Langya Prefecture, since ancient times, has formed the land of the four wars in Hebei with the three states of Baiyang and Jiuhe.

Among them, the location of Langya Prefecture is the most important, known as the north and south rush, the field of horses, the weight of the critical, the spring of sages, the old land of emperors, all of which can be summed up in one sentence:

The gains and losses of wolf teeth are related to the rise and fall of the country.

Therefore, the British led the troops eastward, and the base camp was set up outside the state capital of Langya State.

He personally sat in charge of the wolf's tooth and commanded the joint offensive of the imperial court officers and soldiers against the rebels in the three states.

At the same time, it is also convenient to return to Zhongzhou and enter Zhongjing very quickly once there is a change in Zhongjing.

After he left Beijing, he arranged for the government to send envoys to report the news every day, and he did not hesitate to change horses along the way, so that the news could be transmitted to him within one day.

I believe that this will not be just his choice, Xiao Fengshan will also guard against his actions.

Once the seeds of suspicion are planted, they cannot disappear unless one side is completely eliminated.

Early in the morning, the British Duke woke up from the barracks outside the state of Langya, ate breakfast slowly, and sat down in the big tent, but the letter he was expecting did not appear on the desk.

Because events and accidents often happened at night, the British messenger was required to leave early every morning and arrive in the army the next morning, and the letter would be placed on his desk after breakfast in England.

This is the rhythm that has become familiar for two or three days.

But today, he didn't see the familiar letterbox.

He frowned slightly, and the pro-soldier on the side spoke: "Xu is delayed, grandpa doesn't have to worry." ”

The British Duke was not too worried, no matter how big the matter, with the ability of the British Prince, it was not easy for the other party to seal all the messengers, he was not afraid of not receiving the letter, but afraid of receiving a letter with bad news.

has been in a high position for many years, and no matter how mediocre his ability is, it is impossible that he does not have this bit of qi cultivation effort, and the British Duke began to prepare for the day step by step according to the slight doubts in his heart.

As the head of the counterinsurgency in Sanzhou, he really didn't come out to travel and relax.

Fighting for peace in the land of the three states, and establishing relations with the local wealthy families by the way, are all things that are extremely in his personal and factional interests.

This is also one of the main reasons why he is willing to agree to Xiao Fengshan.

Therefore, he did not slack off, the military situation was reviewed, the military order was issued, and the arrival was ushered in, and he was busy for more than an hour.

When he was done and asked his own soldiers, and learned that the messenger had not yet arrived, he couldn't help but start muttering a little in his heart.

Nothing will happen, right?

Many thoughts flashed through his mind.

Is Xiao Fengshan quietly lurking back to Beijing?

No, he has his own eyeliner by his side, but he will know it whenever he acts.

That is, that fool of Your Majesty took the initiative to instruct the patrol battalion and the forbidden army to do something to his own faction?

It's possible, but the patrol battalion itself has people, and there are so many noble subordinates, how can it be that the news can't be spread all of a sudden?

In his big tent, there were also three or four representatives of the local family of Langya State.

After being co-opted by the British duke and choosing to take refuge, they naturally stayed in the army to serve, serving as a clerk under their accounts, showing their support and winning a military merit along the way.

Seeing that the British Duke looked a little uneasy at this moment, a man with a goatee took the initiative to say: "Ming Gong doesn't have to worry too much, the forces of all parties in Zhongjing are intertwined, and the patrol battalion that controls the city gate also has cronies under the command of the marshal, and it is impossible for either party to completely isolate the news, it must be that the messenger encountered something on the way, so he is just late." ”

The British Duke nodded, "This is reasonable. ”

"Report! Handsome! The Kyochu messenger is here! ”

As he finished speaking, a message sounded outside the door, and soon a dusty messenger walked in quickly, knelt down to him, and held up the letterbox, "Grandpa, Beijing is in an emergency!" ”

When the British public heard this, he stretched out his hand to pass the letter box, and asked anxiously, "What's the matter?" ”

But the messenger looked at the rest of the people sitting in the tent and hesitated.

"They are all confidants here, so there is no need to avoid them!"

The means of inviting people to buy people's hearts and minds are naturally easy for people like the British public who have been in the top positions since childhood.

"Go back to Grandpa! In the name of revenge for the first emperor, the king of Jiaodong raised troops to rebel in Beijing, and Yue Pingwu, the general of the Central Protector Army, and Shang Zhicheng, the former commander of the forbidden army, raised troops in response! The Qin family is full of dead soldiers, and thousands of people are besieging the palace! ”

Hearing the silence in the big tent, the British public's hand opened the letter for a moment, and immediately asked, "What is the result?" ”

The messenger shook his head, "I don't know, after learning about the incident, I was worried that the city gate would change, so Steward Liu asked the little one to go out of the city to report the news as soon as possible." Presumably, there will be a messenger arriving in the future. ”

The British Duke opened the letter, read it silently, looked at the messenger who was still kneeling on the ground, suppressed the irritability in his heart, and said: "It's hard work, go down to receive the reward and rest!" ”

When the messenger left, he looked at the people in the tent, "What do you think?" ”

"Don't worry!"

A man arched his hand and said: "According to the letter, there are only more than 1,000 of them, there are 3,000 forbidden troops stationed in the palace, and there are 20,000 soldiers in the patrol battalion, all of whom are controlled by Ming Gong and Xiao Xiang, and His Majesty is also in the middle palace, and the palace is high, and the rebellion can only disturb people's hearts and cannot set off any storms." ”

The other person opened his mouth and agreed, "Yes, this matter is still a good thing for Ming Gong, the king of Jiaodong County leads many anti-thieves with his banner, such as Surabaya and Yunmeng, which are all his henchmen, and now there are even more elbows and armpits in Longshou Prefecture." Now the king of Jiaodong County has thrown himself into the net, if it can be decided in a battle, the military heart of the rebels in Sanzhou will be lost, and the overall situation of the world can be determined! ”

The British Duke shook his head slowly, "This Duke is thinking, there are three states outside the king of Jiaodong County, and he is also assisted by people with good reputation such as Su Zongzhe, so why would he take the risk of acting in Zhongjing?" What does he rely on? If you say that there is no trust, do you believe? ”

He lightly tapped the letter on the table, "And, you don't know, there is also a name mentioned on it, Xia Jingyun." This person dared to enter Beijing, and the matter was by no means as simple as being enthusiastic. ”

"Haha! Ming Gong is too worried! The man who was the first to speak before said with a smile: "I have also heard of Xia Jingyun, but a scholar in the countryside, clinging to Concubine De in order to be lucky, relying on the momentum of the first emperor to balance the court situation, he has done a few things, and he has gained a little fame." But in the next view, it's just a little clever, in this kind of court situation, what is Aneng's ability? When two armies face each other, a sergeant can kill them with a spear. ”

"Yes! The reason why the king of Jiaodong sent troops is not complicated in my opinion. The root of it is that Ming Gong and Xiao Xiang were not restrained by Surabaya and Yunmeng Prefectures, and decisively sent troops, first swept the north, and then tried to advance later. Such a magnificent situation made the Jiaodong County King and his family unable to see the opportunity for victory, so they had to take risks, trying to take advantage of the absence of the two of you in Beijing to raise troops and make a rebellion. However, it was a dog jumping off the wall in a hurry, and He Laoming bothered. ”

These people are one by one, if it weren't for the fact that the British public knew that the Xia family child was not so simple, they almost believed it.

He waved his hand, "Your words are quite reasonable, this is already yesterday morning's news, the matter is a foregone conclusion, we can't do anything, there is no need to panic, wait for the result!" ”

"Ming Gong rest assured, he has full confidence in the next place, and it will be a good news for the pacification of Beijing later!"

The British Duke glanced at the man who was swearing and patted his chest, and silently looked at the letter in his hand again.

But in a moment, there was another hurried horse's hoofs outside the tent, and it seemed that the messenger had arrived!

A messenger, who was more tired than the previous messenger, rushed into the tent, and suddenly stopped talking under the expectant eyes of the British Duke and the others.

The British Duke has already practiced makes perfect, and said directly: "They are all their own people here, there is no need to avoid it!" ”

After receiving the words of the British duke, the anxiety and panic on the messenger's face resurfaced, and he said in a continuous voice: "Grandpa! The patrol battalion and the forbidden army defected, and after the bloody battle led by the king of Jiaodong County, he attacked the palace city, His Majesty was captured, and now the hundred officials have entered the palace to congratulate! ”

Rumble!

It was like a thunderbolt crashing on everyone's heads, making everyone forget to mock the fool who swore before.

In today's world, although there is a lot of turmoil, but the Great Xia has been established for more than 300 years, and its legal principles and legitimacy have not completely collapsed, and it has a huge attraction in the hearts of the people.

In this way, these people are willing to follow the British Duke, not because the British Duke has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, but because the grandson of the British Duke is now the emperor's younger brother and the justifiable prince of Great Xia, and this title alone can save them ten years of detours.

But now, the other party has snatched the throne in the name of avenging the first emperor, His Majesty has changed, and the royal brother of the king of Linjiang County has naturally lost the reason for his existence, so how should they deal with themselves?

There was an eerie silence in the tent.

The British Duke stared blankly at the letter in his hand, at the accurate news stamped with his own seal, and muttered in his mind:

Lost? How could it be lost?

Is Xia Jingyun a goblin or an immortal, can this make him win?

How did he win?

What now?

At this moment of dead silence, the goatee slowly got up, "Ming Gong, this matter may not be a disaster!" ”

The buzzing British Duke cast an expectant look at him.

"Ming Gong tried to think, when the first emperor died, why did the crown prince not encounter any obstacles to his accession to the throne, so smoothly?"

After Goatee threw out a question, he didn't wait for anyone to answer, but asked himself: "Because the crown prince is the prince, and he is recognized as the next emperor." ”

He looked at the British Duke and smiled: "So, isn't the current prince the emperor's younger brother?" ”

The British public's eyes lit up, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

"Now that Your Majesty has been captured, the emperor's younger brother is the rightful prince, Ming Gong only needs to wave his army back to Beijing, set things right, and help the emperor's younger brother ascend the throne, who in the world can say anything? This is justified and logical! ”

"Even if it is Xiao Xianggong, because His Majesty was captured by the traitor, he will not stop him, and he will even raise troops to help."

"Now the reinforcements of the traitors are far away in Surabaya and Yunmeng Prefectures, not in Jinggi, there are few soldiers in Beijing, and there are clan relatives and nobles who think that they are internal aid, maybe Ming Gong only needs to enlist the troops under the city of Beijing, and someone will send the heads of the king of Jiaodong and his henchmen to Ming Gong! Then the big thing is decided, and the great cause can be accomplished! ”

A few words, the British public heart is surging!

He looked at the goatee appreciatively, "I'm as young as a fish in water!" ”

He waved his hand, "Gather all the generals in the army!" ”

In a short time, all the generals in the army arrived.

The British Duke looked around and said in a deep voice: "You are all the generals of the handsome, the handsome has just received an urgent letter from Beijing, the traitor Dongfang Bai, in the capital, attacked the palace, intended to rebel, do usurpation, such a thief, his crime is monstrous, everyone will be punished!" Now that the situation is critical, the society is worried, I will, immediately lead troops back to Beijing, rescue His Majesty and the emperor's brother, and the battle will be decided! If you can capture Dongfang Bai alive, then the world will be at peace! Do you have any objections? ”

The generals look at me and I look at you, and they all know in their hearts that if you dare to say half a word, it may be the end of the sword and axe and the head in a different place.

But think about it from another angle, if there is a change in the capital division, your majesty has an accident, the British princess who has the power of the army, and has the support of the nobles to support the emperor's younger brother to ascend the throne, it can almost be said that it is justified, and everyone can also follow the great benefit of a chicken dog ascending to heaven this time.

After thinking about this, everyone came out of the queue, knelt on one knee, and said loudly: "I wish to follow the handsome!" ”

With this neat shout, the atmosphere in the big tent suddenly began to become high and hot.

The British duke pulled out his sword and unsheathed it, and said in a deep voice: "Straighten out the soldiers and horses, and immediately teach the class!" The goal is to achieve great things! After the deed is completed, the glory and wealth will be shared with all the kings! If this oath is violated, there is such a case! ”

After saying that, he cut off a corner of the case with a sword!

Everyone's hearts were agitated, and they clasped their fists together, "I wish to be handsome!" ”

"Report! A messenger has arrived! ”

With a shout, a messenger rushed into the hot tent.

Lu Rusong was full of ambition at the moment, and said directly: "Here are all handsome henchmen, what is the news, tell me directly!" ”

"Grandpa! Oh no! Mo Da Mo Er took His Royal Highness the King of Linjiang County to avoid trouble, but unexpectedly he was captured by the traitor and was already escorted into the palace! ”

In a word, it is like a basin of cold water poured on a flame that has just been lit.

Lu Ru, who was holding a long sword and posing, was stunned;

The goatee with a smile on his beard was silly when he saw that the morale was available;

In the big tent, everyone who had just finished swearing with excitement was completely numb.

Just now he said that he wanted to help the king of Linjiang County ascend to the throne, and the person who turned his head was arrested.

How can the enemy be so cunning and so shameless!

is still glorious and rich, and now the head is gone.

In the dead silence, another message sounded outside the tent, "Marshal, a team of court officers and soldiers has just arrived, but they only handed over a few documents, and then said that they had something to go to the state city, so they left in a hurry. ”

The depressed atmosphere in the tent seemed to have found an outlet for catharsis, and the goatee glanced at the British duke who was still dumbfounded, and said, "Present it." ”

The sergeant hesitated and handed over a few papers.

The goatee took it and offered to help hand it to the British duke.

Hearing that his grandson was arrested, it was the British duke who was guarding against chaos and waved his hand, "Look at what is written." ”

The goatee opened it and glanced at it, and his face changed, "Ming Gong, let's take a look." ”

The British Duke finally couldn't help it, "If you want to see it, you can watch it, and if you want me to know it, you can read it!" Ben Shuai's grandson has been arrested, can there be worse news than this? Yes? What are you afraid of! ”

Am I not yours at this time? Goatee looked at him again, and that was what you said.

"For the new emperor to conquer the world."

"The first emperor Shengde was in power, the merit district was Yu and the thief was Ming by the mound, and he was favored by the tree, and he was in the Eastern Dynasty. The thieves Lu Rusong and Xiao Fengshan relied on each other and rebelled together. ”

The faces of the people in the tent changed suddenly.

"The first emperor thought that the royal family was not built, and the family was in a hurry, so he concealed it, did not show its provocation, and induced and instructed, hoping to change the sound. He Wu is mad and unrelenting, and he will help each other with evil, and finally rebel. Since the birth of the people, they have not heard of any misfortune. ”

Soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, and then silently bowed his head.

The British man gritted his teeth, and the green tendons on his neck were exposed.

"The first Holy Spirit Ze, knotted in the hearts of the people, against the great number, the heavenly reason, the fatherless country, the world has no one. Now the king of Jiaodong County, Dongfang Bai, avenges his father. The thief is clear in the palace, and the righteousness is in the capital. ”

The face of the British Duke quietly turned red, and then gradually turned purple.

"Today's thieves have it, but there are thieves Lu Rusong and Xiao Fengshan who are at large, and they should spread the word to the world, and gather people with lofty ideals in the world to fight it together! The culprit of the chiocular and the shame of Shaoxue. The situation is ugly and unrelated, and people and ghosts are back. It will be like pouring fireflies into the sea, crushing eggs in the mountains, and the success can be expected! ”

Burst!

The British Gonglu spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

When there was a mess in the tent, Goatee silently read the rest of the words:

[Now the general trend has been completed, the prestige has been received, the cheap has changed due to meritorious service, and the snow is tired; If something is not obtained, it can be disobedient, and second; If there is a guard, the party will be a murderer, and the punishment will be unforgivable, and five cases will be killed. The subject of rewards and punishments is like the sun and the moon. The original fire is burning, the foreign body is the same as the ash, fortunately for many blessings, and there is no regret. The book is announced, and the salt makes it known. 】

The gaze is faint, like a fire with thoughts, beating quietly.

——

Sixiang Prefecture, Liang County, near the border of Longshou Prefecture.

After three days of rapid marching, Xiao Fengshan had caught up with the large army yesterday, and after resting for the night, he took 5,000 elite horsemen to attack first, crossed the entire Sixiang Prefecture, and came to the front of the Birdtail Valley.

Looking at the place where this story once began, it seems that the blood of the rebels has not yet been completely turned into nutrients for the coming year, and it still shows a dry brown color on the surface of the ground, Xiao Fengshan's thoughts have a moment of trance, will this be a reincarnation, which means the end of this story, or is it just an ordinary passing, and those dreams can go on for a long time?

Xiao Fengshan shook his head, dispelled the emotions that should not appear in his mind, and began to look up at the Sparrow Tail Valley in front of him.

"My lord, what are we waiting for? Didn't you say that the soldiers were fast, why didn't you just rush over and go to Gaocheng County to catch them off guard? ”

Xiao Fengshan squinted, "Do you know why this place is called Sparrow Tail Valley?" ”

Everyone around him looked at each other, not knowing why.

Xiao Fengshan said calmly: "Because there are many sparrows inhabiting the forest here, and there are often sparrow tails falling on the ground, and over time, it is called the Bird Tail Valley by the locals." ”

The left and right became more and more unclear, Xiao Fengshan held the horsewhip and pointed ahead, "But look at it, in the forest ahead, where are the birds rising and falling, I am afraid that there are ambushes in the forest, just waiting for us to rush into it." ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and Xiao Fengshan had already ordered: "Send two teams of scouts to investigate, and the rest of the people will rest for a while, and they will not unsaddle up!" ”

The two teams of scouts quickly set off, followed by several screams and roars.

Then the scout Pegasus retreated, "There are ambushes!" ”

Xiao Fengshan and his subordinates were all immediately on guard, and the eyes of everyone around him who looked at Xiao Fengshan became more and more worshipful.

If it weren't for the determination of the adults, they would really rush in, I'm afraid they would have to kill and injure most of them!

A lieutenant general said with a smile: "But now that the ambush has been discovered, we are not afraid!" ”

Xiao Fengshan was silent because he heard the sound of hooves.

There was a slow, unmessy sound of horses' hooves.

The rest of the people gradually heard the sound of hooves and looked at Taniguchi in unison.

The sound resounded from the valley, and with the help of the echo of the valley, it was like stepping on the hearts of everyone, creating a breathtaking majesty.

A young horseman took the lead and appeared in front of everyone, he looked at Xiao Fengshan from afar, with no regret on his face that the ambush was lost, and said with a smile: "Lord Xiao is worthy of both civil and military skills, it seems that this military merit is not so easy to take!" ”

Xiao Fengshan frowned slightly, "I haven't seen you before, who are you?" ”

The young rider owed a little on the horse, "No army, Xia Yunfei." ”

No Army?

These three words instantly plunged the other side into a commotion.

Xiao Fengshan also frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Jiang Yuhu said that Wu Dangjun will not participate in this matter!" He's breaking his promise! ”

Xia Yunfei shook his head and said lightly: "What did Jiang Yuhu promise, what does it have to do with me Xia Yunfei?" ”

He looked at Xiao Fengshan, "You killed the monarch and usurped the throne and stole power, wouldn't you not know that Xia Jingyun was my cousin?" I'm an older brother, come to support my brother, is there a problem? ”

These words made the court sergeants on the opposite side talk a lot, and the originally tightly lined up military formation was also a little loose for a while.

Xiao Fengshan knew that in the face of the Wudang army, he couldn't be careless, so he immediately shouted in a deep voice: "Whole army!" ”

With the bullet pressure of the military discipline officer, the team gradually quieted down.

At this moment, two fast horses approached from behind the formations of both sides, almost in no particular order, and delivered an astonishing message to their respective commanders.

Different from the whispers on Xiao Fengshan's side, Xia Yunfei's head, the messenger directly said aloud: "General Xia, the Jingshi is urgent, the king of Jiaodong County has started an incident in the city, captured the palace city, captured the puppet emperor Dongfang Ming, and successfully ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne with the support of hundreds of officials!" ”

The words flew through the open space between the two armies and fell into the ears of everyone, making everyone's expressions change violently.

Xia Yunfei thought about it and directly ordered a few words.

Soon, the cavalry behind Xia Yunfei shouted in unison, "The puppet emperor has been captured, the new monarch has been established, surrender quickly, disarm and don't kill!" ”

The shouts of thousands of people in unison, with this amazing news, completely shattered the hearts of the troops under Xiao Fengshan's command.

Once again, there was an inevitable commotion in the formation, this time more violently than before.

Xia Yunfei pointed his spear and roared angrily: "The enemy's courage has been lost, charge with me!" ”

"Surrender quickly, disarm or kill!"

The cavalry behind him stepped on the wind and thunder, roared the command of death, and rushed towards Xiao Fengshan.

The terrifying momentum is like the wind blowing in the face at this moment.

Seeing this, many readers should have guessed that the prototype of Dongfang Ming was Liu Shao, the crown prince of Liu Yilong during the Liu Song Dynasty. Therefore, when I wrote the last essay, I wanted to write it myself, but the original article in history "For the Ancestors of the World" was really good, so I didn't make an axe, so I roughly changed it and sent it up.

ps: The update time is a little late in the past two days, forgive me.
