Chapter 129: Facing the Persian Army
"What? The soldiers and horses sent by the emperor were all killed? Wei Yunxuan suddenly became anxious, "I don't know what happened to General Huazijian and General Wutong?" ”
In fact, he was still worried about Hanako Sword and Wutong in his heart.
"Lord Wang! We need to prepare for the next step now, and now there is no news from the two generals. Now, in addition to the thousands of guards under the command of the Yunwang Mansion, we can also unite the army of General Yin Jie, the commander of the Nine Gates, and the army of General Li Gang! Mr. Wen said again.
Wei Yunxuan thought about it, this incident was very urgent, and he wanted to go to see the emperor immediately, "Mr. Wen, roughly, you go to contact General Li Gang and General Yin Jie first, and I will go to the palace to see the emperor immediately!" ”
Mr. Wen and Ma roughly went to contact the two generals, while Wei Yunxuan went to the secret room to find Han Xuening first.
Han Xuening just got up, and after seeing the note left by Wei Yunxuan, she was eating breakfast.
"Xue Ning!"
"Yun Xuan! What's the matter, so urgent? Han Xuening could see Wei Yunxuan's worry at a glance.
"Oh no! The Persian army has pressed the border, and it has already broken through several passes of the Great Wei State! Wei Yunxuan said directly.
"What?" Han Xuening didn't expect the Persians to call so soon, but what was going to come was always coming, and it couldn't be avoided.
"So what are you going to do next?" Han Xuening asked.
"I'll go see the emperor right now and learn about the war! You stay in the Yunwang Mansion now and don't go out, wait for me to come back!" ”
Wei Yunxuan told Han Xue not to walk around, and after understanding the situation with the emperor, he would make the next step.
Han Xuening said: "I will wait for him to come back from the emperor, and then go back to Nanyuan Accord to inform my sisters." ”
Wei Yunxuan immediately entered the palace to see the emperor, at this time, the emperor was angry, and some ministers surrounded him.
The chief eunuch reported: "Your Majesty! The Cloud King asks to see you! ”
"Invite him in!"
The emperor was in the imperial study, and after Wei Yunxuan entered, he met the emperor.
Then, he asked, "Father! I heard that the Persian army began to attack the Great Wei State, but is there such a thing? ”
Wei Yunxuan can't tell some of the news he knows now, which will arouse everyone's suspicion that he also sent someone to the border.
Wei Zhaoji, the emperor of the Great Wei Kingdom, was now angry and said: "Yesterday, on your wedding night, the Persian army suddenly attacked three fortresses on the border of the Great Wei Kingdom. At present, the South Pass and the other passes have been captured by them, and General Li Yunhao is guarding the central pass. In addition, I have sent all the men and horses to support, but the whole situation has been destroyed at Sandaokou! ”
Only then did Wei Yunxuan know that the matter was really so serious.
"Father! The Persians have always been eyeing our Great Wei Kingdom, but they didn't expect that this time they would be so despicable and take advantage of my wedding day to raid the border of our Great Wei Kingdom. Wei Yunxuan was also very angry.
Wei Zhaoji then said to the ministers beside him: "Everyone, who is willing to lead troops to resist the Persian army? ”
Everyone knows that the Persians fought fiercely, and when Wuda was alive, only General Wuda could restrain the Persians.
Now that Wuda had been executed, there were very few generals in the entire court who could deal with the Persians.
Seeing that none of the ministers made a sound, Wei Zhaoji was also very anxious.
These generals are definitely not good, now the Great Wei State is in danger, and it is necessary to send resourceful generals to the expedition to have any hope of driving the Persians out.
Wei Yunxuan looked at it, among the ministers in the emperor's imperial study, Liu Gongquan was also among them, he didn't speak, just listened to what the emperor was saying.
Wei Yunxuan knew that this time the Persians suddenly attacked the Great Wei State, which was absolutely inseparable from Liu Gongquan.
However, now that Liu Gongquan married his daughter to him, he now said that if Liu Gongquan colluded with the Persians, he would definitely be framed by the eldest prince and the queen, and he would inevitably be imprisoned at that time.
At this point, he can only wait and see.
Suddenly, a minister proposed that the Grand Prince lead his troops to resist the Persian army.
Wei Yunxuan thought to himself that this was not bad, the eldest prince would definitely not be able to win the battle with the Persians with his subordinates.
In the past, the subordinates of the Great Prince had also fought with the Persian army many times, and none of them were won.
When the eldest prince heard the minister say that he was asked to lead the troops to the battle, he was immediately angry, but he couldn't refute it.
"Father! Although I can lead troops to fight, but this time the Persians invade our Great Wei State, we just need to send more powerful generals to meet the battle! There's no need to make such a big fuss! The eldest prince said lightly.
"And who will you send?" The emperor asked.
The eldest prince then said: "To meet the Persians, among the generals of our Great Wei State, Li Gang, the patrol general is the most capable, and I think it is most appropriate to send General Li Gang to meet the battle!" ”
The eldest prince recommended Li Gang to go for a purpose.
First, Li Gang was indeed brave and good at fighting, and could match the Persians.
Second, Li Gang is not from the faction of the great prince, this time he fought with the Persians, whether he won or lost, he would definitely be greatly injured, which weakened Li Gang's troops, and it would be much more convenient for him to deal with Li Gang and Wei Yunxuan and others in the future.
At this time, Hu Xun, the squire of the military department, also said: "The eldest prince is right, sending General Li Gang to meet the battle is the best candidate!" ”
Of course, Hu Xun wanted to recommend Li Gang to go, and his nephew the bald gangster died at the hands of Wei Yunxuan and Li Gang.
At the beginning, Li Gang's soldiers and horses and Wei Yunxuan's guards besieged Baiyun Mountain, and thousands of mountain bandits on Baiyun Mountain were annihilated. In fact, some of them are still his Hu Xun's subordinates.
Now, it is just taking this opportunity to let Li Gang send troops to fight the Persians, and after this battle, Li Gang's subordinates must have suffered heavy losses. In this way, he was relieved of this evil breath.
"Good! What the eldest prince and General Hu said was reasonable, and quickly passed Li Gang in. Wei Zhaoji also felt that asking Li Gang to lead troops to fight was the best candidate.
The chief eunuch immediately went to announce that Li Gang had come to see the emperor, and ten minutes later, Li Gang came to the imperial study.
After the salute, the emperor called Li Gang up and said, "General Li! Now that the Persian army is invading our Great Wei Kingdom, I will send you to lead your troops to meet the battle and drive the Persians out of the land of Great Wei! ”
The emperor called him to go, and Li Gang had to follow.
"Obey! Let's go and lead the army against the Persian army! ”
After Li Gang received the order, he just wanted to leave the imperial study, Wei Yunxuan stood up and said, "Father! Erchen is willing to fight the Persians with General Li! ”
Li Shaoji didn't expect that the third prince would take the initiative to fight, he was a little hesitant, after all, it was his own flesh and blood. Wei Yunxuan was the child he had with his favorite woman, and he was reluctant to let Wei Yunxuan take the risk.
"Xuan'er! I know your filial piety, this time the Persians invaded, I think General Li Gang can deal with it alone! Of course, the emperor didn't want his son to take the risk.
The eldest prince also said: "Father is right, there is nothing remarkable about the Persian army this time. It's just that a few small cities have been captured, and Wuda didn't beat the Persians to the point of calling their fathers and mothers. In my opinion, General Li Gang will not be worse than that reckless man of Wuda. ”
Wei Yunxuan didn't expect the eldest prince to make such a move.
They obviously wanted to put Li Gang to death.
