Chapter 003: Commanding the Expedition
"Hahahaha! Joyfully! When I thought of Ji Ling's old puppet's precious daughter, who would soon be the general's concubine, I was extremely happy, come and have a toast! ”
Wu Liang, the same generation as Ji Zhong, although he was born handsome, he likes to keep a small mustache, which makes him even more cunning when he has some jade-faced fox statues, at this time he is drinking flower wine with fox friends and dog friends, after listening to his words, men and women all got up to toast with him, for fear of missing the sycophant!
"Congratulations to General Wu, if it weren't for General Shenwu, he rushed into the enemy formation and took Ji Ling's corpse back, I'm afraid that he will expose the corpse wilderness at that time, and the other party is estimated to use this as a bargaining chip to make some unreasonable demands. Now the general is worthy of a beautiful woman, it is really a match made in heaven! Come, a cup of the little general, I wish the general a high step by step, and give birth to a noble son early! ”
"Don't talk about state affairs at the wine table, you kid don't talk nonsense!"
Wu Liang staggered his wine glass, pretending to be a little drunk, but everyone didn't dare to make a sound when they heard it!
"Haha...... But one thing you are right about is that Your Majesty's marriage is a match made in heaven! Rejoice with all of you! Come on, drink! ”
Wu Liang, who had a glass of wine, knew in his heart that if he leaked out of this matter, he would not say that his father would not even protect him from His Majesty, and now there is no turning back!
"Mother! Lan'er doesn't want to get married! ”
Seeing her daughter's extremely reluctant appearance, why not Wang Junyi? But the holy decree can't be violated, and I can't bear to marry my daughter from now on, and I have to look at my husband when I am so anxious!
"Marry! Why don't you get married? That's a marriage given by His Majesty, how can you resist the decree? ”
Seeing his father's attitude, Ji Zhong couldn't help but wonder, is the father in front of him who has not changed his appearance his real father, who is the daughter who loves him the most on weekdays, but now he sees his sister sad and sad, but he still pushes her into the fire pit? Ji Zhong couldn't figure it out, got up and said:
"Father, have you forgotten Wu Liang's temperament? The child heard that someone saw it in the morning that Wu Liang came out of the Qinglou again, how can such a bad person be worthy of his sister? Besides, my sister is the daughter of Jiangmen, why did she succumb to a concubine? ”
How could Ling Ling not know Wu Liang's character, but how could he let go of this great opportunity? explained his thoughts to them at the moment, Ji Zhong and Ji Lan were overjoyed, only Wang Junyi was a little worried!
"That being the case, the father, the child will help my sister go to the National Teacher's Mansion to return the gift!"
"Hmmm! Go ahead! Remember to double up! ”
"The child understands!"
After bowing his hand, Ji Zhong glanced at Ji Lan and left, although Wang Junyi saw Ling Ling's strategizing, he was still worried that the situation would not go as he wished!
"Husband? Is there a perfect way to do this? If Wu Liang finds out about the fake death, wouldn't he be guilty of bullying the king? At that time, it will be convenient for his wife to follow her husband, but her grandson is still in infancy, Lan'er has not yet married, Zhong'er and Jing'er are still young, how can you bear to affect them? ”
After listening to Wang Junyi's words, Ling Ling finally understood why Ji Ling was full of dedication to the country, the so-called country, how can a country be home if it does not exist? For the sake of his family, he can sacrifice his head for Tanhe, but unfortunately he overestimated the ability of Emperor Qiling, and only the incompetent would think that sacrificing one person can settle the world, but they don't know that the mouth of jackals, tigers and leopards can be satisfied by one person?
"Madam, relax, if I go to the court to ask for my life at that time, attribute the fake death to the Holy Lord's conspiracy, and then take command of the battle, the Holy Lord will not blame me!"
"How can you be so sure? What if ......"
Ling Ling knew her worries, but he didn't spend half a year leisurely, when he was studying territorial issues in the study, he never forgot to let Ji Zhong report on the military situation of all parties, the situation was not very optimistic, in half a year, Emperor Qiling lost one-third of the country, and he dared to call himself the emperor to the outside world? It's ridiculous! His father, Emperor Qiyang, died on the battlefield, but his son didn't know the truth of ending the war with war, and the old general tearfully thought to himself that it was not despair, but ulterior motives!
"Madame, don't worry too much, now that the alliance of Zhao, Wu, Wei, Wei, and the Four Nations has invaded the territory of Qi State, our army is losing and retreating, Your Majesty is afraid that I will crawl out of the grave, how can you condemn me? Unless he wants to give up the country to others! ”
"But Daddy, these four countries are attacking Qi Kingdom, how can Daddy resist alone?"
"I'd be a little anxious if it only came to one country, but it came four? That's a lot easier. I have arranged for you not to worry about this matter, go and prepare for the marriage! ”
Ling Ling said that, and Wang Junyi and Ji Lan didn't bother anymore!
After that, on the day of Ji Lan's marriage, Ling Ling married into the National Teacher's Mansion instead of Ji Lan according to the rules that the concubine did not need to worship the door, but could only follow the rules of the sideways. Ling Ling thought that even if he couldn't scare Wu Liang to death, he would have to castrate him, so as not to fight Ji Lan's idea again in the future!
However, the purpose of his trip is not to take revenge, he just wants to teach the other party a lesson, if he does things absolutely, it is not conducive to easing the contradiction between the two governments, Ling Ling only wants to protect Ji Ling's family, and other things should be put aside for the time being!
The next day, the news that Wu Liang was beaten and falsely passed on the holy decree was that he coveted Ji Lan, the daughter of the old general, and actually forged the holy decree to force marriage when the old general faked his death to deceive the enemy, and has now been punished by the old general!
"Your Majesty, the old minister has been wronged!"
When Wu Kui, the national teacher of the dynasty, knelt in front of him and shouted grievances, if Liu Chong (Emperor Qiling) was usually the master for him, but today in this apse is not only the two of them, and Liu Chong is in such a situation, it is all due to the unfavorable handling of Wu Kui's father and son, not for the sake of his daughter, Liu Chong really wants to whip Wu Kui, and he has relieved his personal anger!
"That's it! I know, the matter of false transmission of the holy decree has nothing to do with Wu Guoshi, get up! See who's next to you? ”
Hearing what Liu Chong said, Wu Yu didn't feel right? It was obviously the holy decree personally issued by his son-in-law Liu Chong, but he said that the false holy decree had nothing to do with him? Wu Yu thanked the Holy Grace and got up to take a look, and just met Ling Ling's eyes,
"I haven't seen the national teacher for a long time, don't come unharmed?"
At this greeting, Wu Yu was so frightened that he jumped back and staggered a few steps!
"Ji Ling? How did you......? ”
Wu Yu immediately felt that something was wrong, before he said that Ji Ling could settle the world, but he lost nearly half of the land after the peace talks failed, and now Ji Ling is not dead, Liu Chong is also pretending to be confused, it seems that the situation is not good!
"How does General Ji plan to retreat from the enemy? Now that Zhao, Wu, Wei, and Wei have joined forces and have invaded nearly half of the territory of our Qi country, can the old general have a good plan? ”
"Hmmm! Back to Your Majesty, the alliance of the four kingdoms of Zhao, Wu, Wei, and Wei, they think that they are the king of Qinse and Pipa, but they don't know that in the eyes of the old ministers, they are just the four little ghosts! ”
Liu Chongyi was interested in Ling Lingsu when he heard it, but Wu Yu didn't think so.
"Humph! Who wouldn't brag? ”
Liu Chong glanced at him, Wu Yu didn't dare to speak anymore, Ling Ling didn't pay attention to him, stroked his beard and showed Liu Chong Bingming, his research results in the past six months, this statement took two incense injections (about half an hour), Liu Chong was very happy after listening to it!
"Good! According to General Ji's arrangement, tomorrow morning, I will crown you as the generalissimo of the expedition to the west, and the three armies will be rectified and the four-nation alliance will be sent out in a few days! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty! The matter has been clear, the old minister will retire first, and then talk to His Majesty tomorrow morning! ”
Liu Zhong waved his hand, Ling Ling left the apse, took Ji Zhong, who had been waiting outside the hall, and returned to the general's mansion, on the way, both of them did not say a word, Ji Zhong also knew that the big thing had been accomplished, but this war was together, I don't know if I can still watch Ji Xiao (Ji Zhong's son who was born not long ago) grow up!
The two didn't go long before Wu Xiao began to be a demon!
"Your Majesty, isn't it a crime of deception that this Ji Ling is not dead? Why is Your Majesty subject to him? Think ......"
"Enough!"
At this time, Liu Chong was completely angry and kicked Wu Yu to the ground!
"Do you know what Ji Ling said to me before I passed you over?"
Wu Yu hurriedly got up and knelt on the ground, thinking that he had never seen Liu Chong have been so angry, could it be that Ji Ling said something bad about himself, or Ji Ling threatened His Majesty again to force him to agree to send troops to fight?
"Your Majesty is angry, angry! Where is there any place to use the old minister, the old minister will bow to his majesty and die! ”
"Humph! Needless, when you were still seeking power, General Ji Ling had already come up with a strategy to break the enemy; By the time you spoke to me, the old general had already led his troops into battle; When your son wanted to occupy the old general's daughter, the old general told me regardless of his previous suspicions, and he said that I was not wrong, but what was wrong was that I did not use the sword and gave in without a fight; He also told me that since ancient times, the emperor has hegemony, when the benevolent person is the first, the sword is guarded, and the rule is governed by the law, I have all three, but I just listen to slander and self-destruct the sword, and the sword in my hand is gone, and others don't come to rob you, who will rob you? Wu Yu, who do you say to rob? ”
At this time, Wu Yu broke out in a cold sweat, he didn't expect Ji Ling to praise Liu Chongren for loving the people, and at the same time, he really gave him a ginseng, although he didn't name him, but the reason why His Majesty broke the sword in his hand was not because of him? Only then did Wu Kui understand that the words of the envoys of the four countries were all lies, Ji Ling was good if he died, but now he is not dead, he is the unlucky one!
"The old minister is guilty! The old minister is guilty! ”
"Shut up! It's not your turn to convict! ”
This time when he entered the palace, Wu Yu wanted to ask for an explanation for his son, so that the general's mansion would suffer a little, and it was best not to turn over forever, but he never thought that his son was not talking nonsense, Ji Ling was indeed alive and did not say it, he was also unlucky, and he thought that it would not work to rely on the old and sell the old, so he had to wait for Liu Chongfa to fall!
"National teacher, you better be your national abbot! You're not too old, so stay at home! Tomorrow morning will not be used! ”
"Your Majesty~"
Wu Yu knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously to thank him, but Liu Chong didn't let him get up, and left the apse with a flick of his sleeves!
At this point, Ling Ling took command of the Western Expedition to defeat the Four Nations Alliance, because Ling Soul had learned about modern history before, he admired the instructor with soldiers like a god, and now he led the troops for the first time, and he followed the instructor's interspersed tactics with more victories and less, in this era of backward communications, the tactics of outflanking and encircling the point to send reinforcements can be said to have been played to the extreme, and the four countries that fought in three years have sent envoys to sue for peace, although there have been envoys to sue for peace before, but this time it is mainly anti-guest!
The capital sent an armistice agreement, Ling Ling stood on the wall of the pass, looking at the territory he had recovered, he was very relieved, he didn't think that he would be able to fight for the country one day, and it only took three years to end the war, half of the time earlier than expected, looking at the great rivers and mountains that had been recovered, thinking that it was time to live in peace, right?
"Look! It's a cultivator! ”
Listening to the shout of the city defense soldiers, everyone looked up at the sky, Ling Ling looked up, only to see four young men in gray robes, one of them stepping on a flying sword flying over his head quickly, this look, the corners of Ling Ling's mouth rose slightly, because he knew what he should do next.
