In the first year of Yongchang, in late April, the battle of Zhuoxian was finally decided. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Liaodong with an army of 200,000 finally defeated more than 300,000 Hulu, except for Zhang Bin, Ran Zhan and a few others escaped, most of the high-level leaders from Shile to Hu were all defeated and captured.

The people of Youzhou were the first to learn the news of Zhuoxian's victory, and the whole Youzhou was boiling. Originally, many people were worried that Hu Lu would break through Zhuoxian and fight under Jicheng, but they didn't want to be completely annihilated by the Liaodong Army under Zhuoxian.

After several days of sorting, Wei Shuo finally got the data related to this battle. First of all, the number of casualties was somewhat large, and more than 60,000 people were killed in this battle in Liaodong, most of whom died to block the breakthrough of Hulu.

Looking at the series of figures, Wei Shuo felt a little worried, this was the largest casualty of the Liaodong Army, almost more than a quarter of the number of people participating in the battle.

Behind the huge casualties, there are glorious results that Liaodong Mountain is excited about. A total of 500,000 people were wiped out in this battle, including more than 200,000 elite people. It can be said that Liaodong was defeated in a war, and he was completely crippled, and he was no longer able to pose any threat to Liaodong.

"Taizhen, the casualties in this battle are a bit big."

"Yes, it is these soldiers who fought bloodily that we have such brilliant results."

"That's right, in the future, we will set up a monument to the fallen soldiers, so that everyone in the world will know their great achievements!"

In early May, when the news of Zhuoxian's victory gradually spread to all parts of the country, it shocked all parties and caused a series of chain reactions. First of all, the morale of the Qianhu side plummeted, and the city that was still holding on to some counties and counties immediately opened the city and surrendered to Liaodong after learning the news that Shile and Shihu were captured and the 500,000 army was wiped out.

Among them is the Xu capital that Mao Bao is attacking, and the city of Xu is tall and not easy to capture. Just when Mao Bao was thinking hard about how to break the enemy, the news of Zhuoxian's victory reached the Central Plains, and the defender Yingchuan Taishou immediately surrendered the city.

When Kui'an, who was guarding Pengcheng, saw the result of the battle in Zhuoxian, he was stunned. 400,000 versus 200,000, originally he thought that the worst could maintain an invincible and undefeated situation, but who knew that it ended with the annihilation of the entire army of Qianhu.

Kui An lost his energy all of a sudden, his heart was full of bitterness, he originally thought that if he kept Huainan, he could at least fight for a way back for Qianhu. Unexpectedly, the elite of Qianhu was completely folded in Youzhou, making all his arrangements useless.

Now that it was useless to trap Huainan any longer, he had to find another way out for Qianhu as soon as possible. It's not that Kui An didn't think about surrendering to Liaodong, but Wei Shuo's action of killing 200,000 Qihu made him completely dispel this idea.

Kui An knew that because the Qianhu had caused too much evil in the Central Plains back then, Wei Shuo had no intention of appeasing the Xuanhu at all. Even if he and his subordinates gave up their weapons and knelt in front of Da Sima to beg for forgiveness, Wei Shuo would not let him go.

"Alas, if you knew today, why bother in the first place?"

Kui An couldn't help but sigh, if he had known that Karma Hu would have retribution today, he would not have connived at Karma Hu no matter what. It's a pity that it's too late to regret it now, and it won't be long before nearly one million people living in the Central Plains, Hebei and other places will be swept away like garbage in Liaodong.

"My lord, why don't we cross the river and go to Jiangdong?" A confidant suddenly suggested to Kui An.

Originally, Kui'an had nothing to do, but after hearing the word Jiangdong, he woke up and said thoughtfully: "Take refuge in Jiangdong? ”

"That's right! There are many contradictions between Wei Shuo and Wang Dun, we will be attached to Wang Dun after we go, and Wang Dun will never hand us over to Liaodong to deal with, so even if Liaodong recovers the northern land, there is still nothing to do with us,"

"And at present, the unification of Liaodong in the north is unstoppable, as the nominal court of the Great Jin Dynasty, Jiangdong will definitely strengthen its vigilance against Liaodong, and then the adults will take advantage of the situation, maybe they will be able to achieve the rule of the river with Liaodong."

Listening to what his henchmen said, Kui'an's eyes became brighter and brighter. Originally, he had lost hope in the future of the caravan, and the whole person had lost the ability to think about problems, otherwise with his intelligence, it would never be the turn of his henchmen to remind him.

But now, with Jiangdong entering Kui'an's sight, he sees a glimmer of hope in despair.

……

"What do you say?! Huainan Qianhu wants to cross the river to join the imperial court? ”

"No, no, to be exact, Kui An is here to defect to the general. In the first battle of Zhuoxian County, Liaodong wiped out hundreds of thousands of troops of Liaohu, and at the same time killed nearly 200,000 Qianhu, so frightened that Kui'an did not dare to stay in Huainan anymore, for fear of falling into the hands of Liaodong. And in addition to the general who dares not to take Liaodong in his eyes, who else can protect Kui'an? ”

Wang Dun listened to Qian Feng's explanation, and was immediately a little moved, but soon asked with a little doubt: "If you take Kui An in, will you be accused of colluding with Hu Lu by the outside world?" ”

"Eh, the lord is too worried, how can this be collusion with Hu Lu? Kui An is the general of the defeated army, and he is poor to vote, and the general just accepts the other party generously, what is the difference between the two Han Dynasty's strategy to pacify the Southern Xiongnu? ”

Qian Feng said disapprerovingly: "Moreover, Kui An is a famous general of Qianhu, who is resourceful, and conspires with Zhang Bin, Xu Guang, Cheng Yao and others for Shi Le. And because he was born in the Qi tribe, he was more reused by Shi Le, otherwise Shi Le would not have handed over the 200,000 troops in Huainan and Huainan in the Central Plains to his command. ”

"If the general accepts Kui'an, he will definitely get a strong reinforcement. And he was born in Hulu, and he will definitely not have any loyalty to the imperial court, as long as the general uses a little means, he is afraid that Kui An will not do his best to serve the general? ”

Wang Dun touched his chin and listened to it, and his eyes brightened, but he was worried that Kui An would bring too many people across the river, and not only would he not be able to suppress the other party, but he might be countered by Kui An, so he immediately expressed his worries to Qian Feng.

"Well, what the lord is worried about is, not to mention the garrison of the Central Plains, there are 100,000 troops stationed in the Huainan line alone, and if they are all allowed to cross the river, it is inevitable that there will be a big bullying of the store. Just in case, the general might as well appoint Kui An as the assassin of Xuzhou in accordance with the measures taken by the imperial court to deal with the exile marshal, so that he can continue to sit in Pengcheng and act as a pawn of Jiangdong against Liaodong. ”

Qian Feng said with excitement on his face: "Such a great general not only does not have to worry about the chaos of Qianhu in the future, but he can also take a large territory of Huainan in front of Liaodong." ”

"In this way, it has offended Liaodong fiercely, and it is difficult to guarantee that the other party will not send troops to intervene?"

"Don't worry, even if Kui'an and Liaodong fight, it won't affect Jiangdong, but can use Kui'an's hands to consume Liaodong."

"Well, what you said makes a lot of sense, the old man will let Mao Hong make an order to appease Kui'an."

……

"Ahem...... Ahem, Maohong has worked hard for you! ”

Sima Rui, the Son of Heaven, sat on the dragon chair with a sick face, and on either side of his head sat the crown prince Sima Shao and Wang Dao respectively.

Originally, the Son of Heaven had lost his authority after Wang Dun Qingjun's side, but then Wang Dun gave the power of the court to Wang Dao, and Wang Dao took the opportunity to return part of the power to the Son of Heaven.

"As a courtier, it is natural to worry about state affairs, and there is no hard work or hard work. It's just that Your Majesty needs to pay attention to your dragon body, now that the state affairs are difficult, if Your Majesty has three longs and two shorts, who can save the current decline? ”

"With Aiqing here, even if I go now, I won't have any worries!"

Hearing this, Director Wang smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty looks down on the ministers, and now the great Sima is about to unify the northern land with the power of pacifying and destroying 500,000 Hulu, except that Your Majesty can still suppress the other party with righteousness, who else in this world can stop Liaodong?" ”

"Besides, in addition, the general is watching from the sidelines, and the imperial court is really struggling!"

Hearing Wang Dun's name, Sima Rui's face darkened, in his heart, Wang Dun's threat far exceeded Wei Shuo's, after all, no matter how strong Liaodong is, it is still separated from Jiangdong by the Yangtze River.

"Your Majesty, Lord Xi Jian asks to see you!"

Just when Wang Dao, Sima Rui, and Sima Shao were discussing, they saw Xi Jian hurriedly walking in and said: "Your Majesty is not good, the general wants to appease Huainan Qianhu." ”

"What?! Why did the general appease Kui'an? Didn't he know that this move would offend Liaodong? ”

The Son of Heaven, Wang Dao, and the Crown Prince all changed their faces when they heard this, they have been avoiding conflicts with Liaodong, but they don't want Wang Dun to dare to intervene in the north at the risk of the world's disapproval, isn't he afraid of Da Sima's retaliation?

"I think the general's move is obviously to take advantage of the fisherman, anyway, the will to appease Kui'an was issued by the imperial court, and when the big Sima is angry, he will only rush at the court, but he will not point the finger at the general. Regardless of the final result, the general not only succeeded in provoking the contradiction between Liaodong and the imperial court, but also received a strong reinforcement for nothing, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
