Chapter 216: Handan Deliberations
Chapter 216: (Handan Proceedings)
Shangguan Yin Feng led the army to withdraw to Handan, and then got the news that Cheng Qingzhi had broken through Jizhou, and then, as they had guessed before, Cheng Qingzhi immediately went north to attack Hejian, but due to the continuous heavy snow in Hebei, the snow around Hejian City was not even allowed to walk, so that Cheng Qingzhi led his troops east into Cangzhou.

Shangguan Yin Feng immediately summoned Li Yanqing, and after discussing, he sent Jinyi Wei Ti to Cangzhou in disguise to warn Chai Shang, let him not go out of the wall, wait for the beginning of spring, and then go to Hejian to inform Shen Lang stationed in Hejian that he must not hold on to Hejian and not go out of the city to fight with the enemy, Cheng Qingzhi also gave up the attack on Hejian because of the weather, but went south back to Jizhou, and sent troops to attack Wuyi County, eighty miles east of Jizhou, where more than 30,000 people were stationed under Li Chengdong's department.
Handan, Wei commanded the Yamen
In the lobby, the burning of the charcoal fire made the hall warm like spring, there were many generals sitting on the left and right, and the table in front of them was just hot wine, Shen Lihua slowly walked into the hall with the support of the maid, and the generals on both sides stood up one after another, and respectfully greeted Shen Lihua and said: "See Madame"
Everyone present knew that Shen Lihua was pregnant, although she did not marry Shangguan Yin Feng, but now this relationship does not need to be explained too much, after Shen Lihua took a seat, Shangguan Yin Feng also walked into the lobby and walked towards the main seat, and the generals on both sides also called 'Lord Wang' in unison...
"Please sit down, in two days it will be Chinese New Year's Eve, last year I and others were still celebrating in the Changsha King's Palace of this king, but now I am watching the snow in Hebei, its artistic conception has changed, but fortunately, you and I are here." Shangguan Yin Feng picked up the wine glass in front of him, the wine was still hot, and then drank it all.
After three rounds of drinking, Shangguan Yin Feng began to officially enter the topic: "Now Daxue has done us a great favor and blocked Cheng Qingzhi's offensive, but he keeps sending troops to attack Li Chengdong in Jizhou, and there are also many rebels stationed outside Hejian City, what do you think now?" ”
"Lord Wang, the last general thinks that for the sake of today, it is still necessary to collect grain and grass in Hebei, it is really not possible, or to find the Marquis of Luohua Township to help, after all, after the pacification of Hebei, the prince also gave them a lot of grain, and our army is also temporarily borrowed, when the rebellion in Shandong is pacified, it will be returned." Huang Botao clenched his fists and said, that Shen Wei was made a marquis, although he was a marquis, but he was also a knight, and his status was much higher than that of ordinary people, but he didn't expect that Shen Wei could now be said to have become Shangguan Yin Feng's father-in-law, if Shangguan Yin Feng went to Shen Wei for help, Shen Wei would definitely be obliged.
Shangguan Yin Feng turned his head to look at Shen Lihua, and found that Shen Lihua was not dissatisfied with Huang Botao's words, so he looked at the generals and said: "You also know the personality of this king, although you have suffered many defeats in Liaocheng, but on the whole, our army still earns, and the loss is a big problem in grain and grass, and now the heavy snow continues, at least you have to wait for about two months, and you can do a lot of things in two months." Saying that, Shangguan Yin Feng looked at Li Yanqing, who bowed his head and was silent: "Wen Ruo, come, tell me what you think." ”
Li Yanqing was named by Shangguan Yin Feng, so he raised his head, he was thinking about something before, and he was a little distracted, but now he turned around and said very objectively: "Lord Wang, the last general is thinking about one thing." ”
Shangguan Yin Feng himself was actually thinking about something, but he liked to show off very much, but he thought that Li Yanqing's IQ was also very high, so he also asked him first.
"A few days ago, I learned that Wang Yan had found the Dayue clan and Wusun two countries, and the coalition army of 170,000 broke through Yumen Pass and Jiayu Pass, so that the Wentai army was transferred by the Tuoba clan, and Chen Dudu was also a lot easier in Zhuangzhou."
Li Yanqing's words hit Shangguan Yin Feng's heart, and it was about the same as he thought, so he asked Li Yanqing to continue.
"Previously, Wang Yan called the Tuoba clan a minister, that is, he was afraid of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, but now that he can unite the Dayue Clan and Wusun, I think Liu Xuan's side must have made a lot of effort." Li Yanqing said and looked at Shangguan Yin Feng: "The last general guesses that the mastermind behind Wang Yan's coalition this time, Bacheng is Liu Xuan. ”
Shangguan Yin Feng nodded, first affirmed Li Yanqing's statement, and then said to the generals in the hall: "The Dayue clan and Wusun were friendly with the Central Plains during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, to put it bluntly, they were friendly with the Han family, and Wang Yan reportedly surrendered to Liu Xuan, and gave Liu Xuan his life, I heard that he was also named the king of Han Liang, so the Dayue clan and Wusun will send troops, and the funny thing is that Tuoba Wenhong also joined forces with Liu Xuan to attack me before, but he was rebelled by the nest, and it is sad to think about it." Shangguan Yin Feng didn't care at all about the previous betrayal, because he knew that there were no eternal friends in the great power game, only eternal interests, and he was just the first person to be betrayed: "Now that Liu Xuan's Han army is like a rainbow, I'm afraid that the people of Xiliang are not their opponents." As he spoke, he looked at Li Yanqing and asked, "Wen Ruo, if it were you, what would you do?" But it doesn't hurt to say..."
Hearing Shangguan Yin Feng say what he said casually, Li Yanqing was a little more relaxed, but he was not full of big words, and his words were very subtle: "If it is the last general, the last will send an envoy to Shanxi to separate Liu Xuan and the Tuoba clan, and then let the Tuoba clan drag Liu Xuan from the side, so that we can free up our hands to take Shandong, and finally turn around and fight Liu Xuan." ”
"Aha..."Shangguan Yin Feng laughed loudly, Li Yanqing thought that he had said something wrong, so he hurriedly bowed his head, Shangguan Yin Feng waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Wen Ruo is really powerful, this king thinks the same, and this king has already sent an envoy to Youbeiping to contact the Wuhuan people and ask them to send food to our army." ”
It's not that others don't believe it, but Shangguan Yin Feng's words are a bit big, those ethnic minorities are people who can't afford to be unprofitable, how can they simply let them send food and send food, just when all the generals looked at Shangguan Yin Feng suspiciously, Shangguan Yin Feng showed a meaningful smile: "Wuhuan people like Central Plains women very much, and this king decided to sell those Yuan clan members who were originally going to be filled into the Jiaofang Division to Wuhuan people." ”
People for goods, this is a common situation in the frontier in ancient times, the poor people can no longer live, so they sell their daughters to ethnic minorities, those ethnic minorities usually exchange a lot of cattle and sheep skins or grassland specialties with them, and then these people sell these things to the Central Plains, so as to exchange for money or necessities.
After speaking, Shangguan Yin Feng took a deep breath, now he is not worried about Hebei, but is very worried about Nanyang, after all, Nanyang is reported to be less than 30,000 people left, and the Han army has 300,000 or 400,000, although he is not worried about grain and grass, but the lack of troops is a big problem.
Looking at Shangguan Yin Feng and looking at the snow outside the hall without speaking, Huang Wei also guessed something, so he hugged his fists and said: "Don't worry, Lord Wang, there are many capable people stationed in Nanyang, and there is Changsha Kingdom behind it, and there are still many Shenwu cannons and musket teams in the city, and the people who speak Wutang should be able to cause a lot of losses to the Han army that is besieging the city." ”
"I hope to arrive..."Shangguan Yin Feng sighed and drank the wine glass that Shen Lihua handed him.
