Han Ruzi came to Jincheng for the second time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The ministers reluctantly agreed to the emperor's personal expedition, but they never agreed to the emperor's exit, so he had to be stationed in Jincheng, where his majesty was in the pass, and set up temporary post stations on the road to keep in touch with Mayi City at any time.

More than half of the officials of the military department and the general's mansion followed, assisting the emperor in transferring troops and generals, transporting grain and grass, and making every effort to support the Chu army in front.

Han Ruzi didn't have time to complete the revival plan of Dachu, but everything he did had some effect after all, in a very short period of time, Mayi City gathered more than 200,000 troops, and the number could be more, but the supply of grain and grass would be troublesome, and the military department suggested doing what he could.

Lai Bingwen became the most important assistant to the emperor, although he did not serve in the military department for a long time, he did things in an orderly manner, and even the old officials for many years could not find a mistake.

Before dawn, he came to see the emperor, which was customary, and before the early dynasty, the two would meet first.

Han Ruzi got up earlier, and when the soldier arrived, he was reading the official documents.

"The number of enemy troops has increased again, and it is estimated that it has reached 300,000." Han Ruzi raised his head and said, as long as it is an official document from the front line, you can enter the city even in the middle of the night - the city gate cannot be opened, and the official document is placed in a basket and carried up by the guards at the head of the city.

Lai Bingwen shook his spirits, walked to the table after saluting, and pointed to the map spread out, "Although the number of enemy troops is large, there are also many baggage, and this enemy army is different from the Huns, not only cavalry, but also a large number of craftsmen and slaves, transporting siege equipment, so there is more baggage." Your Majesty, please see, the enemy army obviously thought that the city of Mayi would be the place of decisive battle, and the troops were mostly deployed in this area, and the Chu army only needed to cut off the grain routes in its rear, and in ten days at most, its army would be defeated - the more troops, the faster the rout. ”

This is a plan that has been formulated for a long time, Chai Yue led an army of 200,000 to attract the enemy army in Mayi City, and the veteran general Di Kai and others led an army of 10,000 to bypass the north, and attacked the enemy's grain road on an agreed date, cutting off the enemy army in Broken Iron City and the enemy army in Mayi City.

There are still three days to go, and the appointed date is approaching, and those who know about this plan are a little nervous, because whether this plan can succeed depends not only on Di Kai's strange army, but also on the reaction of the Huns.

Da Shan Yu led his troops to the north, heard that the decisive battle was imminent, and went south again to watch the battle, the Chu army had to pass through their territory, whether the Huns attacked or informed, it would make the Chu army's plan fail, so far, Da Shan Yu's attitude was very ambiguous, only said that he would never participate in the war this time, and did not give a secret promise.

"It's time for the King of the East Sea to come back today." Han Ruzi said.

The king of the East China Sea and Jin Chunzhong were sent to negotiate with the Huns, and only after they brought back positive news could Han Ruzi feel at ease to let the Chu army go to war.

"This battle is related to the survival of the Huns, the Huns should not refuse, it is said that Da Dan Yu is very concerned about his own status, and will not surrender to the enemy."

Han Ruzi nodded and asked, "Is there any news from Shenxiong Pass?" ”

"There is no change for the time being, most of the enemy troops have withdrawn from the mountain road, and they mainly harass every day, which is intended to prevent the Chu army from leaving the pass, not to attack the city."

Han Ruzi nodded again, the god and ghost Da Dan Yu obviously wanted to attack Mayi City.

The two talked for a while, the ministers came in batches, and they were still talking about military affairs, numbers and place names one after another, ordinary people had already heard it confused, but the emperor remembered it clearly, and immediately connected with yesterday's progress, and occasionally there was something that could not be remembered, Lai Bingwen would come forward to remind him.

The morning pilgrimage lasted until noon.

Han Ruzi didn't forget to remind Zhang Youcai when he was eating, "Others look at the situation, if the King of the East China Sea comes back, bring me to see me immediately." ”

The king of the East China Sea did not come back, and Ma Yicheng sent an urgent official letter, and Lai Bingwen personally sent it.

Han Ruzi put down the dishes and chopsticks, only glanced at them, and then had no appetite anymore, "'The enemy army launched an attack, and our army did not come out of the wall, and there were casualties among each other. 'Hey, the enemy can't hold his breath. ”

"Exactly, the enemy army has come from afar, and there are many burdens, and they are more eager than the Chu army to fight a quick battle."

Han Ruzi was silent.

Lai Bing Wenming White Emperor's thoughts, "Your Majesty is still worried that the enemy chief will come up with a trick?" ”

"We don't even know where the gods and ghosts are, this person is cunning, but he is used to tricks with heavy troops, so he must be guarded against."

"After the battle of Mayi City is over, the enemy chieftain will inevitably show up."

Han Ruzi smiled, waved his hand and ordered the eunuchs to take away the food and prepare to start the busy afternoon.

When the eunuchs came out of the house, Lai Bingwen stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, does anyone need to be transferred back from Mayi City?" ”

"I myself want to go to Mayi City to participate in the war, how can I transfer people to Guannai?"

The emperor didn't like to beat around the bush, so Lai Bingwen had no choice but to say directly: "Cui Teng is the son of Taifu, Taifu supervises the Western Regions, and it seems that the only son should not take the risk of arrows and stones." ”

"There is no need to mention this matter again, let's talk about it first."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lai Bingwen bowed and stepped back.

Han Ruzi endured patience for many days, and finally his curiosity overcame caution, and he said, "Why did Lord Lai abandon his civil affairs and leave the capital in the first place? ”

Lai Bingwen raised his head, "Didn't anyone tell Your Majesty the details?" ”

"There are rumors, I want to hear your own story."

Lai Bingwen's face was slightly red, "Since Your Majesty wants to know - the minister liked to sing flowers and willows when he was young, and he was a little famous in the capital, and the poems he wrote were also passed on by some people, but somehow, he was seen by a lady." The minister did not want to mention the name of the minister, and hoped that His Majesty would forgive him. ”

"Well, just talk about things."

Under a pseudonym, the lady wrote a few poems as a man and sent them to the courtier, hoping that the minister would give her advice. The minister is also young and casual, commenting word by word, going back and forth, and passing several letters. Later, the minister found that this person's poems were too charming and quite fatty, and guessed that she was a woman. Alas, the minister was confused for a while, and although he advised her to stop in the letter, he still replied to the letter. The minister didn't dare to hide it, and the minister did have evil thoughts in his heart at that time. ”

"And then?" Han Ruzi asked.

Lai Bingwen was silent for a while, "The letter was discovered, the husband's family made a fuss, and the minister had no face to gain a foothold in the capital, so he went away." ”

"What about the lady?"

"Minister...... After leaving the capital, I never heard from her again. The minister regretted that he had not done anything at that time, but he had never done anything unscrupulous, and he had never met that lady. ”

Han Ruzi smiled and said: "Since ancient times, heroes have been amorous, why should Lord Lai blame himself? ”

"Your Majesty is not guilty, and the minister is grateful."

Lai Bingwen retired and walked outside, feeling stunned in his heart, standing in a daze for a while, even he couldn't tell whether he was regretting or missing.

Now is not the time for children to be in love, Lai Bingwen restrained his mind, just met the gaze of a eunuch beside the emperor, and hurriedly accelerated his pace to leave.

Zhang Youcai admired the emperor so much that he shook his head and walked in, "Your Majesty, Cui Teng wrote a letter." ”

"Say who's coming." Han Ruzi took the letter, frowned when he read it, but laughed after reading it, "This Cui Teng, what did he say to me to 'have a beginning and an end', and also said 'to be a human being in the next life, and then run for His Majesty to serve and remove dust with a broom', does he clearly understand the meaning of 'holding a broom'?" ”

"Your Majesty really doesn't plan to transfer him back to Kannai?"

Han Ruzi put away his smile, "When necessary, I will also go to the battlefield in person, let alone Cui Teng?" Cui Taifu and Cui Teng should understand this truth. ”

"I'm not worried about Taifu and his son, it's the queen."

Han Ruzi was silent for a while, "The queen will understand my decision even more. ”

Zhang Youcai bowed and retreated, Han Ruzi knew that it was useless, but still asked: "There is no news from the King of the East China Sea and Jin Chunzhong?" ”

"No, I've been staring at it."

Han Ruzi waved his hand to let Zhang Youcai step back.

Throughout the afternoon, Han Ruzi was a little absent-minded.

The news of Mayi City kept coming, the battle on the front line was in full swing, the enemy army was very tenacious, and the means were changeable, the outposts and small cities on the periphery of Mayi City were lost one after another, and the Chu army gradually retreated.

No matter how fast the post soldiers are, it will take time on the road, and the emperors and officials who stayed in Jincheng can only see what happened a few days ago, and Han Ruzi really wants to fly outside the fortress with his wings and see the current situation with his own eyes.

But he can't move, and it won't make much difference if he really goes, he has given Chai Yue all the necessary powers, and the next thing is to see if Chai Yue can afford this trust.

Until nightfall, there was no news from the King of the East China Sea and Jin Chunzhong, and Han Ruzi didn't wait, went to bed, and had a few bad dreams.

The next day, Han Ruzi still got up before dawn, and a few urgent official documents came at night, the battle in Mayi City became more and more intense, and Chai Yue's response strategy was very simple, that is, he would not come out of the wall and refuse to fight a decisive battle with the enemy.

Even if there is no strange army that goes around, Chai Yue will wait for the enemy's momentum to decline before asking for a fight.

Lai Bingwen hurriedly walked in, defending Shenxiong Pass and fighting a decisive battle in Mayi City was the first strategy he proposed, and now that the battle has begun, he can't help but be nervous.

"Your Majesty, a letter from the enemy chieftain has been sent from the front."

"Why didn't I see it?" Han Ruzi was a little surprised.

"The enemy chieftain is disrespectful, and the ministers think that it is not suitable to enter the eyes of His Majesty."

"Haha, could it be that the gods and ghosts can still kill me with a letter? Well, if you don't look at it, you won't watch it, what does he say? Let Da Chu surrender again? ”

"Yes, and it is very arrogant, saying that it is to set foot in the capital and turn all the Chu people into slaves."

"The letter was written in Chu language?"

"Several scripts were used, including Chu."

"This god and ghost Da Dan Yu has a lot of hatred for Da Chu."

"It is said that the enemy chieftain is true to all nations."

"If the rumors are correct, he has indeed turned all the people of the Refusal into slaves."

"Great Chu is not comparable to other countries, and the defeat of the enemy chief will be in the city of Mayi."

Han Ruzi smiled, "I won't read this letter, you can copy it." ”

"Your Majesty, the language of this letter is vulgar ......"

"It's the enemy who is vulgar, not Da Chu, I just want the world to see their ferocity, Lord Lai, the battle of Mayi City is just the beginning, no matter whether you win or lose, there will be more wars in the future."

Lai Bingwen understood the emperor's intentions, "Yes, Your Majesty, this letter will spread to the world between the ten months." ”

Han Ruzi was about to speak, when Zhang Youcai ran in and said breathlessly, "The King of the East China Sea is back." ”

King Donghai and Jin Chunzhong hurried overnight and finally returned to Jincheng in time.

The king of the East China Sea spoke: "Da Dan Yu promised to stay out of the matter, but ......"

"But what?"

The King of the East Sea looked at Jin Chunzhong.

Jin Chunzhong said: "The noble concubine led 3,000 troops to join General Di and attack the enemy together." (To be continued.) )
