Meng Yeluo took out a small yellow silk package from his arms, threw it on the case and said, "I didn't run away, but I came to bargain with you on behalf of the Southern Han Dynasty."
Yuan Feng opened the yellow silk bag with great interest, and a small and exquisite gold seal was exposed. There were a bunch of seal characters engraved on the seal. Yuan Feng couldn't understand it, but he could vaguely guess the meaning, and asked with a smile: "
That Sister Xia won’t make you the prime minister, will she?”
Meng Yeluo laughed and said: "You are right, I am really the right prime minister of the Southern Han Dynasty, and I can be regarded as a very human minister."
Yuan Feng patted Meng Yeluo and smiled and said: "Okay, wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat. No matter where we go, our thirteenth son will be at the level of a general or a prime minister. Tell me, what's the point of sending you here in the Southern Han Dynasty?"
intention?"
"It's just bargaining. Let's see if we can negotiate by dividing the river and dividing the world equally." Meng Yeluo said with a smile.
Yuan Feng also smiled and replied: "There is no door. My hundreds of thousands of troops have marched to the Yangtze River. The hatred of the country and the family can be wiped out at a glance. Why should I withdraw my troops and stop fighting? What qualifications does the Southern Han have to share the world with me? Is it true?"
Is it based on her so-called status as the late emperor’s orphan?”
The words were already ridiculing. Yuan Feng was very suspicious of Xia Qinxin's identity as the crown princess. There are many people pretending to be the former crown prince these days. The Xia family is just more powerful.
After the Great Zhou Dynasty was defeated, the so-called Southern Han Dynasty was next. Don’t think that just because you hung up a sign with Chinese characters, you became the destined emperor.
Meng Yeluo said: "Xia Qinxin and the others are from a Jianghu gang. They are from a wealthy family. They act in a unique style and do not stick to trivial matters. They have many talents under their command. They know that I am yours, but they still entrust them with important responsibilities. Just this
My broad-mindedness is enough to make people admire me. This time the Southern Han Dynasty sent me to cross the river to negotiate without even sending a monitor, which also proves that they are full of confidence in the future general trend of the world."
Yuan Feng said: "According to what you say, it will take some trouble to compete with the Southern Han Dynasty for the world."
Meng Yeluo said seriously: "Of course, the Xia family has an excellent reputation among the people in Jiangnan. The story of Emperor Wu's three visits to Jiangnan and his marriage with Xia's mother has long been popular. Therefore, at least the people in Jiangnan firmly believe in the identity of Queen Kaitian.
There is no doubt that since ancient times, the south of the Yangtze River has been home to outstanding people, including advisors and military generals, industrialists, merchants, and farmers. Maritime trade has been making a fortune every day. Moreover, the water network in the south of the Yangtze River is dense and it is not suitable for cavalry to take advantage of it. Therefore, conquering the south of the Yangtze River has a long way to go and cannot be accomplished in one fell swoop.
"
Yuan Feng was shocked when he heard this, and thought for a long time before saying: "In this way, the right time, place, and people are not conducive to our army, but at this time, we have no choice but to do it. If our army of hundreds of thousands does not cross the river, I am afraid that the morale will be lost."
, I wonder what Thirteenth Lang has any good ideas for?"
Meng Yeluo said: "The first thing we fight for in a war is strength, and the second thing is people's support. The Southern Han Dynasty has both of them. It is impossible to fight to the death. At the moment, we can only pretend to be conciliatory, seek common ground while reserving differences, and destroy the Puppet Zhou first. After all,
In name, you are still half-brothers and sisters, sharing the same enemy who killed your father."
Yuan Feng said: "In that case, why not do this? Let's follow the old story of the Qin Dynasty. In the past, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu agreed to enter Guanzhong first and become king. Xia Qinxin and I made an appointment to enter the capital first and become king. If I win, I will face south.
Bei, grant her the land of Suzhou and Hangzhou. If she wins, I will agree to rule across the river with her."
Meng Yeluo said: "This plan is very good, because it is relatively easy to attack the capital from the south of the Yangtze River. The court is corrupt, the soldiers and horses are vulnerable, and there is no natural barrier. They must think that they can enter the capital first, so they will definitely agree."
"But..." Meng Yeluo asked again, "What are your plans? Are you really afraid of them and want to move across the river to conquer them?"
Yuan Feng said: "Thirteenth Master, do you even think that I can't defeat the Yangtze River?"
Meng Yeluo said: "The Yangtze River is naturally dangerous. How can we cross it casually? Since ancient times, many talented and resourceful heroes have been trapped in the north of the Yangtze River, looking at the river and sighing."
Yuan Feng said: "It is like Cao Mengde and others who fell into the sand, but it is also as successful as Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty and Taizu of the Song Dynasty. In the same river, if it is an opponent like Sun Zhongmou, even if it is me, I have no chance of winning, but facing a lingering puppet
Zhou He is a violent and eccentric emperor, and I have a plan in mind."
"Then...can you really put on your wings and fly over?" Meng Yeluo still didn't understand.
"Haha, the Yangtze River is thousands of miles up and down, can they ban all the ships? I have my own way."
When it came to military secrets, Meng Yeluo didn't ask much. The two chatted about other things. As the time got later, they removed the banquet and slept together. They talked all night. When they were about to fall asleep, Yuan Feng suddenly
He asked: "By the way, is Xia Qinxin married?"
Meng Yeluo was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "No, she is the Queen. I wonder who among the heroes in the world is worthy of her, except you, my ninth brother."

Meng Yeluo only stayed for one day before returning to the south of the Yangtze River. Although the Yangtze River was tightly guarded and no one was allowed to enter the water, people could still come and go freely. It really fulfilled Yuan Feng's words. You can also seal the entire Yangtze River, which is thousands of miles away.
The navy of the imperial court had long been panic-stricken and had prepared for a rainy day. In this era of changing dynasties, if you choose the right employer, you will be rich and prosperous for several lifetimes, but if you choose the wrong one, your whole family will be destroyed.
The capital city is still a prosperous and prosperous scene that has been maintained by itself. The imperial court strictly ordered that lanterns must be hung on the street facades, and the lanterns are not allowed to be extinguished at night. However, the sparse pedestrians in twos and threes at night indicate a scene of the end of the world. Even a three-year-old boy
Everyone knows that this great Zhou Dynasty will come to an end.
At the south gate of the capital, five or six men dressed in ordinary people's clothes slowly walked over pushing a cart carrying goods. Although they were dressed normally and deliberately used bamboo hats to cover up the glare in their eyes, the tendons on their arms and the smoothed tips of their fists
But he betrayed them deeply. These big guys must have some background.
When we walked to the gate of the city, a gust of wind blew up and lifted up the clothes of one of the tough men, accidentally revealing the handle of a short firecracker hidden inside. The men were shocked and stretched their hands under the clothes.
Unexpectedly, the eyes of the imperial guard who saw this scene flickered and turned their heads away, pretending that they had not seen it.
Several big men breathed a sigh of relief and swaggered into the city. They were spies of the Southern Han Dynasty military. They came to the capital specially to step on the plate. Her Majesty the Queen said that she wanted to make a bet with the north. Whoever goes first to the capital will be the boss. The younger ones
How can we not work hard on our errands? When the world is settled, they will all be the founding fathers of the country.
The officials in the capital also began to consider their own options. They did not want to find the Tatars from the Western Regions in Jiangbei who could eat people without spitting out their bones, and they could not establish relationships with them, so they could only turn their attention to the Southern Han Dynasty. After all, they were all natives of their hometown.
People, if you don’t have any relatives in Suzhou and Hangzhou, you can get the word out in a roundabout way. If you don’t surrender quickly while you still have some power in your hands, you won’t have a chance when the army actually enters the city.
Everyone thinks that the great Zhou Dynasty has exhausted its vitality and will definitely be doomed. However, even if the country is destroyed, it will not be destroyed by the Northern Han Dynasty, but by the Southern Han Dynasty. The general trend of the world is that if it unites for a long time, it will divide and unite for a long time. Maybe it will last for a hundred years.
The division of the North and the South is about to take place, but what is different from the past is that the names of the northern and southern courts are both Han.
There are fewer and fewer memorials coming from all over the country in the Forbidden City and the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart. Counting on a few counts, the area controlled by the Great Zhou Dynasty is not much anymore. The north has become a mess. Li Boxheng of Huguang elected his nephew as the emperor, and he has become independent.
, Fujian and Guangdong and other places were thrown into chaos by Hu Dahai's rebels, and they could not protect themselves. Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou and other places were separated by mountains and had long lost contact. I am afraid that the local chiefs and kings would take advantage of the chaos and become independent.
Even Jiangnan, at the door of the capital, was in a state of decay. The meticulous work of the Han army had penetrated to the feet of the emperor. It was not that the emperor didn't know, but he didn't want to take care of it, because even his most trusted imperial guards in the inner factory were in cahoots with them.
Looking for a way out.
The emperor's spirit became very strange. Every day he would go to the Great Baoen Temple to sit there for a while, muttering something to himself, crying, laughing and bursting. Then he would go to the harem to look at Concubine Cui's belly and stare at it.
Concubine Cui’s belly was getting bigger day by day, and it was almost time for the fruit to ripen and fall. Every time he caressed the little life in her belly, the emperor felt his real existence and hope.
The Great Zhou Dynasty will not die, the Zhang family will not die, and a new prince will be born soon. The second prince is still in Denglai, and the fourth prince is still in Shanxi. There are still many loyal ministers in Great Zhou Dynasty. In this world situation,
There are still variables.
It was another Mid-Autumn Festival, and there was a banquet in the palace as usual, but the scene was much worse than in previous years. The tributes from various places were 90% less. It is no wonder that the world was in chaos and the roads were blocked, even if the governors from various places were still loyal to the imperial court.
, and do not have the ability to transport tributes.
The variety of food and drinks was a bit less, but the portions were still sufficient. More officials came to the palace to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival than in previous years. In order to make up the number, even the seventh-grade donation class was allowed to enter the palace for the banquet. These low-level officials brought their Yongzhi
The family members of the secular fans were walking cautiously in the magnificent palace, and they were cautious and stingy in their movements, which made the eunuchs and maids who were accustomed to the world couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh. The spirit of the Great Zhou Dynasty is really about the same.
People can also enter the palace for banquets.
The emperor held a grand banquet in Fengtian Hall, where wine and food were served continuously. Some officials such as Yang Feng also wrote poems to praise the golden autumn scenery, the prosperous age of the Great Zhou Dynasty, etc. Today's moonlight is also particularly good, and finally there is a festive atmosphere.
, the emperor also had a smile on his face, but he was irritated by another dish.
This is a very ordinary steamed anchovy dish. It is not very expensive, but the meat is delicate and delicious. It is a commonly used river delicacy in the imperial dining room.
But the bad thing is that it is only produced in the Yangtze River Basin, and in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River Basin around Zhenjiang. The presence of shad in the palace banquets shows that the people below are violating the river ban at all and not strictly enforcing the river ban.
"The imperial court is not allowed to dive into the water, where did the shad come from?" The emperor was furious, and the sun jumped suddenly, but the courtiers were already used to it. The emperor's temperament changed drastically and he was moody. I don't know who he will blame this time.
Bad luck.
The admiral of the Yangtze River Navy came out of the queue cautiously, knelt on the ground and responded: "To inform the emperor, this fish was not caught from the river, but caught on the riverside."
The emperor became more and more angry, grabbed the plate and threw it. There was a loud bang, and the officials were startled. Then they realized that the sound was not the sound of the emperor throwing the plate, but the sound of cannon.
