Chapter 243: How Can a Hero Be Alone?
Between the spiritual seats on the tribute table, the voice chattered, and Li Tiangang on one side glanced at the long incense burner that was half burned, got up and went to the back hall, and when he came out, he had an arm-thick incense in his hand.
Drag a small bronze tripod from the small courtyard on the side of the temple, light a big incense and insert it in the tripod.
Extend the hours to the emperors.
As the words of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fell, there was a short silence on the tribute table, and Liu Xie, who had gray sideburns, turned around and said weakly: "Your Majesty, immortal worship and I will build a temple here to reappear in the world, how can we also contribute to help him get through the difficulties." ”
"I don't need you to say this, I know it. Although I Zhu Wen has a bad character, I am also a thief who talks about righteousness on the mountain. Zhu Wen's spiritual position spoke first, and his voice was rough: "If I, Zhu Wen, can come out, I will hang a knife on my waist and carry my head, but we can only watch now, can we still jump out of the coffin?" ”
"All of a sudden, it's really unexpected." Zhao Kuangyin's spiritual position shook and took two steps, "Xirong people have learned smartly this time, and they chose this key point to give us a knife." ”
"Speaking of which, you men have ideas." Wu Zetian's voice was long, "Don't let my immortality hurt." ”
Syllable!
Wu Zetian's spiritual position was directly flicked on the table by Li Shimin's fingers, and his gaze swept over the spiritual positions of other emperors, "Go on." I agree with Emperor Han Xian that so many of us emperors get together, which is not only a fate for you and me, but also a credit for immortality. ”
"What do I think...... You've become our leader. Han Gaozu's spiritual position came from a slightly unhappy tone, "If you want to talk about doing things, how can you let the First Emperor speak." ”
"It's Liu Jihei's most powerful."
Bang!
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty suddenly shook the table, and his voice was majestic: "I spent some incense and gave a token for the time being, but I can only use it once, and for a period of time in the future, I will stay below and don't come out to speak." ”
"Actually, I am very relieved to be able to meet your majesty." Liu Bei, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke, and he arched his hand towards Li Shimin and Cao Cao, and then gave up the spiritual seat on the tribute table.
"I'll leave it to me here."
"Xuande, what do you mean?" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment.
"Let my second brother and third brother succeed in the first battle and lay the foundation for the Central Plains!"
He said.
"Xuande!" Cao Cao was slightly moved, looking at Liu Bei who was hanging his head, he pursed his lips and squinted his eyes for a while, "Do you remember that Gu Zeng cooked wine with you and talked about heroes?" ”
"Remember!"
"Haha!" Cao Cao suddenly laughed and looked up at the dome of the temple, "Lonely and Xuande are heroes!" ”
He looked at Liu Bei, from the acquaintance of the yellow scarf to the last meeting in Hanzhong, scenes flashed in his memory.
"How can a hero be alone!"
……
Outside the Jongmyo Temple.
"This battle must be fought, Yantang Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Xirong people want to break through the pass, Lei Tong is also a battlefield general, how can he let the barbarians take a step beyond Lei Chi!"
Under the eaves of the palace, Su Chen's voice was mixed with the chirping of cicadas.
"I thought that Gu stabilized the Central Plains, destroyed the four countries, and freed up his hands to concentrate on dealing with Xirong and completely solving the troubles in the north, but it seems that the other party did not give me a chance...... Now that my three troops and horses have been dispatched, and they are recovering the remaining three states in the Central Plains, it is impossible to issue a document for them to withdraw, I have been preparing for so long, I don't want to give up halfway! ”
He walked past everyone's gaze, stood at the other end, looked at the sky shining outside the eaves, and narrowed his eyes.
"But I'm afraid that if I leave Luyang, those scholars will be ready to move, after all, they will give me a note of Ma Wei, and Luyang will definitely leave an army to guard it. I intend to let the Qingzhou Army stay, and only take the Youyan Army, the Slave Army, and Wenhou's wolf cavalry back to the north. ”
"So fast?"
Xiahou Yuan frowned, his original idea was to return to the north with Su Chen, but he didn't expect to be left behind, but since the other party said so, he had no choice but to take the order, "Lei Tong is Zhang Yide's deputy general, his martial arts and command of the army are good, so he won't lose the pass, the king is still ready for everything, and it's not too late to go north." ”
At this point, Lu Bu also nodded, although he was arrogant, he saw through the shackles in Baimenlou's heart back then, and he was no longer as conceited as before, "Xiahou Miaocai's words are not unreasonable, after a long journey, you can't fly over, the three soldiers and horses on the Central Plains have recovered Sanzhou, and Luyang is guarded by the Qingzhou army, so there will definitely be no loss, but the Xirong people are there...... A certain family happened to wrestle with them! ”
"I can't go with Junyi, Wen Hou will kill more barbarians for me!" Xiahou Yuan arched his hand heavily.
Zhang He also arched his hand, "Me too!" ”
They have been here for a long time and have gradually gotten used to it, so they naturally don't want to see Yan Country invaded by grassland barbarians.
"This is not to be announced in advance, and martial law is temporarily imposed on the post house and the ferry." Su Chen turned his head to look at the generals who were also looking at him.
"Let's reorganize the soldiers and horses, there are still a lot of horses left in Zhao Chuanting's cavalry before, I intend to expand Wenhou's wolf cavalry, and General Zhao's white horse Yicong, in addition, form a team of 3,000 horses, hand them over to Qin Qiong and Zhang Yu, and go north together!"
The generals arched their hands in silence.
On the afternoon of the second day after receiving the news from the north, dozens of Lingqi carrying orders rushed out of the imperial city, making the atmosphere in Deluyang even more tense.
On the ninth day of the ninth month of September, a group of Confucian scholars were confirmed to have accepted favors from others and deliberately instigated and undermined the national policy.
The nephew stepped forward, his hand raised and fell, and the Confucian students who were kneeling in a row suddenly fell to the ground. Zhou Fangru was in the second row, his eyes wide open as he watched the head of a corpse fall to the ground and fall forward, his face was so frightened that his lips were trembling slightly.
Soon, he was pulled into the front row, tears falling down his face.
Before leaving, Zhou Fangru shouted under the execution platform: "Regret not being at the beginning-"
The blade fell, and the human head fell to the ground with a thud.
The people at the entrance of the bazaar watched this scene with great interest, and in fact did not care about the sentence that the scholar shouted when he was dying, and some even threw stones at it.
After finally surviving the war and chaos, life gradually improved, and these Confucian scholars were fine, criticizing the government and government, preaching the theory of untouchability, and not wanting their children to go to school to read and write.
Now that he was killed, he didn't shout "kill well" for the sake of the same Wei people in the Central Plains.
At the same time, when the execution was carried out in the city, the military camp outside the city was already secretly mobilized, and the Wei soldiers who were doing coolies to help build roads and bridges began to be recruited.
In the camp ten miles long, thousands of horses were driven here from the horse farm on the outskirts of the southern part of the city.
Central Plains Luyang was busy in a tense and orderly manner.
……
North, Yantang Pass.
The banners of 'Yan' and 'Xia' fluttered on the pass, and a group of horses was running outside the pass, Lei Tong was wearing two gears of iron armor and a black cloak, looking at the Xirong cavalry who were inquiring about the situation in the pass.
According to the information from the scouts, there are about eight tribes on the other side, of which three are ten thousand tribes, two medium-sized tribes have about six or seven people, and the remaining three small tribes are negligible compared to the previous ones, but there are also two or three thousand people in total.
Eight tribes, with more than 15,000 cavalry and more than 7,000 foot soldiers.
This is only exposed in front of the scouts, whether there is anything behind, Lei Tong does not know, and at the moment he can only continue to recruit young and strong people to strengthen the city wall and prepare equipment to defend the city.
Yunyu County, which is closest to this side, also began to transport grain and soldiers to this side at this time, and the Fang family accounted for a part of it here, and the big house and the second room under Fang Wenye's knee sent a lot of people to help transport grain, among which many of the Qi family back then were also among them.
This is Fang Wenye's special request to Taishou Tang Huaiyuan to resist the Xirong people, and let them contribute can be regarded as making up for what Qi Baoguo did back then.
The old man sat in the study, constantly writing letters, and sent them to the counties of Rongzhou, and even to the court, asking for troops.
The tragedy of the Xirong people entering the south of the pass, he remembered it vividly, and did not want to see the tragedy happen again, this time the Xirong people suddenly attacked Yantang Pass and withdrew, a little normal people know that this is a test of the defense of Yantang Pass.
Next, it's time for the real siege.
"Great-grandfather, what are you doing?" A child with two pigtails held on to the door frame, stepped on the threshold with one small foot, and watched Fang Wenye write curiously.
"Great-grandfather is writing to a friend, asking them to send some people and food to help."
The villain tilted his head: "Is there a bad person?" My mother said that the bad guys are coming, and everyone is busy. ”
"There are bad guys, lots of bad guys!"
The old man raised his face and smiled at the little man at the door, "Your grandfather has also gone to help fight the bad guys, you have to be obedient at home, don't run around, let the adults worry, do you hear?" ”
"Yes, it will!"
The child smiled and nodded.
Watching the little man leave, the old man sighed, flicked the wick, and continued to write.
The night is deep, and the vast grassland ripples in the vast grassland, spreading in the night wind.
In the huge camp dotted with bonfires, there is a large tent of felt splicing, and the bonfire inside is bright, bringing a sense of warmth.
A middle-aged Confucian sat by the fire, the flickering light shining on his face.
"Great Khan, Yantang Pass, don't take it lightly, that will lose the army. I have a plan to bypass this level and encircle it on both sides. ”
In the big tent, the old man wearing a fur hat with two fox tails hanging down looked at the Confucian students of Yan Guo who were talking.
"Haha, you say."
The Confucian raised his face slightly, "I have been in Yantang Pass for several years, and I am very familiar with the pass, there are big thieves in the mountains here, and I know the shortcut to the mountain, I have some friendship with them, and then I can go down the mountain and attack Yantang Pass!" ”
"Haha!"
The sturdy old man of Xirong pressed his knees and laughed, he looked at this scholar who had fallen off the list of Wei and had served as a staff member in Yantang Pass, his eyes were full of hideousness.
"The people of Yan never imagined that they destroyed the Wei State, but the Wei people opened a shortcut into the Yan State for my Xirong."
The old man cocked up his fingers.
"But if you lie to me, I'll cut off your head with my own hands."
"Yes!"
Luo Jingbin looked at the old man expressionlessly, stood up slowly, and seemed to have some inconvenience on one leg, so he shook it slightly twice before bowing down.
Brothers, this chapter suffocates me
