Chapter 21 Entering Jinling Alone

Sun Guan tied his hands into Jinling?

Xu You's mind suddenly sounded with thunder, as if he caught a faint invisible light from the dark clouds, little by little, a little bit, a little bit, luring him to explore the secret behind the dark clouds.

The Heavenly Master's Dao is the opposite, why should Sun Guan risk entering Jinling City, even if he is a great grandmaster, there is absolutely no possibility of surviving in the face of the supreme imperial power.

Unless you are a fool, you will moths fight the fire and kill yourself, but is Sun Guan a fool?

There is no need for an answer to this question, so there is only one explanation, Sun Guan is sure enough to make An Zidao believe that this Yangzhou rebellion has nothing to do with Heavenly Master Dao.

"He's not sure, but it's come to this, he doesn't have a second choice!"

Ning Xuangu's eyes were quiet, and when he talked about Sun Guan, he didn't know whether he admired it from the bottom of his heart, or he was stunned, and said: "My senior brother is really a top figure who has not been born in a hundred years, and the Heavenly Master Dao has developed to such a strong point in his hands, even the master may not have imagined it." If you study the Tao from now on, regardless of the world, after a thousand years, you will definitely become a member of the Heavenly Master Dao generation. But his position of power is obsessed, and he loves the glory and wealth of the world, and he is too deeply connected with the forces of the DPRK and China, and it is difficult to extricate himself. This time Yangzhou was in turmoil, Du Mingyu used the name of the Heavenly Master to respect Sun Guan as the great sage and sage, turning Yangzhou upside down, so that the Quartet shook! ”

"Is it possible for the Heavenly Master Dao to rebel? Of course it's possible! The prince has lost power, the lord's sacred heart is unpredictable, Sun Guan and the prince are in the same breath, and both are lost, will they bewitch the prince to do great rebellion? Maybe, maybe not, when everyone was suspicious, Du Mingyu really reversed! ”

"But the strange thing is that if the Heavenly Master Dao rebels and Jiangdong is governed by the twenty-four rules, why is it only Yangzhou that governs things? Even if Yangzhou's governance is not well coordinated and takes the lead in raising the matter, it has been more than a month now, why has there been no movement in other states? Yizhou alone, Sun Guan wants to rebel, just climb the heights and shout, and the entire Yizhou will not be owned by Chu in three days. Yang and Yi are both chaotic, Chu will not be Chu, and then the east and west lines will go hand in hand, and they will be under the city of Jinling, wouldn't the odds of winning be greater? ”

Xu You nodded and said: "That's the truth, Sun Guanzhi is as deep as the sea, if he really wants to rebel, it will definitely not be like this, just Yangzhou is turbulent, and it can't threaten the national capital of Chu at all. ”

Therefore, the princes of the court and the princes were waiting for the reaction of Heming Mountain, so they only sent Qiu Yuan to lead the 20,000 soldiers of the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion to be responsible for quelling the rebellion. The 100,000 male soldiers of Jingyong and Yongzhou, while displaying the border to prevent the Wei State from taking advantage of the fire to loot, dispatched naval troops from the Yuan River to Wuxi to pay close attention to the movements of Yizhou. ”

An Zidao is not the Son of Taiping, he has made many northern expeditions since he succeeded to the throne, although he is not good at fighting, but he can also be said to be familiar with military affairs, and he keenly grasped the essence of the problem. Du Mingyu's opposition to Yangzhou is of course extremely harmful, but what really needs to be guarded against is Sun Guan of Yizhou, so Qiu Yuan is used to delay the battle situation in Yangzhou, and the real main force is to form an encirclement of Yizhou.

However, Yizhou has been easy to defend and difficult to attack since ancient times, and if it really wants to fight, the imperial court has no way to win. Surrounded but not fought, because he didn't want to persecute too much, let Sun Guan take risks!

Xu You suddenly asked, "What about the prince?" ”

"Prince......" Ning Xuangu smiled bitterly: "The prince is confined to the East Palace, and he is not allowed to meet with his subordinates without an edict. ”

Xu You was silent for a while, and sighed: "The lord is still wrong, when the country is in trouble, the prince is imprisoned, isn't it clearly telling the world that the father and son in the royal family of Chu are suspicious, and the monarch and the minister are separated?" Even if some people have no second mind, I'm afraid they will be forced to rebel! ”

"The Lord Cannot Listen to ......"

After all, it involves An Zidao, and Ning Xuangu is inconvenient to say more, but Xu You understands that most of the people in the court are people of insight, so they can naturally see the pros and cons, but the suspicion between the emperor and the crown prince is too deep, and even they can't persuade them.

Whether it was to save the crown prince or to save the Heavenly Master, Sun Guan had no choice but to go to Jinling in person to ask for guilt. Only in this way can the Lord be relieved and the government and the opposition feel at ease.

Xu You said sincerely: "Sun Guan is worthy of the name of the Heavenly Master, the chaos is chaotic, and the outcome is unknown, so he resolutely entered Jinling alone and blocked the mouth of those who tried to take the opportunity to kill the Heavenly Master. This trick is put to death and reborn, and people who are not wise and brave will never be able to do it! ”

As soon as Sun Guan entered Jinling, many people breathed a sigh of relief, at least it showed that Heavenly Master Dao had no objection, or that Sun Guan judged the situation and made a decision that was beneficial to everyone. The lord placed him in the palace of Shanyang, comforting him, and it is estimated that he still wants to use his prestige to quell the rebellion in Yangzhou! ”

Xu You had just woken up and chatted with Ning Xuangu so much, and before he had time to ask about the battle situation in Qiantang, perhaps deep down in his heart, he didn't want to know.

After all, that city is sprinkled with a little bit of bloody plum blossoms!

"It's noon, and I don't know I'm a little hungry. Autumn equinox, go prepare lunch, invite them all to come, I want to toast three glasses of wine to the real person...... Oh, by the way, I can drink, right? ”

Ning Xuangu smiled: "There are no taboos! ”

Out of the door, feeling the long-lost sunshine bathing on his body, Xu You squinted his eyes, and a small figure ran over from the courtyard door and threw himself into his arms.

"Little lady...... You, you're awake, ugly slave misses you so much......"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Xu You coughed a few times, hugged the ugly slave, scratched her nose with his fingers, and said, "Just you are naughty, Xiaolang has not been here these days, are you obedient?" ”

"The ugly slave is very well-behaved, Sister Shuang said that as long as the ugly slave is obedient, Xiaolang will definitely wake up, and Sister didn't lie to me!"

Xu You smiled and said: "Your Chinese is a thousand miles a day, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you finally called the name of the frost right!" ”

The word "frost" is a little awkward to pronounce, the ugly slave always called Cheng Niushuang before, and when he heard Xu You mention the previous troubles, he was a little embarrassed, and his little head was buried in his arms, and he didn't speak no matter how he teased.

This is the Fuqu Courtyard that belongs to Gu Yun in Wu County, which is not as big as Jingyuan, but it is exquisite. The small sanjin is still a little nervous to accommodate Xu You and dozens of other people, but living here is mainly for the sake of safety, which is convenient for defense and patrolling.

Lunch had already been prepared, and after a while, it was sent up like flowing water, Xu You invited Ning Xuangu to sit in the main seat, and he accompanied him, and then left and right were He Wei, Zuo Yan, Dark Yao, Mountain Sect, Frost, Winter Solstice and others, for the rest of their lives, they looked at each other and felt quite cordial.

"The first glass of wine, respect to God, this time Qiantang is in trouble, and he is not too partial to Du Mingyu's guy!"

Everyone laughed, Xu You got up, spilled the wine in the cup on the ground, stood behind him at the autumn equinox, hurriedly refilled, he raised it to his chest, and said: "The second glass of wine, to all of you, save me from the enemy camp regardless of life and death!" Do it first! ”

Everyone stood in unison, tilting their heads to the dryness of the wine. Xu You picked up the cup again and said to Ning Xuangu: "This cup of wine is a tribute to Ning Zhenren!" The real man has been saved in times of danger several times, and this kindness is difficult to repay the powder......"

Ning Xuangu smiled and picked up the wine glass, drinking with Xu You, easy-going and kind, ordinary people are no different from the old farmers in the field.

After three glasses of wine, Xu You sat down and stared at the crystal clear jade cup. This should be Gu Yun's treasured treasure, after pouring the wine, the whole body is translucent, like a mist floating, which is spectacular.

"Qiantang...... How's it going over there? ”

Xu You finally asked this sentence, everyone knew his mood, looked at each other and didn't dare to say much, or the winter solstice mustered up the courage to tell the things after Xu You fell into a coma.

It turned out that after Xu You vomited blood and left, Qiu Yuan led his troops to attack the city for three days, and on the last day, both sides were red-eyed, and the north gate was opened, almost breaking through the city, so he sent all the reserves in his hands in a desperate gamble. Seeing that victory was in sight, countless Heavenly Division troops suddenly came out from behind, and the Fuzhou soldiers were suddenly in chaos, and they were completely defeated after a little resistance.

More than 10,000 people died before and after the battle, and Qiu Yuan retreated to Xiling County in embarrassment, with only more than 2,000 remnants left under his command, which can be described as the annihilation of the entire army!

After finding out later, the Heavenly Master Army, which was like a divine soldier descending from the sky, actually only had more than 500 people, and before the Fuzhou soldiers arrived, they secretly went out of the city and ambushed in the cave group of Xiaoqu Mountain, waiting for the opportunity, and finally gave Qiu Yuan a fatal blow at the most appropriate time.

"Kokoji Mountain ......"

A wry smile overflowed from the corner of Xu You's lips, he finally understood why Liu Yan tried his best to get Xiaoqu Mountain, it turned out to be to use the unique terrain of Xiaoqu Mountain to hide soldiers, but he was conceited and wise, but he never saw through this layer, and now he can only realize it later, sitting here, in vain?

He Wei's face is not very good, as the mastermind, there are so many clues in advance, but he still fell into absolute passivity, and even his own master almost died at the hands of the enemy, which is really a great shame.

"On the night of the fall of Qiantang, I was very strange in my heart, how could the more than 1,000 soldiers and horses of the Heavenly Master Army come here quietly and suddenly? There are so many counties along the way, why don't you notice it? It wasn't until the Tibetan soldiers of Xiaoqu Mountain swarmed out, tied branches behind the tail of the fast horse, ran to raise sand to create the illusion of a large number of soldiers and horses, and completely defeated the Fuzhou soldiers, that I really understood that Liu Yan did not hesitate to buy Lu Hui with the priceless ancient jade, and wanted to force us to give up the Sajin Fang many times, not to occupy the upper reaches of the Biyou River, nor because there was anything unusual about the land in the Sajin Fang, but because the Sajin Fang occupied the northern entrance of Xiaoqu Mountain, and it was difficult to avoid people when transporting troops at night. Therefore, Liu Yan tried his best, and even wanted to buy the gold sprinkler with 20 million yuan, but later saw that we did not enter the oil and salt, and we really couldn't succeed, so he changed to transport troops at the southern foot of Xiaoqu Mountain......"

When Xu You heard He Wei say this, he immediately understood what he meant, and sighed: "Yin soldiers cross!" ”

"It's the Yin Soldiers transiting!"

He Wei's eyes were filled with a bit of teasing anger, and said: "Heavenly Master Dao is the best at these demagogic tricks, Liu Yan used the Yin soldier crossing technique to frighten the villagers of Jiuqiao Village at the southern foot of Xiaoqu Mountain to be uneasy, and he rested early at night, even if he heard any movement, he didn't dare to go out to snoop, who would have thought that it was the Heavenly Master Army who was secretly transporting troops and horses?" ”

The winter solstice was ashamed and almost wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, her pretty face was red directly to the root of her ears, and she knelt on the ground from the table, and said: "Xiaolang once ordered me to send someone to keep an eye on the crossing of the Yin soldiers, but I was careless and smashed the errand, so that there were all kinds of dangers in the future. The servant deserves death, please punish Xiaolang heavily! ”

Xu You helped her up with his own hand and said, "It's not your fault!" Du Sansheng also investigated the matter, but found no clues. What's more, with Liu Yan's means and the assistance of the wind gate, it is not something you can easily deal with. After all, we are careless, this matter is not a crime of one person, so naturally we can't talk about punishment! ”

The fingertips of the winter solstice sank into the palm of her hand, and the faint pain made her remind herself from time to time: if others make mistakes, they may be able to remedy them, but she is in charge of the intelligence agency, and once she makes a mistake, it will be a disaster! For Xiaolang's trust and kindness, from now on, no matter how hard and tired he is, he will never allow similar things to happen!

"Yes, Shichiro is right, it's not your mistake, it's mine!" He Wei has regained his composure, and of course he has made many mistakes in his legendary life. It's nothing, no one can always be exhausted, the past is gone, and the most important thing is to learn from the mistakes and make sure that you don't fall in the same place twice, and in the long run, the chances of making mistakes are getting smaller and smaller, so the actions will gradually become perfect.

Just tend, not reach!

"Liu Yan got Xiaoqushan, we thought he was taking revenge on Sajinfang; wanted to get the gold fang, but we thought that he had an old grudge and wanted to take revenge on Yan Shujian; When the weather was dry, he hoarded grain and grass on a large scale, and we thought that he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a windfall; Even Liu Yan and Du Mingyu had already discovered the secret song, but they still didn't expect that the Heavenly Master Army was about to rebel...... There are so many clues, so many flaws, but we are like blind, blind, thinking about it, there is only one explanation: we underestimated Liu Yan, and never regarded him as a real opponent! ”

He Wei picked up the wine jug, let the wine flow along the spout, wet his clothes, sat with his chest open, and said: "The opponent who looks down on us almost killed us!" Shichiro, we had a smooth ride some time ago, and we were too complacent! ”

Xu You, like He Wei, is good at finding problems from failures, but he is not entangled in the failures themselves. The world is like chess, and there is nothing to say about one bad move, at least it reminds them that they must not underestimate anyone in the future!

Pride always pays a price!

"Du Mingyu started this incident, I don't know how long he has been secretly planning, the grass snake gray line is all ambushes, and the manpower and material resources used are beyond imagination. Meng Xingchun has great powers with the magic of the Crouching Tiger Division, and Qiu Zhechong has many generals with the troops of the Governor's Mansion, but he has not been defeated by the enemy one after another? I don't think we have to be presumptuous, dozens of people in Jingyuan District, what should be done, what should not be done, we have done it, everyone works together, success, although happy, defeated, there is no need to be sad! ”

He Wei and Dong Solstice successively made reviews, which made the atmosphere in the lobby very heavy, Xu You's words were four or two, and even the elimination was beaten, which immediately mobilized everyone's emotions again. Then I stopped talking about business, clinked glasses with each other, drank heartily, and after being suppressed for so long, I was completely relaxed today.

After three rounds of drinking, Xu You excused himself to go to the toilet and went outside to breathe, and He Wei followed out and stood behind him. After coming over for a while, Xu You asked in a low voice, "Su Tang's body, have you found it?" ”
