Liu Yao was annoyed and hated Hu Yanshi, and he didn't accept it, but he was blocked by the ministers, and Prime Minister Liu Jing also said: "Liu Cang is dead, and there is no one to compete with Jinshang and King Yong." At this time, it is just time to pardon and obey the rebellion and clean up the hearts of the people, since Hu Yanshi has returned, not only can he not be refused to be outside the city, but he will be rewarded for his contribution to escorting the first emperor Zi Palace. King Yong must not lose the heart of his old ministers because of his past grievances. ”

Liu Yao was not stupid, he was just resentful for a while, and when he heard that he was respectfully taught, he escorted Liu Heng and went out of the city with hundreds of officials to welcome Liu Cong's coffin. and took Hu Yanshi's hand, soothed him with kind words, promised a heavy reward, and immediately ordered him to write a letter to recruit Wang Teng.

Liu Cong's coffin is about to be welcomed into the city, and he is not in a hurry to be buried - according to the etiquette law, at least the spirit must be suspended for seven days, a grand funeral will be held, and the ministers will hang their hearts before they can be buried in the ground, and Liu Cong's death has not been held for less than seven days, and no funeral has been held. Besides, although Liu Cong began to build his own mausoleum early, in recent years, there has been a shortage of domestic materials, and there have been frequent wars in recent times, and the project has been completely halted long ago......

I had to find a good coffin in the city, redecorate it, and first remove Liu Cong's body from the thin coffin that was improvised and made. Just in the summer season, when the previous placement was very sloppy, causing the thin coffin to be split, a stench gushed out - it is estimated that it has begun to rot...... I had to take a large number of spices and fill them in the coffin to delay time.

But before the mourning hall was erected, an urgent report came from Linfen, saying that Zhen Sui led the Jin army to seize Wenxi County, and it seemed that there was a rush to attack Pingyang - this news was naturally sent by Qiao Tai before he went to bed that night, and then he slept until midnight, that is, he was surrounded by Jin soldiers......

For several days, all kinds of news kept coming, sometimes good, sometimes bad, Hu Hanjunchen's nerves were about to burst, and it was a fluke that he didn't go crazy on the spot. Liu Yao played Liu Heng, saying Your Majesty, don't worry, the Jin people are coming from afar, and the number of them will not be very much, I will collect Liu Cang's defeated army today, there are still fifty or sixty thousand people available, and I believe that the city defense of Pingyang is solid, and the Jin people will inevitably return.

But when he retreated to discuss with his cronies, the big guys all said that Zhen was close to Hedong, so he came very quickly, but if he couldn't defeat it under the city, he was afraid that Luoyang and Chang'an would send troops to join him, and Pingyang might not be easy to defend at that time.

It's just that Zhen is notorious, and he can't find out how many soldiers and generals he has under his command, and whether he can really defeat them in a battle, no one dares to guarantee the ticket.

In desperation, he had to send someone north for the third time, and then go to Shi Hu to ask for reinforcements.

——————————

Besides, Shi Hu was in Jinyang, and first received an urgent report from Wang Xiu, saying that Liu Yao was plotting rebellion and was fighting with the Son of Heaven in Pingyang City, and the outcome was currently unknown. Shi Hu couldn't help pouting and said, "Such a monarch and minister, seeking his own death, why should King Zhao still respect him?" ”

He felt that there was an opportunity, so he planned to personally lead his troops south to get involved in the Pingyang Rebellion. Xu Guang, who joined the army, opened his mouth and asked: "The general is going, I don't know if he is helping the Son of Heaven or helping King Yong?" ”

When Shi Hu heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and asked rhetorically: "What does Mr. mean by this?" ”

Xu Guangnai said: "Since King Yunyong is plotting rebellion, the general is a minister of the Emperor and Han, and he should send troops to help the Son of Heaven and crusade against King Yong, and there is no reason to rescue King Yong." However, if King Yong is defeated, the Son of Heaven is still the Son of Heaven, Pingyang is still surnamed Liu, and General Yu is just a reward for Jin Jue, what is the real benefit? And there is no call to fate, and it is really not appropriate to leave the defensive ground lightly.

"Why don't you watch on the wall for the time being, and you have to fight for the two Liu. If the Son of Heaven wins and King Yong is defeated, the crown prince will return, and he has a real disagreement with King Zhao, so he can take the opportunity to say that King Zhao is self-reliant. And if King Yong wins, how can he wear the Son of Heaven again? The heart of usurpation will be born, and the general can spread the banner of rebellion against the king of Qin and go south to capture Binh Duong. And if the emperor in Pingyang City is not today, what reason does King Zhao still have to bow down to King Yong or the puppet he set up? ”

All in all, this is a great opportunity to incite Shile to become emperor, and you must not waste it.

When Shi Hu heard this, he nodded again and again, and said, "What Mr. said is true, I did it." However, what if there is an edict in Pingyang City and orders me to save it? ”

Xu Guang said with a smile: "Let's see who issued the edict and how sincere it is (this is actually saying 'how the price is'), and it's not too late to make a difference." ”

Then two days later, Liu Hu led his troops to vote and reported the news of Liu Cong's death. Xu Guangnai said to Shi Hu: "Okay, the general can send troops south in a hurry." Shi Hu hesitated: "Although the Son of Heaven has collapsed, Liu Cang is still here, do I want to join forces with Liu Cang and attack Liu Yao?" I'd rather be infamous, and I will never be with Liu Cang! ”

Xu Guang shook his head and said: "The crown prince can succeed, only King Yong is the great enemy, and occupies Pingyang, if he is not destroyed urgently, he will have trouble." If the general can enter Pingyang first, then the crown prince will dare to return to the city? Give and take, all in general. ”

Shi Hu said yes, so he immediately gathered the generals and counted the soldiers and horses.

As Pei Wei expected, Shi Hu really can't bring too many soldiers and horses at present, the main reason is that most of the Jin people in Taiyuan miss Liu Kun - although when Liu Kun was there, they dragged their feet and may not be willing to respond to orders - and were hostile to the Qian army; In particular, most of the cities that Shihu passed through let go of the large-scale killing and plundering, and the people fled to the countryside and refused to defend the dock. Shi Hu dispatched generals to attack the dock fort everywhere, robbed the people and materials, and also had to prevent Tuoba Xianbei from going south, and the mobile forces that could really be used outside were really insufficient.

Previously, at the invitation of Liu Cang, he went south to guard Cai Sangjin, he only dispatched more than 10,000 people, after a few months, the soldiers and horses are flourishing, but the grain and grass are more cramped, so in the end only 15,000 elite soldiers were selected, and they planned to go to Zhongyang to meet Chao Zan's department and merge into 20,000 people.

However, Shi Hu is still very confident in the combat effectiveness of his army, and he is confident that as long as Liu Yao and Liu Cang are unwilling to join forces to resist the enemy, which one alone, the army of forty or fifty thousand is not a problem, and I can easily defeat it.

But he didn't expect that before the preparations for sending troops were completed, an angel came from Pingyang to inform Liu Heng of his ascension to the throne, and rewarded Shi Hu, asking him to go south to aid Liu Yao and fight Liu Cang. Shi Hunai asked Xu Guang: "Liu Yao sent someone first, what should I do?" Xu Guang said with a smile: "He is close and the crown prince is far away, so naturally he will come first, so it is not strange." I believe that the envoy of the crown prince will arrive soon. The general can feign it, or he can easily open Pingyang City and capture King Yong in one fell swoop. ”

Sure enough, Shi Hu ordered his troops out of the city, and before he could stay overnight, he received an envoy from Liu Cang, informing him that Liu Cang had already practiced Zuo, and issued an edict to the soldiers and horses of all parts of the country to defeat the rebellious Liu Yao and Liu Heng. Shi Hu happily agreed, and then another day, and received a messenger from Liu Yao's side, saying that Liu Cang had already hung up, and you don't have to go south to Shangdang County, please return to Jinyang.

Shi Hu was furious and said: "Fang ordered to go out of the teacher, but he stopped me, what is the reason? The order of the court changes overnight, where does the prestige of the court exist? I will lead these 20,000 people to Pingyang to meet the new monarch and go to the funeral of the first emperor. ”

Don't step on it at all, that is, enter Zhongyang and meet Chao Zan.

I am discussing with my subordinates, should we attack Pingyang under the banner of rebellion, or should we continue to pretend to serve Liu Heng and take the opportunity to open the gate of Pingyang? Xu Guangdao: "Since Liu Cang is dead, there is no great enemy outside, then the general will lead the elite troops to the south, how can King Yong open the city and accept it?" It is better to temporarily garrison the army in Zhongyang, and urgently send an envoy to ask King Zhao to take the throne, so that he can attack it justifiably. ”

Shi Hu shook his head and said: "Uncle is far away in Xiangguo, and the mission is exchanged, I don't know how much time it will take." I don't believe that Liu Yao can win people's hearts in a few months, which is enough to fight me, but I am afraid that the Jin people will see it in Hedong, if they take advantage of the weakness and Pingyang will fall into the hands of the Jin people, then I will regret it. Or pretend to be ordered first, continue to go south, and wait until Pingyang City to watch Liu Yao's movements again, so as to decide the advance and retreat. ”

After a short rest for two days, he left Zhongyang and continued southward, and then received a third call from Liu Yao......

Shi Hu laughed first: "Liu Yao's actions are abnormal, and he will die in a day. Then he frowned and said, "The Jin people came quickly. I often hear that Zhen Sui is the first brave general of the Jin Kingdom, unfortunately I failed to meet, I am now under the city of Pingyang, a big setback, if you can capture or kill Zhen Sui, then the Jin people are afraid, and the world can be owned by Uncle! ”

But after all, he didn't run as fast as Zhen Sui, the army here had not yet left the boundary of Xihe County, and Zhen Sui had already arrived at Pingyang City. Zhen Sui is also a ghost, knowing that he does not have many soldiers, he deliberately puts up more banners, and selects the most elite soldiers and horses to be listed in the first row, and personally leaps on the horse and raises the spear to see the state of the city defense.

The Hu people were clearly prepared, the city gate was closed, and many soldiers went to the city to protect it, just the southern city of the Jin army, and there were no less than 3,000 people to look at.

Zhen Sui secretly screamed bitterly - this city is not easy to attack.

I can't help but secretly hate Jin Zhun, and my heart said What kind of chaos did you rebel against, what kind of master did you kill? If Liu Cang and Liu Yao were to fight first, and even knock the Pingyang city wall to a thousand holes, then the lord would come to take the heads of the city and Er Liu, what a convenience - the Metropolitan Governor once told us a story about a bird and a mussel fighting, but was picked up by a fisherman hiding on the side, and all of them were caught and stewed home.

I really didn't kill that brother at all!

He was still depressed here, but the Hu people in the city were only more frightened and frightened, and urgently reported to Liu Yao, saying that the Jin people were coming, and there were no less than 10,000 of them. Liu Yue asked for an order to go out of the city and fight, but was stopped by Taiwanese, Yang Yi and others, saying that now the people in the city are undecided, and the sergeants are tired, so it is really better to hold on, not to fight.

In fact, Yang Yi was basically frightened, that is, he rubbed his hands again and again in front of Liu Yao, and said: "Zhen Sui has arrived, but the party has not arrived, how can this be good?" Liu Yue sneered: "Even if Shi Hu's generals come, whether they will fight against the Jin people or take the opportunity to attack and capture Pingyang, I'm afraid it is still unknown." ”

As long as we are given a few months, with the wealth and dense population of Pingyang County, the Hu people have repeatedly captured the Jin people from Henan, Hanoi and other places to enrich the heart of Pingyang, which can be regrouped, but now it is ......

"You should also plan a good strategy, first retreat from the Jin people, and then resist the army."

Liu Yao said that I also hope so, but where does the plan come from?

Yang Yi boldly suggested: "In the past, Goujian had the shame of Huiji, and Henkel had the defeat of Pingcheng, so he was ashamed and endured, and he may not be a hero, and he will have a day of revival and ......."

Liu Yue said that you are all nonsense, with our current situation, what conditions can we come up with in exchange for Zhen Sui's retirement? Could it be that several counties around Pingyang, such as Xiangling, Yangxian, and Beiqu, were ceded to him? Isn't that even more powerful, and the Jin people can go to Pingyang City every day?

Yang Yi said tentatively: "Why don't you temporarily call yourself a minister to Jin and retire from Jin......"

Liu Jing kept twisting his beard with the next person and didn't speak—because he didn't have any good ideas—and said angrily when he heard this: "Uncle Rong, shut up! If you want to be a vassal to Jin, unless you surrender yourself to the prince, it is not only equivalent to abandoning the great cause of Emperor Guangwen and the first emperor, but also if you go to the emperor's title, it will be difficult to restrain the Shi uncle and nephew, wouldn't it be self-defeating? How can there be two emperors and ministers in the world?! ”

If Pei should be here, he will definitely pout when he hears this-Hu Nu is too rigid, who said that the emperor can't be a vassal to others? As everyone knows, there is a surname Shi in later generations, which is called infinite creativity......

was deliberating, and the city came to report again, saying that Zhen Sui shouted and scolded in front of the city wall, laughing at my emperor and Han no one, saying that either go out of the city and fight, or open the door to surrender, these tens of thousands of people closed the city and did not dare to come out, is it ......

"Zhen follows how he speaks, you will repeat it honestly, and you don't have to hide it."

Zhen Suidao: Could it be that all the men in the city are dead, and only a group of women are left? The woman is just right, and the old man is in very good health, so I can send a few of Liu Cong's concubines out first, and sleep for you and the others......"

Liu Yao couldn't help but sneer: "This barbarian will not dare to attack the city if he takes advantage of his tongue in vain. ”

- Zhen Sui said the wrong thing, what did he mention Liu Cong's concubine, if he mentioned Liu Yao's wife and daughter-in-law, it is estimated that the effect of the scolding war would be much better.

Taisan said: "Zhen Sui saw that our city was high and dense, and he was heavily guarded, so he didn't dare to attack rashly. But I'm afraid that he is only a front army, and Jin reinforcements will arrive one after another, especially if Pei should come from Chang'an, or Zu Ti from Luoyang, Pingyang City will be difficult to defend! ”

Liu Yao tried all kinds of plans to no avail, and finally had to send a fast horse to Xiangling, asking the right cavalry general Wang Teng to come to help.

Wang Teng had naturally received Hu Yanshi's letter a long time ago, and knew that Liu Cang was dead, so he couldn't help crying loudly. But after all, he is not like Qiao Tai, he has no intention of dying, so he has to express his stance and is willing to respect the new monarch Liu Heng. After receiving Liu Yao's order, Wang Teng did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly gathered the soldiers and horses in the city, about 3,000, and hurriedly crossed Fen to aid Pingyang.

As Pei Gai said, Zhen Sui sent the Tanma far away, so he had already been rewarded, and immediately turned to the shore of Fenshui to intercept Wang Teng. Liu Yue took the opportunity to open the city and fight back and forth, and Wang Teng attacked back and forth, Zhen Sui saw that he could not be defeated, and was forced to fight and retreat. After Wang Teng crossed the Fenshui, he led the army to chase after him, but Zhen Sui killed a horse pistol, that is, he stabbed Wang Teng in front of the battle, and his army was defeated. Seeing this, Liu Yue hurriedly came to the rescue and protected Wang Teng and fled back to Pingyang City.

In this battle, it took about half a day to fight, and the Hu army put more than 10,000 people into the battlefield, which was twice as many as the Jin army, but in the end it was still embarrassed. Wang Teng and Liu Yue reported to Liu Yao, saying that several problems can be seen from today's battle: first, the Jin army is less than 10,000; Second, Zhen Sui is not only brave, but also tends to avoid his advance and retreat, and his generals are also quite disciplined.

But the most important thing is the third point, twice as many soldiers and horses fought with the Jin people in the field, and they couldn't take advantage of it at all, and the final casualty count may be much more than that of the Jin people...... Wang Tengnai said: "Jin Kou came victorious, its spirit is very sharp, its momentum is unstoppable, even when our army is extremely prosperous, it is just a general resistance." Now he has been defeated repeatedly, and he has met the Son of Heaven and the Emperor...... When the first emperor died and Liu Cang was awarded the head, the morale of the army was shaken and the morale was depressed, even if the whole division came out, I am afraid it would not be Zhen Sui's opponent......"
