Chapter 353: Various stalemates
And the other deputy envoy, named Luo Dahai, just listened quietly all the time, didn't speak, and nodded frequently most of the time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoHe's a strange face, and half of the people here don't quite know what the sacredness is. He used to be the deputy head of the Yangzhou branch of the internal ya, and he had been lurking in Jiankang for a long time, and he was very low-key, but it is said that he was very good at secretly investigating and spying and other means, and some people said that Li Songnian was able to bring down Feng Liang, relying on him to make a lot of efforts, and some even said that Luo Dahai was actually Li Songnian's cronies and old friends for many years.
Li Songnian pressed his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and said: "Everyone gets together, Yu Gong is a colleague, and Yu Zhi is also a close comrade-in-arms, this kind of fate is not easy, I don't want anyone to commit something in the future, and in a blink of an eye, he will change from his own person to an enemy who has to be eliminated." Therefore, I hope that you can all be honest and do things, and always maintain the heart of self-denial and dedication, which is the third meaning of this seat. ā
"Finally, I would like to conclude with a word." Li Songnian's eyes suddenly became sharp, and after a while, he said: "Thanks to the king's love, let this seat manage the internal government, even so, this seat has to do its best to do its own errands well, so as not to disappoint the king." This seat does not disappoint the king, and neither do you. On one's mind! Whoever wants to disappoint this seat, this seat makes him despair! ā
"Well, that's it. Time is pressing, after the meeting is adjourned, everyone will deal with the personal matters at hand, and rush to their respective posts tomorrow morning at the latest. The environment is harsh and the task is difficult, and I sincerely wish everyone to pay attention to safety while making contributions, and look forward to seeing each other again on the triumphant day. Everyone, do your best!
After everyone dispersed, the two deputy envoys naturally stayed one more step. Li Songnian looked at Kuai Laosan, eased his complexion a little, and said earnestly: "Third brother! Now the burden of leading the internal government has been handed over to you and me. I haven't slept peacefully for days, and I always want to do something in my place, and I have to do my job well no matter what. But after all, my ability is limited, and Deputy Envoy Luo has the strength, but after all, he also suddenly ascended to a high position, and there is still a process. And the third brother is the senior old man of our internal government, and his skills and experience are excellent, so I hope that the third brother will give more guidance and help! ā
Luo Dahai also stood up and politely saluted Kuai Laosan, saying that although he was also a deputy envoy, he was a backward person, and he hoped that Kuai Laosan would take care of him.
"How does a family talk to each other? Du Shuai and Deputy Envoy Luo don't have to be so polite. Kuai Laosan was busy and humble, and then said: "Don't wait for the commander to ask, the lower official is about to tell you." Now, my internal government has fallen into a trough, how many pairs of eyes are staring at us, and because Feng Liang has offended too much, some people even wish that our internal government would go out of business. And although the king wants us to rectify our internal affairs first, he should also hope that we can establish new achievements in order to block the mouths of Youyou. Therefore, the dark line that Xia Guan had planted in Zhao State in the past can be activated here, thereby reducing the pressure on our army for a period of time. ā
Luo Dahai said in a low voice: "Now, Shi Sheng of Zhao State has repeatedly come to the realm, and he is the most restless. Did Deputy Envoy Kuai say that he wanted to get rid of him secretly? ā
Kuai Laosan shook his head lightly: "Everyone in the world says that my internal government is good at assassination. Although this is true, in fact, when it comes to it, the assassination is as simple as the rumors in the market! It is not easy to cultivate a killer who has excellent mind, means, observation and courage, not to mention, most of the time, often everything is ready only to owe the east wind, that is, it is never possible to find the right time to operate, the situation is changing rapidly, and the opportunity is indeed fleeting, so the success rate of assassination is actually very low, and the higher the status of the target, the more difficult it is to get started. ā
"Therefore, the assassination must either not be moved, or the killer must be exchanged for the greatest benefit! Shi Sheng is also a famous general with a prominent position in Zhao, which is extraordinary. But for example, if a big tree is cut off from its branches and leaves, it will grow again in a short time, and only by digging up its roots can it be considered a complete end. So my target this time is not just Shi Sheng, my target is directly Zhao Wang Shile! ā
Li and Luo were both taken aback. Kuai Laosan smiled mysteriously and said: "My insider is definitely a reliable candidate, and he has been dormant for several years, and now he has won the trust of Shi Le." Although activating him will eventually put him in mortal danger, exchanging Shi Le's life with a killer is simply a matter of small profits. Once Shi Le died, Zhao Guo would inevitably fall into confusion, and in any case, within half a year to a year, it would be impossible to take care of external affairs, so our army could pull out its hands and deploy the next effective countermeasures in an orderly manner. ā
Li Songnian pondered for a moment, and said with some excitement: "King Zhao will die at the hands of my internal government, how can this be a great achievement, it is simply an earth-shattering feat!" Well, the third brother's big stroke, sure enough, if it doesn't make a sound, it is already a blockbuster! Come, let's plan carefully in person, if there is anything that needs to be assisted, this seat should fully support! ā
In Luoyang City, the general Guo Quan stepped into the Mu Mansion in a few steps, met Shi Sheng in person, and said with a stern face: "Yu Dashuai, the latest news from Chang'an, Gao Yue personally cleaned up the internal government, Feng Liang is finished, and Yan Sen is also dead." ā
Yan Sen is a close confidant of Feng Liang of the Inner Palace, and he was secretly co-opted by Shi Sheng's idea not long ago, and was about to get in touch with Feng Liang again through him, but both of them fell. Now, all kinds of expenses in the past are counted as running accounts, so it can be regarded as a waste of effort in the bamboo basket.
Shi Sheng thought for a long time, and then frowned and said: "Our line seems to be broken, and Chang'an has no eyes and ears for us for the time being." But it doesn't matter, let's change the goal, we can start from the other side...... In this way, you go and arrange it like this, and as soon as you have the opportunity, you can do it immediately! ā
And said that at the end of the third year of Taining, Emperor Sima Shao was seriously ill and died soon after, at the age of twenty-seven. The crown prince Sima Yan succeeded to the throne, at the age of five, and was assisted by seven ministers, including Situ Wang Dao, a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and Yu Liang, a relative of the new noble, but at this time, all government affairs of the court were decided by Yu Liang's final decision.
Yu Liang was the uncle of Emperor Sima Yan. After he came to power, he changed the lenient style of the former Wang Dao and changed to a stern and urgent method, and Yu Liang himself was pretentious, and often did not listen to all kinds of advice, which led to great disappointment. In the imperial court, the king of Nanton, Sima Zong, and other powerful people were dissatisfied; Outside the imperial court, strong feudal lords such as Yuzhou Thorn Shi Zuyo, Jingzhou Thorn Shi Tao Kan, and Liyang Inner Shi Su Jun were even more resentful, and the government and the opposition were once in chaos.
Although Gao Yue had been at odds with the first emperor Sima Shao, and in the later period, he had no contact with the imperial court, but when the letter of the national funeral came, Gao Yue still mourned and sacrificed with the courtesy of the ministers in accordance with the specifications of the feudal town, and returned the favorites. When the imperial edict returned, he praised Gao Yue in his words, which was comforting. Gao Yue was very happy, and in order to further take the initiative to break the ice, he sent an envoy to Jiankang to present various ceremonies in person to convey the sincere intentions of King Qin.
Soon, the envoy returned to Chang'an and presented Gao Yue with a private secret letter from Yu Liang, the actual ruler of the imperial court, but he asked Gao Yue for the jade seal of the country, and hinted that if he did not give it, then Gao Yue would undoubtedly be rebellious and would not be tolerated by the court and even the world. Gao Yue immediately became angry, and did not reply in a word, cut off all contacts with Jiankang, and secretly ordered Liangzhou Assassin Shi Xie Ai, who was stationed in Xinye, to find an opportunity to attack Jingzhou at any time, and there was no need to worry about it.
On the southwestern Liangzhou side, the military supply was barely self-sufficient at best, but in the Central Plains and the north, the Qin state had to take a defensive position. In the final analysis, because of the problem of materials and food, logistics and supplies cannot keep up, so they cannot take the initiative to attack. During this period, Gao Yue specially summoned Cao Mo to inquire about professional matters. Cao Mo has been active in the field for a long time, and now his hair is whiter, more and more vicissitudes, but his mental outlook is still vibrant, he is still optimistic about the current embarrassing situation, saying that this is only a temporary problem, the agricultural affairs of the Hetao are quite prosperous, the foundation is good, but the previous years of war were too frequent, the supply is less than demand, so that the inventory balance is tight. He promised Gao Yue that as long as he was given two years to relieve, he would be able to fill the treasury at that time.
Therefore, at the moment, Gao Yue once wanted to attack Luoyang but could not get it. Later, Zhao looted and collected grain from Hebei, Jianghuai, Northeast and even Bingzhou, and after occupying Luoyang, he obtained a lot of property that the former Zhao did not have time to take away, and the supply was sufficient for a while. Shi Le repeatedly asked Gao Yue for the national treasure seal, both soft and hard, but could not, so he was resentful, and ordered Sizhou Mu Shisheng to frequently raise troops to the west, attacking one after another, the Qin army only relied on Tongguan inside, and relied on Huxian County, Hongnong County outside, Lei Qizhi and Wu Xia tried their best to defend and contend to ensure that Chang'an was safe.
But Shi Zhao couldn't do his best to conquer Chang'an. In addition to the hidden dangers in the northeast, the warlord Xu Niche in Qingzhou, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the south, one of the main reasons is that the Qin State in the north Shengzhou kept sending troops to the south to attack and harass, which also involved a large part of the energy of the Zhao State.
Qin Shengzhou assassinated Shi Hu Song, although he was unable to launch a large-scale expedition, but deliberately invaded the south, often a small group of light horses, rushing back and forth, harassing the county and sweeping the townships, specifically looting materials to move away the population, and then Zhao and the Yanmen County area, there was no peace. Later Zhao and Mu Shikan also sent troops to resist and even planned to enter the Daidi to retaliate, but Hu Song's strategy was to never face the battle head-on, often you come and I leave, and there is no purpose in taking the enemy around. Later, if the Zhao army entered the territory of Shengzhou, Hu Song relied on the geographical advantage to set up ambushes everywhere to cut off the water source and grain route of the Zhao army, and most of the stones returned in vain, which was a headache. Later, following the advice of the staff, he simply broke it into pieces, sent many groups of soldiers, infiltrated the territory of Daidi, killed herdsmen and plundered cattle and sheep, and confronted Shengzhou-for-tat.
Therefore, in the current situation, Shi Zhao and Gao Qin, one of them is holding back his strength and wants to completely defeat the other party with one punch, but the other party has a strong defense and can't find a place to start; The other is under the surface of the tight defense, trying to quickly recuperate and accumulate strength, and then suddenly explode and kill the opponent with a fatal blow.
