The letter was quickly presented.
Shao Xun took out the letter, opened it, read it, and said with a smile, "Liu Yao set a trap for me in response to Liu Cong's order."
After saying that, he handed it to Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi took it curiously. It was nothing at first, but when he saw Liu Cong and Shao Xun, one person was "Emperor in the West" and the other was "Emperor in the East". When the two emperors stood side by side, he raised his eyebrows.
"Where did this letter come from?" he asked.
"Liu Yao sent his cavalry to Shexian, Wu'an, Anyang, Linli and other places. He shot arrows into the city and many people lost them," Shao Xun said.
"Isn't that known to everyone?" Lu Zhi cried out.
"Of course everyone knows it," Shao Xun said.
With so many places and hundreds of messages sent, it is impossible to intercept them all. The news will definitely spread.
The letter made it very clear that the two sides could "meet an alliance" in Shexian County, withdraw their troops, and establish the two emperors of the east and west side by side.
The letter also mentioned that after hearing that Shile's wife had been captured, Liu Cong took his daughter as his wife. If Shao Xun could stop fighting and end the war, Liu Cong would marry his sister to him, and the two parties would forever form an alliance.
This is of course nonsense.
It was impossible for the Xiongnu to allow him to hold Hebei comfortably, and they would definitely harass him repeatedly, causing the situation in Hebei to continue to be unstable. People's hearts would not be stable, and they would not be able to mobilize their power.
The coexistence of two emperors would only increase his political and moral burden and create some trouble for him.
When the Emperor of Luoyang learned about this, he might panic.
When scholars all over the world heard this, no matter whether he came to seek refuge or not, there would always be subtle changes in their hearts.
His enemies or potential competitors will also make a fuss about this, increasing his image of greatness and uprightness, and laying the foundation for his next move in the future.
boring!
"Ming Gong, this matter needs to be treated with caution. If someone copies it to Luoyang, he will fall into his treacherous plan." Lu Zhi said.
"What will happen to the emperor?" Shao Xun stood up, waved the messenger away, and then asked.
Lu Zhi thought for a while and said: "The emperor will definitely panic. I don't know what will happen. If it doesn't work, let the general who comes up this month scare him?"
Shao Xun suddenly laughed.
Among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Lu Zhi was probably one of the most rude people to the emperor. He always threatened and made bad remarks. Historians recorded it in the actual records, but thousands of years later, no one knows what future generations will think of it.
But he didn't seem to care much.
"Whatever the emperor loves, so be it." Shao Xun said helplessly, "I just won't provoke him."
When Lu Zhi heard this, he immediately asked: "Ming Gong wants to build a domineering mansion?"
Shao Xun asked tentatively: "If I build a Bafu, is it feasible?"
Lu Zhi frowned and thought, while Shao Xun waited patiently.
After waiting for a long time, Lu Zhi shook his head and said, "I don't know either."
Shao Xun was speechless.
But he also knew that what Lu Zhi said was true. Everyone knew that he, Shao, defeated Shi Le and captured Yecheng. Eleven counties in Hebei came to annex one after another, which was a great contribution. But can this contribution support him in establishing the Bafu?
neither knows.
"If it doesn't work, let's give it a try." Lu Zhi came up with an idea.
"What kind of heuristic?"
"Ming Gong can spread the word to the world, boast about his martial arts, and list his martial arts. Then he will find a few people to start boasting and attract everyone's attention. When the time is right, Wang Yifu can come forward..." Lu Zhi said carefully.
This is what he is good at, packaging characters.
"A message?"
"Just in time for this matter, respond to Liu Cong and Liu Yao, and let the world see it at the same time." Lu Zhi thought.
Shao Xun walked around the room with his hands behind his back, thinking quietly.
Lu Zhi and Lu Zhi looked at each other, their drunkenness disappeared, and their expressions became a little excited.
When he attacked Yecheng a few months ago, Chen Gong mentioned in public that "Mountains and rivers share eternity, and barbarians and Xia are safe", which already made the world's knowledgeable people understand his ambition. This time, if we take the opportunity of responding to the Xiongnu to further improve ourselves,
The influence is really great, and it is also a rare opportunity to test everyone's reaction.
"That's alright." Shao Xun paused and said, "Maybe Zidao can write a message for me?"
"Yes." Lu Zhi agreed directly.
Shao Xun clapped his hands, and some soldiers came up to inquire. After a while, they brought in desks, pens, ink, paper and inkstones.
"I heard that those who serve the great authority of heaven and earth must obey the will of heaven; those who are favored by the ancestors of the Lotus family must obey human sentiments."
"Liu Cong was originally a subordinate of the Ying Mansion. During his performance of duty, he pretended to be sincere; after he left office, he betrayed his kindness and committed rebellion."
"In the battle of Changping, kill my pillars; in the battle of Dayang, kill my soldiers."
"The common people of Li have been trapped in cruelty for a long time; the young and old in the army are sad and unable to return."
"Between the emperor and the emperor, he killed his brother to usurp the throne; within the palace, he raped his mother."
"This is called doing something against one's nature and being righteous beyond human ethics!"
Having said this, Shao Xun paused and waited for Lu Zhi to finish writing.
Lu Yan looked on stupidly at the side. Chen Gong started to scold people, one after another, specifically to expose people's scars, so cruel!
Liu Cong's murder of his brother Liu He was indeed an act of rebellion.
He also took in his aunt, Empress Shan, and finally forced her to commit suicide.
These are all his unspeakable scandals. If they are exposed at this time, Liu Cong will not be allowed to jump?
Lu Zhi finished writing it quickly, and then thought about how to polish and perfect it to form a complete article.
Over there, Shao Xun began to speak again: "Shi Le was born as a Jie slave. He grew up in the green forest. He has a wolf-like nature and is treacherous."
"He raised a large army to plunder Henan and unleashed cruelty on the countryside; he sent soldiers to wreak havoc in Hebei and unleashed brutality on the cities."
"If you lose your wife before the third month of the month, don't get married; if you abandon your mother and travel over a thousand miles, don't take care of her in the morning and evening."
"This is called disloyalty, unfilial piety, and heartbreaking!"
Lu Zhi took advantage of his drunkenness and kept writing. Not only did he write down all what Shao Xun said, but he also expanded it a lot.
Lu Yan almost laughed out loud.
Didn't you arrest Shi Le's wife? Why are you still talking about her marrying the Liu clan's daughter?
Shi Le's mother was in Shangdang and could not carry her there before she could fulfill her filial piety.
Mr. Chen has a very venomous mouth. He first talks about Shi Le's early years as a horse thief, and then mentions how he looted Henan and burned down mulberry forests and orchards. What should be mentioned later is that the Jie people plundered the cities of Hebei, and Shi Le could not
Totally forbidden things.
"Liu Yao..." Shao Xun continued to "swear".
Lu Zhi, his grandfather and grandson, concentrated their attention on each other, one writing and the other listening.
"...Since the Northern Expedition, we have faced each other with flags and drums, and cities have been connected."
"Beside the Huan River, there are attacks from both inside and outside, and the murderers are clinging to the city."
"Under the city of Ye, everything is destroyed, and wolves are running away in the grass."
"The Er flag points to Anping, the strong wall is opened, the three armies fight bravely, and the evil atmosphere is gone."
"Master Chen in the wilderness will definitely be punished for his crimes. Fighting rebellion with righteousness will not stop at the edge of the blade?"
"I examine my mind during the day and examine myself at night. I know that although the Xiongnu have been frequently destroyed, beacons and fires still exist; even if the river and Luo are quiet for a while, the chariots and writings have not been mixed."
After saying this, Shao Xun paused for a long time.
Lu Zhi and Lu Zhi were puzzled at first, and then they thought of something and almost got goosebumps.
"The road of the former Qin Dynasty disappeared, and the lost deer was difficult to chase. The political affairs of the later Han Dynasty were dispersed, and the sight of the darkness stopped."
"How can we give up half-way to defeat the enemy and rejuvenate the country and establish a name that will be passed down to the world? Today we have raised 500,000 troops from Henan to quell the demonic atmosphere in She County and destroy the owl jackals in Ji County."
"If you don't accomplish extraordinary feats, how can you accept the rewards of superior promotion? Use this proclamation to announce it to China and foreign countries, so that your envoys will know about it."
"That's all. Please ask Zidao to polish and supplement it for me." Shao Xun cupped his hands and said.
Lu Zhi stood up and returned the greeting, smiling and saying: "Ming Gong really wants to write like this?"
"Write it." Shao Xun said: "Now that the matter has come to this, what can you do to me? The emperor has not rewarded me for the previous attack on Ye. There should be an explanation for this time of driving away Liu Yao."
"Okay." Lu Zhi didn't hesitate. After sitting down, his thoughts surged and his writing seemed to be full of energy. In an instant, he had finished writing an essay and handed it over to Shao Xun for review.
Shao Xun took it, looked at it carefully three times, and said, "Yes."
That's it.
If the last time I was outside Yecheng was to promote my inner ambition, this time I went a step further.
Especially the last paragraph makes people think about it for a long time.
It is true that the entire appeal is still written from the perspective of a courtier, with the purpose of "defeating rebellion and rejuvenating the country", "making a name for the world", "achieving extraordinary achievements", and "receiving the reward of superior promotion".
But using allusions from the late Qin and late Han Dynasty, the meaning is different, and you will understand it naturally.
Especially since Cao Mengde's incident has only happened less than a hundred years ago, people are particularly sensitive and pay special attention to these things - well, their acceptance is also higher. After all, the Jin Dynasty was only fifty years old. Do they really have so many people's hearts?
This time is just a trial, part of the process of boiling the frog in warm water.
Shao Xun will decide the next step based on everyone's reaction.
After finishing the letter, he discussed Hebei's defense arrangements with Lu Zhi.
At this time, outside Santai in Yecheng, the army had begun to change defenses.
After experiencing the war, the Nanyang soldiers, the Tuntian army, and Luonan Dingzhuang began to return southward, taking more than 30,000 Hu Han people redeemed by Anping to Runan.
Shao Xun has asked Yu Wenjun to select capable people, exchange part of the land based on her dowry, build a very large manor, and try to accommodate more than 30,000 people.
From now on, these people will be his tribe of villagers. They will plow and herd in Runan, harvest their wealth, and have the opportunity to become private households in the future.
The Kansai soldiers are not able to return home for the time being, because quite a few of them are still fighting the enemy and have to wait until Liu Yao is driven away before they can leave.
There were a total of 30,000 people to replace them. Except for some soldiers and their tribes from the three counties of Puyang, Dongping and Gaoping, most of the rest were Wubao Dingzhuang from Henan and Yanzhou.
This is what Shao Xun wants to discuss with Lu Zhi.
From now until next year and the year after that, tens of thousands of Henan sergeants will take turns guarding Hebei, but not all places will be stationed.
Shao Xunhui will focus on the five counties of Ji, Wei, Dunqiu, Guangping, and Anping among the eleven counties in Hebei that have been occupied so far, especially Wei and Guangping. Shi Le once allocated a large amount of land. The foundation is very good and is suitable for basic management.
.
The three counties of Ji, Dunqiu, and Anping have experienced wars many times, and there are many unclaimed lands in the area. If there is spare capacity in the future, it can also be used as the second batch of basic units.
Troops are mainly stationed in these places.
Since the remaining counties and counties have been appointed, you can figure out your own solutions.
In this matter, Lu Zhi and Yu Chen must work together to ensure that all counties and towns have their troops and horses trained and have a certain ability to defend themselves.
If there is a war with the Huns next year, Shao Xun will also see their troops.
Of course, he was also mentally prepared if someone disobeyed, and he would just hit him, and there was nothing more to say.
On October 25, more than 4,000 cavalry in the vanguard of the Yi Congjun set out from Yecheng and headed towards Wu'an and Gushan.
Shao Xun began to organize the newly arrived infantry, as well as the powerful soldiers and horses from Hebei who arrived one after another. Two days later, he set off to attack Shexian County.
