Chapter 18, tired of the city

In the first half of the year, after years of war, the Central Plains finally ushered in a period of relative peace.

The main reason is that the locust plague that ravaged Bing, Si, Yong and other prefectures last year made the three major forces of Pei Gai, Zu Ti and Liu Cong all short of food, and it was difficult to start a large-scale war in the short term, so they fell into a stalemate. And Hebei Shile had just expelled Liu Kun and annexed most of the annexed states, and the territory expanded nearly twice in an instant, and it also took a period of time to calm down and digest. As for the Bayi regime in Shuzhong and the Jiankang regime in Jiangdong, they were both busy with internal turmoil, and there were many small wars against bandits, and there were no major battles.

The only place where the waves are set off and the eyes of the whole world are gathered is Leling.

At the beginning, Shao Xu was forced to temporarily attach himself to Shi Le because of the fight with Liu Yan, which led to a great loss of strength, but Shi Le was planning to conquer the west and annex the state, and he had little time to deal with him, so he was just a feudal official, and he failed to organize and digest Shao Xu's forces. At the beginning of this year. Shi Le led the army into the merger, and Liu Kun and Ji Tang fought, and the ancestral generals Huan Xuan and Xu Gong tried in vain to cover up the aftermath in order to reduce the pressure on the Jinyang side, although all of them were all returned, but it led to the internal instability of Jizhou and ordered Zhao Ling to summon thousands of households in the three counties of Guangchuan, Pingyuan and Bohai, and went south to rebel against Shao Xu......

People came to vote sincerely, Shao Xu couldn't help but accept it, so he was naturally questioned by Cheng Yao, who was left behind by Xiangguo, and asked him to hand over Zhao Ling and others. Shao Xu refused to hand over people, and he didn't plan to tear his face with Shi Le, he was planning countermeasures, studying how to make perfunctory words, and suddenly his subordinates reported that Liu Sikong had sent Zuo Chang Shi Wenqiao to come and ask to see the general.

Shao Sizu immediately met with Wen Taizhen. Wen Qiao reported: "Now the Qiannu led the army to the expedition and annexed the state, Hebei is empty, and the people who stay behind are only Cheng Yao'er, who has never been skilled in military affairs, so Duan Youzhou conspires with Murong, Yuwen and other departments, and will go south to attack the Hebei ...... in the name of revenge for Wang Da Sima."

"Duan Youzhou" refers to the Xianbei section of the collar Duan Pipan. After the fall of Wang Jun, Shi Leben took Liu Han as the assassin of Youzhou, but Duan Piyan took the opportunity to wave his army south, and Liu Han surrendered with Jicheng. Shi Le's attack on Wang Jun was a thousand-mile raid and beheading operation, and the soldiers and horses he brought to Youzhou were not many, and he was unwilling to clash with Duan Bu head-on for the time being, so he was forced to retreat and gave most of Youzhou to Duan Piyan.

When Shi Le defeated Liu Kun, Duan Piyan stretched out an olive branch in time, and Liu Yueshi led the remnants to Jicheng, which coincided with it, and the table section was the history of Youzhou Thorn.

This time, Wen Qiao was ordered by Duan Piyan and Liu Kun to go south and come to contact Shao Xu. He said that in the past, Liu Yan, the general of Shiren, acted recklessly, and had a quarrel with Your Excellency, and the fault was not in Your Excellency, and that Your Excellency was forced to surrender to Shile at that time, which is also understandable and forgivable. But now the time has come, if Da Sikong and the Xianbei troops of the various departments go south, Your Excellency rises up on the river and responds, and Xu and Yan are also willing to respond, then Shile is not enough to be peaceful.

Shao Xu asked, "Where is Liu Shiren?" ”

Wen Qiao replied: "I was tired of leaving, I was hard to toss and turn, I first returned to Jinyang, and now I am from Dasikong to Jicheng ......."

Shao Xu asked again: "Dasikong has lost and merged with the state, how many soldiers and horses are left?" Three Xianbei, how many can you ride? ”

In this regard, Wen Qiao of course wanted to exaggerate the facts, boasted, and said: "There are still thousands of people left in the Great Sikong Department, and since the arrival of the thistle, the people of the Quartet have come to merge and get doubled." As for the three Xianbei, the elite cavalry should be no less than 50,000 feet to break the stone! ”

Shao Xuxin said that you claimed to have 200,000 people in Bingzhou, but you have never been able to beat Shile, and now there are only 60,000 or 70,000 people, do you dare to say that you will win? After thinking about it, he asked again: "Yan, Xu Keken soldiers?" ”

Wen Qiao replied: "Pei and Zu Ergong have always been loyal and diligent in state affairs, and the slave is a great disaster, if there is a chance, how can there be a reason not to go on the expedition?" I will first come to pay homage to the general, and then go to Dongguan, then to Yan and Si, and then to Chang'an, and I will be able to persuade the Second Duke to send troops to respond. ”

Shao Xu was still groaning, and Liu Yin, the former Jizhou assassin of Wang Jun, took the opportunity to persuade him: "I think that Tian Dan and Shen Baoxu are just small officials of Qi and Chu, and they can still exist in the destroyed state and the country of all defeats, and the general, you command the elite people and live in the city of repeated victories, but why should you commit yourself to Hu, such as attaching a jackal and a tiger?"

"At the beginning, Xiang Yu and Yuan Shao were not not strong, and Han Gaozu was the righteous emperor Su, everyone was Jingsub, Emperor Wei Wu respected the Son of Heaven, and the princes were Suimu, what is the reason? This is the reason of rebellion, the number of nature, and the desire of the human heart! What's more, even if it is rampant for a while, it will be difficult to escape the killing after all, if the general takes it as a trust, wouldn't he be committing a dead end? ”

Shao Xu made up his mind at this time, and said angrily: "I am from Jin, how can I reduce my beard?" Before that, I couldn't help it, and I had no choice but to give in, just to stay this useful body and find an opportunity to serve the country. Since Da Sikong said that the three Xianbei went south, I should be a follower. But Wangshile should not return to Hebei in a hurry, and the Yanzhou soldiers can cross the river to scratch their way back As for the Xuzhou soldiers, it is enough for us to fetter Cao Wei. ”

On this order, Yi Zhi is anyway. Some of his subordinates have admonished him, saying that your son Shao Yi is still in the hands of Shi Le, and now if he rebels against Shi Le and follows Liu Kun and Duan Piyan, he is afraid that his son's life will not be guaranteed. Shao Xu said with tears in his eyes: "I was born in the country, how can I take care of my son and become a traitor? I've made up my mind, don't say anything more! ”

He looked forward to Duan Bu moving his troops quickly, and he happened to echo with it in the north and south, and when Shi Le hadn't rushed back to Jizhou, he would pack up Cheng Yao's two knives first. But I didn't expect that less than ten days after Wen Qiao left Yici, there was news that Shi Le had already returned to Xiangguo!

The grievances and grievances between Shi Le and Duan Bu are really cut, and they are still messy. I think that Wang Jun made Duan Piyan attack Shile, who had an unstable foothold in Hebei, but was captured by Shi Le's design and his younger brother, the brave general Duan Moqi, resulting in the defeat of the army in Zhuyang. Immediately, Shi Le sent an envoy to sue for peace on the condition of releasing Duan Moqi, but his brother Duan Wenyang tried hard to persuade him, but Duan Piyan did not listen, and still retreated from the private alliance with Shi Le. Shi Lenai made his nephew Shi Hu and Duan Mo about brothers.

Soon after, Wang Jun once again united with the Duan Department to go south, and Duan Mozhu resolutely refused to obey his orders, causing Wang Jun to secretly summon Tuoba, Murong, Yuwen and other troops to attack the Duan Department, and the result was that the Tuoba Department returned with a feather, and the Murong Department took the opportunity to capture a lot of land from the Duan Department, and Murong Diao gradually became stronger.

However, Shi Le and Duan Piyan are not on the same front after all, Duan Piyan has no intention of betraying Jin, only because he has a common enemy, Wang Jun, that he and Shi Le are separated and hooked up. Therefore, as soon as Wang Jun died, Duan Piyan naturally wanted to turn his troops to Shile, first take Jicheng, and then unite with Liu Kun to seize Jizhou.

However, although Duan Mozhu was brave and courageous, and was deeply trusted by Duan Piyan, he was also envied by others because of his talent, and was often excluded from his clan. Compared with the two, he felt that Shi Le was a good friend, and Shi Hu was still a brother with me, and the oath was still in his ears, how could he carry it lightly? Therefore, after learning of Duan Pipan's scheme, he secretly sent Yue Taihang to inform Shile.

It was precisely because Shi Le heard the news of Duanbu's instability that he hurried back to Xiangguo with Zhang Bin, and on the way, he received two books from Pei Gaixin and the news of Shao Xuyizhi. Shi Le immediately executed Shao Yi and contacted Cao Wei, intending to overcome the disgust in advance to prevent future troubles.

Shao Xu hurriedly asked Duan Piyan for help, but Duan Piyan was in a dilemma at this time. Under Liu Kun's center, Murong and Yuwen agreed to give up their previous suspicions, and the joint forces faced the enemy, but asked the Duan Department to move first, and we could be the second echelon and respond from the rear. Duan Piyan got the foreign aid, but he couldn't figure it out internally, Duan Moqi insisted that our family had an alliance with Shile, and it was ominous to break the alliance and refused to join the expedition.

But Duan Piyan didn't worry about leaving Duan Mozhu in Jicheng, he had already noticed that the kid had secretly communicated with Shi Le, so if I met the enemy in advance, he would set off a mess behind, how could it be good? Hesitant for this.

Shao Xu's envoy happened to arrive in Jicheng at this time, and complained bitterly, so under the repeated persuasion of Liu Kun and Duan Wenyang, Duan Piyan made Duan Wenyang lead the headquarters of three thousand elite cavalry to the south in advance, and rushed all the way along the coastline to kill until you go to help Shao Sizu defend the city first, and I will get the rear as soon as possible, and then go south to attack Ji.

Shi Le was a little too big, he thought that he was tired of the small city, Shao Xu had to leave troops to garrison the Yellow River crossing, in case of Cao Wei, the remaining thousands of people were powerless, so he personally led 8,000 elite soldiers to leave Xiangguo, went south to attack, and surrounded the city of Yanci. After the attack was completed, for three days in a row, the city wall was stormed, and Shao continued to respond calmly to the battle, repeatedly defeating the enemy's situation.

At this time, the news came that Duan Xianbei Jingqi rode south to save Tiny, and Shi Le couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard the report.

Xianbei horseman, the world is right, this is the general perception at that time, especially with the Xianbei people in direct contact with the Hu Hanjun, who has fought many times, feels the deepest. Therefore, on the same day, Duan Piyan was instigated by Wang Jun and led his troops south to Jizhou, and Shile was trapped in Xiangguo for a time and did not dare to fight. Later, Zhang Bin's strategy was used to surprise attack the camp outside the city, only to capture Duan Mozhu by luck, and repelled the main force of Duan in Zhuyang. But even so, he did not dare to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but hurriedly sent an envoy to greet Duan Piyan and put forward a request for peace talks.

If you want to say how much Shi Le is afraid of Xianbei people, it is not necessarily, but the problem is that most of the generals under his command have heard that Xianbei has come to hear that the tiger has arrived, especially this time it is said that the commander of the army came to save the tired times, or Duan Wenyang, the fierce general of the Duan Division. Everyone thinks that there is a fortified city in front of it, and there is Xianbei in the back, and our army is under the enemy's back, and the situation is critical...... It is better to retreat quickly while the Xianbei Jingqi has not yet arrived.

Shi Le was difficult to disobey the will of the people, and he didn't take Zhang Bin with him this time, so he really couldn't think of any clever plan to break the enemy, so he was forced to give up the attack tools that had just been built, relieved the siege of the second hate, and hurriedly led his troops east.

When Duan Wenyang heard the news, he hurriedly chased after him, and Shao Xu also opened the city and joined Wenyang. The coalition army pursued and killed until Anling, captured the Anling County Order signed by Shile, and moved more than 3,000 households to Leling State. Shao Xu immediately went back, Duan Wenyang still refused to give up, and used his nomadic long-distance travel strengths, and even went north to plunder the Changshan border, recaptured 2,000 households, and returned to the station.

It can be seen from this that as Wen Qiao said, Shile's main forces are all in Jizhou, and Jizhou is currently relatively empty, and the construction of local political power has just started, and its control is quite weak.

But after winning the battle, Duan Wenyang entered the disgust, so he discussed with Shao Xu, saying that it was a pity that he failed to capture Shile this time, and he couldn't even catch up with his own soldiers and horses, so although the slave retreated, it is estimated that he will come again soon. If we wait for him to enrich the defenses of the surrounding cities, and then dispatch the men and horses stationed in the state to attack on a large scale, our chances of victory are slim, and we must have a good strategy.

Duan Wenyang said: "If you are in Henan, leaning on the river is dangerous, you are not afraid of slaves; However, now that we are in the north of the river, there is almost no danger to defend in Leling, even if Cao Wei pretends to cross the river, it will tie up our troops, and we will not be able to resist the slaves with all our might. I intend to take advantage of the slaves to retreat, when the river should be crossed first to attack Cao Ling, if Qingzhou is the rear, then there is a basis for advancing and retreating. ”

Shao Xu first nodded and said that what you said was indeed reasonable, General, and then shook his head again and said, "Cao Wei is not difficult to break, but Qingzhou is not easy to get." He built a dangerous fortress in Guanggu, and when the slave himself sent an army of 100,000 from the west, he could not destroy it, let alone us? If the battle drags on for a long time, and the slaves come back to fight, what will happen to it? ”

Duan Wenyang muttered: "Please invite Xu and Yan Bing to attack Cao Wei with us and cut this tumor." ”

Shao continued to say that I also meant this, before Wen Qiao came to persuade me anyway, he mentioned that he would continue to Dongguan, and then go to Taishan, Jibei and other places to lobby the soldiers of the two states to respond. But what I mean, the Yanzhou army should not fight Cao Wei, it is better to cross the river to threaten the hinterland of Jizhou, which will help us more. To attack or at least tie Cao Wei, you have to rely on the Xuzhou army.

I don't know what the result was when Wen Qiao lobbied Dongguan County to guard the Daohui of Dongguan County...... Shao continued to say that I should take the initiative to send someone to contact me.

Liu Yin took the initiative to ask for help and went to Xuzhou to ask for help. Shao Xu immediately wrote three letters, which were sent to Dongguan County Shou Xi Jian, Fuwei General Su Jun, and Xuzhou Assassin Shi Bian Yan, and ordered Liu Yin to carry them with him and cross the river to the south.

Shao Xu, Liu Yin and others do not know much about the situation in Dongguan County, and Dongguan is currently in a very special political environment.

First of all, under the pacification of Xi Jian, all counties and townships have been stabilized, the people have returned to the fields, the merchants have recopied the old business, and the docks and forts in the territory have also expressed their submission. However, Xi Jian only commanded the "Gonglai Battalion" on the mountain, and gradually, the gap between him and Su Jun deepened, and the contradiction became increasingly serious.

Su Jun was originally very respectful to Xi Jian, one is that the other party has a prominent family background, and he is only a local tyrant, and second, Xi Jian is a county guard of 2,000 stones, and he is just the governor of a battalion. However, because he once broke the Qingzhou Army and saved Xi Jian's life, Su Zigao was somewhat arrogant. Later, Chang'an issued an edict, with Su Jun's merit of breaking the enemy, adding the number of Fuwei generals, ranking the fifth grade, and Xi Jian on a par, Bian Yan also allowed Su Jun to raise troops and horses in Dongguan, Langya and other counties, thinking that Xuzhou was the northern barrier, Su Zigao trembled, and increasingly did not put Xi Daohui in his eyes.

Especially Su Jun has a big appetite, he is not afraid of eating a fat man in one bite, and he has a tree of recruiting flags, and he will get six or seven thousand people in ten months. He wanted to completely follow Pei Gai's method of military training, mix these recruits with Xuzhou veterans, and train a strong army that can cross Qing and Xu as soon as possible, so the consumption of grain and materials is extremely large. But the problem is that Su Jun doesn't care about civil affairs, even if he has opened up some fields on Gonglai Mountain, the people are mainly the families of soldiers, after all, he has to stretch out his hand all day long and ask for others.

So who asks for it? Weapons and equipment are looking for Xiong Yuan, and grain is naturally looking for Xi Jian. But the problem is that even if it was last year in Xuzhou Dafeng, Xi Daohui did not have so much food, and the supply of nearly 10,000 was almost a professional "public business"! Xi Jian repeatedly persuaded him, saying that you should control the number of troops, or cut some supplies, but Su Jun completely ignored it. The two of them said stiffly, when Xi Jian wanted to eliminate the bandits in the county, he wrote Su Jun, but Su Jun refused to fight under the pretext that the training was not successful.

Xi Jian had no choice, so he had to use the old Yishan people as the foundation and recruited more than 3,000 soldiers and horses by himself. This time, Su Jun was even more angry: You have money and food to raise your own soldiers, but you refuse to give it to me?! simply ordered the soldiers to disguise themselves as bandits and go down the mountain to rob the ......
