The first year of the Great Treasure of the Han Kingdom, the third day of the fourth month! It's time of year when it starts to get warmer. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Great Han Kingdom, which had always been in Lingnan, suddenly launched a war on the whole line of war against the border defense line of Chu and Di.

Hengzhou, Guiyangjian, Daozhou and other places bore the brunt, and at the same time, many popular riots and Han troops suddenly appeared around Chudilang Prefecture and the prefectures in western Chu. Moreover, the army of the Great Han State, which had occupied Xuzhou in advance but was not yet known to the Wuping army, also suddenly appeared under the adjacent Shaozhou city wall.

With Chu Di now in power, the Wuping Festival made Zhou Xingfeng extremely shocked, and as this kind of thing happened in the states almost in a day, it was obviously a long-planned action. It was normal for warlords to compete with each other, but since the end of the Great Han Dynasty, the Great Han Kingdom, which was located in Lingnan, was said to have no ability to advance northward. If it weren't for Zhou Xingfeng not having figured out his clues, and the difficult road to Wuling, maybe Zhou Xingfeng would have intended to attack the Great Han Kingdom a long time ago.

The development of events not only far exceeded Zhou Xingfeng's expectations, but also made him anxious not about the siege of the Han army, but even encouraged the people to attack Langzhou. Rather, the Great Han State was only selective, with all kinds of material destruction and assassination of army generals and county officials everywhere. After the completion of the army of the Great Han Kingdom, it was not managed, and in the end, these prefectures and counties were all taken advantage of by the king of Xiangxi. Of course, the most difficult thing to guard against is the division between the common people and the government, and the people's attack on Langzhou is the best example.

This kind of divisive power is the main reason for the defeat and retreat of the Wuping army in Chudi, and the news transmission between states is too slow, and it is even more difficult to reach Langzhou. What annoyed Zhou Xingfeng the most was that they also stood in the city, but fled in all directions.

These states and counties without officials are greatly cheaper than Xiangxi Wang Guo Jing, and the autumn wind sweeps away the land like falling leaves, and he is really angry that he jumps like thunder.

What surprised Zhou Xingfeng the most was that it was said that the people of every place seemed to welcome the arrival of the great bandit Guo Jing. Spies from all over the country reported that Guo Jing sent many ordinary people and literati to bewitch and mobilize among the people in various places, the main means were small favors, and the other was to incite hatred and punish the injustices in various places, and the people flocked to stand for a while.

Of course, good things don't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles, Zhou Xingfeng believes that the news he has in his hands, and soon the news of the Han attack on the Wuping army will definitely spread quickly in the surrounding forces.

Syllable! There was a crisp sound, and a teacup shattered on the ground, and broken porcelain splattered everywhere.

Zhou Xingfeng looked at the people in the hall with a gloomy face, this hall rebuilt from the Ma Family Palace, is now the meeting hall of Zhou Xingfeng's Langzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and it is also the military hall of his Wuping military envoy.

After hearing a series of urgent reports, he had already dropped a few cups, and the piece of black on his forehead looked particularly hideous and a little distorted.

North Guo Queer and South Zhou Tuzi are recognized as two famous military competitions in the Central Plains. refers to Guo Wei of the Northern Han Kingdom, who was the founding emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty. The other naturally refers to the outstanding general of Chudi, who was deceitful when he was young, followed Ma Yin's son Ma Xixu to be born in a military academy, and became a general step by step.

Although Zhou Xingfeng did not become an emperor like Guo Wei, and even now he is still a festival envoy appointed by the Later Zhou, it does not affect his reputation with Guo Wei, and it is conceivable that his prestige in the Chu army and his scheming ability can be imagined. Since his brother Wang Jinkui was killed the year before last, the ten brothers who were famous together back then have no one to threaten them, and now Zhou Xingfeng is actually the emperor of Chu.

Who wouldn't want to be an emperor? Zhou Xingfeng also thought about it, and he thought about it more than once, but he knew that now was not the time when the Tang Dynasty was at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and the world was in chaos to see the force. There is no such capital around me now, and there is no such talent to assist me. Even if you want to, you can be the emperor, but it is estimated that it is an excuse for others to ask for yourself, and within a few days, your own territory will become someone else's racetrack.

After the Ma family withdrew from the Chu power, the resources and talents accumulated by Ma Yin for decades were tossed by his sons, and they were almost all emptied in the later period. It was just that some of the remaining old people took care of Ma Yin's knowledge, and they were either captured by the Southern Tang Dynasty and went to Jinling, or they ran away and went to Houzhou to find a way out.

Later, some of them were forcibly left in Chu by the warlords, and they began to be tossed away by Liu Yan, and some were also lost by Wang Jinkui, and now in their own hands, there is no one who was ranked in Chu that day!

Zhou Xingfeng also knew why in his heart, but his pride made him unable to think about it. To survive in Chudi, it is definitely necessary to have military support. Now among the generals of the Wuping Army in Chudi, the last thing he relies on is Zhang Wenbiao, who is the last remaining of his brothers, and the only one who relies on him for safety is Yang Shifan, who was born in a famous family.

Although he was born poor and had no education, Zhou Xingfeng has always been conceited and intelligent, so he subconsciously has some disgust with those conceited and intelligent literati. But it is this kind of heart, and the natural suspicion of people with super thinking ability, that makes Zhou Xingfeng have no people around him to give advice.

relied on his brother Zhang Wenbiao, but Zhou Xingfeng was obviously more wary of him. Although Chu now retains two-thirds of the territory of the Ma Yin period, Zhou Xingfeng knows that the Southern Han Kingdom and the Southern Tang Kingdom around him, although the military force is average, but they are eyeing themselves. Zhang Wenbiao volunteered to go to Hengzhou to protect the Southern Han Dynasty, and he understood that he was trying to avoid suspicion, and the provincial self was suspicious of him to establish his prestige in Langzhou. But Hengzhou has jurisdiction over both the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Southern Han Dynasty border defense, and I don't know if I care about him even more!

The place where the Southern Tang Dynasty and Hengzhou meet is a relatively remote and ungoverned place in the Southern Tang Dynasty, although there are soldiers stationed there, but the Southern Tang Dynasty has been rubbing with the Zhou State, how can it be able to take care of and forge ahead. Therefore, Zhang Wenbiao didn't have to defend much, but Tang Guo was afraid of Chudi's trouble.

However, Chenzhou, where the Southern Han Dynasty and Hengzhou meet, was the territory of Chu that day. It was first occupied by Bian Hao, and later the Southern Han snatched it in the hands of Bian Hao. Liu Yan, who took over, had the intention to recover, but the territory in the south never came back. Although it was difficult for the Southern Han to cross the Wuling Mountains to crusade against themselves, it is said that their lord is also a child now, so there is nothing to worry about, but Zhang Wenbiao let himself not have the scruples of the south, but let himself feel a little at ease and scruples.

However, Zhou Xingfeng never thought that someone would take advantage of the gap in his own development of people's livelihood to occupy Daozhou City and become independent. Hearing Zhang Wenbiao's report, saying that it was caused by a local tyrant and salt lord in Daozhou City gathering barbarians, Zhou Xingfeng also believed that it was a bandit at first.

But immediately afterwards, there was a report that the city of Shaozhou in Chuzhong was breached, and it is said that Miao Man, led by Xuzhou, made a move. This makes people strange, who is so desperate, he dares to make trouble in his own home, as long as he gathers Zhang Wenbiao in Hengzhou, he can make dumplings for him, he is really difficult to fly.

For Chudi, after the sons of the Ma family fought for power, the entire Chuxi was equivalent to being divided by the Peng family. This is a thorn in the hearts of everyone in power in Chudi in recent years, but no one can do anything. One is that the mountains and rivers in western Chu are far away, and the other is that it is wild and poisonous, which is not something that ordinary armies can easily take. That's why these people will acquiesce to the rule of the Peng family, but now they can't imagine that something will happen because of this.

Zhou Xingfeng didn't believe that this was a coincidence, and the so-called Miao Man made trouble in the later period of the Ma family's rule. At that time, it was launched by the ancestors of the Peng family, and now the power of the Peng family is the overlord of Chuxi, there is no need to make such a fuss! Peng Shiwei, the father of the two toasts, is still serving in the Tang Kingdom, does he want to gather his disciples and soldiers as the internal response of the Tang State to compete for his own territory?

Zhou Xingfeng sent a large number of spies, but he still calmly waited for the results. Sure enough, following the five reports a day, the barbarians of several ethnic groups in Chuxi joined forces with an emerging force and took the initiative to attack various prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Chuxi, and the state capitals in various places asked for help. This operation seems to have nothing to do with the Peng family, whether it has anything to do with it or not, Zhou Xingfeng also sent someone to contact the Peng family.

At the beginning of the year, Yang Shifan returned to Langzhou from Chuxi to report that the city of Chuxi was occupied by a green-clothed army led by a bandit named Guo Jing, who claimed to be the king of Xiangxi. Zhou Xingfeng thought at the time, anyway, there are Peng Shiwei's brother and son Peng Yunlin's brother in charge, he Guo Jing wants to compete with the Peng family for the territory of dog eat dog, and he can't insert anything, not to mention that if the Peng family is uncomfortable, isn't he more happy? actually didn't care about Yang Shifan's report.

Later, seeing that the Peng family did not have a conflict with the Green Army, Zhou Xingfeng also thought about it, why did the Peng family brothers not have an aversion to this Green Army? Didn't send barbarians to recruit and suppress? Later, according to Yang Shifan's recollection of what he saw and heard in Chuxi, it was this bandit named Guo Jing, although he was arrogantly called the king of Xiangxi, but he changed the life of the barbarians and gave a lot of benefits to the barbarians of all ethnic groups.

Zhou Xingfeng naturally knew the benefits of winning over the barbarians, one could prevent Shu from entering Chu, and the other could make Gao Laizi's family look at Chu and sigh, and of course it also prevented Qi from crossing the mountains and mountains. knows that there are many benefits, but he really doesn't have so much capital to toss now.

A green-clothed army that appeared out of nowhere, a king of Xiangxi who had never heard of it, and an unknown smuggler of salt, actually wanted to get a piece of the pie on his own territory? Obviously, they had already infiltrated the Daozhou forces and sent people to occupy Xuzhou. Otherwise, Daozhou City would not have been lost so easily, and they also launched an attack on Shaozhou through Xuzhou.

In any case, in the power of Chuxi, the Peng family did not interfere in these things under their noses, which was inseparable from the Peng family. It's good that I didn't go to purge you barbarians. Being in the sphere of influence under his control, he is really far away, and he is not afraid of tigers, Zhou Xingfeng is really angry.

"Let's talk about what to do! After receiving these news, I don't know what the battle situation is, and it is estimated that the western state capital does not have good city wall protection, and it is estimated that it has already fallen. Let's talk about how we can recover and clean them up! There is also no new reply to the situation in the south of the Hengzhou Assassin, they all said that they have divided their troops to support the cities, and they are asking a certain family to send troops to support them, so you can express your opinions!" Zhou Xingfeng slowly calmed down and looked at everyone quietly.

"The governor of the capital, his subordinates think that when they send troops to the Western Barbarians to conquer the ministry, they will order Hengzhou to assassinate Shi Zhang Wen to suppress Daozhou!" Seeing that no one squeaked, Zhou Xingfeng's subordinate general Yan Bo said something that was not nutritious, and stood there seriously.

If it was someone else, Zhou Xingfeng might have slapped him, but although this Yan Bo was not a powerful general, he had not made any big mistakes. The most important thing is that he knows how to warm himself up, and he is the cousin of his wife Yan's mother's family.

Zhou Xingfeng closed his eyes gently, and he was so angry that he wanted to pull these people out and beat them hard, but he didn't show it on his face, he was employing people! A bunch of shuckles on dog days, these people still can't fart as always.

"Pan Song, the governor of Zhitan Prefecture, immediately led 30,000 elite soldiers, accelerated the action from the water and land collection, and immediately set off for Shaozhou, and ,,,,,,!"

Chu land is surging!

Madame Blossom, such a beautiful name, a person who smells so much! A man who had to be heavily colored in history!

Historically, there were no less than three people named Madame Hua Rui, and they were all in the decades from the late Tang Dynasty to the early Song Dynasty. At the beginning of this chaotic era, Shuzhong established the historical former Shu state in the hands of Wang Jian, who was arguably one of the most famous warlords in the late Tang Dynasty.

At the time of the storm, Wang Jian, who was scolded as the eighth king of thieves, finally became the boss of a feudal town, and even took advantage of the chaos in the world to establish himself as the king. In the early years, Wang Jian still knew how to attract a large number of talents from the former Tang Dynasty, and Shuzhong quickly developed. But after having a little achievement, he indulged in pleasure, especially in his later years, he searched for beauties.

In his later years, Wang Jianyou's concubine Xu was deeply favored and praised as Mrs. Hua Rui. Moreover, the Xu family has a sister and is generally beautiful, and later the Xu sisters were favored by Wang Jian, the king of Shu.

Concubine Da Xu gave birth to a son Wang Yan for Wang Jian, whose real name is Wang Zongyan. This son is the eleventh of the brothers and is the youngest son of Wang Jian. Because of his mother and aunt, he was deeply loved by Wang Jian, and he was better than his ten brothers, Wang Yan was made the crown prince, and he succeeded to the throne smoothly after Wang Jian's death.

Later, the young Wang Yan was instigated by the people around him, and he couldn't know how to govern at all, so he usually had a lot of fun with Concubine Xu, and even openly sold official porridge, which soon lost the popularity that Wang Jian had accumulated for decades. Not only did it not form a system in Shu China, but it was then destroyed by the Central Plains neighbor Houtang Zhuangzong. Naturally, Wang Yan has left a great infamy in history, and the big and small concubines Xu are also criticized.

And the other lady of Hua Rui mentioned here is none other than Meng Chang, the Chinese lord of Shu at the end of the fifth dynasty! Later, Mrs. Hua Rui, who was accepted into the palace by Zhao Kuangyin, because Tongjian was written by Song officials, so everyone covered up a lot of things, which naturally concealed Zhao Kuangyin's purpose of killing Meng Chang and the initial capture of Shuzhong.

According to historical records, Mrs. Hua Rui is usually good at composing poetry, and she has been very smart since she was a child. The biography says that she has been able to write since she was a child, and she is especially good at palace words when she grows up. It is said that the surname is Xu, I don't know if it is the descendants attached to Wang Jian's Xu, but the original surname is Fei.

"The flowers are not enough to imitate their color, and the stamens are not good for their appearance!" This is Mrs. Xu's stamen, who was named Concubine Hui by Meng Chang, can be imagined by future generations in later books, and is used by the world to describe the beauty of Mrs. Xu's stamen. Regarding his beauty, there are also things such as "When the cherries are ripe in March, the insiders look at the red branches." Turn around and ask for the golden bullet, hide around the tree and fight the birds", this is a vivid poem description.

The description of the world and most of the descriptions that prevailed in later generations is that she left more than 100 "Lady Blossom Palace Words" to posterity, for a woman born in this special era, such a talented is an unimaginable miracle. Not to mention that women in this era have no opportunity to learn at all, most people are still just tools, let alone have the ability to learn.

Later generations of scholars and experts (real experts, not those so-called experts who spit freely on the Internet, such as Tan Qixiang, etc.) have studied and reliable estimates, at least more than 90 of them are from her, which shows that this woman is indeed versatile and beautiful. It is conceivable that such a big beauty and a talented woman are not attractive!

Otherwise, when it came to Zhao and Song, in the hands of the first generation of emperor Zhao Kuangyin, he would not have tried to poison his political rival Meng Chang in order to get Mrs. Hua Rui, and then occupy Madame Hua Rui.

Although later historians unanimously believe that Meng Chang's death and injustice, politics, personality and the particularity of the times are only the main reasons, but the beauty and intelligence of Madame Hua Rui are obviously the trigger, that is, the fuse of the words commonly used in later generations. In this era, I have to say something ugly to meet the situation, women are woe!

If Meng Chang hadn't had the most beautiful woman of Madame Hua Rui's era, maybe he would have died as free as Liu Gang, who was also escorted to Bianjing, or would have enjoyed ordinary treatment with the Qian family in the Great Song Dynasty later. It won't be the same as Li Yu's unlucky bastard, because Li Yu was stared at by the emperor after a small week, and occasionally scholars and literati were angry and complained, so they naturally took the opportunity to be poisoned, which shows that beauty is a dangerous product in any era.

When Liu Jixing is quiet in the dead of night, he will occasionally make a small pad print, a few famous beauties in later generations in this era. But since I met those beauties in Liu Sheng's palace, I have no interest in eating, let alone women. sent beautiful women out of the palace for a while, and won a good reputation, Liu Jixing didn't mind putting on a show every day.

Later, after meeting Wang Yu and a few others, I realized that the aesthetics of my time were simply separated in this era. Fortunately, he can still choose with his identity, otherwise it is estimated that Liu Jixing himself will have to think about the beauties of the future generations every night, and find Miss Wu to solve it.

So in private, Liu Jixing has always believed that Mrs. Hua Rui will be like the aesthetic beauties of this era, and she is naturally known for her fat and wealthy. Although she is also a famous beauty in history, and even a rare talented woman, Liu Jixing is not very interested in her. But later, the secret party successfully broke into the Shu Inner Palace, and after seeing the portrait of Mrs. Hua Rui sent by the secret party, Liu Jixing changed his mind.

At this time, Liu Jixing was in the palace looking at the portrait of Mrs. Hua Rui hanging on it. There was news of the battle ahead, and the situation was very good. The army of the Great Han State tightly suppressed Zhang Wenbiao, and gradually encroached on the territory near Hengzhou and the prefectures and counties near Yongzhou. The most important thing is that the Meichuan capital led by He Xiaoyao, after occupying Daozhou City, successfully let the naval army of the Great Han State enter the Xiangshui waterway of Chudi.

In the entire Chuxi region, more than half of the actual control area of his own army has been controlled, although the army of the Great Han State does not occupy the prefecture and county on the surface, but in fact, it has been taken over by Guo Jing, the bandit leader. Looking at the map on the wall, Liu Jixing was really happy. I don't know why, so I took out the portrait of Madame Blossom.

Because although Mrs. Hua Rui in the portrait also looks a little plump, she is indeed quite beautiful, and she is a big beauty in the standards of later generations! Maybe the aesthetics of Shu and Jiangnan at that time were already different and different! The aesthetics of the people have also changed with the spread of the palace.

Liu Jixing also talked about this with Li Congjia (Li Yu), the special envoy of the Southern Tang Dynasty, who had lived in the Xingwang Mansion for a period of time, of course, the main reason was that Wu Sihu, the head of the spies, suddenly discovered a secret. That is Li Congjia's wife Zhou Ehuang, who actually dressed up as a man and followed Li Congjia's team.

Liu Jixing thought of the people he saw, and vaguely felt that Zhou Ehuang had left a little impression on himself, that is, that round face was born like a man, and the whole person was not fat! I don't know what the aesthetics of the people in the Tang Kingdom are like, Liu Jixing thought in his heart, this era should be similar to the end of the Tang Dynasty.

Liu Jixing didn't care about the purpose of Zhou Ehuang to make up as a man, I don't know if she looks like that, or if she really called a master to put on makeup. I only know that my pretense at the banquet will definitely attract the attention of her liking the personality of the talented man.

Sure enough, the information fed back by the secret party later made Liu Jixing laugh. It turned out that after Zhou Ehuang went back, he chatted with Li Congjia and said that Liu Jixing was talented, and Li Congjia was actually jealous.

Later, Liu Jixing knew that Emperor Zhou E was as beautiful as the full moon, which was the most obvious standard of beauty in this era. As for the result of Li Congjia's jealousy, it naturally made Zhou Ehuang angry, and Li Congjia had to coax her to be happy again.

When Liu Jixing talked to him about women later, Li Congjia couldn't help but leak words, saying that Liu Jixing's own aesthetics were different from this era, which meant that the women around Liu Jixing were too ugly, and Liu Jixing was quite speechless, and he had to pretend to be nothing.

Liu Jixing wanted to kick him twice, but he was pitiful when he thought about it, so he let him go with a smile. Liu Jixing learned from the side that sure enough, the Jiangnan area inherited the habits of the Tang Dynasty and still admired the beauty of fat women. As for why Zhou Ehuang's figure is like that, Li Congjia said that Zhou Ehuang is weak, but that big pie face is really a sign of the beauty of the times. Liu Jixing has no temper, so he is naturally speechless, I don't know whether to pity him or himself.

However, although there was also a royal family in Shuzhong at the end of the Tang Dynasty, it can be said that a large number of palace maids and beauties were brought with them, and many people stayed in Shuzhong. There is naturally no problem with the human race, and it will be much better than people in other places.

However, perhaps due to the continuous conquest of many years, the population in most places is sparse, and most people cannot keep up with nutrition. It gradually affected the aesthetics of the local people, and with the successive establishment of the division of the Shu Kingdom, as well as the influence of the surrounding ethnic minorities on the people of the Shu Kingdom, most people gradually took health as beauty. It also made the Shu Kingdom, although it inherited the last Tang Dynasty culture, actually made everyone's aesthetics of women gradually return to the era before the Tang Dynasty, and gradually approached the aesthetics of later generations.

Among the current Central Plains countries, Shuzhong is the best country adhering to the Tang Dynasty culture, and the former Shu and Hou Shu have the most acceptance of the remnants and cultural people of the Tang Dynasty. This point is far from being comparable to the Southern Tang Kingdom, which moved south from the pretentious scholar clan.

The people of the secret party didn't know what method they used, not only did they find someone to draw the portrait of Mrs. Hua Rui, but also the portrait in Liu Jixing's hand was already relatively high! Liu Jixing, a master who thinks he is good at sketching, is a little amazed!

Liu Jixing is not obsessed with Mrs. Hua Rui, nor is he worried that the people of the secret party will fool himself with a portrait that does not look like herself. In fact, if he captures most of Chu and forces Chu to be suppressed, it will naturally only be a matter of time before Shuzhong is still nominally an ally with himself!

But the general trend of the world is like this, if she intends to go north, Mrs. Hua Rui will come to Xingwangfu sooner or later, and it is necessary for her to have a good understanding of why Meng Chang has surrendered after she was captured in Shuzhong, and she will be killed, who accounts for such a large proportion.

Liu Jixing is becoming more and more confident in his intelligence agency, otherwise how can he be worthy of this famous celebrity in history!

Of course, the premise is that it's rare to have half a day of leisure!
