Chapter 100: Discord
That's right, Xiao Yao and Zu Yuan are indeed planning a discord plan against Gao Changgong and Gao Wei, the king of Lanling!
Chen's Northern Expedition has been suspended, when the defenders of Qi on the north bank of the Yangtze River saw that the Chen army on the south bank had actually withdrawn a large number of warships and troops, at first they thought it was Chen's suspicious plan, and then the information recovered from Chen's State turned out to be a storm that disrupted the deployment of Chen's Northern Expedition!
Gao Changgong, the commander of the defenders of the Qi State, was also very happy to hear this report, and let the Chen army retreat without a fight before the battle began, even God was on the side of the Qi State!
But later, the news came that Chen Guo was building a lot of construction and holding various sacrificial activities, which did not seem to be a difficult situation after the disaster at all, but gave people the feeling that Chen Guo was a peaceful and prosperous world, and the country was peaceful and peaceful! This makes Gao Changgong a little confused.
Finally, recently, a saying began to circulate in the army: Chen Guo's Northern Expedition had been prepared for a long time, but it turned out that it was the reinforcements led by the famous general Gao Chang Power to the south, and Chen Guo was immediately frightened to withdraw his troops and did not dare to go on the Northern Expedition! The king of Lanling is high and long-acting, and no one in the world knows him! Not only was he born in the royal family, but he was also beautiful, and the most important thing was that he was a brave and invincible general!
At this critical juncture, Gao Changgong wore a hideous mask and led 500 cavalry to decisively rush into the encirclement of Zhou, and then led the defenders in the city to kill the enemy, and then led the defenders in the city to kill the enemy, and the Zhou army was defeated, Gao Changgong relieved the siege of Kim Yong Yong, and became famous in the world!
Since then, the handsome guy Gao Changgong has become the god of war in the minds of Qi Jun, and people have even created the 'Lanling King's Entrance Song' to praise his great achievements.
So now he personally led the army south, which shocked Chen Guo in one fell swoop, causing Chen Guo to withdraw his troops, this reason is also very reasonable, and the generals in the army seem to be more willing to accept this reason, because Gao Changgong is their god of war!
But this statement made Gao Changgong uneasy: originally because of the sentence 'state affairs are family affairs', which attracted the suspicion of Emperor Gao Wei, and the last time he was above the court, he even said that he wanted to be the commander of the 100,000 army, which made Gao Wei even more seriously dissatisfied with his cousin, causing him to lead 30,000 elite soldiers to the south, and he had to say that even if he died in battle, he would not let Chen Jun cross the Yangtze River, and such an oath temporarily dispelled Gao Wei's doubts.
Now that Chen Guo has really withdrawn from the army, he is also relieved, but he suddenly heard that the soldiers in the army are so elevated themselves, and they have all the credit for Chen Guo's withdrawal on their heads, and suddenly let themselves sleep and eat: This is a big taboo!
And just when Gao Changgong was upset and panicked, the sugar caravan of the General Commodity Bank had also arrived in Yecheng, because white sugar was also a sought-after product in the Imperial Palace of Qi State, so the caravan of the General Commodity Bank was warmly welcomed by Gao Wei, and Lu Lingxuan's son, the confidant Mu Tiva, was personally received.
At the banquet, Mu Ti Po toasted cup after glass and said: "Steward Li, thank you for sending this sweet as honey, white as frost, and fine as sand sugar to our emperor, and the emperor loves the desserts made of this sugar very much!" ”
"General Mu is too polite, if it weren't for General Mu's care, how could the white sugar of our general trading house be so easily tasted by Emperor Qi?" Steward Li said politely, he is the person sent by Zu Yuan to spread rumors!
"Haha, although the general firm is a rising star that has only been established in the past two years, but your products are famous all over the world, how can the emperor not know that these sugars, not only the emperor loves to eat, but even our ministers love to eat them, but you have only shipped so many hundred catties in a few months, so that some people can't buy it with money!" Mu Tiva said with a look of disappointment.
"General Mu rest assured! I have prepared 50 catties of white sugar, and I will send it to General Mu's house later! Steward Li also heard the meaning of Mu Tipo's words.
"Steward Li is so polite, so generous! Come, General Ben will toast you again! Having received the benefits, Mutiva was so happy that she toasted a few more large glasses.
After the five flavors of the food and the three rounds of wine, everyone was a little drunk, and Mu Tipo asked casually: "I heard that your Chen State has prepared a northern expedition of 100,000 troops, why did Emperor Chen still let your general firm go north to trade?" ”
It's finally time to find out! Steward Li was secretly happy in his heart, and then pretended to be drunk and said: "They fight their battles, we do our business, irrelevant!" Plus, can't you fight now! ”
"I heard that you Chen Guo had a typhoon, swept through Wuxing, hit Jinling hard, and finally had to take out the silver from the Northern Expedition to relieve the disaster, so that you could not go on the Northern Expedition, is this storm very big? Our Qi country is located in the north, and we haven't seen a hurricane yet! Mutipa asked, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Wherever a great wind disaster is, it's an ordinary hurricane! At that time, I was also in Jinling, and it had been dry for a few days, and as a result, it rained a few times, and the fields were not wet even half an inch! Steward Li said.
"Then why did your Chen army suddenly withdraw its troops? Didn't you say that you have been preparing for several years to cross the Yangtze River at any time? Mutiva asked, feigning curiosity.
"yes, it's been preparing for years, and you think a hurricane will stop them from fighting? Our Chen Guo will be hit by hurricanes every year, and the Northern Expedition has been preparing for two years, do you think those generals did not anticipate the interference of hurricanes when preparing for the Northern Expedition? So to say that it was because of the hurricane that led to the cancellation of the Northern Expedition, that's decent words! Steward Li argued.
"It is indeed reasonable, marching and fighting and arranging troops will definitely take into account the change of weather! If it wasn't a hurricane that led to the withdrawal of troops, then what was the reason for the withdrawal of the army like this, wasn't it a waste of two years of preparation? Mutiva continued to ask.
"It's not because of your famous generals of the Qi country!" Steward Li said fiercely.
"What does it have to do with Captain Gao, although he led the army south, hasn't this battle been fought yet?" Mu Ti Po was stunned for a moment and hurriedly asked.
"Alas, I really envy that your Qi State can produce such a famous general, 500 people can defeat hundreds of thousands of troops of the Zhou State! We, Chen Guo, have only recruited 100,000 troops this time, and who of those generals dares to go into battle against Gao Changgong! Steward Li picked up the wine glass and dried it halfway, and continued, "For this reason, the emperor was furious, and scolded Wu Mingche, the governor of the Northern Expedition, in the court, saying that he was as timid as a mouse, and he was cowardly before fighting!" Guess how this Wu Mingche answered? ”
"How do you answer?" Mutipa asked nervously.
"He said that even if you Emperor Qi drove the expedition in person, he would dare to fight with it, but this high and long merit is not extraordinary! The soul of Qi lies in the Gao family, and the spirit of the Gao family is Gao Changgong! Therefore, this Gao Changgong not only looks like Pan An, but also has outstanding talent and strong martial arts. ”
"Therefore, Gao Changgong must be the chosen one, there is a method of seizing heaven and earth, and the unfathomable technique of gods and ghosts, and now even God is helping him, causing no one in the entire Chen Kingdom to dare to fight against him, because if he goes against the sky, he will be punished by God, and this storm is a warning!"
In the end, even the emperor was afraid, and immediately issued an order to stop the Northern Expedition, and also ordered Buddhist temples and temples all over the country to worship the Buddha devoutly, praying for God's forgiveness! You see, now we in Chen Guo are holding all kinds of blessing activities, just because of your high skills! ”
After finishing speaking, Steward Li still pretended to have a frightened expression on his face, and drank three glasses of wine in a row to suppress his shock.
"This, this Gao Taiwei is really so powerful, the three words of Gao Changgong scared you so much that you didn't dare to go on the Northern Expedition?" Mu Tiva thought it was a bit exaggerated.
"In Chen Guo, the three words of Gao Changgong are the existence that can stop children's crying!" Steward Li shouted and fell on the wine table, drunk and fainted!
