Ten days later, the camp of Bodaoling.
The newly renovated 10,000-plus step armor slowly opened out of the camp. Xie Shuyan hugged his fists to say goodbye to Zhu Biao, and Feng Enjiang stepped forward with a tray.
On the tray are two black coarse porcelain wine bowls, and a jar of spirits.
Zhu Biao opened the seal of the wine jar, poured wine into the two wine bowls, picked up a bowl with one hand, handed it to Xie Shuyan with his left hand, and brought the wine to his eyes with his right hand, "Although the country is difficult, it can also prosper the country." ”
"No matter how difficult the country is, it can also prosper the country......" Xie Shuyan read silently, his eyes moistened suddenly, and he raised the wine bowl and drank it all. I wish the general's words, Xie will keep it in mind! ”
"No matter how difficult the country is, it can also prosper the country!"
The coarse porcelain wine bowl fell to the ground, and the awe-inspiring aura suddenly overflowed, and Uncle Xie rode his horse away.
============= dividing line ============================
Heaven seems to be working against the Northern Han Dynasty, and whenever the situation improves, a heavy stick will be struck down on the head.
After ten years of fighting, in the summer and autumn of last year, the combined forces of Han and Zhongshan won a victory, and even took advantage of the morale of 300,000 Zhou troops who were about to rush to the battlefield, and recovered the entire territory of Luozhou in one fell swoop, and more than 300,000 troops went to Saiwai. The excitement of the military and the people at home can be described as the joy of the whole country.
However, in just ten days, a basin of cold water was poured on the head, almost breaking the hearts of the whole country. The northern army of the expedition was annihilated, and six or seven hundred thousand Hu cavalry were about to rush south.
But the result was a false alarm, the Han and Zhongshan coalition forces that poured troops north to support held the line in Luozhou, and Zhu Biao was alone in Beiling, which was not lost for nearly half a year, and directly extinguished Hu Qi's drinking horse Luoming River, showing off the expectations of Beiping City.
The catastrophe passed, even the treachery of the Heavenly Empire survived, the shameless small country of Zhongshan broke the contract and broke the alliance, and the situation in the Northern Han Dynasty was once again on the good side after a series of heavy blows. However, at this time, King Han fell ill.
Before Xie Shuyan's troops went north. Ji Zhao, who ran out of oil and dried up the lamp, finally couldn't support it anymore and fell into a coma on the spot during a court meeting.
Prime Minister's Office.
The third duke, the sixth department, the nine qing, Zhu Biao, the important ministers of the imperial court, and the heavy generals who led the troops. All gathered together.
The people sat in rank according to their positions. Although Zhu Biao's actual importance is much higher than that of Dasi Nong, the Ministry of Rites, and a group of other people, he ranks last. Even he didn't doubt it.
Prime Minister Gao Shouxun summoned everyone this time, and the first thing to discuss was - according to the Han law, the king is seriously ill and cannot be a director, and if there is a prince, the prince will supervise the country; There is no prince. The Three Princes held the court; If the king's illness cannot be reversed, the above table asks the king to quickly establish a prince.
At present, the first thing to be determined is that the three princes hold the dynasty, "If you have no objections, you will make a decision." Gao Shouxun's face was solemn to the extreme, even more solemn than when he was worshiped by Ji Zhao as the minister of state.
"Obey the order of the three princesses." Liubu, Jiuqing and Zhu Biao got up and walked towards Gao Shouxun, and Cai Tingshen and Yu Shi Dafu on both sides bowed together.
"The second thing is that the king of Zhongshan sent a letter of state to transfer back the Zhongshan soldiers and horses, and the Zhongshan army in Luozhou has withdrawn to the south of Yuming County. He is now confronting General Wu's headquarters.
What do you think? ”
What is called falling into a well, Zhongshan is like this.
"As soon as the prime minister gives an order, the last general can lead the troops to surrender the weapons of the Zhongshan Army!" Zhu Biao stood up and threw a big bomb.
Yu Ziliang and Yun Han glanced at each other and smiled with satisfaction.
Ji Kun, Ji Feng, Ji Yi, and Ji Heng, these four princes were not ordinarily active in the past few days when Ji Zhao was in a coma and seriously ill. One by one, they shouted vigorously to maintain the friendship between the Northern Han Dynasty and Zhongshan for 500 years, not to be rude, and to treat each other with courtesy. The Zhongshan army can be sent back to Beiping first to calm the grievances in its army. Then he had a cordial conversation with the prince of Zhongshan.
It's all, and I see that my dad is seriously ill. The military situation inside and outside Beiping City is that the East Palace family has the absolute upper hand, and it is true that this person can't sit still.
Let the Zhongshan army return to Beiping, and they will have something to rely on.
Don't talk about this matter if you need to talk about it, and just cut off the sprouts. Zhu Biao's first task to be completed at this conference is like this.
"How can this be reasonable, the concubine is vain!"
Sangong didn't speak, Jiuqing didn't speak, but the Ministry of Rites Shangshu jumped up as if he had been stepped on his tail. This guy was one of the original masters of Ji Kun, Ji Feng, Ji Yi, and Ji Heng, but he was not the prince's master. The Taifu and the Young Master were all served by the important ministers of the court, and the Zhan Mansion of the East Palace was self-contained, he didn't have the patience and no luck at that time, he didn't squeeze in, but became the prince's teacher.
Since the prince's accident, the relationship between the old guy and the four princes has heated up sharply, and now although the four princes are fighting with each other, they have always formed a generalized anti-East Palace alliance, in which the old man has mixed very deeply.
"General Zhu, I've been excited, I've been excited. It doesn't have to come to this point now, it doesn't need to come to this point...... "The drum doesn't need to be hammered hard, Gao Shouxun immediately knew what it meant.
The king of Han woke up intermittently, and after the three dukes officially took over the affairs of the court, the Funing Palace also officially issued an edict of the three dukes in charge of the court, which was regarded as officially establishing the majesty of the three dukes.
But for the matter of the three princes and the important ministers on the table, Ji Zhao stayed in the middle and did not send it.
This seems to indicate that Ji Zhao still believes that he can get better again, but the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, the people and civilians in the capital, everyone has a feeling that a storm is coming.
However, the urgent report from Quzhou at the end of February dealt a blow to the Northern Han court.
Quzhou Thorn History Quick Report, about February 10, the Zhongshan Army began to assemble on a large scale to the border of Quzhou and Muzhou! To this day, there is no way to hide the intention, and on the 24th, the Quzhou Assassin Mansion received an official letter from Zhongshan, asking the Northern Han side to let go of the border pass counties and counties, and 100,000 Zhongshan troops should go north to welcome the prince back to China.
The Great Zhou Dynasty has never been done in 500 years. Is the monarch of Zhongshan going to tear his face? What did King Tang, who was standing behind him, think?
On the same day, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty in the post house went to the Prime Minister's Mansion and asked the Northern Han military to lift the restrictions on the Zhongshan army on the front line and allow the Wanzhong army in Yanzhou, Luozhou, and Hezhou to return to China.
To add insult to injury, on this day, bad news came from the palace again, and the king vomited blood in anger after connecting to the report, and once fainted.
In the political affairs hall of the Prime Minister's Office, the warm spring has arrived, but everyone in the hall feels that the most severe day of the year is coming.
It's not terrible that the enemy is strong, it's the betrayal of a teammate that's terrible, and it's the knife from behind that it's scary.
"These things cannot be made public for the time being." Gao Shouxun was not discussing with everyone, but more like issuing an order, "The advance team sent fast horsemen to the three towns of Yanzhou, Luozhou, and Hezhou day and night, and ordered the general to be on guard in secret." If the Zhongshan army moves, our army will be wiped out immediately!
At the same time, he sent people to ride to Quzhou, Muzhou, and Yuzhou, told the history of the three states, and gathered the people's army and county soldiers of the state and county, and did not give up an inch of land! The Zhongshan thieves dared to enter the country and swore to fight back. ”
Gao Shouxun's attitude surprised Zhu Biao and made him feel excited. He never imagined that at a critical moment, Gao Shouxun, who had always been weak in appearance, would have such courage. Not only did he dare to give orders directly to the important ministers present, but he also dared to take such a tough stance on the Zhongshan Kingdom with the Tang King standing behind him.
You must know that he has always advocated compromise with the Tang Dynasty before, and among the ministers present there is Cai Tingshen, who is also the captain of the military department. Zhu Biao glanced at Cai Tingshen and found that Cai Tingshen did not show any unhappiness, which couldn't help but make him really impressed by Cai Tingshen.
"Xiangguo, if necessary, the last general will lead a light horse to Quzhou overnight. Although the Zhongshan army is heavy, I regard it as a chicken and a dog. Of course, Zhu Biao is reluctant to leave Beiping at this time, but if the Zhongshan army really dares to brave the world's disapproval to march north, then he must go in person and will be able to return triumphantly.
"For the time being, it's not necessary." The green tendons in Gao Shouxun's head had calmed down, but his eyes continued to shine brightly.
Zhongshan does have the posture of tearing its face, but the rules of 500 years do not mean that you dare to destroy it. Dating back to the Great Wei period of the previous dynasty, at the end of the Great Wei Dynasty, the whole world was in turmoil, Zhongshan Guoning adhered to neutrality, and then hooked up with the Zhou army, but did not start a war with the former Xu State, which was loyal to the Great Wei.
At present, the emperor of Shendu is not dead, does the king of Zhongshan really dare to meet the sword soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty?
"The envoy of the king of Tang is not subject to the duties of a minister, and he usurps the internal affairs of the subject country and is expelled from the country. The Ministry of Rites and the Book of Rites? ”
This person was already frightened stupid by Gao Shouxun, and now the spearhead was further pointed at Tang Wang, and he was stunned. He stood up in a daze, his legs trembling, and he forgot to salute.
"Send an envoy to běi jing, reprimand the king of Tang for vain the grace of the saint, and stay for běi jing in vain. Incompetent and rebellious, rebellious and incapable of governing the country, courtiers act in vain ......"
Zhu Biao looked at Gao Shouxun with a new look, and he had now figured out why Gao Shouxun was crazy. It's crazy for the sake of the madness!
At present, the Northern Han has been driven into a desperate situation and cannot take a step back. Take a step back, and Zhongshan will take ten steps forward. Therefore, only madness, hysterical and unreasonable madness, can make Zhongshan stop and make Tang King taboo.
After the heavy loss, the Northern Han could only use this to protect themselves, so as to make the enemies behind them worried.
"Since the three southern states have become battlefields, the three states are the officials of Shi Wenzhi's internal affairs, and I am afraid that they will not be able to deal with it. General Huangfu, you are my Northern Han general, and you were famous in the north in the last war. This also has to be tireless to go to the three states of Qu, Mu, and Yu, inspect the counties and counties, and inspect the military horses of the three states. ”
Huangfu, that is, the general of the town army, Huangfu Jianye. The position is comparable to the general of the Four Expeditions, and Li Huizu was the highest-ranking person in the hundreds of thousands of troops in the Northern Han Dynasty before he conquered the north. Of course, now that Li Huizu is dead, he is still the highest rank in the whole army.
He was over seventy years old, and four years ago, he suffered heavy losses on the battlefield of Jiuyuan, and he could no longer command the army. After returning to the royal capital, he couldn't even take up his post, and he had been recuperating at home for many years.
Huang Fujian did not object to taking a trip to the southern three states, but the Taiwei was present, and he glanced at Cai Tingshen first. Taiwei is in charge of military affairs, his status is the same as that of the prime minister, and he is the highest military position in the whole army, and he is not a subordinate of Gao Shouxun, but Gao Shouxun's tone and the difficult situation of the current Northern Han Dynasty make him unable to refuse. But decades of experience in the court army made him look forward to a trip to the south again, and he had to see Cai Tingshen nodding first.
