Chapter 409: Tough Attitude
Remember [69 Chinese Network] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Ling Changzhi has never disappointed.
Under his rectification, the Yugoslav army finally took on a new look, reshaped its military appearance, came out of the shadow of defeat, and restored its morale.
With the strength of a battle, Ling Changzhi asked for an order to go out of the city to fight.
You can't let the anti-thief be so arrogant, you must kill the arrogance of the anti-thief.
Taining Emperor Xiao Chengyi was very hesitant.
"Isn't it good to defend the city? The thief will definitely not be able to get in. Fight out of the city, the outcome is unpredictable! ”
Ling Changzhi said loudly: "Your Majesty Mingjian! The thieves have been arrogant under the walls for almost a month. If you don't go out of the city to fight, it will hurt morale! Everyone thinks that the southern army has been crippled and has no strength to fight, and everyone is counting on the rescue of soldiers and horses in Yuzhou, and the grain support in Jingcang.
If this continues, Weichen thought that something unspeakable might happen. Only by letting the southern army go out of the city to meet the battle, showing the determination of the imperial court, can we give all the people in the capital strong confidence. Even, you can take the opportunity to suppress the two and stabilize prices! Wechen implored His Majesty to put the overall situation first and allow the minister to lead the army to fight! ”
Taining Emperor Xiao Chengyi still hesitated.
"Going out of the city to fight, in case of defeat, wouldn't it be even more demoralizing?"
"But if you win, it will boost morale. Even if you don't win, if you can play a draw, it's a victory. ”
"You make me think again!"
"Your Majesty, time is not waiting. Please make a decision as soon as possible! ”
Ling Changzhi raised his voice suddenly, and the appearance of not giving up until he achieved his goal made Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi a little panicked.
What is this?
Persecuting the emperor?
Taining Emperor Xiao Chengyi was dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to show it.
Nowadays, there are not many people he can rely on and trust.
Ling Changzhi's performance over the years is obvious to all.
He can't chill the hearts of his courtiers at this time.
So, he asked, "Is Ling Aiqing sure to win?" If I am not sure, I think that this matter needs to be considered in the long run. For example, local generals and other local generals, as well as Yuzhou soldiers and horses galloping to help, are all two sides cooperating to fight the anti-thief, which is more certain. ”
"Your Majesty, in a war, the victory or defeat is always five or five points. There is no such thing as a 100% certainty of victory. ”
Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi said weakly: "But the Northern Army used to win 100% of the battles. ”
Ling Changzhi said loudly: "Therefore, as soon as the northern army is defeated, the whole army will be annihilated, and there will not even be a chance to regroup. Accustomed to fighting with the wind, once defeated, the consequences will only be more serious than those of other troops.
The other troops, at worst, still have the experience of defeating battles, and they know how to deal with them after defeating battles in order to reduce losses. The Northern Army, because it is used to winning battles, will only fight to the death.
The Northern Army, which the imperial court spent countless amounts of money and grain to raise every year, was defeated like this.
Therefore, Your Majesty does not have to worry about the defeat of the Southern Army. Even if he loses, Wechen has a way to recover his losses and regroup! It will never be like General Xue Xue, who will only fight to the death. ”
Xue Xue was originally the deputy general of the Northern Army, and later succeeded Xiao Yi as the general of the Southern Army.
Xue Xue's military experience and fighting style completely copied the Northern Army.
The advantage is to fight bravely!
The downside is that in the event of defeat, the consequences are extremely severe.
Fighting to the death is not always a good thing!
To fight a war, you also need to be flexible and flexible, rather than blindly fighting to the death!
Everyone can see that Ling Changzhi's attitude is very tough.
I will not give up until I achieve my goal!
It is already obvious that persecution is being made.
The palace people were dumbfounded.
The other courtiers looked at the nose and nose and did not open their mouths to refute.
No one even stood up to scold Ling Changzhi.
Among the young and middle-aged officials, Ling Changzhi is obviously a leading figure.
In another decade or two, it is no surprise that he will be the prime minister of the imperial court, and he will decide life and death with one word, and life and death with one word.
Taining Emperor Xiao Chengyi's hands were shrouded in sleeves.
No one knew, his hands were clenched on the armrests of the dragon chair, his muscles were bruised, but his face was still calm.
He was angry and should be angry.
But, at the same time, he was also afraid.
Things seem to be spiraling out of control.
As the emperor, he already felt that his control over the court was gradually being weakened.
Last year, some officials forced the palace to spread rumors that he was a lone star and was harming the Great Wei court.
That matter seems to have been resolved.
The officials involved have all been executed.
But......
The impact of that event is still there!
I'm afraid that now there are more courtiers who have already decided in their hearts that he is a lone star and a scourge of the Great Wei River!
He doesn't deserve to sit on a dragon chair!
Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi's face was pale, and his body had begun to sweat.
Luo Xiaonian was in a hurry, so he could only ask softly, "Is Your Majesty unwell?" ”
As soon as the emperor nodded and said that he was not feeling well, he risked being beaten to death by the courtiers and announced his resignation.
However, the emperor did not respond to him.
Instead, he said: "Ling Aiqing really thinks that he must send troops to meet the battle? Can't you do it without a fight? ”
Ling Changzhi said loudly: "Yes! The Southern Army had to go out of the city to meet the battle and beat the morale. ”
"In case you lose......"
"The minister is ready for defeat! Of course, the minister will try to win the battle and give His Majesty good news. ”
Taining Emperor Xiao Chengyi took a deep breath, "That'...... Ling Aiqing makes up her own mind! You are a man who knows the soldiers, and you must think more than I do! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty! The minister will not disappoint His Majesty! ”
Ling Changzhi received the order and led the army to prepare for war.
……
One evening, when the thieves were burying the pot and cooking, the city gate was opened, and the southern army was dispatched to beat the thieves by surprise.
After a day of shouting and killing, the thieves who were already exhausted and waiting for the meal were suddenly attacked, and the camp was in chaos.
The cavalry of the Southern Army directly entered the anti-thief camp and set fire to kill people, aiming directly at the anti-thief grain and grass!
A human head flew high.
Dozens of black-clothed masked people took advantage of the chaos to retreat.
And shouted, "Sima Dou is dead!" Sima Dou is dead! ”
The shouts spread farther and farther and more into the ears of more people.
The anti-thief army was in turmoil.
A scuffle began.
……
The fire burned for a whole day and a night!
The thieves finally retreated and camped fifty miles away.
The Southern Army retreated into the capital!
Outside the walls of the capital, stumps and severed arms, smoke and dust, and blood-soaked land.
It's a win!
An unexpected victory.
Ling Changzhi was covered in smoke and dust, and he didn't have time to clean his face, so he summoned his subordinates.
He wanted to figure out what had happened last night.
Sima Dou is dead, is this really true?
"It seems that someone took advantage of the chaos to kill the anti-thief Chinese army and took the head of Sima Douxiang."
"Is it confirmed? Is it really Sima Dou who died? ”
"Not confirmed yet! There was a fire last night, and many of the bodies were already burned beyond recognition. ”
"Hurry up and send someone to confirm!"
"No!"
"The group of black-clothed masked men who entered the Chinese army last night, was it arranged by adults?"
"Of course it wasn't arranged by the official."
Ling Changzhi was still confused, wondering where the black-clothed masked man who suddenly killed was sacred, and the timing was so accurate.
The greatest possible ......
He already had a suspicion in his mind, but he still needed to verify it.
What he cares about most now, is Sima Dou dead?
Of course, the man in black creates chaos and causes a rebellion against thieves, which is the key to victory.
He took off his armor, washed and changed his clothes, and did not rush to the palace to restore his life, but went to the Dongping palace in disguise.
Knock on the door of the Dongping Palace.
"This official wants to see your prince!"
The concierge of Dongping Palace: "The eldest prince, please come in!" ”
This is a rare guest in the palace!
Without notification, the porter welcomed people into the mansion with great enthusiasm, and then went to inform Xiao Guo, the king of Dongping.
The two cousins met in the study.
Xiao Guo arched his hand, "Congratulations on defeating the thieves and relieving the siege of the capital!" From now on, no one should oppose you commanding your troops! ”
Ling Changzhi didn't seem to attach importance to this victory, "The anti-thief is only temporarily retreating, and sooner or later he will make a comeback." ”
Hundreds of thousands of anti-thieves cannot be solved by one night and one fire.
"I want to see Xiao Yat! You let him come out to me! ”
Dongping Wang Xiao Guo was obviously stunned, "You want to see the sixth child?" The sixth child is not in the house. ”
Ling Changzhi said: "If you contact him, just say that I want to see him, as soon as possible." ”
Xiao Guo hurriedly said, "But I can't contact him now." I don't know where he is right now. Some time ago, the fourth girl from the Zhuyang County Lord's Mansion also asked me to contact the sixth child, but there has been no news for such a long time. I suspect that he has long since left the capital. ”
Ling Changzhi frowned, "You can't even contact him?" ”
Xiao Guo smiled bitterly, "Nominally, he is a member of the palace and the brother of this king. However, his affairs, this king can't manage and can't manage it. He won't let people meddle in his affairs either.
Let's put it this way, he just put a name on the palace just to get his identity back. In addition, in all aspects, he is clearly separated from the palace. Last time, I said to give him a monthly bill of silver and a shop, but he didn't ask for it. I'm troubled! ”
Ling Changzhi thought for a while and asked, "Yan Yunge asked you to contact him, did you say what it was for?" ”
Xiao Guo thought for a while, "I remember, she asked someone to bring a letter, just when the thieves besieged Qi County, and Fugui Villa was in danger. As expected, it should be for the sake of Nirvana Villa that he will take the initiative to contact the sixth child. But I haven't been able to get in touch with the sixth child. ”
Ling Changzhi didn't give up, "I remember that there is a Mr. Ji next to Xiao Yi, what about others?" ”
Xiao Guo hurriedly said: "Mr. Ji is not in the palace either!" Since Mr. Ji followed the sixth child, unless the sixth child came to the palace, he never took the initiative to come to the door! ”
Ling Changzhi: "......"
MMP, where the hell is Xiao Yat hiding?
Such a big living person, I couldn't find it after looking for so long.
Xiao Guo pondered for a moment, lowered his voice and said, "Maybe Prince Ping knows the whereabouts of the sixth child." ”
"How?"
Xiao Guo smiled awkwardly, and then said: "The sixth Prince Peace is the brother-in-law, and the marriage of the sixth Prince Ping was also decided by Prince Ping." The two of them don't seem to have much to do on the surface. Maybe they've been in a relationship all the time. Otherwise, Prince Ping has no reason to help the sixth child enter the palace to ask for a decree! ”
Ling Changzhi hesitated!
He didn't want to deal with Prince Xiao Chengwen of Peace.
That's a tough guy to deal with.
Moreover, if things are as Xiao Guo said, the relationship between Xiao Yat and Prince Ping will only be more complicated than people think.
