Chapter 480 The Hu people surrendered, and the power of the Northern King increased greatly1

The first stop of the emperor's southern tour, Hangzhou, has beautiful scenery and a long history, so the emperor stayed in place for nearly a month before starting to set off for the next stop. Because of the previous example, Su Jianyu was not in a hurry to get on the road, but took a group of ministers to pay a private visit.

The emperor is playing in the southeast, at this time, the north has fallen into chaos, although the king of the north has been blocking the news, but what should be known has reached the ears of various forces. The Hu generals led an army of 200,000 and attacked the nest, and the king of the north took defensive measures, and the court pretended to be confused, as if they didn't know about it.

"The imperial court wants to use the hands of the Hu people to weaken the power of the Northern King." On this day, Lin Xun and Chun Ge did not follow Su Jianyu out, they found a teahouse, looking at the scenery, but in fact, they were thinking about the situation in the north.

"The civil war in the Soviet Union is stopping, and it is the time of weakness, although the power of the Northern King is strong, it is difficult to defeat four hands with two fists." It's not that Chun Ge doesn't believe in the strength of the North King, it's just that the Hu people actually poured all their troops and horses, and it was clear that they were going to sit on their backs to prepare for a battle, and under such an offensive, it was difficult for the North King to be sure of victory.

"You borrowed food and pay for the prince half a month ago, I don't know if he went back." Chunge had mentioned to Lin Xun about Su Youren's borrowing of grain before, and he thought that after half a month, he should have returned to the north.

"I don't know if the prince will return to the house, but the king of the north will fight in person, which is obvious to all." In Chunge's sources, there is no such thing as Su Youren leading the troops, but the king of the north, who has not appeared for a long time, personally appeared.

"When the king of the north was young, he was known for his bravery, known as the first general of the Soviet Union, and he has always only attacked but not defended." Lin Xun had also heard the myth of the Northern King, if this person had worked hard since he was young, the position in the main hall would not be known.

"Today's king of the north is only defending and not attacking." A person's fighting style will not change for no reason, just like the king of the north, the territory of the king of the north is quite large, and it is time-consuming for the Hu people to attack. But there is one point that Chun Ge did not ignore, there is one near the Beiwangfu, and the ancient road goes straight to Jingshi, although no one has walked it for more than a hundred years. But that doesn't mean the channel doesn't exist.

"You are worried that the Hu people will attack the north for the sake of Jingshi." Lin Xun had traveled through that ancient road, although it was narrow, but it was unimpeded.

"This is one point, now that the emperor is not moving, he obviously wants the Northern King to resist the attack of the Hu people and weaken his strength." Chun Ge wanted to speak several times, but was always stopped by Su Youjun.

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid, he provoked the king of the north, and people bit back." The Hu people are brave and good at fighting, but they are brutal and unkind. If they really attack the capital, it will only be the people who will suffer.

"Are you saying that the king of the north let the Hu people enter Beijing and reap the benefits of the fishermen." This is very likely, the current Su Jianyu is playing in the southeast, and if the king of the north introduces the Hu people into the capital at this time. That was Su Jianyu's fault, when the king of the north was leading his troops to exterminate the Hu people, he raised his arms and shouted for Su Jianyu to abdicate, everything was reasonable.

"Such a good opportunity, such a temptation, how can you let it go." Chunge also guessed the mind of the king of the north, even if it was to save others. Chunge also felt that this was a business that did not lose money.

"If this is the case, the son of the world will not borrow grain." Lin Xun didn't have much intersection with the North King, but for some reason he felt that the North King was not that kind of person.

"You think, the king of the north has a heavy army, and if he really ignores the people, he can start a war. Instead of waiting for an opportunity, it can be seen that the king of the north is not a brutal person. "With the ability of the king of the north, it is not difficult to seek the throne because of his own selfish desires, why do you want to keep Taoguang obscure for so many years. It's not faster to go straight to the army. The only reason is that he is waiting, waiting for Su Jianyu to make a mistake and thus inherit the throne justifiably. A person who aspires to be upright will never regard the lives of tens of thousands of people as child's play and let himself be stigmatized in history.

Listening to Lin Xun's analysis, Chun Ge nodded unconsciously, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's that I care about it." ”

"I also find it strange that there is such a big chaos in the north, why can he be so indifferent, or that everything is under his control." In Lin Xun's mouth, he is naturally the king of a country, Su Jianyu, and even Lin Xun and Chun Ge began to worry, but this person should still eat and drink, as if the world was peaceful.

"Maybe he believes in the ability of the Northern King, after all, he has never tasted defeat in his life." Chun Ge is thousands of miles away, no matter how nervous he is, it is useless, and now he can only pin his hopes on the North King.

"Maybe." Lin Xun drank the cold tea and looked north from the window.

After more than ten days, the peace was finally broken by an incident.

Eight hundred li was urgent, and the king of the north led his army to retreat to Songcheng.

To put it bluntly, the king of the north gave his territory to the Hu people, and hindered the army that came to support the border city. Those with discerning eyes understand that this is the treason of the king of the north.

Finally, Su Jianyu couldn't sit still, and convened the ministers to discuss countermeasures.

At the meeting, Lin Xiang, Su Youjun, and Su Youqi said one after another, but Chunge had just learned the news that the Northern King was actually stationed in Songcheng, didn't it make it clear that he was making trouble with Chunge. Songcheng is Chunge's territory, with the full support of Chunge, it is finally lively, and the king of the north makes such a fuss, Songcheng has at least regressed for five or six years.

"Father, emperor, son, and minister, please go to war." Su Youqi is a general, the king of Dingshan, and a veteran of the north, and he has deep feelings for the north, and he can't sit still at this moment.

"Okay." Su Jianyu didn't stop him, he must have been mad by the actions of the North King.

"The emperor thinks twice, and the prince thinks twice." Chun Ge bent down and admonished: "Although the prince is a northern general, but after returning to Beijing, the military power has already been handed over to the military department, and the old department of the prince is in the border city, which happened to be blocked by Songcheng, but I am afraid that the soldiers and horses gathered in a hurry will not cooperate properly, not only can not stop the Hu people, but also have more dangers." ”

Chun Ge's words are very objective, even if he Su Youqi is a general, but what can a commander with a light pole do, it is too little to be cannon fodder.

"According to Aiqing's opinion, let the Hu people go straight in." Su saw that Yu's face was not good, and he looked at Chun Ge coldly.

"Naturally, not." Chun Ge took a deep breath and said: "The prince has been staying in Beijing all these years, and the general Qin of the prince's old department has returned to Beijing, so the one who wants to come to the prince and the capital must have a tacit understanding." ”

"Yes." Su You responded.

"The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, invincible in a hundred battles, rather than letting the prince lead troops to support, it is better to let the prince return to defend the capital." A cold sweat appeared on Chunge's forehead.

"What the minister said about the minister." Lin Xun stood beside Chun Ge and silently gave him strength.

"The prince returned to Beijing, one is to hold the last line of defense, and the other is to take advantage of the fact that the Hu people have not yet arrived in Beijing to train soldiers and horses, if there is really a day when the Hu soldiers come to the city, then let them have no return." Su Jianyu traveled to the south and took away the big officials who could be the masters in the capital, and now there is only one big official in the capital, Gao Qingshi, who can be the master, so you can imagine how panicked that person is now. At that time, let Su Youqi go back, with Su Youqi's identity, Wang Yejia general, there is nothing more stable than this. Lin Xun calmly looked ahead of him, he was selfless in the face of national disasters.

"Yes, Qi'er, you will go back to Beijing first, be sure to prepare." Su Jianyu pondered for a moment, and took a jade pendant that he was close to Su Youqi, Chun Ge remembered that the jade pendant seemed to be able to mobilize all the soldiers and horses in the capital, and had the power to cut first and then play.

"The son will live up to his father's trust." Su Youqi squeezed the jade pendant in his hand, took a deep look at Chunge, and left without looking back.

Apologies, Chun Ge saw the apology in Su Youqi's eyes, Chun Ge didn't understand, and the current situation didn't allow him to think deeply.

"Your Majesty, the capital is not a safe place now, please move the emperor to the southern city." This kind of thing, there is no need for Chun Ge to say it, and Su Jianyu will not leave, but if Chun Ge opens his mouth, he will give Su Jianyu a good step.

"No, as the king of a country, how can I abandon the people." Su Jianyu refused without hesitation, but the sincerity of this so-called refusal remains to be considered.

"Your Majesty, there is a waterway in the south of the city, and you can reach the capital in five days at the earliest, which is a good place to retreat, and it is precisely because you are the king of a country that you should be in a safe place and strategize." Chun Ge made a prostrate posture and implored Su Jianyu to move to the southern city.

Chun Ge said so, and the officials present also followed Chun Ge's request to prostrate on the ground, this time it was not that Su Jianyu was greedy for life and afraid of death, it was 'the will of the people', so Su Jianyu immediately agreed.

The emperor's itinerary was set, and the big guys didn't play anymore, so they stayed in the carriage as if they were fleeing, and went straight to Nancheng, the Su family father and son were in one place, Lin Xiang and other officials were in one place, and Chun Ge and Lin Xun were in one place.

"Chunge, there is still no news from the son." In the past few days, Lin Xun and Chun Ge have exhausted their forces, just to investigate a prince of the Northern Prince, but unfortunately they have found nothing.

"I have a guess." Chun Ge took out a topographic map from his bosom, spread it on his knees, and said: "If I am the king of the north, facing the menacing Hu people, it is definitely the next strategy to face the enemy head-on. ”

"It's a good idea to lure the enemy deeper." Lin Xun's eyes flashed, and he said: "The advantage of the Hu people is that there are many soldiers, and we are outnumbered, so it is indeed not easy to attack rashly, but the weakness of the Hu people does not know the terrain. ”

"The king of the north has a thorough understanding of the north, but he is afraid that the Hu people will enter the territory of Yousu, and that is the turtle in the urn." In the years when Chunge was an official in Songcheng, he saw the military exercises of the North King from time to time, and in that place, Chun Ge dared to pack a ticket even if the North King was closed his eyes, he could walk around in a circle.

"The retreat of the Northern King made the Hu people take it lightly, and added the familiar terrain, the location is favorable, and the east wind will be far away?" Chunge pointed to one of the valleys on the map on his lap, breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled.
