Chapter 496: Shandong's Deployment (2)

At the beginning of April, Prince Hedan returned to Dadu. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It has been a long time since he left Dadu, and he came to the palace again, Prince Hedan found a lot of changes, the most obvious is that there are almost no Han ministers in the court, Prince Hedan did not think much about this aspect, the matter of the Mobei grassland, Prince Hedan is still clear, the negotiation between the court and Haidu, the emperor said in detail in the letter, you must know that the Mobei grassland alliance leader Haidu can completely exclude the Han people, the emperor cleaned up the Han ministers in the court, maybe it is for Haidu to see.

Haidu returned to Dadu and entered the palace, but he did not see the emperor for the first time, but the Mongolian magnates who had a good relationship with Prince Hedan in the court told Haidu, Yao Shu and Shi Tianze and other Han ministers that they also defected to Kaifeng.

This news surprised Prince Hedan, and at this time, Prince Hedan realized that his judgment was wrong, but then the worried mood haunted Prince Hedan's heart, why didn't the emperor say anything about such a major matter.

On the third day of Prince Hedan's return to Dadu, he met the emperor.

When he came to the main hall, Prince Hedan saw Prince Moge, Prince Habichi, and Wuliang Hetai and others, Prince Tachar had gone to the Mobei grassland, and there were still more than 10,000 Mongolian iron horsemen stationed in the Mobei grassland.

At the first glance of the emperor, Prince Hedan's face changed suddenly.

From the emperor's expression, he saw indifference, this is indifference after anger, and the prince of Moge on the side did not look at him, and there was no expression on his face, and Wuliang Hetai did not even look up.

What such a situation means, Prince Hedan is very clear.

Without waiting for Prince Hedan to speak, Kublai Khan spoke directly.

"Brother Hedan, I let you return to Dadu, there is nothing important, over the years, you have made a lot of contributions to the imperial court, it is very hard, this time back to Dadu, just take a good rest...

Hedan's body began to tremble, he knew very well what the emperor's words meant, that is to say, he Hedan has been abandoned since then, no longer talking about the great generals of the imperial court, will not continue to lead the troops to fight, and retreats to the side to rest.

Why this situation occurred is undoubtedly the reason for the setbacks.

He Dan turned his head to look at Brother Mo, Ha Bichi, Wuliang Hetai and the others, and his eyes lingered on Wuliang Hetai's body for a while.

Hedan, who has fought on the battlefield, is still relatively upright, and of course he has to open his mouth to defend himself.

"Your Majesty, the minister's share of the twists and turns, not to be afraid, the ministers have been fighting abroad for so many years, when have you ever been afraid, but this time the ministers fought with the Ming army, felt their momentum, and felt that the Ming army was difficult to deal with, so the ministers would write a special report to the emperor, showing the importance of fighting in Shandong, the minister was just trying to remind the emperor that he must pay attention to the fight with the Ming army. . . ."

He Dan said quickly, but the main meaning was clear, these words were also thought of by him on the way back to Dadu, which was a defense for himself, and also a reminder to the emperor.

Kublai Khan's face still had no expression, and after Hedan finished speaking, he slowly spoke.

"Brother Hedan, what you said is that I have also noticed that you are working hard for the imperial court, and I know it in my heart, as for other matters, I don't need to say more."

He Dan looked at the emperor and was stunned for a moment, and at this moment, he was a little angry.

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know why this arrangement is, whether it is the fiasco of the southern army, the minister has an unshirkable responsibility, the minister is not able to rush to the aid of the southern army, gallop to aid Ashu, but the minister has done his best, the Ming army has made all the arrangements, the minister has no way, the minister should not have said this, the deputy marshal of the southern army Ali Hague has been defeated in Haizhou and suffered the annihilation of the whole army, in this case, the commander of the southern army Ashu should be vigilant, should know that the Ming army is different from the Song army, Even if you enter Haizhou to conquer, you need to be prepared for everything, not rashly march... ”

Wuliang Hetai's face changed slightly, he never imagined that Prince Hedan not only did not reflect on himself, but also shifted the responsibility to the dead Ashu, to say that Ashu had a mistake, this Wuliang Hetai was very clear, it was precisely because he was worried that Ashu underestimated the enemy, Wuliang Hetai wrote the letter, who knew that Ashu was not able to attach great importance to it, which led to a tragic ending, but everyone is already dead, and there is no point in talking about it.

Before Prince Hedan finished speaking, Wuliang Hetai opened his mouth coldly.

"Prince Hedan, is there really anything that Ah Shu has done well, the army of Zhengnan was defeated by the Ming army, Ah Shu is responsible, and I also agree with this, but Prince Hedan shirked the responsibility cleanly, I think it is also inappropriate."

Wuliang Hetai's voice was cold, obviously extremely suppressing the anger in his heart.

He Dan couldn't care so much at the moment, stared at Wuliang Hetai, and spoke again.

"Wuliang Hetai, what do you think I have to do, let's take a look, if you can't make it clear, don't blame me for being polite...

Kublai Khan looked at the two of them with no expression on his face, and he did not open his mouth to stop the quarrel between the two.

Wuliang Hetai looked at Hedan and was not afraid at all.

"The emperor has long had a holy decree, the battle of Haizhou and even the battle of Shandong, Prince Hedan is the commander, Ah Shu is just the deputy marshal, all the strategic deployment of Ah Shu, Prince Hedan is also known, the experienced Prince Hedan, can't you see the problem, as the boss reminds the deputy marshal of the matters that need to be paid attention to, this is always okay, Prince Hedan said yes, unless he is thinking about letting go in his heart, thinking about letting Ah Shu encounter a setback...

He Dan looked at Wuliang Hetai and was dumbfounded, which he really couldn't explain.

"Let's talk about the matter of Prince Hedan's aid, when the army of the wise expedition to the south is in danger, the army is still advancing step by step, I don't understand, as a battle for aid, the two armies can meet as soon as possible, is the main purpose, I also know that the Ming army is fully prepared to prevent the army led by Prince Hedan from rushing to help, in this case, Prince Hedan should adopt a flexible way of fighting, the Mongolian iron cavalry moves fast, can quickly throw off the Ming army, towards Lianshui County, If the reinforcement army arrives in Lianshui County, perhaps the tragic losses will still occur, but I believe that the army of Zhengnan will not be wiped out... ”

"Prince Hedan is led by the Mongolian iron cavalry, and most of the troops under the command of Ah Shu are new annexed troops, and the combat effectiveness is not the same, which Prince Hedan is clear, even if the artillery of the Ming army is sharp, but in the field, the Mongolian iron cavalry can avoid the artillery of the Ming army to the greatest extent, which Prince Hedan is also clear. . . ."

"In front of the emperor, the minister didn't dare to say that Prince Hedan allowed the army to be wiped out by the Ming army, but the minister felt that Prince Hedan still had some thoughts in his heart while rushing to aid the army of Zhengnan, and I don't know what Prince Hedan thinks."

Wuliang Hetai said so much in one breath, the words were not very heavy, but the meaning of the expression was very deadly.

After enduring it for so long, Wuliang Hetai finally broke out.

Hedan's face turned pale, and he pointed at Wuliang Hetai with his finger.

"Wuliang Hetai, you dare to spew blood in front of the emperor, I, I can't spare you...

"Prince Hedan, there is no need to say so, when I was fighting in the Mobei grassland, you were thinking about calculating me, what else could not be done, Prince Hedan was thinking about how to deal with it, I just waited."

Prince Hedan finally couldn't hold back anymore, and clenched his fists and rushed towards Wuliang Hetai.

No matter who it is, they are not allowed to carry weapons when they enter the palace, and if Prince Hedan has a sword in his hand at this moment, he will definitely cut it down against Wuliang Hetai.

"Brother Hedan, this is the Imperial Palace, do you think it's in your mansion?"

When the emperor's angry voice came, Hedan's brain exploded, he looked at the Wuliang Hetai opposite, looked at the Wuliang Hetai who did not move at all, and suddenly found that he was too impulsive.

When he looked up at the emperor, Hedan spoke urgently.

"Your Majesty, the minister didn't mean it, it's just that what Wuliang Hetai said was too much, and the minister couldn't help it...

"Brother Hedan, if what Wuliang Hetai said is not right, you can just justify, the words can always be clear, if you don't agree with each other, you will do it, and you can't listen to the words of others at all, do you want to talk about you, it doesn't suit your meaning, you have to do it in this palace."

"The minister has no such intention, but the minister wants to defend himself."

"Okay, I still say the same thing, Brother Hedan, you have worked hard all these years, go back to the mansion and rest."

He Dan looked at the emperor, looked at Wuliang Hetai and the others, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"The emperor said so, the minister obeyed the order, and the minister went back to the mansion to rest well, and never disturbed the emperor again in the future."

Hedan's face suddenly returned to calm, and after saluting the emperor with a fist, he turned around and walked towards the outside of the main hall.

"Brother Hedan, wait."

Hedan stood still, for Brother Mo spoke.

"Your Majesty, the Hedan brothers are brave and good at fighting, at such a critical moment, if the Hedan brothers are allowed to return to the mansion to rest, it is a move to weaken their own strength, and the ministers think that it is better to let the Hedan brothers go to Shandong to conquer...

Kublai Khan looked at Brother Mo and looked at Hedan, and a smile appeared on his face.

Hedan's performance just now made Kublai Khan suddenly feel relieved, so many years have passed, Hedan is still so temperamental, in fact, during the battle of Xiangyang, Hedan calculated Wuliang Hetai, not because of his own attention, but because of the suggestions put forward by his staff, these things Kublai Khan investigated clearly.

Kublai Khan also thought about Hedan's justification just now, and it may be that Hatan felt that the responsibility was too heavy and difficult to bear, so he wrote such a recital.

"Since Brother Mo said this, I also think it makes sense, it's just Brother Hedan, it's time for your temper to change, and some of the words that Wuliang Hetai just said are not unreasonable."

He Dan looked at Brother Mo and immediately clasped his fists again and saluted.

"Your Majesty, the minister knows that he is wrong."
