Emperor Ling's car drove to Tangyin County and stayed to rest for three days. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Wang Fen, who was waiting for the battle, was very anxious, according to his original expectation, Emperor Ling would arrive in Yecheng before Jiang Sheng's army arrived, and now it seems that Jiang Sheng arrived first, although Xu Yu went to entangle Jiang Sheng, but he did not dare to guarantee success, Wang Fen led the army south to Tangyin to take the initiative.

In terms of the level of reconnaissance, Wang Fen's scouts are not at the same level as Jiang Sheng's, and Wang Fen's movements have long been discovered by Jiang Sheng.

Jiang Sheng hated Wang Fen, but he couldn't wave his army to fight Wang Fen, after all, Wang Fen was still kind to him, and when Jiang Sheng was framed for rebellion, Wang Fen also contacted many county officials to support Jiang Sheng.

After weighing the pros and cons, Jiang Sheng led the cavalry to bypass Wang Fen's troops, went to meet Emperor Ling, and then escorted Emperor Ling to bypass Yecheng and go north from Wei County, while the Lingbu army turned east and entered Wei County to prevent Wang Fen from intercepting halfway, as long as Emperor Ling left Wei County under Jiang Sheng's escort, Wang Fen would be hopeless and would give up the matter of abolishing Emperor Ling, but unfortunately, Zhao Zhong and other attendants were also able to survive.

Wang Fen's troops were all infantry and archers, and their speed was far inferior to Jiang Sheng's elite cavalry. Jiang Sheng was able to catch up with Emperor Ling in front of Wang Fen, but Xu You did not catch up with Jiang Sheng and returned in vain.

"The last general will knock on the emperor!" Jiang Sheng came to visit Emperor Ling.

"No need to be polite! I ordered you to wait in Yecheng, why did you come here? ”

"Your Majesty, Jizhou is not a prosperous age, and it is difficult to keep lawbreakers who will offend the emperor, so the last general will leave Jizhou without authorization, and I hope that the emperor will forgive his sins!"

"Hahaha, what is the crime of you coming to escort?"

"Your Majesty, the last general has the courage to say a word, please ask the emperor to return to Beijing." Jiang Sheng arched his hand.

"Return? Are you also opposed to me patrolling the river? ”

"Your Majesty, the traitor Zhang Chun travels back and forth between Jiyou, his whereabouts are unpredictable, and the last general will not dare to trust him, so he will ask the emperor to return to Beijing temporarily, and it will not be too late to come back when Jizhou is completely peaceful!"

"I believe in your abilities, you've come here with your army, what else do I have to worry about? Don't persuade me, I've made up my mind, so you can do your duty. ”

Jiang Sheng saw that Emperor Ling was unmoved, so he said: "Since the emperor insists on going north, please allow the last general to adjust the marching route, if the emperor does not agree, the last general will definitely block the imperial car." ”

Emperor Ling said: "Okay, I will follow your route." ”

Jiang Sheng said: "Then please ask the emperor to bypass Yecheng and go north from Wei County instead, and the last general will escort the whole process." ”

"Quasi-play!"

When Wang Fen led the army to Tangyin, Jiang Sheng had already escorted Emperor Ling's car through Wei County, and the 20,000-step army was behind the palace to prevent Wang Fen from leading the army to chase after him.

Wang Fen learned that Emperor Ling had changed his route, and hurriedly led the army to chase after him, and when he walked to Wei County, he found that the big flag with the word "Jiang" was fluttering in front of him, and it turned out to be Jiang Sheng's infantry army.

When the general of the infantry army saw Wang Fen leading the army coming, he said loudly: "Lord Wang, please go back, my lord can't bear to dig his own grave, and the special general will wait here." ”

"Did your lord say what the official was going to do?" Wang Fen was worried about whether Jiang Sheng had betrayed him.

"The last general doesn't know, the lord didn't mention it, only said that I conveyed his words, and the lord will understand."

"Jiang Sheng is escorting the emperor to the north?"

"Exactly, the lord of my family escorted the emperor to inspect the river, and never left the emperor's car."

"In this case, the official has accepted his fate, please ask the general to thank General Jiang Zhonglang on behalf of the official." Wang Fen knew that since Jiang Sheng had intervened, it would be impossible to abolish the Spirit Emperor, so he was disheartened and returned to Yecheng with the team.

At both ends of the table, Jiang Sheng escorted Emperor Ling to Deguan Tao and stayed to rest.

"Zicheng, Wang Fen's previous resurgence of the Black Mountain thieves is to raise troops to fight against the thieves, I have come all the way, but I have seen the people living and working in peace and contentment, and there is no trace of the Black Mountain thieves."

"The emperor inspects the river for the benefit of the people, how can the Black Mountain thief make a mistake? The emperor can't see the Black Mountain thief, but the emperor's grace is mighty, and the Black Mountain thief doesn't want to be a thief anymore. Whether it is a black mountain thief or a yellow turban thief, they are originally the people, as long as the emperor blesses the people, the thief is the people, if the emperor is deceived by the traitor, so that the people have many complaints, then the people are thieves. Jiang Sheng boldly admonished.

Emperor Ling listened thoughtfully, and after a while, Emperor Ling said: "Since the Black Mountain thieves are willing to keep to themselves and return to the people, then Wang Fen does not need to raise troops to suppress the thieves, even if there are some stubborn people, there is Zicheng, it is not a trouble." The edict was passed on, and Wang Fen was ordered to quit the army, that is, to go to Hejian Lecheng County (the seat of Hejian State) to wait for the drive. ”

After Emperor Ling rested in Guantao, he went north under the escort of Jiang Sheng, and went to the river through Qinghe Kingdom, and Wang Fen also received an edict at this time.

"Could it be that the emperor found out about my plan?" Wang Fen exclaimed.

"Brother Wenzu, don't worry, if the emperor finds out, he will definitely send Jiang Sheng to attack, today I just ordered you to stop the army and go to the river to meet you, it is likely to be to ask about the Black Mountain thieves. Although we are white, we can also go north with Brother Wen and take care of one or two. Xu Yu said.

"Brother Ziyuan, this matter is not so simple, I feel that it is more auspicious to go to the river. Friends, I can't bother you, so please come back. Wang Fen refused the kindness of her friends to accompany her to the river.

Everyone knew that Wang Fen had always been stubborn, and they were no longer reluctant, and they all returned to their hometowns.

Wang Fen had a ghost in his heart, thinking about it day and night, and finally he was frightened, left the seal ribbon in the Taishou Mansion, and then absconded.

It is said that after Emperor Ling arrived in Lecheng, he didn't see Wang Fen for a long time, so he sent someone to Yecheng to summon him, but he was told that Wang Fen hung a seal and sealed the gold and didn't know where to go. A few days later, news came from Qingzhou that Wang Fen had committed suicide in Pingyuan County.

Emperor Ling was very strange, so he asked Jiang Sheng: "Zicheng, why did this Wang Fen commit suicide?" ”

Jiang Sheng naturally knew why Wang Fen committed suicide, he was a rebel and failed, and he frightened himself, but in order to protect Wang Fen's family, Jiang Sheng couldn't say the reason for this.

Jiang Sheng replied: "Lord Wang must be worried that the emperor will be blamed for the resurgence of the Black Mountain thieves, so he may have committed suicide in fear of crime." ”

Emperor Ling shook his head and sighed, "How can the resurgence of the Black Mountain Thief be his Wang Fen's sin?" Wang Fen has always been high, but he can't see through the joints, what a pity. ”

"Your Majesty, although Lord Wang has been a little derelict in his duties, he has been in office for four years to appease the people, resume production, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, which can be regarded as a meritorious minister. The last general dared to ask the emperor to give an edict to the descendants of Wang Fen's family and give more comfort to Wang Fen's merits. ”

"Zicheng is benevolent, and I am not hard-hearted, so according to your wishes, bury Wang Fen and reward his family and grandchildren."

"Thank you for your grace!" Jiang Sheng bowed and thanked him.

"Tomorrow, I'm going to go to the old mansion to have a look, eighteen years have passed, and every time I remember my childhood, I can't help but burst into tears."

"The emperor misses the old, which is really a blessing for the people in the river. It's just that the old mansion should be repaired. Jiang Sheng said.

"Alas, my old residence can't bear to be dilapidated, it's time to repair it."
