Chapter Twenty-Six: Di Fan's plan to relieve the siege of Fuzhou
Weng Bo said: The so-called treatment of people and things, when the face is long, the body, so the etiquette can not be abolished; In addition, if you have a request, you must be honest first, be anxious about what people are anxious about, need what people need, and ask for what you want, and there will be a response; Frank and unrestrained, although people think it is evil, the heart and will are also immovable. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info such as the Zongzheng treats Di Dashan perfectly, and Di Fan treats Manichaeism.
Omber also said: As for the name of the false position, the crown is false, and the practice is true, not to exceed its tricks, to replace it, but to have the avenue in the heart, to enjoy the joy of everyone, and to enjoy with others. Although the middle way is trapped, his heart is stronger and his ambition is very strong. As for the future, people think that they are good, and it cannot be said that they are not responsible for their duties.
Let's say that Di Fan, Gu Zhuole, Shu Shuanghe, Ding Jie and the Zhao brothers just arrived at the foot of the Goddess Peak, there were guards blocking the way, led by two people, named Shui Buyu and Dou Sanzhang, who were the subordinates of the Xuanwu envoy Zhong Dayou. Dou Sanzhang said: "There are regulations in the sect that people who are not in our sect, people below the history of Wei Changshi, and people who have not been allowed to enter the main platform without the permission of the Emperor Heart Venerable. Obviously, Gu Zhuole, Zhao Guangyi and Ding Jie were not allowed to enter.
Shu Shuanghe was furious and said: "What a bold son, Di Shaoxia and Miss Gu were invited by Uncle Zongzheng Ding Jie, the two brothers of the Zhao family are both from this sect and the brothers of Di Shaoxia, why can't they enter?" ”
Shui Buyu smiled slightly, walked forward, and said unhurriedly: "What if...... I mean, if these three are spies sent by the imperial court, I wonder if Shu Xinzi can afford this responsibility? ”
Shu Shuanghe said: "If there is a problem, I will bear it alone!" ”
Shui Bu said silently, "Can you afford it?" The life and death of the Divine Cult are all tied to us, and my third brother said that he must not enter without permission, but he cannot be allowed to enter. ”
Di Fan said: "The two heroes are right, let's go back to the top of the treasure first, the scenery over there is good." ”
Shui Bu was speechless and said, "It's okay for the three of you to enter the main station, you must blindfold your eyes." After hearing this, Di Fan led Gu Zhuole out, followed by Zhao Guangyi and Ding Jie.
Zhao Kuangyin said: "Big brother, please stay, you wait here first, I will go and ask the Venerable One, and come back immediately." After speaking, Zhao Kuangyin quickly walked inside, and Di Fan and the others had to wait.
After half an hour, Zong Zheng Baiquan and Zhao Kuangyin came, as well as the four Wei Changshi of the four soil departments, namely Fan Dezin, Peng Chengtong, Lang Weitie and Lu Shenggai. He was followed by a large group of people, all holding various musical instruments in their hands. I saw that Zongzheng waved his hand, and the festive music sounded, and the aftersound went straight to the peak of the goddess peak, and echoed between the main platform and the treasure top platform.
Shu Shuanghe was very happy, and whispered to Di Fan: "This is the day of the celebration of our Divine Sect, or the song of the four Dharma Protectors, or at least the triumphant return of the Deputy Dharma Protectors. I'll just say, Uncle Zongzheng values Di Shaoxia very much. ”
Di Fan listened to Shu Shuanghe's words and knew that the trap waiting for him was coming. But Gu Zhuole, Ding Jie and Zhao Guangyi were very happy, hugged Di Fan, and walked forward. At this time, Zong Zheng Baiquan and Zhao Kuangyin also came out. Di Fan had no choice, the guest was as he pleased, and he could only enter the Goddess Peak according to everyone's wishes.
After several detours, everyone came to the hidden place between the Goddess Peak and the tip of the horn, which was a cave house, which was the real main platform. There was already a crowd of people waiting here. On the left stood the Xuanwu envoy Zhong Dayou, in his fifties, quite fat, dressed a little shabby, with a smile on his face, and he also led the four guards of the Ministry of Water, namely Zhang Hefang, Yun Tianshui, Zhang Dajiang and Jiang Buyi; On the right side stood the White Tiger Messenger Qiu Chaozhen, eight out of forty, with a thin figure, his eyes were like a pair of lanterns, revealing a buck tooth, although he was neatly dressed, he was hung with various bone pendants on his body, and he also led the four guards of the wooden department, namely Su Zishe, Pan Zhongjian, Ge Congyou and Xi Duozhu; Standing in the middle is the veiled Vermilion Bird Messenger Wei Jiunu, who is the purple-clothed masked woman I met in the west of the old city when Di Fan and He Shi and I went to worship He Guisheng that day, but at this time Di Fan didn't know, only Jia Zhaoxin followed behind her; Standing at the forefront is the Wei Changshi of Jinxi Siwei, You Zhong, Jin Fengshou, Xu Youshen and Zhu Qinguang. Except for a few Guardians who needed to stay in the city, all the leaders of the Manichaean Sect were basically ready. It turned out that after Di Fan left Shuangcheng, You Zhong, Jin Fengshou, Xu Youshen and Zhu Qinguang came to the main station from the trail, which is a later story.
When everyone saw that Zongzheng Baiquan was leading Di Fan to come, he had already ordered someone to blow the horn, and then a grand tune sounded, which was the adapted "Qin King Breaking Array Music", which was several times more shocking than the triumphal song that greeted Di Fan before, and it seemed that the entire Funiu Mountain could be heard. Shu Shuanghe whispered to Di Fan: "This is a song that only existed when our sect leader celebrated with everyone. ”
On such an occasion, Di Fan could not hear it, and there was only strong music in his ears. However, Di Fan understood more in his heart, where was there such a grand welcome sent in vain, not to mention that he had not seen the fifth brother, the sixth son and the Yu sisters, and the troublesome things must be behind.
After the music, everyone entered the cave together. Just entered the cave and it was very cool. Further inside, the line of sight gradually widens. Along the way, the lights are bright, the strange rocks are numerous, and there are countless pavilions and pavilions. The center of the cave is the Juyi Hall, which can accommodate thousands of people, the back side is the meeting hall of the leaders, and the two sides are the wings, which are cliffs and observation decks, where you can look at the Goddess Peak and the horn tip respectively. It's really something out of the ordinary.
Entering the Juyi Hall, because there was no sect leader, Zongzheng Baiquan was the Emperor's Heart Venerable, sitting on the left upper seat. Wei Jiunu sat on the left, Zhong Dayou sat on the second on the left, Qiu Chaozhen sat on the left third, and each Wei Changshi sat down in turn, or sat in the second or third row, only Shu Shuanghe sat on the right side of Wei Jiunu. Di Fan sat on the right, Gu Zhuole sat on the side, and Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Guangyi and Ding Jie sat behind Di Fan. Di Fan felt that the right side and down were empty, so he said that Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Guangyi and Ding Jie should sit on the second right, the third on the right and the fourth on the right in turn. With Zongzheng's full consent, the three of them passed. When everyone was seated, the table was opened, and all the good wine and food were served.
During the banquet, Zong Zheng Baiquan signaled, and Fan Dezin, who was sitting in the third row on the left, instructed the guards beside him to go out. After a while, the stone doors opened under the two sides of the council hall, and Yang Wulang and Xiao Liuzi came out on the left, and Yu Siliu and Yu Sifang on the right, naturally led by the guards. Xiao Liuzi had already seen Di Fan, so he said loudly: "Big brother, we are here!" ”
Di Fan got up immediately, but he felt that something was not quite right, and only said: "Fifth brother, sixth son, are you all doing?" ”
Yang Wulang said: "Big brother, look at the sixth son, it's less than a month, and they're all fat, and I can't walk anymore." ”
If there was no one beside Di Fan, he laughed and said, "What about the two daughters of the Yu Alliance Master?" ”
Yu Siliu and Yu Sifang said in unison: "Brother, we are here." ”
Di Fan looked at the Yu sisters and said, "It seems that you are all very good here!" "It turned out that when they were in Meicheng, Yang Wulang, Xiao Liuzi and the Yu sisters were arrested by Gongsun Mingliang and Shu Shuanghe. Because of the fight, the Huhou seal of the word "Zhong" on Xiao Liuzi's shoulder and the dog Hou seal of the word "Yuan" on Yang Wulang's shoulder were discovered by the two, and the two coincided to be the Central Plains. Gongsun Mingliang and Shu Shuanghe naturally knew that Yang Wulang and Xiao Liuzi were related to the Central Plains Money Village, and they didn't know what Di Fan's status was in the Central Plains Money Village, so they didn't dare to make their own decisions and reported it to the Vermilion Bird Envoy Wei Jiunu. After scrutiny, Wei Jiunu believed that Di Fan and Qian Wanguan were likely to be the third and tenth masters of the Central Plains Qianzhuang. After consulting with Zong Zheng Baiquan, Zhong Dayou, and Qiu Chaozhen, Wei Jiunu left the four of them in Manichaeism, but they were served by good students.
The four of them were happy, and they were about to walk to Di Fan's side, but they were stopped by the guards next to them. Di Fan also sat down first. At this moment, the Manichaean servant brought mutton, and Di Fan said, "Where are the big and small Yuzi?" Everyone was puzzled, and Di Fan looked at Yang Wulang, Xiao Liuzi and the Yu sisters again, and they also looked confused. Especially the Yu sisters, they stood stunned. Di Fan really understood in his heart, so he said, "Why are your Divine Sects all meat and no fish?" If there are no big fish, is there not even a small fish? ”
Zong Zheng Baiquan smiled and said, "Brother Di, don't worry, this fish will definitely have it." It's just for freshness, we only went to catch it after we arrived, and it hasn't been served yet. ”
Di Fan said: "That's good, that's good." ”
Gu Zhuole whispered in Di Fan's ear: "Brother, what's wrong with you?" ”
Di Fan only said that it was okay and just asked, and then clasped his fists and saluted, and said to everyone: "Listen to Brother Zhao, there are some small things in your sect, I don't know what it is, but it can be useful to us?" ”
After Zong Zhengbai retired all the guards and servants, he only said: "Everyone eat and drink first, and we will talk after eating." ”
Qiu Chaozhen glanced at Zhong Dayou, and then Zongzheng Baiquan's words, and said, "Yes, this is good wine and good food, it's a pity not to eat it." ”
Zhong Dayou naturally understood and said: "Brother Qiu is right, we haven't eaten such a big table of wine and food for a long time, and speaking of it, it is still stained with Di Shaoxia's light." ”
Wei Jiunu took over and said to Di Fan: "Don't listen to the eldest brother and the fourth nonsense, they are not strong enough to drink, they are drunk." Let's get down to business. ”
Qiu Chaozhen was a little dissatisfied, and said: "Second sister, don't tell lies in front of Di Shaoxia, what I and the fourth brother are talking about is the right thing." ”
Di Fan also secretly looked at the leaders present, except for Zong Zheng Baiquan, the three envoys, the four guards of Jinxi, the Zhao brothers and Ding Jie and others, all of them were devouring, coupled with the previous conversations with several generals in Shuangcheng, it was basically certain that Manichaeism was not somewhat short of food, at least in urgent need of money. Di Fan had the idea of saving Yang Wulang, Xiao Liuzi and the Yu sisters: to exchange money for people.
Wei Jiunu said: "Even if you are talking about the right thing, then there is a priority for the matter, right?" ”
Qiu Chaozhen said: "I think what the fourth brother said is the most important and urgent thing at the moment. Zhong Dayou nodded in agreement.
Wei Jiunu said: "Ask for clothes, you'd better think clearly!" Because Qiu Chaozhen always likes to take advantage of others everywhere, he has the nickname of asking for clothes.
Qiu Chaozhen knew that Di Fan was the third master of the Central Plains Money Village, so he naturally wouldn't stop there, and said: "Second sister, what I said is foul language, but it is also the truth. ”
Zhong Dayou said: "Food, clothing, housing and transportation, food and clothing are the first things, and naturally the most important thing." ”
Zong Zheng Baiquan said: "Okay, don't make any noise, aren't you afraid of the jokes of the juniors?" Please also see that Di Fan Shaoxia is a guest, for the first time in my God Sect, don't mess around anymore. After Zong Zheng finished speaking, Qiu Chaozhen and Zhong Dayou hurriedly toasted Di Fan and expressed their apology.
Di Fan replaced the wine with tea and thanked the two, but when he saw that Wei Jiunu's anger had not subsided, he said, "Dare to ask how many brothers there are in your sect?" ”
Zong Zheng Baiquan said: "About 130,000." ”
There are five Manichaean divisions, each of which has four guards and each has four to eight commanders, totaling between 80,000 and 160,000. If you add some follow-up and miscellaneous ones who have not been incorporated into the army, then the calculation is more reasonable, 130,000. Di Fan said: "In this way, as the third master of the Central Plains Money Village, I promise to give 1.5 million taels of grain within a month, and give each person two sets of new clothes. In this way, each of your brothers can have ten taels of silver and two sets of new clothes, which should be enough to cope with it for a while. In the future, we can work together again. Of course, the envoys and Wei Changshi have other arrangements, I don't know if it's okay? Qiu Chaozhen and Zhong Dayou were full of joy, and naturally said yes, and the chief of the guards thanked him.
Di Fan said to Wei Jiunu again: "I don't know what is important to the Vermilion Bird Envoy? ”
Wei Jiunu clasped her fists and saluted, saying, "I haven't thanked Di Shaoxia for his strange plan to help my Divine Sect conquer Fuzhou, and I thank you here today." It is also a matter of Fuzhou, and it was reported early this morning that An Xianqi, the envoy of Shannan Dongdao Jiedu, led an army of 30,000 from Xiangzhou and Yingzhou to the west of Fuzhou; Sima Ren, the envoy of Anyuan Jiedu, said that he led an army of 50,000, set out from Anzhou, arrived at the east of Fuzhou with 30,000, and surrounded Meicheng with 20,000. The situation is urgent, and I asked Di Shaoxia to come up with an idea. ”
Di Fan said: "When you attacked Fuzhou, you told Brother Ding that the land of Fuzhou is desirable but not defensible, didn't he say it?" ”
Ding Jie was about to get up and speak, but Wei Jiunu was in front and said: "I didn't care at that time, I thought that the Fuzhou army had been wiped out, so I let Mingliang lead the main force of the Tianlong Guard to stay in Fuzhou." I never thought that the imperial court would retaliate so quickly. I don't know how Di Shaoxia can have a foresight? ”
Di Fan said: "Fuzhou, approaching the old city in the south, Jiangling Mansion in the southwest, and Li Tang in the southeast, is the main road for the princes of the south to pay tribute to the north. Even if the imperial court wants to save face, it will definitely be recovered. Does none of you know? ”
Zhao Guangyi said: "Only my brother has been reminded, but ......"
Zong Zheng Baiquan covered up the ugliness for Wei Jiunu and said: "However, at that time, we were discussing how to deal with the grain and grass in Fuzhou, and we didn't pay attention to it for a while. I think so, everyone has eaten about the same, go to the back chamber, and we'll add it up. ”
Everyone followed Zong Zheng Baiquan to the council hall, and Zong Zheng Baiquan said: "I don't know what Di Fan Shaoxia has to think, can I rescue my brothers of Tianlongwei?" ”
Di Fan said: "I don't know what plan you have set? ”
Zong Zheng Baiquan said: "Before it was agreed, Qiu Da and Zhong Si advocated abandoning Fuzhou and Meicheng, and the brothers could withdraw as much as they wanted; The second sister advocated that the four guards of Jinxi should go directly to the east of Fuzhou, and use the method of internal and external attacks to fight a decisive battle with An Xianqi's 30,000 horses, while Meicheng temporarily took the defensive, as long as An Xianqi was solved, Meicheng would be solved; However, our vortex guard, Zhao Kuangyin, advocated besieging Wei to save Zhao. ”
Di Fan patted Zhao Kuangyin on the shoulder and said, "Wai Wei to save Zhao?" How to arrange troops? ”
Zhao Kuangyin said: "Can I get the map?" ”
Zong Zheng Baiquan nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi took out a map of the Central Plains drawn by Manichaeism from an inconspicuous corner and placed it on the table. When he opened it, Di Fan found that the map not only marked the geographical division map of the Han court and various princes, but also marked the sphere of influence of each sect in the martial arts, but did not mark the Central Plains Qianzhuang. Di Fan said: "The map of your Divine Sect is exhaustive, why don't we have our Central Plains Money Village?" ”
Zong Zheng Baiquan said: "It's not nothing, it's really water wine, elusive." Let's listen to Zhao Kuangyin's thoughts first. ”
Zhao Kuangyin said: "I think it can be arranged like this: first let the brothers of Fuzhou and Meicheng defend the city, and then order Su Zishe and Pan Zhongjian, who are the protectors of the Dharma, to lead the defenders of Macheng, and Zhang Dajiang and Jiang Buyi, who are the protectors of the Zhong, to lead the defenders of Shihecheng to jointly attack Anzhou; In the end, the four guards of Jinxi approached Yingzhou and Xiangzhou respectively. In this way, An Xianqi and Sima Ren said that they would definitely withdraw their troops. Not only can we hold Meicheng, but Fuzhou will not lose it. I don't know what the big brother and you think? ”
He nodded and said, "That's a good idea." ”
Zong Zheng Baiquan said: "Then Di Shaoxia thinks it is feasible? ”
Di Fan only said: "Not necessarily. ”
Shu Shuanghe was already in a hurry to save Gongsun Mingming, and said: "Saving people is like fighting a fire, time is pressing, Di Shaoxia don't sell it, tell me what you think." ”
Di Fan pointed to the map and said, "You see, judging from the map, your forces are mainly concentrated in these eight cities, like gossip on the land of the Central Plains. If both Fuzhou and Meicheng give up, then the forces will be disconnected, and it will be very easy to be divided and surrounded one by one. So at least Meicheng can't be abandoned. If you follow what the Suzaku envoy said, it is inevitable that you will inevitably clash the main force with the imperial court, and your strength is far less than that of the Great Han, which is exactly what the imperial court wants, and I think it is undesirable. If everything is according to what Brother Zhao said, then what should the imperial court do if it orders the Weisheng army of Dengzhou to rush to the aid of Xiangzhou and Yingzhou, orders Jiangling Mansion to approach the east of Fuzhou, and orders Li Tang to take Macheng and Shihe directly? ”
Gu Zhuole said: "Brother, what should I do then?" Everyone also said, but according to Di Shaoxia's orders.
Di Fan said: "You only got the news early this morning, indicating that Fuzhou and Meicheng have been besieged for at least three days. The method is still the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao, but it has to be arranged in detail: first, two lobbyists can be immediately discharged now, and they can go to Jiangling Mansion and Li Tang respectively to talk about peace or alliance; Second, the vortex garrison of the Zhao brothers moved slightly westward, Lang Weitie and Lu Shenggai led a small part of Xishui's troops to Caizhou, and Fan Dezin and Peng Chengtong led the Ruding defenders to attack Nanyang, but they did not fight with the imperial army, just feint; Third, Jin Fengshou led the main force of Jinxi's second guard to cross between Dengzhou and Xiangzhou to prevent the Weisheng army from moving south; Fourth, You Zhong and Xu Youshen led their troops to the outskirts of Xiangzhou, and Zhu Qinguang led their troops to attack Yingzhou; Fifth, Zhang Dajiang and Jiang Buyu led their troops to the suburbs of Suizhou and Shenzhou respectively; Sixth, Su Zishe and Pan Zhongjian led the army to attack Anzhou; Seventh, more flags were planted on both sides outside the east gate of Fuzhou, thinking that they were suspicious soldiers; Eighth, all the money and grain obtained from Fuzhou were distributed to the local people, and notices were posted, probably written like the emperor's edict. Remember, only Yingzhou and Anzhou need to attack, and the other departments can just be deployed. ”
Everything else is easy to understand, and everyone is very confused about Article 8.
