After the dispersal of the dynasty, Liu Xiu went to the West Palace.

Entering the main hall, after Liu Xiu sat down, he slapped the table indignantly, and said in a deep voice: "I'm angry!" ”

Yin Lihua looked puzzled and looked at Luo You. Luo You immediately told Yin Lihua about the affairs of the court. Although she was not in the court, she could hear the conversation in the court clearly when she stood outside.

Luo You was also quite surprised that Wang Yuan could live until now, and Luo You was even more surprised that Liu Xiu could continue to tolerate Wang Yuan's presumptuousness and did not order his head to be cut off in the court.

After listening to Luo You's story, Yin Lihua knelt down beside Liu Xiu and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't be angry anymore, Your Majesty can't punish Doctor Wang for this little thing." ”

"A trifle? Wang Yuan is too deceitful! Liu Xiu said angrily.

"Your Majesty, what ...... Is there any truth to what Dr. Wang said? Yin Lihua asked with a smile.

Liu Xiu blinked, held back for a long time, and said, "It's a little reasonable!" After speaking, he immediately said: "If it makes sense, then be reasonable, say that I am the king of the dead country, and compare me to a businessman, this is Wang Yuan!" ”

Yin Lihua couldn't help but burst out laughing. Liu Xiu raised her eyebrows and asked, "Lihua is still smiling?" ”

"The concubine thought that Dr. Wang said this just to dissuade His Majesty, although the words were a little too radical, but the intention was good. Your Majesty has always been tolerant, but why can't you tolerate Dr. Wang? ”

Liu Xiu took a deep breath, raised his hand, gently pinched Yin Lihua's cheek, and said, "It's me who has tolerated him for too long." ”

This is the truth, Wang Yuan has not spoken disrespectfully in front of Liu Xiu once or twice, and it even makes people feel that he is deliberately showing off, and he dares to speak disrespectfully in front of His Majesty.

The counselor does not have any real power, so he relies on one mouth. When they are angry, they can really make the emperor angry.

Yin Lihua opened Liu Xiu's restless hand, glanced at him by the way, and then said: "The concubine thinks that Your Majesty can't punish Doctor Wang for today's events, otherwise, she will be laughed at by the world." ”

Liu Xiu rubbed his forehead and said, "If I find an opportunity in the future, I will remove Wang Yuan from his official position." ”

Zhang Kun on the side hurriedly answered: "Doctor Wang is old, Your Majesty is considerate of the courtiers, and let the courtiers return to their hometowns and take care of their lives." ”

Liu Xiu looked at Zhang Kun, smiled on his back, and said, "Zhang Kun is very kind. ”

Yin Lihua couldn't laugh or cry, and shook her head helplessly.

No matter how angry Liu Xiu was with Wang Yuan, in the end, Liu Xiu still did not punish Wang Yuan's disrespectful remarks.

Strictly speaking, Liu Xiu really can't punish Wang Yuan, as a counselor, his duty is to supervise and spur the Son of Heaven, and Liu Xiu can't punish others because they perform their duties, which is too unreasonable.

The matter of the war against Kui Huan has been temporarily eased, and the Luoyang side has to wait for the war on the Daijun side to end. Wu Han went to the sea and said that Feng Yi would be able to finish this battle within a month, which is indeed an exaggeration.

After the Western Expeditionary Army burned Lingqiu, the army continued to move north, approaching the county seat of Daijun, Daicheng.

Lu Fang's generals Jia Lan and Jia Biao stationed the Wan army in Daicheng, in addition, the Hun cavalry and Wuhuan cavalry also gathered in the area of Daicheng, wandering around Daicheng, waiting for an opportunity.

The enemy army has already opened up the posture and wants to fight to the death with the Han army here in Daicheng, how can Feng Yi be cowardly? He led the western expeditionary army and quickly marched towards Daicheng.

That night, the Western Expeditionary Army marched to Shiqingshan, which was still a hundred miles away from Daicheng, and camped at the foot of the mountain.

In the military tent. Feng Yi summoned all the generals to discuss how to fight in the next battle of Daicheng.

Han Xin said: "General, the last general thinks that Lu Fangjun is not to worry, the key is that the Huns and Wuhuan cavalry are elusive, and the threat to our army is too great!" ”

Geng Shu's eyes kicked and he arched his hand and said: "General, the cavalry of the Huns and Wuhuan can be dealt with by the last general!" ”

Zhao Kuang Zhengse said: "The cavalry of the Huns and Wuhuan is not a group, but divided into many groups, General Geng wants to deal with them all, but he is really lacking in skills!" ”

Han Xin nodded his head, indicating that Zhao Kuang was right. Feng Yi pondered for a while and said: "No matter how many groups the Huns and Wuhuan cavalry are divided into, the most important group must be where the king of Ao Ri is located, as long as you can accurately grasp where the king of Ao Ri is and attack it, you will definitely be able to attract reinforcements from several other Xiongnu army and Wuhuan army!" ”

When the generals heard this, they all nodded again and again, thinking that Feng Yi's analysis was very reasonable. Han Xin asked, "General, where will the king of Ori be hiding?" ”

Feng Yi didn't speak immediately, but looked down at the map and fell into deep thought. The Han army has already planted eyes and ears in Daicheng, and it is now certain that King Ori is not in Daicheng.

To be more precise, the Hun cavalry and the Wuhuan cavalry are not in the city. These barbarian cavalry preferred to wander around outside the city and loot everywhere, including the king of Ori.

In this way, even though the Han army sent many eyes and ears, it was difficult to grasp the movements of the Xiongnu army and the Wuhuan army, let alone know which barbarian soldiers and horses the king of Ori was in.

Just as Feng Yi was looking at the map seriously, a soldier walked in from outside, intervened in the salute, and said, "General, there are people outside the camp who want to see you!" ”

Feng Yi's eyes fell on the map, he didn't raise his head, and asked, "Who is here?" ”

"This person calls himself Guo Ji, and says that he is from Yanggao Fort."

"Yanggao Castle? What is that place? Feng Yi finally raised his head and looked at the soldiers who reported the news.

The soldier who reported the news couldn't answer, and said hesitantly: "Villain...... The villain doesn't know. ”

Han Xin's eyes rolled, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he said: "General, if the last general is not mistaken, the ancient city of county governance in Dai County is called Yanggao, and this Yanggao Fort should be the ancient city of county governance!" ”

Feng Yi looked down at the map of Daijun, and couldn't find Yanggao at all. Han Xin explained: "The ancient city of Yanggao has been abandoned for a long time, and it will not be recorded on the map. ”

"Oh!" Feng Yi replied thoughtfully, he turned his gaze, looked at the soldier who reported the news, and asked, "How many people are here?" ”

"Only one person."

"Take him to the Chinese military tent to meet me."

"Whoa!" The soldier answered, turned and walked out of the tent.

After a little while, the soldiers brought in a man from outside. This person is about thirty years old, and his appearance is good, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth, a dignified appearance, and a heroic spirit between his eyebrows.

After this person entered the big tent, there was no nervousness, his expression was relaxed, neither humble nor arrogant, he bowed his hand to Feng Yi, who was sitting in the center, and said: "Grass people Guo Ji, meet the general of Zhengxi!" ”

Feng Yi waved his hand and asked, "Mr. Guo came to visit our army's camp at night, I don't know why?" ”

The handsome young man named Guo Ji bowed his hand again and said, "The grass people came here to meet the general, because they had a reluctant invitation. ”

Feng Yi smiled and asked, "What kind of reluctant request?" ”

"Please send troops to rescue Gaoyang Fort."

Feng Yi narrowed his eyes and didn't speak immediately. Han Xin opened his mouth and asked, "Mr. Guo, I don't know where the Gaoyang Fort you said is located?" Is it an ancient city under the rule of the county? ”

Guo Ji looked at Han Xin, owed, and said: "What this general said is extremely true, Gaoyang Fort is the ancient city of the county. ”

Feng Yi said: "What is the specific location of Gaoyang Fort, you can point it out on the map." As he spoke, he tapped on the map on the table.

Guo Ji walked to the table, looked down at the map, inspected it, he pointed to the map and said, "Here!" ”

Feng Yi followed his fingers and looked at it, it turned out that Gaoyang Fort was not far from Daicheng, located in the northeast of Daicheng, more than a hundred miles apart. However, the map shows that this is an open space, and there are no villages, towns, or towns.

Guo Ji explained: "Gaoyang Fort has been abandoned for more than 100 years, so it has not been recorded on the map, but the fact that it is not recorded on the map does not mean that it does not exist. ”

Feng Yi nodded, he could understand what he said. He said faintly: "As far as I know, all the counties and cities of Dai County have fallen, and now Mr. Guo has asked me to rescue Gaoyang Fort, has this place not been breached?" ”

Guo Ji Zhengse said: "Gaoyang City has long been an abandoned city, an abandoned city, and even the road to Gaoyang City has been deserted. Later, the remnants of the Datong Army took refuge in Gaoyang City and rebuilt on the basis of the abandoned city, which led to Gaoyang Fort. ”

Feng Yi waved his hand at Guo Ji, interrupted him, and asked, "Datong Army?" ”

Guo Ji hurriedly explained: "The Datong Army that the villain is talking about is not the Datong Army that defected to Zhang Bu, but a rebel army in the territory of the former Dai County, the Datong Army. ”

Feng Yi was silent, when it was the most chaotic year, there were hundreds of rebel armies all over the country, large and small, and he couldn't know all of them, and he had never heard of the Datong army that Guo Ji said before.

Guo Ji continued: "The remnants of the Datong Army built Gaoyang Fort on the basis of the ruins of the old city of Gaoyang, and they have always been in peace, almost living in isolation. Recently, Lu Fangjun and the Xiongnu army, Wuhuan army invaded Dai County, the people fled in all directions, many of them also fled to Gaoyang Fort, Gaoyang Fort, originally only a few hundred people, now has gathered thousands of people, due to the entry of a large number of people, Gaoyang Fort was also perceived by the Huns, Gaoyang Fort itself formed the village Yong, desperate resistance, repelled several attacks of the Huns, which also seems to have angered the Huns, the Huns army now arrived at Gaoyang Fort, want to break through in one fell swoop, the lives of thousands of people in the fort, in danger, I also hope that the general will send troops to the rescue! ”

As he spoke, Guo Ji took two steps back, knelt on his knees, and kowtowed forward.

I see! Feng Yi asked curiously, "Are you from Gaoyang Castle?" ”

"Exactly!" "Is it one of the remnants of the Datong Army?" "Yes, General!"

"Were you defeated by that government army in the first place?" When the rebel army rose up, Youzhou was very chaotic, one would be loyal to Wang Mang, one would be loyal to Wang Lang, one would be loyal to Liu Xuan, and finally Liu Xiu would be loyal to him.

Guo Ji hesitated for a moment, raised his head, looked at Feng Yi, and said: "The villain doesn't dare to hide from the general, the officers and soldiers who defeated the Datong Army at the beginning are the Daijun Army under today's rule. ”

Feng Yi blinked his eyes and burst out laughing.

That's a lot of fun! The rebel army, which was defeated by its own side, now turns to its own rescue and asks for its own rescue. Of course, after the rebel army defended itself, they were ordinary people, and they were no longer enemies of the imperial court.

He casually asked, "How many men and horses are there in the Hun army that wants to storm Gaoyang Fort?" ”

Guo Ji looked at Feng Yi and said with a solemn face: "Probably...... There were about 6,000 people. ”

"How much?" Feng Yi raised his eyebrows in disbelief.

"Yes...... That's more than 6,000 people! Guo Ji lowered his head and said: "The villain knows that the battle between the general and Lu Fangjun is imminent, and now let the general divide his troops to rescue Gaoyang Fort, right...... It's hard for a strong man, but ...... But there are thousands of people in Gaoyang Fort, and once the Huns kill them, these people will ...... They will all become the souls of the Huns, and please ask the general to save them! ”

As he spoke, Guo Ji kowtowed forward again and again, his head hit the ground, and he made a bang.

Feng Yi got up, walked to Guo Ji's approach, helped him up, and said: "Yi led the army into the generation, not only to break the enemy, but also to save the people of Dai County, now thousands of people are trapped by the Huns, and the responsibility is unshirkable, so we should go all out to rescue!" ”

Hearing this, Guo Ji was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses, his eyes were wet and red, and he was about to kneel down to thank him, but Feng Yi held his arm firmly.

The latter bent over and choked up and said: "The great kindness of the general, Guo and the people of the whole castle, thank you!" As he spoke, he fell to his knees and bowed again.

Feng Yi was stunned, he used a lot of strength to drag Guo Ji's arm, but Guo Ji could still kneel, this is not an ordinary person, but a hidden practitioner.
