Chapter 1002: Rapid Reinforcements
After a month, Xiao Ruide did not wait for Dong Wende to return to Beijing, but waited for Dong Wende's letter.
The four princes did not believe that the five princes would collude with Tibet, and they did not believe that the emperor would ask for the heads of the five princes. He refused to return to Beijing on the grounds that Xiao Ruide was the crown prince and the prince was eliminated.
Dong Wende was also shocked when he heard the accusations of the five princes, but he believed in the Qing Wang's family, and even more believed that Dong Ruyi would not do such a thing. As for the truth of the matter, it will be clear when he returns to Beijing. It's just that before this, he had to persuade the four princes to return to Beijing, and the emperor didn't have many princes. He couldn't watch the four princes disobey the holy decree and make mistakes on top of mistakes.
Xiao Ruide took the letter, and his heart was even more uneasy. He didn't want to add to the emperor's obstruction, so the matter of the four princes disobeying the holy decree and refusing to return to Jingzhao could not be returned now. But if he suppresses this matter, when will Dong Xiang return to the court?
Xiao Ruide scratched his head, "What the hell does that idiot of the Fourth Prince think?"
Xiao Ruide's movements suddenly stopped, and he said in his heart: "Why don't you earn some merit for Dong Xiang?" He picked up the brush and wrote: "Dong Xiang left Beijing because of the five princes, and now he is in Waite to seal the post of inspecting the imperial history and asking for the people's life." ”
He looked at the written decree stamped with the jade seal, and then he wrote another letter, and he asked Prime Minister Dong to put the people first, as for the four princes...... If you persuade him, he will be persuaded, and if he doesn't listen, let him stay in the southwest.
With such a holy decree, coupled with the people sent by Dong Ruyi to protect, Dong Wende was relieved along the way.
***
With such a holy decree, it is even more logical for Dong Wende to ask for his life for the sake of his name. He was sure that the fourth prince had thought too much, but fortunately, he had the holy purpose in his hands, and he was not in a hurry to return to Beijing. He went all the way south and did good things for the Qing officials and the people all the way.
Dong Wende's prestige in the court was not only not reduced by his departure from Beijing, but also increased the prestige of the people because of Xiao Ruide's holy decree.
Saiong lost his horse and knew that it was not a blessing, and Dong Wende became the object of envy of the DPRK and Chinese officials.
It took three months for Dong Chen to see Dong Wende's letter to her. She glared at Dong Shijie, "Is your grandmother's illness real or fake?"
The matter of the five princes is now well known, and now that there is Dong Wende's letter, if Dong Chen can't calm down and think about it, then she is a fool. After being relieved, Dong Chen felt more and more that his father would not write such a letter.
Dong Shijie saw that the fire was burning on himself, so he pushed Dong Ruyi uninterestingly. "My son really didn't know that the letter was handed over to me by Ruyi himself. ”
Dong Chen said: "If she has something, she will not tell you." I haven't thought about it in a hurry, haven't you even thought about it?"
Dong Shijie immediately said: "My son also thinks there is a problem here, but my son can't figure out why Ruyi did this." His voice became quieter and quieter, "Who knew that such a big thing would happen in Beijing." "If he had known, he would not have left.
Dong Chen's face was cold, but if you think about it carefully, it is indeed like that.
Because of the hurried journey in the past few months, they are not far from Jiangning. This is naturally not as good as passing by the door, not to mention that she has not seen her parents and younger brothers for more than ten years.
Dong Wende's letter did not change the destination of Dong Chen's party, but although she was relieved of the Chen family, she was worried about Dong Ruyi again.
Dong Chen said: "There are so many people in the imperial court, how can you let Ruyi lead the troops?"
Dong Shijie said: "It's not because of the affairs of Northern Xinjiang, don't worry about it, Ruyi has a great ability, not to mention that she brought the whole country's troops this time." He thought to himself that when he had brought the man, he would go west.
***
With Dong Ruyi's immobility, Tubo endured the most severe war in history.
Xuanyuan Yi also changed from seeing each other again at the beginning to not wanting to fight head-on.
But Dong Ruyi is still in hot pursuit, and the 800,000 army, whether it is infantry or cavalry, is all played by her.
During the three months of continuous fighting, the Tibetan royal court moved south twice. Xuanyuan Yi was forced to have no choice but to ask for troops from Great Xia.
The war dragged on for three months, and Dong Ruyi was waiting for this day. This time, she not only wanted to take Tubo, but also to protect Xiao Rui for ten years of peace in southern Xinjiang.
Dong Ruyi's prestige in the army is in full swing, and many generals only heard that King Zhou used his troops well, but now there is no one in the army who is not admired. I don't know when it started, no one called Dong Ruyi the king of Zhou, and even called Dong Ruyi a marshal in the army with pandan and cloves.
"Marshal, the conscription of Great Xia this time is only 50,000. Lilac walked into the big tent with the battle situation of the detective in front of him.
Dong Ruyi muttered, "Fifty thousand?" Her earlier guess was 200,000, and even if there were discrepancies, there shouldn't be so many.
Lilac looked at Xianglan puzzled, "It can't be that the inhuman Xia Huang is really in love with the sixth princess, right?" She couldn't think of any other reason except for her angry hair and red face.
Xianglan said lightly: "Have you forgotten why he killed his father and mother?"
Xia Mingrui's murder of his father and mother has been rumored, and he still feels creepy when he mentions cloves.
Dong Ruyi said: "Act according to the original plan, first take Tubo and these 50,000 soldiers and horses." "Xia Mingrui's idea is contrary to common sense, even if she sees through her plan, what can she do? At most, the boundary between Da Zhou and Da Xia is elongated!
The army led by Dong Ruyi harvested the territory of Tibet like a harvest.
With the decreasing territory of Tubo, just when Xuanyuan Yi was about to be cornered, Dong Ruyi received a distress letter from Xiao Ruizheng.
This is a distress letter that should have been sent to Dong Ruyi ten days ago, but the marching army is not sticking to the city, and it is not easy to find the shadow of Dong Ruyi's army. If it weren't for the fact that the messenger met the wandering vanguard, it was difficult to say whether the letter could be delivered to Dong Ruyi.
Dong Ruyi quickly opened the letter, and said in the letter: Great Xia attacked Wangcheng half a month ago, and the two cities around Wangcheng that were connected by my mistake were taken, and Wangcheng was almost lost. I urgently need to escort the people to a safe place, and Dong Xiang is still guarding the city in order to buy me and others. It was only a matter of time before Wangcheng was trapped, and Wangru rushed to the rescue.
Dong Ruyi's body couldn't help shaking, and the letter paper in his hand also fell.
Lilac held Dong Ruyi, "Marshal ......"
Xianglan quickly picked up the letter that fell on the ground and scanned it, her face changed greatly, "How can the master be in the southwest?"
Dong Ruyi stood up straight, "Order, order 10,000 light horsemen and me to set off for Wangcheng immediately, and the army will follow." ”
Xianglan said: "The slave and maid will pass it on." She said and turned to leave. She wanted to persuade Miss not to risk herself, but the master was too important to Miss.
