Chapter 287: The Imperial Expedition

Chapter 287

"Sure enough, let me ask you, what else did Zuo Idiot say?"

When Emperor Zhengcang heard this, he didn't explain much about it, but asked rhetorically.

Liu Heng couldn't help but be slightly stunned, thinking back to what Zuo Idiot had said, and said:

"Back to the emperor, Lord Xiaozuo has nothing else to do, just said, let Weichen be sure not to reveal his whereabouts, anything else, except for his abnormal white clothes, nothing else."

Sure enough, since this is the case, I think Zuo Idiot must have his intentions. You just do what Zuo Idiot says, don't tell people about you, I've seen Zuo Idiot. When Emperor Zhengcang heard this, he looked down at the letterhead in his hand, and said lightly while opening it.

Liu Heng couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of spit, but his doubts were deeper.

It is not difficult for Lord Xiao Zuo to do what Lord Xiao Zuo entrusted, and the reason why Liu Heng responded was only because of the friendship of his colleagues, but for the sake of Zuo Yuanfeng's face.

However, now that Emperor Zhengcang has said it again, it is a holy decree that he has to obey!

What does this little Zuo want to do? Even Emperor Zhengcang also asked him to keep it a secret like this?

But I didn't want to, I secretly guessed here that Emperor Zhengcang over there had already read Zuo Yuanfeng's handwriting completely.

The familiar handwriting on the letter was indeed written by Zuo Yuanfeng himself.

After Emperor Zhengcang read it, he pondered for a long time before putting down the letter, but he pressed one hand on the letter, raised his hand to look at Liu Heng and said:

"Liu Qing, you must have read this letter, right?"

Liu Heng arched his hand and said:

"Back to the emperor, Weichen has indeed seen it."

"Then tell me about it." Emperor Zhengcang said again.

Liu Heng nodded. After thinking about it quickly, he said:

"Your Majesty, General Zuo said in the letter. It's really puzzling to Wechen. As far as the minister knows, although the Huiqiang soldiers are fierce, the southwest iron cavalry led by General Zuo is even more perennial with the Hu people, and they will definitely not be afraid of the Huiqiang army. However, according to the general's letter, this battle was the first time that the two armies faced each other. Moreover, the number of troops sent by both sides was only 3,000, so why did the small-scale contest of 3,000 men and horses actually cause General Zuo to suffer heavy casualties. Defeated? ”

Emperor Zhengcang also had this intention, and nodded when he heard the words and said:

"What Aiqing said is exact, this is also what I can't understand."

Liu Heng nodded. Continuing to analyze:

"In this handwritten letter. General Zuo described in detail the 3,000 sergeants who attacked Huiqiang, saying that their faces were fierce and they were not afraid of being injured by swords and guns, and many of them had broken arms and legs, and they were still able to attack our army, which was really bloodthirsty. The officers and men of our army have never seen such a strange and terrifying scene, so they have been defeated. ”

"I don't know the pain, I only know the ...... of killing," Emperor Zhengcang said. Deep voice.

"That's right, that's it. Isn't it more obedient and fierce than a weapon? Fortunately, General Zuo said in his handbook that in the Huiqiang army, these people should not exceed 5,000 at most, otherwise, if all the 70,000 Huiqiang troops are like this, our army will definitely be defeated. Liu Heng also looked pale, and said in a low voice.

"Five thousand...... There are a lot of them, and there is definitely no chance of winning a contest with the same number of soldiers. In this way, it would take more than three times as many to deal with these bloodthirsty soldiers as ordinary sergeants. Emperor Zhengcang said.

Liu Heng nodded and said:

"What the emperor said is that even if our army fights against it with three times its military strength, the bloodthirsty murderous spirit shown by the Huiqiang soldiers will inevitably have an impact on our army, and the morale will be low, and there will be more than 65,000 strong soldiers and horses in Huiqiang, and our army will be in a ...... situation It's worrying......"

Emperor Zhengcang also frowned when he heard this, but for a while he remembered what Zuo Idiot said in the Buddhist hall today, and he fell silent.

Liu Heng saw that Emperor Zhengcang was silent, but he was in a heavy mood, so he sighed in confusion and said:

"How did an army that only knows bloodthirsty murder and has no fear of death for ordinary people? ……”

Destroying humanity? Bloodthirsty killing? Don't have a fear of death?

When Emperor Zhengcang heard this, he suddenly remembered what Zuo Idiot had said, and suddenly understood, gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice:

"True!"

"True?" Liu Heng was stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand what Emperor Zhengcang said.

That's right, it's real.

Liu Heng didn't know, but Emperor Zhengcang had already heard Zuo Idiot say that Song Yuqiu used the academy to improve it and use it to test the medicinal properties, and it was all used on a burly man like Dou Ba.

Now it seems that when Zuo Idiot came to see him today, he has fully understood all the tricks in it, and the piles and piles are actually one ring after another, and they are involved inside, not only so many people are involved, but also so many things involved!

Okay, good Song Yuqiu, good ...... Song Guifei!

One is an important minister of the court who has gone through two dynasties, and the other is a concubine favored by the emperor, and they all have all kinds of shameless things with Huiqiang!

The reason why I stayed in the imperial study until late at night today and didn't have the intention of sleeping was actually because Emperor Zhengcang didn't fully believe everything Zuo said today.

But right now, all kinds of things have been connected together, and the time span is so huge, it is already too much for Emperor Zhengcang to have any more doubts.

His fingers tightened and loosened, and Emperor Zhengcang remembered Liu Heng, the squire of the military department who was still standing with doubts on his face, so he said in a deep voice:

"Lord Liu, in your opinion, what should we do now?"

Liu Heng was stunned for a moment, naturally thinking that Emperor Zhengcang was asking about the northern front, so he thought for a moment and replied:

"Back to the emperor, about the front line in the north, I also ask the emperor to forgive me, Weichen...... There is no good plan, but the emperor doesn't have to worry too much, thinking that according to General Zuo's ability, he will definitely be able to deal with it, at least, there will be some countermeasures. ”

Emperor Zhengcang nodded when he heard this, but he pondered again, and Liu Heng was a little uneasy, thinking that the emperor was dissatisfied with what he said.

Liu Heng stood in place, and when he saw Emperor Zhengcang's brows furrowed, he didn't say a word, he panicked, and couldn't help but think of what the father-in-law who was leading the way on the road said.

"Lord Liu, but it takes more eyes to ......"

Multiple hearts? That's a lot......

Liu Heng couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and was about to break out, but when he was in a hurry like ants on a hot pot, he heard Emperor Zhengcang's voice coming:

"It's late at night, I also feel sleepy, it's not early, Master Liu should go back early. In the past few days, including after, Lord Liu must have to worry more. ”

Liu Heng suddenly felt relieved, exhaled a big breath, knelt down and said:

"The emperor can rest assured, Weichen will do his best not to let the emperor worry."

Emperor Zhengcang nodded, but waved his hand without saying anything.

Liu Heng got up and bowed to attack and defend and said respectfully:

"Wechen retired."

Liu Heng breathed a sigh of relief and left the palace with confidence, but he didn't want to, the 'bother' that Emperor Zhengcang said really made it difficult for him to sleep day and night.

Because, Emperor Zhengcang decided to ......
