Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 12 The Banner is Not Rolled Section 2

Chapter 12 The Flag Is Not Rolled Up Section 2 The candlelight in the room is dim. Da Sima Xu Rong sat in the corner, staring at Li Wei who had just walked in, his face was gloomy and terrifying.

Taiwei Zhang Yan was walking around the house with his hands behind his back, and when he saw Li Wei, he suddenly straightened up, and a murderous aura gushed out.

Shangshu made Tian Chou look sad and angry, quietly handed Li Wei a helpless look, turned around and walked out of the study, and gently closed the door.

"As you wish......" Zhang Yan leaned over and picked up the urgent music on the desk, and said coldly,

"The damned are dead, the rebels are all betrayed, and the ones who should be killed will be killed now." Li Wei was ecstatic, but there was no expression on his face, he stood still and did not move, trying his best to suppress the excitement in his heart.

succeeded, and something finally happened on the battlefield in Nanyang. He looked at Zhang Yan, then at Xu Rong, and then took the urgent report.

Yang Feng, the general of the cavalry, was ambushed in Xinye, and his own body was seriously wounded, and more than a dozen generals such as Ding Bo, Lin Jie, and Xue Lan were all killed in the battle, and the 20,000 army was almost wiped out.

Wu Meng general Liang Baiwu and Xiao cavalry general Xiao Lei led the army to forcibly break through the siege, and Yu Yucheng was besieged again. Wang Dang, the general of Long Xiang, led an army of 10,000 to support quickly, broke through the Turbulent River, and rescued Yang Feng, Liang Baiwu and Liao Lei, but the 10,000 army of the headquarters was lost more than half, and only 3,000 men and horses escaped from the siege, and Yu Shunyang was besieged again.

Yuan Yao, the general of Pingnan, gave up retreating to Luyang and led an army of 30,000 to the east to support. The two sides fought in the Danshui River, and four generals including Wuya General Li Yun and more than 6,000 soldiers died in a bloody battle.

Later, the Jingzhou army took the initiative to retreat, and Yuan Yao successfully rescued Yang Feng, Wang Dang and others, and then retreated to Wuguan. After arriving at Wuguan, Huang Yi, Xun Zheng, Lu Mian, Zi Su, Zheng Bao, Liu Xun, Guo Yuan and others suddenly rebelled, took Yang Feng, Wang Dang and Yuan Yao and others hostage, and raised them

Under the banner of "except for **, the side of the Qing monarch", he led the army to kill Chang'an.

"That's the price of restructuring, isn't it?" Seeing that Li Wei was calm, Zhang Yan couldn't help but be very angry, and asked sharply,

"I said, this battle can't be fought, can't be fought, why don't you listen? Could it be that amending the criminal law and paying money to atone for their sins can appease their hatred? More than 30,000 soldiers and more than 20 generals died like this. It's all your sin, your sin. ”

"If the criminal law is not changed, I am afraid that Yuzhou will be in chaos a long time ago, and it will not be more than 30,000 soldiers who died at that time, but more than 20 generals, and it may be the entire Yuzhou, and even Luoyang may be lost." Li Wei slowly rolled up the bamboo slips and said calmly,

"In the restructuring of all dynasties, how can there be immortals? This is normal. Some people benefit from the restructuring, some people suffer from the restructuring, and it is normal for the party whose interests are damaged to do some extreme actions, what is the fuss? But ......" He looked at Xu Rong sitting in the dark, with an imperceptible smile on his face,

"If the son and the eldest princess are not in Chang'an today, and the general is seriously ill in Youzhou, life and death are uncertain, such a good opportunity, I am afraid that not only Huang Yi and Lu Mian raised troops to rebel, but there should be more people who want to jump out...... Guanzhong is lively, bloody and bloody......" Li Wei's arrogant attitude suddenly angered Zhang Yan,

"As long as I cut you down, anything can be solved." Li Wei finally couldn't help laughing,

"Lord Taiwei, the deaths of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people in the past were disdainful to you, how can you lose your mind today for a mere 30,000 people? What problem can be solved by cutting me down? Can the community be ZTE? Can the New Deal be implemented? Can the people be fed and clothed? Can rebellion be awarded? Also, then again, don't you want to kill? If you don't want to see today's situation, with the strength of the two adults, can't you dissuade the eldest princess? Can't stop Yang Feng from attacking Nanyang? Since we have the same goal, we should be in the same boat today, and we should get through this together, instead of complaining and blaming each other. Zhang Yan was furious by Li Wei's words,

"You're going to kill. What did you secretly send Jia Kui to Jinyang for? You think we don't know? When Jia Kui arrived in Jinyang, the eldest princess immediately made an order, how can you let us stop it? Although someone in the DPRK wants to kill you, the situation is still under control, and there is no need to add fuel to the fire and force all opponents out. Now that Huang Yi is in front and Yuan Yao is behind, openly raising troops to rebel, the situation may get out of control at any time, have you thought about the consequences? ”

"Haha......" Li Wei smiled and shook his head again and again,

"Why did His Highness leave Jinyang? It's not that you instigated, otherwise, with the advice of the ministers of the DPRK and China, how could she leave Jinyang at this critical moment? His Royal Highness went to Youzhou, and the Fengyun Iron Cavalry immediately went out of the fortress. Why is the Wind and Cloud Iron Rider out of the plug? The rebellion in the north has been quelled, will the Fengyun Iron Cavalry still go out of the fortress? I want to ask Lord Taiwei, where is the Fengyun Iron Rider now? Has he secretly entered Xiaoguan and is heading south along the Jingshui River? Also, is the iron cavalry of Jiang Wu, the general of Liangzhou Zhenxi, also secretly stationed in Shangtai? ”

"It's all a forced strategy for you. We are afraid of rebellion, and the more we are afraid, the more it will come, and you will be the culprit. Zhang Yan was annoyed,

"Why do you have to do that? Is the life of a Han soldier worthless in your eyes? Who paved the way for you to have where you are today? Do you still have humanity? Where is your conscience? ”

"Should I bear the responsibility for the defeat of Nanyang? Why did Nanyang lose? Why did General Yang Feng ambush in the new field? Why was it besieged twice in Yicheng and Shunyang? Betrayal, someone has already betrayed. Even if we don't fight Nanyang this time, what about next time? The next time we attack Nanyang, maybe we will lose not 30,000 people, but 60,000 people, 100,000 people, and we may even lose Luoyang, Chang'an, and Sheji. Li Wei retorted,

"The rebels want to kill me, destroy the reform, and want the north and south to split and completely overthrow the Han Dynasty, and the people of Xiangyang want us to have internal strife, and they want the north and south to split, so as to give themselves time and opportunity to counterattack. Could it be that if we carefully avoided this rebellion, the court would be stable? And the rebels have changed their ways? ”

"It's too costly." Xu Rong spoke, his voice low and sad,

"Back then, in the name of killing Dong Zhuo, they betrayed the Han and attacked Luoyang, which led to the defeat of Sheji, and today they are here again, and they betrayed the Han again. I really don't understand, the imperial court has already met their requirements to the greatest extent, why is it still not satisfied? Is it true that their personal interests are more important than their social interests? Without social security, where does personal wealth and power come from? Don't understand such a simple truth? ”

"If they understand this truth, how can the Han be overturned?" Li Wei scoffed.

"Dong Zhuo's disaster is only seventeen years ago, and it is still vivid." Xu Rong looked up to the sky and sighed,

"Don't forget the past, the teacher of the future, it's a pity...... It's a pity ......" Zhang Yan was furious, pointing at Li Wei and wanting to scold, Xu Rong patted the case lightly.

"Feiyan, forget it...... People can't be resurrected after death, maybe it's not a bad thing to force them out early, the Han Dynasty is prosperous, and there are always people who have to pay the price. When Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, his original intention was to remove the ** eunuch, the Qing monarch's side, and revitalize the community, but what was the result? Who drove him to a dead end? Dong Zhuo's disaster is a lesson from the past, and we must not repeat the mistakes of the past today. ”

"Henan Yin immediately replaced." Zhang Yan sighed,

"Order the right general Wen Chou to lead Henan Yin, and the original Henan Yin Sima Lang immediately returned to the court. Asked Wen Chou to set off immediately, and rushed to Luoyang day and night, stationed at the eight passes. ”

"Order Wurui General Zhang Xiu to lead Hongnong Taishou and defend Gyeonggi."

"Order the mighty general Zang Ba to lead the Qingzhou Assassin History, and the original Qingzhou Assassin Xu Jing will return to the dynasty immediately."

"Order the Zhendong general Gao Shun to lead the Qingyan and Yanzhou troops, and the general Zhong Xuan of the southern army will return to the dynasty immediately. If it is found that Zhong Xuan has plotted rebellion, there is no need to show the court, and he will be killed immediately. ”

"Bai Lei is the general of Zhennan, leading the military affairs of Yuzhou, if there is a rebellion in Yuzhou County, there is no need to play, he will be killed immediately, and he will not be tolerated."

"Order Yan Wudaunt, the general of the Zhenjun army, and Jiang Wu, the general of Zhenxi, to rush to Chang'an with iron cavalry to defend the Beijing division."

"Slow ......" Li Wei suddenly interrupted Zhang Yan,

"In my opinion, these two support forces should not rush to Chang'an, wait a little longer......" Xu Rong's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

Zhang Yan's eyes widened, and she almost ate Li Wei,

"What else do you want to do?"

"There are still people who haven't come out......" Li Wei said with a smile,

"Don't rush, don't rush...... The two adults were a little harder and gave me strong support, and there must be someone who wants to betray me at this time...... Since the killing has begun, then don't leave the aftermath and kill it all at once. ”

"Zhongyuan ......" Xu Rong shook his hand,

"Enough is enough."

"What if the general hears this bad news and can't hold on and dies? Do the two adults have absolute control over the overall situation? Li Wei suddenly rushed to Xu Rong excitedly and shouted,

"If you want to kill, kill clean, don't kill yourself like Dong Zhuo. If Dong Zhuo was ruthless and killed everyone who should be killed, why would there be a disaster of defeat and social destruction? At most, he was just an arrogant and domineering minister like Liang Yi, but now? Now the responsibility for the overthrow of Sheji is his, but Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Biao and the like who should really bear the responsibility for overthrowing Sheji have become heroes who saved Sheji? Tell you, there is no axiom in this world, only the sword of war, whoever has the sharpness of the sword, whoever wins, is the axiom. The winner is king, the loser is the coward, kill! There was silence in the room, save for the rapid gasps of the three ministers.

Nanyang was defeated, Huang Yi and Lu Mian raised troops to rebel, and waved their troops to attack and kill Chang'an, which shocked the government and the opposition for a while. The rebels are like a bamboo, and the three cities of Lianke Mall, Shangluo, and Lantian are approaching Duling, and there are only one hundred and twenty miles left from Chang'an.

Huang Yi spread the word to the world in the name of Yuan Yao, listed Li Wei's eighteen crimes, and called on all prefectures and counties to jointly raise troops to crusade against Prime Minister Li Wei.

The great Sima Xu Rong, the Taifu Liu He, the Taiwei Zhang Yan, and the prime minister Li Wei panicked, and on the one hand, they ordered General Zuo and Wei Qing Yan Liang to lead 10,000 southern troops to enter Duling to block the rebels, and on the other hand, they sent the imperial historian Xun You to appease the rebels.

The ministers and ministers quarreled endlessly in the court meeting. Some of them impeached Li Wei and told him to get out of here immediately, so as not to cause civil strife and defeat the society; Some raised their arms and shouted that they would hunt down Li Wei and cut off his head to quell the rebellion; However, ministers such as Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Zhang He, and Liu Ming were not afraid, and demanded that troops and horses from all over the country be requisitioned into Beijing, put down the rebellion, and defend the Beijing division.

The great Sima Xu Rong hesitated, the Taiwei Zhang Yan was at a loss, and the two of them changed their previous calmness, and they did not make any decisions for a long time, and they did not even report the Son of Heaven who was far away in Youzhou.

The explanation of the great Sima Xu Rong is that if it is forcibly suppressed, it will definitely cause chaos in Guanzhong. This may endanger the safety of the society, so it tends to be appeased, but appeasement is to remove Prime Minister Li Wei.

"I have no right to remove the prime minister, I can only ask the Son of Heaven and His Royal Highness to make a decision, so this matter can't be rushed, we must take our time, first persuade Huang Yi, Lu Mian and others, and take stability as the best policy." The inaction of the imperial court angered the ministers of the main battle faction, and Lu Bu angrily reprimanded Xu Rong above the court, and his eyes were about to split.

However, the ministers of the main Fu faction were elated, and they jointly played again and again, demanding the immediate dismissal of Prime Minister Li Wei. Seeing that the imperial court was panicked and arrogant, the rebels began to attack Duling.

Zhennan General Lei Chong hurriedly played the imperial court, and the rebels made a comeback and attacked Yuzhou again. Under the command of Xu Yan and Zhao Xuan, the 30,000 army of Xuchang defended the line of Luyang and Kunyang, and almost at the same time, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu led the army to cross the river again, and Lei Zhong personally commanded the army to block the enemy on the Huaishui line, and the battle was very fierce.

Lei Zhong asked for help, hoping that the imperial court could transfer troops from Luoyang to the south and first defeat the Jingzhou army, which had high morale.

Da Sima Xu Rong asked Li Wei's opinion, whether it was enough to stop, but Li Wei vetoed it,

"Tell Lei Chong that not an inch of land in Yuzhou can be lost, even if all 70,000 people are exhausted. When this battle was over, I gave him money and food, and asked him to recruit another 100,000 soldiers. Taiwei Zhang Yan exclaimed,

"Zhong Yuan, once the eldest princess makes an order to remove you from your official position, it will be too late. Don't play with fire**, let's immediately mobilize troops to quell the rebellion. Li Wei smiled indifferently and pointed to his head,

"I made a bet with this head, and if I lost, I admitted it, and if I won, the society will be revitalized." Xu Rong was helpless, and replied to the book, and the safety of the society was in the hands of the general, so he asked the general to repel the rebellion and defend Yuzhou at any cost.

Zai Shuyan Fearless and Jiang Wu, the time to counterbalance the rebellion has not yet arrived, waiting for the attack order. At the end of September, the Son of Heaven, the eldest princess, and the general arrived at the city of Zhilunu in Zhongshan County.

Suddenly hearing the chaos in Chang'an, the general was furious, and his condition worsened again. The eldest princess was furious, hated Li Wei bitterly, and issued an order to remove Li Wei in order to quickly stabilize Gyeonggi.

Xiao Tianzi categorically refused,

"There is only one word for rebellion, kill, kill to the end, and never tolerate it."

"Now I have the final say on state affairs." The eldest princess shouted,

"How old are you? What do you know? ”

"I'm not old, but I know what it means to raise a tiger." Xiao Tianzi waved his arms and shouted at the top of his voice,

"Bow to rebellion, where is my majesty? Where is the majesty of the imperial court? What is wrong with the Prime Minister's restructuring? These rebels dared to blackmail me, to blackmail the court, and they were innocent. The eldest princess was so angry that tears rained down, and she raised her hand to hit him.

"You know what problem killing, killing, killing can solve?" Xiao Tianzi grabbed the eldest princess's hand, glared and shouted,

"You ordered to kill the prime minister today, and in three years, I will kill all the rebels, and all the nine clans will be destroyed, and no one will be left." The eldest princess was shocked and cold.

The general succeeded, and after five years of fighting horses, he finally turned an ignorant child into a murderous general.

The eldest princess pushed Xiao Tianzi away and rushed into the general's bedroom angrily. She hated the general, she hated the general for snatching Xiao Tianzi away from her, and hated him for turning Xiao Tianzi into a cruel and bloody warrior.

The general was lying on the couch, his face was withered, and his eyes were full of guilt.

"I know it's very unfair to you, but I can't help it, I'm going to die, and so are you, what if we all die, what will he do?" The eldest princess's heart was like a knife, and she hugged the general and cried.

She didn't know the general's thoughts, but the general was a man, not a god, in order to carefully cultivate the little emperor in the past few years, he gave up everything, even the court affairs, he blindly trusted his brothers and subordinates, how did he know that the Han had changed beyond recognition.

The general gently hugged her thin body, leaned into her ear and whispered, "Let's go to Jinyang." In the desert, a strong child like His Majesty will go to war at the age of ten, and at the age of thirteen, he can command a large army to attack the city. When you arrived in Northern Xinjiang, you were only ten years old, and you opened the mansion and commanded me and more than 100,000 soldiers in Northern Xinjiang to conquer the world, and your fame shocked the world. What you can do, why can't Your Majesty do it? Let him go, the world is his. ”

"No, I'm going to Chang'an." The eldest princess burst into tears, kissed Li Hong affectionately, and shook her head resolutely,

"I'm going to Chang'an, I can't leave the community alone. Your Majesty is too young, he doesn't understand anything......"

"Come with me to Jinyang." Li Hong suddenly hugged the eldest princess tightly,

"I may not live long. If God has eyes, let me stand up again, I will marry you......" The eldest princess was stunned, she looked at Li Hong in disbelief, she suspected that she had misheard.

"Follow me to Jinyang." Li Hong said solemnly,

"This is my last wish in this life, I want to marry you." The eldest princess suddenly hugged Li Hong and cried loudly, crying so much that her liver and intestines were broken, and her heart was broken.

September 29, night, Zhongshan State Prime Minister's Mansion lobby. The candles are lit up. The eldest princess's eyes were red and swollen, and she sat upright behind the desk.

On the desk, there is the seal of the Son of Heaven on the left, and a brocade box on the right. Xiao Tianzi stood opposite the eldest princess, looking nervous.

Former General Yushi, General Jia Xu of the Chinese Army, General He Feng of the Protector Army, Yang Ming of Jizhou Thorn, General Sai Feng of Hu Cai, General Mustafa of Changshui, General Wu Xiong of Wumeng, General Peng Lie of Liwu, General Duan Xuan of the Left Middle Lang, General Zhang Xiao of the Right Middle Lang, General Zhang Zhen of the Tiger Ben Zhonglang, Wang Ling of the Right Servant of Shangshu, Liu Fang, Supervisor of the Central Library, Sun Zi of the Servant, Shi Huangyue, Governor of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, Shi Fugan, and Sima Jiang Ji, and other more than 50 civil and military ministers knelt on both sides.

"Do you remember this brocade box?" The eldest princess asked. Xiao Tianzi shook his head.

"Turn it on." Xiao Tianzi looked at the eldest princess suspiciously, stepped forward to open the brocade box, and took out the white silk inside, and there were six crooked words on the white silk.

"Give the leopard to my aunt." Xiao Tianzi immediately understood, but he just couldn't remember when he would write these six words, and what was the purpose of his aunt suddenly taking out this thing?

"Who wrote this?" The eldest princess asked.

"I wrote it." Xiao Tianzi smiled embarrassedly,

"Auntie, this sentence is not written correctly, hehe......"

"Then you rewrite." The eldest princess stood up,

"You have grown up, and the world is yours, but my aunt has nothing but this holy decree......"

"Divine decree?" Xiao Tianzi looked at the eldest princess in surprise. Is this a holy decree? My aunt mobilized the crowd tonight and called a group of civil and military ministers to come, just to let herself turn these six words into a holy decree?

But can this decree be written? There are still three years left before I am in power, and my aunt will be in power for three years, and if this holy decree is written, then the world will change.

"Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Tianzi was so frightened that his voice changed,

"Auntie, this decree can't be written, and even if it does, it will have to wait until three years later."

"How long will he live?" The eldest princess's voice was very calm, which calmly made Xiao Tianzi a little creepy.

"Auntie......" the little emperor pleaded,

"Auntie, please put the community first......"

"You also know that you have to put social welfare first?" The eldest princess smiled bitterly,

"What did you say today?"

"Auntie, I was wrong, I was talking nonsense for a while......"

"Forget it, I just said, this world is yours......" The eldest princess walked up to Xiao Tianzi, took him into her arms, and touched his face affectionately,

"I'll give you the world, I'll go......" Xiao Tianzi was dumbfounded. The ministers of civil and military affairs were also shocked.

The atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became tense.

"Auntie, where are you going?" The little man was pitiful and about to cry.

"You give me the holy decree, I will go to Jinyang, he will live for one day, I will live for one day......" The eldest princess could no longer control her emotions, and tears flowed down.

The ministers knelt down in unison, and no one knew how to dissuade them. The eldest princess loves the general deeply, she gave everything for the Han, today the general's life is on the verge of death, she is determined to leave the court, who can bear to stop it, cruelly crushing the last hope in her heart.

The eldest princess turned to face the ministers, choked up and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty has entrusted it to you." According to the old practice, it will take three more years for Your Majesty to rule, but our Majesty ......" She looked down at the gloomy little Tianzi, and couldn't help but feel very sad, and once again took him into her arms and hugged him tightly,

"He's grown up, he's sensible, he's going to dominate the world......"

"Auntie......" the little Tianzi cried,

"Auntie, don't you go......" The eldest princess squatted down and gently wiped the tears from Xiao Tianzi's face,

"Sit behind the desk, let my aunt give you a big salute, and then I'll go......"

"Auntie......" Xiao Tianzi was terrified for a while, tears rained down, and he grabbed the hand of the eldest princess.

"Auntie, don't you go......" The former general Yushi burst into tears, suddenly straightened up, and shouted wildly: "Please take a seat ...... Your Majesty" The eldest princess suddenly broke free of Xiao Tianzi's hand, took three steps back, and fell to the ground.

"Auntie......" Xiao Tianzi screamed sadly, and pounced on it to grab the eldest princess's hand. Fu Gan suddenly stood up, blocked in front of Xiao Tianzi, picked him up, rushed to the back of the desk in three or two steps, and pressed him tightly on the seat.

"Kneel ......" Jade raised his head and shouted, and the sound shook the lobby.

"Kneeling ......" The eldest princess knelt on the ground, thinking of the ups and downs of the past 17 years, remembering the burden she had borne for 17 years, and thinking of her dead parents and brothers, she could no longer hold back the pain in her heart, and cried bitterly.

On September 29 of the fourth year of Yuanping of the Han Dynasty (20 AD), the eldest princess returned to the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven was in charge.

On September 30 of the fourth year of Yuanping of the Han Dynasty (20 AD), the Son of Heaven decreed that the eldest princess would marry the general Li Hong.

On the same day, the general Li Hong, accompanied by the eldest princess, Xiaoyu and Fengxue, went to Jinyang. Jump to
