Chapter 284: Guo Zixuan's accusation
After Zhu Hao dealt with Cheng Yanjin's disobedience to the military order, his face was sad for several days, sighing, Wei Xiaobao saw it in his eyes, and said very worriedly:
"Your Highness, why are you so worried!"
"Can a slave do something for you?"
Zhu Hao sighed slightly when he heard this:
"Xiaobao!"
"Now since the Great War in Shanhaiguan, there are only about 3,000 soldiers left!"
"This king has already written three letters to the imperial court, asking for additional troops to support!"
"The results are like a stone sinking into the sea, and there is no response."
"Now that the Apocalypse rifle has run out of bullets, if Houjin makes a comeback, how can this king resist it!"
"There are also intelligence officers from the Liaodong Intelligence Department, you haven't been able to contact them yet, this king predicted well, they should be cleaned up again!"
"Now the situation in Liaodong is a black eye!"
"Such a predicament, this king can not worry!"
Wei Xiaobao listened to Zhu Hao's words, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said:
"Your Highness, it's all the incompetence of the minions, so your Highness is tired!"
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, the minions will go and arrange the intelligence personnel of Liaodong again!"
Zhu Hao just sighed that there was no intelligence in Liaodong, in fact, what he was most worried about was that the reinforcements had not arrived for a long time, so after Zhu Hao saw Wei Xiaobao kneeling on the ground, he hurriedly said:
"Xiaobao, get up quickly!"
"This king just sighed, and didn't mean to blame you!"
"Now this king is more worried about the delay in the arrival of reinforcements from the imperial court!"
"Now we are just defending the city, and it is not a big problem whether there is intelligence or not!"
"As long as you don't change to all changes, it's fine, but without reinforcements, I'm afraid it will be difficult for these thousands of men and horses to hold the Shanhaiguan!"
Wei Xiaobao listened to Zhu Hao's words, and hurriedly asked:
"Your Highness, or the slave will take a trip to the capital for Your Highness!"
"Let's see why reinforcements have been delayed! Luckily? ”
Zhu Hao listened to Wei Xiaobao take the initiative to ask, and just wanted to say yes, but after a while, he shook his head and sighed:
"No!"
"This king estimates that this matter must have something to do with Wei Zhongxian!"
"It won't help you if you go back!"
"This matter has to be visited by the king himself!"
As soon as Zhu Hao's words were finished, Wei Xiaobao hurriedly said:
"Your Highness, I'm afraid this is not appropriate!"
"As the commander of the city, who will be in command when you leave the city!"
"Please think twice about this matter!"
Zhu Hao listened to Wei Xiaobao's words and knew that what Wei Xiaobao said had a certain truth, if he really left Shanhaiguan, it would definitely affect the morale and morale of the army in Shanhaiguan.
But the problem at the moment is that anyone who goes to the capital may not be able to deal with Wei Zhongxian except him, and if he comes to rescue the soldiers, in this case, only he is the most suitable to go at present.
Zhu Hao was worried for several days, just wanting to move the rescue troops, but he was afraid of affecting the morale of the army, and at the same time, he didn't want to fall into the reputation of throwing away his brother and retreating from the battlefield when he was in danger.
It is precisely because of this psychology that Zhu Hao is in a dilemma and worried.
However, Wei Xiaobao's initiative just now made Zhu Hao make up his mind, instead of taking care of his reputation and sitting and waiting for death with the more than 3,000 soldiers in the city, it is better to risk going to Beijing to ask for help.
Zhu Hao thought that maybe Houjin was newly defeated and didn't know the reality of Shanhaiguan, or the rescuers he brought back from the capital could rescue Shanhaiguan in time.
In order to avoid sitting and waiting for death, Zhu Hao, who had this kind of luck mentality, made up his mind that he would go back to the capital in person, and at the same time create some more bullets for the Apocalypse Rifle.
After Zhu Hao made up his mind, he no longer hesitated, and said to Wei Xiaobao:
"Xiaobao, you don't have to persuade you, this king has made up his mind!"
"Okay, you go and summon the generals for this king, and in a quarter of an hour, come to the meeting hall of the General Military Mansion to discuss matters!"
Wei Xiaobao looked at Zhu Hao's resolute attitude, so he stopped persuading, and turned around and walked out of the room to convey Zhu Hao's order.
A quarter of an hour later, in the meeting hall of the Shanhaiguan General Military Mansion, Zhu Hao looked at the generals who had arrived, without any hesitation, and said directly:
"This king has summoned all the generals here today to announce an important matter!"
"This king will return to Beijing with General Xu Kang tomorrow and ask the imperial court to send reinforcements to help Shanhaiguan!"
"During this period of time when this king left, Qin Bao temporarily took the position of commander, and Sun Chuanting did not have the position of deputy commander for the time being!"
The reason why Zhu Haozi issued such an order was because Qin Qiong and Sun Chuanting were both generals with commanding talents, but both of them were officers below Xu Chu.
If you want the two to unify the army, then you have to take their top boss Xu Chu away, otherwise Xu Chu will be very embarrassed, and the two will be timid.
After Zhu Hao's words were finished, he paused, and then said:
"Alright, that's it!"
"There is nothing else, the generals can disperse!"
Since the last battle to defend Shanhaiguan, Zhu Hao's status in the minds of the generals has been increasing day by day, listening to Zhu Hao's words, although the generals have their own thoughts at the moment, they have not said anything.
Zhu Hao looked at the generals and nodded with satisfaction, and at this time, Guo Zixuan stood up and said:
"Zhu Youzhen, you are a villain!"
"They are afraid of you, but Benhou is not afraid of you!"
"They don't dare to say it, Ben Hou dares to say it!"
"Tear off your mask of hypocrisy!"
"Return you to the rescuers!"
"You're really good at picking up nice words!"
"You're just, you may not be able to hold Shanhaiguan, so you just found a reason to escape!"
"You are the prince, you are delicate and expensive, you don't say anything if you run away!"
"But you let Benhou and these people stay in Shanhaiguan and use them as cannon fodder for you, are you stupid to be Benhou and these people?"
"Don't say that you don't accept Ben Hou in this way, who will be able to obey in the hearts of the people here! Who will obey the soldiers in the city? ”
Zhu Hao listened to Guo Zixuan's words, frowned slightly, he wanted to drink Guo Zixuan directly, but he keenly found that after Guo Zixuan's words were finished, all the generals hung their heads and were silent.
Zhu Hao understood in his heart that this was Guo Zixuan's words just now, which resonated in the hearts of the generals.
Zhu Hao knew that if he directly dismissed Guo Zixuan now, or punished Guo Zixuan, he would definitely plant a thunder in the hearts of the generals.
In order to take care of the emotions of the generals, Zhu Hao suppressed the urge to directly drink Guo Zixuan.
Zhu Hao took a deep breath, and then said:
"Pingnanhou, you are so angry!"
"You said that this king went back to Beijing to move the rescue soldiers in order to escape!"
"Is there any basis for what you say?"
"If you don't have any basis to say that this king is trying to escape, you should know what the crime of slandering the prince is!"
"Although you are the son of the old Xiangye Guo, you will not tolerate you without any bottom line because the old Xiangye is kind to this king!"
