Chapter Seventy-Four: Return to the East
"Li Yi is dead!"
The simple and clear five words, in the ears of Wang Zhonghei, are tantamount to a bolt from the blue.
Li Yi and the rebels against Changshan, he used the old way of soldiers, with defense and attack, forced the rebels into a desperate situation, Wang Zhongsi heard a little, but he didn't want to turn around, Li Yi actually died.
You must know that Li Yi is a lonely minister, second only to Pei Min in the temple.
Such a character actually died in battle.
Wang Zhongsi only felt cold in his heart, and said, "What is the situation in the East?" ”
"I don't know!" Pei Min smiled bitterly and said, "After getting this news, I immediately broke off contact with the East. On the one hand, I was afraid of shaking the morale of the army, and on the other hand, I couldn't be distracted. For a rival like Arabia, I can't afford to be distracted. So even I don't know what is going on in the East right now. ”
He was in opposition to Mosley Massa, and the lion's ambition was like that of Sima Zhao.
Even if the situation in the east is the same, it is impossible for Pei Min to go back to support.
Mosley Massa waited for the moment when he came back to help, and once he fell into that point. It's not just the collapse of the East, but the situation in the West can't be maintained, and then it's really a whimper.
Pei Min didn't think that he could be distracted by the affairs of the East and deal with the Arabs with ease, so he simply turned himself into a deaf person, ignored the situation in the East, and used all his energy to deal with the Arabs.
Wang Zhongsi could understand Pei Min's feelings, and said: "Not to mention their lion king, even that Abu Muslim is also a first-class general in the world. He immediately sensed Brother Min's intentions and planned to return to the army to expand the city. The younger brother fought a bloody battle with him, and under the absolute advantage, he almost fell for his trick and let him divide his troops to break out. If it was really under the same circumstances, my brother didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to defeat him. Far water can't save near fire, and Arabia is an adversary to be taken seriously. ”
Pei Min sighed: "According to my estimate, the situation should not be ordinarily bad. We have not fought in the Central Plains for a hundred years, and the local army has long been slackened. Such a sudden change will fall into a terrible chain reaction in the short term, making the situation uncontrollable. Now His Majesty has no ability to resist the situation, if he listens to the arrangements of Jiuling and Song Gong, it will not be out of control, I am afraid that he will listen to slander and make the situation even worse. ”
Wang Zhongsi is not good at this kind of political struggle, and from a military point of view, he said: "Brother still can't understand, the king of Xin'an County is a famous general of my dynasty, Brother Min trusts him so much, he takes the initiative to occupy the overall situation, controls Changshan to rush, and eats the rebels to death, why would he turn around sharply?" ”
Pei Min said bitterly and helplessly: "It seems that Your Majesty doubts the loyalty of the county king of Xin'an, suspects that he supports the army and respects himself, and urges the county king to fight." The king of the county was forced to fight without showing his loyalty, and the central forbidden army and the local army lived in peace for a long time, and they were not the opponents of the Northeast Army, and finally they were surrounded by the rebels and committed suicide ......"
He didn't know the news he got yet, the rebel Zhang Kang killed his eldest son because of Li Yi's bad deeds to him, and because Li Yi sent Guo Ziyi to serve as the Taishou of Changshan.
New hatred and old hatred combined, Zhang Kang hung Li Yi's body in the city of Changshan County and exposed it to the sun. Let the corpse rot and grow maggots, and the crows will eat it, and the bones will be gone!
He and Li Yi may not be friends with each other because of Li Longji's arrangement, but they cherish each other and admire his strategy and personality.
If it weren't for this, Pei Min would not have followed Sun Ce in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", leaving Jiuling undecided to ask Jiuling about internal affairs and Li Yi if he didn't decide on foreign affairs.
Now such a person has received such unfair treatment, and the end is so miserable.
When Pei Min thought of this, he couldn't hide his anger in his heart, and said, "I think there is another reason. Your Majesty is not as wise and powerful as the emperor, and I don't hide anything in front of you, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is reckless in qualifications. But his biggest advantage is that he doesn't have anything else to think about, and he doesn't doubt others inexplicably. Unless someone is in the way and makes him make a wrong and stupid decision. I'll take care of this matter. Your task is to take the city of Damascus for me, as I said today. ”
As he spoke, he sighed again and said, "According to reason, it is inconvenient for me to send troops in the current situation. But I really don't want to see the victory we have worked so hard to win and let the Byzantium and the Franks choose a ready-made bargain. This burden will be handed over to you. I can't help you much if you go, everything is up to you. ”
Wang Zhongsi said resolutely: "Brother Min rest assured, my brother will never embarrass my brother." ”
Pei Min emphasized: "Please remember one thing when you go to the west. Within the limits of the boundaries I drew for you, no matter how arrogant the opponent is, you can't take a step past Lei Chi. You can hit Egypt down, but you can't hit the West. ”
Wang Zhongsi looked puzzled, but he still agreed.
This matter is urgent, Pei Min directly explained the reason: "Damascus used to be Jerusalem, this place is the holy place of Byzantine believers, and the prophet Muhammad of the Great Food Sect also ascended to heaven in Jerusalem to receive the Quran. Jerusalem is also the holy city at the heart of the Great Food Cult. The holy land of two sects in one city will inevitably produce fierce killings. ”
Wang Zhongsi realized: "Brother understands, Byzantium does not dare to be our enemy, but if we take their holy city, we will be like Liu Bei who occupies Jingzhou, and let Eastern Wu worry about it all the time." It is better to directly show that they will not take it, so that the Byzantines will be bent on attacking their holy land. And Arabia is now not enough to deal with the attack of our Tang Dynasty, the Franks, and Byzantium. It is very likely that the important should be avoided and the light should be taken seriously, and the holy land should be the first priority. Let them die, and we'll just watch the show from the sidelines. ”
Pei Min bowed his head and said: "That's right, to capture Damascus City, what we want is not to occupy it for a short time, but to really become the territory of our dynasty, and to turn this land in the west into a part of the territory of our dynasty, Jerusalem is currently a chicken rib, there is no need to attack it." ”
sent Wang Zhongsi away, and Pei Min called Sun Zhou again.
"Pei Shuai!"
Sun Zhou shouted.
Pei Min motioned for him to sit down and said, "How many years have you been with me?" ”
Sun Zhoudao: "The subordinates were rescued from Tubo by Pei Shuai when he served as the assassin of Taozhou, and it has been more than ten years. ”
"Yes, more than ten years!" Pei Min said: "You have worked hard for more than ten years, you have helped me a lot, and if you talk about the credit, you may not be inferior to Zhang Jiuling, Wang Zhilian, and Wang Changling." But because of the needs of the mission, they are more inferior than you to fame. It's really a bit unfair to you, I'm about to open up the West, and I've left you a place in history. This time, you will follow the loyal heir to the west, it just so happens that you have some understanding of the situation in the West, and you can help him a lot. ”
Sun Zhou wanted to speak and stopped.
Pei Min waved his hand and said, "Don't say it, go down." ”
After arranging everything in the West, Pei Min set off to return to the East!
