Chapter 480: Taining Crisis
"Jie Shuai, his subordinates think that they should not go directly to the rescue of Xuzhou, but unite with the Tianping Army to attack Caozhou, and then attack Yihua.
Direct reinforcement of Xuzhou will only make the war situation develop in a direction favorable to Xuanwu, and attacking it is the best way.
Caozhou is close to Bianzhou, and Yili is the barrier of Bianzhou.
We attack Caozhou, Zhu Wen is bound to return to the division, and the siege of Suzhou will be solved. Hearing that Zhu Jin wanted to reinforce Xuzhou, Zhu Zhen persuaded him.
"Father, don't listen to this man. He just wanted to borrow his father's hand to find Zhu Wen for revenge, and attacking Caozhou at this time was tantamount to tearing his face with Zhu Wen, which was really inappropriate. Zhu Jin's eldest son said.
In fact, Zhu Zhen and Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin's family have a grudge, when Xuanwu captured Caozhou, it was Zhu Zhen and Ge Congzhou's army, and then defeated Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin's army, and also killed Zhu Xuan's brother Zhu Han, and Zhu Han is also Zhu Jin's cousin.
Originally, when Zhu Zhen came to vote, many people objected, but in order to contend with Zhu Wen, Zhu Jin took Zhu Zhen in against public opinion.
You must know that Zhu Zhen is a fierce general, before Xuanwu and Wuning fought all year round, in order to avenge Li Fan's revenge, Zhu Wen attacked Caizhou under the pretext of sending Zhu Zhen to lead an army to attack Wuning Army, and Shi Pu's 70,000 Wuning Army fought a battle.
In that battle, the Wuning army was defeated, and Zhu Zhen was directly killed under the city of Xuzhou.
It can be said that Zhu Wen is capable of the three towns of Kewuning, Tianping and Taining, and Zhu Zhen has contributed a lot.
But Zhu Wen was stunned to force the general to rebel, and also killed Zhu Zhen's heirs and occupied Zhu Zhen's wife.
Zhu Jin, who was suffering from the pressure of Xuanwu, naturally needed a fierce general like Zhu Zhen, not to mention completely subduing him, but also letting the other party use it for himself and help him fight against Zhu Wen.
Therefore, he managed to keep Zhu Zhen against public opinion, and appointed him as the assassin, and personally selected several beautiful women for him as the other party's wives and concubines.
"Shut up, how did you talk to your uncle?"
Although Zhu Jin didn't believe in Zhu Zhen very much, Zhu Zhen, who he had spent so much money to get, didn't want to let the other party open the Taining Army because of his eldest son's short-sightedness.
"Jieshuai, this is just a suggestion below, whether to adopt it or not, it still needs to be decided by Jieshuai." Although the feeling of being under the fence is not good, Zhu Zhen can only endure it now.
If it weren't for Zhu Jin's protection, Zhu Wen would have sent troops to attack him a long time ago.
I didn't see that because of the rebellion in Suzhou, I let Zhu Zhen personally conquer. The rebellion of himself and the others must have made Zhu Wen even more annoyed, but the other party endured it for the time being.
"Brother Xian's suggestion is indeed good, but Brother Xian also knows that some things are not what Ben Shuai wants to do. If he didn't take practical action, Shi Pu's side would definitely be dissatisfied, so he had to bother the virtuous brother to personally lead the army to cooperate with his brother's army to go to Xuzhou for reinforcements.
Don't know how this suggestion is? Zhu Jin asked.
"Obey the orders of the marshal!"
Zhu Zhen agreed without thinking about it.
Attacking Caozhou is undoubtedly the best policy, not only to recover Caozhou, but also to force Zhu Wen to return to help, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Although it is the middle policy to rush to Xuzhou, it is not impossible, it is just a little passive, it is like they are being led by Zhu Wen, and the initiative has always been in Zhu Wen's hands.
However, Zhu Zhen knew before that it was difficult for Zhu Jin and others to achieve great things, mainly because of their lack of courage. If Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin had done their best to help Shi Pu, it would not have become the passive situation it is today.
"Then there is Brother Lao Xian."
Zhu Jin said with a smile.
After Zhu Zhen left, Zhu Jin's sons spoke one after another.
"Father, this Zhu Zhen is a rebel, be careful that he comes to take away the foundation of the Taining Army."
"Father, Zhu Zhen is too selfish, he just wants to use his father to deal with Zhu Wen, and he can't fall for his tricks. He should be dismissed from his position as assassin and driven out of Taining. ”
"Shut up!" A few sons, your words made Zhu Jin feel very irritable, "If you can stop Zhu Wen's army, I will drive him away?" But can you?
I don't want to hear such words, Taining needs Zhu Zhen to fight against Zhu Wen, otherwise you will all die at the hands of Zhu Wen, and then you will know that you will regret it. ”
Zhu Jin's words were still relatively deterrent, and his sons immediately shut up, although they were unwilling, but fortunately they were obedient.
After stopping the nonsense of several sons, Zhu Jincai said to his general Kang Huaiying, "Huaiying, I will give you 15,000 people this time, and follow Zhu Zhen to reinforce Xuzhou." Remember, you must make sure that this fifteen-thousand-strong army is under your control, and that Zhu Zhen does not take away his military power. ”
"The last general understands!"
Kang Huaiying said in a deep voice.
"Let's go down, get together with your family, and when the army is assembled, you have to set off, Shi Pu shouldn't be waiting too long." Zhu Jin said in a calm and concerned tone.
"Xie Jieshuai!"
Kang Huaiying was stunned for a moment, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly thanked him.
After the idlers and others left, Zhu Jin sat there alone in a daze.
With the strength of the Taining Army, it is impossible to confront Xuanwu.
You must know that Zhu Wen has more than one Xuanwu, in fact, he controls the four towns of Xuanwu, Yihua, Zhongwu and Heyang, even when Li Ke used his might, the territory under his jurisdiction was only the two towns of Hedong and Zhaoyi.
If Taining had not split from Ziqing, with the powerful Ziqing Town, he might be able to compete with Zhu Wen, who had jurisdiction over the four towns.
Relying on his cousin Zhu Xuan?
The Tianping Army has jurisdiction over three states, and now only Puzhou and Yunzhou remain, Shi Pu was also beaten to the point that he could only trap Xuzhou, and the Three Towns Alliance was in danger, what to use to confront Zhu Wen?
For today's plan, you may only be able to take refuge in the imperial court, but the imperial court is far away in Hedong and Guanzhong, and Taining's jurisdiction is separated from Hedong by Tianping and Weibo, and Guanzhong is separated from Xuanwu and Heyang, which can be said to be beyond the reach of the whip.
Now that I think about it, maybe I can only start with Ziqing.
I don't know if to help Cui Anqian pacify Wang Shifan, if the other party can help him say some good things in front of the saint, if he has the help of the imperial court, he may be able to keep Taining.
Thinking of this, Zhu Jin made a decision.
"Come on, go and call Zhu Qiong!"
Zhu Qiong is Zhu Jin's cousin, and it is only convincing to ask the other party to come forward to find Cui Anqian.
。。。。。。
"You said that after Zhu Wen pacified Xuzhou, how about I named him the king of Liang?"
After a polo game, Li Ye was also sweating profusely, and the palace maid next to him hurriedly wiped the sweat on his face with a clean silk sweat towel. Perhaps seeing that the palace maid's movements were too slow, Li Ye directly took the sweat towel and wiped it indiscriminately before putting it down, and then asked Li Sizhou next to him.
Hearing that Zhu Wen was going to be canonized as the king of Liang, Li Sizhou was a little shocked, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, isn't this inappropriate?" Doesn't this make others think that the imperial court is afraid of Zhu Wen? ”
"Then King Qin, what do you think will be the reaction of Zhu Wen if he is really canonized as the King of Liang?" Li Ye asked with a smile.
"Naturally, it is more arrogant and has no one 。。。。。 in sight" Speaking of this, Li Sizhou suddenly realized, "Your Majesty wants Zhu Wen to bring about his own destruction?" But isn't that a bit too risky? His Majesty wanted to use Zhu Wen's hand to pacify the feudal towns in the Central Plains, but after pacifying these feudal towns, Zhu Wen's strength is bound to be even stronger, and the imperial court may be difficult to suppress at that time. ”
"So we have to find a way to clean up Zhu Wen, at the regular court meeting in two days, you are responsible for putting forward the agenda, and I am going to transfer the Right Shence Army and the Right Tiance Army back, and I need these two armies to clean up Zhu Wen." Li Ye said.
"Your Majesty, what about the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate? The repatriation of these two forbidden armies may not be able to deter the Uighurs and Tibetans in Hexi. Li Sizhou said worriedly.
"Let the Left Shence Army and the Right Shenwu Army go to Hexi, and let these two forbidden armies go to Hexi to sharpen themselves." Li Ye thought for a while and said.
"Got it!"
"There is no hurry in this matter, so as not to be suspected by Zhu Wen." Saying that, Li Ye suddenly changed his words, "King Qin, what do you think if I hold a polo tournament?" ”
