Chapter 0279: Maha Pool

The spring on the Maha pond is early, and the water is loved to see the flowers. The pen % fun % pavilion www.biquge.info Li Xue opened the song fan to cover, and the green poplar wind danced back to the waist.

Maha Pond was built in the second year of Emperor Wen of Sui, when the king of Shu Yang Xiu town Chengdu, expanded the sub-city, enclosed a water pool into the expansion into an artificial lake, and built a scattered flower building for pleasure. When a monk from the Western Regions saw it, he said a Sanskrit word: Maha Gong Vira. Meaning: There are dragons in the vast area. Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, was disobedient and named the lake Maha Pond.

Later, in the Tang Dynasty, the number of palaces along the lake increased, and the surface of the Maha Pond narrowed. To the five dynasties ago Shu, Wang Jian built the palace and incorporated the Maha Pond into the palace garden, and renamed it the Dragon Leap Pool. Wang Yan succeeded to the throne and then expanded, injected living water into the Longyue Pond, renamed Xuanhua Pond, built palaces, pavilions and pavilions around the pond, and its range was as wide as ten miles.

When Meng Chang ascended the throne, he lived in the dormitory of his concubine Hua Rui, and was renamed Mahachi, and the palace was renamed Xuanhua Palace. On the small island where the white marble bridge extends into the middle of the lake, there is another summer palace called Penglai Palace.

In the eighteenth year of Shu Guangzheng, it was only in the middle of summer, there was no heat in Chengdu, but Meng Chang took Concubine Hui to live in Xuanhua Palace early, if there was no major event in the court, Meng Chang also handled government affairs here. But now, the northern border of Shubei is alarmed, and the report of the loss of the fortress fortress is flying like snowflakes to Chengdu, and Meng Chang can't sit still.

"Someone! Summons Li Hao, Li Tingqi, and Gao Yanyan to meet! Meng Chang threw out a stack of books in annoyance, patted the imperial case and yelled, he was Chinese New Year's Eve at the time, but because he had been addicted to fun for a long time, loved Fang Shijin's book in the room, and often took pills, he became more and more irritable, his body was fat and bloated, and his face was also full of fat, of course, the ministers praised him for being rich and handsome.

"Your Majesty, why should you be angry, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, and the Zhou army is not a divine soldier descending from the sky, it is not that it cannot be resisted, and it is necessary to deal with military affairs calmly." With the clanging sound of the ring, the slender and graceful figure of Concubine Hui Fei appeared at the door.

Her jet-black hair was coiled high, several hairpins inlaid with rubies were inserted in her hair, and the crystal pearls swayed gently with the fine steps, wearing an apricot yellow can-collared Luo shirt, a light green tunic skirt, and a large-sleeved robe with a light blue pattern on a pink background.

Fei used to be a kabuki, because of his beautiful appearance, unparalleled national color, and more versatile, he only entered the palace for a few years before he was favored by Meng Chang, and everyone at the time was called Mrs. Hua Rui, which means that she is as beautiful as a flower, and the stamen is as delicate and fragrant as a flower.

"Concubine, please take a seat! Speaking of which, this Zhao Jizha is really damned, in vain I trusted him so much, he ran back before he arrived in Fengzhou, and he is still on the way. Meng Chang said angrily.

"The concubine saw that His Majesty worked hard and boiled lotus seed and lily soup, and His Majesty used it first and then met with Li Xianggong and several generals." Fei Shi sat down next to him, beckoned the two palace maids to step forward, and put the tray containing a small bowl of white jade lotus leaf porridge on Meng Chang's desk, and the palace maid put down the tray and bowed her head and stepped aside.

"Good! The weather is getting hotter and hotter, how about moving into Penglai Palace in a few days? Meng Chang pushed away a bunch of chapters and picked up the small bowl.

"The concubine's body is cold, so don't want it! His Majesty has major affairs to deal with, and it is inconvenient to live in Penglai Palace. Fei sighed in her heart, Meng Chang was becoming more and more ridiculous in political affairs, and she had been trying to persuade her, but it was useless.

Suddenly, seeing him staring at him with burning eyes, Fei Shi felt a burst of anger in his heart, and he hated that iron could not become steel. In recent years, he has recruited beautiful girls from the people, so that Fang Shi can refine red pills and explore his room technique, but I don't know how many young ladies have suffered. Some families heard about this, and the girl married early before she grew up, but he ignored it and was obsessed with it.

"What's the inconvenience? As the Son of Heaven, I should be worthy of my word, but Concubine Ai is also right, I can't let you feel cold. Meng Chang has been a disciple of the generals since he was a child, and later his father Meng Zhixiang took the throne of Shu, he has been living in the deep palace, and he has no personal experience of the people's suffering, but he can often listen to the persuasion of Mrs. Hua Rui.

"Your Majesty, use it slowly! It is inconvenient for the concubine to stay for a long time, so she retired first! Mrs. Blossom got up, put her hands on her waist, and slowly withdrew from the study.

Meng Chang ran out of porridge, and the palace maid stepped forward to take away the tray and retreated. After a while, a purple-robed old man wearing a black veil strode in, about fifty years old. Behind him were two generals in brocade robes, one of whom was tall and had a bearded chin. The latter person is younger, about thirty years old, of medium stature.

"Ministers Li Hao, Li Tingqi, and Gao Yanyu meet Your Majesty!" The three of them saluted in unison.

"Li Aiqing! How about the money and grain in the three divisions? Can it be transferred to the Fengzhou front line as soon as possible? What if the war drags on? Meng Chang asked lightly.

"Back to Your Majesty! The grain and grass supporting the front line have been gathered in Langzhou, and they can go north to Lizhou along the Jialing River, and then change to the land route, so that there is no obstacle to supplying the army. Li Hao bowed and replied, thought about it and said: "This week, the Zhou army is attacking in a big way, if you want to make it quit, you need to contact your allies to discuss it, Taiyuan Liu Chong and Guo are big enemies, you can persuade him to send troops from Taiyuan." In addition, Li Jing of the Southern Tang Dynasty has been the emperor for many years, and he is hostile to each other in the Central Plains, so he can also ask him to send troops to help. ”

"Feasible! Aiqing can consider the election recommendation of the messenger and complete this matter as soon as possible! Meng Chang nodded in agreement, then looked at the two generals next to him and asked, "Have the two generals finished assembling the soldiers?" When is the best day to set out? ”

"I heard that the Zhou army broke through Bazhai in six days, and the troops marched extremely fast, and the grain and straw of the forbidden army have now been adjusted, and the minister thinks that the sooner the better." Tall, bearded is Li Tingqi, he is a native of Taiyuan, Hedong, at the age of seven to serve Meng Zhixiang, can be regarded as a long minister, more than 40 years old, now leading the Khotanese Baoning Festival, and protecting the Holy Control Crane Commander.

"Today, on the tenth day of the first month, Rong soldiers say goodbye to their families, and please leave on the eleventh!" The young general next to him is Gao Yanyu, who also entered Shu from Meng Zhixiang, successively served as the general of the forbidden army and the towns in Shu, and now leads the envoy of the Zhaowu Festival in Lizhou, and the commander of the Guangsheng Infantry Army.

"Very good! On the day of the expedition, I will personally march for the soldiers, and hope that the flag will be victorious, and the good news will be made as soon as possible! "At the time of the use of troops, Meng Chang was still very generous to the generals.

The next day, Meng Chang issued an edict: Li Tingqi, the envoy of the Baoning Festival and the commander of the Shengkong Hedu, was the commander of the camp on the North Road; Guangsheng infantry army commander Gao Yanyu as the envoy, Wuning Jiedu made Lu Yanke as the deputy envoy, and Zhao Chongtao was the commander of the Ke Province as the commander of the soldiers and horses, and set out to Fengzhou on the same day.

On May 11, Meng Chang really put on his helmet and armor, rode the royal horse in the palace, hung a luxurious sword inlaid with various gems at his waist, and led thousands of guards to the east outside the Yinghui Gate to see off the forbidden army.

Li Tingqi and Gao Yanyu led the soldiers to bid farewell to Meng Chang, and left Chengdu with 20,000 horses, and arrived in Mianyang on May 16, and received a military report from Wang Huan, the envoy of the mighty festival of Fengzhou: The main force of the Zhou army had captured Huanghua Valley on the ninth day of the first month, and captured more than 2,000 soldiers such as Zhao Chongpu and Sun Tao, the capital eunuch of Fengzhou.

On the tenth day of the first month, the Zhou army went south from the mighty city, and now set up a large camp in the east of the city, building siege equipment, trying to attack the city on the one hand, and coercing Zhao Chongpu to persuade him to surrender everywhere, causing many fortresses on the periphery of Fengzhou City to surrender without a fight.

Not wanting the Zhou army to advance so quickly, Li Tingqi was shocked, and discussed with Gao Yanyu, Lu Yanke, Zhao Chongtao and others, and decided to advance at the same time, first go to Xingzhou and Xingyuan Mansion to block the enemy from moving south, and then make plans at the front line.

But soon, Qinzhou had a military report arrived: on the first day of the first month of May, the Fengxiang military general Zhang Jianxiong sent 5,000 troops out of the Great Earthquake Pass, broke through Sanzhai along the way, and broke through Qinyuan County on the fifth day of the first month, and on the way to Qinling County, Han Jixun's department crossed the Weishui to the north, and the two armies met and fought on a narrow road, Han Jixun was caught off guard against a big defeat, and is now stationed in Qinling County to delay the enemy to the south.

There is also a report from the Yuanzhou Wuding Festival to Pang Fucheng's army: Zhou Jinzhou's defense envoy Bing Shaohui has 3,500 soldiers out of the stone head, and marched westward along the Han River, which is now blocked by the Wuding army and is facing off. (To be continued.) )
