Chapter 162: The Tiger Girl

At this point, we can't help but go back and recount some things that happened in the last two days that Lai Xing'er didn't know. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

A few days ago, the emperor used Shang Jing's hand to kill Wang Huaizhen, the general of the Shenhe Army, who had returned to Chang'an. That night, the Generalissimo's Mansion and the Ministry of War received the news of the loss of Jingzhou. What made the emperor even more frightened was that a few days ago the western frontier was still calm, and the latest news obtained in an instant was that the Tubo army had attacked Fenning, which was only more than 200 miles away from Chang'an.

Because more than two months ago, the important town in the river was captured by the rebels who were in danger for the second time, the emperor was trying his best to disagree with the people, using Fu Yi as the chief general of the whole army, and leading the army to confront the rebels in the river at the same time, the nearly 100,000 forbidden troops stationed in Gyeonggi were handed over to Fu Yi to command, so as to ensure that the defense line of Chang'an North Road was not broken by the rebels, therefore, at this time, all the troops stationed near Chang'an were only the 20,000 Yulin army led by Wu Bi, and then there were thousands of prison troops under Lu Guangting and two or three thousand government troops under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Mansion.

The news reported back by the scouts who had been sent to the former enemy to inquire about the movement of the Tibetan army greatly exaggerated the strength of the Tubo people, and exaggerated the 30,000 soldiers commanded by Zhang Liang to 100,000. The Emperor made a brief comparison of the strength of his enemies and his enemies, and without the slightest hesitation, he made a major decision: to move eastward.

Although he had decided to abandon the city and flee in his heart, after all, the emperor was also a person who had been the commander of the three armies, and he knew that fleeing without a fight would inevitably endanger his throne, which was not yet hot, so before abandoning the city and fleeing, he still urgently summoned a number of important ministers, including Jing Yuncong, Wu Bi, and Lu Guangting, in Yanying Hall to discuss matters related to the fortification of the city.

Jing Yuncong and Wu Bi did not wait for the emperor to speak, that is, they all stepped forward and asked the emperor for his life, to lead the army out of the city to meet the invading enemy.

The emperor glanced back and forth at Jing and Wu standing in front of him with an unpredictable gaze, and when he was still in a deep silence, Jing Yuncong couldn't help but generously stated: "The minister was ordered by the emperor, as the deputy marshal of the soldiers and horses, he lived in Beijing for a long time, and he was in the battle array, and he felt that he had lost the trust of the emperor, and he wanted to follow the dog and horse to repay His Majesty's kindness. I implore Your Majesty to pay 3,000 soldiers and horses, and the ministers are willing to go west to Chang'an, meet the barbarians, and strive to protect Chang'an. ”

The emperor didn't want Wu Bi to lead the troops there, and when he heard Jing Yuncong's words be very earnest, he couldn't help but be moved, got up and walked down the jade steps, took Jing Yuncong's hand, and said: "Jing Gong's fist is loyal to the pillow, how can I not be allowed to do so?" I asked Gong Jing to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to enter Fengtian to defend against the enemy first, and I will send an edict to Fu Yi, Lu Huaiguang and Liu Yi to lead the generals today, and urgently order them to return to Chang'an as soon as possible to defend against the barbarians. ”

Wu Bi, who was standing behind Jing Yuncong, wanted to ask for his life, but was stopped by the emperor with an unusually stern gaze.

Seeing that the emperor had granted his request to lead the army to meet the enemy, Jing Yuncong was unwilling to delay any longer, so he immediately implored Wu Biba to bring the three thousand Yulin soldiers under his command under his command, hugged his fists and bid farewell to the emperor, turned around and strode out of the Yanying Palace.

As soon as Jing Yuncong and Wu Bi walked out of the Yanying Palace, the emperor immediately sank his face, and ordered Shang Jing and Lu Guangting, who were standing in the palace: "Pass the decree, and today Shen Shi will move east, and everyone in the harem will follow me lightly and follow me to the east." At the same time, Wu Bi personally led the forbidden army and escorted him. Lu Guangting led the prison army to garrison Chang'an, serving as the backup of Jingyun Cong's department. Liu Wenxun, who was left behind in the river, immediately marched north after receiving the order, and asked Fu Yi to lead the army to return to the vicinity of Shaanzhou immediately to escort him. ”

He has already repeatedly considered this series of arrangements in his heart, and it can be said that it is clear which is more important and which is more important, which is closer and which is closer. Shang Jing heard that the emperor wanted Lu Guangting to lead an army to garrison Chang'an, and he felt very relieved: in this way, the emperor's previous reuse of Lu Guangting was not out of sincerity to treat him well, but only an expedient measure taken by the need for checks and balances. His position in the emperor's mind is still far above Luguang Court.

Thinking about the little Jiujiu in his heart like this, Shang Jing actually forgot that the strong enemy of Tubo was about to kill under the city of Chang'an, and happily rushed to the harem to pass the decree.

Jing Xuan learned from Shang Jing that her father had led the army west out of Chang'an to meet the strong enemy of Tubo, and the emperor had sent the news that the city was abandoned and ran eastward, and she couldn't help but be shocked and hated: she was shocked that Tubo was not good at coming, and Chang'an was now in danger, and it was difficult to resist the attack of the Tubo army with her father alone leading 3,000 soldiers and horses; What he hated was that as soon as the emperor heard about the invasion of Tibet, he didn't think about the best way to defend the enemy outside Chang'an, but he only thought about saving his life and escaping ********.

In an instant, all kinds of dissatisfaction with the emperor that had been buried deep in her heart since the emperor's ascension to the pole gathered in Jing Xuan's heart, prompting her to make an extremely astonishing decision: she wanted to stay in Chang'an and fight side by side with her father.

Not out of Jing Xuan's expectations, when she personally rushed to Yanying Hall and asked the emperor to stay in Chang'an, the emperor was only surprised for a short moment, and then approved it, but specially told Jing Xuan not to defend Chang'an, and when the city was broken, he must go east in advance to meet him.

Although he was able to share weal and woe with his father and face the enemy side by side, Jing Xuan came out of Yanying Hall and walked on the way back to Baoxiang Palace, still feeling that his heart was not good: he had been married to the emperor for nearly three years, although he was only a husband and a monarch in his mind, and far from being a lover and relatives who were close to each other, but at this time of crisis, he was willing to stay in Chang'an and support the crisis for him, but he could not hear any worry and reluctance from his mouth. It can be seen that the emperor has asked himself several times before, but he just regards himself as a counselor by his side. Thinking of his father's prodigy, but after the emperor ascended to the pole, he was given a cold reception and left idle for a long time, it seems that the emperor treats their father and daughter more than they reuse, and there is more suspicion than trust.

Jing Xuan thought about it alone, and couldn't help but feel disheartened. Rao is like this, she still cheered up and entrusted Xueqing to Zhu Shuang to take good care of her, lest she have an accident on the way to the east with her father; He also called all the eunuchs and palace people such as Cailuan in the Baoxiang Palace to him, and strictly ordered them to withdraw from Chang'an City with the emperor.

After everything was arranged, she ordered someone to bring her mount, which she had not ridden for a long time, and prepared to go into battle to fight against the invading Tibetan enemy.

When the news of the Tubo people breaking into the city reached Jing Xuan's ears tonight, she immediately ordered Lu Guangting to lead the army to guard the main gate of the Daming Palace, Danfeng Gate, while she herself led a thousand prison troops to the south of Chengtianmen to garrison.
