Chapter XXXV

"Adou Ni? How did you end up here? In the newly renovated Taiyuan Royal Mansion in Jinyang City, Er Zhurong looked at He Bayue in front of him, and his face was surprised. At this time, it was only a few days since Zhu Zhao ran to talk about it.

"It's really He Bayue's guilt, like a fish in his throat, like a man's back, he can't delay it for a day!"

"Oh?" Er Zhurong narrowed his eyes: "But what is so important?" Teach Adou Ni to be so anxious? ”

He Batyue stretched out his hand and took out something from his bosom. When Er Zhurong looked at it, he saw a gold-pasted wire shaft, was it the imperial decree?

Er Zhurong's mind turned, and he had already guessed why He Batyue was here, but he didn't speak, pretending not to know, and just waited for He Batyue to speak.

Sure enough, He Bayue said: "Heavenly Pillar! His Majesty suddenly issued a decree to promote He Bayue to be a former general and a doctor in Taizhong. There was no warning before this incident, and it was inexplicable to think about it. . . He Bayue was frightened, so he hurried to Jinyang and asked Tianzhu to solve Yue's doubts. ”

Er Zhurong neither broke it nor "solved the doubt", but snorted coldly: "A dou mud!" That's what's wrong with you! You have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders, and it is important to sweep away the mountain beard, even if you have doubts, how can you get out of the battle and ignore the big responsibility? ”

He Bayue hurriedly bowed his hand: "Good Jiao Tianzhu learned that Shuobei Shanhu has been pacified a few days ago, and all the aftermath matters have been taken over by Lexiang Bo (Erzhu Dulu). I was about to lead the army back, but I suddenly received this edict, and in a hurry, I rushed back alone. In the army, Ah Yue and my second brother take care of it, and they must go out of the pool. ”

"If that's the case, I'm wrong about you." Er Zhurong smiled: "You, you, you are also anxious, this way back at a gallop, it is actually one step faster than the envoy who played the victory, no wonder I still don't know the situation in the north of Shuo." ”

"He Bayue was really frightened and confused, so he had to hurry up and meet the Heavenly Pillar."

"What's the matter?" Er Zhurong chuckled: "Ah Dou Ni, you don't need to doubt. The Son of Heaven acts with his own reasons, and our courtiers do not have to speculate... Speaking of this, Qing Piaopiao said seemingly casually: "Adou Ni has received the order, and from now on he will be the former general of my Great Wei, haha, gratifying, congratulations." ”

He Batyue's face changed sharply, and he said loudly: "He Batyue is on the table, this edict, I will not accept it!" ”

"Nonsense!" Er Zhurong's face was grim: "Is it a child's play for a major event in the court?" ”

He Batyue fell to the ground suddenly, did not speak, and threw the holy decree away with a wave of his hand.

Er Zhurong was silent for a long time, then suddenly laughed, stepped forward to help He Bayue, and laughed: "Adou Ni has great military achievements, and it is more than enough to be this former general, why be afraid?" Well, well, I know what you want. You don't have to worry about it, just be relieved to be a former general. ”

He Bayue let out a long breath at this time, and then listened to Er Zhurong continue: "You go back and rest for a few days, and when Ah Yue and their army come back, I can march and discuss." The war situation in Hebei is changeable, and I see that it has reached a critical juncture, and I am afraid that I will send troops to the east in the near future, and I will have to wait for you to contribute. ”

"Dare not to die?"

。。。。。。

He Bayue to Jinyang did not count a few days, Hou Mo Chen Yue and He Basheng led two thousand elite horsemen to return victoriously, when Er Zhurong convened the generals, the march of the army to discuss.

Er Zhu Zhao spoke first: "That Ge Rong is known as a million army, but in fact, he is just a rabble, and he is not able to hit his ears. Although our army is small, it is the strongest in the world. didn't say it, when the Tianzhu soldiers went out of Jinyang, and then ordered the king of Shangdang to lead the troops from Luoyang to the north, the two roads were sandwiched, and one drum could capture Ge Rong. ”

Er Zhu Zhao was proud, but Er Zhu Rong shook his head and said: "Half of the foot riders who stayed in Luozhong are still patrolling the southern border with the Hou (Fei Mu) of Lu County, threatening Daoyi, and they will not be able to come back for a while. Is there half of it left... The situation in Luozhong is complicated, if all of them are sent to Hebei, I am afraid that there will be some villains in the court... ”

"What do you mean?"

Er Zhurong stood like a mountain: "I will, I don't need Luoyang to send troops, my Jinyang army is enough!" ”

Although everyone was a little surprised, no one felt that it was inappropriate, because they had deep confidence in their own combat power. Er Zhu Zhao was busy responding: "It's enough." Tianzhu is mighty, the army goes, and it is invincible. ”

On the side, Erzhu Tianguang took over the conversation: "Now Shuobei Mountain Hu has been leveled, and the grain and grass are also prepared. I estimate that in less than a month, soldiers and horses from all walks of life will be able to gather in Jinyang and go east to Hebei to fight a decisive battle with the Ge thief. ”

Everyone nodded yes, but Zhu Rong shook his head again, and said in a deep voice: "I can't wait for a month, I must send troops quickly!" ”

"But why?"

"I sent sentry agents all over Hebei, and military intelligence arrived every day. Although Yecheng has no worries about breaking the city, it has to close the city and defend it, but there is no way to stop the rampant army. Ge Rong was short of food, so he plundered everywhere, and a huge Hebei called this thief to make the people miserable. Now that his forward rangers have bypassed Yecheng and arrived at Ji County (郡治吉县, present-day Weihui City, Henan Province), if he is not exterminated as soon as possible, if he is allowed to cross the river and ravage Henan, will it not be a sin? ”

As soon as these words came out, the generals in the hall looked at each other, and they were a little confused for a while--- according to Er Zhurong's usual temperament, whether Ge Rong plundered Hebei or ravaged Henan, as long as he didn't come to Shanxi, then what's the matter? What's more, this expedition to Ge Rong was already a calculation to dissipate the spirit of the chaotic army, and in Jinyang, when the chaotic army is becoming more and more scarce in food and grass, wouldn't it have a greater chance of winning?

Everyone was confused for a while, and they didn't understand why Er Zhurong suddenly changed his temper. He waited but didn't know that since the last time he was in the Heyin Palace, Er Zhurong wanted to usurp the throne but returned with a feather, and since then he has had a knot in his heart. He was bent on destroying the rebellion of the Quartet and establishing great martial arts, so as to justifiably reach the top of the Great Treasure, and that Hebei Ge Rong was the first one he decided to use to sacrifice the flag in his heart. If you can't extinguish Ge Rong in Hebei as soon as possible, but let him flow to Henan, if the thief is more powerful, wouldn't it greatly damage the reputation of Zhu Rong?

Although everyone didn't know why, in the end, Zhu Rong Jiwei came, and no one said anything to refute it. He Bayue secretly thought: If you can prevent Ge Rong from poisoning Henan, it will be a good thing anyway... When he came out of the ranks, he asked: "Then dare to ask Tianzhu, when should I send troops?" ”

Er Zhurong suddenly stretched out his right hand, and his five fingers were dilated.

"Five days?"

"That's right! It's exactly five days! ”

"Troops are going to be sent in five days?" There was an uproar in the hall, and everyone's eyes widened in disbelief their ears. Lian Er Zhu Zhao couldn't help but shout: "If you send troops within five days, I'm afraid you can only gather 10,000 iron cavalry, and the infantry is not even enough for 5,000." ”

Although the Erzhu clan is powerful in the world, and the soldiers and horses are known as the strongest in the world, in fact, if you only talk about the number, it is really not much. Except for the infantry cavalry left in Luozhong before, there are more than 10,000 cavalry in Shanxi, plus 30,000 or 40,000 foot soldiers. The cavalry and horses were fast, and almost all of them had arrived in Jinyang, but the foot soldiers were scattered in various states and counties, and they were still being assembled.

"Which one said that he was going to take the foot soldiers to Hebei?" Er Zhu Rong's voice was like a bell, and he said a shocking sentence: "And leave three thousand cavalry to guard Jinyang." I'm going to Hebei here, and it's enough to bring only 7,000 fine horses! ”

Seven thousand versus million?

The hall was silent, and everyone gasped, all of them were shocked and inexplicable.

"What? Scared? Er Zhurong sneered.

The big guy is silent.

Er Zhurong couldn't stop laughing: "Even you and others feel that seven thousand people are too few, how can he Ge Rong guess?" I feel that our army is still far away, and we will be defenseless. The so-called soldiers are fast, our army is fast and eastward, and unexpectedly stepped into Hebei, under the sudden attack, why not win? ”

The crowd was buzzing and whispering, and they were already moving.

Er Zhurong's face turned pale: "I have made up my mind!" If you're afraid of death, I won't embarrass you, take off your armor early, and get out, I'll be blind! ”

Er Zhu Zhao jumped like thunder: "I'm afraid of a bird!" Done! Although everyone had something on their minds, it was not good to fall behind at this time, so they shouted in unison: "It's done!" ”

Er Zhurong was full of pride: "Ge thief, local chicken tile dog ears!" Ladies and gentlemen, within ten days, my Er Zhu Rong will get rid of thieves for the world! ”
