Chapter 383: The Emperor Who Surrendered to the Enemy
In the western capital of the Great Liang, the banner of the Liang character has long been replaced, and the white dragon pattern of the Xia Kingdom is fluttering on the mottled bloodstained city wall.
After entering June, the sun was scorching, Su Chen led Dian Wei and Xu Chu out of the back garden of the deep palace, a large number of palaces were being demolished, the air was dusty, the shouts of the soldiers, the craftsmen wielding hammers, and chisels rattled.
On the side of the front palace, it is also a scene of demolition of the palace in full swing, right now, only one Yongning Hall is still standing, the generals in the army, and Jia Xu are also there, everyone probably knows from him that they are ready to leave the northwest and return to the Central Plains, Lu Bu has a happy look on his face.
"I haven't seen Wenyuan for a long time." He was smiling, and there was Lu Lingqi from Qi next to him.
The girl saw that her father's robe was a little crooked, straightened the collar for him, flattened her shoulders, pursed her red lips slightly, and muttered: "Dad, you are really, my mother is not here, and the robe is not good every time." ”
"Huh." Lu Bu was smiling there quite enjoyably, and someone on the side looked over and was also glared back by him.
"The generals are here early enough." Su Chen's apse came in and said hello to everyone over there.
Dian Wei carried the double halberd, Xu Chu followed behind with a tiger's head golden knife, and whispered: "Come here so early, I must have thought that I was going to fight Wu Yue." ”
"If the military rations are not enough, how can you fight it, and you will be beaten with your head?"
Su Chen and Jia Xu had a conversation before, after the order was issued, it was inevitable that people would have no idea in their hearts, at this time there were only two countries left in the world, Wu and Yue, among them, the emperor of Wu State, and his mother did something that was rare for eternity, and he left the palace behind, leaving Wenwu and the people to come to the Central Plains to surrender.
It is logical to take advantage of the situation to beat Wu Yue and complete the unification of the world, especially in the late Han Dynasty, many people have never enjoyed the feeling of unifying the world, so naturally they can't sleep with excitement one by one, and come to Yongning Hall early to wait.
Su Chen looked at the generals in the hall and said, "...... The generals probably also heard the news, and the emperor of Wu, Kang Chengqian, sent his mother, as well as his empress, prince and princess out of Shengkang and went to Luyang. When I first heard it, I thought it was wrong with my ears, but after re-checking, it was indeed the case. ”
The old handsome Li Jing closed his eyes, stroked his chin and white beard, and thought for a while before nodding, "Strange news through the ages, but it is also an opportunity to win the Wu Kingdom." ”
"But the Central Plains side has provided a lot of grain for the army to conquer Qiliang this year, and I'm afraid I won't be able to draw out the extra grain to conquer Wu."
Hearing his apprentice Su Dingfang's concern, Li Jing smiled: "Why worry about grain? The emperor of Wu is in hand, so why worry about the injustice of this country. ”
In the voice of the master and apprentice, the rest of the generals also talked about their thoughts lively, Su Chen sat on the throne where the Emperor of Liang State had sit, listened for a moment, raised his hand slightly, and the voice in the hall slowly subsided.
"Wu Guo may be able to use other methods, but Bing Feng must be indispensable, this time I will go to the Central Plains first, and when Kang Chengqian arrives, I will know the details, and now I have another thing to say."
In the main hall, Su Chen looked at the generals standing on both sides below, and he informed everyone one by one about changing the country to a state that he had discussed with Jia Xu.
"What I mean, the name of Huaxia will be implemented, and the Liang State will be destroyed, and the tribes in the northwest will still be optimistic, and in the future, this place will be renamed Liangzhou, and the western capital will be renamed Wuwei County! For the time being, Taishi Dong Zhuo is in charge! ”
Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment in the queue on the right, especially when he heard the word Xiliang, his lips squirmed slightly, and his voice was a little choked.
"Xiliang ......"
Li Dao was also stunned for a moment, looking at Dong Zhuo with some excitement, and his eyes gradually reddened slightly, "Taishi...... Xiliang ...... Xiliang, ah......"
The surrounding generals were also quite surprised to think about it, what he just said about the change of Qi country to merge states, Lu Bu's hand clenched into a fist, although the place is different, but after all, it is the name of his former hometown, the place of dreams.
"Your Majesty, the ministers and the childish will definitely guard Liangzhou!"
Outside, at this time, a soldier entered the hall, and after handing over the weapon, he stepped inside, knelt on half a knee, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, Commander Pei is about to leave, please give instructions." ”
"Hmm."
Above the main hall, Su Chen nodded, then got up and went down the imperial steps, holding up Dong Zhuo and Li Dao's arched hands, "I can trust the Taishi." ”
With a turn of his eyes, he swept over everyone's faces, and his voice fell: "Youyan Army is the vanguard, pull out the camp into Meizhou, and then enter Luzhou." The Qingzhou and Yizhou armies advanced for the middle road, and the Tang army was the rear team, carrying equipment on the road. ”
Everyone bowed their hands in unison, and the voice shook the hall: "Wow! ”
The Liang State has been destroyed, and the rest is to appease and deter the heads of the tribes, and An Lushan is circling on both sides here, which is probably the most stable situation at present.
Except for the Xiliang Army, which stayed in Liangzhou to replenish the source of troops, the rest of the soldiers and horses have begun to assemble and pull out the camp, and the grain has left first, and was escorted to Meizhou by Ma Chao.
………
And Su Chen took Dian Wei Xu Chu out of the Yongning Palace, out of the imperial city, to the south gate of the city wall, the bright sun was shining on the wall, and the patrolling Xiliang soldiers saluted Su Chen.
Not far away, Pei Min, the sword saint in brocade clothes and black robes, was standing behind the battlements looking at the scenery outside the city, and when he heard the voice of the soldiers in the rear shouting "Your Majesty", he quickly turned around and bowed to the figure who came over: "Meet Your Majesty." ”
Su Chen, who was wearing a cloak and a mountain pattern armor, walked over, raised his hand to excuse him, stood still behind the towering wall battlements in front of him, raised his hand and pressed on the cold wall battlements, glanced at the scenery outside, and smiled: "The northwest scenery is desolate and tragic, no wonder Commander Pei likes to see it." ”
"The same is true of the Northwest when it was in China." Pei Min took half a step forward and stood on Su Chen's side: "This time I went to Jiangdong Wudi, I don't know what else Your Majesty needs to entrust." ”
Su Chen smiled and nodded, "There is indeed one thing. He raised his hand and asked Wu Zixun to hand over the token, and then handed it to Pei Min, which had been infused with meritorious deeds, and Pei Min only needed to release it.
"If you go deep into the land of Wu, if you encounter a critical matter, and I and the generals are thousands of miles away and cannot help, these two tokens may be able to add some help."
Pei Min lowered his gaze and looked at the two tokens in his palm.
One has the word 'Yuwen' written on it and the other has the word 'Wei' written on it.
"Commander Pei encountered danger when he arrived, and he had no time to take care of it, so he summoned these two people, and must ensure that Kang Chengqian arrived in Luyang alive, I have sent a fast horse to leave, return to Yanjing, and let Zheng He lead the fleet south to Shengkang, and then you will go east from Shengkang City, and they will meet you by the sea."
"Yes!" Pei Min hasn't been on a mission for a long time, and it is too exciting to be able to go to Shengkang, the capital of Jiangdong, and take the other emperor away.
He arched his hands heavily.
"The ministers will bring the Emperor of Wu to the sea safely and return to Luyang!"
Su Chen explained some things to him again, and then sent him and a master of embroidery out of the city, and waited for them to ride away before going to the barracks.
Outside the camp, large and small carriages stopped, and from the outside, you could hear the voices of women inside, these are the concubines of Qi who were rewarded to the generals before, although they are no longer the emperor's wives and concubines, but it is also a blessing to be able to follow the generals of the unified army, it is better than becoming a female slave, or being trafficked.
After entering the barracks, seeing that the generals were ready to leave, Su Chen told them a few words to prepare more wine and meat on the road, this time there is no need to march to fight, they should eat and drink well on the road, and don't get too angry.
Everyone laughed loudly, and after a while, Su Chen shook his hand, and his lips opened slightly under his gradually thicker beard: "In addition, the women I have given to the generals should be treated well, and strive to add Ding to the family next year, so that my Huaxia seedlings will be firmly rooted in this land." ”
"Hahaha!"
The generals laughed again.
Dong Zhuo and Li Dao didn't have to leave, but they also came to see them off, and the former laughed with a bulging belly: "Your Majesty also has to work harder, how can a prince be enough, in the future, we generals will lead the prince to fight!" ”
"Dong Gong, it's the opposite." Li Jing waved his hand, "It should be the prince who leads us!" ”
"Hmph, I'm different from you, I let my son go to war with the prince!"
Zhang Fei obviously didn't hold a grudge because of yesterday's incident, he still said happily, and pushed out the somewhat shy Zhang Bao, and asked him to talk to his uncles and uncles, which made Zhang Bao's face turn red and speechless.
"It's okay, I'll cover you in the future!" Li Xuanba looked at the same young general, like a big brother, and patted Zhang Bao on the shoulder.
"He's older than you!"
Cheng Yanjin raised his hand, poked his fingers in Li Xuanba's waist, and whispered, "Don't talk big." ”
While everyone was laughing and talking, Lu Lingqi puffed out small balls on her cheeks and muttered: "Your Majesty is sending a woman again?" Qingsi shook it, and she glared at her father beside her: "Dad is not allowed, otherwise when my mother comes, I will tell my mother!" ”
"Hmph, you've started to care about your father's business, too?"
Lu Bu was lustful, but that was before, he rubbed his daughter's head, and smiled gently: "Don't worry, a foreign woman, I can't look down on my father." ”
The girl nodded again and again, her face full of adoration: "Dad is the best." ”
Occasionally, she turned her head and looked at Su Chen, who was talking to the generals in the crowd, "Your Majesty the Emperor is quite good to Daddy and other generals. ”
Soon, the three armies were pulled out, and the two Xirong cavalry of Tiefo and Tieya returned to the grassland, while Su Chen said goodbye to Dong Zhuo and Li Dao, and said a few words, and then followed the two armies of Qingzhou and Yizhou in the ancestral locomotive, and left under the guard of the generals.
The fast horse sent the day before yesterday winded through the northwest mountains at a speed of 100 miles, and after three days entered Qidi, Li Ru specially found three good horses, so that the other party could transfer on the way.
In the middle of June, I entered Yantang Pass, rested here for a while, and rushed to Yanjing in the stars and moons, and arrived in two more days.
"Hehe, it's finally enough to use our family!"
After reading the letter sent by Li Bai, Zheng He got up from the chair with a smile, burned the letter paper, and summoned a detective factory, "Immediately order Feiyungang to prepare ships, let those red-haired barbarians board the ship and prepare, as well as the batch of pirates just released, our family will also use them!" ”
In the palace, Fang Xuejun held the child and listened to the senior sister muttering beside her, and after a while, she whispered something in her ear, which made Fang Xuejun blush, and raised her hand to beat her.
Yanjing, which had not been at war for a long time, was agitated at this time, and the Yanjing officials at this time had already changed a batch, all of them were young and vigorous, all of them were talents selected by Li Bai, Guo Jia and others in the imperial examination in the past two years, and they had the passion to do things.
At first, they didn't know why they had to prepare melons and fruits on the ship, until they heard that they had to eat these things at sea, and they admired the eunuch in the palace, who even knew about such things.
On June 21, all the things needed to go to sea had entered Feiyungang, and the people were loaded into the cabin one by one, and when Zheng He's team came, a red-haired woman named Elsa stepped on the barrel with one foot, and the red-haired hair flew and shouted.
"Anchor and sail!"
On another large ship, a strong red-haired man named Barry shouted the same way, and on the third large ship in the distance, the former pirates were still wearing hideous iron armor, carrying large axes, and singing the song of breaking the sea and sailing.
They were imprisoned in the East for two years, and finally, under Zheng He's careful "education", they returned to the ship with a change of heart and gave a warship as the vanguard of this time.
In fact, Zheng He asked them to sail in front of them, observe the climate change at sea in this world, and if they encounter danger, they can dock in time.
The sea breeze blows in your face.
Zheng He walked up to the flagship, walked up to the five-story shipyard, the seabirds chirped around the mast, and the next moment, the birds flew in shock, and the sails rose in this gale.
The waves rolled and then the bow of the ship broke, and the four large ships, stirred by the sea breeze, slowly sailed away from the harbor, and then turned around and headed south against the sea.
As the ship rode the wind and waves, the sun crossed the sky, far in the direction of the south, in the majestic and magnificent city at the mouth of the Huaijiang River, and dark clouds were also brewing.
Kang Chengqian spent half a month in the palace in fear, and was often awakened by nightmares, so that during this half month, he looked tired and depressed.
"The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother have already arrived safely in Luyang, right?"
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother and the Empress, as well as several princes and princesses, have all arrived in Luyang." The answer to Kang Chengqian was the eunuch who had been accompanying him, and the queen mother and queen absconded from the palace, and the other party handled it.
"It's safe to be safe, then...... Luyang's side, did you say how to save me from trouble? ”
"The Son of Heaven of Xia Guo has already replied to Luyang, and there is news to the slave early this morning." The eunuch was clever, not to mention that the emperor's escape was basically unheard of, and there was not much prevention at all.
Therefore, as long as the news is kept confidential, there is not much danger.
"The Son of Heaven of the Xia Kingdom said that he has sent someone from the Embroidery Division to take His Majesty out of the palace, all of them are masters in the hands of the Son of Heaven, by the way, there is also the northern fleet, which will be met by the sea when the time comes."
"Fleet?"
Kang Chengqian was a little uneasy: "On the battle ship...... It is difficult for Wu to have an opponent, and if he leaves from the sea, if he is intercepted. ”
"Your Majesty, if the Son of Heaven of the Xia Kingdom says so, there must be a way."
A palace maid came in outside and handed a bowl of decoction, and the eunuch took it and blew the hot air in his hand and put it in the emperor's hand, "Your Majesty, it is better to condition your body first, so as not to drag your body down after a long journey." ”
"Well, that's what I thought, too."
Kang Chengqian exhaled, he leaned against the head of the bed, took the decoction and took a sip, and then laughed: "I have done a lot of money in this emperor." ”
