Chapter 126: Wei Yan's Choice
The letter arrived in Wei Yan's hands on the third day, and Song Ming obviously felt that it was very likely that Wei Yan would not receive it if he went around from Granny Mo, and he didn't sign it anyway, so he sent it directly to the Wei army's camp, and said that it was a letter sent by Concubine Ding.
Wei Yan took the letter, his hands trembled, and he knew that it was impossible for An Ruo to risk his life to save him, so he took the initiative to follow Fang Ce and leave.
"Who sent it? Can you leave people behind? ”
"It's a farmer, and he said that there was a mighty-looking man who asked him to deliver the letter, and promised to give him ten taels of silver, and paid half of it, and let us ask for the remaining half from us, and he waited for the money to be collected, and never left."
Wei Yan was a little disappointed, obviously the other party had made all the preparations, this farmer was afraid that he didn't know anything.
"Just give him the money, send the man away, and follow quietly to see if anything is wrong."
After Wei Yan finished instructing, he opened the letter and checked it, only to find that the tone inside did not look like it was written to himself at all.
"Mobei has recovered the border."
Wei Yan's heart chuckled, so this was the information that An Ruo tried his best to let him know!
"Come on, convene the generals in the army to discuss the matter."
The soldiers of the Wei Dynasty are not tolerant of the cold, and they are not able to compare the advantages of local combat in Mobei, if Mobei recovers the border again, the Mobei army will only be more numerous than they expected, and the strength will be stronger, but I am afraid that if this battle starts, they will lose a large number of soldiers, and it is difficult to say whether the soldiers of the Wei Dynasty can hold the border of Mobei at that time.
After Wei Yan announced the latest news to everyone, what he got was not the way everyone thought, but the questioning of the source.
"Your Majesty, this information is accurate, if the Mobei Army incorporated Bianjung at the beginning, how could it be that all the soldiers didn't reveal a word, didn't they care about the addition of officials to the knighthood?"
"The minister heard that this letter was sent by Concubine Ding, this is not to say that Concubine Ding's mother is ill in the harem, how can she send such a message, I am afraid that this letter is fraudulent."
"Could it be that the rumors are true, this concubine really went to Mobei?"
"I'm afraid that the enemy deliberately sent a bewilderment bomb in order to reduce the momentum of our army."
……
Wei Yan rubbed his forehead, he couldn't tell everyone the fact that An Ruo was taken away by Fang Ce, even if such rumors had been spread, but as long as he insisted that An Ruo was still sick in the harem, An Ruo's identity was unquestionable, and he had to protect An Ruo in this way, otherwise when An Ruo was taken back to the harem in the future, the entire court would not accommodate An Ruo's existence.
Had it not been for his intimate familiarity with An Ruo's handwriting, he himself would have doubted the authenticity of this letter.
"You don't have to worry about the authenticity of the news, you just need to tell me how to deal with it."
All the generals closed their mouths together, the most courageous in the entire Wei Dynasty was the Mobei Army, the most outstanding general was the rebellious Prince Xian, and the second-class General Geng also died tragically at the birthday banquet that day.
They are all military generals, they have fought with General Geng for so many years, and General Geng ended up with such an ending, but the emperor is still biased towards the harem concubines, do they really have no complaints in their hearts?
Wei Yan looked over one by one and sneered: "Questioning the authenticity of the information, you are enthusiastic, why did you talk about the way to deal with it, and one by one it became a gourd with a sawing mouth?" ”
Under Wei Yan's questioning, a general finally stood up and said, "Your Majesty, if the Mobei Army absorbs Bianrong, the minister suggests that the Lord make peace." ”
"Prince Xian is the god of war in the hearts of all the soldiers of the Wei Dynasty, and now he wants to fight against his own god of war, he is already cowardly for three points, and then with the blessing of Bian Rong, I am afraid that this expedition will not be profitable."
"Yes, Your Majesty, if the foundation of our Wei Dynasty is completely damaged, how can it be good?"
"Our treasury is not rich now, and I am afraid that it will not be able to support a protracted war, and if civil strife resumes, we will have no peace, and the people will complain."
"Ministers, please think twice about the emperor and focus on the overall situation!"
Wei Yan looked at the group of rabble kneeling below, and sneered: "Then do you think that if we retreat, the Mobei Army will retreat in the Mobei realm and be safe with us?" ”
Of course not!
None of the generals present forgot that the small detachment of the Mobei Army entered the palace with Prince Xian that day. Prince Xian is simply intent on the throne, how can there be a truce.
But is there a way?
No matter how they calculate, this battle will be lost, and they can't persuade the emperor to give up the throne to Prince Xian, right?
This meeting ended with Wei Yan brushing his sleeves away, and the fact that Mobei had absorbed Bian Rong quickly spread throughout the army, and the morale that had just been raised because of Wei Yan's personal expedition was once again sluggish.
Wei Yan returned to his tent and stroked the letter sent by An Ruo over and over again, his eyes full of struggle.
What those generals said was not completely unreasonable, after this battle, even if the Wei army would not be defeated, at most it would only be able to fight for a situation where both sides were injured, which was not the result he wanted to see.
But An Ruo sent such a letter, and now everyone in the army knows that Fang Ce has been in the DPRK for many years, and he has not been able to remove all the hidden stakes so far, and such news will definitely reach Fang Ce's ears.
If he stopped this battle and settled down with Fang Ce for the time being, how would An Ruo be treated?
Wei Yan closed his eyes, his heart full of struggle.
On the second day, Wei Yan sent a letter to Fang Ce, agreeing that two days later, face-to-face negotiations would be held at the foot of the mountain where the two armies were separated.
And Fang Ce, who received the letter, was forcing An Ruo in the corner of the bed.
"Huh! You really took great pains, and while being false to me, you told Wei Yan the news that I had incorporated Bian Rong. Now that the war will not start, Wei Yan took the initiative to sue for peace, how about it, are you satisfied? ”
An Ruo was trying to reduce her presence as much as possible, and Fang Ce looked like he was going to kill her just now.
"At this time, the war is a catastrophe for you, Wei Yan, or the people of Mobei and Great Wei. Fang Ce, even with the help of Bian Rong, even if you designed to kill the most warlike general Geng of the Wei Dynasty, you are not sure that you will be able to win this battle, are you? Wouldn't it be nice for you to sit down and talk, even if it's just a temporary peace, to give both sides a respite? ”
"I didn't expect that An Ruo is the one who has entered the play the most, it's just a game, these people who have suffered from the war are just NPCs, you actually feel sorry for them? It doesn't matter if this battle is not fought, otherwise Mobei's vitality will be greatly damaged, and he will not be able to chase the Central Plains in the future. But have you ever thought about what kind of punishment you will receive for betraying me like this? ”
An Ruo swallowed his saliva and said stiffly: "Let you dispose of it." ”
