Chapter 65: A Subtle Attitude

Just when Wang Sang and Liu Ling tried to meet Wang Mi and go south to Ji County again, the Xingyang Shogunate also received a seal from Ji County.

Sima Yue already knew the news that Pei Xian had abandoned the army and fled, to be honest, he was surprised, and even more angry!

He never thought of abandoning the Great River defense line and retreating without a fight.

Even if you can't exterminate the Liu Han forces in Hebei, you must at least hold the Yellow River, right? If people rush straight to Henan, everyone will suffer.

Therefore, his order to Pei Xian was very clear: to garrison troops on Baima and defend the crossing, and at the same time send rangers to patrol everywhere to prevent thieves from smuggling.

All in all, even if you don't dare to cross the river to the north, at least you have to guard the Yellow River for me.

Obviously, Pei Xian let him down.

"Send someone to Luoyang to remove Pei Xian from the post of assassin of Yuzhou, and remove Pei Xian from the post of Hongnong Taishou." Sima Yue leaned weakly on the back of the couch and commanded.

Pei Xian abandoned the army and fled, of course, he had to be dismissed.

Pei Hui provided a lot of convenience to the Shaw Clan's three dock forts in Hongnong because he was in office: he did not pay grain, did not pay food, and the seized land was also legalized.

This made Sima Yue very unhappy, and it happened that Pei Xian's matter came, which made his impression of the Pei family even worse, so they dismissed the matter together.

"Taifu, what is Pei Hui's name for being dismissed?" The chief bookkeeper Guo Xiang asked.

"Pei Xian's punishment is too much, and it is not popular with the people, so he is exempted."

"No." Guo Xiang quickly wrote a note and sent an envoy to Luoyang.

In this matter, the two Shangshu servants, the middle book supervisor and even Situ Wang Yan will not save the face of the Taifu.

As long as they don't object, Pei Xian and Pei Xian's officials will be lost. And this, in fact, is also Taifu's faint dissatisfaction with the Pei family, who did you send me?

I'm worthy of your Pei family!

Pei Chun was appointed as the Taishou of Xingyang, Pei was appointed as the Taishou of Hanoi, and Pei Xuan was appointed as the Taishou of Hongnong.

Pei Dun served as the assassin of Xuzhou, and Pei Xian served as the assassin of Yuzhou.

Pei Kuo served as the general of the right guard.

Pei Miao served as a shogunate engaged in Zhonglang.

That's how you repay me?

It's a pity that there are such people around him now.

To this day, Sima Yue also regrets it a little, feeling that they have brought him a lot of trouble.

But it's useless to regret it, who can you use without them? Without them, who will support themselves?

If you get the benefit of the scholars, you won't be able to get off the boat.

"Taifu, the white horse is ......" After Guo Xiang finished writing, he felt that he should be reminded.

Even if you think about your own life, you can't let the thieves come to Henan.

Sima Yue thought about it, looked at Guo Xiang directly, and asked, "How many soldiers are there in Yuzhou?" ”

"And ......" Guo Xiang can't be right.

"Taifu, there are 20,000 people in total." Liu Yu said on the side: "When he pacified Hebei, he killed a group in the war, and he was taken to Yanzhou by Gou Xi that year. ”

"Wang Shiwen will rectify the soldiers and horses and recruit a new batch of new soldiers." Sima Yue commanded.

"No."

"Yanzhou soldiers also practice well." After Sima Yue finished speaking, he sighed secretly.

There are still more than 40,000 Yanzhou soldiers.

He was the pastor of Yanzhou, the nominal commander of the Yanzhou soldiers, but it was impossible to manage it personally, and in fact it was handed over to the people of the shogunate to take charge.

What is it like now, he has no bottom in his heart, and vaguely remembers that Gou Xi led this group of people to break Jisang and Shile in the Dongwuyang area, which was majestic.

The Xuzhou soldiers have recovered to twenty or thirty thousand, led by Pei Dun.

Coupled with the kingdom army, carefully calculated, he has a lot of soldiers on hand, although they are scattered everywhere.

These soldiers still have to be trained well, and they will be handed over to the prince in the future. Otherwise, how could he gain a foothold in troubled times?

I don't know why, he has been thinking about Shizi lately, which makes him a little dazed and a little frightened.

He sometimes thinks of Shao Xun and the prophecy that gradually spreads.

Taibai came to the world, Xuchang Kukai, this is something that has happened.

Luoshui is cut off, and the real person is out, which has yet to be fulfilled.

Whether it was true or not, he didn't want to see this person continue to jump up and down.

"Qingsun, report ahead, Liu Yuanhai takes Shi Le as the commander, and rides 100,000 steps, really? False yes? Sima Yue asked suddenly.

"Or maybe it's a lie." Liu Yu thought for a while and replied: "But there should still be thirty or forty thousand horsemen, and it is a trick for soldiers to claim 100,000 in this way." Pei Yuzhou sent several groups of spies, and it was only after he found out about this military situation that he messed up. If there are only tens of thousands of ordinary foot riders, why not. ”

Sima Yue nodded.

Thirty or forty thousand cavalry, can't they eat Shao Xun's ten thousand people? Let the Huns bury him.

However, he is more likely to stay in Jijun, cowering, and should think carefully about what means to deal with him.

******

Luoyang received the news a day later.

On the fifth day of the first month of October, after the dismissal of the court meeting, the Son of Heaven moved to Hualin Garden, and entertained several important ministers with tea and wine, and asked right by the way.

Queen Liang personally trained a group of female musicians and dancers to help the fun.

The monarch and the ministers are happy, impassioned, and have a prosperous scene.

The people who came were:

The crown prince young Fu Xun Fan - the current prince's name is Sima Quan, the younger brother of the former prince Sima Qin (King of Qinghe) and the grandson of Sima Yan.

Shangshu left servant shot Liu Jun, Shangshu Ling Gaoguang, Shang Shulang He Sui, Tai servant Qing Miao Yin, Taishi Ling Gao Tangchong, scattered cavalry Lang Wang Yan and more than ten people.

Due to the defeat of Yuyuan Pass, Miao Bo resigned from his position in the forbidden army and became a waiter of the Yellow Gate. But this is just an excess, I heard that I will soon be promoted to the middle of the bench and participate in the secret.

In addition to the Son of Heaven, there are also courtiers such as Situ Wang Yan, Shizhong Yumin, Right Guard General Pei Kuo, and Xiaocai General Wang Hu.

They are not the people of the Son of Heaven, but they can only be said to be slightly inclined to Sima Yue, and in the past year or so, they have become more and more disappointed in Sima Yue, and they belong to objects that can be cooperated and even wooed.

Queen Liang Lanbi always paid attention to the situation in the field, and then arranged the program, and the rhythm was just right, which made the monarchs and ministers very useful.

Empress Liang was also very happy.

The twenty-one-year-old young queen only has the Son of Heaven in her eyes, and most of the time she looks at her husband with reverence and admiration.

The Son of Heaven wants to revive the dynasty and regain the power lost in the era of the previous emperors, which is called putting things right, which is justified.

Now there happened to be such an opportunity, and although she was a little uneasy, she was still extremely supportive.

Today, the sages are all over the place, talking about the country, which makes her feel that her husband is doing the right thing, and the tenderness and sweetness in her eyes are about to overflow.

However, there was one thing that made her feel that something was wrong-

"What the Marquis of Lu Yang played, the minister thinks it should be taken seriously." When everyone talked about the affairs of Hebei, Yu Min said: "Either fight or retreat, the war wants to retreat, and retreat before the battle is not the way to use soldiers." ”

When Yu Min said this, it was difficult for everyone to avoid this question.

When the Son of Heaven looked at him, he suddenly became a little bored.

Yesterday, he vaguely asked the ministers, Yu Min is talented, can he be the uncle of any state?

He really didn't expect that the important minister he personally selected would actually have a relationship with Shao Xun, so he wanted to kick him out and change him.

Shang Shu Ling Gao Guang suggested that Yu Min be appointed as the assassin of Yongzhou, and transfer the general Shan Jian into the west of the town as a servant.

This matter was opposed by Liu Jun, because he was worried that Shan Jian would lose his position.

Situ Wang Yan also faintly expressed his opposition, thinking that Guanzhong was really important and should be calm.

If the Son of Heaven has to select the virtuous and virtuous people of the state and county to enter the court, then he might as well use Shan Jian as the right servant of Shangshu, Yu Min is still in the middle of the service, and Ding Xuan, the old man of the King of Nanyang, can be appointed as the assassin of Yongzhou to calm his heart.

Wang Situ's suggestion made Gao Guang and Liu Jun very satisfied.

Gao Guang has an old relationship with Shan Jian, and wants him to enter the court to help him and balance Liu Jun.

Liu Jun kept the position of Shangshu's left servant shooting, and was barely satisfied - the left and right servant shots, mainly left.

Shan Jian must also have the intention of leaving Guanzhong and going to Luoyang Flower World to have fun.

Yu Min is most reluctant to go to Guanzhong, and the service is very powerful, so fools don't want it.

Sima Mo, the king of Nanyang, sent away the assassin selected by the imperial court and replaced him with a confidant, who was equally happy.

Wang Situ's proposal made everyone happy!

Of course, the Son of Heaven was not satisfied, but he had no choice but to give up the idea of letting Yu Min get out of the way.

"Shao Qing has 20,000 people, brave and good at fighting, how can he not break the thief? Yu Qing is worried. The Son of Heaven smiled and said, "I am in the palace, waiting for good news." ”

Yu Min was silent.

The Son of Heaven obviously had an opinion about Shao Xun.

But last year, the Son of Heaven was still full of joy and wanted to win over Lu Yanghou, treating him as another Miao Yin and Miao Bo.

There is probably only one reason for this: rumors.

This niece-in-law, alas! Rise too fast, envied, I don't know who was trapped.

Of course, there are many far-fetched rumors, but the wise do not believe them. But when it comes to things like belonging to the world, it has always been better to believe in what is there than what it is not.

The Son of Heaven was also restrained, otherwise I am afraid that he would have found a reason to kill Lu Yanghou.

In this Northern Expedition, it is unlikely that the Son of Heaven will intervene.

At the same time, Yu Min also felt a little emotional.

The Xiongnu captured Pingyang and Hedong counties, and Taifu vowed to go on a northern expedition, but in the end it was such an ending.

Now that I think about it, Taifu didn't really want to go on the Northern Expedition.

It's just because he indulged Wang Mi all the way, his prestige was seriously damaged, and he wanted to do something to save people's hearts.

But as for this measure to save people's hearts, he only stayed on his lips, and shrank back when he moved seriously, and even Wang Mi and Shi Le's generation were afraid, what else is there to say?

Alas, a bunch of fools!

If the Marquis of Luyang is smart, he should retreat his troops and return to the snake, anyway, if all the ministries are not together, no one can blame him.

Let's go back and find someone to bring a letter.
