Chapter 001: Night Conspiracy

Next Chapter

As the twilight fell, he fell behind the mountain of Suppression. In the early winter, the dark shadows of the mountains are building, the cold wind of Shuobei whimpering, the mountains and trees are scattered, and the dead branches are dancing in the wind, and the sound is like a ghost.

On the north side of the foothills is the Sonian River, and further north is the place where the Turk enemy army gathered. The army of Dachen was stationed on the south bank of the Suonian River, and was deployed with the word "Pin" against the Suoshan Mountain.

In early winter, the Suonian River was already in a dry season, and the riverbed had shrunk by half, which made the moat between Dachen and Tulun suddenly become less insurmountable. On the north and south banks, the elite divisions of Dachen and Tulun can almost see the cold light of the opponent's blades and iron armor when they are facing each other, but neither army on either side comes out of the battle, and the grand and murderous silence looks very strange in the bleak wind and cold moon of the winter night.

The night was covered like an inky blue canvas, and the coloring was the thickest, and a person wearing a night suit quickly entered the camp outside. All the way around the hundreds of camps lit up by the second time, he easily found the Chinese military tent disguised in it, and after taking a light face to face with the colonel outside the tent, he opened the curtain and entered the tent.

It wasn't until he took off his black mask to see his face clearly that he realized that the person who came was actually a young man with an extremely handsome face, and he leaned over at the middle-aged man who was sitting on the main seat in silver armor, and called urgently: "Father! He turned around and bowed respectfully to the white-bearded old man dressed as a guest scribe: "Mr. Fei! ”

The middle-aged man frowned and asked urgently, "Xuan'er?" How did you get back? He ...... the king."

"Uncle Wang......"

"Nonsense! Call Your Highness! Wei Jinglin snapped.

Wei Chengxuan hurriedly responded: "Yes, His Royal Highness asked me to go back to the right-wing camp to assist my father." He knew that Guyundu was the key point of this battle, and the main force would march from Guyundu, and the right flank of our army was the key to defense, and his father needed more help......"

Wei Jinglin stood up suddenly, and said with a little impatience due to concern: "Xuan'er, why don't you explain it to the king!" After saying that, he glanced at the white-bearded old man and said, "I have my own arrangements with Fei Lao for the method of confrontation, but he is different. Didn't he know what Li Chongwei was trying to bring him here? ”

Dachen was originally the third son of Emperor Mingzong and the second son of Empress Ciqing. Emperor Mingzong's favorite eldest son and Empress Ciqing died in an epidemic twenty years ago, and the throne was inherited by the second son after Mingzong's death.

King Zhu is the first prince of the first emperor, who is humble and kind, and is respected by the Son of Heaven.

After the Son of Heaven favored Li Zhaorong, his actions became more and more absurd, not only did he not ask about court affairs for a month, but even military affairs were handed over to Li Zhaorong's brother Li Chongwei.

There are many cases of arrogance and transgression, there are many complaints from top to bottom, and several forces are also secretly ready to move. King Lin has made many mistakes, but he was blocked by Li's ears and eyes and could not reach the heavens. On the contrary, the Li sisters and brothers were more jealous of the king, and spared no effort to stir up trouble in front of the Son of Heaven. Last month, the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses of the king was taken away and demoted to the west road marching army to stay, and the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses of the west road was temporarily led by Wei Jinglin.

Wei Chengxuan took a few steps forward and helped his father to sit down at the table, while carrying a pot to fill two cups of tea, one cup was placed in front of his father, and he held another fine porcelain tea cup and drank it all, Fang Shen said to his father:

"Father, His Royal Highness King Lin has entrusted me to convey something to you - this time, he has gathered a heavy army to the north to resist Tulun, and he has deliberately planned to transfer back to our Western Route Army from Huaiyuan, and His Royal Highness King Li, who is bound to march and stay behind, will come here, there will be a conspiracy."

Speaking of which, the three of them are like mirrors in their hearts.

Dachen's border defense focus is in the west and southwest, and these two places have been plagued by disasters all year round, thanks to the Huaiyuan army's guards, so they can be peaceful. Located in the northwest of Tulun has a heavy army gathered, there is no need for His Royal Highness King and Father Marshal to lead the troops to come, because the Huaiyuan army in addition to defending Tulun, but also shouldering the heavy responsibility of controlling Tuxi Law to the west, this time the Huaiyuan army led by the two of them is actually very risky to transfer all the Huaiyuan army under the command of the two to the Tulun front.

After a moment of silence, Wei Chengxuan put the tea cup in his hand on the table, turned his gaze to defend Jinglin to Fei Minghe, and said in a low voice:

"The one that Li Chongwei is trying to do is nothing more than two, one is to move the tiger away from the mountain, take the opportunity to seize the right to be the commander of the Huaiyuan West Road garrison, and send new people to take over the remaining garrison. Before the army was pulled out, King Lin had sent the garrison of the south road to contact his uncle to keep an eye on it, and secretly controlled the garrison left behind in case there was a change. ”

"Moreover, Li Chongwei was far away on the front line in northern Xinjiang, arranging for people to convey orders to Beijing and then to the western front to seize power. According to the news received by His Royal Highness King Li, there is no change in the garrison of the West Road and the henchmen of Li Chongwei Jingzhong. ”

"The second is to use this war to find a trap, or ......"

Wei Chengxuan was young after all, and he couldn't help but be angry when he said that people's hearts were sinister and vicious, and he smashed his fist on the desk, and the fine porcelain white cup jumped up and rolled down from the table, shattering to the ground.

Seeing this, Wei Jinglin had roughly guessed what King Lin was worried about, and the hands on his knees gradually clenched into fists.

But seeing Fei Minghe frowning slightly, he slowly got up and walked to the messy place of the broken porcelain, squatting down and carefully picking up the broken porcelain on the ground, while taking Wei Chengxuan's words, Mansheng said:

Or when the two armies are facing each other, create a heroic story of the king's death for the country, and justifiably get rid of their opponents in the court. Or, it is the marshal and the young marshal who leads the soldiers to fight instead of the king, whether it is the king of Luo Zhilin who disobeys the order after the victory, or the king who is blamed for supporting the army without fighting after the defeat, hum ......"

Fei Minghe sneered, got up and spilled the broken porcelain on the case, and the Wei father and son looked stunned when they heard this.

Fei Minghe sat down again and said in a deep voice:

"The old man guessed that even if the young marshal went to the left flank to support today, he would fall into the pretext of not listening to moderation and thinking about changes on the spot, and participating in the imperial front can be a light or serious crime. Just looking at this time, the emperor awarded the commander seal of the middle army to Li Chongwei, but put the king who has always respected and trusted him in the least important left wing army, which shows that the emperor's suspicion of the king is not what we usually speculate. ”

After listening to the words, Wei Chengxuan's expression was gloomy, and he lost his heroic spirit, and lowered his head and sighed lightly: "His Royal Highness the King asked me to convey what he said, that's it. ”

At this time, Fei Minghe smiled slightly, raised his arm slightly and said:

"The marshal, the young marshal and the peace of mind, fortunately, His Royal Highness the king's tent is the farthest away from the Guyun Ferry, and the threat from the enemy army is small. As for the difficulties of Li Chongwei, as long as His Royal Highness is quiet, makes a posture of obeying the dispatch, and does not leave a handle for Li Chongwei, he will be safe for the time being. ”
