Chapter 9 The world is coveted

Schle went to Hanoi this time to provide support, taking with him a staff corps and an officer corps, ready for consultation and calling. Therefore, the time is not big, and all the generals are in the hall, including: Zuo Changshi Diao Ying, Zuo Sima Zhang Jing, engaged in Zhonglang Pei Xian, Du Yan, Wang Xu, Zhongli General Zhixiong, Guerrilla General Wang Yang, Supervising Zhang Si, Wang Budu, and Congzi Shisheng.

Shi Le sent letters to everyone, and then asked: "Now that the crown prince is defeated, I am afraid that Pei Wenyue will lead the pawns of Guanzhong straight down to Hedong." Or if it goes north to attack Pingyang, then the society is in danger, or if it goes east to help the ancestors, it is not easy for me to resist - how to deal with it, the secretary and others can speak freely. ”

Pei Xian and Du Yan glanced at each other, and then they both lowered their heads, not intending to express their opinions - one of them was surnamed Pei, and they wanted to avoid suspicion, and the other was a scholar who did not understand military affairs at all. The first to speak was Zuo Changshi Diaoying, and he arched his hand and said: "If you don't mean that the crown prince is 200,000 people, and you are defeated overnight, then Jin is bound to be blazing. The battle of Hanoi is meaningless, and I also ask Ming Gong to summon General Tao to guard Ji, and order General Xuan to return to Shangdang, and temporarily avoid Jin Kou as a good ......"

Diao Ying was originally the mastermind of Shile, but later this son was taken away by Zhang Bin, he was naturally deeply dissatisfied with Zhang Mengsun and wanted to hinder everything. But at the same time, he also looked down on Cheng Yao and refused to be the same party as Cheng Ziyuan, so although he still hung the title of Zuo Changshi, he was increasingly marginalized in the Xiangguo regime.

This time, Zhang Bin proposed to save Zhao Gu in order to try to Hanoi, Cheng Yao first jumped out to express his opposition, and Diao Ying saw this, so he simply pretended to be neutral and did not help each other. However, now that the news of the defeat in Guanzhong came, Shi Le asked the generals for their opinions, but he couldn't help but jump out - isn't Cheng Yao here? Then if I don't come out, who will pull Zhang Bin's hind legs?

Therefore, Diao Ying suggested a comprehensive retreat, sticking to the five counties of Ji, Ji, and Erzhou, as well as the five counties of Sizhou to the east of Ji County, in order to wait for the situation to change, which was tantamount to rejecting Zhang Bin's plan. When Shi Le heard this, he twisted his beard in his hand and muttered silently.

Zhongli General Zhixiong and guerrilla general Wang Yang are all martial artists, although they are also shocked by the strength of the Jin people, but with their own character, they are never willing to retreat easily, but seek to defensive, so they have expressed their stance and refuted Diao Ying. Wang Yang said: "What Diao Changshi said, how cowardly! In the past, Zhao Gong led us to wander in Huaishang, there were enemies on all sides, and they were not afraid, but now they are all in hand, and they have to merge with the land, how can they hear that the Jin people are coming, and they are anxious to say the reason for retreating? ”

At a loss, Zuo Sima Zhang Jing stood up and looked around at everyone: "Gentlemen, be at ease, and listen to a certain word." ”

Zhang Jing was born in the Zhang family of Qinghe, although the portal is not high, and it is not comparable to Zhang Bin - Zhang Bin is a native of Zhao County, a real poor family - so after he surrendered, he did not deal with Zhang Bin very much, but secretly allied with Cheng Yao. However, Zhang Bin looked down on Zhang Jing very much, calling him a "resourceful man", thinking that his talent was slightly inferior to his own, but he was far higher than his peers.

However, although Zhang Jing belonged to Cheng Yao's party, his selfishness was not as heavy as Cheng Ziyuan's, and in this strategic decision, he was in favor of Zhang Bin's proposal to take Hanoi, so he stood up and analyzed in detailβ€”basically speculationβ€”the war in Guanzhong, and said:

"In the book, the defeat of the crown prince is unknown, in a certain thought, 200,000 troops, how can it be easy to break? Pei Gai broke the king's division, and his army was tired, and he was afraid that he would not dare to take Hedong and seek Pingyang. If he dares to commit a crime, he can order the county prince (Shi Hu) to enter the king of Weiqin, and the king of Yong will also be able to keep him out of the capital without injury.

"And if he sends an army to Hanoi, he must first settle in Hedong, which is vast and prosperous, how can it be easy to settle down? As expected, if it is not in February and March, the Jin army in Guanzhong will not enter to aid Hedong, so if I don't see the Jin people and retreat, I will be laughed at by the world, and morale will also fall. ”

Zhi Xiong, Wang Yang and others patted their legs one after another: "What Zuo Sima said is true!" ”

Zhang Jing glanced at Diao Ying, who had a gloomy face, and continued: "Of course, Diao Changshi's concerns are also reasonable, but you must always look at the thief's situation first, and then make a decision, and retreat if you don't hear the news." As he spoke, he arched his hand towards Shi Le: "Duke Ming, in the eyes of the minister, the misfortune and blessing depend on it, and the crown prince's defeat this time may not be a good thing for the country......"

Hearing this, Shi Le frowned slightly and said, "Oh? I have to listen to Sima's high opinion. ”

Zhang Jingnai said: "The crown prince is stubborn, domineering, and has always been at odds with the Ming Duke, then it will be difficult for him to govern, and it will be difficult for the division and Ji to be united, and the country will inevitably be divided, and the Jin people can take advantage of his situation to break them one by one." Now that King Yong has entered the dynasty, he has no grudge against Ming Gongxiang, and he has a deep understanding of the general situation - Shangdang County Gongyun wants to seal the Ming Duke Zhao Wang, and he can see a glimpse of it - it can echo each other from afar, in order to Yu Jin Kou. ”

When Zhixiong, Wang Yang and others heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other. They are all Shi Le's original subordinates, and they are bent on arching Shi Le to the emperor's throne, and now listening to what Zhang Jing says, Liu Yao is in power, and he may treat Zhao Gong well, so ...... Wouldn't Zhao Gong have no reason to stand on his own?

What "misfortune and blessing rely on" is clearly a misfortune that does not go alone!

I listened to Zhang Jing's final suggestion: "Therefore, the minister thinks that the Ming Duke should rush into Hanoi, if he can break the Zu Ti and take Hanoi before Pei should come to the aid, then the south can threaten Luoyang, so that the Jin people dare not cross the big river, and the north can be connected with the county prince and general Xuan of the state Shangdang, and north of the big river, ten counties, I have eight of them." At that time, the Ming Duke was coveted in the world, and he was still worried about Jin Kou? ”

Shi Le deliberately didn't understand the sentence "the world can be coveted", but frowned and asked: "If you can't break the ancestor in a hurry, and Pei Wenyue comes to help, how to deal with it?" ”

Zhang Jing replied: "I ordered the Shangdang County Public to urgently explore the information of Hedong, and invited Yu Yongwang to go south to guard Linfen and Jiangyi. Then there is his army on the border, Pei should not dare to go east, no worries. ”

Shi Le groaned: "In this way, Shi Hu can no longer send an army to respond to Hanoi, then I am only under the command of the two generals of Zhao and Tao, and there are only forty or fifty thousand people in Zhaogu, may I break the ancestors?" ”

Zhang Jing said with a smile: "There is no sure victory in the war, it is all planned by the Ming Gong, but how can there be any reason to say defeat without a war?" ”

The corners of Shi Le's mouth grinned slightly, and he asked Zhang Bin: "What does the right Hou think?" ”

Zhang Bin arched his hand and said: "What Zhang Sima said is true. Therefore, it is necessary to rush to Hanoi, if the army is slowed down, I am afraid that Luoyang will transfer the army of Yan and Yu again, and it will be difficult to break it. And ......" paused, and suddenly laughed: "Even if you are a thief, it is not easy to break through, and you should also protect the prefecture and county, so that the Jin people cannot all get Hanoi." Besides, now that Zhao Gutun's grain is between Shanyang and Wude, if I retreat like this, will I not be able to supply grain to the Jin people? ”

The implication is that even if we want to retreat, we have to go over and empty the food prepared by Zhao Gu first!

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Let's say that Liu Cang heard the bad news in "Xue Qiangbi", although he didn't believe it, he didn't dare to be an ostrich with his head buried in the sand, and he thought that Xue Ning had a resolute attitude, and he was sad, so he turned sharply, still holding Xue Tao and Pei Shuo hostage, and ran into Wenxi County in one breath.

He sent Li Jingnian to Pingyang on horseback, to find out the news, to rectify the defeated army by himself, and stayed in the county for only one night, and then set off in a hurry, heading north to Pingyang. But just after walking to the north of Linfen, suddenly Li Jingnian ran back with Jin Zhun to report that Liu Yao had entered Pingyang!

Liu Cang was shocked and angry, and scolded Jin Zhun and said: "I will leave the heavy responsibility of staying in you and entrust it to you, now that you have lost Pingyang, what face do you have to return to see Lonely?!" Jin Zhun knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, and explained, it was not that I was weak in defending the city, so I was taken by Liu Yao, but that the important ministers of the court and the central government were the internal response of the traitor!

- He hasn't been able to figure out who did it.

Liu Cang almost broke his front teeth, and he was about to swing his army into the capital on the spot to fight Liu Yao. Jin Zhun and the others finally stopped him, and they all said that now that the army has been defeated at the beginning and has no combat power, how can it be possible to compete with Liu Yao-"Your Highness might as well temporarily stay in Linfen and Jiangyi, and only after revitalizing the army, can you return to the dynasty to eliminate traitors!" ”

Liu Cang had no choice but to stop the army. He hurriedly sent a messenger to return to the court and apologize to Liu Cong - the main purpose, of course, was to inform his father that your son and I are still alive.

But several times of envoys were secretly intercepted and killed by Liu Yao. Because Liu Yao was in charge of the country at the beginning of the year, the people's hearts were undecided, and at this critical juncture, he didn't dare to let Liu Cong and others know that Liu Cang was still alive. Waiting until a few days later, Qiao Tai, Wang Teng and others will flee to Liu Cang's army one after another, and then Qiao Tai volunteered to lead a group of soldiers and horses to return north to Jin to pay homage to Liu Cong.

Since he has a lot of soldiers, it is inconvenient for Liu Yao to invite robbery, and in the name of Qiao Tai, Liu Yao does not dare to use poison - once the news is leaked, his reputation will inevitably be damaged, and Liu Cong will have an excuse to turn against him.

Qiao Tai successfully arrived in Pingyang, and was able to report the defeat of Hexi, as well as the news that Liu Cang and Liu Ji brothers survived, to Hu Han Junchen - of course, about the process of the war, some whitewashing, as if it was not a war, purely unblessed. Liu Cong hadn't been drunk for several days in a row, and he actually listened to the government in the court, and after listening to his words, he couldn't help but be furious, and even slapped the table and said: "The son doesn't know the soldiers, how can there be a reason to besiege a city alone with 200,000 people?!" ”

Immediately issued an edict, asking Liu Cang to return to Pingyang as soon as possible and come to apologize in person.

Qiao Tai hurriedly said: "The Jin people have entered Hedong, or will go north to invade Pingyang, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince garrisoned between Linfen and Jiangyi, built a fortress and garrisoned, and did not dare to return suddenly. Before the minister's departure, His Royal Highness held the minister's hand and wept: 'After this great defeat, I have the face to return to the court, and see my father again?' Now we should wait for the Jin Kou here, that is, die, so that the Jin Kou soldiers will not come to Pingyang and endanger the country. If I die in battle, please don't choose the prince - the king of Hejian (referring to Liu Cong's second son Liu Yi) is smart and old, and he can be appointed later; If the minister can defeat Jin Kou, atone for his sins a little, and then return to Pingyang, it is not too late to ask the monarch for his guilt. ’”

These words are the result of a long discussion between the Liu Cang brothers and the monarchs and ministers. Everyone said that Your Highness, you can't return to Pingyang rashly, and now that Liu Yao is in power, if Your Highness returns to Pingyang, it will be tantamount to a sheep falling into the mouth of a tiger, and I am afraid that your life will be difficult to complete. Let's temporarily camp outside the capital, it is also a constraint for Liu Yao, so he will not dare to act recklessly, let alone murder the Son of Heaven......

But I am afraid that the Son of Heaven will be held hostage by Liu Yao and will issue an edict ordering His Royal Highness to return to the court, so it must be said like this...... Although this passage is short, it contains two meanings: first, I can't believe Liu Yao, so naturally I won't return to the court easily, so I used the excuse of blocking the Jin people's attack and temporarily stationed outside the capital; Second, I am still the prince of the country, and I also ask the Son of Heaven and King Yong not to forget - Jiyun "If I die in battle, please don't choose the prince", the implication is, of course, that as long as I am alive, then no one will want to shake this son!

The country is easy to store, which is a major event, and it is difficult for even the Son of Heaven to make a decision. But if Liu Cong is really of the same mind as Liu Yao, or insist on issuing an edict and ordering Liu Cang to return to the court, or simply I will deprive you of the position of crown prince, don't choose a virtuous child, you can show such an attitude in front of the ministers first. Of course, compared with his son and his brother, which Liu Cong prefers is more inclined to, there is no need to ask at all......

Therefore, after Liu Cong listened to Liu Cang's words relayed by Qiao Tai, he was still angry on the surface, and scolded his uncompetitive son for a bloody head, but in the end not only agreed to Liu Can's request not to return to the dynasty temporarily, but also did not mention the matter of Yi Chu, and even refused to deprive Liu Cang of the title of "Great Prime Minister".

Liu Yao was inevitably depressed because of this, and after going down to court, he secretly consulted with Liu Jun and said: "It's a pity, Liu Cang won't die!"

"If the world is really disappointed in Liu Can, and has the intention of working with me to revive the country, even if Liu Can's position as crown prince is not abolished for the time being, the prime minister's order should be transferred to others. I am not like Liu Cang, I have the ambition to hold Ertai (Shangshutai and Shan Yutai) alone, but now there are many heirs, half in Pingyang, but I can choose the kings of Hejian and other kings as prime ministers. Now that such a measure clearly wants to restrain me with Liu Cang, then the country is divided into two parts, but what should I do? ”

Liu Jun comforted him: "Ming Gong doesn't have to be hateful, this is also expected, the Son of Heaven has no choice but to accept Ming Gong, how can he be sincere?" However, if the prime minister is not placed, the authority of the public will be clear, and it will be disadvantageous to the Ming public. Although Liu Cang is now the prime minister, he is stationed outside the army and cannot interfere in the government affairs, but he can make Cui Yi's lord Shangshu, Yizhi's Su Xin Ming Gong, then Ming Gong has no name as prime minister, but there is the fact of prime minister, and the two Taiwan are independent, so why are you afraid of Liu Can?

"Although Liu Cang is between Linfen and Jiangyi, how can the defeated army be rectified? Recently, there have been nearly 1,000 people returning from the river, and Liu Cang and other soldiers have gathered up to 30,000 troops, and the strength is weak, and if their food and straw are cut off, what is the trouble?

"The minister is planning three strategies for the Ming Duke: first, the heart of the inner and the strongest, the courage to strengthen the forbidden army, and slowly reject the sons of today, so that they cannot take charge of the army; Waihe Shi, Jin Shile Zhao Wang, Shihu Jinyang County Gong, thought it was support; and leave Qiao Tai and others unsent, and slowly shake his will, which can make Liu Cang weaker.

"Second, when Liu Cang was in the past, the Son of Heaven was drunk all day long and ignored state affairs, so he was named the prince, and he was actually in charge of the country; However, now that the Ming Duke is in power, the Son of Heaven is singing and dancing, far beautiful, and avoiding wine, which seems to have the intention of cheering up, and really wants to restrain the Ming Gong. It is possible to enter more beautiful colors and make the Son of Heaven intoxicated, so that it is convenient for the Ming Gong to spread.

"Third, I expect that although Pei should win, the army is also tired, and may not rush to Pingyang. If he comes, he can kill Liu Cang with his hands; If he doesn't come, after Liu Cang has accumulated a little, he will order him to go south to recover the counties of Hedong, and with the power of the Jin people, he will thwart his momentum! ”
