Chapter 41: False Names
Pei should make You Yao take over the history of Qinzhou and go to Dinglong. As soon as the soldiers and horses were dispatched, Wang Gong had an urgent message from the east, reporting an earth-shattering news.
On the obscure day of May this year, with the support of hundreds of officials in Xiangguo, Shi Le proclaimed himself King of Zhao and sent an envoy to inform Pingyang.
Pei should have retribution, couldn't help but slap the table, and laughed: "This slave has really been made!" β
In the original history, after the death of Liu Congxu, Jin Zhun made a rebellion, killed Liu Cang and took Pingyang himself, so Liu Yao and Shi Le attacked and destroyed the Jin family. Immediately, Liu Yao usurped the throne, and wanted to add Shile Dazai and the general, worship King Zhao, and suspect that Shile would attack him, and beheaded his envoy and destroyed the previous agreement. After Shi Le returned to Xiangguo, he heard about this and was furious:
ββ¦β¦ The rise of the emperor, how can it be normal? King Zhao and Emperor Zhao took it alone, and the size of their name was controlled by others! β
So he called himself a general, a great single Yu, and a leader of Jizhou, that is, he built a palace in Xiangguo, that is, the throne of Zhao.
On the surface, it seems that Liu Yao is sorry for Shi Le, and Shi Le is completely provoked by the other party, so he rebels - but this is not necessarily the case.
On that day, the two heroes of the east and west attacked the Jin family, although Liu Yao's strength was not as good as Shi Le, but in terms of fame, he was above Shi Le, and he should be the commander of the coalition army, but Shi Le had no intention of obeying orders. Immediately, the Jin family was in civil strife, Jin Ming and Jin Kang killed Jin Zhun and surrendered to Liu Yao, when Liu Yao had usurped the emperor's throne, that is, he was allowed to ask. Shi Le was furious when he heard the news, and was angry that the Jin clan refused to surrender to him, but joined forces with Shi Hu and continued to attack Pingyang.
- The armillary sphere is the instrument of Si Tian, and the musical instruments are used by the royal family, all of which were plundered from Luoyang at the beginning.
If Liu Yao's strength was sufficient, he should have turned his face with Shi Le on the spot. But this guy refused to declare his guilt at first, in order to stabilize the prestige of his new emperor, and on the premise of knowing that he could not beat the other party, he broke the contract and made a foolish move, which gave Shi Le an excuse to stand on his own feet in vain.
Therefore, Shi Le's rebellion against the Han is the inevitable result of ambition and strength reaching a certain level, and as for Liu Yao's attitude towards him, it is just a fuse, or rather an excuse that can be used.
In this timeline, ambition aside, Shiler's momentum is enough to stand on its own. He has already obtained Ji, Erzhou, and the western part of Sizhou, expelled Liu Kun, defeated the Duan clan, captured Jicheng in one go, and obtained half of Youzhou, the strength is strong, and there is no right in the world - on the Jin Dynasty, Dezu Ti and Pei Gai are united, and they are his opponents, and they are not as good as a separate family. So now that he has come to this position, how long can he be a Hanchen?
The key is that the momentum of Hu and Han is much smaller and weaker than in the original history, not only Guanzhong is obtained by Pei Cai, but also Hedong is invaded by Zhen, Hanoi is half in the hands of Zu Li, Liu Cong and Liu Yao are owned, but only one and a half counties, and they also hinder each other and fight endlessly. Who is willing to convince such a court? Pei Caixin said that he was in a different place, and I didn't want this kind of pig teammate.
Even if Shi Lezhen is getting stronger and stronger in Jin and still wants to join hands with Pingyang to fight the enemy, the generals under his command may not have the heart to go further - even if they are replaced by Cao Cao and Sima father and son, if they are allowed to live for a few more years, they may also "obey the heavens" and usurp the throne in advance.
Moreover, Wang Gong had a secret report before, saying that Cheng Yao and others were connecting with each other and were inciting Shi Le to be the king, and he also expressed his credit and said that he also had his own plans and powers. So Liu Yao promised to seal Shile Zhao Wang, but Liu Cong did not allow it, just like in the original history, it became the main excuse for Shile's arrogance.
In his secret letters, Wang Gong explained very clearly the affairs of the East. He said that Shi Le and Kong Chang had defeated the Duan clan before, and Duan Piyan was forced to retreat to the east of Wuzhong and set up a defensive line again, but Shi Le immediately returned Duan Shu's army and made an agreement with him. The Duan clan had no power to counterattack for the time being, so they had to accept the alliance, and as a result, the richest place in Youzhou, west of the Yan Kingdom, fell into the hands of Shi Le.
Before that, Liu Kun had already gone to Liaodong first, passing through Xu Wu, and Duan Xiu sent Liu Qun, who had fallen into the hands of Duan Moqi, to the army, and reaffirmed the alliance. Xu Wu belongs to Beiping County, to the east is Liaoxi County, and then east is Changli County - Emperor Xianning of the Jin Dynasty in the second year, divided into the east of Youzhou Changli, Xuansu, Liaodong, Lelang, and Daifang five counties for Pingzhou, the current Pingzhou Thorn Shi is Wang Jun's wife and uncle Cui Yu.
Cui Yu is the grandson of Cui Yan, a famous scholar of the Han Dynasty, a descendant of the Cui family of Qinghe, who thinks very highly of himself, and is pastored in Pingzhou by Wang Jun, so he cedes the land and is self-sufficient. Thinking that Wang Jun was attacked and killed by Shile back then, Duan repeatedly pleaded with Cui Yu to recapture Youzhou and avenge Wang Jun, but Cui Yu refused to send troops under the pretext of Goguryeo's invasion.
The invasion of Goguryeo is not pure falsehood. This northeastern regime, which has always refused to accept the king, was defeated twice by the Wei general Biqiu Jian in the first five and six years of Cao Wei's reign, fell to his capital pill mountain, and drove his king Yu Wofu. However, after Cao Wei retreated, Goguryeo soon made a comeback, and in the autumn and August of the fifth year of Yongjia, they took advantage of the great chaos in the Central Plains to attack the Pingcheng city of Xi'an, which belonged to Liaodong, and cut off the road to Lelang and Daifang two counties. Then in the winter of the seventh year of Yongjia, he invaded Lelang and captured more than 2,000 men and women; In the autumn of the second year of Jianxing, he invaded the belt.
Therefore, when Cui Yu went to office, he only had the command of the three counties of Liaodong, Xuansu, and Changli - among them, Pei Wu, the guard of Xuansu County, died in office, and his younger brother, Pei Wei, the guard of Changli County, was suspended as an official and went south.
Whether the specific two counties of Lelang and Daifang have fallen into the hands of Goguryeo, or whether there are still officials and people of the Jin State who are sticking to it, even Wang Gong has not been able to find out the specific information. However, the prince gave a lot of vision, that is, he made a suggestion in the letter, saying that during the Three Kingdoms, Sun Wu used a large ship to carry envoys and supplies, and went north by sea to contact Gongsun Yuan, who had seized Liaodong; And check the geography, from the north of Huangxian County in Donglai to Ma Shijin of Liaodong County, but only 400 miles of water, and from the east of Dongmu City to the south of Daifang County, it is also twice the distance, you can try to send people to go by sea to find out the truth.
Xuzhou has a water division, and it has united many Jiangzuo wealthy businessmen, and the journey goes straight to Youzhou. Wang Gong meant that the Great Sima could issue an edict to Huaihai to engage in Wei Xun, ordering him to send a few ships to Pingzhou in the name of developing new trade routes, and to make a slight detour to Pingzhou - "Ships and ships come and go, although the clouds and waves are unpredictable, but now the land is not a smooth road; If you can detect the inside of Liaodong and the belt by sea, it will be much faster than by land. Otherwise, it will take more than a month for the minister to report the matter of Liaodong, and the minister will report to Chang'an, and it will be nearly a month, and it will be difficult to plan a countermeasure whenever there is an emergency......"
Pull back and say that Cui Yu is only sitting on the defensive side in Pingzhou, and he doesn't dare to fight with Goguryeo at all, but fortunately, Goguryeo is also committed to the two counties in the southeast, and has not yet invaded Liaodong on a large scale, but will come to loot every autumn and winter.
This time, Liu Kun left the east, and after arriving in Pingzhou, he sent someone to contact Cui Yu and ask him to accept the leadership. However, Cui Yu had no plan for the foreign war, and had the courage to fight the civil war, and Chen Bing was between Changli and Bintu to stop Liu Kun. Liu Kun's remnants were difficult to overcome, so he ordered Wen Qiao to ask for help from the Xianbei Murong Department.
Murong Diao was attacking the Yuwen Ministry, and it is said that he had won a series of battles and penetrated deep into his realm, so he did not have time to help Liu Kun, so he sent a staff officer and a native of Beiping to "relieve the fight between the two families". In the end, under pressure, Cui Yu let Liu Kun enter Xiema in Bintu County, while still setting up a fortress between Yiwulu and Qingshan to protect Changli.
ββFor this part of the information, Pei Cai specially invited Pei Wei to help explain, after all, the old gentleman used to be the Taishou of Changli, and he was very familiar with the local geography.
So since Liu Kun fled and the Duan clan retreated, the pressure on Shile's north was reduced, and the generals took advantage of this opportunity to lash out and ask Shile to claim the title of king......
ββββββββββ
In fact, Shi Le also hesitated for more than a month about whether to claim the title of king, and he really couldn't make up his mind.
Shi Le's strategic vision was much stronger than that of most of the generals under his command, and he knew that although his territory was large and there were many soldiers and horses, he had not yet been carefully integrated, and his actual combat ability had to be put under a big question mark. Previously, Pei Gai showed his strength in Guanxi, Zu Ti continued to consolidate the territory between Yan, Yu and Si, and even when Su Jun attacked Cao Wei, Shi Le could not send troops in time to mix with it, the reason was that there was a shortage of grain, and it was difficult for the army to go on an expedition.
Cheng Yao once told him: "If the valley of three years can be accumulated in a good year, then the famine year can be used without worry." "The problem is that since Shile entered Hebei, he has not caught up with the three harvests, and during this time, he has occupied and conquered Youzhou, and almost all the little money he has accumulated has been used up.
Therefore, it was necessary to make the Pingyang regime continue to exist in order to resist Pei Gai and tie up Zu Ti, so that Shi Le could accumulate steadily in Xiangguo. If he tore his face with Pingyang at this juncture, causing Hu Shi to completely collapse, maybe he would face the army of Pei and Zu together, and it would be quite difficult to resist.
Although Zhang Jing and others repeatedly persuaded us, saying that we just hope that you will be the king of Hebei, not to mention that the traitor Han is self-reliant, you can still be a minister of the emperor and the Han, and with the current situation of the emperor and the Han, he does not dare to take the initiative to break with you, what is there to worry about? However, people's hearts are difficult to guess, Shi Le did not dare to guarantee that once he claimed the title of king, Liu Cong and Liu Yao could not hesitate to recognize, and after the recognition, the formation was not chaotic, the heart was not guilty, and they could still resist the enemy.
It's just that nearly seventy percent of the hundreds of officials are begging to be king, and this rate is still rising day by day, and it is really inconvenient for Shile to disobey the will of the people. After all, he was just the prince of a county under Hu Han, and he didn't have a high enough position to raise his prestige, so he couldn't still basically and firmly grasp the hearts of his subordinates under the premise of rebelling against the will of the group.
He hesitated and hesitated for this, and often summoned Zhang Bin, Cheng Yao, Zhang Jing and others to come to discuss. Zhang Bin's point of view is very close to Shi Le, and he also feels that the time has not yet come to be king, but since the hundred bureaucrats are invited, it is not appropriate to go against the grain.
Zhang Mengsun planned the general trend of the world for Shi Le, saying: "The monarchs and ministers of Pingyang are fighting, and their momentum is difficult to revive, and sooner or later they will be destroyed by Pei and Zu." The Duke of Ming should make General Ji Long stabilize the government of the state, and take advantage of the danger of Taixing to stop Pei Wenyue, so that he will not be troubled by Hebei for the time being. Then first set the disgust, eradicate the thief on the side of Shao Sizu, and then fund Cao Wei, so that Yu Su Jun can rely on the river to become a solid momentum.
"If we can settle on the river before the fall of Binh Duong, the situation will be in my favor. Once Pei Wenyue marched to Pingyang, the Ming Duke could cross the river and attack Yanzhou, defeat Zu Li first, and then threaten Luoyang......"
Shi Le then asked Cheng Yao separately, saying that with the current situation, if I use soldiers, which one should come first? Cheng Ziyuan replied without thinking: "You should be tired of the times, and continue to chase Shao." Schle nodded, and then asked, "Where will we go from here?" First chase Liu Yueshi, or Pei Wenyue and Zu Shizhi? β
Cheng Yao replied: "Liu Kun has several defeated troops, and there is nothing he can do. Ming Gong wants to determine the world, it is easy first and then difficult, but there is still a Duan clan in the west of Youzhou, if Liu Kun is chased, the Duan clan needs to be defeated first, and if the Duan clan unites Yuwen and Murong, and the imperial army, it is not easy to win - that is, the land of Youdong and Pingzhou, there are few people in the distance, and the gains outweigh the losses. The Northeast can be left aside for the time being, and after overcoming the disgust, it is appropriate to forge ahead in Yanzhou......"
First, it is indeed close to Yanzhou, and second, Xuzhou is Pei Gai's old territory, and Cheng Yao and Pei should have a secret agreement, for fear that Pei should be forced to be anxious and completely bring out the dealings between the two sides...... Sooner or later, he will have to break up with Pei Cai, but Zhang Bin has not fallen, and it is not the right time-
"Pei should be far away and the ancestor is close, since he should seek the ancestor first, and after the Central Plains is settled, he will compete with Pei in the west."
Speaking of this, Cheng Yao lowered his voice a little and reported: "The ministers sent people to Yanzhou, and they knew that the new Yanzhou assassin Cai Bao was ordered by the Jin court, not by the ancestors, and the two have never been at odds. And Dongping Neishi Xu Niche, unruly, and Cai Bao every time he was angry, he tried to say that Xu Niche came down, thinking that he should be internal.
"Once the matter is completed, the Ming Duke can cross the river and go straight to Puyang, attack Cai Bao, and stop the division of Luoyang, and make Xu Gong echo in Dongping, and don't attack Huan in Jibei. Jibei and Dongping are both down, and Puyang is not rare, so between Yan and Henan, it can be vertical and horizontal......"
Shi Le bowed his head and said: "What Ziyuan said is reasonable, then Xu Niche should try his best to lobby, and I will not hesitate to reward." β
Cheng Yao spread his hands and took the opportunity to persuade him: "Lord, if you want to say that Xu Gong is coming, then the life of King Zhao is several times more valuable than the life of Zhao Gong......"
Shi Le waved his hand and said with a smile: "I know, Ziyuan doesn't need to say much. β
Shi Le was still a little undecidable after all, until Shi Hu traveled thousands of miles, sent Xu Guang from Jinyang to send a letter to Xiangguo, and led more than 40 generals from Bingzhou to persuade him to go further, and claim the title of king. Moreover, Shi Hu also ordered Xu Guang to report the situation in Pingyang in detail to Shi Le in person, and repeated it again and again, just to explain one problem:
The group surnamed Liu is no longer saved, so do you still hope for their help? It's better to leave it out sooner rather than later. If you resolutely refuse to agree to be the king, then there is no way, your nephew's next letter will be played, and you will simply ask your uncle to be the emperor!
Shi Le finally made a decision - Lao Tzu will be the king of Zhao, why don't you dare?!
