Governor please stay

The reason why Er Zhurong was full of confidence in front of the Erzhu clan was because he was sure that Liu Yishou would accept his request and send troops to Jinyang.

Of course, Er Zhurong was asking for a lot of money, and he didn't expect Liu Yishou to accept whatever he said, and it was only natural to pay back the money when he landed.As long as the opinion that Zhu Ying'e's eldest son is made the prince should be deleted, wouldn't everyone be happy?

That's what Er Zhurong planned before.Already 50 years old, Er Zhurong also knows how much he is, and the unrealistic fantasies in his mind have all disappeared now.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yishou did not reply at all!It was as if the letter had never been seen before!

It is tolerable, what is unbearable!Er Zhurong was really angry this time!

I'm afraid too!

"My lord, please be safe and don't be impatient, things are turning around."

Murong Shaozong persuaded calmly.

"What's the turning point! You've been leading troops, don't you understand? The invincible elite soldiers back then are gone! Don't you know what kind of cowards I have under my command now?"

Murong Shaozong's words directly broke Er Zhurong's defense!

That's right, the elite soldiers under Er Zhurong's command back then were extremely powerful, and fighting with Ge Rong hanging, it was almost one enemy against a hundred!

However, today's world is not what it used to be!

The group of elite soldiers under Er Zhurong's command has been completely destroyed.Now the new recruits, whether you don’t mention it, have morale but no morale, and training but no training.Er Zhurong didn't believe it before, but he took him out to Hedong to test the waters, and even Gao Yue's Hebei soldiers couldn't beat him.

Relying on his own strength alone, no matter how loudly the cowhide blows, Er Zhurong understands that with the rotten sweet potatoes under his hands, there is no way to solve the crisis in Jinyang, let alone blow up Rouran Khan Ana瓌!

Er Zhurong just wanted to lure Liu Yishou's Liang Jun to Jinyang, so that the opponent would fight Rouran to death.In the end, his plan was only half completed: the vanguard of the Liang army entered Qi County, and then stayed there, as if they were watching Er Zhurong and Anahu fight to the death.

If not, Er Zhurong would not have written that letter.

At this moment, he also had to admit that Liu Yishou, who was two rounds younger than him, was the real scheming man who acted after making decisions.

"At the end of the day, I sent a letter to Anahu, saying that I was willing to cooperate with him in Jinyang's rebellion and sacrifice Jinyang.

When Rouran's soldiers come, and take advantage of his unpreparedness to make a sudden attack, he will surely be able to cut off one of his fingers.Rouran's army was thwarted, and food and grass were in short supply, so it was inevitable to finally withdraw from Bingzhou.Maybe Anahu will retreat after this battle. "

Surrender?It seems that it is not impossible.

Er Zhurong fell silent.

This trick is very old-fashioned, but it really works.There are countless examples of defeating the enemy by false surrender in history.

Of course, there are also many old drivers who overturned.

It can only be said that risks and opportunities coexist, and it depends on whether Er Zhurong dares to gamble.

"Anahu is not a fool, how could he be fooled?"

Er Zhurong asked doubtfully, this question is very important.It's not that the tactic of feigning surrender is bad, but if the opponent doesn't fall for it, it's just winking for the blind.

"My lord, the Anahu army eats horse chews every day here in Jinyang, and the consumption is not small. If we can't make a quick decision, the more we delay, the worse it will be for him. We have already taken all the food and grass around Jinyang. We have hoarded it in Jinyang City, we can afford it, but Anahu can't afford it.

Even if it's a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, Anahu has to come and try it out.Besides, it doesn't take much to write a letter, so why should my lord worry about whether he will come or not? "

Murong Shaozong persuaded him patiently.

"In that case, let's try."

Er Zhurong nodded slightly, and asked Murong Shaozong to write the letter of surrender in front of him. After repeatedly confirming that he felt all right, he asked Murong Shaozong's confidants to deliver the letter to Yangqu.

But what Er Zhurong didn't expect was that Anahu saw through Murong Shaozong's plot to surrender at a glance.But he didn't have any good intentions, so he directly sent someone to send the letter to Liu Yishou in Huguan City, Shangdang County. When the time comes, we will send troops to Jinyang together!

Anayu thought that Liu Yishou would go to the appointment happily, at least he would send Wei Xiaokuan from Qi County to cooperate, but he didn't expect that the other party was still in the state of "can't read back", as if he couldn't write.

……

In the severe winter of this year, Murong Shaozong under Er Zhurong's command made a trick against Rouran Khan, but Anahu was not fooled, and passed the letter to Liu Yishou, intending to attack Jinyang together.However, Liu Yishou was not fooled either, and simply ignored Anahu.

So this plan was aborted. Er Zhurong did not get Yin to Anahu, and Anahu did not get Liu Yishou's pawns to attack Jinyang.

However, just when everyone thought that the situation in Jinyang would end without a problem and the Rouran cavalry retreated to the grassland as the end, the three-party melee suddenly broke out!

Chapter 695 Brilliant Like Fireworks

The weather is getting warmer and the snow is melting.The Rouran people, who had been hustling around Jinyang for a whole winter, loaded the looted money into the car and began to return north one after another.

Anahu had already ordered people to distribute the food and grass collected locally as military rations, and now he was almost exhausted.

However, many gold and silver utensils, bronze Buddhas, cloth and silk are very useful in normal times, but they are not used in critical moments of war.So it had to be packed and transported back to the grassland, and sold to Hu merchants from the Western Regions.

Grasslands naturally have the law of survival of grasslands. Anahu came to Jinyang, and although he didn't get enough money in Jinyang City, he didn't return empty-handed.Anahu never let go of any places that could be grabbed around Jinyang, and almost patronized them all.

If it weren't for the fact that Jinyang was far away from the grassland, a large number of slaves would easily die during the march. Anahu wished to pack up the local residents of Jinyang.

Of course, Anahu wouldn't just leave, he had already prepared a "big gift package" to teach Er Zhurong a lesson he would never forget.

Rouran's army has not run out of food and grass, and has not experienced a war, and still has some spare energy to continue staying around Jinyang.Withdrawing ahead of time now is actually just deliberately showing off a loophole, making Er Zhurong think that they retreated because they had no intention of fighting, and luring the other party to lead the army in pursuit.

If Er Zhurong caught up with the trap, even if he didn't die, he would lose his skin.After beating the sap, Anahu can take the Rouran cavalry and return to the grassland steadily with the loot.It can also be regarded as consolidating personal prestige.

If Er Zhurong was accidentally overturned, Anahu naturally didn't mind turning around and going to Jinyang to grab a wave before going back.

Happiness or greater happiness, Anahu felt that this time was very stable and very happy.

……

Outside the north gate of Jinyang, banners and flags were flying, and a team of mixed infantry and cavalry in the city slowly advanced towards Yangqu in the north.Er Zhurong gathered almost all the troops he could send out.Anahu was able to suppress his restless thoughts and did not attack Jinyang in the winter, which was indeed beyond Er Zhurong's expectations.

This shows that Anahu, Rouran Khan, still has some skills, and he is not entirely an incompetent person who can only rely on lip service to borrow troops to make a fortune.

But that's about it.Er Zhurong didn't think much of Anahu.

"Shaozong, in your opinion, where will Anahu lie in ambush?"

Walking at the front of the team, Er Zhurong was riding a horse through the snow while asking Murong Shaozongdao who was also riding a horse.

"My lord, the city of Luoyin not far to the north of Yangqu has been abandoned for many years. It is rarely visited by people, and its location is very dangerous. It is a strategic place out of the mountains to guard the official road. If Anahu wants to ambush, he must be in Luoyin Ambush outside Yin City. Jinyang has been in chaos for so long, and it is obviously impossible for Luo Yin to live there. Ambushing here can guarantee the suddenness of the attack.

If you continue to go north, you have to take the mountain road, and it will be a long time before the next stop is Jiuyuan City, the boundary of Sizhou.

Sizhou has been reduced to the territory of miscellaneous barbarians, and various small tribes occupy it, doing their own thing.Although it is impossible for them to do anything to Rouran's army, the lord will definitely not chase after Sizhou to intercept Anahu's convoy.

If you want to come to Anahu, you also understand this point. To ensure the success of the ambush, it is impossible to start in Sizhou, so you can only do it in the abandoned city of Luoyin in the northernmost part of Bingzhou. "

Murong Shaozong peeled off the cocoon and pulled the silk, almost fully expressing Anahu's plan.In fact, Anahu's plan was exactly like this. When the whole army returned to the grassland, only half of it was real, and the other half was planning to slash Zhurong fiercely in front of the northernmost mountain range in Bingzhou.

Then depending on the results of the battle to determine the strategy of follow-up actions.

"Shaozong's words are deeply in my heart. Anahu probably forgot that I also started raising horses back then. I know how much fodder the army needs and when they will graze on the grassland. The army of Rouran walked too far It's too early. If we leave on [-] days later, then I believe that Anahu has really left."

Er Zhurong smiled slightly, and spat on the ground disdainfully as he spoke.

It is true that Rouran has achieved a short-term revival in Anahu, but a large part of the reason is that the Northern Wei Dynasty subjugated the country substantially.Anahu is just a pig flying up the wind, at most her flying posture is a bit more enchanting, she has not experienced any test of life and death yet!

Once the wind direction changes, it's hard to say whether he can protect himself!

Not only Murong Shaozong saw Anahu's little routine, but Er Zhurong was even more aware of it.

"In your opinion, how should we deal with it?"

Er Zhurong asked calmly, as if he meant to test the school.

"Returning to the lord, there is no turning back when you shoot the bow. It's better to use the plan!"

Murong Shaozong didn't speak out, because he knew that Er Zhurong had already made a plan, and when he asked for his suggestion, he just wanted to make sure that the answer in his heart was approved, and he still had some emotional intelligence.

Er Zhurong has been ups and downs for so many years, and most of his self-confidence has been destroyed by the years. From the all-powerful general Tianzhu to the local warlord living in Jinyang, the gap is not so big.

The only thing that gave him the confidence to do so was his impromptu command on the battlefield.In this regard, Er Zhurong doesn't need anyone to do it for him.

"Hmph, this is really interesting."

Er Zhurong squinted his eyes, looking at the snow in the distance, there seemed to be faintly visible horseshoe prints.

……

As the winter gradually went away, Liu Yishou had already left Huguan City and moved his entourage to the small town of Wusu.

This is the last stop from Shangdang County to Jinyang, further west is the up and down mountain road, the end of this road is Jiexiu in the south of Wuze, Jinyang, Liang Jun has already controlled Jiexiu, And the Jiangzhou mountain soldiers and horses from the wild king, together with the grain and fodder, are being continuously transported to Jiexiu.

Standing at the head of the small town of Wusu, Liu Yishou looked at the grain transport convoy going away, as if he could vaguely hear the bells on the mules.At this time, he didn't look as calm and relaxed as he was in Huguan City.

"My lord, an urgent message from General Wei!"

Yang Xiuzhi hastily handed over the bamboo tube sealed with wax to Liu Yishou.

After opening the letter and reading it for a long time, and repeatedly confirming the information in it, Liu Yishou nodded in satisfaction and heaved a sigh of relief.

"My lord, the messenger is still under the city wall, do you want to pass on the military order?"

Yang Xiuzhi suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, he was good at observing words and expressions, and he knew it was definitely a good thing just by looking at Liu Yishou's expression.

"Pass on my military order and let Wei Xiaokuan act according to plan. We will leave for Jiexiu now."

Liu Yishou said sternly, he had already put away his smile, it didn't look like he was joking.

"Go to Jiexiu?"

Yang Xiuzhi was startled, Jiexiu is the place where the Liang Army in Qi County stores food, has Jinyang's affairs been settled?

"Yes, go to Jinyang to clean up the mess left by Er Zhurong."

Liu Yishou sighed softly, feeling a little embarrassed, and then he handed the letter to Yang Xiuzhi for inspection.

After reading the ten lines of Yang Xiu's eyes, he saw Wei Xiaokuan's letter saying: Er Zhurong has led troops to pursue Anahu, and it is expected that fierce fighting will break out in Luoyin or the mountain road north of Luoyin.He will take the opportunity to lead troops to attack, lay in ambush near Yangqu County, intercept and kill Er Zhurong who has returned from victory, and ask Liu Yishou to enter Jinyang City earlier to preside over the overall situation.

The letter did not say how Liang Jun would enter Jinyang, nor did he say why he expected Erzhu Rong to win.But Wei Xiaokuan speaks so convincingly, it is obvious that he has a well-thought-out plan, and he is not aimless.

Yang Xiuzhi understood that for some important confidential matters, Liu Yishou had to contact the person who carried them out alone, so he didn't know what kind of military order Wei Xiaokuan had obtained, and it must have been the kind that shocked people's jaws.

"More than ten years ago, when Er Zhurong entered Luoyang for the first time, a rogue young man in the city said to him: Bian Que saw Duke Huan of Cai and set up a room. No disease.

After hearing this, Er Zhurong didn't take it seriously. Like Cai Huan, he didn't listen to any good words.

Now, he is still that rascal boy, and he will tell Er Zhurong right away: the disease is in the skin, where the soup irons it; when it is in the skin, it is the needle stone; in the stomach, it is the fire; in the bone marrow , Si Ming belongs to, helpless.Now it is in the bone marrow, so the minister has no request.

I don't know if Er Zhurong has figured out where he went wrong after so many years. "

Liu Yishou expressed emotion again, looking back on the past, it was really a sea of ​​vicissitudes, which is extremely embarrassing.

Er Zhurong's misfortune today is all due to his own fault, and even God has treated him very favorably, so that he now has a place where he can settle down!

The Erzhu family has a deep relationship with the Tuoba family of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and they have had a deep friendship since the founding emperor.The elders of the Erzhu family knew that they were born in Qihu, they were looked down upon by others, and they couldn't get into the upper-class circles, so they spent more than 100 years, using the method of marriage, to cultivate intensively in the upper-class circles of the empire, and created a nearly invincible network of relationships!

Before Empress Dowager Hu poisoned Emperor Ming, Er Zhurong had already stepped on the shoulders of her predecessors and entered the core position in the upper circles of the empire.He was able to make waves after Emperor Ming's death, not because of his invincible military talent, but because of the relationship network built by the Er Zhu family in the past, which buffed Er Zhu Rong in all directions.

Er Zhurong was able to control those people in the six towns, and incorporated people from all walks of life in the border towns under his banner. Apart from his own ability to fight, Er Zhu's network in the upper echelons of the Northern Wei Empire played an irreplaceable role.

The importance of this kind of personal relationship is a bit similar to Gao Huan's making a fortune with the help of Lou Zhaojun's family relationship.If the name is not correct, the words will not be smooth, and if the words are not smooth, things will be difficult to achieve.With the official endorsement of the Northern Wei court, Er Zhurong had the opportunity to display his military talents.

rather than the other way around.

The troubled times are beginning, those with official certification are the officers and soldiers, and those without official certification are the rebels. Cao Cao understood this truth hundreds of years ago.

At that time, everyone could be a traitor, except Erzhu Rong, because not only was he deeply bound to the Yuan Clan (his wife was the Yuan Clan, she was also the father-in-law of the Emperor Ming), but also the century-old relationship network built by the Erzhu Clan, Let him use the cloak of "loyal minister" and "powerful minister" to borrow unlimited power from the Northern Wei Empire to wipe out various forces.

This is Er Zhurong's irreplaceable absolute advantage over Gao Huan, He Bayue and others, and it is also the rope that binds him.

This allows him to be Huo Guang, Zhuge Liang, and even Cao Cao, but he can't be Sima Yi and Liu Yu.

But after Er Zhurong entered Luoyang, he drifted away.Kill those who should be killed, and those who shouldn't be killed, cut off all the relationship networks that Erzhu's painstakingly managed for more than a hundred years, and made himself a lonely family.

Without the upper echelons of the Northern Wei Empire, the Erzhu family is just a Qihu tribe in the border town, and it is not the same as Hu Lujin and others. He has a fart appeal!

The continuous free fall in the future is nothing new. It should be said that Er Zhurong himself made such a death.

Liu Yishou felt that even today, Er Zhurong still hadn't realized this point.He has no idea where the source of his power is, and destroys it with his own hands.

I thought that if I could fight on my own, I would be able to create a big world!This kind of thinking cannot be said to be unreasonable, but just thinking about holding a knife can calm the world.

"My lord, I would like to ask, Jinyang Fortified City, how do we break the city?"

Yang Xiuzhi asked softly.

"Peaches and plums make their own way without saying anything. Sometimes, people don't need others to shout where they are going. People with brains will have their own judgments, and they will vote with their feet."

Liu Yishou said meaningfully that he had already gone to the courtyard where he lived to pack his bags.It can be seen that he came to Wusu small town just waiting for Wei Xiaokuan's letter!

……

Er Zhurong led the troops to the expedition, and those who stayed in Jinyang were all his cronies and relatives.Of course, in order to check and balance each other and prevent one of them from causing trouble, Er Zhu Rong ordered his cousin Er Zhu Zhongyuan to guard the south gate, and his confidant Ke Zhu Hunyuan to guard the north gate to restrict each other.

But the Zhuhun family is not the relatives of the Erzhu family, but they are the relatives of the Murong family.

During the period of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, the Kezhu Hun family and the Murong family had intermarried for hundreds of years, and their relationship was extremely close. They had been deeply bound since the period of Murong Jun (Murong Jun's main wife was the Ke Zhu Hun family).
