Chapter 269: Huangfu Chen's Dream

The withdrawal of the whole line of the Yongzhou army made several families happy and worried, from the time of the withdrawal of the army ordered by Queen Shen, the Xiliang army also slowly withdrew north, the Xiliang army left Luojiao County, and also withdrew from the Kite Gorge, and the threat of Fengxiang was lifted, which made Yongjing breathe a long sigh of relief, although the troops in Yuzhou were nothing, but at least Huangfu Heng was forced to die, making Yongjing the only court in the world, which is also a harvest, as for the Huangfu Wujin Northern Expedition, occupying Qizhou, the power is getting stronger and stronger, but because of the separation from Yongjing Jinzhou and Yuzhou, they don't want to think too much.

And Yongzhou withdrew the entire army, and the Qi King Huangfu was also a beneficiary, and he was able to monopolize the entire city of Luojing and the land left after the withdrawal of the Yong army.

If Huang Fu decided to join forces with the Yongzhou army to attack Chu, then the withdrawal of the Yong army might make him lose, but the problem is that Huang Fu didn't want to unite with the Yongzhou army at all, so the withdrawal of the Yongzhou army would only make Huang Fu secretly happy.

At noon, when the last team of Yongzhou troops withdrew from Luojing Duanmen, a long horn sounded on the city wall, which was the helpless farewell of the Yongzhou army.

And on Duanmen Street, thousands of guards surrounded the chariot of King Qi crossed the Luoshui Bridge, on the chariot, the emperor looked at the Duanmen Street where he had trembling and trembling, his heart was full of pride, he fled from Luojing when the frustration and loss, at this time swept away, this is the capital of the Daning Dynasty, is the solid cornerstone of the king of the world, and now the largest city of the Daning Dynasty is finally owned by him, which makes him not full of emotion.

"Your Highness, it's time, Your Highness can now consider ascending the throne, and the ministers will give their full support!"

This is the minister who followed him on horseback, the suggestion of Zhao Yuanliang, the former secretary of the Ministry of War, and the former Taifu Temple Secretary Wu Zheng also followed on horseback, these two are high-ranking officials who once supported him, they were deposed in the case of Luo Qiyu last year, and have been silent, after the King of Qi captured Luojing, they began to become active, not only re-surrendered to the King of Qi, but also gave him a network of more than 30 middle- and lower-level officials of the imperial court who were hiding near Luojing, some of these officials were dismissed, and some escaped from the court of Huangfu Heng, The arrival of these officials brought great confidence to the King of Qi, and Zhao Yuanliang and Wu Zheng also became the left and right men of Huangfu Yuan.

Zhao Yuanliang has been persuading Huangfu Yuan to ascend the throne, but Huang Fuyuan just smiled and didn't answer, Zhao Yuanliang knew that Huangfu Yuan didn't want to, but was waiting for an opportunity, and now that Luojing City has been completely unified, is that an opportunity?

Zhao Yuanliang decided to persuade again, he took out a joint memo and presented it to Huang Fu, "Your Highness, this is a joint appeal from thirty-six ministers, asking Your Highness to ascend the throne, and the king of Xingyang County, Huang Fu Jie, also signed to support it, Your Highness, you can't chill the hearts of the ministers!" ”

Huang Fu Xi took the recital and looked aside, there was indeed an appeal signed by the ministers, in fact, Huang Fu did not want to ascend the throne, he dreamed of it, but he also understood that the people of the world may not support him, he must at least control the situation before he can consider ascending the throne.

"Let Lone think about it!"

He has changed his name, not calling himself me, but calling himself Lonely, this is a subtle psychological change, Zhao Yuanliang knows his psychological changes very well, and persuaded him: "Your Highness, Huangfu Heng is dead, Yongjing is the world of the Shen family, unpopular, at this time there is no owner in the world, if Your Highness does not seize this opportunity to be the emperor, let others take the lead, it will be too late to regret!" ”

Who is the 'others', Zhao Yuanliang didn't say it explicitly, he knew that Huang Fuxi didn't want to hear that name, but it didn't matter, this sentence had enough weight.

Huang Fu was a little moved, yes, now it can be said that there is no master in the world, if he doesn't seize this opportunity, it is indeed a pity, he hesitated.

Zhao Yuanliang saw that Huang Fu was already moved, he immediately turned around and gave Wu Zheng a look, Wu Zheng understood, he nodded, indicating that everything was arranged.

Just when Huang Fu Yuan bowed his head and was silent, there was a sudden commotion on the side of the road, interrupting Huang Fu Yuan's contemplation, and he asked unhappily, "Who is making noise?" ”

A personal soldier went to check and came back in a moment to report: "Back to Your Highness, it is dozens of elderly elders, and they have asked to see Your Highness!" ”

Hearing that it was an old man, Huangfu immediately nodded, "Bring them up!" ”

The chariot stopped, and several sergeants stepped forward with dozens of gray-haired old men, there were seventy or eighty people, and a trace of imperceptible pride flashed in Zhao Yuanliang's eyes.

"Your Highness!"

Dozens of old men knelt down together, as if they had rehearsed beforehand, and shouted together: "On behalf of the millions of people in Luojing, we implore His Highness to ascend the throne, and His Highness's enthronement is the desire of the people." ”

Huangfu was stunned, and after a while, his eyes lit up and asked, "Is this what you think in your hearts?" ”

"It's our idea, and it's also the wish of the people of the world, the country can't be said to be ownerless, Your Highness, ascend the throne!"

The old people were gossiping and asked Huangfu to ascend the throne, and Huangfu sighed long, "Is this the will of the people?" ”

At this moment, a middle-aged man next to him rushed up and shouted loudly: "Your Highness, don't believe it, this is Zhao Yuanliang's deliberate arrangement." ”

The person who rushed up was Huang Fu Yuan's staff, he was snubbed by Huang Fu Yuan, refused to see him, he has been looking for an opportunity to persuade Huang Fu Yuan again, today Huang Fu Yuan inspected Luojing South City, he was waiting here, he saw that Huang Fu Yuan would be deceived by such a simple deception, he couldn't help but be anxious, and rushed out desperately to expose Zhao Yuanliang's tricks.

Huangfu Yuan's face suddenly became gloomy, and he suddenly reacted, if these old men begged him to maintain the order of Luojing, it was possible, but begging him to ascend the throne, this seemed very ridiculous.

Huangfu couldn't hold his face, he turned his head and glared at Zhao Yuanliang, but Zhao Yuanliang smiled faintly and said: "Zhuge Liang invited Liu Bei to ascend the throne, what's the matter?" ”

Seeing that he admitted that it was not true, the emperor was immediately distracted, and he was not in the mood to parade the streets again, so he immediately shouted: "Go back to the palace!" ”

The team turned around and headed towards the palace, chasing after them and shouting loudly: "Your Highness, please return to Qizhou as soon as possible, and start a war with Huangfu Wujin as soon as possible, our army can't afford to drag it out!" ”

If Zhao Yuanliang swept away the emperor's happiness, then Gao Gao was to shatter his dream, he hated Gao Gao even more in his heart, and he wanted to kill him with a knife, he glanced at Gao Gao coldly, pointed at him with a golden sword, gritted his teeth at the surrounding guards, and said: "Next time let me see this person, none of you will live!" ”

Huang Fu Yuan's convoy did not look back, stood on the side of the road with high losses, and let out a long sigh, he never understood why Huang Fu Yuan couldn't see the situation clearly, hundreds of thousands of relatives of the army were hostages in the hands of Huang Fu Wujin, so, how could it be possible to let the soldiers work for him, could it be that just indulging the soldiers to loot could relieve the soldiers from missing their relatives?

Gao Gao fell into deep confusion, he really couldn't understand why Huangfu was so infatuated with Luo Jing, and he still wanted to ascend the throne in Luo Jing, he didn't understand!

......... Huangfu was silent all the way, didn't he really understand the importance of returning to Qizhou? No, he knew very well that his soldiers were all from Qizhou, and there were even deserters, he knew all this, but he no longer had the courage.

He thought more than once, what if he lost? If he had been defeated by Huangfu Wujin, would he still be able to maintain his status and glory today? The answer is no, he will have nothing, he will lose Luo Jing, lose his life, and his sons and daughters will also be poisoned like the children of Huang Fuheng.

His worries became more and more, and his courage became less and less, the prosperity of Luojing and the vanity of occupying the capital were eating down his fighting spirit a little bit, and he wanted to maintain the status quo, and did not dare to go to Dongjun to fight a decisive battle with Huangfu Wujin.

He was like an ostrich with his head buried in the sand, he didn't want to hear anything about Huangfu Wujin, as long as Huangfu Wujin was still in Dongjun, he had a trace of luck, and they would face each other like this forever.

The more time drags on, his courage will slowly die out, this is the cowardice of the surname, dare not face the reality, the reality has become his biggest taboo, he chose to escape, Huangfu Wujin, Dongjun These words, he doesn't want to hear at all, what he thinks is when he can ascend the throne? He is the lord of Luojing, he lives in the palace of his father, he is the master of this palace, and he lives in this dream one beautiful dream after another.

"Your Highness, let the ministers start preparing for the enthronement!"

There are also Zhao Yuanliang, who compiled his dreams, they figured out Huangfu's thoughts, and for their own interests, instigated Huangfuxi to ascend the throne as soon as possible.

"Yes, Lone promised to prepare, you can do it!"

This is the weakness of people's surnames, loyal words are against the ear, good words are comfortable, not everyone can work hard from adversity, and finally do great things, most people are sinking.

........ On the official road of Fugou County, Xuchang County, an army of 8,000 people is rapidly marching towards the direction of Yingchuan County, Xuchang County, at this time the rice has matured, the Central Plains is busy harvesting rice, on both sides of the official road, the yellow and clear rice fields are endless, from time to time you can see the farmers who are busy harvesting in the field, the sky is dusk, the sunset is reflected on the rice field, and the rice field is smeared with a layer of magnificent color. This army was an all-colored musket army, with hundreds of wagons and carrying a hundred artillery pieces and countless bullets and shells, and they came from East County. Led by General Zheng Yannian. Although the war has not started for a long time, it does not affect the strategic deployment of Huangfu Wujin, he implemented a pocket strategy, not to attack Luojing, but step by step to encroach on other lands in Yuzhou, seize enough food, and finally surround Luojing, ten days ago his army occupied Ruyin County and Runan County, and now his army wants to occupy Xuchang County.

Among the major counties in Yuzhou, Liang County, Xuchang County and Huaiyang County are the three major grain producing areas in Yuzhou, here are endless plains, fertile land, many rivers, but the homesteaders of these counties are also the least, most of them are tenant farmers, the land is occupied by the royal family, hundreds of manors of all sizes are distributed in the endless land, there are ninety-six in Xuchang County alone, occupying hundreds of thousands of hectares of the best land, and the owners of these manors are concentrated in Yongjing.

And these estates are also of strategic significance to Huangfu Wujin, he wants to reduce taxes and burdens on the world as the regent of the prison country, and win the hearts of the people in the world, but his hundreds of thousands of troops also need to be fed, where does the food come from? Huangfu Wujin's eyes fell on these estates that had hoarded a large amount of grain.
