My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 184 Discovery
"The army is defeated like this, how can I, Shen Fu, have the face to go back to Shangluo to face the emperor (Zhao Wang Huangfulun has already ascended the throne)!" Shen Fu looked at the leaders and soldiers fleeing without resistance and said this sentence sadly, brushing He quickly pulled out the long sword from his waist and wiped it towards his neck.

Historical records: In May of the fourth year of Yonghe, Di Jiajing, a subordinate of King Qi, led the remnant army of Longxiang to the north to fight against the main force led by General Shen Fu of the upper army.General Yangwei Mo Yuan fled in front of the battle, and General Shen Fu of the upper army was defeated and committed suicide.After hearing the news, the guard of Gusaka Pass led his army to surrender to Di Jiajing, and the Zhendong Rebels occupied Gusaka Pass.On the second day, General Shi Chao under the command of King Chen Yao led the army to defeat General Zhechong Shiyi.Shi Yi led the defeated army and fled back to the south bank of the river in embarrassment. At the same time, they burned the pontoon bridge to stop the army of King Chen Yao.

In the mansion of General Luo Zuowei, Wang Yu, who had just taken office and succeeded the dead Sima Ya, was walking back and forth anxiously in the study.As one of Shen Xiu's confidantes, he has just returned from discussing matters in Shen Xiu's residence.Unlike in the past when he was full of fighting spirit and hope every time he came back, the result of this discussion made his heart a mess.

Wang Yu is from Chenliu, also from a poor family, and also a student of Hongdu College.On the day Zhao Wang and Shen Xiu raised troops to abolish Jia Hou, he was eager to make meritorious service and followed Zhang Bu to Wanchun's sect.It was just that when he heard that Zhang Bu wanted to rob the city gate by relying on them, he hesitated. He didn't stand on Zhang Bu's side at the first time, until Zhang Bu cut off the leader and stood up against him. After the head of Senior Brother Liu, Wang Yu had no choice but to join Zhang Bu's team with the others.

Afterwards, he rejoiced that he had been careful and didn't stand up like that senior brother Liu. Not only was his head chopped off, but he didn't get promoted or made a fortune.

He didn't have a good relationship with Zhang Bu, and since he entered Hongdu Academy, he has always disliked this domineering senior brother Zhang.He doesn't get close to Zhang Bu, and Zhang Bu, who is proud of his spring breeze, naturally doesn't get close to him either.The reason why he was later promoted by Shen Xiu to be a majestic general in the palace was because when Huainan King Huangfuyun attacked the palace that day, he was extremely active and brave, and he did his best to protect the core hub in charge of the palace wall talisman formation.Shen Xiu saw all this in her eyes, and afterwards promoted him to be a general in the palace with such an important position.

Just when he felt that his life had never been so beautiful, first came the news of the defeat of General Shen Fu of the Shang Army, followed by the news of the defeat of General Zhe Chong, Shi Yi, which made his heart seem to fall into a trance. General ice cave.

"It's over, Huang Fulun and Shen Xiu are over." This was Wang Yu's first reaction after receiving these two news.

Shen Xiu was already trying her best to conceal these two pieces of news that were extremely unfavorable to her, but how could this kind of thing be kept from everyone in Shangluo.Not to mention those who opposed Huang Fulun and Shen Xiu in the past, many people who used to stand on Huang Fulun and Shen Xiu's side have been inquiring about each other's news these days, and there is an indescribable look in everyone's eyes.

Including him, they turned a blind eye to this kind of thing.Wang Yu believed that the current Shangluo would not say [-]%, at least [-]% of the people had already judged Huang Fulun and Shen Xiu to be executed.

The key is, what should I do to save my life?

At the meeting just now, someone suggested moving the capital to Chang'an, and someone suggested fleeing east to the sea while Hulaoguan was still in his hands. In the end, Shen Xiu made the decision to forcibly recruit all male monks over the age of 15 from Shangluo to Sili to join the army, and then form a large army to the front.Wang Yu could imagine what Shangluo would be like after the order was issued tomorrow.

"My lord, Song Shilang is here to visit." The butler knocked on the door and came in and said respectfully.

"Hmph, I'm afraid Song Yi came here to inquire about something." Wang Yu thought to himself, but said: "Hurry up and get someone to prepare tea, and I'll go to the door to greet him in person."

Song Yi was also one of the students from Hongdu College who went to Wanchun Gate with Zhang Bu. He was Zhang Bu's loyal friend, and Wang Yu didn't dare to neglect him.

"Brother Song, what kind of wind brought you to my place today, please come inside quickly." Wang Yu greeted him warmly when he came to the door.

"You and I are classmates, why don't we come and see you?" Song Yi said with a smile as he walked inside.

"Cut, you used to run to Shen Xiu or Zhang Bu every day. You don't like me here." Wang Yu slandered in his heart, and the smile on his face became more enthusiastic: "Old classmates come, I naturally Very happy."

He looked at Song Yi followed closely by a man with his head covered by a hoodie and couldn't see his face clearly. He was puzzled, and continued to ask: "Brother Song, who is this follower? No introduction. "

When the attendant heard this, he laughed, then raised his head and said to Wang Yu, "Why, my old classmate is visiting, General Wang, do you welcome me or not?"

Wang Yu looked intently, but it wasn't who Chen Rong, the leader of Hongdu's Three Heroes, was!

For a moment, Wang Yu's face was cloudy and cloudy, and he subconsciously pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and there was a battle between heaven and man in his heart.

The feud between Chen Rong and Shen Xiu was a well-known matter in Hongdu Academy.After Shen Xiu abolished Empress Jia, Chen Rong disappeared.Some of Hongdu College's classmates who stayed in Shangluo said that Chen Rong had returned to his hometown, and some said that Chen Rong had defected to King Qi, but Wang Yu never expected that Chen Rong would find him at his door.

"Hahahaha," suddenly he laughed loudly: "I said that my left eyelid was always twitching just now, so it was brother Chen who was coming. Brother Chen, you are not mean enough. In the past, in Hongdu College, Brother Chen and I The relationship with him is much closer than that of Song Yi. If you have anything to do, you can come to me directly, why go through Song Yi."

The three of them talked and laughed and went into the study room where the guest of honor sat down. Wang Yu waved his hand to make the people retreat, and then said solemnly, "I don't know why Brother Chen is here today? Who is it for?" Your Excellency is coming?"

"I didn't come here for anyone else." Chen Rong took a sip of hot tea leisurely and said with a smile, "I came here just for you, Wang Yu."

"Come here for me?" Wang Yu couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

"Wang Yu, let's go together as a classmate, so I won't play tricks." Even though he was facing Wang Yu, the general in the palace with a strong soldier in his hand, Chen Rong talked eloquently without any nervousness or fear: "Your current situation I know very well in my heart that Huang Fulun and Shen Xiu are already defeated, so why do you want to go all the way to the dark side?"

"Humph," although Wang Yu also thought so in his heart, he still said firmly: "Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs. This is only two defeats, and maybe there will be a victory report in a few days. Besides, Governor Yongliang's General Hejian Wangye has sent [-] elite soldiers from the Western Army to help. The soldiers have already passed Hangu Pass, and they will reach Shangluo in less than two days. With these [-] elite troops, plus Shangluo As far as military strength is concerned, it is still uncertain who will win and who will lose. It is too early for Brother Chen to draw conclusions that he will lose."

"It seems that our Dean Shen still has something to hide from Wang Yu." Chen Rong's voice was not loud, but it sounded like thunder in Wang Yu's ears. After hearing the news, the confidants rushed to chase the army overnight, and it was outside Hangu Pass that the Western Army had already changed the banner of assisting Huangfulun to attacking Huangfulun."

"What?" Wang Yu was shocked and dumbfounded when he heard Chen Rong's words.He has been hesitant because there is still a glimmer of hope for the Western Army, and now even this hope is gone.

He knew in his heart that what Chen Rong said was not a lie.For anyone, after receiving the news of the defeat of the Chinese leader, they have to reconsider whether they should choose to change sides.Even if King Hejian Huangfu Yong personally wanted to support Huangfulun, but with so many subordinates in the West Mansion, how could the lard be deceived and King Hejian choose Huangfulun, who is weak and weak?

He sighed and closed his eyes.After a long time, he opened his eyes and looked at Chen Rong and said, "Brother Chen, brother, I am stupid, so I hope Brother Chen can point out a way for brother?"

"The way, you have to break it yourself." Chen Rong straightened his face and said seriously: "I heard that Shen Xiu will forcibly conscript all male monks over 15 years old in Shangluo to join the army, isn't it?"

"Indeed, this order will be issued tomorrow morning."

"Okay, it seems that our Dean Shen has gone mad, and he dared to do this kind of thing that offends all the people of Shangluo." Chen Rong said with a smile: "Tomorrow I will take the opportunity to add fuel to the flames in Shangluo, Wang Yu, I think You'll know what to do then?"

Wang Yu pondered for a moment, finally stood up abruptly with his teeth gritted, stretched out his right palm, and hit Chen Rong three times with his right palm.

"Brother Chen, as long as you can create a big chaos in Shangluo tomorrow, I will lead the tigers in the palace to fight back and take down Shen Xiu and Huang Fulun. If you violate this oath, you will be struck by lightning."

Shangluo, in Sili Xiaowei's mansion.

Lei Xu, the newly appointed Lieutenant of the Sili School, sat on a chair in the study with a sad face and sighed.After King Zhao Huangfulun ascended the throne, Shen Xiu became a servant and the supervisor of Zhongshu.The captain of Sili who he was originally in charge of was vacant.This vital position has always been coveted by many people.

It is said that Lei Xu can become the new captain of Sili, which really surprised everyone in Shangluo.One must know that this Lei Xu is from the north of Yongzhou, he is a commoner, and his daily business is to sell some horses from Yongzhou to Shangluo City.Although he has made a lot of money over the years, how can this kind of person get into the eyes of the Zhongzhengs in the states and counties.On the contrary, Shen Xiu's son, Shen Hui, was keen on this business to make money a few years ago, while people with a little status in Shangluo disdain to do such dirty things.This time and again, Lei Xu fought fiercely with Shen Hui.

When Shen Xiu transformed and became the most powerful person in Shangluo, Lei Xu was just happy at first that the business partner he made had such a strong background, and he never thought that he could be an official.But slowly, he saw that those cronies around Shen Hui, no matter what background, moral character or ability, as long as they gave Shen Hui enough money, they could get a big or small official position.

Seeing this, Lei Xu was also tempted.He was able to change from a commoner with no background to a rich man with a little wealth in Shangluo, and he was decisive in killing.Regardless of his family's opposition, he gave almost all of his wealth to Shen Hui in order to get an official position.

He has always been a gambler.When he took a fancy to an opportunity that he thought had a great chance of winning, he was never hesitant to gamble heavily.This time, he decided to make the biggest bet of his life.

As before, he, who was extremely confident in his vision and judgment, won the bet again, and the winning chips were so high that he almost fainted.

Captain Sili!

In the past, even in his best dreams, he never dared to think that this official position would fall on him one day.

This is the majestic Captain Sili!

Not to mention Captain Sili, not even the subordinates in Captain Sili's mansion, but a small soldier under Captain Sili. He would bow his head and bow when he met him in the past. No snub.Even if he knew Shen Hui, even if he knew Shen Hui very well.But he is a businessman, and he knows all about these rivers and lakes.The county magistrate is not as good as the current one.He really offended the little soldiers under Sili Xiaowei's mansion. If they wanted to deal with him, who came from a remote area in the frontier, there were really a thousand ways to deal with him.

One is the captain of Sili, and the other is Shangluoling.

For these common people and even ordinary monks, the Sangong and Jiuqing are not as prestigious as these two official positions.

Originally, he bet almost all of his net worth, but the coy condition he put on Shen Hui was to go to Luoling, and even this request was already using his usual means of doing business.

Asking prices all over the sky, and paying back the money when they land.

In fact, he just wanted to become a southern lieutenant under Shangluoling.

In his heart, if he could become the Nanfang Lieutenant under Shangluoling, the property he gave away would be recovered within a year.Those who do business in Luonan City alone don't send a lot of property to the Nanfang Captain every year, and who don't give the Nanfang Captain as a grandfather.

When Shen Hui told him the news, his first reaction was that there was something wrong with his ears.After Shen Hui repeated it again, he thought that Shen Hui was joking with him.

What a joke!

In Lei Xu's previous understanding, the official position of the imperial court is so sacred.Although most of the small soldiers and officials below are taking cards to bully others, the image of those officials is quite tall in Lei Xu's mind.Whenever he saw those officials passing by, Lei Xu, like countless civilians, bowed respectfully and stood by the side of the road, not daring to take a breath, let alone look up.

He is just an ordinary monk born in a commoner family!

His family's ancestors are almost common people for generations, that is to say, when he came to him, after he sent some money, he spent a lot of money to have someone test his spiritual veins, and found that he also had spiritual veins, and he had three spiritual veins .

He was 26 years old at this time.From then on, he began to spend a lot of money to buy some spiritual grains, and spent a lot of money to hire a ninth-rank white-clothed monk to be his master.

When he ate the Linggu for the first time, he was so strong that he cried a lot since he was a child.

When he felt the aura in his body for the first time, and the first time there was spiritual power in the sea of ​​qi, he ran to the ancestral hall of his home like crazy for the first time, crying and laughing loudly at the ranking of his ancestors. Rambling all night.
