Chapter 291: Sunset and Dusk Liangzhou City (43)
When Huan Xuan heard this, he was stunned!
He didn't expect it to be like this.
Indeed, if you think about it carefully, in fact, what Liu Guo said is very reasonable, if he sends troops to fight Yizhou, it is indeed a good move. After all, he is too young, relying on his past prestige and status, relying on the blessing of his father and uncle, in the short term, no one will or dare to challenge his position.
However, if you want to sit firmly on this chair, you can't rely on anything else, and the only thing you can rely on is military merit.
And right now, is there a bigger and easier military feat than winning Yizhou?
What's more, my father and uncle were originally envoys, that is, they could directly launch military operations, and it was no surprise that the imperial court would also inherit this authority directly to themselves, so that the initiative to start a war was completely on their own, and they did not need to be constrained by others.
In that case, there is also an advantage, that is, since it is he who has laid down Yizhou, Yizhou is of course his own territory. Think about it, once such a rich place in Yizhou is obtained, the power of the Jingzhou Group and the Huan family will of course be greatly improved, and at that time, he will be fully capable of dealing with the open guns and hidden arrows of the people in Jiankang.
Zhuge Liang's Longzhong pair and Liu Bei's analysis is "across Jing and Yi, protect its rock resistance, west and Zhurong, and south Fuyi Yue...... If there is a change in the world, he will order a general to take the army of Jingzhou to Xiang Wan and Luo, and lead the people of Yizhou out of Qinchuan", for Huan Xuan, of course, there is no problem of reviving the Han Dynasty, but the ambition of his father Huan Wen back then, Huan Xuan has not forgotten it, and he dare not forget it!
So this matter, even if Liu Guo doesn't say it, Huan Xuan's staff will find out sooner or later, of course, then there may be some opportunities to miss, but he should still be able to do it, this will not be because it is Duan Ye's people who mention it, Huan Xuan will not do it in anger.
The problem is that from Liu Guo's words, Huan Xuan got very important news, that is, Duan Ye's power has swelled to the point that he wants to swallow the entire Liangzhou! This is what really surprised Huan Xuan.
You know, less than two years ago, Duan Ye was just joining the army! Will such a person take it into his own eyes?
But now, Duan Ye has long been famous all over the world. And according to what he knows about Duan Ye, since he wants to do it, it means that he is quite sure, otherwise he would not have done it. If Lu Guang, who supported him single-handedly, was also overturned by Duan Ye, and Duan Ye became the new master of Liangzhou, I am afraid that the situation in the world would not know what would change.
Liu Guojian Huan Xuan's expression was complicated, and he couldn't help but say: "Nanjun Gongmingjian, what Lord Duan wants to do is thousands of miles away from Jingzhou Yizhou, and it can't and won't damage the interests of the Huan family at all, but this time, by coincidence, if the adult goes west to Yizhou, it will be beneficial to both the adult and the adult Duan, in the words of the adult Duan, it can be described as a "win-win", so the adult Duan sent Liu to come here thousands of miles away to give the adult advice, and my adult said, if the adult succeeds and wins Yizhou, my adult family, There are also heavy gifts. ”
At this moment, Huan Xuan is really a little nervous, the reason is very simple, Liu Guo's statements are tantamount to showing that Duan Ye has great determination to take Liangzhou, and he does not hesitate to pay a considerable price. Obviously, whether or not you send troops also has a great impact on this.
If you send troops to Yizhou, not only for yourself, but also for others, Huan Xuan will have to think about it.
Therefore, Huan Xuan gently pushed the teacup and said: "Mr. Liu's words today have taught Huan Xuan a lot, but my family is now in mourning, although the state is a major event, and filial piety is light, but this matter, Huan Xuan really can't make a decision now, and he has to discuss it with the elders at home." ”
The meaning of pushing the lamp, that is, sending off guests, Liu Guo is very knowledgeable, and knows that it is not appropriate to talk about it anymore, anyway, the other party is already tempted, and according to the previous consideration and design, Huan Xuan can't resist this kind of yòu'huò.
Anyway, the result is no different, and if I stay any longer, I'm afraid it will change.
Therefore, Liu Guo immediately got up and said, "In this way, Liu Guo still has other things, so he will leave first!" ”
"If Huan Xuan has something to find Mr., how can he find it?" Huan Xuan immediately asked a very critical question.
Liu Guo smiled and said, "Nanjun Gong, please rest assured, if you need to contact Nanjun Gong, our people will definitely feel it as soon as possible." ”
After that, Liu Guo drifted away.
Huan Xuan sat there, his fingers lightly clasped on the table, Liu Guo's shock to him was really too great, because not to mention his various incisive analyses before, but the last sentence was enough to be thought-provoking.
Since he meant that he could find it at any time if he wanted to, the subtext was that they also had a layout in Gangneung!
Liu Guo is obviously Duan Ye's spokesperson stationed in Jiangnan, needless to say, not only himself, it is estimated that Jiankang, Liu Guo also has ink. Even people like Liu Guo can be used by Duan Ye, how strong should Duan Ye be?
After thinking about it, Huan Xuan still clapped his hands, and his henchman Huan Dao walked in and said, "Childe, what are your orders?" ”
"You go and invite a few uncles, a few brothers, and Changshi to join the army, and say that I have something important to discuss with them tonight, and the place is in my study. "Yes."
Huan Xuan watched Huan Dao leave, and finally had time to rub the corners of his eyes that were a little tired. At this time, Huan Xuan suddenly had an idea, Liu Guo is so talented and can handle such a big situation, should he take him over?
After thinking about it, since Duan Ye can even run errands for people like Liu Guo, it means that Duan Ye either has a great favor to Liu Guo and he needs to reciprocate, or Duan Ye does have something outstanding that can convince Liu Guo and thus die down, but no matter which one it is, as Liu Guo analyzed, since Liu Yu is his opponent, Duan Ye is not?
Letting Liu Yu and Fu Rui face off against each other and not helping him is weakening Liu Yu. So if he kills Liu Guo now, will he also weaken Duan Ye?
Once this kind of thought grows, it cannot be suppressed, and this is Gangneung! It's your own territory! Huan Xuan's eyes narrowed.
And Liu Guo, who left the Huan Mansion, went around in this Jiangling City, and finally went around to a jì courtyard, and after entering, he paid the money and immediately entered a cellar, and there was already a lǎo'bǎo waiting there.
Seeing that Liu Guo had returned safely, Lǎo'bǎo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Why should Lord Liu take risks, let's just do this thing." ”
"No, if you do this, Huan Xuan may still do it, but your safety cannot be guaranteed." Liu Guo was actually very nervous, and he was drenched in sweat, "But the lord reminded me that after completing the task, I must move away quickly, is your ship ready?" ”
"It's ready." lǎo'bǎo said, "My lord, are you going to go?" ”
"Yes, leave immediately, I am afraid of change. This is their place, although I am circling in Gangneung, but they are only temporarily dumped, sooner or later they will find here, I must go, otherwise it will affect you. Liu Guo changed into clothes and said firmly.
"That'...... Okay, I'll arrange it. ”
"Wait a minute." Liu Guo took Lǎo'bǎo's hand, "Yan'er, I've suffered you this time." ”
"My lord, this is what a slave should do." Lǎo'bǎo, who was called Yan'er, had a hint of blush on his face, but he still walked away firmly.
Although she is a lǎo'bǎo, Yan'er is not lǎo'bǎo, but the first batch of women among the intelligence officers recruited by Duan Ye, and has been working with Liu Guo. Between men and women, get along for a long time, if they are both single, it is strange not to secretly have feelings.
It's a pity that the xìng quality of work makes the two get together less and leave more, Liu Guo looked at Yan'er's hurried back, and he was also full of emotion in his heart.
"When the world is peaceful, I will definitely marry you!" Liu Guo said firmly.
Half an hour later, a group of soldiers entered the jì courtyard and asked for an inspection, but Lǎo'bǎo was not worried at all, and opened the door very openly, allowing the soldiers to check enough.
After seven searches, he couldn't find out how, and Huan Dao, who led the team, had to admit that he was unlucky and went back to restore his life. Of course, he didn't forget to leave a few people here to watch, he always felt that Liu Guo still didn't run.
In fact, at this time, a leaf boat has already gone down the river, and when it arrives in Jiangxia, it will turn from the Yangtze River to the Han River, and then go upstream. Liu Guo is always busy.
**********************
Liu Guo is very busy in Jiangnan, and now the land of Hebei is also very lively.
After a long battle, the situation finally became clear, and the armies of Murong Chui and Murong Nong, the kings of Wu, met in Yebei, and the 100,000 troops set up camp in Yebei. Yecheng has been surrounded like an iron bucket.
An important reason why Murong Chong was expected to return before was that everyone felt that Murong Chong was dead. Although it is said that their own people kill each other, everyone thinks it is not good. But it's already a fait accompli, Murong Chong has entered the palace in Yecheng, so what else is there to say? Who else has a bloodline that is more suitable for the emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom than Murong Chong?
People from other parts of Hebei are actually ghosts, if they have to choose, of course they would rather choose Murong Trai to be the emperor, after all, Murong Trai is older and has a higher prestige.
Murong Chong came to power, they had opinions, but they were not willing to spill their blood for this. If someone takes the lead in resisting, then it might as well be a vote.
Since there is none, then it is okay to be obedient.
This is also the reason why Murong Chong felt that the rear was settled at that time, and dared to go south to fight Liu Yu.
But this time and that time. Now that Murong Chui has made a public appearance and transferred all the veterans from his hometown in Liaodong, what else is there to say? The winner has already been decided! Last time, you Murong Chong leaned on Fu Pi, Murong Chong didn't guard against you when he was fighting, and he played a sneak attack to succeed, this time you still have a chance?
Therefore, all prefectures and counties, almost between Yī'yè, defected to the banner and announced their support for Murong Chui. Murong Chong went south from the Great Wall to the edge of Yecheng, almost invincible, and his soldiers were bloodless.
Of course, since it is said almost, it means that there are exceptions.
The exception is Zhongshan City.
The guard of Zhongshan City is a Han man called Zhao Lie, he was originally a member of Zhongshan, in fact, the guard was Murong Chong's distant cousin Murong Jian, as soon as he heard that Murong Chui had returned, and knew that Murong Chong had wanted to kill Murong Chui, then what else to say, he turned around at the moment and sent someone to send a letter to Murong Chui to attach himself to Murong Chui.
Who would have thought that this Zhao Lie received Murong Chong's favor, and actually hacked Murong Jian to death with one sword, and then led his henchmen to kill Murong Jian's people, and then defended Zhongshan, and at the same time sent people back to report and ask for reinforcements.
It's a pity that the angry Murong Chui immediately led the army to attack the city, and the main force of the northern army besieged it day and night at the expense of casualties. Murong saw that he had no intention of resisting before, so the garrison in the city was not fully prepared, and Zhao Lie was only loyal, but he was not a good general, so Zhao Lie held out for three days, but the city was still breached.
But Zhao Lie still set fire to ** before he died, and did not surrender at all.
Moreover, the three days that Zhao Lie fought for were extremely precious to Murong Chong! With these three days, Murong Chong was able to avoid being taken by the momentum of sweeping thousands of troops, at that time he had just returned to Yecheng, and he had not yet stabilized the situation. With these three days, he could rectify the city of Xia Ye and avoid the collapse before the battle.
But in any case, Murong Chong was left with only a lonely city in Yecheng.
However, Murong Chong was not worried at all, because Yecheng was the core of Hebei after all, the city was high and deep, the grain and grass were sufficient, and the city was full of people who were finally his own, and the most important thing was that he still had a thought.
Li Qianshan, who is absolutely loyal to himself, wrote a few days ago, saying that as long as he held until the end of June, he would definitely bring reinforcements and defeat Murong Chui.
Murong Chong was convinced of this, because Li Qianshan had followed him these days, and he had never said anything that he was not sure of, and he had never done something that he was not sure of. To a certain extent, he was able to unify Hebei for a time, which was completely due to Li Qianshan.
If he says yes, he will do!
Besides, now that there are only ten days left, no matter how Yecheng is, it will be no problem to keep it for ten days.
The only thing that made Murong Chong still haunted was Murong Chong's extraordinary betrayal at that time, which led to the collapse of the southern front as a whole, otherwise, why not?
Although Liu Yu had already returned to help, Murong Chong couldn't swallow this breath in his heart at all, he had already sworn that one day he would go back to seek justice!
While Murong Chong was still thinking hard, Murong Chui's envoy Jiang Hai arrived at the city of Yecheng and asked to enter the city.
Murong Chong wanted to shoot him to death with an arrow to show his determination to never compromise, but he didn't know why, he thought about it again, and still felt that it would be better to leave a line and see each other, so he sent someone to hang Jiang Hai in a bamboo basket.
Jiang Hai came in, and after seeing Murong Chong, he didn't salute, stalked his head, stared at his eyes and only said: "It's not too late to change!" ”
Murong Chong saw his looking searching, he was not angry, and said slowly: "In the past, Murong Ping wanted to harm King Wu, if there was no Lone King, even if King Wu tried to surrender, he would not be able to escape being killed, this is a personal favor." The war in Guanzhong, the king of Wu because of the small favor of Fu Jian, he disregarded the major affairs of the country, the benevolence of the woman, was the first king to hold high the banner of righteousness, Kuang Fu Dayan, this is justice, the previous Yecheng, the king of Wu treacherous, trying to attack me, I responded in time, coupled with the people's wishes, the expectations of the people, so they broke them. I read King Wu on the seniority is my uncle, only to open the net, originally wanted King Wu to go to the elderly, just imagine, if the Lone King was wiped out at that time, King Wu could have today? Why didn't King Wu know the current affairs and die of old age? If he returned to Liaodong, he would live for the rest of his life, repair the old industry of Yan State, destroy the tyrannical Qin, dominate the world, and glorify his ancestors. If I don't come to my senses again, when I go out of the city to fight with him, then King Wu is afraid that he will not be able to survive alone. ”
Jiang Hai didn't expect that Murong Chong would be so shameless, he could reverse black and white like this, fight a rake, and dare to be arrogant, obviously he was under siege, and he dared to brag when he was in danger, so Jiang Hai said in a strong voice: "Although the King of Zhongshan has made meritorious achievements in the past, but the King of Wu was forced by the Jiān people, but the King of Zhongshan took the initiative to rebel, although the King of Wu had to be a minister, he always adhered to his name, what about you, King Zhongshan?" In terms of seniority, relatives, sparseness, and foolishness, does King Zhongshan think that he can be compared with King Wu? What's more, although the king of Zhongshan took the lead in raising the banner of righteousness, but he was repeatedly defeated, if it were not for the high prestige of King Wu in Hebei, the king of Zhongshan would have been destroyed by Dou Chong, the king of Zhongshan not only did not know the return, but took revenge, trying to usurp the country, so intolerable to the matter of the family and country, does the king of Zhongshan have a clear conscience? The king of Zhongshan wants to crack the crown and destroy the crown, establish his own monarch, and he can make a big move, why bother to fake benevolence and false righteousness, but it is a pity that the king of Zhongshan is not in the year of his establishment, but he wants to hang the white flag and be a rebel in vain! ”
"Presumptuous!"
"Bold!"
The generals in the room broke off in unison, each with a sword, wanting to rush up and split Jiang Hai's body into pieces, but in the face of the sword, Jiang Hai stood calmly, his expression unchanged.
"Slow!"
Murong Chong drank the generals, was silent for a long time, and said: "Each is his master, what is the crime?" Let's go! ”
Jiang Hai strode out of the tent and went back to Murong Chui's camp.
The generals were very dissatisfied, so just now, Jiang Hai humiliated Murong Chong greatly, but he didn't know why Murong Chong, who had always been very short-tempered, actually endured it this time.
Everyone was about to advise, saying that it was still too late to hunt down Jiang Hai, but Murong Chong waved his hand and said, "Everyone, go down, I'm tired." ”
"King!"
"I'm tired." Murong Chong's reputation was much higher, and everyone left in a huff.
The matter has come to this point, since Murong Chong has refused peace, let's fight!
This time, Murong Chui was not polite, he personally led an army of 80,000 to besiege Yecheng from three sides, leaving the south gate, but he didn't care. The meaning is also obvious, I'm an uncle, you're a nephew, and I'm so good to be a little more elegant, although you're not a thing.
I leave the south gate, if you are interested, you can leave from the south gate, I only want Hebei and Yecheng, and I don't necessarily have to kill you.
But this kindness, Murong Chong did not receive it at all, since Murong Chui did not attack the south, he did not defend the south, but concentrated the army in the other three directions.
The northern army set up ladders, dug tunnels, and attacked fiercely. Murong Chong boarded the city to defend it, and the soldiers of the whole army used their lives, and after five days, Yecheng remained immovable.
Murong Chong went through this battle, although he also suffered heavy losses, thousands of people were killed, making the defense a little stretched, and he was also injured. But after all, there are only three days left before the end of the month, and I estimated my remaining manpower, grain and grass, rolling wood and stones, etc., and there was no problem at all for another three days.
Three days from now, it will be your end! Murong Chong said viciously.
Hot
