Chapter 52, the bear child
Shi Le's killing of Wang Mi and the southward movement of his army caused a great shock to all forces.
In fact, before he went south, Liu Yao had already broken through Chang'an City and captured Sima Mo, the king of Nanyang of the Jin Dynasty, but then Feng Xu Taishou Suo Qi and others recommended Jia Kai as the general of Pingxi, joined forces, counterattacked Chang'an, and repeatedly defeated the Han soldiers......
When Wang Mi's head was sent to Pingyang, the Han lord Liu Cong was furious and wanted to send his son Liu Cang, the king of Hanoi, to lead an army to attack Shile. But then came the news that Shi Le went south, and Liu Yao let the Jin army force to fight in Guanzhong, Liu Yao was not stupid, and immediately passed the "face change" of Shu without a teacher, and issued an edict to appoint Shi Le as the general of Zhendong, the governor and the military of Youyou Erzhou, and the history of the state assassination.
That means, the battle in the north hasn't ended yet, you hurry back, why are you going to the south? I won't blame you, so why should you be so frightened that you run away?
As for the Jin Dynasty, Sima Rui, the king of Langya, who was in Jianye, was naturally shocked when he heard the news that Shile was heading south, and hurriedly ordered the general Ji Zhan to lead the army to resist. Ji Zhan summoned all the troops and horses, and successively assembled in Shouchun, and it is estimated that when the spring of the next year begins, the Shile army will inevitably go down the Huai or along the river, and then our army will also gather about the same, so it will be a general decisive battle with him.
Time is like flowing water, in the blink of an eye, it came to the sixth year of Yongjia in the Western Jin Dynasty, and it was also the second year of Jiaping in Hu Hanguo. On this day, he was really depressed in the tent, so he took Pei Xiong and rode around the vicinity, looking up, the sky was dark, and the sky was full of dark clouds, as if he was in a state of mind at the moment......
This year's winter, the temperature is slightly higher than in previous years, but the warm winter may not be comfortable, it has been raining for almost two months in a row near Gepi, always cloudy for two days, rain for two days, thick clouds are always gone, and the sunshine is always gone. Snow in winter is very good for the next year's agricultural harvest, but rain is two different things, not to mention the low-lying terrain here, Shile was forced to mobilize a lot of auxiliaries and people to dig ditches to drain water, causing many people to freeze and even freeze to death.
Although Hu Pawn and Shengbing did not have to do hard labor, most of them were northerners, and they could not tolerate this kind of dampness and cold—although compared to the Yangtze River Valley, this little bit of water vapor was a fart—and they also fell ill a lot.
Even Pei Shi was seriously ill not long ago. Pei Gai originally wanted to distance himself from her for a while in the name of quarrels and conflicts, so that he could carry out his next plan, but seeing Pei's pitiful and sick face, he still couldn't help but go to visit and even decoction medicine from time to time—he didn't worry about the two knives and quacks—and he didn't know if it would affect his plan. But what's even worse is that Pei Gai suddenly found that his memory was wrong, which led to the escape plan having to be greatly adjusted......
He remembered that it was said in the history books that after Shi Le annexed Gou Xi and Wang Mi, he marched into Gepi and plotted to attack Jianye. Originally, I thought that Ge Pi was not too far away from Jianye, so it would be convenient to find an opportunity to take Pei's horse and run away, who would have thought that Ge Pi would be here...... You said that there is no stable base area yet, and it is 108,000 miles away from Jianye, so far away, do you have in your head?! Even if this Ge Pi is more than 400 miles away from Shouchun, the gathering place of the Jin army's front line, how can he escape unless he straddles a thousand miles of horses, and even he and the Pei clan are skilled in bowing and horses, and can run day and night, without stopping, how can he escape? I'm afraid that if I can't go out for a hundred miles, I will inevitably be caught up by Hu Qi!
What to do? This is the last chance. Once he left Gepi, according to the historical records, Shi Le was going to go north to take Handan and Xiangguo directly, and he was afraid that he would have no way to escape...... No, I'm going to have to take a big risk!
Just thinking like this, he suddenly heard a scream in his ears, and then there was a sharp pain in his forehead, and his eyes were dark, and Pei should fall off his horse with a fight......
——————————
Shi Le killed Wang Mi and waved his army south, and the news spread everywhere, so that Liu Kun, the assassin of the Jin Dynasty, saw the contradictions between their Hu and Han monarchs and ministers, so he used the strategy of his staff officer Zhang Ru to lobby Shi Le anyway. He asked Zhang Ru to bring a letter to Shi Le, and the letter first praised Shi Le, saying that the general made a career between Heshuo, swept Yan and Henan prefectures, and until he drank Ma Jianghuai, even if he was a famous general in ancient times, he was not as powerful as you! But then the conversation changed, saying that you are just blindly wandering, and all the cities and lands you have captured cannot really be occupied, and it will be like dark clouds gathering for a while, and scattering like meteors for a while, which is not a long-term solution. Do you know why this is happening?
Because no matter how powerful an individual is, it is useless, the key depends on whether he is attached to the master and whether he has achieved the general trend of the world. Relying on the master is a righteous soldier, following the rebellion is a thief soldier, even if the volunteer loses for a while, he will definitely succeed in the end, and even if the thief soldier will win every battle, he will not escape the end of being annihilated...... Look at the red eyebrows and yellow scarves back then, how arrogant they were at one time, but they failed very quickly. So with your qualifications, general, why do you want to be the same as the Huns? Why don't you return to Jin anyway? Since ancient times, the Hu people have not been able to be emperors, of course, for the famous ministers and meritorious deeds, the history is endless......
I hope that the general will be a famous minister of Jin, and work with me to calm the world and re-secure the society!
The letter also sent a letter of appointment, appointing Shi Le as the general of the Jin Dynasty's servants, holding festivals, and chariots, leading the Xiongnu Zhonglang generals, and sealing the Xiangcheng County Duke. In fact, Liu Kun does not have this authority - so this kind of mandate is called a "tabula rasa" - the problem is that now that the emperor is in the hands of others, the imperial court is completely invalid, and no one can jump out to accuse him of Liu Yueshi exceeding his authority......
Of course, just empty words and a letter of appointment that may not be able to be made, it must be unconvincing to Shi Le, but fortunately, Liu Kun still has a magic weapon in hand-
Shi Le's hometown is in Wuxiang County, Shangdang County, and his family is quite poor - later history books say that his father Shi Zhou Haozhu is a small chief of the Liang people, which may not be reliable, and the small chief of the Liang nationality is compared to the Jin people, so how can you be a rich peasant, but Shi Le is also forced to go to other people's houses to work as a tenant. During the Tai'an period of Emperor Hui of Jin, there was a great famine in Bingzhou, and Ma Teng of the Prefecture Assassin Shi and Dongying Company formed a "beggar army", planning to go to Hebei and Shandong to ask for food, and before leaving, he captured Hu people everywhere in order to sell them for money and buy equipment - Shi Le was also arrested, so he was forced to leave his hometown and was sold to Chiping Shi Huan as a herdsman.
Since then, he has been separated from his family, and later his father found him and temporarily settled in Pingyang, the Han capital, and there was no news from his mother. Who would have thought that by coincidence, the Wang family actually fell into the hands of Liu Kun, Liu Kun felt that this was a strange commodity, so he would eat and drink to feed it, this time in order to persuade Shi Le to go anyway, he ordered Zhang Ru to escort the Wang family to Ge Pi safely.
When Shi Le heard the news, he rushed out of the tent before he even had time to put on his shoes, and fell down in front of his mother's feet, like a child, holding his mother's thighs and crying loudly. Zhang Ru took a look from the side, there is a drama in this matter - if he has no relationship with his mother, then I guess I can't move him at all; Since the mother and son are so affectionate, it is a great favor for me to send her mother back, at least I can talk about it because of this, so that I will not be rejected thousands of miles away.
The mother and son cried and talked, and it took a while to finally hold back their tears. Shi Le helped Wang and said that it was cold outside, mother, you should hurry up and go into the tent with me to roast the fire, Wang then remembered and said, "Xiaohu is also coming with me......"
When Shi Le heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said in his heart Who is "Little Tiger"? Then I remembered, "Oh, is that little guy still alive?" How old is he...... Hurriedly asked: "Where is Xiaohu?" ”
Wang said that the little guy had a wild temperament, and he disappeared just now, and he didn't know where he was going. Shi Lexin said that this is the base camp of our army, and he dares to run around with a strange face, but don't be cut down as a spy, so he hurriedly ordered people to look for it quickly.
But as soon as the order was passed down, I saw Zhi Qu Liuqi coming over, kneeling on one knee when he saw him, clenched his fists, and said that he had just caught a spy and dared to hurt Mr. Pei, but when he was about to cut him, he stiffened his neck and said that it was your brother, the lord-"Do you really know this person?" ”
When Shi Le heard this, he was shocked on the spot: "How did you hurt Pei Lang?!" Then he pouted: "Where did I come from such a brother!" ”
——————————
Pei Gai was immediately thinking about something on a high place, but suddenly he was hit the forehead, and he fell off the horse with a heel. Then he struggled to his feet, and reached out to touch it, and his head was covered in blood—where did I come from, an assassin? And if you don't go to stab Shile, why do you want to stab me? Was this Diao Ying or sent by Xu Guang?
It shouldn't be Cheng Yao, that guy is in the dark, and I am quite harmonious with him on the surface, and the private conflict is not to the point of death......
I heard the sound of shouting and cheering, and when I raised my head to take a look, I saw that Pei Xiong had already jumped a few feet away, and was scuffling with a person. Observe the man intently, he is quite tall and burly, but looking at his face, he should not be very old, that is, he is just a young man, and he has not even grown hair on his mouth. Is this an Assassin? And behold, there was a short bow on the ground nearby......
Did you strike me with this bow? Why don't I have an arrow on my forehead? Oh, I guess it's not a horse bow, but a slingshot...... At such a distance, if I had fired an iron bullet, I guess my head would have been pierced, and since I didn't wear it, it just bleed—it didn't seem like my injuries were too serious—unless it was a mud pellet. But how can there be mud pills for assassination? Who is this bastard, what do I have to grudge against him, what is he going to do?!
Pei Gai stood up, looked left and right, looking for a helper—seeing that Pei Xiong couldn't take the "assassin" in a short time—suddenly saw that Zhi Quliu was leading a team to patrol by, so he waved his hand and shouted: "Catch the spy!" ”
To say that the young man is really brave, he actually scuffled with Pei Xiong for a long time, although he fell behind, he did not give up. But when Zhi Qu Liu led the soldiers over, it was different, he was knocked to the ground on the spot, not only full of old punches, but also saw that Mr. Pei, whom he admired, was covered with blood, Zhi Qu Liu was furious, and immediately pulled out his knife, and wanted to break the neck of the little young man.
But when the young man saw that he couldn't run, he suddenly screamed by the neck: "How dare you kill me?" I am the brother of Shire! ”
When Zhi Quliu heard this, he was quite puzzled, and the knife could not fall in mid-air. Pei Gai is also quite strange - Shile's brother? Shile still has brothers, how did I not know?
In the army, there are only two relatives of Shi Le, one is his wife Liu, and the second is Shi Xing, the son born to Liu, who is still in infancy. In addition, Shile is a lonely man, no brothers, no sisters, no sisters, and his father and mother are not here—where did he come from with a brother?
couldn't help but cover his head and take a step forward, and asked, "Who are you, how dare you pretend to be the brother of the county prince?" ”
The young man tilted his head and cursed, saying that I was Shi Le's brother—"My name is Shi Hu!" ”
When Pei Gai heard this name, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, and then said to Zhi Quliu: "Don't pay attention to it, just cut it." ”
Shi Hu scolded: "I came thousands of miles to visit my brother, so you don't know it, but how dare you cut me?" If you kill me, my brother will be killed! ”
Pei should urge one by one, cut it, cut it quickly, don't hesitate! But Zhi Qu Liu was not stupid, but he still didn't dare to do it, but he ordered someone to quickly bandage Pei Gai's wound first, and then said: "When I show my lord, it's not too late to kill this fang." ”
Pei Caixin said don't mind, if Shi Le knew about this, where could he let you cut off this bastard's head?!
——————————
Shihu Shi Jilong will be famous in the future...... Or should I say that he was notorious as a first-class tyrant and executioner during the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms. He took pleasure in slaughtering cities and plundering his people, without the slightest mercy. Shi Le killed all the princes and courtiers of the Jin Dynasty in Ningping City, and Gou Xiren was called "Tu Bo", how cruel it was, if compared with what Shi Hu did, it was just a drizzle......
Shi Le didn't know why he was blind, just because Shi Hu fought bravely, he placed his responsibilities on the side. As a result, before his bones were cold, Shi Hu killed Xu Guang and Cheng Yao, forced the prince Shi Hong, monopolized power, and then usurped the throne and stood on his own. Shi Le's queen Liu and her adopted son Shi Kan conspired to punish him, and after the defeat, Liu was killed, and Shi Kan was "burned and killed". Later, several of Shi Le's own sons, including Shi Hong, were all killed by Shi Hu's seclusion.
The situation in the Central Plains, which had gradually stabilized, was set off by Shi Hu for a new round of turmoil and killing, and the once prosperous Shi Hou Zhao became a short-lived dynasty. Not only the fall of the Later Zhao and even the Shi family, but even the later Qian people were almost slaughtered by Ran Min, and only more than 10,000 people fled to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
So when Pei Gai heard that this person called himself Shi Hu, he was really angry, and even if he wanted to kill him, he would prevent future troubles - not the trouble of the Shi family, but the trouble of the people of the Han and Hu ethnic groups! It's a pity that although Zhi Quliu has a tacit understanding with Pei Gai, he is not a puppet in his hands after all, and the target of loyalty is still Shi Le......
