Tang Bi was depressed when he saw Chu De leaving, and he was still unhappy, and he wanted to find someone to talk to again. Suddenly realizing that the master who usually dwells in front of him was not in front of him, he was not suspicious, and hurriedly asked the lieutenant at the door: "Where is Mr. Gao?" Go and call him into the marshal's mansion to see me. ”
After the Chinese army got the order, they hurriedly went out of the house to find Gao Keren. At this moment, a henchman ran into a henchman colonel from outside and handed the letter in his hand to Tang Bi.
Tang Bi was shocked, and hurriedly looked at the envelope of the letter, seeing that it was an urgent letter from Yin Yue, the current defense governor of the two cities on the eastern front, he hurriedly opened it and looked at it carefully.
It turned out that Yin Yue urgently reported that Beihai County, which was located between Donglai County and Zibo City, surrendered to the Jin army that came to attack Linzi City, the county capital, without any resistance. This also made Beihai County, Donglai County, and Donghai County the three peninsulas of the three counties united, cutting off most of the entire Shandong Peninsula. It also caused Tang Bi's power in Qi County to be greatly damaged, how could Tang Bi not be angry?
"Kong Lingze is really a villain! After reading that he was a saint earlier, the government asked him to take the position of Beihai Pastor, not wanting this person to be so immoral and shameless, so he surrendered before fighting. Villain! Villain too! Tang Bi was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at the case, scolding angrily.
The lieutenant of the Chinese military academy who came back to report did not dare to go any further when he saw this, and he was hesitating when he retreated.
"This mansion asked you to invite Mr. Gao, why are you the only one here?" Tang Bi saw that the person who entered the door came in with the Chinese army but did not speak, and was stunned there, so he asked loudly.
"Report to the lord, the little one went to the Gao Mansion, but the Gao Mansion was empty except for an old woman guarding the door. Mr. Gao is also missing. ”
"Huh? But why? Tang Bi asked puzzledly, forgetting about Beihai County for a while.
The old woman who was guarding the door said to the little one that Mr. Gao and his family had left Jinan Mansion the night before yesterday. Master Gao also left home alone yesterday afternoon, and never came back, and his whereabouts are unknown. I think I have already left Jinan Mansion. ”
"Puff ---"
Tang Bi listened to the words of the Chinese army, his legs weakened, and he sat on the handsome chair. Tang Bi suddenly woke up at this time, this is the staff he has always relied on, Master Gao, has followed his family, and quietly fled from Jinan Mansion without saying a word, just like the Gao family fled from the Jizhou River to here.
"Drive the old janitor away and return the Gao family manor to the government." Tang Bi whispered to the lieutenant of the middle military academy. The Chinese army nodded and walked away.
Today is really an extremely gloomy day for Tang Bi, and all he gets is bad news. After suffering a series of blows, Tang Bi seemed to have his whole spirit drained away, and he even had less strength to speak. After relieving himself on the handsome chair for most of the day, he staggered up and walked to the back room, leaving behind a back full of the word "down".
It's just that the allied forces in Tongguan on the Western Front were wiped out in the First World War, and the greater blow of the kings being captured is still on the way, Tang Bi is still in the dark, and he is still silently thinking in his heart that there will be good news on the Western Front, chatting with **.
Also worried about Tang Bi, the king of Jinan, was Shan Xiongxin, who fled back to Rencheng in Lu County.
After paying 20,000 war horses for tolls, the heroes of the rivers and lakes went all the way east to return to Lu County after leaving the land of right and wrong, and when they passed through the periphery of Luoyang, they saw hundreds of thousands of Jin troops besieging Wang Shichong's Luoyang, and the heroes felt even more shocked in their hearts. All the way non-stop, I went back to my hometown in Lu County. Along the way, many soldiers in the army took advantage of the chaos to escape, and Shan Xiongxin and others couldn't stop drinking, so they had to go with him in the end.
After returning to Rencheng, there were less than 40,000 soldiers left, and half of them fled along the way. This made the generals who returned to Rencheng feel discouraged. Even Cheng Yanjin, who has always had no heart and lungs and spoke openly, was like an eggplant beaten by frost, just drinking and not talking. On this expedition, the losses of the minions who came over to gather in Changyeling with You Junda were the heaviest among the troops, and most of them were consumed, which made You Junda, who has always been stingy, full of complaints about Cheng Biting Jin, the troublemaker of the loser.
"Brothers, why be unhappy? When the people are scattered, I will wait for the recruitment, as long as you and my brother are safe. Wei Zheng saw that the atmosphere at the banquet was depressing, and all the brothers were drinking stuffy wine, so he explained.
"Master Wei, it's okay for my men to disperse some people, but I just trapped Xu Daochang in Tongguan, I don't know whether I live or die, how can my brothers drink happily?" Shan Xiongxin put down his wine glass and said to Wei Zheng.
"Huh! Poor Dao has already pinched his fingers, Mao Gong will definitely be fine, and he will return to Rencheng to meet you and my brother in the morning and evening. Wei Zheng said to everyone with a smile after taking a sip of wine.
"Oh? Is this true? Shan Xiongxi asked in disbelief, and all the brothers at the table looked at Wei Zheng with a puzzled look on his face.
"Huh! If you do not believe, send for them at the gate of the city. ”
"Huh! Wei Lao Dao and I don't believe it, and I don't want others to wait, just go to the city gate to have a look, sober up and go back later. Cheng bit Jin and drank a few glasses of spirits, and he was stingy and wanted to go in person. Everyone didn't take it seriously, they just laughed at Wei Zheng to appease everyone. Seeing that Cheng Biting Jin took Wei Zheng's words of relief seriously, they all laughed.
After Cheng Yanjin went out, everyone was in a much better mood during the banquet, no longer as depressed as before, and there was some laughter during the banquet. Wei Zheng didn't say much after watching it, just drinking alone on the side.
After a while, seeing that this homecoming banquet was about to end, suddenly, he rushed into You Junda's intimate servant from outside, and saw You Junda and shouted: "The main family, the second master really brought back Xu Junshi from the city gate." ”
Suddenly, the banquet was clean, and everyone was caught off guard, as if they were listening to an incredible story.
"Huh! Poor Dao said a long time ago that Mao Gong has returned. I'll be there to meet you. Wei Zheng came back to his senses first and hurriedly reminded everyone.
"Huh! Let's go, brothers, and I'll go and see. Shan Xiongxin said with a smile.
During the banquet, more than ten people stopped drinking Yaxing, and they all got up and followed the two of them to the outside of the mansion. As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Cheng Yanjin smiling not far away, holding the reins of the horse with one hand and walking in front of him. Looking at this person again, although he was tired, he couldn't hide the fortitude in his eyes, who was Xu Maogong?
"Second brother Shan, Lao Cheng took this bull-nosed old way, and it was really as Daochang Wei said, I only waited at the door for less than half an hour before I saw a horse galloping in the distance, and when I got closer, it was really Daochang Xu. I've already touched it, this old Taoist is hot, it's a human and not a ghost, it's really weird. ”
As they spoke, the two of them came to the crowd. Wei Zheng, Shan Xiongxin and others all stepped forward to greet Xu Maogong and welcomed Xu Maogong into the mansion.
"Huh! My brothers and I were still thinking about the military advisor, and I didn't want to be really moved by our sincerity, so the military advisor returned safely. Quickly remove the remnants of the table, rearrange the wine and food, and we should congratulate the return of the military advisor. Shan Xiongxin saw Xu Maogong coming back, as if he had a backbone again, so he invited all the brothers not to leave, and stayed to accompany Xu Maogong to drink a few more cups. Everyone had no objections, and they were happy for a while, so they should re-sit with Shan Xiongxin. The atmosphere of the banquet was completely different from before.
After three glasses of wine, Qin Qiong first asked, "Brother Junshi has returned, can you know the recent situation of the kings of Hanguguan?" ”
"Alas! Fortunately, the poor road walks fast, and if you take a step at night, you can't get out of it. Li Mi originally wanted to let his troops break away from the allies, but he was a step slow and was blocked back by the Jin army. Poor Dao happened to meet the Luo Cheng brothers at the mouth of the gorge, and under his mediation, he was able to get out of Hangu Pass and save his life. The kings have been besieged and have no food, presumably they have been defeated, but the news has not yet come, but the overall situation has been decided, and there is nothing to change. Xu Maogong said with a few glasses of wine, and his face returned to some of his previous expressions.
Everyone was embarrassed and couldn't believe it.
"Dao Chief, did the hundreds of thousands of horses against the Central Plains really be defeated in one fell swoop?" Shan Xiongxin still doesn't believe it.
"Alas! You can't go wrong. Unless you dare to risk entering the primeval jungle in the south, you may be able to escape a few people and return. Even so, it will not work, there is no food in the army. Xu Maogong waved the feather fan in his hand and said affirmatively.
"Brother Junshi, if the kings descend, will they be treated well by the King of Jin?" Qin Qiong asked in a low voice.
"Poor Dao once calculated a hexagram for the kings on the road, and the hexagram is extremely dangerous, and I am afraid that it will not survive!"
"Huh? This ---" everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they were even more relieved that they and other brothers could escape this catastrophe.
"Alas! Now the situation is rotten. Seeing that the nest of Wang Shichong of Luoyang must be broken by the Jin army, it was the Pei Yun Department of the Jin army that originally attacked Luoyang, and now the two Jin army victorious hundreds of thousands of men and horses will free up their hands, and their next step will inevitably take advantage of the emptiness of the Central Plains states to sweep the states south, and we are waiting for this Lu country to be in the peak of its soldiers, how to protect ourselves? Suddenly, during the banquet, Wang Bodang said loudly.
These words were like a hammer sweeping away all the wine in the banquet, and they couldn't help but look at each other, each face showed a look of horror, and there was nothing to say.
"Brother Dao Chang, as Bodang said, where should I go in Lu Country? I hope my brother will teach me. Shan Xiongxin also asked in a panic for a while, with the current strength in hand, he couldn't make any resistance.
"Fang Cai asked about the bite of gold on the road, and learned that the situation of our army was worrying. The Jin army will inevitably go south, and most of them are elite cavalry, and the peak of the army is prosperous, and it is not for us to stop. Moreover, our country is along the new canal, even if Yang Guang, the king of Jin, can spare our lives and do not take it, he will inevitably seize our territory. Our army is weak and has no strength to fight again, so we should abandon this place and throw ourselves elsewhere. After Xu Maogong finished speaking, he looked at everyone, and exchanged glances with Wei Zheng, only to see Wei Zheng nodding frequently.
Just when everyone was still hesitating during the banquet, a person broke in outside the door, came to Shan Xiongxin and said, "Your lord, this is my lord's letter, instructing the villain to let the king decide quickly." ”
"Oh? Could it be that something happened to Brother Jun Ke? Shan Xiongxin hurriedly opened the letter as he spoke, his face suddenly changed drastically, and he handed the letter to Xu Maogong beside him with trembling hands, and he sat down decadently and said nothing.
"Brothers, the situation is even worse now. This is an urgent letter from my brother Jun Ke of Surabaya City, which said that Langya County, which is now adjacent to our country, has been occupied by the Jin army, and the original Jianghuai army Du Fuwei has surrendered to the Jin army, and in a blink of an eye, it has become a trump card in the hands of Yang Guang, the king of Jin. Xue Wanche, the general of the current Jin army, defended Pingyi City, which was adjacent to Surabaya, but only defended but did not attack. The main force of the Jin army went north to attack Jinan Province. From this point of view, the situation of our Lu country is even more dangerous than that of the Central Plains states. You can't stay here for a long time, otherwise you will be killed by the Jin army from the north and south! ”
Xu Maogong's words caused everyone to scream in astonishment.
"The wind is strong, the wind is tight, the brothers are pulling the fire---" Cheng Biting Jin jumped to his feet and shouted.
"Brother Junshi, let's talk about a place to go, isn't there a place for my brother to stay in this big world?" Qin Qiong asked anxiously.
"Yang Guang, the king of Jin, went south this time to use troops against the kings, called opening a canal, which was actually to take the opportunity to cut the domain. Many feudal towns north of the Yangtze River were defeated through Tongguan and had no combat power. The millions of Jin troops went south, and no one could stop them. There is no place for us to stand in this Central Plains. Xu Mao shook his head helplessly while shaking his feather fan beside him.
"Brother Dao Chang, don't you want me to wait for the King of Jin to descend? This ---," Shan Xiongxin asked hesitantly.
"Poor Dao said before that the kings of the Central Plains will not end well, and we can't surrender now. There is only one place to wait. ”
"Old Xu Dao, if you have something to say, don't rush to death Lao Cheng." Cheng Yanjin saw that Xu Maogong was still selling Guanzi, so he couldn't help but be anxious and asked.
"Brothers, do you remember Chai Shao at the birthday banquet of Shubao's mother last year? At that time, he had the heart of forming a good relationship with my green forest, and now that Jinyang Tang is seeking virtuous and virtuous people, we can only abandon this land of the four wars of Lu County to vote for it. ”
Xu Mao said it publicly, and everyone whispered and discussed.
"Brother Junshi, if you vote for Jinyang, you will have to pass through Hedong County, how can you get there?" Qin Qiong said.
"I have lived in Luzhou, Hedong for a long time, and I also have a good personal relationship with Chai Sichang, so we will definitely stay with each other when we go to vote. Just if they want to go, they can only disperse, and these tens of thousands of soldiers can only be dispersed. Shan Xiongxin said.
"It's better to go back to the cottage and be happy." Cheng Yanjin shouted.
"If it was before, you brothers should have been able to go back to the cottage, but now you can't. King Yang Guang of the Jin Dynasty was ruthless, that is, he could not tolerate the towns and could not tolerate the green forest cottages everywhere, and in the territory under his jurisdiction, the large and small cottages were all exterminated, and the cottages could not be returned. Wei Zheng said to stop.
"I'm waiting to follow my brother to join Tang Gong in Jinyang, thinking that I can also use my skills for Tang Gong, and besides, he originally had a few brothers on my Green Forest Road to work for him." Jia Yanfu got up and said.
"That's right! They all went to vote for Tang Gong together. He also has my brothers Sheng Yanshi, Han Chengbao and Ding Tianhu. It's also good to go to the brotherhood. He Jingjue said with a smile. Everyone nodded yes.
"So when the brothers had dispersed, they began to dismiss their men, and if they wished to follow, they scattered with the people. All the families with their families also made some preparations, and after three days, they scattered out of the city one after another. Xu Maogong saw that the basic opinions were unified, so he ordered. He also knew in his heart that there would be some of the brothers who had other ideas and did not want to follow, but it was inconvenient to explain them thoroughly during the banquet.
It is said that when Qin Qiong returned home, his wife Zhang was waiting for him, taking off his official robe and serving tea to quench his thirst. Qin Qiong remained silent, her heart heavy. At this time, the old lady Ning turned out of the room.
"Son! I just listened to Qin An in the back hall, and it seemed that he was going to move away from here and go to the north, but really? ”
"Mother, the child is not filial to let the mother be displaced with the child, there is about to be a war here, so you need to go to the north to Jinyang to take refuge, and the child is also anxious about this matter."
"Alas! Since we have taken refuge in the Northlands, why don't you go to your uncle and girl? Your uncle can also use your skills, and there is Luo Cheng as your companion. ”
"Mother, now Luo Cheng's cousin is not in Zhuo County, but has voted for the Jin King Yang Guang as a general, and now he is now the official to the general of Zhengxi."
