Chapter 120, the handbook of the Blood Alliance
"Do you still know this king?"
Faced with Zhao Zhe's inquiry.
Zhang Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then tried to find information about this Zhao Zhe in his mind.
It's just a pity that his memories of this Zhang Mingheng at this time have completely disappeared, and there is no trace to be found.
He had no choice but to shake his head, bow down and say sincerely: "Back to Your Highness, Ming Heng has suffered a major disaster, lost some memories, and I don't remember many things in the past. ”
"Amnesia?" Zhao Zhe was also stunned for a moment.
Zhao Hanyan next to him explained: "Your Highness, on the day of the marriage between the horse and Gao Ping, the lightning and thunder roared, and the horse was unfortunately struck by lightning on the way back to the room, and he was dizzy for a long time. ”
"And such wonders?" Zhao Zhe showed a look of surprise, and then laughed: "That's a good omen, so that you will be blessed by misfortune." Anyway, I don't remember the past, so when is the bright moon and "Yuan Xi" and other terms really from you? ”
"How did Your Highness find out?" Zhang Xiang asked strangely.
Zhao Zhe smiled: "The rare nouns here will be spread all over the world, and they will be respected and studied by my Nanchuxia readers." Of course, it will also be passed into the palace through the imperial court, and the father has long known, seeing that this term is actually from the hand of Ming Heng, the father also can't believe it, so this time the king went south, and the father also told the king to see if it was a rumor. ”
Zhao Zhe continued: "You are full of poetry and books, you have already been full of economy, and it is not surprising that you have such a talent when you return to normal, in this way, this king is also happy for the emperor's sister, and he has a good husband, if the father knows that Ming Heng is back to the beginning, he will definitely be happy." ”
"Father Xie is worried." Zhang Xiang hurriedly thanked him.
Zhao Zhe said: "This king can be named the crown prince, there is a credit for your father General Zhang's strong recommendation, this king is grateful in his heart, in the past, he often visited General Zhang, and Ming Heng had several encounters in the General's Mansion, but at that time you didn't like to contact people, so although we met at that time, we just didn't talk." ”
Zhang Xiang showed an embarrassed smile: "Ming Heng really doesn't remember these past events, if there is a place to offend His Highness, I hope His Highness will forgive him." ”
"Ha..."Zhao Zhe waved his hand: "I only thought you were boring at that time, and I actually didn't like it in my heart, and because of many rumors about your unpleasant words, I never put it in my heart, and those who don't know are not guilty!" What are you guilty of? Now you are given marriage by your father, married with the royal sister, married as a husband and wife, is my royal princess concubine, and with such a talent, it is my royal honor, you are a great achievement, if his father summons you into Beijing one day, he will definitely appreciate it. ”
From the meeting to the present, this Zhao Zhe is full of beautiful words, which makes Zhang Xiang, a thick-skinned person, really unbearable.
couldn't help but start to doubt Zhao Hanyan's evaluation of him.
This prince doesn't look like a chicken intestine with a belly, domineering and bullying the lord?
Is it Zhao Hanyan's unilateral hatred for him? That's why you slander him so much?
Anyway, after just a while, this prince gave him a pretty good impression.
His speech and demeanor match his identity, with everyone's demeanor, clear organization, clear thinking, and wisdom to match his identity.
Well... However, you can't just look at the surface when you look at people, this is the basic principle of his understanding.
Zhao Hanyan grew up in the palace with this prince since he was a child, and the two are half a year apart, and their understanding of him must be higher than his.
So you have to contact to judge.
At this time, Zhang Xiang and his wife accompanied the prince to visit the Horse Mansion, and then chatted about some homely things, and by the way, they talked about the grain and military affairs of the south.
Generally speaking, these are important tasks of the military aircraft, and they cannot be started with unrelated people.
It's just that this prince is also an unrestrained person, so he casually smoked at Zhang Xiang and Zhao Han.
The imperial court sent grain and grass to supervise the transportation of military grain to various parts of Southern Chu, and he and Dou Qi, the head of the household department, were the supervisors of Jiangnan East Road and Liangzhejiang Road, he came to Pingzhou, and Dou Qi went to Linzhou.
Of course, coming to Jiangnan East Road was also recommended by him and volunteered, and the emperor asked him to come here because it was also a cultivation.
The southern army grain was the heavy supply of the Southern Chu army in the later stage, and it could not be transported to the front line in the early stage of the war, which was also to avoid the concentration of grain and grass from being infiltrated by the enemy's spies.
Therefore, the grain and grass in the south of the Yangtze River and the Xichuan Road in the southwest will not be transported until around May, that is, after the start of the war.
During this period of time, as a superintendent, I must ensure that the grain and grass in the south of the Yangtze River are foolproof.
That is to say, this prince Zhao Zhe will stay in Pingzhou at least until about May.
According to his information, the imperial army has now been sent to Liangzhou in two ways, and plans to garrison Xuanzhou Mansion as a reserve army all the way before April, and the vanguard army will cross Chongguan and garrison outside Liangzhou City, and the vanguard army will be led by Zhang Chi, the left general under Wenbo's account.
The Northern Liao army has long been stationed in Liangzhou City with 70,000 troops on standby, 30,000 iron cavalry to meet Chongguan, and Liangzhou is guarded by Yelu Baobao, the commander of the Northern Liao East Route Army, waiting for the arrival of the Southern Chu army.
It's going to be a hard-fought battle to capture the city.
It's just that what the Southern Chu court didn't expect was that the defense line that Zhang Jian, the general of Zhenbei, had built in Liangzhou for 17 years to resist the Northern Liao, would now become the defense line used by the Northern Liao to resist the Southern Chu.
For the past 17 years, the Northern Liao has been dealing with Zhang Jian, and the Northern Liao military god Yelu Jilu has already studied this set of defense lines in the friction war with Zhang Jian for many years.
This set of defense line is not a building defense line, but a deployment defense line, which is a defensive line that will only be used in the scene of a big war, flexible and changeable, and can be changed arbitrarily according to various advantages and disadvantages, offensive and defensive, also known as the Beilu defense line, which is a unique anti-Liao tactic during the command of the Beilu Army under the command of Zhang Jian.
With years of experience in friction with Zhang Jian, Yelu Jilu knew the strength of this set of defense lines, so two years ago, after capturing Liangzhou, Yelu Jilu quickly applied this set of tactics to the Northern Liao Army.
And Southern Chu's familiarity with this set of defense lines is only best known to the dead Zhang Jian, and there are few people in the current Southern Chu Imperial Court who understand this set of defense lines.
At six o'clock, after having dinner in the Horse Mansion, Zhao Zhe said goodbye to the two couples and left.
Before leaving, he also smiled at Zhao Hanyan: "Imperial sister, the coming day is long, this king will stay in Pingzhou for a while, and he will come back to the door in the future." ”
In this regard, Zhao Hanyan gave a salute: "It is an extreme honor, Your Highness is here, so that the Horse Mansion is full of brilliance, Your Highness can come at any time, Gao Ping and the Horse will be entertained." ”
"Hahaha, Imperial Sister, Ming Heng, this king has taken his leave."
After Zhao Zhe left for a while, Zhao Hanyan sat in the courtyard of the courtyard, his face full of low confidants and slandered: "This Zhao Zhe, he came to eat and drink here with this princess, he didn't bring a gift at all, and he was ashamed of it, next time he came, why was he so cheeky to eat and drink for nothing?" ”
Seeing her unhappy look, Zhang Xiang rubbed her shoulders and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that now, only you dare to be such a prince." ”
"What's wrong with him? Others are afraid of him, but I'm not afraid, if he hadn't become the prince, I wouldn't have let him enter the Horse Mansion! ”
"I don't think he's as domineering as you, right? On the contrary, he has the demeanor of a prince, and I have a pretty good impression of him. ”
"That's Ming Heng, you don't know him yet." Zhao Hanyan pulled him to sit down and brainwashed him one by one: "Ming Heng, I'm with you, this Zhao Zhe is like this after he has become the prince now, because he has nothing to fight for, and he wants to win people's hearts." The country is easy to change, his nature is difficult to change, no matter how good he is, he is still the same Zhao Zhe, you don't know, how domineering he was at the time, none of us royal brothers and sisters, he didn't bully, because of my mother's concubine, the queen mother even instigated him to bully me, therefore, the mother always avoided the queen mother in order for me not to be bullied by him. In the palace, he asked the royal brothers and sisters not to play with me, no one dared to play with me, and avoided me from afar, he asked the royal brothers and sisters to beat me, and they came to beat me together, in short, among all the princes and princesses, he was the one I hated the most, even now, I feel that he always has bad intentions towards me. ”
"Are you being bullied by him out of the psychological shadow? Victim paranoia? Zhang Xiang secretly felt funny.
Zhao Hanyan turned his head: "Anyway, I just hate him, change him to come again, don't allow him to come." ”
"How can this be not allowed, it is not allowed, he is the prince, and he can still be blasted out!" Zhang Xiang also felt speechless.
Zhao Hanyan's eyes rolled sharply: "Anyway, I don't care, if he comes again, I'll hide out." ”
"And I'll entertain him myself?"
"I've been to you a long time ago, he came to the Pony Mansion, he didn't care about me at all, he came for you, don't you see how much he cares about you today? He knows that his father blesses you and wants to be close to you, and when he returns to Bianjing, he can invite credit for your situation in front of his father, and when his father is happy, he will not have to reward him. ”
"People will change, and we can't live in the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a man, when we are not sensible, how can we know whether what we do is right or wrong!"
"If Ming Heng likes him, next time he comes, you entertain him yourself, I don't want to look at him anymore, when I look at him, I panic."
Zhang Xiang has never seen Zhao Hanyan so manic and annoyed, all the time, his face has always been as steady as water, steady as Mount Tai, it seems that she really doesn't want to see this prince in her heart, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, if he comes again, let's do it again!" We are no longer him, the hour is not early, and it is time for us to rest. ”
Pulled up by Zhang Xiang, the two couples walked along the corridor to the east room.
Just thinking of the madness of the past two nights, Zhao Hanyan suddenly whispered: "Ming Heng, Gao Ping wants to rest well today, let's do nothing!" ”
"Okay, it's up to you."
……
Late at night, the carriage from last night stopped in front of Kangfu again.
It was the man in black who walked into Kang's house.
Gongzi Kang Yu was already waiting in the hall, met the young man in black, called the servants to serve tea, and then retired all the subordinates.
The man in black glanced at him with a calm face, picked up the tea on the table, and blew it: "Childe, have you thought about it?" ”
Kang Yu glanced at him, then lowered his head, made a final decision, and then raised his head again: "I can agree to Mr. Wei's request, but I don't dare to guarantee that the plan will succeed, so I can only do my best." And I also have one condition, let Mr. Wei pick up my mother first. ”
"Bang Bang Bang"
The man in black clapped his hands with satisfaction and looked at him appreciatively: "Those who know the times are Junjie, and the son's decision is to take advantage of the trend, and he will make contributions every day." Don't worry, Mr. Wei has already arranged a way back for you, if the son agrees, Mr. Wei will arrange someone to pick up your family first, and after the matter is completed, Mr. Wei will also secretly help you withdraw from Pingzhou City. ”
Kang Yu nodded, indicating that he was very satisfied with this arrangement.
"No hurry, one more thing."
The man in black smiled, then took out a white cloth-like object and a dagger from his arms.
Seeing the red mark reflected in the white cloth, Kang Yu was puzzled.
The man in black spread out the cloth.
It turned out to be a white cloth full of names, and those names were written in blood, which had long since solidified and merged with the white cloth, and it looked bloodstained and shocking.
On the bloodstained white cloth leaked by Sen Han, there are names he is familiar with: Tong Jingchu, Xia Dinghe, Bai Shiguang, Zhou You, Kong Fu, Jiang Niang, Hou Yin, Ruan Sanniang...
At least a dozen Rao names, except for the father and son of his Kang family, they are all the descendants or fathers of the twenty-five Rao of the original Honglu Temple Mission.
Tong Jingchu, an old minister of the imperial court, resigned for more than ten years, his son Tong Ding is one of the Honglu Temple missions, this is his only son, and now he is dead, and the Tong family is basically cut off the incense.
Xia Dinghe, the commander of the Weisheng Battalion on Hebei East Road, his younger brother Xia Definition was removed from his official position by the imperial court after the death of the envoy group.
Bai Shiguang, former Guanglu doctor.
Zhou You, the envoy of Huainan East Road, was also removed from his post and transferred to Linzhou to live, and he was the highest official on this white cloth.
Kong Fu, a bachelor of Wenzong Academy, was born in Jinshi, and once served as the superintendent of the country, and was expected to be promoted to the secretary, but his son was also removed from his post due to an accident, and the court was called to appease and return to his hometown.
Jiang Niang, Ruan Sanniang and other women were the widows of the Honglu Temple officials who died in the envoy group.
Hou Yin?
After reading these names, Kang Yu's gaze was fixed on this name.
He recalled and asked the man in front of him, "Hou Yin?" Is it the famous man Hou Yin in Linzhou Mansion? ”
The man replied calmly: "Yes, Hou Dian, the master of ceremonies of Honglu Temple, is Hou Yin's adoptive father. ”
Kang Yu said: "This Hou Yin is one of the four famous people in the south of the Yangtze River, a person from Linzhou, it is rumored that he once wrote a preface to the capital, and the Guozijian of Shunzhou Mansion wanted to summon him to teach Yu, but he refused, is there really such a thing?" ”
The man in front of him nodded: "But there is such a thing." ”
Kang Yu was incredible: "I didn't expect this Hou Yin to join Mr. Wei, so that Yang Li and Hou Yin, among the four famous people in the south of the Yangtze River, are under Mr. Wei's account." ”
"Mr. Wei appreciates their talents, and they are also willing to be a staff member by Mr. Wei's side to create a great cause."
The man handed the dagger to Kang Yu: "Childe, this is the handwritten letter of the Blood Alliance, Childe has agreed, and asked Childe to engrave his name with blood, and now on this, Childe is missing." ”
At this moment, Kang Yu also knew the meaning of this blood alliance handbook, as long as their names were written on it with their own blood, it meant that they had officially joined the army of Wei Lie's restoration, and there was no way out, once someone wanted to repent, this blood alliance handbook could become evidence of their lives.
This is Wei Lie's way of restraining them, and it is also the determination to confirm whether they want to join sincerely.
The dense name above let Kang Yu know that the people on it were the same as him, and it was the Southern Chu Imperial Court that made them feel cold, so they resolutely wrote their names.
He chuckled softly, then took the dagger and made a mark on his finger to write his name.
Now that he has no way out, no one who knows Wei Lie's true identity and plans can choose to retreat, and if he repents, he will soon become a corpse.
He knew that the man in front of him was not alone, outside the Kang Mansion, there would be at least two masters of Donghu Village, or the chauffeur who drove the car, or the chaifu who passed by, saw this blood alliance handwriting, if he still had a little hesitation, he would not survive tonight.
The man who put away the handbook handed him over: "Childe, the matter of coming down to Pingzhou has been completed, and he will leave Pingzhou tonight, and the next matter of Pingzhou will be handed over to Childe." I also asked Gongzi to prepare for Mrs. Kang as soon as possible, and within seven days, someone would come to take the old lady out of Pingzhou City and send her to Xichuan. ”
"Tell Mr. Wei, I will do my best."
"Farewell!"
"By the way, I don't know your honorable name?"
"In Xiahou Yin..."
Seeing the man's distant back, Kang Yu was so shocked that his mouth couldn't close for a long time...
