Chapter 615 Alliance
A moment before dawn. The battle between the pen and the fun pavilion www.biquge.info Gaojibo also stopped with the rising of the sun, and the "Xia" military flag that was still hanging high on the Gaojibo cottage yesterday was now replaced by a "Xue" military flag! Inside and outside the cottage, there was a smell of blood everywhere, which was enough to prove how tragic the battle was last night!
In fact, although the Xue family's army attacked Gaojibo at night and caught the Xia army by surprise, the Xia army under Dou Jiande was not comparable to the soldiers and horses under Gao Shida back then. After the initial chaos, the Xia army, who had undergone strict training, had always resisted stubbornly, even if Liu Ya finally announced his surrender, only a small number of people surrendered with Liu Ya, and most of them still fought to the death! In the end, there were less than 1,000 Xia troops who surrendered, and all the rest died in Gaojibo! And for this reason, although the Xue family army is elite, it is also a soldier and horse that has lost more than 2,000 people, which is also greatly unexpected by the commander of the Xue family army who led the troops to attack Gaojibo this time, and Xue Wanshu, the eldest of the Xue family brothers!
In the Juyi Hall on Gaojibo, this used to be the place where Hebei Haojie Zhang Jin said to meet the heroes, and later Gaojibo was taken by Dou Jiande, and it has not been changed here, and it has become the main place for deliberations in the army. The four brothers of the Xue family are all sitting in the hall at the moment, but none of the four of them are sitting on the main seat, but the one sitting on the main seat is a slightly thin man, wearing a cyan coat, looking at the Xue family brothers with a smile.
Xue Wanshu, the eldest of the Xue family brothers, glanced at the man, and then said, "Lord Liu! Now that Gaojibo has been taken, and Dou Jiande's grain and grass are also here, dare to ask adults, what should we do next? β
The man gently stroked the beard on his chin, bowed his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Several young generals Xue are brave and brave, which is really an eye-opener for the lower officials!" Unexpectedly, General Xue is a famous general in the world, and the four young generals are also tigers and wolves! Hehe! It's really a tiger father without a dog! Xia Guan really admires! Admire! β
"Lord Liu is polite!" Hearing that, the other party did not answer his question directly, but suddenly praised the four of them, first of all, Xue Wanche, the fourth who had the most no city government, laughed, but the other three were not so heartless. Xue Wanshu frowned, first responded to the other party's praise, and then said: "Lord Liu, my father has instructed us to obey Lord Liu's arrangement before!" Now that Gao Jibo has been taken as Lord Liu said, what should I do next, please let Lord Liu make it clear! β
"Huh! The Major General is polite! After hearing Xue Wanshu's words, the man also squinted his eyes and laughed, and then said, "Actually! Xia Guan was also ordered by King Liang this time to contact General Xue! General Xue is dedicated to the country and guards Hebei, which can be described as a high level of hard work! The prince has asked the Son of Heaven for the credit of General Xue! When the time comes, Old General Xue will have an additional title of King of Zhenbei, and it is not impossible! β
If he were someone else, he would definitely be overjoyed to hear that his father was able to become the king, but the Xue family brothers were not ordinary people after all, and they always kept calm, looking at the man, staring at him with a pair of eyes, waiting for the other party's answer. Obviously, this man avoided answering Xue Wanshu's questions twice, which had already aroused the dissatisfaction of the Xue family brothers!
For the dissatisfied gaze of the Xue family brothers, the man didn't care at all, but said with a smile: "A few young generals! Don't worry! We took down Gao Jibo and took Dou Jiande's grain and grass, which is equivalent to controlling Dou Jiande's lifeline! Dou Jiande will definitely return to the division to attack Gao Jibo! Therefore, what the next few major generals have to do is to hold Gaojibo, and at the last moment, ensure that these grains and grasses will not fall back into Dou Jiande's hands! β
When he said this, the man gritted his teeth slightly, and aggravated the tone of the last sentence, and after hearing these words, the Xue family brothers immediately understood what he meant. It is clear that the Xue family brothers want to guard the high chicken park, if they can't keep it, they will burn the grain and grass in the high chicken park!
Hearing the other party's words, the Xue family brothers couldn't help but gasp, although now the world is temporarily calm, and those natural disasters are gradually leaving. But in the homes of ordinary people, there is still a lack of food! Although the grain and grass in this high chicken park is not as much as that of Luokoucang, it is enough to maintain the food supply of the entire Hebei people for a year! And the person in front of him actually said lightly, and let the Xue family brothers burn so much grain and grass! This heart is ruthless enough!
The third Xue Wanjun was a little unswerving, and said: "How can you listen to Lord Liu's words, it seems that our brother is not very confident in guarding this high chicken park?" As soon as Xue Wanjun's words came out, the other three Xue family brothers all turned pale and turned their heads to glare at the man!
The man smiled, he didn't take Xue Wanjun's question to heart, and said with a smile: "Don't misunderstand, young general, it's not that the lower officials underestimate your ability!" It's just that this high chicken is too important to Dou Jiande! If Dou Jiande knew that Gao Jibo was lost, he would definitely pour all his troops to take it! As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of just in case, it is better to be prepared for everything! After all, this matter is related to the plan of King Liang and General Xue, and there can be no mistakes! β
As soon as the other party said this, the faces of the Xue family brothers finally improved a lot, and then the boss Xue Wanshu said with a puzzled face: "Lord Liu! Didn't we send troops this time to eradicate Dou Jiande? Now that the main forces of our Xue family's army have all been transferred to Gaojibo, and my father doesn't have too many troops, we don't move in Gaojibo, how can we get rid of Dou Jiande? Could it be that King Liang wants to send troops to Hebei? The last time my lord discussed with my father, didn't I say that the alliance between our Xue family army and King Liang could not be known to the outside world? If King Liang sent troops to Hebei, wouldn't everyone in the world know about the alliance between the Xue family army and King Liang? β
The man always kept smiling, but he avoided answering Xue Wanshu's question, just shook his head and said, "Please wait patiently for a few young generals!" When the time comes, Xia Guan will naturally tell several major generals to know! β
"Lord Liu!" Xue Wanshu, the second child who had been silent before, snorted, her face was full of anger, their Xue family army had worked hard for so long, but the other party still refused to reveal a word of truth, how could they not be angry! Immediately, Xue Wanshu shouted: "Our Xue family is loyal to the Great Sui!" The Son of Heaven issued a secret decree, from the father of the family to our brothers, and the Xue family did not complain! Now we just want Lord Liu's truthful words, can't Lord Liu even meet this request for our brother? β
This man is none other than Liu Wenjing, the strategist under Wan He! This time, Liu Wenjing came to Hebei on behalf of Wan He to contact Xue Jiajun, firstly, to cover up Wan He's absence in Luoyang, and secondly, to decide to take action against Dou Jiande and get rid of this hidden danger in the north! Of course, Dou Jiande's strength is stronger than Luoyang's soldiers and horses, and it is impossible to get rid of Dou Jiande with Luoyang's soldiers and horses alone! Therefore, as soon as the eldest grandson Wuji and other strategists discussed this, they decided to unite with the Xue family army under the veteran Xue Shixiong to attack Dou Jiande before and after! Of course, in addition to Xue Shixiong, the eldest grandson Wuji also arranged another secret chess, but now it is inconvenient to explain it to the Xue family brothers!
With Liu Wenjing's intelligence, there could have been a better way to appease the Xue family brothers, but he chose a method that made the Xue family brothers extremely dissatisfied, and it was not without reason! Since Liu Wenjing got in touch with Xue Shixiong, he found that Xue Shixiong's loyalty to the Great Sui far exceeded his previous expectations with his eldest grandson Wuji! If you want to reuse Xue Shixiong, I'm afraid that in the end, Xue Shixiong is grateful to Yang Gao instead of Wan He, plus the change in Luoyang that happened not long ago, Liu Wenjing also realized that if you let it go, the Xue family will raise tigers sooner or later!
But the problem is that to get rid of Dou Jiande, the Xue family is an indispensable force, especially the courage of the Xue family brothers, if they can't take it for their own use, they will become Wanhe's henchmen in the future! Therefore, Liu Wenjing can only find a way to slowly transform the Xue family's loyalty to Da Sui into loyalty to Wanhe, which is the best result! And Xue Shixiong is a veteran of the Great Sui, and his loyalty to the Great Sui cannot be changed, so Liu Wenjing's idea is to hit these four young Xue family brothers!
Hearing Xue Wanshu's question, Liu Wenjing was secretly happy in his heart, but there was a trace of helplessness on his face, and he said to Xue Wanshu: "The young general is angry!" This, this, the lower officials are also embarrassed! This matter is not deliberately concealed by the lower officials, nor is it that King Liang refuses to tell each other, it is really that King Liang and the lower officials have unspeakable secrets! Now in Luoyang, although King Liang has full authority to assist the Son of Heaven in name, but the Son of Heaven is young after all, and there are some things that King Liang can make suggestions to help the Son of Heaven take care of, but there are some things that King Liang is not easy to interfere with! β
As soon as Liu Wenjing complained like this, the anger on Xue Wanshu's face subsided slightly, but the fourth Xue Wanche asked with a puzzled expression: "King Liang is in a high position in the court, what is it difficult to interfere in?" Could it be that there are still people in Luoyang City who dare to resentful of King Liang's intentions? β
"Fourth brother!" Although Xue Wanche's words were true, they were heartfelt, and Xue Wanche was too unwilling to speak frankly. Hearing Xue Wanche's words, the boss Xue Wanshu's face also changed, and he immediately scolded him.
But Liu Wenjing showed a bitter and helpless face, shook his head and said, "It's not in the way!" Out of the way! Xia Guan has already heard a lot of such things! As a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, King Liang was favored by the emperor and made a wish to assist the Son of Heaven! It's just that King Liang's family background has some problems, so there are many people in Luoyang City who are very dissatisfied with King Liang! In addition, King Liang put talent and virtue first and reused the children of the poor family, which also caused many people to look at it unpleasantly, so he privately spread rumors and slandered King Liang for having a heart of disobedience, King Liang was powerless, and he couldn't block the gossip, what could he do! β
