Tongshu with Mei

Yang Lie was crying and making noise like this, and just as he was showing embarrassment, suddenly a sword light came towards him, accompanied by Yang Tao's exclamation: "Stop!" Although Yang Lie was not good at martial arts, his reaction was fast. As soon as his legs softened, he slipped out to the ground, but he was still a little slow. He only felt that the top of his head was cold, and it was Ling Shu's sword that chopped off his hair even with the hair crown.

Fortunately, Ling Shu heard Yang Tao's cry, and finally stopped quickly and didn't hurt him. When he saw him limp into a pile on the ground, crying and crying, he snorted coldly and walked out of the tent.

Yang Tao saw that Ling Shu's face was troubled, and he was not in the mood to deal with Yang Lie and Yang Zhao anymore, so he hurriedly drove them out, and He Qingchun, who had been serving him closely, quickly followed them out.Yang Tao turned back and waved at him, telling him to go back to the tent by himself.

But there was no sign of Ling Shu on this side of the room.It was dark at this time, he walked around behind the tent and called out in a low voice: "Yuanmei, Yuanmei come out!" Ling Shu still did not appear.Yang Tao became a little anxious, and murmured: "I'm really angry this time, Yuanmei!"

Finally hearing Ling Shu humming behind a tree not far away, Yang Tao rushed over and saw him slowly turning out from behind the tree. His Majesty the Emperor looked at his frozen face and explained: "This way It's not easy, so don't bother with Lao Liu, just ignore him."

Ling Shudao: "Why does Your Majesty have to swallow his anger on him? He is so rude to you, shouldn't he be killed?"

Yang Tao said: "There is another reason for this matter. This place is not far from Jinling. Jinling Du Wei Jun Wenzhe was born in a famous family in Jinling. His cousin is Princess Wu. It is said that Jun Wenzhe's generation only has such a cousin. To marry the princess, Jun Wenzhe personally sent his relatives from Jinling to the capital, thinking that he valued his younger sister very much. The sixth child was born to be a wicked person. When he escaped, he left the princess in Luoyang, but brought several concubines with him. He followed him to Jinling, and it seemed that he didn't dare to face his cousin, so he refused to go. But Jinling's terrain is dangerous, a hundred times stronger than Yangzhou. So King Wu can't kill him for now, so as not to anger Jun Wenzhe and cause extra problems."

Ling Shu looked at his frowning, and said in a low voice, "In this case, King Wu will definitely not want to go to Jinling."

Yang Tao said: "That's up to him. When we get to Jinling, let this bastard figure out his own way to make excuses with his cousin. I don't have to worry about it so much."

This night, in the middle of the night, the spies from the rear rushed to report, and Yang Xi's soldiers were about to catch up again. Rong Zhengfu had no choice but to order the camp to be pulled out in a hurry, and then fled in the direction of Chuzhou.Chuzhou is the gateway of Jinling in the north of the Yangtze River, so Jun Wenzhe specially sent Lin Jiyao, the deputy captain, to guard Chuzhou.

When Yang Tao retreated to this point in a hurry, Lin Jiyao was able to report and sent the vanguard to welcome the emperor into the city. Before he could catch his breath, Yang Xi surrounded him with a large army.Although the number of soldiers and horses in the city and the number of soldiers and horses outside the city is very different, Kuang Chuzhou is adjacent to the prosperous Jinling, and the soldiers are all Wu people.Wu people are cunning and shrewd, but their physical strength is very different from that of Bei Chenqing's soldiers.But Lin Jiyao reacted quickly. While passing the report to Jinling Jun Wenzhe, he prepared to roll stones and huge trees to prevent Yang Xi from attacking the city.

On the second day, Yang Xi sent troops to attack the city.After attacking for three days in a row, Lin Jiyao defended the city to the death. There were countless casualties above and below the city, but they still couldn't stand each other.At the same time, Jinling Duwei Jun Wenzhe received the report from the mansion, rectified the troops, and planned to send troops to Chuzhou to support Lin Jiyao.

The news reached Yang Xi that most of Jun Wenzhe's subordinates were navy, and the waterway between Chuzhou and Jinling was extremely suitable for naval warfare.If Jinling's naval forces came forward and attacked back and forth, the situation would be unpredictable.Yang Xi happened to be with Ren Guan and Bei Chenqing, holding the residence newspaper in his hand, and asked, "What do you think sir?"

Ren Guan said: "The old man made up the ballad, although most of it was nonsense, but I think His Majesty has already believed it, so he retreated to the southeast. The land of Jiangdong is one of the four corners of the world. If you can occupy it, you can settle in one corner. Now This situation depends on His Royal Highness Zhao's bearing."

Hearing this, Yang Xi stood up, walked slowly to a large sheepskin map, stared at it for a moment, then laughed in a low voice: "It's not because I'm not brave enough, brother emperor is now the emperor, and I still have the name of a traitor. The matter has come to this point, I just want to let the emperor's brother rest in a corner, if he makes a comeback in the future, how can there be a place where I, Yang Xi, will be buried?"

He stretched out his hand, lightly touched everything on the map, right on the line of the Yangtze River, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Huang, you don't have to cross the river, he must not go to Jinling." Turning back to Bei Chenqing: "Yunqi, General Yuan Ouming is now Where are you marching to?"

Bei Chenqing said: "Dangtu. Dangtu is the west gate of Jinling, and Jun Wenzhe is also guarding it very tightly. It won't be able to attack for a while."

Yang Xidao: "Our soldiers and horses are not good at dealing with the navy in the south, so it's better not to go head-to-head. You should step up your attack on the city, while increasing the number of soldiers and horses to try to cut off the passage between Jinling and Chuzhou. And you go find the little wolf Come on, I have something urgent for him to do. What is he doing that has been hiding around for a while?"

In the end, Yang Ye was forcibly dragged in front of Yang Xi by Bei Chenqing, and he said reluctantly: "Why do you want me? If you still want me to go back to Luoyang, I won't go!"

Yang Xi tilted his head to look at him, smiled slightly after a while, and said: "You are not allowed to go back, but there is a big thing that needs to be done by you. Jun Wenzhe is guarding Jinling, and there are many sailors. Witty man, I don’t want to fight him. So I’ve sent people back to Luoyang to quietly pick up Princess Wu. After you catch Princess Wu and persuade her to agree, go to Jinling with her. If you can persuade her Jun Wenzhe, it's best not to accept the emperor's brother to cross the river."

Yang Ye said: "It depends on what Six Emperors Wife means. If she doesn't agree to be a lobbyist, wouldn't our effort be wasted?"

Yang Xidao: "When you catch Concubine Wu, you can test it out like this. If she still misses the relationship between husband and wife with Sixth Brother, we will promise her that there will be a reunion day for her husband and wife. If she resents Sixth Brother She was left in Luoyang and escaped on her own, wanting to put an end to the relationship between husband and wife, so after the matter is done, it will be up to me to find another husband for her, and she will be able to choose from all the officials and generals of the Dayan Dynasty."

Yang Ye's eyes widened following his words, and he stared blankly at Yang Xi.Yang Xi smiled, and reached out to touch his shoulders: "Don't worry, Princess Wu is a gentle and virtuous woman from a Jinling family. Your reputation is so bad, she won't choose you." He pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "I guess, although the sixth brother is incredibly absurd, Princess Wu will still choose to keep the sixth brother, and the husband and wife will be reunited. So the life of the sixth brother must be carefully reserved for him, and you must live in harmony with him in the future."

Yang Ye frowned and said: "Brother, Yang Lie beat me when I was young! I don't want to spare his life, I really want to kill him! If you want to stay, it's your business, let me go and talk to him, this I can't do the job!"

After saying that, he turned around and was about to go out, but Yang Xi pulled him over and sat down on the edge of the table: "Little wolf, have you forgotten what I told you on the Tongguan tower? Has he lost a tooth? It’s considered even. And after this battle of mine, if there are no brothers and sisters left, I’m afraid it’s not good. You should calm down a little and think about this truth. I’m so If I haven't seen you for many days, you are not afraid that my brother will miss you? Don't go out and run around, I have someone make delicious food, and I will bring it to you later, sleep with my brother at night, let's have a good talk .”

He comforted him gently, there was no reason for Yang Ye not to obey, so he finally had to agree.

But it was a long way from Luoyang to Chuzhou, and it took a lot of time to go back and forth. Princess Wu couldn't reach Chuzhou for a while.Here, Beichenqing was in a hurry to attack Chuzhou, forcing Lin Jiyao to resist on the top of the city day and night, exhausted.Yang Tao shrank in the city, listening to the shouts of killing outside, he was panicked and lived like a year.

There are many waterways between Chuzhou and Jinling. Over there, Jun Wenzhe has sent troops, mainly navy troops, across the Yangtze River.Southerners are good at water warfare, while Beichenqing is good at field battles. The right time and place are so inappropriate for Yang Xi's side, so they had to send troops to meet them. As a result, they were defeated head-on, losing thousands of soldiers and horses. Beichenqing had no choice but to fight and retreat. Let's hold the camp first.The siege here naturally slowed down.

Yang Xi didn't want to go head-to-head with Jun Wenzhe's army, and when he saw the opponent's aggressiveness, he had the stance of swearing not to give up.He circled around the camp a few times, and asked Yang Ye beside him, "How many days will it take for Princess Wu to arrive?"

Yang Ye flicked away a small flying insect in the tea in his spare time, and said, "Now I'm in Fuyang area. She can't stand the bumps, and it will take five days to get to Chuzhou. A woman's house, she wears rouge, powder, clothes and feet every day. It’s normal to dawdle.”

Yang Xi glanced at him, frowned and pondered, and said after a while: "When she arrives in Chuzhou, you still have to go to Jinling with her. It may take five or six days. What I'm most worried about now is that Jun Wenzhe and Lin Jiyao will fight against each other. Let’s meet up, abandon Chuzhou and take the emperor and sixth younger brother to Jinling, then the dragon will return to the sea, which will be much more troublesome. So how can we delay these more than ten days?"

Ren Guan sat not far away, watching the two smiling all the time, then shook the broken cattail fan in his hand, and said with a smile: "It is said that there is news in Chuzhou City that His Majesty the Emperor is now in dire straits, suffering day and night. So, why don't His Highness take this opportunity to post and invite him to have a face-to-face talk? You can tell him temporarily to rule across the river, and then wait until you have something to do with General Jun Wenzhe, and then talk about other things."

Yang Xi's eyes lit up, and he said: "Sir, you have a good plan. I just don't know if Brother Huang has the courage to meet Xiao Wang. It's not good to wait like this, let's try it."

He immediately wrote a long letter to Yang Tao in his own hand: "My younger brother started his army in Fengyuguan, and has been fighting against the emperor for more than two years. It is not my younger brother who offends Tianwei, but it is my younger brother who has a sense of precarity. Yan. Where the flames of war are spreading today, countless soldiers have been lost, and the people have suffered from the disaster of fish in the pond. They have no thought of recuperating, but only avoid the heart of war. My brother asked himself, deeply repented, and couldn't sleep at night. The situation is dangerous, and old diseases break out , Thinking about the old feelings, I can't suppress the sadness. If the emperor believes the younger brother's words, I ask the emperor to move to the Xiangquan Temple in Langya Mountain in the south of Chuzhou City. I haven't seen the second brother and the sixth brother for a long time. If the emperor moves to come, please bring them with you to comfort the little brother. I hope to answer.

Then the envoys were sent to Chuzhou City and handed over to Yang Tao.

Yang Tao received the letter, sent the envoy away, and read it over and over for a long time.He had no one to discuss with, so he finally had to summon Ling Shu, but kicked out all the waiters, showed the letter to Ling Shu, and said, "What does Yuan Mei think? Is there any fraud?" ?”

In just a few months, Yang Tao's hair has turned gray again. Ling Shu looked at his gray temples and fine lines at the corners of his eyes, pondered for a long time, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, King Zhao invites you to go to the peace talks. I have no good intentions. However, the situation in the world has reached such a point that it is impossible to completely counterattack and regain the country, so it depends on His Majesty's will. If His Majesty is willing to rule the river with him, there is no need to meet with him, as soon as possible Find a way to break through, as long as you cross the Yangtze River, it will be much easier. If...if..."

He suddenly stopped and fell silent, Yang Tao said: "You said, you are the person I trust the most, no matter what I say, I will not blame you."

Ling Shudao: "Then I will speak bluntly, please blame me, Your Majesty. His Royal Highness Zhao Wang is ambitious, even if he plans to rule the river, it may not be his final wish. If he wants your life, he will have trouble sleeping and eating. Your Majesty If you think about it more openly, then give up this country cruelly, and my subordinates will protect you and your empress and prince far away, away from this war and disputes, and mix among all living beings, and live this life in peace."

Yang Tao's face immediately changed when he heard the words, and he said sharply: "What did you say? You made me give up this country? Why? Why should I give up! It is clear that this world belongs to me, but now it is so handed over to others, Even if I die, how can I have the face to meet my ancestors? Yuanmei! You are turning your elbows, are you sent by that little bastard Yang Ye to be a lobbyist? I raised you so big for nothing , you actually...you actually...you kneel down for me!"
