King's Landing [Rebirth]

The weather was getting colder and colder. Wang Shuzhi stood on the top of the Shogunate Mountain and saw thick white fog covering the river. He looked up and couldn't see anything clearly. He knew it was far away, so he still came here every day, just to think about it.

"The heavier the cold, the more unfavorable it is for our Jin army! If we can't win the battle quickly, it will be difficult to win this battle." When he spoke, bursts of white air came out of his mouth, blurring his vision.

Pei Liang knew that he was not only worried about the war, but also about Sima Rong's safety. Seeing that he worked hard every day and lost weight during the season when he was supposed to be fattening up, he couldn't bear to stand beside him and pretend to be a stake.

"Prime Minister, it's freezing cold, you should go down the mountain earlier. If His Royal Highness finds out that the Prime Minister doesn't take care of his body, he will be annoyed when he comes back."

Wang Shuzhi smacked his lips, gathered the cloak on his body, turned around reluctantly, and obediently went down the mountain.

As soon as he led his entourage back on his horse and was about to go back home, he saw a horse galloping towards him: "Report——!"

Wang Shuzhi's expression changed, and he immediately tensed up.

The person and horse in front were all so tired that their heads were smoking, and the person on the horse jumped off in a hurry, knelt down on one knee, gasped and said: "Prime Minister, great victory in the north!" He said and presented a secret letter with both hands.

Wang Shuzhi suddenly felt suffocated and couldn't speak. He gestured and pointed towards the gate, and then got off his horse.

Pei Liang understood, took the secret letter, followed him into the gate of the shogunate, and ran straight to the meeting hall.

Xie Zhuo adopted Sima Rong's suggestion, turned from defense to offense, and then discussed with the generals how to defeat the enemy.

On the one hand, a small number of troops were arranged to meet the enemy in a detour from the front, and bluffed to confuse the enemy, making Fu Guang mistakenly believe that there were hundreds of thousands of troops.

On the other hand, two armies were sent to intersperse from the left and right, encircling the army of Fu Guang's direct lineage, and at the same time, they used the strategy of alienation to defeat the other tribes one by one.

Fu Guang's large army was assembled in a hurry, not only because of discord, but also because of disobedience. A little provocation caused a fire in the backyard. In the end, the front was still fighting, and the rear scattered and retreated. Called back.

After Li Ding died of illness, Fu Guang didn't have such a suitable person to guard him. In addition, he was proud of himself and thought that he had a chance to win. Unexpectedly, after finally facing the main force of the Jin army, someone came to report: Murong Ye turned his back on the battlefield and rushed to kill him in his backyard.

Fu Guang was startled and furious, thinking that Li Ding had repeatedly told Murongye not to reuse Murongye when he was about to die, but he himself did not listen to the advice. Now it was too late to regret, and he almost sprayed blood on the battlefield.

There is a fire in the backyard, should we continue to fight against the Jin army, or should we go back to fight the fire first?

The counselor on the left said: The Jin army is vulnerable, it is better to take Jiangnan first, and then fight back.

The counselor on the right said: Don't lose the mountains and rivers in the north, you must first go back and protect the foundation before discussing other things.

Although Fu Guang's head ached because the news came too suddenly, he was not a fatuous and incompetent person, so he immediately made a decisive decision to return to Chang'an and kill Murongye.

It's just that he never expected that the so-called main force of the Jin army was just bluffing, and there were not many troops in reality. On the contrary, he was ambushed on the way back and surrounded by the two wings of the Jin army.

Fu Guang was eager to fight the fire, but he didn't love to fight when he was plotted against, and only wanted to break through.

Xie Zhuo had already made up his mind, naturally the poor would not pursue him, not to mention that with his own strength, it would be impossible to block him to death.

In the end, the Jin army won a complete victory, and Fu Guang returned to the capital in a hurry, and he had to fight hard with other tribes.

After reading the secret report, Wang Shuzhi laughed loudly: "According to Fu Guang's temperament, even if he wins the battle when he goes back, he will probably get seriously ill from anger."

Zhao Changshi nodded and looked at the secret report with a smile: "Fu Guang managed to appease the tribes, but now it seems that chaos is about to happen again. No matter how brave the Hu people are, they have no time to look south for a while."

"That's right! It would be even better if the north once again fell into a situation of fragmentation and self-government!" Wang Shuzhi was full of smiles, and at the same time he was greatly relieved.

Pei Liang leaned close to his ear and reminded him in a low voice: "The emperor should get the news soon, is the prime minister returning to the city now?"

The shogunate has its own sources of information, even faster than the emperor's. It's just that this matter cannot be explained to outsiders, and it is natural to pretend not to know in front of the emperor.

Wang Shuzhi counted the time and knew that the battle report was about to be submitted to the emperor's desk. He was afraid that the ministers of civil and military affairs would be summoned soon, so Shi Shiran stood up and rode back to the mansion.

"Great victory in the north! The Qin army is defeated! The north is a great victory! The Qin army is retreating!" Holding up the news of the victory, the horseshoes kicked up dust, and galloped towards the palace all the way into the city gate.

The people were all rejoiced when they heard it, and it was a lot of fun.

In the palace, the emperor looked at the battle strategy, the number of casualties of soldiers, and the number of enemy losses stated in detail in the victory report. Longyan was very happy and applauded.

Hearing the news, all the officials who rushed to the palace congratulated one after another, and flattered the emperor fiercely by the way.

One person repeatedly praised: "Thanks to the presence of His Royal Highness and General Xie this time, His Royal Highness planned strategies, and General Xie was even more courageous and resourceful. The two of them are perfect together, and they can repel the enemy without fail! Really! It's...really..." It seems that I can't find the right words to describe it, and I look quite excited.

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was silent.

No matter how it sounds, something is wrong...

Wang Shuzhi glanced at it, and it turned out to be another old man from Wang Yi's side.

Everyone is not a fool, and the credit is all credited to these two people. How do the other generals feel?Listening to such provocations with the meaning of "high meritorious deeds", can the emperor really clear his mind?

In fact, the Emperor Wushi has been taking too much powder, and he is most afraid of being overly emotional. Now that he is so excited, his mind is really a little unclear, and there are benefits of being unclear. Not showing the yin and yang in the old man's words, he just nodded cheerfully.

The old man pinched his beard, momentarily unable to see whether his words had any effect.

Wang Shuzhi winked, and someone stood up immediately: "Master Zhao's words are very true. It is because of the emperor's sage that today's complete victory can be achieved! Whether it is the crown prince, or Xie, Wang, Huan and other capable generals, all of them are in good hands. Only by relying on the emperor's Tianwei can we successfully repel the barbarians! Long live the emperor!"

Whenever Wang Shuzhi needed to risk his face and try his best to flatter the emperor, nine out of ten times he asked this person to speak up, not afraid to smear his mouth with honey, but afraid that the honey would not be sweet enough.The courtiers were already used to his face, even though they had goosebumps all over their bodies, they didn't take it seriously.

The emperor blushed when he heard this, and nodded again and again: "They are all my good ministers, good! The army will make a triumphant return soon, and it's time to prepare rewards for meritorious deeds!"

Wang Shuzhi looked at his expression and let out a deep breath.

The beard of the old man on King Yi's side shook, knowing that it would be useless to say more at this time, so he reluctantly stopped talking.

The court was boiling, and so was the army.

Repelling the Hu people is something to be proud of, but winning more with less is even more so happy that you can't sleep at night. This is the first time in the history of Dajin.

Xie Zhuo made arrangements for the defense of the town, brought his generals and accompanied Sima Rong to live in the local state capital, planning to take a short break before withdrawing his troops back to Beijing.

Sima Rong finally relaxed, said a few words to his uncle, and then brought him hot water for a bath.

As soon as Sima Rong left, Wang Yu knocked on Xie Zhuo's door.

This battle was handed over to Xie Zhuoquan. He was already full of anger, but he didn't dare to underestimate the enemy when facing the barbarians. Can't wait to grow to the bottom of the foot.

Xie Zhuo saw that his face was full of clouds, so he didn't take it seriously, and smiled quite freely.

Wang Yu went straight to the point: "Now that there is enough food and grass, we should take advantage of this great opportunity to continue the Northern Expedition. How can we stop here?!"

Xie Zhuo poured tea with a flick of his sleeve, and said leisurely: "This victory is already a fluke, we can't rush northward, and the barbarians are not fools. If we fight over again, will they realize the crisis and unite again?"

"They've turned their backs a long time ago! How can they just agree?"

"Not necessarily. Murong Ye can bend and stretch, and Fu Guang can be regarded as a generation of heroes. If the north is not protected, what are they fighting for? Naturally, we must unite first. Our countermeasures can only work temporarily. It is not so easy for them to completely turn their backs."

Wang Yu fought hard and even persuaded other generals to put pressure together, but Xie Zhuo was always calm, and the two sides broke up unhappy.

Before Sima Rong left, he saw a piece of Wang Yu's clothes at the corner, and vaguely guessed his intention, but because he trusted Xie Zhuo, he didn't want to bother to pay attention to it, so he went back to his room, took off his clothes, Step into the barrel with only obscene pants on.

The water was covered with petals, Sima Rong looked at the corners of the petals' mouths twitching, and thought of the flattering look on the eunuch's face, he was quite speechless.

But when he was in the prime minister's mansion, Wang Shuzhi once had a whim and ordered someone to sprinkle flower petals in the pond to tease him on purpose.

Sima Rong couldn't help laughing when he thought of how embarrassing and angry he was, and raised his hand to gently push away the petals in front of him, as if he could see those smiling eyes shining brightly in the water.

The ripples on the water surface swayed slightly, revealing a vague face.

The smile on Sima Rong's lips gradually faded, his eyes narrowed slightly and he leaned against the wall of the barrel, his right hand dipped into the water and lifted his trousers, and slowly pulled out the dagger tied to his leg.
