Chapter 352 Parting and Tactics
On May 20th, the first batch of water ships passed Xuzhou and were not far from Kaocheng.
At this time, one after another the generals of the government arrived one after another.
Cao Fu, who has been recuperating in Guangchengze in recent years, also came here. When he saw Pei Kang, Yang Jiezhi, Lu Zhi and other old friends, he was filled with emotions.
Mihuang, the new internal historian of the East China Sea, returned home and passed by Kaocheng to pay a visit.
"Zi Hui, tell me about you, alas!" Only Uncle Cao has the qualifications to point fingers at Mi Huang.
When Luoyang was isolated and in danger, Uncle Cao's house was the main base of activities for the left-behind people. Old Cao's status in the world was frighteningly high.
Xiao Hong followed Cao Fu, covering her mouth and smiling softly. At the same time, she searched with her eyes to see how many of the "dressed beasts" who came here today were her prey.
"Military Secretary." Mi Huang sighed softly.
"Since you called me Military Secretary, you still have feelings for the past." Cao Fu said with emotion: "There are four counties in the Donghai Kingdom. The internal history is extraordinary. The prefects can be compared, and they must be no worse than Sili Xiaowei. Come on. Go back and do your best. King Si will not be able to return to the East China Sea in the short term, so I have to rely on you to take care of that mess.”
"I don't have to." Mi Huang nodded lightly.
I came to Luoyang ten years ago, when it was in its prime.
Ten years later, when he returned to the East China Sea, his body was stooped.
In the past ten years, it has suddenly been a dream. How many more decades are there in life?
"Zi Hui." A clear voice sounded in the distance.
Mi Huang looked up, but it was the concubine waving to him.
The heir king and the concubine stood side by side. Chen Gong Shaoxun stood behind, smiling and nodding in greeting.
There were tears in Mi Huang's eyes.
He covered his face with his sleeves, wiped it gently, walked over, saluted the concubine, the heir, and then saluted Shao Xun.
The three of them returned the gift in turn.
Concubine Pei was radiant, solemn and elegant. After looking at Mi Huang carefully, she sighed: "I have been wronged over the years."
Mi Huang smiled bitterly and said: "It's impossible to talk about it."
"The matter in the East China Sea needs to be worried by Mr. Mi." Concubine Pei said, "I don't know when I will be able to return to the East China Sea, alas."
"Concubine, please relax, I have my ministers here. I won't let Xiao Xiao succeed," Mi Huang replied.
"The heir has not bowed to his wife yet? Your family business depends entirely on others to take care of it." Concubine Pei looked at Sima Pi and said.
Sima Pi came back to his senses and bowed hurriedly.
Mi Huang accepted this gift calmly and said: "King Si, don't worry. With your ministers here, there will be no chaos in the East China Sea."
"Mi Gong is both civil and military, but I... I am alone in my faith." Sima Pi stammered.
"Supervisor." Shao Xun stepped forward and greeted with a smile.
"Little Langjun." Mi Huang replied.
After saying that, they both laughed at the same time.
For a moment, it seemed like I was back to the days and nights when we first met in Pan Yuan and fought hard in Piyong.
"I'm leaving." Mi Huang felt that his emotions were out of control many times today, and he almost shed tears again.
"Stay in the East China Sea for a few years and wait for me to come back." Shao Xun put his arms around his shoulders and said: "I received your father's help when I was young, and I will always remember it in my heart. If there is a future, I will definitely have your father's help." Wealth."
"Let's not talk about this." Mi Huang sighed, then held Shao Xun's hand tightly and said, "Take care, we will definitely meet in this life."
< br>"Yes." Shao Xun said.
In today’s world of inconvenient transportation, sometimes a farewell may mean an eternal farewell.
From now on, news about old friends far away may only exist in the words of others.
What’s even more cruel is that these “fragments” are probably the inscriptions on the tombstones of old friends.
This is life.
Mi Huang wiped her tears, strode away without looking back.
Shao Xun looked at his back, feeling a little melancholy in his heart.
Concubine Pei took a few steps and stood side by side with him.
Shao Xun glanced at her and his mood gradually improved.
After Pei Kang finished chatting with Yang Jiong, he quietly looked at his daughter and Shao Xun.
When he saw his daughter this morning, he felt something was wrong. What exactly was wrong was hard to say.
After thinking for a long time, I felt enlightened.
Seeing the two people standing side by side, they secretly cursed them for not paying attention to the occasion. Then they coughed slightly, stepped forward and said, "Mi Zi returns to the East China Sea, or he may have to face Gou. Xi and Cao Yi’s pressure.”
Concubine Pei left gracefully.
"General Gou is not that stupid. King Langya may not be happy if he goes to Xuzhou." Shao Xun said.
Today, when the authority of the central government is gradually declining, the officials are eating from the bowl and looking at the pot. Sima Rui originally traveled south from Xuzhou and had certain connections there. He may also have certain thoughts about Xuzhou in his heart.
Furthermore, Xuzhou is a small state, so Gou Xizhen may not go there. Once he fails, he is more likely to come to Yanzhou to grab food.
As for Cao Yi, haha, Shao Xun doesn't think he must be Liu Han's die-hard either. People are ambitious. When they monopolize a state, they may still respect Liu Han's orders at first, but it will be difficult to say after a long time.
For Jin Ting, this is a target that can be won over.
"Mr. Chen has no idea about Xuzhou?" Pei Kang asked.
“Of course I have an idea, otherwise I wouldn’t have sent Li Zhong to the State of Lu, but doesn’t Mr. Pei think that my stall is too big?” Shao Xun said: “To put it harshly, even if it’s from Yuzhou Qiao, Lu, Pei and other counties will not rebel against me. The mood of the governors is the same. My control over Yanzhou is even weaker. "
This is the drawback of the feudal system.
But if you want to govern directly, in addition to requiring a large number of officials, you also need to destroy the economic foundation and armed forces of the local gentry.
All the talents trained by Shao Xun have been allocated to Luonan and Xiangcheng. Chen County is a bit short, let alone Nanton and Xincai.
Now I still have to coax those people.
"Furthermore, I need to contact Liaodong through Xuzhou." Shao Xun continued.
Pei Kang was a little surprised.
“Buy horses from the Xianbei people.” Shao Xun said with a smile: “If they are willing to sell, we can contact them by sea.”
“Liaodong to Qingzhou can be reached in one day and night with good winds. But it will be a little difficult to reach Xuzhou, right?" Pei Kang said, "It would be bad if the ship capsizes and people are killed."
"We have to try." Shao Xun said, "There is a huge reward. There are always brave men who are willing to go to sea. This is a big business."
"You are really full of fantastic ideas." Pei Kang sighed: "Today we are calling everyone to discuss the matter of Henan. ?"
"Yes." Shao Xun nodded: "The assistants of the Zhenjun general shogunate are also here. I mean, Yuzhou is a place of military struggle, and it will inevitably become a battlefield. In the rear, we can work hard to farm, raise livestock, and train soldiers and horses. Once the time is right, we can counterattack the Xiongnu. With this arrangement, the Yanzhou scholars may be dissatisfied, and they still need Pei Gong's help."
" You are thinking of all the good things that will cost me my favor," Pei Kang said dissatisfied.
Shao Xun laughed.
He stationed infantrymen who were slow in movement and not very effective in combat at various key points in Yanzhou as line-filling troops.
The Silver Spear Army, Yamen Army, and the First Division of Fubing are stationed on the second line as mobile field forces.
The cavalry is used intensively, or is assigned to field infantry for combat, or is used to seize enemy cavalry deep into one's own territory and beat them severely, causing them to suffer several losses and teach them a lesson, so that they do not dare to engage in unscrupulous destruction again.
This tactical arrangement will obviously make the Yanzhou nobles dissatisfied, because they have become cannon fodder.
But in a situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, someone is destined to make sacrifices.
Pei Kang will probably be looked down upon if he tries to persuade him.
“You and Hua Nu——” Pei Kang couldn’t bear it anymore and suddenly asked in a low voice.
"Mr. Pei, what are you..." Shao Xun was a little unsure. Did he know something?
"Don't cause a big problem, it won't end." Pei Kang still doesn't approve of his daughter getting together with this person, and couldn't help but said: "If you want gentlemen to serve you, with your current situation Identity is not difficult. I can even make the decision——"
"Mr. Pei." Shao Xun chuckled and said, "I care about the world and have no interest in women."
After that, he apologized and left.
Pei Kang sighed.
As long as Shao Xun asked, he was even willing to marry his granddaughter (Pei Dun's daughter) to him and make him his second wife, the daughter of the Yu family. Now it seems that Shao Xun doesn't want to have a second wife, and he actually uses this reason to prevaricate him. It's really...
After Shao Xun left Pei Kang, he was planning to convene everyone for a meeting when Cai Cheng ran away in a hurry He came over and reported in a low voice: "Ming Gong, there are two pieces of news coming from Luoyang." The guards went out to fight with the Liangzhou soldiers and defeated the Xiongnu, killing more than 3,000 people. Hu Yanyan camped in Mangshan, and after a long delay, he retreated to Xin'an."
"Secondly, Miao Yuan, the general in the palace, reported secretly that the emperor suddenly arrived. The reason why General Wei Liang Fen visited his house is unknown, but Liang Fen has been very close to Bei Gongchun recently, and it is said that he has also been in contact with the Kansai refugee commander."
Shao Xun finished listening. , thinking for a long time.
It is conceivable that Master Wang defeated Hu Yanyan.
Hu Yanyan only had 20,000 to 30,000 cavalry, and Wang Mi only had more than 20,000 cavalry.
The two guards on the left and right of the Forbidden Army had 25,000 soldiers, no worse than the Huns' infantry.
There are still more than a thousand cavalry troops, of which no less than three hundred are armored.
Coupled with the five thousand Liangzhou soldiers, it may not be possible to severely damage or even annihilate the Xiongnu, but with these elite soldiers as the vanguard, it is possible for the Imperial Army infantry to advance with great noise and repel the Xiongnu. After all, Hu Yanyan was only here to contain them. Yes, he has no reason to fight to the death.
But how can I put it, the emperor’s character is really out of the ordinary.
Have you never considered what to do if you lose?
Visiting the city in person to boost morale, with the elite as the vanguard, and the main force rushing forward, it was purely a one-shot deal.
We won the battle. If we lose, Luoyang will be gone.
As for General Wei Liang Fen...
Shao Xun thought for a long time and felt that there was only one possibility: the emperor did not want Liangzhou Dama, a very capable army, to go back, and wanted to stay in Luoyang , take it for your own use.
Shao Xun has seen the combat effectiveness of the Liangzhou soldiers. They are really fierce. They are brave enough to charge on horseback, and they are also good at fighting on foot.
Liang Fen is from Kansai, so it is not surprising that he is on the line with the Liangzhou soldiers. In fact, he knew Beigong Jun and his generals and had some friendship.
Now that the road to Guanzhong is blocked, it is difficult for Liangzhou soldiers to return home for a while. This is indeed a good opportunity to win over.
Damn it, stop being a monster with me.
"Shun Ling, pick a few smart people and go to Luoyang to ask Taiwei Wang." Shao Xun ordered.
