Chapter 125 [Story]
He Bayue was the general of Wuwei at this time. When the news came out that Er Zhurong planned to use He Batyue as the main general to conquer Wan Qiu Chounu, He Batyue was not only not happy when he heard it, but on the contrary, he fell into deep worry.
On the one hand, He Bayue is very happy to go in his heart, the place where Guanzhong Sisai is the place where the husband has made contributions, and there will not be too many opportunities for a person to reverse his fate in his life, and if he can't grasp the opportunity, he will regret it for life.
However, considering the other side, He Batyue could not be happy. First, if you win, you will be easily jealous of the bosses of the Erzhu Group, and if someone makes a small move behind your back, you will be in danger.
Second, Wan Qian Ugly Slave is not a character to mess with, Xiao Baochu, Yuan Hao, and Changsun Zhi have all been there, either defeated or surrendered, and the best is just holding on, if you can't win this fight, with Er Zhurong's style of governing the army, your life will be difficult to protect.
The so-called victory is also difficult, defeat is also difficult, the expedition to the west is a dilemma for He Bayue, but, as the saying goes, there are always more ways than difficulties, there will be a way! After thinking about it again and again, He Batyue still decided to go, after all, the opportunity is rare.
He's already figured out a way out of the predicament, but he still needs someone to pull the strings. He Batyue found He Batsheng and told his second brother about his worries. He Batsheng felt that He Batyue's words were not unreasonable, but He Batsheng was a straight intestine, and there were not so many twists and turns in his heart, seeing this dilemma, he couldn't help but sigh: How should this be good?
Among the three brothers of Heba, Hebayun is loyal and honest, Hebal is brave and resourceful, and only Hebayue is brave and resourceful. He Bayue said: It's okay, I have a plan. It is to pull a member of the Erzhu family to Kansai together, and the Erzhu family will be the handsome and foolproof. He Batsheng nodded in goodness.
He Batyue's idea was indeed brilliant. The people of the Lalju family went with them, which was equivalent to finding a protective umbrella, and someone had an accident. The battle is won, and no one dares to stab him in the back casually. What's more, with the wisdom of He Bayue, the Erzhu family is unmatched except Erzhurong, so no matter who Erzhurong sends, he is just a puppet.
He Batyue continued: "I can't say this, with the intelligence of the general, if I say it myself, he will definitely be able to guess my thoughts, so it is not beautiful." I have to bother my brother to convey it on my behalf. This is the true intention of He Batyue to find He Batsheng. He Batsheng agreed. Thereupon. He Batsheng met with Er Zhurong.
& Said that the general wanted Adou Ni to go to Kansai, but is there such a thing? "Hebatsheng gets straight to the point, and that's his usual style. Er Zhurong didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" "This matter is not appropriate, the matter of the Western Expedition is very high, and the commander in front of the imperial court is either a prince or an important minister of the state, and with the prestige of Adou Ni, it is not enough to take on this important task."
Er Zhurong's face was cloudy. He Batsheng went on to say: Although Adou Ni lacks prestige. However, his wisdom and strategy are actually the best candidates to pacify Kansai. Today, it is the world of the great general, and it is the world of the Erzhu family, if the general chooses a warrior from the Erzhu family to be the commander. With He Batyue on his side, such a big thing can be accomplished. Erzhurong was overjoyed: That's very good.
In fact, Er Zhurong didn't want his brothers and nephews to go out. After all, Guanzhong is a place of beauty, and those who win Guanzhong win the world. Sending others to themselves is not at ease after all, otherwise it will be a headache to destroy a Wan Qi ugly slave and produce another He Batyue.
But. No one among his brothers and nephews can compete with Wan Qiao's ugly slaves, and He Batyue, who is both wise and brave, is indeed the best candidate. Er Zhurong also considered using He Batyue to assist his family on the expedition, but he didn't know whether He Batyue would be affectionate if he could obey the order. So, now that He Batsheng has proposed such a proposal, Er Zhurong is very happy. Who is in charge?
Erzhurong fell into deep thought. In the Erzhu family, Erzhu Rong is naturally the patriarch of the family, and the current high-ranking people in the court or army are Erzhu Shilong, Erzhu Zhongyuan, Erzhu Dulu, Erzhu Yanbo, Erzhu Yusheng, Erzhu Tianguang, Erzhu Zhao, etc. Erzhu Yusheng is Er Zhurong's uncle, Er Zhurong took it as the history of the Assassin of Yinzhou after taking it from Wei Qingbin, and later moved to the history of the Assassin of Yinzhou. Erzhurong's father, Erzhu Xinxing, had a half-grandfather brother, Erzhu Maizhen, and the five sons born to him all followed Erzhurong.
The boss Zhu Yanbo has a kind temperament, and he is the chief of Taiyuan Palace, and it is okay to use a pen or something, and he has never heard of the military. The second Erzhu Shizhong is cruel and unkind, when he was merging the state, he saw that Er Zhurong's performance was not unapproved by the court, so he imitated Er Zhurong's handwriting, privately engraved Er Zhurong's big seal, and conspired with Shangshu Lingshi to help Er Zhurong sell his official, and the money obtained was used to spend time and wine, and he is currently the assassin of Xuzhou.
The third Erzhu Shilong, the word Rongzong, Erzhurong was a general of the Zhige before entering Luo, specially collected information for Erzhurong in the capital, and participated in the support of Yuan Ziyou, and is currently the left servant of Shangshu, responsible for the selection and appointment of officials, and is one of the few political talents in the Erzhu family.
However, Erzhu Shilong's general was mediocre, and when Yuan Hao entered Beijing, he fled without a fight. The fourth elder, Zhu Shicheng, was captured and killed for Yuan Hao. The old five Erzhu Bi can be mediocre and lackluster. Er Zhurong also has a cousin, Er Zhu Dulu, General Ren Wei and Doctor Zuo Guanglu, who is despicable and untireless.
The leading figures in the descendants of the Erzhu family are Erzhu Zhao and Erzhu Tianguang. Er Zhu Zhao is Er Zhurong's favorite junior, agile, good at riding and shooting, and is Er Zhurong's right-hand man in the Quartet, but Er Zhurong knows that Er Zhuzhao is just a general, and it is qualified to lead 3,000 people into battle, but it is difficult to be alone, Er Zhurong once compared Er Zhuzhao with Gao Huan, and he thinks that Er Zhuzhao can only let Gao Huan lead the nose.
Therefore, it is really not reassuring for Er Zhuzhao to take a person like He Bayue to Guanzhong. Compared with Erzhu Zhao, Erzhu Tianguang has his courage and strategy, and has always served as a military officer in Erzhurong's account. Erzhu Tianguang is Er Zhurong's ancestral brother, and he has a very good temper with Er Zhurong, and Er Zhurong often participates in military aircraft events after he rises into the army.
After Er Zhurong occupied the state and the state, he took it as the general, was in charge of the soldiers and horses of the state, and later became the history of the state assassin. Er Zhurong once praised him and said: When I am away, only you can reassure me about doing things.
Erzhu Rong went south to crusade against Yuanhao, and Erzhu Tianguang was shot as a servant of the book, and waited for Kyushu to travel to the Taiwan and act as the governor of the state, so it can be said that the entire rear was handed over to Erzhu Tianguang. The kid didn't disappoint. After much consideration, Erzhurong decided to send Premier Erzhu Tianguang to the west.
In order to prevent He Batyue from being unfavorable to Erzhu Tianguang. Er Zhurong also assigned the generals Hou Mo and Chen Yue to go out with Er Zhu Tianguang. Hou Mo Chen Yue's ancestral home is Daijun, and his father Brahmin is the captain of the camel cow. Hence the home in Hexian An.
Hou Mo Chen Yue is good at hunting, good at riding and shooting, and when Er Zhurong crusaded against the rebellion of Hexi Muzi, he attached Er Zhurong to join the army for a long time, and later became the governor of the capital, except for the general of Zhengxi and the county marquis of Fengbairen. Hou Mo Chen Yue is not as sharp as He Batyue, he has not much ambition, and he is respectful to Er Zhurong, so the purpose of Er Zhurong to let him accompany him is mainly to contain He Batyue.
At this point, the high-level candidates for the Western Expedition have been basically determined. With Erzhu Tianguang as the envoy, the governor of Eryong, the military of Erqi, and the history of Yongzhou, He Bayue as the governor of the left, and Hou Mo Chen Yue as the governor of the right. The three-person group was successfully formed, and the order was the eldest Er Zhu Tianguang, the second He Bayue, and the third Hou Mo Chen Yue.
Then, the two lieutenants each selected their cronies to accompany them, and He Bayue's team was mainly composed of Wuchuan villagers, such as Zhao Gui, Yu Wentai, Ko Luo, Li Hu, etc. Hou Mo Chen Yue's team is mainly based on old relatives, such as Li Bi, Ke Zhu Hun Daoyuan, Dou Luning, etc.
Although these people are mediocre now, they casually mention a star who will be dazzling in the future. However, Erzhu Rong only equipped Erzhu Tianguang with a thousand elite horses. Although the number of people is not much, it is enough compared to Hou Yuan's fight against Han Lou. In this way, the 1,000-strong counterinsurgency army left Jinyang and marched towards Kansai.
Er Zhurong gave Erzhu Tianguang 1,000 people to Guanzhong to quell the rebellion, and Erzhu Tianguang went on the road hard. Everyone knows that it is absolutely impossible to rely on this number of men and horses to confront the hundreds of thousands of rebels of Wan Qiao Chounu.
Er Zhurong also counted on Er Zhu Tianguang to create a miracle of 70 million and 1 million. Myths are not reproducible, so although not many people give. But Erzhurong gave a special policy: Erzhu Tianguang could recruit troops along the way and recruit ordinary people's horses to fill the army. Moreover, Yang Kan was ordered to take the first step to publicize the policies of the imperial court, and the people along the way had money to contribute and some people to pay, and the reason why Yang Kan was sent was because Yang Kan was born in the Hedong Shi clan and was well-known in the local area. However, the recruitment work is not smooth, and people have become accustomed to the imperial court sending people to conquer Guanxi in batches.
What is loyal to the country is nonsense, more people join the army with the same mood as Xue Xiuyi, not to earn a future, now it seems that the risk is extremely high, the probability of losing their lives is very high, who wants to die? Erzhu Tianguang sadly saw that it was not until he reached Tongguan that more than 1,000 people were recruited, and if he went further, there were thieves in the way.
When the Three Kingdoms returned to Jin, the Shu Kingdom was destroyed, and the Jin court migrated the wealthy people of the Bashu generation to Chang'an and Shangluo, and most of them were Shu people near Chang'an, and most of them were Ba people in Shangluo.
After the Great Wei Rebellion, the Shu people once followed Xiao Baochun to rebel, Xiao Baochun was defeated and went to Gaoping, and the Shu people temporarily settled down, but with the Wan Qian Chounu set off a bigger chaos, the Shu people occupied the dangerous terrain west of Tongguan, cut off the main road to Guanzhong, and plundered the people.
In order to eliminate the first obstacle on the road to the west, Yang Kan went to persuade him to surrender, but the Shu people did not buy it and put on a posture to fight with the official army.
Erzhu Tianguang counted two thousand soldiers and horses, but there were 10,000 people in Chishui Shu who blocked the way, Erzhu Tianguang was stunned in his heart, garrisoned Tongguan, and did not dare to continue to advance. It's not that I'm timid, it's just that I'm too few.
Alas, speaking of which, Erzhu Tianguang is still playing tricks on the stage, and the role of the tricks is to lead the protagonist to appear, so Erzhu Tianguang cowered, and the real protagonist of the Western Expedition couldn't help but speak. He Bayue persuaded: If you encounter these rats, you are still afraid, how will you fight if you encounter a great enemy?
Although the Shu people are fierce, in the final analysis, they are still from the common people, and they cannot be compared with the professionally trained regular army, so He Bayue regards them as rats. He Bayue meant that he was afraid to see these little thieves, so how could he fight against the brave and warlike regular army of Wan Qi Chounu.
Affected by the number of subordinates, Erzhu Tianguang was not annoyed, his attitude was very sincere, modest and polite: Today's matter will be entrusted to He Bagong. Since you have the ability, you should go first, and those who can work harder.
He Bayue did not shirk, and immediately resigned and Zhu Tianguang led the men and horses of the headquarters to the Shu people's position. Hou Mo Chen Yue saw that He Bayue sent troops, and also sent Li Bi to help.
Li Bi, the word Jinghe, is a native of Xiangping, Liaodong. The sixth ancestor Li Gen was the Huangmen squire of Murong Chui of the Northern Yan, his grandfather Li Guichou was the assassin of Pingzhou, and his father Li Yong was the doctor of Taizhong of the Great Wei Dynasty.
He Bayue was both wise and brave, Li Bi was brave and fierce, the Western Expeditionary Army was opened, the Shu people were defeated, and what was even more encouraging was that the official army also captured 2,000 war horses.
For the minority troops, which mainly rely on cavalry and archery, horses were the most important equipment, and He Bayue selected sturdy war horses from them to distribute to the sergeants, and some of the Shu people who surrendered were also incorporated into the army.
Kicked away the roadblock, Erzhu Tianguang smoothly entered Chang'an, and Chang'an ushered in a new owner.
At this time, the war horses captured by the Western Expeditionary Army and the collected civilian horses totaled more than 10,000 horses, but the recruitment was still not very smooth, and the people responded to the country's call to defend the country and join the army.
When the news reached Guannei, Er Zhurong was furious and sent cavalry to join the army, and Liu Gui sent 2,000 cavalry reinforcements. Liu Gui took a step ahead on a stagecoach, and was ordered by Er Zhu Rong to execute the family law and punish Er Zhu Tianguang with a hundred rods. Er Zhurong's method of teaching his children and nephews is to beat, and if he doesn't fight, he can't succeed. His style has influenced a large number of people who follow him, such as Gao Huan, as long as his son Gao Cheng makes a mistake, he will be beaten up.
Although he was beaten, after all, he replenished two thousand new forces, and it was worth it! The Guanxi shape continued to deteriorate, and Wan Qian Chounu personally led his troops to besiege Qizhou, and sent Chi Bodhisattva, the captain of the Daxing Tai, and Wan Qian to cross Weishui from Wugong South to attack the official army camp in Weinan.
The military situation was urgent, Erzhu Tianguang did not dare to delay, and immediately handed over half of the two thousand elite cavalry brought by Liu Gui to He Bayue, and ordered He Bayue to rush to the aid of Weinan. Hou Mo and Chen Yue, who loved to join in the fun, hurriedly sent Ke Zhu Hun Daoyuan and He Bayue together.
But Zhu Hun Daoyuan compound surname can Zhu Hun, the name of the word Dao Yuan, the ancestor is the tribal chieftain, the great-ancestor Hu Ye Hu did Huaishuo town general, since then settled in Huaishuo Town, after the chaos in the north town, Dao Yuan took the family to take refuge in Zhongshan, and soon became involved in the Xian Yu Xiuli Rebellion, and then Ge Rong signed the king of Liang, Ge Rong defected to Er Zhurong after his defeat.
But Zhu Hun Daoyuan, like Li Bi, is a powerful general under Hou Mo and Chen Yue. When the official army arrived in Weinan, He Bayue saw that the Weinan camp was in a mess and it was too late! Yu Chi Bodhisattva had already broken through the camp fence and killed and plundered, and then crossed the Weishui and returned to Weibei, camping on the shore to monitor the movements of the officers and soldiers.
He Batyue camped in Weinan, the two sides took Weishui as the boundary, facing each other across the river, because he could not find out the reality of the official army, Wei Chi Bodhisattva was unwilling to cross the river to the south, and He Batyue did not dare to cross the river to the north lightly. After a stalemate, Yu Chi Bodhisattva stopped playing, left He Bayue alone, and led the army to Qizhou to join Wan Qian Chounu to attack Qizhou with all his might. How He Batyue was willing to return in vain, he frowned and thought about it. (To be continued......)
