Luoyang, Anfu.

An Zhongzhu stood by the window, quietly watching the cold plum in the courtyard.

Hanmei has not yet bloomed.

An Chongzhi couldn't wait.

He likes Hanmei, not only because it can withstand the cold and withstand the wind and frost, but also because it is not shocked. Not only is it not flattering, but it can also be unforgiving. Because of the favor and humiliation, he can appreciate himself. Not afraid of temporary gains and losses, not afraid of the eyes of others. Because of the humiliation, I can always believe in the road under my feet, and I can always insist on moving forward. If you don't have a state of mind that is not flattered and humiliated, you can't be unforgiving. Because of this, it can bloom the most dazzling colors at the most impossible time, when ordinary people do not expect it.

It's the same with what he wants to be a human being.

The sea is up and down, and the ministers are in a variety of ways, although it has only been a few months, he has seen a lot, and he doesn't care. In this world, the change of kings is like a horse's eye, let alone a minister? In just a few decades, how many heroes and heroes are in the world, ups and downs, and there are countless people who have fallen into the great cause of the dynasty, and what is the point of success or failure for a while! Unforgiving, poor and strong, only to see the husband romantic.

There are all kinds of styles in the world, and there is nothing comparable to the poor and the strong.

Only by being poor and strong can we make a comeback. Once the sea is difficult to water, except that Wushan is not a cloud, after the peak canyon can be regarded as seeing the ups and downs, on the cloud without losing the heart, down at the bottom of the valley without losing ambition. Only by deeply tasting the pain of the darkness at the bottom of the abyss can we better know the beauty of the sunrise at the summit.

The cold wind blew on his face, and An Chongzhu didn't feel the cold, but showed a smile on his face.

"Kong Xun is unreliable after all, and everything has to be arranged by himself." An Zhong said in his heart, "This old man can calculate his father so much behind his back, and expecting him to block King Qin is tantamount to self-deception. Fortunately, Bengong is wise, and has already contacted the envoys of Huazhou and Puzhou, in any case, Bengong has suffered such a big loss in the court, and he can't be cheaper King Qin, this kid, Bengong is a loss, and it is not a loss for both Bengong and King Qin. As long as the King of Qin can be weakened, the Duke wants to make a comeback, who can stop it! ”

An Chongzhi showed a sneer on his face, "Fortunately, King Qin's eastward journey this time was to find fault, and he had to make it difficult with Huazhou and Puzhou, so that his father had the opportunity to fan the flames." If it weren't for King Qin's self-righteousness, if he wanted to wade into this troubled water, it would not be easy for this prince to find an opportunity to deal with him. Hmph, Huazhou and Puzhou want to be tough in front of King Qin and fight with him, I am afraid that they will inevitably lack confidence, but with the help of their fathers, they will be able to be justified - this is really beneficial to both sides! ”

"Proud soldiers!" An Chongzhi sighed in his heart, "That's a headache that Zhuang Zong can't handle, my father wants to see, His Royal Highness King Qin, what do you do to deal with them!" ”

The county seat of sour jujube.

"There are many towns in the Tang Dynasty, the number of the guards and the six armies is complicated, and the number and combat power of each army are uneven, but if you talk about the degree of arrogance and fierce generals, especially these three are the worst: from the horse straight, the silver spear is effective, and the Tianxiong." After talking about An Chongzhu and Sang Weihan, Mo Li and Wang Pu did not leave, and Li Congjing talked to them about their current trip.

These three are not only quite strong in battle, but also have a lot of numbers, especially the generals, soldiers and hooligans, and they can really no longer be called armies, but can only be called robbers. Of course, in addition to these three, there are many proud soldiers and fierce generals in various places, not to mention the garrisons of Huazhou and Bianzhou, which can be regarded as the same. ”

Military affairs are Mo Li's forte, he shook the folding fan and said slowly: "From Ma Zhi to Luoyang, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, as long as the overall situation is not chaotic, it can be slowly rectified." The silver spear army was stationed in Puzhou, when Zhuang Zongxi hunted, and often took this army as an escort. The demolition of houses and the destruction of fields and the forcible robbery of people's property have not been less, although there are reasons for the lack of military spending, and it can also be seen that their bandit habits are also demonstrated. The Tianxiong Army was in Weizhou, born from Wei Bojun, and Zhao Zaili and Huangfu Hui made a rebellion, which was based on this. This army has strong combat power, a large number of people, a strong sense of region, and has Weizhou in his heart but there is no king, and now he still serves Zhao Zaili as the envoy of the festival. ”

The two armies of the Silver Spear Festival and Wei Bo began from the Liang Dynasty Wei Bo Festival to make Yang Shihou, and the soldiers of the whole army were all brave men in the world, with a total of 8,000 people. Yang Shihou fought with it and was invincible. The division is thick, and Liang is unified by He Delun, and it cannot be controlled. Later, the west welcomed Zhuangzong into Wei, from the expedition to the river, and the direction was meritorious. After the unification of Zhuang Zong, although there were several rewards, he was arrogant and insatiable.

Before and after Zhuangzong became emperor, he purged the Hedong armies, including Wei Bo's army, and then there were armies such as Zhuri and Tianxiong, and the silver spear army was also differentiated at this time.

Tang Zhi's guards and the six armies were not all stationed in Kyoto, and some of them were assigned to various places to sit in towns, and even the armies of the envoys were also among the guards and the six armies - no, the central government could not afford to raise too many troops.

Wang Pu was shocked when he heard this: "Huazhou is in the west, Puzhou is in the east, and Weizhou is in the north. There is a long sword army in Huazhou, a silver spear army in Puzhou, and a Tianxiong army in Weizhou" looked at Li Congjing, "Your Highness, is this considered a place of self-destruction?" ”

Li Congjing smiled, "Wen Bo, you are wrong, it's not three-legged, if you count Bianzhou, we are now in the midst of being surrounded on all sides!" ”

Wang Pu opened his mouth, stroked his knees and sighed, "Your Highness has gone to the heart of the four places, it seems that he is planning to dig out his heart!" ”

Li Congjing was noncommittal, and straightened up, "If Datang wants to implement a new policy, it will inevitably touch the interests of all parties, and it will inevitably be subject to all kinds of resistance, and may even lead to turmoil." Therefore, in order to effectively implement the new policy, it is necessary to eliminate the factors of instability before then. The most important of these factors is the arrogant general. ”

Wang Pu bowed his head and said, "That's true. Arrogant soldiers and fierce generals will cause chaos on weekdays, let alone when their interests are touched! ”

"If the difficulty of arrogance and fierceness is solved, the world will be stable, and the new policy can be implemented, which is an environmental requirement." Li Congjing said.

Mo Li added: "In addition, if you carry out a new policy with the weight of a proud soldier and a fierce general, the resistance will be much smaller. ”

"So I waited for this trip to this point, ostensibly to inspect the resettlement of displaced people, but in fact, it was to deal with the affairs of arrogant soldiers!" Wang Pu almost wailed.

"For everything to begin, there has to be a beginning. If not, if all the feudal towns in the world think that the imperial court wants to 'cut the feudal domain', it will not be beautiful. Li Congjing smiled and comforted, "The mishandling of the affairs of the displaced people is the reason for this." ”

Wang Pu blinked and wondered: "Your Highness already knows that the resettlement of the slippery and Pu homeless people is inappropriate? ”

Li Congjing should have said: "Naturally, I know some." If not, wouldn't the MI be disbanded? ”

Wang Pu thought about it and felt that this was indeed the case, Li Congjing has never fought unprepared battles, where could he have arrived in Huazhou with a black eye, so he asked: "How is Your Highness going to do this?" ”

"You have to eat one bite at a time, and things naturally need to be done step by step." Li Congjing said, "I can't eat a fat man in one go, if I suddenly move too much, arouse the suspicion of all parties, and thus unite together, then whether they resist us or want to stir up chaos, it will be a big trouble." ”

"So what do I wait for the first target?" Wang Pu asked.

"Silver Gun Festival." Li Congjing said slowly.

"How's the plan?" Wang Pu asked again.

"Knock on the mountain and shake the tiger." Li Congjing said.

"Oh?"

"Take the state first."

"How to take the state?" Wang Pu asked again.

"Naturally, start with sour dates." Li Congjing smiled.

"Sour jujube county order?"

"Master Book!"

Huazhou Prefecture governs the county seat of Baima County, and the government office is set up in the section degree.

The hall was filled with singing and dancing. The dancing girls are graceful, the singers sing tactfully, the sound of the silk strings and bamboos is endless, and the hall is full of warblers and swallows. Xu Yonghui sat on the low floor with his fingers on his knees, squinting and shaking his head, intoxicated.

From time to time, a servant entered the hall, cautiously walked to Xu Yonghui's side, bowed and said, "Handsome, the guest is here." ”

"Oh? Please come in. Xu Yonghui sat up straight, straightened his clothes, and waved his hand to signal the singing and dancing in the hall to be withdrawn.

After a while, a man in brocade clothes came into the door, and he hugged his fist to Xu Yonghui from afar, "Xu Dashuai, don't come to harm." ”

Xu Yonghui got up to salute back, but he didn't come out to greet him, the identity of the person who came was not as good as him, so naturally he didn't need to be too polite, "General Gao, please take a seat!" ”

The general surnamed Gao is named Gao Xingcheng, who is the capital of the silver spear and the army of the festival, and is also the confidant of the Puzhou festival envoy, he sat down in the hall and greeted Xu Yonghui.

"A few days ago, it was reported that King Qin's car had passed Xingyang, and it was about to arrive in Guizhou Jujube, and the team of hundreds of people was mighty, and I heard that there was a command of the guards alone, which can be described as a bad come." After the greetings, the conversation entered the topic, and Gao Xingcheng hugged his fists and said, "My marshal sent the last man to ask General Xu what he thought of King Qin's trip. ”

Huazhou and Puzhou are adjacent to each other, and the contact has always been frequent on weekdays, so it is not abrupt to ask Gao Xingcheng.

"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, what else can you think!" The main seat is on the steps, and Xu Yonghui sits with a golden sword, so as not to overlook the hall, which is quite contemptuous at this time.

"General Xu, King Qin's car is coming east, he must first go to Huazhou and then to Puzhou, and now the King of Qin's car is still halfway, and my marshal will order the last general to come to see the general, which can be described as sincere. If the last general returns to my family like this, doesn't General Xu think that my family will be cold? "Gao Xingcheng is still holding his fists.

Xu Yonghui pondered for a while, leaned over and said: "General Gao, don't mind, this commander naturally knows that the king of Qin is not good, but this commander is not a wine bag and rice bag, the matter of the resettlement of the displaced people has been arranged, and the king of Qin will come to inspect and inspect, he can't find anything, don't worry!" ”

Gao Xingcheng said: "King Qin is not an ordinary person, and General Xu must not be despised by all. A few years ago, he managed the politics of Youzhou and broke the Khitan army, and everything was done very neatly, which made people stunning. Since the King of Qin has come to the east this time, he must not have made early preparations! ”

Xu Yonghui snorted coldly, "Hugh exalted him so much, could it be that King Qin is not a human being but a god?" Ben Shuai said, the king of Qin can't make an article about the affairs of the exiles, so call your family marshal Gu Hao Puzhou is, Ben Shuai has heard that the court is very concerned about the silver spear effect! ”

"You" Gao Xingcheng's face turned red, and after all, he endured it and didn't have a seizure, "In this way, the last general will leave!" ”

"Slow down and don't send it!" Xu Yonghui watched Gao Xingcheng leave, his eyes showed contempt, and he flicked his sleeves indignantly, "King Qin is clearly coming at you with a silver spear, it's good for you to let Ben Shuai touch King Qin's moldy head first and disobey him." Think beautifully! Ben Shuai doesn't want to be pulled into the water by you! ”

Angrily scolded and scolded, and spat, "What! What happened to King Qin? It's not Your Majesty's personal visit. Huazhou is Lao Tzu's land, he has to lie on my stomach when the tiger comes, and he has to coil it for me when the dragon comes! ”
