Chapter 43 Black Cauldron Falls from the Sky
What Feng Ye didn't know was that he came to Dongning to confront him, and the bigwigs of the court were about to blow up. Of course, the imperial court wants the tens of thousands of war horses in Dongning, and it also has the intention to punish Feng Ye, the king of Dongning County.
But what time is it now? Donghu's 200,000-strong army entered the Kou, and Liaodong Town was defeated and retreated. Many of the guards have fallen. How could they still have the energy to divide their troops to attack Dongning Wei? Besides, the three thousand in Feng Ye's hands on the Dongning side could be used as one as ten elite iron cavalry, which also made them have scruples.
It was useless to send a small group of people and horses in the past, and as for the matter of sending a large number of people, no one mentioned it, and now they are defending with all their might, and they are still being defeated and retreated by Donghu. If you divide your troops and go out of the city, wouldn't it be to deliver food to the Donghu people?
The matter of Dongningwei is relatively just a trivial matter, and now it is beyond the reach of the whip, and it can only be put down for the time being, and now the 200,000 troops of the Donghu people who are about to hit the door are the top priority.
A group of courtiers studied and studied, but they never came up with a good strategy to retreat from the enemy. In the end, the imperial court was ready to sue for peace with Donghu.
On Dongning's side, everyone was waiting for the reaction of the imperial court, but they didn't expect the imperial court to ignore them. Instead, he proposed peace talks to Donghu.
When Dongning heard the news, Xiao Dezi and Xue Baochai both breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this matter was in the past. Only Li Wei twisted his beard and frowned. Seeing this, Xiao Dezi hurriedly asked, "Lord Li, why are you so worried? Isn't it a good thing that the imperial court has not condemned the crime now?"
Li Wei shook his head with a bitter face and said, "Father-in-law, you don't know anything about this. If the court decrees a condemnation, it will be a good thing. That means it's over. But now that there is no follow-up, it can only mean that the imperial court can't take a step out to clean us up for the time being. I'll have to wait until the autumn to settle accounts. ”
"No!" said Xiao Dezi softly to himself. Apparently he already believed it, but he didn't want to believe it. After the autumn, I am afraid that it will not be a trivial matter. This is related to everyone's fate, once Feng Ye, the king of Dongning County, falls, his little dezi, as a personal servant, will definitely not end well.
"Why not? Think about it, how many mistakes His Highness has made over the years, and how many times His Majesty has not punished him?
The punishment has not been punished yet, which can only mean that the imperial court is now forced by Donghu to free up its hands to deal with us. Once this peace talks are successful. Now the hundreds of thousands of troops who are resisting Donghu are afraid that they will come to clean us up. Li Wei explained with a bitter face.
"It seems that those guys in the court are all soft eggs who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard, and if they don't hurt them, they don't know what it means to be afraid. In the past, they always despised Donghu, believing that Donghu was nothing more than an uncivilized savage who should not be feared.
In recent years, Donghu has gradually become stronger, and every year in Koubian, the imperial court can only hold on and be unable to fight back, so no one mentions the words of the savages anymore. Now that he has been beaten by others, he has been defeated and retreated, and he has lost his city and land, and now he has hit the door of his home, so he has a shy face to ask for peace. I kind of have a new understanding of the imperial court. Feng Ye said with a smile.
"Husband, what should we do now?" Xue Baochai asked nervously.
"Since they are this kind of bullying and fearing the hard, then let's be tougher. Beat them once, and in the future, these guys will not dare to dictate and point fingers at our Dongning. Feng Ye said in a very relaxed tone.
"Fight with the imperial court, are you preparing to rebel?" Li Wei said in a panic. At this time, the cargo realized that it seemed that he was on a thief ship, and he was a little overwhelmed.
"Eh, how can this be called a rebellion? It can only be said to be a small dispute between father and son. This king just wants to reason with his father. Feng Ye said with a smile. In these years, the big fist is the truth, and there is nothing wrong with reasoning with the fist.
"Dispute, fight until the sword and soldiers meet?" Li Wei said in a mocking tone. I can't imagine that this thing is still a die-hard royalist. Seeing that Feng Ye was about to lead the army to resist, his tone suddenly changed.
"Don't worry, this time it's just a defensive battle, and this king won't take the initiative to grab the territory and the storage position. Just to let the court know that I am powerful, and from now on they dare not underestimate me. Feng Ye said confidently.
Feng Ye is confident that his three thousand Dongning iron cavalry are absolutely invincible in the field, with unparalleled speed and accurate archery, flying a kite every day can break the opponent's morale.
In the conference hall at this moment, except for Feng Ye himself, who was full of confidence and smiling, the faces of the other three people were not very good. Although they admit that Feng Ye is very capable of fighting, the Dongning Iron Cavalry is also very elite and can be used as one as ten.
But after all, it will be faced with hundreds of thousands of imperial court troops. Once they fail, Feng Ye may not die as a prince, but their fate will definitely not be too good.
Feng Ye saw their appearance of this catastrophe, so he could only patiently analyze with them: "Li Wei, you are the Dongning County Commander sent by the imperial court, and you have only been here for a few months, even if this king is defeated, this matter has nothing to do with you, right?"
You don't have military power in your hands, and the court won't punish you. Li Wei thought about it, it seemed that this was really the case, and his face suddenly improved a lot, no longer the pale that he was about to face just now.
Feng Ye said to Xiao Dezi and Xue Baochai again: "After all, I am the Nine Emperors of the Dynasty, even if I am defeated and captured, the worst result is only captivity, after all, tiger poison does not eat children." Your Majesty will not kill me. And you, as my personal attendant and princess, are at most confined with me. What else?"
After Feng Ye's enlightenment, the faces of the three of them were much better. The ideas of these three people are very important, once Feng Ye is on the battlefield, Dongning needs the three of them to stabilize.
If the three of them have no confidence, they are afraid that Feng Ye will go out on the front foot, and Dongning will surrender on the back foot. Nowadays, the development of Dongning has just improved, and there are enough people to plow the fields. Don't let that mess up. Therefore, Feng Ye could only try his best to increase some confidence for the three of them.
Within a few days, news came out, saying that the peace talks had been successful and that Donghu was going to withdraw from the army. It's just that the imperial court paid a lot of goods, food, women, and craftsmen as an apology. It is simply a shame and a loss of power and humiliation of the country. But His Majesty, who was civil and military and wise and martial in the Manchu Dynasty, of course, could not carry this black cauldron.
Immediately afterwards, a big black cauldron was buckled on Feng Ye's head.
He provoked a border provocation and plundered the herdsmen of Donghu, which led to Donghu sending troops to retaliate.
Burning military rations, it was precisely because the king of Dongning County led people to burn the military rations in Liaodong Town that hundreds of thousands of Liaodong troops were defeated.
Therefore, the reason why the imperial court wants peace talks and the reason why it loses power and humiliates the country is also something that there is no way to do, and all the culprits are because of Feng Ye, the king of Dongning County. is about to go to Beijing to hear the trial.
