Shudi, Yangpingguan
The third-class British Duke Xie Zaiyi of the Han Dynasty led a group of soldiers from the Beijing camp and entered the city with their armor rolled up.
At this moment, this majestic and mighty Guancheng stands tall, with black and red satin flags planted on the beacons on all sides of the city wall, fluttering in the wind at this moment, making a hunting sound.
Xie Zaiyi sat on a pearwood chair behind a black lacquered table. Under his solemn and calm brows, an inexplicable color appeared in his tiger eyes, saying: "Come here, write a military report and report to the capital immediately."
report a success!"
A middle-aged civil servant below had a solemn look on his face, stood up, said yes, and then walked quickly outside.
Xie Zaiyi stared at the middle-aged general standing aside, with an inexplicable look on his resolute and calm face, and asked: "Where are the defeated troops in Yangping Pass fleeing now?"
Jia Yun cupped her hands and said: "Returning to the general, most of the more than a thousand defeated troops at Yangping Pass surrendered to the imperial court, and some fled to Bashu."
When Xie Zaiyi heard this, his eyes flashed aggressively, and he said in a deep voice: "Immediately send troops and horses to gather the defeated troops in the city, take care of the generals, pack up the baggage, rest for a day, and march into Baoning Fucheng tomorrow, without any mistakes!"
When Jia Yun heard this, she clasped her fists fiercely and responded loudly.
After Jia Yun left quickly, Xie Zaiyi turned around and stared at a map of Bashu hanging on the screen, with a look of thought on his unshaven face.
In this way, after the army left Yangping Pass, they headed to Baoning Fucheng, attacked Jiameng Pass, and entered the Bingjian Pavilion.
Xie Zaiyi suppressed the military strategy in his mind, and accompanied by several personal guards, he came to the hall and started to eat the food.
One day later, in Baonyeong Prefecture, inside the official office
Baoning Guard Commander Bao Qichun and Baoning Prefecture Magistrate Lu Zhaoyuan sat down across a small table, their faces as solemn as iron.
After one day, the defeated army at Yangping Pass also sent the report of their defeat to Baoning Prefecture. Lu Zhaoyuan, the prefect of Baoning Prefecture, and Bao Qichun, the commander of the Baoning Guards, were frightened after hearing the news.
Baoning Guard Commander Bao Qichun had a slightly chubby face. He stared at Lu Zhaoyuan and said in a loud voice: "Prefect Lu, Yangping Pass has been broken. The previous battle to defend Guancheng did not last even a day."
Lu Zhaoyuan said solemnly: "The imperial soldiers and horses are all elite soldiers. Over the years, they have been conquering the south and the north, and they have been able to win every battle. With the help of Hongyi artillery, it is no wonder that they have been able to win every battle."
Bao Qichun said: "I'm afraid that the imperial army's Beijing army, armed with Hongyi cannons, will get under the city gate again and attack our army at the top of the city."
Lu Zhaoyuan's face was stern, and he pondered for a moment and said: "There is no good strategy in the city to resist the imperial court's red cannons."
Bao Qichun looked solemn and said: "Although I have never seen this kind of red barbarian cannon, I know that it is very powerful. At first, the Jurchen Donglu chieftain killed him with one cannon. Later, the imperial court relied on this red barbarian cannon to attack the city."
, there is no disadvantage.”
After hearing this, Lu Zhaoyuan nodded and said, "The imperial soldiers and horses have indeed become elite and brave in recent years."
Bao Qichun said: "Prefect Lu, you have been busy collecting food and fodder these days to prepare for a long-term confrontation with the Han army in the capital."
Lu Zhaoyuan expressed his determination and said: "Commander Bao, don't worry, there are enough grain, armor, and ordnance in the city, enough to last three months."
Bao Qichun said in a deep voice: "Send military information to the Chengdu government and ask the Commander-in-Chief for his wishes. We cannot allow the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp to approach the city."
Lu Zhaoyuan nodded and accepted the matter.

Shenjing City, Ningguo Mansion
Jia Heng was obsessed with Daiyu for a while in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and then he didn't linger much and decided to go see other golden hairpins.
Grand View Garden, Qiushuangzhai
Tanchun wore a pink dress and sat behind a pear tree desk. Because it was summer, the girl's dress was light and her fair neck was plump and bright.
And that charming, bright face, with a blush floating on it, was holding a brush in her hand, writing something on the rice paper.
At this moment, I heard the maid entering the wing and saying, "Third Miss, the prince is here."
Tan Chun's heart couldn't help but tremble when he heard this. That charming and bright face was so red and so bright and moving.
After a while, I saw the young man in python clothes coming from outside. A warm smile couldn't help but appear on his fair and jade face. He called out and said softly: "Third sister."
Tan Chun raised her emerald eyebrows and asked, "Brother Heng, are you back?"
Jia Hengxing came closer and whispered: "Third sister, come and see you."
Tan Chun's plump and pleasant face turned red with embarrassment, and he timidly responded. After coming to the desk, he looked at the boy in the python suit and said softly: "Brother Heng, I've finished all the things outside."
?"
While Jia Heng was speaking, he pulled Tan Chun's slender catkin away and came to a lacquered wood desk. He looked at the rice papers, on which black characters were flying and phoenixes were dancing, and his name was written boldly on them.
.
Jia Heng gently hugged Tanchun's plump and delicate body, leaned close to the beauty's ear, and gently pursed her soft lips, inhaling the sweet and refreshing fragrance.
Under Tan Chun's delicate nose, he couldn't help but snort. His charming and bright face was as bright as the clouds. Feeling the intimacy of the young man in the python suit, he couldn't help but feel waves of inexplicable shyness.
Jia Heng gently hugged the plump and soft figure in front of Tan Chun. The two of them were sitting on pearwood chairs. Jia Heng asked, "Third sister has been practicing calligraphy at home these days?"
Tan Chun was watched by Jia Heng, with a slight blush on both sides of his jade face, and he said softly: "I have nothing to do, so I will practice calligraphy at home."
Jia Heng hugged Tan Chun and sat down on the pear wood chair. He put his hands around Tan Chun's plump waist. When he felt the youthful and beautiful breath of the girl's plump and delicate body, his heart felt a little throbbing.
Tan Chun was charming and naive, with concern overflowing between her bright brows and eyes, and said, "Brother Heng, is the war situation in Bashu okay?"
Jia Heng said: "The troops from the Beijing camp have been fighting bravely and skillfully in these years. If Gao Zhongping were here to march into Bashu this time, it might be a tricky battle. But since Gao Zhongping died, there are no strong military men in Sichuan."
, the capital camp is sufficient to deal with the chaos in Bashu."
If Gao Zhongping was still there, he would most likely need to take action in person, but now that Gao Zhongping is dead, the Beijing camp troops will be able to deal with it.
This is the reason why Gao Zhongping was retained in the first place, at least the Bashu strategy was changed from the difficult mode to the easy mode.
If Gao Zhongping is allowed to integrate the three parties, it may have a purgatory effect.
Tan Chun raised his pretty head at this moment, his plump face was bright and moving, and asked: "Brother Heng, will Sichuan send troops to Huguang, or even cooperate with the inside and outside to sweep across the south of the Yangtze River?"
Jia Heng shook his head and said: "The Sichuan army has been in Shu for a long time, has been comfortable for a long time, and is not good at fighting. And Bashu is a long way from the south of the Yangtze River. Once they leave Sichuan, they will face the majestic power of the imperial court. They may not be able to march to the south of the Yangtze River."
It will scatter in all directions.”
Tanchun Liuye's slender eyebrows, with crystal light shining in her slightly moist eyes, said: "Brother Heng said that's right."
At this moment, Jia Heng saw the charming and charming girl with sparkling eyes. He didn't say much else. He couldn't help but move closer to the girl's two pink lips. When he lowered his head, he captured the fresh and sweet taste.
.
Tanchun said "hmm" and took the arm of the boy in the python suit with both hands. A hint of joy could not help but appear in his shining eyes.
As Jia Heng spoke, he hugged Tan Chun's plump and delicate body and walked towards the inner room.
When he came to the bed with hanging curtains, Jia Heng looked at the man who came closer with warm eyes, his lips parted, and under his willow eyebrows, those sparkling eyes seemed to be moistened with watery charm.
There is something thrilling in my mind.
When Tanchun occasionally raised her beautiful head, the beauty flowing silently between the girl's beautiful brows seemed to have some thrilling beauty.
The girl has lilac flowers and is as nimble as a butterfly.
After a while, Jia Heng took Tan Chun's slender hand and stared at Tan Chun's face, which was the essence of literary talent and forgotten the world. As he lowered his eyes, his heart palpitated.
Jia Heng's eyebrows were raised sharply, and his eyes couldn't help but fall into a long-lost warmth.
Tanchun's delicate and straight Qiong nose couldn't help but let out a soft moan. Her plump and delicate body was stiff at first, and then as soft as silkworms.
Jia Heng gently lifted up a strand of Tanchun's hair hanging down from her ear, and stared at Tanchun, with an inexplicable sense of relief in her shining eyes.
At this moment, the pavilions and pavilions outside the window remained motionless in the hot summer. The gentle breeze was blowing, blowing the leaves of the plants and trees in the courtyard, making a rhythmic rustling sound.
…
…
Autumn is refreshing, the vegetation is lush and lush.
The cool breeze blows in the summer, and the gentle breeze rustles the leaves, and you can see the ripples appearing on the calm lake surface.
In the side room, Jia Heng gently hugged Tan Chun's soft, white body, turned his eyes to look at her face as bright as the clouds, and said softly: "Third sister, it's getting late."
Tanchun said "Hmm", her voice was soft and charming, and her charming face seemed to be covered with a layer of gorgeous red clouds as red as drunkenness.
Jia Heng stretched out his hand and gently hugged Tanchun's plump and delicate body, and whispered: "Okay, third sister, I'll get up first."
As he spoke, he stood up and put on two Chaoyun official boots, his face calm.
At this moment, the waiter's face was as red as snow, and he slowly came closer, took a cup of tea, and raised his eyes to look at the young man in the python suit. His beautiful eyes were filled with indescribable shyness.
Said: "Your Majesty, drink tea."
Jia Heng nodded, took a tea cup from the waiter's hand, took a sip, and suddenly felt the fragrance on his teeth and cheeks.
Tan Chun was wearing a green dress. While talking, she came closer and whispered: "Brother Heng."
At this moment, the waiter came closer and poured a cup of tea for Tan Chun. He took a look at the charming charm flowing silently from the corner of Tan Chun's eyebrows and eyes, and the blushing charm could be seen on his face as white as snow.
born.
Tanchun took a blue and white porcelain tea cup, lowered his head and took a sip.
Jia Heng said: "Third sister, you may be a little hungry now. Waiter Shu, ask the cook to make some food."
The secretary responded shyly and said, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment."
As he spoke, the servant left the room and turned around to go to the hall.
Tan Chunying's slightly beautiful eyes couldn't help but show a hint of concern, and asked: "Brother Heng, eldest sister, has your confinement period been finished?"
Jia Heng smiled and said: "Yuezi, you have finished sitting now."
Tan Chun's fair and gleaming face was as red as drunkenness, and suddenly she said with a faint tone: "Recently, my wife said that she wanted to discuss the marriage of Second Brother Bao."
"Yes, the wife in the house has urged me several times," Jia Heng said.
Tanchun sighed and said warmly: "In a blink of an eye, everyone has grown up, and it's time for Brother Bao to get married."
At the beginning, I remember when I was young, everyone was talking and laughing in the back house. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, all the sisters in the back yard also grew up.
Jia Heng immediately sat down and ate the food with Tan Chun.

Shenjing City
With the outbreak of rebellion in Sichuan, both the government and the public began to turn their attention to the disaster of war in Sichuan, and Li Zan in Beijing also began to find ways to contact Concubine Duanrong in the palace.
Wuying Hall, Military Aircraft Department
Li Zan was currently holding a memorial in his hand, reviewing it absentmindedly.
This is a memorandum sent from the Ministry of Household Affairs in Nanjing. It records the collection of grain this summer. It is another good harvest year in the south of the Yangtze River and there is plenty of grain.
While Li Zan was speaking, he turned to look at Shi Jie, the minister of military aircraft, and asked: "Master Shi, have the military reports from the Beijing camp been delivered?"
Shi Jie said: "Back to the pavilion, I sent a report to Tang this morning that the forward troops of the Beijing camp have arrived at Hanzhong Mansion."
This is just a piece of news of little importance.
Under Li Zan's thin green and gloomy eyebrows, his eyes showed a thoughtful look, and he said: "The land of Bashu is dangerous, and Yangping Pass is one man's responsibility. Tens of thousands of men cannot open it, so we have to wait and see."
Shi Jie thought for a while and said: "The Sichuan Army has not experienced many wars, but the Beijing Camp is a warrior who has fought a hundred battles. The Sichuan Army may not be able to withstand the fierce offensive of the Beijing Camp."
Li Zan's eyes flashed aggressively, and he said in a deep voice: "It's not unreasonable. In the past few years, the Beijing camp has been fighting in the south and in the north, and it has always been unfavorable."
Li Zan thought for a while and said: "In two days, it will be the Hungry Ghost Festival, and the worship of Emperor Xianzong should be put on the agenda."
He knew how to meet Concubine Duanrong.
Taking the matter of worshiping Emperor Xianzong as an excuse, he mentioned this matter to Concubine Duanrong.
Shi Jie nodded and said loudly: "Honoring Emperor Xianzong is the most important thing. Emperor Xianzong is the Mingjun of Zhongxing. Worshiping Emperor Xianzong can help unite the hearts of both the government and the public."
Shi Jie was keenly aware of the strange atmosphere in the capital now. It was difficult to tell the loyalties of King Wei from traitors, and as the Minister of Military and Aircraft, he could not make the situation collapse for the time being.
Li Zan said: "Emperor Xianzong worked hard for the great cause of the resurgence of the Han Dynasty. He wore clothes at night and ate at night. All the people in the world are grateful for his virtue. On the Ghost Festival, it is time to go to the Ancestral Temple to worship."
After Li Zan finished speaking, he immediately sent a junior official from Zhongshu to Funing Palace to inform Concubine Duanrong.
Palace Garden, Funing Palace
In the warm pavilion, a beauty wearing aqua blue dress sat on the bank of a short table behind the bead curtain, her beautiful face slightly hanging down under the cloud bun.
Concubine Duanrong was stroking the strings of the zither, and her slender green hands lifted the harp of the guzheng. After a while, the sound of "ding dong" was heard, but the beauty's mind was obviously a little confused at this moment.
.
I'm still a little distracted these days.
As soon as you close your eyes, you can think of the scene of the young man in the python suit and his sister entangled together.
At this moment, a tall female official quickly entered the palace and said softly: "Your Majesty, Mr. Li Ge has sent the cabinet officials and said that he has something to inform your Majesty."
Concubine Duanrong looked surprised and said, "Mr. Li Ge? What's the matter with him?"
The female officer replied: "Madam, Mr. Li Ge seems to be talking about going to the Ancestral Temple to worship Emperor Xianzong."
After hearing this, Imperial Concubine Duanrong suddenly felt a sense of sadness in her heart, and murmured: "It's time to pay homage."
She also had thousands of things to say to Emperor Xianzong. Her sister had an affair with Jia Ziyu. What should she do?
Concubine Duanrong suppressed the sadness in her heart. When she raised her eyes, she stared at the female official and said, "Send Mr. Li Ge over. I will ask you questions later."
The female official looked stunned for a moment, didn't say much else, and then walked quickly outside.
After a while, I saw a middle-aged official with a thin figure and a clear face walking quickly from outside the palace. He walked closer, saluted Concubine Duanrong, and said loudly: "I have seen the empress, and the empress is a thousand years old."
Thousands of years old."
Concubine Duanrong looked at Li Zan with her beautiful eyes and said softly: "Li Ge, please get married."
Li Zan responded and thanked Concubine Duanrong.
Concubine Duanrong said softly: "As Mr. Li Ge said before, we don't know how to carry out the worship of Emperor Xianzong?"
Li Zan looked solemn and said: "This time, all civil and military officials went to the Ancestral Temple to pay homage to Emperor Xianzong in memory of his merits and deeds."
Duan Ronggui nodded and asked, "Has the Ancestral Temple been built?"
Li Zan said: "Going back to the Imperial Ancestral Temple, the Imperial Ancestral Temple has been renovated, and Emperor Xianzong's spiritual tablet has also been invited to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to receive incense and enshrine it."
Concubine Duanrong nodded her head. Under her delicate and upright nose, her red lips parted slightly, and she said softly: "Emperor Xianzong has worked hard for state affairs for many years and has been working hard and sleeping day and night. Now it is the Ghost Festival, so it is time for us to do so."
It’s better to worship and worship if you have a good life.”
Li Zan responded softly, raised his eyes to look at Concubine Duanrong, carefully considered his words, and whispered: "Your Majesty, the situation in Beijing has been turbulent recently. What do you think?"
Concubine Duanrong was startled for a moment and said: "I am in the harem, how can I see it?"
Li Zan thought for a while and said tentatively: "There are rumors in the capital, and even more rumors in Bashu. Does your Majesty know?"
Concubine Duanrong frowned slightly, her beautiful eyes flickered, and she said in a low voice: "I have lived in the deep palace for a long time, and I sincerely don't know about this."
Li Zan said loudly: "The rebels in the Bashu land all denounced King Wei, saying that he was filthy and disruptive to the palace, and even falsely claimed that the young master was not the son of Guangzong."
After hearing this, Concubine Duanrong said softly: "This matter is not a slanderous statement by Chen Yuan and other traitors. How can Mr. Li Ge believe it?"
Previously, Gao Zhongping, the second minister of the cabinet, had been executed for believing such words.
"Wei Chen certainly doesn't believe it." Li Zan was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked at her with clear eyes and asked, "Have you noticed anything unusual in the deep palace?"
After hearing this, Imperial Concubine Duanrong was obviously silent for a moment.
She didn't just notice something unusual. She almost saw with her own eyes that her sister and Jia Ziyu were secretly having sex with each other, and they were passionately in love.
Concubine Duanrong stared at Li Zan, her beautiful eyes filled with inexplicable meaning, and said softly: "What does Mr. Li Ge mean by saying this to me?"
Li Zan stared at Concubine Duanrong with fierce eyes, but said nothing for a moment.
