Broken mountains and rivers: Sushou restores the universe

Chapter 83 Rebellion
In the middle of winter, heavy snow fell, dyeing a large area of ​​Shen State white, including Shen State's capital, Lingcheng.

The severe cold weather and heavy snowfall, coupled with the attacking army from the outskirts of the city, stopped the common people in the city at home. At this time, all the streets in the whole city were deserted and very quiet.

Just over a month ago, the barbarians on the southern border of Shen State sent troops to harass the border of Shen State, trying to grab some food to survive the harsh winter.Under the suggestion of many ministers, Shen Guogong sent the third son Shen Mutong and a general of the country to lead the army to resist the barbarians.

The barbarians located in the south of the mainland would harass the border of Shen Kingdom from time to time, but most of the soldiers of the barbarians were rough and simple-minded, and they would lose their will to fight after they got enough food, so it would not be difficult to repel them.

Just when the third son Tong successfully repelled the harassment from the Nanman tribe and was about to return to the army, bad news suddenly spread in Lingcheng.The frightened son Tong received a message from Mrs. Li, and hurriedly led his troops back to the army, returning to Lingcheng day and night.

In the winter of the 17th year of King Yushou, on the third day of November, Duke Shen died of an accident. His posthumous title was Wen, and he was called Duke Shen Wen.

His eldest son, Shi Ziyu, succeeded to the throne. After Shi Ziyu succeeded to the throne, he first sent envoys to the capital to ask the emperor to issue an edict and seal, and then sent a letter to recall the third son who was away from the expedition, and began to preside over Shen Wengong's funeral. Scenery and rich burial.

On the second day after Shen Wengong's death, Shen Muyu wrote a letter requesting to send troops and handed it to Xiao Ji, asking him to set off for Weiguo with gold jewels and jade gifts.

I don't know whether Shen Muyu could predict the rebellion of Gong Zitong, or he will definitely force Gong Zitong to rebel. In short, he sent Xiao Ji with a letter of help on the fourth day of November, and the words in the letter were sincere What he said was asking Duke Wei to send troops to help him put down the rebellion.

On the tenth day of the first month of November, son Tong Riyue returned to Lingcheng, and Shen Muyu sent envoys out of the city to meet him.The envoy asked Mr. Tong to hand over the seal of the commander of the tiger talisman, take off his weapon and armor, and enter the city, but Mr. Tong refused.

Later, I don't know what the envoy said that angered Gong Zitong. He drew out his sword in anger and beheaded the envoy.

Shen Guogong Shen Muyu took advantage of the opportunity to announce that his son Tong had rebelled, ordered the city gates to be closed, and the rebels were locked outside the city.

Seeing this situation, Young Master Tong simply declared that Shen Wengong was the victim of Shen Muyu, ordered his soldiers to attack the city, and really rebelled.

Compared with the [-] army led by Gong Zitong outside the city, the [-] defenders in Lingcheng are too thin. Within a month, Gong Zitong will definitely be able to break into the city.

Many ministers in the city could not hear the arrival of the reinforcements, or they were worried, or they were cautious about contacting the rebels outside the city, but Shen Muyu was the only one who looked calm and composed every day, calmly arranging all the affairs in the city. matter.

Many ministers thought that Shen Muyu was just calm on the surface, but they didn't know that he had already received a letter from Weiguo, and learned that Weiguo had agreed to send troops.

In the north of Lingcheng, the Duke's Palace.

Even though it was snowing, the rebels outside the city were still attacking the city fiercely. Shen Muyu entrusted the task of resisting the rebels to Da Sima, while he himself stayed in the back garden of the Duke Palace , Enjoy the snow and plum blossoms in peace.

I saw a plum grove planted in a corner of the back garden. At this time, the red plums were in full bloom, dazzling red in the heavy snow.

There is a stone pavilion built next to the plum grove, and Shen Muyu stands quietly in the pavilion, watching the direction of the plum grove quietly.

He was still wearing a spotless white brocade robe, and a thick black cloak wrapped him up to resist the cold air outside him.He clasped his hands on his chest and abdomen, and covered them with his wide sleeves.

At this moment, he was quietly looking in Merlin's direction, with deep and sad expressions in his eyes.

Suddenly, there was a clear sound of footsteps in the distance, startling Shen Muyu's thoughts. He moved his body lightly, turned his head to look in the direction of the sound, and saw a young man walking quickly through the heavy snow. Come here to Shiting.
