Chapter 136: Each has a ghost
After listening to Niu Jinxing's analysis, everyone in the tent nodded, and after a while, Li Zicheng gritted his teeth and said: "I said that these bastards have to take care of me to borrow food together as if they were discussing, it turned out that this idea was in my heart, and I should have known that I should have destroyed them first, and the province is now holding me back." But now, what do we do? ”
"Lord, my subordinates have a strategy, maybe they can solve the current crisis." Song Xiance said.
"Sir, speak quickly." Li Zicheng asked.
"The current situation, Shanxi soldiers and horses are attacking Tongguan, Tongguan is lost, we have no way to retreat, so Tongguan must not be lost. But the main force was drawn from here, and I was afraid that Wu Rumeng's soldiers and horses would cross the river to kill them, and they should be combined with the soldiers and horses in Kaifeng, so the soldiers and horses here could not move for the time being. The subordinates thought that since they all came to ask for food, the lord might as well give them a little first, but the number of 10,000 stones was impossible, and it didn't hurt to have 2,000 stones per family. In the name of the alliance leader, he ordered them to rush to Tongguan for reinforcements, defeat the soldiers and horses in Shanxi, and the follow-up grain and grass would be sent immediately. After they received the grain, they at least had to make a posture, and it was impossible to surrender to the imperial court in a short period of time. The lord can order Luo Rucai to surrender again, and let him ask Yue Su for food and weapons, if Yue Su does not give it, we can say that the court deceived everyone, so that everyone should not believe the court's words of surrender; If Yue Su gave it, after Luo Rucai accepted it, he would definitely be able to kill Yue Su half of his anger if he turned around, and if other families surrendered, he would definitely not be gullible. In this way, the leaders of other families saw that the court did not believe them, so they could only continue to rebel. Song Xiance said his plan.
Li Zicheng thought for a moment and thought that it was feasible, so he acted according to the plan, allocated 2,000 stone of grain to each of the battalions who came to borrow grain, and asked them to rush to Tongguan immediately for reinforcements. Then asked Luo Rucai to write a letter to Yue Su to surrender.
Luo Rucai's nickname is Cao Cao, which is very cunning, deception is the same as eating, and after Li Zicheng's order, Luo Rucai immediately wrote a letter and told him to send it to Anyang, saying that he had the heart to surrender. But now, I don't have food, grass, or ordnance at hand, and I hope that the imperial court can allocate some first, and I will be sincerely loyal to the imperial court in the future.
The messenger sent the letter to Yue Su's tent, and after Lord Yue read it, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, this Luo Rucai's details have already been investigated, and he is famous for his cunning, and he has been deceived more than once or twice.
"What's your name?" Yue Su looked at the messenger and said suddenly.
"The little one's name is Sun San." The messenger knelt on the ground and replied carefully.
"The leader of your family, Luo Rucai, said that he had the heart to surrender to the court, and the marshal was very pleased, but he said that there was a lack of food and ordnance in the camp, and he hoped that the court would allocate some, which was a trivial matter, as long as he sincerely returned to the court, served the emperor, and had almost the same food and ordnance, the marshal would make up for it. It's just that I don't know, where is Luo Rucai stationed now? Yue Su said with a smile.
"My lord was stationed in the Xuchang area first." The messenger replied truthfully.
"Stationed in Xuchang ......" Yue Su's face showed embarrassment, and said: "There are liukou stationed along the Yellow River, how can I send the food and ordnance he wants." In this way, I will send him a letter back, if he is truly obedient to the imperial court, the past affairs, this marshal can not blame the past, and please make him the deputy general of Henan. Ben Shuai led his army to Jiyuan today, hoping that he would be able to lead his army to converge and distribute food and ordnance at that time. ”
"Yes, yes......" the messenger nodded.
Then, Yue Su wrote a letter and asked the messenger to bring it, and now rush back and hand it over to Luo Rucai.
After the messenger left, Yue Su ordered to pull out the camp and go to Jiyuan. But as soon as the order was given, Cheng Anbo Guo Zhen clenched his fists and said: "Dashuai, the last general thinks that this matter is not appropriate." ”
"Sir, why is it wrong?" Yue Su asked calmly.
"The imperial court has already reported it, this Luo Rucai has always been two-faced and three-stabbed, cunning and abnormal, and it is not just a fraudulent surrender. I think he is also a fraud this time, I hope the handsome man will not be gullible. Moreover, I don't think the army should go to Jiyuan, so as not to fall into the conspiracy of traitors. Guo Zhen said loudly.
Yue Su has seen many nobles, the most courageous and responsible, it seems that he is out of the lineage of the Duke of Qianguo, and he will belong to this Guo Zhen. Among the nobles, there are many who serve in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, but this time, no one dares to come, only this Guo Zhen has no heart to retreat, and he has an unshirkable posture, compared with other nobles, I don't know how many times stronger.
"Sir, what you said is right, this Luo Ru must be a fraud." Yue Su said affirmatively.
"Since the lord already knows that this Luo Ru is a deceitful surrender, why do you still trust him, allow him food and weapons, and move to Jiyuan?" Guo Zhen asked puzzled.
"This Luo Rucai's reputation, he himself should also know that he dared to surrender, thinking that there was a reason for it. If Ben Shuai guessed correctly, among the rogues, there must be someone who loosened up and planned to return to the court, so this Luo Rucai wanted to put a place first, in the name of deception, to ask the court for food and wages, if I don't give it, he can say to the other rogues in a grand manner, the court is not sincere to recruit peace, but if it is given to him, he will turn his head and continue to rebel, so that Ben Shuai will not dare to believe the surrender of other families. With such a small plan, he still wants to deceive Ben Shuai, I think he is a pipe dream. Ben Shuai promised him, but he just planned it, took the opportunity to buy people's hearts, and let other rogues see, Luo Rucai came to deceive him with such a reputation, Ben Shuai sincerely invited, not to mention other people. Yue Su said lightly.
"I see." Guo Zhen nodded, and then said, "I don't know what Dashuai wants next?" ”
"Tell someone to go to the south and send Luo Rucai a letter to Ben Shuai, and spread the news that he has the intention to return to the imperial court. The more it spreads, the better, and the more people know about it, the better. Yue Su said with a smile, then stood up and said, "Okay, send an order to the three armies, pack up, and prepare to pull out the camp." ”
Yue Su's army, early the next morning, set off to Jiyuan, from Anyang to Jiyuan can be more than 300 miles, the army marched normally, five days to arrive. At the same time, the news that Luo Rucai had fornicated with Yue Su and wanted to return to the imperial court had also spread in Henan. Not only that, Yue Su also got a piece of news, that is, the fifth battalion of Gezuo led by Lao Hui Hui Ma Shouying, together with the King of Chaoshi, the King of the Whole World, Jiutiao, King Shuntian, King Taiping, King Datianwang and other rogues, are gathering in the area of Tongguan and preparing to attack Sima Qiaoyu.
However, they seemed to have unconsciously slowed down after hearing the news that Luo Rucai wanted to surrender to the imperial court, wanting to see what the result would be.
Among the rogues, everyone knows Luo Rucai's name, and fraud is commonplace, but this time, if you don't get it right, it's another fraud.
The day after Yue Su arrived in Jiyuan, someone came to ask for a meeting, and the man claimed to be Wang Tan, the general under Luo Rucai's account. Yue Su immediately reported that Wang Tan was taken into the camp by the soldiers, and when he entered the camp, he saw that the soldiers in the camp were neat and tidy, and they were in good spirits, and they came to the big tent of the Chinese army, and there were two lines of halberd guards standing outside the tent, one by one they looked extremely majestic, and looked at Wang Tan with extremely sharp eyes.
Wang Tan is also a battle-hardened master, but when he sees this formation, he can't help but tremble a little.
"Qiqi Marshal, Luo Rucai's envoy Wang Tan brings!" The soldier shouted loudly outside the tent. Then, I heard someone inside shouting: "Dashuai is invited!" ”
"Let's go."
The soldier took Wang Tan into the big tent, and when he saw Yue Sugao sitting on it, the soldier quickly knelt on the ground, "Go back to the big handsome, the mark has brought Wang Tan to." ”
"Very well, you go down." Yue Su said lightly.
"Yes, Marshal." After speaking, the soldier bowed and retreated.
Wang Tan was standing under the tent now, and he didn't know whether to kneel down or not, seeing Yue Su's gaze turning to him, he hurriedly bowed down and saluted, "Wang Tan, the general under the command of King Cao, see Yue Dashuai." ”
As soon as he bowed, it was considered a salute, so that the generals in the big tent were not satisfied, and someone immediately stood up and said loudly: "You grass people, why don't you kneel when you see the marshal!" ”
"It doesn't matter." Yue Su smiled slightly and waved his hand at the general. Then, he said to Wang Tan: "Your name is Wang Tan, are you under General Luo?" ”
"Yes." Wang Tan replied.
"Marshal Ben fulfilled his promise and personally led the army here to respond, I don't know where General Luo is now?" Yue Su asked gently.
"My father-in-law is still in Xuchang." Wang Tan said.
"Why are you still in Xuchang? I wonder what he sent you for? Yue Su asked calmly.
"My lord ordered me to come and receive the food and armor from my lord." Wang Tan said bluntly.
"Food, salaries and ordnance, this marshal has been prepared, just waiting for General Luo to come and receive it. But if he doesn't come, what does that mean? It can't be a deliberate deception, and after getting the food and weapons of the commander, he should rebel and continue to rebel, right? Yue Su said with a smile on his face.
"How is this possible? My lord, that is sincerely obedient to the imperial court, but now the three armies have no food and cannot march. Wang Tan said with a look of embarrassment.
"It takes five days for Ben Shuai to get here from Anyang, and one and a half days is enough for him to get from Xuchang to the other side. Can't you just come over? Yue Su asked with a smile.
"The army has no food, so they drink two bowls of gruel every day, and the brothers below really can't walk, and our lord can't force it. Please also ask the marshal, allocate the food and salary first, let the last general bring it back, and then my lord will personally lead the soldiers and horses to converge. ”
"Rations and ordnance, the marshal will definitely give them, as long as they are sincerely obedient to the imperial court, they are officers and soldiers. However, the food and ordnance of the imperial court are used to suppress bandits, so I can't give him the food and ordnance without even seeing the shadow of your lord. I don't think it's as good as this, you go back now and send him a letter, saying that Ben Shuai wants to meet him, wait for him here, and after meeting, you know that he is sincerely obedient to the court, and naturally his military needs are indispensable. But now no one has seen him, who knows if he is truly obedient to the court. If it was sincere, then why didn't he come personally? ”
"This ...... It's not that my father-in-law doesn't want to come, but he ...... Don't dare to come......" Wang Tan said carefully.
"If he is sincere, why don't he dare to come?" Yue Su asked coldly.
