Chapter 80: The Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms (2)
Liu Bi took the drafted document and set up troops to cross the Huaishui to the west, rendezvous with the army of Liu Wu, the king of Chu, and took over the Chu army, and then sent the document to all the princes of the country, notified the world, and proclaimed himself the Eastern Emperor, and then the army continued to the west, and defeated the army of Liu Wu, the king of Liang, who was stationed in the Thorn Wall (now the Yongcheng area of Shangqiu Nanyongcheng), and killed tens of thousands of soldiers of Liu Wu's army.

In addition, the rebels of Jiaoxi, Jiangchuan, Jinan, and Jiaodong suddenly saw that their brother Liu Jianglu, the king of Qi, betrayed the covenant and could not come out of Linzi, the capital of Qi, as if a time bomb was in the middle of the rebels.
At this time, Shi Lao, Black Tiger, Xiao Zhuge and several of them were in King Wu's escort team to do the security of King Wu, Zhang Jiayang followed them to join in the fun, the majestic military camp and the boundless troops opened their eyes, after a bloody battle, Zhang Jiayang saw the corpses on the ground, at first it was fear, and then it became unbearable, and finally it was numb, after the Wu-Chu coalition army and the Liang army fought for a period of time, Zhang Jiayang's excited mental state eased a little.
One day, Zhang Jiayang asked Shi Lao: "Shi Lao, do you say that King Wu can't win this war with such a big momentum?"
"The historical record is like this, it was wiped out in less than three months, and it was nothing to say, but it was also the first time that I saw the dead bodies all over the mountains, hey, the lives of the people as soldiers are really not valuable. ”
"What is the reason for King Wu's failure?"
For example, the surprise military strategy proposed by Tian Lubo, the general under King Wu, and the proposal of General Wu Major General Huan that Wu is infantry advantage should be quickly killed in the western mountains to exert its advantages were not adopted. Shi Lao said.
"Officer Zhonglang, as the king's guard, you can't eavesdrop on the conspiracy in our tent. Suddenly, a sonorous voice said.
Shi Lao and Zhang Jiayang hurriedly glanced back and found that the person who came was the general Tian Lubo, followed by the major general Huan.
Shi Lao hurriedly saluted: "General Tian, General Huan, Lao Yu didn't eavesdrop on your conversation. ”
General Huan immediately retorted: "If you didn't eavesdrop on our conversation, the ghost will believe you, Shi Lao, if you didn't eavesdrop, where did your remarks just come from, we will enter the tent to pay homage to the king, you should be stricter, if you disturb the morale of the army again, and the king will be bad, you must tell the king to sentence you to beheading." ”
After saying that, the two broke into the tent of Liu Bi, the king of Wu, without being informed by the guards guarding the door, Liu Bi was checking the topographic map with Liu Zihua, Liu Ziju's two sons and a few doormen, in order to plan the best route for the attack, Liu Bi saw Tian Lubo and General Huan break into the tent, and hurriedly asked with a smile: "What is the matter with the two generals?"
Tian Lu Boshi saluted and asked, "My lord, the army is gathered together and marches to the west, and it is difficult to succeed if there is no other special route. I am willing to take 50,000 men, and go west along the Yangtze River and Huaishui, take the troops of Huainan and Changsha, and then enter Wuguan to join the king, so that if it succeeds, the king's great event is just around the corner. ”
"Well, good idea,"
Liu Zihua, the son of Wu Shizi, who was standing next to him, said: "My father is in the name of rebellion, and it is difficult for this kind of army to pretend to others. If the pretending to be the king's rebellion, then what should we do? Moreover, if we take another path with our own troops and take another path, there will be many other evils in the future, which will only do more harm than good. ”
"The king, Weichen is loyal to the king. Tian Lubo hurriedly argued.
When Liu Bi, the king of Wu, heard this, he thought silently, thinking that the two of them were right, but when the prince said about the rebellion, King Wu's heart was suddenly shocked, and finally made up his mind and said: "Okay, General Tian's suggestion will be discussed later," "No wonder Zhonglang Guan Shi Lao said that, it seems that he is right. Tian Lubo said softly.
"What does General Tian mean, what did Shi Lao say?"
"He told him behind his back that the king would not agree to our suggestion, and we overheard and reprimanded him, but the reality was exactly what he expected. ”
Liu Bi was suddenly shocked and said: "What else did Shi Lao say, if this king does not agree, what will be the consequences?"
"Shi Lao said that the consequences are not good. ”
Liu Bi thought that Shi Lao was a future person from the ancient city, and he knew the result of the current matter, if he was forced to say the truth, I am afraid that I would not be able to confirm the truth here, and what Tian Lubo heard behind his back should be quite reliable.
Liu Bi, the king of Wu, continued: "General Tian go slowly, this king agrees to your request, but this king can not draw many troops now, how about you give you 3,000 people?"
Tian Lubo thought for a while and said: "Okay, it's better to agree than not to agree, it's better to have something than nothing, the last general will obey the order, choose a good day and set off to open up a new battlefield." ”
King Wu turned around and asked General Huan again: "I don't know what suggestions Major General Huan has in the tent here?"
"Your Majesty, most of our coalition forces are infantry, and infantry is more conducive to fighting in dangerous places. Handuo is a chariot rider, and the chariot is more conducive to fighting on flat land, hoping that the cities passed by the king do not have to be captured one by one, and he must drive straight in, and quickly occupy the arsenal of Luoyang to the west, and according to the rice millet of Aocang, relying on the danger of mountains and rivers to order the princes, although he has not yet entered the customs, but the world has been pacified. If the king marched slowly and left his army to capture the cities he passed through one by one, then the Han army would have failed as soon as the chariots arrived and galloped into the flat suburbs of Liang Chu. ”
Liu Bi asked the veterans for advice: "What do you think General Huan said just now, can you adopt it?"
The veterans said: "This is just a trick for the young man to show his edge, how can he know where the general trend of the world is?"
So Liu Bi continued: "General Huan's plan is not mature enough, and he will report it after he considers and perfects it." ”
As he spoke, he commanded the troops to march to Suiyang (now Shangqiu), the capital of the Liang State.
Tian Lubo walked out of King Wu's tent proudly, saw Shi Lao and said: "Zhonglang Guan, hahahaha, now I am also a general commander, you misjudged, King Wu wants to send a team of people to Weichen and start to follow the route I am planning, it will definitely succeed, you have to keep your mouth shut, whoever spoils me will have his head." ”
Shi Lao looked at Tian Lubo's proud figure, and his heart couldn't help but tremble, did I change history, did Tian Lubo really want to lead the army to Chang'an, I must find a way to stop all this, so he waved his hand to Zhang Jiayang not far away.
Zhang Jiayang walked up to him and said, "Old Shi, do you have anything to say?"
Shi Lao attached to Zhang Jiayang's ear and whispered: "It seems that you have to be busy for a while, you go to Chang'an immediately, tell the emperor today, and let the emperor get ready." ”
"However, I don't know anyone in Chang'an, the last time we went to Chang'an, we also swam around like a horse, and we didn't know any competent personnel. Zhang Jiayang said confusedly.
"I also inform the secret envoy sent by Feng Jing by the way, he will send the news to Feng Jing as soon as possible, but when Feng Jing reports to Chang'an, the time may be extended; ”
"Alright, I'll go. ”
Zhang Jiayang traveled all the way day and night, ran and killed two horses, and arrived in Chang'an in less than three days, looking at the bustling crowd in Chang'an, the lively streets, and the orderly life scenes in the streets and alleys, he couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms and the war in Suiyang have not affected the lives of the people of Chang'an at all. ”
After walking around and worrying about it, who to find, who has the ability to report the front-line battle to the emperor, Zhang Jiayang wandered aimlessly on the streets of Chang'an City, his eyes looked around, at this time, there was an abnormal riot in front, and then a team of majestic cavalry came over under the leadership of a general, and kept shouting: "Let one, let one, lieutenant patrol." ”
Zhang Jiayang squeezed into the crowd on the side of the road, and asked a young man on the side of the road who was watching the excitement: "Who is the lieutenant and what is he doing?"
The young man smiled and replied: "Hehe, you are a foreigner, you are not from Chang'an if you listen to your accent, this is a lieutenant of the imperial court, called Zhou Yafu, who is in charge of the safety of the Beijing Division." ”
"Oh. Why patrol this little street. ”
The young man said softly: "Haven't you heard, the world is in chaos, the beacon is raging, the royal kings are beginning to compete for the emperor's throne, this inspection of the safety of the capital is the top priority, I must be afraid of mixing in or something, I can't come to the bottom of the kettle to draw salary, then the emperor is not only not guaranteed, our people may also suffer, yo, your accent is not from Chang'an, it will not be sent by the enemy, you see what I am talking nonsense." The lad turned around and walked off into the distance.
Zhang Jiayang smiled and said to himself: "Zhou Yafu, oh, I remember, Shi Lao said, this is the key person in suppressing the Seven Kings Rebellion, can I tell him the news and let him pass it on to the emperor." ”
So Zhang Jiayang squeezed into the crowd and stood in the middle of the road, and the soldiers who opened the way in front of him immediately surrounded him with halberds and shouted: "Bold maniac, why don't you give way, didn't you see the lieutenant patrolling the security coming?"
"The little one has something important to report to the lieutenant, please inform me on my behalf. ”
The soldier who opened the way immediately returned to the tall horse and reported: "Lieutenant, there is a young man in front of us blocking our way, saying that there is something important to report. ”
"I'll check it out. Zhou Yafu rode his horse to the front of the team and saw the sturdy and handsome Zhang Jiayang secretly admired in his heart, and asked loudly, "Young man, if there is anything to do, just tell Lieutenant Ben." ”
"General, small things are urgent and important, and it is inconvenient to talk about them on the street. ”
"Oh, come on, bring it to the Lieutenant's Mansion. ”
"No. ”
So Zhang Jiayang followed the team led by Zhou Yafu back to the Lieutenant's Mansion, and Zhou Yafu asked in the middle of the lobby of the Lieutenant's Mansion: "Say, strong man." ”
"I'm from the Wu Chu coalition barracks. As soon as Zhang Jiayang said this, the soldiers on both sides of the hall all pulled out their waist knives and aimed them at Zhang Jiayang.
Zhou Yafu waved his hands to both sides to signal to withdraw his waist knife, and then asked, "What do you have to tell Lieutenant Ben?" ”
"Liu Bi, the king of Wu, is about to send a team of 3,000 people to the west along the Yangtze River and Huaishui, collect the troops of Huainan and Changsha, and then enter Wuguan to join the army of Liu Bi, the king of Wu, and attack Chang'an together. Zhang Jiayang finished in one breath.
Zhou Yafu hurriedly took out the map from his arms, looked at what Zhang Jiayang had just said, and couldn't help but cold sweat oozing out of his forehead, and said to himself: "This move is really a high move." ”
