Chapter 380: Going to the Appointment
The shepherd wolf took the dragon and fire phoenix, the poisonous snake Kang Lei, and the six people of Kang Jiulong and Mu Qinghong, and went straight to Xianning, just to find Concubine Chu for revenge.
The shepherd wolf also knew that Concubine Chu must have some kind of confidence that she could persuade the commander of the Southern Expedition army to tie herself to the same boat! Therefore, another purpose of the Shepherd Wolf's trip was to rescue Yang Jie, the general of the guards, and Long Huan, the king of Ming.
Now, the previous cavalry general Han Ponu has reversed, and his whereabouts are unknown; The hussar general Yu Hualong had already made it clear that he was going to rebel, because he and Concubine Chu were grasshoppers on the same rope; And Yang Jie, the general of the guards, is also hovering on the verge of rebellion! Mu Tian Wolf felt that if he didn't pull Yang Jie back, then Long Xing, the emperor, would be too much of a failure!
As for the destruction of Chen Guo, the key lies in a general and a strategy.
This general, obviously, is Chen Guo's generalissimo, Xiao Nanzong.
As for this strategy, it is the iron rope Hengjiang that Xiao Nanzong came up with in order to target his headhunting plan.
The iron rope across the river is indeed a trouble, but it is not so that the shepherd wolf has nothing to do. Because, the rainy season is coming......
Therefore, the shepherd wolf has three purposes for this trip, to kill Concubine Chu, save Yang Jie, and destroy Chen Guo!
And at this moment, Concubine Chu has already brought Yu Xiaoxiao and the four ghosts of Pingjiang to Xianning. As for Jiangling to worship her ancestors, it was just a disguise, and she didn't even go to Jiangling at all because of her desire for victory, but came directly to Xianning!
Concubine Chu's excuse for coming to Xianning is also very righteous and awe-inspiring, that is, to inspect the front line on behalf of the Son of Heaven and reward the three armies. As for the materials for rewarding the three armies, Concubine Chu did not bring ......
For this reason, Lai Huanyan, who is the most cheap-mouthed and upright of the four wealthy families in the army, said: "It is not good for Your Majesty to send anyone, but to send a concubine, those who know that this is to reward the three armies and boost morale, but if you don't know, you think it is to send camp prostitutes to our southern expedition army!" What a damn grandma's bad luck! ”
Nanyasha He Tianfang had a good relationship with Lai Huanyan, and said: "Who said it wasn't, it was said that it was a reward for the three armies, but he didn't even bring a copper plate, not even the most basic imperial wine, a chicken neck!" I suspect that this Concubine Chu is here to make trouble! ”
It's not that Yang Cunyi doesn't want to complain a few words with everything, but it's really his father Yang Jie here, so he doesn't dare to follow Lai Huanyan and He Tianfang to talk nonsense......
Yang Jie listened to the words of the two generals under him and said, "You two are better to be cautious!" Why Concubine Chu came here has nothing to do with us, our top priority is to fight this battle well! Prince Ming had already led his troops to defend the Chen army in Yueyang Dongting Lake, and the Luo brothers in Danyang also found out that the Chen army was secretly increasing troops in Chibi, so the next main battlefield will be our Xianning! If Ben Shuai is not bad, Xiao Nanzong, the old fox, may already be waiting for us to drill under the pocket of Chibi cloth! ”
Yang Cunyi said: "Father, since we know that the opposite side is Xiao Nanzong's pocket, why do we have to drill into his pocket?" ”
Yang Jie said: "Chen Guo only has more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, and our southern expedition army has 500,000!" Now we have been blocked by Chen Guo for more than a month, even if I can wait, Your Majesty can't wait. So, knowing that the other party may have a trap, we also have to wade through it...... Let's go and get ready for battle! ”
Lai Huanyan said: "Dashuai, the last general thinks that if we want to forcibly break through Xiao Nanzong's iron cable across the river, I'm afraid it will be ugly in terms of casualty figures." Is such a victory really what we need? ”
Yang Jie sighed and said: "I don't understand, but now the civil and military officials of the imperial court are staring at our southern expeditionary army, Your Majesty has already sent two holy decrees to supervise the war, Your Majesty wants victory, what you want is the destruction of the Chen State, as for how many casualties, he doesn't care......"
I don't know what's going on, Long Xing seems to be extremely impatient in the matter of destroying Yan and Chen. At the beginning of the crusade against Yan State, Long Xing insisted on waging war against Yan State in the cold winter despite the obstruction of hundreds of officials, and this time in the southern expedition to Chen State, Long Xing's order to Yang Jie was also desperate to pacify Jiangdong as soon as possible!
Therefore, the Sky Wolf was about to start wondering if Long Xing also knew about the necromantic creatures, otherwise he would have no reason to be in such a hurry......
However, all this is very good for the shepherd, what the shepherd needs is a quick solution! However, the shepherd wolf would not do such a stupid thing of injuring eight hundred enemies and injuring oneself a thousand.
He Tianfang sighed, he, Lai Huanyan and the others were all educated and guided according to the path of famous generals, so in their creed, it was naturally best to surrender without a fight, and it was better to kill less. They are not like Shepherd Wolf and Yu Ziqiu, who have been educated since childhood to be unscrupulous for the sake of the end.
On this day, the little prince Long Tian was still imprisoned by Concubine Chu on the boat, because the Ming King Long Huan went to defend the Chen army in Dongting Lake, and was not in Xianning, so Concubine Chu could not use Long Day for the time being. Therefore, Concubine Chu decided to attack Yang Jie, the general of the guard cavalry, first......
In the evening, Yu Xiaoxiao, who had already transformed into a maid beside Concubine Chu, came to Yang Jie's tent and said, "General Qiqi Weicai, the noble concubine Niangniang has an invitation to let you go over and discuss the use of troops against Chen Guo." ”
Yang Jie had no choice but to say: "The last general knows, and when the last general cleans up, he will go to Concubine Chu's side." ”
After Yu Xiaoxiao left, Yang Cunyi said: "Father, this Concubine Chu knows how to use soldiers, she came to you over, it won't be some conspiracy, right?" Do you want the child to come with you? ”
Yang Jie said: "Don't talk nonsense!" How could Concubine Chu play any conspiracy against Ben Shuai, probably because she wanted to know our next marching plan, so that she could report to Your Majesty......"
Yang Cunyi still felt that something was wrong, and said: "The marching plan is top secret, she is just a concubine, but she has no right to know!" Father, in my opinion, you and Ben don't have to pay attention to her, even if she sues His Majesty, we will take care of it! Didn't you say that the guards that Concubine Chu brought to the south this time were shepherd wolves? Why did you bring a few guys who are not ghosts or ghosts when you came that day, and even the maid next to Concubine Chu is full of yin and evil, my father is handsome, I have to guard against it! ”
Yang Jie said: "What you say is understood by my father, but after all, she is the emperor's pillow person, if we refute her face, she often blows the pillow wind in His Majesty's ears, we Hongnong Yang, I'm afraid it will be dangerous...... Therefore, even if this appointment is a Hongmen feast, the father has to go to it! ”
Yang Cunyi was still not at ease, and persuaded him: "If it really doesn't work, the father will take He Tian and put it, with He Tian, it is estimated that the four guys around Concubine Chu will not be able to hurt the father and the handsome!" ”
Although Yang Cunyi and Lai Huanyan were not convinced by He Tianfang in terms of marching and fighting, if it was about martial arts, the two of them together were not He Tianfang's opponents! What's more, He Tianfang has now comprehended the power of the water spirit.
However, in the end, Yang Jie decided to go alone. Because Yang Jie felt that Concubine Chu had no reason to attack her, and with He Tianfang's words, it might attract Concubine Chu's disgust, because the people in the Song State Mansion were biased towards the queen, rather than towards Concubine Chu and the second prince. This can be seen from the relationship between the county lord and the seventh princess.
Since there is no palace of the Son of Heaven in this small place of Xianning, Concubine Chu still lives on the boat. The palace on the boat is no worse than an ordinary palace.
After Yang Jie boarded Concubine Chu's boat, he was immediately taken to Concubine Chu's room by Yu Xiaoxiao, who was waiting at the door.
When she saw that Yang Jie was indeed going to the appointment alone, Concubine Chu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Concubine Chu just decided that Yang Jie was a cautious person who would never dare to offend herself easily, so she was sure that she could cure Yang Jie. Because the more he doesn't want to offend someone, the less he will refuse the demands of others, especially those who are threatening to him......
If the commander of the Southern Expedition was not Yang Jie, but Ge Shuhan, Concubine Chu would definitely not have any chance. Because a person like Ge Shuhan, once he saw the emperor's concubine coming to the front line, he would definitely lead his troops to forcibly drive Concubine Chu's boat away from the front line as soon as possible, let alone go to Concubine Chu's appointment.
Ge Shuhan didn't care if you blew the wind on the emperor's pillow or not, he was in a hurry, he dared to scold Concubine Chu!
After Yang Jie saw Concubine Chu, he hurriedly saluted: "The last general Yang Jie has seen the concubine!" ”
Concubine Chu hurriedly got up and said, "Lord Guogong doesn't need to be polite, this palace is here this time, in fact, it is also here to solve problems for Lord Guogong......"
As soon as Yang Jie heard what Concubine Chu said, he hurriedly said: "The last general is dull, and I hope that the concubine will make it clear." ”
Concubine Chu no longer sat down, but walked down from the phoenix seat and walked towards Yang Jie, saying as she walked: "Can the Duke of Yue know that His Majesty is already very angry about the obstruction of the southern expedition?" According to His Majesty's expectations, it should be possible to destroy Chen Guo within a month! However, now that a month and a half have passed, the army of the Southern Expedition has not even crossed the Yangtze River. ”
Yang Jie hurriedly said in a panic: "It's the last general who is ineffective in handling things, and he has failed to live up to His Majesty's trust, and the last general is guilty!" ”
Concubine Chu suddenly changed her expression, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about Yue Guogong, didn't this palace say it, this palace came this time to solve problems for Yue Guogong!" ”
Yang Jie was a little confused, and thought that Concubine Chu's solution to the problem was to intercede for herself in front of the emperor, so he said: "Then it depends on the noble concubine Niangniang to say a few more good words for the last general in front of His Majesty......"
Concubine Chu said: "Yue Guogong misunderstood, this palace is just a concubine, and she doesn't have such a big face, so she can make Your Majesty extinguish the wrath of thunder in a few words." The so-called problem solving in this palace is actually to let the prince know how to be flexible! ”
Seeing that Yang Jie still looked confused, Concubine Chu continued: "Yue Guogong should know very well that the reason why Chen Guo was able to die and struggle for a long time was not because of the natural danger of the Yangtze River, nor because they were well-armed, but because there was a once-in-a-century famous general - Xiao Nanzong!" Therefore, this palace thinks that Yue Guogong can start from Xiao Nanzong's point, isn't it? ”
Yang Jie listened and said: "It's not a secret, Xiao Nanzong has already considered this point, but whether it is coercion and temptation, or dividing the monarch and ministers, it will not play a big role." First, Xiao Nanzong vowed to fight to the death with our Tianlong Kingdom, and secondly, Chen Guojun handed over all the power to Xiao Nanzong, so there was nothing the end of the general could do......"
When Concubine Chu heard this, she said, "Then can the Duke of Yue Guo know, why does Xiao Nan swear to the death to fight with our Tianlong Kingdom?" ”
When Yang Jie heard this, he was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "This ...... The last general does not know. ”
Concubine Chu laughed lightly a few times, returned to her phoenix seat, and said: "Yue Guogong doesn't know about this matter, but this palace is clear, Yue Guogong will listen to this palace and you slowly......"
It stands to reason that Xiao Nanzong should also know that the general trend of the Chen State has gone, and the trend of unification in the region is unstoppable, but Xiao Nanzong is unwilling to accept the superior price offered by the Tianlong Kingdom, and leads the troops to open the city and surrender.
Because behind this, there is an unknown past......
