Your Majesty will suffer

In August, the army of Qiang and Jie initially stormed Weizhou, Daliang lost the first battle, and everyone in the court was panicked!

In September, Shangguan Cuncun, the prefect of Weizhou, was dismissed for his disadvantage in defending against the enemy. The officials tried their best to accept the advice of Du Yunzhi, the envoy of Shaanxi Economic Strategy, and judged Zhang Fangxin to know Weizhou by suppressing the Rong army.

Zhang Fang is a Confucian scholar, but he is courageous and full of strategy!Every battle must be personally supervised by the tower.The Qiang Jie army retreated after attacking the city several times without success, and suffered heavy casualties. The situation of the battle was temporarily reversed.

In November, there is an aversion to cold in the northwest, accompanied by strong winds.Zhang Fang thought that the time had come, so he took advantage of the wind to raid the Qiang Jie camp at night. The enemy was unprepared and caught off guard. This battle was a big victory!Tuoba Wen, the leader of Qiang Jie, fled in embarrassment overnight.

After this round, Qiang Jie lost his troops and lost his generals, and his vitality was greatly injured.I had to temporarily retreat to its place and wait for an opportunity to move again.

Let's say that there is a wave of unrest here, but suddenly there are changes in the northern border: Jin Guoyue secretly sent tens of thousands of troops to the south, and it seems that he intends to take advantage of the fire to loot!

The great victory at Xiguan, the kings and ministers of Liang Liang had not yet had time to rejoice, when they heard the news, they were in a mess again.At present, envoys were sent to check on Emperor Jin's tone, but they returned without success.In fact, Jin Guo stationed troops on his own land, and there was nothing to blame, and there was no change after that, so Daliang had to secretly arrange the frontier preparations for the time being, in case of accidents.

Even though the current situation is uncertain and people's hearts are uneasy, when it comes to the new day, we still need to celebrate.

This time Jin Guo sent his younger brother Xing Wang Heliu to celebrate the New Year on Chongdan, the etiquette remains the same, and it seems that there is no sign of hostility!Just before leaving, he made an unfeeling request. It was ordered to ask for a portrait of Emperor Liang!There was an uproar all over the court, and everyone thought it was impolite, because Prime Minister Lu Zi politely refused, so King Xing had to leave angrily.

In the past year, there has been another controversy between the court and the central government over whether Qiang and Jie should be attacked or prosecuted!

In fact, when Qiang Jie was defeated and retreated, Xia Zhiwang, Zhang Fang and others asked to take advantage of the victory and pursue them. However, Du Yunzhi, the appeasement officer of the Shaanxi Economic Strategy, thought that the Di people were full of tricks, and the Liang army was not prepared enough for battle.As the saying goes, don't chase after the poor, it's better to be cautious, and it's not allowed.Afterwards, Xia Zhiwang said in a memorial that Qiang Jie had been defeated in the previous battle, and his vitality had been weakened. Daliang should quickly form an army and turn defense into offense!

This matter was discussed by the court and the central government, but Qiang Jie once again proclaimed his minister and begged for peace!As a result, the public opinion will be moved.Here, there is no shortage of voices of strong opposition: Du Yunzhi traveled eight hundred miles from Xiguan to rush to the evacuation, counted the previous cases of Qiang Jie's clever deception, and advised tens of thousands not to trust Rong Di's words of begging for peace!The ministers of Xiguan under him are also a voice of agreement.

Yue Ling was momentarily noncommittal.Lu Zi said: "Of course Qiang and Jie should not be trusted, but if peace is promised now, there may be peace for a while, but if not, one must be sure of victory, otherwise, those who lead the battle may be guilty of eternal crimes!" This remark is like a blow to Yue Ling!

Yue Ling pondered for a long time, but said: "What's the point of cherishing peace for three to five days? What I want is a long-lasting peace! It's just this headstrong name, is Mr. Xianggong willing to bear it with me?!"

It's night, and you live in it leisurely.

Nangong Ji frowned lightly: "How did Mr. Lu say that?"

Yue Ling held his cup and smiled: "At the beginning, Wang Sui said something, and it has been through the whole court, but Lu Zi dared to be bold. In an emergency, he is willing to stand up and share the blame for me! I believe this word now."

The big plan has been decided, Yue Ling put down all his worries and thoughts now, and drank happily, he was three points drunk at the moment, and said: "The Western Expedition Qiang Jie, although there are few people in the court who support it, but Lu Zi is the first to second it, That's enough. What I'm worried about right now is that the people of Jin might take the opportunity to make trouble! At this point, I can only hope that Heliu Zongmin has not forgotten my old kindness at the beginning! The other thing is that I will send troops to Qiang Jie. If I can win quickly, He didn't dare to move rashly! And another concern is..." The words stopped abruptly, and he only looked at the person sitting opposite him and smiled faintly.

Nangong Ji knew that, all he wanted was loyalty to Shuzhong!It's just that these two words are easy to say, but they are also divided into high and low: serving the Lord is allegiance, and following the horse's head is also allegiance!But I don't know what he wants? !Thinking about the former is easy to say, as for the latter. . .But Nangong Ji really didn't dare to promise lightly!Because he pondered for a while, he said: "I am of one mind with you, and there is only one master in Sichuan at any time!"

Yue Ling smiled, wondering if he understood the evasion in his words, but he didn't try to force him further.

Having not been alone for a long time, Nan Gongji made up his mind to keep him tonight.Although Yue Ling was drunk, he easily refused to agree, but he wanted to refuse but still greeted him, and even brought up the incident of his previous assassination to provoke him.

Nangongji smiled, pulled him into the courtyard, took an inkstone and threw it out, but there was a muffled sound from where it fell, and the ground seemed to be cracked, followed by another faint sound, and the courtyard returned to silence.

Yue Ling thought his eyes were dazzled, but when he looked carefully, the ground was indeed as smooth as usual, without any cracks, but the inkstone was really lost!

Just being suspicious, the old man Chachu heard the sound and came out to wait and see.

Nangongji smiled and said: "Chu Weng don't need to panic, tonight is just a test of your mechanism!"

The old man said with a smile: "This craft has been idle for many years. I'm afraid it's unfamiliar. The two officials laughed at me." After saying this, he turned around and pulled down the rope hanging in the dark under the eaves.

Yue Ling saw it for real this time: just now, the place where the inkstone fell slowly cracked, and then gradually expanded, revealing a hole deep enough to accommodate two people!

Nan Gongji stroked his palm and said: "Nowadays this courtyard is densely covered with institutions, even if thieves can get in, it's hard to get out."

Yue Ling glanced at the old man Chu, and wondered in his heart: Where did this person come from?

According to Nan Gongji, this old man studied under famous masters when he was young, but unfortunately he was contemptuous and not proficient in serious carpentry work, but he liked some heresy and the art of evading armor, so he was in poverty for the rest of his life.

Yue Ling smiled and said: "That's how it is!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already taught that person to embrace him in his arms: "I've asked what should be asked now, the good night is too short, so don't let it go to waste!"

I think it's true, the good night is short, and it's even more rare to cuddle together. I really don't know when the next time we will meet each other in such a leisurely way after tonight.

While feeling emotional, Yue Ling thought of the rumors he had heard before, and suddenly felt aggrieved, and said: "It is true that a good night is hard, but why have you ever wasted it? I have heard that there are so many beauties in your house, and there are many nights of singing and dancing. Is there such a thing?" ?”

It was originally a joke, but unexpectedly it touched the pain of others.

Nan Gongji's face darkened for a moment, he turned back to the table, poured himself a cup, drank and muttered.After a long while, he said quietly: "All the ministers have already betrayed their relatives, have the officials forgotten?" In the words, he raised his head and stared at the person in front of him: Lu Chaoyun was ordered by him to deal with it, but time has passed, could it be that he doesn't remember it anymore? ?Or, at the beginning, he just said something casually, but taught himself to take it seriously?If so, it would be ridiculous!

Yue Ling suddenly recalled the past, and frowned, but there was no way to save it, and he was speechless for a while.

Hearing the sound of clappers counting from outside, Nangong Ji shook the flagon in his hand, it was already empty.Sigh to myself: good nights are too short, why bother wasting on trivial things!Standing up, he embraced the person who had been standing in front of the window for a long time: "It's getting late, let's rest!"
