Chapter Eighty-Seven: A Big Lie
In the past few days, the haze of the siege has dissipated, and there is a sense of arrogance, and the officers and soldiers have cleaned up the battlefield with great speed, mending the undead Tartars, and harvesting a large number of weapons and fleeing war horses.
By the time the celebration banquet on Zhao Rui's side had just ended, the counted battle report had already been delivered to Mu Zhifu.
"So much!"
Mu Zhifu sat next to Zhao Rui, he gasped, his drooping eyelids were raised, and he couldn't stop trembling with his hands holding the battle report.
"Quick, quick! Spread the good news to the court first! 100,000 urgent! ”
The battlefield was changing rapidly, and the officials first reported the battle report to the imperial court, and then began to write some flowery articles.
Riding the smoke and dust, he went straight to Lin'an from the south gate of Chuzhou.
Yan Shu fled to Lin'an in a gloomy manner, but walked some small roads and narrow alleys, and first went to the school field of the musket army.
Now there are only about 20 people left in the team of 2,500 people, and Yan Shu also sighed for a long time, full of helplessness.
When I first set out on the expedition, all parties said goodbye, what a magnificence, but now it is almost completely wiped out.
"My lord, after a long journey, you can rest first, don't get tired." One of the musketeers bowed and said.
"Okay, let's all rest! Something to get up early tomorrow morning and talk about it. ”
Yan Shu only said that the people on Zhao Rui's side were more auspicious, and he was going to report to the Taishi as soon as possible, but the mental pressure in the past few days was too great, and now he fled to a secluded place, and he was really a little dizzy.
casually added a stomach, Yan Shu covered the quilt with the whole floor, and fell asleep in less than a few breaths.
Went to bed early, got up early, Yan Shu woke up in the early morning, and all kinds of thoughts came to his heart together, and he couldn't sleep anymore.
He frowned, thinking about the crucial details of tomorrow.
It was easy to get caught until dawn, Yan Shu tore the clothes on his body, and then sprayed some water on them, and lay on the ground of the school field and rolled around.
When Yan Shu stood up, he was already covered in dirt, and several soldiers were dumbfounded, but Yan Shu was not finished, and walked in front of several people, pointed to the strongest one and said, "Come, punch me." ”
"What...... No, no, subordinates don't dare! ”
This soldier still has to rely on Yan Shu to eat, although he has already guessed the purpose of Yan Shu in his heart, but he still tries his best to shirk it.
"Bastard! Hurry up! Otherwise, I'll send you to the border!" ”
Thinking of the murderous Tartar, the soldier had no choice, swallowed and spit, swung a fist, and smashed it straight into Yan Shu's face.
"Ahh
Yan Shu remembered the woman-like scream, only to feel dizzy and his cheeks were hot and painful.
"How's it going, is it swollen, is it bleeding?"
Several soldiers looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Will you fight? How do you slap your face? Come on, hit here, don't leave your hands behind! Yan Shu looked ruthless and pointed to his nose and said.
The soldier was forced to have no choice, gritted his teeth, twisted his waist and struck a long fist, hitting the face of Yan Shu.
"What the fuck ...... Oh,, you're trying to kill me! ”
Yan Shu bent over, covering his nose in pain, blood already flowing from between his fingers.
"I'm sorry, Lord Yan, it's all my fault for being too heavy, I'll wipe your ......"
"Rub your ass, you elm pimple, that's just right!"
Yan Shu endured the pain, rubbed his sleeve against his nose, and then wiped the blood on his hands indiscriminately on his clothes.
found a war horse, rode it up, and went straight to the prime minister's mansion.
"What, the Taishi went to court?"
After getting the news of Taishi's absence, Yan Shu hung his head and thought that after communicating with Taishi first, he would go to the court to report, but Taishi went to the early court today for the sake of sacrifice.
It's really not going well!
Yan Shu had no choice but to follow the rules and report the battle situation to the palace.
"Oops...... Oops......"
Approaching the palace gate, Yan Shu deliberately pretended to be miserable.
"Oh, isn't this Lord Yan, could it be that the Musketeers have suffered heavy losses? Please! The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all in the Jinluan Palace, you go and report it! ”
The leader of the guards guarding the city recognized Yan Shu, knew that the situation was dangerous, and hurriedly welcomed him in.
Jia Yidao sat on the side of the main hall, his face was not very good-looking, didn't he call me to discuss the sacrificial ceremony, why didn't the emperor come out.
It's all coming, Jia Yidao waited patiently for a while, and Zhao Yuancai yawned sleepily and went to the dragon seat.
"Hooray, hooray, hooray!"
"Alright, let's get up!"
Zhao Yuan still looked weak when he spoke.
The emperor is a puddle of mud!
Jia Yidao curled the corners of his mouth and teased: "I heard that Your Majesty has been a lot braver recently, and the number of concubines who were favored yesterday has reached more than 30 people, which is really embarrassing for the ministers!" ”
The ministers below were all embarrassed, Taishi, he was really unscrupulous, and such a humiliating thing could be said.
According to the rules of the harem of the Song Dynasty, if the palace concubine was called to sleep with the emperor at night, she would go to Hemen the next morning to thank the emperor for his favor.
Zhao Yuan couldn't hear the good words at all, and waved his hand again and again and said modestly: "Alas, no, no, no, I am mentally troubled today, and the toss yesterday is really unbearable!" Taishi is old, but don't learn from me! ”
I'll learn your ass!
Jia Yidao shook his head, and was about to talk about the sacrificial business, when suddenly the eunuch outside the hall shouted: "The orthodox system of the musket army asks to see you!" ”
Oh? Why did you come back quietly?
The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all felt that it was not very good, and even Jia Yidao changed color slightly, and nodded at Zhao Yuan.
"Xuan!"
"Xuanyan Technique Audience!"
In a moment, a man covered in mud and blood limped to the court.
The emperor and his ministers looked sideways, and when they saw him, they seemed to have experienced a fierce battle!
It is very likely that it will be a face-to-face battle, and I didn't see that Yan Shu's nose had been beaten and swollen and bleeding.
"Your Majesty, Master! The sin deserves death! ”
Yan Shu performed the episode that he had already figured out countless times in his heart, his expression was sad, his voice was full of tears, and he was already in tears when he said half a sentence.
Zhao Yuan tilted his head, thinking about who this person was, why did he cry when he went to the palace.
Jia Yidao had a calm face, knowing that things might not be good, but Yan Shu was still choked and speechless, and he suddenly became anxious.
"Okay, what's wrong, hurry up and tell me more!"
Jia Yidao's angry shouts exploded in his ears, and Yan Shu didn't dare to delay, and said with a sad expression: "Big defeat!" The Musketeers have been defeated! It's all Zhao Rui, he didn't prepare ammunition when he went to Chuzhou, but when he met the Yuan army, more than 2,000 people didn't have the strength to resist! Seeing that the situation was critical, the lower officials had no choice but to rely on the body of a literati to step forward to save the lives of more than 20 soldiers. ”
The Musketeers were defeated?
There was an uproar in the court.
Originally, the musket was extremely sharp, and it was regarded as a magic weapon to save Song by the Taishi, but I couldn't imagine that it was so vulnerable?
Zhao Yuan didn't know anything about it, tilted his head to the other side, and asked strangely, "What?" Is Chuzhou City in trouble? When was this? ”
"Back to the emperor, just seven or eight days ago." Yan Shu replied.
"Zhao Rui is dead, more than 2,000 people are dead? Did you see it with your own eyes? ”
Jia Yidao couldn't accept this blow, because he had really seen the power of the musket, thinking that if Zhao Rui led the team, he wouldn't be completely defeated!
"Yes, the lower official's sentence is true, Zhao Rui gangs up on weekdays, is arrogant and unreasonable, and doesn't take the lower official in his eyes at all, it is his reason that led to the defeat! However, the minister is also guilty! Please also ask the emperor to punish ...... Woohoo......"
finally explained the matter, and Yan Shu cried again.
It's over, according to this, Chuzhou is in danger!
Jia Yidao's heart suddenly cooled half, thinking that he might not have a long time to live in Lin'an.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, as long as they were people who paid attention to the war situation in peacetime, understood what this meant, if Chuzhou was broken, Lin'an would be in danger!
For a while, everyone had their own thoughts, and the hall was quiet.
"Hey, why don't you speak!"
Zhao Yuan tilted his body, a little like he wanted to lie down on the dragon chair, but it was too narrow, and Zhao Yuan still felt uncomfortable after changing a few positions.
"I think there are too few concubines in the harem recently, let's discuss how the draft is!"
The Tartars are all in front of him, and the emperor is still thinking about choosing a concubine.
The ministers must have done everything they could to cater to them in their usual ways, but now they are really in no mood like that.
"Newspaper~"
A long tone broke the silence in the hall.
The eunuch outside the hall shouted: "Urgent report! Eight hundred miles in Chuzhou is expedited! ”
Before the words fell, a sergeant dressed as a military general had already bowed down to the temple, his lips were chapped, and he looked like he had never stopped on the way.
"Congratulations to the Emperor! Congratulations to the Emperor! Chuzhou victory! ”
The soldier's voice is like a bell, he has been running thousands of miles, this sentence has been held in his heart, and now he can finally roar out.
"The battle report is here!"
The eunuch went down to take the battle report, and just wanted to hand it to Zhao Yuan, but Zhao Yuan waved his hand and motioned for him to give it to Master Jia on the side.
Jia Taishi opened the recital, and the soldiers in the audience had already said loudly: "Chuzhou was trapped for four days, Zhao Rui Zhao led the troops to rescue, annihilated 541 Yuan troops at the south gate, and then entered the city, above the north city gate, 55,412 enemies were annihilated, more than 40,000 weapons were captured, and more than 3,000 war horses were captured!" ”
What the?
Didn't you say that Zhao Rui was dead?
The ministers all looked at Yan Shu in unison.
Yan Shu's legs were weak, and he sat directly on the ground, his face was also frightened.
Zhao Rui actually saved Chuzhou City?
"Impossible! Impossible......"
This is the largest number of kills against the Yuan army in history!
Even Zhao Yuan, who ignored the government, felt incredible, and asked with great interest: "With such a big victory, how about our losses?" ”
The soldier was stunned and said clearly: "Not a single soldier was lost!" ”
Ooh!
It turned out to be a total victory!
Even Emperor Qin and Han Wu can't do it!
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't believe their ears anymore, and they began to talk about it.
"Great, I didn't expect the musketeer army to be so brave, our Great Song is saved!"
"Yes! God bless the Great Song! ”
"Congratulations to the emperor, it must be the blessing of the emperor's spirit in the sky!"
Some ministers have already come out to say congratulations to the emperor!
