Chapter 1533 The Navy
Yangling Pass is lost.

Zhou Zun was walking on the main street of Tongcheng, and the autumn wind blew up the fallen leaves, which swirled and gathered in the corner, looking at a pile.It stands to reason that someone should clean it up normally, but at this moment, no one cares about it.

Those passers-by walked in a hurry, and when they saw officials or sergeants, it was as if they saw a plague god, and they all distanced themselves.

Heart!
scattered!

"Servant Zhou!"

Someone came up behind him, an official who had treated him coldly in the past.

Zhou Zun walked silently.

"I heard that the old man likes to raise birds? The official recently got a thrush bird, and the sound is very crisp. If you don't abandon it, the official will send it to your mansion..."

Zhou Zun was silent.

"Xiaguan just got the fine wine from Shu, please show me your face!"

"Servant Zhou!"

Zhou Zun said lightly: "Do you want to die?"

Official: "..."

"The people on the mirror stand are following the old man!"

Whoosh!
The officer disappeared.

When Zhou Zun turned his head, he saw two familiar faces lazily following behind him, and no one chased after the official.

Even the people on the mirror stage are lazy!

Back home, Zhou Qin was drinking. Seeing him coming back, he said happily, "The good days of the false emperor are numbered."

"But the more we wait, the more we have to watch out for him jumping over the wall in a hurry!" Zhou Zun sat down, and seeing his father put the jug on the desk, he couldn't help smiling, "Today is considered a happy day, just drink less."

"I don't want to drink too much." Zhou Qin took the jug up again, and took a sip happily, "Once the Yangling Pass is broken, the rest will not be easy, but Zitai can't be stopped. The old man can't wait to think about it." Look at A Liang and the others."

Zhou Zun said: "Aye, Zitai's army is coming, and there must be internal response in the city."

At the beginning, Zhou Qin had made arrangements for many years, so that he could keep the Zhou family under the oppression of the false emperor and Yang Songcheng.Zhou Zun didn't care about these things, but he specifically mentioned it today because he wanted to attack with all his strength.

"It was cleared up." Zhou Qin narrowed his eyes, "The first thing the false emperor did when he entered the land of Shu was to clean up the manpower that the old man had deployed. It is my fault to say that Yang Songcheng forced too much back then, so the old man changed the layout of the old man. Most of them were uncovered to frighten that old dog. Among them, the layout of the Shu land is among them."

"It's a pity." Zhou Zun shook his head.

"Don't worry!" Zhou Qin said with a smile: "There was Yangling Pass in the past, and everyone thought that the false emperor's family would be able to separate the Shu land for decades. Now that Yangling Pass is gone, how many people think Surrender to Zitai? The old man bets that there will be many people coming to see you in the past few days."

"There was one on the road before." Zhou Zun admired his father's judgment the most.

"This is just the beginning." Zhou Qin took a sip of the wine, poured himself another glass reluctantly, and shook the jug, "It's a lot, not a lot!"

……

Wei Zhong came to Huang's house.

With the autumn wind blowing, Huang Chunhui's cough got worse.

He was coughing so badly that Huang Lu waited on him, patting his back and smoothing his chest.

After finally calming down, Huang Chunhui gasped and said, "I'm old, I'll let you see a joke."

"Everyone will grow old one day." Wei Zhong sat down, "Did Mr. Huang know the news?"

"Yeah!" Huang Chunhui took a sip of the tea, "Fangzhou, you can't stop Zitai's army!"

"Then, the next step is to look at Yizhou." Wei Zhong narrowed his eyes, "I'm thinking, may there be a way to contact there."

The news of Huahua and others couldn't be passed on. Wei Zhong wanted to be an internal response, but he had to ventilate first.

"You, can't move!"

Huang Chunhui shook his head, "This old man is an old and weak man who will fall at any time, without much threat. But you are different, there are still your original subordinates in the army. How could the false emperor not be wary of you? Don't move, otherwise the old man dares to bet you As soon as you make a move, the killing intent is imminent."

Wei Zhong nodded, "The old man just thought of this, so I came to ask you for advice. How should we cooperate?"

"Want to follow the dragon?" Huang Chunhui rarely teased Wei Zhong.

"Yes!" Wei Zhong didn't hide anything, "Although we have had some friendship with His Majesty at the beginning, there is no credit after all!"

The new emperor is not the type to give rewards casually, let alone regard titles and official positions as tools of reward.

Judging from the news that came in one after another, almost all the new court officials were doing their jobs.

"I don't know about this matter."

After Wei Zhong left, Huang Chunhui said to Huang Lu: "Wei Zhong was born as a relative, and the whole family behind him is eagerly waiting for him to find benefits. If he can't find it, the family will break up. So he must bow his head. However, once you bow your head, according to Zitai's temperament, you will definitely look down on him."

Huang Lu said: "But Xun Qi wants to win over after all!"

"The old man asked you to read the history books, but you have seen this. If the emperor wants to control the world, he has to win over several forces. Aristocratic families, relatives, clans, generals...but this is an ordinary emperor!"

Huang Chunhui looked at Huang Lu meaningfully, "Where are the aristocratic families?"

Huang Lu was startled, "Suppressed by His Majesty."

The powerful clan in Guanzhong was beaten up by the new emperor without the strength to fight back, and the risky army was easily wiped out. After the news spread to Tongcheng, many people were shocked.

"The noble family is the most feared by the emperor, but Zitai is the first to suppress this force. Since he dares to attack the noble family, what clan and relatives do you think he will be afraid of?"

Huang Lu was startled, "So, what is he going to do?"

"Others don't know, but this old man knows what he's thinking." Huang Chunhui said with a smile: "When he was in Beijiang, his vision was far beyond his peers, and he saw things farther. Once he felt that this matter should be done, no matter how many obstacles ahead If it is not completed in one year, then it will be two years;

Huang Lu shook her head in amazement, "If those people are smart, they'd better show their loyalty at this moment."

"But those people are used to not expressing their opinions if there is no benefit." Huang Chunhui said sarcastically, "If you don't see a rabbit, you won't cast an eagle. What good will Zitai give them?"

Huang Lu looked at her father.

Huang Chunhui said:
"Big slap!"

……

In a certain alley in Tongcheng, Hua Hua walked leisurely into a house with a bamboo basket on her shoulders.

Inside, several horned dragon guards were talking in low voices.

"Flower!"

Huahua came in and closed the door with her backhand.I stood behind the door and listened for a while, but found nothing unusual before entering the room.

The crowd followed.

"If Yangling Pass is lost, Yizhou will be in danger. The puppet emperor will be panicked, and the civil and military officials below will also be panicked. At this time, it's time for us to act."

"How about Wei Zhong?" Someone asked.

"I went to look for Wei Zhong earlier, and Wei Zhong said he was being stared at and couldn't move. I went out and walked around, and sure enough, more than ten people outside were staring at his house."

"Then who else can you win over?"

"It's mainly the generals on the city defense side."

"Tsk! This is not easy to do! Once the other party refuses, the person who goes will be finished."

"I have to do it after I'm done!" Huahua said coldly.

Later, Huahua came out of the alley again.

There were quite a few pedestrians outside, but they all walked in a hurry, and looked a little flustered.

In every war, the most unlucky people are the common people.

There are also more sergeants on the street, patrolling back and forth.

Huahua looked carefully, and found that the expressions of these sergeants were also a little nervous.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she lowered her head.

"The end of the false emperor is not far away."

……

The army is walking hard on the road to Shu.

"what!"

A sergeant stumbled and fell, and the screams echoed in the mountains for a long time.

Everyone leaned against the mountain wall tightly and moved forward little by little.

There is a wide area ahead, where the emperor is conferring with the generals.

"The vanguard has approached Fangzhou, but found that a section of the plank road has been destroyed and is being rebuilt." Pei Jian said and passed the news to the emperor.

The emperor glanced at it, "This is what it should be. However, this cannot stop the army from advancing, but reveals the timidity of the defenders. Pass my order, the forward arrives in Fangzhou, don't worry about anything, just call me."

……

"Du Que, how is your mother!"

"Du Que..."

Wang Lao Er led people to shout and curse, Du Que, the guard at the top of the city, said coldly: "Keep an eye on the city, don't let them take advantage of it."

"Yes!"

At the head of the city, the defenders are awe-inspiring.

Seriously, another angle is nervous.

The fall of Yangling Pass was a great blow to the Shu army... Du Que saw it, but he couldn't think of a way to boost morale.

Using allegiance to the emperor to boost morale, Du Que felt that the soldiers would think they were fools.

With money, he didn't.

Li Mi's vicious raids in Shu were extremely vicious, but most of them were used on the army, as well as to win over the big clans in Shu and reward the accompanying dignitaries.

Du Que looked into the distance and said softly: "We can only resign ourselves to fate."

However, at least he has the confidence to stick to it for half a month.

until reinforcements arrive.

But what about the flanks?

Du Que looked to the left.

There are sailors over there.

If you want to attack the relatively weak Fangzhou from the side, unless Li Xuan brings the Southern Zhou navy to Shu.

This is obviously impossible.

Du Que was depressed, but at least he felt that the crisis was not imminent.

……

The main purpose of the Shu land navy is not to attack, but to defend.

The waterways in the Shu region are still steep. Under normal circumstances, the ships of the navy will not go to the middle and lower reaches, but operate on the wide water surface to fight against smuggling, water thieves and so on.

Jiang Qin is the lieutenant general of the navy, and he is leading his subordinates on a boat inspection this day.

"safe and sound!"

No abnormalities were found during inspections all the way.

Just as Jiang Qin was about to take the fleet back, a ship appeared in front of him.

And it's coming this way.

It is not a ship from Shu, so it is not worthy of attention.

As for the water thief, after seeing the big flag on his boat and the racket stick on the warship, who would dare to approach him?
But the ship still approached.

"Warning!" someone yelled.

On the opposite boat, a person came out of the cabin, dressed in Taoist robes, and the river wind was blowing, looking ecstatic.

"Brother?" Jiang Qin was stunned, thinking that his elder brother had become a monk in the Biandan Mountain behind Yangling Pass, and the timing of appearing here was not right, so he held back his enthusiasm and ordered, "Come over."

The two boats approached, and Jiang Qin nimbly jumped in front of Jiang Min.

"Brother, why did you come here?"

Jiang Qin turned his eyes and saw more than ten men sitting in the cabin, the leading one looked a little wretched.

"Brother, the old man came here to save your life!"
