Chapter 123: Northwest Barbarians
Xue Rou got up and walked in front of Yuan Junfeng, picked up the leaf, looked up at the man with a sad face, and said with a smile, "Then we'll stay!" ”
She stood up and gently smoothed Yuan Junfeng's tightly knit brow with her hand, "I said, we won't go to live our days until everything is settled, now is the time when the emperor needs you, you can't just leave!" So let's stay! ”
Yuan Junfeng stretched out his hand to hug Xue Rou, "Thank you Rou'er." Xue Rou smiled and left his embrace, "You go to the palace to see the emperor's situation." ”
Holding her hand, Yuan Junfeng said, "You go with me." Xue Rou thought about it for a while and refused, "I didn't want to go as soon as I came back, and to be honest, I don't like to meet the emperor very much." Go ahead, but you have to be safe and come back early! ”
Yuan Junfeng happily listened to her nagging instructions, stood up and encircled her in his arms, and when she finished speaking, leaned over and pasted the soft pink lips.
"Hmm!" Xue Rou longed to retreat, Yuan Junfeng wrapped one hand around her waist to prevent her from escaping, and put the other hand on her head, so that she could not escape from her closeness,
Xue Rou saw that she couldn't let go, so she thought that since she couldn't refuse, she would enjoy it, and raised her hand to wrap around his neck.
rode a horse to the gate of the palace, and the guards outside the gate saw that he got off the horse and came here, so he saluted, "General Yuan, the key is going to be issued in this palace!" Are you in a hurry? ”
Yuan Junfeng glanced at the two of them and said, "There's nothing urgent, just to see how the emperor's body is!" After saying that, he walked forward, but his ears kept listening to the sound behind him, and after turning a corner, he leaped to the city wall.
Sure enough, when he saw that one of the guards at the gate had gone elsewhere, Yuan Junfeng had a plan in his heart, so he jumped off the wall and went to the emperor's bedroom.
Sanfu was by the emperor's side, and a little eunuch came in, "Your Majesty, General Yuan asks to see you." ”
The emperor immediately said, "Spread quickly!" As soon as he finished speaking, he said, "Slow! The emperor looked at Sanfu and said, "You go first to see what he is here for, every time he asks to see me, he is resigned, if she also resigns this time, there is no need to see him, tell him to go back!" ”
Sanfu said to the emperor in astonishment, "Your Majesty, is this so good?" Now is the time when we need General Yuan, if we let General Yuan go back, then we ......"
The emperor said angrily to Sanfu, "People are bent on resigning, even if I force him to stay, he won't really help me, you go!" ”
Sanfu went outside to see Yuan Junfeng with a helpless face and asked, "General Yuan, it's almost dark these days, why do you enter the palace now!" Is there something urgent? ”
Yuan Junfeng said, "I heard that the emperor is sick, and I came to visit the emperor!" ”
When Sanfu heard this, he smiled and said, "Then the general is coming with the old slave!" Don't let the emperor wait! The emperor really talked about the general, and the general came! ”
The emperor watched Sanfu and Yuan Junfeng come in together, put down the medicine he was drinking, and saw that Yuan Junfeng was about to salute, so he hurriedly said, "Excuse me!" Sit. ”
Yuan Junfeng raised his eyebrows, "Thank you to the emperor, I heard that the emperor was poisoned, but I can find out who did it." ”
The emperor said, "I have already called someone to investigate, but there is no result yet, so wait and see!" ”
Yuan Junfeng nodded, "Does the emperor want Weichen to help verify this matter!" The emperor glanced at him and said, "Why, you are not in a hurry to resign and retire!" ”
Yuan Junfeng's face froze, "This Weichen naturally thinks about it, but before that, Weichen will not forget that Weichen is still a courtier, and he can't ignore state affairs." ”
Only then did the emperor say with satisfaction, "This is like what a general should say, don't know to accompany a woman all day long, the love between children is small, and the hatred between family and country is big!" ”
Yuan Junfeng didn't speak, and the emperor continued, "Recently, the Northwest Barbarians have repeatedly sought trouble on our borders, intending to provoke trouble. ”
Yuan Junfeng also knew about this, "Weichen also knows about this, not long ago, the northwest barbarians also provoked an incident and occupied Donglai City on the frontier. ”
The emperor also said quite heavily, "Yes, these small tribes of the Northwest Barbarian Tribe, seeing that I am old, all want to disintegrate my Zhao State one by one, and they want to get a piece of the pie!" ”
Yuan Junfeng said, "The main thing is that we haven't managed these barbarians for too long, and now let them hug each other in private, our side will suffer a little, General Long is young after all, and it is indeed very tricky to encounter uncivilized barbarians, and there is no big problem with one or two defeats!" ”
The emperor was still worried, and Yuan Junfeng proposed, "The emperor wants to bring troops to support General Long!" ”
"No way!" The emperor excitedly rejected this proposal, "Yuan Junfeng, you don't know that I belong to the six princes, he has no ability to protect himself now, and the only one I can trust is you." ”
Yuan Junfeng looked at the emperor's excited appearance and was a little dodgy in his heart, "But if the emperor's general dragon is defeated again, then the morale of our army will be dispersed, so doesn't this give the northern barbarians a chance!" ”
The emperor was a little tired, "Okay, the palace is going to give the key, you can retreat first." ”
Yuan Junfeng was reluctant to leave, and the emperor saw that he didn't react, so he said, "Why don't you want to leave!" ”
Yuan Junfeng thought for a while and said, "Weichen will sit for a while!" The emperor was about to ask him if there was anything bad to say, but the little eunuch came in to report, "Your Majesty, the four princes ask to see!" ”
Yuan Junfeng raised his eyebrows, the emperor glanced at Yuan Junfeng, and said to the little eunuch, "Let her in!" ”
After the fourth prince came in, he saw Yuan Junfeng a little surprised, "The son sees his father!" After the emperor said that he was exempted, the fourth prince said to Yuan Junfeng, "General Yuan is still here!" ”
Yuan Junfeng got up and saluted the four princes, "Wechen has seen the four princes," and then asked suspiciously, "How do the four princes know that Wechen is here!" ”
The fourth prince was stunned, "How does this king know!" It's just that it's too late, General Yuan is still a little surprised in this palace! ”
Yuan Junfeng smiled at the four princes, and then said to the emperor, "The emperor's ministers have left first!" ”
The fourth prince walked out when he saw him ignoring him directly, his face was embarrassed, and the emperor didn't say anything when he saw this, but just glanced at the four princes with complicated eyes!
Xue Rou saw that Yuan Junfeng came back and immediately asked someone to reheat the meal, and Yuan Junfeng sat down at the table, "What about my mother?" ”
Xue Rou stood up and gave him a bowl of soup with a moderate temperature and put it in front of Yuan Junfeng, "Aunt saw that you didn't come, so she ate it and went back to the house to rest!" How about you go to see the emperor! ”
Yuan Junfeng took a sip of soup and said, "Fortunately, there are some things I am not sure about, and the war in the northwest is tight, and the emperor is very anxious, but he won't let me go!" ”
Xue Rou also said with some concern, "Then how is this good!" Yuan Junfeng said, "No matter, let's see what the emperor arranges tomorrow!" ”
"Emperor Qi, General Long's battle report has arrived!" On the Jinluan Palace, the emperor sat weakly on the dragon chair, "Read! ”
"Because the northwest barbarian soldiers are strong and strong, General Long fell into the enemy's trap with his youth and vigor, and died in the country, and now there is no commander to lead the Zhao soldiers, and the deputy marshal leads the retreat!"
The emperor's chest was full of blood and qi, and he spit out a mouthful of blood in an instant, and the court was in a panic, "Your Majesty! ”
Yuan Junfeng hurriedly said, "The emperor asked Weichen to go to the northwest to support!" ”
The emperor shook his hand, "I'm fine!" General Li Yanjun of the left obeys the order! Li Yanjun came out, "Weichen is here!" ”
The emperor said, "You can take all your troops to the northwest to support, and be sure to repel the northwest barbarians!" ”
Li Yanjun said, "Weichen commands! Yuan Junfeng hurriedly said to the emperor, "The emperor must not, all the troops will be taken away, and this palace will lose the protection of the periphery!" ”
The emperor said, "Needless to say, as long as the frontier can be defended, there will be no danger inside, if the frontier defense is broken, then no matter how many troops there are in this imperial city, it will not be able to hold it!" ”
After speaking, the emperor continued, "Yuan Junfeng stays in the capital and guards the palace!" ”
Yuan Jun could only accept the emperor's arrangement when he saw this, "Weichen accepts the order!" ”
On that day, Li Yanjun led people to the frontier, and Yuan Jun gathered all the Praetorian Guards in the palace together on the same day, and made more detailed arrangements for fear that something would be wrong.
When Yuan Junfeng went back, someone called Huo Pinglian, Xue Rou took Xue Fei away, and Yuan Junfeng took Huo Pinglian to the study.
Huo Pinglian listened to what Yuan Junfeng said and said very puzzledly, "What does the emperor think, if there is anything in this palace, how can such a big palace be guarded by these eight thousand Praetorian Guards!" ”
Yuan Junfeng looked at the floor plan of the palace on the desk and was also very anxious, "This is exactly what I'm worried about, not to mention that there are few people, they don't have any experience in warfare!" Although the Praetorian Guards were chosen by thousands of people, it is true that they are inexperienced! ”
Huo Pinglian was about to speak, Xue Rou knocked on the study with Wen Yang, Huo Pinglian opened the door and Wen Yang walked in and hurriedly said, "The general is not good, the survey soldiers are coming back and forth, there is an army coming to the palace thirty miles ahead!" ”
Yuan Junfeng immediately stood up and took Huo Pinglian to the palace, and when he came to the palace, he immediately ordered the gate of the capital to be closed, and then left 5,000 Praetorian Guards in the palace, and ordered him to close the palace gate, leaving Wenyang to stay in the palace.
Yuan Junfeng took Huo Pinglian and 3,000 soldiers to the city wall of the capital to defend it, and just distributed the positions of all the soldiers.
Huo Pinglian said happily, "Fortunately, there is a moat, these Northwest barbarians don't understand water!" ”
Yuan Junfeng looked at the marshal below and shook his head, "It won't last long, which one is the most combat-effective Boji clone of the other party,"
As soon as Yuan Junfeng finished speaking, he saw a team of people below with stout trees, and started to do lap work on the spot.
Yuan Jun was startled and immediately said, "Immediately release the arrow!" Seeing the archers above, Bozier Kron ordered, "Prepare the shield!" ”
Yuan Junfeng looked at the leaking wood and immediately said, "Rocket preparation, arrow with oil bag to aim at wood!" ”
In an instant, there was chaos under the Northwest Barbarians, and Bo Jier Clone could only order, "Three miles back!" ”
Yuan Junfeng watched the people below retreat to safety, and still said uneasily, "Don't relax, stay where you are!" ”
