498 Three changes

With the spring breeze blowing, spring slowly returns to the land of Dongliang.

The frozen land, ravaged by the war's iron cavalry and fire, thawed inch by inch under the spring breeze, and the people of Lebanon, who were tormented by hunger, cold, and war, survived another year of suffering.

On the official road leading southwest of Jieshan to Kyoto, Ichichen's mount galloped straight to Kyoto.

"Five-hundred-mile urgent—five-hundred-mile-" The Wyvern shouted as they rode their horses, their voices hoarse.

Along the way, the post station was transferred to one station, and after galloping thousands of miles, he finally entered Beijing.

In the court of the Eastern Liang Kingdom, Emperor Zhengxi and his ministers of civil and military affairs were discussing the spring war.

"The whole winter has been dragged over in this kind of half-dead, and the Moro army is also strange, neither withdrawing nor taking the initiative to attack, I don't know what the hell is being done. Emperor Zhengxi said without raising his eyebrows.

"Your Majesty, although there are not many major battles throughout the winter, there are small frictions every three or five times, and the loss of my southwest battalion is still very serious, and now it is urgent to replenish armaments and materials, and then recruit tens of thousands of horses to replenish the past. ”

"Asking for money and food, what else can you say to me? Since the fight against the enemy, we have invested less money in Qin Jian? If this continues, no one will have a good life. Even if I own the entire Dongliang Kingdom, I can't afford to raise these hundreds of thousands of horses. ”

Yin Zuoxiang stood up: "Your Majesty, the reason why it is difficult for Qin Jian to win a complete victory is because of some constraints, if Shuai Yin is not given to him for a day, it will be difficult for him to command all the southwest battalions for a day——"

Come and ask him for a handsome seal again!

Emperor Zhengxi was secretly angry.

Suddenly, an urgent message came.

Five hundred miles expedited.

Ongoing court proceedings can only be suspended.

Emperor Zhengxi opened the fold and fixed his gaze.

"Bai Feng—again—" the Emperor muttered.

"Bai Feng?" everyone was surprised. "I haven't heard from him all winter, why did he suddenly appear again?"

Qin Jian said in the secret compromise that Bai Feng entangled a group of old subordinates, wandering in the mountains of the Great Boundary as thieves, not only robbing and burning the residents along the way, but also attacking the battlefield army of the southwest camp several times, and recently, Qin Jian's subordinates have found out that Bai Feng is ready to defect to the Moro army, and then serve as the Moro advance army to launch an attack on our Dongliang army. ”

"What? He's not dead?"

"Bai Feng, he actually surrendered to the enemy?"

"Isn't this treason?!

"That's it, it's terrible! He is very familiar with the terrain of my Dongliang, and he has led troops to fight for decades, and he knows all the secrets of my Dongliang army - if he defects to the enemy and betrays the country, and then leads the Moro army to attack my Dongliang, then we will be completely finished!"

"Your Majesty, quickly increase your troops to the southwest, and send troops to destroy Bai Feng, the dog thief, first!"

……

For a time, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu court quarreled.

Only the emperor watched quietly.

"Is there enough of the noise?" he asked with a sudden smile.

The crowd was dumbfounded.

"The secret fold was written by Qin Jian, and Qin Jian said that Bai Feng surrendered to the enemy. Ladies and gentlemen, each of us has read the text on this secret fold. But have you ever thought about it, this person who wants to defect to the enemy and commit treason is no one else, but Bai Feng, Bai Feng--who is Bai Feng? He is a person who has followed the former emperor in the southern and northern wars for decades and has made great contributions, and he is the old general and Bai Shuai who once moved the world! This is a person, he will defect to the enemy, will he commit treason? Do you think he will? Will he be? Will he be?"

Jeonghee spun around the ground like crazy, staring at everyone's eyes like a torch.

"In this world, I believe anyone who defects to the enemy and treason, and I think it is ...... to say that this Bai Feng has defected to the enemy and committed treason."

"This is indeed something that needs to be verified. Someone chimed in.

Yin Zuoxiang slowly stepped out of the ranks: "Your Majesty, Qin Jiandu is the supervisor of the secret handwriting, the white paper and black words are here, how can there be a mistake? Bai Feng Lao'er, since he returned to seclusion, he has been entrenched in the countryside for decades, and he is no longer the Bai Feng of the year, he despises Your Majesty, His Majesty has asked him not to come out five times, and he dares to humiliate the horse, hurt the Qin Ming servant, and even escaped through a fire, escaped in the mountains, gathered in the mountains and forests, and robbed the house, what is the difference between this and a robber? That's it, Your Majesty's magnanimity can be tolerated, but he doesn't know what to do, and he is actually openly treasonous, Your Majesty, you can't hesitate any longer-let's quickly increase Qin Jian's troops-"

"Newspaper - Eight hundred miles expedited" With the long message, a figure stumbled and fell to the ground, and the person fainted with both hands.

"Is the Flying Dragon Army from the Southwest Battlefield again?" everyone exclaimed.

Didn't this just come five hundred miles, and then eight hundred miles?

Emperor Zhengxi personally sat down to receive the urgent report.

Expand and take a closer look.

The crowd was worried.

The emperor's frowning brows suddenly expanded, and he laughed: "Good-good--what a white old general! What a white handsome--worthy of my good boy in Dongliang Country--"

This expression, this tone, frightened everyone.

The emperor glanced at the stunned courtiers and laughed again: "Good news-great victory in the southwest-great victory in the southwest-great victory in the southwest--Bai Feng led people to sneak into the rear camp of the Moro Kingdom and burned the grain and grass of the Moro headquarters in the middle of the night. Hahaha, this time I see that the Moro children have not eaten or drunk, why are they not leaving?"

The eight-hundred-mile fold was once again circulated and read in the hands of everyone.

A Wenchen read slowly: "Bai Feng led people to highlight the mountains and valleys, traveled hundreds of miles a day, sneaked into the rear camp of the Moro army, and set fire to the Moro grain and grass in the middle of the night. In the middle of the night, the wind was strong, the fire spread, the Moro army was in chaos in their dreams, and it was too late to rescue, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers, horses, grains and grass were all put into the sea of fire and turned into ashes. ”

"Good news, good news—congratulations, Your Majesty, this is great news!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty—"

All the ministers congratulated each other.

Emperor Zhengxi raised his head and took a deep breath, "It's indeed good news, I haven't been so happy for a long time - I want a reward, a heavy reward - quickly draw up an order, order people to rush to the southwest battlefield for 800 miles, and ask Bai Feng and Bai Lao General to take over the command of the Southwest War, and ride the Moro soldiers and horses to lose all the food and grass, and the army is unstable, so he will attack with all his strength and drive out of our land in one fell swoop!"

No one should be with the Emperor's voice.

There was silence in the hall.

Emperor Zhengxi soon noticed this strange atmosphere.

"What? You don't want to? Or what's going on? I want to reward Bai Feng heavily, not only to pardon him for the innocence of the Bai family, but also to reward him greatly when he comes back! The military power of the southwest battalion is temporarily handed over to Bai Feng to be in charge, and as for Qin Jian, let Bai Feng be Bai Feng's deputy for the time being. ”

Still no one responded.

The Emperor took a few breaths with some difficulty, and the joy on his face finally faded, and he realized that his impulse just now was really reckless.

In just one hour, there were two urgent reports in a row, and Bai Feng's crimes were still counted in front of him, how to exterminate him.

In the blink of an eye, there was good news behind him, and he changed from a thief who hid in the mountains to a loyal general who killed the enemy and served the country.

What went wrong?

"You, why don't you speak, do you have any thoughts—why do you all look at me like this?"

Emperor Zhengxi muttered to himself, spinning in place.

Anger, joy, intertwined in the heart.

"What the hell is going on? Just now it was said that he had committed treason to the country, but how could he have made another war exploit in the blink of an eye?" said a Wenchen loudly.

This phrase was like a mantra that struck everyone's heart.

Emperor Zhengxi sat back on the dragon chair.

The emperor on the dragon chair, the courtiers standing in front of the white jade steps, collectively fell silent.

The eight-hundred-mile expedited fold circulated in the hands of the courtiers, and after a turn, it returned to Yin Xiangguo's hands.

Yin Zuoxiang looked at it again and again, closed it, and slowly swallowed it out of the column: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this news is probably fraudulent." Don't you think it's strange that the handwriting on this dense fold is not the handwriting of Qin Jian and Qin Dujian, nor the handwriting of the documents under his account, the old minister looks at this font a little unfamiliar. ”

"But there is the military seal of the southwest battalion, and there is Qin Jian's handprint, this seal is complete, and it is our Flying Dragon Army's 800 miles to be delivered urgently, is there a fake?" Zhengxi immediately asked.

"Yes, it's true. ”

Lao Chen didn't say that the excerpt was fake, but said that the information in the excerpt was only afraid that it was fake. ”

Zhengxi patted the fold with one hand and looked at Yin Zuoxiang with blazing eyes.

The news did come from the battlefield of the camp in the southwest of Dongliang Kingdom. But this content ...... The courtiers looked at each other and beat drums in their hearts.

Everyone knows that over the years, Bai Feng has been a sensitive word, whether he disarmed and returned to the field to live in seclusion in Qingzhou Mansion, or His Majesty sent people to invite him three times and he didn't come out for a long time, or then suddenly the whole family disappeared in the middle of the night, and then to the unexpected victory after the repeated defeats of the Southwest Army suddenly came in Layue last year, which time did the word Bai Feng appear in such a tone on the fold?

Bai Feng has always been a sensitive word that their monarchs and ministers have avoided.

His name actually appeared on the fold this time. And it is written in such detail and clearly about the history of his great victory.

When did Qin Jian admit the existence of Bai Feng so openly?

Is this news true or false?

"Quick, send someone to the battlefield of the southwest camp to see what is going on? Quickly find out the truth and report back to the imperial court in an urgent manner!" the emperor decided.

"Your Majesty, Weichen Wang Ru is willing to go to the southwest battlefield!"

"Okay, Wang Aiqing, you are the elder of the two dynasties, you are naturally relieved to go to me, you pack up and set off immediately. ”

The Wyvern Army, who was unconscious, woke up slowly, knelt up and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, and, there's also a secret letter." ”

And also?

Superstition was handed over.

Emperor Zhengxi read aloud: "After Bai Feng and a hundred personal soldiers set fire, they took advantage of the chaos to kill into the big tent, injured the commander of Moro, and finally suffered heavy casualties and besieged the Moro tent. ”

"What?, Bai Feng is dead?"

"Dead?"

Another exclamation mingled in the court.

"Is he really dead?" After a long silence, Emperor Zhengxi was the first to break the deadlock. "How could he die? This old man, I haven't given an order here, how can he die? Even if he dies, he deserves to die at my hands, why, how can he die at the hands of the Moros? haha. White Peak. Bai Lao'er, how can you just die like this? You died, but you threw a big problem to me—what can I do......

With muttering to himself, Emperor Zhengxi fell back into the dragon chair, "Retreat from the court, I'm tired—"
