Volume 1, Yinzhou Chapter 43, The Realm of Hexagrams
Yuwang Mansion, the meeting hall, a long table in the middle, there is a sand table on the table, on both sides of the standing more than a dozen men, there are five Chinese dressed as five people, there are eight military generals, a middle-aged man in a yellow brocade robe sits on a chair, listening to the discussion of the next civil warrior.
One of the scribes said: "Lord, you can take Longsheng Pass first, take this place as a starting point, take Lantian City, but then attack Sanguan City, go all the way down, and take the main city of Liaoyang in Jingzhou, so that we can eat the whole Jingzhou." ”
Another scribe spoke: "Lord, no, the terrain of Longsheng Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is better to take Yanggu Pass first, and after taking Yanggu, we are taking Sanguan City." ”
Another scribe said: "Lord, the king of Liaoyang has just died, at this time, we should take Liaoyang City directly in the name of mourning, and then we can divide our troops into two roads, front and back, and take the middle Sanguan City and Blue Sky City, and we Yuzhou to form a territory, and other places can be decided after the war." ”
"The lord must not, there is a loss of virtue at this time, whether it is successful or not, His Royal Highness will inevitably poke the backbone of the world, which is a move that will lose the hearts of the people. One of the scribes said.
"Lord, such a big piece of fat, we don't send troops at this time, but we will suffer a big loss, this is the root of the military supply and the source of soldiers. "A military general was in a hurry when he heard that he was not allowed to send troops.
"Lord, General Zhang is right, the opportunity must not be lost, and it will not come again!" said another general.
In the hall, a heated discussion began.
King Yu fell into deep thought, he is already forty years old, and if he doesn't make contributions now, it is difficult to say whether he will have such an opportunity in the future, but after fighting, the reputation he has accumulated, "Alas" was a little bored, and suddenly heard a coming, "Your Highness, Your Highness, Qingzhou Stranger, no, Mr. Qingzhou Konggu asks to see." King Yu stood up suddenly, with excitement on his face, and hurriedly walked out, forgetting his subordinates in the chamber. He said loudly, "Please, no, I'll go myself!" and walked towards the gate.
Several literati in the council hall looked at each other, and there were different emotions in their eyes, but they were all smart people, and hurriedly followed King Yu and walked forward.
"Hahaha, Mr. Kutani is here, this king is far away. When King Yu saw that the fifth chapter had entered the palace and was walking towards him, he spoke.
Seeing King Yu coming, the fifth chapter hugged his fists and said with a smile: "How dare His Highness come to greet him in person, this is the fault of the empty valley." ”
King Yu shook hands with him with a smile and said in a very close tone: "This king heard about what Mr. has done in Qingzhou, Mr. is really a strange person. "I also made a gesture of invitation, so that the fifth chapter went first.
The fifth chapter saw King Yu behaving like this, and he felt a little admiration in his heart, this virtuous and courteous name is really worthy of the name. But he knew that although he had always been open, he had never lost his courtesy, and he had to eat, how could he be noisy, so he hurriedly saluted: "King Yu is His Royal Highness, how can he go first." ”
Seeing that the King of Yu was still polite, he hurriedly said: "The number of etiquette of the King of Chongqing must not be messed up." The fifth chapter looked solemn, and when he saw a few people coming not far from the King of Chongqing, he knew that "it must be the confidant and favorite general of the King of Chongqing", and Shi Li said: "I have seen you, the empty valley is polite!"
Each of them returned the salute and said that they were good and famous.
King Yu said: "Come and prepare, prepare wine and meat!"
At the banquet, the ministers all sat in their seats.
King Yu raised his glass and said: "Today's banquet, for Mr. Konggu to wash the dust and catch the wind, everyone here, the first glass of wine should be a glass of Mr. first, this king will do it first, Mr. please!" After King Yu finished speaking, the wine was in the mouth, and the mouth of the cup was facing down, to show that it was finished.
The fifth chapter took the wine glass, got up, first saluted the king of Yu, and then saluted the people present, and said: "His Royal Highness King Xie Yu, please everyone!" After drinking, show the cup and sit down.
All of them salute and drink.
King Yu saw that everyone drank the first cup, and said: "This second cup of wine, continue to respect Mr., Mr. did not choose Liu Huan, the lord of his hometown Qingzhou, but chose this king, it is really a blessing for this king, this king did it first!"
Chapter 5 is the same as the old ritual drinking. Everyone drank.
"This third cup, I still have to pay tribute to Mr., drink it after three rounds of wine, this third cup is a ceremony, Mr. please first!"
After three glasses, the courtiers on the seat had a move, not to respect His Majesty King Yu, but to directly switch to the fifth place, the wine glass kept drinking, I don't know how many glasses I drank, and I heard His Majesty King Yu sitting on it say: "Mr. has a good plan to shoot Jingzhou?"
The fifth chapter was a little drunk, got up and said: "It's a little too early to take Jingzhou now, only take the two passes of Longsheng and Yanggu, and recuperate for a while......" The fifth chapter was interrupted before he finished speaking.
When the king of Yu heard the words of the fifth chapter, he was a little displeased, but now he didn't take it, but he actually let himself recuperate, and said to his subordinates: "Mr. Konggu is drunk, go, send Mr. back to the house to rest." ”
The fifth chapter was a little dazed, and when he heard the words of King Yu, he didn't think about it, so he was helped out of the banquet by two people and sent into the room to rest.
When Chapter 5 left, the eyes of those advisors flashed with a different light.
The breeze came in the night, the leaves were rattling non-stop, and in the palace of the king of Chongqing, except for the guards, they were all asleep.
The next day, the fifth chapter felt dizzy and split, the sequelae of alcohol broke out, got up and went out of the room to blow the wind, feeling much better, and saw a young man dressed as a man coming, and said with a smile: "Little brother is good, I don't know the ...... of King Yu"
The young man grinned, and looked at the fifth chapter with curiosity on his face, as if he were observing some animal. Words from the mouth interrupted the words of the fifth chapter.
"Hello sir, King Yu explained, the house here belongs to Mr., what Mr. wants to eat, what he wants to drink, tell the little one, and the little one will try his best to do it for you. King Yu has declared the world today, and Mr. Feng is the first strategist. ”
The fifth place Zhang's face was not very good, maybe it was a reaction after drinking, or it could be that the announcement of King Yu made him upset, and said, "Okay, you go, I'll go and rest again." The fifth chapter felt a little headache, so he went back to rest.
The sun had gone in the west, and it was beginning to get dark, and someone knocked on the door, saying that His Highness had an invitation, and the fifth chapter got up and tidied up, and then went to the front yard. In the front yard, a new round of drinking began. On the wine bureau, King Yu did not film Jingzhou, but just kept drinking and eating meat with him.
Beginning on the second day, the king of Yu often sent people to bring some wine and meat to his small courtyard.
The same was true on the third day.
......
Chapter 5 feels like every day is a kind of torment, and there is nothing to do except eat meat and drink.
Day after day, month after month, he felt that he had been eating and drinking wine and meat all his life.
Sometimes pain comes from the spirit, from suffering, from learning.
Lonely, aggrieved, and idle, he felt that his life was passing, and he went to find the king of Chongqing, but the king of Chongqing had already led his troops to capture Jingzhou.
He once thought about leaving, but was stopped by the soldiers, saying that the king of Yu had returned from victory and would definitely ask to see Mr.
A sleepy word, appeared in his life, appeared in his life, he didn't know when he was a head, when he could have something to do, nothing but eating and drinking every day, and when the ambition in his heart could be completed.
One day, suddenly Li Qi came to him, saying that His Royal Highness had defeated Blue Sky City, and hoped that he would lead troops to rescue him and hand him a talisman. Tears appeared in his eyes, tears of excitement, but he covered his face and said, "How many soldiers and horses are there in the city?
Li Qi said: "There are less than 10,000 soldiers, only Brother You can be counted, Longsheng Pass has already been taken, and now Liu ......"
After listening to Li Qi's words, the fifth chapter said: "Okay, I know, tell You Yao to prepare three thousand soldiers and horses, get up now, go straight to Xiangcheng, the capital of Danzhou, bring the strong crossbow, don't attack the city, find a way to make the defenders of Xiangcheng think that the army is pressed in, and then go straight to Xiaoyang County from Xiangcheng, Xiaoyang County don't stay, go to the spine mountain closest to the blue sky to meet His Highness, and take His Highness to withdraw from the border of Danzhou, and you will also follow." ”
"How could they think that the army was pressing in?" Li Qi was a little confused.
The fifth chapter stopped, looked at Li Qi, and said, "Think of a way, I can't think of a way, burn the sandalwood forest in Xiangcheng for me, and then go to meet His Highness." His eyes were full of anger.
The sound of horses' hooves, Jin Ge is the soul, if you want to kill the enemy, you must be ready to die endlessly, and you will not return.
The fifth chapter only brought 3,000 people, this is no choice, the capital cannot be left unguarded, and nearly 700,000 troops were all taken away by the king of Yu, and now I don't know how many survived. If there are still 108,000, maybe the king of Yu can still be called the king, if there is not much left. He sighed and thought to himself, "I'm afraid I won't even be able to go back to my hometown."
Fame is a thing that sometimes allows you to eat wherever you go, and it is also possible that it makes you become a street rat that everyone shouts and beats. Pathetic, alas!
The fifth chapter did not run to Longsheng Pass, nor did he go to Yanggu Pass. Instead, he went straight to Qingliang City, the capital of Lianzhou.
Jingzhou borders three states, one Danzhou, one Lianzhou, and the rest is Yuzhou of the King of Yu. The king of Yu was anxious for quick success and wanted to eat the whole of Jingzhou, but he fell into the conspiracy of the two feudal kings, and now he wants to make the two sides quit the army, it is absolutely impossible, and they can only let them come back.
The fifth chapter sent two henchmen of the king of Yu and asked them to find a way to inform the people in charge of the troops in Danzhou and Lianzhou that if the capitals of the two states were lost, whether they succeeded or not, they would have some effect. Especially after the fragrance of the sandalwood tree, the people in charge of the army in Danzhou will inevitably return to Danzhou.
Along the way, the fifth chapter kept picking up the soldiers who survived and fled back to Yuzhou, and the team grew stronger and stronger, although they were exhausted, the fifth chapter did not let them leave, but continued to hurry with them. The soldiers were originally unwilling, but when they heard that he was Mr. Kutani, they all showed excited expressions and were willing to follow him to the capital of Lianzhou.
It was more than a thousand miles from the capital of Yuzhou to the capital of Lianzhou, but the army led by the fifth chapter arrived in one day and one night.
He looked at the nearly 10,000 soldiers, all of whom were exhausted to death, and his face showed guilt.
"Sir, we will fight as you say, we are not afraid of death!" said one of the soldiers.
"Yes, sir, you say that?" all the soldiers looked resolute.
The fifth chapter was in a very bad mood, seeing everyone looking at him with believing eyes, he felt unspeakably uncomfortable, this time, he himself was not sure if he could go back alive.
He calmed down, looked at the city in front of him, and said to the non-commissioned officers beside him: "Send a few clever ones, change clothes into the city, and wait for the opportunity to set fire." I'm looking for a few people to set fire to the woods on the edge of the city. As soon as the woods outside caught fire,...... Before the words were finished, the fifth chapter felt the wind blowing, the body moved, and suddenly a feeling of pain appeared, the body flew backwards, and the consciousness returned to the body, and saw that there were only forty-nine fifty strategies flying around Zhang Cheng, and when he looked at his body, he saw that a yarrow had been inserted on his left shoulder.
