Chapter 259: Weeping (I)
In Liangzhou and Yanmen County, heavy snow was sprinkled on the ground, and thousands of miles of snow were covered, and the cold feeling became more and more intense
On the streets, pedestrians are in a hurry, and even if someone goes out, they speed up the law.
Even the people sitting in the carriage couldn't help but hold their hands warmer and experience the cold of winter.
Tian Wang, the guard general of Yanmen County, was sent by Guo Wentong to guard the city here, although this person is not a famous general, but he is cautious, and he has been appointed by Guo Wentong, so he will be sent here to garrison at this time.
At this time, Tian Wang was eating in the general's mansion, the room was very quiet, there were several maids serving, although it was not a big family background, but after becoming a general, it was a little majestic, when he was eating, unless it was a major matter, he should not be disturbed.
was slowly eating his meal, when he suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and after a while, someone asked to see him outside.
Tian Wangma looked unworried, and said lightly: "Come in." ”
The person who walked in outside the door was a subordinate general under Tian Wang's account, and it was this person who was on duty today.
Seeing that this person's face was ugly, Tian Wang didn't have much to do, and asked directly: "What's wrong, so urgent?"
"General, I just got the news that the Hu army raided the frontier and lost Yanqi County, so please make a quick calculation!"
"What?" Hearing this, Tian Wang immediately stood up, and the table in front of him was knocked down, and the dishes collided, making people more and more upset.
"Let's stand down first!" Glancing at the maids with cold eyes, the women hurriedly stepped back.
"Get the information you have obtained, come out!" Tian Wang got up and took a few steps, stepped on the ground and made several noises before he stopped and looked at the person in front of him.
"Yes, according to His Royal Highness Balu, who was the Hu people, led 10,000 troops to raid Yanqi County, and according to some people at that time, they took this county. ”
"It was only after the long march that the horses and soldiers were exhausted and did not act immediately after taking the county, that we were given time to report and react. ”
"At present, the Hu army has obtained the official warehouse and fed the horses with grain, in order to quickly recover the horses, even if there is no fight this year, there will be a big war next spring. ”
Horses eat grass and grow unhappily, but if they are open to eating grain, each horse has a stone every month, and they can be strong and strong, this is a personal ration, it is too wasteful, and it is generally not a good thing, but as a Hu person, he doesn't care about this.
After listening to the report, Tian Wang's face became ugly.
I had already heard about the invasion of the Hu people, and I thought that the time was irrelevant, but I didn't expect that the Hu army would pass through a large grassland and arrive in Liangzhou so quickly!
Tian Wang pondered for a moment, and immediately sent an order: "Pass my order, immediately pass this news to the counties, and quickly report to the king and ask for help from Guanzhong." ”
Chang'an'an is the imperial capital of thousands of years, located in the Guanzhong Plain of "Eight Hundred Miles of Qinchuan", the south is the Qinling Mountains, becoming a natural barrier in the south, and the Yaoshan Mountain, Huanglong Mountain, and Beishan Mountains in the north, and the Qinling Mountains insist on each other.
In the middle is a large fertile plain, and the eight rivers are like the blood of the Dao, bringing life.
This was the foundation of the emperor, but with the deforestation and the formation of the Yellow River, the Guanzhong piece was broken, and the ancients did not understand this matter, thinking that the feng shui had been transferred to the south.
But even so, Chang'an is still a magnificent city, consisting of Guocheng, the imperial city, and the palace city.
After several years of cultivation, it is the capital of Qin, the cold weather, does not affect the prosperity of Chang'an, the street is not as good as the hub shoulder rubbing, but it is also a pedestrian such as a carp, with a bit of royal spirit.
There is a gate in the imperial palace of the imperial city, which is full of official offices and guards.
These guards are all tigers and bears, and they are cold and fierce.
However, at this time, Guo Wentong was not in the main hall, there was a garden in the north area, and there was a fine house in it, and the inner hall was where he was at this time.
Guo Wentong was sitting and drinking tea, fighting and marching from a distance, and he had only returned to Chang'an for a few days, and his expression was still a little tired, but his eyes were bright and sharp, and the whole person exuded a kind of majesty.
The left and right were accompanied by Guo Wentong's ministers, and when he returned to Guanzhong, the king of Qin summoned several confidant ministers to discuss when to attack Luoyang City.
This map and internal response made Guo Wentong impatient, and this may be the only chance to usurp the world.
Several ministers around King Qin were a little hesitant about this.
"Your Majesty, this matter still needs to be cautious, Luoyang is a very good place, Zheng Guogong Liu Man has been in Luoyang for two and a half years, and his influence has extended to Chongzhou, it can also be called a strong army, our army is very tired of conquering Liangzhou, I am afraid that attacking Luoyang is still a bit far-fetched!"
A few years ago, Yong Liu Man of Luoyang County suddenly instigated a rebellion, killed 10,000 people, usurped the entire Luoyang City, and began to establish himself Zheng Guogong, raising 100,000 troops.
However, at that time, it was the beginning of the establishment, even the old and weak auxiliary soldiers were counted, known as 100,000, which was very watery, and after stabilization, the old and weak were gradually eliminated and trained into an army, and now there are 10,000 soldiers.
Although the scale has been reduced by half, the strength has more than doubled.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I don't know whether this map and list are true or false, if the annotations are wrong, wouldn't our army use this map to outweigh the losses?
"Hey, you guys are too careful, even if you don't have this map, sooner or later you will attack Luoyang, and with this map it will be like a tiger with wings.
Although our army is tired, it is enough to have February repairs. Guo Wentong's voice lowered a little: "Since you are almost ready, get rid of it early, so as not to let others take the lead, and if you don't take it, you will be blamed." ”
This Luoyang is the only chance for the King of Qin, hearing Guo Wentong's words, several ministers were silent, it is simply this road, but the strength and preparation are insufficient, and they will send troops suddenly, and they will not be able to attack again, I am afraid that it will be worse.
"Your Majesty, Luoyang wants to fight, but Liangzhou is not as good as the lost arm, and the ministers have a few strategies, please ask the king to judge. "The person is in the queue, Guo Wentong looks, this person is wearing a beige official robe, about forty years old, and it is his adviser Gao Fengtai.
Guo Wentong coughed, "Mr. Gao, please." ”
Gao Fengtai arched his hand and said lightly: "Lianggang has just been pacified, in Liangzhou, our army has lost a lot of soldiers, and there are many remnants that have not been cleaned up, and the people's hearts have not been soothed, so it is better to send people to open a warehouse and release grain now, and transport grain to comfort the people." ”
"He also recruited warriors with money, and invited Liangzhou Hu to send troops to go to the hidden danger of loss, and the second also increased the military strength, and then attacked Luoyang, so that they could go up.
The Liangzhou Hubu and the grassland are not branches, and there are more than a dozen tribes.
"As for the Hu soldiers who originally followed our army, they can let their hundred-man team, in the name of Hu Khan, go to Luoyang to make some troubles, so that the people of Luoyang are in a trance, thinking that the Hu people in the north have gone south, so that Luoyang will focus on the north, if Luoyang is in chaos, just take the opportunity to send troops, and then there will be internal and external troubles, wouldn't Luoyang City be easier to take?"
Originally, Guo Wentong obtained the city map and was in a hurry to capture Luoyang, but when he heard this, his mind immediately cleared up, and he thought calmly, and couldn't help but feel ashamed of his mood.
When I get older, I can't hold back when I encounter some opportunities.
"Just do as you say!" Guo Wentong is a cheerful person, and as soon as he realized that what he had done was wrong, he immediately changed it.
Several ministers were also quite relieved to see this, and made up for it one after another.
"Your Majesty, if you don't have enough food, you can buy it from the State of Chu. ”
"Every time Chu buys, is Chu Guo willing?" Guo Wentong was a little suspicious.
"Your Majesty, the State of Chu has concentrated its forces on attacking Xuzhou, and now that the horse breeding land in Liangzhou has been obtained by us, there is a shortage of horses, and horses are exchanged for food, presumably the King of Chu will give permission. ”
After listening to the words, Guo Wentong looked up slightly into the distance, pondered for a moment, and smiled: "You can try." ”
At this meeting, the next step to attack Luoyang has been finalized, but more preparations need to be made, and the spring flowers will bloom in the coming year, which is the time to send troops.
And so the meeting ended.
The ministers were thinking about retreating, and at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps.
Guo Wentong was stunned, and he didn't know what kind of premonition he had, and his face became gloomy.
At this time, a civil official shouted "report"!
Guo Wentong said: "Come in!"
As soon as the words fell, an eight-grade civil official came in, and the speed was very hurried.
"It's an official of the imperial court! What kind of system is it like this!" Seeing that Guo Wentong's face was not good, the minister reprimanded this civil official.
The civil official stood awkwardly and replied, "Yes, my lord, the official is in trouble...... , but there is 100,000 urgent information from Liangzhou, Hu Renwan, invaded Liangzhou, Yanqi County was lost, and Tian Wang, the guard general of Yanmen County, has raised troops to guard and report to the king and ask for help!"
When Guo Wentong heard this, he only felt pain in his heart, and there was a smell of blood about to come out, so he stood up: "What?"
With these two words, my head was dizzy and I almost fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Several ministers around him were immediately shocked, and hurriedly helped him up, Guo Wentong sat on the table, waved his hand, and said: "It's okay to be alone, you can rest assured." ”
After a moment, Guo Wentong came to his senses, but his face was pale, and his voice was a little choked.
"My Guo family is the military gate, Lone succeeded to the throne, I want to dominate the world, mix the metaverse, and fight for it, but luck is always difficult, only to get half of the Guanzhong, there is Shu Ditong, Tongguanzhong, the south was pacified, capture Liangzhou, I wanted to take advantage of this to capture Luoyang, but there is a Hu invasion - Lone's life, how can it be so bitter!"
Then, two lines of tears burst out of his eyes and fell: "Last time Wang Hongyi seized the land of Shu, Lone only had a few counties, why didn't he take the opportunity to take Guanzhong, Lone Zhi is strange, now I think about it, it is really God favors him, if he takes Guanzhong Liangzhou, now he is on top." ”
‘“…… Now Wang Hongyi is in charge of the south, invincible on his back, and he has a large army to attack Xuzhou freely, and he can't resist it...... , is it impossible to open the way for the true king?"
Seeing that Guo Wentong was overwhelmed with grief, all the ministers wept.
Simply, this time Liangzhou was defeated, and he wanted to usurp Luoyang, which was the only opportunity to usurp the world, but now that the Hu people invaded, this hope was almost all shattered.
Think about it again, the Guo family is a military family, all of them are diligent in military and political affairs, especially Guo Wentong, who has great ambitions, and only sleeps after getting up and sleeping on three shifts every day, but luck is always bad, everything is not going well, and this time he is even seeing a wedding dress...... , I felt sorry for him, but I couldn't comfort him, so I had to be silent.
Guo Wentong cried for a while, his mind calmed down, his face was gloomy, but he received the sadness, and gave an order violently: "Tomorrow the court will discuss the matter of Liangzhou." ”
There was a slight tremble in the sonorous tone, and everyone was pitiful, and they all left their seats and bowed their heads and kowtowed: "Yes!" @
