"Have you all heard about the matter of Zhendonghou?"

The news of Zhendong Hou's havoc in the Jinluan Palace was like having wings, and it spread throughout the entire Jingshi within a day.

"Yes, yes."

The crowd of people sitting around the large table in the private room of this brothel were also in high spirits when they mentioned it, and they had already discussed this shocking news with acquaintances more or less before they came to this party.

It was none other than Hou Xun's son, Hou Fangyu, one of the four sons of Donglin. After his father was imprisoned by the imperial court, Hou Fangyu was not good at returning to Jiangnan alone, and he was afraid that he would be blamed for being unfilial - he did not serve his father by the side of the disaster. Therefore, in the past few months, Hou Fangyu had no choice but to stay in Jingshi, and lingered with Donglin Junxiu every day.

"A thief comes like a comb, a soldier comes like a grate, and an official comes like a shaving," a round-faced girl sitting next to Hou Fangyu said softly: "What Huang Hou said should be given is right, right?" ”

"So you know the beauty." Everyone laughed together, and the good deeds asked, "What do you think, tell me quickly." ”

"The Marquis of Zhendong is a great loyal minister, and his words are contrary."

"I didn't expect that the girl in this courtyard actually had this kind of knowledge," a Donglin disciple nodded with a smile, and said to the girl: "Zhendong Hou's old problem has been committed again," Zhuobian's people looked at Hou Fangyu one after another, and many people still had a teasing meaning on their faces: "At that time, Zhendong Hou was mainly unfavorable to Ling Zun." ”

"Yes, it really made me anxious at that time," Hou Fangyu pinched the face of the girl next to him and sighed: "In those days, I saw that these eyebrows had lost their color. ”

"I heard that Chen Yuanfu and Wei Ge Lao fainted on the spot," another Donglin scholar described the chaos he heard about, and finally the emperor also cried, the cabinet even cried, and the Wushu military officials all cried like tears: "There is also the imperial history on the spot to impeach Huang Hou for having the ambition to be reckless, and the heart of disobedience is obvious, and he wants the emperor to quickly send a horse to put Huang Hou in prison." ”

"These imperial histories, that is, the courage to impeach Huang Hou, if Cao Mang is really replaced, they guarantee that they will not even dare to breathe through the atmosphere." When talking about these officials of the current dynasty, there was no disrespect on the faces of everyone present. It's so interesting today, for many years...... No, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and even since the Qin Dynasty burned books and pit Confucianism, it has rarely been heard of such an exciting thing happening, and today they were actually met by themselves, and these young scholars are very excited.

In fact, not only these scholars, but also the entire Jingshi, whether they are poor or poor, their theme tonight is almost the matter of Zhendong Hou making trouble in the Jinluan Palace.

Including these girls in this brothel, the round-faced girl asked again: "The matter of Henan, Zhendonghou is not wrong, right?" ”

"The beauty is from Henan?"

"No, it's not."

"Do you have relatives and friends in Henan?"

"Nope."

"And what is this doing, you ask?" After getting two negative answers in a row, the scholar who asked the question immediately lost all interest, and he echoed the previous person: "Yes, how can Cao Thief talk like this, when he killed the queen and the two princes, the righteousness that Cao Thief said was awe-inspiring, and he falsely called Queen Fu to filth the harem; When he recounted the chronicles, he argued that if there was no other person in the world, I don't know how many people are called lonely and how few are widowed; Xuzhou was killed all the way to the wilderness, and the Cao thief could still sigh for thousands of miles without a rooster's crow, while plundering the army, while lamenting the devastation of life. If the imperial historians really met Cao Thief, it is estimated that everyone will sing his praises for his high wind and bright festival, where do they dare to scold him like scolding Zhendonghou? ”

"After hearing about this today, do you know who I am thinking of?" Another person smiled and said, "King Yue! I remember that when King Yue asked Song Gao for the army and power, Song Gao didn't give it, so King Yue went back to his hometown in a rage, saying that he would not serve. ”

"yes, I immediately remembered that." A few voices of approval sounded in the house: "At that time, Jin Kou had millions of soldiers, and the Southern Song Dynasty was in danger of exhaustion, but at that time, King Yue scared Song Gao a lot, and it seemed that he was crying." ”

"Also?" Immediately, someone was keenly aware of the hidden meaning of this man's words: "Satirizing the Holy One!" Punishment, punishment! ”

"Be punished, be punished." In the midst of the uproar of the crowd, the person who said the wrong thing did not shirk, took the wine glass and drank it all.

"King Yue and Huang Hou are both born in the army and have no education, so they are comparable to Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao, good families? However, King Yue wrote a good hand. ”

"Haven't you read Huang Hou's words? The couplet in front of the Hou Mansion in Zhendong was written by Huang Hou himself, and it is also a great good character. ”

"Really? It can be seen that Huang Hou is the reincarnation of King Yue. ”

"Not necessarily, but King Yue's words are very well written," someone retorted: "Huang Hou's poems are really unreadable." ”

"Haha." Thinking of Zhendonghou's poem, everyone laughed again: "The five fingers are not ordinary, so be demanding." ”

"If it is really the reincarnation of King Yue, is it the same fate?"

"Even if it is not the reincarnation of King Yue, it may not be a fate," the topic was pulled farther and farther away by the scholars: "When I used to read the book and talked about the Fengbo Pavilion, I still sighed, I didn't understand why Song Gao was so mediocre, today Huang Hou made a fuss, I can understand a little bit of Song Gao's thoughts at that time." ”

"Then who should be Qin Hui? Chen Yuanfu? ”

"Chen Yuanfu? If he dares to do it, he will be Zhang Bangchang, Zhang Bangchang did not succeed in harming King Yue back then because the Yue family army is still there, and now the Huang family army is not thousands of miles away like the Yue family army, and the Huang family army is staying outside the capital. If you hurt Huang Hou, aren't you afraid of a Cao Cao? ”

"Then who do you say is Qin Hui."

The scholars said a few more names, but although they blushed and had a thick neck, they had no unified opinion, and just when everyone was arguing, a girl who was sitting with her suddenly interjected: "The concubine thinks it's better to wait and see, whoever disbands the Huang family's army, then most likely is Qin Hui, at least she wants to be Qin Hui." ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter: "Girl Gaojian, that's exactly the case." ”

"Is what happened in Henan true or false?" The round-faced girl asked a third time.

"True or false, what do we have to do with it?" Hou Fangyu replied casually, the scholars in the capital all have the same attitude, Henan - that is too far away, as long as there are no relatives to go there to be officials, or where they are from, what does the life and death of a group of Henan farmers have to do with the prosperity of Beijing and Jiangnan?

……

"What does the matter in Henan have to do with adults?"

Since that time Zhendonghou had a heart-to-heart conversation with himself, Jin Qiude had secretly sworn that he would never ask Zhendonghou what his motive was, as long as he carried out the order, but today he broke his promise again: "The camp has been operating in Henan for many years, and most of the people are thieves and have no officials, and Sun Chuanting killed people - if he can really kill all the people of Henan...... Of course it can't be, and the subordinates don't mean that, but if it can be done, the camp will be a rootless tree and a sourceless water, and it will naturally be flat. ”

"So when we were in Liaodong, if we killed all the people under Jiannu's rule, wouldn't Jiannu be peaceful?"

"First, we have the ability to kill all Jiannu, and Sun Chuanting can't defeat the army; Second, if Jiannu can't grab people from the Guan Ning army, in fact, the adults are right. The subordinates felt that Sun Chuanting meant this, and if there was one less person in Henan, the strength of the camp would be weaker. ”

"Xu Ping has returned to the division," Zhendonghou had already received the latest information, and Xu Ping rushed back to Henan with his direct subordinates day and night: "The pressure in Jiangxi should be less." ”

"I hope so, so Sun Chuanting can be regarded as somewhat useful," Jin Qiude believes that Sun Chuanting will never have the courage to fight with the army: "If he has the courage to fight with the camp, he will not have to leave an inch of grass where he passes, and now that Xu Ping is back, then Sun Chuanting should probably find an excuse to run away." ”

"Do you think he's going to quit?"

"The subordinates think that Sun Chuanting's thinking is obvious, he is following the old trick of the northern captives entering the customs, and he runs away every time he fights. By destroying Henan again and again, they will destroy the strength of the camp, after all, the camp is still surrounded by all sides, and Henan is their base. Since Henan can't be recovered all at once, Sun Chuanting thinks it might as well take his time. Jin Qiude pointed out that as early as the Warring States Period, this was one of the strategies to make the enemy country tired: "Although Henan is still nominally the emperor's land, and the people of Henan are still nominally the emperor's people, there is no difference between the hearts of Henan and the enemy country." ”

Jin Qiude frowned slightly when he saw Huang Shi, but he didn't panic at all: "My lord, my subordinates have always looked at the war from a purely military perspective. ”

"You're doing a great job." Huang Shi made an apologetic gesture: "Brother Jin continued. ”

Sun Chuanting has recovered Luoyang, and his staff have advised him to stick to Luoyang, Tuntian to peek into the Central Plains, but Sun Chuanting does not stop, and his subordinates think that he has no confidence in holding Luoyang in his heart. Unlike the Beiyu, the Beilu always plundered the people out of the pass, because they were not worried about fighting the Hebei Army before the formation of the new army, so it was okay to go slower. And Sun Chuanting obviously wanted to march lightly, for fear that he would not be able to walk fast with the people. Jin Qiude thought that although Sun Chuanting's methods were cruel, they were still beneficial to the Marquis of Zhendong, and he had not been to Fujian since the closure of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and he had no impression of how Yang Zhiyuan was running it: "Shi Ce even sent the people to the battlefield there, and his subordinates thought that it could be called precarious." Minlian ...... What kind of fighting spirit do they have? ”

Not only Jin Qiude, but also the policies on the front line in Jiangxi are not sure whether the militia recruited by the council will escape from the battle, after all, they have seen or heard too many things about the militia scattering in a hurry: "Xu Ping's return to the division will make the pressure on Jiangxi lighter, and if Xu Ping can catch up with Sun Chuanting." ”

Speaking of this, Jin Qiude shook his head slightly, and the intelligence said that Xu Ping only returned to Henan with one battalion, and there were 200,000 soldiers from the seven provinces under Sun Chuanting: "It is estimated that it is difficult." ”

"If you can catch up with Sun Chuanting and annihilate this bandit army, then the officers and soldiers in the north will no longer exist, and the army will be able to drive straight into the Beijing division, and there will be nothing that can resist them." In this case, the imperial court had to send a new army to resist the invading army, once the new army left the capital division, it was Huangshi's final say on where to march, if he insisted that the invading army would attack from the south road, then no one could refute his judgment.

"If Sun Chuanting is determined to fight, maybe Xu Ping still has a chance, but his subordinates think that Sun Chuanting will definitely escape back to Tongguan." Jin Qiude thought for a while: "My lord, it is rumored that Xu Ping is your eldest disciple outside, I hope that you, the nominal disciple, can also create miracles like you." ”

"Okay, let's wait for the good news, I'm full of confidence, whether it's the folk practice in Jiangxi or Xu Ping who returned to Henan." Huang Shi ended his talks with Jin Qiude and planned to return to Beijing.

Now that Jin Qiude has not returned to Beijing but is stationed in the wolf's den, Zhao Wanxiong, like Huangshi, is still staying in the city.

"Subordinates send adults out." Unlike other worried subordinates such as Yang Huaizu, Jin Qiude did not say a word to persuade Huangshi's decision.

"You're relieved." When he went out, Huang Shi joked to Jin Qiude.

"The destiny of heaven returns, and the king does not die." Jin Qiudeli replied: "My subordinates think that they are the most confident people in the world, and the emperor does not need to be afraid of him now, and if there is an accident, my subordinates will immediately raise troops into Beijing." ”

"Da Ming ......" Huang Shi shook his head and sighed lightly, Da Ming, no matter how mediocre the emperor is, after all, he can scold the emperor, and it is not a big deal to scold Emperor Chongzhen by himself In the end, there are too many people who scold the emperor, and in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, this is unthinkable: "Da Ming ......" Huang Shi still didn't say anything after all.

……

At the end of September, when he learned that Xu Ping had returned to Henan, Sun Chuanting immediately wrote a letter saying: "The roads are muddy, and it is difficult to transport grain and grass. "He said that he would lead the bandit army back to Tongguan.

"The thieves are all ruined."

Sun Chuanting's words were still in his ears, and the bandit army began to return to Shaanxi, and the Qin army's fourth exit from the customs, the biggest difference from the previous three times was that it did not encounter Li Zicheng's main force resistance and retreated on its own.

Before Xu Ping returned to the division, after a series of massacres, the people of Henan fled into various cottages, leaving behind their illusions and resolutely resisting, greatly slowing down the march of the bandits.

"General," a middle-aged man galloped in front of Xu Ping and bowed to him: "The Sun thief has already begun to escape, and the villain implores the general to pursue him immediately." ”

"Is Sun Chuanting already gone?" Xu Ping felt a little lost when he heard that the bandit army had begun to retreat, and his subordinates hurried back hundreds of miles, hoping to engage the bandit army on their homeland.

Looking around at the marching column following behind him, Xu Ping showed some hesitation.

The middle-aged leader of the civil training saw the change in Xu Ping's face, and also noticed that there were only a few thousand soldiers behind Xu Ping, so he clasped his fists again and said loudly: "General, the villain doesn't understand the art of war, just a hunter, but for the jackals, if they don't hurt them, then they will still come in the future. ”
