Great Zhou, Zheng Guogong's Mansion.
"Cousin wants to drive the expedition?!"
The county lord of Luoqing was so frightened that she jumped up directly, and her mother, the county lord of Changhe, hurriedly grabbed her arm and quieted her down, and then whispered:
"What are you shouting so loudly for, although the emperor will set off with the army tomorrow, but this matter has not been announced after all, I am afraid that the imperial history and civil officials will not agree."
After listening to his mother's words, Lord Luoqing hurriedly closed his mouth, and then asked in a low voice:
"Mother, is this true? How do you know? ”
"Just now your father came back and said, they are worried that they don't know how to seduce the Huns and Turks, Your Majesty just summoned them into the palace to discuss, saying that they want to drive the royal conquest in person, carry the imperial flag, and put it in the Chinese army, the Huns and Turks will rush over when they see the imperial flag."
As soon as the county lord of Changhe finished speaking, the county lord of Luoqing clapped his hands happily and said:
"Your Majesty is so smart! That's a great way to do it! But、But what about my cousin's safety? ”
"How do I know, your father is also old and confused, and he actually promised to come down with such things, if something really happens, our family will be the first to suffer!"
The county lord of Changhe came to complain, and the county lord of Luoqing was also worried, and then said:
"Mother, then you say, if you let the Son of Heaven follow the army, and my cousin continues to stay in the palace, will it be okay?"
"Don't talk nonsense, the Son of Heaven Imperial Flag can also be given casually? Even if the Son of Heaven dares to give it, your father doesn't dare to ask for it! Besides, how do the soldiers think when they see the Son of Heaven Imperial Banner, but they can't see the Son of Heaven? The morale of the army is lost! ”
The county lord of Luoqing thought about it, and it was true, but it was still too dangerous after all.
"The first emperor will drive his own expedition in case of war, your father follows every time, the first emperor is the son of heaven right away, and now the new emperor has ascended the throne, your cousin is such a weak woman, although she has practiced some martial arts, but your father is still doing this, and she is really going to be angry to death for her mother!"
Seeing the angry appearance of the county lord of Changhe, the county lord of Luoqing began to think crankily.
[Then Li Guangsheng is a nerd, doesn't he have a better chance to perform in front of the Son of Heaven? ] 】
【Forehead...... I still have to worry about my cousin......]
………………
Wu Qiong sat on the bed, he understood what it meant to lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot.
He went to the Queen Mother's side for a walk, and listened to the Queen Mother talk about the future of the emperor's conquest on the battlefield, and patted his head and thought of a good idea.
That's pretending to be a royal driver!
Although the queen mother said that there has been no such thing as a fake royal drive throughout the ages, Wu Qiong can't go online to Baidu Why can't the royal car be fake, but the time is pressing, and the army must go tomorrow, otherwise the strategy of luring the enemy into the depths will not be good, and finally there is a perfect strategy, Wu Qiong still doesn't want to give up.
So from the Empress Dowager He's side, Wu Qiong immediately summoned Geng Zhong, Zheng Guogong and other generals to ask about the situation first.
The reason why he didn't call Wenchen was because Wu Qiong knew with his eyes closed that at the mention of the words "Imperial Driving and Expedition", the Wenchen were absolutely crying and grabbing the ground, maybe they wouldn't be able to leave tonight, if they could get out of this Weiyang Palace, they would be all hell.
Therefore, the military attachés were called to probe the tone first to understand the situation, and Wu Qiong found that there was still a big problem in this understanding.
At that time, I said:
"I thought of a good idea, I will give you the Banner of the Son of Heaven, you bring it with you in the army, that Hu Lu is here, and when he sees my Banner of the Son of Heaven, he will definitely lead the army to raid, so as to achieve the purpose of luring the enemy."
After finishing speaking, the military attaches below knelt on the ground in an uproar, including Geng Zhong and Zheng Guogong, who were forty or fifty years old.
Then begin to show faithfulness.
"The sun and the moon can be learned, the conscience of heaven and earth, and the minister has no intention of rebellion!"
"Your Majesty! Please believe in Lao Chen! The old minister is wholeheartedly, just to assist His Majesty, loyal to the Great Zhou! ”
"Your Majesty, if you want to give this imperial flag to the old minister, it is better to give Bai Aya poisonous wine!"
Okay, the civil officials haven't cried yet, but the military attachés have begun to cry and grab the ground.
Wu Qiong is stupid, how many brain cells have died in my brain to come up with a good method, why don't you clap your hands, but start to show loyalty? But after thinking about it carefully, what Empress Dowager He said is still very reasonable.
This emperor's imperial flag, it's really no different from the yellow robe. He, the emperor, gathered the generals together and wanted to send the imperial flag, in the eyes of these military attachés, isn't it just a temptation?
Military attaches also have brains, and not everyone is like Li Guangsheng, who has no emotional intelligence.
Especially these veterans, who can survive the smooth transition of the regime and leave it to themselves, the new emperor, to continue to use, they are definitely first-class people with first-class emotional intelligence, and this imperial flag dares to take it without a long brain?
But Wu Qiong mentioned it, and at this time, it couldn't be regarded as nothing, so he immediately said:
"Seeing your love for the country, I am very relieved."
Just think of it as if I had a stick and a date.
But the four words of this royal drive and personal expedition have been mentioned, and Wu Qiong is not easy to retreat, the key is that there is no time, and there is no good strategy to lure the enemy, so he can only fight Hu Lu in the suburbs of Chang'an City.
Hu Lu is all cavalry, and the Great Plains fights a decisive battle with the cavalry, even if he wins, he is afraid that he will suffer heavy losses, and most of the opponents can run away, but the perfect decisive battle place conceived by the generals is different from Wugong Mountain.
It is a mountainous area, and ambushes can be placed in all directions, and the cavalry is in the mountains, and the natural advantage is gone, and it is even inferior to the infantry.
One by one, the military attachés said:
"However, Your Majesty is bold and courageous, quite the style of the emperor, which makes the old ministers admire, as long as Your Majesty drives the expedition in person, pretending to go to Yuanzhou to relieve the siege, this Hu Lu will definitely be in the scheme!"
"Yes, I'm afraid it's not that I haven't fought yet, just by seeing His Majesty's imperial flag, this Hu Lu will be terrified."
"Your Majesty's royal expedition will definitely leave your name in history!"
"It's good to drive the royal car, and you're in all directions!"
"Let's do it in person, don't hesitate, I'll leave tomorrow."
"Your Majesty let go, I will protect Your Majesty if I wait for the old ministers to die, and never let Your Majesty be hurt in the slightest!"
"Bastard! What nonsense, Your Majesty is brave, how can you need our protection! ”
"Yes, yes."
Wu Qiong told them, that is, the waist pole is straight, which man does not have the ambition to break Loulan? Don't have the dream of sealing the wolf?
Wu Qiong seemed to recall the time when she was a child, holding a green wood bamboo cane and riding a broom, and thought that she was a general who commanded thousands of troops and horses......
"I, the Imperial Driver?"
The generals smiled:
"No."
It's arranged.
…………
Wu Qiong was still worried that she had privately arranged for Wu Zhi to arrange the matter of the royal driving expedition, and whether there would be any problems, but after sleeping all night and getting up together before dawn, she found that she was still in Da Zhou.
Yes, there is no need to explain anything to Wu Zhi, it is himself who is personally recruited, not Wu Zhi.
After four days in a row, you won't really be able to go back in the future, right?
Although a small part of the reason for the decision to drive the expedition in person was because of the generals, the bigger reason was that after Wu Qiong analyzed the stakes, he felt that this was the most suitable and best way at the moment.
Hu Lu knocked, it seems that the Great Zhou is a little weak, but in fact, the military strength of the Great Zhou is not weak at all, Zhou Gaozu has ruled the world for 20 years, and the Tubo, Turkic, Xiongnu, and the three major henchmen fight back and forth, and can also attack and defend the balance of power, the combat effectiveness of the Great Zhou is the strength on the bright side.
The old generals who stayed behind are also experienced in a hundred battles and use soldiers like gods.
Since they affirmed in their hearts the idea of their own royal driving expedition, it means that the imperial driving personal expedition is indeed feasible, and it is very likely that they have thought of it a long time ago, but it is inconvenient to say.
After all, like Kou Ling, the prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, who dared to take the initiative to force Song Zhenzong to drive a personal expedition, there have not been a few in 5,000 years.
Wu Qiong thought of this, and then thought about the expressions, tones and performances of those generals and military attachés at that time, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible, and slapped her thigh! A bunch of old yinbi!
Grass! My thighs are so silky......
In fact, this kind of thing is not uncommon in martial dynasties, especially the one to three emperors in the early days of the founding of previous dynasties, all of whom were gods of war and war madness.
Even the Song Dynasty, which emphasized literature and light martial arts to the extreme, Song Taizu, and Song Taizong, they were all immediately sons of heaven, as cowardly as Song Zhenzong, and they were also forced to drive the imperial conquest.
Therefore, it is not the heroes who create the current situation, but the current situation that creates heroes, this sentence is really very reasonable.
Looking at the dark sky outside the window, as well as the armor taken by the female officials and other palace maids, Wu Qiong was slightly distracted.
The royal driver's expedition......
…………
The Son of Heaven decided to go on an expedition and left an edict ordering the Empress Dowager He to supervise the country and assist the government.
Before dawn, this edict was sent to the six ministries of the three provinces, announcing the hundred officials.
The government and the opposition shook, and then there was no then.
Even the Imperial Observatory was quiet, and he didn't let out a single fart.
Because the Son of Heaven has taken the generals, commanding 20,000 forbidden troops, 20,000 Yulin troops, and 10,000 government soldiers, a total of 50,000 horses, out of the city and to the north, leaving more than 20,000 men and horses to guard Chang'an.
It is said that some Wenchen sighed:
"Why doesn't the Son of Heaven take me......"
…………
Wu Qiong was still worried in her heart, if Hu Lu didn't use Xiliang to besiege Chang'an, this army would have been pulled out, what if he went all the way to Yuanzhou?
Conquer Guyuan City by yourself?
In Guanzhong, the goal of the battle is very clear, that is, to lure the enemy deep into Wugong Mountain, and then complete the battle.
But when you arrive in Yuanzhou, it is very complicated, you have to guard the territory, you have to drive away the Hulu, and you have to decide by yourself every day, there must be a lot of things, what should I do when the time comes?
When will Wu Zhi come back?
Will Hu Lu really go to Liangzhou?
Is it true that these old guys say I'm absolutely safe?
Wu Qiong sat on the royal car, thinking wildly, and heard the voice of the female official Shangguan outside:
"Your Majesty, the spies will come to report quickly, and tens of thousands of cavalry from the direction of Tianshui have entered the boundary of Guanzhong!"
Wu Qiong's expression was shocked, as Li Guangsheng said, it was only the fifth day, and they really came through Liangzhou!
"Order the generals of all departments, and the commanders of the Chinese army will discuss the accounts!"
"No."
