Chapter Eighty-Five: Burning the Heart with Fire
Wuling County Shoufu.
"Dudu, this Liu Chan means that he wants to negotiate peace, but he has the conditions." Zhuge Jin said slowly after drinking a cup of tea.
Lu Xun's face was as usual, and he continued to ask: "Then what conditions did he prescribe?" ”
"Liu Chan wants the heads of Pan Rui, Mi Fang, and Fu Shiren." Zhuge Jin arched his hand and said.
"I'm afraid this Liu Chan is not crazy, isn't it that the governor burned it hard enough! Dare to mention these conditions! "The generals under the tent came in a hurry, and you shouted every word......
"Dudu, won't General Chun Yudan's revenge be avenged? Could it be that what about the 30,000 soldiers who died under the city of Yong'an, and now they want us to hand over the heads of these three people, it is simply a fool's dream. ”
"That is, if it weren't for Li Xian's trickery to replace the governor that day, the battle of the day would not have been won or lost, and it was all to blame for the ..... raised by a bitch."
......
"Okay, generals, the military account discussion, or pay attention to the image, especially if Doctor Zhuge is still here, how can he say such vulgar words." Immediately afterwards, Lu Xun got up, bowed to Zhuge Jin, and said slowly: "Doctor Zhuge is tired, please tell Your Majesty Lu Xun has been fighting for Your Majesty for several years, fighting with Li Xian, and his heart is over, and he really has no heart to think about anything else, but the family has the eldest son, the state has a prince, and His Royal Highness Sun He is the eldest son of His Majesty's grandson, and please Your Majesty be magnanimous, if you blindly check and balance the court, I am afraid that people with ulterior motives will take advantage of the loopholes." ”
Zhuge Jin shook his head and said: "The governor doesn't know, since the governor led the army to go on the expedition, His Majesty opened the imperial examination system, regardless of background, you can pass the county examination, the state examination, and the palace examination, the first two hundred can be officials, or Beijing officials, or foreign officials, Your Majesty personally killed a stag when hunting, and changed the year name Longxing, and now the inner and outer scholars of the court all sing the praises of Your Majesty's great prosperity and governance, which is the holy lord." ”
Lu Xun nodded and said, "This matter has long been known to the Governor of Bendu, but why Mr. Zhuge doesn't seem to be very happy, this is a good thing." ”
"Governor, if you talk about the family and the country, it is a good thing, but in this way, the family that originally supported His Royal Highness Sun He has basically lost its wings, and the post of Zhongzheng official is useless, and now the first batch of scientific examination students have entered various places as officials, and now the Zhang family, which is illustrious for a while, can still have some status in the court, Your Majesty still looks at his thin face, I am afraid that this Dongwu will not disappear for a few years, these families will decline, and there will be open and secret battles above the court, and the power of His Royal Highness Sun He is only afraid that it will be reduced by His Majesty." Zhuge Jin shook his head and said.
Lu Xun said: "Doctor Zhuge , you also know that only the eldest son is the orthodoxy of the country, not to say too much, but that the son of heaven has no family affairs, the family and the country are all over the world, and I hope that Dr. Zhuge will mention His Royal Highness the prince more, and you must not lose the position of the prince on impulse, if I am in turmoil in Wu, how can the soldiers fight with peace of mind." ”
Zhuge Jin arched his hand and said: "What the governor said is very true, the governor's words must be brought in the future, and he will return to Jianye to discuss and succeed in the future, and the governor also has military affairs in his body, so he will not bother here." ”
Lu Xun nodded and said, "Then it's not far away, by the way, Doctor Zhuge , bring His Royal Highness King Lu outside the tent back, Governor Pontus doesn't want to see him." ”
Zhuge Jin sighed and said, "Yes, Du Du." ”
......
Changsha City.
"Governor, Yiling Zong sent a letter in advance, saying that He Qi saw that Changsha was lost, and directly turned around and attacked Yiling, and now Yiling's troops are empty, and General Zong is fighting hard. Should we go to help? Chen Zhi reported.
"Don't worry, I have sent Zhao Tong to support with the wolf soldiers, presumably He Qi should return to Wuling at this time." Li Xian just replied calmly.
"So what's the governor going to do next? Will we continue to attack or will we hold out? Chen Zhi asked.
Li Xian looked at Chen Dao, then looked at his hands again, and asked, "Uncle Shi, I have a question for you." ”
"Governor, please speak." Chen Zhi said.
"If you walk down the road and there is always a dog that wants to bite you all the time, and you give him good food at the beginning in the hope that he won't bite you, but the dog not only eats the food you give, but also continues to bite you, what will you do?" Li Xian asked casually while wiping the Qingyu Sword in his hand.
"Of course, it's a dog, beating him until he doesn't dare to bite again." Chen Zhi replied.
"Does Uncle Shi understand what I mean?" Li Xian's gaze suddenly became fierce and sharp, and he looked straight at the Qingyu Sword in his hand.
"But Du Du, our army has fought viciously repeatedly, if we continue to fight like this, I'm afraid that Wei will reap the benefits of the fisherman!" Chen Zhi arched his hand.
"Don't worry, Uncle Shi, Zhu Ran of Jiangling is not so stupid, he will sell Jiangxia and Jiangling to Wenpin, the Yangtze River moat has to be achieved for ten years, and the Wei State cannot be done." Li Xian patted Chen Zhi's shoulder and said with a smile.
"But this morale can't withstand such a continuous attrition, I'm worried that there will be turmoil in the army that has been fighting, plus the governor has been very strict in the past, if these soldiers will fight for a long time, I'm afraid it will ..... I'll be angry. Chen Zhi swallowed his saliva and said.
Li Xian nodded silently, what Chen Zhi said was not unreasonable, but it was precisely the morale problem that was most likely to be exhausted in long-term combat, and it was by no means easy to talk about morale in one or two sentences, unless there was really a substantial reward, just like after Changsha broke the city, the banquet lasted for three days, but there were many soldiers who were not happy at all, and went to worship the sacrificed Liu Lao Sanbu with Li Xian.
"Governor, do you have a plan?" Chen Zhi asked again.
Li Xian shook his head and said, "There is no strategy, but I know that the next one should be a decisive battle between me and Lu Xun." ”
"Decisive battle?!" Chen Zhi's eyes widened, and he was even a little incredulous, "Why did the governor say this?" ”
"In a multi-year battle, there is always a winner, and the next stop, either he dies or I die." Li Xian still said lightly, but at this moment, the house was unusually quiet, and you could even hear the geese chirping outside the window.
"Governor, if it is really a decisive battle, our army will even fight a fierce battle, I am afraid that the morale of the army will be exhausted when we fight again, I am afraid that it is really not suitable for a decisive battle at this moment." Chen Zhi said helplessly.
"Uncle Shi, it's not that I think about it, but Lu Xun thinks about it." Li Xian still said with a faint and expressionless face.
"Why did the governor say that? Could it be that Lu Xun lost a city and was going to fight a decisive battle? Lu Xun is not like a person who can't hold his breath, when the emperor scolded him in every possible way, he could hold back and drag it out until the summer, and then ....... fire" Chen Zhi didn't dare to say any more, he was still silent.
Li Xian suddenly smiled: "Uncle Shi, what if I give him back a fire?" ”
"What do you mean?" Chen Zhi was a little curious, but he also wondered why Li Xian, who had just said that he had no strategy, suddenly said such a sentence.
didn't wait for Li Xian to answer, but he heard a voice, "Report!" ”
The herald glanced at Chen Dao, and Li Xian said, "It's okay, just say it." ”
"Yes! The governor, General Deng Zhi said that the peace negotiation was successful, and he asked the governor to decide. ”
Li Xian suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, then stopped, and immediately ordered: "Tell the whole army that Changsha City has been abandoned tonight, and the whole army will withdraw to Yiling!" ”
Chen Zhi was in a trance and asked, "Dudu, isn't this appropriate?" This Changsha was bought by the sacrifice of countless soldiers, how could it be given as a peace talk? ”
Li Xian shook his head: "Uncle Shi, you just tell the whole army that after we negotiated peace, Wu Guo forcibly demanded Changsha, and His Majesty was forced to sign a peace agreement, and when the time comes, our army will retreat into Yiling, and I will have my own way." ”
When Chen Zhi heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he instantly woke up: "Could it be ......"
"Shhhh Uncle Shi, remember to return to Yiling Road, each battalion has more stoves, from the original ten people to one fire, now five people one fire. ”
"Order!"
"In addition, there is a letter here, Uncle Shi, you send a fast horse and bring it to the sect in the starry night, the sooner the better."
"Yes! However, Du Du, this strategy can be hidden from others, and I am afraid that it will be ....... Lu Xun" Chen Zhi said a little uneasily.
Li Xian also said lightly: "Uncle Shi, the matter is man-made, whether this plan is successful or not, it has been decided, and we will never do anything to change the order overnight." ”
"Yes! Then the general went. ”
"Go, Uncle Shi, the weather in the south has been a little cooler recently, Uncle Shi pay attention to your body." Li Xian waved his hand.
"Xie Dudu cares, the last general's body is still strong, and he can fight very well!" Chen Zhi smiled and turned to leave.
After Chen left, Li Xian also took out the letter sent from Chengdu from his arms, from the beginning of his parents' words more, to now his wife has more words, it is nothing more than some words of hush cold and warmth, Li Xian is also very impatient to reply one by one, after all, it is a good thing to have someone to worry about when this battle is coming, but the decisive battle is imminent, and he can't write some other words, obviously Li Xian's mind is not on this.
"Forget it, tell her." Li Xian's thought struggled, that is, he wrote: "The lady sees the words like meeting, fortunately very much for the prince of you, but the Central Plains soldiers have been burning for many years, rarely returning home, every time the moon is full, often worried, now for the Han Dynasty, although he does not hesitate to die, but the enemy general Lu Xun, wisdom and strategy, not than in the past, is not a strong opponent in the world, every time he fights against it, often fearful, even if there is a good strategy, every time he is recognized, now there is nothing to do, he wants to fight with it Yiling, thinking that this place is a new place, if he wins, he will definitely drink wine with his lady in Rongcheng, if defeated, He was buried with 70,000 heroic souls in one place, and those who were taken care of were the ears of the king and his father, who could not repay His Majesty's kindness, and could not fulfill the filial piety of the son of man in front of his parents' knees. ”
After Li Xian finished writing, he carefully folded it and put it into a brocade bag, and found a small silver hairpin from the box on his right hand, and wrote: "As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win countless in the world." ”
"Send it away." Li Xian sighed and said to the people below.
"Yes!"
