Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The battle of Shangjing is over, and the chaos in Yanyun continues.
Most of the elites of the Liao State were transferred to Shangjing, except for Yelu Shuogu and Xiao Zhili, who each had an army that had been able to fight, most of the troops who stayed in Yanyun were miscellaneous troops, Yelu Shuogu arrived in Youzhou and then recruited Hu and Han men and horses into the army, and finally had as many as 60,000 troops, plus Xiao Zhili came from Yunzhou to Hui, the Khitan soldiers and horses were as many as 80,000, and the proportion of these 80,000 horse elite soldiers was not much, and more than half of them were not well trained, but there was more than enough to drive the people.
In the six prefectures of You, Zhuo, Confucian, Tan, Ji, and Shun, the Khitan used the system of protecting armor and sitting together, drawing one ding from each household as a militia, monitoring the Han soldiers with Hu pawns, and driving Han people from other lands with Han pawns.
Although it was promised that the fields would be rationed in Liaodong, this was different from the original Jinbei matter, which had no place to return after the catastrophe, and the disaster had nothing to do with Tiance, Tiance had an arrangement as a benefactor, and the Jin people had no better choice but to obey. But there are no natural disasters in Yandi, and the people of Yandi are relocated to the land, who is willing to leave lightly?
When the order was handed down, there was a bloody rebellion on the spot, because the Khitan had been prepared, the Yan people had been cut off by the armor protection system and could not be contacted on a large scale, and several rebellions were hot-blooded and young for a while, and they shouted angrily, and the crowd gathered, all of which were improvised, neither organized nor disciplined, and the Khitan who had been prepared for a long time was quickly pacified.
And most of the families are drawn from the strong men, the women and children are thinking of their husbands and brothers who have been drawn into the army, and the strong men who have been enlisted in the army are thinking of the families who are being monitored, most of them dare not act rashly, although there is still resistance, but they have all become independent and unable to fight, Rao is so, the Khitan butcher's knife still kills thousands of households, and the corpses are like mounds. In the end, this so-called migration turned into population plunder, with 80,000 soldiers and horses driving hundreds of thousands of people, and everything that could be removed was removed, and those who could not be moved were burned.
The whole of Youzhou. Seventy percent of the population was captured by the Khitan, one percent was hidden, one percent escaped, and one percent of the victims, after the expulsion, the ground in Youzhou was desolate, like a ghost domain!
——————————
At this time, the border of Liaojin and Jin Dynasty had already been under martial law, but this movement was too big, and many Yan people fled across the border. Many even fled outside the Jin army camp for help, and Du Chongwei learned about it.
Jing Yanguang and Fu Yanqing were all shocked when they heard the news, Jing Yanguang's eyes were split, and he said angrily: "Are the Khitan people of my Han family pigs and dogs!" Marshal, we hurried into the army, as soon as we came to the Khitan to drive the people, there were troubles inside, and it would be difficult to prepare for them outside. It's just a blow to break it! Second, I can also take advantage of the situation to save the people of my Han family. ”
Fu Yanqing also said: "At this time, a big victory can be expected!" ”
Du Chongwei said: "Now enter the army? Wouldn't that be a war with the Khitan? ”
Pioneer Shi Gongba said loudly: "If you start a war, you will go to war!" have been bullied into this bird's appearance. Don't you want to fight yet? ”
Du Chongwei said solemnly: "Before leaving, Your Majesty ordered three times and five times, what did you say?" If you want to start a war against the Khitan, will you be responsible or I will be responsible at that time? ”
Jing Yanguang shouted: "Are you just watching the Khitans empty Youzhou under our noses? ”
Du Chongwei muttered: "Whether to rescue or not, I will discuss it after I ask His Majesty for advice." ”
Jing Yanguang exclaimed: "Ask Your Majesty for advice? Here to the Beijing division back and forth. When His Majesty's decree is issued, the dishes are cold! Dashuai, you can't hesitate in this matter, you must attack immediately! ”
Du Chongwei said: "Okay, I will allow you to fight." However, after the battle, you need to cut off your own level and send it to the Beijing Division, even if you pick up this burden, how about it? ”
Fu Yanqing was old, Jing Yanguang was just generous, and he didn't speak anymore, and Shi Gongba didn't dare to say anything when he saw that the two deputy marshals didn't speak.
Fu Yanqing said: "If we don't rescue, when the news comes out in the future, we will all be poked in the back!" ”
Du Chongwei said: "It's not that you can't save it, but you have to understand the situation before you act, and then we have to keep an eye on the north side of Jinbei!" And we ask His Majesty for a decree, and after the decree is handed down, we will act according to the will, and the infamy will will not fall on our heads. ”
He immediately sent a messenger to question the Khitan, and Yelu Shuogu sent someone to reply: "The original agreement between the two families was only to deliver Yanyun, not to say that the people of Yanyun were delivered. What the son of your Shi family wants is land, and you didn't say that you want the population, so we took away these noisy people to clean up the households for the son of the Shi family. Once we've cleared the portal, you'll be ready to move in. ”
Jing Yanguang, Fu Yanqing and the others all heard the secret fire, but Du Chongwei said: "Since the Khitan has moved the people, there is no intention of staying for a long time, and we will be able to recover Yanyun without a fight this time, which is actually a good thing." ”
Jing Yanguang Fu Yanqing saw that Du Chongwei didn't take Yan Min's life or death to heart, and secretly said cold, but Du Chongwei didn't realize it, not only did he not save it, but in order to avoid extraneous branches, he ordered to block the border to prevent leakage of news - such a major event, in the long run, it will definitely not be blocked, but Liao and Jin have been divided into two countries, the border itself is under martial law, and there are mountains and rivers between the Yan Dynasty, Du Chongwei set up soldiers and horses in several passes to prevent refugees from escaping, and sure enough, he successfully blocked the news, and Yan Di turned the world upside down, Yunzhou and other places in Hebei did not hear any news for a while.
But Du Chongwei hid the people of Hebei and Northern Jin for a while, but he couldn't hide the soldiers who carried out military affairs, and the soldiers and horses of the Jin army watched their compatriots crying and moaning in the Northern Boundary, but the commander turned a deaf ear to it, and even blocked their retreat! Although the soldiers of the Jin army did not have such a high consciousness and would mutiny because of this, it was inevitable that their morale would be low.
——————————
At this moment, there was another shocking change in the north of Jinbei - Yunzhou changed hands!
Jing Yanguang said: "Take a look, take a look!" Khitan treacherous sex! This side is sloppy with us, and that side actually handed over Yunzhou to Tiance! ”
Du Chongwei was very dissatisfied, and sent someone to question the Khitan, Jing Yanguang retreated and whispered to Fu Yanqing angrily: "This also asks the Khitan, then also asks the Khitan!" In addition to dodging, what can the Khitan ask? What else did we send! Just let a few scholars come over! ”
Fu Yanqing said lightly: "We went north this time, originally to fight Tiance, not to fight the Khitan, the boss's approach is actually in the arms of His Majesty - if Du Chongwei is the one who will fight the Khitan on his back, His Majesty will not send him - don't you understand now?" ”
Jing Yanguang said hatefully: "It's not that I don't understand. It's just that when things come to an end, I can't help but feel aggrieved! ”
Fu Yanqing said: "When you should be aggrieved, you should be aggrieved, our parents, wives and children are being pinched in Luoyang, if you don't feel aggrieved, how can you go back and reunite with us?" Our luck is better than Gao Xingzhou, who is now blocked outside the Great Wall. I don't know if I'll be able to come back! ”
Sure enough, the Khitan sent an envoy to reply that Yunzhou was not transferred to Tiance, but lost to Tiance - it was attacked by Tiance and captured the city. Du Chongwei didn't know the shape of the northern Jin Dynasty at this time, although Jing Yanguang and Fu Yanqing had doubts, Du Chongwei was Khitan, and he believed what the Khitan said.
——————————
In Yanmen Pass, Shi Chonggui got the news of Yunzhou Yizhi earlier than Du Chongwei, when Du Chongwei was inquiring back and forth with the Khitan. Shi Chonggui has summoned the generals to prepare for action, if Shi Chonggui had been indomitable to drive out of Yanmen Pass, but he has been stationed in Yanmen Pass for a long time, up to two months and a half without progress, unconsciously developed the inertia of delay, when Bai Chengfu went north, he had received the rumor, at that time Yao Yuanfu asked Shuozhou, but Shi Chonggui wanted to ensure that the news was accurate. There was no first action.
waited until it was confirmed that Yunzhou had really changed hands, and Shi Chonggui was ready to do it. Summoning An Chongrong Yao Yuanfu to discuss major matters.
Yao Yuanfu said: "The Khitan still has the strength to fight in Yunzhou - that is the soldiers and horses arranged to pull Xue Fu's hind legs, just relying on the manpower that Zhi De put together, against Xiao Zhili, the field battle will be defeated, let alone the siege - even if it really attacks the city gate, Xiao Zhili can drive them out!" This trip to Yunzhou changed hands. It must have been deliberately done by the Khitans. ”
Shi Chonggui said: "In this case, are we going out of the customs, or are we not going out?" ”
Yao Yuanfu said: "Out! Of course it has to be out! When Yunzhou was still in the hands of the Khitan, we had an excuse to shirk, but now Yunzhou has fallen into the hands of Tiance. If we don't send troops to retrieve it, we won't be able to explain it in front of His Majesty in the future! ”
Shi Chonggui asked again: "If you send troops, what are the odds of victory?" ”
Yao Yuanfu said: "Brother An has passed the customs and negotiated with the bandits, so he should know the truth of the other better than me." ”
An Chongrong said: "Zhede is a barn to promote the army, and Bai Chengfu is a mixed beard, if it is a field battle, it will not be our enemy." ”
Shi Chonggui said: "But now that Yunzhou has changed hands, what if they rely on the city to defend it?" ”
An Chongrong said: "This is a bit troublesome. At the beginning, I just thought that it would not be enough for the boy and Bai Chengfu to be in trouble, but I didn't expect that the Khitan would hand over Yunzhou to Tiance! The walls of Yunzhou City are high, and the morale of these people is not low. ”
Shi Chonggui said: "How is that good?" ”
An Chongrong said: "Now that Gao Xingzhou has been cut off, it is imperative to send troops!" There is a plan for the subordinates, we can go out of Yanmen first, collect the prefectures and counties all the way, pacify Shuo, Ying, and Huanzhou, and at the same time Chishu East Road, please Du Shuai send troops to the west, when the time comes, our army will force the south of Yunzhou, the east army will force the east of Yunzhou, and Gao Xingzhou will come from the west again, which is the trend of encirclement! No matter how strong the city of Yunzhou is, it can't stop our three armies from joining forces! This is the best way to go. ”
When Yao Yuanfu heard this, he said, "This plan is not appropriate!" Yunzhou changed hands in a hurry, we must fight fast, before Tiance gained a firm foothold, the army forced Yunzhou City, Tiance first won Yunzhou, the defense must not be thorough, our army suddenly arrived, even if it was a lone army attacking the city, seven or eight out of ten can also win! ”
Shi Chonggui said: "Seven or eight times out of ten, that's not perfect after all." ”
Yao Yuanfu said: "Marching and fighting, how can there be everything!" But if you advance slowly, close the prefectures and counties along the way, and wait until you reach the city of Yunzhou, Tiance has already prepared! Don't forget, Xue Fu has already gone north! The victory or defeat of Shangjing must be decided in the near future, and recently there are rumors that Zhang Longxiang is also going to come to Elechuan, so it is postponed, in case Yang Yi wins on the side of Shangjing, and then Zhang Mai swept from the west, at that time, the two sides attacked, who dared to resist? Who can resist! ”
Zhang Mai Xilai and Yang Yi went south......
Just thinking of this scene, Shi Chonggui's scalp is numb!
"And what do you mean?"
Yao Yuanfu said: "Ride lightly, don't take the state and county, and go straight to Yunzhou!" ”
Originally, the army fought without the reason for a long-distance march around the city - it was equivalent to selling the back to the enemy, but at this time, the situation in the north of Jin was special, and there was no clear position of local armed forces in various places, and it was actually a kind of neutral attitude between Tang and Jin.
An Chongrong said: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to rush forward on a light horse." ”
Shi Chonggui asked, "What's wrong?" ”
An Chongrong: "Rushing forward with light horses, then Shuo and the states should be undecided, and Du Chongwei's character." Seeing that we have already moved, it is estimated that the East Road Army will not enter the generation. When the time comes, we will rush to the city of Yunzhou, if we can break the city in one fell swoop, it is good to say, if not, then the light cavalry will be trapped under the city of Yunzhou. As Brother Yao said, Zhang Mai may come west. If Yang Yi wins, he may also go south - if there is really that time, Tiance will definitely be powerful, I am afraid that all the states of Shuoying will respond, and the army of the East Road will not enter the dynasty! At that time, our back road was cut off, and if reinforcements did not arrive, it was not in vain, but embattled! ”
The two of them insisted on their own words, which sounded reasonable, just when Shi Chonggui hesitated. The subordinates came to report that a messenger had arrived in Yunzhou.
Yao Yuanfu said: "Tiance sent a messenger at this time, most of them to try to delay, stay behind and don't fall for it!" ”
An Chongrong said: "No matter what he wants, just see what he says." ”
——————————
The one who entered Yanmen was a young man, who looked like he was only in his twenties, but the top management of Tiance was generally younger, so Yao Yuanfu and the others did not dare to underestimate him because of his age, Shi Chonggui looked at Zhao Pu. seemed to feel a little familiar, and sneered: "Your army has been talking loudly. Why should the children of the Han family work together to fight against Hulu, but now they are defrauding Yunzhou behind our backs, Huaxia has always been a country of faith, but you Tiance always do things without faith and righteousness, is it a habit developed in the Western Regions? ”
An Chongrong is a strong party. is famous, but Zhao Pu is still unknown, but as the messenger of Tiance, the country behind him is strong, and his own confidence is strong. In the face of An Chongrong, he was also fearless, and replied with a smile: "This deception is too much!" How can our army ever deceive! We never wanted this Yunzhou City, it was given to us by the Khitan itself. ”
When these words came out, Yao Yuanfu almost blew his lungs - not Qi Zhao Pu, not Qi Tiance, but Qi Khitan! He had long suspected that the Khitan would not lose the city so easily, but now when he heard it, it confirmed his thoughts.
Zhao Pu said again: "We have never cheated, but General An, at the beginning, Your Excellency made a bet with our army to make a bet with Shuozhou, and now how is this bet going to end?" ”
When An Chongrong heard this, his old face couldn't help but turn red, and the sneer on the corner of his mouth became extremely far-fetched.
At the beginning, Zhe Delan and An Chongrong made a bet in Shuozhou, and Zhe Deyan said, "The army of Shi Jin Sanlu will not dare to fight with the Khitan when it goes north, but it may fight with Tiance!" He also accused Shi Jingjiao of colluding with the Hu people, and wanted to help the Khitan people fight the Tiance Tang Army, help Hu attack the Han, and let the Han people fight their own families!
At that time, An Chongrong naturally wanted to help Shi Jin distinguish, so the two sides made a gambling agreement for a period of three months: within three months, Shuozhou will be autonomous, and if things turn out as An Chongrong said, Shuozhou will return to Jin; But if things are as Zhede said, Shuozhou will return to Tang.
As a result, it didn't take more than a month, Gao Xingzhou and the Tiance army did it - and it passed under the city of Yunzhou in a grand manner, and the Khitans did not go out of the city to intercept it, and even assisted some grain and grass, and then forced the Tiance soldiers and horses approaching Yunzhou out of the Great Wall - At that time, a discerning person could see that Shi Jin and the Khitan had colluded! The descendants of this incident were greatly disappointed in the Shijin Dynasty, and An Chongrong's prestige in Shuozhou was also greatly hit, at this time, Zhao Pu suddenly mentioned it again, and An Chongrong almost couldn't get off the stage for a while!
Yao Yuanfu and An Chongrong have a good relationship, although there is a conflict between the two of them on the matter of sending troops, but at this time, they have to stand on the same front, and they take over the conversation and say: "That is the behavior of Gao Xingzhou, and it has nothing to do with General An." Besides, that's what you forced to do! The Khitan has already said that they want to return the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun to us, but you have traveled thousands of miles to seize the land, how can our army tolerate waiting for you! ”
Zhao Pu said with a smile: "Our marshal has already sent an envoy to your Jin lord to mention that the two families will join forces to chase the Khitan, as long as your lord nods and retrieves Youyun, even if you want to hand over Youyun to you, it is okay - after all, we are all children of the Han family, and the final return to Tang and Jin is still in the hands of the Han family." It's a pity that your lord has eaten the scales and has an iron heart, and he must collude with Hu Lu, otherwise the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun would have returned to China long ago! ”
Yao Yuanfu was standing on the opposite side of Tiance at this time, and hated Tiance's discourse system that did not deviate from the righteousness of China in everything, but he couldn't do anything about the other party - Tiance Tang Jun did a good job, even if he habitually pulled out the banner of righteousness, people couldn't find fault with it, who made Shi Jingjiao's body too dirty, even if he wanted to use righteousness as a coat, he couldn't hide the filth all over his body!
Therefore, Yao Yuanfu was also reluctant to talk about righteousness with Zhao Pu - Shi Jin was too weak in this regard!
Yao Yuanfu was about to refute, when a voice came out of the hall: "Father is reluctant to join hands with your lord, just because he has insight into Zhang Longxiang's conspiracy and knows that you have always said one thing and done another. Sure enough, after all, you were the first to steal Yunzhou. ”
An Chongrong Yao Yuanfu remembered that Shi Chonggui had been waiting inside for a long time, and hurriedly led Zhao Pu into the interior to salute, Zhao Pu looked at Shi Chonggui and saw that he was only about thirty years old. The eyebrows are high, but the face is sorrowful, there is horizontal flesh between the cheeks, and the facial features have obvious Hu characteristics, and the heart said: "You Shatuo is the master of the Central Plains, although you have Luoyang, but after all, it is a Hu species!" Unlike the marshal of my family, although he is from the Western Regions, anyone who sees it will know that he is a descendant of the Han family! ”
At this time, he did not use this to shock Shi Chonggui's nerves. Just continued his previous words and said: "Staying behind is too ulterior motives. Besides, the land falls into the hands of Hu Lu, and it will not damage the festival by any means to get it back, don't talk about stealing, even if you rob us, you have to grab it back! ”
Shi Chonggui said: "Whether it's stealing or robbing, you have really arrived in Yunzhou, Cao Yuanzhong sent you, are you here to demonstrate?" ”
"How dare you!" Zhao Pudao: "Staying behind knows that Yunzhou is now General Cao's business. Presumably, we should also know General Cao's status in our country. ”
Cao Yuanzhong is a general above the Tang Dynasty, and he was named earlier than Guo Wei. Of course, the private discussion in the Tiance army has always been Guo Luo, Yang Yi, Xue Fu Guo Wei, even if Shi Ba Xi Sheng is ranked down, Cao Yuanzhong will not be ranked. Just because Cao Yuanzhong was able to be crowned a general because of political considerations, not because his own military merits were enough to deserve it, so the gold content could not be equal to Xue Fu Guo Wei, Yang Yi was injured, and Xue Fu led the whole army to serve the public. If you change Cao Yuanzhong, it won't work.
Of course, Cao Yuanzhong's meritorious service in recent years is equivalent to being awarded the title first, and then making up for his work, and he is gradually valued as a general.
Zhao Pu said: "General Cao is my Tang Dynasty pro-noble general, this time he went north with heavy responsibilities, and the marshal promised to his face: General Cao can act cheaply in the land east of the Ele River." Therefore, although Yunzhou is in the hands of our army at the moment, if there are righteous people who stay behind, then the ownership of Yunzhou can still be discussed. ”
This sentence was a bit unexpected by Shi Chonggui: "What do you mean? ”
"The lord of your country is deeply involved with the Khitan, and it is difficult to return, and we have long expected that we will not fight against Hulu with our lord, but we will stay behind with great righteousness, and during this time, we will have heavy troops and not go out of Yanmen, so as to avoid the battle between the two families and let the Khitans see the jokes, so that General Cao deeply feels that there are still righteous people in the Central Plains! Therefore, although the lieutenant commander of our army has a complaint about your lord, he admires the righteousness of staying behind. ”
Zhao Pu is obviously sycophant, Shi Chonggui is also comfortable to listen to, in terms of the position of the Khitan, Shi Chonggui and Shi Jingjiao are indeed different, Shi Chonggui has always believed that there is no need for the Central Plains to curry favor with the Liao State, even if it is cited as an ally, at least it must be an equal position, not like now being led by the Khitan by the nose.
However, after all, he was not a person who would be stunned by a word of flattery, his face was calm, and he said in a flat tone: "Defending the land and defending the country and defending the insults from outside the country is the duty of the Chinese." But my Great Jin is orthodox, and Yunzhou should return to China, and it can't fall into the hands of you Xiliang. ”
Zhao Pudao: "Who is orthodox, when the Khitan is destroyed, let's close the door and then discuss ......"
Halfway through this, I unconsciously looked arrogant!
An Chongrong and Yao Yuanfu glanced at each other, and thought in their hearts: "Listening to this tone, could it be that Tiance is really completely sure that he can destroy the Khitan this time?" ”
"As for Yunzhou," Zhao Pu continued, "General Cao admires the righteousness of staying behind, and is still willing to hand it over to those who stay behind." ”
As soon as these words came out, whether it was Shi Chonggui, An Chongrong or Yao Yuanfu, they were all surprised!
Before Zhang Mai sent Fan Zhen to Luoyang, he was willing to give up Yan Yun, and the matter is now known to the world, but at that time, Yan Yun was still in the hands of the Khitan after all, and he just made empty promises, and now the meat that has been eaten in his mouth will be spit out again, so it will be different.
Shi Chonggui's face was suspicious and strange, and An Chongrong said: "Is this true? ”
Zhao Pu said: "My Datang has always had an outstanding reputation, when did I never believe it?" ”
Yao Yuanfu said: "If it's serious, I'm afraid there must be conditions, right?" ”
Zhao Pu didn't go around in circles: "Yes!" ”
Yao Yuanfu didn't wait for him to say the conditions, so he laughed and said, "I know that your Tiance is not so kind, there must be a trap here!" Turning his head to Shi Chonggui and said: "Stay behind, don't listen to his nonsense, please ride lightly, a certain wish to be the vanguard, enter Huairen, and then call Gao Xing Zhou Dong, at that time the two sides are surrounded." Why don't you be afraid that Yunzhou will not be down! Why bother talking to him about conditions here! ”
Zhao Pu said with a smile: "General Yao's words, that's it, our army's men and horses in northern Jin, if they fight in the field, are not the opponents of Hedong soldiers and horses, but General Yao knows that Li Yixiu, a branch of the Khan Blood Cavalry Regiment, has also entered the city?" The walls of Yunzhou are high and the city is strong. I Tiance has always been good at guarding the city, and the Khitan did not burn the granary when he left, and now there is still half a year of corn in Yunzhou City, even if General Yao is a soldier at this moment, going north to attack the city, as long as the four gates of our army are closed, it will not be a problem to defend him for three or five months. Not to mention that our marshal has already set up troops to the north at the moment, and now he is about to arrive at the Eilechuan, let Gao Xing Zhou go east? I'm afraid that I will arrive at the city of Yunzhou at that time. It's not just the White Horse Silver Spear Regiment, but also our Marshal Zhang's personal guard army! Even if he is brave in staying behind, what is better than my marshal? ”
There have long been rumors that Zhang Mai is coming to Jinbei, but after all, it is just a folk rumor, and it is the first time that it has been officially said from the mouth of a diplomatic official of Tiance.
Thinking that Zhang Mai was coming, Shi Chonggui and the other three were all heartbroken, and Zhang Mai is now powerful in the world. If he drives the expedition in person, even if Shi Jingjiao comes, he will have to retreat. In the hearts of Shi Chonggui and the others, they really didn't dare to compare themselves with Zhang Mai.
Even so, a loser can't lose the battle, Yao Yuanfu said: "So what! The momentum of the soldiers, only in terms of the pros and cons, the siege of Yunzhou has been completed. With Du Shuai in the east and Yanmen in the south, even if Zhang Longxiang comes, he may not be able to win. ”
Zhao Pu said: "But General Yao is not completely sure, right?" ”
Yao Yuanfu snorted. He doesn't like to talk nonsense, if it's just a man who folds the German wall, he is completely sure of the field battle, if you add Li Yixiu, this success will be a few points lower, as long as Yunzhou City can hold for a while, if Zhang Mai can really come as scheduled, then not only will Yunzhou be difficult to take, but I am afraid that it will fall into a dilemma.
Zhao Pu saw that Yao Yuanfu didn't answer, and said in a slower tone: "Even so, the two of us don't actually need to be tense. This time, the White Horse Silver Spear Regiment is advancing step by step, and my Elechuan army and horse are retreating step by step, is it really that our army is not as good as Gao Xingzhou? Everyone in the world knows that it is not necessarily! The reason why our army retreated was that we didn't want the descendants of the Han family to kill each other in front of the Khitan, and do disgusting things that the relatives and enemies were happy with! This attitude of our army, from the marshal to General Cao to the lieutenant of Zhedu, has been the same from top to bottom, and from the past to the present to the future, it has always been the same. What's more, our army does not have any excessive requirements, as long as the stay can continue to uphold justice, then even if the marshal arrives at the Elechuan in the future, he will not necessarily enter the Great Wall. As for the entire territory of northern Jin, including Yunzhou City, it can also be offered with both hands. ”
This is too generous, not to mention Yao Yuanfu, even An Chongrong can't believe it, Shi Chonggui waved his hand and said, "What are your conditions?" ”
"Our conditions are simple." Zhao Pu said: "Although your lord refuses to join forces with our army to fight against Hu, our General Cao still hopes that staying behind can resist the chaos, set things right, and join forces with our army to attack Youzhou together." The purpose of our army is only to restore the land of the Han family, and on the day the Khitan withdraws from the Great Wall, our army will also return to the Ele River. ”
Yao Yuanfu laughed: "Do you think this is possible?" ”
Zhao Pu said: "Why is it impossible? The Khitan is now a lost dog, as long as the two of us join forces to create a general trend of advancing and retreating together, there is no need to fight at that time, and the defeated dog can generally drive the Khitan away. This is an easy move, and there are no disadvantages in your country, so why not stay behind? ”
Yao Yuanfu snorted: "It's a good thing to say, maybe there are some traps behind it, you really have to cooperate, unless you hand over Yunzhou City first!" So that we can believe that you are sincere. ”
Zhao Pu muttered: "Your three-way army, backed by Hedong and Hebei, is unimpeded to the access, our army is from the Eilechuan, if there is no Yunzhou, as soon as you enter the Yan land, you will be alone, how can you not leave a stronghold as a supply transit?" ”
Yao Yuanfu said with a smile: "If you want the two families to join forces, and supply grain and grass to our army, what are you worried about!" ”
Zhao Puhaha said with a smile: "General Yao's words are about to be a three-year-old child." With the credibility of your country, if our army relies entirely on your country for logistics, in case of elbows and armpits, our army is afraid that it will not be able to return to Qin. To put it mildly, your reputation as Shi Jin is not as strong as ours. ”
Yao Yuanfu said: "If you don't trust, why bother with the alliance? We can't guarantee that you don't take our army as the forerunner and take the opportunity to seize the entire Yanyun! When the time comes, we will bite back, and our three-way army will work hard, and in the end it will just be a wedding dress in vain. ”
Zhao Pudao: "Join forces to take Youzhou together, no matter the field battle or siege, our army will definitely fight to attack the city, and at the same time ensure that even if it is defeated." Our soldiers and horses will not enter the gate of Youzhou City. In this way, General Yao can rest assured. ”
Yao Yuanfu said: "What you say is really good, but because it is too good, people can't believe it." Those who have nothing to do are diligent, either traitors or thieves! In a word, if you really want to make peace, you will dedicate Yunzhou. Otherwise, as long as you hold Yunzhou in your hands for a day, you will not think that we believe that you have any sincerity. ”
Zhao Pu muttered: "In this way, let's each take a step back, as long as your country agrees to cooperate, the East Road army will be activated, and we will let out Yunzhou, how about it?" This is the biggest concession that General Cao can make, if he is not willing to stay. Then let's meet the soldiers under the city of Yunzhou! Speaking of fighting, hmph, I'm not afraid of anyone coming! ”
When it comes to the past achievements of the Tiance Tang Army, don't say that Shi Chonggui is expensive, even Yao Yuanfu has to be cautious, and for Shi Chonggui, since Zhang Mai is coming, then even if he can win with a light cavalry assault as Yao Yuanfu said. Afterwards, Zhang Mai must also take revenge, thinking that he had to directly face the immortal hero who was rampant for thousands of miles and could not be defeated in a hundred battles. Shi Chonggui couldn't help but beat the drum in his heart.
As for the important town without a fight, it was also a big temptation for him.
Shi Chonggui said: "The messenger will go to the post house to rest, this matter is for me to think about." ”
——————————
After Zhao Pu retreated, Shi Chonggui said, "What does Cao Yuanzhong mean by sending someone to say this at this time?" ”
An Chongrong said: "There must be another inside story in this matter, and I want to see its fiction and reality." Can't be limited to the north of Jin, but look at the overall situation of the whole world? ”
"The overall situation in the world?"
An Chongrong said: "The general trend of the world now lies in the victory or defeat of Tang Liao, and the victory or defeat of Tang Liao lies in the success or failure of Shangjing. Zhang Longxiang sent an envoy into Luoyang. Cao Yuanzhong sent an envoy into my Yanmen, and the demand was the same, that is, to lead my troops and horses north to attack the Khitan. I speculated that Cao Yuanzhong would have such a request, and he must be afraid that Yanjing's soldiers and horses would go north to participate in the war, so he would delay Yelu Shuogu's pace. ”
Shi Chonggui said: "Yandi soldiers and horses go north? Is it too late? ”
Yao Yuanfu said: "It stands to reason that it is too late, but what General An said is very reasonable, if it is not so, then what explanation can there be." In my opinion, it may also be that the battle of Shangjing is tight, and Cao Yuanzhong wants to drag Yelu Shuogu, so he is willing to spit out the fat in his mouth. ”
Shi Chonggui said: "If this is the case, how should we deal with it? ”
An Chongrong: "Tang, Liao, West and North Tigers. The two tigers are fighting, and we are reaping the benefits. might as well pretend to agree and take Yunzhou. As long as the clouds start, the national defense line is complete, and at that time, we can resist the Khitan in the north and the Tiance in the west, so why worry! ”
Yao Yuanfu said: "The shrewdness of the generals with the Heavenly Strategy is not just a pretense that can be deceived. ”
Shi Chonggui said: "Didn't the Tang envoy say just now, as long as our East Road army enters Yandi, they will cede Yunzhou, since this is the case, let the East Road army cooperate with us, so that Cao Yuanzhong has nothing to say." At the same time, the soldiers and horses are gradual, collecting Shuozhou and Yingzhou, going north step by step, Chen Bing Yunzhou City, Cao Yuanzhong If he keeps the contract, we will accept the city defense, if he does not keep the contract, we will raise troops to attack! This is a foolproof strategy! ”
Yao Yuan Fuxin said, isn't this the slow-moving strategy that An Chongrong built just now? It's just that a heavenly policy has been added to "maybe" dedicate the city, but Yao Yuanfu can't help but worry, because he always feels that there must be something greasy here.
If you want to admonish again, Shi Chonggui said: "This strategy is very good, so let's do it." ”
——————————
Out of the handsome mansion, Yao Yuanfu scolded An Chongrong and said: "Brother An, don't you know that we have to compete with Cao Yuanzhong for time now?" That dedication agreement, there is equal to nothing! If Zhang Mai really comes west, if Yang Yi wins and then goes south, they want to tear up the agreement, what can we do! Brother An, are you dizzy! ”
An Chongrong looked at no one on the left and right, and said coldly: "It's not me who is dizzy, it's you!" ”
"Me?"
"Your rush strategy makes sense, I don't know, but things go well, in case things don't go well, we are the ones who are trapped, and I don't look at Gao Xingzhou's current situation? But if we can use a slow strategy, what is the worst outcome for us? ”
Yao Yuanfu said: "If Zhang Mai really comes west, if Yang Yi really goes south, we will advance with a rush of troops, and Yunzhou is in hand, at that time we can still fight with the city, but if there is no Yunzhou, Shuo, Huan, Ying and other states and counties are equal to nothing-Zhang Mai's army is pressing, and these places will fall at any time." At that time, I was afraid that Youzhou would fall into the hands of Tiance, and even the soldiers and horses drove south into Hebei, and at that time, it was possible for the country to perish! ”
He said excitedly, but An Chongrong treated it coldly, and his tone was like ice water: "So what? ”
Yao Yuanfu was stunned: "So what?" Then the country will be destroyed! ”
An Chongrong lowered his voice and said, "It's Dead Shi Jin!" It's not a dead country! The throne in Luoyang has always been sat on by the strong and strong, even if it is really replaced by a different person, what loss will there be for us? But if the soldiers and horses in our hands are exhausted, then it will be the real dilemma! ”
Yao Yuanfu's eyes were first surprised, then understood, and then a little gloomy, and said, "I...... See what you mean. ”

Note: "Chinese" in the ancient context is slightly different from "Chinese" in the modern context, and the so-called "Chinese" in ancient times generally refers to the meaning of "Central Plains people". Just as Cao Wei did to Sun Wu, he called himself a man of China. Shi Jin is the same for Tiance. (To be continued......)
