Volume 3: Chapter 95 of the Emperor's Prosperity

Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, the military situation is urgent, the minister had to disturb the emperor Xiuqing and hurriedly explained, if the emperor knew that he peeked at Zhang Guifei's **, maybe he would be beheaded in anger.

"Oh." Chen Shubao blinked, not understanding why Shi Wenqing said that the Sui army would retreat soon a few days ago, but now the military situation was suddenly urgent again, and he hurriedly pushed Zhang Lihua's body: "Concubine Ai, you get up and get dressed, and listen to how the military situation is urgent." ”

Zhang Lihua can be favored by Chen Shubao for more than ten years, not all because of her beauty, but also because she has a keen and talented and extraordinary memory.

In addition to this reason, another reason is that Zhang Lihua is the opposite of Dugu's, not jealous, Chen Shubao in addition to pampering Zhang Lihua, there are Gong Guifei, Kong Guifei, Wang, Li Er Beauty, Zhang, Xue Ershuyuan, Yuan Zhaoyi, He Jieyu, Jiang Xiurong, etc., some beauties or Zhang Lihua took the initiative to recommend to Chen Shubao, Zhang Lihua often said to Chen Shubao: "The emperor don't think that only men love to see beauties, in fact, beautiful women love to see beauties, beauties are like clouds, competing for beauty, and showing a unique red apricot, that is called interesting." ”

It is precisely because of these two advantages that no matter how many beauties Chen Shubao has in the harem, the most favored one is always Zhang Lihua, Shi Wenqing saw that the emperor still had leisure and Zhang Guifei at this time, although he was anxious, he knew that he could not offend Zhang Lihua, so he hurriedly retreated.

Zhang Lihua had actually woken up a long time ago, but she was naked. found that the quilt was suddenly lifted by the emperor, and there were other men in the room, so he had to pretend to be asleep, Shi Wenqing retreated, Zhang Lihua sighed, opened her eyes and scolded: "Your Majesty, how can you casually lift the quilt on the concubine's body." ”

Seeing Zhang Lihua's coquettish appearance, Chen Shubao couldn't help but touch her up and down again. said vaguely: "Concubine Ai, don't worry." Shi Aiqing is my right and left hand. If it weren't for him and Shen Aiqing, where would I have so much time to have fun, and it would be nothing to show him. ”

It took more than half an hour for the two of them to get up this time, looking at the palace maid, the chamberlain shuttled into the dormitory, but the emperor and the concubine were nowhere to be seen, Shi Wenqing and Kong Fan were as anxious as ants on the hot nest. kept circling outside, and at this time they realized that when the generals were waiting for them to meet them in the faΓ§ade, they were as anxious as fighting fires.

Finally, Chen Shubao finally got dressed and came out with Zhang Guifei, Shi Wenqing couldn't bear it anymore, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the Sui general He Ruobi rode 100,000 steps into Tunzhong Mountain from the north, the Sui general Yan Rong's 50,000 steps have approached the east of the capital, and the Sui general Han Baohu led 100,000 troops to attack Xinlin from the south. It's not far from Suzaku Gate. The prince of Sui and the prince of Jin served as the supervisor of the army, the marshal of the march, and there was also a report. There are at least tens of thousands of Sui army sailors cruising in the Jiangbei ** area. ”

"Ahh Chen Shubao was frightened by the series of numbers reported by Shi Wenqing, and said to Zhang Lihua tremblingly: "Concubine Ai, the matter is urgent, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Lihua was not as confused as Chen Shubao, her brows were raised, her phoenix face was covered with a layer of frost, her phoenix eyes were wide open, and she asked Shi Wenqing: "Shi Aiqing, didn't you say a few days ago that the Sui army would not accept the water and soil, and it would definitely go by itself after a long time, why are there more and more Sui troops outside the city, you have the intention of deceiving the saint." ”

"Yes, yes." Chen Shubao seemed to grasp a life-saving straw: "Shi Aiqing, is it a mistake, this time it was the front general who lied about the military situation?" ”

Of course, Shi Wenqing wished that the generals in front lied about the military situation, but this time the Sui army pushed too close, even if he stood at the head of Jiankang City, he could vaguely see the Sui army camp that stretched for more than ten miles outside the city, and the gate inside Jiankang City was closed, and even ordinary people knew that the Sui army was outside the city.

This Zhang Guifei is not easy to fool, Shi Wenqing's eyes rolled a few times, knelt on the ground with a plop, and cried bitterly: "Back to the saint, Niangniang, Weichen dare not deceive, the words reported above are true, and those martial artists are blamed for the disadvantage of the battle, otherwise the Sui army has already retreated, and Weichen is not worried about the saint, Niangniang, it is really damn extremely, damn extremely." ”

Chen Shubao's hands and feet were suddenly cold, and he didn't care about pursuing Shi Wenqing's crime, and said in a trembling voice: "The Sui army is coming to the city, do you have the crime of retreating from the enemy?" ”

Shi Wenqing's eyes rolled a few times, and he gestured to Kong Fan, who played on the side: "Shengshang, as the saying goes, the soldiers will block, and the water will flood, Xiao, didn't the two generals keep asking the emperor to let them lead the troops to the expedition a few days ago, it is better to fulfill them, as long as they are sincere, they will definitely be able to drive the Sui army away." ”

"Yes, that's it." Chen Shubao nodded again and again when he heard this, and shouted loudly: "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and invite the two generals over." ”

Not long after, Xiao Maha and Ren Zhong, who got the edict, strode to the palace, and saw Shi Wenqing, Kong Fan and the two were present at the same time, and couldn't help but open their eyes angrily at the two, these days, seeing the Sui army gathering more and more outside the city, but Shi Wenqing, Kong Fan and the two have been pressing the generals not to let them fight, and they can only watch the fighter plane slowly fail, and people of insight are all disgusted by Shi Wenqing, Shen Keqing and others.

Shi Wenqing, Kong Fan and the two old gods are here, Xiao Maha, although Ren Zhong's official position is higher than them, and the martial arts are not comparable to them, but there is the emperor next to him,

I was worried that the two of them would be detrimental to themselves.

Seeing Xiao and Ren two coming, Chen Shubao hurriedly asked, "Two generals, I don't know what strategy you have to retreat from the enemy?" ”

Seeing that the emperor finally asked about the strategy of retreating from the enemy, Xiao Moqi replied: "Shengshang, the Sui army has a total of three people, and at the moment He Ruobi is the most advanced, and the threat to the capital is the greatest. ”

It's just that Ren Zhong disagreed with Xiao Maha's opinion, and said loudly: "Holy Lord, the minister doesn't think much of what General Xiao said.

"Oh, so General Ren's strategy is still above General Xiao, please come quickly."

Ren Zhong bowed and talked about it: "Yes, back to the saint, although He Ruobi's department is the most advanced at the moment, but they have been rooted in Zhongshan for more than 20 days, and the deep ditch barrier is not urgent to break through, but there is a danger of being surrounded by the rest of the Sui army outside the city." If this is the case, Dachen Jiangshan is in danger, the art of war cloud: the guest army is in the quick battle, the main army is in the heavy, now the capital soldiers are abundant, more than enough to defend for a year and a half, it is better to wait for the Sui army to attack the city, a few months later. It's the time when the spring flowers are blooming. At that time, the river will swell. It is inconvenient for ships to come and go on the river, and the Sui army has been fortified for a long time, and there is no backup, so the morale of the army will definitely fluctuate, and then our army will counterattack in a big way, and it will definitely be able to win a complete victory. ”

"What? It will have to wait until the beginning of spring next year. Chen Shubao was annoyed when he heard this, and said sharply: "If you wait until then." I'm afraid the corpses of my land are rotten, what is your idea, no, absolutely not. ”

Kong Fan hurriedly fanned the flames next to him: "Shengshang, when the Sui army first came, General Ren said that the Sui army was vulnerable and was fighting to invite soldiers to fight, and now he really wants to let him fight." General Ren pushed back again. It is not a harbor of evil. ”

Shi Wenqing also began to help: "Shengshang, you should take the opportunity to repel the Sui army and break the enemy to Le Shi Yanran." In order to remember the great merits, otherwise the capital will be in trouble for a long time, even if it can resist the Sui army, I am afraid that it will cause local unrest and collapse of the country. ”

Shi Wenqing's words are not completely unreasonable, Chen Liguo has only been 31 years now, and some of the remnants of the former Liang in the local area have not been completely purged, so Chen Shubao will be on guard against Xiao Yan and Xiao Xian's coming to vote, plus the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes over the years have been a little heavier, if the capital is in trouble for a long time, some ignorant people may catch fire if they move a little.

Ren Zhong listened to the bitter smile in his heart, today is different from the past, in the past, there were only He Ruobi's men and horses outside Jiankang City, if Chen Jun went out of the city, he could win steadily, and now the strength of the Sui army outside the city has surpassed Chen Jun, there is a strong city not to defend, and taking the initiative to fight is tantamount to seeking a dead end, to this day the emperor still has trust in Shi Wenqing and Kong Fan, Ren Zhong can't help but be disheartened, and simply keep silent.

After listening to the words of Shi and Kong, Chen Shubao suddenly ruled out Ren Zhong's stubborn strategy, turned to Xiao Mo and said in a choked voice: "At this critical moment, I entrust Dachen Jiangshan to the general, can the general lead the army to fight to ensure that I don't lose Dachen Jiangshan?" ”

Seeing that the emperor was so trusted, Xiao Maha said angrily: "Holy Lord, rest assured, the Sui army deceived me too much, and today's war is not only for the country, for Your Majesty, but also for your wife and children, the minister will fight to the death, will not defeat the Sui army, and will never retreat." ”

Chen Shubao was overjoyed when he heard this: "Great, wonderful, with Aiqing's words, I don't have to worry about it." Immediately named Xiao Maha as the governor of the land and water armies, commanded the 80,000 elite soldiers in the city to go out of the city to fight the Sui army, and ordered to summon Xiao Maha's wife and son into the palace to reward, in fact, there is also a sense of surveillance. And Ren Zhong suggested a comprehensive defense, which did not conform to Chen Shubao's intentions, so he had to get a deputy governor and follow Xiao Maha to go on the expedition.

80,000 Chen troops swept out of the city, to the direction where He Ruobi's department is located, Xiao Maha to Lu Guangda as the vanguard, set up in Baitugang, in the southernmost part of the army, from the north is Ren Zhong, Fan Yi, Kong Fan, and Xiao Maha led the army in the north, the army is in the north and south for twenty miles, end to end, to He Ruobi pressure.

He Ruobi was only 20,000 forwards, and when he saw the Chen army fighting, he was not afraid, but he was ecstatic, the high walls of Jiankang City were thick, and the soldiers were well fed, if he wanted to attack forcibly, he might not be able to capture it in a few months, and the Chen army took the initiative to fight, which was in line with his wishes, and immediately sent people to the rear to send an order, preparing to encircle and annihilate the Chen army in the north city. At the same time, he personally led 8,000 soldiers and horses to fight with Lu Guangda into a group.

The Sui army is well-dressed and well-armed, and it is rooted in the mountain, just like a tiger descending the mountain, and the Chen army is trapped in the city for a long time, once out of the city, it is just like a dragon going to sea, and Lu Guangda is a rare good general, the two sides collided together, and immediately killed inseparable, both sides suffered heavy casualties, but no one refused to take a step back.

He Ruobi crossed the river all the way, somewhat arrogant, I thought that this time the Chen army was also vulnerable, but I didn't expect to encounter Lu Guangda's department immediately suffered heavy casualties, and was faintly at a disadvantage, his soldiers and horses could not compare to Lu Guangda, several times even He Ruobi was surrounded by the Chen army, He Ruobi was suddenly taken aback, put away the previous arrogance, retreated several times, Lu Guangda led the army in hot pursuit, He Ruobi was helpless, and finally just retreated into the village, Chen Jun stopped pursuing.

In this battle, the Sui army suffered thousands of casualties, and the Chen army won the first battle, and the morale was suddenly shocked, and the entire Zhongshan regiment was surrounded, and there was great intention to swallow He Ruobi's troops in one bite.

Twenty miles outside Jiankang City

The neighing horses roared, and Han Bao's 100,000 troops were stationed here, Yang Yong, Yang Guang, Gao Ying, Wang Shao, Xue Daoheng, and Du Yan...... They all gathered in a big tent, ready to discuss the way to take Jiankang.

Gao Ying had been in Jingzhou to pacify the remnants of the Liang State and never returned, and Yang Yong transferred him to participate in the attack on Nanchen a few days ago. Gao Ying's own strategy is outstanding, but from the beginning of the launch of the battle to cross the river to now only about a month, the Sui army of 500,000 troops all crossed the river, and Jiankang is also surrounded by more than 200,000 troops, the Sui army has achieved unprecedented success, everyone knows that if there is no accident, this time should dominate the world. Yang Yong transferred Gao Ying over. It also means that Gao Ying will get a piece of the pie from the great achievement of unifying the world.

Although everything went well for the Sui army. However, in order to maintain an army of 500,000 to attack across the river, and in order to win the hearts of the people in Jiangnan, it is impossible to collect grain and grass on the spot, and the materials consumed every day are a huge amount. Yang Yong and others were racking their brains on how to lure Chen Jun out of the city for a decisive battle.

A fast horse drove from a distance, and as soon as it reached the entrance of the barracks, it hurriedly raised its hand and shouted: "Emergency military situation!" Emergency military intelligence! ”

Just as the Sui army was about to get out of the way, the cavalry galloped into the barracks and rushed straight to the commander's tent, more than ten meters away from the tent, before two people stretched out their spears in their hands to cross the road. shouted: "The barracks are important." Someone dismounted. ”

"Phew." The knight had to hold on to the reins and jump into his horse, shouting: "Urgent military situation! Emergency military intelligence! ”

The two searched the knight of the place where the message was delivered. The sergeant was allowed to enter the tent, and everyone in the camp had already stopped discussing when they heard his shout, and stared at the sergeant who had entered the tent in a daze.

Although it was winter, the sergeant was sweating profusely, he didn't care about wiping his sweat, knelt down and held up a letter: "Report to His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the King of Jin, my lords, Lord He Ruo, the head of the march, has an urgent military situation report." ”

"Bring it on!"

"Yes!" A guard took the letter paper from the sergeant's hand, checked the envelope first, saw the fire paint, and the seal was intact, nodded, tore open the envelope, shook it a few times and saw that there was no problem before presenting it to Yang Yong, the reason why it was so troublesome was that Yang Yong made the rule after discovering that Yang Shuang had been poisoned, Gu poison is impossible to prevent, if someone pretends to send a letter and puts Gu worms in the letter, it is easy to poison the person who opened the letter, and now Gu cultivation is prevalent in the south, Yang Yong does not want to be bitten by someone with Gu.

Pulling out the letter, Yang Yong quickly glanced at it a few times, the smile on the corner of his mouth became bigger and bigger, and when he finished reading it all, he suddenly laughed: "God help me, Chen Jun will die on his own, everyone, it doesn't take ten days for our army to enter Jiankang." ”

Everyone looked at Yang Yong with blank eyes, eager to know the content of the letter, Yang Guangyi snatched the letter from Yang Yong's hand: "Look at this king!" ”

Only a few seconds, Yang Guang also laughed: "Great, great, the 80,000 elite soldiers of the Chen army went out of the city to fight with He Ruobi's army, and He Ruo's general manager has decided to annihilate all 80,000 Chen troops, once the 80,000 Chen army is destroyed, Jiankang can go down without a fight." After speaking, Yang Guang handed the letter to Gao Ying, Gao Ying's beard was curled, and after reading it, he handed it to Han Baohu.

After turning it in the hands of the generals, the letter returned to Yang Yong's hand, and the tent was suddenly full of joy, just now they were worried about how to lead Chen Jun to battle, but they didn't expect to come up with a way, Chen Jun actually took the initiative to go out, how could there be anything cheaper than this.

"The last general asks to go to war and support the North Gate!"

"The last general asks to go to war and support the North Gate!"

"Big brother, I also want to go to the north gate to have a look."

……

Du Yan, Xue Daoheng, Wang Shao and others asked to fight, and even Yang Guang couldn't help but be tempted, only Han Baohu didn't say anything, and He Ruobi was there at the north gate, so he didn't have to join in the fun.

"Okay, Du Yan, Xue Daoheng, and Wang Shao listen to the order!"

"The last general!"

"The last general!"

"The last general!"

"You and the other three, each with 20,000 soldiers and horses to the north gate to help in the battle, must annihilate all the Chen troops who went out of the city, and not let a single soldier flee into the city."

"Yes, the last general will obey!" The three of them clasped their fists at the same time, and their faces were happy.

Yang Guang hurriedly said: "Big brother, what about me?" ”

Seeing that Yang Guang was eager to make meritorious contributions, Yang Yongsi paid for a while, it is not a good thing to keep Yang Guang by his side all the time, it will only make Yang Guang resentful for a long time, and nodded: "Okay, you can also go to the north gate." ”

"Thank you, big brother!" Yang Guang was immediately overjoyed, and said cautiously: "I don't know if the eldest brother is going or not?" ”

Yang Yong shook his head: "I won't go to this palace, remember, Chief He Ruo is well versed in the art of war, although you are the king of Jin, you still have to obey the words of General Manager He Ruo, and you must not command indiscriminately." ”

Yang Guang nodded hurriedly: "Yes, the younger brother knows." ”
