Volume 7 Entering the Dynasty Chapter 254 The Chain Effect

Fengxiang, the west gate of this pass is as calm and dignified as usual, the tall city wall is bathed in the golden sunlight of the early morning, the metal armor on the soldiers' bodies shines and reflects in the sun, five miles east of Fengxiang City, a small-scale military camp stands in the middle of a large field, although the scale is not large, but the defense is tight, the huge wooden fence surrounds the military barracks, and the soldiers on the six temporary guard towers patrol back and forth, looking sharply into the distance.

This is Zhang Huan's temporary pro-military camp, a thousand first-arrived pro-soldiers have been stationed in the camp for two days, Zhang Huan's team also arrived last night, at this moment, he looked at the distant Fengxiang City with the support of several pro-soldiers, there are only 8,000 defenders in the city, and the Jiedu envoy is still Li Mo, the general who was originally loyal to Cui Yuan, three years ago after the fall of Cui Yuan, he resolutely threw himself into the new right minister Cui Yu, is Cui Yu's hardcore supporter, although his troops are not much, but Fengxiang's strategic location is extremely important, originally to defend against Tubo eastward, At this time, it became an important place to strictly prevent Zhu Zhu's northern aggression, and Fengxiang became the focus of attention of the entire Chang'an.

If only from a military point of view, the capture of Fengxiang Zhang Huan can be done without much effort, but the consequences of doing so will be extremely serious, not only will it ruin his efforts to dilute the occupation of Longyou in these years, but also hinder the implementation of his future strategy, but it is imperative to seize Fengxiang, take Fengxiang, his political status will take a substantial step forward, if Pei Jun takes the lead, he will regret it.

The most crucial point in this is to establish a situation in which all people want to garrison Fengxiang, but let the accusers have nothing to say, maybe this is politics.

"Governor, someone is coming." The guards on the guard tower found that there were more than a dozen horsemen galloping towards this side two miles away, and without waiting for Zhang Huan's order, Li Dingfang, the captain of the personal soldiers, had led more than 100 horsemen to meet and investigate, and after a while, Li Dingfang returned like a gust of wind, "Dudu, the person who came called himself Fengxiang Army Marching Sima Hanqing." ”

Zhang Huan nodded, this was the person he was waiting for, "Take him to my tent." ”

Soon, the soldiers brought Han Qing to the Shuai tent, Han Qing is also a hidden stake inserted by Pei Jun in the Fengxiang army, he cooperated with Zhang Huan three years ago, and has always kept in touch, whether he can realize the Fengxiang strategy this time, he is a key person.

"See the Governor!" Han Qing bowed into the tent and gave a salute, the reason why he bowed to Zhang Huan was indeed because Han Qing was already half of Zhang Huan's subordinate, not only Han Qing's parents, wife and children had enjoyed the glory and wealth in their hometown for three years, but Han Qing himself had also written to Zhang Huan many times to express his loyalty, Han Qing was a smart man, he knew that Longyou must treat himself like this because he had the value of existence, in order to improve his gold content, Han Qing has worked Li Mo and his wife and concubine in recent years, and has gained his trust step by step, He was promoted to the rank of marching Sima and the deputy envoy of Jiedu, and became the second person in the Fengxiang Army, and the night before yesterday, Zhang Huan sent a secret envoy to find him, and he knew that the day of his emergence had finally come.

"You may be seated!" Zhang Huan half lay on the soft couch, smiled and waved his hand, "I am injured, I can't get up to greet Han Sima." ”

"The subordinates don't dare." Han Qing sat down flattered, and said angrily: "I heard that the governor was stabbed by Zhu Jun, this person dares to do such a thing at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is really infuriating, yesterday this person has returned to Hanzhong through Fengxiang, I am still regretting it, I knew that I would stop him for the governor." ”

Zhang Huan only smiled at Han Qing's near-fleshy allegiance, the world's bustling is often for profit, and it is not entirely right to use it on this Han Qing, benefits are only a part, and the powerful relationship is the key to Han Qing's loyalty to himself, this person stepped on three boats, Cui Yu, Pei Jun, and then Longyou, now no matter who he turns back and confesses to, it is a dead end, and he himself knows this, so he writes letters of allegiance again and again to eliminate Longyou's doubts about him.

"I came to Han Sima this time because I wanted Han Sima to do a few things." Zhang Huan glanced at him, and when he saw that he immediately put on a focused look, he couldn't help but smile and continued: "First, I want the roster of soldiers of the Fengxiang Army, and I must have the most detailed information about each soldier; Second, I want the most detailed information on all of Li Mo's middle-level officers; As for the third, I hope that a case of Li Mo's embezzlement of military salaries will break out when I need to. ”

"The subordinates know, and the subordinates will do it." Han Qing agreed cleanly, he stood up and was about to leave, but Zhang Huan stopped him again, these three things are related to the success of Fengxiang's strategy, he can't be careless, Zhang Huan groaned, narrowed his eyes and smiled: "In order to protect your safety, I will give you three hundred soldiers to escort you, you find a way to place them by your side, as well as your parents, wife and children, I will also send someone to take over in Longyou, so that you have no worries, and when this matter is done, you will take over the new Fengxiang Festival!" ”

The best way to deal with Han Qing, the three-legged cat, is to cut off all his retreats and not give him the possibility of thinking about it, so that he can be completely loyal to himself.

Han Qing left in a panic, the big tent was quiet again, Zhang Huan half leaned on the soft couch and pondered, his mind was deducing the trend of each move in this big chess game, lest there be a little omission, Pei Jun, Cui Yu, Zhu Jun, Cui Xiaofu, Cui Qinggong。。。。。 , His mind suddenly flashed, 'Cui Qinggong', he almost forgot about this person, since he can make a truncation to force the court, it means that there are capable people around him, in the general situation arranged by himself, what will he do? Is it a good thing to do, or is it something else?

The tent was very quiet, Zhang Huan closed his eyes tightly, as if he was asleep, and more than a dozen pro-soldiers around him were motionless, not daring to disturb the governor's deep thoughts, about a quarter of an hour later, his eyes slowly opened, people have no foresight, there must be near-term worries, if he does not prepare early, I am afraid that it will be too late when things come to an end.

Zhang Huan turned over and sat up, and resolutely ordered his own soldiers: "Pass my urgent order to Shuzhong, and order Lin Jiuhan to lead 30,000 troops to Nanping County (now Chongqing), and collect 300 large ships for me to transport troops within three days, and stand by to advance eastward at any time." ”

。。。。。。。。。。。

On the wall of Fengxiang, Li Mo looked at the west worriedly, he had just received a report from the border outpost that more than 50,000 troops in Kaiyang and Longxi counties were approaching the south of Fengxiang, this was the first time in three years, although Li Mo also heard that Zhang Huan was assassinated in Chang'an, and guessed that Zhang Huan's transfer of troops was most likely to prepare for the attack on Hanzhong.

He did not object to the attack on Hanzhong, and even approved with both hands, but the crossing of 50,000 troops still made him feel uneasy, as if two people were fighting next to his couch, could he still sleep peacefully?

"Why is there no news from Choi Sang-kook?" Li Mo frowned and muttered to himself.

The soldier beside him suddenly pointed to a soldier who was running towards the city wall and shouted, "General, there is news here." ”

Seeing that the soldier was holding a letter in his hand and was rushing over, Li Mo was in good spirits and walked quickly to meet him, "What's the news?" ”

"Report to the general, Longyou Jiedu sent someone to send a letter to Zhang Huan."

'Zhang Huan? Li Mo was disappointed for a while, it was not Cui Yu's letter, and the letter that did not return to Zhang Huan was also what he was looking forward to, Li Mo took the letter, tore off the cover, and shook off the letter.

'Fengxiang Festival makes Li Zhijun, Zhu Zhu is cruel and unkind, and he has been in Shu for a long time, and now the rat is running to Hanzhong, Huan Wen Nanzheng has ten households and eight soldiers, ten grains and nine troops, down to the eight-year-old Huangkou, up to sixty cangtou are all into the military camp, and it is also heard that he forced tens of thousands of women to join the army with the camp, called military wives, the loss of humanity, morality is no longer, Huan is not talented, and is willing to mention a brigade of righteous soldiers to ask for it, especially to make Jun beg to borrow the Chen Cang garrison, Huan Qiu did not commit any crimes! ’

After reading it, Li Mo was silent for a long time, and he still came.

At this time, an adjutant general next to him persuaded: "General, it is better to report this matter to the imperial court, and the imperial court will decide." ”

Li Mo sighed and said helplessly: "So far, it can only be like this." ”

。。。。。。。

In the middle of November of the sixth year of Xuanren, after Zhang Huan was assassinated, the situation in the Tang Dynasty changed abruptly, first the garrisons of Kaiyang and Longxi counties of Longyou were assembled at the border of Fengxiang, and then Zhu Zhu of Hanzhong ignored the persuasion of his brother Zhu Tao, and brazenly gathered 100,000 troops to march north, trying to strike first, the Hanzhong army moved, and the rumors that Zhu Jun wanted to attack Chang'an immediately flew all over the streets and alleys of Chang'an, and many merchants who did business in Hanzhong took out pigeon letters as evidence, and for a while there was a rumor in Chang'an City, and people were panicked.

"Quick! Fast! Faster! ”

A carriage is galloping in the Daming Palace, Chu Xingshui on the carriage urges the coachman to speed up from time to time, and his anxious face is revealed, he has just got two news, first his younger brother Chu Xingyun came from Guangling Feigeon, and Cui Qinggong's 200,000 troops stationed in various parts of Huaibei have signs of assembling in Ruyin.

Chu Xingshui immediately sent someone to Cui Qinggong's mansion to investigate, but learned that Cui Qinggong had quietly left Chang'an last night, on the one hand, the Huaibei army was assembled, and on the other hand, Cui Qinggong said goodbye, and what was going to happen in the middle had already been revealed.

Cui Qinggong's possible target for attack, the top ten is Huainan.

Chu Xingshui didn't care about the rules in the palace that horses were not allowed to run, and rushed to Pei Jun in a hurry, and the carriage 'Ga! The ground stopped in front of the steps of Zhongshu Province, and Chu Xingshui jumped out of the carriage and ran up the steps.

In the room, Pei Jun paced back and forth in front of a huge map with his hands behind his back, compared with the ordinary people of Chang'an, the news he got was more comprehensive and accurate, he already knew that Zhu Jun's 30,000 vanguard troops were blocked in front of the Dasan Pass, and he also knew that Cui Qinggong had ordered the Huaibei Army to assemble and prepare for a large-scale attack on Guangling, and he knew that Cui Qinggong and Zhu Zhu had colluded to divide the Tang Dynasty and rule the east and west.

But what he didn't expect was that the origin of this series of serious incidents turned out to be an assassination incident by Zhang Huan, which made Pei Jun have to think deeply about the mystery behind this assassination incident.

At present, there are about 150,000 troops in the entire Guanzhong region, and his Pei Jun's Qianniuwei accounts for 130,000, and Li Na, who has retreated from Hanzhong, leads 10,000 remnants of the army to be stationed in Xinping County, north of Chang'an, and Fengxiang's 8,000 troops, and the remaining about 2,000 sporadic troops are the Jin Wuwei of the Cui family, mainly stationed in several squares in Chang'an City, led by Cui Ping, the second son of Cui Yu.

Qianniuwei's 130,000 army is Pei Jun's descendant elite army, firmly controlling Guanzhong, he will never use it until he has to, this time Hanzhong Zhu Zhu moved, although Pei Jun knew that it was unlikely to attack Guanzhong, but he still decided to transfer 80,000 troops from Hedong into Guanzhong to guard (here it needs to be added that now the division of forces in Hedong is not a three-year situation, the Cui family is shrinking, only Shangdang and Gaoping two counties remain, and the rest are all eaten away by the Pei family, and now among the 400,000 troops of the Pei family, 100,000 are distributed in Hebei, There were 200,000 in Hedong, 130,000 in Guanzhong, and 70,000 in the north of Guanlong. οΌ‰

And now, not only Zhu Jungou jumped over the wall in a hurry, but Cui Qinggong in Huaibei was also ready to move, which made it difficult for Pei Jun to make a decision for a while, how to arrange the 80,000 troops transferred from Hedong? Whether it's coming from the west or going from the east.

When he was thinking about it, the clerk reported outside the door, "Chu Shangshu has something urgent to see." ”

"Let him in!" Pei Jun smiled, of course he knew what Chu Xingshui was here for, speaking of which Chu Xingshui's daughter is still Pei Jun's daughter-in-law, these two Tang Dynasty ministers formed an alliance to deal with Cui Yuan, with the fall of Cui Yuan, there was a rift between the two allies because Pei Jun strengthened his financial control over the Jianghuai region, and today, the two have long been in the same bed.

As soon as Pei Jun's words fell, Chu Xingshui strode in, he couldn't hide the anxiety on his face, and said loudly: "Xiangguo knows why Cui Qinggong returned to Huaibei?" ”

"Don't worry, come on! Have a seat. Pei Jun smiled and asked Chu Xingshui to sit down, he narrowed his eyes and said unhurriedly: "Cui Qinggong is just a clown jumping beam, Brother Xian doesn't have to take him too seriously, I also know that Brother Xian has 100,000 troops in his hands, and has strong financial and material resources, it should be more than enough to deal with him, if you don't worry, I can order the Ministry of War to transfer the regiment training troops from Jiangnan Dongdao to help." ”

Pei Jun's words suddenly made Chu Xingshui's heart cold by half, he stood up and said coldly: "What does Xiangguo mean by this, do you want my family to resist Cui Qinggong?" I have 100,000 troops in Huainan, but most of them are new recruits, and it is precisely because of Xiangguo's repeated obstructions that I was able to recruit this year, and the training is only a few months, can I compete with Cui Qinggong's tiger and wolf army? As for the regimental training, the armor is incomplete and the morale of the army is scattered, even if this kind of army comes to 500,000, what is the point, not to mention that the regimental training in Jiangnan Dongdao is only 30,000 troops, I don't believe it, does Xiangguo really want Cui Qinggong to occupy the entire Jianghuai? ”

"Don't be angry! Don't be angry! Pei Jun smiled and sat Chu Xingshui down, "I'm just joking with Brother Xian." ”

He walked quickly to the map, pointed to the map on the wall with a wooden pole and said: "I have ordered 80,000 troops from Shaanxi County and Hongnong County to move east to the front line of Xinzheng and Xuchang, and ordered the 20,000 defenders of Luoyang to cooperate, if Cui Qinggong really dares to attack Huainan, these 100,000 troops will attack Huaibei from behind." ”

Speaking of this, Pei Jun put down the wooden pole and smiled confidently: "But I think the reason why Cui Qinggong attacked Huainan is actually to bet that I have no time to look east, since I have already sent troops, he will definitely not dare to act rashly." ”

Chu Xingshui pondered for a moment, then immediately stood up and thanked him: "Thank you Xiangguo for your help, I will rush back to Huainan now, if it is safe, I will try to come back before the New Year." ”

"It's good! Huainan has a virtuous brother in charge, so I can rest assured. ”

Chu Xingshui left in a hurry, Pei Jun's brows immediately furrowed, he was not dealing with Chu Xingshui, but really decided that Chen Bing warned Cui Qinggong that the area from Guangling County to Yuhang County was the richest place in the Tang Dynasty, if it was occupied by Cui Qinggong, it would be his Pei Jun's nightmare, no matter what, he would not let Cui Qinggong succeed, but he would focus on Huaibei himself, so what should Zhu Jun do in Hanzhong? Can it really only be handed over to Zhang Huan?

Pei Jun hesitated for a long time, and finally got his heart crossed, walked to the table and wrote three letters to the guards to send them out, one was to order the garrisons of Shaanxi County and Hongnong County to march east; the other is to Cui Yuan, hoping that he can consider the overall situation and send troops from Shandong to Pengjun to cooperate with his ambition to stop Cui Qinggong; And the last letter was to Zhang Huan, fully agreeing to his three conditions, hoping that he could restrain Zhu Zhu for the imperial court.

The three letters were sent, Pei Jun's heart was also a lot lighter, he returned to the map, carefully studied the situation in the Central Plains, and after looking at it for a long time, he couldn't help sighing, a Huaibei Cui Qinggong, a Huaixi Li Xilie, and a Chen Liu's Li Huaixian, these three people are all raccoon dogs, if you don't get rid of them as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will be the root of the turmoil in the Tang Dynasty in the future.

At this time, there was a slight sound of footsteps when the door opened, Pei Jun slowly turned around, and saw that Pei Danming was standing in front of the door, he couldn't help but sink his face, and reprimanded unhappily: "How did you do it?" Didn't you say that you had already bought Ma Siji? Why does Cui Qinggong still act like this? ”

Three questions were thrown out in a row, Pei Danming's face was swollen and he couldn't answer for a long time, Pei Jun glanced at him, and said coldly: "I'll give you one last chance, you go and contact Ma Sisu in person, and ask him to stop Cui Qinggong from going east, if you really can't stop it, let him delay Cui Qinggong's eastward advance, at least a month, understand?" ”

"Yes!" Pei Danming agreed, turned around and left.

"Come back!" Pei Jun drank him again, "Send someone to Fengxiang County again, keep an eye on Zhang Huan's every move for me, and report to me at any time." ”
