Chapter 237: Imperial Discussion
He Nuo's desk had two different military newspapers, and after he read them, he had mixed feelings, half of them were good news, but the other half of the news made his mind come up, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
Because he clearly saw that Meng Xiaochen, the person he trusted the most, one of the most critical people who knew the secrets of this western expedition, was injured.
But after He Nuo studied it carefully, he suddenly found some clues, because two military reports also came from Meng Xiaochen's military camp, one was a secret report, which wrote the news that Meng Xiaochen's army had captured Beiyouguan, and the other elaborated on the news that Meng Xiaochen was seriously injured, which made He Nuo a little incredible, he didn't understand why such an important thing came in the form of a clear report, was this intentional, or Meng Xiaochen's negligence?
Of course, He Nuo understands that it is impossible for a brother like Meng Xiaochen to commit such negligence, so it seems that there is only one possibility, what information does Meng Xiaochen want to convey in this way.
He Nuo closed his eyes and pondered, and suddenly, a spiritual light flashed in his mind, and then, he quickly followed this inspiration and pondered deeply, and in the end, he finally figured out the meaning of Meng Xiaochen's doing.
He immediately summoned his own soldiers beside him and said: "Pass on my military order and tell the whole army that General Meng Xiaochen, the pioneer of the expedition to the west, cannot continue to be in charge of the military order due to heavy troops, so General Zhao Junmao will be appointed as the vanguard of the expedition to the west, and set off quickly, there must be no mistake!" ”
Hearing such an order, the pro-soldier was also stunned, but fortunately, he had followed He Nuo for many years and knew what to ask and what not to ask, but he was silently touched by Meng Xiaochen in his heart, and then quickly turned around and passed it to the military order.
Zhao Junmao's original pioneer position was held by Meng Xiaochen, but fortunately, Meng Xiaochen had a very high prestige in the army, and Meng Xiaochen took his place.
His vanguard battalion now has 60,000 people, all of whom are the most elite people in He Nuo's army, Meng Xiaochen did not bring a single person from his vanguard battalion this time, which made Zhao Junmao a little surprised, but fortunately, a battlefield martial artist like him will not carefully ponder such a trick, in his opinion, he only needs to do two things, one is to get off the horse and work hard to manage the army, and the other is to get on the horse and fight to kill the enemy.
Leave the rest to the counselors.
Therefore, when Meng Xiaochen's army set out, Zhao Junmao was still working hard to train in the school field.
"Herald! Go ahead and double the intensity! Zhao Junmao saw that several soldiers were a little listless, and immediately issued such an order!
And what made Zhao Junmao feel a little eager to try was that there were six old scalper cannons behind him.
Gunpowder, with the conquest of various forces, has been quickly valued by all forces, but Zhao Junmao is still the first person to develop a successful gunpowder weapon.
He deliberately increased the training of artillery, and through improvement, he could allow his horse to drag the cannon on a rapid march, which greatly increased the mobility of the artillery.
Zhao Junmao once asked Meng Xiaochen to see such an artillery before Meng Xiaochen left the army, but he didn't expect Meng Xiaochen to be surprised after seeing it, his eyes lit up, and then he fell into deep thought.
But Meng Xiaochen sent troops this time, but he didn't bring these few six old scalper cannons.
Therefore, when Zhao Junmao finally received the military order from He Nuo, which stated that Meng Xiaochen was seriously injured and that he was the vanguard, he was very surprised, and he didn't understand why the commander was seriously injured and why the whole army knew about it.
However, there is also a secret decree that He Nuo specially gave himself, and when Zhao Junmao saw it, first a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he laughed wildly.
A fast horse with a command galloped towards Jinyang City, bringing the emergency military situation on the front line, and rushed directly into the palace.
Emperor He Muhan obviously felt that his body was getting worse day by day, but it was inconvenient for him to hand over such an urgent military situation to others, and he would look at it by himself every time.
At this moment, his bedside is also surrounded by the meritorious ministers of the Jinyang Dynasty, but those people are already old, coughing and wheezing from time to time, which seems to indicate that this dynasty has also entered its twilight years.
Although he was prepared, after seeing such news, He Muhan was still a little shocked, and he said in a low voice: "After breaking through the Beiyou Pass, Zhao Junmao of He Nuojun actually led a large army and rushed directly to Jinyang City!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and they still held the position of the left minister of the imperial court, and Wei Zhengxun, the older and older left minister, asked: "How many people are there?" ”
He Muhan calmed down, and then said: "The preliminary estimate is that there are no less than 200,000 troops. ”
There was silence, and the whole audience was shocked.
They don't understand why the once inconspicuous Jinyang boy can be such a powerful army in a short period of time.
And what is terrifying is that they are now suffering from internal and external troubles, and the peasant uprising in the north has made Ning Xianghou, the most powerful general in the Jinyang Dynasty, fall into the quagmire of the peasant uprising in the north and cannot extricate himself, so He Nuo's attack caught people off guard.
He Muhan asked the new military department Shangshu Lu Duchu, the former commander of the Thirteenth Beacon Fort, "How many troops are there in Jinyang City now?" ”
Lu Yuchu was conscientious and conscientious, and he knew these numbers well, and replied calmly: "Now in Jinyang City, the three major battalions plus the newly trained forbidden army have a total of more than 100,000 people. ”
He Muhan took a deep breath and said, "The enemy is twice as many as ours, which general is willing to lead troops to the battle?" ”
No one in the hall spoke.
He Muhan looked up at the top of the house, where were the portraits of the monarchs of the Jinyang Dynasty and the meritorious military ministers, and he still asked:
"There are twice as many enemies as ours, and what general is willing to lead his troops into battle?"
"There are twice as many enemies as ours, and what general is willing to lead his troops into battle?"
"There are twice as many enemies as ours, and what general is willing to lead his troops into battle?"
He Muhan's old voice echoed in the hall, but no one answered, and the empty echo seemed to be a mockery, and it was also the last echo of the martyr's twilight years.
A murky old tear flowed out of He Muhan's eyes, and he sighed and said: "There are no unscrupulous generals in the country, there are strong enemies outside, and the society is in danger." It seems that only the Marquis of Zhaoning will come back, but who can suppress the peasant uprising in the north, otherwise, we can only move the capital. ”
At this moment, Wei Zhengxun, the left minister of the imperial court, spoke, and he seemed to have made a lot of determination to say this, with a tremor in his voice: "Your Majesty, Jinyang City is the location of He Zongmiao, the foundation of our Jinyang Dynasty, and the capital must not be moved, how can there be a reason that the Jinyang Dynasty does not have Jinyang City?" Now that the Marquis of Ningxiang is shouldering a heavy responsibility in the north, if he rashly draws out the generals to come back, the situation in the north will collapse, and we will be attacked in the north and south, and we will fall into a situation from which we will never recover. Therefore, the old minister has a plan, and he doesn't know whether to talk about it or not. ”
When He Muhan heard this, he immediately said, "Zuo Xiang, please speak!" If you can retreat from the enemy this time, I will give you the title of king! ”
Such a high-ranking official is generous, so that Wei Zhengxun is also excited, who doesn't want to be crowned king in the twilight of his life, and then continue to future generations, and his descendants will enjoy it?
Finally no longer hesitated, but Wei Zhengxun asked a question directly: "Your Majesty has heard of Van Luo, right?" At an extraordinary time, when the extraordinary method is used, now it seems that only with the help of the power of Van Luo can we save Jinyang. ”
