The maid's words made Ding Leng and Jia Caixuan's faces change suddenly, and they were stunned. Pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info5v eight 5v eight 5v read 5v book,.●.● After a long time, Ding Lengfang came back to his senses and stammered and asked, "Who? Who did you just say was martyred?"
"It's the commander of the Fourth Army, General An Yifuan...... Martyrdom!" replied with a pale face and a crying voice.
Ding Leng heard it clearly this time, and his head buzzed, his eyes turned black, his throat was sweet, his body shook, and he almost fell to the ground.
Jia Caixuan's hand was sick, and she hurriedly supported Ding Leng's crumbling body, and said, "Ah Leng, don't worry about it first!" As she spoke, she asked the maid again, "What's going on?"
"The news is from the Fourth Army!" the maid then recounted the battle report sent back from Sipanshan in its original form.
Ding Leng rushed back to Xijing from Sipan Mountain, ran non-stop for seven days and seven nights, and the carrier pigeon that delivered the battle report flew back to Xijing in only one day, and at the same time brought back the news that shocked the government and the opposition.
Who would have thought that Tang Wanyun would use the extreme method of self-destructing the shadow clone to wipe out the senior generals of the Fourth Army, resulting in the Zhenjun Army being leaderless and greatly damaged, and finally being defeated by the 200,000 rebels.
Jia Caixuan was also sad, sad and deeply sorry for An Yifu's death, but her feelings for An Yifu were far less deep than Ding Leng.
Seeing Ding sitting on the stone bench stiffly, staring at herself with both eyes, and her eyes still contained resentment, she said angrily: "Are you complaining about me? Even if you were there at the time, you couldn't change this result, it just added a soul of grievance!"
She is telling the truth, even if Ding Leng was present at the time, he couldn't change anything, that is, he couldn't stop An Yifu from meeting Tang Wanyun, and he couldn't stop the self-destruction of the shadow clone, if he was lucky, at most, he would have survived with his profound cultivation, but he would also be crippled or seriously injured, and if he didn't get it, he would die in the chaos in the end.
Ding Leng didn't speak, the sadness, anger, and self-blame in his heart had gathered to the extreme, but there was nowhere to vent. All kinds of emotions condensed into a mountain and pressed on his heart, as if they wanted to suffocate him to death.
After some time, he stood up sharply and walked out. Jia Caixuan stopped him in a hurry and asked, "Ah Leng, where are you going?"
"Go to the palace to face the saint!" he strode out as he said in a deep voice: "I hope Your Majesty can give me a death and let me go underground to be the companion of all my brothers!"
"Ah Leng, you come back for me-" Jia Caixuan still wanted to chase Ding Leng, but the latter shook his head, and the person had disappeared in the high priest's mansion.
After Ding Leng left the High Priest's Palace, he mounted his horse and went straight to the palace.
He really did what he said and went to ask Tang Ling for his guilt. If Shangguan Xiu was there, of course he would have pleaded guilty to Shangguan Xiu, but Shangguan Xiu was not there, so he could only go to Tang Ling.
In Ding Leng's opinion, if he is in the army, he doesn't know if it will change the final result, the problem is that he is not in the army, and during the period when he leaves the camp, his responsibility is too great.
Now, Ding Leng really went to see Tang Ling with the determination to die.
Tang Ling summoned Ding Leng, but he didn't have time to pay attention to him for a while. When Ding Leng came to the imperial study, Tang Ling was writing hard inside. After coming in, Ding Leng didn't speak, knelt on the ground with a puff, and kowtowed forward.
At this time, Tang Ling's attention was on this letter, she was writing a letter to Hailey, asking Hailey to lead the army of the city-state of Jinsk, break into Anjun, and drag the rebels.
In the letter, Tang Ling's words were extremely strong, and he explained bluntly that if Hailey did not obey the order this time, then the Wind Country would not send another hay or grain to the Jinsk city-state army, nor would it equip it with bullets one by one.
The implication is to let the city-state of Jinsk fend for itself in the territory of the Wind Country.
Since the Zhenjun army set out on the expedition, all the good news has come from the front. First of all, it broke the rebels' northern and southern camps, and then broke the 200,000 rebels besieging Shenchi, the Fourth Army firmly dragged the 200,000 rebels in Anjun, and the First Army Corps bypassed Shangjing and inserted into Sichuan County, not only capturing Chuanzhou, the capital of Sichuan County, but also recruiting the southeast naval army.
Of course, Xijing didn't know that the capture of Sichuan by the Zhenjun army was a helpless move by being trapped in Sichuan County, and only thought that it was a plan for the Zhenjun army to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, in fact, after the Zhenjun army captured Sichuanzhou, it did have the effect of drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle to the rebels.
Under the general situation of the Zhenjun army's successive battles, Xijing's side, including Tang Ling, became optimistic about the situation of counterinsurgency, believing that the Zhenjun army would be able to break through Shangjing and recapture the capital in the near future, and their own side would soon move the capital back to Shangjing.
As a result, the report of the defeat of the Fourth Army was transmitted back, as if a bucket of cold water was poured on everyone's heads, making people's blood become cold, and people realized that the war with the rebels had just begun, and there was still no time before the end of the war, and even whether they could win the battle had become unknown, after all, the Zhenjun Army of the rebellion only had two legions in total, and the first battle of Sipanshan had defeated an entire legion, and now only the first legion led by Shangguan Xiu remained, and it could still win the rebel court with hundreds of thousands of troopsEven the First Army had to be trapped and killed by the rebels in Sichuan County.
The First Legion, including Shangguan Xiu, is a matter of life and death, and his life is tied to the first line, at this time, the only one who can help the First Legion is the Jinsk City-State Army, in the letter to Hailey, how can Tang Ling's attitude not be in a hurry, and how can his words not be fierce?
After Tang Ling finished writing the letter, he carefully read it from beginning to end, and after confirming that it was correct, he handed the letter to a female official and said in a deep voice: "Immediately send someone to send the letter to Yujun and hand it over to Hai Li to open in person." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" the female officer hurriedly agreed, took the letter, and walked out quickly.
Tang Ling leaned back and let out a long sigh, now, even she wasn't sure if Hailey would listen to her command.
Don't look at the fact that everything in the Jinsk city-state army relies on the assistance of the Wind Country, but in the Wind Country, the only one who can really suppress Hailey is Shangguan Xiu, in other words, the person Hai Li is really afraid and feared is only Shangguan Xiu.
She took out a handkerchief from her cuffs and wiped the sweat on her forehead, I don't know if it was because Zhenjun was hot or because she was pregnant, during this time, Tang Ling was particularly prone to sweating.
After she wiped the sweat from her forehead, the corner of her eye suddenly caught a glimpse of a kneeling person below. Tang Ling was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Who is next?"
Hearing Tang Ling's question, Ding Lengfang, who had always maintained a kowtow posture, opened his mouth and said, "Sinner Ding Leng, knock to see Your Majesty!"
Tang Ling blinked, and remembered in a trance that there was indeed a palace maid who reported to her just now, and Ding Leng asked to see her. At that time, she was busy writing a letter to Hailey, so she forgot about Ding Leng. She raised her head and said, "General Ding, get up and speak!"
"Don't dare!" Ding Leng's head was still on the ground.
Tang Ling frowned, and was just about to speak, when he suddenly remembered something, and said, "If I remember correctly, General Ding is the deputy commander of the Sixteenth Army (the number of the Fourth Army of the Zhenjun Army in the Central Army). ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Why are you in Xijing?"
Ding Leng said gloomily: "Yes...... It was Weichen who missed his family, so he left the camp and returned to Beijing to visit his relatives!"
This sentence made Tang Ling's anger rush straight to his head. The Fourth Army fought bloodily with the enemy on the front line, and Ding Leng, as the deputy commander of the corps, actually returned to Beijing without reporting because he missed his family, which was simply an escape from the battle!
She slapped the table and shouted, "Leng Ding, you are so bold!"
"The guilty minister deserves to die, and His Majesty will be condemned!"
"100,000 soldiers, only 30,000 returnees, 70,000 heroes, blood-stained Sipanshan, as the deputy commander of the army, holding a high position, you fled without a fight, you are not only the shame of the Southwest Group Army, but also the shame of my Gale soldiers, what is the use of me keeping you?
With Tang Ling's shouting, four gendarmes walked in from outside, and they all intervened to salute: "Your Majesty!"
"Will ......" Before Tang Ling could speak, suddenly, the feeling of nausea came up all of a sudden, she subconsciously covered her mouth with her cuffs, slowed down for a while, picked up the teacup again, and drank a few large sips of tea before suppressing the vomiting.
She gasped for a moment and was about to speak, when a palace maid quickly came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Mr. Yan asks to see you!"
Yan Hui is outstanding, thoughtful, and thoughtful, and is quite liked by Tang Ling, in order to facilitate Yan Hui's work, she also specially gave him a token to enter and exit the palace freely. Hearing that Yan Hui asked to see him, Tang Ling's face softened a little and said, "Xuan." ”
It didn't take long, Yan Hui walked in briskly from outside, and when he saw Ding Leng kneeling on the ground, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he was not late, and finally caught up. He took two steps forward, knelt forward and kowtowed, and said, "Caomin Yan Hui, meet Your Majesty!"
"Mr. Yan, please get up. Tang Ling said with a pleasant face.
After Yan replied and thanked him, he stood up and said, "Your Majesty has informed the grass people to select some shrewd and capable slaves from the Western Regions to enter the palace, and now the grass people have been selected, a total of fifty slave girls from the Western Regions are now waiting outside the palace." ”
Tell Yan what to do when you go back on the first day, and he will be able to help you do it properly the next day, who wouldn't like such a talent. If it was usual, Tang Ling would definitely praise him a few words, but now, she didn't have that kind of thought.
Before Tang Ling could speak, Yan Hui seemed to have just seen Ding Leng, and said in surprise: "General Ding, it turns out that you have already returned to Beijing! Ling Tang is seriously ill and has been bedridden for many days now, if General Ding has free time, he should go home early and have a look!"
Ding Leng is very familiar with Yan Hui, the two are not only brothers, but also in the army, they are also superiors and subordinates. Mother is seriously ill? He didn't hear about it! Ding Leng raised his head slightly and looked at Yan Hui on the side in confusion.
Tang Ling's mind moved, and he asked, "General Ding's Gao Tang is seriously ill?"
"Exactly! The letter was still sent to General An by the grass people, please ask General An to pass it on to General Ding!" He said this, revealing that Ding Leng did not return to Beijing without authorization, but only returned to Beijing with the consent of his immediate boss An Yifu.
After hearing this, Tang Ling's face softened a little and asked, "General Ding." ”
"The sinner is here!"
"Your return to Beijing, but with General An's approval?"
"Yes...... Yes. ”
"Why didn't you say it earlier?"
"When the brothers were in danger, the guilty minister failed to fight side by side with the brothers, and the guilt was heavy, and the guilty minister only asked for death, so as to comfort the souls of the fallen soldiers in heaven!" Ding Leng spoke, kowtowed forward again, choked up and said, "Please fulfill Your Majesty!"
Tang Ling couldn't wait to leave his seat and kick Ding Leng a few times, if he hadn't left the camp without permission, he had killed him indiscriminately just now, and Ah Xiu wouldn't have to turn his face with himself when he came back?
"Even so, the death penalty can be avoided, the living crime cannot be escaped, come and put Ding Leng in the prison, and wait for the general to return to Beijing, and then be held accountable!"
Tang Ling's order made the four gendarmes present also secretly sigh, if His Majesty really wanted to execute Ding Leng, they didn't know what to do. Fortunately, Yan came back in time, and at the critical moment, His Majesty changed his attention and only detained him, not beheaded.
The reason why Yan Hui was able to arrive in time was of course not a coincidence, Ding Leng's temperament, Jia Caixuan couldn't understand it anymore, after he left the High Priest's Mansion, she realized that it was not good to have a big event, and it was too late to stop Ding Leng, so she could only ask Yan Hui for help. Knowing that Ding Leng went to the palace to die, Yan Hui didn't say a word, and immediately took the last batch of slaves from the Western Regions into the palace to face the saint. Fortunately, Tang Ling did not ask Ding Leng at the beginning, but was busy writing a letter to Hailey, which bought valuable time for Yan Hui's rescue in the palace.
As for whether Ding Leng's mother was seriously ill, she didn't have it before, but now it's hard to say, Yan Hui specially sent someone to Ding's mansion to report that the Fourth Army suffered a crushing defeat in the counterinsurgency, the whole army was wiped out, and Ding Leng's bones were also left in the battle.
Ding Leng is Ding's mother's baby bump, Ding's mother is not in good health, after hearing the news, it is estimated that he will be sick if he is not sick, even if Tang Ling sends someone to investigate, he will not be able to find out his crime of bullying the king.
