Chapter 14 The Liu Clan Rises Troops
Liu Yu read Liu Yilun's letter in a fit of rage, took out his sword, pulled it out violently, and then stared at it with a fierce light. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Working with a group of wolf-hearted and dog-lung people, how miserable my life is! Lu Yan Lao'er said one thing and did another, now Rongyang Zhu Wei's foothold is not stable, and he should have surrounded Rongyang in one go, and then Luoyang can be profitable. But Lu Yan Lao'er and Chongsui colluded, and Pengcheng (Chu County) could no longer provide surplus grain and grass for us to besiege the city and send reinforcements. It's better to kill back, stabilize the rear first, and then march into Rongyang before it's too late."
"The big Sikong can't be rash", the name of the speaker is Lu Guoping, who is the general of the three products under Liu Yu's account. This person is nearly fifty years old, but he is always in danger in the battlefield battles, and he has a calm atmosphere.
"Da Sikong is now the ruler of the country, his son and daughter are unspeakably noble, and there are countless soldiers and horses in Suiyang and Liangdi, and the internal instability of the first regime is not stable, and Da Sikong is seeking Luoyang sooner or later. Don't mess up because of a small can't bear it."
"Father, what General Lu said is reasonable, the current situation is chaotic and unfavorable to us, as long as we stabilize the rear, the Son of Heaven is in our hands, and then we can conquer Luoyang, Chongsui, Lu Yan and others are not worried, and at that time the momentum is huge, and the thieves will obey themselves"
Liu Yu slowly put the sword into the sheath and sighed: "Ziyue, you can fight, you are still young. How easy is it to stabilize a word? Chongsui entered the capital this time, intending to send troops to deter the imperial court, and there must be elite soldiers to accompany him when he entered the capital. If I don't care, the Son of Heaven will be shocked by him and will definitely allow him to play, and he will garrison troops to contain my prime minister and Pei garrison. Evenly matched, the strong position that my Liu clan has worked hard to manage must be completely gone. ”
"In a big word, you can't ignore it" Lu Guoping stroked his long beard, poured a bowl of wine for himself, drank it all, and talked eloquently:
"There is a way to manage it, but there is also a way to manage it. Big Sikong can't go"
"But if I don't go, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have the power of deterrence"
Liu Xiujun's great Sima Deng Yu came to besiege Luoyang for several days, and the reason why Luoyang can last is that the original regime has continuously received grain and grass, and the grain and grass have been supplied to Luoyang, so Rongyang's grain and grass will definitely be poor. The decisive battle is only in front of you, and the big boss is gone, and there is no commander in the army in the big war, which is not conducive to the war. ”
"Father, my son can go back to Pei County, and the soldiers and horses of Pei and Pei will deter the thieves! I will be able to keep my brothers and sisters and the Son of Heaven safe! ”
"But Chongsui and Lu Yan are both half a hundred years old, and they are quite scheming, you go. . . How can I rest assured?"
"Da Sikong, it is feasible for the young general to go, this time the soldiers are not planning, I have more than 30,000 troops stationed in the prime minister and Pei Liangdi, although Chongsui is prepared, it is expected that there are only a few thousand light horses, and he will not dare to move lightly. When the major general went, he not only had to unite with the Son of Heaven to veto the Xiapi garrison, but also supervised the imperial court to increase the number of hundreds of officials according to the old Han system, and used the resources of the Liu family to place people in key positions as much as possible, so that the prime minister could be contained, and it would also be convenient for the great Sikong to mobilize food and salary in front-line operations. ”
Liu Yu thought about it sometimes, and felt that only this method was more secure, so he then revised a letter to his eldest son Liu Yilun, informing him of all the things here, and even wrote a letter to the queen Liu Huizhen, informing her that for the sake of the Son of Heaven, she could never agree to the matter of Chongsui garrison. Then, he personally sent a table to the Son of Heaven, telling him that the difficulties of the Yuwai conquest were fundamentally due to the fact that the imperial court was not formal enough, there were too few officials, and the communication and handover were very unfavorable, and it was recommended to add 100 officials according to the old system.
Liu Ziyue took two letters and gave a note to the Son of Heaven, and was about to leave across the horse, but was called by Liu Yu again. Liu Yu instructed him: "If you have to use the sword and can win quickly, you must capture Chongsui, Lu Yan and their henchmen alive, and don't kill them to start a big war." If you can't win quickly, you will immediately take your brother and sister and the Son of Heaven to flee to Peijun, and someone will answer you."
Liu Ziyue asked his father: "Add 100 officials, if all parties are arguing, there is ambiguity, do you listen to your brother or listen to the Son of Heaven?"
"You must listen to the Son of Heaven on the surface, haven't you read your brother's letter? The Son of Heaven has informed your sister of the important news, and your sister has said that he will form an alliance with the Liu family. The Son of Heaven is the Liu family, and the court must respect the Son of Heaven more, don't forget that this cowherd is the son-in-law of my Liu family, you lead the army to respect the Son of Heaven, and others have to respect. ”
"The kid wrote it down!"
Liu Ziyue went into battle lightly, arrived in Pei County after one day, ordered his subordinates to mobilize 30,000 elite soldiers, and then did not rush into the capital, and sent a reliable person to Chu County with a letter first. Thinking about the time, according to his brother's letter, Chongsui still has two days to reach the capital. I led the troops first, and I was afraid that Chongsui and Lu Yan would be in a hurry. Thinking about staying for one more day, the next morning I was bored, and I was drinking and entertaining with my subordinates, when suddenly a guard came to report:
"The major general is not good! Chongsui entered the capital in advance! ”
"What?! Is the message reliable? ”
"It's true, the flying cavalry sent by the Ministry of War came to pass it, just outside the big tent, and the general can personally summon and inquire if he doesn't believe it."
"Let him in!"
Only then did Liu Ziyue realize that he was too upright. Chongsui arrived in Chu County a day early, didn't even see the face of the Son of Heaven, and went directly to the Prime Minister's mansion. Then, without a moment's delay, the Prime Minister's Mansion issued an official document, and the officials and generals of the third rank and above in the national capital will discuss the meeting in the main hall of the palace tomorrow morning. Liu Ziyue asked about the soldiers and horses brought by Chongsui, and the soldiers who reported told him that there were 3,000 cavalry in the soldiers and horses who followed into Chu County, and this number was accurate, because it was the food and accommodation personally arranged by the military department. There are still some soldiers and horses outside the city, and the big Situ order is temporarily subsumed into the old department of Mengluo in the south of the city, and Mengluo is responsible for the placement, and the number is unknown.
Liu Ziyue calculated the time, and now set off to reach Chu County non-stop at noon tomorrow, in a hurry, he urgently ordered 10,000 cavalry to go with him, and 20,000 infantry led by a partial general, and try to arrive at the national capital as soon as possible. On Pegasus, Liu Ziyue was anxious, he thought that the letter to his brother and sister should have arrived, and the letter asked his sister to persuade the Son of Heaven to stick to his position and not to garrison troops in Xiapi, and told him that Liu's heavy troops would arrive before the court meeting. And at the moment, I may not be able to come in time. At that time, the Son of Heaven thought that there were heavy troops on the side of the court, and he held his position and did not allow the Chongsui garrison to go down, if he provoked Chongsui and Lu Yan, he might cause trouble, and if it was like this, his brothers and sisters would probably not be spared.
"Where's the Captain of the Protectors?"
"The last general!"
"You go to Suiyang quickly, Pegasus informs your father, and says that Chongsui will enter the capital one day in advance, so arranged, I'm afraid there will be trouble, tell my father, I have rushed to Chu County non-stop, please don't fight with Zhu Wei at this time, send someone to understand the situation in Chu County at any time, and prepare to lead the army back to the capital to quell the chaos, you prepare more war horses, Marshall people will not stop, there will be a lot of hard work all the way, the stakes are very high, there must be no mistakes!"
"Command! The general can rest assured that he will go forward, and the last general will return to Suiyang! ”
