Chapter 300: Dismissal from prison
p
Just when the military situation on the Yanxu front line changed three times a day, and he was anxious to wait for support from the rear.
Sima Daozi, the assistant of the Eastern Jin Dynasty who was far away in Jiankang, not only did not think of sending troops to resist the invasion of the Hu people, but dismissed Liu Jiaozhi from his position for his own selfishness.
The crime is cowardice, and to put it bluntly, it is fear of death!
The cause of the incident was that Houyan dispatched tens of thousands of horses and horses to the south to plunder people, livestock, grain and grass, and besiege Xiaqiu.
Gaoping Taishou Xu Hanyuan sent people for 800 miles to report the urgency, asking Liu Gaozhi, who was sitting in Pengcheng, to send troops.
It is said that Liu Gaozhi has experienced a hundred battles, and there are elites such as Beifu soldiers under his command, and he was ordered to guard Huaiyin and Pengcheng, responsible for the front-line military defense of Huaibei, and has the responsibility and ability to send troops to rescue Gaoping.
Even if he had suffered a loss at the hands of Murong Chui, he would not be afraid of death and not save him.
How can it be possible to be afraid of the enemy?
Actually, there is a problem here, and there is a big problem.
As we all know, in today's Eastern Jin Dynasty, the battle between the prime minister has reached a fever pitch.
Whether it is Sima Daozi or Sima Yao, he has long lost his country, and he only thinks about fighting for power and profit.
Generally speaking, Sima Yao temporarily gained the upper hand because of his righteous position.
But Sima Daozi was unwilling, and wanted to bring down Wang Gong, Yin Zhongkan and other henchmen of the Son of Heaven.
Especially Wang Gong, this person sits in Jingkou and controls tens of thousands of Beifu soldiers, which is a great threat to Sima Daozi.
However, Wang Gong is not only the uncle of the country, but also from the Taiyuan Wang family, and his power is huge, and Sima Daozi can't defeat the other party for a while.
If you can't get Wang Gong, then cut off his arm - the Beifu Army.
So at the suggestion of his henchman Wang Guobao, Sima Daozi aimed his black hand at Liu Gaozhi, a general under Wang Gong.
According to the usual, after receiving an urgent report from the front, the imperial court directly gave an order to Liu Gao.
However, Sima Daozi played a trick, he first sent the order of the imperial court to Wang Gong of Yangzhou, and then Wang Gong gave the order to Liu Gao, the army of Beifu.
Procedurally speaking, this is correct, Wang Gong, as Liu Gaozhi's direct boss, should indeed give Liu Gaozhi an order.
But at present, the battle on the front line is so urgent, and on the battlefield, the situation is changing rapidly, where can there be a delay of a minute and a half?
In this way, the order issued by the court to send troops was forced to arrive in the hands of Liu Gaozhi two days late, so that the already very critical military situation was even more problematic.
Two days is too long for a campaign.
Faced with an irreparable situation, how could Liu Gaozhi dare to take the initiative to send him to death?
If Liu Gaozhi insisted on going to the rescue regardless of it, when the Beifu army rushed thousands of miles away, and the Houyan people waited for work, what good could the Beifu army get?
Once the loss is too large, Liu Gaozhi will not be blamed to death by the generals of Beifu after the war, how will he lead the Beifu soldiers in the future?
So, if he didn't save him when he saw death, he naturally put it on Liu Gaozhi's head.
The main general went to work, and the Beifu soldiers on the front line were leaderless, and chaos arose for a while.
As the nominal leader of the Beifu soldiers, Wang Gong had a headache about this.
There was no way, so he had to write to the court and suggest that someone be sent to clean up the mess instead of Liu Gaozhi.
Wang Gong's suggestion was agreed by the court, but it was difficult to choose a candidate.
After excluding Liu Gao, there were still some generals in the Beifu army, such as He Qian, Zhuge Kan, Gao Heng, Liu Liang, Tian Luo, and Sun Wuzhong.
However, these people have already achieved fame and lost the ambition to continue to fight on the battlefield.
and learned that the enemy was Murong Chui, so they shirked the imperial court's recruitment for various reasons.
Sima Yao, the Son of Heaven, was furious when he heard this, and personally ordered to select those who were worthy of the great task from among the younger generation and went to Xuzhou to meet the enemy.
Just when the court was in a dilemma, Wang Gong once again played the Son of Heaven and recommended Liu Yu, the general of Yingyang.
As a rising star in the army, and also a confidant of the Son of Heaven, coupled with Liu Yu's exquisiteness, Liu Yu is highly regarded by Wang Gong.
Similarly, when he saw the name Liu Yu, the Son of Heaven was also very satisfied.
Although Liu Yu is still young, after all, he is his own confidant, and he is more at ease than those thorns in the Beifu soldiers.
Moreover, the Son of Heaven originally supported Liu Yu in order to divide and disintegrate the Beifu soldiers, but now that the opportunity is in front of him, how could he not seize it?
Next, it is logical that the Son of Heaven took Liu Yu as the history of Pengcheng and led his troops north to Xuzhou to resist the invasion of the Hu people.
People are unlucky, and they will stuff their teeth when they drink cold water; If you are lucky, gold will fall from the sky, and it will fall directly into your arms.
Liu Gaozhi sat still and was smashed on the head by the catastrophe, while Liu Yuyuan smashed a big pie on his head in Jingkou.
……
When Liu Yu received the Divine Decree of the Son of Heaven, he was very surprised, and he didn't expect that good things would fall on him.
That's right! Although some people were afraid of Murong Chui and regarded going north as a dangerous path, Liu Yu was eager to lead his army north.
You must know that he has been hiding in Jingkou for a year to train troops.
In the past year, he went out early and returned late, exposed to the wind and sun, and with the assistance of Liu Huaisu and other confidants, he finally succeeded in training.
Since receiving the news that Qing Yanxu had been invaded by the Xianbei people, he was looking forward to going to the battlefield as soon as possible.
But Liu Yu also knew that even if the imperial court sent reinforcements, he would have nothing to do.
After all, he is only a junior in the Beifu army, and no matter how he comes, he will never be able to come out.
As a result, he didn't expect this good thing to fall on him in the end.
After returning to the camp, Liu Yu immediately gathered his henchmen to discuss.
When Liu Huaisu, Liu Daolin, Suo Chengming and others learned that Liu Yu was transferred to Xuzhou, they couldn't help but get excited.
Unlike the successful generals of Beifu, most of them are still white, and they need military exploits to gain fame and fortune.
Liu Yu glanced around at everyone and deliberately reminded: "Don't be too happy, this time the north is full of dangers, not only is the enemy very strong, but even your own people may pull their legs from it." ”
"Huh? Since it's so dangerous, it's better not to go. ”
"Bastard! Do you want to resist the decree? ”
was glared at by Liu Yu, and his uncle Zang Shou immediately shrank his neck, and he didn't dare to object.
Liu Yu glanced at Suo Chengming, bowed down and asked, "I don't know what the master has to say about this trip to the north?" ”
"The lord is worried that Liu Gaozhi is secretly hindering?" Suo Chengming did not answer the rhetorical question.
"Yes, Liu Gaozhi is the courage of Beifu, and his prestige is famous."
"This time I was disgraced by Sima Daozi, and I must feel uncomfortable."
"In case this person gets in the way, then our army's trip to the north will be in jeopardy."
"Actually, the lord doesn't have to worry too much, he has a plan, but Liu Gaozhi not only doesn't dare to hinder the lord, but also has to vigorously support us."
"Oh? Is it? I wish Mr. Wen a high opinion. ”
"I heard that Liu Gaozhi has a son, who is quite a father."
"When the general went to visit Liu Gao, he might as well ask Liu Jingxuan to lead the troops north."
"In this way, even if Liu Gaozhi is dismissed for his crimes, he will not anger the general because of this."
"Maybe I will look at Liu Jingxuan's face and secretly support him."
"Huh? In this way, isn't it just to share the credit to the Liu family? Liu Daolin was a little reluctant.
"You know what?! The crime of fighting a war is taboo, grabbing credit, eating alone, how can we be the opponents of Xianbei people? ”
"At this time, pulling Liu Jingxuan will not only save you from worries, but also give you one more reinforcement, why not?"
"My lord, this is a rare opportunity, if we get it right, we will jump out of the cage of Jingkou."
Hearing this, Liu Yu bowed slightly, and he also knew the deep meaning of Suo Chengming's words.
As his strength grew, Kyoguchi had gradually become a shackle that constrained his further development and growth.
In Jingkou, although the Son of Heaven and Wang Gong spared no effort to support him, but also because of the fact that under the noses of the Son of Heaven and Wang Gong, Liu Yu could not move as he wanted.
"Although Xuzhou is the front line, it seems to be full of crises, but it is actually very safe."
"Hebei Murong Chui is old and no longer ambitious, not to mention that Houyan still has the two old enemies of Western Yan and Northern Wei, so he has no time to look south."
"And this time, the reason why Murong Chui made a big southern expedition was just to make up for the loss of the western expedition."
"When the general arrives, he only needs to slightly reduce the enemy's edge and prevent him from harassing him too deeply."
"When Wei Yan fights into a pot of porridge in the future, the general can hold high the banner of the Northern Expedition and go north to recover the lost territory."
"As long as the lost territory can be regained, the general's prestige will surely increase."
"With fame and great military achievements, who else can stop the general from entering the court in the future?"
"Hahaha, Mr. has an overreputation, I don't want to think about it so long-term, I just hope that this time I can successfully defeat the invading Hulu and keep the people peaceful."
"In addition, I heard that Murong Chui is a famous general in the world, and he has been admired for a long time, and he just happened to receive the teaching."
