The value of the jade seal can be great or small.
Han Zhao, Jie Zhao, and Ran Wei all had this thing, but they never lived a hundred years.
But if Huan Wen blackmailed him away, Liang Guo would be disgraced.
"This object is the emperor's divine weapon, and it should be received by the emperor. Although Duke Huan is noble, his status is slightly inappropriate." Cui Hong stood up and excused himself.
"Why shouldn't Duke Huan accept it on behalf of His Majesty? Duke Huan has always treated the King of Liang differently. He believes that the most loyal person in the northern kingdom is the King of Liang. Although there is a slight act of arrogance, there is a reason for the matter. If the King of Liang insists on not handing over the jade seal, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the loyal and righteous people in the world!" Dai Shi frantically put a hat on Li Yue.
To associate a jade seal with loyalty is obviously sophistry.
But Kodong Mingshi is good at this one.
"Since I am the acting leader, is there an imperial edict?" Cui Hong reacted very quickly and hit Dai Shi within seven inches of his body with one sentence.
Why should I give you the jade seal if you talk in vain?
Even if he wants to give it, he should have an edict from the Sima family in Jiangdong and be polite, instead of holding a knife and blocking the gate of Liang Kingdom.
This is not begging, but extortion.
Li Yue secretly praised Cui Hong's wit.
Sure enough, Dai Shi had no words to refute for a moment. He originally looked down on this young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, but now he had to look at him seriously and bowed his hands, "May I ask your name?"
Cui Hong returned the courtesy, "Cui Hong from Qinghe River."
"It turns out to be the Cui family of Qinghe. It's disrespectful and disrespectful. If King Liang doesn't return the jade seal, please return it to Xuchang." Dai Shi said confidently.
Li Yue's face darkened. He had seen shameless people before, but he had never seen anyone so shameless. "Why should I return Xuchang? When did Xuchang belong to Duke Huan?"
What they want is not just Xuchang, but the entire Yuzhou, Yuzhou's hundreds of thousands of people, and millions of acres of fertile land.
The lion opened his mouth to such an extent that Li Yue could only admire their whims.
But then I thought about it, Huan Wen shouldn't be so stupid. It was true that he wanted the jade seal, but he probably looked down on Xuchang and Yuzhou.
Otherwise, Huan Wen would have taken action long ago when he flanked Zhang Yu.
This should be Dai Shi's idea.
"Xuchang is the ancestral home of the Jiangdong gentry and should be returned to Jiangdong."
Dai Shi is not only whimsical, but also messy.
Cui Hong said: "Since we are already members of the Jiangdong gentry, why do we still talk about our ancestry? Back then, under the rule of Jie Zhao and Ran Wei, no one came to ask for it?"
"That was then, now is now..."
"If you want Xuchang, you can get it with a sword! There is no other way!" Li Yue stared at Dai Shi, and there was no need to continue talking.
It was always Huan Wen who wanted something and the Jiangdong gentry wanted something, making Liang Guo feel like he owed them something.
Li Yue regretted that he respected the Jin family.
This group of people are just rubbing their noses in their faces.
Dai Shi also stared at Li Yue without giving in, "Liang Wang has the Murong family in the north. If he turns against the imperial court again and attacks from the north and the south, how can the Liang Kingdom reject it?"
"Bold!" The guards pressed their hands on the hilts of their knives.
Li Yue waved his hand to stop him and said with a sneer: "I don't need to worry about it, please come and see the guests off!"
The personal guards stepped forward to drive him away. Dai Shi snorted coldly, flicked his long sleeves, and turned to leave.
"If Jiang Dong were all such people, he would have nothing to fear." Cui Hong shook his head.
"Yao Xiang was defeated too quickly, which gave them the confidence. Huan Wen stationed troops in Heyin and threatened Yezhong. They should not be underestimated!"
Taking a step north of Heyin, you cross the Yellow River and enter Hanoi, which is right next to Yecheng.
Huan Wen's 30,000 troops were not a big threat, but if Murong Ke defeated Zhang Ping, he would form a pincer attack on Yecheng.
In addition, Huan Wen's recapture of Luoyang also had a great impact on the people of the Central Plains.
It is inevitable that no one will take refuge secretly.
It is quite strange that the North and the South are sending troops at the same time this time. It seems to have been agreed upon. It happens to be at the critical moment of reform. It is not difficult to guess that someone is secretly communicating with the two countries.
"Your Highness... are you going to have a battle with Huan Wen?" Cui Hong looked worried.
It was not a good time to break with the South at this time.
Huan Wen's 30,000 horses were all elite, and they had severely damaged the Fu family. This battle was very different from the Battle of Guanzhong. Last time, Huan Wen went on an expedition and had difficulty in supplying food and grass. But this time, Luoyang is at the gate of Wancheng, and Jiangling reinforcements Food and grass can be delivered in a steady stream.
Once the two sides started fighting, they would not be able to intervene in the annexation war.
"Let's take a look at the situation in the north first." Li Yue suppressed his anger.
When Huan Wen stationed troops in Heyin, he was actually waiting to see the outcome of the Bingzhou War.
Two days later, the scouts gradually sent back reports of the battle in the north.
Zhang Ping has the qualifications to be arrogant. An army of 50,000 people blocked the attack of 80,000 people by Murong Ke, Mu Yugen, and Murong Ping at Lutai.
The beatings came and went.
Zhang Hao, an enemy of ten thousand people, led two thousand Xia Hu Jingqi to defeat Murong Ping and killed more than three thousand people.
Yan Jun suffered a moderate loss.
However, Murong Ke was extremely resilient and did not retreat because of this small defeat and continued to besiege Lutai.
The situation in Bingzhou has been temporarily stabilized.
Zhang Ping also proudly sent over a thousand heads of the Yan army to show off his military exploits, trying to divert disaster to Yecheng, and also demanded 50,000 shi of grain.
Li Yue ignored him.
At the same time, troops were also increasing in the south.
Huan Chong led 20,000 troops into Luoyang, and Yuan Hong led 5,000 elite troops to station in Wancheng.
Huan Wen's troops in Luoyang increased to 50,000, which was much larger than the original Northern Expedition to Guanzhong.
As the Jin army grew stronger, its influence on the Central Plains also increased, and many people fled to Wancheng with their families and families.
According to reports from scouts, there are as many as three thousand families, and the number is still increasing.
Three thousand families means thirteen or four thousand people.
The slaves who were promised to farm also frequently rioted.
How many people are there in the entire Liang Kingdom?
"Once Huan Wen crosses the Yellow River, I'm afraid more people will take refuge." Zhang Shengye said with a cupped hand.
Crossing the Yellow River showed that Huan Wen had the intention to restore the Central Plains.
"It seems I have to go and meet Huan Wen for a while."
Although Li Yue was sure that Huan Wen would not cross the Yellow River, just like he refused to cross the Ba River, it was not a problem to keep dangling a knife in front of his house like this.
Li Yue could not turn a blind eye.
Although Zhang Ping blocked Murong Ke, Murong Ke would never have this ability. The situation would change at any time. When the time came, Huan Wen would be hiding behind him, and Li Yue would not be able to concentrate on dealing with Murong Ke.
"Your Highness wants to fight?" Cui Hong said.
"It's to persuade him to quit."
Huan Wen did not cross the Yellow River and stationed troops in Heyin northwest of Luoyang, which shows that he was actually guilty.
Li Yue raised 50,000 black cloud troops, with Yao Xiang's 5,000 troops as the vanguard, and then ordered Wei Shan to lead Chen Liu's 10,000 town troops into Hulao Pass. Cao Kan led 8,000 infantry to ride out of Xuchang to intimidate Wancheng.
Yao Yisheng led 3,000 Qiang cavalry out of Xin'an, while Yao Chang and Quan Yi led 8,000 Qiang cavalry out of Zhi County.
Yao Xiang was defeated, but his tribes were still scattered in Hanoi, Hongnong and other places, and they still had considerable strength.
Two fists are no match for four hands. Even if Huan Wen is a fierce tiger, he cannot withstand the bites of a pack of wolves.
However, Huan Wen responded quickly and led 30,000 elites from Heyin east to Mengjin, assuming a war posture...
