Chapter 310 Infighting

How to do? On the throne, the little emperor was filled with only these three words.

Only a few days ago, he heard the news of Liu Yuan’s violent death and the Huns’ civil strife. Unexpectedly, as soon as he left Luoyang, the pseudo-Han made a fuss and even wanted to move the capital to Chang’an. This is great news! Once the Xiongnu left Sizhou and went to Guanzhong, Liang Feng would definitely take back half of Sizhou. And how could the Huns let go of their opponents who forced them to escape? When the two strong meet, I am afraid that no one will be able to take care of him. Shouchun New Capital, isn’t it safe?

After waiting for the loss of the two sides, Gou Xi will lead the troops to pacify Yuzhou and Yanzhou. At that time, he will be full of wings and move back to Luoyang. Although Liang Zixi is unreliable, at least he can abide by his duties as a courtier. With a stable Northland, it is the beginning of the reconstruction of the foundation.

With so many thoughts in his heart, the little emperor was so excited that he couldn’t sleep peacefully for several days. Unexpectedly, the situation changes suddenly. That Gou Xi, who has always been invincible and extremely powerful, was so defeated and killed!

What about Shouchun? With these thirty or forty thousand soldiers and horses in hand, can you stop the rebellion?

“Your Majesty! Immediately pass the message and order Jingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou to send troops to help and resist the enemy from outside Huai Shui!” General Liu Zhun said in a loud voice.

After the arrival of the imperial driver, Liu Zhun had a lot of friction with Gou Xi who had come from afar, and he hated Gou Xi long ago! However, Gou Xi’s sudden death was not a good thing. What he took away was a half of the imperial court, and his own strength might not be able to defend Shouchun. The best way is to order the governors of the states to send troops to fight the enemy together.

Not to mention Jing and Xu, Yangzhou Governor Sima Rui has many soldiers in his hands. Doesn’t he dare to come to rescue him at this kind of crisis? It is summer now and the rainfall is plentiful. If there is no boat, it is not so easy to cross the Huai River. As long as there are soldiers, you can block the enemy!

These words awakened the dreamer instantly. The little emperor immediately nodded: “Yes, there is also King Langya! Quickly send envoys to pass on and order him to send troops! Also ask the general to quickly lead the troops to block the bandits!”

Liu Zhun said that he was a person who had put down the civil strife, and he did not shirk off, and took his fist. As long as Shouchun is guarded, no one can rob him of his position in the imperial front.

However, the plan of the people of the imperial court, in the eyes of Sima Rui, was not the case at all.

“Didn’t Gou Xi have led the army of 100,000? Why can’t he stop the two bandits!” When he heard the news, Sima Rui’s heart was half cold.

Before Wang Mi and Shi Le troubled Yu and Yan, more and more gentry packed their bags and fled to their families. In just a few months, more than 60,000 gentry have poured into Yangzhou! This is not a refugee who is being bullied. Huainan County has long been unable to accommodate them, and Lujiang County is also complaining. Many people even crossed the river directly and wanted to establish a foothold in Jiangdong. How can San Wu Zhu’s surname not be angry now? The relationship that finally eased, became tense again. Not to mention the money and food spent to support the emperor. Now that he is sending troops again, wouldn’t it cost him his life? !

On the side, Wang Dun said calmly: “Shouchun said it is also a Jiangdong barrier, and there is an emperor who sits in town. How can you not defend it? But if you send soldiers to conscript, what will happen if the servants come from Huainan?”

Sima Rui was startled and understood what Wang Dun said. Huainan County was originally disturbed by the northerners who moved south, but now it is busy farming season. Conscription and enlistment will inevitably arouse public outrage. The civil upheavals in Jiangdong in the past two years are not rare. Once someone raises an issue, it will immediately lead to chaos!

This is a risky move. If it is not good, you might have to implicate yourself. And if the city breaks in Shouchun and the emperor moves again, what should I do after crossing the river?

As if seeing Sima Rui’s hesitation, Wang Dun said: “The Governor has been overwhelmed. The Emperor was threatened by the King of the East Sea. If he had to be a last resort, I am afraid he would not cross the river. Even if Gou Xi was broken, Shouchun still had his strength. No more consumption. , How can the soldiers and horses of the governor come closer? No matter success or failure, they will not interfere with the governor.”

Wang Dun is no more cold-hearted than Dao Wang, so this strategy is really vicious. If Huainan were to change and Shouchun City would be broken, and the emperor would die, it would be best. On the contrary, even if he could not succeed, he would have exhausted the emperor’s troops, giving Sima Rui a reason to send troops. In this way, the little emperor who has no soldiers and power will become a clay puppet that can be manipulated at will?

Sima Rui swallowed his saliva. This strategy is really bloody, but it may not be a solution: “Who should I send?”

“General Liu used to be the governor of Yuzhou and fought with Wang Mi. It would be great to send him.” Wang Dun smiled slightly.

He said General Liu, naturally referring to Liu Kun. This son is very famous, high-ranking, and also served as the governor of Yuzhou. If it weren’t for the mistake of the East Sea King and the emperor’s hatred, it might still be reused. Such a person is not a way to put him next to Sima Rui. It’s better to take this opportunity to send to Shouchun to kill people with the knife.

Since leaving Langya, his wealth and life have been hanging on Sima Rui. All Wang Dun thinks is how to gain a firm foothold, control this weak and deceptive princess, and achieve his own goals.

However, how does Sima Rui understand this? He nodded again and again, and said: “Just follow the policy!”

The whole Jiangdong is turbulent for the coming enemy. But in Wang Mi’s camp, there was no imaginary killing.

Looking at the messenger standing in front of him respectfully, Wang Mi smiled and said, “General Shi please, why not go?”

Shi Le did a lot of credit for killing Gou Xi before. If he hadn’t set up an ambush, I’m afraid he wouldn’t be able to kill that name. Therefore, Wang Mi pretended to be generous and gave all the credit to Shi Le. Even the battle won, he was divided a lot. Then Wang Mi offered to attack Shouchun with him.

If you can win Shouchun, it would be a great feat. This series of actions really made Shi Le relax his vigilance. Not only was the camp of the two armies closer, but he was also invited to a banquet to discuss plans for the deployment of troops.

However, Wang Mi thought, where is the attack on Shouchun. It was just waiting for Cao Yi to deploy troops and encircle Shile. It is not easy to kill the emperor of Jin, but it is not easy to kill a Jie Nu. He didn’t have the thought of destroying the enemy for Liu Yao. The best way is to enlist Shi Le’s troops and go to Jingzhou. When Jingzhou gets it, most of Beidi will fall into his hands. It is estimated that the Xiongnu will be at war with Bingzhou, and the little emperor shrinks Shouchun again. Isn’t it a perfect opportunity to become independent!

Because of this idea, Shi Le must not be suspicious now. I’m afraid that Jie Nu thought he wanted to vote for Liu Yao and find him to make a relationship. If you are on guard, the battle will be difficult to fight.

With Wang Mi’s approval, the messenger happily got out of the camp. Wang Zhang hesitated a little on the side: “Brother really wants to go to the banquet? Going to Shile now, I am afraid it is not stable…”

Wang Mi laughed: “If you don’t enter the tiger’s lair, how can you get a tiger? That Jinu just made a great contribution, and he is happy, and I will make him feel proud. When he attacks Shouchun, he will be fine. Riding as a forward, he took advantage of the melee between the two armies to fight back. It was easy to kill him. Isn’t the Yanzhou under Jie Nu’s money in the bag?”

Wang Zhang moved his lips, but said nothing. He knows too much about his brother’s temperament, and this plan is indeed very stable. Even if Shi Le sees something, the two armies are so close, what can he do? It’s better to push the boat along the river, go to a banquet, and completely stabilize the opponent.

After making a plan, Wang Mi took his soldiers and rushed to Shile Camp. Shi Le also gave a lot of face and greeted each other personally.

The feast is a good feast, and the wine is a good wine, and even the host smiles. Shi Le took the lead in toasting, and said to Wang Mijing: “This big break of the Jin army is all the merits of the general. The general is not talented, and I am ashamed of it!”

Wang Mi smiled and said: “Why should Shilong be self-effacing? Everyone knows you are brave. Without you, how could you kill Gou Xi?”

This flattery made both of them smiles. Shi Le filled his abdomen again with a full toast: “At the beginning, he fled out of Jizhou in embarrassment. If there were no generals to take them in, how could it be today? Now that the meritorious deeds are in hand, thanks to the promotion of the generals.”

This made Wang Mi a little itchy. Do you also know that today it all depends on my hand to pull? What do you still vote for Liu Yao! However, at this moment, it is absolutely impossible to say these words. After drinking the second cup, Wang Mi sighed, “Who didn’t have a down time? Speaking of which, I also offended King Qin earlier, and now I move my capital to Chang’an. I’m afraid it will be hard to endure in the future, so I have to rely on Shilong’s support. .”

These words can explain why he suddenly showed his favor, and it should also make the other party more complacent. Who expected Shilemei Peak to pick it up: “The general is in hand, haven’t you thought of leaving Han?”

what? ! Wang Mi suddenly raised his head and looked at the opposite Jie Ren. What is the meaning of this statement? Could it be that Shi Le gave birth to a self-reliant mind, and wanted to pull him out of Han?

However, his mind turned sharply, and Wang Mi pretended to be surprised: “What does Shilong mean?”

The answer is the same as no answer. Shi Le drank the glass of wine slowly, and sighed: “The final general thought that the general was sincere to me. It seems that he will be wrong…”

Wang Mi’s heart suddenly tightened: “Shilong’s words are weird. If I really have the mind, why should I attack Shouchun?”

“Well, why bother?” Shi Le sneered coldly, and the hand holding the cup gave a sharp wave. He only heard a pop, the cup fell to the ground and fell to pieces.

With this sound, there were rapid footsteps behind the curtain, and hundreds of ambushing swordsmen rushed out.

Wang Mi’s face changed drastically, and when he was about to jump, he cut his sharp blade on his neck. The sword was so fierce that the head of the man flew out, as if inspired by this order, the swordsmen rushed to the soldiers that Wang Mi had brought. The sound of fighting and screaming only sounded for a moment, and the tent returned to calm.

Shi Le swept away the blood on the blade, and put the knife in its sheath: “Pass the order, attack the camp!”

Wang Mi thought he was keeping a secret, but the messenger he sent to Qingzhou had long been stopped by Shi Le. Cao Yi had not sent troops, and he would never know the orders of his generals.

Attacking Shouchun? Shi Le had no plans at all. The only purpose is to lure Wang Mi to take the bait and take the opportunity to kill him. His subordinate Jingqi had already made preparations, and only waited for Wang Mi to give him the lead, he would attack his camp. Although Wang Mi’s military strength was comparable to his own, the elite had suffered a lot in the previous battles, and he sent his confidant Cao Yi to Qingzhou. Taking advantage of it, it may not be impossible to win.

Since he is unkind first, he can’t blame himself for being unrighteous.

“Break his camp as soon as possible, and kill Wang Zhang.” Shi Le strode out of the tent after striding over the corpse that had lost his head.

That night, Wang Mi’s camp was attacked and Wang Zhang died in battle. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are in chaos!

“What are you talking about? Shi Le turned back, and Wang Mi was killed in the attack?!” The little emperor stood up from the throne, his face flushed flushed with whiteness. Liu Zhun hadn’t sent troops yet, and the enemy actually started to kill each other. Isn’t this God’s help? !

“Quickly order the general to cross the river and kill the defeated army!” He cried out wherever he could hold it. This is the best time to recapture Yuzhou! The pseudo-Han was in great chaos, and Wang Mi’s remnants had to guard against Shile. How could they have spare capacity to resist the imperial court soldiers?

Must send troops! The more the better! This time the capital was moved, it was really the right move!

In the excited shouts of the little emperor, tens of thousands of troops crossed the Huai River and launched a fierce attack on the cities that fell in the hands of thieves. Countless grains and grass, along with the mighty team of servants, are advancing farther.

For a time, both sides of the Huai River were like boiling pots.
