Chapter 170: Wen Qin enters Jingzhou
Cao Rong didn't expect Gao Tanglong to seize the opportunity to attack his extensive construction of the palace at this juncture, but he would really pick the time.
He was extremely unhappy in his heart, but he couldn't show it, so he had to say:
"The teacher is right, Lone knows!"
Gao Tanglong saw that although Cao Rong admitted his mistake, he did not say that he wanted to stop building the palace, and was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but Chen Qun pulled Gao Tanglong's sleeve and signaled him to stop.
Gao Tanglong had no choice but to leave this topic aside for the time being, so he said:
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Wu Guo raised the country's troops to attack our Great Wei this time, but in fact, it is not to go on a full-scale Northern Expedition, and he Wu State does not have this strength, so Chen Sikong is very right, at this time, it is necessary to choose an important minister who can fight well to sit in Jingzhou and stabilize the situation in Jingzhou as soon as possible. Although Jingzhou is good at governing the place, he is not good at using soldiers, so the battle of Jingzhou needs to choose another good general. ”
Hearing Gao Tanglong say this, Cao Shuang suddenly puffed up his chest and squeezed his eyebrows at Gao Tanglong, as if he was saying:
"Recommend me, recommend me!"
But Gao Tanglong looked like he didn't see it at all, and continued to say to Cao Rong:
"Jingzhou Thorn Shichen here, there are two candidates, I want to recommend them to Your Majesty!"
Cao Rong heard that Gao Tanglong was going to recommend candidates to himself, and immediately raised his eyebrows, happy that Gao Tanglong finally opened his mind, not to mention the stubble of Guangxiu Palace, and was willing to sincerely recommend candidates to himself, so he said very happily:
"Who does the teacher recommend? Speak quickly and listen to solitary. ”
Gao Tanglong said: "The first is Qingzhou Assassin Wang Ling, this person is Wang Yun, Sutong military, loyal to the Great Wei, four years ago, the Eastern Wu general Quan Cong led tens of thousands of troops to invade Shaobei, Wang Ling once led the army and the Eastern Wu Quan Cong battle, a big victory over Quan Cong, it can be seen that Wang Ling has the talent of the military array. ”
Hearing that Gao Tanglong's recommendation was not himself, Cao Shuang was a little disappointed, and thought to himself: "Gao Tanglong, you old horseman, can't you see that I am giving you a look?" You don't recommend me, well, see if I don't mess up the people you recommend. ”
So Cao Shuangpi didn't smile, and said with some yin and yang weirdness: "Hehe, dare to ask Lord Gao, where is Wang Ling at the moment?" Qingzhou, when Wang Ling goes to Xinye, it is estimated that the daylilies will be cold! ”
Cao Rong didn't know why Cao Shuang suddenly spoke in such a tone, and thought for a while: "Wang Ling does have the talent of military formation, but at this moment, Wang Ling is guarding Qingzhou, if he wants to transfer him to lead the army to aid the Jingzhou battlefield, I am afraid it will be too late, after all, Jingzhou Xinye is now besieged by Lu Xun's army, and it is already in danger." ”
Gao Tanglong glanced at Cao Shuang with contempt, and then arched his hand to Cao Rong and said:
"If Your Majesty thinks that Wang Ling is inappropriate, the second candidate recommended by Nachen is the champion general Wen Qin, who is in Lujiang County, Yangzhou at the moment, very close to the Jingzhou battlefield, and the distance is more suitable."
Cao Shuang didn't intend to listen to Gao Tanglong's words seriously at all, and as soon as Gao Tanglong spoke, he immediately smiled weirdly.
Cao Rong was a little puzzled, and said in his heart, isn't Wen Qin your Cao Shuang's iron buddy? Why do you want to say this, so I asked Cao Shuang:
"What? Does Zhao Bo have an opinion about the champion general Wen Qin's expedition to Jingzhou? ”
Cao Shuang reacted at this time, it turned out that Gao Tanglong recommended people from his own faction, and he was immediately very happy, and suddenly felt that Gao Tanglong, the little old man, didn't seem to be so hateful, but actually quite cute.
So Cao Shuang hurriedly replied:
"No, no, no! Your Majesty, the minister very much agreed with the champion general Wen Qin to go to Jingzhou to resist Lu Xun. ”
Cao Rong no longer paid attention to Cao Shuang, turned to look at Chen Qun and asked:
"What does Sikong-sama think?"
Chen Qun said: "Your Majesty, the champion general Wen Qin, the marksmanship is the best in the three armies, known as the prestige, since the town of Lujiang, and the Eastern Wu has also had several battles, no defeat, it can be seen that he is also a brave and resourceful person. And Lujiang is not far from Xinye, if the Lujiang part is dispatched to help Xinye, the distance is also in time, and the minister thinks it is feasible. ”
Since Chen Qun, Cao Shuang, and Gao Tanglong, the three most trusted ministers, all thought that Wen Qin could lead the army to aid Jingzhou, Cao Rong no longer hesitated, after all, in his opinion, the situation in Yangzhou was far less critical than that of Jingzhou.
So he ordered: "Order the champion general Wen Qin, lead 20,000 soldiers and horses in Lujiang, and immediately set out to aid Jingzhou." After arriving in Jingzhou, he was temporarily placed under the command of Hu Zhen, the assassin of Jingzhou, commanded the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou, repelled Lu Xun, and recovered the two cities of Xiangyang and Jiangxia! ”
"Your Majesty Shengming!" All three complimented in unison.
Three days later, the 800-mile urgent decree was sent to Lujiang, and Wen Qin, the general of the Great Wei official army guarding Lujiang, received the decree, and the decree ordered him to immediately lead his army into Yangzhou and gallop to the Jingzhou battlefield.
Along with it, there was also a handwritten letter from Cao Shuang.
In the handwritten letter, Cao Shuang proudly showed off how he finally won the opportunity to help Jingzhou for him in front of His Majesty, hoping that he could fight bravely on the battlefield of Jingzhou, and definitely repel Lu Xun and make great contributions, so that everyone in the world could see that Cao Zhaobo knew people with his eyes. As for the affairs of the DPRK and China, everything is covered by Cao Shuang, so there is no need to worry.
However, Wen Qin learned through his own news in Luoyang that Cao Shuang originally wanted to go to the Jingzhou battlefield in person, but unfortunately the emperor didn't seem to plan to send Cao Shuang. In addition, the emperor's teacher Gao Tanglong recommended himself, so he had the opportunity to fight in Jingzhou.
But after all, he is still a member of Cao Shuang's department, since Cao Shuang said that he would cover himself in the court, of course he must hug Cao Shuang's thick thighs well.
Wen Qin secretly speculated in his heart: "Judging from the meaning of the holy decree, I went to the Jingzhou battlefield this time, although I belonged to the command of Jingzhou Thorn Shi Hu Zhen, but let me command the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou, so it should be me who actually commands the army, it seems that Your Majesty is going to reuse me, choose me to fight in Jingzhou, this time I must work hard to make great achievements in Jingzhou." ”
So he hurriedly said goodbye to his wife, pinched the little face of his youngest son Wenyang, and said to him:
"Xiao Wenyang, now your sister Wenyang is in Yongzhou, and she has become the hero of the three armies, your father and I are about to go to Jingzhou, and then you are the only man left in the family, you have to take care of your mother for your father, you know?"
Xiao Wenyang couldn't understand what Wen Qin was saying, but he kept nodding stupidly.
Wen Qin touched Wen Yang's tiger-headed little head melon again.
Wen Qin's wife personally put on Wen Qin's armor and said to Wen Qin:
"Xianggong, Yuan'er sent a letter saying that she had seen Jiang Wei in Yongzhou, and she had taught Jiang Wei a few times, which shows that our daughter's martial arts are very strong, why don't you repair a book and summon Yuan'er to your side, so that it is more reassuring to go into battle with father and son."
Wen Qin said: "Yuan'er is now deeply trusted by Her Royal Highness the Princess, this is the blessing of Yuan'er, the Jingzhou battlefield is dangerous, but Yuan'er is in Yongzhou, then Jiang Weinian's kindness to his Jiang family in my Wen family back then, I will definitely leave a little thin face for my Yuan'er, so there will be no worries about my life, it is safer to let Yuan'er stay in Yongzhou." ”
Mrs. Wen Qin thought about it and felt that what Wen Qin said was reasonable, so she instructed: "That Xianggong, you should be careful when you go!" ”
Wen Qin said heartily: "Madame, rest assured, my martial arts, ordinary people are not opponents at all, if I go to Jingzhou for my husband, I will definitely make a great contribution, and the opportunity for my Wen family to prosper has come!" ”
