Fight for hegemony from a desert island

Chapter 479 Xun Yu

On July [-]th of the first year of Taiping, the third day after Ningcheng was broken.

Due to the lag in news transmission, from this day on, Changshe began to receive one bad news after another.

First, the city of Ningcheng was broken, Lu Junyi died in battle, Lu Zhishen and other Liangshan generals rebelled against the enemy, and 10,000+ Song troops were wiped out.

Zhao Kuangyin hadn't reacted to the bad news yet, and soon after, news came from Sui, Chu, and Ming successively.

It was a coincidence that the three parties encountered an accident almost at the same time. The troops sent by the Great Sui Dynasty and the Great Chu Dynasty were not bad, but they couldn't reach Yuzhou in time because of some troubles. Depending on the situation, it will take at least half a month for them to enter Yuzhou.

And it was even worse on Daming's side. After Daming's army walked out of Xuzhou, it was ambushed immediately.

The 20 troops of the Ming Dynasty lost nearly half of their food and supplies after an ambush, and were completely burned during the battle. They had no choice but to retreat. As for when they will be able to help, it is hard to say.

In other words, within half a month at the shortest, there is no need for any assistance from Da Song's side.

These two news alone are already a considerable blow to Da Song today.

What Zhao Kuangyin didn't expect was that soon there was news from Huang Chao that made him want to kill that bastard with his own hands.

On Huang Chao's side, after taking down Ningcheng, the brutal massacre immediately began.

After taking down Ningcheng, Huang Chao really let his rebel army let go and kill them. In the past three days, within a hundred miles of Ningcheng, blood really flowed into rivers and turned into a purgatory on earth.

In just three days, the whole of Ningcheng, including a radius of a hundred miles outside of Ningcheng, was affected, and their massacre was still spreading in the direction of Changshe.

It is conservatively estimated that during these three days, at least millions of people were killed and millions of people were displaced. At the same time, hundreds of thousands of people joined Huang Chao's rebellious army, which greatly strengthened the strength of Huang Chao's army .

All the people Huang Chao killed were Zhao Kuangyin's subjects. You said, how could Zhao Kuangyin not be angry when he heard such news, not to mention that Huang Chao's rebellious army had obviously improved their strength in the killing, and became more dangerous and terrifying, making people If they go on like this and wait for a legion to kill Changsha, then their army is estimated to be 200 million or more!
Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin stopped the army of Di Qing who was rushing back on the spot, and gave Di Qing an order, no matter whether there were reinforcements or not, no matter what, no matter what, the chaotic army must be suppressed, and absolutely must not be let in. This tragedy happened again.

……

Sili, Luoyang!
While Zhao Kuangyin ran away with bad news constantly in Da Song, Cao An was not having a good time at this time.

Anyone who has met Cao An will have a deep impression on him. Although he is a little short in stature and has a hint of stern facial features, people will subconsciously stare at him as a cruel man when they first see him. Tag of.

However, few people know that Cao An's heart is not cruel, even very soft, so soft that when he heard the news of Huang Chao's massacre in Yuzhou, he burst into tears.

The reason he cries is because it was all planned by him.

It was he who lured the villains in the Bailian Chamber of Commerce to the stage through Huang Chao, and it was he who used Huang Chao and others to hold back the elite of Song Dynasty.

Everything basically went according to his plan. The villains of the Bailian Chamber of Commerce appeared on the stage, and the elites of Song Dynasty were indeed pulled over.

The Ningcheng faction was broken, Lu Junyi died, and even Di Qing, who was about to reach the Changshe, had to go back to resist Huang Chao's army.

However, Cao An missed one point. He overestimated his control over the Bailian Chamber of Commerce, and failed to see Huang Chao's ferocity. He had no idea that Huang Chao would launch a massacre after taking down Ningcheng.

That's why when the news came, he locked himself in his study and cried loudly.

What Cao An didn't know was that when he locked himself in his study and wept, there were two people standing outside his study.

Of these two people, one is Cao An's right-hand man Xun Yu, and the other is a pale young scholar with a hint of frivolity on his body.

"I didn't understand before that he was just an ordinary person. His wisdom, experience and even his ideals were all borrowed and incomplete. Why did you choose to assist him?" The young man sighed and turned his head away. His eyes were on Xun Yu's face.

"Now I understand that he has inherited those experiences and incomplete ideals without excessive ambitions, but still has kindness and softness, and he perfectly fits the image in your heart."

"But what I want to say is that you may have forgotten one thing. He is fake, everything about him is fake, and everything about him is borrowed. No matter what is fake, what is fake cannot become real. Sooner or later he It will disappear one day. What you are doing now is holding a false puppet and dreaming the most false and craziest dreams.

One day he will disappear, and your dreams with him will be shattered, and then you will be smashed to pieces! "

After the young man finished speaking, he looked at Xun Yu who still didn't respond to him in the slightest, shook his head, covered his coughing mouth, and left directly.

As for Xun Yu, from the beginning to the end, Xun Yu never glanced at the young man. His eyes were always in the study, and he was waiting for the person in the study to come out.

And Cao An didn't keep him waiting, 10 minutes later, the crying in the study was heard, and 10 minutes later, the door of that study was opened, and Cao An came out from the study.

At this time, Cao An had already packed up his emotions, at least on his body, there was no trace of him crying out loud at all.

Cao An saw that Xun Yu, who was waiting for him outside the study, didn't have any embarrassment on his face, and even showed a bright smile: "Let's go, let's deal with what we have to deal with."

With that said, Cao An strode out of the study, and Xun Yu automatically followed Cao An the moment Cao An walked out.

Compared with Cao An, Xun Yu is much taller and looks much more handsome. However, when these two people walk together, they always give people a feeling of harmony, as if they should be together.

"By the way, after our plan is over, let's add another plan to get rid of Huang Chao. Sure enough, even if it is to revive Dazhou, I still can't bear to be with such a person."

Hearing what Cao An who was walking in front suddenly said, Xun Yu behind him was slightly taken aback, and then a gentle and contagious smile appeared on his face: "Yes!"
