Although he is now the deputy general of the Shence Camp and Li Kan is the imperial censor, and they belong to different families, the relationship between the two is naturally different, and Feng Yin still practices enough etiquette.
"Yin is coming." Li Kan went to the Caoting to greet him personally, and then introduced Feng Yin into his home. Kan's wife Hu also came out to meet him, and then ordered people to make tea.
"Today I withdraw from the imperial court. I know that the affairs of the country are no longer possible." After a long sigh, Li Kan's eyes dimmed and he sighed: "I ordered Zhang Chengfan to lead his army eastward, but the weapons were dull and inferior, and there was no food and grass. Zhang Chengfan tried his best to get food and grass.
When it came to the reinforcements, it was said, "Your Majesty, please go ahead, and the troops will arrive." He also said, "You and Zheng have intercepted and set up the capital to command Qi Kerang. Ten thousand people under his command have arrived outside Tongguan, so they can help each other." Zhang Chengfan was unhappy.
, received the vanguard envoy of troops and horses, and the envoy's seal and petition to set up the Jietong Pass, and then left. There are 2,800 crossbowmen, and it would be good to have 300 who can fight."
By asking you to leave with damaged and unusable equipment and without enough food and grass, and by lying to you that follow-up reinforcements will be coming soon, you are asking Zhang Chengfan to die. Feng Yin couldn't help but sympathize with General Zhang, whom he had never met before.
, there are more than ten generals in the Shence Camp, why did they choose you?
"When will Huang Chao move westward?" Feng Yin asked with great concern.
"Last month, Qi Kerang reported that Huang Chao sent an ultimatum to the troops in Henan, saying that they wanted to attack the eastern capital and then go to the capital to question the emperor and his ministers. No one else was involved, and he ordered them to defend their camps and not to attack their troops. Now he is here
The army has entered the territory of Dongdu, and Liu Yunzhang was left behind to lead a hundred officials to greet him. Chao's army entered the city and did not commit any crimes in the autumn of Luoyang. This is a great ambition. It will only take ten months to enter Guanzhong." Li Kan said with a slight sarcasm, as if
He was laughing at Liu Yunzhang for bending his knees to become a thief.
"Is the court prepared?" Feng Yin clenched his fists unconsciously. The Henan armies let go of their troops and refused to fight. This was very similar to the rebellion between Li Guochang and his son in Hedong.
Li Kan glanced at Feng Yin, and the meaning was very clear in his eyes. He gave three empty titles, Zhang Chengfan was appointed as the envoy of Jietong Pass, Wang Shihui was appointed as the envoy of the grain fortress, and Zhao Ke was appointed as the envoy of the Huzhao Gate, but the troops sent out were few.
There were only those 2,800 people, and there were more than 10,000 soldiers and horses brought by Qi Kerang, the former Taining military governor, outside Tongguan, and then they disappeared.
The soldiers are unable to fight, and they have no food, grass, or equipment. How can we defend Tongguan? It is a hundred times more difficult than Ge Shuhan's battle.
"Where are the eight towns in the northwest of Beijing?"
"The sage has ordered Tian Lingzi to be the commander of the left and right armies. He has commanded the eight towns inside and outside as well as all the troops and horses to recruit envoys. Yang Fugong, the flying dragon envoy, has been appointed as the deputy envoy to mobilize the troops and horses in each town to assist the capital. However, there is no food and grass in the capital.
, reward, how can the armies do it?" Li Kan's mouth was still so unforgiving, and he showed no mercy when talking about others: "The imperial court also ordered Hedong Festival Commander Zheng Congyun to hand over military power to Xia Sui Festival Commander Zhuge Shuang and his generation.
Zhu Mei, the governor of the state, led the Hedong army southward to fight against the thieves. By the way, he returned to the fields and ordered Zi to control him. This generation has the title of Ru, Luo, Jin, Jiang, Tong, and Hua Dutong."
"Xia Sui?" Feng Yin thought of Shao Shude and asked, "Will Xia Sui's army go south?"
"They should be going south. Although Zhuge Shuang is leading troops from Hedong this time, how can he suppress the generals from Hedong without Xia Sui's troops in hand?"
"When will the edict be issued?"
"The edict has not been issued yet, but it will only happen in the past few days."
Feng Yin seemed to have some realization. After a while, seeing that Li Kan had no expression on his face, he mustered up the courage to say, "Doctor, can you give me some advice?"
The words were unclear, but Li Kan still understood. He glanced at Feng Yin with a half-smile and said, "Once Zhuge Shuang leaves, the four states will be left without an owner. There must be someone who knows what Xia Sui is doing. Is this what Yin means?"
When it came to this matter, Feng Yin stopped being secretive and said: "Doctor, Xia Sui is an important place and the soldiers are not strong enough to fight. If there is no one to control it, there will be trouble, let alone go south to be loyal to the king."
"Yang Yue, the military envoy, and Tuoba Sigong, the governor of Youzhou, are good choices, aren't they?"
"Doctor, please don't tease me." Feng Yin said anxiously: "We have no friendship with this person. Shude has done a lot of work in Hedong, and he is very respectful to the doctor. He doesn't look like an ungrateful person. Doctor Why not go along with the flow and earn some favors, which will be of great use in the future."
"This is difficult, and it's not in line with the rules." Li Kan sighed.
"But even if the princes don't allow it, once Zhuge Shuang is defeated and dies in the future, the first thing the court will think of will be Shude." Feng Yin said eagerly: "This is a good opportunity to show kindness."
Li Kan was a little hesitant when he heard this. When he was in Chijie Hedong, Shao Shude worked as his minion for a while, but later became estranged, and even took the route of Qiu Weidao to Suizhou, which made him a little upset. But Xuan recalled the time when he left Jinyang. , no one saw him off, but Shao Shude personally led the horse for him, and Li Kan was a little moved.
Fengyin is right, Shao Shude is not an ungrateful person. After surrendering to him, he did not forget the agreement with Qiu Weidao. This is a sign of longing for old kindness. Forget it, how can Yang Yue, Tuoba Sigong and others think of his own benefits? This is Really, only Shao Shude can accept favors and can best give good returns.
"We should go to Suizhou and Xiazhou as soon as possible. This matter is urgent. My family has a farm in Fuping County, so I can stay in your home temporarily. Let's go home and tidy up, and head north as soon as possible." After a while, Li Kan finally made up his mind. He made up his mind and said: "This matter has only been agreed upon today and has not yet been officially issued an edict. It is better to do it quickly rather than later. In addition, there is no need to expect too much. As soon as Zhuge Shuang left, he chose another general, Quan Zhi, Xia Suijie to handle the matter. Isn't this right? Forcing others to rebel? The court will not allow it. All that can be done now is to let the saints know that there is a person like Shu De. Otherwise, Zhuge Shuang will die the next day and the first person to take over the throne will be Yang Yue or Tuoba Sigong. "
"With a population of 600,000, can it be defeated in a short period of time?" Finally, Li Kan whispered: "There are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the eight towns northwest of Beijing. Not all of them are willing to fight to the death. Once the war is unfavorable, the court will change its generals. This is the time. Good opportunity.”
"Thank you, doctor, for your advice." Feng Yin stopped drinking tea and left directly.
This matter is indeed important. For Shao Shude, it is undoubtedly a big hurdle in life. Once he has crossed it, the world will be brighter. If he had not crossed it and let Yang Yue and Tuoba Sigong gain the power of Xia Sui, they would have wasted many years. .
You really should go to Xiazhou! After Qiu Weidao, the supervisor of the army, knows about it, he should know what to do.
Now that Zheng Tian is appointed as the military governor of Fengxiang Longyou, how can Ximen Sigong not be happy if he gets another 20,000 soldiers from Xia Sui Town? Moreover, Tian Lingzi and Yang Fugong will probably not stop him. They value the troops near Chang'an.
Several towns, Xia Sui Town in Hengshan, across the desert from the capital, are somewhat undervalued.
Of course, the above is the most ideal situation, and the possibility is too low. But Fengyin has now changed his mind. Shao Shude is indeed far behind Yang Yue and Tuoba Sigong in the ranking of Xia Suijie, but it doesn't matter.
Let’s lay the groundwork now. Once he makes some achievements in Guanzhong and Zhuge Shuang does something else, he will have a chance.
There are only two things to do now. One is to let Shao Shude know in advance that Zhuge Shuang is going to lead the Hedong soldiers to fight against the thieves. The other is to let Shao Shude not go out with him and stay in the town to wait and see, waiting for the best time to enter.
I hurried back home. My younger sister, Feng Du, was chatting and laughing with my wife, Mrs. Liu. She seemed to have forgotten yesterday's sorrow. That was good. I was busy with big things now, so I was too lazy to get involved in the trivial matter between her and Wei Kui.
.
"Madam, what did my uncle say?" Feng Yin took a bow from the wall and asked directly.
"Grandpa agreed. Where are you going, Mr. Liu?" Ms. Liu asked in surprise.
"Don't ask." Feng Yin whispered: "I have to go on a long journey. It's urgent. You take the children to your uncle's house first, and then take my letter to Dr. Li. He will send someone to arrange for you to go to Fuping.
.”
"Are you going to Fuping for temporary refuge?"
Feng Yin nodded and said: "Congmei is also going. Yin Secret School's family has also sent someone to inform him. It's up to him whether to go or not. I am in the capital, and there are only a few relatives here."
Mrs. Liu was also a sensible person, and knew that her husband was planning big things, so she said: "Husband, go alone, don't worry about home. If you feel that the road is not peaceful, you can go to Liu's house. My second brother, third brother, and fifth brother are all familiar with each other."
With his military skills and tight-lipped nature, he should be able to help me."
Feng Yin thought for a moment, as if thinking about the daily behavior of his in-laws. He knew that they were all taciturn people, and at the same time they could earn favors from Shao Shude, so he nodded and said: "But... the road is really not good.
Let’s go, it would be good to have a few more people, so let’s go.”
Fengyin hurriedly went to his father-in-law's house and found several Liu brothers. They were all junior officials at the top of the Shence Camp Squadron, but the Yue family was very strict in controlling their affairs.
Hearing that Fengyin said there was something big to do, he was always steady, so he immediately agreed. A few people hurriedly grabbed dry food and weapons, then rode their horses out of the city, heading straight north towards Yifang Town.
Fengyin's heart was full of fire. The world was in turmoil, and it was a time when heroes used force. He was really not optimistic about whether Zhuge Shuang could deal with Huang Chao. He might die after a few defeats. If Shao Shude could succeed Zhuge Shuang
If they successfully control the four states of Xia Sui and have 20,000 elite troops, then they are a group of princes. Even if Huang Chao captures all of Guanzhong, they still have a way to retreat. Between Xia Sui and Guanzhong, there are Hengshan and desert barriers. As long as they occupy the area where the springs protrude
If they send cavalry to harass the land day and night, the expeditionary army will inevitably be exhausted and eventually collapse.
Taking a step back 10,000 steps, Huang Chao gained power, proclaimed himself the emperor and founded the country, and conquered the four states without losing his position as a prince. Isn't this wealth in vain? Shao Shude was nostalgic for his old friendship and revealed the news at the critical moment.
Feng Shi can also use this to preserve the family, and even go one step further, why not?
