"Newspaper" a small general took the flag and rushed all the way into the camp tent. Er Zhurong and a group of generals are discussing how to conquer Ge Rong.

In the summer of 528 AD, Emperor Zhuang ascended the throne, and Ge Rong has been harassing the border, waving the victory flag, and the world responds. For a time, it actually had millions of troops and monopolized one side.

Since the Six Towns Uprising, Ge Rong quickly became the third leader to lead the Hebei Rebel Army after breaking the Six Han Baling and Du Luo Zhou, and in just three or four years, Ge Rong has already recruited millions of soldiers. Its military strength is not inferior to Yuan Shao in the Three Kingdoms, on the other hand, Er Zhurong's side was ordered by the Son of Heaven to beg for thieves. Although there is a righteous teacher, there is a famous teacher. However, there are few soldiers and generals, and the people are not able to make a living, and the grain and grass they have collected are relatively scarce. If you want to march from Luoyang to Hebei, I am afraid that it will be difficult to win after a long journey.

As soon as the edict of the conquest of Ge Rong came out, Er Zhurong took the Erzhu clan and his staff Yuan Tianmu, He Bayue and others to Hebei together, and in the battle with Ge Rong, the two sides still lingered in the confrontation for three months. Although there are some small wins and small defeats, they really can't affect the overall situation.

"What's the matter" Just when everyone was distressed, a small soldier quickly entered the camp tent with the news from the front.

"General Qiyu Wang, the front is in Malay to report, Ge Rong and others have gathered in the city and have not come out, and they have hung up the battle exemption card for three days"

After the young general finished his report, Er Zhurong's whole face was not very good, he sat on the handsome seat with a sad face, and the generals under the account chattered endlessly about how to fight Ge Rong.

"It seems that Ge Rong is trying to delay time," Er Zhuzhao said

Er Zhu Shilong replied, "Even if he wants to delay time, he needs reinforcements, Du Luo has been swallowed up by Ge Rong on Monday, and Ge Rong may not be able to swallow such a big piece of cake." The rest of the rebels are just a rabble, so naturally they don't dare to confront the imperial court."

Yuan Tianmu stood in front of the tent, twisted his beard and said, "I'm afraid there is fraud in this matter."

Yecheng is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and it is autumn, the number of dry things is normal, Er Zhuzhao advocates that you can use fire to attack, but the lethality of fire attack is too intense, once the wolf smoke is ignited, then the entire Yecheng will become a ruin. Er Zhu Shilong advocated water attack, Ge Rong's generals will hoard in Zuoren City, Zuoren City is located in a flat and fertile land, the upstream Pan family lives on fishing, and has the largest Panjiakou Reservoir in Yecheng, if the upstream opens the gate to release water, then, the downstream will definitely form a huge flood, at that time, Ge Rong's side, the grain and grass will be destroyed, and the Zuoren City will become a dead city sooner or later.

In the Erzhurong camp, especially Erzhu Shilong and Erzhu Zhao's opinions are the most controversial. But seeing Er Zhurong's preoccupied look, Yuan Tianmu raised his head and looked at Er Zhurong who was sitting in the handsome position,

"The King of Taiyuan has something on his mind"

Er Zhurong touched his forehead, and said in a cliché, "I can't talk about my heart, but I am more anxious about it right now."

"What is it that can make my uncle so anxious, you might as well talk about it" Er Zhu Zhao heard that Er Zhurong was worried, and he was immediately a lot more anxious. Seeing that Er Zhurong was full of sorrow, everyone naturally panicked and walked towards Er Zhurong one after another.

Er Zhurong rubbed his forehead, sitting on the handsome seat with a look of the princess, with a sad look on his face, "Two days ago, I visited the Malay newspaper, and the southern border has recently frequently transferred troops to the north, and I am afraid that there will be a suspicion of riots."

When Er Zhuzhao heard this, he immediately jumped like thunder, "This southern barbarian, bullying the riots in our country, and having no generals to dispatch, actually wants to raid, it's really hateful."

When Yuan Tianmu heard this, he slowly walked in front of Er Zhurong, "The southern border has invaded my fertile soil, it is not overnight, since ancient times, it is justifiable, but why did it make such a disturbance this time, think about it, it must have mastered some secret things" After speaking, Yuan Tianmu twisted his beard and turned his head to look at Er Zhurong, "The king of Taiyuan knows who is leading the army this time"

"White-robed general Chen Qingzhi"

Yuan Tianmu was shocked "Chen Qingzhi"

Er Zhu Zhao looked at Yuan Tianmu puzzled, and said with some fuss, "Why is the military advisor surprised, who is this Chen Qingzhi, Ge Rong's mercenaries are million, and they don't see the military advisor so surprised, why do you talk about this Southern Liang general, the military advisor actually looks embarrassed?"

Yuan Tianmu patted Zhu Zhao's shoulder, some admired his newborn calf and was not afraid of tigers, but he really couldn't underestimate this Chen Qingzhi too much, "Wan Ren really doesn't know, this Chen Qingzhi, once followed Emperor Liang to fight everywhere, when Emperor Liang was not Emperor Liang, this Chen Qingzhi has been assisting him, Emperor Liang loves talents, and is more suspicious, even Fan Yun, a general who is upright and married, can be killed, why can he leave a veteran like Chen Qingzhi alone, it must not be simple"

He Bayue said, "However, since ancient times, the text is the first, the first to understand things, pay attention to the famous teacher, this time Nanliang dared to risk the world's greatness not to be the first to send troops, I think it was to make some preparations" After that, He Bayue glanced at Yuan Tianmu, and then fell into a melancholy thought: "Nanliang's large-scale attack this time is not as simple as attacking the city"

"The text has been delivered, everyone take a look" After saying that, Er Zhurong handed the text of the Southern Liang campaign to Yuan Tianmu

"Before the Qin Dynasty collapsed, less, on behalf of the king of the country, the capital of Shengle, in April of the same year, renamed Wei, Taiwu Zhizhi unified the north, filial piety and saint ancestor, moved the capital to Luoyang, Shinong industry and commerce, Wang Fu and powerful, large mixed residence, small gathering. The harmony of nations. However, in the Xuanwu period, the heavy taxes and miscellaneous labors were heavy, and the people's livelihood was strict, so the group rose up to attack it, the Ming Emperor was young, and the demon queen misled the country, which actually destroyed the foundation of a hundred years. Independent north, proud of the heroes, however, the sky has a rapidly changing selfishness, the traitor Erzhu clan, swallowing the king and washing the princes in blood, the water of Heyin is destroyed, and then swallowing tens of millions of loyal souls. Wei since the beginning of the founding of the country, has been more than one hundred and forty-four years, there has never been Dong Zhuo Cao Cao's people, coerced the Son of Heaven and ordered the princes, and now the evil minister Er Zhu Rong, with private utensils, to welcome the king of Changle Yuan Zi as the emperor, the world knows, the king of Changle is not good, not the choice of the king, the person of the mandate of heaven, should be the king of Beihai Yuanhao, now the evil minister of the office, God bless the Great Wei, the king of Beihai benevolence and righteousness moved the heavens, specially ordered my king to send the envoy back to the country in peace, inherit the unification"

"Who wrote this inscription, he can actually say that the black is white, reversing right and wrong, but it is really clever, what is the choice of heaven is the king of Beihai, this is clearly the choice of a villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death" Look, Er Zhu Zhao can't wait to break this inscription

Er Zhu Shilong sighed slowly, "Who else can this come from, think about it, it must be the hand of Yuan Yu, the number one talent in my country."

Erzhu Zhao was indignant and clenched his fists and said, "I didn't kill him in the river yin at the beginning, and it will definitely be an external disaster in the future."

Er Zhurong pinched the token, and then quickly threw his fingers, only to see that half of the token was firmly rooted in the wood, "The urgency of the moment, quickly kill Ge Rong, in the south of the Liang, this Chen Qingzhi does not claim to be brave, this time, let him stay in my north"

Er Zhurong waved the edict, and the people in the generals responded with "yes"

It was said that Ge Rong hung up the battle exemption card for three days, but suddenly handed out a letter to fight to the death in Zuoren City, and Erzhu Shilong, who was standing in the camp, looked at Er Zhurong on the handsome position with some confusion and said: "Ge Rong's move, why is it?"

Er Zhurong was also very puzzled at first: "Ge Rong is more than brave, but his strategy is insufficient, his generals who have just annexed Tujin Luozhou, although they are generously gifted, it is actually difficult to gain the hearts of the army in one fell swoop, if at this time, there is one person who is willing to lobby, and it will be completely collapsed at that time."

Sure enough, as Er Zhurong expected, Ge Rong sent troops to Yecheng, Du Luo Zhou's subordinates were not convinced, and soon defeated Yecheng, after Yecheng was besieged, Er Zhurong and his nephew Er Zhu Zhao, Er Zhu Tianguang, cousin Er Zhu Shilong, and the three brothers of He Bayue under his command, that is, he led 7,000 elite soldiers with two horses and a pair of straight to Hebei, and went straight to take Ge Rong's lair.

"The success of this plan depends on the persuasion of Wanda and Amu, since Ge Rong's deeds are revealed, he will naturally take advantage of the victory to pursue" After speaking, Er Zhurong waved his battle robe, and quickly pulled out the general from the bamboo bucket, "Er Zhu Zhao, Er Zhu Shilong, and He Bayue obey orders"

"The last general" Er Zhuzhao and the others quickly knelt down

Er Zhurong said: "The three of you will lead 1,500 cavalry to meet the battle from the east, south, and west gates" After speaking, Er Zhurong faced Er Zhu Shilong on the side, "Er Zhu Shilong obeys orders"

When Erzhu Shilong heard the light, he immediately knelt down and said, "The last general"

Er Zhurong said: "Er Zhu Shilong, this commander ordered you to have 500 cavalry to ambush in this mountain forest, and when Ge Rong is tired and falls, he will take it here in one fell swoop."

After speaking, Er Zhurong handed the order to Er Zhu Shilong, and Er Zhu Shilong got up after taking the order. After seeing that all the personnel were properly placed, Er Zhurong suddenly said: "The victory in this battle is all due to the speed of the soldiers, although Ge Rong claims to have millions of mercenaries, the actual soldiers are not all in Yecheng, but in Zuoren City." In this case, we only need to cut off the reinforcements in the rear, and within half a day, Ge Rong can be captured."

Seeing that the basic bulo had been completed, Er Zhurong said to Yuan Tianmu: "Amu, the matter of cutting off the rear will be handed over to you."

After speaking, Yuan Tianmu quickly knelt on the ground and said: "Marshal rest assured, the last general will definitely live up to his mission."

The two sides confronted each other for more than two months, and finally Ge Rong was defeated, and Er Zhurong returned to the court. In the palace, the wine and delicacies are lined up, singing, dancing and laughing like mountains and seas, Emperor Zhuang sits in the center of the golden palace and raises a glass with the military generals of the Tang Dynasty.

"This great victory is enough to rely on the majesty of the king of Taiyuan, as well as the generals and soldiers Ge Laoma to sweep away the internal Kou for my Great Wei and seek the peace of the troubled times for the people" said, Emperor Xiaozhuang had already left the palace and rejoiced with the ministers. After a while, he glanced at Er Zhu Zhao with his eyebrows, and during the banquet, he saw that Er Zhu Zhao was not crazy, and he knew that the courtiers did not have much heart for him, and all the credit and scenery were taken up by Er Zhurong.

After the banquet was over, it was about three o'clock, and the ministers retreated one by one and went to the post house, and Er Zhuzhao and the others were already drunk. The cups of tea were poured one by one, and the face was flushed, and the dream was confided from time to time.

"Your Majesty, you are tired, please rest your Majesty early!" The Ouchi attendant walked slowly, looking at the tired emperor, and he was also very helpless.

"Rest, you know what I am most afraid of every day, I am afraid that if I close my eyes every day, I will not be able to open them, and I will not be able to face the ancestors who exchanged their lives and blood for the dynasty, and I have seen the situation today, and there is nothing the widow can do at all."

After late at night, Yuan Ziyou choked up for a long time facing the window alone, and I don't know when he realized the helplessness and pain of the emperor at the end of the Han Dynasty. Finally, I fell asleep for a long time with the help of the attendant.

In the small dream of the night, vaguely, he dreamed that in a dark room, a group of people gathered waiting for him to look more closely, and the whole person's sleeping appearance became hideous:

"General, now, the royal family is weak, the internal troubles have been removed from Hebei Ge Rong is not afraid of threats, the Northern Wei royal family, Luoyang nobles, all have been offended, not to mention the general heaven descended to the might, if not, it will abolish the useless Emperor Xiaozhuang, we are willing to assist the King of Taiyuan to ascend the throne as the emperor and create a new dynasty" The nephew Zhu Zhao diligently knelt on the ground and pleaded with Er Zhurong. Seeing Er Zhu Zhao kneeling down, the generals also knelt down one by one and begged Er Zhu Rong to depose Emperor Zhuang and make himself emperor.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, You're having nightmares again"

"Your Majesty, the minister deserves to die, he kicked the mandate of heaven in vain, and asked His Majesty for permission, quasi-minister, return to Jinyang" Er Zhurong bowed his head in the court, and waited with great sincerity and fear to Emperor Zhuang, answering.

Hearing that Er Zhurong was going to return to Jinyang, Yuan Ziyou pretended to be very retained, "With the King of Taiyuan sitting here, you dare to be presumptuous to see the thieves" said, Yuan Ziyou held Er Zhurong's arm tightly, pretending to stay, Er Zhurong saw that Emperor Zhuang was so retained, and the doubts in his heart increased a lot, and he hurriedly replied

"The minister is afraid, but the day of the army has been more than three months by this time, and the family is very worried and hopes that His Majesty will be accommodating" Er Zhurong repeatedly refused, which was naturally happy for Emperor Zhuang, first, to get rid of Er Zhurong's shackles, and second, to make another plan.

Seeing Er Zhurong repeatedly ask for resignation, Emperor Zhuang walked down the steps with a snicker in his heart, and walked step by step to Er Zhurong, who was kneeling on the ground and holding his hands solidly.

"In this case, the general, please cherish it" said, he helped Er Zhurong, in the Xuanzheng Palace, there were only two of them, Emperor Zhuang said with a serious face, "The widow can become this emperor, all rely on the general's great achievements, in fact, this dragon chair, should be done by the general" Saying, Yuan Ziyou pointed to the throne that was close at hand.

Er Zhurong glanced at the throne, and then at Emperor Zhuang's tentative eyes, "No, no, no, your majesty, you are serious, Weichen has never thought of crossing the line"

Seeing Er Zhurong's resignation, Emperor Zhuang is a smart man, and he is not pressing, he is gambling, if the bet wins, then he can escape the threat of his eyes, so that he can make a comeback when he becomes stronger. By the way, the fact that Er Zhurong can only be a minister in this life was identified.

"The minister doesn't dare," Er Zhurong felt very vain and lowered his head and resigned.

"Your Majesty, can you allow the old slave to say a word" At this time, an old slave in the palace said a word forward.

"Old woman, but it doesn't hurt to say it," Emperor Xiaozhuang smiled very falsely.

"The old slave thinks that the reason why there is a gap between His Majesty and the general tonight is because there is no one who can accompany His Majesty to relieve his worries in the palace, and there are many people outside, and it is inevitable that some people will say false and slanderous words about the general because they are jealous of the general. You said that the old slave had a good method. ”

After speaking, the chamberlain beside Emperor Zhuang looked at Er Zhurong again and said: "I heard that this eldest lady is deeply loved by the king of Taiyuan, I don't know if the prince can give it up."

In an instant, I saw that Er Zhurong's face suddenly darkened, if it weren't for Emperor Xiaozhuang catching him for private divination, Er Zhurong didn't want to shirk so much, but it was very shameless to send his daughter out like this, not to mention that Emperor Zhuang had said that he wanted to marry the eldest lady of the Erzhu family when he established the emperor.

"I hope that the minister will go back and discuss with his wife," Er Zhurong was elbowed by layers of clumsy elbows at this time, and had to retreat with a disgraced face, as long as Emperor Zhuang thought that he had achieved his wish at this time, his heart was naturally a lot happy. Since that day when he first saw Er Zhu Yan in the Plum Garden of Taiyuan Mansion, Yuan Ziyou fell in love at first sight, and now, if he can marry Er Zhu Yan, not only for his royal supreme status, but also for others are the best choice.

Since the change of the river, Erzhurong has dreamed all night about everything that happened on the riverbank that day, and sometimes even in his dreams, he can always dream of an endless red river and sea into a hot state, and several times the big waves rolled up at the bottom of the sea can drown him, and every time he is trapped in the dream and can't extricate himself, Yeyana can always wake him up in time. As time passed, Er Zhurong was no longer afraid, that is, from this time, Yeena, who was originally arrogant and domineering and controlled the power of life and death in the family, was here to devote himself to the Buddha and from then on, with the wooden fish and green lanterns as his companion.

In the days that followed, Er Zhurong did not often stay in the Yeyana room, and in the days when Daddy and Auntie had conflicts, the status of the second aunt in the house increased instantly, and those aunts who had been flattering Niang in the original house instantly turned their heads to welcome the second aunt Liu who was born in the Qihu clan. Even the married third and fifth sisters are very lively in the boudoir.

Seeing the emptiness and grievances in the house, Ah Cai was naturally unaccustomed to seeing his young lady being wronged, "Madam, why do you bother to be angry with the master, in the end, you will be cheaper than the Liu family"

Yeyana lowered her head and was silent, knocking on the wooden fish silently, and the very light impact sound of "dong dong dong" seemed to make the whole space stand still. Yeyana stopped hitting the wooden fish, pinched the Buddha beads and said slowly: "Success or failure is empty, emptiness is color, color is empty, no matter how good the skin will be old in the end, the world only loves the skin, all beings have no self, no one, no beings, no longevity, no Amitabha, no Amitabha, no Amitabha" and then no matter what Ah Cai said, Yeyana always chanted: "Nan no Amitabha"

"Madame" Ah Cai had to sigh and leave from the door...

"Nurse, Ah Niang, she" Er Zhuyan stood at the door and asked

"Miss, please go back," Ah Cai shook her head

"Auntie, are you going to ignore Daddy for the rest of your life?" Er Zhuyan saw that Ah Cai didn't answer, thinking that this must be Ye Yeye's idea.

"Ah Niang, I'm Yan'er, you answer me, Ah Niang" said Er Zhu Yan and was about to rush to the door, but was stopped by Ah Cai at the door.

"Miss, you better let Mrs. be quiet, too many things have happened these days, Mrs. She will be difficult to accept for a while" Ah Cai waved her arms to block Er Zhuyan, Er Zhuyan did not intend to break in, from childhood to adulthood, Er Zhuyan has always respected Ah Cai very much, she was raised by Ah Cai since she was a child, and she has been with Ah Cai for even longer than Pu Juan.

Seeing this, Er Zhuyan didn't plan to force in, Pu Juan stood aside and accompanied her, to be honest, Er Zhuyan didn't know why Er Zhurong and Yeyana had come to this point, she wanted to do something for them on her way to Luoyang, but it was still difficult to achieve, and now Yeyana even avoided her.

"Then the troublesome nurse told Ah Niang that Yan'er will go to Luoyang to learn art on the fifteenth day of next month, and she can't serve her parents, and I hope Ah Niang will forgive me." After saying that, Yayana, who was meditating indoors, paused for a moment, and then continued with a rapid beating.

"A-Niang won't come out to see me, will she?" Er Zhuyan said silently

Pu Juan saw that Er Zhuyan was full of pain, and felt uncomfortable in her heart, "Miss, let's go back" Originally, Er Zhuyan still wanted to struggle, but when she saw Ah Cai's face, she knew that even if she stayed here too much, she couldn't solve the current situation, so she could only listen to what Pu Juan said.

After Ah Cai sent Er Zhuyan away, she returned to the meditation room full of helplessness, "Even if Madame is holding a grudge against the master, but the young lady is innocent, Yan'er, she just wants the lady and the master to get along."

"Go down! In front of the Buddha, there is no room for whispering," Yeyana said coldly, and then continued to recite the Zen words in the "Diamond Sutra".

"Ajuan, you say, will A-Niang really live in the Buddhist hall for the rest of her life, does she really refuse to forgive Daddy" Er Zhuyan looked at Pu Juan with sorrow, Pu Juan didn't answer, just accompanied her silently in front of the lotus pond, Er Zhuyan was very conflicted in her heart, and she didn't want to think about anything.

"Miss, why don't you find Master Heba to practice dancing and relax," Pu Juan suddenly diverted the topic, wanting Er Zhuyan to divert her attention to other things.

"I don't want to go," Er Zhuyan shook her head

Pu Juan said again, "I heard that Young Master Tang got a sweaty BMW a few days ago, do you want to go and see it?"

"No," Er Zhuyan replied lifelessly

"By the way, does Miss remember the little black dog that was caught by Miss a few days ago? I heard that she is a dog mother, should we go to see the baby dog" Pu Juan thought of other topics and wanted to divert Er Zhuyan's attention, but they were all rejected.

"Ajuan, you go down first! I want to be alone" Er Zhuyan looked at her, said lightly, and then ignored her.

"Miss" Pu Juan called out to her weakly in her heart, only to feel that Zhu Yan's tears of grievance were about to fall. She knew that Er Zhuyan must have wanted to cry at this time, but she couldn't shed tears easily. I remember one time, Er Zhuyan and the third lady quarreled over a string of sugar gourds, and Yeyana also taught her a lesson for this, from then on, no matter how much she was wronged, Er Zhuyan would not cry easily, even if she really cried sometimes, it was also her disguise.

To tell the truth, Pu Juan has been with Er Zhuyan since she was seven years old, and she has been inseparable all day long, sometimes even what Er Zhuyan thinks, no need for Er Zhuyan to say, she frowned slightly, Pu Juan knows what he is thinking, but now, she really doesn't know what Er Zhuyan is thinking in her heart. I just feel that the original innocent and lively young lady now has her own heart.

Pu Juan left unwillingly, and Er Zhuyan sat alone. I only felt that behind the willow tree in the lotus pond, I could always feel that there was a pair of eyes staring at her strangely, but Er Zhuyan didn't seem to notice it.
