Chapter 239: Suspicion
Chapter 239
"The minister thinks what General Li said is extremely true!"
"The minister thinks that General Li is far-sighted."
The courtiers then spoke up.
"Then let's settle it like this!"
Chu Qianzi nodded, waved his hand and sighed helplessly, glanced at Li Pengxue, turned around and walked back to the harem.
Li Pengxue and Chu Qianzi were scattered in the back garden of the harem, Chu Qianzi sighed and said, "Although Chu Yunguo has a strong army, it is a pity that there are many incompetent people, and a group of courtiers are completely useless except for fulfilling their duties. ”
"The emperor doesn't understand?" Li Pengxue asked puzzled.
"Do you think I don't know anything?" Chu Qianzi paused, turned his head to look at this young woman general who was only in his twenties, and said with an inexplicable smile: "Originally, your father should have married Long Penglan, the princess of the Xia Kingdom, but because Zhu Chengcai married your mother, your father has always held a grudge against you, and left a legacy for you, and he will definitely win the general of the Zhenguo in the future. ”
"Your Majesty, at the right time...."
"Okay, you don't have to say anything, you are for the sake of the community, or for revenge, but remember that the unconscious Zhu Chengcheng in your hands is our secret weapon, and he will be exchanged for at least one-third of the Xia Kingdom, with this land, Chu Yunguo will definitely be proud of the Warring States Continent, and it can also compete for male and female."
Chu Qianzi said coldly.
"The minister obeys the emperor's orders!" Li Pengxue bowed and saluted.
.....
.....
"General Cui has worked hard all the way, come, I have prepared a convulsion wine for you, hurry up and go inside."
In front of the gate of the palace, Long Zihao enthusiastically took Cui Xiong's hand and walked straight inside.
"Your Majesty, Minister.... The sin deserves death! ”
Cui Xiong didn't dare to be arrogant, and knelt directly in front of Long Zihao with an aggrieved face.
You are not only a sin that deserves death, you are an unforgivable sin, do you know what the world thinks of me now, they are laughing at me for being incompetent, I am a toothless tiger, hum! If it weren't for the fact that you still have the value of use, I would have slaughtered you a long time ago.
Long Zihao's eyes shot a hidden cold glow, which was suddenly replaced by a bright smile, and he laughed and said loudly, "General Cui Xiong, please hurry up, didn't I blame you, and you didn't lose a soldier or a general, but just lost some grain, grass and equipment, our Pingjing County is a big and rich thing, it's nothing, let's go!" ”
The group walked to the main hall, which was already full of food, Long Zihao sat directly above, pulled Cui Xiong to sit beside him, and beckoned the ministers to take their seats one by one.
It seems that there is no breath of defeat at all, but it is like welcoming the warriors who have returned triumphantly, Long Zihao pushed the cup and couldn't help but respect Cui Xiong, which made him ashamed and unbearable, only this strong wine can relieve the bitterness in his heart, one cup after another, he couldn't stop eating, and the drunkenness gradually arose.
"General Cui Xiong, I'm a little puzzled, how did you get caught by that Zhu Can?" Finally got to the point, Long Zihao put down the wine glass in his hand and couldn't help asking.
"Hey... Blame me for my momentary mistake, I miscalculated Zhu Can's dispatch time, in fact, he had already ambushed in the parting valley one step ahead, and when the army was exhausted, he would sneak attack. ”
Cui Xiong sighed and raised his head to take a sip of wine, he was really blinded by the eagle's peck, blaming himself for being too arrogant and underestimating the Zhu Can child.
"Oh... I see, it's just that I heard that there are 100,000 troops in the valley, why didn't General Cui fight back, even if you were captured at that time, you could also make that Zhu Can suffer heavy losses with an order, when the city was empty, the army attacked on its own, and Chaolong City was broken? Long Zihao asked again puzzled.
"Your Majesty, you don't know, in fact, Zhu Can is not 30,000 horses in the city, but an army of more than 200,000, those who go out of the city are just elites, there are still 200,000 in the city, 100,000 are defending the city, and 100,000 have already been ambushed in the west of the city, waiting for the army to attack and be exhausted before killing."
Cui Xiong held the table with both hands, stood up slowly, glanced at everyone around with bitterness, and grinned, "It's not that I, Cui Xiong, am greedy for life and afraid of death, but these soldiers are also born and raised by my parents, at that time, if I rashly ordered, Zhu Can's 30,000 horses would definitely rush to kill 100,000 unsuspecting soldiers in an instant, and so delayed the opportunity, when the 300,000 army was tired of attacking, his 100,000 ambush soldiers appeared, and in an instant, all the 150,000 soldiers at the West Gate had to die, and the remaining 150,000 at the North Gate would take his squad back to the city, and the morale would inevitably increase greatly, We are unable to cope with the battle, and few of the 500,000 troops will survive, but I am actually thinking about the emperor, and I can't bring back any of the 500,000 soldiers. “
"Oops.... General Cui Xiong is really a person who understands righteousness, but I heard General Cui say that he would rather die on the battlefield than surrender to the army, so bold and courageous, hum! I think it's General Cui, you are greedy for life and afraid of death. ”
"Lao Tzu is greedy for life and afraid of death, Lao Tzu fought in the north and south, and once accompanied the old prince to kill countless enemies, how could he have frowned in the face of life and death."
Cui Xiong drank loudly through the strength of the wine, he had had enough of the grievances these days, although the emperor did not say anything to punish him, but he could see that he was very annoyed, and now he was so angry that the courtiers who didn't even dare to let go of a fart in front of him fell into the well at this time, and couldn't help but be furious.
"People will change, it is undeniable that General Cui Xiong was the first general of my Pingjing County, but time has passed, General Cui Xiong must be old, old eyes are dizzy, and he can't see the war clearly, Cui Xiong has been married to the blessing over the years, he is used to enjoying the blessings, if he dies, aren't your wives who are like flowers and jade someone else's?"
"Li Shi, you dog's day, do you have the right to speak here, the emperor didn't punish Lao Tzu for half a sentence, you have a bullshit, you are an old man, when Lao Tzu accompanied the old prince to fight, you were not born yet, even the old prince never spoke to me like this back then."
Choi Woong was completely drunk.
"One sentence and one old prince, that is the first emperor, saying that now the emperor is in charge of the world, do you put the emperor in your eyes?"
Li Shi finally found an opportunity and couldn't help but ask loudly.
"Okay, don't argue, I'm here to drink with you, not to listen to your quarrel."
Long Zihao only persuaded at this time, he was listening, listening to Cui Xiong's words.
But Cui Xiong used the strength of the wine to look like he was not afraid of heaven and earth, and shouted, "Your Majesty, drive this villain out, this bastard doesn't deserve to sit here." ”
"Okay, General Cui, you've drunk too much." Long Zihao said with a displeased face.
"I didn't drink too much, I'm very sober, Li Shi is a villain, a courtier, and he can only slap his beard." Cui Xiong continued to speak.
"I'll tell you to shut up!" Long Zihao's face became deeper and deeper.
"I ....."
"Shut up, come on, carry Cui Xiong out of me." Long Zihao was furious.
"Your Majesty, I.... I haven't yet...."Cui Xiong was driven out, saying that it was a frame, but in fact there was no difference from the one who was dragged out.
"The emperor is happy and angry, this Cui Xiong has always been like this, bold and reckless, he doesn't put you in his eyes at all, the minister is really angry, please punish the emperor, minister.... Guilty. ”
This is the courtier who will come.
"Li Aiqin, please hurry up, I don't mean to blame you, okay, everyone is almost drunk, let's disperse."
Long Zihao waved his hand, as if he was a little tired and turned away, in fact, he was very tired, and the little vixen was about to hollow me out.
"Your Majesty, please stay, your subordinates don't know if you should say something?" Li Shi quietly stepped forward and exhaled in a low voice.
"Li Aiqin has no words, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Long Zihao stopped his steps.
"This ....."
"Let's go with me." Long Zihao knew that he was afraid of people talking, so he took him slowly to the palace.
"Your Majesty, you have to be careful of that Cui Xiong, why didn't Zhu Can kill him this time, I can't help but think about it, what a great honor it will be to be able to get rid of one of your generals, think about the 30,000 soldiers who have not lost a single soldier and captured the main general alive, and retreat from the enemy of 500,000, if you are exchanging something with Cui Xiong, wouldn't it be a lot of money, from Zhu Can's temperament, it can be seen that what he lacks is money and food, as well as weapons and equipment, otherwise he will not leave the armor of the soldiers, especially the 30,000 horses According to the people who came back, they are all shabby clothes, Cui Xiong is at least worth giving up a city, right? ”
Although Li Shi said something a little messy, it is not difficult to hear the deep meaning, that is, if you don't kill Cui Xiong, you should exchange him for things and things, but Zhu Can didn't kill him, didn't change it, and let him go.
"I understand what you mean, but people are old ministers, what can I do, but I still want to thank Li Aiqin for his enlightenment, you are the pillar of the country."
Long Zihao smiled faintly, can't I see this, then can I still be known as a smart person?
The next day, above the court, Long Zihao sat on it, looked at Cui Xiong, who was newly dressed, slowly stepped down from the dragon seat, and said to Cui Xiong, "General Cui, do you want to take revenge?" ”
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
"How about I give you 800,000 troops to conquer Zhu Can?"
"Thank you, Lord Longen, the minister will break Zhu Can's body into ten thousand pieces!"
