Fufeng Song

() Sima Yue couldn't help being extremely surprised, hastily unfolded the silk book in his hand, and read aloud:

"The minister is obstinate, his ambition is limited, and because of a chance meeting, he passed his post... The road is dangerous and mountainous, the road is blocked by Hu Kou, and he will attack the crowd with a small number of people. He will take risks and go forward. In the prefectures and borders, witnessing poverty, wandering and scattered, ten out of ten, supporting the old and the weak, never stop on the road. And those who are there, sell their wives, give up their lives, die in danger, their bones lie wild, and the voice of mourning, Sentimental and kind..."

This silk book is a military report written by Liu Yueshi himself, and it was delivered directly to the Donghai Palace without going through the official office.Sima Yue impatiently skipped the previous text describing the tragedy of Bingzhou, and went directly to see the course of the war.

It turned out that after learning that Liu Yuan led an army to attack Jiexiu, an important military town, Liu Kun went south to fight.The main forces of the two sides fought fiercely in the area from Daling to Xicheng for more than ten days, and Liu Kun's troops gradually gained the upper hand.

During this period, Liu Kun's general Lu Yao killed the Huns' brave general and champion general Qiao Xi in Qixian County, and wiped out more than [-] Huns in one fell swoop, making great contributions.

Later, Liu He, the virtuous king of Zuo, led the elite Xiongnu troops stationed in Mengjin to attack Shangdang by surprise.Long Jimeng, the former general of Sima Teng, the former governor of Bingzhou, rebelled and cooperated with the enemy from inside and outside. The Jin army lost troops and lost ground, and suffered heavy losses.The Hu people approached the city of Jinyang.

Unexpectedly, Liu Kun had a countermeasure. He sneaked back to Jinyang secretly and organized to meet the enemy.Just when the Hu people were trying to attack the city, Tuoba Xianbei's cavalry suddenly came and attacked the Jinyang defenders on both sides, and the Hu people were defeated.In this battle, the Jin army and the Xianbei army beheaded a total of more than [-] people, and countless others surrendered; they beheaded more than a dozen people from powerful chieftains such as Zuo Jianshang Wang He Laigu, Zuo Gudu Hou Xububa; First to show the public.Liu He, the wise king of the left of the Xiongnu, fled into the lake and marsh area of ​​Zhaoyuqi along the Fenshui River, only to escape with his body.Taking advantage of the great victory, the Jinyang defenders immediately moved eastward to recover Xiangyuan, Shangdang and other places.The Xianbei cavalry went south to join the main force of the Jin army.

After learning that King Zuoxian's troops had failed, the morale of the Xiongnu army that besieged Jiexiu was greatly depressed.There were even rumors in the army that the Great Chanyu Liu Yuan was vomiting blood anxiously.At the same time, the pressure of protracted war was unbearable for the Xiongnu, who raised an army of tens of thousands in a mere Xihe County.A few days later, they gave up the siege of Jiexiu, withdrew their troops, and made a gesture of retreating.

Taking advantage of the victory, the Jin army went after the Jiexiu defenders with a considerable force, and sent troops to recover Jingling, Zhongdu, Wuxian and other cities.Liu Kun led his elite troops to detour from the west of Zhongyang, intending to seize the Queshu Valley along the Tongjun Chuanshan Road and outflank the back of the Xiongnu army.

But Liu Kun underestimated Liu Yuan's tenacity and superb military skills.Taking advantage of the opportunity when the Jin army was divided into several groups, Liu Yuan suddenly swung his army back and launched a fierce attack on the Jin army camp in Daling.This desperate blow was completely beyond the expectations of the Jin army. The Jin army fought hard for two hours, and finally collapsed without support.General Zhechong Lu Bosheng, Yamen General Xing Yan and other generals were almost absent from the army.It was only thanks to the brave general Ding Miao, who had returned from Jiexiu, that he led the iron cavalry to make repeated assaults, and gradually stabilized his position.

The Huns left with one blow, and the army slowly moved south, while Liu Yuan led Qingqi thousands of days and nights to rush back to Queshu Valley without delay. The continuous mountains in the northeast were intercepted by Liu Yuan.The two armies fought a series of bitter battles, and both sides suffered heavy losses.The flood season at the turn of several summers has come, and it is difficult to pass through the Baili Road in Queshu Valley.This two-month battle, in which both sides have mobilized nearly [-] soldiers, has come to an end.Although the Jin army defending Taiyuan suffered heavy losses, the Xiongnu suffered even more.Their plot to occupy Bingzhou was hit head-on, and tens of thousands of troops were lost. In particular, the elite soldiers of the five Huns were severely injured, and at least it was impossible to send troops to attack again within a year.

"Okay! Okay! This is a great victory!" Sima Yue clapped his hands together, held the silk book tightly in his hands, and walked back and forth on the high platform, very excited.

"Your Majesty..." Liu Yu stepped forward and said, "The Xiongnu suffered an unprecedented defeat in this battle. Not only did they lose a lot of troops, but their prestige among the Hu people was also greatly frustrated. The minds of the Zahu tribe are floating, and the Xiongnu will inevitably be unstable. If they can take advantage of this opportunity and order a general to lead the army to Jihe, at least they can capture Mengjindu on the Yellow River and the two cities of Heyang and Wenxian in Hebei, and eliminate Luoyang in one fell swoop. threat."

Sima Yue was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Qingsun's idea is very good. It's just that dispatching a large army is no small matter. Why don't you make a decision after convening your colleagues to discuss carefully?"

These words are undoubtedly an excuse, how could Liu Yu not understand.He let out a mouthful of foul air and sighed secretly.He knew that the King of the East China Sea had no intention to take the initiative to fight the Huns.Whether it is the East China Sea King, or his political allies Wang Yan, Pei Dun and others, they have been intensively organizing the matter of the East China Sea King leaving the town of Xuchang recently.These people only focused on the struggle for power within the imperial court, and did not regard the suppression of the Huns' rebellion as a top priority, and they saw that the golden opportunity was missed.

He was very thoughtful, and in a blink of an eye he thought that he and the Liu Kun brothers held secrets and the town, although they did not belong to the direct line team from the East China Sea, they had real power.The king of the East China Sea politely refused to send troops to attack the Xiongnu. How could he know that there was no reason for not wanting to see the strength of the Liu brothers overinflated?

Sima Yue immediately noticed Liu Yu's psychological changes.Liu Yu is known as one of the "Three Talents of the Yue Mansion", and he has been his indispensable and capable staff in recent years. Sima Yue is still very polite to this shrewd and capable subordinate.He reopened the silk book and looked at it carefully, and said with a smile to Liu Yu: "Qingsun, Liu Yueshi has made such great achievements, and the imperial court can't be stingy with rewards. I'll ask you to handle the relevant matters, and you must do it properly. I will write a letter to report to the relevant government office."

Liu Yu was startled, bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The two talked a few more about daily matters, and Liu Yu left.

Sima Yue looked at the county magistrate Jingling who was sitting beside him, and asked, "Jingling, you seem to have something on your mind?"

The county magistrate of Jingling smiled and said: "Jingling has nothing on his mind, he just listened to the conversation between his father and Mr. Qingsun, and thought of the two famous courtiers."

"Oh? Who did Jingling think of?" Sima Yue asked with interest.

The magistrate of Jingling County held back her train and saluted, and said softly, "What my daughter thinks of is Peng Zu, King of Youzhou, and General Gou Dao of Yanzhou."

Sima Yue's expression changed slightly.Youzhou's Ningbei General Wang Jun and Yanzhou Inspector Gou Xi, both of them are Fang Bo with strong strength outside the Donghai King's direct line team.Although Sima Yue was able to take charge of the government and relied on the support of the two, but as time went by, he gradually felt that the tail was too big to lose.With these two bad examples before him, Sima Yue couldn't let Sima Yue not pay attention to Liu Kun who was out of town and state.

After all, the Liu brothers had attached themselves to many clan kings successively during the political turmoil in the past few years. People at that time often regarded them as frivolous and clever people, and their reputation was not very good.And Liu Kun's ability to defeat the [-] Huns has surpassed Sima Yue's imagination.

Unexpectedly, a thought flashed in his mind, but the County Lord Jingling saw through it at a glance.

Sima Yue forced a smile and said, "Liu Yueshi is bold and generous, unlike Wang and Gou."

The head of Jingling County turned his eyes, and suddenly changed the subject: "In Governor Liu's documents, his subordinate Lu Yao made great contributions. This man, my daughter has met before."

"Oh? But I don't know how this person is?"

"This Lu Yao belongs to the old army of King Xincai. He lived in Liting and Changping when the Daling army collapsed. He didn't know how to join Liu Yueshi's command. This man has a little bit of talent for city and military affairs. However, he looks gentle on the outside, but strong and proud on the inside. , is difficult to control. It is not a generation who has lived under others for a long time."

Sima Yue pondered, tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and fell into deep thought.
