Chapter 440: Sending Troops to Xindu
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Zhu Fu was reprimanded by Liu Xiu, and he was completely honest, and he didn't dare to say anything more about Jia Fu. Liu Xiu planned to take Wu Han and Jia Fu to Zhending the next day, but in the afternoon, Choshi sent Liu Xiu a piece of information. The five counties of Xindu County, including Biyang, Gaoti, Pingti, Lixian, and Guangchuan, jointly sent troops to the county capital of Xindu. Liu Xiu read this information and felt quite inexplicable, the five counties of Xindu County jointly sent troops to attack the county seat, what was going on
?
Choshi said: "My lord, it is reported that Xindu is too shou Ren Guang, Du Wei Li Zhong, and Xindu Ling Wan Xuan (xiu), refusing to submit to Wang Lang.
Wang Lang immediately sent Chen Yi, the general of Wuwei, to gather troops from five counties including Piyang, totaling more than 6,000 people, and sent a letter to the capital, wanting to annihilate Ren Guang, Li Zhong, Wan Xuan and others in one fell swoop! ”
Liu Xiu showed a look of sudden realization, he pondered for a moment, and said, "Immediately summon all the generals to come to our place to discuss this matter." ”
Choshi said yes and walked away quickly.
After half an hour, Liu Xiu's generals came one after another. When everyone came, Liu Xiu told everyone about the changes that happened in Xindu County.
Xindu County is on the east side of Julu County, adjacent to Julu County, and Zhencheng, where Liu Xiu and others are located, is not too far from Xindu City.
After listening to Liu Xiu's words, Deng Yu touched his chin and said: "Since Ren Guang and the others refuse to accept Wang Lang's appeasement, they must be on our side. ”
Feng Yi said worriedly: "What if there is fraud in it? ”
If this is a double reed deliberately performed by Wang Lang, deliberately deceiving himself into Xindu County, and rashly sending troops, wouldn't he fall for other people's tricks?
What Deng Yu said makes sense, if Ren Guang and others are really on their side, and now they are in trouble, and they have no reason not to rescue. But Feng Yi's concerns are not unreasonable, who dares to guarantee that this is not a ploy used by Wang Lang?
Kou Sui blinked, turned his head to look at Geng Chun and Liu Zhi, and asked, "Boshan, Boxian, do you know anything about this Ren Taishou?" ”
Although Geng Chun and Liu Zhi are not from Xindu, the two are from Julu, not far from Xindu, and they should also know something about the situation in Xindu County. Geng Chun and Liu Zhi glanced at each other, the former frowned slightly, and said slowly: "Ren Guang was originally from Wancheng, Nanyang, when Wang Mang was in power, he was just a small county official in Wancheng County, and later Wancheng was forced, Ren Guang surrendered with Cen Peng, and he was supposed to be killed
was beheaded, but was rescued by Liu Ci, and then served under Liu Ci. Later, Chang'an and Luoyang broke down one after another, and Liu Xuan sent Ren Guang to Xindu, and he was too conservative to keep the letter. ”
In fact, many officials in Hebei were appointed by Liu Xuan, but here in Hebei, the emperor is far away, and Liu Xuan's control over Hebei is not strong.
There were many rebel armies in Hebei, the soldiers were in chaos, and the people were not able to make a living, so Liu Xuan sent Liu Xiu to pacify Hebei.
Geng Chun's words provided a clear message to everyone, that is, Ren Guangtaishou's official position was canonized by Liu Xuan.
That is to say, now Ren Guang does not accept Wang Lang's appeasement, even if there is no fraud in it, this matter is true, it does not mean that Ren Guang is willing to take refuge in Liu Xiu, and the object of loyalty to the Xindu County Government is Liu Xuan.
None of the people present were fools, and after Geng Chun's words were finished, they understood the sound of his words.
Wang Lang is certainly his enemy, but Liu Xuan is by no means an ally of his own, so it would be good if he could not stab himself in the back.
For Ren Guang, who is likely to be loyal to Liu Xuan, whether he should save it or not, this is indeed a very headache.
People looked at each other, and finally their eyes fell on Liu Xiu's face to see what Liu Xiu's opinion was.
Liu Xiu pondered for a moment and said meaningfully: "Right now, our biggest enemy is Wang Lang, as long as he is Wang Lang's enemy, then he is our friend, and our army will immediately rush to the aid of Xindu!" ”
Now we shouldn't care whether Ren Guang is on Liu Xuan's side or on his side, since Wang Lang is everyone's common enemy, they should unite together to fight Lang together.
The elimination of Wang Lang is an urgent priority, and as for the grievances and grievances between him and Liu Xuan, they can be left for later.
Deng Yu nodded and praised: "The lord is wise!" Our army should rescue the city of Sinto! ”
Kou Sui seconded: "Although Xindu is a small county, if we can take Xindu County in one fell swoop, we can dispel the troubles in our eastern region!" ”
Deng Yu and Kou Sui, two resourceful men, supported the rescue of Xindu, and the others no longer raised objections. Wu Han immediately bowed his hand to Liu Xiu and said: "Lord, the last general is willing to lead his soldiers to send troops to rescue Xindu City!" ”
As soon as Wu Han's voice fell, Ma Wu and Wang Ba arched their hands and said almost at the same time: "Lord, the last general is willing to go!" ”
Liu Xiu pondered for a while and said, "I need to go to this battle in person." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Deng Yu and said, "Zhonghua can stay in Zhencheng on my behalf." ”
At present, Liu Xiujun's grain, grass, and baggage are almost all hoarded in Zhencheng, and for Liu Xiu, Zhencheng is naturally very important, and there can be no mistakes.
Handed over Zhencheng to others to guard, Liu Xiu was not very relieved, and after thinking about it, he still felt that Deng Yu was the most suitable. Kou Sui said: "Lord, there is Jingwu in the west of Zhencheng, and Xiliang in the east, these two counties are still controlled by Wang Lang, and the threat to Zhencheng is too great
Hidden dangers, and at the same time, it can also play a covering role for the lord to lead the army into Xindu County. ”
After Liu Xiu heard this, he thought it was true. He nodded again and again and said, "Ziyi is reasonable. He looked around at the crowd and asked, "Who is willing to take Jingwu and who is willing to take Xiliang?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Geng Chun and Liu Zhi both arched their hands and said, "The last general is willing to go!" ”
Seeing that it was Geng Chun and Liu Zhi who took the initiative to invite Ying, Liu Xiu smiled and asked, "Boshan, Boxian, are you two sure?" ”
Geng Chun and Liu Zhi Zhengse said: "If the last general can't win, I am willing to go back to see the lord!" ”
Liu Xiu nodded, and asked Geng Chun and Liu Zhi to lead their troops to fight Jingwu and Xiliang, Liu Xiu was still very relieved. First of all, the two of them have an old and stable temperament, and they are not greedy for merit, if they are not sure, they will not take the initiative to invite Ying to fight.
Secondly, and most importantly, Geng Chun and Liu Zhi are both natives of Julu, and they are both from the Dashi clan, and they have a high prestige in Julu County and a wide range of contacts.
In Liu Xiu's view, with the talents of Geng Chun and Liu Zhizhi, it is not difficult to take Jingwu and Xiliang counties.
He nodded and said, "Okay, Boshan can lead his troops to capture Jingwu, and Boxian can lead his troops to capture Xiliang." ”
"The last general obeys!" Geng Chun and Liu Zhi intervened in the ceremony.
Liu Xiu looked at the other generals and said, "Jun Weng, Juqing, stay in Zhencheng with Zhonghua!" ”
Zang Gong and Gai Yan both intervened and said, "The last general obeys the order!" ”
Liu Xiu successively issued orders and quickly made arrangements.
Geng Chun led the 2,000 Geng family troops under his command to attack Jingwu; Liu Zhi led the 2,000 Liu family army under his command to attack Xiliang; Deng Yu, Zang Gong, and Gai Yan commanded 4,000 soldiers and horses, and stayed in Zhencheng; Liu Xiu and the rest of the soldiers went to Xindu County.
Although Xiliang is very close to Zhencheng, only dozens of miles apart, Xiliang is located in Xindu County, while Zhencheng is located in Julu County, and the two counties are divided into two counties.
When Liu Zhi led his army to Western Liang, Liu Xiubu followed.
It seems that Liu Zhibu is the front army and Liu Xiubu is the rear army, and both are here to attack Xiliang. When Liu Zhi's army arrived outside the city of Xiliang, the county commander and the county lieutenant of Xiliang County were shocked and hurriedly climbed to the top of the city and looked out of the city.
Seeing Liu Zhijun of 2,000 people outside the city, the county commander and the county lieutenant both shrank their necks in fright.
The total number of troops in Xiliang City is only a few hundred, and now the enemy army that has come to attack is no less than 2,000 people, can you hold Xiliang City with only this little strength on your own?
At this time, Liu Zhi rode a war horse, walked out of the team, and went straight to Xiliang City.
Seeing this, the county soldiers at the head of the city picked up their crossbows and bows and arrows, ready to release their arrows. The county commander hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Wait! Don't let anyone shoot arrows! ”
There was only one person from the other side, and it was obvious that he was not here to attack the city. The county commander held the arrow stack in his hand, looked out, and as the visitor got closer and closer, he finally saw the other party's appearance clearly.
He knows someone, isn't this Liu Zhi and Liu Boxian? The county commander swallowed his saliva, and when Liu Zhi was only twenty meters away from the city wall, after stopping his war horse, he shouted loudly outside the city: "Is it Brother Bo Xian? ”
The name of the Xiliang County Commander is Yan Yu, and he and Liu Zhi don't have a deep friendship, but they do know each other. Liu Zhi raised his eyes to look at Yan Yu at the head of the city, and arched his hand and said, "Yan County Order, I haven't seen you for many days, don't come unharmed?" ”
Where does Yan Yu still have the heart to greet Liu Zhi and chat about family life. He grinned and asked in a trembling voice: "Why did Brother Bo Xian lead so many soldiers and horses to come to my Xiliang City?" ”
Liu Zhi laughed secretly in his heart, this Yan Yu is still pretending to be confused with himself. He said with a straight face: "Yan County Order, Zhi has now defected to my family's lord Da Sima, and the official worships the general!" ”
After a pause, he continued: "Yan County Order, Lang made a rebellion in Hebei, and after falsely claiming to be the emperor, he bewitched the people with evil words, and acted boldly and recklessly, and people of insight in the world rose up and punished him. Yan County's order is now helping to abuse, why is it wrong? ”
Yan Yu's old face turned red, spread his hands and said: "Brother Boxian, Hebei counties have defected to Handan, what can this order do?" Liu Zhi Zhengse said: "Da Sima is righteous and loyal, as long as Yan County Ling is willing to raise the city to Shun, Da Sima will not be guilty of the past, if Yan County Ling is still obsessed, ready to be loyal to Lang Thief, when Da Sima's army arrives, Yan County's order will regret it too late!"
”
When Yan Yu heard this, his body trembled, listening to the meaning of Liu Zhi's words, these soldiers and horses outside the city now are not the main force, and there is an army commanded by Liu Xiu himself behind them? He was dumbfounded for a long time.
At this moment, a spy ran up the city wall, came behind Yan Yu, intervened in the salute, and said, "My lord, Liu Xiubu is heading towards our city, and it is less than ten miles away from our city!" ”
After receiving the report from his subordinates, Yan Yu no longer dared to doubt Liu Zhi's words, he turned his head to look at the county lieutenant Li Qing, and asked with a sad face: "County lieutenant Li, how should we deal with it now?" Li Qing smiled bitterly and said weakly: "With the strength of my Xiliang County, I want to resist more than 2,000 soldiers and horses outside the city, but I can't do it, and when Liu Xiu's main army arrives, our side will be defeated, and Xiliang will be broken!" At that time, the adults and the subordinates, and even the officers and soldiers of the whole county, are only afraid of ...... It's hard to save their lives, and the people in the city are afraid that they will also suffer from the pond fish! ”
