Chapter 8: The Dispute over the Dispatch of Troops
In the court, the military generals of Wenchen felt a little depressed, the news of the border pass, it was impossible to hide it, more than a dozen countries joined forces to send troops, and it seemed that there was more than one bad luck.
I only heard the bell chime chime, and the queen mother and the emperor went to court.
After the ministers finished saluting, the queen mother looked around: "The ministers have arrived, the war report is coming, the north has been convicted, everyone eats the country, it is time to contribute to the country, everyone will discuss first, how to solve the urgent need." ”
After hearing this, the military generals whispered to the people nearby.
"I think we should first mobilize the strength of the whole country, stop the attack on Qingfeng Mountain first, concentrate on attacking the three most dangerous countries first, repel the strongest countries, and naturally break the rest. The new Kyoto Prefecture Yin Zhang talked with Kan.
Ouyang Hengtong was determined to win Qingfeng Mountain, but he didn't want to give up easily, and said: "I don't think it can't, the people besieging Qingfeng Mountain can't be pumped for the time being, Qingfeng Mountain is going to be broken immediately, and you can't give up all your efforts, it's best to send troops later, the enemy's battle line is elongated, and then attack when the forces are dispersed, and each one will be broken."
Zhang He also did not show weakness: "Qingfeng Mountain is just some people, and it is worth making such a big move." ”
Ouyang Hengtong shook his head and said: "You don't know, I heard that the remnants of the thieves defected to Qingfeng Mountain and joined the Diao people, and if they are not eradicated, it will inevitably cause a big disaster." ”
Zhang He hurriedly said bluntly: "Marshal, when is it now, and we are still wasting our troops in these places, we are now at a very critical juncture!"
Ou and Zhang argued endlessly in the court.
The Queen Mother said: "I see that everyone has expressed their opinions, and everyone has spoken about it." ”
There are all kinds of opinions, and the Queen Mother has no intention of listening to them one by one, looking at Meng Wenxiu and saying, "What do you think of Prime Minister Meng?"
The Queen Mother asked, Meng Wenxiu had to say a few words, but he didn't dare to help Ouyang Hengtong out too clearly, and said, "Fundraising and food raising is my strength, and I am not good at how to send troops, but what Marshal Ouyang said also has a certain amount of truth." ”
The Queen Mother was angry when she heard this, but she didn't show it: "The matter is urgent, let's take the proposal as soon as possible, I think we will first take out all the people who have surrounded Qingfeng Mountain, mobilize the soldiers and horses of the prefectures and counties across the country, and the generalissimo will personally lead the north to resist the enemy, and the prime minister Meng Wenxiu will be responsible for the supply of money and food." Ouyang Hengtong's face was full of helplessness.
The emperor was already young, and the adults were not interested in the things they were discussing, so he was bored, and said to the queen mother: "Queen Mother, I'll go out to play, okay?"
The Queen Mother was angry, and her voice was stern: "No, you know how to play! ”
The emperor had never been so reprimanded, and he cried.
The Queen Mother also didn't care about it and reiterated: "At this critical juncture, my Great Xia Kingdom does not have many troops, and the people of Qingfeng Mountain should be transferred back as soon as possible, and there must be no mistake." ”
After speaking, the Queen Mother announced her retirement from the court.
After retreating from the court, Zhang He just went home, and the next person came to report, and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Jiang Zhao, came to visit.
Zhang He met in the living room, and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites was under the management of the Ministry of Rites, and his position was one level shorter than that of the Prime Minister, because the Ministry of Rites was unmanned, Jiang Zhao was actually in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and the two had a good relationship and often corresponded with each other.
After taking a seat, Jiang Zhao said: "Fu Yin, how can I argue with Ouyang Hengtong today, this is obviously a feud, it's a big trouble, I can't fight Prime Minister Wen, I don't think it's wise." ”
Zhang He said: "I don't want to, but this is what the Queen Mother means, if not, I will sin the Queen Mother again." ”
"I see, they are between brothers and sisters, and we outsiders are mixed in, and once they are reconciled, they are not human beings inside and out. Jiang Zhao was still very worried.
Zhang He was a little puzzled: "Now I think there is something delicate between the two brothers and sisters, the former commander of the palace guards was Ouyang Bokun, and he has been replaced, even the four guards of Kyoto have been changed, and they only listen to the orders of the Queen Mother." ”
Jiang Zhao suggested: "I think it's best not to get involved in this situation and become someone else's pawn." ”
Zhang He sighed and said: "Alas, I can't either, we can't stay out of it, at this time we are other people's pawns, we can't control our own fate, but I can't see Ouyang Tong's actions." Zhang He was indignant, "A complete traitor, the enemy has come over, and there are no troops, but I still obey the Queen Mother in my heart." ”
Many times people can't control their own fate, they will become other people's chess pieces, and sometimes they also treat others as their own chess pieces, so that life is like chess, and the world is like chess.
Jiang Zhao nodded and said: "My opinion is the same as yours, it's just that Ouyang Hengtong has a heavy army, I don't want to cause trouble, life is just a few decades, and it's best to be safe." ”
Zhang He said: "People can't be selfish, don't care about the safety of the country, can't just want their own safety, and don't care about the safety of the country. ”
The two have different views, but it does not prevent the two from becoming friends. The two drank and chatted at home, discussing current affairs in the world.
After Ouyang Hengtong went home, shortly after changing clothes, Deputy Marshal Ma Long and military advisor Zeng Yi came, and the two sat down after saluting.
Deputy Marshal Ma Long asked, "Will all the people who attack Qingfeng Mountain be transferred away tomorrow?" Deputy Marshal Ma Long attended the court meeting today.
Ouyang Hengtong said slowly: "Tomorrow, you will personally go to Qingfeng Mountain and storm Qingfeng Mountain for five days, and then bring people back." Ouyang Hengtong said in an accentuated tone: "If you can't break through, leave 30,000 elite soldiers to continue the siege and hand it over to Ouyang Yubo to personally command." ”
Deputy Marshal Ma Long said: "The queen mother in the court has agreed, don't be afraid of her"
Ouyang Heng channel: "Queen Mother, I will deal with it, others may not know about this, and no one dares to say it if they do, it's okay to delay it for three or five days." ”
Seeing the two away, Ouyang Hengtong called his youngest son and explained the matter. returned to the inner room, and Ouyang Hengtong's concubine Yu Ying diligently changed her clothes, pinched her shoulders, and beat her feet. Ouyang was satisfied with these services, and his whole body relaxed. He said to himself, "I'll go to Qingfeng Mountain tomorrow in person." ”
Yu Ying slapped and said: "Qingfeng Mountain is left with Wen Angong's youngest son, you can use so many people, and you are too tired to go in person." ”
Ouyang Heng channel: "You don't know, Wen Angong's youngest son has Wen Angong's book on him." ”
Yu Ying said disdainfully: "It's just a book, it's a golden book, and it deserves so much attention from you." ”
"I still lack gold and silver, this book is very important, more valuable than gold and silver", Ouyang Heng channel.
Yu Ying was curious: "More important than gold and silver treasures? What kind of book is it?"
Ouyang Hengtong paused for a while: "This is a book that can be cultivated to become an immortal."
Yu Ying asked, "There is such a book, can you really cultivate to become an immortal!"
Ouyang Hengtong knew everything about the concubine: "Wen Angong's kung fu was worse than me back then, since I inadvertently got this book, my martial arts have improved by leaps and bounds, and I have killed very strong enemies in every battle, which can be said to be invincible and has made great contributions." ”
Yu Ying interrupted, "Where did you know that he got this immortal book, and are you sure that this is an immortal book?"
"When I first got this book, several of his personal soldiers saw it, and I just learned that I have been working on this book for so many years, do you know, I have placed someone next to him, Wen Angong has been hiding deep enough for so many years, and he has not found this book, and he also asked for it, if I had obtained this book in the first place, maybe I would have let him go. Ouyang chattered.
Yu Ying suddenly realized: "I finally know why you want to kill Wen Angong." Yu Ying was a little puzzled, and asked puzzledly: "Isn't Wen Angong the same as if he didn't cultivate to become an immortal, and he wasn't killed by you?"
Ouyang Heng sighed: "You don't understand this, if it takes a long time, it will be difficult to ensure that he will not become an immortal, and when he is in his fifties, you can see that he is still light and healthy, and his face is ruddy." You don't know how much trouble it took to arrest him on the night, my Four Tigers Legion was defeated by him alone, three of the Four Tigers of the Four Tigers Legion were killed and one was seriously injured, and Yue Teng was the first warrior in the whole army."
The wind was howling outside, the temperature had dropped a lot, and although there was a charcoal fire, it still made people feel cold. Yu Ying said: "On such a cold day, you still don't go, it's too tiring to run back and forth." ”
Ouyang Hengtong listened to the wind howling like a wolf, thought for a while and said, "I still won't go tomorrow" After speaking, he went to the kang.
