Chapter 21 Entering Jinling Alone
Sun Guan tied his hands into Jinling?
Xu You suddenly heard a wave of thunder in his mind, as if he had caught a faint and invisible light from the dark clouds in the sky, little by little, a little, tempting him to explore the secret behind the dark clouds.
Since the Tao of Tianshi rebelled, why did Sun Guan take the risk to enter Jinling City? Even if he is a great master, he will never have the possibility of survival in the face of supreme imperial power.
Unless a fool, he will fly into a fire and destroy himself, but is Sun Guan a fool?
This question does not require an answer, so there is only one explanation. Sun Guan is confident enough to make An Zidao believe that the Yangzhou military chaos has nothing to do with Tianshidao.
"He was not sure, but now that things have come to this, he has no second choice!"
Ning Xuangu's eyes were clear. When he talked about Sun Guan, he was a little impressed or lost, and said, "My senior brother is really a top figure who has never been born in the world for a hundred years. In his hands, he may not even have the master to achieve this kind of growth today. If he studied Taoism carefully and did not care about the world, he would definitely become a great master of the Tianshidao generation. However, he was very impressed with the glory and wealth of the world, and was too deeply connected with the forces in the court, and it was difficult to extricate himself. This time, Yangzhou chaos broke out, Du Mingyu respected Sun Guan as a great sage teacher, and turned Yangzhou upside down, causing all directions to shake!"
"Is it possible for the Heavenly Master to rebel? Of course it is possible! The prince loses power, and the master's holy heart is unpredictable. Sun Guan and the prince are in the same spirit and are both in trouble. Will they be deceived by the prince to do great debauchery? Maybe, maybe not. When everyone is suspicious, Mingyu really rebelled!"
"But what's strange is that if Tianshidao rebels and the twenty-four governors in Jiangdong, why is it the only governor of Yangzhou? Even if the coordination between Yangzhou governors is not smooth and they are taking the initiative, it has been more than a month since then, why is there no movement in other governors in Yizhou alone? If Sun Guan wants to rebel, he just needs to climb high and call, and the entire Yizhou will no longer be owned by Chu in three days. Yang, Yi is in chaos, Chu will not be Chu, and then the east and west lines will advance together and join the city of Jinling. Isn't the chance of victory greater?"
Xu You nodded and said, "This is the reason. Sun Guanzhi is as deep as the sea. If you really want to rebel, it will definitely not be like this. Just the turbulent state of Yangzhou cannot pose a threat to the foundation of Chu. It will take a long time to go, and it will be just a bandit in the end!"
"So, the court was waiting for Hemingshan's reaction, so they only sent 20,000 prefectures and state soldiers from the Yangzhou Governor's Office to quell the rebellion. The 100,000 majestic soldiers from Jingyong Prefectures were displayed on the border to prevent the Wei State from taking advantage of the situation, and dispatched naval troops from Yuanjiang to Wuxi, closely following the trends in Yizhou."
An Zidao was not the Emperor Taiping. He has made many northern expeditions since he ascended the throne. Although he is not good at fighting, he can be said to be well-versed in military affairs and keenly grasped the essence of the problem. Although Du Mingyu's rebellion against Yangzhou is extremely harmful, the real thing to be guarded against was Sun Guan of Yizhou. Therefore, Qiu Yuan was used to delay the battle situation in Yangzhou, and the real main force formed an encirclement of Yizhou.
However, since ancient times, Yizhou is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If you really want to fight, the court cannot win in a small way. If you surround yourself without fighting, you don’t want to force it too much, so that Sun Guan will take the risk!
Xu You suddenly asked, "Where is the prince?"
"Crown Prince..." Ning Xuangu said with a wry smile: "The prince was confined to the Eastern Palace and could not meet his subordinates without the imperial edict."
Xu You was silent for a while and sighed: "The Lord still missed the wrong son. During the national crisis, the prince was imprisoned. Isn't it obvious that the father and son in the Chu royal family were suspicious of the king and his ministers? Even if some people had no different intentions, they would be forced to rebel!"
"The Lord cannot listen to the advice..."
After all, it was involved in An Zidao, and Ning Xuangu was inconvenient to say more, but Xu You understood that most of the knowledgeable people in the court could naturally see the pros and cons. However, the emperor and the prince were too suspicious, and even they could not persuade him.
Whether to save the prince or to save Tianshidao, Sun Guan had no choice but to apologize to Jinling himself. Only in this way can the Lord let go and make the court and the people feel at ease.
Xu You said sincerely: "Sun Guan is worthy of the name of the Heavenly Master. The chaos is chaotic and the outcome is unknown. He resolutely entered Jinling alone and blocked the Youyou mouth that tried to take the opportunity to kill the Heavenly Master. This move will be put to death and will never be able to survive without great wisdom and courage!"
"As soon as Sun Guan entered Jinling, many people breathed a sigh of relief, at least it means that Tian Shidao had no intention of rebelling, or Sun Guan judged the situation and made a decision that was beneficial to everyone. The Lord placed him in the Shanyang Palace and comforted him. He probably wanted to use his reputation to calm the military chaos in Yangzhou!"
Xu You had talked so much with Ning Xuangu as soon as he woke up. Before he could ask about Qiantang's battle situation, perhaps deep down he didn't want to know.
After all, the city was covered with bloody plum blossoms!
"It's noon, I'm a little hungry. I'm going to prepare lunch, invite Qiyi and the others to come. I want to toast three glasses of wine in the real person... Oh, by the way, can I drink bar?"
Ning Xuangu smiled and said, "There is no taboo!"
After leaving the room door and feeling the long-lost sunshine bathing on his body, Xu You narrowed his eyes, and a small figure ran over from the yard gate and rushed into his arms.
"My little girl...you, you are awake, the ugly slave miss you so much..."
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Xu You coughed a few times, hugged Hexi Chounu, shaved her nose with his fingers, and said, "You are naughty, Xiao Lang is not here these days, are you good?"
"The ugly slave is very good and well-behaved. Sister Lushuang said that as long as the ugly slave is good, Xiaolang will definitely wake up. Sister did not lie to me!"
Xu You smiled and said, "Your Chinese is a long way to go. I haven't seen you for a few days. You finally called Lu Shuang's name right!"
The word Lu Shuang is a bit difficult to pronounce. The ugly slave always called Nu Shuang before. When Xu You mentioned the embarrassing things before, he felt a little embarrassed. His little head was buried tightly in his arms, and he didn't say anything no matter how he teased him.
This is the Fuquberia in Wu County, which belongs to Gu Yun. It is not as big as Jingyuan, but it is better than exquisite. The small three-entry entrance to accommodate dozens of people including Xu You are still a little nervous, but living here is mainly for safety reasons, which facilitates defense and patrol.
The lunch was ready, and within a moment, it was delivered like flowing water. Xu You asked Ning Xuangu to sit in the main seat and stay by his side. Then he was He Ru, Zuo Qi, An Yao, Shanzong, Lushuang, Winter Sora and others, who survived the disaster and looked at each other and felt quite close.
"The first glass of wine, to God, this time when Qiantang encounters trouble, I am not too biased that guy Mingyu!"
Everyone laughed, Xu You stood up, sprinkled the wine in the glass on the ground, stood behind the autumnal equinox, and filled it again. He raised it to his chest and said, "The second cup of wine, toast you, save me from the enemy camp without considering life and death! Do it first!"
Everyone stood together, raised their heads and drank the wine. Xu You picked up the glass again and said to Ning Xuangu: "This glass of wine is toast to Ning Zhenren! The real person saved You several times in times of danger. This kindness and love, and You will never repay you..."
Ning Xuangu smiled and picked up the wine glass and drank with Xu You. He was easy-going and friendly, and the ordinary ones were no different from the old farmers in the fields.
After three glasses of wine finished, Xu You sat down and stared at the crystal clear jade cup. This should be a treasure collected by Gu Yun. After pouring it into the wine, it was bright and bright, as if there was fog floating, which was spectacular.
"What's wrong with Qiantang... over there?"
Xu You finally asked this question. Everyone knew his mood and looked at each other and dared not say much. It was the Winter Solstice that must have the courage to tell Xu You about what happened after he was unconscious.
It turned out that after Xu You vomited blood and left, Qiu Yuan led his troops to attack the city for three more days. On the last day, both sides were red in their eyes. The north gate opened and almost broke through the city. So he took a desperate bet and sent all the reserve teams in his hand. Seeing that victory was in sight, countless Tianshi troops suddenly came out from behind. The soldiers of the prefectures were immediately disorganized and were completely defeated after a little resistance.
More than 10,000 people died before and after the battle. Qiu Yuan retreated back to Xiling County in a panic, with only more than 2,000 remaining soldiers under his command, which was wiped out!
Afterwards, it was found that the Tianshi Army, which was like a divine weapon, actually had only more than 500 people. Before the soldiers of the Fuzhou Province arrived, they secretly left the city and ambushed in the cave group in Xiaoqu Mountain, waiting for the opportunity, and finally gave Qiu Yuan a fatal blow at the most appropriate time.
"Xiaoqushan..."
A wry smile appeared on the corner of Xu You's lips. He finally understood why Liu Yu tried his best to get Xiaoqu Mountain. It turned out that he was trying to use the unique terrain of Xiaoqu Mountain to hide his soldiers. He was pitiful that he was arrogant, but he never could see through this layer. Now he could only realize it later. He sat there withered, what could he do?
He Ru's face was not very good. As the leader, he had so many clues in advance, but he was still in absolute passive. Even his master almost died from the opponent. This was a great shame.
"I was very surprised in my heart when the Qiantang fell. How could the more than a thousand soldiers of the Tianshi Army attack quietly? Why didn't they notice so many counties along the way? It was not until the hidden soldiers of Xiaoqu Mountain swarmed out, running and sand tied branches behind the ponytail to create the illusion of numerous soldiers and horses, and completely defeating the soldiers of the Prefecture and Prefecture. I truly understood that Liu Yu did not hesitate to buy Lu Hui with the priceless ancient jade, and tried many times to force us to give up the Sajinfang, not to occupy the upper reaches of the Biyou River, nor because the land of Sajinfang was strange, but because Sajinfang occupied the northern entrance of Xiaoqu Mountain, and it was difficult to avoid people's eyes and ears when transporting troops at night. So Liu Yu tried all his skills and even wanted to buy Sajinfang for 20 million yuan. Later, he saw that we did not enter the oil and salt and really couldn't succeed, so he moved troops from the southern foot of Xiaoqu Mountain..."
When Xu You heard He Ru say this, he immediately understood what he meant and sighed: "The Yin soldiers crossed the border!"
"It's the Yin soldiers who cross the border!"
He Ru's eyes were filled with a bit of teased anger and said, "Tianshidao is best at these deceptive tricks. Liu Yu used the technique of transiting the ghost soldiers to scare everyone in Jiuqiao Village, the southern foot of Xiaoqu Mountain. He rested early at night. Even if he heard any movement, he would not dare to go out to spy. Who would have thought that it was the Tianshi army who was secretly transporting troops and horses?"
The Winter Solstice was ashamed and almost found a crack in the ground. Her pretty face turned red to her ears. She knelt on the ground with her feet and said, "Xiao Lang once told me to send someone to watch the transit of the ghost soldiers, but I was careless and broke the errand, resulting in all kinds of dangers in the future. My maid deserves to die. Please punish me heavily!"
Xu You helped her up with his own hands and said, "This is not your fault! Du Sansheng has investigated this matter, but he has not found any clues. Moreover, with Liu Yu's means and the assistance of the Fengmen, it is not something you can deal with easily. We are careless. This matter is not a crime for one person, so naturally there is no punishment!"
The fingertips of the Winter Solstice fell into the palm of her palm. The faint pain made her remind herself from time to time: Others may be able to make up for mistakes, but she is in charge of the intelligence agency. Once it makes a mistake, it will be a disaster! For Xiaolang's trust and kindness, from now on, no matter how hard or tired she is, similar things will never be allowed to happen!
"Yes, Qilang is right. This is not your mistake, but my mistake!" He Ru has returned to his calmness. In his legendary life, he has made many mistakes. This is nothing. No one can always make perfect plans. The past is gone. The most important thing is to summarize the experience and lessons from the mistakes and ensure that they do not fall twice in the same place. In the long run, the chance of making mistakes will become smaller and smaller, so their actions will gradually become perfect.
Just tend to, not reach!
"When Liu Yu got Xiao Qushan, we thought he was to take revenge on Sajinfang; if he wanted to get Sajinfang, we thought he was holding old resentment and wanted to take revenge on Yan Shujian; when it was a drought, we hoarded food and grass, and we thought he wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune; we even discovered that Liu Yu and Du Mingyu secretly communicated with Fuqu, but we still didn't expect that the Tianshi Army was about to rebel... So many clues and so many flaws, we were blind and turned a blind eye. After thinking about it, there was only one explanation: we underestimated Liu Yu and never regarded him as a real opponent!"
He Ru picked up the wine pot, let the wine flow along the spout, her clothes wet, and she sat with her chest open, saying, "The opponent I looked down on almost killed us! Qilang, we were so happy some time ago, so we were too complacent!"
Like He Ru, Xu You is good at discovering problems from failure, but he is not entangled in failure itself. Things in the world are like chess, and there is nothing to say if you don’t have a trick of chess. At least I remind them that they must never underestimate anyone in the future!
Pride always pays the price!
"Du Mingyu's uprising was planned secretly. The grass snake and gray lines were all ambushers, and the manpower and material resources used were even more than imagined. Meng Xingchun was the supernatural powers of the Crouching Tiger Division, and Qiu Zhechong was defeated by the generals' troops, but wasn't they defeated the enemy one after another? I don't think we have to belittle ourselves. There are only dozens of people in Jingyuan, and we have done everything we should do and we shouldn't do. We will work hard to succeed. Although we are happy and defeated, we don't need to be sad!"
He Ru and Dongzhi made reviews one after another, which made the atmosphere in the lobby very heavy. Xu You's words made a big difference, and they immediately mobilized everyone's emotions. Then he stopped talking about serious matters, clinked glasses with each other, and drank happily. After so long, he was completely relaxed today.
Chapter completed!
