lonely king

The next day, Yu Wenyang woke up, not as crazy as before, but the news of King Beiyan's death made him feel like a sharp knife. He never thought that a push that day would lead to the current situation. The king died before his eyes.

Yu Wenyang was full of resentment and anger, he had already killed the people in Zangshuge, but he still couldn’t let go of his anger, he didn’t know where to relieve the fire in his heart, and who to complain about the pain in his heart, so he could only run to Zangshuge again, and took Zhongyan’s body Hugged tightly in his arms, Tiehan burst into tears, unable to calm down for a long time.

The king is dead, and a funeral should have been held for him, but Yu Wenyang never wanted to admit that Zhongyan was dead in his own heart. He didn't want to recognize this fact, and Sui Yi, after Baili Nian's warning, blocked the death of King Beiyan. Thinking about the current situation, he didn't dare to propose that Yu Wenyang should bury Zhongyan, and Zhongyan's body stopped in Zangshu Pavilion for a while.

Someone who wanted to flatter Yu Wenyang specially found an ice coffin and sent it to Yu Wenyang. The ice coffin can guarantee that the body will not rot. It's not like he's dead.

Yu Wenyang guarded Zhong Yan's body, feeling very depressed.Bei Yan had no successor, and because Sui Yi blocked the news, some courtiers didn't know that Zhong Yan was dead, but Bei Yan hadn't been in court for many days, it was chaotic, and the palace was full of Yuwenyu people. complex.Everyone knew this was unreasonable, but no one dared to speak, and no one asked.

Although people from other countries are also curious, but because they are far away and the news is blocked, they are just curious and can't understand it.There is also a person like Gongsun Zhi who sent an informant to Beiyan, but was blocked and killed by Yu Wenyang's people.

For a moment, Bei Yan fell into a deadlocked situation, and no one could solve it.

Until Baili Nian sent someone to bring the Nanming informant to Yu Wenyang's eyes.

The man was locked in the cell on the night of Zhong Yan's death, and sent to Yu Wenyang. After he understood the cause and effect, he was furious. Catch, it's Nanming's informant again, Yu Wenyang, who already had the heart to attack Nanming, even has a murderous intention, and no one can stop him at this time, so he will immediately equip his army and go to destroy Nanming!

When the news reached Baili Nian's ears, he just nodded lightly, not surprised.

……

At the end of May, spring had long passed, and between the summer and summer seasons, it was the hottest time. Bei Yan didn't even have a chance to send troops, so he suddenly sent troops to Nanming.Yu Wenyang personally led the army horses, Sui Yi was a general, and Baili Nian also went south with the army. Although he was not named as a military adviser, everyone in the army knew that he must be the one who planned the southward march to Nanming.

The army had reached the Baiji River, and Nanming was in a state of panic. It had only been more than a year since the last time the Three Kingdoms encircled and suppressed Nanming, and Nanming had not been able to calm down at all. At this time, the Nanming palace was in chaos. His face was serious, and his heart was impatient.

"Zhang Aiqing, there is really no reason for Beiyan to send troops to my Nanming this time. My king handed over the repaired credential to King Beiyan two months ago. It hasn't been long. Why did I send troops to Nanming without making a sound!" Gongsun Zhi was a little anxious.

Zhang You pursed his thin lips and frowned. He was also thinking about why Nanming sent troops suddenly. He just thought about it for a long time, but he didn't have a reasonable answer.

Zhang You: "Since King Beiyan and His Majesty have already repaired the national documents, there should be no sending troops. Although King Beiyan is the new king, he is too cautious in his actions, but he is not tearing them up casually. The person in the contract, I really can't figure it out, why did Beiyan suddenly attack me, Nanming?"

Gongsun Zhi waved his hand, as if seeing through the ugliness of human nature. He has always been suspicious, and he is full of suspicion of the courtiers around him, let alone the monarch of the enemy country. That's all.

"In today's world, there is no trust in the contract. Beiyan Wang Zhongyan is just a hypocritical villain. Maybe the repair of the national book is just a cover, just to let the king relax his vigilance, so that he can send troops to take down my Nanming in one fell swoop. !"

Zhang You frowned, and glanced at Gongsun Zhi. He knew Gongsun Zhi's temperament very well, and he would be suspicious whenever something happened. Zhang You was used to it, so he didn't bother to argue with Gongsun Zhi.He didn't think that Zhong Yan was such a villain in his heart, but he couldn't guess Beiyan's dispatch of troops, but he didn't know that the dispatch of troops this time was not Zhong Yan's intention, so Zhang You naturally couldn't guess it.

Gongsun Zhi: "It's just that now, Beiyan's army has arrived at Baijijiang, and Yu Wenyang is leading the army again, with a threatening aura, and I, Nanming, have not eased up from the last battle, and the number of soldiers and horses that can be dispatched now is only 20. What about the 50 troops resisting Beiyan! If Yu Wenyang led his troops across the Baiji River, wouldn't my Nanming be crumbling!"

Gongsun Zhi was extremely anxious. First, Beiyan's dispatch of troops was too sudden and completely out of his expectation. Second, Beiyan's dispatch of troops this time was threatening. Yu Wenyang's posture was bound to take down Nanming. After the siege of the Three Kingdoms, Gongsun Zhi felt a bit timid about the war in his heart, and now he has lost the arrogance of the previous overlord.

Nanming no longer had the confidence to let Gongsun be domineering.

"Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry. You must not lose your position at this time, and you have to think carefully about it." Zhang You said calmly, but his brows were always furrowed, and his inner anxiety was no less than that of Gongsun Zhi.

Gongsun Zhi glanced at Zhang You, and lightly stroked his shoulder with his hand, "Fortunately, Aiqing is still by my side, and my heart is more at ease. Although Beiyan is sending troops and I am Nanming, there is still Bai Jijiang in the way." , I still remember what Ai Qing said to me last time, that Bei Yan is a landlubber, and it is not easy to cross the river, so I will send [-] sailors to station on the south bank of the Baiji River for now."

People from Beiyan are not good at water warfare. This is what Zhang You said to Gongsun Zhi last time. At that time, Gongsun Zhi didn't believe it, but later he let him believe it. At this time, Zhang You is still there, so he feels a little more at ease.But Zhang You next to him frowned.

He glanced out the window. Between the summer and summer seasons, the sun was shining brightly, and it was a bit hot, and it was no longer the cold winter months before.Yu Wenyang is no longer trying water warfare for the first time, now and then, can Bai Jijiang stop him?Zhang You was a little worried.

"Your Majesty, don't be careless. It's not like the severe winter, and it's windy. Crossing the river is much easier than last time. What's more, Yu Wenyang failed to cross the Baiji River last time. He must have explored the Baiji River in his heart, and now he is stationed again. By the Baiji River, if he didn't have the slightest confidence in crossing the river, how could he be stationed by the Baiji River again."

Zhang You's words are very reasonable, Yu Wenyang's willingness to re-garrison the soldiers and horses by the Baiji River must be clear in his heart, and he must not be compared with the last time.Gongsun Zhi was not a fool, Zhang You said a little, and he understood the power of it, and immediately frowned.

If so, wouldn't Nanming's situation be even more difficult!

"Then... Then, what should I do at this time?" Gongsun Zhi became anxious again, with a little bit of panic.

Zhang You also frowned, "If General Cao's family is here, they can still resist for a while, but now that General Cao has died of illness, there is no general in Nanming who can lead troops to fight, and the enemy is like a wolf." Tiger's Yuwen army." Zhang You let out a long sigh.

"It's really not easy to keep Nanming, and you really have to think about it."

The last time the Three Kingdoms encircled and suppressed Nanming, General Xiao Cao was still alive, but in the end, Gongsun Zhi failed to activate him.General Xiao Cao, who was in prison, learned that Nanming was defeated and thousands of miles of land were handed over to other countries. He was so angry that he vomited three mouthfuls of blood, depressed, and finally died of illness in prison.

Before General Xiao Cao died, Zhang You visited him in the dungeon, and tried his best to persuade him to cherish his body, and he would be used by the king in the future, but General Cao hated him deeply, and the Cao family was loyal and courageous, but Suspected by the king so far, full of aggrieved and resentful, how can he survive.

This matter is a pain in Zhang You's heart, and he can also resent Gongsun Zhi for this matter, but as a subject, especially Zhang You, once he follows a king, he will definitely devote himself to death, even if he sees through Gongsun Zhi's character , will always follow him, and will never find another master.

Hearing Zhang You's words, Gongsun Zhi frowned, a little displeased. He hated Zhang You mentioning the Cao family's affairs the most, but this Zhang You liked to mention it the most, which made Gongsun Zhi embarrassed and displeased.

"Okay, it's up to now, what to do with those things, it's better to quickly think about the things in front of you, Beiyan's army is stationed by the Baiji River, maybe they will cross the river at any time, but my soldiers and horses from Nanming are hard to resist. If, as Ai Qing said, Bai Jijiang cannot resist Yu Wenyang, wouldn't there be less time left for me and Nanming, what should I do?" Gongsun Zhi frowned tightly.

Zhang You looked at the blueprints on the table, frowning tightly. He looked back and forth for a long time, trying to come up with an excellent countermeasure, but it was difficult for Zhang You to be such a clever person. As for the countermeasure, he and Gongsun Zhi looked at the drawing for a whole night, and it was not until the next day that he suddenly thought of an idea.

Zhang You: "Your Majesty, I have thought of a way."

Gongsun Zhi showed joy, and grabbed his wrist, "Ai Qing, tell me quickly."

Zhang You pointed to the border between Nanming and Xizhao on the drawing, and raised his eyes, "Your Majesty, look, after crossing the Baiji River, from Nanming to the west, where is this?"

"Xizhao, Xizhao borders Nanming. If you cross the Baiji River and go west, you will find Xizhao within a short distance. Xizhao used to be a vassal state of my Nanming, and it is the closest." Gongsun Zhi didn't even think about it. He replied, as the lord of Nanming, how could he not be clear about the boundaries of Nanming.

Zhang You nodded, his eyebrows raised slightly, "The border between Nanming and Beiyan used to be a barren land, but now it is Baijijiang, and there are no cities and towns. Xizhao is different from Beiyan. Our Nanming and Xizhao The border is between two prosperous cities, and there are many villages and farmers between the two cities. The people of the two countries at the border have a lot of exchanges. Think about it, my lord. Where will the people of Nanming flee to?"

Gongsun Zhi raised his eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "Then he must have fled to Xizhao."

"Yes, if there is a war in Nanming, then my people in Nanming will definitely flee to Xizhao, and a large number of refugees will flood into Xizhao at that time."

Zhang You spoke meaningfully, but Gongsun Zhi didn't understand what he meant, he looked down at the drawing again, still puzzled, so he asked Zhang You again.

Gongsun Zhi: "Aiqing, what is the meaning of this? Is there any connection between the refugees fleeing to Xizhao and Beiyan's crime against me in Nanming?"

Zhang You smiled slightly, "If a large number of refugees flood into Xizhao, it will definitely cause chaos in the territory of Xizhao. Refugees are easy to cause trouble. These refugees will definitely be a big headache for King Xizhao. He certainly doesn't want to cause trouble. This matter. And if my Nanming is destroyed, with Yu Wenyang's brutality, even if King Xizhao doesn't open the city gates to let refugees in, countless refugees will pour in, and King Xizhao definitely doesn't want this to happen."

"If I go to Xizhao at this time, explain the matter to the king of Xizhao, and invite him to help Nanming with generous gifts, the king will say, will the king of Xizhao agree to help us with Yu Beiyan?" Zhang You looked at To Gongsun Zhi.

Gongsun Zhi lowered his head and thought for a while, but his brows were still frowning, and he shook his head, not having much confidence in Zhang You's idea.

"Not to mention that King Xizhao, Yue Wei, has a hatred for killing his father with this king. Even now, with Beiyan's army horses and Yuwenyang's thunderous momentum, Xizhao would dare to provoke Beiyan, not to mention that Xizhao has always been with Beiyan. Yan is friends, so how can I help Nanming and defend Beiyan together?"

Hearing Gongsun Zhi's concerns, Zhang You laughed, "Your Majesty, you also think Yue Yu is too small-minded. Although he is a young man who is a king, he has the world in mind and has the idea of ​​fighting for the world. If Bei Yan captured my Nanming, then Beiyan's family really dominates the world today, and by then, Xizhao and the rising star Qiang Zhu will not be able to resist Beiyan, then Beiyan has the ambition to unify the world Potential."

"How can Yue Wei, who is trying to fight for the world, make this happen? He still wants the world, and he will never let Beiyan's family dominate. The king said, is it because of his personal hatred for killing his father, or because of this?" The world is heavy?" Zhang Youqiao laughed, "Whether it is about the affairs of the world, or whether Nanming and Xizhao are close neighbors, he will definitely send troops to help when he gets worse."

Zhang You suddenly knelt down and made a big salute, "Your Majesty, I am a humble minister, but I am willing to go to Xizhao as an envoy, lobbying the king of Xizhao, so that I can save the soldiers and resist Beiyan!"

Gongsun Zhi looked at Zhang You on the ground, and couldn't help but smile, a smile of knowing satisfaction. With Zhang You in Nanming, he, Gongsun Zhi, was really at ease. Every word he said was in Gongsun Zhi's heart, so what could he do? Zhang You will not be allowed.

Gongsun Zhi bent down, helped Zhang You up with his own hands, and held his hands tightly with both hands, showing a gratified smile.

"Why would this king not allow you? Zhang Aiqing is really my lucky star. I dare not even think about what to do without you."

Zhang You smiled in embarrassment, being praised by the king, he couldn't help being a little bit ashamed, and hurriedly waved his hands, "The king has broken his humble minister, and the humble minister has been a minister of Nanming for a day, and he will devote himself to protecting Nanming loyally. "

Gongsun Zhi looked at Zhang You, and Zhang You looked at Gongsun Zhi. There had never been such a connection between the monarch and his ministers. Their hands were tightly clasped, and there were tears in their eyes for a while.For some reason, Zhang You looked at Gongsun Zhi in front of him, and there was always a complicated feeling in his heart, as if he couldn't see each other again, maybe it was Bei Yan who committed the crime, and his mind was a little confused.

Zhang You thought to himself.
