Chapter 371: The Gap Between the Son and Lao Tzu
After resting in Yangzhou City for three days, Dahe Chucai finally embarked on the journey north with Dahe Wushu again. Although he knew that this was extremely dangerous and he was worried about his life, he still chose to go north, first, to show filial piety to his deceased father, and second, to clear his grievances and find out the truth.
Although he was worried about the safety of Dahe Chucai, he did not stop him, but repeatedly instructed Dahe Chucai to be cautious and put his personal safety first. After all, people cannot be resurrected after death, and there is hope only when they are alive.
After sending away Dahe Chucai, he was happy and no longer stayed in Yangzhou City, and went to Xuyi City with Sun Simiao on the same day.
On March 18, 576 A.D., Yangzhou Thorn Shi Lu Qian died suddenly at home late at night, and the cause of death was very treacherous.
On the surface, Lu Qian couldn't find the slightest scar on his body except for his sallow face and deep-set eye sockets. Lu Qian's death had no warning, especially in the first half of the night, he and his favorite concubine had a fierce battle for more than two hours, making the favorite concubine lose her armor and collapse for thousands of miles, and the fierce and crazy appearance made the favorite concubine happy and afraid. However, when the pet concubine woke up in the morning, she found that the body of the person next to the pillow was already extremely cold, and she had a lot of qi.
When Lu Qianren reached middle age, he was in the prime of life, and he usually paid more attention to maintenance, and his body was said to be very healthy, but it was his death that made people feel inexplicable and unbelievable.
In Yangzhou in mid-March, the weather was already quite hot, Lu Qian and his concubine were wanton and happy, and his body naturally became weak, and then he used cold well water to take a shower when he was sweating profusely, and the conflict between extreme cold and extreme heat caused his sudden death.
Killing people doesn't have to be done by themselves, whether it is creating an accident or borrowing a knife to kill people is a more clever technique, since following the happiness, Xiao Ling's use of these two techniques has become more and more sophisticated.
He didn't do much after Lu Qian's death, but added a lot of aphrodisiacs and agitation-inducing drugs to his diet. This made Lu Qian's desire boundless and excessive, and finally he used cold well water to cool down because of the heat, and finally died suddenly.
As soon as Lu Qian died, a large-scale rebellion broke out in Yangzhou, and countless corrupt officials and corrupt officials, the rich landlords and gentry were brutally killed by angry people under the leadership of well-intentioned people, and the city was in chaos. Just when everyone in Yangzhou City was in danger, Jiangsu Province suddenly sent troops to annex Yangzhou City with lightning speed.
For the traitor Gao Xin, the people of the Jianghuai Valley did not reject it, and even fervently hoped to become the people under his rule. For the illiterate, lowly and humble him, the so-called loyalty is not as real as a nest head. In particular, it is rumored that Gao Xin loves the people like a son, enforces the law fairly, and the people under his rule are rich and healthy, and are not bullied by the powerful, which is very attractive to the people who live in the fire and are hungry and cold.
However, as soon as the Jiangsu rebels pacified the chaotic city of Yangzhou, Gao Changgong, the king of Sui, suddenly sent troops from Western Chu Prefecture and approached Yangzhou. The Jiangsu Righteous Army is naturally not as close to Yangzhou as West Chuzhou, galloping all the way, and the veterans of the division have long been tired, and they are naturally overjoyed to easily seize Yangzhou City, and it is inevitable that they will be proud and lax. The Huaizhou army was full of energy, and it came suddenly, which caught the Jiangsu rebels off guard, and they were in a hurry, and their own combat strength was not as good as that of the Huaizhou army, so they finally had to spit out the fat that reached their mouths and obediently retracted back to Jiangsu.
This is a scene seen by outsiders, but everything is just directed and acted by himself. The reason why he did this was not only revenge, but also to expand his territory, and it could not be suspected that Gao Changgong did it on purpose.
When everything was calm in Yangzhou, Happy and Sun Simiao were already in the Sui Palace, Xuyi City. Sun Simiao is a master in the world, and he is not keen on fame and fortune, so although he has already guessed that there is a lot of relationship between Xingxing and Gao Xin, he doesn't care, and still follows Xingxing with great interest. Of course, Sun Simiao has no special hobbies, but is just interested in the Western medicine system that Xing Xing said.
Three women in one play, not to mention that there are now five women in happiness. No woman is willing to share her husband with others, even in ancient times when men were supreme. Happy thought that Yang Lihua and Zhang Rong's five daughters would have to fight openly and secretly, but the result was beyond his expectations, although the five women could not completely communicate with each other, they were polite and harmonious to each other, and they were even more deferential to Gao Changgong and his wife.
Zhang Rong used to be the leader of the Moon Worship Sect, she was well-informed, she had contact with the three sects and the nine streams, she was definitely a sophisticated and sleek person, and it was not difficult to have a good relationship with Yang Lihua, Wu Shun and Lu Hanyue. Especially happy Chongguan was angry and risked her life, thousands of miles of rescue made Zhang Rong understand the happy mind, and years of loneliness and loneliness also made her look down on fame and fortune, she just needs to be happy and miss her in her heart, and she doesn't care much about anything else.
Lu Hanyue has a cold and arrogant temperament, and she doesn't even pay attention to the "Recipe for Longevity" that everyone dreams of, and she disdains intrigue, competition for favor and love.
Wu Shun has a gentle and gentle temperament, kind and sincere, and has always been silently waiting behind Happy, without complaining or asking, and without the heart of competing for favor.
Yang Lihua was born in a wealthy family and has a noble status, but she dares to love and hate, understands the general situation, takes the overall situation into account, and knows that she is happy and ambitious, so she has also given up the useless struggle, so as not to drag down happiness.
Needless to say, Zhang Lihua is here, even if she wants to fight with Yang Lihua, she can't.
The five daughters are smart and understanding, happy to see in their eyes and warm in their hearts. He is not a person who is good at expressing emotions, and his relationship with the five daughters is mostly caused by passive coincidences, saying that there is love, but it is more of a responsibility as a man and a husband. Now that he sees that the five daughters get along harmoniously, he is not only relieved in his heart, but also more and more sympathetic to the five daughters.
……
"Brother Xing, are you leaving again after only three days of coming back?" Yang Lihua looked happy sadly, and her cherry mouth was almost able to hang up the oil bottle. In the eyes of the people of Huaizhou, she is a heroic, brave and warlike American general, but in the face of happiness, she is a cute, kind, and lovable little sister.
"I'm sorry, Lihua!" Looking at the reluctance and attachment in Yang Lihua's eyes, he was very uncomfortable in his heart, but apart from this sentence, he really couldn't think of anything else to say. Yang Lihua left her hometown to follow him, but she gathered less and left more, and she suffered a lot for the sake of the happy hegemony.
"Lihua, at most one year, I promise, another year we will be above board and forever together, believe me!" looked at Yang Lihua happily and said very firmly.
Yang Lihua was shocked, and a bright brilliance flashed in her eyes: "What Brother Xing said is true? ”
Happy smiled and said, "How can I be willing to lie to you?" Xing Xing shook Yang Lihua's slender palm vigorously, and when she felt the faint calluses on her delicate skin, her heart twitched again. All this is because of her dedication to becoming a qualified young marshal instead of being happy.
"I believe in you, Brother Xing!" Yang Lihua threw herself into her happy arms and whispered, but tears flowed down.
On March 23, Happy once again quietly left Xuyi City. This time, he didn't let any of his wives accompany him, not just for the sake of fairness, but also for safety and concealment.
……
Since Yuwen Yong ascended the throne, the national strength of the Northern Zhou Dynasty has become stronger and stronger, especially after the ban on religion and the destruction of Buddhism, both the country's financial resources and the combat effectiveness of the army have been raised to an extremely objective level.
Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Yong, sent the crown prince Yuwen Yunxi to conquer the Tuyuhun Khanate, which was actually gilded for him and paved the way for his future accession to the throne. However, Yuwen Yun is really a dou who can't be supported, even if there are hundreds of thousands of elite people under his command, and there are strategists like Wang Liang to plan, along the way, the momentum is like a bamboo, and it makes Tuyuhun cry and call his mother, but Yuwenyun ordered the squad to return to Beijing when the soldiers were in ambush (Dulan County, Qinghai Province), and Pingbai Lang took a chance to completely wipe out the Tuyuhun Khanate.
Since the defeat of the Eastern Expedition last year, Yuwen Yong has been fighting hard to level the Qi country in one fell swoop during the Eastern Expedition again, but Yuwen Yong is lazy and lazy, arrogant and elegant, and there are many defeats on the way. Especially Yu Wenyun doted on the palace officials Yin (deputy chief) Zheng Yi and Wang Duan, the three of them got together to do all kinds of evil, and the military camp was in a miasma, if it weren't for the well-trained soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the restraint of Wang Rail, I was afraid that I would not be able to Tuguhun.
After the class, Wang Liang played Yuwen Yun's bad deeds to Yu Wenyong, which immediately provoked Zhou Wu to be furious, beat his son severely, and even drove Zheng Yi and others out of the palace, and some other servants who were favored by Yu Wenyun were also severely punished.
However, it didn't take long for Yu Wenyun to secretly bring Zheng Yi into the palace, and the master and servant were in cahoots, as always.
For Yuwen Yong's harshness and punishment, not only Yu Wenyun was dissatisfied, Zheng Yi was even more resentful, and often said in Yu Wenyun's ear: "Your Highness, when will you be able to rule this country?" Only when you ascend to the Great Treasure can you get freedom and the greatest happiness! Yu Wenyun thought so, and trusted Zheng Yi even more.
In a year's time, the Northern Zhou Dynasty was strong and strong, and the momentum was like a rainbow, but the Northern Qi Dynasty was still singing and dancing, and it was muddy. On the first day of the ninth month, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Yong, summoned and launched the Eastern Expedition again, which was bound to annihilate the Northern Qi in one fell swoop.
After last year's defeat, Yu Wenyong had already realized that it was an extremely unwise decision to attack Northern Qi from the south of the Yellow River, otherwise he would not have pretended to be sick to avoid greater casualties. And after really stepping on the land of Northern Qi, he also had an intuitive understanding of the situation of Northern Qi, and he finally understood the truth that the opportunity could not be lost, so he agreed with the plan of Yu Yi and others, and launched a full-scale attack on Northern Qi from Jinzhou north of the Yellow River as a breakthrough point.
On September 15, Yu Wenyong personally led the army to launch a military operation against the Northern Qi Empire. Yu Wenyong appointed Yue Wang Yu Wensheng, Duke Qi Yu Wenliang, and Sui Duke Yang Jian to command the three armies of the right wing; Wang Yu Wenjian, the general (rank 4) Dou Tai, and the Duke of Guanghua Qiu Chong, led the three armies of the left flank; Qi Wang Yu Wenxian and Chen Wang Yu Wenchun served as the vanguard, with a total of 300,000 troops, and crossed the Yellow River to advance towards the Northern Qi.
