20. Cover the Fushan Pass

On the city of Chang'an, a round of autumn moon came out of the clouds, the clear light sprinkled on the long street, thousands of households were silent, the official street drums of each square had not yet sounded, Gao Yue was dressed in court clothes, riding on the snow to return to his house, a little morning dew stained on his sleeves, and he couldn't help but feel a little chilly.

When he arrived in front of the corner of Pingkangfang, Gao Yue felt hungry in his belly, and subconsciously looked there, but there was no more fires and lanterns set up by An Lao Hu'er, and there were no bursts of white-hot air coming out of steamed Hu'er.

"Alas, I have to go back to the house and let Ah Nizhi make breakfast." Gao Yue touched his empty abdomen and thought so.

In front of the majestic Tongguan, at sunrise, the Yellow River of the huge dragon is here from north to east, the mighty river meander, the appearance of Fenglingdu is vaguely visible, the foot riding of the three thousand gods and dragons and horses, holding the banner, marching along the pass in procession, the forward will soon go to the Pujin Ban, and then bury the stove here to cook, the soldiers every ten, around the stove fire, unload the bags from the ten pack horses, and then take their respective pottery bowls and clay kettles in the steaming heat, scoop up the broth with a spoon and dagger from the inside, and eat it with wheat rice.

Shang Kegu was very cautious and immediately rushed to the riverside, looking at the majestic and beautiful Leishou Mountain (Zhongtiao Mountain) behind Puzhou City on the opposite bank, its peaks were covered with clouds, extremely beautiful, but Shang Kegu had no intention of enjoying the scenery, but let the marching Sima constantly urge his subordinates to eat, and crossed the Puban Bridge into the city early.

Puban Bridge, with boats as beams, with bamboo ropes to pull it, the shape is extremely prosperous, for the huge defense of the Guanhe River, three thousand gods of the dragon and the children of the dragon pass on it, listen to the roar of the Yellow River under the feet and the horse's hooves, but also a little nervous.

In front of the Dashun Temple in the east of the city, the children of the 5,000 Fenghua army were all lined up.

Hun Yang will Chang'an Zhongshu sent from the hall to unfold, knowing that this expedition to Linhao, Zhongshu Lang Gao Yuequan entrusted him as a solicitor, commanding the Hedong Fengcheng Army, Shence Longxiang Army and Zelu Zhaoyi Army Wang Qianxiu Department, in addition to Gao Yue also said to Hun Yang in the hall, the former six cities water transport envoy Wang Shao for the military envoy, money, silk, grain and straw have been in place, all the changes in the battle array are cheaply disposed of by the Hun servants, no need to report - the court has only one goal, that is, to pacify the three states of Ding, Xing, and Ci, if the Hun servants really encounter difficulties, You can discuss with Niu Yi, the military envoy of Hezhong Prefecture, and report to the imperial court, and I, Gao Yue, will discuss with Your Majesty as soon as possible, and make every effort to solve it at full speed.

But Gao Yue was also in the hall, and granted Hun Yang a strategy to attack Linshuo, that is, "the five states of the Zhaoyi Army of Zelu, according to the key points of Shandong, are connected by Hebei, and only in this way, the three states of Ci, Xing, and Hao enter the belly of the three towns of Heshuo, where the national discipline is, and it is really safe", and now Yuanyi is trying to divide these three states, then the Zhaoyi Army will lose its source of wealth, and it will not be able to play the role of monitoring Heshuo, so it must be pacified vigorously and resolutely, and the opportunity is to "surprise and blitz the mouth of the pot; Attack the heart first, in order to seek the whole land".

At this time, Li Baozhen's son Li Xuan, who had fled to Luoyang, the eastern capital, also came to Hunyang's military palace, and the emperor not only forgave his sins, but also promoted his official position to Liupinningzhou, and his father's mansion purchased in the eastern capital was also retained, the purpose was to let Li Mian play the protagonist of the "heart" of Linhuan.

Then Hun Yang sat down and deployed to the generals and subordinates present:

Li Ziliang's Hedong Fengcheng Army, out of 3,000 paces, according to Yangquan, out of the Jingcheng Pass, with Yi Ding's Yiwu Army to stay behind Zhang Shengyun (Zhang Xiaozhong's son), Wang Wujun of the Chengde Army to watch, saving this old fox also came to Zhaozhou to intervene;

To the south of Zelu, Li Yuanchun, the envoy of the three cities of Heyang in Henan, led 5,000 soldiers to repair the army, monitor the movements of Weibo Town, and prevent it from coming west to aid Linhaocheng;

This Dao and General Shang Ke Gu, combined 8,000 troops, crossed the Wuling Road, rushed to Luzhou Town, and after adjourning with Wang Qian, he hurried out of Huguan and Fukou, and attacked Linwei City.

After the arrangement was completed, Hun Ying said that he would leave the division immediately and should not be delayed.

However, on the surface, Hun Yang also asked his secretary Lu Lun to replace him, plus Li Mian's signature, wrote a letter, and sent it to Linhao City.

Ten days later, the letter was sent to the city, after Yuanyi opened it, he saw the signatures of Hun Xuan and Li Xuan, and knew that it was the imperial court with Hun Xuan as the commander and Li Mian as the banner, and wanted to recruit himself. But who wanted to be bribed by Wang Yangui (Wang Qianxiu) to bribe the prime minister and nobles, and he took the lead. I don't accept it, only today's matter, now the court to Hun Shizhong as a solicitor, I am afraid of using troops against me, now only Wei Bo's Tian Xu can save here, you go to Weizhou day and night, ask Tian Xu to send troops to reject Hun Shizhong. ”

When the Marquis of Yuanyi had just ridden east, the emperor again sent the fifth envoy Shouyi, who also came to the city of Linhao, saying that he would read out His Majesty's proclamation.

Yuan Yi sat on the bed in the house and asked the fifth Shouyi to read it in front of all the soldiers.

The fifth Shouyi unfolded the hemp paper, and the general meaning was to warn Yuanyi, Li Wentong, Xiahou Zhongxuan and other Shandong generals of the Zhaoyi Army, let go of their suspicions about the imperial court, and do not engage in secession, as long as you are willing to submit, Your Majesty will immediately give money and silk 150,000 yuan, and all military generals will also be added to the ranks.

Immediately, everyone in the palace was clamoring, Yuan Yi got up, stretched out his hand, and signaled everyone to be quiet, and then he said angrily to the fifth Shouyi: "What we originally asked for was the festival of the Zhaoyi Army, but now Your Majesty is determined not to do so, and you have to give it to Wang Yangui; Then I hope that Your Majesty can open a mansion and build a house independently in Sanzhou, but Your Majesty will not allow it. This kind of court, there is no need for me to be equally loyal! From now on, we will not follow the rules of Chang'an, only the rules of Heshuo, and follow Wei Shuai! ”

The so-called Wei Shuai is Tian Xu.

So Li Wentong and other generals present also responded with their arms and said, "Go to Wei Shuai and plan a good future for me." ”

The fifth Shouyi knew that this group of Zhaoyi troops had been guarding Sanzhou for several years, and their thinking had also been "Heshuoized", and they were about to mutiny at every turn, so they also hoped to admonish Yuanyi.

However, Yuanyi waved his hand resolutely, and a group of soldiers stepped forward and drove the fifth Shouyi out of the military palace in Linwei City.

"Pass the order down, complete the city defense, and prepare to divert water into the moat to hold on." As a result, as soon as Yuanyi gave this order, several people crawled with him, crouched under the military office, and reported to him:

At the mouth of the mouth, at the mouth of the mouth, a large number of imperial court officials and military flags appeared.

"Whose subordinates?" Yuanyi was terrified.

"The king of Xianning County, Hun is in the waiting."

Damn, it turned out that the letter of surrender was nothing more than a smoke bomb, and Hun Xuan's army set off with the letter.

Yuan Yi was caught off guard, and at this time, another Marquis Yu hurriedly rode over, also lying under the military office, "Xingzhou Assassin Shi Ma Zhengqing has surrendered the official army." ”

"Damn!" Yuanyi was furious and frightened at the same time.
