Chang'an Intoxicated, A Chaos-Bringing Concubine

Lian Chengyi led the defenders of Mianyang Mansion to stand firm on the city wall, Xuancheng sent Yao Chang to follow him, a crimson light glowed in the sky, it was where the army stopped raising fire, the city gate was slowly opened, Xuancheng stepped forward to greet him, seeing a glowing red light, illuminating the entire Mianyang Mansion, and then an orderly army appeared in front of him, and in the middle of the most cavalry was Deng Qiang, the general of the town army. Sitting majestically next to him is Yang An, the right general.

Seeing the people coming out from behind the city gate, the two of them got off their horses immediately and rushed up to meet them. When they got close, they knelt on one knee and clasped their fists and said, "Your subordinate sees Mr. Yang Ping, the rescue is late, and I hope Mr. Yang Ping will forgive me. "

"Get up quickly, please get up."

Xuancheng hurriedly helped the two of them, "The two generals are very loyal and brave. How can you forgive your sins? You are really good generals who protect the country of our Great Qin."

"We have heard about the Battle of Chengdu, and we all blame our subordinates for their slow marching, which delayed Duke Yangping's important event. It's a sin, a sin."

"I ordered the retreat in the Battle of Chengdu, and this allowed the enemy to break through Chengdu. What are you two guilty of? The battle will depend on two generals."

"Please rest assured, Lord Yangping, the general will live up to the entrustment of the imperial court."

"Prefect Lian." Lian Chengyi was ordered by Xuancheng, "The food and daily life of the two generals will bother you. The army has traveled a long distance and you are extremely tired. We will set up camp here tonight. The soldiers have a good rest for the night. Tomorrow Let's discuss the military again."

"Yes."

"No need, Mr. Yang Ping, the military is urgent, let's discuss the matter immediately." Deng Qiang said.

But Xuancheng insisted that Lian Taiyi arrange a rest and accommodation for Deng Qiang and Yang An, and the military will discuss it tomorrow, but in the end they couldn't resist, so they listened.

That night, the army set up tents outside Mianyang City, and the military tents rose up one after another, continuously. The night seemed to be short, and there was a faint light in the sky, and a bright light came ahead of time.

The next day, just as a white streak appeared in the sky, Deng Qiang and Yang An came over to say hello, Xuancheng couldn't sleep deeply, so he got up early and came to the main hall, even the owner of Taiyi prepared breakfast for everyone early, and everyone hurriedly ate After the meal, they gathered in the main hall, looking serious.

Lian Chengyi ordered someone to set up a military map, and the words "Comprehensive Map of Sichuan and Shuhai Coastal Defense" were engraved on it, and all the people in the hall looked straight ahead.

Xuancheng pursed his lips tightly, and without saying a word, Lian Chengyi took the lead to report, "Yang Pinggong, please see, Mianyang is only a hundred miles away from Chengdu, and now our army has a superior number, so we can go south as much as possible, and the military command post is still set up. In Mianyang, after we capture Chengdu, we can move to Chengdu."

Xuancheng stared at the icons of Mianyang and Chengdu on the map. The distance between the two places is indeed less than a hundred miles. If you go straight south from the Qin Army Station in Mianyang Prefecture, you can go straight to Chengdu. However, the road is full of plain towns, densely populated and farming. A war broke out between Mianyang and Chengdu, which would be a great disaster for the people of the two places, and it happened to be the spring plowing season at this time, and in a few days it would be the season of planting rice seedlings, and the army would definitely be harassed uncontrollably along the way. local people.

"Is it possible that we bypass Mianyang and march into Chengdu from the west?"

"If you go west to Wenshan County, Aba Prefecture, it will be a dangerous situation. In Aba Prefecture, there are many mountains and rocks, ravines, valleys and rivers, so it is not easy to march. Moreover, there are many ethnic groups in Aba Prefecture, such as Shu people, Ba people, Qiang people, and Tibetans. People, Bai people, they have never dealt with outsiders, but in this way, the rebels will not expect that we will march from Aba to the rear of Chengdu, and it will be a strategy to catch them by surprise."

Yao Chang had a worried look on his face, "It's just that if we march to Aba, we will definitely delay our trip. Now that we have a heavy army in hand, we don't need to think about it. We will go south from Mianyang to Deyang to attack Chengdu. The [-]-strong army is marching south. Already won."

Xuancheng said, "Mianyang and Deyang are rich and prosperous lands, and the people are in the season of farming. When we march here, we will inevitably disturb the people along the way."

Deng Qiang clasped his hands and said, "Mr. Yang Ping, you don't need to worry about important military and national affairs, defending the country and protecting the people. If the rebels go all the way north, then what you worry about will happen. At that time, not only the people will be caught in the chaos of war, but our Qin The country will also fall into the hands of thieves, and now we rush to Chengdu to fight against the rebels, it is really the best strategy, you have always seen it clearly, please make a clear decision."

Yang An and Deng Qiang said the same thing. The duty of a soldier is to win or lose on the battlefield. Both Deng Qiang and Yang An are famous generals. They rarely fail, but once they are successful, their bones are exhausted. Behind them are the common people and soldiers. piled up of corpses.

Thinking too much is not a good thing.

Lian Taiyi was naturally in favor of going straight down to Chengdu from Mianyang, and Wang Tong wished he could fly back to Chengdu with his wings. Both of his younger brothers were killed in the First World War in Chengdu, and he hated traitors.

Xuancheng was silent for a while, and after a while, he seemed to remember something, and turned his head to ask Yao Chang, "What about Zhu Yao? Is the information you found accurate?"

"Nine times out of ten, Zhu Yao has assembled tens of thousands of troops, but they haven't launched an attack on our Qin army when we retreat. I can guarantee that Zhu Yao will join forces with Zhang Yu this time."

"So, the time is tight and we can't afford to delay?"

"That's right, Lord Yang Ping, my court's divisions came all the way from Chang'an, the most taboo is slow marching, and the counterattack is not good. Our reserve food and grass will become a hidden danger, and it will be extremely detrimental to our army in the long run." Deng Qiang analyzed.

This point deeply pierced Xuancheng. He knew the importance of a quick battle and a quick decision for a long-distance march. If the war is delayed, it will have little impact on Zhang Yujun, but it will become a disadvantage to Qin Jun. This time The main force in suppressing the rebellion is the direct descendants of the Di clan. The army came from Chang’an, and they are somewhat uncomfortable with the environment and climate in Shu. It will take less than one month at the earliest. The protracted and bitter battle that Chang talked about, at that time, the impact of this war on Qin will be extremely unfavorable. It will waste the people and money, and deplete the treasury. The five ethnic groups in the country will also take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble. Xuancheng's heart breaks out in a cold sweat. He was originally benevolent but he didn't want to make many mistakes in the long run.

Xuan Cheng was resolute and resolute, and said loudly, "Since that's the case, all generals will obey orders."

"Deng Qiang and Yang An, I ordered you two to control all the power in the army and lead the army south to attack the main force of the rebels in Chengdu."

"The last general takes orders."

"Lian Chengyi, Wang Tong, I ordered the two of you to be the first officers in the army, responsible for all the food and supplies in the army, and immediately set out the food and grass first."

"Yes, my subordinates take orders."

"Yao Chang, Murong Yong, I ordered you two to be the left and right vanguards, to assist the governor to control the troops and report the situation of the enemy in time."

"Mr. Yangping, may His Majesty order me to..."

"Do you want to disobey orders and refuse to obey?" Xuancheng angrily reprimanded Yao Chang's words that he wanted to justify, "If you disobey and refuse to obey orders, you will not be pardoned immediately."

"My subordinates dare not."

"That's how it is. I will take the place of the emperor and thank you all first." Xuancheng bent down and bowed deeply.

Everyone quickly responded, "Don't dare to be the leader, for the country and the people, the responsibility of the last general lies."

The military meeting ended here, everyone dispersed, everything was going on nervously and orderly, Yao Chang was unwilling to leave for a long time, Xuancheng patted his shoulder, and sighed, "What are you worried about?"

"I don't want to leave you." Yao Chang blurted out.

Xuancheng was startled for a moment.

These words came from his mouth, which really shocked Xuancheng, it seemed like an agreement with someone, since he followed him to the south, what he did was really unexpected.

Xuancheng should have thought earlier that Fu Jian summoned him alone.

"It's the emperor, right?"

"What did he promise you?"

Yao Chang was carrying him behind his back, turned around suddenly, his eyes locked on his face, deep and complicated, "I don't want to leave you."

Xuancheng said, "No matter what brother Huang said, it's his promise and it has nothing to do with me. I won't promise you anything."

"I'm not asking for anything, Mr. Yang Ping, let me stay by your side."

Xuan Cheng said, "I am also in the army."

"I want to stay with you every step of the way."

Xuancheng shook his head, "Go, do what you need to do, don't worry about me, I'm fine."

"Can,,"

"Needless to say, let's go." Xuancheng raised his voice, seemingly displeased, Yao Chang opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but when he met Shang Xuancheng's indifferent eyes, his heart suddenly felt cold.

The agreement between Fu Jian and him was nothing but a title of general.

What he really wanted was never as simple as a general.

"I'm leaving."

Xuancheng laughed in his heart, he obviously needed to go south to Chengdu with the army, Yao Chang seemed to be hiding in Mianyang, and relying on the generals to quell the rebellion was just to let him follow Deng Qiang and Yang An's side is just a lieutenant general, both Deng Qiang and Yang An's military strategy can pacify the world, how many people want to learn strategy from their side.

Xuan Cheng waved his hand at him and hissed, "Go."

Xuancheng will never forget the moment he left.

That look seemed very familiar. Whose face had he seen it before? All of a sudden, Xuancheng's heart was full of mixed emotions, and he was extremely flustered. He felt an inexplicable panic in his heart. He thought about Fu Jian and felt a little distressed.

Deng Qiang and Yang An's army had already set off from Mianyang to the south, Lian Chengyi and Wang Tong were in charge of all the food and supplies in the army and left first, Lian Taiyi left behind a servant named Lian Sufang, Xuancheng thought it was a A gentle and gentle woman, but she doesn't want to be a handsome man who is the same size as Mingyue. Xuancheng stared at him and said, "Even the prefect asked you to stay with me?" Well, Lian Taiyi arranged everything properly and gave up all the servants around him to himself.

"Master Taishou, let the little one stay close to Mr. Yang Ping."

Xuancheng smiled wryly, "This is even a tailor, so I really don't know if he is flattering or sincere? Do you want me to promote him?" Now Xuancheng takes over Wang Meng's position as the prime minister of the Great Qin, and all officials in the court and localities must be appointed. After passing through his hands, it is not impossible for Lian Taiyi to seek credit and reward in front of the Prime Minister, but in front of such a war, Xuancheng is probably overthinking.

"Su Fang?"

Lian Su Fang was slightly startled, and Xuan Cheng laughed out loud with her innocent eyes, "You, I'm calling you."

"Mr. Yang Ping, I don't dare to be a villain." Lian Su Fang's legs softened in fright, and she knelt on the ground all of a sudden.

Xuancheng said, "Get up, since you want to follow me, then listen to me, Su Fang is your name, let's go, we are all set off, we should go too, go lead the horse."

"Didn't Lord Yangping stay in Mianyang?"

"The army has already set off. How can I hide in the back, my majestic brother of the Great Qin King? Go, you come with me."
