Chapter 227: Yin and Yang: The Old Man
"Hu Shuai, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are still old and strong!" Du Heng said with an embarrassed face, to be honest, Du Heng didn't want to meet in such a way.
"Boy, who is old! Do you want to go out and shoot on a horse with a bow? Yu Geng was obviously dissatisfied.
The two sides finally met under the facilitation of Du Pre, Du Heng's side was represented by Du Heng, Yu Mountain, and dangerous hills and gullies, and Daxuan was represented by Yu Geng, Huo Youzhi and the half-disabled Fang Keming, Fang Keming was originally sent to Changsha for treatment, but he never thought that Fang Keming woke up halfway, and he had to come to Yu Geng's camp, and the soldiers could only send him over.
"The junior Yu Shan has seen the Great Xuan Wu Guogong!" Seeing that the atmosphere was awkward, Yu Shan took the initiative to take on the role of mediating the atmosphere.
Yu Geng glanced at it and said, "Yu Shan? Min Yue Yu's clan? I remember that your family is mainly cultivating the cultural context. โ
"Grandpa Guo is right, but the situation is difficult, and the Yu family has to survive, so they joined the army for some reason." Yu Shan responded respectfully.
"What you said is true, although Minyue is located in a remote area, it has also suffered from wars several times in recent years, which is a pity."
Most of the people present joined the army because of the bad situation, and who is willing to do a good job, and who is not a generation of military generals or martial arts generals, and they are reluctant to embark on the road of military service.
Yu Geng, as the eldest person present, knocked on the table and said, "We are here this time to deal with the affairs of Yuzhang peacefully, and we will save the sad words for later." โ
Everyone was called back to reality by Yu Geng, and Du Heng took the lead in saying: "Hu Shuai, Yuzhang and Xiangtang still have more than 100,000 troops, are your conditions harsh." โ
"Xiangtang?" Yu Geng laughed contemptuously, turned his head to look at Fang Keming, Fang Keming nodded in response, and then Yu Geng said: "Du Heng, your intelligence is not powerful!" This time, there was only Yuzhang, not Xiangtang. โ
Du Heng's expression changed greatly, thinking that Yu Geng was bullying himself, and asked sharply: "What does Hu Shuai mean?!" Do we have to meet on the battlefield?! โ
"Boy, you don't have to threaten me, let me tell you, Xiangtang was broken by our army yesterday, and Du Xin was in the prisoner of war camp, and now it is estimated that he has been escorted to Changsha."
Du Heng was shocked, thought for a while, settled down and said: "Hu Shuai, don't want to scold me, Xiangtang camp has 40,000 troops, the city is strong and the food is sufficient, even if 100,000 people are besieged, it can last for three months, impossible!" โ
Fang Keming said with a gloomy face: "General Du doesn't believe it? Then let's talk about this today, and let's move on when General Du figures it out. โ
After that, all the people on the Daxuan side got up and walked out unceremoniously, and just when the people of Daxuan were about to walk out, Huo Youji turned his head and said with a ghostly smile: "Everyone, you'd better figure it out as soon as possible, otherwise our negotiation conditions will be different tomorrow." โ
Du Heng and the others froze in place, and it took a while for Yu Shan to come back to his senses and say, "General, Xiangtang..."
Du Heng said with a cold face: "Go!" Send someone to investigate and figure out the matter of Xiangtang as soon as possible, I don't believe that San Lang will lose! โ
Of course, things didn't develop according to Du Heng's intentions, but at night, Xiangtang's affairs were clear, and Yu Geng didn't lie to him.
Du Heng fainted again, but this time he quickly woke up, sighed, looked at Yu Shan and said, "Brother Yu Shan, go and tell Da Xuan that we will descend according to their conditions." โ
Yu Shan did not object, because the ending was already in front of him, Yu Shan hurriedly went out, and the rest of the people also went out, leaving only Du Heng and his wife.
After a while, Du Heng stroked his wife's hand and said slowly: "Erlang, there is still the matter in the west that is yours." โ
Mrs. Du was simply and did not evade, and said lightly: "Yes, but I have never revealed anything in our army, just to persuade you." โ
Du Heng smiled, patted her hand and said: "I know, I don't blame you, Daxuan's spies have never disdained this, they have always been staring at people's hearts, I lost this battle unjustly, Ah Yuan, Daxuan promised that I can continue to lead troops, but I don't want to lead troops, what do you think?" โ
"If Da Lang doesn't want to lead soldiers, he won't lead soldiers, do something you like, and I will accompany you." Mrs. Du was very moved.
The war in Yuzhang finally ended without a fight, and the Daxuan army did not use troops against Tangyuan in Fuzhou, which was Daxuan's promise to Du Heng, and it could be regarded as Du Heng's last loyalty to Zhong Roulan.
The news of Yuzhang soon spread to Zhong Roulan, who was far away in Chenjing, Zhong Roulan did not say anything, and at the same time stopped the decision of the ministers to ask for the slaughter of the Du clan, leaving only one sentence: "On that day, the Du clan came from Chengdu to pacify Minyue for our dynasty, and the lone army was stationed in Yuzhang for more than a year, and they were already loyal to Da Chu, and now they have returned to Chengdu, and my Da Chu cannot do unkind and unjust things, and Yu Zhang's loss is in me, not in Du." โ
It was lucky for Tang Yuan, Da Xuan kept his promise and did not move troops to Fuzhou after entering Yuzhang, and Tang Yuan was still confident in the pressure from Daning.
"Father, Du Heng ยทยทยทยทยท" Tang Yao asked cautiously.
Tang Yuan seemed to know what he was going to say, interrupted his son's words and said: "Your Majesty is not responsible, don't say some things anymore, it's our fault, Du Heng has done his best enough, and besides, Du is from Daxuan." โ
"Father, Daxuan Yu Geng sent a letter to his father, hoping to meet you in Zhongling Town, you see?"
Tang Yuan thought for a while, and refused very calmly: "Forget it, tell him that I know what he means, there are some things that can't be forced, and you must be humble in your attitude, he is your elder, understand?" โ
Tang Yao didn't understand what his father meant, but he still insisted on doing it, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, father, Xia Wenyu from Kangshan didn't have any attitude towards his father's letter. โ
Tang Yuan raised his eyebrows, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Xia Wenyu has 20,000 sailors in his hands, Du Heng's approach made him think, do you know who has been to Xia Wenyu?" โ
Tang Yao didn't hesitate, "Father, our people have also paid attention after the past, there are people with Huo Youji, and there are also people from Yu Qingwu." โ
"Hmph, no wonder, the reason why Xia Wenyu dares to be so fearless is that he is alone, second, he is from Du Heng's family, and third, most of the 20,000 sailors in his hands are composed of Minyue pirates, and these people like to do business without capital." Tang Yuan directly pointed out Xia Wenyu's current situation.
"So what do we do? Anyway, the name of Kangshan is still our big Chu. Tang Yao said with some excitement.
"Child, you still can't see the current situation clearly, what is the purpose of Your Majesty's move south, this Central Plains can only belong to one of those two people." Tang Yuan said meaningfully, since Du Heng surrendered without a fight, Tang Yuan had a different kind of thought.
"Father, be cautious!" Tang Yao cautiously looked around and whispered.
"It doesn't matter, there are only you and me in this room, and the servants outside are all our Tang retainers, who are deeply favored by the emperor for their father, and can only serve the Zhong family in this life, you are different, you still have a good life, how can you fight for your father."
Tang Yao became more and more incomprehensible about his father's words, and his face was puzzled and frightened.
Tang Yuan was a little helpless about this son, but the situation forced him to be so confused, he said patiently: "Your Majesty's move to the south is to see the situation in the Central Plains clearly, Your Majesty finally went south, this Central Plains world is Meng Yan or Xiao Yu sooner or later, Meng Yan was originally in the southwest, and Xiao Yu's Daning is only a defensive situation, and now Yuzhang has returned to Daxuan, it is different." โ
"Montessori passes through the barren area in the southwest, and the rich places are only around Chengdu and Hanzhong, and the rest of the places are poor and remote, even inferior to our Dachu, why did my father say this?"
"You sober up, the rich land in my Central Plains mostly relies on the big river and the big river, and now the main control of the big river zone is in the hands of Xiling, everyone doesn't care, the strength of Xiling is not worth mentioning, for some reason the point of contention between Daxuan and Daning has always been on the river, Yuzhang is the demarcation point of the river, Yuzhang belongs to Daxuan, and Daxuan occupies two-thirds of the entire river basin, and the strength of Daning almost doesn't want to go up and down."
Tang Yao thought for a moment, and then suddenly became very frightened, and said: "Father, do you mean that after the battle of Yuzhang, Da Xuan will go south to deal with our Da Chu, and Daning will go north to solve Xiling?!" โ
Tang Yuan took a deep breath and then spit it out, and said with relief: "You finally understand, so I have to plan for our Tang clan." โ
Tang Yao was still stunned, and Tang Yuan continued: "I will ask Your Majesty for an order to let you guard the Luling Tomb in the near future, and you remember that as long as you stick to the Luling Tomb and don't come out, our Tang clan will still have capital, just like the Du clan, understand?" โ
Tang Yao nodded mechanically, Tang Yuan didn't expect him to accept it for a while, waved his hand and let him go down, Tang Yao didn't get up yet, Tang Yuan suddenly stopped him and said: "You go and tell Daxuan over there, so don't dare to disobey!" โ
Tang Yao once again subverted the three views, and all the beliefs he adhered to were lost in this moment, and it was really elusive for his father to refuse first and then invite.
Tang Yuan's reply soon reached Yu Geng's hand, Yu Geng sat by the bonfire and roasted the leg of mutton, and said: "This Yuzhang's sheep is not as good as the one on the grassland, and I have to ask Di Xin's kid to get some leg of mutton for the old man back!" โ
"Hu Shuai wants to eat Di Hou and doesn't dare to disobey, but, Hu Shuai, Tang Yuan actually agreed, this is a bit interesting!" Huo Youji muttered while patting his ass.
"Humph! Tang Yuan is not a fool, the old man's attitude is the attitude of our Daxuan court, and Du Heng's matter is in front of him, he will not be unmoved, those two scholars, you also talk about it, the body like a weak chicken! Yu Geng already had a certain number in his heart, watching Yuan Huaiying and Fang Keming squatting in the corner was extremely unhappy, and the literati were weak, which was vividly reflected in the two of them.
Yuan Huaiying responded with a smile: "The tiger is handsome and mighty, your old letter will shake the top two generals in Southern Chu, good means!" โ
Fang Keming has always been bad at slapping sycophants, and answered with a serious expression: "Hu Shuai, although we have made Tang Yuan think, but we still have to drive Ning Jun out of Jiangyou before we go south in the future." โ
"This is not the old man's business, Master Ma, are you sure about dealing with Yu Qingwu and Xiao Ze?" Yu Geng looked like he didn't care about himself.
"What's the matter, Hu Shuai, are we going to return to Changsha?" Deng Ang came from outside and sat next to Yu Geng.
"Xiangyang Hou, I'm still counting on Hu Shuai to guide me in Yuzhang, you're robbing people?" Huo Youji said jokingly.
They are all acquaintances, they are all old people, they have led their own troops for many years, and it is rare to be together like this, everyone is very casual.
"After the old man saw Tang Yuan, he went to see Zheng Xi's kid, as for you, each of you will return to your place and do your own thing!"
