Humane Yongchang

Chapter 447 Bad News

The setting sun is like blood.

Yingzheng sits alone by the lakeside of the lotus pond, cuts ten acres of fire, burns clouds and drinks.

The turbid liquor reflected the warm sunset into his eyes, turning into patches of biting cold wind...

Wei Liao walked slowly along the curve of the pool bank with his hands folded, and saw Ying Zheng's haughty but lonely back from a distance. Entering the waterside pavilion, he smiled and bowed his hands and said: "The old minister came uninvited, so you don't blame the king?"

Ying Zheng was slightly taken aback when he saw him, as if he was surprised by his appearance, but immediately smiled and reached out to the opposite side of the food table: "I wish for it!"

Wei Liao shook hands again, got up and sat down opposite Ying Zheng with the hem of his robe lifted.

Without saying a word, Ying Zheng lifted the jug and poured wine for him.

Wei Liao was not too polite, picked up the three-legged wine baron and drank it down in one gulp.

Seeing this, Yingzheng raised the jug again and poured a full wine for Wei Liao.

However, before he could put the jug down, Wei Liao picked up the wine jue and raised his head...

After drinking three wines in a row, Ying Zheng kept silent and wanted to lift the wine pot to pour wine for him. Wei Liao already smiled and apologized: "Please forgive me, the old minister promised Gao Tang when he was a young man studying abroad. No more than three, today is already overweight!"

Ying Zheng was dumbfounded, poured himself out of boredom and said, "If I had known this, I wouldn't have poured wine for my master, so you and I can drink a few more wines!"

Wei Liao picked up the water jug, poured himself a pot of water, and whispered meaningfully: "It's not too late now!"

Ying Zheng looked up at him, then shook his head and put the jug back on the food table, and said lightly: "I'm afraid it's already too late, counting the days, Kyushu Ding should enter Jinling City, and Li Si should arrive soon too." Jinling is now..."

"As the saying goes: it's never too late to look after the dog when you see a rabbit; it's never too late to mend a lost sheep!"

Wei Liao replied firmly: "As long as Your Majesty is willing to make amends sincerely, it's not too late!"

Ying Zheng suddenly smiled.

The laughter was very light, but the expression was very complicated.

He solemnly picked up the wine cup and gestured to Wei Liao: "I am grateful for the master and still willing to teach me."

After saying that, he covered his face with his sleeve and drank it down in one gulp.

Wei Liao looked at him hesitantly, but finally heaved a sigh, raised his head to drink the syrup in front of him.

"Do."

Ying Zheng threw Jiu Jue on the food table, turned his head and looked to the southeast with blurred eyes, his eyes seemed to pass through the space, and saw the grand ceremony of Jinling Jiuding entering the city!
After drinking for a long time, he was already three points drunk, coupled with his gloomy mood, and his usually invisible emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and fear, his face was completely exposed at this moment: "I also know that the great man's general situation has been established, and the right time, place and people are under control. If you want to compete with it, you should avoid its sharp edge, recharge your energy and store up your energy, and slowly figure it out!"

"However, if you want me to bow down to the King of Han and be a petty, hypocritical and submissive... I would rather die!"

He didn't tell Wei Liao that recently he often had a dream, dreaming of another self, or another completely different life.

He couldn't see clearly what the self in the dream had experienced.

But he clearly remembered that at that time in the dream, hundreds of thousands of great Qin warriors swept across the world, acted as the supreme and ruled Liuhe, beat and flogged the world, took Baiyue from the south, built the Great Wall in the north, and wrote the same text and the same car. On the track, boasting that he has pursued the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors of Derby, and is called the First Emperor!

That dream was so real that he couldn't tell whether it was him dreaming of the first emperor or the first emperor dreaming of him.

The first emperor's life was so hot and turbulent that even when he was sober, he still couldn't tell whether he was the Mu Yingzheng of Yongzhou or the first emperor Yingzheng.

However, in stark contrast to the scorching life of the first emperor who swept away the wasteland and ruled the world, swallowed the world, and wished he could borrow another 500 years from the sky...

What he was facing was a mess that was about to be pierced by the big man. If he didn't surrender, he would face the death situation of the Han army's soldiers approaching the city.

Don't say anything about chasing the Three Emperors and Derby Five Emperors.

Just keeping the situation in front of him from collapsing has consumed most of his energy...

This kind of person seems to be the same person, but their respective situations and situations are very different. How big is the gap?
Let's put it this way, it was the result of Ying Zheng's utmost restraint that he did not use the banner of the First Emperor to brazenly raise his troops against the Han.

Want him to lower his head and become a junior?

He is truly give me death!
Wei Liao was not surprised at what Ying Zheng said.

Although he didn't know about Ying Zheng's bizarre Lu Qi dream, he had followed Ying Zheng for many years and knew about it very well.

In fact, he was only surprised when Yingzheng brought up the matter of voting with Han before to discuss with them!

In his cognition, if there is not a face-to-face battle with gongs and drums, Ying Zheng should be determined not to surrender!

Therefore, after Yingzheng finally rejected Li Sidai's offer to surrender, Wei Liao was not too surprised, although his heart was heavy...

This is the Ying Zheng he knew, the ambitious and tenacious Ying Zheng!

"The universe is still uncertain, why should your majesty feel sorry for himself!"

Wei Liao said in a deep voice: "Whether our Yongzhou army can defeat the Han army will only be known after a battle!"

Hearing the words, Ying Zheng felt a lot of worries in his heart for a while, and then forcibly put all kinds of worries and distracting thoughts behind him, straightened his upper body, raised his arms upright and said to Wei Liao, "Master, please teach me!"

Wei Liao thought about it and said slowly: "In the opinion of the veteran, the Han army dominates the Kyushu based on the right time, location, and harmony of people. If our army from Yongzhou wants to defeat the Han army, we must also have the right time, location, and harmony of people. Both are indispensable!"

"First, the heroes of the envoys, formed an alliance to attack Han, Taiping Dao collapsed, Song Yi of Qingzhou and Liu Bang of Yizhou voted for Han, but Han Xin of Bingzhou and Xiang Yu of Youzhou can fight for it, and the veterans think that Liu Bang of Yizhou does not seem to be willing to live The generation below the people, the king can move with affection and promise with benefits, maybe it will have a miraculous effect!"

"A retreat of [-] steps will make it impossible for a vertical coalition to be achieved. The heroes will each send troops to contain the main force of the Han army, which can also share some pressure for my Yongzhou."

Yingzheng lifted his spirits, straightened his body and listened carefully to Wei Liao's talk about the solution.

Wei Liao clearly explained item by item, obviously he had not been pondering this matter for a day or two: "Secondly, Bai Qi was appointed as the general, and the old minister had visited Bai Qi's camp before, so he was very convinced. It is an exaggeration to say that if there is a general who can defeat the King of Han in this world, apart from Bai Qi, there is absolutely no second!"

"Thirdly, speed up the construction progress of Hangu Pass. The center of the Han Dynasty is far away in the southeast. When the Han army invades Yongzhou, it must first pass through the land of Heluo. Supplies and supplies will be a big problem. As long as the Hangu Pass can be used well , even if it is difficult to win head-on, it can be delayed until the Han army's food and supplies are exhausted, and they will collapse without fighting!"

After listening to Wei Liao's strategy to defeat the enemy, Ying Zheng would be lying if he said how surprised he was.

It's not a very profound and mysterious strategy to defeat the enemy. Before Wei Liao opened his mouth, he had already figured it out!

But it would be equally deceiving to say that there were no surprises at all.

After all, Wei Liao was the first official among the civil servants and military generals in Yongzhou who clearly supported him in raising the banner to fight against the big man!

The importance of its significance is self-evident!

Yingzheng was very excited, and he clasped his palm again and said, "My master's love for sending carbon in the snow, I dare not forget it until I die!"

……

Positive energy is conserved.

When Ying Zheng was rejoicing in Xianyang.

Chen Sheng of Jinling City is not in a very beautiful mood!
If he hadn't witnessed the fate of the Han Dynasty with his own eyes, he would use the Nine Tripods to transform the dragon and suppress the Han Dynasty.

He even wondered if his horoscope was not quite right with Jiuding...

Jiuding is the city entered the day before yesterday.

Within two days, he received two bad news in a row.

The first article, Sun Wu, the general of the Youzhou Army, died in the battle. The new general of the Youzhou Army has not yet been finalized, and Guiguzi will temporarily take over the northern border for his grandson.

The second item, that is, what Li Si brought back now, Yingzheng refused to accept the surrender of the big man unless the big man agreed to his request to crack the soil and seal the king.

"Did he really say that?"

In the Yanqing Hall, Chen Sheng tapped on the king's case with a gloomy face, and asked Li Si, who was busy in the world below, and went straight to Changning Palace after returning to Jinling without even having time to change clothes.

Li Si hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Reporting to the king, the old minister is willing to guarantee with his head. If there is a word wrong, please ask the king to take the old minister's head!"

"That's not necessary."

Chen Sheng managed to force a smile and said, "Your Li Si's head is not something that Ying Zheng can match with a few words!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generosity!"

Li Si raised his hand to express his thanks, and he was a little relieved... He was actually nervous for messing up such a big event, but in front of Ying Zheng and others in Yongzhou, he couldn't weaken their power, it was true Bite the bullet and go straight back to Jinling without looking back.

After he calmed down his mind, he carefully explained how he used the momentum of the great victory of the Han army to coerce Yingzheng into defecting to the Han.

And Ying Zheng seemed to want to move at that time, but three days later he categorically refused, without any intention of wavering, all the whole story was reported to Chen Sheng.

Chen Sheng rubbed his short beard on his chin and listened carefully. After Li Si finished speaking, he sighed softly: "You took advantage of the victory of my Han army's giant deer to forcibly coerce Yingzheng to serve the big man. This is indeed a good move. Chess, but it's a pity that it was too hasty."

"Yingzheng is not like the ordinary reckless people who are strong and capable. A few words of intimidation can force them to surrender. Yingzheng comes from a famous family and has lofty aspirations. The harder you push him, the more rebellious he will be. Heavy, if cornered, even a rabbit will bite!"

After a pause, he went on to add: "Of course, Ying Zheng has a strong mind and is extremely tenacious. Even if Mr. Li can figure it out slowly, it will be difficult to gain anything. If you go straight to the point and there is still time and tongue left for lobbying, it can be regarded as a good one." It's a wise move."

Liss:  …

Don't they all say a big stick and a sweet date?

Why is this sweet date still thorny?

Chestnut?
"Okay, it's really not easy for you to travel and travel thousands of miles. You are allowed to take a three-day bath and wait until you have a good rest before going to court to perform your duties. By the way, the current government is implementing a new system and official system. Later You go back with a copy of the official document, take advantage of these few days to rest and study, and tell me your thoughts on the day you perform your duties..."

Li Si:? ? ?
He looked up at Chen Sheng in shock.

If he didn't know his king's temperament very well, he would have thought that this wave was called killing donkeys!

Chen Sheng didn't explain to him, he just waved his hands and said, "Don't look at me, just read the official documents at home!"

Li Si had no choice but to bid farewell: "The old minister is farewell, long live my king, long live long live!"

After Li Si withdrew from Yanqing Hall, Chen Shengqiang suppressed his distracting thoughts and reluctantly reviewed the memorial for a while in the hall, but he still couldn't feel at ease about the situation in northern Xinjiang. He put down his ink pen and walked into the hall, pacing back and forth with his arms folded.

It is said that people are inherently mortal, or they are heavier than Mount Tai, or heavier than other mountains.

The grandson's departure is more important than Mount Tai...

When the old man was alive, all the Kyushus were brainless, and there was no chaos in northern Xinjiang!
Now that his old man is gone, the chaos in northern Xinjiang has also begun!

For Chen Sheng, the chaos in northern Xinjiang is divided into three layers.

The first level is naturally the safety of Kyushu.

As far as Chen Sheng knew, the Youzhou army was able to withstand the repeated attacks of the dog army and the monster tribes outside the territory, and the old man's military skills played a great role!
In a sense, the grandson and his old man were boiled to death by dog ​​warriors and monsters from outside the territory...

Now that the old man has gone, the fighting power of the Youzhou Army will be greatly reduced. Can he stand up to another Guiguzi?

If Guiguzi can't stand it, there will be big trouble!
The second level is Guiguzi's position.

Yingzheng's chief of staff and chief general Wei Liao is Guiguzi's disciple, and Chen Sheng knew this a long time ago.

He didn't deal with Guiguzi before, so he knew it when he knew it, and didn't take it too seriously.

During the Battle of Julu earlier, Guiguzi appeared to stop him, so Chen Sheng was careful.

Now, he had to prevent Guiguzi from pulling sideways, and then secretly push the Youzhou Army to Yingzheng in the name of taking charge of the Youzhou Army on behalf of his grandson.

The third level, of course, is who will be the next general of the Youzhou Army.

Whether it is based on feelings or interests, Chen Sheng naturally hopes that the next general of the Youzhou Army will be his uncle Chen Ao.

When the uncle and nephew had a secret conversation earlier, although Chen Ao didn't explain what he said, Chen Sheng could understand the hidden meaning in his words: In view of the source of soldiers, food and supplies, his grandson should allow him to take over Youzhou on his behalf military affairs of the army.

So the question is, it is less than a month since their nephew and uncle talked secretly, has Chen Ao completed the heir procedures?Do the other four chief generals who are similar to him still recognize his procedures?

After the old general Lian Po died in battle, the five chief generals of the Bolang Army competed for the position of the general of the Bolang Army.

And now it is inconvenient for Chen Sheng to directly intervene in the military affairs of the Youzhou Army. After all, the Youzhou Army has not yet formally joined the Han, and now he can't wait to lead the candidates for the successor general, which will inevitably leave a "eating position" for more than 30 Youzhou Army soldiers. Too ugly" bad impression.

The more Chen Sheng paced, the more he frowned. The three layers of chaos evolved into dozens of possibilities in his mind, which made him wish to go to Youzhou to see the specific situation now.

But Zhao Qing is about to give birth, where is he...

Just when he was frowning, he suddenly saw a slender figure rushing into the palace door like a gust of wind, and shouted from a distance: "Brother, hurry up, elder sister is about to give birth..."

Whoever it is is not Ah Yu.

"Let's go!"

Chen Sheng was refreshed, and immediately suppressed all the distracting thoughts in his heart, took a step forward, pulled A Yu, and stepped out of the Yanqing Palace, soaring directly into the sky, and flew towards the harem.

Damn, don't think about it anymore, the soldiers come to block, and the water comes to the soil!
My task today is to be my father!
