(The chapter is nearly 7,000 words, and this is the chapter uploaded today.) The next chapter will be the last chapter of the third volume of "He Xinliang". The title of the fourth volume is still the established "Fighting for the Deer Together". ）

There was no publication of the world's most provocative texts, and there was no mobilization of the army under the king's personal order, and the departure of Lu Shengxiang, the head of the military department, was surprisingly quiet, so that he passed through the entire southern part of Gyeonggi, and not a single local official saw the face of Lord Lu along the way. But everyone knows this, this does not mean that Lu Shengxiang's departure from Beijing is a temple defeat, Lu Shengxiang first lost to Lu Baijie, who was also a squire, and lost in the competition for the post of secretary of the military department, but then he received the holy decree of commanding the sixteen military towns in the three states south of Gyeonggi, and even a group of meritorious veterans such as Yang Shenxing, the general of Anguo, also need to be restrained by him. Lu Shengxiang's horse team was only 300 horsemen, and this semi-open and semi-covert long drive south, the imperial court did not use the Jinggi combat power for the time being, and it seemed that it was more on the sidelines for the Western Chu. Lu Shengxiang, who was dressed in civilian clothes, took his own soldiers to rest in Youlu Pass, but did not enter the city, but temporarily set up a military camp tent outside the pass, and waited until several captains of Youlu Pass heard the news and hurried over, and it was no surprise that he was about to temporarily receive a general rank according to the law of Liyang。 Woorook Pass is located in Gyeonggi Pyeong-Domain, Guangling Road and Huainan Road are the intersection of the three, although the lieutenant of Youluguan is said to be a step higher than the ordinary Liyang military attaché, and he used to be directly under the military department Gu Lu, but now Gu Lu is in turmoil, existing in name only, Youluguan is like a guy who has no father and mother weaned, on the other hand, Lu Shengxiang has Guangling Dao, a maiden family to rely on, and secondly, he is a popular nobleman in the imperial court, not to mention that Lu Shengxiang did not enter the center of the empire by virtue of his family background, but more by his own outstanding military exploits in the Spring and Autumn Period, so no matter how much bear heart leopard gall you have in Youluguan, you dare not take three pinched four-end shelves in front of Lu Shilang。 Lu Shengxiang personally sent several lieutenants out of the barracks, and stood in the open space outside the camp with a young military general who was a confidant, looking at the dust splashed by the horses' hooves in the distance, which was blown away by the wind. Lu Shengxiang squatted down, grabbed a handful of dirt with both earthy smell and spring grass smell, sniffed it, looked south, and was silent. Many people don't know that the dignified military squire was once a crappy scout, and he was convicted of misreporting the military situation once, and almost cut off his head from above.

Lu Shengxiang pinched the soil in his palm and said softly: "Being a scout is like learning to swim, once you know how to swim, no matter how long you leave it for a long time, if you are thrown into the water again, it will be difficult to drown again." Guo Donghan, how is the combat power of Guangling Dao, you know very well, all day and night shouting to compete with Beiliang Yanyi for the first place in the world, in fact, except for the tens of thousands of soldiers of the King of Guangling, the rest are mud and can't support the wall, this is not good to blame the prince for embroidering a flower pillow, it is really a whole twenty years without fighting, the old one quit the army to enjoy the blessing, the small one squeezed into the army to enjoy the blessing, how can you compete with the Beiliang Iron Cavalry and Yan Yi foot soldiers who are on standby every day, Chunxuelou racked his brains and asked the court to get the latest weapons and the best armor, and even the military horse that Gu Jiantang wanted, dared to grab it in his own hands, I am worried now, It's not that those so-called people of insight in the government and the opposition think, they all feel that the biggest hidden danger is that Yang Shenxing and Yan Zhenchun these old generals do not obey the constraints and do not listen to the orders to fight separately, I am only afraid that the West Chu, which has insufficient troops in the early stage of the war, will play with momentum as soon as it hits, and raise the war with war, like a snowball, not to mention the shit of these elite soldiers and good generals in Guangling Road, not to mention the weapons, the war horse armor, and even the military heart, Guangling Road is such a place, the remnants of Western Chu occupy the favorable location and people, from the end of last year to the spring of this year, the military department and the imperial court have continued to send news of the violent death of military generals and captains, these people are all placed in the flesh of Guangling Road by the imperial court without exceptionIn the end, they died inexplicably, some were strangled to death by concubines in bed, some were poisoned by maidservants while drinking, some were stabbed to death by staff with daggers, some patrolled the camp and were hacked to death with knives, and even the old man Huan, who had always been kind to Gu Lu, was also furious, and came to the military department to point at me and Lu Baijie's nose and scold, and even General Gu was scolded in the end, scolding our military department up and down is a group of wine bags and rice bags, for the first line of the northern border of Guangling Road, the business is a mess, and the military ministers sent to patronize the ground for 20 years to scrape the ground for silver, none of them are warriors who have won the hearts of the people, and said that the imperial court is a spy agency specially set up for Guangling Road, those leaders should be taken out and killed. Our Lu Shangshu is still quite tough, he talked back to the old man Huan on the spot, and almost got kicked by the old man, what can I say? But I really didn't expect that Old Man Huan was so old that he almost kicked Lord Shangshu's chest, and it seems that he can live for many years, which is a great thing. ”

Lu Shengxiang put the soil in his hand back to the ground, and after laughing, his expression became solemn again, "Before a battle, I was already thinking about how to celebrate and receive rewards, how to divide the military merits, I don't know where they got their conceit." ”

The young general, who was born honestly and simplely, stood beside Lu Shilang and laughed loudly: "People were slaughtered, but the imperial court still has Gu Jiantang, one of the four famous generals of the Spring and Autumn Period, and Chen Zhibao and the general, a genius in the art of war, can you not be confident? ”

Lu Shengxiang smiled, stretched out his hand and patted the ground, and said with emotion: "The waves become between the waves, and the wind rises at the end of the Qingping." As soon as the sting passed, hundreds of insects swarmed out, and they moved when they heard the wind. ”

Guo Donghan smelled the breeze on his face, and said with a smile: "The last general smells blood." ”

Lu Shengxiang stood up, as if he wanted to vent out the accumulated anger in his heart, and smiled reluctantly, "Yang Shenxing, they all think that it is as short as three months or as long as half a year, and with a light kick, they can crush Xichu, a dead but not stiff spring worm, in summer and autumn." No matter what I persuade now, they won't listen, so it's better for them to rush up and slap Cao Changqing, and it hurts to understand who is really the one who can give orders to this protracted war. But there are drawbacks to this, within half a year of my inaction, destined to be barked by the capital's officials, maybe there will be a bone courtier to splash me with a body of blood, I saw with my own eyes what kind of situation Xu Xiao is, so this time there is some bottom, the key depends on whether the emperor's majesty has enough patience, if you are unlucky, you can roll up the cover and prepare to go with me to Liangliao to make up for it. But if you are lucky, the military merits you will get by then, as long as my Lu family's light cavalry can be used to the fullest, how can you be a real power general of the third grade. ”

Guo Donghan grinned, "Okay." Anyway, the last general will recognize one thing in his life, follow the general, and keep meat to eat!"

Lu Shengxiang was noncommittal.

Guo Donghan suddenly asked cautiously: "I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has traveled southward this time, and has gone to many places including Longhu Mountain and Dilung Mountain, and in Guangling Road and Jiangnan Road, they are even more wide-ranging, singing and harmonizing with each other, and the government and the opposition are all full of praise. Moreover, there is also gossip that His Royal Highness does not approve of the heavy endowment of Guangling Dao, and there are also subtle objections to the destruction of Buddhism. The right sacrificial wine surnamed Jin seems to be quite close to His Royal Highness the Prince, this guy originally had a bad relationship with Yao Baifeng, and he expelled Lord Shoufu and Old Man Huan from the portal, and it was very miserable, many scholars were too scared to go to the Jin Mansion to drink, and no one expected to give him a comeback. ”

Lu Shengxiang frowned and said: "You are a martial artist who has not yet achieved fame, let alone meddle in the court, you can't even intervene, if I hear this kind of bastard in the future, you will go and be a groom." ”

Guo Donghan said with a bitter face: "I wrote it down." ”

Lu Shengxiang suddenly sneered and whispered: "The kindness of a woman, the retreat is not pragmatic, and it is 108,000 miles worse than his old son. If the imperial court succeeds in cutting the feudal domain, it will be okay, otherwise I will hand over the fire to him, and I will see the suspense. ”

Guo Donghan, who was anxious, nodded hurriedly and said, "I'll just say, this city of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not shallow or shallow, and it can be used in the wrong place." ”

Lu Shengxiang deserves to be a smiling tiger, and he smiled without a smile: "Anyway, if there is no big battle in half a year, you can go and be a groom for half a year." ”

Guo Donghan looked stunned, and was about to roll around, when Lu Shengxiang had already turned around and walked towards the barracks.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince "secretly" ran out of the capital to "travel" to the south, Zhao Zhi, the most powerful and majestic mother-in-law in the world, ran to the East Palace a few more times, and did not talk about any major things, but chatted with Yan Dongwu, the most respected daughter-in-law in the world, and Zhao Zhi's mother sat in the harem in the world, and those concubines who competed for favor took the stage one by one and left gloomily, no matter how young, beautiful and versatile, no matter how scary the family background was, she had never been able to beat this woman who was not outstanding in the ring. Moreover, the queen mother Zhao Zhi seemed to have gained a good reputation in the eyes of a courtier, and there were very few murmurs of dissent. Today, in the East Palace, in addition to the queen, even the son of the Zhao family also took time out of his busy schedule and came to Yan Dongwu with Zhao Zhi, and specially asked the celebrant to take charge of Song Tanglu to bring a few pots of authentic Beiliang green ant wine, and the family of three did not have too much red tape, just cooking wine and tasting wine to warm people's hearts. The drinking place is under a finely carved mahogany bird cage, in which is a stupid parrot who only learns to speak clumsily, and somehow fell into the eyes of the crown princess, and has always been favored. Women are not allowed to interfere in politics, this is the iron law passed down from generation to generation by the ancestors of Liyang, so before the Spring and Autumn Period of Liyang, no matter how the two evils of the eunuchs in the feudal town were miserable to the Zhao family, since the emperor could not blow the pillow wind on the couch, there was no fertile soil for relatives to interfere in politics, and the relatives of the Zhao court in history were naturally in power, but compared with the previous large and small courts with various surnames outside Liyang, it was much better.

However, the son of the Zhao family was obviously quite impressed by Yan Dongwu, the daughter-in-law who was on the list of rouge deputy reviews as a "female bachelor", and made an exception to talk about some military affairs, even Zhao Zhi was a little surprised that he couldn't hide it, and this thrill spread until the husband and wife left the East Palace, and the Son of Heaven was not in a hurry to go back to deal with the perennial piles of concerts, and walked side by side with the queen under a vermilion high wallpaper, with his hands behind his back, and he kept looking at the blue sky silently. The heir cat Han Shengxuan authority of the Great Mink Temple Song Tanglu Yao bent down and followed, this dignified appearance does not look like a eunuch in the world, and there is a faint haze between the eyebrows.

The son of the Zhao family suddenly stopped and said: "Standing at thirty, starting a family and starting a business, I did it back then, married you, sat in the world, and I have no big regrets in this life." Forty is not confused, I have always tried my best to disagree with the public, let go of the power of the dynasty to Zhang Julu, let him and Gu Jiantang join hands to govern the two Liao, tolerate Zhang Lu and Gu Lu under my nose, and never doubt the loyalty and ability of these two friends and factions. Of course, they didn't disappoint me, my Zhao family also showed a peak that had not been seen in 800 years, with a vast territory equivalent to that of Great Qin, with military ministers who can fight well, and civil ministers who can help the country and the world. Therefore, I worship my ancestors every year with a clear conscience. Now I am fifty years old, to the age of the so-called knowledge of the destiny of the Zhang family, for some reason, I have been conscientious and diligent for 20 years, and I have seen the government with my own eyes, and in the end I am a little uneasy, and I say that the emperor is carried by the heavens, but I always feel that the statement of knowing the mandate of heaven is contrary to this statement, and the Yuan auspicious charm is changed, and for this reason, I hope not to destroy the twenty years of operation with my own hands. ”

From the beginning to the end, the son of heaven of the Zhao family and the man in charge of ordinary people's families called themselves by the word I, not the word I made all the troubled times of all dynasties and generations yearn for it.

The emperor of the Zhao family stretched out his hand, wiped his palm on the cold high wall, and suddenly smiled: "That year, under the persuasion of Yuan Benxi, I led troops into the palace without authorization, and I took the road under my feet. At that time, I was just a prince, and the reason why I wanted to be the emperor was to win over Xu Xiao, so that you don't have to envy the sword fairy woman surnamed Wu. For Xu Xiao, I don't deny that personal enmity comes first, and national enmity comes later, when this person Tu was young, he could sit with the first emperor and sit on the Wuying Hall to drink and chat, and get drunk until dawn, I, who is a son, can only stand from a distance and watch, envious. Why don't I want to go to the Rongma frontier to whip Beimang? But this matter, I really didn't do well, without the several major battles in which Beiliang participated, the treasury was depleted, and the people's resentment was boiling, if it wasn't for Yuan Benxi scolding me awake, let alone saying that Seal'er would be the prince, whether I could be the emperor or not. Speaking of which, I know that the woman surnamed Wu is the same woman as you, and you actually don't like her in your heart, because you have the same great ambitions. Zhu'er is too smart, he knows everything, but he doesn't say anything, smart people like to drill the tip of the horns, I'm okay, after all, there is Yuan Benxi, a clumsy but god-possessed strategist, who seems to have opened the eyes of the sky, staring at Tai'an City and the whole world for me, but what is my body and bones, you know better than anyone else, I am gone, after Yuan Benxi is also gone, who will suppress Zhang Gu and the others? This time, the white-clothed monk I greatly admired entered Beijing, and he said that his new calendar could guarantee that the Zhao family Guozuo would have more than eighty years, but the world would be peaceful for eighty years, and the price of my Zhao family was huge, I refused without hesitation, and I didn't even dare to look at Yuan Benxi's eyes at that time. Because of this, I don't worry about the courtiers of the two parties led by Zhang Gu and the others, because most of the people behind Zhao Youling and Yin Maochun are from the Han Dynasty, and their sight will involuntarily stay more outside the temple, this kind of sprout, someone has to strangle it, in the past, many famous ministers who did not hesitate to fight with the king were just determined to die, thinking of stepping on the shoulders of the emperor to go down in history, these scholars have a small belly and chicken intestines that have been difficult to change for thousands of years, I can tolerate them, and even condone their presumptuousness, but Yin Maochun, these courtiers, are not the same, probably Zhang Julu has done the ultimate in deeds, they have learned to be smart and more sleek all of a sudden, I know how to achieve my ambitions, he is skillful in means, and his reputation and fame are not wrong, neither as a servant of the king, nor as a foolish and loyal minister who will carry a coffin and crash to death at every turn. There are one or two pillars like this on the Liyang Temple, but the roots are like this, all of them are old and cunning, how should they deal with it in the future? Seal'er is not like me, he was covered in blood and usurped the throne, although those bloods have long been swept away by the rain and snow of the palace, but in Zhang Julu's hearts, they have always been there. But when Seal'er was sensible, he already knew that he would wear a dragon robe and sit on the dragon chair, he was very able to forbear, this is true, but when he was an emperor, he still needed courage, Seal'er is now going astray, thinking that he would do it with me, I would destroy the Buddha, he would greet the famous monk on Jiangnan Road, I want to destroy Xichu with an iron fist, he will ask for his life for the common people in the world, he thinks it is the courage of His Royal Highness the Prince, if my Zhao family has no internal and external troubles, no Beimang, no Beiliang, no Zhang Julu, these people, that's it, he has this mind is not bad, but now is not the time。 ”

Zhao Zhi's face turned pale.

The emperor of the Zhao family clenched his fist and gently smashed it on the wall, "Seal Er can't see the court in the future, it's not a party dispute, but a more complicated situation, it's the people's battle between the lord Wang Sun and the children of the Han scholars, and it's no longer just around the dragon chair, Yuan Benxi said, this is the general trend, I didn't believe it before, but now I see it with my own eyes, I have to believe it." Yuan Benxi also said that in the past, the dragon climbing technique that had reached the peak of the officialdom did not work, and he was waiting for a guy who knew how to use dragon slaying to balance the emperor to surface, once this person appeared, it would be more terrible than the previous division of the domain town of Liyang. Zhao Zhi, can I only wait? This is the destiny of heaven? So even if Yuan Benxi can't find this person, I can't see this person, I have to first kill Zhang Julu, who helped the world's Hanshi open the dragon gate...... Now that the door has been opened and the general trend is like this, I don't want to go against the trend, but as the reigning emperor, it will not be more difficult to take down Zhang Julu who is in the capital and make Zhen'er's chances of victory greater, than it is to deal with Xu Xiao who was far away in Beiliang back then, right?"

Zhao Zhi's lips trembled and asked, "When?"

The Emperor of the Zhao family took a deep breath and said gloomily: "The remnants of Western Chu are dead!"

————

A young man with a grassroots in his mouth looked at the yellow mud tank full of eyes, in it, a little depressed, he glanced at the handsome man with Huang Tingguan on his head and a black dress with big sleeves, a little unexpected, Mr. Nalan, who was sick to cleanliness, was stained with a lot of yellow mud, and he didn't see the slightest resentment, but reached out to pinch off a piece of yellow mud that had not yet dried up, and gently crushed it on his fingertips. In addition to the countless mud jars that are said to be sold for three taels of silver, there is also an old guy who is sitting on a small wooden bench kneading mud to make a jar embryo, covered in mud, seeing him Zhao Zhu and Mr. Nalan who came all the way to see this old man, he didn't make a sound, obviously made up his mind to finish the work in hand, the bored young man raised his gaze and looked at an elderly couple standing in the distance, Mr. Nalan said that one is the remnant of the Southern Tang Dynasty royal family, and the other is a local, it is indeed a flat-headed common man who has dealt with mud tanks all his life, and Mr. Nalan also asked him to guess who is the big spy and who is the ordinary people, Zhao Zhu instinctively pondered that the old woman who could vaguely see the abundance of the year should be the old Southern Tang Dynasty royal family, as for the simple old man next to the old woman, it is not like a top master who can evade Zhao Gou's arrest.

Mr. Nalan, known as the real vassal king of Southern Xinjiang, Nalan Youci walked a few steps closer, squatted at the feet of the old guy on the small bench, smiled and groaned, looked up at the only remaining Spring and Autumn Demon in the world, and said with a smile: "Yo, Huang Laonong, I see that your complexion is ridiculously good, should it be a return to the light?"

The old man glanced at Nalan Youci and said flatly: "Curse me to death?

Mr. Nalan, who was as soft as a beauty, still smiled and said, "I'm just squatting without kneeling, what else do you want? ”

The old man sneered: "Do you want me to expose your old bottom in front of Zhao Zhu's little bastard?"

Zhao Zhu rolled his eyes.

Nalan Youci hurriedly waved his hand and begged for mercy: "I'm afraid of you, the all-knowing Huang Sanjia, just when my cowhide is blown up, please keep some virtue in your old man." ”

It was Huang Longshi, who was the top three in the Spring and Autumn Period, who sneered and said, "You guys are early, isn't it time, is it your idea or the idea of that little bastard?"

Nalan Youci thought about it very carefully, "Both." We have to get by in terms of face, we are either fishing in troubled waters, or we are just here to see Cao Changqing's most embarrassing official demeanor, this is going to be missed, how boring it is to live. ”

Huang Longshi sneered: "Why don't you die if you are bored to live? You guy will only disgust people, no wonder you can't compare to Li Yishan in your life." ”

Nalan Youci shook his head and smiled: "Who is stronger and who is weaker between me and Li Yishan's tesuji, it's hard to say, it doesn't count if you say it." ”

Huang Longshi looked strange and sarcastic, "You have to go to the Netherworld Mansion and listen to what he said to you in person before it counts, right?"

Nalan Youci stretched out his hand and touched his brows, his face expressionless.

Huang Longshi waved his hand, intentionally or unintentionally, threw a few drops of yellow mud on Nalan Youci's face, "You go cool, I'll ask you a few words with the little rabbit cub in your photo." ”

Nalan Youci gently wiped away the stains, stood up, and beckoned to Zhao Zhu, this merry strategist with the Spring and Autumn Double Armor was actually only one less than Huang Longshi, and walked away slowly.

Huang Longshi squinted at His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan who was standing in front of him with a big grin, "You Zhao Zhu is the oldest, when I see your Laozi, he has to obediently sweep the couch to greet him." Get down. ”

Zhao Zhu smiled and sat down, not listening to you, but the etiquette is enough, right?

Huang Longshi's words play with taste: "It's quite similar to someone's temperament." Okay, I know the answer, you can get out. ”

Zhao Zhu glared and said, "What, surnamed Huang, I came to see you at the risk of being removed from the imperial court and replaced by hereditary succession, and you just teased me like this?"

Huang Longshi glared back, "Do you want to get out?"

Zhao Zhu had a pinched expression on his face that he couldn't pull out shit alive or dead, stood up stupidly, and was just about to turn around and make a move, when he heard Huang Longshi hehe: "Want to fart? Then you have to take off your pants, otherwise you will weigh the consequences." ”

Zhao Zhu muttered, smeared oil on the soles of his feet, ran to Nalan Youci's side, and asked curiously, "Can this old man really be a prophet?"

Mr. Nalan, who was standing on the edge of the mud cylinder pile, glanced at Huang Sanjia's side and said calmly: "I don't believe it, but he has done it almost every time." ”

Zhao Zhu sighed.

Nalan Youci habitually pinched the earlobe of the prince of Yan Yi, and laughed softly: "It's okay, it's not a true immortal." At the end of the crossbow, the dying man is angry with him. Let's respect the elderly. ”

Zhao Zhu looked helpless and gently patted Mr. Nalan's slender and white woman's hand.

Huang Longshi suddenly stood up and said an extremely evil proverb to Nalan Youci, "Nalan Youci, you are going to die in front of me and Yuan Benxi." ”

Zhao Zhu's face changed drastically, and Nalan Youci was silent.

Nalan Youci closed his eyes, fell into deep thought, and then bowed to Huang Longshi, who had already sat back on the bench and disappeared.

Respect him, respect yourself, and respect Li Yishan, who once loved and admired the countries that accompanied the study tours.

Respect them is also the most reluctant spring and autumn.
