Chapter 40: Persuasion
Two days later, the military lords of all armies who received the order of the king of Jiangxia gathered in Jiangning, and Tan Xiaozu came back overnight, two hours earlier than the others, and met Xu You in advance and knew the cause and effect. Although he also feels the impermanence of life and death, he is a soldier after all, he is decisive in killing, and he will not let his emotions control his reason, and he quickly analyzes the pros and cons in his heart, and completely agrees with Xu You's solution.
In fact, he had no choice but to agree!
When everyone arrived, the king of Jiangxia summoned them through the curtain, saying that they were infected with the wind and cold, and did not dare to see the light and the wind, and the figure of His Royal Highness was faintly seen leaning against the head of the bed through the curtain, and several maids served with medicine, and from time to time they heard a few violent coughs sticking to their hearts.
Yang Chun, the leader of the guards, stood on the left side of the curtain, wearing leather armor and a sword at his waist, still majestic and cold as usual. Yan Wan, who joined the army, stood on the right side, but was immediately summoned by King Jiangxia, he opened the curtain in front of everyone and walked in, that is, in this short moment, many people in the house saw the side face of King Jiangxia - pale, thin, and shriveled, as if he was not lightly ill.
“…… Ahem, I don't have enough energy to say much...... Or according to the regulations agreed upon last night, it is up to you and the generals to say that they are all confidants who have followed me for many years, and they should understand that the overall situation is the most important...... Ahem, ahem......"
Yan Wan's voice was a little crying, and said: "Your Highness must be relieved, the doctor said, use a few more medicines to force the wind evil out, and you will definitely be cured......"
"Idiot, birth, old age, sickness and death, what else can't be seen? Go ahead, call Tan Xiaozu in! ”
Yan Wan's eyes were red when she came out, and the water marks in her eyes did not roll down, she was simply a first-class acting school. Tan Xiaozu was greatly admired, his hands were dressed in robes, his waist was slightly bent, his steps were heavy in an instant, and the expression on his face remained unchanged, but it gave people a sad and inexplicable feeling.
Old horseman, what a deep scheming!
Yan Wan lowered her head and said with hatred in her heart.
Listening to King Jiangxia's words, everyone in the room was shocked, and doubts and worries began to permeate. But Jingzhou governed the army strictly, was not named, no one dared to speak and discuss, they could only make eye contact with each other, but they had to get any useful information.
“…… Filial piety, you know that you are good at fighting, but you have an upright temperament, and you offend people but you don't know it. In the long run, the disaster is not in front of the battle, but in the back of the neck...... With me here, don't worry, I can still protect you, if I'm not there, what should you do? In the future, we should read more, nourish our spirit, and be elegant and tolerant...... Go, Yan Wan has offended you before, I will make amends for you on his behalf, and in the future, national and family affairs will depend on you to work with one heart and one mind......"
Now everyone heard that King Jiangxia had the intention of arranging the aftermath, and the generals suddenly changed color, you must know that this is not usual, this is a rebellion, creating and creating without the backbone, and it can even be said that there is no name for righteousness, how can it be created?
Waiting to die? Or surrender?
An Xiuming is cruel and unreasonable, will he spare them if he surrenders? Even if it is spared for the time being, will it settle accounts after the autumn?
For a while, all kinds of thoughts came flooding back, and they overwhelmed the concern about the fate of King Jiangxia. After getting along with each other for so many years, the relationship cannot be said to be deep, but no matter how deep the relationship is, it can't compare to one's own life and future.
It's not cruel, it's realistic!
Tan Xiaozu came out of it, and what made the generals feel even more strange was that he actually saw An Xiulin, the king of Linchuan, who was supposed to be supervising the battle downstream.
"My sixth brother and I are about to act together, east and west go hand in hand, each other is Austrian aid, Jiangxia Linchuan, this is a brother, Jingzhou Yangzhou, was originally one. Now I am infected with scabies and have no ability to control the situation in Jingzhou, so I ask the sixth brother to serve as a hussar general and concurrently serve as the assassin of Jingzhou, and to supervise the military affairs of the five states of Jingyongjiang and Yangliang, and you should treat me with the heart of serving me, remember, remember ......"
King Jiangxia's coughing sound seemed to be about to spit out all his internal organs, which made people's hearts beat, as if he would hold his breath in the next moment and never wake up again.
If the king of Jiangxia really can't do it, then it is better to take refuge in the king of Linchuan than to return to Jinling......
Just as Guo Mian doesn't look down on An Xiulin, these arrogant generals don't look down on An Xiulin, but they can still compare the goods, compare with An Xiuming, at least follow An Xiulin, everyone's lives can be saved!
Thinking about it like this, the idea was opened, An Xiulin was weak, and he had to rely on the Jingzhou army to gain a firm foothold. In other words, if you take refuge in the past, instead of being afraid of the power in your hands being weakened, you will strengthen it appropriately.
This, seems to be a good thing?
Anyway, at this point, no matter who takes the lead, as long as it is the prince of the An family, Xinting has just won a big victory, the situation is very good, and it is better to fight with the king of Linchuan than to surrender with his tail between his legs!
"Get out, I'm tired...... I should confess, I have already explained to the sixth brother and Yan Wan, you obey the order, if anyone dares to disobey the yang and the yin...... Tan Xiaozu! ”
"It's here!"
"I'm sick and can't move! Can you still cut with your knife? ”
Tan Xiaozu pulled out his waist knife, the cold light shone on the fighting room, crossed his chest, looked around, and said: "The knife under the section is dedicated to cutting the dog things that are ungrateful and unrighteous!" ”
Everyone's hearts froze, Xue Xuanmo looked at Tan Xiaozu's gaze and swept over, cold sweat broke out on his back, and he hurriedly knelt on his knees and said, "Listen to the order!" ”
The Douxing of the Rising Ground knelt down, and the others didn't dare to hesitate any longer, knelt on the ground in unison, and said, "Listen to the order!" ”
"Good, good, good!
King Jiangxia said three good words in a loud voice, and his passionate voice seemed to return to the youth of Jin Ge Iron Horse and North and South, and then the voice gradually fell back, and finally disappeared.
With Qingming Yirong as the body of King Jiangxia, and Zong Yu's ventriloquist as King Jiangxia's voice, the two cooperate seamlessly, and with the endorsement of Yan Wan and Tan Xiaozu, no one suspects that the King of Jiangxia on the bed is fake, so that the time of King Jiangxia's death can be perfectly postponed, and the suspicion of An Xiulin and others is removed, and too much trouble is avoided.
Leaving the bedroom and going to the main hall to discuss the matter, Tan Xiaozu and Yan Wan jointly invited An Xiulin to take a seat, but he couldn't refuse, and in the end, Xue Xuanmo, Tantai Douxing and others all made a request, so they reluctantly sat down.
“…… The third brother is auspicious, and after a while, he will be healed, so you don't have to worry too much. As for summoning me to come, it is just a temporary substitute for the history of Jingzhou, all government and military affairs, but also by Yan Senjun and Tan Sima to discuss, you just have to fight with peace of mind, and when you enter Jinling, the emperor will be restored, Tianwei will be changed, you will be added to the official and enter the knighthood, and you will be crowned with wives and sons, and you will enjoy endless glory and wealth ......from generation to generation."
An Xiulin is approachable, and can even be said to be very humble, and the Jiangxia King, who often beats and scolds his subordinates and likes to be powerful. In just a short time, he recognized all the people in the room, not only by name, but also by name, but also by everyone's background, resume, and achievements.
Although not everyone is convinced, in any case, at least it has been initially approved by the majority of people, and there is no worst situation that causes the collapse of people's hearts. Next, the battle ahead was discussed, and the most urgent difficulties faced by the armies were raised, most of which were logistical and supply problems, and then Yan Wan gave the time and strategy to solve them one by one.
As he said, Anshulin did not interfere in these things, but only placed a statue in front of the hall, and promised every invitation, so that the generals felt at ease.
For the above can not understand, but don't don't pretend to understand, rebellion is like starting a business, An Xiulin with An's blood and orthodox righteousness into the shares, others with ingenuity and courage and loyalty into the shares, who should do the work, the company can maintain a good operation, not to start a business before half and the middle way collapsed.
After that, the meal was simply arranged, after all, the king of Jiangxia was terminally ill, and it was unseemly to eat and drink. After eating, each went back to his room to rest, and prepared to return to the new pavilion early tomorrow morning. Cao Shugui shrank to check the Pu base, he didn't dare to take his head, he didn't even deserve to lift his shoes for Shen Du, but he couldn't take him seriously as nothing, if the other party suddenly had a nerve, he would organize a counterattack tonight, and Xinting only left a few generals, and he might not be able to hold it.
In the middle of the hour, there were no stars and no moon, it was the time to sleep soundly, noisy footsteps sounded in the house, accompanied by the exclamations of many slaves, everyone came out of the room one after another, and saw Yang Chun with hundreds of guards guarding the various intersections, only then did they know that the king of Jiangxia had just died.
Because of the scene performed during the day, time and space were reserved for everyone's psychological construction, and the death of King Jiangxia did not cause much turmoil. An Xiulin cried to death in front of the sickbed, Tan Xiaozu pulled him up, and said sharply: "The three armies cannot be left without a master for a day, please Your Highness immediately accept the seal letter of the Great Sima, the Grand Governor, and the Jingzhou Assassin History, from now on, the Jingzhou army is tens of thousands of strong, and is willing to be driven by His Royal Highness......"
Before the words fell, Yan Wan rushed in with two people, one of whom was An Zishang, the king of Jingling, he was old, his face was full of dirt, and the coarse linen clothes he was wearing were smelly, and he said loudly: "What else is the history of Jingzhou...... If you want me to say, Hulin, you should ascend the throne as emperor! ”
The whole house was shocked, and even the crying stopped, but in just a few breaths, the brain realized that this was a golden opportunity. General Lingjiang and Changning Taishou Luo Bird knelt on the ground and said: "What King Ling said is extremely true, the traitor Xiu Ming is in danger by performing the power of the country, and he is extremely vicious, and His Royal Highness cannot be safe and secure, and the throne cannot be empty for a long time, and all opportunities cannot be lost for a long time. ”
Yan Wan was conceited and clever, but at a critical time, she was preempted by a small Taishou, and she looked at her coldly, wrote down this black account in her heart, and knelt down, saying: "The minister heard that he was born with the people, and the tree is the king, so he is the one who crosses the heavens and the earth, and the priest Li Yuan." In view of this, the Holy Monarch knew that heaven and earth could not be without food, so he bent down to serve him; Knowing that steaming Li can't be left without an owner, he has to come as a last resort. Today, the danger of the country is like a mess, please Your Highness to take the society as the business, the head of the Qianqian as the worry, and take the flood as the leader. ”
An Xiulin waved his hand anxiously, hurriedly helped Yan Wan and Luo Yu, and said with tears: "The third brother just left, I am sad and sad, I have no master, how dare I occupy the throne without permission, this matter must not be mentioned again......"
Behind An Zishang was Yuan Can, seeing that An Xiuming killed An Yuxiu, Xinting was defeated again, Cao Shu changed Shen Du, and if he stayed any longer, he would either die at the hands of An Xiuming, or be questioned after the city was broken, it was better to go out of the city as soon as possible to take refuge, with his Yuan's lintel, he should protect himself.
However, the Sili Mansion has gradually increased the curfew, and it is not so easy to get out of the city now. Yuan Can had already seen that An Zishang also had the intention of leaving the city, and quietly went to the palace, and the two hit it off, and then drilled the dog hole out of Qingxi and escaped from Nancheng along the Qinhuai River.
Who knew that he had just left the city for three miles and met Xiao Xunqi.
Xiao Xunqi stood alone on the left side of the road, but no one knew how many murderous disciples were hidden in the darkness behind him. An Zishang's face turned pale with fright, and he collapsed in the ox cart, and even Yuan Can secretly said that he was going to do something big, ready to be killed. Unexpectedly, Xiao Xunqi did not make a move, but bowed down to the ox cart, and then turned around and disappeared into the night in the distance.
After a while, An Zishang and Yuan Can, who were desperate for life, glanced at each other, and Yuan Can said in a low voice: "What does Captain Xiao mean?" ”
An Zishang swallowed hard and spit, and said, "The tree is falling and scattered, he is begging us to say two good words for the Xiao family in the future......"
Even Xiao Xunqi knew that the general trend was coming, so he deliberately let An Zishang and Yuan Can go to form a good fate for the future of the family. An Zishang received his love, and Yuan Can stayed awake and went straight to Jiangning, just in time for the scene of An Xiulin crying for the third brother, and immediately put forward the suggestion that was originally going to be given to King Jiangxia.
Please take the throne of the emperor!
Anyway, the meat is rotten in your own pot, and the king of Jiangxia is gone, that is your king of Linchuan.
Many times, even the emperor's choice is so casual, nothing more than luck!
