Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1347
"Talk about it?"

Everyone in the tent, including Xie Ai, couldn't react for a while when they heard what the general said, so they subconsciously asked a question.

Shen Zhezi nodded his head as a matter of course, and then sighed before saying: "So far, the Northern Expedition has been engaged in affairs, and there have been swordsmen and soldiers from the Jienushi clan and conquests on the battlefield, but there is no time to stop and communicate for a while. The current situation is already In this way, if we don’t talk about it, I’m afraid there will be even more chances in the future.”

Hearing this, the generals were inevitably more confused.Xie Ai had some aftertaste, but he didn't dare to be sure that he could do the best of the general's strategy. After pondering for a while, he asked for instructions again: "So, should Fangtou come forward to talk or go on stage? Just talk about the current affairs Or talk about the rest?"

Hearing Xie Ai's question, Shen Zhezi nodded slightly in satisfaction. Xie Ai is not specialized in military affairs, and his vision is much larger than that of other aspects of Xingtai. This is why he can rest assured that Xie Ai is the only leader. important reason.

In the final analysis, war is just a continuation of politics, and a war without political goals is a completely unnecessary and senseless war.Although since the Northern Expedition, Shen Zhezi has always flaunted the slogan that the Han and the thieves are not independent, and the Jin and Hu are not coexistent, and in terms of Wang Tong's righteousness, there is absolutely no possibility of backing down on this point.

But ideals and slogans are on the one hand, and reality is on the other. Wanting to completely and thoroughly solve all the troubles in the current world is tantamount to nonsense.In the end, the original history was able to get out of the chaotic times that lasted for hundreds of years, not because the Han or the Hu people completely wiped out the enemy, but through integration.

This road of integration is a road that has been explored by countless outstanding people in different periods for hundreds of years, and they have made breakthroughs and finally blazed a road.The troubled times of the Northern and Southern Dynasties were really a big arena where you go and go. History already has the answer to who will win in the end.

Shen Zhezi didn't have to rigidly imitate the creation of the Sui and Tang emperors, and even kept the room for maneuver and change. I think the previous attempt to build a political and military group similar to Guanlong with the Shen family as the center has already been established. Be rejected by him.

There are still many uncertainties in the future, but one thing is certain is that the wave of Hulu internal migration will not stop abruptly because of the strong rise of a certain regime.This is a general trend caused by natural and man-made disasters, many reasons, and accumulation over the years.

There are only traces of the development of the Hus, let alone the Jie Hu who is dying and the Diqiang Hu Qin who has been strangled in the bud, Murong Qianyan still has not been able to pull out the quagmire of internal struggle, and the Xiongnu Hu who has not yet made a fortune Xia will be severely hit in northern Shaanxi, or will be completely devastated.

But there is also a Tuoba Dynasty that Xianbei claimed the head of. Even though the Tuoba family was destroyed first in history and then won the country, after becoming the overlord of the north, they still have to face the invasion of Rouran, a rising star.Even if Rouran was defeated, it would leave the Northern Wei Dynasty with the bane of Six Towns.After the six towns entered Hebei, the Turks prospered instead.

Shen Zhezi also wants to remain blindly tough, kill Ziehu painfully, and never compromise, but this is not something that can be achieved by one person's selfish desires.The people of Zhuxia suffered from the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms first, and then the disaster of Yongjia. How much blood is left to be shed?And the surge of Hu Chao that I saw was still hundreds of years away!

Therefore, in Shen Zhezi's conception, the Northern Expedition to conquer Jiezhao can only be said to be the achievement of a short-term goal.In the future, the newly emerging empire based on this must learn to dance with wolves and sleep with thieves, and have more mature and rich means to meet and respond to the constant provocations from the frontier barbarians.

To ensure that the Chinese lineage is not easy for a thousand years, and that the Hulu can no longer surpass the Xia, war is naturally the most important means.But other than that, we must never only appeal to war. Turning the barbarians into useful, and even using the barbarians to control the barbarians is an issue that needs to be taken seriously from now on.

Of course, this is a longer-term plan, and there is no need for Shen Zhezi to mention it to the generals right now. Regarding Xie Ai's question, he just replied: "Let's talk with Fangtou first, and directly spread rumors about Ma Qiu and Fen Wu. The army must return safely! If he wants to stop the poor killing, he must be prepared to die here. After crossing the river, the rest of the king's army will ignore it and turn to kill the bandit army in Ye. All the murderers will not be left behind! No matter whether he escapes To the ends of the earth, Shi Jilong can't protect him!"

Hearing the general's fierce and murderous words, the generals couldn't help being a little dumbfounded. So this is the so-called talk?Ma Qiu is the general of the enemy country, and for him, the Fenwu army is the army of thieves who violated the border. How normal is it to send troops to stop them?As a result, it will lead to the end of forging a personal enmity and endless death. Isn't this too unreasonable?

But I have to say that the arbitrariness and unreasonableness shown by the general at this moment really pleased the generals, so much so that the disappointment caused by the general's rejection of the plan to use troops here on a large scale gradually faded away. subside.

It's just whether they are arrogant or not, this is their business, will Ma Qiu be intimidated?If he is not intimidated, is he really going to disregard other things and gather all the people on the North Road to kill this person immediately?
Xie Ai saw this more clearly, and said: "If you are really intimidating, Ma Qiu may be intimidated. Originally, fighting to return to the teacher is not the target he must kill quickly. He has to think about it a little bit to provoke unnecessary grievances. However, if you want him to give up blocking Fenwu, you can't just rely on intimidation."

"As long as Fenwu has no worries in the short term, this matter is half settled. The thief will be threatened by this, and he must be ashamed and resentful. If he summons any conditions, then we can discuss it later."

After deciding on such a strategy, Shen Zhezi became more calm, and then his face could not hide the tired look.

Seeing this, Xie Ai settled the matter first, and then raised his hand to signal the end of the meeting. All the generals returned to their troops and waited for orders. Then he looked at Shen Zhezi and asked for instructions: "The matter of the general entering the town..."

"I don't need to disclose it to the outside world for the time being. I won't stay here for too long. Afterwards, I will return to Xingtai and wait until the military situation in the north is settled, and then I will formally go to various sides of Hebei to comfort the troops."

Shen Zhezi spoke, and then added: "At that time, I should stay in Hebei for a long time, waiting for the affairs of the Jie Kingdom to be decided."

When Xie Ai heard this, he couldn't help being overjoyed, knowing that the general had let him know in advance that when he came to Hebei next time, it would be the time to launch a general attack on the country of Jie, and hearing this tone, it should be time not far.In other words, the so-called talk, whether it is just talking with Ma Qiu of the Jie country, or later involving the Jie master Shihu, whichever step is discussed is a delaying tactic to gain strength for Xingtai.

So Xie Ai ordered people to isolate an area in Dongfang City for the general to live temporarily, and he also transferred his command tent to the vicinity of the general's residence so that the general could consult military affairs.

Afterwards, things developed exactly as Xie Ai expected.Ma Qiu in Yedi was gearing up to fight hard, and first used Yebei's troops to trap Fenwu Guishi there, and launched several tentative attacks, which also hurt each other, but it is certain that the Fenwu army along the way will never be defeated. The possibility of getting out of the encirclement again.

So Ma Qiu sat quietly and waited for Fangtou to respond. In order to let the bad situation of the Fenwu Army reach Fangtou in real time, he even deliberately left a few groups of people who were obviously running for help.However, what he never expected was that he had not waited for Fangtou to make any substantive actions, but he waited for such a letter with harsh words and full of threats.

"Thanks to someone, how dare you speak dangerously about this? Why does he treat me like a Ma Qiumu? The two countries are at war, attacking and killing should be done, breaking the great enmity of our capital, and threatening me with personal grievances! The war between the North and the South , is it just a child's play!"

After reading the contents of the letter, Ma Qiu couldn't believe his eyes. Originally, although he was hostile to Xie Ai, he still had admiration and admiration. He felt that after years of confrontation between the two sides, there should be a consensus of being both an enemy and a friend.

But what this letter conveyed was blatant contempt. Xie Ai treated him as a scissor thief, not a great general of the enemy country!

In a fit of rage, Ma Qiu drew out his sword, hacked and smashed the books in front of him, but then fell silent.Naturally, he would not be intimidated by such a letter. The North and the South attacked each other, and the generals and soldiers of each were involuntary and fate. Dare to kill the enemy!
But after calming down, he pondered for a while and still felt that such tricks were by no means what Xie Ai was used to, but why did he behave in such a strange way in the current season?Could it be that the rescue under Fang Boss really couldn't be dispatched calmly, although Xie Ai couldn't save him, but he was afraid of resentment in the country, so he used this to offend himself and use his own hands to settle the matter early?
This guess is really a bit taken for granted, even Ma Qiu just sneered after thinking about it, and no longer guess too much, doomed not to know the inside story.

But after such a malicious guess, his mood did improve a little bit. When Xie Ai made such a weird behavior, no matter whether he had some conspiracy to kill someone with a knife, or he was desperate and helpless, Fangtou has not rescued that person so far. The actions of fellow soldiers in the Jin army all the way are a fact.

After the anger was restrained, Ma Qiu still had the strong urge to wipe out the besieged Jin army. He didn't think this decision was really like Xie Aixin's words, don't provoke General Shen of the Southern Kingdom because of the boring battle The big complaint is that Xie Ai will definitely feel uncomfortable because of temporarily trapping this group of people.

The Fangtou Jin army sat back and watched the friendly army being trapped without rescuing them. Once the facts were confirmed, this would be a way to alienate Paoze from the Southern Kingdom.As long as that group of people still exists and waits for Fangtou's rescue, Ma Qiu believes that Xie Ai cannot do nothing, otherwise, even if General Shen of the Southern Kingdom has resentment, the resentment towards Xie Ai will definitely exceed the hatred towards himself.

Only in this way, it will inevitably make the other party feel that he is really intimidated by this and dare not kill him by force. After pondering for a while, Ma Qiu still ordered his confidants to draft a reply letter, saying that it is a heinous crime to send Xie Ai's Jin army to other countries If Xie Ai Ruo doesn't want to sit idly by, then make it clear that horses and chariots are coming to fight, and stop doing such boring intimidation tricks to make people laugh at the times.

From the heart, Ma Qiu still hopes that Xie Ai will treat himself as a real opponent, which is also a kind of respect for each other's current achievements and positions in the middle school.

However, not long after Ma Qiu sent out this letter of reply, Fangtou’s reply followed. This time, Xie Ai’s words were more polite than last time, and he bluntly said that he did not have full confidence in rescuing the Fenwu army, but Shen Yun, the general of Fenwu, was As a direct relative of General Xingtai, with such extraordinary achievements, he must not lose his life in Hebei.So he hoped that Ma Qiu would be open and honest about what kind of conditions he would let Shen Yun go.

"It's ridiculous to thank someone. After all, it's hard to get rid of the bad habits of desolation, desolation, coldness and bad habits. If it's an important task for the military and the country, you should expect to solve it through private letters? The children of the Shen family can't be wronged. Does it mean that our lord's heir's blood means his life is low?"

Seeing this reply, Ma Qiu became even more angry, but this anger was so angry that Xie Ai didn't love himself, and in order to follow his wishes, he went so far.

But even though he said so, Ma Qiu's mood was unavoidably heavy, because Xie Ai also said in the letter that since he was not sure enough to rescue Shen Yun, he would not save him at all. The Zhongda army went straight to Ye to avenge him, otherwise he would have no way to explain to the Xingtai General, not only his position would not be guaranteed, but his wealth and life might be hard to survive.

"Since you cherish the lives of your relatives, don't blame me for asking prices!"

Although Xie Ai's actions are already very shameless in his heart, Ma Qiu is still relatively timid in his heart to start a decisive battle with Fangtou at this moment. Although Xie Ai's character is revealed, his talent has also been demonstrated in the past few years vividly.

Now that there are many difficulties in the country, if there is a chance to attack and counterattack, Ma Qiu will not miss it, but if there is a decisive battle with Fangtou, if the battle is not good, Ma Qiu is worried that he will also provoke the wrath of the Lord, so that He stayed out of the matter originally, and may become the culprit who will be pursued later.After all, he lacked many party members in the country, and he had aroused the envy of the crowd for many years in Yedi, and his heart was sinister, so he had to guard against it.

However, Ma Qiu naturally did not have the sincerity to continue negotiating this. It must be known that the Fenwu army along the way was covered with the blood debt of the Lord Shihu's blood relatives. If the Lord knew that he used this to negotiate with the southerners, he would also be furious .

Ma Qiu was not lacking in cunning, and casually raised a few random conditions to perfunctory Xie Ai. Even if the matter was later revealed to the master and pursued, he could still excuse that he had no intention of negotiating at all.

As for privately, he began to gather all kinds of people under his command nervously, and did not intend to continue to delay the matter. Even if he could not take advantage of the Jin army along the way, he must not make the situation worse.

Since Xie only said that Shen Yun's life cannot be lost, and it seems that he has no intention of sending troops to rescue him, then he will no longer wait for any opportunity to appear in Fangtou, and first capture the besieged Jin army along the way. Make sure that Shen Yun is safe, and it doesn't count as touching Xie's bottom line.After holding people in his hands, he has more initiative no matter whether he talks about it or not.

But Ma Qiu did not expect that shortly after this letter was sent, the situation changed drastically.Not long after he fell asleep after working on military affairs all night, and before dawn, Ma Qiu was suddenly awakened by a noise outside the camp.

He frowned, got up and walked out, and saw Shi Mubei, the son of Xiangcheng Duke Shi Shegui, and his entourage being intercepted by his own soldiers.When he saw Ma Qiu appear, Shi Mubei immediately pointed at him, filled with righteous indignation, jumped up and cursed: "Ma thief, you have failed the Lord! The thief who went all the way has been besieged as a lamb in the fence, but you are so slow." Don't kill, it turns out to be a bargaining chip, to collude with the southerners!"
