Rebel

Dian Bushi took Huai Xin to the camp of the garrison in the Central Plains, when he got close, a military commander came out to greet him, it was a son of a noble family who belonged to the Northern Army, when he saw Huai Xin, he called out: "Young Master Huai! "

Huai Xin dismounted, stepped forward, and asked: "...you have been in Rongdi for a long time, how is the situation?"

The military leader said: "Yes, before we came out, the King of Han ordered us to go to Rong, to learn how Rong people eat meat, bend bows, wade across rivers, make leather clothes, make cheese, and grow beards. Now go out and change. If we take off our clothes and don’t speak, I’m afraid no one will recognize that we are from the Central Plains!”

Huai Xin nodded, "Very good."

Dian Bushi followed Huai Xin, the military commander walked up to Dian Bushi, and said with a smile, "General Dian is finally here, brothers thought General Dian had forgotten us."

Dian didn't know what to say, and felt ashamed for a while, and couldn't help but bow his head.

The military commander said to Huai Xin again: "I now know that it's really convenient for the soldiers to march, as long as they drive the sheep and horses, all the food and drink are taken care of on the horse's back, no wonder they walk like the wind and run like thunder. "

"That's right..." Huai Xin sighed, "...Go, talk inside."

While talking, the four of them entered the camp, and immediately called the officers to discuss matters.

At this moment in Yuyang, Gu Ao took Yu Junfan, Chen Jiang and his party to the ranch under the jurisdiction of Liu Zhishan to learn about the breeding of war horses.Yu Junfan hugged Gu Jiang onto his sweaty red horse, and then he turned on his back, wrapping Gu Jiang in his arms.Gu Jiang leaned in Yu Junfan's arms, looked at the open grassland in front of him, and said happily: "Father, this is my first time riding a horse!"

Yu Junfan shook the reins lightly, the horse walked slowly, and the horse's back also bumped: "Are you afraid?"

Gu Jiang shook his head, stretched out his small hand, touched the saddle tentatively, touched the mane on the horse's neck, and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid! It's fun, I like riding horses! I also like wooden knives, wooden sword!"

Chen Jiang followed not far behind, and said with a smile: "It seems that when the son grows up, he will definitely become a fierce general who will fight for the King of Han."

Gu Ao was driving his pure brown steed, walking in front, and Yu Jun Fan reined in his horse to catch up with him a few steps, keeping pace with Gu Ao.Gu Jiang looked sideways at Gu Ao and said, "Father, what did you write this morning?"

Gu Ao said: "The letter written for my father is a letter to the emperor, and now it has been sent to Shangjing."

Gu Jiang asked curiously: "What is it talking about? Can you tell me?"

Gu Ao hooked the corner of his mouth: "You want to know?"

Gu Jiang nodded vigorously: "Yeah!"

"As a father, it is written like this: 'I heard that the Duke of Zhou is loyal to the country, but he is in charge of Cai Jizhi. Le Yi is a diligent king, but slander and slander are everywhere. Jealous of the virtuous and capable, evil, straight, ugly and upright, what generation does not have it?'"

"Father, what does this mean?"

"Let your adoptive father tell you."

Yu Junfan glanced at Gu Ao with a smile, and said: "Your father wrote the letter to the emperor. At the beginning, he said that great sages like Duke Zhou have both Uncle Guan and Uncle Cai go forward to slander King Cheng. Help like Le Yi There are people who slander the king's fierce generals. There are such things as jealousy and jealousy in every dynasty."

Gu Jiang nodded thoughtfully.

Gu Ao said: "I have received great grace from the emperor and was entrusted to Hanzhong. I am always willing to repay the virtue of the court with my death, so I went north to guard the northern gate for the court."

Gu Jiang blinked, and a sad expression suddenly appeared on his face: "...Father, are you going to die for the emperor?"

Yu Junfan lightly pressed Gu Jiang's lips: "...Jiang'er."

Gu Jiang pursed his lips: "But the father said just now that he would like to repay the virtue of the court with his death."

Gu Ao looked at Gu Jiang and smiled slightly: "Your reaction is quite fast, who taught you how to write?"

Gu Jiang said: "Grandpa taught it."

Gu Ao said: "Then let me say the next sentence to see if you understand what it means."

Gu Jiang nodded and said, "Okay!"

Gu Ao continued: "The three battles and the three victories are all thanks to the Holy Majesty's decisive strategy to conquer the North. All the soldiers in the north look up to the Holy Majesty's wisdom. Today, they are fighting against the humiliation of the soldiers and the world is invigorated. This is also the merit of the Majesty. In day-to-day prosperity, there was a regent, the Yong family, who lived on the king's salary, but used authority to deceive Sheng Cong, used slander to destroy the achievements of the emperor, and used private soldiers to harm the court inside and outside."

Gu Jiang turned his head and asked Yu Junfan, "Father, what does this paragraph mean?"

Yu Junfan smiled and said: "This passage means that the King of Han is loyal to the court, and the military achievements of the King of Han all depend on the trust of the emperor. However, some chaotic officials and thieves deliberately provoke the emperor and ministers. The emperor's achievements cannot be distributed in the world. For self-interest, it's all about compromising Tianwei."

Gu Jiang frowned, and said: "Who is this person, it's so disgusting!"

Gu Ao smiled, and continued: "It's a good thing that the Holy One rewards the rebel army with food and grass. However, those who have a heart do not want to achieve such a beauty. They only want the princes of the world to be at odds with the emperor, so there are two kinds of contempt for the minister. The survival of the minister depends on the Holy One. The pity, what face do you have now in the world of sages? I hope that the sage will show mercy and wash away the grievances of the courtiers."

Gu Jiang said: "What does this mean? Could it be that the emperor misunderstood the father?"

Yu Junfan said: "That's what it means. The King of Han was framed for the matter of the Emperor rewarding the rebels with food and grass. Some people have been sowing discord between the princes and the emperor all day long. It is nothing more than their own conspiracy. The Emperor is wise and decisive. I hope you can understand." Distinguish this."

Gu Jiang said: "The emperor is too confused, how could he be deceived?"

Yu Junfan said: "The emperor has only one pair of eyes, how can he see so much? How can he know who is telling the truth and who is telling the lie?"

Gu Jiang said: "...then...then what should I do?"

Yu Junfan smiled and said: "So the emperor must have cronies, wings, and eyes and ears."

Gu Jiang asked: "Then does the emperor have cronies, wings, eyes and ears?"

Yu Junfan sighed and shook his head: "...just not."

Gu Jiang asked: "Will the emperor believe in the father?"

Gu Ao reined in his horse and raised his whip, "Jiang'er, look."

"...What is that?" Gu Jiang asked.

I saw a vast pasture in front of me. Under the blue sky, thin clouds and far away sun, on the emerald green grassland and beside the winding clear stream, the flocks of sheep are white and fat, and the herds of horses are galloping and dull... scattered in the greenery like embellishments From time to time, some people dressed as herdsmen came out of the tent in the middle of the camp.

Yu Junfan smiled and said: "That is your father's sharp blade from now on, Tiger and Leopard Rider."

"But it's only horses and sheep!"

Yu Junfan patted Gu Jiang's head: "The horses are war horses, the sheep are supplies, and there are iron castings in Yuyang City. Jianger, what you see is not tiger and leopard riders?"

Gu Jiang frowned, and nodded with a vague understanding.

Gu Ao pointed at Gu Jiang with his whip, and signaled: "With this, the emperor will have to trust me even if he doesn't want to believe me in the future. As long as the horses raised here can be used by me, I can arrive here within a day. At the foot of Shangjing."

Chen Jiang got off his horse on one side: "Congratulations, King Han!"

Gu Ao said with a smile: "After the tigers and leopards have formed an army, it will not be too late to congratulate. Get up quickly."

Chen Jiang wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said: "Yes! I just listened to it, and when I was happy, I became confused."

Soon, news came from Rongdi that Princess Rong had established her son as king, and she respected herself as the empress dowager as regent.It is said that five out of the thirteen parts have pledged their allegiance, two have spoken harshly, and the remaining six have not moved.Hou Dian didn't know and the two generals of Rong led an army to attack the two tribes who were not inferior. Gu Ao also sent troops to support them. They were defeated, and the six tribes returned to their hearts from then on.

At this time, Youxian King Badger Di was in the camp, surrounded by his generals: "My lord! While the new battle over there is not stable, we should attack it urgently!"

Badger Di looked at his subordinates with a gloomy expression, pacing back and forth in the tent... He finally sighed, and said, "I thought that my sister was a person who focused on the overall situation. Back then, for me, I was with Ah Yu at my father's house. In front of the king, circling left and right... Unexpectedly, today, unexpectedly... unexpectedly..." In the end, it was she who was greedy for power and greedy, and betrayed her brother without hesitation... Thinking of this, Badger Di couldn't help pulling out her waist. Throwing the knife in the middle into the ground, he gritted his teeth and said a word: "Hit!"

After finishing speaking, Badger Di shook off his sleeves, turned around and entered the inner curtain.

An old woman came forward with concern. She shook out a handkerchief from her cuff, and with trembling old hands, wanted to wipe the sweat off Badger Di's forehead, but Badger Di waved it away.Badger Di looked at the person in front of him—the fragrance of the Han Palace, and the dangling gold jewelry on his head, which he had missed so much in the past, but now he smelled it and saw it, but it made him sick.

Pointing at the old woman, he said angrily: "What's the use of your Han women's tricks?" As he spoke, he kicked a desk away, and the old woman looked at him in horror: "Di Lang... Di Lang... you What's wrong?"

"What's wrong with me..." Badger Di grabbed his hair, stared at the ground with rounded eyes: "I should have known... when the King of Han in the Central Plains gave Badger Xuan's head to his sister, I should have known!"

Tears streamed down the old woman's face, she walked up to him, and lovingly embraced him in her arms: "Di Lang..."

Badger Di's whole body trembled, "Don't touch me!"

The old woman said: "If you are angry, you can beat or punish your concubine. Don't get angry yourself."

Badger Di pushed the old woman hard, only to hear a bang, and the old woman was pushed by Badger Di and fell to the ground.Badger Di was stunned for a moment, then hurried forward a few steps and opened his eyes wide.He knelt down, first shook her shoulders; then called her, called her, but she never woke up again.

Badger Di was ill in bed for a whole month.He was too sick to get out of bed, and he couldn't even be there to bury her in person.

But his army couldn't wait any longer, and the mighty armored cavalry drove out of King Youxian's residence one after another, and headed towards Shuofang.

But this time, Princess Rong has experienced the conquest of the Six Departments, and her prestige has greatly increased.Huai Xin redistributed Princess Rong's rewards, rewarding three thousand volunteers for meritorious deeds.Then while reporting the battle report to Gu Ao to ask for credit, while thinking about the day when King Youxian will attack, he smiled slightly in his heart: The good show has just begun.
