Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The time for the five-day surrender of the Shu State within the deadline has long passed, and Meng Chang clearly has no intention of surrendering. For more exciting novels, please visit q.e

Previously, Zhou Jundong Road started from Suizhou on April 18, and arrived in Mianzhou on April 23, and was surrendered to Mianzhou City on April 23. Shi Yanchao led his troops northward to march towards Jianmen Pass on April 23 and attacked 200 Ninety miles, suddenly arrived at Jianmenguan on April 29.

Shu general Han Baozheng hurriedly gathered troops and horses to fight, and the two armies fought in Hanyuanpo. Shi Yanchao personally led a heavy cavalry to break through the Shu camp, from the central hole through the Shu camp half a mile, and drove straight into unstoppable, burning the flag of the Shu army; the main general Han Baozheng led his own soldiers to fight to death, and was shot by Shi Yanchao. | Pierced the chest. More than 10,000 people in the Shu army collapsed and countless surrendered.

On that day, Jianmen Pass was captured and the door opened wide. Xianggong Cao Bin led 40,000 troops into the pass. The defense line of Shu North Road has thus completely collapsed, and the battle against Shu has just passed two months.

Guo Shao heard the news and Xianjun approached Chengdu.

...

At the main hall of the Imperial City of Chengdu, Meng Chang looked at the number of people in the court, which was obviously much less than usual, and asked, "Where are some ministers, why don't they go to court?"

A civil official took out a stack of memorials, and whispered: "Your Majesty, these are called illnesses. There are also concubines in the family who are about to give birth to children, and those who are injured on horseback..."

Meng Changyang sighed: "My Meng family has been a veteran of many years, why did they treat me like this?" After saying this, tears flowed down, and all the sparse princes of His Highness were sad.

On a cloudy day, the wind was blowing outside, pouring into the hall, causing the curtains on both sides to swing. No one in the temple spoke, only the wind. Meng Chang only felt that this majestic palace had become extremely desolate at this time, and the curtains were turbulent as if the entire imperial city was swaying and crumbling in the wind.

Meng Chang raised his head, looked to the east and listened. It was still quiet all around... In fact, all the news was heard from others, so far I have not seen a Sergeant Zhou in person. Maybe all this is a dream, all fake!

But in the wind, I really heard the roar of Jin Ge Iron Horse in a trance.

Mrs. Huarui persuaded him last night to disband the harem and let the maids go home. She said that even if they didn't let them go, she couldn't keep the festival for Your Majesty. The Zhou army soldiers who came for two thousand miles would definitely indulge their troops. They would treat this place as a big brothel and wantonly insult His Majesty's wives and court ladies.

"You..." Meng Chang was furious, ashamed and anxious. "One by one, you will all be killed|national slaves! Your property will be taken away, and your wives and concubines will be taken to the military camp and used as prostitutes. Let go of you!" His fingers trembled.

The voice echoed in the empty hall, with an inexplicable atmosphere of fear in the echo.

He suddenly said loudly: "Fight against Zhou Jun! Who will fight for me?"

No one responded, and Meng Chang was furious: "I want to be the master!" At this time, a crowd of people hurriedly persuaded him, but Meng Chang yelled, "Do you think I can't lead soldiers? I am the son of the ancestor..."

At this moment, an **** ran in to report: "Hou Mao has returned from riding alone, he is outside the hall, but his clothes are not neat..."

"Which Hou Mao?" Meng Chang asked.

The **** said: "Xingzhou defense envoy, guard Qingniling, the general who made meritorious service."

Meng Chang seemed to remember, and said, "Come in."

After a long time, I saw a short general walked into the hall. This guy's armor was already in tatters, and he was in ragged clothes with a sword hanging from his waist. Immediately a civil official said: "Who is he, dare to bring the sword to the palace!"

The **** said: "Li Shijun, you must see clearly that the sword is the sword of the ancestor. Who dares to seize his sword?"

After listening, Hou Mao took off his saber from his waist and knelt down on the temple, holding the sword in his hands. His expression looked a bit dull: "Your Majesty, this sword was given to my father by the great ancestor, and my father used it to protect it. For the people who have passed through the Kingdom of Shu, the current ministers cannot protect the land and the people for your majesty. They are ashamed of the royal family's long grace and ashamed of their father, and return this sword. Please give the minister a death apology."

Everyone was silent suddenly.

Meng Chang said: "How did you come back?"

Hou Mao said: "The ministers first stood at Qingniling and waited for assistance. Zhou army swarmed and attacked from multiple sides. After our troops dispersed, our troops were sparsely broken through the defense line. The minister led the army to retreat and heard that General Han’s reinforcements had arrived in Xingzhou. He led the remaining troops to join General Han. The general gathered troops from all over Xingzhou, concentrated his forces and defeated Zhou Jun in a decisive battle. General Han retired from Bao Jianmen Pass, and the end general followed...

On April 29th, Zhou Jundong Road went through the entire territory of Shu, and detoured to Jianmenguan. General Han died in battle at Hanyuanpo. The minister was ordered to stay at Jianmen Pass. At that time, most of the soldiers had fled. The Zhou army fought inside and outside. The minister had no choice but to gather the crowd at Jianmen Pass and was defeated. The minister fell from the city into the ravine, and luckily survived, he returned by walking the path at night. "

Meng Chang was moved by hearing it, and walked off the throne. Hou Mao quickly picked up the saber again.

"What is your military position?" Meng Chang asked.

Hou Mao said: "Xingzhou Defense Envoy."

Meng Chang said, "I heard that you have done meritorious service, but no one will promote you?"

"Promoting...what kind of official?" Hou Mao hurriedly said, "The minister is not brave enough. My father once said that he could not go to martial arts. He first learned nothing. Then he inherited his father's mantle and learned martial arts. "

Meng Chang said, "I will designate you as the Marshal of Soldiers and Horses and go out of the city to fight for me!"

Hou Mao was stunned and said: "His Majesty Longen Xie... but is the Forbidden Army still willing to go out of the city to make formations?"

At this moment, Li Hao finally persuaded: "Your Majesty must not force the soldiers of the Forbidden Army. Be careful|change..."

... Meng Chang didn't do anything, he didn't know what to do. After he left the court, he saw a Tang Dynasty porcelain bottle on the cabinet. He picked it up and threw it to the ground with a terrifying face: "The jade and the stone are burned! Haha..."

Mrs. Huarui heard the sound and felt the front hall, and called: "Your Majesty calm down."

After a while, he thought about the possible treatment, his face was full of fear, his hands and feet trembled. "Yes, a hundred dead..." Meng Chang looked up at the room beam. Mrs. Huarui hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Your Majesty, sit down and meditate first, there will be a way."

Meng Chang burst into tears, shook his head vigorously and said, "I haven't had any hardships, and I can't stand the tossing. You go find me a white silk."

Mrs. Huarui gently persuaded, and said: "The great ancestors have established a country for decades, and the royal family has long been known by the people of the world. Even if your majesty has no country, as long as you endure this difficulty, you must still be a noble. , As long as you change your heart... Noble status, rich and beautiful days, there are not many people in the world for the ninth generation, your majesty think about it."

Meng Chang said: "I don't have the throne, what use is it for you?"

Mrs. Huarui hurriedly said: "It is a pity that the concubine is only acting for your majesty, not for her own sake. The concubine is a woman, and the concubine is only a vain. Without your majesty, nothing is left. What can be lost?"

"Then what to do?" Meng Chang said in a daze.

Mrs. Huarui immediately retreated left and right, and whispered: "The concubine has found a path for your majesty, maybe you can help your majesty a little.

The court concubine helped a woman named Jingniang a few years ago. She is now a close person to Guo Shao; as long as she is contacted, perhaps she will think of the favor of the year and is willing to return. Jing Niang was in the Zhou army camp, and it was difficult to contact her; but her concubine had already figured out the way, and that was to contact a woman named Wushan Baima.

Wushan Bai Sanniang is the ex-husband of Wang Zhaoyuan's son-in-law. The **** next to his concubine inquired that Wang Zhaoyuan also wanted to find a way through Bai Sanniang. Wang Zhaoyuan finally revealed his true shape. He is a jester; he can't do big things, but it's a good way to make a lot of friends. He must be able to find Bai Sanniang.

The concubine meant that your majesty ordered Wang Zhaoyuan to bring one of our people to find Bai Sanniang; then contact Jingniang through Bai Sanniang...because Bai Sanniang is just a fate of water, the court concubine asked her for a reward That's it; Jingniang has to be more reliable, and the concubine has seen her in person. "

Meng Chang was confused when he heard: "Where can you talk in front of Blacksmith Guo? She will help you and me?"

Mrs. Hua Rui said: "In my love, she is helping your Majesty; even the concubines are also helping your Majesty. We are all trying to find a way for you. All people in this palace can only rely on your Majesty, we do not help. Who do you help?"

There were tears in Mrs. Huarui's eyes, but a smile appeared: "Your Majesty still remember building a Crystal Palace on Mohechi for his concubines? No one has ever treated me so well..."

She murmured, "I'm so scared too... I might face things that are worse than death. People are so terrible... Several times I wanted to die a hundred. Anyway, I'm honorable and enjoy the good days. I will die at this time. If you keep the festival for your Majesty, maybe you can finally ask for a name. But, what does your majesty do to sacrifice his concubines?"

She seemed to be talking, never saying these words in front of Meng Chang, "It's all retribution. I must be a bad person in my previous life, so I was born as a singer. Your Majesty has made me very noble, but... all of this is The flowers in the moon water in the mirror are just a dream of Nanke, and they still have to be returned. Those who are fate will not end well. I will wither like a peony in Chengdu Mansion. I hope that I will use this broken body and defiled soul to atone for my sins. When I reincarnated, the world was peaceful..."

Meng Chang frowned, "What do you mean by this? I don't understand. Are you trying to persuade me to surrender?"

Mrs. Huarui recovered from her trance, bit her teeth, looked at him and said: "Your Majesty, is there any other way to go besides surrendering? Has your Majesty figured it out clearly, is it really going to die for the country?"

Mrs. Huarui's words were very harsh, Meng Chang was there, touched his neck, swallowed, as if thinking about what it's like to hang himself.

"There is still a way to survive. If your Majesty wants to fight for it, surrender!" Madam Huarui said simply. The word surrender was repeatedly emphasized and became extra clear.
