Chapter five hundred and twentieth eight secret fornication
Kou Xun was not good at commanding troops to fight, but managing government affairs was his strength. However, in the battle of Hanoi, Kou Xun showed his sharp wit.
When Feng Yi arrived with reinforcements, Kou Xun immediately shouted out that it was Liu Xiu who was leading the reinforcements.
The false news he deliberately released on the battlefield greatly boosted the morale of the Hanoi army, but caused the morale of the Luoyang army to fall to the bottom. Under this situation, Kou Xun and Feng Yijian defeated 50,000 Luoyang troops with inferior troops.
Elite military.
After the Luoyang army was defeated, Su Mao and Jia Qiang led the remnants of less than 10,000 troops and fled back to Henan in a hurry. However, what everyone did not expect was that Kou Xun and Feng Yi actually led the Hanoi army to cross the Yellow River and pursue them.
Enter Henan.
Forced into desperation, Su Mao and Jia Qiang could only bite the bullet and lead the remnants of their troops to another confrontation with Kou Xun and Feng Yi in Henan.
Not surprisingly, this battle still ended with the Luoyang army's defeat. Even Jia Qiang died among the rebels.
Su Mao fled back to Luoyang almost as a mere commander.
Kou Xun and Feng Yi led the Hanoi army and continued to pursue the victory until they reached Luoyang City. The defeated Su Mao was now completely frightened by Kou Xun and Feng Yi. Even Zhu Tuna, Li Yi and others were panicked.
.
The gates of Luoyang City were closed tightly, and Zhu Tuna, Li Yi and others could not avoid the battle. Now, the situation on the battlefield was very strange.
Kou Xun and Feng Yi had a full attack with only 20,000 troops. On the other hand, there were more than 200,000 troops in Luoyang City, but only 20,000 troops frightened the more than 200,000 troops in Luoyang City.
One person dares to go out of the city to fight.
Su Mao's explanation after his defeat was that Liu Xiu suddenly led the main army and retreated from the north to Hanoi. His side suffered such a defeat because it was outnumbered.
Both Zhu Tuna and Li Yi believed that the more than 20,000 enemy troops outside the city were just a cover, and that the enemy's real trump card was the main army led by Liu Xiu.
Now they are just hiding in the dark. Due to this concern, Zhu Jun, Li Yi and others dare not go out of the city to fight.
Kou Xun and Feng Yi led their troops and horses and circled three times outside Luoyang City. Then, they proudly led their troops and horses back to Hanoi.
After this battle, Luoyang was completely frightened. Zhu Tuna and Li Yi had no idea about Hanoi anymore, and they did not dare to send troops to attack Hanoi again.
Zhu Tuna and Li Yi had no idea about Hanoi, but now, Feng Yi began to have a lot of thoughts about Zhu Tuna and Li Yi. Zhu Tuna and Li Yi were not in harmony on the surface. Zhu Tuna was the Grand Sima, and Li Yi was
King Wuyang, they both guard Henan and are in charge of more than 200,000 troops in Luoyang. There is a very subtle relationship here, who should hear about whom.
In terms of official position, Zhu Jun must be higher. After all, he is the Great Sima. But in terms of title, Li Yi is higher. He is a majestic prince. Those with high official titles have lower titles, while those with higher titles have lower official titles. wavv
In addition, Zhu Tuna and Li Yi were not open-minded people. Based on these aspects, Feng Yi judged that the relationship between Zhu Tuna and Li Yi was superficially harmonious at best, but in fact it must be full of contradictions.
Realizing this, Feng Yi secretly wrote a letter to Li Yi.
The content of this letter is very long. At the beginning of the letter, Feng Yi told several allusions, such as Wei Zi abandoning the Yin Shang Dynasty and joining the Zhou Dynasty, Xiang Bo betraying Xiang Yu and joining Liu Bang, Wang Bo supporting the throne and deposing the young emperor, and Huo Guang
Respect Xiao Xuan and discard Liu He. The examples he cited only want to illustrate one thing: good birds choose trees to roost, good ministers choose their masters to serve, and as ministers, they should obey the laws of heaven. Only in this way can great achievements be achieved.
.
But what about now? Liu Xuan is mediocre, the imperial court is in chaos, treacherous ministers are in power, virtuous ministers are executed, and Red Eyebrow is even more menacing, and has already reached the outskirts of Chang'an. Do you still want to fight to the death to protect such an emperor?
If Liu Xuan could still be saved, if the reform of the imperial court could still turn the tide, why would you, Li Yi, be restricted to Luoyang and live in a corner?
The most urgent thing is that you should imitate the ancient sages, imitate Wei Zi, imitate Xiang Bo, abandon darkness and embrace the light. In today's world, the Han Dynasty is weak and different surnames are on the rise. The only one who can restore the Han Dynasty and revive the Han Dynasty is King Xiao.
Now King Xiao is running Hebei, suppressing rebellions, reviving all industries, heroes and heroes have come to join him one after another, and everyone in the world is popular with him.
King Xiao's power is at its peak and is already unstoppable. If you still defend Liu Xuan and Luoyang to the death, you will regret it too late when our fierce generals approach the city!
There are two roads before you now, one is life, the other is death. Abandon the darkness and surrender to the light, surrender to Prince Xiao, you will be a hero in this world, with a bright future; protect Liu Xuan to the death, loyal to the new era, your body will be shattered, and you will die without a burial place.
Feng Yi's letter was written with emotion and reason. It not only talked about Li Yi's feelings for the comrades who jointly rebelled against the recklessness in the past, but also gave him threats and warnings about his current actions.
This letter was successfully delivered to Li Yi. Li Yi read the letter from beginning to end, taking a deep breath and breaking into a cold sweat.
Liu Xuan was dying. Li Yi could see this. Liu Xiu was flourishing in Hebei and he could see it even more. After thinking about it, he felt that what Feng Yi said in the letter was not unreasonable.
Just asking him to surrender to Liu Xiu made him full of worries. Quite simply, one of the real culprits behind Liu Xiu's death was Li Yi. There was a brother-killing feud between him and Liu Xiu.
If the relationship between Liu and Liu Xiu was average, it would be okay. But the problem is that Liu and Liu Xiu have a very good relationship and have a deep brotherly love. As one of the culprits who killed his eldest brother, can Liu Xiu let him go?
After thinking about it carefully, Li Yi secretly shook his head, fearing that Liu Xiu might not let him go as the culprit!
Li Yi wrote a reply to Feng Yi. His reply was very polite. The beginning of the letter was about his friendship with Feng Yi.
Back then, they were the first veterans to join the Zhu Tiandu Tribe. They fought against the enemy together and fought side by side. They went through life and death many times, shed blood and sweat many times, and finally laid the foundation for what we are today.
Now, I am ordered to guard Luoyang, and you, Gongsun, are ordered to guard Mengjin.
Luoyang and Mengjin are both important passes in the Central Plains. If you and I can cooperate sincerely and plan together, we will not only be able to protect ourselves, but also if there is an invasion by an army of thieves, we will definitely win the battle!
At the end of the letter, Li Yi finally said what he wanted to say, hoping that Feng Yi could convey his words to Liu Xiu and ask Liu Xiu to believe him. He had always aimed to help the Han Dynasty, and his original intention had never changed.
Then, it is the same now.
Li Yi's letter was written very well. He did not clearly state that he was willing to submit to Liu Xiu, but said that he had been doing his best to help the Han Dynasty.
Liu Xuan represents the Han Dynasty, and Liu Xiu also represents the Han Dynasty. The implication is that Li Yi can assist Liu Xuan, and of course he can also assist Liu Xiu, as long as Liu Xiu can ignore the past grudges and tolerate
Get off him.
Feng Yi was very happy to receive this reply from Li Yi. The letters between the two got off to a good start, and then the exchange of letters became more frequent.
Feng Yi didn't just write letters with Li Yi. During the period, he also tested Li Yi. Feng Yi recruited troops from Hanoi and Weijun, sent troops to Tianjing Pass, and sent troops to Dangjun.
Shangdang County belongs to Bingzhou, located to the north of Hanoi. Feng Yi specially sent troops to attack Tianjing Pass to test whether Li Yi's desire to submit to his side was true or false.
Tianjingguan is the gateway to Shangdang County, located on the Taihang Mountains.
Now that Feng Yi sent troops from two counties to attack Tianjing Pass, Hanoi was naturally empty. But Li Yi, who was in Luoyang, seemed to be unaware of this and kept his troops stationary, with no intention of taking advantage of the opportunity to attack Hanoi.
With no worries, it didn't take long for the Hanoi army and the Wei army to join forces to capture Tianjing Pass. Then they left the pass and headed north, entering Shangdang County, and captured two Shangdang cities in succession.
Regarding the war in the north, Li Yi still pretended to be deaf and indifferent, as if Feng Yi sent troops to attack Shangdang County and had nothing to do with him.
During this period, Zhu Tung suggested that he should send troops to Hanoi now. Li Yi immediately stood up and strongly opposed it, thinking that if Feng Yi dared to send troops to attack Shangdang, Hanoi must have been prepared. Otherwise, the main force of Liu Xiujun would be ambushed in Hanoi.
If we rush to send troops, we are likely to make the same mistake again.
After listening to Li Yi's threats, none of the Luoyang generals dared to lead troops to attack Hanoi. Zhu Tuna himself felt a chill running down his spine and did not dare to send troops rashly. His proposal to send troops to Hanoi ended up being nothing.
.
After Shangdang captured two cities, Feng Yi stopped advancing northward. Now, he had some confidence in Li Yi's surrender.
Bingzhou is not a strategic location, at least in one's own offensive sequence, Bingzhou must be ranked very low.
What Feng Yi, and even Liu Xiu, really want now is Henan. Henan and Hebei are connected with each other. Now that they have control of Hebei, if they can control Henan as well, the Central Plains will become their own.
things.
After realizing that Li Yi did intend to surrender, Feng Yi planned to personally lead the Hanoi Army and the Wei Army across the Yellow River and approach Henan. Before sending troops, he sent a letter to Liu Xiu, telling him and
All of Li Yi's correspondence during this period were handed over to Liu Xiu for review, to prove that Li Yi was indeed willing to surrender.
At present, Liu Xiu has won the battle in Youzhou, annihilating the three rebel armies of Youlai, Daqiang, and Wuban. He briefly stationed and rested in Jicheng, and then headed south.
Jicheng used to be the capital of Yan State, which is now Beijing.
When the army was marching south, at nightfall, Ma Wu came to meet Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu met Ma Wu and asked with a smile: "Zizhang must have something important to do when he sees me at night!"
Ma Wu coughed dryly and looked a little embarrassed. Instead of smiling, he forced a smile, rubbed his hands and said, "General... I don't have anything important to do. I just have a lot of free time at night, so I wanted to come and see and chat with the king.
"
He had a ferocious appearance, and now he had an unnatural smile on his face, making him even more human-like. Zhao Gui, who was guarding the side, glanced at Ma Wu secretly, and immediately lowered his head again.
Are you still here to chat with me? If you had that time, you would have gone to drink a long time ago! Liu Xiu happily did not point it out and said to Zhao Gui on the side: "Yuan Zhong, go get two jugs of wine."
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Zhao Gui responded and quickly walked out of the tent.
After he left, Liu Xiu asked: "Zizhang, what's the matter? Even if you say it bluntly, there is no need to beat around the bush between us."
Ma Wu took a deep breath, calmed down, and said seriously: "The world is in chaos, and all heroes are fighting together. Even if someone takes Sun Wu and Confucius as generals and wants to sit on the throne of God, it is not enough. But now, for the king, the throne is within easy reach! Opportunity.
Don't lose it, it will never come back! If the king insists on being humble, how can he be worthy of the ancestors of the Han family, and how can he be worthy of the suffering people of the world? At this moment, the king needs to return to Jicheng immediately, ascend to the throne, and then decide who is the traitor! As long as
With a goal in mind, we vow to fight for the king and kill all the traitors in the world!"
Liu Xiu frowned and said: "Why did Zizhang say this? This is going to be beheaded!"
Ma Wu's face straightened and he said confidently: "Your Majesty, this is not the intention of the last general, but all the generals have this intention!"
Liu Xiu glanced at him and remained silent.
Ma Wu said urgently: "Your Majesty"
Liu Xiu waved his hand to him and said: "I already understand the intentions of Zizhang and the generals. If Zizhang came to me just for this matter tonight, you can go back now."
