Chapter Ninety-Seven: Wolf Smoke Rises in the Northwest

In the first month of the second year of Jianwen, there were two texts spread all over the world.

The first article is written by Xiao Lie, the prime minister of the Eastern Capital, "Seeking Xiao Rebellion", which shook the government and the opposition in the Eastern Capital, and Xiao Yu, the king of the Northwest, did not do his own thing for a day or two, and the voices of the government and the opposition about the Xiao father and son who were mutually aiding each other inside and outside have not stopped, this time "Seeking Xiao Rebellion" came out, undoubtedly made many people shut their mouths, and there was no shortage of people gloating, the father and son had better fight and lose both, and finally let this great river and mountain cheapen others. But more people still don't believe it from the bottom of their hearts, thinking that this is actually a farce directed and acted by the Xiao father and son, maybe the two of them will secretly cross Chen Cang's strategy and take the opportunity to take Jiangnan, what crusade against Xiao is simply a high-sounding excuse, and the Xiao father and son can be punished!

But after the second article was born, even these "conspiracy theorists" had to waver, because this article was sent by Xiao Yu, the "Xiao Rebellion", and Xiao Yu's spearhead was directed at Xiao Lie.

The document issued by Xiao Yu is still relatively polite in terms of name, and the decent "Asking for Xiao Lieyu", but in the final analysis, it is still the fault of the son and the father, and in the eyes of the world's scholars, it is already unkind to the extreme. And the content of it does not dare to say that the words are like knives, but it is also not half merciful.

"Gai Wenming is planning to control the situation in danger, and the loyal ministers are worried that it will be difficult to establish power. It is to have extraordinary people, and then there are extraordinary things, and if there are extraordinary things, then make extraordinary contributions. The husband is not the same, and the solid is not the same as the people.

Prime Minister Xiao Lie, great rebellion, the right to lose, stealing the Dingsi, subverting heavy weapons, and the herdsman, Sun Ligong and holding authority, autocratic power, prestige by himself, coercion of the times, do not dare to speak up. When the young lord ascended the throne, the fierce changes intensified, the dictatorship of production and Lu, the internal and two armies, and the external control of the pastor and the land; So that the jackals are raging, the small people are rampant in the temples, there is no sunny day, and the country is not peaceful.

Later, the emperor will be the first to attack. At that time, there were police officers from the north in the northwest, and the bandits left the game; the first emperor made Lie the minister who took care of his life, and Yi Wei was the young master. Lie then let go: arbitrarily coerced and relocated, and was forbidden by the imperial province; humiliated the royal family, defeated the law and discipline; sat on the three stations, and ruled the government autocracy; the knight rewarded from the heart, and killed in the mouth; the five sects of the light were loved, and the three clans were destroyed; those who talked in the group were punished, and those who discussed in the abdomen were concealed and killed; hundreds of bureaucrats were jawed, and the road was eyed; the secretary of the court meeting, and the secretary was just a member of the court.

Zhang Qing, the governor of the capital, went through three dynasties and enjoyed the extreme position of the country. Martyr was convicted of non-crime, and he was killed in front of the Taimiao, touching the feelings and ignoring the constitution. The first assistant Li Yan, loyal and outspoken, righteous and acceptable, is to listen to the holy pilgrimage, change the appearance and decorate. Fierce desire to seize the dawn, put an end to words, collect and kill, and do not serve the country. Therefore, the emperor has a grievance. Historical records, unTaoist ministers, greedy and cruel, Yu Lie is even greater!

He also held thousands of elite soldiers, surrounded the palace, supported the guards outside, and was really restrained inside. Afraid of the sprout of its usurpation, it is made because of it. This is the autumn of the loyal ministers' hearts and brains, and the martyrs' meritorious service will be held. I am afraid that the remote state capital, if you listen to it, you will rebel against the people, and you will lose your name and laugh for the world, and you will not take it.

Although the king and the martyrs are father and son, they are willing to follow the virtues of the sages, destroy their relatives with righteousness, serve the proprietor Weiling, and use the Qing monarch to be a small traitor, and rush to the universe; a million halberds, and thousands of horses; Huang Yuyu in Fenzhong, the momentum of the Chengliang bow and crossbow; and the state of Yuebai Mountain, Shaanzhou Shiji Luo; the army is in front of the green river and the corner, and the west is cool and the leaves are behind: thunder and tiger steps, if the fire is raised to fly the canopy, and the sea is covered with fertile charcoal, what is the immortal?

On the same day, the six prefectures of Xiliang, Hanoi, Shaanxi, Xihe, Shu and Hu advanced simultaneously. The state capital has organized the volunteers, Luo Luo realm, raised his might, and Kuang Sheji: it is very successful.

Bunyan Fu rewarded, proclaimed to the world, and made the Xian envoy know that the Holy Dynasty had difficulty in being persecuted. Like a law!"

The two essays before and after, respectively from the hands of Xiao Lie and Xiao Yu, can be described as a brilliant and rare article, which has been copied by scholars all over the world. Some people even called Xiao Yu's Xiaoqiuling school soldiers the Wang Edict, "Seeking Xiao Rebellion", "Seeking Xiao Lie" and the proprietor's "Fengtian Northern Expedition" hundreds of years ago and called the Four Great Texts.

Many readers suddenly discovered that Xiao Wei, who was scolded by them as making the northwest land sink, was not a martial artist who only knew how to kill people and drink blood as they imagined, but a talented man who was the only one of the four major texts, and for a time in the literary world, Xiao Yu's reputation was great.

At the same time, there are two factions in the literary world, one group of people does not believe that these two essays are from Xiao Yu's hand, and there must be someone else ghostwriting. The other faction believes that there is a father and a son, Xiao Yu was originally from a scholarly family, and his maternal ancestor was the Shilin bull ear of the year, Xiao Yu has such literary talents It is not surprising, and even more praised Xiao Yu for having the talent of Kuangfu, but it is a pity that he is a hero in troubled times.

I'm afraid Xiao Yu didn't expect that because a-for-tat essay with Xiao Lie would make his name spread all over the country again, and for a while, it actually made Xiao Yu have the top literati atmosphere of "Mo Dao has no clue about the road ahead, and no one in the world knows the king". If it weren't for Xiao Yu's previous reputation, these two essays alone would have made him a "romantic figure" in Shilin.

However, the father and son completely tore their faces, which also opened the eyes of the world, when Lao Tzu said that his son was disloyal and unfilial, and disregarded the court, when the son turned around, he said that Lao Tzu controlled the government and intended to usurp the throne. A Confucian in Jiangnan ridiculed Xiao's father and son on this matter, "The father is unkind, the son is not filial, and the Xiao family is really a bastard." ”

A Shuoru in the north said to his friend in private: "The dispute in this world is, in the final analysis, a dispute between father and son, a dispute between brothers, and a dispute between one family and one surname." ”

Home to the world.

——

Eastern Capital, the Great Prime Minister's Mansion.

Xiao Lie put down the inscription in his hand and asked, "Meritorious brother, have you read this inscription?"

Sun Ligong, who was standing in front of Xiao Lie, nodded and said, "I've seen it, the Northwest King's writing is good." ”

Sun Ligong hesitated for a moment and said, "However, the words of the king of the northwest leave no room for improvement, which will inevitably be detrimental to the prime minister's reputation." ”

Xiao Lie glanced at the gloomy sky outside the window, and said disapprovingly: "Where is the word "fame" for our father and son. In terms of fame, among the five of us, Qin Zheng, who is the most ignorant of current affairs, has the highest reputation, but unfortunately he has been defeated, followed by Jiangnan Lu Qian, then the Northeast herdsman, and finally me and Xiao Yu. If you talk about strength, you have to turn it upside down, Qin Zheng is the weakest, Xiao Yu is the strongest, but it's a pity that Xiao Yu is too sharp and has become the target of everyone, no wonder I don't show mercy. ”

Sun Ligong was silent.

Xiao Lie waved his hand and said, "Tell the shepherd, I have done everything I should do, and how to fight the northwest is his business." ”

"No. Sun Ligong responded in a deep voice.

Just when the scholars who were sitting and discussing the Tao were still arguing about how to evaluate Xiao Yu, wolf smoke was already rising in the northwest.

The camp in Shaanxi, where the Fujian line is located.

At this time, Min Xing was wearing armor all over his body, holding a knife on his waist, looking around at the generals in the week, and said in a deep voice: "This governor has received the decree of the king of the northwest, and Shaanzhou is related to the retreat of the army of Shuzhou and Huzhou, if Shaanzhou is lost, then the army of Shuzhou and Huzhou will become a lonely division, so Shaanzhou must not have half a point difference, and our army should defend Shaanzhou!"

The generals in the tent knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Please supervise the order!"

Min Xing held his helmet on his chest and said calmly: "Since I entered the Northwest Army, I have followed the Governor of the Great Metropolitan to fight in the south and the north for fifteen years, from a small captain to today's Zuo Governor of Yipin, this is already my sixteenth year in the Northwest. Although I was not born in the Northwest, I am no different from the Northwesterners. ”

Min Xing put his helmet on his head, and said in a deep voice: At this time, "Cha Mang's army is less than 100 miles away from our army, and everyone must be no stranger to Cha Mang, the left governor of the northern capital, and Qin Zheng, the governor of the eastern capital, was defeated in his hands, he wants to use the power of the great victory Qin Quan to enter the northwest, and my Min Xing will never agree." Deliver my military order, gather all the cavalry to go first, and the foot soldiers follow slowly behind, this time, the governor will fight outside the northwest. ”

After that, Min Xing drew his saber and walked out of the big tent first.

In the first month of the second year of Jianwen, the central capital left governor Min Xing wanted to fight a decisive battle with the northern capital left capital governor Mang in Shaanzhou.

Cha Mang was unprepared for the attack, bypassing Minxing, and raiding the camp in Shaanxi, which was empty.

Li Chen, the political envoy who stayed behind in the camp, died in the chaos.

Shaanxi fell.
