Chapter 157: The Great War That Comes to the Ground
Luoyang, West Garden. ◢ with ◢ dream ◢ small ◢ .lā
There are two palaces in Luoyang, one is the South Palace, the other is the North Palace, and the West Garden is in the west of the North Palace, close to the location of the Upper West City Gate, this palace is a huge school field, it used to be the imperial court arsenal, and later the arsenal was moved to the south, this piece was transformed into a palace garden, and merged into the North Palace City.
Now the West Garden is also a school field, and the eight battalions of the garrison are the soldiers and horses under the five battalions of the Northern Army in Luoyang City, even the southern army is better than the strength of the eight battalions of the West Garden.
The commander of the eighth battalion in the West Park is the captain of the military colonel.
Jian Shuo's martial arts are quite extraordinary, especially the sword technique, in Luoyang City, the person who can win him, in addition to the general He Jin, is already the second, he is the strongest person in martial arts among the ten permanent servants, and at the same time quite a martial arts, is a eunuch that the Son of Heaven relies on.
In the heart of the Son of Heaven, Jian Shuo's status is only under Zhao Zhong.
"Mu Gongzi, this is the holy decree that His Majesty just came, His Majesty can be said to love Gongzi very much, so Gongzi, you have to thank Your Majesty for your kindness, and you should conscientiously repay Your Majesty's trust in the future!"
In the afternoon, when the sun was setting, in the West Garden, in a barracks, Jian Shuo smiled and loosened a holy decree in Mu Jing's hand.
After a morning of recuperation, Mu Jing regained some physical strength.
There were only forty-seven people left in his party, and all of them lived in the West Garden.
At this moment, I'm afraid that only the West Garden can accommodate him.
He must save his life and ensure that Mushan returns to the imperial court without fail, otherwise all his previous efforts will be wasted.
"Your Majesty loves you, and your ministers are ashamed of it, and you will never give up in the future, serve Your Majesty, and solve problems for your father-in-law!" Mu Jing's injuries were not light, but not to the point where he couldn't stand up, he walked with steps, bowed with his hands, and received the holy decree with both hands.
"Then you take care of your injuries!"
Jian Shuo said confidently: "In this West Garden, with our family, no one can hurt your life!" ”
"Thank you father-in-law for your maintenance, and the future will be rewarded!"
Mu Jing took a deep breath and gave Huo Yu a look: "Zhongheng, send your father-in-law out!" ”
"No!"
Huo Yu took out two gold cakes from his sleeve and quietly handed them to Jian Shuo: "Father-in-law, go slowly!" ”
Jian Shuo walked out satisfied.
In the barracks, there are more than ten houses, and in one house, Jiang Lu walked out and looked at Jian Shuo's back in the distance: "Your Majesty's generous reward, adding officials to the knighthood, it is a good thing, it means that it is a foregone conclusion, but the ten permanent servants are entangled, but there are some flaws, it seems that from now on, we will all be branded with a ......"
"Be careful!"
Before he could say anything to me, he was stopped by Mu Jing, who shook his head and signaled that he was leaving Jian Shuo, and asked him not to speak.
It wasn't until Jian Shuo couldn't see his back that Mu Jing said: "They are martial arts practitioners, their ears and eyes are clear, here in the future, when we speak, we must be careful that the wall has ears, and some words can be said in our hearts, but we can't say them." ”
"It's just a little unwilling!"
Jiang Lu is usually cautious, but now he is indeed a little confused, and it took a long time to calm down, and said: "We finally got close to Lu Zhi and Cai Yong, and they are Qingliu scholars, who are also well-known in Shilin, but now overnight, they have been branded with the name of the eunuch party, no matter how you think about it, you are a little unwilling!" ”
Since they lived in the West Garden, they must have been branded with the henchmen of the eunuch party, and in Shilin, they were beaten to eighteen layers of hell, even if Mu Jing had just guessed some of their reputation, they would be gone.
This is the helplessness of the eunuchs.
Those who read are inherently incompatible with eunuchs.
"No way!"
Mu Jingchang sighed and said: "In Luoyang City here, Lu Zhi can't save us, they have no soldiers in their hands, they can't suppress people, only the ten permanent servants have military power, and they can keep us peaceful!" ”
"In the battle last night, Your Majesty was furious, maybe they don't dare to do it again!" Jiang Ludao.
"Humph!"
Mu Jing said: "Can you guarantee that they will not take risks, I don't dare, as the so-called loss and wisdom, we can't make the same mistake again, what was the situation last night, you and I know, if we do it again, do you think we still have our lives to escape?" ”
"This ......" Jiang Lu was speechless.
Last night's danger, he personally experienced, and naturally understood that if it weren't for Mu Jing's ruthlessness and burning it, I am afraid that what he could find in the mansion of Jingping Commercial Bank today would be the corpses of all of them.
"A eunuch is a eunuch!"
Mu Jing's eyes were fierce, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Now nothing is more important for us to gain a firm foothold in Luoyang, when we have a firm foothold, I will return these hatreds to them little by little, I Mu Jing, never suffer!" ”
"That's all there is to it now!" Jiang Lu nodded: "But the Son of Heaven took advantage of this opportunity to catch them off guard, I heard that the executive Jinwu, the Luoyang Order, and the city defense general have all been dismissed!" ”
"Huh!"
Mu Jing sneered: "They treat the Son of Heaven as a child's play, so naturally they have to pay a price, but this price is not enough, wait, I will let them know that they will pay a greater price, whether it is a family or a relative, if you want to kill me, you must have the ability to bear it!" ”
Jiang Lu looked at the hideousness on Mu Jing's face, his heart tightened, and he shuddered.
"What about our casualties?"
Mu Jing walked inside, in this barracks, it was all their people, but a room full of wounded soldiers made him unbearable, and he was able to escape last night, either injured or burned, none of them were intact.
He and Jiang Luhuo were well protected, and they were barely slightly injured.
"Huo Shao was seriously injured, there are only fifteen guards left, Zhao Ping has not woken up from a coma, the soldiers under his command have almost been damaged, only seven remain, and more than a dozen people from the trading house have also been killed and burned to death, and the Taiping Divine Guards have also killed two people!"
Huo Yu followed closely, and he, the secretary and clerk, was very conscientious, and reported in a low voice: "The most important thing is that Zhang Huo is in charge, he was sandwiched by two masters, and the scars on his body were twenty-seven large and small, and the blood stained his whole body, and the imperial doctors who came to diagnose said that if it weren't for his physical fitness, he would have bled to death, and now he is still in a coma, the imperial doctor has given him medicine to stop the bleeding, when he will wake up, it's hard to say!" ”
"There's nothing the doctor can do!"
"The doctor said he had done his best!"
"Pen and ink!"
"In!"
Mu Jing lay down and waved his pen and ink, and wrote two letters, one to Mu Shan and one to Zhang Ning: "Huo Yu, immediately send someone to Runan, hurry!" ”
These two letters, one is to explain the matter to Mu Shan, and the other is to invite Zhang Ning to Beijing, Zhang Ning is the holy hand of medical Taoism, unparalleled in the world, Zhang Huo's injury is helpless even if the imperial doctor is helpless, only when she comes in person, Mu Jing can rest assured.
"No!"
Huo Yu nodded and went out with the letter.
"You're worried about Runan!" Jiang Lu squinted.
"Worried!"
The pastor nodded and said: "Father has a bad temper, if someone is aggressive, he may be the opposite, and it is not surprising that if someone wants to force him to rebel at this time, it is not impossible to do it!" ”
"You underestimate the lord too much, the lord should be able to endure it, after all, you are in the capital, even if he can't help it, he will continue to endure, you are unique in the eyes of the lord, he would rather be humiliated himself than let you fall into a trap!"
"How are you injured?"
"Burn a little, recuperate for three or five days, and you'll be safe and sound!"
"Start as soon as possible, I always feel a little uneasy when you are not by my father's side!" Mu Jing said.
"Hmm!"
Jiang Lu was also worried, so he nodded and said: "I will leave tomorrow to return to Runan, meet the lord, retreat to Nanyang as soon as possible, and sit firmly in Nanyang first!" ”
"Be careful, if some rules are broken, it will be your life and death, your weakness is to believe in the rules too much, when you change your mind, you must be ruthless enough, otherwise it will be difficult for you to suppress the Nanyang clan!"
"I understand!"
Jiang Lu can also be regarded as a loss and a wise man, in the past, he was a talent manifested by the knowledge accumulated from reading, but now he has begun to accumulate experience after experience, and he is even better.
……
Mid-October, Runan.
Pingyu County Town.
In the city is the Violent Bear Army under the banner of Nanyang is stationed, but outside the city is the Runan Army that hurried south from Ruyin and came with arrogance, the two armies faced each other, and the atmosphere became a little tense.
City.
Mu Shan looked out of the city at the head of the city, and the Runan army in the camp for several miles put a lot of pressure on him, and the Runan army provoked again and again these days, and he was about to lose his patience: "Hurry Lao Tzu, I'll see if you are more difficult to fight than Gongdu Liu Pi!" ”
These days, this is not the first time that the Runan Army has provoked.
They came south, and they have not recognized the banner of the Nanyang Army, and their intention is obvious, they want to seize Pingyu, Shangcai and other county towns in his hands, and regain control of Runan County.
But now these counties are in the hands of Mushan, and Mushan has 100,000 lions in his hands, how can he back down, and the situation will naturally become tense.
"Lord, General Zhou Cang has returned from outside the city, and he is injured!"
"What?"
Mushan hurriedly got off the city wall and went straight to the flying cavalry camp.
"How's Yuanfu?" Mu Shan walked into the flying cavalry camp and looked at Zhou Cang, who was lying on the bed with a pale face, and his expression was slightly cold.
"Mu Shuai, he was scattered by the master's Gang force, the person who started was very ruthless, and he used the gang force to shock his dantian, if he didn't cultivate well, he would leave a secret injury, and it would be difficult to advance an inch of martial arts in the future."
Zhang Ning was diagnosing Zhou Cang, and after the diagnosis, he said softly: "But fortunately, the injuries on his body were discovered early, I prescribed medicine to recuperate for a while, and he should be able to recover, but this month, he must not use force!" ”
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
When Mu Jing heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Zhou Cang, and said, "Yuanfu, what's the matter, didn't I give an order not to fight?" ”
"I'm sorry, lord, I was fooled!"
Zhou Cang said: "I commanded twelve scouts to patrol the outside of the city, but was killed by the Runan army, I was angry, out of the camp to challenge, but was injured by a military general armed with a three-pointed knife, we fought for seventeen rounds, I was cut off the horse, if it was not for the left and right desperate rescue, I am afraid I would have died in battle!" ”
"Seventeen rounds can kill you, this person's martial arts will only be above me, not below me!"
Makiyama's pupils changed color, and his face became more and more gloomy.
"Lord, this person should be the first fierce general under the command of Yuan Yin, the commander of Runan, Ji Ling, who makes good use of a fifty-pound three-pointed knife!" Tan Zong said beside him.
"Ji Ling?"
The light in Mu Shan's eyes became more and more cold: "I want to meet him in person for a while, dare to hurt my beloved general, hum, I will let him pay it back!" ”
"Someone!"
"In!"
"Drums, Jujun!" Mu Shan's endurance was completely broken by Zhou Cang's injury: "If they want to fight in the Runan Army, a certain family will fight!" ”
"The Runan Army is so provocative, it is clear that they want the lord to rebel!"
Liu Jin walked up and whispered advice: "If the lord goes to war, he will naturally be a thief, and the lord must not be fooled!" ”
"Then can we just let it be bullied?" Mu Shan roared angrily: "Today's twelve scouts were killed, four soldiers were shot last night, how many soldiers can I die unjustly!" ”
"My lord, no matter what, we still need to be patient!"
Li Yan still knows Mushan better, he arched his hand and said: "Now the young master is running in Luoyang, if the lord can't hold his breath, it will inevitably affect the young master, and the young master will be beheaded by the imperial court at that time!" ”
When Mushan heard this, he couldn't speak, his forehead was bumpy, and his fists were clenched tightly.
"Lord!"
Zhou Cang also struggled to sit up: "For the sake of the overall situation, please bear with the lord!" ”
"I'll bear it!"
Makiyama brushed his sleeves away, sulking alone.
