When Cao Bin conquered Xiangcheng, the Chu army, which surrounded Nanyang, actually captured a Khitan messenger: Yelu Deguang let the assassin see the opportunity??? Ma Yun's heart is much more settled... But the situation will change, and no one can expect it...
The news that Xiangcheng was conquered and Gao Xingzhou's father and son went south to rescue the soldiers reached Ma Yun's camp at dawn. Only the kung fu of the front and rear feet, the secret agents of the Chu State in the Central Plains also quickly sent the news from the north: the people of Hebei and Shandong rose up and made a mess, and the great emperor Yelu Deguang couldn't stand it, so he left his brother-in-law Xiao Han to stay in Bianjing, and took the gold and silver treasures of the Great Jin Dynasty and the eunuchs and palace maids back to their hometowns.
At the same time, Liu Zhiyuan, the king of Taiyuan, proclaimed himself emperor in Taiyuan, and had already marched south, led by Shi Hongzhao to Luzhou (now Changzhi, Shanxi) and Zezhou (now Jincheng, Shanxi), and he himself led the army to the west, passing through Jinzhou (now Linfen, Shanxi), Jiangzhou (now Xinjiang, Shanxi), and went straight to Shaanzhou (now Sanmenxia, Henan), and then turned east and entered Bianliang. The Khitans retreated north in a hurry, and the prefectures and counties where the soldiers and horses passed by Hedong surrendered one after another, and the military progress was extremely smooth, and it was estimated that it would take a day or two to reach Bianjing.
After listening to the spies' report, Li Xiang frowned slightly, Liu Zhiyuan really had extraordinary knowledge, and in the complicated situation, he chose the most correct path. It's a little hard to do right now...
It is said that Yelu Deguang's flight to the north is because he is afraid of the resistance of the people in the Central Plains, and he is afraid of falling into the vast sea of people's war; is still delayed by Liu Zhiyuan's army, for fear that Liu Zhiyuan will join the righteous army to capture Yecheng, Xiangzhou and other places, and cut off the return route of the Khitans; Or the conclusion that the invaders never ended well, this is just a different statement, but one thing is certain, Liu Zhiyuan chose this route of march, then the main army of the Khitans will withdraw from the Central Plains with Yelu Deguang without danger.
In Taiyuan City, if Liu Zhiyuan directly marched eastward to join the rebellious peasant army and the local Jin soldiers, and transferred to the Hebei provinces, the Khitans wanted to retreat, it would be impossible at all. But in this way, the Khitans will inevitably find Liu Zhiyuan to fight to the death, the cranes and mussels fight, the fishermen benefit, a big battle, even if Liu Zhiyuan can win, it is estimated that the losses of his army are also huge, without the support of the army, what will Liu Zhiyuan use to dominate the world and become the emperor?
The Chinese have been extremely concerned about the name and the center since ancient times, as long as Liu Zhiyuan first takes Bianjing, the center of the Central Plains, then Guanzhong, Huaibei, and Henan, which are less affected by the Khitan, will inevitably support Liu Zhiyuan, and the support of some of these places, and then army Hebei, it will be much easier to drive the Khitans away.
In the big tent, quietly. Li Xiao glanced at Ma Yun, who was silent, and couldn't help coughing softly.
Listening to the spy's words, Ma Yun's heart sank, Liu Zhiyuan moved so fast, it was inevitable that he would enter Bianjing first. What kind of countermeasures will Liu Zhiyuan take against the current military operations of the Chu army? Is it to turn a blind eye, or ignore it and ignore it, or to go south to confront Da Chu?
All kinds of thoughts came to him, and Ma Yun even regretted it a little: if he had started his army earlier, let alone take Bianjing, at least Dengzhou and Tangzhou should have fallen into his hands by this time.
Just when Ma Yun was suffering from gains and losses, a light cough came, Ma Yun woke up suddenly, his face was red, as the supreme leader of Dachu, no matter what he was doing, he could not retreat and shake in the slightest. He smiled reluctantly, turned his head and asked Li Xiang, "Liu Zhiyuan is in a hurry." But also, he is almost sixty years old this year, and if he is not in a hurry, I am afraid that he will not have time to be the emperor. Hehe. ”
Li Xiang shook the goose feather fan in his hand, laughed twice, and then asked the spy again: "Where are the envoys of Du Chongwei and Li Shouzhen now?" Ma Yungang's words are equivalent to not saying it, as a marching Sima, he can't help but consider the situation in the north and can't let go of any detail. Six years ago, Shannan Jiedu envoy (that is, Weisheng Jiedu envoy) An Congjin rebelled, Gao Xingzhou was the main force in the south to quell the rebellion, and he also served as the Weisheng Jiedu envoy for a short time, and the Gao family left many clansmen in Dengzhou and Wancheng. This time, Gao Xingzhou went south, and it is estimated that he was instructed by the Khitan Emperor to pick up Cui Tingxun and them. At present, the Khitan Emperor has fled north, and Liu Zhiyuan's attitude towards Gao Xingzhou's southward fight against the Chu army is crucial to the current battle situation.
"Lord Bing, Du Chongwei, Li Shouzhen and others have been sent back to their respective jurisdictions by Yelu Deguang a few days ago, and they have recruited rebels and have already turned against the Khitans."
A sneer appeared at the corner of Li Xiang's mouth, and he said: "King, according to the minister's opinion, Liu Zhiyuan may not take a categorical consensus on our Great Chu, as long as we go south to Wancheng and defeat Gao Xingzhou, it is estimated that Liu Zhiyuan will naturally negotiate peace with us?" ”
Ma Yun said in surprise: "Mr. Li, as long as Liu Zhiyuan enters Bianjing, I am afraid that he will be recognized by all the feudal towns in the Central Plains." The Central Plains is stable, and Liu Zhiyuan is trying to establish his prestige and ensure the safety of Bianjing, and it is inevitable that he will go south to conquer us. If he doesn't take advantage of it, how can he make peace with us? ”
"The king's analysis cannot be said to be wrong, but there is one thing that you have left out. That is the reflection of Du Chongwei and Li Shouzhen, especially Du Chongwei. After Shi Jingjiao's death, Du Chongwei won many battles against the Khitan, and his prestige in the Great Jin Dynasty was rising, and he might not be willing to be Liu Zhiyuan's subordinate. This can be seen from Du Chongwei's recruitment of troops and his open face with the Khitans, the Khitans have not completely retreated, Du Chongwei will expel the Khitan and restore the Hebei Prefectures, what does he want to do? I'm afraid he doesn't want to be Guo Ziyi, right? ”
Ma Yun walked a few steps quickly, came to the map hanging on the left side of the big tent, looked at it carefully, and said hesitantly: "What does Mr. mean is that Du Chongwei wants to compete with Liu Zhiyuan for the world?" He did not rescue Xiangzhou, which was close to Hedong, but attacked Beizhou and other places in the north of Yecheng... Ma Yun's eyes lit up and said, "In this way, Liu Zhiyuan will not send troops south." Hehe... Then we can conquer Wancheng first, and then capture Tangzhou? "With Dengzhou and Tangzhou on top, the front in the north will be completely consolidated, and you can rest assured that you can boldly open Hubei and turn Hubei into a paradise in Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Li Xiang glanced at the map and shook his head, no one expected Gao Xingzhou's troops to move south so quickly, since his forward troops suffered losses in Xiangcheng, Gao Xingzhou, who was familiar with the terrain, would definitely not stay in Xiangcheng for too long, and he would definitely turn east to Tangzhou to rescue Wancheng. By Tangzhou, the fastest is only a day's delay. In other words, there is only one day left for the Chu army to attack Wancheng.
"King, it is unlikely that Liu Zhiyuan will support Gao Xingzhou on a large scale in a short period of time, but if we can't capture Wancheng in one day, then Gao Xingzhou's troops will inevitably rush to Wancheng to reinforce them, once they enter Wancheng, it will be very difficult for our army to capture Wancheng. After a long time, Liu Zhiyuan stabilized the north, and then he would not sit back and watch us take Wancheng, if he sent reinforcements again, our situation would be even more dangerous. Therefore, the minister suggested that the king immediately send a general to take 1oooo people to Fengshan in the northeast of Nanyang to resist the enemy, and the minister asked for the order to take the centurion sent by Cao Bin yesterday to Wancheng and persuade Cui Tingxun to sacrifice Wancheng! ”
"No, I can't. This is too dangerous, and the widow would rather not want Nanyang City than get hurt. Ma Yun categorically refused without thinking about it.
Ma Yun's answer without hesitation moved Li Xiang, but because of this, Li Xiang strengthened his belief in sending Wancheng...
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Shannan Dongdao (roughly that is, the Weisheng Jiedu Envoy) was in frequent wars, and the population of Nanyang City was greatly reduced, and it was greatly damaged, from the original city-level unit to a county-level unit.
The war drums outside Nanyang City are noisy...
In the lobby of the Nanyang County Ya, he sat on it solemnly, looking solemn, like a mud tire, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or annoyed. Cui Tingxun on the side sat naturally and casually, squinted his eyes left and right, and then asked, "General Drag, did you let that Li Xiang come in and talk?" ”
"Whew..." Tuthorn cleared his throat, looked at the left side of the courtyard in front of the lobby, there was a large cauldron, the firewood under the pot was crackling, the green smoke was floating on the pot, it seemed that the oil in it was already boiling, and then looked at the two columns of samurai with halberds in front of the court standing majestically, he turned his head to look at the screen behind him, and calmed his mind slightly, before he said: "It's okay, let that Li Xiang come in and talk." ”
Cui Tingxun subconsciously shook his head, I don't know who he learned from the sinology of dragging this guy, Chu sent envoys to negotiate, he actually made such a play, it was an oil pot, and he ambushed the knife and axeman, why did he make such trouble. If you want to kill someone, you can order it directly, there are 10,000 horses in Nanyang City, and it is not easy to kill a literati. Surrounded by the Chu Legion, if you do this, you Khitans think that you have face, and the Central Plains people don't know, doesn't this just show that you are timid? What should be placed on the lobby copy? Of course, it's shocking. This thorn ... There was actually a nondescript teacup on it - used to break the cup. It's not entirely to conform to this "cup dropping", but also because of the "shocking wood", it doesn't sound. (Tapping quotes: Dropping a cup is louder than dropping a wood!) )
However, the Khitan nobles who are upright and upright are not comparable to a traitor like him in terms of background alone. Therefore, even if Cui Tingxun disagreed in his heart, he couldn't object, so he said loudly: "Let that Li Xiang come in." ”
Pulling Thorn raised his eyes, a literati about 3o years old and wearing a purple official robe walked in. Unhurried, smiling, and not looking at the oil pot... I can't help but feel funny in my heart, this is the same as what is written in the book, and the guy named Li Xiang on the other side of the next step should say with emotion: "I came this time, not for Da Chu, but to save you Khitans!" ”
Thorn was waiting for this sentence with great interest.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiang opened his mouth and said coldly: "Come on, untie the cloth bag." ”
He was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Li Xiang was followed by two people, and they were carrying a cloth bag that was long for one person. After unraveling it, there was actually a person in the cloth bag, and it was still an acquaintance - Xiao Jingke, the centurion of Xiangcheng.
Ya, lost to the city?
