Just when Yang Ting and Zhengzhi were complacent and ready to make a plan, they didn't want Zhu Houzhao to suddenly wave his hand and say, "Elder Ge wait a minute, I have something to say." ”

"Your Majesty, please speak," Yang Tinghe and the others hurriedly knelt down to obey the order.

"Everyone, Aiqing," Zhu Houzhao glanced at several old ministers, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "In this battle in Ulzhou, I am ready to drive the expedition in person, and after you receive the order, go down and make preparations, I will set off tomorrow." ”

"What?"

Hearing this, Yang Tinghe and the others were all shocked, they reacted almost instinctively, and almost all shouted at Zhu Houzhao at the same time: "Your Majesty's move must not be, absolutely not!" ”

"Why not? Am I still afraid that he will not succeed in a group of thieves?! Zhu Houzhao got up angrily and said.

"Your Majesty, the royal driving is a big matter, how can it be done easily? Your Majesty is the body of ten thousand gold, the country and the world are all in one, once there is a loss, how can the ministers deal with themselves? As Yang Tinghe spoke, his heart was spinning rapidly, and he quickly thought of a series of extremely terrifying situations.

Don't look at Ulzhou is a small place, but the mountains are steep, the thieves are extremely cunning, after the emperor goes, it is very likely that an accident will happen, and then the world will be in chaos, even if the emperor is not injured or captured, such as today's cold and freezing, a little trouble is also a pain that the Ming Dynasty can not bear, so he must stop the emperor from driving in person no matter what, not to mention, once the emperor drives in person, it is bound to ∧ control the soldiers and horses in the world, not to mention the 30,000 troops under Yang Shen, that is, the army of the entire Ming Dynasty, may be held in his hands, that is the supremacy of imperial power, these courtiers will be completely reduced to vassals, now the clear stream is flourishing, Yang Tinghe is also unwilling to lose such a good situation, therefore, at this time, Yang Tinghe is the most anxious, and his words are the most intense, and he can't help but say urgently: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, don't you hear that Han Gaozu was surrounded by the Chu army, almost dying, Tang Taizong's generation of heroes, personally conquered Goryeo but also returned in vain, and suffered from epilepsy, Song Taizong let people escape by donkey cart in the Gaoliang River, Although my ancestor chased Mongolia five times, but he was only tired of running for his life, and finally returned in vain, and collapsed on the way home, the most painful thing is that my Emperor Yingzong became a prisoner, so that the change of the civil fort, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, a lesson from the past, the old minister dying and begging His Majesty to take back his life, the matter of pro-conquest, absolutely not, absolutely not! ”

Zhu Houzhao didn't expect that his pro-recruitment proposal would be opposed so strongly, and he couldn't help but be angry at the moment, and couldn't help but look at Jiao Fang, and asked in a deep voice: "Jiao Aiqing, what is your opinion?" ”

Hearing this, Jiao Fang's heart sank, and he said that he had asked the county lord of Weiyuan to go to the front line before, but now something has happened, and he still has a sin on his head, and now if he supports the emperor's personal expedition, then once something happens to the emperor, it is estimated that after he comes back, the courtiers will spit themselves to death with saliva, so Jiao Fang did not dare to support the matter of the pro-conquest, and he couldn't help but give up his hand at the moment Zhu Houzhao said: "The old minister also thinks that the matter of the pro-conquest of the imperial conquest is absolutely unacceptable." The emperor is the people, the most important thing is to sit in the capital, dispatch and command, once the personal expedition is outside, if the rear is lost, it will cause irreparable disasters, the old minister implores His Majesty to take back his life! ”

"The ministers implore Your Majesty to take back your order!" No matter what Jiao Fang said, he was also the head of the cabinet, he spoke, and the rest of the people immediately asked for their lives in unison.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but draw his knife angrily, and said angrily: "Jiao Fang Yang Tinghe, you are so bold, you dare to stop me, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" ”

"Your Majesty, please kill the ministers and others, it is just a matter of personal conscription, and the ministers would rather die than agree in vain-" Yang Tinghe stretched his neck, wishing that Zhu Houzhao would personally slash him, in that case, he would be famous for a hundred years.

Zhu Houzhao laughed angrily, chopped the case with a knife, and then said angrily: "The thief chief Liang Hong, disregarding the grace of heaven, not only gathered the strongmen in the green forest, gathered in the mountains and forests, and intended to rebel, but also blatantly hijacked the county lord of Weiyuan, which is extremely rude, if I don't kill him with my own hands, how can I relieve the hatred in my heart?" Ladies and gentlemen, can you understand my painstaking efforts? ”

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, please leave this matter to Yu Chen and others, and the minister promises to capture that Liang Hong to Jingshi and let His Majesty personally cut off his head!" Yang Tinghe hurriedly dispelled Zhu Houzhao's doubts.

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao was also helpless, and could only frown and said, "I can't wait now, how long will it take you to do this?" ”

"Your Majesty rest assured, at least a month, at most half a year, the ministers will definitely exterminate the thieves and be angry for Your Majesty!" Just kidding, it's just a few thousand bandits, if you mobilize the power of the entire Ming Dynasty, you can't destroy them, Yang Tinghe can really find a piece of tofu and kill him, in fact, why do you need the power of the entire Ming Dynasty, even the 30,000 people under Yang Shen can definitely destroy Liang Hong and them, Yang Tinghe doesn't believe that 30,000 people will not win against 5,000 people, he has absolute confidence in his heart at this time, so he dares to say such a thing.

"No, it's too slow, it's too slow, Yang Tinghe listens to the order!" Zhu Houzhao waved his arms irritably, and then said to Yang Tinghe: "I ordered you, ordered you to sit in the military department, and take full charge of the war in Ulzhou, and also ordered Yang Shen to be the governor of the thieves, control the military of Shanxi, Ningxia and Henan provinces, and be sure to wipe out the bandits within a month, and capture that Liang Hong alive!" ”

"The Lord's Decree—"

Yang Tinghe laughed, laughed again, this is the effect he wants, hehe, this time, he has soldiers and power in his hands, and he can't toss hard? How much strength can Liang Hong's people have, and it is not easy to destroy him with the power of the three provinces? However, don't underestimate this matter, if this matter is done well, it will be something that makes the emperor really happy, so when the time comes, he will definitely return to the peak of power, as for Jiao Fang? Hmph, a person in his seventies, how many days can he still jump?

Fast horses, with urgent paperwork, against the bitter cold wind, roared out of the capital, some went to Shanxi, Ningxia and Henan provinces to convey the will, and some went to the Ulzhou front line to transmit military information.

Yang Tinghe sat in the military department and was fully responsible for the scheduling of the war in Ulzhou, so that Liu Daxia, the secretary of the military department, was hollowed out, and Yang Tinghe inevitably took the opportunity to insert some henchmen into the military department.

The overall situation of the government and the opposition is once again under the control of Yang Tinghe.

At the same time, on the Ulzhou front, Yang Shen received the holy decree and Yang Tinghe's secret letter, and unconsciously immediately raised an army, 30,000 horses, braved the ice and snow, and marched towards Sanshan Pavilion.

And at this time, in a mountain forest not far from the Hengshan Post Road, Ling Hu Chong looked at Liang Hong with anxious eyes and said, "Brother Liang, or let's go back to Sanshan Pavilion first." In the past few days, there has been a lot of travel on the post road, presumably because there is an important will in the capital to spread to the front of the battle, and Fang Cai Yingying also sent someone to send an urgent report, saying that the army of Ulzhou City has exhausted and has marched to Sanshan Pavilion, and now it seems that they are about to attack, Brother Liang, the situation is critical, you see, let-"

How could Liang Hong not know the situation at this time? It's just that he is really not in the mood to fight at this time. I have been looking for three days and three nights, more than 200 people, and I have searched for hundreds of miles near the Hengshan Post Road, but I still haven't found Xiao Yu'er, and there is not even a trace of it, which can't help but make Liang Hong feel shocked.

As the search time lengthened, the hope became more and more slim, and Liang Hong's heart sank to the bottom of the sea, just like the old man said inadvertently: "This deep mountain and wild forest, and there are piles of snow, it is really difficult to find a little child, not to mention that it has been three days, the child may have starved to death, but he did not starve to death, fell into the snow hole and buried it, we will never find her, besides, there are many wild beasts on this mountain, jackals, tigers and leopards, a seven-year-old child, The chances of surviving, really, are too slim. ”

What should I do? Liang Hong closed his eyes, let out a long sigh, and finally could only agree to Ling Hu Chong's proposal.

"Leave some people to continue the search, and the others, let's go back together," Liang Hong said, turned on his horse, pulled the reins of the horse, and walked forward with a wooden voice.

……

"Wang Wensu obeys orders!"

At the same time, on Tianxin Peak, in the big tent, Wang Shouren sat upright in the middle, his face was very majestic, and he was calmly deploying the battle situation.

"You led 2,000 men and horses to meet the enemy, remember, this battle can only be defeated but not won, and it will be full of ugliness, and then you will lead everyone to retreat into the mountains, retreat according to the established route, and lead the officers and troops into the middle of the army!" Wang Shouren looked at Wang Wensu and said.

"Yes, the last general is at his disposal!" Wang Wensu took the order and left.

"Where is the Linghu Army?" After informing Wang Wensu, Wang Shouren turned his head and asked in a cheer.

"The last general," responded to Wang Mazi, the deputy commander of the Linghu Army.

"You immediately lead the Linghu Army to a few highlands to hide and hide, and act according to the rules when the time comes!" Wang Shouren shouted.

"Yes, the last general obeys!" Wang Mazi took the order and left.

Then, Wang Shouren made detailed deployment and command of each army, and then studied the terrain and military deployment in detail to ensure that all the details were thought of, then he stood up and looked at Ren Yingying and said: "There are only so many people in my hands, and those who can be used have already been used, and the terrain that should be used has not been wasted at all. ”

"Yes, you have done a good job, you are a commander, you are thoughtful, and you are a general," Ren Yingying looked at Wang Shouren, her face full of praise.

"Miss Ren has won the award, Shouren is just icing on the cake, the really powerful person is the eldest brother, he has actually arranged everything a long time ago, otherwise, according to Shouren's character, he will never dare to fight against 30,000 officers and soldiers with 5,000 people," Wang Shouren said to Ren Yingying.

"Yes, that guy is not a mortal, hey, I just don't know what happened to them now, and I don't know if I have found Xiao Yu'er," Ren Yingying also knew that all this was actually deployed by Liang Hong in advance, so she also agreed with Wang Shouren's statement, but she was a little worried about Liang Hong at this time, and she hoped that he would come back soon, and she didn't know why, when Liang Hong was not on the mountain, her heart was always empty, and she always felt that something was missing
