Chapter 321: The Emperor Gets Sick

Deng Cui is an uncertain general, his style is no style, no trace, he likes to do everything on a whim, thoughtfulness is a waste of time for him, arranging troops is a child's game, and the four words he often hangs on his lips are "improvisation". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the afternoon of this day, General Deng had been sleeping soundly, and only got up from bed at sunset, washed his face, had dinner, and energetically summoned all the generals in the city, announcing that he would launch a night sneak attack on the Huns outside the city.

No one understands that General Deng came up with this plan in a dream? Or are you prepared and go to bed to recharge your energy? Anyway, no one knew about the plan beforehand, and everyone was taken aback.

Deng Cui's battle plan was extremely simple, he selected 20 generals, each of whom selected 100 soldiers, a total of 2,000 men, from the south gate out of the city, directly attacking the largest number of Huns.

Among these twenty generals, there are fierce generals like Fan Bangshan, high-ranking officials like the forward general of the Northern Army, children of powerful people from families, leaders of honor guards around the emperor, and small officers from Jincheng.

The preparation time he left for the generals was very short, only a little more than an hour, and the second watch set off on time.

Two thousand soldiers, accounting for a little more than half of the Jincheng garrison, have no special plan, no clear purpose, to sneak attack nearly 100,000 enemy troops, even Fan Bangshan can't understand.

Deng Cui regarded himself as the descendant of the famous general Deng Liao's fellow clan, extremely proud, and did not allow others to refute or question in person, after the meeting, the generals discussed it a little, and felt that this plan was not feasible, so they recommended Fan Bangshan to explain the situation to the emperor.

Fan Bangshan was deeply appreciated by the emperor, and his mind was simple, so he immediately rode to the palace.

In extraordinary times, face and etiquette were not so important, and the emperor's guards, including the tall honor guards, were all sent to guard the city, leaving only a few dozen guards to protect the entire palace.

Fan Bangshan is famous, there is no need to report when entering the first gate, the eunuch of the second gate just asked him to wait for a while, behind the third gate is the emperor's residence, the guard is relatively strict, the central supervisor Liu Jie personally put the door, saw Fan Bangshan, nodded at him.

There was a faint sound of the piano behind the door, Fan Bangshan frowned slightly, it is normal for the emperor to have a hobby, but at this time, he still has the leisure to listen to the piano, which is slightly inconsistent with the emperor in his impression.

"When will I see Your Majesty?" Fan Bangshan struggled to keep his voice down.

Liu Jie put up a finger, and he didn't know what it meant, Fan Bangshan had to wait, but he was going to go out of the city to fight after an hour, he was anxious, the sound of the piano was just a series of meaningless squeaks through the crack in the door, not even a tune, the more he listened, the more upset he became.

"Your Majesty! I'm in a hurry! The sound of Fan hitting the mountain was like a bell, and this voice startled Liu Jie beside him.

"Y-How can you ......?"

Fan Bangshan was not polite, he grabbed the eunuch's shoulders with both hands, lifted it easily like a child, turned around and moved to the side, and said in his mouth: "I can listen to the piano at any time, but my business can only be said now." ”

Liu Jie was shocked and angry, and after his feet landed, he couldn't speak for a while, and watched Fan Bangshan push the door and enter the hospital.

The sound of the piano had stopped, and there were several guards standing in the courtyard, lined up to stop Fan from advancing.

"Your Majesty, I'll just say a few words, and I'll leave when I'm done!" Fan Bangshan said loudly, since he broke in, he couldn't give up halfway.

Zhang Youcai walked out of the room, "Your Majesty has summoned General Fan." ”

The guards got out of the way, Fan Bangshan strode into the house, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he smelled a fragrance, his brows furrowed even tighter, thinking to himself What is wrong with the emperor, listening to the piano and incense, are you afraid of being like this? Where is the brave emperor who came to the city to command the battle?

Walking into the house, Fan Bangshan finally understood what was going on.

The emperor sat on the chair and tried to straighten his body, but his face was pale, his lips were bloodless, and beads of sweat were faintly oozing from his forehead, obviously ill.

Fan Bangshan was taken aback, immediately knelt down, and said with concern: "Your Majesty...... I don't know ......."

"It's okay, a little sickness." Han Ruzi tried to squeeze out a smile, "What's the matter with General Fan?" ”

Fan Bangshan opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything, saying that Deng Cui had made a plan, and the emperor had to go out in person, but it was difficult to even get out of the room when he looked like him, "That...... That one...... I know it's not the time, but ...... Everyone is working hard to defend the city, can you ...... Can you give everyone a little reward, you don't have to execute it immediately, send a few holy decrees, say that you want to reward again, and everyone will be satisfied, and it will not be too late to reward after the siege is resolved. ”

"General Fan, don't worry, I have arranged for the officials of the military department and the official department to draft the decree, and you will be able to see tomorrow that the soldiers who defend the city will be rewarded."

"Yes, Your Majesty has thought of it a long time ago, it is me who is too stupid and too anxious, Your Majesty has a good rest, I won't bother."

Fan Bangshan got up to leave, but Han Ruzi stopped him, "I have contracted the wind and cold, and I will recover soon, General Fan...... Don't take it too seriously. ”

"Yes, not really." Fan Bangshan exited the room and greeted Liu Jie, the central supervisor.

"Now you know, you can't talk nonsense when you go out." Liu Jie reminded.

"No, absolutely not, not to be killed." Fan Bangshan almost swore an oath, walked to the door, and said to Liu Jie: "A victory can make Your Majesty's illness faster, right?" ”

"Maybe, if you're in a good mood, your illness will get better faster...... General Fan should not mess around, fighting is not child's play. ”

"Of course, there is also General Deng in charge above, and no one will listen to me if I think it's messing around." Fan Bangshan strode away, secretly vowing that he would win a battle tonight no matter what.

In the room, Han Ruzi lay down on his side, but he was no longer in the mood to listen to the piano, he opened his mouth to call a loach, and suddenly remembered that he had been sent out, so he had to say to Zhang Youcai: "You go out to inquire about what happened, General Fan saw that I was sick, and I didn't have anything to say." ”

"Your Majesty......" Zhang Youcai didn't feel at ease and left like this.

"I'm fine, Meng E is here."

Zhang Youcai had no choice but to exit the room and leave quickly.

Meng E stood in the corner, and Fan Bangshan didn't even notice her presence just now.

"I'll let them continue stroking." Meng E said.

Han Ruzi smiled bitterly: "Is it really effective?" I don't think the aromas and sounds are of any use, and they don't sound as calming as they used to. ”

"Your Majesty's illness is different, firstly, it is a rush to attack the heart, and secondly, it has been cultivating internal strength for a long time, and it suddenly stopped, so that the internal organs and six internal organs guard the emptiness, so a little wind and cold has become a serious illness."

"Can't I resume my cultivation?"

"No." Meng E did not give a reason, "The sound of the piano can replace the cultivation of internal strength, incense and medicine, and His Majesty will be cured within three or five days." ”

Although Meng E was not a Tai Doctor, and it was also her suggestion to stop cultivating internal strength at the beginning, Han Ruzi still decided to take her advice, "Okay. ”

Meng E went out, the piano sounded quickly, and Meng E also came back, still standing in the corner.

Han Ruzi lay on the couch and fell asleep, but he couldn't sleep, and a thought always popped up in his mind to wake him up, followed by a profuse sweat.

"Do you know Master Zhang Qin?" Han Ruzi asked.

"I don't know, but I know their voices." Meng E said.

"You know the rhythm?"

Meng E was silent for a while, "Yishi Island once wanted to restore the country with the help of the power of immortals, and made friends with many strange people, including some luthiers. ”

Han Ruzi couldn't help but laugh, "Do you still believe it now?" ”

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, Yishi Island has already become a force in the rivers and lakes, the things in the rivers and lakes are true or false, all believers are fools, and if you don't believe, you will lose many friends."

"Like the Hopeful."

"The Qi Looker is a warlock in the land of Yanzhao in the north, which has only risen in recent years, and there is not much contact with Yishi Island, but the luthier is an ancient industry, and the Kanto region has been prevalent for a long time, and there are people in the East China Sea who specialize in teaching this art."

"There are also luthiers in the palace, and it seems that they are not all the way with Zhang's father and daughter."

"Of course not." Meng E was about to explain that Zhang Youcai came back, and she immediately shut up and kept quiet.

Zhang Youcai ran all the way back and said breathlessly: "General Deng is going to launch a night attack and personally lead 2,000 troops out of the city." ”

Han Ruzi sat up quickly, and another layer of sweat appeared, and he almost fainted with a flower in front of him.

"Your Majesty......" Zhang Youcai hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"It's fine." Han Ruzi slowly lay down, "Since it was General Deng's idea, there shouldn't be anything wrong." ”

"But everyone said that this was a random idea, and General Fan came for this nine times out of ten, and he didn't dare to say it when he saw that His Majesty was sick."

"Deng Cui is the general who defends the city, everything is up to him, and it is useless for General Fan to say it."

The emperor trusted Deng Cui so much, Zhang Youcai was very surprised, "Your Majesty thinks this night attack can be successful?" ”

"In the past few days, the Chu army went out every night to harass the Huns, and tonight it may be successful."

"Harassing the Huns was not General Deng's idea at all."

"General Deng is improvised, nothing wrong."

Zhang Youcai originally wanted to tell the emperor that it was still too late to stop the night attack, but now he had nothing to say, so he thought about it again and again, "Two thousand people are half of the Chu army defending the city, but it is a drop in ......the bucket for the Huns."

Han Ruzi could still hear the sound of the piano, but his brain became heavier and heavier, and he muttered: "If Deng Cui is really a general, his target is not the Huns, but the ......."

The emperor finally fell asleep.

Zhang Youcai waited for a while, tiptoed forward, covered the emperor with a quilt, turned around and whispered to Meng E: "Don't you really need to find a doctor?" ”

Meng E shook her head, "I know what kind of illness Your Majesty has, don't worry." ”

Zhang Youcai couldn't rest assured, Meng E never said that she would cure the disease, but the emperor trusted her, and he couldn't help it.

The sound of the piano continued, the emperor slept soundly this time, and Zhang Youcai couldn't help but ask softly: "Your Majesty didn't finish what he said just now, what do you think the target of General Deng's night attack will be?" ”

"Siege engines outside." Meng E didn't think about it, and gave the answer directly, which she also felt strange, because she hadn't thought much about this problem before.

Zhang Youcai thought for a while, and patted it lightly on his forehead, "No wonder General Deng asked all soldiers to carry torches, but only a few dozen people can light them, and the others will go out of the city and then say that he wants to burn them." Your Majesty told you? ”

Meng E did not answer, she was learning to think about things in the emperor's way, which was the most important reason for her to return to the emperor.

She thinks she's learned well. (To be continued.) )
