Volume VIII: The North-South Controversy

Chapter 3: Looking down on the 800-mile Dongting and looking back at the 3,000-mile mountains and rivers (3)

Not long after Lin Renzhao went out, Zhou Zong came into the house and saw that Xu Zhihe was reviewing the documents, so he didn't bother immediately, and sat aside and waited. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Xu Zhixuan glanced up at Zhou Zong, and when he saw the other party's appearance, he knew that although Zhou Zong had something to do, it was not urgent, so he finished reading the Chinese book in his hand, and then raised his head and asked Zhou Zong's purpose for coming.

"I just got the news that Li Congjing left Luoyang and went to Shandong." Zhou Zong said, "The Xuanwu army, which was in rebellion in Bianzhou, was beaten by the Hundred Battles Army for three days, and the city was declared to be captured. ”

"The city was taken in three days?" Xu Zhihe was surprised, although he didn't expect the Xuanwu Army to really be able to carry it for long, but it was taken in three days, it was still too fast, "The Yicheng Army didn't go to support?" ”

Zhou Zong said bitterly: "Accompanying the Hundred Battles Army to Bianzhou, there are officials of the Li Tang Criminal Department, before the siege of the city, they read out Li Siyuan's edict, named those who colluded with Kang Yicheng, plotted to kill Kong Xun and plotted against the names of the generals, saying that only these generals will be punished, and no other people will be punished, and then Kong Xun came to the city and asked the Xuanwu Army to obey the imperial edict and surrender. Although the Xuanwu army did not mutini again immediately, two days after the onslaught of the Hundred Battles Army, some of the soldiers still killed the generals, opened the city gates, and welcomed the Hundred Battles Army in. As for the Yicheng Army, it did not appear, and it is estimated that because the Xuanwu Army was defeated too quickly, they did not have time to support. ”

Xu Zhihe nodded to show his understanding, and then sneered, "These arrogant generals, think that by killing those generals and welcoming the hundred battle troops into the city, they can exchange Bianzhou for nothing?" It's too late. What happened to Kong Xun? ”

"I haven't heard of it." Zhou Zong shook his head, his face solemn, "The Military Intelligence Department's blow to the Tsing Yi Yamen is too hard, and it is very inconvenient to transmit news from all over the country now, and it has been a long time since the incident reached Jinling. ”

Xu Zhihe still didn't give up, "The Xuanwu Army was flattened in three days, and it is expected that the Yicheng Army, the Tianping Army, and the Pinglu Army will be able to hold on to the month at most, why did Li Congjing go to Shandong in person at this time?" ”

In fact, even if the Tsing Yi Yamen does not pass on the news, the businessmen are enough to bring the news to Jinling, "I heard that when Li Congjing traveled eastward, he brought a large number of officials, and he wanted to use these officials to replace the unjudicial officials in the towns after the towns were pacified, and then led them to carry out the Li Tang New Deal - Li Tang New Deal, which has been carried out to the deepening stage, Shandong is quite rich, Li Congjing urged Shandong Prefecture and County to focus on the implementation of the new policy, which is indeed conducive to the current tax collection." It is rumored that Li Tang trained the forbidden army too quickly, and the officials embezzled too much, resulting in poor finances and many difficulties in the new policy, otherwise Li Congjing would not have personally gone to Shandong. ”

Xu Zhihe nodded, "The autumn grain is about to be collected, and the autumn tax will also be collected, Li Congjing rushed to Shandong at this time, it seems that he really wants to quickly quell the rebellion in Shandong and ensure the autumn grain and autumn tax - so it seems that Li Tang's treasury is indeed not as full as imagined." ”

He smiled, "The current war in Chudi, if Li Tang can lose all his blood, it is enough to make Li Tang breathless for several years." ”

Zhou Zong showed an excited expression, "If we can destroy the Jiangling Water Master this time, my Dawu can still take advantage of the situation to fight for Jiangling again!" ”

Xu Zhihe bowed slightly.

Half of the three days had passed, Li Congrong was suddenly interested, and wanted to go to see the battlefield in advance, which was of course opposed by the generals, and finally helpless, Li Congrong could only go to the border of Shishou County and look at the east of the river.

Bian Hao was also very helpless, Li Congjing went to the east of Shishou, he could only follow, originally he wanted to see the preparations of the Tang army again to ensure that there would be no accidents, but now he can't - but even if there are any accidents, he can't spread the news, because the Tang rangers have left Jiangling and go east from both sides of the strait to clean up the possible Wu spies to ensure that when the army goes east along the river, it will not be detected by Wu in advance.

Li Congrong, who lived in a high-rise boat, blew the river breeze on the bow of the boat, and Li Congrong, who was in a green shirt and leather belt, was full of spirits, and he didn't know where he got a folding fan, and he wanted to shake it twice on his chest, but as soon as he opened it, the wind blew the fan and trembled, and finally he could only put it away.

"The great river goes east, the waves are exhausted, and the eternal romantic characters. To the west of the base, humanity is, Zhou Lang Chibi of the Three Kingdoms. The rocks pierced the air, the waves crashed on the shore, and thousands of piles of snow were rolled up. The country is picturesque, how many heroes at one time! Li Congrong used his hand as a pen to scribble in the void in front of him, as if he had written all the words on the scenery on both sides of the river.

"It's still quite far from Chibi." Bian Hao walked out of the cabin, saw the appearance of Li Congrong's green shirt and leather belt, shook his head secretly, and said in his heart This is all in Chudi, you don't have to learn Li Congjing's style all the time, right? "But His Highness's lyrics are very good, and it sounds arrogant, I don't know if there is a lower level?"

Lou Boat Jiangzhongxing, Jiangjing retreated, Li Congrong lost one hand behind his back, one hand on his chest, indescribable freehand chic, "Thinking about Gongjin back then, Xiao Qiao got married for the first time." Majestic and heroic, lupine scarf, talking and laughing, the canopy is gone. The old country fugue, affectionate should laugh at me, born early. Life is like a dream, and one is still in the moon! ”

Bian Ho is also a first-class talent, listening to the words, he is fascinated, and he has a lot of pride in his life.

That's it, he smiled and said: "Your Highness likes poetry, and there are many creations, but now that this word comes out, it is enough to weigh all the poems in the past." It's just that the sentence of early birth is a little unexpected. ”

"Of course not!" Li Congrong waved his arm, turned around abruptly, and said loudly, shocking Bian Hao.

He stared at the Jinling genius in front of him, his eyes were red for some time, and he almost gritted his teeth and said: "Because this word was not made by me!" ”

Bian Hao was stunned, because Li Congrong looked like a wolf and a tiger.

Li Congrong said word by word: "Seventeen from the army, two or three from the country, two or seven with a good hair, of course not me, but my brother!" ”

Bian Ho didn't know why, and looked at Li Congrong who suddenly looked like a cannibal.

Li Congjing flicked his sleeves, turned his back to Bian Hao, and looked at Da Jiang in front of him again, his hands clenched into fists hanging at his sides, clenched very tightly, so that Bian Ho could see the green tendons protruding from the back of his hands.

Bian Ho was full of doubts, but he still walked to Li Congrong's side and saluted: "Your Highness......"

When the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back, because Bian Hao was surprised to see that Li Congrong's red eyes had already shed two lines of tears.

Bian Hao's heart shook slightly, but after a while, he realized the reason for Li Congrong's gaffe. Yes, Li Congjing is both civil and military, not only has outstanding military achievements, but there are few enemies in the country, and even poetry and books are all excellent, it is rumored that he has been in the army for ten years, and he wants to be pampered when he wants to pee, and may even enjoy the favor alone, which not only makes Li Congrong feel inferior and powerless, but must have been very jealous!

The reason why Li Congrong invited him to assist and compete with Li Congjing when there was no hope at all must have been planted for this root. However, over the past few years, in order to hide his ambitions, Li Congrong has to be cautious everywhere, and even imitate Li Congjing everywhere, especially since the end of last year, this imitation is even deeper into the bone marrow, how great is the pain in the meantime, how can mortals endure it?

As long as this expedition wins, Li Congrong will not only be able to raise his eyebrows, but will also make people realize that he is not worse than Li Congjing! At that time, everyone will know that among the princes of the Tang Dynasty, there is not only one Li Congjing, who can inherit the throne, and he Li Congrong is also a dragon and phoenix among people!

Maybe the time of triumph is when Li Congrong can take off his disguise and be himself with confidence!

At this moment, Bian Hao understood better why Li Congrong insisted on attacking Yuezhou.

Because he wants to win too much, he wants this credit too much, he has been waiting for many years, and now he can't wait for a moment, so he can't bear to send troops from Langzhou and play step by step!

Seeing that hope can be grasped, under all kinds of complicated moods, and seeing that the country is so delicate, how can Li Congrong not cry?

A trace of sympathy for Li Congrong suddenly rose in Bian Hao's heart, and he bowed down and said softly: "Your Highness doesn't have to worry too much, although the King of Qin is powerful, he has made too many enemies in the rectification of the officials, and when His Highness returns to the dynasty victoriously, he may not be able to overwhelm the King of Qin......"

At this point, Bian Ho's heart was suddenly startled, and then he sighed.

His disguise is indeed deep enough, and he almost deceived himself, and now he almost really thinks about Li Congrong......

However, to Bian Hao's surprise, after he said this, what he heard was not Li Congrong's crying and crying about hardships, but a burst of laughter.

Laughing heartily, laughing unbridledly, laughing sarcastically, laughing proudly.

Bian Ho looked at Li Congrong in surprise.

Li Congrong looked into the distance, his posture was calm, and his eyes were clear.

He sneered: "Sir is really thinking about the lonely king, should the lonely king be good thank you, sir?" He looked at Bian Hao, "How can you thank Mr. Sir if you want to be alone?" Is 10,000 Gangneung troops enough? Is the army in front of the palace of 30,000 enough? Is there enough army for the whole south? The decline of my Tang Empire, is it enough?! ”

The kingdom of the emperor is the empire, and the kingdom of the vassal king is the kingdom.

Bian Ho was dumbfounded, but immediately leaned over and bowed his head, "Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" Under can not be understood. ”

Li Congrong looked at Bian Hao, his eyes were like electricity, "Sir, do you really think that brothers in this world can't be like brothers and sisters, with one heart and one mind, but can only intrigue and kill each other?" Does Mr. really think that fathers and sons in this world cannot be benevolent and filial, gentle and humble, but only calculate with each other and kill each other? Does Mr. really think that the world of great controversy is broken, so everyone has no morality in their hearts, and they have become beasts who only know how to fight for food? ”

Bon Ho looked up in shock, really stunned.

Li Congrong sneered, "I heard that Mr. is a scholarly family, from a family of etiquette, taught by the great Confucianism of the world, and has studied sage books for more than ten years. Dressed in the south, dressed in the south, could it be that the clothes of the south crossing, in the end, voluntarily took off the crown on their heads and took off the clothes on their bodies, which is no different from beasts? ”

Bian Hao finally recovered from the shock, and he immediately remedied: "Your Highness is benevolent, no one knows, and there are many praises at the time. It's just that His Highness's words today, what is the intention, I really can't figure it out in the next commission......"

"Alright, Pickaxe. As a husband, why do you still hide your head and tail until now? Li Congrong waved his hand, "Do you know where the cemetery where the lonely king went to worship when he passed by the stone head?" ”

Without waiting for Bian Ho to answer, Li Congrong approached him, looked into each other's eyes at a short distance, and said word by word: "That is the burial place of my Tang Dynasty soldiers, and under every tombstone there, there is a Tang Dynasty hero sleeping!" ”

He straightened up, "And these heroes, in the seven days between February 22 and 28 of the second year of Tiancheng, and 3,000 comrades guarded Shishou County and Shuizhai, and fought a bloody battle with more than 10,000 sailors of your Yang Wu and Wu without retreating, and finally more than 2,000 were wounded and 481 were killed!" Chen Yanshi, Wang Wenxiong, Xu You, Feng Er...... Pickaxe, do you know these names? Do you know these heroes of my Datang?! ”
