Chapter 62 Liu Ye goes home

The vehicle went all the way to the west, crossed the Tianjing Pass, entered the east of the river, crossed the Yellow River, and crossed Weinan. Chang'an City is already close at hand.

The convoy carried the banner of Chinese characters and traveled unhindered along the way. The soldiers next to the convoy were also polite and polite to the passengers in the car, but they could not hide the depression in the car. The passengers on the car, young and old, rarely get out of the car, rarely speak, and occasionally look at each other, but they are only full of helplessness.

Because, their identity is prisoners of war, prisoners of war captured by Ji Han after he conquered Yecheng.

Of these vehicles, the current one had a yellow belt wrapped around it, proving that it was a royal vehicle. In the car was an old man with a gray beard.

The wind and snow are fluttering, the four fields are vast, and they are gradually falling into chaos. Xiyue dry clouds, the Yellow River does not flow, thousands of miles in the pass, a majestic color. The old man looked through the gap in the car curtain, and the foolish four fields seemed to be in a trance. After a long time, he seemed to be unable to stand the cold and coughed continuously.

The clerk hurriedly closed the curtain of the car and said angrily: "Grandpa, your health is not good, the wind is so strong, why do you still blow the wind." ”

The old man shook his head and sighed: "Providence, providence, there will be a revival of the Han family, but my old and decrepit body is useless." ”

The scholar said sadly: "Grandpa, don't say that, you are also the Zhengshuo of the Han family no matter what, even if you have made great efforts for Cao Wei, but ...... That Emperor Han heard that he was also a broad-minded person, so he shouldn't hurt his grandfather. Speaking of which, he seemed to have lost his own confidence, and along the way, all kinds of speculations about his fate after being captured came to his mind.

The old man shook his head and sighed lightly: "It's a pity, the time of my life." It's all spent on helping Prime Minister Cao Cheng dominate the world, who knows, his children and grandchildren have turned their backs on the Han to seize the throne......"

"Grandpa, why do you still call him Prime Minister, this is Ji Han, you should call him an old thief."

"Get used to it. I've been fighting with him for decades, and I'm used to it. Cough...... Ahem, ahem, ahem......" The old man coughed violently again.

The scholar looked at the old man with a worried look in his eyes.

The convoy came to an abrupt halt. In a moment, flags were unfurled in front of me, drums and horns were heard, and it seemed that some great figure had come. The scholar poked his head and said, "Maybe there is some big official from Chang'an City, no wonder let's stop and hide." No, isn't it, grandpa. Did they come to trouble you, they didn't let us avoid it, they came to us! ”

As he spoke, two lines of guards lined up on both sides like two red lines, and a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy came under the escort of several people. The boy wore a crown on his head. Dressed in a yellow robe, his eyebrows are more and more picturesque. Someone has already shouted: "His Royal Highness King Liang has arrived!" ”

The scholar was even more shocked, he didn't expect to be a prince!

Everyone in the car got out of the car and stood on the side of the road. The old man also got out of the car with the help of the scholar.

The young man walked up to the old man. He bowed and saluted: "Liu Li sees Uncle Huang." ”

This young man turned out to be the younger brother of Emperor Liu Chan of Ji Han, Liu Li, King of Liang. The old man didn't expect Liu Li to come to see him in person, and he was stunned for a moment, then calmed down, and Shi Shiran returned the courtesy: "The old and decrepit captives, the dead and the remnants, dare to accept the prince's gift." ”

Liu Li said with a smile: "The emperor's uncle is the descendant of the King of Fuling after the Emperor Guangwu. The royal bloodline is not allowed to be abandoned. Today, Xiao Wang was ordered by the imperial brother to welcome him on behalf of the imperial brother, doesn't the imperial uncle still believe in my brother's sincerity? My imperial brother knew that the imperial uncle had the talent of Wang Zuo, so those who did not build Wang Zuo's business were only suspicious of Cao Pi and Cao Rui because of the identity of the imperial uncle. Today's return to Han, just when the ambition is being realized, why bother saying anything discouraged. ”

Liu Li is young. But the voice is clear. The rhetoric is agitated, both calm and generous. and true feelings. The old man was moved again, and a little ashamed, and said after a while: "Liu Ye, how can he be praised, His Majesty and the prince Chrysostom." ”

Liu Li smiled: "Come on, help Uncle Huang get in the car." Uncle Huang, let's go home! ”

Liu Ye was helped into the car, still in a dream, and only muttered: "Go home, go home." ”

The little scholar said strangely: "Grandpa, we haven't been punished, and we still have to be reused, why are you crying?" ”

On the third day of November, Cao Wei's Taizhong doctor Liu Ye returned to Han. Liu Ye, whose name is Ziyang, is a native of Chengde in Huainan, and is a descendant of Liu Yan, the son of Emperor Liu Xiu, the son of Emperor Guangwu. When he was a teenager, he was recommended by Guo Jia Guo Feng, the first strategist of Cao Wei, to serve Cao Cao, to be the master of Cao Peng, and to move to the army commander and leader. Emperor Wen received Zen, entered the service, and gave the title of Marquis of Guannei. Emperor Ming ascended the throne, entered the Marquis of Dongting, and later became a doctor in Taizhong. During his battle against Yuan Shao, he built a stone cart and repelled the enemy's attack from the barracks. In the attack on the Han Dynasty, he took things like a god, repeatedly offered strange strategies, used them to be auspicious, and violated them to be fierce, but in the end he was jealous of the Cao family because he was a relative of the Han family, so that his strategy of destroying Wu in Shu at a critical moment was not adopted by Cao Cao and Cao Pi father and son. Liu Yezhi's talent was not fully utilized.

On the 8th day of the first month of November, I personally met Liu Ye in Jianzhang Palace, talked with him for a long time, and was deeply impressed by his talent and strategy, and appointed him as one of the nine kings, Zongzheng, who was in charge of clan affairs under a false name, gave the palace, servants, and fiefs, and sent the imperial doctor to see a doctor. Serve as an important advisor for consultation. Ten days later, Liu Ye wrote a letter to discuss Cao Wei's affairs in Eastern Wu. I was overjoyed when I saw it, and sent someone to Luoyang overnight to deliver the book to Kong Ming for his reference and decide how to implement it.

Jizhou, Yecheng.

"What? Cao Taidian is full of attacks on Zhang Wu? Zhang Fei angrily threw a cup on the ground: "These two guys didn't go south, but went north, where do they want to go?" Is it possible that you still want to go to Youzhou? ”

At this time, Wei Qi was in Ji Han to seal the Marquis of Ping, and the official worshiped Situ, and he was already ranked as the third duke. Because of his understanding of Jizhou, he was in charge of the military administration of Jizhou at this time together with Zhang Fei, the general of the chariot and cavalry. He stared at the map for a moment, then shook his head, "It's unlikely. Although Cao Taidianman was known for his toughness, his army was exhausted after several months of continuous campaigning. At this time, the weather was cold, Cao Jun's clothes were not neat, and his combat strength declined. I think the intention of this attack on Zhangwu is to seize supplies. The second is to confuse our army, making us think that he is going north and further vacate the southern forces. ”

Zhang Fei grabbed his iron beard with his big hand and said in a rough voice: "What does Lord Situ mean is that their goal has not changed, or is it the south?" ”

"Not bad. Again, their target is the South. ”

Zhang Fei stared and thought for a while, and said, "These two dolls are also very smart, not a brave husband like Lao Zhang." All right. If this is the case, I will be fooled by him once, and the order will be that Ma Dai and Pang will enter and occupy Shenhu Pavilion, Li Sheng and Guan Feng will enter and occupy Dongpingshu, and Zhang Bao and Guan Xing will use the banner of Guan Ping and Kou fiefdom to break through Fuyang, and put on the appearance of encircling and annihilating the Wei army in Zhangwu. The Southern Guanping Kou Sealing Department was further expanded. Get out of the way, let He Jiuqu go west, and let go of the road to Qingzhou. ”

"Report, front-line urgency, Cao Wei Changshui Captain Ren Jun. The infantry captain responded and led the army to attack the city of Plains. ”

Zhang Fei and Wei Qi glanced at each other. Wei Qi smiled and said: "Here, their attack this time is to attract me to defend the Yellow River line of He Jiuqu's department to the west." Get out of the way. He Jiuqu's westward journey doesn't need to make excuses. However, at present, the Yellow River is about to be frozen, and in a few days, the natural danger will become a smooth road, and Cao Wei will ride directly through it, without the need for a boat, and the possibility of going south will be even greater. When the time comes, we have to think about how to attack them. ”

Zhang Fei looked at Wei Qi: "Old Wei." If you have any ideas, please say them. ”

Wei Qi said: "I have an idea, but it's just too ruthless. Although the Yellow River is long, there are not many places suitable for crossing, and as long as they accurately find the place where Cao Wei crossed the river, and then attack, they will definitely be wiped out. ”

"All the troops? The combat power of the tiger and leopard cavalry and the backbone camp is also unparalleled in the world, although it is downcast today. But they still have the strength to fight. The Yellow River is frozen, making it a smooth road. In this case, if you want to annihilate them in one fell swoop, I'm afraid you don't have that much power. ”

Wei Qi shook his head, with an eerie expression on his face: "No, yes, general, we can ......"

Zhang Fei was stunned for a long time, and then said: "Old Wei, I didn't expect you to be not famous in Cao Wei, but this trick is playful, tsk, it's really fucking yin." ”

Wei Qi sighed: "I don't want to use this trick either, I don't know if it will break my life calculation, the 20,000 elite Wei army will be buried because of my plan." ”

The cold wind of Xiao Se was fatal to Cao's army, and in some respects, even surpassed the attack of Ji Han's army on them. At present, although Dongwu and Cao Wei have united to attack Ji Han, and have made some achievements in the Sizhou battlefield and the Yizhou battlefield, but in Jizhou, which was originally the heart of the Great Wei, it is the Han army that has an absolute advantage in the war. Since the defeat of the great general Cao Zhen, the elite of the 200,000 Wei army has been wiped out, which is unimaginable for the Great Wei State to deal a blow to the Great Wei State, and it is also unimaginable to hit the Wei army that has nowhere to escape from Jizhou. In the past few months, Cao Tai, with his outstanding leadership skills, led the remnants of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, which was originally a tiger and leopard cavalry goblin soldier, to rush left and right on the Jizhou Plain, and successfully joined the backbone battalion of Dianman, thus greatly increasing his strength. However, the Han army's encirclement, pursuit, and robbery everywhere made this lone army in the enemy formation without a fight, without a fight, without a fight, and its strength was greatly reduced. And after the winter, especially after the snow, this army can no longer survive, how many times, Cao Tai and Dian watched their soldiers freeze to death on the sentry post, their faces like life.

However, they did not dare to march south, because there were Ji Han's soldiers in the south, and several clashes failed, so they had to go north to attract the attention of the Han army in the movement war. Fortunately, a surprise attack broke through Zhangwu City, and enough food, grass and winter clothes were obtained, so that the troops could rest for a while, but the Ji Han army forced up again like a wolf that bit its prey and refused to let go.

Where is the return journey, the escape, why is it so difficult?

"General, the Ma Dai front is less than thirty miles away from our army. Zhang Bao, Guan Xing, and Guan Ping also surrounded them from the southwest. ”

"What about the north?"

"Li Yu and Guan Fengbu are still standing still in Dongpingshu."

"It seems that Ji Han's main forces have all been attracted to Zhang Wu. Attention of the whole army, start your troops tonight and raid the Han army! ”
