Chapter 27: Soldiers

Meng Xuanjue put aside the fold in his hand and asked, "Is there something going on in the city?" Let him in. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The person who came was the guard soldier at the city gate, and when he saw Meng Xuanjue, he knelt down on the ground and said, "Your Highness, the big thing is not good, the envoy of Ningjiang Jiedu rebelled three days ago." ”

Meng Xuanjue was startled, and walked forward quickly and asked, "When did you get the news, is it accurate?" ”

The person said: "At the end of the day, a soldier of the Ningjiang Army was ordered by Luo Huan, the judge of Kuizhou, to report that General Gao had already taken him into the palace to meet His Majesty, so that the little one came to inform His Highness, and the little one did not dare to delay." ”

"I know, you go back first, and the main palace will enter the palace."

After hearing this, the soldier breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly looked at Meng Xuanjue, only to see that although His Royal Highness the Prince's face was solemn, he was not flustered, he had always heard about the legend of the prince, and he was inexplicably very confident in the prince.

Meng Xuanjue did not take a carriage today, but dressed in military uniform, and rode a war horse towards the imperial city. At this time, it is still the New Year's Festival, and the dynasty has not yet been opened, but the Qinzheng Hall is already full of ministers, and they are all summoned into the palace by the emperor in a hurry, and many people don't know what happened, but many people have already noticed it, because they saw the garrison patrolling the city non-stop, and they were under martial law urgently.

"What else is this?" An official whispered.

Another person said: "It seems that something big has happened, have you seen it, the whole garrison on the street is under martial law, if it is not a hundred thousand urgent things, how can it be so?" ”

Meng Xuanjue went straight to the Qinzheng Palace, and the ministers saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was dressed in military uniform and was in good spirits.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Wu Zhaoyi and other important ministers immediately bowed their hands respectfully. The current Meng Xuanjue's status is so high that he is not far behind the current emperor Meng Chang, and with him, Shu has the backbone, so whether it is the Wuzhao descendant of the elders of the two dynasties or Meng Chang's henchman Li Hao, they are all respectful.

"This palace has not been in the court for several months, and I am very happy to see you today." Meng Xuanjue's face was majestic and heroic.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is majestic and heroic, and I will only look forward to His Royal Highness the Prince." Wu Zhaoyi smiled modestly, and arched his hand and said, "With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here, we can sit back and relax." ”

Li Hao and the others also nodded, as high-ranking officials of the Shu Kingdom, all of them are smart people, and they all know that although Meng Chang is in charge now, Meng Xuanjue is the actual person in power.

Suddenly, a soft voice came from the main hall: "Your Majesty has arrived, and the ministers are early." ”

The important ministers lined up for battle and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

Meng Chang didn't speak, but pointed to the border soldier in the hall, "You say." ”

The soldier added chapped lips, weakly supported his body with his hands, and said: "The Wuping army made Zhou Xingfeng with Yang Shifan as the vanguard, ordered 100,000 troops, and supported Ningjiang Jiedu to make Sun Yu rebel. Now that Kuizhou has been lost, Wanzhou is besieged by Yang Shifan's 40,000 forwards, and it is already urgent. ”

He paused for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the garrison of Wanzhou is less than 10,000, and the army and people led by General Shi Lao who garrisoned Wanzhou have made preparations before the war. ”

After hearing this, Emperor Shu clasped his hands tightly and trembled a little, but seeing that Meng Xuanjue didn't speak, he didn't know the bottom of his heart, so he said, "What is the prince's good plan?" Meng Chang was no longer as calm as he used to be at this time, he was a little anxious, and without waiting for Meng Xuanjue to speak, he said again: "The military and political affairs have been called to you, and the rivers and mountains of Shu have also been handed over to you." ”

When Meng Xuanjue heard this, he knelt down on one knee and bowed: "Your Majesty, your son understands. ”

At this time, some ministers found that there were several people coming quickly outside the palace, and the left governor of the Governor's Mansion Gao Yanshou, then the right Governor Zhao Li, and the general of the CD Mansion garrison, Gao Wentong, and other military generals of the DPRK and China rushed to come.

"Meet Your Majesty, meet the Grand Duke." When the generals saw Meng Chang, they hurriedly saluted Meng Xuanjue.

"The generals will be exempt." Meng Xuanjue showed a smile on his face, he had stipulated that people in the army only needed to call the governor when they saw him.

Meng Xuanjue was about to say something, when suddenly a small eunuch outside the Qinzheng Hall stumbled in, knelt down and reported: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, Wanzhou Urgent. ”

Meng Chang's body trembled, and he said coldly: "Pass in." ”

The little eunuch hurriedly ran out, and after a while, a garrison captain in red underwear and black leather armor walked in, and then knelt on the ground with a plop: "Zhang Da, the captain of the garrison general's mansion in Wanzhou, will see Your Majesty and meet the governor of the capital." ”

"Hurry up."

I saw Zhang Da take out a copy of the recital from his arms and said: "Your Majesty, Yang Shifan besieged Wanzhou, and Ningjiang Jiedu envoy Sun Yu led the Ningjiang army north to Bizhou, and it seems that he wants to make peace with the Zhaowu Jiedu envoy and cut off the Qinzhou army from going south to King Qin. ”

"Wanzhou garrison General Shi Lao fought with Yang Shifan two days ago, killed three thousand enemies, the military situation is urgent, General Shi Lao has been fighting bloodily for two days, Zhou Xingfeng's Chinese army has arrived under Wanzhou City, and the special order Weichen rushed to the capital to report the news, please send troops quickly."

When Meng Xuanjue heard this, he said to Wu Zhaoyi: "Old Prime Minister, the affairs of the court and politics will be handed over to you and Lord Li, now the situation in Kuizhou is urgent, and the palace cannot be delayed for a moment, I will go to quell the chaos immediately, but the reform cannot be abolished, it is still implemented, Gao Wentong." ”

After speaking, Meng Xuanjue said loudly to Gao Wentong.

"The subordinates are here."

"From today onwards, you will be controlled by the prime minister and Lord Li, and if anyone in the capital makes trouble, there will be no mercy."

When Gao Wentong heard this, he replied loudly: "Don't worry, although his subordinates have never been to the battlefield, the long sword at his waist has long been hungry and thirsty, and if anyone disturbs, his subordinates will cut off his head." ”

At this moment, Zhongshu Ling Li Shang said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, rest assured, with the prime minister, the capital will not be chaotic." ”

Hearing this, Meng Xuanjue nodded, then turned to the ministers, and said sharply: "Command Yang Ye, the chief soldier of Long'an Mansion, to lead the troops south, and be sure to annihilate Sun Yu's rebels, Gao Wentong took over the 27,000 military horses of the camp in Beijing, and the town guard CD will be dispatched to meet Zhou Xingfeng's army, and the current situation, except for the Wude Army and the Wuxin Army, the soldiers and civilians of other towns Meng Xuanjue are not sure, if other military horses are summoned in the battle, in case they defect on the battlefield, it will not be good."

Now there are still 10,000 garrisons in Wanzhou, and all the forces of the Wude Army and the Wuxin Army will be transferred, and then they will make peace with the Wanzhou Army, so that the soldiers and horses of these two towns can be recovered.

30,000 Wude troops, 20,000 Wuxin troops, plus 10,000 garrison troops, 60,000 against Zhou Xingfeng's 100,000 army, although it is still relatively reluctant, but there is no choice.

Meng Xuanjue thought for a while, so he made up his mind and said: "Order the Wuxin army and the Wude army must be assembled in Tongzhou within two days, and the palace will lead two thousand forbidden troops to Tongzhou. ”
