Stepping into the temple, it was a different scene. The sound of silk and bamboo in front of the hall, the clear sound curls, the bell chime is high and low, and the six 'girls' of the Western Regions swing their waists like weak willows, dancing in the music; the air of the 'spring' and summer's 'cross' is already warm, but the light veil in the hall hangs low, wrapping the air and preventing it from circulating, so the strong smell of incense and the smell of wine are 'mixed' together, and entangled into a strange smell that makes people cover their noses. Not to mention that there are more than 20 young 'waiters' and 'women' holding delicacies in their hands and lining up, serving them in front of their knees, and they are extremely beautiful.

Surrounded by the crowd, Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, sat on the throne with a blank gaze, his wide robe was loosely pulled, and most of his 'chest' was 'naked' and 'exposed', not knowing whether he was drunk or awake. On both sides of him, two beautiful 'women' wearing half-dissolved skirts clinged to them like silk roses, and one of them sipped the wine in his sandalwood mouth and spit it out on Sima Yue's bearded face. The sweet liquor overflowed from the corners of Sima Yue's mouth and flowed down his neck and chest, so the other man ate and laughed, rubbing the dripping liquor lightly with his body, so that their clothes were soaked.

Since last year, Guanzhong and the Central Plains have been plunged into famine, and the heavy snow in winter has exacerbated the severity of the disaster, but this has not prevented high-ranking officials and nobles from getting drunk and dying. As the most respected of these high-ranking officials and nobles, even if he temporarily succumbed to the small Juancheng, the king of the East China Sea could live this incomparably luxurious life at any time. In a trance, people feel that they are not in a 'chaotic' world surrounded by beacons, but in the early days of Emperor Hui's accession, Shi Chong and Wang Kai competed to boast of the wealthy.

The county lord of Jingling had a cold face and strode in. A fluttering ribbon swept past her, and she tore it off casually, threw it on the ground, and stepped on it again.

Those who can 'serve' the nobles for a long time are the slaves and maids who are the best at observing words and 'colors', and seeing that the precious brocade worth 100 gold is treated like this, who doesn't know that the county lord of Jingling is angry? There was no need for orders, the band, the dancing women, the waiters, and the women, all retreated in small steps. The two beautiful 'women' who were hugging the King of the East China Sea may have thought that their identities were different, and their movements were a little slower, and then they almost cried out under the fierce eyes of the county lord of Jingling. They instantly realized the difference in the status of the two sides, and tremblingly knelt down and kowtowed, and retreated far away.

The King of the East Sea raised his eyes, his once well-defined face became puffy due to tiredness and excessive wine, and the bags under his eyes were even more terrifying.

"It's Jingling...... What's the matter? ”

The county lord of Jingling didn't mind that there was still wine flowing on the ground, and he knelt down meticulously and saluted: "Father, the Shile thief Kou didn't dare to take Xuchang for a long time, and he has already withdrawn from the army." I came here to ask my father to lead the army to reoccupy the important town of Xuchang and clean up the situation as soon as possible. ”

"Oh......" The expression of the King of the East Sea was a little cold, and a little frightened: "The thieves have already retreated......"

At the beginning of the first year of Yongjia, due to the emperor's intention to pro-government, the contradiction with the king of the East China Sea quickly 'intensified'. The king of the East China Sea then led hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses from the four states of Qingxu, Xu, Yanyu and Yu out of Xuchang in the capacity of Taifu Lu Shangshushi, intending to integrate the Central Plains base in the name of commanding the encirclement and suppression of Liu Bogen and Wang Mi Thief, so as to confront the imperial power with a huge advantage in strength. Under the heavy siege of the army, the thieves were defeated in an instant, Liu Bogen was given the head, and Wang Mi died in the mountains. Even in the winter of the first year of Yongjia, Shi Le, the leader of the Hebei thief Kou Kui, who had always been active in Jizhou, led his army to cross the river and join Wang Mi, it was just a disease of scabies; The Tokai Shogunate's entire shogunate firmly believed that wherever the imperial army went, it would inevitably be devastated. However, no one thought that Na Shile was not a little coward on the verge of the end, but a strong thief who was enough to turn the world upside down!

In just a few months, Nashile relied on the benefits of cavalry in the Central Plains and defeated the heavy troops of the imperial court repeatedly. In the first battle of Jiyang, Wang Zan, a general under the command of the king of the East China Sea, died in battle, and the soldiers practiced each other like a mountain, and more than 100,000 people died; Even the Yanzhou Thorn Shi Gouxi, who was known as Han Bai in the world, fought with Shi Le, and he lost more than he won, barely maintaining the situation. Soon after, the king of the East China Sea found out that Gou Xi had secretly made friends with the emperor, so he moved Gou Xi to be the general of Qingzhou and the east of the country, forcing him to stay away from Luoyang. This time, Gou Xi had no intention of fighting, and the king of the East China Sea was dealing with more and more difficulties...... It wasn't until ten days ago that Shile's light cavalry drove to Xuchang, where the shogunate was located, and the king of the East China Sea and his cronies were almost spared, and finally fled to Juancheng to settle down. Hundreds of thousands of imperial soldiers and horses collapsed, and the war situation in the Central Plains suddenly fell into a desperate situation.

Such a tragic defeat made the prestige of the King of the East China Sea almost lost among the court and the opposition, and destroyed the good situation he had created for a long time in order to go further and get into the supreme position. A strong sense of frustration crushed the 'spirit' of the King of the East China Sea, so that he, who had been modestly holding cloth for a long time, and was praised by Chinese and foreign scholars, suddenly gave up on himself. He was almost frantically immersed in the 'lust' of wine, as if this would keep him away from the pain of defeat and feel better.

"Yes, the thieves have retreated. We must seize this opportunity to regroup our forces as soon as possible and suppress the Shile thieves back to the Haidai line! The county lord of Jingling said loudly: "This is also the common meaning of Pan Changshi, Pei Zhonglang and Mr. Qingsun, and it cannot be delayed!" ”

"Oh? Oh......" The East Sea King's eyes lit up. Probably a little tired of indulging in 'lust' and drinking in the past few days, he mentioned his 'spirit' and asked, "Now Juancheng is here...... Who's leading the troops? Have all the soldiers who had fled before returned? ”

"At present, General Qian Duan is in charge of military affairs, and the affairs of the shogunate are jointly signed by Pan Changshi, Pei Zhonglang, and Kyungson. At present, more than 50,000 troops have been gathered, and if Xuchang can be recovered as soon as possible, the scattered soldiers will definitely return one after another. ”

"Haha...... Okay, ...... well," the King of the East Sea laughed with satisfaction, then shook his head again, and curled up in a sluggish manner, as if he was going to take a nap.

"Father! Father! The county lord called out repeatedly, and even stepped forward and shook the arm of the East Sea King, trying to make him sober. The king of the East China Sea waved his hand irritably, signaling the county lord of Jingling to retreat, but the county lord had no intention of leaving: "Father, in the first year of Guangxi, I went to Bingzhou to see the Duke of Dongying. At that time, the Duke of Dongying led 20,000 troops and sat on a strong city, but he did not dare to confront the Xiongnu head-on, but fled to Yecheng, which caused the situation to collapse...... At that time, my father also resented the incompetence of Dongying Gong, thinking that this generation could be called a shame for my Sima clan, and he was in a high position, like a guinea dog. Father, do you remember this? ”

The King of the East China Sea was stunned, yawned and said, "Hmm...... There is such a thing. Yuan Mai is a man who has the courage to do things, and he is also capable of doing things, alas...... It is the lack of courage at the critical moment. After casually commenting on a few words, the East China Sea King's attention suddenly turned to the other side: "Hey, what about my two kissing beauties?" Why is it gone? ”

The county lord slapped the case suddenly, and let out a deafening sound: "The situation in the Central Plains today is better than the merger of states back then, right?" But Your Highness, right now, you look at you like this, what's the difference between you and the waste of Dongying Gong! The dignified prime minister, the king of the East China Sea, and the military governors of the six states, have they also become guinea dogs? Where is your heroic strategy? ”

"Heroic Strategy? Hmph......" The King of the East Sea staggered up, squinted at the county lord, and suddenly covered his face tightly with his hands: "My good 'girl'...... Do you still think I have a heroic strategy? Is it a strategy to be driven to the sky and escape by a few thieves? Or is it a strategy that lost 100,000 soldiers in World War I and was incapable of being laughed at by the world? ”

The county lord beckoned in exchange for a servant and maid hiding in the distance, asked her to bring hot water, moistened it with a soft cloth, personally put it on the forehead of the king of the East China Sea, and scrubbed his cheeks: "Father is naturally wise and martial, otherwise how can he raise troops in the six counties and overcome obstacles and have the status of one person and ten thousand people today." However, the process will not always be smooth sailing. After the defeat of 'Dang' and 'Yin', our experience of absconding back to the East China Sea Country was much worse than it is now...... Wasn't it you who defeated the king of Chengdu and won the victory in the end? ”

Perhaps it was because of these words that the East China Sea King's emotions gradually calmed down. After walking a few steps back and forth, he became a little more sober, so he took a spoonful of water of the jade quality and sprinkled some cold water on his head.

From a certain point of view, the king of the East China Sea is indeed a powerful minister who competes for power and profit and disturbs the 'chaos' of the court, but he can become the only victor in the 'chaotic' war of the kings of the clan as the emperor and the sect, and he has his own opinions on major events, which is by no means indispensable as he usually shows; when it comes to his keen vision and accurate judgment, it can be called rare in contemporary times. With a little cheering up at this moment, he immediately 'cave' at the real priority of the moment:

"Jingling, this time the Xiongnu and Han countries mobilized with all their might, and made the Central Plains group of thieves respond, this is the idea of swallowing the world in one fell swoop, which is not trivial. Shi Le is good at using soldiers, and Pan Tao and others are far from being opponents; If you don't understand the things of marching and fighting, let alone 'messy' interference. I will do my best to maintain the situation in the Central Plains, and the place where I can use you right now is in ......"

"Luoyang." The county lord said: "Since my father can cheer up, there will be no big problem in the plains." Jingling should go to Luoyang to preside. ”

"It's a pity that you're not a man, Jingling." The king of the East China Sea looked at the county lord for a long time, and slowly smiled bitterly: "The matter of fighting against the Huns, the court and the local government have their own people to bear, you must not 'interfere'." If Luoyang is stable, it is naturally very good; Even if it was attacked by the Hu people, it was not a big deal...... Anyway, when the kings of the clan were 'mixed' wars, this city had already changed hands too many times. The purpose of your entry into Los Angeles this time is still to subdue the hostile forces in the court and the palace. If necessary, call your husband to Beijing...... Win over your husband, and then win over the Youzhou Iron Horse; With the support of Youzhou Iron Cavalry, it is possible to clean up Luoyang's internal and external enemies one by one! ”

The county lord of Jingling was silent for a while, as if he wanted to say something more, but in the end he just solemnly saluted: "Yes." ”
