Chapter 60: Zhang Xuan's Great Gift

Longwu is a pragmatic person. He didn't have the heart to dwell on the details.

"The foreign minister is here to celebrate the great victory of His Royal Highness the King of Tang." Hu Tang's gaze swept over everyone one by one, and he glanced at the generals of the Dian army a few more times, and finally stopped at Ma Shiying, with a smile on his face, and said, "The foreign minister also brought a gift." ”

"Oh." Longwu said: "What gift? ”

Hu Tang said: "It's just outside the hall, and I ask His Highness to let people send it in." ”

Long Wu nodded slightly, and immediately a little eunuch brought things over.

It is a wooden box.

When Long Wu saw this wooden box, he had an ominous premonition. Because of the size of this wooden box, it seems to hold just a human head, but now, how could Long Wu not open it, and said, "Open it." ”

Sure enough, as Long Wu expected, after the wooden box was opened, a smell of lime mixed with the smell of blood fused together and became an indescribable taste. It was extremely pungent, but Long Wu didn't bother to pay attention to the smell, he looked at the head in front of him, and couldn't recognize who this person was for a while.

Lime is a primitive preservative. The human head was pickled like a pickled egg. Although it can be preserved for a long time, the appearance of the characters will inevitably change somewhat. Longwu couldn't recognize it for a while, and there were some, but there was one person who could recognize it, and that was Ma Shiying.

Ma Shiying's feet were weak, and he almost fell to the ground, and said, "My son ----"

Father and son nature, although he was very sad, he still kept calm, let the tears flow, and did not cry out.

Longwu heard Ma Shiying shout like this, and when he looked again, he couldn't recognize it, it was Ma Luan.

Longwu didn't have much contact with Ma Luan, but he also knew that now the Yueyang Army and Li Guo's department were together, and Ma Luan's head was here, so Li Guo? So the Camp of Loyalty? So the party is conservative? For a while, Long Wu also felt that his eyes were dark, but no matter how flustered he was in his heart, there was no change at all in his appearance, and it seemed that what he saw was not Ma Luan's head. It's a stone.

Ma Luan's head was confirmed, and everyone talked about it for a while. Even Long Wu didn't seem to be able to suppress these voices, after all, what Ma Luan's head represented, anyone with a discerning eye knew. The panic in their hearts burst out in an instant.

"General of the Great Xia Expedition to the South, Governor of the Military Affairs of the Seven Provinces, Zheng Guogong and Zhang Gong." Hu Tang said: "Just let me tell you that on the day you defeated General Xu Du, Zheng Guogong also defeated your troops more than a hundred miles to the north, among which General Dang was killed in battle, Li Guo fled, and Ma Luan and Master Ma were loyal and unyielding----"

Longwu's heart was a mess.

He really wanted to say that the other party was just empty

Zhang was promising, but he didn't see the slightest hint of bravado. Even he already believed Hu Tang's words in his heart.

At this moment, he was thinking little by little about the impact of this battle.

Long Wu was very happy that Changsha City defeated Xu Du in the next battle, but the reason for his happiness was not only this victory, but because he saw the opportunity to turn his strategy. In his intelligence, when Zhang Xuan's troops marched south, there were only about forty or fifty thousand people.

And defeating He Tengjiao's department should have some damage.

So when there were about 30,000 people under Xu Du's command, Longwu naturally regarded them as Zhang Xuan's main force.

Zhang Xuan's main force was defeated, and reinforcements from all over the country came, in Longwu, no matter what, Zhang Xuan couldn't stay under Changsha City, that is to say, Zhang Xuan's southern expedition was finally survived.

But he never thought that one of the main forces under his command, Li Guo's nearly 100,000 army, would be wiped out like this. The impact is more than just a broken arm.

"Your Majesty doesn't want to know, how did the Great General win this battle?" Hu said.

Long Wu's heart sank, and he didn't think about anything else, but said: "If Zhang Xuan only asked you to talk about this, you don't need to say it, I don't need to know how he won." I only need to know one thing, the ancestors and the ancestors are above, and I am only the king of martyrdom. ”

Hu Tang said: "The foreign minister admires Your Majesty. It's just that the minister not only came on behalf of Zheng Guogong, but also on behalf of General Gao? ”

"General Gao?" Long Wu's heart suddenly suddenly, and he suddenly remembered Gao Yigong.

"Yes, it's General Gao Yigong." Hu Tang said: "General Gao Yigong, grateful for Your Majesty's kindness, but this is the case, non-human can be recovered, General Gao was originally a heavy general of my righteous army, and the enmity with you is as deep as the sea, General Gao Yigong's uncle, is the king of Gao Yingxiang, Ling Chi was executed outside the nine gates, this grudge he has never forgotten." At first, I had to vote. And I am magnanimous to Your Majesty, posthumously crowned King Gao Chuang, the King of Qin, and ordered General Gao to attack the lord. General Gao's aunt was in Wuchang, and she also personally went to General Gao's army to persuade her. ”

"General Gao said that he was ashamed of His Majesty. The sword can only be returned. Hu Tang said: "The Protector Sword is just outside the main hall. ”

For a while, Longwu didn't know if he was nodding or not, but after a while, a long sword came up, and it looked like the original sword.

Hu Tang secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Secretly said: "This discord is calculated. ”

Yes, this time it was a discordant plan, and it was plotted by Hu Tang, so he personally carried it out.

Now Gao Yigong is Zhang Xuan's main threat. If it is a head-on battle, not to mention whether it can be won or not, Zhang Xuan's troops alone may not be able to call it up.

But the biggest problem with Gao Yigong is that he is with

The Ming army is out of place, Gao Yigong has the heart of self-reliance, he may not have the ambition to be the emperor, but he definitely has the intention of separating one side. Many people know this point, not to mention the grievances and grievances between the Gao family and the Zhu family.

When Longwu accepted Gao Yigong's surrender, how many people objected, and now they have many suspicions about Gao Yigong.

Even Emperor Longwu himself may not have the heart to firmly believe that Gao Yigong is loyal to him.

Taking a step back, Longwu himself believed that Gao Yigong was loyal to him, but it was useless. Longwu did not fully represent the Changsha regime, and there were too many suspicions in the Changsha regime. Discord cannot be just a discord between Longwu and Longwu. Naturally, I will understand the side of Gao Yigong.

However, Gao Yigong's side is not responsible for Hu Tang.

Long Wu opened the long sword and looked at it, suddenly sneered, fell to the ground, and said: "What can a fake sword say, thinking that I am a dumb king?" ”

Hu Tang said disappreciatively: "Your Majesty thinks it's fake, so take it as a fake." ”

In fact, this sword is indeed fake, and it was a long sword from Dang Shousu's hand, and it was built one by one, but the name of this sword is different. Hu Tang continued: "There is one more thing for the foreign minister to come here, that is, Zheng Guogong has heard for a long time that His Majesty is the master of the Ming Dynasty. The famous ministers and generals under his command gathered, and they were interested in hunting under the city of Changsha, but they didn't know that their Majesty could be interested? ”

Long Wu sneered and said, "Do you think I have won your method of agitation? ”

Hu Tang said: "Since Your Majesty has no intention of this, the foreign minister will retire. It's just that His Majesty's reputation is actually difficult to deserve. ”

"Bold." Zhao Yinxuan said angrily: "What kind of place do you think this is, you can come and leave if you want?" ”

Zhao Yinxuan has just received the courtesy of Longwu, at this time he only feels that his heart is still hot, for many situations, he has just arrived in Changsha, he is not very clear, who Ma Luan is, what about Gao Yigong, he does not have too many concepts about these things.

It's just that I can't get used to Hu Tang's appearance. was furious for a while, and he wanted to kill Hu Tang.

Hu Tang listened to this and said secretly: "It's here." ”

His worst fear came, his mission was completed, but whether he could return alive or not was another matter. However, although he was nervous, he dared to come here, and it was also after full thought and calculation.

He didn't come here just by courage.

"Your Majesty, the two armies will not fight each other. Please also think twice, Your Majesty. A civil servant said.

For a while, many civil officials said that although they were very unaccustomed to Hu Tang's arrogant appearance, they were unwilling to let Longwu break the rules, so they admonished one after another.

Hu Tang sneered in his heart and said secretly: "Sure enough, it is not what I expected." ”
