Chapter 37: The Idea of Detachment
Zhang Ying was slightly stunned, but she was not too surprised, she just shook her head with a sneer and said: "You say, if the imperial court knew that the forced rebellion of the two rebel armies had nothing to do with him, would this person be broken into pieces by the angry emperor." ”
Zhu Chuba was surprised by the novelty of Zhang Ying's thinking, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't help laughing, but he shook his head and said, "I guess not." The current Emperor His Majesty is a high-minded and arrogant character, I'm afraid that with the size of our two rebel armies, this Emperor Majesty has not taken it to heart at this stage. Otherwise, our army would not have developed so smoothly. ”
Zhang Ying thought deeply when she heard this. Since the uprising, the rebel army has encountered only the defenders of the cities, and the troops who have actually participated in the battle on the orders of the imperial court have so far only been the 60,000 troops brought by Timur of Chakhan. If the imperial court really wants to go all out to clean it up, I am afraid that these rebel armies will not be able to become a climate, and they will be completely wiped out by the imperial army. After all, their teams were all pulled up in a hurry, where could they compare to the regular elite troops raised by the imperial court with a lot of money.
The two talked happily, and time slipped away inadvertently.
"Anyway, it's already late at night, you can let go." Zhang Ying pretended to be calm and said.
"Huh? What the? Zhu Chuba was still immersed in the atmosphere just now, and he didn't react for a while.
Zhang Ying's expression was slightly embarrassed, and she said, "Uh...... This one...... I mean, you can let go of your hands. ”
"Oh oh......" Zhu Chuba finally reacted, and let go of his hand in a panic, but for a while he felt a sense of loss.
Zhang Ying only felt that her body suddenly relaxed, but her waist was a little cold blown by the sudden cold wind. The two looked at each other awkwardly, and Zhang Ying bowed: "Thank you tonight, this matter is very important to General Luo, and it is also very important to me." ”
Zhu Chuba felt a little embarrassed, it was obvious that he had taken advantage of other girls' nights, and in the end, the girls bowed to him and thanked him. Zhu Chuba lightly supported Zhang Ying's downward bent body, coughed lightly, and said, "That...... Miss Zhang was polite and raised her hand...... Nothing more. ”
In the end, Zhu Chuba was a little ashamed and couldn't say it anymore.
Zhang Ying still insisted on bowing, then got up and said: "It's hard work tonight, it's late at night, and it's cold after staying by the lake for a long time, so it's almost time to go back and rest." ”
Zhang Ying took off the coat that Zhu Chuba put on herself, and Zhu Chuba nodded after taking it: "Okay, go back." ”
The two walked side by side and left this ambiguous lake pavilion overnight.
That night, three people stayed awake all night. Luo Guangyu was agitated because he was holding a beautiful woman, and Zhu Chuba and Zhang Ying were because of what, it is estimated that only they know it in their hearts......
The next day, the Red Turbans marched as usual. As for what happened last night, several insiders were very tacitly silent. After Xu Jiqin knew Zhu Chuba's intentions, he took the initiative to stay behind the team very sensibly, and Luo Guangyu rode a horse to the last of the team in order to accompany Xu Jiqin. Seeing this, Yu Mingqing drove to Zhang Ying's side and asked about the result, Zhang Ying smiled playfully and nodded to indicate that everything was fine. Yu Mingqing breathed a sigh of relief and continued to move forward with confidence. Zhang Ying turned her head and looked at Zhu Chuba in front of her, her eyes were complicated. And Zhu Chuba really seems to be a nobody, talking and laughing with Han Yu.
......
Most of the capital Yanjing, inside the imperial palace.
The report of the battle of Chakhan Timur had reached the emperor's case, and Emperor Shun was furious, but he also began to be vigilant in his heart. The general of Chakhan Timur was recommended by Tokhtar, and he brought with him the 50,000 elite divisions of the Dragon and Tiger Army, and cooperated with the local city defense army, but he was also beaten to such an embarrassing situation, which had to make people start to re-examine the strength of those rabble. Emperor Shun was uneasy and summoned Totoku to discuss.
"Aiqing, Chakhan Timur was recommended to me by you, and I believe in your vision, so I sent him to suppress the rebellion, but what explanation does Aiqing have for this situation?"
He knelt on his knees and replied tremblingly: "Your Majesty is angry, because the minister knows no one and is guilty. ”
Emperor Shun waved his hand and said, "Aiqing doesn't need to panic, I don't mean to blame you, it's just that the rebellion is tight, and I am also very worried." ”
Tokhtar knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
Totokh kowtowed and said, "In Yichen's opinion, although the rebel thieves should not sit idly by, they don't need to worry too much. According to Chen's understanding, among the several rebel armies that are now powerful, Han Yu and Zhang Shicheng are the strongest. However, although Han Yu is a member of the White Lotus Sect, most of the Red Turban Army is composed of people who have repaired the Yellow River embankment. Those people don't know what to fight, but they are just a rabble, and they are vulnerable. According to the letter from General Chakhan Timur, they only suppressed our army by virtue of their abundant wealth and sophisticated equipment from nowhere. But no matter how rich they are, they can't compare to the money of the imperial court, as long as we send an army that is better equipped than them, it will be easy to break their army. ”
Emperor Shun nodded: "Good, I think the same way." But the current crisis in Yingzhou is incomprehensible, Aiqing thinks, how should I send reinforcements? ”
Totoku lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then said: "The war in Yingzhou is tight, and I am afraid that it will be too late to transfer troops from the imperial court or the front line. ”
Emperor Shun nodded slowly: "It's so good, just according to what Aiqing said." ”
Tokhtar and Emperor Shun discussed the front-line war again, until Emperor Shun was slightly tired, and Tokhtar offered to let Emperor Shun take the dragon body as the priority and go to rest.
Tokhtar exited the imperial study, looked up at the blue sky above the palace, and sighed: "The sky is so beautiful, but I can still stay under this sky safely, how long?" ”
In front of Emperor Shun, Tokhtar said that the rebel army was not worth mentioning, but did he really think so in his heart? Emperor Shun was born stubborn and self-serving, he couldn't listen to different opinions, he could climb to such a high position, and his ability to observe words and look at the meaning of the mind was naturally unparalleled in the world, and he saw Emperor Shun's disdain for the rebel army, so he followed Emperor Shun's will to devalue the rebel army worthless. In fact, in Toto's heart, he always believed that if the rebel army was not properly rectified, it would become a big trouble for the original court in the future. But if he shows his attention to the rebel army in front of Emperor Shun, it will inevitably lead to Emperor Shun's dissatisfaction. Compared with the great tribulation of the future, Tokhtar is more concerned about the glory of the present.
"Now I can only trust the ability of Chakhan Timur, and I hope he can suppress and suppress this group of rebels who don't know the height of the sky." Tokhtar shook his head and walked slowly out of the palace with a pace.
