Once all the forces in Linyi go to war, Tang Dynasty will become the arbiter. At that time, I am afraid that even if Liu Rengui wants to taste the taste of the king and queen of Linyi, both Bhadara Shura and Zhuge Di will have to put themselves
My wife washed her clean and sent her to Liu Rengui's bed...
After a few glasses of wine, Pei Xingjian was a little excited and eager to try: "Now that the wooing and differentiation have been completed, will the attack begin?"
Liu Rengui looked indifferent: "That's natural. If we don't show the power of the Tang Dynasty, how can those clowns kneel at our feet and beg for mercy?"
"Here -" Pei Xingjian raised his head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, then slammed the glass on the table and said with emotion: "Mother! Holding the sun and the moon in your hand, watching the changes in the wind and clouds with a smile, this vast land I have
The Lord rises and falls! Hail! Hail! This is what a man should do!"
His eyes were full of blazing envy, and he begged: "Brother Liu, why don't we make a change and let my little brother get over this addiction?"
Liu Rengui laughed loudly: "As long as Erlang agrees, what's the problem if the foolish brother gives up the governor to the wise brother? But you don't have to be envious. Right now, you and I are joining forces to do whatever we want in this piece of southern land.
You can do whatever you want! Who is in charge and who is second, and what’s the difference?”
Liu Rengui was domineering and domineering, while Pei Xingjian was sinister and cunning. The two men complemented each other with strength and softness, which was why Fang Jun was assured that they would have full authority to handle the turbulent situation in Lin Yiguo.
However, there must be priorities in the army. Otherwise, if the authority is unclear and the government orders are unclear, major events will be ruined. Su Dingfang had other important matters and was unable to lead his army south to take control of Linyi. Whether Pei Xingjian and Liu Rengui could reach an agreement and compromise became the decisive factor of this operation.
factor……
Now that Liu Rengui has expressed his attitude, how can Pei Xingjian not respond?
He slapped the table and said excitedly: "Brother said this, what do I need to worry about? I am not a greedy person, I just feel itching to see the spectacular scene of using the country as paper and the sword and gun as pen.
, it would be a lifelong regret if a man could not experience something so willful, proud and free in his life!"
Liu Rengui filled Pei Xingjian's wine glass and said: "Being able to control the state of Linyi is a supreme honor for you and me. However, we must not be careless and cause things to go awry. Otherwise, how can I explain it to Erlang and His Majesty? Tomorrow
Early in the morning, Brother Xian led the army to the north, Brother Fool is sitting here. Let's be cautious and act according to your plan. When we meet here one day, the overall situation has been decided. Let's drink the celebration wine and regain this country for our Tang Dynasty and the Han family.
Congratulations on the Five Hundred Miles!"
Pei Xingjian raised his glass, his handsome face flushed with excitement: "Congratulations to our brother for being a famous figure in history!"
"Drinking Saint!"
"Drinking Saint!"
The two clinked their glasses, drank it all, then looked at each other and laughed.
A drama that is enough to create history is about to begin between the two of them...
*****
Songping County.
In the sixth year of Yuanding, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the imperial court established nine counties including Cangwu, Hepu, Yulin, Nanhai, Dan'er, Zhuya, Jiuzhen, Rinan, and Jiaozhi. Songping County was placed under the jurisdiction of Jiaozhi County. In the fourth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty,
The administrative seat of Jiaozhou was moved here and the city was built. In the seventh year of Wude, the General Administration Office of Jiaozhou was changed to the Dudufu of Jiaozhou. In the first year of Zhenguan, the Dudufu of Jiaozhou was under the jurisdiction of Lingnan Road.
The Red River flows mightily and endlessly. It rises from Ailao Mountain and twists and turns southward through the mountains and ridges, carrying a large amount of sediment with it into the sea. This sediment is slowly deposited in the gentle terrain downstream of the river.
, accumulated over time and over time, precipitating a fertile and vast land...
Songping County is located on this land.
For thousands of years, the Red River has connected the upstream and downstream for thousands of miles. Han people, Loyue people, Dai Yi people, Khmer people...many ethnic groups have gathered in this rich and fertile land and thrived without distinguishing each other.
Whenever the Central Plains dynasty was strong and powerful, the invincible army would take advantage of the situation to cross the mountains and move southward to incorporate this land into its territory for management; but when the Central Plains dynasty fell into turmoil and had no time to look south, this land would be invaded and annexed by various forces from the south.
The dynasties of the Central Plains have been divided for a long time and must be reunited and divided for a long time. This land has been ups and downs in this recurring pattern. Today it is the Han people who have the final say, tomorrow it becomes the world of the Luoyue people, and the day after tomorrow it is conquered by the Xiang soldiers of the Linyi Kingdom...
…
However, what remains unchanged is that the industrious and intelligent Han people have lived in this land forever. They have already taken root and sowed seeds, and they are inseparable.
*****
At the beginning of the lanterns, the lights in Songping City were brilliant.
In a house in the west of the city, the shadows of trees are dancing and candlelight is flickering...
An old man in rich brocade clothes sat on the floor. His beard and hair were all white, and his slender face was flickering under the flickering candlelight, looking a little gloomy.
Opposite him were two middle-aged men who were equally well-dressed and wealthy.
There was a carved lacquer table in front of the old man in rich clothes, and a letter was spread out on the table. The three of them sat around, the atmosphere was low, and they all looked at the letter intently, and no one spoke for a while.
…
After a long time, the old man in rich clothes slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, raised his long and snow-white eyebrows slightly, raised his eyelids, looked at the two people in front of him and asked: "You two, what do you think?"
The middle-aged man with a long and narrow face on the left pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "Is there any fraud in it?"
Another middle-aged man with fair face and beard said: "No, in my opinion, what is said in the letter is still credible. How could Fan Zhenlong's evil intentions be hidden from the eyes and ears of the Tang Dynasty? With the domineering temperament of the governor of Da Nang
, Sooner or later, Fan Zhenlong will have to take action. How can Fan Zhenlong give up the position of king? Therefore, it makes perfect sense that Fan Zhenlong secretly mobilized all forces loyal to the royal family of Linyi to rush to Sanghapura City to fight to the death with King Qin of Tang Dynasty. "
The middle-aged man with a narrow face sighed and said: "Even if this matter is true, with the strength of Linyi State, how can it defeat the wolf-like Tang army? Fan Zhenlong wrote a letter inviting us to start a rebellion here. To put it nicely,
Relying on each other and jointly resisting the Tang army, in fact, it only allows us to attract the Tang army's firepower for him and contain the Tang army's strength. Even if Fan Zhenlong can really drive the Tang army into the sea, what is the use to us? The Tang people despise Lin Yiguo's territory.
We only took Da Nang as a trading port, but the Songping County under our feet has been continuously expanded and expanded since the Sui Dynasty. I am afraid that the Tang Army pinched its nose and allowed Fan Zhenlong to escape control, and it is impossible for us to occupy this Songping County.
Ping, Huaide, Nanding, Taiping and other wealthy places..."
The white-faced and beardless middle-aged man looked disdainful: "So what? The Tang navy is invincible on the sea, but how can it drive their invincible warships on land? We have been working hard for decades, and we have been fighting since our fathers generation.
If we are preparing for the great cause of restoration, how can we be timid and allow such a great opportunity to be missed just for the sake of mere risks?"
"Isn't this timid? The Tang Dynasty Jiaozhou General Manager's Office is in the county. I'm afraid that before we can raise our troops, the Tang army will be wiped out by the Tang army who came after hearing the news!"
"Hey! Although the Jiaozhou General Mansion has been here for more than ten or twenty years, how many troops are there in total? The Tang Dynasty didn't covet the land of Annan much, but it was just in the way of the fact that it has been the territory of the Celestial Dynasty since ancient times.
The reason is that I don’t want to be said to be inferior to the previous dynasty. As long as our momentum is overwhelming and invincible, the Tang Dynasty may not necessarily send a large army."
"You also said 'not necessarily'. What if we really send troops? How will we resist then?"
"According to what you say, then we are still in trouble for restoration! If you are afraid of this or that, you can just go home and live with your mother-in-law. Why have you secretly planned it for so many years?"
…
The two of them insisted on each other's opinions and refused to give in to each other. They were quarreling red-faced and no one could convince the other.
The old man in rich clothes lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes. After a long time, he gently raised his hand. The two people who were arguing instantly calmed down and looked at the old man...
The old man opened his cloudy eyes, glanced at the two people in front of him, looked solemn, and said slowly: "The Tang Army's garrison in Da Nang is only three thousand, and in Songping County is only about two thousand. Even if they are both
Why should we be afraid of the tiger and wolf troops? We have been planning for many years, but if the Tang army is helpless even with this little force, how can we talk about the great cause of restoration?"
After a pause, he continued: "As long as the Tang army in the city is eliminated and the Tang navy in Da Nang is restrained by Fan Zhenlong and has no time to cross the sea to the north, we will have a leisurely time to control all the cities in Annan. The Tang army stationed in Panyu is far away.
The mountain is high and the road is far away. Even if we come here, it will take ten and a half days. And... if we immediately declare our vassal status and agree to be a vassal forever after seizing the city, maybe the Tang Dynasty is really troubled by the situation in Annan and does not want to get stuck in the quagmire and just go with the flow.
How about just giving up?"
There was a glimmer of light in his old eyes. Although he himself did not believe that Datang would settle down after the rebels seized the city, but... what if?
He has no time...
No one is a saint, who can be without selfish motives?
And even if you are a sage, I am afraid it cannot be said that you are pure-hearted and have no desire to compete with the world, and implement the tenet of "suffering a loss is a blessing" throughout your life...
If a person does not serve himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.
He has been able to live until now, but he has long looked down upon life and death. The only obsession in his heart is to be able to restore the glory of the Wanchun Kingdom in the past!
His ancestors were Han people who came to Annan to avoid trouble. They had been protected and supported by the Han people for generations. However, when power was placed in front of them, they had long forgotten the blood of the Han family flowing in their bodies, and even did not hesitate to use this fertile and prosperous land.
The Han people on the land were dragged into the endless flames of war... That was the Wanchun Kingdom in his mind that was full of light but was actually greedy for profit and betrayed its ancestors!
