Chapter 921 - Soldiers Don't Get Tired of Deceit
In the past, in Chang'an City, she was just a humble kabuki, first in Yang Su's mansion, and later resold to Yuwenshu's mansion. In detail, before Yang Su's mansion, she was actually the kabuki of the Jiankang Xie family. It's just that she was too young at that time, and she was only trained in Xie Mansion and didn't serve anyone.
At one point, she thought that she would always be a kabuki for the rest of her life. But she never thought that after that one meeting, her heart beat wildly. The look that made her deep tempted her to run out in the middle of the night.
The surging waves of the Yellow River rush at your feet, and you can see the murky water under the gaps between the bridges of this magical iron suspension bridge that was built in less than a night.
When was the last time you left Guanlong? Was it five years ago or six years ago? At that time, she was just a nervous Kabuki, and she was still worried about being discovered by the people of Yuwen Mansion. A few years have passed in a blink of an eye, and when she returns to Guanlong, she is already dressed in armor, riding a tall and fiery war horse, and behind her, there are 5,000 female military camps that directly belong to her.
had the experience of leading troops to Jiangdong last time, and this time when she heard that the emperor was going to personally lead troops to reinforce Guanlong, she went to see the emperor as soon as possible. Originally, he thought that the emperor who had made her intoxicated all the time might not agree, but he didn't expect it, he just smiled and looked at her a few times and said, "You want to go, no problem." ”
However, she seemed to have misunderstood his gaze at the time, and originally thought that this westward trip, she would have a chance to actually go to the battlefield. The last time he rushed to aid Jiangdong, although he also asked her to go south with the women's battalion she trained. But in the end. The momentum was great, but the battle was not decent at all. As soon as Chen's army crossed the river, the battle was basically over. Back and forth, she wore that gorgeous armor. But he didn't even touch the face of an enemy directly.
This time, she made up her mind that she must seize the opportunity to go to the battlefield and fight one or two in person. Along the way, she even refused the carriage he arranged for her, and instead wore her armor and rode a war horse all the way to stay with the women's barracks.
However, the emperor did not seem to intend to do what she wanted, and on the first night of the army leaving Luoyang, the emperor sent someone to pass her on to Jin. And then, in the lewd laughter of the emperor. She didn't get back all night. He didn't even sleep all night, and he didn't know when he had the idea in his heart, but he actually claimed that she was more beautiful in armor, and even took out a set of gorgeous leather armor made of white rhinoceros skin.
The entire suit of leather armor was dyed in a bright purple and red color. What made her even more shy was that although the armor was gorgeous and precious, it was actually hollowed out up and down, especially in the chest and thighs. Under that delicate cut-out pattern. The emperor did not allow her to wear a battle robe, and the dirty clothes and bandeau inside were completely revealed.
The more shy she became, the more excited the emperor became, and then it was the three hundred rounds of the battle. Fight until dawn.
They set out from Luoyang, with a total of 50,000 soldiers and horses. Among them, 20,000 were cavalry and 30,000 were infantry. Almost all the last bit of soldiers and horses in Luoyang were brought out. Originally, Zhai Wushuang also wanted to come, but before leaving, he was diagnosed by the imperial doctor as pregnant, and the other concubine Li Xiuning had already been diagnosed as pregnant when Jiangdong first came back. Two women who liked to lead soldiers as much as she did were pregnant, and she was the only one who could accompany her.
The army walked very fast, and the march was very stealthy along the way. In just three days, the army had already reached the east of the river from Luoyang, and then passed through the Yellow River where Mengmen crossed the long bridge.
For three nights in a row, the emperor had no intention of letting her go. The first night was the hollow armor, but the second night it was changed to tulle for her to sing and dance. On the third night, she dragged her directly to the Yellow River for a day bath, and she was so shocked that she kept squatting in the river and didn't dare to get up.
When she thought of the absurdity of these past few nights, she couldn't help but turn red and hot.
It's a wonderful feeling, although I always tell myself in my heart that it's ridiculous. But the more this is the case, the more irritating this feeling of absurdity and shyness irritates her. It makes her feel as if her whole person is seduced, and then she can't stop and indulge in it.
This morning, as the army was about to set off, the Emperor suddenly rode into her tent before she could react. The Emperor had pounced on her like a wolf, stripped her of her clothes, and then tossed around in the little tent, prostituting herself by day. In the end, she was even bumped into by the female deputy general who came to urge her to set off, and when she thought about it, she felt like she wanted to jump directly into the Yellow River. Now, the female soldiers behind don't know how to talk about her behind her back.
Zhang Chuchen bit his lip angrily, looked at the yellow dragon flag in front of him, and secretly resolved that no matter what, he would never let the emperor seduce him tonight, and accompany him to all kinds of absurdities.
She was carrying out this kind of cranky thinking all the way, and she didn't even notice that the army had unknowingly entered Yanfu City on the other side.
After entering Yanfu City, the army did not continue to advance, but immediately entered the city and stopped. The emperor sent someone to summon him to see him as soon as possible, and when Zhang Chuchen entered the general's mansion where the emperor was temporarily staying in an armored sword, ready to refuse, he looked up and found that she was not the only one who came, and all the officers above the rank of captain had already arrived.
The young emperor had a serious face at this time, and there was no trace of absurdity in the past few days.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have something to tell you!"
All the generals present couldn't help but feel nervous when they heard this, the emperor's expression was so serious, could it be that the Western Expeditionary Army had been defeated? Was Xiao Pass captured, or was Chen Ke's enemy defeated who took the initiative to attack Xue Ju, or was Marshal Chen Shuming and Chen Jie Xiangguo defeated by Yuwen Chengdu, and they didn't wait for the arrival of reinforcements?
"Something happened to the Western Expeditionary Army?"
"Nope." Chen Kefu shook his head. "It wasn't the Western Expeditionary Army that had the accident, but Xue Ju."
Chen Kefu said very calmly: "I just received an urgent report from Xiao Guan, Chen Kedi raided Lingwu, has taken Lingwu County, and captured Xue Ju alive. In addition, Chen Kedi used Xue Ju's seal to transfer Wuyuan Xue Renyue to Wuyuan, and then ambushed Xue Renyue with Hu Hai at Dengkou. Xue Renyue was defeated and fled back to Wuyuan, but Wuyuan was already captured by Huang Junhan using Xue Ju's seal talisman first. Xue Renyue was lured into the city by Huang Junhan, and was defeated and captured. ”
The emperor spoke so calmly. But all the generals present were all in unison.
Zhang Chuchen shook his fingers suddenly, and asked in surprise: "General Chen defeated Xue Ju, Xue Renyue's father and son, and has already captured Hetao Lingwu and Wuyuan and the two counties of Zhucheng?" ”
"Yes, that's right."
"But Chen Kedi's report before didn't say it. Xue raised 50,000 soldiers and horses to hoard Lingwu, and Xue Renyue 30,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Wuyuan? This Xue Ju's father and son combined have 80,000 soldiers, and General Chen Kedi's troops from Xiaoguan seem to be only 15,000 people, right? In this short period of time, how did he not only defeat the Qin army, but also capture Xue Ju's father and son alive and capture the second county? ”
"Chen Kedi is a natural general, and I knew he wouldn't act recklessly." Chen Kefu's fingers ran over the hilt of the sword. "Although Chen Kedi used troops to take risks this time, his approach was not wrong. In the face of the misguided situation in Guanlong, there was no negative choice to sit back and wait for help, but chose to take the initiative to attack and turn the crisis into a turning point. This is a positive approach, and it has the style of a famous general. This time, I will reward him heavily. ”
Just before the expedition, he was told that Yang Rengong, the prince of Guanjun, who had become the emperor's father-in-law, had been promoted to the title of Duke of Guanguo, which could be regarded as restoring the title of Sui Shi. This time, he also went with the army. It can be regarded as the deputy marshal of the reinforcement of the troops and horses. Wang Rengong is a member of the royal family of the Sui Dynasty, who has led troops all the year round and has also held official positions in the local area, so he still has a deep impression of Xue Ju. Especially for Xue Ju, who has always been unruly, but he is brave. is also very brutal, and it is not as impressive as Xinyi's son Xue Rengao.
"Xue Ju and Xue Renyue were defeated and captured. But Xue Rengao is still there. Yulin Chang Zhongxing still has 20,000 soldiers and horses in hand, and Xue Rengao is leading an army of 50,000 in Shuofang. Once Xue Rengao gets the news, according to this person's character, I'm afraid he won't stop there. ”
"Xue Rengao really won't give up!" Chen Kefu said: "Xue Ju is captured, Xue Rengao, the crown prince of Qin, will be able to rightfully ascend to the throne of Emperor Qin." And in fact, Xue Rengao really has no intention of surrendering, he has already led 40,000 soldiers and horses from Shuofang, and last night he had already captured Rulin City, the northern gate of Diaoyin. ”
Yang Rengong's face changed slightly, he was also a veteran of the battlefield, and the Sui Dynasty fought many border battles. He participated in several battles of Liao, and during the third Liao, Yang Xuangan rebelled and stormed the eastern capital. At that time, Yang Guang sent Yu Wenshu, Yang Rengong and Qu Tutong, three generals, to ride back to the Central Plains to suppress Yang Xuangan's rebels. In the end, Yang Xuangan's brothers were cornered by them and killed themselves.
Yang Rengong, who was experienced in the battle formation, heard a trace of doubt from the emperor's words, "Chen Kedi's general Feiying has just arrived, how can Gong Rengao get the news earlier than us?" ”
Chen Kefu smiled mysteriously: "No, Xue Rengao still doesn't know the news of Lingwu and Wuyuan. Even Changwu's Yuwen Chengdu has not yet received this news, and we are the third to know this news after Chen Kedi and Marshal Chen Shuming. ”
"Is it a coincidence?" No matter how Yang Rengong thinks of Xue Rengao's attack, it was a little sudden. If he was Xue Rengao, it would never be possible to attack Rulin at this time. The best choice for the Qin army is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and wait for Chen Jun and Xu Jun to jump out when they are both defeated.
Looking at the puzzled expressions of the generals, Chen Kefu smiled slightly: "Xue Rengao suddenly attacked Rulin, it was because this was my will!" ”
Li Junxian, who was originally stationed in Yanfu City, suddenly looked moved, and hesitated: "Yesterday, General Douluda in Shangxian County suddenly sent Zhao Pochen to lead a hundred light horsemen to Ding'an Chen Dashuai to deliver a letter, and he also let him take the ancient Great Wall trail on the border with Shuofang. Don't? ”
"That's right, this order was sent by the Flying Eagle to Douluda. Zhao Pochen was also assigned by me, and even the route was arranged by me. In addition, Zhao Pochen and his 100 light horsemen were ambushed by Xue Rengao on the Shuofang border yesterday evening, including the annihilation of Zhao Pochen's entire army, and the letters he carried were also obtained by Xue Rengao. The letter mentioned that I personally led my troops and horses into Long for reinforcements, and the time was to cross the river into Long tomorrow. ”
Yang Rengong's face turned pale and couldn't help but ask, "Why?" ”
There is still something to say later, but the meaning is already very obvious. If the emperor's purpose was to deliberately reveal the news to Xue Rengao, there were many ways. But if it is only to reveal the news, it is necessary to let a general and a hundred loyal soldiers die innocently, but this is no longer what Mingjun did.
Chen Kefu smiled, but did not answer directly.
Zhang Jin, the director of the Secret Service Department on the side, had already stood up, looked directly at Yang Rengong, and said coldly: "Because, Zhao Pochen is a spy!" ”
"If you know he's a spy, why don't you try it publicly?" Yang Rengong also has some understanding of Zhao Pochen's identity. Zhao Po Chen Yuan was a low-level officer of the Sui army, and later in the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Jiangnan clan rebelled, and Chen Pojun also joined the Jiangnan clan army. Later, Zhao Pojun, who had a grudge against Du Fuwei, crossed the river and joined Qu Tutong and became an officer of the Chen Army. Later, in the confrontation with Nan Chen, Zhao Pochen has always performed outstandingly, repeatedly made military achievements, and gradually improved.
Later, he was escorted by Qu Tutong to lecture in the martial arts hall, and after he came out, he made many meritorious contributions, and now he is already a tiger Benlang general of the fourth grade. Maybe it's because of Zhao Pochen's status as a general, which makes Yang Rengong feel like him. Seeing him die like this now, I can't help but feel sorry for him.
Zhang Jin and Yang Rengong looked at each other and said coldly: "Zhao Pochen is a secret spy of the Wu army, and he has been very hidden for many years. has secretly transmitted military information to Wu Jun many times, and the Investigation Department has long suspected him and has been collecting evidence. Now that the evidence has already been completed, this time he happened to be used, so he was directly eliminated by Xue Rengao's hand. Moreover, dying at the hands of Xue Rengao, His Majesty can no longer hold his family accountable, on the surface, he died fighting for the country, and his family can still enjoy his glory. ”
"What about a hundred knights?"
"They are all the henchmen and guards that Zhao Pochen brought with him from Jiangdong at the beginning, although it is impossible for them to be all secret spies of the Wu army, but some things are unavoidable. General Yang, what do you think? Zhang Jin asked.
Chen Kefu sighed: "Zhao Po Chen's secret spy matter, the evidence is sufficient. General Yang doesn't need to say more, I also remembered that he had also contributed to Da Chen, so he was not publicly tried and his reputation was ruined. The deceased has passed away, and letting him die with glory is the best ending for him and his family. ”
After a moment of silence, the matter was revealed. Yang Rengong asked: "Since Your Majesty has arranged it like this, I'm afraid it has a deep meaning, right?" But in this way, Xue Rengao is rushing in, does His Majesty want to fight him here? ”
Chen Kefu shook his head: "No, the main reason why I deliberately lured him south is to avoid waiting for Xue Rengao to get the news that Xue Ju was captured, and then stick to Shuofang. At that time, he would inevitably join forces with Chang Zhongxing, and it was even possible that he would defect to Yu Wenhua or the Turks after the dog was in a hurry. Everything is possible, Xue Rengao is a tiger, and we have to guard against it. Now we have lured it south in advance, and the strategic initiative is in our hands. Now, ladies and gentlemen, please take the floor and discuss how we can subdue this tiger. There is still one day left, so let's all show your respects. ”……)
