Since the death of Shu, Wuyongzi An Deyu and An Dongye, under the leadership of Wuyongzi, after leaving Shu, went down the river, all the way down, the An brothers have seen a lot of insight, just like Wuyongzi said: Shao is not into Shu. ▲∴, although Shu is prosperous, if you stay in Shu for a lifetime, your experience and knowledge will not increase much, like sitting in a well and watching the sky, vulgar and shallow, why not travel the world and see the great mountains and rivers.

Naturally, Wuyongzi also had a task in his body, and after his death in Shu, he went to the Southern Han Dynasty under the urging of Zhao Dezhao. Wuyongzi carried two disciples, and now he has crossed Dongting Lake, crossed a small road in Wuling, climbed mountains and waded through rivers, and arrived in the Southern Han Dynasty.

It's just that because Pan Mei is still on the battlefield on the southern front, there are not many people along the way, and the three of them eat and sleep in the open, the ground is the seat, and the sky is the quilt, and they have suffered some hardships, but the three of them are now very pessimistic about the predicament.

In July, the three of them had arrived at the Xingwang Mansion of the Southern Han Dynasty with Zhao Dezhao's letter and tokens, and at this moment they also met Yang Ming, the chief helmsman of Changchun Hall in the Southern Han Dynasty. In the Yangcheng Restaurant in the west of the city, Yang Ming met with the three of them. Wu Yongzi circulated the letter to Yang Ming.

"Lord Yang Helm, I have come all the way from Shuzhong, and I don't know about the affairs of the Southern Han Dynasty, please inform." In the secret room, the four of them sat on the ground, and Wu Yongzi faced Yang Mingdao.

Yang Ming pinched the letter in his hand, looked at Wu Yongzi and said, "The three Dao Chiefs must have heard about the Southern Han Dynasty when they came. Since the first battle of Chenzhou, our Great Song Dynasty won, General Pan Mei garrisoned the southern border, pillow Godandan, strong soldiers, ready for the imperial court at any time, just wait for the order, then attack the Southern Han Kingdom. At present, the secret agent reported that Liu Gang distributed the defense of the Han Kingdom near Guizhou, Hezhou, and Shaozhou, and his troops were claimed to be 100,000, but in fact, he was just scaring people. ”

"That's true, I've heard that, too. Liu Gang's old generals were mostly slandered to death, the clan was cut off, the only eunuchs in charge of the army were several generations, and the city wall was moated, but it was decorated with a palace pond and marsh, and the building ships and armor were killed. Wu Yongzi's eyes were clear, he took a sip of tea, and then continued: "Gong Chengshu sent by Liu Gang to the border to preach comfort, the Southern Han soldiers have been guarding the frontier for a long time, and the army is heavy and poor, but Liu Gang appeases the soldiers with an empty edict, and Liu Gang's method is equivalent to self-destruction of the Great Wall. As long as my Great Song Dynasty stabilizes the country, I will go to the Southern Han Dynasty within a year or two. ”

"The Taoist chief is erudite and talented, Yang admires him, I don't know how to deal with Shao Tingxuan?"

Wu Yongzi had a plan and said: "Shao Tingxuan is a brave general, loyal, this talent I am exactly what my Great Song Dynasty needs, and of course there is a member Pan Chongche." Liu Gang is suspicious, and the three of them have become tigers, so they might as well spread Xingwangfu with flying words, and at the same time forge an anonymous letter and pass it to Liu Gang, saying that he has surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty, and when necessary, he will become a help for my Great Song Dynasty to go south. If this plan is successful, according to Liu Gang's suspicious character, he will definitely issue an edict to poison Shao Tingxuan, Pan Chongche and others, and then Yang Duozhu and others can make a move. ”

Yang Ming said: "Thank you Dao Chang for your advice, in the next few days, I will send my subordinates to Xingwangfu City, and spread rumors in wine shops and teahouses." ”

Yang Ming came out of the secret room, immediately brought pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and handwritten anonymous letters, word by word, all considered, and done in one go, the words were to the point, the words were sincere, and there was a great sense of punishment.

After Wu Yongzi finished writing, he handed it over to Yang Ming. Yang Ming immediately summoned his subordinates, transferred this letter to the people who were hiding in the army of Shao Tingxuan and Pan Chongche, and reported it to the imperial court through their hands...... Gong Chengshu, Chen Yanshou, Li Tuo, Xue Chongyu and others were already at odds with Shao Tingxuan, Pan Chongche and others.

"Master, can this plan be successful?" In the secret room, An Dongye asked Wuyongzi.

Wu Yongzi looked smiling, he said: "There are a thousand kinds of conspiracies and tricks in the world, although this one is the most ordinary, but if the effect is achieved, it will also kill people and invisibly, and Liu Gang himself likes to listen to slander the most." ”

"Hmm."

An Deyu said: "If it is not successful, Shao Tingxuan, Pan Chongche and others will also be lowered in Liu Gang's heart. ”

——

At night, the lamp market is prosperous, in the palace of Xingwangfu, Liu Gang leans down on the body of a Persian beauty, the spring boudoir tent is hot, this woman has fair skin, purple hair and blue eyes, and it is not ordinary for the Han women, and it has a different flavor, but it makes Liu Gang linger on the belly day and night, and does not do political affairs.

"Piggy—"

"Doctor Xiao Xian [Liu Gang calls himself]——"

The hibiscus in the spring boudoir tent is warm, and the golden wind and jade dew are ...... It's just that there is a hint of disharmony outside the hall.

Suddenly, the door outside the hall was pushed open, and an inner attendant entered the hall to report, and then Liu Gang was very angry, and immediately killed this ignorant attendant, this matter was just as they expected, Liu Gang's face was red, the corners of his eyebrows were upside down, and his delicate face appeared angry.

The Persian woman knew a little Chinese, she lay down on the bed, and said delicately: "Doctor Xiao Xian——"

"Charming pig, I'm tired." Liu Gong looked at the letter sent by the inner servant, and then said to himself, "No wonder Shao Tingxuan has urged the grain and grass several times and three times, it turned out that he wanted to rebel, I named him last year to ask for a wasted effort, and today he actually wants to defect to the Song Kingdom, Pan Chongche, the old fox, plays the jade flute with more than 100 splendid clothes every day, it turns out that he has long been dissatisfied with me in his heart, blames me for taking away his military handle, and actually secretly colludes with Shao Tingxuan......"

"Doctor Xiao Xian, why don't you let the witch [Witch Fan Beard] or Lu Shizhong [Lu Qiongxian] come to answer your questions."

"Well, since I have this faith in hand, those who don't obey me will die."

Liu Gang sent Guo Chongyue to Pan Chongche's troops to secretly observe, and authorized Guo Chongyue.

At the same time, he sent Gong Chengshu in the palace to go to Zhukou to summon him, and directly issued an edict to give death with wine.

Although the night of Xingwangfu is still prosperous, it sets off the sorrow of the people, and the people are uneasy under the torture.

Yangcheng Restaurant is still open......

——

At this moment, Guangzhou Xingwangfu Xiazhukou [Guangdong Xunzhuo Town], recruited Shao Tingxuan to be here. A month ago, Chenzhou was lost, Chenzhou assassin Shi Lu Guangtu was captured, Shao Tingxuan knew that his troops were insufficient, and he was busy retreating to the south, at the same time, the Song army and the Han army were at a standpoint in Wuling, and both sides were in the stage of confrontation and defense.

Outside the city, Shao Tingxuan felt the pressure of the Song army guarding the border, although there are five mountains in the north of the Han Kingdom, but unfortunately it is just a line of defense, not to mention that the Shu road is difficult, it is not easy to break through by the Song army, and he later learned that Wang Quanbin only took less than 60 days before and after the attack on Shu.

During Shao Tingxuan's time in Huankou, he has been recruiting troops, recruiting rebels, training soldiers, renovating war preparations, and preventing the Song army from moving south. Under Shao Tingxuan's training, this Han army is well-trained, but the soldiers of the Han army are hungry and often hungry...... It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, not to mention, the grain and straw sent by Liu Gang are already seriously insufficient, so Shao Tingxuan had to order the requisition and extraction of grain in the surrounding states and counties.

At the end of July, the soldiers who escorted the grain and grass played to Shao Tingxuan and said: "General Shao, the last general and others have been stationed in the city of Zhukou for more than a month, the last time our army accepted the imperial court's grain and salary, but now the army is short of grain, and our army has to requisition grain from the prefectures and counties near the city. However, the grain requisitioned from all over the country was not enough to cover the expenses of our army, so General Shao should send people to Beijing to ask for food and wages. ”

"How many times is this?"

The soldier said helplessly: "It's been the third time I've sent a letter to urge food, but ...... Your Majesty has not replied for a long time, and in the long run, I am afraid that there will be changes in the army. During this period, rumors have been circulating in the army, saying that His Majesty heard that the general was going to defect to the Song army, and planned to kill the general with poisonous wine, and the last general wanted to suppress the rumors several times, but it seems that the army is about to spread all over the country. ”

Shao Tingxuan thumped his chest in pain, the current situation can be said to be far from quenching his thirst, "What? How could such a thing happen? You go to the army quickly."

"What kind of time is this, fishing with all your might, fishing with all your might...... I have long advised Your Majesty to be far from the villain, pro-virtuous ministers, but unfortunately Your Majesty has not adopted my advice, Gong Chengshu, Chen Yanshou, Li Tuo, Xue Chongyu and others are already at odds with me, if these people slander a few words in front of Your Majesty, I Shao Tingxuan will not be able to escape the blame, even if I jump into the fire pit, I can't get rid of my sin, why today. ”

At this time, outside the military tent, another Du Yu Hou directly opened the big tent, obviously this Du Yu Hou was a close confidant under Shao Tingxuan, he hurriedly said: "General Shao, it's not good-Gong ...... Master Gong is here, and he is on a hill a mile away at the moment. ”

Liu Gang sent Gong Chengshu to come to the mouth, and Shao Tingxuan asked, "But is there any news of grain?" ”

This Du Yu Hou made a bold guess according to his own opinion: "The scouts of the last general's subordinates came to report, and there was no food and straw, observing his military appearance, there were only about 100 people, and there were no carriages and horses behind, and the last general thought that the comer was not good." ”

"Could it be ......" Shao Tingxuan felt a little uneasy in his heart.

When the soldiers came, Shao Tingxuan immediately went out to meet the court angels.

Gong Chengshu's team of 100 people had already arrived in front of the Zhukou army in a quarter of an hour, Shao Tingxuan met this person with an embarrassed face, although Gong Chengshu was a eunuch, but he held the power of the Southern Han military state, and he was hot, so it was not easy to offend.

Gong Chengshu didn't smile, covered his lips with an orchid finger in one hand, and comforted Shao Tingxuan from time to time, while Shao Tingxuan relaxed his vigilance, Gong Chengshu's orchid finger was taken away from his lips, and he pointed at Shao Tingxuan, and hundreds of people around Gong Chengshu immediately went up and held Shao Tingxuan.

Shao Tingxuan was surprised, and the five soldiers behind him were also controlled and couldn't move.

"Shao Tingxuan, there is a way in heaven if you don't go, Your Majesty has a will: Shao Tingxuan colluded with the Song people in a vain attempt to subvert my Great Han Kingdom, behead-"

Shao Tingxuan couldn't move, and scolded: "Gong Laogou, you eunuch with no eggs, you can't die well-"

"Your Majesty - the minister has been wronged!"

Gong Chengshu covered his lips with an orchid finger in one hand, pursed his mouth and smiled.

At this time, the hundred people did not make a move, but let Shao Tingxuan and the other six people go.

Gong Chengshu saw that the hundred people around him suddenly didn't make a move, but let go of the other party, and he hurriedly said: "You can't do it." ”

The next moment, Gong Chengshu felt that there were many people on the other side, and he didn't know what was going on, his legs were weak, a puddle of water stains appeared on the ground, and the air was filled with a smell of urine. The next moment, Gong Chengshu's eyes darkened, and he suddenly felt that someone had hit him on the back of his head and neck, and then he didn't know it......

Shao Tingxuan took a long breath, Fang Cai was really thrilling, he almost died, but he was a martial artist after all, and after only a moment, his complexion returned to calm, "It's really a narrow escape, thank you!" ”

"The general doesn't have to be polite, I came here to help the young master of my family this time."

"The young master of your family, I don't know who it is?"

The man looked around, pointed to Gong Chengshu who had fainted on the ground, and said, "Come on, tie up this pickled goods first, and your brothers will take turns guarding them." ”

Then he said: "It's not appropriate to talk here, let's go to the general's tent to discuss." ”

Shao Tingxuan immediately invited the people into the big tent......

“…… The first emperor destroyed the six countries, 'a law to weigh the stone ruler, the car on the same track, the book with the same text', and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty 'deposed a hundred schools, respected Confucianism alone', the thought of our Han Dynasty is unified, since the beginning of the Qin, one day is the trend of the times, what about the five chaotic China, the world is unified after all, although it is not unified today, sooner or later it will be unified...... The general doesn't have to be so loyal to Liu Han......"

Not long after, Shao Tingxuan learned the identity of the other party, and immediately knelt on the ground, "Thank you Your Highness for your help, this life will be Your Highness in the future." ”

The next day, Shao Tingxuan immediately ordered his army to go to the deep mountains and old forests, and at the same time, Changchuntang also secretly transported grain and grass from all over the Han Kingdom to support Shao Tingxuan's army.

Gong Chengshu is still in the hands of Changchun Hall at the moment, and for this person, he will be escorted to Xingwangfu for the time being, and then he will be released.

And Pan Chongche's side, because Guo Chong didn't see any objection from Pan Chongche, he didn't start.

In the southwest, Zhenzhou [Zheng'an County, Guizhou Province], Thorn Shi Tian Jingqian attached to the Great Song Dynasty.
