Chapter 106: Showers

Finally going to go out! After receiving the letter from his brother, Sima Teng jumped up in excitement. He has been waiting for this news since he left Luoyang last year. Originally, the two planned to catch the turtle in the urn, but Sima Ying would be on guard after Zhang Fang swept the capital. First, he sent his confidants to control the palace, and before returning to Yecheng, he ordered the general Shi Chao to lead 50,000 soldiers to guard the twelve gates of Luoyang, arresting and killing the generals of the forbidden army who opposed him. Afterwards, Shi Chao led the Zhonghu Army and stayed in the capital to intimidate hundreds of officials.

As a result, Luoyang City has no strength to rely on. Even many princes and ministers rushed to Yecheng to plead guilty to the emperor's younger brother.

Fortunately, the previous cleaning was not thorough. After a few months of silence, Sima Yue contacted Chen Bing, the general of the right guard, Lubao, Chengfu, and the former general of the King of Changsha, Shangguan Si, and secretly planned to prepare for an uprising. Naturally, this news must be delivered to his own younger brother first. At that time, he will be able to send troops to greet the world, and he will be able to encircle and suppress the King of Chengdu together!

This is a big thing! As long as this plan can be accomplished, his elder brother can immediately replace Sima Ying and hold the emperor to command the princes. Naturally, his status can also rise, so he can be a king, right

Excitedly walking around the room twice, Sima Teng calmed down a little, then sat back at the desk and hurriedly wrote a letter. After checking it carefully, he ordered: "Come here, send this letter to Youzhou and give it to Wang Pengzu!"

This Wang Pengzu was the governor of Youzhou, Wang Jun. This person also came from the Wang family in Taiyuan, but he was not a direct descendant, but the illegitimate son of the former hussar general Wang Shen. Because his father had no direct son, he just inherited the Duke of Boling. After that, he moved up step by step and occupied Youzhou for many years.

Although even his father did not like this son, he was after all the lineage of the Taiyuan Wang family. After Wang Hun and Wang Ji's father and son passed away one after another, he was the most powerful pillar of the Taiyuan Wang family. The Taiyuan country was under the rule of Bingzhou, and the governor of Bingzhou had always been on good terms with the Taiyuan Wang clan, and his relationship with him was naturally close.

With such a relationship, Wang Jun should also be informed about the matter of retribution. It just so happened that Wang Jun was originally a party of Empress Jia, and Youzhou was located on the back of Sima Ying, so the King of Chengdu was extremely suspicious of him, and he also sent the right Sima Heyan to serve as the prefect of Youzhou, thinking that he wanted to use this to curb Wang Jun. .

If he hears the news, Wang Jun will cater to him if he says it's not good. At that time, the two of them will join forces and send troops out, and tens of thousands of troops will be approaching Yecheng. How can Sima Ying have a chance to parry? Coupled with Brother A's arrangement, this is the perfect solution!

In this way, after the fall, it is time to send troops!

"Xiangguo, only the locust plagues occurred in Yunzhong and Langmeng, and the other places were relatively stable..."

Liu Xuanchang let out a sigh of relief. This was much better than he had imagined. If the entire fields were damaged, the military rations would not be available.

"That's very good. Look carefully at other places. If there is a locust plague, you must grab some food anyway. And leather, you can also sell a little while rice is cheap."

Now the food is the most important thing. After entering the customs, the Huns also began to cultivate their own crops. Otherwise, they would not be able to move just because this hurdle was caught. However, the food on hand is still too small, and we can only wait until after the uprising and snatch it from other counties. If you can raise an army of 100,000 people, you will have capital to compete for the world.

"How is the situation in Yecheng?" Liu Xuan asked again.

The confidant shook his head: "I still can't get out. Recently, the younger brother of Wang Jin Huang of Chengdu has become more and more suspicious of his officials. It is inconvenient for King Zuo Xian to go out. I'm afraid it will take a while."

This Sima boy! Liu Xuan raised his eyebrows: "I don't care so much. Send someone to clear Meng Huang's door and see if I can get a few words from him."

Meng Huangmen was Meng Jiu, Sima Ying's most favored eunuch. When he fell into Erlu and died, he had his credit. If he could get a word from Meng Jiu, Liu Yuan would be able to escape from Yecheng safely. If this way does not work, I am afraid that the only way to escape is to take risks.

It's a pity that Luoyang didn't make trouble again, Liu Xuan tapped on the desk slowly with his fingertips. If the kings of Sima can be in chaos again, it will be the best time for them to raise their troops. Just look at those people, how long can they endure Sima Ying...

"Yingzheng! Seventy acres of military fields in the west have been collected." Wang Long trotted over, sweating profusely.

His original name was Luolong, but some time ago, all the Jie people in the camp had to change their surnames to Han, and he really couldn't figure out what his family should be called, so he chose a surname that was pleasing to the eye and used it. This is really useful, even the mother-in-law at home looks at him a little bit, and also said that he would have a baby early and send it to the house to study.

Whether he can go to school or not, Wang Long doesn't care at all, but his family's military field is fundamental, and he can't be neglected at all. On weekdays, he can still be handed over to his family for management, but when he harvests in summer, he can't sit still. In case of a rain, good food will suffer!

Thanks to the Lord's forgiveness, these days they are no longer forced to practice, but they are all sent out to harvest the army fields. The method is also quite particular. Instead of taking each of them, the team pushes all the way along the field ridge. With such an arrangement, many soldiers may not be able to rank in the front of the field, and the people who work will not dare to neglect.

Wang Long didn't know what other people thought, but this idea couldn't be better for him. He is a team leader, and he has a lot of military fields, and he can't take it all by himself. In this way, hundreds of people harvest together, and the fields can be harvested in a short time. How can people not be happy!

"Take a break for a quarter of an hour!" Yi Yan stood up straight, grabbed his jacket, and wiped his face.

Even if it wasn't noon, the weather was terribly hot, and there was hardly any place to dry out. A lot of sweat slid down his chest, reflecting the firm texture of his body, as if it had been covered with oil. However, Yi Yan didn't care about the sweat on his body, but rubbed his back. Grain harvesting is not like a normal drill, you have to bow your head and bend over. After a day, there is no pain in your body, and your hands are hot and blistered and calluses are formed.

However, including him, no one in the entire battalion complained. What they harvested are their own and Paoze's fields, which are real military exploits and private property. This is all earned through hard work, who can support a family of young and old, a baby of a wife, children, parents, who would be stingy? So no matter how tight the urging is, there will be no emotions below.

The crowd crowded in the shade under the tree, drinking water and panting, like oxen that had been ploughing the land all day. Unexpectedly, Yi Yan stood up again before he could rest, and said loudly, "Continue to work, I will collect this hundred acres of land in the morning!"

There is more work to do in the afternoon. The soldiers did not dare to slack off, and got up and walked towards the distant fields. Yi Yan looked up at the sky. Fortunately, it was still cloudless. I just hope that the weather will change after all the crops in the fields are harvested.

The summer harvest lasted for half a month, and then the cattle entered the fields and began to plough the fields to rush to plant autumn crops. It was as if the timing was right. When the new grains entered the warehouse and the fields were sown, the weather changed. A shower came with the wind.

Liang Feng was wearing a single shirt, sitting under the porch, watching the heavy rain outside, and heaving a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, it was collected in time."

If it is a few days later, I am afraid that there will be no such good luck. Looking up at the young man with two shades darker to the side, he smiled and said, "It's hard for you to grab the collection this time. I'll give Buqu three days off and take a break."

Yiyan is no longer fair-skinned, and her whole body has turned into a light brown complexion. Only those eyes looked a little bluer. Seeing Liang Feng's soothing smile, the long-term fatigue seemed to disappear from him. After carefully imprinting the figure in his eyes, he said: "Some people have ulcers on their hands, and Dr. Jiang said that they need to take medicine. These people are afraid that they will have to rest for two more days."

"Is the blisters not treated in time?" Liang Feng raised his eyebrows and asked suddenly, "How are your hands?"

"It's all right."

Liang Feng didn't believe his trick: "Let me see."

Yi Yan just hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his palm. Liang Feng didn't care, grabbed it and inspected it carefully. I saw a lot of scratches and dry blisters on the thick thick cocoon above, and some blood stasis. Fortunately, there were no more serious injuries.

He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's fine. Those who are injured should be treated as soon as possible. If it's hot today, it can't be delayed."

Seeing those delicate, slender and slender fingers slip away from his palm, Yi Yan almost didn't regain his senses. After a while, he nodded.

In the air, cyan lightning tore through the dark clouds, and thunder came roaring. Liang Feng's attention was drawn, and he frowned slightly: "This rain, don't stop for a while..."

In the palace city, there was a messy sound, there were swords and guns intersecting, and there were screams and screams. But soon, these voices disappeared.

A group of armored soldiers pushed open the palace gates and broke in. The headed one walked quickly to the dragon bed: "Your Majesty, this minister is here to rescue you!"

Shrinking in the corner, the disheveled middle-aged man stammered and asked, "Sikong, why do you want to save me?"

Nobody hurt him? They were obviously sleeping, why did they break into the room and say they wanted to save the car

The corner of Sima Yue's mouth twitched, but he was used to the appearance of the emperor for a long time, and he did not show any disrespect, but said softly: "The king of Chengdu is in trouble, the queen is abolished, the prince is demoted, and the whole world is ruined. If things go on like this, the world will be in danger. Come on! That's why the minister came here with his troops, and asked Your Majesty to go on the expedition in person, and accompany the ministers to crusade against the rebels and thieves..."

"Expedition in person?" Trembling all over, the middle-aged man shook his head suddenly, "I don't want to go out, just fight it yourself. I won't go!"

When the arrow hits the string, how can you retreat? Sima Yue didn't care what the Holy Son of Heaven said, he straightened up and said loudly: "Come here, change clothes for His Majesty! Recruit three public officials and a hundred officials to discuss matters in the palace!"

A group of eunuchs and palace maids hurriedly stepped forward to replace the crown for the emperor who had not woken up. Sima Yue looked at the reluctant man with a slight smile on his lips.

As long as the Son of Heaven personally conquered, the other princes would naturally obey their orders. With righteousness and a strong army, he would like to see how Sima Ying, who is in Yecheng, will face the imperial car of Master Wang!
