Chapter 196: Zhou Gong Fears the Day of Rumors (Chapter 3)
War is never achieved overnight, every battle must be fully prepared, and whichever side is well prepared, which side has a greater chance of victory.
Daxingcheng is rich in the world, has the world's largest financial resources, the largest industrial strength, and the radiation range of Daxingcheng can reach the entire Guanzhong region, and even the Sichuan-Shu region has become the economic vassal of Daxingcheng.
With its strong strength, Daxingcheng took the lead in preparing for war.
At the end of May, Daxingcheng successively dispatched troops and generals, which attracted the attention of the people of the world, and all parties in Daxingcheng were densely spies and inquired about the trend.
"What, the soldiers are divided into three ways." Soon the news came out and the world shook.
"Yes, it's just that the soldiers are divided into three ways." In a restaurant, a young scribe said triumphantly.
"That's not right! According to His Royal Highness the Acting King's usual generosity, it should be a heavy punch! Someone who thinks he understands Yang Yoo's style wondered.
"What the hell are the three roads!" Someone asked.
"That's it! What about the three roads? Many people gathered and asked.
"The first way is that Pang Yu, the general of the prison gate, led 20,000 soldiers to Huo Shiju, a sloppy general, led 2,000 special bandit troops to rescue Luoyang, it is said that this time the leader of the troops was ordered by the emperor himself, and I believe that this attack will definitely solve the siege of Luoyang." The young scribe said confidently.
Everyone nodded and took the initiative to put the war outside Jingzhao County, which is the style of Daxing City.
Some people also doubted: "It's impossible, the 200,000 troops in Luoyang City can't defeat Li Mi, can 22,000 soldiers and horses do it!" ”
As soon as the man's voice fell, he immediately realized that he had provoked the anger of the people. All eyes on him.
"Can those waste firewood soldiers in Luoyang be compared with the soldiers and horses in Daxing City? Our soldiers in Daxing City are trained with a lot of money, Guanzhong Xiaoguo is brave and good at fighting, Pang Yu has also quelled Sun Hua's rebellion, and the special bandit suppression force is famous all over the world, specializing in exterminating Li Mi, a thief. ”
"Yes." At present, the people of Daxingcheng are full of confidence in the officers and soldiers.
"What about the second way!" Five or six more people gathered over and asked eagerly.
The scribe in Tsing Yi took a sip of wine proudly and said: "The second way, that is even bigger, the general of the Zuo Xiao cavalry guard, Qu Tutong Qu, personally led 30,000 passes in Xiaoguo. Plus 20,000 recruits. Attack Li Yuan. ”
"Okay, if General Qu goes out in person, Li Yuan will definitely not be able to get benefits." Everyone in the restaurant said excitedly.
"What about the third way, his origin must be even greater! Could it be that His Royal Highness the Acting King personally went out on the expedition! Everyone excitedly said.
"Ugh!" The Tsing Yi scribe said: "It seems that His Royal Highness the Acting King is preparing to go out in person." As a result, all the courtiers objected. As a last resort. Let a general named Li Jing lead 2,000 soldiers and horses to conquer Li Xiuning, who has recently made a big splash in Fufeng County. ”
"It's a pity, how nice it would be if His Royal Highness the Acting King went out in person!" Everyone sighed.
"Who is Li Jing?" Someone wondered.
"That's it! I haven't heard of it! The crowd answered.
It is said that he was the guard general of Ma Yi and came to Daxing City to denounce Li Yuan's rebellion. was favored by His Royal Highness the Acting King. "The scribe in Tsing Yi really knows it in detail, and he can even tell Li Jing's origin.
"It's just a nobody, how could His Royal Highness the Acting King hand over the world-famous special bandit suppression force to him to lead!" Someone said sourly, very envious of Li Jing's good luck.
"Now it's a nobody, and it won't be in a few days, His Royal Highness the Acting King will see which one of the people is missing, imagine Du Ruhui of the Disaster Relief Division, and Fang Xuanling of the Yan'an War." Someone retorted.
"But it's okay to be a nobody, Li Xiuning is just a weak woman, even if I lead the special bandit force, I can exterminate them." A young man shouted.
"You just blow it, Li Xiu would rather be fierce, now the entire Fufeng County is restless, and Fufeng is too guarded by Dou Fang is already in a hurry." The bystander retorted.
"Hahaha." Now everyone in the restaurant laughed, no one took Li Xiuning seriously, a woman led the troops to rebel, it was a joke, she thought she was Mulan!
"Now that the whole country is in turmoil, only Jingzhao County is as stable as Mount Tai, and we can serve the country today thanks to the wisdom of His Royal Highness the Acting King and the loyalty of the princes of the court." An old man dressed as a showman shouted.
Everyone nodded, and many people began to chant Nioh and his loyal ministers loudly.
"Humph!" A cold snort came out, which was particularly harsh.
Everyone looked around and found that it was the Tsing Yi scribe who broke the news just now.
"Brother, what do you think?" The old man said dissatisfiedly, he felt that this Tsing Yi scribe was very rude.
"I have no objection to saying thank you to His Royal Highness the Acting King, but thank you to the princes of the court, is it a bit too early for Your Excellency to say." The Tsing Yi scribe said disdainfully.
"What do you mean?" Everyone was shocked, and they all stared at the scribe in Tsing Yi.
"From a distance, Yang Xuangan and Li Mi back then, and more recently, Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, Liang Shidu, the general of Yingyanglang, Xue Ju, the captain of Jincheng, and Li Liang of Hexi, when there was no rebellion, which one was not loyal to the country, and how different it was from the princes of the court." The Tsing Yi scribe snorted coldly.
There was silence for a while, yes! People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, who knows what others think, if that position is placed in front of them, who can guarantee that they will not be moved.
"Duke Zhou was afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the time. Xiang Zhi died at the beginning, who knows the truth of his life? The scribe in Tsing Yi sang loudly, slowly walked out of the restaurant and disappeared into the crowd.
After a long time, everyone in the restaurant suddenly realized.
"That is, who can tell the difference between a traitor?"
"It is said that the Shangshu of the Criminal Department has not been in court for more than ten consecutive days, so I don't want to protect myself!" Someone muttered something in a whisper.
"I heard that Li Yuan has sent a secret messenger who is connecting with the Guanzhong family."
"Now the emperor is far away in Jiangdu, Luoyang and Daxingcheng are just two little princes to take in, the ministers are strong and the lords are weak!"
"I've heard ...... too"
All of a sudden, everyone was talking.
Soon, this poem spread throughout Daxing City, and spread throughout the Guanzhong region at a very fast speed.
All those who heard this poem thought about the cases of Yang Xuangan and Li Yuan, and they all felt it. People are separated from their stomachs, and who can know what others think in their hearts!
Of course, this secret can't be hidden from the officials of Daxing Palace, but these old foxes are silent and work as usual.
"Master Li!"
"Lord Bone!"
"General Yin!"
"General Qu!"
The respectful salutations were as usual, but everyone noticed that there was always a pair of eyes staring behind them.
But in private, everyone acts cautiously, strictly observing etiquette in every word and deed, lest a small mistake cause others to misunderstand.
Among all the rebellions, the military generals were the most, and this kind of Yin Shishi and Qu Tutong felt the most profoundly.
This made the two quite uncomfortable. Qu Tutong couldn't wait to immediately send troops to Taiyuan. Get out of the whirlpool of Daxing City.
Guard.
Ten famous doctors in the world, including the imperial physician Ling Shibu, the Zhen brothers, and Pang Shan, took turns to come to Wei Wensheng's side to take the pulse, and then all the famous doctors got together to discuss and cautiously prescribed the medicine.
"Wei Shangshu is not in trouble, but he is too old. and too much on state affairs. Weakness. Take some medicine and rest for a while. Shi Bu handed the prescription in his hand to Wei Du.
"Thank you, the doctors!" Wei Du bowed and thanked him.
These are all famous doctors in the world, and it is not easy to hire one. Where can there be ten famous doctors gathered in Weifu now, all this still has to be stained with Yang Yu's light. If it weren't for Yang Yu's revision of the Compendium of Materia Medica, how could so many famous doctors gather.
The ten of them represented the highest medical skills at that time, and with their joint diagnosis and treatment, Wei Wensheng had a great chance of survival.
Wei Wensheng is the guarantee of the glory and wealth of the Wei Mansion, as long as Wei Wensheng is alive for one day, the glory and wealth of the Wei Mansion will be one more day, and of course Wei Du has to thank these miracle doctors.
"Gongzi Wei is polite, the old man and the others are deeply favored by His Royal Highness the Acting King, and they can participate in the revision of this epic medical book, this little thing is really not enough to repay His Royal Highness the Acting King." Imperial Physician Ling Shibu said modestly.
Of course, he knew about the emotional entanglement between Yang Yu and Wei Mingyue, and deliberately pulled Yang Yun.
"Wei Du would like to thank His Royal Highness the Acting King for his great kindness." Wei Du replied embarrassedly, and the corner of his eyes couldn't help but aim at a pretty figure standing in the side hall.
Wei Mingyue was very proud in her heart, and on behalf of Wang Yang Yun, she sent ten famous doctors to treat Wei Wensheng, which made Wei Mingyue's heart very warm, and she couldn't help but guess in her heart that Yang Yu must have done it for her.
Shi Bu simply explained a few precautions, and then led the famous doctors to leave.
"It's all gone! Father is fine. Wei Du commanded.
"Yes!" The Wei family members have dispersed.
After everyone left, Wei Du returned to Wei Wensheng's room.
"What's going on in the court these days?" On the bed, Wei Wensheng struggled to get up and asked.
Wei Du hurriedly stepped forward to help Wei Wensheng and let him lean on the pillow.
"His Royal Highness recruited 100,000 troops, and summoned Li Jing, the Cheng of Mayi County, when he inspected the Ministry of Industry, and appointed Li Jing to lead 2,000 special bandit soldiers to quell Li Xiuning's rebellion."
"Li Jing! Han Baohu's nephew, His Royal Highness the Acting King has good eyesight. Wei Wensheng's eyes flashed when he heard Li Jing's name.
"Ahh Wei Du was taken aback, he thought that Li Jing was just a nobody, a lucky person, how did he know that Li Jing still had such a strong background.
"This Li Jing is very powerful!" Wei Du couldn't help but ask.
"It's enough to pacify Li Xiuning!" Wei Wen ascended.
Wei Du was a little disapproving, what was there to praise for calming Li Xiuning, a weak woman.
"Don't underestimate Li Xiuning, she is a woman who can make the originally stable Fufeng County restless, and she can grow stronger in the continuous encirclement and suppression, she can be described as a heroine among women, Li Yuan gave birth to a good daughter!." Wei Wensheng praised.
Immediately, when he saw his son, who was still confused, he was a little discouraged. It is said that Li Yuan's sons are also dragons and phoenixes, but their children are very mediocre.
"There is another rumor...... "Wei Du wanted to say and stopped.
"Say!" Wei Wensheng shouted.
Wei Du Zhiwu for a long time, and finally said it.
"Duke Zhou was afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the time. Xiang Zhi died at the beginning, who knows the truth of his life? Wei Wensheng sat up suddenly.
"Good! Good! Good! Wei Wensheng said hello three times in a row.
The next day, Wei Wensheng took his illness to participate in the government, and asked His Royal Highness the Acting King for advice three times a day.
Subsequently, the monarch and the ministers agreed on the date for the dispatch of the three-way army, swore to quell the rebellion, and waited for the emperor to enter the customs. (To be continued......)
