Chapter 376: Reported According to the Truth
It turned out that Gao Yue had actually been paying attention to the war in Bingzhou, and seeing that the situation might change, he had already planned to send troops to help without waiting for Yang Tao to ask for help. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 But at that time, the West had already had a change, dominating the Tuyuhun Kingdom in Qinghai, and the founding monarch Murong Tuyuhun died of illness not long ago, and his eldest son Murong Tuyan succeeded him. Originally, there was nothing to say, but Murong Tuyan was in power and ambitious, and he actually had friction with Liangzhou over the ownership of a small tribe somewhere on the border, and he did not give in and then clashed.
Soon, the two sides met each other, and in the south of Xiping County, they fought fiercely, and engaged more than ten times before and after. Although Liang Jun did not suffer a loss, Zhang Jun thought that the matter was important and he had to report to Gao Yue in detail. Gao Yue had previously sent a sacrifice to Tuyuhun, and after receiving Zhang Jun's urgent letter, he sent a special envoy with a will, so that Murong Tuyan and Zhang Jun would temporarily suspend their troops and stop their troops, and the good students would negotiate and deal with it.
Zhang Jun did not dare to disobey his will, and took the initiative to withdraw his troops for thirty miles, waiting for the instructions of the imperial court. However, Murong Tuyan expelled the Qin envoy and replied with a letter of disrespectful words, asking Gao Yue to be the emperor of Qin and not to take care of the affairs of his Tuyuhun Kingdom. After Gao Yue got the report, of course he was furious, so he ordered Deng Heng, the general of Zhenbei, to be the main general, Yang Jiantou, the general of Pingnan, and Li Hu, the general of Pingbei, to lead 20,000 troops to Liangzhou in the west to help Zhang Jun conquer Tuyuhun.
As soon as the war broke out in the west, Qinzhou, Xiazhou and other places should strengthen their vigilance, and Xiazhou Mu Fan Sheng was in charge of defense matters and could not form a strong reinforcement. The area around Jingshi is in a state of strict defense, although there are 30,000 strong forbidden troops, they cannot send troops to rescue Yang Tao. After thinking about it, Gao Yue adopted Han Yong's suggestion and urgently ordered Shengzhou Hu Song to lead his army south, making sure to protect Yang Tao.
coincided with the defeat of Shanglei Qizhi and retreated to the city, and went north to Shengzhou alone to ask for help. Hu Song immediately mobilized the Shengzhou army and prepared to dispatch troops quickly. But when it comes to the actual situation, many generals suggested that it was better to take the opportunity to send troops to Hebei and attack Zhao proper, so as to break down the pressure of friendly troops in the state, and force Shi Hu to withdraw his troops and save the roots.
However, Hu Song thought repeatedly about the overall situation, and finally rejected the majority of the proposal. On the surface, Shi Hu may withdraw his troops because of the attack on Hebei, but Shi Hu is not an idle person after all, in case he ignores it, but instead increases his strength, attacks and kills Yang Tao, then compared with the two, it must be the Qin army that is frustrated.
Because Shi Hu went out on the expedition and took away the elite soldiers, but the remaining army of Zhao State still had as many as fifty or sixty thousand, although it was in a dormant state of defense, but the local area was attacked, and in the city of Xiangguo, the capital of Zhao, the veterans who followed Shi Le in the past, such as Kui'an and Taobao, were still there, and most of the Shengzhou army could not fight quickly and achieve victory.
If Yang Tao is killed in battle or even captured, it will deal a huge blow to the morale of the Qin army in the north and south, making the next situation even more difficult. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the Shengzhou army wins in Hebei, but the lost territory, Shi Hu is likely to regain it in the future, but if the Qin army loses Yang Tao, how can people be resurrected after death? And if the Shengzhou army loses its rescue target, the operation will fall into a situation of advance and retreat, and when the time comes, whether to continue to forcibly attack Hebei, or to recover and merge the state, or to retreat back to Shengzhou, will become dazed and unpredictable.
Therefore, only by going south to rescue Yang Tao can we quickly solve the chaotic situation and not fall into passivity. Hu Song overrode public opinion, personally led an army of 40,000 to the south, ordered the capital to protect Li Feng as the forward, after the whole army bypassed Jinyang City, Jiaocheng almost without a fight, and then with a thunderous momentum, swooped towards Shihu's Zhao army, and finally overcame the strong enemy and completed the aid task.
Yang Tao, who said this, nodded again and again, sighing with emotion. Hu Song beckoned from afar, summoned Li Feng to come closer, and said to Yang Tao: "This time, our army went deep into the state, and advanced quickly, it was General Lai Li who drove the army forward, bravely took the lead, and this prince could immediately push forward." His Majesty once praised General Li as the best of generals, and he was honest. Fu Jun! Come and see you. ”
Yang Tao immediately expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Li Feng. Li Feng was busy returning the salute, his status was less than Yang Tao, although he did save the other party, but he didn't dare to take it seriously and accept his worship calmly, and he also respectfully returned the salute at the moment, and said straight Yang Tao was too polite, and the family didn't have to say two words.
After saying a few more words, Yang Tao said earnestly to Hu Song: "The lower officials were ordered to ask for the north, but I really didn't expect it to be like this. Now that he is defeated, his morale is low, and his officials are in chaos, he is really unable to command and plan anymore. Fortunately, Sheng Gong is here, our army has the backbone of the general, during the war, no matter how big or small, please Sheng Gong has full authority to control all the soldiers and horses before and after, in order to negotiate the holy will, to calm the army's heart. ”
Not to mention anything else, just when it comes to military positions, it is only natural that Hu Song commands all the Qin troops here. Hu Song was humble and humble, and he should inherit it, saying that he had ordered Lei Qizhi to guard the lost and recovered Jiaocheng, and now Shi Hu has fled, and the Qin army's road to the north is unimpeded, and the top priority is to take advantage of the situation to take Jinyang, and then slightly determine the entire annexation of the state.
Below Yang Tao, the generals had no objections, so after a short rest, tens of thousands of Qin troops quickly pulled out and rushed towards Jinyang.
Luoyang. Palace.
In the imperial study, although Gao Yue was dressed in casual casual clothes, he sat upright, and he did not look lazy because he was in an informal setting. Under the table, Li Songnian, the commander of the internal government, was given a seat by Gao Yue, but he was next to half of his buttocks, and he was respectfully making a series of reports.
“…… Therefore, General Yang ordered General Yao to be beheaded in public, and punished him severely for the crime of putting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in a dangerous place. Later, His Royal Highness personally asked for forgiveness, and asked the generals for help, and General Yang pardoned General Yao's capital crime, punished him with a heavy rod, and imprisoned him in a cage before sending him back to Luoyang. ”
"I know." Gao Yue hummed and said, "A few days ago, Yao Xiang was sent to the capital. After I found out, I was still very puzzled, but after watching Yang Tao's recital, I knew about this incident. Now that you're saying the same, it's true. ”
Gao Yue changed his tone and said with a smile: "Yang Tao escorted Yao Xiang here, but he actually did it for me to see. I handed over the prince to him for training, most of him couldn't sleep well, as a result, Yao Xiang was young and vigorous, and took the prince to the front line, Yang Tao must have been scared, for fear that I would blame him for looking down on the prince, but I was worried that if I really killed Yao Xiang, I would also be unhappy, so I simply didn't deal with it myself, and sent it to me, hehe, this is the careful thinking of the companion like the tiger, I actually know it. ”
Secretly saying that he was also a person from the past, Gao Yue took a sip of tea, and said, "Yang Tao is too careful." Actually, I didn't blame him. Although the prince was recalled to Luoyang by me in advance, he jumped down from the battlefield, his words and deeds have really changed, and even his temperament has become more mature, which is a good thing, I am very happy! What I want is to temper and feel the real guns, otherwise, what is the benefit of going through the motions and engaging in some fake tricks? ”
Li Songnian hurriedly said with a smile: "Your Majesty's Shenwu Tianzong is not a mortal. After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a true dragon seed, and he is also talented, but he is a little younger now, but as long as His Majesty adjusts a little, the Crown Prince will definitely be the second only Holy Monarch of His Majesty in the future, and it is not more than enough to be a master of the order. ”
Sitting in this position, I can't listen to the flattery every day. When the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no fugitives. As a superior, you can't help but give your subordinates the opportunity to show loyalty, if it is too overkill, it will make people's hearts gradually disperse.
Gao Yue waved his hand, smiled, and asked again about the current situation in the state. In fact, Hu Song's war report has already been sent, but Li Songnian's internal office, many secret agents are being ordered to carry out activities in Bingzhou, and all kinds of reconnaissance, espionage, lurking, and so on, have collected all kinds of information, and I don't know how much more detailed it is than a single war report. After summarizing all kinds of information, Gao Yue was able to grasp all the news he wanted to grasp as quickly as possible and to the greatest extent - the so-called eyes and ears, Li Songnian was no different.
After hearing this, Gao Yue frowned and said angrily: "Shi Kan is hateful!" He dared to wag his tail and beg for mercy while obeying Shi Hu's call and designed to frame our army. This kind of despicable and immoral villain must not stay! I immediately sent an envoy to tell Hu Song, after the destruction of Jinyang City, no matter whether Shi Kan surrendered or not, he would be immediately beheaded and not forgiven, in order to set an example, do you say okay? ”
Li Songnian left his seat and kowtowed: "The minister is the eyes and ears of His Majesty's minions, specially designed for His Majesty to probe the hidden situation in the world, and then report it according to the truth." As for military affairs, there are generals who plan and plan, and if they are not ministers, they can discuss it casually, please forgive your majesty. ”
Gao Yue sighed, a little surprised, but at the same time, he also appreciated Li Songnian for being able to stay sober and know his position at any time. "It's good that Qing can be so vigilant and self-disciplined. It's me who embarrassed Qing, get up, and sit and talk again. ”
Li Songnian won the praise, and his heart was happy, but he didn't climb up the pole and flaunt himself too much, knowing the beauty of the point, after thanking him, he turned around: "There is another matter, the minister has not known it for a long time, but I want to congratulate Your Majesty." The minister's subordinates sent a report in Liaodong, saying that Princess Dongning had just given birth to a son more than ten days ago, and he was His Majesty's nephew. ”
Hearing that Luomei gave birth, Gao Yue was also very curious and happy, picked up the teacup and poured a few sips, and said with a smile: "Oh? Good. Princess Dongning is my sister-in-law, and her son, of course, is my nephew, and this is a good thing. Hehe, what did Murong Hao say? Has the child ever given a name, and if not, ask him if he wants a name? ”
"Back to Your Majesty. King Yan was also very happy. However, I heard that he has a group of wives and concubines, and he has already had three sons and seven daughters before, so Tianzi is a normal thing for him. However, King Yan has personally named the child, called Murong Ke, the word Xuan ......"
"Poof!"
Gao Yue squirted out a sip of tea, completely unable to control his gaffe. Although Li Songnian was extremely strange in his heart, he still pretended not to see anything, stepped forward as usual, wiped the wet table with his robe sleeve, and then lowered his head and returned to his seat.
The military god Murong Ke, the word Xuangong, the fourth son of Murong Hao, and his biological mother Gao. Gao Yue's mouth was half open in surprise, and he was speechless for a while. At this moment, he didn't know if he had made history or if history had created him.
