Chapter 1 The defeat of the river
readx;
The first day of March in the fourth year of Jianwen. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere is no moon in the night sky.
Ping'an, the right deputy general of Pingyan's army, sent people to report to the general Sheng Yong, Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, and Tie Xuan, the great Sima Xiang, and at the same time ordered Gu Shenyu to take Zhong Kexi, hurry up the horse, and rush to the capital under the stars.
The messenger was dispatched, and General Ping ordered the army to withdraw from the river overnight and retreat to the river.
Sheng Yong, the general who was still in Texas, received the report and immediately sent the veteran general He Fu to lead the army to Xiaohe to join the army of peace, and admonished:
"Let's move to Lingbi, build a deep ditch and fortify the fortress, and use the old Yan army."
After He Fu left, Sheng Yong sat alone in the room, looking at the map on the wall in a daze.
Another year has passed in the blink of an eye. At this time last year, the battlefield was still in Hebei and Shandong, but today, it has reached the bank of the Huai River.
"General, King Yan sent troops this time, bypassed Shandong, drove south, and took Xuzhou directly, with obvious intentions. King Yan must have learned that there were few soldiers in my rear and that the Beijing division was undefended, so he was trying to avoid the real and take the Beijing division directly. ”
Sheng Yong was taken aback; Shen Ruoxiao's voice was in his ears. The separation was so short, and everything was only yesterday.
"Don't worry, general; I led an army to join General Ping, and after following the Yan army, I cut off its grain route first; The Yan army was lonely, and the food and grass were scarce, making it difficult to maintain. The general can ask Wei Guogong to lay a defensive line in Huainan, Fengyang, and Xuyi, connect with Huai'an Meiyin and horses from east to west, and intercept the Yan army north of the Huai River, and at the same time can attack with our army in the north and south, so that the Yan army can be attacked by the enemy on its back, and the head and tail cannot be taken care of. ”
Sheng Yong shouted: "Someone! Come! ”
His heralds come in. "General!"
"Quickly go to the Wei State Office in Huainan and ask the Wei State Gong to send troops to Qimei Mountain to support General Ping!"
The men took the order and left. Sheng Yong returned to the map.
The Yan army has reached the Huai River; The imperial army got their wish to cut off the Yan Salary Road and chased them to the Huai River, but they were ambushed by the King of Yan and were defeated. Ping An led the remnants to retreat to the creek; Sheng Yong had to order He Fuduo to bring people to the rescue, and ordered the two armies to join each other, and temporarily move the army to Lingbi. The Yan army went deep alone, and the grain route was cut off, and it could not last long. Stick to Lingbi and wait for the Yan army to break itself.
Shen Ruoxiao's voice sounded in his ears again: "Digging deep trenches, fortifying walls and high bases, and trapping the Yan army, although this plan is good, the food and salary are the weak link." The Yan army is lonely, and the grain route has been broken, although there is nothing to help; However, our army's food and grass are also very worried at the moment. The Yan army has burned all the 10,000 grain ships in Pei County, and now it has broken Xuzhou. King Yan is accustomed to the trick of robbing grain, in case this time, if he attacks and robs my Lingbi food and salary again, then our army will not only not be able to use the old Yan army, but will trap itself. ”
Sheng Yong only felt a heavy pain in his chest; He let out a long sigh and closed his eyes, unconsciously bursting into tears.
If few, if few...... The general trend is gone.
Gu Shenyu and Zhong Kexi rushed to the capital and went straight to the palace.
Zhu Yunwen and Fang Xiaoru were in the Wuying Palace, and Long Yan was shocked when he received the report, and the Zhu pen in his hand slipped off and fell to the marble floor, and the Zhu traces splashed, like a little blood.
"That's it...... Seriously?! ”
Gu Shenyu said: "Your Majesty can ask General Zuo to follow the herald; He saw it with his own eyes. ”
Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhong Kexi in horror:
"What did you see with your own eyes?"
Zhong Kexi has been in tears all the way, and he can't wipe it off.
"His subordinates were besieged by the Yan army with General Zuo, and in order to save his subordinates, General Zuo's war horse was stabbed by the Yan army...... General Zuo lost his horse, could not break through the siege in a strong battle, and was captured with his subordinates. The subordinates could only watch - watching King Yan put General Zuo ...... ...... him"
When he said that, he became a complete trumpet, and no one could hear a word clearly.
"What happened to King Yan?" Fang Xiaoru asked in horror.
Zhong Kexi cried like a frightened child: "King Yan ...... it himself." Handful...... Put the left general...... Chop...... hack ......"
Zhu Yunwen was shocked and angry: "Then how did you escape?" General Zuo died in battle to save you, how dare you steal back? ”
Zhong Kexi said: "King Yan sent his subordinates back to report the news, saying that it was useless for him to keep me, it is better for me to come back and report to the court to know the fate of General Zuo." King Yan also said that General Shen's body would not be returned, and he wanted to ...... He wants to stay in the army for the soldiers of the Yan army...... ...... to vent your anger"
Zhu Yunwen looked back again, and there were tears in his eyes. He roared:
"Get out! Don't let me see you again! ”
Gu Shenyu took out a letter box from his arms and handed it over.
"Your Majesty, before General Zuo left Texas this time, he handed over this book to the lowly post for safekeeping, and instructed the lowly post that once he had an accident, he would personally present this book to His Majesty."
Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a moment: "General Zuo has ...... Got a suicide note? ”
"The suicide note is here, please look at it."
Zhu Yunwen trembled and took the letter box, took out the book and silk, read it, handed it to Fang Xiaoru on the side, and cried bitterly.
Fang Xiaoru carefully took the book.
"If the guilty minister bows three times and weeps: Since entering Beijing, the minister has repeatedly received His Majesty's grace, which is innumerable. The minister came from a humble background, learned and shallow in his knowledge, was disobedient and stubborn, did not make a big deal, and sometimes made no words, offended the power of heaven, and can always see the person who believes in His Majesty, and His Majesty's generosity is also. His Majesty was born in one body, and the ministers have a great cause, although the ministers are full of liver and brains, nine deaths are not enough to repay the emergency. The person who wrote this book today is afraid that His Majesty will have no support behind him, and he wants to support him. The minister's mother has fallen into Beiping; His wife's hometown has a field house, and she returns to her hometown to work as a farmer and provide for herself. Everything in the family is arranged, and His Majesty does not need to worry about it; If there is a bequest, the inner chamber must not accept it. After the death of the minister, I wish His Majesty to stop all the knighthood and reward, and those who live in the mansion and the carriages, horses, servants, and utensils will all be checked by the household, and the minister will die without shame. If you can't follow Ji Shao's example and serve the royal driver, I hope Your Majesty will cherish it! ”
Fang Xiaoru put down the suicide note and sighed: "When is the generosity and purity so far!" Your Majesty is in mourning, take care of the dragon's body! ”
Zhu Yunwen raised his head and looked at Gu Shenyu angrily: "What about you?" Aren't you martial arts? How to let General Zuo fall into the siege of the Yan army alone? ”
Even Gu Shenyu, facing such a question from the Son of Heaven at this moment, was speechless, not knowing how to answer.
"You go," Zhu Yunwen turned his head, no longer looked at him, and shouted out of control: "You go away!" Go away! I don't want to see anyone! ”
Gu Shenyu had no choice but to withdraw from the hall and leave with Zhong Kexi outside.
