Chapter 52: Alliances
Longxi City has always been a relatively special place. Longxi is not an independent county, it belongs to Tianshui County, but several counties in the west of Tianshui in Longxi, plus the proximity to the western Qiangdi, Tianshui County has never attached great importance to it. Longxi City today ushered in a rare liveliness since ancient times, because thousands of soldiers and people in Baohan have to arrive one after another. At this time, Ji County, two hundred miles away, was also noisy, because the same thing was happening, and Tianshui was also emptied by Gao Shun and others, the difference was that the defenders of Tianshui 4,000 did not hold so many prisoners.
Ji County Government, "What? Hansheng attacked Baohan, with less than two hundred casualties? Chen Lin exclaimed, because the messenger from Longxi had only arrived in Ji County today. Say, in detail, what's going on? ”
"Lord, that's all, since the day before yesterday, General Huang and General Fang sent 4,000 troops, went straight to Di Dao, and camped with Xiang Wu to rest, but at night suddenly turned to the northwest and raided Baohan City. General Huang even selected thirty warriors to sneak into Baohan first, and when General Fang led his troops to appear under Baohan City, when the city was in chaos, he went straight to Song Jian's mansion and captured Song Jian alive, Song Jian had no choice but to surrender, and General Huang and General Fang successfully took over Baohan. However, General Huang said that Huhan was not conducive to defense and was too close to the Qiang people, so he forcibly moved the captives and people of Huhan to Longxi, and the first batch of people should return to Longxi at this time. ”
"Okay, hahahahahaha, what a Huang Hansheng." Chen Lin couldn't help but pat his thigh and shouted, and when the messenger saw Chen Lin praising his general, his face was also ruddy. At this time, Gao Shun and other generals couldn't help but compete with Huang Zhong and Fang Yue, and they were also relocated, but Huang Zhong obviously did much better than his own side, the enemy was more than himself, the losses were less than himself, and the prisoners were more than himself, Gao Shun and the others couldn't help but hold their breath, but for Huang Zhong's hand, they sincerely admired.
Fa Zheng: "My lord, although General Huang's move is rash, but the effect is great, Bao Han that Song Jian, Zheng has also heard of it, it is said that this person is also called the emperor, and a hundred officials are selected." General Huang took it down in one fell swoop this time, why didn't the lord take this opportunity to publicize it, and at the same time show the court, and let the world see if it is not. At the same time, General Huang's move, the loss of soldiers and horses was not much, and thousands of people were gained, and more importantly, those prisoners, so Longxi was impregnable. Yan Bojian's side should also be much smoother because of this, the lord can send this news to Bojian, as long as Han Wenyue can still understand, he will definitely not refuse to ally with our army. ”
Chen Lin: "Come on, quickly report the good news to Mr. Yan." Fa Zheng: "Lord, there is one more thing, how Song Jian deals with it is also the key, if this person has no ability, it is impossible, but not everyone can dominate one side in this wild place for so many years, and there are thousands of prisoners." Lord, now that the people of Tianshui and Baohan counties in Longxi have joined, it can be regarded as having a population base, and the worst is that our army can send troops to Qishan this time, and it can also be regarded as laying the front line for continuing the offensive in the future. ”
That's right, those thousands of people who serve and use it well may add a large army to Yizhou in vain, Song Jian must still have prestige among these people, so Song Jian can only persuade him to surrender and stay well. Chen Lin: "Okay, then appoint Song Jian as the commander of Longxi County, assist Hansheng to make arrangements for the newly relocated people, and at the same time temporarily order Boya as the county lieutenant of Longxi, to recruit new troops, the number is not limited, Boya, after you go to Longxi, you will obey Hansheng's orders, and guard Longxi together, the soldiers and horses here, you don't want to bring them, a certain has its own arrangements." ”
Jiang Xu hurriedly came out: "Yes." "Where does Jiang Xu have any soldiers and horses here, just those thousand county soldiers, now all of them have been newly classified as the county soldiers of Ji County, Yang Fu is already the county commander of Ji County, these people are Yang Fu's Now, fortunately, Yang Fu was originally the master of Ji County, and these horses can still be commanded.
After speaking, Chen Lin turned to Fa Zheng again: "Filial piety, the officials of Beiyuan and other counties should also be selected anew, those who should be stayed, and those who should not be left should not be embarrassed, we must pay attention to the selection of county officials, this is the foundation of the great governance, and we must not be sloppy." "Fa Zheng is in a hurry, who called the selection of talents in Yizhou now, etc., are all done by Chen Lin's strategists, Zhang Song is not here now, then it can only be Fa Zheng's life. However, it is not a troublesome matter to appoint this kind of place, and the two most used methods are to find trustworthy people to recommend, like now, find Jiang Xu and Yang Fu to talk about local capable people, and the other method is to directly hand it over to the local scholars, let them distribute it themselves, and then send a monitor to the past.
Jincheng County, Jincheng County, Han Sui exclaimed: "What? Yizhou fights Huhan, it's over in one morning? A day ago, Han Sui still heard that Huang Zhong and other Longxi soldiers and horses were going to attack Di Dao, and at that time, Han Sui was quite happy to give the lobbyist Yan Wen a perfunctory. Han Sui's good idea, Yizhou fights Didao, Han Sui wants to see who loses and who wins, it is best to lose both, and then Han Sui eats both of them, so there is no need to ally with Yizhou, and Yan Wen is naturally perfunctory first. Han Sui was cunning, of course, he didn't dare to say it all at once, no, the next day, there was news that surprised Han Sui. Huang Zhong didn't beat Di Dao, it was all a means of paralysis, but unexpectedly he won Baohan.
Han Sui: "Wen Wei, this Yizhou soldier is too strong, you and I know that kid from Song Jian, seven or eight thousand people, how many soldiers and horses can be dispatched in Longxi, even if it is a sneak attack, but it is a morning, this is too fast." "If Han Sui knew that Huang Zhong's loss was less than two hundred, he was afraid that he would have to shout even louder.
Cheng Gongying: "Anyway, Huang Hansheng deserves to be Huang Hansheng, and this trick to confuse is excellent." Now that the Yizhou soldiers are like a rainbow, Wen Yue, you can consider the previous plan, take Qinchuan, give stability to Shoucheng, and pull Shoucheng in. Always let Ma Jiajun be behind our army, you don't worry, I also feel a little worried. ”
Han Sui: "This-" Cheng Gongying: "Wen Yue, I understand what you mean, although you want to be a big family, but the current situation in Xiliang can't tolerate you like this, Yizhou soldiers and horses are not joking, and Li Zhiran is not muddy." Our family, we can't deal with it, only the Ma Jiajun is also involved, if we lose, we lose together, we win, and the strength of the two families will not be too far. ”
Han Sui: "With stability as a temptation, and me and him are nominally brothers, Shoucheng will definitely send troops." That's it, I was expecting the Yizhou soldiers to make trouble first, but I didn't expect it to be so unexpected, so let's form an alliance with Yizhou, otherwise if the Yizhou soldiers win another game after a while, I'm afraid that people will not be willing to form an alliance with us at that time. Alas, if it weren't for Shoucheng behind him who made a certain person so uneasy, a certain might have to cooperate with Li Zhiran and eat Yizhou, that's it, that's it, come on, please Mr. Yan come up. ”
At the same time, in Yan Wen's room, Yan Wen slowly opened a small note, and there were not many people who could write on paper now. Yan Wen looked at the two lines of words on the paper: Our army has taken Baohan, and the number of troops damaged is less than 200, but we can force Han Wen to form an alliance, and even help him send troops to Di Dao.
Yan Wen smiled slightly, put the paper on the lamp, and burned to ashes with a snort. At this time, Duan Yu happened to come in: "Sir, General Han is invited." Yan Wen smiled and said calmly, "Let's go." ”
"Hahaha, Mr. Yan's habits of living and eating here?" Han Sui saw Yan Wen come in, and greeted him with a smile on his face. Yan Wen smiled: "The general is meticulous in his hospitality, and Yan will definitely show the general's kindness to the lord after he goes back tomorrow." Han Sui was taken aback, looked at Cheng Gongying, turned around and said, "Mr. is leaving?" ”
Yan Wen: "Well, this morning Yan has received a message from the lord, asking him to return to Longxi immediately, oh yes, the general can also come to Didao as a guest in ten days, so that Yan can pay tribute to the general at that time, in order to thank the general for his hospitality in the past few days." ”
"What, Didaw?" Han Sui screamed in surprise, Cheng Gongying was also surprised, isn't Di Dao still in the hands of Li Dao, go to Di Dao as a guest in ten days, or Yan Wen, you will be entertained, is it possible, ah, Yizhou wants to take Di Dao, and Yan Wen's appearance is still nine out of ten. Han Sui couldn't care about his gaffe, there was a Ma Teng behind him who had already made the suspicious Han Sui uneasy, if Di Dao in front of him fell into the hands of Yizhou, then, then Han Sui would be in trouble.
Han Sui: "Sir, please take a seat, sir, what do you mean, could it be that General Feiwei wants to take Di Dao?" Yan Wen smiled, Lao Tzu scared you again, seeing that you left me for two days, and said: "General Baohan Song knows that my lord is benevolent and righteous, and has surrendered the city, General Huang is now moving the people of Baohan to Longxi, and after finishing these in a few days, he will be able to join forces with General Song A total of 12,000 soldiers and horses, and take Di Dao directly, it will only take ten days, so the general must give Yan this opportunity, let Yan entertain the general in Di Dao, and besides, the general will not go from Jincheng to Di Dao for only a hundred miles, so the general will not have to refuse." ”
Song Jian surrendered? Not overcome? Han Sui and Cheng Gongying immediately understood why the battle of more than 10,000 people ended in half a day, it turned out that Song Jian surrendered, what did Huang Zhong use to make Song Jian surrender. But at this time, Han Sui can't take care of these, and Di Dao can't fall into the hands of Yizhou.
Han Sui: "Mr. Yan, I discussed with Wen Wei, and I also felt that this Guo and Li were really rebellious, holding the Son of Heaven hostage, General Wei was dedicated to the country, and a certain Han Wenyue was also a minister of the Han Dynasty, so he decided to send troops to help." Di Dao is a small place, so don't bother General Wei, Han will definitely take Di Dao within half a month, straight * Qinchuan, and then you can stay with General Wei across the water, and be horns with each other, Mr. Yan said? "Han Sui has already admitted it in his heart this time, damn, when has Han Wenyue of the Yellow River Jiuqu Conspiracy suffered such a loss.
Yan Wen laughed, and Han Sui kept playing Tai Chi, the situation was stronger than people, and he could play as much as he wanted. The so-called diplomacy is like this, without real strength as a backing, everything is a fart. With a solid guarantee, even a weak scholar can shout out a piece of pride, this is what Yan Wen is describing now.
In the end, in order to let Han Sui send troops quickly, Yan Wen generously persuaded Han Sui and Chen Lin to send troops to help take Di Dao at the cost of five hundred war horses.
Walking out of the mansion, Yan Wen laughed, Duan Yu and Liu Zhao looked dazed.
