Qiao Zhisu and Sun Yalu have known each other for many years, although they rarely work together, they have always maintained friendship with each other, and when they heard that He Rongren had prepared a large army outside Yuyang City, Qiao Zhisu smiled and said: "This is not like Mr. Sun's style." ”

"What's my style?"

"Know it with reason, move it with affection, and persuade each other tactfully, so that the other party is willing, not as bluff as it is now. We all know that Shan Yu left only a very small number of cavalry in Jizhou, but transferred all the soldiers and people from various cities to Qinzhou. Besides, the Liang army has its own scouts and sentinels, and has already figured out the details of Yuyang, and the guards in the city do not exceed 3,000 people, right? ”

Sun Yalu snorted, turned to Xu Ji and said, "There are indeed not many Yuyang defenders, but how can Shan Yu really believe in the imperial court?" He took away the soldiers and people of Jizhou, but after arriving in Qinzhou, he quickly sent Huangfu back to Liaodong, leaving his father Huangfu Kai as a hostage, Mr. Xu should know about this, right? ”

Xu Ji shook his head, "Although I have been by Shan Yu's side for a while, I am not allowed to participate in military affairs. ”

Qiao Zhisu next to him laughed, Sun Yalu still didn't look at him, and said to Xu Ji: "In short, Huangfu has already returned to Liaodong, gathered a large number of people outside the Saiwai, originally to go to Qinzhou to join Shan Yu, just in time for the Liang army to enter Hebei, they have been ordered by Shan Yu to enter the fortress, not far from Yuyang." ”

"I've heard about it." Xu Jidao.

Qiao Zhisu's face changed slightly, "When did Gongzi Xu hear about the Liaodong soldiers entering the fortress?" ”

"I heard Shan Yu say that he sent invitations to the tribes near and far before entering the fortress, and the desolate people gathered in Liaodong by the Huangfu Rank may be these people."

Sun Yalu nodded.

Qiao Zhisu was still skeptical, and quickly smiled: "Even if there is really such an army, it doesn't matter, the people that the Liang army is afraid of are nothing more than a large number of He Rong cavalry, miscellaneous barren people, there is no need to be afraid." ”

Sun Yalu looked at Qiao Zhisu again, "Although the desolate people don't learn the art of war, they are brave and fearless, which makes up for their shortcomings, how long is the Liang army going to defeat them?" ”

"It's just a sweep, and it won't take long."

"Hey, it's better for Xu Gongzi to be more sober, I said to him. Huangfu hurriedly gathered a group of desolate people, although the number is large, but the origin is different and not unified, the battle is brave, but never practiced the military formation, if it is replaced by Xu Gongzi, how to use the soldiers? ”

"I will avoid the sharp edge of the Liang army, sweep around, harass the counties, and surprise attack the grain road, so that the Liang army cannot be stable, and then wait for He Rong's reinforcements to arrive."

Sun Yalu looked at Qiao Zhisu again and didn't say a word.

Qiao Zhisu said with a smile: "Huangfu is not Xu Gongzi, nor is it his father Huangfu Kai, looking at him has always acted, he is flattering and courageless, he does not dare to divide the army, the first battle is unfavorable, he will inevitably be defeated and retreat to Liaodong, and he will not dare to enter the fortress again." ”

"It is precisely because of the emperor's rank and courage that the bullet cannot suppress the desolate people of all the tribes, and it will become a natural trend to divide the troops and plunder."

"Speaking of which, there has to be an army that really exists."

"Mr. Qiao is a strategist, optimistic but not bad, good news but not bad news, is a dereliction of duty. Report my words to King Liang, and ask King Liang to decide. ”

Qiao Zhisu hesitated for a moment and said to Xu Ji: "Please Mr. Xu treat guests here, I will go back when I go." ”

As soon as the others left, Sun Yalu said: "Qiao Zhisu took refuge in Liang Wang Riqian, and only dared to say some innocuous words, and did not dare to insist on admonishment, this matter has to be done by Xu Gongzi." ”

"What is 'this'? Want King Liang to retire? I can't do it, no one can do it. ”

"It's not to retreat, but to ask King Liang to lead his troops to merge the state, and the state is the hometown of the former Liang, and the king of Liang doesn't want to take it back?"

"King Liang has sent an army into Bingzhou."

"To seize the state, or to defend the state?"

"To defend Jizhou." Xu Ji told the truth.

"That is, only take the level, not the big city, it won't last long, King Liang thinks that a winter will allow him to gain a firm foothold in Jizhou?"

"Hmm."

"Hanzhou people also think so, so what?"

"What else does Mr. Sun know in Yuyang?"

Sun Yalu was slightly stunned, "The Meridian Road has been lost, He Rong's army has entered Hanzhou, and Gongzi Xu has not heard of it?" ”

"I've heard of it, just this sentence, I don't know what the detailed situation in Hanzhou is."

"I don't know the details, Yuyang doesn't know, but you and I both know that Qiangjian Shan Yu is quite strategic, and he is by no means an ordinary barbarian king outside the Saiwai, he will not lose Jizhou, nor will he give King Liang a winter......"

"I'll fight for it myself, I don't need anyone to give it to me." Ma Wei came, stood at the doorway, and said.

Sun Yalu hurriedly turned around and arched his hand: "I didn't know that King Liang had arrived, and he was vain for a while, and he looked at Haihan." ”

Ma Wei strode forward, "Go back and tell the emperor and the lord of Huanyan in Yuyang, or come to kneel down to worship the true emperor here, in order to fulfill the festival of father and son, monarchs and ministers, or sit in the city, and wait for me to clean up the Qiangang for the Tiancheng court, there is no other way, no matter whether there are reinforcements outside the fortress, the Liang army will not retreat half a step." ”

Sun Yalu looked at Xu Ji, and without waiting for Xu Ji to speak, Ma Wei said again: "If you want to fight, you will fight, why do you need nonsense?" Those who dare to persuade me to withdraw from the army, behead. ”

There were a lot of people who followed Ma Wei, and no one would speak for Yuyang, so Xu Ji said, "I have an idea." ”

Ma Wei's eyes were like lightning, and he glared fiercely, and Xu Ji immediately added: "It's not to persuade you to retreat, on the contrary, I persuade King Liang to move forward quickly." ”

Ma Wei's face softened, "Do you think Liang Jun is still walking too slowly?" ”

"If there is really an army of desolate people, if the Huangfu rank really has the intention of sweeping around, then the Liang army is indeed a little slow."

"I've sent a large number of scouts to find this so-called reinforcement."

"It may still be too late, as soon as the wastelanders see the scouts, they know that the army is not far away, and they will disperse immediately."

Ma Wei pondered for a moment, "You said you had an idea?" ”

"Maybe we can find a way to keep the desolate people where they are."

"Send an army to deliberately defeat them?"

"This is a clever plan, if you want it to take effect, it is best to have Yuyang's cooperation."

Ma Wei laughed, "You are still so able to go around in circles, I don't need Yuyang's cooperation, Yuyang will not really cooperate, you can feign defeat, just press ......"

Sun Yalu interjected: "Yuyang is willing to cooperate, and he is sincere." ”

"Huh?" Ma Wei and the generals behind him didn't believe it.

Sun Yalu arched his hand and said: "I brought such an important piece of news, not to scare King Liang away, nor just to let King Liang come up with a plan to feint. ”

Ma Wei looked at Xu Ji, thinking that he was secretly offering advice to Yuyang, Xu Ji smiled: "It's better to listen to Mr. Sun." ”

Sun Yalu arched his hand again, "Not long after I met Xu Gongzi, there were always others present in the tent, what the two of us said, King Liang will know as soon as he asks." ”

There were two guards standing at the door all the time, Ma Wei didn't ask, and said to Sun Yalu: "You insist on seeing me, you must really have something to say." ”

"Before leaving, Your Majesty has three explanations for me......"

"Your Majesty or the Lord of the County?" Ma Wei asked coldly, he knew very well who in Yuyang City was talking and counting.

"It's all the same, in short, there are three explanations, saying that King Liang agrees to any of them."

"Hmm."

"The first one, naturally, is to ask King Liang to withdraw from ......"

"Needless to say, I don't agree with this, and the soldiers of the Liang army will not agree."

Sun Yalu sighed lightly, and didn't have much hope for Yiyuan, "Before King Liang arrived, I was talking to Xu Gongzi, hoping that King Liang could lead his troops to capture and ...... state."

Ma Wei immediately shook his head, "Bingzhou is sandwiched between Ji and Qin, and the enemy is on the left and right, I can't hold it, you don't need to say it, even Xu Ji, I don't think it's a good idea, right?" ”

"It's not the best way to go." Xu Jidao.

Sun Yalu gave up his hand again, "The last one is that King Liang led his troops to attack Qinzhou. ”

Ma Wei was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Did you say the wrong thing, or did the county lord panic and come up with such a one?" ”

The Liang generals who came along also laughed, and Qiao Zhisu shook his head lightly.

Sun Yalu didn't smile, "King Liang still has to cancel the title of King Jibei." ”

Ma Wei's face was slightly gloomy, "I've heard enough......"

"King Liang might as well listen to the benefits given by Yuyang again."

"Unless you are willing to give up the whole of Jizhou." Ma Wei laughed.

"Is King Liang's ambition only in one Jizhou?"

"Hey." Ma Wei refused to admit that he was starting to be interested, and walked directly to the chair and sat down.

Sun Yalu turned around and continued: "Yuyang was forced to lead He Rong's cavalry into the fortress, which was really undesirable, I wanted to wait for the situation to stabilize a little before finding a way to drive him out of the fortress, but King Liang was so anxious ......"

"I still haven't heard the 'benefits.'" Ma Wei didn't want to listen to these useless words.

"King Liang can get the whole of Jizhou, but the imperial court will remain in Yuyang."

"It's kind of interesting, but it's not enough to make me change my mind."

"King Liang has been canonized by the imperial court, and he can be reappointed as a general, and he will be ordered to crusade against He Rongren."

"The general's empty name, I'm not rare, this is your benefit, not mine."

"The imperial court ceded the two states of Qin and Qin, and King Xu Liang set up a national temple, which has been passed down from generation to generation."

"Did you just ask me 'ambition is only in one Jizhou'? Now they are using just two states to perfunctory me. ”

"Above the Liang Kingdom, what the imperial court can't allow, King Liang takes it himself."

Ma Wei said with a smile: "For a small Yuyang City, the county lord can be said to do everything. ”

"The person the county lord cares about is not Yuyang City, but the name: there is only one emperor, and now in Yuyang City, King Liang must first admit this, and then expel the alien race in the name of the imperial court."

"The county lord...... Do you think I'm stupid? ”

"The county lord admires King Liang very much......"

"In that case, why is she trying to fool me?"

Xu Ji interjected on the side: "King Liang, can I say a word?" ”

"Say."

"The Liang army is attacking Hebei, the biggest enemy is He Rongbu, this winter, next spring is still inevitable a battle, in this case, why not get rid of this big trouble in advance? The enemy is strong and I am weak, the defensive position seems to be safe, but in fact it is sitting and waiting to be killed, nothing more than a little slower, the offensive seems to be risky, but by surprise, or there is a glimmer of life, even if there is only a chance of victory, it is better than a certain destruction. ”

"Others talk about it, too." Ma Weidao.

Qiao Zhisu had been listening for a long time, and said: "It's too risky, not to mention that there is still an army of desolate people that has not been eliminated." ”

Sun Yalu immediately said: "As long as King Liang nods, Yuyang will find a way to leave the wasteland people outside the Saiwai and prevent them from dividing their troops to plunder." ”

Gao Shengze whispered: "Yuyang is already in the bag of King Liang, but Qin and are in the hands of a strong enemy, the court is going to exchange it for easy, King Liang should not be fooled." ”

A few more people spoke, Ma Wei waved his hand, indicating that he had made a decision: "Send troops tomorrow morning, I will go to Yuyang to talk to the county lord face to face, if the county lord wants to express his sincerity, he will first stabilize the army of the desolate people." ”
