Chapter 535: Expedition
On the second day of the new year, Ye Yunsan will take his family and relatives to northern Xinjiang, Daning will officially start the countdown to the battle with Heiwu at this moment, everyone has a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the Baoji Hall, but also because His Majesty cares, cares about Ye Yunsan, cares about Shen Leng, and cares about everyone.
But in the sound of firecrackers on the first day of the Lunar New Year, an urgent military report from southern Xinjiang arrived in Chang'an, and the person who delivered the military newspaper looked tired and collapsed, and after the military newspaper was handed into the palace, he fell to the ground and couldn't stand up.
The general of the Daning Navy Division, the commander of the three places in the south of the country, Zhuang Yong, had an accident.
A while ago, I received a good news from Zhuang Yong, the Daning soldiers have besieged the capital city, and the city is just around the corner, but the news on the morning of the first day of the new year is not festive.
Zhuang Yong was seriously injured.
Besieged the capital city, unable to attack it for a long time, Zhuang Yong personally went into battle to supervise the battle, and was accidentally injured.
The emperor sat behind his desk, his military newspaper sliding down the table.
"He wanted to give me good news a year ago."
The emperor's gaze was a little wandering: "Rumor Shen Leng entered the palace." ”
Half an hour later, Shen Leng, who had barely slept all night because of Chinese New Year's Eve, rushed to the East Nuan Pavilion of Weiyang Palace.
His Majesty handed the report to Shen Leng, and Shen Leng's face turned pale after reading it.
"Take Shen Xiaosong with you, and then I will let the Tai Hospital choose the most powerful person to come out and go with you, I know that it will take a few months to seek establishment at the earliest, I only hope that Zhuang Yong can wait, he was hit through the lower abdomen by the iron feather arrow, you ......"
The emperor looked at Shen Leng: "You have to hurry." ”
Shen Leng turned around and walked out: "The minister will set off immediately." ”
"Shen Leng."
The Emperor shouted.
Shen Leng stopped: "What else does Your Majesty have to order?" ”
"What if...... Zhuang Yong had an accident and slaughtered me to establish the capital. ”
"Yes."
Shen Leng strode out.
After going home from the palace, Shen Leng ordered his subordinates to go to the forbidden army camp to inform Chen Ran that they should immediately reorganize their armaments, he packed his luggage at home, and before going out, Shen Leng squatted in front of the tea master, his ears were close to the tea master's lower abdomen, and he hugged her for a while.
"At home, you just have to rest assured, although Mr. is going with you, there is still Sister Lin and them, besides, Concubine Zhen has already let me live in her palace, everything will be fine with our mother, you just go and save General Zhuang."
Shen Leng stood up, hugged the tea master and kissed him vigorously: "Before the child is born, I will try my best to rush back." ”
He went out and rubbed the black mastiff squatting at the door: "I'm not at home, you have to protect the tea master." ”
The black mastiff raised his head to the sky and screamed, swallowing the mountains and rivers in anger.
When Shen Leng went out, Mr. Shen happened to be outside the door, he entered the door and explained a few words to the tea master, the two men knew how sad it was for the tea master to leave at the same time at this time, but not to mention that the holy order was difficult to disobey, just to talk about the relationship with Zhuang Yong, it was impossible for them not to go.
The two of them were just about to leave, and the chief of the inner chamberlain personally led the team to arrive, and the carriage in Concubine Zhen's palace arrived at the gate of General Shen Leng's mansion, accompanied by not only the people from the Tai Hospital, but also the internal guards of the forbidden army.
Dai Fangzhou took a few steps forward and bowed his head and said to Shen Leng: "Your Majesty asked the slave maid to tell General Shen that His Majesty will take care of the affairs of the family, and the general does not need to worry, the slave maid was ordered by Concubine Zhen to take the county lord into the palace, and Concubine Zhen Niangniang also explained, please be careful with the general." ”
Shen Leng nodded: "I will, I'm tired of acting for my father-in-law." ”
Dai Fangzhou hurriedly said: "Where did the general say this, the slave maid waited for the general to triumph." ”
Shen Leng and Mr. Shen rushed to the forbidden army camp, the pro-military camp had been assembled, and the required armament, Yuan Shu ordered to transfer it directly from the forbidden army camp, and also prepared double armor and weapons for each of the soldiers.
At noon on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the team left Chang'an City, boarded a warship at the dock, and several Fubo warships broke the waves towards the southern frontier.
East Warm Pavilion.
The old dean who heard the news hurried over, of course he knew His Majesty's feelings for Zhuang Yong, worried that His Majesty was sad, the old dean entered the palace without even eating lunch, and saw His Majesty sitting there and seemed to be in a daze, the old dean lowered his head and said: "That year in Feng Yantai, Zhuang Yong led the troops to cut off the return of the black warriors, the strength of the black warriors was dozens of times his, and in the end, there were only a few people left around him, and he did not fall down with several arrows in his body, this time he was also able to hold on, and the feather arrows of the black warriors could not kill him, not to mention the barbarian begging for a person." ”
His Majesty looked at the old dean: "This time may not be the same......"
The old dean shook his head: "No." ”
The emperor was silent for a while: "Sir, when it comes to Feng Yantai, I have always felt ashamed in my heart, he fought too hard, too tired and too hard in that battle, and watched his brothers die on the battlefield one by one, but at that time, I couldn't take care of him completely, and my military merits could only be given to Pei Xiao." ”
The old dean was about to speak, but His Majesty shook his head to stop him.
"Don't tell Zhuang Yong's wife and Ruorong about this matter first."
"I understand."
The emperor looked out the window: "I only hope that Shen Leng can catch up." ”
The naval division Fubo warship moved forward at full speed, changing people along the way without stopping, and rushed to the south day and night.
On the Grand Canal, he met the fleet of the patrol division going north, and Wang Gendong, the deputy commander of the patrol division, also got the news halfway, and he didn't dare to delay the affairs of the northern frontier.
Shen Leng became the flagship of the Sea Patrol Division, and now he also has a super warship, Shenwei.
"General Wang, you continue to lead the fleet to deliver supplies to the northern Xinjiang, I will take 8,000 soldiers from the team, take away a group of warships, the speed of the Fubo ship is slower, I have to exchange 10,000 jun."
Wang Gendong hurriedly lowered his head: "The general's order is." ”
Shen Leng snorted, and after a moment of silence, he said, "After arriving in Northern Xinjiang, find a way to inquire about Meng Changan's news." ”
"Yes."
After Shen Leng finished explaining, he mobilized 8,000 soldiers, all of whom were transferred to the big ship Wan Jun and hurried south again.
However, such a long road, not immediately able to think of it, from Chang'an to southern Xinjiang even if the warship day and night will take two months, under normal circumstances to walk longer, and then cross the sea to seek stand, it is impossible to see Zhuang Yong without three months.
Shen Leng was just afraid, afraid that he wouldn't be able to see Zhuang Yong.
At the same time, Qiu Li, Daning Soldier Battalion.
Zhuang Yongping, whose face was pale, was lying on the bed, looking like there was still any blood, and he lost too much blood after the serious injury, although it had stopped, but he himself understood that the serious injury was not so bad, unless it was God's favor, otherwise this time it was really bad luck.
It has been three or four months since he was seriously injured, and his injuries have not improved, and he knows that his time is numbered.
The iron feather arrow is much larger than the ordinary feather arrow, and it can penetrate his iron armor from thirty zhang away, and even pass through his body, which shows how strong the arm strength of the person who fired the arrow is, and before this, this person has never made a move, obviously he has been enduring it, and he has been waiting for the moment when Zhuang Yong appears on the battlefield.
Seeking to destroy the country immediately, even if an arrow killed Zhuang Yong, it can't stop Qiu Li from being destroyed, but Qiu Li people are naturally unwilling, once their sailors can run rampant on the sea, unscrupulously invade and harass Daning's sea frontier, and now Daning has surrounded their capital, how can they easily accept this huge gap.
Killing Zhuang Yong can't stop the destruction of the country, it may make them vent their hatred.
"It's careless."
Zhuang Yong looked at the roof: "I've never been in a hurry, I don't know what's wrong this time, I always think about how good it would be if the news of the breakthrough of the capital city was sent to His Majesty before the year, it would be fair to any side on the battlefield, this time I made a mistake, so it was me who was punished." ”
Haisha stood beside Zhuang Yong: "Lord Governor, you have a good rest and don't talk much." ”
"I still have to say it."
Zhuang Yongqiang endured the severe pain and smiled, trying to make himself look relaxed.
"If you can't get over this time, wouldn't it be a loss to say a few more words? Haisha, I have something you can help me with. ”
"Your Excellency, just command."
"Daning is extinguished, I'm not worried, even if I die, it's a foregone conclusion, I have been fighting for half my life, and the most indebted is my family, after I die, I bother you to send my ashes back to my home in Chang'an City."
"My lord, you will be fine, so many times you have been killed in the sea of corpses and blood, this time you will also survive safely."
"I know my own situation."
Zhuang Yong smiled again: "If it is in Chang'an, my injury may still be treated, the weather here is bad, the heat is unbearable, the wound is not easy to heal, and there is no good enough doctor...... You listen to me finish speaking, after I die, the news arrives in Chang'an, Your Majesty will inevitably be angry and will issue an order to slaughter and beg for Li, you don't obey the order, the future battle against the black army, Qiu Li is the granary of the Northern Expedition of Daning, if you are too ruthless to the people of Qiu Li, it will inevitably cause some chaos, and if you want to establish the army, you will be destroyed, and you should be appeased and appeased by the people. ”
Zhuang Yong breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty's heart is to break the black martial arts, the place where you want to stand is not important, but now it has become important, you and I are ministers, we should share the worries for Your Majesty, Your Majesty is angry and ambushes the corpse for thousands of miles, but that is not beneficial to the war in northern Xinjiang, the climate is warm in the three places of seeking to stand, the country is poor, and the climate in the south is warm, and the rice can be harvested twice a year in some places and even three crops. ”
Haisha bowed his head: "What the lord ordered, the subordinates have all remembered." ”
Zhuang Yong snorted: "If Your Majesty knows, you may be blamed and scolded for you, but you should believe that Your Majesty will not really be difficult for you, because Your Majesty is the most holy monarch since the founding of Daning...... You go and get a pen and paper, I can't sit up, just lie here, you help me get the paper, I want to write another note for Your Majesty, make it clear as it is, and I won't let Your Majesty be angry with you. ”
Haisha's eyes were full of tears: "It's not too late for the Governor to write tomorrow, it's time to rest today." ”
Zhuang Yong shook his head: "I've lasted long enough, maybe I don't know what to do tomorrow, I'm in good spirits today, I'll do more...... After I have finished writing the recital, you can ask the whole army to go to all the surrounding places to look for white cloth, and the people will think that I am dead, and then you will lead the army back fifty miles......"
Zhuang Yong rested for a while, and there was no blood on his chapped lips.
"The Qiu Liren will inevitably make a move, they know that the capital can't be defended, and they will inevitably rush out tentatively to protect Ruan Tengyuan and fight his way out of the encirclement, and it can be decided in a battle at this time."
Haisha raised his hand and wiped his tears: "My lord, don't talk anymore." ”
At this moment, a personal soldier hurriedly ran in: "General, there are people outside who want to see you." ”
