"Uncle, I'm going!"

Tuoba Hong said goodbye to Dugu Wenqin at the dock outside Jiangzhou City, and from today onwards, his identity is the envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

After Wangbei City returned to the Great Wei, Emperor Ding changed back to the name Jiangzhou of the Great Xia period, and at this moment Tuoba Hong, Li Cunxiao, and Luo Ke led a thousand Futu Iron to ride on the receiving ship of the Great Liang Naval Division, but unlike the Jiangbei War two months ago, all the people and horses were not armored, but the tall real Rome and the tall knight posture all showed people the extraordinary things about this welcoming escort.

Dugu Wenqin waved his hand to Dugu Hong and reminded loudly: "Your Highness, you must be cautious here, the truce between the two countries is a national policy, don't make more complications?" ”

Tuoba Hong replied: "Yes, uncle, I know." ”

Li Cunxiao and Luo Kedi on the side clasped their fists and saluted: "Take care!" ”

Dugu Wenqin nodded, welcomed the escort team on board, and the Liang battleship slowly sailed away from the Jiangzhou dock.

Dugu Wenqin put down his waving hand and said to Dugu Ruomi on the side: "Mi'er, remember what your father said to you yesterday, the Dugu family will always be the retainers of the Tuoba family, not an enemy, no matter who the Tuoba family is the emperor, you have to swear allegiance, understand." ”

Dugu Ruomi nodded: "Father, the child knows!" ”

Dingjiang Liang Guofeng Mausoleum Crossing Water Division Battalion

On the handsome ship, Liu Shigong, a naval officer, stepped forward to report: "Governor, the welcoming envoy of Wei has boarded the ship, and the one who came is the third prince of Wei, King Tuoba Hong of Jin, accompanied by the deputy generals Li Cunxiao and Luo Kedi, and the 1,000 welcoming team are all Futu iron cavalry. ”

Chen Ziang gently put his hand on the railing of the boat, and said calmly: "Shigong, you help Ben Shuai to pick it up, and I will prepare drinks in the Jiangdu Governor's Mansion to catch them." “

Liu Shigong nodded: "Governor, I know, but the minister still reminds me that I hope that the governor will refrain from this matter, if it violates His Majesty's will, it will be unfavorable to the governor, and even more so to the Wu Guogong family." ”

Chen Ziang nodded: "I know the measure, you can go." ”

Liu Shigong turned to leave, and Chen Ziangsong opened his hand on the wooden railing, leaving a clear sunken handprint on the wooden railing.

Chen Ziang's handsome ship left Fenglingdu and sailed towards Jiangdu.

……

Liang water army Fengling crossing, the ferry is built at the mouth of Dongyuan Lake, the left and right villages are connected by eight iron cable bridges and water gates, just choke the mouth of Dongyuan Lake into the Dingjiang River, the merchant ships, fishing boats, and naval warships on the lake and river are endless, and the eight hundred miles of Dongyuan Lake irrigates millions of acres of fertile land on Henghu Road, which is the largest granary in the world, and is also the confidant of the whole Liang.

Tuoba Hong looked at the scene in front of him and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

"Second, third, you see this Fenglingdu, behind it is 800 miles of Dongyuan Lake, there are millions of acres of fertile land, the grain and grass produced is enough to feed five million households, this is just a Henghu Road, Liang has 16 roads, 147 states, 29 million households, six times the population and my dynasty, terrible."

Li Cunxiao replied: "Your Highness, in the past hundred years, the war in the north has not stopped, a large number of people cannot escape, and the population of the north has lost a lot, in fact, in terms of fields, the north is more than the Southern Dynasty, although it is all dry land, but the grain production capacity will not be less than that of the Southern Dynasty, but the Southern Dynasty has almost no major war in a hundred years, and the combat power may be comparable, but the national strength is indeed above my Wei State." ”

Tuoba Hong nodded slightly, his expression slightly dignified.

The warship passed through Dongyuan Lake and was about to arrive at Jiangdu City, where there was a prosperous scene everywhere you looked, paddy fields were all over the place, business travels were endless, boats and boats were shuttling on the river, wine shops and shops were lined up on the riverbank, and the people were wearing mostly cloth clothes, but they all had happy faces.

Tuoba Hong pointed to the scenery on the shore and praised: "What the people want is nothing more than abundant food and clothing, peace and health, and now the truce between the two dynasties is a happy event for them. ”

Luo Kedi replied indignantly: "Big brother, you should know that such a scene can only be seen in our Great Wei in the Eastern Capital and the major state cities, out of the big city, the surrounding land is basically surrounded by Xianbei Xungui, the people there have worked hard for a year, but barely enough to eat and wear, when the year is not good, I am afraid I will have to sell my sons and daughters, bitter, I was a child I joined the army for ten stones of grain, in order to let my grandmother and younger brothers and sisters not be starved to death." ”

Luo Kedi said it in one breath, as if he wanted to vent the hidden resentment in his heart.

Li Cunxiao also said: "The marshal said, but ten years, when the Southern Dynasty rests, I'm afraid there will be a war in Jiangbei, so if Wei doesn't change, I'm afraid the situation that the south is strong and the north is weak will not change." ”

Tuoba Hong nodded: "Second brother, you are right, this kind of malaise has penetrated into the marrow of the Wei State, the nobles of the Northern Dynasty, staking the land, catching the Han people as slaves, when our dynasty was at its most serious, except for those big families who took refuge early, some small villages that lived in seclusion; There are almost no yeoman people among the people.

There are bunkers and hundreds of miles of wilderness.

After his father succeeded to the throne, he promulgated the "Equalization Law", "Pioneer Law" and "Gift Law", declaring that the Hu people and Han people in the north were equal, allowing the pioneer of ownerless wasteland, stipulating that women in the north must marry at the age of 15, and adding more than three people to reduce taxes. Our dynasty is gradually recovering the people's livelihood, but the Xianbei nobles are still like maggots on tarsal bones, sucking the blood of the people of Limin, so if it continues, I am afraid that there is no need for the southern dynasty to attack, and the northern dynasty will be in chaos in less than 30 years. ”

Li Cunxiao: "Big brother, so Your Majesty chose King Qi, hoping to reform with the help of the Hanchen line headed by Dou Xiang?" But without the support of the military, can the reform be carried out, and that will move the roots of the Northern Wei Dynasty? Although the king of Qi has the name of benevolence and righteousness, but in such a situation, he was elected as a promising prince, big brother, you should..."

Takubahong raised his hand so he didn't have to say more.

"Second brother, be cautious, my father has his own plans, we are courtiers, we shouldn't say it."

Li Cunxiao was a little disappointed: "Yes, big brother." ”

The boat went down the wind, docked at the Jiangdu wharf in the evening, Liu Shigong, who joined the army of the Great Liang Naval Division, was waiting at the wharf, when the ship docked, most of the Wei troops stood unsteadily, after getting off the boat, many people vomited on the ground, Liu Shigong's face was as usual, but he couldn't help but think in his heart: "The Northern Dynasty Futu Iron Cavalry is all over the world, but this naval army is still the only one in the world of the Liang State, and the Northern Dynasty cannot go south, but it is not difficult for me to look south and look north." ”

Although Tuoba Hong's faces were ugly, he couldn't bear to vomit, and he got off the battleship with light steps, and Liu Shigong hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Daliang Sailor joins the army Liu Shigong has seen His Royal Highness the King of Jin and two generals. ”

Tuoba Hong returned the salute: "Thank you Liu for joining the army to welcome you." ”

Liu Shigong continued: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, the contemptible people came to greet His Highness on the order of the Governor of Chen. In the evening, our Governor Chen held a banquet in the Dushi Mansion to receive you. ”

Tuoba Hong replied: "Thank you Governor Chen, Lord Liu for your trouble." ”

Master Liu waved his hand to lead the way: "Your Highness, please come with me." ”

Lead everyone to the post house

Luo Kedi immediately asked Tuoba Hong: "Big brother, this Chen Ziang invited us to the banquet, I'm afraid there will be no good banquet." ”

Li Cunxiao said: "The two armies have negotiated peace, and Chen Ziang should not dare to mess around." ”

Tuoba Hong smiled and said, "I think he's here to ask for something." ”

Luo Kedi asked: "Big brother, what did Chen Dudu ask us for?" ”

Tuoba Hong said with a smile, "Today he must want to fight with us, although it is not too much, but it is inevitable that he wants us to lose face, but I have prepared two things to gag his mouth, Daliang is known as the state of etiquette, and this Chen Ziang is one of the four horses of Daliang, he will not lose his face." ”

Luo Kedi touched his head and said with a smile: "It's still the big brother's stake!" ”

Li Cunxiao on the side said with a smile: "Big brother, I'm starting to look forward to tonight's Hongmen banquet." ”

In the Dushi's Mansion, Chen Ziang asked Liu Shigong: "Shigong, are you sure it's them?" ”

Liu Shigong nodded and said: "Dudu, although the Futu Iron Cavalry is covered with armor, and there was a mist that morning, according to the intelligence, it was Tuoba Hong and the three of them who brought the Futu Iron Cavalry to break into the Chinese army that day. ”

Chen Ziang sneered: "Then treat them well tonight." ”

Liu Shigong advised: "Governor, now that the two countries have negotiated peace, Your Majesty has released Major General Qian Yi, we should not have another incident, if we cause trouble, I am afraid it will affect the governor." ”

Chen Ziang waved his hand and said: "Ben Shuai is measured, but I want to ask them for something, otherwise Ben Shuai will have no shame to see his teacher under Jiuquan in the future." ”

In the evening, Tuoba Hong, Li Cunxiao, and Luo Kedi took more than ten guards to ride to the Dushi Mansion, and when they walked into the Qianfu Street in front of the Dushi Mansion, they saw that all the white sails were hung along the street, and there was a soldier wearing white armor every three steps.

"Dashuai, the soul is back!"

"Dashuai, the soul is back!"

"Dashuai, the soul is back!"

Tuoba Hong said to Li Cunxiao and Luo Kedi with a serious expression: "Is this leading us to sing on stage?" ”

Li Cunxiao nodded: "Big brother, what do you want to do?" ”

Luo Kedi disagreed: "What are you afraid of, if you want to fight, you can fight!" ”

Tuoba Hong waved his hand and said, "I can't fight today, because the things I gave them can't move this hand." ”

Before the three of them walked to the Metropolitan Mansion, Chen Ziang led the crowd to greet them at the door, opened the middle door wide, and put out a team to welcome the prince, but what was played was not a welcome music, but mourning music.

From the gate of the Dushi Mansion into the lobby banquet, all hung Lingyi, in the middle of the hall actually placed a mourning hall, and the one hundred and fifty steps into the distance, on both sides arranged more than 200 halberd-wielding warriors to stand on both sides, murderous!

Tuoba Hong and a dozen guards at the back door of the three horses escorted a carriage with a painted nanmu coffin on the carriage, as well as personal soldiers holding gift boxes and sword boxes.

Chen Ziang didn't take the initiative to greet him, and looked at Tuoba Hong opposite, and suddenly hundreds of soldiers around Chen Ziang suddenly shouted in unison: "Dashuai, the soul is back." ”

All the generals drew their swords and struck them in the chest.

"Dismount! Enter the house to pay tribute to the handsome! ”

"Dismount! Enter the house to pay tribute to the handsome! ”

"Dismount! Enter the house to pay tribute to the handsome! ”

Tuoba Hong looked directly at Chen Ziang, Chen Ziang did not speak, looked at Tuoba Hong with sharp eyes, and let the surrounding soldiers shout.

As soon as Tuoba Hong raised his hand, Li Cunxiao, Luo Kedi and more than ten horsemen and guards all dismounted, Tuoba Hong finally turned over and dismounted, Tuoba Hong walked to Chen Ziang's side, stepped forward and said coldly: "Chen Dudu, this is the reception banquet you arranged for this king?" This is Liang Guo's hospitality? This is how you treated the envoys of the Wei State? ”

Chen Ziang replied with a sinister face: "300,000 Beikui troops, 10,000 Futu iron cavalry, and plotting, you Wei people have good means, shouldn't you kneel down in front of the spirit of the Bendu Governor to apologize?" This is the etiquette of our Liang people, the etiquette of Ben Shuai, and the etiquette that Ben Shuai must respect as a disciple! ”

Tuoba Hong nodded and said: "Governor Chen, the two countries do not judge heroes by success or failure, and they don't care about any means, this king admires the heroes of Wu Guogong, so today this king has something to give to the governor, and the governor may wish to take a look." ”

Chen Ziang didn't speak, Tuoba Hong waved his hand, and his own soldiers brought the carriage, sword box, and gift box over.

The sword box opened, and there were two swords lying inside

Tuoba Hong: "Wu Guogong is equipped with a sword Qiankun sword, and this king will send it back!" ”

The gift box was opened, and there was Kyushu Mingguang armor lying inside.

Tuoba Hong: "Wu Guogong is paired with Ming Guangkai of Kyushu, and this king will send it back!" ”

The carriage pulled over.

Tuoba Hong pointed to the coffin on the carriage and said: "Wu Guogong triggered the heavenly punishment, my generation of martial artists, the pursuit of the peak of martial arts all his life, if it were not for the war between the two countries, Wu Guogong would definitely be able to survive this catastrophe, Wu Gong died in heaven, leaving only a few bones, and now the bones will be returned." ”

Chen Ziang walked over and stroked the Qiankun Sword, the Kyushu Mingguang Armor and the coffin containing the bones with his hands.

Kneeling down with tears in his eyes, he shouted loudly: "Welcome home!" ”

All the generals knelt down and shouted: "Welcome back!" ”

Chen Ziang knelt down and kowtowed three times in a row, then got up and ordered the soldiers behind him: "Put the coffin of the handsome man into the mourning hall, welcome the marshal with a sword, and enter the mourning hall with a battle armor!" ”

The soldiers behind him are promised!

Move the coffin, accessories, and armor into the mourning hall.

Chen Ziang came to Tuoba Hong, his face was slightly relaxed, and he bowed and said, "Thank you King Jin for giving your teacher a ride!" ”

Tuoba Hong replied: "Chen Dudu is serious, the lonely king respects the heroic martyrs of Wu Guogong, this time the two countries have formed a truce, and they must send Wu Guogong back to the country, Chen Dudu is so filial piety, and the lonely king is deeply admired." ”

Tuoba Hong turned back to his soldiers and said, "Unload your sword, enter the mansion and bow down to Wu Guogong!" ”

Tuoba Hong took off his saber in front of Chen Ziang and handed it to Chen Ziang.

And Li Cunxiao, Luo Kedi, and more than a dozen personal guards all unloaded their swords.

Tuoba Hong raised his hand: "Governor Chen, please lead the way, let this prince sacrifice Wu Guogong!" ”

Chen Ziang smiled slightly and stretched out his hand: "King Jin, please!" ”

The two took the lead, and everyone entered the Dushi's mansion, and when they entered the mansion, the halberd array that was originally erected, Chen Ziang raised his hand, and all of them dispersed.

Chen Ziang turned back to Tuoba Hong and said, "Your Highness, forgive me, please!" ”

……

After Tuoba Hong worshiped Wu Guogong, he left after the banquet, and Chen Ziang came to the Wu Guogong Mourning Hall, and the ranking of the mourning hall said that the god of the late Wu Wuyi Gong Qian Wei was written.

Yesterday, the news that His Majesty Jiandu had given Wu Yi the name of Wu Yi for his mentor had reached Jiangdu, and Chen Ziang had just arranged the mourning hall, and at this moment the mourning hall was equipped with the Qiankun Sword and Kyushu Mingguang Armor.

Liu Shigong came in and walked into the mourning hall: "Dudu, King Jin is gone!" ”

Chen Ziang: "Tuoba Hong is a character, so it is inconvenient to arrange this handsome, and what he does also makes the soldiers unable to find fault, this person should have greater ambitions." ”

Liu Shigong: "Governor, the position of the crown prince of the Northern Dynasty has not been decided, this King of Jin may not have a chance, and if the Northern Dynasty is in chaos because of the competition for the throne, the Governor has the opportunity to take the opportunity to recapture Jiangbei." ”

Chen Ziang: "The battle between Liang and Wei is not in Jiangbei, but in their own interiors, wait and see what happens, when King Yong passes by Jiangdu, take a good look, although most of the court thinks that King Yong's departure has been decided, but I don't think so, Your Majesty should have a backhand." ”

Liu Shigong: "What the governor said is reasonable. ”

Chen Ziang: "Shigong, from tomorrow onwards, the whole army will sacrifice the teacher, the whole army will bring white, and the commander will want to see who dares not to come, and the public sacrifice will be over on the seventh day, and someone will be arranged to help the coffin of the teacher to build the capital." ”

Liu Shigong nodded: "Let's do it." ”

After Liu Shigong left, Chen Ziang knelt on top of the mourning hall, cut his fingers with a sword, and wrote a name on a white silk cloth: Dugu Wenqin! I will kill them.

Burn it with fire in front of the tomb of Wu Guogong.
