Chapter 328 The counterattack of the shrimp soldiers and crab generals

Min Shaoqing focused on how to deal with Liu Yu's old subordinates, and gave up and continued to expand the results of the battle. In his opinion, the grassland was large and sparse, and the weather suddenly changed and was extremely unsuitable for farming. The court was not worth occupying such barren land. It would be difficult to win the battle and maintain peace on the border for more than ten years.

His thoughts were different from Liu Yu. What Liu Yu thought was to include the grassland in the territory of the Dashun Dynasty in one battle. At least, the Dashun Dynasty should also establish a puppet regime on the grassland and use the grassland people to govern the grassland people.

Different directions, the methods used are also different.

After winning the battle in Jinyaocheng, Liu Yu pursued all the way and fell into Min Shaoqing's trap. Although Liu Yu is missing, Liu Yu's subordinates are basically influenced by Liu Yu and have accepted Liu Yu's blueprint concept that Liu Yu must pacify the grassland. They must strive to complete control of military power, continue to expand the results of the war, and make the Turks completely surrender to the iron hoof of the Central Plains dynasty.

Ma Feng once had some doubts about Hua Ji'an's sudden surrender. Unexpectedly, Min Shaoqing, who was cautious in daily life, was also misled. He said disdainfully: "Just a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals, what kind of trouble can it cause?"

What I worry most about Min Shaoqing is Huo Bing. Because Huo Bing is indeed a general, under Liu Yu, only Huo Bing may threaten the stability of the imperial power. As for Li Mi and Sui Yi, he didn't care much. As for the surrendered general Hua Ji'an, he felt that there was no need to care, and he had no intention of caring. Since he could lead his army back from Huo Bing's army, he could see how incompetent Hua Ji'an was in Huo Bing's eyes.

Such a person can feed him a sweet date as a meal, and just turn around and write him down on the credit book.

Min Shaoqing did not expect that this surrendered general in the eyes of others was a small person who was not worth mentioning. He was the successor appointed by Liu Yu, a good teacher and friend trusted by Liu Yu's generals. The purpose of returning to Jin Yaocheng this time was not as simple as it seemed.

Hua Ji'an seemed very low-key when he entered Jin Yao City. At this time, the Shunchao army was stationed here. There were camps everywhere in the city that were originally small. Hua Ji'an was not in a hurry to discuss this matter with He Mao. He didn't know what He Mao's attitude was. But now looking at Min Shaoqing's attitude towards hiring people at today's banquet, this should be a manifestation of trusting his own people. He Mao was upright. This time, Min Shaoqing was trying to murder the head coach and seize the position of coach. He Mao could not become the person Min Shaoqing trusted.

According to Hua Ji'an's instructions, Huo Bing and Li Mi Sui Yi stopped the army 600 miles away from Jinyao City and stopped moving forward. For two consecutive days, Min Shaoqing sent an envoy to urge Huo Bing to return to Jinyao City as soon as possible so that the army could join forces to return to the court.

In Min Shaoqing's view, this war has been won, and there is no need to continue to stay on the grassland. This is very unfavorable to the supply of the front line. Min Shaoqing was also afraid that the Turks would suddenly emerge from some hole to block their way. Jin Yaocheng was the second nightmare place for Min Shaoqing, the first. Of course, it was Xuzhou City that he had guarded. Min Shaoqing had no love for Jin Yaocheng, so he didn't want to stay here for more. He still wanted to stabilize the overall situation earlier. In his view, only by withdrawing all the troops back to the pass and replacing the border generals with his own people, so that the situation on the border will be stable. The next step is to erode the power of Liu Yu's remaining party in the capital, in fact, Qi Fang and Zhang Wuzhu, these two are his major concerns.

The idea was good, but he obviously ignored Hua Ji'an in Jinyao City.

Hua Ji'an was not impatient or impatient, and did not give anyone the opportunity to see through his intentions. It was the third day after entering Jinyao City that he avoided the eyes and ears of his guards and went to see He Mao who was idle in the city. He did not deliberately visit him, but on He Mao's way to the military meeting. Although Min Shaoqing had already undermined He Mao, he would still invite He Mao to come over at some military meetings. This is a basic etiquette.

Hua Ji'an was also the invited member of the military conference. The two seemed to be talking on the road for a while. Because the followers had been thrown away by Hua Ji'an, no one knew what they were saying.

In fact, Hua Ji'an asked a question at the beginning, which made He Mao's brows deeply locked.

"Wuyi Hou, was he killed by General Min's design?"

He Mao expressed deep regret for Liu Yu's disappearance and had contact with the Turks. Although he had no tangible evidence, he knew that this matter was indeed done by Min Shaoqing. The murder of the commander who defeated the Turks in Shun Dynasty was the most taboo thing for soldiers. The following are the most serious crimes. Even if Liu Yu is a powerful minister, the emperor should decide his life and death. It is obvious that Min Shaoqing has surpassed power.

He Mao didn't say much, Hua Ji'an seemed to say something casually, and the two of them seemed to have a few casual conversations. Everything was very detailed, and even He Mao's guards didn't notice anything strange. But Hua Ji'an finally said: "If General He thinks that Min Shaoqing will be more suitable than Wuyi Hou, then there is nothing to say. If General He thinks that Shunchao's safety should not be related to thieves like Min Shaoqing, and the northern grassland should also use a more reasonable way to completely quell this problem, then General He might as well talk tonight!"

Hua Ji'an gave He Mao enough time to consider, which also made He Mao make a decision, whether to continue to help Min Shaoqing or Liu Yu's old subordinates. Although He Mao didn't know who Hua Ji'an was planning for now, he could feel that Hua Ji'an's attitude was consistent with Liu Yu, that was, to use force to make the grassland completely surrender, instead of fighting today and going to rest tomorrow, and fighting again in the future.

He Mao is a soldier and does not know how to be gentle. In fact, in the hearts of most soldiers, glory is always the first. Even those generals who surrendered to Min Shaoqing have a very slight remark on Min Shaoqing's withdrawal. After all, the opportunity is so good now that they can pacify the Turks in one fell swoop. If they miss this village, there will be no such store. In the future, the Turks will make a comeback. Should they still let their descendants bleed and sacrifice?

That night, He Mao stepped back from the guards and met Hua Ji'an alone. The two talked very late. After that, He Mao went back secretly and contacted many people who were once powerful in the border army, many of which were the old deployments of the Dingguo Marquis. Although many people thought he was conceited, no one could deny his contribution to the border army. The Dingguo Marquis was also a famous general in the Shun Dynasty to fight against the Turks. Now the Dingguo Marquis is no longer there, and Min Shaoqing is so abusing power, which makes some honest veterans of the border army quite indignant.

Liu Zhao, the Marquis of Dingguo, was forced away by these people. Now, the son of Liu Zhao, the Marquis of Dingguo, has won the only one big victory in hundreds of years and was killed by his own people. Is there any reason for this? It’s not that you say who is a powerful minister or a powerful minister. Many people also think that although Liu Yu is a bit autocratic, he has made contributions to the new emperor. After pacifying Huai land, Liu Yu was indeed leaving the matter, which made some veterans admire him in private conversations.
