Peerless Pirates

Li Xi's worries are not unfounded. Read the full story of Rogue Love. As early as mid-September, the entire Shu Kingdom issued an order to send troops to assist Guanzhong, planning to mobilize 80,000 Shu troops. Among them, 30,000 vanguard troops will arrive in Hanzhong. Disperse the customs and then aid Chang'an.

At that time, Jin and Qi were jointly tackling the key problem. In the face of the "righteousness" of the party members, Li Xi had to write a letter to Emperor Lang Zhengchun of the Shu Kingdom, expressing his invitation to the Shu Kingdom for reinforcements, and also stated that he would send troops from the Shu Kingdom to relieve the difficulties of Chang'an. .

At that time, Li Xi's mood was extremely complicated. He was not only afraid that after the Qi army captured Chang'an, its troops would move westward and aim at him; he was also afraid that reinforcements from Shu would come and occupy his territory. It would be easier to pray for gods than to send them away.

Fortunately, Li Yuandan was indeed the one who had the upper hand in the internal fighting in Xixia, and he withstood the Qi army's attack. Later, the Qi army finally invaded Yiguan and Tongguan, but faced Chang'an Fort. Until Chang'an The city was broken and it was defended for nearly four months. It can be said that it was not tenacious.

On the other hand, although the Shu Kingdom has decided to send troops, the operation efficiency is extremely slow. Maozhou, Mianzhou, Jianzhou and other places in the northern part of the Shu Kingdom are all concentrating their forces on the northernmost Lizhou, and their troops are pointed at the front. The center of Hanzhong----Xingyuan Mansion. However, the Shu army never set foot outside Lizhou.

The reason for this is that firstly, there are different opinions within the Shu Kingdom on sending troops. Even the ministers who agree with sending troops also have doubts about whether to go to Chang'an City to fight the Qi army. The second reason is naturally that there is no need to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. means. In fact, the kings and ministers of the Shu Kingdom have a bottom line - the Qi army cannot capture Dasan Pass, which is the throat of Sichuan and Shaanxi. The premise here is that the Shu Kingdom has regarded Xingyuan Mansion as its own territory.

Song Zheng knew the mentality of the Shu Kingdom very well. In the past two months, Song Zheng had not left the post house, but he often went to Huixian Tower in the center of the post house. He would either drink alone or invite Yuan Hao to ask questions. Drink. Huixian Building has the latest Di Di newspaper, and Song Zheng has a basic understanding of things outside. In addition, Zhang Chong often lends Song Zheng the name to buy books, and goes outside to get some more real information from Wang Ruoxiong. Song Zheng Zheng was well aware of the situation at the top of the Shu Kingdom.

Song Zheng is not worried about Da Qi's war situation. The harder the Qi army fights, the more Shu needs to maintain a dialogue channel with Da Qi, and the safer Song Zheng will be. Unless the Shu army and Qi army really fight together , completely broke his face, otherwise Song Zheng did not feel that he was in any danger. In wars, when one party is not sure of completely annihilating the other party, it often has to be resolved through negotiation in the end.

Although he was trapped, Song Zheng lived a leisurely life, quite like Jiang Taigong sitting on the Diaoyutai. Previously, he was quite the limelight in Chengdu Mansion. Although the literati could not enter the post house to communicate with Song Zheng, they could You can submit letters to Song Zheng. Some are about poetry and essays, some are asking Song Zheng for advice, some are proudly launching challenges, and so on.

For those who were somewhat competent, Song Zheng wrote a reply in his own hand and sang peace with them. As for those who were boastful and had nothing to say, Song Zheng directly asked Zhang Chong to use them as kindling.

Of course, there were also some ladies and socialites who sent letters to Song Zheng under pseudonyms. One of them, "Gui Ying Jushi", was very talented and the poems he wrote were clear and natural, which greatly impressed Yuan Haowen who saw the poems. .

Under the control of Yuan Haowen, the wall on the west side of the entrance of the posthouse was opened as a "poetry wall", which was specially used to publish poems sung by Song Zheng and Shu literati.

The "Poetry Wall" is more than four feet long and is painted with white ash. Every time Song Zheng wrote a poem, it was posted on the wall. The upper left corner of the "Poetry Wall" is specially posted with poems sung by Song Zheng and "Gui Ying Jushi" , the most eye-catching. Every poem has comments by Yuan Haowen, making Yuan Haowen's name rise with the tide.

Since the opening of the "Poetry Wall", many people have come to watch it every day. Not only scholars, officials and bachelors, but also young ladies from rich families, brothel singers, and even traffickers and servants will come to take a look and learn a few lines of poetry. Go to a foreign country to show off.

After repeated visits, this place actually became the most popular tourist attraction, so much so that people in Chengdu talked about the "Poetry Wall" in addition to sending troops. This was quite a spectacle. The Shu State sent troops to target the Qi State, and with the "Poetry Wall" "The person who stole the limelight was the envoy of Qi."

Of course, not everyone was accustomed to Song Zheng. Guo Jingzhai, the enshrinement of the Hanlin Academy, wrote a letter asking the emperor to ban the posting of poems outside the post house and to demolish the "poetry wall". However, this suggestion was immediately accused of taking the opportunity to retaliate. Guo Jingzhai was even accused of being narrow-minded and not up to the important task of enshrining the Hanlin Academy.

All in all, Chengdu became more lively because of Song Zheng. Even though Song Zheng was locked up in the post house and couldn't get out, his reputation became even louder. From the emperor's nobles to the street vendors, everyone knew about Song Xiaolang. Talk about Song Xiaolang.

For Song Zheng, all these are means to protect himself. The more famous his reputation is, the greater the pressure from public opinion will be when the top officials of the Shu Kingdom deal with him, and the harder it will be to attack him. The latest chapter of Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms.

In the early morning of the last day of November, Song Zheng practiced the Panlong Sword Stick in the backyard of Ziqiyuan for an hour, and then returned to the house. Zhang Chong brought breakfast in and brought the latest issue of the Di newspaper.

Song Zheng took a general glance and frowned. There was a report from Lizhou Zhizhou, Shangyun, Xixia Li Xi asked Shu for food aid, and said that the snow disaster in Longyou and Guanzhong was very serious, and the people were in dire straits.

"Are we, Qi, going to be defeated again?" Song Zheng was worried. Chang'an City is a fortified city, and although the Qi army surrounded the city, it was almost impossible for the Qi army to capture it in this cold winter.

If the Qi army fails, Qi's current situation will become very bad, and it will be more difficult for the little emperor to control it.

Zhang Chong said at the side, "Sir, I will go to the bookstore later to see if there are any books that you need."

Song Zheng hummed, "Tell Wang Ruoxiong that I really need news from Guanzhong and let him work harder."

"What about Miss Su?"

"There is no news for such a long time. He must be locked up in a very secret place by Jiang Kui and cannot be found by ordinary means. Let him let this matter go and focus on Guanzhong."

Zhang Chong nodded, turned around and went out. As soon as he reached the front yard, he walked across from Yuan Haowen who had hurried in.

"Where is your young master?" Yuan Haowen asked anxiously.

"We're having breakfast in the backyard. Mr. Yuan, do you have any instructions?"

"Nothing, you go." Yuan Haowen waved his hand, and as soon as he took a step forward, he suddenly turned around and said, "Zhang Chong, don't leave yet. Watch the door to the backyard first. After I go in, Don't let anyone in."

Zhang Chong was stunned and curled his lips secretly. It seemed that Yuan Haowen was just an envoy of Dai Jin and had no right to use him. Seeing Yuan Haowen trotting all the way to the backyard, Zhang Chong hesitated for a moment and obeyed the order to guard the door of the backyard. .

"Xiao Lang, Xiao Lang." Yuan Haowen called out loudly as soon as he entered the backyard.

Song Zheng put down his newspaper, straightened his clothes, and stood up. Before he could reach the door of the house, Yuan Haowen burst in.

"Brother Yu, what's wrong with you?"

"Chang'an City is broken!"

"Ah?" Song Zheng was startled. Before he could figure out how the Qi army broke through the city, he heard another sentence that shocked him: "Prince Pang Hui of your country is gone."

"What?" Song Zheng felt his scalp tingle. He stepped forward and grabbed Yuan Haowen's arms, "Yuan Yuzhi, what are you talking about?"

Yuan Haowen grinned in pain, "Xiao Lang, let go quickly, my arm is about to break."

"Chang'an is broken? The prince is gone?" Song Zheng still didn't realize it. These two news were so shocking that they reached his ears at the same time, making Song Zheng's mind a little confused.

Poor Yuan Haowen, who had no strength to restrain the chicken, was now unable to hold back and wailed. In desperation, he hurriedly raised his legs, trying to kick Song Zheng away first. Song Zheng subconsciously turned to one side and used He pushed his shoulder forward and bumped into Yuan Haowen's chest. Yuan Haowen let out an ouch and took a few steps back, and was about to sit on the threshold.

Song Zheng also reacted and hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Yuan Haowen's front. Without even bothering to apologize, Song Zheng asked quickly, "Brother Yu, what's going on?"

Yuan Haowen slapped Song Zheng's wrist on his chest and said angrily, "I just got the news that the Qi army captured Chang'an City on November 24th. In the afternoon, Prince Pang stood in front of the Xixia Palace in Chang'an City. Die laughing."

"The prince is dead?" Song Zheng's heart tightened, he took a few steps back and sat down on the chair, "How could he be dead? How could it be so fast?"

"My condolences." Seeing Song Zheng's appearance, Yuan Haowen patted Song Zheng's shoulder and sighed.

Song Zheng sat numbly on the chair and fell into deep thought. Song Zheng knew that Pang Hui did not live long. However, he did not expect that he would die on the front line like this.

Song Zheng had very complicated feelings about Pang Hui. He had always regarded Pang Hui as his enemy, and he approached Pang Hui just to kill him faster. For this reason, Song Zheng also gave Pang Hui a big smoking gun. Pang Hui was so early Death must be attributed to Song Zheng.

However, Song Zheng also had to admit that Pang Hui had helped him. Without Pang Hui's protection, Huang Song would not have let him go so easily. Although Song Zheng believed that what Pang Hui had done was enough to offset the other party's The kindness. But people are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless? The death of Pang Hui made Song Zheng feel lost.

Another reason for Song Zheng's loss of consciousness is that without Pang Hui's restraint, the old fox in Jiangning City who has been unable to hide himself will definitely come to the forefront. Song Zheng is very worried about such a person with ulterior motives.

Yuan Haowen sat and waited for a while. Seeing that Song Zheng still didn't respond, he had to say, "Xiao Lang, if your guess is correct, you will be able to leave the post house soon. You can take care of yourself. I'll leave first."

Song Zheng shook his head, took a deep breath, clasped his fists and said, "Maybe. I have to thank Brother Yu for this trip, I will take you out."

"Forget it, I won't bother you anymore." Yuan Haowen waved his hands repeatedly and walked out of the door.

Song Zheng sent him to the courtyard. When he saw Zhang Chong, he ordered him to guard the courtyard gate. Then he returned to the house, picked up a pen, and started sketching on the paper.

The city of Chang'an was destroyed and Pang Hui died. The Qi army achieved a narrow victory in this war. However, the support of the Qi state for this war should have reached the extreme, and they were unable to knock on the pass and disperse the pass. Next, the Qi army After recuperating, Jiangning City will reshuffle its cards.

What should you do yourself?
