Chapter 99: Traveling with the Army
Wen Jun had doubts about herself, and when she saw that Empress Wu was angry, she thought: I have to go to the front line in person, so that it is convenient to investigate the situation, if it is really a husband, I will save him. Now that I am the queen mother's daughter, anyone still has to give me three points of thin noodles.
After thinking about it, Wen Jun said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, my daughter wants to go to the front line in person to quell the rebellion for her godmother and capture the thieves alive." ”
Empress Wu was originally angry, but seeing Wen Jun so heroic, Kang Xuan made a statement and said with a smile: "Good daughter, do you really want to go?" “
"Yes, my daughter wants to go."
"Alright! Anyway, my army is strong, and you won't be in any danger, and you can also show those men how the women don't let the eyebrows go. But daughter, you must remember that I don't care about anyone's life and death, but Sima Xianglu will definitely capture me alive, and I will personally watch him be dismembered and die by five horses. “
Wen Jun replied worriedly, "Yes." ”
Empress Wu smiled and asked Wen Jun to accompany her to the garden to soothe her mood.
The next day, in the court, Empress Wu announced his will: "Order Li Xiaoyi, the general of Zuo Yuxuanwei, to be the governor of Yangzhou Province, leading 300,000 troops, and Wei Yuanzhong, the palace attendant, is the deputy marshal to assist him."
Then Empress Wu looked at Wen Jun who was standing next to her and said: "The righteous daughter of this palace is the supervising army, and she replaces the palace to supervise General Li, general, you have to take care of the daughter of this palace, if she has any accidents, I only ask you." ”
Li Xiaoyi hurriedly knelt down and said, "Obey the will of the Queen Mother." ”
Empress Wu looked at Wen Jun happily, ready to see them off.
The army went directly from Luoyang to Yangzhou, Wen Jun was wearing armor, a delicate and heroic appearance, and the queen of martial arts clapped happily, Li Dan saw Wen Jun's appearance was also fascinated by it, and Li Dan also had a calculation: Wen Jun is so favored now, if she can accept her as a concubine, then the queen mother will definitely relax her vigilance against herself, and her safety will be preserved.
Li Xiaoyi, Wei Yuanzhong, and Wen Jun led an army of 300,000 to march to Yangzhou.
At this time, in Yangzhou City, Xu Jingye was holding a discussion meeting, and Xiang Lu also followed Luo Bingwang into the meeting hall.
"What do you think we should do? The queen of thieves sent 300,000 troops to suppress it, how should we respond? Xu Jingye asked.
"The governor of the capital does not need to worry, Yangzhou is already under our control, if we raise troops to attack Runzhou and Chuzhou in the south, and use this as a base to expand to the south and west, we will be able to divide the southeast, occupy the south, and rule the river with the queen of thieves." Xue Zhang said.
"It's not proper, we were originally Xingyi soldiers after the crusade against the thieves, we should take Luoyang directly, and after killing the thieves, we should return to Li Xian, how can we engage in secession to the south, isn't that a slap in the face?"
Xu Jingye thought to himself: How can Luoyang be so easy to capture, I raised troops to achieve a great cause, who is Li Xian.
Xu Jingye glanced at Sima Xianglu and said, "Sima Gongzi, what do you think?" ”
Xiang Lu had no intention of helping Xu Jingye, thinking: I can't let you get a response from all over the world, I must find a way to make you destroy as soon as possible.
Xiang Lu got up and said, "Governor Dadu, why don't you want to be Liu Yuhu?" Liu Yu occupied the south, and if it weren't for the death of Liu Muzhi in the rear, coupled with old age, the Northern Expedition would not have been successful. ”
When Xu Jingye heard this, he thought: Yes, I am in the prime of life, if I really capture the south, like Liu Yu, won't I also capture the areas south of the Yellow River? At that time, Luoyang and Chang'an were not all in my hands.
Xu Jingye slapped his hand and said, "The governor of Bendu has decided to attack Run and Chu Erzhou in the south first. Occupy the south, and then seek the northern expedition. “
Wei Siwen shook his head, disgusted with Sima Xianglu, and Xue Zhang liked Xianglu very much.
