Chapter Fifty-Three: The Fruit of Contempt
"Alright! Get ready to go! Han Sui heard the conversation between the two back and forth, and felt quite satisfied, and his heart was filled with love.
"Lord, I almost forgot about the big thing." Cheng Gongying patted his head.
Han Sui asked, "What's the matter?" β
"Do you think we should contact Li Xiangru, Song Jian and others to jointly promote the kingdom as the leader?" Cheng Gongying smiled treacherously.
Han Sui pondered for a while and understood the deep meaning, so he agreed: "It makes sense, you go and get in touch!" β
After all, rebellion is a great stain on itself, and leaving a name not only insults the ancestors, but also the descendants of the future generations will bear its guilt. If the reputation of the first offender is relinquished, why not? In the future, if the army is defeated, he can still avoid death, and the leader will definitely not be able to save his life.
Song Xin scolded in his heart, and let it go.
Then the three of them discussed and decided on the expedition, and Cheng Gongying was responsible for contacting Zhao Xiao and Jiuquan Taishou Huang Yan, and he himself had to personally contact the heroes of the Qiang tribe. Since killing Beigong Boyu, the representative of Qiang Hu, Qiang Hu has slowly begun to resist, if he doesn't think about countermeasures, I'm afraid he will soon lose this strong reinforcement. In this advance, the siege of the city came second, and the acquisition of soldiers and horses was the most important.
In the county guard mansion of Ji County, Hanyang, Geng Wei was arguing with the county guard Fu Xie, the two of them were red-faced, and Cheng Qiu, Xin Zeng, Kong Chang and other subordinates were silent on the side.
"The rule of the monarch is shallow, and the number of people is unknown. Confucius said: If you don't teach people to fight, you are abandoning them. Fu Xie said helplessly.
"Humph! What does it mean to abandon it? Now I am ordered by the Son of Heaven to beg the traitors, and all the people of my Han Dynasty can not serve their lives! Geng retorted.
"Those who are not accustomed to it today will be in danger if they cross the obstacles of the mountains. The border soldiers are brave, and their edges are difficult to bear, and the new people, up and down, have not been reconciled, in case of internal changes, although there is no regret. If you don't stop the army and cultivate morality, you will be punished if you are rewarded. If the thief is lenient, he will say that he is cowardly, and the evil will fight, and he will leave. Then lead those who have been taught, and please the thieves who have left, and their merits can sit and wait. Now it is not a perfect blessing, but a disaster that will be dangerous, and stealing is not to be taken by the king. Fu Xie persuaded again.
"Liangzhou, a place that has been war-torn for a long time, hates Qianghu, and is suffering from bereavement, it is the time when the enemy is the same, why is there discord?" Geng Wei walked to the main seat, "Fu Taishou doesn't need to say anything, set off in three days." β
Fu Xie was so angry that he almost fainted, raised his trembling arm, and pointed at him, Wan Shi's hard work was blocked in his chest, and it was indescribably heavy. Xin Zeng and Kong Chang stepped forward and stood aside and helped them out.
Cheng Qiu saw what Fu Xie did with his own eyes, and gave a blow in his greedy heart, although it was not heavy, it made him uncomfortable.
Fu Xie is sad more than sad and joyful, and even adds a little grievance in his heart, even if you Fu Xie is guilty, your career will be smooth sailing, and I am despised? What are your origins? What am I from? You group of things that seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, everyone praises Kong Rong for being able to make pears at the age of four, and you all praise him for being smart and sensible, this son is extraordinary. But what do you think about his origin? What is the origin of the person who can steal pears at the age of four? You always stand at the highest level of morality, criticize this, criticize that, don't you look at what kind of virtue you have, what actions have you done that are beneficial to the common people?
I'm selfish, but you're no better, I've worked so hard to climb to this position, it's the fruit of my life, how can I let you destroy? Even if this fruit is rancid, I will protect it desperately.
Cheng Qiu looked at Fu Xie, who was trembling all over, and felt a pressure, he didn't dare to make a sound, and even breathed much softer.
Scouts on both sides galloped back and forth like land crows. Bring back the news of the enemy one after another, and this news is like the name of the book of life and death.
Time turned, and it had been five days since Li Yuan returned to Luomenju, and during this period, Han Sui led an army of 100,000 to occupy Pingxiang and went straight to Luoyang.
"With its use of the place is called Luo, the rule is in the south of Xiangshan Yang", so the name is Luoyang. If you want to say that the street pavilion is Guan Long's throat, then Luoyang is the hands and feet.
At the beginning, Kui Huan seized Longyou, and was forced to declare himself a vassal to Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu due to the situation. In Yizhou Gongsun Shu captured Nanyang, Liu Xiu ordered him to cut down Shu from Tianshui, but Kui Huan politely refused on the grounds that Yizhou's terrain was dangerous. Liu Xiu was furious and sent Jianwei General Geng Yi and other seven generals to attack Shu from Longdao, and ordered Lai Xi to inform him in advance. Kui Huan naturally understood that this was a false plan to destroy the enemy, of course he would not listen, so he had to throw himself into the arms of Gongsun Shu.
Two years later, he led more than 2,000 troops to attack Luoyang from the mountain road, and successfully resisted the counterattack of tens of thousands of troops from Kui, making great contributions to pacifying Longyou.
Now Han Sui imitates his predecessors and occupies Luoyang and controls Hanyang, and his intention is obvious.
Geng Contempt immediately led his troops to the north and set up a position in Luoyang to meet the rebels; Li Yuan, on the other hand, guarded Luomen Ju and met the coalition forces of Longxi County led by the kingdom.
"My lord, can you fight this time?" Wen Chou's words made everyone in the tent laugh.
Li Yuan said solemnly: "This time it will definitely be!" β
After finishing speaking, I also laughed, no wonder, although the army is rushing to the battlefield every day, but the battlefield is always moving, like hide and seek, just to amuse you.
"This time I will definitely kill a lot, especially the kingdom, since the beginning of the rebellion, it has been hiding in Tibet, so what is a rebellion, it is obviously a brain problem." Wen Chou's words made everyone laugh again.
"Such a person is ignorant and unscrupulous, and only serves the superficial benefits, but does not perceive the dangers inside. As the saying goes, even if the kingdom is immortal, it is a beast without a mind. Wealth and power are not only not enjoyment in him, but also persecution all the time. Han Yuanyuan said farther and farther, and spit out the words in her chest, "If you want to say this word power, don't say that it is the mediocre villain, that is, the adult who has been influenced by the scriptures, and how many people can escape." In my opinion......"
Li Yuan saw that he didn't have a door in his mouth, but the more he listened, the more he became addicted to it, so he ignored him and let him continue to talk to himself.
But some of the generals didn't understand, and all the joyful scenes just now were gone, and everyone stared at him and watched his performance.
But after waiting for a while, seeing that he was still talking to himself, he was a little impatient, He Man was more naΓ―ve than Wen Chou, and interrupted: "Han Yuanyuan, you are endless, an adult for a while, a villain for a while, and it is also involved in Xiang Yu's body, how many years has he been dead, what are you doing with him?" β
Han Yuanyuan was interrupted by him, and she was unhappy in her heart, but listening to him simply ask, although it was a reckless man's words, there was also some truth in it.
After all, Li Yuan is different from these brave men, he is a sensual person, and when Han Yuanyuan said halfway, his thoughts flew high, thinking about his life, but where can you fly to? Your heaven and earth are made by your experience, and if you can't break through the limitations of this experience, you will always be confined to heaven and earth. Ask the Buddha, think the Buddha. Of course, this is what he does not know, and he still has a long way to go.
Han Yuanyuan nodded, hugged her fists and said, "Rude, rude!" β
Li Yuan also gathered his thoughts and said with a smile: "Yuanyuan, you have a lot to say." You are much more powerful than Han Sui, and you defeated us at once. I think I have to discuss it with Geng Tingshi, and let you say that you will surrender 100,000 troops with one mouth. β
When Han Yuanyuan heard such teasing, her face turned red, and everyone laughed again, and they all said, "Yes! I think the strategy of the adults will definitely work. β
