Chapter 168: Intrigues
Seeing He Nuo like this, Ning Xianghou smiled lightly: "How can you say that you are all from my Jinyang, and you really can't deceive our own people for the people of Yan Kingdom, so below, I still have a few questions to ask you, I hope you can tell the truth." ”
He Nuo closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then slowly opened his eyes and said, "Say it..."
Ningxiang Hou said: "Although I am nominally your imperial uncle, but for so many years, I really don't care enough about you, probably because of the relationship between Emperor Sizong and the Holy Grandfather, there is a gap between our two families, but after so many years, the name has been decided, I'm afraid you won't think that the throne on the Warm Heart Hall is your family now, right?" ”
He Nuo replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The Holy Ancestor Emperor turned the tide and ended the changes of the long night, seeing his judgment and choice at so many critical moments, every time I think about it, I am full of admiration, as a junior, it is really an honor to have such a heroic predecessor." ”
Ning Xianghou clapped his hands and said, "Well said, I love to hear this!" As long as you can think like this and don't harbor different intentions, we can also ensure that your He family branch is rich and prosperous. ”
He Nuo shook his head and said: "In the world, the person who stands is only a place to stand, and the person who eats is only three meals a day, what is the point of being so rich?" We loyally submit to His Majesty today, because he is a talented and virtuous person, but if the ruler cannot be benevolent, virtuous, and filial worthy of the ancestors and ancestors, and cannot protect the country and the people, not only will we not be satisfied, but the people of the whole world will also rise up. ”
He Nuo's words were righteous and awe-inspiring, and Ning Xianghou had no way to argue, but said: "For the minister, a loyal word should be put at the forefront, so let me ask you, how many people are left in Fengyun Cavalry?" ”
He Nuo remembered Ning Xianghou's estimate just now, and knew that in such a military deployment, he couldn't hide it, not to mention that he had to ask Ning Xianghou for now, so he had to come from the truth: "There are still 8,000 people left, the key is that there is not much military food left, Jingwei Hou has ordered to cut horses to fill the military food, and the biggest advantage of Fengyun Cavalry - each soldier is equipped with two war horses, and the advantage of strong mobility is gone." Therefore, Uncle Huang must send troops, otherwise the whole army of Fengyun Cavalry will be wiped out, I am sorry for the father and elder of Yan Country, I am sorry for Your Majesty, and I am sorry for the people in the world. ”
Ning Xianghou did not respond positively, and asked again: "That Fengyun Cavalry only has 8,000 people, and it can survive in the cracks, and it has been encircled and intercepted by 160,000 troops for so long, what does it rely on?" ”
He Nuo sighed: "It may be that both sides are waiting, and Yu Yufei, the national division of South Vietnam, currently controls the most elite troops in South Vietnam, according to the current situation, he and the Ruan family brothers also want to use each other, look like each other, and be suspicious of each other, so that Fengyun can be temporarily preserved." ”
Ning Xianghou asked again: "Then according to your estimate, how long can Fengyun Ride last?" ”
He Nuo said very simply: "Ten days, considering factors such as military rations and soldiers' morale, there are only ten days, if Hou Ye does not send troops, after ten days, the Fengyun Cavalry will be wiped out, and when the government and the opposition will be shaken, how can Hou Ye explain to His Majesty." ”
Hearing He Nuo say this, the corners of Ning Xianghou's mouth lifted a smile: "You have said so much, you already treat me as your own family, then I don't have to hide some things from you, I have a secret edict from His Majesty, you listen." ”
Hearing Ning Xianghou say this, He Nuo had to kneel down and listen to the order.
"After the Hou Department of Ningxiang goes south, you must not act rashly, your department is the main force of Jinyang, you must learn to preserve your strength, and wait for the enemy to change before moving, remember to remember."
Hearing this will, He Nuo's face changed sharply and asked, "Your Majesty really said that?" ”
Ning Xianghou shouted: "Bold! Your Majesty's secret decree, who dares to falsify! ”
He Nuo Yangtian sighed and said: "Jingwei Hou is going south at the behest of His Majesty, Gaochang Hou 100,000 Northern Expedition Army, Jingwei Hou killed him so that he only had 10,000 people left, and also broke through the Guanghan Palace, the capital of Nanyue, such a great achievement, Your Majesty does not do much commendation, and now Jingwei Hou is in danger, Your Majesty instead sits idly by, such a move, is not afraid of the cold hearts of the people who are loyal to the monarch and the protector of the world?" ”
Ning Xianghou chuckled and said: "You are our own person, that's why I said this secret decree, if it is seen by others, where can Your Majesty sit idly by?" Isn't this the rescue of 80,000 troops? ”
He Nuo was speechless for a while, and asked, "Then Hou Ye really didn't save it?" ”
Ningxiang Hou was stunned for a while, He Nuo changed from the title of "Uncle Huang" at the beginning to the current "Hou Ye", he seemed to be a lot more angry, and his tone was also a little colder, and said: "The emperor's order is difficult to disobey, now my 80,000 army is the main force of Jinyang, once it is lost, then the whole Jinyang world is in danger, if you rush to send troops, it is possible to fall into the plan of South Vietnam's voice to attack the west, the Ruan brothers and Yu Yufei are not fuel-efficient lamps, the enemy has already laid out his pockets, and then send troops, it is too dangerous." ”
He Nuo was angry for a while, and said: "Hou Ye is a hero I have admired since I was a child, one of the four sons of Jinyang, how prestigious, I didn't expect to be tied up now." ”
Ning Xianghou was not so annoyed by this, and said lightly: "I once said that I and Jingweihou are in different positions, I have been in the central court of Jinyang for a long time, and I have the heavy responsibility of protecting the lord, and when I fight, the first consideration is the safety of His Majesty, so it must be safe, many battles must be more than eighty percent sure, I will make up my mind to fight, but because of this, I have lost a lot of fighters, but Jingwei Hou is different, he does not have so many concerns, many battles even if only thirty percent of the certainty, he dares to fight, In this way, there have been a lot of 'fairy battles'. But I can't fight like him, and now some people say that I cherish my feathers and my reputation, but they don't know that my heart has always been about our family. ”
He Nuo said: "What you said seems to be very correct, but it is really chilling to see that eight thousand people who are loyal to the monarch and protect the lord are trapped in the ground camp but do not save them. ”
Ning Xianghou turned his head away and didn't say anything more.
He Nuo got up and said: "If you don't save it, I don't believe that there is no one in this world who knows the situation and knows how to be grateful!" With that, he turned and left.
Ning Xianghou's voice came from behind, "Don't send it." But there is one thing, as a descendant of the He family, you still remember, the content of the secret edict cannot be told to anyone, otherwise what will happen to you, you should know. ”
He Nuo said impatiently: "Of course I know this. ”
He Nuo came out of the big tent of Ningxiang Hou, saw that the soldiers here were strong and strong, but he always stood still, thinking of the Fengyun Cavalry and Meng Xiaochen in the distance, this mission was not completed, and he was a little stunned, he wanted to go to the north and face the saint in person, but he was afraid that the time would be too late, and for a while, he was very hesitant.
Just when He Nuo was deep in thought, he was suddenly patted on the shoulder, which startled him, because he recognized that this person was the deputy commander of the 80,000-strong army of Ningxiang Marquis now, and the right attendant of the imperial court's military department - Lu Chuanlin.
