Chapter Ninety-Six: The Toilet General
In Weizhou, in the palace of the King of Wei, which was converted from the Jiedu Embassy, a red-robed official was hurriedly walking into the Yin'an Palace, which had been converted from the council hall.
"His Royal Highness the King of Wei, the front line has come to report, General Shi Xiancheng found that the Wuzhong Yin Department is in, it is"
Tian Ji'an, dressed in a purple robe and wearing a crown facing the sky, was sitting on the throne with his eyes closed and letting the maid massage his temples. In addition, the hall was very large, which made the officials who had just come in suddenly feel a cool air rushing to their chests, and they were a little uncomfortable. Tian Ji'an, who was recuperating his spirits, also seemed to feel the heat brought in by the visitor, opened his eyes, and asked with a slight dissatisfaction:
"What's wrong, Dong Shao? Slurred? ”
Dong Shaodao:
"General Shi reported that the Wuzhong Yin Department was busy building toilets in the camp."
Tian Ji'an sat up straight suddenly, the maid behind him was caught off guard, her hand pulled to Tian Ji'an's ear, and she was so frightened that she quickly knelt on the ground, trembling. Tian Ji'an glanced at her, but he didn't bother to punish him, he just asked in surprise:
"What did you say?"
Dong Shao repeated:
"Wu Chongyin is directing the soldiers to repair the latrines in the camp."
Tian Ji'an was stunned there, as if he didn't believe his ears, and there was an expression on his face that seemed to be smiling, and then he suddenly laughed and said:
"Wu Chongyin is known as a famous general, why does he specialize in building cities and repairing houses?"
Since the army pressed the Weibo border, Wu Chongyin was only busy building cities and building three castles, but he only fought a dozen or so battles with Shi Xiancheng, and he still won and lost each other, and he didn't want to make progress at all. So Tian Ji'an has this to say. Tian Ji'an said:
"The widow thinks that Wu Chongyin is the general of the city, but now it seems that he is simply the general of the toilet building!"
Dong Shaodao:
"In His Royal Highness the King of Wei's words, the ministers thought that the King of Wei could order this sentence to be given to General Shi, and asked him to make a banner and write 'General Toilet Building', and Wu Chongyin saw that it was like thunder."
Tian Ji'an laughed:
"Sure enough, it's a good plan. But these are small paths after all. Wu Chongyin has the reputation of a famous general, why would he do some small things that men despise? Is there an ulterior motive in this? ”
Dong Shaodao:
"According to General Shi, Wu Chongyin built the city to confront our army, and the toilet was built on Luoyang's orders. It is said that this was an order given by the son of the day himself. ”
"That's weird."
Tian Ji'an touched the short mustache on his upper lip, and couldn't think of why. Just the way:
"There must be a mystery in this, it stands to reason that people who don't like the princes of the Beacon Fire Show today would give such a strange order. Spies are to be ordered to scrutinize. Wu Chongyin confronted our army, but he was not busy attacking, obviously wanting to drag our army with heavy troops and prevent our army from going south to rescue Li Shidao. However, Fan Xichao on the northern front attacked very fiercely, and He Jintao had lost more than ten battles in a row, losing tens of thousands of soldiers. From this point of view, Wu Chongyin seems to be the most important element to confuse our army, and he is only afraid of big moves at the bottom. In this way, the matter of sending troops to rescue Yunzhou will be affected. ”
Dong Shao is just a affairs officer, not a strategist, where did he want to get so far-reaching, he just said to Tian Ji'an:
"The king is wise."
Tian Ji'an knew that he couldn't get any useful advice from Dong Shao, so he ordered:
"Shi Xiancheng is good, he can notice such a subsection, and he will be rewarded with an order. This matter still needs to be looked at again, and the civil and military officials in Weizhou can go to the palace for a meeting. ”
After Dong Shao retreated, Tian Ji'an looked at the maid who was kneeling on the ground trembling, and without saying a word, he walked slowly out of the door. The attendants behind him hurriedly followed. The maid who was kneeling on the ground didn't dare to come out. Another maid pulled her and said:
"Get up. Your fate is good, the king is not in a bad mood today. ”
The maid said with a crying voice:
"I'm so scared that I don't have any strength anymore, and I can't get up again."
Tian Ji'an walked out of the Yin'an Palace, although he had an umbrella to cover his head, but the scorching sun still made him feel a little dizzy, and his body shook a few times involuntarily. The attendant behind him hurriedly stepped forward to support Tian Ji'an. Call:
"King!"
Tian Ji'an said:
"The widow has nothing to do, he was just washed away by the heat, and later he will boil a decoction of Doctor Zhang's prescription."
In fact, Tian Ji'an was not swept away by the heat, but had something in his heart. The news of Li Shidao's fiasco in Dong'e has reached Weizhou, and the twelve prefectures of Ziqing and Pinglu, which seemed to be vast half a year ago, are now less than two prefectures, which can't help but make Tian Ji'an very frightened. If Ziqing is defeated, the soldiers of the imperial court will definitely point to Weizhou, how can the land of only six states resist the more than 300,000 male soldiers of the imperial court at that time? At this time, Tian Ji'an suddenly found that there was no one around him who could be discussed, and most of these people under him were good at affairs and lacked vision, which couldn't help but remind Tian Ji'an of Tan Zhong, the general of Youzhou who performed amazingly in several towns last year.
"The eldest father and father tried their best to flatten the family with foreign surnames, and there was no great sage in the town, although it was easy to control, but there was no one with foresight in case of trouble. Those who come to study are not on the side of the widow. ”
Tian Ji'an couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face. If he didn't save Li Shidao, Wei Bo would be besieged from all sides, and he would send troops to save Li Shidao, but he was afraid that Shi Xiancheng would not be able to resist Wu Chongyin.
After walking into the shade, Tian Ji'an suddenly asked out loud:
"How is Uncle Xing's health?"
The attendant didn't react for a moment, and after being stunned for a while, he remembered that the uncle Xing that Tian Ji'an asked was Tian Xing, who was the governor of Xiangzhou. A few years ago, Tian Ji'an was suspicious of Tian Xing, why did he remember it now? These people are all snobs, how do they know what happened to a disadvantaged Tian clan? Fortunately, Tian Ji'an didn't really expect these people to know.
"Father!"
In the Xiangzhou Governor's Mansion, Tian Bubi stood respectfully behind Tian Xing, who was painting, and couldn't help but have a trace of worry on his face. Since the return of the Son of Heaven, Tian Xing is still obsessed with painting every day, and seems to have completely forgotten his promise to the Son of Heaven. Seeing that the defeat of Yunzhou is imminent, Wei Bo is about to face several soldiers, if he can't control Wei Bo by then, how to explain to the imperial court? Turning one's back on the clan and rebelling before the battle doesn't seem to be the work of benevolence.
Tian Xing didn't notice Tian Bu's worries at all, his attention was still focused on the painting in front of him, and he stopped from time to time to look at it for a while, and then made up for it. Tian Bu couldn't help it, and said again:
"Father!"
Tian Xing was still not in a hurry, and only after walking a few strokes did he put the pen down, held his wrist, and said:
"Before learning Danqing, the old man thought that only lifting a knife and drawing a bow would consume physical strength, but now the more he indulges in this way, the more he finds that everything must be concentrated, and there is no energy to be concentrated. Bu'er, let's see how this painting of the father is. ”
The co-author father already knew that he was back. Tian Bu reluctantly walked to the front of the case, and when he saw that Tian Xing painted a picture of a lady again, he couldn't help but be even more dissatisfied, and said in his mouth:
"My father's painting skills have improved, and the child admires them."
Tian Xing laughed, didn't seem to hear the perfunctory and dissatisfied in Tian Bu's words, and said:
"My father also thinks that the painting is getting better and better now, and over time, my father will definitely be able to become a big family!"
Tian Bu finally couldn't help it and said:
"Father, painter, carving insect skills, the child doesn't know why the father attaches so much importance to learning painting, and doesn't worry about more important military affairs."
Where did Tian Xing not know what Tian Bu was thinking? Leave the painting on the table, press it with a paperweight, turn it to Tian and preach:
"How many times have I told you to calm down, but you just don't listen. Non-indifferent and unambitious, non-tranquil and far-reaching, Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng's testament is the most reasonable and clear, you have to refer to it carefully. You don't stay in the army, what do you do when you come home? ”
Tian Evangelism:
"Doesn't my father know? Li Shidao is already in danger. As soon as Yunzhou is destroyed, the imperial army will cross the river under the leadership of Chen Guogong and Liangguo Gong, how will my father and son deal with themselves at that time? ”
Tian Xingdao:
"You were worried about this? The city of Yunzhou is steep and deep, where can it be easily broken, and when Yunzhou is captured, the veterans of the imperial court division are tired, even if they cross the river, they are the end of the strong crossbow and cannot wear Lu Min. Even if Chen Guogong and Liang Guogong are good generals, they are not enough. What are you worried about? If you want to worry, you have to worry about whether He Jintao can stop Fan Xianggong. ”
Tian Evangelism:
This kid knows that He Jintao is good at generals, but he lacks experience, and he must not be the opponent of the old and spicy Fan Xianggong. Shi Xiancheng is so happy, but he is not resolute enough, and it is not enough to shake Wu Chongyin. What the child is worried about is that the father has forgotten how he promised Mr. Huang in the first place. ”
This Mr. Huang is naturally Li Yu. Tian Xing sighed:
"You still can't help it. Do you want to know why your father doesn't care about the war in Ziqing, but worries about Shi Xiancheng and He Jintao? Do you know that only Shi Xiancheng and He Jintao can't stop Wu Chongyin and Fan Xianggong, and only when they are fathers can they have a chance to make a comeback, and our Tian clan can be saved. Only when Shi Xiancheng and He Jintao fail miserably, will the imperial court really rest assured of me Wei Bo! ”
A hint of discoloration flashed in Tian Bu's eyes. Tian Xingdao:
"Do you know that the feudal town is powerful, and it is a problem for the court?"
