Chapter 28, counting not for sale

Liu Fu was in Mengjin, and also sent the cavalry out to the east to investigate the situation of the Jin army near Xiaopingjin. He was rewarded with a report that the Jin army was carrying a banner in the shape of a white ruler on a black background (actually a thunder pattern), perhaps three to five thousand men, but the defense was quite tight, and it was difficult to get close to find out the numbers.

"Who will be the enemy? But should Pei come in person? ”

The sentry detective couldn't answer this question at all, only said that there was no Daxu in the Jin army who was in line with the identity of the governor of Qingxu, and it was estimated that Pei should not come, and he was still stranded in Chenggao City.

Liu Fu was thinking about whether to continue to guard Meng Jin like this, or simply lead his troops and horses forward to try to destroy the enemy in front of him?

As the king of Bohai and a general, he should charge ahead and destroy the enemy, so how can he live up to the descendants of Emperor Guangwen, how can he always stay at the ferry to protect the back road? Is it because I was near Luoyang before, and I said "Brother Huang is here, how can my brother be the Son of Heaven", which caused my eldest brother Liu Cang to be unhappy, so he sent me to the rear? If the front is victorious, even if I protect the back road, it will be difficult to accomplish great things; If I lose at the front, who will remember my merits afterwards? Isn't this close to throwing idle!

If he can go forward to break the Xuzhou army in Xiaopingjin, it will be a great achievement-but I am afraid that Liu Cang will be blamed for the crime of not obeying military orders and acting rashly......

was hesitating, who would have thought that the Jin army would send someone over and present a letter. Liu Fu first looked at the signature, it was "the criminal minister Guo Mo", and then looked at the content, it turned out that Guo Mo planned to surrender to Hu Han!

Guo Mo said in the letter that he was stationed in Hanoi before, but he was forced by Liu Yi to cross the river to the south and go to Li Ju, but Li Ju was blamed for the crime of retreating without permission, and his attitude towards him was very unfriendly. That's why he left Xingyang and went east to meet Pei Gai, who would have thought that Pei Gai's family, with high vision and arrogant temper, not only annexed Guo's soldiers and horses, but also put him, the "Hanoi Taishou", and the so-called "battalion governors" under his command who were from low backgrounds and received no more than 1,000 people. Guo Mo held a grudge because of this, so he had the idea of surrendering to the Han Kingdom.

This time, he was ordered to feint to attack Mengjin, and there were only a thousand people in his department - only half of them were his original soldiers and horses, and most of them were "begging jobs" collected near Waihuang...... In addition, Guo Mo's troops visited the horses and saw the Han army marching eastward along the south bank of Yishui, which should be to fight Chenggao, but there are only more than 4,000 old and weak remnants in Xuzhou in Chenggao City.

Guo Mo said that in order to avoid death, he finally repented and decided to surrender to the Han Kingdom, hoping that the King of Bohai could accept him. However, in the past, he had fought with the Han army many times, and the Liu family hated himself to the bone, and Guo Mo also knew a lot about it, so he sent an envoy to send a letter to contact, and he didn't dare to come to join him in person - what if you kill and surrender? He asked Liu Fu to agree on a middle point, meet him first, and make a promise not to kill himself.

Liu Fu will write to the generals and ask for the opinions of the big guys. All the generals said: "Guo Mo is cunning, and what he says must be untrue." Did he try to lure the king so that he might set up an ambush for him? Liu Fu laughed and said: "Even if you want to deceive me, I'm not afraid, but I ...... You don't have to take any chances. ”

Liu Fu is known as frivolous, because as a general of Hu Hanguo, he commanded the soldiers and horses of the Beijing Division, but he slipped out of the garrison twice in three days and went to the suburbs to hunt, for which he was impeached more than once, and was also reprimanded and even punished by Liu Cong and Liu Cang. Cui Wei and others persuaded Liu Yi to launch a coup d'état, saying: "The general goes out of the city every day to hunt, and his battalion can be attacked." "However, human nature is very complicated, the label is not easy to stick, it is one thing to manage the army in the rear, and it is another thing to run to the front line to guard the key passes, Liu Fu really has no plans to go out lightly.

Besides, Hu Hanjun has been dealing with Guo Mo for more than a day, and he has also sent envoys to persuade him to surrender many times, so Guo Mo's temper is as hard and cold as a stone, and his scheming is as cunning as a fox, and Liu Fu has often heard of it. Now Guo Mo suddenly sent someone over to say that he was desperate and had to surrender, who would believe it?! Unless he binds himself to throw himself and kneels directly in front of the gate.

Liu Fu immediately replied with a pen and pointed out directly: "What you said, is it a deception? Then he asked: The Xuzhou army was able to defeat tens of thousands of Liu Yi's soldiers and horses on the bank of the ditch before, how can it be said that the army is weak? And there must be more than 10,000, how can there be only 4,000 old and weak in Chenggao City? If Pei Gai really has such a few people left, then Cheng Gao will definitely be difficult to defend, how can he spread out you and try to feint to attack Mengjin in order to mobilize our army? "Almost nothing in your book is true, how can you believe it!"

The messenger brought a reply letter, and Guo Mo smiled when he saw it: "Although Liu Fu was suspicious, he was unwilling to break it." "If he really thinks I'm a fraud, why should he write back? So he discussed with Yin Qiao and replied in a book.

Guo Mo continued to lie in the letter, he said: The Xuzhou army is indeed only 10,000, and the combat effectiveness is not high, the reason why Liu Yi was able to defeat Liu Yi on the bank of the ditch before was that Liu Yi was too wasteful, so that the "begging work" who had just surrendered was the first to be the enemy, and as a result, after the defeat, he scattered the army; The second is that Pei should use Tao Kan's strategy, load soldiers and horses on the grain carrier, go around to the Han army, and burn the pontoon bridge, Liu Yi was afraid that the back road would be cut off, so he took the lead in fleeing north, and the army collapsed in an instant - "This is just a fluke, the so-called thousands of tens of thousands of clouds, but false words." ”

The same is true of the battle of Chenggao Pass, Liu Yi has long been frightened, and when he saw the banner of the Xuzhou army, he abandoned the pass and fled first, otherwise - "That is, the Xuzhou army is tens of thousands, and it can fight, and the sky is extremely dangerous, and there is no reason to go down with a drum." ”

Next, let's talk about the issue of the grain road - "The first time to surrender to the emperor, and to beg for the emperor's brother, it is Chen Wu's uncle Chen Chuan's department, Chen Chuan once killed Pei's brother Pei Song, and he should be chased because of this." After the defeat of the army, Chen Chuan fled to Junyi, killed Chen Wu, and seized his people, and went east to take revenge by cutting off the Xuzhou army's grain route. Although the beggar could not fight, there were thousands of victorious soldiers, so Pei Gai sent the main force back to refuse......

"Previously, the military rations of Yuzhou were detained by the puppet king of the East China Sea stationed in Suiyang, and Zu Ti was to seize the grain of Xuzhou, and the grain of Xuzhou was extinct, Pei should have retreated, but Zu Ti refused, so he was temporarily stationed in Chenggao. Now he made a feint to attack Mengjin, and the plan of the ancestor was also, in order to make Pei should not return to Xuzhou, Pei should order him to come silently - Mo is not his henchman, and the army will be destroyed and it will not be damaged.

"In Chenggao City, there are only 4,000 old and weak, Pei should make the elite go first, repair Chenggao Pass, think that the danger is in hand, that is, Chenggao does not guard, but also can return calmly. With a silent thought, when the heavenly soldiers arrive, there is no need to attack the city, Pei should inevitably go by himself and retreat to Chenggao Pass......"

A large text, seven points of truth, three points of fiction, the truth and the falsehood are mixed together, it is estimated that even if Pei should see it, he will have to raise his thumb to praise "good", and maybe he will say to Guo Mo: Sidao, it is too condescending to let you lead the troops into battle, you might as well assist me in specializing in intelligence warfare!

When the letter was sent to Mengjin, Liu Fu saw it, and couldn't help but bow his head again and again: "This statement is true-then why Liu Yi was defeated, he knows alone." The words are very round, and they don't seem to be fake - of course, there are also preconceived factors that believe that the Xuzhou army is indeed not strong. The general next to him asked: "Then does the king want to welcome Guo Mo?" Liu Fu smiled: "Guo Mo is a clown, and there are only a thousand people in the department, and he doesn't have enough to show off his might, so why take risks alone?" ”

So he wrote a letter, promising that he would accept Guo Mo's surrender, and that he had no intention of surrendering - he stamped his royal seal and sent it back to Guo Mo. That means, I put all my promises on paper, don't you still believe it? Who are you, how can you ask me to meet the King of Bohai in person and answer in person?

When Guo Mo saw the book, he was so angry that he tore it to shreds on the spot - all his hard work came to naught!

The most critical problem with the failure of his plan this time is that the identities of the two sides are not equal, he is just a middle-level general in the Jin army, but the opposite side is the prince and vassal king of Hu Han - if it is an ordinary Hu general in Mengjin, or Pei Gai himself who cheats and demotes, maybe he can add three more points to the chance of winning. Liu Fu is the real "son of a daughter", the so-called "can't sit down", Guo Mo is not only a low status, but there are only 1,000 people in his department, so why did Liu Fu risk to the middle ground to bring you to see you? The risks and benefits are completely incomparable.

Yin Qiao saw Liu Fu's reply, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had long felt that Guo Mo's plan was too risky, even if Liu Fu was in the middle of the plan, he was willing to come to see you, the dignified king of the Hu Han domain, the official worshiped the general, and there was no brave and strong man to protect him, where was it so easy to catch? Unless you Guo Sidao has the courage to slap seven people to death......

Then he asked tentatively: "If the plan is not sold, why don't I go back to Chenggao?" ”

Guo Mo had a gloomy face and shook his head slightly: "Count the hours, Cheng Gao may have encountered the enemy, we will return it in a hurry, or we will die by ourselves, or we will defeat Pei to make the king, we can't do it." ”

"In this case, then stay in Xiaopingjin temporarily, be careful not to move lightly."

However, Guo Mo still shook his head—his painstaking plan failed to succeed, and he was extremely unwilling in his heart—muttered to himself: "Mengjin, Mengjin......" suddenly turned his head and asked Yin Qiao: "Why is it called 'Jin'?" ”

Yin Qiao replied casually: "Jin, cross." ”

Guo Mo suddenly laughed: "Yes, only if it connects the two sides of the strait, it can be crossed, if only one side of the strait can be crossed, how can it be 'Jin'?" "Didn't the Hu army seal the ferry on the south bank of the river, and our soldiers were weak and weak, so we couldn't attack it? And what about the ferries on the North Shore?

When Yin Qiao heard this, he couldn't help but be taken aback: "The general wants to cross north from Xiaopingjin and go to Hanoi?!" ”

Guo Mo's meaning, I was ordered to feint to attack Mengjin, I really don't have to kill the ferry in one go, as long as I stay here with Xiaopingjin, it will become a threat, and the Hu army will inevitably deal with it - the businessman surnamed Yu wrote in the secret letter that Liu Cangxin sent Liu Fu to lead the army to aid Mengjin, which shows how much it has played a role. So what do I do when the task is largely complete? At this time, it is not the best policy to rush back to Chenggao. If Liu Cang personally led a large army to attack Chenggao - looking from a distance through Yishui, I really can't tell how many men and horses there are - I will go back now and give away people's heads for nothing; And if Pei Gai still wants to show weakness and lure the enemy, and I suddenly appear from the rear, I am afraid that it will disrupt his plan, not only will it be useless, but it will be excessive.

So will you stay in Xiaopingjin for a long time? Not to mention that from now on to become an idle man in the war, it is difficult to make meritorious deeds, even if Liu Fu suddenly attacks the whole army, or the Hu army that attacked Chenggao in order to protect the back road, divide the troops to kill, just my more than 1,000 people, and when it is on the plain, it will be difficult to defend, and the army can be overthrown. Therefore, there is no chance of winning in advance, it is unreasonable to retreat, and it is even more dangerous to garrison......

In this case, I will simply cross the Yellow River from Xiaopingjin and go to Hanoi!

Guo Mo has been in Hanoi for several years, although he has only occupied Huai County and its surrounding areas, he is familiar with the geography and contacts of the whole county. In today's Hanoi, the Hu army is a dragon crossing the river, if he goes back, he will be the head of the snake, or even the "return to the hometown group", don't even think about conquering the famous city of Dayi, but the four township guerrillas, attacking the dock fort, looting grain, and even threatening the Yellow River crossing, should have a certain chance of victory. Maybe by chance, it can really cut off the thief's grain channel!

In a strange place, I just have a little bit of people, and I really don't dare to go deep into the enemy territory; If Hanoi is like a family yard, what is there to fear?

At the moment, he revealed his thoughts to Yin Qiao, although Yin Qiao still felt unsafe, but he had to admit that this was probably the best way to deal with the enemy at present. It's just-"You must first make Pei envoy Jun, please give the order." ”

Guo Mo waved his hand: "The fighter plane is changing rapidly, and it cannot be delayed - how can there be time to ask for orders?" "Besides, I can't make a plan, and I have another plan, but what if Pei doesn't agree? He may not let me escape from his grasp. So he immediately wrote a letter, ordered the horse to send it back to Chenggao, and then without waiting for a reply, he crossed the Yellow River from Xiaopingjin - there were not many boats, but fortunately, in the dry season, the water was shallow and slow, and many of Guo Mo's subordinates were people who grew up on the edge of the Yellow River and learned to swim, so they all climbed the side of the boat and swam across.

However, the messenger of the "Thunder Battalion" came to the vicinity of Chenggao quickly, but he was unable to enter the city for a while—as Guo Mo expected, the two armies had already joined the battle!
