Before Shi Hu summoned him, Yao Yizhong had heard about the magnificence of Ye Palace. Fortunately, he was introduced to it, so he paid much attention to it. I saw that the furnishings in the side hall were quite exquisite. There were several cases and carved lacquer and painted buildings, all of which were decorated with five-color flowers.
A bronze mirror with a diameter of three feet is placed on it, and is decorated with a pure gold dragon carving. The interior is surrounded by green silk brocade, or purple silk brocade, or purple silk brocade. It is extremely luxurious and has a delicate fragrance. It is winter, and it is unexpectedly
There is no chill at all, almost like a fairyland on earth.
"This is a great place for an emperor." Yao Yizhong murmured in a trance.
"I have known Mr. Yao for many years, but this is the first time I have invited you to meet me here." When Yao Yizhong was lost in thought, he heard a sound coming from behind him. Yao Yizhong hurriedly stepped forward and turned around to salute.
The Shi Hu in front of Yao Yizhong has lost his courageous appearance, and is just a patient struggling to survive. Although he is wrapped in gorgeous clothes, he is clearly suffering from a long-term illness, his face is pale, and he is a dying old man. At this time, Shi Hu
Tiger could no longer get up, so he ordered someone to carry him to his bed.
Yao Yizhong knelt down and worshiped: "Your Majesty is seriously ill now. Please take care of your dragon body."
Shi Hu smiled and said: "General Champion, when did you become so humble? Ahem..." Shi Hu couldn't stop coughing after he spoke a little. He seemed to have died.
The female official wanted to help Emperor Zhao up, but Shi Hu's weight was so heavy that the palace maid could not help him. Shi Hu waved his hand and said, "Forget it, the general and I are old acquaintances. We are not polite."
He turned to Yao Yizhong and said, "You have an upright nature, and everyone around me is obedient to me. I'd better listen to you say 'you'."
Because Emperor Zhao made Shi Shi the crown prince, Yao Yizhong was worried about Zhao's government and was restless day and night. Now he heard that Li Nong and Liang Du fought in Xin'an and were defeated, and then fought in Luoyang and were defeated. Now Zhao Guo
The army has retreated to Chenggao. Although Shihu was brutal, Yao Yizhong was so kind to Shihu that the Qiang people were better protected than the Han people. The situation in Zhao State collapsed to this point, and he was also destroyed. At this time, Liang Du's
The army has begun to seize Xingyang, Chenliu and other counties in the east. If we go north to cross the Yellow River, we may be in danger of encircling the two capitals of Zhao State. If Liangdu is not destroyed, the fall of Zhao State will be at our hands.
The rebel army was so powerful and the situation was critical. Shi Hu knew that Li Nong was no longer useful and hurriedly recalled him from the front line.
A few days ago, Li Nong warned that the Zhao army is now weak, but everyone is thinking of self-preservation. Liang Du is planning to rebel, and he has a certain death intention. The struggle between the two armies is all about bravery. Without the popular support of the people,
Although there are many soldiers, they may be defeated one by one. Li Nong bluntly said that his talents are weak and his moral character is weak, and he is not qualified for the important task of leading troops.
When Shi Hu heard this, he was silent for a long time and asked Li Nong who could lead the army.
Li Nong only replied: "Your Majesty must have a plan in mind, what is the use of my further advice?"
Shi Hu was not allowed to recruit King Yan Shi Bin back to Luan to discuss countermeasures. Not only the Han people, but also the Qiang champion general Yao Yizhong, the Di chariot general Pu Hong and others were ordered to return to the capital to discuss the strategy of conquering Liang Du. Yao Yizhong
After hearing the summons from Emperor Zhao, he led more than 8,000 people to Ye to ask for an audience with Shi Hu.
I don't know whether Shi Hu was unintentional or someone was hindering him, but Yao Yizhong, who was always evil, made good friends with King Yan Shi Bin. When he arrived in Yecheng, he was not summoned for several days, and the palace officials only provided meals as comfort.
This provoked Yao Yizhong to curse: "Your Majesty summoned me to fight against thieves. I should be given instructions face to face. How could we come here just to eat?" The palace servants only advised him to be calm and don't be impatient. Yao Yizhong was so angry that he overturned the table.
He cursed: "Now that the emperor summons me but doesn't see me, how can I know whether life is evil or death?"
However, he heard such treacherous and unethical remarks, and was overheard by the palace people, who hurriedly reported it to Shi Hu. Shi Hu always knew that his nature was pure, frugal, upright, and did not cultivate dignity. He repeatedly made slanderous remarks and did not avoid anything.
It was very serious. He said: "If Yao Yizhong's words are true, I am still wondering why Mr. Yao has not come for so long."
So Shi Hu urgently summoned Yao Yizhong into the palace to discuss strategies to quell the rebellion. At this time, someone also said: "Yao Yizhong may have disobedient intentions when he leads his troops. Your Majesty should be cautious."
Shi Hu only sent a summons: "Yi Zhong is here to help me, please don't worry. Please send word that Yao Yizhong has come to the palace to discuss matters."
At this time, Shi Hu invited Yao Yizhong to take a seat, and ordered people to serve tea quickly, and the monarch and his ministers drank it facing each other.
The monarch and his ministers sat speechless for a long time. Shi Hu was seriously ill for a long time and could not support his body. He took the lead and said: "I regret using the wrong person. If I had used Ai Qing earlier, why would Guanzhong be like this? Why would Liang Du think that the chaos is deep? This is my illness.
.Ahem..."
I saw Yao Yizhong, his brows furrowed, his fists pounding the ground, he left the table excitedly and stood up to move forward. The female officer exclaimed: "What do you want, Mr. Yao?"
Yao Yizhong saw the stone tiger on the bed, but the ninety-five-year-old man was confined in this small square inch, and said with a smile: "You are suffering from a serious disease, maybe it is not here?"
Shi Hu remained silent after hearing this.
Yao Yizhong saw that Shi Hu already agreed in his heart, so he took advantage of the situation and continued: "When the child dies, are you worried about evil? Otherwise, why would you get sick? When a child was young, he did not choose good people to teach him, and he was eventually rebellious. Now, why punish him for being rebellious?
What a worry! You have been ill for a long time and the child you gave birth to is very young. If your illness persists for a long time, the world will be in chaos. You should worry about this first and don't worry about thieves."
Shi Hu said dejectedly: "Now, the top priority is to destroy Liang Du. Please take a long-term approach."
Yao Yizhong saw that Shi Hu was so depressed, which was rare, and knew that he could not threaten him any more, so he commented on the current situation: "Liang Du and others got together as thieves because they were poor and wanted to return home. However, I heard that what he had done was very serious."
You should think deeply about how you got here because of your cruelty. Don’t worry, I, the old Qiang, will kill the thieves in one fell swoop for you!”
Yao Yizhong never speaks falsely. After hearing his words, Shi Hu quickly asked: "Is Mr. Yao sure?"
"Your Majesty, I am going to a national calamity. What's more, our state of Zhao, Shi Min, and Pu Hong, are all capable ministers and brave generals, but they have not contributed at this time. Although you were ruthless when you were in power, Liang Du was also ruthless. Now use the divisions of the ten states to destroy Liang Du.
It's easy to move a side army. In addition, King Yan Shi Bin has always been popular, and he is really expected to be the governor. I only hope that you can maintain a clear government and take care of the dragon body. I am afraid that once the mountains collapse, the heroes from all over the world will rise up, and no one can do it.
Suppress the strong generals, and then the swords and swords will be turned against each other, and other countries may take advantage of them, such as Murong Yan in the north."
Shi Hu was quite arrogant before, and was surrounded by flattering and flattering ministers, so he made many mistakes in politics. Now Shi Hu knows that his fate is not long, and he may not have the opportunity to change it, so he has been silent for a long time.
Seeing this, Yao Yizhong stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I hope you will take great care of me."
Shi Hu said sadly: "Mr. Yao, what reward do you want?"
I saw Yao Yizhong stretched out his hand to salute and said goodbye: "You can't break your trust easily. You have already established Shi Shi, and you can't change it suddenly. I asked Shi Bin to be the prime minister to support the young king. Although Li Nong was unable to fight, he was loyal.
Mr. Shi, please also take charge of guarding the city of Ye to slay the treacherous ministers. You will wait until I, the old Qiang, calm down the civil strife before you come back to ask for rewards." After saying this, he rushed out of the door without even saying hello.
"Quickly, help me get up," Shi Hu hurriedly helped him get up.
Shi Hu just leaned against the palace gate and said to himself: "I decided to conquer Jiuzhou with a partial army. Now the whole country cannot destroy one of Liang Du's armies. It's my fault. Fortunately for the Zhao State, Yao Yizhong passed on my will and quickly sent people to announce the imperial edict.
Yao Yi Zhongzhijie, serving in the palace, was given the title of General of the Western Conquest and was given an armored horse."
At this time, Yang Huan, the general manager, arranged for the King of Yan to be ready. He returned to the palace and resumed his duties. He stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the King of Yan told me that Shi Min has always been prestigious in the begging army. In the battle of conquering Yan, Du Shimin returned with his entire army.
His military skills and strategies are not inferior to those of the other generals. He said that he hopes to let Shi Min take over Li Nong's position as commander and be in charge of the begging army."
"This move by King Yan is very appropriate. What do you mean by your words?"
Yang Huan came closer and said: "Shi Min is originally a Han Chinese. If he gains momentum..."
"Mr. Yang," Shi Hu said, changing his weak tone, "I entrust the whole country of Zhao to King Yan, and the people he appoints must be perfect. What can I say?"
When Yang Huan heard this, he was shocked and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, this old slave is just worried that Prince Shi Shi is young and cannot control it, so he acted abruptly."
Shi Hu supported his body and said: "Manager Yang, please pass on my edict to appoint King Yan Shi Bin as the Grand Governor. He will supervise all military affairs at home and abroad. He will lead the entire Zhao army to attack Liang Du. The grain, grass, weapons, soldiers and horses, and generals will all return to Yan.
Wang Jie, we must solve the predicament facing our Zhao country."
Yang Huan hurriedly said: "Old slave, I obey the order."
The State of Yan is in a city by the river. Now the State of Zhao has been stirred up by the Liangdu Rebellion, which has caused great chaos in the Heluo area of Guanzhong. Many people from the State of Zhao have entered the territory of Yan. The scouts everywhere have reported their details, and secret letters have been submitted.
In the meantime, the Yan army in Tuhe was eager to try, and they all wanted to go south.
Although King Murong Jun of Yan did not send an order, Murong Ba took this opportunity to summon Gao Bi, Sun Yong, the southern captain, and Sun Xing, the prefect of Beiping, in the military tent of Tuhe town to discuss matters.
I saw Murong Ba sitting in the center of the palace: "Everyone, we have received the report from the scouts. Now Shizhao is in chaos. Liang Du has captured the two capitals of the Jin Dynasty. At this time, he has conquered Chenliu and other counties in the east. The Zhao Kingdom
The country is in chaos and the armies are restless. This is a great opportunity for our country, Yan, to move south."
When everyone heard this, they all looked happy and excited.
Gao Bi stood up and said: "What you said is true. Now all the elites of Zhao State have gathered in Henan. The Yan area and the northern border are empty. It is a good opportunity for us to go south."
Sun Yong also said: "General, our Tuhe garrison can only protect itself. If we want to move south in a large scale, we need the king's permission and invite troops from the capital. We must be a powerful army to conquer the Central Plains."
"What Mr. Sun said is true. I will write a letter to the King of Yan and ask him to send troops. The long-cherished wish of the ancestors of the Yan Kingdom has been fulfilled in our hands." After saying this, Murong Ba was eager to get up and write a letter.
"Sir, wait a minute." A bright voice cut through the noisy hall. Murong Ba saw that it was Mr. Duan. He was very surprised, but also slightly sullen, and said: "Mr. Duan, I am waiting to discuss important matters. Please step aside and rest for now.
,wait for a second."
"The prince's discussion is a major military and state matter. Women like us are not allowed to foresee state affairs. However, for the sake of a domineering man, we can't care so much."
After saying that, he hurriedly handed him the letter in his sleeve and hurriedly exited the central hall.
Murong Ba browsed the case carefully, his brows gradually furrowed. Gao Bi seemed to have noticed something strange and asked, "Master, is there any news from the Zhao State?"
Murong Ba only looked at everyone seriously and said: "It seems that a centipede insect can die without stiffness. We, the Yan State, cannot underestimate the Zhao State."
Sun Yong hurriedly asked: "General, what do you mean?"
After saying that, Murong Ba showed everyone a letter from his old friend Duan Qin to Duan Xian. The letter basically said: "Emperor Zhao sent King Yan Shi Bin to resume military affairs, and unified Yao Yizhong, Pu Hong, Shi Min, and Duan Qin.
He waited for soldiers and horses from all walks of life to surround Liangdu. He also sent envoys to the Jin Dynasty and Xu Shouchun's land. He also contacted the Zhang family in Liangzhou and returned all the west of Yongcheng to his country. Emperor Zhao granted pardon to the whole world and promised the followers of Liangdu's rebellion.
If he can abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, his father, brother, wife, and children will be numerous in Yecheng. Although Shi Hu is ill, he can still control the overall situation and command many powerful generals. His power cannot be underestimated."
Sun Xing read the letter and said: "Shi Zhao has been running the Central Plains for three generations. Although Liu Yuan was the chief culprit of the Yongjia rebellion, he attacked the city, overthrew the two capitals, slaughtered the Jin army, and captured Emperor Huai. Most of the achievements were attributed to Shi Le Shi
Uncle Tiger and nephew. Now the Zhao Kingdom has ten states, millions of soldiers, and countless fine horses and chariots. Although there is a small setback, if the owner works hard, it will be like wiping away the dust.
It's as easy as flipping a finger."
Gao Bi sighed and said: "He is the culprit of the Hu rebellion, so we should not underestimate the enemy." Then he changed his expression and said: "Well, fortunately, the young master has a girl, she is really a bright light."
Everyone in the hall laughed.
"Everyone, everyone," Murong Ba tried his best to stay calm, his laughter gradually subsided, and he slowly said to everyone, "Although we are fortunate to have Miss Duan's words, we must be prepared with weapons to prevent danger and to curb the aggressors.
"
"We respectfully follow the general's orders."
Ye City has neat regulations and clear functions. The palace, li, and city are all separated. There are two cities in Ye City's trading market: Leping City and Jiankang City.
Leping City is mostly close to the people for daily necessities such as salt, iron, and grain. Jiankang City, as its name suggests, mostly sells rare treasures from the Jin Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River. There are many wine shops, which are a good place for prostitutes to have fun, so there are many dignitaries.
Gathered here.
At this time, a person walked in a big circle from the end gate of Ye Palace and came to a street restaurant in Jiankang City.
"Master Li, may your Majesty have any instructions?" Shi Min, who had been waiting for him as he sat down along the street, asked hurriedly.
"You are sure that your prediction is correct. Now your Majesty is also panicking and has given full authority to King Yan Shi Bin to command the Zhao army. Now not only our beggar army, but also Yao Yizhong of the Qiang people and Pu Hong of the Di people have come to lead their troops.
Li Nong changed his mind and said with a smile, "First of all, congratulations to you for regaining the military power of the Beggar Army. I would like to commend you to Your Majesty, King Yan. These Beggar Army are all subordinates of your father Shi Zhan, and the son inherits his father's legacy."
As it should be.”
Shi Min hurriedly said: "Master Li is too modest."
"I know you. Although your surname is Shi, this stone is different from that other stone. The young master has been suppressed many times for his outstanding achievements, so he is not Han Chinese like us."
"Get out of the way, don't block the officials." There was a commotion outside the wine shop.
Li Nong and Shi Min leaned on the railing to look out, and saw groups of messengers galloping on the street. Flags and flags were flying behind the messengers.
Li Nong pointed to the flag behind the messenger and said to Shi Min: "Look, behind this messenger is a white tiger flag. Your Majesty personally issued the edict."
"You two, I can't tell, I can't tell. This is called Tianlu Banner, how can it violate the taboo of today's holy emperor." This was what a waiter in a restaurant was about to add to their tea. He overheard it and hurriedly tried to dissuade them.
Shi Min joked: "Oh, really, I don't mean to offend you, but you have to cover it up for us."
"I didn't know that the important matter was heard by the officials, so I couldn't do anything about it." After saying that, the little brother hurriedly left.
At this time, the dust was flying outside, and a group of generals and people who looked like they were joining the army came here.
When they arrived outside the wine shop, they saw the leader. He walked to the window of the two of them, knelt down and said: "General, please return to camp quickly to discuss important matters."
"It turned out to be Zhang Wen, General Zhang, but we haven't seen each other since the battle in Miannan. I miss him very much."
"There is a young master in the army who is in charge. My officers and men are in peace. Young Master please come."
Shi Min just jumped down from the window sill, rode on his horse and held his hands to Li Nong and said, "See you soon, Mr. Li."
