Late Tang

"The wind is blowing!" Dujian said in a tired voice, and the personal guard stood behind him with his head on the wheelchair, silently accompanying him to climb the building and lean on the railing to look into the distance. .

After a long time, Yang Fuguang did not speak.

Yang Fuguang was right, the wind was indeed blowing.

That round of red sun in Pingxi has gradually faded to the west mountain. I don't know when it will rise, and then a cloud will rise, and dusk will suddenly fall.It didn't take long to reach the mountain temple and tower in the west, and the clouds gave birth to the sunset, and in a blink of an eye, the sky and the earth were different.The sky had already changed, and then a gust of cool wind blew over the city, making the city tower more and more empty and awe-inspiring.

The guards all knew the sky a little bit, and he who was often on the march knew that the wind was the vanguard of the rain. The wind had already blown, and the rain was imminent.

Especially in summer like this, there are often strong winds and showers.

"When the stream cloud first rises, it's Shen Pavilion, and the mountain rain is about to come and the wind fills the building." A majestic voice came along with the sound of footsteps. The guards all looked up and saw that it was the servant, the inspector Taiwei, and Yiwu. Jiedu envoy Wang Chucun came, and he just nodded coldly to him.As Yang Fuguang's confidant and chief bodyguard, he doesn't have a good impression of Wang Chucun, who just now knows his destiny.Wang Chucun was born in Jingzhao Wannian, born in a family. His father, Wang Zong, used to be the inspector, Sikong, and led the Xingyuan Army Jiedushi. contacts.Wang Chucun joined the Shence Forbidden Army early with his father's shadow. In the early years, he was actually a member of the Yang family in the Forbidden Army, but later he took refuge in Tian Lingzi. A few years ago, someone was assassinated in the palace. Wang Chucun led the Shence Army to rescue him and won the emperor Li Xuan If you trust, you will be granted the title of Jiedushi of the Yiwu Army.Unfortunately, he was not lucky.Although I have to be a commander in chief of a town.It's a pity that before he took office, the towns in Hebei turned against the imperial court. After that, Yiwu Town changed several owners, but Wang Chucun never got one.

Huang Chao broke Chang'an, and Wang Chucun escorted him to Xichuan. Later, when the situation got better, Tian Lingzi led his army to participate in the Battle of Guanzhong.As a result, when Chang'an was regained for the first time, he was greedy for meritorious deeds and was shot back by Huang Chao. He almost died. Although he escaped, the soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses.Afterwards, the Tian family fell out of favor, and the Yang brothers became favored, and Wang Chucun joined the Yang brothers again.

But the bodyguard Dutou has always disliked Wang Chucun, who has always been very personable and unrestrained, even his brother Wang Chuzhi doesn't like it either.In his opinion.This kind of noble son can have today's status, all relying on his family background and wealth.Not much of a real skill.

Wang Chucun is always so chic, he walks without rush, he is in his early fifties, but he looks like he is not yet forty, with black hair, sword eyebrows and star eyes, red lips and teeth, he is too handsome up.

The wind blew past, and the sky became more and more gloomy, and even every time I took a breath, I could feel the moisture in the air.Yang Fuguang undoubtedly also smelled it, so he sat quietly on the wheelchair. This wheelchair was made by the best imperial craftsman in the palace. It was made of red sandalwood, and the wheels were made of ebony. The wheels of this wheelchair can also turn. You don't even need to be pushed by someone, you can implement it conveniently by yourself.The car is also equipped with extremely comfortable goose down cushions.

For most of the day after dusk, Yang Fuguang has been sitting here, watching the sun go down to the western mountains, the wind is raging, and the rain is about to come!

Wang Chucun is always so elegant, he is a noble son with great etiquette, but he is by no means an excellent commander, the head of the guards once heard Yang Gong say so about Wang Chucun.

When his elegant figure appeared on the tower, Yang Fuguang didn't turn his head, but just waved his hand as a greeting. "It turns out that Yunxian has also read this poem by Xu Hun!"

The sixth grandson of Xu Yushi, Prime Minister of Empress Wu Dynasty.In the sixth year of Wenzong's reign as a Jinshi, he successively served as Dangtu, Taiping Ling, supervisory censor, Runzhou Sima, Yubu member Wailang, Mu and Ying Erzhou governors.Yang Fuguang also read his poems. In his later years, Xu Hun returned to Dingmaoqiao Village in Runzhou to live at leisure, and compiled his own collection of poems, called "Dingmao Collection".His poems are all in a similar style, especially the five or seven rhymes, the syntax is mature and steady, and the tones are flat and tonal, forming a style of its own, which is the so-called "Dingmao style".Most of the poems write "water", so there is an irony of "Xu Hun's thousand poems are wet".Although Yang Fuguang read his poems, he did not admire him for long. In his eyes, Xu Hun was just like Wen Tingyun. Their poems blindly pursue leisure and leisure, but they are actually escaping from reality.Their writing level is very high, but they lack a vigorous and noble personality, revealing a weak personality.

Wang Chucun liked Xu Hun's poems, but he was not surprised at all.Isn't Wang Chucun such a representative in his bones?

When Yang Fuguang named Xu Hun, he was a little surprised, but he quickly saw that Yang Fuguang didn't want to talk about Xu Hun.Moreover, he didn't come here to talk about Xu Hun. "Duke Yang, Taiyuan is lost, and Hedong Township has all fallen into Li Jing's hands. Except for Brother An Jinquan and Li Keyong's young son Li Cunxu who escaped from Hedong Township, the rest of the soldiers and horses are gone. The Shatuo Fan Army is gone.” Although Wang Chucun was not considered by Yang Fuguang to be a general in charge of the army, in fact, from a general point of view, Wang Chucun, the noble son who has just turned 50, is an experienced general.The imperial guards have been guarding for many years, and they have fought many small battles. Even in the battle of Chang'an, in such a dangerous situation, he was able to break through. It can also be seen that he is not useless. Compared with people like Jing, they are inferior. Wang Cuncun is also at the same level as Zhou Bao, the former general of the Forbidden Army. He can be a general, but not an admiral.He is tall, long and strong, but does not look rough. He is wearing a dark gold woven gold silk cloak full of his taste and style, and the armor on his body is the same dark gold plate armor. The family military workshop was modeled on the plate armor of the Qin Army.A jade-decorated sword hung from his waist, and a pair of dark gold gloves woven with gold silk hung on his hands. This attire combined with his figure and face was really eye-catching.

Yang Fuguang still didn't turn his head: "Our family already knows about this news."

"Then Yang Gongdang also knows that Li Jing is not satisfied with this. He has already sent troops to Zhenwu, Baoda, Zhaoyi, Heyang and other places at the same time? Moreover, Li Jing personally sits in Taiyuan and also Sending his three sworn brothers to attack Hanoi south?" Wang Chucun asked Yang Fuguang.

"Duke Yang already knows about it." The guards were all dissatisfied with Wang Chucun's attitude, "Duke Yang received the military information from Hedong last night."

The urgent and urgent military secret letter was delivered by Feige in the fastest time.When Yang Fuguang returned to this letter.I almost guessed the result.He hasn't opened it for a long time.He sat in the study for a whole night.Sleep all night.Finally, when the morning sun shone into the window, he finally opened the seal and read the letter in front of the window facing the morning light.

Wang Chucun clasped his hands together, "Li Jing's offensive was too fast and sharp. It only took him one month to level the two towns of Chengde and Weibo, which had stood in Hebei for more than a hundred years. It took more than half a month to occupy the northern important town of Hedong. Li Jing went to three towns in a row, and he hardly experienced any battles. His soldiers and horses are still strong, food and grass are still abundant, and he can still continue to go south. Yang Gong, Wang Chongrong in the river We can't stop Li Jing, if Hezhong is captured again, the two capitals will be in danger!"

Yang Fuguang was sitting in a wheelchair with a bitter expression on his face. The situation in the two capitals was critical. Could it be that he didn't know?

The plan is always unable to keep up with the changes. The purpose of the peace negotiation with Li Jing was to keep the imperial court's lack of strictness.In order to revive the court.He even did not hesitate to abandon the second town of Hebei to compromise with Li Jing.I thought I could get some respite.But who would have thought that this would become a life-threatening rope instead.

Not only did he underestimate Li Jing, he also underestimated Zhu Wen, and he also overestimated Li Keyong.

Originally thought that Zhu Wen was just a traitor who had returned to the team, and no one would intervene in dealing with him.Although he didn't think that Zhu Wen was completely incompetent like others, but he only thought that Zhu Wen was at most at the level of Ge Congzhou and others, and the court still had this strength to deal with Zhu Wen.Cleaning up Zhu Wen and seizing his territory and troops can just expand the strength of the imperial court, and at the same time, it is also an example of killing chickens and monkeys.

It was too late to regret everything, and Li Keyong, who had relied heavily on him, died at the hands of Li Keyong.Although he took half of Zhu Wen's territory and the two towns of Shanguo and Jinshang, after all the calculations, he didn't win this plan, he didn't win, Zhu Wen didn't win, and even Tian Lingzi didn't win. They underestimated Li Jing, and Li Jing was the biggest winner.

Although he captured two towns and instigated Yang Shili's rebellion, he lost even more. Li Keyong died, so Hedong Township was also lost.Zhu Wen turned to the bandits, making Xuanwu in the east of Luoyang, the original barrier of Luoyang, now Luoyang's biggest confidant.Even Xuzhou was swallowed by Zhu Wen.What is even more dangerous is that the originally planned pig-killing operation was just a small battle that could be settled quickly, but now, it has become a chaotic battle. The two courts of Chang'an and Chengdu have already fought inextricably. Li Jing, who has been eyeing him all this time, can finally reap the benefits of being a fisherman.And the chaotic war in Shannan made Jingnan, Eyue, Shannan, Hunan, Jiangxi and other places that the Chang'an court had finally won over lose control again.

Li Jing has leveled Hebei and captured Taiyuan, and his sharp claws have stretched out in front of Luoyang and Chang'an, and the situation has completely changed.

Under the banner above the city gate, Yang Fuguang was sitting in a wheelchair. A series of blows, coupled with the long-term exhaustion of leading the army, made him seriously ill. It's just that he had been holding on all the time, but now, he finally couldn't hold on. up.He had to sit in a wheelchair and couldn't even walk, with a pair of sick legs propped in front of him, deep bags under his cloudy eyes, whether the insomnia for several days was due to physical pain or continuous The blow of bad news, the people around have no way of knowing.

Teams of guards on the walls on both sides are guarding. The situation is getting worse and worse, so that there are more and more guards on the city, and the atmosphere is getting more and more tense.

"Not long ago, Huang Chao's army swept in. Tian Lingzi gave up the defense of the eastern capital and withdrew his troops back to Chang'an. Then, he took the emperor to hunt west in a hurry, and left without a fight. Huang Ni. It's easy to send it out, but it took a lot of difficulty to regain the two capitals. You participated in both battles in Chang'an, you should know."

Wang Chucun nodded. He will never forget the battle of Chang'an. In the first battle, he almost lost his hand in the city of Chang'an.The second time, he finally avenged his blood hatred, and the current official title was rewarded for his contribution to recovering Chang'an.

Yang Fuguang patted his knees, and there was a trace of determination in his cloudy eyes: "Our family is not Tian Lingzi, and we will never give up the two capitals. Since Li Jing is aggressive and refuses to let it go, then we have no choice but to accompany him to the end and fight endlessly. !"

"The bloody battle is endless!" Wang Chucun and the guards couldn't help shouting, with a bit of excitement in their expressions. No matter what, they are all soldiers, and no soldier is willing to flee before fighting, let alone Tian Lingzi. Flee to Xichuan, and where can they escape, to the Western Regions?

"Yunxian, our family plans to let you lead 3 people to reinforce Hezhong Wang Chongrong, do you dare to go?"

Wang Chucun stood up straight, and said in a deep voice: "Use me in the first battle, use me to win, please rest assured, Mr. Yang, I will guard the river to the death, and will never let Li Jing go south, let alone let them cross the Yellow River!"

"Well, very good!" Yang Fuguang nodded earnestly. If there is a good candidate, he does not intend to entrust this difficult task to him, but when he looks around, there is really no suitable candidate around him.There are no generals in Shu, and Liao Hua is the vanguard.

Back then, there were also famous generals in the imperial court, such as Cui Anqian, Zhang Zimian, Zeng Yuanyu, etc. Unfortunately, these people have now become important ministers and generals under Li Jing's command.Even a titan like Li Keyong died at the hands of Zhu Wen.The rest of the generals are all commanders-in-chief. Even at this critical moment, if you want to transfer them to resist Li Jing, I'm afraid it's impossible.

After Wang Chucun bid farewell and left to prepare troops to rescue Hezhong, Yang Fuguang sat in the wheelchair and meditated silently for a long time, and finally he said in a hoarse voice, "Call the secretary to come over."

The secretary in charge was sent soon, and Yang Fuguang said: "Our family needs to write some letters, I want you to write them."

The first letter Yang Fuguang wanted to write was to Zhu Wen, but this letter was neither a persuasion nor a threat. Instead, it was a letter intending to abandon the previous feud with Zhu Wen, reconcile, and jointly fight against Li Jing.This surprised both the secretary in charge and the guards. They never expected that Duke Yang would have such an idea.What shocked them even more was that not long ago, Mr. Yang planned a pig-killing operation, and even seized the two towns of Zhu and Wen and killed Zhu and Wen's elder brother in one fell swoop, but now they can still write to him as if nothing happened. Zhu Wen said that he would abandon the misunderstanding, regardless of previous suspicions, and everyone joined hands.The secretary in charge thought while writing, how could Zhu Wen agree to such a proposal?

But the second letter made them even more surprised. The second letter was written to Tian Lingzi, also asking for reconciliation and joining hands to deal with Li Jing.Moreover, Yang Fuguang even showed considerable sincerity. He abandoned Yang Shili, who had just instigated rebellion, and promised that as long as Tian Lingzi agreed to put aside his past suspicions and fight Li Jing together, he would give Yang Shili's head to Tian Lingzi and restore Dongchuan Town. To Tian Lingzi.

The wrist of the secretary in charge was hanging there, and the tip of the pen did not fall down several times. He looked up at Yang Fuguang with some doubts, and felt that Yang Fuguang was in a hurry to go to the doctor, or was he completely confused?Otherwise, how could it be possible to join forces with Zhu Wenwen and Tian Lingzi?

Yang Fuguang said calmly, "Write it down exactly as our family said!" He knew what the secretary was thinking, but he was not crazy or confused, but was fully aware of the current situation and situation.Li Jing is too strong, and Chang'an is already hard to resist. If he continues to fight with Zhu Wen and Tian Lingzi at this time, Zhu Wen and Tian Lingzi will be fine for a while, but the Chang'an court will die immediately.United Wu against Wei, this is the only way out, Yang Fuguang believes that Zhu Wenwen and Tian Lingzi can also understand the current situation. . )
