The golden pill offered by the Chongzhen Taoist became the old emperor's talisman, making his little remaining energy burn quickly in an extreme time. And the truth that should have been deceived by his return to the light and returned to the state, and then covered up for a period of time, blurring the eyes of the world, was discovered by the high-ranking lord under the arrogant and self-righteous temptation of Mrs. Anxin. In less than a day, the situation that was still under the control of the old emperor quickly slipped in the direction he least wanted.
The old emperor, who was unwilling to lose power, punished his former henchmen heavily, frantically slaughtered ministers, ordered people to tie up all the Taoist priests in Huaqing Palace, and killed them with the most cruel criminal law, in a vain attempt to suppress all the undercurrents with blood, but he could not prolong his life for a moment. On March 6 of the same year, the old man, who had fought all his life, was cold-blooded all his life, and had been lonely all his life, stopped breathing in his hospital bed.
The death knell rang for a long time, thousands of people mourned, and those who were sincere and sincere, even if they didn't talk about any of them, but most of them thought about their own interests, and felt that they had lost their backers, and their status and even their lives were not guaranteed, so they mourned more and more, crying for their future.
The first emperor was great, the crown prince succeeded to the throne, and everything should have been back on track. Unexpectedly, the crown prince succeeded to the throne for less than half a month, and he didn't have time to make a move on a group of ambitious brothers, and the first emperor's nickname had not been quarreled with by the ministers, and he was expelled from the division by the Chongzhen Taoist, and the eldest disciple who was lucky enough to escape stood up with righteous indignation, angrily denouncing the new emperor for threatening the wife and children of the Chongzhen Taoist, forcing him to poison the golden pill and kill his father's cruel behavior.
As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the government and the opposition.
On March 18, the thirteenth year of Xingping, Emperor Jiao Xian left an edict to punish the king of Guangning County and several brothers who strongly supported the king of Guangning County. Unexpectedly, the wife and children of the king of Guangning County, with the help of his mother and wife, secretly absconded to Xindu County. The rest of the princes and family heads have escaped, and naturally some have been slow to see the opportunity and become ghosts under the forbidden saber.
The prince and the prince are still like this, talking about the officials and the people, for a whole month, Jiankang City was shrouded in bloody rain and bloody wind, and the blood left by the beheaded people coagulated into a thick brown blood stain on the steps, and it could not be cleaned up even if it rained heavily.
On April 27, the thirteenth year of Xingping, the king of Guangning County listed the top ten crimes of the new emperor in Xindu County, and the top of the list was the murder of his father and relatives. The king of Guangning declared that the new emperor was so disloyal, unfilial, unkind, unjust, and unsympathetic, it was really difficult for him to be the emperor, and resolutely raised the anti-flag!
Constrained by the land, the family, and the emperor's thoughts, the kings were not canonized like the previous generations, and naturally there were no other soldiers and horses except for the pitiful guards. However, the contradictions between the surname Wu and the Qiaoxing family have accumulated deeply, and the new emperor's ability is mediocre, and he has no talent for the first emperor. Inevitably, his family was suppressed and lost his place to stay, and most of the high-ranking lords in the family surnamed Wu participated in the rebellion. Even the families with overseas Chinese surnames, most of them also saw that the flying and domineering of the Zhending Guo family was not pleasing to the eye, and raised the anti-flag, targeting the new emperor and the Zhending Guo family, there are not a few.
On May 1, Wang rebelled to Guangping and Guang'an counties in Linhai County.
On May 5, Jiangxia Guangrong County Wang rebelled.
On May 11, Yuzhang Guangxing County Wang rebelled.
On May 12, the king of Lujiang Guanglie County rebelled.
On May 14, the king of Guangyue County in Changsha rebelled
…………
Until the beginning of June, the twenty-three older princes left by the first emperor, except for five ghosts under the knife who were confused and did not run fast, two echoing insects who followed the pace of the new emperor, three who were careless, and who didn't care about everything, or the county kings who didn't care about the world. The twelve princes next to him have all raised the banner of rebellion, and their prestige is promising, and they are approaching Jiankang in the southern capital.
With the rebellion of the kings, the people who were oppressed and exploited also took advantage of the chaos to swell up large or small uprisings, making the already chaotic situation even more complicated.
Although Guo Sheng is the Great Sima, in charge of national military affairs, and also the three divisions of Kaifu Yitong, leading the Qing Xu Yang Jingxiang to hand over the military of the six states, it sounds infinitely proud, but he has no credible and usable troops at hand, but there are not so many credible and usable troops on hand. What's more, Guo Sheng was the most jealous of the Lu clan, and he did not participate in the war, which made him have to keep part of the troops in his hands to defend against the family with the strongest military strength and the highest prestige in this family surnamed Wu.
It is true that Guo Sheng has the intention of abolishing his nephew, who he considers weak and incompetent, and sitting in that supreme position himself, but he also knows that if he does not resolve the rebellion of the kings and calls the king emperor without authorization, he will definitely scatter his loyalty and weaken his own power, which is not dominant. It was according to his plan to assassinate the new emperor and the princes of the new emperor, and ordered the saint to draft an edict, which was passed to Qingzhou Mu Shen Fu, Jizhou Mu Zhou Shi, Xuzhou Mu Li Song and Si Li Xiao Liang Jiao.
Not only that, Guo Sheng, who was afraid that they would not come, also repaired the book one by one in private, and ordered someone to send a private message to the past early, not to mention the right medicine, but also to make a heavy promise to these four people that was enough for them to act. In his heart, he took the opportunity to remove the idea of killing the donkey, and after sitting in the south to pacify the south, he immediately waved his army to the north, unified the Central Plains, and achieved the dream of supreme hegemony.
Jizhou Mu Zhou Shi and Si Li Captain Liang Jiao are both brutal and murderous people, and the people under their rule are bloody, but they dare not speak out. When these two people led the troops away, Silizhou and Jizhou were in chaos, what bandits, horse thieves, and bandits...... Emerge in endlessly, repeatedly attacking the county government and threatening the government, not to mention the dock fort of the family, even the slightly larger clansmen of the Han clan are also harassed by them, once they are breached, the family is ruined.
Sili Prefecture borders Liangzhou, Liang Jiao left, many forces coveting Hongnong County were ready to move, the already chaotic Liangzhou North surname family, but also the military deployment of Hongnong County several times, Liang Dou had no choice but to rush from Hanoi to Hongnong to preside over the overall situation, but because he did not have the prestige of his brother, he acted quite tied.
At the same time, in the chaotic Northland, the only state that seems to be still stable, there is also a sense of unease.
Xie Jun's biological mother died two years ago, and Xie Jun resigned from the government and returned to Jiankang with his wife. As the situation became more and more unstable, the matter of who would succeed him as governor of the state could only be put on hold for the time being after more than 20 fruitless quarrels between the DPRK and China. If the world is governed, the post of state pastor is temporarily vacant for three or five years, it doesn't matter, but now when the court is in turmoil and the holy decree is almost equivalent to a dead letter, whoever can do this by force and the state pastor, the court has to admit that it has to be appeased. Even if the newly appointed governor of the state is unable to control the overall situation, he still has a legitimate name.
The nine counties of Bingzhou, Yanmen, Wuyuan, and Shuofang are located on the border, and they fight against the Hu people all the year round, and although the power is quite strong, there is not much possibility of inward advancement. The area of Dingxiang County is too small, there is not much power, although Shuofang County has the ability to guard the county, the ability is limited, and he is only willing to be trapped in one acre and three points of land. Xilin and Shangjun have a good area, but under the intentional provocation of Xu Ze, Liang and others, many forces in the county are fighting like black corns, and the internal fighting is too busy, and there is no possibility of further advancement.
In this way, the candidate for the governor of the state can naturally only be produced between Xu Ze, the assassin of the state, and Dou Kai, the governor of the state.
The three-level system of counties and counties of the Great Qi Gaozu Dingzhou, in order to coerce the state pastors, lest they divide one side, set up a thorn history and the division of power is not enough, and a governor is made, and the two are equal in status and share the military power. But Xu Ze also received the rank of general of Anbei, and temporarily replaced the Dazhongzheng of the state, and he is still a rare generous and generous person in the north. In terms of fame, prestige, and qualifications, none of Dou Kai can match Xu Ze, but may people in this world give up chasing and struggling because they "can't catch up with each other"? Obviously not, so Dou Kai, who is not as good as Xu Ze in Qi cultivation kung fu, took the lead in making a move.
"According to the news from the insiders, these days, the number of convoys traveling from Jinyang to Qi County, Wu County and Yangyi has quadrupled." Xu Hui sat in the study, calmly flipped through the confidential information, and talked eloquently, "It seems that Dou Kai finally can't sit still, and plans to swallow us in one bite." ”
February 16 of the thirteenth year of Xingping was the death of her previous life, and it also made her faintly panic in her heart, afraid that this day would be the day when God would take her life again. And while he thought that he had survived the catastrophe safely, it also made Xu Hui let go of the last trace of gains and losses, and while sincerely thanking the sky, his means became more and more powerful.
Xu Pan clasped his hands on his chest, sat in a straight position, and when he heard Xu Hui's words, he sneered: "Want to swallow us in one bite?" He's not afraid to choke on himself? ”
Ignoring his brother's angry words, Xu Yun pondered for a moment, a little undecided, and asked a pair of children: "Qi County, Wu County, Yangyi...... These three counties are all very close to our party. Do you think that in the counties of Shangdang, which road will Dou Kaihui choose as the main offensive target? ”
Before anyone else could say anything, Xu Hui said: "With Dou Kai's gambling nature, I am not surprised which way I will choose." The only thing I can be sure of is that this arrogant and conceited, for the sake of victory, does not care about the lives of his troops at all, and will definitely divide a part of his troops and order them to cross Zhangshan Mountain and raid Zhanxian County, in a vain attempt to play a surprise effect. ”
Zhan County is adjacent to the mountain range, located in the north of Shangdang, far away from the Shangdang counties, whether it is attacking or reinforced, it needs to consume a lot of materials, even if it does not interfere too much with the main battle situation, it can also play a disgusting role, if you let a wise person command, maybe it will become the first step in the fall of Shangdang. With Dou Kai's character, it is indeed very likely that he will do so.
However, the reason why the strange soldier can be called a strange soldier is because it has an unexpected effect, if it is guessed early, what is the point? It was Xu Heng who said lightly: "Don't worry about him in advance, let's take a look at how to adjust the deployment of troops." (To be continued.) )
