"The plains of Ye are thousands of miles away, and canals and canals are connected in all directions." Shi Le suddenly felt a little emotional on the bronze bird stage.
He looked towards Linyuan in Yexi.
Someone once told him that after the capital city of Ye, he could build a palace in the garden. In the hot summer, he could escape the heat and enjoy the cool scenery while enjoying the magnificent scenery of Zhangshui River.
He deeply believed this, but the time was not yet ripe and he did not want to waste too much people's energy, so he gave up.
Of course, some people say that Ye is not a place where people have lived for a long time. Since Ximen Bao ruled Ye, it has been a rich and prosperous place known all over the world. Along with the fertile fields of Hebei, thousands of miles away, many people live in Yin. The success of Han Guang's military use was relied on by Yuan Benchu ​​to resist
Cao is actually a first-class wealthy place. It is easy for people to indulge in wealth and luxury, and gradually lose their enterprising spirit.
The wealth of the country leads to extravagance, and rapid success and failure are not just words.
But these may have nothing to do with him!
There are some things that are worth a quick glance.
Unknowingly, Shi Le also recognized the reality, and he could only let it go if he could afford it.
Of course, recognizing the reality is one thing, but it does not mean that he is willing, let alone that he can do whatever he wants. Even Shao Xun, who has the upper hand, cannot do whatever he wants.
Some battles still have to be fought.
"Meng Sun, how's the fight going in Bingzhou?" Shi Le calmed down and asked calmly after looking at the scenery.
"The two sides fought three battles at the gates of Jinyang City, Langu, and Guanjuejin. Xianbei did not gain any advantage and was ready to retreat," Zhang Bin replied.
Shi Le said "Huh" and said with a smile: "Look, as soon as I asked Meng Sun, there was good news."
"Your Majesty, if there is any good news, please share it with me." Zhang Jing joked.
"Haha." Shi Le tapped Zhang Jing from a distance with his hand, then put it behind his back, took two steps calmly, and said: "News has come back from Pingyang, and the emperor canonized my son as the heir apparent of the Shangdang..."
Having said this, he stood with his hands behind his hands and his back to everyone. In an instant, it seemed as if all his energy and energy had gathered together.
"Doesn't this mean that the emperor and his party conferred the kingdom on behalf of the king?" Zhang Jing said hesitantly.
Shi Le turned around and nodded with a smile.
When the generals heard this, they looked a little excited.
Zhang Bin lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, saying nothing.
This matter was actually decided at the beginning of the month, but Dahu kept it secret.
He is the Ping Jin King of the Han Dynasty. In the past, he had an empty title and had nothing. But now it is different. Shangdang County is a feudal state. This is a standard earth-breaking king.
Of course, Shangdang County has basically been under Dahu's sphere of influence for a long time. There are not many Jin people in the area, and the Jie people and Wuhuan are all Dahu people. Granting this place to Dahu is just an acknowledgment of a fait accompli.
But if you want to say it has no effect at all, that’s not right.
This is an attitude that shows that the imperial court trusts Da Hu and relies heavily on him, making him a pillar of the country.
This is not difficult to think of.
Zhang Bin can think of it, and others can understand it too.
Da Hu threw out this news at this time, actually just to calm people's hearts: Don't panic, the imperial court will come to save us.
Unconsciously, everyone has gradually changed from tacitly following Dahu and establishing an independent force as their goal to relying on Pingyang and maintaining survival as their primary goal.
What is this? This is the destruction of the heart.
What is even more incomprehensible is that everyone in Yecheng seems to have accepted this fact calmly. This makes Zhang Bin feel that the upper limit of their military and political group has actually been locked, and there is no future left - unless there is a big change.
As a ruler, it is difficult for a good minister to help him.
As a minister, unless you are a wise king, it will be difficult for you to show your talents.
The king and his ministers get along with each other, just like the harmony of yin and yang, the present and the past are one and the same, and they inherit the law.
The generals and subordinates under Da Hu's tent originally seemed to have quite good abilities, but now we see that they are all just ordinary people, not good ministers who can assist a generation of kings and break the world.
He already regrets it.
The king chooses his ministers, and the ministers also choose their king. In troubled times, there is really no certainty about who is the true God, and he is still not good at learning.
But there are not many people who are willing to take Hebei as the base.
There was Sima Ying in front of him, but he ruined his great advantage.
Later, there were Gongshi Fan, Ji Sang, Shi Chao, Sima Mo, Sima Teng and others, who rose up and perished. During this period, he had been watching with cold eyes and did not act rashly. Finally, he bet on the gem...
But, no matter what, after all, I was not good at studying and my vision was poor. The picture in my mind was not big enough. I was too attached to a corner of Hebei and did not look across Kyushu and carefully observe the heroes of the world.
Taobao stood among the generals and secretly observed Zhang Bin.
There is actually nothing to discuss in the military meeting. The morale of the military is so low, what can be done?
Da Hu mentioned that there would be reinforcements from the Pingyang court, but Tao Bao only believed half of it.
To put it bluntly, even if this is true, is it too late?
We have been fighting with Tuoba Xianbei in Jinyang for almost two months. Even if they leave now, do you want to replenish supplies and rest the troops? Yecheng cannot wait for a moment, unless Dahu is willing to risk being besieged.
, and held on until the moment the food ran out, but judging from the current situation, Dahu was unwilling to take this road.
Although he was a rogue, he still had a sense of style and was unwilling to die in such a useless way.
After listening for a while, he already understood: Da Hu decided to fight Shao Xun to the death.
He had nothing to say about this.
Just fight. Anyway, all the troops that can be fought are in the hands of Da Hu. As the prefect of Wei County, he only has five or six thousand men, half of them are county soldiers, and half of them are temporarily recruited men. In a battle of this level
, it is actually of no use.
What he is more worried about now is the future.
The words my beloved concubine said still ring in my ears.
The childish child who was babbling smiled at him every day. He felt that he was not as hard-hearted as when he followed Da Hu in the early years. After he had a wife and children, and became rich, he became even more reluctant to give up.
When he thought about losing the war and losing his family, he felt so uncomfortable that he couldn't eat.
Just now, he was distracted again. He was sweating profusely when he remembered that if the city was defeated and his young child was beheaded, he looked at Zhang Bin subconsciously.
Zhang Bin was very silent, and nothing could be seen on his face. He hid his thoughts very well, but Tao Bao had an intuition that this man no longer wanted to make suggestions for Da Hu.
"Old guy, you just can't be trusted!" Tao Bao complained secretly in his heart.
There was a "swipe" sound in my ears.
Tao Bao was startled and looked up, only to see Da Hu pull out the sword from his waist. After scanning the crowd, he said: "He who is helped by God must first help himself. If you are defeated repeatedly, reinforcements from the imperial court will come.
He won't take us lightly either. I have made up my mind to go out of the city and fight against the Shao thieves. You don't need to say much, just follow orders and act."
Everyone hesitated for a moment and then said one after another: "Yes."
Shi Le looked at everyone again, said no more, and went back to his home.
His family members have been taken to Santai and live in the palace next to the jade well. When they returned home, his wife Liu and his concubine Cheng came forward to salute.
"I heard that your husband is going out of the city to fight with Shao Xun?" Ms. Liu asked.
Shi Le nodded, not surprised why his wife knew about this.
In fact, as the daughter of the chieftain of Shangdang Jie tribe, Liu was "beautiful", but she did not serve others with sex. Instead, she often assisted Shi Le in handling major military and political affairs, made suggestions, and played a key role.
Shi Le was very miserable when he was young and didn't even have a wife. After being sold as a slave, he couldn't even talk about marrying a wife. It was only when he took refuge with Liu Yuan that he slowly stabilized, and he was able to marry a wife.
, it’s only been a few years now.
So far he has only two sons. The eldest son, Shi Xing, is born to the Liu family and is six years old this year.
The second son, Shi Hong, was just born this year. His mother was Cheng Xia, the sister of Cheng Xia from Jin Dynasty. She was Shi Le's concubine after he settled in Hebei.
He has fewer children than Shao Xun, and now he is being stared at and beaten by Shao Xun, not to mention how miserable it is.
Mrs. Liu was born in the Shangdang Jie tribe. She was of the same type as Le. She was courageous and good at bowing, horse riding and shooting. She was not a delicate beauty in the boudoir.
Theoretically speaking, Shi Le was able to start a business because the Liu family was the original shareholder and contributed a lot. At least many of the large black Jie cavalry came from the Liu family.
According to grassland customs, men go on war expeditions while women guard the home. The Liu family is not a light-saving lamp either.
Although Shi Le discussed many matters with his generals, after returning home, he would go over it with Liu again to see if there were any omissions.
Historically, when the former Zhao Dynasty was conquered, the Liu family actively made plans, with a very large-scale and ambitious plan - "Liu family has courage and strategy, and Le every time participates in military decisions with him, and Zuo Le makes achievements, he has the style of Empress Lu, and is not jealous."
Of."
When staying at the rear, the Liu family was also very qualified - "Zhang Pi rebelled against Xiangcheng, and the Liu family drew his sword and killed him, and tied him up to save him."
Even after Shi Le's death, she still refused to admit defeat - "Shi Hu was monopolizing power, and the Liu family planned to recruit troops to attack him, but the incident was revealed and he was killed by Shi Hu."
This woman is not simple.
Seeing Shi Le nodding at this time, Liu still nodded despite being worried and said: "There are still some treasures and treasures in the house. My husband can just take them out, evaluate them, reward the soldiers, and encourage them to fight bravely."
"Madam is really a good wife." Shi Le sighed.
When it comes to this position, many generals and generals are hard-pressed to give up their wealth. He has hinted many times but is unwilling to pay to reward the sergeants. He is actually not as decisive as a woman!
After sighing, he saw that the lady was still wearing prairie-style braids, and subconsciously reached out to pick them up, then stroked her face.
Mrs. Liu avoided her and warned her: "Husband, how can you behave like a child in this critical time of life and death? Men should be roaming the world with swords. When great achievements are accomplished, what kind of woman cannot be obtained?"
Shi Le was actually silenced by her training.
Mrs. Liu added: "Once the wolf king on the grassland shows signs of fatigue, he will soon be replaced. I have long heard that Shao Xun indulges in women. I originally looked down on such a person. But now he has troops stationed in Ye,
The sound of the roaring mountains and the tsunami can be clearly heard even in the depths of the harem. This is what a real man does. If a husband wants to turn defeat into victory, he should abandon distracting thoughts, fight bravely, and fight with all his strength. Only in this way can there be a chance of survival.
"
After saying that, he waved his hand to Cheng and others to leave.
Shi Le was silent for a moment and then said with a smile: "Madam is right."
Mrs. Liu sat down opposite Shi Le again and asked with concern: "Inviting a battle under the city has both advantages and disadvantages. If the war goes unfavorably, others may take advantage of it and compete for the city gate. Do you have a comprehensive strategy?"
"Wang Yang is in charge of city defense. He is mature and prudent. I have taken care of him," Shi Le said.
"How to fight the decisive battle?" Liu asked again.
"We can't rely on the infantry." Only in front of his family would Shi Le tell the truth: "We can only rely on the hard work of the cavalry."
Mr. Liu nodded and said, "I will give them some advice."
Shi Le made up his mind and said: "With the help of my wife, my chances of winning are even better."
He loves and hates the influence of his wife clan.
What I love is that it is easy to use and they work harder. After all, everyone will be prosperous and everyone will suffer.
What he hates is that he is too powerful and threatens his core position, so he has been secretly suppressing him in the past few years, and military power has always been in the hands of the "Eighteen Cavalry" who first followed him.
When he started his career, he had nothing, so he relied on Liu Han's tiger skin, his eloquent words to persuade the Wuhuan people to join the group, and obtained official positions, and then used this to win over other tribes. After marrying a wife, he received strong sponsorship from the Liu family, and finally had a core army.
Ma, but after so many years of fighting in the south and the north, although Liu's people have been suppressed many times and have not been able to climb to a high position, there are a large number of their people among the middle-level generals.
He originally wanted to spend time slowly rectifying and cleaning up, but Shao Xun knocked on the door, but it was not appropriate to move lightly.
At this time, his wife actually had to come out to say hello, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
But if you think about it from another angle, Shao Xun also made his fortune through women, and they all rely on each other.
In the next two days, Shi Le took out his valuables and rewarded the soldiers, which boosted the morale of the soldiers.
On the 26th, he ordered the people's livestock to be collected, and a group of old and weak horses and donkeys were slaughtered for a feast for the entire army.
After doing all this, on the 27th, he ordered 30,000 infantry troops and 10,000 elite cavalry, and went out of the city to form an array in the wilderness.
The Jin army, which was building siege equipment, was also unambiguous.
Early in the morning, the drums were beating loudly, and the Silver Spear Army, the Yi Cong Army, the Fu Army, and the Nanyang Army all came out. More than 30,000 people on foot and cavalry lined up in formation facing the soldiers and horses of Yecheng.
The war is today.
Chapter completed!
