Chapter Seventy-Five: The Military Division
Although they had expected such a moment, they were still surprised by the fact that it came so quickly. Jiang Rusong was holding up a glass to drink, the victory came too suddenly and he didn't expect it, he forgot to open his mouth in surprise, and poured all the wine on the table.
Sun Rong hurriedly led the three of them out of the tent to check, only to see the city gate wide open, kneeling in the middle of a middle-aged scribe, holding a wooden letter in his hand, and kneeling on both sides with a brush full of rebel generals.
Sun Rong asked the scribe to enter the account with him, and unlike the ordinary rebels, this person had a calm face, a cold solemnity between his eyebrows, and there was no sense of nervousness and panic, but he looked around as if nothing happened. "What's in the letter?" Sun Rong asked.
Scribe: "Shouldn't the general ask the villain's name first?" ”
Sun Rong looked at the person in front of him with interest: "Then dare to ask Mr. What is his name?" What is the position in the rebels? ”
The scribe put the wooden letter aside and bowed his hand: "I have seen the general, the villain's name is Han Yan, and he is the commander of the army under Yu Chenglie's tent." When he opened the wooden letter, a bloody human head appeared.
Sun Rong's voice trembled a little: "This person is ......"
Han Yan nodded: "It's Yu Chenglie!" ”
Yu Chenglie died after all, and the rebellion that turned the Great Wei upside down was finally put down by himself, Sun Rong couldn't hide his excitement in his heart, and laughed wildly at the sky.
On the side, Han Yan said coldly: "I'm afraid the general is just happy too early, right?" ”
"Bold!" Sun Rong shouted angrily, "Do you think that bringing Yu Chenglie's head is a great achievement? General Ben tells you that since the moment General Ben surrounded you, he Yu Chenglie was already a dead man. You just sent General Ben's head a few days earlier, and it's not worth mentioning at all. If you dare to speak wildly, don't blame General Ben for turning his face and not recognizing people! ”
Han Yan's face did not change: "The villain naturally knows that Yu Chenglie's head is nothing to the general. However, the general did not seem to realize that the real danger was coming. ”
Sun Rong couldn't help laughing: "You Confucian students always like to be alarmist, General Ben has already destroyed your rebels, what's the risk?" Oh, by the way, you mean Sima Huaizhong, a person who lost his fighting spirit and fled away when he heard that Lian Dayong was the head, what other storm can he set off? ”
Han Yan shook his head: "Sima Huaizhong? The villain is not referring to him, but to the current saint, the Great Wei court. ”
Sun Rong was even happier: "General Ben cleared the civil strife for the imperial court, Your Majesty thanked me too late, how could it be unfavorable to me?" ”
Han Yan: "The villain has no intention of offending, the general is from a reckless background, so he naturally doesn't understand the court's set, but I believe the general should have heard the word 'bird is hidden by the bow', right?" ”
The smile on Sun Rong's face gradually faded, and he shook his head and said, "No, the court will not treat me badly." ”
Han Yan: "General, do you think that Han Xin's credit to Liu Bang is greater than the general's credit to His Majesty?" In the end, he was still beheaded in the bell room by Empress Lu, let alone a general. A lesson from the past, the general thinks about it. ”
Seeing that Sun Rong was silent, Han Yan continued: "As far as matters are concerned, how many people in the court today have a good relationship with the general? ”
Sun Rong snorted: "Changle Wang Yuanrui is the sister-in-law of this general, and he has some friendship; The Hu family is afraid that they hate the general to the core; As for the rest, General Ben didn't deal with much. ”
Han Yan: "So although the general is brave and brave, he is really not good at politics. The generals used in the southern and northern wars were all old Huaiwu troops, and they never deliberately took the opportunity to win over the hearts of the court, how could they be happy to see the general powerful, let alone pull the general in times of crisis. As for King Changle, he is not only your sister-in-law, but also your Majesty's younger brother, if Your Majesty thinks that you are a threat to General, which side do you think he will stand on? Great Wei has always emphasized literature over military force, why did Yu Chenglie and his ilk rebel, wasn't it because they didn't want to follow in the footsteps of Han Xin and were abandoned by the imperial court. Of course, if the general is willing to give up his glory and forge a sword into a plowshare, then he may be able to save a good death, but is the general willing to do so? Are the general's subordinates willing to do it? ”
Sun Rong has always believed that fighting hard to quell the enemy can be exchanged for infinite glory, and he has never been so careful about the situation after the chaos. Han Yan said the truth, and the more he listened, the colder his heart became: "Since this is the case, what should I do?" ”
Han Yan: "The world is impermanent, and there is no immutable law. Fortunately, the general met the villain at this moment, and the villain was willing to help the general see the move and turn the danger into a disaster. ”
Sun Rong: "Why does Mr. help me?" ”
Han Yan squeezed out a hint of crying and laughing: "For any imperial court, it has always been better to reuse the enemy country's generals than to easily trust someone like us who has betrayed once. If the villain wants to show what he has learned in his chest, he can't count on the court. But here is different, if the general wants to keep rich and noble for a long time, the villain's strategy is indispensable, the villain and the general can be said to be both prosperous and loss, and no one can do without anyone. ”
Sun Rong nodded with satisfaction: "Honest enough, Sun likes Mr.'s personality." From now on, Mr. Han, you are my Sun Rong's military advisor! ”
Immediately, Sun Rong solemnly introduced this military advisor who suddenly appeared in front of the whole army, and Sun Wei and the others were stunned, this person was still a prisoner of the rank just now, how could he become a military advisor in a moment?
Sun Chaozong was dissatisfied: "The general must not be deceived by this thief, he was defeated and surrendered, what qualifications does he have to be our military advisor?" ”
Sun Rong reprimanded: "Sun Chaozong! It is beyond our reach to have great talents in military divisions, and we are not allowed to speak disrespectfully to military divisions! You prepare, immediately take the head of the thief to Luoyang to report the victory, and by the way, inquire about the movements of the imperial court, and if there is anything unusual, come back immediately to report. He turned his head and glanced at Han Yan, "Strategist, is this the right thing to do?" ”
Han Yan smiled and nodded.
Sun Rong's gaze fell back on Sun Chaozong: "Why are you stunned, don't go quickly!" ”
Sun Chaozong replied weakly: "Yes." ”
Sun Rong: "I can't hear you!" ”
Sun Chaozong shouted: "Yes! "Take the command and go.
Just when Sun Chaozong came to Luoyang with good news, in the Yanwu Hall of the palace city, Yuan Yao had locked himself in it for two whole days. Cui Jiaren's death hit him hard, and in just a few days, he has lost a lot of weight. Every time the palace people sent in the food was withdrawn intact, Xu Yicheng had entered several times to advise Yuan Yao to take care of the dragon body, but Yuan Yao seemed to be completely unmoved, and at this moment he was anxiously guarding the door of the palace, anxious.
Just as he was about to go in again to persuade him, he squinted and caught a glimpse of An Shu stepping out of the corner with a food box. "Miss An, ...... this?" Xu Yicheng pointed to the food box in An Shu's hand and asked.
An Shu: "The queen heard that Her Majesty had not eaten grains for two days, so she specially boiled some porridge for the slaves and maids to deliver. ”
Xu Yicheng was worried: "The queen has a heart, but I'm afraid that Your Majesty may not be willing to eat." ”
An Shu approached Xu Yicheng and said in a low voice: "Since ancient times, it is easy to grow old, and only a wife with hair can accompany him for a lifetime. As he spoke, he took out a gold ingot from his sleeve and stuffed it into Xu Yicheng's hand, "I hope my father-in-law will say a few kind words." ”
Xu Yicheng gently pushed the gold ingot back: "Miss Lao Fuan told the queen that the old slave has only one master in his life, and that person is Your Majesty." ”
An Shu sent out the gold ingots again: "Isn't it a blessing for Your Majesty and Empress Qin Se to reconcile with each other, for Your Majesty and even the entire Great Wei?" ”
Xu Yicheng withdrew his hand: "Then there is no need for this thing." Then he picked up the food box in An Shu's hand, "Miss An waits." He turned and knocked on the door.
"Xu Yicheng, what's the matter? Come on in! Yuan Yao's impatient voice came from the room.
Xu Yicheng bowed slightly, opened the door a small crack, and flashed in lightly: "Your Majesty, eat something, Your Majesty needs to protect the dragon body, don't be too sad!" ”
Yuan Yao didn't raise his head: "Put things down, you go out." ”
Xu Yicheng: "Your Majesty, this porridge is made by the queen herself......"
Yuan Yao: "I know, thank her for me, and say that I ...... I was very moved. There was no emotion in his tone.
Xu Yicheng stood in place, wanting to speak and stopping.
Seeing that he hadn't left, Yuan Yao raised his head and looked at him suspiciously: "Is there anything else?" ”
Xu Yicheng stomped his feet violently, as if he had made a lot of determination: "Your Majesty, the old slave knows that there are some things that should not be said, but the old slave really can't bear to see His Majesty getting haggard day by day, so he will fight to die today to make a statement to His Majesty." ”
Yuan Yao: "If it's about Cui Zhaoyi, don't say it." ”
Xu Yicheng: "Your Majesty tortures yourself so much for a guilty person, it's not worth it!" ”
Yuan Yao patted the case: "I told you to shut up!" ”
Xu Yicheng: "Your Majesty is the whole world, even if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about the world of Great Wei, whether Cui Zhaoyi is guilty or not, the deceased is gone, Your Majesty should cherish the present, if you can't spread the branches and leaves for the Yuan family, I'm afraid it will not be the blessing of my Great Wei." ”
Xu Yicheng's words deeply touched Yuan Yao, savored it, it is true, he still has many ambitions that have not been realized, and he really shouldn't be too childlike, and as the master of the world, the inheritance of heirs is not a trivial matter. There was silence for a long time: "I know, you can also help me pay attention to which minister's family has a daughter of the right age." ”
Xu Yicheng wanted to remind Yuan Yao to pay attention to Hu Bizhu, but he didn't want to get such an answer, so he could only sigh and withdraw, and shook his head at Anshu: "The old slave did her best, and asked the girl to tell the queen not to be anxious, Your Majesty will notice her mind one day." ”
An Shu bowed: "There is a father-in-law." ”
In the Lantian Palace, Hu Bizhu heard that Yuan Yao was not only not moved by her intentions at all, but made Xu Yicheng look for other women, so she gritted her teeth angrily: "Yuan Yao! Don't deceive people too much! ”
An Shu stepped forward and persuaded: "The queen is angry, Your Majesty has treated the queen much better than before, I believe that it will not be long before Your Majesty will be moved by the queen's sincerity." ”
Hu Bizhu was still angry, her teeth were squeaking, and her nose was panting, as if she couldn't breathe. Gasping and panting, he suddenly felt a burst of inexplicable nausea, and he didn't have time to notify An Shu or other palace people, so he squatted down and vomited up the breakfast.
