The big man is on the run

Chapter 81 I, Meng Da, don't bully young people into poverty!

After Wang Chang left, Li Jue stared at the Seven Star Sword and fell silent, just waiting for Meng Da to come.

To be honest, he regretted it a little.

Still the same sentence, this moment and that moment.

At the beginning of the plan, Li Jue felt that it was not a loss for Da Simajia to open the mansion, plus the entire Sanfu area, to change the emperor with Guo Bang.

Anyway, the value of the imperial court has been basically wiped out by him, and with the Da Sima who ranks above the three princes and the authority to open the mansion alone, in the land of the three assistants, Li Jue is actually no different from the king of a country .

But who would have thought that Guo Si, a trash with an obvious advantage, would be killed by a little kid like the Son of Heaven!
"Waste, what a waste! If it were me, with Yang Ding, Dong Cheng, Yang Feng, and Zhang Ji, how could they be able to stop my Feixiong army on the plain?"

But right now, complaining is useless.

Since Guo Bang was defeated, Yang Ding was eliminated by the emperor's preemptive strike. Now he can only quickly send troops to catch up with the army and "invite" the emperor back to Chang'an.

The emperor is in Guo Bang's hands, he doesn't care about these things at all, but once the emperor loses control, he has to chase him back.

This is also the reason why he mobilized army rations and fodder a while ago, ready to send troops at any time.

Looking at the map of Guanlong, Li Jue silently deduced the marching speed of both sides and the areas where the battle might break out.

This is an essential habit of a good general.

If you don't know the wind, frost, rain and snow, and the geography of mountains and rivers, how can you march and fight?
Li Jue thought that if the officers and soldiers brought the people to cross the river, if the two counties of Hedong and Hanoi had been notified in advance, then there would definitely be no shortage of boats at the Yellow River crossing at Longmendu.

And the officers and soldiers counted 3 to [-] people, and it was fast, so Li Jue couldn't delay in time.

At the very least, the officers and soldiers should not be given the opportunity to cross the Yellow River.

Otherwise, if they cross the Yellow River, the flying bear army will not be able to chase them back even with their wings.

However, there is no floating bridge on the Weishui River in the Huayin section, so the officers and soldiers can only turn around and walk westward for a while, cross the Weishui River from Jingqiao, and then go east to Longmen to cross the Yellow River.

Therefore, after calculating the marching speed of both sides, the best place to engage in battle is in the area of ​​Weiqu Shayuan, catch up with the official army, and encircle and defeat them in flat terrain.

Just as Li Jue was meditating, a young man entered the room, and he respectfully saluted Li Jue.

"Subordinate Meng Da, I have met Da Sima!"

This person is Meng Da, a good friend from Fazheng's hometown.

This corresponds to the sentence, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, don't bully the young and poor!

The emperor liked Fazheng, but he looked down on Mengda, which naturally made him resentful.

Simply, since you don't like me, then I'll find someone who can.

The person Meng Da found was Da Sima Li Jue.

It happened that Li Jue didn't have many scribes, so he made Meng Da the head of the Da Sima Mansion. Although he was not a big official, he managed many small officials, which fully satisfied Meng Da's vanity.

In fact, if you think about it, you will know that Meng Da's grandfather was the governor of Liangzhou who was obtained by bribing eunuchs by bribing eunuchs. Meng Da himself was such a capricious villain in history, and Liu Yi would definitely not use him.

As for Meng Da, who saw that Fazheng was being used by his fellow countrymen and friends, he was jealous in his heart, and he had a little mentality of revenge against the court. It was a matter of course to follow his conduct.

Of course, if we only talk about character, Fazheng is probably even worse, arrogant, vengeful, alcoholic, etc. There are a lot of stink problems, and the role of a military staff officer who gives advice is extremely top-notch, but if you let him be a chief officer, then What a disaster.

And Liu Yi happens to be able to know people and use them well, which is why he doesn't use Meng Da in his usage.

It would be wrong to say that it is not necessary at all. Liu Yi did not deliberately suppress Meng Da, but only gave him a normal initial official position.

And Meng Da defected to Li Jue, more because the steelyard in his heart was out of balance, and he felt that he was talented but didn't get fair treatment.

Speaking of the moment, after Li Jue and Meng Da finished their ceremony, Li Jue gave a rough overview of the matter and asked Meng Da what plan he had.

"Great Sima, my subordinates feel that there may be something wrong with this matter, why not send someone to investigate first."

"Naturally." Li Jue nodded.

Meng Da didn't directly believe what he said, Li Jue felt that this man had brains to come up with ideas, and he appreciated it a little more.

There is no way, Li Jue's reputation is too bad, and the gentry are ashamed to associate with him, and only Meng Da is willing to take the initiative to post it. Of course, Meng Da's family's reputation is not that good.

"As for whether Wang Chang is a spy, it doesn't matter much. Let's think about it differently. Assuming that Wang Chang is a spy, since the imperial court can send a spy to Da Sima, Da Sima can also send a spy to the court to find out the truth. , maybe it might have a miraculous effect."

Li Jue took a deep look at Meng Da, and Meng Da pursed his lips nervously, waiting for Li Jue's response.

"Zijing, what you said makes sense." Li Jue paused, "In your opinion, who should be sent?"

Without any hesitation, Meng Da directly named the most suitable name in his mind.

"Zhang Xiu!"

"Why? Let's hear it."

"Big Sima, Yang Ding is dead right now."

Meng Da analyzed carefully: "The thief Yang Feng is determined to follow the emperor, and Dong Cheng has no possibility of instigating rebellion. If there is a countermeasure, only Zhang Ji can do it!"

"And" Meng Da looked at Li Jue's expression, "the Son of Heaven is mean and ungrateful, it can be said that Zhang Ji was dissatisfied a long time ago, and he couldn't escape due to various considerations. Anyway, Guo Si was defeated, Guo Wei and General Li Xian were both dead. It is useless to keep Zhang Xiu, and it would be a pity to kill him, why not treat him well, and then let him return to Zhang Ji to persuade him to rebel, maybe he will be able to instigate Zhang Ji's rebellion?"

"Oh"

Li Jue pondered for a moment, but felt that Meng Da's strategy was indeed feasible.

"Then I will leave this to you."

"Thank you, Sima!"

"and many more."

Li Jue raised his head and said, "Zijing thinks Duan Yan is trustworthy?"

"You can't believe it all, but you can't believe it."

Meng Da simply explained: "From the point of view of my subordinates, it is unlikely that Duan Yan will stand on the side of the court. It is normal for the two to not help each other. He went out of the city to fight Yang Ding, and it should be out of revenge, not on the side of the court. Together."

Li Jue nodded slightly. On this point, he believed what Wang Chang said.

Based on Li Jue's understanding of Duan Yan, he has no desires and desires for so many years, and he is used to the grass falling with the wind, so he should not easily bet on the court.

But just as Meng Da said, he cannot be completely trusted, but he also has to believe in him, and he may not be able to win over.

"Then trouble Zijing to write a letter to Duan Yao, and explain it clearly to him to see if he is willing to assist our army to act together. It is the best if you are willing. If you don't want to, it doesn't matter."

Meng Da took over the second job as well, but couldn't help but said, "Grand Sima, please let your subordinates talk too much. Since Duan Yan can't be trusted, it's best not to go along the south bank of the Wei River when the army is deployed, or the main force Don't go this way."

Li Jue's expression was full of mystery, he stroked his beard and said.

"Naturally, this time, the imperial court will definitely not be able to guess where the flying bear army came from."
