Although the enemy's offensive has now shifted to the direction of Jinzhou, it does not mean that Heluo has calmed down. Traitors such as Sima Xiaonan in northern Yuzhou still exist, and the Western Wei forces in western Henan are also active.
As the guard of Heyang, Hu Luguang cannot leave the town privately under such circumstances. He still needs to stay here. However, as the main force of the Wei army heads to Jinzhou, this place is destined to become a secondary battlefield. Hu Luguang
Lu Guang's thoughts naturally did not lie in this, and he was unwilling to be on the edge in the upcoming war.
In order to fight for the opportunity to fight, Hu Luguang sent Heyang Military Affairs to the Ministry of Military Affairs and rushed to Yedu himself, hoping to persuade Changshan King Gaoyan to support his plan to deal with the enemy.
Because Hu Luguang was not summoned to return, he naturally did not dare to enter Yedu in a grand manner. He did not send his accompanying soldiers to the palace of Changshan King until they were outside the city of Yedu to ask for a report.
During this period, Gao Yan had been presiding over the military affairs of the capital in the imperial city. When he heard the report from his slaves, he found out that Hu Luguang had secretly returned to Yedu. After learning about this, Gao Yan couldn't help but be shocked, but since
Everyone had already come back, and it would be better to drive them away again without even seeing them, so he ordered his servants to lead Hu Luguang to another property outside the city for resettlement first, and wait until he finished his official duties.
See you again.
"The King of Xianyang has returned in a hurry. Is the situation in Heyang serious?"
In the evening, Gao Yan had to rush out of the city to meet Hu Luguang. Because he was somewhat complaining about Hu Luguang's reckless behavior, his tone was not as friendly and polite as before. After meeting, he spoke in a questioning tone.
Hu Luguang also understood that his approach was somewhat inappropriate, but in order to gain the opportunity to express his opinions, he did not care so much, so he quickly said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that everything is as usual in Heluo and there is nothing major."
Noisy. After the former division and brigade recalled to Yedu, the war in northern Yuzhou has also been suspended. The last general stayed in the town without incident, so he packed up his horse quickly and returned quickly to see you."
"Even if there is nothing going on in Bianzhong, it is wartime and the king is the general in Bianzhong, so he cannot act rashly!"
After Gao Yan heard this, he still frowned and said.
Hu Luguang knew that Gao Yan was willing to come to see him, which meant that he was not unwilling to accept his behavior, but was mainly worried about confidentiality issues, so he quickly said: "The king's teachings will be engraved in my heart. I will return to the capital this time.
Without daring to show off in front of others, the governor is only a few close friends. The reason why he hastily asked for an audience without waiting for an order is because he is worried about the state affairs and is afraid of missing the opportunity!"
When Gao Yan heard this, his expression improved slightly, and then he asked in a deep voice: "The Supreme Lord has ordered the Yedu Division to march under the command of King Biji Pingyuan to attack the Qiang bandits. Does the King have any other opinions on the current military?"
After hearing this, Hu Luguang nodded directly, then looked at Gao Yanfa and asked: "According to what the king sees, which one is stronger and which is weaker militarily between me and the thieves?"
After hearing this question, Gao Yan said without thinking much: "Although I have never been involved in military affairs, I also know that the thieves are weak and we are strong for a long time. Hebei is a vast land and the people are rich, and Jinyang has strong soldiers and horses. Although the thieves have been strong in recent years,
It has improved, but the national wealth is still incomparable to mine. But the leader of the Qiang, Li Boshan, is too fierce and cunning, always acts unexpectedly, and uses deceit to steal power, which makes me passive."
Although the invasion of the Western Wei Dynasty caused a bit of trouble during this period, Gao Yan still refused to admit defeat when it came to the comparison of strengths between the two. This was not blind arrogance, but due to the long-term balance of power since the split between the East and the West, the people of the Eastern Dynasty
Confidence that comes naturally.
After listening to Gao Yan's answer, Hu Luguang also nodded and said: "Yes, the east has been strong and the west has been weak for a long time. The reason why it is now passive is because the Qiang thieves are cunning and take advantage of opportunities, not me.
It is caused by the lack of power. The thieves are not unmatched and invincible. However, the thieves Li Boshan are extremely cunning and need to be vigilant. They are by no means an enemy that can be defeated easily. If you want to win, you need a strategy. According to what the king sees, Pingyuan
What are the chances of the king winning here?"
After Gao Yan heard this question, he thought for a long time and then said again: "According to King Changle's urgent letter, the thieves now have more than 300,000 people besieging Jinzhou City. Even if the statement is inaccurate, it must be true.
There are tens of thousands of people. But now, even if the king of Pingyuan gathers the troops from Yedu, he still has less than a hundred thousand troops. His military strength is already insufficient, and he is also at a disadvantage. If he wants to win, it may not be easy."
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, then looked at Hu Luguang and sighed and said: "On the day when Wang Xin was dismissed from the army, I visited him. At that time, the king had seen things in Jinzhou and asked for orders. I
He also wildly said that he would appeal to the king, but the result is still... Alas, the situation today is like this. Although it is due to the Qiang thieves' advance, if we talk about the past, it is not because we, the people, underestimated the enemy!"
"It is useless to talk about the past. The Kuang Guan thieves easily entered Fenqu and besieged Pingyang. This shows that the plot is not short-term. Even if the general leaves at that time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to reverse the conspiracy that the Qiang thieves have been operating all year round in a short time. It will still be unavoidable by then.
Trapped.”
Hu Luguang also sighed deeply, and then said seriously: "Not only does the king see this, but the general also thinks that the Pingyuan King has a slim chance of winning this time when he sends his troops to fight. Li Boshan is definitely an extraordinary person, and now he has taken the lead with his surprise troops.
It is absolutely impossible to defeat this opportunity with ordinary methods. We must also respond with surprise troops to slightly increase our chances of victory!"
When Gao Yan heard this, his spirit suddenly shook. Then he looked at Hu Luguang and asked quickly: "Where are the Qi soldiers?"
"Zhi Guan goes east to Qiziling, which has always been difficult to defend because of its rugged mountains. The western thief Yang Gu has been in Shao County for a long time and often invades our borders. When the last general found out where the thief was, he immediately sent scouts to the west to investigate and found out.
Yang Jue has also left the country and headed north..."
When Hu Luguang was in Heyang, he had told Duan Shao about the idea of disturbing the enemy's retreat, but Duan Shao did not agree at that time, and Hu Luguang also did not give up the idea, and had already sent scouts there.
Inquire about the enemy.
Gao Yan frowned when he heard Hu Luguang's idea and pondered: "This plan goes deep behind enemy lines and requires trekking through the mountains. Is it too dangerous?"
"How can there be a perfect strategy for all military strategies? There is a gap in the rear of the thieves, which I can take advantage of. If we can attack the rear, even if there are millions of divisions in front, the morale of the army will be unstable and it will be difficult to fight. What's more, since Shao
The county passes Guzhong Road, which is the heart of the east of the river. If it can be disturbed, the harm will be particularly serious to my Jinzhou."
Hu Luguang also weighed this for a long time. After hearing what Gao Yan said, he said in a deep voice: "If this happens, the rebel army will inevitably collapse. Even if Li Boshan has many tricks, it will be difficult to prevent the defeat."
At that time, all the armies in the north will launch a counterattack. They will not only be able to defeat the enemy, but also sweep across the east of the river, and even march into Guanzhong! If the plan fails, the only casualties will be the general and his thousands of divisions.
Great harm.
The last general hated his country and his family, was sworn in with the thieves, and often wanted to support him and die together. Even if the Heyang brigade was transferred to the north, it would only be a little more powerful for the king of Pingyuan. If the battle failed, there might be more than ten thousand people lying in the wilderness.
, but if it is left to the command of the last general, it may be possible to have the effect of a small and powerful surprise army. What choice should be made, King Fuwei will make a wise decision, and there is no doubt!"
When Gao Yan heard this, he couldn't help but be very moved. Yes, even if he transferred the Heyang Division to the north to strengthen Duan Shao, it would not have any decisive effect.
But if the Heyang men and horses are allowed to follow Hu Luguang to attack the enemy's rear route, and if it goes through, it will not only relieve the current crisis, but even reverse the confrontation between the East and the West in recent years. The harvest will be coveted.
.
After weighing it in his mind, Gao Yancai looked at Hu Luguang and said: "Brother Mingyue has such a grand plan, which is really admirable. If I refuse to help this matter, I will let down my sincere and generous blood."
.However, how can my brother be so talented and strong that he is determined to die just because of one battle!
Killing the thieves and guards is a duty that cannot be shied away from, and it is also a responsibility that cannot be shied away from to establish a family heir. Brother Mingyue can lead everyone to fight, but please promise me that no matter whether you win or lose this battle, you will come back to see me safely! Otherwise, even if you are killed in one battle,
Qiang thieves, I am not overjoyed either!"
Hu Luguang returned to the capital this time to ask for a battle. It was true that he had a secret desire to die in his heart and wanted to severely injure his old enemy at any cost. However, when he heard that King Changshan was so concerned about his safety, he was deeply moved and hurriedly stood up and paid homage deeply.
: "How lucky I am to have such great love for you, Your Majesty! Please rest assured, Your Majesty, no matter what I go through, I will definitely live up to this affectionate message!"
After the two parties made a plan, Gao Yan wanted to keep Hu Luguang to rest for a night in Bieye. Hu Luguang, citing the urgent military situation and fearing that the opportunity would be fleeting, decided to return to Heyang to prepare for action, so Gao Yan went there.
He could only leave Yedu at night and return to Heyang.
To mobilize the troops from Heyang, Gao Yan still needs to give an order in the name of the governor of Gyeonggi who will stay in Yedu. However, a few days ago, Gao Yan just ordered the troops from Heyang to be transferred back to Yedu, and now he wants to issue an order without any warning.
Conflicting orders naturally require an explanation.
So Gao Yan asked the officials to compile what Hu Luguang said last night into a memorial, and included it in the Gyeonggi Metropolitan Governor's Mansion as a basis for making this military order. And Hu Luguang's memorial also
It cannot appear in the official office out of thin air, so it is necessary to make up a record of the Heyang envoy entering the court in Shangshu Province.
There are a lot of personnel exchanges in Shangshu Province every day. Such a record of people entering the province is really inconspicuous, and basically no one will notice it. But sometimes, when something goes wrong, no matter how hard it is, it can't be covered up.
At this sensitive time, Changguang King Gao Zhan had previously proposed to monitor a group of Han ministers to prevent them from using their power to cause chaos. Including Yang Min, the minister's power was also greatly restricted, and many important affairs were assigned to the desk of the two kings who recorded the minister's affairs.
, he was a little idle every day at the office, and looking through some personnel records in the Shangshu Province became the main way for him to pass the time.
Yang Min had been the prime minister for a long time, and he had outstanding intelligence and outstanding memory. A record of personnel entering the court suddenly appeared in the civil records of Shangshu Province that had been sealed yesterday. Although the matter was not serious, it could not be hidden from Yang Min's eyes.
