Murong Yuanzhong's men and horses were not in a hurry to attack Shen De's army, but set up camp twenty miles away from Shen De's army.

Tuyuhun is not a good type of righteous and courageous person, and this time he sent troops just to take advantage of the fisherman.

Song Huafu came with Murong Yuanzhong, and only talked about the customs of the Central Plains with Murong Yuanzhong along the way, and did not urge Murong Yuanzhong to fight.

Murong Yuanzhong was a little curious: "Isn't Lord Shangshu Ling worried about Luoyang City?" If I Tuyuhun sits on the mountain and watches the tiger fight, I'm afraid Luoyang City will be difficult to protect! ”

Song Huafu smiled indifferently, "Since the Prime Minister has already led the troops here, Luoyang City will definitely be able to be saved!" This move of the Prime Minister was enough to make Shen De unable to attack the city with all his strength, and it was impossible for him to turn a blind eye to these tens of thousands of troops no matter what! ”

"It's worthy of Lord Shang Shuling! Sure enough, it's a high opinion! So according to Lord Shang Shuling's opinion, how will this war end? Murong Yuanzhong felt more and more that he needed someone like Song Huafu to stay in Tuyuhun.

Song Huafu suddenly had the illusion of discussing matters in the Chongde Palace, as if Murong Yuanzhong was thinking about the future of the Wei State.

"The defeat of Cui Ju began here, the Great Wei lost Guanzhong Jiangnan but could get Jingxiang, and Tuyuhun greatly increased its strength but was not enough to pass through the Central Plains. I don't know if the Prime Minister is satisfied with this answer? After Song Huafu finished speaking, he flicked the dust on his sleeve.

"Today, I finally know why Dawei can sit in the Central Plains, because there is Shang Shuling. Shang Shuling is very knowledgeable, don't say the rest, just say that I Tuguhun, although there are elite soldiers and strong generals, but the population of the headquarters is too small, and it is okay to dominate the Hexi area, if you want to map the Central Plains, it is indeed beyond your strength! Murong Yuanzhong said very sincerely, and stared at Song Huafu as he spoke

"Since the Prime Minister treats each other with sincerity, the old man still has something to say to the Prime Minister today!" Song Huafu also stared at Murong Yuanzhong

Murong Yuanzhong clasped his hands into fists, "Please advise!" ”

"It is indeed a good strategy in the eyes of you and me, but ordinary soldiers may not understand the painstaking efforts of the Prime Minister. You must know that there is a group of people who are born to fight wars, and their hobby is war. Now that he is running thousands of miles but can't ask for a battle, I'm afraid that the soldiers will complain a lot. Speaking of this, Song Huafu stopped

Murong Yuanzhong looked at the ghost sheep rider beside him, and suddenly fell into deep thought. Song Huafu got to the point, many of Tuyuhun's soldiers came for the spoils of war.

But now the commander did order that all battalions should not fight at will, which made Tuyuhun's soldiers hold their stomachs.

"Shang Shuling, hit the nail on the head, our most elite ghost sheep rider was born for battle! I think Shang Shuling might as well stay, and I am willing to give up this phase and listen to Shang Shuling's orders! Murong Yuanzhong finally said that he wanted to recruit Song Huafu.

"The Prime Minister is so courteous, Song is grateful, and he understands it. But one daughter is not a second husband, and Song doesn't want to be a second minister, if the minister really has a heart, you and I will be friends, and we will also achieve friendship between our two countries! This is the best of both worlds, and the Prime Minister is invited to take a closer look. Song Huafu's refusal was expected by Murong Yuanzhong

Murong Yuanzhong refused to give up, and continued to ask, "Lord Shang Shuling, I heard that the emperor of your country is terminally ill, and Lord Shang Shu Ling is very impressed by Lord Shangshuling's loyalty and patriotism. But if the emperor of your country is gone, where should Shang Shuling go? ”

"Even if there is a day, Song is still Dawei

Loyal Servants. If we had changed places, I think the Prime Minister would have made the same choice as me. "Song Huafu's attitude is very firm

Murong Yuanzhong saw that it was useless to continue talking, so he stopped and sent someone to escort Song Huafu back to Luoyang.

The news of Cui Ju's attack on Luoyang was transmitted to Jinling through the messengers sent by Shen De and the courtiers of Luoyang.

Jinling was also shocked, but Jia Yuanen was still on the way back from borrowing grain, and Wang Tiezhu and He Wuji did not receive official orders from the imperial court, and they were just some people who claimed to have escaped.

Most of the rest of the officials advocated a quick return to Luoyang, and Wang Tiezhu was also worried about the safety of Pharmacist Zhu and wanted to personally bring people back to Luoyang.

He Wuji tried his best to dispel public opinion, "If the situation is really critical, Your Majesty will definitely send someone to bring an edict, at least there will be a letter from him!" Your Majesty has no edict, so we can't act rashly! ”

"There will be no disapproval of the king's life outside! Marshal He, do you want to sit back and wait for the capital to fall? Yang Mi retorted first

"Marshal Ho! The situation in Luoyang must be very critical, and His Majesty's edict and messenger cannot come out! If we sit here and let Your Majesty suffer, I will be responsible for my death! ”

"Yes, Marshal Ho! Instead of waiting here, take the initiative! ”

Wang Tiezhu didn't speak, just looked at He Wuji to see what He Wuji had to say.

He Wuji took a breath, "Well, if the situation is really critical, why are so many people running out?" The slaves in these ministers' families can break out of the encirclement, can it be that His Majesty's red-clothed guards can't rush away? ”

The crowd was about to refute, but He Wuji continued, "What you can think of, the enemy will definitely think of!" It is not normal for the enemy army to hit Luoyang! Luoyang wants money and no money, no food, and the enemy's intention is to lure the main force of our army back to help, and then set up an ambush halfway! If the main force of our army is gone, don't talk about Luoyang, Jinling, where you adults sit and talk about the Tao, will not be able to keep it! ”

Everyone who said it was silent, but Wang Tiezhu was unwilling, "If we don't save us, if Luoyang falls and the Lord suffers, how can we deal with ourselves?" ”

"If Brother Wang doesn't believe it, you can send people to the northwest with great fanfare to see if there is an ambush along the road! If there is no ambush, it will be up to you to help! "What He Wuji said was categorical

"Okay, then please ask Lord Yang to lead three thousand men and horses first, and I will answer after that!" Wang Tiezhu turned his head to look at Yang Mi

Yang Miwan didn't expect He Wuji and Wang Tiezhu to let him take the lead, so he waved his hand again and again, "I can't understand military affairs!" Or send someone else! ”

He Wuji smiled, "Lord Yang can't bear the fall of the capital, and personally leads the reinforcements, but at this moment he refuses, do you have to sit and wait for the capital to fall?" ”

He Wuji used Yang Mi's words to slap Yang Mi in the face, Yang Mi gritted his teeth, but he still continued to wave his hand, "Raise food and grass and military supplies below, and it is the generals' business to go into battle to kill the enemy!" ”

At this time, in order to save his life, he didn't care about his face, and what he said before was nothing.

Wang Tiezhu simply stood up at this time, "Don't fight, Lord Yang will lead the troops first, and Wang will arrive with a thousand men and horses!" ”

He Wuji also stood up, "At such an extraordinary time, please also unite sincerely, and everything is important for the overall situation!" ”

The two marshals wanted Yang Mi to lead the army first, and Yang Mi was irrefutable, so he had to bite the bullet.

Let's say that Qiantang was besieged, and Zhou Dapeng just built a mountain outside the city and fired arrows into the city from time to time, which made the people in Qiantang City panic.

Just as the soldiers and civilians of Qiantang were lamenting for the future, Lu Jinglian arrived, and he did not enter the city, but went directly to Zhou Dapeng's military camp.

Lu Jinglian went straight to the topic after a pleasant greeting: "General Zhou, haven't you heard the story of the sandpiper and the clam competing for the profit of the fisherman?" Although General Zhou is currently strong and strong, none of the more than 100,000 soldiers of our Great Wei in Jinling are vegetarians. Please also ask General Zhou to think carefully and not fall for the tricks of others! ”

Zhou Dapeng's eyes lit up: "Sir, do you mean that you and I can negotiate peace?" If this is the case, it will be a blessing to the people of both countries! ”

"General Zhou said with a smile, you are on an expedition, and seeing that Jiangnan is at your fingertips, how can you give up?" Lu Jinglian felt that Zhou Dapeng was telling lies and teasing him, and he was about to leave

Zhou Dapeng grabbed him, "Sir, we have no intention of seizing Jiangnan, we just want to use your country to go west to crusade against the traitors, and Zhou also has a handwritten letter to Mr. Lao to bring back." ”

"You're just borrowing the word? The fight is so fierce that it is just an excuse? Then why didn't you borrow the Tao earlier, and only mention the matter of borrowing the Tao today? Lu Jing asked again and again

"Because we are waiting for Cui Ju, the old fox, to make a mistake, only by letting him go north with peace of mind, our westward expansion will have a miraculous effect! I don't know so explain to sir, sir may understand? Zhou Dapeng directly said the true intention of borrowing the way

Lu Jinglian still refused to believe it, "This Qiantang is surrounded by your regiments, and it is precarious, if General Zhou really borrows the way, why not relieve the siege of Qiantang first?" ”

This rhetorical question, Zhou Dapeng smiled, "This matter is simple, I will withdraw people and horses to the west!" The siege can be lifted at any time! Come, send a message to all battalions to pack up and prepare to go west! ”

"Okay, I, Lu Jinglian, believe you once! General Wangzhou must not break his word! ”

The siege of Qiantang was lifted, and Lu Jinglian returned to Jinling with Zhou Dapeng's personal letter. Zhou Dapeng also sent someone to inform Li Xiaofei that he was going to go west to defeat Cui Ju first.

At this time, Li Xiaofei and the others had just come to Sanjiangkou City, and after meeting with Zhu Asanmeng, Crow and Tian Erzhuang, they found that everyone had been deceived by An Siqing with the same trick several times.

"Our goal of rescuing Sanjiangkou has finally been achieved, but we accidentally let the enemy escape. But it's also a good thing that we have fewer brothers. Ladies and gentlemen, these three river estuaries will be the transit place of our army's sea in the future, but this city is too small, what do you think about my intention to expand this city? Li Xiaofei summoned all the generals to discuss the expansion of Sanjiangkou City

Everyone supported the expansion, but the difference was that some people suggested building a new city on the hill, while others advocated widening and extending the moat outside the Sanjiangkou city to connect to the middle of the river.

Li Xiaofei gestured with each other with his hands for a while, "The cost of building a new city is too great, and it costs people and money, which is not good!" What's more, a new city has been built on the hill, and the old city is still guarded by troops, which is very disadvantageous to me! It is better to follow Tian Erzhuang's suggestion to slowly connect the moat and the river surface, and after widening the moat, our army's powerful naval army can also drive in to assist in the defense, which is a good idea! ”

As soon as Li Xiaofei came to a conclusion, everyone expressed their support, only Meng Crow shook his head, "I don't want to take a boat in my life, I said Xiao Li, where should we go next?" You can't all dig a trench here, can you? ”

"You're right! Everyone is digging ditches here, waiting for Marshal Zhou's instructions, and there will be many tough battles ahead! ”
