On the surface, it is said not to attack the people, but in fact, it is implied that the families in the city should not be plundered.

This group of big families is very selfish, of course, it is also possible that they want to trick themselves into the city, but this possibility is not high, they have a system, and they can directly see that several of them are indeed the heads of the families in the city.

In order to deceive and surrender, using himself as a bait, it is not like the style of the family to sacrifice his life for righteousness, but he can't be unguarded.

Liu De said: "Get up!" As the head of each family, you are in an important position in the city, do you know Li Yun's military deployment? ”

Liu De diverted the topic.

The leader who knelt on the ground said in a trembling voice: "Don't dare to deceive Your Highness, before this, there were still more than 10,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Xinmi County, but then Chen Liu sent a military order to transfer all the soldiers and horses, and there were only some old, weak, sick and disabled people left in the city, and there were only a thousand soldiers and horses, how could they resist the king's division, so we decided to open the city and surrender..."

"Do you know why all the soldiers and horses were taken away? What about the other counties besides yours? ”

The man said: "It is said that it is to defend Chen Liu's defense, and the other counties must be the same." ”

Liu De frowned slightly, obviously Li Yun's wave of operations, with Liu De's IQ, he didn't understand it, or rather, he was thinking too much?

Chen Qi arched his hand on the side and said: "Your Highness, I can't say, then Li Yun thinks the same as the puppet emperor Yang Tianlong, and wants to fight to the death with us in Chen Liucheng." ”

Liu De nodded, noncommittal, he always felt that it was not that simple.

Liu De waved his hand, asked people to bring this group of families down, and sent troops into the city, moved all the money and food to the barracks, don't disturb the people, and appointed the leader just now to temporarily serve as the taishou.

It can be said that except for the lack of money and food in the city, and the people may be a little frightened, there is not much difference from before.

No, there are still some of them, and the flag at the head of the city has been changed from the Wei character banner to the Chinese character flag.

Liu De asked everyone, "Let's see what this Duke Wei wants to do?" ”

Gao Huaide stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, maybe Li Yun wants to disperse our forces so that we can break them one by one." ”

"Your Highness!"

Du Ruhui said: "The minister thinks that he has abandoned other territories and just stuck to Chenliu, and the minister has only seen the harm, but he has not seen the slightest advantage, as long as we cut off Chenliu's grain from the rear, millions of people, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses eat horses and chew, how can Chen Liu hold on?" And Li Yun and His Royal Highness are juxtaposed, they are a generation of heroes, and it is impossible for them to be so short-sighted, there must be something strange in this. ”

"Danzhou, Ma Pingchuan, it's not easy to find an ambush point, if it's an ambush, isn't it impossible?"

Liu Renzhen said on the side.

Liu De suddenly thought of something and asked, "Su Cang is still being detained in Beiping, who are the advisors under Li Yun's command now?" Lone remembers that it was called Xun..."

Dai Zong replied: "Your Highness, this person's name is Xun Da, and he ranks fifth in the list of the top ten strategists!" ”

"Yes, it's him, Xun Qing once said to Gu that this Xun Danai is a member of the Xun clan, and he is Xun's eldest brother, he is quite talented, and he is called the dragon of the Xun clan by the elders of the clan."

Xun You had to say at this time: "Your Highness Mingjian, it's true, when the eldest brother traveled the world and cut off contact with the family, he later learned that he was an official under Li Yun, the Duke of Wei..."

"This Gu has long known it, how can he blame you, but since Xun Da is one of your Xun clan's people, you should know his ability, and gathering soldiers and horses to Chenliu must be Xun Da's plan, if it is Li Yun, he must lead the army to confront Gu, in that case, it is better, and not so confused now."

Liu De may have said that his mouth was a little dry, so he picked up the tea cup and prepared to take a sip of hot tea.

Peng Yue asked at this time: "Then Li Yun in the east and west is no longer defensive?" It's impossible, after all, Jinzhou is so big, if you retreat, Wei Guo will really have no danger to defend? ”

"East, West..."

The teacup on Liu De's lips suddenly stopped, and Du Ruhui and Xun You appeared almost at the same time.

"Your Highness! Immediately Pegasus sent an order to Huo Dudu, General Ma, General Li and General Sun, be careful of the ambush! ”

"Your Highness, you should immediately send a horse to check on Chen Liu's military movements, the movement of more than 100,000 troops will definitely leave clues."

Liu De's fingers kept pointing on the desk, obviously thinking about the problem, Sun Chongjin only had 5,000 people, and it was not cost-effective to use a large number of soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress Sun Chongjin, and Sun Chongjin had a ship, even if he was defeated, he could escape by boat.

The ambush of Sun Chongjin basically did not have much impact on the overall situation.

Therefore, it can be ruled out that Sun Chongjin is a soldier and a horse.

And Ma Teng and Li Dingguo's soldiers and horses have 10,000 soldiers and horses along the way, but they are basically cavalry, and if they want to encircle them, they will definitely spend a lot of energy, and they may not be able to catch them.

There are 20,000 people on the way to Huo Quai, all of them are on foot and horse, and the road in the north of Jinzhou where Huo Qubing attacked is rugged and difficult to walk, and there are many passes.

Huo Quzhi's status is very high, and his status in the army is second only to Zhang Tianlang, Bai Qi, and Guan Yu, ranking fourth, even higher than Liu Gui and Yan Nan.

Defeating Huo Qubing can greatly reduce the morale of the Han army, so that Luanzhou will no longer have troops to stop it, and it can completely drive straight into Beiping!!

"Bang!"

Liu De took the case, "Li Yun's goal is Huo Quai!" ”

Suddenly, he turned his head to Dai Zong and said, "Dai Zong, you go in person to send a message to Huo Quai, and ask him to be careful of ambushing!" ”

"Command!"

Liu De spread out the map and said to Dai Zong: "According to the time, the doctor should be here!" ”

Liu De pointed to a place in Jinju, "You strive to deliver the letter, if it doesn't work, you can only see yourself who is sick." ”

"The minister understands!"

Dai Zong nodded, and went down to prepare to go.

Liu De then waved his hand and ordered: "Li Yun shrinks his forces and consolidates the defense line, is he trying to drag down our army and give Jinzhou's soldiers and horses a chance, then Gu wants to see if he Li Yun is fast or Lone is fast!" The army is assembled, and the troops are left! ”

"Yes!"

The generals shouted in unison.

On the way to the march of the army, Liu De received two more news, one is that Sun Chongjin led his troops to attack Danzhou, Danzhou was almost defenseless, and there were basically not many soldiers and horses in the city.

Liu De replied to the letter and ordered Sun Chongjin to control the coastal Jinkou of Danzhou, collect the ships, and confiscate the household registration, land, and documents of each county, these things are the top priority, and with these things, you can control the lifeblood of Danzhou.

Another piece of news is about Xu Hai, a disciple of the Mo family, who served under Liu De when he was in Dongyu, and was almost present in every battle, and even when Lin Hu invaded, he personally carried a crossbow to kill the enemy.

Because of the inspection of the construction of the Zijin Pavilion, the weather is cold, and the wind and cold are not a sickness, although there are Hua Tuo and An Dao all the heart to diagnose and treat, but Xu Hai's longevity has been exhausted, and the two famous doctors are already powerless, barely holding out for a few days, Xu Hai died.

Xu Hai's death made Liu De's heart quite heavy, so Liu De issued an edict: "Xu Hai has been lonely for several years, loyal to his duties, self-denial and public service, and now he is sick and lonely, and he is posthumously awarded Xu Hai as the Golden Purple Guanglu Doctor, the Marquis of Weicheng Pavilion, and the hundred officials evaluate Xu Gong's merits, posthumously give him the nickname, and enter the Zijin Pavilion to worship for future generations!" ”

"His eldest son, Xu Gongsi, attacked the Marquis of Guannei."

"The second son, Xu Gongqi, is the captain of (Zhengqipin) Yilu."

"His third son, Xu Gongche, is (from the seventh grade) Xuanyi Lang."

(PS: Before this, Xu Hai's three sons, the eldest son Xu Gongsi, served as the sixth product in the Ministry of Industry.) The second son, Xu Gongqi, held the position of Dubo in the army, and was an official position from the seventh grade. The third son, Xu Gongche, served as the secretary of the eighth grade in the government, and the captain of Yilu and Xuanyilang were both civil and military officials, which was equivalent to an official being raised by one level. ）

All the military officials who are in the third grade will enter the Zijin Pavilion and posthumously give the title, and those who have not reached the third grade must be considered by the monarch to be meritorious to the society before they can be posthumously gifted.

And the title, according to the reason, is to be lowered by one level and inherited by the eldest son, but before Xu Hai's title was the Marquis of Guannei, which was the lowest title, and there would be no title if he was lowered to the first level, but Liu De felt that Xu Hai's merit, so he let Xu Gongsi inherit his title.

Of course, if you wait until Xu Gongsi dies and does not make any contributions, the title of Marquis of Guannei will also be withdrawn, unless Liu De still thinks of Xu Hai's merits and continues to let his heirs inherit the title.

Subsequently, the civil and military officials of Beiping assessed Xu Hai's merits, and posthumously gave him the nickname "An", which was recorded in the historical books: Xu Hai, Weicheng Anhou.

......

Jinju, Sangshuo.

"Dudu, ahead is Shangshuo Pass!"

Yu Ban pointed to the dangerous pass ahead and said to Huo Quai.

Huo Quzhi said: "Shangshuo sticks to the main road, surrounded by large river tributaries to rely on, and with its dangerous terrain, hold this place, I was blocked by the enemy general here at the beginning, do you have a way, will this pass be removed?" ”

Le Jin arched his hand and said: "Governor, please give the last general a soldier and horse, the last general is willing to win this pass for the governor!" ”

"General Le's ability to ascend first is praised by His Royal Highness, so I will allow you 3,000 soldiers and horses, try how strong the defense of this level is?" Huo Quzhi said.

"The last general commands!"

Lejin was overjoyed, stroked the sword and went out of the tent.

It's not that Huo Qubing doesn't want to give Lejin more soldiers and horses, Shangshuo relies on mountains and rivers, and the terrain is narrow, so he can only maintain an attack of 3,000 soldiers and horses.

Chen Tang on the side pursed his lips, obviously not optimistic about Lejin's attack, and continued to stare at the map.

Huo Quzhi commanded, "Bode, urge the craftsmen to build the catapult quickly, otherwise relying on manpower alone, the losses will be too heavy." ”

"The last general commands!"

Lubode nodded as well and went out.

Wei Yan said at this time: "Governor, His Royal Highness ordered us to attack the northern part of Jinzhou, General Ma and General Li to attack the western part of Jinzhou, we have a dangerous pass to block it, they don't have such a pass to stop it, 10,000 cavalry is coming and going like the wind!" ”

"What do you want to say?"

Huo Quzhi picked it up with his toes, picked up the juju on the ground, and tossed his left and right feet back and forth in the big tent.

And the generals were already surprised, Wei Yan stepped forward and said: "Governor, we can't let Ma Teng and Li Dingguo, the two later generals, steal the limelight!" ”

"Of course we can't let them take the credit from us!"

Huo Quzhi kicked Keju in the air, and then volleyed at the tent door, Juju flew out of the tent, I don't know where he flew, Huo Quai's personal guards hurriedly chased in the direction of Keju Fei, if he couldn't find it, the governor would curse again.

Huo Quzhi clapped his hands and said nonchalantly: "Your Highness takes us as a partial teacher, and the main goal is to attack Jinzhou, and I want to take the entire Jinzhou, and then ask His Highness for credit!" ”

"That's what the last general means!"

Wei Yan hurriedly said.

Huo Quzhi clasped his hands to his chest, and at this time there was already a sound of fighting in his ears, Huo Quzhi stood outside the tent door, looked at the faint figure in the distance, and pointed: "Then first take down this pass!" ”

Wei Yan stepped forward at this time and confided in the suggestion that had been hidden in his heart for a long time, "The last general thinks that we can take a shortcut from the trail and go directly to the rear of Shangshuo, as long as the grain road of Shangshuo is broken, Shangshuo will not attack itself, and there is no need to attack this strong city here, even if we rely on catapults, it will take at least a few months to take this city, and then the daylilies will be cold." ”

"What do you think?"

Huo Quzhi suddenly turned his head and asked the other generals.

Yu Ban objected: "The last general does not approve of General Wei's strategy, this strategy is too risky, and we are only partial division, but 20,000 horses, how many soldiers and horses does General Wei want to take to copy the path, I'm afraid that before we can go around, the Shangshuo army has already found out." When the time comes, our army will definitely be defeated! Think again! ”

"Broken slave, Chen Tang, what is your opinion?"

Zhao Ponu arched his hand and said: "The last general is all under the orders of the governor!" What should the governor do, what will he do! ”

Huo Quzhi immediately laughed.

But Chen Tang said: "General Wei's plan is quite agreeable, otherwise, it would be too worthless for us to spend here in vain!" ”

Chen Tang continued to add: "Although what General Yu said makes sense, the last general does not dare to agree, the military is urgent, if we have been stalemate here and missed the major affairs of His Highness, it will be great, and there is no need for 20,000 soldiers and horses, 5,000... No... Three thousand, bypassing the trail, you can cut off the Shangshuo grain road, or even encircle the point to send reinforcements, and eliminate the reinforcements who come to help! The entire Jinju soldiers and horses will all be dragged by our right army governor's mansion, so that His Highness can see our merits! ”

"Good! General Chen is right! That's what it means! ”

Wei Yan drank for Chen Tang.

At this time, everyone's eyes looked at Huo Quai, the young governor.

There has been news from Beiping that Huo Qubing is going to marry Liu Jia, the sister of Liu De, the Duke of Han, and Huo Quai's uncle Wei Zifu is also married to the Han Mansion.

What's more, Huo Qubing has won many battles, and even went deep into the desert for thousands of miles, with brilliant achievements, and his personal ability alone is already overwhelming.

No matter how everyone puts forward their opinions, the final decision is in Huo Quai's hands.

"Yu Ban and Lu Bode bluffed here, built more flags, erected more tents, made noise outside the pass, and confused the enemy's audio-visual knowledge, while the governor of Pontus personally led 3,000 cavalry, leading Wei Yan, Zhao Ponu, and Chen Tang to take the path and cut off the Shuo grain road."

Huo Qubing gave the order categorically.
