Chapter 29: Impasse
It was the early dynasty again, Renzong Li Zhekai's chest seemed to be blocked in a mess, and there was a gloomy smell in the court. However, it is a matter of making decisions early, and how can it be dishonest to others.
"Enough!"
Renzong really couldn't hold back his anger, and reprimanded angrily: "When I first ascended to the Great Treasure, I originally planned to Taoguang and cultivate obscurity, and Lai Zu Shangyu Wei practiced a friendly policy, but you didn't want to fight. What a big country, how can it lose its prestige to others. As a result, after years of fighting, the enemy did not see half a step back. Weng Tongxu: How many military horses do you still have in your Soldiers and Horses? I dare not say. I'll tell you for you! At this autumn o'clock, you even brought in mules to fill the number, do you think I am blind? Wei Xinghai! How much grain and grass has your chief executive raised for me this year? How much armor has my 100,000 forbidden troops still waiting for you? What are you trembling about? Wasn't you still clamoring just now? Hmph! Now the treasury is empty, horses are in short supply, and the new recruits have more than five floors, their training is rusty, their ordnance is outdated, and some campers cannot even be issued with heavy armor. At this time, one by one, you remembered that Huairou was the best?
Looking around at the corridor, Renzong suddenly got up: "Remove the seats, if you don't have a good plan today, you will all stand for me!"
At this moment, the court that had been in chaos just now suddenly fell silent, and even a silver needle could be heard falling to the ground at this time. Fortunately, it didn't take long for one person to step out among the ministers, it was Cao Xixian, the elder of the Dongtu Pavilion University, "Holy Lord!
After three days of early court, Renzong finally made up his mind, and issued a handwritten edict one after another, and sent it to all states and counties in an expedited manner for 800 miles from the Shenji Battalion. These include: the royal princess and her relatives, starting from Anyang, Tokyo on the eighth day of the second month of the second month of next spring, Cao Xixian, a scholar of Tuge University in Fengdong, was the envoy of Xuanfu and escorted the princess to the north; Yang Lie, the general of the hussars, went south to Chenzhou and Suzhou to patrol the southern chapters, called disaster relief and relief, and was actually to purge the soldiers and horses of the two states, and went north to assemble on a certain day. The political secretary, the soldiers and horses, and Wei were dismissed from their posts and investigated, and Xiao Cheng and Han Hui, commanders of Fengcheng and Laiyang, were urgently transferred to succeed them; they secretly prepared military rations and armor, and vigorously reorganized the army for war. On the way, there were also Luancheng garrison general Geng Jingzhong and Yanbo Sanguan garrison general Fang Chaozong rushed to the starry night. All of this, but there are a few strategies that are secretly in line with Dumb's countermeasures that day.
It turned out that three days ago, led by Ling Feng Zhenren, twelve inner disciples, and sixty-eight elites from the outer gate had already come to vote, and all of them settled in Qixiaguan in the east of the city. Renzong Li Zhekai was interested in the Immortal Sword Sect, and he had a good conversation with Ling Feng Zhenren. This Ling Feng Zhenren, who originally had a family history, was even more difficult to understand medical theory, and immediately taught a set of hibiscus body cultivation skills, and offered thirty-six heart nourishing pills on behalf of the sect.
is also the same set of rhetoric about the world, from the mouth of Ling Feng Zhenren, it is naturally logical and reasonable, compared with the yellow-haired dumb, of course, it is not the same. This made the dumb who was listening on the side very angry, but he was only depressed.
The next day, the twelve senior brothers entered the palace to perform, which made Renzong even more overjoyed, and Dumb's silent ability was forgotten in Java. In the past half a month, Renzong and the Immortal Sword Sect have become closer and closer, and they are even more convinced of Ling Yun's strategy, coupled with Ling Feng's real people's careful conditioning on demand, Li Zhekai's insomnia has also been alleviated. Seeing that except for Dumb himself who was not satisfactory with himself, everything went according to plan, quite smoothly.
It's a pity that it has been stable for less than a month, and several major events have happened one after another, which has suddenly made the situation tense. The first one: Shan was robbed and killed on the way back to the north, and only a few of his followers escaped and ascended to heaven. Although it is not certain who did it, the perpetrator used the name of protecting ** to generously scold the northerners as tartars, and the Southern Yuan court naturally had to take responsibility. The second one is very weird: Yang Lie was seriously injured by an assassination on his way south, and one of the assassins was trapped, and when he committed suicide in fear of crime, he actually carried a letter from the Immortal Sword Sect. The last one was directly reported to Renzong by the inspector today: In all towns along the Qingyuan River, there were incidents in which the Taoist priests of the Xianjian Sect gathered to resist donations and attacked the county government. What's more, he actually committed murder after drinking, robbed large households, and raped and killed local women, which can be described as a clear evil.
As soon as the above things came out, the Southern Yuan court was caught off guard for a while. Renzong immediately ordered Xuanfu to send Cao Xixian to Linzhou, bring the letter of state to appease the leader of Haotian's tribe, Wukui, and clarify the sincerity of Nanyuan and relatives to Haotian Shan in Wushu. He personally went to the Three Parks to visit Yang Lie to show the court's sympathy for the important ministers, and issued an edict to conduct a thorough investigation, and selected another senior to go to Lingnan and Erzhou to succeed him. As for the matter of resisting donations along the river, the imperial court urgently issued an edict that if civilians gather more than 10 people, they will be severely punished for any reason. However, he raided many public places such as gambling stalls, secret prostitution, and liquor shops.
In November, Haotian Shan Yu sent a new envoy to the court, and in order to avoid foolproof, Dumb and other sect disciples were incorporated into the forbidden army's 'Imperial Wind Camp', and were called to respond and provide protection. It wasn't until this group of Saiwai clans dressed in fur and holding eagles and dogs entered Beijing safely that the ministers breathed a sigh of relief.
As for the assassination of Yang Lie, due to the lack of evidence, and the letters of the Immortal Sword Sect left at the scene were too abrupt, the case could only be traced all the time.
On the contrary, the resistance to donations along the Yangtze River has intensified, and there is a faint trend of calamity to the counties in the south of the Yangtze River. Renzong was furious, and sent Li Zherui, the king of Pingnan, to lead troops to suppress him, and strictly ordered the disobedient to be executed, and on the other hand, he reduced the money and grain of the county for three years. It was not until the end of November that the chaos subsided. However, the bloody rain is naturally inevitable, and more than 500 people were killed in Hanyang alone, and countless people were unjustly arrested.
Kankan came to the middle of December, Haotian was still outside the city of Linzhou, looting everywhere, fortunately, the gate of the border town was locked and there were no sword soldiers, the people who were robbed had already been robbed, and those who were not robbed had already fled without a shadow, and the strong wall was depressed.
The Southern Yuan court only made a harmonious atmosphere and pretended to be comfortable. Although the personnel appointments and dismissals of various ministries in the DPRK and the Central Committee are frequent, the province can be regarded as doing things step by step. The situation seemed to ease up for a while.
In fact, the two sides are secretly competing, and this moment is at a critical moment. On the side of the Southern Yuan, the armies and horses of each state advanced by land and water, and gathered in Luancheng and Lousanguan. The 50,000 elites of the forbidden army took the Qinzhou Navy Ship all the way north, and it had already spread along the Linzhou line, faintly holding the Haotian River Crossing Pioneer in his mouth. On the other hand, Haotian is single in each department, and in the north of the Monan River, two wolf mountains and Xiahe Bay build two big villages, and the octagonal tent is next to one, stretching for dozens of miles. A few lines of thin lines to the north can not see the end all the way, and the carts of cattle and sheep come to the south, and there are iron hooves along the way, and they are all fierce and speechless.
The war is about to break out, but there is still a fuse missing. Originally, the killing of the envoy was a good excuse, and the Haotian Ministry should have launched it a month ago, and even the text of the crusade was prepared. Unexpectedly, it was delayed because of two things. The first thing is that the Mo Nan River was frozen very late this year, and the ice in Xiahe Bay should have blocked the river a month ago, and the moat was turned into a thoroughfare in an instant. Tiangong obviously didn't mean this, and the thin ice formed by the Monan River was less than a finger, which discouraged Shan Yu's baggage. The other thing is that Renzong made a rare decision this time, and he actually transferred Yang Lie away and came to change the generals. Although the spy reports were still coming, Haotian Shan Yu Wushu hesitated and ordered the vanguard Wukui to suspend the river crossing. was also caught off guard, Yang Lie.
It turned out that the letter from the Immortal Sword Sect was fake, but Yang Lie's assassination was true. A bone-piercing cone pierced deep into Yang Lie's right lung, if it weren't for the sudden loss of the mount under him, he would have really confessed this time. The bone-piercing awl came from a pair of sleeved crossbows ten paces away, and the Assassin disguised himself as Bu Zhuang's men, and there were three of them. This crossbow penetrated the soft armor that was close to the body, and the remaining momentum was still more than an inch into the body, fortunately it was not quenched. The other few were blocked by the masters around them with their bodies, and those people were not so lucky, and they were directly pierced. Most of the dozens of guards who rushed up were cut down, but fortunately, their own people also had hard crossbows, and they finally stopped one person by firing arrows. Unfortunately, seeing that it was impossible to escape, the assassin chose to commit suicide without hesitation. Yang Lie has not been conspired against, but this time it is the most dangerous, the assassin's martial arts are so high and tenacious that he still has palpitations in his heart today, and he actually started when he thought it was the safest, and almost retreated in front of thousands of people. Originally, the forbidden army was his most relied on backhand, but this time it was out of control. Most of the forbidden army was transferred to Linzhou as a Chinese army, but unfortunately the commander this time was not him. The 6,000 soldiers and horses of the right battalion who originally followed him to the south were injured after they were wounded, and none of them still patrolled south according to the original intention. There were about 20,000 people in each battalion in the city of Anyang, and they went with Li Zherui, the king of Pingnan, to resist the donation. At this moment, in Anyang City, it is actually in his own hands, but the left battalion of the forbidden army and the twenty battalions of the guards are about 18,000 people. Compared with the elite in Li Zhekai's hands, this amount of strength can only be barely regarded as equal. This is by no means a coincidence, the strong smell of conspiracy lingered in Yang Lie's heart for a long time.
This month, Dumb went to Linzhou with the Yufeng Camp, and the mother and second uncle of the three fat men came back, but the chief dart head Sun Desheng was missing. In the past few days, his mother has always been sick and crooked, refusing to see him, and the second uncle's face is not very good, but he doesn't tell him clearly. Since he got that set of body skills, the three fat men have become trapeze, bluffing the dart game and making such a big move, and it is really rare to see his mother come forward to teach him a lesson.
Originally, the three fat men had a few friends in the capital, the Fan family had a solid background, and he himself was bold and martial. Since I recognized the dumb little brother, I suddenly felt that my little facts were not exposed, and the rights and wrongs that I played with on weekdays were of extremely low grade. So the fat man was bored with the things he was keen on in the circle. Since then, I will not participate if I can.
Today, I really can't avoid the entanglement of old friends, and a large group of people are shouting at them to revisit the old place and eat and drink. But he happened to encounter the honor guard of Shan Yu's envoy entering Beijing.
A group of three lords mingled with the onlookers, recklessly making irresponsible remarks and making remarks.
From afar, I saw Dumb serving as an internal guard, sitting on a yellow horse, and coming listlessly. The three fat men were pleasantly surprised, jumped up and down in the crowd, and shouted loudly: "Brother, brother, you're back!"
Dumb found this Roshan from the crowd at a glance, and immediately showed a look on his face, and hurriedly beckoned. When he got closer, the fat man explained the place where he would meet, and asked Dumb to come to him after handing over his errand. If there was no one around the two brothers, the fat man's old friends were quite surprised, and it also made those people outside the plug very unhappy. It is useless for two people to talk too much, so they will say goodbye.
The name of the place where the two met is called "Lingxiang Pavilion", and there is a great origin here. This kind of land for drinking flower wine, only the noon gate where foreign-related pavilions and posts are concentrated in the capital is the most luxurious, which is similar to the situation in later generations!
Zhengyang Street, the road surface is wide, all paved with large pieces of green bricks, originally smooth and smooth, only two deep ruts are particularly conspicuous. The foreign affairs office is facing the noon gate, to the south a slip post house is lined up in turn, the archway is towering, the imperial pen of the past dynasties is magnificent, the eaves and the ridge are lined up one after another, echoing with the huge city tower. Behind the glamorous scene, there are two parallel alleys, most of which are three-story single-courtyard buildings, elegant and chic. At this time, the sound of silk and bamboo came slowly, and the female smile was accompanied by the fragrant wind, and visitors strolling here were inevitably refreshed. Can come here is not rich or expensive, the car of the sedan car is luxurious, the saddle of the horse is bright and dazzling, before entering the door, the exaggerated wind of splitting the head and covering the face is surging, and the shy people in the bag will inevitably come first.
