In the silence, two men walked side by side between the tents.

Qu Cang's face was bitter, and he asked, "Elder Zi, this matter is hidden from the prince, I'm afraid...... Not really. ”

Zi Shuiyang's face was flat and said: "In the future, when the prince asks for the guilt, it will be borne by the old man alone." ”

Qu Cang shook his head and said, "Zi Lao, I didn't mean that. ”

Zi Shuiyang stopped, turned his head to look at him, and said: "Qu Dutong, you are a close minister of the prince, and you must know the prince's temperament very well. ”

Qu Cang also stopped, shook his head and sighed: "But if you can't guess the prince's mind correctly, it is a crime of transgression." ”

Zi Shuiyang did not deny it, nodded and said: "In the past few years, the prince has become more and more arbitrary, and his temperament has become more and more cold, just like the old saying, a companion is like a tiger, as a confidant, it is right for you to be cautious in your words and deeds, so this matter can be borne by the old man alone." ”

Qu Cang didn't speak again.

During this time, his life was not easy, Li Rusong's arrival made his position in the dark guard shake a lot, especially this time the nomination of the capital commander, and it was regarded by the dark guard as a direct competition between the old and new governors, Li Rusong recommended four people, and Qu Cang also recommended four people. Among them, the old blind man is among the four people recommended by Qu Cang, he is the veteran of the grassland secret guard, and he is also the most confident candidate on Qu Cang's side to win the position of the capital. As for the other people, they have qualifications, and they may not be able to sit in the position of the capital, it all depends on luck.

Qu Cang started when Lin Han lost power for the first time, and took charge of the secret guard as Xiao Yu's henchman, although he was only the commander, but the Northwest Army regarded him as comparable to several governors, as the so-called not a governor but better than a governor, and the authority in Qu Cang's hands was even above a fictitious governor like Han Xiong.

This time, Xiao Yu appointed him as the right governor of the Dark Guard Mansion, Mingsheng actually descended secretly, Li Rusong has his own team, and he is also a veteran secret guard, and everything will come according to the rules, and Tang Chunyu, a master of heaven and man who turned his back on the Tang family and defected to Xiao Yu, has become the biggest variable.

The two continued to walk side by side, and Zi Shuiyang said softly: "Qu Dutong, or Qu Dudu, today the old man is relying on the old man and selling the old man, and he will say some truths that he has accumulated for most of his life, I don't know if you would like to hear it?"

Qu Cangzheng said: "Please teach me Elder Zi." ”

Zi Shuiyang shook the sleeves of his robe, twisted his beard lightly and said: "Eyesight and vision are two different things, eyesight looks at the present, and vision looks at the long-term, in terms of the current matter, what is the present? is the battle for these four capitals, and what is the future? is the mind of the prince." Daozu once said that the husband is indisputable, so the world can not fight with it. At this time, if you can take a step back in the battle for the unification and let the prince know that you are not fighting for power, it is actually a step forward in the heart of the prince. After all, the secret guard is still the secret guard of the prince after all, Qu Dudu, do you think so?"

Qu Cangxin was convinced: "Listening to Zi Lao's words is better than reading for ten years." ”

Zi Shuiyang smiled nonchalantly, "Qu Dudu's words are serious, you are a close minister of the prince, even if you don't have a single commander, who dares to underestimate you? It's just that you are in the game, and you are just blind." ”

After speaking, the purple water yang path left.

Qu Cang stood in place, shook his head and sighed lightly: "Sure enough, ginger is old and spicy." ”

Zi Shuiyang suppressed all the news from Zhongdu without authorization, and the princess's serious illness was a taboo topic, and no one dared to mention it for a while, Xiao Yu was really kept in the dark.

After Xie Si returned to Jiangzuo angrily, Xiao Yu completed the reconstruction of the Dark Guard Mansion, and the four were officially finalized, namely the old blind man Chen Liangming, Li Rusong's brother Li Ruchun, Duanmu Ruisheng, and Song Zuo, who was appointed by Xiao Yu himself.

These four capitals, except for the old blind man, the other three are all young people under the age of thirty, and they are in a high position in the third rank at a young age, whether they can convince the public is a big question, fortunately, Xiao Yu thought of this while constantly using newcomers, so these four were all arranged in a row, just like the eight female officials of the palace were divided into primary and secondary, and the old blind man was the first capital, from the second grade. Duanmu Ruisheng and Li Ruchun are the second and third capitals respectively, and they are the third products. Song Zuo is the fourth capital, from the third grade. As for the three major palm seal officials of the Dark Guard Mansion, Li Rusong, the governor of the left, the second product of Qu Cangzheng, the second product of the right governor, and the second product of the inspector Tang Chunyu, in the northwest where there is only one positive product, the three of them can be described as extremely popular ministers.

The secret guards are a family of their own, this change has little impact on the Northwest Army, but the strong entry of the Zhongzhou faction has made many Northwest Secret Guards dissatisfied, although it has been pushed forward for a few years, everyone has served under the Governor Xiao Lie, but it is also their own territory, and it has always been well water and river water. Many old people in the Northwest Secret Guard are slandering the prince for being too favoritist, and even let Li Rusong, who came from outside, be the Zuo Governor of the Secret Guard Mansion, and overpower Qu Cang, who was born in the Northwest Secret Guard, doesn't this make our Northwest Secret Guard a head shorter than the Zhongzhou Secret Guard?

The Secret Guard Mansion is divided into the South Mansion and the North Mansion, the North Mansion is responsible for inspection, arrest, interrogation, and assassination, which is commonly known as the detection of the world, while the South Mansion is responsible for guarding its own military discipline. Li Rusong was the official of the seal of the North Mansion, Tang Ruyu was the official of the seal of the South Mansion, and at the same time, 1,500 people were drawn out of the secret guard, as Xiao Yu's secret guard, led by Qu Cang. Whether it is a secret guard or a soldier, they all know that Qu Cang is still one of the most trusted people around the prince.

The Dao Sect cultivators who originally served in the Secret Guard were all classified into the Northwest Dao Gate, while the scattered cultivation was personally controlled by Zi Shuiyang, and as for the Shadow, Evil Tiger, Ghost, Prajna and others, they were still under the personal command of Xiao Yu.

The matter of the secret guard has now settled, and the war in Huzhou has become more and more fierce as the Northwest Army continues to enter Huzhou.

The chaos in the whole Huzhou, the development of the situation has exceeded Luo Zengxian and Xiao Yu's expectations, Xiangyang is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Xiao Yu besieged but did not attack, Xiao Yu besieged the city, Luo Zengxian naturally could not stand idly by, so he continued to mobilize the army to aid Xiangyang, Xiao Yu's Northwest Army naturally did not sit still, and directly fought with reinforcements from all walks of life.

Jiangling City sent 30,000 troops to Xiangyang for reinforcements, and just after Jingmen, it encountered a surprise attack by 4,000 northwest iron cavalry, and more than 20,000 hungry people were defeated in a battle, and thousands of elites wrapped in the hungry people were also scattered in the formation and collapsed. When the leader of the troops saw this situation, he didn't even see Xiangyang City and wiped out the whole army, and it was impossible to escape death when he went back, so he simply gritted his teeth ruthlessly and took his own soldiers to become deserters.

Baokang, the closest to Xiangyang, just sent 10,000 troops out of the city, and was ordered to attack Baokang 5,000 Northwest Army narrow road meeting, after the two sides fought, 10,000 White Lotus "Righteous Army" annihilated, the remaining defenders abandoned the city and fled, the Northwest Army captured Baokang effortlessly.

Yidu's 20,000 troops had just resisted Dangyang, the people were sleepy and the horses were lacking, the front foot was encamped, and the back foot was attacked by the 2,000 Northwest Army that had been in ambush for a long time, and the granary was burned. Who would have thought that the barbarians of Padang took this opportunity to occupy Yidu, ran away from the monks and lost the temple, nothing more.

Luo Zengxian, who sat in Wuchang, sent 80,000 people, including his 4,000 descendants, known as 200,000 troops, along the river all the way north to Xiangyang, when he arrived in Yicheng, he had already secretly surrendered to the Yicheng guards in the northwest and set fire to the ship, and the 80,000 army was burned to ashes, although the loss was not too big, but the morale was completely gone, and many hungry people had begun to flee, followed by the Northwest Army's premeditated encirclement and interception, the 80,000 army died not much, but most of them fled.

Luo Zengxian mobilized the army to rescue on all sides, and then was defeated on all sides, all of them were defeated by the Northwest Army, and fled in all directions, and these scattered White Lotus Sect "righteous army" regained the identity of the exiles, and brought a flow word to the extreme, for a time the entire Huzhou ground was full of bandits, forcing the state capitals to form villages to protect themselves, and ordinary people either became homeless robbers, or became strong people, wearing armor and holding knives, and waiting for the day.

The chaos in Huzhou made a Huzhou Confucian describe it like this: "Most of the military disasters in the past dynasties were in the northwest, so the people in the northwest were fierce." The prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River has few wars and prosperous literary styles, so the people of Jiangnan are harmonious. Now the western army from Shu into the lake, is not contained in the previous history, the white lotus starts in the lake, there are millions of displaced people in the granary of the world, it is also unseen in ancient times, and now Huzhou bandits are rampant, soldiers are everywhere, the people are displaced for it, the living beings are devastated, there is no half an inch of Taiping foothold around, this thousands of years have never had a chaotic situation. ”
