Chapter 661: Suiyang Imperial Court
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Hearing Dongli's words, all the generals present were taken aback, and then people sighed one after another: "General Zhang and General Sun actually captured Liyang, this time they have made a great contribution!" ”
"General, are we ...... Should we also take this opportunity to send troops to help General Zhang and General Sun? ”
"We only have 5,000 soldiers and horses, and now it is Liu Xiu's 20,000 elites who are attacking Liyang, as far as our people are concerned, I'm afraid it's not enough for people to stuff their teeth!"
"That's right! What's more, our department is ordered to garrison Baimajin, if there is no will of His Majesty, rash action, even if it really makes a great achievement, it will lose its head if it is not good! ”
Dong Liang waved his hand to everyone, interrupting people's discussions, and Zhengse said: "I plan to go to Suiyang in person, not only to send a letter to Your Majesty, but also to ask Your Majesty to send troops to Liyang!" During my absence, Ling Xianke sat in the camp on my behalf. ”
The partial general Dong Guan hurriedly intervened to give a salute and said, "The last general obeys the order!" ”
Dong Li looked at Dong Guan and said: "During this time, Ling Xian must not send troops without authorization, no matter how critical the situation in Hebei is, everything will be said after I come back!" ”
"Yes! Checkmate! Dong Guan bowed and responded.
After explaining everything that should be explained, Dongli did not delay much, rode a fast horse, left the Baimajin camp, and went straight to Suiyang.
Suiyang belongs to Yuzhou, but it is not very fixed, in the past, the border between states and states often changed, and Liangguo County, where Suiyang is located, is sometimes classified into Yuzhou, and sometimes it is classified into Yanzhou.
White horse to Suiyang, although not close, but not far. Out of the East County where Baimajin is located, go all the way south, pass through Chenliu County, and you can go to Liangguo County, where Suiyang is located.
Dongli worked hard all the way, and it only took more than two days to arrive in Suiyang.
Liu Yong was shocked when he learned that the head of Baimajin, Dongli, had suddenly returned to Beijing, thinking that something big had happened to Baimajin, and hurriedly summoned Dongli in the Suiyang Palace.
After seeing Dongli, the first thing Liu Yong asked was: "General Dong, did Liu Xiujun cross the river to attack Baimajin?" ”
Dong Li was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, Liu Xiujun did not cross the river to attack Baimajin!" "Oh!" When Liu Yong heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, now he is already in a hurry to deal with the Gaiyan Department that has advanced all the way, if Liu Xiujun uses Baimajin as a breakthrough to give his own side a two-pronged approach, then he is true
It's hard to handle.
Liu Yong immediately frowned, looked at Dong Li dissatisfied, and asked, "Since Bai Majin is fine, why did General Dong suddenly return to Beijing?" ”
Dong Li hurriedly took out the bamboo tube, handed it forward, and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has an urgent military intelligence report from Liyang!" ”
When Liu Yong heard this, his eyes flashed. The attendant on the side hurriedly stepped forward, but the bamboo tube, opened, poured out the cloth inside, checked it, and confirmed that there was no problem, and then handed it over to Liu Yong. Liu Yong took it and looked at it closely.
Zhang Yi is his confidant, and he is very familiar with Zhang Yi's handwriting. didn't need to look at the content, just looked at the handwriting, Liu Yong immediately judged that this should be Zhang Yi's handwritten letter.
However, he still asked, "General Dong, is this General Zhang's letter?" "Exactly!" Dong Li recounted in detail: "General Zhang and General Sun have already led their troops to infiltrate Liyang, and launched a sneak attack on the county government in the city, conquering the county government in one fell swoop, and successfully occupied Liyang, but Liu Xiu and 20,000 elites were stationed in the city
Outside, now Liu Xiu personally commanded the army, is attacking the city, General Zhang and General Sun led the troops to resist desperately, the situation is critical, please Your Majesty quickly send troops to rescue! ”
After the east fence finished speaking, the ministers in the hall were all surprised and delighted. Now Suiyang has heard that Liu Xiu drove the expedition and pacified the Five School Army, and even Feng Lun's Department, which assisted the Five School Army in his own court, was wiped out with the Five School Army.
Originally, people thought that their layout in Wei County had completely failed, but they did not expect that Zhang Yi and Sun Cheng would make the battle situation turn around, and under Liu Xiu's nose, they successfully captured Liyang, the gateway to Wei County.
Liu Yong read Zhang Yi's handwritten letter from beginning to end, looking excited, he put down the letter and asked, "General Dong, how did General Zhang's letter get to you?" ”
Dong Li would not say that it was a small soldier who broke through the siege and sent it to his own camp. He said with a straight face: "Back to Your Majesty, there was a fierce battle in Liyang, and after Weichen heard the news, he immediately guessed that it must be General Zhang and General Sun who won in the city. But without receiving His Majesty's order, Weichen did not dare to use troops without authorization, so he could only send hundreds of elites
Rui Zhiren crossed the river to the north and wanted to help the two generals Zhang and Sun. However, Liu Xiu's army had a large number of troops, and the elite of our troops fought with the enemy, with most of the casualties, and in the process of retreating, they received a letter sent by General Zhang. ”
"I see!" Liu Yong nodded.
Dongli arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the two generals Zhang and Sun, as well as eight thousand soldiers, are trapped in Liyang, the situation is critical, and their lives are hanging by a thread. ”
"This ......" Liu Yong frowned, Zhang Yi and Sun Cheng successfully took Liyang, which is a great thing, but the question also arises, how can they defend Liyang.
General Zhou Jian said: "General Dong's subordinates only have 5,000 soldiers and horses, and Liu Xiu's command has 20,000 people, and General Dong only led 5,000 subordinates to reinforce Liyang, which is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg!" ”
Zhou Jian can be said to be the minister of the humerus under Liu Yong, and half of the more than 30 cities controlled by Liu Yong were led by Zhou Jian.
Liu Fang, the general of the auxiliary state, who is also Liu Yong's younger brother, said: "Your Majesty can transfer troops and horses from the capital to aid Liyang!" ”
When Zhou Jian heard this, his face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No!" The army of the Beijing division must not be mobilized! ”
The Jingshi army stationed in Suiyang is the capital of the Suiyang court to resist the Gaiyan Department, if the Jingshi army is mobilized to reinforce Liyang, then what should the capital Suiyang do?
Liu Yong's youngest brother, Liu Shaogong, who worshiped Imperial Doctor Shi, nodded thoughtfully and said, "General Zhou's words are reasonable, with the current battle situation, it is indeed not appropriate for the Jingshi army to be mobilized. ”
Liu Fang calmed his face and said unhappily: "If we don't mobilize the Jingshi army, what will we do to rescue Liyang?" Liyang is not only the gateway to Wei County, now Liu Xiu is also in Liyang, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! ”
As he spoke, he glanced around meaningfully. Zhou Jian and Liu Shaogong fell silent. Both of them understood the meaning of Liu Fang's words, Liu Xiu is now in Liyang, and there are less than 20,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and these less than 20,000 soldiers and horses have just finished fighting with the five school army, and they are tired up and down, battalion
There must have been a lot of wounded soldiers.
This time, if you send troops to Liyang, it will indeed be a great opportunity to kill Liu Xiu, and such an opportunity is indeed not so easy to find.
Liu Xiu, who is in Liyang, is so tempting that even Zhou Jian, who has always been steady, and Liu Shaogong, who is deep in the city government, don't want to miss this opportunity.
Liu Yong didn't want to miss this opportunity, if Liu Xiu died, not only would the fierce rival of the Luoyang Imperial Court fall apart, but he, Liu Yong, would become the only orthodox Han emperor in the world.
As long as Liu Xiu is dead, he Liu Yong can ascend to the sky in one step, this temptation is too great.
He turned his head to look at Da Situ Liu Shang and asked, "Situ, what do you think?" ”
Liu Shang is Liu Yong's brother, and in the Suiyang court, all high-ranking positions are basically relatives of Liu Yong's family, and Zhou Jian can be regarded as an exception. The difference between Liu Yong and Liu Xiu can also be seen from here.
In the Luoyang court, the number of Liu clan relatives was not small, and after Liu Xuan's downfall, many Liu clan relatives came to Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu is not soft at all on his relatives of the same clan, the marquis who should be the marquis, and the king who should be the king, but if you want an official position and real power, you have to show real skills.
If you don't have the ability, then you can only eat the food of the fiefdom, I can make you worry-free, noble and rich, but if you want real power, then I can't give it to you.
And Liu Yong to his relatives, he not only made marquis, kings, but also gave them officials, whether they had the ability or not, let them occupy the high and powerful positions first.
Arranging for his relatives to occupy these important positions, he is also more at ease and more confident.
In terms of employing people, Liu Xiu is obviously full of confidence, while Liu Yong seems very insecure.
As Liu Shang, the great Situ, he doesn't have to compare with Deng Yu, the great Situ in Luoyang, even if he is a county guard, his ability is insufficient.
However, Liu Shang is a person who is relatively good at speaking, can speak well, and does talk on paper, which is eloquent, and most people can't talk about him.
Hearing Liu Yong ask about himself, Liu Shang smiled slightly and said slowly: "Liyang, you must be saved; Liu Xiu must also be killed; And the Jingshi Army must stay in Suiyang and must not move! ”
Liu Yong blinked, looking at Liu Shang strangely, if he didn't mobilize the Jingshi army, what would he do to rescue Liyang, and what would he do to kill Liu Xiu?
Zhou Jian's eyes rolled, and he secretly said that he was going to suffer! He was about to speak, but this Liu Situ spoke again unhurriedly: "Have you forgotten that the imperial court has stationed 100,000 troops in Ningling!" ”
Sure enough! Zhou Jiandu almost laughed angrily, he knew that no matter what happened, as long as he got to Liu Shang, it would be fine.
He took a deep breath and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Ningling's garrison must not be mobilized!" Ningling is the last gateway to Suiyang, and if Ningling is lost, the enemy army can drive straight into Suiyang and take Suiyang! ”
Liu Shang slowly turned his head, looked at Zhou Jian, who was full of anxiety, and said with a smile: "What is the general anxious about?" I'm not done yet! ”
After a pause, he continued: "Your Majesty, if you transfer Ningling's 100,000 troops to Liyang, then all problems can be solved. An army of 100,000 can not only solve the danger of Liyang, but also make Liu Xiu die without a place to be buried! After Liu Yong heard this, his body couldn't help leaning forward, but after thinking about it, he smiled bitterly: "Situ, General Zhou's worries are not unreasonable, Ningling is the last line of defense in Suiyang, and the 100,000 troops who transferred Ningling can be revisited along the way."
There were no troops to stop the advance of the enemy army. ”
Zhou Jian nodded again and again, fortunately, His Majesty was not as confused as Liu Shang. Before he could let go of this breath, Liu Shang asked with a smile: "What can you do if you lose the portal of Ningling?" ”
Hearing this, Zhou Jian felt that his brain hurt. He said in a deep voice: "After losing Ningling, the Gaiyan army will no longer have resistance, but it can march all the way east, and the troops will come to the city!" ”
"What about the soldiers coming to the city?"
"You ......" "I am Suiyang, there is Suishui to protect the city, and the wall is high and the city is strong, even if Gai Yan leads the army to the city, what can I do?" My 100,000 army to rescue Liyang can not only take the opportunity to kill Liu Xiu, but also capture Wei County in one fell swoop, and then take Hanoi, Henan, and Luoyang from Wei County, Your Majesty's great cause can be determined! Liu Shang held his chest up, his head held high, his face was proud, and his mouth was like a river.
