In the city of Xiangguo, people shouted in the middle of the night that the horses were neighing, and the Guo family sent troops to take the Taiyuan Palace; Immediately, even the forbidden army was dispatched, Shi Hu was forced to flee, and the guards at the east gate were all hunted and killed for this...... This kind of thing, no one dares to say it openly, but the spread of gossip is not something that Xu Guang can stop at all by "just a few of us".

In particular, Wang Gong arranged a lot of secret agents between Xiangguo and Handan, so he got the news as soon as possible, hurriedly wrote a secret music, and sent a fast horse to Jinyang. Pei read the letter and couldn't help but wonder: "You can know that the stubborn people are not available!" ”

In the original history, when Shi Le was still there, Shi Hu was already full of bad deeds, he was cruel, jealous of his colleagues, and his two wives - Guo and Cui - also died at his hands, although Shi Le "repeatedly scolded", he did not listen at all. Therefore, as soon as Shi Le died, Shi Hu launched a coup d'état, and then usurped the throne and stood on his own, which was actually planted a long time ago, and it was all caused by Shi Le's indulgence!

Pei Caixin said that if my subordinates had such a good character, I would have eradicated it a long time ago - if you can train, you will train, and if you can control, you will control, if you don't listen to the training, if you don't control it, what do you leave him to do? Even if there is a brave and Zhang Liang's strategy, they can't stay, and the greater the ability, the deeper the disaster!

If you want to say that my subordinates are a little similar to Shi Hu, it is probably Zhen Sui, but Zhen Manzimin often tiptoes to test my bottom line, and as soon as I glare, he retracted...... If he does not shrink back, I will punish him severely. Besides, no matter how fierce that barbarian is, compared to Shi Hulai, he will not dare to kill his colleagues out of personal anger, let alone go to slaughter the city against the order!

Even if Shi Hu is cruel by nature, if he is still law-abiding on the surface, Shi Le, you don't kill him. It's like future generations often sigh, why didn't Cao Cao kill Sima Yi, but why did Cao Cao kill Sima Yi? Cao Cao, even if Cao Pi and Cao Yi were there, Sima Yi was honest and not arrogant, so what reason did you find to kill him? Just for what is the proverb of "wolf care" and "three horses in the same groove"? If Cao's father and son, ancestors and grandchildren are so superstitious and frivolous, then they will inevitably not be able to keep the country!

Shi Le just loved Shi Hu's bravery, so he pinched his nose and endured his ferocity and cruelty, leaving this bane for his children and grandchildren and even the people of the Central Plains. In the original history, because of the smooth sailing, so Shi Hu can be pampered, this time with me, you can be regarded as kicking the iron plate, so it is logical that external pressure is transformed into internal contradictions.

Only with lofty ideas and strict discipline can it be possible for an organization to withstand external pressure and become stronger and stronger the more frustrated it becomes.

Pei Cainai sent Wang Gong's secret letter to all the generals, on the one hand, to boost morale, and on the other hand, he also said to Shi Le: Look, I know all about this, you have no need to block the news again, and directly order Shi Hu to be killed.

The ministers all congratulated, and Xu Xian asked: "Shi Hu has rebelled against Zhao, I don't know if he will go west and come to vote for Da Sima?" ”

He said this as a temptation, because he feared that he would be unfortunate in his remarks...... At the beginning, it was Shi Hu who was driven away by his continued filial piety to occupy Jinyang, and Shi Hu hated him deeply. What if Shi Hu comes to vote and Da Sima accepts it? With the courage of Shihu, he will be reused by Da Sima - and it is said that they have had a friendship in the past - then he is not in danger?

Pei Gai shook his head with a smile and said, "How could Shi Hu come to vote for me." "I made it very clear to the little guy on the battlefield the day before yesterday, Jin and Jin are not separated, I just want to kill his uncle and nephew, I want to instigate him to take a boat to attack Jin Base, it is pure malice, no kindness, his head is cramping, will he want to come to vote for me?

But he asked the ministers: "If he comes to vote, do you think I will accept it?" ”

Liu Yang and the others were silent. As far as they are concerned, they are naturally hostile to Shi Hu, not only in front of the two armies, killing and injuring each other, but also Shi Hu plundered and slaughtered the people of Hezhou, after all, the generals have been influenced by Pei Gai for a long time, and they will inevitably see it in their eyes and hate it in their hearts. It's just that if you don't accept it, will there be a suspicion of jealousy? And Shi Hu is a brave general after all, if it belongs to me, it will definitely increase the power of my family, right? That's why I didn't speak.

Only one person spoke: "Although Shi Hu is violent, he is quick to bow his horse after all, and at that time, Shi Le could not be killed, so he made it kill indiscriminately; If it is returned to the Great Sima, it will be able to control it, slowly guide it to goodness, and enhance the strength of our army. ”

Everyone followed the prestige, and it turned out to be Pei Kai, the new Taiyuan County Shou. Pei Kai Pei Jingshu, who was the prime minister of Shiping, Pei should have half of the state, and wanted to slowly weaken the local forces such as the Yangqu Guo clan and install his own cronies, so he summoned more than a dozen Guanzhong officials, including him, to serve in the state, and he had just arrived.

After listening to Pei Kai's speech at the moment, Pei Cai couldn't help but smile, so he asked him: "If Bai Qi is an example, Brother thinks that if he turns his back on Qin and votes for Zhao, Zhao Ren will accept it?" ”

Pei Kai is not stupid, plus he has served in Guanzhong for many years, and he has experienced a lot of things, and his wisdom has gradually opened, and he heard Pei Cai's question at the moment, and he was slightly stunned, and then he understood his meaning, so he replied: "It depends on whether it is before or after the Battle of Changping." ”

During the Warring States Period, the countries were in constant dispute, the wars of all sizes were endless, and the flow of talents was also very frequent. For example, Gongsun Yan (rhino head) was originally a Wei person, but Shi Qin was a great good man, led the army to attack Wei, first captured his own hometown Yin Jin, defeated Long Jia and beheaded 80,000 Wei soldiers, all of which were taken from Hexi. However, after that, the king of Wei sent Zhang Yi into Qin to summon Gongsun Yan, and Gongsun Yan restored Wei, so he launched the "Five Kingdoms Prime Minister" movement, which was the first to open the discussion and plot to destroy Qin......

If you compare Gongsun Yan, then the so-called "each for his master", as long as Shi Hu is really willing to rebel against Zhao and return to Jin, then the Jin side will have no reason to accept it - the past can be ignored. It's just that Pei Gai didn't mention Gongsun Yan, or similar figures, but compared Bai Qi.

Bai Qi killed 400,000 Zhao in Changping Pit, and in Handan City, almost every family wore filial piety, so the Zhao people hated Bai Qi to the bone, once Bai Qi rebelled against Qin, he could enter Chu and Wei, but Zhao people alone would inevitably not accept it - first consider whether they were afraid of the anger of King Qin.

Therefore, Pei Kaicai said that whether the Zhao people are willing to accept Bai Qi depends on whether it is before or after the Battle of Changping, whether the hatred has accumulated deep enough. Pei Gai nodded from this, but made a clear statement: "Shi Hu is ferocious, and the slaughter he has done is not human, and he is like a beast." I have my own warriors and talents, so why raise a beast? If I am descended by the stone tiger, how will I deal with the people who have been affected and the widows who have been displaced in the state? ”

Then he raised his eyebrows: "The remnants of Shihu, although they die, they can't redeem their innocence." If he flees to me, I will kill him, how can I accept it?! After a pause, he glanced at Xu Xian, and said: "If anyone in the camp is willing to come and return anyway, they must investigate their past, and those who have harmed the people will not accept it—especially Shi's uncle and nephew, I can only give an account to the people if I kill them!" "The implication is that you are a good person, please put your heart at ease and serve with my subordinates honestly.

In fact, for Shi Zhao's disciples, Pei should have no good impression at all, and theoretically he didn't want to use any of them. But after all, the continuation of Xianben was a great Confucian, and it was harmless to the people, and the timely seizure of the state was very great, enough to withstand it, so it was retained. Since it is used, it must be cared for and soothed, and it must not be suspicious and dissenting.

——————————

The distance between Xiangguo and Jinyang is far away, so Pei Gai has just received the news of Shi Hu's defection, and Shi Le has already gathered hundreds of thousands of troops over there and is surging south. He made the former general Li Han the vanguard and took the lead in attacking the city of Yanci occupied by Shao Xu.

According to Zhang Jing's plan, although he wanted to attack Luoyang with all his might, he had to attack the east and the west first, in order to confuse the enemy. Therefore, the plan is to attack the second time first, if it can be overcome, it can threaten Qing and Xu, so that Su Jun, Feng Long and others will not dare to act rashly; And if Luoyang sent troops to help, it happened to cross the river to attack the empty Yanzhou.

Li Han was originally a general of Liu Yan's army, and Shi Leke abandoned and surrendered when he was three stations, and he was very familiar with the geography and human feelings of Jizhou. At that moment, Li Han led the army commander to drive straight in, and the twelve camps set up by Li Ju outside the city were broken by him one after another. Li Maoyue hurriedly sent people across the river to the south to ask Feng Long and Su Jun for help.

Feng Long reorganized his troops and horses in Licheng, mobilized ships, and planned to cross north to attack Li Han's flank and rear. As for Su Jun, he still lingered on the boundary of Taishan County, leaving only Sima Zhongsheng to lead thousands of old and weak people to Pugu City; Therefore, Zhong Sheng got tired of the letter, so he hurriedly whipped up his horse and went to find Su Jun.

When Su Jun heard that the bell was coming, he said in his heart that this must be a thief and a thief will be tired of attacking the second time - I deliberately stayed away from the Yellow River, that is, I didn't plan to confront the main force of the Yellow River head-on under the premise of insufficient strength, although this meaning was not explicitly stated, you Zhong Aihua is not stupid, you won't think of it, right? Then why are you still running to me?

After all, the bell was sent from Chang'an, just like the prison army arranged by Pei Cai, and since he visited, Su Zigao did not dare to see it. So he made up a set of rhetoric in advance, and when the bell came in to urge him to return north, he made clever words and prevaricated.

Su Jun asked first: "The governor of the capital broke the stone tiger in Pingyang, and went north to recover the West River and Taiyuan, presumably Sima has already heard about it?" Zhong Sheng nodded, and Su Jun said: "In this case, I privately think that Shile will definitely send a large army to reinforce Shangdang and seek to recover Taiyuan, or go to Hanoi and Yanzhou in a big way, in order to destroy the Chinese army. ”

Zhong Sheng asked suspiciously, "The general's judgment is indeed reasonable. However, if you are tired of losing the times, the thief can threaten Qing and Xu with the river, how can I not save it? ”

Su Jun smiled and said: "Sima is too worried, with today's situation, the thieves or the westward party will seek to recover Taiyuan, or take Hanoi and Yanzhou in the south and threaten Luoyang, how can they divide their troops and seek Qing and Xu again?" Even if you drink the Yellow River, you will not dare to cross the boat......"

Of course, this is the reason why he stands on his own position and does not save the tired times, and he can't convince the bell to sound on this basis, so Su Jun pretended to have a solemn face, and said again: "If the thief goes west to the party, it will naturally be worry-free for me, and I may take advantage of his fatigue to cross the river again and regain the disgust, and then advance to Handan and Xiangguo to support the governor of the capital." But I'm afraid of it, it's really Yanzhou!

"Today's Yanzhou is different from the past - although Cai Shixuan (Cai Bao) and Zu Shishao (Zu Yue) are mediocre generations, they have always been generals, or they may have the strength to fight; And the new Xiahou Wenzi (Xiahou Cheng), although he is out of the general's door, is actually a scholar, how can he control the generals, but he is the enemy in front of the battle? And Xu Gong once rebelled, who knew that he would not rebel again? Once the thieves go south to Yanzhou, Xu Gong sways towards the twilight, and Wenzi cannot be defeated, then he is afraid that the west of Xingyang will no longer be owned by the state!

"And when Cai Shi Xuan was guarding Yan, his grandfather was not sick; When the ancestors were less guarded, the Chinese army was mostly their former officials, and they did not dare not save them; Now that Xiahou Wenzi is guarding Yan, his grandfather is seriously ill and has not recovered, and the Chinese army will be leaderless, so his actions will inevitably be slow, and Yanzhou is in danger. If Yanzhou is lost, Luoyang is also in danger, how can you not worry?

"Because of this, I will stay here for the time being, once the prediction comes true, it can be followed by the thief, so that he can not rush to Luoyang, and the Chinese army will be unified and defend the time - if this is true, Sima Xiu will think that I am cowardly."

His tirade made Zhong Aihua stunned for a moment, and he couldn't think of a reason to refute it at all. After careful consideration, the analysis of the current situation and the prediction of the battle situation seem to be reasonable...... But it doesn't seem to fit much with what you're doing. Is it really because I don't understand military affairs that I misread you? In fact, General Su still has a very big picture......

In fact, Su Jun didn't think that Zhao Bing would go south to Yanzhou at all, his thinking was somewhat similar to Zhang Bin, and he felt that such a small and big trend was clear, Taiyuan in the north, Luoyang in the south, and the two traditional military routes leading directly to Hebei were in my hands in the hands of Jin, so what kind of drama did Shile have to sing? He can only retreat and accumulate slowly, waiting for all the changes in the situation.

Thinking about its Hebei territory, there is Taihang in the west, and the Yellow River in the south, which is dangerous and difficult to pull out, and the only gap in the entire defense line is tired of it. Judging from this, Zhao Jun is attacking this time, and he really has the heart to win, if I don't know whether I am alive or dead, what are the chances of winning? Therefore, in other periods, disgust can be saved, and even must be saved, but this period is not good, and I can only temporarily avoid its morning sharpness, so that I can hope to hit it in the future.

It's just that the words are shallow and deep, and the bell has always been a hot-blooded man's stinky virtue, so he can't say this clearly, so he can only find another reason to deceive him.

Zhong Sheng was speechless, and could only ask: "How to reply to General Shao's letter?" ”

Su Jun smiled: "Sima replied for me." "I said that I would go to the rescue of the tired ones, but the elite soldiers are scattered in Taishan County to suppress the thieves, and it will always take time to collect them, plus they must raise food and reorganize their training...... So please General Shao must guard the hate, and leave me enough time to return to the division.

The bell was helpless, so he had to return in disgrace. However, the messenger he sent to deliver the letter back to Yanci had only crossed the Yellow River, and he was blocked back, and reported that Shi Le personally raised a large army and turned to Yanci, and surrounded the city with three layers inside and three outside, and I really couldn't enter the city......
