Chapter 182 Chapter Nine: Beacons Rise Everywhere

The sixth part of Everlasting and Everlasting Chapter 9 In Jiashenqiu, the seventh year of Yonglong's prosperity, Emperor Yong blamed Southern Chu for not paying tribute for a long time. The Lord of Zhaonan Chu had an audience with him. Long Wen, the leader of Southern Chu, was terrified and inexplicable.Emperor Yong was angry when he heard about it, and vowed to march south, and the three armies marched together, and once again raised their swords. ——"Zi Zhi Tong Jian". ;Yongji III In the eleventh year of Tongtai, Yong's army went south, and Yun Wei's trip. ——"The History of Chu in the Southern Dynasties. "The Story of Jiang Suiyun"

In the seventh year of Yonglong's prosperity, and in the eleventh year of Tongtai in Southern Chu, on the second day of October, on the ground of the Central Military Academy in Xia Daying, Jiangjiang in Southern Chu, the sergeants were practicing riding and shooting, and there were thunderous noises from time to time. "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhss." , flying horse galloping, the arrow hit the arrow, this kind of archery is indeed worthy of applause from the soldiers, not to mention that the knight is the eldest son of the general they respect and love.

The knight didn't stop until he finished shooting a bag of arrows. Twenty-four arrows covered the bull's-eye without leaving any gaps. He took off his helmet, showing a still childish face, and wiped the sweat from his head , rode the horse to the edge of the school grounds, jumped off the horse, rubbed the horse for a while, and then smiled to the sergeants who surrounded him: "Okay, it's much more comfortable to shoot a round of arrows. Has the general not promoted yet?" Several sergeants laughed and said, "Major General, your archery skills are getting better and better. The General only came back in the early hours of the morning, so you may not be able to raise your account today."

The young man frowned when he heard the words, and said, "Recently, there have been frequent movements over there. I don't know how the general will go to Jianye this time?" A sergeant heard the words and said: "Young General, why don't you go and ask Yang Canjun in private, the General won't tell you, or Yang Canjun will reveal something." The boy reprimanded: "Nonsense, if Yang Canjun is so easy to cheat, how can the general trust him so much?" Another sergeant suddenly said: "By the way, Mr. Wei just came, and now he has gone to see the general."

The young man frowned, Mr. Wei, why did he come here? This man always went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Thinking of this, he didn't care about the sweat and dust all over his body. He hurriedly explained to a few soldiers, and then went to his father's camp run.Not long after, he ran to his father's tent. The soldiers outside saw him and were about to call out, but he stopped him by shaking his head. He pulled one of them and asked in a low voice, "Are the general and Mr. Wei talking inside?" The soldier nodded and said: "Yeah, it's been a long time since I came here, and so is the general, why should you be so polite to this man?"

The young man glared at him and said: "What do you know, if it weren't for this person to mediate, the general and the old fox would have fallen out long ago, and besides, he was well-informed in Dayong, without his help, I would like to wait until the Ministry of War sends the information Huh, I'm afraid that the Yong army has crossed the river, and the intelligence is still in the future." The soldier muttered a few words in a low voice, although this young man is a major general, he has always been with them, so he dared to speak his mind to this young man. He can speak out, so he just complained a few words. After all, in his opinion, Mr. Wei is a person who has committed crimes. Although he is a rough person, he is looked down upon no matter what.

The young man walked around the door for a long time, but he still didn't see his father coming out. Finally, he couldn't bear it any longer, and went to the door of the tent, listening carefully.The young man ignored them, but tried his best to catch the faint voices wafting from the tent. Inside the tent, the furnishings are very simple, except for a simple camp bed, a square table and two chairs, it is almost empty, except for a few volumes of books on the table, this tent is similar to the residence of ordinary low-level generals. There is little difference. A man in his early thirties stood in the tent with his hands behind his back, looking at a map hanging on the wall of the tent with a heavy expression.This man has a handsome appearance and a gentle temperament. He can be regarded as a handsome man, but his temples are slightly frosted, and his expression is full of vicissitudes. If it weren't for his uniform, people would not believe that he is the No. 1 member of the Southern Chu army. one person.The other person looks graceful and handsome. He looks like he is only in his thirties, and there is a hint of sarcasm in his expression. Seeing his demeanor, he will never think that he is already thirty-five years old, and the man in military uniform is obviously three years younger than him. Years old, but looks older than him.

Seeing that the man in military uniform was silent, the graceful man sneered and said, "What are you looking at, Yong Jun will definitely not let this opportunity pass by this time, except for your lord, no one in the world knows that Dayong is taking advantage of this opportunity Picking a quarrel, preparing to go south to graze horses, it has been seven years since the fall of the Northern Han Dynasty, Dayong has digested the territory and manpower of the Northern Han Dynasty, and Li Zhi is not young anymore, does he not want to see the world unified in his lifetime, lying on the side of the couch, How can others be allowed to sleep soundly, even if Nan Chu did not violate the slightest fault, Dayong will not give up his intention to go south. Some time ago, the major general came back from the north, did not make it very clear that Dayong even a young county king was looking forward to the battle Fighting, the meaning of the southern invasion is clearly revealed, don't you realize it? If I hadn't seen that you still had some courage, and dared to attack Jiameng Pass with the backs of the Southern Chu monarchs and ministers seven years ago, how could I do my best for you? The first seat and the first seat of the Yihuang Hall Ji, the old fox monk Weijun cooperated very tacitly. Although it was inconvenient to blatantly enter the court, but the power was gradually shifting to the court. Don open your eyes for you, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you, a great general, to secure your seat."

The man in military uniform sighed: "Brother Wei is very friendly, Can understands in his heart that without you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to live in court with those people. A few days ago, they proposed marriage, but I rejected it, and then the minister deliberately delayed it." If it wasn't for Brother Wei's help, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass this test." The graceful man heard the words and sighed: "Actually, this has nothing to do with me. You control more than 70% of the troops in Southern Chu. I don't know how. Getting married is also right. No one knows what they did in Dayong, even I can't see it. They are in a mess externally, but they are good at fighting internally. You say I will help you, but in fact, without your support, my Chentang has been suppressed by them for a long time, after all the economic power is controlled by them, we are also benefiting from each other. General Lu, if you are willing to rebel, Qingjun side, I will help you."

The man in military uniform smiled wryly: "Brother Wei, if we continue talking, I'm afraid I will have to see off guests." The graceful man laughed and said, "I know you won't agree. If you were as cruel as Jiang Zhe, you wouldn't be forced to leave Jianye by Shang Weijun." The man in military uniform smiled slightly, and said: "Brother Wei seems to have less hatred for his master in recent years, and he won't gnash his teeth when he is mentioned." The graceful man said coldly: "King Qing fell and the Northern Han Dynasty fell. Although Da Yong had many generals, Li Zhi won the hearts of the people, and Li Xian was brave and good at fighting. If it weren't for this man's strategizing, it would not be so easy. I know it would be impossible." Against him, there is only one way to get revenge on him. Didn’t he betray Chu and vote for Yong? His life should also keep him from being at peace. If not, why should I cooperate with you? Based on your relationship with him, I should be in trouble with you. However, there is no one in Nanchu who can replace you, so I can only That's it."

The man in military uniform didn't think he was disobedient, but just smiled lightly. The person in front of him was the only one who dared to reuse him. Since he had the same goal, then this person was credible. Even if his character was somewhat lacking, he would not mind. Perhaps the Yongrong man had vented for a while, and relaxed a lot, and said: "This time, Da Yong sent an envoy to reprimand him, saying that Nanchu hadn't paid tribute for three years. I've checked it out. It's ridiculous to say it, and Fu Yulun is really audacious. In the ninth year of Tongtai, he was ordered to pay tribute to Yongdu. On the way, he was hijacked by bandits. The bandits took away the tribute, but gave him a forged reply letter and half of the stolen goods. This person was afraid of adding crimes, so he concealed the matter. Nian is even more knowledgeable. He colluded with those bandits inside and outside, divided the tribute, and forged the national certificate. However, Dayong's three-year correspondence never mentioned this matter, but this year he launched an attack and asked the king to go to Yongdu to apologize. If this There's no conspiracy in it, I don't believe it." The man in military uniform said indifferently: "Fu Yulun is talented but not virtuous, weak and greedy for money, and relying on the power of the minister to act recklessly, but this kind of thing, if no one instigates and threatens him, he would not dare to do it. Even more, there is no way to turn back, presumably Dayong also put in great effort to set up this situation, planning for three years, just for today's Dongchuang incident, to ask the teacher to blame." The graceful man sighed and said: "Who says it's not, but Fu Yulun is under the protection of Shang Xiang, half of the tribute he intercepted was given to Shang Xiang, and 10% was given to Ji Shouzuo. Shouzuo and Yanshouzuo, how could I only know about this now, and I wouldn’t be unprepared. The ancients never deceived me when women misled the country. For the sake of these petty gains, they ignored the overall situation. I’m afraid they were still complacent. How about harming Dayong's interests? Don't even think about it, would Dayong turn a blind eye to this kind of thing? I only know how stupid it is to be blinded by hatred and desire today. If I had this insight back then, maybe I wouldn't be here today. It’s hard to go to a family, it’s hard to go to a country, and you’re all alone, you’re inseparable.” The man in military uniform frowned and said: "I went to Jianye to see the Prime Minister, the lord has not been in court for several days, I asked the Prime Minister to kill Fu Yulun and apologize to Dayong, but the Prime Minister refused to agree, he just demoted Fu Yulun from his official position Forget it, I have to protect my shortcomings at this time, alas." The graceful man had a sneering look on his face, he didn't speak, and he said after a long time: "It's too late to kill or not, this is a rare opportunity, Dayong will not miss it, Shang Xiang has already sent an envoy to send a letter of apology, but I don't think so. It's useless, maybe Dayong is vowing to send troops now." The man in military uniform was about to speak, when suddenly there was a commotion outside the tent, he frowned, and he heard many people coming in a hurry, and shouted loudly: "General, General, the envoy from Jiameng Pass please see me." Hearing this, the man in military uniform sighed, opened the tent door, and walked out. The soldiers outside all bowed and saluted: "General!" Said: "Lu Yun disrespected the military order, peeped at the camp tent privately, and dragged down the five boards." That young man was Lu Yun, who was so frightened that he fell to his knees when he heard the words, and said, "I am guilty." The general punished them together, not to mention embarrassing, but let others protect the general? Lu Can ignored them, and met Yang Xiu, who joined the army in a hurry, and a travel-stained messenger. The messenger stepped forward and bowed down: "This subordinate is ordered by General Yu to report the military situation. On September 23rd, the Hanzhong Festival The commander Qin Yong supervised the attack on Jiameng Pass, and the 800-mile emergency has already been submitted to the Ministry of War, but the Ministry of War has not responded to the letter so far, and General Yu ordered me to come and ask the general." Lu Can's expression remained unchanged, but a flash of light flashed in his eyes Li Mang. At this moment, a scout pegasus entered the camp, staggered towards Lu Can, and said, "General, General Rong has a letter. The forward of Changsun Ji's army has arrived in Nanyang, and the Xuzhou army has also gone south. Please make a decision as soon as possible, General." .” All the generals in the battalion had rushed over, and when they heard what the scouts said, they all stepped forward and said, "General, the court is still arguing endlessly about how to punish crimes and how to negotiate peace. Are you waiting for the will of the king?" Lu Can looked around, his eyes that looked tired and vicissitudes seemed to burst out with a domineering aura in an instant, and the generals and soldiers who came into contact with his eyes couldn't help but bow and salute, Lu Can said loudly: "Dayongtu Jiangnan The heart has been around for a long time. In the twenty-two years since Xiande, Li Zhi plundered Jianye, plundered all the officials of the former king, and seized gold and silk from the people. Blood flowed into rivers, and people died. Soldiers and civilians, there is no day when you can sleep peacefully, today Lu is determined to fight, and all the troops are willing to fight with me to the death to protect the people of the country!" When all the generals heard this, they all raised their arms and shouted: "Yong people are cruel, and they have hated each other for ten years, and they will never forget it. They are willing to fight to the death with the general!" Lu Can laughed loudly and said: "Beating the drums and raising the account like this, Yang Xiu, please send orders to all the armies on my behalf. From now on, the military information from all over the country will be sent to me first, and I will write a letter to the lord for the general, asking for orders to fight." , Lu Can waved the sleeves of his brocade robe, and walked towards the large tent of the Chinese army. All the generals were all happy, and hurriedly followed behind. The graceful man walked out of Lu Can's sleeping tent, showing a cold smile, and said in his heart, Lu Can, Lu Can, I don't know if you are smart or stupid. You are modest and retreat on weekdays, but you are arbitrary in wartime, and you are indiscriminately commanding Shang Weijun Ignore it, it's just that this battle is extraordinary, when the Yong army retreats, I'm afraid that even if you want monk Weijun to live in peace, it will be impossible, but I don't know how long your loyalty will last? When Lu Yun arrived at the big tent after receiving the military baton, the military discussion had already begun. He was also Lu Can's personal soldier and the eldest son of the Lu clan, so he could naturally listen in. He quietly slipped to a corner of the big tent and listened carefully.At this time, Yang Xiu, who joined the army, was making a generous speech: "General, this time the Yong army is attacking in three ways. Hanzhong Qin Yong attacked Jiameng Pass fiercely. Qin Yong is a close friend of Emperor Yong. The Yong army and Qin Cheng are now The main character of the emperor, who once had the merit of saving the family, is calm and prudent, and is loyal to the Dayong royal family. Four years ago, Emperor Yong appointed him as the Jiedu envoy of Hanzhong and set up Xingyuan in Nanzheng to regain Jiameng. Pass, attack Xishu, and then go down the river to take Xiling, Jingmen and other places. However, the pass is dangerous and difficult. The second way is Changsun Ji, who was the favorite general of Emperor Yong before he ascended the throne. The state army rushed to the vanguard and escaped from birth, but most of the most elite Qinzhou army in the Northern Han Dynasty was destroyed by him. Since this person has arrived in Nanyang, he must attack Xiangyang this time. General Rong Zide Even if we guard Xiangyang, the land is favorable and the people are all occupied, we will certainly be able to resist Changsun Ji. The third road Pei Yun, when Dayong's power was at its peak, this person once confronted the general in Huainan, if Xiangyang and Jiangling were not in my hands at that time I'm afraid this person has already had the idea of ​​crossing the river. In the fifth year of Tongtai, after the victory of the Yong army in Zezhou, he began to counterattack the Northern Han Dynasty. For seven years, Dayong had recharged his energy, but this person was fighting every day in Xuzhou, and Emperor Yong personally appointed him as the Jiedu Envoy of Huainan. Now that Dayong is going south in a big way, Pei Yun is very familiar with Huainan. If the general wants to destroy the Yong army's southern offensive, he must quickly defeat the Xuzhou army, and then rush to assist Xiangyang. When the time comes, the Yong army will retreat on both sides, and the enemy in Hanzhong will retreat without a fight." After finishing speaking, Yang Xiu and Lu Can exchanged With a wink, Yang Xiu sat down on the right side of Lu Can and waited for the generals to give their opinions. All the generals nodded after hearing Yang Xiuzhi's words. A veteran in his fifties got up and said, "General, Jiangxia camp and Jiujiang camp are now under the direct command of the general, and General Yu and General Rong are also under the command of the general. There is no doubt that we will follow the general's order. If Pei Yun goes to Huainan, we will not be afraid, but what if Pei Yun goes down to Huaidong, the defenders of Huaidong are led by Shangxiang's confidant Luo Louzhen, and they have always been with the general. No, this person is mediocre and ineffective, he is definitely not Pei Yun's opponent, if Pei Yun captures Huaidong, invades Huaiyang, and then captures Jianye, he will fear that Southern Chu will suffer the humiliation of the past again." This veteran was Lu Can's father's former general. Lu Can always respected him. When he got up, he motioned for him to sit down and talk slowly.This Luo Lou is really a general trusted by Shang Weijun. In the past when the Lu family controlled the military power, Shang Weijun was already uneasy. Later, Lu Can took advantage of the instability of Dayong and Dongchuan, regardless of Shang Weijun's obstruction, and brazenly seized Jiameng Pass Although Shang Weijun was very happy afterwards, he was even more jealous. After Zhenyuan Gong Lu Xin died of illness, Shang Weijun wanted to seize Jiangxia's military power. After he failed, he took advantage of the Yong army's shrinking defense line and settled his cronies in Huaidong Among them, Luo Louzhen is the most trusted general among Shang Weijun. Now he is Shang Weijun's nephew and son-in-law, General Zhendong.In fact, Luo Louzhen is a good bragging and flattering man. When it comes to marching and fighting, he is not as good as an ordinary general in Jiangxia Camp. If Pei Yun attacks Huaidong, it is really a troublesome thing. Lu Yun thought for a moment, and said: "At this moment, it is a foregone conclusion that Yong's army will go south, and Shang Xiang will not make things difficult for me at this time anyway. I will write a letter to General Luo and tell him some things. If he can follow suit, Huaidong can still be safe, but if he doesn't follow his good words, I have no choice but to ask for an order to go to Huaidong to take over his military power." The generals looked at each other in blank dismay. Although this was the only way to deal with Xuzhou's army entering Huaidong, could Shang Weijun, who had a little military power in his hand, allow this to happen?
