Farmer of Shu Han

Chapter 892: Zheng Liao

  Chapter 892 Zheng Liao

  Autumn grass yellow horse fat, it is a good time for conquest.

   Cao Rui knew this, and Ke Bi Neng on the grassland knew it even more.

  Wang Xiong learned from Han Long that Ke Bineng wanted to send troops eastward in September to swallow Xianbei in eastern Liaodong, and his eyes became gloomy.

  If His Majesty's order is followed to lead troops to attack Liao, then Youzhou's military strength will be empty, and then only Kebi Neng in the north can annex Liaodong Xianbei.

  If you stand still, you are afraid that your majesty will commit crimes.

  Wang Daxiong was worried. After sending Han Long away, he sat in the mansion for a long time, thinking hard about countermeasures.

  The most powerful of the Hu people in Youbing Erzhou now is Ke Bineng.

  If he is allowed to grow again, then Youzhou, which has only been peaceful for two or three years, will be looted by the barbarians again sooner or later, so he must be stopped.

  But since Tian Yu was forced to leave Youzhou, Ke Bineng paid tribute many times.

  If the Youzhou side openly opposes his sending troops to Liaodong Xianbei, I am afraid it will make him have two hearts again.

  Since you can't openly intervene, you have to borrow the hands of others.

  Thinking of this, Wang Xiong's eyes flashed, he got up and entered the study, and wrote a letter as quickly as possible.

   Then called the servant:

   "Send this letter to the governor of Bingzhou governor's office as quickly as possible."

  The current governor of Bingzhou is called Bi Gui.

  Youbin Erzhou, since ancient times, has been the northern barrier and the forefront of the intersection with the Hu people.

  So exchanging news is also a normal thing.

  Just as there is Ke Bineng in the north of Youzhou, there is also Budugen, a master of Xianbei, in the north of Bingzhou.

   And the most coincidental thing is that Bu Dugen and Ke Bi Neng have enmity.

  Because Budugen had an elder brother named Fu Luohan, who was originally a Xianbei master with tens of thousands of riders.

   Later Daijun Karasuma Nengchendi rebelled against Wei and wanted to join the tribe of Fuluohan.

  Fu Luohan led ten thousand riders to greet him in person, but Neng Chendi walked halfway and suddenly felt that Fu Luohan was not the master of the Ming Dynasty.

  So he asked someone to report to Ke Bineng.

  Ke Bi Neng also led Wanqi to come.

  The three parties finally agreed to make an oath to form an alliance.

   It is said that the men in the grassland have solid eyes, but who would have expected that there would be Ke Bineng?

  Ke Bineng killed Fu Luohan by surprise when he was in the alliance.

   This time, let alone the Nengchen who wanted to be on two boats was merged by Ke Bineng.

  Even Fu Luohan's son Xie Guini had no choice but to lead the crowd to surrender to his father-killing enemy in the face of Ke Bineng's aggressiveness.

  So Budugenwen brother was killed by Ke Bineng, and his elder brother left behind a tribe, and he didn't even get a hair, so naturally he has a lot of resentment towards Ke Bineng.

  Xianbei from the two prefectures, the two most powerful adults, conquered each other all the year round.

  Of course, Wei Guo's secret fire is also indispensable.

  The former governor of Bingzhou was Liang Xi. He served as governor of Bingzhou for more than 20 years.

  Budugen's power is weaker than Ke Bineng's, so he can only lead his own troops to defend Taiyuan, Yanmen County and other places.

   Relying on being a watchdog for the Wei State, this was exchanged for the support of the Wei State, and barely supported it so that it would not be annexed by Ke Bineng.

  Liang Xi was naturally happy to let the two major forces of Xianbei and Hu fight back and forth, and at the same time, he also gave in to Dugen to help him guard the border.

   Even in order to suppress Ke Bineng who was too powerful, Liang Xi personally led the troops out of the fortress, breaking Ke Bineng.

  It was only four years ago that Liang Xi was transferred back to Luoyang to serve as the chief minister, and Bi Gui became the governor of Bingzhou, all this began to change.

  Bi Gui was rare in talent and fame, and his family was rich and well-born. His son, Princess Shang, could be regarded as a relative of Wei State.

  Because of this, Bi Gui served as the governor of Bingzhou, and after gaining real power, he was extremely arrogant.

  At the beginning, he could barely maintain the system set by Liang Xi.

   Only two years later, he showed his true nature.

  First, they continued to oppress the Hu people in the territory and plundered their cattle and sheep.

   Then provoked border disputes from time to time, killing Hu people to receive credit.

  Bi Gui's actions in recent years have caused constant chaos among the barbarians in Bingzhou, and even the barbarians from abroad have taken the opportunity to invade the border several times.

  Even Bu Dugen, who represented the biggest force of Hu people in Bingzhou, was quite resentful towards Bi Gui.

   It's just that Bu Dugen lives under the fence, and he has a bad relationship with Ke Bi Neng. There is no way to advance or retreat, so he has to swallow his breath.

  And his attitude, in turn, fueled Bi Gui's arrogance.

   It was under such circumstances that Bi Gui received a letter from Wang Xiong, and when he finished reading it, he was overjoyed and hurriedly summoned Bu Dugen:

"I have always known that you and Ke Bi Neng had an enmity, and there was never a day when you did not want to kill him. However, your nephew vented to the mud, and his father was killed by Ke Bi Neng. He did not think of revenge, but obeyed Ke Bineng's orders. Is it a beast?"

   Bu Dugen heard the words, his face was ashamed, and at the same time he said sadly:

   "My nephew was forced by Ke Bineng. If he doesn't follow him, I'm afraid he will be like my brother and be killed by him."

   "Besides, Ke is more powerful than Neng, and he is respected by everyone in the grassland. It is a fluke for us to be able to save him. How dare we take revenge lightly?"

  Bi track:

   "Otherwise. Even if the enemy is powerful and the world is big, why worry about having no place to hide? How can you admit that the thief is the master?"

   "Plus your uncle is away, why don't you two, uncle and nephew, fight against your enemies together to avenge your father and brother?"

  Budugen didn't think about this?

  It's just that he himself is dependent on others, and that's why he won't be swallowed by Ke Bi Neng.

  Where did he have the ability to provide shelter for Xieguini?

   Only heard him say:

   "I'm just afraid that my nephew will have nowhere to live."

  Of course, unless, like the Xianbei tribes in the west, they migrated to the west to find new pastures.

  If this is the case, not to mention whether they can find a new shelter, just how many people will die on the way is a big problem.

   Not to mention how to get revenge after leaving here?

   Unless there is no other choice, who would leave the familiar pasture and go through hardships to find a new pasture that I don’t know if I can find it?

   "It's nothing to worry about!" Bi Gui was waiting for Bu Dugen's words, only to hear him say, "I didn't know you had a nephew at Kebi Neng before."

   "Now that you know it, how can you just sit idly by? You just send someone to tell him that I will arrange it myself."

   Bu Dugen didn't expect Bi Gui to say these words, and it was a big surprise at the moment.

  Recalling how much I complained about Bi Gui in the past, I felt a little ashamed, and prostrated myself:

   "Although the grassland is vast, it is not as big as the heart of the envoy!"

  Bi Gui stroked his beard and smiled, and stood up:

   "You have made great contributions to the Great Wei's defense for a long time, how could I not know it? At that time, you and Xie Guini will fight against Ke to compete with each other, and you can be regarded as contributing to the Great Wei."

   "How dare a villain not do his best?"

  After Budugen returned to his clan, he immediately sent someone secretly to find the Nigui:

   "Your father was killed by Bineng. He didn't think of revenge, but belonged to a family of enemies. Although he treated you kindly today, it was a plan to kill you. Why don't you give me back? I am close relatives with you, how can I be equal to enemies?"

  Xie Guini heard this and burst into tears on the spot:

   "Although I have to obey Qiu Yu's orders, there is no day in my heart without hatred! Now that my uncle calls me, how dare I not obey?"

  At this time, Ke Bineng was gathering the tribes to prepare for the Eastern Expedition.

  Xie Guini took this opportunity to gather the tribe, and Ke Bineng was not suspicious.

  After the convening was completed, Xie Guini turned around and fled westward with his troops.

  In fact, although Ke Bineng killed Fu Luo Han, he treated Fu Luo Han's son very kindly in order to appease his remaining followers.

  The fighting on the grassland is basically that you kill me today, and I kill you tomorrow.

  Father kills son, and son kills father.

   Just like Maodun back then, he killed his father and became self-reliant.

  Jian Ke Bi Neng was originally a small Xianbei, but he was promoted as an adult only because he was brave and good at fighting, fair and just.

   Killing Fu Luo Han during the oath of alliance has already lost credibility.

  If he kills his son Xie Guini again without any reason, and makes no secret of his purpose of annexing the Fuluo Han tribe, then he will really lose the hearts of the people.

  So he treated Xie Guini kindly, just to let his followers return to their hearts, and only waited for a long time before slowly merging them.

   And seeing that Xie Guini led the tribe to return to himself, he was obedient on weekdays, and Ke Bi Neng could only take it as a plan.

  So when he heard the news that Xie Guini led the crowd to flee west and wanted to return to Budugen, it was as if he was hit by a thunderbolt, and there were stars in front of his eyes.

   "Escaped? How did you escape?!"

   Kebi Neng grabbed the felt hat on his head and threw it out, revealing his braids.

  Furious, the braids that were combed behind his head flicked like a nest of little snakes dancing in the air.

   It’s just that he can be regarded as a hero after all. Although he is furious, he can still calm down quickly:

   "Have you found out which way he escaped from?"

   "My lord, I have already found out."

   "Immediately summon the elite cavalry from the headquarters, and follow me to chase the thief!" Ke Bi Neng gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go to the mud boy, if I capture him, he will take his head and make a bone cup!"

  Wang Xiong from Youzhou had already sent scouts to keep an eye on the news from the north.

   When Tanma reported that there was a change in the west of the Hu people outside the Great Wall, he couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing:

   "My plan is done!"

  Unhappy, Wang Xiong ordered again:

   "Come here, take my invitation card and invite Han Long."

  If Han Long hadn't reported in advance, I'm afraid that this time, he would be passive.

  Unexpectedly, after the servants sent out came back, they reported a news that surprised Wang Xiong:

   "Return to the envoy, Han Zhuangshi has left Youzhou!"

   "Do you know where he is going?"

   "According to the local people, I may go to Bingzhou, Guanzhong, or even Liangzhou. Most of them go to places where barbarians gather and heroes haunt."

  Wang Xiong was not surprised when he heard the words, he just sighed and said:

   "Unfortunately, such a strong man as Han Qianyong is not for my use..."

  In September of the tenth year of Jianxing, Ke Bineng's defection due to Xie Guini not only failed the plan to conquest and swallow up the Xianbei in Eastern Liaodong to strengthen them.

   Moreover, Xieguini took away many tribes, and the Kebineng tribe was weakened instead.

  A letter solved the immediate problem of Ke Bineng, and Wang Xiong led the Youzhou soldiers and horses that had been assembled, and prepared to march towards Liaodong.

  Unexpectedly, the heavens are not beautiful, and news soon came from the front: Liaodong has been raining heavily in autumn, the roads are muddy and difficult to walk, and the Liao River has soared, making it impossible to cross the water.

  Wang Xiong had no choice but to slow down, and sent people to Qingzhou to inquire about the situation of Tian Yu who was taking the sea route.

   Who knows that Tian Yu's side is also not going well.

  Qingzhou originally had a governor, Xia Houzhu, but the three families of Cao, Wei and Xiahou were all tabooed by Cao Rui, so now Xiahouzhen has been recalled to Luoyang.

  Tian Yu was originally excluded from Youzhou by Wang Xiong, so he had to go to Runan to serve as the prefect.

  Now Cao Rui has asked Tian Yu to lead the army of Qingzhou as the prefect, and also to lead the big army as a small one. How can he convince the big guys in Qingzhou?

   Especially Cheng Xi, the governor of Qingzhou, was even more resentful.

   After Tian Yu led the army to Qingzhou, he was able to command the soldiers from Runan he brought over.

   Under the instigation of Cheng Xi, the army of Qingzhou followed Tian Yu's military orders mostly in obedience and obedience, and their actions were slow.

  Qingzhou (that is, part of Shandong now) is originally a coastal area. Logically speaking, boats should have been prepared long ago.

  But under Cheng Xi's secret obstruction, Tian Yu delayed for a full month before he was ready.

   And only at this time did he realize that the sea was already very windy and rough, and it was impossible to cross the sea.

  The news that the two prefectures of Youqing and Qingzhou were unfavorable to go to Liaodong reached Cao Rui's ears at the same time. After confirming the actual difficulties, Cao Rui had to issue an edict to suspend the conquest of Liaodong.

  Of course, Wei Guo’s first conquest of Liao had no beginning and no end, and it was not completely fruitless.

  At least I know the difficulties of conquering Liao and what preparations to make.

   Qingzhou Chengshan, a veteran with white hair and beard, is looking up into the distance.

  Chengshan, also known as "chaowu".

  The first emperor visited here on his east tour, stayed at Chengshan and looked at the East China Sea. He saw the legendary fairy mountain in a trance, and later called Chengshan "the end of the sky."

  The mountain faces the coast on three sides and land on one side, facing Liaodong across the sea.

   It is most convenient to take a boat from here to Liaodong.

   Later, Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty built a temple in Chengshan to view the sea.

  The old general is now standing on the building built by Han Xiaowu, overlooking Chengshan.

  A middle-aged man stood behind him and asked:

   "My lord, His Majesty has ordered us to suspend the expedition against Liao. What are we still doing here? Why don't we return to Runan?"

  While he was supporting his lord, he had an expression of disapproval on his face, and there was resentment in his tone:

   "Staying here is useless. If it weren't for the talisman bestowed by His Majesty, our own army might not even be able to gather food and grass!"

  The old general is Tian Yu, the prefect of Runan, and the middle-aged man behind him is his son Tian Pengzu.

  Hearing what his son said, Tian Yu didn't look back, but just smiled lightly:

   "I am the prefect of Runan, Yuzhou, and supervise the army of Qingzhou, and the generals in the army. It is normal for me not to accept me."

   "Military merit is the most important thing in Kuang's army. Now I lead the army to no avail. I'm afraid everyone is going to laugh at me at this time."

  Tian Pengzu asked again: "Then why do you still stay here? Why don't you go back soon?"

  Tian Yu still didn't answer, just chuckled, but his expression became more and more serene.

  He pointed to the opposite sea and asked:

   "Do you know where the other side is?"

  Tian Pengzu replied without hesitation: "It is Liaodong."

  He looked in the direction his lord pointed, but saw foggy, high waves on the sea, like monsters, pounding against the rocks tirelessly.

  Even standing on the towers of Chengshan, you can hear the deafening sound of bells and drums.

  The violent sea breeze blew, making him stretch out his hand again, wanting to support his lord.

  The wind is so strong and the waves are so high, if you really dare to cross the sea to conquer Liao at this time, you may feed the fish in the sea first if you don't see Liaodong.

   "That's right, the wind is so strong and the waves are so high, even if Wu people are good at boats, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to sail safely on the sea?"

   Speaking of this, Tian Yu's eyes became deeper and deeper:

   "In my mind, they can only sail along the coast, so as not to be swallowed by the waves..."
