Chapter 184: It's Salty
In the blink of an eye, there was only one day left before the three-day period, and the Jianwei army was ready to go under Changtian's rectification, while Zhu An was waiting for Yu Hao's return in Haoyue Manor all day long.
At the same time, in the imperial study of the palace, Zhu Song looked at a table of battle reports and frowned deeply.
Dozens of battle reports were sent into the palace almost every day, which shows the fierceness of the battle ahead.
With the increasing number of battle reports, the situation at Shaheguan is becoming less and less optimistic.
Under the onslaught of the barbarian army, the number of defenders of Shahe Pass is shrinking sharply, and the soldiers are physically and mentally exhausted, and their morale is very low.
The only thing to be thankful for is that there is plenty of grain and grass in Shahe Pass, and it should be able to drag on for a while.
And Zhu Chong, the king of Pingnan, has asked Zhu Song for help more than once.
But Zhu Song really has no troops to send, and now the only one who can be mobilized is only the Zhenguan army, and there were several times when Zhu Song was impulsive, and he almost ordered the Zhenguan army to set off, but reason finally defeated the impulse.
The 100,000 people of the Zhenguan army, of which 80,000 are infantry, it will take at least half a month to reach Yunzhou, and Shaheguan will definitely fall within this half a month.
At that time, the only one who could resist the barbarian army in the entire Daqian was the Zhenguan army.
Instead of letting the Zhenguan army rush to Yunzhou, the people were sleepy and lacking, and they fought with the barbarians in the unfamiliar mountains, it was better to wait for work and put the battlefield in Wudu City.
It's not that Zhu Song doesn't want the Zhenguan army to support, but he can't do that!
Send the Zhenguan army, I am afraid that the entire Daqian will perish, and if you don't send troops, at least there will be a chance to turn the tables.
As for the Jianwei Army, it is only 20,000 recruits, which cannot solve the problem at all, and sending it is equivalent to not sending it, and the only role is to show Zhu Song's attitude of never seeking peace.
If you want to blame, you can only blame King Pingnan for the rout too quickly, and he didn't give Zhu Song time to react at all.
It's just that this has suffered the people of the four southern states, and I don't know how many people will die tragically under the blades of the barbarians.
Thinking of this, Zhu Song seemed to have a few more wrinkles on his face, and the whole person looked old.
"Your Majesty, the King of Zhenhai sent someone to ask to lead an army to support Yunzhou." At this moment, the voice of the little eunuch sounded outside the imperial study.
"Tell King Zhenhai that his 200,000 town navy must not move, even if the barbarians fight to Wudu City, he can't move! If he dares to mobilize his army without permission, I will kill him! Zhu Song shouted.
In addition to the pirates who burned and looted on the sea, there were also many merchant ships from other countries, and these people were ostensibly friendly with the Daqian, but in fact they all coveted the rich land of the Daqian.
The 200,000 town navy is already a little stretched to defend such a long coastline, and if it pulls out people to support Yunzhou, once the coastal defense line goes wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable!
"Father, why is there such a big fire?" At this moment, Princess Jianyang pushed the door and walked in.
Along with Jianyang was the Lord of Hailing.
"Ling'er has seen Your Majesty."
"No courtesy." Seeing Jianyang and Hai Ling, a smile finally appeared on Zhu Song's face.
"Your Majesty, my father is also a protector of the country, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." The Hailing County Lord hurriedly said.
She heard everything Zhu Song said just now, and she couldn't help but be scared into a cold sweat.
Zhu Song's face was solemn, and he said, "Children, don't worry about adults, do you have anything to do with me?" ”
"Father, the son learned that his father was working hard day and night on state affairs, so he specially boiled chicken soup for his father and invited him to taste it." Princess Jianyang said, putting a cup of chicken soup in front of Zhu Song.
"I have a heart."
Zhu Song's face showed a look of relief, picked up the spoon and took a sip gently, and in the next second, his face became strange.
This girl, why do you put so much salt in the soup, it's salty, salty, and there is a strange smell.
Seeing Zhu Song's expression, Jianyang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Father, what's wrong, isn't it delicious?" ”
"It's delicious, it's delicious, Jianyang has really grown up, and he knows that he feels sorry for his father." Zhu Song said, took another big sip, and drank half of the chicken soup in the cup.
Seeing that Zhu Song was drinking with relish, Princess Jianyang also laughed happily.
"Your Majesty, Yu Hao asks to see!" At this moment, the voice of the little eunuch came from outside the door.
This kid is finally back!
Zhu Song's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly shouted, "Let him in!" ”
After a while, Yu Hao pushed the door and walked in, knelt on the ground, and said, "Meet the emperor." ”
"Flat, as soon as I saw you, I had been on the road for a few days, I have chicken soup here, it was boiled by Jianyang himself, you come and taste it." Zhu Song said and handed over the chicken soup.
Zhu Song was right, Yu Hao worked non-stop all the way, day and night, to rush back to Wudu City in such a short time.
"Your Majesty, it just so happens that I'm also a little thirsty."
Although the chicken soup was drunk at first glance, Yu Hao did not dislike it, and immediately took the chicken soup and drank it all.
Princess Jianyang on the side saw that the chicken soup she had worked so hard to boil for Zhu Song was drunk by Yu Hao, and she was so angry that she stomped her feet.
"Poof!"
At this moment, Yu Hao suddenly squirted out the chicken soup in his mouth.
When spraying, Yu Hao was afraid that it would spray the emperor, so he deliberately twisted his head to the side, just aiming at Princess Jianyang.
Princess Jianyang was angry, and was suddenly sprayed with chicken soup by Yu Hao, and the whole person was stupid.
"Yu Hao!"
Princess Jianyang let out an angry roar: "What are you doing!" Even if you're not happy with me, don't spoil things, do you know how long I've been boiling this chicken soup? ”
Princess Jianyang was so angry that she was about to cry.
"I really don't blame me, it's because the chicken soup is too salty, and why does it smell like a rag, princess, did you put the rag in the pot." Yu Hao said aggrievedly.
After speaking, he glanced at Zhu Song resentfully, Zhu Song obviously knew that the chicken soup was very difficult to drink, and let him taste it, obviously wanting to deliberately fix him.
This bad old man is very bad!
The smell of rags?
Princess Jianyang was stunned, no wonder she looked for a rag after boiling chicken soup but couldn't find it, could it be that she really fell into the pot?
But since the chicken soup is so unpalatable, why did the emperor drink most of it just now?
Suddenly, Princess Jianyang reacted, and the emperor said that the chicken soup was delicious, not because it was really delicious, but because he didn't want to live up to Princess Jianyang's heart.
Thinking of this, Princess Jianyang's eyes suddenly turned red, and her eyes were full of guilt when she looked at Zhu Song.
Zhu Song also felt Princess Jianyang's eyes, and showed a kind smile to Princess Jianyang.
"Jianyang, you and Ling'er go down first, I have something to say to Yu Hao." Zhu Song waved his hand and said.
Princess Jianyang wiped her tears, did not stay any longer, and left the imperial study with the lord of Hailing.
Seeing that Princess Jianyang was gone, Yu Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, after all, she sprayed Princess Jianyang in the face just now, but fortunately she didn't care.
Otherwise, if this girl starts a fire, Yu Hao really can't bear it!
At this time, there were only Yu Hao and Zhu Song in the imperial study, and Yu Hao was not polite, so he quickly picked up the teacup on the desk and rinsed his mouth, and then waited for Zhu Song to speak.
At this moment, the smile on Zhu Song's face disappeared instantly, and was replaced by a serious face.
"Bold Yu Hao, you openly disobeyed the emperor's order and escaped the marriage contract, what crime should you be guilty of!"
