Chapter 857 Honor

Of course, Shangguan Xiu is making trouble in secret, and everything that is happening so far is being implemented step by step according to the plan formulated in advance. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Shangguan Xiuyou told Tang Ling the general direction of his plan, that is, the use of troops in the Wind Country did not go west, not north, but he did not tell Tang Ling the specific details of the plan.

If he wants to deceive the eyes and ears of the people of Ningnan, and if he wants to deceive Xin Jiyao and the intelligence network of the Xin family, it is not so easy, he needs Tang Ling and the imperial court to make the most real reaction, not to act.

He smiled and said, "General Wu is old, and it is time to return to his hometown and retire for the rest of his life." ”

Tang Ling's face turned red with anger, she lowered her voice and roared: "You want the position of a general, why don't you tell me directly, but encourage the soldiers to come to the palace?"

"True. ”

"What?"

"Only by doing this can we be the most real, and we can deceive the people of Ningnan. ”

"Lie to the people of Ningnan?!" Tang Ling was stunned, and suddenly realized: "Your goal has never been Besa, and you have never planned to launch a second national war against Besa, from beginning to end, you just want to send troops to recruit Ningnan!"

"I have already told Xiang'er about this before, and now is the best time to send troops to destroy Ningnan. ”

"You still say that you need my support, you want me to support you to become a general?!" Tang Ling said thoughtfully. heiyaпge

"The opportunity of this war, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, whether our country can pacify Ningnan and subdue the lost territory, is also in one move, therefore, this battle needs to pour the strength of the whole country, the whole country's soldiers, if someone in the rear makes a hindrance, and there are branches, this battle will be lost, so before the war, I must first grasp the military power of the whole country, so as to ensure that this battle is foolproof. ”

Wu Peng's existence is the biggest obstacle.

"You should tell me what you think in time. Tang Ling's face softened a little.

"Then what is Xiang'er going to do? Dismiss the general for no reason?" Shangguan Xiu smiled bitterly: "The general has a life-saving grace for Xiang'er, and when the general did not make a mistake, Xiang'er suddenly asked me to replace him, wouldn't this fall into the pretext of cronyism? Moreover, if our country suddenly changes the general, the people of Ningnan will definitely be alert, and the next battle against Ningnan will not have a surprising victory effect in the early stage." ”

Tang Ling thought about it carefully and felt that it was the same reason. However, she still glanced at Shangguan Xiu and said, "Even so, you shouldn't use such an extreme method as forcing the palace!"

"As I said just now, only in this way can we be the most credible and true, and we can deceive the people of Ningnan. Shangguan Xiu said with a deep gaze.

Tang Ling came to the east city with the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, went up to the gate tower of the east city wall, raised his eyes to look outside, and saw that the black pressure outside the city was all wind army, and the number of people was so large that even if he stood at the height of the city gate tower, he could not see the edge at a glance.

The winds lined up in the battle formation of the legion, and the people sat cross-legged on the ground one by one against the sun, not moving.

The soldiers close to the city wall were the first to see a figure in a yellow dragon robe shaking on the tower of the city gate, and the people were shocked, and they looked closely. After a while, someone in the crowd exclaimed, "Your Majesty!

The news spread ten, ten, hundred, hundred, thousands, and soon, all the soldiers of the Feng Army outside the city knew the news of the emperor's visit. The soldiers no longer sat cross-legged, but knelt on the ground one after another, shouting in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The chanting of long live was higher and higher. Tang Ling, who was standing in the city gate tower, was also moved when he heard it. She held the arrow stack in her hand, waved her sleeve and said, "All the soldiers go back!"

Her voice couldn't travel far, but her movement of waving sleeves was seen by many soldiers. The people shouted in unison: "Please let your majesty give your majesty the grace of the general, let the virtuous! Please ask your majesty to return to the old man!"

"Please Your Majesty's grace to the general to let Xian! Please Your Majesty's grievances and the general to return to his hometown-"

At first, it was just a few people shouting, slowly, it became hundreds of people shouting, and then, it became tens of thousands of people shouting, and it didn't take long for 200,000 soldiers of the Wind Army to shout the same slogan, the sound was so loud and earth-shattering, and people's shouting never stopped, it seemed that as long as Tang Ling did not accept the petition of the soldiers, they would never stop, and they would continue to shout here forever.

Tang Ling's face was ugly, the ministers present had ugly faces, and Wu Peng's face was even more ugly. As a general, there is nothing more humiliating than this kind of scene. As the commander of the three armed forces, he let the soldiers below oppose it so much, what face does he have?

Cai Xiao was angry, walked to the arrow stack, and shouted outward: "You are so bold and reckless, you dare to force the palace, if you don't retreat quickly, you will be punished for the crime of rebellion!"

No one listened to him at all, and the more than 200,000 officers and men of the Feng Army all knelt on the ground and did not move, still shouting in unison: "Please let your majesty be kind to the general! Please ask your majesty to return to your hometown with grievances! Please ...... your majesty."

Cai Xiao gritted his teeth fiercely, and shouted at the generals guarding the city: "Fire!" Immediately give the order to fire at these anti-thieves outside the city!"

The general guarding the city was shocked, came back to his senses, and stammered, "Yes...... It's Lord Cai!"

As he spoke, he turned around and was about to run out of the city gate tower, when Tang Ling said in a deep voice, "Wait a minute." She turned her eyes to Cai Xiao and asked, "Is Lord Cai planning to correct the Fa on the spot with the more than 200,000 soldiers outside the city, along with the tens of thousands of soldiers in front of the palace?"

"This ...... Weichen ...... "Nearly 300,000 soldiers want to correct the Fa on the spot, which is simply ridiculous."

Cai Xiao hesitated for a long time, and finally said fiercely: "Your Majesty, no matter what, you can't let them mess around like this, you should make an example of a hundred people, and make an example!"

"Kill a hundred to make an example, in order to set an example? Lord Cai is not afraid of a sudden mutiny among the soldiers if he does this? I, I am still here!"

Tang Ling said that he was still here, firstly, he accused Cai Xiao of being too risky and putting himself, the emperor, in danger, and secondly, he was also reminding Cai Xiao that she was the one who could give orders now, not him.

Cai Xiao also realized that he was in a hurry and made the mistake of trespassing. His words were right, he knelt on the ground with a puff, kowtowed to Tang Ling, and said in a trembling voice: "Weichen's crime deserves death, please forgive your majesty!"

Tang Ling glared at him, didn't say a word, retracted his gaze, looked at the crowds of soldiers outside the city, and then looked at Wu Peng, she sighed secretly in her heart, so far, whether it is to cooperate with Shangguan Xiu's acting, or her true reaction, she can only make sacrifices.

She took a deep breath and said, "General......"

Before she could speak, Wu Peng suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Tang Ling three times in a row. Tang Ling was stunned, waved his hand and said, "What is the general doing?

"Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, you have placed great trust in Weichen and entrusted him with important tasks, ministers, I am grateful, and it is difficult to repay Your Majesty's holy grace!"

"What are you still doing in a daze, quickly help the general up!" Tang Ling said with a frown.

A minister nearby hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to help Wu Peng. The latter abruptly pushed the two ministers who stepped forward away, and then stood up from the ground with a sudden, and before the people around him could react, he returned his hand to grasp the hilt of the sword, and with the sound of the dragon sword in the sand, the three-foot green blade was unsheathed.

This situation made everyone present look horrified, their eyes were big and round, they looked at Wu Peng in disbelief, and shouted one after another: "Big ...... General, you are ......"

Seeing this, Shangguan Xiu also frowned secretly, and stood beside Tang Ling without leaving a trace, staring at Wu Peng with a torch.

Wu Peng looked around at the people present, looked up to the sky and laughed three times, his body shook, jumped deep onto the arrow stack, flipped his wrist, and carried the sword upside down, holding the long sword across his neck.

He turned his body and looked at the stunned soldiers outside the city, he raised his face and said loudly: "The ancestor of the Wu family (Wu Guang), following the Emperor Shengzu, fought in the south and the north, was born and died, and the blood was spilled on the battlefield, the Wu family has been around for four hundred years, and there are thirty-seven generals, of which twenty-five died on the battlefield, the descendants of the Wu family, never greedy for life and afraid of death, never disgraced the ancestors of the famous, although Wu Peng is not talented, but also a horse for a lifetime, after more than 100 big battles and small battles, there has never been a time to escape, Fear of the enemy, today, all the soldiers suspect that I have the heart of fear of the enemy, Peng, I should die with a clear will, with the door of the Wu family!"

As he spoke, Wu Peng swung the sword in his hand abruptly to the side, and the blade of the sword drew a cold light in the air, followed by a jet of blood light.

Many of the ministers standing in the gate tower were unable to dodge, and were spilled all over their faces by the splattered blood.

Shangguan Xiu grabbed Tang Ling, his body shook, and he retreated more than two meters away.

Tang Ling looked at Wu Peng standing on the arrow stack blankly, and in an instant, her eyes turned red.

Looking at Wu Peng again, the old man's body fell straight backwards, like a kite with a broken string, falling down the city gate tower, and with a bang, he fell to the ground outside the city.

"General......" Tang Ling muttered, his body shook and he knelt on the ground. As soon as she knelt, the ministers and soldiers present woke up like a dream, and the people followed closely and knelt down. Luo Guang, Pang Ying, Yu Tong and other generals cried silently.

Fengren has a strong temperament, especially a soldier, not to mention that Wu Peng was still born in a century-old family, for the innocence of the wind and the honor of the family, he would rather die to make his will.

For a general, he can't be forced to step down, and for Wu Peng, who was born in a famous family, his pride does not allow him to become the laughing stock of others after dinner.

Wu Peng chose to die Mingzhi, which was also unexpected by Shangguan Xiu. It turns out that Wu Peng also has his backbone!

When he had to choose between the family and himself to make a sacrifice, he did not hesitate to choose to sacrifice himself, this is the consciousness of being a nobleman and a disciple of a scholar clan.

Tang Ling returned to the palace.

Wu Peng's body was carried by the soldiers of the Wind Army on a stretcher made of spears, and the body was covered with the national flag of the Wind Country, and twenty soldiers of the Wind Army carrying the stretcher walked into the city slowly, followed by tens of thousands of wind troops, and when they entered the city, people sang the national anthem of the Wind Country: "The country is in trouble, I should go to war, the horse leather shroud, strengthen my majesty!"
