This sudden change also spread to Pingyang with the fast horse. Shi Le reported that Wang Mi intended to rebel and was executed by him.
How many people in the DPRK can believe this statement? Killing generals without permission, saying "the heart of not being a minister" is light. However, Liu Yao did not accuse him of acting rashly, but petitioned the Son of Heaven, Feng Shile, to be the general to conquer the east, and to supervise the military affairs of the two states of Yu and Yan. Not to mention that Liu Yao and Wang Mi were always at odds, but the current situation left him with no other choice.
The driver of the relocation of the capital is ready, just waiting to hit the road. Escorting the imperial chariot and the court officials required a lot of troops. Pingyang is not far from Chang'an, but it is not too close. Liu Yao himself once attacked and killed Emperor Hui, who was returning to the dynasty in Hongnong. Now that he is escorting him, how can he not be more cautious
However, the soldiers and horses are all following the imperial drive westward, who will guard Pingyang? What about Hedong? He knew very well that Bingzhou's troops and horses were powerful, and even if it was harvested in summer, it would not delay sending troops. Therefore, there must be soldiers, or elite soldiers, to guard the old capital and guard against surprise attacks from Bingzhou.
Today, not counting the private soldiers under the account of the Huns, there are only 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers in the DPRK. The soldiers and horses who stayed in Chang'an at the beginning could not move without authorization. Yongzhou, Qinzhou, and the remnants of Sima Mo, once they relaxed their vigilance and lost Chang'an, they would be doomed. In such a situation, how could Liu Yao still have the energy to manage Yuzhou's affairs? It would be the best if Shi Le could distract the Jin army from taking care of him.
"I ordered Shi Le to attack Shouchun. Cao Yi went south and entered Xuzhou." In the end, Liu Yao ordered.
In Bingzhou, he didn't dare to move, but it should be fine to fight Shouchun. Once the little emperor of Jin State was timid, he ordered Liang Feng to send troops to suppress the thieves, which would give him some breathing time. Anyway, the more chaotic the situation in Yuzhou, the more beneficial it will be to them.
With such thoughts in mind, the Han Kingdom, like a dog with its tail tucked in its tail, silently began the journey of moving the capital. There was no arrangement even for the imperial chariots, and 30,000 cavalrymen guarded the Tianzi convoy and set off from Pingyang.
Liu Yao was terrified when he left, but Shi Le, who was far away in Yuzhou, didn't feel the same way. After destroying Wang Mi's camp, he didn't fall in love with the battle, and immediately withdrew from the battlefield.
No matter how early he made preparations, Wang Mi's strength was comparable to his, and even if he was involved in the chaos, he might not be able to retreat completely. What's more, the Jin army came too fast, and his position was unstable. Wouldn't it be troublesome to meet a strong enemy again
Therefore, when the envoy brought rewards and orders to attack, Shi Le just pretended to accept the order and said: "Your Majesty's attention, the minister should be loyal to the emperor and Han, and destroy the Jin state!"
He would not fight in Shouchun, but these Jin troops crossing the river might not be able to touch them. After all, these cities in Yuzhou will be occupied by him in the future. But now is not the time to launch troops. Only when the Jin army and Wang Mi's remnants fight to the death can he take advantage. If so, why not wait and see what happens
With such an idea, the Yuzhou battlefield appeared to be one-sided. The Jin army was like a broken bamboo, one city and one county regained lost ground, while the puppet Han retreated steadily, either avoiding the war or being defeated. Soon Ruyin County returned to the territory, and the army continued to advance north.
At the same time, Bingzhou, who had been guarded by Liu Yao, was calm.
"Boyuan, since the battle of Shangdang, you have made a lot of credit." Liang Feng smiled as he greeted the love general who had just returned from Shangdang.
Even if it was predicted that the Huns would not risk attacking Bingzhou or Sizhou, the troops sent to Shangdang did not withdraw immediately. The more the army confronts each other, the more pressure the pseudo-Chinese will feel, and the capital will be moved as soon as possible. Now that the team to move the capital is starting, Yi Yan doesn't have to stay in Shangdang.
"There is a master's decision, but it's just a defensive battle, what's the difficulty?" Yi Yan's eyes were shining, and he didn't look at the person sitting for a moment. The expression of pride mixed with longing was simply unstoppable.
Zhang Bin coughed dryly on the side: "Even if there is a layout of Xinling, we have to fight on the front line. The loss of troops this time is so few, it is really a high level of military use by General Yi."
The damage to the Shangdang campaign was minimal. The biggest losses are the fields and waterwheels, and the cost of stopping the more than 10,000 enemy cavalry is only a few hundred casualties, and it is an amazing number wherever it is placed. Being good at attacking and attacking has always been Yiyan's characteristics, and he never thought that defensive battles could be so beautiful. How can Zhang Bin not be rewarded
Liang Feng couldn't help but smile: "Meng Sun said that. If there are no strong generals, no matter what the strategy is, it will only be a mirror flower. Come, sit here."
As he said that, he clicked on the seat next to him, and the distance was so close that he was almost in bed with him. Yi Yan didn't give up, strode over, and sat down beside Liang Feng. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, his arm brushed over Liang Feng's drooping robe.
Zhang Bin's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he said immediately: "Before Shouchun was attacked, the emperor sent Yuxi and ordered the lord to send troops. However, Shi Le rebelled and killed Wang Mi, causing a chaos of puppet Han troops. Now the situation in Yuzhou is good. , the thieves and bandits are retreating, can the lord send troops?"
This is taking advantage of his illness to kill him. No matter how powerful Wang Mi's remnants were, it was impossible to hold Yuzhou. If you take this opportunity to win the counties near Sizhou, you can add another barrier to Bingzhou.
Hearing this, Yi Yan suddenly said: "Shi Le's troops are retreating? I'm afraid they are deceitful."
"How do you know?" Liang Feng asked curiously.
Yi Yan had just returned from Shangdang, and he should have no idea about the situation in Yuzhou, so how could he dare to make such an assertion
"I have fought with him several times, no matter whether it was an ambush or a confrontation, I couldn't keep this thief. Even in the face of decline, he could not fight back and be surrounded by others. Beheading Wang Mi. Such an act should be avoided to preserve strength." Yi Yan replied simply.
Liang Feng couldn't help but glance at Zhang Bin. If this is the case, I am afraid that there will be changes in Yuzhou. Can you save Shouchun
"I heard that Cao Yi sent troops to Xuzhou, why not order General Zhang to lead the troops and stop him? Bingzhou still has to deal with puppets. If you want to come to your Majesty, you can forgive me." Zhang Bin's words changed.
Fighting Cao Yi made it impossible for him to attack Xuzhou, and he calculated himself to relieve the siege of Shouchun from the side. However, for Liang Feng, it is more to achieve the original strategic goal and seize the coastal area of Qingzhou. Now that the sea is open, Jizhou has enough food and grass, and it is not impossible for Zhang He to lead a dozen troops to fight.
Liang Feng nodded slowly: "That's very good. It's just that if Shi Le is as Bo Yuan said, he still has to make plans early."
Shi Le has already occupied Yanzhou, and it is very likely that he will also occupy Yuzhou. In this way, it borders on Liang Feng's sphere of influence everywhere. If he is so strong that Yi Yan is afraid, he should take precautions in advance.
Zhang Bin glanced at Yiyan and said, "It's better to look up Shile's background. He is from Shangdang, and maybe he has relatives in Wuxiang. If he finds it, it can be useful."
Zhang Bin's tone was flat, but there was not necessarily a temptation in his words. I found Shi Le's relatives, how can I use it? Surrender, or use it as bait? Shi Le is also a Jie, the same family as Yiyan. Will Yi Yan have any ideas about how he treats him
"I can't recruit surrender!" Yi Yan ignored Zhang Bin's temptation and said decisively, "Being good at military use is the second best thing, this son has a lot of scheming, and he can quickly recruit refugees and expand his army wherever he goes. If he is placed in Bingzhou, it is inevitable There will be troubles in the future. The Hu Hus in Bingzhou can only swear allegiance to one person!"
This person, of course, is not referring to himself. Zhang Bin's heart was relieved, it seemed that Yi Yan also thought of the possible threat of an outstanding general. At this moment, he is no longer standing in the position of the clan, but with the lord first. From this attitude, it can be inferred that Yi Yan did not hold back when the two confronted before. Although Yiyan led less troops at that time, but he was able to escape repeatedly, which was enough to prove the danger of Shi Le.
Seeing Yiyan say this, Liang Feng felt waves in his heart. In fact, he always felt that the name Shi Le was familiar and seemed to have appeared in this history. If this is the case, this person may be more difficult than imagined.
Nodding lightly, Liang Feng said, "Attack Qingzhou first, while watching the situation in Yuzhou. This year's task is to stabilize Sizhou. Only Si and Ji Anding can use their hands and feet."
Siege of the city was never Liang Feng's goal. Only peace of mind is the foundation. As long as the subordinates are stable and the people have enough food, are you afraid that you will not be able to win the battle
※
Huainan in summer is extremely rainy. After entering the plum, it was even more cloudy and rainy. Liu Zhun's siege pace gradually slowed down, and the army stopped to rest from time to time. After a fierce battle for more than a month, this is tantamount to good news for the soldiers. But they can rest, but the servant cannot.
To maintain tens of thousands of troops on expeditions, the daily consumption of food and grain is an astonishing number. Grain and grass are continuously transported from Huainan and even Jiangdong. Even with the assistance of boats, they need to be carried by servants. And because of the rainy season, the pressure on the grain transport team increased sharply. It has been delayed for a long time, and no one can afford it if the food goes moldy.
On the muddy official road, a team was hobbling along. The rain stopped, and the air was damp and oppressive, making it hard to breathe. Countless servants were pushing and pulling the carts beside them. No one has the strength to speak, only the squeak of the cart, rolling incessantly.
Walking and walking, I don't know if the ground was too slippery or if I was exhausted, a child less than six feet in height slipped and fell to the ground.
"Adi!" The young man beside him exclaimed, let go of the car, and wanted to help.
Unexpectedly, before they met, an angry voice came from behind: "Don't be lazy! Give me a cart!"
Along with the anger, the whip tip came out of nowhere. The young man flashed in embarrassment, bent over, and hugged his unconscious brother. This time, he realized that the other party was hot, and even his breath was weak. So anxious that his eyes were red, the young man shouted: "Master, he is sick! Please open the door and let him go back..."
"Fart! If you don't deliver the food to the river today, none of you will be able to escape!"
In the food team, if someone is seriously ill, they will only be dragged out of the team and thrown on the side of the road. No one takes care of it, and the weather is like this, which is almost equivalent to abandoning the corpse in the wilderness. The young man clenched his teeth. Why? Why should his family's fields be occupied, and their brothers want to be servants? This is obviously their home village, why is it occupied by those nobles
Several hands reached out, trying to pull his arm away and take away his seriously ill brother. Out of nowhere, the strength came out, the young man shouted and jumped up like crazy. Startled by his madness, several soldiers suddenly lost their hands and feet, and some were pushed to the ground and received a few heavy punches. The convoy was disturbed by the chaos and stopped completely. Seeing that the commotion was going to get out of hand, the colonel was so angry that he pulled out his sword and slashed it.
How can flesh and blood be worth the sword? The young man was unprepared, he was cut straight, and hot blood spurted everywhere. He swayed and fell to the ground. Still puzzled, the lieutenant slashed two more times: "You scoundrel! How dare you commit a crime? Come on, drag him down to me!"
His roar was extremely high, and there seemed to be echoes from the four fields. But no one stepped forward. what happened? The captain raised his head in confusion, only to see dozens or hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at him in front of him. In those eyes, the usual numbness was gone, only the horrific hatred remained.
"What... what... what do you think, do you want to make trouble..." Cold sweat broke out, and the captain raised the long knife in his hand tremblingly, "If you don't want to die, just go back to me..."
No one responded to him, on the contrary, a few sturdy men had already stepped forward.
"Stop it for me! You are treasonous... stop..."
The screams were muffled by angry cries.
"kill him!"
"Kill this dog officer! Take back our fields!"
