Chapter 69: Heavenly Machines (4)

Fan Shen also ordered someone to ask the monarch Sun Hao, after all, he also had to respect Sun Hao, although he was the governor of the left capital, he had the right to act cheaply, but if he was too reckless, it was also the way to die.

Fan Shen's capital was not far from the national capital, but he received the edict of the lord overnight, and after receiving Fan Shen's message, Sun Hao decided to attack in three directions, capture Guangling County, Jiangxia County, and Xiangyang County of Wei, and move the battle line north.

But such a strategy made Fan Shen feel very tricky, you must know that with the momentum of the Wei State, the Wu State is taking advantage of this opportunity to fight, and it is difficult to fight all the way, let alone the three roads.

But since he has already reached heaven to listen, and the lord of the country has also issued an edict, Fan Shen can only listen to it.

Fan Shen was a vigorous and resolute person, the next day, he sent 20,000 troops, 15,000 steps, 3,000 horses, set off from Wuchang, arrived at the Jiangxia area occupied by Wu State on the same day, rested a little at night, the next day, went upstream, and kept rushing, reached Nanjun, settled in Maicheng, which is already the border between Wei and Wu.

Fan Shen's goal along the way is Xiangyang County, this is the most important thing, if Xiangyang County is taken away by the Han State, it is even more terrible than maintaining the status quo, if the Han State captures Xiangyang County, then the relationship between the Han and Wu countries, this ally, may end here.

It was night, inside and outside the city, there were not so many houses for soldiers to live in, so they camped in the city, and under the night sky, the light of red bonfires could be seen everywhere.

At this moment, the silence of the night was broken by the sound of horses' hooves: "I have urgent information to see the governor!" ”

Almost at the same time, the yamen in the city was silent, and the general walked slowly along the corridor, his eyes alert to patrol the surroundings.

At first glance, the county government office, which seemed to be empty, saw that among the shades and flowers of the trees, there were well-dressed and vigilant attendants, who saw him coming and saluted him.

Just then, the neighing of a horse was heard from nowhere.

Closer inside, Fan Shen sat at the table in front of the window, thinking silently, and at this moment, a report broke the silence: "Governor, there is an urgent military situation!" ”

Fan Shen was taken aback and said, "Pass! ”

A cavalryman came in and knelt on the ground and saluted: "Governor, urgent military situation, Nanxiang County has fallen." ”

"What? Nanxiang County fell so easily? Fan Shen's face changed at this time, and he stood up, his movements were too violent, and he knocked over the documents and ink on the table.

"Yes, Sima Lun and Deng Ai have been recruited several times, there are few defenders in Nanxiang County, and the Han State ordered three thousand captives to face the Wailing Wall of Nanxiang County, the cry shook the whole city, the hearts of the people floated, even if they were killed, it was useless, and at night, there were wealthy families in the city who opened the door to offer the city."

"How is this a good ......" Fan Shen muttered at this time, at a loss, and finally fell on the pier, and it seemed that in an instant, he was ten years old.

In his prediction, it will take at least ten days to half a month for the Han State to attack Nanxiang County, and such a long time is enough for the Wei State to react and mobilize reinforcements from Nanyang County and Runan County to help, then the Han State can only withdraw its troops.

If Wei reacted a little slowly, he could take advantage of the entanglement between Han and Wei to capture Xiangyang County, but now it has only been two days, and he has not yet arrived in Xiangyang County, and Nanxiang County has already been taken by Han.

This is not fifty years ago, when the people thought about the Han, there was the Hanguan general who shook China, and the Han Liezu rode the Central Plains, how could the Wei State be so weak now?

"Order, all the armies stop resting, follow me north, and besiege Xiangyang County of Wei State."

At this time, Sun Yan, who received the news, came close and asked, "Governor, is this too urgent!" ”

Fan Shen shook his head at this time and said, "It's not that I'm in a hurry, but that time is not waiting for me; King Liang, I ask you to send an envoy to the Han Kingdom, and say that our country sees the Han State attacking Wei, and intends to unite the Wei Dynasty and set up a three-way army to go on a northern expedition, which will definitely help the Han State. ”

When Sun Yan heard this, he was puzzled at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he was overjoyed and said: "The governor has a good plan, I will go to the Han Kingdom......"

……

A few days have passed since the occupation of the three eastern counties, and during this period of time, the chaotic situation has gradually calmed down.

Most of the people in the three eastern counties basically had no intention of escaping after the defeat and evacuation of the old master.

The three eastern counties are the frontline places, and the people of the three counties also know that the rebellion is extremely terrible, such as the victor's soldiers, often acting recklessly in the captured places, but few lords will restrain them.

After Yang Yi occupied the three eastern counties, he immediately issued an order to prohibit soldiers from disturbing the people, promulgating laws, and violators were killed without mercy.

Some generals raised objections, saying that this order would lead to discouragement of the army, and as soon as they put it forward, they were severely reprimanded by Yang Yi.

Yang Yiyanyun: Water can carry boats, but it can also overturn boats, the people are like water, and the army is like boats.

As soon as these words came out, they immediately spread among the civil and military officials and spread all over the world.

There are those who are disdainful, and there are those who are surprised.

A few soldiers flouted the decree and secretly committed some adultery and plunder, and were soon arrested by the patrol team and immediately killed in public.

Their bloody heads hung high from poles for the people to see.

This move is very popular.

Since then, the people here believe that the Han State occupies the three eastern counties, and the country that really pursues the policy of benevolence and righteousness, there are the older generation, at this time, they tell how merciful the ancestors of the Han Dynasty were, how to win the admiration of all the people, and the hearts of the people of the three eastern counties were slightly settled for a while.

Many landlords and wealthy families who had fled to the mountains also returned one after another after quietly observing the situation.

After all, where there is a glimmer of life, who wants to leave their homeland?

So far, in just a few days, the situation in the three eastern counties has quickly returned to normal.

Except for the occasional dilapidated scene on the street, which has not yet been completely restored, the increasingly lively street is already pregnant with new vitality.

At this time, Yang Yi had already brought the new officials of the three counties into the three counties, and ordered a banquet.

For the banquet set up by the king, of course, he can come, and they are all here, but it will take a while to set up a banquet, Yang Yi took a look, and saw that at the banquet, there were already people preparing, and many familiar faces were chatting, and their hearts were even more happy.

When the banquet began, Yang Yi stood up and raised his glass to persuade wine.

The king set up a banquet to entertain the ministers and generals, which was already a grace, and he personally toasted, which was even more grace, and everyone immediately got up and saw the bottom of a glass.

At this moment, Zhang Muzhi came over, he was the commander of the imperial guards, responsible for the external guards, and he couldn't have a banquet.

"What, it's done?" Yang Yi said.

"Yes, it has been given death." Zhang Muzhi's voice was a little low, but the person who said it was Sima Lun.

It was not killed by Zhang Muzhi, but killed by Shen Du, Yang Yi moved to the original Wei State Anling County Shou Shen Du as the Shangyong County Shou, the Shen family is a big clan in the three eastern counties, and it cannot be killed if it is killed, but it must be used, and Yang Yi is also afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past.

happened to capture Sima Lun, who couldn't escape, so he let Shen Du kill him, which is better than Cao Wei's clan, Cao Wei's clan is now killed, Sima's family has been killing again, and Cao Wei's own people are also killed.

However, as a royal family, this number of people is endless, and there will only be more and more.

And the Sima family is not rich, and Sima Lun is also very important, and killing him is definitely an enmity.

If the Shen family wants to take refuge in the Wei State, then the Sima family will kill their entire family sooner or later, and this vote can be done.

"Hey, Sima Lun is under Jiuquan, and he also knows that this is necessary, Wei has ruled the three eastern counties for decades, and there must be a lot of diehards, if he doesn't die, it will be difficult to do it in the future!" Yang Yi said slowly: "By the way, Muzhi, what do you think of Xiangyang County?" ”

"Your Majesty, I think it's very appropriate to only take Nanxiang County."

"What about Xiangyang County?"

"Xiangyang County lost Nanxiang County, it is not a threat to our army, if Wu State gains it, but it is to share the pressure for our country, if Wu State does not gain it, but it is not hindered."

Yang Yi nodded, although the battle on the Eastern Front seemed to have brilliant results, but now the Eastern Front is facing the core area of the Wei State, and it is difficult to go any further!

What's more, it's not fifty years ago, and there are too few people in the world who think about Han, and now the plan is still in accordance with the plan of the prime minister back then, first dominate Longyou, but this strategy Yang Yi has not leaked.

After the banquet, Yang Yi left a few ministers and a few generals, "Guan Yi, I mean that you are General Anton, in charge of the military affairs of the three eastern counties and Nanxiang counties, which will face the pressure of the Wei State, you can do it." ”

Guan Yi hesitated slightly, but immediately said: "The last general will obey the order and will live up to His Majesty's expectations." ”

Since he got the martial soul of his ancestors, Guan Yi is also energetic, although now he has proved that the tiger father has no dogs, but compared to the old ancestors' warm wine to kill Huaxiong, behead Yan Liang and Wen Chou, pass five passes and kill six generals, flood the Seventh Army, and shock Huaxia, but it is still far behind.

And he does not have the friendship with His Majesty today like his grandfather and Liezu, but he still has to obey the edict, although he knows that the future battles on the Western Front will get more military achievements.

"Quyuan, now the three counties have it, but the people are still in fashion and ignorant, Lone appointed you as the squire of the Ministry of Rites, and the governor of Liangzhou is a scholar and politician, so that the people of the three counties know my hand."

"Commandment."

“……”

Simply appointed the official offices of the three eastern counties, such as Li Mu, the former governor of Shangyong County, who still received the original position, after all, in this battle, his merits were not obvious, and they were all covered by Guan Yi, Luo Shang and others.

secondly, Li Qi was transferred to Luo Shang, the general of Huqiang Zhonglang, as a lieutenant; Li Liu was transferred to Ning Yi, the lieutenant of Tuntian, as the deputy lieutenant of Tuntian, and the military lords were all sixth-rank officers.

The Li family, in this battle, got a lot of benefits on the surface, on the surface, the king is so generous to the courtiers, the Li family should be grateful.

It's just that in the end, in this battle, it was Yang Yi, who was the lord of the country, who benefited the most.

not only gained popularity, but also weakened most of the powerful forces in places such as the Li family, and also expanded its own strength to achieve the goal of encroachment step by step.

This made the Li family extremely depressed, but they could only secretly swallow this dumb loss.

"Father, are you looking for me?" On this day, Li Xuanxiu changed his clothes, and a servant looked for him and told him that Li Mu wanted to see him, so he came to his father's study in Shangyong County, and bowed to his father Li Mu with a respectful attitude, and then asked.

Now he drove to Shangyong County, and only then did he get the opportunity to meet his father.

Seeing that his beloved son had arrived, Li Mu put down the scroll in his hand and motioned for Li Xuanxiu to sit down, and after seeing Li Xuanxiu do so, he said: "Xuanxiu, you and I have not seen each other for many days. ”

Li Xuanxiu said respectfully: "Father, please speak." ”

Li Mu's eyes fell on his beloved son, and he sighed, his gaze became much deeper.

"What do you think about this campaign?"

Li Xuanxiu was slightly stunned, looked at his father, thought for a while, and said: "Back to my father, my son thinks that in this battle, if my Li family gets one, and the heavenly family gets ten." ”

"Oh? Let's talk about it. Li Mu's expression on his face remained unchanged, and he only motioned for him to continue.

"Yes, father." Li Xuanxiu nodded at his father and continued: "My father got the captain of Shangyong, and he was in charge of two battalions, and his strength increased instead of decreasing, but my family died a lot of old subordinates, which had to take a year or two to replenish, but I finally had an army of 1,000 people;

Li Liu and Li Qi are each deputy generals, and they can also be in charge of a battalion of troops, and they are also an army of a thousand people, and my family is actually in charge of two thousand troops, which can be regarded as one of them.

In comparison, compared with the income of the Heavenly Family, the land of the three eastern counties, plus a Nanxiang County, has at least tens of thousands of people, and the army also has thousands, which can be compared with our income.

Now I look at the Han lord this person, now it seems, by no means ordinary people can be compared, there is really some scheming, through this matter, not only to show its benevolence, righteousness and generosity in the name of the outside world, but to my Li family, but also called appeasement, in fact, to cut power, although my Li family is in charge of the army has increased, but it is included in the system, up and down also have their own order, the internal control is gradually reduced, and the Han lord has now actually ruled the land of the two states, it is really the world to be vigilant. ”

Li Mu nodded, stood up suddenly, walked to the window, pushed open the window, and looked outside: "Xuan Xiu, what you said is good, Your Majesty is capable, and he is really talented." ”

Li Mu turned his head, locked his eyes on his son again, and sighed: "All along, I only said that only my family has a Qilin'er, but now that I think about it, I look down on the heroes of the world."

How many people can there be in this world? Can you and I see through it for a while? The lord of Han is actually a woman, and by chance, she ascended to this supreme position, thinking that she was only relying on luck, but now it seems that she really has some ability. ”

Hearing his father praise the Lord of Han, for some reason, Li Xuanxiu's mind suddenly flashed over that person.

He has no good impression of Yang Yi, he praises the people around him, he has become famous since he was a child, Li Xuanxiu himself does have talent, temperament, appearance, family background, and is better than his peers everywhere.

I still remember before, the senior brother once said that although he has the potential of a hidden dragon, as a hidden dragon, he will be able to reach the sky in the future, and there will always be a time to live on people.

Then it is only a matter of rights and interests to be subordinated to others at the moment.

It's just that at this time, even his father praised the Han lord, but Li Xuanxiu's mood suddenly fluctuated, and his father said this, did he think that he was really not as good as that mere woman?

Li Xuanxiu lowered his eyes slightly, and Fang said: "What my father said is very true, the Han master's ability is indeed not to be underestimated, but the Li family has not had a chance to turn over.

You must know that the Han lord once had a poem: ****, when it encounters a storm, it will turn into a dragon, and the foundation of our clan will be destroyed, but at the same time, the power of my family has also completely withdrawn from the Qiang system, and now it is integrated into the Han system, and there is no opportunity for development. ”

At this time, Li Mu glanced at his son: "Xuan Xiu, now, it depends on how the Han Lord chooses, if he goes in a hurry, this is the wrong way, maybe there is still a chance, you must be cautious in your words and deeds at this critical moment, and you can't let the Han Lord seize the handle." ”

"My son understands." Li Xuanxiu hurriedly stood up and lowered his head and said solemnly.

Yang Yi inspected the three eastern counties for ten days, summoned the three local elders, appeased them, uprooted the local bullies, and divided their land among the people; During this period, Guan Yi led the army into Nanxiang County and easily captured it, and the army made a trend of going east, and the world shook!
