After the long and undercurrent of military discussion, Xu You left He Wei alone to have breakfast, and after the meal, the two walked around the small back garden of the house.

The maple leaves want to look better, and the plum blossoms are fragrant before they are moved,

This is the unique withering beauty of early winter, which is different from the autumn colors, but even more unforgettable!

"I know your mind......

He Wei smiled and said nothing, in order to take revenge, he always wanted to overthrow the rule of the An clan in Jiangdong, which had never been hidden from Xu You, so he advocated the decisive battle with the Wei army during the Jietang military discussion, in fact, the focus was not on the Luoyang battle situation, but on the intention to take the first step with Xu You.

With the first step, there will naturally be a second step, a third step, and a fourth step, as long as you go down this road, no matter how resolute Xu You's will is, it will not be able to stop the vast trend of the yellow robe and the self-reliance of Chu.

Xu You knew that it was impossible to persuade He Wei to give up this dangerous and tempting idea, so he only talked to him about the matter, and said: "The soldiers are in danger, and in the face of Yuanguang, who dares to say that they will win?" What's more, a quick win? Have you ever thought that it is a great disrespect to resist the decree, if you win, you can also say that you will be outside, the monarch's order will not be accepted, and after returning to Beijing, there is still some room for turning around if you are condemned by Taiwan Province...... Its wings, we are not without enemies in Jinling, save yourself first, before you can say otherwise, you are a smart person, don't do stupid things! ”

He Wei said with a slight mockery: "I thought Shichiro didn't care about the position of the general......

"I don't covet fame and wealth, but only when I am in my position can I seek government. There are many things that others can't do, or don't want to do, so I'll do it. ”

He Wei has been by Xu You's side for many years, and understands that he is not a lie, when it comes to the heart of the country and the people, it is really too much beyond others, what he is doing and what he will do is all difficult, but he has never hesitated for half a minute, Mencius said that although tens of millions of people have been going to the long river of history, how many people can really do it?

Having said that, He Wei is no longer strong and begs Xu You to stay in Luoyang, after all, Yuanguang chose the most ingenious time to join the battle, if he can't win quickly, let Sun Guan attack the state capital, even if he defeats Yuanguang in the end, Xu You will be under great pressure from the country, overwhelming criticism, and even cancel out all the results of the Western Expedition.

Because the destruction of the Western Liang and the war against the Northern Wei Dynasty were just to gain strategic advantages and long-term interests, no matter how tragic the fight was, the nobles of Jinling could not see it or feel it. And Sun Guan's rebellion affected the immediate interests of the Shi clan, the pain of breaking muscles and bones was more intuitive, and it was easier to lose reason and judgment, and then the ugliness of human nature, the habit of transferring hatred, let Xu You bear all the responsibility.

At this time, Xu You's strength was not enough to turn against the gate valve class, so he said to protect himself first, He Wei understood the difficulties, so he also changed his position.

He wanted to push Xu You to the next level, but if the foundation collapsed, how could everything start?

"Okay, I support the retreat! However, it is better to wait for the chaos in Jizhou before negotiating......"

This is to increase their bargaining chips at the negotiation table, Xu You said: "I asked Sha Sanqing to rush to Jizhou overnight to meet the winter solstice, and asked her to persuade Fa Gui to suspend the raising of troops and wait for another opportunity." ”

"Huh?"

"The negotiations with the Northern Wei Dynasty, plus there are not many Jizhou, and there are not many Jizhou, we still have to make long-term plans, and we can't use up all the chips at once......"

He Wei thought for a while and said, "It's okay!" ”

The war, which lasted for thirty days, strangely entered a period of calm, and Yuan Mulan and Yuan Guang had no extra moves, and seemed to be waiting for Zhongmu to make a decision, which verified He Wei's guess that Sun Guan's rebellion was really inseparable from the foreign marquis.

Xu You didn't wait too long, only four days later, he received the order of the imperial court, although the tone was gentle and discussed, but the core purpose was to let Xu You withdraw the army as appropriate, asking him to take the domestic situation as the priority, properly handle the battle in Luoyang, not only not to fall into the army, but also to withdraw as soon as possible.

Yuan Hai, the Chinese scholar who passed the decree, is only thirty, handsome, and Yuan Qingqi is a cousin.

The Yuan clan was neutral in the court and did not take sides, and the emperor asked him to come to Zhongmu, indicating that many factions within Jinling had reached a consensus. Xu You immediately knelt down to receive the order, and wrote a note by hand, clarifying that there was a specific plan to withdraw the troops, and his attitude was pious and deferential, Yuan Hai witnessed the whole process, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about the words that Xie Xiwen said to him in private when he came, he really shuddered, if Xu You really resisted and disobeyed, did he have the courage to ask for the Son of Heaven Sword and kill Xu You?

Xu You decided to withdraw his troops, but he did not take the initiative to negotiate with the Wei army, but waited for two more days, the battle report of Yecheng came, Ye Min led the army to besiege but not attack, and ambushed many times in the steep place, and successively defeated the eight-way reinforcements from Handan, Guangping, Yangping, Qinghe and other counties, and successfully cleared most of the strongholds around Yecheng, leaving only one lonely city.

The Wei army, which was attacking Zhucheng and Licheng, learned that Yecheng was besieged, and feared that the back road would be cut off, so they had to retreat in a hurry. Licheng is okay to say, Jizhou town lord Lu Bina and Qingzhou Thorn Shi Butian have had dealings, and they didn't suffer too much loss, and the two sides scolded each other in front of the battle for most of the time when they retreated - of course, this kind of scolding is similar to the gossip of old friends, and the two have been on the line for many years, and they have long been used to it.

But Qu Hong, the mayor of Jeju in the direction of the city, vomited blood a little, he stormed the town for more than 20 days, exhausted all kinds of vicious schemes, and all the divisions were exhausted, but he lost more than 2,000 people, which was regarded as living up to Yuan Mulan's trust and promotion, and his thick black hair became as white as frost and snow, as if he was dozens of years old.

"Wu Tao, I will kill you!"

Looking at the crumbling, but always insisting on not falling, Qu Hong rode on the horse, full of unwillingness, his eyes wanted to spew fire, he swore to the sky that he would make a comeback, and when the time came, he would pick Wu Tao's skin and cramp, crush his bones and scatter ashes!

Wu Tao untied his belt at the head of the city and peed at Qu Hong!

Knowing that the Eastern Front was completely defeated, Yecheng was surrounded again, and the reinforcements were all defeated, Yuan Mulan finally sent an envoy to Zhongmu to ask to see Xu You.

The messenger is Mu Fan, and Xu You is an old friend, but Xu You avoided it, Tan Zhuo and He Wei met with him, and the two sides did not greet each other, Mu Fan said straight to the point: "I heard that your country has suddenly changed, so the Lord of Chu summoned General Xu back to Beijing, and I am ordered by the military commander to see off General Xu!" ”

This is the dismount, indicating that the Northern Wei Dynasty is clear about the movements of the Chu court.

Tan Zhuo said with a smile: "It's just a thief, you can't become a climate, why bother your lord?" ”

"Oh?"

Mu Fan pretended to be surprised, and said: "Sun Guan, as a great grandmaster, is a martial artist who dominates the north and south, and the Heavenly Master Dao has twenty-four rules under his jurisdiction, and there are millions of sects. ”

He Wei said coldly: "The demon road doesn't know the number of days, and the artifact is moved in vain, even if Heming Mountain can gather millions of people, it is only a local chicken." The general has told the lord that he will only send a good general and return to Beijing with 30,000 tigers. ”

In other words, I have left 30,000 people, and there are still 100,000 to fight with you, don't be too complacent.

Mu Fan groaned, Xu You acted in a unique way, maybe he really dared to resist the order and not return to Beijing in person, and only divided 30,000 troops to quell Sun Guan's rebellion.

Speaking from the heart, it is true that Sun Guan is a great grandmaster, but war is not a competition in the rivers and lakes, the elite troops need to be trained for many years, the logistics supply needs to be hoarded for many years, and the armor and equipment have to be forged for many years, all three are indispensable, so what is the combat effectiveness of the Heavenly Master and Taoism, everyone has no bottom in their hearts. And Xu You's troops have been tested by the Western Liang and the Northern Wei Dynasty, and can be called the world's first-class strong soldiers, only 30,000 people are dispatched, will it really be able to pacify the Heavenly Master?

Mu Fan laughed and said: "Back then, Du Mingyu only relied on the power of Yangzhou to govern one rule, and stirred up a monstrous storm in the half of Jiangdong, Sun Guan is now twenty-four rulers, and he sacrificed wine to be too underestimating the enemy......

Tan Zhuo sneered and said, "This time and that time!" Du Mingyu rebelled, the general was still dormant, and he was powerless to do something, but in the end, he didn't rely on the general's clever plan? Now that the general is a very popular minister, he has enough strength to deal with Sun Guan, if General Mu doesn't believe it, you can wait and see! ”

for tat is not polite, not to quarrel with words, but to pave the way for the next peace talks, Mu Fan saw that his words could not take advantage, so he changed his strategy and said: "I have a lot of respect for the general, and I also think that the general is out of the horse, Sun Guan is not an opponent, but only send a so-called good general, aren't you afraid that the Lord of Chu will be unhappy?" ”

Tan Zhuo stopped and said, "My lord is Mingjun!" ”

He Wei was unforgiving, and said: "General Mu has been in abalone for a long time and has not smelled its stench, maybe he doesn't know what Mingjun is, let me give you an example, if Yuanguang was born in Dachu, he would never be repeatedly suspicious......"

Mu Fan couldn't get separated, but instead set himself on fire, He Wei's words were really disrespectful to the Emperor of Wei, and it was not to refute, let alone agree, in fact, he shouldn't even listen.

Syllable!

Mu Fan dropped the teaglass, stood up angrily, and then brushed his sleeves away.

He was not angry, but if the lord humiliated his ministers to death, he would not make a appearance, and in the future, he would be noticed by the foreign marquis, and then it would reach the ears of the emperor, and he would have to shed his skin if he did not die.

If Yuan Yu is really a big-minded Mingjun, forget it, but ...... Hey, it's like the poorer the poorer, the more they have to pretend to be style and level, and what they don't have is the most hated by others.

Tan Zhuo chased him out and sent Mu Fan away, there should be no less procedures, after all, Da Chu is a state of etiquette, and he is not as knowledgeable as Suo Yu, who is clothed in left hair.

The first negotiations broke down.

However, everyone was not in a hurry, knowing that this was just an appetizer, and Yuan Mulan would have to send someone in a few days.

Because Xu You sent instructions to Ye Min, asking him not to have scruples and fight well in Yecheng, the better the fight, the better the talk on Zhongmu's side.

Sure enough, within a few days, the next day, Yuan Mulan's envoy came again, it was still Mu Fan.

This guy's skin is thick enough!
