Peerless Pirates

In the Palace of the King of Shu, Daye Hall, Lang Zhengchun enthusiastically wrote what was written in the "Red Pine Tree Commandments" and read it in full. However, this "Red Pine Tree Commandments" was not the one sent by the Kingdom of Jin. The collector's edition is a new sutra copied by Lang Zhengchun himself. Lang Zhengchun not only copied the original sutra, but also made annotations on it.

When Song Zheng met him at the beginning, he said that he could make an "imperial copy of the "Red Pine Seed Commandments"", which could be passed down to future generations and benefit future generations. Lang Zhengchun followed his good deeds, and he copied it carefully during this period, and also used small regular script. Make annotations on it. While annotating, I am still imagining how future generations will worship when they see this imperial approval book.

Lang Zhengchun was indeed very happy, not only because of the scriptures, but also because the affairs in Hanzhong were going smoothly. As long as Hanzhong was occupied, the Shu Kingdom would completely block the north gate, and he would be more at ease from now on. Even if Dajin, Daqi, and Xixia conquered Qin The land of Long was in turmoil, and he no longer took part in the affairs of Shu.

Since the death of Pang Hui, the Kingdom of Shu has accelerated its march. With Liang Yiyue as deputy commander, the dignified second prince Lang Boyan was sent to supervise the army. With an army of 70,000, Li Xi couldn't help but say something else.

As soon as Pang Hui died, Li Xi hurriedly sent people to Chengdu and sent a message to Lang Zhengchun, saying that Da Qi had stopped invading the west and the crisis was a little relieved, and asked Shu to postpone sending troops. Unfortunately, Shu was already on the verge of an arrow. They immediately dispatched troops and upped the ante: all the garrison troops from the northern Shu states were dispatched, and most of the troops guarding Chengdu Prefecture were mobilized. Fifteen thousand troops were even transferred from Kuizhou and diverted to northern Sichuan.

The current situation of Da Qi made it impossible to use troops externally, so Shu boldly transferred troops from Kuizhou. Its determination to win Hanzhong was clearly revealed.

Since most of Li Xi's military strength was deployed near Dashan Pass, the garrison forces in Hanzhong states were very small. Sanquan, Zhenfu, and Xingdao cities each had no more than a thousand people. The dignified Xingyuan Mansion, the capital of Hanzhong, had only Three thousand troops were left, most of them old, weak, sick and disabled.

Before Lang Zhengchun wrote the scriptures, he had just received news from the front that the main force of the Shu army had occupied Sanquan and entered Xingzhou. The road was unimpeded. As long as they occupied Shunzheng, Changju, and Hechi along the way, the entire Hanzhong would be sealed. Inside, Xingyuan Mansion and Yangzhou cannot be conquered without attacking. By then, the Qinling Mountains will truly become a barrier to the north of Shu. As long as the Shu army is not too bad, even if three or four times the number of enemies come to attack, they may not be able to invade.

Although Lang Zhengchun likes to be a Taoist priest, he is still very happy to be able to save a good foundation for his children and grandchildren. He is in a good mood, his mind works quickly, he annotates scriptures with high spirits, and his thoughts are flowing like a fountain.

"Master Sheng, Mr. Jiang has something urgent to ask for," the young eunuch interrupted inappropriately.

"Huh? Let him in." Lang Zhengchun was in a good mood and did not blame the young eunuch.

The young eunuch hurriedly turned around and announced that Jiang Kui had come in. After saluting and greetings, Jiang Kui reported, "Your Majesty, our Palace Guards seized two people in Kuizhou ten days ago, and they were all done carefully by Daqi. One could not bear the punishment, so he bit his tongue and committed suicide, while the other An astonishing news was revealed. Da Qi Yousi sent a dozen craftsmen to the Chengdu Mansion in secret for Song Zheng to dispatch. Feeling that they were involved because of their humble position, they were afraid that they might have evil intentions, so they came here to report to the Holy One."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Lang Zhengchun was stunned at first, then smiled, "Why are there only ten people? There is a dignified envoy, but there is only one guard with him. Even if there are hundreds of people accompanying him, it will not be enough. many."

"Song Zheng came to Shu as the envoy of Qi, so he could have brought more guards and accompanying people. However, he deliberately showed weakness and came to Shu alone, and secretly summoned people to come. I think that Song Zheng is so sneaky, he must You have no good intentions, so you must check it out. The Holy Father has summoned Song Zheng several times to discuss the scriptures, and it is really dangerous." Jiang Kui knelt on the ground, his tone was extremely sincere.

Lang Zhengchun glanced at him and chuckled, "Master Jiang seems to have some prejudice against this Song Xiaolang. Before Song Xiaolang arrived in Chengdu, you said that he was greedy for money, lustful, succumbing to flattery, cruel and evil, and you said that Jiangning people are against His talk turned so pale that I thought Song Xiaolang was a yaksha ghost with three heads and six arms, but he turned out to be a handsome young man."

"Your Majesty, please don't be fooled by this boy's appearance. He is good at disguising..."

"Disguise?" Lang Zhengchun laughed, "If you can disguise this courage and talent, you will also be the number one person in Pink City. My two sons, Chuan'er and Yan'er, both call them sir. I also quite admire this boy. So, Master Jiang, what he means is that our father and son have poor taste? We don’t know people well?"

"I don't dare! I'm scared!" Jiang Kui quickly touched his head to the ground.

"It's good for your beloved to devote yourself to state affairs. However, there is no need to make a fuss about that Song Xiaolang. Even though Song Xiaolang is extraordinary, he is still alone." Lang Zhengchun said calmly, "I don't want to talk about any grudges between you and Song Zheng. Let me ask you. If you use any means against Song Xiaolang, I will not support or object to it. But after all, he is the envoy of Qi, and he cannot lose his life in our country of Shu. In any case, he also saved Chuan'er's life. I I also promised him that I would send him out of Daqi safely. Of course, this is only limited to Song Xiaolang. As for the others, you can just watch and deal with them, and there is no need to repay anything."

"Yes!" Jiang Kui kowtowed again, "It turns out that Da Qi Dark Eagle has arranged a nail in Chengdu. I have almost mastered it through inside information. Coupled with the detailed work of this secret coming to Chengdu, I will plan carefully to try to defeat it. Catch them all in one go.”

"Very good. My heart is filled with love for you and my loyalty to you." Lang Zhengchun praised him, and then said, "Right now, all the people in Shu are looking northward, focusing on Hanzhong. I should also put more effort into loving you." .Although this good opportunity was given to me by God and it is not difficult, there is no small matter in the military. My dear, you have an important information position, so we need to send more people."

"I shouldn't have sacrificed myself for the sake of the poor. I still ask the Holy One to punish me." Jiang Kui said with great respect.

"Ai Qing, why are you so guilty?" Lang Zhengchun waved his hand, "Ai Qing does her best to do things. The Chinese New Year will be coming soon, and there will be many royal sacrifices. Ai Qing still has to work hard. In addition, as long as I, Shu The army finally captured Liangquan, Fengzhou, and I will go to Qingcheng to offer sacrifices to the mountains. The scale of the sacrifices to the mountains is grand. If you have the spare capacity, please plan in advance to ensure that nothing goes wrong in the future."

"As a minister, you should do your best for your duties." Jiang Kui stood up and said with his fists in hand.

Lang Zhengchun waved his hand and closed his eyes. Jiang Kui took ten steps back, then turned around and walked out of the palace door. At that moment, a sinister smile appeared on his face.

After walking out of the palace gate, Jiang Kui walked toward the northeast. After about two miles, he entered a courtyard.

After a while, Lang Boyan's confidant Lou Jing entered the yard through the back door.

"Where is Your Highness now?" Jiang Kui asked quickly with a sullen face.

"The news came this morning. Four days ago, His Highness the Second Highness left Jianmen and entered Miangu, Lizhou. Based on the speed of the advance, I am afraid that His Highness has already arrived in Xingzhou Shunzheng with the army."

"Well, send someone immediately to send a message to His Highness the Second Highness. If things go as expected, General Sheng will go to Mount Qingcheng to offer sacrifices after our army captures Liangquan. If we calculate the time this way, His Highness the Second Highness can start taking action. There is no need to wait for Liang Quan to be captured. "Quan, His Highness the Second Prince will return secretly at the right time. He is ready to lay out a big plan."

Shu Jing nodded quickly in agreement.

--------

On the evening of the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Prince's Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and Lang Bochuan held a banquet in honor of Yuan Haowen, Aotunba and the entire Jin envoy. In the afternoon of that day, Jin and Shu made an alliance and became a country of brothers. Two countries that have no borders at all talk about good neighborliness and friendship, and also agree on major festivals and weddings and funerals. The emperors of the two countries send envoys to each other to greet each other. Even if the borders are close and war breaks out in the future, the envoys will not be affected.

In a word, Jin and Shu are two countries that like each other and have a lot of affection for each other.

The treaty was signed, which was a big event. Lang Bochuan invited the Daijin envoy to the Prince's Mansion to celebrate. Naturally, Song Zheng was among the guests. In fact, Song Zheng was the first person invited to the dinner, and he was personally invited by Lang Bochuan .

During this period of time, Song Zheng was under house arrest in Ziqiyuan. Although he thought it was reasonable, he was actually quite depressed. Lang Bochuan wanted to talk more with Song Zheng and talk about poetry and poetry. However, because of the war in Guanzhong in the north, Lang Bochuan had to Obey the "overall situation". Now that Pang Hui is dead, the war in Guanzhong has subsided, the threat of the Qi army to Shu has been reduced, and Song Zheng's treatment has been much better. There is no way, the relationship between countries is realistic to this extent.

Yuan Haowen's talent was very extraordinary, and because of Song Zheng's popularity, his fame gradually increased, and he was also appreciated by Lang Bochuan. This dinner was extremely sumptuous, and many dishes could not even be named by Song Zheng, but their taste impressed Song Zheng. Have a great time.

"Master Yuan, Master Aotun, come, I wish you a safe journey, please drink this cup to the full." Lang Bochuan toasted with a smile, but glanced at Song Zheng.

Song Zheng took a sip of wine, then nibbled on the leg of an unknown bird in his hand, until his mouth was full of oil.

After chatting with Yuan Haowen for a few more words, Lang Bochuan coughed slightly and asked his servants to deliver a few booklets. Several important guests all had a copy.

"Mr. Song?" Lang Bochuan greeted, "I have asked people to copy down all the poems on the poem wall of the post house. Including all the poems Mr. Song wrote in Wuhou Temple, Kuizhou and other places in my country, Shu. They are named 'Shu'. "Guan Tian Sentences", collected and published. I wonder what your thoughts are, sir?

"My collection of poems?" Song Zheng was a little surprised. He didn't expect Lang Bochuan to be so thoughtful. After taking the booklet and looking at it, Song Zheng nodded secretly: The booklets were all copied by hand. Although the handwriting was a little worse, it was very neat. .

"Thank you, Your Highness." Song Zheng bowed deeply, "Song thanked His Highness for your kindness. However, these poems are not many fine works. If many of them are printed, I am afraid that it will be a nuisance to future generations. It is okay if this collection of poems is not published. How can the collection of poems below be falsely called 'Tianju'" ?!"

Just kidding, the envoy of Da Qi went to Shu to publish a collection of poems, and if those people in Jiangning heard it, they would definitely cause trouble.

Lang Bochuan smiled and said, "Since Mr. Song is not interested in poetry collections, I won't force him. However, there is a person Mr. Song who I definitely want to meet."

"Oh? Who?" Everyone was aroused with curiosity.

"Of course it's the 'Gui Ying Jushi' who sang harmony with Mr. Song." Lang Bochuan laughed.
