Chapter 213 Ask the General to Fulfill Us
Full of confidence, ready to show his skills, lead his troops south to attack the Chen army, and recover Gao Changgong in Huainan, but he didn't expect Gao Wei to be jealous of himself, not only refused his request to increase his troops, but also issued a holy decree, let him return to Yecheng immediately, listen to the reward!
Gao Changgong, who was full of unwillingness but did not dare to disobey the will, could only give up the idea of recovering Huainan, and returned to Yecheng with the firearms captured from Xiao Yao.
Also recalled to Yecheng was Pi Jinghe, the nominal commander of the army, who was really promoted by Gao Wei and promoted to Shang Shuling! After all, Pi Jinghe took 30,000 elite soldiers to reinforce Shouyang, and then returned to Xuzhou with 30,000 elite soldiers, without any casualties, compared to his predecessor Wei Pohulai, it is also a great achievement!
Someone was promoted, naturally someone was demoted, and Sikong Zhao Yanshen was transferred out of the imperial court to do the history of Yanzhou!
Zu Yan is a treacherous and clever man, because of the struggle for power, Zu Yan and Zhao Yan are at odds, so Zu Yan found Lu Lingxuan, and the two reached a cooperation! Zu Yan gave advice to Lu Lingxuan to get rid of political enemies and seize greater power; He also supported Gao Wei to kill Gao Yan, causing Empress Dowager Hu to be imprisoned in the North Palace, and then tried to let Lu Lingxuan ascend to the position of Empress Dowager! And in return, Lu Lingxuan kept instigating Gao Wei, and then demoted Zhao Yanshen from the imperial court, drove him to Yanzhou, and finally appointed Zu Yan as a servant!
The situation of the Qi State was made into a political chaos by these ministers who slandered the dictatorship, and the miasma was smoky! After a meal, even Chen Guo's side couldn't understand it!
Originally, Wu Mingche was worried that Gao Changgong would take advantage of the victory to pursue and lead his troops to counterattack, so he immediately dispatched troops, increased the garrisons in various places, and strengthened the defense of the Huainan region, but after a busy time, what he was waiting for was the retreat of the Qi army, and even Gao Changgong and Pi Jinghe, two generals, were recalled to Yecheng!
The Qi army's initiative to retreat made the Chen army breathe a sigh of relief, and the two sides confronted each other across the Huai River, the Qi army had no intention of going south, the Chen army was unable to go north, and everyone did not attack each other, so the two sides entered a relatively peaceful situation!
The two countries are no longer at war, the Qi side is busy engaging in infighting, and the Chen side also has time to hold accountable!
Xiao Moke, who was stripped of his military power, returned to Jinling with Xiao Shilian, at this time, the forward brigade was defeated, and the news of Xiao Yao's disappearance had also been transmitted back to Jinling, shocking the entire Chen country!
The people of the entire Chen Kingdom were stunned when they heard the news: Didn't this Gao Changgong be killed by Xiao Shilang in Xuyi County and flee, so now it is the other way around, it has become Xiao Yao who was killed by Gao Changgong and fled? Isn't Xiao Shilang's infantry battalion invincible? A thousand people can capture 20,000 people, and later frightened the Qi soldiers of Chenliu County to abandon the city and flee, how can they be defeated by Gao Changgong now, only half of the five thousand Rao forward brigades are left, and those powerful weapons have been taken away by the Qi army!
"Shiro will be fine! He'll be fine! He's a man who does what he does, and he'll definitely come back and marry us! Xu Miao hugged Song Keer and cried. The eyes of the two beauties were already swollen from crying, since they heard the news that Xiao Yao was defeated and disappeared, these two beauties washed their faces with tears, hugged their heads and cried!
"Gongzi is auspicious, and his intelligence is unparalleled, there is definitely no way for the people of Qi to catch him! Boss Zu is also, the news that the spies he sent to Qi Country came back, Gao Changgong and tens of thousands of people can't catch Gongzi, so Gongzi just can't come back for the time being, we must believe in Gongzi, I believe that he will come back safely! Although Song Ke'er was comforting Xu Miao, her own tears kept flowing out, and she was also worried about Xiao Yao.
"Yes, we have to believe Shiro, I believe that he will definitely escape from the pursuit of the enemy Rao and come back safely!" Xu Miao also nodded.
"Sister Wuhua, since General Xiao came back, I haven't seen Sister Wuhua, she loves Childe so much, but now Childe is in danger, she will be fine!" Song Ke'er asked worriedly.
"I haven't seen Wuhua for a few years, I went to the Xiao family to look for her, but I found that now the Xiao family is surrounded by the forbidden army, and no one is allowed to enter! I asked my grandfather what was going on, but he wouldn't follow me! Xu Miao was also worried.
。。。。。。
The Xiao family was surrounded by the forbidden army, and it was ordered by Chen Xu! Because he heard that Xiao Moke rashly sent troops to pursue, which led to a series of things that followed, Chen Xu couldn't help but be furious, and almost didn't execute Xiao Moke on the spot!
You must know that this Xiao Yao also has a lot of weight in Chen Xu's heart, although he has not had the opportunity to summon Xiao Yao, but after the Northern Expedition began, the good news of Xiao Yao's victory was constantly presented to him: from the first person to cross the river to fight, to the breakthrough of Shouyang, and the capture of Wang Lin with his own hands, he made several great achievements within half a year! Let himself become more and more interested in this yellow-haired man from a humble background, and decide to wait for them to easily take Yingchuan County, an important town in Huaibei, like Xuyi Shouyang, and immediately summon Xiao Yao back to Jinling to participate in the palace annual banquet and see this artifact that always brings surprises to himself!
Looking at the continuous presentation of good news, Chen Xulongyan was full of longing: capture Huainan, take Huaibei, recover the Central Plains, and finally reunify! Now he suddenly heard that the forward brigade had been defeated and even Xiao Yao was missing, this bad news really made Chen Xu difficult to accept for a while, because without Xiao Yao and his magical weapons, the dream of unification in Chen Xu's heart was shattered!
So when Xiao Moke knelt down in front of Chen Xu and cried bitterly, the angry Chen Xu really wanted to fulfill him and give him death!
But fortunately, someone persuaded the angry Chen Xu, that is the prince Chen Shubao! Because this time he cooperated with Gao Changgong just to get rid of Xiao Yao, and he didn't intend to harm others, after all, Xiao Moke was also a member of Chen Guo's fierce general! As the future emperor of the Chen State, he can't do these things to destroy the Great Wall! And Xiao Shilian is also his person, and he also played an important role in this plan and made great contributions, of course Chen Shubao has to protect their father and son!
"Father, Xiao Yao is a rising star in our Chen army, and he will definitely become a general in the future! and his invincible infantry battalion, which has made great achievements for us, and now he has suffered such a catastrophe, which is really distressing! General Xiao is Xiao Yao's father-in-law, and now that Xiao Yao has suffered this catastrophe, we all feel sorry for him, and General Xiao is the most painful person! And General Xiao can't be blamed for this incident, after all, the most important reason for this incident is that Zhang Dabao under Xiao Yao's command rebelled, which caused the forward brigade to be ambushed by Gao Changgong's 30,000 troops! Chen Shubao pretended to be distressed and lamented, but his heart was already happy.
Finally get rid of Xiao Yao! Although Gao Changgong has not caught Xiao Yao yet, now that all border passes have been tightly sealed on the side of Qi State, it is simply difficult for Xiao Yao to escape back! Moreover, Gao Changgong also sent a large army to search for Xiao Yao, believing that Xiao Yao, who was not familiar with life in Qi Country, would soon be caught, and it would be impossible for him to come back alive at that time!
"I didn't expect Zhang Zhaoda to give birth to such a traitor son! If it weren't for the fact that he was terminally ill now, I would have wanted to pull him out and punish him! Chen Xu said fiercely.
In the end, under the mediation of Chen Shubao, Xiao Moke was temporarily exempted from punishment, but now Chen Xu still has to investigate the causes and consequences of this matter, and he also wants to give Xiao Moke some punishment, so he sent forbidden troops to surround the Xiao family and put Xiao Moke's entire family under house arrest! And it was Chen Shubao who led the troops to surround the Xiao family!
"General Xiao, this palace is offended! But the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, so I ask General Xiao to be patient a little longer, and when my father's anger is gone, the palace will intercede for General Xiao again! Released from house arrest! Uncle Chen pretended to be very sorry and pretended to be authentic.
"Your Highness is serious, Xiao Mou thanks His Highness for not coming! It was all up to His Royal Highness to intercede for Xiao, and the emperor opened up to me and did not behead me on the spot! And Xiao is completely to blame! If it weren't for my impulsiveness and quick success, it wouldn't have led to Shiro's uncertain life and death in Qi now, and his whereabouts are unknown! Xiao Moke said bitterly.
"Shiro's experience, this palace is also very sad, but General Xiao still has to focus on the overall situation, and can't become so depressed for Shiro alone! It's not good, even if he really has an accident, but there is nothing we can do now! General Xiao still thinks more about the people in front of him! For example, Shilian, he is also your son, who should have made contributions on the battlefield, but now he can only be useless in Jinling! Chen Shubao persuaded.
"I also know that I'm a little sorry for Shilian, but after this incident, I, Xiao Moke, have no face to lead troops to fight again, and I believe that the emperor will never reuse our Xiao family's people again!" Xiao Moke said helplessly.
"How can General Xiao be so discouraged! General Xiao's bravery, who doesn't know! Although my father still has some bitterness about General Xiao in his heart, this palace will definitely speak up for General Xiao! There is a reluctant request from this palace, I hope General Xiao can fulfill it! Uncle Chen pretended to be embarrassed.
"Your Highness, where is this, His Royal Highness is so kind to Xiao, Xiao has nothing to repay, what is there to manage, Xiao is going to the soup and the fire, and he will not give up!" Xiao Mo Kehao said angrily.
"Then the main palace will be straight! General Xiao knows that the concubine of the palace has died of illness for many years, and now the father has been letting the palace set up a new concubine, I heard that the general's Ehime Wuhua sister looks like a flower and moon, beautiful as a fairy, and knowledgeable, gentle and graceful, this palace is fortunate to see Sister Wuhua once, but also fell in love at first sight, so I want to ask General Xiao to fulfill us! "Uncle Chen is looking forward to authenticity!
