Chapter 0319: First Smell of Xiliang
December 188.
Time spanned to December, and the New Year was not far away, and Chang'an under Peng Yu was even more prosperous, especially the people almost everyone was smiling and living and working in peace and contentment.
The weather is getting cooler and cooler, whether it is government affairs, military affairs, or business, they are mainly based on recuperation, and they should rest and rest after a busy year, so as to accumulate energy for the coming year.
In this case, almost everyone in Chang'an is singing and laughing in anticipation of the coming of the New Year.
It almost means that there is always something special about it.
Peng Yu is like this, not only his brows are tightly locked, his face is full of anger, and even a little murderous.
This is only because Peng Yu received two pieces of information from Xiliang in two months.
A piece of information was that a month ago, Shopkeeper Liu came to report that the business group that had gone to Wuwei from Chang'an had returned, but when he went, dozens of people came back, and only a few people remained.
Peng Yu immediately summoned the surviving businessman to ask the reason, it turned out that he was ambushed on the way, Peng Yu then remembered that he ordered him to go to Wuwei, but he didn't expect these people to go out of Chang'an alive, but died in Jincheng, Peng Yu was furious, and immediately led the army to the battle.
Fortunately, Xun Yu, Gu Yong, and Guo Jia are all there, and the analysis shows that they are afraid of Luoyang for sending troops privately on the expedition, second, it is difficult to do their best when the situation in Xiliang is unknown, third, they rush out of the army without the slightest preparation, and fourth, although there are many soldiers in Chang'an, they are all in Tuntian, and their combat effectiveness is very limited.
The three major think tanks persuaded Peng Yu at the same time, and only then did Peng Yu reluctantly persuade him.
Even so, Peng Yu still ordered Gu Yong to ask the Xiliang Taishou about the matter as the Taishou of Chang'an, not only that, but Peng Yu also sent a team of more than 1,000 people to Jincheng to investigate the situation on the spot under the banner of General Peng Yu, and the people of the Chang'an Business Group must not die in vain.
Everyone had no choice but to do it one by one.
But today, the second piece of information was transmitted to Peng Yu again, this time not only Peng Yu was angry, but Xu Huang, Lu Bu and other generals were also angry, it turned out that the soldiers sent by Peng Yu to Jincheng to investigate the situation were ambushed again, and the whole army was almost wiped out!
Peng Yu jumped like thunder, and he couldn't bear it and was about to attack Jincheng immediately, but was stopped by one person.
Now that Peng Yu's authority is growing, there are no one in Peng Yu's army who dares to easily block Peng Yu's military orders, but there is always one person in Chang'an who is extremely special.
He is naturally the old fox Jia Xu.
Jia Xu is very familiar with Xiliang, and took the initiative to say Peng Yu: "Xiliang is vast, and extremely desolate, and the people are fierce, since ancient times it is the most difficult place to conquer, the general wants to go to Xiliang, must be hit with a thunderous blow, and must not rush out to fight or even return in vain, otherwise it will be more difficult to pacify Xiliang in the future." ”
Jia Xu's words are reasonable, but it seems that there is something in the words, Peng Yu was just because the merchant group and the soldiers were killed in Xiliang for no reason, and raised troops to crusade against the thieves, while Jia Xu's meaning is the method of conquering Xiliang, the two seem to be similar at first glance, but after thinking about it, you can deeply understand the difference.
Of course, Jia Xu's words have other inside information, but Peng Yu is more confident in Jia Xu's old fox's strategy than Jia Xu himself, so Peng Yu saw that Jia Xu spoke out to dissuade him, thinking that this matter was too arbitrary, and he needed to think about it in the long run, so he temporarily suppressed the idea of going out immediately.
In fact, Jia Xu's words are fallacious, Jia Xu has always believed that Peng Yu has great ambitions, and raising hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Chang'an is the best proof, and Peng Yu's behavior of controlling grain prices in Chang'an makes Jia Xu feel that Peng Yu is ambitious.
Jia Xu carefully recalled and scrutinized Peng Yu's way of doing things over the years, and came to a conclusion that Peng Yu would have to rebel sooner or later!
In this case, when Jia Xu laid out the layout for Peng Yu, it was inevitable that he would bring various preparations for the rebellion in the future, and Xiliang was an important layout that Jia Xu made for Peng Yu.
Even Jia Xu thought that Peng Yu sent the merchant group and soldiers to Xiliang just to take the opportunity to make trouble, but Jia Xu's layout had not yet been completely completed, so he had to persuade Peng Yu to put the matter on hold for the time being.
Not mentioning Xiliang Jia Xu's layout for the time being, just talking about Peng Yu's anger, although he was persuaded by Jia Xu, Peng Yu was still a little difficult to let go.
Jia Xujin said, "With the prestige of the general, the banner of the general, was ambushed in Jincheng, which is enough to show that Xiliang is by no means peaceful, and there are many warlords in Xiliang, and it is common for them to go to war with each other. ”
Jia Xu said, "Please also ask the general to hand over this matter to Jia Xu, Jia Xu will definitely let the general justify the expedition against the Xiliang thief." ”
Since the expedition was persuaded by Jia Xu, Jia Xu, a lazy man, took the initiative to take care of things, of course Peng Yu complied, and the expedition could only be stopped.
When everyone thought that Jia Xu was just secretly investigating the cause of this matter, Jia Xu was in full swing for Peng Yu Buxi's cool situation.
…………
Xiliang, Jincheng.
The three of them walked side by side, talking and laughing, and they were Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou, and Han Sui.
Han Sui hugged his fists and said with a smile, "Brother Beigong is so bold, I heard that Peng Yu's military exploits are outstanding, but his soldiers came to Jincheng but were ambushed by Brother Beigong with troops, Peng Yu's loss is not small, Han Mou bowed." ”
Beigong Boyu said proudly, "Hmph, the soldier surnamed Peng passed by here, and he actually jumped on his horse and showed his might, I don't know if I came to visit Lao Tzu, such a person, I don't suffer any losses, and I have no one in Xiliang." ”
Li Wenhou hugged his fists and said, "Brother Beigong, it's good, the majesty of our Xiliang people, looking at the soul that Geng was frightened by Peng Yu's letter, it was really embarrassing and embarrassing." ”
Beigong Boyu snorted coldly, "Hmph, what is Geng Contempt, Lao Tzu will cut off his head sooner or later." ”
Li Wenhou seemed to suddenly remember something, and couldn't help but say sharply, "Such a person was actually promoted to the history of the Xiliang Thorn, it is really ridiculous and generous, I think this court is blind." ”
Han Sui looked at the two of them and smiled, "What Brother Li said is extremely true, in my opinion, only Brother Beigong is qualified to serve in the history of the Xiliang Thorn, how can Geng Contempt take on this position?" ”
Beigong Boyu reined in when he heard this, looked at the distance and was angry, and said sharply, "Hmph, Lao Tzu has been rampant in Xiliang for many years, when that corner met Lao Tzu and raised troops with him, who knew that when the army was raised, Lao Tzu was seriously ill, and when he first recovered, he had already missed the opportunity, otherwise he would have led the troops to take advantage of the situation, Xiliang had already fallen into my hands, and then he would have entered Chang'an, where would Geng Cong and this surnamed Peng have happened?" ”
Han Sui sneered in his heart when he heard this, what serious illness is in the body, it is all nonsense, Beigong Boyu seems to have no heart, but in fact he is two-faced and despicable, on the one hand, he promised Zhang Jiao to rebel in Xiliang, and on the other hand, he reported Zhang Jiao to the court to ask for credit, this person has no morality to talk about, but Han Sui is now under the command of Beigong Boyu, so he naturally did not dare to say it clearly, so he regretted it very much, "It's a pity that the opportunity is missed." ”
Li Wenhou sighed even more: "It's a pity that Xiliang is the history of the assassin." ”
Beigong Boyu sneered when he heard this, looked at the two of them and said, "You two really think that Geng Contempt can serve as the history of the Xiliang Thorn?" ”
Li Wenhou's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Could it be that Brother Beigong has already made arrangements?" ”
Han Sui was even more full of expectations, once Beigong Boyu fought against Geng Cong, then the strategy he had painstakingly designed would come in handy.
"Hmph, the day Geng Yan takes office, it will be the time when he dies, you wait and see."
