"What is Jingqing's specific method?" After a long pause, the silence in the hall was broken by the young man in a slightly expectant tone.

After all, if both sides are honest with each other, there is no need to go around in circles.

"It's actually very simple to escape Han Sizhou." Jing Ze also came back to his senses, but he was still calm. "The minister delayed a little time for His Majesty in Sanjiangkou, Your Majesty didn't have to worry too much, just took a letter from some important people and ministers, and went to the lower reaches of the river to find Han Rui, the Taishou of Lujiang, ......"

The Son of Heaven was slightly stunned, as if he was a little caught off guard by this name.

And Jing Ze seemed to have thought about it for a long time, but he took the opportunity to release a few words: "Han Fujun is the old friend of Yan Gong, from Chang'an Ling to Wudu Taishou, and then moved to Lujiang Taishou at the beginning of last year, the original intention is that because of the special location of Lujiang, it is just stuck between Jiangxia, Danyang, and Wu County, and it needs to be a person who Yan Gong can rest assured." And he was not only the Taishou of the Lujiang River, but also led the general Hengjiang to supervise the water division in the lower reaches of the river. In other words, this person's identity is enough to make his own claim and immediately escort His Majesty north. ”

"I know these ......," the Son of Heaven sighed slightly, obviously hesitating. But Han Rui has always been quite respectful to me, and he has no respect for the Han family. ”

"Your Majesty," Kyosawa said. "It doesn't matter if we are respectful or not, now what we have to guard against is just that Han Sizhou in the upper reaches of the country makes his own decisions and learns from Wu Han in vain, and it has nothing to do with anything else. And now Jiangxia is sandwiched on three sides, Xu Gongming and Zang Xuangao in Anlu in the north are too close to Han Sizhou, and they are nominally subordinate to each other, so if they surrender to Anlu, they can't avoid General Han, only the downstream can avoid it! ”

Liu Xie shook his head slightly, and then bowed his head...... Obviously, he was still worried about Han Rui, but there seemed to be no other way out at the moment, so this was the case.

"Your Majesty, rest assured!" Seeing this, Jing Ze couldn't help but smile bitterly. "When we fled Chang'an that day, Han Fujun, who was still in Chang'an at that time, had doubts about the identity of the minister, otherwise he would not shoot the minister alone. Therefore, as long as the minister writes a letter, since Chen spy, saying that Yan Gong urgently needs His Majesty to go to Luoyang to practice meditation and make concessions, and also said that Yan Gong has the heart to want Han Sizhou to clean up Jiangxia, and wants His Majesty to go alone and early, his people will definitely not be suspicious, and they will not be embarrassed by His Majesty's ......"

When Liu Xie heard this, he still hesitated and shook his head: "This strategy is not appropriate, although this move can ensure that Han Rui can send me north as soon as possible, so that I can worry free, but it will make it difficult for Jingqing to do it in the future...... Ke Qing jumped out by himself, didn't he clearly tell Han Dang and Yan Gong that Qing suspected them today, or simply ruined their good deeds? ”

"It doesn't matter." Kyozawa also shook his head. "The minister does not believe that Yan Gong wants to try His Majesty, even if there is such a thing, the minister is not afraid, because when the minister came to do the room, in addition to Yan Gong, he was also directly ordered by Jia Xiang, and Jia Xiang had been above board on the Tongque Terrace to ask Yan Gong to protect the inheritance of the Han family and return the kindness of the Han family. With his cover, don't say that Han Yigong, even Yan Gong is at most dissatisfied with the ministers, but he will not pursue the ministers for this matter...... It's a big deal to be an idler when you go back. ”

Hearing this, the Son of Heaven thought seriously again, in the end, it was a heavy bow, because there was really no other way - this was the only feasible route to avoid Han Dang, and after Lu Fan went south to Jingnan to meet Shi Xie, Han Dang was the only one among the many Yan generals around him who was qualified to emulate Wu Han.

So, just avoid him. As for......

"As for the eldest son of the emperor."

At this moment, Jing Ze lowered his head and paused, and then continued to speak calmly. "It's actually simple...... The prince was young, swaddling, and almost unrecognizable...... Why not use the old strategy of the Zhao orphan and let him be raised in the name of the righteous son of the Jing family in the name of the minister, so that he can naturally not worry about some unwarranted things. ”

The Son of Heaven was stunned again: "What does this mean? When did Qing have an heir in Jiangxia? ”

"Jiangxia's ministers have no biological heirs." Jing Youxi sighed. "But over the years, I have been running along the way, and I have seen a lot of lost babies along the way. There are at least seventeen or eighteen ministers in Sanjiangkou, both large and small...... It's better to let the queen pick one, pretend to be the prince, go north to Luoyang with His Majesty, and then try to raise it as much as possible, and if you can't raise it, you can live up to it...... And the prince boldly stayed with the minister, only His Majesty and his wife and the minister and his wife knew, and because he was a righteous son, he didn't even need to change his surname, for fear that His Majesty would not be reluctant! ”

The Son of Heaven thought for a moment, and sighed: "This is indeed a method, more reliable than the strategy of avoiding Han Yigong...... As for whether I am willing to give up or not, isn't this because I am worried in my heart, so I take the initiative to ask for it? As long as the queen doesn't make trouble, I have nothing to say. However, since Jing Qing said this, she thought that the queen had already promised it, right? ”

Jing Ze nodded slowly: "The queen has already responded." ”

The two monarchs and ministers were speechless, and after a while, they said goodbye in the palace and went back to prepare.

Not to mention the little emperor, Jing Ze returned to his mansion in Xiling City to freshen up a little, and then prepared to rest early, and returned to Sanjiangkou tomorrow to make a break. However, everyone knew that Jiangxia's fate was now in the hands of this chariot general, so from the evening, about the time when his face came back to freshen up, the visitors to the door began to flow endlessly, including some people who had been in this place for several years, and they had no choice but to give a little hospitality, and then comforted them with kind words, suggesting that the overall situation would be decided, and there was no need to worry too much......

And in the late evening, many guests left, but one person stayed alone at the end, not for a long time. Jing Ze, who had already turned back to the back house, became more and more helpless, so he could only come and see it in person, but he couldn't help but feel a sudden feeling in his heart - it turned out that the person who stayed here and didn't want to leave was Cui Yan and Cui Jiju.

His people were entrusted by Liu Bei to panhuan in Jiangxia, and the original intention was to urge Sha Xian's group of people to send troops to Xiangyang, but nothing came of it, so it came to this.

"Beijing car ride." Cui Yan waited until Jing Ze came back alone, and hurriedly got up and saluted.

"Cui Jun."

Under the candlelight, Jing Ze also sighed when he saw that the other party, who had always been famous for his appearance, was as haggard and withered as himself. "Please rest assured, General Zuo died, and many of his subordinates were pardoned, and the so-called thieves were only aimed at the local families in the Jianghan area, and had nothing to do with you...... When Jiangxia is over, I will also ask for forgiveness for Cui Jun, and I don't think Yan Gong will care about the old things anymore. ”

Cui Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "In this way, Jiang Xia and the Son of Heaven have already made up their minds to surrender?" ”

"Cui Jun." Jing Ze had no choice but to ask rhetorically. "From the orthodoxy of the Han family, except for the Son of Heaven and the eldest son of the emperor who is still in infancy, there is no one else to inherit, do you have to resist to the death and make the Han family extinct? Moreover, the Son of Heaven is only a teenager after all, and he is only eighteen until now, so why must he be so intense? ”

"What about Hanchen?" Cui Yan couldn't help but ask again. "400 Years of Han Family Raising Scholars......"

"Eighty percent died in the early peace years of Emperor Ling." Unexpectedly, Kyozawa was still amiable. "That's when my uncle died. Then Dong Yuan's rebellion, the matter of moving west, and the matter of hunting in the east were postponed here, how many Hanchen could be left? If Cui Jun refers to Zhi Jinwu (Li Shao) and Taiwei (Liu Biao), it is better to take a break early...... The reason why Zhi Jinwu disappeared was not to prepare anything, but because he was preparing to abduct the Son of Heaven to surrender and survive, and was detained by me at the mouth of the Sanjiang River when he went to consult with me; Taifu even prepared to get off the boat to Danyang early, preparing to cross the river immediately to find Tao Xuzhou, as if taking advantage of the latter's face and the opportunity of Shi Weiyan to enter Luo, asking for a peaceful life. ”

Cui Yan was silent for a while, he just came from Liu Biao in the afternoon, how could he not know?

"Is there anything else Cui Jun would like to ask?" Kyozawa was extremely tired and just wanted to finish early.

Cui Jiqi shook his head slowly: "No...... In fact, the troubled times are like rivers, everyone fights to cross, and we took the wrong boat in the first place because of our vision, and were abandoned by the general trend of the world, so what else can we ask for at this time? Just take care. ”

After that, he directly saluted and said goodbye, but he did not lose his demeanor.

Jing Ze didn't care, turned around and went to rest. And early the next morning, he immediately set off, ready to return to the Sanjiangkou from the ferry on the south side of the river.

According to the officer, late at night last night, a man named Cui Yan took a Taiwei document and borrowed a small boat from the ferry, thinking that he was going to escape by boat, but this person sailed alone to the center of the river, only drank a pot of wine under the moon and then jumped directly into the river, and did not see the body...... Only before getting on the boat, he said that if the Beijing car rides here today, he must let his servants thank him on his behalf.

When Jing Ze heard this, he was not surprised, but calmly beckoned Cui Yan's old servant to step forward: "Uncle, what are your master's words?" ”

"Return to the general of the chariot cavalry." After all, he is Cui Yan's servant who has been with him for many years, and he speaks in an orderly manner. "My master only has two words, one is to thank the general for his sincere care many times; The second is to tell the general that he is unwilling to surrender, not because he is angry with Yan Gong, nor is he worried that Yan Guild will not be able to tolerate him, but because he has been away from the north for too long, and in the future, he really doesn't know what kind of identity he should stand in in the world of Yan Kingdom...... And he threw himself into the river today, not with the meaning of martyrdom, but because the troubled times are like crossing the river, it is really hard, and when he comes to the riverside, although he can do it, he has exhausted his strength, and he really doesn't want to go again. ”

Kyoze was finally moved.

The river traveled eastward, the Han chariot general stood on the riverside, silent for a long time, and when he came back to his senses, he didn't know how long it had been, and seeing that the old servant of the Cui family in front of him was still bowing his head to each other, he couldn't help but ask earnestly: "Does the old man have a place to go?" ”

"The general doesn't have to worry about old age." The old servant of the Cui family said slowly. "Although the servant is alone, the Cui family in the north is still there, and he is waiting in the city, and when the war here subsides, he can pack up the master's relics and return to Qinghe's hometown."

Jing Ze immediately bowed his head, but he went on the boat.

And when he took a boat upriver and returned to the mouth of the Sanjiang River, he was even more methodical, first wrote a letter to Han Rui, asked Empress Yuan to carry it with him, and personally sent the latter to take a fake son down the river to join the Son of Heaven. Immediately, he summoned his wife Yuan, and took more than a dozen orphans, including the prince, that is, Lu Bu's widow, and carried a letter to his old friend Du Ji in the direction of Anlu in the north - he knew that Xu Gongming was cautious and a person with extremely strict military discipline, plus this letter to Du Ji, his wife and the group of adopted orphans would never go wrong there.

When everything was in order, the others waited for another three days, and his wife, the Son of Heaven and his party had no time to recourse, so they sent a letter to the upper Shaxian Han Yi Office, asking the latter to go down the river to take over the last army of the Han court.

After the letter was issued, on the evening of the same day, Jing Youxifu released Li Shao, the executive of Jinwu, and entrusted the military order to the soldiers, and then followed Cui Yan's example, sailed to the heart of the river, and after drinking, calmly threw himself into the river, and never returned.

didn't have a long talk with Li Shao, not because the other party was unworthy of anything, but because it was unnecessary.

As for the reasons for seeking death, there are too many...... For example, the double guilt of the Han family and the Yan country for that child before; For example, if you have been a spy for so long, going back and revealing your identity will only become a laughing stock in history books; For example, if he wants to exchange his death for Yan Gong's forgiveness for Xiao Tianzi and the 'prince', Jing Ze believes that Gongsun Xun will understand and agree.

However, these reasons are not reasons, if you really want to live with a shy face, you can still live. The most important reason is that Cui Yan said it more thoroughly - life is like a road, but the troubled times are more difficult, like crossing a river with a load.

And the morals, ethics, interests, values, lives, people's hearts, and merits are too heavy for Jing Ze, who is not very talented and has a somewhat naïve personality, and he just can't measure himself and wants to lose more and gain more.

Therefore, even if the other side is in front of him, he is already exhausted.

As the saying goes: those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, and those who cross the river with heavy loads are mostly drowned on the bank.

"The case of Chen Song, and the end of the Han Dynasty, Yang Biao and Jing Ze took the responsibility of the Han Dynasty, Hebei was completely overturned and went to the Central Plains, and the Central Plains was completely overturned to go to Jiangxia, and Jiangxia did not exist, and the emperor surrendered and died in the river. Later generations may laugh at the clumsy two, and they both died in vain at the mouth of the three rivers. I don't know that the situation has come to this point, there is no reason to survive, Yang and Jing Erzhong, but I have done my best to hear it.
