Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 496 Awareness
Cui Hao asked Wang Huilong to lead not the elites of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but the backbone of Xianbei.

Wang Huilong, a Han Chinese, went to command an army full of Xianbei people, not to mention Tuoba Tao was worried, even if he was relieved, those Xianbei nobles would also be trained.

Therefore, the soldiers under Wang Huilong's command are all composed of the old Rouran, Ding Lingren, Murong Xianbei, Huns and some Han people.

Soldiers with such a messy composition are of course not very elite, but fortunately there are enough numbers.

A scout came to report, but Yunzhong sent five thousand Song troops to Xiao Chengzhi to the battlefield.

But Wang Huilong has 5 people in his hands!
Ten times the difference... and it's not the kind of false report. If it's just defense, Wang Huilong is still very confident.

After leaving Pingcheng, Wang Huilong headed south with a mighty army.

To meet Xiao Chengzhi, one must first arrive at Mayi in the south, and then march northwest to control the road ahead of time.

Such a route could not be more normal.

But just after Wang Huilong arrived in Mayi, Gu Bi, who was in Yanmen, received the news.

"Wang Huilong!"

Gu Bi didn't know that Wang Huilong's march this time was to deal with Xiao Chengzhi, he only thought it was aimed at him.

"Wang Huilong is Cui Hao's confidant, and he is also a rare Han Chinese general. He led 5 people here this time...he must have come to deal with me!"

There are many soldiers around Gu Bi who still have reason: "My lord, don't panic, this Wang Huilong's expedition is not necessarily aimed at us, maybe it is to guard against the Song army in the cloud in the west."

"impossible!"

Once the seeds of doubt are planted, it means that the crime has been established.

At this moment, Gu Bi no longer believes in this set of rhetoric, or in other words, he has lost trust in Cui Hao.

"The Song army in Yunzhong also attacked Pingcheng before, but what did Cui Hao say? He said it was a feint attack! He didn't send a single soldier to resist!"

"I didn't resist at that time, but now I have deployed tens of thousands of troops... Is this reasonable?"

"Besides..."

"I arrived at Yanmen on the front foot, and Wang Huilong followed me to Mayi on the back foot. How can there be such a coincidence in this world?"

Gu Bi brought about 3000 private soldiers, and Yanmen's original garrison numbered [-], which is about [-] less.

It is not difficult for [-] troops to resist Wang Huilong's [-] troops...

But is this a question of whether to hold it or not?
Gu Bi was panicked at first, and then angry.

Cui Hao, after all, still doesn't trust him!
"Come here! Send my letter to Song Jun."

Gu Bi made a decisive decision without any further hesitation, and took the opportunity of Gu Bi to send herbal medicine again to send a letter to Song Jun.

Just now.

Wang Huilong also suddenly remembered the existence of Gu Bi.

"Hmph! Privately mobilizing the army to defend the capital, you are really a courtier!"

Wang Huilong, who was educated in conservative Confucianism, has firmly engraved the idea of ​​"loyalty to the emperor and patriotism" in his bones.

Gu Bi's deeds are simply unforgivable to Wang Huilong!
"And this person has always been at odds with the prime minister, and at the same time has a high prestige among the Xianbei clan... If you don't beat him, it will be a big disaster in the future!"

Wang Huilong is not only a staunch "Sinicization" reformer, but also a staunch supporter of Cui Hao.

In particular, Wang Huilong gradually learned some of Cui Hao's political views during his relationship with Cui Hao.

Cui Hao hopes that after Tuoba Tao regains Hebei, he will thoroughly promote the Sinicization of Xianbei, and even wants to "organize human relationships and distinguish surnames and clans."

To put it simply, it is to transform and transplant the political model of the Jin Dynasty that ruled everything.

The Xianbei clan can be completely changed to a Han surname, and then integrated into the aristocratic family, and the "Hua-Yi debate" in the Northern Wei Dynasty can be completely resolved by "distinguishing surnames and clans".

Such a blueprint constructed by Cui Hao is inexplicably attractive to people like Wang Huilong who come from a family like Wang Huilong, especially those who come from the top family of Taiyuan Wang.

For this reason, Wang Huilong naturally does not allow "extremists" like Gu Bi to destroy the world Cui Hao wants to build in the future.

"I'll write him a book and ask him to apologize to the prime minister after the war!"

"At least... let him be subdued!"

Of course, Wang Huilong's mind is not so simple, nor is he so high-spirited.

Admitting mistakes is false, if Gu Bi can be allowed to admit his mistakes, it is equivalent to admitting that his existence is detrimental to the imperial power.In this way, it may be possible to use this to completely uproot some stubborn Xianbei nobles!

Wang Huilong could see that after Cui Hao moved his capital to Yecheng in the future, he would definitely attack these corrupt and stubborn Xianbei nobles.

Gu Bi is the knife that Wang Huilong handed to Cui Hao!
As for whether Gu Bi will admit his counsel, Wang Huilong has no doubts.

The [-] army is squatting here in Mayi.

There is Song Jun in the front and Wang Huilong in the back. What can Gu Bi do?
Thinking of this, Wang Huilong lay leisurely on a deck chair enjoying the scenery of Mayi.

The mountains in front of him are no longer mountains, and the water is no longer water, but the future.

The future Northern Wei Dynasty will be a behemoth that re-occupies the north!With the talents of Tuoba Tao and Cui Hao, as long as they are given territory and time, Wang Huilong believes that he will be able to avenge his family sooner or later!

If one day he can break through Chang'an and eliminate Liu Song, he will definitely dig out Liu Yu's bones and throw them into ashes!There is also Liu Song's clan, Liu Yizhen, Liu Yilong... None of them can escape!
By the way, there was that general who was like a mad dog in Qingzhou back then, who seemed to be called Shen Tianzi...

Thinking of this, Wang Huilong's mood suddenly became extremely comfortable, and a somewhat cold and terrifying smile appeared on his face.

Staying until nightfall, Wang Huilong wrapped his clothes and was about to go back to the military tent to rest, but he heard a commotion in the military camp.

"You guys! Don't make any noise in the ranks! Go and get ten army sticks yourself!"

Although Wang Huilong had a headache, he didn't care too much.

The soldiers under him are all trash, and it is not incomprehensible that they have poor discipline.

But hearing the commotion not only didn't stop, but got worse, Wang Huilong knew something was wrong.

"what happened?"

Wang Huilong came to the location of the commotion and found that some scouts had gathered to quarrel.

"General."

When a school officer saw Wang Huilong coming, he hurried to his side, and whispered in Wang Huilong's ear, "A few scouts didn't come back at night, we are checking what kind of military affairs they are going to perform."

Wang Huilong frowned: "Could it be deserters?"

"No."

"The treatment of the Scout Battalion in the entire army is considered good. It is impossible for these people to escape."

After a while, after an extremely inefficient one-by-one check, it was finally found out where the scouts who hadn't returned had gone.

"General, they...you sent to Yanmen to deliver a letter to General Gu Bi!"

Yanmen!

Wang Huilong's heart jumped suddenly, and a bad premonition enveloped his whole body.
