Chapter 193: Nangong Ling Sets Out
Not long after Nangong Chen's affairs passed, the war at the border gradually began to tighten.
The Turks couldn't gnaw on the hard bone of the Western Regions, so they had to go south.
The Great Yan Dynasty has been defeated and retreated, and has already lost several cities.
If you can't find a suitable handsome, sooner or later, the menacing Turks will come back to Kyoto City.
Everyone in the hall was in danger, and everyone thought of the name, but no one dared to say it.
Of course, not everyone dared to tell the truth to the emperor, and the generals who had fought knew that war was very cruel, especially for those unarmed ordinary people.
Therefore, the matter of war cannot be taken lightly.
Zhao Qi didn't care that the emperor would be angry, so he stepped forward and proposed: "Now that the Turks are menacing, why they will withdraw their troops from the Western Regions is because their border passes are garrisoned by the invincible General Wanyan Shu. ”
"The minister knows that His Royal Highness King Sheng has a bad reputation now, but the minister and others were born and died with His Highness, and they can guarantee with their lives, and His Highness is definitely not the kind of person who forgets his righteousness."
The emperor didn't speak, and looked at Zhao Qi directly with a pair of sharp eagle eyes that could see through people's hearts.
"So you mean to let me release Lao Jiu and let him go to war? What if he and my soldiers defect to the enemy? ”
Zhao Qi took a deep breath, "Why does the emperor think so?" ”
He looked strange, as if he thought the emperor had said something incredible.
"His Royal Highness King Sheng has been fighting for many years, during which he has passed by the ghost gate many times, if he is really a person who can give in for the sake of women, then why should he find guilt for himself? I hope that the emperor will not be biased when looking at a person. ”
This sentence already carried some accusations, and everyone in the hall could feel the cold air emanating from the emperor.
If Zhao Qi hadn't been a hero who had fought for the Great Yan Dynasty all his life, based on what he just said, the emperor might have asked people to cut him seven or eight times.
And there really are no other candidates at the moment.
Just when the emperor was about to let go, Nangong Chen came out a little to interrupt Zhao Qi's words.
"General Zhao is Ming Huanghuang's protection, my father has already convicted the ninth brother before, and now I will take him out of the imperial mausoleum like something, let people know, what will they think of my father?"
Zhao Qi was so angry that his forehead jumped "suddenly", and he didn't know why he couldn't take back what he said.
He was in a hurry, and even the prince scolded together, "What if you let people know?" Or did the prince feel that he had the ability to lead his troops into battle and wanted to try to go on the expedition? ”
Speaking of this, Nangong Chen immediately became dumbfounded, where did he have the ability to lead troops to fight, he didn't like the dirty environment of the military camp at the beginning, so he let Nangong Chen stuff it in.
Who knew that Nangong Chenfu had a great fate, and he would be able to escape the traps he dug again and again with these exploits in the future.
The emperor's gaze wandered over everyone in the main hall, and he finally made up his mind.
"Then do what General Zhao says."
In front of all the courtiers, the emperor wrote a holy decree and sent it to the imperial mausoleum.
Nangong Ling's news was better than anyone else in the capital, and he had long known that the Turks were about to attack.
When he received the holy decree, he was not too surprised, but his face was calm.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, now that the Turks are attacking, he specially appointed Nangong Chen, the son of sin, as a mighty general, leading an army of 100,000 to fight in the north, and he is allowed to leave the imperial mausoleum with special permission, and if he can win the battle, he can be allowed to restore the status of the prince......"
Nangong Ling didn't listen carefully to the rest of the content at all, he only knew that he was about to leave Kyoto.
Without thinking about it, I just took the order.
"The son thanked his father."
After receiving the holy decree, he almost did not hesitate, went to the barracks, hastily ordered the troops, and set off.
Before leaving, he deliberately transferred Qian Weide to the palace.
"In the future, when I am not there, you will watch the queen's mother and son for me first, and when I come back, I will definitely take their lives."
"Yes, please rest assured that the minions will definitely live up to His Highness's expectations of the minions."
It was winter, and the march became particularly difficult.
From time to time, heavy snow blocked the road, and it took almost three months to rush to the border.
And while he was on his way, several more cities were lost in front of him.
The closer you get to the war, the more you can see the people of the Dayan Dynasty who are dragging their families and fleeing in all directions.
Nangong Ling's face became more and more ugly, because she had lost a lot of territory, and the border guards couldn't lift Xu Ruoying's head.
"The last general has seen His Royal Highness King Sheng."
"Get up." Nangong Ling's voice was stunned, so that Xu Ruoying couldn't help but hang her head lower.
It's just that he waited for a long time and didn't wait for Nangong Ling's scolding, although Nangong Ling's face was ugly, he didn't say anything, just looked at the topographic map in front of him with a deep groan.
"First of all, let's talk about the defeats you have suffered in the past few months."
Xu Ruoying glanced at Nangong Ling cautiously, seeing that he really didn't mean to be humiliated, before she slowly opened her mouth and told him about the defeats she had suffered in the past few months.
"The Turks are very cunning and strong in martial arts, and our people from the Great Yan Dynasty are not their opponents at all."
In terms of size, the Turks are all eight feet tall and fierce, while the Dayans are thinner and weaker, and they have no need to fight at all.
From the point of view of strategy, the Seven Turkic Princes heard that he was a genius that was rare in a hundred years, and that strategy was naturally excellent, and they had no way to compete with it.
No matter where you can't compare to others, you will naturally lose the battle.
Xu Ruoying's voice just fell, and Nangong Ling, who had never had any intention of reproach, suddenly became difficult, "According to what you say, we don't have to fight this battle, just give them the territory of the Great Yan Dynasty?" ”
"This ...... That's not what I said......"
Nangong Ling's eyes seemed to be sandwiched with two sharp knives, "Come on, General Xu shakes the heart of the army, his heart can be punished, drag down the rod and punish the thirty military sticks, in order to set an example, this king dislikes this kind of person who has not started to sing before he starts." ”
The eyes, which were sharper than those of the falcon, turned around in the tent, and almost everyone subconsciously shrunk their necks.
"You also listen to me, don't say what you shouldn't say, since this king led the soldiers of the Great Yan Dynasty to drive the Turks away, it is okay now."
"Yes."
Nangong Ling's arrival was like a ray of hope shining into the border war shrouded in haze.
After beating the generals, Nangong Chen didn't bother to rest, and went to the camp of the wounded to take a turn, and there was no prince at all, which made people feel good.
This matter not only spread throughout the Great Yan Dynasty, but even the Turkic side knew about it.
