Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Zhu Fu was defeated in Youzhou, and was led by Peng Pet to the city, and the situation was precarious. But on the Luoyang side, there are neither soldiers nor generals to send.

But Zhu Fu's trapped danger could not be saved, Liu Xiu had no choice but to recruit the county soldiers around Luoyang, scraped together 10,000 soldiers and horses, and then ordered Deng Long to lead and go to Youzhou.

Deng Long came from the Bronze Horse Army, and in front of the two armies, he was very brave in the battle, but Liu Xiu was still a little worried about his commander.

Before Deng Longlin set out on the expedition, Liu Xiu instructed him to regularly pass on Luoyang and report the military situation after he entered Youzhou.

In fact, Zhu Fu's situation in Jixian County is not as critical as he wrote in Shangshu, and with Peng Chong's troops, it is not enough to besiege the huge Jixian County.

It's just that Zhu Fu suffered defeat in the battle with Peng Pet, and in the battle report sent back to Luoyang, he deliberately exaggerated, describing Peng Pet's army as strong and strong, with many troops, and Jixian County, where he was stationed, was in danger.

Deng Long was ordered to lead the army to rescue Youzhou. 10,000 Han troops, sleeping in the open air, rushed day and night, and rushed to the area of Lucheng in Youzhou. Deng Long ordered that the whole army be stationed outside Lucheng City, about 100 miles away from Jixian County, where Zhu Fu was located. According to Deng Long's idea, his own side is stationed in Lucheng, Zhu Fu is in Jixian County, and the two sides can form a corner of each other, if Peng Pet attacks Jixian, he can kill from behind Peng Pet's army, and if Peng Pet comes to attack his own side, Zhu Fu's army can also be killed from behind the enemy. total

No matter who Peng Pet leads his army to fight, he will face the danger of being attacked from both sides. Deng Long felt that his strategy was good, and wrote a detailed tactical idea to send it back to Luoyang.

When Liu Xiu received the letter from Deng Long and read it from beginning to end, he put the letter on the table on the spot and said in a deep voice: "Nonsense! In this battle, Deng Long will be defeated! ”

In the face of a strong enemy, one's own soldiers and horses are stationed in two places, forming a situation of fighting each other, which is indeed one of the ways to deal with the enemy.

But the key point is that the distance between them is just right. And now, Deng Longjun and Zhu Fujun are more than 100 miles apart, how can they form a corner?

Whether Peng Pet went to fight Zhu Fu or Deng Long, the other side could not achieve the goal of timely reinforcements and joint operations.

Liu Xiu is an expert in warfare, a tactic is not feasible, he can roughly read it, and he can judge it in his heart.

The actual situation is indeed almost exactly the same as Liu Xiu's judgment. The camp of Peng Pet's army was still stationed near Jixian County, putting pressure on Jixian County, and Peng Pet quietly sent the main army south to Lucheng to attack Deng Long's army. When Peng Pet's army approached Lucheng, he divided a Youzhou assault of 3,000 people and circled it

Walk behind the Han army.

When Peng Pet's army launched an attack on Deng Long's army, the front was the advance of the main army, and behind the Han army, three thousand Youzhou cavalry suddenly slaughtered. In this battle, the Han army led by Deng Long was defeated by Peng Pet's army.

After Zhu Fu learned the news that Deng Long's army was attacked by the enemy, he did not delay much, and immediately led his soldiers to Lucheng for reinforcements.

It's a pity that Zhu Fu's army was only halfway through, and the battle between Peng Pet's army and Deng Long's army was over, Peng Pet's army won a complete victory, while Deng Long's army was defeated, and fled back to Lucheng in a hurry, closing the door.

Knowing that the war was over, Zhu Fu had no choice but to lead his troops to retreat.

After a battle, more than half of Deng Long's army suffered casualties, his vitality was greatly damaged, and he was no longer able to go out of the city and attack Peng Chong's army. Deng Long's tactic of forming a rivalry between Lucheng and Jixian was also a complete failure.

After this battle, Zhu Fu understood a little, Deng Longjun, his own side can no longer be counted on, and the Luoyang Imperial Court, his own side cannot be counted on, in the face of the menacing Peng Pet Army, he can only rely on self-help.

Losing the idea of asking the imperial court for rescue, Zhu Fu began to show a certain ability to command the army. He led his soldiers and horses, centered on Jixian and Yongnu, and began to set up a defensive line, posing a position of wanting to resist Peng Pet's army to the death.

Peng Pet led the army to launch a continuous attack, but each attack was blocked by the defense line personally led by Zhu Fu, Peng Pet could not attack for a long time, and the casualties of the soldiers under his command were getting bigger and bigger, and gradually the offensive became weaker and weaker.

In the end, Peng Pet's army was unable to launch a decent offensive, and Zhu Fu even retreated in the Jixian and Yongnu defense lines that he personally arranged, not daring to show his head, and the battle in Youzhou began to reach a stalemate, and the soldiers on both sides entered the stage of confrontation.

In the Battle of Youzhou, Peng Pet showed his military talent, at least in the battle to defeat Deng Long, Peng Pet's tactics were used properly, and directly thwarted Deng Long's rescue of Zhu Fu.

After the battle of Lucheng, Zhu Fu, who knew that he could no longer rely on external forces, also showed his military talent.

Let him do the offensive battle, he may not be able to fight, but his defensive battle is really good, and the Jixian and Yongnu are tightly guarded, as if they have become an iron bucket formation, so that the vigorous Peng Pet Army will not be able to attack for a long time, and the morale will be greatly frustrated.

Peng Pet's rebellion was largely forced by Zhu Fu to rebel, but Peng Pet never controlled the entire Youzhou, and Zhu Fu did play a vital role.

It can be said that Zhu Fu completely relied on his own ability to restrain Peng Pet's expansion in Jizhou.

Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and it is difficult to simply distinguish between good and bad when evaluating a person.

Zhu Fu is a loyal and dedicated person to Liu Xiu, and many of Liu Xiu's national policies for the benefit of the people have also adopted Zhu Fu's opinions.

But Zhu Fu gave Peng Pet a hard time wearing small shoes, and kept framing Peng Pet behind his back, and it seemed that he was too small-bellied, with a dark personality and despicable means.

If you only evaluate a person by good or bad, then is Zhu Fu a good person or a bad person? Deng Long, who reinforced Youzhou, was defeated by Peng Chong, and Zhu Fu, who was isolated and helpless, stabilized the situation in Youzhou with his own strength, allowing the war in Youzhou to enter the stage of stalemate, and also bought valuable time for Liu Xiu and the Luoyang court

。

Luoyang.

The aftermath of Deng Feng's rebellion continued to ferment in Luoyang City, and the more it spread, the more outrageous it became.

Many rumors say that Deng Feng's rebellion was only for Yin Lihua.

At the beginning, Deng Feng and Yin Lihua were childhood sweethearts, but His Majesty's sudden appearance snatched love, broke up the lovers, and took away Yin Lihua. Deng Feng was angry, so he was angry at the crown and rebelled in Nanyang.

Human nature is willing to believe in this kind of love story that is watered down and bloody, but full of romanticism, and it is rare to be able to gossip about the inside story of the harem, and people are willing to participate and intervene.

Rumors like these have spread into the palace. If Yin Lihua left the West Palace and walked in the palace, there were always groups of palace maids pointing behind her back and whispering.

Zhang Kun also heard the rumors and reported it to Liu Xiuyu as soon as possible. After Liu Xiu heard this, he smiled, he is the party, what is the relationship between Yin Lihua and Deng Feng, can he not know?

He looked at Zhang Kun, who was nervous, and asked with a smile: "Zhang Kun, do you also think that the relationship between Yin Guigui and Deng Feng is extraordinary?" ”

"Slaves don't dare!" Zhang Kun hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Liu Xiu smiled: "If you don't have such thoughts, why do you come to report these rumors to me?" ”

"Slave maid...... Slave ......"

"That's it! Whoever is preaching these words, I hope this is the end. In the future, I don't want to hear these gossips in the palace that damage the name of the Yin nobles. ”

"Yes! The slave has written it down! Zhang Kun said with his neck bent.

Liu Xiugang wanted to wave his hand to let Zhang Kun retreat, but suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, what have the Yin nobles been doing in the past few days?" ”

Zhang Kun hurriedly said: "The nobles stay in the West Palace most of the time and rarely go out. ”

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "I know, step down!" ”

"Slave and maid retire!" Zhang Kun bowed and withdrew from the hall.

Liu Xiu finished reviewing the few notes at hand, then stood up and walked out. Seeing Liu Xiu come out, Zhang Kun, who was guarding the door, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty! ”

"I'm going to the West Palace!" Liu Xiu walked out of the Qingliang Palace, and after walking not far away, he saw Xu Xiling walking in front with the four maids of Meilan Zhuju.

Liu Xiu quickened his pace, Zhang Kunduo was clever, and when he saw this, he immediately trotted up, caught up with Xu Xiling in front, bowed down with a smile on his face and said, "The slave has seen Xu Meiren!" ”

"Yo! It turned out to be a confessor! Xu Xiling smiled and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"He's accompanying me to the West Palace!" As he spoke, Liu Xiu walked up from behind.

Seeing Liu Xiu, Xu Xiling and the four maids blessed themselves together, "The concubine (maidservant) has seen Your Majesty!" ”

Liu Xiu waved his hand to them, signaling them to flatten, and then he asked with a smile, "Where is Xiling going?" ”

"The concubine is also going to the West Palace."

"Oh?"

"During this time, the Yin nobles were in a bad mood, and the concubines were free today, so they wanted to go to the West Palace to talk to the Yin nobles." Xu Xiling said with a smile.

After Liu Xiu heard this, his eyes brightened a little when he looked at Xu Xiling. There are few people in Liu Xiu's harem, so far, there are only three queens, Guo Shengtong, the noble Yin Lihua, and the beauty Xu Xiling.

If they can get along well, they can help Liu Xiu save a lot of thoughts and focus on government affairs. He nodded, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "It's just right, let's go to the West Palace together." ”

Xu Xiling's face was happy, he timidly held Liu Xiu's hand, and the two walked forward side by side. Liu Xiu is outside, and he rarely makes intimate moves, such as holding hands and walking together, in the palace, it is the first time for the two of them. From the Qingliang Palace to the West Palace, there is a distance, on the way I met the palace maid and the chamberlain, and when I saw Liu Xiu and Xu Xiling walking hand in hand, they knelt on the ground and were rude, and at the same time, I was secretly surprised in my heart, and I couldn't see the relationship between His Majesty and Xu Meiren

It's so good, it's really envious of others. In the past, His Majesty only walked hand in hand with the Yin nobles, it seems that there is no wind and no waves, those rumors may be true, and the Yin nobles are afraid that they are about to fall out of favor!

Liu Xiu didn't know what people were thinking, and when they arrived at the West Palace, Liu Xiu walked quickly to the main hall.

When I arrived at the door of the main hall, I happened to meet Xue Ying who came out of it, and when the latter saw Liu Xiu, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty! ”

"Yin nobles can be inside!"

"Yes! Your Majesty, please inside! After speaking, she looked at Xu Xiling who was following Liu Xiu, and said, "Xu Meiren, please!" ”

As soon as Liu Xiu and Xu Xiling walked into the main hall, Yin Lihua came out of the inner room, and she said with a blessing: "Your Majesty! ”

"Nobleman!" Xu Xiling blessed her.

After seeing each other, Liu Xiu asked, "I heard that in the past two days, Lihua has stayed in the West Palace and not gone out, but is she sick?" "The concubine is in good health." Looking at the serious Liu Xiu, Yin Lihua secretly rolled her eyes. Some time ago, she proposed to go to Nanyang to persuade Deng Feng to change her mind, but Liu Xiu did not agree, and the two had a bit of an awkward quarrel.
