Liu Yao was in Gaonu, and sent away Liu Cang's envoy for the third time to ask him to supply grain and straw and lead the army south to rendezvous.

Gao Nu's money, food and materials were not sufficient, coupled with Tuoba Xianbei's attack on Luchuan, the remaining people of the Tiefu Department were all annexed, and Liu Hu's thousands of remnants of the army had nowhere to go, and they were forced to rely on Liu Yao, so the food was even more insufficient, how could there be a rich supply for Liu Cang.

As for leading the troops south to meet, Liu Cang promised, saying that you can just bring the expenses on the road, and since it is under my command, the future grain and straw will naturally be supplied by me. In this regard, Liu Yao pouted and said: "If there is enough food in the army, why do you need me to supply and lose?" Liu Shiguang just wants to win my ear. If I am at peace and enter his army, I will be a prisoner! "I'm not going to kill me!

However, when the envoys came and went, Liu Yao held a banquet every time, inquired in detail about the battle situation on the front line, and discussed this with staff officer Liu Jun. Liu Jun pointed out sharply: "I am afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be defeated!" ”

Liu Yao said: "Pei's army is very sharp, and good at defending the city, now Liu Shiguang besieges Haoyang with a large army, and it is difficult to get down, and the Jin army is stationed in Pinyang and Dali, looking for an opportunity to rescue, this situation is really not easy to break." If the army has enough food, it can support half a year old, or there will be a turnaround, otherwise once the grain is exhausted, Liu Shiguang will retreat to the east of the river, so that this westward expedition will come with great momentum and eventually become a cake. It's just that Qingyun is defeated, so what's the explanation? "I just think that Liu Cang can't win, but it's not a bad loss, right?

Liu Jundao: "Wang Shi 100,000 ......" In fact, Liu Cang's soldiers are only 70,000 (not counting the people), claiming 200,000 to the outside world, Liu Yao's camp estimates that he is no more than 100,000 at most - "The number of Jin people, in 40,000 or 50,000 people, although there is a strong city as a basis, but the king division is gathered and the Jin army is scattered, overall, the king division is still superior." Even if the Jin people of Pinyang and Dali cooperate with Haoyang, and attack the king inside and outside, there is a preset fortification under the city, and it may not be ......defeated immediately."

Then he analyzed Liu Yao in detail:

"The lack of food and straw in the king is conducive to a quick battle, which is a matter known to the whole army. Therefore, at the beginning, he was willing to fight bravely to fight for life, and once he could not break the enemy, people's hearts would inevitably panic. In contrast, Pei should be a bait and stick to Haoyang, while the pawns of Pinyang and Dali came to the rescue, but they were not allowed to come.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may think that the Jin people are cowardly and Guo Mo is cunning, so he doesn't dare to come to save Haoyang. However, those who are gathered in Pinyang today, Duo Pei Junyuan from the old general, from Xuzhou, if there is no Pei should be ordered, Guo Mo'an can control them? And Dali has Zhen with him, how can he be a cowardly person?

"This must be the army from afar, it is inevitable to be tired, Pei should be confident that he can defend the Yang, so he let them rest first, wait for his general's order, and the appointment will be issued at once. It must be known that in Yong and Qin Prefectures, although there were few Jin soldiers, there were many Rong troops, and Sima Bao was defeated, so Di Qiang wanted to attach Pei to make meritorious contributions. And before that, Ming Gong's secret envoys were coveted, and there was no reckless move, why is this so? Di Qiang, Xianbei, the nature of the jackal, should not be used without permission, with but not rewarded, he will hate, if the reward will promote it to sit big, and eventually become a problem in the heart. If Pei really thinks that Haoyang is difficult to defend, why not summon the Rong Ministry? If you think that Haoyang can be defended, why should Guo Mo and others rush to help?

"If the minister is Pei Gai, he will not ask for help if he relies on this fortified city. There is no way to win, and now the troops are stationed in Pinyang and Dali, which can make it difficult for the king to enter the north in the west and go south to Weishui. Now I heard that the king is in Feng Yi, and there is nothing to plunder, but if you go west to the north, Fufeng, and south to Jingzhao and Shiping, how can there be a reason for all the walls to be clear within a thousand miles?

"Since it is difficult for Wang Shi to transport grain, as long as he sticks to Haoyang, he can make it retreat by itself. If the second city comes to the rescue, but the king is far away from the frequent yang and Dali, even if it is broken, it may be difficult to control it - Pei Gai has worked hard for several years, I am afraid that he will be lost......"

Liu Yao nodded while listening, and then asked: "What Wen Qing said is very reasonable, and it is slightly the same as what I see." However, it can't be defeated, so why be defeated? ”

Liu Jun smiled slightly, signaled Liu Yao to be a little calm, and said that I will talk about the key points next-

"This envoy came before, and the Ming Duke inquired about the affairs of his army, although there was a vagueness, the ministers could also get a glimpse of one or two: Wang Shi is not enough to stop the lack of food, and I am afraid that the morale will not last long!

"What do you see? Wang Shichu crossed the river, attacked it unprepared, covered the summer sun in the north, and went to Haoyang in the south, and its spirit was flourishing. Therefore, Tao Shixing took the narrow road as an obstacle, fought for several days, and finally retreated. However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was anxious to enter the peace, regardless of the fatigue of the soldiers, repeatedly attacked the Jin base, re-encircled the siege of Haoyang, failed to attack by all means, and plundered the four fields, almost nothing, and the morale of the army was bound to be sluggish.

"For example, if a thousand huge stones fall from the mountains, they are unstoppable, and those who are in it will become powder. However, if there is a gentle slope, the fall is slightly curbed, and it is blocked by the mountain cliff, and then it is difficult to do it. The morale of the king was boosted and he rushed across the river; Drum and decay again, break the base and flat; The three drums were exhausted, and the soldiers were in Yang. The qi has been exhausted, when there is no good strategy, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't see this, once the Jin people take advantage of the time to attack from both sides, echoing with Haoyang, with His Royal Highness's ability, I am afraid it will be difficult to fight. ”

Liu Yao twisted his beard in his hand, muttered for a long time, and couldn't help sighing: "This is not Liu Shiguang's loss of troops, the situation is like this, if you are not in a hurry to tackle the problem, Pei should become more and more big, if you are in a hurry, the grain is insufficient, and it is difficult to fight for a long time...... I can't win in changing places, so I can only listen to my words and retreat early. ”

Liu Jun said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has tried his best to disagree with the public, searched all the treasury, and wanted to make this thunderous blow, if he didn't run out of food and the army was broken, how could he retreat?" If he retreats, how will he see the princes of Pingyang? Even if the crown prince is honored, it may not be stable - there are a large number of sons today.

"However, his use of troops may not be without loss, if it is easy to use the Ming Gong and use things on the spot, it will definitely be different." first presented a high hat to Liu Yao, and then explained:

"Knowing that there is a shortage of food and straw, the advantage is to fight quickly, and the army cannot be stopped. Or with 100,000 people, regardless of casualties, storm Haoyang, may not be impossible to break. Or leave an army to contain Haoyang, and the main force goes south to Dali and west to Pinyang, with the crowd outnumbered, but the law is controlled, and there is a chance of victory. And if you take Pubandu first, shorten the way of grain transportation, and then rush across Weishui to threaten Chang'an, then the armies of Pinyang and Dali will not dare not go to the rescue. That is, Pei should be in the city of Haoyang, and he can't live for a long time, he will break through, and the Ming Duke can set up an ambush in the plain, and he will capture Pei Cai!

"However, now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has moved to wait and see, and the two ends of the first rat want to surround Haoyang and attack Jin Aid. This plan to besiege the city and send reinforcements, if the city can be taken overnight, even if foreign aid does not arrive, it is difficult to ambush and annihilate, and the city can be taken down in one go......"

He made it very clear when he said this, Liu Cang, your plan to besiege the city and send reinforcements is not right. The siege must be ready at any time, so that there is a sense of urgency, which can prompt foreign aid to come in a hurry and step on your ambush, and even if foreign aid is not available, you can quickly capture the city, which is not a waste of time.

"Pei should not be a coward, and he is good at guarding the city, if he is not in a hurry to ask for help, who is willing to fall into the trap of the Jin people? If the Jin army does not advance alone, the king will be powerless. If it is to Weinan, it is different to threaten Chang'an, that is, Pei Gai does not dare not save it, but only if he attacks it, he can save it, and he can send reinforcements. ”

When Liu Yao heard this, he couldn't help but clasp his hands together and exclaimed: "Qing Zhen's son's room, although it is thousands of miles away, planning the layout, if you have insight-Pei Gai's viscera, all of them are in Qing's hands." ”

Liu Jun sighed and said: "The way of using soldiers, knowing oneself and knowing the other, it is a pity that in the past under Dali City, the ministers have not yet understood Pei Gai's ability and temperament, which led to the defeat of our army...... If there are 100,000 Pixiu again, and compete with it in the Central Plains, the minister will be able to plan for the Ming Duke and take his head! ”

Liu Yao also sighed, and said that I am afraid that I will not have that chance again-"If it is as Qing said, Wang Shi is defeated, Pei should be in Yong, Qin, and Liang Prefectures, and the foundation is stable, but I am confined to this wild place, Xianbei is in the north, and the imperial court does not allow it, how can I say that I will revive 100,000 Pixiu?" ”

Liu Jun's eyes flickered, and he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "But it's not the case." ”

Liu Yao narrowed his eyes slightly, and hurriedly asked, "What is Qing's best plan to teach me?" ”

Liu Jundao: "Today, the imperial court is in danger - His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led the whole country to die outside, and I am afraid that I will be defeated once, and Shi Hu is in Jinyang, and he has a heart of disobedience, and the Son of Heaven is not cheering up." Once the teacher is lost in Hexi, Pei Gai will chase after him, and Zu Ti will also order the division to cross the river, and the court has no available soldiers, only to seek slaves. And if the slave entered Pingyang...... he paused deliberately, and then said slowly: "Is this country still owned by the descendants of Emperor Guangwen?" ”

Liu Yao was dumbfounded and hated: "It's all Jin Zhun and others who have mistaken power and misled the country, plus Liu Shiguang is stubborn, and even the country is in this danger!" If the late emperor's younger brother is here, benevolent and cautious, obedient to his orders, and united in heart, why is this so? ! But so that I still have a breath, I will not allow the slaves to trample on the gods! ”

Liu Jun interjected in a low voice next to him: "Duke Ming was also Emperor Guangwen's son ......"

When Liu Yao heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then frowned and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Liu Jun only then tried to see the poor dagger, and persuaded him: "Ming Gong is the son of Emperor Guangwen, and now he is a younger brother, and the country is named King Yong, so it is his duty to help the crisis and settle down." Now, if we can lead the army to return to the west from Sangjin, obviously to curb Shihu from going south, but in fact, to enter Beijing to assist the Son of Heaven, then the state affairs may be able to see the sun from the clouds and turn the crisis into safety......"

Liu Yao said: "Jin Zhun is in Pingyang, and he will not accept me." ”

Liu Jundao: "Jin Zhun is greedy and slanderous, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is powerful, so he is attached to it, once the king is defeated, and the Ming Duke is in the city, his heart may not be shaking." And the important ministers in the court, most of them are not worthy of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but Mu Ming Gong is majestic, but one or two people are willing to echo, and Pingyang will inevitably open the city gate to welcome Ming Gong.

"After entering the city, go to the Son of Heaven and force ...... Please issue an edict to the crown prince, as the crown prince of the country, the status is noble, it is not suitable to work on state affairs, and he will be deprived of his position as a great prime minister and a big single, and he will be returned to the Ming Duke. Diqiang Liuyi, the former brother of the late emperor, hated His Royal Highness the crown prince, but Yu Ming Gong, and had no grudges. Ming Gongcheng can eliminate traitors internally, Fu Liuyi in the middle, Donghe Qianhu, and Southern Yu Jin Kou, slowly accumulating, then the country still has a glimmer of vitality.

"The minister didn't dare to say that this plan would be successful, but the Ming Gong was cramped in this wild place, and it was difficult to recover, so why not take a chance? And if the country is manipulated by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Jin Zhun and other traitorous ministers, I am afraid that the Jin Kou has not arrived, and the Jin army has entered Pingyang! Ming Gongqi can't bear to see this? The minister is also Tu Ge, and his heart and mind are thinking, that is, the foundation of Emperor Guangwen is difficult to protect after all, and Pingyang will eventually fall, but he hopes to die for the country in Pingyang City, and he does not want to die in a wild place! ”

In fact, his last few sentences are superfluous, Liu Yao is also an ambitious person, and in front of his cronies, there is no need to pretend to clear himself. Besides, if when the country is strong, he runs to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes, it is a usurpation, it is to pick the fruits of victory, and the country has become like this, is this burden that everyone wants to pick, is willing to pick, and can pick? Instead of giving it to Liu Cang, it's better for me to come.

In fact, he has no grievances with Liu Cong, but for Liu Can, this imperial uncle is too capable and too prestigious, plus he once supported Liu Yi, so it will naturally be written into the cleaning list. Liu Yao is also often worried that once Liu Cong dies and Liu Cang succeeds to the throne, will he still be able to tolerate himself? Now that there is oppression by a strong enemy outside and a strong minister inside, he pinched his nose and pretended to appease himself, but in fact, he didn't want to kill himself all the time - otherwise, why did he send envoys to the south again and again? If it's hard to stand together, why can't I just take a chance?

As Liu Jun said, Liu Cong's son has a big vote, and he may not necessarily have to be the eldest son to succeed to the throne! Anyway, he has even abolished the crown prince, and it won't be difficult to abolish the crown prince again, right?

Liu Yao just groaned, carefully considering the feasibility of this plan. Although Liu Jun also said, this is an adventure, I dare not say that I will be able to succeed, but at least I must have a three-fifty percent certainty before I can tuck my head on the waistband of my trousers and fight like this. If you don't even have a 30% certainty......

"I'm not in a good position today, and my military resources are insufficient, so I'm afraid it's hard to do this......"

His concern was also expected by Liu Jun, and he immediately suggested: "Don't worry about Ming Gong, there are still more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in our department today, and the remnants of Lou Fu Gong (Liu Hu), 20,000 male soldiers, can rush back to Pingyang, since he rejects Shi Hu, there must be those who should rise up and respond." As for money, food, and military resources...... "His eyes glanced at the oblique place: "There are treasures here today, and they can be exchanged." ”

The treasure he is talking about is the loss of Yiyu. Quan Qu has sent people to ask for his son many times, sometimes he whispered, saying that he was willing to pay a large ransom, and sometimes he was so angry that he threatened to send troops to attack, but Liu Yao ignored it. Liu Yao is afraid that he will send troops to attack the power canal, he may not be able to defeat it, but weighing the comparison of the strength of the two sides, even if he wins, it must be a miserable victory. Therefore, he has to wait, wait for his strength to recover a little, and the situation of all parties has changed, and then consider the question of whether to make peace with Quan Qu or directly meet in battle.

Therefore, Liu Jun suggested that we don't plan to stay in Gaonu anymore anyway, so naturally we are not afraid of Quanqu, we can put Yiyu back, and take the opportunity to ask Quanqu for food and grass materials.

Liu Yao asked: "Can I exchange Yiyu for Quanqu to send troops to help?" ”

Liu Jun shook his head: "Duke Ming should not have Longwangshu, this matter can not be repeated." "You've already asked him for soldiers and horses, but not only did you fold all his people on the battlefield, but also detained his son by the way, so you say that Quan Qu has to be brainless before he will fall for you again?

Liu Yao thought for a while, and finally slapped his thigh and said-"The husband is not born to eat, and he is dead to be Jiuding cooking, and the foundation of the Emperor Han is crumbling, how can I stand idly by?!" ”
