Chapter 85 Luzhou

"What is the situation on the front line of the Huai River?" Jack Ma asked.? The defeat of the Shu army and Ding Sijin's southward retreat were all expected by Ma Yun, and the only thing he couldn't imagine, or what he didn't want to imagine, was the Eastern Front. In the first battle of Bianjing, the army of the Eastern Front was almost wiped out except for Zhu Yuan's troops, and the entire Huainan was almost undefended, and the door was completely opened. The white-clothed army went south, to what extent, this... This is definitely not something that Jack Ma can avoid.

Although Zhao Pu didn't raise his head, he could still feel that His Majesty the Emperor had been staring at him, Ma Yun was no longer an ignorant teenager 9 years ago, and his reply just now obviously did not satisfy Ma Yun. Zhao Pusi pondered for a moment, and finally spoke: "Your Majesty, after the white-clothed army defeated our army in the east of the Bianhe River, the main cavalry force was divided into two routes, one led by Zhang Yongde, and the other led by Zhao Kuangyin. Whereas... And Zhang Yongde's department quickly went south, and successively broke Suzhou, Sizhou and other places. After the defeat, rumors spread, in order to protect His Majesty and the defeated army retreated south, Shi Wansong collected a large number of civilian ships in Sizhou, and the result... As a result, it was captured by the white-clothed army, Zhang Yongde crossed the Huai River overnight, Haozhou (now east of Bengbu, Anhui) and Chuzhou (near Chuxian County, Anhui) were broken, Huainan was plundered by the white-clothed army, the houses were burned, the treasury was robbed, the people panicked, refugees were scattered, and the ten rooms in Haozhou were empty. ”

"Whew..." Ma Yun exhaled fiercely, and his head was dazed for a while. The reason why Haozhou and other places were so easily broken by the white-clothed army was not because they had withdrawn the Huainan army, except for the famous towns of Yangzhou and Shouzhou (near Hefei, Anhui Province), all of them were paper paste and mud tires, which could be broken when stabbed.

Why did the white-clothed army love the people in Guanzhong and plunder it when they arrived in Huainan? The reason is very simple, with the current strength of the Zhou army, it is simply impossible to take Huainan from the hands of the Chu State (in the Battle of Dangshan, the Chu army killed 80,000 Zhou soldiers, and in the Battle of Bianjing, the white-clothed army killed nearly 70,000 Chu troops. Since it can't be occupied, it won't play much role even if you love the people, so it's better to burn, kill and loot, at least cause a big trouble to the Chu State and leave a big burden.

Seeing Ma Yun's expression of loss and grief, Zhao Pu said with relief: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the white-clothed army has retreated." They stayed in Huainan for 5 days, and because of Guo Wei's death, they crossed the Huai River to the north again, and the land of Huainan had been recovered by our army. ”

What was recovered, it was obviously because Guo Wei hung up, and the Zhou army was unwilling to stay in Huainan in the labor division, so he gave up Haozhou and other places. Ma Yun sighed and asked, "How did Guo Wei die?" Now Guo Rong is the emperor? ”

Zhao Pu saw that Ma Yun was no longer pursuing Huainan's affairs, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and replied: "Your Majesty, since the beginning of autumn this year, Guo Wei's health has been poor, and we were a while ago... Zhao Pu paused for a moment and avoided: "A while ago, Guo Wei overworked again, and he was already terminally ill. Although Wang Quanbin did not take the inner city, this fright made Guo Wei completely ill, and the gold stone was invalid, and he died after two days. ”

Zhao Pu continued: "After Guo Wei died, he left a legacy and passed on the throne to Guo Rong, the puppet king of the Jin Dynasty. After Guo Rong got the news, he took the throne in Songzhou, and then issued an edict to recall Zhang Yongde and Zhao Kuangyin, and returned to Bianjing under their escort. ”

Ma Yun thought for a moment and asked, "Where is Li Chongjin?" ”

Zhao Pu glanced at Ma Yun, he understood what Ma Yun meant, after Guo Wei hung up, there were only two people who were eligible to inherit the throne in Pseudo-Zhou: Li Chongjin and Guo Rong. These two people are Guo Wei's only two relatives. Ma Yun probably hopes that Li Chongjin will jump out to compete for the throne. Zhao Pu said: "Your Majesty, when Guo Rong returned to Bianjing, it was Li Chongjin who led hundreds of officials to greet him. ”

"Oh." Jack Ma was silent.

"Zhao Aiqing, you immediately write a letter to Liu Chong in Hedong for me, and tell him to be careful. At present, it is best for him to retreat to Hedong, and wait for our strength to recover next year, and then send troops from the north and south together. Ma Yun thought for a while and spoke. According to the original history, as soon as Guo Wei died, Liu Chong felt that he was the boss in the world, and jumped out to fight for the country, but Guo Rong drove the expedition in person, not only defeated Liu Chong, but also swept away the old capital of Hedong; and also greatly improved his prestige, opening the curtain of Guo Rong's consecutive victories in his lifetime. Although the situation is different now, Ma Yun is still clear that if the Chu army does not send troops, Hedong may have to go down the old road of history again.

Zhao Pu shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, this time Liu Chong borrowed 30,000 horses from the Khitan, if... If he returned directly without a battle, Liu Chong probably would not agree. What's more, there was a spy who reported that Liu Chong knew that after Guo Wei's death, he was in a very good mood, and urged the army to attack the city again and again, but he didn't take Guo Rong and others in his eyes at all. Your Majesty is writing a letter now, and the minister thinks that Liu Chong may not be sure to listen to persuasion! ”

Ma Yun pressed the bamboo bed with one hand and wanted to sit up, but Zhang Qian next to him saw it and hurriedly helped him: "Your Majesty, what are you going to do, I'll help you do it." ”

Ma Yun smiled bitterly: "Qian'er, help me up, I want to sit." Zhao Aiqing, you go and bring the map and tell me about the movements of the Han army, let's think of a way to reserve some capital for Hedong! ”

Seeing that Ma Yun was focused on his work and obsessed with building a strong feudal country, Zhang Qian was worried and dissatisfied: "Your Majesty, you just woke up not long ago, you have to rest well, wait for two days to have the spirit, is it not too late to think of a way?" ”

Ma Yun smiled and patted Zhang Qian's arm gently: "Hey, Qian'er, if the white-clothed army wants to march like the previous two days, I'm afraid that Liu Chong will be defeated and flee in less than two days." Liu Chong is an important pawn for us to contain the pseudo-Zhou, and he can't be weakened too ruthlessly. Otherwise, the trend of the world will really not be seen. ”

Ma Yun insisted, Zhang Qian had no choice but to help Ma Yun up, put a quilt on the back of his body, and let him lean back. On the other side, Zhao Pu brought a map and carefully explained to Ma Yun the military deployment of the Zhou and Han armies.

Liu Chong was arrogant, and there was not much secrecy in the military, and his strength was basically ascertained by the Chu State, but the defense situation of the pseudo-Zhou in Luzhou and other places was not clear. Li Yun, the assassin of Luzhou, was also a powerful general in the Zhou army, and when the enemy was outnumbered, relying on the city wall of Luzhou, Liu Chong did not take advantage of it.

Ma Yun muttered: "How can I give Liu Chong face again and let him return to Hedong?" ”
