Chapter five hundred and seventy-ninth situation is in danger
"Qi Huan first made great contributions to the victory of Zhou Dynasty, but later he committed crimes. A gentleman will make up for his mistakes with his merits." [Han Ji·Yuan Emperor Ji]
"Fu Gui also likes female workers, and his temperament is somewhat similar to yours." The emperor said bluntly, unfolding his sleeves for the other party to see. The fine stitch patterns made Zhen Ji pay attention for a while: "Wait until we return to Chang'an.
Finally, you may have something to talk about between you."
Zhen Ji's eyes flashed, she stared at the emperor seriously for a while, and nodded lightly. Although her intuition calmed her down, she still couldn't help but think about how the emperor could make the emperor reluctant to replace a regular uniform after it was worn out.
, how much does he care about such a person? Zhen Ji had fantasized about her future husband countless times. Until she met the emperor, she decided that there was no one more suitable than him in the world, but the man in front of her didn't seem to care about her.
She regarded it as the most important, which made her feel a little frustrated.
Soon, Zhen Ji found a new topic. The two talked about poetry and poetry, and from poetry and poetry to calligraphy. It was rare for two people who met for the first time to have so many similar interests. Zhen Ji suddenly felt something in her heart.
She was indescribably happy, because she could easily tell from the surprised and delighted look on the other side's face that apart from her female worker and personality, the Fugui man seemed unable to resonate with the emperor in other aspects.
The two chatted happily. The emperor had not spoken so much to a woman for a long time. When he was in the middle of the conversation, Mu Shun suddenly knelt down outside the palace door and reported at an inappropriate time: "Your Majesty, there is military information.
Urgent report, Mr. Xun, Mr. Jia and others are already waiting in the main hall."
The emperor frowned slightly, and without saying anything or leaving a word, he stood up and left.
When they arrived at the main hall, Xun You, Jia Xu and others came forward to greet them. When the emperor saw that they had all arrived, his face became more solemn and he asked: "Did Yuan Xi from Youzhou go south, or did Yuan Shao lead his troops out of Nanpi?"
"This is a memorial from Chang'an. Your Majesty, please go and read it first." Huangmen Shilang Lai Min presented a memorial with both hands.
The emperor glanced at Lai Min's worried expression, and took the memorial with an expressionless face. This was the memorial submitted by Hussar General Huangfu Songyuan in Guanzhong. The content was short, but the words were shocking. Huangfu Song first explained the situation, and that he was in Guanzhong.
After Han Sui rebelled, he received an imperial edict and led nearly 20,000 troops and horses into Chencang to defend the enemy together with Zhang Ji, Xu Rong and other generals. Initially, the progress was relatively smooth, but the bandits not only failed to disrupt Guanzhong, but also failed to capture Ji.
city.
However, after a winter, Pingdi General Ma Teng suddenly rebelled against Han Sui's temptation. Huangfu Song lost his guard and had to lead his troops to retreat to Yi County. However, Chencang changed hands, which undoubtedly opened the door for Han Sui.
A passage bypassing Jicheng and reaching Guanzhong. Han Sui immediately responded to Ma Teng's east and west, gathered tens of thousands of Han and Qiang troops and went straight into Guanzhong, as if entering an uninhabited land. At this time, Sanfu was shaken, Yongliang was shaken, and even Wang
Bin also convulsed on the spot after hearing the news. When he woke up, he immediately sent a letter along the post road to report to the emperor, and wanted to personally lead the troops to guard Chang'an.
The emperor's face was ashen, and he pinched the thin memorial with his long and strong fingers. After a long while, he loudly uttered half a sentence: "He really dares to..."
"Guanzhong is worried. Your Majesty should urgently order Huangfu Gong to reorganize his troops and join forces with Zhang Ji, Xu Rong, Gaishun and other troops to attack together. They must not take a step past Yi County." Huangmen Shilang's reinforcements were Huangfu Song's.
My son-in-law, now that his father-in-law is in danger, he should speak out to protect him both publicly and privately: "Although Ma Teng rebelled, fortunately, the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong were not damaged, and his strength is still there. If there is a slight setback, the situation can still be dealt with."
room."
"Huangfu Song ruined important affairs of our court and should be severely punished!" On the other side, Huangmen Shilang Zhongji expressed his point of view righteously, and then said: "It's just the generals in Guanzhong who have outstanding prestige when it comes to military formations and can convince everyone.
There is only one general, Huangfu Song. Now the army is far away in Hebei, thousands of miles away, and it is difficult to rescue him. Instead of replacing generals and commanders, it is better to make them accept their guilt and fight again to stimulate their efforts."
In this case, no matter which party it was, or for what purpose, their actions were all trying to find ways to recover the losses. When the emperor saw this, he felt that they had the same hatred, and the anger in his heart could not help but feel much less.
He knew that these people still supported the defeated Huangfu Song, and there were only a few reasons. First, apart from Huangfu Song, there was indeed no suitable replacement in Guanzhong, and the troops in Guandong were unable to solve the urgent needs for the time being; second, if they failed to protect themselves,
Huangfu Song, then Dong Cheng, who had just calmed down, would stand up again. If nothing else happened, Dong Cheng's memorial to impeach Huangfu Song and plead for his life had already been sent to the emperor's desk.
Their attitude of supporting Huangfu Song was exactly opposite to their silent attitude towards Liu Yu who was also defeated a few days ago.
"Liu Gong doesn't know about military affairs. Although he was bullied by his juniors in Youzhou, it's hard for him to reach this point." The emperor slowly put down the memorial like a heavy stone. He breathed a sigh of relief and his expression was not serious.
How solemn and anxious: "Compared with Huangfu Song, a veteran general in the army who has been famous for a long time, it is really unexpected that he would lose troops and generals."
"His Majesty……"
"Your Majesty..." Everyone under his command spoke one after another, all trying to persuade the emperor to let Huangfu Song perform meritorious service and not to change his command easily in the face of battle.
The emperor finally sighed and said: "Huangfu Song had no choice but to punish him, but since he was an employee nowadays, he had made great contributions to the court, so he was granted permission to punish his crimes and perform meritorious service, and only reduced the number of households and towns as a warning to others. I only advise him to learn his shame."
Be almost brave, fight hard to defeat the enemy, don’t lose your old age again.”
Sheyuan breathed a sigh of relief, knelt down gratefully and said thanks, "Your Majesty Ruijian!"
"Although I have not changed my previous order, I still entrust Huangfu Song to supervise the military affairs in Guanzhong. However, this battle is very important. Our army is far away in Hebei, but we cannot sit back and watch indifferently." The emperor moved to the couch and sat down, looking down.
Xiang Sheyuan: "It's up to you to return to Guanzhong to deliver the edict, convey my meaning word for word, and encourage them to fight for their lives... Let's go down for the time being."
At this point, the emperor waved his hand and asked everyone to retreat. According to the usual practice, two confidants, Xun You and Jia Xu, were left behind. This time, because the matters to be discussed were extremely confidential matters, even Zhuge Liang, who had been allowed to observe in the past, was not left behind.
Down.
"Lian Po is old. Maybe he has been with the young people around him for a long time, and his actions are a bit bolder than when he was young. He wants to invite you to enter the urn and solve the Qiang problem in one fell swoop. If I were someone else, I might not believe this, but he is different.
." At this point, no matter how worried the emperor was, he could only put it in his heart. After all, it was not that he had not thought about such a deviant approach with Jia Xu at the beginning, but he did not expect that Huangfu Song would really dare to do this: "He is Huangfu.
Song."
Since Huangfu Song had told him the whole story in secret and made a series of careful arrangements, the emperor now had no choice but to support him to the end.
"Huangfu Song must not have the desire to fight quickly, but at least they have not confused their minds. According to the military newspaper, whether he responded to the enemy in Chencang last winter or Ma Teng's 'rebellion' now, the entire army retreated safely
Xi County has rules and regulations to follow and complete thoughts. It can be seen that he has calculations in his heart. Although he wants to end the Qiang plague forever, he does not waste the war." Jia Xu said softly, he was actually the mastermind behind this military adventure.
one.
In the eyes of outsiders, it was just Huangfu Song who believed in a villain, which caused Ma Teng to change repeatedly and ruined the event; in the eyes of Huangfu Song and others, this military adventure was their own doing, and the consequences and responsibilities were borne by them;
However, among the current monarchs and ministers, Jia Xu also contributed a lot to the arrangement of the situation in Yongliang.
In other words, if Jia Xu hadn't suggested that the emperor use Xu Rong, Gaishun and others' subordinates to form an invisible restraint and advantage over Han Sui, Huangfu Song might not have had the courage to risk his troops and make Ma Teng surrender.
The price will lure the enemy deeper.
However, Jia Xu raised another objection at this time and did not put all his hopes on Huangfu Song alone: "Huangfu Song only has more than 10,000 troops left. If he is not careful, Xu Rong, Zhang Ji and other troops will chase him."
If it comes late and shakes the foundation of the three auxiliaries, it will not be able to atone for its sins! Now that Bingzhou is empty, Duan Xuan alone may not be able to overwhelm the Xianbei, Wuhuan and other tribes. It is better to mobilize troops quickly, one to guard Bingzhou and protect the three auxiliaries.
On the north side, we can support Huangfu Song at any time, so as not to make it difficult for him to use troops."
Xun You pondered for a moment and then said: "The two generals Zhang Liao and Fan Chou are closest to Bingzhou, so they can enter Huguan nearby and return to Bingzhou."
The emperor shook his head and said in denial: "Zhang Liao has been ordered to go north to Youzhou on a certain day and is not allowed to be transferred again. As for Fan Chou... I have heard a lot of things recently, all about him. This person should not be taken lightly.
Leave."
If Zhang Liao and Fan Chou can't do it, then only Liu Yu's prestige is enough to defend Bingzhou, which will allow him to follow Huangfu Song's example to offset his merits and get out of the shadow of the defeat in Youzhou. However, since Liu Yu's defeat, he immediately
He was deprived of military power by the emperor. Although he was not punished, he would no longer be reused in the short term.
Now Liu Yu is in Boling, not far from the river. According to the instructions in the emperor's edict, he upholds integrity and performs the duties of a great minister. He is ordered by Shu Xishou to lead a group of local powerful scholars to the solution of Emperor Xiaoling's hidden residence.
Duting, with the highest standard of Tailao ceremony, offered sacrifices to the mausoleum of the emperor's great-grandfather, Emperor Xiaoyuan Liu Shu, and his grandfather, Emperor Xiaoren Liu Chang. After that, he would rush to Hejian to offer sacrifices to Xiaomu depending on the situation.
The emperor is Liu Kai, the Xiaowang of Hejian.
These are the fathers and ancestors who were honored after Emperor Xiaoling ascended the throne. They are a complete imperial lineage that has continued from Emperor Xiaozhang to the present day. They represent the legitimacy and legitimacy of the emperor's identity. He asked Liu Yu to worship this lineage with great fanfare.
On the one hand, the imperial line was to provide Liu Yu with something to do when he was promoted and secretly demoted. On the other hand, it was to deliberately ignore the imperial line of Emperor Xiaohuan, who was also born in the Hejian royal family, so as to highlight the status of his side.
Therefore, the emperor attaches great importance to this matter, and all etiquette must be complete. Moreover, these mausoleums and temples have been in disrepair for a long time, and foxes and rabbits are digging holes everywhere in the Shinto dormitories. Manpower has to be spent on renovations. So many things are piecemeal.
All in all, it will take at least three or four months to complete. By that time, not only the war in Yongliang, but also Nanpi will be over.
The emperor pondered for a while and quickly thought of a solution. This method seemed to have already existed in his mind, but when he said it, his tone was a little uncertain: "The war in Qingzhou is over, why not let Cao Cao go."
Xun You was a little surprised, but he knew that Cao Cao had been working hard in Yanzhou and other places for a long time, and sooner or later he would be transferred by the emperor, so it was not surprising. It was just that Cao Cao, a foreign general, rushed to Yongliang to rescue the emergency. Are local generals like Zhang Ji
He still needs to get used to it before he can appreciate it; it is also not yet known how much military success he can achieve.
He subconsciously denied: "General Zhendong has been fighting in Guandong for a long time. He does not know the geography and customs of the northwest and rushes to help. Can he immediately familiarize himself with military affairs and dispatch troops? This is one of the inconveniences. Furthermore, if he is currently in Qingzhou, if he is transferred to Bingzhou
, it is necessary to cross Hebei, and the mountains and mountains are difficult and remote, so it is better to wait and see if there is an emergency... Moreover, if the troops and horses they carry are too few, it will be useless; if there are too many, their army will pass through the inland... and they will have to guard against it."
Xun You analyzed the reasons why Cao Cao was not suitable for transfer to the northwest from several aspects. It was not only to protect Cao Cao, but also sincerely considered the emperor's position. The emperor nodded lightly, deeply agreeing with this, but in his heart
They just want to transfer Cao Cao away, rather than really hoping that Cao Cao can play any role in Yongliang.
"The war between Yongliang and Liang was far from being accomplished overnight. After the Qiang plague subsided, there will still be Western Regions and Shuofang." The emperor picked up a few memorials on the desk and opened them. It happened to be Wang Bin's memorial.
Looking through another book, it was Dong Chengmao who recommended himself and wanted to replace Huangfu Song in leading the army to quell the chaos. He thought that all the relatives around him were good and bad, and there was still a backbone for future reforms. At this time, he tested Cao Cao, how could he not
It depends on whether Cao Cao can make the right decision?
As the emperor spoke, he put down the memorials: "The world is too big to be limited to one place. Now that Hebei has gathered troops and horses, Yuan Xi is about to be destroyed, and Yuan Shao retreats to a corner of the Bohai Sea to resist. Cao Cao only needs to stay in the forbidden area.
, Li Dian and other generals guarded the plains and helped the northern and southern armies join forces to attack. Is it possible that they still cannot capture Nanpi City?"
He glanced at Xun You who was hesitating about this matter, and suddenly remembered Xun Chen who was killed in Yecheng and was seriously injured. He couldn't help but relax and said: "Xun Jun's concerns are not unreasonable. Let Cao Cao make his own choice. He is a wise soldier."
Man, I'll wait for his military strategy."
It was said that it was based on Cao Cao's views, but the emperor's meaning was already very clear, so what could Cao Cao have? In fact, he could have completely avoided the troubled waters of Yongliang and peacefully fought for the emperor in the front line to attack Nanpi.
, conquered Hebei, and then made great achievements. However, he won the Qingxu battlefield, captured Yuan Tan, and then came to Hebei to get a share of the pie. Not to mention that the limelight was too great, even the Northern and Southern armies would not sit back and watch him separate in the end.
of great merit.
Compared with this, Cao Cao went to Yongliang to compete with Zhang Ji and other Liangzhou generals, which was nothing. So Cao Cao decisively wrote a memorial in his own hand, saying that his lifelong ambition was "to make meritorious service to the country against thieves."
, ** conferred the title of Marquis as the General of the Conquest of the West, and then inscribed the tomb saying, "The tomb of Cao Hou, the former general of the Han Dynasty who conquered the West." It means that as a Han official, he should obey all the orders of the imperial court. Whenever the emperor gives orders, he should obey them.
There should not be any special edicts to ask for opinions.
The emperor was very happy to receive his "Zi Ming Ben Zhi Shu". At the same time, he also understood the hidden meaning of Cao Cao's memorial. He immediately ordered Cao Cao to be the General of the Western Expedition, made him a rural lord, supervised the military affairs of the merging states, and led Cao Cao
The descendants of the Xiahou family and other clans moved westward to Bingzhou.
