It was the deep winter of the second year, and Yuan Xiangxian felt extremely cold during the expedition in Hebei Province. The news of Wei Bojun's tragic defeat at Dawangzhuang-Jiangjun Temple, south of Yanshan Mountain, did not bring him much joy. On the contrary, it made him feel like he was falling.
Ice cave.
Because Huangfu Jun was not dead, not only Huangfu Jun, but also Cheng Gongxin, one of the "Er Gong" generals, escaped back to Weizhou alive. At the same time, more than 2,000 Wei Boya soldiers escaped. Dezhou was completely occupied by Lu Long's army.
After occupying Dezhou, the Lulong Army continued to move south, reaching Qingyang in Beizhou and Boping in Bozhou, with the potential to sweep Beizhou and Bozhou together.
The Lu Long Army going south is not what Yuan Xiangxian fears most. If the Lu Long Army wins the war, it will inevitably seek to expand its territory. This is a normal military behavior, and Yuan Xiangxian can completely understand it. The worst is to cede Beizhou to Lu Long. Yuan Xiangxian is not the first
If you do this kind of thing once, it is the land of the Hebei vassals anyway. They are fighting among themselves and have nothing to do with Xuanwu.
But Bozhou still has to find a way to get it back. Bozhou is close to Jeju, which is under the jurisdiction of Xuanwu. If Bozhou is lost, so many things he has done in Hebei will be leaked, and the prince may not be able to spare him if he finds out.
Of course, these issues will be considered later. The top priority is how to solve Huangfu Jun's problem. This is what Yuan Xiangxian is most afraid of.
After Huangfu Jun fled back to Weizhou, he issued various orders one after another: recruiting new disciples from Weizhou general families, requiring each workshop to build a set of armor ordnance, ordering Weizhou and Xiangzhou to provide food and grass to Weizhou, and he even broke the law
Weibo Town’s inherent conscription tradition—recruiting young men from other states!
For a time, the city of Weizhou was filled with tremors.
These actions seemed normal, but the guilty Yuan Xiangxian couldn't sleep all night. When he mustered up the courage to go to Huangfu Jun's house to "visit his injury," he was ruthlessly turned away.
Yuan Xiangxian was completely frightened. He felt as cold as falling into an ice cave. Every time he closed his eyes, he would think of the eyes of the Wei Boya soldiers stationed outside Huangfu Jun's mansion. The resentment and anger in their eyes seemed to make him want to
He devours it, which is frightening.
There are a thousand troops garrisoned in Weizhou in Hebei Province. These are the subordinates given to him by Zhu Quanzhong, the king of Liang. The symbolic significance is far greater than the actual significance. But what is even more ominous is that 500 of them were sent to the south by Yuan Xiangxian.
The inner yellow line is used to block Huangfu Jun's messenger. He has not returned yet.
Yuan Xiang first gathered the 100 soldiers from the headquarters of the imperial emissary into the palace, sleeping on the mat and guarding against each other day and night. There were also 400 soldiers stationed outside the city, and Wei Boya soldiers were already watching around the military camp. Now Weizhou is like a boiling water
If a splash of oil splashes into the cooking cauldron, it will immediately cause a chain reaction. Therefore, Yuan Xiang did not dare to leave the city, let alone recruit Wei Boya's soldiers outside the city into the city.
But even if the five hundred troops inside and outside the city join together, he also understands that once the incident occurs, just relying on such a small number of people to protect his family and leave Weibo smoothly is tantamount to wishful thinking. And if he escapes in advance... this is a dream.
It was quite a tempting idea. But he did not dare to do it. He fled Weizhou and seemed to be safe for the time being. But after returning to Bianzhou, how would he face the prince's anger?
As long as he escapes this disaster, Hebei will still be under his control, and the prince's plan will not fail, at least it will still be maintained on the surface... There is still a way! There must be a way! Yuan Xiangxian kept comforting himself, thinking hard to deal with it.
Do you really want to find Luo Shaowei?
Going to see Luo Shaowei was a suggestion given by his staff to Yuan Xiangxian. When he first heard this plan, Yuan Xiangxian thought it was a joke. Who is Luo Shaowei? He is the military envoy of Weibo. It is precisely because he is the military envoy of Weibo that this strategy is like a joke.
.Everyone knows that Wei Bo Jiedushi is the most famous decoration of the Tang Dynasty in the past few decades. He sounds famous, but in fact he is just a puppet.
However, when Yuan Xiang was at a loss for ideas, he had to rethink this suggestion. Finally, he decided to meet Luo Shaowei to see what the other party could do.
Wei Bo's Jiedu Mansion was not far from the headquarters of the Recruitment Envoy, only one street away. However, Yuan Xiang had been there very few times and basically would not discuss anything important with Luo Shaowei.
, he usually summoned Luo Shaowei to the summoning hall to participate, just to make up the number.
In order to avoid being discovered by Huangfu Jun, Yuan Xiang changed his clothes first, slipped out of the back door quietly at night, and only brought the staff member who had made suggestions with him, and quietly came to Jiedu Mansion. Since they had contacted him secretly before, Yuan Xiang first came to Jiedu Mansion with him.
Entering through the stable door in the garden behind the mansion, he saw the young Wei Bo Jiedushi without even noticing.
Luo Shaowei met Yuan Xiangxian in the study. He smiled and said to Yuan Xiangxian: "Why are you so late for Yuan's appointment?"
Yuan Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then he understood the meaning of the other party's words. Luo Shaowei didn't mean that he was late tonight, but that he was late on this matter! In one sentence, the two of them had a similar mind and became allies in a tacit understanding.
For Yuan Xiangxian, Luo Shaowei has always been the puppet of Wei Bo Yabing. It is very uncomfortable to play this role. He also knows that Luo Shaowei is very dissatisfied with Huangfu Jun and other Wei Bo generals, so this is a natural alliance. Since Luo Shaowei comes straight to the point
Expressing his wishes, Yuan Xiangxian did not hide it. He immediately said: "Although it is late, it is not too late. I heard that five years ago, Luo Shuai wanted to start something, but it failed for some reason. In the past two years, he has been Huangfu
Luo Shuai must hate him deeply because he is trapped by Jun."
Yuan Xiang first talked about what happened in the first year of Guanghua. At that time, Luo Shaowei had just taken over the position of Jiedushi left by his father Luo Hongxin. He was encouraged by Li Xiaoxi and prepared to regain military power. However, the incident failed. Li Xiaoxi fled Wei Bo and he himself was killed by Huangfu.
Jun and other Weibo generals completely ignored him. Even when Liu Rengong went south to conquer Weibo in the second year of Guanghua, he could only watch on the sidelines.
Yuan Xiangxian peeled off Luo Shaowei's scars and wanted to take the initiative in the conversation. Luo Shaowei also pressed on Yuan Xiangxian's sore spots: "It doesn't matter if I am already like this, but Yuan Zhaofeng needs to think carefully about how to deal with the predicament at hand. If he is not careful,
, I am deeply trapped in Weizhou, using Yuan to recruit talented people, I am afraid that the Yuan family in Bianzhou will lose a good opportunity to revitalize their family reputation. I feel that it is not worth it for the Yuan family!"
When Yuan Xiang first heard this, he understood that Luo Shaowei knew about his betrayal of Wei Bojun's combat strategy. In this case, the eldest brother left the second brother alone, and the two sat down to seriously discuss how to deal with it.
Although Wei Boya's soldiers were defeated miserably by Lu Long's army and only 2,000 remnant soldiers escaped, Weizhou was the foundation of Wei Boya's soldiers. More than half of the civilian households were generals and military households, with a total of 8,000 families. There were many people inside and outside the city.
Countless generals who have been passed down from generation to generation can regain their strength in just one month as long as they have time. If Yuan Xiangxian wants to maintain his current position, and Luo Shaowei wants to grasp the real power of Jiedu Envoy, he must take action as soon as possible.
The person Yuan Xiang first wanted to eliminate was Huangfu Jun. This was the consensus between him and Jiang Xuanhui.
What Luo Shaowei wanted to really eliminate was the entire Wei Boya army. Luo Shaowei, who had grown up in Weizhou since he was a child, understood that the Wei Bo generals all over Weizhou City and outside the city were the real obstacles to his power as the Jiedushi Envoy.
For him, Huangfu Jun has nothing to do with the overall situation. If Huangfu Jun dies, so-and-so Huangfu will be eliminated, and the Huangfu family, the Cheng family, and the Li family will be eliminated. Only by completely uprooting Wei Bo's family can the influence on him be eliminated.
threaten.
No matter what the two people's ultimate goals were, after a heart-to-heart talk, they quickly reached an agreement - to take advantage of Wei Bojun when he was at his weakest!
The two sides confessed to each other that Yuan Xiang first had a thousand Xuanwu soldiers, but they were divided into three parts. There were 100 soldiers stationed in the city, 400 soldiers stationed outside the city, and 500 soldiers inside. Luo Shaowei could control them.
There are only Luo's own descendants and servants, less than a hundred people.
Yuan Xiangxian's idea was to use the 100 people in his hands and the 100 people in Luo Shaowei's mansion to launch an attack immediately, attack Huangfujun's mansion, and kill Huangfujun at home. Then he mobilized 400 troops garrisoned outside the city to enter the city and control the city.
Gates and important street intersections to stabilize the situation.
But Luo Shaowei sneered after hearing this. He said that although Huangfu Jun could be caught by surprise, even if Huangfu Jun was killed, the situation would not get better. The reason is very simple.
General Wei Bo's strong backlash, once he does this, the only ending for the two of them is death.
Obviously, Luo Shaowei, who was from Weibo, knew the details of Weibo's generals better and was more persuasive. In the end, Huangfujun had to admit in frustration that if he did this, he was indeed seeking death.
"A certain person can recruit another five hundred people from Neihuang, but according to Jiedu, even if these five hundred people are added, it may not be enough to deter General Wei Bo... What's more, this will take time, at least three
It's only been four days... I'm afraid I can't wait any longer." Yuan Xiangxian was in a dilemma.
"The 500 people from Neihuang need to be transferred back, otherwise there will not be enough troops. In addition, in addition to these soldiers and horses, we can also use another force."
"who?"
"I wonder if the recruiting envoy has ever heard of Li Xiaoxi?" Luo Shaowei asked.
Of course Yuan Xiangxian has heard that the Youyan Security Corporation is currently responsible for the order and defense of the Shenzhou Mutual Market. This is a matter that Yuan Xiangxian and Han Yanhui have agreed on. The employment expenses will be shared between Yuan Xiangxian and Youzhou.
"Shuai Luo is saying that we pay to hire Li Xiaoxi to send troops? Will he agree to such a big thing?"
"For such a big thing, he may not be able to do it if someone else pays for it, but if someone pays for it, he will definitely come back. Five years ago, Li Xiaoxi served as someone's personal escort..."
Yuan Xiang suddenly realized, pointed at Luo Shaowei, and opened his mouth for a long time, unable to close it.
Luo Shaowei shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Back then, he had a secret discussion with a certain person and planned to help a certain person rise to power, but unfortunately it failed..."
After thinking about it for a moment, Luo Shaowei shook his head, trying to drive these thoughts out of his mind, and then said seriously: "As for time... we have to wait. The recruiter must wait patiently and keep calm. We still have time.
Huangfu Jun has only been back for three days. If he wants to take action against the rebels, he must consider the consequences. Doing so is tantamount to rebelling against the prince. At the same time, he also has to consider dealing with Lu Long's threat. In the end, Huangfu Jun cannot represent all Wei Dynasties.
Bo Jiangmen, he must seek support from all the generals. Without ten days and a half, he can't get up!"
