Seeing everyone looking at him quietly, he said again: "Junhou paused at that time, and then said, I don't regret it. If I had to do it again, I would still lead you to rescue Deyang. Then, He said to me again, Gongsun Shu, I hope you can keep in mind that the army should not belong to anyone. Even to say treasonous words, the army should not belong to the monarch. The army belongs to the people. That's why he made this This army is called the best army of the common people."
When Gongsun Shu said this, his face became firm again. He stood up, looked around, raised his head again, and said slowly but firmly: "I will not leave, I will stay here. I am not here for this. I just want to stay here regardless of whose army this army belongs to. I just think that if the king is still here, he will definitely agree with me."
Chang'an, Zhengxi General's Mansion.
"What? Zhou Xing's whereabouts are unknown?" Huangfu Yong, the king of Hejian, was furious when he heard the news. "Did Luo Shang deliberately prevaricate him?"
"Your Majesty," said a middle-aged man with a mustache in the pavilion, "this is unbearable! Even though your Majesty is kind-hearted and doesn't want to get to the bottom of it, how do outsiders view this?"
The person who spoke was called You Xun. After Li Han was transferred to Luoyi Military Academy, You Xun became the commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition, and gradually gained Huangfu Yong's trust.
"Then what should we do now?" Huangfu Yong asked with a frown.
"I have a plan." You Xun said confidently, "But I first ask the king to forgive me for my sins."
"You Changshi, tell me what your plan is. Even if something goes wrong, I won't blame you."
"All we need to do is make Yabo suffer a disastrous defeat and throw away Jiameng Pass and Jiange Pass."
"Bold!" Huangfu Yong's face changed drastically when he heard this: "How can you do this?"
"Why can't this be done?" You Xun saw that Huangfu Yong was frightened and angry without any fear, and continued calmly: "Your Majesty was originally the military governor of the three states of Yongliang and Qin. But when the refugees ravaged Liangzhou and Yizhou, your Majesty took over. When Luo Shang asked for help, he immediately sent Yabo and his army to assist. But look at it now, who in the world appreciates your honorable act, Your Majesty?"
"No one!" You Xun saw that Huangfu Yong was speechless, and continued to talk: "Look at the Xinye King again. He originally followed the King of Qi to kill thieves, but now? What about his subordinates? The Zhennan army was forced to stay in Shangluo by the King of Qi to cheer for the King of Qi and could not return to Jingzhou, but he was asked to return to Xiangyang with a thousand soldiers."
"Your Majesty, haven't you understood? In this world, those who seek for themselves are noble, and those who seek for the world suffer." You Xun became more and more passionate as he spoke, "As long as General Yabo is defeated, the two levels of Jiange and Jiameng will be lost." , the refugees are bound to move north to Hanzhong and east to Baxiba County, so the situation in Liangzhou and Yizhou will be extremely serious. Your Majesty, just imagine what decision His Highness the King of Qi will make under such circumstances."
"Let Jingzhou rescue Yizhou?" Huangfu Yong suddenly realized.
"That's right, we want Jingzhou to send troops and ask King Qi to send back the Zhennan army that was forced to stay in Shangluo back to Jingzhou!"
"On the 19th day of the first lunar month of the first year of Yong'an, Yabo's army was defeated at Jiameng Pass. Zhang Zheng, the governor of Zitong, died in the battle. The refugees occupied the second Jiameng Pass of Jiange. Most of Brazil County had fallen. On the 21st, another group of refugees came from Pi. On the upper reaches of the water, we crossed the Pi River in Wenshan County. On the 22nd, Guangrou fell. On the 24th, Du'an fell. On the 25th, Pixian County was besieged, and refugee rovers have appeared in the suburbs." In the palace, the important officials of the imperial court gathered together, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn. Zhongshu Ling Ge Taizheng loudly described the current severe situation in Yizhou, Liangzhou. "To make matters worse, Luo Shang sent someone to report yesterday, saying that Li Yi, the Nanyi captain, sent people to the station to ask for help. He said that the Ningzhou Yi people rebelled and besieged Wei County (the seat of the Nanyi Academy mansion in Ningzhou. At this time, There is a temporary lack of governor of Ningzhou, and the post of governor of Nanyi will be fulfilled)."
Qi Wang Huangfu couldn't help but frown even more when he heard Ge Tai's report. He has just turned thirty this year, but just two days ago, his wife discovered a few white hairs on his head. At the beginning of his tenure, he was very ambitious and used virtuous people to open up their voices. Suddenly, talented people gathered in the Prince of Qi's palace. Unexpectedly, the issue of Yizhou refugees, which was originally thought to be a small problem, has now caused unrest in three states.
"Captain," Huangfu looked at Wang Yan, who was sitting on the left hand side, and said, "How do you think we should deal with the current refugee situation?"
"Let's talk about Ningzhou first. Those barbarians are probably not rebelling because they are old. The last time Ningzhou failed to aid Yizhou, this time I am afraid that the barbarians were recruited to aid Yizhou again, and those barbarians were instigated to besiege Wei County. . From my point of view, Ningzhou is plagued by scabies. As long as Yizhou is stable, Ningzhou’s affairs are not a big concern." Everyone sitting here is a very smart person. As soon as Wang Yan spoke, everyone immediately understood. , I thought that this Duke was worthy of being an elder of the imperial court who was relied upon by people all over the world. Although we are thousands of miles apart, it is as if we are seeing each other in person.
Wang Yan saw everyone nodding and continued: "The refugees in Liangzhou and Yizhou were not a big problem at first. The banner they raised was also the story of Dou Rong and Liang Tong. This shows that they are rebellious and have both ends. The reason why they are like this now The cause of the big commotion was Zhao Min, the former governor of Yizhou. If Zhao Min hadn't caused chaos and destroyed the state army, the refugees would never have been able to cause a big mess. According to the old man's opinion, for the current plan, When elite troops are dispatched from Jingzhou to Yizhou to quell the chaos, and they declare that they will only kill the culprits and ignore the remaining ones, I think we can successfully solve the refugee problem."
"What the prince said makes sense." Guang Luxun Cui Zan said: "It's already February now. If this matter can be solved as soon as possible, we must solve it as soon as possible. Otherwise, if time goes by, don't delay the second season's sowing."
glutinous rice
Qi Wang Huangfu nodded awkwardly and said: "What Prince Cui Qing said is absolutely true. Autumn planting has been delayed in some places in Yizhou. This cannot delay the second season of planting. How much strength does Jingzhou still have now?"
"Now in Jingzhou," Wang Yan just started speaking before he could finish, but Ge Tai directly interrupted him and said: "The number of households in Jingzhou is nearly two million, the population is more than 10 million, and the number of registered monks alone is There are more than 70,000 people, not to mention I heard that there are tens of thousands of Yizhou refugees now living in Jingzhou. Wang Cheng, the governor of Jingzhou, provides both civil and military services. I think there is no problem for the governor Wang to solve a mere refugee."
Wang Yan didn't look at Ge Tai, but stared at Qi Wang Huangfu. Huangfu Yan avoided his gaze, tilted his head and pondered for a while, and finally said: "As Yi Ge Zhongshu said, the governor of Jingzhou was ordered to recruit troops to go to Yizhou to quell the rebellion. All Yizhou refugees living in Jingzhou are not allowed to live in Jingzhou anymore. When staying in Jingzhou, all of them will gather in their respective counties to accept the transfer of Jingzhou governor..."
"Third brother, that Getai has caused more trouble to Shen Xiu." In Taiwei's mansion, Wang Yan complained to Wang Rong with an angry face: "Yizhou was too hasty and forced the refugees from six counties to rebel. If Getai is like this, it is bound to happen." We will also force the Yizhou refugees who rebel in Jingzhou. If Jingzhou is in chaos again, how will the situation in the world be managed?"
"They don't want to send the Zhennan Army back to Jingzhou." Wang Rong said calmly, "The Eastern Army and the Southern Army are now in Shangluo, the Northern Army is in Yecheng, and the Western Army is in Chang'an. They are all watching with eager eyes. Originally, the four armies were using We came to guard the four sides, but we didn’t want to end up being hostile to each other now, but we ignored the dangers in various places. This is a troubled time in the Jin Dynasty."
"Alas," Wang Yan sighed after hearing Wang Rong's words: "It's worse now than when Empress Jia was. Although Empress Jia was domineering, she still let you, me, and Zhang Hua decide the affairs of the court. And if At present, everything in the court is decided by villains like Shen Xiugetai. Look how they think about the problem? They all consider their own interests and completely ignore the overall situation of the court. But King Zhao and King Qi just appointed these people .”
"Because they feel that people like Shen Xiugetai consider them wholeheartedly, but we don't have them in our hearts." Wang Rong said.
"Third brother, what do you think of Wang Cheng's campaign against refugees this time?"
"Although Wang Cheng has never led an army before and has never liked swordsmanship, Ninth Brother, please don't forget that he simulated several battles with Wang Dun when he was a child, and Wang Dun never defeated him once. That's it. Wang Wuzi, the one in our family who died young and was the most valued by you and me, also had high praise for Wang Cheng back then. I am not too worried about this expedition. The only thing I am worried about is that after the Jingzhou army goes out for the expedition, if there are refugees in Jingzhou who also cause chaos. , then wouldn’t Jingzhou become the second Yizhou? If Yizhou is in chaos, we can still send troops from Jingzhou. If Jingzhou is in chaos, where can we send troops from?”
But he said that Zhou Xing saw Xin Wan jumping into the river that day, and he quickly used all his strength to run over. According to his own estimation, his "Dragon Transformation Technique" at this time has reached at least the sixth level, and his physical strength is almost unmatched by anyone in the world. In the horrified eyes of Xin Hui and other members of the Xin family, they saw that Zhou Xing, who had fully activated his "Dragon Transformation Technique", had turned into afterimages, so fast that he couldn't even see his human form.
The Baidi City is several hundred meters above the entrance of Qutang Gorge. Although it has not yet entered Qutang Gorge, the river water is already very fast. Zhou Xing jumped onto a tall ship moored on the shore, stopped and looked around, and saw Xin Wan's figure rising and falling in the river, and had already rushed dozens of meters away with the river current. Even with Zhou Xing's current level of cultivation, he could jump with all his strength and reach a distance of only twenty meters. Even if Xin Wan didn't move, Zhou Xing wouldn't be able to jump there, not to mention that the river was so fast.
He hurriedly jumped out of the boat and galloped along the shore in the direction of Xin Wan. Every step he took was a distance of more than ten meters. He had to catch Xin Wan before she drifted into the Qutang Gorge. return. He didn't know how fast the river in Qutang Gorge was, but based on his experience in that online game world, he knew that the speed of the river there was definitely several times faster than here.
It's too late, but it's soon. He quickly caught up with Xin Wan's drifting position, and without thinking, he jumped into the river with all his strength. Before he jumped in, he had already calculated the direction in advance, and the position he jumped in was further forward than Xin Wan. At this time, the man was in the river. Using his hands and feet, he could swim even faster than an ordinary person running on dry land. You must know that dragons can be big, small, fly and swim. At this moment, he used all his spiritual power to activate the "Dragon Transformation Technique". His body was already covered with countless layers of runes. As soon as these runes came into contact with water, the surface of Zhou Xing's skin immediately became extremely smooth, allowing him to swim. Extraordinarily smooth.
He swam hard to the side of Xin Wan who was drifting down, grabbed Xin Wan's clothes, and pulled Xin Wan down to him. At this time, Xin Wan was filled with several large mouthfuls of river water and was hit by the raging river water. She was already confused. Her survival instinct made her immediately and subconsciously hug Zhou Xing tightly. This time, one of Zhou Xing's arms was hugged tightly. Zhou Xing took advantage of the situation and tucked her under his arm, turned around and tried to swim back. Suddenly, I felt that the river suddenly accelerated, and I felt as if I was weightless, being hit by the river that suddenly became much faster.
"Oops!" Zhou Xing's heart sank, and he quickly held his breath, just as a wave hit him, and he and Xin Wan were instantly pushed under the water. Not long after, the two of them emerged from the water and were hit by another wave.
With Zhou Xing's current level of cultivation, he could hold his breath for a whole day without any problem, but when he thought of Xin Wan under his arm, he knew that the other person definitely did not have such an incredible level of cultivation as he did. There was no hesitation at the moment, and he immediately kissed Xin Wan's mouth tightly with his big mouth, slowly but uninterruptedly delivering the spiritual energy that was enough to keep the other party alive.
Suddenly, the peripheral vision of his eyes scanned several huge black figures not far away from the water, which were rocks in the river. Zhou Xing felt bad and tried his best to avoid these huge rocks, but the river current was too fast. In one or two breaths, the rocks were within one meter. Zhou Xing subconsciously turned around and held Xin Wan in his arms. Before he could make a second move, she hit the rock hard.
Even if Zhou Xing is currently practicing physical training, even if he is only 60% of the "Dragon Transformation Technique", the water in the Qutang Gorge is so fast that a boat plank several feet thick crashed into this so-called The rocks on the "Ghost Sees Sorrow" will be smashed to pieces in an instant.
The power of heaven and earth is far greater than human power.
There was a crisp "click" sound, and Zhou Xing's right arm was instantly broken when he hit the rock sideways. He only grinned in pain. But before he could react, his back was carried heavily by the river and hit the second rock. Zhou Xing suddenly felt a crunch behind his waist, and his legs seemed to have lost all feeling.
But his suffering was not over yet. Just when his heart seemed to be sitting on an elevator falling out of control and falling rapidly without knowing when it would hit the ground, the ruthless river water took him heavily and hit an unknown rock again. This time The area of impact was the head. The other person was immediately like a piece of wood. After a heavy impact, it bounced away, and then the two people hugging each other subconsciously seemed to have lost consciousness and drifted downstream with the ups and downs of the river.
He didn't know that the place he just encountered was a place called "Ghost Seeing Sorrow" by the boatman. It was the most dangerous place on the river. Since ancient times, countless ships have been smashed to pieces in that place. How many people died there. Without the local old boatman to lead the way, no one would dare to pass there.
