Da Wei Chun

Chapter 663 Strange things happen every year, especially this year

No matter how you think about it, Yuan Wei seems to be a person whose life is hanging by a thread.Even if the gods come to the world, it is difficult to have the power to return to heaven.

Yuan Yi only felt that all thoughts were silent, but he had to hold up the last bit of spirit: "I'm lonely... I've lost my mind... Now I can only ask everyone to work together through thick and thin, and do your best... But when the situation is settled, the situation will be settled. The Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, Bing Gu and others will definitely live up to everyone's efforts to turn the tide and turn the world around..."

Yuan Yi has already said the words to this point, how can the other five people have no reason?
Even if you don't think so, you must act like you are grateful at this time.

The five people hurriedly got up and bowed down: "I will definitely live up to your Highness's trust!"

Yuan Yi nodded heavily, looked around, and set his eyes on Li Shao's face.After pondering for a long time, it finally turned into a long sigh.

If the gentry in Guanzhong like Li Shao can put aside their past suspicions and help each other with all their strength, raise up the children of Guanzhong and collect all the food in Guanzhong, the imperial court may not be able to turn defeat into victory.

But unfortunately, neither Yuan Cheng nor Yuan Yao could trust Li Shao.Otherwise, he wouldn't have been tempted first, and then ordered him to go to the north with the army.

Naturally, he was afraid that if Li Shao was released back to Guanzhong, it would be like letting a tiger go back to the mountain.

Forget it, leave it to fate...

Yuan Yiqiang cheered up, and waved his hands in a dispirited manner: "Let's perform their duties!"

Everyone said goodbye, and after a while, only he and Yuanqin were left in the tent.

Yuan Yi stared at the beam in dismay, feeling lost: "The general has no military orders for Yu Siruo, so please obey the previous orders and help Cui Xianzi stick to Longshan..."

If you stick to Longshan, how can you defend?
Yuanqin's eyes kept flickering, and after mustering up his courage for a long time, he asked cautiously: "Dare to ask Your Highness, Shanshan's food and grass have been captured by the West Sea. Although there are some in Yuzhong, they can supply at most [-] soldiers. The horse eats and chews for more than a month. If the food is exhausted, how can we continue?"

As soon as his words fell, the huge hall fell silent.After being silent for a long time, Yuan Yi sighed like a gossamer: "I'm just the supervisor of the army. I only care about whether the military orders are in compliance and whether the laws are strict. In any case, I can't control the food and grass... Si Ruo is Sima, the general manager If you have any doubts, the rear army, you should ask the general to clarify..."

Yuan Qin's heart shrank suddenly, and his eyelids kept beating.

I ask a bird feather?
It's also the court's fault that the Jun decree is unclear, and the priority is unclear: before the new year's day, all the troops who went to the north were under the control of Yuan Cheng, including Xi Kangsheng, the general who conquered the north.

After the New Year's Eve, Yuan Cheng will go on a mission to Rouran and Tuyuhun.And Xi Kangsheng also showed fear of war, so he had to change coaches.It should be out of various considerations that the imperial court urgently summoned General Yuan Yao from the South to Beijing, and transferred him to the General of the North to supervise the military forces in the North.

But what is strange is that the imperial court did not take back the envoy of Yuan Cheng, the governor of Beizheng, but removed the envoy of Yuan Yao.

The so-called sky has no two suns, and the family has no two masters.If Yuan Cheng was on an envoy abroad, the generals of the Northern Expedition would naturally look forward to Yuan Yao's lead.But now that Yuan Cheng has returned, if the two military orders are at odds, who should the person receiving the order respect?

Just like this: when Yuan Qin was sent to the north, although Yuan Cheng didn't say it clearly, his intention was self-evident, and he wanted him to ask Yuan Yao for food.

But Yuan Yao pretended to be deaf and dumb, and did not give him an explicit order. It was clear that he only talked about the result, regardless of the process: since you, Yuan Qin, are Sima, you should be responsible for the food, grass, and military supplies. If something goes wrong, naturally you are the only one. ask.

The deeper meaning is: since this catastrophe is caused by Yi Yuancheng, then you are responsible to the end, it is best to find a way by yourself, let alone drag others to blame you...

The problem is, those who should be expropriated have already been forcibly expropriated, and those who should be borrowed have been half-coaxed, half-extorted, so where else can we find a way?
After counting and counting, it seems that there is only one way left: grab!

Not only to grab food, but also to grab food.Otherwise, depending on Cui Yanbo's [-] defeated soldiers, they might not be able to defend Longshan.

But in this way, even if the gentry and common people in Guanzhong did not rebel, they would be forced to rebel.

Yuan Qin's thoughts moved slightly, and he finally knew why Yuan Yao ordered Li Shao to join the army, and even guessed why Yuan Cheng planned to order Li Shao and Yang Shu to return to Guanzhong to collect food.

Now that the army on the South Road is unsustainable, Yuan Cheng has nothing to do, but he doesn't want to bear the notoriety, nine out of ten he will pull people back.After counting and counting, Li Shao is the most suitable.

But even if it was replaced by Li Shao, the result would definitely not be much better, and the scapegoat of "officials forcing people to rebel" would still be unavoidable.Therefore, Li Shao's [-]% will not do anything, and directly raise troops.

But Yuan Cheng had expected it long ago, and with Cui Yanbo's [-] troops stationed in Longshan, how much trouble could Ren Li Shao make?
Can't beat Li Chengzhi, and can't beat a group of thieves who suddenly rebelled?

By then, Yuan Cheng would have ample excuses: Since he had rebelled, he would be a traitor, and he would put down the bandit chieftain, and hand over the food and grass and Ding Zhuang.

Yuan Yao expected this festival, so he came up with a trick to draw his salary from the bottom...

It is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong, and it is not because the two are fighting for power and profit.But the angle of consideration is different: just because Yuan Cheng is at a loss what to do, and even more at a loss, he can't care about drinking poison to quench his thirst, so he no longer cares whether Guanzhong will rebel, and just wants to resist the army of the West Sea.

But Yuan Yao is different: If you can't put down Li Chengzhi and mess up Guanzhong, wouldn't it be picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelon, but the gain is not worth the loss.

Maybe there is still a trace of fantasy left: what if the imperial court has another strange move, or if the timing changes?

Therefore, there must be no chaos in Guanzhong, at least until Li Chengzhi is put down, there must be no chaos...

But where did the food for the counter-insurgency army come from, and where did the soldiers come from?

Yuan Qin's mind was spinning fast, and he tried hard to think of a way: Shandong and Henan must not move lightly, otherwise Nanliang would be able to cross the Yangtze River all the time.

As for Hedong, it is not much better than Guanzhong.Furthermore, now that all the Chinese troops have been dispatched, Hedong has become the last Ping Fan in Luoyang. If there is also trouble, where can we defend the capital?

Beidi and the Six Towns have been battered to pieces, and now Yuan Yao and Xi Kang are able to maintain their lives well, so how can there be soldiers and food to levy?
The more Yuan Qin thought about it, the more anxious he became, he gritted his teeth hard, and bowed deeply: "If you are stupid in thinking, you are really helpless, please teach me, Your Highness!"

"Do you still need me to teach? Siruo, Siruo, you really think that the city king is in chaos, and you want Li Shao to rebel, and you want to force him to forcibly collect food in Guanzhong? It's just trying to get you..."

Yuan Yi shook his head as if he couldn't help but laugh, "Ren Chengwang's official career has been ups and downs, and he has been wise for half his life. How could he suddenly lose his mind? Don't worry, there will be no chaos in Guanzhong..."

Yuan Qin couldn't understand it: "Then where is there a good strategy?"

"Si Ruo, you still underestimate Ren Chengwang!"

Yuan Yi sneered, "He can trick the Empress Dowager to borrow 30 troops from Rouran and Tuyuhun, why can't he borrow food and soldiers from Nanliang?"

Ask Nanliang to borrow troops and food... Isn't this setting Yuan Cheng on fire?
Yuan Qin's heart shrank suddenly.

Thinking about it carefully, since the beginning of Yuan Cheng and Yuan Ying's collusion and oppression of Li Chengzhi in every possible way, a big mistake has been made.But Li Chengzhi's words became a prophecy, and Gao Zhao openly rebelled, he still didn't know how to restrain himself, and instead made mistakes.

Up to now, it's hard to get back, and it's too late to regret, so he can only be wrong to the end: For Yuan Cheng, as long as Li Chengzhi can be killed, there is nothing he can't pay.Now that he can bow his head to Rouran, it seems that it is not so unacceptable to bow down to Nanliang, his feud.

As for the price... There is no food, no silk, at least there is land.The big deal is to cut off a few states from Nanliang, let a few cities...

With such thoughts in mind, Yuan Qin's forehead was filled with cold sweat in just a moment.

Divide the territory and split the land, cede the land and seek peace... The Yuan and Wei Dynasties are not far from the destruction of the country...

"This move is no different from digging flesh to mend a sore, and holding a salary to put out a fire. This...how is this possible?"

"If you can't make it, it's natural that the Queen Mother and King Ren Cheng will make a decision. Why do you need to discuss it? But the matter has come to this point, what can I do? Let's do it and see..."

Yuan Yi waved his hand disconcertedly, "The military situation is urgent, you'd better go on the road earlier, and give Cui Xianzi and Ren Chengwang the order of the general as soon as possible, and I won't leave you alone..."

Let's go and see... Is Yuan Yi really hopeless?

Yuan Qin's expression darkened, his lips moved subconsciously a few times, but in the end he just let out a long sigh: "Your Highness, take care!"

Hearing the sound of footsteps going away, and hearing the movement of the hall door closing, Yuan Yi seemed to have his bones taken away from him, and collapsed. Tears flowed down like a flood that burst an embankment, and there was a "chichi" sound in his throat. , as if a monster roared: "Brother Huang, Xuanren is not talented, and he will finally live up to the expectations, and death is not a pity..."

After crying for a while, he gritted his teeth and cursed, "If Gao Ying and Yuan Cheng hadn't insisted on going their own way and acting against the law, forcing Li Chengzhi to rebel, it would be far from the situation... These two thieves are the sinners of my Yuan family through the ages... ..."

Crying and crying, and hearing "uh" again, Yuan Yi felt a sudden pain in his chest, like a needle prick.His throat swelled, his mouth was fishy and salty, and he subconsciously wiped it with his hand, the palm of his hand was stained red...

……

Yuan Qin walked out of the state office in a daze, like a walking dead.

Even Yuan Yi's honest and honest disposition has not covered up his criticism of Yuan Cheng, and even reveals his resentment towards the Queen Mother. What about the other important ministers and good generals?

Not to mention Han Chen Han generals, I am afraid that they have long been disappointed with the court.

Is it true that we have reached the end of the mountain and have nowhere to go?

The more I walked, the more disturbed I became, just like a mess.After walking for an unknown amount of time, Yuan Qin suddenly woke up when he heard the sound of a gong.

Looking up, the city is in chaos.There were shouts and curses everywhere.Taking a closer look, it seems that the generals are forcibly conscripting men from various households and ordering them to go to the city to help the soldiers defend the city.

Yuan Qin was shocked: "Could it be that there are enemies coming?"

The confidant glanced left and right, leaned into Yuanqin's ear, and said in a low voice: "A moment ago, the governor of Xingdu sent an envoy to report, saying that Yuanzhou (formerly Gaoping Town) made an urgent report, and Naowei County (now Jingtai County) It has been lost yesterday, and the rebels have stationed troops in Dahe, confronting the soldiers of Yuanzhou County across the river...

What's more, another route of enemy troops was heading up Hebei, and arrived in Fuping in the morning, only two or three hundred miles away.Therefore, Dudu Xing suggested to us that if we go south, it is best not to cross the river, so as not to be taken advantage of by the enemy... At that time, my subordinates saw that the county magistrate was deeply worried, so he did not dare to be alarmed..."

Yuan Qin's eyes popped sharply: why so fast?

Laowei County belongs to Yuanzhou (formerly Gaoping Town), just on the bank of the Dahe River.Once the Xihai army crossed the river, they would reach the hinterland of Longxi, which was separated from Guanzhong by a Longshan Mountain.If Longshan couldn't hold on, wouldn't Qinchuan let him gallop thousands of miles away?

In addition to being horrified, Yuan Qin felt a tinge of admiration in his heart: In terms of anticipating the enemy's opportunities, Yuan Yao is much better than Yuan Cheng.

If he hadn't urgently ordered the states and counties along the river to take strict precautions, maybe it would have been taken advantage of by Xihai, and now he has already forcibly crossed the river.

And as long as the few ferries on the east bank are guarded, the pontoon bridges are burned, and the ships are confiscated, the west sea can only look at the river and sigh.

Thinking secretly, Yuan Qin's heart tightened: "Quickly prepare your horse, follow me to send a message to Cui Xianzi..."

The confidant responded respectfully, and said again: "This is nearly a thousand miles away. If it takes day and night, how can the county magistrate bear it? It's better to write a handwritten letter from the county magistrate, and the general will do it for you, and send it to Dudu Cui urgently for [-] li. ?”

I was flattering, but I didn't want to be photographed on the horse's hoof.Yuan Qin glared, and reprimanded coldly: "Just do it, if you dare to make noise again, you will definitely be killed!"

Regardless of Yuan Yao, why did he only pass on the military order in the letter, but didn't mention the rest of the story?

What I am afraid of is that the soldiers will learn the truth and disturb the morale of the army.

Looking at Li Xian again, he ran away with only one breath left, and he still didn't dare to give the general's order to others, it was the same reason.

The same is true for Yuan Qin: Even if he is exhausted, he will never dare to leak a word of his general feelings.Otherwise, everyone will say gold, and the morale of the army will definitely drop to the end.

At that time, there is no need to fight this battle.I'm afraid that if they hear the name of the Xihai army, the soldiers will run away...

Not long after, the cronies brought the horses, and a group of more than a hundred riders went straight to the east, crossed the big river from Liziyuan, and then galloped along the east bank of the big river to Yuzhong.

……

Strange things happen every year, especially this year.

Standing on the city wall of Zicheng County (now Gaolan, Gansu), Li Liang glanced at the rolling river and then to the north, his eyes full of doubts.

Cui Yanbo was defeated in Shanshan, and the counties in Jincheng County have also heard the news one after another.Even an army of 30 can't stop the Xihai army. There are hundreds of soldiers in the county. How long can the dilapidated and dilapidated county walls last?

Therefore, the army did not arrive, or the gate of the city had already been opened, and the officials had already fled without knowing where they were going.Or put on a show on the city, as long as the army puts on a posture of attacking the city, they will all surrender.

Therefore, Li Liang took three counties in a row for several days, which was not generally smooth.

But when Zicheng County was taken down and the partial division was sent to Naowei County, which was less than [-] li away, someone had already taken the lead.

Looking at the banner again, he is actually a soldier of the West Sea?

Pioneer didn't dare to be negligent, so he sent Tang Qi to Li Liang Bingzou before he went up to ask about the origin.

Li Liang was naturally astonished, so he stood on the top of the city and waited for the forward to report.

At first, he thought that it was Huangfu who let him do it, but maybe because of the delay in the order, there was a mistake.But the second batch of Tangqi came to report, claiming that the flag with the word "Xi" was erected on the county town of Laowei.

Counting Xihai, there is only Daxi with the surname Xi, only this family, no semicolon.

This made Li Liang even more surprised: How dare Mr. Lang let Daxi lead the army alone?
