"Yes, sir. The last general will shoot the letter of persuasion into the city tomorrow, and perhaps he does not have to wait for the arrival of the commanders, and Yang Yong will go out of the city to accept the surrender. ”
"Huh! Okay, borrowed from Ruji. ”
"Report---, Master Pei Sima of Luzhou, Hedong, has a letter here."
"Show me." Yu Wenhua hurriedly took Pei Shiju's letter from the hands of the Chinese army and expanded it. Immediately, his face darkened, and after reading the letter, he slowly put the letter on the table, and his expression seemed to be in a trance, as if he was at a loss.
"Alas! General Daoxing, please take a look at this letter. ”
Li Jing saw that Yu's culture and face were different, and he was also shocked in his heart, could it be that something happened to Pei Shiju in Luzhou? Li Jing hesitated to take the letter and read it.
"Huh? A good Li Yuan actually sent troops to my Hedong at this time. This must be at the behest of Yang Yong! In Lord Yuwen's book, although Pei Sima does not need to send troops to help, but he took away 100,000 elites of the Luzhou Chinese army battalion, Pei Sima seems to have insufficient troops, can he divide troops to help? ”
"Nope! Pei Sima and Mr. Zhaoxing have already made arrangements, although they are still insufficient, but they should be able to resist for a while. Ben Shuai expected that he Li Yuan would not dare to go south too much, so he only waited for our army to arrive in the capital tomorrow, and forced Yang Yong to give up the throne as soon as possible and sacrifice the jade seal, so Li Yuan's troops going south would retreat. I'm not going to lose an inch. Yu Wenhua said to the generals, more like comforting himself.
"It's good! When he arrives in the capital tomorrow, let the old man go to the city for a walk, and Yang Yong, who will be persuaded, will abdicate. The old man Han Baohu stroked the fluttering silver beard and said softly.
"Huh! It is advisable for the old general not to enter the city first, when Yang Yong, Yang Su and others are hopeless, the old general's words go into his ears, and it is best to persuade him to enter the city at that time. ”
"That's it! That's it, hehe! ”
The Wenhe Hall of the Imperial Palace of the capital.
"Uncle Huang, is the military strength in my imperial city ready? The soldiers of the King of Jin will besiege the city tomorrow. ”
"Your Majesty, don't panic, there are as many as 350,000 defenders in my imperial city, and there is enough grain and grass in the treasury to defend the city."
"Good! All right! So I don't panic. Is the commander guarding the southern city gate Zhang Xutuo? ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the guard of the South City Gate is the 30,000 Hongnong elite soldiers of Zhang Xutuo's department, and the deputy general is the general Zhang Xun. With the two of them guarding the south gate, they will be able to keep the gate safe. ”
"So much for the best! I heard that Li Yuan's Tang army had gone south, and I didn't know if I could lead the besieging Jin army to aid Hedong? ”
"Your Majesty, even if you can't divide the besieging army, it doesn't matter. As long as my imperial city holds on for a few days, the Central Plains will be in chaos, and at that time, the rebels will besiege Luoyang, and Yang Guang will definitely withdraw his troops to save Luoyang. ”
"So much for the best! So it's best ---."
"Your Majesty, if nothing happens, the old minister will retire."
"Go ahead! It is advisable to defend the city, and it is advisable for the emperor's uncle to bother more. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, the old minister knows it."
After Yang Su said goodbye to Yang Yong, he hurriedly returned to his house.
There is already a henchman of Chen Guoguo, Prime Minister Kong Fan, and the confidant room is waiting for it.
"Lao Zhang's office has been waiting for a long time, when my imperial letter arrives there, do you bring back the letter of the queen? The old man's letter to Kong Xiang also doesn't know what Kong Xiang's respect is? After Yang Su and Zhang Kai greeted each other, they sat down.
"Yue Gong is honest, I, Chen Guo, am ready to send troops from Jiangdu to attack Jianghuai Shanyang City in the north, and if I succeed, I will go to attack Xuzhou. Your country asked my lord to send troops to the Central Plains, but because Yang Guang left too many troops everywhere, the defense was very strict, and it was difficult to attack, so it was really difficult to obey his fate! He said with a smile, looking at Yang Su with a pair of sly eyes.
"Huh! The queen of your house is calculating, so good! As long as the momentum of sending troops to Shanyang is bigger, I am not afraid that I will not disturb the mood of King Jin. ”
"Huh! Xia Guan came here to ask Yue Gong the truth by the entrustment of Kong Xiang, if I Chen Guo sent troops to conquer this time, would it belong to my Chen State? As for gold and silver, I have no shortage of Chen Guo. ”
"Please bring a message to Kong Xiang in the chamber, the old man's words today can represent His Majesty the Great Sui, if you don't believe it, the old man can set up a note and bring it back from the chamber. As long as Chen sent troops north to disturb the rear of Yang Guang, the king of Jin, but there were new cities, no matter how big or small, they were all owned by Chen Guo. Is that good? ”
"Huh! As long as there is a letter written by Yue Gong himself. ”
"So please wait, the old man will make a decision." Yang Su looked at the greedy face with a little annoyance, and said angrily. Then he got up and went to the table, and picked up the pen in front of the open face. After writing, I blew the ink, and then took out the seal and stamped it on it.
"Huh! This is a state affair, not to be cautious, I hope the public will forgive me! With that, he folded the precious letter and put it in his bosom.
"I hope that the queen of your family can send troops as soon as possible, don't delay time. Once the Jin King rebels retreat, the old man will still have the benefits to your master. ”
"Well said, well said! When the small one came, 100,000 horses in my country had already arrived in Jiangdu City, and it was estimated that they were already on the way to Shanyang City at this time. It's just that the villain is entrusted by Kong Xiang and has one more thing, please make it convenient for Yue Gongxing? ”
"Oh? What else is going on with Kong Xiang? If the old man can do it, he will not refuse. ”
"The day before yesterday, hundreds of thousands of anti-kings in the Central Plains were buried in Hangu Pass, not because the kings did not move forward, the soldiers were not elite, and it was not that the Jin army was powerful, but because the firearms were strong in the hands of the Jin army. Please Yue Gong try to send me a copy of the firearms production map and gunpowder formula in the Jin Army, and the villain has thanked Yue Gong on behalf of Kong here. ”
"Hey---, this! The old man knew that the firearms in the Jin King Yang Guangjun were powerful, but the old man did not have a firearm production map in his hands, let alone a secret recipe for gunpowder configuration. The old man once sent someone to steal secretly, but he never got his wish. It's just that the firearms and gunpowder inquired about are all from the hands of a man named Ma Shumou, the origin of this Ma Shumou is extremely unknown, and the old man has sent people to check the population files of various prefectures and counties, but there is no news of this person. ”
"Oh? That being the case, the villain will not be embarrassed and fair. It's just that the firearms made by Uncle Ma are quite a threat to you and me Chen Guo, if this person is not removed, sooner or later he will be in trouble! ”
"Hmmm! Zhang Ji Room reminds that. If the old man gets the map and formula, he will send a secret envoy to send Kong Xiang, as for Uncle Ma! Hum! The old man has his own way to get rid of it. ”
"The villain has nothing else to do, so he will leave."
"Please wait in Zhang Ji's room, the old man will not allow you to run this trip in vain, and bring some gifts for yourself. Come on! Give the gift money. ”
Immediately outside the house, a servant came into the house with a tray full of gold in his hand.
"It's just a small courtesy, not a respect, the Wangji room will accept it, and the old man will say hello to Kong Xiang when he returns to the Jiankang era."
"In this way, thank you Yue Gong, Kong Xiangye's little self will talk about it."
"Wrap it up and send it to the pavilion with you." Yang Su instructed his slave.
After sending off Chen Guo's secret envoy, Yang Su pondered alone in the room.
As if he couldn't figure it out, he shouted to the outside of the house, "Come on! Hurry up and invite Mr. Yu Wenkai to the mansion. ”
In early summer, the city of Luoyang in Zhongzhou is like a blazing sun every day, and there is little rain. The city of the Great Sui has already returned to peace, because it has not been invaded by the flames of war, the people of the city are at peace, and the whole city is peaceful inside and outside.
The palace of the original Wang Shichong has changed its signboard and has become the palace of King Jin.
The back garden in the palace, which was already somewhat deserted, has basically been restored to its former vitality after the daily cleaning of Wang Dai, Chuchen and Abeyi. Seasonal red peonies, jasmine, and other flowers compete to meet the sun. In a clear pond, the elegance of water lilies and the nobility of lotus flowers are beautiful in the water. There are also schools of fish of all colors swimming in the dive.
In a pavilion in the middle of the pond, Yang Er was seated, eating a cold ice cream in his hand, and a paper map was spread out on the stone table. There were seven people sitting around the stone table, namely Lu Zhaolin and Xue Wanche, who went to Luoyang to report on their work after the extermination of Tang Wall, Wu Tianxi, Su Dingfang, He Ruobi, the old Guogong, Ling Jing, and Ma Shumou and Li Chun, the ministers of logistics and equipment. Liang Shitai, Zuo Tiancheng and Zhong Jian led a group of pro-soldiers to guard the surroundings.
"Lord, what is this peach ice cream in your mouth on this hot weather, it is cold and delicious, it is really relieving!" Lu Zhaolin said with a smile, and everyone around him was also "Zi Yan--Zi Yan--" Yun sucking different fruity ice creams. Everybody is enjoying it.
"Huh! This is thanks to Minister Ma! Only the saltpeter stored in the storehouse is combined with fresh milk and juice to make this miracle to relieve the heat. If you haven't eaten it, there is still one in this king. And this frozen juice for you to enjoy. ”
"Hehehehehe!" Yang Er's words not only made everyone not restrained, but also made everyone happy.
"Well, the generals are eating and listening to the king. Now that the Central Plains War is basically over, there is no major war except for one or two state capitals in the south, General Hua Gongyi, who is leading the army to suppress China. The Western Front Yu Culture and the siege of the capital by millions of people will also have results in the near future. What is important now is to implement a new land policy on the newly occupied land and to replicate the successful land use experience in Hedong. After this war in the Central Plains, the big gentry and noble families were basically gone, and the rest were some small landlords. How to implement the nationalization of land? How is the land population distributed? The implementation of new land taxes and other livelihood matters was handed over to Mr. Lu to preside. It must be carried out in the shortest possible time in the newly occupied Qi County, Yuzhou, Huazhou, Puzhou, Jeju, Xiangzhou, Bozhou, Caozhou, Songzhou, Mingzhou, and Jianghuai localities. Mr. Ling Jing already had experience in implementing land reform in Jizhou, so he could be Mr. Lu's deputy, and General Xue Wanche and General Hua Gongyi each led their subordinates to cooperate with Mr. Lu and Ling, and if there was resistance, they should be suppressed with all their might. ”
"Yes, the lower officials will act according to orders, strive to implement land reform throughout the territory in the short term, and promote a new land tax system synchronized with Hedong County." Lu Zhaolin got up and arched his hand.
"My lord, the general will definitely cooperate with Mr. Lu to escort the implementation of the new policy." Xue Wanche also got up and answered.
"Good! If you need local officials, you can ask for it from Pei Sima in Luzhou, after the cancellation of the scientific examination due to the war this year, there are many students from all over the world studying in the academy. They can be used to replace officials at all levels in counties, counties, and townships to ensure the effective implementation of the new policy. If there is still a shortage of people, go and transfer Liu Xuan from Donglai, his Donglai County has done a good job. ”
"Lord, so the students in this class who have been enrolled for nearly a year can become officials as needed without going through the assessment? This is a blessing for the world's scholars! Lu Zhaolin said in surprise.
"Yes! Special Events! These students can just use it. However, each student must have a letter of recommendation from Mr. Xue Daoheng before they can be appointed. ”
"Furthermore, it is said that Yang Yong gave Li Yuan of Jinyang a secret decree and ordered him to send troops south to invade our Hedong. General Wu Tianxi Ru was the main general, and General Su Dingfang was the deputy general, and led 150,000 victorious soldiers from his headquarters to immediately cross north to Liyang City to aid Luzhou, and obeyed Pei Sima's dispatch after arriving in Luzhou. Remember to bring a message to Pei Sima, if Li Yuan really dares to send troops south to attack me, then give this king a stick to beat Li Yuan and cripple him. ”
"Subordinates obey." Wu Tianxi and Su Dingfang were overjoyed when they heard the new dispatch.
"Alright, let's get back to the planned excavation of the Tongji Canal! This time, Uncle He was invited to personally open the canal, and Jiao Fang and Wu Kui were still dispatched by Uncle to guard the new canal to dig it. As for the route planning and specific construction matters, it is still mainly by Ma Shumou and Li Jiangshi. It's just that there will be more than 400,000 surrendered troops captured in the Central Plains War in the artificial force of the canal opening this time. ”
"Huh! The old man's self-care channel is smooth on the spot. I just asked His Highness to send me more soldiers, but the old man heard that the Central Plains states were in chaos! One of the 1,800 men under his command dared to proclaim himself king, and lived by robbing everywhere. General Hua Gongyi seems to be distressed by this, and he has been unable to quell these chaos in the states for a long time. He Ruobi stroked his beard and said.
"It's exactly as Uncle He said, but it doesn't hurt to expect it, just press it one by one. At the request of his uncle, the king ordered General Zuo Tiancheng to allocate 20,000 from the defenders of Luoyang to be dispatched by his uncle. ”
"In this way, the old man has 40,000 soldiers to protect the canal in his hands, enough, hehe!" He Ruobi was about to arrive at the general of the soldiers and horses, and he couldn't help but stroke his beard and laugh.
"At the construction site, I hope that Master Ma and Master Li have bothered to schedule, and there are many soldiers involved in the construction this time, so they should pay attention to personal safety."
"The lord can rest assured that the length of the Tongji Canal is similar to that of the Yongji Canal, and there are many large lakes and rivers along the way, and there are many skilled hands accompanying the excavation of the Yongji Canal, and the excavation progress should be faster than the Yongji Canal." Li Chun responded.
Yang Er listened to Li Chun's words, and couldn't help but feel a lot more relieved, seeing that Ma Shumou didn't speak, he looked at Ma Shumou, who was sitting there and seemed to be asleep.
"Don't look at me, I'm a soy sauce beater. I don't have an opinion on what Craftsman Li says. ”
"How did you become a soy sauce maker as a project director, speak well. Don't think about your wife and unborn son all day long, go to the construction site more often, by the way, pay attention to safety. After Yang Er finished speaking, he stopped paying attention to Uncle Ma and looked at everyone again.
"My lord, the queen of Nanchen has already sent troops from Jiangdu to invade my Jianghuai Shanyang City, do you need assistance there?"
"Mr. Lu doesn't have to be nervous, Nan Chen's dispatch of troops is exactly what the king wants, Shanyang City has the king's future Hu'er and General Wu Bao, and there are also Du Fuwei and Fugongshi, who have been based on Jianghuai for a long time, and his subordinates have tens of thousands of troops, so they can easily repel the invading enemy. The river network there is dense, and it is inconvenient for our cavalry to attack, so let the general go to battle with Laihu'er! If tens of thousands of Jiaozhou Bay sailors can be used well, this battle may give this king a big surprise, maybe hehe! ”
"The lord is saying that the sailor attacked Jiangdu ----"
"Shh---, the secret of heaven must not be revealed, I'll wait and see! Hehe! Yang Er interrupted Lu Zhaolin's speculation, made a closed mouth gesture and said with a smile.
"Hehehehehe!" Everyone in the pavilion immediately burst into laughter when they saw Yang Er look like this.
It's as if a door-to-door victory is coming.
