Yingshui is not calm.
This big river starts to roar every rainy season and bursts repeatedly, turning the downstream into a swamp country.
"Someone wants to divert Yingshui and extend it all the way to block Datang from the opposite side."
On the shore of Yingshui, Peng Jing was wearing a green shirt, looking like an outsider.
Fang Chong was wearing an official uniform, holding a round fan in his hand and gently fanning it, "It's a good idea, but we have to drive Tang Jun out first."
"Zhang Huan is besieging Yezhou City, and Shi Zhongtang on the right is rushing and attacking. Xinzhou is in danger. As for the left, the offensive is the fiercest. Now Huangzhou does not know what to do."
Peng Jing sighed.
"Lei Qi is here, so he should be fine." Fang Chong felt that Peng Jing was overly worried.
"Then Yang Xuan is a famous general in Northern Xinjiang, and he is facing the Northern Liao people in the north." Peng Jing smiled wryly, "Yes! But with Lei Qi around, at least Huangzhou can be defended."
"Yezhou in the middle road is still holding on, but the middle road is the main force in southern Xinjiang, and the old man can't guard it for a few days." Fang Chong was a little dissatisfied, "The generals said that they must send reinforcements as soon as they opened their mouths. Tens of thousands of tens of thousands."
"Xinzhou is just that big. The reinforcements went to fight the Tang army. This battle could easily turn into a decisive battle. The old man thought it was too early."
"It's too early. It's better to follow the established plan, first to wear down the spirit of the Tang army, and when they come to the front line of Yongzhou, they will inevitably become exhausted soldiers. In addition, the casualties are not small. In this way, our army will have a chance of victory when we attack."
Peng Jing nodded, "This battle has a lot to do with it. If we lose, Sun Shi and his gang will follow suit."
"I don't care if they make trouble or not. It's just that...if the New Deal hadn't caused the world to go uproar, everyone in Da Zhou should unite as one to expel Tang Jun."
"That's right! Once the new policy comes out, the world will be uneasy." Peng Jing was a little annoyed, "Scholars are the backbone and foundation of Dazhou, but the new policy is aimed at them.
Is this to actively break Da Zhou's backbone?
The old man argues with Sun Shi for a long time, that stubborn old man just said that the world is not ruled by a small group of people, the people have already been overwhelmed, if there is no reform, the world will be in chaos.
But you see, the people live and work in peace and contentment, occasionally some foolish men and women say something about rebellion, the hearts of the people are as strong as iron, and the laws of the government are like furnaces, it's just a blow. "
Fang Chong sneered, "Sun Shi and Han Bi just wanted to use those people to cut their flesh and cut their flesh to please the people of the world. His Majesty also followed suit, but he didn't know that a strong enemy was on his side. If the internal chaos continued, Da Zhou... How long can it last?"
"Look!" Peng Jing said, "This battle is the key."
A troop of cavalry appeared on the opposite bank.
Then more cavalry appeared.
"Where is it?" Peng Jing asked with narrowed eyes.
"The sun is blinding and I can't see clearly."
The cavalry passed slowly on the pontoon bridge, looking downcast.
"Looks like Lei Qi's wolf cavalry?" said a general.
More than ten riders came here.
"It's...it's Qian Nan!" Peng Jing's body shook, and he saw Qian Nan and Lei Qi.
"Meet the two gentlemen."
Lei Qi got off his horse and came over, knelt down and said, "I'm incompetent, I've lost Huangzhou!"
Huangzhou is lost.
In the imperial city of Bianjing, Nian Xu almost fainted when he got the news.
The medical officer came to diagnose and treat him, which made him recover a bit.
"At the beginning, you said that there were [-] troops and Lei Qi was there, and Huangzhou was impenetrable, but it didn't take long before it was lost!"
Nian Xu held back his anger, "Who can tell me what's going on?"
For things like this, several officials and generals must be taken down, otherwise, how can they show that rewards and punishments are clear?
Qian Nan stepped forward, "Your Majesty, the guilty minister is incompetent... The Tang army is fierce, and the leader is Yang Xuan, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. From the beginning of the battle, the defenders of the city were not afraid of death, and went forward..."
Han Bi sneered, "Then why did you lose Huangzhou?"
Qian Nan belonged to Peng Jing's gang, and they wanted his life while he was sick!
Beating the dog in the water is one of Han Bi's housekeeping skills.
"Seeing the bravery of the enemy army, the sinner suggested asking Bianjing to dispatch experts to prevent Yang Xuan's subordinates from making a surprise attack..."
Lei Qi raised his head abruptly, "You..."
Qian Nan pointed at Lei Qi, and said in a stern voice: "But Lei Qi flatly refused, saying that this move would shake Bianjing and affect the morale of our army.
The guilty minister fought hard according to reason, but in the end this battle was commanded by Lei Qi, and the guilty minister could only watch helplessly as Yang Xuanling's masters attacked and broke through the city in one fell swoop. "
Lei Qi's face turned ashen, "That's the old man's suggestion, but you interfered with it!"
Qian Nan sneered, "At that time, you kept saying that Bianjing was shaking, and that the old man didn't know the soldiers... Now you are right."
"Shameless!" Lei Qi stood up and clenched his fists.
"Yeah!" Peng Jing glanced at him, Lei Qi's cheeks trembled, and he saluted, "Mr. Peng, although this battle is under the command of a subordinate official, Qian Nan has repeatedly interfered. Sitting in the township, but Qian Nan said that this move will cause worries among the military and civilians in Bianjing..."
"All right!"
Nian Xu interrupted the internal strife, "What happened to this battle will be investigated later."
Qian Nan sighed, "Then Yang Xuan is very experienced in using soldiers..."
In a word, it means a lot.
——Lei Qi, the famous general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, is not the opponent of the famous general of Northern Xinjiang.
Sun Shi said with a cold face, "Huangzhou is lost, and the Tang army's left army will face Yongzhou directly. What's the next step?"
Peng Jing said: "The old man has sent someone to invite Bai Xiong."
Bai Xiong, another famous Southern Zhou general, had the same position as Peng Jing and others.
Bai Xiong came very quickly.
On the way, he asked about the situation of the battle, and his opening was shocking.
"I'm afraid Yongzhou won't be able to hold on!"
Nian Xu was startled, "Why?"
Bai Xiong said: "It's a surprise that Xinzhou in the middle road can stop Zhang Huan's army for so long, but we can't count on them after that. The next thing is the three-way army will join forces to attack Yongzhou."
"My Great Zhou's elite are now gathered on the front line of Yongzhou, can it be compared to the Southern Border Army?" Sun Shi said dissatisfied.
Bai Xiong said: "If we fight according to the current situation, we won't be able to fight."
"How about that?" Han Bi sneered.
Bai Xiong said: "You can see some clues in this battle... The two ministers are thinking about the battle situation, but there are countless people behind them who are holding back and stabbing knives. In this situation, even if you are invincible In the future, it will not help!"
Nian Xu is silent.
This is demanding power for the two of Peng Jing!
"Who pulled their hind legs?" Han Bi said with a sullen face, "Who swore at the beginning that he would make Tang Jun hate Xinzhou and Huangzhou, and for this reason, he transferred a lot of food, grass and weapons to Huangzhou, and now they have become Tang Jun. supply."
Bai Xiong smiled, "Qian Zhizhou knows about this matter."
Qian Nan nodded and glanced at Lei Qi, "It's hard to say!"
Only now did Lei Qi realize that he had become cannon fodder for the struggle between the two factions.
Whatever the situation of the battle, whatever the cause of defeat, have become the tools of these two groups of people!
It turns out that they don't have the overall situation in their eyes, but only their own interests!
Nian Xu said calmly: "Lei Qi, go home and reflect on yourself!"
This is a foot ban in disguise!
Then there was a great battle, and the two factions quarreled loudly in front of the imperial court.
Han Bi pointed at Peng Jing and cursed, "It's Qian Nan's fault for losing Huangzhou..."
"alright, alright!"
Nian Xu smashed down the jade pendant that was close to him, which stopped the fierce struggle.
The eunuch beside him, Xie Yingong, shouted: "Quiet!"
Snapped!
A servant flicked the net whip.
The two factions backed away and looked at Nian Xu together.
Nian Xu said slowly: "Huangzhou fell, and the Tang army is coming in menacingly. In this battle, Peng Qing, Fang Qing..." He glanced at Bai Xiong, "Bai Qing, try your best. I will wait for you in Bianjing." !"
"Yes!"
The ministers leave.
Nian Xu sat on the throne and didn't move for a long time.
"Yin Gong, what do you think of this matter?"
Xie Yingong bowed, "Slaves dare not interfere in politics."
Nian Xu said calmly: "In the past, all the ministers said that they should be careful about internal servants interfering in politics, but today they are so aggressive that I don't even have a chance to say a word.
I can't tell, so let someone else tell.You are clear about the viewer, and break it down for me. "
Xie Yingong was born as a general, and said: "Your Majesty, before the war, all the gentlemen were optimistic about Huangzhou, and that's why Lei Qi was in charge. But Lei Qi was defeated.
The servant girl Yang Xuan still remembers... When he was on a mission to Bianjing, His Majesty ordered the mission to go around, encountered rebels in Yecheng, saw that they were defeated, and Yang Xuan took over the command.
Even though he was unfamiliar with the place, he still defeated the rebels with the slack defenders, this battle I have thought about..."
"how?"
"Excellent! Extraordinary!"
"Oh! So, do you think Lei Qi's defeat is not unjust?"
"Who is more powerful, Lei Qi or Yang Xuan, I dare not speak falsely, but even if I lose, it shouldn't be so fast.
The servant girl heard Qian Nan's words earlier, and the servant girl felt that these words seemed like what Lei Qi should have said. "
Nian Xu was silent, with a calm expression.
"Great Zhou values civility over martial arts, and the status of warriors is low. If Qian Nan really wants to hire good people to help, there are in the palace. But the slaves are surprised, how can Lei Qi stop him? Wouldn't it be good to have more good people? Lei Qi is stupid ?”
Nian Xu sighed softly, "It turns out that they are all smart people. But why do Peng Jing and others think I am stupid? Under the blue sky and broad daylight, they are full of nonsense."
There was anger in the calm tone.
"But what can I do? If I don't stop it, then Sun Shi and others will take advantage of the situation to attack, and the court will be in chaos. So, what else is there to fight in this battle? I will just grab it and go to Chang'an to live in peace."
After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, more than a dozen countries were destroyed, and those so-called lords of the country were conferred titles when they arrived in Chang'an.Among them, the most famous one is the lord of Shu, who was named Marquis of Anle.
This gentleman lived quite comfortably in Chang'an. Once he went to the palace for a banquet, and when asked if he was comfortable in Chang'an, he replied: I am happy here, but I don't think about Shu.
Xie Yingong shook his head lightly, "Your Majesty, it's better to take care of your health."
If the anxiety continued like this, the Great Zhou Emperor might fall down again.
……
Lei Qi returned home.
The family welcomed the news.
"This is slander!"
Even the old wife knew it was a slander.
Lei Qi sat down, "The old man knows, everyone knows, but no one knows."
He looked at the sky in Bianjing and suddenly smiled.
"The biggest mistake of the old man is that he didn't stand on any side, so today everyone knows that the old man was wronged, but no one shouted for the old man...
injustice! "
A roar in Bianjing City was quickly annihilated in enthusiasm.
The news that the Tang army broke through Huangzhou and was about to march to Yongzhou spread, and the gentry burst out with amazing enthusiasm.
Grain, manpower, whatever you want!
A huge amount of materials gathered in Bianjing.
There is only one purpose: the old party must win!
"Master."
After being lost from Huangzhou, Mengzhang followed Fang Chong.
Fang Chong raised his head, "Then Yang Xuan has some good players around him. It is said that the qi and blood are tyrannical, and ordinary good players are vulnerable. Some people say that monks should be used to resist, what do you think?"
Meng Zhang said: "The so-called monks are just people who are dedicated to cultivation and seek longevity. The most pious ones never interfere with world affairs, lest they will be distracted and affect their cultivation.
Furthermore, monks may seem powerful, but they are just ordinary people, and they have to retreat in the face of powerful crossbows.If surrounded by the army and used crossbow arrows to clear the way, the monks can only become ghosts. "
Fang Chong's heart moved, "If you use the bed slave..."
Meng Zhang said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's a god, but I have to stay away."
……
Huangzhou is broken.
This news stimulated the army in the middle.
Zhang Chumao took the lead and almost broke the city several times, but was driven down by the defenders tenaciously.
After several days of attacking like this, Zhang Huan became furious. When he appeared in armor one morning, the entire central army was furious.
This battle was so useless that the main general needed to take action.
"Alcohol and meat are enough!"
The aroma of wine and meat began to fill the camp.
A sergeant salivated and said: "This is a rare delicacy."
An old soldier grinned and said, "You have to have a full meal before you die, don't you!"
After a meal of wine and meat, Tang Jun launched an attack again.
This time, no one backed down.
All the things that Mingjin retreated from the army were put away.
The defenders also knew that today would probably be a decisive battle, and even the common people climbed to the top of the city.
"People are in the city!"
The guard roared and was taken away by a crossbow arrow.
The lieutenant shouted and took over the command.
Half a day later, the city was broken!
"Master, massacre the city!"
"These dogs killed how many of our brothers!"
"Master!"
Zhang Huan knew that his subordinates were red-eyed.
The bloody army needs to be appeased, and the best way is to continue killing, burning, killing and looting.
Zhou Zun said lightly: "Once the city is slaughtered, it will be even more difficult."
Of course Zhang Huan knew this truth, "All go back, the family members of the fallen soldiers will be given priority to those seized in the city."
It is also good to use money to appease the morale of the army.
"Sir, the army on the right broke the Shuangfeng."
Shi Zhongtang also accelerated the speed of attack.
But still behind.
"Tell him that the army needs to rest in Yezhou for five days. After five days, Xinzhou will not be broken. Come and see me!"
Zhou Zun returned to his residence and said to Chang Mu: "I feel that the southern expedition is the real beginning."
Chang Mu said: "That's right! I underestimated the enemy at the beginning. The army was blocked on the front line of Yezhou, which gave the Yongzhou Zhou army a chance to prepare calmly. The next battle... I feel that the sky will be full of blood!"
Zhou Zun sat down wearily, and someone brought tea.
He took a sip of tea, "The northern army was supposed to be an assistant in this battle, but unexpectedly it became the highlight."
Chang Mu smiled and said, "I've been wandering around the camp for the past two days, and when the soldiers mentioned my uncle, they were all full of praise. I heard more than one person say that my uncle is a famous general of the Tang Dynasty."
"Famous General of the Tang Dynasty!"
There was more relief in Zhou Zun's eyes, "I am quite surprised that he can shine this time."
Chang Mu tentatively said: "The old man looks at my uncle, as if he wants to take root in northern Xinjiang. Now that he is the governor, it will be more difficult to climb up in the future."
Zhou Zun said: "Zhou Shi, you should do your best to help!"
Aristocratic families are rich in resources, but not everyone can use these resources.As the head of the family, Zhou Zun needs to consider the entire Zhou family as a whole, and distribute resources as fairly as possible.
Otherwise, who would be convinced?
Once internal discord arises due to the unfair distribution of resources, no matter how powerful the family is, it will also decline.
This is the truth that history has proved countless times.
Chang Mu smiled and said, "After this battle, who can refuse to accept it?"
Zhou Zun put down his teacup and said quietly:
"If the Zhou family sends out a northern border envoy...the five surnames of this family should also be called differently!"

Yingshui is not calm.
This big river starts to roar every rainy season and bursts repeatedly, turning the downstream into a swamp country.
"Someone wants to divert Yingshui and extend it all the way to block Datang from the opposite side."
On the shore of Yingshui, Peng Jing was wearing a green shirt, looking like an outsider.
Fang Chong was wearing an official uniform, holding a round fan in his hand and gently fanning it, "It's a good idea, but we have to drive Tang Jun out first."

"Xinzhou is just that big. The reinforcements went to fight the Tang army. This battle could easily turn into a decisive battle. The old man thought it was too early."
"It's too early.

"Tell him that the army needs to rest in Yezhou for five days. After five days, Xinzhou will not be broken. Come and see me!"
Zhou Zun returned to his residence and said to Chang Mu: "I feel that the southern expedition is the real beginning."
Chang Mu said: "That's right! I underestimated the enemy at the beginning. The army was blocked on the front line of Yezhou, which gave the Yongzhou Zhou army a chance to prepare calmly. The next battle... I feel that the sky will be full of blood!"
Zhou Zun sat down wearily, and someone brought tea.
He took a sip of tea, "The northern army was supposed to be an assistant in this battle, but unexpectedly it became the highlight."
Chang Mu smiled and said, "I've been wandering around the camp for the past two days, and when the soldiers mentioned my uncle, they were all full of praise. I heard more than one person say that my uncle is a famous general of the Tang Dynasty."
"Famous General of the Tang Dynasty!"
There was more relief in Zhou Zun's eyes, "I am quite surprised that he can shine this time."
Chang Mu tentatively said: "The old man looks at my uncle, as if he wants to take root in northern Xinjiang. Now that he is the governor, it will be more difficult to climb up in the future."
Zhou Zun said: "Zhou Shi, you should do your best to help!"
Aristocratic families are rich in resources, but not everyone can use these resources.As the head of the family, Zhou Zun needs to consider the entire Zhou family as a whole, and distribute resources as fairly as possible.
Otherwise, who would be convinced?
Once internal discord arises due to the unfair distribution of resources, no matter how powerful the family is, it will also decline.
This is the truth that history has proved countless times.
Chang Mu smiled and said, "After this battle, who can refuse to accept it?"
Zhou Zun put down his teacup and said quietly:
"If the Zhou family sends out a northern border envoy...the five surnames of this family should also be called differently!"
