On the tenth day of the first month, the Han army arrived at the Yuanjiang River in Hanshui and attacked Guoluo County in Changsha.

Guan Ying knew that in the south of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, listened to the tune and did not listen to the announcement, and was able to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and it was good not to help the king of Changsha and the Han army. The domestic roads in Changsha were completely destroyed, and the Guangdong army was familiar with the terrain and was the best at field warfare.

"His grandmother's," Guan Ying couldn't help but reprimand in the tent, "as if every time the Han army attacks, these turtle grandsons know where we are going to send troops." ”

"General Guan," the adjutant general hesitated, "Do you think it's because someone secretly reported the movements of our army to Wu He?" ”

"You mean," Guan Ying has also experienced many years of fighting in Chu and Han, and he is bold and careful, squinting his eyes and saying, "There are fine works in the Han army?" ”

On the second day, in the tent of the Han army, Guan Ying pointed to the map and said to the generals, "The army and soldiers are divided into two roads, one from Han Yichun to attack Ancheng County, the other from Wuling to attack Zhaoling County of Changsha State, and then the two places are combined into one, pointing directly to Linxiang, the capital of Changsha State......"

After the army was launched, five days later, it did not appear in Ancheng as originally said, but appeared in Ai County with the reinforcements of Chu State, attacked Xiajun City of Changsha State, and defeated the rebels who were caught off guard, and sang all the way to Linxiang.

That night, a banquet was held in the Han military camp to celebrate, and the infant was put on armor and entered the account, rejected the wine offered by the general, and said in a deep voice, "Today's victory is certainly worth rejoicing." But Ben had to deal with one thing before he could congratulate everyone. He commanded sharply, "Come on, take down Xu Xiang." ”

The white-clothed Confucian with a smile on his face pushed away Ying Sheng stepped forward to fill the baby guard, and said solemnly, "I am the imperial history of Your Majesty's imperial order, who dares to arrest me at will?" Baby, you are so bold, do you want to make trouble? ”

"I'm not the one who wants to make trouble. It's you, right? Guan Ying sneered, and arched his hand in the direction of Chang'an, "My Guan clan is loyal to Your Majesty, but you are Xu Jian Jun and live up to Your Majesty's trust." The day before yesterday, General Riben arrested a person, I don't know if you know Xu Jianjun? ”

The Guan clan army escorted a scarred brown-clothed man, and kept kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, which was the person who Xu Xiang entrusted the secret letter to Wu He, the king of Changsha, a few times ago.

Xu Xiang straightened his back, his face was like snow, and he suddenly smashed the wine in his hand at the baby. scolded sharply, "You were just a Suiyang peddler back then, stealing a high position. With an army of 100,000 in Changsha, a small country, who do you really think you are? ”

Rao is baby flashing quickly, after all, a few drops of residual wine were splashed on his face, and he touched it, and he couldn't help but be angry. angrily pulled out the hanging sword in his waist and was about to kill Xu Xiang, but was desperately stopped by the strategists on the side.

"General Guan, Xu Xiang is not, in the end, it is the imperial history of the supervising army appointed by His Majesty, and the general must not deal with it recklessly. You might as well take it in a prisoner's car and send it back to Chang'an to be disposed of by Tingwei. ”

"You don't have to go back to Chang'an." Xu Xiang hurriedly said, "If you have a kind, you will correct the Fa on the spot, if I frown." is not surnamed Xu. ”

"Hehe," Guan Ying also came back to his senses at this time, and said with a smile, "What's your surname, ask your father, what does it have to do with me?" Come. He shouted, "I will treat Xu Yushi as a good student." Escorted back to Chang'an. ”

In the small cell of Chang'an Tingwei, Xu Xiang was lying on the couch, watching a ray of moonlight pouring in from the small window of the cell, so he smiled slightly, reached out to hold it, but did not touch anything.

"The criminal Xu Xiang?" The yellow gate in the cyan eunuch dress entered with the edict of the county official.

"Xu Xiang, here." Xu Xiang bowed.

"Your Majesty has sent me to ask you a few words, why have you been blessed with such a disobedient thing?"

"Yes, I'm sorry Your Majesty." Xu Xiang bowed deeply to the ground, and then thanked Jun'en, and then never opened his mouth to defend himself.

After listening to the Huangmen eunuch's reply, Liu Ying waved his hand and asked him to step back.

Liu Ying recalled that on the day his father was dying, he was sick in front of his father's bed, and his father gasped and told him that the first thing he would do after succeeding to the throne was to find a reason to remove Xu Xiang. People who see the world too thoroughly will not be truly loyal and patriotic in their bones, and if they occupy a position of power, they will have chaos.

He refused to believe it, and even refuted it to his father, and after succeeding to the throne, he urgently used it for Xu Xiang, and never doubted it. But at this time, I couldn't help but think that Jiang was always old and spicy, and today's events verified my father's assertion.

"Xu Xiang and Changsha conspired against the king, and their crimes should be punished, but they can die later." Xuan Tingwei made a statement in the hall.

"Can it be lighter?" He asked, hesitantly.

"Your Majesty," Xuanyi glanced at him in surprise and retorted flatly, "If you come out from above, you can be sentenced to hanging lightly." Xu Xiang is blessed with holy grace, but he does this rebellious and difficult thing, if he is not severely punished, how will he follow the example of the world in the future? ”

Liu Ying was silent for a moment, Xuanyi said that the principle of holding the country, for the Son of Heaven, the most serious crime is treason, if even this can be lightly forgiven, then the world will follow suit, and in the long run, the country will not be a country.

"Go down." Liu Ying waved his hand and said, "Let me think again." ”

He sat on the couch, and the color of the Huai River in the eleventh year of the Han Dynasty suddenly came to his eyes, and there was the smell of grass in the dark night of Huiyong City. At that time, Xu Xiang was still young and vigorous, and he impassionedly prayed to himself, "The prince will be a benevolent monarch in the future." ’

He tried his best to be a benevolent gentleman in his mouth, Ze was the world, but Xu Xiang betrayed the oath of the day. He thanked Xu Xiang for his generous statement in the Luhou Mansion and regarded him as a friend, but Xu Xiang abandoned that friendship.

If he was willing to listen to his father's instructions that day, today, on the Han River, how many soldiers of the Han army who have left their hometowns do not have to bury their bones for a long time?

Thinking of this, his heart hardened, and he took the judgment of the court lieutenant, and replied on it, "Do what you do." "Because of the agitation, a drop of ink was dropped at the end of the chapter. After thinking about it, he added another line of words, "Ling Chi is too heavy, you can send him off with wine." ”

"What," Xu Xiang smiled when he heard the sound of the prison door being pushed open, "Your Majesty has dealt with me?" Is it beheading, or hanging? ”

"Your Majesty is really kind-hearted," Ting Wei Cheng said with a smile, "I only gave you a glass of wine." Take your orders. ”

Xu Xiang's expression moved slightly, and he muttered, "The sinner has failed the grace of the saint, and he doesn't dare to say goodbye, but I hope that Hou will be alone, and wait for a while." ”

"It's all about this time," Tan Li said impatiently. "Do you expect someone to save you? Save it, drink it yourself, and don't let the jailer pour it for you. ”

Xu Xiang smiled slightly.

Tan Li was about to change color, and suddenly heard a subordinate outside calling, "Talk about adults." ”

"Someone outside the Imperial Lieutenant's Office asked to see the prisoner Xu Xiang."

Tan Li changed color and said, "You are a fool, do you want to let anyone see anyone who comes to see him?" I dispose of Xu Xiang by His Majesty's will, if he is Xu Xiang's relatives and friends, he will collect the body later. ”

"But," said the warden aggrieved. "It's a woman, and besides, she has His Majesty's token in her hand."

Zhang Yan took off the vertebral cap on her head. Glaring at Xu Xiang, he hated iron and reprimanded, "I don't understand, why did you give up your good future to help the king of Changsha." ”

all these years. She helped Xu Xiang gain a firm foothold in the court all the way, although she did not retaliate, but she also regarded it as a confidant, and when she heard that he had destroyed the Great Wall, she almost fainted in anger, and she was angry. "Changsha Country, do you really expect them to compete with the Han Dynasty?"

Thinking with his toes, he knew that it was impossible for Hanting to agree. Liu Ying is unlikely to agree.

Changsha is different from South Vietnam, South Vietnam is because it is a legacy of history, and the Han Dynasty has not freed up his hands to solve it, so Zhao Tuo is free, Rao is so. Zhao Tuo is also only the king in the country, and he is still a minister to the outside world. But Liu Yingruo tolerated Wu He's separation of Changsha from the Han border. Then the majesty of the Great Han Kingdom will be lost. If the princes and princes follow Wu Helai's hand in the future, how will the Tui En Order be implemented?

When people are about to die, they no longer have the heart to be afraid, Xu Xiang sat uninhibitedly, looked at Zhang Yan's angry and bright cheeks, and said with a smile, "The queen is still the most beautiful when she is angry." ”

"You ......" Zhang Yan jumped to her feet angrily.

Xu Xiang looked away and said with a smile, "Xiang Bucai, when he is about to die, it is really an honor to be sent off by Empress Zhang!" ”

"You haven't told me why." Zhang Yan asked reluctantly.

"Do you really want to know?" Xu Xiang asked him.

"Nature." Zhang Yan raised her delicate chin.

"I just hate the way you look at you." Xu Xiang suddenly pointed at her viciously.

"I went from a white Ding to the history of the supervising army, and others seem to be noble. But how much of this is due to my own intellectual talent? ”

"No, when you count it, there is not a single one."

"The battle of the Huaihe River is your guidance to Empress Zhang, and the new agricultural method is to look at Empress Zhang's handnotes, drawing scoops little by little. You begged Your Majesty to let me make this Taixue sacrificial wine, standing in the high position I am now, and I didn't even rely on my own merits. In this way, even if I do three public and nine qing, what is the point? I fornicated with Changsha just to prove that I Xu Xiang can also do a little bit of what I want to do. ”

"Xu Xiang," Zhang Yan rushed back to her throat in one breath, her chest hurt, she took a step back, her eyes widened and said, "I never forced you to do anything, if you don't want those credits, as long as you say a word, there are so many people in the world who want to ascend to the sky in one step, I'm afraid that I can't find anyone to take the credit?" ”

"Yes." Xu Xiang suddenly smiled weirdly, "How could I not want to?" ”

He used to be very conceited, thinking that what he was missing was just a little luck, as long as he took advantage of this girl's edge to walk to the stage, he would naturally be able to show his ambition with the talent in his chest.

It took a long time to understand that he had read "Spring and Autumn" and "Shangshu" badly, and he was just a dead thing, and if he wanted to do things exquisitely in the officialdom, it was an abyss step by step, if he had no political achievements, who would put himself in his eyes?

This deep sense of frustration simply made him shameless. I love and hate that smiling girl. loves her smart and sensitive, hates her for being high, but if he doesn't listen to her words, how can he occasionally see the beauty in the deep palace?

In the end, he just said, "What fool would refuse to be promoted and make a fortune without much effort?" ”

Zhang Yan said coldly, "Since you want benefits yourself, don't chirp with me here." "Walk away.

Seeing her back walking away in a negative mood, Xu Xiang smiled bitterly and sat down down.

Hearing Tan Li's cold voice, "Xu Xiang, now, you still drank your bar." ”

Xu Xiang smiled slightly, took the wine freely, poured a glass of wine, drank it with his neck tilted, and slowly curled up into a ball.
