Not long after sending Gu Yun away, Xu You ushered in Zhang Mo, the second guest of the night, and as soon as they met, he couldn't help but stand up and said, "No doubt, why are you so haggard?" ”

Zhang Mo was wearing a gray kudzu robe, his eyes were bloodshot, the corners of his lips were chapped and blistered, his eyes were dull, his hair was scattered like grass, and he was described as withered and annihilated, where is there still the slightest look of the five-colored dragon luan?

He was silent, bowed to Xu You, wanted to speak and stopped, and said, "Weizhi, I ......"

Xu You looked at him, as if he was ashamed to say something, waved his hand to rebuke everyone, pulled him to sit on the futon, and said: "No doubt that there is something to say, there is nothing that cannot be said about the friendship between us!" ”

"I ...... Get ready to leave Kure County! ”

"Leave?" Xu You was puzzled: "Yangzhou is still in turmoil, and I'm afraid that other places are not as safe as here in Wu County...... By the way, where do you want to go? ”

"Back to Zhuji!"

Zhang Mo raised his head, his expression became resolute, and said, "Du Mingyu sent someone to send me a letter the night before, saying that my mother was in his hands, and I was ordered to surrender within ten days." If you hesitate to return late, you are afraid that you will see you again in this life! ”

"Huh?"

Xu You was speechless for a long time, he never expected that Du Mingyu would pay attention to Zhang Mo's head. When Zhuji fell, Zhang Mo happened to study in Wu County, and they got together with Wu Shixing, so they escaped a catastrophe. During this period of time, I was often anxious, and I tried every possible way to find out the news of my hometown, and if I hadn't been stopped by my friends several times, I was afraid that I would have ventured back to Zhuji alone. The war is in chaos, and he is a scholar and scribe who is powerless, and there is a ninety percent chance that he will die halfway. Later, Gu Yun appeased him and promised to try his best to help inquire, but the war was urgent, and he didn't settle for a while, but he didn't expect it to really fall into Du Mingyu's hands.

"Don't be impulsive, don't wait? The army in the imperial court is coming, the white thief will soon be pacified, Du Mingyu has no grievances with you, but he just wants to pretend to be your reputation, and he may not really do this evil thing that angers people and resents people, and he will ......be ruthless to Ling Tang."

Zhang Mo's eyes were filled with tears, and he said gloomily: "There is no need to persuade Weizhi, I have already thought clearly about the pros and cons in the past two days, and surrender is nothing more than a thief, and he can't be loyal, but he can be filial." Loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, only loyalty and filial piety are just abandoned! ”

Xu You has a lotus tongue on weekdays, and he can say three points of truth if he is unreasonable, but in the face of Zhang Mo at this time, there is no way to comfort him. What kind of person is Xu Shu of the Three Kingdoms, isn't he committed to serving Cao Wei for his mother? Zhang Mo is filial piety and pure, risking his life, this is a kind act that no saint can refuse, what else can Xu You say?

"I will definitely be infamous if I go, in order not to drag down the Bazi Society, please Weizhi and the rest of the brothers, with Gu Fujun and other prestigious people as witnesses, publicly expel me from the Society. The four tones of the rhyme are a change that has not been seen in a thousand years, and it must not be destroyed by me alone. This matter is important, remember! ”

Zhang Mo knew in his heart that after the rebellion, he must not do a lot of things that violate his loyalty and conscience, and if someone deliberately provoked trouble with him as a member of the Eight Sons of West Lake, it would inevitably have a bad impact on Xu You, and further affect the promotion and dissemination of the four tones of the rhyme.

Instead of giving people a handle, it is better for a strong man to break his wrist and completely break off from the West Lake Bazi Society. For him, life and death, honor and disgrace, fame and fortune are actually not as important and urgent as the matter of rebuilding the sound and rhythm of the world.

"Perhaps...... You can send someone to sneak into Zhuji ...... If you see the right time and take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, you should be able to rescue Ling Tang......"

Zhang Mo stood up and said categorically: "Weizhi has experienced life and death from Qiantang, how can he not know that it is more difficult to save people from the enemy camp than to ascend to the sky?" What's more, with your experience, Du Mingyu will definitely be very careful, plus my mother is weak and sickly, I can't take this risk......"

Yes, it's too risky, the old man is not as good as the young man, but there is a bad pool, and he can't regret it when the time comes. Zhang Mo staggered to the door, leaning on the door independently, the moon shadow swayed, pulling the figure out of the long loneliness, he seemed to want to turn back, but he felt that he was carrying a thousand catties of weight on his shoulders, and countless words that he wanted to tell Xu You came to his lips, and only turned into two words:

"Precious!"

Small, precious!

No doubt, cherish!

Xu You looked at his back and disappeared outside the door, his heart was full of regret, and he suddenly slammed his fist on the desk, and said loudly: "Qingming!" ”

Qingming appeared quietly in the room, as if he had never left here, standing quietly beside him, waiting for Xu You's orders.

"Tell the winter solstice, send people along the way to secretly escort Zhang Mo. After arriving in Zhuji, arrange for two clever people to lie dormant around him for the time being, and don't alarm him without my order! ”

"No!"

Do your best, listen to the destiny of heaven, Duming Yucheng Mansion is deep, it is not easy to get along, and it is really difficult to save people from him. Xu You had no other way but to arrange the nails to go in first, and then improvise.

After more than ten days like this, Du Mingyu suddenly proclaimed himself emperor in Qiantang, changed the name of the country to Wu, placed the prince and hundreds of officials, and rewarded the trilogy in a big way. This matter is both unexpected and reasonable, the banner of the Heavenly Master is no longer so easy to use, when Sun Guan made it clear that he wanted to stand with the imperial court, in order to appease the army, Du Mingyu had to give these followers higher material needs in addition to the spiritual needs, so he ascended the throne and became the emperor, and his subordinates could follow the rising tide to raise the boat, seal the king and seal the marquis, and enter and exit the generals, creating a prosperous illusion.

No one knows how long the illusion will last, but for now, this is the best solution!

With Du Mingyu being proclaimed emperor, a piece of literature spread to the world, detailing the seven sins of the An royal family, such as usurping Wei and self-reliance, such as re-emphasizing the Buddha and suppressing the Tao, such as pro-villain Yuan Xianchen, such as frequent natural disasters, such as ruining the people's livelihood, such as the palace filth, all of which point directly to the people's hearts and dare not speak, and the text is extremely sharp.

Then, Zhang Mo, the author of the text, was appointed by Du Mingyu as the secretary of Wu Guozhong, ranking first among civil officials, rewarding 10,000 gold, giving Tianshu, visiting the unknown, and being extremely honored!

Zhang Mo's defection to the enemy immediately caused an uproar, and before Xu You caused a sensation in Jiangzuo with his unparalleled talent, half of the literary world of Chu was headed by the five-colored dragon Luan Zhang Budo and the eight-tone phoenix Lu Shuzhi. And different from Lu Xu, who was born in the Lu family, Zhang Mo represents more of a poor family, in this era when the concept of the door seriously restricts personal development, if you want to get ahead, the poor door is thousands of times more difficult than the children of the door valve, but the appearance of Zhang Mo has made countless people who are struggling in the liao see the hope of turning over, as long as you have the same talent as Zhang Mo, the difference between the door will no longer be a gap between the heavens and the earth, and you can still be famous in all directions, and you can still move the world.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Mo's defection to the enemy has dealt a fatal blow to these poor scholars who are looking at heaven in hell, and the consequences of the collapse of faith, the tarnishing of honor, and the consequence of being truly disappointed are cruel counterattacks and endless slander!

When you are praised, you are an unborn genius,

When you step on you, you are a beast without a father and a king!

Almost instantly, Zhang Mo, the name that once represented countless halos and glory, became a street rat that everyone could spurn, no one cared about his last resort, no one understood his hardships and filial piety, and even Zhang Zihua, a Yangzhou Dazhongzheng who had always been hesitant to carry Zhang Mo, also said two words: Kill!

Those who receive the great grace of the country will not be forgiven for rebellion!

However, Zhang Mo was reused by Du Mingyu's eclectic reuse, and in some ways also played a role in buying horse bones, many literati who had been depressed for many years began to surrender to the white thief regardless of shame, and even there were people who came all the way from Yizhou and Ningzhou to find the first opportunity.

"Xiaolang, this is Zhang Mo's text copied from ......"

Xu You took it from the hands of the winter solstice, spread it out on the desk, stood behind him, poked his head to watch, Yingying was dazzling, and he fell into the gods: "The success or failure of the husband is due to the cause, the reason is not Chang Tai, the cunning is raging, or the value of the sage." Since Yong'an, the country has had many deaths, loyalty and goodness have been shattered in the mouth of the tiger, and Zhenxian has died in the jackal...... Hu monk Taoism, bewitching the sacred heart, arrogant and domineering, and tyrannical capital...... Father and son become slanderers, brothers and sisters are obscene, friends are adulterous, and there is no shame. Looking at the ancient and modern royal family, I have never seen such shamelessness...... As a result, the flow of luck is not the place, the artifact is humiliated, the drought is over, the people are angry, the scholars are tired of transferring, and the civil and military are trapped in the building...... Looking up at astronomy and looking down at people, which one can survive or which one can die...... Therefore, collect the righteous people, work together to coordinate the rules, Mingyu relies on the spirit of the heavenly master, and the power of the husband is exhausted...... Dan Chen was not announced, he was angry and angry, looking at Xiao Han to be forever, looking forward to the mountains and rivers to increase his life, and on the day of his throw, he was a thief. The culprit of the crime, there is nothing to ask, the edict is far away, and the salty envoy knows about it. ”

Cold sweat slowly flowed down his back, and Xu You was almost speechless. Zhang Mo, Zhang Mo, Du Mingyu wants you to write an essay, just deal with it, is it necessary to completely offend An Zidao? As soon as such an article comes out, there is no room for turning around, except for following the white thief to the black, the country of Chu is so big, there is no place for you!

"Zhang Budo's handwriting is really extraordinary!" Lu Shuang praised: "This article is enough to be compared with Chen Lin's insult to Cao Cao's thief......"

Xu You smiled bitterly: "I'm just afraid that the Lord doesn't have Cao Mengde's heart...... Hey, if I had been more resolute and didn't let Zhang Mo leave, I wouldn't have ...... today."

He Wei was half-leaning and half-lying, eating the osmanthus chestnut powder cake specially sent by Gu Yun in his mouth, and said casually: "Zhang Mo is eager to save his mother, unless he is forbidden to his feet, how can he stop it?" Besides, if Zhang's mother is in danger because of this, he will definitely hate Ji Qilang, turn his eyes on hatred, and the gains outweigh the losses! ”

Zuo Yan also sighed and said: "As a son of man, filial piety comes first, Zhang Mo can resolutely let go of everything, surrender to the thief, and be willing to bear the world's infamy, I admire him!" ”

He Wei sat up straight, patted the pastry crumbs in his palm, scoffed at Zuo Yan's statement, and said, "Admiration? I used to think that Zhang Mo was a smart person, but now it seems that he is extremely stupid. It is understandable that he was forced to surrender to the white thief, as long as he is cautious and flexible, and does not be led by Du Mingyu, the court may not be held accountable to the end. When the chaos is calmed down, he will be left alive under the amnesty, and with his talent, he may have a chance to see the light of day again. It's good now, the chickens are flying and the eggs are beating, and there is no possibility of turning back. So it's still better to compare goods, look at Qilang, Du Mingyu coerced and lured, and used all his means, isn't there no way to take Qilang? ”

The more He Wei looked at Xu You, the more pleasing he became, and Xu You said angrily: "If it weren't for the blessing of Toning Zhenren, I would have been cut off by Du Mingyu, and the end would not be as good as Zhang Mo...... Okay, don't talk about it, let's take one step at a time, Du Mingyu said that the emperor founded the country, and the court will not tolerate him for too long, what has Xiao Yushu moved recently? ”

Dong Solstice replied: "Xiao Yushu has been facing off against Chiba in Wucheng for more than half a month, and the victory is not scored. Zhu Zhi made rapid progress, went south from Fuchun, and had already recovered Dongyang County......"

After more than a month, the battle situation was further stalemate, Chiba with 30,000 heavy troops to hold Wucheng, complete armor, abundant grain and grass, Xiao Yushu could not attack for a long time, but he was not in a hurry, first divided his troops to recover Anji, Lin'an, Yuqian and other counties on the west side of Wucheng, and then suddenly attacked and approached Linxi County.

Once Linxi is recovered, the connection between Wucheng and Qiantang will be cut off, and Chiba will no longer be able to return south to Du Mingyu, unless he moves east to the county from the east and bypasses Jiaxing, where Qiu Yuan is stationed, otherwise, this white thief will become a lone army hanging alone in the north of Yangzhou.

There is no food route, no backup, no way out, and if you go north and face Xiao Yushu's Chinese army, all strategic intentions will become empty talk!

At the same time, Zhu Zhi won one after another, first recovering Dongyang County, then Linhai County, and then Yongjia County, with more than 20 battles of all sizes, without any defeat. Sun Guan sent three great sacrificial wines from Heming Mountain to follow Zhu Zhi's army, and everywhere he went, he tried his best to promote Du Mingyu's deception, and Shen Mingming's master Dao had nothing to do with this rebellion, which also caused the white thief's low combat power, unintentional love of war, surrender and anti-water abound. Later, when Zhu Zhijun's banner arrived, the enemy surrendered the city to obedience, and it can almost be said that several counties of Yangzhou were recovered without much effort. Compared with Xiao Yushu, who was in a confrontation with Wucheng and Chiba, Zhu Zhi's reputation was obviously louder.

However, for those people in the bureau, if it weren't for Xiao Yushu to contain the main force of the white thieves in Chiba, Zhu Zhi wanted to attack the city so easily, it was undoubtedly a fool's dream, and it was really a credit to say who was higher and who was lower, at least it was five or five open, and each got half of it, and even if he was not partial, Xiao Yushu's credit should be greater.

Seeing that Linxi was about to be lost, it was of little significance for Chiba to stick to Wucheng again, so in the early morning of December 17, he took the initiative to evacuate Wucheng, moved the defenders eastward, and returned to Qiantang by waterway from the east.

When passing through Jiaxing, Qiu was supposed to intercept it in accordance with Xiao Yushu's military order, but this General Qiu was already frightened, stood at the head of Jiaxing City, saluted, and sent the Chiba Army away safely.

Xiao Yushu knew that Chiba was unpredictable with troops, and he also did not dare to rush forward, and tried to fight steadily, after getting the exact information that Chiba left, he swaggered and occupied Wucheng and Linxi counties, and then gathered his forces to conquer Wukang County, and used Wukang as a base to hoard grain, grass and weapons, and look at Qiantang with strong troops and horses.

So far, the whole county of Wuxing has been recovered, but it has been a mess everywhere, five of the ten counties of Wuxing have been seriously damaged, and Wucheng, who is the county governor, is even more scavenged by Chiba and does not grow an inch of grass, and a fire is also set out before leaving, and there is no five or six years of life, and it is difficult to restore the old view.
