Chapter 62: The Moonlight Meets the Heroes' Strange Schemes (Part II)
Meng Lang, who had not rested for a few days, his eyes were bloodshot, because of the lack of sleep, his inner fire was flourishing, and on his chin, there was a big fire tip, the fire tip was almost ripe, and in the candle flame, others watched it, only to see that it was quite crystalline.
His appearance seemed tired, but Meng Lang's spirit was quite good.
It is no wonder that he was refreshed, assisted the Ming Lord, unified the north, relieved the people, resisted Jiangzuo, and competed for the Mandate of Heaven.
This is the ideal that Meng Lang cherished when he was young.
The Tang dynasty moved to the present, the north and the south were separated, the Hu people dominated the north, they fought with each other, the killing continued, the people suffered for it, and the Chinese civilization was about to be broken.
Back then, when he first learned to become a teacher, he also thought about going south to Jiangzuo, using his own intelligence, with his understanding of Qin and Wei, to assist the Tang Emperor of Jiangzuo, and complete the feat of recovering the Central Plains. Meng Lang, whose name was not as good as the Zu clan, extinguished the idea of going south, and simply stayed in Qindi, actively looking for opportunities.
Finally, he was a Han scholar, he was valued by Pu Mao's father, since he became Pu Mao's teacher, it has been more than ten years, after his careful teaching, Pu Mao first admired the Tang family culture, grew into a heroic young man who roughly fit the image of Mingjun in his heart, and then with the help of his spare effort, he successfully killed the Pu Changsheng, who was brave and brave, and his mind was not bad, but he could not implement the Tang Dynasty, and he was full of barbarian atmosphere, and seized the throne of Qin. After several years of resting with the people, lightly dismissing the meager endowment, before and after, twenty years of dormant in the abyss, painstakingly exhausted, until now, it is Pu Qin or not, it is Pu Mao and him Meng Lang, and finally accumulated steadily, and now seized the rare opportunity of Wei's civil strife, decisively went out of the pass, and laid down Luoyang in one fell swoop, officially began the pace of unifying the north.
At this moment, Meng Lang has been waiting for too long.
How could he not be emotionally aroused by this?
Luoyang has been down, Yecheng again, then Yuzhou, Zhongzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou, and Zhou, originally belonged to most of the Wei region, you can enter Qin's hands, then, after digesting these places, and then march into Xu, Qing, He Hun evil although fierce and brave to fight, but in the eyes of Meng Lang, he is nothing more than a cruel and unkind slave, the benevolent voice of Pu Mao, with the elite of Qin soldiers, extinguished as easy as a palm! He Hun was destroyed, and Xu and Qing also returned to Qin. Next, it is easy to either go north to the north to destroy the remnants of the Murong clan, or to take the west and conquer Longzhou. In six or seven years at most, Meng Lang was confident that he would be able to unify the northern land.
Then, confronting Jianghuai with the Tang State, while pacifying the territory, killing and disagreeing, eliminating hidden dangers, cleaning up all the Yao Tao and others, and solving the problem of the rapid expansion of the Qin State, because in the past hundred years, the Hu people have prospered, and the Hu people who harbor evil intentions in the country and have coveted the Central Plains have too many sequelae, and the people's hearts will be ironed, and if there is an opportunity, they will cross the river to the south.
With the strength of the Great Qin at that time, after the integration of Xianbei, Qian, Qiang and other Hu, there are more than one million soldiers and horses who can fight well, and how difficult can it be to attack the south of the Yangtze River, as long as you are careful and cautious and do not underestimate the enemy's carelessness?
The north and the south are unified, Pu Maogu can become the hero of the founding of a generation, and he Meng Lang is enough to leave a name in history here, and shine for a thousand years!
Every time he thinks of this, Meng Lang can't help but think of Fan Li.
He sometimes thinks, "By the time the sea is reunited, and the people can live in peace again, I will be dying!" My family is originally from Beihai, the world is chaotic, displaced from Guanzhong, the customs and people of my hometown, I have never seen it, I don't know anything. The leaves fall back to the roots, the fox dies in the first hill, I will be at that time, why not follow the story of Fan Li, farewell to the king, no, should be the Son of Heaven, return to the hometown, boating in the sea, looking at the sky and water, in the wind and waves, and grandchildren to tell me about the vast deeds I have made for the people in this life, and I am very happy! ”
He had never told anyone about it.
But at this moment in the hall, when he was answering Pu Mao correctly, Meng Lang couldn't help but have this thought in his heart.
Pu Mao saw his strange appearance and asked with a smile: "Master Meng, in the past few days, it has been to appease the people of Luoyang, and it is also a strategy to plan to enter Ye County, which is really tiring you, are you tired?" ”
Meng Lang came back to his senses, stroked his sparse gray beard, and said, "King, the ministers are not sleepy. ”
"Then you seem to be a little distracted."
"The king, the minister is thinking, Ji He's concerns just now are not unreasonable."
Just now, after Meng Lang finished explaining to Pu Mao the battle strategy of capturing Yedu, Ji He raised a concern, he said: "Although Dingxi Xin is based on a remote and poor place, he has been exhausted and unexpectedly expanded, and he has long wanted to plot against my Shuo Fang, will he take advantage of the opportunity of our army to fight with He Hun's evil spirit, and he will brazenly send troops to attack and take it?" ”
Pu Mao said, "Oh? So Master Meng is here, what countermeasures can be used? ”
Meng Lang said: "King, Xin Youzhu may indeed take the opportunity to steal my Shuo Fang, but now it is a critical moment to seize Yecheng, our army can not return to Guanzhong, Gou Taishou and Yang Taishou are the partial divisions of our army to attack Yecheng, and there is no way to immediately return to the county to set up defenses, and there is only one plan at the moment." ”
Pu Mao smiled: "Lone knows! Since all the departments of our army cannot return temporarily, the 'article' mentioned by Meng Shi must be Rouran. Is Lone right? ”
Meng Lang said: "The king and the gods, the will of the minister is Rouran. ”
Pu Mao pondered for a while, then accepted Meng Lang's suggestion and said, "Lone will send a message to Rouran, telling it to be ready to help my Shuo Fang!" ”
Ji He didn't understand the conversation between the two, and asked in wonder: "The king, Meng Gong, pass on the decree to Rouran?" What's going on? ”
Pu Mao has always been good-tempered to talented people, because he didn't think Ji He took the liberty to interject as a blame, but patiently explained to him, sat on the couch of the main seat, and said with a smile: "Xin Agua may take the opportunity to invade my Shuo Fang's worries, Master Meng has long taken care of it. Rouran was severely defeated by the combined forces of Murong Wei and Tuoba Beijin last year, so before our army left the pass, Meng Shi had already invited me to send an envoy to Rouran, and made an alliance with Rouran Khan. After defeating Wei Wei, I promised him to replace the northern land, and in order to prevent Xin Agua from sneaking up on my Shuofang, I asked him to garrison troops north of Shuofang in case of trouble. Now, Wen Shilan, the famous general of Rouran, has ridden 10,000 people and is already in Shuobei. ”
Ji He suddenly realized, and immediately admired, and said: "The king is far-sighted, Meng Gong is precautionary, and the lower officials are far from it!" ”
This section has been brought over, and Pu Mao will go tomorrow to the decree of Rouran, needless to say.
Let's say that Pu Mao turned the topic back to the strategy of attacking Ye County, and said: "If we follow the strategy of Meng Shi, the possibility that we will take Ye County first will be very great." It's just Meng Division, what should be the best part of the troops sent to attack Xuzhou? ”
In order to be able to hold Luoyang, Murong Wutai transferred most of the elite soldiers around Luoyang and Yuzhou in the east of Luoyang to Luoyang, which means that after Luoyang was defeated by Pu Qin, Yuzhou east of Luoyang is now without the heavy army of the Wei army, that is, Yuzhou is already in Pu Qin's bag, and Yuzhou borders Xuzhou in the east. Xuzhou is the old nest of He Hun's evil.
Meng Lang's strategic plan to take Yecheng first was to send a force through Yuzhou to attack Xuzhou, so as to force He Hun to divide his troops to help, He Hun evil troops now have Murong Quan's troops in front of him, and Murong Zhan's troops in the back, the situation is not conducive to him and Pu Qin's fight for Ye, after he has to divide his troops, the situation he faces will obviously be even worse, so that Pu Qin can calmly go north along Luoshui, go straight to Yecheng, and take it first.
This plan is good, but whether it can be carried out depends on whether the soldiers and horses sent to attack Xuzhou are strong enough. If it's powerful enough, it can work; If it is not strong enough, it fails to succeed in the attack, but is defeated by the soldiers left in Xuzhou by He Hunxie, then this strategy will not work. Therefore, Pu Mao asked Meng Lang, where should this army be sent?
Meng Lang already had a candidate, and he said: "Yan Gong is cautious, Guangwu is brave, with Yan Gong as the main general, Guangwu as the favorite, and Li Jibu as the township guide, which is enough to serve as a threat." ”
Yan Gong, that is, the grandson of the badger; General Guangwu is Lu Ming. One of the two of them is cautious and the other is brave, which is just a match. Li Jibu, who led Luoyang to beg from Pumao, has been active in Luoyang and Yuzhou for a long time, and is familiar with the terrain, so it is also suitable to use it as a guide.
Pu Mao thought for a while and agreed to Meng Lang's recommendation.
The matter was decided, and Pu Mao saved it for tomorrow, intending to issue it together with the decree to Rouran.
However, it is said that Luoyang used to be the capital of the Tang State, after being occupied by the Murong family, it was also a famous city of the Wei State, one inside and outside the city had a large population, and the second was the right surname of the Tang people, and the noble race of Xianbei was very numerous, and the third was that the earliest temple in the Central Plains was built in Luoyang City, and the monks in the Western Regions and various places, the branch believers of the Southern Heavenly Master Dao, etc., were also a lot, and it was easy to fight down, but it was difficult to govern, and before Luoyang was at least temporarily governed, it was not good to attack Ye County in the north, so next, Pu Mao discussed this major matter with Meng Lang and others.
The candle in the hall and the bright moon outside the hall.
After a big victory, they all looked forward to the prospects, and Pu Mao and Meng Lang, each with great ambitions, talked tirelessly at night.
……
Luoyang to the northwest, along the Yellow River and more than 600 miles, to Yanzhou in Jibei County.
Gucheng was originally the garrison of He Hunxie, and now, he has led his troops out of this place.
The reason for leaving is that after defeating Murong Zhan, in order to reward the soldiers, He Hun and his subordinate battalions entered Gucheng to loot, and after a few days of burning and killing and looting, there were not a few living people left in Gucheng County, and the houses and residences were burned clean, inside and outside the county, the corpses of men and women, old and young were piled up everywhere in the county, and in early summer, the weather was hot, the corpses rotted quickly, and the disgusting smell of corpses spread to more than ten miles away, fat maggots, flies were overwhelming, and wild dogs, foxes, and rats were rampant among them. This is not the world, it has become a ghost. He Hun is cruel and cruel, in the end, he is also a person, the five senses like and dislike, he is also like an ordinary person, and he can't stand the smell and the mess full of flies, maggots, foxes and dogs, because a few days ago he ordered his subordinates to take some people from the nearby villages that have not been killed, and tell them to clean up the miserable situation in the city. I don't know that there are few people, and I haven't been able to clean up for a few days. He Hun couldn't bear it anymore, so he killed all these people, and then the day before yesterday, he led his troops to Zhoushouting more than ten miles northeast of Gucheng County to build a camp.
Zhou Shouting Linji water, air, environment, I don't know how much stronger than the current Valley City.
After moving here, He Hun Xie was much happier.
But on this night, on the night when he was proud of Pu Mao and Meng Lang, under the same moon, He Hun was not happy.
He sat on the Hu chair, looked at Diao Qian, Zhang Shi and others next to him, and said, "There is no way at all? ”
Diao Qian's expression was terrified, because of fear, his voice trembled, and he replied: "The minister is ignorant, and there is really no good way to think hard. ”
"Youhou, what about you?"
Zhang Shi looked calm and said: "Where the way to use soldiers, the time, the place, and the people are also. Harmony and ministers can be, the time and place are favorable, and not the ministers can control it. There is no good plan. ”
One man stepped forward and shouted, "What do you want?" If you want me to see, I don't need a good solution at all, I have a way! ”
