Chapter 19: Border Provocation
It is said that Liu Bei of the plain had to abandon the petty official of the county lieutenant after Zhang Fei whipped the post supervisor, and heard that the Son of Heaven was the champion of the Jin Yan Zhanshu for the township marquis because of his military exploits, and he was even more envious, and went north on a starry night and voted for Gongsun Zhan.
Right Beiping, in the right general's mansion, Gongsun Zhan, sitting on the main seat, Gongsun Fan, Gongsun Xu, Wang Wei, Yan Gang, Guan Jing, Zou Dan, Liu Bei sat left and right.
Looking at the military newspaper in his hand, Gongsun Zhan's eyebrows were upside down, destroying his majestic image that he was far from being angry and arrogant, and slapped it on the case: "Yan Zhanshu Xiao'er has swept away the four razes, expanded the army to 80,000, and is ready to raise troops to attack Xianbei in the north!" ”
"Brother." Gongsun Fan asked puzzledly: "Isn't it just right that he wants to kill himself, why is he angry?!" ”
"If that kid is really ready to fight again, I don't want to say anything, but!" Gongsun Zhan said angrily: "He has only been to Liaodong for a few months, just like Beikou Xianbei, he wants to go crazy for military exploits!" It's not a pity for him to die, but the tens of thousands of Han family sons under his command have to accompany this stupid pig to death! ”
"Brother," Liu Bei asked cautiously, "This champion Hou's previous record is also quite extraordinary, so he shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake, right?!" ”
"Sharp Mind Faint!" Yan Gang also took the case and said angrily: "This is a typical Liling Zhidi!" You see, as soon as the Holy Decree of canonization arrived, he immediately made great efforts and prepared to march north. ”
"This is because I feel that the townsman is not satisfied, and I want a county marquis!" Wang Yan also sneered.
"General, Jing thinks that this person should have another conspiracy!" Guan Jing said with a frown.
"What conspiracy?!" Gongsun Chan suddenly calmed down: "Yes, this person has always been scheming, how could he do a stupid thing of touching an egg against a stone!" ”
"Or, Xianbei is internally unstable at this time, and Helian succeeded to the throne, but he has not been able to subdue the kings of the tribes, so Yan Zhanshu also learned about this situation and wants to take the opportunity to break them down?!" Gongsun continued to think of some information about Xianbei that he had seen, and guessed.
"Hmm!" When Gongsun Chan heard this, he was very happy and said: "Xu'er has grown up and knows how to speculate on people's hearts, yes, this may not be nothing." However, judging from Yan Zhanshu's previous combat examples, except for the time when he was in charge of the army and the battle with our army, there were very few times when he fought to the death, and this person was extremely good at opportunism, and often succeeded in speculation. ”
"If he leads the troops to battle, maybe there will really be Xianbei tribes rushing up one by one to add fuel and be eaten by him one by one!"
"In that case, brother, can we take the opportunity to send troops, also attack a few Xianbei tribes, and capture some battle exploits?" Liu Bei's voice was clear and convincing, which made Gongsun Zan and the generals quite moved.
"Okay, then send scouts, pay more attention to the movements of Xianbei and the Liaodong Army, and be ready to send troops at any time!" Gongsun Zhan thought that he was also a hereditary marquis, and the jealousy in his heart was inevitably stronger.
Jicheng, the state pastoral office. Liu Yu was drinking with Wei You, Tian Chou, Qiu Liju, Pu Lu and others, when suddenly a Wuhuan warrior rushed in covered in blood and cried at Qiu Liju: "King, it's not good, our tribe has been attacked!" ”
"Is it the Liaodong Army?!" Plush jumped to his feet and shouted. In his mind, there were only a handful of people who dared to attack the Wuhuan tribe, and Yan Zhanshu had the most criminal records, of course, the most suspicious!
"No, it's a Xianbei white dog! I can see it clearly! The Wuhuan warrior cried: "There are too many people with Xianbei white dogs, and although the warriors of the tribe desperately resisted, in the end the whole army was wiped out, and the women, children, cattle and sheep were all plundered!" ”
"What?!" Qiu Liju's eyes kept coming, a mouthful of blood gushed up, his eyes were dark, and he fainted.
"What the hell is going on?!" Wei You said angrily: "Winter has passed, how could Xianbei raise an army against Nankou at this time?!" ”
"Newspaper-" A Han sergeant rushed in trotting with a military newspaper: "Lulongzhai urgent report, 400,000 Xianbei troops are detained, and the commander is Heliantu, the king of Xianbei East!" said that if you don't hand over Qiu Liju, the culprit who provoked the border provocation, you will break through Lulongzhai and let Ma Youzhou go! ”
"Provoking a side provocation?" Liu Yu's face turned white all of a sudden, this crime is not small, if the eunuchs in the capital learned, they were afraid that their position as the state pastor would not be guaranteed, so they grabbed the military newspaper and watched it carefully line by line, Wei You and Tian Kai also hurriedly came over to watch it together, and read it out: "Within a month, Wuhuan Qiuli invaded the territory of Xianbei in the east, killed more than 2,000 people one after another, and plundered three small tribes. ”
"Envoy, I, Qiu Liju, have never been out of the customs since I defected to the envoy, how can I dare to go to Kou Xianbei, I'm not impatient!" Qiu Liju woke up slowly, heard such terrible news, and hurriedly argued.
"That's right, combined with the situation where Qiu Liju's department was washed in Xianbei blood just now, you always feel that there is something strange in this!" Wei You pondered.
"The problem is that the Xianbei Dong King is staring at the Qiu Liju King," Pulu said anxiously, "How should we deal with it?" ”
"How to deal with it? One word, type! Tian Chou smiled contemptuously: "How can my Han have succumbed under the pressure of the barbarians, not to mention the danger of the Great Wall!" 400,000 Xianbei, even if it is the 3 million Xianbei of Tanshi Huai in the past, it will not be under the Great Wall! ”
"General Tian is mighty!" When Qiu Liju heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and praised sincerely: "It is worthy of being a kingdom!" ”
When Liu Yu heard this, he frowned, it was certain to fight, but it was a problem to transfer which troops to fight, there were not many soldiers and horses in Youzhou, and they were all scattered in a few major villages, which was also the reason why Lulongzhai was able to withstand the attack of 400,000 Xianbei and send back the military report.
"I think that the 20,000 elite cavalry of the right general Gongsun Zhan can be mobilized, his army was originally to defend Wuhuan, Ding Ling, Fuyu and other departments in the east, but Wuhuan has already surrendered, Ding Ling was also repelled by the Liaodong Army for more than 400 miles, and Fuyu and Goguryeo were even destroyed, that is to say, General Gongsun's troops have no enemy army!" Wei Youdao.
"According to this, the Liaodong Army can also be dispatched?" Pulu suddenly added.
"Yes, both of their troops are the elite soldiers of my big man, and good steel is used on the blade, and this is the time to use the soldiers!" Liu Yu's eyes lit up, Xianbei Koubian, it is righteousness, if these two people do not send troops, their reputation will be stinky from now on, if they send troops, a big battle with Xianbei, the strength will be weakened, and the internal harmony of Youzhou will obviously be much more harmonious in the future!
"Pass my order, send envoys, and urgently recruit the second army to Lulongzhai to rescue!" Liu Yu took out the seal letter, stamped it on the letter for help written by Wei You, and handed it to the messenger: "You must hand it over to the two generals and get their reply."
"Hahaha-" Xiangping, Yan Zhanshu and the generals laughed: "Fengxiao's strategy works well!" Heliantu, the king of Xianbei in the east, raised 400,000 troops, washed Qiu Liju's troops in blood, and soldiers in Lulongzhai, and asked Liu Yu to hand over Qiu Liju, it seems that even if Liu Yu can endure it again, this time he will also make a move! ”
"Where, the two generals Yu Yigen and Chi Mitu play the same role, and the two of them have worked hard." Guo Jia smiled and arched his hand towards Yu Gen and Chi Mitu, and the two generals hurriedly returned the salute.
"What do we do next?" Yan Liang asked anxiously, stepping on Fuyu, just warming up.
As soon as these words came out, all eyes focused on Guo Jia, "Next, it depends on what Liu Yu and Gongsun Chan are planning, what we have to do is wait, wait for them to start a war, wait for them to show their flaws, and wait for General Gan to find out the sea route to the north!" ”
Although Yan Zhanshu does not know the specific map, but the general shape of Northeast Asia can be drawn, according to Yan Zhanshu's map, Guo Jia has formulated a huge plan, which is extremely risky, it is simply a gamble, winning, you can break Xianbei, lose, the Liaodong army has nothing to lose!
For this reason, Yan Zhanshu hesitated for a few hours. However, after Guo Jia told him that his talent was assertive and the price was lifespan, Yan Zhanshu finally agreed to this plan, because Guo Jia did not hesitate to say: "My lord, people are inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than Hongmao, Jia's lifespan is folded on this plan for the Jingbian of the country, it is worth it!" ”
