Chapter 1195 Deploying Troops
"Chen Yan, welcome the angel!"
At the northern end of Taihangxing, at the gate of the Han army camp outside Gaodu City, Wei Yan led his cronies, and was welcoming the team from Chang'an from the west.
Fei Yi, who had just gotten out of the car, saw this and hurried forward a few steps to support Wei Yan:
"General Zuo Hussars is an important minister of the country, and he leads the army abroad to make contributions to the country. This time, a certain person came here because he was ordered by the emperor to come to work in the army."
"General Zuo Hussars doesn't need to be so polite, please get up, please get up quickly."
Wei Yan heard the words and said loudly again:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, on behalf of the officers and men in the army, thank you!"
Fei Yi read again the livestock meat and various supplies brought over this time.
Then under the leadership of Wei Yan, he entered the camp.
Wei Yan has a bad personality, and few people can associate with him.
If it is hard to find someone who can talk to him, Fei Yi is probably one of the very few.
When the prime minister was there, Wei Yan and Yang Yi were incompatible. Every time they sat side by side, there would be arguments.
Wei Yan is a martial artist, and his mouth and kung fu are naturally inferior to Yang Yi. When he became angry, he drew his sword and wanted to kill Yang Yi, which made Yang Yi burst into tears.
At times like this, it is often Fei Yi who sits in between and advises the two of them.
So this time the palace sent Fei Yi over, it was thoughtful.
After a brief dinner in the army, Wei Yan invited Fei Yi into the account:
"The conditions in the army are poor, and the food and food are rough. Please don't blame the angels."
Fei Yi smiled and said:
"General Hussars said that, that is too far-fetched. Yi has also been with the army many times, how can he not know about the affairs of the army?"
The two sat down separately, and Fei Yi asked about military matters as usual.
Wei Yan answered one by one.
Fei Yi asked about the battle situation again:
"Now that General Hussars has been leading the army to hunt down bandits for a long time, Yi is bold enough to ask General Hussars what his plan is?"
"Huh?" Wei Yan looked at Fei Yi, frowning, "But Your Majesty has an order?"
"No, no," Fei Yi quickly waved his hand, "Before Yi left, His Majesty once said that all matters in the east of the river should be decided by General Hushi."
"But," Fei Yi said here, he paused for a while, "A few days ago, the country of Wu sent an envoy over, and it was Sun Quan's son-in-law, Zhu Shi Zhu Zifan."
"Oh?" Wei Yan showed a slightly interested look.
Although he was at odds with Feng Mingwen, Wei Yan had to admit that Feng Mingwen had unique skills in riding and fighting that were difficult for ordinary people to match.
So Wei Yan naturally heard about Zhu Ju who came to the Great Han to learn the method of riding and fighting:
"Zhu Ju, hasn't he already returned to Wu? He was sent here again this time?"
Fei Yi nodded: "Exactly, and he came here this time, and he brought the secret letter of Emperor Wu."
Wei Yan's expression became serious:
"But Wu Wei has changed?"
His Majesty sent himself to Hedong as the governor of Hedong. The original purpose was to cooperate with Wu Guo's attack on Wei.
Of course, after all, His Majesty seldom leads troops into battle, so he doesn't know much about the events before the battle.
So this time the troops were dispatched, and I gave full power to myself, how to fight, and what kind of fight, His Majesty did not make any requirements.
Although what he said was so, Wei Yan was a veteran in the army anyway, so how could he not know that this is not a good time to send troops.
So he dispatched troops and generals on the surface to make a big splash, not only to give Wu an explanation, but also to disgust the Zhongdu Protectorate.
To be precise, it is to disgust a certain Feng:
Even if you control Chinese and foreign militaries, so what? The old man only obeys His Majesty's orders, you, son of the Feng family, are not qualified to dictate to the Governor's Mansion in Hedong.
According to the agreed date, Wu Guo should have already gone north to attack Wei.
So Wei Yan judged that at this time the envoys sent by the State of Wu brought secret letters, most of which were related to the battle between Wu and Wei.
Fei Yi cupped his hands:
"Good advice, General Hussars! In the secret letter brought by Zhu Ju, he asked the Central Capital Guard to lead the troops out of Wuguan to attack the Wei thieves."
"According to the opinion of the Central Guard, this is most likely Lu Xun's plan. He wants to use the big man to attract the attention of the Jingzhou bandit army, so that he can take the opportunity to take Xiangyang."
Wei Yan jumped up suddenly:
"Feng Mingwen led the troops to Wuguan?"
"Exactly."
Wei Yan's face darkened all of a sudden, he didn't sit down again, but walked back and forth a few steps, and then said:
"Lu Xun took Xiangyang in the south, could it be that this son wants to take Wancheng in the north?"
"Uh, Yi, I don't know about this."
Fei Yi really didn't know. After all, the judgments and decisions made by the Protectorate of the Central Capital on military and state affairs were basically known to the palace before they were made public.
Even Shang Shu Ling Jiang Wan knew one thing but not the other.
"Hmph, if it's Lu Xun's plan, then the one who led the attack on Xiangyang is probably Lu Xun himself."
Although Wei Yan's EQ is low, he is much better at leading the army than Fei Yi.
He thought about it for a while, and guessed a lot, only to hear him sneer again:
"Feng Yong is in the north, Lu Xun is in the south, and the Wei thief is only half of the land of Jingzhou. It is difficult for them to be pinched by these two people."
Fei Yi mentioned this matter, but he didn't intend to provoke. He didn't expect that Wei Yan, when he heard Feng Mingwen's name, he was like water splashing on a pan, crackling endlessly.
He couldn't help feeling a headache.
"General Hussars, the Central Guard responded to Lu Xun's request to lead the army out of Wuguan, and also mobilized part of the Tongguan defenders."
"General Hussars has been leading the army to fight against thieves for a long time, and the soldiers are exhausted even if they want to come, so the Zhongdu Guards think twice, and want to let some soldiers go to Tongguan to rest..."
Before Fei Yi could finish his sentence, Wei Yan let out a "duh" and shouted:
"Fei Wenwei, even you want to deceive me? Why are the soldiers tired? It is obvious that someone saw that I have been attacking for a long time, and they took the opportunity to make trouble and want to cut my strength!"
Seeing Wei Yan like this, Fei Yi couldn't help taking a deep breath, and then softly persuaded:
"General Hussars, Tongguan is the barrier in Guanzhong. If Tongguan is not stable, Chang'an will be restless."
"Nowadays Tongguan is full of soldiers, and Hussar General is not sure to take down Gaodu. Instead of letting soldiers here for sumo wrestling, it is better to send some troops to Tongguan to garrison."
If it weren't for Fei Yi, who rarely had a few words with him, Wei Yan would have drawn his sword to chase people away at this time.
But seeing him waving his hand, he was a little furious:
"Boy Feng took the soldiers from Tongguan to make his own meritorious deeds, but asked me to make up the soldiers from Tongguan. How is this different from asking me to help him make meritorious deeds?"
In the past, the prime minister used Feng Mingwen instead of Wei Wenchang, it really made sense!
In order to check and balance Feng Mingwen, the palace did not hesitate to violate the prime minister's wishes, and it is not known whether it is good or bad.
Fei Yi felt a little dissatisfied, and couldn't help raising his voice: "General Wei, there is a personal grudge between you and the Central Guard."
"Are you going to abolish public affairs because of personal grievances, and even put the emperor's safety at risk?"
Wei Yan was taken aback for a moment.
I don't know if it was because of Fei Yi's words, or because of Fei Yi's scolding.
Fei Yi didn't wait for Wei Yan to react, and continued:
"In the past, when the palace decided to establish the Governor's Mansion of Hedong, the Central Guard also opposed it. When the Hussar General decided to use the Gaodu, the Central Guard almost used the power of the Central Guard."
"However, General Hussars has received His Majesty's support, and after sending out troops has become a fact, the Central Capital Protectorate has not been in a difficult situation in terms of military supplies."
"Even the engineering battalion was allowed to be used by the hussar general at will. Therefore, the central government protects the public affairs first and the state affairs as the most important thing."
"Nowadays, when you look at Hussar Generals, who block state affairs with personal grievances, if you compare the two, I'm afraid that the world will say that Hussars Generals are not as good as Zhongdu!"
"General Hussars seemed to be fighting for his breath, but he was disappointed. A wise man would not do it."
After hearing Fei Yi's words, Wei Yan opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything, and in the end he could only wave his hands resentfully.
If it were someone else, Wei Yancai wouldn't care what others said.
Anyway, there is no friendship between him and his colleagues.
But only Feng Mingwen can't!
He would never allow others to compare himself with Feng Mingwen like this.
Thinking of this, Wei Yan could only grit his teeth reluctantly and said:
"In that case, let Jiang Boyue lead the troops."
"General Hussar's atmosphere..."
"hehe…"
Wei Yan gritted his teeth with a smile.
Although Fei Yi felt that what Fei Yi said was reasonable, he still couldn't swallow it.
This Zhongduhufu is definitely intentional!
It must be for revenge for sending troops in the first place.
But Wei Yan had nothing to do.
After all, Fei Yi came here on behalf of the emperor, and what he said naturally got the consent of the palace.
I have the support of the palace, and Feng Mingwen has no way to stop it.
But in the same way, the decision of Zhongdu Protectorate this time has been agreed by the palace, and there is no way to change it.
After Fei Yi left, Wei Yan gritted his teeth a few times, still unable to calm down.
The eldest son Wei Chang came in, just bumped into the anger, and was scolded by him.
"Your Majesty, what troubles have you encountered?"
Not long after Wei Chang left in disgrace, another person entered without fear of death.
When Wei Yan looked at the person, he suppressed his temper in a rare way:
"Mr. Guo is here? Sit down."
The person who came was none other than Guo Xun, who was personally recommended by Wei Yan to join the army.
Although Wei Yan is a great Han left hussar general, but there are few people around him who can help with advice, and it is a bit embarrassing to say it.
Look at the right hussar Feng, there are several staff members alone!
It's really worth throwing away when you compare goods, and you die when you compare people.
In the past, when the prime minister was here, everything was arranged by the prime minister, and he didn't need any staff to join the army.
I never thought that the prime minister was gone, especially when I was finally able to lead the army alone, I had to worry about everything myself.
If there is no one around to help, it will really be a mess.
It's just that Wei Yan is also well aware of his reputation, and he is really notorious among his colleagues.
The most hateful thing is that when they heard that they were going to assist him in the Governor's Mansion in Hedong, few people were willing to agree.
A group of idiots!
Fortunately, fortunately, I met Guo Xun.
Guo Xun was originally from Liangzhou. I heard that in his early years, his family was still a powerful family in the local area.
Who would have expected that a few years ago someone Feng would carry out a purge within the Xinghan Society, and there would be a rebellion in Liangzhou, and my family would be implicated in it.
He was just a side branch, and he would not die, but after that incident, the Guo family was in decline after all, almost on a par with the head of the Cangtou Guizhou.
Guo Xun had no choice but to take some of his clansmen to join in-laws here in Hedong.
I never thought that after I came to Hedong, I found out that my in-laws were also extremely desperate.
It is said that when there was a riot in the fields of Hedong Tun, if someone in the family did not run fast, the whole family would have been almost hanged to death.
This is also the reason why Guo Xun came to join Wei Yan.
According to him, he would rather die than contribute to Feng Yong.
Looking at the whole big man, the only one who can stand up to Feng Yong is General Zuo Hussar.
At first, in order to deceive others, he didn't dare to say that he was from Liangzhou, but claimed to be from Hedong.
Of course, Guo Xun confessed all these things to Wei Yan.
At that time, Wei Yan, who was suffering from no one around him to help with affairs, was overjoyed to get Guo Xun.
As for the grievances between Guo Xun and Feng Mingwen, to Wei Yan, it was simply insignificant.
The world has never seen Feng Mingwen, yet it regards him as an enemy.
Guo Xun is not only quite talented, but also familiar with the land of Hedong.
(Note: Guo Xun had a saying in the original history that "merits and virtues are famous in Xizhou")
At the same time, he also recommended several children from various families who were unwilling to take refuge in Feng Mingwen—it may also be that some aristocratic families wanted to bet on both sides.
So Guo Xun's arrival, for Wei Yan, is a timely help.
Therefore, Wei Yan not only personally recommended Guo Xun to join the army, but even privately called him Mr. Guo Xun.
"I heard from the major general that Junhou is in trouble?"
Wei Yan called Guo Xun Mr. Guo, not joining the army.
And Guo Xun called Wei Yan a prince, not a general of hussars.
It can be seen that the two are close.
Hearing Guo Xun's question, Wei Yan didn't answer, but just sighed.
Seeing Wei Yan's expression, Guo Xun was a little puzzled:
"The army has been very peaceful recently, only the emperor sent people to work in the army, which is a big deal. But this is a good thing, why is the prince not happy and angry?"
"Sir, I don't know something!" Wei Yan sighed again, and finally explained, "In addition to Lao Jun, the angel also brought me a piece of news."
"Oh?" Guo Xun sat up straight subconsciously, "But I don't know what it is that can make you so worried."
"Feng Mingwen was invited by Wu Guo Lu Xun to send troops out of Wuguan to attack Wei thieves, and now he has mobilized part of Tongguan troops."
"Therefore, the Protectorate of the Central Capital suggested to His Majesty that part of the army should be transferred to Tongguan for defense."
Guo Xun heard the words, his body trembled invisibly, and a look of horror appeared on his face:
"Feng Mingwen..."
Isn’t Feng Mingwen staying in Chang’an?
Why would he go to Wuguan at this time?
After calling someone's name, Guo Xun's heart turned like an electric shock, and he urged urgently:
"Jun Hou must never agree! Feng Mingwen's move is to let Jun Hou help him to make meritorious deeds!"
Hearing Guo Xun's words, Wei Yan couldn't help but slapped his thigh:
"Mr. is indeed my bosom friend! When I first heard about this, I also had the same thought."
As he spoke, he became a little annoyed again:
"I hate the Feng family's son. How dare I refuse to follow His Majesty's words?"
Guo Xun saw Wei Yan like this, his heart beat suddenly, and he tried to challenge him with words:
"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, you will be outside, and you will not accept anything..."
Hearing this, Wei Yan had a look of emotion on his face, but finally shook his head:
"Inappropriate. If I raise my army to attack Gaodu before Fei Wenwei arrives, I can still say that."
"But Fei Wenwei brought His Majesty's will, if I do this again, it is suspected of being deliberate."
"And Tongguan is related to Chang'an safety, how can it be child's play?"
Guo Xun's eyes flashed with disappointment, he sighed:
"It's just that, if the Junhou is appointed as the governor of Hedong, the momentum of forcing Feng Mingwen to make concessions may be lost!"
"Kuang Feng Mingwen is far-sighted, and Lu Xun is wise. The two attack Jingzhou, who in the world can do it?"
"If Feng Mingwen makes meritorious service at that time, not only will he be able to turn back the prince, but some people may even laugh at the prince for being used by Feng Mingwen."
Wei Yan groaned.
Think about it, if what Guo Xun said really came true, wouldn't it be worse than killing yourself?
He thought about it left and right, but couldn't think of any good idea, so he subconsciously asked Guo Xun:
"Then according to Mr., what should I do?"
Guo Xun smiled slightly...
