Chapter 40, Gonglai Mountain
Liu Yanben was sent by his uncle Liu Kun to enter and occupy Linzhang, but he was broken by Shi Le that day, and he was panicked and difficult to return to the west, so he could only temporarily run away and rely on Shao Xu. Although the two of them are under the banner of the Jin family, they belong to different camps, Liu Yan's backer Liu Kun and Shao Xu's backer Wang Jun have never been on good terms, so although Shao Sizu gladly accepted Liu Shiren and was willing to work with him in royal affairs, Liu Yan always had a pimple in his heart.
When Wang Jun was killed, Shile was strong, even if Leling was a county, there were many counties that surrendered to Shile, and Shao Xu could only stick to the two cities of Yici and Luowo, and its situation was precarious. Therefore, Shao Xu suggested crossing the Yellow River in the south and going to Qingzhou, Xuzhou without consideration. Liu Yan looked forward to Liu Kun's attack on Jizhou, so he echoed in disgust; If you retreat to Xuzhou, you will have no chance to return to your uncle, and you will never allow it.
In the end, the second general sent Xi Jian to Guanggu to investigate Cao Wei's movements. According to Shao Xu's thoughts, if Cao Wei's heart from Jin is very strong, then with him as a backing, even if he is besieged by Shi Le and loses his time, we are not nowhere to go, but can continue to stay in Hebei and wait and see how the situation develops; If Cao Wei has the intention of rebellion, then we have to leave quickly, otherwise we will be attacked by Shi and Cao Nanbei, where is the luck?
Liu Yan was unhappy to go south, but he also had to admit that Shao Xu's concerns were reasonable, in case Cao Wei rebelled, let alone survive and merged with the state, it is estimated that even the corpse will not be transported back to the capital Ah Xi Jun, please go on this journey for me.
However, after meeting Cao Wei, Xi Jian sent his subordinates to report to Liu and Shao on the one hand, and on the other hand, he continued to go south on his own initiative to contact Bian. Bian reminded him that if you want to cross south, you have to leave quickly, otherwise once Cao Wei returns to Hu and blocks the Yellow River crossing, you won't be able to come. Then he deliberately reiterated Pei Gai's hopes for Bian, saying: "Although General Liu rescued Xi Jun in the shackles, in the past few years, Xi Jun planned for him, and then went to Leling from Linzhang to Leling, and it was enough to repay him. If General Liu insisted on refusing to come south, it would harm Leling, Xu Fang, and harm the country, and the road of all living beings, so why would Xi Jun die with him? I will sweep the couch in Xuzhou and lead my neck to hope that Xi Jun will come......"
If you can persuade Liu Yan to go south with Shao Xu, otherwise, you should get rid of Liu Yan's stubborn guy, since you have the appreciation of General Pei, the future will definitely be great, so why burn the jade with Liu Yan?
Xi Jian arched his hand and said: "I thank General Pei and Bian Jun for their love, and entrust their wives and children together." But he didn't say anything, whether he was willing to abandon Liu Yan or not.
Immediately, Xi Daohui set off to return to the north, and Bian wrote a letter about the relevant situation and sent someone to Chang'an, urgently reporting to Pei to know; At the same time, he also sent people to contact Dongping Neishi Xu Niche, Puyang Neishi Huanxuan, and the new Taishan Taishou Zuji, and made an appointment to be each other's horns, to resist Shile, and to prevent Cao Wei.
Xi Jian stayed in Kaiyang, Langya County, for five days, comforting the people and arranging personnel to restore the ruling order. His newly appointed Langya State Minister is Zang Kun, a native of Gumu in Dongguan (later belonging to Dongyang County, Qingzhou), with a beautiful character.
Dongguan has two prominent surnames, one Xu and one Zang. Xu Jing's name is Chengzhi, once served as the governor of the state, and during the Yongjia Rebellion, he led his children with Zang Kun and Lu Li Shishu more than 1,000 families to the south, and lived in Jingkou. After Xi Jian assassinated Xuzhou, he inquired about the exiles in many ways, and finally found Xu Jing and Zang Kun, and invited the two to return to the north with their families and take them under the curtain. Previously, Xu Jing was appointed as the county guard of the East China Sea, and now Zang Kun has been appointed as the prime minister of Langya, and it is also an honor to be able to guard the neighboring county, if it is not for the troubled times, it is simply not extravagant.
Xu and Zang are both old officials, and Bian Wangzhi has high hopes that they can stabilize the situation between the two counties, appease the people, and resume production, but ...... Trying to let these two leaders defend against the enemy is pure unrealistic fantasy. Xuzhou has no generals to guard, it seems to be a behemoth, but it is actually quite weak, so Bian wrote to Chang'an this time, and told Pei Cai, you let a few people come back and help me defend the frontier, ......otherwise, "Pei Gong is abandoning Xu Ye!" ”
All the arrangements were set, and Bian went south to Huaiyin. Recently, he has also been considering whether to change the governance of Xuzhou Prefecture to Huaiyin, in order to facilitate the defense of Huaiyin, and at that time he was unable to extend the power to the counties of Huaibei; Now that he has set the East China Sea and Langya, and the next stop is Dongguan, the location of Huaiyin is too far south. Not to mention anything else, if Qiannu or Cao Wei really invaded Xu Fang in the south, I, as an assassin, am 108,000 miles away from the front line, will it cause ridicule?
Perhaps it would be more appropriate to move the state north to Lanling or Xiangben in Donghai County.
was thinking while walking, when suddenly someone outside the carriage reported: "Gong Xi went and returned, come to chase the envoy!" ”
When Bian Wenyan heard this, he was first happy: Xi Daohui finally figured it out, doesn't he plan to go back to tie up Liu Yan's accompaniment? But then the smile immediately retracted, because he figured out that with Xi Jian's style and character, even if he wanted to abandon Liu Yan, he would definitely go back to the envoy first, and explain his words. Now that only a few days after the breakup, Xi Jian has gone and returned, and he must not have been able to cross the Yellow River, so there is only one possibility
Qingzhou, I can't go!
hurriedly got out of the car to greet Xi Jian, and sure enough, Xi Jian informed Bian: "Cao Wei is betrayed, I have no way to return today, and I have no choice but to attach myself to Bian Jun." ”
Bian Yi is happy: I have Xi Jian to help me, govern Xu Fang, and save a lot of things; Then I was worried: I didn't expect Cao Wei to make a decision so quickly...... Langya and Donghai are just fine, Dongguan is likely to be policed!
Although he couldn't control Dongguan in the first place, he only used some people to reclaim and contact a few big dock forts to maintain his rule in name, but if Cao Wei's forces extended into Dongguan, it was likely to cut off the connection between him and Yanzhou. Hurriedly asked Xi Jian: "Is Xi Jun willing to be ordered to guard Dongguan?" ”
Xi Jian pondered for a long time and replied: "I wish to have a wife and children and guard Dongguan together." ”
Bian grabbed Xi Jian's hands: "Jun Xi, why do you have to be so ......?"
Xi Jian's wife and children are all in Huaiyin, which is equivalent to pinching Bian's hands, but it cannot be regarded as Bian's hostage, it can only be regarded as the difference between the carrots hanging in front of the donkey's eyes, hostages, you are easy not to go back, but if the donkey insists on refusing to go, the owner has to reward it with the carrot, and it can't be let starve to death.
Therefore, if Xi Jian insists on taking his wife and children, Bian is unstoppable, maybe he changes Pei Gai, and his attitude will be more hardened, but he doesn't have to ask for his wife and children on the condition of guarding Dongguan. Xi Jian's meaning is clear, I want to stay with my wife and children to show that I will stick to Dongguan and never give up!
Bian Lian said why do you bother, I can't believe you. Xi Jian smiled and said, "It's not Guan Bian Jun...... To make the king's affairs a matter of determination. "If I go to Dongguan alone to take office, will the big clans and people in the territory believe me? Once they encounter the police, they must suspect that I will abandon the crowd and go first, so how can they still have the heart to resist the enemy? "And Cao Wei has no ambitions, Qingzhou is undecided, how dare he go deep into Xu Fang? I have come to the mountain according to the public to deal with it, and I should have nothing to lose. If the karnu comes, it will not be easy to keep it...... I should also ask Pei and Zu Ergong to send troops to help, otherwise, the envoy will collect my bones on Gonglai Mountain! ”
Bian said Okay, since you have such determination, I can't stop you, "I'll pay five hundred soldiers to the king today." And the people of Yishan in the past of Jun mostly followed General Pei's Northern Expedition, and the rest of them were all sent to listen to Jun's orders...... "It is estimated that it will be more convenient for you to command the old people of Yishan" I will return to Huaiyin, and I will send Mrs. Zun to the north to meet with you. However, although the children are young, they can also leave their mother's arms temporarily, and it is better to stay in Huaiyin. ”
If something happens to you, your husband and wife will die together, and I can't stop it, but I'll leave your son in a safe place and keep a blood and blood for your Xi family.
Xi Jian led 500 state soldiers into Dongguan, only to go to the county to shake a beat, then went north to Gonglai Mountain, and set up a village with danger.
The south-central part of Dongguan lies Taishan, that is, the Lushan of the later generations, between Dongguan and Gaixian, it is its southern peak, called "Gonglai". It is said that the original name of this mountain floats, and it is the border of the two countries of Lu and Ju divided by Zhou, and there is a cloud in the "Eight Years of the Hidden Gong in the Spring and Autumn Period": "The alliance between the Gong and the Ju people is in the floating come." The monarch went to the past, and since then it has been renamed "Gonglai".
Xi Daohui was in the Yi Mountain reclamation, camp, stable for a long time, if not for this timeline, Shi Le sent a large army to attack, in the original history, he insisted on a full ten years, only to be forced by Hou Zhao, took the initiative to abandon the mountain to the south, surrendered to Jiangdong. Therefore, Xi Jian is experienced, and he himself thinks that when I go up the mountain, I will be more down-to-earth than staying in the city.
But not long after going up the mountain, I heard the news from Hebei that Shile had descended!
Thinking that the stone was strapped into the thistle that day, Wang Jun was captured, and Shao Shi, the son of Shao Xu, was supervised by Wang Jun and was also captured. Not long ago, Shi Le sent people to persuade Cao Wei to surrender anyway, and ordered Shao to write a letter to persuade Shao Xu to surrender. Cao Wei saw that Shi Le was powerful, and when he was worried, he heard that Pingyang had been played, and he was going to be given the position of general and Qingzhou pastor.
The main reason is that after Pei Gai's Northern Expedition, the pressure from the south was instantly reduced, but there was a big insect in the north, especially Shi Le, who killed Wang Jun in the first battle, which really scared Cao Wei a lot. So Cao Wei pondered, in order to avoid Shi Le's attack, I still obey my fate, if the Jin people are strong in the future, I will change the trick that I am familiar with, I am shameless anyway, what can you do to me?
Cao Wei immediately blocked the Yellow River crossing and put pressure on him. Shao Xu was panicked, and when he received Shao's letter again, he couldn't help but hesitate. After Liu Yan heard the news, it stands to reason that he should go to persuade Shao Xu with good words, don't destroy your reputation, even if you want to pretend to surrender to the slaves, you will definitely leave an infamy, and then discuss together, how to break through the Yellow River and return to Dongguan in the south. But who would have thought that Liu Shiren would be furious, and he would personally lead the soldiers and horses to question Shao Xu regardless of the ground, and the two would fight among themselves because of this.
Tired of a confrontation in the city, Liu Yan was finally a guest general, lost the hard battle, and fled with his brother Liu Qi without a trace. Shao Xu saw that the city was in a mess, and he really wanted to cry without tears, let alone Shile now, even if Cao Wei sent a group of soldiers and horses, it would be difficult for me to resist......
Liu Yan's recklessness made Shao Xu make up his mind, so he sent an envoy to contact Shi Le, saying that I am willing to guard for you and beware of Cao Wei. Shi Le was overjoyed, and immediately worshiped Shao Xu as the Leling Taishou, General Guanwei, and allowed him to still suppress the time I am about to use troops in the west, and I have no time to attack the tired times, you are willing to surrender the best, even if it is a pseudo-surrender, as long as it does not hinder my back road, then let you live for a few more years, why not?
When Xi Jian heard the news, he couldn't help but sigh at the sky, and said in his heart that it was thanks to Cao Wei to block the North Road in time, otherwise if I go back, it is estimated that I will have to go into exile with Liu Yan, and maybe I will be cut down by Shao Xu...... However, in this way: "Even if the slave is not south, Cao Wei will also come!" ”
When Cao Wei first returned to Hu Han, of course he would use troops in a fake way to show his loyalty. Originally, he might have crossed the river to try to attack Yici, but since Weici had already surrendered to Shile, Cao Wei could only use troops against Xuzhou. In fact, Cao Wei has been operating for several years, but only a third of Qingzhou, mainly in Dong'an, Jinan, Qi and other places between Dongguan and Leling, and now the neighboring Jintu, in addition to Dongguan, there is only Taishan County in Yanzhou.
Zu Ji is in Mount Tai, you give Cao Wei two guts and don't dare to fight, if you annoy Zu Li, let alone send troops from Henan to help, even if you collect soldiers and horses from the surrounding Yan and Henan counties, seven or eight thousand sharp soldiers can be obtained. In contrast, Xuzhou is much weaker, and even if Pei Gai still treats Xu Fang as a confinement, thousands of miles away, he can't rescue him at all.
Xi Daohui was busy stockpiling grain and grass, contacting various dock forts, and erecting flags to recruit people, and after a short time, Bian also asked Mrs. Xi to bring four or five hundred Yishan troops to help, and the soldiers and horses on the mountain were soon expanded to more than two thousand. Immediately, the Qingzhou soldiers really killed Cao Wei and sent Donglai Taishou Liu Ba to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses, including the Qianghu soldiers, and slaughtered into Dongguan.
Xi Jian fought against Liu Ba according to Gonglai Mountain, and Shi Xiongyuan in Pengcheng continued to transport military equipment. Although his number is small, but the equipment is fine, Liu Ba spent more than a month, but could not defeat the Jin army, so he had to ask Cao Wei for another 3,000 fresh troops, send the general to the south of Gonglai Mountain, cut off Xi Jian's transportation route, hoping to be able to capture this mountain through a long-term siege.
In fact, as Xi Daohui expected, Cao Wei did not go deep into the heart of Xuzhou, and originally hoped to loot in Dongguan and occupy a few county seats, which meant to stop. However, Xi Jian's resistance made Cao Wei very faceless, so he instructed Liu Ba, saying that you must capture Gonglai and capture Xi Daohui, unless the Xuzhou army came to help, you were not allowed to retreat.
However, no matter whether he or Liu Ba, or even Xi Jian, no one expected that it was not the Xuzhou soldiers who rushed to help, but the Guanxi soldiers and horses!
