ps: I am on a business trip to Shunyi again today. I am really sorry. Fortunately, I found a place with Internet access and uploaded it in a hurry. I continue to thank Brother Douban for the reward, Brother Zhuang Zhou and Brother Long Tiantian, and Beautiful Little Pig for their monthly votes.
"Send troops before the end of January? Where to go? Attack Hedong? The Hedong Army is famous all over the world and is a first-class powerful army. With our current morale, it is probably difficult to win. Hmm... But we can strive to become the rear army.
, instead of going forward and fighting to the death, it is also a method to mobilize troops back in time when needed. It just needs to stabilize Yingzhou within a month, but a certain person is already doing this. At present, the hope is very good
Big..." Liu Shouguang explained to Liu Zhiwen while thinking, and his face turned pale when he said it.
Although he was very reluctant to send troops to help Xuanwu, if he had no choice but to go, it was not impossible. In his calculation, as soon as his father died, the obstacle between Youzhou and Yingzhou would be eliminated.
, Yingzhou should finally recognize its status as Lu Long’s successor, right? If we find a suitable time to return Zhou Zhiyu to Li Chengzhong, wouldn’t the relationship between the two parties be able to be eased even more?
Of course, before returning Zhou Zhiyu to Li Chengzhong, he had to do a good job of comforting him. General Zhou was so fond of his old friendship that he still refused to let go, which was also a troublesome matter. Liu Shouguang once personally went to the prison to persuade Zhou Zhiyu and wanted to let him go.
He came forward to persuade Yingzhou, but Zhou Zhiyu never gave him a good look, especially after hearing that Liu Rengong was dead, he even cursed him. Liu Shouguang wanted to wait for a while, and after Liu Rengong was buried, Zhou Zhiyu's anger subsided, presumably
It's easier.
But another piece of news that Liu Zhiwen passed on immediately made Liu Shouguang hesitate again.
Xuanwu mobilized 10,000 Lulong troops not to fight against Hedong, but to march into Chang'an!
I have to mention that this plan to invade Chang'an originated from Prime Minister Cui Yin's secret letter.
As mentioned above, at the beginning of the year, the emperor was deposed by the Zhongguan and imprisoned in Shaoyangyuan. Cui Yin trusted Zhu Quanzhong secretly and mobilized Xuanwu troops to march to Beijing to serve the king. Zhu Quanzhong immediately stopped the northern expedition, and the army marched westward to Chang'an.
Under the strong pressure of the Xuanwu Army, Cui Yin resorted to desperate measures and persuaded Sun Dezhao, the general of the Forbidden Army, to kill Liu Jishu, Wang Zhongxian and other lieutenants, and to welcome the emperor back from Shaoyang Court and return to Dabao.
It stands to reason that with such great achievements in hand, Cui Yin's life should be very smooth. This was indeed the case at first. He was a man of his word in the political affairs hall. The newly promoted princes, Wang Pu, Pei Shu, etc. all followed his lead.
, and the emperor relied heavily on him, so he lived a comfortable life for several months.
But unfortunately, Cui Yin's ideal was to kill all the eunuchs, and he disliked the new privy envoys and lieutenants. He was planning to kill these people all the time, so the oppression on them was particularly huge.
At this time, the left and right privy envoys who had just taken office were Yuan Yijian and Zhou Jinrong. The left and right Shence Army lieutenants were Han Quanhui and Zhang Yanhong. Among them, Han Quanhui, the left Shence Army lieutenant, was the most powerful. No one else, because Han Quanhui and Chang'an
Fengxiang, who is close at hand and can lead troops to the capital at any time, has the strongest relationship with Zhangyi Jiedushi and Qi Wang Li Maozhen. You know, Li Maozhen's biggest hobby in life is to lead troops to the capital to pay respects to the emperor. Or to invite the emperor to his own territory.
Drink tea.
Speaking of which, these new eunuchs who came to power were very afraid of Cui Yin. Because the previous two generations of privy councilors Song Daobi, Jing Wuxiu, Liu Jishu, Wang Zhongxian and others were all killed by Cui Yin, so they were afraid of Cui Yin.
A powerful official in the political affairs hall can be said to be submissive, but he obeys his orders. Unfortunately, he could not stop Prime Minister Cui Da from turning a deaf ear to the emperor, and plotted all day long on how to kill them.
At this time, Cui Yin thought that he had great power and was quite high-profile. The memorials to kill the eunuchs came one day at a time, without even the slightest sense of confidentiality. So the eunuchs knelt at the feet of the emperor and cried, hoping that the emperor could help them beg Prime Minister Cui for mercy.
, it is a pity that the emperor was also frightened by the middle officials, and he agreed with Cui Yin's opinion in his heart. Faced with the eunuchs' pleas, he did not express his position at all, which invisibly forced these eunuchs to a point of no return.
The eunuchs decided to join forces to resist.
The eunuchs were in control of the inner court, and they had the forbidden army in their hands, as well as foreign aid Li Maozhen. As soon as they put on a life-threatening posture, Cui Yin felt that "the national affairs were difficult." In this way, in the autumn and winter of the first year of Tianfu, the situation in Chang'an City once again
Tensions arose, and the inner court and the court were on the eve of their third drastic change in two years.
Cui Yin had no soldiers, but it was known to the whole world that he had a close relationship with King Dongping! So he repeated his old trick and once again immersed himself in writing a letter and sent a request to King Dongping Zhu Quanzhong to introduce troops to the capital.
This time Xuanwu's forces are really different compared to last year when they entered Beijing. Last year, in order to advance, Xuanwu's army had to call all the troops together and stop the war against Hedong and Hebei, so that they could force their way to the west. However, this year it is completely different.
It is necessary. While Zhu Quanzhong continued to maintain the siege of Hedong, he also had a tense confrontation with Wang Shifan, the governor of Pinglu Jiedu, in the east, and guarded against Yang Xingmi of Huainan, who had an increasingly tense relationship with him in the south. In such a situation, he could be called "evil"
"Under the situation, he actually still had the energy to respond to Prime Minister Cui's call and prepare to march into Beijing!
Facing four wars at the same time, Xuanwu's display of strength really makes people grit their teeth just thinking about it.
Of course, although the Xuanwu Army itself is strong, it is impossible to deal with four directions at the same time, so their method is to draw troops from all over. Unfortunately, Hebei is a key deployment area for the Xuanwu Army - Hebei soldiers are famous all over the world.
Yes, this is also the most important reason why Xuanwu and Hedong competed to get involved in Hebei!
This was the purpose of Xuanwu sending people to Weizhou for multi-party talks.
The multi-party talks included Xuanwu, Weibo, Lulong, Chengde, Yiwu and other towns, but the first three took the lead. Among the personnel sent by these three towns, Wei Bu faced Huangfu Jun, the leader of Wei Boya's army, and Lulong
Liu Zhiwen came from the Xuanwu side, and Yuan Xiangxian and Yang Shihou were sent from the Xuanwu side.
Luo Shaowei, the military envoy of Weibo, was present during the entire negotiation process in the name of the landlord, but no one took him seriously, including Huangfu Jun. In fact, all the military governors of Weibo for more than a hundred years were failures, not only
It was Luo Shaowei alone, in front of the powerful Wei Boya soldiers. They even farted and had to report it in advance.
The two envoys from Xuanwu were the most important decision-makers in the multi-party talks, headed by Yuan Xiangxian and assisted by Yang Shihou. But in fact, Yuan Xiangxian was more like a soy sauce character, always smiling and accepting everyone's suggestions.
Saying "It's all right", "It's all right" and "You can" seem to have similar meanings, but in fact there are fundamental differences. In short, they are just another way of saying "can be considered". Saying it means not saying it.
After much effort, Liu Zhiwen finally found out the origin of Yuan Xiangxian, the commander of both the Xuanwu Army and the Ma Bu Army. It turned out that this man was actually the nephew of King Dongping. Although this commander Yuan's official position was appalling, he did not seem to have had any real experience.
What kind of battles has the army fought? Liu Zhiwen tentatively made a "tribute" to Commander Yuan, but unexpectedly it was a great success. Commander Yuan suppressed Wei Bo with a huge "tribute", and Yiwu and Chengde returned the Lulong Army.
The occupied land of the three states.
But then Liu Zhiwen got into trouble in front of Yang Shihou, who had more say in military affairs. Yang Shihou insisted on the quota of "10,000 sergeants" and refused to let go, making Liu Zhiwen extremely helpless. Later
Yuan Xiang first revealed to him some of Yang Shihou's background. Only then did Liu Zhiwen suddenly realize.
Yang Shihou turned out to be a great ogre in the late Tang Dynasty. He was a subordinate of Li Hanzhi, the governor of Heyang. He was very dissatisfied with this commander who liked to eat living people, so he was never reused. Later, Li Hanzhi simply gave it to Li Ke as a gift.
Yong. Not long after he stayed in Hedong, he found an opportunity to escape to Bianzhou and joined the Xuanwu Army. Because he was brave and good at riding and shooting, he was appointed as Yajiang, that is, he served in front of Zhu Quanzhong's tent, but he did not lead the army.
The opportunity and status are slightly better than those of Han Xin in Xiang Yu's army, but not much better.
After several years of observation, Zhu Quanzhong was convinced of Yang Shihou's loyalty to him, so he took this opportunity to release him. As a deputy envoy, he went to Weizhou to form an army to prepare for the westward expedition to Chang'an with the army. Yang Shihou arrived in Hebei
The mission was to recruit soldiers. In addition to asking for more than a thousand Wei Boya soldiers from Huangfu Jun, he also asked for thousands of Hebei warriors from Yiwu and Chengde. His main purpose was to covet Lu Long Jianrui, so he opened his mouth.
Ten thousand people will not waver no matter what they say.
Liu Zhiwen tried hard to persuade him, and refused to accept generous gifts. Fortunately, Yuan Xiang, who was full, spoke first, so Yang Shihou reluctantly agreed to postpone the recruitment date for Lu Long Jianrui to more than a month later.
This is what happened during Liu Zhiwen's trip to Weizhou.
As soon as he heard that his sergeants were going to be transferred to the Western Expedition by Xuanwu, Liu Shouguang became speechless and didn't know how to deal with it. He didn't dare to disobey orders. After many years of continuous fighting, he had been frightened by Xuanwu's army; he obeyed.
Well, Lulong is not at peace now, and the army is still needed to stabilize the situation. Ten thousand people were sent to Chang'an, and none of them could not come back in a year and a half. This period is the critical moment when Yingzhou is about to "submit". I still have
We have to rely on the army to show our muscles to Yingzhou and continue to put pressure.
Liu Zhiwen was very aware of Liu Shouguang's embarrassment, so after listening to Liu Shouguang's self-comforting words, saying that he had great hope that he could stabilize Yingzhou, the anger he had just suppressed surged up again: "Commander, I don't know what the commander means.
Now that Youzhou is in danger, why does the commander think that the situation is good? I originally fought for more than a month to provide a buffer, but now it seems that Yingzhou will rebel!"
Liu Shouguang was stunned: "Why did the servant say that?"
Liu Zhiwen said anxiously: "How did the prince pass away? I will not investigate the fault, but now the war is about to begin, and the commander-in-chief is not aware of it. How can he not make people anxious?"
Liu Shouguang said with a smile: "My servant is too worried. After the death of the old prince, only one of you will stay in Youzhou, and Yingzhou will be bowed down soon!"
Liu Zhiwen said angrily: "Who came from this theory? The commander-in-chief actually believed it? There are villains around the commander-in-chief, and the commander-in-chief must be aware of it, otherwise the consequences will be endless!"
Liu Shouguang explained: "Didn't we send Liu Shanxi to Pingzhou? He has already talked with Yingzhou, and Yingzhou General Han Yanhui accidentally mentioned this matter. The old prince is kind to the governor of Yingzhou. If the old prince is still there,
, it is inconvenient for the governor of Yingzhou to submit to someone, so..."
Liu Zhiwen was stunned when he heard this. When Liu Shouguang finished speaking with some satisfaction, he couldn't help but lamented: "Liu Shanxi, Shuzi, missed a big event + Yanhui, a traitor, what a sinister intention! The commander-in-chief fell into this counter-intuitive plan, and the commander-in-chief has lost his justice.
, From now on, Youzhou has lost a barrier!"
Liu Shouguang touched the back of his head and said in surprise: "Why is this so?"
Liu Zhiwen was angry that he wouldn't argue, so he didn't bother to say anything more and just walked away.
Liu Shouguang was puzzled. Looking at Liu Zhiwen who was leaving angrily, he felt annoyed and snorted loudly, "You rude person!"
