Chapter Forty-Seven: Eight-Character Blood Book!
"Quick, open the gates!"
Upstairs in Nancheng, the captain couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this scene.
This is a cavalryman who came down from the battlefield, and he is his own man!
It's just that I don't know if he came from the frontier or from Si Yu's army.
Looking at his miserable appearance, fools know that the situation at the front is no longer optimistic.
This cavalryman has his last breath left, and he must send the military report to the Taihe Palace!
......
In the Taihe Palace, the atmosphere was exceptionally silent.
The civil and military officials hurriedly entered the hall, no one exchanged words, and the generals, including Zhao Yun and others, had already arrived from the barracks.
After half a month of intense military training, they entered the Taihe Hall again.
Everyone could feel a solemn atmosphere rippling in the air, and the atmosphere in the entire Taihe Hall seemed to be wafting with the smell of blood.
Taihe Palace, above the white marble staircase, the emperor has been waiting there for a long time.
"Hundred Officials ......"
I want to shout out of my throat when I leave the twister's routine.
"Excuse me. ”
Su Chen waved his hand, interrupting Liwuzi's words. Now that the situation is tense and the battle situation on the front line has changed, there is no effort to come to a set of rules in the court.
Su Chen got up and strode to the white marble stairs and stood still.
The hundred officials knelt down one after another, facing Su Chen, and there was silence.
Su Chen glanced at the civil and military officials, directly skipped the procedures of the early dynasty, spoke in person, and said in a deep voice: "Xuan, the envoy of the front-line military report is here!"
"Wow. ”
Liwuzi hurriedly knelt down to salute, and then trotted down the stairs all the way to the gate of the Taihe Palace.
The officials had different thoughts, even if the emperor didn't say it, they knew that what happened in Nanchenglou today had already spread throughout the entire imperial capital.
Even some people clearly saw that there was a front-line military messenger entering the city at the south gate, covered in blood, and he brought the most important military report!
After a while, the twist came back.
Behind him was the captain of Nancheng Tower, whose hands were holding a blood-stained book, and the book was still dripping with blood.
The lieutenant knelt down, held up the blood-stained book with both hands, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the front-line military newspaper is brought." ”
Su Chen squinted his eyes slightly, and his tone was extraordinarily calm: "What about the messenger!"
"The envoy of the military report was seriously wounded, his internal breath was disordered, and there were as many as one hundred and three wounds from swords and spears outside his body; ”
The captain's voice was sad and indignant, and he said in a low voice: "Before a stick of incense, he ..... Before the gate of the palace, he dictated the information about the frontier to the ministers before he died, and at the same time gave the last general this letter, and he entrusted the last general to tell His Majesty in the Taihe Palace. ”
is a short sentence, but it makes people hear a sense of sadness.
He desperately wanted to send the military newspaper back, wanting to face the saint to state the situation on the front line, but he died outside the palace at the last moment.
"Read. ”
Su Chen took a deep breath and tried to calm the anger in his heart.
The captain nodded, unfolded the blood-stained book, and read aloud: "Minister, Linshan City is too guarded, ask for help!"
"Gone?"
The officials were stunned, such a simple military newspaper?
But there are sharp-eyed officials, and when they look up, they can see the handwriting on the blood-stained silk in the captain's hand, eight words! The words are stained with blood! This is a blood book!
Every word is written in blood!
Su Chen was still silent and didn't speak, and Guan Yiwu hurriedly spoke: "The battle situation on the front line is tight, how can I have time to write a military report, it is normal to be brief." ”
Guo Sikong was stunned for a moment, a sigh in his heart, and he couldn't help frowning.
Linshan City is the frontline area under Si Yu's responsibility, the southern gateway area of the imperial capital, and the core area of the Eight Kings Rebellion and the Si Jiajun war.
If there is a problem in Linshan City, then there must be a problem with Si Jiajun!
If Linshan City is lost, the southern gateway of the imperial capital is lost, and the imperial capital will definitely be in danger!
The ministers of the Military Aircraft Pavilion frowned and thought about it, they had been deducing the entire battle situation since the moment they learned that the military messenger had entered the city.
"You just said that the envoy dictated to you some military reports? Now that the emperor is in front of you, you can say it. ”
Sima Yi looked at the captain and said in a deep voice, "Don't miss anything!"
"Wow. ”
The lieutenant bowed his head, his expression was sad, and he said loudly: "Half a month ago, Si Yu led all the Si family troops to withdraw from the battlefield on the grounds that he was in danger on the frontier! The pressure on Linshan City increased suddenly, and only the 8,000 county and county guards spontaneously formed by the people in the city resisted the attack of the 200,000 army of the second prince all the way day and night!"
The lieutenant's words were like dropping a bomb on the entire court!
Suddenly, the entire court was in an uproar, the hundred officials were shocked, and the minister of the Military Aircraft Pavilion was also shocked.
"What?"
"Si Yu has withdrawn his troops, what is he doing on the frontier!"
"The frontier is in distress, is there a problem with the frontier guarded by Si Long?"
"Si Yu withdraws his troops, who will suppress the domestic unrest?"
Once the southern barrier is lost, there will be no danger around the imperial capital!"
There were many discussions among the officials in the court, and everyone's expressions were extremely shocked, and their faces were pale.
Si Yu, who was fine a few days ago, why did he suddenly withdraw his troops?
Could it be that the frontier guarded by Si Long is really about to be undefended?
The captain continued: "The grain, grass, and ordnance in the city have all been taken away by Si Yu's army, and the soldiers in the city have nothing to eat, but to eat tree bark, eat soil, and drink rain!"
"The sword is broken and there is no way to change it, and there is no way to change the armor if it is broken, they dare not go out of the city, so they can only defend it to the death!
"There are only two thousand people in the city!"
"Before Si Yu left, he said that Linshan City could not be defended, and the dozens of war horses he left for Taishou were used for Taishou to escape!"
"Seven days ago, the Taishou of Linshan City gathered the only remaining war horses in the city and sent a total of thirty-eight cavalry at night!"
"Thirty-eight cavalrymen, only one of them desperately escaped from the encirclement of the army of the second prince!"
"There is no help in the city, and Linshan City has reached the moment of life and death! The military messenger, the moment he died, he was talking ......"
The captain's voice trembled, and his voice echoed throughout the Taihe Palace, and no one spoke, most of them were silent.
"What did he say?"
Su Chen's voice was extremely cold, and Sima Yi could clearly feel that the anger in the emperor's heart was surging and burning!
He said...... The Sijia army is no longer credible! My Huanghuang human race, the Nuoda Dynasty, the only soldiers available today are the defenders of the counties and counties around the imperial capital! Linshan City is in danger, and I only ask for reinforcements!"
"It's been half a month, and the soldiers are so hungry that they can't even hold their swords steadily, and they really can't hold it anymore!
The captain's voice trembled even more, he burst into tears, and said in a choked voice: "He said that the soldiers fought to the death for the emperor on the front line, and I just ask the emperor for mercy and send reinforcements!"
After the captain finished speaking, he took a deep breath, faced Su Chen, and bowed deeply: "Send troops, emperor, Linshan City can't be lost!"
"The last general would rather die on the front line, and he would not like to enjoy a moment of peace in the imperial capital!"
The entire court was silent, and no one dared to speak.
The news brought by this military newspaper made the entire court turbulent.
