Chapter Thirty-Seven: In late spring and March, the grass grows and the warbler flies
"It's coming! Look, it's coming, it's really coming! ”
"What does it look like? Is it really like the evil ghost painted in the temple, with fangs like a plow, eyes like lamps, a bloody mouth, and sticky salivation? ”
"Fuck your shit! As you say, is it still a person? I have heard that Xu Youchang is as beautiful as a woman, but every day he has to find someone to disembowel and disembowel, so as to dig people's hearts for fun. ”
"It's not for fun, it's for eating! It is said that eating people's hearts can protect the appearance of immortality......"
"Eat...... Cannibalism? ”
"Only for beautiful women, right? As far as you look disgusted by the Lord of Yama, I'm afraid that eating you will become more and more ugly......"
The Qingzhou soldiers guarding outside the camp gate looked at the dust raised in the distance and couldn't help but whisper about Xu You. Qingxu has never been separated, as a brother unit that breaks bones and tendons, Qingzhou soldiers know the combat power of the Xuzhou army, to tell the truth, if they really fight, the two sides are also five or five, but the Xuzhou army of five or five was defeated by the Cuiyu army in a battle, and there was no chance to fight back, and Xu You, who was a military commander, suddenly became a monster in the mouth of the Qingzhou soldiers.
When they got closer, almost everyone gasped, and the few who just talked about Xu You's eating people's hearts were even more dumbfounded. Xu You was wearing the improved Cuiyu military uniform, which looked neat and heroic, but the gentleness between his eyebrows and eyes made people feel amiable.
Bu Tian greeted him, clasped his fists and saluted, and said: "I have heard the name of General Zhengbei for a long time, and when I see it today, it is enough to comfort my life!" ”
Xu You turned over and dismounted, let out a hearty laugh, pulled Bu Tian's arm without seeing it, and said: "In front of the champion general, how can You He De dare to be called a general?" If Bu Gong doesn't dislike it, just call it by name! ”
He really came alone, and he didn't even bring the little grandmaster who is known to the world, this courage and freedom can't help but make Bu Tianfu feel good, and said with a smile: "Then you don't want Bu Gong to be long and short, listen to the cold." How old am I to you, so I dare to call Brother Xu. ”
"Brother Bu's words are exactly what I want!"
"Please!"
"Please!"
After entering the camp, setting up boundaries everywhere, setting up barriers, rejecting horses with guns and wagons, and digging trenches and setting up platforms, all of which were deeply in line with the gist of the art of war, Xu You was full of praise, and almost every sentence touched the itch of Bu Tian. If the skill of chatting is also divided into nine grades, Xu You is undoubtedly the first grade.
In just a few dozen steps, they entered the big tent of the Chinese army, and the two of them knew each other like old friends who had not seen each other for many years, and they were stunned by each other's affection. The guest and the host sat down, and without waiting for Bu Tian to make a sound, someone stood up and made a difficulty, saying: "Xu You, you have made trouble from thieves and caused trouble in Jianghuai, can you be guilty?" ”
Xu You Zhengse said: "An Xiuming killed his father and usurped his position, he was extremely vicious, although he was said to be a long-term heir, he was less vicious, unkind and unfilial, contrary to the principles of heaven, he could not stop traveling, he was indulgent, he cut off the innocent, he neglected women, his siblings were insignificant, he was filthy and beastly, and he was guilty of more than 3,000 crimes. ”
"This ......"
The man was speechless and retreated in silence.
Another person came out and said, "Those who boast are only good at talking!" Xu You, you will lead thousands of old and weak soldiers, leading more than 10,000 new soldiers, the army is not trained, the food is not daylong, and you dare to enter our army alone, but there is no one in Qingzhou? ”
"Qingzhou has been a lot of heroes since ancient times, and I have always admired it, but when I heard the general's question today, I couldn't help but feel suspicious. Could it be that according to the general, you need to lead 100,000 people, strong soldiers and horses, and then dare to enter the camp and talk to the kings? I'm afraid that at that time, the two forces of fighters are not below, but generals! ”
This person knew that he had lost his words, his face was full of shame, and he could not answer.
Someone else sneered and said: "The general may boast of being bold and skipping others, but he doesn't know anything about military strategy." Thinking of the hundreds of thousands of armored soldiers of the Chinese army, the ministers are like rain, and the good generals are like clouds, and now the dragon is looking at the tiger, looking at the eight dimensions, with the soldiers of Yangzhou and Jingzhou, there are only 50,000 people who can fight, and they hit the stone with eggs, and the defeat is just in the moment. If you descend as soon as possible, my military commander will be gracious, or you may be able to leave a way for you to live, if you are stubborn, I am afraid of the Yixing Xu family, and I don't know if there is no heir! ”
"Lang Jun's words are wrong!"
Hearing his disrespectful words, Xu You was not annoyed, his long body was jade, and he carried Xu Xing, and said: "Although the Chinese army is hundreds of thousands, but the legacy of the first emperor for a long time, and he also knows etiquette, righteousness and shame, and the only people who really belong to the rebels are more than 10,000 rats who want to be lucky." Therefore, the Yangzhou army was in the month of Keguazhou and Xiajingkou, and Xiao Yushu was trapped in Liangshan Prefecture; The Jingzhou army also conquered Jiangning and occupied Xinting, defeated Shen Du in Bailuzhou, and approached Stone City. The east and west roads are invincible, and the minds of the people in Taicheng have changed, and the absconders have blocked the river, lest they return to the righteous army late and end up in rebellion. If Lang Jun knows the military strategy, please tell me, since the Han and Wei dynasties, have you ever seen such a dragon and a tiger, such a side-by-side view of the eight dimensions? ”
This man was stunned for a long time, and sighed: "I lost my words, the general is not strange!" After he had finished speaking and retreated to the crowd, he refused to speak any more.
Some people were still unconvinced, and asked: "You say that you are not in the right position today, but you only have empty mouths and white teeth, and there is no evidence at all, how can you win the trust of others?" My military commander was ordered by the imperial court and was responsible for guarding the border and reassuring the people, and you plundered the state capital and went north to invade the border, even if you have the tongue of Su Qin and Zhang Yi, you will not be able to escape the blame. Now I see that you are alone in the camp, you still have the courage, and do not take your life, go back to prepare troops and horses, choose a decisive battle, and see how my Qingzhou Rui soldiers break your Cuiyu army! ”
Xu You stood still, bowed down in the south, looked solemn, and then took out the blood edict from his arms, showed everyone, and said in a deep voice: "This is the blood edict that the first emperor gave me with his own hands when he was in danger. The edict clearly stated that the prince conspired against the rebellion, and asked all vassal kings to work together to fight against the rebels and thieves, so as to protect the country. This Lang Jun, don't you know that this edict can be a token? ”
Bu Tiandeng, who had been sitting still and calmly examining Xu You's tongue and fighting against the crowd, changed color, stood up Teng, and even knocked the case to the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Submit it...... Present! ”
A henchman guard had already stepped forward to take the edict, picked up the table, and spread it out. Bu Tian is literate and literate, and has received the grace of An Zidao's knowledge, so he naturally recognizes his handwriting, the words are messy, and it can be seen that the broken finger is already in great danger when writing, but the structure of the pen is not angry and mighty, and others can't imitate it, and it is indeed the first emperor.
"Ding Lin, come and see!"
Bu Tianyou was afraid that he would be mistaken, so he asked Ding Lin, who was the best at calligraphy and often performed for him, to identify him. Ding Lin carefully looked at the time of the half-pillar incense, and ordered someone to take the different decrees of An Zidao and An Xiuming, compared the seal of the jade seal, and then raised his head with tears on his face, and said: "Military commander, this is the edict of the first emperor!" You see, this heirloom jade seal is the same, but the seal used by the holy decree today is not quite right......"
Liang Jieyi also gathered around to look at it when he heard this, and finally nodded in agreement, and said: "What Ding Zhen said is very true, this is really the blood edict of the first emperor. In contrast, it seems that the jade seal of the country has not been obtained today. "He talks about things, but he can be regarded as a glorious moon.
Bu Tianhu wept, grief, bent down to Xu You and wanted to kneel, Xu You hurriedly held on, Bu Tiandao: "At first glance, I knew that An Xiu was guilty, and his brother had lost his sense of proportion, and it was inconvenient to talk to my brother today, please turn around first, and make an appointment to get drunk another day!" ”
Xu You comforted two sentences, clasped his fists at the tent, and sprinkled away. He went to the meeting alone, his eloquence was unhindered, he was not angry when he heard the rumors, he was not frightened when he was threatened, he was graceful and swaying freely, and this kind of world-famous demeanor that was rarely seen in the north left a deep impression on everyone, and undoubtedly alleviated the hostility of the other side, and laid a solid foundation for the next step of peace talks.
Back in the army, Zuo Yan saw that Xu You was safe and sound, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered the ambush soldiers who were ambushed in the mountains around the Qingzhou Army to quietly retreat, and reprimanded others, knelt on his knees, and admonished bitterly: "Lang Jun, you must not take risks like this again in the future!" If Bu Tian turns his face and is ruthless, even if our army rushes in while he is unprepared, Lang Jun's safety cannot be guaranteed, if there is a mistake, how can I explain it to everyone? ”
Since the expedition, Zuo Yan has always been called a military commander, and this time it was changed to the old name of Ming Yushan, with good intentions, Xu You sighed: "Don't worry, only this once, not an example." Xuzhou lost 8,000 dead and 2,000 wounded in the First Battle, and the casualties were too great. Whether it is the Xuzhou soldiers or the Qingzhou soldiers, they are all good war divisions cultivated by the imperial court over the past hundred years, and their duty and task is to fight with Suo Lu, not to die in the struggle for the throne of the princes. So I took a little risk, I can die less, it is a blessing for Dachu, a blessing for the Han people, and a blessing for the world! ”
However, when Xu You was about to strike while the iron was hot and make further contact with Bu Tian, Guo Mian sent someone to send an urgent letter from Jiangning, and just handed over the letter sewn with dense wax to Xu You, and the messenger fainted directly.
After opening the letter, Xu You's face didn't see any change, his palm rubbed lightly, the letter paper turned into powder and floated away, he was silent for a moment, and said, "Take pen and ink!" ”
Qingming immediately took the pen and ink, flattened the paper by He, Xu Youwen did not add points, waved the pen, and wrote: The general bravely crowned the three armies, only for the world, abandon the small ambition of the bird, Mu Honghu to soar! In the past, due to the change of opportunity, he encountered the Ming Lord, made meritorious deeds, and begged for capture in the north. Zhu Lunhua hub, embracing thousands of miles, how strong!
However, the king sold himself to the thief and groveled, not for his sake, but because he could not judge himself internally, and he was rumored to be outside, so that's it. Today, Jiangxia forgives the guilt and blame, abandons the flaws and hires, pushes the heart in the world, and reverses the side of all things...... Lost and returned, to the philosophy is with, not far away, the precedent is high......
Heroes and famous generals, geese in an orderly manner, wearing purple and yellow, praising the strategy of the drapery, taking advantage of the construction festival, serving the task of the frontier, and punishing horses to swear, pass on to the descendants. The general is alone and borrows his life, and would rather not mourn!
……
In the late spring of March, the grass grows in the south of the Yangtze River, the peanut trees are mixed, the warblers fly wildly, see the flag of the old country, feel that Ping was born in the day, the general pine and cypress are not cut, the relatives live in peace, the high platform is not tilted, and the concubine is still there; Yoyo heart, how can it be said! His Royal Highness Linchuan of the Yangzhou Army, Mingde Mao, Rong Zi, hanging the people and Huaishui, cutting down the crime of Qingxu, if he does not change, Fang Si said. Talk about the cloth in your arms, and you will be detailed.
Xu You paused.
Based on the persuasion text of "The Book with Uncle Chen", the persuasion text is full of emotion, singing and harmonizing, the words of the heart, the meaning of crying blood, the reasoning is upright, the situation is euphemistic, He Wei is standing on the left side of the case, and when Xu You finishes writing, he has a clear view, and he can't help but high-five and praise: "If Bu Tian still has people's hearts, watching this article will bear Jing to come and surrender!" ”
Xu You asked Cang to personally send this letter to the Qingzhou army camp and handed it over to Bu Tian, and ordered Zuo Yan to temporarily act as the commander of the army, commanding the Cuiyu army, He Wei, Qi Xiao, Tan Zhuo and other Sasuke, Wang Shibi supervised, and fully took over the negotiation with Bu Tian. If he is willing to surrender, everything is easy to discuss, if he wants to fight, just start fighting, everyone performs their duties, even if they do not win, at least they can maintain the current situation.
Then Xu You only brought Qingming and Zhu Wuchen, the three little masters did their best, sleepless, six hundred miles a day and night, first took a boat along the water and ditch to Guazhou, and even didn't have time to meet the king of Linchuan, took the land route to avoid Liangshan Prefecture, from Guabu to Changlu and then to Liuhe Mountain, looking for a boat to cross the Yangtze River, go ashore in Sanshan, and go straight to Jiangning.
Entering the city in the starry night, he found Guo Mian's foothold according to the pre-agreed mark, Guo Mian was older than when Jiangling broke up, his cheeks were fleshless, his complexion was pale, like a wind candle in his last years, and he saw that his life was not long, but his dim eyes revealed an abnormal bright light, looking at Xu You, who was not far away, and walked to Xu You, and said quietly: "King Jiangxia is dead!" ”
("The Book with Uncle Chen" is known as one of the best prose texts of the Six Dynasties, and as a persuasion text, the Ming Dynasty writer Zhang Pu said that the most vocal one, and General Chen's uncle!) )
