Royal road

It's finally time to send troops!After receiving the letter from his brother, Sima Teng jumped up excitedly.He has been waiting for this news since he left Luoyang last year.Originally, the two planned to catch the turtle in the urn, but after Zhang Fang looted the capital, Sima Ying became wary.He first sent his confidantes to control the palace, and before returning to Yecheng, he ordered General Shi Chao to lead [-] soldiers to guard the twelve city gates of Luoyang, and arrested and killed the generals of the forbidden army who opposed him.Afterwards, Shi Chao led the Central Guard Army and stayed in the capital to frighten all officials.

As a result, there is no power to rely on in Luoyang City.Even many princes and ministers rushed to Yecheng to plead guilty to the emperor's younger brother.

Fortunately, the previous cleaning was not thorough.After a few months of silence, Sima Yue contacted General Chen Min of the Right Guard, General Lu Bao, General Cheng Fu, and General Shangguan Si of the Palace Zhonglang, secretly plotting and preparing for an incident.Naturally, this news must be sent to his own brother first.At that time, when it is spread to the world, he will be able to directly send out troops to meet and encircle and suppress the King of Chengdu together!

This is a big deal!As long as this plan is successful, his elder brother can immediately replace Sima Ying and take the emperor to command the princes.Naturally, his status can also rise. He should be a prince, right?

Excitedly walking around the room twice, Sima Teng calmed down a bit, sat back at the desk, and hurriedly wrote a letter.After checking it carefully, he issued an order: "Come here, send this letter to Youzhou and hand it over to Wang Pengzu!"

This Wang Pengzu was none other than Wang Jun, governor of Youzhou.This person is also from the Taiyuan Wang family, but he is not a direct descendant, but the illegitimate son of the former hussar general Wang Chen.Because his father had no heir, he had just inherited the Duke of Boling.Then he moved up step by step and occupied Youzhou for many years.

Although even his father didn't like this son, he was from the Taiyuan Wang family after all. After Wang Hun and Wang Ji's father and son passed away one after another, he was the most powerful pillar of the Taiyuan Wang family.And Taiyuan Kingdom was under the rule of Bingzhou, and the governor of Bingzhou had always been on good terms with Taiyuan Wang, so his relationship with him was naturally close.

With such a level of relationship, even in the matter of seeking rebellion, you must also inform Wang Jun about the news.It just so happened that Wang Jun was originally a member of Empress Jia's party, and Youzhou was located in the back and forth of Sima Ying, so the King of Chengdu was extremely suspicious of him, and sent You Sima and Yan to be the governor of Youzhou, presumably to curb Wang Jun. .

If he heard the news, Wang Jun would cater to him if he said it was not good. At that time, the two of them would send troops from Bing and You, and tens of thousands of troops would come to Yecheng. How could Sima Ying have a chance to fight back?Coupled with brother's arrangement, it is a perfect plan!

In this way, after autumn, it is time to send troops!

"Xiangguo, only Yunzhong and Langmeng have locust plagues, and the other places are relatively safe..."

Liu Xuanchang let out a sigh of relief. This is much better than expected. If a whole field is damaged, the army rations will not be able to be supplied.

"It's so good. You have to keep an eye on other places. If there is a locust plague, you have to grab some grain no matter what. There are also leather materials. You can also sell some when the rice is cheap."

Food is the most important thing now. Fortunately, after entering the customs, the Huns also began to cultivate themselves, otherwise they would not be able to move just by being choked by this hurdle.However, the food on hand is still too little, so they can only wait until after the uprising and rob it from other counties.If you can raise one hundred thousand troops, you will have the capital to fight for the world.

"How's the situation in Yecheng?" Liu Xuan asked again.

The confidant shook his head: "I still have to get away. Recently, the younger brother of King Jin Huang of Chengdu has become more and more suspicious of his officials. It is inconvenient for King Zuo Xian to go out, so I am afraid it will take some time."

This Sima boy!Liu Xuan raised his eyebrows: "I don't care so much anymore. Send someone to clear the Menghuang Gate and see if I can get some advice from him."

Meng Huangmen is Meng Jiu, Sima Ying's most trusted eunuch.It was his credit for being trapped in Erlu's death.If Meng Jiu can get a word of advice, Liu Yuan will be able to escape from Yecheng safely if he is not sure.If this way doesn't work, I'm afraid I have to escape without permission.

It's a pity that Luoyang didn't make trouble again, Liu Xuan tapped the table slowly with his fingertips.If the kings of Sima can cause chaos again, it is the best time for them to raise their troops.Just look at those people, how long can they endure Sima Ying...

"Yingzheng! Another [-] mu of military fields in the west have been reaped." Sweating profusely, Wang Long trotted over.

His original name was Gulong, but a few days ago all Jie people in the camp had to change their Han surnames, and he couldn't figure out what to call his own family, so he chose a surname that was pleasing to the eye and used it.This really worked, even the mother-in-law at home liked him a little bit, and said that he would have a baby early and send him to the house to go to school.

Whether he can go to school or not, Wang Long doesn't care at all, but the military field at home is fundamental, and he can't neglect it at all.On weekdays, he can still let his family take care of the farming, but when it comes to the summer harvest, he can't sit still.If it rains, the good food will suffer!

Thanks to Master Lang's understanding, they are no longer forced to practice these days, but sent all the people out to harvest the military fields.The method is also quite particular, not to collect each one, but to push the teams along the field ridges.With such an arrangement, many soldiers may not be able to rank in the front of the military field, and the workers are even more afraid to neglect. They can only fight for more work every day, so as to harvest their own summer grain as soon as possible.

Wang Long doesn't know what other people think, but this idea is the best for him.He is the leader of the team, and there are already many army fields, and he can't grab them all by himself no matter what.In this way, hundreds of people harvest together, and the fields can be harvested in a short time. How can people not be happy!

"Rest for a quarter of an hour!" Yi Yan straightened up, grabbed the shirt on his body, and wiped his face.

Even if it wasn't noon, the weather was terribly hot, and there was hardly any dry place in his body.A lot of sweat slid down the chest, reflecting the vigorous skin of the body, as if a layer of oil had been applied.But Yiyan didn't care about the sweat on his body, but rubbed his back casually.Harvesting grain is not like the usual practice, you have to bow your head and bend over. At the end of the day, there is no pain anywhere in your body, and your hands are hot and blistered. It is actually a bit more painful than training.

But including him, no one in the camp complained.What they reaped were all their own and Paoze's fields, which were real private property of military exploits.This is all in exchange for hard work, who can support a family of old and young, wives, children, parents' treasures, who would begrudge the effort?So no matter how tight the urging is, there will be no emotions below.

The crowd huddled in the shade under the tree, drinking water and panting, like cattle that had been plowing the land for a day.Unexpectedly, before he could rest, Yiyan stood up again, and said loudly: "Continue to work, this hundred acres of land will be harvested in the morning!"

There is more work to be done in the afternoon.The soldiers did not dare to slack off, they got up and walked towards the distant fields.Yiyan raised his head and glanced at the sky.Fortunately, it was still cloudless.I just hope that the weather will change after all the grain in the field is harvested.

The summer harvest lasted for half a month, and then the oxen entered the fields and began plowing the fields to plant autumn grain.It seems that the timing is right, when the new grain enters the warehouse and the field is sown, the weather changes.A shower came with the wind.

Liang Feng was wearing a single shirt, sitting on the porch, looking at the heavy rain outside, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, it was harvested in time."

If it is a few days later, I am afraid that I will not have such good luck.Looking up at the young man with two dark spots beside him, he said with a smile: "Thank you for this rush harvest. Give Buqu a three-day holiday and take a little rest."

Yiyan is no longer fair-skinned now, his whole body is tanned to light brown.Only those eyes looked bluer.Seeing Liang Feng's soothing smile, the long-term exhaustion seemed to disappear from his body.After carefully imprinting that figure in his eyes, he said: "Some people have ulcers on their hands, and Dr. Jiang said that they need to take medicine. These people may have to rest for another two days."

"Did the blisters not be dealt with in time?" Liang Feng raised his eyebrows and asked suddenly, "How is your hand?"

"The subordinates are fine."

Liang Feng didn't believe his words: "Let me see."

Yiyan just hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his palm.Liang Feng didn't care, he grabbed it and examined it carefully.I saw a lot of scratches, dry blisters, and some blood stasis on the thick callus.Fortunately, there were no more serious injuries.

With a sigh of relief, he said, "It's fine as long as it's okay. Those who are injured should be treated as soon as possible. If it's hot today, there's no delay."

Seeing the slender, tender, slender fingers slipping away from his palm, Yiyan almost didn't recover.After a while, he nodded.

In the air, cyan lightning tore through the dark clouds, and thunder rumbled again.Liang Feng's attention was attracted, he frowned slightly and said, "Don't stop the rain..."

In the palace city, there was a chaotic sound, there were swords and guns intersecting, and there were exclamations.But soon, these voices disappeared.

A group of armored soldiers pushed open the palace gate and broke in.The leader walked quickly to the dragon bed: "Your Majesty, I'm here to save you!"

Huddled in a corner, the disheveled middle-aged man stammered and asked, "Sikong, why do you want to save me?"

No one hurt him?He was obviously sleeping, so why did they break into the room and say they wanted to rescue him?

The corner of Sima Yue's mouth twitched, but he had long been used to the appearance of the emperor, and he didn't show any disrespect, but said softly: "The king of Chengdu made chaos, abolished the queen, demoted the prince, and brought chaos to the order. If things go on like this, the world will be in danger." Hey! That's why I led my troops here, and I invite Your Majesty to personally march, and I will accompany you to attack the rebellious minister..."

"Personal conquest?" Trembling all over, the middle-aged man shook his head violently, "I don't want to go to the conquest, you just fight on your own. I won't go!"

When the arrow is on the string, how can we retreat?Sima Yue didn't care what the Holy Son of Heaven said, he straightened up and said loudly: "Come here, change your majesty's clothes! Invite three officials and one hundred bureaucrats into the palace for discussion!"

A group of eunuchs and court ladies hurried forward to change the crown for the still sleepy emperor.Sima Yue looked at the reluctant man with a slight smile on his lips.

As long as the emperor personally conquers, other princes will naturally obey orders.With righteousness and a strong army, he wants to see how Sima Ying, who is in Yecheng, will face Wang Shi Yujia!
