Emperor Son Sang gl

Luoguan City.

The garrison general in the city is Weifu Yamen.

"General Shi, the battle of Luoguan City is very important now. I came here by the emperor's order, and I came here to ask that this battle must be fought with all our strength, and there must be no mistakes."

Inside the government office, Shi Jian, the guard of Luoguan City, is entertaining Yan Fangrong, the censor of the capital.

Before Shi Jian got the important job, he was a subordinate of Ning Guo Gong Yan Tianming; he has always been in close contact with the Yan family, so he can be regarded as a close friend of the Yan family; but now Yan Tianming specially recommended his son to go there, one is to give his son the opportunity The second is to appease Shi Jian's heart, and consider it from the Yan family's perspective.

"My lord, my subordinates naturally know what Duke Ning is thinking. It is expected that the Haigu army will not be very powerful after recuperating for many years; the so-called hundreds of thousands of troops are just making a fuss based on Fuyan's name. Let's make trouble." Shi Jian poured a glass of wine to pay respects to Yan Fangrong: "Besides, the so-called Zi Sang Yu is only a young man, so it seems that he has no plans."

When Yan Fangrong heard Zi Sang Yu's name, she immediately lowered her face.

Thinking about the past, this son Sang Yu can still be regarded as his enemy.At that time, he was passionately thinking about marrying the princess and becoming the son-in-law that everyone envied. Unexpectedly, a young hero came out from Chunshou and took away the love in his heart for no reason.Since then, every time I saw that person, I seemed to have been insulted in every possible way, and I felt unbearable regret in my heart.

After the accident, I went to the princess mansion several times, but was stopped; looking at it from a distance, the princess's complexion seemed to be much worse than before, and she felt pain in her heart, hating that villain for being shameless.Fortunately, during that period of time, the princess never gave birth to a man and a half woman for that little man. If he still had his flesh and blood, it would... really be an eyesore!

"Bah, I knew this untouchable is not a good thing." Yan Fangrong was angry, "I don't know what kind of blessings he cultivated in his life back then, but he married the princess away; it's nothing more than taking advantage of it, but now he dares to openly Confront Daning! If the general understands what I mean, he should be dealt with!"

"From the point of view of my subordinates, the status of this orphan may not be true. Who knew that Zisang's lineage had all died out during the Mingyang change? Now, for no reason, a son-in-law has become an orphan of the previous dynasty. How many entanglements are there? Gongsun Zheng's pride actually started a war with such a name."

Yan Fangrong pondered for a while, and then asked: "The general is confident in defending the city?"

No one cares about people's real status. How many people believed Sang Yu's words of the emperor when he made such a big commotion in Jiangnan that day?What's more, most of the people are nostalgic for the old life in Dayan, and now it is understandable to work hard for such a natural young master.As for some people who don't believe it in the future, it is enough to deify the way of the emperor; now, looking at Shi Jian, it seems that he underestimates the enemy, and I am afraid that this battle will be dangerous.

"My lord, are you worried about your subordinates?" Shi Jian smiled and poured himself a glass of wine.

Yan Fangrong smiled and did not answer.

The two were silent for a long time.

"Young master, don't worry. I have tens of thousands of troops in Luoguan City, plus the [-] Jiangzhou soldiers dispatched by the emperor, it is still possible to guard a small Luoguan City." Shi Jian really looked down on Yanjun in his heart. .Although the bravery of Gongsun Zheng is famous for his toughness in the previous dynasty, but it has been many years, so it is not necessarily difficult to deal with.

"If the general really wants me to rest assured, he has to take action." Yan Fangrong put down his wine glass and glanced at the moonlight in the sky: "It's getting late now, and I will tell the general what I should tell you. The rest will be up to you." The general decides for himself."

"My lord, please reply to Duke Ning, Shi Jian will live up to his entrustment."

Yan Fangrong stayed in the post station for a day, and returned to the capital with his men the next day.In the Luoguan Battlefield, the battle was on the verge of breaking out. Yan Tianming had also explained that after seeing Shi Jian, he returned to Beijing immediately without delay. If something went wrong in the Luoguan Battle, it would be bad to be implicated.

As soon as Shi Jian sent Yan Fangrong out of the city, someone from the other end came to report.

"General! The general is not good! Yan Jun has already beat the drums on the other side of the river and declared war on our army!"

"What?!" He really didn't mention which pot to open and which pot to turn on, and at this juncture, troops were actually sent out.Shi Jian was disturbed by the sudden news, and immediately got on his horse and went down to the river bank.

As soon as he arrived at the defense line on the river bank, Shi Jian hurriedly followed his subordinates to the bunker before he had time to drink a sip of tea. Standing on a high place and looking at the river, indeed, there was only a crowd of people on the opposite side of the river, and the sound of war drums was deafening. Accompanied by a sound of shouting, people can't help but startled.

The subordinate next to him glanced at Shi Jian quietly, and said softly, "General, what should we do now?"

"Water warfare is the strength of the Haigu army, but this first battle is very important. Why is the Yan army so unafraid?" Anyway, Shi Jian also had a period of experience in marching and fighting. Although he was panicked before, he was slow. Slowly, he calmed down, and gradually saw some clues. "It's just that if the start of the war is false, what is their actual purpose?"

Shi Jian couldn't think of this point.

"General, I think that son Sang Yu couldn't hold back his temper and wanted to win, so he went into battle rashly. Who knows that Haigu's army is good at water warfare? He must have thought of this, so he let go of Haigu's hand. Army, don’t you know that his current Yan army is only half of the Haigu army, and the rest have never experienced water battles.” The subordinate next to Shi Jian stood beside him and began to chatter: “Subordinates, look Come on, this battle is real."

Shi Jian was still hesitating, staring at Jiang Mian in a daze.

"Report—" Suddenly, a soldier dived back from the river, wiped the water off his face and rushed to the bank.Shi Jian frowned, and shouted: "How about the information? Can you see who is leading the battle?"

"The person leading the battle is Gongsun Zheng's subordinate, Gu Tang!" the soldier reported.

"Gu Tang!" Shi Jian gasped.Speaking of Gu Tang, all generals with certain qualifications must be familiar with it.In the past, he went out with Gongsunzheng to crusade, and achieved a lot of battles; Emperor Yan of the former dynasty also gave an evaluation: young, brave and not inferior to Xuezheng.One can imagine how famous Gu Tang's name is.Now that the first battle was actually led by Gu Tang himself, it seems that it does have some weight... Shi Jian silently had an idea in his heart.

The subordinate who was standing aside looked at the expression on Shi Jian's face, hesitated for a moment, and said in a panic: "General, if you don't send troops, it will be too late. When Gu Tang leads the troops, Luoguan City will not be able to defend." Stop it. General please make a quick decision!"

"Hey——" Shi Jian gritted his teeth, and still made up his mind:

"The whole army obeyed the order, 3 soldiers defended the city, the remaining 8 soldiers defended the river bank area, and [-] soldiers prepared guns, bows and ammunition. Immediately set sail to conquer Yanjun!"

"Yes!"

With an order, the battalion here also beat the drums and sounded the horns accordingly.For a while, the river was filled with the sound of drums and horns, and people couldn't help but feel excited when they heard it!The first battle of the re-extension finally started today!

Gu Tang on the opposite side of the river smiled slightly when he heard the sound of the drum.

"Notify General Zhao that Shi Jian has already accepted the challenge, so let him quickly lead the troops across the river."

"Yes, General."

-------------------------------

Fighting water is like a war of attrition.

The two sides lined up boats on the water to a stalemate, all relying on ammunition and artillery fire to see, or even relying on bows and crossbows with good long-range performance.During the period, some people might set up small boats to confront each other in private, but it was not easy to use. To put it bluntly, it was always up to which side to crush the opposing fleet first.

Fire battle, no way.Today the river is very foggy and it is still raining lightly, so the fire cannot be lighted.Although the warships of the Haigu army have always been strong, but if the battle continues for a long time, when the Yan army is short and makes up for the vacancies, Luoguan City may be able to win.Shi Jian sat leisurely in the government office, thinking that once he defeated the Yan army, he would be a great hero in this battle!Haha, I don't need to see the face of the Yan family in the future, my Shi family is half the sky of Daning!

The more I think about it, the better it feels.

Shi Jian was in a happy mood, and called his subordinates who had been by his side all the time: "How is the battle going, are the two armies still confronting each other?"

"Reporting to the general, the soldiers came to report just now, and the two armies are indeed still in a stalemate. In the middle of the battle, our army was almost shot down by a ship by the Yan army, but luckily it was all right." The subordinate sighed softly.

Shi Jian snorted, and his face suddenly turned bad: "The general said, Gu Tang is not a small character, you must not deal with it carelessly, you know? Quickly tell the people on the Jiang'an side, tell the lieutenant general, this battle will be fatal no matter what. You have to hold on to me, if you don't consume Yanjun to death, you will never end with them!"

"My subordinate understands."

Shi Jian muttered a few more words, felt tired, and went back to his room to rest.This war of attrition is estimated to take another four or five days, so let's recharge our energy first.

That night, the battle on the river was a little exhausting, and both sides called for Jin to retreat, indicating that they would fight again the next day.On the other side, the Luoguan city gate opened quietly in the middle of the night, and several groups of people entered with a rustle.At the third watch, the area around Luoguan City gradually calmed down, and the whole city fell asleep with the moonlight.

Early the next morning, as soon as Shi Jian opened his eyes, he saw several soldiers in Yanjun uniform standing beside his bed, pointing their spears at him.

"You...you..." Shi Jian couldn't react for a while, still panicking.The soldiers took Shi Jian out of the main hall of the mansion, only to find out that except for Shi Jian, everyone in the Shi family was tied up, dozens of people, old and young.Shi Jian turned his head and looked at the gate of the government office, but saw that the Dayan flag had been replaced on the eaves of the gate!

"You... am I dreaming?"

Impossible, impossible.It was just said yesterday that Yanjun sent people to fight. Why did Luoguan City look like the sky changed overnight?Even if the water battle is defeated, the Yan army will never come here at such a speed!

"You are not dreaming." A clear voice sounded behind him, and Shi Jian turned his head, startled.

The boy behind him was wearing a soaring plume and silver armor, and his shiny scales swayed with his steps.Under the armor was a scarlet cotton gown, which was extremely expensive when the young man had red lips and white teeth.Although Shi Jian had heard that Zi Sang Yu was born noble, he never cared much about it; but when he saw him today, he only had one thought in his mind: If this person is not a child of Zi Sang's family, who else could he be?

In a daze, he couldn't help but knelt down.

Zi Sang Yu grinned, but his feet in military boots did not move half a step.

"Shi Jian—willing to surrender..." A very soft voice seemed to come from the ground, but the people around heard it innocently.Shi Jian's family members were still huddled on one side, looking at the Yanjun who was full of yards at a loss.

After the hour passed, the gate of the government office opened.

Some people had noticed the change of the flag in the city long ago, but they were not sure; now that the government office was opened, all they saw was Shi Jian, the guard in battle armor, and accompanied by Yan Jun. It seems that Luoguan was attacked, It's already done.I saw Shi Jian walked up to the city gate with slightly heavy steps, and took off the Ning flag on the city gate with his own hands.

It was replaced by Yanzi Zhanqi.

"Shi Jian is here to inform the people!"

Standing on the top of the city, Shi Jian shouted loudly: "Yan Jun sits in the mountains and rivers, it is the destiny! Now, Shi Jian is willing to surrender to the rule of Zisang, and make the emperor's grandson the emperor! I hope the people in my city can tell right from wrong, Debate right from wrong, don't serve Daning anymore, Zisang Dayan Fang is orthodox in the world!"

In just a few words, it can be said to be powerful.

Zi Sangyu stood in a remote place, guarding Zhao Qianlianxin and others by his side.

"This Shi Jian is really good at flattering. He was nagging about our bad things a few days ago. Today, when things fail at first sight, this loyalty has been shown." Lian Xin shook his head and chuckled lightly, feeling sorry for Shi Jian look good.

Zi Sang Yu smiled, and said: "Humans are always greedy for life and afraid of death. Who doesn't want to be rich? By the way, the soldier who followed Shi Jian was brought out by his adoptive father? Why didn't you mention it?"

"That was the secret guard who was placed in various cities before, and my father never noticed it. After the communication was cut off, he has become Shi Jian's personal subordinate. It is also accidental." Lian Xin looked for an opportunity and hurriedly said: "Yes His Highness, after the battle is settled in Luoguan, father intends to let His Highness meet with all the hidden guards, after all, the dark guards are still the ones left by the crown prince, and they directly obey His Highness."

This sentence was measured, it didn't hurt the Lian family, and it also gave Zi Sang Yu face.

Zi Sang Yu just smiled and didn't answer.

On April 25th, the Yan army completely conquered all the boundaries of Luoguan City.The [-] Jiangzhou soldiers and horses stationed in Luoguan City all expressed their willingness to work hard for Dayan, and they were incorporated into the Yan army. Shi Jian's family still treated each other like a general, but Zi Sang Yu emptied his power , as if under house arrest in Luoguan City.

On the fourth day of May, although Luoguan City did not carry out large-scale killings, it still repaired various places in the past few days.Seeing that tomorrow would be the Dragon Boat Festival, Zi Sang Yu specially led his subordinates to show up in the city, and ordered people to make a lot of rice dumplings, distribute some to the people who came and went, and take them home for the festival.How could the common people be unhappy, they laughed happily after receiving the zongzi, saw that the grandson of the emperor was handsome, and were convinced, there were also many women who fell in love with him.

On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, the emperor Sang Yugang celebrated the festival with several members of the Lian family, and Lian Fu brought the secret guard and others.

According to the thousand-character article, the dark guards are divided into eight schools, which are: heaven and earth Xuanhuang, universe prehistoric, and four new schools according to the directions.There are a total of twelve schools in total, all of which are directly under the rule of the Zisang family, and the first eight branches of the dark guard are the henchmen left behind by the former prince, so they can be regarded as the retainers of the Zisang family.

Now Zi Sang Yu's skill in controlling power is gradually improving. As an emperor, the biggest characteristic is that he will be jealous.Although the Lian family has been the retainers who have raised him for many years, it is taboo to be a master, let alone a king; Lian Fu, who has served the prince for many years, is well aware of these problems, so everything must be done properly.

Zi Sang Yu sat in the upper seat and looked at the 12 people in the seat without saying a word.

"Zhengtian, Zhengdi, Zhengxuan, Zhenghuang; these four people are the heads of the four branches of Tiandi Xuanhuang, and the people under the sect are all good at walking in and out during the day, killing people invisible."

"Mingyu, Mingzhou, Minghong, and Minghuang; these four are the heads of the four branches of the universe. The people under the sect are good at going in and out at night, and they can hear the voices of hundreds of miles, comparable to nighthawks."

The eight people in the seat knelt down on the ground, and the other four stood aside, waiting to speak again.

Lian Fu clasped his fists and knelt down, and said solemnly: "Your Highness, I was entrusted by the Crown Prince back then, and I dedicated my life and life to His Highness, and everything must be for His Highness's sake first. Although the heavens and the earth are dark and yellow, and the universe's prehistoric Eight Branches of Dark Guard are good, However, in order to keep His Highness safe, I decided to cultivate another four dark guards on my own initiative. To tell you the truth, the first eight dark guards were born under the eyes of His Highness during the Mingyang Change, and the last four dark guards accompanied His Highness since childhood. When I grow up, I always think of His Highness, I hope His Highness will believe in the sincerity of my ministers, and appoint them wholeheartedly!"

After saying that, Lianfu kowtowed a few times and kept his head buried.

Zi Sang Yu's face darkened.

They said they wanted me to accept the hidden guards, but in fact, they suppressed my opinions with my womanhood.If something goes wrong one day, how can we guarantee the loyalty of these secret guards?

Lian Fu knew that Zi Sangyu was silent, so he was thinking about it; but the longer he thought about it, the more he distrusted the Lian family!Lian Fu was on the verge of crying, and shouted: "Your Highness! Your Highness, please take care of the old relationship, how could I harm Your Highness!"

Zi Sang Yu seems like a lifetime away.

Thinking of the past ten years, the Lian family has indeed done their best and cared for themselves.Whether it is teaching or daily eating and drinking, they are treated with all their heart, and they have never cared so much for Lian Xin.

"I'm sorry, adoptive father." Zi Sang Yu felt a little guilty, and walked down to help Lian Fu himself: "Since ascending to a high position, Yu'er's temper has indeed become more and more unpredictable. Because Yu'er always thinks about the future. I'm afraid that if I take a wrong step today, it will harm the Zisang family's every step of the plan. Now that the world's plans are imminent, Yu'er's prudence is also a last resort. I also hope that the adoptive father will forgive me, and Yu'er will have nothing to repay..."

These words were indeed from Zi Sang Yu's heart.

The emperor, alone.It is about being an emperor, no one can believe it all, and it is the sorrow of trying to figure out all the organs for the country and the throne all his life.Many people are envious of being an emperor, but who knows the difficulties.

"Here, Xindong, Xinnan, Xinxi, and Xinbei are the heads of the four hidden guards in the southeast, north, and north. They will always guard the left and right sides of His Highness, and you can call them directly no matter what happens."

The four hidden guards immediately knelt down, clasped their fists, and looked at Zi Sang Yu resolutely.

"My future depends on your support."

(There are 12 guards in each branch, and there are a total of 140 four in the twelve branches.)
