Chapter 3 Revisiting the Hometown

At the foot of Zhoushan, the Leyouyuan, Chenjun camp, the commander Xiao Mohe was inspecting defense. The Zhou army's invasion had arrived in Jiangshan. He was ordered to lead troops here to station him in order to pave the Jiankang vassal screen.

There is Xuanwu Lake in the north of Jiankang City. Fuzhou Mountain is located on the south bank of Xuanwu Lake. It was renamed Xuanwu Mountain in the Liu Song Dynasty. By the time of Emperor Xuan of Chen, it was renamed Longzhou Mountain, but people are still used to calling it Fuzhou Mountain.

The Leyou Garden at the foot of Zhoushan was originally a medicine garden in the Jin Dynasty, but later changed to a garden to help the high-ranking officials and nobles to cool off the heat and cool down and play. The reason why it was named "Leyou Garden" was to commemorate the Leyou Garden outside Chang'an City.

During the Yongjia Rebellion, the southward traveled southward, the Jin army made several northern expeditions, but they temporarily recovered Chang'an and were lost soon. From then on, Chang'an Leyouyuan only exists in the memories of those who cross the southward, and the Leyouyuan in the north of Jiankang City has become a place to express their longing.

The south of Leyouyuan is Taicheng, with Qingxi in the east, which leads the water of Xuanwu Lake injected into it and flows southward into the Qinhuai River. Both sides of Qingxi are gathering areas for high-ranking officials and nobles. The northeast of Leyouyuan is a lied outside the Jiankang, with a north fence gate. The official road outside the door can directly reach Jingkou.

Since the Jin Dynasty moved the capital to Jiankang, Zhoushan became the northern barrier of Jiankang City. The gains and losses were related to the safety of Taicheng. Xiao Moke led the army to station here, and the responsibility was heavy, so he did not dare to take it lightly.

Yesterday, when he entered the palace to meet the king, Xiao Moha not only spoke good things for Fuchuan Hou Fan Meng, but also showed many strategies to retreat to the enemy. Although the emperor did not comment, he finally had confidence and made a decision on the spot, opening the treasury to reward the soldiers of the official army.

This is how it is. When the enemy is in front of the enemy, it is when the entire army is willing to reward the army. Only then are everyone willing to fight to kill the enemy. Now, the emperor has finally done something right.

Xiao Mohe looked at Jiangshan in the northeast, which was occupied by the Zhou army at this time. Although he could not see the dynamics of Zhou camp in Leyouyuan, Xiao Mohe still felt the pressure. Originally, the situation should not have deteriorated to this point.

At the end of last year, the Zhou army launched a large-scale southern invasion, captured Huainan Prefecture and County and confronted Jiankang.

The upper reaches of Ba, Hunan, and Jiangzhou have been invaded by the Zhou army, and Jiangzhou has even fallen into the entire territory within a month. This is the worst situation since Yongjia crossed the south. As a result, the emperor was blindly optimistic and did not take effective measures to change and reverse the situation.

Although the number of troops was increased to Caishi and Jingkou, the number was not large, and most of the officers and soldiers were still concentrated in Jiankang. Xiao Mohe and the generals made statements many times, and strongly advocated active defense, but the following was gone.

If they could have made careful arrangements according to their proposals at that time, how could the Zhou army enter the city of Jiankang so easily?

Xiao Mohe was angry when he thought of this. He fought a war with a group of veterans for decades. Most of them participated in the war to quell the Hou Jing Rebellion. He had never had such a cowardly viewing on the wall, watching the enemy calmly surround him but remained indifferent.

It’s not that there are no soldiers on hand, that’s not that there is enough food and grass, that’s not that I can’t ride a horse or hold a horse spear!

What's the problem? It's the treacherous!

Shi Wenqing, Shen Keqing, Kong Fan and other slandered ministers were all villains. For their own selfishness, they ignored the safety of the country and reported good news every day without worries. They made the emperor think that waiting for the rainy season to come could force the Zhou army to retreat. As a result, they sat still again and again, causing the official army to lose opportunities for the fight, allowing the Zhou army to easily arrive at the city of Jiankang.

He was also arrogant and said that the fate of the Qi army more than 30 years ago was the lesson of the Zhou army today.

Fart! If the soldiers of the army had not taken the risk of attacking and bravely fighting the enemy, the Qi army would have taken Jiankang before the rainy season arrived!

Xiao Mohe looked at Jiang Shan again, and his thoughts returned to more than 30 years old that year, when he was not yet thirty years old, and Chen Baxian, the founding emperor of Chen State, was also the auxiliary minister of Liang State.

When the Qi army attacked, the Liang army was at a disadvantage, but after Chen Baxian's plan, the Liang army took the initiative to attack, and the Qi army was in chaos, and the rainy season confrontation was set in, and the Liang army seized its retreat, led the entire army to collapse, and finally killed countless people, killing almost the entire Qi army.

Those treacherous slandering all day long used the results to deceive the emperor, saying, "Jiankang has his own royal aura, don't worry." However, they deliberately ignored the experience of the Liang army soldiers fighting bloody battles. As witnesses, Xiao Mohe was speechless.

Don’t worry? Do you know how many people died back then?

Not to mention anything else, Xiao Mohe was under the command of the general Hou Andu, and Hou Andu led his troops to fight fiercely with the Qi army. Both sides were red in their eyes. The battle was so fierce that the mud and water turned into blood. The bodies of the dead soldiers on both sides were everywhere.

In the chaos, Hou Andu fell off his horse and was almost surrounded by Qi's army with a spear. It was Xiao Mohe who tried hard to kill the enemy and rescued the commander. At that time, the two were covered in blood and almost exhausted.

Therefore, when Jiankang City escaped, it was not because of the "king spirit", but because of the bloody battle between the soldiers and the proactive attack, dragging the war to the rainy season, rather than defending the city, watching the enemy siege, and dying until the rainy season arrives.

What Shi Wenqing and others were thinking, Xiao Mohe thought very clearly that such villains would do nothing but bad things.

It’s useless to say more about things. Now it’s April. So as long as you stick to it for a while, when the rainy season comes, the situation will improve. At that time, the various places will be muddy, and the Zhou army’s food and grass are not well transferred, and they cannot invade Jiankang. I think they will retreat in the face of difficulties... right?

Xiao Maha sighed. Thirty years have passed, and the Northern Barbarians have once again come to Jiankang City. Although he revisited the old place like he did back then and camped in Leyouyuan to fight against the enemy, it is not the same now as before.

The head coach of his side is still surnamed Chen, but this Chen is not the other Chen. No villain has interfered with it back then. He was united at the time. At that time, he was less than 30 years old, and he was in full spirit.

But Xiao Maha was not convinced of his old age. He still had strength. He had to continue to play on the battlefield to serve the country, both for himself and for his wife and children.

After walking around the military camp, Xiao Maha turned back to the tent and was about to handle military affairs, but an old servant was looking for a meeting outside. Seeing him hesitated, Xiao Maha asked everyone else to withdraw.

"What's going on? What happened in the mansion?"

"Mr., Mrs., Mrs., yesterday he was ordered to enter the palace...and he did not return overnight."

"What did you say!" Xiao Mohe's expression changed when she heard this, and she couldn't help but clench her fists tightly, her face turned pale, and her breathing became rapid. Seeing this, the old servant just looked down at the ground without saying a word.

My woman has an affair with others, but I am powerless. It is a shame, a man's great shame!

Xiao Mohe, who was over 60 years old, was so angry that she gasped, but she couldn't go to settle the score with her adulterer.

Because that adulterer is the emperor.

His original wife has passed away. The newly married wife is young and beautiful, which has brought him a lot of joy. She is also quite proud in front of the old friend. Whether it is to visit the old friend's mansion or invite the old friend to visit the mansion, the gorgeous new wife is a beautiful scenery.

The old husband and young wife, Xiao Mohe, who was a powerful man, was defeated by the new wife who was powerless and could not help but obey this beauty. Although he was inevitably called "fearing the inner world", he didn't care.

Isn’t it that after fighting on the battlefield for decades, Isn’t it just to make achievements and win a wife and a son? So Xiao Maha, who has a new goal, has made great contributions and can be rewarded for his beautiful wife and the son she gave birth to him.

Life was good, but since the wife stayed in the palace one night, something was wrong.

The next day, when the wife came back, she explained the reason, saying that she had a speculative conversation with Concubine Zhang, and that time had passed unknowingly. It was inconvenient to leave the palace, so she stayed in the palace. Xiao Maha did not take it to heart at that time, but on the contrary, she was a little happy.

The emperor's favorite concubine is Concubine Zhang. If his wife can have a good relationship with Concubine Zhang and with Concubine Zhang helping to say good things, he will not be afraid of slandering those villains.

But as his wife stayed in the palace more and more times, Xiao Mohe felt something was wrong: How could Concubine Zhang say so much, and he insisted that his wife spend the night in the palace?

The emperor likes women, and his wife is young and beautiful. Besides, Concubine Zhang’s residence is only a few dozen steps away from the emperor’s residence. I’m afraid...

Thinking of this, Xiao Maha's heart was bleeding. He had been insomnia for more than a dozen nights, but he could only remove his teeth and blood and swallow it.

But there is no evidence, but that person is the emperor, but he still has children. If a man is angry, the emperor will splatter his blood in five steps.

He could only pretend that he didn't know anything, but he also made a decision, so that his wife could not go to the palace to chat with Concubine Zhang for no reason. Even if he entered the palace by the order, he would not stay in the palace.

The emperor is shameless, but Xiao Moha is shameless. He cannot kill his adulterer and is reluctant to kill his beautiful wife, because this will make him embarrassed in front of his old friend and become a coward who is ridiculed by others.

Even if the wife had an affair with the emperor before, he would forgive the other party, so he never asked the wife what was going on.

He needs a warm home, an enviable home. He is already old and even deceives himself, he has to pretend because he can no longer stand the tossing.

At Xiao Maha's strong request, the wife finally calmed down and went into the palace again. This made him feel relieved, but he did not dare to take it lightly, because the wife may not be voluntary, so hidden dangers still exist.

Xiao Maha entered the palace yesterday to meet the king. The reason why he specifically mentioned that killing enemies is not only for the country, self-centered but also for his wife and children is to indirectly remind the emperor that his wife is very important and hopes that the emperor will not do that again.

As a result, you summoned her to the palace to stay overnight!

Just so impatient? I'm defending the enemy for you!!!

When Xiao Maha learned that his wife had entered the palace to "revisit the old place again", he wanted to cry without tears. Last night he was wearing armor here to patrol the night, trying to share the worries of the emperor. At the same time, the lady was happy under the emperor's crotch.

What kind of sin did I do? I will be able to be retribution!

Xiao Moha felt dizzy and his heart was like a knife. He stood there for a long time. Finally, he was weak and sat on Hu's bed, holding his head with both hands, and silent.

"The Lord, the Lord..."

The old servant cried with a sad face and wanted to comfort Xiao Maha, but he didn't know what to say.

"You go back first."

"The man...yes, the man takes care of him."

The old servant retreated outside the tent, and after a moment Xiao Mohe raised his head, tears flowed all over his body, his eyes were confused.
