Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Beacon of the Northland

Where there is black, there is white, where there is light, there is darkness, and people always deceive themselves into liking light and hating darkness. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info But in the end, I found that I couldn't do without the darkness, so I could only passively choose to accept it.

Wen Yong hugged Li Xiao'e, who was overwhelmed by all his emotions with her soft body, and thought wildly.

Li Xiao'e also felt Wen Yong's abnormality tonight, there was still a shy flush on her face, and she gently stroked Wen Yong's forehead, as if to smooth Wen Yong's tightly locked brows, "Your Majesty, no matter what decision you make, don't regret it, Xiao'e will always be with you." ”

Wen Yong smiled reluctantly, never getting tired of stroking Li Xiao'e's hair, "Don't worry, I'm measured." ”

……

In November of the 11th year of Taihe, the reform of the military system of the Great Zhou Dynasty was officially implemented, and Wen Yong read the newspaper submitted by the Great Sima Mansion and couldn't help but snort coldly.

Wen Hu was too anxious, and he was ready for military reform before Wen Yong issued the decree, and when the official edict was issued, Wen Hu suppressed the opposition with great efficiency and completed the preliminary reorganization of the army.

Fortunately, there is still a certain amount of cultural protection, and military defense towns such as Jiuquan, Yubi and Xiangcheng have not yet been implemented on a large scale.

In February of the 12th year of Taihe, the entire Chang'an fell into the festive atmosphere of the New Year, and every household put up lights, and every household was colorful, and the palace was naturally no exception.

In the midst of the splendor, Wen Yong's nervous waiting, such a wait is difficult, the later the Northland Hu people come, the greater the disaster they suffer, the more troops they gather, every moment is a kind of torment for Wen Yong.

"Bell!"

The New Year's bell has been ringing, and the noise of the people outside the palace gate has been transmitted to the palace.

After a glass of wine, Li Xiao'e beside her gently held Wen Yong's palm with her soft palm, feeling the coldness coming from her palm, Li Xiao'e felt the uneasiness in Wen Yong's heart for several days. Without asking too much, Li Xiao'e just gave Wen Yong a firm and encouraging look.

Turning over his palm, Wen Yong secretly grabbed the little hand into his palm.

Wen Hu sat not far from the dragon chair and accepted the greetings of the hundred officials, as if the host of this banquet was him.

Looking at Wen Hu and the ministers talking and laughing and encouraging, Wen Yong sneered in his heart.

……

Just as the whole Great Week is celebrating.

"Report!"

The Red Feather Flying Horse rode away from the Chang'an Straight Road, and the crowded people on the streets of Chang'an hurriedly dodged to both sides.

The Red Feather Flying Horse represents an emergency battle, and if you can't dodge and be hit and killed, you can only die in vain.

After a pause in the commotion, the people gathered again, pointing at the galloping knights, speculating about where the battle had begun.

"Report!"

It didn't take long for the second Red Feather Flying Rider to come from outside the Chang'an Gate again. The people haven't figured out the situation yet, and the third flying horse has already entered Chang'an!

The Red Feather Flying Horse could go straight to the palace of the monarch, and the guards along the way did not dare to stop it in the slightest. The dusty knight broke into the main hall of the New Year's banquet.

A newly promoted official didn't understand what the situation was, so in order to show his face, he even pointed at the knight and scolded: "Bold, who let you in." ”

"Bang!"

Wen Hu kicked away this stupid guy who couldn't figure out the situation, and asked with a round glare, "What's wrong?" ”

"Qiqi King Jin, six hundred miles of Lintao urgently, the Hu people went south to plunder!"

"The Hu people went south?"

"What year did the Hu people not go south? Let the border guards stick to it. ”

"Stupid, the Red Feather Flying Rider has been dispatched, which proves that the situation at the border is very critical."

The officials below were talking.

Wen Hu is also a veteran of the battlefield, and immediately asked: "How many soldiers and horses did the Hu people come?" ”

The knight replied: "This year, the snowstorm in the north is serious, and about 10,000 Hu cavalry have broken into Lintao to plunder. ”

"Ten thousand Hu Qi."

After the reorganization of the military system, the distribution of troops was already familiar with Wen Hu, and after a little thought, he ordered: "Order General Long Shou as a general, and lead the Seventh Army of the Left Guard, which has just been reorganized, to the north to meet the Hu people." ”

"Report."

Before Wen Hu's voice fell, another red-feathered knight broke in, "Yongfeng 600 miles urgent, 30,000 Hu cavalry south!" ”

"And!"

"Are the Hu people crazy?"

"Is this going to start an all-out war with my Great Zhou?"

The ministers present were full of discussions.

"Report!"

Before everyone could digest the information, another Red Feather Knight broke in, "Jiuquan urgently, 10,000 Hu cavalry go south!" ”

The ministers were completely panicked, thinking that the northern land must have suffered a serious disaster, otherwise the Hu people would not have gone south to plunder so frantically.

The servant Zou Ping admonished: "Your Majesty, the King of Jin Rongyu, the north has suffered a disaster, and Hu Qi is sacrificing his life to survive when he goes south, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for my Great Zhou to resist the edge." We are related to Beihu by marriage, and if we follow the example of the old and dismiss the army, we can turn the conflict into a jade silk with just a little wealth. ”

A group of civil servants echoed: "Yes, yes, the weapon of the soldier is not used by the saint!" ”

Wen Hu was a little moved when he heard this. The reform of the military system has just been implemented, and it can still cope with a small-scale war, and if it fights with the Hu people, the chances of victory are worrying.

Wen Yong's heart secretly said that if the court was biased towards peace, then the previous efforts would not be in vain.

At this moment, Wen Zhao, who was at the head of the city, gave Wen Yong a reassuring look, and then exchanged a few words with Chen Cheng, the imperial historian.

Under Wen Yong's gaze, Chen Cheng came out and said loudly: "Soldiers, with the blood of their husbands, take advantage of the war, and bring disaster to the country and the people." I hope that Your Majesty and King Jin will think deeply! ”

The moment these words fell, there was an instant noise among the warriors.

Wen Yong has to say that Chen Cheng's brain is a bit big, and now he is talking about war and peace, and he was pulled by him to criticize the martial arts.

Li An, the general of the auxiliary state, said angrily: "Lord Chen, what do you mean by this? Our generals sacrificed their lives to protect your wealth and wealth, and in your eyes, they have become a generation of disasters for the country and the people. ”

Chen Cheng defended: "Your Majesty is clear, the battle is dangerous, the victory or defeat is unpredictable, since ancient times, the belligerent will die, and the vain soldiers will not cultivate benevolence and virtue, and the world will be centrifuged." ”

"Chen Cheng, what you mean by this is to look down on me and wait!"

Jun Zheng, the auxiliary general, asked.

Most of the generals had a bad temper, and when Chen Cheng was so provoked, they deliberately blocked their breath and asked for their lives: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, I am willing to ask for my life!" ”

On the one hand, he is a confidant general, and on the other hand, he is a minister in the palace, although Wen Hu is biased towards peace, but he is a little uncertain at this time.

At this moment, the last straw that overwhelmed the camel finally arrived, and another red feather flew into the temple: "Report! Jinyang's 50,000 Hu cavalry went south, and the prince of Jin has led troops to meet it! ”

Wen Hu's face suddenly turned pale when he heard this, and the green tendons on his face were exposed.

Zou Ping said: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, immediately recall the prince, it is still too late to negotiate peace." ”

The Hu people's soldiers and horses are all light horses, so that Wen Hui's withdrawal at this time is not like a strong cow exposing its weak buttocks to the wolves. Wen Hu's heart was in turmoil, and for the sake of Wen Hui's safety and future prestige, Wen Hu finally decided: "You can't negotiate peace, Hu is as wild as a wolf, and cutting meat and feeding it will only promote ferocity!" ”
