Chapter 38: The actor Liang Hong
It is said that when he was young, he was just a small actor under the stage, because of his clear eyebrows and beautiful lips and white teeth, he was often teased by some frivolous customers. Once, that Liang Hong really couldn't stand the insult, so he beat the old man of a large local family out of blood, the old man was angry, holding a knife to kill Liang Hong, a group of people chased him to the Weishui River, that Liang Hong was desperate, jumped into the Weishui River, and never disappeared again.
Many years later, when people thought that a small drama had died, there was a number one powerful person in Beijing, who won the trust of the emperor and promised him monstrous power.
Sure enough, the retribution of injustice, the big family that chased and killed Liang Hong was destroyed overnight, and when the burning fire flew all over the sky, people saw that the door of the big family was flowing blood outward, and the bold man pushed open the door and saw that he was frightened by the scene in front of him! I saw more than 20 people up and down the family, all of them were bloodied on the spot, up to the white-haired old man, down to the screaming nurse, every corpse, was dug out of the heart and lungs, and then looked up, and found that it was on fire, burning branches, densely hung, but not a lot of internal organs, among the internal organs, there was a person who was not yet dead, in the fire like a fat worm kept wriggling and wailing, that scene, if you want to come to the eighteen layers of hell in the Yama Palace, it may not be so tragic.
And this is just the beginning, the people who molested and insulted Liang Hong back then, although they were not as tragic as disemboweling, they did not end well.
This is the style of the eunuch Liang Hong.
This Liang Hong was in the court, I don't know what means he used, he quickly encircled a group of civil ministers and military generals under his hands, and the number of people in the eunuch mansion was also increasing day by day, and gradually, with the connivance of the emperor, he covered half of the sky with one hand, and he could even resist with the Wei family.
A few days ago, the eldest prince of Liang Hong's support was drowned, everyone thought that Liang Hong would be annoyed and panicked, but they never thought that this Liang Hong, compared to before, was more calm and confident, everyone was puzzled, but think about the current emperor, there are so many princesses under his knees, but many sons have died young, and those who stayed are only the eldest prince born to a concubine, and the second prince born to Queen Wei, there is another one next to him, but he was born with one less ear, is also a mediocre person, not to mention how knowledgeable, but with the lack of an ear, he will never be able to be the master of the East Palace, so this prince was born outside the consideration of those who have a heart.
It's the same now, the eldest prince is dead, once the emperor dies, then the only one who can ascend the throne is the second prince Yan Li, Liang Hong has no trump card under his hands, is it possible that he is a eunuch, and he can still ascend the throne and become the emperor? Don't say that if you do this, even if you have such thoughts, it will make people laugh off their big teeth.
On the side of Bingzhou, Su Yu decided to help the scholar and Da Kui relieve the siege in front of them first, and then set off to Beijing to rescue the two masters.
The leader of this rebel army, Ma Sui, who had saved scholars and Da Kui, Su Yu also met, and looked at him as a loyal and courageous person, but he was a little too upright and didn't know how to be tactful.
For example, when Su Yu explained his identity and showed that he was from Xiao Yi's side, this Ma Sui was admired at first, but then he thought about it, it was Xiao Yi himself who surrounded and suppressed them this time, so he began to frown again, looked at Su Yu, and turned around with a sad face in the county hall of the county government.
The scholar was calm and thoughtful, and said to Su Yu: "Xiao Yu, can you touch that Xiao Yi's heart?" ”
Su Yu thought for a while, "Three points is not much. ”
The scholar frowned and said: "I have also studied the battles that this little overlord has led his troops to fight before, and there are not a few examples of winning more with less, and there are many magic tactics with soldiers, but for some reason, when he clashed with our army this time, the skills of arranging troops and arranging formations were mediocre, and the fight was not a success or failure, so he immediately beat the drum and collected the troops, once or twice, no matter how many soldiers there were or how few soldiers there were, every time and again." ”
When Su Yu heard this, he raised his eyebrows, looked at the scholar and said, "Is your plan too profound, so Xiao Yi knows that he can't resist it?" ”
The scholar shook his head, "I thought about the plan, but I never used it, and Xiao Yi's soldiers and horses were defeated." ”
“……”
Su Yu opened his mouth and thought to himself, isn't that Xiao Yi famous, and he is a straw bag inside?
While thinking, Su Yu turned his head to Zicheng's direction, and looked at him with a very suspicious expression, Zicheng met Su Yu's gaze, first stunned, and then looked out of the window silently, showing some weakness.
Bowing his head and pondering for a moment, Su Yu thought about what Xiao Yi had done before, and remembered his words, "With a lady here, a husband must not lose", Su Yu suddenly realized, slapped his thigh and scolded: "What a thief's Xiao Papi!" ”
The scholar was taken aback by Su Yu's posture, and the sip of tea he had just drunk in his mouth almost squirted out, and he coughed twice and asked Su Yu, "What's wrong?" ”
Su Yu smiled and said: "It seems that what Xiao Yi wants is not this small Dingxian county, but the merger of five counties, six counties and twelve villages." ”
"How?"
Recalling the previous situation, Su Yu said truthfully: "When the army was fought before, Xiao Yi was defeated once, and he used the excuse that the men and horses were not enough to go to the straw bag and the main man of the state last time, and if he was defeated once, he would have to go again, so that there were more and more soldiers and horses under Xiao Yi's hands, and when the time came, if Yan Qi wanted to return the soldiers and horses from Xiao Yi's hands, I was afraid that Xiao Yi would have to pretend to be confused, and he would definitely not return them." ”
Ma Sui on the side was a little anxious when he heard this, "That Yan Qi is a little straw, and we can still have some chances of winning against him, but when that little overlord has power, wouldn't it be like hitting a stone with an egg when we fight with him!" Ah! It's over, it's over! It seems that my old horse can only fight with him! ”
Su Yu and the scholar glanced at each other, and said with a smile: "Brother Ma doesn't need to panic, the reason why Xiao Yi sent me here proves that he doesn't want to quickly send troops to attack Dingxian, or force the soldiers of Dingxian to die in a hurry." ”
Ma Sui still didn't know why, "Why is this?" ”
Su Yu glanced at Zicheng, who lowered his head to his heels again, and said with disdain: "I'm afraid that they have already investigated, and the person who gives advice in Dingxian County is a scholar, so Xiao Yi tried every means to keep me, and what nonsense about being a strategist is clearly to let me be a middleman and a lobbyist." ”
Ma Sui said again: "Then General Xiao leads the troops like a god, if he really leads the troops to attack, then I will not be able to hold the county, why does he still want to make peace with me?" ”
The scholar was thoughtful and meticulous, playing with the fan in his hand, and said leisurely: "If the righteous army is not destroyed for a day, he Xiao Yi can be stationed in the state in the name of suppression, once the righteous army is destroyed, then he will go with the flow, and he will also be confiscated of military power, and the current situation is not suitable for the Xiao family to have any military achievements." ”
Ma Sui nodded uncontrollably after mentioning this point: "Most generals only look at the victory or defeat in front of them when they march to fight, and that Xiao Yi is really different from ordinary people, and what he looks at is the situation of the entire Daliang." Saying that, Ma Sui said anxiously: "This can't be delayed for too long!" When he is strong, he will still come to attack us. ”
"Don't delay too long." The scholar asserted on the side: "Because the emperor is seriously ill today, he can't delay it for too long." ”
Everyone's minds sank, and they suddenly stopped talking, yes! As soon as the emperor dies today, a bloody storm will follow.
Ma Sui thought about it for a while, he started to fight with his enthusiasm, and he was able to go so far and take over several surrounding counties, all of which relied on the scholars' suggestions, and now that he was in such a situation, Ma Sui couldn't help but look at the scholars again.
The scholar lowered his eyes for a moment, looked at Su Yu, and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Yu, how much do you know about that Xiao Yi?" ”
Thinking about Xiao Yi, Su Yu shook his head and said disdainfully: "I don't know much, but I know that he is a scheming person, flamboyant, stingy, unruly, and calculating......"
The scholar straightened up, looked at Su Yu silently, and when he saw that she was going to continue, he simply interrupted and asked bluntly: "Is he reliable?" ”
Su Yu pondered for a moment and nodded, "There are some criteria for being a person, which are quite reliable." ”
"If you were a counselor by his side, how much would he listen to you?"
Su Yu thought about it, and was a little lacking in confidence, "So, half a point, right?" ”
The scholar looked at Su Yu, from childhood to adulthood, it was rare to see her so unconfident, so he looked up at the person behind her holding a scimitar: "Who is this little brother?" ”
Zicheng clenched his fist towards the scholar and said loudly: "I am the deputy general under General Xiao Yi, Duan Zicheng!" ”
Da Kui listened on the side, hurriedly moved forward, looked at Zicheng, and his tone was a little admiring, "You are General Zicheng?" Back then, in Liangcheng, the person who led a team of light horses to break into the enemy's territory and beheaded the head of the general of Beidi in three moves was you? ”
Zicheng nodded, he had already fought with Da Kui yesterday, and Zi Cheng had also seen Da Kui's strength, so when he saw the other party asking, Zi Cheng did not slack off, and responded: "Exactly." ”
After that, the two glanced at each other, and they both saw a little appreciation in each other's eyes.
The scholar smiled, looked at Su Yu and said, "I can send the closest people around me to protect you, it can be seen that Xiao Yi also cares about you." ”
Su Yu looked up at Zicheng, the authorities were confused, and asked bluntly, "You're not here to supervise me?"
Zicheng shook his head like a wave drum and denied: "Madam, absolutely not! ”
As soon as this "madam" called, the scholar Da Kui, and even Ma Sui and the others in the room involuntarily opened their mouths wide, staring at Su Yu, and their eyes never blinked.
Su Yu looked at the scene in front of him, instantly got goosebumps, sat upright, and explained, "No, it's not what you imagined? ”
The scholar said: "Xiaoyu, you and Xiao Yi are married?" ”
"Uh......"
Su Yu didn't answer, and Zicheng replied sonorously: "On September 16, in the general's mansion in the capital, the old general personally made the decision, worshiped heaven and earth, and became a family affair!" ”
Su Yu, "......"
It was useless to say more, Su Yu was dumbfounded for a moment, and explained to the scholar and Da Kui: "If I say that I was coerced, do you believe it?" ”
Before Da Kui could react, the scholar closed his mouth, looked at Su Yu's sincere eyes, and responded with some embarrassment: "I believe you in everything else." After that, the scholar looked at Su Yu and persuaded bitterly: "Xiao Yu, although I heard that Xiao Yi is handsome and extraordinary, but you are making nonsense this time, and you are bolder." ”
