Chapter 66: The Imperial Expedition
"Your Majesty, since Qiu Ze'an went to deal with the Xuanyi Army, I don't know who to send to fight against Mengzhan?" Zhang Xian's eyes rolled for a while, thinking about it, I am afraid that the only generals in the DPRK and China who can wrestle with Meng Zhan are Xiao Niangen and Qiu Ze'an, now Xiao Niangen is trapped in Jiuyuan City, and Qiu Ze'an is going to be sent to quell the Xuanyi Army, so who else can be sent to deal with Meng Zhan?
The Xuanyi Army is just a group of slightly stronger rabble, and the 100,000 border army commanded by Meng Zhan is the elite of a hundred battles, in addition to the two armies and four battalions sitting in the Beijing Division, I am afraid that only Qiu Ze'an's Xinhui Army can compete, Zhang Xian dared to raise this point naturally because he felt that he had spoken of Zao Wouji's weakness.

"The ...... of the Mongolian War"
Zao Wou-Ki sighed softly, and the ministers below also listened carefully after hearing this soft sigh, not daring to make a sound, wanting to hear what Zao Wou-Ki would say.
"I have decided to take the royal conquest and crusade against the rebels." Finally, Zao Wou-Ki said the following words, but it caused an uproar in the court.
"Your Majesty is the Ninety-Five, in case of a slight accident, I will die and I will not be able to escape the blame, and I implore Your Majesty to take back your life." The first to speak out against it was Geng Qiusheng, and when he heard Zao Wou-ki's words, he immediately jumped out, because his tone was too excited, his old face was tightly knit, and his gray beard jumped up and down with the fluctuation of his lips.
As soon as Geng Qiusheng spoke, everyone in the court spoke out to dissuade them, whether they were sincere or contrived, they had to come out to express their loyalty.
Seeing the opposition of the courtiers, Zao Wou-Ki had already expected it, and a confident smile appeared on his majestic face: "Rest assured, I must be very sure that I dare to drive the expedition in person, and now when the country is in crisis, as the king of Great Chu, I will go to the front line in person and live and die together with my Great Chu soldiers!" ”
Zao Wou-ki's words resounded throughout the court, his tone was firm and unquestionable, and after hearing this, many of the courtiers present heard a surge of heroism in their hearts, and a burst of blood boiled, and at the same time stood up and said: "The ministers are willing to rush to the front line with Your Majesty, and live and die together with my Great Chu soldiers!" ”
Some people took the lead, and more and more people followed behind, and finally the entire court issued an impassioned oath.
Glancing at the atmosphere that was stirred up by his words with satisfaction, Zao Wou-Ki smiled and said, "I am deeply gratified that all the Aiqing are enthusiastic for the country and the people, but the Jingshi still needs you to guard the town, so this time I will personally select people to go together." ”
"The two armies and four battalions are the cornerstone of the Beijing Division, and they cannot be transferred at will, and I have summoned a total of 100,000 troops from the two counties of Nanyang and Leling to accompany me on the expedition."
Nanyang County and Leling County are not rich in elite soldiers and strong generals, is it too big to deal with the 100,000 border troops with the same number and hundreds of elite battles?
Although many people have doubts, they also understand that the mind of the saint today is by no means a faint king without a purpose, since he dares to say this, it must be a posterior.
……
The news that the Holy Lord was going to go to the rebellion in person spread in Beijing in an instant, and then the news quickly spread to other county capitals, and for a while, the morale of the entire Great Chu army and people soared, as if they saw the dawn of victory.
The emperor personally conquest, in the eyes of ordinary people, this is like the folk legend of the immortals descending to earth, the immortals have personally helped to fight, how can there be a reason not to win?
……
Jiuyuan City, the whole city is under martial law, all the generals and soldiers do not leave their bodies, there is no dead end within ten steps of the streets and alleys, all are patrol soldiers.
All the soldiers of Jiuyuan City knew that a great battle was coming.
There is a very ordinary deep house compound in Jiuyuan City, four in and four out, the courtyard is very large, but the decoration is a little simple, the center of the courtyard is a hundred-year-old tree, bare, and the sky stands.
Under the old tree was a stone table, several stone benches, on which were placed several plates of delicate vegetarian dishes, and a plate of cooked beef, and beside it was a pot of boiling spirits.
Meng Zhan was still wearing the shabby robe, sitting on a cold stone bench, chewing cooked beef and pouring strong liquor in one gulp.
There was no snow in Jiuyuan City today, but the weather was as cold as usual, the north wind was howling, and the sky was plain white.
"General, people have brought." An officer dressed as a lieutenant general approached with a woman and then stepped back respectfully.
The woman was thinly dressed, and she was also dressed in coarse linen clothes that are common to ordinary people, and in Jiuyuan City, she didn't play much role in keeping out the cold.
But the woman didn't care at all, in the cold wind, her posture was upright, like a proud cold plum, unyielding.
"General Xiao, sit." Meng Zhan looked up at the woman whose face was covered by messy hair, and smiled indifferently.
The woman raised her head, and the hair that covered most of her face was also scattered, revealing a beautiful face that captivated the country and the city, but a pair of clear and clean beautiful eyes looked at Meng Zhan coldly and did not say a word.
The woman is Xiao Ruiying, the Valkyrie of Great Chu, originally she and her grandfather Xiao Niangen were sent by the Holy Lord to guard Jiuyuan City, but when they were not fully familiar with all the military affairs in Jiuyuan City, Meng Zhan quietly appeared, and imprisoned their grandchildren and granddaughters with the connections and prestige accumulated over the years, and then regained control of Jiuyuan City, and finally declared war on Dachu under the banner of Qingjun's side.
Seeing that Xiao Ruiying didn't say a word or sit down, Meng Zhan smiled indifferently and said his purpose: "Zao Wou-Ki personally led the army to crusade against me, I want to ask General Xiao to be the vanguard of my army and help me take the lead and rub their morale." ”
Hearing Meng Zhan's words, Xiao Ruiying frowned, her cold eyes were expressionless, she glanced at Meng Zhan lightly, and still didn't say a word, her Xiao family was favored by the emperor and loyal to her, how could she help Meng Zhan to fight the official army, it was really ridiculous.
Meng Zhan seemed to have expected that Xiao Ruiying would not agree, and continued: "Old General Xiao is old, I'm afraid that a handful of old bones can't help the pain of prison." ”
Threat! Xiao Ruiying's expression finally changed a little, and her eyes were no longer cold before, but a murderous look.
"My Xiao family is loyal to Your Majesty, even if my grandfather and I die, I won't help you." Xiao Ruiying still has that firm look, even in the face of death and threats, she is not afraid.
Meng Zhan smiled and nodded: "Okay, the people of the Xiao family are really loyal, but what about this......" Meng Zhan's words suddenly turned cold, like snow flying in June, cold and biting.
With the words of the Mongolian war, then a group of border soldiers escorted a group of men who looked like ordinary civilians and walked out.
The people had ropes tied to their hands and their mouths were sealed, and all they could hear was the whining sound coming from their mouths and the fear of death in their eyes.
No more, no less, just a hundred.
Glancing at Xiao Ruiying, who was full of doubts, Meng Zhan pointed at the hundred people and said: "There are a total of 100 people here, all of them are ordinary people in Jiuyuan County, if you don't agree, I will kill them, tomorrow if you don't agree, I will kill 200 people, and the day after tomorrow if you don't agree, I will kill 300 people, until you agree!" ”
