My country is dead again [Rebirth]

"King Yan went to Jiangbei?" Xie Ruzhuo was shocked when he received the military report, "Who gave him such a bad idea?"

It happened that Du Ruo went to the palace to discuss with Xie Ruzhuo the details of reopening the Imperial College, and he said with a smile: "King Yan has already lost most of Ning Ya, success or failure is a matter of time, he chose to find another way to break into Jiangbei, in order to blackmail Xu Zishen into an alliance, so as to resist Why does His Majesty think our attack is a bad idea?"

Xie Ruzhuo knew that Du Ruo had understood it a long time ago, so he deliberately asked this question, and said with a smile: "Can those aristocratic families in Jiangbei agree? In the eyes of the aristocratic Jiangbei, Jiangbei is the source of their wealth accumulated for generations. At the beginning, they were willing to help Xu Zishen. By the way, they are all shrewd businessmen, who don’t like to do things with money and power? But if they have to abandon one, they will definitely abandon Pingdu and choose Jiangbei. They don’t need power, but I can’t live without my old foundation, as long as the foundation is still there, I don’t have to worry about making a comeback.”

"So Your Majesty thinks that the Jiangbei family will persuade Xu Zishen to save Jiangbei?"

"It will definitely be." Xie Ruzhuo sighed, "It's a pity for Xu Zishen, he was born at an untimely time, and in this life he will always encounter an unsatisfactory court."

Du Ruo also sighed, shook his head and said: "It's not a matter of luck. A person like Xu Zishen will never be rewarded no matter where he is. He is only suitable for the battlefield."

Xie Ruzhuo has never concealed his regret for Xu Zishen. If he could have a little choice, he would not be willing to become an enemy with Xu Zishen. Even now, Xu Zishen is the most admirable opponent in the world.

They paid close attention to the movements of Ning Ya and Jiangbei every day, and learned that King Yan really entered Huaixi without fear of death. If he really wanted to do something to Jiangbei, he stopped in Yongzhou and heard that he was sending someone to deliver a letter to Xu Zishen.

So everyone turned their attention to Hengchuan again. Xu Zishen and Shen Ci had been in a stalemate in Fengzhou for more than ten days. Shen Ci's letter from early October had just mentioned this matter, saying that after Xu Zishen's defeat in Yingzhou, he was already in a deadlock. It was a very unfavorable situation, but Xu Zishen blocked their offensive in a daze, and pushed the front line back a little every few days, but he became more and more courageous.

Before, everyone thought that Yingzhou was the most difficult battle this time. After fighting for more than half a month, it was still the most exhausted period for both armies. As long as Xu Zishen was defeated, they would be able to fully grasp the initiative and win all the way. .

However, they still underestimated Xu Zishen. This person would only keep telling his opponent that the most difficult battle against him would always be the next one, and he would never be able to completely defeat him.

The continuous anxiety is not good for the Dayu army who came from afar, not to mention that it is already October, and autumn is not far away from winter, but there are still three states after Fengzhou to reach the foot of Fengyu Mountain to the west , and took the entire Hengchuan into the bag.

This time the expedition was a fierce attack, and the consumption was huge, and the same was true for Ning Ya's side. The imperial court had to bear the consumption on both sides of the battlefield at the same time. In fact, the treasury was already stretched again, but Xie Ruzhuo didn't say it, and he didn't dare to say it.

Officials' salaries cannot be suppressed, and the expenses of the palace cannot be reduced any more. Xie Ruzhuo looks at himself in the mirror every morning when he wakes up, and he feels that he has already grown up, and the burden weighing more than a thousand catties will be lost every time he encounters such a difficult time. He was so overwhelmed that he couldn't breathe, but he couldn't speak to anyone.

Can't even say Shen Ci.

Shen Ci wanted to fight, and he couldn't let him know that the court had no money, and he couldn't let him worry about himself, so every morning, Xie Ruzhuo looked at himself in the mirror and put on a faint smile after a short period of exhaustion, just like The way I usually face everyone every day.

Knowing that Fengzhou is at a stalemate, Xie Ruzhuo is also very irritable every day. The longer the war drags on, the worse the situation will be. killing morale.

But when he heard that King Yan suddenly attacked Jiangbei, Xie Ruzhuo secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Although it would be a fatal blow to Xu Zishen, it could be said to be a turning point for Dayu.

It can only be said that Yan Wang's staff are a little clever, but they are only limited to sticking to one side. If they really want to put their eyes on the general trend of the world, they can't think long-term. They can see the interests of one side, but they can't see more. If you can't control the overall situation, you are doomed to lose more than you gain.

After waiting anxiously for five days, as expected, Dazhao Chaotang was fried.

Shen Ci, who was in Fengzhou, was also waiting for news from two parties, one was King Yan who ran to Jiangbei, and the other was the Jiangbei family who was about to be furious in Pingdu.

Recently, he was not in a hurry to fight Xu Zishen, and took the opportunity to take a rest. Xie Ruzhuo said that this would be a turning point, and it must be a turning point.

And he also found that Xu Zishen gradually lost the mood to fight. The two armies did not move in Yuping County in the past two days. Those who didn't know thought it was a handshake and made peace, and they would not interfere with each other.

Shen Ci kicked this stone by the river, picked up another stone, and wrote a letter to Xie Ruzhuo at the beginning of October, but after arriving in Fengzhou, he didn't have much time to go out to find a special stone. If I like it, I plan to send it back to Lezhou with the military newspaper next time.

This river is a big river that flows through the west of Hengchuan, called Lianjiang River. This place is in the middle reaches. Because the river course is narrow and the current is fast, there are often tides rushing to the bank, which will bring a lot of sand and stones from the bottom of the river. Shen Ci wandered around this place all morning, but he didn't see a stone that was long enough to catch the eye.

Shen Ci feels that he is not a patient person. He usually can't last three sentences when talking to people who don't like him, and he will never be able to do Tai Chi with everyone like Xie Ruzhuo. When he said three more words, he wanted to do something, so after careful calculation, he was very patient in fighting the war and finding stones for Xie Ruzhuo.

Especially when it comes to looking for stones, he is sometimes frightened by his own patience, can't believe it's really him?How could he wander around an empty river beach all morning, staring at every possible special stone until he was dizzy?

When he was about to give up, he accidentally found a stone with a smooth surface and a blue background with rare light golden lines. He squatted down to look and found that the stone was still half embedded in the river. He was not too dirty. , Go directly to dig the soil next to the stone, mixed with the cold river water to try to dig the stone up.

"General!" A young man in his early twenties came running out of breath, "Xu Zishen..."

Before he finished speaking, he stared blankly at Shen Ci digging out a huge stone from the muddy water. The stone could still be seen except for the topmost lines, but the bottom was really indescribably long. Rotten taro that has been gnawed.

Shen Ci didn't expect that the stone was so big, and it was so unbearable under its bright appearance. It was a waste of him digging in the soil for so long. He looked at the dirty stone with disgust, quickly raised his hand, and Give the river in front of you.

The stone fell into the middle of the river, causing a large splash of water, Shen Ci washed his hands, looked at the lieutenant general Qiu Ming, who stood aside without saying a word, and asked, "What's wrong with Xu Zishen? You are talking."

Although it seems that everyone in the army knows that General Shen has a hobby of picking stones, but seeing General Shen earnestly picking a dirty and ugly stone out of the soil is really unacceptable. Qiu Ming came back to his senses, cough He let out a sigh, tactfully did not mention the stone, and said: "Xu Zishen may not stay in Hengchuan for long. Pingdu has fallen out, and the Jiangbei family is forcing him to save Jiangbei."

"Didn't King Yan not move in Huaixi? Isn't it clear that he wants to negotiate terms, and the Jiangbei family won't do it?" Shen Ci frowned, "Or, Xu Zishen didn't move for a long time, but King Yan moved again?"

"It's a move. King Yan must be impatient. He just wants to force Xu Zishen to form an alliance with him. Xu Zishen has ignored him these days, so he can only continue to attack Huaixi." Qiu Ming nodded and said, "I just received it this morning. According to the news, King Yan attacked Xuzhou day and night the day before yesterday, and he took it very smoothly. The next step is Jinzhou, which is a rich place in Huaixi. Several big families in Jiangbei mainly come from Jinzhou in Huaixi and Yanzhou in Huaidong. , Now King Yan is about to attack Jinzhou, they are more anxious than King Yan."

Shen Ci couldn't help but feel sorry for Xu Zishen, and sighed: "Actually, they listened to Xu Zishen's nothing. King Yan has been consumed for so long in Ningya, and now he has left his hometown with half of the people. He is not familiar with the terrain. It is all because of The defenses in Huaixi states are indeed relatively loose, but in such an important place as Jinzhou, the defenders in the city are difficult to deal with. Whether King Yan can take it is a problem. Xu Zishen knew that King Yan did not have that ability, so he ignored him You can gather tens of thousands of troops by dispatching troops from various places in Jiangbei. After a while, when King Yan is restless in front of Jinzhou Gate, and then let the defenders in Jiangbei fight back, King Yan can't stay in Jiangbei for a long time, and he has to go back to Ningya Go and hide. The Jiangbei family is just worrying, forcing Xu Zishen to save Jiangbei now is too stupid."

"How can the Jiangbei family have such a vision? They are all short-sighted businessmen, and they have no intention of helping the people and helping the righteous. Helping Xu Zishen's rebellion is to gain power and hoard more benefits for his family." Qiu Ming said, "They don't care what's going on in Hengchuan, and they don't care about Xu Zishen's considerations. They only know that nothing can happen in their hometown. And their court is so noisy that King Yan has beaten him to the door. The Jiangbei family is afraid that they will be beaten every day." The other faction couldn't hold their heads up with ridicule, let alone let Xu Zishen be dragged here. It is not so easy to transfer troops from all over Jiangbei and then gather together to choose a personal leader. It would be faster for Xu Zishen to rescue him himself. Naturally, they stared at Xu Zishen urged."

Shen Ci shook his head: "Xu Zishen is also unlucky, with such a group of people. If he abandons Hengchuan and goes to Jiangbei now, the loss outweighs the gain."

"But Xu Zishen is gone, it's a good thing for us." Speaking of this, Qiu Ming felt very happy. After more than ten days of anxiety, the army was already in a haze, and it was boring to stay for a moment longer. He took a step closer and lowered his voice. He said, "General, and you don't think that the imperial court may be running out of money, and we will not be worth the loss if we drag it on."

Shen Ci reacted slowly to such an important matter after being reminded like this, and couldn't help frowning again, wondering if Xie Ruzhuo was too worried to eat again.

Admiring one's opponent is one thing, but the world is sometimes so cruel, and the positions are opposite, after all, it is impossible to sympathize with each other. In the end, Shen Ci still hoped that Xu Zishen would leave Hengchuan and go to Jiangbei as soon as possible, and said: "I hope that King Yan will not move again. Just do it!" It looks like we have to attack Jinzhou, and when Xu Zishen leaves, we can make a quick decision, it is best to end the war in early December, and we must return to Lezhou before the first month."

Qiu Ming said as if making a bet: "Xu Zishen will leave, and the Jiangbei family will not let him go."

The day after these words were spoken, King Yan began to attack Jinzhou.

On the third day, there was chaos in Pingdu. The Jiangbei family gathered in the Huangji Hall and refused to leave, forcing the prince to give an explanation for the emperor. The rivals of the Jiangbei family took the opportunity to add fuel and jealousy. He was ignorant, he didn't inherit his father's courage at all, he couldn't hold back the matter, if he didn't rely on Xu Zishen's personal soldiers to serve as the imperial guards, the forced palace might have already happened by now.

Playbooks were thrown in front of the prince like snowflakes, the prince could only send people to Hengchuan to find Xu Zishen, but Xu Zishen didn't want to leave, of course he also knew that Hengchuan is actually more important than Jiangbei now, if he can delay it for another month, everyone Yu's money and food are not enough, everything has a turning point.

Xu Zishen frequently wrote letters back to Beijing to appease the Jiangbei family, telling them that they would not ignore Jiangbei, and patiently explained the situation to them in detail, at least ten times or eight times, but the Jiangbei family didn't listen to a single word, and each time the trouble became more violent.

Yan Wang Yuemo also knew about the situation in Pingdu, and he felt that he had caught Xu Zishen's death spot. He kept attacking Jinzhou, and continued to seek Xu Zishen's cooperation, and said that he could help him solve the Jiangbei family in the future.

Many people in Pingdu are interested in cooperating with King Yan. They bluntly said that if Xu Zishen really does not want to save Jiangbei, he will cooperate and let King Yan retreat. Endless troubles.

When King Yan attacked Jinzhou for the third time, Pingdu was so chaotic that there were no pedestrians and vendors in the streets and alleys of the city. They were replaced by countless patrolling guards. All the military forces at hand confronted the imperial guards in the palace, and then made an impassioned speech in the Huangji Hall, scolding Xu Zishen for being ungrateful, and even a patriarch who was not dead, but the blood on his forehead was very serious. Can bluff.The Jiangbei family incited the people again, and on the second day, the entire Dazhao began to criticize their emperor. The ignorant people couldn't see the truth clearly, but they sympathized with the Jiangbei family who had been used and abandoned by the emperor.

On October [-]th, the autumn day is cold, the west wind is strong, and the river tide is high.

Xu Zishen abandoned Fengzhou and left Hengchuan.

The author has something to say: Xiao Shen: I will be a fool if I pick up rocks randomly in the future.

Xiao Xie:?

Xiao Shen: I am a fool.
