Chapter 22 The white-robed general Chen Qingzhi
After the Heyin Incident, Er Zhurong became the de facto overlord of the Yellow River Basin. In order to sweep away the remaining peasant uprisings in the country, Er Zhurong first destroyed Xing Gao, a rebel army of displaced people also known as Qingzhou in Youzhou, and later went straight to Jizhou to take Ge Rong's lair.
Soon, after formulating a plan, Er Zhurong quickly attacked with 7,000 elite cavalry, and Ge Rong was caught off guard. At first, Ge Rong still refused to believe that he had a million male divisions, and he could be broken by Er Zhurong's 7,000 cavalry.
"I don't believe that I, Ge Rong's million-strong army, were defeated by your thousand-man cavalry" The gate of Yecheng was quickly attacked by Er Zhurong, and Ge Rong was even besieged by Er Zhurong's cavalry. After losing and retreating all the way, Ge Rong didn't have half a point of fighting.
"Do you know where your biggest mistake was? was originally a retainer of the Wei family, but he was not a traitor. Supporting the army and self-respecting, Xiangzhou Fukou battle, you have been defeated and died, as for how the history books of later generations will be written, you and I do not know. Do you know what you did wrong?" asked Erzhurong
"Haha" Ge Rong looked up to the sky and sighed and said: "Joke, what if I am a minister of the Wei family, the heavenly family is ruthless, and the people should take it." Today is just a momentary negligence, the eternal hatred brewed, you don't stand on my body today, I don't know my difficulties. Although I am a Wei general, I am destined by heaven."
"Joke, what is the destiny of heaven" Er Zhurong angrily reprimanded, "Eat the king's fortune and bear the king's worries." I am the king's army, and I am ordered to cut down you, and it is the mandate of heaven that you speak, which is to kill the reinforcements and poison the commander to get a side."
"That's it, my Ge Rong's defeat today, is fateful. I since the second year of Xiaochang, tossing and turning Huaishuo's break, I wait for the sky without a door, the twelve royal pen pro-book road to Huaishuo people's livelihood suffering, the court has never had a reinforcement to come, if you want to survive, you can only open the door to surrender, the court only knows the trouble of Huaishuo banditry, but I don't know, how many fresh bones are buried in the ground. We first joined the rebels and Xian Yu Xiuli, and then returned to the imperial court Yuanshen, and then ushered in Du Luo Zhou, do you think I don't want to live in an era of stability, with the protection of the imperial court, and the era of brothers and brothers and brothers? But I know that such an era must be created by oneself, and here, I, Ge Rong, am the heaven, the only heaven on the heads of all the people."
Seeing this, Er Zhurong immediately took action to stop him, "No, Wan Ren stopped him", after speaking, he saw that Er Zhuzhao immediately kicked the sword in Ge Rong's hand quickly.
"You want to die, but it's not that easy, your crime, I will definitely take you back to Beijing to be decided by Your Majesty" After speaking, Ge Rong was escorted away by the soldiers.
In the battle of Yecheng, Er Zhurong broke Ge Rong's million lions, and Rong's generals waited for Jing and captured Ge Rong. Just when the battle between Er Zhurong and Ge Rong was fierce, Yuan Hao, who had taken refuge in the Xiao Liang regime of the Southern Dynasty in the Heyin Rebellion, and Chen Qingzhi, an invincible general, broke through Luoyang. Directly took more than 70 cities of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but at this time, Er Zhurong's emperor Yuanzi who was in the Xuanzheng Palace in Luoyang was defeated and fled.
On the one hand, the good news that had just pacified Ge Rong was too late to make Er Zhurong laugh, and a small general here hurriedly ran into the tent.
"Report, King Taiyuan, it's not good. The king of the North Sea, the king of the North Sea, Yuan Hao, colluded with the Southern Liang to break through the royal capital, the emperor, the emperor, and fled. ”
"What are you talking about, Yuan Hao, how dare Yuan Hao" Hearing that the king had been breached, all the generals in the big tent were very puzzled. The western expedition to Ge Rong has only been three months long, why did the Jingshi fall into the hands of the rebels so quickly.
Although Er Zhurong only brought a small number of soldiers and horses in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and each capital had spare manpower and material resources, the Beijing division was captured by the enemy in March and more than 70 people.
"This useless emperor, I really want to kill him, Lao Tzu worked hard to help him clear the rebellion of the exiles, he is good, sitting in Luoyang, he can lose his home, and I don't know what these guards are doing" As soon as I heard that Luoyang had fallen. Er Zhu Zhao's fiery temper will not be beaten anywhere. "I knew earlier, I shouldn't have set up that soft emperor, and the thought of fighting for a rice bucket made me feel super unhappy"
Erzhu Zhao's fiery temper is well known, but at this moment, compared to Erzhu Zhao, who only cares about solving everything by force, the scheming Erzhu Shilong is much more stable. He asked the young general who came to report the news unhappily, "Now, how is the Jingshi?"
"The emperor has taken the Wenchen military generals to avoid the seal for the time being, and specially ordered the villain to come to ask the king of Taiyuan to lead the troops to save the jundu" The young general who came to report was trembling, and the whole person squatted on the ground and trembled, not daring to look up at Er Zhurong at all.
"Save the birds! Lao Tzu was tired and tired on the front line to fight him, and he only cared about retracting into the harem Yingying Lele, and he had to suffer from his bird anger when he went back, it was better to call my uncle the emperor here, and our brothers worked hard, and we knew what it was for" I was already very angry when I saw Er Zhu Zhao before, and at this moment, Er Zhu Zhongyuan also echoed it.
Hearing that the people of the Erzhu family were unwilling to save the Northern Wei Dynasty, the cronie sent by Emperor Xiaozhuang tried to use all his strength to compete with it and shouted, "King Taiyuan, implore the King of Taiyuan to save Beijing quickly" The words have not yet fallen, only to see a sword, the molecules in the air were silent for a few seconds, and then looked at the ground, a stall of hot water came down from the ground, and when he looked over, he saw that the little soldier had fallen to the ground.
Seeing that Er Zhu Zhongyuan killed the little soldier, Er Zhu Rong looked at him who was still wielding a knife in his hand at a loss, "Zhongyuan, you"
Er Zhurong's surprised expression let Er Zhu Zhongyuan know that he was in trouble, so he knelt in front of Er Zhurong with a blank face, "Uncle, Zhongyuan begs uncle, abolish the emperor and become king"
"Confused, you, didn't you already divinate last time, this king has no king's life, and he is destined not to be called king" Thinking of what the divination gentleman said last time, Er Zhurong suddenly felt a sense of silence in his heart
"This matter has not yet been discussed. You juniors, what are you arguing about, Shilong, Tianmu, and Shaozong, look at it, what should we do" Er Zhurong glanced around the people very calmly.
Er Zhurong asked, and the opium around him suddenly became silent, only to see a middle-aged man in his forties, who touched his messy mustache with a scheming look and whispered, "King Taiyuan, the minister thinks that if he rebels at this time, it will not be good for us to be public or private, and the people's hearts are undecided, and I am afraid of causing trouble."
After listening to the words of Yuan Tianmu, who he trusted the most, Er Zhurong already had a new idea at this moment: "Yes, the reason why we attacked Ge Rong is because of his rebellion and disloyalty, if it is compared to being the emperor, it will explain the purpose of our trip."
"Hmph" Seeing that Er Zhu Rong hesitated, Er Zhu Zhao walked out of the big account very unhappily, his face full of anger.
"Uncle's trip, but he is really old and confused, the older a person is, the more timid he becomes, on the one hand, he wants to achieve hegemony, and on the other hand, he is worried about the remarks of historians, he is really old and confused" Er Zhuzhao's boiling face seemed to be boiling hot water, and his face was full of dissatisfaction.
"General, can be described as a gentleman in the world, but he can be a martial and stable country, but he can't rule the world" At that time, a white-robed young man walked into the big account and walked into a white-robed young man, and while walking, he clapped his hands and shouted Zhu Zhao's true temperament.
"It turned out to be General Gao Huan Gao, who had just made a military exploit" Seeing Gao Huan walking with a wolf-eyed tiger-backed person, Gao Huan clapped his hands and looked at Er Zhuzhao, Er Zhuzhao suddenly waved his fists unhappily and rushed straight to Gao Huan.
When Er Zhuzhao saw the white-clothed young man who came out of the general's mansion, he couldn't help but have a murderous aura in his eyes, Gao Huan was a graceful and elegant young man, dressed in a relatively tight white Confucian robe, with horizontal eyebrows and starry eyes, although he was not a standard Confucian scholar, there was no difference, and then look at the young man in Xuanyi next to him, about thirty or so, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, his eyes were like jackals, and he glanced past to give people a sense of horror. The pace is deep and shallow, and it seems to be born with a disability, which makes people stand in the cold.
"General, why is this" Seeing Er Zhu Zhao jumping like an eagle's claws, Gao Huan did not add to the horror but calmly responded, he knew that Er Zhu Zhao was a person who was proud of himself, for such a person, he didn't need to be more vigilant, he had a bold personality, and he was single-minded and brave.
"Why, the competition" Er Zhu Zhao replied disdainfully as he attacked. This General Erzhu Zhao, although he is not the son of the Tianzhu General's Mansion, but his status in the Erzhu Mansion is undoubtedly the same as that of the sons, Er Zhurong loves this nephew very much, and with his great achievements on the battlefield, just by virtue of these, inside and outside the Erzhu Mansion, everyone respects him as a general. Although Gao Huan doesn't know anything else, he still knows a little about this kind of person in power. He knew that he was not Er Zhu Zhao's opponent, so he didn't have to deliberately back down.
Erzhu Zhao is brave in the mouth of the royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty, everyone hears his name and stands solemnly, in addition to bravery, perhaps accompanied by more ferocity, indiscriminate killing of innocents, everywhere the chickens and dogs are not heard, it can be said that the interpersonal is absolutely unrelenting. Gao Huan knew that he was not his opponent, and he could only retreat with all his might, and finally was hit by Er Zhu Zhao and had to retreat more than two meters, Er Zhu Zhao was still unwilling, and the flying claws hooked the sword
Seeing that his hand was about to lock Gao Huan's neck, at this moment, Hou Jing, who had been silently watching the battle in place, flew into the battlefield and joined the battlefield. Although Hou Jing was born like a wolf, his skills are also as fast and agile as a wolf, and his flying body hooks and legs to jump and kick is not inferior to Er Zhu Zhao's half a step.
"Wanjing, be careful, don't hurt the general" Although Gao Huan reminded on the side, Keer Zhu Zhao's move was fatal, where was Hou Jing allowed to reflect more. I saw Er Zhu Zhao spinning the pear blossom kick, and Hou Jing had to take a step to attack.
"Wonderful, really wonderful" Just when these two people fought to the most exciting, Er Zhurong walked out of the inner court with a wave of public Murong Shaozong, He Bayue, Er Zhu Shilong, Er Zhu Zhongyuan and others. "General King" Gao Huan immediately respectfully bowed his hand to Er Zhurong. Everyone watched like monkeys, watching the exchange between the two seriously. Er Zhurong waved his hand, signaling that Gao Huan did not need to be polite. There were more and more people in the courtyard, and the more the two fought, the more tired they became. At this time, an old man with a gorgeous crown walked in from outside, wearing a more gorgeous cloak and clapping his hands with sighs
"The General's Mansion is really as good as a cloud, and Yuan is an eye-opener today," Yuan Tianmu said with a calculating encouragement
With the arrival of Yuan Tianmu, the originally pleasant spectators dissipated one after another, and Hou Jing went to help Gao Huan, who was invincible to Er Zhu Zhao, "How are you?"
"I'm fine" Gao Huan gestured slightly, Er Zhuzhao walked over slowly, looked at the two of them carefully, and patted Hou Jing's shoulder straightly
"General, how offended" Er Zhu Zhao and Hou Jing fought for a long time and did not compare the high and low, and finally under Er Zhurong's order, he had to turn the dry wave into a jade silk, and Hou Jing bowed to Er Zhu Zhao very respectfully.
Although Er Zhu Zhao is cruel, he also has a true temperament to treat his friends, coupled with his irritable temper, he only knows how to solve the problem by force regardless of the consequences, even if it is not a natural force, maybe in the world of great disputes, it will be less fun.
"This general is really good, if you have time, you will definitely have a good competition with the general" Saying that, Zhu Zhao patted his ass and left, although Hou Jing didn't say anything, he may also feel the same way in his heart. After he respectfully greeted Er Zhu Zhao, this unfinished game also drew a question mark on Hou Jing's skills.
"Let's step down too"
"Who is that general?" Erzhu Zhao asked the attendant beside him.
I saw that the attendants of General Erzhu's Mansion were wearing big high hats and uniform black black robes, "Which one is the general talking about?"
"There are not many people who can catch my ten moves, but he has fought with me for more than 200 rounds, and his face is still ruddy, this person is like a wolf, and he is as fast as a wolf, fierce and fast, and the general's mansion is not to be underestimated."
"Oh! What the general is talking about is Wanjing (Hou Jing) Hou Jing General! He is the Hanoi hussar general who was newly appointed by the king of Taiyuan," the servant replied with a bowed head.
Er Zhuzhao touched his chin and thought thoughtfully, "Hou Jing, Hou Wanjing, why is this name so familiar?"
"Hou Jing, isn't that the one who rushed into Xiangzhou and captured Ge Rong with the strength of one horse?" Suddenly, Er Zhuzhao suddenly felt shocked, and he still remembered the scene of the Eastern Expedition to Ge Rong.
As Gao Huan waited for Jing and the others to retreat, Er Zhurong took Yuan Tianmu's hand and entered the living room together, almost all of them have been people within the Erzhu family in the past few years, and Er Zhuzhao also followed.
"Tianmu is very good here, but what good news does it bring. It just so happened that the old man also intended to enter the palace, and Ying'e had been in the palace for a while, and the lady was not at ease, and wanted the old man to enter the palace to visit her daughter. Thinking about these years, he was able to quickly occupy the court, so that the court was not afraid of him, and it was thanks to the persuasion of the old man beside him that he was able to raise troops in Beixiurong with peace of mind.
As soon as Yuan Tianmu heard that Er Zhurong had such thoughts, he immediately said, "No, no, no" and hurriedly stopped him.
"What does Tianmu mean by this trip?" Erzhu Zhao looked at him puzzled
"General King, it's not the time to enter the palace yet. I just got a letter saying that Yuan Hao took refuge in Xiao Liang in the south, Xiao Yan sent Chen Qingzhi to attack the north, it is said that Chen Qingzhi is gathering Ge Rong's old troops in various places and is ready to make a comeback, if you want to unify the world, there is no tiger inside, and it is also a vicious tiger" Yuan Tianmu twisted his beard and said meaningfully. "Besides, Yan'er is now the queen's mother, and the emperor loves her very much, and she is specially given the name Ying'e, how can you and I not know the word Ying'e. It can be seen that the emperor attaches great importance to Niangniang"
The woman is delicate, and the elegance is the e. Tracing back to the road, you get a thousand gold. Indeed, the word Ying'e. It is indeed precious, and if you don't have a peerless appearance, you will definitely not be able to bear the word.
Er Zhurong's greatest wish is to unify the north and then chase the Central Plains. He has an imperial dream, but he is obsessed with the providence of heaven, although he has the intention of not being subordinate, but he has never dared to have a disobedience.
"That's right, if you want to dominate the north, and that old guy, he has met countless times, but unfortunately he still hasn't uprooted." Er Zhurong said with emotion. It's as if he and Ge Rong are destined to have this catastrophe in their lives.
Looking back at the time when everyone in Ge Rong's big tent was happy, fighting was undoubtedly commonplace for them, and Ge Rong was a million, at this time, Er Zhu Zhongyuan stood up, "Brother clan, my brother has something to say"
"What does the hussar general think" Er Zhurong sat in the main hall of the living room, looked at him with a happy face, and gave him a gesture of gesture
I saw Er Zhu Zhongyuan very respectfully put down his hands with his hands, and then talked eloquently according to his train of thought. "General King. Generals, if we want to conquer Ge Rong, the first thing we need is the hearts of the people and soldiers. Over the years, the generals and I have successively defeated the various overlords who are vying for the top of the mountain, and have also eliminated most of the resistance forces, but Ge Rong is different from ordinary thieves, he can control the entire area of Dingzhou, which shows that he has very military means, besides, Ge Rong has now become the emperor, claiming to have a million lions, just in terms of numbers, we are very disadvantaged. ”
After Er Zhu Zhongyuan analyzed them one by one, everyone also felt something, after all, Ge Rong was a fierce opponent. Everyone is almost cooperative, some people are in charge of fighting, some people are in peace, and some people are not fighting and not in harmony with the middle attitude, anyway, it has been a long time and there has been no progress, Er Zhurong simply broke up, and he already has a definite answer or not.
The intra-clan meeting was really not very significant, but Er Zhurong probably already had an idea in his heart.
Erzhu Shilong pulled Erzhu Zhong and said as he walked, "Zhongyuan is not bent on wealth, what. There was such a clear mind in the past and now"
Er Zhu Zhong looked at the scheming Er Zhu Shilong from afar, he didn't refuse anything, it's just that they are the same, fighting a war may not be as brave as Er Zhu Zhao, but in terms of calculating people's hearts, neither of them loses to anyone.
"Shilong is thinking a lot, the gentleman does not fight the main battle, the battle will be won, since it is Qi who wins the game, why don't I participate, not to mention that the war has brought me not only wealth, it is much easier to kill people than to find a way to cheat people into wealth, my knife, I haven't seen blood for a long time." Er Zhu Zhongyuan tilted his head like a wolf, and left with a crazy laugh.
"It seems to be crazy," Erzhu Shilong was shocked
The next day, Erzhurong was dressed in black armor, holding a helmet in his right hand and a sword in his left hand. Outside the city gate, he stood on the city wall, gathered a large army, and loudly counted several charges against Ge Rong, so that he could become famous.
"As we all know, Ge Rong was a general of Huaishuo in his early years, first took refuge in Xian Yu Xiuli, a traitor who participated in the Six Towns Uprising in the early days, and Xian Yu Xiuli was killed by Yuan Hongye, and he was afraid that Yuan Hongye would kill Yuan Hongye by despicable means before becoming the king of Hebei, and now he shamelessly proclaims himself the Son of Heaven, and reorganizes the Hebei accumulated by our Great Wei into the world of his Qi country, we absolutely cannot tolerate such an ungrateful thing to deceive our ancestors, so we must teach this group of ungrateful boys a lesson for our ancestors."
A solemn wind blew on the city wall, and after Er Zhurong finished speaking, he walked down from the city wall, and all the soldiers stood neatly dressed one by one, all carrying bowls. "Dry" Er Zhurong made a toast. The crowd drank it all the way.
Er Zhuzhao stood up and shouted, "Capture Ge Rong alive and swear to pacify Dingzhou"
Er Zhurong talked eloquently, only to see that the morale was really high, and everyone shouted "Capture Ge Rong alive, capture Ge Rong alive"
In this way, the army of Hao Hao Tang Tang to pacify Dingzhou set off, and as expected, Er Zhurong defeated Ge Rong's million lions with fewer victories. And now, not long after the country has just calmed down, a new storm is coming.
"Uncle, what are you worried about, leave it to the child, I will definitely let this Chen Qingzhi come and go." Er Zhuzhao volunteered to fight, but saw Er Zhurong's face couldn't help but become heavy.
"Nonsense, Nanliang's attack this time is not simple, just a child, don't be good at talking" The words may not be, many veterans on the battlefield have the same concerns as Er Zhurong.
Er Zhuzhao has never been so abused by Er Zhurong, and he is very unconvinced, although he is not a veteran, but he has fought so many battles with Er Zhurong and has not lost so, but he was belittled by Er Zhurong like this. "I dare to make a military order, if I can't repel the southern thieves, I will come to see you."
"Nonsense, you go down for me." Er Zhurong pointed at Er Zhuzhao angrily.
"Hmph" Erzhu Zhao left very angrily.
"King Taiyuan must not worry, although Nanliang is menacing this time, it is not unsolvable." Yuan Tianmu was already confidently twisting his beard.
Hearing this, Er Zhurong suddenly looked at Yuan Tianmu with great spirit, "Tianmu has a solution"
"The solution is a solution, but it can not be solved at this time"
"Why did Tian Mu say this?"
"Have you ever heard the news of Yuan Hao's entry into the city?" Yuan Tianmu asked Er Zhurong with a little nudge.
"The arrival of the rebels this time is huge, Your Majesty must have known about it"
Er Zhurong replied like this, Yuan Tianmu became even heavier, and he asked again, "Your Majesty already knows, has there ever been a Zhao Yu general?"
"Never"
"Have you ever spoken to the general?"
"Never," replied Erzhurong.
"Since Your Majesty has not summoned the general, the general's trip is peaceful."
"I" Yuan Tianmu asked layer by layer, but Er Zhurong didn't answer a word. But it also happened to Rong Erzhu Rong to think deeply. It is rumored that Taiyuan has the king of Taiyuan, and the safety of the royal family depends on him, pacifying the chaos, erecting a dangerous wall, who does not know the king of Taiyuan, and makes clothes in vain.
Seeing that Er Zhurong was silent, Yuan Tianmu couldn't help but tell the truth: "Your Majesty is suspicious of Junduo, and now that the soldiers are coming to the city, Your Majesty will not summon you, but let the Imperial Forest Army He Yu lead the troops, do you know the reason." If He Yu can repel Yuan Hao this time, the emperor naturally knows that even if there is no king of Taiyuan, there are still people who can defend his country for him, if the emperor makes a meritorious achievement, I am afraid that the wings will be fuller at that time, and we will definitely let others slaughter him."
The head of Yuan Tianmu's analysis is the Tao, and Er Zhurong also knows in his heart that although the world is now falling apart, as long as the Yuan family is still the co-lord of the world, he is a courtier, no matter how much merit the courtier has, the success or defeat of the king is only a matter between the king's words, so what he has to do is to convince the king that no one can support the Yuan family except him.
As time passed, war reports came from all over the country, and the people were in the midst of fire and water, as long as he sent troops, the adverse situation would soon pass, but his wait, waiting for the emperor to summon him, let the emperor show his attitude.
Day 1: "Uncle, are we not sending troops yet?" ”
Day 2: "Uncle"
clause
Heaven: "Uncle"
"Taiyuan King ......"
…… No matter how many people reply, Er Zhurong only has one word "wait"
