Chang'an Intoxicated, A Chaos-Bringing Concubine

The moonlight shines on the wide street, the pavement is paved with bluestone slabs, and there are many shops on both sides of the street. The tops of each shop are covered with colored paper, which says the type of business and some slogans. At this moment, the door is tightly closed , it looked a little cold, but it was almost midnight, and the street was empty, quiet and peaceful.

After crossing the Jinniu Bridge, a mansion came into view.

A lantern was hung at the gate of the mansion, and the flames were flickering inside. There were three or two people standing under the lantern.

The sound of the horse's hooves stopped abruptly, and the figure floated in front of them. The three of them bowed slightly to salute, and said in a respectful tone, "Wang Tong, the prefect of Shu County, pays his respects to Lord Yang Ping. Lord Yang Ping has worked hard all the way."

Xuan Cheng said, "It's hard work for Wang Taishou to be stationed in Shu. I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of the emperor."

"Grand Yangping praised you absurdly. I am deeply ashamed that I did not fulfill the important task entrusted to me by His Majesty, which caused Shu to fall into war."

"You are overthinking. This incident is actually caused by Zhang Yu, a man from Shu. It has nothing to do with you. The imperial court will not punish you."

What Xuancheng brought was Fu Jian's meaning.

"Thank you Yangping for your kindness."

"Mr. Yangping, please come inside."

"it is good."

That night, Xuancheng finally settled down in Chengdu. Wang Tong arranged everything. Xuancheng read the report all night until the third watch sounded and fell asleep.

After a few hours, the sound of watchdogs sounded, and the crowing of cocks continued slowly. Xuancheng held a meeting in the main hall. Attending the meeting were Wang Tong, the prefect of Shu County, Wang Shu, the Sima of Shu County, Wang Yao, the deputy Sima, and Qin Yang. General Yao Chang, and Xuancheng's new follower, Murong Yong from Xianbei.

"What do you all think about Zhang Yu's matter? Should we negotiate with him immediately?"

Wang Tong took the lead and said, "Mr. Yang Ping, from the point of view of my subordinates, the peace talks are negligible. It is almost impossible for Zhang Yu to surrender to Qin. Zhang Yu's rebel army attacked our Shu prefect's mansion before. Later, because my reinforcements arrived, Zhang Yu Yu did not have the support of the government of the Jin Dynasty, so he withdrew from Shu County, but we got news that the Huan family of the Jin Dynasty was secretly supporting Zhang Yu. Although Zhang Yu retreated to Badi, according to the spies, he had secretly With the support of Jin Dynasty governor Zhuyao of Yizhou and General Weiyuan Huan Shiqian, there must be a battle between Zhang Yu and Qin, and in my opinion, it will be in the near future."

After hearing what he said, Xuancheng affirmed what Murong Yong said before. It seems that after Huan Wen's death, his son Huan Xuan entered Shu for a purpose.

Although Da Qin had a ten-year agreement with Xie An, after Huan Wen's death, the power of the Huan family did not weaken too much. Huan Chong assisted the government in the court, and the Jin Dynasty is still the two powerful families of the Huan family and the Xie family. game between.

The Huan family controlled the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, today's Hubei and Sichuan provinces, while Xie An controlled the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, today's Jiangsu and Zhejiang. From this point of view, the world is really divided equally.

Therefore, even if Zhang Yu colluded with Huan Xuan and got the support of the governor of Yizhou and the general of the Jin Dynasty, it does not mean that it was the intention of the Jin Dynasty court. If he supports Zhang Yu in obtaining the land of Shu and seizes all the land in Yizhou and Liangzhou, then Huanxuan will become the next king of Shu. With the emperor in his hands, it may be difficult to compete with Huan, the king of Shu.

Thinking of this level, Xuancheng suddenly felt how timely the letter he left was sent.

He believed in Xie An's character.

Xie An is not like Huan Wen before his death, even if he can't be famous forever, he will be infamous for thousands of years. His son Huan Xuan inherited his father's will, and he is determined to go north, regain the lost land, and become a king.But why did the Wuhu and the Han people kill each other?Isn't it good to integrate with each other?

"But we have to give him a chance. If we can really persuade Zhang Yu to surrender and avoid a bloody disaster, it will be a good thing for both Daqin and the people of Shu." Xuancheng said.

Maybe it was the Fu's blood flowing in this body. Like Fu Jian, he clearly said that he could not be soft-hearted, but before the last step, he still wanted to try and use his own power to avoid a war.

How do you know you can't succeed if you don't try?

If after trying it, it doesn't work, then kill and make a decision. The ancients paid attention to etiquette before fighting, and this set of kung fu must be done well.

"Mr. Yangping, the people of Shu are strong and irritable. If peace talks with them fail and you are in danger, I'm afraid..." Yao Chang put forward his own opinion. He is a Qiang, and he knows the character of the people of Shu very well. Irritable and reckless, impulsive, do things without paying attention to consequences, rigid, straight and hard, so fierce, how can you sit down and have a peaceful conversation with him?

"That's right, Lord Yang Ping, from the point of view of my subordinates, it is better to send troops directly, there is no need to talk about it."

"Yes, our Great Qin army is strong and strong, why should we be afraid of the chaos of the refugees."

Several people agreed.

Xuancheng thought about it for a long time, but still insisted on his own opinion, "You don't need to persuade me too much, I have made up my mind, and I will go to Bariao to talk with him tomorrow."

He added, "My Great Qin conquered the people of all ethnic groups. It is not insignificant. People of all ethnic groups get along with each other. Only the Han people are difficult to surrender. If I treat them roughly, it will be a long war. The more it explodes, the more difficult it is to reconcile the problems between our ethnic groups. The Great Qin needs the Han people and the people of all ethnic groups. If we really can’t surrender, then we have no choice but to send troops to fight against it, it will be a bitter battle, and the people of all ethnic groups will be deeply troubled by the war, do you understand?”

After the words were finished, everyone remained silent, and then clasped their fists together and said, "Mr. Yangping is painstaking, but his subordinates are stupid."

Wang Tong said, "Then I will choose a hundred elite soldiers from the army to escort you to Balio."

"No need, Murong Yong and I can go."

"Mr. Yang Ping, this is absolutely impossible. It's too dangerous to go deep into the tiger's den." Everyone advised.

Yao Chang said, "Mr. Yang Ping, I want to go with you. When I left Chang'an, His Majesty told me not to leave you. You can't leave me behind."

Xuancheng ignored him.

Yao Chang persisted, "Mr. Yang Ping, Murong Yong is a refugee, why did he go with you? If you don't take me with you, I will definitely go with you."

Xuan Cheng thought to himself, Murong Yong was exiled in Sichuan for five years, he is well aware of the pain of life as a refugee, besides, he is good at martial arts, so it would be a good helper to go with him.

And Yao Chang is quite scheming, and I wanted to take him with me, but when I thought of his boldness along the way, constantly harassing me, and being disrespectful, Xuancheng wanted to play tricks on him, but he didn't expect him to So serious.

At this moment, Xuancheng was surprised, is Yao Chang sincere?

What is he for.

There was something between him and Fu Jian that he didn't know.

"You don't have to go." Xuancheng ruthlessly refused.

Yao Chang chased after him, "Mr. Yang Ping, please take me with you."

Xuancheng sighed sadly, and looked helplessly at the group of people around him, "Whoever of you has the ability to stop him, I will reward you very much."

"Uh..." Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

No one can stop it.

In this way, Yao Chang could only go to Badi with Xuancheng. After the meeting dispersed, Wang Tong specially hosted a banquet in the mansion for the people of Xuancheng. Taste, has been avoiding, but Yao Chang likes spicy food and drinks, Xuancheng feels more and more that he has nothing similar to him, and Fu Jian sent him here to argue with him.

"Mr. Yangping, when the land of Shu is leveled, I'll treat you to hot pot."

"Hot pot?" Xuan Cheng frowned.

"Oh, this is a special delicacy in Sichuan, you don't know it, it's very exciting."

Of course Xuancheng knew about hot pot, but he was surprised why there was a talk about hot pot during the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms period in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

He thought about it again, hot pot became popular during the Warring States period, but at that time people used clay pots as pots, and the hot pot in Sichuan that Yao Chang said was popular in Sichuan and Badi, mostly copper pots and iron pots , with condiments, boil various vegetables and meatballs together, which is very close to hot pot in the modern sense.

Xuan Cheng ruthlessly refused again, "No need."

Yao Chang approached him and smiled treacherously, "Don't worry, you will like it, Mr. Yang Ping."

Xuancheng murmured in his heart, after the matter in Shu was settled down, Yao Chang must be kicked out of his side. He regarded himself as the gentle and modest gentleman in history who treated his subordinates like relatives. It's a pity, let him down, he is not that Fu Rong.

Murong Yong brought a map, and the geography of Shu and Ba was displayed in front of Xuancheng. He began to observe it seriously. This map is not very different from the modern division of regions. Ba is in the east of Shu, and Yizhou is in the east. The north is Deyang County, Mianyang County, Zitong County and Jianmenguan, and between Badi and Zitong is Dazhou County in Shu, and there are Xuanhan and Dazhu counties. Then they will go to Baliao on this trip from Chengdu. Set off to the southeast, about 200 miles away.

Badi is no different from Shudi. The topography is more complicated. Badi is full of dangerous mountains and cliffs. If you are not careful, you will fall into the cliff. What's more, you will have no way to go when you walk. The road is blocked by high mountains. Blocking, the rivers and mountains marked on the map are densely packed.

Murong Yong's eyes are strong and full of luster, which is different from the Xianbei man Xuancheng knew. At that time, that man's eyes were only dark. I don't know how he is doing right now?

"Murong Yong, have you heard of Murong Chong?"

Murong Yong raised his eyes suddenly, his eyes were full of doubts, he looked at Xuancheng with puzzled eyes.

"Don't panic, I don't mean anything, I just want to ask you, don't think too much, if you don't want to say it, forget it."

"When I was in Yecheng, I met Chong'er. He is my nephew." Now it was Xuancheng's turn to be dumb. Is Murong Chong his nephew?

Xuancheng lingered in his mind for a long time before he gradually figured out this idea. Murong Chong was originally the former prince of the Yan Kingdom. Once the kingdom was destroyed and he was brought into the harem by Fu Jian, he would be in the same generation as Fu Jian regardless of his age. Fu Jian's younger brother, Murong Chong and himself are considered to be of the same generation, but Murong Yong is Murong Chong's uncle, so based on such a relationship, this person is actually a generation higher than himself?

As soon as this idea came out, Xuancheng was stunned by his rich imagination.

Thinking of this level of seniority, Xuancheng actually found it extremely funny, and a wicked smile could not help but overflow from the corner of his mouth.
