Chapter 116: Arrogance
In Yecheng, Shi Hu, who had just completed the enthronement ceremony, sat paralyzed on the imperial couch, his fat body breathing violently, and drops of cold sweat oozed from his face.
Liang Li's capture of Luoyang was a fatal blow to Zhao Zhao.
The brutality is to deter all ethnic groups in the country and suppress people's hearts, and now the more ferocious Liang Calf has been killed, which is equivalent to shaking the foundation of Shi Hu's rule forged by brutality and terror.
Li Nong was defeated, and Shi Hu was left with only one choice, using Pu Hong and Yao Yizhong.
The continuous bad news of "Li Nong bears my ......" made Shi Hu more and more haggard, and it seemed that he lacked the strength to speak.
"Although the Metropolitan Governor is loyal, he lacks too many soldiers." Zhang Jackal's eyes flashed with joy, Li Nong's army was defeated, and the most powerful person in the court was only his distant brother Zhang Ju, who was beaten together with eight poles.
This sentence reminded Shi Hu of the defeat of Fancheng, and Li Nong's 40,000 cavalry could not defeat Yuewan's 1,000 defenders.
It's not that Shi Hu doesn't know Li Nong's shortcomings, it's just that most of the elite soldiers of Zhao Zhao confronted the Liangzhou Zhang clan in Longyou, and the other half confronted Murong Ba in Jicheng.
Coupled with Shi Xuan and Shi Tao, who had just killed each other, Shi Hu had no one available for a while, so he had to use Li Nong as the commander.
Li Nong's ability is mediocre, but at least there is no problem with loyalty.
"What do you think we should do now?" Shi Hu was also ill and rushed to the doctor.
Zhang Jackal's eyes flashed, "The thief army only came with a blood qi, and it has no ambition, it will not last long, as long as it guards the gates such as Chenggao and Fangtou, the thieves will destroy themselves." ”
His words seemed to stimulate Shi Hu, and his face flushed, "If that's the case, when do you need to kill the thief?" The Jiangdong group of rats is ready to move, and the swallow thieves are also fighting fiercely, this battle must not be delayed for a long time, otherwise the enemy will be attacked on all sides! ”
After finishing speaking, he coughed a few more times and shook his spirits, "Come on, summon Yan Wang Shibin, the chariot general Pu Hong, and the champion general Yao Yizhong to see me!" ”
A spring snow is sweeping Fangtou.
Flooded with endless fields and villages, only a fangtou city stood alone in the wind and snow.
Since he was stationed in Fangtou for more than ten years, it was the first time that Shi Hu ordered Pu Hong to lead his troops into battle, and in the past, he only recruited Di people to join the Zhao army.
"Zhao lost his deer, and the world chased him!" Pu Jian unabashedly showed his ambitions.
"Arrogance!" Pu Hong scolded angrily, but his expression did not mean any reproach.
Another son, Pu Xiong, arched his hand and said: "Liang Qian rebelled, first broke Liu Ning, and then defeated Shi Bao and Li Nong. Guanzhong is the place where the dragon rises, and now there is emptiness in Guanzhong, adults should prepare early! ”
Since the fourth year of Xiankang (338), Pu Hong and his sons have aroused the fear of Shi Hu because of their outstanding military achievements.
Shi Min and the eminent monk Buddha Tucheng both advised Shi Hu: "Guan Pu has a royal spirit, and it is advisable to get rid of it urgently." ”
Shi Hu became murderous, and Pu Hong said that he was sick and had been hiding in Fangtou.
couldn't move Pu Hong, so he killed his son.
Pu Hong had more than a dozen sons, and only Pu Jian and Pu Xiong were killed.
However, although there are only two brothers left, there are many grandchildren, Pu Jing, Pu Luo, Pu Huangmei, Pu Fa, etc., all of whom are both civil and military, and are brave and good at fighting.
Since moving to Fangtou, the Pu family is blessed, and the children and grandchildren are frequently talented, compared with the Shihu sons who hunt all day long, and it is no wonder that they are feared.
"Don't worry, the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, the Central Plains deer is fat, and let's see who can eat the biggest piece!" Pu Hong's eyes shot two sharp rays, and the murder of the sons was exchanged for his livelihood, which was painful.
For ten years, I have been worried every day, and I finally waited for today!
Pu Hong stood up with his head held high, pushed open the door, and the cold wind swept in the wind and snow.
In the wind and snow, more than 20 people from three generations of the Pu family, such as Pu Jing, Pu Luo, and Pu Huangmei, stood in armor.
The youngest, Puhong, is now 12 years old......
These grandchildren are Pu Hong's confidence.
Returning to Guanzhong is just the next policy, Guanzhong has been devastated for a long time since the end of the Han Dynasty, and it is no longer the former capital of the Han Dynasty.
After the Wei and Jin dynasties, Guanzhong was the source of trouble, the population withered, the fields were barren, wild beasts were rampant, a ruin, and the only population was also gathered in the dock fort of the heroes.
Liang Li's rebellion is the only trace of vitality in Guanzhong.
Compared with Hebei, which is full of plastering, it is clear which is stronger and which is weak.
Guanzhong is just a retreat, not a place for heroes!
Shi Hu is terminally ill, all the sons are powerless to turn the tide, and it is still unknown who the flowers of the northern country will be!
"The Tao strategy of the adults is ten times that of Shi Hu, and this battle is the beginning of the rise of my Pu family!" Pu Jian's eyes were extremely eager......
North of Yecheng.
A fine cavalry of 8,000 men was galloping towards him.
Among the horses, Yao Yizhong, who was exactly seventy years old, was also surrounded by a group of heirs.
The left-handed Yaowu generals Yao Yisheng and Yao Yinmai, the right-hand Wuwei generals Yao Ruo and Yao Shuode, and Yao Xu and Yao Huang behind them, are all strong people.
However, the only one who can keep pace with him is the fifth son Yao Xiang, who is eight feet five inches tall, hanging his arms above his knees, majestic and versatile, and is extremely popular among the people, and he is also the successor carefully cultivated by Yao Yizhong.
Entering Yecheng under the wind and snow, it happened that Shi Hu was seriously ill and could not see anyone, so he was only entertained with imperial meals.
Yao Yizhong was angry and did not eat, and shouted in the Taiwu Palace: "Call me to fight the thief, how can you come to forage for evil spirits!" I don't know if Your Majesty survives, but if I see it, I will have no hatred even if I die. ”
Shi Hu had no choice but to summon him with illness.
When Yao Yizhong saw Shi Hu terminally ill and half-dead, he said: "The two sons are alive and dead, why are they so sick?" When you are young, you don't have to be assisted by a good person, and when you grow up, you prefer to connive, so you will have today's disaster! You have been ill for a long time, the prince you have set up is young, and after a hundred years, the world will be in turmoil, and now you should worry about this matter, not a thief! ”
Shi Hu's eyes widened, and the guards and palace people around him were dumbfounded.
Even Yao Yizhong's sons had black eyes and swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, Shi Hu could even torture and kill his own sons and grandsons, let alone outsiders?
"Old Qiang is coming to annoy!" Shi Hu shook his hand weakly, and his round eyes returned to normal.
Yao Yizhong laughed: "Liang Qian and the others are traitors and thieves because of their desire to return, and they have no ambitions. Lao Qiang, please serve the striker, and you can break it in one fell swoop. ”
The person in the world who dares to speak to Shi Hu like this is Yao Yizhong.
This is not the first time that a stone tiger has been confronted in person.
When he killed Shi Le Manmen back then, Yao Yizhong said that he was not sick, and he was repeatedly recruited before he entered the meeting, and he also reprimanded Shi Hu in this way: "Why don't you entrust your arm and take it back!" ”
Instead of seeing sin, Shi Hu became more and more gracious.
It's the same now, Shi Hu replied with disgust, "If I can break the thief, I won't have to worry about my illness!" ”
On the spot, Yao Yizhong was awarded the envoy to hold the festival, serve in the middle, and conquer the west, and reward the armor and horses.
"Do you think Lao Qiang can be a thief?" Yao Yizhong crossed the horse in the court on the spot, galloped south, and came out without resignation.
The sons prostrated one after another, and followed behind......
