Chapter 228: Xianbei's Scheme
Emperor Xianbei sat on it, listened carefully to Hua Lei's experience in Shuozhou City, his eyebrows wrinkled deeper and deeper, and asked rhetorically: "You mean that Zhao Yu was not injured at all?"
"I shouldn't be injured...... Hua Lei's words made Emperor Xianbei furious, slapped the table hard, and his anger leaked out: "What did you say to me before leaving?"
"Weichen deserves to die, Weichen misjudged, and ask the emperor to surrender!" Hua Lei hurriedly knelt down, but he refused to admit defeat: "Dayan has troops allocated in Daliang, and Weichen believes that as long as we ......"
"Da Liang has already made peace with Dayan, and Da Liang has promised to attack Xianbei with Dayan's troops, after knowing this, how confident do you still have?" Every time the emperor said a word, Hua Lei's confidence decreased by one point, and in the end he didn't know how to answer, after all, if he said something wrong, he would lose his head.
"Does it mean that you don't have confidence?" The anger was already very strong, Hua Lei had to keep kowtowing and pleading guilty: "It's not a pity for Weichen to die, but I'm afraid that I will miss my Xianbei country." ”
Hua Lei is not a person who is greedy for merit, on the contrary, he is a person who is too calm. After seeing Zhao Yu's performance and hearing the news of Da Liang and Da Yan's joint forces, what he could do was to let himself get out of this war, he did not have the status of the sixth prince Yuantian, he relied on the military merits of winning the battle, if he knew that there was no chance of winning this battle, it was better to get out as soon as possible.
"If I say I want to try it in person, what if I have a trick with that Zhao Yu?" Emperor Xianbei is not confused, this is definitely the prime of life in modern times, and it is not a small age in ancient times, so Hua Lei kowtowed again and again: "The emperor is the son of heaven, there is no room for mistakes, and the emperor is really not suitable to go to the battlefield in person." ”
"According to what you mean, I'm going to let him go with Dayan?" Emperor Xianbei's anger seemed to have disappeared a little, and Hua Lei hurriedly answered: "Your Majesty, my Princess Xianbei married Emperor Dayan, Xianbei and Dayan are a family, and no one has let anyone say it seriously." ”
"The suffering of my princess in the harem of Dayan, my anger has not yet come out for her. ”
The emperor said this to mean that there is still hope for peace talks, and Hua Lei breathed a sigh of relief: "Although Weichen doesn't know much about the princess, Emperor Dayan once said to Weichen that the person who poisoned him has already been punished, and it is definitely not what the princess said in the letter." ”
"Then Zhao Yu really said that?"
"There is no lie, I think he will not lie to the ministers if he is a king. ”
Emperor Xianbei pondered lightly, and said a little tiredly: "You have come all the way from Shuozhou City, and you have worked hard, so go back first." ”
Hua Lei thanked him and left, while the emperor said softly: "Sixth brother, come out." ”
The sixth prince, Yuan Tian, was in the inner room all the time, and all the conversations were heard.
"What do you think?" The emperor didn't have any nonsense, he went straight to the point, and Yuan Tian replied: "According to the courtiers, this Hua Lei is really scared, he is a battle-hardened person, and he can bluff him, so Zhao Yu is either really terrible, or his acting skills are very high." ”
"Which is more likely?" The emperor recalled Hua Lei's performance just now, and his expression revealed dissatisfaction.
"Brother Chen didn't go to Shuozhou City, so I really can't tell, but the results of the two possibilities are too destructive and attractive for us. The emperor nodded, motioned for him to continue, he said softly: "The fact that Zhao Yu was injured is beyond doubt, except for Hua Lei, the soldiers who fled and came back can testify, and Hua Lei came back and said that Zhao Yu was in good health, as the courtier just said, there are only two possibilities, one is Zhao Yu's own physical fitness or the doctor's excellent medical skills, and the arrow wound quickly improved, in this case, if we send troops easily, I am afraid that we will face not only Zhao Yu on the battlefield who has means and ruthlessness, The same wise general Zhengliang, as well as the Yanliang army, is afraid that we Xianbei will really not be able to withstand it when the time comes, which is why Hua Lei repeatedly shirked and did not dare to lead the troops; however, there is a second possibility, that is, Zhao Yu's ease in front of Hua Lei is all acted, he has many arrows in his body, it is impossible to recover in three or five days, and the consequences of this possibility are no better for us......"
"I don't dare to know if Zhao Yu is acting, Yan Liang's joint army is something that has been written into their agreement, and this can't be changed. The emperor was a little frustrated when he said this, Yuan Tian shook his head: "Your Majesty, your words are just the opposite, if those Liang soldiers find out that Zhao Yu is a useless sick man, as long as we send someone to meet with the general of Daliang, knowing the benefits, it is a common thing to fight against water on the battlefield, and the Liang people have just been defeated by the Dayan people, they are angry with the Dayan people, how can they really help them?"
"In addition, Dayan defeated Xianbei, even if he wants to win the first or second cities of Xianbei, they will all belong to Dayan, Daliang and Xianbei are not bordering, they can't get any benefits, how can they fight hard?"
It can't be said that Yuantian's words made the emperor's mind lively, but he was still calm and asked in a deep voice: "Which of the two possibilities is greater?"
"Those who have been hit by multiple arrows and can be cured in three or five days will not exist in this world, and naturally the latter is more likely. When Yuan Tian said this, there was a bright light in his eyes, and the emperor was dyed by his emotions, and there was irrepressible excitement in his voice: "If I let your brother lead the troops, can you have confidence?"
"The emperor values it, and the younger brother naturally goes to the soup and fights, and he will not hesitate to do it!" A smile hung on the corner of Yuan Tian's mouth, he trusted his judgment too much.
And in the main hall of Shuozhou City, Han Zhong was still waiting for news from his master, and he even slapped himself, wanting to atone for his sins.
"Doctor, how is the emperor's health?" The moment he saw the doctor, Han Zhong rushed up in a hurry, the doctor was almost bumped by him, frowned, and wanted to be rude, but when he saw that it was Han Zhong, he could only swallow those words: "The emperor is fine." ”
"You're not lying to General Ben, are you?" Thinking of the shocking scene just now, Han Zhong had to be suspicious, and the doctor didn't seem to be in the mood to deal with him, and replied a little arrogantly: "If General Han doesn't believe it, you can ask the emperor in person." ”
"You're just a doctor, you dare to talk to General Ben like this, don't you want to die?" Han Zhong is a big old man who doesn't care about anything else, and if he dares to be rude to him, he will definitely be unreasonable.
But the doctor's mood today is really not good, he was not afraid when he heard his words, but spoke very arrogantly: "If General Han doesn't like the villain, there is nothing for you to give your life, but it depends on the emperor's intentions." ”
This doctor has also been under too much pressure recently, and he would never dare to say such things to a person with a sword in normal times.
"You...... You're good, you're good......" Poor Han Zhong's mouth is still not slippery, he will only use force to solve everything, and now he has met an opponent: "What is your name?"
"The villain Bian Que, the name just given by the emperor. The doctor is also a wonder, Han Zhong decided not to block himself, and waved his hand: "Hurry up, General Ben will be annoyed when he looks at you." ”
As if someone was not bothered to look at you, the doctor rolled his eyes silently.
And on Yecheng's side, Lu Qingxin received a secret letter that the emperor was in poor health, he was a captain, and it was incumbent on him to fight, but if he left Yecheng at this time, he was afraid that something would happen.
signed a peace treaty with Da Liang, and Da Liang also promised to send troops to attack Xianbei together, the emperor is in urgent need of manpower, who should be sent, there is no time to hesitate now.
"Go and ask General Wei Daocheng and General Zhang Zilang to come here. "Zhang Zilang had been in Shuozhou City, and Wei Daocheng learned when he was young that he was a malleable talent, and the two of them won the beam together, and there was a tacit understanding, there is no more suitable person than them at the moment.
Zhang Zilang and Wei Daocheng came to the Taiwei Mansion before and after, and when the two of them wanted to see each other, they didn't need Lu Qingxin to say anything, they already knew what Lu Qingxin meant.
"Shuozhou City is personally commanded by the emperor, so there's no need for me to go, right?" Ah Cheng spoke first, he was only twelve years old, and his picturesque appearance made it almost impossible to associate him with killing.
Wei Daocheng and Lu Qingxin's son are about the same age, but they often make Lu Qingxin stunned. He can be called "the young man of the country", and he will definitely be written in history in a hundred years, but I am afraid that his three words Lu Qingxin will lose a lot of color next to him at that time.
It can be said that Lu Qingxin has never dared to underestimate Wei Daocheng, but what he just said made him feel a sense of satisfaction.
It's like a person who has always scored 100 points on exams, and over time, you will deify him, and one day he scored 99 points, which makes you realize that he is still an ordinary person.
And Ah Cheng's words just now gave Lu Qingxin that feeling.
"Naturally, it would have been better to end the battle earlier. Lu Qingxin did not inform the emperor's body about it, he was used to being cautious, although he also believed in the two people in front of him, but some risks could be avoided, which was his consistent creed.
Zhang Zilang was also puzzled, after all, the matter on Daliang's side had just ended two days, and he was about to go to Shuozhou City, which was too abrupt, so he was summoned overnight, but Lu Qingxin had already answered like that, and if he asked again, it would be a little uninteresting.
The three of them discussed the details of the march, and when they were about to discuss it, it was already dawn, and it was actually night.
Wei Daocheng and Zhang Zilang led their troops to Shuozhou City first, while Lu Qingxin went to Daliang to repair the book, and Daliang's army was afraid that it would arrive in a few days.
Han Zhong has been paying attention to the emperor's body for the past two days, but the emperor has never summoned him, and he waited for Lu Qingxin's letter, he and Zhang Zilang still have some friendship, but that Wei Daocheng is very familiar, but he can't remember which one.
"Eh, do you know Wei Daocheng?" he casually grabbed a little soldier and asked, who knew that the little star on the face of the little soldier, that expression made Han Zhong goosebumps for a while: "Look at your expression, then Wei Daocheng is not a girl, right?"
"How can General Han talk like this, General Nawei is the person I respect the most, he is only twelve years old, but he can lead thousands of soldiers to beat that Daliang to cry and cry his mother, this time he and General Zhang Zilang beat Mengzhou back, and forced Daliang to sign a peace treaty......"
The little soldier talked endlessly, Han Zhong understood it all after listening to two sentences, but he still didn't think so: no wonder it sounded so familiar, it turned out to be a little broken child who won the battle.
Han Zhong didn't take Ah Cheng in his eyes, he cared more about Zhang Zilang.
Zhang Zilang and Ah Cheng arrived five days later, and Zhao Yu went out of the dormitory for the first time that day to greet them in person.
The four of them talked very happily until the third day, Zhao Yu called Zhang Zilang into his bedroom, and the two talked for a long time, and that night, Zhao Yu secretly left Shuozhou City in a carriage, and no one knew about this matter except Zhang Zilang.
