Chapter 234: The Emperor's Secret Decree
After Fu Haowei left, Song Qi still stood in front of the tent, looking up at the sky. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
There are stars in the sky, like sand in the sun, and a crescent moon like a small boat, hanging between the stars, is particularly bright and dazzling, and the moon is like the sweet smile of Mingyu.
The clouds float next to the moon, obscuring the moon for a while and revealing the moon for the next. The earth and the mountains were shrouded in a cold, swishing light like hoarfrost.
Song Qi couldn't help but shudder.
"Mingyu, where are you now? Are you looking up at the moon in the sky like me? ”
How much time has it been since he rescued and hugged Mingyu through a prisoner swap that day? It's been almost a month.
"Mingyu, are you as sleepy as I am now?"
At this moment, his heart was like a white ghost, turning into a white light, and in an instant, he flew to the sky above Xuanwu County, wandering in the streets and alleys of Xuanwu County, looking for the direction of Mingyu. However, his heart seems to be lost, and he can't find the direction of Mingyu...
*********
At this moment, Mingyu has moved away from Xuanwu County and arrived at the Beibing Pass on the border of the Patriotic State, and is about to enter the border of the Chen State.
It turned out that since Emperor Wei Ming received the first urgent document sent by Du Min, saying that the soldiers of Chen State were raising troops to attack under the leadership of Jin Zhenglei, the ministers of Wei Guo decided to send a letter of state to Chu State after many court discussions, asking Emperor Chu to mediate with Emperor Chen Guo and extinguish the war.
Since Princess Chu Xi came to Chu to make peace, Wei and Chu have become close to each other. After receiving the letter of state from Emperor Wei, the Emperor of Chu immediately sent a special envoy to Ningcheng, Chang of Chen, to meet Emperor Wu of Chen, hoping that he would issue an edict to stop Jin Zhenglei's invasion of Weiguo.
Emperor Chen Wu was carried away by Jin Zhenglei's successive victories, feeling that he was about to become the first emperor in the world, and did not take the mediation of Emperor Chu in his eyes, and his attitude towards the envoy of Chu was quite sluggish. There were even a few sharp-tongued ministers who figured out the emperor's thoughts, spoke disrespectfully, and humiliated the envoy of Chu in court.
The envoy of Chu was angry, and without saying goodbye, he rushed back to Chu in the starry night, and told Emperor Chu about Emperor Chen's informality, and even added oil and vinegar, saying that the whole country of Chen did not take Emperor Chu in his eyes. When Emperor Chu heard this, Long Yan was furious, and immediately sent General Fei Biao to lead 100,000 male divisions to attack Chen State.
In the face of the crusade of the Chu State, at the beginning, Emperor Chen Wu still had an indifferent attitude, "The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth." With only 100,000 Chu troops, what is there to be afraid of. ”
It's just that the general can fight in a row, and this time he came in anger, and he won victory after victory, and the momentum was like a bamboo, and in just a few battles, he successively took several important towns in Chen State, and the troops reached Yangzhou City, an important town in the northwest of Chen State.
Emperor Chen Wudi, in the spirit of soldiers coming to block and water to cover the earth, sent several generals to lead troops to Yangzhou to defend against the enemy. When they went, these generals were all arrogant, as if as long as they went, they could destroy the eclipse and return triumphantly. However, not long after they went, the heroic words of these generals turned into apologies and emergency documents without exception before the troops of General Chu's departure.
At this time, Emperor Chen Wu became anxious, and summoned the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty to hold an emergency meeting in the palace hall.
Emperor Chen Wu sat on the dragon chair, his dragon eyebrows were tightly twisted, his face was gloomy like water, he sighed heavily, and said: "General Chu left the Xing army to attack, and the soldiers arrived in Yangzhou!" I even sent a few generals to defend against the enemy, but they could not stop the advance of the Chu army, and Yangzhou City was in danger. I don't know what kind of strategy Zhong Aiqing has to retreat from the Chu soldiers? ”
The generals were speechless, the civil officials all bowed their heads, and the hall was silent. In the previous meetings, the ministers were not like this, at that time, everyone was in high spirits, and no one took Chu Bing in their eyes at all.
Emperor Chen Wudi's face was displeased, his gaze slowly swept over the lowered head one by one, and finally landed on the prime minister's solemn long face, seeing his wide mouth squirm, as if he had something to say.
Emperor Chen Wudi's eyebrows moved, and he asked, "Prime Minister Yan, I don't know if you have any suggestions!" ”
Seeing the emperor asking, Yan Zheng hurriedly lifted his robe, took a few steps forward to the imperial step, and bowed to the emperor, "Does the emperor know which general in our country is most afraid of Chu State?" ”
"The most feared thing in Chu is naturally Jin Zhenglei!" Emperor Chen Wu replied without thinking, and then his eyebrows fluttered, "Five years ago, the Chu soldiers invaded the territory, and they were hit head-on by Jin Zhenglei with me a few times, and they fell into the water and withdrew from the Chen State in a panic. At that time, when the Chu soldiers heard the prestige of Kim Zhenglei, they would be terrified! ”
Yan Zheng took over Emperor Chen Wudi's words and said loudly: "Since the Chu soldiers are so afraid of Jin Zhenglei, what else does the emperor have to worry about, just send Jin Zhenglei to defend against the enemy!" ”
Emperor Chen Wudi's eyes lit up, then dimmed again, and said with a wry smile: "It's just that Marshal Jin is far away in defending the country, and far water can't save the near fire!" ”
Yan Zheng spread his hands, and said: "Your Majesty, although the distant water can't save the near fire, but this fire can still be saved, you can't let this fire burn to Changning City!" Although Marshal Jin was far away in Xuanwu County, as long as he received the emperor's order, he would return to the division as soon as possible, and he would arrive in Yangzhou in less than ten days and half a month. Besides, when the Chu soldiers heard the news that Marshal Jin had begun to return to the army, their rampant momentum would be suppressed, so that the pressure on Yangzhou City could be relieved. ”
On the one hand, Jin Zhenglei's troops can be transferred back to resist the army of Chu, and on the other hand, Jin Zhenglei can no longer invade the country, which can calm the anger of Chu. Isn't what the Chu side wants is to transfer back the army of the guards. When this goal is achieved, they will naturally withdraw their troops, at least they will not and have no reason to die in Chen State.
Emperor Chen Wu frequently bowed his head and said: "Yan Aiqing is reasonable! I immediately issued an order to let Marshal Jin return to the army to rescue Yangzhou City! ”
Emperor Chen Wu accepted the prime minister's solemn suggestion, and immediately wrote down a holy decree in person, and sent Zhong Lice, a squire of the military department, as the minister of the Qincha, and rushed to Jin Zhenglei's military camp outside Xuanwu County day and night.
Zhong Licice is the nephew of the veteran Zhong Liwu, the same age as Jin Zhenglei, full of energy, strong and strong, the two had resisted the Chu soldiers side by side a few years ago, and they are considered old acquaintances. So when the two met, they felt very cordial, held hands with each other, exchanged greetings, and entered the Chinese army tent side by side.
After Zhong Li Ce praised Jin Zhenglei for a few words, "He uses soldiers like a god and is strictly disciplined", he restrained his smile and said solemnly: "Marshal Jin, the lower officials came to your camp this time and brought you the emperor's secret decree!" ”
When Kim Jong-lei heard the secret decree, he immediately stood in awe and fell to his knees in his clothes.
Zhong Licice hurriedly waved his hand to stop: "Don't be busy taking orders!" This edict needs to be read together in front of the princess and the strict prison army. ”
Kim Jong-lei's expression changed. (To be continued.) )
