PS: The weather is half cloudy and half sunny, with yellow clouds. A few crows swept low, not intending to linger. They are all shrewd hairy feathers, knowing that there are no sacrifices here, and there is no autumn wind. The barren grass in the courtyard was gilded with gold by the slanting sun, but there was no golden atmosphere, and the breeze bent down as soon as it came. Other than that, there is only a general's indelible block, a young man's vague restlessness, and a ruined idol of an ancient sage. If there is a stay in the underworld, you should know where the good and bad luck are and where the descendants will be.

Wang Zhen was stunned for a long time, knelt down and kowtowed to the broken statue of Zhang Liang:

"Stay on the throne, if the younger generation Wang Zhenevil can break the strong enemy, this time when he comes back, he must rebuild the ancestral house, so that the descendants will continue to sacrifice for generations."

Just as he was about to get up, with a bang, one of the statue's arms fell off and smashed a cloud of smoke and dust on the ground.

It is obvious that the wind and rain have been in the wind and rain for a long time, and the stump can no longer be hung.

It's just that the timing of its drop is too subtle.

Wang Zhen's evil face is like ashes.

Guo Xu heard Wang Zhen's evil voice getting louder and louder.

After reading Shen Tianzi's letter, Wang Zhenwei dropped the tea bowl at that time.

Soldiers regard obedience as their duty, and the most taboo thing is to bargain with their superiors. At present, Helian Bobo has already burned the fire to Chang'an's eyebrows, and Shen Tianzi, as the chief general of the northern front, actually ignored Shangfeng's order, and stretched out his hand to ask for troops at the same time, as if he was already commanding all roads. Since he has kicked the ball back, it is clear that he will not take the initiative to attack, and although Wang Zhenwei is an official and a master of the generals, it is impossible to whip a senior officer to fight, and this matter has to be decided at the level of Liu Yizhen, which means that Wang Xiu, who actually has the idea, must give an ultimate order that cannot be disobeyed.

Wang Xiu presented Shen Tianzi's letter to Liu Yizhen. The latter was playing with a sharp Qiang sheep's head handle scimitar and glanced at it casually. said that he wanted to do what I meant, so he directly criticized the word "fart" on his letter. Or hurry up and send troops. Either change to someone who dares to fight, what nonsense. However, the captain explained that he wanted me to learn from my predecessors, and I should not concentrate on myself. I didn't say anything, so you two can discuss it.

Wang Xiu is a civil official, and Liu Yu kept him as Liu Yizhen's long history, mainly because he values his uprightness and stability. In front of his eyes, although he has a judgment, it involves the military. is still mainly to listen to the king and suppress evil. took the letter and looked at it carefully, and raised his eyes to look at Wang Zhenxi:

"If you think about it again, does Shen Tianzi also have some sense?"

Wang Zhenwei actually agreed with Liu Yizhen's meaning very much, this little guy really got to the point, although his tongue was a little spicy.

"General Shen's reasoning is plausible! The Great Xia army came in three directions, but they did not attack in a coordinated pace, but stuck in one direction respectively, and the intention of the other two roads was to block our entry and exit routes, and only Helian Xuan was determined to take Chang'an. It's just Helian Bi, who came straight to Chang'an. It is not to forge ahead, but to test as we go, to see if our army is resolute in its will to fight. If he shows up, we'll give him a slap in the head. He did not dare to act rashly any more; If the fight hurts enough, Great Xia will not dare to take any more risks for a year and a half, so that we will have time to wait for reinforcements from Jiangdong. This time. The key to victory is to move fast and attack fiercely. Don't give your opponent a respite. If it is according to General Shen's style of play, he will be afraid of the enemy. If we do not attack for a long time, the arrogance of the Xia soldiers will be even more arrogant, and the common people in Guanzhong will also doubt our strength, and when the enemy is pressed on the front line of the Wei River, the geographical advantages and people's hearts will be lost, and the grain route will also be cut off. ”

Wang Xiu nodded and said that what Sima said was reasonable. I don't understand, when General Shen was in Yaoguan, his troops were still less than now, but he was able to make a thunderous blow and defeat Yao Hong's 30,000 army, and now it's only been a few months, and he suddenly has no edges and corners, what's wrong?

Wang Zhenwei just wanted to say something, but swallowed it back. Shen Tianzi has heard of the details of drinking and playing with women ignoring military affairs for a while. But everyone knows that he and Shen Tianzi are at odds, and if Shen Tianzi is said badly at this time, it is inevitable that he will be suspected of revenge.

Wang Xiu saw that he was silent, and suddenly realized his distress, but he was not willing to bury the matter lightly, so he ordered the messenger to come.

"You are also an old acquaintance of General Shen, how do you feel when you see him this time?"

The envoy is an old qualified scribe of the Changshi Mansion, who has followed Liu Yu for many years, has a sharp pen, an old eye, and is familiar with the stories in the army.

"General Shen used to be capable and sharp, and he was the kind of person who was shrewd and exposed, but this time he seems to have changed as a different person. When I arrived at his house, it was already the middle of the day, but I waited a long time to see him, and at that time he was disheveled and unkempt, and it was evident that he had just woken up. The mouth is slurred, the eyes are foggy, the mouth smells of wine, and the body is well." At this point, he stopped talking and smiled.

Wang Xiu said that you are doing things in front of Thorn Shi and Sima, and you are doing business, and you have something to say.

The messenger said that General Shen had a distinct smell of fat powder on his body.

Liu Yizhen stuck out his tongue.

Wang Xiu glanced at Wang Zhenwei and found that the latter did not answer his eyes, so he simply asked him directly:

"Does Sima Wang think that General Shen can still lead troops to attack like this?"

Wang Zhen said that drowning in wine would of course damage the spirit of the generals, but General Shen has always been brave and good at fighting, and this depression does not mean that he has completely become a coward. If the death order is really pressed down, he is forced into a corner, and he will naturally work hard. Besides, the owners of the buildings under him are all hot-blooded and strong, and they have been trained to fight very well in the past few years. With an order, General Shen would charge into battle by himself, and they would rush to kill. Not to mention anything else, Chen Song, the favorite general of the Tai Lieutenant, although he is still only a building owner at the moment, I think he is brave and resolute, and he leads the troops in a good way, which is enough to be used as a military master.

Wang Xiu said, "What do you mean?"

Wang Zhenwei arched his hand towards Liu Yizhen:

"Please give a strict order to assassinate Shi, if he wants to fight on time, he must personally lead the team, with Chen Song and other elite generals as the forward, face Helian Bi head-on, live up to the trust of the captain, and make immortal achievements. This command can be made public. At the same time, Wang Changshi could send a secret letter to warn Shen Tianzi that he must quit drinking and cheer up. Attack immediately and quickly, or you will consult the captain. Escort him back to Jiangdong Yanban. ”

Liu Yizhen nodded and said that Wang Sima had a good idea. beat him secretly, and saved him enough face on the surface.

Wang Xiu was a little hesitant. He didn't object to Wang Zhen's two-pronged idea, but he was worried that Shen Tianzi's state, even if he was forced to send troops, he might not be able to launch a "thunder strike" that he just said. After pondering for a moment, he walked to the map, pointed to the small flag representing Shen Tianzi, and then pointed to Fu Hongzhi's side.

"General Shen hopes that General Fu Hongzhi can wave his troops to respond, and I think this seems to make sense. If you want to defeat Helian in one fell swoop. A stronger force should be more certain. ”

Wang Zhenwei carefully looked at the map for a while, and said in his heart that the enemy and me were outnumbered, even if Fu Hongzhi was mobilized, the other two Xia soldiers would not take the opportunity to enter, and if they fought quickly, they would have no chance. Nodding and saying that this is okay, if there are fewer soldiers, we can annihilate this Xia army. It's just that the shape of the eyes is different from the Battle of Yaoguan, when General Fu was General Shen's military deputy. There is no obstacle to command and dispatch. Now they are of the same rank, they are both generals, and their troops are equal, after General Fu joined temporarily. If there is no unified command, there will be poor coordination on the battlefield. I'm afraid it will give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of.

Wang Xiu said that we can discuss each matter one by one, and we can temporarily designate who will control this battle.

Wang Zhen said that it was temporarily appointed. The face is not convinced, and the work is not contrived. Besides, who does Changshi think should be on whom?

Wang Xiu suddenly realized that this was a very troublesome problem. If Shen is on Fu. He was worried that Shen Tianzi's current state would lead to the incompetence of the coach and the exhaustion of the three armies; If Fu was on top of Shen, his subordinates in the past suddenly turned over his head, and he was worried that Shen would slack off because of his awkwardness, and Fu would not be able to show it because he was in the way. After struggling for a long time, I spread my hands and said that I really don't know who should control whom.

Liu Yizhen threw the knife on the table, and said that if there is anything difficult about this, it will be commanded by Wang Sima and you. You are my Sima, in charge of military affairs. Although the lieutenant did not say it explicitly, he actually carried the burden of moderation of the generals. Now that the two armies have converged, who is more qualified if you don't take command?

Wang Xiu's eyes lit up, and he looked at Wang Zhen evil eagerly.

Wang Zhenwei actually knew that this was the only feasible plan at present, and he hadn't thought about it, but when it came to Shen Tianzi, there were many entanglements. The army under his command must defend Chang'an and ensure Liu Yizhen's safety, and he cannot leave the garrison lightly. If he went to command the Shen and Fu armies, he would not be able to take a single soldier with him except for his personal soldiers. In this way, it is equivalent to an empty-handed coach falling on the heads of the two strong teams. It was Shen and Fu who shed blood and sweat and exerted their strength, and it was he who gave orders. If the battle is won, the second generals Shen and Fu will certainly have military exploits, but in the eyes of Taiwei Liu Yu, it is natural that the commander Wang Zhenwei will be ordered and commanded in a good way, so Shen Tianzi will be very unhappy, and Fu Hongzhi will not be happy. If he loses, Wang Zhenwei is certainly incompetent in command, but Shen Tianzi is also to blame, especially since he has left a handle that is addicted to alcohol and depressed. In short, this trip will not only not solve the festival between him and Shen Tianzi, but will deepen the discord.

But when I looked up at Liu Yizhen, a half-grown child, I suddenly felt that this selfishness was so shameful. Think about the first half of his life, the country is broken, the family is scattered, wandering and falling, Huai Jin holds Yu and is useless, it is difficult to survive through heaven and earth, and when it comes to the year of standing, there is no sign of standing up, if it is not for Liu Yuhui's appreciation and cultivation all the way, how can it be that in just nine years, he has gone from a staff officer all the way to the clouds, since General Zhenwu and General Long Xiang, defeated Yao Qin, raised his authority in the north and south, entered the general to conquer the general, and became the supreme commander of the Northern Jin Army second only to Liu Yizhen? Without this encounter with Liu Yu, the name of Wang Meng's grandson does not represent glory, but only shame, because a crab is not as good as a crab, and his grandson is far inferior to his ancestors. With this kind of karma, that is, the dragon gives birth to the dragon and the wind gives birth to the phoenix, in Liu Yu's own words, "it is indeed a general." Now Liu Yu's biological son is facing danger, but he is entangled in personal grievances, and he is entangled in the gains and losses of merit and crime, what is not the heart of a villain?

Shameful and courageous, abandon selfishness, and move forward.

In this case, I asked the assassin Shi to give the order, and I immediately got up and rushed to serve in front of the army.

Wang Xiu was inexplicably grateful, held his hand tightly, and said that the winter was bitter and cold, and Wang Changshi worked hard. If all the generals are like Wang Changshi, why worry about the country is not strong and the world is not peaceful.

Wang Zhenwei said that it was no problem for me to go, but there had to be one condition, that is, I had to be serious and modest, and I would not allow anyone to hinder and resist. Sima this title. It seems to be the general system of the three armies, but in fact it is a bit empty. When it comes to the real battle command, I am afraid that I will not be able to control the generals. I am willing to ask Yizhen to stab the name of the fake lieutenant. I was awarded the rank of former military governor, and I was given the exclusive power to appoint and dismiss generals, and reward and punish the three armies. If Shen Fu Zhu is guilty, although I can't kill him, I can also deal with it in a timely manner, so as not to delay the fighter.

Liu Yizhen was silent.

He understood what Wang Zhen meant evil, but he wasn't sure whether he should nod or not. My father left this pattern, naturally with his intentions, although he couldn't fully understand it. But I also vaguely understand that there is a sense of checks and balances. If Wang Zhenwei is granted the right to appoint and dismiss generals, it will naturally break this balance, and if Wang Zhenevil has a bigger plan to eliminate dissidents and unify the three armies, it will be difficult to suppress it. But if you don't agree, if you really don't move to the front and the battle collapses, Chang'an will immediately be in big trouble. I might just fold it here, and then it will be too late to regret that I shouldn't have been stingy with authorization.

Wang Xiu did not doubt Wang Zhen's motives, but he granted the right to make decisions, and such a thing could only be reasoned by Liu Yu. It's not good for others to be substituted. Wang Zhenxi's so-called "name of a fake captain" was actually to deceive the generals in front, but he was able to deceive for a while. can't deceive a lifetime, if the generals know afterwards that Wang Xiu is also an accomplice. will definitely regard himself as Wang Zhen's evil party, which is tantamount to openly turning against Shen Tianzi. If you want to make a fuss, there. This kind of deception is the best lever in itself. What's even stricter is that this matter can't be hidden from Liu Yu. This public can tolerate sloppiness in everything, but he is cautious and harsh in authority, if he knows that Wang Xiu dares to make decisions on this issue, even if he temporarily understands it out of a power change, he will hate it for the rest of his heart. If you win, you will be suspicious, and if you lose, you will take the opportunity to clean up.

Wang Zhen looked at them with a sad face, both old and young, and was excited by righteous indignation, stomped his feet, and his voice raised several steps:

"The Captain entrusted the child to us, and it has only been more than a month since he left, and look how depressed and lazy we are! As a general, he is addicted to wine and cowering, and the senzhe who is in charge of the center is reluctant to do anything, in case the overall situation is erosive, under the nest, how can there be eggs? Wang Zhen viciously asked for a machine dictatorship, in order to facilitate the war, and so on to repel the Xia army, this right can naturally be withdrawn, if I have selfish intentions, I am willing to die with ten thousand arrows through my heart! ”

Guo Xu heard it outside, and he was in a hurry, so he opened the door curtain and walked in.

Wang Xiu glared at him, and was about to say who let you in, when he heard Liu Yizhen say Brother-in-law, don't worry, we are fine here.

Guo Xu planned to withdraw, but Wang Zhenevil said that Guo Xu was good to come. He is a young Zhuang faction favorite general who is greatly appreciated and cultivated by the Taiwei, and he is loyal to the Taiwei. Yizhen also called him his brother-in-law, which was obviously trustworthy. You might as well grant Guo Xu another authority, if I serve the country loyally, he will do his best to protect my safety; If I have any strange intentions, he can dispose of me on the spot and bring my head back to my life. What do you think of that?

Guo Xu was so panicked that he waved his hand desperately, saying that this would never work.

Wang Xiu said that Wang Sima is thinking too much, why is this?

Liu Yizhen suddenly laughed:

"Look at how far we've pushed Wang Sima. Sima is loyal, and he can learn from every day. In this way, I will boldly be the lord once, and grant you the right to arbitrarily on this expedition alone, you just have to go, and I will send an urgent report to the captain at the same time, and forgive him that the old man can also be compassionate. However, Wang Changshi also had to write at the same time to explain the situation to the Taiwei, so that the Taiwei would not think that I was clever. As for his brother-in-law, he has only one task, that is, to protect Sima even if he fights for his life, Sima breaks a little skin, and we will detain him for a year, do you think this is good? ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, secretly admiring this ordinary and shapeless child. In the end, it is the flesh and blood of the captain who is like a fake, and the heart of scheming is brought by the womb.

Guo Xu silently sent Wang Zhenwei all the way to Sima Mansion.

Occasionally, someone on the side of the road would greet Wang Zhenwei in Guanzhong dialect, and the latter would answer with a smile on his face, and even stop to chat with the other party for a while. But as soon as he walked away, his face would be clouded. When he came to a junction, he turned his horse to the right, Guo Xu said that Sima had made a mistake and that we should turn left, but Wang Zhen did not answer and continued to move forward. Cross a street, go around a small bazaar, burrow through a grove of trees, and come to a small dilapidated courtyard. There is only one door left in the courtyard, and there are four words on the lintel. Wang Zhenwei tied the horse outside the door and walked in, followed by Guo Xu.

The courtyard is not big, and when you enter the door, you can see a stone incense case that looks to have fallen for many years, like a wild beast lying on its side in the wild grass, and it is no longer possible to distinguish the primary color of the stone. Directly opposite the door was the house, half of which had collapsed, the beams and pillars had rotted, and countless grasses had emerged from the ruins, all of which were yellow at this time. When the wind comes, Suo Suo whispers. There were two tall cypress trees in front of the house, and the one on the left was struck by lightning. Half of it was scorched black, and half of it looked like it was still alive. There is a statue in the middle of the room. The head and a hand were gone, and the color of the clothes on the lower half of the body remained.

Wang Zhenwei said, do you know what this place is?

Guo Xu shook his head.

This is the Han Liuhou Temple, and the memorial is to assist the Han Gaozu Liu Bang to build the country in a hundred battles of the great strategist Zhang Liang.

Guo Xu said that this ancestral temple belonged to the Han Dynasty?

The Liuhou Temple of the Han Dynasty is long gone. This was built by my grandfather Wang Meng when Fu Jian ruled the north. When I was a child, he brought a few of us brothers here and told me the story of Zhang Liang here. Liu Bang won the world, mainly relying on the "Three Masters of the Han Dynasty", in Liu Bang's own words, it was "strategizing in the curtain." Winning thousands of miles away, I am not as good as the ovary. Town the country, care for the people, give wages, and keep the grain, I am not as good as Xiao He. Even an army of millions, the battle will be won, the attack must be taken, I am not as good as Han Xin. "He gave Zhang Liang the first credit. Fu Jian admires Zhang Liang very much. He also regarded my grandfather as his Zhang Liang. However, my grandfather told me that Zhang Liang's real excellence is also what he said he had never learned in his life, and that he was smart when he should be smart. When you should be confused, you can really retire successfully. I didn't seem to understand it at the time, but now I finally understand. I am ashamed of my grandfather's hard work. I haven't learned that yet.

The tone was gloomy, as if it had changed.

The story of the three heroes of the Han family. Guo Xu has heard people say that he has always admired Han Xin the most. As for Zhang Liang. In his heart, he is a strategist who looks as good as a woman, and as for how high the strategy is, it is unknown. As for Wang Zhen's evil words, he was smart when he should be smart, he was confused when he should be confused, and he retired after success, all of them were in the clouds and confused.

The weather was half cloudy and half sunny, with yellow clouds. A few crows swept low, not intending to linger. They are all shrewd hairy feathers, knowing that there are no sacrifices here, and there is no autumn wind. The barren grass in the courtyard was gilded with gold by the slanting sun, but there was no golden atmosphere, and the breeze bent down as soon as it came. Other than that, there is only a general's indelible block, a young man's vague restlessness, and a ruined idol of an ancient sage. If there is a stay in the underworld, you should know where the good and bad luck are and where the descendants will be.

Wang Zhen was stunned for a long time, knelt down and kowtowed to the broken statue of Zhang Liang:

"Stay on the throne, if the younger generation Wang Zhenevil can break the strong enemy, this time when he comes back, he must rebuild the ancestral house, so that the descendants will continue to sacrifice for generations."

Just as he was about to get up, with a bang, one of the statue's arms fell off and smashed a cloud of smoke and dust on the ground.

It is obvious that the wind and rain have been in the wind and rain for a long time, and the stump can no longer be hung.

It's just that the timing of its drop is too subtle.

Wang Zhen's evil face is like ashes.

Guo Xu was startled, came back to his senses and stepped forward to help Wang Zhenxi, saying that it seems that Sima's words were heard by Liuhou, and he really needs a new body.

Wang Zhenwei barely squeezed out a smile, didn't say a word, turned around, turned over, turned on his horse, and flew back to the house. When I got to the door, I turned around and said to Guo Xu that you don't have to come in, give you one night to arrange things in the camp, say goodbye to your wife, and leave early tomorrow morning.

Guo Xu entrusted the affairs of the camp to the deputy building, told the madman to cheer up and obey the dispatch, and asked Xu Zhihao to order 500 elites and accompany him. When he rushed home after all this, it was already the middle of the night. He knocked on the door for a while, and the maid came out wrapped in a cotton robe and opened the door. Guo Xu entered the house lightly, and as soon as he pushed open the bedroom door, the lights in the room were already on, and the light made Xiaoqiao's eyes shine. Guo Xu said sorry to wake you up so late. Xiaoqiao said that you didn't wake me up, I don't know why, I thought you would come today, so I kept awake and waited for you, and I got up as soon as you knocked on the door.

Are you sure?

How can this be fake?

Do you look like a fox fairy as people say?

Maybe it is.

No wonder it's so smart!

What do humans and foxes give birth to?

It can't be a Hu person, right?

It's rare that you are clever, and you can't let Hu Luzheng hear this.

What if I have a daughter in my life?

You don't like your daughter?

I'm afraid my daughter will be as big and stupid as I am.

Well, this one is a bit sad.

So what to do?

You give me more thin noodles.

Why?

Giving birth to a child is white and thin.

In this way, the pig's head meat had to be stopped.

Hey, you stupid blacksmith, you've learned Karakuri.

Guo Xu greeted Xiaoqiao's colorful little fist, picked her up, carefully put her on the bed, kissed her lightly on the lips, and touched Xiaoqiao's belly. The latter laughed and said that it was not yet time to come out of his arms, and his stomach was flat.

After a little hesitation:

"Lang Zhong wants you to bear with it, wait for this period to pass"

Guo Xu said that it is not in the way, I can sleep with you in my arms.

Face to face, they inhaled each other's breath in the dark, their noses rubbing against each other. Xiao Qiao put her eyes on Guo Xu's face, and her long eyelashes made him itchy and crispy. Guo Xu scratched Xiaoqiao's nostrils with his beard, and the latter sneezed and smiled uncharacteristically.

After a long time, Guo Xu said that I would go out for a while.

Xiao Qiao didn't speak, but pillowed her head on his chest, listening to the resonance of his words.

Guo Xu said that the military situation cannot be told to the family, I can only tell you and I can come back in a month at the latest.

It's cold outside, there's ice on the road, and it's inconvenient for you, so don't go out.

Lock the door at night, and I asked the madman to send people to patrol the road more.

As long as you feel a little uncomfortable, you can quickly find Langzhong.

When I get back, will your belly bulge?

Don't worry, I'll be fine.

When I come back, you're going to have to name the child. Prepare one for each sex.

Jokes aside, you can't always eat noodles.

Pork head meat still has to be eaten.

was thinking of what to say, and his mouth was gagged by Xiaoqiao's mouth.

After the long kiss paused, Xiaoqiao said that you don't have to worry about anything, you just need to do one thing.

It's to come back alive! (To be continued......)
