Mr. Li stood up and slowly left the side hall. Liu Chan looked at the old man's retreating figure and sighed slowly, then turned to look at the silent Huang Hao next to him, and further said: "I overestimated. What's ahead?" The soldiers fought bloody battles, how could I suddenly become suspicious of the generals at the front?"
Huang Hao immediately nodded in agreement, and then helped Liu Chan back to the harem. He said nothing along the way, until Liu Chan suddenly stopped when he came to a brick wall. Huang Hao did not dare to get too close, and could only hear a faint sound. The sound of tears.
Finally, Huang Hao mustered up the courage and stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, what's going on?"
"Nothing, I miss General Zilong a little bit, I want to see him."
"Then will this slave prepare a bicycle frame for His Majesty?" Huang Hao asked.
"No, I'd better walk by myself and don't disturb anyone." With tears in his eyes, Liu Chan signaled Huang Hao to stop, "You go with me."
Huang Hao immediately said: "I obey."
The two of them were silent all the way, and Liu Chan also changed into casual clothes to avoid being noticed. Dressing lightly and simply, they finally arrived at the tomb of General Zilong. The place was extremely clean, except for the ringing of bells from the ancient temple next to it.
Liu Chan stood in front of the inscription for a long time and slowly said, "Uncle Zilong, I'm here to see you. How are you doing there?"
"Oh, I always think of Uncle Zilong these days. When I was young, you were the one who protected me. They often said that you led me seven times in and seven out among the millions of Cao soldiers when I was a child. Today's Han Emperor, but I know who is not afraid of death, Uncle Zilong, you risked your life for me, I have brought you the best Chengdu wine, you have to taste it."
After saying this, Liu Chan took a jar of wine from Huang Hao's hand and sprinkled it on the ground. Suddenly, a young eunuch came up to Huang Hao's ear and spoke for a while. Huang Hao's eyes suddenly widened and he was about to turn around and report to Liu Chan.
"No need, the envoy from Soochow has arrived, right?" Liu Chan didn't seem to look back, he just asked a question gently and then floated out.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, it is indeed Zhang Wen, the envoy of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, who has arrived in Chengdu." Huang Hao immediately turned around and said with cupped hands.
Liu Chan turned around, his eyes suddenly narrowed into a thin line, and then said to Huang Hao: "It is said to the envoys of Soochow that all foreign ministers who want to see the emperor must first go to the Ancestral Temple to offer incense and pay homage to the late emperor, and then pay homage to Uncle Yunchang." Only with Uncle Yide can you see me."
Huang Hao immediately said: "I obey the order."
"I'm a little tired. Let's go back to the palace first."
"yes!"
...
In Yongan City.
"Informing the Governor, Changsha Sun Shao led four thousand light cavalry to attack our military workshop outside Yiling City! We have now arrived fifteen miles outside Yiling City!"
"Explore again! Tell Zong Yu that the strong walls will clear the country. No matter what, save the workshop for me. If it is lost, let him apologize with his head!" Li Xian immediately ordered.
"yes!"
Since the waterway outside Yong'an City has been opened, it is now extremely convenient to send messages to Yiling, so military orders can reach the front line quickly.
Li Yan suddenly said: "Captain, now Soochow has taken the initiative to attack again, and our army has no idea where Lu Xun is, and where its main force has been transferred. This raid on Yiling is not like Lu Xun's. style."
Li Xian nodded, turned to Wang Rui, who had just recovered, and asked, "Ruier, what do you think?"
"Father, Soochow has lost 30,000 land troops this time. Lingtong's navy has been greatly disabled, but its navy is particularly elite. This so-called centipede will not freeze even if it dies. Our army should find a place to land and fight with it. , we will definitely win a great victory.”
"There is still some progress!" Li Xian nodded.
Wang Rui cupped his hands and said, "Thank you stepfather for the compliment!"
"Sun Shao's attack from land this time is to tell us that their army is still capable of fighting. It is just a bluff. Without the decisive soldiers, the Soochow Army is like a tiger without claws and has nothing to fear." Li Xianyan road.
Then he turned around and pointed to the map behind him and said: "Now Lu Xun has two roads. The first one is in Jiangling, guarding Jingzhou Nanjun and blocking the gate of Jingnan. At this time, if our army wants to capture Jingnan, we can go straight to Changsha and cut it off." Passage between Wuling and Guiyang, capture the four counties of Jingnan; secondly, if Lu Xun is in Changsha, our army can take Jiangling along the water route, attack the south county of Jingzhou, trap Pan Zhang's tribe in Maicheng and Linju, and let him Let’s try the disaster of food shortage again.”
Zhao Guang, who was under the tent, said: "According to the commander-in-chief's wishes, the most important thing now is to find out where Lu Xun is? Why should our army avoid Lu Xun?"
"The reason is very simple, I can't defeat him." Li Xian just said these words lightly and lightly, and in an instant, it was like thunder, and the tent exploded.
"Why do you think so little of yourself, Commander-in-Chief? You have already shocked Jiangdong by defeating Quan Cong and killing 30,000 Soochow soldiers. Why should you be afraid of that kid Lu Xun?" Gong Jie, who was under the tent, raised his hands and said.
"Mighty Jiangdong? It's not that big. But if I can't defeat Lu Xun, then I and all the soldiers may not be able to defeat him!" Li Xian finished what he said after a while.
"The top priority is to find out where Lu Xun is. If we really encounter Lu Xun's main force, we will have to decide the outcome on the Yangtze River." Li Xian frowned slightly and said loudly.
Li Yan suddenly stepped forward and said: "Captain, I know that you are deeply worried about General Tian's death, but now, with the power of victory, our army personally leads the building boat out of the gorge into Yidu. Going down the Xiangjiang River and heading straight to Changsha, the Soochow soldiers must be frightened. No matter how capable Lu Xun is, if his soldiers dare not fight, they will be defeated! Why should the general hesitate?"
Li Xian then sighed and said: "General Zhengfang doesn't know something. He doesn't dare to fight unless it's the governor. It's really the governor who is waiting for someone!"
Before Li Xian finished speaking, he heard a long shout outside the Governor's Mansion.
"The imperial edict has arrived!"
The generals hurriedly knelt down to receive the order. Obviously, the order had nothing else to do. They just told Li Xian that although the killing and surrender was an act beyond his authority, they made an exception and allowed this time. Another news was that Zhang Wen, the envoy of Soochow, came to Yong'an to question Why did Liu Chan betray the alliance and kill 30,000 Soochow infantry? Now the Soochow government and the public are in shock, thinking that Liu Chan is going to launch an army to attack Wu. Liu Chan was immediately annoyed by the question, saying that he wanted to attack Wu and avenge the late emperor, and even threatened that he would The personal expedition will arrive in Yong'an soon.
"Your Majesty wants to conquer Soochow in person?" Li Xian didn't react for a while. Is this the An Le Gong in the history books? He quickly asked the eunuch who passed the order.
The eunuch first saluted and said: "Captain, your Majesty is definitely going to fight in person. Your Majesty has watched the so-called football match created by the Governor for more than a month, and everyone's blood is boiling. At this moment, he is afraid of the emperor's wrath, and he wants to let him go." The blood debt of Soochow has been repaid with blood."
Li Xian immediately cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, father-in-law, for informing me!"
After seeing off the eunuch who was delivering the order, Li Xian immediately began to make arrangements: "Everyone, Your Majesty has now set off from Chengdu and will arrive in Yong'an in the near future. From today on, the generals of all ministries will stick to their posts and wait for His Majesty's arrival. Without my general orders No one can act without permission."
"yes!"
...
Above the Wu Kingdom Hall.
"Bastard! This Quan Cong!" Sun Quan put all the battle reports on the ground and saw Sun Luyu crying in the pear blossoms and raining down below, "Why did I choose such a useless husband for you! I will kill him with my own hands. Thirty thousand people! Thirty thousand people! Do you know how much blood and sweat I have spent on raising these thirty thousand people from Jiangdong!"
Sun Luyu's companion was sobbing, and his companion said angrily: "Father, you have to make the decision for your daughter. Not only does Quan Cong not know how to lead an army, he also flirts with women everywhere. My daughter has never had a good life since she married him. There must be Zhou Lang, otherwise my daughter will die of depression sooner or later."
The Zhou Lang here is not the dead Zhou Yu, but Zhou Xun, Zhou Yu’s son. To be honest, these two people were not the first to go together, but they were together when Quan Cong was still there. It’s just that It was not easy for Quan Cong to get angry. After all, she was a princess. Even if she was a cuckold, she could only endure it. It was not until the leader found this opportunity to indulge outside. However, this time she encountered a tough opponent and suffered a huge defeat.
Sun Quan was not a fool. He naturally knew what kind of character his daughter was. He felt dizzy and said, "You are not ashamed! You are a married woman, and you are just saying these things!"
"I don't care about my daughter. It was Brother Ba who recommended Quan Cong to Your Majesty. If he hadn't been interested in the power of the whole family, he wouldn't have thought of recommending such a useless person to His Majesty."
Sun Quan became even more angry: "Go and call that idiot Sun Ba over here! These soldiers are almost riding on my head to shit and pee! They still want to rely on the nobles, I have to plunder the entire Cong family." ! Come here, go and put Quan Cong’s family in jail, except my grandson and daughter, don’t make me stupid, go quickly!”
After shouting angrily, the surrounding guards were frightened and ran away to perform their tasks.
"Okay, dear daughter, come on, don't you just like Xun'er? I obey you. If Quan Cong comes to the west, you will remarry Zhou Xun, but my daughter can only be the first wife. You have to let him marry his original wife. Fix it, otherwise I will never allow you to suffer this injustice."
"Thank you, Father!" Sun Luyu turned from tears to laughter, and after Sun Quan signaled her to get out of here, he left happily.
At this time, Sun Chong entered the palace with a list of names and said: "Your Majesty, these are the answer sheets of the first two hundred candidates for this imperial examination. Since the names of the first two hundred candidates in the imperial examination are all anonymous, your Majesty now needs to hand-pick the first one to be the number one scholar. Then make a notice to Jiangdong."
Sun Quan also lost his temper for a moment, and looked at the two hundred volumes of slips. He was also very happy. He immediately picked up a red pen, circled a mark on the test paper of a candidate named Li Huan, and said: "This person can be the number one scholar." Obviously. This is a test paper for a poor student. After all, there is no such person in the entire famous family.
Sun Chongyan said: "Should I submit those two or three to the Chancellor for approval? Or will your Majesty appoint them personally?"
Sun Quan thought for a moment and said, "Let's do this. I will order the first ten in person, and the next one hundred and ninety will be handed over to the Chancellor."
"I obey the decree!"
"Also, tomorrow morning, I want all the top ten to go to the palace to meet me. I will personally test them to see if they have real talent and learning."
"I obey the decree!"
