Chapter 526 Persuading the War ([-])

At three o'clock, the sun is warming up.The river water is sparkling, and fish come out of the water from time to time.

The war broke out at the beginning of spring, and the good fields on both sides of the strait were not plowed. Now the fields are full of weeds and green.

The southern army set up camp here, stretching for dozens of miles, full of tents, with no end in sight.

A letter flag nearly three feet high was fluttering in the wind, with a huge "Chang" written on it, and the banner was Chang Yizhi's handsome account.

Changyi was nearly fifty years old, with white temples, medium build and ordinary appearance.At this time, he was only wearing a cloth shirt, standing on the south bank of the Qianshui River, carefully watching the Wei army camp on the north bank.

If it weren't for the fact that there were many generals around him and the flags were flying, no one would have noticed that he was the commander in chief of a hundred thousand troops.

Today, among the famous generals still alive in Nanliang, he is as famous as Wei Rui.

Before Liang, that is, during the Song and Qi dynasties, Wei Rui's reputation was not obvious, and he was busy with staff affairs.But because of his background in Sanfu Webster, the first half of his life went smoothly.It was only after helping Xiao Yan to start an incident that he emerged.

Three years ago, during the Battle of Zhongli, Wei Rui and Cao Jingzong sprinted to support Changyizhi who stood firm in Zhongli, defeated Yuanying, Xing Luan, Yang Dayan and other famous Northern Wei generals, and killed hundreds of thousands of Wei army elites, and they were famous all over the world. , was able to become a marquis.

In contrast, Changyi had martial arts when he was young, and he made more military exploits when he was in the Southern Qi Dynasty.When Xiao Yan served as the governor of Nanyongzhou (Xiangyang), Chang Yizhi was his confidant general.

After that, he followed Xiao Yan to conquer all directions, winning consecutive battles and invincible bravery.Including Jiankang, the capital of the Southern Qi Dynasty, was conquered by Changyi's army.After the founding of Nanliang, Xiao Yan granted him the title of Marquis of Yongfeng County and General Zhige (from the third rank, in charge of the guard, similar to the leading general of the Northern Wei Dynasty.)
Afterwards, Xiao Yan granted Changyi a false festival and was transferred to Xuzhou governor to guard Zhongli.

It was the third year of Yuan Ke's succession to the throne. He was very ambitious and vowed to wipe out Nanliang in one fell swoop.

This attack lasted for five full years, and a small Zhongli was like an iron wall, preventing the Wei army from advancing an inch.

Whether it is Yuanying, Li Chong, Li Ping, Xing Luan, Yang Dayan, etc., all the famous generals of the Wei Dynasty, except Xi Kangsheng and Cui Yanbo, guard the North.The rest all returned bitterly at Zhongli City.

Until Zhongli was defeated, Yuanying, Xing Luan, and Yang Dayan fled in despair, and the Wei army lost more than [-] elites in the first battle.

And the most critical time is the eve of Yuanying's defeat.Nearly 20 Wei troops besieged Zhongli, and the tens of thousands of troops in the city fought to less than 3000 people.

If it weren't for Changyizhi who would take the lead in every battle, and insisted on holding on until Wei Rui and Cao Jingzong led the army to help, Nanliang might have been wiped out by Yuanying.

Therefore, this old man who is like the old farmer next door is really not a good stubble.When Li Shao learned that it was the leader of Changyi, Li Shao felt like facing a big enemy...

"There are so many fertile farmlands in the entire Guanzhong. I'm afraid there are millions of hectares? It's a waste of a year, and at least tens of thousands of stones are owed. If it belongs to me in Nanliang, at least one million households can be raised... What a pity... ..."

Chang Yizhi repeatedly sighed, holding the thin loess, his face was full of regret.

The generals around him were all eager to move, looking at the endless fields, their eyes were full of envy and greed.

Today's Huguang, Liangjiang, and Lianghuai are still under development, and the northeast is still deep in the mountains and old forests. Counting and counting, only Guanzhong produces the most grain.

That's why there is a proverb that "Guanzhong is cooked, the world is full".

From the beginning of the Qin Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, only those who win Guanzhong can win the world.The root cause of it is because of thousands of miles of Qinchuan, millions of fertile fields.

It's no wonder that Xiao Yan's eyes were hot, and Yuan Huai and Yu Zhong were moved by Yuan Huai and Yu Zhong's words in a few words.

Even some generals made fun of it: "What the governor said is... after the current dynasty, Guanzhong will no longer be the land of Wei, but our Liangjing..."

There was a lot of chorus, and even the generals were looking forward to the scene. After this victory, Chang Yizhi can ask the emperor to play, whether he can give the generals some land in Guanzhong.

Chang Yizhi nodded perfunctorily, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart.

Yuan Wei is not paper, how can it be so easy?
Since the founding of the country by Emperor Daowu, several emperors have been wise emperors, each year is better than each year, each generation is stronger than the last generation, and the national power is growing day by day.

On the other hand, in the Southern Dynasties, since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, internal struggles have continued. In several dynasties, the subordinates committed crimes against the superiors, and the ministers killed the king to steal the country.Under the ebb and flow of each other, the Yuan and Wei Dynasties were much stronger than the Southern Dynasties.

If it weren't for Rouran's containment, which consumed nearly [-]% of Wei's national power, the world would have been unified long ago.

It was because of the Battle of Zhongli that the Yuan and Wei Dynasties turned from prosperity to mourning, but the emaciated camels were bigger than horses, and it was impossible for the Yuan and Wei Dynasties to perish in just one battle.

Chang Yizhi only hoped that, as Yuan Huai and Yu Zhong said, as long as they win this battle, Yuan Wei will be full of smoke and rebels.

Only then did the Southern Dynasties have the hope of discord in Guanzhong and even the Northern Expedition.

Thinking about it in his mind, Chang Yizhi asked again in a deep voice: "Jing Jun, I sent you to Siyuan City a while ago, and asked King Jiyin and Yu Lingjun to come into my tent for discussion in the afternoon. How did they respond? ?”

"Marquis of Bing County, Yu Lingjun said: Lord Fu Luo, the commander of Tuyuhun, will arrive at Qianyuan at the latest at noon, so after Master Fu Luo arrives, he will definitely come to pay a visit to the governor with King Jiyin..."

Cheng Jingjun responded respectfully, but he muttered in his heart: since I met Yu Zhong in Yuyuan City, and returned to Changdu Governor after returning, this is already the third time he has asked.

I don't remember where I made a mistake, how Yu Zhong replied, how he reported it, not even a single word...

While he was wondering, he heard Chang Yizhi ask again: "Have you heard clearly?"

All the generals replied in unison: "Understand!"

"Then let's make a point or two with the old man: Navolo didn't defend the western front, why did he go hundreds of miles away and come to Qianyuan?"

"Presumably Navolo has admired the county marquis for a long time, so he came to pay a visit!"

"Huh?" Chang Yizhi immediately became angry, "Fart!"

Just as he was about to give orders, he pulled down the general who had flattered him on the horse's hooves and slapped his mouth. Suddenly, a shout came from a distance: "County Marquis: His Royal Highness King Jiyin, Duke Yu, and Lord Fuluo have arrived in the camp. Please wait for me..."

finally come?

Chang Yizhi sighed leisurely: "Back to the camp!"

……

Hearing that Changyi had arrived outside the tent, Yuan Li, Yu Zhong, and Fu Luo all got up at the same time and greeted him out of the tent.

With just one glance, Chang Yizhi knew who was Yuan Li and who was Fu Luo.

One is wearing a long crown, and the other is wearing a bib, which can be guessed with the toes.

Chang Yizhi cupped his fists from a distance, and bowed to Yuan Li who was standing in the middle: "I've heard about the prestige of King Ji Yin for a long time, and now I'm lucky enough to meet him, he really is a dragon and a phoenix among people!"

"The county marquis praises it, it must be Yuan who admires the county magistrate!"

People carrying people in flowery sedan chairs naturally cannot do without some compliments.After a while of humility, the three of them jointly pushed Chang Yizhi, the oldest, to take the first place.It is also known as a guest from afar, and Fu Luo is invited to take the second seat.Yuan Li and Yu Zhong are at the bottom.

The four of them sat down, Chang Yi's eyes glanced briefly, and finally settled on Fu Luo's face: "When I called for troops in Hanzhong, I knew that my lord had sent troops to Songpan. It's been more than half a month now, so the battle on the western front must be going smoothly?"

A bird feather?
As if uncovering a scar that had scabbed not long ago, Fu Luo's face suddenly turned black.

If he didn't know that this old man just arrived the day before yesterday, Fu Luo almost thought that Chang Yizhi was humiliating him.

To say it went well would be to deceive oneself and others.If it doesn't go well... Fu Luo really can't say it.

Could it be that telling Chang Yizhi that Li Chengzhi scared him out of his wits after only one battle?
The three of them had already discussed it when they came, instead of letting Changyi's ignorance and underestimating the enemy to advance aggressively, and end up in complete defeat, they simply told the truth and let him make his own decision.

It can be considered that the heroes see the same thing, and Fu Luo strongly agrees with Yuan Li's suggestion: either not to fight, or to start the war as soon as possible.

If Li Yun can be defeated before Li Chengzhi returns to aid, all the more than [-] Wei troops will be wiped out, and the nail in Qizhou, which is located in the heart of Guanzhong, will be completely removed.Then the soldiers were divided into groups, or attacked the central counties, or sent troops to the north to attack Rouran from the north to the south to plot Beizhen, or even sent troops to Tongguan to point at Luoyang.

Even if Li Chengzhi has three heads and six arms, there are only [-] to [-] soldiers left in his hands at that time, how many ways can he defend?

And one step late is every step late.No matter how powerful his thunder weapon is, Fu Luo, Chang Yi is not a dead person, don't he know how to avoid his sharp edge?

But if this unique opportunity is missed, when Li Chengzhi returns to Qizhou to join forces with Li Shaobing, there will be a hundred thousand troops in hand.And sitting in Qizhou, you can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat.

What worries Fu Luo even more is: with Li Shao as the backing, Li Chengzhi can sometimes make false statements and sometimes make real statements.When you thought he was in Qizhou, he suddenly arrived in Tongguan.You thought he was in the north of Lingbei, but he bypassed Qinling from Qinzhou and directly hit the back of the coalition army.

In this way, even with the courage of the coalition forces, they dare not divide their troops.

So Fu Luo has already made up his mind, if Chang Yizhi can't be persuaded today, then from tomorrow onwards, he will sit on the sidelines.

You can't steal the chicken, let alone break the rice, even the thief's life will be lost, right?
It would be best if a miracle happens, and there is nothing wrong with following Chang Yizhi to fight the wind.But if the situation is not right, Fu Luo will retreat overnight.

Anyway, he is a cavalry soldier, he can run fast, and he can run as fast as...

It was originally a probing remark, but Fu Luo could perfunctory it with a casual sentence.Even if Changyi is suspicious, it is not easy to go deep into it.But whoever thought that Fu Luo would not dare to answer, instead he kept winking at Yuan Li and Yu Zhong, as if he wanted them to rescue him.

Changyi's heart suddenly jumped: Could it be... that Fu Luo was defeated?
But think about it, right?

In the early morning, the scouts from Lingbei came to report that Hu Qi was mighty and mighty, coming east along the south bank of the Wei River.Looking at the battalion flag and formation, it is at least around [-].

And Fu Luo only sent [-] troops this time. Even if he had already fought against Li Chengzhi and lost one game, the loss should not be too great.It stands to reason that it is far from the level of retreating troops.

But why did Fu Luo come with all his troops this time?

That's why Chang Yi was so puzzled that he asked his subordinates again and again just now...

Just when he was in doubt, Yu Zhong got up suddenly, and bowed deeply to Chang Yizhi: "Yu is ashamed of the governor, and even more ashamed of his majesty..."

The His Majesty he was talking about was naturally not the Young Emperor of Luoyang, but Xiao Yan of Jiankang...

I'm ashamed... Could it be that Yu Zhong lied to the world when he was in Jiankang?
With a flash in front of his eyes, he saw that Yu Zhong had already got up.He reached into his sleeve and took out a thick stack of letters.

"I hope the governor will forgive me. It's not that Yu is deceiving on purpose. In fact, the current situation is changing rapidly, changing day and night. And in just two months, it's like a world turning upside down..."

After receiving the letter, Chang Yizhi did not open it in a hurry, but his eyes were like lightning, skipping over Fu Luo and Yuan Li, and staring at Yu Zhong like a blade: "Regardless of what happened before, let me ask now: how is the western front? ?”

As expected of a famous general in the world, he hit Qicun with a stick?
The three of them originally agreed to proceed step by step, from cause to effect, but Chang Yizhi did the opposite, which completely disrupted Yu Zhong's rhythm, making it difficult for him to speak out for a while.

It is true that when he was in Jiankang, he talked too much.It's a pity that things backfired, but in just over a month, Li Chengzhi slapped him twice hard, causing his nose to bleed.

"A defeat is a defeat, why not say it?"

Fu Luo was very light-rooted, and said bluntly, "It has come to this point, we dare not lie to the Marquis of Chang County: the western front has been defeated, the clear water has been broken, and Yuan Ji is dead. We have no choice but to do our best. , come to help the governor..."

"I'm waiting? Besides my lord, who else is there?"

"Yuan Xia, Hou Gang..."

"How many troops do they have?"

"There should be more than ten thousand!"

Changyi Zhiteng stood up suddenly: Help your aunt?
There are more than 2 troops on the western front, except Yuanji's [-] infantry, and you Fuluo's [-] fine cavalry.Now there are only [-] left, and those [-] must have been killed and captured.Besides, even Yuanji was killed in battle, so why is your army still under Fu Luo's command?

Furthermore, whether clear water can be broken or not has anything to do with Hou Gang and Yuan Xia?

If he remembers correctly, Yu Zhong mentioned: Yuan Ji was the commander in chief on the western front, who personally guarded Qingshui, Yuan Ji's younger brother Yuan Xia guarded Qin'an, and Hou Gang was in the middle to support...

In this way, wouldn't it be that Hou Gang and Yuan Xia abandoned Qin An as soon as Qingshui City was broken?
Otherwise, how did these two people get more than ten thousand troops?

"A certain governor has already determined that I, Murong Fuluo, must have been as cowardly as a mouse, or even had bad intentions, and then watched from the sidelines until the death of King Jiangyang. But the governor only knows one thing, not the other!"

There was no trace of shame in Fu Luo's eloquent words, "How about the governor read these urgent reports one by one first, and then it's not too late to scold Fu Luo?"

After being silent for a long time, Chang Yizhi uttered a word as if bursting out from between his teeth: "Okay!"

Yu Zhong sighed in disappointment, opened the envelopes one by one, and placed them in front of Chang Yi:

"This is the first letter. It was sent by Lu Yanyu, the deputy general of Wo Ye, on the tenth day of the winter month. He said that he had agreed with Dou Ling, the head of Du Lun's department, to start an incident before the new year's day..."

Yuan Huai and Yu Zhong mentioned this matter emphatically to the emperor when they were in Jiankang, saying that Lu Yan and Dou Ling should cooperate internally and externally, which would inevitably lead to chaos in the six towns.

Afterwards, Rouran Ke Han Chou Nu will send a large army to break through the six towns.

At this point, how could the Yuan Wei court care about Yuan Huai, Yu Zhong and other traitors?

The army will be rushed to the six towns, and then Tuyuhun and Nanliang will take advantage of Yuan Wei Wuxia to take Guanzhong.

This trick is not innocuous, just like two knives, ten thousand stabs in Yuan Wei's neck and one stab in Yuan Wei's back, will make it impossible for him to look at each other from head to tail.

It was because of this plan, and knowing that both Fu Lianchou and Chou Nu had readily agreed to Yuan Huai's sending troops, that prompted Liang Emperor Xiao Yan to agree to Yuan Huai and Yu Zhong, and sent an army to Guanzhong to share a share...

After a hasty scan, Chang Yizhi turned to the second letter when he saw that there was no difference.

"At the end of the winter month, the imperial court dispatched troops and worshiped Li Chengzhi as their commander. The day after the troops were dispatched, Li Chengzhi disappeared...Twenty days later, he suddenly appeared in Woye..."

Chang Yizhi's eyes suddenly popped...

　I wish you all a happy new year, a happy year of the tiger, all wishes come true, and everything goes well!
