Chapter 53: Seeing Off Friends
Seeing that all three of them opposed the Sima family's destruction, Jia Xu continued indifferently: "Since this is the case, it's okay.
Now that the emperor has been taken into his hands by our army, we just need to issue an order to his Sima family...
Transfer population to the surrounding counties to fill the shortcomings of the capital, and only the Sima family must be included. Let them enter Beijing immediately. If they come, if they leave the foundation of Hanoi, the Sima family will naturally only fall into the control of our army.
If they dare not come, our army will be famous. They can also seek rebellion by resisting orders and send local county soldiers to encircle him. This will also achieve the will of the lord, and can still be silent and shock the great families in Hebei."
If one plan failed, Jia Xu immediately came up with another plan. This time, he was not bloody, but he still wanted to lift the Sima family up.
But Sun Ce pointed at his great wonder and said, "When did I say that I want to destroy the Sima family? Your Wenhe sir, you really want to randomly make up charges for me! Do you want the Hebei aristocratic families to hate me to the core?"
When he heard that the lord refused to admit it, the sleek Jia Xu quickly stopped saying, "Lord forgives the crime, it is because my subordinates want to imagine the lord!"
Jia Xu said to forgive him, but there was no awareness of apologizing on his face. Sun Ce could only shake his head helplessly and smile a few bitterly when he smiled deeply at the old fox.
As soon as the name of the Sima family came to his ears, Sun Ce had a strong desire to destroy the Sima family. However, he gave up in a blink of an eye. Not to mention that the time has not come, the few in the Sima family are considered talents. If they are talents, they should not be wasted.
Only this moment of murderous thought was seen by Jia Xu, which made Sun Ce admire the sharp eyes of this old guy.
"Mr. Wenhe, this plan is pretty good, it is better than the previous trick of the ultimate goal. However, whether we want to deal with the Sima family or the Hu clan, we need to make a long-term plan.
We must select the right allies and divide and disintegrate the forces we want to deal with. Let’s talk about these things when we arrive in Luoyang and gain a firm foothold!”
~~~~~~~
When Taishi Ci led the army to escort Emperor Xian, who was still unwilling to get on the car, the team immediately took action and quickly left the battlefield.
In order to avoid the long nights and dreams, Taishici and Zhang Hong decided to pass Mianchi and did not enter, and rushed to Luoyang without stopping. Fortunately, the two were cautious. In this way, they finally escaped the final pursuit of Li Jue's army and entered Luoyang smoothly.
After receiving the report from Hu Feng, who was lucky enough to escape, Li Jue suddenly became furious when he knew that his nephew had died under the ambush of the Jiangnan Army.
Originally, Li Guo and others predicted that it would be a sure thing to win over Emperor Xian’s subordinates who were almost destroyed by these three thousand elite cavalry soldiers. Therefore, Li Jue, who was far behind, had already ordered the army to set up camp and wait for Li Li to bring Emperor Xian back.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Xian did not wait, but waited for the tragic news that Li Li died in battle and the cavalry suffered most of the casualties. This made Li Jue, who had never suffered such a great loss in recent years, and how could Guo Si bear this anger?
The two immediately ordered the soldiers who had just arrived to clean up the camp and started chasing them with all their might again. However, Hu Feng and others went back and forth, and the soldiers took a lot of time to clean up the tents.
When Li Jue's soldiers set off again in complaints, it was already completely dark. Even so, Li Jue did not let the soldiers stop and camp on the spot. Instead, he ordered the marching troops to light a large number of torches and continue to rush.
On the dark and rugged road, countless soldiers were thrown into a blue nose and swollen face. Tens of thousands of troops finally found themselves exploring the battlefield where Li Li's cavalry had been annihilated in the middle of the night.
At this time, of course, only the sparse starlight left behind, the empty battlefield under the sparse starlight. In addition to the air, there was a faint smell of blood. It means that many people died here not long ago.
There were no traces of battles carefully cleaned. Li Jue roared at the sky with a grief and anger: "Sun Bofu, you despicable villain, dare to sneak attack and kill my nephew of the Li family. I am irreconcilable to you!"
The whistling sounded, and the soldiers searching there were already clamoring and caught a spy who was spying on military affairs. Soon a seven-foot-foot-strong man was taken to Li Jue by everyone.
The strong man looked smart and immediately knelt down on the ground when he saw Li Jue and shouted, "Grand Sima! General! The young man is not a spy, but Li Zheng, the former guard of Li Lema, the general of the North.
The boy stayed here because he came to meet the general on the orders of our general and General Zhengdong. Our general said he was willing to be the general and seize Emperor Xian together. However, the general wanted to ensure that our general, General Zhengbei and General Zhengdong would not be implicated afterwards."
Li Jie's eyes flashed, and his face immediately showed a surprise look: "Li Le, Han Xian is willing to be an insider? Haha, it's really God helping me!
The hero asked, please get up! The two generals can return to the wrong path and abandon the darkness and turn to the light. This general and Guo welcome it. How can they do anything unfavorable to you? The Grand Sima promised that after the matter was completed, the position of the two generals would not have any impact on them.
I will also submit a letter to the emperor for the two generals, and grant two titles as the guards of the pass, and have two households. I will also give two titles heavily on materials! Li Zheng, if you have made contributions to the news, I will not treat you badly! You can be a cavalry captain for the time being!"
During this period, Li Jue and Guo Si also felt that the power in their hands was somewhat insufficient. Although they had many more soldiers than before, they did not have enough powerful generals to lead and train, and their combat effectiveness had decreased significantly.
Now that someone can surrender, although it is not a peerless general, it is far better than nothing.
Guo Si, who was originally standing behind Li Jie, was also happy: "Li Zheng, good boy, do you know how many troops came from the Jiangnan army? How many soldiers are there in the emperor? I will report it carefully for the combat power!"
Since the two of them launched a pursuit, the troops who protected Emperor Xian have been constantly changing. Every time they looked, they were eliminated, and there would be an increase in the blink of an eye. However, after nearly a year of chaos, there was no definite information on protecting Emperor Xian's combat power.
Now that there is an internal support, military information has become their most concerned thing.
From a small pawn, he just reported a letter and was suddenly promoted to the position of the Chief Commander. How could Li Zheng not be overjoyed?
He immediately kowtowed and thanked: "Boy thanked the Grand Sima and the General! Report to the General! The cavalry coming to the Jiangnan Army this time were only three or four thousand cavalry, and with the soldiers collected by other generals, all the troops should be 8,000.
The Grand Sima and the General only need to chase the emperor. With two generals from my family, they can fight with each other inside and outside. At most, only 5,000 will be left.
The Grand Sima and the General will surely be able to easily destroy them."
Li Le and Han Xian also saw Li Guo's pursuit of troops continued, but Emperor Xian's blockade was getting weaker and weaker. After repeated weighing the pros and cons, he wanted to surrender to Li Jue, who was stronger. If the official position was still the same, who would not help?
After sending Li Zheng, Li Le and Han Xian were caught in a mixed relationship of joy and sorrow. What was worried was that the cavalry of the Jiangnan Army led by Taishi Ci was almost unstoppable, leaving Li Guo's pursuers completely without the chance to catch up.
Moreover, they put eight majestic war horses on Emperor Xian's carriage. In the previous battle, thousands of Xiliang cavalry were wiped out, and the scarce war horses in the team became everywhere.
The emperor's vanguard, which had originally slowed down the entire team, is now moving forward like a flying horse under the guidance of the galloping war horse.
The ministers and palace maids who were walking also got on the carriage, and the marching speed increased by more than several times. It was not until ten days later that Emperor Xian entered Luoyang City, and Li Jue's army could not catch up.
What made Li Le and the other two overjoyed was that the new general Yang Feng, the cavalry general, bid farewell to Emperor Xian before entering Luoyang. He took more than a thousand people under his command and left Luoyang and turned to Hedong.
Yang Feng, who had no strength, lost the most important general Xu Huang, and now he has the Jiangnan army far stronger than him. Yang Feng was even more worried all day long along the way. He was worried that he would be destroyed by the side of Emperor Xian again.
Even if you have to guard Emperor Xian, you have to wait until the reorganization of the troops has gained strength.
When he saw Yang Feng, the leader, left, the Youxian King, who also had little strength, left to Bei and bowed to Emperor Xian.
But he had no intention of coming to Luoyang again, but was planning to use the title of Xiongnu lieutenant granted by Emperor Xian to return to the frontier to unite the various Xiongnu tribes and become the great shanyu of the tribe.
As for what the life and death of Emperor Xian will have to do with him in the future, it is just the emperor of the Han people. The Hun soldiers have already paid more than a thousand precious lives for Emperor Xian. They don’t want to waste their strength on Emperor Xian who has no benefit.
As soon as the two left, they took away nearly 2,000 soldiers, and the protection strength around Emperor Xian was much lowered. What surprised Li Le was that Zhang Hong, who had already mastered the overall situation, did not show any retention to the two who said goodbye.
Going to the emperor, he left the emperor, and took a thousand Hun soldiers and nearly three thousand war horses to the ferry, preparing to go north to go home. However, the horse team was intercepted by Taishici, who personally led a thousand cavalrymen and intercepted them halfway.
Looking at the heavy cavalry of the Jiangnan Army who had formed an attacking formation, the vanguard formation emitted a heavy murderous aura, which had suppressed the fighting spirit of the Huns. The Huns, who were originally able to go home and were in a relaxed mood, all began to have some riots.
As the commander, Qubei's face turned red and he rushed forward and shouted: "Taishici, I have already bid farewell to your emperor, why do you still lead the soldiers to block the way!
Could it be that you have used this king for nothing, and you would do the evil deeds of breaking the bridge across the river?"
I have been together in the Han area for many years. I have a good foundation in Chinese and speak very well.
Taishici chuckled: "Youxian King! I will be kind enough to see you off. How can you talk nonsense to your loyal good friends?"
