Chapter 288: The Cause of the Year, the Test of the Hands (I)
King Zuowu is a deep person in the city, and his joy and anger are rarely visible. What's more, he is the mastermind behind the Thirteen Murderers, and he is convinced that no outsider can know about it. Therefore, although there was a slight difference in his eyes, he had already converged cleanly in an instant. But seeing that King Zuo Wu smiled, he said, "Brother Shicai Chen toasted the old man for the sake of the old man to expel the little barbarian. But compared with Brother Chen, what the old man did is not only in the Tao? Come and come, the old man borrowed flowers to worship the Buddha, and also toasted the Chen brothers for three cups. Reaching out and taking the wine jug, he poured three glasses of wine for Chen Sheng in turn.
Chen Sheng didn't shirk either, but said: "It's just a little work, why worry about it?" The prince said seriously. "Raise a glass three times in a row. Then he said: "The prince is a turbid world, and the government and the opposition are all respectful. can be friends with the prince, this gentleman must also be a master in the world. Not consulted. ”
The black-robed man also raised his glass and drank it all, and said lightly: "Chu Xiangyu." Have you ever heard of it? ”
"Chu Xiangyu?" Chen Sheng had never heard of the name. But it doesn't matter, because someone can record it for themselves. At that moment, he looked like he was groaning, and in private, he immediately contacted the beautiful military advisor who was still in Lin'an City through a private communication channel, and in a few words, he told her a rough idea of what happened here, and asked her who Chu Xiangyu was.
The beauty military advisor has the ability to never forget, and he is as careful as a hair, so in the blink of an eye, he immediately found out the answer and told Chen Sheng to know. A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Sheng's eyes, and then he blurted out to the black-robed man: "Cha Mo is the King of Extermination?" ”
Chu Xiangyu sighed and said, "It turns out that there are still people in the rivers and lakes who remember my name. It's hard to come by. ”
"Exterminating King Chu Xiangyu, is he a nameless?" Chen Sheng said: "Brother Chu was not weak in the year, so he put on armor and went out. In the battle of Hengling, Brother Chu went out and used the two miraculous skills of "Ice Spirit Cold Light Strength" and "Red Flame Fire Gong" to behead thirteen generals of Western Xia, thus breaking the thief army of 50,000. Western Xia was terrified, so he called Brother Chu the King of Extermination. These three-character nicknames have shaken the world since then. When it comes to the deeds of the Exterminating King, who doesn't praise them? ”
Chu Xiangyu sneered: "As long as there is one Zhao Ji who feels unhappy, it is useless for everyone to praise him every day." This faint king, except for his henchman and eunuch Tong Guan, no one believes it, and always feels that others are trying to seize his throne. But I am also related to him, so the greater the credit I make, the more he can't tolerate me. is scheming, and he will only feel at ease until he dies of me.
So later, the Jin Kingdom rose, and the Great Song Dynasty made an appointment with it to attack the north and south, wanting to destroy Liao in order to take the land of Yanyun. This faint monarch actually issued a secret order to let Tong Guan cut off my backup. I didn't know what to do at the time, and I was stupid to serve this faint king, and I was ordered to lead a large army north. When he had to engage the Liao army, he found that the food and grass in the army were not continuous, the armor was rusty, the arrows were rotten, and there was no need to fight at all. Alas ~ In the battle of Baigou, our army was defeated, so that the corpses were scattered for hundreds of miles. Hateful, hateful! ”
Chen Sheng couldn't help but shake his head and sigh when he thought of the war back then. The defeat of the Battle of Baigou did have a far-reaching impact on the Great Song Dynasty. At the beginning, the Song and Jin countries formed a "maritime alliance" and agreed that the north and south would march at the same time to carve up the Liao State. I didn't expect that although the Liao State was in decline, after all, there were still three catties of nails in the rotten ship. Coupled with the mentality of mourning soldiers, under the auspices of Yelu Dashi, the future founding monarch of Western Liao, the Song army was defeated in one fell swoop.
After the Song army lost this battle, it retreated back to the south of Baigou, and was even more powerless to forge ahead. In the end, it turned out that he spent money to buy Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures from Jin Guo. The Jin people not only took advantage, but also saw through the essence of the Song Dynasty's strong and middle-class cadres, so they went south a few years later, and finally it was the change of Jingkang. The Song dynasty was forced to cross south, and only half of the country remained.
However, now it sounds like the reason why the Song army failed in the original Battle of Baigou was that there was something else. If it weren't for Tong Guan secretly dragging his feet and doing tricks, with Chu Xiangyu's ability, even if he lost, the whole army would definitely not be defeated. And the reason why Tong Guan did this, of course, was secretly instructed by Zhao Ji's faint monarch. At the moment of the great enemy, he is still dragging his own people back like this, and this faint monarch deserves his country. It's just a pity for those soldiers who died in vain.
King Zuo Wu next to him also sighed and said slowly: "The biggest responsibility for the defeat of this battle should be on my good uncle." But he took the opportunity to play on the topic, not only putting the responsibility for the defeat on Xiangyu, but also putting his whole family in prison. Xiangyu was unwilling to be restrained, so he summoned the old department to break out of the barracks and return to Beijing to rescue his family. Unexpectedly, my good uncle ordered his masters to act first and execute all the seventeen members of Xiangyu's family in private, and half of them were left alive. ”
Chu Xiangyu's eyes seemed to be on fire, he clenched his fists hard, and said fiercely: "The hatred of destroying the door is not shared." I have to avenge this hatred. So I entered the palace three times to kill the faint king to take revenge. But three times I was stopped by Zhuge Zheng's old thief. The last time, he discovered the weakness of my martial arts, so he was captured by this old thief.
I was so angry that in front of thousands of royal guards, I told everything that faint king had done. The faint gentleman was afraid of the truth, so he pretended not to kill me, and only imprisoned me in the 'iron-blooded prison' in Cangzhou. I just want to grasp captivity to death. Hehe, but he never expected that within two years, the Jin people would go south. In the chaos, the guards of the Iron and Blood Prison also dispersed in a hurry. I took the opportunity to get out and regain my freedom. But the faint king, along with his son, was taken captive by the Jin people and became a prisoner. Hehe, I heard that he and his son were imprisoned under a dry well in the Five Kingdoms City in the north, suffering from hunger and cold day and night, what a retribution, haha, hahaha~~"
Chu Xiangyu laughed loudly, but in the laughter, there was infinite grief and indignation. After teaching people to hear it, they will not sigh for it. Chen Sheng shook his head and said, "Although evil has evil retribution, it is only the innocent Li people who have suffered hundreds of millions of people in the world who have been ravaged by the iron hooves of the Jurchen Tartars. In any case, there is a wrong, and there is a debtor. Since Zhao Ji has fallen to this end, the King of Extermination, your great revenge can barely be repaid. But the King of Extermination is still in his prime, and if he is willing to contribute to the country, he must still have something else to do. Are you willing to do nothing and live the rest of your life incognito? ”
The King of Extermination raised his eyebrows and said, "The hatred of destroying the door is unforgettable. I didn't go to Zhao Gou for trouble, I was already in front of the prince and let him go. Do you want me to go and kill him again? Never think about it. ”
Chen Sheng shook his head and said: "It's not for Zhao Gou, it's for the Great Song Dynasty and the hundreds of millions of Han people in the world." ”
King Zuo Wu sighed: "What a contribution to the hundreds of millions of Han people in the world." Brother Chen is high-spirited and bright, and the old man admires it. ”
Chen Sheng was stunned and said, "Gao Feng Liang Festival? Why did the prince say this? ”
King Zuo Wu said: "Brother Chen, what happened to you is also known to the world. You were born and died, killed the golden vulture in the army, established miraculous feats, and in the end, instead of receiving the slightest reward and commendation, you became a prisoner, alas, the official family is so disposed of, it is really too unfair to you, Brother Chen. But Brother Chen, you don't think it's wrong, but you don't forget to contribute to the country, so why isn't it a high wind and bright festival? ”
The King of Extermination said coldly: "Zhao Gou, that kid is the emperor. Contributing to the country and working for him are not the same thing? Hmph, he is afraid of gold like a tiger, obviously the two sides have become enemy countries, you can't live or die together, he is actually afraid that killing Jin Wushu will offend the Jurchens, so he repeatedly asked Brother Chen to ask you for the crime. Teach the world that people with lofty ideals are all cold. That's it. He actually won twelve gold medals in a row, and ordered Yue Fei's class to prevent him from continuing the Northern Expedition to recover his homeland. Hmph, it is obvious that he is as jealous of his ability as his father back then, for fear that Marshal Yue will have too much credit, and he will not be able to sit on the throne.
To tell the truth, if there is no Zhuge old thief to argue in front of Zhao Gou this time, I am afraid that the faint monarch will even give the recovered Bianliang to the Jurchen Tartar with both hands again. Although the old thief and I have a deep enmity like the sea, but the public and the private are private, I have to say that the old thief Zhuge really did a good job this time. But even so, now Qin Hui in the court is in power, and he is more treacherous and evil than Cai Jing back then. The court is almost all Qin Hui's henchmen. Zhuge is an old thief alone, how can a single tree support the building? I see, this remaining half of the country will be buried by Zhao Gou sooner or later before he can rest assured. ”
Chen Sheng sighed and said, "These major events of the court are not something that a martial artist like Chen can pay attention to. What Chen can do is only within the scope of his ability, try to make a contribution. As for fame and rewards, personal honor and disgrace, etc., then there is no need to care. ”
After a pause, Chen Sheng said again: Although it is ...... now What the officials did was indeed a bit ...... But that's okay. I heard that there was no queen of the official family, and the court intended to ask the official family to set up Marquis An Zhen as the crown prince. When the time comes, the prince will assist the prince to take power, and he will definitely be able to sweep away the decadence of the court, completely recover the lost land, and even go further, collect Yanyun and smash the Yellow Dragon. Wouldn't the Great Song Dynasty really be able to flourish? If there is really such a day, hehe, Chen is willing to attach his tail and do a vigorous career, so that he can live up to his husband and come to this world. ”
As soon as Chen Sheng's eight words "canonizing Marquis Anzhen as the crown prince" came out, King Zuowu and King Extinction looked back at each other unexpectedly. In the deepest part of his pupils, a strange light appeared that only the two of them could see.
King Zuo Wu then snorted and said, "Brother Chen is ambitious, and the old man admires him." But well...... The final decision on the establishment of the prince is still an official family after all, where is it the turn of others to speak. What's more, the dog's intelligence is mediocre, but he is just a middle-aged person. If he is really made the crown prince, it may not be a blessing for the country. If the official family really has this meaning, the old man should try to divide the benefits and disadvantages as much as possible, and ask the official family to take back his fate. ”
