Chapter Fifty-Eight: Admiral He Jin
That being said, but Cheng Liu has been thinking about a question, if he stationed soldiers and horses in his own name, I am afraid that it will attract the attention of Kyoto, but what about the order of the commander who was stationed at Hangu Pass?
Neither will you swallow your own soldiers and horses, but you can also let your own soldiers and horses enter, isn't this a matter of killing two birds with one stone?
So after Cheng Liu decided, he asked Xia Chan to contact the commander of Hangu Pass and ask him to come to the mansion.
Originally, Cheng Liu planned to enter the city by himself, but after thinking about it, now the people of Luoyang are panicking, and the officers and soldiers see that everyone is a believer in Taiping Dao, so they still don't wade into this troubled water at this time.
At dusk, the commander of Hanguguan, who had just taken off his armor, received a message from his subordinates that Cheng Liu, the county guard of Danyang County, invited him to go to the mansion to talk about it.
He knew this journey, and he heard that he won the hearts of the people, although it was only a small county guard, but there were already 150,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and the number was still increasing.
Kyoto is also particularly afraid of his troops, but at this time, the Taiping Dao believers are so arrogant, and it is a good thing that one person can control one side and prevent the Yellow Turban thieves from continuing to wreak havoc.
Speaking of which, Liu Shan also admires this person very much.
He came from a humble background, in order to be the commander of this pass, he had countless military exploits, and made great achievements from the Xiqiang front, his hands were stained with blood, and then after the Xiqiang War came to an end, he took over Hangu Pass.
The days when he didn't go to the battlefield were really boring, but he was already a rough man, and when he saw the other party's invitation, he also agreed very heartily.
At night, he only led a team of followers and slowly marched into the Jianye County Guard's Mansion.
Cheng Liu threw a feast to greet them, and after the two of them took their seats, the rest of the people retreated to the door.
Liu Shan asked heartily, "I don't know why Your Excellency asked me to drink today?" What is this so-called important matter? ”
Seeing that he was so hearty, Cheng Liu was not polite, and directly poured him a bowl full of wine, and then said straight to the point: "Hangu Pass is garrisoned by elite soldiers, although the soldiers are strong and strong, but the current situation is unpredictable, for the sake of safety, Cheng envisioned that the rebel army would use the pass as a breakthrough to drive straight into Luoyang City, so he planned to ......"
Halfway through this, I heard Liu Shan laugh and say: "In that case, don't say much else, do you want the soldiers and horses that Jianye retreated from earlier to garrison back?" ”
Cheng Liulian nodded: "That's exactly what it means!" ”
Unexpectedly, Liu Shan shook his head slightly: "Before I came, I had already thought about it, if your soldiers and horses were mixed with mine, if the rebel army really entered Luoyang from Hangu, then how should I dispatch my soldiers and horses?" ”
This is a pun, indicating that the rebel army may advance from Hangu Pass, and it also hints from the side that Cheng Liu's troops will directly attack Luoyang.
After all, Cheng Liu has recently recruited troops, and he is still at the feet of the Son of Heaven, so he has to guard against it!
Unexpectedly, Cheng Liu had long expected him to say this, but said lightly: "Of course, I obeyed the dispatch, not to mention that in addition to Hangu Pass, there are no less than ten passes, large and small, all of which are stationed outside Kyoto, forming a natural barrier, if the rebel army wants to enter the city at this time, I am afraid it will not be so easy." ”
Liu Shan took a big sip of wine and frowned slightly: "Although I said that, who could have predicted the situation in the future?" ”
Originally, Cheng Liu just thought it would be a little tricky, but now it seems that it is particularly tricky......
"Brother Liu, can't you trust me Cheng?"
Cheng Liu knew that if he was polite at this time, it would have no effect at all, and it would be better to fight against the army.
Sure enough, after these words were spoken, Liu Shan's face suddenly changed.
It's not that I don't believe it, but it's mainly ...... It's a bit tricky! ”
Cheng Liu saw that there was a play, and then said: "It's difficult for others to do, but for you, it's all much simpler." Hangu Pass itself is garrisoned by you, and these large and small passes know that the geographical location of Hangu Pass is more advantageous, but the garrison here is the same as the rest of the passes. ”
"Don't say anything else, if you really don't hold the Hangu Pass, you can't escape the blame from above, right?"
"It's better to believe in Cheng Mou, in short, it's not a bad thing for this soldier and horse to be placed at the pass, at least it can help share the pressure, if there is really any accident, there can be someone to share it with, don't you say?"
These words really made people powerless to refute, and after thinking about it for a long time, I only heard Liu Shan reply: "That's okay, but let's say it, from here on, everything in the future will be done by me, you only need to be responsible for bringing the soldiers and horses in, but the military order is on me." ”
Cheng Liu nodded: "Naturally, everything is up to you." ”
Liu Shan smiled slightly, and after the two clinked glasses with each other, the overall situation was decided.
The next day, Cheng Liu asked Gan Ning to transfer his soldiers and horses in, and asked Liu Shan to give him the position of deputy general.
Liu Shan thought that it was not a big deal, and it was true that Cheng Liu sent more soldiers and horses, which were twice as many as himself, so he agreed.
But just this evening, Sweet Potato received a message from the palace, and the news was not very good.
"Kyoto sent a fierce general, plus the five thousand soldiers and horses who entered the city before, and directly took down the soldiers and horses at each pass, although Liu Shan refused, but after all, it was the rules of the palace, so he could only honestly agree."
This was something Cheng Liu didn't expect, and he hurriedly asked, "What about our own soldiers and horses?" ”
Sweet Potato explained: "I will earn it together, but it is only this time period, and I don't know about it in the future." ”
"And the prefectures and counties in various places are also starting to act, and the imperial court will send a soldier to directly command the soldiers and horses of the remaining prefectures and counties, and directly attack Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Army, it seems that the imperial court does not want to continue to tolerate it."
Cheng Liu asked again: "General, what's your name?" ”
In fact, he already had a faint premonition in his heart, but it was still a little hard to believe.
After all, with Queen He's personality, if she had such courage and courage, he would not have thought about spending a day in Danyang County in the past two years.
But since he killed Emperor Han Ling, he went back and forth to Luoyang several times, and there were no accidents.
On the contrary, Yu Youkui's father-in-law became the backstabber......
Sweet potato glanced at the information and confirmed, "He Jin." ”
He Jin......
……
Yu Youkui visited late at night, she should have arrived two days ago, but there were many checkpoints along the way, all of them were verifying her identity, she didn't want to cause more trouble, so she almost disguised herself all the way into the city.
As soon as he sat down, Cheng Liu asked, "Why didn't you tell me He Jin's information at the first time?" ”
There are many eyes and ears in Yu Youkui's palace, and after He Jin got the military order, it was impossible for her not to know, so why did she deliberately hide this matter?
