How to do? On the throne, the little emperor was filled with only these three words.
Just a few days ago, he heard the news of Liu Yuan's violent death and the civil strife of the Xiongnu. Unexpectedly, just after he left Luoyang, the pseudo-han became so troubled that he even wanted to move the capital to Chang'an. This is great news! Once the Xiongnu left Sizhou and went to Guanzhong, Liang Feng was sure to take back half of Sizhou. And how could the Huns let go of their opponents who forced them to flee? When the two strong meet, I am afraid that no one will be able to take care of him. Shouchun Xindu, wouldn't it be safe
After the two sides lost seven to eighty-eight, Gou Xi led troops to pacify Yuzhou and Yanzhou. By then, he would be full of wings and move back to Luoyang. Although Liang Zixi was unreliable, at least he could abide by his duties as a courtier. Having a stable northern land is the beginning of rebuilding the foundation.
With so many thoughts surging in his heart, the little emperor was so excited that he couldn't sleep peacefully for a few days. Unexpectedly, the situation changed suddenly. Gou Xi, who had always been invincible and had outstanding combat power, died in such a defeat!
What will Shouchun do? With only 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses in his hand, can he still stop the chaos
"Your Majesty! Immediately spread the word and order Jingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou to send troops to help, and keep the enemy out of the Huai River!" General Liu Zhun said loudly.
After the arrival of the imperial chariot, Liu Zhun had a lot of friction with Gou Xi, who had come from afar, and he hated Gou Xi to the bones for a long time! However, the sudden death of Gou Xi is not a good thing. What he took away was most of the imperial court's troops, and his own troops might not be able to defend Shouchun. The best way is to order the provincial governors to send troops to fight the enemy together.
Not to mention Jing and Xu, Yangzhou Governor Sima Rui has a lot of soldiers in his hands. At such a time of crisis, wouldn't he dare not come to the rescue? It is summer now, and the rainfall is abundant. If there is no boat, it is not so easy to force the Huai River. As long as there are soldiers, you can block the enemy!
These words instantly awakened the dreamer. The little emperor immediately nodded: "Yes, there is also King Langya! Quickly send an envoy to pass the message and order him to send troops! Please also ask the general to lead the troops quickly to stop the bandits!"
Liu Zhun is someone who has calmed down the civil unrest. As long as Shouchun is kept, no one can take his position in front of the imperial court.
However, in the eyes of Sima Rui, the plans of the people in the court were completely different.
"Didn't Gou Xi lead an army of 100,000 people? Why can't he stop those two bandits!" When he heard the news, Sima Rui's heart was half cold.
In the past, Wang Mi and Shi Le caused troubles in Yu and Yan, and more and more nobles packed their bags and fled with their families. In just a few months, more than 60,000 nobles have poured into Yangzhou! This is not an oppressed refugee. Huainan County has long been unable to settle down, and Lujiang County is also full of complaints. Many people even crossed the river directly, wanting to establish a foothold in Jiangdong. How can San Wu's surname not be angry now? The relationship, which was finally eased, became tense again. Not to mention the money spent to support the emperor. Now that he has to send troops again, wouldn't it cost his life? !
Wang Dun on the side said lightly: "Shouchun is also a barrier to Jiangdong, and the emperor is in charge. How can you not guard it? However, if you send troops, you will be conscripted. If the servants all come from Huainan, what will happen?"
Sima Rui was startled, and then he understood what Wang Dun meant. Huainan County has been disturbed by the northerners who moved south, and now it is a busy farming season. There have been many people's uprisings in Jiangdong in the past two years. Once someone takes action, there will be chaos immediately!
This is a risky move. If one is bad, you may be implicated. And if Shouchun is broken, and the emperor moves again, what should he do if he crosses the river
Seemingly seeing Sima Rui's hesitation, Wang Dun said: "The Governor has been overly concerned. The Son of Heaven was coerced by the King of the East Sea. If it is not a last resort, I am afraid that he will not cross the river. Even if Gou Xi is destroyed, Shouchun will still have troops. Don't consume any more. , how can the commander's troops come forward? No matter whether it is successful or not, it will not interfere with the commander."
Wang Dun is no more cold-hearted than Director Wang, so this strategy is really vicious. If Huainan were to change, causing Shouchun City to collapse and the emperor to die, it would be best. On the contrary, even if it fails, it can exhaust the emperor's troops and give Sima Rui a reason to send troops. In this way, wouldn't the little emperor, who had no soldiers and no power, become a clay puppet that he could play with
Sima Rui swallowed his saliva. This strategy really made people's blood cold, but it was not necessarily a solution: "Then who will go?"
"General Liu used to be the governor of Yuzhou, and he fought against Wang Mi again. It would be better to send him there." Wang Dun smiled slightly.
When he said General Liu, he meant Liu Kun. This son is too famous and has a high pedigree. He also served as the governor of Yuzhou. If it hadn't been for the wrong King of the East Sea, and the emperor would hate him, he might still be able to reuse it. Putting such a person next to Sima Rui is not an option. It is better to take this opportunity to send to Shouchun and use a knife to kill.
Since he left Langya, his life has been on Sima Rui. All Wang Dun thought about was how to stand firm, control this weak and bully county king, and achieve his goals.
However, how can Sima Rui see through these? Nodding again and again, he said, "Just follow Chu Zhong's strategy!"
The entire Jiangdong is in turmoil for the coming enemy. But in Wang Mi's camp, there was no chilling as he imagined.
Looking at the messenger standing respectfully in front of him, Wang Mi smiled and said, "General Shi, please, why not go?"
Before killing Gou Xi, Shi Le had a lot of credit. If he hadn't set up an ambush, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to kill that general. Therefore, Wang Mi pretended to be generous and put all the credit on Shi Le's head. Even the battle wins have divided him a lot. Then Wang Mi offered to attack Shouchun with him.
If you can beat Shouchun, it will be a great feat. This series of actions really made Shi Le relax his vigilance. Not only was the camp of the two armies closer, but he was also invited to a banquet to discuss plans to send troops.
However, Wang Mi thought, where is the attack on Shouchun. It was just waiting for Cao Yi to transfer his troops and encircle Shile. It is not easy to kill the emperor of Jin, and it is not easy to kill a slave. He had no intention of destroying the enemy for Liu Yao. The best way is to roll up Shi Le's troops and take the road to Jingzhou. When Jingzhou got his hands, most of the northern land was in his hands. It is estimated that the Xiongnu will fight against Bingzhou, and the little emperor will shrink his life again. Isn't it a perfect opportunity to stand on his own
It is precisely because of this idea that Shi Le must not be suspicious now. I'm afraid that Jienu thought he wanted to vote for Liu Yao and found him to have a relationship. If there is vigilance, the battle will not be easy to fight.
With Wang Mi's approval, the messenger left the tent happily. Wang Zhang was a little hesitant: "Brother is really going to the banquet? Going to Shile now, I'm afraid it won't be very safe..."
Wang Mi laughed: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger's son? That Jienu has just made a great contribution, and he is very happy. If I make a fool of myself, I will definitely make him get carried away. When I attack Shouchun, I will use his elite under his command. Riding as a striker, taking advantage of the melee between the two armies to fight back against each other, he could easily kill him. Wouldn't that Yanzhou under Jienu become the thing in the bag?"
Wang Zhang's lips moved, but nothing came out. He is too aware of his brother's temperament, and this plan is indeed guaranteed. Even if Shi Le saw something and the two armies were so close together, what could he do? It is better to push the boat with the current, go to the banquet, and completely stabilize the other party.
After making a plan, Wang Mi took his own soldiers and rushed to the Shile camp. Shi Le also gave enough face and greeted him in person.
The banquet is a good banquet, the wine is good wine, and even the host is all smiles. Shi Le took the lead in toasting and said respectfully to Wang Mi: "This time, the great defeat of the Jin army is all the credit of the general. The last general is not talented, and he deserves it!"
Wang Mi smiled and said, "Why should Shilong be humble? Everyone knows that you are brave. If you didn't break the city and set up an ambush, how could you kill Gou Xi?"
This compliment brought smiles to the faces of both of them. With the wine in his stomach, Shi Le filled his glass again and raised his glass: "At the end of the day, the general fled Jizhou in a daze. If there was no general to take him in, where would it be today? Now the merit is in hand, thanks to the promotion of the general."
Wang Mi's teeth itch a little after hearing this. Do you also know that it is all up to me to help you today? Then why do you vote for Liu Yao! However, at this moment, it is absolutely impossible to say these words. After drinking the second cup, Wang Mi sighed softly: "Who doesn't have a bad time? Speaking of which, I offended the King of Qin earlier, and now that I have moved the capital to Chang'an, I'm afraid it will be difficult in the future, and I have to rely on Shilong for support. ."
These words can well explain why he suddenly showed affection, and it should also make the other party more complacent. Who would have expected Shi Lemeifeng to pick one: "The Great General is in hand, haven't you thought about leaving the Han Kingdom?"
What? ! Wang Mi suddenly raised his head and looked at the opposite Jie Ren. What's the point of this? Could it be that Shi Le had a self-reliant mind and wanted to pull him out of the Han kingdom together
However, his mind changed sharply, and Wang Mi pretended to be surprised: "What does Shilong mean?"
Answering this is the same as not answering. Shi Le slowly drank his glass of fine wine and sighed: "The last general thought that the general was treating me sincerely. It seems that he will be wrong..."
Wang Mi's heart suddenly tightened: "Shilong's words are strange, if I really have the mind, why should I attack Shouchun?"
"Well, why?" Shi Le sneered, the hand holding the cup swung violently, only to hear a pop, the cup fell to the ground and shattered.
With this sound, hurried footsteps came from behind the curtain, and hundreds of ambush knife and axemen rushed out.
Wang Mi's face changed drastically, just as he was about to jump up, the sharp blade slashed on the neck. The knife was so fierce that the head of the big man flew out, as if motivated by this order, the knife and axemen rushed towards the personal soldiers brought by Wang Mi. The sound of slaughter and screams only sounded for a moment, and calm was restored in the tent.
Shi Le waved off the blood on the blade and put the knife back into the sheath: "Send the order, attack the camp!"
Wang Mi thought he was keeping it a secret, but the messenger he sent to Qingzhou was stopped by Shi Le long ago. Cao Yi did not send troops, and it is never possible to know the order of his general.
Attack Shouchun? Schiller had no plans for that at all. The only purpose is to lure Wang Mi to take the bait and take the opportunity to kill. His elite cavalry had been prepared for a long time, and only after Wang Mi gave the leader, they would attack his camp. Although Wang Mi's strength was comparable to his own, the elites had suffered considerable losses in the previous battles, and he sent his confidant Cao Yi to Qingzhou. If you are not prepared, you may not be able to win.
Since he was unkind, he couldn't blame himself for being unrighteous.
"Destroy the camp as soon as possible and kill Wang Zhang." Stepping over the headless corpse, Shi Le strode out of the tent.
That night, Wang Mi's camp was attacked, and Wang Zhang was killed in battle. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are in chaos!
"What did you say? Shi Le turned against the water, and Wang Mi was attacked and killed?!" The little emperor stood up from the throne, his pale face flushed red. Liu Zhun had not yet sent troops, but the enemy actually killed each other. Isn't this a godsend? !
"Quickly order the general to cross the river and kill the defeated army!" He shouted loudly. This is the best time to retake Yuzhou! The puppet Han is already in chaos, and Wang Mi's remnants have to guard against Shi Le, how can they have the spare strength to resist the imperial army
Troops must be launched! The more the better! This time the capital was moved, it really was the right move!
In the excited shouts of the little emperor, tens of thousands of troops crossed the Huai River and launched a fierce attack on the cities that fell into the hands of the thieves. Countless grains and forages also moved further afield along with the mighty team of servants.
For a time, both sides of the Huai River were like a boiling tripod.
