Yuan Ang ran west for dozens of miles in one breath, and it was not until he was close to the outside of Suiyang, the capital of the Liang State, that he encountered the soldiers patrolling the Liang State before he was out of danger. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Wu, the king of Liang, was also in a hurry, and when he heard that Yuan Ang had escaped from the Wu Chu camp, he stepped forward and asked, "Fengchang Yuan An, have you seen King Wu in the Wu Chu camp, what do the Wu Chu coalition forces want to do?"

"Hey, King Liang, I'm afraid that King Wu is determined to rebel to the end, and now there is no way, only to solve it by force, please send a general to escort me back to Chang'an, I want to meet the emperor to restore his life and report the details here." ”

"Hehehe, what Feng often says is light, now that Wu Chu's army is besieging me Suiyang, I don't have a general to stop them, who can escort you back." King Liang thought for a moment and then said, "Now there is someone who can take you back, and you really have to thank him this time." ”

"That one?"

"That's him. King Liang pointed with his hand to a resting general sitting next to him, about thirty years old, and he was sleeping soundly.

"Who is this?" asked Yuan An.

"It's Li Guang, the governor of Longxi who has just been transferred from the border pass by the imperial court, who has been walking for a few days and is sleepy. ”

"Oh, I've heard that if you can get his escort, you can reach Chang'an safely. ”

King Liang walked up to Li Guang, who was sleeping, and shouted, "Captain Li, wake up, you have a mission." ”

"Oh, what's going on there?" asked Li Guang hurriedly opened his eyes.

King Liang said: "Can you go to Chang'an, escort Fengchang over, and by the way, tell the emperor that my Liang country is now besieged by Wu Chu's army, and send reinforcements to rescue it quickly, otherwise it will be more auspicious." ”

"No,"

Li Guang was ordered to escort Yuan Ang to Chang'an.

Liu Qi of Chang'an was waiting for good news, and suddenly returned to Chang'an from the front line to report the military situation to Captain Deng Gong.

Liu Qi asked after asking Duke Deng to excuse himself: "You came from the front line, do they know that Chao Cuo is dead, and Wu Chu's army has withdrawn?"

Deng Gong replied: "Your Majesty, King Wu has been preparing for decades to rebel, and he is angry for cutting his fiefdom and asks for Chao Cuo, but it is just an excuse to send troops, and the original intention is not to be wrong, and now that Chao Cuo has been killed, I am afraid that the people of the world will be silent from now on and will never dare to speak again." ”

"Then why?"

"Chao Cuo is worried that the princes' kingdoms are getting stronger and stronger, and the imperial court cannot control them, so he suggested cutting their fiefs in order to strengthen the position of Chang'an in the center, which is beneficial to all generations. I don't think it is advisable for Your Majesty to do this, when the whole family was killed, so that the mouths of the loyal ministers were blocked internally, but the princes and kings were avenged externally. ”

"Oh, you're right, when you think about it, I regret killing Dr. Chao a little. ”

Deng Gong's correct remarks were appreciated by Liu Qi, and he immediately worshiped Deng Gong as Lieutenant Chengyang.

After all the hardships and dangers along the way, Yuan Ang returned to Chang'an under the escort of Li Guang, and crawled to the emperor Liu Qi in Weiyang Palace and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is useless, the matter has not been done, he escaped from the camp of the Wu-Chu coalition army, the king of Wu is resolute, and there are only swords and soldiers to meet at present." ”

"Hmph, Yuan An, what kind of bad idea is your previous judgment, I mistakenly beheaded Dr. Chao's entire family. ”

"The minister is guilty, and he asks for the guilt to be contributed to the minister. ”

Liu Qi paced a few steps with his hands behind his back and said: "Hey, your idea is also for the good of the community, dare to risk the danger to break into the enemy camp, your loyalty can be demonstrated, and if you are killed, you will not be able to bring Dr. Chao back to life, you can retreat and reflect on it." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. Yuan Ang hurriedly withdrew from the outside of the hall.

Liu Qi looked up to the sky and sighed: "Teacher, why do you have to name the word 'wrong', is it because your whole life is related to mistakes?" ”

"Let go of me, I want to see the emperor. ”

"I haven't reported yet, you can't go in. Suddenly, someone outside the temple shouted.

Liu Qi asked, "Who is making noise outside, let him in." ”

"No, report to Your Majesty, it's Li Guang, the governor of Longxi. ”

Li Guang walked into the hall and bowed down and said: "The last general Li Guang sees Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

Liu Qi looked at Li Guang, who was burly and sturdy, and couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder Emperor Xiaowen praised your martial arts, your appearance is really extraordinary." ”

"Your Majesty Xie praised, it will be King Liang who will come at the end of the day and ask me to send a letter to Your Majesty, asking Your Majesty to send reinforcements quickly, otherwise it will be difficult for Liang to hold out for a long time. ”

"Oh, based on your experience, is the capital of Liang Kingdom in danger now?"

"I saw that the capital of Liang had a high wall and a deep ditch, and it should be able to withstand the attack of the Wu-Chu coalition army in a short time. ”

"Oh, okay, you return to Liang immediately, everything is subject to the instructions of the Taiwei Zhou Yafu, tell the king of Liang, just say that reinforcements will arrive soon, let him hold on no matter what. ”

"No, the last general will retire and return to Liang. Li Guang was about to turn around and leave.

Liu Qi hurriedly said, "Slow, what is General Li's position now?"

"I just arrived in Liang and I don't have any position yet. ”

"Okay, I will appoint you as the commander of the cavalry today, and under the leadership of the captain Zhou Yafu, you will put down the rebellion, and do a good job. ”

"No, Your Majesty, the last general will retire. Li Guang withdrew from Weiyang Palace and returned to Liang.

Liu Qi immediately urged Zhou Yafu to march immediately, and at the same time wrote an edict for the battle: "I heard that good will be rewarded, and evil will be rewarded. Emperor Gao personally commended those who had merit and established princes. King You, Mourning Hui Wang's main family has no heirs, the feudal country has been removed, but Emperor Wen took pity and gave another favor, sealed the concubine of King You, Liu Sui, and mourned King Hui's concubine Liu Wei as the king, let them serve their ancestral king's temple, and became a vassal state of the Han Dynasty. This kindness is comparable to heaven and earth, and competes with the sun and the moon.

However, Liu Biao, the king of Wu, violated virtue and was ungrateful, lured and accepted the world's outlaws, confused the world's coins, and said that he was sick and could not go to court for more than 20 years. Yousi repeatedly complained about King Wu's crimes, but Emperor Wen forgave him and hoped that he would mend his ways. Unexpectedly, he now joined forces with Chu Wangwu, Zhao Wangsui, Jiaoxi Wang Wei, Jinan Wang Biguang, Zichuan Wang Xian, and Jiaodong Wang Xiongqu to rebel and do rebellious things. They raised troops to endanger the temple, brutalized ministers and envoys of the Han Dynasty, coerced thousands of people, killed innocent people, burned down people's houses, and dug up people's graves. This is very tyrannical behavior. Now Jiaoxi Wang Wei and others are even more tyrannical, burning the temple and taking away the temple's clothes. I hate them very much. I walked away from the main hall in civilian clothes, hoping that the generals would persuade your scholars to attack the rebellious enemy. To attack and build a counter-enemy, you have to go deep and kill more enemies to be considered meritorious. All captured enemies, as long as they eat more than 300 stones, must be killed, and they cannot be released. Anyone who dares to discuss the edict or disobey it shall be punished by beheading. ”

Zhou Yafu received the edict and immediately made the final preparations, first thinking of Zhang Jiayang's report on Tian Lubo's opening of the second front, and hurriedly called Zhang Jiayang and said: "Zhang Jiayang, I have informed the emperor of your news, and the emperor let me make full decisions, and the generals on my side are slightly insufficient, I heard Dou Ying say that you are strong in martial arts, and you are wonderful in six games, so you can be entrusted with a heavy task, please take 3,000 men and horses to intercept this road and sneak attack the enemy army, okay?"

"Captain, this is a bit inappropriate, right, I haven't led the troops?"

"I trust you, you just have to meet the enemy with your heart, I will continue to send Meteor Horse to understand your battle situation, if there is a mistake, I have my own way to remedy it, if you succeed, there will be a heavy reward. ”

"Okay, Jia Yang might as well be respectful, I'll get ready to go. ”

"Well, I wish you a victorious start. ”

Zhou Yafu sent Zhang Jiayang away, looked at the besieged Qi State on the map, and the confident Zhao State, so he followed the meaning of the emperor Liu Qi: "Send Luan Bu to lead tens of thousands of people to rescue the besieged Qi State, Li Ji led tens of thousands of people to attack Zhao State, Dou Ying guarded Xingyang, monitored Qi Zhao's soldiers, sat at the gate of Chang'an, and led the main army of the 36th General to detour to Luoyang, and then to the front line of the war between Wu Chu and Liang State, and act when the time comes." ”

When Zhou Yafu led his tens of thousands of elite divisions to the east, someone shouted from behind: "Is the captain ahead?"

Zhou Yafu grabbed the horse and glanced at the visitor, with a sparse beard and a thin face, and asked, "Who are you?"

"Scholar Zhao She. ”

"I'm Taiwei Zhou Yafu, what's the matter with me?"

"I'm just here to tell the lieutenant that I hope you will lead your troops to the right and go around the avenue to the right, passing through Lantian and going to Luoyang, so as not to encounter an attack by the rebels halfway. ”

"I've taken a detour now, won't it be even farther to detour?"

"Hehe, you go around a little more to the right and delay a day or two at most, when you arrive in Luoyang unconsciously, go directly to the arsenal to beat drums and gather generals, that will make the rebels and their generals feel magical, it will be beneficial to you and harmless, why not do it." ”

"Thanks for the reminder, I'm going to march in as you suggested. So Zhou Yafu led his main force around the avenue to Luoyang, and then ordered people to return to Chang'an on the way to search, and sure enough, they found the rebels, which surprised Zhou Yafu.

As soon as Zhou Yafu's drum sounded, the guards hurriedly came to report: "Ranger drama Meng is asking to see outside the tent." ”

"Oh, Ranger Drama Meng, hurry up, please. ”

Not long after, Ju Meng hurriedly walked into Zhou Yafu's tent with a person, Zhou Yafu fixed his eyes, it turned out to be the prince of Hejian Wei Juan, Wei Juan came to Zhou Yafu and said: "The prince of Hejian led the soldiers of Hejian to suppress the rebellion, and I would like to listen to the dispatch of the Taiwei." ”

Drama Meng Shili said: "The Ranger drama Meng represents Luoyang and the heroes of the world to listen to the orders of the captain. ”

Zhou Yafu laughed and said: "Wei Juan is coming, the drama Meng is not opposed, let me guard Xingyang, the east of Xingyang is worry-free, why should I worry about the rebellion is not successful, the ranger drama Meng is like a soldier of a country, the anti-king has no contact with the drama Meng, there is really no powerful person in the rebel army, and the end of the rebel country has come." ”

"The captain has won the award. Ju Meng hurriedly said modestly.

So he arranged for the generals to defend Luoyang, and then sent Dou Yingsu to guard Xingyang, and he led about 100,000 horses to Huaiyang, and arrived in Huaiyang to meet his father Zhou Bo's guest Deng Gong before his death.

Zhou Yafu asked, "Uncle Deng, what do you say I should do?"

Deng Gong replied: "The Wu soldiers are fierce and difficult to fight. The Chu army was light and thin, and although it seemed to be brave, it was difficult to last. General, you might as well lead your troops to the northeast, build a camp in Changyi County (now southeast of Juye, Shandong), dig deep ditches and build high fortifications, hold on, and let Wu State attack Liang State first. When they were unable to fight, the general sent light cavalry to cut off the interface between Huaishui and Surabaya, so that Wu's supplies and grain and grass could not be transported. Liang Dao was cut off, and the exhausted Wu army was bound to be in chaos, and then the Taiwei could wait for work and annihilate the Wu army in one fell swoop. ”

Zhou Yafu listened to Deng Gong's words, and woke up like a dream, and all his suggestions were adopted.
