Chapter 51: The Attack
In the next few days, he went to the court step by step, reported to the barracks every day, took the soldiers to do some simple training, and other than that, he tried to minimize his presence.
The emperor didn't know what to think, so he handed over these things to him as if he was testing him, and on the one hand, he sent people to monitor his every move and report to the emperor every day, and on the other hand, he pretended to favor him very much, and gave him a lot of power. The people outside looked at the emperor's behavior and felt strange, but they didn't get accurate instructions, so they could only watch from the sidelines, and they didn't dare to act rashly.
It's just that these eunuchs only dare to muttered in their hearts, how can they figure out the emperor's affairs, and his every move must have a business, maybe he is testing General Qi.
Originally, the previous affairs in the court made many ministers feel that Qi Zhao was not worth wooing, but after such a long period of observation, the emperor seems to really attach importance to Qi Zhao.
In an instant, this mind was a little shaken, only Lu Zhicheng, who still looked at him every day, couldn't get used to him, and didn't even bother to disguise his face.
But this calm did not last long before it was broken.
The problem is not with Emperor Qi Zhao or Lu Zhicheng, but with the border.
The atmosphere in the court was depressing, and the ministers didn't dare to speak, and tried hard to clamp their tails, for fear that the emperor would be unhappy, so they would find something for them.
Since receiving the urgent battle report just now, the emperor's face has been wrong, but he himself didn't say it, and they were also a little drumming in their hearts for a while, not knowing what was going on.
"The little Turks dare to attack one after another, is it really that there is no one in my Yan Kingdom?" Finally, the emperor was furious and slapped his heart directly on the table.
The ministers were all frightened, for fear that the emperor would suddenly call out their names and look at them unpleasantly.
Hearing the news of the Turkic attack, Qi Zhao immediately stepped out: "The emperor Turks don't take our Yan Kingdom in their eyes at all, this time we must give them some color to see, and we must not compromise!" ”
His words spoke to the hearts of many people, one after another, is it true that there is no one in our country?
"The last general is not talented, I am willing to share the worries and solve problems for the emperor, and ask the emperor to give the last general a chance to serve the country.
The ministers also felt that he was the most suitable person to say this, after all, he had just won a battle, and he knew the form and soldiers on the battlefield very well, so it was perfect for him to fight at this time.
The emperor heard him say this, although he said that in line with his thoughts, the Turks would definitely fight with them to the end, but Qi Zhao had just returned from victory, and he didn't want him to fight again.
Seeing that the emperor did not speak, with a serious expression, everyone speculated about the emperor's psychology.
Qi Zhao has also been waiting for the emperor to speak, but he is different from other ministers, as long as he shows his desire to be loyal to the country at this time, the emperor will definitely not send him to war.
"Qi Aiqing, please, the war was urgent before, and it was a last resort to let you go to war, you are newly married Yan'er, but you haven't accompanied your new wife at home, you just came back not long ago, and then let you out of the station at this time, it is indeed a little unreasonable."
After speaking, the emperor glanced at the ministers below, focusing on those generals, and finally stopped at Lu Zhicheng.
"Lu Aiqing has always done her best for the country, and her attainments in the art of war are also good. Let Lu Aiqing go to this station, don't live up to my expectations of you, and be sure to fight for our Yan Kingdom! ”
Although Lu Zhicheng and Qi Zhao have some special relationship, it is no secret that the two of them do not agree in the court, and now the emperor does not send Qi Zhao to fight, but chooses Lu Zhicheng, and these officials are also speculating about the emperor's intentions in their hearts.
These two people are not in harmony, and they are both military generals in the court, but they can check and balance each other, Lu Yunshu fell out with his family because of his relationship with Qi Zhao, and it is impossible to reconcile with Lu Zhicheng, an old stubborn man, for a while and a half, if the emperor wants to find someone to suppress Qi Zhao at this time, then Lu Zhicheng is indeed a good candidate.
"The minister must set off immediately, and let the Turks see how the soldiers of my Great Yan Kingdom killed them without leaving a single piece of armor!" After Lu Zhicheng received the order, he decided to go to Biansai, which has also been an urgent battle situation recently, and he doesn't know what the situation is on the battlefield if he arrives a day later, and he can deal with it earlier if he arrives earlier.
This matter was decided for the time being, Lu Zhicheng went to Biansai overnight, and after Qi Zhao went back, he told Lu Yunshu the news, and sure enough, even if Lu Yunshu fell out with her family, she was still worried about her family.
After comforting Lu Yunshu and telling her not to worry, she asked Lu Yunshu to go back to the room to rest, while Qi Zhao went to the study to deal with some things.
After Lu Zhicheng rushed to the battlefield, he summoned several commanders and held an emergency meeting, asking them to briefly introduce themselves to the situation on the battlefield and formulate a strategic plan for the next step.
The soldier was in an emergency, and he didn't have time to write a letter to his family to report his safety, and the capital had been paying attention to the situation on the battlefield, but unfortunately no news came back.
Although the emperor did not say it explicitly, it could be seen that because there was no news from the league, he was very unhappy, and his face was not as good as day by day when he went to court.
Just when the ministers thought that the emperor might not be able to help but be angry, a report suddenly came from outside the palace, and after many days, Lu Zhicheng finally sent a letter to the capital about the war situation.
"Quick, bring people in, hurry up and present the letter!" As soon as he heard the letter from Biansai, the emperor immediately couldn't sit still, for so long, he didn't know what the situation was in Biansai, and even the ministers were very anxious.
The emperor, who was still unswerving, gradually smiled after reading the letter, and it only took a moment to retract.
"Good news from the border fortress, Lu Aiqing led the army like a bamboo, and has defeated the Turkic troops, and now there are only some remnants left!" After finishing speaking, the emperor said a little sadly: "It's just a pity that I don't know what's going on, the news of Biansai was secretly leaked, and Lu Aiqing was a little injured and was on her way back." ”
The news of Biansai has never reached the capital, so if there is a ghost, it must be in the army, and it seems that this matter must be investigated carefully.
The farce of the Hui Dynasty has come to an end, and the Yan Kingdom, which originally maintained peace and tranquility, has now become turbulent.
