Chapter Eighty-Four: Shunchang's Rebellion
Chapter 84 Shunchang rebelled
When the weather turns cold, autumn arrives, and this year's cold autumn came early, and soon after the autumn equinox, the sky was already very cold.
Dongping City is bordered by the Wolong Mountains to the west, and the mountains are endless plains to the east.
Due to the topography, Dongping is colder than the eastern suzerain, Dahan, and this year's climate is particularly abnormal, even if it is not long in autumn, it is already unbearable to be cold.
Every time the seasons change and the weather turns cold, people become lazy and don't like to work, so when they have nothing to do, the people of Dongping will find a few good companions on weekdays to chat and relieve boredom, and even drink and gamble.
The whole Dongping, as in previous years, is a peaceful and lazy scene.
It's just that in the Dongping Imperial Palace, the atmosphere is a little strange.
In the room, there were many disassembled letters scattered on the table, and Liu Xiuzheng was sitting at the table and looking carefully word by word.
Inside the room, it seems a little dull.
After a while, Liu Xiu suddenly broke the silence and asked:
"How's it going?"
"Feel free to do it." Behind him, Wen Ya replied very simply.
seemed to have long been accustomed to this kind of conversation between the two, Liu Xiutou did not reply, continued to look at the letter, nodded, and replied:
"The fact that the plans went so smoothly on this trip to the country was a bit unexpected for me. If it weren't for the fact that King Wei was very suspicious, and he was strict and disrespectful to hundreds of officials, bloodthirsty and arbitrary, I am afraid that we would not have a clue now. ”
"Did Val give you an answer?" Liu Xiu leaned back, as if he was a little sore, he unconsciously turned his neck and asked.
Seeing that Liu Xiu's movements were a little clumsy, Wen Ya smiled softly behind her, her smile was sweet, and she gently softened the whole room, she put down the work in her hand, stepped forward quickly, walked behind Liu Xiu, gently kneaded his neck, and said with a sneer:
"You've been sitting here for three days, and you don't know how to rest and rest, your neck hurts, right?"
Liu Xiu was about to answer when she heard this, but her fingers slid over her, and she suddenly felt a little in a trance.
Although I have been sleepless and extremely tired for the past three days, I don't seem to feel that it is too hard to be accompanied by Wen Ya.
Although the three days are tired, they are like white horses, and they pass in the blink of an eye, but Wen Ya's half-joking and half-serious words last night are still in my ears.
Your Highness, in this life, Wen Ya is only gentle to you.
As soon as his heart fluttered, he wanted to turn around, look at the beautiful face behind him, hug her, and say to her:
"In the world, I only need you to accompany me."
However, he held back stiffly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and forcibly suppressed the tenderness in his heart.
In today's troubled times, every step is like walking on thin ice, how dare you be distracted?
Moreover, the woman who pressed down on her heart, and only dared to think carefully when she was asleep at night, so that her pillow was wet with tears, how could she forget it one day?
He frowned, and subconsciously touched the left sleeve of his robe, where there was a mandarin duck handkerchief.
"It's been a few days since I've been busy." The gentle color on his face, I don't know when, dissipated at all, and said lightly in a deliberately distant voice: "I've worked hard for you these past few days." ”
Wen Ya's eyes flashed, the expression on her face did not change at all, and she said with a smile:
"In the past few months, we have invested so much energy and spies in Dongping, and spread so many rumors, and now we have finally seen results, just waiting for the harvest, Your Highness has not said that it is hard, how dare Wen Ya say that she is tired."
After hearing this, Liu Xiu smiled and said:
"King Wei is to blame, all I have done is to let him fall as soon as possible, the so-called 'rumors', hey, how many of them are true, how much of King Wei's atrocities do the world know?"
Liu Xiu continued to laugh, but Wen Ya still noticed that his hand under the table suddenly clenched, and she frowned, not breaking it.
Ziyu, the suffering you have suffered every day will avenge you in these days.
Liu Xiu thought so in his heart.
Wen Ya seemed to be tired, withdrew her hand and rubbed it, and answered:
"What do we do now? Is it to solve the Weiwang Yunzhou Hidden Army first, or kill Liu Xun first? ”
Liu Xiu pondered for a while, shook his head, and replied:
"The number of Weiwangyin's army is unknown, I don't know where it is scattered, but according to the secret report of the spies, in the conscription around Fengcheng, there are about 40,000 strong men who were arrested, plus the dead soldiers who have been raised for many years, the Weiwangyin army is about 60,000, and now we are powerless to accept it, so we can only wait for its civil strife to make plans."
"How to make the Hidden Army civil strife?" Wen Yaxiu frowned and asked rhetorically.
Liu Xiu's eyes were covered with a faint shadow, and he seemed to be worried about what was about to happen, and he was silent for a moment before replying:
"I got the news that the hidden army is short of food, and now some soldiers have mutinied, and there is also news that the hidden army in Yunzhou has begun to turn soldiers into bandits, robbing the people, and wants to survive this period of time, and then make plans after the autumn harvest of grain and grass."
Hearing Liu Xiu's words, her gentle and beautiful eyes suddenly tightened, and a cautious look appeared on her pretty face for the first time, she looked at Liu Xiu, pondered for a while, and said:
"Why didn't King Wei send food to the nearest place?"
Liu Xiu's face showed a smile for the first time, as if only in front of Wen Ya had so many words, so he could not tire of thinking about explaining, he stood up and replied:
"That's why I want to kill Chen Fuxin, Chen Fuxin is ostensibly a side of the Chen family, and has a deep blood feud with King Wei, but in fact, the Chen family has a century-old valve, extremely huge, although the suzerain's family is extremely powerful, but they are still worried that the side line will overwhelm them, so that they are oppressed more, so that the side branches can not come out, only driven by the sect master's family, they can't even get an official and a half-job, at this moment, Chen Fuxin and Wei Wang secretly reached an agreement, and the two sides cooperated to eradicate the Chen family."
After speaking, he suddenly sneered, his eyes moved to the east, the direction of Luo Jing, and said:
"It's ridiculous that my father thought that this was a big thing that King Wei did alone, so in order to contain King Wei, he tried his best to protect Chen Fuxin, but he didn't know that the two had already colluded, so that although Wei Guo was a vassal of the empire, his power was getting bigger and bigger, and he even transferred troops and changed generals, and the appointment and dismissal of officials did not ask his father for the emperor, if it weren't for the imperial army stationed in Wei all the year round to deter King Wei, Wei Guo would have been reversed long ago."
Wen Ya's body shook after hearing this, she had already known about the chaos in Dongping, but she didn't know that there were so many things in it, she took a deep breath, recovered from the shock, and asked:
"Then what does this have to do with the hidden army's food transfer?"
Liu Xiu's gaze moved to Wen Ya and smiled:
"There are still ministers who are loyal to the monarch, if you want to hide their secret grain transfer, if there is no Chen Fuxin secretly operated, I am afraid that as soon as the grain and grass move, Luo Jing's father will get the news, and after a little speculation, you can know that King Wei has a hidden army, and the natural division of the king is famous, and the army crosses the border, and the vassal of the country will become the emperor's realm, and the transfer of grain involves a lot, so Chen Fuxin needs to be secretly dispatched, and now that he is killed, King Wei will lose an arm, and it is not easy to continue to collect and release freely and calmly deal with various situations. Especially in the current situation, he does not dare to act rashly, and only turning his troops into bandits is a good strategy. ”
Wen Ya pondered for a moment, nodded, and said:
"So what are we going to do? Are you just waiting for them to plunder the people? ”
Liu Xiu smiled, looked at Wen Ya's eyes for some reason, and said:
"I have sent a few people to act as bandits in various mountains, and it has been some time, when the time comes to merge into the Weiwang Yin Army and plunder the people, add a fire to the Yin Army, and then they will encourage the Yin Army to do a big thing, so that the eyes of the people of the world will look at Yunzhou."
He paused, sighed lowly, and said:
"Only in this way can King Wei be ruined and have no chance to turn over."
Wen Ya frowned after hearing this, and was silent.
Liu Xiu saw her expression in her eyes, shook her head, walked to Wen Ya's side, and said in a low voice:
"Do you blame me in your heart, being too ruthless? Regardless of the lives of the people? ”
Wen Ya's eyes flashed, and she replied:
"No, everything Your Highness has done is right, Wen Ya must do her best, and there is no disobedience."
Having said that, her eyes are cold, and she has a "no disobedience" attitude.
Liu Xiu looked at her, sighed, and said:
"Although it harmed the people of Yunzhou, but sacrificing them in exchange for the Han Wei to avoid the suffering of war, for the world, for the people of Han Wei, it is a great thing, in fact, every night when it is deep, I have been heartbroken repeatedly, but the country and the society are important, only in this way can we exchange for the peace of the two countries."
He waved his hand to prevent Wen Ya from speaking, stood with his hands in his hands, and returned to his usual calm color between his eyebrows, walked to the window, pointed to the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, and the place where heaven and earth meet, and said:
"Between heaven and earth, I am the only one who can save the common people."
Wen Ya's heart was shocked, and she didn't know what Liu Xiu meant by saying this suddenly, as if she was talking to her, and as if she was talking to herself.
She looked out the window and looked up, only to see that there was no cloud in the sky outside, and the sun was rising.
The world is respected, looking down on the common people, and I am the only one.
Why bother to look at other people's eyes and listen to others' judgments, even if that person is her, gentle.
She suddenly understood, her body shook, and she opened her mouth to say something, but finally held back and hung her head and fell silent.
Liu Xiu turned around and looked at Wen Ya, his eyes became as deep as water again, and he didn't panic, he didn't explain, he was silent for a long time before he said:
"Let's go down and make arrangements, Wa'er has been preparing for so long, it's time to make meritorious contributions."
Wen Ya nodded and responded:
"Yes."
Liu Xiu nodded, and was about to ask Wen Ya to back down the arrangement, but Wen Ya suddenly opened her mouth and said:
"Your Highness, Chen Yuting's side"
Liu Xiu waved his hand and said lightly:
"I have my own arrangements on the Chen family's side, you just need to keep in touch with Wa'er now, and after you are ready, you can do it in the next few days."
Wen Ya nodded and said:
"I know, if nothing else, I'll go back and prepare."
Liu Xiu nodded.
It seems that in the past three days, the two have been too intimate together, and Wen Ya even forgot to salute, and turned around and walked out directly.
Behind him, Liu Xiu shook his head with a wry smile.
The door opened, and the gentle face flashed, and there was an unknown love in his eyes, as if he had countless words to say in his heart, just waiting for Liu Xiu to open his mouth and say, "Ya'er." ”
But no.
A gust of cold wind blew in, causing the prince in the house to shiver.
It also dissolved the word left that he almost blurted out.
The door then closes.
It's colder! ――
For the new week, please support! Thank you!
