Chapter Forty-Seven: King Xiping!
But now that the barbarians have surrendered, and they have directly assigned the control of the three royal courts to Daming, everyone has reached this point, what can he do, do you want people to stand there and let you cut it.
War is not child's play, it is life and death.
Who is willing to go to the battlefield without fighting.
Zhu Qiying's face was solemn, and he kept thinking in his mind that he wanted to think of a way to get the best of both worlds, which could not only make the barbarians use the Ming Dynasty, but also not make the soldiers on the border cold.
After pondering for a moment, and glancing at the courtiers who were still arguing, Zhu Qiying's face changed, and he suddenly slapped the dragon case, and said coldly: "Shut up!"
As soon as these words came out, the hall fell silent for a moment, and the hundred officials were silent one by one, not daring to speak again.
"What's the noise, what's the noise?"
Seeing that the hall was quiet, Zhu Qiying reprimanded with a cold face: "The surrender of the barbarians is a foregone conclusion, and no one expected this matter to come so suddenly. ”
"I am also very sad about the battle of the Wolf Gate, and I can't wait to kill all the barbarians and exterminate the clan. The order I gave to General Lu Bu this time was to slaughter the tribe and exterminate the species. ”
"But now that the people have surrendered, they have dedicated the three major royal courts of the barbarians to the Ming Dynasty, and the army of 800,000 barbarians is at their disposal, and I have no reason not to agree to such conditions. ”
"The most important thing is that my Da Ming has not recovered yet, and it is very reluctant to deal with a barbarian, if at this time, the eight countries of the north and the south suddenly attack, and reproduce the chaos of the year, are you sure that Da Ming can resist this time?"
"This is war, not a child's house, and it is impossible to be impatient because of one or two people. First of all, we must put the country first, and most importantly. ”
After listening to Zhu Qiying's lecture, the ministers in the hall immediately bowed their heads and knelt down.
"The ministers are guilty! It's the ministers who don't think it through!"
Zhu Qiying sighed softly and waved her hand: "Get up." ”
"This matter still needs to be discussed in the long run, now how to appease the soldiers on the border is the most important thing, in the past two days, you and I will discuss it, draw up a holy decree, and the imperial uncle will personally go to Beihu Mansion to comfort the soldiers on the front line!"
Zhu Qiying turned his head and glanced at Zhu Changming again!
"Honorable ......!"
Zhu Changming's expression was deep and he bowed!
........................
Two days later.
Jingzhou City.
The Lord's Mansion, the Hall of the Palace.
Huangfu Zhengtian, Huo Quzhi and Lu Bu were sitting in the center of the main hall, discussing the war.
"What does the barbarian mean by this? What kind of conspiracy are they engaged in when they retreat fifty miles and do not retreat or attack?"
Huangfu Zhengtian's face was gloomy, and he whispered.
Ever since the barbarians suddenly retreated fifty miles back two days ago, the two sides have been at a stalemate here.
They couldn't figure out the situation of the barbarians, and they didn't dare to attack rashly, so they could only fight against them.
"Two generals, it's not a way to go on like this, do you two have any good strategies to break the enemy, please show it to Zhengtian?"
Huangfu Zhengtian turned his head to look at Lu Bu and Huo Quzhi and asked respectfully.
Lu Bu knew that the defense of the capital became famous in a battle, and he swept away the rebellion in the north with a martial posture of one enemy and ten thousand, and was brave.
He had heard of his prestige in the capital, admired him very much, and even regarded Lu Bu as his idol.
As for Huo Quai, although he didn't know much, he still saw the big battle three days ago clearly.
This young man of the same age as himself is also a divine warrior, and his ferocity is no less than that of Lu Bu.
With these two powerful people guarding Jingzhou City, even if the barbarians have an army of 800,000, it may not be easy to break the city.
There was a moment of silence in the main hall.
Huo Quzhi's face moved and he took the lead in speaking: "I still mean to be guard-oriented, for three reasons. ”
"First, the barbarians retreated fifty miles back, and we had no idea what they were planning, and if we attacked rashly, we would definitely fall into their ambush. ”
"Second, we are the defender of the city, they are the siege party, we still have an advantage in terms of grain and grass supply from now on, the barbarian army of 800,000 troops outside the city, originally far away from the Western Regions, if it takes a long time, the logistics will definitely not be able to keep up. ”
"Whether it's attacking or retreating, as long as we hold Jingzhou City, they can't do anything about us, as long as we drag until Your Majesty's next reinforcements, we can take advantage of the situation to counterattack. ”
"Thirdly, and most importantly, when I entered the city that day, I sensed that there were three breaths in the barbarian army camp that were not weaker than Lu Bu and me. ”
"That is to say, there are at least three Shenwu Realm martial artists in the barbarian camp, so you can't take the initiative to attack, if Lu Bu and I are dragged back, in the face of the barbarian army's 800,000 army, you can't hold Jingzhou City at all. ”
After Huo Qubing finished speaking, Lu Bu next to him also nodded, and coughed dryly: "This seat is the same as his thoughts, it is still mainly defensive, and when the second reinforcements arrive, it is not too late to counterattack!"
Huangfu Zhengtian frowned when he heard this, took a deep breath and said helplessly: "It seems that this can only be the case, then observe it for two more days." ”
But as soon as he finished speaking, a soldier suddenly ran in in a panic.
"The three generals of Qiqi, King Wu'an is here, and he has already entered the gate of the City Lord's Mansion?"
The soldier knelt on the ground and reported respectfully.
"What? King Wu'an is here?"
Huangfu Zhengtian stood up suddenly, looked at the little soldier with an incredulous expression, and then immediately said: "Hurry up and follow me to greet you!"
As he spoke, he ran out in an instant.
Soon, Zhu Changming, the king of Wu'an, was welcomed to the main hall of the mansion.
"I don't know if the prince dared to come from the capital this time, is there anything important to order!"
Huangfu Zhengtian looked at Zhu Changming suspiciously, his heart was a little shaken, now Jingzhou City is fighting the enemy with all its might, at this time King Wu'an is coming in person, there must be something big happening.
Zhu Changming stood in the center of the hall, looked at Huangfu Zhengtian with complicated eyes, sighed lightly, took out a holy decree from his sleeve, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty has a decree,"
"The last general, Emperor Fu Zhengtian, respectfully asks the emperor to bow down!"
Huangfu Zhengtian's whole body trembled, and he immediately knelt down on one knee and shouted respectfully.
In the rear, Lu Bu and Huo Qubing also knelt down.
"I'm safe!"
Zhu Changming replied, and then slowly opened the holy decree and read aloud: "Fengtian carries the emperor, Zhao said,"
"In the battle of the Wolf Gate, 100,000 sons of the Ming Dynasty buried their bones in the west, I was deeply distressed, and all the casualties were given a threefold increase in pensions, and they were knighted in order of merit. ”
"The soldiers who defend the city of Jingzhou City are also indispensable, and all the non-commissioned officers are specially given a promotion to the third level, and the amount of money is doubled, and those who have made great contributions can receive the title!"
"The old general Huangfu Yan fell to the wolf gate, the whole country is sad, and he is posthumously presented with the Ming Dynasty Pillar, the prince Taibao, the king of Zhenxi, the name of Zhongwu, and the Taimiao!".
"In addition, the Huangfu family has guarded the western border for generations, guarded the door for the country, worked hard, worked hard, and was specially sealed, and Huangfu Zhengtian was the king of Xiping, commanding the western border guards and forming the Wolf Gate Legion. ”
"Admire this !!"
