Chapter 748: The Battle of the Northern Expedition

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

After Peng Pet's rebellion, Zhang Bu in the south and the Xiongnu in the north had a good meal in Youzhou.

Zhang Bu in the south gave Peng Pet some support, and the Xiongnu in the north were bought by Peng Pet, and sent tens of thousands of Xiongnu soldiers and horses to assist Peng Pet, wanting to help him take Youzhou in one fell swoop.

After receiving reinforcements from the Huns, Peng Pet's morale was stronger, and Peng Pet successively encircled the Fuping Rebel Army and the Suo Rebel Army, and Zhang Feng, the Taishou of Zhuo County, also created Liu Xiu's rebellion and responded to Peng Pet, which doubled Peng Pet's strength.

In the ensuing battle, Peng Pet led his soldiers and horses to defeat Youzhou Mu Zhufu stationed in Jixian County in one fell swoop, and successfully occupied Jixian County.

After that, Peng Pet proclaimed himself the king of Yan in Jixian County, and the capital was in Ji. This is the current situation in Youzhou. In the court on this day, Liu Xiu did not immediately say anything about quelling Peng Chong's rebellion, but first took out a letter of Zhu Fu and handed it over to the ministers for circulation. Zhu Fu's recital, in general, is a complaint against Liu Xiu, but the words are very tactful,

It's not sharp, but it can also be seen that Zhu Fu was very angry when he wrote this note.

Zhu Fu was dissatisfied that Liu Xiu dismissed a lieutenant in Youzhou.

After Liu Xiu came to power, he appointed imperial envoys on a large scale, and then sent imperial envoys to the local areas to supervise local officials. If a local official holds the court's money, but does not do anything, the imperial envoy wants to be impeached; If the local official is unfavorable and the government is not good, the imperial envoy will be impeached; If a magistrate fills his own pockets and accepts bribes, the imperial envoy will be impeached

In short, the imperial envoy can impeach him if he sees someone who is not pleasing to the eye, and casually puts a crime or fault on his head.

Since the imperial envoys were all selected, approved, and appointed by Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu attached great importance to the imperial envoy's dismissal, and once he received the impeachment of the imperial envoy, the lighter was to issue an order to reprimand, the worst was to be dismissed from office, and there were even those who were imprisoned.

This time, the imperial envoy Shangshu impeached a lieutenant in Youzhou, and Liu Xiu ordered him to be dismissed.

When Zhu Fu learned about this, he was furious, he was a Youzhou pastor, he didn't know what was going on, and one of his subordinate officials was dismissed.

And it was not a petty official who was dismissed, it was a captain, a high-ranking official who was in charge of the military affairs of a county and whose status was second only to that of Taishou.

Zhu Fu immediately wrote a letter to Liu Xiu, in which Zhu Fu criticized the policy adopted by Liu Xiu.

The imperial envoy is not a big official, and the Yulu is only a few hundred stones, while the captain's Yulu is more than two thousand stones. Isn't it a joke that an official who has a few hundred stones can easily be dismissed?

What's more, the imperial envoy is a human being, and if he is a human being, he has selfish intentions, and who dares to guarantee that there will be no subjective factors in the imperial envoy's impeachment, and there will be no unjust, false and wrongly decided cases?

His Majesty did not investigate, did not interrogate, and only listened to the words of the imperial envoy, and dismissed high-ranking local officials at will, and in the long run, I don't know how many unjust and wrongful cases have been caused.

If this situation continues, then in the future, everyone of the local officials will be in danger, and everyone will try their best to curry favor with the imperial envoys.

Zhu Fu's words, the words are not so sharp, but the general meaning is these. After Liu Xiu looked at it, he did feel that Zhu Fu's reprimand of himself was reasonable, and there was indeed something wrong with his own policy.

Liu Xiu is not a person who wants to save face and refuses to admit his mistakes, he deliberately took Zhu Fu's recital to the court, let the court officials look at it, and ask them what their opinions are. Zhu Fu, the advantages and disadvantages are particularly obvious, as far as personal character is concerned, small belly, narrow-minded, extremely grudgeful, if anyone offends him, he can hate the other party for a lifetime, as long as there is a chance, he will do everything possible to give the other party small shoes

wear, Peng Pet was forced to rebel by Zhu Fu's repeated framing. But when it comes to governance, Zhu Fu is really a generation of virtuous ministers, Liu Xiu made mistakes, he dared to speak outright and correct, and many of the policies he proposed were also adopted and implemented by Liu Xiu, for the Jianwu Imperial Court that had just been formed, Zhu Fu

It's a real contribution.

After the ministers circulated Zhu Fu's recital, many people were secretly grinning, even if Zhu Fu's words were very soft, but after all, he was accusing His Majesty of not being right, complaining that His Majesty's policy was wrong, and few people dared to write this kind of recital.

Seeing that everyone had finished circulating, Liu Xiu asked, "What do you think of Zhu Zhoumu's letter?" The ministers looked at each other, no one spoke, and after waiting for a while, Fu Zhan took the lead in lifting the wat board and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Zhu Zhou's words are reasonable, and the imperial envoy inspects the place on behalf of the Son of Heaven, which has both benefits and disadvantages, just like Zhu."

The governor said that it is very easy to cause unjust, false and wrongful cases, and please ask Your Majesty to investigate! Song Hong then said: "Your Majesty's imperial envoy inspection policy, Weichen thinks, can greatly deter and supervise local officials, but the power of the imperial envoy should also be limited, the imperial envoy impeached officials, can not be interrogated, only listen to the imperial envoy's words

If the impeachment of the imperial envoy is fraudulent, the imperial envoy should also be severely punished. ”

Liu Xiu nodded while listening, feeling that Song Hong's words were very reasonable. He looked around at the rest of the people and said, "What do you think?" ”

"What Song Sikong said is extremely true!"

"Song Sikong is very good! Weichen seconded! "Weichen seconded the proposal!" Seeing that no one raised objections, Liu Xiu said: "I have not considered the selection of the imperial envoy to inspect the place, and now Shuyuan pointed out the drawbacks, which also made me feel quite enlightened. Loyal ministers dare to admonish directly, and the secretaries should also follow suit.

"The imperial envoy inspected, obviously there are such big drawbacks, but there is only Zhu Fu who dares to give direct advice, and Liu Xiu is now also using words to point out the ministers in the hall. Wu Han and Jia Fu didn't feel anything, but Fu Zhan, Song Hong and other texts

The minister's face was red, and he bowed forward one after another, saying, "Weichen remember His Majesty's teachings!" ”

As soon as this matter came to an end, Geng Yi raised the wat board and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen is playing!" ”

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Bo Zhao has something to say, please speak." ”

Geng Yi said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to lead his troops and horses to crusade against the anti-thief Peng Pet and quell the rebellion in Youzhou!" ”

As soon as his words fell, Wu Han followed and stepped out of the ranks, arching his hand and saying: "Your Majesty, calm down the Peng thief, and the ministers are willing to go!" ”

Deng Yu and Gai Yan also came out one after another and asked Liu Xiu to fight.

Liu Xiu looked at the people who were asking for battle, smiled slightly, and said: "Earlier, when the red eyebrows were first decided, Bo Zhao had already asked me to go to Youzhou and pacify Peng Chong, but now the red eyebrows have been decided, and I should also fulfill the original promise." ”

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Geng Yi and said, "General Jianwei! ”

"Wechen is here!" Geng Yi bowed his hand.

"General Jianyi!"

"Wechen is here!" Zhu You stepped out of the ranks and intervened in the salute.

"General Hanzhong!"

"Wechen is here!" The king often came out of the queue and intervened in the ceremony.

Liu Xiu said: "Geng Yi is the main general, Zhu You and Wang Chang are the deputy generals, commanding 100,000 troops, going to Youzhou to fight against Peng Pet!" ”

"Wechen obeys!" Geng Yi, Zhu You, and Wang Chang all showed joy on their faces and responded in unison.

Liu Xiu said: "In this battle, you must not only pacify the anti-thieves, pacify the Fuping thief army, and get the thief army, but also expel the Huns." How can the Huns trample on the territory of my Han Dynasty? ”

Geng Yi, Zhu You, and Wang Chang saluted again, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, rest assured, Weichen will live up to his mission!" Peng Pet has been tossing in Youzhou for a long time, and Liu Xiu has almost always taken a laissez-faire attitude towards Youzhou, not that Liu Xiu doesn't want to take care of it, but that he doesn't take care of it. The timing of Peng Pet's rebellion was too good, and the soldiers under Liu Xiu's command at that time were too good

horses, at the same time in the west, south and east. In the three-front battle, there were really no extra troops to pacify Peng Pet, and now that the Western Expedition and the Eastern Expedition have ended, Liu Xiu has finally vacated his hands to deal with Peng Pet's henchman.

Soon, Geng Yi led an army of 100,000 and went north to Youzhou, and at the same time, Fulong sent an envoy to Yanzhou to persuade Zhang Bu to surrender.

Peng Pet and Zhang Bu have reached an alliance, if Fu Long can really succeed in persuading Zhang Bu to surrender, it will be a big blow to Peng Pet's forces.

The news that Geng Yi led an army of 100,000 to the north soon spread to Youzhou, and Peng Pet was shocked when he learned of this. Don't look at him beating Zhu Fu here in Youzhou, but Geng Yi is not Zhu Fu.

Zhu Fu is more inclined to Wenchen, and Geng Yi is a real general, and he is also a famous general who is brave and good at fighting, Geng Yi commanded an army of 100,000 to go north, and Peng Pet really didn't dare to touch it. He sent an envoy overnight to the Xiongnu, met with the Xiongnu Shan Yu, and asked the Xiongnu to send reinforcements again. Previously, the Xiongnu had reinforced more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to Peng Chong, but in the face of Geng Yi's 100,000 troops, Peng Chong felt that there were only more than 10,000 Xiongnu horses

Bing, it's not enough. Peng Pet did a lot of looting in Youzhou, and he also sent gold, silver, jewelry and beauties to the Xiongnu Shan Yu, and now these gifts have played an effective role. Xiongnu Shan Yu met with Peng Pet's envoy, and after listening to the envoy's request, Xiongnu Shan Yu did not think much about it and sent

Two Hun kings were dispatched, commanding tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to reinforce Peng Chong.

When the envoy returned to Jixian County, after listening to the envoy's relay of the Xiongnu Shan Yu's reinforcements, Peng Chong was overjoyed and sighed repeatedly: "The big thing has come true!" It's a big deal! ”

With tens of thousands of Hun reinforcements, he doesn't have to be afraid of Geng Yi.

Peng Pet sent his younger brother Peng Chun to meet the Xiongnu army, and agreed with the two Xiongnu kings that his two troops and horses would attack the Han army together, and they would be able to defeat Geng Yi on both sides.

The two Xiongnu kings had no objection, accepted Peng Chong's request, and temporarily handed over the command of the Xiongnu army to Peng Chun. According to the agreement between him and his brother, Peng Chun prepared to attack Geng Yijun in two ways.

As a result, Peng Chun's side had not yet encountered Geng Yi's army, but when he was marching through Shanggu County, Geng Guo, the Taishou of Shanggu, knew about the military situation, and Geng Guo immediately convened the county government officials to discuss the matter.

Most of the county government officials suggested that Geng Guo should not act rashly, that is the tens of thousands of Hun troops, and the thousands of troops in Shanggu County are not opponents of others in any case. Geng Shu disagrees with the opinions of the officials, now Peng Pet colludes with the Huns, and wants to implement the tactics of two-sided attack on Geng Yi's department, once Peng Pet's tactics are successfully implemented, Geng Yi's department will fall into great passivity, and if it is not good, it will be Peng Petlian

Hand Huns, defeated in one fell swoop.

If Geng Yi is defeated, what will happen next? As the saying goes, it is easy to invite God and difficult to send God, what are the Huns sending so many soldiers and horses to reinforce Peng Pet?

To put it bluntly, the Huns are Youzhou! After Geng Yi was defeated, all the counties of Youzhou will fall, and by that time, where will Youzhou still be the Youzhou of the Han Dynasty, and it will become Youzhou of the Huns.

Therefore, now is the time of life and death in Youzhou! They must not allow Peng Pet to smoothly implement the tactics of attacking from both sides, and the Hun army passing through Shanggu County must be annihilated. After Geng Shu finished speaking, the county officials present were stupid, they were scared stupid, first, Geng Shu said that this situation is really possible, and second, thousands of county troops on their own side want to annihilate tens of thousands of Hun troops, isn't it crazy?
