Zhou, Dianjiang County.
Yuwen Zan's face was cold, and she was riding in the emperor's car. She felt the violent shaking, and the anger burned in her chest and could not be dissipated no matter how hard she was.
The road is getting harder to go.
Yuwen Zan could see that these people seemed to have changed their direction, and they were no longer continuing to go south.
But in the east.
He still knew about Dianjiang County. Hezhou, it seems like Ba County is going further?
But Yuwen Zan is not qualified to inquire. After all, he has not taken power in power, and there are fewer and fewer old ministers around him.
There were not many members left in the royal family. He, the lord of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was just a decoration and had no effect.
The car suddenly shaking violently, Yuwen Zan felt that he was about to be shaken down, and panic appeared on his cold face again.
Fortunately, the violent bumps ended quickly, and then there was a small bump as usual.
The roads in Ba County are much harder to walk than those in Shu County. The bumps there are from time to time. It continues here. The official road has been disrepair for a long time. Besides, there are many mountain roads, with ups and downs. Yuwen Zan sat there for a long time and felt that he was about to vomit.
They marched all the way, and when it was about to dark, the car finally stopped.
Yuwen Zan stroked his chest, and he felt something was blocking his throat. This kind of march was simply torture for himself!!
An attendant came in with food and drinks, and was about to serve Yuwenzan for food.
At this time, Yuwen Zan could no longer hold it back.
"I will announce my edict! Let the Duke of Sui come to pay a visit!"
The attendant was stunned and hurriedly said yes, and he was about to go out. Yuwen Zan said again, "Let him come and pay homage now!"
The attendant said helplessly: "Your Majesty, follow the Duke of the Kingdom is pursuing the rebels in front of you.:::
"If he doesn't come, I won't eat!"
"How dare you fool me like this?! This army is all around me. Did the Duke of the Kingdom go out to fight against the thief alone?! Let him come in! Come in!"
Yuwen was furious. At this moment, he no longer pretended to be a virtuous master. His hand almost poked the attendant's face and flipped the food in front of him.
The attendant was so scared that he trembled and hurried out.
Yuwen Zan gasped and sat here waiting.
He endured it for so long, but he couldn't stand it anymore.
If he continues like this, he doesn't know whether Liu Taozi will retreat, but he is afraid that he will die halfway.
After waiting like this for a long time, someone finally hurried into the car.
The person who came was Gao Ying, and Gao Ying's condition was not much better than Yuwen Zan. Such a march was actually a huge torture for them. The emperor only had to worry about the bumpy problems of his carriage.
But I suspect that they have to consider more.
The supplies along the way, the situation of the rebels, Liu Taozi's pursuit, concealing himself, appeaseing officials along the way, suppressing soldiers under the devil, etc.
In this case, small things that could be easily solved in the past have become big problems.
For example, the soldiers who came under their sergeant.
It is becoming increasingly difficult to suppress them, so they can only suppress them by allowing them to plunder and let them divide the spoils of the rebels.
Even the emperor has to find a way to comfort him.
Although Gao was tired, he was still not revealed in front of the emperor.
"His Majesty!"
"Why don't I remember being taught by you as Duke Sui?!"
Yuwen spoke with a sarcasm.
Gao Ying said helplessly: "Your Majesty, you don't want to come unless you are a Duke. It's just that the road down the mountain is difficult to move forward. Liu Taozi's small army wanders outside, the rebels occupy the important road and try to ambush the Duke. The Duke's elite leaders are clearing the way...\n.\n.\n..\n'
"Gao Qing, tell me where we are going?"
Gao Ying knew that the little emperor was not easy to fool, and did not deceive him. He said truthfully: "Go to Fuling County."
"Fuling?"
Yuwen Zan laughed, "Didn't you say that you went south to Baisha? Why did it become Fuling again? Besides,
Why don’t I know about this?”
Gao Dian immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the road to Baisha is occupied by the rebels and cannot be captured in a short period of time. Liu Taozi's pursuers are behind him, so they really cannot continue to go south, so they have to go east, Fuling is natural danger, and there is a large army in charge..."
It was another exact remark, such as millions of people and hundreds of thousands of troops.
Yuwen Zan was about to be angry and laughed.
He sat in the upper position with a stern face, "Gao Qing, although I have never taken power, I should have asked about my wishes for major domestic affairs."
"Now, I want to surrender to the Han Dynasty and don't want to fight again. I'm sorry to tell the Duke of Sui about this matter and don't marches again."
Gao Ying didn't care what he said, he raised his head and said loudly, "Your Majesty! You are still young,
When King Qi was still alive, he made an agreement with his ministers to govern political affairs with the ministers of the country. When Your Majesty is strong, he can return the government! The current major events are definitely not something Your Majesty can worry about, and we can do it with confidence, so that we can live up to the kindness of the emperor."
Because of the war, Yuwen Yong was unable to make a posthumous title. When Liu Taozi was about to make a posthumous title, he came to attack. The emperor rushed to run away. He didn't even finish the throne ceremony and just put on a dress.
When Yuwen Zan heard Gao's words, he became even more furious.
"Although I am young, I know the great affairs of the country. The court has no trust in it. Now that I want to submit to the will of heaven, why should you stop it?"
"How long can I last when I go to Fuling?"
"Liu Taozi's food and grass are cut off, can he still withdraw directly to Chang'an? He will definitely be stationed here, waiting for new food and grass to be delivered, and then send troops again. Can a city of one city compete with a country?"
Gao Ying said calmly: "Your Majesty, we set out from Jiangyou, and along the way, we defeated countless rebels.
He avoided Liu Taozi's several attacks, traveled a long distance to appease the officials along the way, and came here all the way, which shows that destiny is still around!"
"Your Majesty is young and it is difficult to understand the truth. Your Majesty wants to surrender to the Han Dynasty and thinks he can follow the story of Anle Gong.
Little do they know that Dugu Qi is really cruel and cunning. Now that he has not stolen the world, he will treat him with courtesy, but once he steals the world, he will definitely turn against him! At that time, we will be like a toy in his hands, and we cannot live or die by ourselves. The Hu people are cruel. Can Your Majesty know the King of Nanyang of Qi?
"I don't know..."
"After Qi Huizhen usurped Qi, the King of Nanyang surrendered to Dugu Qi Huizhen. He thought he could save his life, but Qi Huizhen took him to the street because of his previous resistance, cruelly dismembered him, divided him into more than a dozen pieces, and forced the people to eat his flesh!"
Yuwen's face turned pale in an instant.
Gao spoke in a very confident way, and he continued: "Not only Gao Chuo, but also many other ministers, civil and military officials, many of whom fell into the hands of Qieizhen, were tortured and tortured to death!"
"Does Your Majesty remember that Yuwen Hu's son was captured by them?"
"Remember.....
"
"Then Your Majesty must not know that he was dismembered by Qi Lizhen Wuma, right?"
Yuwen pursed his lips and said toughly: "I heard from Zu Ban that the King of Han will only harm the people,
Only those who kill countless people will be sentenced to death. Most of the people who are enemies of him will be pardoned. More than half of the ministers of Qi were appointed by him. Those who have no talent will be demoted to white and have not been killed...\n."
"Ha, who is Zu Ban?"
Gao Que retorted unhappily: "Zu Ban is a famous treacherous minister in the world. This man is stolen, greedy, lustful, and treacherous, and has no morality at all! Can Your Majesty believe what such a person says?"
Yuwen suddenly became discouraged.
"Gao Qing, I really can't walk anymore. If I keep going like this, I'm afraid I'll die on the road.::
"Your Majesty, don't say such unlucky words. Your Majesty, when we arrive in Fuling, the big thing will be accomplished. Don't worry, and don't have the idea of ​​surrendering to Liu Taozi.::
Gao Ying comforted him for a long time and then left.
Yuwenzan no longer resisted and started eating the food honestly.
However, he still had a little unwillingness in his eyes.
I am not strong, but I will change if I am strong!!
Gao rode his horse and returned to Yang Jian's side.
After previous negotiations, several people seemed to have obtained a unified idea.
"Duke, can there be any news about the messenger?"
"The road is long and never existed, but when we arrive in Fuling, it should be almost the same."
Yang Jian replied.
They gave up their strategy of continuing to shrink south.
Because according to this strategy, they may be able to delay this year, but they will still die next year, so Gao Ying suggested that they could join forces with Chen Guo.
They chose to move eastward.
Arrive all the way from the east to the territory of Chen State, get help from the Chen State naval army as soon as possible, and then reach the safe zone through water.
As for the future, it is naturally to use the power of Chen State to absorb the remaining strength of Zhou State to resist the powerful enemy together.
This may be a good choice for both parties.
Grow each other.
However, it's not that easy to complete.
Gao Dian proposed to divide the troops, and the group pretended to be the emperor's carriage and continued to follow the original strategy to go south and attract pursuers, while they ran directly to the east with a small army.
The proposal is still useful, at least they have not encountered the pursuers sent by Liu Han for a long time.
Now that things have come, Yang Jian has become open-minded.
"Do you think Mr. Chen can accept us?"
"Chen Suo is not too good to say that he is good, but he is not too stupid to say that he is stupid, he is of the best talent.
This person knows the pros and cons. Liu Taozi is rising now, and his desire for unification has never been concealed. Everyone knows that Chen Xiang will not watch us completely perish. Perhaps he has sent people to send troops from Jiangling, otherwise why hasn't there been any news about Gao Changgong's army so far?"
Yang Jian laughed, "What I said is not this."
Gao Ying was silent for a moment, and then said quietly: "No one in Chen State is available now, so we should make a big deal. "Hahaha."
Yang Jian laughed.
Shu County.
Liu Taozi's army continued to move forward, and when they arrived at Shu County, they finally stopped and slowed down the attack.
As Gao Ying and others expected, there were indeed some problems with Liu Taozi's food and grass.
If you want to move forward, you have to wait for the subsequent supply of food and grass.
Fortunately, Liu Taozi has basically cleared the obstacles. Even when food and grass are short, there is no need to worry about the enemy's counterattack.
Shortly after Liu Taozi entered this place, Hu Luxian's army passed by him. Hu Luxian asked to escort the prisoners to Shu County and deliver them to Liu Taozi. Hu Luxian broke through several large granaries and stored a lot of grain.
Can continue to go south.
The person who came to escort was also an old acquaintance, and he was Dugujie.
Dugu Jie officially met Liu Taozi in the official office.
Then we talked about the many achievements along the way.
"Your Majesty, General Zhenxi asked me to come and ask if I need to supplement the supply of food and grass for the main army:
"
Liu Taozi waved his hand, "No need, let him continue chasing and catch Yuwen earlier."
"only!!"
Dugu Jie paid a visit to him, and then talked about the many prisoners along the way, and asked the soldiers to escort the large prisoners to come to the Heavenly King.
No matter how much the prisoner is, it is not enough for Liu Taozi to take a look. After all, when they defeated Chang'an, they were all numb.
But one of these prisoners attracted Liu Taozi's attention.
Everyone was full of sorrow and knelt in front of him timidly, for fear that he would be executed if he said something wrong. Only one person, his hands and feet were tied up, and even his mouth was blocked. Two soldiers behind him pressed him. Even so, the man still stared at Liu Taozi angrily.
Zu Ban noticed this along Liu Taozi's eyes.
Zu Ban narrowed his eyes and immediately said, "You are defeated, how dare you be rude? Come on, drag this out and kill it!"
Zu Ban looked at the guy and issued an order irritably.
Zu Ban was one of the few people who dared to order in front of Liu Taozi, but the soldiers listened to him, stepped forward and grabbed the man, dragged him back. A trace of sadness flashed in the man's eyes, and then he changed into anger.
"Let's wait."
Liu Taozi spoke.
The soldiers quickly put the person down, and Zu Ban hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this man is rude and glares at him. He deserves to kill him!"
"I see this person, he is quite loyal and righteous, who is this?"
Dugu Jie was stunned and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, this person is called He Ruobi, who is a young general of Zhou. Although his official position is not high, he is extremely brave...
2
Liu Taozi nodded and ordered, "Since he is a warrior, why should he humiliate him? Take what he has in his mouth."
The soldier hurried forward, took out the cloth, and pushed his chin up. He Ruobi opened his mouth to relieve the pain in his chin.
This gagging of the mouth is not to make people bite a cloth piece. It usually makes people lose their chin and then block it with foreign objects, making it impossible to close it. It is a cruel act...
He Ruobi looked up at Liu Taozi, but the anger in his eyes just now disappeared a lot.
When someone just praised you for your loyalty and righteousness, he asked you to speak, and it seems inappropriate to scold him.
Liu Taozi said, "I have heard of you. When your father was murdered by Yuwen Hu, I wanted to send someone to contact you and summon you to your side, but I was one step slower and said that you had already gone to Yuwen Xian."
"Thank you for your kindness!"
"But, I have received the kindness of the country in my life and are quite loyal and righteous. No matter in the past or in the future, I will never change my family!"
Liu Taozi shook her head, "Loyalty and righteousness are big and small."
"I believe that since I raised my troops, the devil has been governed with clear and clear governments, and the marching has not been violated. I have given the land to appease the people,
Have merits and no mistakes.”
"Now I want to unite the world, to spread benevolent governments across the world, to stabilize people's livelihood, to calm the wars, to allow people to live, to work, and to have a basis.::: This is a kind and righteous act, an invincible teacher."
"Since I started to fight, I have won every battle, all because of kindness."
"Loyalty to the country, loyalty to the king, and unchanging integrity is a small righteousness, loyalty to the world and aspiration to the people is a great righteousness."
"If I raise an army, the people will live in poverty and lead the enemy to rob, and you will die for the country, I will not blame you, but now I will be better than Chen Baibi of Zhou, why not put justice first?"
He Ruobi is like Hu Luxian, with a martial arts face, but he reads a lot, not a reckless man like Gao Yanzong.
Liu Taozi's words made him hesitate for a while and didn't know how to refute it.
Liu Taozi continued: "Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the world has been in chaos, wars have spread everywhere, and the people have suffered a lot.
A real man should be in mind the people of the world and achieve great things in the world. I know that General He Ruo is brave and willing to join my devil.
I will use it more to calm the world.”
"I.
He Ruobi raised his head and looked at the king sitting in the upper position.
In terms of heart, the difference between the two identities is still very big. He Ruobi is still very young. If he is in the position of official positions and four destinies, he will probably be considered a sixth rank in Qi State... This is not even qualified to meet the emperor.
But Liu Taozi personally invited him, which gave He Ruobi enough face.
He Ruobi asked, "Can I loosen my rope slightly?
2
Zu Ting signaled that the soldiers let go of him. He Ruobi stood up and looked at Liu Taozi with some confusion.
"Your Majesty, I have something unknown."
"you say."
"Since His Majesty's rebellion invasion of Zhou, countless people have been captured, and there are no shortage of brave and good at fighting. Although I have some force, my reputation is not obvious and my official position is not high. I don't know why I value it so much?"
"The many generals captured by me were trembling and trembling in front of me. Don't say they were looking at each other,
Even if I don’t dare to reply... I dare to look at you, you are the only one. Why, are you willing to follow me?"
He Ruobi took a deep breath and bowed to Liu Taozi.
"If the defeated general is worthy of His Majesty, how dare you not obey it! I will make a contribution to your Majesty!"
"good!"
Chapter completed!
