The news of Liu Yao's withdrawal has been confirmed, but no one knows if he will kill another horse gun. Moreover, Liu Yao and Liu Cang are competing with each other, although it will definitely weaken the strength of Hu Hanguo, but I am afraid that the winner will be divided too quickly, and the winner will definitely lead his troops to attack Chang'an.

Besides, with the current situation in Chang'an, even if you give them a year or two of peacetime, I'm afraid they won't be able to recover!

Therefore, Liang Fen blamed Pei Gai, saying don't tell jokes, since you are here, how can you leave without any achievements? Pei Gai hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Liang Gong has learned a lesson, it is the ...... that the words should be inappropriate" and then the topic changed: "Because in this opinion, all the counties and states in Guanzhong today are doing their own thing, and although Duke Lu is the governor of the capital, he has been defeated by Hu Kou many times, so although he should enter the customs, how can he deal with himself?"

"If you stay in Chang'an, there will be no police in Chang'an for the time being, and it will only cost food and straw; If you want to consolidate the defense of Guanzhong, you really don't want to be controlled by the Koji General - since the revival of the army, every battle will be won, and the attack will ......be invincible" Of course, there is moisture in this statement, but it can be said that except for the original battle of Jiang Jigang, the Xuzhou army has indeed not suffered much setbacks - "If the Koji General drives the army with a chaotic life, he is afraid that he will be famous for a lifetime and put it into flowing water......"

Suo Qixin said, "You are a young man, what is so famous? couldn't help but interject: "There has never been a battle that must be won, and there is no permanent victory, and Koji Gongke has also defeated Liu Yao twice, how can he be despised because of occasional setbacks?" ”

Pei Gai smiled: "If there is no victory in the war, avoid it first, wait for me to win, and it is enterprising; Will be impermanent, but although it encounters setbacks without damaging its momentum, defeat and can be rectified, and it will be a famous general - Koji Gong may say this? If it is not Suo Gong, in the first year of Jianxing, he was ordered to support the Duke of Koji, defeated Yan Mo, and then retired Zhao Ran in the second year, how could he be defeated? Koji Gong was hostile to Liu Yao before and after, and only two victories were won by Suo Gong, and he was greedy for his own merit? ”

When Suo Qi heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head, and listened to Pei Gai continue: "That's why I don't understand, why don't you recall the Duke of Koji, and make Suo Gong go out to defend against the enemy?" If Suo Gong is handsome, he should be willing to gallop forward, thinking that he is a striker! ”

Suo Qixin said that I want to too! Every time I hear the news of defeat at the front, I feel anxious, but if I exchange words with Lu Yun, he will not only be able to control the government immediately, but maybe in the blink of an eye, he will also send the Son of Heaven to Shangqi...... How will I deal with myself then? So he said perfunctorily: "I was edicted by the Son of Heaven to be the governor of the palace, and it is inconvenient to stay away from Chang'an." ”

"In this case, Luoyang has been restored, why not return to the Son of Heaven in the old capital?"

Suo said I'm afraid of this...... He and Lu Yun's subordinates are all soldiers and horses in Kansai, and once they leave their homeland, they are afraid that they will not be able to master it; Besides, if Henan does not have a strong enough force, it will be fine, now that Zu Ti has recovered Henan, he must have planted a dense foundation, and once the Son of Heaven returns to Luozhong, Zu Ti will definitely press on his head. I want to take Zu Ti as a "dog guarding the household", how can I accept the lackey to be the first, but I want to salute it?!

"In the past, Liu Yao Poluo, when he heard that the palace was burned to ashes, if the Son of Heaven returned, where would he live?"

"Before the trip, I have discussed with Zu Shizhi to immediately repair the Luoyang palace room for the return of the Son of Heaven."

"Luoyang is not comparable to Chang'an, the city is wide, the palace is majestic, I don't know how long it will take to complete the renovation?"

"It's a year old."

Suo Qi pouted and smiled: "I don't think so." Henan is dilapidated, the household registration is scattered, the labor is insufficient, and the money and food are not continued, even if it is three years, it may not be able to repair Luoyang - and after the palace and city defense are completed, it is not too late to discuss the return of the capital! ”

His reaction was also expected by Pei Cai, and he immediately smiled: "In this way, you should ask the burden of He's construction to return to Luoxiu Palace." ”

Suo Qi said that there is no need - "However, Guanzhong must not consolidate its momentum in case Hu Kou comes again-ordered Zu Shizhi to lead his troops into the customs and replace Pei Gongkeye." ”

Pei Gai spread his hands: "That is, the ancestor is childish, as the previous said, if you defend the city, you will consume grain and straw, and if you want to consolidate Guanzhong, you must be ordered by the Duke of Koji - should you be unwilling, but the ancestor is childish?" ”

He insisted that this person could not be fought by Lu Yun - it was also a fact - so whether it was me or Zu Li, we would not obey him, and it was impossible to fight under his command. Anyway, Lu Yun is no longer in front of him, no matter how Pei should arrange it, presumably Suo Qi and Liang Fen will not be angry. Just kidding, if Suo Qi cares about Lu Yun, and the two can work together, Guanzhong will definitely not be in such a bad situation as it is now!

"Two, two," Liang Fen hurriedly waved his hand to stop Pei and Suo from continuing to argue with each other, and then he asked Pei Gai, "If you want to keep Pei Gong and take the real defense of Guanzhong, what does Pei Gong need, but it doesn't hurt to say it clearly." ”

Pei Caixin said that this is right, you always can't ask a little bit, I am embarrassed to say anything clearly, and immediately smiled: "There should be three strategies, and please consider it." ”

He said that the best policy is - "Recall the Duke of Koji, make the defense of Chang'an, and use the capital to supervise the military of Yongzhou, and the north to protect Hu Kou!" ”

Suo Qi shook his head: "Don't ...... And Koji Gongke will not be commanded. "Do you think I don't want to call Koji Yun back and replace him with someone who can fight? Unless I hand over the title of Lu Shangshu and let him be the head of this family, otherwise he is stupid, how can he be willing to hand over the right to dismiss the army?

Liang Fen asked, "How is the middle strategy?" ”

Pei Gai said: "Anding, Xinping, Fufeng, Shiping four counties, each with soldiers and horses, patrol can not advance, and do not lose tribute for a long time, please stop their guards, gather soldiers and horses, I and Koji Gong parted ways to Yuhu!" ”

Suo Qi sighed softly, and his attitude became a little softer: "What Pei Gong said is true, but ...... It's not easy to do either. Stable too shou Jiao Song, Xinping too shou Zhu Hui, Fu Feng Xiang Zhu Shuang, Shi Ping Xiang Yang statue, all the former Koji Gongke please add the town number, and even in the waiter, often serve the title, are arrogant, do not obey the order of the court. And if he stops, Koji Gongke will not allow it......"

In fact, he originally wanted to be the same as Pei Gai, to unify the military and financial resources of the various counties in Guanzhong, so as to fight a decisive battle with the Hu army, but those guards were all heroes who supported Sima Ye to ascend the throne at the beginning, and it was not easy to settle it. Not to mention that the Hu army is pressing the border on a large scale, there is really no extra force to clean up those guys - Lu Yun wants to defend against Hu, and Suo Yun wants to defend against Lu Yun and Sima Bao - even if the Hu army temporarily retreats now, Lu Yun will not be ordered to recruit them based on his own face.

Koji Gongke is soft-hearted and indecisive, which is not only the side of Suo Qi who hates him, but also the side of Suo Qi who loves him - if a person who is decisive in killing comes up, he will definitely unify the counties first, and then he will wave his army to Chang'an to seize the authority of Suo Juxiu! It is precisely because Koji Yun is soft enough that although Suo and Koji stumble on each other, they still maintain a minimum of harmony on the surface, otherwise Suo Yun will have to fight against Koji Yun and Sima Bao with one force, and he will definitely be defeated!

Of course, before his Suo Juxiu defeat, it is unknown whether Hu Jun had already entered Chang'an City first.

He sighed here, in fact, Liang Fen sighed endlessly in his heart, but it was inconvenient to show it, so he had to ask Pei Gai: "What is the next step?" ”

Pei Gai suddenly raised his eyebrows, glared at him, and said sharply: "The next step is to be damned!" Immediately, Dangdang said something, and he heard Suo Qi and Liang Fen all shocked and dumbfounded.

——————————

In fact, before Pei Ying entered Chang'an City, he had already discussed with Pei Wei how to deal with it. On that day, he was worried that there was a shortage of grain and straw in Chang'an City, and even if he led his troops to come, it would be useless, so Pei Wei said: "I want to discuss with Wen Yue because of this......" As he spoke, his eyes flickered slightly, and Wang Gong understood, so he bowed down and retreated. Immediately, Pei should exclude the others and discuss with Pei Wei alone.

Because Pei should be in a hurry to enter Chang'an City, so that he could rest for one night, and go to meet the Son of Heaven the next morning, Pei Wei's words were very brief: "To deal with the current situation, there are three strategies. ”

Pei Caixin said that he came to this set again? Why did the ancients always like to play the tricks of the upper, middle and lower strategies, and asked with a smile: "Please talk about the best strategy first." ”

Pei Wei said that it doesn't matter up and down, but the difficulty is different - "Liu Yao has retreated, Chang'an is temporarily blocked, and the text is about to meet the Son of Heaven, please get the scepter and the edict of not retreating, you can leave Chang'an and return to Henan. ”

Pei Gai groaned for a moment and shook his head slowly: "If that's the case, why should I go to Chang'an in person?" Send Tao Shixing to lead the army to open the passage, and my uncle will come to the court for me—and say that it is difficult. ”

Pei Wei said: "The second policy, Wen Yue asked to be appointed as the governor of Yongzhou, and even relinquished the post of the governor of Koji Zhongke, which is about to close the military affairs of Guanzhong, and one shoulder is loaded, so that the whole army can be reorganized." I heard that those who lack food, Chang'an, not Guanzhong, all counties and countries have reserves, but they only recruit troops by themselves, and they refuse to pay tribute to the court. If you can unify the power of affairs, search for their grain stocks, it is not difficult to cope with the one-year-old, and only strengthen the defense of the cities, and do not march north for the time being, there should be no risk of cutting off the cooking. ”

Pei Gai frowned and said: "If you can unify the power of affairs and drive the counties and states, can't Suo, Koji, and Liang do it, but treat me?" The people who come from afar are not as strong as their foundation in Guanzhong, so it can be seen that they are not unable to do it, they are unwilling to do it, and they are unwilling to do it, so can An allow me to do it? It's tantamount to a tiger seeking skin! ”

Pei Wei said: "If the tiger refuses to fake the skin, then the only thing is to bind the tiger's ears!" In the city of Chang'an today, except for more than 1,000 Liangzhou troops, according to the clouds, they can not fight. Strike Suo Qi first, recall and return Koji Yun, and the text can govern the country! However, I don't know what Liang Gong wants, he is now the leader of the courtiers, Ren Situ is a few years old, and he must have a deep foundation, if he can say it, this third strategy is easier than the second strategy; If you can't say it...... The choice is yours. ”

Pei Gai pondered for a while, and then shook his head again: "Suo, Koji and their subordinates are all from Guanxi, although our army is sharp, after all, there are few people, if they can't be divided and controlled, the chances of victory are slim." As for Liang Situ, he is also from the Kansai region, and Anken abandons the rope and koji to me? Even if he is disappointed in Suo, Koji, etc., I have no reputation to establish a dynasty...... "Don't think that after a few victories, you will instantly become famous in the world, and everyone will bow down when you see it, even if you can fight a war, and even govern the local area has a set, so what about governing the country?" Can you enter Liang Fen's eyes, can you partner and cooperate with him perfectly? When all this is unknown, how can Liang Fen be willing to give up Suo Qi and Lu Yun, and join forces with you Pei Ying?

If there is no Liang Fen to help, then Pei should be a rootless grass in the political arena, even if you hold the Son of Heaven in your hands, the court will be scattered in an instant, where do you come from the righteous name, you can order Guanzhong? Not to mention commanding the world. Maybe Sima Rui and Sima Bao will soon have an excuse to send troops to crusade against you and reproduce the chaos of the Han and Ji princes against Dong - but the Hu people covet it, and at this critical juncture, how can they make Guanzhong unstable for a long time?

Therefore, Pei Gai said: "Uncle's three strategies, the bottom is too slow, the top is too urgent, because of the person, and if the person does not allow it, it will be the water and the moon mirror flower." ”

Pei Wei spread his hands and said, "I'm poor, what's the best way to do it?" ”

Pei was spreading out the map of Guanzhong in front of the case, he looked at it carefully for a while, and then said slowly: "I still remember my uncle's old days and the language, take Zhuge Kongming as an example, Yun Kongming is in Shuzhong, and he has been on the Northern Expedition for many years, in order to succeed, this is not against the sky, it is really fighting for the sky!" Today, the middle of the pass is weak, the thief is strong, that is, the party is infighting, and he is afraid of winning and losing, and the strength may not be greatly damaged, but the trend of small and big is clear. The enemies I faced, Fei Suo, Liang Ye, are Hu Luye, if you want to fight big with a small one, you can only fight for the sky! ”

What Pei Gai pondered at the beginning was to farm well in Xuzhou and support Zu Ti to put pressure on Si and Yan in Yuzhou. According to the normal process of history, the next step should be the destruction of Chang'an City, Emperor Chu was captured, and he was immediately killed, and Sima Rui established the Eastern Jin Dynasty in Jiankang; Then Hu Han should start a civil strife, Liu Cong died and Liu Cang succeeded, and then Jin Zhun coup d'état, Liu Yao and Shi Ledong joined forces to crusade against him. When the time comes, Pei should be out of Qingxu, and Zu should be out of Yanyu, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Hu people's tripartite infighting, he can determine the area south of the Yellow River in one fell swoop, and even enter the pass. If the timing is good, maybe Jin Zhun may be saved, so that Hu Ren will be able to settle down from now on.

Such a move with the times seems to be perfect, but this is purely a golden finger that relies on the prediction of future history, and once there is a slight mistake, which leads to a turn in the long river of history, it will immediately be blind - if you want to make a profit from foresight, you will inevitably devote yourself to this point because of this, and if you deviate slightly, you will immediately be at a loss.

It's like Zhuge Liang came out of Qishan, if he knew the future, I believe he would definitely not reject Wei Yan's Meridian Valley strategy again. However, Zhuge Liang, with his own character and ability, is not suitable for taking a big risk, if he implements a strategic decision that he is not really happy about, how can it not be an accident? Maybe it will end up even worse!

Pei Wei is still right, we must "fight for the sky", only by relying on our true ability to fight for it is the result that can really be grasped - if you win, you can shake the world and turn the situation; If you lose, that's the limit of your own ability, and you won't leave any regrets.

Therefore, Pei Caicai planned to ignore any history, and as soon as he got the order of Jiankang, he immediately joined forces with Zu Ti to go on a northern expedition. Now that he has come to this point, can he still be allowed to retreat to Henan and Hongnong, and slowly step forward? Once you are in the customs, you must rely on your own strength to fight well!

"I am determined," Pei Gai stretched out his hand to pat on the map, "I will pay for my life in the mountains and rivers here!" ”
