After the baptism of war, the smoke of gunpowder has not dispersed, and the sunset shines on the ruins and broken walls, showing a bleak post-apocalyptic scene. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

After negotiating with Yelu Dashi, Zhu Biao discussed the next step in the use of troops with Lu Junyi, Gongsun Sheng, Zhu Wu, and the commanders, deputy commanders, Sima, and servants of each legion.

Dadao Guan Sheng held the long sword on his waist in his hand, and said with a resentful look: "The owner of the village, the last general doesn't understand, this section is a fierce general under the command of Wang Qing of the West Thief, and Wang Qing's eldest brother, this time he was surrounded by our army in Jiangzhou, and he can be captured alive, even if he can't be captured alive, with so many brothers in our army, so many military horses, I am afraid that he will not be able to go to heaven!" Why let him go? Even the captured thieves and soldiers have to be released, this is ...... What the hell does this mean? Because of his excitement, Du Yan stammered a little when he spoke.

Zhu Biao said: "General Guan, coming, I have already explained, whether our army is fighting with Fang La, or fighting with Wang Qing, or meeting with the imperial court swords, it is just a civil war between the sons and daughters of my Han family, and now that the northern Jurchens are rising, sooner or later they will inevitably invade the south, and the imperial court is now a dry bone in the grave, and there is still half the ability to resist foreign invasions, even if our army kills Duan Er today, it will only make my Han family one less good man, and weaken the strength of my Han family's sons. If all the heroes in the world die in the internal friction of their own families, once the Jurchens invade the south, may I ask General Guan, how can I fight against the alien race with the strength of my Liangshan family at that time? Even if you and my brother resist desperately, how many people can see the day of peace? ”

Yue Fei said: "Although Lu Yuanwai is reasonable, even if he doesn't take his life, he shouldn't be let go, let the tiger return to the mountain, and there will be endless troubles!" ”

Zhu Biao smiled treacherously, looked at Lu Junyi, Gongsun Sheng and Zhu Wu beside him, and said with an unfathomable smile: "Brother Pengju, although the tiger is released, what about returning to the mountain, it won't be long before the fierce generals under his command Wang Qing have to surrender to my Liangshan, give up a stubborn stone, and get countless beautiful jade, why not?" ”

Yue Fei listened to Zhu Biao's words, and said confusedly: "Does the owner of the village have another deep meaning?" ”

Zhu Wu smiled: "Pengju rest assured, don't you still believe the owner of the village?" ”

However, it is said that Duan Er led hundreds of remnants of the defeated army and fled all the way to the west, in the direction of Ezhou (now Wuchang). Duan Er and hundreds of others rushed for several days, and finally returned to Ezhou, the capital of the Great Chu State.

Wang Qing originally wanted to set the capital in Luoyang, or Jingnan Mansion (now Jiangling, Hubei), but Li Zhu persuaded that if the capital was set in Luoyang, it would be too eye-catching, and it would easily cause the Song Dynasty to look sideways, and secondly, it would easily lead to continuous fighting for many years. Li Zhu suggested that if the king's purpose was to develop northward and pass through the Central Plains, he should build the capital Xiangyang, and if the king wanted to enter Sichuan, he should run Jingnan Mansion. However, at this moment, for the Great Chu State, if the capital is built in Luoyang, it will be a big tree and a big wind, and you will find it yourself; If the capital of Xiangyang is built, I am afraid that it will not have the ability to pass through the Central Plains; If the capital of Jingnan Mansion is built, of course, there is no resistance to the development of Xichuan, but when Liu Bei entered Sichuan, it was a helpless move, Liu Bei's military horses could not defeat Cao Wei in the north, and Sun Wu could not fight in the east, only into Sichuan. Besides, in ancient and modern history, there has not been a military group that has divided Xichuan and unified the whole country.

In the end, Wang Qing and Li Zhu both set their eyes on Jinling. If you want to pass through Jiangdong and capture Jinling, the center of gravity must be in Ezhou, and Ezhou in the Song Dynasty is now Wuchang. Wuchang is located in the Jianghan Plain, at the intersection of the Yangtze River and the Han River, connecting Wuhui in the east, Bashu in the west, Lingbiao in the south, and the Central Plains in the north. Since the Qin and Han dynasties, it has been the place of the southeast situation. The town of Hankou opposite Ezhou is a key point of waterway transportation and prosperous commerce. Therefore, the importance of Ezhou's geography and the danger of the situation are enough to control the north and south and shock the world. Wang Qing followed Li Zhu's advice and moved the capital of the Great Chu State to Ezhou.

When Duan Er fled from Jiangzhou and returned to Ezhou, Wang Qing was greatly annoyed. When he learned that his fierce general was captured, he was even more annoyed, and immediately summoned Duan Wu, the military adviser Prime Minister Li Zhu, the pioneer Liu Yijing, the left deputy vanguard Shangguanyi, and the right deputy vanguard Yutai to the palace, in fact, the so-called palace is the original Ezhou Taishou's mansion.

Duan Er knelt down the stairs with his hands tied behind his back, waiting for Wang Qing's fate.

Wang Qing wore a crown of chaotian, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, sat on the dragon chair steadily, and asked Li Zhudao, who was the first on the left: "Military advisor, now that the Liangshan thieves have broken Jiangzhou, our army has lost troops and lost generals, and the prisoners have been captured, and life and death are uncertain. ”

Li Zhu was dressed in a Taoist robe, with a long beard hanging down his chest, he held a banana fan in one hand, and gently twisted his long beard in the other, and said: "Your Majesty doesn't need to worry, Weichen has a small plan, which can make the Liangshan thieves unable to take care of each other, and wipe them out in a battle." ”

Duan Wuyi heard Li Zhu's words, smiled coldly, and said: "Military Division, it was you who did not object to attacking Jiangzhou at the beginning, and my Great Chu Army and Horse suffered a big loss in Jiangzhou. ”

Li Zhu knew that Wang Qing's wife and brother had always been afraid of his sister Duan Sanniang and brother Duan Er, no one took it seriously, was self-righteous, and could not get along with all the generals under Wang Qing's command. Li Zhu didn't care about him, and only said to Wang Qing: "Your Majesty, since Xiao Ke started the army with His Majesty, I dare not say that it is a last resort, but he is definitely conscientious and dedicated......"

Before Li Zhu finished speaking, Duan Wu snorted coldly again: "Then in the opinion of Mr., who is not conscientious and dedicated in this court?" When Li Zhu heard this, his face suddenly turned pale with anger, but this period of five is a relative of the emperor, and he is not good at attacking.

Duan Er, who was kneeling on the ground, shouted in a low voice: "Third brother, shut up!" Listen to the strategic plan! ”

Duan Wuyi heard his brother speak and quickly closed his mouth.

Li Zhu listened to Duan Er's words, and his breath was a little smoother, so he said: "For today's plan, the only way is to send people to Jiangnan, unite Fangla, the east and west roads, and march at the same time, and attack the Liangshan army and horses, so that they can't care about each other." ”

Pioneer Liu Yijing said: "Military advisor, now Fang La's vitality has been injured, not to mention whether they are willing to join forces with my family, even if they join forces, I'm afraid they will have more than enough strength but not enough strength." ”

Wang Qing listened to Liu Yijing's words and said, "Military advisor, what General Liu said is exactly what the widow is worried about. ”

Li Zhu smiled and said: "As long as Your Majesty raises the army of the country and drives the expedition in person, doesn't that Fang La want to fish in troubled waters, in order to repay the Liangshan army for occupying his city, killing his brother, and destroying his foundation and country?" ”

In fact, in ancient times, it was taboo for the courtiers to persuade the king to drive the expedition in person, but Wang Qing started from the recklessness, started the foundation, and often between the sword and the blade, he didn't mind whether he was pro-conquest or not, but he thought that if he fought in front of him, but let Fang La fish in the troubled waters behind to pick up the cheap, he was somewhat unwilling, so he asked: "But if Fang La's family really waits for our army and the Liangshan army to fight to the death, come to fish in troubled waters, wouldn't the widow make a wedding dress for others!" ”

Hearing this, Li Zhu gently waved the banana fan in his hand, smiled calmly, and said with a look of knowing everything in his chest: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, our army's eastward expedition is not just to exterminate the Liangshan bandits, but to beat the rabbits with grass, and even Fang Lana will be wiped out together!"
