Pei Shu was ordered to go east, disguised himself, mixed in the convoy of Chang'an to pay tribute and gifts to Luoyang, secretly entered Luoyang City, and temporarily lived in Yin Qiao Mansion.

He and Yin Qiao discussed the current situation in detail, Yin Qiao said: "Ancestor Gong in Xingyang to stop the thief's momentum, before and after a month, although the loss of Li, Longzhubao and Aocang, but make it difficult for Shile to advance, in a certain opinion, the thief has been the end of the crossbow, not to be troubled. But then he frowned slightly, and said: "It's just that in recent days, the DPRK and China have often attacked the ancestors, and Yun Qi can't enter the captivity, so he can only sit and guard, so that hundreds of thousands of thieves can't go around, and I am afraid that I will threaten Luoyang ......."

When Pei Xu heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and said, "It seems that Lian Po is in Changping......"

When Lian Po resisted Wang Yu in Changping, from April to July, its base was repeatedly broken, it was a strong wall without fighting, King Zhao asked him to send troops several times, Lian Po should not, so Zhao Wang believed in Qin's words, recalled Lian Po, and easy to Zhao Kuo, so there was the defeat of Changping. So, if he doesn't quit Lian Po, will he be able to win that battle? Except for a very small number of articles claiming to restore the "truth" of history, most of them believed that even if Lian Po did not win, he would never be defeated.

Because for three months, the two armies have always faced each other in the Changping area, although the camp of the Zhao army has been broken through by Wang Di many times, but it is obvious that the retreat is not far away, and the main force has not been lost, and it can still hold on to the new base, so that the king of Qin is forced to make a counter-plan. Judging from King Zhao's many orders to Lian Po to fight, even if the Zhao army is slightly weaker than the Qin division, the difference between the quality and number of troops on both sides will not be too much, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, once the Qin army's advance is frustrated, morale will inevitably decline, and it is quite difficult to break through Lian Po's strong base.

Otherwise, Fan Ju would not have conspired to make Zhao Yijiang, with the main purpose of Zhao Kuo Yi Lianpo, that is, to fancy the young and young people with arrogant temperament and shallow experience, they will follow the orders of King Zhao and fight from the base......

Pei Xu didn't know much about fighting, but because of Pei Gai's influence, he naturally trusted Zu Ti militarily, and Yin Qiao also agreed with Zu Ti's strategy, so he felt that the current battle situation in Xingyang was similar to the battle of Qin and Zhao Changping. So in this eye, the most worrying thing is that the court will change generals, or force Zu Ti to fight.

Yin Qiao said: "The thief penetrates deep into my realm, and its momentum is not the same as the battle of Changping...... "At that time, the Qin people had already won Hanoi, and they used it as a base for advancing and attacking Shangdang, and the distance was not far away. But now Shi Le did not come steadily from Ji County, but first took the second time, re-passed through Yanbei, the road was far away, the soldiers had already fought several battles, and the situation was much worse than the Qin army back then-

"That's why I expect that in January and February, the thief will be depressed, and when he will retreat, his grandfather will be able to fight with all his might, and he can plan to destroy ......it in one fell swoop" There is also a difference, that is, the Zhao capital Handan is not close to Changping, and there is a Taihang dangerous barrier, and now Xingyang is only far from Luoyang-" It's just the time to send troops, only the ancestor is self-decided, and the court must not urge. ”

Yin Qiao was worried that Pei Xu's secret coming this time also wanted to be like the Liang family and plan to make trouble, so he closely analyzed the battle situation, and said that if the imperial court changed generals, or forced Zu Ti to send troops, the situation in Luozhong would become extremely dangerous.

Pei Xuan heard the song and knew the meaning of elegance, and immediately smiled and said: "Don't worry, if we restrain our ancestors, make them defeated, and cause the society to fall into danger, how can this be what Sima is happy to see?" I dare not disobey the orders of the Great Sima. ”

In fact, Pei Xue is more worried about what he is more worried about, once he plays some tricks in it, resulting in the defeat of Zu Li's army, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not leak the Xingzang, and even if Pei Cai is happy in his heart, he will definitely push his cousin out to stop the slander - definitely not what I ordered Pei Shu to do! Pei Ziyu naturally hoped that Pei should return to Luo and go further, but he really didn't plan to make sacrifices for this - besides, there was a possibility that it would be left behind for 10,000 years......

Since he made a statement, Yin Qiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "That's right." Da Sima Shun responds to the people, and is determined to expel Hu Qian to pacify China, how can he do such a trick? It will turn the hearts of men apart, but the gain will outweigh the loss. ”

After a pause, he said: "Although Luozhong has different words, the court is still hesitant. One is with the authority of the grandfather, who can persecute it? The so-called "generals are outside, and the king's order is not subject to it", even Lian Po can repeatedly refuse King Zhao's order to go to war, not to mention the ancestor who actually holds the authority of the Chinese army and still has the title of "Lu Shang Shushi"?

"The second is to change the general, today's Luoyang, but even Zhao Kuo has no ......" Not to mention the famous generals, even the second ancestor of the famous generals, it is difficult to find one in Luoyang City now, so who else can replace Zu Ti?" If there is such a candidate in Xun's pocket, he has slipped out long before the army, so why should he order Xu Liu?

Yin Qiao said that because of this, it was just some middle and low-level officials who were fanning the flames and playing the Shangshu, and most of them tried to dismiss it; And even if I don't refute it, Xun Di and they don't dare to make a sudden decision; Even if Xun Di agrees, it is estimated that his subordinates will have to refuse. So nothing will happen for the time being, it's just-"Behind them, no one cares?" Could it be that the thief wants to make the plan unsuccessful? ”

Talking and looking at Pei Xu, that means: It won't be instigated by you behind your back, right?

Pei Shu replied: "This matter must not be ignored, you should make a secret visit to it to understand the situation." "That means, I definitely didn't do it, you can send someone to investigate, I'm not afraid.

Pei Xu came to Luoyang to deal with errands purely to deal with, he planned to collect information on the front line and Luoyang City in many ways, and then wait for Wang Gong to come from the east, and then hand it over to Wang Gong in one go-let him go to the dirty water, I must not touch it. Of course, if the situation changes greatly and there is a good opportunity, Pei Ziyu will never let it go, but in his opinion, within a few months, it is unlikely that something will happen.

Immediately, Pei Xu secretly met with some people in Yin Qiao's mansion, all of whom were his pawns in Luoyang - Pei Shu and Wang Gong, who were in charge of intelligence work in the East and the West, but their terms of reference overlapped, and there was no clear dividing line, so for the capital Luoyang, both of them had their own arrangements, and they did not communicate with each other.

One of the people that Pei Shu secretly summoned was that Shangshu Ling Shi Sun Zhen and Sun Shigui.

Sun Zhen told Pei Xu, led by Zhang Yi, there is a group of small officials secretly in tandem, in the name of supporting Da Sima, as if they want to make waves in Luozhong, and now I have broken into them. However, the specific situation is still unknown, and it is not clear whether they are the spies of the thieves or the private ...... given by the prince

Pei Xue asked: "I heard that there have been people who have criticized the use of troops by the ancestors recently, did they not do it?" ”

Sun Zhen replied: "Zhang Yi is quite vigilant, don't let me know too much, I don't have a clue about this matter yet...... Or it was done by the Xun family, and it is not known. Zhang Yiwei colluded with the subordinates of various departments, incited resentment, and was only perfunctory in official affairs, and refused to do things sincerely. After a pause, he explained: "The Xun family and others are arrogant, relying on their family and wealth, bullying and oppressing small officials, and they are accustomed to talking and cannot work hard, even if there is no Zhang Yi inciting, China and North Korea will be in this situation sooner or later."

"In Shangshu Province, fortunately, there is Yin Shangshu in the middle of the dispatch, otherwise, I am afraid that there will be a gap in the grain and materials of Xingyang in the east, and it may not be able to supply smoothly......"

Pei Xu tapped the table with his knuckles, and secretly said: That is to say, if there is no Yin Qiao, maybe the affairs of the center will be suspended, and even if we don't pull the hind legs, Zu Qi will probably be defeated...... That's great, I don't have to take the blame. After thinking about it again, it's not right, that is, there is no Yin Qiao, and Bian Yan, maybe his illness will be cured in two days......

So he took care of Sun Zhen and said that you continue to lurk, pretending to be of the same mind as Zhang Yi, but you must be cautious, don't be used as a gun by others, if they have any special movements, you must report them in time. Sun Zhen only left.

Soon after Sun Zhen went, Yin Qiao returned from Shangshu Province and informed Pei Xuan of an unexpected news: "Zu Qianjun led his troops out of the city!" ”

When Pei Shu heard this, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that the war in Xingyang is unfavorable?" "The former army general Zu Lian was ordered to stay in Luoyang, and theoretically he couldn't move lightly - as soon as he left, there were only five incomplete and poorly trained five schools and a small number of garrisons left in Luoyang City - unless Xingyang was really tight and urgently needed reinforcements, why did Zu Lian lead his troops out of the city?

Yin Qiao shook his head and said: "The ancestral army is going, not to the east, but to ......the north."

——————————

Naturally, Zu Lian did not go to reinforce Xingyang, but crossed the Yellow River north to reinforce Hanoi, so as to help Li Ju break through the defense line of the Qianjun army as soon as possible and recover the entire Hanoi County. As long as Zhao's defense line in Hanoi is broken, Li Judong can threaten Jijun, and the north can threaten Shangdang.

This can be said to be the last gamble between Zu and Shi, depending on whether Shi Le will use his absolute superiority to defeat Zu Li first, or Li Ju will recover Hanoi first. Although in Zu Ti's opinion, I have basically grasped the initiative in the battle, even if Xingyang is lost in the end, I can retreat to Chenggao, and then block Shile until the enemy runs out of food and retreats, and Li Ju's chances of victory in Hanoi are also quite large; But after all, there is no reason to win, what if unfortunately Li Ju falls off the chain and cannot open the situation for a long time, and I am severely defeated by the strong force of Zhao Zhao who came from Hanoi, what should I do?

Therefore, it was decided to mobilize Zu Lian's remaining troops and horses to go north to reinforce Li Ju and add another weight to the war situation in Hanoi.

Of course, even if there is no police in Luoyang, it is impossible to completely empty it, and once it is empty, it will cause a commotion in the people's hearts and be unfavorable to the front-line war situation. And Zu Shizhi is a minister after all, he can not take the Xun family seriously at all, but he can't ignore Sima Ye's thoughts. Of course, the Son of Heaven only hangs the arch, but if you really take out all the soldiers around him, the young man is afraid, and the royal pen strictly orders him to return to the army to escort him, this will is not easy to carry.

In the feudal era, the monarch's power was supreme, although the emperor's intentions were to be constrained by the power and the hundred bureaucrats, but if the emperor was really forced to be anxious, he did not consider the disobedience of the people, the loss of authority, or even the loss of the throne, and directly flipped the table, which was quite enough for the courtiers to drink a pot.

Therefore, Zu Ti also ordered Pei Pi, the general of the right guard who was stationed in Henan, to ask him to wave his army into Luo to help defend it. Pei Pi was originally a chess piece that Pei Gai arranged in the vicinity of Luoyang in order to respond to unexpected changes, and theoretically only listened to Pei Gai's dispatch; But Pei Gai had already promised Zu Li, saying that as a last resort, Pei Pi could obey Zujun's order. After all, the heavy responsibility of the defense of the Yiluo region is on the shoulders of Zu Ti, it is impossible to leave a soldier and horse empty, even Zu Ti can't move it, the waste is small, and in case of danger, if you ask Chang'an for your life, it will inevitably be delayed. Pei should have promised this matter out of absolute trust in Zu Ti.

Therefore, Zu Lian left before noon, and the government and the opposition had not yet been able to fully react, and at dusk, Pei Pi led the soldiers into the city, so he went up and down.

When Pei Xu heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "The reason why this day is a big Sima Ye!" Immediately secretly galloped into the army and went to discuss with Pei Pi.

Pei Xu's meaning was that he wanted Pei Pi to take the opportunity to take control of Luoyang's defense, and he could find an excuse to launch a coup d'état at any time to welcome the great Sima Huiluo. Of course, the ancestral army is close at hand, but Da Sima is thousands of miles away, and he must not act hastily at this time, otherwise it will not only be difficult to achieve the plan, but also easily lead to the defeat of the front line, and the situation will be blazing. You have to wait for Shi Le to retreat, and Zu Ti to chase after him, catch up far, and then he can respond to the opportunity.

The second Pei army had a secret discussion, and almost at the same time, Xun Di and Zu Na jointly visited the Taiwei Xun group, and they also rejected private conversations.

Xun Taizhang of the Xun group is over sixty years old, dying of old age, physically weak, and mentally exhausted, so although he hangs the title of "Lu Shang Shushi" and nominally governs the government, he often refuses to go to the provincial office because he is sick, and puts all the burden on the shoulders of his nephew Xun Di. He once lamented that Brother Xun Di was not experienced enough in politics, and he always acted negligently, otherwise, I could also tell the old man like Liang Fen and go to retire. Now that the situation is turbulent, if you are not careful, even the clouds may fall into the dust, so I will spur the old bones and support your brothers for a few more years......

Therefore, although the burden on his shoulders is gradually removed, he is destined to come and discuss with me whenever there is a major event or if it is difficult to decide.

Xun Daoxuan came together with Zu Shiyan because of this and asked his uncle for advice. He first stated today's changes, and Zu Na immediately said: "Giving up my brother but planning military affairs, he has always been unfamiliar with political affairs, so he summoned Pei Shenggong to Beijing...... paused, lowered his voice and said: "This move is tantamount to opening the door and stealing!" I also hope that the captain will help and plan a countermeasure. ”

Xun Group looked at Xun Di first, and the uncle and nephew exchanged silently with their eyes, and then he moved his gaze to Zuna, and asked slowly: "Why did Shi Shao say this?" Pei Shenggong is also a general of the Chinese army, so he guards Dugi, what's wrong? ”

Zuna was speechless for a while, and couldn't help but squint. Xun Daoxuan said: "Uncle, the responsibility of guarding the capital has always belonged to my grandfather, and the only dilapidated five schools in my family may still be able to be transferred." And now the ancestral soldiers and horses are coming out of Beijing, but Pei Shenggong is summoned, which reminds the foolish nephew of a story......"

"What's going on in your mind?"

"In the Later Han Dynasty, the He clan was in charge of the army, and the Yuan clan was the leader of the scholars, but with concerted efforts, it was enough to set the outline of the dynasty and settle the society. It's a pity that He Suigao was not confident, but he called foreign soldiers into Beijing, and then there was Dong Zhuo's rebellion......"

Xun Group raised his eyebrows and scolded: "Silence! Do you take Xun Shenggong as Dong Zhuohu? Or take someone Dong Zhuohu?! ”
