Chapter 109: Rebellion of the Seven Kings
It turned out that the general outside the hall was Xiang Yu, and he had been fighting with Tong Zhongxian in the past few days against the coalition of the Seven Kings. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Unexpectedly, the rebel army led by King Wu Yue was like a bamboo, attacking all the way in the direction of Jingzhou City, and Tong Zhongxian suffered several defeats. Originally, Xiang Yu proposed to Tong Zhongxian several times that although the coalition army of the Seven Kings was strong, it had its own agenda, and the army was not as united as the Wang Shi of Southern Chu, as long as he had the courage to attack them with one blow, he would definitely be able to wipe them out. But Tong Zhongxian was originally a timid and fearful person, and this time Emperor Xuanhe asked him to supervise the war.
Even if King Wu Yue really invaded Jingzhou, he had already thought of the plan to flee to the Khitan, anyway, as early as the Jinshui Fort Change, he had already been the Khitan Emperor's Southern Chu traitor, and from time to time he would report some Southern Chu movements to the Khitan Emperor. This time the Seven Kings Rebellion initiated by King Wuyue, he hurriedly sent a secret letter to Yelu Hongye, but he did not receive a reply for a long time.
Tong Zhongxian always adopted a passive evasion strategy in the face of the rebels' attack, and his position was lost in training. Xiang Yu saw it in his eyes and hated it in his heart, in the dead of night that day, Xiang Yu was sleeping, and Tong Zhongxian happened to come to his camp to discuss with him about retreating from his current position again. As soon as Tong Zhongxian approached him, Xiang Yu's eyes widened, and he suddenly pulled out a sword beside him and stabbed Tong Zhongxian, hitting the heart and killing him on the spot. Poor Tong Zhongxian calculated all his life, and in the end he died under the sword of his sleeping son.
It turned out that Xiang Yu never slept with his eyes, and killed people in his dreams, so he accidentally killed Tong Zhongxian. This time, he came to ask the emperor for his guilt with Tong Zhongxian's head. The emperor and the princes and ministers were all surprised to learn what had happened. It just so happened that the emperor also wanted to give Tong Zhongxian the death penalty, and this time Xiang Yu was able to avoid the embarrassment of meeting Tong Zhongxian and directly help him solve his life, which can be said to be a great achievement. Emperor Xuanhe continued to order him to lead the army against the rebels.
In fact, Xiang Yu has never been good at killing people in his dreams, and he will not sleep with his eyes open. Everything was prepared by him in advance, and he knew that Tong Zhongxian would find him that night to discuss the affairs of the army, so he deliberately fell asleep and took the opportunity to cut off Tong Zhongxian's head. Before the soldiers found out, he was still angry and cut off Tong Zhongxian's head as a night pot to pee, and whipped his body fiercely, and insulted Tong Zhongxian from time to time until he was exhausted.
Of course, now Emperor Xuanhe will not hold Xiang Yu accountable for killing Tong Zhongxian, the top priority is to let the Seven Kings see their sincerity in seeking peace, and if one Tong Zhongxian dies, there will be another Li Zhongxian and Wang Zhongxian.
However, Tong Zhongxian was sacrificed in vain, killing Tong Zhongxian did not stop the army of the Seven Kingdoms from attacking, King Wuyue heard the news that Emperor Xuanhe had killed Tong Zhongxian, and laughed in the sky, this idiot really thinks that we are going to rebel for the sake of the Qing monarch's side? His father was really blind when he passed the throne to him.
The Seven-Nation Alliance believed that Emperor Xuanhe was weak and incompetent, so King Wuyue proclaimed himself Emperor of the North, fought against the Southern Chu regime, and refused to see Li Mi. Emperor Xuanhe then made up his mind to suppress the rebellion by force, but some generals who could fight in the court were either framed to death by Tong Zhongxian or returned to their hometowns. At this time, Xiang Yu took the initiative to ask Ying to lead the troops to resist the rebels of the Seven Kingdoms. Emperor Xuanhe readily agreed, and sent him thirty-six generals to assist him in defending against the allied forces attacking from all directions. In addition to Li Mi, who was back in charge of internal affairs, Xiang Yu had the greatest power in military power, completely replacing the previous position of Tong Zhongxian.
On the other hand, Emperor Xuanhe saw that the Khitan Emperor was his ally but had not supported for a long time, so he immediately sent Li Mi as an envoy to the Khitan and asked for an increase in troops.
King Wu Yue looked at the army in the distance and drove straight into attacking Southern Chu, and showed a satisfied smile.
"Father, we are now attacking Southern Chu with all our might, what if the Khitan and Western Xia in the north sneak up on our rear?" Xiong Shiren has been marching and fighting with King Wu Yue for the past few days, and he is much more mature than he already is, and he knows how to be prepared for danger in times of peace.
"Having said that, but Shiren, you look up to our weak emperor too much, what ability does he have to move Yelu Hongye to help him. Although we have collapsed with the Khitan, but now the Khitan is now turned upside down by a person called Wuwei Taoist, and the emperor only knows about alchemy and cultivation of immortals all day long, and the other side is still suppressing the development of Western Xia. He is too busy to take care of himself, can he still take care of Nanchu? Se-in, it's you who are too worried this time. King Wu Yue wiped a sword that Ou Jiansheng forged that was comparable to the Longquan Sword, and said confidently.
"Father, the child is still a little worried, not to mention that my sister is still in Qiantang, in case the rear is lost, my father's decades of hard work in Qiantang will be ruined by the Khitan. Please think twice. Xiong Shiren knelt down and pleaded with Xiong Hui.
Xiong Hui sighed and said, "It's okay, it seems that it can only be like this." If only at this time, Xiaoyu was here, I would be relieved to have him in charge of Wu Yue, his Flying Tiger Army is famous for his martial arts, and there are many strange tricks and tricks, which are very powerful. It's a pity that in order to preserve his strength, he could only sacrifice him to go to Jingzhou as a hostage, and I don't know what his situation is now. ”
Xiong Shiren was angry as soon as he heard Lu Xiaoyu, without him, he would be more favored in front of King Wu Yue, and now there is one more Lu Xiaoyu, although he is his brother-in-law, but in the final analysis, he is just an outsider who is not related by blood, he said angrily: "Father, don't worry, he Lu Xiaoyu can do it, and I Xiong Shiren can do it, not to mention that I still have places where he can't do it." The Flying Tiger Army has been thinking very highly of itself since following Lu Xiaoyu, and they disobeyed their father's orders, so let them stay in the barren mountains. This Lu Xiaoyu died well, it's a big deal that I will take care of my sister for the rest of her life. ”
Xiong Shiren's affection for his sister itself is somewhat beyond family affection, and after he saw Xiong Zhener and Lu Xiaoyu get married, the subtle emotions were further intensified. King Wu Yue, as his father, had already noticed it, and he immediately picked up the scabbard on the table and hit Xiong Shiren on the shoulder heavily, "Bastard, what nonsense are you talking about, why don't you go and guard Qiantang quickly, let me hear you have such words in the future, and I will let you go to guard the tomb for three years for your dead mother." ”
Xiong Shiren didn't dare to say much, and when he heard that he was going to guard his mother's tomb for three years, he couldn't care about the pain in his shoulder, so he was so frightened that he ran away, and returned to Qiantang with his people.
In the main hall of the Khitan imperial palace, Li Mi stood below without humility or arrogance, waiting for the Khitan Emperor to receive him.
With a burst of "the emperor arrived", the Khitan Emperor came to the palace with several ministers, Li Mi bent slightly on one knee, bent down and bowed.
A familiar voice came from above the palace, "I haven't seen you for a long time, Prime Minister Li Cheng is a lot haggard." ”
Li Mi looked up and was surprised to see that on the second seat next to Yelu Hongye was sitting the Wuwei Taoist who had bewitched Emperor Xuanhe at the beginning, shaking a feather fan and looking at him with a smile.
