My country is dead again [Rebirth]

It is already late spring in May, but because Lezhou is located in the north, summer comes late, and there is still a spring scene in May. However, this year is dry, and there are only sporadic rains in May. The sun is shining all day long, and it is hotter than Early in previous years, it was even more uncomfortable because of the dryness.

Xie Ruzhuo read the playbook seriously in the afternoon and always forgot to drink water. As expected, his lips were a little dry and cracked, and he couldn't help biting the cracked skin, which finally made his lips ooze blood and twitch in pain gas.

He Xiaoman forced him to pour a large pot of water, and handed him a handkerchief while reporting the situation in Cangzhou: "Bai Yue and Wen Chonghui have written a memorial and returned, and General Wu has sent a letter, Yu Lin has been controlled, Pei Yunfeng In their hands. The Xishan army has surrounded the west of Cangzhou, and Wanyang is in the east. If something goes wrong, Wei Yang will stop it. Pei Yuankai hasn’t moved yet, even if there is, it won’t help.”

The bleeding lips still hurt a bit from the cold water. Xie Ruzhuo didn’t want to drink anymore, but he finished it under He Xiaoman’s indifferent gaze. I don’t understand why after a serious illness last year, even a cracked lip would be regarded as a serious health problem. question.

Seeing his pitiful look with wet eyes, He Xiaoman personally stepped forward to wipe off the water stains on the corners of his mouth and chin, and said: "Your Majesty doesn't care about his body so much. If Your Majesty keeps listening to the imperial physician, The slaves will not stare at His Majesty to drink water."

Xie Ruzhuo was afraid that he would babble endlessly, so he quickly responded: "Okay, okay, I was wrong, I will definitely drink water in the future. That... isn't it talking about Cangzhou? The words are all gone."

"Well, what do you think, Your Majesty?" He Xiaoman spread out all the notebooks, "We are waiting for the imperial court's arrangement in Cangzhou."

Xie Ruzhuo has been playing this move of the Pei family for a long time. It started from the reorganization of the guards, and it should be over by now. Combine vertical and horizontal, use coercion to be strong, and control the enemy with one move. It is simple and simple, but it is also difficult. Place, in the long-term layout, you must be patient and not have the slightest impatience. You must choose the time for each move, otherwise you may lose the whole game.

In his previous life, he actually took action a little later. In this life, whether it was the reorganization of the guard or the retreat of Cangzhou, everything was ahead of schedule, and the situation changed. The timing of his action should also be advanced. Drought, the previous life was a big blow to the Pei family, but compared with this life, many places are not mature enough, especially the Song family was sluggish after Song Qingge disappeared, and the relationship with Wu Xianrong was also very embarrassing, so he did not Take a shot, but now everything is ready, even the east wind is not owed.

"There is no arrangement." Xie Ruzhuo put away the joking expression before, and sneered, "Just one word, check."

check.

Two days after Xie Ruzhuo uttered this word, the entire territory of Cangzhou was closed. The imperial court sent six ministries and more than a dozen officials from the Metropolitan Procuratorate to Cangzhou. A Jin Yiwei was sent to command Tongzhi to take Jin Yiwei to Pei's house for a thorough investigation.

During this period of time, the Pei family was relatively peaceful. Xie Ruzhuo heard that there had been internal quarrels in the Pei family. Pei Yunfeng and some others advocated raising troops and fighting the court to the end. Pei Yunjing strongly disagreed, thinking that at this point, he should abandon the car to save the commander and fight against the court. It will only wipe out the whole army.

In the end, I don't know how Pei Yunjing persuaded Pei Yuankai, but Pei Yuankai really didn't move, allowing the Xishan Army to temporarily take over the military power on the front line, and stayed at home to cooperate with the court's investigation.

But Xie Ruzhuo did not dare to take it lightly. The strength of the Cangzhou army is obvious to all, and Pei Yuankai has always been good to them. Just as the Wanyang army is willing to be loyal to the Song family, the loyalty of the Cangzhou army to the Pei family is also real. The family was crucified in Cangzhou.

Without Song Qingge in Wanyang, no matter what, they have no backbone, and it is a little difficult to support the battlefield, and there is no way to do other things, unless Song Qingge comes back.

But counting the days, things will change in Pingdu.

"Although the battle in Linchang Mansion is still at a stalemate, it is not good for Dazhao. After passing Linchang Mansion, Pingdu will have no outer barriers. The Jiangbei family is panicked, afraid that their lives will be in Chizhou." He Xiaoman sorted out the letter. , reported, "Back when Xu Zishen was forced to rebel in Jiangbei, he took the initiative to seek help from several big families in Jiangbei. Those people saw that the imperial court was full of holes at that time, and it was indeed about to perish. They thought that helping Xu Zishen win the world could make a fortune. The one with a large pen is willing to contribute money and efforts to help Xu Zishen raise soldiers and build a court for Xu Zishen. Now that Ping is very likely to be lost, this deal will become uneconomical. Chizhou is dying, and I want to abandon Pingdu and go back to Jiangbei, or even move the capital to the south to save my life.”

It has been almost four years since the fall of Pingdu. When the city gate of Pingdu was breached, Dayu had no choice but to abandon Pingdu and move north to flee for his life. Times have changed. Dazhao, who won Pingdu, is now considering abandoning the capital. Moved south.

Xie Ruzhuo sighed: "But Xu Zishen will definitely not give up Pingdu, he will stick to Pingdu, this is his persistence and morality."

"That's why the Jiangbei family felt uncomfortable and became more and more dissatisfied with Xu Zishen." He Xiaoman said, "The letter sent back by Song Zongbing said that they found out that Hua Yangjiao had an idea behind the Jiangbei family and asked them to support the prince. Evacuating Xu Zishen's power, taking the crown prince to move south, to the south of Chizhou, or back to Jiangbei, is better than waiting to die in Pingdu. The Jiangbei family has recently released such rumors in the court, and it may be time to act."

This is still a familiar trend, Xie Ruzhuo was not surprised, and said: "This is a last resort for Hua Yangjiao. People like Xu Zishen can't bear the villain who is full of tricks and treachery. As long as Xu Zishen is around, Hua Don't expect Yang Jie to have a place in Dazhao's court, he can only be a shady aide. But once the Jiangbei family supports the prince and gets rid of Xu Zishen, he will be a great hero and can show his talents."

"Yes." He Xiaoman said, "The Jiangbei family only do things that are beneficial to themselves. It is really not worthwhile to quarrel with Xu Zishen and even his opponents in order to help Hua Yangjiao get an official position in the court, so The Jiangbei family has not expressed anything to Hua Yangjiao for so long, although they treat him with courtesy, they only treat him as an aide."

Xie Ruzhuo shook his head: "If you do many unrighteous actions, you will die yourself."

"The old officials in Pingdu always opposed whatever the Jiangbei family supported, just like the Jiangbei family wanted to send Hua Yangjiao to the court, but Xu Zishen disagreed, so they disagreed. But this matter is too big, they still I dare not make up my mind." He Xiaoman flipped through the letter sent by Zhabusu again, "Looking at what they mean, they probably want to stand still, not stand on either side, and be a fool. At that time, the Jiangbei family will really have something to do , they moved south with the Jiangbei family. After all, they used to be the ministers of Dayu, and later they surrendered to Dazhao. When Dayu took back Pingdu, even if they were not killed, they would not be able to keep them in the court. We still had to find a way out. But if If the Jiangbei family failed, but Xu Zishen had the upper hand, then they will rely on Xu Zishen to stand again."

Xie Ruzhuo didn't sleep for a while at noon, Xie Ruzhuo seemed a little tired, closed his eyes and rubbed the center of his brow a few times, said "um", He Xiaoman put down the letter in his hand, stood behind him and helped him gently press his temple, his voice softened: " Your Majesty, Song Zongbing wants to take advantage of the chaos in Pingdu, what does Your Majesty mean?"

Xie Ruzhuo closed his eyes and rested for a while, then opened them again, his tiredness was gone, and he said coldly, "If you don't make a move now, when will you wait? It just so happens that Cangzhou is waiting for him."

Song Qingge, who was in Pingdu, received a letter from Jingzhong a few days later. At this time, Pingdu was full of turmoil, and there was no one on the street. Xu Zishen took away the military talisman for mobilizing the Beijing camp, but the Jiangbei family still took the prince and queen hostage to transfer out The soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp were sent out, and the Beijing camp was dispatched, and the inside and outside of the palace city were already full of rain.

After the Beijing camp soldiers and horses rushed into Minzhou, Xu Zishen reorganized the Beijing camp, and transferred some of his most trusted direct line troops back to Beijing in order to deal with emergencies, which would naturally come in handy.

Thirty percent of the soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp did not listen to the order of the prince and the Jiangbei family, but stayed in the Beijing camp with Xu Zishen's direct lineal army, and wanted to fight a battle with the Jiangbei family.

Xu Zishen on the front line naturally also received the news that there will be chaos in Beijing, and the movement has become a secret. He may not have returned, or he may be on the way back, and he will suddenly appear to intercept the Jiangbei family.

Everyone in Pingdu knew that a war between the emperor and the Jiangbei family was destined to start again.

Song Qingge has been in Pingdu for nearly a year, and has been living with Zabusu in the backyard of a cloth shop. He usually lives reclusively, and usually does not go out casually. If he needs to inquire about news, it is Zabusu's people who go out. Sometimes Zabusu I will go out myself.

This fourth prince is not only good at fighting, but also like a fish in water in the business field. His appearance and standard Central Plains mandarin completely conceal the fact that he is a foreigner. The business route in his hand has been in business for ten years, and he has long been in the territory of Dayu The suspicious elements are washed away, and the background is clean no matter how you check it.

After Zhabusu got involved in the cloth business in Pingdu, he improved a lot in a year, and because of this, he got acquainted with several prominent officials in the court. , there is no one he can't handle, and it's easy to find out about unjust things.

One year is a bit long, but Song Qingge is very calm. Instead of returning to Beijing with troubles, it is better to wait for the best time to return to Beijing to fight back and get back everything that belongs to the Song family. Resting in peace allowed him to heal all the injuries on his body. He has rarely had such a relaxing day in so many years, and he thinks it's good to have it once in a while.

Zhabusu and his subordinates went out for a trip that day and came back. Seeing their outfits, they were very sneaky. Guess it was an adventure to find out the news.

"When are Lu Jin and the others going to do it?" Song Qingge pushed a large pot of water that had cooled down on the table, "If you don't do it, Xu Zishen will be back soon, and then there will be no chance at all."

Zhabusu was exhausted enough, wiped off the sweat from his face, drank three glasses of water, and said, "You won't be allowed to enter or leave, you will be interrogated on the street, and you can walk ten steps if you go out." I was interrogated three times, and I got annoyed later, and led someone back from the roof, and I was exhausted."

Song Qingge was used to being serious and smiling, and would only twitch the corner of his mouth when encountering funny things, and said, "Are you looking for Lu Jin?"

"Yes, I have to ask for some definite information." Zhabusu said, "I got a business with the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Their family was with the Lu family. They were not considered a big family in Jiangbei, because He did well in front of Lu Jin, but after coming to Pingdu, his son and I had a good chat before. I went to him and told him that I wanted to find out about the situation in Pingdu. I don’t know how the business is going. Can it be done, and whether it is necessary to move south.”

"How did he say?"

"I didn't make it very clear." Zhabusu whispered, "But what is certain is that it is either tonight or tomorrow night."

Song Qingge frowned and said, "So fast?"

"I heard that it was Hua Yangjiao who asked Lu Jin to hurry up. As you said, Xu Zishen is on his way as expected. Even if Hua Yangjiao wants to fight for himself, he must do it before Xu Zishen comes." Zha Busu was not nervous at all, "Then let's prepare too."

For this rare opportunity, they have been preparing for at least half a year, and there is really nothing to be nervous about. Song Qingge poured himself a glass of water, knocked on the teacup in front of Zhabusu, and said, "Tingyan, thank you Si Take care of the prince this year."

Zhabusu also poured a glass of water, and replied: "General Song, you are being polite. Congratulations to General Song for returning to Dayu, and clearing away the Song family's grievances."

This year Zhabusu helped him keep an eye on Hua Yangjia's movements, and he also paid attention to Beidi every day. Song Qingge said again: "Pingdu is done, and the fourth prince is going to do a big job if he wants to come?"

"Speaking of which, I would also like to thank General Shen for abolishing Ajinai's hand. Although it is the left hand, it is really a shame for us Beidi people." Zhabusu smiled lightly, "Because of this matter, I originally supported Some of his people have been shaken instead, and my father Khan doesn't like him as much as before. Besides, he can no longer draw a bow and shoot arrows without using one hand, and he is not as good as before on the battlefield. Father Khan has already planned Support my fifth younger brother's idea, I am not in a hurry to go back, let them set a fire first, let them fight with each other."

Song Qingge suddenly realized that this was a game, let the two younger brothers fight for life and death first, and said, "What does the fourth prince think about Hu and Lu's Dayan?"

In Zhabusu's eyes, it was rare to see the ferocity of a wolf, as well as the confidence of a winner, and said: "There can only be one wolf king on the grassland."

"Okay, then I hope the fourth prince will get what he wants." Song Qingge blesses expressionlessly, "Whether I can take off my armor and return to the fields for the rest of my life depends on you."

Zabusu: "..."

How can there be a feeling of sadness that I have worked so hard that it is cheaper for others in the end.

They made all the preparations that night. The first half of the night was calm and nothing happened. They thought that Lu Jin would finally choose tomorrow, but they didn't expect that the city would suddenly be in chaos in the second half of the night.

When the sound of horseshoes sounded, and there was noise in the city that had been dead all day, everyone quickly put on their robes, Song Qingge and Zabusu looked at each other, nodded, and took advantage of the night to leave from two directions. Door.

Many people in the city woke up from their sleep, the lights were on in every house, and even the courtiers left their houses in the middle of the night to look for people everywhere. Apart from the cavalry running past, there were many people on the street, intertwined into chaotic footsteps , they are not inconspicuous mixed in.

Song Qingge went to the alley above Lu Jin's mansion first, and watched the people and horses coming and going on the street quietly in the shadows. Someone patted his shoulder, and Zhabusu who came from another direction said softly: "It is said that Xu Zishen stayed behind. The soldiers and horses under the ground moved first. I don't know if it was Xu Zishen's order. Anyway, Lu Jin had no choice but to fight, and the fight broke out in the middle of the night without warning. Now the soldiers and horses are walking towards the palace. Xu Zishen's people want to To prevent Lu Jin and the others from taking the prince and queen away, a bloody battle is inevitable."

"Where is Lu Jin?" Song Qingge glanced at the brightly lit, seemingly messy Lu Mansion, "Whether Hua Yangjie is with him or..."

Zhabusu listened to the movements around him, pressed the knife on his waist, and said: "My people have gone to investigate, some important figures of the Jiangbei family are holding the treasure of the prince in the palace during the day, and Lu Jin must have gone too. The others are preparing to leave Pingdu with the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp. It seems that the meaning of the Jiangbei family is to kidnap the prince and queen out of the palace, and then take the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp to escape. It seems that they did not see Hua Yangjiao, maybe Still in the mansion, the palace is full of dignified people, even a staff member like him can't get on the stage at this time."

Song Qingge nodded slightly and said, "Then follow the original plan?"

Zhabusu had replaced his cavalry with caravans and came into the city earlier, because his appearance was quite different from that of the people from the Central Plains, so he hid in another vacant house on weekdays, and there were quite a few Han Chinese caravans in Zhabusu Experts, they all came out together today. He glanced at the cavalry running past on the street and said, "Well, go and lure Xu Zishen's people here first."

The two of them didn't speak any more, Song Qingge retreated into the alley, completely submerged in the darkness, and stopped with a few people at the place closest to the gate of Lu Mansion.

The various voices outside the alley became more and more chaotic, and someone shouted: "The prince is in Lu Jin's residence! Not in the palace!"

Amidst countless reining in and shouting, Zhabusu, wearing the armor of soldiers from the Beijing camp, rode his horse past the alley, whistled to them, and rushed to the main gate of Lu Mansion with the soldiers swarming behind him.

Standing at the back door, he could already hear that the mansion was in a mess. Zhabusu made people shout and attracted some of Xu Zishen's people. He really thought that Lu Jin, who controlled the palace city, had sent the prince out of the palace long ago. Hide in your own house.

The cries of women and children came from the mansion. Some people ran to the back door in a panic, as if they wanted to escape. Song Qingge's eyes darkened, and he led someone to break in. The person who was about to rush out saw the man with a knife A group of people broke in, screamed in fright, ran back again, and collided with the people running here again, the figures were chaotic for a while, and the ears were so noisy.

Song Qingge walked towards the mansion avoiding the flow of people, and met a guard who was busy fleeing for his life, and asked, "Where is Mr. Hua?"

The guard was busy running, when he heard someone's voice suddenly, he was taken aback, glanced at him, but couldn't tell the difference between the enemy and us, so he subconsciously replied: "Mr. It seems to have escaped."

Song Qingge nodded, and politely said "Thank you", before disappearing in a flash.

Turning around the house where Hua Yangjiao lived, the most convenient way to go was by the rockery in the west. Without much hesitation, he turned around and walked there, gestured to the others, and counted people from Scattered in all directions, the outflanking route blocked the entire road to the west.

On the gravel road, there were many servants of the mansion who followed the crowd at a loss. They quickly found a tall, thin man in a hood who was in a hurry. Compared with the others, he seemed to be quite calm. None of them looked like they were trying to escape.

Song Qingge approached slowly without a sound, and suddenly drew the knife at a corner, and before the other party could react, the knife was pinned to his neck.

"Mr. Hua, long time no see." Song Qingge took him step by step back into the shadow of the corner, and said coldly, "The grounds are in chaos, Mr. Hua should go back to Lezhou with me."
