Chapter 310 Infighting

what to do?On the throne, the little emperor was full of only these three words.

Just a few days ago, he just heard the news of Liu Yuan's violent death and the Huns' civil strife.Unexpectedly, as soon as he left Luoyang, the puppet Han would make trouble out of hand, 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 decided to take back half of Sizhou.And how could the Huns let go of their opponents who forced them to flee?When the two powerhouses meet, I am afraid that no one will be able to take care of him.Wouldn't the new capital of Shouchun be safe?

When the two sides are exhausted, Gou Xi will lead the troops to pacify Yuzhou and Yanzhou. At that time, the wings will be full, and it is not a bad idea to 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 rebuilding the foundation.

So many thoughts churned in his heart, the little emperor was so excited that he couldn't sleep peacefully for several days.Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the situation changed suddenly.That Gou Xi, who had always been invincible and powerful in battle, was defeated and died just like that!

So what will Shouchun do?With only [-] to [-] soldiers and horses in hand, can they still stop the chaos?

"Your Majesty! Immediately spread the message and order Jingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou to send troops to help and keep the enemy away from the Huai River!" General Liu Zhun said loudly.

After the arrival of Yu Jia, Liu Zhun had a lot of conflicts with Gou Xi who came from afar, and he has long hated Gou Xi!However, Gou Xi's sudden death is not a good thing.What he took away was most of the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and his own strength may not be able to defend Shouchun.The best way is to order the governors of the states to send troops to fight against the enemy together.

Not to mention Jing and Xu, Sima Rui, the governor of Yangzhou, has a lot of soldiers in his hands.In such a critical moment, does he dare not come to rescue him?It is now summer and there is plenty of rainfall. Without boats, it is not so easy to forcefully cross the Huai River.As long as you have soldiers, you can block the enemy!

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

No matter how you say it, Liu Zhun is also a person who has quelled the civil strife, and he did not shirk, and embraced his orders.As long as Shouchun is guarded, no one will be able to take away his position in the imperial court.

However, in the eyes of Sima Rui, the plans of the people in the imperial court were not like that at all.

"Didn't Gou Xi lead an army of [-]? Why can't he stop those two thieves!" When Sima Rui heard the news, his heart was half cold.

Before Wang Mi and Shi Le were in trouble in Henan and Yan, more and more gentry packed their bags and fled with their families.In just a few months, more than [-] nobles poured into Yangzhou!This is not a refugee at the mercy of others.Huainan County has long been unable to settle down, and Lujiang County is also full of complaints.Many people even crossed the river directly, wanting to gain a foothold in Jiangdong.How can the three Wus not be angry now?The relationship that was finally eased became tense again.Not to mention the money and food spent to support the emperor.Now that he is going to send troops again, won't he kill him? !

Wang Dun said indifferently: "Shouchun is also a Jiangdong barrier, and the emperor sits in it, how can we not guard it? But sending troops requires conscription. If all the servants come from Huainan, what will happen?"

Sima Rui was startled, and then understood what Wang Dun said.Huainan County was already disturbed by the northerners who moved south, and now it was the busy farming season, and conscription for military service would inevitably arouse the anger of the people.In the past two years, there have been many civil uprisings in Jiangdong. Once someone raises an issue, there will be chaos immediately!

This is a dangerous game, if one is not good, maybe you will implicate yourself.And if the city of Shouchun is broken, and the emperor moves again, what should we do if we cross the river?

Seeming to see Sima Rui's hesitation, Wang Dun said: "The governor is too worried. The emperor was once threatened by the king of the East China Sea. If it was not a last resort, he might not cross the river. Even if Gou Xi is killed, Shouchun still has troops. Don't waste any more , How can the commander's soldiers and horses approach? Regardless of success or failure, there is no hindrance to the commander."

Wang Dun's character is no more cold than that of Wang Dao, so this strategy is really vicious.If there is a change in Huainan, causing the destruction of Shouchun City and the death of the emperor, it would be best.On the contrary, even if they can't succeed, they can exhaust the troops under the emperor's command, giving Sima Rui a reason to send troops.In this way, the little emperor, who has no soldiers and no power, becomes a clay puppet that can be manipulated at will?

Sima Rui swallowed his saliva, this strategy really makes people blood cold, but it may not be a solution: "Then who should we send?"

"General Liu was the governor of Yuzhou, and he fought against Wang Mi. It would be best to send him there." Wang Dun smiled slightly.

The General Liu he was talking about naturally meant Liu Kun.This son is very famous and has a high family status. He was also the governor of Yuzhou.If it wasn't for following the king of the East China Sea wrongly and being hated by the emperor, maybe he could still be reused.It's not a good idea to put such a person next to Sima Rui.It's better to take this opportunity to send Shouchun to kill people with a knife.

Since leaving Langya, his wealth and life have been hung on Sima Rui's body.What Wang Dun thinks about is how to gain a firm foothold, control this weak and deceitful county king, and achieve his own goals.

However, how could Sima Rui see through these?Nodding repeatedly, he said: "Just follow Chu Zhong's strategy!"

The entire Jiangdong is in turmoil for the upcoming enemy.But in Wang Mi's camp, there was no killing as imagined.

Looking at the messenger standing respectfully in front of him, Wang Mi smiled and said, "General Shi invites you, why don't you go?"

Shi Le contributed a lot to killing Gou Xi before.If he hadn't set up an ambush, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to cut the general under the sword.Therefore, Wang Mi pretended to be generous and put all the credit on Shi Le's head.Even the victory of the war has divided him a lot.Then Wang Mi offered to attack Shouchun with him.

If you can defeat Shouchun, it will be a great achievement.This series of actions really made Shi Le relax his vigilance.Not only did the camps of the two armies get closer, but they also invited him to a banquet to discuss plans to send troops.

However, what Wang Mi thought was not to attack Shouchun.It's just waiting for Cao Yi to mobilize troops to encircle Shile.It is not easy to kill the emperor of Jin, and it is not easy to kill a Jie slave.He has no intention of destroying the enemy for Liu Yao.The best way is to take Shi Le's soldiers and horses and take the way to Jingzhou.When Jingzhou is in hand, most of the northern land will fall into his hands.It is estimated that the Xiongnu will still be at war with Bingzhou, and the little emperor has shrunk his life, isn't it a great opportunity to stand on his own feet!

It was precisely because of this thought that Shi Le must not be suspicious now.I'm afraid that Jie Nu thought that he wanted to vote for Liu Yao and seek him out.If there is a guard, it will be difficult to fight the battle.

With Wang Mi's approval, the messenger happily left the camp.Wang Zhang hesitated: "Brother, really want to go to the banquet? I'm afraid it's not safe to go to Shile now..."

Wang Mi laughed: "If you don't enter the tiger's lair, how can you catch a tiger cub? That Jie Nu has just made a great contribution, and he is very happy. I will make him get overjoyed. When we attack Shouchun, with his subordinates Cavalry as a vanguard, taking advantage of the scuffle between the two armies to fight back. It can kill him easily. Then Yanzhou under Jie Nu's hands, won't it be in his pocket?"

Wang Zhang moved his lips, but said nothing.He knows his brother's temperament too well, and this plan is really sure.Even if Shi Le saw something, the two armies were so close together, so what could he do?It's better to go with the flow, go to the banquet, and completely stabilize the other party.

After making a plan, Wang Mi rushed to Shile camp with his own soldiers.Shi Le also gave enough face and greeted them in person, and the two entered the account hand in hand, and took their seats as the guest of honor.

The banquet is a good banquet, the wine is good wine, and even the host is smiling.Shi Le was the first to raise his glass, and respectfully said to Wang Mi: "The defeat of the Jin army this time is all due to the great general. The last general is not talented, and he deserves it!"

Wang Mi smiled and said: "Why should Shilong be humble? Everyone knows you are brave. If you didn't break the city and lay an ambush, how could you kill Gouxi?"

This compliment brought smiles to both of their faces.With the wine in his belly, Shi Le filled his glass again: "At the end of the day, the general escaped from Jizhou in embarrassment. If the general hadn't taken him in, how could he be where he is today? Now the meritorious service is in hand, thanks to the promotion of the general."

Hearing these words, Wang Mi's teeth itch.You also know that today is all due to my single-handed promotion?Then why do you vote for Liu Yao!However, at this moment, it is absolutely impossible to say these words.After drinking the second cup, Wang Mi sighed softly: "Who doesn't have a time of despair? Speaking of which, I also offended the King of Qin earlier, and now I moved the capital to Chang'an. I am afraid that the future will be difficult, and I still have to rely on Shilong's support." .”

These words can well explain why he suddenly showed his favor, and it should also make the other party more complacent.Unexpectedly, Shi Le raised his eyebrows: "The great general has a great army in hand, don't you think about leaving Han?"

What? !Wang Mi suddenly raised his head and looked at the opposite Jieren.What is the purpose of these words?Could it be that Shi Le himself had a self-reliant mind and wanted to pull him out of the Han Dynasty together?

However, his thoughts changed sharply, Wang Mi pretended to be surprised and said: "What does Shilong mean?"

Answering this question is the same as not answering.Shi Le drank the fine wine in the glass slowly, and sighed: "The last general thought that the general treated me sincerely. It seems that he may have made a mistake..."

Wang Mi's heart tightened suddenly: "Shilong's words are weird, if I really have a heart, why should I attack Shouchun?"

"Well, why bother?" Shi Le sneered, and the hand holding the cup swung violently, only to hear a bang, the cup fell to the ground and shattered.

Following this sound, hurried footsteps came from behind the curtain, and a hundred axemen who had ambushed rushed out.

Wang Mi's expression changed drastically, just as he was about to jump up, the sharp blade slashed on his neck.That knife was so fierce that the big man's head flew out, as if inspired by this order, the swordsmen rushed towards the soldiers brought by Wang Mi.The sound of fighting and screaming only rang for a moment, and the tent returned to calm.

Shi Le wiped off the blood on the blade, and put the sword back into its sheath: "Send the order, attack the camp!"

Wang Mi thought he was keeping it secret, but the envoy he sent to Qingzhou was stopped by Shi Le long ago.Cao Yi did not send troops, and he will never know the military order of his general.

Attack Shouchun?Shi Le had no such intention at all.The only purpose is to lure Wang Mi to take the bait and take the opportunity to attack and kill him.The fine cavalry under his command had been prepared long ago, and they would attack Wang Mi's camp just after Wang Mi gave his head.Although Wang Mi's military strength was comparable to his own, the elite had suffered a lot in the previous battles, so he sent his confidant Cao Yi to Qingzhou.If it is not prepared, it may not be impossible to win.

Since he is unkind first, he cannot blame himself for being unrighteous.

"Destroy his camp as soon as possible and kill Wang Zhang." Stepping over the headless corpse, Shi Le strode out of the tent.

That night, Wang Mi's camp was attacked, and Wang Zhang died in a fierce battle.Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are in a mess!

"What did you say? Shi Le turned his back on the battle, and Wang Mi was attacked and killed?!" The little emperor stood up from the throne with a jerk, his fair face was flushed.Before Liu Zhun sent troops, the enemy started killing each other.Isn't this God's help? !

"Hurry up and order the general to cross the river and kill the defeated army!" How could he hold back, he shouted loudly.This is the best time to take back Yuzhou!The puppet Han Dynasty was already in chaos, and Wang Mi's remnant soldiers had to guard against Shi Le, so how could they have the strength to resist the imperial army?

Troops must be sent!The more the merrier!This move of the capital was really the right move!

Amidst the little emperor's excited shouts, tens of thousands of troops crossed the Huai River and launched a fierce attack on the cities that fell into the hands of thieves.Countless food and grass, along with the mighty team of servants, pushed forward to a farther place.

For a moment, the two banks of the Huai River were like a boiling cauldron.
