Chapter 46: Shock
Qiao Tai and others protected Liu Cong's coffin, and passed the jade seal of the country and the emperor's six seals, and went south along the road from Fenxi, and sure enough, the next day they met Liu Cang's department head-on-Liu Cang's department - Liu Cang was defeated by Liu Yao at the foot of Chongshan Mountain, and saw that the enemy's banner was still planted on the mountain, so he did not dare to attack again, turned to Jifen, and went north along the west bank, just to meet Qiao Tai and others......
When Liu Cang and others saw Liu Cong's body, they all cried bitterly, and then news came, saying that Liu Yao had settled in Pingyang and embraced the acting king Liu Heng to ascend the throne. Liu Cang couldn't help but scold: "Jin maid is cheap, how can you be a king?!" After Qiao Tai, Wang Teng, Jin Zhun and others discussed, they put the ochre robe on Liu Cang's body and embraced him as the king, so as to oppose Liu Yao and Liu Heng in Pingyang.
Liu Cang is also busy giving the dead father a number, called Emperor Zhaowu, the temple name Liezong, and now he is cutting down a wooden coffin and is ruthless, and he is also amnesty to the world, but Liu Yao, Liu Heng and their henchmen are not pardoned, and most of the generals under his command are promoted to the third level, and the new court team is formed.
Then Liu Yao and Liu Cang issued an edict almost at the same time, sending envoys to Xiangguo and Jinyang to ask for help from Shi Le's uncle and nephew. Even the content of the edict is very close, one is to recognize Shi Le's name of King Zhao, and the other is to add Shi Hu as the prince of Shangdang County, the only difference is that Liu Cang uses the emperor's seal (used to seal the country) and the emperor's seal (used to give the princes), and Liu Yao's side is the two stamps that are looking for someone to be on the occasion.
Liu Cang's ascension to the throne in the wild, the issuance of the book, the distribution of ministers, and the temporary absolutes of Liu Cong's body and the setting up of the mourning hall, this whole set of things was roughly completed, and it took an extra day and a half to delay. He immediately convened hundreds of officials to discuss the end, and he himself planned to set off immediately, continue to go north, and capture Pingyang in one go, but the ministers all looked at each other and refused to obey.
If Liu Cong is not dead, and Liu Hu and others are still in the city, then as soon as Liu Can's army arrives, the inside and outside should be united, and Liu Yao will inevitably be defeated; Even if Liu Cong had just died and the hearts of the people in the city were still uncertain, it was believed that Liu Yao would not be able to immediately absorb the remnants of the forbidden army and stabilize the situation, then Liu Cang would have a chance of winning with a large number of soldiers and advancing rapidly. But now that Liu Yao has completely occupied Pingyang, it has been two days - by the time we arrive, it will take three or four days - and the defense will be consolidated.
Therefore, Jin Kang first made a suggestion, saying that it is better for us to retreat to Linfen and Jiangyi for the time being, re-accumulate, and then try to make a big move. Liu Cang was furious when he heard this, and directly lifted the whip leaning on the side of the case, slapped Jin Kang in the face fiercely, and shouted: "How cowardly you are! β
Then he said something to him, explaining that we can only continue to move forward now, and we must not retreat-
"Although there is a shortage of food in the army, if you go forward or you can survive in death, if you return, how can there be surplus food to eat in Linfen and Jiangyi? And although the Jin people didn't answer me, Zhen Sui was lying high in Xie County Town, refusing to press, in order to make me fight with Liu Yongming; Now, if you hear that the first emperor has died, and Yongming will be able to take Pingyang, won't you take the opportunity to lead your division north to take my head? Shall we be allowed to accumulate in peace?
"For today's plan, the only way to continue to move forward is to reach the city of Pingyang, maybe there are still loyal ministers in the city, willing to secretly open the door to welcome our army in. Even if you can't sneak into the city, you can still loot supplies under the city and wait for Shi Hu to come......"
What Liu Cang said also has a certain amount of truth, but Qiao Tai immediately pointed out: "Your Majesty, you are ...... Liu Yongming will also send an envoy to Jinyang to summon Shi Hu, but Shi Hu is willing to come, and it is still unknown who he will help. β
Liu Cang furrowed his brows and said, "I naturally know about this matter, but I also have to take risks. If Shi Hu should go south to attack Yongming, and I am not there, then he has entered Pingyang, how can he give it up again? Even if I welcome me, I don't dare to enter, for fear that I will fall into the hands of the slaves - only when my army is there, Shi Hu will not dare to be delusional. And if Shi Hu really helps Yongming, this heaven abandons me, and I can't think about it......"
After discussing for a long time, Wang Teng suggested dividing troops to take Xiangling and even Yang County, to see if there was something to be excavated in the treasury of the two cities. Immediately decided, he continued to move the main force north, Chen soldiers in the suburbs of Pingyang, in order to force Liu Yao, but looking at the sky, it is estimated that he will not be able to go today - "Tomorrow, four drums will be cooked, five drums will set off, and the army will follow me to rebel!" β
The generals returned to their own accounts, among which Jin Kang still had a bloody stain on his face, and he had to wait until he returned to his own tent before he finally got the opportunity to apply medicine for treatment. Jin Zhun and Jin Ming both came to visit Jin Kang, and Jin Kang said with a bitter face: "The Son of Heaven is so irritable, if my words do not match his wishes, he will whip his face...... Brother, since Liu Yao has consolidated the momentum of Pingyang, how can it be easy to attack? β
Jin Ming also said: "The army's food and straw will be exhausted, and it will only last for four or five days at most, even if Shi Hu is willing to come to help, he may not be able to wait until then...... Your Majesty will cook four drums tomorrow, I don't know what to cook? β
Jin Zhun's face was gloomy, his hand held his chin, and he was silent for a long time. Jin Kang and Jin Ming glanced at each other, and then lowered their voices and persuaded them: "Brother, the defeat of the Son of Heaven is imminent, and the will of Heaven is like this, it is beyond human power to recover, do I really want to die for it?" Jin Zhun glanced at him and asked slowly, "What is the plan of the virtuous brother?" β
Jin Ming's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said viciously: "Since Liu Yongming is powerful, I might as well go to the ...... of the same kind."
Jin Zhun waved his hand again and again, and said no-"Your Majesty is kind to us, how can you bear to abandon each other?" And Yongming has always hated my Jin family, and he threw himself empty-handed, how could he accept it? β
Jin Ming suggested: "Yongming has been enthroned by the new king, but there is a lack of jade seals, and it is unknown if my brother can win the jade seal, or be willing to treat him favorably." β
Jin Zhun still shook his head and said: "Even if he gets the seal, he may not be willing to accept us, even if he is perfunctory for the time being, he will have murderous intentions in the future, and he can't ......."
Jin Kang was so anxious that he stomped his feet and said, "Brother said this, do you really want my brother to die under Pingyang City?!" β
Jin Zhun looked left and right, and then grabbed one with one hand, pulled the two brothers over, the three heads were together, the breath could be heard, and he said in a low voice: "Even if Liu Yongming can win, it will only be based on Pingyang Gucheng's ear, even if he treats my brother well, at most three years, he will still be destroyed." Providence is like this, Han Zuo will fall, I am afraid that it is beyond the power of manpower to recover ......"
When Jin Ming heard this, he was shocked and said, "Brother's intention, do you want to go to the Shi clan?" β
Jin Zhun shook his head lightly and said: "Although Shi Shilong claims to be the king, he can't bear to betray the Han in the end...... That is, he has a heart, the mountains are high and the waters are long, how far away is the country, how can it be reached? If you go to Jinyang, and Shi Hushi doesn't know Shilong's intentions, I'm afraid he won't accept my brother......"
To put it bluntly, we can't see through the thoughts of Shi's uncle and nephew, what if one person plans to be a courtier of the emperor for a few more years, then you hold the jade seal and go to the same place, isn't it a kiss of the tiger?
"Today, the two emperors stand side by side, and we can only serve the jade seal to Luoyang, or we can change the court and seek glory again."
Speaking of this, he looked at the two cong brothers left and right, and asked, "This matter is also very dangerous, how can the jade seal be easy to obtain?" Or will I do something unspeakable for this, then I am willing to work with me and not abandon each other? β
This was said very clearly, the two Jin glanced at each other, then turned their gaze to Jin Zhun again, nodded vigorously and said: "I will wait for only Brother Ma to take the lead, but we can't think for a long time, we have to do it tonight!" β
ββββββββββ
On the evening of the same day, Jin Zhun invited himself to lead his troops to patrol the camp, and took the opportunity to secretly transfer Liu Cang's guards, and then the three brothers led a few cronies to carry swords and swords together, and went straight to the main account.
Although it was the middle of the night, Liu Cang hadn't gone to bed yetβhe definitely couldn't sleepβhe drank a few glasses of wine, a little drunk, and was rubbing the jade seal there, fantasizing that he would soon be able to enter Pingyang and eradicate Liu Yao and Liu Hengβalthough this possibility was very small, but at the moment Liu Shiguang didn't dare to think about it in other directions, and only relied on fantasy to support his spirit.
Suddenly, Jin Zhun and others entered the tent, Liu Cang still didn't care, didn't raise his head, and only asked: "Are all the camps safe?" Jin Zhun sneered: "There are no less than thousands of thieves in each battalion, how can they be safe?" Liu Cang frowned and raised his face, but when he saw that the Jin family and the others were all wearing armor and holding sharp blades, he couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly asked, "What are you doing here?" β
The whip marks on Jin Kang's face were particularly conspicuous under the candle flame, setting off an extremely hideous expression, and he shouted: "Please give the Son of Heaven the first rank and my brother to save their lives!" Then he took an arrow step, raised his knife, and slashed it at Liu Cang's face. In a panic, Liu Cang wanted to touch the weapon, but he couldn't touch it for a while, so he had to pick up the jade seal in his hand and throw it at Jin Kang's wrist.
Almost at the same time, I heard Jin Zhun shouting: "Hugh is going to cut his face, and it is difficult to recognize." "With Jin Ming, the two of them are left and right, and they also wield their own knives to kill. Jin Kang was afraid that the jade seal would be lost, so he quickly put away the knife and hugged it with both hands, Liu Cang took advantage of this opportunity to jump up, turned around and fled, but was slashed in the back of the heart by the two knives of the two Jins, and immediately "pounced" and fell to the ground.
Jin Zhun jumped forward, stepped on Liu Cang with one foot, and then swung his knife to cut the head, and tore off a piece of tent to wrap it. Jin Kang and Jin Ming searched for the seven seals, and they were all in the box, and they ordered their cronies to hug them, and hurriedly went out of the tent together, called to open the camp gate, and rode their horses far away. When Qiao Tai and the others heard the news and rushed to help, there was only a headless corpse left in the big tent......
They hurriedly chased after the Jin family, but after all, they were one step too slow and failed to catch up. As soon as the news spread, the army of 40,000 scattered overnight......
Because the Jin brothers were afraid that they would plot against the public and cause the incident to leak, they only led seven cronies to kill Liu Cang and seize the jade seal, and chose dozens of people who were slightly more credible, falsely claiming that they would flee to Pingyang to vote for Liu Yao, and ordered them to go north overnight to confuse Qiao Tai and others. In fact, after the Jin brothers rode out of the north of the camp, they hurriedly turned south, galloped along the Fenshui overnight, walked for a day and night, and finally arrived in Linfen.
Their families were all in Linfen City, so they took it out, and dozens of domestic slaves, escorted three people and six carts, and continued to the south non-stop, intending to cross the Yellow River from the eastern part of Hedong County, go to Luoyang through Hongnong, and present Liu Cang's head to the Son of Jin and the seals of the country.
On the way, then through the city, must detour, do not dare to stay, this day only through Wenxi County, suddenly see the front of the flag waving, the army along the road surging. Jin Zhun and the others were worried in their hearts, and hurriedly sent people to investigate, but as soon as their cronies were scattered, they were surrounded by more than a dozen horsemen in the army.
Jin Zhun put up a canopy in his hand, took a closer look, and saw that the people who came were all dressed as Jin soldiers, so he was more or less relieved, and hurriedly shouted: "I am here to surrender to Cheng, there is a heavy treasure dedicated to the son of Jin Tianzi, but I can be led to see the general of the Ru family!" β
The Jin soldiers did not respond, but only sent a horse back to report, and the rest of the people closely monitored the Jin family from half an arrow away. After a short time, hundreds of Jin soldiers poured in, surrounded Jin Zhun and other three layers inside and outside, and then a general came out in line and asked Jin Zhun: "Who are you, and you want to see my general?" β
Jin Zhun arched his hand and explained: "I am the Hu general Jin Zhun, these two are my younger brothers Jin Kang and Jin Ming, and they both hold prominent positions in Pingyang. Today, my brother is to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and seize its heavy treasure to dedicate the son of heaven of the Jin family. β
The general nodded, and said, "You three of you carry heavy treasures, come with me - lead you and others to see my general." β
So he followed, and after a short distance, he saw the Jin army, estimated that there were no less than five thousand. Among the three brothers, only Jin Kang once followed Liu Cangxi to Guanzhong and dealt with Pei's department, but Jin Zhun and Jin Ming encountered it for the first time, but they saw that the Jin army was well-organized, the morale was high, and the armor and equipment were also quite sophisticated...... The brothers couldn't help but glance at each other, and said in their hearts that we really made the right move to pitch into the Jin.
Observing the direction of the Jin army, it is Wenxi, I believe that after capturing Wenxi County, it will go straight to Pingyang County, then Liu Cangdun will be under the Pingyang Jiancheng, and then there will be such a brave Jin army behind him, where is there any luck? Even if Liu Yao is the hero, he can only stick to Pingyang and wait for Shi Hu to come to help.
It's just that many of them have cloth covers around their arms, with different colors, I don't know what the intention is......
The Jin general who led the troops did not dismount, so he paused on the side of the road and looked down condescendingly at the Jin brothers who were escorted. Jin Zhun saw that this person was not very tall, but his shoulders were broad, his waist was thick, his big round face was full of horizontal meat, and he was born with a thick beard in black paint, which looked extremely powerful and full of arrogance - the cloth cover on his arm was ochre-red.
He roughly guessed who this person was, and hurriedly greeted him: "But General Zhen?" A certain Jin Zhun is here. β
This general is naturally Zhen Sui, who immediately looked at Jin Zhun coldly, and asked in a deep voice: "It is said that you and others came with a heavy treasure to declare the sincerity of their intentions, I don't know what kind of heavy treasure it is, but you can hand it over to me to see." β
The three Jin brothers were all holding a wooden box, and Jin Zhun did not hand over the wooden box, but only bowed his head and said: "Tell the general, the sheng in this box is the head of the Hu chief Liu Cang, and the two brothers are in the box, which is the jade seal of the country, and the six seals of the Son of Heaven, please send someone to escort you to Luoyang and contribute to the Jin Dynasty before the emperor's drive." β
Even Zhen Sui couldn't help but be blindsided on the spot when he heard this-"What did you say?" Liu Cang's head and the jade seal of the Son of Heaven? Submit it to me for review! β
Jin Zhun showed a slight smug look on his face, and said: "The seal of the Son of Heaven is not for human ministers to see. As for Liu Can's head, the general can check it. As he spoke, he raised the wooden box in his hand high and waited for Zhen to pick it up.
