Chapter Fifty-Nine: Guanzhong and Pingyang
In the early morning mist, there was a loud shout of killing.
Thousands of soldiers stood in an open field, lined up in a neat line, and in the midst of the rousing drums, came a charge.
After the charge, the officers who carried the flag began their daily beating and scolding.
The recruits were trained to look like gray grandsons, their heads almost down to the crotch of their pants.
The whole process lasted about half an hour.
After beating and scolding and resting, the army continued to line up, and more than 300 Shaw soldiers rode war horses, from far and near, and began the second round of training.
This was to familiarize the recruits with cavalry.
The more familiar and understandable you are, the less likely you are to be afraid, and the less likely you are to scare yourself.
Wei Fu and Liang Chen accompanied Shao Xun to walk around the array, talking and laughing from time to time.
"After the king of Hejian, the soldiers in Guanzhong are not as good as day by day. Until now, it is completely dependent on the wealthy family and the Qiangqi Huzhong. Liang Chen's gaze turned around on the soldiers of the right battalion of the Silver Spear Army, and said, "Ming Gong, this soldier, if you train for another year or two, it will become a climate." ”
"How is it compared to the Huns?" Shao Xun asked.
"If you face the Hun cavalry, it will be a little difficult." Liang Chen said truthfully: "I heard that Ming Gong still has a silver spear left battalion, crisscrossing the north and south, or can win the battle." ”
"If I raise a silver spear and follow the righteous people on a northern expedition, I may defeat the Huns?"
"I can't." Wei Fu and Liang Chen said almost in unison, and there was even a little worry on their faces, they were really afraid that Shao Xun's brain would be hot, thinking that with 10,000 or 20,000 silver spear troops and thousands of cavalry, they would attack the Huns.
"Haha." Shao Xun was very satisfied, these two people asked for him, and even attached themselves to him, but they didn't follow him, and their character was still okay.
If the northern expedition against the Xiongnu is to be carried out, judging from the current situation, it will definitely lead to a full-scale decisive battle.
It's impossible to say that you only attack one place, and everyone else is watching the show, so that you can weaken them a little bit.
If you want to fight, you must have at least four Northern Expeditions.
Attack Hongnong all the way and remove the flank threat.
Attack Hanoi all the way and go straight to Shangdang.
Attacking Hebei all the way, even if you don't fight with Shi Le and Shi Chaoda, you have to assign people in this direction.
Finally, it is necessary to monitor Qingzhou all the way.
Even, if someone in Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and Xuzhou is making trouble and dragging its feet, you have to divide the three-way soldiers and horses.
The four ways are too reluctant for him now.
Moreover, he now needs to train a general.
In this regard, the general needs to have two qualities: first, his own people, loyalty, which is the first priority; Second, the ability is qualified.
In the past, he was too hands-on, worried that he would lose all the money on hand, and he didn't worry about letting his subordinates take charge alone.
Now, the power has reached a new level, and it is no longer possible to learn from the old small-scale peasant practices.
Jin Zheng and Wang Que'er, they have to let go, the teacher has been taking care of them, and the students will not get enough opportunities for growth.
After the spring ploughing, Wang Qi'er had led the left battalion of the Silver Spear Army to Gaoping, and let him be in charge of one direction alone to cultivate the overall ability.
Li Chong went to Puyang and continued to lead the Dahe defense line.
The South is empty.
At this time, if Sima Rui steals his ass, the trouble is still relatively big - this is one of the main reasons why Shao Xun has always insisted on protecting the imperial court.
The imperial court is gone, and the last bit of righteous restraint on Sima Rui's head is gone, and he can move freely.
The imperial court is here, and Sima Rui sent a boat division from Shouchun to the north, and the possibility of attacking Chen County will be much smaller.
"When you go to Nanyang, you can discuss everything with Le Hongxu." Shao Xun said: "Expand the army with all your might, Governor Liang will not do anything to you, after all, the imperial court is still there." ”
"When does Ming Gong think the war in Guanzhong will end?" Wei Fu asked.
"It's hard to say." Shao Xun said: "This fact depends on the Huns, it depends on how much capital Liu Cong is willing to invest." ”
Wei Fu and Liang Chen nodded, they also had this opinion.
To tell the truth, the first time the Xiongnu attacked Guanzhong, it was too smooth, and it was a bit of a trick.
Who would have thought that Zhao Ran would turn his face with the king of Nanyang because of a Feng Yi's position too guarded?
After Zhao Ran surrendered, he helped the Xiongnu disintegrate the army stationed in Tongguan. In this way, the two armies sent out by the King of Nanyang were all finished.
Chang'an was also very short of food - after two consecutive years of disasters, there was no shortage of food in the whole north - there was no way to recruit new soldiers, and the emptiness was incomparable, so that the Xiongnu could succeed at once.
Now Fufeng, Anding and other places are raising troops anyway, purely because the Huns did not fight the first battle. If it can be suppressed this time, Guanzhong can be really stable.
"Where is Concubine Nanyang?" Shao Xun said again: "Nanyang Kingdom can't be without her, otherwise the name will not be right." ”
Liang Chen silently stopped.
Wei Fu followed behind Shao Xun and continued to walk forward for seven or eight steps before he whispered, "The concubine took the princess and the princess in Liuhua Courtyard. ”
Shao Xun turned around abruptly and looked at Wei Fu.
Wei Fu lowered his head and didn't speak again.
Damn, how did I do what I did "secretly", how did it make people see the clues in the end?
You retainers, one by one, are more refined than monkeys, and you were all pretending to be stupid before, right?
Hearing the news of the "princess", Shao Xun's heart throbbed.
He wanted to hug the child and let his daughter see her father.

This daughter is really wronged by the fact that she has no name or point now.
Shao Xun was a little irritable when he thought of this, how could he deceive his wife and secretly go to see Xiao Sansheng's child? Online help, urgent.
"I'll find a chance to pay a visit to the concubine." Shao Xun said: "Guanzhong, you are better informed than me, pay attention to inquiring." As soon as there is a situation, report it immediately. ”
"Okay." Wei Fu agreed without hesitation.
As the remnants of the Nanyang King, if they want to struggle to survive in this troubled world, they can only rely on the stronger side and gain their support.
Chen Gong was now the only one willing to support these lonely ghosts, so he could only listen to him.
******
The capital of Liu Han is Pingyang, and there is a palace in the city, which is called "Pingyang Palace", which is the power center of Liu Han, the most powerful force in the north.
Since the New Year, Pingyang Palace has issued one decree after another, and the positions of the imperial court have been adjusted.
Of course, these are all small things, and the most talkative one is the "peach news".
Liu Cong took Sikong Wang Yu and Shang Shuling Ren Yinu as the left and right Zhaoyi.
With Wang Zhang, the general of the Chinese army, Fan Long (formerly Da Honglu), the left servant of Shangshu shooting Ma Jingnu as his wife, and the right servant of Shangshu shooting Zhu Ji (formerly Zhongshu Supervisor) as his concubine, all of them with gold and purple ribbons.
The second daughter of Taibao Liu Yin is the left and right noble concubines, and she is located on Zhaoyi.
and Liu Yin's four granddaughters are nobles, ranking second to concubines.
So the six women of the two generations of the Liu family spoiled the harem, so that Liu Cong didn't go out much during this time, and the eunuchs reported that the ministers had something to do.
He's going to focus more on women.
Of course, Liu Cong is not a faint gentleman in the end, and he has fun playing with women, but political affairs are still reasonable.
In the first month, Jin Chong, the general of Zhenbei, and Bu Jue, the general of Pingbei, led the army to attack Jinyang, and Liu Cong agreed.
In fact, the scale of the troops was not large, but Liu Kun had fewer troops, and Jinyang was directly surrounded. But this matter is not over, the outcome of the Battle of Jinyang depends on whether Tuoba Xianbei will end up or not.
"Chang'an! It's Chang'an again! After Liu Cong watched the recital, he was not happy in his heart, and even the beauties surrounding him were not pleasing to the eye.
"Your Majesty is bored, it is better to go out of the palace to see if the second hall of Huiguang and Wenming has been completed, and it is better to relax." The noble Liu came over and persuaded.
"Mention some of the things that are not fun!" Liu Cong pushed Liu away and said angrily.
Liu didn't expect the Son of Heaven to behave like this, and he used to dote on her and her two aunts in a lot, but now he changed color, and suddenly shed a few tears.
"Cry! Just know to cry! Liu Cong scolded: "If you cry again, I will give you to Shao Xun as a congratulatory gift, and there is just a new person in the palace." ”
Liu immediately stopped crying.
Liu Cong snorted coldly, and secretly said that his cousin Zhang Yu's two daughters, Huiguang and Liguang, were good, and they would be included in the palace as nobles after a while - it just so happened that the Queen Mother also had this intention.
However, he suddenly thought that Shao Xunna, the princess of Fanyang, and the prince of Chengdu, Le, had entered the mansion, but they had more fun than him, and he was suddenly a little melancholy.
Zuo Guifei Liu Ying walked over quietly, signaled her niece Xiao Liu Guiren to leave quickly, and then picked up the folds on the ground, and after reading it roughly, she sat down next to Liu Cong and persuaded: "Your Majesty, Guanzhong is new, the people's hearts are not attached, the king of Zhongshan has few soldiers, and I am afraid that the enemy is not Jia and Liang. ”
Liu Cong was silent for a while, and then said, "You don't know anything." If there are others, I have already gained soldiers, but what ...... eternal life?"
Liu Ying persuaded again: "The King of Zhongshan is loyal to His Majesty, why doubt it?" ”
Liu Cong sighed and said: "The imperial court is using troops in Jinyang, and in February and March, agricultural affairs are in a hurry, so it is really not appropriate to make a big deal out of the ministries, and wait until March and April when the pasture grass returns to green." ”
Liu Ying looked at Liu Cong and knew that he had made up her mind, so she stopped persuading her wisely.
The imperial court's use of troops in Jinyang was really an accident.
Xing Yan, the general of Jinyang Yamen, offered Liu Kun with a jade stone in order to make progress, and Liu Kun changed hands and gave this thing to his sworn brother Tuoba Yilu's son Tuoba Liuxiu.
Liuxiu found Xing Yan again, saying that you must still have this thing in your hand, and you asked for it in every possible way, but you couldn't, so you arrested Xing Yan's wife.
Xing Yan was furious and sent troops to attack Liuxiu, and Liuxiu was defeated.
The sentence was postponed and the new county was surrendered to Han.
Xinxing and Yanmen two counties are the spoils that Liu Kun took the risk of offending Wang Jun last year and expressed Tuoba Yilu as the acting father, but now Xinxing is gone, and Yanmen can't be saved.
The Xiongnu saw that there was such a good thing, so they sent troops to besiege Jinyang.
Liu Kun is a guy who can not only borrow troops from Xianbei, but also recruit Daibei Zahu, but he is "long in recruiting Huai and short in Fuyu, in one day, although thousands of people return, and those who go one after another."
To put it simply, he is famous and can attract people. But after the person came, they got along for a while, and found that Liu Kun was really not good, so he ran away again.
To put it bluntly, the ability to rule and care for the emperor is very poor, and the emotional intelligence and political quotient are not high.
Recently, he felt that the people of Jinyang were outnumbered and weak, so he sent people to sneak back to his hometown of Zhongshan to recruit people in Zhongshan and several counties in Youzhou. Wang Jun was furious, friction again, and a big fight.
This is the background of the Xiongnu's siege of Jinyang.
Liu Cong thought that Tuoba Xianbei was entangled by Wang Jun and fought endlessly, and he might not have the strength to support Liu Kun, so he planned to take it in one fell swoop.
However, I was persuaded by Liu Yingyi just now, and I felt that I was indeed too wary of Liu Yao, and last year it was frustrated in Henan, and the Chinese military force felt that it should exert its strength north of the Great River, and the main attack on Zhongzhong and Hebei could no longer disperse its forces.
Liu Cong thought so, so he beckoned, took Liu Ying and Liu E sisters in his arms, and let their four nieces kneel in front of him to serve, squinting comfortably, and finally said after a long time: "You two draw up a decree to send the generals of Zhenxi to Chang'an." ”
Liu Ying and Liu E whispered.
"Nasan." Liu Cong said again: "You all kneel down for me, and when I finish taking the medicine, then come and clean it up." ”
The decree soon left the palace full of obscene flesh and sent it to the pavilion.
A few days later, the order to redeploy troops was issued.
The situation in Guanzhong has also reached a critical moment.
