January 13.

The battle report came.

The forbidden army led by Liu Yan has swept away the rebellion of Rongzhou Thorn Shi Ma Xicao and Yizhou Thorn Shi Ma Xisheng, Ma Xicao and Ma Xisheng were captured alive, annihilating more than 3,000 rebels, capturing more than 4,000 people, and the rest were scattered. Please advise on what to do with Ma Xicao, Ma Xisheng and the captives?

Ma has been operating Chudi for decades and has deep roots. Leaving Ma Xiguang without killing has been gracious. After all, it is a generation of national masters, and Baili Wuji hopes that this can become a good beginning in the future. But the Ma clan's power must be eliminated, otherwise there will never be a peaceful day in the Chu State.

As a result, Baili Wuji replied to the letter, and all the rebel prisoners were replenished to serve hard labor in the official road widening team from Tanzhou to Yanzhou, which was under construction. As for the disposal of Ma Xicao and Ma Xisheng, there is one word - kill. After the deportation of the prisoners, the division returned to Shitanzhou.

January 14.

The battle report came.

Zhou Xingfeng's troops swept away the rebellion of Yongzhou Thorn Shi Ma Xichong, Daozhou Thorn Shi Ma Xineng, Lianzhou Thorn Shi Ma Xiyin, and Guiyang Supervisor Shi Wu Hong, Ma Xichong, Ma Xineng, Ma Xiyin, and Wu Hong were all killed, annihilating more than 4,000 rebels, capturing more than 8,000 people, and the rest were scattered. How do I handle my request?

Baili Wuji replied that all the rebel prisoners were replenished to serve hard labor in the widening team of the official road from Tanzhou to Shaozhou, which was under construction. After the deportation of the prisoners, the division returned to Shitanzhou.

A battle report came from Yunyang's headquarters.

The army had reached the outskirts of Quzhou and camped thirty times, but had not encountered any attack. Wait for the order to act.

Baili Wuji replied, and the order was the same as before.

On the fifteenth day of the first month, the Lantern Festival.

The king of Chu, Baili Wuji, ordered Liang Zhen to be the prince of the country, and Sun Guangxian, the former secretary of the Nanping Palace, was appointed as the governor of the state of Chu.

At the same time, martial law in Gangneung Province was lifted.

People are allowed to play and celebrate in the streets.

Night falls.

Gangneung Palace, backyard garden.

Baili Wuji set up a banquet to invite Liang Zhen, Gao Congzhen, Sun Guangxian, and Gao Baomian to accompany Gao Baozheng and Sun Shixu.

Three rounds of drinking.

Baili Wuji asked Sun Guangxian: "Did Sun Gong directly contact Zhang Ye of Shu that day?" ”

Sun Guangxian looked a little embarrassed.

Baili Wuji waved his hand gently: "Sun Gong doesn't need to disturb himself, the things of the day are his own masters." Now he just wants to know the real situation of Lu Dao, so as to make reasonable arrangements for the Yunyang Department that is now under Quzhou City. ”

Sun Guangxian slowly calmed down.

According to Gao Baorong, after the king went south to destroy Chu, Gao Baorong failed to assassinate him, so he contacted Zhao Jiliang of Shu State. After Zhao Jiliang made arrangements, Zhang Ye contacted Gao Baorong. After that, the former king of Nanping died unexpectedly, and he was embarrassed, and he didn't know that Gao Baorong's dog thief had destroyed Tianliang, so he gave him advice. contacted Peng Shichou in Xizhou and the Ma brothers in various places, instigated this rebellion, and asked the king to punish the crime. ”

"So-and-so has already said, forgive you not guilty. In the future, Sun Gong is not allowed to mention it again. ”

"King Xie. A certain obedience. ”

"Duke Xu, according to what Duke Sun said, this time Zhang Ye attacked Chu, Emperor Shu should be in the dark, what do you think?" Because Liang Zhen was here, he was afraid that the title of this gentleman would be confused, so Baili Wuji temporarily changed his name to Xu Shiming as Xu Gong.

"Hmm....... I thought that the Emperor of Shu was probably unaware, Zhao Jiliang was the minister of the former Emperor of Shu, and he had great authority in his hands, and he colluded with a group of old ministers, so the deception may not be impossible to do, but the risk is really too great, isn't he afraid of being discovered by the Emperor of Shu? ”

Baili Wuji turned to Liang Zhen: "What do you have to say, sir?" ”

Liang Zhen smiled and said: "Ziqing already has a dream and Meng Wen, and the teacher is already old and decayed, where did he come from to teach?" But I'm happy today, so I'm not ashamed to say a few words. ”

"Liang Gong is polite." Xu Shiming and Sun Guangxian got up at the same time and saluted Liang Zhen.

Liang Zhen waved his hand and motioned for the two to sit down.

"Everything in the world can be regarded as a transaction, and if it is a transaction, there must be profits and losses. Whether to do it or not, everyone has their own opinions, as Mengde said, it is very risky to deceive the Shu Emperor, Zhao Jiliang does not do it, it depends on whether he thinks it is worth it. ”

"What Mr. said is very true, just like Wuji now, whether he can attack Quzhou or not, it is not worth it."

Liang Zhen looked at Baili Wuji with appreciation, this kid was able to get through when he was young.

Therefore, regardless of whether this matter is related to Emperor Shu or not, Wuji must think that it is implicated. Do you think so, sir? ”

Even if Emperor Shu didn't, the was in his crotch, and it was difficult to tell if he had a mouth. Baili Wuji thought so in his heart, but in front of all the teachers and commanders, he was at the banquet, and he didn't dare to be presumptuous.

Liang Zhen nodded in goodness.

Xu Shiming and Sun Guangxian seem to understand but don't understand.

Liang Zhen didn't want to say anything, and he didn't bother to explain.

Baili Wuji said to Xu Shiming and Sun Guangxian: "Why do you want to believe that the emperor of Shu has nothing to do with this incident. The state of Chu is not as good as Gyeongju, and Gyeongju can stand alone in the cracks, but the state of Chu cannot. The so-called tree is a big move, and today's Chu State already has Gyeongju and Jingnan. Therefore, the emperor of Shu is respected, one can be relied on, and the other is good under the big tree. As for why he wants to believe in the emperor of Shu has nothing to do with this incident. That is, the state of Chu should retain the right to hold accountable for this incident, and at any time, if the interests of the state of Chu require it, it can use this matter as an excuse at any time to hold the state of Shu accountable. Therefore, as the king of Chu, he must not believe that this incident has nothing to do with Shu. Mr. thinks Mowgli is right? ”

Xu Shiming and Sun Guangxian were stunned.

Liang Zhen nodded and said: "Ziqing remember, don't be in a hurry, the affairs of the Southern Han Dynasty need opportunities, if the opportunity comes, then decisively go south, if the opportunity does not come, you must not be reckless." ”

"Mowgli remembers the teachings of Mr."

Baili Wuji himself is also reflecting, if last year's southern expedition was a year or two later, maybe his parents would not die, and maybe Baili Yi would not ......die. There are no ifs in the world, and there is no regret medicine.

"Duke Xu, by you to catch the pen, drafted a document in the name of the state of Chu to write the world, reprimanded the state of Shu for instructing Wuxin Jiedu to make Zhang Ye attack the vassal state for no reason. Words can be intense, but the Shu Emperor must also be careful with his words, and try to push the blame on Zhang Ye. ”

"Duke Sun, in the name of the king of Nanping, you drafted an excerpt, requesting to surrender to the prince of Nanping, for the history of Jingnan, and the three states of Jingnan were merged into the state of Chu. History of high thorns, can there be objections? ”

"King Xie Chu's grace has preserved the entire Gao clan, how dare Bao Mian have objections."

"This is very good, as long as the Gao family does not rebel, Jingnan Sanzhou is the foundation of the Gao family."

"The great grace of King Xie Chu."

Baili Wuji turned to Liang Zhen and said, "Sir, Wuji will return to Tanzhou tomorrow, Mr. is already the Duke of Great Chu, why don't you leave for Tanzhou with Wuji?" ”

"Ziqing doesn't have to worry about old decay, old decay has been in Gangneung for decades, although he is not from Gangneung, he is better than Gangneung. If you don't go, let the old man stay in Gangneung. ”

Seeing that Liang Zhen had made up his mind, Baili Wuji was no longer reluctant.
