Chapter 59: Liu Yu's Messenger
Koji Yi is a little moved, the Koji clan is not without a precedent for cooperating with a traitor, but that time Koji won a bad end, although it was just that his skills were inferior to others and he was killed by a young junior. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info But in the final analysis, Koji Sheng after his death did not have a good reputation, but made that embroidery become a famous hero in Zuli because of this prestige.
As the head of the Koji clan's great sect, Koji Yi knew very well that the foundation accumulated by the Koji clan for two hundred years was about to be exhausted in these few failed games.
If he fails again this time, it may be difficult for the Koji clan to turn over in Jizhou...... As for that place in Liangzhou, even if there are thousands of families in the Koji clan, what can they do? What tribe's chieftain Haojie doesn't have this kind of men under his command?
Before meeting Yanbei, Lu Yi thought that the general Zhennan in this rebel army was just a shaft with good luck, but when he met Yanbei, it seemed that this was not the case.
Yan Bei's performance may not be brave enough, but he showed enough caution and tolerance, and even after the death of hundreds of his subordinates, he was willing to cooperate with him, and even threw an olive branch to him, saying that he would conspire with him!
Conspiracy!
Koji Yi likes this statement.
He still remembers that at the banquet in Congtai that day, he asked Yanbei: Why should I join forces with you?
Yan Bei just smiled, there was not much arrogance on his young face, but he seemed to be confident in eating him.
'It's better to have more friends than multiple enemies, let alone a friend like me Yanbei'.
Although the two sides did not reach a joint force, they had nominally shelved the dispute, and both Yanbei and Lu Yi had the idea of taking one step at a time, and temporarily extinguished the desire to engage troops. A dispute was quietly dissipated in a banquet on the platform. The Luyi troops were stationed in the west of Handan City, and Yanbei set aside a camp for the use of the 200 Yiyi and 800 recruits of the Luyi, and all the expenses were taken by Handan.
The crisis of Yanbei went suddenly, and the tiger-like koji Yi who went down the mountain somehow seemed to have a good impression of Yanbei, and entered Handan City and Yanbei drinking narrative every three or five days, and the two grew up in Xiangping, Liaodong, and lived in Xiping, Liangzhou, although they both belong to the north, they are separated by more than 3,000 miles from each other in the east and west, and the customs are not the same, and the exchanges cover a variety of topics.
Whether it is the assault cavalry of Liaodong Wuhuan who is good at using scimitar and spear, or the Hu cavalry of Liangzhou Qiang people who are good at using curved bows and arrows, from the Han people's tactics to the Qiang soldiers' battle formations, from the art of fighting to the archery bow and crossbow, the two have become friends who have almost nothing to talk about in just one month.
In this process, Yanbei also found a shortcoming of his own. He can get along well with the fierce and willful martial arts, but it is difficult to talk to the humble gentleman who sits upright. Whether it is Jiang Jin, Wang Dang, or Lu Yi, they are not easy to get along with, but he can become friends with these people, and even let them be used by him. But no matter whether he faced Zhen Yan or Frustration, he couldn't communicate with them.
The pressure on Yanbei has decreased sharply, but when the autumn wind is bleak in October, the days of the two rebel leaders in the north are not so simple.
The new Youzhou Mu Liu Yu has made a move!
Because of his high prestige in the north, Liu Yu was appointed as the pastor of Youzhou by the imperial court, and was ordered to deal with Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, a powerful rebel army. According to common sense, a person like Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun who connects states and counties and dominates one side cannot be defeated unless he is a fierce general of the three armies. But Liu Yu did the opposite, but took a few family members from Luoyang all the way through the rebel blockade of Jizhou to Jixian County, Youzhou.
After taking office, the first thing Liu Yu did was not to recruit troops, but to streamline the troops, and cut half of the sergeants recruited in Youzhou counties to guard against the rebels. Later, the second warrant of Youzhou Mu was issued.
Send envoys to enter the rebel territory and meet with Su Fuyan, the king of Wuhuan, Qiu Liju, the king of Wuhuan, and Yanbei, the general of the pseudo-Zhennan!
And the third warrant was to order Sun Zhan, the governor of the soldiers and horses, to command 3,000 cavalry, and assist the Zhonglang sent by the imperial court to Youzhou to attack Meng Yi, who was entrenched in Yuyang!
Yanbei met Liu Yu's envoy from Youzhou in October, who was not very old, dressed in straight clothes, and was not angry when he saw the rebels, and saluted Yanbei in the general's mansion with a smile, bowed and said: "Engaged in Wei Yu in Xiayouzhou, meet General Yan of Zhennan." ”
Yan Bei and the envoy from Youzhou had been waiting for too long, but now that Wei You really came, he was a little at a loss, and symbolically arched his hand and immediately said, "Envoy, please sit down, please explain the intention." ”
"Hehe, thank you General Yan." Wei You is worthy of being the messenger selected by Liu Yu, looking at the bearded man who was full of armor and soldiers in the general's mansion without the slightest fear, he still thanked Yanbei with a smile, and then knelt down in the hall and said to Yanbei: "General Yan, this visit is for Youzhou Liu Gong, but also for Your Excellency, Liu Gong has a word, you were bewitched by Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, two traitors, so Liu Gong does not intend to hold you responsible, as long as you are willing to disperse the soldiers and horses and no longer help the abuse, the court must not be guilty of the past." ”
Wei You also had a bottom in his heart before he came, he knew very well that this was an easy errand, and the biggest danger would only happen on the road, and now he was naturally very relaxed when he saw Yan Bei. Liu Yu told him that this Yanbei had already had two hearts for Zhang Chun, and he should not refuse his statement.
Unexpectedly, Yan Bei frowned when he heard Wei You's words, and his fingers were clasped on a few cases, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Mr. Wei, I don't want to disperse the soldiers and horses, these brothers work hard for Yan, and Yan will be responsible for them." After pondering for a long time, Yan Beicai said loudly: "I have only one request, these brothers under my command are willing to serve Liu Gong, but I don't know what Liu Gong can give us?" ”
Wei You's face froze, it was obvious that people were tired of being a rebel and wanted to be a Han army!
If it was normal, Yanbei's request was not a big deal. But the key is that Yanbei's troops are different! Who has ever seen someone in the Han army wearing a yellow scarf, which makes people suddenly think that the nightmare four years ago has returned?
If this Yanbei man joins the Han army, then he will be able to see it. Just what Wei You heard and saw along the way, he saw no less than a hundred powerful men wearing the red clothes and armor of the Han army, but with yellow scarves tied on their foreheads.
This one can guess the composition of Yanbei's army at a glance, and even Yanbei's origin is suspicious.
It is rumored in the township that Yanbei was originally the team leader of Zhongshan State, and later became a military marquis, and in the year of Zhang Chun's rebellion, the soldiers and horses suddenly expanded significantly, and he became the general of Zhennan who now sits in Handan and looks at the Yellow River to control more than 10,000 soldiers and horses.
But in the final analysis, if a person does not have a Yellow Turban background, how can he get so many Yellow Turban remnants to work?
To put it bluntly, don't say that Yanbei has a big plan, and if he goes to Youzhou with tens of thousands of troops, he can suddenly become a powerful figure who is stronger than the governor Sun Zhan, what will Liu Yu do to control him at that time?
"This ......"
Yan Bei looked at Wei You looking at Sun Qing, who was wearing a yellow scarf on his head next to him, his eyes flickered, and he knew what he was thinking, waved his hand and said: "Mr. Wei's expectations are not bad, there are many yellow turban veterans under Yan, but more of them are the children of good families recruited on the spot when they attacked all the way south, not to mention, even if they are yellow turban veterans, they are tired...... The days of fighting with General Tiangong are gone, and when Huang Tian dies, no one can treat them as their own, and I can tolerate them, so they are now standing under the banner of Yanzi to fight for me. ”
"You don't have to tell me anything about filial piety, such a rebel army doesn't know what loyalty and filial piety is, if Liu Gong believes me, I will fight for Liu Gong...... If Liu Gong doesn't believe me, don't mention it. ”
Although Yan Bei said so, he still deliberately wanted to hide the disgraceful experience when he was a yellow scarf, and portrayed himself as a charming general who could accommodate the rest of the Yellow Turban in his belly.
Just because there are people in the army who are wearing yellow scarves, they have already made this Youzhou engaged in this appearance like this, if people know that he Yanbei has also charged into battle for General Tiangong in the past, then there is no need to mention this surrender.
Wei You didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to write back to Youzhou to ask Liu Yu under the pretext that he still needed to write back to Youzhou, but Yanbei didn't say much, so he got up and pulled Wei You out of the general's mansion with a smile.
"There are a lot of people in the mansion, and there are some things that Yan can't explain to Brother Wei, so please don't blame him." Yan Bei walked out of the mansion and no one followed, smiled and led the way, and said to Wei You: "There is a cong platform in Handan City, which was built by King Zhao Wuling during the Warring States Period, Brother Wei is willing to follow Yan Mouguan?" ”
Wei You naturally had nothing to say, although he couldn't figure out what medicine was sold in Yanbei gourd for the time being, he still smiled and complimented as he walked: "Along the way, I passed through many rebel cities, and only when I went to the second county under General Yan could I see the smiles of the people from the heart, which shows that General Yan's talent is enough to rank among the rebels!" ”
"I'm afraid this rebel crown can't be called a compliment." Yan Bei walked, but he was disdainful of this praise in words, and ridiculed: "Zhang Gong has no capable people, and the people he relies on are only the Wuhuan Cliff King and others, the Wuhuan people have ghosts and are not of our race, and they rob the people of the Han family, and the Wuhuan people are crushed at the touch of the soldiers of Shangyan when they are in Zhongshan Kingdom, and the five hundred Wuhuan riders who are extremely ferocious to the people on weekdays like evil ghosts are disarmed at the touch of a button...... Although Yan is a large number of people, he can also defeat his 100,000! ”
Wei You was complimented by Yanbei's words, but he didn't approve of it in his heart, and he also knew that Yanbei said that the five hundred Wuhuan horses were disarmed, and it was said that on that day, three thousand soldiers and horses under Yanbei's command came out to besiege five hundred Wuhuan, and the Wuhuan people were all disarmed, but if they were 10,000 against 100,000...... I'm afraid that if I bite with my teeth, Yanbei will be gnawed to the ground.
Wei Yu laughed in his heart, this Yan Bei is young and vigorous, and he doesn't blush at all when he talks big.
At the same time, he also knew in his heart that this rebel army was not an iron plate, the largest Han force in the rebel army was Yanbei, and Yanbei was gnashing his teeth at the Wuhuan people, but he was afraid that even if there was no messenger sent by Liu Gong, it would not take long for these rebels to fall apart due to internal contradictions.
Walking and walking, Congtai, it is not far away.
