Chapter 14: Suspicion
After Cui Tao was reprimanded by Wen Qiao, he ran to lobby Murong Diao, saying that he was willing to give money, silk, cattle and sheep, and even cede Changli County in exchange for Murong Clan's withdrawal. Murong Diao refused, and asked Cui Tao to bring a message to Wen Qiao, saying: "For the sake of Uncle Ling, the one who descends is the best policy, and the one who leaves is also the next policy." ”
Cui Tao fled to Xiangping in embarrassment, and reported to Cui Yu, Cui Yu had nothing to do, and immediately got the report, Murong Bing had already followed Cui Tao and killed under Xiangping City...... So Cui Yu abandoned his family and small, and rode to Goguryeo alone. Cui Taonai and the former Shang Shulang Gao Zhan opened the city gate together and descended in front of the Murong army.
After Murong Diao entered the city, he immediately plundered the army, wanting to take all the people and wealth back to his hometown. Wen Qiao was ordered by Liu Kun to go to plead, saying: "Although Pingzhou is down, Juli is still in its east, and when Cui Yu was there, he was harassed at the age of age. If the general takes all the captives and goes west, leaving the empty city in Dasikong, Dasikong will inevitably be difficult to defend, is it necessary to wait for the Guli soldiers to come to the city, and then ask the general for help? It is that although the general chases Cui Yu, and Pingzhou is not with Dasikong, but with Ju Li. ”
Murong Diao quibbled and said: "I am Dongyi, and it is not easy to prohibit the plundering of my department, and it is not that I don't want to live in Liaodong in peace." "It is to release the captive people and goods, and release half of them to Liu Kun.
- As for Murong Han, he not only went down to Xuansu, but also looted on a large scale, Liu Kun and Wen Qiao had no tricks at all.
Liu Kun had Pingzhou, that is, he obeyed the previous promise, and said that Murong Han was the county guard of Beiping, and Murong Hao was the county guard of Liaoxi. He ordered Cui Yue to guard Changli County, Liu Qun to guard Liaodong Kingdom, and Liu Yan to guard Xuansu County - as for Lelang and Belt Fang on the peninsula, even Cui Yu couldn't stretch out his hand, let alone Liu Dasikong, who had just entered the state.
Bohai people are high-looking, in front of the word, there are few talents, Guangxi Zhong supplemented Shang Shulang, Yongjia was in turmoil, returned to his hometown, and his uncle Gao Yin led thousands of families to migrate north to Youzhou, attached to Wang Jun. Then, because of the chaos of Wang Jun's decree, it was based on Cui Yu and from Liaodong. In the original history, Gao Zhan surrendered to Murong, and Murong Diao ordered him to be a general, but Gao Zhan said that he was not sick - it is estimated that he was proud of his high door and did not want to be attached to him - because Song should persuade Murong Diao to get rid of him, he was not at ease and died in fear. But on this timeline, Gao Zhan was recommended by Wen Qiao, and he returned to Liu Kun and was appointed to join the army.
Besides, Murong Diao had just returned to the headquarters, and he received a private message from Pei Gai from the Tuoba Department, and not long after, Liu Kun, who was far away in Xiangping, also received a letter from Murong Clan. Liu Kun couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity, Pei Wen expects me very much, but I have just arrived in Pingzhou, and I have more than enough strength to return to Youzhou this year?" ”
Gao Zhan read Pei Gai's letter, but he couldn't help frowning, he reminded Liu Kun: "Da Sima sent a private letter to Ming Gong, this is not respect for Ming Gong, I'm afraid it's a secret suspicion and jealousy......"
When Liu Kun heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised, so he asked: "Pei Mou personally wrote the book, and his words were very sincere, although he did not respect the elders, he also held the number of ministers in the same hall, how could Qing say that he was secretly suspicious?" ”
Gao Zhan arched his hand and said: "If the minister is disrespectful, I hope that the Ming Gong will not be guilty." ”
Liu Kundao, don't worry, say it boldly, I won't blame it.
So Gao Zhan explained: "Of course, Ming Gong precedes Da Sima in his official career; On the teeth, loyal to the elderly; That is, in terms of name, the second and third divisions, the difference is also limited to the first line......"
At the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, the eight dukes were ordered in the basic order of the Shanggong (Dazai, Taifu, and Taibao), followed by the second major (Da Sima, Great General), and then the third division (Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong). Now there is only Dazai Sima Rui in Shanggong, and the Central Plains naturally respects Pei Gai and Liu Kun is humble. However, all the rankings are Gonglu, and the positions are all listed as one product, and this little difference is almost negligible - just a group of high-ranking officials come out, and according to the rules, who stands in front and who ranks behind.
According to Gao Zhan's analysis, Liu Kun is higher than Pei Gai in terms of seniority and age, even if he must stand under Pei Gai in the court, if he salutes in private, Pei should pay tribute first. However, none of this is important, the important thing is - "The Duke of Ming first fell to the annexation of the state, regained the lost Youzhou, and was located in Pingzhou for a short time, while the Great Sima went on a northern expedition and collected Yiluo, regained from Chang'an to respect the Son of Heaven, set up a platform in Guanzhong, and the governor of the world ...... the soldiers and horses" Pei Gai's merits and fame are far above you!
It is said that when Liu Kun stopped his army in Bintu County, the news was quite closed - because he and the Murong clan, a joint group, were enemies on three sides, and the north was a grassland desert - Pei should recover Taiyuan, before Liu Kun captured Pingzhou, but he had to wait until he entered Xiangping City to get the letter. The news first spread eastward to Qing and Xu, and then through the merchant fleet formed by Wei Xun, it was sent to Pingzhou through the sea and around a large circle.
After Liu Kun heard the news that day, his face was very ugly, and he sighed: "I have no chance to return to Jinyang in this life." "The land he lost by himself was reclaimed by others, so is he still qualified and has the face to go back? Or it will become a lifelong regret!
So Gao Zhan said, compared with the two, Ming Gong, you are now much worse than Pei Da Sima, and he is the governor of the world, at least the Central Plains, soldiers and horses, so according to human nature, it is normal to give you an order directly to restore Youzhou to the west. Why do you want to write a private letter and use a consultative tone to suggest or encourage you to go west?
"Ming Gong has been neglected in China and Korea for a long time, and has been repeatedly defeated, Da Sima is suspected that Ming Gong has a decadent heart, or the will to secession, so it is inconvenient to go straight to life, and to pay in private letters. What's so different about bondage? ”
It's like dealing with those foreign regimes that are restricted, one is that you are not purely in our system, and the other is that you are afraid that you will rebel, so even if you are ordered to be polite, lest it cause unnecessary discord.
When Liu Kun heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Pei Wenyue thinks I am the king Peng Zuhu? "Wang Junna really has the ambition of separation, and his heart is well known, but I have always been respectful to China and North Korea, right? Although it has been neglected for a long time, it is because of the defeat...... I didn't mean to!
Turning his head and asking Wen Qiao: "Tai Zhen has gone south to Luoyang several times, and even Chang'an, and has seen Pei Wenyue, who is he like a person?" ”
Wen Qiao was also lowering his head, pondering Gao Zhan's words, listening to and thinking about it, he said: "The great Sima is a man of leniency, or it is not as good as what Zi ......said before" Gao Zhan shook his head and said: "In the troubled times, how can there be a person who can make contributions like the great Sima?" Then he asked Liu Kun to temporarily withdraw from everyone, leaving him and Wen Qiao alone to ask the right questions.
When all the idle people had withdrawn, Gao Zhan Nai lowered his voice and said: "The minister is in Xiangping, and there are often maritime merchants from Qing, Xu and even Yangzhou, and the minister asks about the situation in the Central Plains. The people of Yangzhou, the cloudy Danyang Wang only hung the arch, and the Wang family was in charge of power, and they were almost divided in the south of the Yangtze River. And the people of Qing and Xu praised Da Sima, and even revealed in their words that Da Sima is in charge of national politics, and the Central Plains is alone, even if Xun, Zu, Liang, etc., also drive other retainers - those who can determine the world, only Da Sima, what is Sima's merit? ”
When Liu Kun and Wen Qiao heard this, they were all shocked, and Wen Qiao hurriedly said: "Ziqian, this is not a person who can talk nonsense!" ”
Gao Zhan hurriedly prostrated himself and apologized, and then explained: "This is what the Qing and Xu people want, and as for other places, it is not what the ministers dare to say." However, Qing and Xu are like this, and there is no difference between wanting to come to Guanzhong, although the world is big, Da Sima has won a quarter of the hearts of the people, and he has regained heavy troops and built Qixun, which is like this. I implore Ming Gong to transpose and think, if Ming Gong is in Chang'an, what will he think? ”
Liu Kun groaned slightly, and then said: "As Zi said before, Pei Wenyue's suspicion of me is not because I have been alienated from China and the DPRK for a long time, but because I am not his subordinate." After a pause, he took care of Gao Zhan: "Qing Shicai's words, after today, be careful not to say anything more, so as not to cause trouble." "Bow down and obey your fate.
So Liu Kun turned to Wen Qiao and said: "We live far away, and we are far away, and the situation between China and North Korea can only be hearsay. I also have to ask Taizhen to Luoyang and Chang'an again, find out the bottom for me, and test Pei Wenyue...... and the heart of the ancestors. ”
Wen Qiao nodded and said, "Fang Wen Ziqian's words, the minister also has this intention. The Duke of Ming received Pingzhou, just to report the victory to the imperial court, and the minister was willing to accept this important responsibility. "In fact, the report is false, and the name is true. Now that the hand of China and the DPRK is far from being able to reach out to the quiet and peaceful, as long as Liu Kun starts playing in time, he will definitely be recognized for his actions; If it drags on for a long time, when the hand of the court can be stretched out, maybe someone will question it - Cui Yu is also a Jin minister, and the reverse form is not revealed, why doesn't Da Sikong cut down the secluded and take the peace?
Liu Kun then asked again: "However, with the words in Pei Wen's covenant, how should I reply?" ”
Gao Zhan persuaded and said: "Now that Youzhou is empty, the opportunity cannot be lost, even if the Ming Duke has Pingzhou at the beginning and has no time to look west, he should also ask General Murong to lead his troops to attack it, so as to take advantage of its disadvantages - it can also be the momentum of the Ming Gong." Liu Kun bowed his head and wrote to Murong Diao about this. Murong Diao's side defeated Cui Yu, and he was full of ambition, so he immediately sent troops and ordered Murong Hao to lead him to Yan State.
Besides, although Zhang Bin deliberately showed weakness and lured Liu Kun and Murong to take Pingzhou in the east, he did not feel that he could sit back and relax. He moved the state from Zhuo County in Fanyang to Jixian County in Yan State, poured out all the treasury, and recruited the scattered Hu in the territory—including the surrendered Duan Xianbei—to form an army, and trained day and night.
Later, when he heard that Liu Kun had entered Xiangping, Zhang Mengsun couldn't help but sigh: "Cui's high gate is also a pig and a dog!" "Cui Yu, why can't you stay for a few more months?
He can be regarded as having seen through this high-ranking disciple. In the past, Xun Xian and Cui Xuan could not correct Wang Jun's gains and losses, and even lost in a war, and could not sacrifice and martyrdom. Later, there were Cui Yu and Cui Tao, who were strong and long, but the defensive battle was fought for less than 20 days, and they lost the entire Pingzhou.
And even if Liu Kun got into Xiangping, he basically relied on the power of Murong Xianbei, and he himself was completely because of people - from Wang Jun, Wang Yan, Liu Kun, Pei Xian, to Qinghe, Boling Zhucui, high-ranking dignitaries, most of them are just some mediocre talents who can only dance and write. If it weren't for these "show talents, I don't know books; Cha Xiaolian, his father lives separately; Han Su is as innocent as mud, and Gao Diliang monopolizes the cowardly "chicken" guy, why is the world in turmoil? Why should we not support the lord in order to show our talents?
Of course, among this group of high-ranking dignitaries, there is also an outlier of Pei Gai...... There is nothing more than this to make people in creation. I don't know if it's because Jin Zuo hasn't ended, or because of the fate of heaven......
According to Zhang Bin's judgment, Cui Bi was unable to serve as Murong's army, and most of them would be defeated—unless he invited reinforcements from Goguryeo in time—and Liu Kun was unable to invade Youzhou again when he first recovered Pingzhou. It's just that if the Murong clan wins too smoothly, it may take the opportunity to move west again - the problem is that Cui Yu lost so quickly, but even Zhang Bin couldn't think of it.
Finally, after reporting that the Murong Ministry had sent troops to the west, Zhang Bin hurriedly gathered the garrisons of the nearby cities, and the newly formed 5,000 elite soldiers, totaling more than 10,000, laid down a defensive line along the ditch, and at the same time sent people to ask for help from the Yuwen clan. Murong Hao first attacked Yongnu and spent twenty days to capture the city, but Zhang Bin refused to save him. Murong's army returned to the north, and then hit Lu County, the same as Yongnu, all in the east of Zhigou.
Murong Hao was young and vigorous, and he was anxious to make meritorious contributions, so he could suppress his brother, so he attacked two cities in a row regardless of fatigue, and saw that Zhang Bin did not dare to cross the river to save him, so he thought it was cowardly and did not care much. However, just when he attacked Lu County, Yuwenxun Nick Yan led the army to arrive, and in accordance with Zhang Bin's instructions, he headed eastward without end, wanting to cut off the back road of Murong Army. Murong Hao divided his troops to block, and Zhang Bin took the opportunity to wave his army across the ditch and launched a rapid surprise attack on Murong's camp under Luxian County.
Murong Hao was defeated and was forced to retreat to no end, but on the way, he was flanked by Yuwen's army and suffered heavy losses. Zhang Bin approached the end, joined forces with Yuwenxun and Yanyan, and immediately ordered someone to send a letter into the city, saying:
"The Northeast slippery Xiaokou, who doesn't know the sky, doesn't respect the king, but thinks that the king is powerless to conquer? However, my heavenly king respects his loyal ministers, and wants to destroy the Jin Dynasty first and eliminate your desires, so that your father and son can repent and take all their lives. If it stops in Beiping and the two counties of Liaoxi, it is expected to be sealed on a different day; If I covet it, I should first take the lives of your father and son for the king, and why should I wait for the return of the king? ”
When Murong Hao saw the book, he was resentful and ashamed, and was forced to send an envoy to ask his father for reinforcements. Murong Diao discussed with the ministers, and Lu Chang said Look, how can I say it, Zhang Mengsun is not easy to figure out! He asked to follow the three generals, Murong Ren, and go to the rescue together.
When Murong Ren arrived, the city was already in danger, and the reinforcements repeatedly assaulted, but they were never able to enter the city, and were forced to set up camp ten miles east of the city. Lu Changnai asked to see Zhang Bin, and said that Murong was willing to stop at Beiping and Liaoxi two counties in the easternmost part of Youzhou, and would never invade Yanguo and other places again, hoping that Mrs. Zhang could accept it when he saw it and save the life of my second son.
Zhang Bin asked him: "Qing is the Dai County Gaoshi, General Murong of Jiushi, I don't know why he is Xu Ren?" Lu Chang naturally praised Murong Diao like a flower. Zhang Bin reminded him with a smile: "Although General Murong is also a heroic man in the world, it is a pity to ignore what happened after his death. Jin Zuo has no hope of revival, even if it does not fall into the hands of my heavenly king, it will belong to another surname, and the general is still expected to be a loyal minister of Jin? And how can I make the eldest son of the concubine a heavy army, and the side of the other town, and order the son-in-law to be my sharp reason?
"Qing should also plan for himself, if General Murong is not secret, what will he do? What do you follow? ”
Without waiting for Lu Chang to answer, he said: "If I kill or capture Murong Hao today, but for General Murong to go to a hidden danger, I will not do this." "In this regard, he asked for grain and tribute, and promised that as soon as the supplies arrived, he could be released and retreated.
