Zu Ti was in Luoyang and sent Li Ju and Wei to Hanoi, but he also knew very well that Hanoi was the key to the world, and this move would inevitably encounter a strong flanking attack from the east and west. For the east, he was trying to take this opportunity to fight against Shi Le, winning or losing, so as not to accumulate in Hebei and be difficult to control in the future. For the west, although it was difficult for Liu Cang to return in a hurry, he stayed in Hedong and may not have no soldiers.

Therefore, Zu Ti sent people to secretly go north to contact all ethnic groups in Hedong, asking them to tie up the footsteps of the Hu army, so that they could not go to help Zhaogu in Hanoi. The first thing he targeted was the Liu family of Xie County, and the reason was very simple - the wife of his ancestor general was the daughter of the Liu family's small sect.

The envoy came to Xie County and asked to see Liu Gong and Liu Ju, and the brothers remembered in a trance, dare to love that we are still close to General Zu! One is that Mrs. Liu belongs to the side branch and is not from a high background; The second wants to marry a daughter when he entered the ancestral family, the Liu brothers were still young, and the ancestor Shizhi was only the master of Sizhou, humble and light-hearted, and then the world was separated and did not interact with each other, and the Liu family forgot about it......

Now recalling this incident, Liu Gong couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said in his heart that if I have the support of General Zu, it is enough to fight against Pei Da Sima, at least Liu Xi and they don't want to easily take the position of my patriarch - with this trade-off, the Jin people will win, and it will be beneficial and harmless to me.

That's why I started to carry my back, and I was afraid that I would be alone, and I had to contact other families to advance and retreat together. But he rejected Xue Ning in the past, and now he has repented, is Xue Ning willing to accept it? Since Xue Tao attached to Hu and Pei Shuo were detained, Xue Ning has jumped up and down, almost becoming the co-head of the major families in Hedong - at least the main liaison - so if Xue Ning doesn't accept us and others, how can we squeeze back into the Hedong family?

In desperation, Liu Jucai personally went out to visit Xue Ning, pulled down his face - anyway, his face was not as valuable as his brother - and begged tactfully.

Xue Ning figured out Liu Ju's intention, and couldn't help but be overjoyed - someone sent a pillow just after falling asleep, so lucky! Immediately soothed with kind words, welcomed the Xue family to abandon the darkness and return to the light, and then put together the news he had obtained, hoping that the Liu family could help pass it on to Haoyang.

However, when Liu Ju heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head and said, "Brother Xue's letter is not ...... in time."

The Liu family also has its own intelligence channels, and they have been relatively close to Wei Zhong recently, so they are more clear than Xue Ning about the situation in Hu Zhong in some aspects. Therefore, Liu Ju said, Brother Xue, your news is outdated, Shi Hu's harassment of Pingyang, Liu Cang has long known about it, and has ordered Wang Yan, who joined the army, to return to Pingyang and drink Shi Hu.

Because when Liu Cang sent Wang Yan away, he also wrote a letter to Wei Zhong, one to urge grain and grass, and the other to ask him to prepare in advance, if Shi Huguo has the intention of rebellion, you may have to lead the soldiers and horses of Hedong and go north to King Qin - even if Hedong is lost? Pingyang must not be lost, my emperor Lao Tzu must not fall into the hands of the slaves!

Recently, the Liu brothers have been getting closer to Wei Zhong, secretly collecting money and bribing him to get close to him to inquire about the news, so they know much more about this matter than Xue Ning.

Immediately, Liu Ju analyzed: "Brother Xue saw that Shi's merits were high and shocked, and thought that Hu Bi was in civil strife, but Shi Le is now in the land of You, Ji, and Sanzhou, if you want to stand on your own, you should have made a move earlier, why wait for today?" The foolish brother thought that if the Jin Dynasty was vigorous, Hu and Liang would refuse to divide it based on the righteousness of the cold lips and teeth, unless the emperor was ...... Liu Cang's victory, the Jin situation suffered a big setback, and Xiangguo and Pingyang could be dissatisfied. If Liu Cang is defeated, how would Shi Le want to see the Jin master cross the river in a big way? will inevitably stop the stone tiger; If Liu Cang wins, Triumphant Pingyang, Shi Hu is not enough.

"And if there is no Shi Le's order, Shi Hu will only dare to harass, and he will not risk the condemnation of the world and force Pingyang City."

All in all, Liu Cang has known this news for a long time, and he has no intention of returning to his teacher because of this, if you want to rely on this news to ask for merit and reward from the Jin people, I'm afraid it's a fool's dream.

When Xue Ning heard this, he couldn't help but feel stunned - I was excited for a long time!

Liu Ju was afraid that Xue Ning would be annoyed, so he was angry with the Liu family, and hurriedly explained: "Brother Xue wants to make meritorious contributions and plan for the future, and he is not spreading one or two news. My brother has a plan, is my brother willing to listen to it? ”

Xue Ning hurriedly said: "I hope it will come true, and tell me bluntly." ”

Liu Ju smiled and said: "Liu Cang's 200,000 army marched westward - although the soldiers were only 100,000, counting the people and forced labor, it was not less than this - the daily need for grain and straw was piled up like a mountain mausoleum. The treasury of Pingyang was originally empty, and it was estimated that it could support a month's worth of grain at most, and then it would need to be temporarily collected from Hedong. In the past, this foolish brother should not be invited by Brother Xue, but still ask for it from Wei Zhong, in fact, it is not to help Hu, such as setting up incense bait to catch Liu Cang, and wanting to make his mud feet fall into danger without knowing it......"

Of course, this is completely a lie, and it is a pretense of the text, but what Liu Ju said afterwards is not unreasonable - "Today, Wei Zhong is planning grain and straw, counting the grain storage of my Liu and Liang families, if Hexi loses, it can be supported for a month, and it has been reported to Liu Cang to know." However, if we no longer supply and lose their food, then Liu Cang will be in the west of the river, and it will not be difficult for the officials and soldiers to break it if they are like fish in the middle of the fish and beasts fall into the trap. ”

If Liu Cang knew that the food would not last long, then he would definitely plan to retreat; However, in Wei Zhong's plan, the grain can still be supported for a month, so Liu Cang should stay at least twenty more days, he always feels that the next batch of grain will soon arrive at the front line, even if it is delayed on the road, it will only be delayed for two or three days, and I can afford to wait. When the grain is about to run out, if he wants to retreat, it will be more difficult, and the Jin army will pursue from behind and will win a big victory.

Liu Ju said that I have Liu Cang's lifeblood here, and he can still stay in Guanzhong for a few days, I may be able to calculate more accurately than Wei Zhong. I dare not say that in ten days, Liu Cang will retreat, so where can he retreat?

"Now I heard that Liu Cang has been forced to give up the siege of Haoyang and go south to seek Dali. If he gets Da Li, then it's just - but Da Li Shou will be Zhen Wuwei, the champion of courage for a while, I am afraid that he may not be able to fall - if he can't get it, he will either return to Xiayang in the north, or take the Puban Ferry, and return by taking the road. It's not easy to pass Yangdu......

"If Liu Cang returns from Pusaka to the east, I can send a letter to General Luoyang Zu, asking him to send an army to cross the river in a hurry to scratch his flank, and he will surely win a great victory. If Liu Cang returns from Xiayang, I wonder if Brother Xue will have the courage to invite him? That is, Liu Cang returned to Puban, and then Pei Da Sima rushed to chase, and there was a surprise attack by General Zu on the side, and the army would be broken. If you can get lucky enough to capture Liu Cang, or the general of the first and second Hu and sacrifice Luoyang, then the merit is strange and high, and there is no need to say too much about it.

"When the time comes, will this Lord of the Xue Clan, hehe, who belongs to Brother Xue?"

When Xue Ning heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, but after thinking about it, it dimmed again. He hesitated: "Although we are against Hu, we will also serve it, if we send troops to invite Liu Cang to intercept it, it will be like officially raising a flag of rebellion...... I am not afraid, but I am afraid that the families will not obey each other......"

Liu Juxin said that of course, if Hu Han is really disabled, it will be fine, but if there is still a breath of air, and he will come back the next day to take revenge, we will definitely push your Xue family out - you are too much trouble! But this kind of truth, he naturally won't declare it, but just said: "If all the furniture refuses to supply and deliver the food and straw of the Hu army, then Hu wants revenge, how can the soldiers stop pointing at the Xue family?" All ethnic groups in Hedong, together will be prosperous, and if they are divided, they will die, who doesn't know the reason for this cold lips and teeth? If Brother Xue can hold Liu Cang, the court will have a reward for the marquis, then we will only look forward to Brother Xue's horse, how dare we disobey? ”

Xue Ning twisted his beard, thought about it carefully, and asked Liu Ju: "Brother Zun really no longer supplies Hu Jun's food and straw?" That is, if the brothers do not confess, what does the Liang family say? Liu Ju patted his chest and promised: "My Liu family's heart is to the court, and this will not be unswerving." As for the Liang family, Yi said that it was all on the foolish brother. ”

Xue Ning bowed his head slowly, seemingly following Liu Ju's advice, but in fact, he thought to himself: I'm not stupid, how can I easily send troops to attack Liu Can? We'll see what happens. If Liu Cangguo wants to cross from Xiayang, then I will take the ferry, block him to death, and let the official army annihilate him on the west bank of the Yellow River. If Liu Cang waded across from Pusaka, and was really attacked by Pei Dasima and General Zu as Liu Ju said, then I have to inquire clearly how badly he lost, and then decide whether to set up an ambush on the road to prevent him from returning north.

If the 100,000-strong army is not seven or eight, then the Pingyang regime will be completely crippled. Can you Pingyang keep it up, how can you have the strength to kill back to Hedong within three or five years to come to me for revenge? And if the Hu army is defeated and the losses are not large, then I will honestly get out of the way and let you go back.

However, we have other possibilities, to ask for credit from Chang'an or Luoyang - so I asked Liu Ju: "Where is Wei Zhongjian?" If Hu's army is defeated, can Brother Zun leave him behind? If there is a need for manpower, I will provide for it. ”

When Liu Ju heard this, he was slightly stunned, and asked: "Brother Xue's so-called 'stay' refers to ......?"

Xue Ning said with a smile: "Then Wei Zijie once hated the deer and became a duke, so how can Pei Dasima not want to avenge his father's grievances?" ”

——————————

The situation in Guanzhong was reported to Luoyang, Sima Ye couldn't help but worry, and summoned Zu Qi to ask: "I heard that Sima Da is surrounded by Hu Kou in Haoyang, I don't know if it is possible to defend it?" I know that the city is small and humble, and I am afraid it will be difficult to besiege the main force of the Hu army......"

Pei Gai's general strategic concept was also handed to Zu Ti's desk not long before, which was sent when he first entered Haoyang and Hu Jun had not yet closed the siege. For fear of leaking the military information, he did not dare to play directly in front of His Majesty, but only informed Zu Shizhi that he knew, the purpose was to make Zu Ti not worry about the war in Guanzhong, and he could stabilize the eastern front steadily.

Although Wang Gong's information has been delivered from a long distance and has not yet been able to come, Pei Gai can naturally imagine that Liu Cangju went west with the country's troops and almost emptied the two counties of Pingyang and Hedong, so he was not afraid that Zu Ti would take the opportunity to cross north? will inevitably order Shi Le to harass Si and Yan in order to contain Zu Shizhi. So it's good for you to pay attention to Shi Le, Liu Cang will hand it over to me, if I am really in danger, I will send an envoy for help, and I don't have to work for Zujun at present.

Therefore, when Zu Ti heard Sima Ye's inquiry, he was relieved: "The reason why the great Sima knows the soldiers and the three armies are brave, and the reason why he was slightly frustrated is that most of the troops asked for Sima Bao in Qinzhou, but they did not return in time. Although the city of Haoyang is small, the big Sima is good at guarding, and there are Taoshi lines to complement each other, between the ten months, there should be nothing to worry about. And when the armies are returned, the centripetal attack, echoing inside and outside, will break Liu Cang. The Son of Heaven and live in peace, if the great Sima Guo can't support it, the minister will personally lead the army to rescue, so that not an inch of land in the country will fall into the hands of Hu again! ”

When he returned to his own shogunate, Zu Ti checked the map and carefully studied the battle in Guanzhong - he was still a little uneasy.

Secretary Kong Jun took the opportunity to ask Zu Ti: "The last official doesn't know about military affairs, but when I heard that the great Sima Chu Dingyong and Qin, the department was only fifty or sixty thousand...... This number is still before Sima Bao was discussed, Pei should have said it himself in a letter to Zu Ti, which has its own water - "Hu Jun is known as 200,000, and he slaughters more elites, can Da Sima Guo be it?" Why didn't Ming Gong send a brigade of troops to the west to rescue? ”

Zu Ti smiled slightly and said: "Although Pei Wenyue thinks highly of himself, he is not a reckless person, if he has no way to break the beard, he will ask me for help as soon as possible. Then he tapped the map with his finger: "Hu Kou has insufficient grain and straw, so he can only rob and plunder, but Pei Wenyue is in Feng Yijian's wall to clear the wilderness, and re-lock Dali and Pinyang, so that Liu Cang cannot go deeper, in a certain opinion, at most, it is not more than a month, and Liu Cang will retreat!"

"However, I don't know where he will go from. If he crosses from Xiayang, Haoyang, and Puban, I can't reach it, but if he crosses from Xiayang, I can't reach it, but if I cross from Haoyang and Puban, I can find an opportunity to send an army across the river and try to disturb its flanks, and I will ......be captured."

Kong Jun frowned and said: "Today, General Li and General Wei will take Hanoi to the north, if the slaves come to rescue Zhao Gu, the Ming Duke will personally unify Pixiu, cross the river to help, and have the spare strength to return to the east of the river?" And from Leishou Mountain to the bumpy mountain, even the oars are heavily fortified, and it is not easy to cross the ......"

Zu Ti nodded and said: "Qing Yan is yes, so I secretly sent people to contact all the tribes in Hedong, if I get their help, I will break through the Hu Lei and cross the big river, and I will not be embarrassed." As for the battle of Hanoi, if the slaves do not come, if they come, the terrain is narrow, the turnover is not easy, the cities are widespread, the roads are divergent, it is difficult to outwit, only the enemy, I am afraid that it will not be a month or two and can distinguish the victory and defeat. Since it is a long-term battle, you can first make an army cross the east of the river from Hongnong to the north, and after breaking the Hu, then cross the king's house to the east and attack the thieves - this plan to kill two birds with one stone.

"However, who is the general, and it is better to take on this heavy responsibility?"

Even if Liu Cang was defeated in Guanzhong, retreated to Hedong, and found a way north to Pingyang, the losses he suffered may not be too serious, then a partial division will forcibly cross the Yellow River, flank raids, and after taking advantage of it, the whole division can go east, and then go to hit Shile, this whole set of strategic deployment is easy to plan, but the specific tactical application is very difficult. In Zu Ti's opinion, he is fully capable of completing this mission - but unfortunately, as the main general, he has to go to the aid of Hanoi head-on - Li Ju may also be able to shoulder this heavy responsibility, Wei should be slightly worse. So if you cut down these people, what else can you send under your command?

Kong Junnai said: "Pingyang Guo Shengjie, although the crown is weak, Ming Gong is often known as the first loyal and brave among the younger generations, and his wisdom is unmatched, have you forgotten it?" ”

When Zu Li heard this, he immediately woke up and nodded again and again: "Qing Yan is yes, Guo Yu can be in this position!" ”
