Chapter 305: Brotherhood, Situation

On the blood book, the five scribbled characters of the King of Goryeo's rebellion are shocking in this dim light.

The letter was sent to Tokyo from Liaodong after several twists and turns! On the letter, the number of words is not very many, but between the words, the sense of urgency revealed makes the three people in the study feel heavy pressure.

The Dongying people, who suffered defeat in Jiangning, did not give up. They were not willing to fail, and since then they have lived on an isolated island. After some consideration, the top management of Dongying decided to shift the strategic focus from the strong Great Zhou to Goryeo, which was in a remote corner, with a slightly weak strength and a preference for the style of grass on the wall.

After contacting the king of Goryeo many times, the people of Dongying got the support of the king of Goryeo at a price that was difficult to refuse!

If the two sides join forces and unite with the Turks to capture the Great Zhou. Then take the south of the Yellow River, Taihang Mountain, and Wuyi Mountain as the boundary, the east belongs to Goryeo, and the bitter cold and desolate land in the west belongs to Dongying. In the north, it belongs to the Turks.

Under the coercion and temptation of the Dongying people and the Turks, the mediocre king of Goryeo finally decided to take a risk.

A month ago, the king of Goryeo suddenly ordered the capture of all the officials of the Great Zhou in the territory. Later, the Great Zhou army stationed on the front line of the Yalu River was also attacked by the combined forces of Goryeo and Turkic, and the Great Zhou army was caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties. In just three days, the defense line of the Yalu River completely collapsed.

Pinglu Jiedu made Kang Honglei seriously injured. Retreated to Changbai Mountain, reorganized the defensive line, and still led the army to resist desperately.

At present, the two sides are deadlocked in Changbai Mountain, and the war is in a stalemate.

Moreover, with the Pinglu Jiedu, Kang Honglei's condition worsened. The Great Zhou army was in danger of being defeated.

In the dim candlelight, the atmosphere was particularly oppressive.

In the room, there was only the slightly heavy breathing of a few people. Wu Ningyuan frowned, and the tea he was holding was already cold, but he didn't feel it, and said with a sad look in his eyes: "Moreover, according to reliable information, the Turks in the Liaodong area have also moved!" Hey......"

"And, in order not to cause panic inside and outside the court. So far, only the three of us know about it! Wu Ningyuan raised his head, looked at Lu Heng, and said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Lu Heng, who was holding tea, did not ridicule Wu Ningyuan for pulling himself into the water. Just nodded slightly, indicating understanding and understanding.

Wu Ningyuan stood up, walked to the screen, and opened the curtain, revealing a vast map of the territory of the Great Zhou.

He looked at the territory map, raised his hand, pointed to the situation in the northeast generation, and said with a sad look in his eyes: "Now the situation in the northeast is precarious. Yesterday, it was said that Wenshan had gone to Changbai Mountain to take His Majesty to appease the army. Moreover, in the current situation, the troops stationed in the north-western generation must not be moved. I'm afraid that the actions made by the Turks in the Northeast are just a temptation, or a deception! ”

Wu Ningyuan stared at the map for a long time, pointed at it casually, knocked on the Yanmen Pass, turned around, and said in a deep voice: "His purpose is still in the north!" ”

"Once we mobilize the northern army and reinforce the northeast, the troops in the north will be empty, and once the Turks are in difficulty, when the time comes, what resistance will we take?" Wu Ningyuan sat down, picked up the tea and snorted, drank wildly, and said in a deep voice.

After Wu Ningyuan finished briefing on the current emergency situation, the three of them fell silent again.

If the troops from Jiangnan are mobilized, go to Liaodong. Along the way, there are thousands of mountains and rivers. I'm afraid that if it arrives, the Northeast will be lost long ago! Wu Ningyuan thought so in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became.

In the room, the candles flickered, and the light flickered on and off. The dim light illuminated the solemn expressions of the three of them.

"The Northeast must be guarded!" The emperor, who had not spoken for a long time, finally spoke after being silent for a while.

"But, Your Majesty, how can you defend it without soldiers?" Wu Ningyuan frowned and asked.

"You don't have to worry about the soldiers. I'll do it! The Emperor smiled and said in a pretended light-hearted manner.

"What can you do?" Wu Ningyuan was also a little angry, his imperial brother has always been like this. I was about to be crushed to death, and I was still relaxed. In the eyes of outsiders, there seems to be nothing in the world that can make His Majesty frown and worry. But he knew that his royal brother was arrogant and never bowed his head. When he led his troops to encircle and suppress the Sichuan and Shu rebellions, he almost led to the annihilation of the entire army because of an intelligence error. He himself was surrounded by the rebels at Jianguan for a generation and could not move. However, this guy stayed there for more than ten days, and he didn't say a word. Later, when the emperor sent troops to arrive, he found that this guy was wearing a bright light armor and holding a big sword, and he went into battle in person.

Seeing that the imperial brother was still like this, Wu Ningyuan stared at him with a cold face and said, "It was like this before, and it is like this now.

Say, what can you do now? ”

Being reprimanded like this, the emperor didn't look angry at all. raised his head and glanced at Wu Ningyuan funny. Then he picked up the tea station, took a sip and shook his head with a smile.

"I have lived in the deep palace for so many years, and I haven't moved, and I almost forgot that I was also a military general back then!" The emperor stroked his beard, smiled, leaned back in the chair, and looked very leisurely.

"Do you want to go on a personal expedition?" Wu Ningyuan's face changed, his eyes narrowed, he looked at the emperor, and said in a deep voice.

"What, I'm afraid I'll beat you?" The emperor smiled, squinted his eyes, and looked at Wu Ning in the distance.

"Wu Chengqian, let me tell you, don't even think about it!" Wu Ningyuan suddenly became angry, snapped, slapped the table, stood up, pointed at the emperor's nose, and reprimanded loudly.

"I, Wu Ningyuan, are not dead yet!" Wu Ningyuan sat down angrily, glanced at the emperor, blushed, and said scoldingly.

Such fierce words made Lu Heng, who was contemplating on the side, a little surprised. Seeing that there seemed to be tears flashing in Wu Ningyuan's eyes, Lu Heng was puzzled in his heart. Turning his head, he looked at the emperor's haggard look again. Lu Heng's eyes flashed, and his heart shook slightly.

Could it be that the emperor he ...... Thinking of the possible surname of the matter, Lu Heng's eyes flickered, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and sighed slightly in his heart. Hey, what an eventful time!

Lu Heng was here, thinking complicatedly in his heart. And Wu Ningyuan was there, and his emotions seemed to be out of control.

It's not that he's in a bad mood and has a bad temper today. Instead, he looked at the haggard emperor in front of him, and couldn't help but think of the conversation with the emperor in the imperial study yesterday.

Yesterday, when he entered the palace to face the saint, he heard the eunuch say that His Majesty had fallen asleep.

Hearing this, Wu Ningyuan was greatly surprised. He knows that he is the royal brother, and he can't wait for one hour to be used for two hours. Why did I fall asleep so early today.

After glancing at the eunuch suspiciously, Wu Ningyuan directly pushed open the door and walked in.

Sure enough, just as he had guessed. In the imperial study, the lights are bright. The Emperor was still sitting there, reviewing the recitals.

"Then the eunuch said you sleep...... What is it? Wu Ningyuan was talking, but he smelled a strong smell of medicine in the air. glanced in front of the emperor, and immediately saw the hidden teacup, which seemed to be in a panic and did not have time to close it.

"Put it down!" The emperor noticed Wu Ningyuan's gaze, his face sank, and he stared at him.

However, how could Wu Ningyuan be frightened?

Seeing the emperor's gloomy expression, he chuckled in his heart, looked at the teacup for a moment, raised his head, and looked at the emperor.

"How long have you been sick?" Wu Ningyuan pressed his hands in front of the desk, his expression trembled, and asked.

"Stand down, I'm tired!" The emperor's face calmed down, and he looked at the eyes of the eighth brother with deep worry in his eyes. He sighed weakly in his heart, waved his hand, and wanted to let Wu Ning go away.

"Tell me, how long have you been sick......" Wu Ningyuan looked excited, grabbed the emperor's collar, and roared loudly.

"I'm not sick!" The emperor smiled slightly, reached out and knocked off Wu Ningyuan's palm, and tidied up the dragon robe. looked at Wu Ningyuan fixedly, and said with a smile.

"Big brother!" Wu Ningyuan couldn't hide the sadness in his heart, looked at the pale emperor, lowered his head, and put on a crying tone in his voice.

A big brother made the expressionless emperor, the indifference in his eyes suddenly disappear, and he looked at the old eighth brother in front of him fixedly, and his heart trembled.

Eldest brother...... It's so familiar, and it's a long time ago!

The corners of the emperor's eyebrows trembled, looking at the once world-famous Great Zhou God of War, now he looks like an old man, and the appearance of old tears is sad. I couldn't help but feel excited.

Lian is quite old, can he still eat?

In my mind, I can't help but think of the poem that the scholar once wrote. Looking at the old eighth brother in front of him, the emperor finally smiled, but the smile was very bitter.

Raising his head and looking at Wu Ningyuan, who was crying bitterly, the emperor had an excited look on his face, shook his head and smiled. Leaning on the dragon chair, closing his eyes, he said with a smile: "From when you left Beijing, to now, I'm afraid it has been more than 30 years. It's been so many years, and it's the first time I've heard you call me big brother! Ha ha! ”

Seeing Wu Ningyuan's tears in his eyes, his expression was painful. The emperor stood up, walked around the desk, stretched out his thin hand, and shook Wu Ningyuan's hand. sighed, shook his head and said, "Old eight, I can't get sick. Do you know? ”

"Because of the Turks, or because of Anjia?" Wu Ningyuan's eyes were like electricity, and he asked in a deep voice.

Hearing this, the emperor looked at him fixedly for a long time, sighed softly, shook his head, and said: "The external problem is like a skin disease, and the internal problem is fatal!" ”

"Who?" Wu Ningyuan lowered his head and thought for a while, he was so distraught that he couldn't think of anything.

"Shanxi!" The Emperor smiled slightly, turned his head, and glanced towards the north, his eyes flashing fiercely.

When Wu Ningyuan heard this, his body suddenly burst. Raising his head and looking at the emperor with a cold face, he muttered distractedly: "It's King Jin!" ”。

The emperor's face remained unchanged, he closed his eyes, sat down, and nodded slightly.

In the study, the candle flame flickered suddenly, and the dim candlelight in the room suddenly dimmed.

…… Now, seeing that the emperor is still pretending to be calm and knowing the emperor's body, at this time, seeing the situation of his last brother, Wu Ningyuan is distressed.

"Tsk, angry? Ha ha! The emperor looked at Wu Ningyuan's expression and smiled disapprovingly. Turning his head, he looked at Lu Heng, who looked calm, and said, "Oh, Yongzheng look, look at this old man so irritable, haha!" ”

When Lu Heng heard this, he did not echo the joke of Wu Ningyuan. Just smiled softly.

Holding the teacup and thinking about it, Lu Heng said lightly: "Now, it is the end of February, although it is a warm spring, but I am afraid that it will not be long before this weather will become cold again!" ”

He babbled so much, as if it had nothing to do with the matter in front of him.

But surprisingly, the emperor and Wu Ningyuan did not interrupt, but sat there quietly and listened.

Wu Ningyuan raised his head, his eyes flashing with expectation, waiting for this book to transform decay into a magical means.

With his understanding of Lu Heng, once this scholar speaks, he will definitely have a harvest, and it is still a great gain.

"The cold front is crossing, and the atmospheric high pressure in the north is coming again. When the time comes, heh, the northwest wind will definitely blow on the sea! Lu Heng sipped his tea while talking about the meteorological knowledge of later generations.

What a cold front, atmospheric high pressure. Listening to the emperor and Wu Ning were far away in the clouds.

The two looked at each other, and there was a blank look in their eyes.

"That's right!" Lu Heng suddenly turned his head and asked, "At present, including the Dongying people who landed, how many troops can the king of Goryeo command?" ”

Hearing that the scholar finally talked about the current situation, Wu Ningyuan's expression was shocked, and he replied directly, "Eighty thousand!" ”

"That ......" Hearing this, Lu Heng nodded slightly, and after thinking about it, he looked at Wu Ningyuan and asked again: "Then how many Shandong garrisons are there?" ”

"There are more than 80,000 of them!" Wu Ningyuan frowned, listening to the meaning of this scholar's words, it seemed that he was going to mobilize the Shandong army into the northeast. However, the time is too short, and judging from the current situation, I am afraid that it will be too late to deploy troops and support them for a long time.

"And what about the army of Jiangsu Duan Peng?" Lu Heng's eyes flickered, his mind was spinning rapidly, and he asked in an aggravated tone.

"If the two armies are combined, it will be enough for 120,000 people!" Wu Ningyuan said casually, turned his head, looked at the scholar and nodded slightly, Wu Ningyuan asked puzzledly: "If Yongzheng you want to mobilize the troops of these two places into the northeast to support Kang Honglei." I'm afraid this way won't work! ”

"From Jiangsu to the Northeast, it is more than a thousand miles away. The march of the great army, without thirty or forty days, is simply not enough. By the time they arrived, it was too late! Seeing that Lu Heng didn't speak, Wu Ningyuan thought that this scholar really thought so. He shook his head and smiled, and said in a somewhat helpless tone.

"Yes!" On the side, the emperor took over the conversation, stroked his beard and said in a deep voice: "Moreover, after such a long journey, the army must be extremely tired. It is difficult to form effective combat effectiveness in a short period of time. Even if we rush into the battle and the other side waits for work, our chances of victory are still slim! ”

After he said this, a look of suspicion flashed in his eyes, he frowned, looked at Wu Ningyuan who was shaking his head on the side, and muttered uncertainly in his heart.

It seems that the performance of the scholar in front of him is not quite in line with the image of the eighth brother who said that he is a military advisor who has no last resort! Even...... It's far from it!

The two of them were puzzled here, but the scholar smiled slightly, and after glancing at the two of them, he smiled and said nothing.

Under the anxious gaze of the two, the scholar picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup. After taking a sip, he leaned back in his chair and shook the teacup in his hand gently.

In the rising heat, the scholar's smile was mysterious.

"Who told you that I was going to send troops to reinforce the northeast?" Seeing the two old men in front of him, he was about to go crazy. Lu Heng smiled slightly, took a sip of tea, and asked with a smile.
