Coincidentally, at the same time, in the big tent in Beicheng, Hedong Gongshisheng was also holding a military meeting, and the topic only revolved around one center: the surprise attack on Xuchang. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

General Guo Quan is speaking: "...... If according to the words of the marshal, Chen Liufang has only arrived for a short time, so he doesn't want it? ”

Shi Sheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Yanzhou is already my Great Zhao territory. What is the use of guarding this old and dilapidated and short of materials? We are here, and Shi Hu has an unpleasant quarrel, although the father is never afraid of him, but if he really tears his face, it is not easy for the king to explain. Besides, the Tiger Prison is difficult to capture for a while, so let's just take the initiative to seek change, leave Chen Liu, and attack Xuchang, so as not to be entangled with Shi Hu's rammers. ”

Shi Sheng then smiled incomprehensibly: "While Shi Hu is in the dark now, let's leave suddenly, let that rammer face Liu Yao by himself, and go to the tiger prison with his own ideas, and go to the crisis alone." Hehe, Hu Yanmo didn't kill me anyway, Liu Yao will never let Shi Hu go easily, and will naturally be angry for me. ”

"Then what if Shi Hu still has five thousand stone grain and grass for us?" Another general asked.

Shi Sheng waved his hand, "I don't want it!" In Xuchang City, there are a lot of savings. Get Xuchang, do you still care about 5,000 stone grain and grass? We took the initiative to leave, and it also seemed that we were generous. In the coming day, in front of the king, my father can have the courage to impeach him, so that everyone can see which is better or worse between my father and his Shihu. - Everyone! ”

Shi Sheng raised his voice, looked around, and said, "I have made up my mind!" Leaving Chen to fight Xuchang is the only choice in front of him. Instead of sitting in the city of sorrow, it is better to find another way. Yuzhou is relatively loose at the moment, and although Xuchang has high walls and wide walls, he would never have expected that we were fighting his idea, and the defense was relatively lax. As long as we defeat Xuchang, we can open up territory for the king, and threaten Liu Yao from the heart. If Luoyang is difficult to shake at that time, let's manage Xuchang well, and then turn to attack Yingchuan and even the entire Yuzhou, which can be regarded as making new contributions! ”

Yingchuan County, to which Xuchang City belongs, belongs to Yuzhou. At that time, the state lord was the Pingxi general Zu Yue, who was the half-brother of the former state lord Zu Ti. Zuyo did not have the ability to pacify and control his subordinates, and most of the soldiers did not attach themselves to him. Previously, after Zu Ti died of illness, Hou Zhao was afraid of Zu Ti's prestige, and several tentative small-scale raids on the border of his jurisdiction, but Zu Yue could not effectively contain it, so Hou Zhao became more and more emboldened and did not take Zu Yue in his eyes.

It is also reasonable for the Lord to say this, and the generals have no objections, and they all speak and obey the order. Shi Sheng nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Okay!" Secretly told the whole army, tomorrow night to bypass Chenliu, and then quickly south, straight to Xuchang. After the city is broken, my father will drink with you again! ”

At night, Shi Hu led all 30,000 horses from Chenliu Nancheng and suddenly left the camp silently. When it was about to dawn, Shi Sheng had already received an urgent report, hearing that Shi Hu did not say goodbye, Shi Sheng was first surprised, and then heard that the scout followed the track to return the report, saying that Shi Hu was going to the southeast to attack Liang County, and breathed a sigh of relief, so he ignored him, and sent orders to his own department, stepped up preparations, and after lunch, he also left Chenliu and hurried to Xuchang.

Within a few days, Shi Sheng led his troops to the city of Xuchang, and the guards were shocked and busy defending the city. Shi Sheng then ordered the siege of the city, so more than 10,000 elite soldiers, launched a fierce attack, the soldiers were like a monkey, the arrows were like rain, although the city of Xuchang was tall, it was also beaten to the left and right for a while, embarrassed. Shi Sheng shot in the surrender letter at the right time, saying that as long as he surrendered in time to ensure that the life of the city was safe, the hearts of the people in the city would fluctuate, and even the guards began to waver.

At this moment, Shi Hu suddenly arrived with an army of 30,000. Doutou bumped into Shi Sheng who was here in advance. Shi Sheng and Shi Hu couldn't help but wonder greatly, and they hated each other, and they all rushed to attack the city without saying a word. The general of Xuchang did not know the inside story of the discord between the two stones, only that the opponent suddenly had such strong reinforcements, looking at the endless enemy army like the sea under the city, he was even more frightened and desperate, so he followed Shi Sheng's words and opened the door to surrender.

Two stones rushed in. The Jin general who defended the city, Shi Sheng was originally ready to keep his promise and not want to kill him, but he didn't prevent Shi Hu from hacking him to death first, and then ordered all the Jin soldiers and generals to be killed. So the whole city was frightened and angry, and mutinied, and all men, women, and children resisted desperately, blaming Shi Sheng on his head, and calling him a despicable man who did not believe in his words. It took a lot of effort for Zhao Jun to suppress it. Shi Sheng couldn't help but be furious, and asked Shi Hu in front of him how to compete with him for merit, and framed himself for the notoriety of dishonesty. Shi Hu disdainfully dismissed it, and even sneered at each other, saying that it was his only credit to capture Xuchang City, and said that if there was no him, it would be a fool's dream to rely on Shi Sheng's group of defeated soldiers and want to defeat Xuchang.

Shi Sheng was furious, he couldn't bear it anymore, and he took the initiative to do it. Shi Hu was waiting for him, and he just took advantage of the topic to play, not only immediately counterattacked, but even waved his troops to attack. So the two stones fought from the inside of Xuchang City to the outside of the city, and finally developed into more than 40,000 Zhao soldiers, and the internal fighting and melee were killed.

Shi Sheng and Shi Hu were both traumatized. However, Shi Sheng's forces were obviously weak, and he was unable to pounce on Shi Hu, so he had to take the lead in retreating. Shi Hu was so mad that he wanted to kill Shi Sheng to vent his anger, and personally led his troops to chase him out more than 100 miles away, but he couldn't catch up before he hated and returned. Shi was so angry that he almost wanted to faint, so he simply went straight to Xiangguo all the way, knelt down at Shi Le's feet, a handful of blood and tears, saying that Shi Hu not only deducted military rations for no reason and insulted himself, but also ignored the overall situation, relying on the large number of soldiers, snatching away the Xuchang he had worked so hard to fight, and even killing himself. He added fuel and vinegar to tears, and told a lot of evil things.

Because of Shi Hu's temperament, Shi Le couldn't help but believe it, and was furious at the moment, and transferred to Pengcheng County Gong Shikan to go to Yuzhou, lead the army in front, and clean up the mess. On the other hand, he issued an edict and ordered Shi Hu to immediately return to Xiangguo.

No matter how crazy Shi Hu was, he didn't dare to disobey Shi Le's orders. didn't wait for the handover with Shi Kan, so he had to go on the road and return to Xiangguo. When the monarch and the ministers met, Shi Hu defended in public, and his words were not inferior. Shi Le was furious, and personally whipped Shi Hu with a hundred lashes, so that Shi Hu was bleeding and almost fainted, but he was still strong and hard-mouthed, not only did he not apologize to Shi Sheng, but also resolutely refused to confess his guilt to Shi Le.

Shi Sheng took advantage of the situation to suggest that Shi Hu was rebellious and arrogant, and it was okay to despise and oppress his colleagues, and he should be executed immediately. Before Shi Le's anger subsided, he agreed, waving his hand to drag Shi Hu out of the head. Fortunately, several old ministers came up to dissuade them, saying that Shi Hu had meritorious service to the country after all, and he could be severely punished, and beheading seemed too much. In the end, the head of the ministers, the big law enforcer, and the right candidate Zhang Bin, also came up to advise Shi Le, and Shi Hu finally escaped with his life, but was put in a cage and left for his life. Because of the dispute between the two dukes and the bad influence, Shi Le also resented Shi Sheng, reprimanded him in public, and grounded Shi Sheng for three months to make him introspect.

Shi Hu Shisheng, and called Zhao Liang is handsome, with extremely rich practical experience. At present, they are both imprisoned for their crimes, so the military of Henan and Yuzhou has come to a standstill for a while. Liu Yao took advantage of the situation to wave his troops to advance, Xuchang gained and lost, and the land of Yingchuan was not available to Zhao after the recovery. And the former Zhao took advantage of the victory to get out of the tiger prison, and Chen Liu also fell. Fortunately, there is Pengcheng Gong Shikan, although it is less than two stones, but it is not a mediocre general, and he was ordered to gather his troops and retreat to Puyang, and withstood several strong attacks by Qianzhao, so as to keep Yanzhou no longer lose land. Shi Le hurriedly sent Chang Pinggong Shi Lang to lead 20,000 troops to help, so that the Later Zhao army was slightly boosted, but it could only take a defensive position, and when it came to enterprising, it was impossible for a while.

Liu Yao took advantage of the situation to advance eastward, and once occupied Eastern Yanzhou and Northern Yuzhou. And Liu Yin, the crown prince of Chang'an, also took the initiative to send troops to attack Xiyongzhou, although he was finally repelled by the Qin army, but he also plundered it before calmly retreating. Seeing that Liu Yao's former Zhao had regained momentum, Shi Le was furious, and had no choice but to release Shi Sheng and Shi Hu again, solemnly and solemnly admonish, and let the two Shi shake hands in person, swearing to put the overall situation of the country first, and then let the two of them go to the front line to lead the troops again. It's just that this time he learned a lesson and resolutely did not put the two stones in one place, so that Shi Hu sat in Puyang, took Shi Kan as his vice, dictated the Yanzhou military, and sought Luoyang from east to west; Let Shi Sheng go to capture Xuchang, with Shi Lang as his deputy, and supervise the military of Sizhou, and seek Luoyang from south to north.

But the previous situation has fallen behind, and it always takes time to surpass it. Although Liangshi is known as a hero, he is not a god after all, and after taking office, he always needs to develop and operate slowly. Therefore, the former Zhao was strong, and he still suppressed the later Zhao for a while, which made Shi Le more and more restless, eager to find a way to deal Liu Yao a heavy blow again.
