Chapters 56-60

What I didn't expect was that Li Feng "lost" to Guan Feng (in fact, with Li Yu's skills, it can be avoided, he heard Guan Feng talk about the meaning of this day and deliberately gave it to Guan Feng), and he was full of good feelings for Guan Feng in his heart, and actually asked me to help him propose to Guan Feng. I regard Guan Feng as my sister, although I also like Li Yu, but I still told him that Guan Feng plans to make contributions on the battlefield at the moment, and has no plans to get married. I'll talk about it in two years

Li Pleiades came to power this time, which is the sincerity of the Xiongnu to me, and it is also Li Pleiadin's sincerity to me, because my reward is the position of school captain. He did this, just in front of 10,000 people, indicating that he wanted to return to Han. But he is a proud person, and Guihan actually made such a big scene.

I summoned Li Yu alone in the Xuan Room. Under the light, his long hair fluttered, his eyebrows were clear, and he looked like he had a bookish atmosphere, not like he was born in a family of military generals, let alone had the blood of the Huns. His hair was not tied up like the Han people, nor was it as fashionable as the Xianbei or Xiongnu, but it was just scattered and draped. When it comes to style, among the young people I have seen, except for Cao Zhao and Wang Jun, there is no one else to compare, and when it comes to martial arts, he is a top master. Speaking of which, during this time, I have discovered countless talents, but getting Li Pleiades is the one thing I am most happy about. You must know that he is the "Han Long" who single-handedly changed the course of the entire northern Xinjiang in history.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Li Yu groaned slightly and called, "Your Majesty." ”

I was stunned for a moment, and slowly called him the word: "Hanlong, I once told you that it was the big man who was responsible for your family, not your family. Today, I want to say this to you in person. Don't be surprised, I have long wanted to say this to you, although Emperor Xiaowu and I are not from the same branch, but they are both after Emperor Jing, my ancestor King Jing of Zhongshan and Emperor Wu are compatriots, so I dare not comment on the rights and wrongs of my ancestors. I often think that if General Li meets Emperor Gao, I don't know what it will be like. Because Feng'er recruited relatives, it is also fate that you and I can meet alone. If it were him, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to talk to you so much, and now I want to ask you, would you like to be a Hun forever? Do you want to work with me to make up for the regrets of your ancestors? ”

Li Yu burst into tears: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing, the minister has long been willing." The Chen clan was regarded as the Huns in the Han Dynasty and the Han people in the Xiongnu, and the Han people scolded us as traitors and had no integrity, and the Huns thought that we had different intentions and were always on guard. If it weren't for the occupation of our clan in the Xiongnu, the elite soldiers would be extremely strong, and they would have been swallowed up long ago. Your Majesty, this is not a pleasant feeling in a foreign land! ”

He fell on the ground and cried like a child.

I helped him up, looked into his eyes, and said, "Li Hanlong, it's the first time we meet, I'm very happy to see you, and on behalf of Ji Han, welcome you home." ”

He was stunned for a moment, and knelt down again: "Minister Li Yu is willing to follow His Majesty and never leave until death!" ”

"Hanlon, get up. Since we are a family, let's say something from the bottom of our hearts. You have been in the Xiongnu for a long time, you say, are the Huns and our Han people of the same heart? ”

"Back to Your Majesty. If you had asked before, the minister would have said that the Huns were now attached to the Han Dynasty, and there was no other thought, so naturally they would not have two hearts. But now, the minister can only answer, the minister does not know. ”

"Don't know?" I feigned surprise, but was satisfied with his answer.

"Yes, I don't know. If the minister said that the Huns had different intentions, but now the Huns were attached to the Han Dynasty, sent troops to the north to the east, and made great contributions, the minister had this remark, not only sorry for the Huns, but also detrimental to Ji Han. But if the minister said that the Huns and Ji Han were of one mind, it was just a panic. There is a parable, the minister does not know whether to be or not, the Huns are like eagles, hunger is used, and fullness is raised. ”

I smiled and said, "This is what Cao Cao said about Lu Bu." ”

"Exactly, Lu Bu is also from Bingzhou, and his people are born with the wildness of the Huns, and seeing Lu Bu is like seeing the Huns. In recent years, the Three Kingdoms were in turmoil, and both the Xiongnu and Xianbei people developed rapidly. At present, Ji Han and Cao Wei are attacking, and they are fighting each other, so they have not formed much of a threat. But if one day, Xianbei or Xiongnu free their hands, and the Three Kingdoms are in chaos again, and the iron horse goes south, then the hometown of Shenzhou will no longer be owned by the Central Plains. ”

I smiled and said: "You have been away from the Central Plains for a long time, but I am afraid that you don't know the strength of the Central Plains anymore, and at the moment, whether it is Ji Han or Cao Wei, the strength of any country is not something that Xianbei and the Xiongnu can resist." ”

Li Yu said: "The minister really doesn't know the true strength of Ji Han and Cao Wei, after all, the minister has been away from the country for a long time, and there are many internal things that the minister doesn't understand, such as His Majesty's five thunder cannons today, the sound is like a thunderbolt, touching people's souls, and there are Zhuge crossbows, and the mines used by Prime Minister Zhuge during the Weinan War are all the same." The minister knows that since ancient times, the strange and ingenious skills of the Central Plains are far from being comparable to the Hu people in the north. And over the years, Liang Xi alone has made the Huns miserable, but Your Majesty should not forget that Liang Xi dealt with the army of the Huns, but it was a more elite Hun iron horse! The strength of the Hu people is that everyone can fight, everyone is good at riding, acting like the wind, fierce and ruthless, regardless of the gains and losses of a city or a place, and concentrating superior forces to attack a Han army. As for the Han people, they always look at the gains and losses of one city and one place, each guarding its own land and taking its own responsibility, so the land of the Han people is several times that of the Hu people, and the population is dozens of times that of them, but they can never conquer the Hu people. ”

I was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and said with a smile: "As you said, what should I do to deal with Hu Ren?" ”

Li Yu said: "There are only three ways to deal with the Hu people, and the easiest way is to kill all the Hu people." ”

As I heard this, I couldn't help but feel a sudden break in my heart, even in my wildest thoughts, such thoughts never appeared. Genocide, Li Yu, who is handsome and can be compared to Cao Zhao, who is as gentle as a virgin, would actually say such a thing in the most insipid tone.

"Of course, it's actually very difficult, because you can't cut the grass and leave no trouble, and in the end, often your soldiers will fall into madness with you. And the crazy people will eventually perish on their own, and Your Majesty should not use this method if you want to be the founding monarch of the country; The second is to use Hu to control Hu, and give Hu people to accompany their opponents, so that they can fight each other and fight each other. The grassland is so big, people can raise so much, the population is large, they can't raise it, they naturally want to go south to seize the anointed land, but if they themselves are consumed internally and saved in a certain amount, they themselves are almost killed, and naturally they have no strength to go south; ”

I nodded: "What about the third?" ”

"The third is time-consuming and laborious, that is, to spend a lot of effort to teach them with swords and concepts, and to transform them with concepts, so that they can identify with the Han ideologically and obey the Han from the point of life, so that the Hu land can become the Han land, and the Hu people can become the Han people. This is too long to do in a lifetime. I don't know which of the above three strategies Your Majesty is willing to use? ”

Without thinking, I said, "All three strategies work." Those who can be subdued, those who can be indoctrinated, those who can be co-opted, those who can be used, and those who can be checked and balanced, all methods cannot solve it, kill. ”

Li Yu arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty has a high opinion." ”

I laughed and said, "Is the exam over me?" ”

Li Yu blushed: "How dare the minister?" ”

I said, "It's nothing, in fact, what you said has a lot of inspiration for me. Since you have a deep understanding of me, I also have a secret message for you. I only received this news. Liang Xi sent troops. ”

Li Yu was stunned for a moment, immediately stood up, and then sat down again: "Your Majesty, when did it happen?" ”

"The soldiers from Liang Xi the day before yesterday have now begun to cross the Great Wall to attack Wucheng and Luoxian, and advance to Meiji."

"It's a big fight." Li Yu muttered, "Kebineng, Budugen, Liang Xi and the Xiongnu are all preparing for war, and now that Ji Han has withdrawn Captain Jiang, the balance in the north has been broken." However, what does Your Majesty want your ministers to do? ”

"What do you think?"

Li Yu thought for a while: "Duke Cao divided the Xiongnu into five departments, each of which was directly managed by the commanders, all of whom served as the princes of the royal families of the various tribes. At present, my people and horses are all in Shangjun in the west of the Yellow River. Therefore, if Liang Xi wants to attack Liu Bao, he won't hurt me, so I'll inform him in two days. He was injured, so he would naturally rely more on us Ji Han. ”

I laughed secretly in my heart, Li Pleiades didn't seem to be planning for Liu Bao at all, so it was good, it was good for Li Leopard, it was good for Ji Han, although it seemed that I was sorry for Liu Leopard, but Li Pleiades was Liu Leopard's cousin (because of the marriage between the two generations, Li Pleiadin's mother was Liu Leopard's aunt), he didn't care, what did I care?

On November 25, Liu Bao received news of Liang Xi's attack, and he immediately returned to his territory with Li Yue. I said to him: "At the moment, Liang Xi is strong, and I am reorganizing the army, but for the sake of the friendship between the two families, I will send a big man to help you." However, in the early days, it will not be possible for our forces to take care of the entire battlefield. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, I think it is best for you to retreat your tribe to the west bank of the Yellow River, and hand over the battlefield east of the Yellow River to Liang Xi and Kebineng, and at that time, I can let He Jiuqu block the Yellow River and block Liang Xi's way west. ”

Liu Bao had a bitter face: "Where can my tribe be accommodated on the west bank of the Yellow River?" ”

I smiled and pointed north.

As long as he retreats to Hexi, it will be necessary to attack Budugen to the north and occupy the Wuyuan and Shuofang regions in order to ensure his survival. In this way, with the Yellow River as the boundary, in the west of the Yellow River, it will be us and the Huns to attack Budugen, and in the east of the Yellow River, it will be Liang Xi and Kebi who can fight. Of course, I will send troops with the Huns, pick up the cheap, take advantage, some of my subordinates are very good, such as Wei Yan. And Wei Yan's reputation is too great, he is in Hexi, Hedong must be worried, his departure will make Liang Xi feel at ease to go north, and he can't help but go north.

The Yellow River exits Liangzhou, turns north from Beidi County in Yongzhou, goes east after entering Shuofang County, passes through Wuyuan County and Yunzhong County to the south, passes through Dingxiang County and Xihe County, passes between Hedong County and Fengyi County from Sizhou, and goes east in Tongguan. The north is cold and bitter, this Yellow River nurtures countless people, in this zigzag turn, pearls sprinkle one city after another - Linrong, Woye, Guangmu, Shuofang, Xi'anyang, Chengyi, Jiuyuan, Linwo...... All these counties were originally the territory of the Han Dynasty. But since the weakening of the Han Dynasty, they have been lost one by one, the four northern counties, Shuofang County, Wuyuan County, Yunzhong County, Dingxiang County were all led by Xianbei, Yanmen County, Taiyuan County was also harassed by Xianbei from time to time, and the people could not bear their suffering, or fled to death, or changed their surnames. Yanmen and Taiyuan were originally Budugen's sphere of influence, but in recent years, Kebineng has become stronger and stronger, and Budugen has been pushed back to the original sphere of influence of the four counties. After Liang Xi was reinstated and the state assassin history, he reorganized his army and horses, and attacked frequently, not only Taiyuan County became impregnable, but also recovered most of Yanmen County, and the Xianbei horse could no longer step on the Juzhu Mountain. Even from this point of view, I admire Liang Xi.

To the west of Taiyuan County and Yanmen County is Xihe County across the Yellow River. Most of the five Xiongnu tribes are here. And the battle between Cao Wei, the two Xianbei and the Xiongnu was also in full swing here. With the initiative of the Xiongnu to retreat, this battlefield gradually became a situation in which Liang Xi could fight alone. And the Xiongnu can avoid Liang Xi, but they can't avoid Budugen, Budugen got Liang Xi's instructions, as long as the land of the Xiongnu is captured, the land of the Xiongnu is his, so Budugen desperately attacked the south and fought with the Xiongnu. The two battlefields gradually became a stalemate, and the sudden cold also made the scale of the battle gradually smaller. The real big war will probably be in a few months when the spring is warm.

To the west of Xihe County is the Upper County of Jihan. Shangjun is bordered by Xihe County in the east and Shuofang County in the north. After Jiang Wei's operation, he had exhausted the Xianbei forces, and quietly tied the Hu people to Ji Han's chariot. On the surface, the strength has not been out of the city, but in fact, its influence has reached far away in the desert. On December 15, Wei Yan led an army of 5,000 to the north, and in addition to his generals, he also took Zhang Bao with Guan Feng and Xu Ling'er. In another time and space, he said that he could take 10,000 people to attack and capture Chang'an. Now I just need him to cross the desert and capture Shuofang City. Shuofang is only a small city in terms of size and defense. They went out of the Great Wall and spent the New Year in the subject country of Qiuzi. The people of Qiuci are also the people of Qiuci in the Western Regions, Li Guangli conquered the Western Regions when Emperor Wu, and the Qiuci country surrendered, and a part of it moved here, and Emperor Wu has been established as a subject country, and it has been nearly 300 years so far. After the Chinese New Year, they will brave the extreme cold, pass through the desert for hundreds of miles, and suddenly appear under Shuofang City. Shuofang was originally a Han land, and there are still many Han remnants. This place is far away from the desert, far from the battlefield, which Budugen could not have imagined. But as long as it is captured, it will directly threaten the flank of the stephen. At that time, Li Yu would attack from the middle, taking Heyin and Linwo to attack Wuyuan County. The army has been out, and the empty pace in the rear will definitely not be able to deal with three battlefields at the same time, and at that time his forces will be pushed to the east by the Xiongnu and Ji Han, and in the east, if he does not want to attack Liang Xi, he can only survive by seizing the pastures of Kebineng.

This method of fighting was actually proposed by Jiang Wei, and he also planned to do it, but I didn't agree, but sent Wei Yan, who had a greater prestige but had suffered a heavy defeat in Weinan. This battle, in fact, is just an opportunity, although there are not many people, but Wei Yan's weight is enough, and his banner is fluttering, representing Ji Han's greater determination. With his departure, the threat to Hedong County was smaller, and Cao Wei would have thought that Ji Han had focused his main efforts on the north. In this way, our sneak attack on Hedong County will be more sudden. Jiang Wei needs stronger experience and greater offensive work, so that after the death of several generals of Ji Han, he can suppress Wei Yan, a veteran who stands alone, and at least be able to fight with them, so as to effectively ensure Ji Han's stability.

This winter, Ji Han's Northern Army was training at full strength, and the cadets were placed as middle and lower-level generals in the army, and they were desperately rushing to kill under the leadership of Jiang Wei.

At the same time, the selection and training of civil officials was also underway, and for two consecutive years, Ji Han had selected a group of talents with management experience, who would be sent to manage them when he acquired the counties of Hedong and Shuofang next year.

It was also in this winter that I met Fu Lanshi.

In fact, Liao Li once recommended him to participate in the graduation meeting of the military academy, but this person did not fight. I didn't remember what was going on with this person. Later, I happened to remember this person's information. This boy of the same age as me is a descendant of the famous assassin Fu Jiezi who slashed the King of Loulan in the Western Han Dynasty, a native of Niyang, Beidi County, and was already well-known in the world when he was weak. Fu Yi is a capable talent, has military and political insights, and is good at discussing people and national plans. In the early years, the official removed Shang Shulang and moved to the Yellow Gate. At that time, Cao Shuang was in power, He Yan was the secretary of the ministry, and Fu Yan was dismissed for commenting on He Yan's "good profits and not business". Later, Sima Yi punished Cao Shuang, hired Fu Yi as Henan Yin, and moved to Shangshu. During the tenure of Fu Yan as Henan Yin, he collected the political actions of his predecessors, Poly the people, and the people benefited more. The court discussed the attack on Wu and had three strategies, and Fu Yan talked about the strategy and thought that the three plans would not work; When the court did not listen to his words, the army was defeated by Zhuge Ke. Fu Yan's status in Wei was rising, and he was knighted, and Xun Cang, Zhong Hui, etc. were friends, and discussed talent. In the spring of the second year of Zhengyuan, Biqiu Jian and Wen Qin made a rebellion, and Fu Yan and Wang Su persuaded Sima Shi to go to the crusade. Shi Fu Yan shot for Shang Shu's servants, often offered strategies, and finally broke the rebels. After Sima Shi's death, Sima Zhao returned to Luoyang as an auxiliary government, and Fu Yi entered Fengyang Township Marquis with merit, increasing the number of households by 600 and the first 1,200 households. He died at the age of forty-seven, and he was posthumously gifted too often, and he was called the Marquis of Yuan.

Such a talent who is better than Xun Cang and Zhong Hui, a master who is familiar with government affairs and military affairs and has not been poached by Cao Wei, I actually didn't pay attention to it by my side, and I was really busy. At that time, he went to the mansion to see him in the name of visiting Liao Li, but Liao Li said that he had gone out of the city and wanted to send someone to find him.

I didn't have anything to do that day, and I was also eager to seek talent, so I personally took Pufa and others in civilian clothes to look for it.

Out of the city to the south, more than ten miles, there is a small hill, but I saw two people fighting, rabbits and falcons, close and abnormal. Looking at that skill, the martial arts of the two of them are extremely high, and one of them, with a rhino head and jade cheeks, has a strange appearance, which is exactly what Liao Li said Fu Yi's appearance.

The other man had long arms and a sword that only beckoned to Fu Yan, and shouted, "Where did you get my son-in-law?" Hand it over! ”

Fu Yan couldn't resist it. I shouted, "P&F." ”

Pufa roared wildly and pounced. The long-armed man met him with his sword, and where could he get the divine power of the law, he was broken by a pestle, and he fell to the ground immediately. Pufa has been working with people recently, and he has become more and more unreasonable, he used to like to see moves and dismantle moves, but since he met that master when he captured Sima Zhao at this time, after Jane was assassinated, he was no longer obsessed with moves, but relied on huge strength and heavy pestle to solve it directly. He said that since he has this strength, he doesn't have to waste it all.

"Who is he?"

Pufa nodded and stepped forward, Fu Xuan stood up and sighed, "No need." Sima is dead, it is too difficult to capture him alive. ”

I was startled, and then I saw that the man was bleeding from the corner of his mouth. Liao Li once said that when Sima Zhao was captured, many people were like this, and today I saw it.

Fu Xuan put away the sword and returned it to the sheath and saluted me: "Fu Xuan has seen Your Majesty. ”

"You know me?" I admired his calm looks.

"I saw Your Majesty at the graduation ceremony of the military academy."

"Not bad. It's a pity that I didn't see you at that time, you have such a ability, why didn't you go on stage? ”

Fu Xuan said: "The villain is injured, but even if he is not injured, he is afraid that he can't defeat Li Yu." If the villain sees it well, he is the Northern Xinjiang Han Long. ”

I listened to the law popularization of Li Pleiadin's incarnation of Han Long, and Li Pleiades himself admitted it. But if you weren't a master, you wouldn't have judged it like this.

"How did you get hurt, and how did you get involved with Sima Dead again?"

Fu Xuan said with a smile: "It's always the villain who is young and vigorous, thinking that his ancestor took a sword out of the sheath to cut Loulan, and since then he has become famous all over the world. As a result, some time ago, I happened to meet Guo Xiu, a master of the Sima family, and fought against each other, so that both sides lost. Later, for some reason, they thought that I had something to do with the disappearance of his son-in-law, and they always came to me for trouble. ”

"Guo Xiu?" Pufa's eyes widened suddenly, "Yes, the person I fought with that day was indeed very similar to Guo Xiu, I used dozens of moves to defeat him, and then he committed suicide." Unexpectedly, I was able to meet two of the most famous assassins in the world. ”

I suddenly felt a chill in my heart. Guo Xiu, he is actually in Chang'an!

For Pufa and Fu Xuan, the name Guo Xiu represents just a master of swordsmanship, a leader of the Sima clan's dead soldiers. But for me, he represents a terrible death.

Throughout the Three Kingdoms, assassination was not uncommon, for example, Cao Cao and Lü Bu both made cameo assassinations to assassinate Dong Zhuo. And when his father was the prime minister of Pingyuan, Liu Ping, a county citizen, sent someone to assassinate his father, but he was convinced by his loyalty and righteousness, and finally abandoned the blade. However, in this era, I think there are only three times, one has already happened, Xu Gongmen assassinated Sun Ce, made the heroic world, and Cao Gong was afraid of the untimely death of the Jiangnan overlord, which can be said to have changed the history of Jiangnan. And the other two times were Li Pleiades, that is, Han Long's assassination of Ke Bineng, one person and one sword changed the situation of the entire desert, making Xianbei fall back into the long-term battle, which was also the most outstanding assassination in the Three Kingdoms. Another time it was this Guo Xiu who stabbed my general Fei Yi. Fei Yi is the third first assistant minister of Shu Han after Kong Ming and Jiang Wan, in fact, he is quite a prime minister, such a high-powered figure, he was assassinated and killed at a banquet, which is really staggering. Emperor Cao Fang of Wei said in the edict that Guo Xiu assumed the alias Guo Xun, pretending to be captured and surrendered, "The Tao passed through Hanshou, invited the guests, he struck Yi with a blade in the middle of the Guang sitting, bravely surpassed Nie Zheng, and surpassed Jie Zi, which can be described as killing himself, and releasing the righteous ......" And what is even more terrifying is that he actually wanted to stab me, but he didn't have a chance, so he changed his goal.

Perhaps, it is the real hole card of the Sima clan to lure the princes of the Western Regions to Chang'an, take advantage of the chaos to let Guo Xiu assassinate the prince of the Western Regions, or kill the minister of Ji Han until he assassinates me, so that Ji Han falls into chaos and war.

I really can't imagine that a person who can fight Pflaw for dozens of rounds after being injured suddenly appears in front of me when he is not injured, and I can resist. If we were to meet Guo Xiu when he was not injured in the restaurant, how many people would have been killed or injured, and would I have been able to get out of the way.

Before I knew it, I was sweating. I pulled up Fu Xuan: "Lan Shi, you are really my lucky general, before you entered the court, you have already made great contributions to me." ”

Fu Xuan frowned: "Your Majesty, it hurts, Guo Xiu left a sword on my chest, and I haven't been able to do it yet." ”

The time came to the fourth year of Ji Han Jianxing, the sixth year of Wei Huangchu, 225 AD, according to Cao Pi's death there was still a year and a half, in the history of this year Kong Ming's southern expedition, Cao Pi's last expedition to Eastern Wu. However, now Yizhou has long been stable, the rebellious states are on the right track, and Jiangzhou and Chengdu are thriving. And Cao Pi's southern expedition can only be done, not to mention that he has suffered defeats in the past two years, and his strength is not as good as him in history, just say that if we take Hedong, he will not be able to go south.

In the spring and February, Cao Pi issued an edict, with Chen Qun as the general of the town army, driving Dong to supervise the army with the car, and recording Shangshu (he never stayed in the capital all year round like me, he wandered around the world when he had nothing to do, or he would fight a war or something, he was the emperor, and there were almost no years without war); With Sima Yi as the general of the Fu army, the governor of Youzhou military. With Wang Xiong as the assassin of Youzhou, he also served as the captain of the Karasuma school. Zhao Yan was promoted to the Taishou of Hedong as the general of the Diannong Zhongxuan, and at the same time Tian Yu, the captain of Karasuma, was appointed as the Taishou of Hedong.

"Your Majesty, this is the latest news sent by the Zhiwen in Yecheng. I didn't expect Chen Qun to be captured by us, and he was reused by Cao Pi like this. "Liao Li was ordered to grasp the knowledge and news, and the efficiency was twice as high as when I was in charge, and it seems to have exceeded the period when the prime minister was in charge. On the one hand, it is his ability, and on the other hand, it is true that he has put a lot of energy into it. Compared to Kong Ming, his affairs are much simpler. As soon as he calmed down, his talent comparable to Kong Ming Pangtong was undoubtedly revealed, and he could easily find a thread in the vast sea of information, connecting all kinds of seemingly unrelated information into a string of bright and dazzling pearls. Now that history has changed, and I have completely lost the ability to accurately grasp historical events, he can often provide me with an important basis for decision-making. It's just that after Liao Li was hit, he went from one extreme to the other, it turned out that everything was his own right, even the emperor's words were not as correct as him, but now he is often cautious.

"It's not surprising that Chen Qun's loyalty to the Cao family is unparalleled, not to mention that his skills are strong, and no one else can replace him. It's not surprising that Sima Yi is the general of the Fu Army, but this Wang Xiong is also the captain of Karasuma, is it because Tian Yu is incompetent? ”

"Maybe not, right?" He said vaguely, but I knew that this was absolutely not, and sure enough, his tail was exposed behind him, "How can there be a more suitable captain in this world than Tian Yu, not to mention the side, he punished the Karasuma King Gujin, used the Xianbei Lord Su Li to kill the Youzhou giant Kou Gao Ai, and supported Su Li to fight against Kebineng, which one is not the essence of the classics, or the minister to be the captain of this Karasuma Guard, it is not necessarily better than him." It's just that Youzhou Assassin Shi Wang Xiong wants to serve as this official at the same time, so he let his henchmen slander Tian Yu to disturb the border and make trouble for the country. It was precisely because of this that Cao Pi transferred him away. ”

I only know that a few years later, Wang Xiong sent Han Long (Li Yue) to assassinate Kebineng, and I thought he was a loyal and righteous person, but I didn't expect him to be such a villain.

Liao Li said again: "Your Majesty, Tian Yu is a talent, much better than Lord Zhao who only knows how to make trouble for widows, and the matter of Hedong is only afraid of some trouble." ”

I was amused. Hedong Taishou Zhao Yan, his reputation is not very good, even his predecessor Du Ji thinks that there is no political achievements, only know that in order to pursue political achievements, he engaged in image projects, and recruited a large number of civil widows to participate in the construction, in order to please the emperor. But......

"Zhao Yanqi is a person, with a subtle appearance, a wise and foolish person, a treacherous and cold heart, and a good at coordinating relationships, which should not be underestimated. His departure is not a good thing. As for Tian Yu coming, I don't think there's anything wrong with it, Tian Yu's skills are strong and obvious to all, but anyone who has the ability must not be easy to be approached and understood, so he was mistaken by rumors, which is also the reason. When he first came to Hedong, it was impossible for him to easily clean up Zhao Yan's stall, so it was still feasible for us to attack Hedong. ”

Thinking of Du Ji, I can't help but ask about him, this Du Ji died last autumn, it is said that he was experimenting with a boat in the Tao River (near Mengjin), intending to use it to attack Soochow or compete with us for the Yellow River, but he encountered a strong wind and ended up with a shipwreck. At this time, he was a scholar, a first-class master, and he actually died because of this, which is an odd number. I was very moved by his death, and said in the court that if the ministers were like Du Ji, then the world would not be worried. However, I care about him not only because of his spirit, but more importantly, because I care about the data of the building ship he built. I don't know if Wang Jun has referred to the data left by Du Ji in building the building ship in history, and I don't know if Cao Wei will have another capable person to build the real building after Du Ji, after all, history is completely different from the one in my original dream.

So I asked Liao Li about it, and I asked him to steal the data, and what happened to him.

Liao Lidao, because this matter is Cao Wei's secret, Cao Pi directly issued an edict to conduct experiments, and it is difficult for anyone to break into it at present. There are a few people on the periphery.

After discussing this matter, I picked up a copy of the recital and happily flipped through it, it was played by Wei Yan. Wei Yan's army was as planned in advance, in the four-way war, bluffed in Xihe County, creating the illusion of preparing to support the Xiongnu in Xihe, but the main force crossed hundreds of miles of desert and captured Shuofang City in one fell swoop, and then he left Guan Feng and Xu Ling'er to defend the city, and he went east to Wuyuan County without stopping, and joined Li Yu, and went down to Wuyuan in one fell swoop. Budugen had no choice but to restrain the remnants of the army and flee eastward into the clouds.

Guan Feng and Xu Ling'er took the initiative to ask to go to northern Xinjiang. And Li Yu, this guy likes Guan Feng, and actually guarantees that with him, Guan Feng and Xu Linger are foolproof in northern Xinjiang. And it was during this period of time that Guan Feng and Xu Linger did not honestly defend the city. Xu Ling'er believes that at present, the Ji Han army has the advantage and is caught off guard by the enemy, so it must not stop and continue to charge with all the momentum, otherwise it will be troublesome when the enemy eases up. Guan Feng is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she has long wanted to have red eyes if she wants to take credit, and when Xu Ling'er said something, she would have jumped up and agreed. When Xu Ling'er and Jiang Wei went to Xiqiang, they were already extremely familiar with military and political affairs. She and Guan Feng organized the remnants of the Han people in the city, elected local prestige people to temporarily defend the city, and temporarily raised a large army to attack. It should be said that Xu Ling'er's sense of smell is very rare even among male generals. Xianbei was defeated at the beginning, the army was outside, the Jihan army flags were everywhere, and the soldiers of Guangmu, Woye, and Linrong surrendered one after another. In the middle of October, the entire territory of Shuofang was recovered. Xu Ling'er believes that the Xianbei people have never had a hobby of defending the city, and recovering the city does not mean anything, those Xianbei nobles have fled into the desert with treasures and men, and as soon as the Han army leaves, they will return immediately. The Han Chinese will never have their maneuvers, and it will be difficult to defeat them completely. So while she asked Guan Feng to organize people to find an opportunity to fight a decisive battle with these fleeing nobles, she divided all the land, cattle and sheep, camp tents, and pastures left by the nobles in the city, whether it was the remnants of the Han people, or the Xianbei slaves, or other tribes, everyone who saw it had a share. In this way, these people have benefited, and they will naturally hope that those nobles will never return. At this time, perhaps Budugen was sad that he and his men were so greedy that they were not as fair as Kebineng. Otherwise, Xu Ling'er's disposal method would definitely not be so easy to have an effect.

In mid-March, Budugen's younger brother, Xiaoshuai Zhimujian, learned that there were only two women in Fertile City, and that Ji Han's elite soldiers had already traveled eastward, and under great joy, he suddenly rushed out of the desert and surrounded Fertile Field. They shouted: "Princess Ji Han is here, everyone is robbing!" ”

Guan Feng angrily led more than 100 horsemen out of the city, and named him to step forward, hand over the horse Sanhe, cut off the head of Mu Jian, and kill the rest of the people. Liu Jin'er and Liu Mu'er, the two military academy generals who were with him, both made a lot of gains. jokes, although Guan Feng is a little rude, and sometimes a little indiscriminate, but where are ordinary people her opponents, and she is Princess Ji Han, how can there be no one around to protect her. In addition to Liu Jin'er and Liu Mu'er, who I specially allocated to her, there are also masters sent by the government, not to mention some followers who voluntarily follow her, and the slogan of these people is, Princess Xie Wei can dislike me, don't look at me, and even hate me, but I will be satisfied as long as I am by her side. It is precisely because of such a large number of personal guards by his side, although most of the soldiers led by Guan Feng are newly recruited in the local area, they can also easily break through the enemy formation and capture the flag.

After this battle, the name of the desert shuangshu resounded all over the prairie.

Imagining the demeanor of these two people, I can't help but smile. Originally, I just wanted them to live the addiction of joining the army and experience the life of the army, and leaving them in Shuofang City was also the meaning of protecting them. How do you know that just such a little bit of power will be used by them. It seems that my previous thoughts were wrong, such girls can be easily manipulated by others, and their fate can only be controlled by themselves.

Give them a free sky, and I, watching them fly is also a pleasure, why put the phoenix in your own cage.

Budugen's eastward retreat caused great trouble to Kebineng, who had a grudge against Budugen for killing his brother, and the two had been attacking each other for a long time. However, in the face of Liang Xi's strong attack, it was difficult for Kebineng to withstand the attack of Budugen on the flank. Kebi can be worthy of the masterpiece, he actually sent the woman to the door and kissed at the moment, and said to Budugen, the two families are Xianbei people, this is a family, and now Budugen has lost the land of Shuofang and Yunzhong counties, and he is willing to help Budugen recapture Yanmen and Taiyuan counties as compensation. Budugen was attracted by this, and he was naturally excited.

And Liang Xi had long been aware of Bu Du Gen's actions, and he also made a condition, as long as Bu Du Gen did his best to help him defeat Ke Bineng, he could take all the tribes and lands occupied by Ke Du Neng and hand them over to Bu Du Gen. And you can play Cao Pi, seal Budu root as the king of Guiyi, and forever be the lord of the royal court of Hanshan.

For a while, the defeated Budugen turned out to be a piece of fragrant bait, and there was a dilemma between the left and right.

At the end of March, Wei Yan and Li Yu chased to Weiyang together, and entered the clouds, Wei Yan shouted in front of the battle: "Budugen, you have no talent and no virtue, you are good at the descendants of Shihuai, and you are empty in the position of the tribe lord, and you will give up the tribe to Lord Kebineng as soon as possible, only Kebi Neng is the master of Xianbei Destiny!" ”

Bu Dugen got the news, and without hesitation, he killed Kebineng's envoy that night, and joined Liang Xi to attack Kebineng in the east.

Kebi was able to get the news that Wei Yan, Liu Bao, and Li Yu were going to join forces with him to deal with Bu Dugen and Liang Xi at the same time.

Last winter, the grassland was hit by heavy snowfall, and there was no way to survive unless it went south. And Youzhou thought that Tian Yu would stay for a long time, and it would be his world in the future, where Sima Yi sent by Cao Wei was ten times more powerful than Tian Yu, and before he could fight, he was defeated in a row, and he looked like he couldn't stand on his feet. So this time he went south and merged with the state, Kebineng made up his mind, although he touched the nail, he didn't want to go back like this. When he got the news of Wei Yan, his first thought was not to attack Liang Xi together, but to attack Budugen.

Budugen even suffered defeat, and his strength was greatly damaged, as long as he annexed him, he would integrate the Xianbei Chinese and Western departments, and it was not impossible to build the great cause of being good at Shihuai. And whether it is Ji Han or Liang Xi, it is impossible to stay on the grassland for a long time. They will eventually retreat to the Great Wall, and by that time, the strength he has lost will be regained little by little.

Moreover, he thought, there will be a big battle between Ji Han and Cao Wei in the end, and at that time, who is the sandpiper and who is the fisherman, it is not certain.

When sending people to contact Budugen, Kebineng was ready to use two hands, one of which was to attack Budugen. When Wei Yan's news arrived, he immediately led the army in person and raided the Budugen camp. The two overlords on the desert met unexpectedly on the way, and they started a fight in the east of Chengle. Kebineng's son-in-law, the desert brave general Yu Zhu Zhu is encountering the western Xianbei general to return to the mud, from midnight to dusk, Yu Zhu Zhu finally broke through the army formation of the mud and killed the mud. Defeated Xianbei in the west, the main camp of Budugen was impacted, and retreated to Yuanyang.

Kebi can not stop for a while, bite Budugen, and the two sides set up a battlefield on the bank of the Heishui River.

Neither Wei Yan nor Liang Xi expected such a change, but neither of them wanted to give up such an opportunity, so they immediately sent troops to participate in the war.

Liang Xi urgently went out of the Great Wall to rescue Budugen, but was blocked by Kebineng's ambush in the Shanwu area. It was not easy to defeat the blocking team, but they were frightened by a fake book - the fine work of the state where he knew the news was located assassinated the messenger and sent a false information: Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, the generals of Ji Han, led tens of thousands of elite soldiers to attack Hedong County and threaten the annexation of the state.

When Liang Xi heard the report, he was shocked, and hurriedly garrisoned the army to explore the truth and reality. By the time he found out that the military information was fake, it was early April.

During this time, Wei Yan and Li Yu rushed to Yuanyang, and together with Ke Bineng, they frantically tore at the already crippled body of Western Xianbei like a few vicious wolves.

Wei Yan was originally a famous general, and his skills are rare in the whole world, and joining forces with Li Yu is even more powerful. Although there are not many people, Li Yan has 10,000 and Wei Yan has only 5,000, but they are all elites, and they are behind the scenes, so they have won consecutive battles. And the combat effectiveness of Kebineng's troops is also extremely amazing, Xianbei Iron Cavalry, under the leadership of Kebineng, is simply invincible. The step root can't either, so, the step root fails.

After more than ten days of fighting, the people at the root of Budu were torn apart, and he himself waited for reinforcements to arrive, and personally led the remnants to the south, rushed through a bloody road, and threw himself into the camp of Liang Xi. Most of the Xianbei in the west was blocked in Yuanyang and surrendered to Kebineng. Putou, the handsome man of Hexi Xianbei who confronted Wei Yan near Weiyang, immediately expressed his original intention to return to Ji Han.

In this battle, the total number of troops dispatched by the Xianbei two divisions reached 180,000, and Budugen was defeated and became the commander of the light pole. Since then, the western Xianbei has been completely divided by Ji Han, Cao Wei, Kebineng and the Xiongnu.

Liang Xi was not bad, although he did not gain a lot on the battlefield, but he also recovered a lot of territory, recaptured half of Xihe County, part of Dingxiang County, drove the Huns to the west of the Yellow River, and drove the Xianbei people outside the ancient Great Wall. Although Budugen has fewer soldiers and horses, he still has prestige, as long as he is still here, there will always be some people in Western Xianbei who think of him and look towards him. So Liang Xi still treated him like a guest, and promised that as long as he was willing to surrender, he would help him avenge and recover the lost territory. Budugen didn't say a word, nodded in agreement.

Ji Han obtained Shuofang County, divided Wuyuan County with the Xiongnu, and actually controlled part of Yunzhong and Dingxiang. At the same time, among the Huns, Liu Bao mainly defended Liang Xi and did not gain any benefits, while Li Pleiades gained a lot and greatly increased his strength, and his strategy of containing the Xiongnu with Li Pleiades was strengthened.

Of course, the biggest gain in this battle was Kebineng, he suffered the most, but also gained the most, since then, the eastern and central Xianbei have become one, and he has become the only overlord in the desert. To be honest, I didn't expect Kebi to have the determination to fight a decisive battle with Budugen, nor did I expect that he already had the strength to swallow Dubugen alone. In this war, Kebi was able to dispatch six times as many people and horses as Ji Han and the Xiongnu combined, and it had become a dominant family in the desert, if there was no Liang Xi, it was not impossible for him to suddenly turn his face and swallow Wei Yan and Li Yu. In this way, my original plan to concede Dugen and Kebi can consume each other, so that Ji Han and Cao Wei can slowly devour Xianbei, and at the same time achieve the elimination of Xianbei and the transfer of Liang Xi far to the north The plan was completely frustrated.

This is my mistake, I didn't expect this battle to be so tragic, there would be such a scale, I knew that this was the case, I would not have sent only 5,000 men and horses, so that the Huns would grow in vain. However, fortunately, most of them were cheaper than Li Pleiades, and because of Li Pleiades and Guan Feng, Guan Feng pacified Shuofang County, and there were no Huns to get involved.

Although the war stopped, the large area of land left by Xianbei in the west was all red-eyed, and the two counties of Yunzhong and Dingxiang were now a fuse, and the four sides wanted to occupy it, but they were tired of fighting and did not want to fight again. At present, no one is willing to let go, but no one wants to risk being attacked by several sides at the same time. There was a stalemate for a while.

As a result, Liang Xi received a second letter from Ji Han attacking Hedong, which was actually an edict pretending to be from the capital, ordering Liang Xi to return to the army immediately. Liang Xi was deceived for the first time, so he naturally investigated carefully, and finally found an inconspicuous loophole and determined that it was Ji Han's trap again. The old man threw the letter on the ground and said to his staff: "Ji Han is so cunning, it is really hateful, in the future, if you have such things, you must argue carefully, don't be deceived!" ”

Liang Xi was furious, his men were tired, Liao Li's strategy to confuse the enemy was successful, and when the real battle of Hedong began, they would definitely think it was another hoax at first.

After this war, I named Wei Yan as the general of Duliao, Li Yu as the general of the Huns, and Putou, the commander of the Xianbei of Hexi who surrendered, as the Xianbei Lord of the West, and gave him the county of Yunzhong. In this way, he can't think of anything.

Although the military situation in the war in northern Xinjiang was unpredictable, on the whole the results were satisfactory, and the initial strategic objectives had been achieved, except for the creation of a powerful Kebineng, which was a faint threat.

And for Hedong, we have finally started.

In February, the Marquis of Cao Wei Changling, the general of the expedition to the south, Xiahou Shang, died because of a basin of sour vinegar. Xiahou still has a concubine, which is very pampered, but unfortunately he also married Cao Pi's sister. Cao Pi killed his younger brothers, but he was very attentive to his sister, and without saying a word, he sent someone to Jingzhou and strangled his concubine with a rope. Xiahou Shang is an amorous seed, his concubine died, he was grief-stricken, he was in a trance, he ignored the military and political affairs, he fell on the bed, lingered for more than a month, and died of illness, and he was only forty years old. Xiahou Shang was a talented man with both civil and military skills, and when he was presiding over the affairs of Jingzhou, Dongwu and we were tied down by him. As soon as he fell ill, I immediately found Dongwu and contacted them to take Jingzhou together. Of course, my uncle agreed, and immediately sent troops, I asked Zhuge Qiao to send troops to assist, but I didn't want to help, and I knew that Cao Wei's troops were all the most elite troops along the Yangtze River, and my uncle's troops would definitely not be good this time. However, this dispatch of troops could greatly attract Cao Wei's attention and make them focus on the south.

Tian Yu was also in full swing to govern Hedong, and when he returned from the northern battlefield, he decided that the front line should have the appearance of the front line. He first inspected the defense along the river, and disposed of five or six military marquis who were drinking in the camp, including Guo Huai's men and horses; Then he summoned the big families and powerful people everywhere to admonish, asking them to take Cao Wei's affairs as the most important thing, and not to cooperate with the enemy for the sake of wealth, and beat a few salt merchants who smuggled and sold illegal salt to a board and purge them, and the weather in Hedong was completely new. When the news came, we all laughed. Hedong is not outside the Saiwai, the clan forces here are intertwined, each army has its own system, and only one Hedong is too guarded, although it can nominally be in charge of the defense of Hedong and along the river, but in fact, where is the real power? That is, an old fritter like Zhao Yan can be at ease, and if he messes around like this, it won't take long to offend everyone. Sure enough, the people of Wei Valve got in touch with us more closely, and Xu Valve and others also began to contact us.

At the beginning of April, all the preparations were completed, and I thought the time had come to start sending troops. I wrote a letter to Hedong Taishou Tian Yu and asked Jiang Wei to arrange for someone to send it in his private name.

In the letter, I mentioned to him his relationship with his father back then, praised him for what he did to defend the people during his tenure as captain of Karasuma, and reported his grievances for being framed by villains, and asked him if he would be willing to submit to me and make meritorious contributions to the Zhongxing Han. If I'm willing, I'm willing to let him serve as the assassin of the state. If he refuses, hand over Hedong to me, and I will not do him any harm.

I didn't expect that Jiang Wei was so bold that he actually went to deliver this letter in person.

Tian Yu pointed at Jiang Wei and said: "The two countries are in a confrontation, don't kill the envoy, you go back and tell your emperor, just say that Tian Yu was deeply trusted by the emperor's uncle back then, but unfortunately the fate is shallow, he still remembers me now, that is his love and righteousness, I express my gratitude." But as a courtier, I am appointed by Hedong, and I must keep the people of Hedong safe, and if I fail to do this, I will be sorry for the official hat on my head. Your emperor wants to take Hedong and let him bring his troops here. ”

Jiang Wei nodded and said, "I'll come again." ”

Tian Yu looked at Jiang Wei, his suspicion flashed, and then the murderous intent on his face suddenly appeared, but he finally smiled indifferently: "Can you tell me your real name?" ”

Jiang Wei was shocked, only to say that he was identified by Tian Yu, and said a fake name at the moment.

Tian Yu laughed and waved his hand: "You bring the troops here." ”

At that moment, Jiang Wei seemed to be greatly insulted, and he couldn't help but blurt out his real name, but finally didn't say it.

Afterwards, he told me that it was a danger that he had never had in his life, and he didn't expect Tian Yu to be able to see through him, and what made him even more unbearable was that he didn't dare to say his name in front of his opponent like a hero, but fled like a thief.

My answer was, "It's because you didn't look like a hero at that moment that you could be a hero." ”

On April 7, the fourth uncle Zhao Yun arrived in Huayin, and Pang De led a large army to storm Tongguan, attracting Guo Huai's attention. At the same time, Zhang Bao and He Jiuqu stormed Pubanjin, Guan Xing and Pang Hui stormed Fenglingdu, and fought fiercely with Tian Yu at two ferries. Jiang Wei led the army to the north, quietly crossed the river in Xiayang, captured the city of Pi, and quickly went south to take Anyi.
