Chapter 278: Proofreading Expedition

"According to the scout's report, the various armies gathered in Guanzhong belong to two camps and four factions: among them, Lu Yun and Suo Qi represent the Chang'an court; Liu Yao belonged to the enemy generals and was in his own faction; The rest of Hua Ji, Song Zhe, and Jiao Song are all generals of foreign domains, and they are not completely obedient to the imperial court, but also have the heart to save the society and stabilize the world."

"The last remaining faction is Liaodong itself, among the four major factions, Liu Yao is the most powerful, and he is a strong enemy in Liaodong. If you want to destroy Liu Yao, it is best for Liaodong to unite with Lu Yun, Hua Ji, Jiao Song, and Song Zhe. ”

"The lord is reasonable, the Liaodong Army has just ended the war, and for the time being, it can only send 30,000 soldiers west into Guanzhong, even if you add Liu Yao and Wen Qiao, it is only a little more than 40,000, which is still less than half of the Xiongnu army."

"Besides, Liaodong has to deal with not only the Huns, the Hu people are white-eyed wolves, with Liu Yao entering the Kou Pass, the Hu tribes such as Di, Qiang, and Xiongnu who had honestly settled in the pass have risen up and responded. But that's fine, so it just gives Liaodong an excuse to rectify the Hu people, and take this opportunity to solve the internal worries of the Hu people once and for all! ”

"It's just that if you want to completely defeat the Hu coalition army, you have to unite other reinforcements, but I don't know if those reinforcements are willing to cooperate with the Liaodong Army."

……

At the end of June of the third year of Jianxing, Wei Shuo, who was far away in Jicheng, soon received the imperial court's order to appoint him as the governor of the expedition, and asked him to lead the Liaodong army into the customs as soon as possible.

As everyone knows, in order to let Wei Shuo get his wish, Liu Kun of Jinyang carried out a lot of activities in the court, and even did not hesitate to threaten the Chang'an court, and finally forced Suo Shuo to give in and gave Wei Shuo the power to lead all kinds of reinforcements.

After receiving the holy decree, Wei Shuo immediately went to the military camp outside Jicheng and set off with the army.

Now there is a large-scale famine in Guanzhong, and Liu Yao is taking advantage of this favorable situation to lead an army of 100,000. It successively attacked Fengyi County and Beidi County to threaten Chang'an, and the Hu people scattered all over Guanzhong took the opportunity to raise troops to respond.

Wei Shuo took Mo Han, Pei Wei, Lu Chang, Feng Yi, Duan Wenyang, Mao Bao, and Ji Yu to the barracks, and at this time the school field was full of soldiers waiting to go out.

This expedition, Wei Shuo plans to take a total of 30,000 troops with ten foot cavalry, plus reinforcements from all walks of life in Guanzhong, and he is not less than Liu Yao in terms of troops.

Mo Han stood beside Wei Shuo and reminded in a low voice: "When you go out to Guanzhong, you must deal with the Kansai family. The lord may wish to pay attention to one or two, maybe he will recruit one or two famous generals! ”

Mo Han's reminder is not without purpose, since the Later Han Dynasty, the Kansai family is certainly inferior to the Kanto family, but the Kansai family has always been known for its famous generals, and the Huangfu family, the Hu family, the Li family in Longxi, the Fufeng Ma family, the Dou family, etc., have all produced famous generals and Confucians, and their power should not be underestimated.

"I know, the world is relieved. Shuo has his own plans. ”

To say that the Kansai talent that Wei Shuo is most worried about is none other than Xie Ai, Xie Ai should be only about fifteen years old at this time, and may not have taken up the position of chief bookkeeper in Liangzhou.

Historically, when Xie An had not yet talked about Guanshui; When Chen Qingzhi had not yet crossed the Yellow River in a white robe; When Wei Rui hadn't taken a ride to set the clock.

A Confucian scholar named Xie Ai sat on a chariot, dressed in white, and marched with drums.

In the battle of Linhe, he led the 30,000 Qianliang army to defeat the 100,000 Houzhao army, making Ma Qiu run on horseback; and the Divine Bird Breaking King. forced Ma Qiu to flee to Jincheng again.

Shi Hu sighed: "I set Kyushu with a partial teacher, and now I am trapped in Caohan with the power of Kyushu." He is a man. Not to be figured out! ”

Xie Ai is not a peerless fierce general like Xiang Yu and Lu Bu, but a Confucian general like Han Xin and Zhou Yu.

When Wei Shuo was thinking about his own thoughts, he saw Zhang Biao step forward and fall to the ground on one knee, "General Zhenbei." The soldiers are ready to go out for the battle, please review them. ”

Later, accompanied by Zhang Biao, Sima Shu inspected the soldiers preparing to go on the school field. Although the Liaodong Army fought more frequently, it was due to its higher salary and various benefits. Coupled with repeated victories, the morale of the soldiers on the expedition is very high.

Zhenbei general Wei Shuo with Pei Wei, Mo Han, Lu Chang, Feng Yi with the army counselor military aircraft, Zhang Biao, Duan Wenyang, Mao Bao, Ji Tang, Nengchen five people as generals, transferred 30,000 cavalry coalition troops from Jicheng through Shanbei and into Guanlong.

……

After the news that the Son of Heaven ordered the Zhenbei general Wei Shuo to enter the Guanqin King came out, the world was shocked, and all forces in Guanzhong began to discuss it, and most people believed that the strong intervention of the Liaodong Army in Guanzhong would inevitably affect the next trend of the situation in Guanzhong. Among them, Liu Yao was the most affected, and after learning the news, he quickly gathered his subordinates to discuss countermeasures.

"Everyone, something is wrong! Emperor Jin took Youzhou Mu and Zhenbei general Wei Shuo as the governor of the conquest, and commanded tens of thousands of Liaodong troops to aid Guanzhong. The Liaodong Army is not as good as the Guanzhong Jin Army, it is the world's first-class elite division, and it has broken tens of thousands of Xianbei iron cavalry in Youzhou, even if it is against the elite of the Huns, I am afraid that there is no certainty of victory! ”

Zhao Ran, the general of Pingxi, got up quite angrily when he heard this: "King, why do you need to grow the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige? Today, the Liaodong Army has entered the customs in a big way, although it is not conducive to our army, if we take advantage of the situation to take Chang'an directly, as long as we take Chang'an before the Liaodong Army enters the customs, no matter how brave the Liaodong Iron Cavalry is, there is no need to worry! ”

"King, what General Zhao said is very true, although the Liaodong Army is brave and good at fighting, but as long as we take Chang'an and wait for work, the Liaodong Army is tired from afar, how can we still wait for the opponent?" Liu Yue, the general of Fenwei, agreed with Zhao Ran's proposal.

"Guo Changshi, what do you think?" Liu Yao was noncommittal, but turned his head to ask Guo Yan next.

Changshi Guo Yan pondered for a moment and replied: "King, it is not easy to capture Chang'an in a short time, not to mention that there are still 20,000 Jin troops stationed in the city, and there are Jin troops such as Hua Ji and Song Zhe on the side, but the greater danger is Liu Yao and Wen Qiao who are cruising in the rear of our army. ”

"Liu Yao is a tiger general in Liaodong, and he once broke tens of thousands of Xianbei iron horsemen with only a Mo knife under Jicheng, killing Xianbei people in fear. Since entering the customs, it has only relied on more than 10,000 cavalry to set off a bloody storm in the Qianghu tribes, and tens of thousands of Hu Lu have died so far. If he hadn't appeared in time some time ago, the king must have eliminated Lu Yun, and maybe he would have taken Chang'an now. ”

"Liu Yao is by no means comparable to the timid and fearful Lu Yun and Hua Ji, as long as Liu Yao and Wen Qiao's cavalry are not eliminated one day, how can the king dare to let go and attack Chang'an?"

Listening to Guo Yan's words, Liu Yao suddenly fell silent, he was indeed very jealous of Liu Yao and Wen Qiao. With these two people on the sidelines, the army will definitely not be able to attack Chang'an with all its might.

"In the opinion of long history, how should Lone deal with it?"

"The king might as well stop attacking Chang'an for the time being, and take a rest of the troops and horses, and wait for Wei Shuo to enter the customs, the king has been recuperating for a long time, and then take advantage of the Liaodong army's unstable foothold to defeat it in one fell swoop, won't it be forever troubled?"

"Well, according to the long history! Chuan Gu General's Order: From now on, the army will stop the conquest and move to rest! ”

……

The entry of the Liaodong Army not only made the enemy Liu Yao restless, but also Suo Qi, Hu Song, Lu Yun, Hua Ji, Song Zhe, Jiao Song and others in the same camp were also restless. Originally, everyone did not belong to each other, and no one obeyed anyone, but now that there is a housekeeper mother-in-law, the generals are naturally very dissatisfied.

However, now it's too late for them to regret it, who let them perform too poorly, and they were forced to stop because of Liu Yao's military might, ignoring the safety of the Son of Heaven, so that Sima Ye, the Son of Heaven, was shocked three times a day in Chang'an.

At this time, Sikong Liu Kun recommended Wei Shuo's recital to Chang'an, and the Son of Heaven didn't care about it, but when he saw the past achievements of the Liaodong Army, he was suddenly startled, and he didn't expect that there was such a fierce force in the remote Liaodong.

For the sake of his own safety, Sima Ye, the Son of Heaven, ignored Suo Qi's repeated objections, insisted on appointing Wei Shuo as the governor of the conquest and putting him in charge of the military conquest of the four yi.

It's just that the idea of the Son of Heaven is different from that of the court ministers headed by Suo Qi, and even with the thoughts of Song Zhe, Hua Ji and other local reinforcement generals. The Son of Heaven wishfully thought that after receiving the holy decree, everyone would happily welcome Wei Shuo's arrival, but in fact, most people did not welcome the powerful Liaodong.

Suo Wei was afraid that Wei Shuo's arrival would take away his position as an auxiliary minister, and Lu Yun, Hua Ji and others were worried that Wei Shuo would take the opportunity to annex his subordinates, which would affect the interests of the family.

It can be said that with the arrival of Wei Shuo, the situation in Guanzhong has become more and more unpredictable. (To be continued.) )
