332 Lost
The spring is picturesque, the golden sunlight falls from the clouds, hits the river, the turbulent waves, under the golden light, magically become gentle.
There are hundreds of flowers on both sides of Jiang'an, and the mountains are full of flowers, but it is a pity that there are no fishermen on both sides of the strait, and some are just rough men who practice every day and smell of sweat, and they don't know how to appreciate the beauty of that flower and grass.
Five or six days later, Lu Zhennan received a letter from the enemy Wu Weiye, the content of the letter was very short, only a few words, "Get out, Lao Tzu has enough money to spend." ”
Lu Zhennan laughed after reading it, "This Wu Weiye is also real." ”
Zhou Siliang was extremely worried, kept wiping his sweat, and said with a smile: "It's the last general's miscalculation, and I ask the general to forgive me." ”
"It doesn't matter, the most trusted person under the throne of the rebel is the general of the Four Expeditions, if Wu Weiye, as the general of the Eastern Expedition, can be bought so easily with silver, he will not be able to be reused by the rebel king."
"However, he does accept the benefits of his subordinates." Zhou Siliang was puzzled.
"When the water is clear, there is no fish, you also said, he only accepts the benefits of being capable, and the money of those who have no talent and no virtue is not collected, it can be seen that this person has a scale in his heart, which is also the reason why the king of rebellion turns a blind eye, although he is from a poor family, he is well versed in the way of officials, and there are stains, so that the lord can rest assured, but he keeps the bottom line and can't do anything big."
Hearing Lu Zhennan's distraction, Zhou Siliang and a cadre of lieutenant generals immediately clasped their fists and saluted: "The general is wise." ”
"It's not a clever trick, many people will, where is the rebel king now?" He asked.
Zhou Siliang let out a light breath, it seems that the general does not intend to pursue this matter.
"Thirty miles away, in the martial arts." The adjutant replied.
Lu Zhennan sneered, "He is so bold and confident, he is sure that he will not dare to go without General Chu as a backup." ”
"General, shall we send troops?" The adjutant asked.
"What's going on over there with General Chu?" Lu Zhennan did not make a decision immediately, but asked Chu Muyang about the situation first.
Several lines of defense have been broken, and Chu Muyang is building a line of defense behind Danshui at the moment, just in case.
"General Chu's side may take another seven or eight days." The lieutenant replied.
"In that case, let's harass with a small force first, and see how the king will react."
Lu Zhennan did not avoid Zhou Siliang when he said this, it was not a special tactic, in fact, it was true, Chu Muyang did not come, he did not dare to act rashly, Daxing has lost several lines of defense, Danshui This line of defense cannot be lost, it is because he must be extremely safe.
"The last general feels that the anti-king's move is clearly to lead the general to pursue the victory." Zhou Siliang pondered for a moment and then said.
Lu Zhennan nodded approvingly when he heard this, "You are right, so, the biography will order, everyone, be vigilant, and don't let the rebel king have a chance." ”
"Yes!" Eventually, they will speak in unison.
"Let's go deploy." Lu Zhennan waved his hand, "Ben is going to rest for a while." ”
The generals retreated, and Zhou Siliang did not stay, only a general of Lu Zhennan, who followed him to fight in the south and north for many years, and can be said to be the most trusted subordinate.
"General, is Zhou Siliang credible?"
"What about his people?" Lu Zhennan motioned for his subordinates to take a seat, and he himself picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, not in a hurry to draw conclusions, or he already had a conclusion in his heart, but he didn't intend to say it at this moment.
The adjutant general knew him very well and knew that he still lacked some factors, whether his judgment was credible or not, so he had to answer truthfully, and if there was a slight deviation, he would make a mistake in making a decision, which would determine the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers.
"It's all safe, and some people are clamoring to follow him, but his subordinates don't agree."
"Human nature, it doesn't sound like there's anything wrong with it, how did you treat the person you arranged for Zhou Siliang?"
"The performance is no different from that of ordinary generals, in three or two days, I will mingle with the soldiers, young, dare to fight and dare to speak, and my subordinates can't see anything." In the heart of the deputy general, Zhou Siliang is already credible.
Lu Zhennan still didn't say anything, only said: "Let him lead the team tomorrow, and take a look." ”
As a general, he is suspicious and cautious, which is not bad or good, but once he is suspicious and cautious, he will delay the fighter if he is not sure of that degree.
"Yes." The lieutenant general ordered to go down.
The next day, Lu Zhennan finished a set of swordsmanship, bathed and changed clothes, and prepared to go to the river to have a look, he was the general of the main water war, and his command was all sailors, and he had to train on the water every day.
The sons and daughters were training on the river, shouting to kill the heavens, the momentum was like a rainbow, and the deputy general came over to salute and said: "General, it's just a small victory, and the momentum is immediately different." ”
"Yes, most of the spirit of the army mainly comes from victory." He answered.
As the two were talking, they heard in the distance: "Huh, huh, huh." Cheers.
"What's going on?" Lu Zhennan asked.
"Let's take a look." The deputy general trotted over, and after a while, Zhou Siliang came over.
"General, my subordinates are fortunate not to be dishonored, and they have captured General Xianwu!"
General Xianwu, from the fourth grade, is not a small fish and shrimp, Lu Zhennan raised his eyebrows, "How did you meet him?" ”
"General, his subordinates were ordered to harass him, and he happened to meet him, his purpose is the same as that of his subordinates, but his subordinates are more flexible than him."
"Bad seeds, there is a kind of don't play yin, and you can fight with grandpa with real knives and guns!" The Xianwu general was obviously stunned, and after being captured, his eyes were bloodshot and he glared at Zhou Siliang, looking unconvinced.
Zhou Siliang was young after all, and immediately said: "If you are not convinced, I will fight with you, so that you can understand that whether you are playing yin or yang, you are not my opponent." ”
"Compare it, I'm afraid you won't make it? I'll kill you today. ”
Zhou Siliang was not intimidated, and immediately answered: "You want to kill me?" You're still a little hot, so today in front of the general, let's do a life-and-death duel, how about it? ”
"Life and death are decided to be a life-and-death duel, anyway, Lao Tzu has entered here, so he doesn't plan to get out alive!" The Xianwu general spat out, "Come on! ”
Zhou Siliang got Lu Zhennan to nod, immediately stepped forward, untied the rope, and made a start-up action, ready to do a big job.
At this moment, a scout came to report: "General, the army of the rebel king is coming!" ”
"How far is it from here?" Lu Zhennan asked with a solemn face.
"Twenty miles to go."
Twenty miles of land, very close, but these days he has not relaxed his vigilance, even if he fights, he is not afraid, it is a big deal to retreat to the north shore, "Pass the order to go down and meet the enemy!" Be sure to wait until General Chu comes over. ”
"General, the last general is willing to share the general's worries." Zhou Siliang didn't know when he came to Lu Zhennan's side, and raised his hand.
As soon as the word "you ......" came out, I heard someone shouting in the distance: "It's not good, it's not good, it's on fire!" ”
"What's going on?" Lu Zhennan roared with a gloomy face.
"General, someone has set fires, and the tent has been burned to a large extent." Vice-President Future.
As soon as the words fell, someone from afar came to report: "General, the grain and grass have been attacked!" It's on fire, too! ”
Lu Zhennan looked in the direction of grain and grass, only to see a fire in the distance, dust and smoke billowing out, "Withdraw!" He immediately gave the order.
With his 'retreat', everyone moved, Rao was well-trained, and the scene was still a little chaotic.
"General, the last general escorts the general." Zhou Siliang drew his sword and stepped forward.
"You surrender!" Lu Zhennan snorted coldly, his eyes were as cold as frost, and looking at Zhou Siliang was like looking at a dead man.
Zhou Siliang's face immediately turned into an injured look, "What did the general say?" The loyalty of the last general to the court can be expressed in heaven and earth, and the sun and moon can be seen! ”
"Hmph, the camp and the grain and grass are all burned by your people, what a trick to surrender, it really deserves to be a chaotic minister and thief, you can think of any indiscriminate tricks!" He said that the sword in his hand was unsheathed, and he wanted to kill Zhou Siliang personally.
Zhou Siliang is not a vegetarian either, he pulled out a short knife and threw it to the Xianwu general, and the two of them flanked left and right, waiting for the opportunity to move.
Lu Zhennan's lieutenant general was furious and shouted: "You are bold, you dare to kill the general, I think you are tired of life, I don't know how to write dead words!" Today, I will send you to Hades! ”
"Don't talk so much." Lu Zhennan said lightly, and said that the long sword stabbed and fought with Zhou Siliang and General Na Xianwu.
The adjutant general and several guards immediately joined, and Zhou Siliang and General Na Xianwu were also worthy of being the assassins chosen by the king, as slippery as loaches, and they failed to catch the two of them several times, and the goal of the two of them was very clear, that is, Lu Zhennan.
However, Lu Zhennan is in a high position after all, in addition to his own skills, his guards are not bad, and he captured Zhou Siliang in three or two clicks.
Lu Zhennan raised the long sword, preparing to kill Zhou Siliang, but he felt that the whole person suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, the hand holding the sword hung down, and the sword was inserted into the mud, supporting his body.
Others, on the other hand, fell one after another, unable to hold out any longer.
Zhou Siliang easily broke free and came to Lu Zhennan with a sneer, "Do you know why you fell for the trick?" He said proudly, "At the beginning, you were trapped, I was right to surrender, the smoke was buried before His Majesty left, although my people were assigned to various camps by you, but it did not affect their execution of orders, and I also want to thank you for scattering people, otherwise they are really not good at acting, the wind is just right today, the smoke is everywhere, how long can your people last?" ”
"General Lu, I admit that you are a good general, but unfortunately, you followed the wrong master, but don't worry, your master will go with you soon, on the Huangquan Road, you are not ......"
Before he finished speaking, prejudice pierced Zhou Siliang's heart, his eyes widened, and his face was full of unconfidence.
Lu Zhennan used his last strength, but only killed Zhou Siliang, he was powerless to fall, and shouted with his last breath: "Enter the river!" ”
What's the use of killing a Zhou Siliang? The fires that were lit were mixed with smoke, and the thick smoke dispersed with the wind, and Lu Zhennan's troops were almost wiped out on the shore.
The last natural barrier of Daxing was lost, and the general Lu Zhennan was martyred, and at this time, Chen Qian was on his way to leave the country, he was not going in secret, he was extremely high-profile, and he was the regent of the country who had already established himself as the emperor, Baturs, who had left the country, and sent a delegation to greet him with the highest etiquette.
Chen Qian is dressed in cloth and is extremely low-key, but the temperament of the fairy wind and bones makes him extremely eye-catching even if he is hidden in the crowd, especially the compassion between his eyebrows, so that people who don't know him can clearly distinguish who is the world-famous Chen Gong.
Emperor Li admired Chen Qian, and after the mission received the people, it didn't take long for them to arrive at the capital of Liguo, and Emperor Lidi personally went out of the city to greet him and treat him with national courtesy.
"Chen Gong, I said that the door to leave the country is open for you at any time." He raised his voice in front of the carriage and laughed as he spoke, "I also know that leaving the country will eventually usher in a world leader like Chen Gong. ”
Chen Qian in the carriage got up without courtesy, Yu Yuan personally supported him, and took his pulse, Chen Qian's pulse was too weak at the moment, from the perspective of a doctor, it was not suitable to use any mental and physical strength at all, "My lord, do you want to take a rest first?" He lowered his voice.
"No need, I can hold on." He insisted.
In a moment, he lifted the curtain and stepped out of the carriage with a faint smile on his face.
When Emperor Li raised his eyes, he saw that Chen Qian's whole person was very weak, his face was pale, and he was much thinner than when he met before, but his eyes were still shining, as if he had a good eye, everything was in his chest, he got down from the carriage and walked in front of him, just a few steps, as if he was strolling in his own backyard, and his bearing was extraordinary.
"Chen Gong has just recovered from a serious illness, and he has traveled a long way, and Emperor Daxing is really right, he doesn't care about Chen Gong's body at all, medical officer, show Chen Gong quickly." He said with concern on his face, Rao knew that Chen Qian was unwell, and he didn't dare to have the slightest contempt and carelessness.
The accompanying medical officer hurriedly stepped forward to check Chen Qian's pulse.
"Thank you for your kindness, I brought a doctor." Chen Qian put his hands behind his back and refused to be treated at the hospital where he left the country.
A sentence of leaving the emperor made Baturs very happy, when even if he didn't care about anything, "Chen Gong please." He made a gesture of please.
Looking around at the retinue of the emperor, Chen Qian smiled and said: "The emperor is so courageous, now that the dynasty of the country has changed, Vientiane is renewed, it is the time to stabilize the dynasty and recuperate, but the emperor is Chen Bing and I Daxing border, and I am bound to compete with Daxing, so impatient, it is not like your style." ”
Emperor Lili was sad, his eyes were full of disappointment, "The Daxing court made Chen Gong so disappointed, but Chen Gong still didn't want to give up, Emperor Daxing is really blessed to be assisted by Chen Gong's conscientious work." ”
He laughed at himself, "I don't have a talent like Gong Chen, so I have to be diligent." ”
"It's not appropriate to leave the emperor, you elevate Chen so much, have you ever thought about the feelings of your courtiers?"
"I am a courtier who leaves the country, and I have self-knowledge, but it is better than it, there is nothing to be hypocritical."
"The monarch and the minister of the country are so open-minded and modest, Chen admires." Chen Qian was right, not half proud because of the deliberate elevation of the emperor, but more humble.
However, his posture is still calm, he walks slowly, surrounded by countless guards, and the Emperor Li, as well as the ministers who leave the country, and he is always the most eye-catching one, like an immortal coming to the world.
"I don't know when the emperor will retire?" He changed his mind and got straight to the point.
The emperor was stunned, this turned a little blunt, is Chen Qian too confident? Or is there something he can't do well that makes him look down on him?
"Why do you want to quit?" He asked rhetorically.
"Emperor Li should know that His Majesty Daxing is kind-hearted and does not scheming, and the king of Daxing is very deep in the city, and he uses soldiers like a god." He paused, and did not continue.
"I've heard a little." Leaving the emperor's road, King Yu was able to fight from the south to Danshui in less than a year, which shows that this person's ability is by no means comparable to Emperor Chengtian, and he has no confidence in winning 100% against such an opponent.
"Leaving the border of Emperor Chen's soldiers, and seizing my Daxing Xiliang City, forcing the army to pull back, there is no force to resist King Yu in the south, and you must know the consequences." As he spoke, he looked at Emperor Li, his face was always the same, calm and unhurried, and he was at ease.
Xu is admiration in his heart, and unconsciously, the idea of leaving the emperor was led by Chen Qian, "The consequence is that the rebellion of King Yu was successful, and Emperor Chengtian was pulled off the dragon chair." ”
"That's right." Chen Qian nodded, "As far as I know, leaving the country is not a group of harmony, although you have killed a few key tribal leaders, but the rebellious heart is inexhaustible, you can't kill all the disrespectful people who leave the country, you need time to govern." ”
This question has always plagued Emperor Li, his background is flawed, and he killed the original lord of Liguo, and the dynasty is indeed unstable, so he needs to establish a new prestige, and the fastest way to establish prestige is to win the battle.
"King Yu is now in a state of strength, and when the time comes, he will be even more imposing, are you sure that you can win him under the unstable situation of the court? If I were you, I would rather have a mediocre opponent than an ambitious, intelligent opponent. ”
"Chen Gong said so much, it is nothing more than wanting me to withdraw from the army, but what is the benefit of retreating?" He quickly grasped the key point and asked rhetorically, "Emperor Chengtian and King Yu are fighting each other, I can watch the fire from the other side, and if the two tigers fight, one will be killed and one will be injured. ”
Everyone was waiting for Chen Qian's answer, including Yu Yuan.
What method will Chen Qian use to turn the tide of the war?
