When Zu Yue was in Yanzhou, he received many letters from Zu Na and Zu Lian, introducing Zu Li's condition, and he was so anxious that he was at a loss and wandered around the room every day.

One of its urgency, the world is undecided, and the situation is still hazy, how can you fall down at this time, third brother? Once you fall, my second brother and I will never get along, and there will be no suitable person in our ancestral family to take the lead. Zu's Xuanhe has only been a few years, and since he can be inexplicably lifted to the sixth place in the world by Pei, he may fall into the dust again at any time!

The second urgency is that if the third brother really leaves us and leaves, who will the ancestral army hand over? The second brother doesn't understand military affairs, Zu Lian is still young, and he has no prestige - to tell the truth, the second ancestor followed his father into battle for three days and two times, but he was never able to stand up in front of the generals, and he was quite a failure - then only I can temporarily lead the troops on behalf of the third brother. But I'm far away in Yanzhou, and I can't return to the court, so don't be a little slower when the time comes, and let Captain Xun take away the Chinese army!

If my ancestral family loses the right to fight, is it possible for Xuan He to continue to be prosperous? No one knows......

Therefore, he also told Zu Na many times, saying that whether it is me to take over the important task of the third brother or not, you have to quickly find a way to summon me back to the central government, and I have to get closer to the Chinese army. It's a pity that Zuna was blocked by Xun Group and Huaheng, and he couldn't do anything.

In the past few months, Zu Yue's mind has been all on Luoyang, and he has neglected his control of Yanzhou, and more importantly, he has gradually lost the heart of Yanzhou.

Song Yu's "Wind Fu" has a cloud: "The husband was born on the ground and started at the end of the apple." "The instability of Yanzhou actually started with the Zhou Jian Rebellion.

When the Jin and Zhao were fighting each other last year, Zhou Jian, the general of Zhou Mo, the minister of Rencheng, rebelled in Fan County, and then attacked the Dongping Kingdom to the north, wanting to take refuge in Shihu, who patrolled the area of Luzicheng and Shimen. After Zu Ti left Tongguan, returned to kill Jibei, and successfully repelled Shi Hu, he ordered Xu Gongtong, the prime minister of Dongping, to lead the soldiers and horses of the counties of Yanbei to go to the crusade, and defeated Zhou Jian in a battle, and then pursued to Fan County, and finally captured Qu Kui and captured Luoyang.

Xu Gong can fight habitually, but the military discipline of the department is extremely poor, even under Fan County, he actually took advantage of the opportunity to loot and kill thieves, resulting in ten rooms and nine empty rooms in Fan County. Zhou Mo didn't obey the persuasion, so he had to complain to the new Yanzhou assassin Shi Zuyue - this is my territory, you are killing people on my territory, and the wealthy are all complaining, you can easily shake your hands and leave, how should I manage it?

Zu Yue had just succeeded Cai Bao as the assassin of Yanzhou, and the situation was not familiar, so he encountered such a thing, and he originally didn't plan to pay attention to it - after all, Xu Gong had the merit of quelling the rebellion, and in this process, the restraint of the soldiers was a little less strict, and it was common in these years, so how could he be easily responsible? Who will fight hard after that? So he wrote back to comfort Zhou Mo, saying that since the matter has happened, it is better to forget it - otherwise I will have time to go to Rencheng and his party after a while, and by the way, I will summon Xu Gong to help you make peace, and let him apologize to you, how about it?

Of course, Zhou Mo refused to suffer a dumb loss for nothing, he heard that Zu Yue was greedy for money, so he immediately collected treasures and presented them. As soon as he received the gift, Zu Shi Shaodang changed his face, so he wrote a letter and severely reprimanded Xu Gong, asking him to rectify military discipline and find out the culprit to correct the law and calm the people's hearts.

Xu Gong received this official document, and couldn't help but be furious, and said in his heart I did something wrong, Ancestor Envoy Jun, you blame it, but you are also a person who has led soldiers, and you know that once the soldiers are killed, they can't be restrained at all. According to the usual practice, I was ordered to express my position verbally and apologize to Zhou Mo, so why do you want me to correct the Fa and what "culprit" is it? The generals under his command and the thieves have all merits, which one am I willing to cut?

immediately refuted the text, and Zu Yue was even more annoyed when he saw that Xu Gong was disobedient, and then the tone of the following words became even heavier-I originally wanted to solve the matter in the state, that is, to solve it in the state, and there was no need to disturb the heavens, do you plan to let me and Zhou Mo impeach you together? Have you thought about it, the impeachment of the assassin is mostly an impeachment, and there are people in the court!

Xu Gong panicked at this time, and hurriedly sent someone to Xiaqiu to inquire about the news-why did the ancestor envoy bite me and not tell my mouth? At the same time, he ordered Changshi Liu Xiao to go to Luoyang in person to appeal to Zu Ti - unfortunately, Zu Shizhi was sick and couldn't see anyone at all.

Soon the news came back, and Xu Gong realized that the Dare to Love Ancestor had been bribed by Zhou Mo, so he was even more annoyed. Not long after, Liu Xiao returned from Luozhong, and as soon as Xu Gong told him the news he had inquired about, Liu Xiao suggested: "In this case, the Fuzun should also prepare treasures to bribe the ancestors, and the matter will be settled." After all, the ancestor envoy was not only ordered to control Yanzhou, but also the younger brother of the hussar general, how could he be offended? ”

Xu Gong hung his head and was silent—he really couldn't swallow this breath. So he didn't make a decision for the time being, but asked Liu Xiaoluo about the matter, what is the condition of Zu Hussar, and how long will it take to get better? Liu Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "The hussar general Fang is seriously ill, and I really can't see it...... And it is rumored in Luozhong that the general vomited blood, and I am afraid that he will be sad this year. ”

Xu Gong asked: "If the general has something to say, who will command the Chinese army?" Isn't it the eldest son? ”

Xu Gong was born in Taishan Liukou, and his ancestors were put under his command during the Northern Expedition, and his foundation was very shallow. So he has been clinging to Zu Ti's thighs, hoping that he can rise to prominence and protect the peace of the family - I, a lonely and poor person, can be the face of a country before the age of forty, if there is no hussar general, can I get here?

But seeing that Zu Ti was about to be unable to afford it, Xu Gong had to think about the matter behind the benefactor. With his background, he is naturally inferior to the Xun Party, and the Kansai Party is even more far away in the sky - as for the Kansai Party placed in the court, they are all high-ranking men and scribes, how can they look down on themselves? Wufu can only rely on Wufu, so after the death of General Zu, who will the imperial court order to succeed him? I've got to get in touch with that guy first.

It is best to be the son of the ancestors, the little guy has no prestige, and he will respect his father's legacy, as long as I get up as soon as possible, I may be introduced by him as a cronie.

Who wants Liu Xiao to say: "It is rumored in Luozhong that the son has no authority, and he cannot be the commander of the Chinese army; Zu Shangshu asked the ancestor to return to the court, but was blocked by Xun Taiwei and Hua Shizhong. It is also rumored that Captain Xun may turn Xun Servant (Xun Di) into a military position and lead the Chinese army......"

Xu Yan couldn't help but tighten his eyebrows, and said to Liu Xiao: "Xun Servant has never practiced military affairs, how can he be a Chinese army?" As for Zu Shishao...... If Pi Ruo Shao succeeds the general's business, how can I survive?! ”

In this year, the most important family, the death of the father and the son, the death of the brother and the brother are common, and the name of the Chinese army, in fact, like most of the soldiers in Yan and Henan, is just the "ancestral army" that changed its name and surname. Therefore, Xu Gong thought that no matter how much the Xun clan wanted to reach out to the army, they would eventually have to bring out the ancestral family to fill the façade - if it was Zu Lian, even if Zu Ji and Zu Zhi were returned, if it was Zu Yue...... How can this heir serve?!

The key ancestor did not follow his brother to cross the river, and only after the Central Plains was initially decided, did he try his best to get rid of all kinds of shackles and enter Luolai, so he was not close to most of the ancestral generals. Especially after Zu Yue entered Luo, he first served as Shangshu, and then transferred to the military position, and he did not make any military achievements, in fact, his prestige in the army may not be able to surpass Zu Lian. It's just that he is Zu Li's brother after all, he is a generation older than Zu Li, and he is also a heavy general, so all parties think that it will be more suitable than Zu Li.

Zu Yue is greedy for money and holds grudges, which is famous, so since he choked with Xu Niche this time, Xu Niche will never want to be under his command in the future. He discussed with Liu Xiao, Liu Xiao still suggested that he hurry up and prepare gifts to bribe Zu Yue, but Xu Gong shook his head and said: "Zu Shi is less violent and unkind, if he leads the Chinese army, it will be bad for the country, even if we win his favor for a while, we will be affected by it in the future." In a certain way, it is better to design the drawing, so that it has no hope of leading the Chinese army......"

Xu Gong is planning to let Zu Yue plant a big heel, just like Cai Bao in the past, if he can save his life, even if he is lucky, how can he still inherit Zu Yu's career?

So, how can we make Zuyo fall behind? But it's not that hard - as long as I put up the anti-flag!

discussed with Liu Xiao about this: "Zhou Mo wants to harm me, I won't take revenge, and I swear not to be a person!" Now the chaos in the city has subsided, and the Mo army has been defeated, and it is not difficult to take it. Jibei in the north, the Huanzi room is dead, and the imperial court is ordered to marquis Shixuan, but it is just a mediocre person, and Jibei is also easy to forge ahead. Mount Tai in the east, the scholar of the Yangjing period only, and I have come out of this book, the terrain is familiar, the people's hearts are attached, and it can be passed on. Compared with the capture of the four counties, and then the westward to compete with the ancestors, the few soldiers will not be able to fight.

"The hussar general Fang is ill, and the court must defend against thieves in the north, and the great Sima Fang plans to merge the state, and he will not dare to come to suppress me with all his strength, and most of them will be appeased. Since I have been cared for, Zu Shishao will not be able to succeed to the Yanzhou Assassin History, and Fang will cause chaos in the state, so who will make him succeed the cause of the hussar general? ”

Liu Xiao raised doubts about this, and said: "Yanzhou's strong troops are all in the four northern counties, as Fuzun said, if you can break the city, then Jibei and Taishan are not enough to be peaceful." However, it is necessary to guard against the soldiers of Qingzhou, and they are ordered to go west - Feng Long is in Licheng, Su Jun is in Pugu, and it is not easy to ...... with them."

Xu Gong nodded and said, "Qing's words are reasonable. I am not afraid of the two of them, but if I lead my army to the west and fight with Zu Shishao on both sides, I have no full chance of winning. After thinking about it, he said: "Feng Long is not convinced by Zu Shishao, but he can secretly lobby to make him know my hard work." As for Su Zigao...... If I really have no intention of treason, but because the ancestors are persecuted to this point, and I am willing to leave the ancestral door and return to the Great Sima, I don't know if he may believe it? ”

Liu Xiao arched his hand and said: "I would like to go east to Pugu to talk about General Su." ”

Xu Gong hurriedly returned the salute: "There is Lao Yuqing." Then he thought about it for a while, and then said: "If our side starts an incident in Yanbei, and Zhao Zhao goes to attack and get tired of it, he will definitely be able to bind Feng and Su, and he will not be able to go west—it is better to secretly send an envoy to Xiangguo ......."

Liu Xiao was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Fuzun should be careful not to do this!" Could it be that Fu Zunguo has the heart to betray Jin and Zhao? If you only want to expel the ancestral envoy, and bow down afterwards, the court will be willing to appease; However, if there is a relationship with the thief, I am afraid that Luoyang and Chang'an will not accept the mansion again! "It's a matter of right and wrong, don't make a mistake!

When Xu Gong heard this, he groaned slightly, and then smiled: "What Qing said is, I think it's bad...... Qing Ke sent me a letter, and hurriedly went to Licheng and Pugu to lobby the two generals, and I will send it when the time comes, and I will not go to Zhao. In fact, he thought to himself, what about the Karma? Didn't Cao Wei sway from side to side several times? As long as you have soldiers and food in your hands, and the court has no way to deal with you for a while, then you can only appease, and even Cao Wei can finally return to Jin, let alone me?

——————————

Liu Xiao was ordered to hurriedly go to Licheng to meet Feng Long, but was reprimanded by Feng Long. Feng Long said: "If the ancestor has something to say, and the imperial court appoints a young man to lead his army, I will be the first to disagree!" However, I will not participate in your lord's scheme. If there is an edict on another day that makes me crusade against your lord, I will go to my destiny and go by night, will I do what you wish? Thou shalt restore thy lord, and thou shalt dispel delusions. ”

Liu Xiao left disappointed, and then to Pu Gu, Su Jun's rhetoric was different-

"The ancestral court is full of admiration, and the world admires it, but who is the ancestor less? I don't know. If the ancestor is unashamed, he should be recommended by the great Sima to be the successor, how can he be privately given and accepted by the same surname? However, we were ordered to go to the east to help us from time to time, and the matter of Yanzhou was not something I should pay attention to. ”

The implication is that I am an outsider, and I will not care about the affairs of your ancestral army.

In fact, Su Zigao's real thoughts, once there is chaos in Yanzhou, I can wave my army to the west and go to seek peace, which is better than being forced to come north to aid and get tired of it, and go to fight Shi Zhao Jingrui - I want to fight Shi Zhao, but unfortunately the strength is not strong enough, it is useless to throw soldiers and horses, as for fighting Xu Gong...... It's not hard to think about.

Liu Xiao got Su Jun's acquiescence and hurriedly returned to Dongping Kingdom to return to Xu Gong. He didn't know that Xu Gong sent another cronie to secretly go north and had already connected with Zhao General Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi reported to Xiangguo, and Shi Le immediately ordered him to lead the army to attack the puppet attack in order to contain the garrison of Qingzhou in the Jin Dynasty.

Zhang Yi's side moved, Xu Gong was convinced, and immediately raised the anti-flag - because he resolutely refused to bow his head, Zu Youzhen united with Zhou Mo, played impeachment, and asked for his dismissal, so Xu Gong could not wait any longer. On the one hand, Xu Gong also played, accusing Zhou Mo of making false accusations, and Zu Yue accepted Zhou Mo's bribe, colluded with him, framed Zhongliang, and at the same time quickly sent troops south and went straight to Ren Chengguo.

Zhou Mo was defenseless at all, and was actually directly entered by the rebels, and he died in the chaos. Immediately, Xu Gong turned north and attacked Jibeiguo.

The new name of the history of Jibei is Hou Shixuan, a native of Dongguan, and his ancestor Hou Shiguang, the official at least the mansion, and the marquis of Linhai. The surname of Hou Shi is said to come from the good history Dong Hu, and it should be said in the "Customs and Customs": "Dong Hu is the historian of the Jin Dynasty, because of his family." "He is not the old department of the ancestral family, but a henchman of the Xun family, and he has no talent to lead the troops in battle, and he has not been in office for a long time, so he can't control the soldiers of the counties at all. The rebels drove straight into the city and successfully captured Luzicheng, whose walls had not yet been completely repaired, and Hou Shixuan was forced to abandon the city and flee.

Xu Gong made a plan to move, the speed of the march was very fast, Zu Yue had just come back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly gathered troops and horses from Puyang, Chenliu, Jiyin and other places, left Liqiu, and went to attack Fan County. However, as Xu Gong expected, the elite of the foreign army in Yanzhou were all in the four northern counties, and the ancestors finally gathered six or seven thousand people, but the result was that the organization was poor, and the equipment was outdated, and it took more than ten days to attack the small Fan County without an inch.

Then, Xu Niche turned back from Jibei......
