Chapter 291: Reactions from all sides
After the news of Liu Yao's defeat spread to various places, it caused a huge impact.
The morale of the various Jin forces is high, and they are planning to set off a new wave of counteroffensives, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Hulu forces have been further weakened, and they no longer have the unrivaled momentum of the Yongjia period.
After the news reached Qingzhou, Cao Wei, the assassin of Qingzhou, immediately convened his staff to discuss the discussion of the situation. As early as a few years ago, Cao Wei had the intention of moving closer to the Jin Dynasty, but because the Xiongnu and Han Kingdoms were in full swing at that time, he didn't dare to act rashly, so he only told Wei Shuo to pay attention to it.
Now that Liu Yao's army has been defeated in Guanzhong, losing 100,000 troops, the Xiongnu and Han kingdoms have broken their muscles and bones, and they are no longer able to restrain the feudal towns in various places.
At the same time, Liaodong Weishuo was famous all over the world and was known as the pillar of the country, and some knowledgeable people realized that Liaodong had a promising future.
Cao Wei was originally a bandit and had followed Wang Mi to make trouble in the world, but he still had a trace of shame, and he didn't want to lose a reputation in history in the future, so he actively planned to return to the Jin family.
At the same time, the officials of Qingzhou are mainly children of local families, and these people are disconnected from Jiang Zuo, so they naturally welcome Cao Wei anyway, and they can join the camp of King Langya.
Anyway, Qingzhou was a heavy blow to the Xiongnu and Han States in the storm, and the impact was worse than the defeat of Liu Yao's army. When the news reached Pingyang, Han Emperor Liu Cong's face was so pale that he almost didn't take a breath, and he glanced back and forth at the minister with a gloomy face.
"Everyone, the king of Zhongshan was defeated in Guanzhong, and he fell into the prestige of our country, and he actually let Xiaoxiao despise my dynasty! Qingzhou Cao Wei was originally a bandit, and the first emperor did not give him the title of general because of his despicability. Ordered its eternal town Qingzhou. However, Cao Lao'er saw that my Han Kingdom had suddenly changed, and he didn't want to be loyal to the monarch to serve the country, but he held high the anti-flag and intended to rebel, which is really unbearable! ”
"I want to send troops to conscript, what do you think?"
Liu Yao was so angry that he was a little speechless, with the current strength of the Xiongnu Han Kingdom. Not to mention the expedition to Qingzhou, whether or not the country can be kept is a question.
Liu Cang, the king of Jin, has not yet exposed the tyrannical side of his character, and he is still humble and courteous and benevolent in the court, and he has not taken the Jin army in his eyes since the Luoyang War. Although many people had reminded him that the Liaodong Army was different from other Jin armies, Liu Cang still despised the Liaodong Army.
"Father's anger and thunder, in the eyes of his sons, Qingzhou Cao Wei is just a disease of scabies, and Liaodong Weishuo is the elbow and armpit of my Han Kingdom. As for Cao Wei. It can be handed over to Hebei Dongdan Yu Shile for disposal, and there is no need for the imperial court to make a big move. ”
Liu Can's words resonated with many people in the court, and in the eyes of some uninformed people, the defeat of Guanzhong and Cao Wei certainly brought a crisis to the Han State anyway, but it was not enough to shake the country's foundation, and their biggest reliance was Hebei Shile.
It's a pity that Liu Cong knew that Hebei Shile had long been not of the same mind as the Han Kingdom, and the Han Kingdom was really on the verge of collapse today. As soon as Liu Cang mentioned Shi Le today, he suddenly remembered that even Cao Wei was reversed. Will Scheller take the opportunity to make a name for himself?
I have to say that Shi Le is much stronger than Liu Cong, Cao Wei and the like, and he also has the talented Zhang Bin under him to assist. Naturally, there will be no stupid tricks. After the news of the defeat of Guanzhong and Cao Wei's anyway reached Xiangguo, many confidant generals such as Shi Hu, Zhixiong, Kong Chang, and Taobao persuaded Shi Le to stand on his own.
Only Zhang Bin and Kui'an's few manpower masters, Shi Le, continued to serve the Han State, and Shi Le, after careful consideration, accepted Zhang Bin's suggestion, and not only immediately presented gifts to Liu Congjin to express his surrender, but also asked for orders to go to Qingzhou.
Shi Le had long intended to seek Qingzhou, but he never found a chance to get off. This time, Cao Wei died by himself. gave Shile the opportunity to seek Qingzhou.
Liu Cong was in a very complicated mood after receiving Shi Le's recital, he knew that Shi Le did not really surrender, but just wanted to get the will to go to Qingzhou. Liu Cong was worried that Shi Le would take this opportunity to expand his power, and he was also worried that he would anger Shi Le after vetoing, thus making the contradictions between the two sides public.
Based on the current situation in the Han Kingdom. It is really not easy to force the anti-Shile again, otherwise the entire Han State will collapse overnight. Liu Cong picked up the brush and hesitated, but finally commented on the word 'can' on the note.
Liu Cong rubbed his brain, trying to relieve his fatigue, and after the defeat in Guanzhong, he realized that the situation in Han was not as good as it seemed, so he temporarily distanced himself from women and refocused on government affairs. It's a pity that many years of promiscuity have completely hollowed out Liu Cong's body, and he is quite powerless to handle government affairs.
After approving Shiler's recital, Liu Cong reclined on his seat, frowning and thinking about how to deal with the situation. Cao Wei can be handed over to Shi Le for disposal, but what about Wei Shuo? Wei Shuo defeated 100,000 elites of the Han State in the first battle, how could the Huns have suffered such a big loss, if they don't fight back, how should the outside world view the Han State?
It's just that it's not easy for the Han Kingdom to find Wei Shuo for revenge, the two sides don't have a territory in direct contact (Shi Le doesn't count), Liu Cong didn't expect Shi Le to take the initiative to attack Youzhou, now everyone knows that Liaodong is not easy to mess with, and Shi Le is not stupid to let the weak Cao Wei not bully, why provoke the strong enemy Liaodong?
After thinking about it, Liu Cong felt that if he wanted to explain to the outside world, the most suitable target for the Han Kingdom was Liu Kun. Liu Cong had never been eliminated in Jinyang before, mainly because he didn't want to face the powerful Tuoba Xianbei, but now Tuoba Xianbei was divided into two, and his strength was greatly weakened, and he no longer posed a threat to the Huns.
On the contrary, Liu Kun has his back to Liaodong, and his strength has been greatly improved compared to before, and his threat to Pingyang has greatly increased. Going out to Yangqu, one can cut off the enemy in the north of Pingyang and take all the states; The two Liu Kun are allies of Wei Shuo, and there is no difference between playing Yangqu and Liaodong. If Liu Kun is destroyed here, it will greatly promote the prestige of the Xiongnu Han State, and minimize the impact of the defeat in Guanzhong and Cao Wei anyway.
……
"Good! General Wei fought this battle too relieved, it can be said that the battle is decided! ”
In Dingxiang City, Liu Kun was overjoyed when he looked at the good news in his hand. At the beginning, Liu Yao commanded an army of 100,000 to enter Kouguan, and the situation in Chang'an was shocked three times a day, and he racked his brains for the safety of the Son of Heaven. Now that he can finally put his mind at ease, Liu Yao withdrew from Guanzhong in embarrassment, and Chang'an is as stable as Mount Tai.
Some time ago, Shi Le conspired to attack Leping, Liu Kun had Wei Shuo to remind him to lay out his pockets with Leping Taishou Han as early as possible, but Shi Le crashed into it, not only did he not gain a firm foothold in the west of Taihang Mountain as he wished, but also lost thousands of soldiers and horses.
In addition, behind Nanhe and Zhao Ling, Zhao Ling gathered thousands of people in Guangchuan, Pingyuan, and Bohai to rebel against him and defect to Shao Xu, which finally made Shi Le have to withdraw from Leping with hatred.
Li Hong, the long history, was originally very used by Liu Kun, but somehow he was not treated well by Wei Shuo, and even spoke ill of him several times. Liu Kun didn't know why, but he gradually alienated Li Hong. In fact, the reason why Wei Shuo disliked Li Hong was because he knew that in history, Li Hong took advantage of the defeat at the front line and took refuge in Shile with Yangqu, forcing Liu Kun to flee to Daijun through the Flying Fox.
Li Hong looked at Liu Kun who was dancing, and he hated it in his heart. He thought that he had never offended Wei Shuo, but for some reason he was troubled by him for no reason, so that even Liu Kun and his colleagues alienated him, after all, no one wanted to offend Uncle Fang, a town in the world, for him.
Zuo Changshi Yangqiao was full of worries: "Lord, General Zhenbei's great victory over Liu Yao has stabilized the situation in Guanzhong, and the minister is worried that Liu Cong will be angry and angry, and will point his troops at Yangqu. Now that Yangqu lacks the help of Tuoba cavalry, and the main force of Liaodong has entered the customs, if Liu Cong comes to attack, how should we deal with it? ”
Not only Yang Qiao is worried, but Rusui is also worried about the Huns, and now Liu Kun is just surviving, if it were not for the support of foreign aid, I am afraid that he would have been destroyed by the Huns long ago.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what should we do for the present?"
"Lord, let's warn Liaodong first, if the main force of the Huns comes to attack, it will definitely not be able to stop it when relying on Yangqu alone!" Rusui suggested.
Liu Kun was about to speak, but Li Hong said unashamedly: "Although the strength of Bingzhou is not strong, but the main force of the Xiongnu has been lost, and the rest are only old, weak, sick and disabled. (To be continued.) )
