Chapter 509: The Envoy's Decree (Second Update!) Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass! )
When the eunuch Pang Yuan finally arrived in Chengdu, he got a news like five thunders before he could take a break.
Feng Shuangli, the king of Qingyang, ignored everyone's opposition and resolutely raised troops to the north to attack Hanzhong.
This is really afraid of something, His Majesty has already issued a holy decree, but it is still a step slow.
Pang Yuanxin said, this King of Qingyang is really a tendon.
There is no problem in fighting the Tartars, but you can control it within the scope of Sichuan, and what to do with the troops going north. With the current strength of the Ming army in Sichuan, it is impossible to achieve the Northern Expedition.
What's more, leading the troops to go on such a big event, without the approval of the Son of Heaven, it feels somewhat strange.
It is no wonder that the Duke of Qian Guogong wrote a letter and ordered people to rush to Nanjing for 800 miles.
This King of Qingyang is indeed too worry-free.
Pang Yuan was so anxious that he turned around, as a eunuch who passed on the decree, he didn't even know who he was in this decree?
If he didn't do this errand well, how could he explain it to His Majesty the Emperor?
The little eunuch finally got a chance to go out, and he wanted to perform well, but who would have wanted to hit the wall directly, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.
Fortunately, Mu Tianbo, the prince of Qianguo, was very knowledgeable and took the initiative to comfort Pang Yuan, saying that King Qingyang was very experienced in a hundred battles.
Even if Hanzhong cannot be successfully won in this battle, it should be possible to retreat without any risk.
Pang Yuan felt a little better in his heart at this time.
Compared with Mu Tianbo, the attitude of Gongchang Wang Bai Wenxuan is a little cold.
As the former general of Xiying, he has never had a good impression of the eunuchs of the imperial court.
These people were the minions of the emperor and completely represented the imperial power.
However, indifference is indifference, and the basic etiquette is still exhausted.
After all, he didn't want to make too much trouble, and the Son of Heaven still had to give face.
This holy decree was given to Feng Shuangli, and he was almost like this.
Right now, Pang Yuan doesn't seem to have much to do except stay in Chengdu City and wait for news.
After all, the battlefield is not where he should go.
And even if he rushes to Hanzhong now, he may not be able to meet Feng Shuangli, and he is likely to meet Tartar.
It's better to stay in Chengdu honestly and wait for news.
Regardless of whether Feng Shuangli won the battle or was defeated, he would soon be able to get the result.
Sure enough, just three days after Pang Yuan arrived in Chengdu, Feng Shuangli led his troops back to Chengdu City.
The teacher said that Feng Shuangli's attack on Hanzhong this time could not be regarded as a failure, at least not a fiasco.
In a sense, Feng Shuangli even beat Li Guoying who lost his armor and fled in embarrassment.
It's just that he didn't take Hanzhong.
But judging by the state of the army, at first glance it is indeed very tired.
After this great battle, all the soldiers could not fight with any spirit.
If it weren't for the heads of the Qing soldiers hanging on their horses, I was afraid that Pang Yuan would really think that they had lost the battle.
But having these heads at least proves that the scene is not ugly.
That's good, that's good.
Pang Yuan sighed in his heart.
He finally came to deliver the decree once, but he didn't want to make too much trouble.
Feng Shuangli also learned the news of the arrival of the envoy in Chengdu after entering the city.
Now that I think about it, it does seem a little reckless for him to lead his troops north.
Although the fluke did not cause any big mistakes, there is still some fear when you think about it.
If he hadn't won that ambush battle, or if he hadn't met Zhao Sanhu, the guide, maybe the whole battle would have gone in a different direction.
If Li Guoying won a complete victory, his disgraced withdrawal would be a devastating blow to the morale of the Ming army.
The Son of Heaven should have also seen this, so he sent down a holy decree and ordered the eunuchs to come to Chengdu to deliver the decree.
At first, Feng Shuangli's attitude towards the emperor was somewhat disdainful.
He felt that Zhu Youlang was only able to ascend the throne as emperor in this troubled era because of his noble blood.
And these people rely on strength.
If they didn't have the strength, they would have been swallowed up by others in this troubled world.
But through thinking about it in the past two years, Feng Shuangli realized that the Son of Heaven still has something.
Although it may not be as civil and military as King Jin, it can also be regarded as outstanding among the descendants of the Zhu family.
Of course, Feng Shuangli's arrogance from the bottom of his heart still allowed him to maintain a certain degree of independence and not be completely attached to the imperial court.
This is also the reason why he resolutely led his troops north to crusade against Li Guoying this time.
If the court didn't make a gesture, then he Feng Shuangli would do it himself.
Although it turned out that he was a little impulsive later, at least Feng Shuangli would not regret his choice.
Just like a child who has done something wrong and is going to be beaten by his parents, Feng Shuangli knows very well what it means for the Son of Heaven to send an envoy to Chengdu.
However, Feng Shuangli was not afraid.
The Son of Heaven should not indiscriminately punish him for serious crimes.
He could personally go to Nanjing to plead to the Son of Heaven.
After returning to Chengdu, Feng Shuangli didn't even change out of his military uniform, and went to the garrison mansion to receive the decree in person.
Pang Yuan had already ordered someone to prepare the incense case, and when he saw Feng Shuangli coming, he began to pass the decree in a frustrated manner.
Feng Shuangli listened very seriously, and when he saw that the Son of Heaven just transferred him to Nanjing, he breathed a sigh of relief.
However, when the Son of Heaven drafted the decree, he should not have known that he had already set out on an expedition, right?
In any case, at least he had the opportunity to meet the Son of Heaven in person to explain the situation, and that would be enough.
"Chen Feng Shuangli commands!"
At this time, there is no need to defend too much, and the more justification, the more it shows that the heart is empty.
Feng Shuangli accepted the decree very respectfully, and Pang Yuan smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty doesn't know that the King of Qingyang has led his troops to go on an expedition, so it's better for the prince to pack up and go to Nanjing with our family to personally present his feelings to Your Majesty." ”
Feng Shuangli nodded and said, "This king also has this intention. ”
Bai Wenxuan was already ready to see the joke, but at this moment, the envoy was not too mean, so he only patted his chest and said: "King Qingyang can go with confidence, there is this king here, and he will never let the Tartars have the slightest opportunity." ”
The matter has come to this, and Feng Shuangli doesn't want to say anything more to Bai Wenxuan.
"In this way, it depends on King Gongchang."
After a pause, Feng Shuangli turned to Pang Yuan and said, "There is a sentence that this king doesn't know whether to say or not. ”
Pang Yuan hurriedly said: "But it doesn't hurt to say that the prince. ”
Feng Shuangli sighed and said, "Can this army be taken away by this king?" ”
Pang Yuan's face changed when he heard this.
This King of Qingyang really dares to say it.
His Majesty only told King Qingyang to go to Nanjing as soon as possible after receiving the decree, but he did not say that Feng Shuangli's subordinates would enter Beijing together.
As a vassal king and a heavy army, what do you want to do when you raise troops into Beijing at this time?
Pang Yuan swallowed a mouthful of foam and said, "King Qingyang, I'm afraid this is not good?" ”
Feng Shuangli knew that Pang Yuan would say this, but he still wanted to fight again.
"These are all soldiers brought out by the king himself, and it is not safe to hand them over to others to command. However, the envoy can rest assured that this king will only bring this army to Anqing Mansion, not Jinling. ”
