Chapter 100: Three Days (4K)
The battle exemption card hung high above the city, and although the officers and soldiers patrolling the city in armor, they no longer had the tension and solemnity of the past.
The battle may be over, and they don't know what the outcome will be, but they know that a large army is approaching on the border, and they may have to move their troops.
The tent door was lifted, and Major General Huang walked in with a spear in his hand.
Several generals gathered in front of the sand table hurriedly raised their hands and shouted "Major General Huang", and then looked at him.
Major General Huang glanced at the crooked flags on the sand table, and saw that there was still some indignation on the faces of several generals, and he knew that before he came back, these people must have quarreled again.
"You can't hide from what you should dodge." Major General Huang smiled, straightened the crooked flag on the sand table, walked in front of these generals, and said, "Your Majesty has put the decision in our hands this time, which is a sign of trust in us, and I also believe that we can make the most correct judgment on the battle situation." ”
"So, are we going to fight or not to fight?" Major General Huang put the chess piece representing their main army in the middle of the sand table and said, "Let's talk about it!" ”
"My main battle, Chen Shan's rebellious heart is clearly revealed, continue to fight, we have a great chance of winning, give up, Anzhi will not raise tigers for trouble?" A general said, "Why give up for nothing?" ”
"No one wants to give up." Another general said, "Dawan and the Xiongnu are approaching with troops, and continue to entangle with Chen Shan, once they enter the pass, they can completely avoid us, don't go all the way to Fancheng, and go straight to Chang'an." What will happen to the people? What about Your Majesty? ”
"Not bad." Someone else answered, "As for what you said about raising tigers, Chen Shan is now forty-five, not twenty years old back then, and I heard that this tiger is riddled with old diseases, it is unlikely that this tiger can rise again." Without the Southwest Army on his side, what can he do? ”
"It's a pity to give up just now, it's clear that victory is in sight, and I can take down Chen Shan'......"
"What about taking Chen Shan?" Someone shook his head, "Since ancient times, except for those who have been killed by the rebels and committed suicide, how can there be a few who survive and end up under house arrest?" In the past, King Chen rebelled, if he hadn't committed suicide, the first emperor would not have killed him, and the ending ended in house arrest. Now that Chen Shan is willing to put himself under house arrest, what is the difference between this ending and finally taking him down? ”
To tell the truth, since ancient times, a large part of the rebellion has been the blood relatives of the emperor, and in such a situation, even if the rebellion fails, most of them will end their lives as a result of house arrest, which is not uncommon.
Of course, this life was also to recruit those rebels who conspired against him, so that the world could see His Majesty's magnanimity. Now that His Majesty's name of mercy is outside, even if Chen Shan is finally taken down, and his Southwest Army is to be absorbed, in the name of mercy, it is very likely that Chen Shan will end up under house arrest.
"If there is no Dawan and the Huns approaching, no one will stop. But now it's different, we don't stop, if Dawan and the Huns really hit Chang'an, who can afford the name of the reckless army? A gray-haired veteran sighed, shook his head and said, "You and I can't be rash, Chen Shan is not stupid, there is no reason for you and I not to agree to this condition." ”
Major General Huang nodded: "We are not ordinary people, and we can't do big things with selfish intentions, and I agree with my opinion." It's just that there must be no half-point difference pool when the Southwestern Army is absorbed! ”
Several generals answered in unison.
Major General Huang bowed slightly, and his thoughts drifted away: "Dawan is not small among dozens of large and small countries in the Western Regions, rich in sweat and blood, and its cavalry is quite powerful, and the Xiongnu alone cannot unify the Xiongnu in such a short period of time without the help of the Dawan cavalry." This time, the Dawan and Xiongnu joint forces are completely different from the previous time, and we must not underestimate them. ”
Several generals responded again.
……
The opinion of the army was not delayed, and it was soon transmitted to Chang'an.
Old Lady Wang received the news almost at the same time as His Majesty.
"What was the result?" Old lady Wang cautiously looked at the tea set in the tea room and asked.
Wang Xu sighed inaudibly, and he didn't know what he was sighing, but he still said the result in his mouth: "Most of the generals in the army agreed. ”
"Mostly?" Old lady Wang grabbed the silk cloth in her hand and turned sideways slightly, as if she was a little surprised, "Is there anyone who disagrees?" ”
"yes!" Wang Xu said, "Wang Hengshan, the guard of Linlu Pass, disagrees. ”
"Wang Hengshan!" Old Lady Wang thought for a moment and then nodded slightly, "I know this person, this person is not an old stubborn, why doesn't he agree?" Can you say why? ”
Wang Xu nodded: "Yes, but this reason is difficult to convince the public." ”
"What reason?" Old lady Wang asked.
"He said that if everything is wrong, it will be evil." Wang Xu said: "Chen Shanzhi has a different meaning in the Southwest Mansion, no matter when he appears, he is a hundred responses, this is no longer an ordinary commander, leaving him will definitely cause disaster!" ”
"This reason ......" Old Lady Wang couldn't help but sneer when she heard it, "I really can't speak!" This argument is not convincing.
Wang Xu asked on the side, "Does grandfather also think we should agree?" ”
Old lady Wang glanced at him and said, "If you have no selfish intentions, of course you have to agree." Selfish people...... It's gone. ”
Or rather, unilaterally cut off all ties with them and disappeared.
"No one can afford to be reckless." After a pause, Old Lady Wang said again, "Chen Shan dared to mention it, so he knew that we would definitely agree." ”
Wang Xu bowed his head and said yes.
"You go to the street and shout that there is no war," the old lady Wang seemed to have a lot of words today, and he should have felt a lot, and he said with his hand pointing outward, "Look how happy the people will be!" No civil war is the will of the people, who can stop who dares to stop it? ”
Wang Xu snorted, but his eyes flashed, and he suddenly said, "What if someone has to stop it?" ”
"What good results are there for going against the will of the people?" Old lady Wang shook her head, "If she wasn't stupid, she wouldn't do this." ”
"But sometimes it's not a question of being stupid or not, it's that things like loyalty, righteousness and filial piety are difficult to consider." Wang Xu said, "It's hard to do! ”
The truce is the will of the people, it is the righteousness, and her filial piety is contrary to the righteousness, so she is missing!
"With such a big person, he naturally has to bear the consequences of doing things, and no one is exempt from vulgarity." Old lady Wang said, paused, and suddenly changed the topic, "How is Qianzhuang?" ”
"It's still like that." Wang Xu said, "I always have a bad premonition, but I can't say what it is." ”
"Then let's see!" Old lady Wang said, "Recently, the palace has been saying that Your Majesty has landed a new mansion on the Heavenly Master Road again. ”
Wang Xu was puzzled: "What is Your Majesty going to do?" ”
"The Imperial Gift of the Great Heavenly Master's Mansion." Old lady Wang arched her hand in the direction of the imperial city, "The emperor's grace is mighty! ”
"It's a friendship with different people." Wang Xu sighed and said, "At that time, Jinan City was in danger, and Your Majesty specially asked her to return to Chang'an, which shows that her status in Your Majesty's heart is always different!" "The friendship with the Son of Heaven is not ordinary.
"Once the emperor's grace was mighty, another day there will be a lot of copied and beheaded." Old lady Wang shook her head and snorted lightly, "A companion is like a tiger." ”
"If there are no accidents, Your Majesty should respond to Chen Shan's request for peace tomorrow morning." Wang Xu said, "This matter should have been finalized." ”
Old lady Wang nodded.
There should be no surprises in this way.
But there are a lot of accidents in this world.
On the morning of the second day, His Majesty did not mention the matter, did not say no, nor did he say yes, as if the matter had been put aside for the time being.
Could it be that Your Majesty has forgotten? Of course, it is impossible to forget such a thing.
Several important ministers exchanged glances with each other: The matter will not be forgotten, so the only possibility is that His Majesty is dragging it, does this matter need to be delayed? Can this matter be delayed? The Great Chu Army can't afford it!
……
……
"Three days, we only have three days." The girl broke a branch in her hand and stuck it heavily in the soil, looked at Chen Li, who was shocked and uncertain, and said, "Don't look at me like this, it's not my fault in this matter." ”
Chen Li lowered his head and scolded fiercely, although Wei Yaoqing didn't hear what he was scolding clearly, but she knew that it was not a good word, but she didn't care, because Chen Li was not scolding her, but Chen Shan.
"I've tried my best to help you stop it," she intercepted a total of three letters on her side, Wei Yaoqing sighed a little helplessly, "But who knew he would ask Chen Shuo to help deliver the letter?" ”
Many people know about Chen Shuo and Chen Shan, as the saying goes, "Don't bully young people to be poor", Chen Shuo just offended Chen Shan. originally thought that it would be okay for Chen Shan to meet Chen Shuo without doing anything, but who knew that he would actually use Chen Shuo to deliver the letter. But it was precisely because of this that they did not intercept this person.
So the letter was not stopped and arrived in the capital as scheduled.
"I've already played straight in front of the king, and now we have three days." Wei Yaoqing raised three fingers and said, "In three days, Your Majesty will respond to the Southwest's request for peace, and if the commander of the Southwest Army is still Chen Shan, then there will be nothing to do with you." ”
"Then why don't you hurry up!" Chen Liqi jumped to his feet, "Are you still here to see the scenery?" ”
She and that Pei Zongzhi had never entered the barracks yet, and they had only wandered outside the barracks from beginning to end.
"So, I need you to lure Chen Shan out." Wei Yaoqing looked at him and said, "I want him not to bring anyone with him." ”
Chen Li breathed a sigh of relief: "You said it earlier!" This one is too simple. ”
"Really?" Wei Yaoqing was noncommittal and asked him, "What are you going to do?" ”
Chen Li said: "It's too simple, hunting or catching a spy or something, you can do it!" ”
Wei Yaoqing thought for a while and said, "Then you just say that you caught two Hun spies!" ”
Chen Li rolled his eyes and said, "Where can I find two Huns?" ”
"You don't have to worry about this, I'll take care of it for you." Wei Yaoqing said, "Remember to use this rhetoric, don't play freely!" ”
Chen Li snorted coldly and said, "As long as you bring people out, don't worry about the rest, right?" ”
"You only have three days' chance, and if you ruin my plan by talking to yourself, you should never think of a chance to turn over." Wei Yaoqing looked at him coldly and said, "You think about it yourself!" "She is not Chen Shan, and she doesn't have such a good temper towards Chen Li.
"Okay! I know. Chen Li said impatiently, "Is there anything else?" ...... without me."
Before the word "gone" could be uttered, I heard the girl say "yes".
She's really welcome! Chen Li looked at her, saw that she turned sideways, and took a pot of flowers and plants that he had been holding in his hand from Pei Zongzhi beside him, handed it to him, and said, "You go to Chen Shan and tell him to bring them in when he found two Hun spies and put them in his camp." ”
"What is this?"
"You don't have to know what it is." As she spoke, the girl took out an oiled paper bag from her bosom and handed it to him, "Dissolving in water is no different from ordinary tea, you give him this tea to drink." ”
"What for?" Chen Li was even more puzzled, looking at the things in his hand and seemed to realize something, but said in his mouth, "Do you still want to send food and drink?" ”
"Flowers and plants are non-toxic, tea is non-toxic, and the two are toxic when they are fused together, understand?" Wei Yaoqing stared at Chen Li, not missing the look on his face.
Chen Li suddenly said: "I see, this is a wonderful way, ordinary people can't find it even if they can't find it." ”
"You think it's good, right?" Wei Yaoqing looked at him and said thoughtfully, "This is the way I poisoned Chen Shan for you." ”
Chen Li nodded, his eyes lit up: "You really have two means, this is really a good way......
"Of course the method is good, but Chen Shan will not be tricked." Wei Yaoqing looked at him, raised her eyelids and said.
In order to make Chen Shan really feel that Chen Li wanted to replace him, and even threatened herself, she deliberately considered Chen Li's character and ability and thought of a way for him to come up with it. Only by truly angering Chen Shan can the next plan go smoothly.
"I don't think so!" Chen Li thought for a moment and said, "I don't think there's anything wrong with this plan. ”
"You've got only three days, just enough time for you to make a move, are you sure you want to take such a risk?" Wei Yaoqing looked at him and shook her head, "We have to make better preparations." ”
Chen Li seemed a little unimpressed: "What if it succeeds?" ”
"If it succeeds, the following plan will be canceled, what? It can also hinder your plan from coming true. Wei Yaoqing said.
Chen Li nodded in agreement.
……
……
For three days, His Majesty told them to wait for three days, and after three days, they divided their troops and rushed to the border.
This move is enough to show that His Majesty agrees to this matter, but why wait for three days? What is the significance of such a move?
More than a dozen generals in the Great Chu Army were puzzled, General Huang Shao was puzzled, and even Wang Hengshan, who rushed over from Linlu Pass, was puzzled.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?" A general opened his mouth and glanced at Wang Hengshan, this guy actually disagreed with them this time, he had never seen him so belligerent before, and he didn't know what was wrong this time, and the reason given was so unconvincing, I really wondered if he was here to make trouble this time.
Wang Hengshan naturally noticed this "white eye", and couldn't help laughing: "I don't know! I have only written my own opinion, and Your Majesty has not intended to adopt my opinion in the slightest. ”
"Your Majesty is asking us to wait, but what can we wait for three days?" The general opened his mouth with a puzzled and dazed expression, "What else can you do besides delaying the military plane for three days?" ”
