"The last general saw the enemy's flag, it seems to be the flag of General Anton!" the scout replied.
"General Anton? Sima Rui?!"
After hearing the report from the scouts, saying that the ten thousand or so soldiers on the opposite side were not a ragtag group of powerful men, but subordinates of King Langya of the Jin Dynasty and General Anton Sima Rui, many soldiers from Xuzhou followed Liu Yu. The powerful ones always show surprise and fear.
"General, the 10,000 people on the other side are coming from evil deeds. Why don't we retreat for the time being and send someone to communicate with them? Don't let us suffer any more losses due to misunderstandings."
A powerful man from Pengcheng County couldn't help but said to Liu Yu.
"Yes, General. There are ten thousand people on the opposite side. We only have more than three thousand people. It's better not to be impulsive."
Immediately, several other powerful men from Xuzhou tried to persuade Liu Yu.
When Liu Yu came this time, of the more than 3,000 troops he led, there were only 1,000 Qingzhou soldiers, and the rest were all troops led by these Xuzhou powerful men.
"Don't panic, everyone. Sima Rui, who was attached to the dead Sima Yue, was just General Anton, and his jurisdiction was Jiangdong. Now he randomly sends troops to Xuzhou this time. This is already trespassing and unreasonable. We don't need to be afraid of them. .”
Liu Yu said, but this sentence has little effect. At this time, the so-called etiquette has been almost completely corrupted. Everyone knows that swords and guns are much more useful than seals.
He looked at the group of Xuzhou heroes next to him and said calmly.
"Besides, there are only ten thousand people. Even if they fight, there is nothing to be afraid of!"
These powerful men in Xuzhou became much calmer when they saw Liu Yu's confident look.
Liu Yu said to Cao Yi, the general next to him.
"First send someone to ask, why did Sima Rui send them to Xuzhou?"
Cao Yi immediately took the order and arranged for capable men to go.
Since it was Sima Rui, the general of Anton, he could be regarded as an ally on the surface. Liu Yu had better show courtesy first and then fight. After all, everyone still worships the banner of the Jin Dynasty.
When the sent subordinates came back, Liu Yu immediately asked.
"Who is leading the troops on the other side? Why are they here?"
"Reporting to the general, the person leading the army is Wang Dun, the governor of Yangzhou!"
Liu Yu was a little surprised when he heard that this was a powerful official of the Eastern Jin Dynasty who would be famous in the future.
According to the news Liu Yu received not long ago, Wang Dun has just been newly appointed by Langya King Sima Rui. He is already the governor of Yangzhou, general of the left, false festival, and governor of various military expeditions, and he can be regarded as the number one leader in Jiangdong.
"Wang Dun?" Liu Yu said, then continued to ask, "What is he doing in Xuzhou?"
Liu Yu knew that Qian Pu, a native of Jiangdong, had occupied Guangling and rebelled. Wang Dun, who had just put down Qian Pu, should still be in the Guangling area, but this time he led his army north to cross the Huaihe River. It was obvious that the comer was evil.
"Wang Dun asked the last general to report back to the general. King Langya took over and appointed Cai Bao as the prefect of Linhuai. He escorted Cai Bao to take office."
After Liu Yu heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
"Prefect of Linhuai? Who is the lord of Xuzhou now? When did he become Sima Rui?!"
At this time, Liu Xun, Zhao Kun, Wu Xin, Cao Yi and other generals beside him all laughed together, feeling that Langya King Sima Rui was really shameless.
"Haha, this Langya King really has a beautiful idea. When the barbarian Zhao Gu was wreaking havoc in Xuzhou, he had clearly pacified Qian Guang in Guangling County, but he did not send a single soldier to rescue Xuzhou. Now the barbarian Zhao Gu is under great pressure. The general drove him away, but he sent someone to serve as the county guard. This is so shameless!" Wu Xin said immediately.
As soon as these words came out, all the powerful men in Xuzhou felt the same way. When Xuzhou was besieged by the Zhao Gu bandits, Pei Dun, the governor of Xuzhou, also sent people south several times to ask for help. However, the command of King Langya on the south bank of the Huaihe River, Just don't send a single soldier.
These powerful people from Xuzhou will not forget this "kindness" so quickly.
"Go again and tell Wang Dun that now Xuzhou has been pacified by me. From the governor to the counties, all the officials must respect the crown prince. He, King Langya, is just the vassal king of Fangzhen in Jiangdong. How can he have any power? Interfering in the affairs of Xuzhou. Ordering Wang Dun to retreat across the Huai River immediately and letting him live in Guangling is already very tolerant." Liu Yu said immediately.
-·-·-·-·-
After a while, Wang Dun camped.
After hearing that Liu Yu sent a message asking him to lead his army to retreat to the south of the Huai River, General Wang Dun of the left couldn't help laughing loudly.
"Hahaha, Liu Yu is indeed arrogant!"
"Now that the emperor is hunting in the north and merging prefectures, King Langya is the leader of the world, and it is natural for him to appoint governors and officials of prefectures and counties. Liu Yu was just a traitor in the late Han Dynasty. Fortunately, the late emperor was kind and pardoned his sins, and he was promoted to a general. , but he didn’t want to repay the country’s kindness, and he appointed the king as the crown prince without permission, pretending to be the inheritor of the throne. I haven’t punished him yet, but he dared to insult me rudely first!”
As Wang Dun said this, he became very angry and immediately gave orders to capture the envoys sent by Liu Yu.
Several strong soldiers, as strong as wolves and tigers, immediately stepped forward and pushed the envoy sent by Liu Yu to the ground.
"Drag him down and chop off his hands and feet!"
"I want Liu Yuzhuzi to see how he can humiliate me, Wang Clan of Langya!"
When Liu Yu's envoy heard that he wanted to cut off his hands and feet, he immediately yelled and struggled excitedly, but several of Wang Dun's soldiers held him tightly, preventing him from moving.
Seeing that Liu Yu's envoy was about to be dragged down, a person next to Wang Dun spoke to stop him.
"Wait!"
This man was in his thirties or forties. Judging from his clothes, he should be one of Wang Dun's generals and assistants.
When Wang Dun heard this, he looked at this person with some displeasure.
"Shen Canjun, what do you mean by this? Do you want to violate the order of the military governor?"
"Your Majesty, calm down and Shen Chong will naturally not dare to disobey military orders."
Shen Chong was not afraid of Wang Dun's dissatisfaction at all and said calmly.
"It's just that I heard that Liu Yu is also a powerful figure in the Central Plains. Now he has traveled across several states and defeated the Hulu many times. If the prince humiliates his envoy like this, he will be unstoppable from now on."
Wang Dun, who was already angry, had to hesitate after hearing this.
If someone else had tried to persuade Wang Dun, Wang Dun might have gotten angry and dealt with them together.
But this Shen Chong can't do it.
Because Shen Chong was not only a member of the left general Wang Dun, but he himself was from the Wuxing Shen family, a wealthy family in Jiangzuo. The Shen family was so powerful that even Wang Dun, who was "a fierce dragon crossing the river", had to be cited. For Austrian aid.
However, it is really not Wang Dun's style to change his mind easily in front of so many people.
When Shen Chong saw that Wang Dun was already moved, he continued.
"Your Majesty, Hua Yi, the governor of Jiangzhou, refuses to obey King Langya and expels the county magistrates sent by King Langya. This is the biggest problem right now."
"Although the barbarians retreated in Xuzhou this time, barbarians and bandits will inevitably attack in the future. Compared with Jiangzhou, the importance of Xuzhou today is very different. Even if Xuzhou is occupied, it will be difficult to defend it for a long time in the future. , There is really no need to form such a grudge against Liu Yu."
In front of Wang Dun's staff, Shen Chong's words immediately made everyone agree.
Don't look at the fact that Liu Yu on the opposite side only has two or three thousand troops, but in Bucheng, Liu Yu was able to defeat tens of thousands of elite Hulu with only a few thousand cavalry.
Therefore, Wang Dun's generals and staff were not willing to fight Liu Yu, the "Qingzhou thief". However, most of them did not have the capital to easily disobey the domineering Wang Dun.
"Well, what Shiju said makes some sense."
After hearing this, Wang Dun nodded calmly and continued.
"However, Liu Yu is so rude and treats me like a lowly general, but he can't swallow it."
What Wang Dun said was true. He was the son-in-law of the late Jin Dynasty emperor and a noble son of the Wang family in Langya. How could he tolerate Liu Yu's ill will.
"Shen Chong is bold and hopes that the prince will not care about important matters."
After cupping his hands in salute, Shen Chongcai said.
"Moreover, during the Ningping disaster in Ku County, Liu Yu confiscated Wang Taiwei's bones and sent people to bury Langya. The prince should treat it as a favor to Liu Yu."
Hearing this, Wang Dun's face turned red.
Because after the Ningping City disaster, General Liu Yu sent people to collect the bones of Taiwei Wang Yan and others, and buried them in the soil. Later, he also issued an order praising the integrity of Taiwei Wang and others for scolding thieves and dying. Call on all scholars in the world to follow suit.
However, at the same time, another version was more widely circulated, that is, Wang Yan and others defected to the Hu before the battle, and even persuaded the Hu thief Shi Le to join.
Therefore, when Wang Dun heard Shen Chong's words, he immediately thought of this matter.
"That's all, that's all. I don't care about Liu Yu's children anymore."
Wang Dun waved his hand in a generous manner.
Seeing this, Shen Chong turned around and walked out of the tent, and said to the guards who were pressing Liu Yu's messenger.
"The prince has an order to treat the messenger kindly and don't let go quickly!"
The envoy sent by Liu Yu immediately struggled hard and got rid of the grasp of several people.
As soon as Shen Chong came back, Wang Dun asked again.
"However, Liu Yu ordered me to lead my army to retreat across the Huai River. How do you think Shiju should respond?"
"The seat of Linhuai County is originally located in Xuyi on the south bank of the Huai River, not in Xu County." Shen Chong said directly.
After hearing this, Wang Dun stroked his beard, thought for a moment, and then looked at Cai Bao, the prefect of Linhuai County next to him.
"Brother Shixuan, you are the governor of Linhuai County. Please tell me what your plan is."
When Cai Bao heard Wang Dun ask him this question, although he smiled on his face, he immediately scolded Wang Dun's mother in his heart.
He originally accepted the appointment from Langya King Sima Rui from Jiangdong and went to Xuyi City, Linhuai County, Xuzhou to be the prefect of Linhuai.
Cai Bao, the prefect of Linhai County, never expected that when he arrived at Guangling, the left general Wang Dun insisted on letting him move north to Xu County, saying that it was to facilitate the recruitment of scholars from the north and the south. Only then did he meet the notorious Qingzhou thief Liu pre.
"Bao only obeys the prince in everything!" Cai Bao, the prefect of Linhuai, didn't panic at all and dealt with it with just one sentence.
Wang Dun felt helpless when he heard what Cai Bao said.
Nowadays, the world is in chaos, either from the common people who come from humble backgrounds, or from high-ranking empresses like Cai Bao, who are weak in talent. It seems that the important task of helping the world depends on him, Wang Dun, who is of noble birth and virtue. A noble man with both talent and talent has come to shoulder the responsibility.
"However, now that our army has crossed the Huai River, it would be a shame to withdraw like this." Wang Dun still felt a little embarrassed.
"It's better than this. I'll go to Liu Yu's army and make peace with the prince." Shen Chong said immediately.
"How to make peace?" Wang Dun asked a little puzzled. This Shen Chong was always full of wit and kept him guessing.
"I'm going to make an agreement with Liu Yu for the king. The Huai River will be the boundary. Cai Taishou will live in Xuyi and govern Linhuai. However, north of the Huai River, Liu Yu can appoint officials by himself. What does the prince think?"
Wang Dun still felt dissatisfied after hearing this.
Because, since the fall of Luoyang, Wang Dun, who was based in Guangling, received many messengers from northern scholars. These people wanted to go south to the east of the Yangtze River to avoid trouble, so Wang Dun wanted to occupy as much of the area north of the Yangtze River as possible to settle and win over these northern scholars. For his own use, he used the name of escorting Cai Bao to his post to connect the Huai River in North Vietnam.
But he didn't expect that he would meet Liu Yu just after crossing the Huai River.
Seeing that what was originally an advantageous situation was about to turn into a sword fight, this made Wang Dun, who had no intention of going north, a bit embarrassed.
"Well, now I have other big plans. Just follow what Shiju said and let the Qingzhou thieves take advantage." Wang Dun finally said with some regret.
After hearing this, Shen Chong had an idea in his mind.
Now Wang Dun holds a large number of troops in Jiangdong, and he has always wanted to make military exploits and seize territory. He had just put down Qian Chuan's rebellion in Guangling, which was just a way to avenge his past humiliation.
The enemy that Wang Dun and Langya King Sima Rui want to deal with most is Hua Yi, the governor of Jiangzhou, and almost all military deployments have begun. At this time, Wang Dun is unwilling to give up Huayi, the governor of Jiangzhou. Instead of eating the fat meat, he went to gnaw on Liu Yu, the tough one.
If that were the case, if Wang Dun had not attacked Jiangzhou, then Zhou Fang, Tao Kan and others might have taken this opportunity to show their prominence in the Jiangdong power group.
Therefore, Shen Chong is absolutely confident about making peace this time.
——·-·--·-·--·-
Liu Yu's military camp, when Shen Chong followed Liu Yu's envoy and returned to the Qingzhou military camp.
"Are you the Mr. Shen who gave Mr. Shen money?"
Liu Yu looked at Shen Chong in front of him with curiosity and asked curiously.
Shen Chong felt a little uncomfortable with Liu Yu's strange look, and replied awkwardly.
"Shen has such a poor reputation, I didn't expect that the general would have heard about it."
Shen really didn't expect that when he met Liu Yu, he would be known to Liu Yu not because of the name of the Wuxing Shen family, nor because he was Wang Dun's arm, but because of the private casting of the Wuxing Shen family. "Shen Lang Qian".
Hearing what Shen Chong said, Liu Yu smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Oh, Shen Canjun is so humble. It's not just a bad name, he is really famous."
When Liu Yu thought that Shen Lang's money, which was widely circulated in later generations, was said to be light and thin and float on water, he couldn't help but admire it.
The person in front of me, Shen Chong, can be said to be a master of counterfeit money.
