Chapter 133 [Trojan Horse]
Yuwentai secretly came to Luoyang to meet Emperor Xiaowu Yuan Xiu, and he explained to the emperor the current situation in Guanxi and the strategic intentions of He Bayue. As the contradiction with Gao Huan became more and more acute, Yuan Xiu had been looking forward to He Batyue for a long time, and now, He Batyue sent someone to the door, he was very excited and excited, and he couldn't wait.
For the sake of imperial power, He Bayue's request will be granted, I will give it to you in Kansai, and I will get you some gifts when it is over, and I will simply give Bashu to you, however, the Bashu region belongs to the Liang Guokong zhì district, and if you have the ability to take it, it will be yours. In order to facilitate the communication between Kansai and Luoyang, and also to win over Yuwentai, Yuan Xiu added an official to Yuwentai, named him General Wuwei, and included Yuwentai in the royal forbidden army series and became an official forbidden army officer. Yuwentai completed his mission, happily entered the customs to report to He Bayue, and He Bayue began to prepare for the passage of the pass.
Soon, Chang'an ushered in a special envoy from the imperial court, announcing the appointment of He Bayue as the governor of Yong, Hua, Donghua, Qi, Nanqi, Feng, Yuan, He, Wei, Jing, Xia, Dongxia, Qin, Southern Qin, Liang, Southern Liang, Dongliang, Ba, Yi, Dongyi and other 20 states of military and Yongzhou assassins.
In this way, Yuan Xiu handed over the military command of Guan Long and Bashu to He Bayue. After announcing the appointment, the envoy motioned for everyone to stand down, and he wanted to speak to Hobatak alone. When there were only two people in the room, the messenger carefully took out a small package from his bosom, unwrapped it, and inside was a silk handkerchief, on which was painted a bright red heart-shaped pattern.
& It is the blood of the heart of the Supreme, and the meaning of it, Hobalt should understand. "This thing is heavy enough. The emperor is going to dig out his heart with He Bayue. He Bayue excitedly asked the messenger to return to his life: even if Adou mud is smeared with liver and brain, he will never live up to His Majesty's trust. With the Shang Fang Sword. It was much smoother to do things, so He Batyue took the name of being ordered to herd horses. led the troops to Pingliang. The climate in Pingliang is warm and humid, and the water and grass are abundant, which is the best pasture for raising military horses.
The entire Longyou was shaken, He Bayue made it clear that whoever disobeyed would fight with whom, plus the division was famous, according to the emperor's intentions, everyone regardless of whether it was the assassin or the governor, they all had him as the core. If you want to resist, you will definitely be charged with rebellion. Then it's not as simple as opposing Hebatyue.
In a word, the current He Batyue is not fighting alone, he has the emperor or the Great Wei Dynasty behind him as a backer. Although Hou Mo Chen Yue was not convinced, there was no way, originally Qinzhou, Southern Qinzhou, Hezhou and Weizhou belonged to Hou Mo Chen Yue's territory, but under the current situation, Hou Mo Chen Yue knew that he did not have the strength to argue with He Batyue, so the four states met in Pingliang and expressed their willingness to accept He Batyue's leadership.
In order to show his sincerity, he was willing to sacrifice Xiazhou. Let He Batyue send someone to replace him as the assassin. In view of the important status of Xiazhou, He Bayue sent his henchman Yuwentai to replace Huba Mi Otu as the assassin Shi, and before leaving, Yuwentai left his nephew Yuwen Hu and nephew He Lanxiang by He Bayue's side as the governor of the tent.
Yuwen Hu is Yuwen Hao's youngest son, Yuwen Sabao. When Yuwentai went west with He Bayue, the old and young people of Yuwen's family who could not join the army and fight stayed in Jinyang, and after the defeat of Erzhu Tianguang, He Bayue took the opportunity to send people to Jinyang to take his family to Kansai. Yuwentai also took Yuwenhu, Helanxiang and others over.
With Yuwentai's economic strength, he was not yet able to support a large family, so the others continued to stay in Jinyang. No one thought that it would be difficult to say goodbye to the sky since then.
Now. Yuwentai is about to leave He Bayue to take office in Xiazhou, for the sake of Yuwenhu and He Lanxiang's future, he left the two behind, after all, there are more opportunities for promotion by the leader's side. He Bayue admired the two young people very much, especially liked He Lanxiang, and promised to marry his niece to He Lanxiang. Kansai shape shì is a great thing.
Fei Yetou's Wan Qian was subjected to Luogan, Hexi Liumin Sudouling Yili, and Gaoche tribe Hulu Shamen also expressed their attachment, and Lingzhou Thorn Shi Cao Ni was forced to send someone to ask for a representative.
Lingzhou is located in a remote area, Cao Ni has always been close to Gao Huan, of course He Batyue is not worried that Cao Ni will continue to govern, so he sent the former Luozhou assassin Yuan Jihai to Lingzhou to replace Cao Ni, it turns out that Cao Ni is not an expedient measure, the so-called invitation is just a polite word, and now seeing He Batyue move really, Cao Ni quit, leading Lingzhou soldiers to resist Yuan Jihai, Yuan Jihai was broken, He Batyue was very angry.
When He Batyue passed through the pass and Longyou made outstanding achievements, He Batsheng took Dugu as he wished to carry out very smoothly in Jingzhou, and even went down to Fengyi, Anding, Chuyang and other places in Southern Liang, and the military power was greatly enhanced.
For the toss of the Heba brothers, one west and one south, the behind-the-scenes director Xiaowu Emperor Yuan Xiu was happy, but the prime minister Gao Huan was angry. Gao Huan was about to make a move, he first sent Zhai Song to Longyou to rebel against Hou Mo Chenyue, and then sent people to Longyou to recruit Azhiluo and the exiles entrenched in Hexi, the Yili Department of Sudouling, so as to disintegrate the periphery of Guanzhong.
The Azhiluo people have been outside the Great Wei since the Six Towns Uprising, and these tribal armed forces have no political concept, anyway, as long as there are benefits, now they see the prime minister's envoy, and the first minister of the Great Wei is naturally indispensable, so they expressed their willingness to belong. However, the Azhiluo people only recognized Gao Huan, in other words, no one else put it, so Gao Huan set up a big platform and personally served as the secretary of the stage to manage this strange army.
Gao Huan did not disappoint the Azhiluo people, there was everything in grain, rice, noodles, clothes, cloth, and silk, and this seemingly unprofitable investment was criticized by many people, but Gao Huan ignored it, and treated them as always, and the chief spit out Chen Thanksgiving, and swore allegiance to the prime minister of the Great Wei Dynasty. The Azhiluo people easily handled it, but Hexi ran into trouble, and Hou Jing, the special envoy of the prime minister, hit the nail several times.
It's not difficult to understand when you think about it, the exiles in Hexi have always regarded Gao Huan as an enemy, and it was Gao Huan who colluded with Er Zhuzhao to drive us back to Hexi from Bingzhou, and the leader Sudouling Bufan was finished. Moreover, the current tribal leader Sudouling Yili already has He Batyue as a backer, and it is said that behind He Batyue is the Great Wei Emperor, so Sudouling Yili turned a deaf ear to the call of the Great Prime Minister.
In a fit of rage, Gao Huan suddenly led his troops to attack Hexi, and the Jinyang army broke through the people in Hexi and captured Yili in Douling. Then Gao Huan moved the people in the west of the river to the east of the Wuyuan River, and the east of the river was Gao Huan's sphere of influence.
For Gao Huan's behavior. Yuan Xiu was very annoyed, and Sudouling Yili did not invade others and did not betray the imperial court. is the so-called pure minister of the country, Gao Huan, as the prime minister, crusaded for no reason, and he refused to even ask for instructions in advance, and he didn't even take me as the emperor in his eyes.
What is the emperor, does Gao Huan have your seat without me? In fact, Gao Huan can't be completely blamed for not asking for instructions for this matter, Gao Huan is also very embarrassed, originally he wanted to give He Bayue a little color, but if he asked for instructions in advance, first, the emperor would definitely not allow it. Second, the news was leaked in advance, and He Batyue must be prepared.
In that case, the effect of the raid will be greatly reduced. How will He Batyue react to Gao Huan's action?
He Bayue was very annoyed, Gao Huan didn't take himself seriously, Sudouling Yili had already surrendered to me, on the surface, he He Liuhun was beating the Hexi refugees, but in fact, he was slapping me in the face. He Batyue decided to return the favor to Gao Huan.
The problem is that Gao Huan is still a great prime minister above 10,000 people under one person. In terms of organizational relations, anyone except the emperor must obey him, in fact, the emperor also has to listen to him, so Gao Huan can be justified in beating Hexi, and you should fight if you don't listen to the prime minister. There is no difference between being anti-prime minister and anti-court.
However, it is unrealistic for the Kwantan Army to cross the river and directly oppose Gao Huan, and Gao Huan has not shown any traces of reverse. Hedong Prefectures, whether they are pro-Gao Huan or pro-Yuan Xiu, are still Yuan Xiu's courtiers in name, and everyone is a boss, so they are all colleagues. Whoever provokes infighting first is a rebel and a thief, so. From this point of view, He Batyue directly challenged Gao Huanshi, and he was unknown. He Bayue still found a target to hit Gao Huan.
This target is Lingzhou, in fact, Lingzhou Assassin Shi Cao Ni has always been with Gao Huan, and once expelled the assassin Shi Yuan Jihai sent by He Batyue, which made He Batyue very faceless.
Lingzhou is located in a remote area in the northwest, and geographically belongs to a part of the Great Pass, and Gao Huan's hand can't reach it no matter how long it is. In addition, there is only this one nail left in the entire Guanlong area, He Batyue has become the soil emperor of Guanxi since the garrison Pingliang, and he is too smooth, and people are too smooth and easy to get hot-headed, so He Batyue is a little fluttering unconsciously, so he can't find a reason to let him go no matter how he looks at Cao Ni, who refuses to obey orders.
Killing Cao Ni has the effect of killing two birds with one stone, and the nail in his eye is pulled out and he carries the side drum that beats Gao Huan. Yuwentai can always come up with some good ideas when he is around, so He Bayue always habitually asks his brother's opinion when deciding on major matters, but at this time Yuwentai has been sent to Xiazhou by him, so He Bayue asked the governor Zhao Gui to go on a trip to Tongwancheng.
Zhao Gui arrived in Xiazhou, he was surprised to find that in just a few months, Xiazhou has restored order, at the beginning, because Xiazhou is connected to Hexi, the Hu people in the territory are brave and ruthless and often make trouble, so He Batyue discussed with the generals to find a person with both ability and political integrity to guard, at that time everyone jointly recommended Xingtai Zuo Cheng Yuwentai, He Batyue was reluctant to let Yuwentai leave his side, but thought of Xiazhou's heavy responsibility, had to endure the pain of love.
After Yuwentai arrived in the state, the laws and regulations were strict, the rewards and punishments were clear, and the people returned to their hearts. It seems that He Bagong is using the right person, and Zhao Gui can't help but admire Yuwentai.
After the two met, Zhao Gui told Yuwentai about the purpose of this trip. Yuwentai was shocked: Brother Fu, it seems that you and I don't have time to catch up, you hurry back and tell Marshal Sù, a lonely city like Lingzhou, located in a remote area, don't worry, what we really have to guard against is Hou Mo Chen Yue, this person is greedy and untrustworthy, and we must plan early. Yu Wentai thought that He Batyue should first kill Hou Mo Chen Yue to eliminate future troubles, if he rashly attacked Lingzhou, once Hou Mo Chen Yue made a move, He Batyue would be in danger.
Zhao Gui immediately returned to report Yuwentai's opinion to He Batyue, who was unimpressed after hearing it. In fact, guarding against Hou Mo Chen Yue is not Yu Wentai alone, and Lei Shao, a fellow countryman of Shi Wuchuan, the former director of Daxing, has also kept his distance from Hou Mo Chen Yue many times. Hou Mo Chen Yue, as the most powerful faction in Longyou, has already expressed his obedience to himself, and there is no reason to beat him.
In fact, He Bayue has always looked down on Hou Mo Chen Yue, although he was Erzhu Tianguang's deputy like himself when he entered the customs, but he has always followed Erzhu Tianguang, and not all the evil battles are fought by himself.
If Hou Mo Chen Yue wants to go against him, I'm afraid that even if he has the heart, he doesn't have the courage to do so. But He Batyue did not completely ignore Yuwentai's words, in order to prevent Hou Mo Chen Yue from taking advantage of his expedition to copy his own back road, He Batyue decided to join Hou Mo Chen Yue to crusade against Cao Ni.
A small Lingzhou is really not worth such a big fight, Hou Mo Chen Yue naturally understands He Batyue's intentions, but He Batyue's move is exactly what he wants. It turned out that Gao Huan's subordinate Zhai Song had arrived in Qinzhou, and before coming to Qinzhou, Zhai Song had boasted in front of Gao Huan that Haikou would definitely divide the Kansai Twin Heroes and let them kill each other and eliminate Gao Huan's worries.
Under Zhai Song's flickering, Hou Mo Chen Yue felt that he had to kill He Batyue to have a way out, originally the two were equal, but now he had to listen to He Batyue's temperance, this evil breath was really unbearable. Secondly, Hou Mo Chen Yue also knew that He Bayue was not at ease with him, and it was a matter of time before the two of them turned their faces, since Prime Minister Gao Huan supported him, what else was there to say. Hou Mo Chen Yue was worried that he didn't have a chance to start, and He Bayue's conscription order arrived.
Hou Mo Chen Yue happily accepted He Batyue's order. Hou Mo Chen Yue led his troops and stationed them in Gaoping, waiting for He Bayue's next instructions. He Batyue was very happy, and invited Hou Mo Chen Yue several times in the Pingliang Army, and Hou Mo Chen Yue invited He Batyue back in Gaoping, and the two ate and drank, talked loudly, and were like a family. How did He Batyue know that on the surface, the eldest brother is long and the eldest brother is short, but in his heart he has been playing his own ideas.
In the first month of 534 AD, under the cold wind, the Yellow River was frozen for thousands of miles, and Lingzhou lost a natural barrier. Hou Mo Chen Yue sent someone to invite He Bayue to come over to discuss the battle plan.
He Batyue came to Hou Mo Chen Yue's camp with a few personal soldiers, Hou Mo Chen Yue welcomed He Batyue into the Chinese army's tent, and the two began to discuss combat matters. After chatting for a while, Hou Mo Chen Yue suddenly covered his stomach and shouted that his stomach hurt, and then got up and went out of the account. He Batyue still didn't realize the imminent danger, he thought that Hou Mo Chen Yue just went out to pay respects and would come back in a while, so he sat in the tent and waited patiently. What He Bayue never expected was that he had fallen into the trap carefully planned by Hou Mo Chen Yue.
When He Batyue was waiting for Hou Mo Chen Yue to come back and continue to discuss military issues, Yuan Hongye, the son-in-law of Hou Mo Chen Yue, who was serving on the side, suddenly pulled out a knife and slashed over. The soldiers on the left and right saw that the marshal had suffered a tragic disaster, and they didn't dare to do anything on other people's territory, so they still had to flee for their lives, so they scattered in shock. When the news reached the Pingliang camp, there was an uproar in He Bayue's army, and everyone was stunned, this matter was too sudden.
Hou Mo Chen Yue sent people to the camp of Hebayue to announce: I will not accept the order, only one person, everyone should not panic. It means that I was ordered from above, and it was only for Hebatyue, and it had nothing to do with others. The generals couldn't figure out Hou Mo Chen Yue's hole cards for a while, was the emperor ordering the execution of the marshal (to be continued......
