Luo Cheng heard this unique reward and hurriedly looked at Wei Chigong beside him.
Wei Chigong was also stunned when he first heard it, and when he saw Luo Cheng laughing, he immediately grinned.
"Huh! What the lord gave was exactly what Lao Hei wanted, if it weren't for the girl's beauty like a fairy, Lao Hei would have already destroyed the flowers with her hands and made her a ghost under the whip. ”
"Hehehehe---" all three laughed.
Then, Yang Er waved his hand to let Luo Cheng take Lieutenant Chi Gong down, and he looked at the military report on the table again and fell into deep thought.
Among the 8 people who were burned to death by a fire, Tang Bi, the king of Jinan, was missing, and his brother Tang Xian became his substitute ghost. The others were all feudal lords who had been sealed by their fathers, and they were originally all meritorious ministers of the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty. According to the law of the Great Sui, he should be escorted back to Beijing and handed over to his father and emperor, and now he has overstepped his responsibilities, although it is not his intention, but this is indeed a result he wants, no wonder Zhang Heng and Li Jing, he has merit. It's just that it will provoke criticism from the court anyway. Accidental fire? This reason is really just a cover-up and stealing the bell! Alas! Yang Er couldn't help but scratch his head a little when he thought of this.
At this time, Wang Dai and Chuchen walked into the house hand in hand with a few freshly picked fruits, and saw Yang Er in a daze in front of the case, so he beckoned: "Husband, let go of everything in your hands first, come and taste the fruits picked by the concubine and the sister of Chuchen in the back mountain." ”
Seeing this, Yang Er retracted his face in shock, got up and came to the tea case, picked up a red mountain peach and put it in his mouth. After taking a sip, the mouth was full of fragrance, and the juice flowed down the corners of the mouth, and suddenly the troubles in my heart were thrown aside.
"What a sweet and crisp peach!" "Click--click--" Yang Er praised as he chewed.
"Husband, can you guess what Sister Chen said about this mountain peach?"
"Huh! Even in the words of beauty, it is difficult to describe the deliciousness of this mountain peach. What did Sister Izumi say? ”
"Huh! Sister Izuchen didn't know which of her masters she had heard, but she actually said that this mountain peach is a fairy peach that grows from the aura of mountains and rivers, and eating one can not only live for ten years! There is also the effect of strengthening the essence and strengthening the original, tonifying the kidney and maintaining health, why don't you eat a few more to make up for it? Wang Dai looked at Chuchen and said with a smile.
"Sister, why did I say that?" After listening to Wang Dai's jokes, Chuchen's face turned red with shame, and he didn't dare to look at Yang Er's eyes.
Capital.
The Battle of Tonghan ended with a complete victory for Yang Guang, the king of the Jin Dynasty in Hedong. The battle situation also spread to the capital, like a bombshell exploding. However, only Emperor Ouchi Wen was concealed by the crown prince Yang Yong and the king of Yue Yang Su because he was not in court for a long time.
On this day, Yang Su took Su Wei, Han Hong and Yu Wenkai to the prince's mansion to discuss the changes that would be ushered in after the war.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, although the war in the Central Plains has not yet ended, more than 500,000 people of Wang Shichong, Shen Faxing and other kings were all killed in Tonghan and Liangguan, and in addition to Jinan Tangbi, the other 7 kings of the Central Plains were also assassinated by Yang Guang. There is no suspense in the Central Plains War, and Jinan Tangbi is lucky not to die, but it should not survive this summer. Su Wei arched his hand and said to the crown prince Yang Yong, and looked at Yang Su, who had not yet spoken.
"Uncle Huang, the overall situation of the Central Plains has been decided, and the King of Jin is even more powerful! I don't know what Uncle Huang means? Yang Yong asked Yang Su, who was bowing his head and groaning.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the old man is thinking that if the King of Jin exterminated the vassals and made such a great contribution to the court, the emperor would have to look down on the King of Jin, which is extremely unfavorable to His Royal Highness the Prince's succession."
"Yes---Yes---" After listening to Yang Su's analysis, several people in the audience nodded in agreement, and even Yang Yong couldn't help nodding when he heard it.
"Yue Gong should think of a plan to hinder the momentum of King Jin. Otherwise, the situation will be very bad for us! The right prime minister, Han Hong, said to Yang Su, his face was full of melancholy.
"Uncle Huang has a way?" Yang Yong asked anxiously.
"Alas! If the kings are sent back to Beijing, if we save their lives in front of the emperor, there is still room for maneuver, and the remnants of the kings can still be owned by us. It's just that he didn't want Yang Guang, the king of Jin, to kill decisively, but he burned all the kings to death with a fire. We can use external forces to lose it, alas! Yang Su said with a sigh.
"Yue Gong, could it be that we can only sit back and watch Yang Guang become bigger, and sit still in this capital to be killed?" Yang Yong's staff member Duan Da asked anxiously.
Duan Daxiu was rude and retreated. Uncle Huang has his own ideas. Yang Yong scolded his personal staff, which can be regarded as giving Yang Su enough face.
"Your Highness, there is only one way now, if it is successful, it will break the mind of the King of Jin and make his army discouraged." Yang Su stared at Yang Yong and whispered, seeing that Yang Yong didn't understand what he meant, he looked at Yu Wenkai, the think tank beside him, and saw Yu Wenkai nodding silently at him.
"The more public you can speak directly, there are no outsiders here." Ji Wei, the eunuch standing behind Yang Yong, couldn't help but be a little anxious when he saw Yang Su talking, and asked for his master Yang Yong.
"Your Highness, now that the emperor has been ill for a long time, all the facts in the world are under the control of the prince. If the emperor does Zen again, His Royal Highness must not shirk the subordinate, and he will be able to command the world if he ascends to the throne early, and Yang Guang, the king of Jin, will also have to bow down to his ministers. If the King of Jin returns to the dynasty after victory, the emperor will never dare to hand over the throne to His Royal Highness again because of his high merit. ”
"Hmmm! Oh, yes! Yue Gong's words are true! Su Wei whispered.
Yang Yong nodded when he heard this, because as a prince, he knew very well that his father's character had always been stable, even if it was to appease his younger brother's meritorious soldiers, so as not to cause chaos, he did not dare to pass the throne to himself easily.
"If my father doesn't mention the matter of Zen concession, wouldn't it still be equivalent to sitting and waiting to die?" Yang Yong stared at Yang Su with a fierce look in his eyes and said.
"The old man will enter the palace tomorrow to visit the emperor and find out. If the emperor intends to make concessions, if he still procrastinates, then there is only ---" Yang Su looked at Yang Yong's eyes and said viciously, and finally made a gesture with his right palm to cut down.
Everyone looked at Yang Su's gesture, and immediately panicked, not daring to speak. Yang Yong looked calm, got up and paced back and forth, and kept folding the folding fan in his hand to consider.
"My father is old and has been ill for a long time, and he can't go to the court to govern the government, so he wanted to teach Zen to give way to me. And wait for the emperor's uncle to enter the palace tomorrow to inquire, and then discuss it, what the secretary said today must not be passed on, understand? Yang Yong said.
"Yes. The ministers retired. Yang Su saw that his proposal was not vetoed by Yang Yong, so he knew it, got up and bowed his hand to say goodbye, and then led a few people out of the prince's mansion.
After sending Su Wei and Han Hong away, Yang Su whispered to Yu Wenkai, who was returning in the same car: "It seems that the matter that you and I are discussing should be carried out, and Mr. can go and prepare first." ”
"Yue Gong, Xia Guan knew that there was this day, and he was already ready." Yu Wenkai said with a sneer.
"Hmmm! Let's talk about it when we go home. ”
Yang Su's carriage walked all the way towards Yue Wangfu.
Then turn your gaze back to Luoyang, Zhongzhou.
At this time, Luoyang had been surrounded by Pei Yun's army for nearly ten days. During this period, Pei Yun also adopted several strong attacks on the city at the request of Hua Gongyi and other generals, but they were all repelled by the Luoyang army guarding the high city wall. Pei Yun had no way to break the city for a while, so he had to besiege the city on the spot without attacking, but it aroused the dissatisfaction of his generals, and they went to the Chinese military tent to ask Pei Yun for an explanation.
"Dashuai, why don't you use the method of capturing Luokou City? Don't use the powerful iron cannon, and hurt your corporals in vain? Hua asked incomprehensibly.
"The marshal said the day before yesterday that the lord has ordered this Luoyang city to be an ancient city of nearly a thousand years, and it is not suitable to build a city, and its prosperity is better than that of the capital. Originally, there were several palaces in the city, the most important. If it is bombarded with iron cannons, the city will be reduced to powder like Luokou Castle. Therefore, the lord did not let the commander attack with artillery. Pei Yun explained here.
"The marshal doesn't need to be attacked, the Luoyang defenders are at least 100,000, and most of them are Wang Shichong's elite left-behind soldiers, and there are also henchmen Guo Shiheng and military adviser Yang Gongqing commanding one article and one martial arts. The two armies are at loggerheads, and they will be disadvantageous to our army for a long time! Hua Gongyi said anxiously.
"General Justice, the lord also said that we just need to surround Luoyang and prevent it from sending troops west to reinforce Tongguan. Now that Wang Shichong and other anti-kings have been blocked by the lord in Hangu Pass, then Wang Shichong and other anti-kings have hundreds of thousands of horses and horses that have no supply of grain and grass in Luoyang, and they will be defeated in a few days. All we have to do is wait here for the Lord's good news. ”
"But---" Hua Gongyi was about to say more, when he saw the curtain of the Chinese army lifted, walked into a Chinese military captain, stepped forward and handed over the two letters to Pei Yun, and then got up and went out of the big tent.
"Good! What a big victory! After that, he slapped the letter in the anxious hand of Hua Gongyi, got up and shouted: "Now that the war on the Western Front is over, don't worry about Tongguan!" The anti-king of the Central Plains is like a rabble, and it has died out. ”
"Huh! Marshal, I don't want this anti-king to be so unbeaten, not only defeated but also killed, if the news reaches the city, the defenders will be in turmoil, and they have no intention of fighting again! Feasible Lord's plan also! Hua Gongyi laughed heartily, and the gloom on his face suddenly disappeared.
"Exactly! Please choose a clever general, and take Wang Shichong's handwritten letter to persuade him to surrender into the city, saying that Guo Shiheng and Yang Gongqing will surrender the city. ”
"If you have an order, the last general will do it in person." With that, Hua Gongyi hurriedly ran out of the big tent with another letter.
"Huh! The lord has a good plan! Looking at the back of Hua Gongyi, who ran happily, Pei Yun stroked his beard and smiled.
Luoyang Marshal Mansion.
At this time, Yang Gongqing and Guo Shiheng were relatively speechless. On the table is the letter of persuasion written by Wang Shichong, the king of Luoyang, who was personally sent into the city by the generals of the Jin army outside the city, and this letter was written to the two of them.
"No, the more than 500,000 troops of the lord's alliance are exhausted, and the lord's lords and other kings are also captured. General Guo, this is written by the lord himself, let you and I sacrifice the city to surrender to the Jin army, and a certain intention to go out of the city to accept the surrender, what is the general's heart? Yang Gongqing, as a civil minister, only felt that Wang Shichong would obey the order if he asked the city to surrender, and he had no objection.
"Alas! Since the lord's net worth and life are in the hands of the Jin army, if we don't surrender, we will trap the lord in a disadvantageous place, it is disloyal, and if we surrender, we will surrender! Although Guo Shiheng was unconvinced, he had to bow his head at this time.
"The herald, and the white flag was raised at the head of the city. The whole army went out of the city and asked the Jin army to surrender. Yang Gongqing loudly ordered to the generals in the tent, and then sat down softly, feeling weak.
Soon, the city was filled with white flags asking for surrender.
Immediately, the city gate was opened, Yang Gongqing was in front, holding the handsome seal with both hands, and a clerk behind him was holding a thick stack of household registration documents with both hands. Guo Shiheng and other generals also abandoned their weapons, and then walked out, and a group of civil and military officers came to Pei Yun's Chinese army tent, and handed over the leading seal and household registration book to Pei Yun.
Pei Yun led the generals to receive the Great Seal on behalf of Yang Guang, the king of Jin, and then treated the Luoyang civil and military who surrendered favorably.
At this point, this large city in the Central Plains was returned intact to Yang Guang, the king of Jin, and received 100,000 well-equipped troops in the city.
"General Hua Gongyi, here is the commander sitting and waiting for the arrival of the lord. Order you and other generals to immediately divide 150,000 troops according to the will of the lord and go south to sweep the states. After Pei Yun rectified Luoyang City for two days, he ordered Hua Gongyi again.
"The last general obeyed the order, and immediately led the troops south to recover the Central Plains land for the lord, and asked the lord to wait for good news in Luoyang City." This is the moment that Hua Gongyi has been waiting for for a long time, and this day has finally come when he can lead the army to the south to sweep, and all the generals under him are happy.
In the past few days, Tangbi in Jinan Mansion has been really anxious. The Western Luyu Culture and the Jin army of Jizhou had already besieged Jeju Yunseongfu, but they were not in a hurry to attack but still used the method of capturing Puyang, and first sent all kinds of men and horses to Jeju to sweep around except Yuncheng. For several days in a row, almost all of Jeju fell into the hands of the Jin army except for the government of Yuncheng, which made Yuncheng now an isolated city, and Tang Bi could not save it even if he wanted to. Everything depends on how the clan brother Tang Jin and his 100,000 soldiers can hold on without losing.
What especially made Tang Bi angry was that the Allied forces attacking Tongguan on the Western Front had no good news for a long time, and what they received more than ten days ago was that the Allied forces and Yang Lin were in a confrontation with Tongguan City, and they had been fighting for a long time. This slow pace was obviously beyond Tang Bi's expectations, and it also caused him to have insufficient troops and face the onslaught of Jin Junyu Culture and his troops alone.
There is also the status quo of Lu Zhaolin's army pressing the border on the eastern front, which made Tang Bi scratch his head.
"Smack!" Tang Bi couldn't bear it anymore when he looked at the urgent document that had just arrived in his hand, and threw the celadon pen holder in his hand to the ground and smashed it.
"The day before yesterday, I also said that Zibo City defended effectively and blocked Lu Zhaolin's attack, why did you lose it today?" Tang Bi asked the general Chu De on the side angrily and puzzled.
"My lord, there were 30,000 defenders in Zibo City, and the day before yesterday, the Lord sent 20,000 reinforcements, but in fact, less than 10,000 people entered the city. Under the uninterrupted attack of more than 200,000 Jin troops outside the city, the Jin army used fire and thunder to blast open the city gate repeatedly. These 40,000 defenders have struggled to hold on for nearly 6 days, and they have reached their limit. My brother, General Chu Neng, also fled back to Jinan with serious injuries to report the news. Chud replied with a bowed head.
"Alas! Now the two great cities of the East in Zichuan and Zibo have fallen into the hands of the enemy, which has opened the door of the eastern line of our Jinan Prefecture. The two cities of Tingshan and Zhangqiu have become the last barrier of my Jinan Mansion. And my Beihai County --- alas! The more Tang Bi spoke, the more frustrated he became, and he sighed.
"Lord, now I can't take care of Beihai County, we should shrink our forces as soon as possible to stick to the Pavilion and Zhanger City. Send reinforcements to Zhangqiu as soon as possible to help Yin Yue defend the city. ”
"Anyway, transfer all the garrisons of Linyi, Yucheng, and Zouping to the eastern front. General Chu will handle it! ”
"Yes, my lord. The last general then proceeded to transfer troops to various places to aid the Eastern Front. With that, Chud turned and went out.
