Chapter 41: Under the Castle of Dangli (2nd Watch)

Who is handsome?

This question made Liu Hong very annoyed, and then Liu Hong's expression moved, and he slowly said, "Although I am the Son of Heaven, I am still a teenager after all, and I often dream that when I am in the river, my mother takes good care of me, but I am very ashamed that I am not able to serve my mother because of my busy state affairs!" ”

After saying that, he let out a long sigh.

As soon as the people below heard this, those who were knowledgeable knew Liu Hong's intentions, and those who were shallow in knowledge were all Yuan Yilang, the staff officers at this time.

They don't know why when they were talking about counterinsurgency, they suddenly talked about the nobles of Shenyuan.

At this time, Taifu Hu Guang came out and said, "Your Majesty, the Han Dynasty governs the country with filial piety, and it is a blessing for the world that Your Majesty can have such filial piety." The minister thought that although he was not in harmony with the ancestral system, but there was no such thing before, so the minister thought that the nobles of Shenyuan could be transferred from the river to Luoyang, and the queen was honored. ”

I have to say that Hu Guang is telling the truth, this situation has never occurred in the Han Dynasty, the son is the emperor, but the Dong family, who is a "vassal concubine", is just the wife of a marquis vassal under the emperor.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager Dong can neither go to the capital Luoyang to enjoy the unlimited scenery, nor can she enjoy the power that the Empress Dowager should have; What's more, there is already a ready-made empress dowager - the empress dowager of Emperor Liu Zhi of Han Huan - Empress Dowager Dou (Dou Miao).

This made the identity of Liu Hong's biological mother Dong embarrassed, but fortunately, after Liu Hong ascended the throne in 168 AD, the Empress Dowager Dou Miao, in order to appease the little emperor Liu Hong who she thought could be controlled, agreed to posthumously honor Liu Hong's biological father Liu Chang as Emperor Xiaoren (only called the emperor, not the emperor), and honored her mother Dong as a noble person in Shenyuan.

However, it is unpredictable that in just eight months, the eunuch staged a coup d'Γ©tat, and the entire Dou clan was destroyed. Liu Hong took advantage of the situation to rise, and at this time, Liu Hong wanted to bring the Dong family, who was a noble person of Shenyuan, to Luoyang, and no one could say anything.

Liu Hong couldn't help nodding secretly at Hu Guang's tacit cooperation, and then said, "Draft, respect the noble person of Shen Yuan Dong as the queen of filial piety." Place Yongle Palace, such as the first emperor respected the nobles. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Zhijin Wu Dong is loyal and patriotic, has outstanding ability, moved to the general, and controlled the military of Qingxu and Xuzhou. ”

As soon as this holy decree came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the court, what does this mean? first the daughter of Song Yu, and now the Dong family. Does the emperor want to reuse his relatives?

Not to mention the reaction of the ministers of the DPRK and China, and to say that after Liu Hong's holy decree was issued, the war machine of the Han Dynasty was running in an orderly manner.

The army kept heading towards Qingzhou, the neat queue, the high morale, and everywhere they passed, they were all frightened.

On February 20 of the second year of Jianning, the general Dong Pet led the army to Xiami, and at this time, Xiami had already stationed 10,000 soldiers in Qingzhou Prefecture. Coupled with the 5,000 cavalry brought by General Dong Pet this time, it can be a large army!

After entering the lower secret, Dong Pet was not polite and sat directly on the main seat, and said to Qingzhou Assassin Shi, "I don't know Lord Assassin Shi, what is the battle situation ahead?" ”

Qingzhou Thorn Shi got up and said, "Back to the general, the anti-thief Liu Ju has occupied the entire Donglai County, and sent heavy troops to stationed in Dangli, according to the scout, the anti-thief has at least 20,000 troops, so the official guarded the city and did not dare to fight." ”

When Dong Pet heard this, he said to Jia Xu, who was sitting on the side, "What do you think of Mr. Wenhe?" ”

In order to be foolproof, Liu Hong sent Jia Xu as a staff officer on the march on the grounds that Cheng Yu needed to consider revising the law, and repeatedly instructed Dong Pet to listen to Jia Xu's opinions before leaving.

This is the above scene, Jia Xu smiled slightly, he naturally knew that Dong Chong's mind was nothing more than wanting to use this credit to take root in the emperor's high-level in the army.

Jia Xu was also happy to do this, so he said, "May I ask Lord Assassin Shi, what is the situation between Changguang County and Buqi County?" ”

Although Qingzhou Thorn Shi didn't know what kind of person Jia Xu was, Dong Chongdu respected him so much, so he said with the same respect, "That Changguang County also has 20,000 troops, so it's not its county!" It is very strange that nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses are stationed, but there is no movement, Dangli and Changguang are stationed in our imperial army, a certain can be understood, but Dongwu County, which is adjacent to Chengyang County, has only 3,000 county soldiers, and there are 50,000 anti-thieves, so I really don't know what the anti-thieves think! ”

Jia Xu smiled when he heard this, "Lord Assassin Shi relaxes, when the thief Liu Ji was in Luoyang, he had seen the benefits of my imperial court armor, so he retreated into the three counties, and he did not dare to attack because he was afraid that after the attack, the troops would be scattered and broken by the army of our court, so it is better to defend the three counties with all his strength, block the imperial army and recruit soldiers at the same time." ”

After listening to Jia Xu's words, Dong Pet and Qingzhou Thorn Shi both looked like they suddenly realized, strategists are like this, they can see through things that others can't see, even if you are only a thin layer of paper from the truth, but without a strategist to open the barrier for you, you still never know the truth of the matter.

Immediately, Dong Pet said, "In this case, does Mr. Wenhe think we should take the initiative to attack in order to increase the morale of our imperial army?" ”

Jia Xu thought about it for a while, and felt that it was okay, by the way, look at the combat effectiveness of the anti-thief, there were 5,000 cavalry, Jia Xu didn't believe that anyone could let him lose.

So Jia Xu smiled faintly and said, "Everything is up to the general." ”

As soon as Dong Pet heard this, he knew that he agreed. And he also gave himself face, and immediately glanced at Jia Xu, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, and secretly said in his heart, "He is worthy of being His Majesty's henchman." ’

Immediately, Dong Pet ordered that the army would rebel and set off at the right time.

After everyone went down to prepare, Jia Xu slowly spoke: "General, the lower official wants to ask the general to order a strong general and two thousand cavalry to hand over to the lower official." ”

Dong Pet was stunned, although the staff officer of the army is not allowed to lead the army, but it also depends on who it is, you must know that Liu Hong once said that after the death of the main general, the staff officer of the army is the master of the army.

After being stunned for a moment, Dong Pet said, "I don't know what Wenhe is prepared for?" ”

Wen He whispered a few words, and Dong Pet suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

The next time, the hour. The army appeared under the city of Dangli County.

When the commander of the rebel army appeared at the head of the city, he looked at the imperial army under the city and said with a smile, "Haha, it's been so many days, and the imperial army has just arrived, it's really as incompetent as ever!" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of laughter in the city.

Then the leader said, "Can the navy set off?" ”

"I've already left, and I should be there in a while."

"Well, in that case, let them taste the power of my salt army."

"Drink"

"Drink"

"Drink"

"Open the gates and go to war."

Dong Pet, Jia Xu and the others looked at the slowly opening gate of Dangli City, and said with a smile: "Mr. Wenhe is really an enemy in advance!" ”

Jia Xu smiled and said, "I don't want the general to say so, the anti-army, like us, also needs to use victory to boost morale, Jia Xu just said it in advance, but it made the general and the assassin laugh." ”

Dong Pet and Qingzhou Thorn Shi couldn't help but nod secretly when they heard this, what a Jia Xu Jia Wenhe, strategic, sensible, and deeply favored by the emperor, he can't think of being underdeveloped!
