Chapter 204: The two armies face each other
Xuan Chengzi led so many Taoist friends to come to help the imperial court, in fact, the most important thing to achieve is to curry favor in front of His Majesty.
In the future, this peerless emperor of the Wei State, who can be called unprecedented, will do something that will threaten the development of Daomen.
He followed Zhao Changqing to the barracks, and the latter instructed Zhao Yun to set up another tent in the camp, and asked him to transfer a seriously injured soldier to this tent.
Zhao Changqing looked at this dying soldier and said to Xuan Chengzi: "This disease is very strange, the onset time is extremely fast, and the fatality rate is extremely high.
So far, the military doctors in the camp have not been able to find out the true cause of the disease, so they have nowhere to take medicine, but to reduce fever and relieve the patient's pain.
If you can really cure him, I will immediately proclaim the world, make Taoism the state religion of the Great Wei in the future, and guide the people of Wei to respect Taoism and Confucianism.
But then again, if you can't heal him, I won't let you go, no matter what forces stand behind you, no matter how skilled your own martial arts are. ”
Hearing the emperor's aggressive tone, Xuan Chengzi naturally felt a little worried in his heart, because when he saw this soldier, the situation was really too bad.
If he wanted to know more about the situation, he had to take the pulse of this soldier, and after a while, probably after the situation was clarified, Xuan Chengzi showed a smile on his serious face, and said confidently:
"Your Majesty, rest assured, although this plague has never been seen by Lao Dao, however, if their Witch Gu can create it, then my Dao Sect can naturally cure it, and then solve this plague. ”
Zhao Changqing nodded, and asked again: "Okay, how many days do you need, and what help do you need during this period?"
Xuan Chengzi pretended to ponder, twisted his beard, stretched out three fingers, and said: "Three days at most, because in these three days, Poor Dao has to continue to test medicine for this soldier."
As for what kind of help, I just hope that Your Majesty can call two Taoist friends from outside the city to help at will. ”
Zhao Changqing immediately decided: "I immediately instructed others to do it, I hope that you, an old man, will not break his word." Otherwise, the Son of Heaven will be angry, and you should know what the price is. ”
Xuan Chengzi bowed deeply to Zhao Changqing and said, "Poor Dao understands, thank you here, Your Majesty." ”
Zhao Changqing instructed the soldiers beside him: "Go outside the city and call two Daoists over, and then send more people around this camp, once Xuanchengzi Daoist has any orders, don't hesitate, go immediately."
But remember, what Daoist Xuan Chengzi does is very important, and he can't lack people to serve him. ”
The soldiers standing beside him naturally understood what His Majesty meant by this, and after receiving the order, they went down to make arrangements.
Xuan Chengzi smiled bitterly in his heart and said: "It is worthy of being a generation of male masters, Da Wei is in his hands, and he should be prosperous! No wonder she will fall in love with him desperately."
Come to think of it, such a young and courageous emperor, I am afraid that there will be no woman in the world who does not admire him, but an emperor, a person in the rivers and lakes, can there be any good results in the end? Alas!"
Zhao Changqing came out of this temporary small camp because he received an urgent military situation, but he was still a little worried about this old Taoist, so he whispered to Zhao Yun:
"Be sure to keep a close eye on him, find time to talk about it, and see what background he has. ”
Zhao Yun said: "The last general commands." ”
Zhao Changqing nodded and went to see Jian Yi.
The person who has an urgent military situation to report is none other than Jian Yi.
In the barracks, there was a dragon tent belonging to Zhao Changqing, in the dragon tent, he saw Jian Yi who was sweating profusely, he didn't hesitate, got straight to the point, and immediately asked: "What is the situation in Duan and Xinerzhou now?"
Jian Yi didn't even have time to drink hot water, and said directly: "Duanxin and Erzhou have been captured, none of my 60,000 defenders have been spared, at present, among the thieves, there is a middle-aged man named Miao Zhan, the self-proclaimed general of Tiance, is leading 600,000 traitors to kill the city, probably, tomorrow morning, the army will come to the city." ”
"Miao Zhan?" Zhao Changqing was a little familiar with this name, and he couldn't remember who it was for a while, but now was not the time to think about this issue, he immediately ordered to Jian Yi:
"Go and order 100,000 elite soldiers, remember, the 100,000 soldiers in my army must camp outside the city, these 100,000 people, preferably the soldiers who had dinner with the sick soldiers yesterday.
Tomorrow, I will take this 100,000-strong army and fight the enemy to the death. ”
When Jian heard this, he was immediately frightened and said, "Your Majesty, no, you are a body of ten thousand gold, how can you come to the battlefield in person?"
Zhao Changqing waved his hand, and said indifferently: "In the melee of the army, I have my own means of self-preservation, you don't need to worry about this, in extraordinary times, if you dare to persuade me, military law will deal with it!"
Jian Yi solemnly clenched his fists and said, "The last general's order!"
This time, he claimed not to be a subordinate, but a general.
He had already made a plan in his heart, and the four thousand Sword Pavilion disciples he brought from the capital this time swore to advance and retreat with His Majesty!
Outside the city.
More than 100 soldiers are encamping for those people in the Daomen to rest here tonight.
Although these Daoists are reluctant to live outside the city, no one has said any complaints at this moment, because Xuan Chengzi's predecessors have spoken like that, what else can they do?
You can only obey your fate.
On the side, the mysterious little Dao Gu who was quietly watching all this rested her feet, one person and one sword, and went straight to those places occupied by the thieves, with a great heroism that even though there were tens of millions of people.
This is truly a heroic age, a time when both men and women can be heroes.
That night, an army of 100,000 camped thirty miles outside the city, which was tantamount to making those people in the Daomen feel curious.
Zhao Changqing was afraid that those people in the Dao Sect would make some kind of moths, and he didn't want to let them into the city, so he sent people in the Sword Pavilion to closely monitor their movements.
Some Dao Sect masters naturally noticed this situation, but they didn't say anything, because they knew very well in their hearts that this was caused by His Majesty's distrust.
For the sake of the sect's hundred-year plan, there are some things that can only be quietly endured.
came to help the court with enthusiasm, but I didn't expect to encounter such treatment, how could there be no grievances in my heart?
But there's no way around it.
The next day, Zhao Changqing woke up from the palace.
He got up very early today, and he had already gotten up before the day was completely bright.
Seeing this, Wang Yan, who was on the bed, was a little puzzled, rubbed her eyes in a daze, sat up from the bed, and saw Zhao Changqing, who had already gotten out of bed and was stroking the human emperor sword, frowned, and asked softly:
"Your Majesty, why did you wake up so early today?"
Zhao Changqing looked at her and smiled gently: "You woke up Concubine Ai?"
Wang Yan nodded.
Zhao Changqing smiled and said, "Change clothes for me?"
Wang Chang nodded again.
She also got up and got out of bed, picked up His Majesty's regular clothes, and was about to wait for him to change his clothes.
Zhao Changqing shook his head and said, "I don't wear regular clothes today." ”
"Don't you wear regular clothes?" Wang Yan asked puzzledly, "Then what does Your Majesty want to wear?"
Zhao Changqing opened his mouth and said, "Hold the armor for me." ”
Wang Yan was taken aback, and just as she wanted to say something, her face suddenly felt the temperature of His Majesty's palm, and she only heard him say:
"Well, just stay in the palace, and I'll come when I go. I don't need you to change your clothes today, I've already ordered someone to get the golden armor, so you just wait for me here, okay?"
Wang Yan's voice suddenly choked up.
With armor on the body, even the most stupid and stupid people know what this means.
But what kind of war can make an emperor wear armor and go to the front in person?
Wang Yan didn't dare to imagine it, she looked at Zhao Changqing with affection, and said: "Your Majesty can go, the concubine will carry a dagger with her at any time, and the concubine will wait here for news from Your Majesty, and she will not go anywhere." ”
When Zhao Changqing heard this, he was very useful in his heart, touched Wang Yan's hair, picked it up and put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and said with a smile: "How can it be so serious, obedient." ”
Like a docile little rabbit, Wang Yan nodded.
After a while, several eunuchs brought armor together, and Zhao Changqing finally did not resist Wang Yan's persistent temperament, so he had to let her serve herself carefully and put on the armor.
After putting on the shining armor, Zhao Changqing picked up the Human Emperor Sword and walked in the direction of the outside of the palace, and the moment he stepped into the palace, he said:
"Aifei, sleep a little longer, and when I wake up, I will drink your soup. ”
I don't know whether Wang Yan cried with joy or sadness when she heard these words, in short, she muttered with tears in her laughter: "Your Majesty, remember to go early and return early." ”
In the blink of an eye, outside the city.
In front of the 100,000 elite soldiers, Zhao Changqing held the imperial sword in his hand, pointed at the sky, and said loudly to the soldiers: "These hateful anti-thieves have picked up the butcher's knife and stirred up the world to be at peace.
100,000 soldiers shouted loudly:
"Annihilate the thieves!"
"Long live Your Majesty, annihilate all the thieves!"
For a time, the morale of 100,000 elite soldiers can be said to have reached a climax.
This is the charm exclusive to Zhao Changqing, as long as there is a place where he is, these soldiers will be invincible!
"Now, I want you to pick up the blades in your hands and fight to the death with the thieves!" Zhao Changqing roared again, then got on his war horse, and in the midst of extremely high morale, he directly faced the direction of the enemy's attack.
Of the 100,000 troops, 80,000 were all light horsemen, and 20,000 were heavily armored iron horsemen.
Zhao Changqing did not choose to defend the city, but chose to fight outside the city for a very simple reason, that is, to stabilize the order in the city.
For him, the most powerful enemy at the moment is not the rebels, but the plague that will break out in the city at any time.
He wouldn't put the treasure on that old man.
Miao Zhan led an army of 600,000 traitors to a plain, and here, he learned through a report from his subordinates that the Emperor of Great Wei personally led an army of 100,000 to kill him.
When he heard the news, he burst out laughing.
At the same time, he also ordered the three armies to stop advancing, intending to wait for work.
Is it comparable to fight 100,000 to 600,000?
However, Zhao Changqing is not afraid!
He didn't come today to earn mediocrity, but to win the battle.
After Zhao Changqing arrived, he paid attention to the terrain and came to a place with a relatively high hillside.
For a time, the two armies faced each other.
An army of 600,000 people looked down condescendingly, and there was no end in sight.
In comparison, the 100,000 army led by Zhao Changqing himself seemed to be much less.
Miao Zhan stood in front of his army and let the two hundred messengers shout in unison: "The Dog Emperor came out to die!"
The 100,000 elites in the imperial court, after hearing these words, their hearts exploded, they didn't allow anyone to dare to insult His Majesty like this!
Even Zhao Changqing was angry when he stepped off the good horse, and he looked like he was about to rush forward and want to try, which perfectly interpreted the arrogance of Emperor Ma.
After Zhao Changqing heard it, he didn't get angry, but did nothing to comfort the good horse under his crotch, and after a while, as if waiting for the other party to scold and get tired, he let the soldiers behind him pass the word: "Tell them these thieves, those who surrender will not be killed, and those who do not surrender will be killed!"
So, 100,000 elite soldiers, all of whom were sat on horseback, said in unison: "Your Majesty has a decree, those who surrender will not be killed! Those who do not surrender will be killed!"
The majesty of the momentum is not comparable to the other side at all.
Moreover, the two hundred of them spoke together, and their voices were relatively chaotic, not very neat, but the 100,000 elites under Zhao Changqing's command spoke together, and their voices were the same, and they were extremely neat.
From this it can be seen that the two armies are not at all comparable to each other.
Miao Zhan was really angry when he heard that there were only 100,000 elite soldiers on the other side, so he also selected a temporary army of 100,000 poor people to reply to the imperial court, and said, "The emperor takes turns to do it, and he will come to my house this year." ”
is such a sentence, they are not neatly speaking, and the sound is very noisy when they listen to it, which attracts the ridicule of everyone on Zhao Changqing's side.
