Chapter 26, Li's uncle and nephew

The prince persuaded Su Jun to let the Shao family army cross north to attack Fangtou, he had a lotus tongue and talked eloquently, which sounded purely for Su Jun's consideration, and there was no harm in the slightest, so he finally persuaded Su Jun.

So he feasted all night, and left the next morning - Wang Gong had to go south to Chenliu, bypassing the battlefield, before he could go to Luoyang from Yuyuan Pass. Soon after leaving the camp, he instructed one of his entourage: "You can return to General Shao, and you will not be dishonored."

As soon as Wang Gong went, Su Jun convened his generals to discuss the matter, and the generals asked for orders, saying that they were willing to supervise General Shao to attack Fangtou, and some people even said: "Why bother Shao, Duan, etc., the general and a certain 3,000 elite soldiers, I will sacrifice the general's benevolent head thief grain!" ”

Su Jun used to follow Xie Feng to kill Yiluo, and then to Guanzhong, he had seen a battle with Hu Jun and knew that Hu was very strong. Now most of the soldiers of Hu and Han are scattered, but at least forty percent have fallen into the hands of Shi Le, and this time Shi Le raised the army of the whole country to the south, it is rumored that there are 300,000 people, just look at the Yan County in front of the fortress, the garrison is very tight, and the intelligence of all aspects is very tight, he feels that his strength is still weak, if he shakes the army in front of him, it will lead to useless losses.

But most of his subordinate generals, such as Han Huang, **, Ma Xiong, Guan Shang, etc., are mostly from Qingzhou local tyrants - many of them are fellow villagers in Su Junye County - since they joined the army, they have not encountered any real hard ballast: the first battle against Cao Wei, and then the battle against Xu Gong, even if Liu Mian attacked Sheephorn City, it was also the Shao family army in front. Therefore the general heart is haughty and war-seeking.

Seeing this, Su Jun couldn't help but secretly think to himself: Morale is available. More importantly, all the generals have a will to fight, and if they don't give them an outlet, they will easily lose the hearts of the people if they don't fight for a long time. Only then did he make a decision, as promised to Wang Gong, and when the grain from Qingzhou arrived, I would send an elite to storm the enemy base in front of him.

Although he really wants to preserve his strength, but if the result of being conservative and not fighting is that the generals are separated from morality and the team falls apart, then it is better to fight the battlefield.

As for the important task of guarding Shao Jiajun, he finally made Kuangshu clear. On the one hand, Kuang Shu has more brains than Han Huang and others, and he is not a brave person, and on the other hand, Kuang Xiao, the son of Kuang Shu, is in his own army, and he is not afraid that he will be co-opted by Shao Zhu and others. So he sent 700 soldiers and horses and 2,000 grains to Weicheng to discuss with Shao Zhu, Duan Wenyang, Liu Yao and others about the strategy of entering the army.

Besides, Li Ju was under the county seat of Zhou, and he could not overcome the strong attack, so he was forced to temporarily stop his pace and build siege equipment, in order to make a thunderous blow after he was prepared safely-but depending on the situation, it is not yet certain whether it will work.

Suddenly, his nephew Guo Yu asked to see him, and reported: "Guanzhong Da Sima sent Lu Fenwu to lead more than 10,000 people to stationed in Dongyuan"

When Li Ju heard this, he couldn't help but be furious: "Does Lu He dare to come to capture Qing's Dongyuan?!" ”

Guo Yu hurriedly explained, saying: "No, Lu Fenwu did not enter the city, and made people salute, saying that the war in Hanoi is urgent, and he is willing to protect the east wall for me. ”

When Li Ju heard this, he temporarily calmed his anger, and then took care of Guo Yu: "But the reply refuses his kindness, saying that Dongyuan is not in the enemy's territory, and although Qing leaves temporarily, there is no need to protect him." Ask him to return to Anyi. ”

Guo Yu asked: "Its intention is to come to the east to help, and my uncle cares?" ”

Li Juyi waved his hand: "No need." ”

Guo Yu persuaded him: "The battle of Hanoi is the winner of the overall situation, and my grandfather has repeatedly urged my uncle. However, although our army is numerous, the enemy city is stricter, it is really not something that can be captured overnight, once it is delayed for a long time, I am afraid that Zugong will be a strong enemy in Xingyang, and it will be difficult to support. Since Lu Fenwu has such good intentions, why don't you invite him to come east? If the Guanzhong army is elite, and Lu Fenwu is also a national general, if he can go to the battlefield, or assist the prefectures and counties, or take the opportunity to fight Shanyang and Huai counties, then the chances of our army's victory will increase by more than fifty percent. The nephew is ignorant, I don't know why my uncle doesn't allow it? ”

Li Ju stared at Guo Yu for a long time, then sighed softly, then waved his hand, retreated from everyone, and the two uncles and nephews had a secret talk. He said: "After all, I am young, I don't know the general trend of the world, but I am a close relative, so I teach each other - today's words, out of my mouth, into the ears of Qing, be careful not to spread it." ”

Guo Yu nodded hurriedly and arched his hand: "Listen to my uncle's teachings." ”

Li Shihui first asked: "Go to Suiluo to spread proverbs such as 'easy car driving' and 'Qin Dangxiong', do you still remember?" ”

Guo Yu couldn't help but look shocked, and immediately asked: "Could it be that my uncle wants to say that Da Sima has usurped and has different ambitions?" That's just a thief spreading rumors to divide my Jin monarch and ministers, and mess with our minds, how can my uncle take it seriously? ”

The corners of Li Ju's mouth twitched: "It's because Yunqing is young and doesn't know the general trend of the world." For example, although it is big today, the big Sima has three points and one of them, it is in the Guanzhong, ordering officials, changing the system, training strong soldiers, collecting people's hearts, and first destroying the thieves, retaking Taiyuan, since the rise of the country, Wu Gongsheng, the prestige of the long, no more than the big Sima. If he has a heart, how can Jin Zuo be saved? That is, he has no intention, the times are here, will the officials not have the intention of overturning the society and being a hero of the founding of the country? ”

Guo Yu frowned and was silent.

In order to let his nephew understand the severity of the situation, Li Ju simply said in his heart: "The world is in turmoil, all because of the feudal clans of the Heavenly Family, the prestige of the Sima clan, it is no longer the time of Emperor Wu, even if it is filial piety and Hui Dynasty, I am afraid it is not as good as βˆͺ if the ancestor has the hope of the world, don't I want to take the opportunity to seek a descendant to succeed forever?" ”

When Guo Yu heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head, looked directly at Li Ju, his mouth opened, but he couldn't speak, and he couldn't close it for the time being.

Li Ju patted his nephew's shoulder and asked him to quickly stabilize his emotions, and then said: "This is just an example, there is no need to be frightened." However, if you want Qing to know the general trend of the world, it is not humanly to turn around, what will happen to Da Sima, not to look at his heart, but to see his potential. ”

After a pause, he said: "Therefore, if I can break through the defense alone, break into Jijun, and make my ancestor defeat Shile and throw into the north, I can revert to the two strong forces with Da Sima, and from then on, I can establish a court together, and I can ensure that Jin Zuo can continueβˆͺ if I use the power of Da Sima, then Zu Gong's merits will inevitably be incomplete, and I will not be able to fight against Da Sima in another day, then I am afraid that the Guanzhong officials will get what they want." ”

That's why I didn't let Lu He come over to help, now you understand, right?

Guo Yu's heart turned upside down, and he said goodbye in a trance, but he just shook at the door, and before Li Juzhao returned to the attendant, he came back again, and arched his hand: "Uncle's words of aptitude, foolish nephew, still puzzled"

Li Ju said if there is anything you don't understand, sit down, just ask.

Guo Yu organized the language for a while, and then stammered: "As my uncle said, if the Guanzhong army goes eastward and helps the Chinese army to defeat the thieves, then the grandfather's exploits cannot be complete, and after the war, he will inevitably fall and cannot resist the great Sima."

Li Ju said yes, that's what I meant, so what?

Guo recited: "Uncle Yiyun, the change of the situation, do not look at the heart of the big Sima, but look at its momentum, its momentum is complete, the generals of Guanzhong must instigate the big Sima Dong to seize power, and the big Sima and the big Sima are most likely not able to disobey the public opinion." ”

Li Ju bowed, then stared at Guo Yu's expression, waiting for his nephew to ask.

Guo Yu thought about it for a while, and said: "In this case, the war in Xingyang is urgent, why does the Guanzhong army refuse to come out?" Shi Leju poured the country's troops to come, Leping, Shangdang, will be strong, then Taiyuan has no police, and the main force of the Guanzhong army is indeed still in Chang'anβˆͺ if the army enters Luo, control the situation, then Xingyang and even my Hanoi's grain and straw, all in their hands, the big Sima wants me to win, we can win, I want to lose, we will lose. This situation is a success, and it is naturally easy to drive, not only me, even if it is my grandfather, I am afraid that I can only surrender my ministers, right? ! ”

Li Shihui listened to the question and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Guo Yu then said: "However, Da Sima stopped Lu Fenwu from going east and temporarily stationed in Dongyuan, and wrote to the foolish nephew, asking the foolish nephew to ask his uncle for his life and summon him to the east to help." As a result, the war situation in Hanoi is in my hands, even if Lu Fenwu is in charge, how much credit can be shared? And if Da Sima leads the army out in person, he doesn't need to ask his uncle, he can go straight to Hanoi, does his uncle dare not meet him and obey the order? The Guanzhong army can break through the fortress in front, advance into Jijun, and even to Xiangguo, at that time, what is the merit of the grandfather?

"Take a step back and say, if Da Sima doesn't come, and my uncle doesn't allow Lu Fenwu to come, I don't know Qianrong County, what are the chances of winning? Once the troops were under the fortified city and could not advance for a long time, resulting in Xingyang not defending, Zugong being defeated, and the thieves entering Yiluo, the imperial court would summon the Guanzhong army to rescue. Da Sima can collect the embers of the Chinese army, in order to take advantage of the fatigue of the thieves, after the victory, Da Sima's prestige will be even greater, and the grandfather is afraid that there will be no day to turn over!

"The general of the ancestral state, make a contract with the great Sima Su, or just suppress it; And what about the uncle? Grandpa will hate his uncle for not being able to open up the situation in Hanoi, and Da Sima is even more likely to blame his uncle for a felony and punish him for a felony^Nephew Cheng is afraid of his uncle's head, and he can't protect it! ”

Li Ju originally listened to Guo Yu's words, his buttocks were slightly raised, and his body leaned forward slightly, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but lean back and sit on the ground. Then he stroked his forehead with his hand and said: "What the syllable says is not unreasonable"

Guo Yu took the opportunity to lower his voice and said, "I don't know who my uncle stopped Lu Fenwu to come to help?" If the previous remarks were not jokes, then what about Sima, why should he care? If it is for the sake of the ancestors, then we should pay attention to the frontal enemy, and if we have to fight the state and county, then we have to be supported by the Guanzhong army, why not? If for the sake of his uncle and national affairs, he has his own grandfather and Da Sima to raise money, and we and other martial artists can only fight, so we don't have to worry too much.

"But who doesn't want to fight? Naturally, your net worth can be guaranteed. If you meddle in political affairs, anti-terrorism will affect you - I hope my uncle will think twice! ”

Li Ju couldn't help but sigh and said: "I originally thought that Qing was my son, but I expected Qing to look at the world, and I was more transparent than me, and my grandfather and I had great kindness, so naturally we can't contradict each other, and I can't make my grandfather lose because of me." Qing Yan is also, but from the order of my grandfather, I can break through the current enemy, and what will happen in the future is not for our warriors to put their beaks"

Then he slapped his thigh and said, "That's it, that's it, and it's important to break the enemy." In the future, if my grandfather is also subordinate to Da Sima, I will obey my orders; If my grandfather and Da Sima have a conflict, I will fight to the death, but I don't have to regret today's request for help. ”

So he summoned the secretary and ordered him to write a letter and send it to Dongyuan as soon as possible, asking Lu He's family to lead the army to come and join the battlefield in Hanoi.

At this time, Juan County has been defending for nearly two months, since Wang Yang and other Hanoi troops went south, and after Lu Ming met, it was even more Rixia attack, piling up earth mountains, building cloud ladders, arrows raining down, so that the Jin army in the city could not raise their heads.

In order to save Juan County, Zu Ti sent troops out of Xingyang many times, wanting to pass through Aocang and Licheng to attack Huting, but they were blocked by the soldiers, but the soldiers and horses were damaged in vain.

At the beginning of December, Juan County was finally broken by the Qiang army, and Wei Ce led more than 500 remnants of the army to rush out desperately and fled without a trace. Immediately, Wang Yang, Lu Ming and other columns slaughtered the city, and after resting for three days, they came in the direction of Xingyang.

Zhang Jing planned for Shile to make the Hanoi army march west along the Yellow River and stationed near Aocang, and then took Chenggao Pass and personally led the troops out of the city to rescue, and launched a fierce battle between Aocang and Chenggao with the superior forces of the Qian's army. This journey lasted from noon to dusk, and the Zhao army was defeated and retreated to Ao Cang in a hurry. But the Jin army was only a miserable victory, and the casualties were not less than those of the soldiers, especially on the battle array, suddenly a stream of arrows flew in, and the ancestor was in the left arm, and the ancestor returned to Xingyang with injuries.

Three days later, Shi Le changed to a new force, and then took Cheng Gao Β°C arrow sores attack, unable to lead the army, but sent Zhang Ping's troops to intercept it. Wang Yang personally led the main force to launch a rapid assault, and when the fierce battle moved, he forced Zhang Ping to retreat, while Lu Ming forcibly crossed the river and attacked the Jin base under the pass. The battle lasted until dusk, the Jin general Tong Jian was besieged, and he was forced to surrender, and another Jin general, Feng Chong, led the remnants of the army to retreat to the pass.

When Shi Le heard the news, he led the main force to force Xingyang City the next day, and attacked to contain the Jin army from reinforcing Chenggao, and at the same time sent an order to Wang Yang and Lu Ming: "In three days, it is necessary to trap Chenggao Pass and break into Yiluo!" ”

The urgent report reached Luoyang, and the government and the opposition immediately blew up the pot, and Yin Qiao took the opportunity to propose that he could urgently ask Da Sima to lead the Guanzhong army to come to help defend the capital. In this regard, Xun Di, Zu Na and others were naturally unhappy, although they tried every possible way to make a decision, it seemed that they had to make a decision, but they still procrastinated, and they couldn't make a decision for two days.

They just hurriedly ordered the garrisons of nearby counties to gather in Gong County to prevent blockade. Yin Qiao said: "The counties of Henan are far and near, even if they gather, there are only four or five thousand soldiers, and how much combat power can the garrison army have?" How can Gong County be defended? Xun Di simply proposed: "Yin Shangshu knows the soldiers, why don't you go out and go to the army of Jiangong County?" ”

This Yin Qiao is so annoying, I'm still hesitating, why are you urging endlessly, just drive Yin Qiao out. At the same time, he hurriedly made a book, and ordered Pei Caifa to send the Chinese army to the east and temporarily settle Shaanxi County in case of emergency, and also ordered Zu Lian, who was in Hanoi, to hurry back to the division and defend the capital. Xun Dixin said that if there is Zu Lian and Pei Pi, the two departments will merge with more than 10,000 people, and they can hold Luoyang for a period of time, waiting for the situation to change, right? It's really not possible to summon Pei Gai again, maybe it's too late
