When the team stopped to rest, Zhen Zhen called Zhang Chun and assigned him a task: "Go to Yuantai, gather Red Eagle's men in Shangjing, and try to separate the relationship between the three of them, especially the relationship between Sheng Lianli and the emperor, so that the emperor will lose trust in him." Yuantai's rear is unstable, so he has no heart to deal with Daning. Also, send more news back. ”

Zhang Chunying said: "It's a good plan to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, you just wait for our good news." ”

Soon after Zhang Chun left, Zhen Zhen received news from Wenzhou: the Yuantai people blew up a big hole in the stone wall on the border, and the 20,000 yuan Thai cavalry entered Wenzhou through this opening. The 1,000 Daning cavalry stationed in Wenzhou had already pursued in the direction of Shangdu.

Zhen Zhen was shocked by this news, and immediately summoned Feng Qi and the captains of the guards of Li Guo, and asked to rush to Duzhou as soon as possible, and immediately start after joining the army.

The captain of the guard knew that rescuing soldiers was like fighting a fire, so he immediately divided the people and horses into three parts, one person and three horses escorted Zhen Zhen to Duzhou first, and the rest of the people advanced on foot, ready to answer at any time.

Feng Qi persuaded Zhen Zhen to be relieved: "The road from Wenzhou to Shangdu is not a flat river, there are rivers, mountains, and there will be soldiers and horses from Yuezhou and Huzhou in the middle. Moreover, the daily consumption of 20,000 horses is a large amount, and the key is that there is no way to change horses halfway, and it is impossible for the Yuantai people to easily attack the city of Shangdu. ”

Zhen Zhen asked, "What about the day and night journey?" How many days can you get from Wenzhou to Shangdu? ”

Feng Qi said: "The official document from Wenzhou to Shangdu, it usually takes five days for a fast horse. ”

Zhen Zhen said: "Then even if the Yuantai cavalry needs all kinds of supplies and rest as you said, then ten days is enough to reach Shangdu." Even if it is difficult to reach all of them, then a small number of vanguard troops should be able to do it, right? ”

Feng Qi said: "Even if the 20,000 cavalry arrive at the city of Shangdu, without artillery and siege equipment, they will not be able to enter the city gate." ”

Zhen Zhen said: "If you are afraid, you are afraid of the internal traitor, and the inside and the outside should be together, then it will be troublesome." It's been three days since the news from Wenzhou arrived here, and we must speed up! ”

After setting the itinerary, the group hurried overnight and arrived at the military camp outside Duzhou two days later. General Duzhou, surnamed Gu Mingyuan, was around thirty years old, and seriously picked up the tiger talisman given by Zhen Zhen and his own tiger talisman together, and put them together, so he spoke: "Miss Zhen, I have already received the holy decree from Your Majesty in eight hundred miles, and 50,000 horses have been ordered, ready to be dispatched at any time." ”

"Great! Will it start early tomorrow morning? Zhen Zhen has been a little anxious in the past two days.

"But at Miss's orders." Gu Yuan replied very simply, "However, there is a matter of lowly duties, and I still ask the young lady to consider it." ”

"General, please." Zhen Zhen was worried about an accident, no, an accident came.

"It is a gratifying thing that Miss is the future crown princess of Ningguo. But if you use this capacity to lead my Dali soldiers, I'm afraid it's inappropriate. Gu Yuan Dao.

Isn't that the spirit of great internationalism?

"What's wrong?" Zhen Zhen asked patiently.

Gu Yuan said: "The truth of rejecting the enemy outside the country, lowly is known, but the soldiers below are rough people, they don't care about things that don't happen in front of them, and they don't know the ins and outs." I'm afraid that the soldiers feel that they are fighting for Daning and refuse to contribute, and when the time comes, it will ruin Miss's big thing. ”

How to explain "internationalism" to these ancients? Let's listen to their conditions, this Gu Yuan will not dare to resist the decree, right?

Zhen Zhen said: "Dare to ask the general, what should I do?" ”

Gu Yuan said: "If Miss doesn't mind, I have an idea." It's Miss Grievance. ”

Zhen Zhen said: "What grievances are not wronged, as long as it can be beneficial to the overall situation, I don't care." General, please speak up. ”

Gu Yuan said: "Miss, you might as well become a native of our Li country first." Naturally, the family does not speak two words. ”

Zhen Zhen was puzzled: "I was born in Daning, how can I become a native of Li Guo?" ”

Gu Yuan said: "Miss can become the national teacher of Li State, isn't this a Li Guo person?" ”

"National teacher?" Zhen Zhen was even more puzzled, could it be that such a thing as worshipping the national teacher in Li Country was decided by a general on the frontier?

"Miss, don't blame, I have asked the emperor for a decree to worship Miss as my national teacher. The emperor has already issued an order to agree. Now it's up to the lady to mean it. ”

Zhen Zhen sneered in his heart, it turned out that he was acting on orders, and he said it so high-soundingly, this Wu Xi is too, doesn't he just want to tie the interests of the future queen of Ning Guo and Li Guo more closely. Let's put it bluntly, there are so many gimmicks.

However, Zhen Zhen also understood that whether she wanted to or not, Wu Xi just wanted to use this opportunity to make her have to agree, and she really had no better choice.

Could she give up the 50,000 soldiers and horses "in one go"? Impossible.

From the perspective of the Emperor of the Li State, there is nothing wrong with proceeding from the interests of the Li State. Who let now Daning have a request for the country of Li?

Zhen Zhen pulled a smile on his face and said, "Such a good thing, the general should tell me about it as good news." How can you say that you have wronged me? ”

Gu Yuan said: "Thank you Miss for your understanding!" Zhen Zhen takes the order! ”

Zhen Zhen and the others knelt down as they said.

Gu Yuan opened the holy decree and read aloud: "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says: Zhen Zhen, the successor of the psychology school, is noble, erudite and wise, and has the world in mind, and he is worthy of a great responsibility. I hereby grant him the title of Dali National Teacher, the heir of the Pope, and the common people. Chin this! ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Zhen Zhen thanked him and took the holy decree.

Gu Yuan's task was completed, and his joy was overflowing: "The national teacher is above, and we will be a family in the future." ”

"Please also ask the general for more advice."

"I don't dare to give advice. However, I want to ask the national teacher, how to use the 50,000 soldiers and horses? Gu Yuan Dao.

"I want to go straight to Shangdu and relieve the siege of Shangdu." Zhen Zhen said, "However, I am a layman when it comes to marching and fighting, and I still rely on the general." ”

"Then you're welcome. What is the purpose of this campaign? ”

"Defeat the Yuantai people and save Daning from fire and water."

"What is the situation in Daning now?"

"The Yuantai cavalry has attacked Daning and taken Shangdu directly." Zhen Zhen immediately said the military report he received in the past two days.

"Does the national teacher think that even if we send troops now, can we catch the Shangyuantai cavalry?" Gu Yuan asked.

"This ......" This is actually a problem that Zhen Zhen has been calculating for the past few days, it must be too late to intercept the Yuantai cavalry, and her eyes immediately turned a little red: "It's better to save that night than not to save it." ”

Gu Yuan's expression became more and more serious, and he said, "Has the national teacher considered that the Yuantai cavalry still has backup?" Yuantai people rode horses, I waited on foot, hard to catch up for a few days, it was the time of exhaustion, in case of Yuantai's backup, that is not a sheep into the tiger's mouth? Yuantai's cavalry is just the vanguard, and the army behind is probably their real purpose at this time. 166 Reading Network
