Qi asked the Chinese envoy, saying that Yu Lu had a son of Yulu first, and I heard that he was taken to the Central Plains by the Jin people, but I don't know where he is now? Is it possible to return it to our country?

The Chinese envoy replied: "The ancestor Wang Yulu was friendly to China and sent troops to attack Hu and Qi many times, and the Chinese could not help but feel his virtue. Because he knew that his son was raised in his uncle's family, he went to visit and teach Chinese poetry and etiquette, in order to form an alliance between the two countries forever, just like the story of the desert Khan in the past. ”

Of course, the Qi family can't say that Yu Lu was killed by me, and I still want to kill all his heirs, you hurry up and send the pam over Although it is said in this matter, the other party also knows that he can only lie: "First of all, he died of illness, only this son is left, and he should return to Shengle to unify his father's ......."

The envoy said with a smile: "The female envoy said that she was joking, the first king and the Helan clan had two sons, one of them entered China, and the other can be returned to the old department anyway, they are all underage children, what is the difference?" ”

The Qi family pleaded repeatedly, and couldn't help but be annoyed: "My family was originally from the Jin, and now the Jin has been changed to Hua, if you want to continue the old alliance, unless you send the acacia, otherwise my son is free to be a single Yu in the grassland, why bother to be the acting king with the Ru family?!" "He ordered the expulsion of the Chinese envoys, and then gathered all the troops to level the city, intending to go south to invade the Chinese land.

You won't give me the locust, will you? Okay, I'll beat you!

He also ordered Tuoba to do his best and serve as a pioneer.

When the news reached Luoyang, Pei Wei started to play: "The woman has no knowledge, and she used a sword and a soldier because of a child, why doesn't Your Majesty take this opportunity to send troops to break it down and recover Yanmen and Xinxing counties?" ”

Since Liu Kun guarded the pasture and annexed the state, the gentry of the state generally had a good impression of the Xianbei people, because they were allies, and the people were not necessarily, because the thieves came to kill and plunder naturally, although the Xianbei soldiers were friendly troops, but they did not attack the city, and they often ravaged the countryside when they entered the state. And Yu Pei Wei and others, the two emotional factors are all indebted, anyway, it is not my race, it is subordinate to Wanghua or can be peaceful, if you dare to violate the realm, it is inevitable to beat it out.

In particular, they also know that Pei Gai's ideal is to restore the homeland since the Han Dynasty, when Pei Gai was the main Tun Gaonu, the elimination of the void, and the resumption of Shang County, it is this kind of banner that Tuoba Xianbei used to occupy many cities in Yanmen and Xinxing counties because of Liu Kun's play, and it was necessary to find an opportunity to order it to spit out.

Although the Hua Dynasty was subject to the Jin Chan, it did not mean that the policy of the Jin Dynasty should be fully accepted, and the Jin people cut the land, and the Hua Dynasty must also admit it. For example, the reason why the Beijing government succeeded the Qing Dynasty in legal theory and recognized the various unequal treaties imposed by the foreign powers on the Manchu Qing Dynasty was purely due to weakness or cowardice. If you change to New China, you will not recognize it at all, not to mention that two thousand years ago, in the eyes of the Chinese, there were only barbarians, and there were no great powers.

Originally, I wanted to wait for the first eradication of karma and the restoration of Shuzhong and Jiangnan, and then consider solving the historical problems left over from the north, but since people came to the door, didn't they take this opportunity to completely solve the problem?

Pei Wei therefore said: "Marshal Zu's troops are going to Hebei, and after Shile is defeated, he will summon the party army to help, and the remnants left behind should not be a blow from the king's division." However, even if it is put aside for the time being, it is not a disaster, and they dare to go east to disturb Taiyuan? It is better to order Liu Yang and others to go north with all their might, and recover the lost territory by breaking the topography. ”

Wang Zhuo, the left servant of the Chinese book, also said: "Tuoba is not willing to obey Wang Hua, and he must prevent Wang Shi from going east to the party and Leping, and they will go south to harass and even collude with thieves. Today, the party and Leping are empty, and the thieves dare not come out, so they just break the tuoba first to avoid worries. ”

At that time, the reason why the Western Jin Dynasty was to cut the land and seal the king again, and to treat Tuoba Xianbei so favorably, was to seek reinforcements to fight against Hu and Qian; Now that Hu Kou is almost wiped out, Tuoba Xianbei is too far away from Hebei to affect the battle situation of the ancestors, so for the Central Plains Dynasty, at most, there is no need to bother to win over.

The reason why Pei Gai crowned Murong as the king of Liao also had this consideration. Originally, it was Hu Han who was wreaking havoc in the Central Plains, the main force was in the west, and there was no too strong force in Hebei, so in order to resist the Hu army, it was necessary to win over Tuoba and not about Murong; Now that Taiyuan has been restored, Shi Le has stolen the territory of Ji and is the great enemy of the country, Tuoba is useless, and Murong's role is relatively prominent. Because there is the seal of Tuoba "acting king" in front, so if the Hua Dynasty is low, I am afraid that he will not be willing to contribute, so he has to be paid the "King of Liao", otherwise do you think Pei should be very willing to crown a foreign clan as a king?

After all, the Hua Dynasty was built, and the morale of the ministers was relatively high, so no one proposed that the left and right were only a child, and if they gave up, they could expand the army, so it was better to send them back.

Pei Gai asked Tao Kan: "In terms of military affairs alone, is Tuoba Ke?" What do you think? ”

Tao Shixing raised the wat plate and said slowly: "Tuoba can but, but you can't go deep into its place for the time being......"

He immediately explained, saying that the original plan was to attack Shangdang and Leping on two roads, and the Privy Council was planning a strategy, coordinating the grain and straw, planning a brigade on the south road and a brigade on the west road, and at most 20,000 people would be sent to attack because a large number of grain and materials were transported to the Hebei battlefield, and there was really not much left that the old Guanzhong army could call.

In this regard, Tao Kan analyzed: "Shi Leshi is a hero, Zhang Bin is also good at using soldiers, An, Kong Chang, and not reckless. Although the thieves were defeated in Xingyang, the land also crossed the state, and the remnants were no less than 50,000, and if they were recruited in Hebei, 100,000 could be caused. Therefore, the minister thought that although Marshal Zu was the best of the world, there were many fierce generals in his department, and his soldiers were refined, but it was difficult to win quickly; If the army is withdrawn because of the lack of food, the army will inevitably resent, which will not be conducive to the future integration of the imperial court.

"Naturally, just in case, the treasury of Chang'an and Luoyang cannot be without reserves...... "It is impossible to give all the food to the ancestral army, but the imperial court does not have much surplus, so once the ancestral army is defeated or even in chaos, the imperial court will have no power to contain it, of course, this can not be said too clearly, I believe that the Son of Heaven and the important ministers know it

"It is planned by the Privy Province, and most of the materials are exported to Hebei, or they are kept for backup, so there are not many losers. If the grain of Hebei is cut off immediately, Wang Shi can go out of Taiyuan with 50,000 yuan, and he will be able to recover Yanmen and Xinxing lost land; If it is still necessary to supply Hebei, a maximum of 20,000 troops will be dispatched, and it will be difficult to last.

"The Xianbei soldiers are very brave, Tuoba is its leader, if all the departments gather now, I am afraid it will not be easy to come. If General Liu and others are able to control the law, they are expected to defeat Xianbei, but they will chase as far as Yuanping, and they cannot go deeper. Pingcheng is the southern capital of Tuoba, it must be defended, if it goes deep and close to Pingcheng, it is not easy to be the enemy in front, and the grain is not continued, or there is a risk of victory and defeat. ”

Pei Gai couldn't help but be a little eager to try, so he asked the ministers: "I haven't been in battle for a long time, but I want to conquer and expand in person, but what?" ”

The important ministers naturally admonished in unison, saying that Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, how can you come out lightly? Besides, it has only been a short time since he practiced his position, so how can there be any reason to leave the center and go to the front line to fight on its own?

Tao Kan said: "If Your Majesty is not at ease with the war situation in the state, the minister is willing to spur the old bones and break the Xianbei for Your Majesty." ”

Since Pei Gai crossed, he has heard that the Xianbei soldiers are powerful, and he knows the history of the day after tomorrow, and he also knows that in the original timeline, it will be Tuoba Xianbei who will unify the Yellow River Valley in the future, although the Tuoba clan before Tuoba and the Tuoba clan after Tuoba may not be comparable, so this time against Tuoba, he is somewhat uneasy.

So since he can't go to the front in person, the only one who can entrust himself with the task is Tao Shixing. Although Tao Kan is best at infantry warfare and water warfare, after all, he has followed himself to fight in Kansai for several years, and has accumulated some experience in cavalry warfare and plain warfare.

In this regard, he ordered Tao Kan to send a battalion of cavalry from the Beigong Chunsuo Department to the north, and by the way, he also took the armored cavalry to supervise Liu Yang and others to resist the southern invasion of Tuoba Xianbei.

Only half a month after Tao Kan left, Guo Mo, the deputy privy envoy, suddenly sent an urgent performance, saying that Hebei's food supply was not large......

At this time, the news from the front line was that Zu Ti was fighting against An near Santai, and the two sides fought more than a dozen times, with mutual damage, and the victory and defeat were not divided, and the war temporarily fell into a stalemate. Zu Ti also played, saying that as long as he could break the three Taiwans, or hit An's Shangdang army hard, the battle would be easy to fight, but this time it was really a real fight, it depends on who can survive the court in terms of grain and materials, don't be stingy.

However, the season has come to February, the spring sun is moving, and everything is germinating. Last winter, the climate was warm, and the middle reaches of the Yellow River were not frozen, so that Luoyang could transport grain by waterway and continuously help the Hebei battlefield; However, in the area north of the West River, there are still some ice in some sections of the river, but the spring warms up and the ice drifts down the water, which makes it difficult to sail in the middle of the river during this time. Guo Mo played and said that more than a dozen grain ships had hit the ice and sunk, and looking at this situation, it is estimated that they will have to change to transport grain by land, and the road will be long and obstructive, and it will inevitably cause unplanned losses......

Pei Gai was shocked when he heard the report, and hurriedly summoned Guo Mo, Yang Qing and others to come to discuss. The two of them spread out the files and account books in front of Pei Gai, pointed out and explained them one by one, and said:

"Qianyou Envoy Jun and Pei Envoy Jun (Pei Cui) all reported that the artifact changed hands at the beginning, and Zhurong in Guanxi showed signs of instability, and was forced to recruit tens of thousands of new soldiers and horses. Xie Feng and Su Junfang traveled eastward, and there was no surplus of local grain and straw to Hebei. Therefore, the ministers inspected the treasury and planned in every possible way, which could barely be used by Marshal Zu, but the waterway was cut off, and if they changed to the land route, I am afraid they would not be able to lose to Fangtou in time......"

Guo Mo kowtowed because of this, claiming that the person who was guilty of capital crimes was originally quite arrogant and domineering, and he was slightly restrained from Pei Gai, but after Pei Gai became emperor, he was completely obedient and begged to be relieved of the responsibility of the privy deputy envoy, and would rather return to the army to be a brigade commander...... Even if the camp governor can do it, this planning of grain and straw materials is really a hard job.

Pei Cai took a closer look, and sure enough, Guo Sidao's eyes were black, and it seemed that he had really tired him during this time.

Guo Mo is cunning by nature, so he is also good at looking at the wind and turning the rudder. He knew that he was not Pei Gai's original subordinate team, and served as the pivotal leader in Chang'an Xingtai, so it was obvious that Pei Gai had the intention of accepting his military power. Originally, I planned to restrain my minions first and work hard for a few years, and I may not have no chance to go out again in the future. Who would have thought that Pei Gai would be called the emperor by Zen, and he Guo Sidao was therefore listed above the generals, second only to Tao Kan and other seven prime ministers. Guo Mo is down-to-earth now, and he said in his heart that he has no actual military power, and he will not be jealous of the master, Tao Shixing is dying of old age, and as soon as he retires or simply dies, I am expected to become the prime minister.

However, this time Tao Kan just left, and he encountered such a big problem!

Guo Mo still has a long time in military strategic planning, and he has always been painstaking in logistics work such as material raising and transportation, and he can only leave Yang Qing. Now that the plan to capture and annex the state has not yet been drafted, it was forced to be shelved because of the southern invasion of Tuoba, and the Hebei war situation was fully responsible by Zu Ti, and was not subject to the remote control of the Privy Council, which led to the focus of the entire department's work being tilted, and all fell on the overall planning of materials.

For several days, Guo Mo was so busy that he didn't know how to eat, and it was difficult to sleep peacefully, not only his eyes were dark, but the whole person was in a hurry, and he obviously lost weight. He said in his heart that if this matter is messed up, I am not the old ministry of the Son of Heaven, and I am likely to fall out of favor or even be punished, and the future of the prime minister is afraid that it will be ruined...... It's better to ask for release first to avoid this limelight. Your Majesty, if you don't worry about me, then give a battalion governor to do it, anyway, when I was attacking on the river, my troops rarely exceeded 10,000.

Pei Gai comforted him and said: "Strategizing, winning a thousand miles, this merit of staying in the marquis, I pinned my hopes on Yu Qing, how to go out?" "Turned his face to ask Yang Qing, saying that you are mainly responsible for the work of coordinating grain and grass, how can Shangguan be so tired and tired?

Yang Qing hurriedly defended: "How dare the minister not do his job? However, Deputy Guo Shu was worried about the king's affairs, and did not dare to slack off, and recently the seasons changed, and he felt cold, and even ...... "Guo Mo is because he has been in poor health recently, so he looks more haggard than me, in fact, I also work hard, and I am also very tired!"

Then he defended himself: "In fact, if Marshal Zu has a correct number of soldiers in the Privy Council, the grain supplied and transported the day before yesterday can also be used for more than a month, which is enough to support the war in Hebei and wait for the river to be unimpeded." However, he repeatedly urged the transportation of grain, and the cloud would be difficult to support, and the minister did not understand what he meant......"

Let's say that Zu Ti went to attack Santai, and the three guards were Lu Ming, one of the eighteen cavalry of Shile's family, and Guo Ao lost Lin Yu and fled to rely on each other, and the two armies met, with more than 10,000 people.

The so-called "three Taiwans" are the three large Taiwanese buildings built in the north of the city near Zhangshui, which are Jinfeng Terrace in front, Tongque Terrace in the middle, and Bingjing Platform in the back. Its platform is ten zhang high, and build five floors, build a corridor under the road, set up a flying beam on the top, hook up with each other, three and its ancillary buildings cover an extremely wide area, enough to accommodate 30,000 soldiers and horses.

In the Jin Dynasty, the two main battlefields were Luoyang and Yecheng, which were ravaged several times, and Ye was also today's Linzhang City, which was ruined, and the people were displaced, and they were unlivable, and they could not be defended. In the past year, Liu Yan was worshiped by Liu Kun as an auxiliary general, and after Wei County was too guarded, he led a thousand warriors to cross Taihang and go east, first tun Liqiu, behead Wang Sang, chase Zhao Gu, and return to Wei.

Liu Yan used the almost intact earthen platform to renovate the small damage to the pavilion, and built a nearly perfect fortification, when Shi Le first arrived in Hebei, that is, he attacked three stations and could not overcome them, so he had to make peace with Liu Kun and detour north, to Handan and Xiangguo. It wasn't until Shi Le gained a firm foothold in Hebei that he first fought with Wang Junxu and the snake, and then sent 70,000 people to re-attack Santai, Liu Yan was surrounded on all sides, and the grain and materials were not continued, and after resisting for about half a month, he was finally defeated.

As an important hub of Zhang Bin's second line of defense, the Zhao regime naturally had long since captured people from nearby to consolidate its fortifications and looted materials to secure its storage; And Lu Ming's selection of thousands of elite people who were still worthy of the first battle and stopped their troops in Santai has been more than half a month. As a result, the fortifications were solid, the materials were abundant, and the morale was barely usable, which became a strong wall in front of the Chinese army...... Fupin Chinese
