"Good!" Urdon was completely moved by the beautiful scene described by Lin Shuhan, "I am writing a letter to urge my father to send troops to help in the war. It's not enough to write a letter to my father, but also to Mr. Cai Wenchou. You don't know, my father believes Mr. Cai's words the most, and although Mr. Cai is in the Bohai Sea, he always has his heart set on the big man, and he won't help the big man when he is in trouble. ”

As he spoke, Urdon couldn't wait to beckon his subordinates to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote two letters crookedly, and was about to wrap them in person, but he heard Qiu Yizhi say: "I still have a request, please bring it to Dali Khan with the prince." ”

"Please, but it doesn't hurt." Urdon immediately stopped what he was doing.

"I heard that Sister Ling, that is, the county lord of Yiran, has my descendants, this time your country sent troops south, please come over with these two to ......," Qiu Yizhi said.

Urton thought for a while, and agreed: "This is as it should be, I will add this sentence for His Highness Yi." ”

With that, he reopened the folded letter and wrote Qiu Yizhi's request at the back of the text. Although his writing is not formal and solemn, it seems that these requirements are particularly conspicuous and abrupt, but they can also be taken seriously, so Qiu Yizhi has nothing to be dissatisfied with.

In this way, more than a month passed, and things were developing more and more in the direction that Qiu Yizhi wanted to lead, and the good news came one after another.

First of all, Li Shengjie's side. He was ordered by Qiu Yizhi to no longer block the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in Zhenjiang, Jinling, and Jiangyin, but commanded his own sailors to go all the way up the river, taking advantage of the Yangtze River flood period, and moving through the Three Gorges to the junction of Bashu Road and Shanxi Road, directly blocking the power of the Shanxi Road that Zheng Xin had operated for a long time, and directly going south into the Sichuan.

Another passage from Shanxi to Guannai is on Huguang Road. This place was supposed to be guarded by General Zuo Wei Hu. However, after Wei Hu was detained by Zheng Xin, the forces here were temporarily taken over by Liu Qing. Liu Qingcai was ordinary, he could only barely gather the army, and it was difficult to separate his hands to directly support Qiu Yizhi in the capital, but he also managed to block an important passage for Zheng Xin to invade other places from Jiangnan.

On Zheng Xin's side, because Zheng Tinghang of Caoyun Yamen transported all the grain, grass and baggage stored in Jiangnan to the north in advance, and Jiangnan Province was in turmoil a year ago, it was indeed difficult to maintain the large-scale operation of more than 300,000 troops.

However, the remnants of the Lingnan Royal Mansion have not been destroyed, and they are still making waves in Quzhou, Wenzhou and other places in the south of the Yangtze River from time to time. In order to concentrate all his attention on dealing with Qiuyi, Zheng Xin could only divide his troops of 30,000 troops to Dai Luanxiang, a former general who went south under the edict of Emperor Daxing, and asked him to suppress the remnants of the Lingnan Palace.

Dai Luanxiang had a conspiracy earlier because of Qiu Yizhi, and now that Zheng Xin sent troops to come immediately, he took advantage of his high prestige in the army to gradually squeeze out the officers installed by Zheng Xin, and selected officers he trusted to supplement them, so as to control the army.

Zheng Xin is not a stupid person, he sees Dai Luanxiang's actions in his eyes, and he naturally cares very much. He originally wanted to use the method of cutting off the logistical supply of Dai Luanxiang's department to force Dai Luanxiang to hand over the military power again. Unexpectedly, Dai Luanxiang didn't look down on the little military rations allocated to him by Zheng Xin at all, but found Xu Rong, the pastor of Yuezhou Prefecture, Huang Wangang, the pastor of Suzhou Prefecture, and Zheng Tinghang, the head of Caoyun, and directly asked them for military salaries.

These people had already secretly communicated with Qiu Yizhi, and thought of a way to hand over the grain and grass under their jurisdiction to Dai Luanxiang. Especially Zheng Tinghang, with a stroke of the pen, simply allocated all the materials that had not had time to be loaded and transported to Jiangbei to Dai Luanxiang.

Zheng Xin originally had a bit of prejudice against Zheng Tinghang, and Zheng Tinghang did two major things in just one month, which caused Zheng Xin to no longer care about the filial piety of "not changing the system of the former king for three years", and immediately decided to send someone to deal with Zheng Tinghang.

Although Zheng Tinghang is a little pedantic, he also knows how to cherish life, and when he heard the news, he simply hung up the seal and ran directly to Dai Luanxiang's army. At this time, even Zheng Xin had no choice but to knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, only hoping that Dai Luanxiang, the "No. 1 general in China", just wanted to support the army to protect himself, and would not help Qiu Yizhi.

Now, however, the situation is becoming more and more urgent. After Qiu Yizhi returned to Luoyang, there was no confusion in the slightest, not only did he take the responsibility of supervising the country in a grand manner, but he actually started a new stove and set up a new monarch with the queen - this new emperor is actually Zheng Xin's own son. After that, one after another edicts against rebellion were issued in the name of the emperor, the prison and the empress dowager, most of these edicts came from the pen of "Mr. Bansong" Lin Shuhan, and the writing was flying, like a sharp blade piercing the hearts of the people, and even Zheng Xin's most trusted civil and military henchmen were shaken after reading it.

Therefore, there is the orthodoxy of the imperial court in the north and the remnants of Lingnan in the south, and the only way in front of Zheng Xin is to quickly gather troops to the north and defeat Qiu Yizhi and regain control of the capital Luoyang. As long as such an action is successful, whether Zheng Xin will be the emperor or the emperor will be the emperor at that time is just a matter of his own words.

At this time, Li Shengjie's fleet, which was originally blockaded in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, suddenly traced its westward advance, although it made it difficult for Zheng Xin's army in Shanshan Province to advance eastward to join the war, but it opened the way for the army of Jiangnan Province to cross the river to the north.

Zheng Xin also knew that the relationship between Li Shengjie and Qiu Yi was extraordinary, and his move must have been instructed by Qiu Yizhi, which was undoubtedly a trap. However, Zheng Xin believed that he had more than 200,000 troops in Jiangnan Province, and all of them were elite troops; Although Qiu Yizhi was in the center of the imperial court, the army that could be mobilized and usable was only fifty or sixty thousand. His own soldiers and horses are several times that of Qiu Yizhi, which makes Zheng Xin feel that this risk is quite risky.

So Zheng Xin specially found Zheng Sen, the second brother who was quite familiar with the art of war and mastered the Youyan cavalry, to discuss the matter of going north to attack Qiu Yizhi.

Although Zheng Sen was a little dull, at this time he finally came back to his senses and realized that it was not the righteous brother Qiu Yizhi who committed the heinous crime, but the eldest brother Zheng Xin who stood in front of him with dignity, so he asked him to let go of all his delusions on the spot, so he asked the Empress Dowager to take the blame.

That Zheng Sen is a straight person, he has no scruples when he talks to Zheng Xin, and he says a few words quite heavy and tough, which provokes Zheng Xin's anger. Zheng Xin was furious, and immediately ordered Zheng Sen to be imprisoned left and right. But he didn't expect Zheng Xinping to be very popular, after he was imprisoned, generals at all levels continued to visit and comfort, and there were more people gathered, and a banquet was held in the small courtyard of Zheng Sen under house arrest.

This is Zheng Xin's big taboo again, he saw that Zheng Sen was getting fatter and stronger in the past few days after being imprisoned, so he was ruthless, found a Langzhong in the south of the Yangtze River, and prescribed a few laxatives mixed with the meals sent in every day, hoping that Zheng Sen would have a serious illness after eating, so that he could stop for a few days. But I didn't expect that this Lang Zhong didn't take it lightly, Zheng Sen took the laxative, and after taking the laxative, he was like the Yangtze River and the Yellow River for thousands of miles, and he was a brave general, but he died like this.

As soon as this incident came out, Jiang Nan was in an uproar, and the spearhead was all pointed at Zheng Xin, accusing him of poisoning his younger brother. Especially Zheng Hua, the king of Heluo, who came to Jiangnan with his imperial brother, suddenly remembered that he was the elder of Zheng Xin and Zheng Sen, and he couldn't help but say something at this moment. Zheng Xin was unreasonable, and he couldn't withstand Zheng Hua's questioning, so he simply didn't do anything, and imprisoned his own uncle.

After doing such a thing, the hearts of Zheng Xin's side were even more disheartened, and he even heard that someone wanted to rescue Zheng Gui, the king of Lingnan, who was imprisoned by the old emperor Zheng Rong, and his two sons, and regain the title of the world.

Zheng Xin has always known that among his uncles, Zheng Hua is an idle prince with no ambitions, but Zheng Gui is bent on becoming the emperor, and Zheng Gui's talent, prestige, and even seniority are not comparable to him.

So Zheng Xin discussed with a few strategists around him, and suddenly announced to the whole world that Emperor Zheng Rong was killed by Qiu Yizhi, and concocted a testament to the throne, saying that he wanted to pass on the throne to his eldest son Zheng Xin.

In this way, Zheng Gui, the king of Lingnan, did not die in the hands of the emperor's brother Zheng Rong, nor did he die in the hands of the resourceful Qiu Yi, but he was involved in the battle for the next generation.

If Zheng Xin had taken out these things a month earlier, then his document, which was full of loopholes, might still be able to confuse people's hearts. However, Qiu Yizhi was the first to attack, the text was also issued, the emperor was established, and the capital was also occupied, making Zheng Xin's actions look like he was forced step by step, and made a helpless move.

Akiyi's side is not a fuel-efficient lamp either.

Zheng Xin's fabricated edict of the Daxing Emperor had just reached the capital, and before it was overnight, Lin Shuhan, the "half-pine layman" under Qiu Yizhi, wrote a notice with a stroke of the pen, and ordered his book office to copy hundreds of copies overnight, and use the post station to send it to the world. Lin Shuhan is worthy of being the head of the Jiangnan scribes, and his proclamation refuted Zheng Xin's so-called "edict" word by word, and even when Zheng Xin read it in his hand, his face was flushed with shame.

However, Zheng Xin's military preparations were not moved, the text was carried out in advance, and the troops were not divided into winners and losers, and the pen battle could not be defeated. So he gathered his literati and read Lin Shuhan's article carefully, and he had to find a fork in it to refute it.

Unexpectedly, Lin Shuhan's handwriting was not only brilliant, but also extremely logical, and the "literary courage" under Zheng Xin studied for a whole day, and they couldn't pick out half of the words that could attack. So they could only find another way and co-wrote a document, avoiding the important and trivial, only saying that Qiu Yizhi was a foreign surname who tried to usurp the throne and seize power, and wanted to usurp the throne of the Han Dynasty.

After Lin Shuhan saw this proclamation, he was not relentless, and he also argued on the basis of reason, and in a blink of an eye, he drafted a rebuttal proclamation, and after a brief review by Qiu Yizhi, it was made clear to the world.
