Early in the morning of the eighth day of September, Shao Xun respectfully went to Fanyang Palace.

After a while, the servants in the palace opened the main gate, and Shao Xun, escorted by fifty armor soldiers, entered to visit.

The princess looks like she is in her thirties, she is from the Fanyang Lu family, she may have never experienced this kind of chaos, she is slightly panicked, and when she saw Shao Xun, a powerful martial artist, her hands subconsciously clenched her skirt, and she was obviously not calm in her heart.

"What did the general do here...... So what's going on? "Lu Shi looks very delicate, petite, and speaks softly, even trembling slightly.

The canary in the cage has not experienced the rain, snow, wind and frost of society. Shao Xun probably understood, Princess Fan Yang was over thirty years old, but her psychological age was not necessarily, this kind of person was easy to deal with, although she might not be able to speak in front of Sima Yu.

"Don't worry, princess." Shao Xun squeezed out a few gentle smiles and said, "What happened last night was really a misunderstanding. On the order of Sikong, we led our division south to aid Xuchang. Unexpectedly, Tian Governor thought that the thief army was so big that he fled in a hurry, which made people laugh. ”

Well? Lu's eyes widened, and he looked a little incredulous.

"Really?" She asked.

"Really." Shao Xun said: "If the princess doesn't believe it, she can send someone out of the city to pursue it, or she can find Tian Douhu and invite her back to Xuchang." After a confrontation, the matter will be clear. ”

Lu Shi bit his lip tightly, and his fingers subconsciously picked at his nails, looking a little moved and a little worried.

Shao Xun nervously awaited her reply.

Tian Hui, he should have run away, right? If you really get him back, it's a little embarrassing. It really didn't work, so he sent people to guard outside the city and quietly intercepted and killed the matter.

Just as he was thinking about it, the Lu family spoke: "The concubine wants to repair a book and send it to the camp of King Fanyang, can the general make it convenient?" ”

"You can't do it." Shao Xun said: "I am Shao Xun, the lieutenant general of the left guard hall of the Luoyang Chinese Army, the general of the Yuefu family, on the order of the Si Air Force, led 10,000 troops as the vanguard, galloped to the aid of Xuchang, and conquered Liu Qiao's father and son. is brave and loyal, and has no intention of colliding, the princess also asks for an explanation, don't distract King Fanyang and affect the war in Hebei. Alas, the soldiers are in danger and the fierce fights, once they are distracted......"

Lu's face turned pale, and he got up directly and said, "The concubine will write a letter." ”

As soon as he stumbled out two steps, Xu realized that there were outsiders present, his face was hot, and he hurriedly cleaned up his mood, came to the corner of the study with a dignified and elegant attitude, knelt down, spread out the pen and paper to write a letter.

Shao Xun really wanted to see what was written in the letter, but there was no suitable reason, so he had to give up.

At the same time, the calculations are weighed repeatedly in the mind.

How would Sima Yu react when he saw his wife's letter? Will they send troops back in a hurry?

Rational analysis, it should be, but the mood may not be so urgent.

As long as it drags on for ten days and a half months!

When I transport the iron armor in the arsenal, and divide the other equipment and goods equally with everyone, then the law will not blame the people, and what will happen to you.

There are nearly 18,000 soldiers, everyone has a share, and no matter how unhappy Sikong is, he can only pinch his nose and admit it.

It's a sure thing to wear small shoes afterwards, but so what? The soldiers will block, and the water will cover it.

"Will the general still go to conquest Liu Qiao's father and son?" A timid voice sounded in the corner.

"Naturally, I want it." Shao Xun looked indignant and said: "Liu Qiao's rat generation, he actually took advantage of the Northern Expedition of King Fan Yang to Jizhou to make a rebellion, if he is not captured, it is really difficult to understand the righteous indignation in his heart. ”

Lu felt a little relieved and continued to write letters.

A moment later, she sealed the letter, summoned a servant, and sent it to the camp in Hebei as soon as possible.

Shao Xun didn't stop the whole process, and after seeing that the letter was written, he immediately said: "Liu Qiaofang has a good will, the people in Yuzhou are unstable, and there may be a small collusion in Xuchang City. The palace is very important, and there must be no errands, so the servants send dozens of soldiers to this place, so that the thieves will not disturb the princess. ”

Lu Shi was silent for a while, and then said, "The general can do it himself." ”

"The servant is leaving." Shao Xun saluted and quietly retreated.

When he reached the door, he called Gao Yi and Zhang Jin, and said, "Search for horses and mules quickly, the more the better." In addition, don't go out of the city to ask for it, the Yingchuan Duoxun clan and other big families, don't conflict with them first. ”

"No." The two answered.

The long march to Xuchang was not without the loss of horses and mules, but now of course it had to be replenished, and it had to be fast.

Because he really wants to fight Liu Qiao next. Whether you can fight or not is another matter, but there must be action.

That's politics, and attitude matters.

******

Liu Qiao is actually still in Peiguo and has not left.

The reason is that he is worried that Sima Yue will come back again, although the possibility is very small.

Of the 30,000 Xuzhou army, only a few thousand people really died, and most of them ran away in the process of fleeing. If Sima Yue put it all away, it would be a big trouble.

At the same time, he was still constantly fighting with Sima Yue, Sima Yu and others.

From time to time, the messenger rushed out and sent him to Luoyang with his watch.

He also received a letter from Liu Hong in Jingzhou.

After all, they fought together back then, and they still have friendships. Liu Hong proposed in the letter that he was willing to be a Chinese to resolve the conflict between him and Sima Yue and "award the royal family", but Liu Qiao was not interested.

He is angry now, Sima Yue, who is famous all over the world, but so, I want to see if he dares to go out of Xuzhou.

Liu Hong also sent a letter to Sima Yue, which was also rejected in stern terms.

He was very uncomfortable with this.

So he asked the court, thinking that in history, there had never been such a cannibalistic person, "the minister stole and grieved". Now there are changes in the border plug, but the Central Plains is in chaos, the kings are not considerate of the country, only to compete for the long and short of things, if the four Yi take advantage of the void, it will cause a catastrophe.

He suggested that the imperial court issue an edict, ordering King Zong and Fang Bo to release their previous suspicions, and each guard the fiefdom, if anyone moves troops without the edict of the Son of Heaven, the whole world will punish him.

It should be said that Liu Hong, the governor of Jingzhou, is one of the few loyal ministers of the Great Jin Dynasty, and he is really thinking about the world.

It's a pity that Sima Yue couldn't listen to him at all.

Liu Qiao didn't know Liu Hong's true thoughts, but he really enjoyed the pleasure of touching Sima Yue and constantly fighting with each other.

A letter was sent to various places and even Luo Jing, clearly expressing his attitude: Sima Yue and I are incompatible, what is he who dares to claim to be the hope of the world?

On the eighth day of the ninth month, Liu Qiao sent his son Liu You and the generals to various counties to collect grain and grass, and continued to be crucified in Peiguo, and Sima Yue was consumed.

Sima Yue really doesn't want to pay attention to his stinky shit, lose his share!

But who made him fight at the level of the war so dish? Now that he is entangled by Liu Qiao, he can't move an inch, so he can only roll with him in the muddy pond. In a fit of rage, he finally agreed to King Fanyang's request, sent Pegasus to Youzhou, and asked 5,000 Xianbei cavalry to go south to help in the battle.

Under such circumstances, Shao Xun finally waited for more than 5,000 cavalry led by Huang Biao and Li Chong on September 13.

And before they arrived, the people of Yushanwu had already come twice and transported more than a thousand iron armors.

The speed is somewhat slow, mainly due to the lack of vehicles. When the people from Yunzhongwu come over, it will definitely change.

On September 14, on the school field outside Xuchang City, the flag wind hunted.

Horses of silk were handed down.

Everyone who received the reward shouted "General Xie's reward" and returned to the queue beaming.

Huang Biao and others are nothing, but Li Chong is politically minded.

During the whole rewarding process, he felt quite uncomfortable. In the end, he finally couldn't help it and asked, "Open the treasury without permission and reward the sergeants, does the general know what he is doing?" ”

Shao Xun glanced at him and didn't speak.

Huang Biao, Zhang Gu and others were not happy, and bluntly rebuked: "Li Chong, what nonsense are you talking about? The big war is coming, how can no reward boost morale? ”

"It's not easy for brothers to support their families, so what's the point of getting a reward?"

"Li Chong, you're crazy!"

The owners of the building blamed one after another, and even Duan Liang, the cavalry governor of the Xiao Cavalry Army, who was attached to him, was quite dissatisfied.

This Xianbei man played with the brocade in his hand and said with a smile: "Master Li might as well listen to the opinions of the sons and daughters under the tent?" ”

Li Chong didn't bother to deal with him, only looked at Shao Xun, and said, "The general has always acted in a measured manner, and he should know the stakes." If King Fan Yang returns to his teacher, he will be investigated and he will be afraid of twists and turns. ”

"I have my own plans for this matter, so don't say more." Shao Xun said.

Li Chong was stunned, sighed after a while, and said, "Obey." ”

"Today, the whole army is drunk, and tomorrow the troops will send Peiguo to conquer Liu Qiao." Shao Xun ordered again.

Including Li Chong, everyone responded in unison.

The Luoyang Forbidden Army has been trained for less than half a year, and although there are many veterans of the Chinese army, the combat effectiveness is still worrying.

However, following Shao Xun to fight, everyone is confident, it was so difficult to carry it before, but now I'm afraid of a fart, just fight!

That night, the whole army slaughtered pigs and sheep, and the wine and meat were enough. More than 6,000 soldiers ate with their mouths full of oil and enjoyed themselves, and in addition to the rewards distributed during the day, everyone was suddenly excited, and their morale rose a lot.

On September 15, Shao Xun left Huang Biao and Zheng Dong to lead 1,000 troops, stayed in Xuchang, and led more than 5,500 people to the south, and sent troops to Peiguo.

The army marched extremely quickly, and arrived at Xinji in the evening.

That night, Shao Xun appointed Li Zhong to command the infantry army of 4,000 men, and he took all the horses and mules he had collected, and the general Tu and the newly arrived cavalry governor Duan Liangbu of 500 men, left the camp at night and disappeared on the east bank of Rushui.
