Chapter 67: The Bloody Battle of Qutang (1)
Almost at the moment when Li Xian finished giving the order, Chen Zhi understood that Li Xian's goal had never been the two cities of Jiangxia and Jiangling, and his fundamental goal was the 100,000 Wu army, and he took the Bai'er soldiers and Li Xian's 8,000 halberds to board the ship and go straight to Yidu County, which was to cut off the southern return route of the 100,000 Wu army, and once the Qutang Gorge was blocked, it was different from Han Xin's ten-sided ambush strategy back then, and he only felt that his blood was agitated at the moment.
Before Li Xian boarded the ship, he ordered all the sergeants to receive a small bottle of Yunnan Baiyao, and explained that if there was any discomfort, it should be applied to the temples immediately, so that there seemed to be very little seasickness along the way.
Inside the Kirin's cabin.
"Hanxing, how long have you been laying out this plan?" Chen Zhi asked with interest.
Li Xian said expressionlessly: "Probably the beginning of receiving the general order to crusade against Eastern Wu." ”
Chen Zhi just shook his head and said, "Hanxing, your plan is too bold and too risky. If the defenders of Yidu find out, I'm afraid that their achievements will be wasted! ”
"That's why I brought my uncle," Li Xian responded, "This raid on Yidu is to catch them off guard, and even if they can't succeed, they can also mess up the hearts of the Wu army." ”
Chen Zhiyan said: "Then the governor himself has gone out of the city, who will Yong'an be handed over?" What if Yong'an fails? ”
"With Li Yan in charge, don't worry." Li Xian said slowly.
"Positive? Didn't he take a break for a while? Chen Zhi looked at Li Xian incredulously.
Li Xian just smiled and said: "The virtual is real, the real is virtual, the soldier is treacherous." Uncle Shi, what you see may not be true, just like what we see may not be true. ”
......
In Yong'an City, Li Yan's Mansion.
"Uncle, today Li Xian's army is out of the city to fight, why not take this opportunity to dedicate Yong'an City to Wu Jun, and when the time comes, with his uncle's prestige in Sichuan, it will be Liu Beiye!" Gou An said sonorously.
Li Yan was shocked when he heard this: "Why do you have such an idea!" How could the emperor have treated me Li Yan badly, even if he succumbs to that Li Xian today, it is also the divine grace of His Majesty today, how can you be allowed to talk nonsense here! ”
Gou An seemed to be very confident, and said bluntly: "That uncle! Don't blame Gou An for being rude! Immediately, I saw hundreds of armor soldiers rushing in outside Li Yan's mansion, and immediately pressed the defenseless Li Yan left and right.
"You.... You're going to rebel? ”
Gou An took a sip: "Uncle! What kind of things are Zhuge Liang and Li Xian! Looting Sichuanzhong and killing doctors without permission, today is going to let Li Xian taste the loss of Guan Yunchang in the past! ”
"An'er, turn back! You are by no means Li Xian's enemy, if you don't know how to wake up today, I'm afraid that it will be too late! Li Yan didn't know whether he was distressed or desperate, only to see two lines of tears had already fallen.
"Don't worry, uncle, I have arranged for someone, in the tone of my uncle and Tian Dali, I wrote about Li Xian's rebellion, it is estimated that it should be on His Majesty's leading case at this moment, even if Li Xian becomes a fish and shrimp in the river today, he will only bear the name of a traitor and a traitor, and no one will rehabilitate him, hahaha!" Gou An smiled coldly, "Those fifty military sticks are owed to me by Zhuge , let that Li Xian pay back his life today!" Gou An then burst out laughing again.
"Let's turn back!" Li Yan still shouted.
"Shut his mouth up!" Gou An ordered, "Go and change all the flags at the head of the city for me, and tell the governor of Quancong that Gou An surrendered the city, and the general of the Zhengfang party set up a banquet to celebrate the success of the governor of Quancong!" ”
"Yes!" Several of Gou An's pro-soldiers stepped forward to take the order, and they were about to get out of the gate of Li Yan's mansion, when suddenly arrows kept shooting straight from outside the gate of the mansion, hitting the throat of one of the pro-soldiers.
Gou An was shocked: "What's the situation! ”
"Gou An! You've fallen for the trick of my family's governor! Don't get down soon! But when he heard that the door of Li Yan's mansion had been slammed open, Gou An was shocked, but he saw Xu Zhenyi rushing in with people who looked like ordinary people.
Gou An was still taken aback just now, and when he saw these dressed sergeants, he couldn't help laughing: "I thought that how many soldiers and generals Li Xian would have waiting for me, but I didn't expect it to be all miscellaneous pieces!" Hahaha! When I went around, they didn't have any armor, and they all chopped me up! ”
"Yes!"
Gou An's personal soldiers were like wolves who heard the order, and rushed forward to fight hard, but they never expected it, only to hear Xu Zhenyi sigh, and slowly chanted like a mantra: "Tonight, the pearl color, when it opens with the full moon, I can't imagine that this metropolitan governor even has such a poetic secret order, and the night owl camp listens to the order!" Gou An is extremely pro-soldier, and no one remains! ”
"Yes!"
The dead soldier of the night owl camp sneered, pulled out the hook lock from his arms, and threw it straight forward, as if he had installed the positioning, he directly lassoed the front row of Gou An's personal soldiers, but he was dragged to his own formation in an instant, and stabbed him wildly, this time it was Gou An's turn to be shocked again, only to feel that his eyes were black, his legs were weak, and he couldn't stand up.
In a short time, hundreds of Gou An's personal soldiers were all hanged and killed.
"Gou An! What else do you have to say? Xu Zhenyi stepped forward and asked sharply.
Gou An shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I just want to know when Li Xian found out?" ”
But as soon as Xu Zhen stepped forward, he raised the knife in his hand, and accompanied the head of Gou An who flew out, and he didn't even have time to close his eyes, and shouted: "The name of the governor is also worthy of being called by you!" Tell you, from the moment you got a baton, someone was watching you! ”
As soon as Xu Zhen killed Gou An, he immediately stepped forward to untie Li Yan's shackles, and said: "The governor ordered me to make amends to the general, I was offended by my words the day before yesterday, and now Yong'an City relies on the general." ”
Li Yan smiled bitterly and nodded, and said: "The day before yesterday, I sang a double reed with the governor, in order to lure out the traitors in the city, but I never expected that it would be An'er, that's it, hey, I also raised him so big, I have never been willing to beat him since I was a child, let me collect his body today." ”
Xu Zhen nodded and said: "The governor has instructed that as long as the general can keep Yong'an from losing, no matter what the conditions, he can agree." ”
Li Yan hid his face and wept, and soon sighed again, and said straightly: "Okay, bury him in the White Emperor City, I'm afraid that the first emperor will reproach me, the first emperor loves loyal ministers and good generals, so bury him by the river." ”
.......
In the city of Chengdu, above the hall of Shu Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, these Mizas are absolutely not credible! If there is a change of commander in battle, and Yong'an is lost, the door in central Sichuan is opened, and my country is in danger of losing the country! Guo Youzhi had already kowtowed.
"But the letter above is true, saying that Li Xian rebelled and drove Tian Dali to death, and Tian Dali is really dead, can this be fake?" Liu Chan was a little puzzled.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Li Xian dared to kill the doctor without permission, as for the rebellion, it is not impossible, it must be Your Majesty's grace and honor, which makes him arrogant and arrogant, such a traitor and a thief, you must not kill!" Yizhou doctor Qin Mi said in the foreword.
Guo You's head slammed on the ground: "Your Majesty, that Li Xiannai is a general appointed by the prime minister, if he wants to rebel, why don't he vote for Great Wei and Eastern Wu?" ”
"Is it certain that the prime minister will be accurate when he looks at people? The prime minister looks at people accurately, will there be any loss of street pavilions? As for the argument of opposing the Eastern Wu Dynasty, it must be that the Eastern Wu allowed him to be a high-ranking official. Qin Mi immediately stepped forward and said.
"Your Majesty, the minister can't say that Doctor Qin, but, that Li Xian will never vote for Wu, if His Majesty insists on recalling that Li Xian, the minister will ......" Then Guo Yuzhi took off the mountain official hat on his head, "The minister will die on this hall!" The words were sonorous, and all the ministers in the hall were shocked.
"Guo Aiqing, what's the trouble?" Liu Chan said helplessly, "Jiang Wan, Fei Yi, what do you two think?" ”
When Jiang Wan heard this, he straightened up his solitude, raised the guard, and stepped forward to say: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the key to Li Xian's rebellion at present lies in this letter, and only by identifying the authenticity of these letters, you can judge whether this Li Xian has rebelled or not. ”
Fei Yi stepped forward and said, "The minister thinks that what Lord Jiang said is very true!" ”
"According to what Qing sees, how to identify the authenticity?" Liu Chan asked.
Jiang Wan arched his hand and said: "As long as you find someone with extremely high calligraphy attainments, you will definitely be able to find the flaws." ”
Hearing this, Liu Chan hurriedly asked, "Who has a very high calligraphy attainment?" ”
"In the past, General Yide's calligraphy was unparalleled in the world, and his second son, Zhang Shao, had the legacy of General Yide, who could be ordered to look at it and be able to distinguish the authenticity." Jiang Wan said.
"Hurry up and pass Zhang Shao into the palace! Also, you put all the letters on weekdays, as well as Tian Dali's. ”
Fei Yi said in the foreword: "Your Majesty, this Zhengfang general has a lot of ink, but this Tian Dali's ink is really not easy to find, I only heard that his grandfather ran a crutch craft in Chengdu, but he is old, I am afraid that he will not remember, or he will not be able to withstand the blow of his grandson's death, and I am afraid that it will be more difficult to obtain evidence at that time." ”
This woke up Liu Chan: "By the way, a few months ago, Tian Dali was not a big wedding, why did he forget it today, go and call Tian Dali's wife, just say that you need Tian Dali's words." ”
"Yes!"
.......
Inside Wu Guotian's prison.
Sun Quan sat on the ground with Lu Xun in plain clothes, Sun Quan was the first to speak, and said, "Bo Yan, do you know why I want you to go to prison? ”
Lu Xun shook his head coldly and said, "Your Majesty, the minister really doesn't know, please let Your Majesty know." ”
"You shouldn't be, you shouldn't be, you want to be blackmailed by me." Sun Quan said lightly.
Lu Xun had to smile bitterly: "Your Majesty, the minister has never had the intention of coercing, let alone the intention of self-respect, just ....."
"Just what?" Sun Quan asked.
"It's just, Your Majesty, the crown prince is orthodox in the current dynasty, even if Lu Xun dies today, there are Gu Yong, Zhang Zhao, and Buzhi, hasn't Your Majesty thought about the defeat of Yuan Benchu and Liu Jingsheng in the past? If you abolish the long and young, the catastrophe of my Wu country is not far away! Lu Xun kowtowed.
"Enough! This is my family's business! Leave you to worry? Sun Quan shouted angrily.
"Your Majesty, the minister has no intention of colluding with the prince, but it is fundamentally a national plan, and the Son of Heaven has no family affairs!" Lu Xun said earnestly again.
Sun Quan got up suddenly, obviously his face became more and more difficult to look at, and said slowly: "You are outside the army today, and you can still control the prince, if the prince succeeds to the throne in the future, who can control you!" ”
In the past, this was not His Majesty Wu who talked and laughed with him after the Battle of Yiling, but more like a different person, and his words shocked him speechless.
"Bo Yan, if future generations talk about it, then I will fail you, but I will never allow Cao Cao and Wang Mang to appear in my Wu Kingdom, maybe you are not today, but once you ascend to that position, your ambition and your desires are uncontrollable beasts, he will burn your heart itching, he will force you to go forward and forward, like a ghost, so that you can't eat and sleep." Sun Quan said.
When Lu Xun heard this, he was already in tears, but he couldn't refute it, so he had to say: "Your Majesty ......"
"I don't believe it, my horse will be worse than my brother's horse!" After that, he brushed his sleeves and left, leaving only the desperate Lu Xun curled up in the corner.
