In the tent, Zhao Xuanqi was sitting precariously, ignoring the dusty eunuch in front of him, he looked down at the holy decree brought by the great eunuch, and was a little stunned for a while.

"The Son of Heaven is seriously ill, the government is in chaos, and the rear is unstable."

"Twelve gold medals, begging me to retire and go back?"

The great eunuch Mo was about forty years old, he was very tall, ruddy-complexion, and belonged to the absolute cronies of Emperor Qinglong, who had been taken care of by him since he was a child.

With a sad look on his face, he replied respectfully, "Master, that's true." ”

"More than a month ago, His Majesty was seriously ill and suddenly fell asleep, and he was unable to deal with state affairs later, and his body was weakening day by day. I guess not! ”

His message was heavy.

So much so that Zhao Xuanqi's heart was shocked.

After only half a year of sending troops, it was seen that the country was about to be destroyed, and he would receive such news.

But Emperor Qinglong has always been in good health, he can usually jump and jump, and he doesn't necessarily get sick at all, why did he suddenly become seriously ill and die?

Moreover, twelve gold medals.

Why is this plot so similar to Yue Fei?

He was confused for a while, his mood went up and down, his face sank, and he slapped the crime suddenly.

Asked loudly: "Is this news true or false?" Your Majesty, what exactly does he think? ”

The big eunuch was so frightened by Zhao Xuanqi's violent reaction that he knelt directly on the ground, cried and complained, and kowtowed respectfully:

"Taishi, Wu Anjun, the old slave vouched for his life, this news is absolutely true, there is no half-false."

"The old slave is a close confidant of His Majesty, and he always takes care of His Majesty's life, this news is absolutely true, there is no falsehood, but if the old slave has half a lie, the old slave would rather cut it with a thousand knives!"

Zhao Xuanqi stared at the big eunuch with a dead gaze, seeing that he really didn't have the slightest lie, and his heart sank.

There are two possibilities.

One: Emperor Qinglong is really seriously ill, and it has reached the point where it is urgent, and the rear is in turmoil.

Two: Emperor Qinglong pretended to be seriously ill, and even his cronies and eunuchs were concealed by him, and there was an ulterior conspiracy.

If the news is true, Emperor Qinglong is really seriously ill, with him just pro-government, he has not completely stabilized the government, and he is far away in another country, if no one presides over the rear, the rear will definitely be in chaos!

If the news is false, Emperor Qinglong pretends to be seriously ill and orders himself to withdraw his troops when he is about to break the country, which is definitely not good, not only may the country be broken, but it may also cause shocking chaos!

Whether this news is true or fake, this is completely bad news!

Zhao Xuanqi was in turmoil.

I don't know if I should be sad or not.

For many years, he has always regarded Emperor Qinglong as his own disciple and son, and even delayed his own children's education in order to educate Emperor Qinglong...

If the news is true, then his dearest and most beloved proud disciple, the master of Zhongxing who has been cultivated, has fallen into a critical illness...

If the news is false, this emperor is very well disguised, seems to be close to himself, but in fact, he has hidden the blade, and he has deceived himself.

Now that this situation is suddenly happening, Zhao Xuanqi didn't know what to do for a while.

Only those who are in the game can understand this complex emotion.

Should I retire?

This most important choice is in front of Zhao Xuanqi.

He sighed:

"Summoning the generals and soldiers of the army, as well as a few scribes, come to the big tent of the Chinese army to discuss matters!"

This choice is not only the choice of Zhao Xuanqi alone, but also the choice of the entire Northern Wei State Southern Expedition team.

It is necessary to seek everyone's opinion, otherwise a mishandling may erupt into a big mess.

"Yes!"

The cronies beside him slowly retreated.

It didn't take long for more than a dozen generals to hurriedly come to the big tent of the Chinese army, and those gentlemen and strategists that Zhao Xuanqi had summoned before also arrived.

They looked at Zhao Xuanqi sitting on the main seat, with a dull face, which was so gloomy that it could drip water, and they also guessed that something was wrong.

Judging from the people in the big tent, all the high-level leaders of the Southern Expedition of the Northern Wei Kingdom have arrived this time, and it is definitely not a good thing to be able to make all the high-level gather, plus Wu Anjun's complexion at the moment!

Therefore, one by one, the generals, one as a strategist, did not make too much noise, and took their seats one after another, and then waited for Zhao Xuanqi to speak.

"I think you can all see that there is something very important to discuss this time."

Zhao Xuanqi spoke slowly.

Then slowly tell the news of the great eunuch to everyone.

Tell everyone word for word.

The content of the holy decree, as well as the matter of the twelve gold medals, was completely stated.

"The destruction of the country is imminent, and the cause of Qianqiu is about to be unified, how can Your Majesty happen to be seriously ill? And it takes twelve gold medals, so urgently......"

The generals and strategists raised objections one after another.

All at once there was an endless quarrel.

The whole tent became like a vegetable market, and it was noisy.

Seeing this, Zhao Xuanqi committed the crime with one shot.

"Silence!"

"I didn't let you come over and quarrel this time."

"It's not for you to discuss whether this news is true or not, let's just assume that this is true news, I just want to invite you over to discuss whether to withdraw from the army?"

Seeing Zhao Xuanqi angry, the tent instantly became quiet, so quiet that it seemed that the sound of dropping a needle could be heard.

But the peace was soon shattered.

Immediately, a general stood up, clasped his fists and saluted, and said, "Wu Anjun, my subordinates think that they can't retreat." ”

"It won't be long before we can break the capital of Southern Zhao and complete the ...... of unification for thousands of years"

"This kind of great cause is right in front of you, how can you withdraw from the army?"

"Then in the past six months, we have been fighting in the south and the north, and we have been fighting everywhere, isn't it a failure?"

"What are we fighting for? What do we eat and sleep out for? Isn't it just for the unification of the family and the country? This achievement is at your fingertips, wouldn't it be a fool to retire! ”

Other generals also stepped forward and continued to support this opinion.

Some generals with violent personalities even scolded:

"In my opinion, Your Majesty is definitely afraid of Wu'an Jungong's high achievements, and is afraid that you will establish another country after breaking through the city, and you are absolutely uneasy and kind!"

"If we return to the Northern Wei Kingdom after we withdraw from the army, we will definitely be taken away from the military power, and Wu Anjun, you will definitely not end well, and you will probably live and die on the spot!"

"Your Majesty really doesn't know what to do, we have worked hard to fight for our family and country, he doesn't believe us, he doesn't believe Wu Anjun, we can't go back like this!"

"We must break through the Southern Zhao Kingdom, and then go back, we can't give up this great cause, whether there is a chance next time is not certain!"

It can be seen that many of them do not believe that Emperor Qinglong is seriously ill, Emperor Qinglong is young and cannot be seriously ill, and they all think that Emperor Qinglong definitely has some ulterior conspiracy, and he must not withdraw from the army.

Even if some of them believed that Emperor Qinglong was really seriously ill, they completely disagreed with the withdrawal of the army, and they could not let the southern and northern wars in the past six months become a no-brainer.

Among these generals, more than ninety percent of them are not in favor of withdrawing from the army, even if Emperor Qinglong is seriously ill, he will not withdraw from the army, even if he is not seriously ill, he will not withdraw from the army, anyway, he will not withdraw from the army!

For the exploits of breaking the country, they are already eager to see through.

But there are also objections:

"The subordinates think they should retire."

"If the news is true, Your Majesty is seriously ill, once Your Majesty dies of illness, and I have not retreated at all, there is no Wu'an monarch to manage the government, the rear will be in chaos, the Northern Wei Kingdom will be in chaos, we are in the enemy country, once the food is cut off, this is a mortal danger."

"Even if the news is false, Your Majesty pretended to be seriously ill and forced Wu Anjun to return to the country, this is also the emperor's order, the emperor's order cannot be disobeyed, if Wu Anjun violates this order, this is disobeying the king's order! Even if you conquer the enemy country, there will be absolutely no good fruit to eat. ”

"Disobeying the orders of the Son of Heaven has been a great sin since ancient times, and what can be done to break the enemy country? Maybe not only will they not have their military exploits, but they will end up disobeying the king's orders, and they will be ......imprisoned if they can't eat and walk around."

"Only by following His Majesty's orders, no matter what the outcome is, is the best choice, Wu Anjun will not make mistakes, will not be truthful, and can he be wise and protect himself."

For a time, the two sides debated whether they should withdraw their troops or not, and they quarreled to the death.

But it can be seen that more than eighty percent of the people are unwilling to withdraw from the army, and more than eighty percent of these people are Zhao Xuanqi's cronies, and they are all the teams pulled up by Zhao Xuanqi himself.

The other two percent of the people who asked to withdraw from the army were most of the characters cultivated by Emperor Qinglong over the years, and they all hoped that Zhao Xuanqi could follow Emperor Qinglong's orders and return to China, so that they would attack again next time.

Zhao Xuanqi was so noisy that his head was big.

He couldn't figure out what was going on on Emperor Qinglong's side at all.

"It's all quiet!"

So, the whole big account quieted down.

The generals and strategists stopped talking.

They knew that no matter how much they quarreled with the others, it would be useless, and the real right to decide was on Wu Anjun, and only this Wu Anjun had the final right to choose.

Even if the quarrel breaks the sky, the final decision will only lie with Wu Anjun, who has absolute faith in the army.

Everyone fell into silence, their eyes were on Zhao Xuanqi, waiting for Zhao Xuanqi's choice, and all eyes were on for a while.

Zhao Xuanqi stood up and tossed back and forth in the big tent, turning back and forth, anxious in his heart.

Eventually, he calmed down.

Willing to believe in Emperor Qinglong.

He is willing to trust his instincts.

After many years of getting along, he felt that Emperor Qinglong was not the kind of person who lied, nor was he the kind of person who was good at disguise.

Emperor Qinglong is kind.

He almost grew up watching Emperor Qinglong, and he also cultivated it since he was a child, if Emperor Qinglong is really scheming, then he is not a human, but a monster, this news is true!

Emperor Qinglong should be really seriously ill, and he has reached a very critical point, so he urged himself to go back so much.

If he doesn't go back, once Emperor Qinglong, who has not been in power for a long time, has an accident, the rear will be absolutely chaotic.

Once there is an accident in the government and the food supply is cut off, and the self and others in the enemy country will definitely not end well.

Only by going back to preside over the government affairs, stabilizing the central government affairs, and stabilizing the hearts of the people is the best choice.

Take 10,000 steps back, Emperor Qinglong is really a demon, he has been able to pretend to be so perfect since he was a child, and if he is seriously ill is a fake news, he will not be good this time, and he will have to go back.

The comer is not good, even if Zhao Xuanqi leads the troops to break the enemy country, he will end up disobeying the king's order, and if he makes a fuss in this regard, Zhao Xuanqi will not do any good.

Only by retreating from the army can we not be honest and invincible.

Go back and see the situation, make the perfect choice, take the lead, occupy the initiative, and only then can you be invincible!

No matter how you look at it, retiring is the best choice, so that there will be no mistakes.

Now that he is already a master of high merit, he can be foolproof when he retreats.

If there is a change, don't blame yourself for being ruthless!

Zhao Xuanqi stopped turning, suddenly stood still in place, closed his eyes, and said solemnly: "Retreat!" ”

"No!"

Immediately, someone knelt down and solemnly requested: "Wu Anjun, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the country is about to be destroyed, how can there be any reason to go back?" ”

Zhao Xuanqi said again firmly: "Retire and return home!" ”

His final choice was to retire.

In the face of these begging generals, in the face of these generals who were unwilling to retreat, he suddenly opened his eyes and said loudly:

"It's just a retreat, it's nothing."

"Who am I? I'm your Wu Anjun. ”

"Since I can destroy the country once, I can destroy him a second time!"

"It's just a retreat this time, it's a big deal to come back next time, and kill him for the second time!"

Zhao Xuanqi's words were full of confidence.

It seems that in his mouth, destroying the country is simply commonplace, as simple as drinking boiled water.

In the blink of an eye, the enemy country is in ashes!

In an instant, destroy the army of millions!

Nineteen mountains and rivers in the Southern Zhao Kingdom, hundreds of millions of people, as if they can conquer and suppress with a raise of their hands!

This kind of bearing, this kind of self-confidence, instantly conquered everyone present.

These generals and strategists reacted one after another, and they understood the most sincere truth:

The person in front of him is Wu Anjun!

The unique Wu Anjun!

First in the four liberal arts subjects.

Born in poverty, the first in the four imperial examinations, the poetry is like coming from the sky, and it is praised by the world as the true body of the literary and opera star, crushing the world for decades.

Wu Ke is brave in the world.

Retreating alone from the north and rescuing millions of iron cavalry, he was able to break the wave army uprising with 30,000 elite soldiers, and even climbed over the Great Snow Mountain, completing the impossible feat, breaking the princes' million coalition army on both sides, and killing 300,000 people.

What can't Wu Anjun do?

Wu Anjun, a god like this, what can't he do?

Withdraw this time, and destroy it next time!

No big deal!

For a while, the generals were impressed, with a respectful look in their eyes, and they didn't dare to make any rebuttals, they saluted one after another, bowed their heads and said, "Obey, Wu Anjun." ”

In a moment, all sounds disappeared.

Subsequently, Zhao Xuanqi led the army to return to the dynasty.

That's right, it's the class teacher who returned to the dynasty.

As for why Zhao Xuanqi didn't go back alone, and let other trusted generals destroy the country here, so it is not wrong.

Hehe.

This is a major event to destroy the country!

With hundreds of thousands of troops outside, such a great military power and such a great interest in destroying the country are in front of them.

Who can trust other generals to do it?

If you have a heart of disobedience and have other thoughts after breaking through the enemy country, it will be too late to regret it!

This kind of thing, Zhao Xuanqi will not trust anyone at all except for doing it himself.

Because in the face of monstrous interests, anyone can become a devil, especially these soldiers who can fight well.

If Zhao Xuanqi returned to the Northern Wei Kingdom for too long and left this army for too long, it would be one thing to wait for these soldiers to really capture the Southern Zhao Kingdom and obtain countless benefits and resources here.

Even if there is only a 1 in 10,000 chance of breaking out into chaos, Zhao Xuanqi doesn't dare to bet at all.

In his words:

Big deal, I'll come back next time, it's nothing!

Under the constraints of Zhao Xuanqi and the major generals, hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers of the Northern Wei Kingdom slowly moved north and returned to the Northern Wei Kingdom.

However, before leaving, some generals were still sent to garrison this place, and ordered those soldiers and generals of the Southern Zhao State who surrendered not to cause chaos, and a small number of people were left to suppress this place, and the rest all withdrew.

Is Zhao Xuanqi really that chic?

In fact, he is far from being so dashing.

His mind was in turmoil.

Who can be willing to withdraw like this?

His heart was full of unwillingness.

But there is no way, retreating is the best choice.

Zhao Xuanqi rode a horse, looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance, and couldn't help muttering: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what is your situation?" ”

He seems to trust Emperor Qinglong, but people's hearts are complicated, who can know what the situation is? He didn't want to be a fight.

Just when he was talking like this, another change occurred.

On the side of the court of the Northern Wei Kingdom, suddenly it was a fast horse, 800 miles in an emergency, and the white blade sent a letter under the command of Jinyiwei and arrived here.

White Blade hurriedly brought a letter.

"Wu Anjun, this is a letter from Your Majesty and the Imperial Aunt Xiaoyao, you must receive it in person!"

Zhao Xuanqi looked at Bai Jian in surprise, he didn't expect Bai Jian to personally deliver the letter, Princess Xiaoyao and Emperor Qinglong would let him deliver the letter!

This was really unexpected by Zhao Xuanqi.

Suddenly, he had an even worse premonition.

Open the letter and take a look.

The Carefree Emperor mentioned one point:

Emperor Qinglong has been completely critically ill, and the imperial doctor has no way to help, it is said that this is a curable disease, and there are not many days to survive.

These days, Emperor Qinglong has been paralyzed in bed, and he was able to speak for a few days at first, but now he can't speak at all, his mouth is hoarse, and his mouth is dry.

While Emperor Qinglong could still express his meaning, Emperor Xiaoyao stayed by his side and slowly wrote out Emperor Qinglong's meaning and wrote it on this letter.

In the letter, Emperor Qinglong slowly expressed his meaning as the Son of Heaven with intermittent words:

Roughly speaking, Emperor Qinglong completely trusted Zhao Xuanqi and made Zhao Xuanqi not retreat, and he must capture the enemy country.

We can't let all the hard work of all the soldiers and all the efforts of Zhao Xuanqi be burned.

No matter what, Emperor Qinglong will trust Zhao Xuanqi, and after he is seriously ill, he will send Bai Blade, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the Xiaoyao Imperial Aunt to jointly supervise state affairs and sit in the rear, so as to ensure that there will be no accidents in the logistics and food in the rear, and that there will be no accidents in the government.

Emperor Qinglong is willing to completely give all the power to Zhao Xuanqi, and is willing to give all the trust to Zhao Xuanqi, hoping that Zhao Xuanqi will break the enemy country next and complete the great cause of the reunification of the north and the south.

You can't give up such an important thing because your emperor is seriously ill, if he really retires like this, Emperor Qinglong will not only not be happy, but he will also commit suicide in shame.

It also mentioned an important point, the reason why the twelve gold medals were issued before was not the opinion of Emperor Qinglong himself, but the opinion of Emperor Yao.

At that time, Emperor Qinglong suddenly fell unconscious, did not wake up for several days, was extremely sick, and no one to deal with the government and government, and it seemed that he was about to die.

As a woman's family, the carefree imperial aunt has no opinions at all, and she doesn't have many opinions, she is worried to the extreme, and she can't think of any ideas, and she only thinks of Zhao Xuanqi at a critical time.

So, she was flustered, like grasping a life-saving straw, so she took the initiative to send twelve gold medals to order Zhao Xuanqi to retreat.

This is all a woman's opinion, not the opinion of Emperor Qinglong himself.

After Emperor Qinglong woke up, he realized that this order was wrong, so he asked Bai Jian to bring the order to Zhao Xuanqi for the first time, while he could still express his meaning.

I hope that Zhao Xuanqi will definitely break through the enemy country and complete this great cause, no matter what, Emperor Qinglong will not blame Zhao Xuanqi, I hope that Zhao Xuanqi will not worry about him, and completely focus on state affairs.

It's not a big deal if you die, after all, everyone has a day of death, a day of accidents, death is just the end of everyone.

However, national affairs are very important, related to thousands of generations, but also related to countless Li people, related to the entire national design, related to the glory of the entire Han family, and must be unified.

Once he misses this opportunity, loses the opportunity, and leads to the inability to complete the unification in the future, then he is a sinner, and Zhao Xuanqi will also be spurned, he does not want this kind of thing to happen.

Therefore, Emperor Qinglong hoped that Zhao Xuanqi, the teacher, would not worry about himself, and would focus on the design of the country and attack the enemy country.

By the way, Emperor Qinglong showed his concern for Zhao Xuanqi in the letter, asking Zhao Xuanqi if he had eaten well these days and if he was unwell, hoping that Zhao Xuanqi would take care of his body, be healthy and be safe.

Emperor Qinglong was worried that Zhao Xuanqi would damage his body because of his work on state affairs, so he said sorry to Zhao Xuanqi here.

Then he said that it didn't matter if he really couldn't break through the enemy country, the most important thing was to go back safely and not be harmed.

In the end, he said sorry to Zhao Xuanqi at the end, his body really couldn't bear it, how much he hoped to be able to stabilize the country in the rear, stabilize the logistics, and let Zhao Xuanqi go out without any worries, and let go to break the enemy country, instead of letting the teacher fight in the front and worry about the rear, he was very sorry.

Emperor Qinglong especially hoped that Zhao Xuanqi would be able to return triumphantly, and then he would be able to personally go out of the city for hundreds of miles to greet him, but now it seems that he is afraid that he will not be able to do it, and hopes that Zhao Xuanqi will forgive him for the rudeness of this disciple.

also expressed regret to Zhao Xuanqi, he was not able to let Zhao Xuanqi personally officiate the wedding for him, and now he is afraid that he will miss the appointment with Zhao Xuanqi, and I hope that Zhao Xuanqi, the teacher, can forgive him.

Then there was a lot of greetings, Emperor Qinglong, as a disciple, hoped that Zhao Xuanqi would be in good health and could return triumphantly, and his words were gentle and full of kindness.

“……”

Zhao Xuanqi looked at the letter.

The hand was shaking for some reason.

He looked at the end of the letter, Emperor Qinglong had been greeting him, hoping that he would take care of his body and that he would always be well.

It looks like a hello, it looks like a greeting, as if it's a daily greeting, but the tone is still there, as if you're explaining what happened!

That's right, this young emperor seems to be explaining the aftermath.

Zhao Xuanqi vaguely seemed to see the former Emperor Jingming, and saw that snowy night, Emperor Jingming was lying on the bed, with a pair of fiery eyes inlaid on his dry body, and those fiery eyes looked at him:

"How I hope I can live for another 30 years, and then accompany you to conquer the world, recover the mountains and rivers together, eradicate all corrupt officials and corrupt officials, do a great cause, and rejuvenate the family and country."

"But I can't do it......"

Before that, it was Emperor Jingming.

Now it's Emperor Qinglong.

"Destiny is capricious, obviously in the prime of life, is he really going to die?"

"It's a little unbelievable......"

Now, Zhao Xuanqi was in a trance, and he saw too many emotions in this letter from Emperor Qinglong.

It's a pity that the text is too pale.

can't carry too many feelings, can't carry too much true meaning, can only express the meaning of a million of them.

The feelings of Emperor Qinglong, the young emperor, could not be carried on this fragile piece of paper at all, so that this piece of paper seemed particularly heavy.

Zhao Xuanqi was at the forefront of the army, sitting on the war horse, he closed his eyes, sighed, and suddenly pulled the horse rope fiercely!

"Phew!"

The war horse let out a fierce roar, and turned around suddenly, Zhao Xuanqi looked at the hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers behind him, looking at these young faces, he suddenly shouted loudly:

"Turn around and follow me to break through the enemy country!"

"Break through the capital of Nanzhao and return triumphantly!"

When the generals and soldiers heard this exciting news, they let out deafening shouts one after another, and they were elated and their eyebrows fluttered.

Give it a go and conquer the enemy country!

The soldiers cheered, and these cheers covered up the hoarseness of Zhao Xuanqi's voice, so that no one noticed that when Zhao Xuanqi struggled to shout these two words, his voice was a little hoarse and a little trembling.

I begged for a monthly pass~
