After Wang Shichong returned to Yangzhou, he didn't say a word, and the ministers didn't dare to say more, seeing that Wang Shichong was in a bad mood, he retreated. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Wang Shiwei had already dragged his two sons back to the house to discuss matters, and Wang Shichong sat alone in the hall, unspeakably lonely.

When he returned, he sat until dusk.

After the afterglow of the remnant sun fell into the golden hall, there was some bright gold, and Wang Shichong moved on the dragon chair.

The people of the palace didn't dare to say much, everyone knew that although this emperor was funny, he was also easy to kill.

When he laughs, he can even call you brothers, but when it's easy to kill, he can kill your nine clans and dig up the graves of your eight generations of ancestors.

People who offend Wang Shichong have always been bad at death, but there is one exception, but the palace people are self-aware and know that they will not be exceptional.

Now they only hope that this holy god can eat early and return to rest, then they will be thankful. Now even the palace people already know that the army of the King of Xiliang is pressing the border, and the five cities are even overwhelmed, and now the people are panicked and are planning a way out.

Wang Shichong finally got up slowly, with an indescribable tiredness on his face, he turned around the harem, and did not go to find a concubine, but went to a very large room.

The palace people accompanied Wang Shichong to the front of the house, but they all stopped. In this room, except for Wang Shichong, only one palace person can enter to clean it, but the palace person is a mute.

The whole thing that the dumb palace man said was to clean the house, and he never paid attention to everyone except Wang Shichong. Therefore, no one can know the secrets of the house from his mouth.

Everyone wants to know what's in the house, but no one dares to know. They heard that after Wang Shichong entered Yangzhou, he set this room as a forbidden place, and no one was allowed to enter it except for him and the dumb palace person!

There was once a concubine of Wang Shichong, who was very liked by Wang Shichong, and it was inevitable to be spoiled. She was unlucky, just when Wang Shichong arrived, and the concubine wanted to be coquettish, but Wang Shichong ordered to cut off her limbs, gouge out her eyes, and cut off her tongue.

Since then, no one has ever thought of entering the house.

After Wang Shichong opened the door, he stood for a long time before entering the room. The palace people behind him didn't even dare to peek into the house.

There was obviously something strange in that room, because every time Wang Shichong came out, it became even more strange.

The door closed, cutting off Wang Shichong's back, but the movement from the room was uninterrupted. That kind of movement, at the beginning, was still very depressing, and after a while, it became a 'ping-pong' beating. Everyone in the palace knew that it was Wang Shichong venting the anger in his heart, he had been suppressed for too long recently.

But with the sound of ping-pong, mixed with Wang Shichong's hissing and shouting, although the palace people didn't want to hear it, they still heard it clearly. Wang Shichong just kept saying a few words.

Swindler! It's all liars!

Wang Shichong's shouting, with deep hatred, the palace people hung their heads, not wanting to say anything. But the corners of everyone's mouths have a disdainful smile. In their eyes, Wang Shichong is indeed an out-and-out liar.

But of course Wang Shichong will not find out in his conscience and scold himself for being a liar, so who is he scolding? All people have such doubts in their hearts!

**

Xiao Buyi took his personal guards, day and night, and this day has returned to the Eastern Capital. Xiao Buyi didn't like to disturb the people, so he turned back quietly, but after arriving in the Eastern Capital, he immediately summoned Lu Chu, Wei Zheng, Ma Zhou and Xu Shiji.

Xu Shiji was originally in Xingyang, and when he learned that Xiao Buyi had returned to the Eastern Capital, he rushed back to the Eastern Capital in the starry night.

Dongdu settled down for a long time, and began to scratch again.

Because everyone knows that the Hebei army is attacking fiercely and has invaded the territory of Henan, is it true that God has no eyes and does not want to give the people half a bit of peace?

However, although the people were uneasy, they finally knew that the sky was falling, and the king of Xiliang was on their side, and what they could do was to do their best to resist the invading enemy.

Of course, it doesn't matter if people can't afford it, at least they can scold a few words about the brutality of the Hebei Army in the streets and alleys, and strengthen the confidence of the people in resisting the Hebei Army.

After Yang Jian ruled the world, hundreds of years of turmoil ended, and the people finally had a few decades to live. But no one thought that the good days would be so short, and in an instant, there would be smoke everywhere. Fortunately, at the moment of crisis, a king of Xiliang came, and they sincerely hoped that the king of Xiliang could restore Yang Jian's grand situation at that time.

When Xu Shiji saw Xiao Buyi, he knelt down and said: "The last general is unfavorable for the United Front, please punish the king of Xiliang!" ”

Xiao Buyi has countless fierce generals, but there are only two handsome people, one is Li Jing and the other is Xu Shiji. Xiao Buyi trusted the two of them very much, one monopolized power and pacified Jiangnan, and the other sat in the eastern capital to coordinate the Eastern Expedition and Northern Expedition for Xiao Buyi.

Li Jing has made great contributions, and he has been invincible all the way south from Jingxiang to the Yangtze River, relatively speaking, Xu Shiji is much weaker. But Xiao Buyi never thought so, Xu Shiji sat in the Eastern Capital, in addition to strategizing and ensuring supply, he also trained the world-famous Western Liang army for Xiao Buyi.

The current Western Liang Army, regardless of the iron cavalry infantry, under the training of Xu Shiji, is close to the peak of the realm, the combat is strict, well-trained, with these soldiers, Xiao Buyi has the confidence to confront any force in the world.

Zhang Zhenzhou, Qin Shubao and others were able to have the command of the disciplined Western Liang Army, and Xu Shiji really contributed to it.

Seeing Xu Shiji kneeling, Xiao Buyi hurriedly helped him up and said: "Why did General Xu say this, thinking that Dou Jiande is not an ordinary person after all, the battlefield is impermanent, and the general wins the general, what do you gain by gaining or losing for a while?" ”

Lu Chu also said: "What the King of Xiliang said is extremely true, General Xu actually learned that Liyang was besieged and had lifted the siege as soon as possible, but no one expected that Dou Jiande was so fierce, and we still underestimated his determination." ”

Wei Zheng said: "General Xu, now is not the time to find a way to review your mistakes, but to find a way to make up for them." ”

Xu Shiji stood up at this time, his face depressed. He has had great ambitions since he was a child, and later worshipped Li Jing as his teacher, and has always taken Li Jing as his goal. He lost Liyang, and then made the Northern Expedition lose its excellent foundation, and he felt really guilty in his heart.

Xiao Buyi saw that he was in a bad mood and knew that he was a very responsible person, so he was ashamed of defeat. smiled and said: "Although General Xu sits in the Eastern Capital, Liyang has fallen, and he should be responsible." So be it, a fine of one year, as a punishment. ”

Xu Shiji felt a sense of relief, and said in a deep voice: "The last general should do his best to correct his mistakes." ”

Xiao Buyi motioned for everyone to sit down, remembered something and said: "Liyang fell, Di Hongyuan and Qi Luo died in battle, how are their families settled?" ”

Ma Zhou said: "Weichen has properly settled their families, and please rest assured that King Xiliang." ”

Xiao Buyi was silent for a long time and said: "Liyang has fallen, can the soldiers killed in the battle be counted?" ”

Ma Zhou hesitated a little this time, "Qiqi Xiliang King, Weichen has sent people to try his best to count, but this matter is quite laborious, and Weichen can only say that he will do his best." ”

Xiao Buyi nodded and said in a deep voice: "No matter what, we must do it as soon as possible." ”

Ma Zhou was born in a poor family, and when he saw that although Xiao Buyi was in a high position, he never slackened to appease the soldiers, and said gratefully: "Weichen knows." ”

After Xiao Buyi finished his order, he was silent for a long time, as if he was silently mourning the dead soldiers in Liyang. The crowd did not dare to disturb, so they had to remain silent.

Xiao Buyi came back to his senses and asked, "The fall of Liyang is a very important matter, and you adults don't know what to do. ”

Xu Shiji said: "The last general has not sent troops in Xingyang for a long time, but he is afraid that Dou Jiande will use the strategy of luring the enemy. Now that the king of Western Liang has returned, the eastern capital is worry-free, and the last general asks for an order to lead troops to recapture Liyang! ”

Everyone agreed, but Xiao Buyi thought for a long time, "I don't agree with retaking Liyang immediately." ”

Lu Chu was surprised: "Why did the King of Xiliang say this? I think that Liyang is the main road for us to attack Hebei, if we don't take it back, how can we enter Hebei? ”

Xiao Buyi smiled and said: "Now that the Hebei army is in full swing, Liyang is obviously extremely important in the eyes of us and them. At this moment, if you send troops to meet hard, you will suffer heavy losses. ”

Xu Shiji finally nodded, "But since there is war, of course there will be death." The Hebei army has been dominating in Hebei, and it has been too smooth in the past few years, and if it can be given a head-on blow, the management and security will demoralize them, and they may be torn apart. ”

Xiao Buyi raised his eyebrows and thought of something, "By the way, how is Luo Yi now?" ”

Lu Chu frowned, "This person is extremely arrogant and ambitious, and he doesn't pay attention to our envoy of Zhao'an. ”

Wei Zheng shook his head, "It seems that I hope he will attack Dou Jiande, it is unlikely." ”

Xiao Buyi was not surprised, "He has suffered defeats under General Li, and it is inevitable that he will not accept it." Besides, even if Wang Shichong still wants to make another storm, Luo Yi has always been a hero, and it is inevitable that he will be lucky. This kind of person...... Hum! ”

Xiao Buyi snorted coldly, and everyone heard the coldness in his tone, knowing that Xiao Buyi had moved to kill.

The most important point is that he hopes to rely on these surrendered bandits to let the world know that submission is the only way out. But now that the overall situation has been decided, those who are still resisting are of course uncomfortable. Xiao Buyi has slowly changed from recruiting to purging, and if he doesn't return to obedience, he no longer has the patience to persuade them to surrender. After all, everyone knows that there are only a handful of bandits in the world!

Xu Shiji said: "King Xiliang, although Luo Yi refuses to surrender, I want to ...... It would be better for us to send a few more envoys. ”

"What's the use of that?" Lu Chu wondered.

Xu Shiji said: "As far as I know, Luo Yi is ambitious, but he is also suspicious. We keep recruiting An, give him a way out, let him not join forces with Dou Jiande for a while, if so, we can have one less enemy. ”

Xiao Buyi agreed: "Okay, remember to do this." He only told him once, knowing that the rest of the matter would be dealt with by a group of men, and he would never forget it. Immediately moved on to another question, Xiao Buyi asked, "Wang Fubao is very powerful?" ”

Xu Shiji immediately said: "Wang Fubao, Liu Heimin and Su Dingfang are the three tigers under Dou Jiande, and Wang Fubao's ability to lead the army is still above Liu Heimin." This time, Lord Zhang Zhenzhou could not support Liyang in time, which can be said to have a great relationship with this Wang Fubao. ”

Xiao Buyi's fingers tapped on the table and muttered for a long time, "Dou Jiande's sharpness lies in the fact that he has many loyal subordinates. ”

"That's true." Wei Zheng said bluntly: "He can be said to be very similar to the King of Xiliang, many brothers are friends of life and death. ”

Comparing Xiao Buyi with Dou Jiande is a bit unscrupulous. Lu Chu frowned, secretly worried about this upright Wei Zheng, Xiao Buyi just smiled, "Yes, he has many brothers and is loyal." Have you noticed that Dou Jiande's power is different from Li Mi, Li Mi is talented and ambitious, but he despises his subordinates and cannot give full play to the maximum effect of his subordinates. Therefore, although he has Cheng Yanjin, Qin Shubao, Wang Junkuo, Shan Xiongxin and other fierce generals, he still can't succeed. ”

Everyone nodded, "What King Xiliang said is true. Xu Shiji said: "There is indeed a big difference between Dou Jiande and Li Mi, Luo Shixin is arrogant and uninhibited, and betrayed the people who took refuge several times, but when he came to Dou Jiande, he was desperate and had no heart to betray. Luo Shixin was in the army for 14 years and experienced in a hundred battles, and like Wang Fubao, it was not easy to deal with. ”

Xiao Buyi fell into silence again, everyone knew that every time Xiao Buyi thought like this, someone would be unlucky.

"Since Dou Jiande has this characteristic, we have no problem fighting with him, after all, Zhang Zhenzhou, Pei Xingyan and others will definitely not be worse than Wang Fubao and Luo Shixin."

Seeing everyone nodding, Xiao Buyi said slowly: "But a tough battle means that the casualties are extremely heavy, I still remember the bloody battle of Luokou at the beginning, I really can't bear to experience it again." Besides, our main enemy is Li Tang, not Dou Jiande. It is not wise to spend the strength on the Hebei army. ”

Lu Chu reminded: "But...... If he doesn't stop it, I'm afraid that Dou Jiande will soon be in the city. ”

"It's not that you don't block, but you want to lure them over." Xiao Buyi said cautiously: "Dou Jiande's soldiers are in Liyang, near Liyang, we have no danger to defend. In this case, it is better to send more troops to hold the two counties of Hanoi and Changping. Then the battle line was pulled to the vicinity of Niukou and Tiger Prison. Relying on the tiger prison natural danger, if they want to break through, they are bound to ascend to the sky. As long as we hold each other for a while, we will wait for an opportunity to get rid of Dou Jiande's arm, and as long as Dou Jiande's generals fall apart and are suspicious of each other, that will be the time for us to counterattack. ”

Xiao Buyi explained his intentions simply and clearly, but everyone looked at each other.

Lu Chu was the first to ask: "I don't know what the king of Xiliang has to do to get rid of Dou Jiande's wings?" ”

Xiao Buyi asked: "We discussed the eradication of Wang Fubao before, is there any news on Cao Dan's side?" ”

"Cao Dan is greedy for money and lustful, only looking at the present, and he is also plotting the way back. We tried to buy him, and he took our money, but with him alone, he would never be able to bring down Wang Fubao, because Dou Jiande is very righteous and trusts Wang Fubao very much. Xu Shiji said: "In order to avoid startling the snake, we have not used this chess piece for the time being." ”

Xiao Buyi nodded and said, "You guys are doing very well, where is Wang Fubao now?" ”

"Right now, he and Lord Zhang are in a stalemate in Dongping, they have taken Liyang, and they will not give up the plan to attack Dongping." Xu Shiji said: "Dongping has been deadlocked for a long time, and if it can be taken down, it will undoubtedly be a big blow to us." ”

Xiao Buyi smiled, "Prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone." ”

The pen, ink, paper, and inkstone arrived soon, but everyone didn't know what Xiao Buyi was going to do. After all, Xiao Buyi has more time to touch the knife and less time to touch the pen, and everyone is very curious about what Xiao Buyi wants to write.

Xiao Buyi sharpened the ink by himself, and then pushed the pen and ink in front of Xu Shiji, "I said, you write." ”

Xu Shiji was slightly stunned, but he still wrote and prepared, he was both civil and military, so he naturally didn't care about writing a letter. Xiao Buyi groaned slightly, and said: "I heard that General Wang bravely crowned the three armies, and this king has been friends for a long time, and I hope to talk about it." ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Buyi thought for a while, and Xu Shiji asked, "What else to write?" ”

Xiao Buyi shook his head, took out a king seal, covered it on the paper and said, "Okay, I will send a messenger today to find a way to hand over this letter to Wang Fubao." ”

Lu Chu frowned and said, "King Xiliang, if you persuade you to surrender like this, I'm afraid it's useless." ”

Xu Shiji laughed, "Good plan." ”

Seeing that Wei Zheng and Lu Chu were a little sleepy, Xiao Buyi stamped a few more pieces of paper with the king's seal, looked at Xu Shiji with a smile and said, "You should know how to do the rest of the things?" ”

Xu Shiji nodded, but Xiao Buyi stretched his waist and said, "Since it's okay, I'll go home to see the aftermath." He was about to leave the palace, when Lu Chu suddenly shouted: "King Xiliang ......"

"What?" Xiao Buyi asked.

Lu Chu said: "The king of Xiliang has been going to Jiangnan for a long time, although it is a conquest, but the ministers miss it very much. The old minister thought that you should take some time to meet them. ”

Xiao Buyi smiled dumbly, only then did he realize that he was a little unqualified as the king of Xiliang, at least he had not been in the early dynasty for a long time. The attitude of the ministers of the Eastern Capital towards him has long changed, from the rejection at the beginning, to the acceptance later, and then to the dependence now. This feeling made him feel very good.

Nodding, Xiao Buyi walked out of the palace, and Lu Chu immediately asked Xu Shiji: "General Xu, the old man is ignorant, and he doesn't know what the king of Xiliang has planned. ”

Xu Shiji smiled and said, "Every once in a while, we will send a letter to Wang Fubao." Wang Fubao is loyal to Dou Jiande, and of course he will not take refuge. But the letters of the king of Xiliang can always arrive, and Wang Fubao has a clear conscience, but others don't necessarily think so. ”

Wei Zheng patted his thigh and said: "I see, the king of Xiliang only needs a few letters, which can make Dou Jiande suspicious of Wang Fubao, if we use Cao Dan to add fuel to the fire, or use some other means, Wang Fubao will be in danger." ”

Lu Chu finally understood, and said excitedly: "As long as Dou Jiande kills Wang Fubao, the Hebei army will definitely be panicked, and when the time comes, the Hebei army will collapse without attacking." The plan of the King of Xiliang is really clever! ”

**

When Xu Shiji and the three discussed, Xiao Buyi had already left the inner city. He turned back from Yongfu, dressed casually, and discussed with Lu Chu and others, looking like ordinary people.

However, whether it is the ministers or the generals defending the city, they are all used to Xiao Buyi's behavior.

King Xiliang is different, this is known to all.

He walked around the inner city, chatted with the soldiers guarding the city, and asked some gossip, but the soldiers were excited. Xiao Buyi saw that everyone was loyal, but when he left the city, he sighed.

But what he sighed about, he didn't understand.

Walking down Luoshui, Xiao Buyi stood in a quiet place, thinking too much. His temple career started from this Luoshui, and like Luoshui, he was reluctant to move forward day and night.

Watching Luoshui boats coming and going, the corners of Xiao Buyi's eyes were moist, maybe only at this time, he was Xiao Buyi. At other times, he was nothing more than a high-ranking king of Western Liang.

suddenly wanted to drink, although Xiao Buyi knew that he would not get drunk, but he was also thrilled to imagine the feeling of drinking one by one.

I remember that there was a restaurant nearby, and when I came with my brothers, Xiao Buyi was about to look for it, and suddenly heard a noise nearby, as if someone was fighting.

Xiao Buyi is very strange, since he governed the Eastern Capital, the people have been happy, and they all seem to have a bit of a taste of the road, who will cause trouble at the feet of the Son of Heaven?

followed the sound and walked over, only to find that a person staggered out of a restaurant, fell to the ground, and shouted vigorously, "Wine...... Give me a drink. ”

Xiao Buyi sighed, secretly thinking that only an alcoholic would be so ignorant. The shopkeeper and his men had already gathered around the man, punching and kicking, and shouting, "Let you eat white food." ”

Xiao Buyi didn't want to pay attention to it, turned around to leave, but just about to move, his body suddenly stiffened. Turning his head in disbelief and looking at the drunkard, Xiao Buyi was stunned for a moment, and hurried over.

At this time, a fellow was holding a burning stick, and he was about to fight. Suddenly, the head of the stick was grabbed by a person, and Xiao Buyi said in a deep voice: "Stop." ”

Even if Xiao Buyi was dressed like the people, but that temperament had already made people look sideways, and the guy couldn't help but let go of the stick, took two steps back and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The onlookers had such a moment of tranquility, Xiao Buyi ignored everyone, leaned down, looked at the person on the ground, and said in surprise: "Manager Du, why are you?" ”

The down-and-out drunkard on the ground turned out to be Du Fuwei!

Xiao Buyi never thought that the powerful Jianghuai side would reach the point where it is today. Not only did he drink alcohol and have no money, but he also ate white food, and he couldn't fight back when he was beaten.

With anger in his heart, Xiao Buyi almost immediately wanted to ask the relevant officials what was going on. No matter what Du Fuwei is like now, after all, he is a man, and Xiao Buyi only respects him. But Du Fuwei, as a member of the imperial court, Rong Lu is the same for a while, how can he be so depressed now?

It turned out that after Du Fuwei dealt with the matter of Liyang and handed over the rest of the things to Yizi Kan Ling to deal with, he returned to the Eastern Capital, he returned a few days earlier than Xiao Buyi, and when Xiao Buyi returned to the Eastern Capital, he still wanted to visit him, but he didn't expect to meet here.

Some soldiers had already noticed the stirring here and rushed over, and when the shopkeeper saw Xiao Buyi, his face changed slightly, but he didn't dare to confirm it. When the soldiers saw Xiao Buyi, they hurriedly knelt down and said, "See King Xiliang, his subordinates are not well protected, and please forgive me." They didn't know what was going on here, but they could see that the king of Xiliang was supporting a drunk, and they were all shocked into a cold sweat.

The shopkeeper's frightened feet were a little weak, and he knelt down with all the guys, pleading guilty, Xiao Buyi didn't care, just looked at Du Fuwei's face, and found that the original high-spirited and pointing the country had turned into wine and sorrow, a little blood and tears......
