Chapter 457 The passion of life and death
It is said that Chen Long thought about it all night and fell asleep early in the morning. When he woke up, he suddenly found someone lying next to him like a kitten. With a casual movement, Zhang Ning woke up immediately.
Chen Long hugged Ning Ning and told his beloved wife the results of last night's random thoughts, only omitting the part about dreaming about Diao Chan's betrayal. Zhang Ning's face gradually became serious. After hearing this, he took a deep breath and said, "I didn't expect the situation in Chang'an to be so complicated. Although I have my own opinions, I always feel that it is not strict enough." Chen Long knew that Zhang Ning was resourceful, and she now said It's not rigorous enough, it just feels like the situation is complicated and there's no certainty of victory.
Zhang Ning frowned and suddenly said: "Husband, there is a resourceful boy Zhuge Liang here, why don't you ask."
The words woke up the man in his dream. Chen Long was thinking about Zhou Buyi. He patted his head and said, "It's true! I'll go see if this kid is up."
Zhang Ning grabbed him and said, "Wash your face and shave first, so you can look better. Besides, I also need to freshen up."
Chen Long laughed, his mood improved, he held Zhang Ning's jade-like chin and held a bucket, feeling the boundless pride of not being afraid of anything and everything in his heart. Life and death are more important to me than the experience of the Three Kingdoms. The more strange the waves and clouds are, the more colorful the life I have traveled through.
Chen Long met Zhuge Liang in the study with a passion for life and death. Zhuge Liang was dressed in a plain robe, which became more and more immortal as it got longer. With his handsome and upright face, intelligent eyes, and the three-locked beard he had just grown, and his graceful and calm demeanor as a general, he looked more and more like a top strategist.
After Zhuge Liang saluted, he stood aside and was not in a hurry to ask his lord the purpose of recruiting him. Chen Long was not in a hurry to ask questions directly and said with a smile: "Kong Ming, how is Chang'an?"
Chen Long deliberately asked vague questions to see how Zhuge Liang would respond. He saw Kong Ming frown and say: "Chang'an is also a strong city. In the middle of the pass, there are Hangu Pass and thousands of miles of fertile fields in Longshu. In the south, there are the rich people of Bashu, and in the north there are Hu people's livestock." With the convenience, we can defend on three sides and contain the princes to the east. As long as we hold the Yellow River, control the Wei River, and connect Luoyang, when there is a change in the east, we can go down the river. As the saying goes, the golden city thousands of miles away is the land of abundance."
Upon hearing this, Chen Long knew that Zhuge Liang had done some homework in Chang'an, so he remained silent and continued to listen to what he said. Zhuge Liang continued: "In the fifth year of Emperor Gaozu's reign, he established Chang'an County and established his capital here. He began to rebuild the palace on the south bank of the Wei River, north of Afang Palace, and on the basis of Qin Xingle Palace, and named it Changle Palace. In the seventh year of Emperor Gaozu's reign, Weiyang Palace was built. In the same year, the capital was moved here from Yueyang City. Because it was located in Chang'an Township, it was named Chang'an City. The city wall was built in the first to fifth years of Emperor Xianhui's reign. Emperor Xianwu established Jingzhao Yin to govern Chang'an and carried out large-scale expansion of Chang'an City. Beigong, Guigong and Mingguang Palace were built, Shanglin Garden was expanded in the west of the city, Kunming Pool was excavated, and Jianzhang Palace was built.
Since Emperor Xianwu's envoy Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions and opened trade routes, Chang'an City became a bridge connecting the Western Regions and the starting point of the "Silk Road" and prospered for a while. In its heyday, it became the first large-scale city with many residents in the Central Plains. During the poor pseudo-emperor Mang's reign, the city of Chang'an was once destroyed by war. After Emperor Xian Guangwu founded the country, Chang'an was renamed Xijing. Although it suffered from the rebellions of Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and Guo Si, it is still prosperous to this day. "
"As the saying goes, it is close to the solidity of Tongguan in the east and the danger of Sanguan in the west. It passes through Shangluo and even Jingchu, crosses Hanzhong and reaches Shushan. The spiritual roots of the four seas, the city opens the long silk road; the capital of the Three Qin Dynasty, the road to the emperor's Zhu Xuan. The wind cuts the spring of Baqiao, and the soft strips make the blue; the treasure adds the charm of the imperial capital, and the beautiful jade produces smoke. It is happy to bathe in the Zhou wind, so it is called the great city in the northwest. (The above is excerpted from Han Bangting's "Chang'an Fu")"
Chen Long knew this period of history very well. Although he was glad that Zhuge Liang had the information, he said calmly on the surface: "Kong Ming, I know everything you said. Chang'an is now crouching tiger, hidden dragon, how should our Qinglong Army deal with it?"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "My lord, you are like a god in your military use. Each of the four kings has a throat. Just wait for the good news from General Huang Gongfu and General Fu Tong."
Chen Long smiled and said: "People say Zhuge is cautious, why are you so optimistic today? Yesterday Lu Chang and I fought against Shi A in person. This man is indeed very powerful in martial arts. I don't know who else is in the darkness. Shi A is assisted by Cao Mengde, Cao Pi and Cao Zihuan My mentor, what does his appearance mean?"
Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, then smiled and said: "Don't worry, my lord, I have a plan to stop him from doing anything." Chen Long said happily: "Speak quickly!"
Zhuge Liang said: "My lord originally planned to personally lead the team, go deep into Weiyang, hijack Han Xian, control the palace, abolish the imperial power, and retain the title. The Liu family's sons and relatives and eunuchs were all placed in side palaces and were not taught to participate in the government. This is a disaster. The emperor gives orders to the princes."
"But my subordinates secretly believe that the lord does not know the depth of Weiyang Palace and blindly goes deep into the palace. Although this plan can be successful, it is too risky and puts the lord himself in an unknown environment. What's more, we don't know what kind of trap is set in the palace. , People like Shi A will never do nothing in Chang'an."
"Since the enemy has expected that we will kidnap the emperor, I am afraid that the arrangement will be perfect. Since the lord knows, he must not go into danger alone."
Chen Long frowned and said: "If you don't control the emperor, how can you hold the emperor in order to command the princes?"
Zhuge Liang laughed loudly and said: "With your lord's wisdom, how could you not have thought of this! Although the Weiyang Palace is magnificent and magnificent and represents the supreme authority of the imperial power, to Chang'an, the Weiyang Palace is nothing more than a side palace!"
Just those words awakened the dreamer, and Chen Long was enlightened. He realized that he had always been proud of his own martial arts, and subconsciously he had been killing everyone. He thought that he could easily capture Weiyang Palace, but he never expected to meet a master like Shi A. Only then did he hesitate. It turns out that I don’t have to go into danger alone.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but stretch out my palms and press my temples on both sides. I looked up to the sky and laughed and said, "Kong Ming! Keep talking."
Zhuge Liang stood up and said: "The powerful troops of the Four King Kongs have isolated Chang'an. General Gongfu has taken down the east and west gates. General Fu Tong has cleared away the remnants in the city to prevent Wang Yun's counterattack. General Xu Shu can lead 15,000 people and iron barrels." Surround the Weiyang Palace as usual. As long as the siege is not fought, no one can enter or exit, and the decree is not allowed to go out. This guarantees that Shi'a will have no choice but to take risks until the end of time. The lord can directly declare to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty that the imperial power will be abolished, and only the honorary title will be enjoyed, and the royal family will not be allowed to do so without authorization. Taking a step out of the Weiyang Palace, all officials were re-empowered by the Political Consultative Conference. Externally, in the form of an edict issued by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, the lord was appointed as the general, the chief assistant scholar of Chang'an, and the first speaker of the CPPCC, gathering military, political, and If the powers of Jing, Wen, and Wei are combined into one, great things can be accomplished!"
Chen Long was overjoyed. The most important meaning of Zhuge Liang's proposal to him was that there was no danger and he could directly surround Weiyang Palace. No matter how the Weiyang Palace was arranged, as long as he did not break into it, no matter how elaborate the trap was, it would become a trap for the enemy. Yellow beam. The most wonderful thing is that the saying that Weiyang Palace is a side palace is shocking. Weiyang Palace is a golden cage, enough to trap the canary of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty. No matter how much the warlords across the country criticized him, he had the edict of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in hand, and given time, he could still achieve the effect of coercing the emperor to order the princes. When the time comes, let’s see how those outsiders turn to themselves as the nominal spokesperson of the emperor?
Thinking of this, Chen Long stood up, laughed loudly, and high-fived: "Kong Ming! I really want to see now, after months of siege of Weiyang Palace, which famous generals in the world will be unable to bear their temper and want to kill them?"
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
