Be an emperor from drawing cards

Chapter 119 Divination and Divination, work together!
Outside Xuanwu Gate.

Zhao Yu rode a handsome royal horse, accompanied by a group of courtiers, and boarded the platform that had been set up outside Xuanwu Gate.

From top to bottom, Zhao Yu's cheeks flushed slightly as he looked at the more than [-] soldiers lined up.

The courtiers were all a little shocked when they looked at the soldiers and generals who were lined up neatly and quietly killing in solemnity below.

Since when did this sergeant in the capital actually have such a hint of a strong military?
Whether they are soldiers from the Beijing camp, city guards or palace guards, they all stand solemnly, forming a row when viewed horizontally and a line when viewed vertically.

With 5 soldiers and horses, except for the occasional snorting of the cavalry's horses and the sound of the soldiers breathing, there was no sound at all!
"Unexpectedly, in addition to Commander Zhang, Governor Huang is also a good hand in training troops. It has only been about three months, but he has managed to organize these soldiers in a good manner."

Even Wang Pu, who was standing to the left of Zhao Yu, could not hide the surprise in his eyes, let alone other ministers.

"I, Zhang Xiu, have met Your Majesty!"

Zhang Xiu, who was at the forefront of the generals, took a step forward and said loudly:
"Now the training of fifty thousand soldiers has been completed. Please give me your instructions!"

"Da Chu will be victorious, victorious, victorious!"

As Zhang Xiu finished speaking, [-] soldiers shouted in unison, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was falling. It was deafening and made people's blood boil. It made people lose their minds and their complexions changed.

"it is good!"

Zhao Yu clasped his hands tightly, suppressing his excitement, and powerful energy circulated throughout his body, and said loudly:

"With such a strong army, why should I worry about the uncertainty of the southern border and the immortality of the Burmese invaders!"

"Zhang Xiu, Wang Xiongdan, Wu Song, Yin Shou!"

Zhang Xiu and four others came out of the queue after hearing the sound and said loudly:

"The end is here!"

"Tell the three armies to set off and follow me to determine the southern border and destroy the Burmese invaders!"

Zhao Yu waved his hand and said loudly.

"We, please obey the Holy Order!"

Fifty thousand soldiers and horses responded in unison, and under the leadership of generals at all levels, slowly moved towards the west gate of Kyoto City.

"I will entrust all matters in this sacred capital to your ministers."

After getting off the general platform, Zhao Yu got on his horse, looked at the courtiers, and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will live up to your Majesty's trust."

All the court officials headed by Wang Pu bowed and raised their hands.

Looking at Yu Fan in the crowd, Zhao Yu's eyes moved slightly and said:
"Yu Zhongxiang, I have often heard that you are quite accomplished in Yi hexagram divination. Now that the army is about to conquer, do you dare to predict a hexagram for me and my great Chu?"

The reason why he said "dare" instead of "willing" was because Zhao Yu knew that Yu Fan was a man of arrogant temperament, and it would be better to challenge him than to simply invite him.

Sensing that everyone around him was looking at him, even though he knew that His Majesty was provoking the general, Yu Fan felt a surge of pride in his heart, raised his hands and said loudly:

"Your Majesty is so eloquent, how can a humble minister be afraid of making a fool of himself?"

With that said, Yu Fan took out a turtle shell and twelve copper coins from his sleeve robe.

Yu Fan held the turtle shell in his left hand, and with his right hand, he pulled all the twelve copper coins into the turtle shell.

"Grrrr...gurgle...gurgle..."

Along with the sound of the turtle shell shaking, twelve copper coins flew out of the turtle shell and fell to the ground.

In the eyes of everyone, every six copper coins are faintly connected, each forming a hexagram.

"The main hexagram is Kan, and Kan is water, which is danger; the guest is Kun, and Kun is earth, which is smooth. Your Majesty, this is the division hexagram in the 64 hexagrams, which means to go through danger and go smoothly. Soldiers are fierce and war is dangerous, so there are "The major affairs of the country are sacrifices and military affairs, which must be done by the saints as a last resort." Your Majesty is the master of Chu and has a famous teacher. Therefore, although the Kan hexagram is dangerous, it will eventually turn into Kun. Although there are dangers in your Majesty's journey, it will eventually turn into "Kun". What is bad is good, and you will return victorious.”

Yu Fan looked at the two hexagrams on the ground and said loudly.

"Okay, I will borrow your good words from Yu Qing today!"

As his eyes flashed, Zhao Yu laughed loudly, and the huge roulette wheel appeared in his field of vision again.

The light shone and danced, and a white card appeared in front of Zhao Yu.

[(White) Ceka: Working together as one heart]

[Card description: The whole country works together to support the country.So, why worry about Jiangdong being uncertain?Why worry about the world being uneasy? 】

[Card effect: In the state of personal expedition, the morale of the entire army increases by 15 points, the training level increases by 15 points, the movement speed increases by 10%, the attack power of the forward soldiers +5%, and the defense power of the middle and rear soldiers +5%; If equipped with Junka [Changsha Hengwang - Sun Ce], the attack power of the entire army will increase by an additional 5%. 】

Yes, although it is a white card, it is just right for use now!
Seeing Zhao Yu leading an army of [-] people leaving Shenjing in a mighty manner, Bu Zhi, who was closest to Yu Fan, reached out and poked Yu Fan's waist, and asked in a low voice:
"Is this hexagram really as Zhongxiang said?"

Yu Fan glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention. Fang Shuyin formed a line and said to Bu Zhao:
"Brother Zishan, although I am quite proud of my tactical skills, military and state affairs are not trivial, so I had no choice but to use some small tricks."

In the face of this kind of thing, if I figure out a bad divination, how should I explain it to His Majesty and the officials?
In this case, it is better to be more flexible. Anyway, it is all to boost the morale of the army and increase His Majesty's confidence.

When Bu Zhi heard this, his eyes suddenly widened and he cursed in his heart:

What a coward, Yu Zhongxiang, he dares to do something about such a big thing, his courage is really extraordinary!
But after thinking about it, he understood the other party's difficulty, sighed softly, and said no more.

At the same time that Zhao Yu personally led an army of [-] people to the south, Du Yu, Wei Yan, and Gao Lan also left Shenjing City, preparing to go north to Ningjiang Prefecture to serve under the general Guan Haocang.

However, as soon as the three of them left the city gate, they met a person they had never expected.

His Majesty's personal chamberlain, Gao Lishi, the chief chamberlain!
"I've never seen a tall ermine!"

Du Yu and the others saluted quickly, and even Wei Yan, who had always been unruly, did the same.

This person is His Majesty's confidant and celebrity, and he cannot afford to offend him.

"You three, let's go to a secluded place to talk."

Gao Lishi turned sideways and received the three and a half salutes, then returned the salutes and said with a smile.

The four of them walked to a quiet and uninhabited place. Gao Lishi took out a brochure bag from his sleeve, handed it to Du Yu, and whispered:
"This is His Majesty's order to hand our family over to Mr. Du. Mr. Du will take it apart and look at it after meeting with General Guan."

After saying that, he cupped his hands towards the three people and said: "We still have things to do in the palace, so I would like to say goodbye to the three adults. I would like to wish you all success and victory."

After Gao Lishi finished speaking, without waiting for Du Yu and the others to speak, he turned and walked towards the Shenjing City.

"This Gao Diaojun seems to be quite wary of us?"

Wei Yan looked at Gao Lishi's figure and frowned.

Du Yu smiled and said: "General Wen Chang made the mistake of blaming Gao Diaojun. He is a smart man and knows the balance between the outer dynasty and the inner palace. He is just a point away from us. However, I am curious. , What did your Majesty write in this brocade bag?"

"As long as Du Canjun arrives at General Guan's place one day earlier, wouldn't he be able to take it apart and look at it one day earlier?" Gao Lan said with a smile.

"What General Gao said is true. Let's go too!"

Du Yu laughed and dismounted the horse lightly.The three of them headed north towards Juechen.

…………

On the Jianing River, dozens of warships cut through the wind and waves, coming from the north to the south of the river.

On the warship, a middle-aged general with an elegant face stood with his sword in his hand. His eyes looking towards the south bank were full of worry.

This person was none other than Fang Zhe, the former magistrate of Yixuan County who was ordered to go south.

Just three days ago, he received Zhao Yu's order and was promoted to the military supervisor of Jiaxing Prefecture. He also ordered himself to command the troops and quickly cross the river to station in Ningtong to resist the rebels.

Although he knew that he would never be able to return, he still bid farewell to his wife, children and children at home, and handed over the affairs of the county to his deputy, the county magistrate and the county lieutenant, and led the soldiers gathered to go south.

In order to buy enough time, he immediately sent two troops after receiving the order.

One group went to the Jianing River Navy and asked the navy generals to prepare boats to cross the river; the other group went to the surrounding counties of Jiaxing to publicize the imperial court's anti-rebellion army, and claimed that there were two armies heading to Ning. Tong is stationed, while the other group is waiting for an opportunity to cut off the rebels' retreat.

I only hope that these methods of my own can delay the rebels for a day or two, giving me time to integrate the soldiers and generals under my command to respond to the enemy.

With such a mood, Fang Zhe set foot on the land of Jiaxing Mansion.

…………

Jiang Fangshun stood in the government office of Suilincheng, looking at the soldiers running back and forth in the streets, with a proud look on his face.

These soldiers were all recruited from the Miao, Yi and other tribes. Now they have embarked on the road of rebellion. There is no chance of turning back except for the dark side.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for Jiang Fangshun and the Qi State behind him.

Yes, Jiang Fangshun was a secret spy of Qi State. He had been deployed in Miao territory for nearly three years under the guise of trade.

I originally thought that he would wait until the Qi army crossed the river to move south, but I didn't expect that His Majesty and the imperial court would use his arrangements in order to transfer Guan Fuguo away.

But this is fine, even if the plan fails, the loss will only be a mere tens of thousands of taels of property, but the loss of Chu State is far more than that.

As soon as the cannon rang, the gold was ten thousand taels.

The army went out to quell the rebellion, the people were eaten, the horses were chewed, and the compensation and rewards were not a small sum. This did not include the unrest in the Miao border that caused the instability of the people in the southwest of Chu State.

It took three years and tens of thousands of taels of property to cause such turmoil in the Chu State and consume a lot of national power. For the Qi State Court, it was a good thing that came at no cost!

It is precisely because of such considerations that he was sent to this poor and remote place by His Majesty.

And he did not live up to His Majesty's trust. Through a steady stream of property, he won over a large number of small and medium-sized tribal leaders and some Chu officials.

It's a pity that Chen Zan has a bad and tough personality, he is like a stone in the pit, and he refuses to be close to him and refuses to be close to him.

However, this man has a prudent character and has great military morale. Unless he is defeated, the Suilincheng rebels can only look forward to it and sigh.

Fortunately, Chen Zan took part in the banquet in his mansion and was knocked down by Chunfengsu.

Haha, I deliberately increased the dose just in case, and gave this person three times as much as others.

Even if it were an elephant, after drinking this dose, its feet would be weak and its legs would be numb, and it would be impossible to stand up!

After the plan was successful, he sent his confidants to kill the city gate defenders, opened the city gate, and let the rebels into the city, finally taking full control of Suilin City.

The only flaw was that Chen Zan woke up, cursed loudly after learning the situation, and was killed by the brainless Qu Li with a knife.

Miao territory is too far away from Qi State. In desperation, your Excellency has left and went to Qi State with a secret message to report to His Majesty.The rest here is all up to yourself and the rebels.

As long as the trouble on our side gets bigger and the delay is longer, it is best to defeat a few more troops who come to counter the rebellion, then the greater the possibility that Guan Haocang will be transferred to counter the rebellion, and the imperial court will wait for an opportunity to send troops southward. The chances will be greater.

As for whether the rebels led by Qu Li and other tribal leaders could withstand the Chu army led by Guan Haocang, this was not what he, a secret spy of Qi, considered.

By that time, I should have returned to the Eastern Capital to accept His Majesty's reward...

Jiang Fangshun thought this way.

"Sir, Leader Qu and the others are here."

After hearing the report from his servants, Jiang Fangshun's expression straightened up, and a harmless smile appeared on his round face again.

"How are the gains for the leaders?"

Looking at the several tribal leaders who came in hand in hand, Jiang Fangshun asked with a smile.

"As expected of a Chu native, his family's assets are extremely rich. Unfortunately, in the end, he got an advantage over me and others."

After Qu Li finished speaking, he laughed with several tribal leaders.

In the past few days, they had sent troops to rob the big houses in the city, but they had made a huge fortune.

My years of savings are nothing compared to the wealth in the hands of these wealthy families.

But now, it’s all yours!
"Chiefs, do you have any plans for the next step?"

After everyone had finished laughing, Jiang Fangshun raised his hands and asked.

"Brother Jiang, we are here to discuss this matter with you."

When talking about business, Qu Li's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.

"Yes, Brother Jiang, our scouts heard some rumors around Suilin City. The matter is important and I can't decide for a while, so I asked Brother Jiang to discuss a charter."

A tribal leader spoke.

"This is not a good place for discussion. Let's go, everyone, let's go into the mansion and discuss it in detail."

Jiang Fangshun stretched out his hand and invited everyone into the house with a smile.

Several people entered the government office lobby and took their seats.

After hearing Qu Li tell the military information that the scouts had discovered, Jiang Fangshun couldn't help but frown and asked in doubt:

"The Imperial Court of Chu State sent two armies to suppress the rebellion, and they have already crossed the Jianing River? Is the Imperial Court of Chu State so decisive in sending troops?"

Qu Li whispered:
"My younger brother was afraid of falling into the other side's trick, so he specially asked the brothers from the clan to check around Ningtong. We did see a steady stream of soldiers and horses entering the city. This must be one of the armies. But the other army has not been discovered. Maybe As rumored, they are ambushing us in the dark, ready to give us a hard blow!"

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Fangshun looked at the stern-looking tribal leaders and asked.

"Since those bastards from the Chu State sent out troops so quickly, we must not be careless and be cautious, and we must not fall into the Chu people's tricks. According to my brother's wishes, we will first spend a few days in Suilin City. Reorganize your troops and horses, and then attack Ning Tong to build up your momentum!" Qu Yi said without hesitation.

Jiang Fangshun smiled.

"When a large army goes out on an expedition, it should be cautious. I have no objection. It's just what Leader Yiqu said."
