Before Pei Gai met Zu Li, he was reading the report sent by Xie Feng of the Eastern Route Army. This report is written on half a roll of paper, more than four feet long, four and six, brilliant writing, no need to ask, it must have been written by Wang Gong.

Pei Gai read it at a glance and ten lines, and said in his heart that a new military order should be announced, and all official documents in the army must be in prose, and the words must be easy to understand, and no more prose is allowed!

Classical Chinese was regarded as a daunting path by many people in later generations, but in this year, in fact, the distance between it and spoken language is not too large, just like the difference between written language and daily colloquialism in later generations. Since the Han Dynasty, scholars' compositions have gradually absorbed a lot of elements of poetry, paying attention to battles and rhymes, and finally produced the pun during the Wei and Jin dynasties, which is not something that everyone can read clearly.

In essence, this is a special style of writing that the scholars show off to themselves, in order to be different from the common people, resulting in a beautiful literary style. There are many four words and six words, so it is also known as "four or six words", or "骈四骊六", in order to conform to the format and show the literary style, often do not hesitate to use words to hurt the intentions, and write the things that are clearly clear and foggy, inexplicable. There are also prose sentences in the prose, which generally account for two to three components, but the real content is actually mostly contained in the prose sentences, which are basically useless for the narrative and have a purely lyrical effect.

For example, if Wang Gong's report were to extract the prose sentences and refine the meaning of the sentences, it would be estimated that 2,000 words would be at the end, and there would be no need to write it that long, so fancy......

The things mentioned in the report are actually very simple, and they can be summed up as three things: First, according to the original plan, Wang Gong went to Guanggu alone to lobby Cao Wei, during which all kinds of thrilling and verbal swords accounted for seventy percent of the report. In the end, Cao Wei was moved by what he said, and promised to immediately send an envoy south to Jiankang to go to Sima Rui, the king of Langya, to be a minister and turn his back on the Han and follow the Jin.

Cao Wei was originally Wang Mi's left long history, and followed Wang Mi to the Han Dynasty, but in fact, his loyalty to the Hu and Han regimes was very weak; In addition, this person has no ambition and just wants to divide Qingzhou, so in the original history, he once took the initiative to send Jiankang and was worshiped by the Eastern Jin Dynasty as General Pingdong, Qingzhou Thorn History, and Marquis of Guangrao. Therefore, Pei Gai originally had a certain degree of confidence in Cao Wei anyway, and it was not a delusional fantasy.

In the old timeline, Cao Wei later basically annexed the entire Qingzhou, but formed an alliance with Shile in Hebei, agreeing that Hedong belonged to Cao and Hexi belonged to Shi. It was not until Shi Le proclaimed himself King of Zhao that he sent Shi Hu to cross the river to the south and destroy Cao Wei's forces in one fell swoop.

In this timeline, Shi Le fought with Cao Wei in advance, and the two families formed some grudges. Now that Shile is in Hebei, he may one day go south to attack Qingzhou, and in this case, Cao Wei also has a good relationship with Xuzhou in the south, in order to get reinforcements and respond in the future. Therefore, the prince went to the Lotus Tongue and immediately persuaded Cao Wei.

The second thing mentioned in Wang Gong's report is that Shi Le led his troops south to attack Santai Liu Yan, and Liu Yan was unable to support himself, not only asking for help from Shao Xu, but also sending people to cross the river to the south and ask for help from Yan and Xu Erzhou. On the Yanzhou side, Zu Tiqin led the main force of the Northern Expedition, and naturally there were no remaining troops to save Liu Yan - otherwise, with his relationship with Liu Kun, he would definitely be saved - and in Xuzhou, Xie Feng took it upon himself to lead his troops west to Zhuxian in Qingzhou, thinking that it echoed.

It's a pity that the distance is too far, and it can't be rushed, Xie Feng hasn't found a suitable place to cross the river here, and there is news that Santai has fallen and Liu Yan is defeated and escaped......

The third thing is that Su Jun led his troops to return - since Cao Wei promised to return to Jin, Su Zigao also arrived in Dongguan from Ye County through Cao Wei's territory frankly. In this great migration, more than 4,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of civilians were thrown in, and Wang Gong placed most of them in various counties in Dongguan and seized the land for cultivation. Xie Feng and Wang Gong asked Su Jun to join the expedition, and Su Zigao also knew about the matter, and he sent more than 700 cronies and "Robbery Fire Left Battalion" to the west.

Wang Gong also said in the report: I look at Su Jun, not willing to live under the people for a long time, the situation is compelled, I have to follow, and I hope that you will pay attention to it - of course, he used the pun script, and also set a bunch of old classics, comparing with many ancients, just such a little meaning, and forced out six groups of battle sentences......

Xuzhou is not on the verge of the Yellow River, and since it has been said that Cao Wei will descend, then the ferry port in the lower reaches of the Yellow River can be handed over to Cao Wei for defense - I believe that Cao Wei will not easily let Shi Le come over, and Wang Gong estimates that Shi Le will have to go to Linzhang and still need time to digest it, and it is unlikely that he will cross the south this winter - the defense of the middle reaches will be responsible for Yanzhou. As a result, the Eastern Route Army basically completed its mission, and Xie Feng planned to take Su Jun to the west from the north of Mount Tai to support Luozhong.

Pei should check the map, pinch his fingers and calculate, it is estimated that Xie Feng will probably go to Puyang at this time, and in about ten days, he can enter Henan.

He handed over the report to Tao Kan to read, and the sergeant came to report that Zuyuzhou was about to arrive. Pei should hurry up and tidy up his clothes, personally lead the generals, and go out of the camp to greet him, and Zu Ti asked as soon as they met: "How fast did Wen Yue come?" "The implication is that you have broken your promise, why don't you stay in Chenggao for two more days?

Pei Cai hurriedly apologized: "People's hearts are like flowing water, it is easy to go down, and it is difficult to go against it, it is necessary to fail to anticipate the opportunity first, and there is a disappointment to the ancestor - ashamed, ashamed." "I admit that it was due to arrogance in the army.

Zu Ti smiled and waved his hand: "The military heart is like a cloud, easy to see but difficult to turn - Wen Yue knows the drawbacks, and I am relieved." "I'm afraid that you don't know your own situation," I don't know who is the other, and I know myself, one wins and one loses; If you don't know who you are, you don't know yourself, you will die in every battle." Since I admit that it is a matter of military morale, there is no need for me to say more.

So the two returned to the camp together, joined hands in the account, and began to discuss the next plan of action.

Prior to this, Zu Ti first gave a general introduction to the course of the Battle of Bishui, and came to the conclusion: "This time, Liu Cang's leadership is the elite of the Hu army, and I have twice the troops against the plains, stopping the small victory, and the text should not be ignored." Pei Gai said that I know, and then introduced to Zu Ti the various battles from the battle of Qixing Fort to the enemy Liu Fu under the city of Yanshi, and said: "Liu Xun's 3,000 troops were defeated by our army's rapid attack; Liu Fu's department is also 3,000, and the fierce battle with my 'Lifeng Battalion' has also stopped a small defeat - I know the elite courage of the Hu army. ”

Then he said: "Ran Hu Yanyan came to help Liu Cang, with more than 30,000 troops, and it is expected that the Hu army will not be as elite as Xu." We can fight here and defeat the thief! ”

The location of the formation was discussed, the Yuzhou army was in the south, and the Xuzhou army was in the north, building a barracks and waiting for the Hu army to come to the door. Considering that the Yuzhou army is tired from afar, and the Hu army must also reorganize its army, it is estimated that it will not be able to fight today, or tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, and the decisive battle will break out.

But then the sentinel came to report, but the two were shocked. The detective said, the west gate of Yanshi City was opened, and Hu troops entered one after another, and the total number was estimated to be much more than 30,000, but at the same time, many Hu troops went out of the city and went straight to the west, and they didn't know where to go.

Zu Ti looked at the map for a long time, frowned and asked, "Do you want to copy our army?" ”

Pei Gai couldn't figure it out, but hesitated to retort: "If you want to copy me, why don't you go out from the north and south gates, but go west?" "We're just stuck in the east of the city, why do you have to go around in such a big circle?" And in the land of Pingchuan, if you want to attack Chenggao or save the Wu clan, how can we not know? What are the benefits of plagiarism like this? ”

Zu Ti thought for a long time, and suddenly slapped the table and said, "I know it!" "He said that Chang'an must have gotten the news and sent troops eastward, intending to flank the Hu army with us and others, so Liu Cang was forced to divide his troops to intercept it. Pei Caixin said that Suo Juxiu's soft egg, do you have the guts, or do you have this motivation? But other than that, I really can't think of any other possibilities......

Could it be that Suo Qi was really forced by Liu Yao to have no way out, and planned to break through to the east with the Son of Heaven and come to Hongnong and Henan? Considering that Liu Yao has gone down to Feng Yi and is a stone's throw away from Chang'an, it is said that Sima Bao has also cut off the grain route in Longshang, so it is not impossible for Sima Ye to be forced to go to the east to join us.

Although the Chang'an regime has always been in harmony with the Jiankang regime, Suo Qi definitely does not want the Son of Heaven to fall into the hands of the Langya faction, but before Pei Gai and Zu Ti sent envoys into the customs and asked for the festival, they wanted to cut off from Jiankang. Maybe Suo Qi felt that Pei and Zu were the objects that could be wooed, so he kept Sima Ye and ran east-Pei Caixin said, if this is indeed the case, history will really change a lot!

In my heart, I was not only at a loss about the unknown future, but also had a trace of longing for creating a new history.

Zu Ti suggested that we should divide a group of soldiers and horses from the south side to the west and try to meet the Son of Heaven. Pei Gai shook his head again and again: "No." Although the thieves are divided now, they are also equal to me, and if I divide the troops again, I am afraid that it will be difficult to fight the thieves head-on. And if the thief pretends to use this to mobilize our army, then the division of troops will play into their hands. "After all, we haven't been able to get the exact news from Chang'an, it's all guesswork. Besides, what if those weak soldiers in Chang'an were intercepted by the Hu army and retreated directly? Isn't the troops we sent out dangerous?

The key is in Pei Gai's mind, he didn't take Sima Ye too seriously, anyway, according to the original history, Sima Ye was captured and did not draw a termination charm for the Jin Dynasty, and did not make the Hu people occupy the Central Plains, and there is no Sima Rui in the south. Although Wang Daozhi and his ilk have no intention of going on a northern expedition, and they always hinder us and others, after all, Sima Rui himself is still a loyal gentleman, and he can barely be regarded as a king. Besides, Director Wang is hateful, isn't Suo Qi hateful?

The two sides weighed each other, in fact, Pei should be more willing to deal with Wang Dao, one is that both sides are surnamed in the Central Plains, Pei and Wang have always had a good relationship, and the other is that Wang Dao is quite generous, so although the soles of his feet are stumbling, he is barely harmonious on the surface, and things will not be done. Suo Juxiu is different, that Guanxi Hankeng killed his colleagues, and he never even blinked his eyes!

However, in Zu Ti's heart, he put the safety of the Son of Heaven in a high position second only to the national society, so he insisted on sending troops. In the end, the two reached a compromise, and Zu Ti sent his sons Zu Jian and Sima Zhang Chang to lead 500 cavalry and 3,000 foot soldiers to the west to inquire about the news of Hongnong and Chang'an - there are not many troops, so it will not have an impact on the war situation, as for whether your son will be in danger, you don't care, why should I say more?

——————————

The Jin army was stationed in the east of Yanshi City for three whole days, and its momentum was getting stronger day by day. One is that Liu Cang returned to Yanshi in a hurry, and there were not many soldiers and horses left in the Wu clan and Yanshou City, and the people were panicked, but they were successfully broken by Fan Ya and Wei Cai, and then the two generals Fan and Wei also led their troops to meet; After receiving Pei Gai's letter, Zhen Sui immediately led his troops out of Chenggao, traveled a hundred miles, and captured the Mengjin ferry in one breath, and then reported to Pei Gai, saying that he planned to leave a new battalion (the other was still stationed in Chenggao) to guard, and led two battalions of soldiers from Lu He to Shouyang to the south to threaten the flank of the Yan division.

However, in the city of Yanshi, the banner died down, and I didn't see the slightest intention of Hu Jun to go out of the city to fight.

Judging that the Hu army remained in Henan, there were still 30,000 or 40,000 people, which was basically the same as the Jin army, and it was impossible for all of them to stay in Yanshi City for a long time, waiting for the Jin army to come to attack. So why don't you come out? What is the plot?

Zu Ti sent people to send the war book into the city, but it was blocked back at the city gate, and the war book was accepted, but he waited left and right, and did not see a reply.

The generals of the Jin army gathered in one place to discuss, and Tao Kan clearly pointed out: "I'm afraid that Liu Cang is no longer in Yanshi!" ”
