Chapter 168: Offensive and defensive reversal of court affairs

"Sir, do you need any help to go to Chenliu?"

Zhang Hong received the order from King Huainan and came to see Zhang Bin immediately.

"Now that my lord is under suspicion, you and I should naturally do our best and make our attitude clear to King Huainan."

The king of Huainan wanted to replace Zhang Hong.

It's just that Zhang Hong is a general, and if he wants to change generals before the battle, he needs the emperor's approval.

But obviously, the emperor of Luoyang would not let the king of Huainan change his general.

Therefore, the King of Huainan still had to use Zhang Hong and Zhang Guang.

But the difference between the use of trust and the use of distrust is huge.

If Sima Yun wanted to find fault with Zhang Hong, he only needed to let Zhang Hong go deep into the army alone and damage his strength.

But for Zhang Hong and Sima Yun, it was a mutually damaging deal.

Sima Yun wanted to win the battle, but Zhang Hong wanted to protect himself.

Therefore, the battle of Chenliu was also Zhang Hong's surrender to the King of Huainan.

Although I am a member of Marquis Guangyuan, I will do my best to fight against King Qi.

Sima Yun, King of Huainan, could not change his generals and had to accept this reality.

"I see."

Zhang Hong nodded lightly.

"Then in this battle, I will definitely keep Chen Liu."

"General, be careful all the way. King Huainan has a grudge against the lord and may have some tricks on his mind."

"I know."

Zhang Hong nodded lightly.

"But if Chen Liu is lost, it is not a good thing for King Huainan. In my opinion, even if King Huainan dares to make a small move, it cannot be a big move. I will pay attention to it."

Zhang Bin nodded lightly.

Zhang Hong is brave and resourceful, so he doesn't need to worry much about this kind of thing.

"General, be careful all the way."

Naturally, Zhang Bin would not go to Chenliu with Zhang Hong.

Although Chenliu County was attacked by King Qi, thinking about it, it can still be defended.

Defending a city in winter is difficult, but attacking a city is several times more difficult than defending it.

Think about it, during normal sieges, it would be difficult to restore a damaged city, but in winter it only needs sand and water to turn it into a temporary high wall.

Plus it's icy on the snow...

The losses from siege will be several times greater.

Even if the King of Qi wanted to train his troops, he could not use the siege method to train his troops.

The loss is too great.

...

On the same day, Zhang Hong led his troops to assist Chen Liu.

In the winter battle, although King Qi's troops were caught off guard at first and were overwhelmingly powerful, after Yongqiu was blocked, they were unable to move even an inch.

In addition, Zhang Hong led a large army to help, and the Qi King's troops quickly retreated to Xiangyi.

From Yingchuan to Chenliu, the soldiers led by Zhang Hong have now become tired troops.

Since he was a tired army, Zhang Hong did not attack rashly and conquered Xiangyi.

Instead, we rested for another day before sending out troops.

The city of Xiangyi was small, and it had not been captured for a long time, so not much fortifications had been done to defend the city. Zhang Hong led the elite Northern Army, and although some soldiers were injured, they still managed to capture Xiangyi without any danger.

After that, Zhang Hong had no intention of continuing to march.

In fact, there were Ningling and Yanxian in front of him. Both cities were now occupied by strong soldiers and the city walls were thick. It would not be easy to capture them.

Besides, by guarding Chenliu, he could still send a message to the King of Huainan.

On that day, the King of Huainan learned that Zhang Hong was guarding Chenliu.

"Zhang Hong is quite capable."

Sima Yun let out a breath of turbid air.

Chen Liujun was saved, so naturally his position as the head coach was also saved.

The king of Qi dared to march in winter. It seems that the defense cannot be slacked off.

Naturally, this Hongzhangguang still needs to be relied on!

"Zhang Hong is both resourceful and brave, but it's a pity that he can't be used by us."

Sima Lue also felt regretful.

When he was defeated before, he relied on Zhang Hong and Zhang Guang to turn the tide and retain his strength. Sima Lue also had a very deep impression of Zhang Hong and Zhang Guang.

"It's a pity that he belongs to Marquis Guangyuan."

Although Marquis Guangyuan lives in Luoyang, he has restrained his coach in Yuzhou.

Marquis Guangyuan...

It's not easy to defeat him.

...

But in Luoyang, Wang Sheng, who was talked about by the King of Huainan, was very relaxed.

After losing the position of Chancellor, Wang Sheng felt much more relaxed.

There are no messy ears of silk and bamboo, and there is no laborious shape of documents.

In order to convince the emperor in the palace that he was wholeheartedly preparing for farming, Lu Yu summoned many officials who knew about farming in the past few days.

The rest of the time was basically spent in the mansion playing with Princess Luzhu and Nannan of Guangping.

With the incident at the Chancellor's Desk, it was difficult for Wang Sheng to get along with them.

there is no time.

Now that I have time, of course I have to spend some time with each other.

certainly...

This does not mean that Wang Sheng really ignored the affairs of the court.

The existence of the photo studio allows Wang Sheng to know all the big and small things in Luoyang and the world without leaving home.

"Haha, it turns out that adversity is a true friend, and time can reveal a person's heart."

Wang Sheng looked at the letter delivered by Lu Ji today and shook his head slightly.

This is news about those rebel subjects.

Of course, he wasn't too angry.

Everyone has his own ambitions. Now that Wang Sheng seems to have lost power, those people will naturally turn to other places.

"But there are smart people too."

Bian Cui and his party, after all, had been educated and knew that Wang Sheng had not really lost power and did not look for another place.

But the remaining available people can be said to be less than half.

"It doesn't matter if it's less. If there's less peace, there's no need for me to plan a position."

It took Wang Sheng a lot of effort to plan positions for these subordinates before.

Now I can save myself the trouble.

"Your Majesty publicly punished my husband in the court. I see rumors everywhere."

Princess Guangping was rubbing Wang Sheng's shoulders, with a slightly worried look on her face.

"Don't worry, Xiang'er."

Wang Sheng smiled softly and said: "If your majesty really wanted to punish me, why would you go to farm with me? It's just a show. I won't be away from Luo for a long time."

Ladies are always the best informed.

Wang Sheng could occasionally get a lot of news from Princess Guangping.

After all, the person you sleep with sometimes reveals a lot of secrets.

"I don't understand things about you men, but even if your Majesty wants to punish you, I won't do it. If I can't stop it, I will share the trouble with my husband."

Wang Sheng smiled softly and his eyes softened.

"Don't worry, with your husband here, it won't be like that."

Wang Sheng embraced Princess Guangping in his arms.

He is no longer alone in this world.

He has people who need his protection.

............

On the other side, in the side hall of Taiji Hall, Emperor Sima Yu's mood became worse again.

Because there were a few more memorials on his desk.

It's also from Yuzhou.

The difference is that the previous memorials were to impeach the Marquis of Guangyuan, but now these memorials are to impeach the King of Huainan.

"Do these people really want to annoy me to death?"

Sima Yu gasped for breath, but after a moment, he still pushed the memorial aside.

"Keep these memorials for now, there is no need to send them to the Chancellor."

"promise."

The imperial officials knew that when the emperor was angry, it would be better for him not to speak.

Sima Yu stood up and looked at the memorial on the table, his eyes becoming dangerous.
