The general reported his name, it was Liu Cang, the prince of Huhan, and Xue Tao was stupid on the spot when he heard this.

But although his heart turned a thousand times, his knees instinctively weakened, and he wanted to kowtow, and stammered and asked, "Temple, temple...... Why is Your Highness here? ”

Liu Cang is not sitting in Pingyang, what are you doing in Hedong? Didn't it mean that Tu Ge and the five Xiongnu all gathered troops to collect Sangjin and planned to attack Guanzhong? Even if Liu Cang doesn't personally lead the troops, he should sit in the capital, why did he come to Hedong at this time, and why did he come to see himself who was just a grass people?

Could it be that it was because the wealthy Jin families in Hedong delayed the tribute and refused to lose to the county government as soon as possible, so Liu Cang personally came to ask for it? No, since we got the order of the county guard, until today, we have only delayed for less than five days, and some of the grain and materials have already been lost, so it is perfunctory. Even if the county guard complained to the imperial court, causing Liu Cang to be furious and come to urge him in person, he couldn't have arrived so quickly, right?

Besides, how can there be any reason for the crown prince to go out and beg for food?

Or is it just a lie to take Guanzhong in the west, and Liu Cang actually wants to take advantage of the opportunity of me to be careless and solve Hedong Jinhao in one fell swoop?!

Thinking of this, Xue Tao felt that his hands and feet were cold, and even the cracks of his bones were bubbling out. He was about to kneel, but was grabbed by Liu Cang with one hand, and said, "No need to be polite." Xue Tao trembled and said: "I don't know that His Highness is here in person, and before he can meet him from afar, the grass people are guilty...... The grass people will lead His Royal Highness into the village ......"

Liu Cangyi shook his head: "No need." Then he twisted his chin slightly and said, "I have camped south of Fenyin, near the ferry, and Mr. Xue can go with me." There was a banquet in the camp to entertain Mr. Xue. ”

Then he handed Xue Tao over to his subordinates, and when Hu Bing gave up his mount, a few people pushed Xue Tao onto the horse's back as if he had kidnapped him—although Xue Tao was so weak that he didn't dare to resist at all—Liu Cang took the lead, and dragged him straight to the west.

After Xue Taoxin finished speaking, this is really to clean himself up...... I don't know if Liu Cang came for the Jinhao of the Hedong family, or if he came for himself. If he wants to annex the entire Hedong, I am afraid that except for Pei Shuo, who is an old man, no one is willing to sit and wait to die, and there will be those who will rise up and fight, and he still has a chance; If it's just to clean yourself up, then ......

The other party first wrapped himself away, presumably after which a large army would surging to kill, and the Xue clan suddenly lost its patriarch, and the people's hearts would be chaotic, and I am afraid that it would be difficult to defend...... Poor my son Xue Qiang, just in infancy, his family is about to be ruined!

What is it for? Could it be that he secretly cleared Pei Gai, and the news was revealed? However, if this is the case, Liu Cang can take his life with a knife in front of the Zhuangyuan, why should he be coerced? He also said that he should entertain himself when he set up a wine banquet......

Besides, if Liu Cang only led these dozens of horsemen, it was normal for him not to be warned in advance; If the Hu army comes to attack on a large scale, or even just the county soldiers have moved, there is no reason for me not to know - scattering so many eyeliners all over the county, is it all for nothing?

I thought about it repeatedly, but I couldn't find out. If someone else comes, for example, it is really a new county lieutenant, or even a famous general and important minister, Xue Tao will not be arrested, no matter what, he will have to struggle, or shout and ask the reason; But it was Liu Cang, who was both famous and famous, and Xue Tao couldn't have the slightest idea of resistance from the bottom of his heart......

The horse team galloped, and in an instant, they ran out of more than ten miles, and sure enough, dozens of camp tents were temporarily set up on a plain near the crossing of the Yellow River in the south of Fenyin County. A tent in the middle, its width is several zhang, gold is the top, all over the thread, extremely luxurious. Hu Bing put Xue Tao into the account, Liu Cang came over and patted him on the shoulder, and ordered: "Although I have ordered someone to set up a banquet to entertain Mr. Xue, it is a pity that Gu has never liked to drink too much, and it is best to have a full of guests and staggered - is Mr. willing to write a letter and summon Mr. Pei and others for me?" ”

Xue Taoxin said that he was here, and when he saw it, Liu Cang really wanted to wipe out the Jin people in Hedong in one fell swoop! He immediately bent his knees, knelt down in front of Liu Cang, and said in a dumb voice: "I don't know who trapped us and others, so that His Highness planned to gather and kill them...... We all respect the emperor and the Han, and we are the loyal people of His Royal Highness, and I hope that His Royal Highness will not listen to the words of the villain, and kill the good and cause the relatives to be bitter and hateful! ”

Liu Cang glanced at him, and seemed to be smiling: "Who is the cloud lonely and wants to gather and kill Qing and so on?" If you really want to settle on a county in Hedong and send a general to lead a heavy army, why bother to come and invite Mr. in person? A lone kindness, sir, don't doubt it. ”

Immediately, he didn't support Xue Tao, but sat down on the top with a golden sword, and said in a loud voice: "If I don't know the reason, I guess Mr. will be puzzled and refuse to write a book for me." Let's tell the truth, this time in Guanzhong, we should take Fenyin and Xia Yang as the crossing, and the preface crosses Sangjin is the strategy to confuse the enemy! Then the army will go from the east to the west of the river, and there will be Lao Zhuqing to supply grain and straw, and drive the king forward......"

——————————

Liu Can's plan at the beginning was not to go west to collect Sangjin, as Tao Kan said, the place is densely hilly, the road is dangerous and narrow, and you have to go around a big circle to enter the level, and the transportation road is really difficult to guarantee. What's even worse is that if the battle on the front line is unfavorable, will Liu Yao lead his troops south from Gaonu to cut off his own back road? Liu Cang and Liu Yao don't get along, he has already cheated Liu Yao several times, do you know that Liu Yao will not take the opportunity to take revenge?

If he changes places, he will definitely seize this great opportunity, clean up the other party, and then wave his army to Pingyang and seize power.

Therefore, it was only a false voice to cross Sangjin, but the army died down and secretly went south, intending to cross the Yellow River between Fenyin and Xiayang. This location is far away from Dali, the base camp of Tao Kan's department, and after crossing the river, it is close to the hilly and gully areas in the north of Feng Yi, and the plain area is relatively narrow. In other words, as long as Sheng Chen's army was in a dangerous and narrow place, he could stop the Jin army from coming to help, break through Xia Yang without much effort, and take the first bridgehead in Guanzhong.

Therefore, Tao Kan also said that if Hu Jun waded from Xiayang, it would have been the best policy. But it's a pity that the army can't be silent, if the news leaks in advance, the Jin army can first gather the main force in the area near Xiayang, stop it, and even attack halfway. It is inevitable that Liu Cang will not be able to pull tens of thousands of troops, just play hide and seek with the Jin people on the east bank of the Yellow River, and don't look for a ferry.

Therefore, in order to keep the news secret, so that the Jin people did not know where they would cross the river from, they had to disperse their forces and defend each crossing. The first step, of course, is to raise his voice to collect Sangjin to the west, and at the same time, he also ordered the soldiers and horses of Liuyi such as Di and Qiang to hold high the banner of Tuge and the elite of the Huns, and really go to Caisangjin to make a virtual turn.

The second step is to clean up those Hedong Jin people.

Taishi Liu Jing and others originally did not recommend going to Guanzhong through Hedong, because it was difficult to guarantee the back of Jin Shihao.

There are many wealthy families in Hedong, and the fame, land, and household registration are naturally headed by Wen Xi Pei, and the most powerful military is Fenyin Xue, in addition to Wen Xi, there are Biqiu clans, Anyi has Wei clans, Xie County has Liu clans, Liang clans, etc., no less than a dozen families, all of their fields, almost half of a county, and more in terms of population.

To tell the truth, if these Jin people could unite and resist with one heart when the Liu clan first raised their troops, even if they were finally defeated, Hu Han would not have ravaged Henan and besieged Luoyang in less than five years. Today, if Liu Cang wants to solve the problem of these Jin people in one fell swoop, it is estimated that at least more than 50,000 elite soldiers will be invested, fighting for more than three years, and completely trampling the anointed land in Hedong...... Even if the Jin Dynasty has been destroyed and the north and south of the river have been controlled, this is still a loss-making transaction.

Therefore, since Liu Yuan established the foundation, for these Jin people, including the Jia clan in Pingyang County, etc., they have basically been fetters, as long as you serve the Han Zhengshuo and do not rebel, I will allow local autonomy. Moreover, many of the dock forts near the Yellow River belonged to the Jin and Hu for a long time before - including when their descendants entered Henan - and the Pingyang regime had to treat it as if it had not been seen.

On this timeline, since Zu Ti has exhausted the land of Henan, recovered Luoyang, and Sheng Chen soldiers and horses on the south bank of the Yellow River, then Hedong Jinhao, who is a stone's throw away, will secretly communicate with him, which is something that can be thought of with his toes. Liu Jing and the others were therefore worried that even if those guys didn't dare to really rebel before the situation was clear, they were very likely to leak the military information to Pei Gai and Tao Kan. If the Jin people know that I will be crossed by Fenyin, and the heavy troops will be in Xiayang, this will be tantamount to throwing themselves into the net.

Therefore, Liu Cang personally led his troops to take the lead, and Xue Tao was brought out from the Zhuang courtyard, and at the same time, hundreds of people in his department took over the defense of the ferry, and strictly ordered that no boats should be crossed, so as to block the news. Liu Cang also ordered Xue Tao to write a book, and "invited" Pei Shuo and other patriarchs of nearby families to his big tent, and asked them for food, materials, and even soldiers.

He comforted Xue Tao and said: "The military is secret, in order to avoid the leakage of news, it is so that Mr. is invited here, and there is no malice." Mr. Gu Jiumu's name, when the country is just employing people, so Mr. is frightened, don't blame Mr. He immediately ordered someone to take a plate and handed it to Xue Tao with his own hands.

Xue Tao was still kneeling on the ground, taking it with both hands and taking a look, it turned out to be a "letter of appointment", covered with a large seal of Shangshu, worshiping him as the general of the Jin Dynasty and sealing the Marquis of Fenyin County.

Xue Tao was taken aback, hurriedly raised his hands high, trembling to return the plate, and said: "The grass people are dull and the nature of the mountains and wilderness, and they really don't want to do it, so that the case is in shape, and I hope His Royal Highness will forgive ......"

Liu Cang leaned forward slightly, his face sank like water, looked at Xue Tao, and said word by word: "If Mr. Xue really has no intention of being a leader, it is inconvenient to be lonely. In ancient times, hermits often sought mountains and high waters to avoid the hustle and bustle, so it was better to send the lone army to send Mr. into Wushan and live for a long time, how about it? ”

Without waiting for Xue Tao to react, he suddenly raised his eyebrows again, and shouted: "The country is trying to fight hard to strengthen the army, the Central Plains, the iron cavalry to step on the place, or die or surrender, how can there be two ways?" If the gentleman refuses to serve the country and refuses to return to the mountains and forests, then it is impossible to say, 'Zhilan is in charge, and he has to hoe'! Of course, for the sake of the country's long-term peace and stability, I can't suddenly calm Hedong, but if I only destroy the Xue clan, what is the difficulty?! ”

Xue Tao not only his hands, but also his entire body were all hooked, and the more he trembled, the more he trembled

Liu Cang said: "Sir, put away the book, don't shake your hands - if the plate lands, the six armies will be sent immediately, step on Dong Ting, and destroy the Xue clan!" The poor gentleman's wife, his young son, will die without a place to be buried. But don't worry, sir, I won't kill my husband first, although it is rare for wives and children to see their husbands and relatives again, when Mr. is dying, he is expected to see the remains of his wife and children again. ”

Xue Tao was terrified to the extreme, hurriedly held the plate in his hand, and bowed to the ground—of course, he had to try his best to control his hands and not let the book touch the ground—and mourned repeatedly: "Your Highness, Your Highness, spare your life, my wife and children are not guilty......"

Liu Cang sneered: "In this troubled world, are there still few people who kill without guilt? If you want to live, it is not about being guilty or not, but whether you are willing to use it for me. Lonely and anxious, please give a reply as soon as possible. He raised his voice slightly: "Excuse me, sir, is you willing to accept my position as an emperor?" ”

"I ...... I...... Thank you, Your Highness...... The Imperial Court ...... Grace"

"Will Sir make a book for me?"

"Minister...... The minister is willing to ......"

——————————

Xue Tao was inexplicably taken away by dozens of Hu soldiers, and when the news reached the village, the Xue clan was shocked. Someone was about to copy the guy and chase after him, but was stopped by Xue Tao's brother Xue Ning, saying: "Brother Brother's life and death are unknown, and I don't know what the Hu people mean by robbing him...... Or send someone to find out the news. ”

Someone said that this must be because the county could not ask for tribute, so they robbed the head of the family. Xue Ning said: "If this is the case, it is not a big difficulty, and if the tribute is lost in time, the elder brother can return it." I'm afraid that the Hu people want to take my brother as a hostage, break my Wu Fort, and clan my Xue clan ......"

Originally, there were a few seniors and elders in the clan, but most of them were uninformed, and they were in a hurry, and they couldn't come up with any ideas for a while. Xue Ning muttered: "If the Hu people really want to attack my village, and the elder brother is not there, everyone is different, and it is really difficult to resist...... Xue Qiangbi in the north has just formed, and it is extremely strong, so twenty or thirty thousand soldiers can resist it, so I might as well retreat to Xue Qiangbi......"

But no matter how strong Xue Qiangbi is, after all, it is just a dock fort that protects the courtyard, and there are thousands of people in the whole clan surnamed Xue alone, so it is impossible to squeeze them all in. Xue Ning ordered his clan to close the gate of the village and climb the wall to guard it, while he himself protected Xue Tao's wife, children, and hundreds of cronies, and went straight to Xue Qiangbi.

The reason is very good - "If Brother is killed, Xiaoqiang is the eldest and can be the master of the Xue family." I should be a good assistant to my young nephew and defend my hometown. ”

It was so noisy until dusk, and finally a spy came back to report that Xue Tao had been robbed by the Hu people and had entered a camp south of Fenyin. The left-behind clansmen urgently reported to Xue Qiangbi's Xue Ning, and Xue Ning asked clearly that there were only dozens of tents there, and it was estimated that there were more than 100 people, so he planned to lead the troops to rescue Xue Tao at night. But then Hu Qiqi came and sent Xue Tao's letter......
