Chapter 162: The Smoke of Gunpowder Rises from the Three Rivers
Although the prime minister said that Song Heng should pay attention to the movements of Sanchuan County, and Song Heng, who had already made up his mind in his heart, also did so, but after all, he was still one step slower than Xia Chunqiu, after all, Xia Chunqiu had already decided to kill the county's envoy Zhang Taiwen a year ago, so it was not surprising that Song Heng would be caught off guard by what happened in Sanchuan County.
Xia Chunqiu is ambitious, so for everything to do and what is about to be done, Xia Chunqiu is definitely not a spur of the moment, but premeditated.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Xia Chunqiu is an arrogant person, as long as anyone who has really come into contact with it knows that this is a hungry wolf, when his heart has become crazy because of hunger, he still maintains his sanity, but once he is eyeing the prey that has an opportunity, then he will definitely wait for the opportunity to move!
In other words, how crazy Xia Chunqiu is, how rational he is, and every decision and action after his madness is made after careful consideration, and this Xia Chunqiu is even more tricky.
The strong man has only been established for decades, although many of the heroes who founded the country are in their twilight years, but there are still many heroes who are in the period of strength, and there are still prime ministers Li Rui and the martial god Jiang Shenzi in the White Tiger Hall and the Qinglong Hall of the Daming Palace.
And the fact is that Xia Chunqiu did not live up to the expectations of the people of the world for his "arrogance".
After mastering Li Zhaoyi's army, he quickly spread the army to Sanchuan County according to the intelligence, and soon let Zhang Taiwen's army that had been hoarded for a long time be routed.
The soldiers raised in times of harmony may give people a sense of high morale, but if they are placed in the eyes of the dead on the battlefield, these people lack a temperament, the kind of ferocity that is not afraid of life and death and fights to the death with the enemy.
Zhang Taiwen's soldiers, usually a little casual, but now they have become the first wave of passive people before the chaos in the world, some are at a loss when they are in a hurry, and they are a little overwhelmed, and after being suddenly surrounded and suppressed by "their own people", they are a little dazed and frightened at the same time, and they are fighting, and the only fighting spirit in the bottom of their hearts is also wiped out, and they suddenly flee and vote.
A chaos that shook the world suddenly broke out in Sanchuan County, and Li Zhaoyi's 50,000 judgment army also destroyed Zhang Taiwen's hoarded troops, and Xia Chunqiu did not use much effort to take Sanchuan County as his own.
However, when a chaos was gradually known to the world, people suddenly woke up, Xia Chunqiu let him capture Sanchuan County without using his own soldiers, and after thinking about it, those who spit and despise Xia Chunqiu also began to pay attention to it.
And when Li Zhaoyi's army was sweeping around the strength of Zhang Taiwen, the envoy of the county, what happened in Sanchuan County was also reported back to Daming Palace as soon as possible.
Although everyone knew that Xia Chunqiu was going to rebel, everyone was still a little distracted when they heard this unexpected news.
No one thought that Xia Chunqiu would rebel so early!
Song Heng, who was also a little caught off guard, carefully learned about Sanchuan County from the intelligence, and when he understood what had happened in Sanchuan County, he immediately convened a court meeting.
And when Song Heng was thinking about the best solution in the Daming Palace, in the entire Sanchuan County, because Xia Chunqiu was still sweeping away the remnants, at this time, after the people in many cities panicked, some people had already begun to flee one after another.
After living in such a prosperous and peaceful life for so long, the sudden occurrence of such a mutiny is inevitably terrifying.
The flames of war broke out, the smoke of gunpowder flew, the world was in chaos, and the people withered. Regarding the phenomenon of refugees fleeing from other cities, Xia Chunqiu's heart did not rise in the slightest.
At the east gate of the general city of Sanchuan County, when a group of soldiers and horses galloped past in chaos, the appearance of a large army outside the city made the terrified army's faces even paler, especially Zhang Taiwen, who was escorted by the army.
When he saw the evil smile of Gao Dazhan in front of him, Zhang Taiwen's whole person seemed to have lost his soul, and he couldn't see any other color in his eyes except fear.
Zhang Taiwen never thought that such a young Xia Chunqiu would really do such a crazy and bold thing!
At first, in Zhang Taiwen's opinion, he felt that even if Xia Chunqiu was ambitious, but after all, he was young, and his means and thoughts were still immature, so he would not dare to kill himself, but when the news of his own power being destroyed came from all directions one after another, Zhang Taiwen finally knew that he was wrong!
Although Zhang Taiwen knew that he had missed Xia Chunqiu, there was no turning back.
"Ambassador Zhang, where are you going to be in such a hurry?"
As he spoke, Xia Chunqiu, who was dressed in red armor, had already jumped off his horse, and the long sword in his hand was not sheathed, and at this time it was bloodstained, so that Zhang Taiwen, who was afraid of death, could no longer sit steadily.
Zhang Taiwen, who got off the horse in a panic, crawled and knelt in front of Xia Chunqiu, but he didn't wait for him to open his mouth to beg for mercy, and when a bright red splash appeared, the only fear in his mind was gradually dissipating with the disappearance of his breathing.
"The order goes down, the envoy of the county is dead, and no one who surrenders will be killed! In addition, after taking all the wealth that can be taken with him, all the troops will retreat to the Shirakawa Mountains within three days. ”
After the horizontal knife was immediately slashed and Zhang Taiwen was killed without the slightest drag, Xia Chunqiu ordered the people behind him.
Xia Chunqiu's troops have not yet left Tanglin, even if Sanchuan County has been occupied now, but he knows that when his army is not active, it is impossible to use Li Zhaoyi's army to hold Sanchuan County.
After understanding this in his heart, Xia Chunqiu decided to go to Shirakawa Mountain in Sanchuan County, and take advantage of the natural advantages there to hold the road that drove straight into the Sanchuan Army, so that it could eat Sanchuan County again one day.
"King Xia, there are a total of thirteen large and small cities in Sanchuan County, and the materials for guarding Baichuan Mountain rely on the military rations in these cities, so there is no need to use the labor of the people to get it. ”
Hear Xia Chunqiu's words. Gu Qian, who has been following Xia Chunqiu, opened his mouth, deliberately dissuading Xia Chunqiu from harming the common people.
"Sir, am I as brutal as you think? What I am talking about taking away is the military rations in these cities, which will not be plundered against the people. The ancients had sages and clouds: attack their faults and love their people. I still know that. ”
Hearing the meaning of the words of the people around him, Xia Chunqiu also joked.
What happened in Sanchuan County quickly spread throughout the Qianghan, and almost at the same time, it also spread to the Shenwu Palace in Taiwu Qinwu City.
The reversal of the three rivers, the people of the world have changed when they hear it!
In the west, in the city of Muping.
The second prince and his wife, who had come to Muping from Chang'an, have remained in the Chen Mansion because they have not been able to convince the founding prince to attend their wedding.
After hearing the news of the fall of Sanchuan County, they still exhausted all the methods in the house, and the two wives who wanted to persuade the founding prince to go to Chang'an also changed their faces greatly!
And after knowing that he couldn't continue to stay in Muping, Song Yin also left in a hurry, and he didn't have the energy to care about whether the founding prince would go to Chang'an City anymore.
Song Yin and his wife left, and there was only one family left in the entire Chen Mansion again.
"Hey, this summer and spring and autumn, it really deserves to be the old immortal seed of King Huai, if you say the opposite, you will be the opposite, and you will not be verbose with Song Heng at all. ”
"But this kid suddenly ran to such a far place in Sanchuan County to rebel, what is the idea, even if this kid has already occupied Sanchuan County, but if the Tanglin army can't support it, he can't hold it, right?"
"Could it be...... In the vicinity of Sanchuan County, there are other people who have also taken refuge in Tanglin?"
The front foot sent Song Yin and his wife away, and the founding father who returned to the house on the back foot muttered, and he didn't understand why Xia Chunqiu suddenly ran so far away to Sanchuan County to rebel.
Although each has its own intelligence network, the news that Xia Chunqiu secretly left Tanglin and went to Sanchuan County was not collected by either Chang'an or Xichen, so after such a shocking thing suddenly happened at this time, even the founding prince was a little surprised.
"Xia Chunqiu wants to rebel, it should be Yanjing that should move, but Yanjing is the land of King Jiang after all, 100,000 Yan troops are guarded in Bianjing and Yanjing respectively, even if Donglin is strong, but it will definitely not swallow Yanjing for a while and a half. ”
"However, the army of Tanglin has not yet moved, that is to say, it will not be able to support Sanchuan County in a short time, if my expectations are good, Xia Chunqiu will immediately withdraw the army belonging to Li Zhaoyi in Sanchuan County to one of Baichuan Mountain, Lingchuan Mountain and Huanchuan Mountain, and hold the main road that can drive straight into Sanchuan County according to the natural danger, so as to facilitate his army to enter the Sanchuan Group in the future. ”
As soon as the founding prince finished speaking in a tone of exclamation and surprise, Chen Wanqing, who had been collecting all kinds of information before, also analyzed and said, and the words were reasonable, so that several generals around him nodded one after another.
"Xia Chunqiu has rebelled, the world has to fight, you all go back, I can't support you anymore after eating and drinking for so many days in the house. ”
The founding father, who no longer cares about anything, said to the four generals around him in a relaxed tone, and he left.
Things happened when they happened, and Chen Wanqing's analysis was also very reasonable, but the founding prince immediately decided to go to the Rishen Pavilion to find Guo Yi, the great strategist of Fulong.
Of course, Chen Wanqing's wisdom does not need to be questioned, but everyone in the mansion at this time knows that if you really want to look at the overall situation of the world, you have to be the great strategist of Fulong who lives in the Sunsink Pavilion!
Hearing that the founding prince was so unabashedly disgusted with himself and others, Lu Donkey and the general only looked disdainful.
But when I knew that the world was really going to be uneasy, the generals also knew that they really had to go back.
Although the west is still unable to move, and Chen Xikang has not yet returned, the group must control all the situation first, at least not let the west be involved in the war in advance.
