In mid-April, the whole of Jiangxia was almost out of control.

And out of control, Sha Xian was the first to make a mess, not surrendering or fleeing, but breaking out into a civil strife that almost destroyed the entire city.

It is said that the big families of Nanjun and Jiangxia who had gathered here before hoarded about 20,000 people, sat and watched Liu Bei's success or failure, and immediately sent envoys to Xiangyang after Liu Bei's death, trying to surrender. But with the emergence of the 'Peach Blossom Banquet' incident, Cai Mao, Kuai Liang, Zhang Yun and others were executed, and almost all the big families in the entire Nanjun were confiscated.

Under the pressure of the army, of course, some people are still trying to seek the possibility of surrender, but there are also people who know that they are on the list of 'thieves', but they are unwilling to surrender.

As a result, the infighting broke out suddenly without warning, and the two sides continued to attack and kill in the vicinity of Empress Yuan's 'dormitory', as absurd as the Goguryeo civil strife recorded in the small book of "Yan Pingping Goryeo Ji" written by Wang Cang, and finally Empress Yuan had to escape from Shaxian with the emperor's eldest son under the protection of some loyal armor soldiers, and went to Sanjiangkou to join her brother-in-law Jingze.

As soon as Empress Yuan left, Sha Xian no longer even had the last chance of restoring order by himself, but he was calmly captured by the Jingzhou Navy led by Wen Ping, the general of Nanjun.

On April 18, Han Dang led a large army into Shaxian, and almost as soon as he arrived here, he went on a killing spree!

First of all, against the rebellion itself, there are indeed murderers and looters, and once they are identified or found to be thieves, they will be executed immediately! Then, all the soldiers were killed again and the officers were killed on May 1st, so as to be responsible for the chaos in this war! Then, according to the law of Yan State, in response to the refusal to surrender, there was a law of marching again, and the officer was killed twice and elevenly!

This is not over, after the chaos is dealt with, Han Yi Gongfu will follow Liu Xuande's list of thieves, and all those who are the leaders of the families on the list will be killed! In the end, all these children of the families in the army were escorted to the north and sent to Yinshan Labor Reform!

After this circle of killing, Sha Xian completely quieted down, not to mention, across a Sanjiang estuary, Xiling City, which was already on the verge of civil strife, actually quieted down.

On the twenty-third day of April, after Han Dang finished killing people, Zhang Zhao sent the two counties of Yuzhang and Danyang from the southern region of Jiangxia that had already bordered Jiangdong as a left-behind guard. And on the second day, the Jingze Jingche rider of Sanjiangkou returned to Xiling almost alone and asked to meet the Son of Heaven.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you see it or not at this time, Xiao Tianzi is also waiting for him to make the decision. The two gentlemen and ministers met, and without waiting for Liu Xie to walk down the steps and cry, Jing Ze, who entered the 'palace', got straight to the point.

"Your Majesty." Jing Youxi's eyes are sunken, his eyes are bloodshot, and his hair is withered, which is caused by the great man's dedication, and this description is in stark contrast to the gorgeous brocade robe and seal ribbon on his body. "Let's go!"

Liu Xie stopped his tears, his eyes were red, but he was neither angry nor relieved: "Beijing car ride, in the past few days, I have heard this more than a hundred times......

"Then why don't you come down?" Kyozawa lost his mind and asked.

"If Qing himself had come to me a few days ago, I might have come down." The eighteen-year-old Son of Heaven earnestly replied. "But after the Peach Blossom Banquet and the recent Shaxian Massacre, I and Taiwei talked about each other, and they were all afraid that Han Dang was here to be Wu Han!"

Wu Han is one word, Jing Ze is speechless.

In other words, Wu Hannai in Liu Xie's mouth is the second great Han hero of the Yuntai Twenty-Eight Generals. In history, Liu Xie's ancestor Liu Xiu was able to recreate Yan Han, and the credit of this person and the personal relationship between this person and Liu Xiu are needless to say! Basically, Deng Yu, the ancestor of Deng Zhi on the side, is only one head behind, and he is the one with the greatest credit and the deepest foundation among the generals, so it seems really appropriate to compare Han Dang with Wu Han.

However, Liu Xie's example at this time is not about any merits, but about a historical case.

In history, Wang Mang was in turmoil, the world fell apart, Liu Xiu recreated the Yan Han, and in the end, it was the most tossed in Long and Shu, especially the grandson of the son of heaven in Shu. The grandson of the Emperor, known as the White Emperor, first publicly debated the Mandate of Heaven with Liu Xiu on the basis of the Mandate of Heaven, and then successively assassinated Liu Xiu's generals Lai Xi and Peng Cen, and finally forced Guangwu to send Wu Han.

And this time, Wu Han naturally succeeded in breaking through Shu, but after entering Shu, he slaughtered the whole family, the old and young, as well as the best among the generals, the famous families of Shu, were almost slaughtered by him! And set fire to Gongsun Shu's palace!

Afterwards, Liu Xiu was naturally furious, and publicly reprimanded Wu Han for this move to lose the meaning of hanging the people, and his words were fierce, almost called 'severe condemnation'.

Of course, condemnation is condemnation, but it does not delay Wu Han from Shu as soon as he comes out of Shu to replace Liu Xiu to worship his ancestors, does not delay Wu Han to continue to enter the phase, and does not delay his death when he is buried in the specifications of Huo Guang in history, let alone delay the Han Dynasty and his person is recognized as the second and right-hand man of Guangwu.

In fact, anyone with a little political common sense behind this matter probably understands what is going on...... Of course, the Later Han Dynasty would not discuss it publicly, but over the years, especially when the Yan army attacked Shu before, various discussions inevitably involved this matter, and many people simply said publicly that this was Liu Xiu's signal, or that Wu Han figured out Liu Xiu's intentions!

As for Liu Xiu's public condemnation later, some of it was sincere, and some of it was because he said that 'the king is not a chaotic minister and a thief' when he talked about the Mandate of Heaven with Gongsun before, which implied that he would spare the other party's political promise, so he had to make a show...... I'm afraid it's really hard to say!

So the question is, Han Dang is a kind of person, not to mention whether he has received a hint from Gongsun Xun, that is, no, with his political foundation, not to mention slaughtering Jiangxia, he directly slaughtered Liu Xie and killed the entire Jiangxia small court, delaying him as the head of the Great Yan Wuxun?

Don't delay!

As the saying goes, what your ancestors did, I can't do?

Moreover, the Gongsun family and the Liu family are transferred back and forth, and it is really the will of heaven!

If that's the case, everyone gave their lives in vain, which is nothing more than a condemnation from Gongsun Xun! Maybe this condemnation and self-blame can still be announced!

But that's about it.

In fact, after hearing the word Wu Han, Lian Jingze didn't know how to dispel the doubts of the Son of Heaven...... Because he wasn't sure if Han Dang would privately solve the trouble for the sake of Gongsun Xun.

"Of course, I also know that Han Yigong really wants to kill, and now we are just sitting and waiting to be killed." Xiao Tianzi seemed to have thought a lot, but he spoke thoroughly on the steps in front of Jing Ze. "So if you think about it carefully, I am unwilling to surrender and then die, and in vain become the laughing stock of others; Second, it doesn't matter if I die, but the emperor is still in infancy, and the two nobles have nothing to rely on! ”：

Kyozawa's heart moved slightly.

And the Son of Heaven continued to sigh: "Think about it carefully, the two nobles lost their whole clan for me, and they fell here with me, and the three of them have depended on each other for many years, how can they not be pitied?" There is also the emperor, although the queen and I do not agree, but since the rebellion of Dong Yuan, I am a lonely family, a royal descendant of the Han family, only this continues, it is also a pity! ”

"Your Majesty, please step back and ......" After thinking for a long time, after hearing this, Jing Ze finally seemed to have made up his mind. The minister has something to say to His Majesty. ”

The Son of Heaven didn't have any unexpected feelings, but just raised his hand and motioned for Deng Zhi and the others to leave: "I can probably guess that General Che Cai must have received information from the Yan Army at the mouth of the Sanjiang River...... I want to hear about it, too. ”

"General Han Yigong does have a message to Sanjiangkou, if His Majesty can surrender, he can have the treatment of a hereditary Marquis of Wanhu, and go to live near the Zhao Wang's clan where His Majesty's mother clan is located; If you don't want to be hereditary, you can be promoted from the imperial department after three generations, and you can start from business and agriculture...... It is not forbidden. Jing Ze saw that Deng Zhi and the others in the palace and several attendants were leaving, but he really said something that everyone had expected. It is said that Yan Gong has begun to build a high platform in the north of Luoyang, although there are no exact words, according to the guess of Yan Guoda Sima Lu Ziheng, who has gone to Jingnan to welcome Shi Weiyan, Yan Gong should want to calmly ascend the throne of the Son of Heaven in Luoyang with the gift of Zen, and move the capital by homeopathy! If so......"

"If so, my family's lives may be saved for a while." The Son of Heaven was relieved for a moment, but slowly shook his head. "But what about in the future? After Zen Rang, two or three years, my eldest son died, isn't it an ordinary thing? In four or five years, his wife and concubine died, and there was nothing to say; After ten or eight years, I myself will die without a queen...... When the time comes, Duke Yan will be compassionate and let General Zuo's son inherit my title, wouldn't everyone be happy? ”

Jing Ze sighed faintly: "The minister also thought of this possibility...... It's just that the minister still wants to ask His Majesty, what is in his mind? is thinking of the majesty of the Han Dynasty, and would rather burn the jade and stones, and fight to the death to embarrass the north for a while; Or if it's really possible, try to survive? ”

The Son of Heaven hesitated for a moment, and finally became frank: "My meaning is already very clear, if I can survive, I am naturally willing to survive...... It's just that against Shang Yan Gong, I really don't rely on it at all! I don't understand his mind! ”

Kyozawa nodded slowly, as he understood. In fact, the young man in front of him has always shown a high desire to survive and a sense of proportion since he was controlled by Dong Zhuo. He had personally experienced those troubled times, and experienced that his noble relatives were killed alive, and this fear was planted in the heart of this young emperor. Therefore, this Son of Heaven's sense of responsibility for the revival of the Han family has always been based on the necessary sense of security.

And that day, Chang'an, his people were more deliberately reversed by Yan Gong, and it was precisely because of the sudden disappearance of the three relatives that the sense of security of this little emperor collapsed sharply, and he finally made up his mind to flee.

Combined with the various events that followed, it can only be said that why did the weak fight?

"Therefore, His Majesty is mainly worried about two points at this time...... "Jing Ze thought clearly, and asked more and more." One took the initiative to surrender, and was slaughtered in Jiangxia by Han Yigong, a person who didn't care about merit and reputation, desperately following Wu Han's example; Second, even if he took the initiative to assist Chan Rang, he could not calmly continue the incense of future generations under the rule of Yan Guo after all? ”

"Exactly." The Son of Heaven still looked immature, and a wry smile appeared on his face. "Does General Cavalry have any ideas?"

"I don't dare to follow the Amway to pack the goods." Jing Ze was actually determined at this time, but there was no difference in his heart, but he was extremely calm. "But there are still some ideas...... In the former, the minister may be able to bypass Han Yigong and send His Majesty directly to Luoyang from other routes; The latter, the minister can't keep His Majesty and the two nobles and the queen safe, but he can do his best to keep the emperor's eldest son safe! ”

The Son of Heaven was silent for a moment.

"Your Majesty, the minister is the death of Duke Yan!" Jing Ze continued to whisper to each other, which was regarded as a supplement and explanation, but his words were out, and there was neither relief nor determination.

In this regard, the Son of Heaven slowly bowed his head, and there was not much surprise: "Why don't I guess? But the way of the world is like this, and it doesn't matter if there is only one person who can save me and is willing to save me. And if Qing is really a spy for Yan Gong, I can't say that I can really live. ”

Jing Ze could only laugh when he heard this, and the Son of Heaven was also embarrassed.

And after this smile, the two stood upright in the hall, calm and silent.

The Son of Heaven was on the steps, Jing Ze was at the bottom of the steps, and the surroundings were silent for a while. Only a cicada chirp suddenly sounded from outside the hall, reminding the two of them that the seasons are flowing, and time does not stop, if it is counted from the time when Jing Ze became the tiger ben Zhonglang, the two of them have been getting along day and night for ** years.

As the saying goes: life is more parting, when can it be in the prime of life? Three thousand miles back and forth, it was the same **.
