The Yanming of the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 56 It is agreed that Shi Bin will lead the army to suppress the rebellion
Before Shi Hu summoned him, Yao Yizhong had already heard about the magnificence of Ye Palace, and now he was lucky enough to be introduced, and he paid more attention to it.I saw that the furnishings in the side hall are quite exquisite.There are several cases, carved lacquer and painted buildings, all of which are five-color flowers.A bronze mirror with a diameter of three feet is placed on it, and it is decorated with a pure gold dragon.The surroundings of the room are all covered with green tiling brocade, or fei ti ascending high brocade, or purple tiling brocade, which is extremely luxurious and has a delicate fragrance.It was severe winter, and there was no trace of chill, almost like a fairyland on earth.

"This emperor's place is good." Yao Yizhong muttered in a trance.

"I have known Mr. Yao for many years, but this is the first time I have invited you to meet here." When Yao Yizhong was in a daze, he heard a sound behind him, and Yao Yizhong hurriedly stepped forward and turned around to salute.

Shi Hu in front of Yao Yizhong no longer had the courageous appearance he had in the past, but was just a patient struggling to maintain himself.Even though he was wrapped in gorgeous clothes, he was indeed sick for a long time, his face was pale, and he was a dying old man.At this moment, Shi Hu couldn't get up anymore, so he ordered someone to lift the bed to meet him.

Yao Yizhong bowed his body and said: "Your Majesty has been seriously ill so far, I hope you take good care of the dragon's body."

Shi Hu smiled and said: "General Champion, when did you become so humble, ahem..." Shi Hu coughed after speaking for a while.There is an image of death.

The female official wanted to step forward to help Emperor Zhao, but Shi Hu's weight was so heavy that the maid couldn't help him, so Shi Hu waved his hand and said: "Forget it, the general and I are old acquaintances, so we don't stick to politeness."

Turning to Yao Yizhong, he said: "Your nature is straightforward, and everyone around me obeys me. I'd rather listen to you say 'you' to be more sympathetic."

Because Emperor Zhao appointed Shi Shi as the crown prince, Yao Yizhong was worried about Zhao Guo's government, and he was restless day and night.Now I heard that Li Nong and Liang Du fought in Xin'an and were defeated, and they fought in Luoyang and were defeated.Now Zhao's army has retreated to Chenggao.Although Shihu was cruel, but Yao Yizhong received Shihu's kindness, and the Qiang people were more than the Han people to save them.The situation in Zhao State collapsed so far, and he also burned all inside.At this time, Liang Du's army had already begun to attack Xingyang, Chenliu and other counties in the east.If we go north and cross the Yellow River, we may be in danger of besieging the two capitals of Zhao State.If Liang Du is not destroyed, the fall of Zhao State will be in our hands.

The rebel army is so powerful and the situation is critical, Shi Hu knew that Li Nong was no longer useful, so he hurriedly recalled him from the front line.

A few days ago, Li Nong remonstrated that the current Zhao army is not weak, but everyone has a heart of self-protection, and Liang Du's rebellion was originally determined to die.The battle between the two armies is all about bravery. If there is no one who is well-respected to lead the army, even though there are many soldiers, they may be defeated one by one.Li Nong bluntly said that his talent and morals are weak, and he does not take the important task of leading the army.

When Shi Hu heard this, he was silent for a long time, and asked Li Nong who could lead the army?
Li Nong only replied: "Your Majesty must have a plan in mind, so what's the use of my minister's remonstrance."

Shi Hu was not allowed to call Yan Wang Shi Bin back to Luan again to discuss countermeasures.Not only the Han people, but also Yao Yizhong, the champion general of the Qiang nationality, and Pu Hong, the chariot and cavalry general of the Di nationality, all returned to discuss the strategy of conquering Liangdu.Yao Yizhong heard that Emperor Zhao had summoned him, so he led his group of more than [-] people to Ye to ask to see Shi Hu.

I don't know if Shihu was unintentional or someone was obstructing it, I heard that Yao Yizhong and Yan Wang Shibin had a good relationship, when they came to Yecheng, they were not summoned for several days, and the palace servants only provided meals as comfort.

Yao Yizhong cursed loudly: "The emperor summoned me to attack the thief, and I should give the opportunity face to face. Did we come here for dinner!" The palace servants only advised him, don't be rash.Yao Yizhong was so angry that he overturned the table and cursed: "Now the emperor summons me but he doesn't see me, how do I know that life is actually death?"

But hearing such rebellious words, the palace people heard them and hurriedly reported them to Shi Hu.Na Cheng thought, Shi Hu knew that his nature was pure, frugal and straightforward, he didn't cultivate dignity, he made repeated remarks, and he couldn't avoid anything, Shi Hu took it very seriously.Then he said: "If Yao Yizhong said that he should have no second thoughts, but I still wonder why Mr. Yao didn't come for so long."

So Shi Hu hurriedly called Yao Yizhong into the palace to discuss the strategy of calming the chaos.At this time, someone also said: "Yao Yizhong leading the troops may have disobedience, Your Majesty should be careful."

Shi Hu only sent someone to summon him: "Yi Zhong came to help me, so you don't have to worry. Send Yao Yi Zhong to the palace to discuss matters."

At this time, Shi Hu invited Yao Yizhong to take a seat, and ordered people to serve tea quickly, and the monarch and ministers drank together.

The monarchs and ministers sat silently for a long time, and Shihu was ill for a long time, and his body could not hold on. He took the lead in saying: "I regret that I used the wrong person. If I had used Aiqing early, why did Guanzhong get to this point, and why did Liangdu think it was so chaotic. My illness is here. .Ahem..."

Yao Yizhong frowned, beat the ground with both fists, got up from the seat and moved forward, the female officer exclaimed: "What does Master Yao want to do?"

Yao Yizhong saw the stone tiger on the bed, but the ninety-five-year-old was confined to this small space, and said with a smile: "Your illness is serious, maybe it's not here?"

After hearing this, Shi Hu remained silent.

Seeing that Shi Hu already agreed in his heart, Yao Yizhong took advantage of the situation and continued, "Son, you're worried about evil? Otherwise, why would you get sick? When you were young, you didn't choose good people to teach you, and you ended up rebelling. Now, why punish him for being rebellious?" Worry! Besides, you have been ill for a long time, and your son is very young. If your illness persists for a long time, the world will be in chaos. You should worry about this first, and don’t worry about thieves.”

Shi Hu said dejectedly: "Now, the top priority is to destroy Liangdu. You should take a long-term plan."

Yao Yizhong saw that Shihu was so decadent, but it was rare to see him, and he knew that he should not be more intimidating, so he commented on the current situation: "Liang Du and others gathered together as robbers because they were poor and wanted to return. You should think deeply about how you can get here because of cruelty. Don’t worry, I, an old Qiang, will wipe out the thieves for you in one fell swoop!"

Yao Yizhong never speaks in vain, upon hearing what he said, Shi Hu hurriedly asked: "Mr. Yao is sure?"

"My lord, when the country is in a state of calamity, what's more, in our state of Zhao, Ran Min and Pu Hong are all capable ministers and brave generals, and they have not contributed at this time. Although you were cruel when you were in power, Liangdu was also cruel. Now use the division of ten states to destroy Liangdu. It is easy to be a teacher. In addition, King Shi Bin of Yan has always been popular, and the appointment of the governor is indeed what everyone expects. I only hope that you can maintain a clean government and protect the body of the dragon. I am afraid that if your majesty collapses, all the heroes in the four directions will rise together, and no one can do it. Suppress the mighty generals, and at that time, they will face each other with swords and swords, and they may be taken advantage of by other countries, such as Murong Yan in the north."

Shi Hu was quite conceited before, and he was surrounded by courtiers who flattered and flattered him, so he lost a lot in politics.Now that Shi Hu knew that his fate was not long, he was afraid that there would be no time to change it, so he remained silent for a long time.

Seeing this, Yao Yizhong got up and said, "Your Majesty, I hope you cherish it."

Shi Hu said disappointedly: "Mr. Yao, what reward do you want?"

I saw Yao Yizhong stretching out his hands to bow, and waving goodbye: "A gentleman should not break his promise lightly, that is, he has been established in the world of stone, and cannot be changed suddenly. I invite Shi Bin to be the prime minister to help the young king. Although Li Nong is weak in battle, he is loyal. Shi Shi, please also defend the city of Ye, so as to eliminate treacherous ministers. You, wait for me, an old Qiang, to calm down the civil strife before you come to ask for rewards." After finishing speaking, he rushed out of the door before saying hello.

"Hurry up, help me up," Shi Hu hurriedly helped him up from left and right.

Shi Hu only leaned against the gate of the palace, and said to himself: "I rule Kyushu with partial teachers. It is my fault that the whole country cannot destroy one of Liang Du's teachers. Fortunately, Yao Yizhong, the country of Zhao, passed on my will, and quickly sent people to announce the order. Yao Yizhong held the titles of Festival, Servant, and General of Zhengxi, and he was bestowed with armored horses."

At this time, Yang Huan, the general manager, arranged for the king of Yan to return to the palace and return to the palace. He said: "Your Majesty, the king of Yan and his ministers said that Ran Min was well-known in the begging army. In the battle of conquering Yan, only the whole army of Yan Min returned. His military strategy is not inferior to the generals. Yan Dao hopes that Ran Min will take over Li Nong's command and be in charge of the begging army."

"King Yan's move is also very appropriate, what do you mean by your words?"

Yang Huan leaned forward and said, "Shi Min is originally a Han Chinese, if once he gains momentum..."

"Director Yang," Shi Hu changed his weak voice, "I have entrusted the whole country of Zhao to the King of Yan, and the people he appoints must be good. What can I say?"

Yang Huan was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this old slave is just worried that the prince Shi Shi is too young to control him, so he is suddenly abrupt."

Shi Hu braced his body and said: "Director Yang, pass on my edict to make Yan Wang Shi Bin the governor of the Great Governor, to supervise all military forces at home and abroad, and to command the whole army of Zhao State to attack Liangdu. The food, military equipment, soldiers and horses, and generals all belong to Yan. Wang Jiezhi, you must solve the current predicament of Zhao Guo."

Yang Huan hurriedly said: "The old slave obeys the order."

Yan State, a city by the Tuhe River.Now the Zhao State has been disturbed by the Liang Du Rebellion, causing great chaos in the Heluo area of ​​Guanzhong, and many Zhao State exiles have entered the Yan territory.There were reports and secret letters submitted by scouts and detailed works everywhere, and the Yan army in Tuhe territory was eager to try for a while, and they all had the heart to go south.

Although Murong Jun, king of Yan, did not summon the order, Murong Ba took this opportunity to summon Gao Bi, Southern Captain Sun Yong, Beiping Prefect Sun Xing and other people to discuss matters in the army tent of Tuhe Town.

I saw Murong Ba sitting in the center of the mansion hall: "Everyone, I have received the report from the scouts. Now that Shi Zhao is in chaos, Liang Du has captured the two capitals of the former Jin Dynasty. At this moment, Chenliu and other counties and counties have been eastward. Zhao Guo The chaos in the country and the restlessness of the army is just a good time for our country of Yan to go south."

When everyone heard this, they all showed joy and were very excited.

Gao Bi got up and said, "Young Master's words are true. Now Zhao Guo's elites are gathered in Henan and Yan areas. The northern border is empty. This is a good opportunity for us to go south."

Sun Yong also said: "General, our Tuhe garrison can only protect ourselves. If we want to go south in a big way, we need my king's permission. Please call for soldiers from the capital. Only a strong army can conquer the Central Plains."

"What Master Sun said is true. I will write a letter to the King of Yan and ask him to send troops. The long-cherished wish of the previous kings of the Yan Kingdom has been fulfilled by my hands." After finishing speaking, Murong Ba was eager to get up and write a letter.

"Wait a minute, son." A charming voice pierced through the noisy middle hall.Murong Ba saw that it was Duan Xian, he was very pleasantly surprised, but also slightly sullen, and said: "Duan Xian, I am waiting to discuss important matters, you should step back and rest for now, wait for a while."

"Young master's discussion is a major matter for the military and the country. We women and Taoists can't predict the state affairs. However, we can't take care of so much for the sake of the bully."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly gave him the letter in his sleeve, and hurriedly exited the middle hall.

Murong Ba read the case carefully, his brows gradually tightened.Gao Bi seemed to have sensed something strange, and asked, "My lord, do you have any news from Zhao?"

Murong Ba only looked at everyone seriously, and said: "Looks like a centipede is dead but not stiff. I, the country of Yan, can't underestimate the country of Zhao."

Sun Yong hurriedly asked, "General, what do you mean?"

After finishing speaking, Murong Ba showed the letter to Duan Xian from Duan Qin, the old man of Duan Bu, to everyone. They waited for soldiers from all walks of life to encircle and suppress Liangdu. They also sent envoys to the Jin Dynasty, the land of Xu Shouchun. They also contacted the Zhang family of Liangzhou, and all the west of Yongcheng returned to their country. If he can turn his back on the past and let the past go, his father, brothers, wives and children are not rare in Ye City. Although Shi Hu is sick, he can still control the overall situation and command many powerful generals, and his power cannot be underestimated."

After reading the letter, Sun Xing also said: "Shi Leshi has managed the Central Plains for three generations. Although Liu Yuan was the culprit of the Yongjia rebellion, he conquered the city, overthrew the two capitals, slaughtered the Jin division, and captured Emperor Huai. Most of the achievements came from Shi Leshi. There are two uncles and nephews of the tiger. Now the state of Zhao occupies the land of ten states, with millions of armored soldiers and countless good horses and chariots. Although there is a small setback today, if the owner works hard, it will be like a mote of dust being wiped away. Easy as pie."

Gao Bi sighed and said: "The culprit of the chaos among the barbarians is also the one who should not underestimate the enemy." Then he changed his expression and said: "Oh, fortunately, the young master has a girl, she is really a bright light."

Everyone in the hall laughed.

"Everyone, all of you," Murong Ba tried his best to calm down, his laughter gradually subsided, and he slowly said to everyone, "Although we are fortunate to have heard from Miss Duan, we must also be prepared with arms to prevent danger and curb bandits. "

"We are following the general's orders."

The city of Ye was neatly regulated and its functions were clearly divided, with the palace, the inner city and the city all separated.There are two cities in Yecheng Trading Bazaar: Leping City and Jiankang City.

Leping City is mostly home to daily necessities such as salt, iron, and grain, and Jiankang City, as its name suggests, is mostly rare treasures from the Jin Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River. Collected here.

At this time, a person came from the Duanmen of Ye Palace, and after a long detour, he came to a restaurant facing the street in Jiankang City.

"Lord Li, does Your Majesty have any instructions?" Ran Min, who sat down at a seat along the street and had already been waiting here, hurriedly asked.

"You are sure, but now His Majesty is also panicked, and he ordered Yan Wang Shi Bin to command the army of Zhao State. Now not only I am begging for living troops, Yao Yizhong of the Qiang tribe, Pu Hong of the Di tribe are all leading the army. "Li Nong changed his mind and said with a smile, "Congratulations first, you have regained the military power of the begging army. I recommend you to your majesty and King Yan. The begging army is all subordinates of your father Shi Zhan, and the son inherits his father's business. As it is."

Ran Min hurriedly said: "Lord Li is too modest."

"I know you. Although your surname is Shi, this stone is different from that one. Your son has been repeatedly suppressed for his meritorious deeds. He is not a Han Chinese."

"Get out of the way, don't obstruct the officials." There was a commotion outside the wine shop.

Li Nong and Ranmin leaned on the railing to look out, but saw teams of messengers galloping on the street.Banners, banners fly behind believers.

Li Nong pointed to the banner behind the messenger, and said to Ran Min: "Look, behind the messenger is the white tiger banner, and His Majesty personally issued the order."

"You two, I can't say it, I can't say it. This is called Tianlu Banner, how can it violate the name of the current Holy Majesty." This is a young boy in a restaurant who is about to add tea to them, overheard, and hurriedly dissuades them.

Ran Min jokingly said: "Oh, really, I don't mean to offend you, but you have to cover it up for us."

"I don't know, the important matter was heard by the officials, so I have nothing to do." After finishing speaking, the little brother hurried away.

At this time, the dust was flying outside, and a group of lieutenant generals, who looked like they joined the army, only rushed to this side.

When I got outside the restaurant, I saw the leader, walked to the window of the two, knelt down and said: "General, please return to the camp quickly and discuss important matters."

"It turned out to be Zhang Wen, General Zhang, but I haven't seen each other since the first battle in Miannan. I miss him very much."

"There is a young master sitting in the army, my general is safe, young master please."

Ran Min just jumped off the window sill, clasped his hands to Li Nong on the horse, and said, "Master Li will meet later."
