Chapter 118: Expedition
Li Shuheng looked at the ministers under the steps, with a slight layer of anger in his eyes, the fold in his right hand was tightly held in his hand, his five fingers were forced, and he trembled slightly, and he never let go for a long time, grasping something that made him very angry, as if he could vent the anger in his heart in this way. The pen is interesting, and the www.biquge.info is not, which only makes him more annoyed. "The five-year covenant has only been a long time now
? The angry face on his face looked a little hideous, and he said sharply, "Three years, only three years have passed..." The sound of the song falling down instantly lingered in the quiet hall and resounded in everyone's ears...
Li Muhua only glanced at the book that was spread out, and a faint look of surprise floated on his face, and said, "Your Majesty, don't be angry. They are a bunch of unrighteous people, treacherous, and they are just a common thing to them, so why should they be like them..."
Although Li Muhua had never read all the contents of the book, the handwriting in front of him, coupled with Li Shuheng's words, as long as he was not stupid, would guess that it was almost the same as the content of the book on the book. And Li Shuheng is like this, he has some blame for Li Muhua in his heart, complaining about what happened to him back then. But. The officials in the palace almost didn't know that the contract was just an expedient measure, just a delaying tactic at that time...
"What the king of Huai'an said is very true," said one of them, "how can they keep the faith when they are a band of savages, who do not know how to count the rites?" Now that they have committed perfidy, His Majesty's anger will only annoy him, but will not solve the matter, but will only please the enemy. For the sake of now, it's better to deal with this matter as soon as possible..."
"Do you have a plan to retreat?" Li Shuheng slowly put away the anger on his face, looked at the man and said slowly.
The man bowed his hand and said, "Now that they are attacking, they must have done everything they could." After a moment's hesitation, he said slowly, "According to the old minister's opinion, it is still the idle king who had a confrontation with them back then, and won more with less, and now the king of Yi, Li Muqi." Only he can repel such unrighteous people..."
The man said in a paragraph, but he didn't see the faint displeasure between Li Shuheng's eyebrows, nor did he see the uneasiness that slowly rose from the corners of Li Muhua's eyes, and the hint of anger that faintly surfaced in the bottom of his eyes. He only saw the hesitation on Li Shuheng's face at this time, and only saw the look of struggle in Li Shuheng's eyes.
At this time, a person said: "Kill chickens with a knife? The last general is not talented, but he will definitely cut down the enemy who committed the crime, and sacrifice his head to His Majesty to repay His Majesty's Longen..."
Hearing this, Li Shuheng's face slowly rose with a layer of joy, and he looked at this person carefully: a beard on his face, a wide mouth with fine eyes, and a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes at this time, with a faint layer of displeasure, he glanced at the person who seemed to be very dissatisfied with his words.
When Li Shuheng was still hesitating in his heart, another person said, "I am willing to be a deputy general, so as to help General Qi with a helping hand, and I will definitely kill and retreat the enemy who will attack in the future." ”
Looking at this person, Li Shuheng was overjoyed, and immediately named Qi Moyu as the general of Pingbei, Feng Tian Congyi as the deputy general, and chose one person as the vanguard, allocated 50,000 troops, and set off tomorrow.
The battle ahead has been recited in Chang'an City, how could it not reach Li Muqi's ears, but at this time Li Muqi was not worried in his heart, he knew that the two generals sent by Li Shuheng, although one of them he was a little relieved, but he knew that there was another person with him, so he put his uneasy heart in his belly, looked at the flowers and plants in the garden with peace of mind, looked at the figure between the flowers and plants, and the corners of his mouth were hooked, adding a little more beauty. Even the spring breeze beside him was a little drunk, and he was reluctant to leave...
Counting the time, the army has already rushed to the front, has been fighting with the invading enemy, perhaps at this time has won a great victory, the good news may already be on the way, and it may be possible to arrive tomorrow.
Li Shuheng sat on the dragon chair above the main hall, although the words of the officials in the hall sounded in his ears, he was thinking about the border war in his heart, and he could hardly hear the words of the officials in his ears.
As soon as the matter of the court was resolved, when the celebrant shouted "retreat from the court", he only heard a few shouts outside the hall coming slowly, flying in Li Shuheng's ears, and at this moment, I saw a soldier rushing over, holding a yellow item in his hand. Seeing that figure, and seeing the running figure, and hearing the words in his mouth, Li Shuheng was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered the celebrant to take the yellow object and read it aloud in the hall.
The celebrant finally finished reading the good news, and saw that the hall instantly sounded congratulations, as well as various words of appreciation.
During the three days, there were constantly good news from the border passes, which made Li Shuheng and the officials in the palace happy.
On this day, Li Shuheng was discussing with the officials in the palace, and he was also waiting for the good news from the border pass. The matter was almost over, but the news of the border gate was not heard for a long time. Li Shuheng couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart, and there were several reasons in his heart to comfort himself.
Just as Li Shuheng had just put down the worries in his heart, a figure suddenly appeared outside the hall, and when he saw that figure, Li Shuheng couldn't help but have an irrepressible layer of joy on his face. But when he saw the clothes on his body, the joy on his face instantly condensed on his face, and even the joyful movement of standing up began to be sluggish. His body seemed to have come to a standstill, not moving any more, no change...
The figure of that person finally slowly walked into the main hall, and at the moment he stepped in, Li Shuheng's body finally fell into the dragon chair, and he was weak, if it were not for the support of the back of the chair, he was afraid that he would have fallen. He exhaled heavily, the last glimmer of hope swirling in his heart, and he used up almost all the remaining strength in his body, and said slowly, "How is the battle ahead?" ”
The last thing Li Shuheng wanted to hear was still ringing in his ears, "Defeated..." Qi Moyu flashed a painful look on his face, struggled for a long time, and still said this sentence, his body suddenly fell to the ground, his forehead fell heavily, his body trembled violently, and his voice was shaking, "The old minister has failed His Majesty's trust, disappointed His Majesty, and the minister deserves to die..."
Looking at the figure at the bottom of the stairs, it took a long time for Li Shuheng to finally utter a word: My 50,000 army is safe at this time?
Hearing Li Shuheng's words, Qi Moyu's body trembled even more violently, and it took a long time to hear his words, "Fifty thousand horses, most of them have been broken at this time..." suddenly raised his head, looked at Li Shuheng and said loudly, "If not, if it weren't for Tian Congyi, how could there be such a defeat, and he would definitely return with a big victory..."
When Li Shuheng heard this sentence, his brows furrowed, thinking about this sentence in his heart, and thinking carefully about Tian Congyi and his person, after all, he still didn't want to believe Qi Moyu's words, but he had to doubt Tian Congyi.
At this moment, a flying report from the border came urgently. Li Shuheng hurriedly opened the letter and saw what was written on it. But there was some uneasiness in his heart, and he whispered in the ear of the celebrant priest. The celebrant nodded and hurried away. After a long time, I saw a person behind him, and when I saw that person, Qi Moyu, who was lying on the ground, turned pale in an instant, and his face was like blood...
Li Shuheng called the man in front of him, asked softly, his eyes were firmly fixed on the expression on the man's face, and he was observing Qi Moyu. After a long time, Li Shuheng waved weakly - signaling the person in front of him to retreat. Looking at Qi Moyu for a long time, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said sharply, "I had to kill you, not because of your defeat, but because of your injustice, and I actually completely shirked my own mistakes, and almost made me listen to your words..." I can forgive you for your failures, but I can't tolerate your actions. If it weren't for Tian Congyi's 10,000 soldiers and horses, who appeared behind the enemy at a critical time, all my 50,000 men and horses would have been wiped out, and how could you be here? He bled for you and almost died under the sword of the enemy, and you? ”
Li Shuheng didn't want to look at Qi Moyu anymore, and closed his eyes tightly. "Someone come, behead Qi Moyu out of the noon gate, pass his head to the army, and the corpse will be violent for three days."
Just as Li Shuheng had just settled the matter, he landed on the chair when he saw another urgent message coming. Li Shuheng opened the urgent report weakly, and his face couldn't help but be shocked, so that the celebrant read the letter to the officials, and the officials heard the content of the letter, and their faces were also shocked.
