Volume 5 False Fifty-two, Crazy Ants (The Grapevine Has Something to Say)

The road is difficult, Chen Caozhi is in Yecheng on the 20th, the weather has been sunny, as soon as he leaves Yecheng and sets foot on the way home, the autumn rain continues, although everyone is wearing rain gear and riding horses, but because there are still a few carriages in the team, so the march is not fast, when the Jizhou Dynasty Song passed on July 29, Ran Sheng and Shen Chiqian took a few retinues to go west to Luoyang, Yan sent an envoy to form an alliance with Jin, then Luoyang will not be attacked by the Yan army for the time being, and Shen Jin, the general of Yangwei who guards Luoyang, can breathe a sigh of relief-

Chen Caozhi asked Shen Chiqian to bring a message to his father Shen Jin, analyzed the situation between Qin and Yan, and predicted that there would be a rebellion before the end of the year, and Yan would take the opportunity to send troops to attack Qin, and it was very likely that Murong Chui would lead the troops, but Fu Jian and Wang Meng should be able to control the situation in Guanzhong and quell the rebellion, and Yan because of the contradiction between the ruling Dazai Murong Ke and the Empress Dowager Ke Zuhun clan, Murong Chui of the Western Expedition to Guanlong could not make great contributions, and there will be a big turmoil in Yan next year, although the timing is excellent, but Shen Jinbing is less than a thousand, Unable to make great profits from the turmoil between the two countries, what he has to do is to take advantage of the turmoil in the Qin State to recruit fleeing refugees, and in addition, he must try his best to win over the Zhuwu in Henan, train the troops with grain, and strengthen his strength, so that he can cooperate with the Huanwen Northern Expedition next year or the year after that-

After the trip to Chang'an and Yecheng, Shen Chiqian admired Chen Caozhi beyond measure, and let Murong Ke and Murong Chui brothers who entered Luoyang with two nursery rhymes to break the siege, and his father Shen Jin's life can be said to have been saved by Chen Caozhi, otherwise, his father Shen Jin will die with the city.

Ran Sheng went to Luoyang for the three hundred sergeants he left in Luoyang, and he had to bring back the three hundred sergeants to Guyu, as well as six hundred war horses, three hundred of which were left by the sergeants of the Qin Mission. It's ridiculous that when Qin envoy Xi Bao left Yedu, he also asked Murong Ke to return his war horse, Murong Ke only paid the bows and arrows of the three hundred Qin army, and did not pay the war horse, how to return him, only Xi Bao was unreasonable and ignored it. Xi Bao's envoy to Jiangdong failed, inexplicably arrived in Yedu, repatriated under house arrest for several days, and his sergeants had no mounts, so they had to walk back to Chang'an, so they were not disappointed, and what made these Qin people even more depressed was the oracle prophecy from the Ximen Leopard Temple. It is said that the Qin lord Fu Jian is not the son of Fu Xiong, but when the Empress Dowager Gou was swimming in Zhangshui and the witch Zhu of the Ximen Leopard Temple, this rumor has also been certified to a certain extent, and the father of Yecheng said that there was a witch Zhu in the Ximen Leopard Temple who had seduced and raped a woman in the temple, and was expelled from Yedu. I don't know what to do, that person should be Fu Jian's biological father-

Shi Xibao, the prime minister of Qin, and his sergeants returned to Chang'an with this news that made them ashamed and depressed, and they were worried all the way, wondering how angry the Qin lord Fu Jian would be when he learned this news?

Ran Sheng and Shen Chiqian hurried to Luoyang. He will lead the three hundred soldiers and war horses to Pingyu Sujiabao as soon as possible to meet Chen Caozhi.

On the first day of August, Chen Caozhi, Yuan Hong, and Huangfuzhen crossed the Yellow River in the rain. Coming to Junyi, an important town in Henan, Junyi is the Kaifeng of later generations, and it is Murong Zhu, the general of Yan Guozuo Zhonglang, who is guarding Junyi, and Murong Zhu is also from the royal family. is Murong Ke's younger brother.

In Junyi, Yuan Hong, who joined the army in Xifu, saw an old man, this person's surname was Zhao Minghong, who was originally the protector of Yang in southern Jin, because he was lured by the golden silk beauties of Yan to offer Wancheng to Yancheng in Shengping five years, Yan Lord Murong Wei named him the general of Zhennan, Yuan Hong had met Zhao Hong in Jingzhou, this meeting, Zhao Hong was quite ashamed, Yuan Hong despised his treason, and ignored it, but Chen Caozhi was quite kind to Zhao Hong, and said some Jiangdong things during the banquet, such as late spring in March, the grass in the south of the Yangtze River grows, the miscellaneous peanut trees, the warblers fly wildly, and various Han customs...... Zhao Hong was overwhelmed with melancholy and yearning, and he was not very ambitious in the Yan Kingdom, so he had the idea of returning to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Early the next morning, Chen Caozhi, Yuan Hong, and Huangfu Zhen said goodbye to Murong Zhu and went on the road, and when Zhao Hong followed Murong Zhu to see off everyone, he quietly said to Chen Caozhi: "Hong was ignorant back then, and now he has repented, I don't know if there is a way to turn back?" ”

Chen Caozhi looked at Zhao Hong and said: "Lian Po Juliang, Sifu is General Zhao, this person's common feelings, lost and returned, not far away, but also praised by the sages, if the general has the thought of the homeland, he has his own way to serve the country, and the period is next year, and the general cherishes it." "Say goodbye.

Zhao Hong figured out the meaning of Chen Cao's words, it should be that the Jin army will go on a northern expedition next year, and Huan Wen's first two northern expeditions were from Di Qin, could it be that Yan will be cut down next year? At that time, if I have turned against me, I will be able to atone for my sinsβ€”

Zuo Zhonglang caught a glimpse of Murong Zhu whispering to Zhao Hong and Chen Caozhi and frowned thoughtfully, puzzled, and rode over to ask, "What did General Zhao and Chen Xima say?" ”

Zhao Hong, as a renegade Han general, has the city government and quick wisdom, and said unhappily: "I thought that this Chen Xima was more friendly to me, but I didn't expect it to be the same as Yuan joining the army, and I didn't forget to ridicule me when I leftβ€”β€”"

"Oh?" Murong Zhu asked, "How can this person ridicule you?" ”

Zhao Hong said with a hint of anger: "Ask me, 'Do you still get used to living in the felt tent in the dome?' Isn't that sarcasm? ”

Murong Zhu laughed and said, "The Xianbei people in the Central Plains are now the same as the Han people's diet and daily life, where is there any dome felt tent that is not used to it, this person should have other intentions to ridicule youβ€”β€”"

Zhao Hong sneered: "Maybe there is some intent to provoke the general, since I, Zhao Hong, have returned to Dayan, and I should be loyal and repaying, how can I be shaken by these three words, do I really think that Zhao Hong is such an unwise person!" ”

Murong Zhu was suspicious, nodded and said: "General Zhao doesn't have to be careful, I just don't understand why Dazai wants to negotiate peace with Jin, and he still sent such an important minister as the emperor's servant - Fu Yan and Murong Chen, the two generals, originally planned to attack Yingchuan and Runan, and wanted to take all the land south of the Jin River, but now they are ordered to garrison in place." ”

Zhao Hong said: "Dazai Zhi is unique, he must have other plans." ”

……

Just when Chen Cao was out of Junyi, Yecheng's rumors about Fu Jian's life experience also spread to Chang'an.

Chang'an Palace City Mingguang Hall open, Fu Jian summoned Wang Meng to discuss secretly, even his younger brother Fu Rong was not summoned, Fu Jian's initial anger has passed, and he is now thinking about how to eliminate the impact of this rumor and stabilize the situation in Guan and Long.

Wang Meng frowned and pondered for a long time, and said: "Your Majesty must first arrange heavy troops in the areas of Huayin, Shaanxian County, and Tongguan to prevent the Yan army from attacking, and also guard against the attack of the Yan army on the front line of Pucheng and Chengcheng. Your Majesty must be prepared to put down the rebellion, and it is inevitable that this rumor will be exploited. ”

Fu Jian hated and hated: "Xianbei Bainu is too vicious, he actually created such a rumor to slander me, and I swore to set foot in Yedu and humiliate me with snow." He added: "Xi Bao has entered the customs, and I have urgently ordered him to stay in Huayin temporarily." They are not allowed to enter Chang'an, and if these sergeants are allowed to enter Chang'an, the rumors will be even more boiling. ”

Wang Meng shook his head and said: "Your Majesty's move is inappropriate, Xi Changshi and the others are stranded in Huayin and do not enter Chang'an, which will only make people more suspicious, Xi Changshi's three hundred people have returned from Yecheng, and they must eliminate the influence of rumors." With the help of them, the minister immediately wrote a secret letter and sent Dou Lang to Huayin urgently, telling Xi Bao to strictly restrain the three hundred soldiers. If you want to say that this rumor is a conspiracy of the Xianbei people, and it is to mess with my Daqin, Ye has been rumors recently. Isn't there a nursery rhyme that says Murong Ke wants to usurp the throne and stand on his own? These rumors should also be widely spread in Chang'an, so that the people of Qin can pay attention to the rumors of the Ximen Leopard Temple. ”

Fu Jian nodded yes. Ordered Wang Meng to write a secret letter to Xi Bao in Lutangcao.

Wang Meng picked up the pen to write a letter, and halfway through the writing, he put down the pen and said to Fu Jian: "Your Majesty, the minister has thought of a method again." In this way, the Xianbei royal family is suspicious of each other and is too busy to take care of themselves, so they can't send troops to attack our Daqin, and there are too many rumors to slander you, and the people are naturally tired of it, so Your Majesty can calmly deal with the crisis. ”

Fu Jian praised Wang Meng's wise plan and asked the rumors?

Wang Meng said: "It is reported that the Empress Dowager Yan can be Zuhun is extremely beautiful, Murong Jun died when Kezu Hun was less than 30 years old, white slave sexual lewdness, then Zuhun must also be unwilling to be lonely, but Zuhun is disgusted with Murong Chui, rumors might as well start here, just say that Ke Zuhun intends to fornicate with Murong Chui, Murong Chui refuses, but Zuhun hate, so he devotes himself to Murong Commentary, defiles the court, and so on, what does Your Majesty think?" ”

Fu Jian stroked his palms and laughed: "Jing is slightly talented, although it is a guess, I am afraid that the truth is like this." Suddenly thinking that he was also riddled with scandals, he changed his words and said: "This rumor is enough to make the Murong clan busy for a while. ”

At this time, the chamberlain Zhao Cheng reported outside the hall that there was a vision on the side of the Xuanping Gate in the east and the Zhicheng Gate in the west, and the people of Chang'an were discussing-

Fu Jian asked, "What kind of vision is it?" ”

Zhao Quandao: "It's the rumor of the Leopard Temple in the West Gate of Yecheng." ”

Fu Jian exclaimed: "There are rumors again!" ”

Wang Meng said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, when the ministers go, they will be properly handled by Your Majesty." ”

Wang Meng out of the Mingguang Palace, and the eunuch Zhao Cheng first ran closer to the straight city gate, only to see the crowd of people, shoulder to shoulder, there are thousands of people here to watch, Wang Meng ordered his soldiers to disperse the crowd, go in to see, you see that the mud on the left side of the road densely gathered countless ants, black ants, yellow ants, about the size of the abbot so large.

Zhao Cheng said in a low voice: "Wang Shangshu, please look, these ants are faintly composed of sixteen words-"

Wang Meng was reminded by Zhao Cheng, and then looked at it, and couldn't help but be taken aback, those ants seemed to be messy, but it was vaguely arguable that they were in the shape of sixteen big characters, which was the oracle of the Leopard Temple in the west gate of Yecheng:

β€”β€”Cast witches to control water, and Zhang's soup will not be in the end. There is a blessing to the gods, and it will be eternal.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Xiaodao had a little cold yesterday, and he didn't have a full chapter, so he will make up for it today.

Recently, there are still readers in the book review area who are a little dissatisfied with Chen Caozhi written by Xiaodao, thinking that Cao Zhi pretends to be B, not chic, not romantic, and some people think that Cao Zhi should stay in Yan Country to develop, Xiaodao is a little helpless, maybe the Qinghe princess written by Xiaodao is more expressive, has a character, Lori is likable, and many readers are dissatisfied after being rejected by Chen Caozhi, so that Xiaodao asked for votes yesterday and no book friends responded, can't the harem write cute female characters? Xiaodao thinks that Chen Caozhi's choice is the wisest, can he still quietly take Princess Lori back to Jiangdong, which is of course very cool and YY, but is it feasible?

Chen Caozhi's character has been decided, and the style of this book has long been determined, perhaps he is a little restrained, and the style of this book is not very popular, but Xiaodao will insist on writing it like this, because this is "Shangpin Hanshi", not anything else.

In the last half day of the double monthly pass, Xiaodao wants to ask for another ticket, but I don't know how many book friends can support it? (To be continued)
