Chapter 90: The Wonderful City of Chengdu (1)
Although the Celestial Star Empire was extremely concerned about the news of Liangzhou, compared to Yuwen Po, they did not have a well-informed source. Because of this, the news that Murong Invincible, the patriarch of the Xianbei Murong clan, led 30,000 iron horsemen out of Longxi and killed Guzang was a few days later than the news that Murong Ke was captured alive.
This news was like a bolt from the blue to Bai Wuye. As soon as he got the news, Bai Wuye immediately flew a pigeon to pass the word to Chengdu, and once again asked for troops to be sent to Liangzhou. But Ling Tianmu still gave him four words this time: Don't be impatient.
Even Ling Luocang, the king of Chengyang, who had always been in charge of Nanzheng, had always been with him and did not interfere with the river water, also wrote to reprimand him, saying that he disregarded the overall situation and rashly asked for troops three times and twice, completely inconsiderate of Ling Tianmu's painstaking efforts.
Bai Wuye didn't say anything when he saw Ling Tianmu and Luo Cang's letters. Because he was already desperate, completely desperate for the Returned Army. Even if the Guiyi Army joined forces with the Yi Army and captured Murong Ke alive, Bai Wuye could also think that its casualties would definitely be very heavy. Before they got any respite, they had to face the encirclement and suppression of Murong's invincible 30,000 iron cavalry, and the chances of survival of the Guiyi army were very small, and their destruction was just around the corner.
With the news of Murong Invincible's troops, the ministers of the DPRK and China became even more excited. Look, look, the retribution for catching Murong Ke is coming, Murong Invincible actually led the army to recruit in person. At this point, the Guiyi Army is definitely finished.
Ling Tianmu, like the ministers, was also very pleased with this news. But in the midst of joy, he still has sighs and dissatisfaction.
In the imperial study, looking at the two copies of Bai Wuye's report and the letter of invitation to fight, Ling Tianmu couldn't help but sigh a little at the impermanence of the world.
He knew very well in his heart that Zhao Wutang was loyal to the Celestial Star Empire, but his loyalty was not to him, but to his dead eldest brother.
Originally, after pacifying the southwest, he was going to want to transfer Zhao Wutang to a remote place, so that he could enjoy his old age in peace! But who knows, a Rocky ran out and asked him to send Zhao Wutang to recover Liangzhou.
How ridiculous it is to recover Liangzhou, Xianbei Hu has 140,000 troops in Liangzhou, and 30,000 troops have been arranged in Wudu alone. The 4,000 people under the command of Zhao Wutang returned to the righteous army, isn't it equivalent to sheep falling into the mouth of the tiger and letting them die in vain!
Everyone knows that Rocky's sentence "the rebels are rising" is a joke, and the rebels are also operating in the Wuwei area. Except for the Jianghu ranger who didn't know whether he was alive or dead as mentioned in the earlier news and dared to organize a rebel rebellion, which of the other people was not under the deterrence of Xianbei Hu's powerful military power, and obediently became obedient people.
But who knows, when the ministers knew this fact, they actually echoed Rocky one after another, forcing Zhao Wutang to accept this order. He himself agreed, so what else is there to say. It was his own choice, not his own force.
Even if he captured Murong Ke alive and repelled several Xianbei Hu's attacks. So what, there are still so many armies in Liangzhou, just with the Guiyi army and a few rebels, what kind of climate can be achieved. In the end, it is not the same that you can't escape the fate of being destroyed.
It's a pity that the kid who has been in the army for a long time can't even see through this, the situation in Hanzhong is already very delicate, and the defense force alone is already clumsy, and he still wants to respond to the righteous army. It's a bit too bad to know how thick the sky is.
Also, Zhang Xiong's puppet actually humiliated him, and dared to say that the Celestial Star Empire would die in a short time. It's really unreasonable, if you don't marry, you won't marry, and as for the humiliation of the big Honglu sent by him.
I thought that the orcs of the Heavenly Trench would not dare to fight you, look at it, when the time comes, it will definitely hit you Yucang Federation first, and you Danyang Kingdom will still be able to escape.
At this time, in Ling Luotian's Prince's Mansion, Ling Luotian and Prime Minister Bai Hua were also talking.
"Teacher, Wuye has come to ask his father to send troops again this time!"
"yes!" Bai Hua stroked his long flowing beard, not caring at all.
"Teacher, you should write a letter to persuade Nevernight. I know that although Wuye seems to be breezy on the surface, he is actually a person with a temperament, and the destruction of the Guiyi Army is a foregone conclusion, so he shouldn't be so incomprehensible. ”
"Rest assured, there is no night to measure. Besides, that's not a bad thing! ”
"What do you mean by that?" Ling Luotian was puzzled by Bai Hua's attitude, not only was he not worried, but he also said that it was a good thing.
"Since ancient times, the general has commanded the army, and he is bound to receive the suspicion of the king, and this move without night will make His Majesty unhappy, but it will make His Majesty very relieved. Don't make your own decisions in case of trouble, please play everything, and let His Majesty feel that everything is under his control, isn't it hateful! ”
"I see, it turns out that there is such a truth in this, and Luotian has learned a lot of things, thank you for the teacher's advice."
"It's Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't you have a good relationship with Mo Feng, why don't you feel half sad?"
"Teacher, Luotian is naturally unhappy in his heart. However, this personal relationship cannot be mistaken for a big thing. As the crown prince, Luotian naturally has to put state affairs first, how can he abolish private affairs for public reasons. Besides, Mo Feng also hopes that we will inherit the throne and revive my Celestial Star Empire. If I languished for something I was already destined for, I would have failed his expectations. ”
Bai Hua nodded with satisfaction, he was quite pleased with this prince's apprentice: "It would be best if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could think like this." My Celestial Star Empire can be regarded as a successor. ”
As he spoke, Bai Hua suddenly changed his words, "However, it's time for the crown prince to find a suitable princess for himself." Zhang Yan's matter, the old minister hopes that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not take it too seriously. ”
"The sky knows how important it is. After all, my eldest brother and I didn't please him, so we should have a draw. As for the matter of the crown princess, I will consider it as soon as possible. ”
"The prince is so thoughtful, and the old minister has nothing to worry about. After all, when my Celestial Star Empire was founded, it was too heavy, the royal heirs were not prosperous, and the princes and princesses did not exceed four at most. Your Majesty has several concubines, and only the two of you brothers and the princess who has long since died. The prince can think like this, which is also the blessing of the imperial society! ”
"Teacher, Luotian knows, Luotian will work hard!" Ling Luotian blushed a little, even if he was romantic, but in broad daylight his teacher openly told him to have more children, which really made him a little embarrassed. However, soon, Ling Luotian changed the topic, "Luotian will not forget what he said, and Luo Qingyao will not be delusional when Luotian falls." ”
"It's okay!" Saying this, Bai Hua didn't think so in his heart. As a prince, of course, you have to lead by example, and what you say counts. Besides, this Luo Qingyao is his daughter-in-law, and it is the door of his Bai family that he wants to enter. Even if it's your own students, you can't let it. Otherwise, what should I do without a night, what should the Bai family do. He is such a son as Bai Wuye, and he still expects him to inherit the incense for the Bai family!
Walking out of the gate of the Prince's Mansion, Bai Hua looked coldly in the direction of the Huibin Building, now, I am afraid that the old turtle of Rocky and his daughter will be drinking and enjoying the bamboo in the Huibin Building again! Yes, he really wanted Luo Qingyao to marry, but he had a deep fear of Luo Qi in his heart. Ever since they had served Ling Tianmu together, he had clearly realized that Rocky was very good at forbearance. Although it is said that the best thing he can do is to make peace with the mud, but it is not so easy to get along with the mud, without a grasp of the overall situation, how can he reconcile the mud.
Moreover, he still remembers what Luo Qi said that day, and he can see through the meaning behind inviting Ling Tianmu to make Zhao Wutang the general of Pingxi, such a person can be an ordinary person!
How could such a person be angry with Zhao Wutang because of his daughter, he couldn't figure this out. But later Rocky's performance told him that he wanted Zhao Wutang to go to Liangzhou sincerely, and he hated Mo Feng sincerely, which made him miserable. Could it really be that just because Mo Feng molested his daughter, he sent the Guiyi Army to a dead end!
