Since waving his troops into the country, Kim Jong-lei has not received the will of Emperor Chen Wudi. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This time it was not only a holy decree, but also a secret decree.

He wondered in his heart. What the hell is going on, making it so mysterious.

What does it mean that it was given to one person, and now it is to be read to two others?

He immediately sent someone to invite Princess Tancheng and Yan Shen. When the two came to the big tent of the Chinese army one after another, Jin Zhenglei retreated from the left and right personnel, and the three of them knelt on the ground together, bowing their heads and listening to Zhong Lice read out the emperor's secret decree:

"Fengtian carrier, Emperor Zhao said: Chu soldiers 100,000, unprovoked invasion of our country, Chu generals are brave and good at fighting, the soldiers are strong, Lianke several important towns in our country, Yangzhou City is in danger. Kim Zhenglei immediately led his troops back to China, galloped to the aid of Yangzhou City, resisted Che Li, and repelled the Chu soldiers. After the Chu soldiers were driven out of the country, they would run the patriotic military. Chin this! ”

Kim Jong-lei was stunned, he didn't expect that this was a secret decree to make him withdraw his troops.

Yan Shen patted Jin Zhenglei on the shoulder from the side and reminded kindly: "Marshal Jin, don't take the order soon!" ”

Kim Jong-lei seems to have just reacted.

"Obey the order! Long live the emperor, long live, long live! He bowed mechanically, mechanically shouted long live, and mechanically raised his hands to receive the order.

From the moment he heard the will to let the troops be withdrawn and returned home, he was absent-minded. The two voices of obedience and disobedience quarreled fiercely in his heart. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "the general will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected". At this moment, he can use this as an excuse to refuse to withdraw his troops back to Chen. But as soon as he did this, he would immediately offend Emperor Wu Chen. The emperor could have found an excuse to remove him or even cut him off from the post of marshal, and then he would not have the opportunity to take revenge.

If the troops are withdrawn and returned to China as ordered, the good situation laid down in the early stage will immediately come to naught, and the possibility of attacking the country again in the future is almost less than half. Because at that time, Emperor Chen Wu was jealous of the momentum of the Chu State, and he might not want to let him Jin Zhenglei stir up trouble anymore.

From this point of view, whether he returns to the army or not, his hope of reviving the army of revenge in the future is very slim. He was conflicted.

Zhong Lice saw that Jin Zhenglei was holding the holy decree in his hand, and he didn't say a word, and he didn't say anything immediately, so he asked directly: "Marshal Jin, I don't know when you plan to return to the army?" You know, the situation in Yangzhou is very critical! The emperor relied on the marshal very much, and hoped that the marshal would lead his troops to rescue Yangzhou as soon as possible! ”

Jin Zhenglei didn't answer immediately, he pondered for a moment, and then said angrily in a consultative tone: "Since the emperor wants Jin to withdraw his troops and return to China, Jin does not dare to delay." It's just that Xuanwu County still has some aftermath matters to deal with. Can Zhongli-sama give Kim a few days? ”

Yan Shen said unceremoniously: "The emperor's will is very clear, Yangzhou City is in danger, and we need to withdraw our troops and return to China immediately. Of course, it is to return to the army immediately! ”

Kim Jong-lei stared at Yan Shen. At this moment, he understood in his heart Zhong Lice's intention to let Yan Shen and Princess Tancheng listen to the order together. The emperor's so-called secret decree is to ask him to withdraw his troops from the country, and if he does not withdraw, he will have strict supervision and urging from the side.

If he disobeys the order, Zhong Lice may join forces with Yan Shen to remove him from the post of marshal, and the emperor must have issued another secret decree to Yan Shen. Zhong Lice's uncle Zhong Liwu is in the army, and he has a certain amount of military power in his hands, at least he can mobilize 5,000 soldiers and horses in his headquarters.

Kim Jong-lei glanced at Princess Tancheng again, who lowered his eyes and did not look at him, with an indifferent smile on his face, never saying a word, as if he was out of the matter.

It seems that if he refuses to comply, it seems that Princess Tancheng, who values the relationship between brother and sister, will no longer support her husband, and will even let it go when the minister announces that she will be relieved of her husband's position as marshal.

Kim Jong-lei shook his head. Hey, it looks like he can't help himself if he can't return to the army.

"Marshal Jin, in your opinion, how much time will it take to deal with the aftermath of Xuanwu County?" Zhong Licice didn't seem to be ruthless.

Kim Jong-lei quickly calculated the date of breaking Xuanwu County in his mind. According to Song Qi's report, in two days, the cloud car will be completed. Three days later, it was the night of the lack of the moon, and just when the moon was dark, the kamikaze was released from the cloud car and attacked Xuanwu County. At this moment, he had a thought in his heart, at least he had to take Xuanwu County before returning to China, otherwise it would be too much of a bag.

Jin Zhenglei raised his eyes and looked at Zhong Lice, "Lord Zhongli, can you please give me four days." Four days later, I will definitely send troops back to Chen to rescue Yangzhou City! ”

Zhong Licice glanced at Yan Shen, then at Princess Cheng, and agreed with a hearty smile: "Marshal Jin!" Deal! I'll give you four days! Hopefully, in four days, your GI will be on the road back to Chen! ”

"It's a deal!" Kim Jong-lei muttered.

To be honest, he was not sure if he could break through Xuanwu County in four days. He just wanted to delay the return of the army as long as possible, hoping to think of a way to deal with it.

Unexpectedly, Song Qi really lived up to expectations, completed the task brilliantly within the specified time limit, and broke through Xuanwu County.

After Song Qi attacked Xuanwu County, Jin Zhenglei had a flash of inspiration in his mind and thought of a wonderful and good way, that is, to let Song Qi take 20,000 soldiers to stay in the country. Song Qi can break through Xuanwu County, he can be regarded as a genius, maybe he can capture other cities, even if he can't conquer it, staying in Weiguo can be regarded as a wedge laid by him Kim Zhenglei in Weiguo, leaving an opportunity for him to return to Weiguo in the future.

Before Zhong Lice and Yan Shen entered Xuanwu County, he sent Song Qi away without consulting the latter two.

After Zhong Lice learned about the situation, he was very unhappy and said that Kim Jong-lei was disobedient in disguise. Yan Shen also said that Kim Jong-lei was simply nonsense, and even threatened to send someone to chase Song Qi's troops back.

Fortunately, Princess Tancheng voted for Kim Jong-lei on this point: "The reason why Marshal Kim wants to do this is also to chase the rebellious Chen Qushan." Moreover, General Song did not bring many soldiers, as long as there were only 20,000, it would not affect the combat strength of our army. ”

Since the princess said so, Zhong Lice and Yan Shen could only reluctantly agree.

Anyway, there are only 20,000 soldiers and horses, and it's not a big deal. You must know that Kim Jong-lei now has more than 250,000 soldiers and horses.

And that Song Qi is not an official General Chen Guo, it doesn't matter if he has him or not. Although Song Qi has some ability, Yan Shen and they value loyalty more and loyalty to Chen Guo. They felt that Song Qi was not from Chen Guoren, and what loyalty he had to Chen Guoguo, if anything, he could only put a question mark.

On the day that Song Qi led his troops to leave Xuanwu County and advance into the hinterland of Weiguo, Jin Zhenglei appointed Kim Jae-do as the vanguard officer, ordered Zuo Bingyou Yuan to be the vanguard on the left and right, and each led 30,000 elite soldiers to leave Xuanwu County first, and marched in the direction of Yangzhou City in the northwest of Chen State.

Two days later, Kim Jong-lei's army of more than 100,000 troops also drove back to Chen... (To be continued.) )
