Luoyang couldn't help but be shocked when they got the news of Xu Gong's rebellion. Because Zu Ti was seriously ill, the Xun group summoned Zhu Shangshu to discuss the matter, and everyone thought that Shi Zhaoqiu would come to invade again, and he must pacify the Yanbei rebellion before that, otherwise the situation would be out of control.

Because the Zhao army was tired of attacking, the soldiers of Qingzhou could not be moved, but planned to transfer a Chinese army south to meet the aid of Zu Yue, and at the same time ordered Taishan Taishou Yangjian to advance with it to the east and west, in order to suppress the Xu niche. Shang Shu Yin Qiao proposed: "Yang Shou is not a general's talent, if he is lightly killed, I am afraid that it will be broken by the rebels, and it will be difficult for Mount Tai to be safe." It should be made to stick to the county and send troops to cut off the territory, so as to prevent Xu Gong from jumping west and joining up with the thieves. ”

Xun Di refused to adopt his words, saying: "The rebellion of Xu Niche was originally framed by Zhou Mo, and Zu Shi took few bribes to force him...... On the one hand, he has never had a good impression of Zu Yue, and on the other hand, Zu Yue is greedy for money, which is well known, so what Xu Gong said is easy to be accepted by people - "may not be willing to cooperate with the thief." However, if the war drags on for a long time, the thieves will go south, and Yanzhou will be in danger! When the sheep is ordered to go west to force it, he may take the opportunity to appease Xu Gong. ”

Yang Jian got the edict, and in desperation, he had to mobilize the soldiers and horses in the county, go out of Mount Tai in the west, restore the economy to the north and go to Dongping, Chen Jun Sui Township, and coerce Fucheng. Tan Malai reported that the main force of the rebels was in the west, and Fang and Zu Zhijun fought fiercely under the city of Fanxian, and Yang Jingqi breathed a sigh of relief, and planned to take the opportunity to bypass Fucheng and go directly to Xuchang, the base camp of the rebels.

It's just that when Xu Gong was planning, he was only worried about Feng Long and Su Jun in Qingzhou, although they didn't pay attention to Yang Jian and Taishan Bing, how could they be unprepared and open the back road and let them go straight in? Yang Jian waved his army to attack, and the road was not halfway through, and suddenly he got a report, saying that a group of thieves in Taishan County had risen one after another, looting the county and township, and cutting off the grain transportation......

Xu Niche is a native of Taishan, Yongjia was born as a Kou, and then was recruited by the ancestors, so he has a wide range of contacts in Taishan County. Although Yang Jian is also a native of Taishan, but he is a member of the eunuch family, and his connections are mainly between Shilin and wealthy families.

Later generations are called Mount Tai - "sheep can make it cure, Xu can make it chaotic." ”

Therefore, under the prior planning and contact of Xu Gong, as soon as Yang Jian led the county soldiers to leave the country, the smoke in Taishan County immediately erupted, and robbers were frequent. Yang Jingqi was afraid that the grain would not continue, so he was forced to retreat back to Suixiang in desperation, and did not dare to go deep into Dongping Country again.

Xu Gong took advantage of this opportunity to break the ancestral covenant in Fan County, and the ancestor rode back to Xiaqiu. The rebels chased after the ranks, but fortunately, Luoyang ordered Zhang Ping to lead the left army to help, and Xu Gong gave up the siege and retreated temporarily.

But he immediately stayed behind to guard Fan County, and then went east again, and successfully defeated Yang Jian, who could not enter......

——————————

When the rebels of Xu Gong ravaged Yanbei, Leling was attacked by the general Zhang Yi, and Shao Xunai hurriedly sent people south to ask Feng Long and Su Jun for help - just as the imperial court edict was issued, and the second general was also ordered to cross the Yellow River north to save Yici.

Su Zigao is so depressed - as a result, do you want me to fight Shi Zhao to the death? He reproached Wang Gong - "The governor of the capital is in Qingzhou, and I know what is going on." Why couldn't you have expected that the thieves would attack and disrupt Yanzhou with Xu Gong? ”

Wang Gongxin said that I am not an immortal, and I can expect anything...... In fact, Xu Gong secretly rebelled, and sent someone to inquire about your tone, you think this matter is very secret, I remember it all by pen! It's just that the thief happened to be intrusive at this time, and he clearly colluded with Xu Di, but I couldn't find out the relevant information in advance......

Xu Gong rebelled, I got the information in advance, and I had already sent someone to hurry up to Ma Xi to report to Da Sima, but I have no obligation to report to the imperial court, so I don't know how Luoyang will deal with this.

Therefore, Wang Gong replied: "According to a certain estimate, the thief will not be disgusted before the autumn harvest. This time, Zhang Yi sent troops, clearly in order to echo Xu Di, his actions were hasty, and he would not be difficult to defeat - and even just a feint. Shao Sizu is safe for the time being, and General Su does not need to rush to help, but should continue to accumulate grain and straw for the autumn. ”

When Su Jun got Wang Gong's reply, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately ordered to pull out the camp and set off and cross the river to the north!

What he was worried about was that if Zhao was tired of attacking, he would cross the river to save him by himself, which would be very dangerous, and he might throw all the soldiers and horses he had accumulated over the years in Hebei; If this is the case, then we have to find all kinds of reasons to prevaricate, such as the shortage of grain, for example, the soldiers are not organized, it is really not possible, let the old people make a little trouble in Donglai and Changguang.

But if, as Wang Gong said, Zhang Yi's attack this time is just pretending, in order to tie up our army, so as to respond to Xu Gong's rebellion, then he will cross the river to rescue, then there is not much risk. And since he has already gone to save the time before the autumn harvest, when the army comes to attack in a big way after the autumn, he can use the excuse of the last time to use the stored grain, and now the camp is empty, try to delay the time to save - he can also take the opportunity to reach out to the counties of Qingzhou and ask for the autumn grain that has just been put into storage.

Therefore, Wang Gong, you said that you want to save the tired times, I must not go; Since you said you can not save it, then I have to run this time!

So he led his brother Su Yi, generals Han Huang, Zhang Jian, Ma Xiong, Honghui, etc., to send 3,000 troops, bluff flags, claimed to be 10,000, and urgently looked for a ferry to Leling.

Shao continued to report and urgently ordered his son-in-law Liu Yao to go out of the city to greet him.

In the battle of Leling last year, Liu Yao and his wife were defeated by Shi Hu and were forced to jump into the Yellow River...... After landing on the shore, he was rescued by the soldiers of the "Donglai Battalion", and he was raised by the lieutenant general of Su Junjun for a long time. Therefore, Shao Sizu said that since the virtuous son-in-law is familiar with General Nasu, it is better for you to go and greet him and lead him to the thief.

Liu Zhengchang was full of displeasure, and said to the old man: "Su Zigao was born in a humble background, and suddenly won the great Sima Xian, the governor of Qingzhou military affairs, and his character is quite arrogant - the real villain is also the one who has the ambition!" And before in his army, he coveted my wife's beauty, and if he was not invincible, he almost wanted to rob ...... I really don't want to see such villains again. ”

Shao Xu scolded him: "Don't talk nonsense! "Isn't it normal for my daughter to be so beautiful and coveted? Say "If you can't be invincible, you almost want to rob hard", since it has not become a fact, how can you insist that he has evil intentions?

"They all serve the imperial court, and they are tired of relying on Qingzhou's rescue, how can they be in vain? Besides, this time, he didn't let Qing go with the little girl...... "As long as my daughter doesn't run around with you anymore, just stay in the city honestly."

Liu Yao had no choice but to go to the "Donglai Camp" to meet Su Jun, and then-"General Wen led ten thousand troops to come, how can there only be these soldiers and horses?" ”

Su Jun waved his hand and smiled: "Zhang Yi is a nameless general, what is there to fear?" If Shi Le comes in person, or Shi Hu comes, I will lead the main force to help Shao Jun, only Zhang Yi comes, and thousands of people are enough! As he spoke, his two eyes swept around Liu Yao, and he said in his heart, why didn't you bring your wife out this time?

Su Jun did have delusions about Mrs. Liu - such a beautiful and capable woman, he had seen it for the first time in his life - but if he talked about snatching, it was not enough. Liu Yao is purely out of the instinct of being a husband, which is more sensitive than others.

Not only did Su Jun cross to the north, Feng Long also led the "revenge army" to leave Licheng and go north to help, and then the two armies merged, and then bit Zhang Yi's department in the south of Leling County, and killed Zhang Yi in a battle - it was Liu Yao who was in the chaos of the army, prancing horses and spears, and bravely killing enemy generals. Feng Long wanted to take advantage of the situation to advance north and kill Bohai, but was stopped by Su Jun, Su Zigao said: "The order of the dynasty made us wait for the rescue to be tired, and did not order us to go deep into the enemy territory." If we wait for the north, Shile will send a heavy future to rebel, and once defeated, it will make us tired of peace and return to danger - it is useless to draw snakes. ”

The second general said goodbye to Liu Yao, and returned to Qingzhou with all the departments.

——————————

Su Jun returned to Pugu, and Jia Ning, who joined the army, immediately came to report that Xu Gong had defeated the ancestral covenant in the west and broken Yangjian in the east, and the other troops had entered Taishan County. Su Zigao was overjoyed, and said: "Since the traitor has entered Mount Tai, he is about to threaten Qing and Xu, and I am the governor of Qingzhou, how can I ignore it?" "Just take advantage of this opportunity, I'll go to Xu Niche.

Jia Ning suggested: "If you still play it, please ask the court for permission." Su Jun said: "The soldiers are fast, how can they be delayed?" Qing will play for me and ask the court, but I don't have to wait for the edict to be issued, I can strike first! ”

This time, he pulled up a full 8,000 soldiers and horses, ordered the general Han Huang to be the vanguard, and then went south to Mount Tai. However, as soon as Han Huang entered Taishan County, he got the news that Xu Gong had been appeased and his chaos had calmed down......

Xun Di and others have long had the intention of appeasing Xu Gong, and at first they were blocked by Zu Na, Yin Qiao and others - those two were the main ones - and then the news of the defeat of Zu and Yang came successively, and Zhang Ping also said that the rebel army was strong, and in order to protect Yanxi, the Chinese army should not rush into suppression, and the court was fully inclined to Xun Di.

——Zhang Ping was originally the lord of the Wubao Fort in Qiaojun, and his background was close to Xu Di's, so he got a secret letter sent by Xu Di, saying that my move was just to make Zu Yue ugly and prevent him from inheriting the military power of the hussar general, and there was no intention of rebelling against the imperial court--we should still unanimously support the eldest prince-Zhang Ping immediately stationed troops in Liqiu, no matter how Zu Yue urged, he refused to enter Dongping.

Xun Di sent someone to contact Xu Niche on this, and Xu Niche said that he was willing to be appeased, as long as the court agreed to him on two conditions-

First, pardon him for the crimes of rebellion and killing Zhou Mo; Second, remove Zu Yue Yanzhou from the post of assassin of history, but do not call him back to the court, and do not let him go.

Xun Di saw that the conditions were not too much, so he immediately allowed it, and issued an edict to reprimand Zu Yue, remiss his Yanzhou Assassin History, and reappoint him as Runan Taishou - the new Yanzhou Assassin Shi is Xiahou Cheng.

Xiahou Cheng Ziwen, the great grandfather is Cao Wei's general Xiahou Yuan - Yuan's fourth son Xiahou Wei, Wei's second son Xiahou Zhuang, Zhuang gave birth to seven sons and two daughters, and Xiahou Cheng is the son of the second son Xiahou Chun. By the way, Xiahou Zhuang still has two daughters, one married Sima Ji, the king of Langxigong, and gave birth to Sima Rui, the current king of Danyang; married Wang Lan's fourth son, Wang Zheng, and gave birth to Wang Kuang, Wang Hui and Wang Bin. Therefore, Xiahou Cheng, Sima Rui and Wang Xian brothers are serious cousins.

The rebellion of Xu Gong started in an instant, and it was decided in an instant, which caught all parties a little off guard.

When Shi Le heard the news, he was furious, and couldn't help but scold: "Taishan is a cunning thief, you dare to deceive me!" "Because Xu Gong secretly contacted Zhang Yi and threw flattery to Xiangguo, it was said that he was forced by the ancestral covenant and had no choice but to surrender, hoping that Shi Zhao would be willing to accept it, then he would give at least half of Yanzhou to him. Although Shi Le didn't believe in Xu Gong very much, he also hoped that he could make trouble until after the autumn, and contain the soldiers of Luoyang, so that he could gallop up and down the river freely. Who would have thought that in just one month, Xu Gong would rebel and surrender, and he forcibly threw himself out to feign Zhang Yi!

Zhang Jing persuaded him to calm his anger and said: "Your Majesty, the so-called one day of disloyalty, you will not use it for life, Xu has already betrayed once, and there may not be no gaps in the future." Now it will return to Jin quickly, because our army is not yet able to march on the river, and wait for the southern expedition after the autumn, and then try to lure it, maybe it can be used. ”

Shi Le groaned for a moment, and then nodded: "Qingyan is yes." "Turned his head to take care of Cheng Yao, and said that you continue to hold this line for me, if you can say that Xu Gong will rebel in the future, it will be a great achievement.

Besides, Su Jun was trying to practice with Xu Niche to expand his strength and power, but suddenly he heard, what, Xu Niche was said to have surrendered? It's the Xun family who came to spoil me again! It's really infuriating. Han Huang sent someone over to ask for an order, saying that since the chaos has been settled, should we withdraw from the army? Su Jun immediately slapped the table: "Don't retreat!" ”

By the time of the autumn harvest, it has been less than two months, and I originally planned to delay it until after the autumn, so won't the imperial court be able to transfer me north to reinforce me for the second time? He consulted with Changshi Xu Wei and Jia Ning, who joined the army, but he secretly mocked Yang Jian and asked him to transfer the "Donglai Battalion" to help suppress the thieves in Taishan County. Yang Jingqi was defeated by Xu Gong before, and almost all the army was wiped out - in fact, with the quality of the soldiers in this year, most of them fled back to their hometown - just because they were unable to suppress the thieves, so they fell into Su Jun's trap.

So Su Zigao took the opportunity to turn to Tun Banyang, and ordered Han Huang to lead 700 troops to die in Taishan County to help suppress the thieves, and the external caliber was: My whole army has gone to Mount Tai, don't look for me for the affairs of the north.

As for Guanzhong hearing the news, Pei Gai couldn't help but sigh: "I know that Xu Gong is a thief!" Pei Wei, Tao Kan and others couldn't help but arch their hands and said: "Ming Gong (Da Sima) has penetrated the hearts of the people, and it is beyond our reach......

Because he talked about the generals of the ancestral family in the past, Pei Gai mentioned it, saying that the thief nature of the Xu Shrine is not taken off, and I think he will change sooner or later! Naturally, the hundred bureaucrats didn't know that Da Sima had the golden finger of the history books of later generations, and he didn't think so at the time, and he just heard it, but now he verifies his words, as if he can really predict the prophet, and he can't help but bow to the ground.

Pei Gai sighed again: "Xun Daoxuan's weakness, as soon as he is concerned, how can he take on the responsibility of the center?" "Although it is said that in the DPRK and the Central Government now, the Taiwei Xun Group is the head of the government, but the real user is the left servant Xun Di - Xun Group is old, and he said that he will whip the old bones for the time being, and then protect the children, so he basically does not express his position if he does not encounter a major event that the sky is about to fall. Pei Cai sighed that Xun Di had recruited An Cao Wei before, and he was addicted, and this time he hurriedly handed out an olive branch to Xu Di-

"If the court can't punish the rebellion, and make the villain expect to get lucky, the prestige will surely fall, and those who follow suit don't know how many hopes - before pardoning Cao Wei, there is a Xu niche, and now pardoning Xu Niche, I don't know who will be tomorrow!" If Zu Ti is not sick, he will definitely lead the troops to kill him immediately, Xu Gong, you rebel simply, if you want to turn around in time, where in the world is there such an easy thing!

Pei Wei said: "It can be seen that once the ancestor does not shy away from it, the children will not be able to inherit his business, and the Xun family will not be able to control the Chinese army, and it will fall apart, and it is close to the present - the Ming Duke should still pay attention to the affairs of the East, or he must respond to it at any time......"
