Chapter 43 The Return Section 3 Disobedience
"Ha! I really can't imagine that this Yuan Ke is so young that he actually wants to learn from me? But he is still young, and he can do more things in this royal conquest, but I, an old man, am afraid that I will not be able to do it a few times. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Xiao Yan smiled faintly, this Yuan Ke still couldn't bear it after all, and hurried over.
"Your Majesty, what do you think we should do with this peace request?" Wei Rui asked cautiously.
"The sky has a constant, the earth has a constant, and the gentleman has a constant; Xiao Yan said, "If this Yuan Ke is a smart person, he will show his sincerity and sincerely make peace with my Daliang, if there is another disagreement with his army, I am afraid that if I don't wait for my Daliang to destroy him, he will naturally start civil strife in the country." ā
"The emperor is really wise!" Wei Rui said approvingly.
At this time, Yuan Ke had just come to Xing Luan's camp, and since he entered the big tent, his face had been ugly, and his tense expression made Xing Luan and others dare not come out.
Yuan Ke's face was gloomy, and he asked after a while, "Where is Yuan Ying?"
Yuan Ying hurriedly stood up from the queue: "The last general!"
"From today onwards, remove you from the title of King of Zhongshan!" Yuan Ke ordered loudly, "In the battle of Zhongli, my Great Wei lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and the dozens of prefectures and counties that I finally won were all recaptured by that Great Liang in the past few months, Yuan Ying, when you set out on the expedition, you were full of confidence and praised Haikou, saying that you would definitely be able to enter the capital of Liang, Jiankang, but now? Look at Xiao Yan's Luan, they are all about to be placed in the capital of my Great Wei. ā
Xing Luan heard Yuan Ke's words, and there was a cry in his heart, this is the result he has expected for several years, at this time he really doesn't want to see such a result, he has been working hard behind the scenes to help each other all these years, but he still didn't help Yuan Ying and Yang Dayan, causing the two of them to be defeated like a mountain.
Now Yuan Ke is angry with Yuan Ying, and he actually removed Yuan Ying's title in front of the generals, which is a great shame for a prince, that Yuan Ying has never had a defeat since he led the troops to fight, he has won countless people, countless livestock, and countless gold and silver, at this time, Yuan Ke under the anger does not want Yuan Ying's previous merits at all, but just grabs his only defeat to make an article, Xing Luan listens to this heart is endlessly sad, that Yuan Ying's state of mind at this time, must be even more sad.
"------ the last general, obey orders!" Yuan Yingqiang endured the extreme ungrievance and dissatisfaction in his heart, and gritted his teeth in response.
"Lord Xing, Lian has already ordered you to deliver the peace document twice, why did you sink into the sea? Did Xiao Yan not receive it or did he not want to reply to Lian after receiving it?"
"Back to the emperor, the documents ordered by the emperor to be delivered by the officials have been delivered to the Emperor of Daliang on time, but ------ for some reason there has been no reply, and the person who just sent someone to deliver the documents today is still in the Daliang military camp at this time, waiting for a reply. ā
"Hmph, I'm afraid that Xiao Yan didn't take Lian in his eyes at all, this evil breath is not out, and Lian will definitely not let them go. ā
"Your Majesty------ The emperor is now driving in person, which has greatly boosted the morale of our soldiers, but ------Your Majesty, the lower officials don't know if they should say anything?" Xing Luan asked tentatively.
"In this situation, what should not be said? You should speak, and there is nothing that you can't listen to. Yuan Ke said coldly.
"Now the weather is as cold as a day, the heavy snow has fallen several times, although this supply is constantly sent here every day, but hundreds of thousands of troops are too much, and the horses have frozen to death recently, and the soldiers also have a lot of frostbite, according to the lower officials, it is better to ------ endure for a few months, and when the spring flowers bloom in the coming year, my army will re-enter the south and recapture the lost states and counties, I don't know what the emperor thinks?" Xing Luan spoke out in fear, and he only spoke it based on these times when he kept sending the peace document to Daliang, and he secretly guessed the thoughts of the young emperor.
After Yuan Ke heard Xing Luan's words, the expression on his face warmed up slightly, he had already thought about it before he personally conquered, he had to make peace with Daliang in a reluctance first, and then fight back when he had the opportunity, he originally had some concerns, knowing that Yuan Ying and Yang Dayan had never suffered such a big loss, if they wanted to make the two of them soft, I was afraid that it would not be so easy, so as soon as he came up, he would take down Yuan Ying's Zhongshan King first, let his arrogant spirit be restrained first, and then he could carry out the next plan. He just didn't expect that Xing Luan was so understanding, and immediately said his thoughts, and he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, at this time he was most worried that if the war in the south was not over, the difficulties in the future would increase even more.
"Lord Xing, now that Xiao Yan still refuses to reply, how do you think this is good?" Yuan Ke asked Xing Luan.
According to the analysis of the lower officials, Xiao Yan was suspicious, he was afraid that the emperor would not really withdraw from the army, if the emperor showed sincerity and talked openly and honestly with the emperor of the Great Liang, the problem would naturally be solved. Xing Luan hurriedly replied.
Yuan Ke nodded slightly: "It's okay, it's just that it's inconvenient to go, who do you think is appropriate?"
Xing Luan took a step forward: "Your Majesty, if the emperor can trust the lower officials, the lower officials are willing to walk on behalf of the emperor." ā
Yuan Ke nodded with satisfaction: "Lord Xing, it seems that this matter can only be mediated by you." ā
"The emperor can rest assured, the lower officials will definitely live up to their mission!" Xing Luan replied.
Yuan Ke glanced at Yuan Ying angrily and walked away. Na Yuan Yingtie stood on the ground with a blue face, his heart was miserable, he couldn't let out the stuffiness in his stomach, and his face was red.
Xing Luan waited for everyone in the tent to leave, and then whispered to him: "General Yuan, the emperor is angry at this time, you must not go to your heart, and you must not be angry, so as not to lose a big one." ā
"Hmph, because of a small loss, Lord Xing, do I have anything to lose Yuan Ying? Now that I am nothing in the eyes of the emperor, what else can I keep?" Yuan Ying snorted coldly and said hatefully.
Xing Luan was most worried about Yuan Ying's emotions at this time, he took the initiative to ask Ying to contact Da Liang, because he was afraid that this matter would drag on again and again, and he didn't know what Yuan Ying and Yang Dayan would do, he just wanted to make peace with Da Liang in a very short period of time, and successfully lead the troops back to China, which was the first thing to do.
"General Yuan, the emperor is angry today, not entirely because of your Zhongli defeat, the subordinates in the capital have brought some domestic submissions, I have taken a cursory look at it in the past few days, the recent rebellion of the people in various parts of the country is very fierce, there have been several people began to assemble to rebel, the emperor is worried, naturally he is in a bad mood, at this critical juncture, the emperor said some excessive words, you must not think about it. "Xing Luan is different from Yuan Ying, that Yuan Ying only knows that he is leading troops to fight, and he doesn't know much about things in the court, and Xing Luan is not only worried about the war in Xinjiang every day, but he is also always concerned about domestic affairs.
"What does that have to do with me?" asked Yuan Ying dissatisfied.
Now the emperor is bent on moving the capital to Luoyang, building a large number of buildings, the treasury is empty, the number of people is scarce, but the emperor likes Buddhism, widely built temples, the country up and down a total of nearly 10,000 temples, those monks are countless, the country's best labor, all run to the temple to become monks, and the capital to buy officials and lords has been repeatedly banned, now my Great Wei is in a stormy time, how can this have nothing to do with you and me? A few months ago, the Imperial Shi Cui Liang was suddenly beheaded, and his head has not been found so far, aren't these things an omen?" Xing Luan asked puzzled.
"Lord Xing, whether the emperor built a temple in general, or the king of Beihai, Yuan Shen, who bought an official mantle, and those people who went to the temple to become monks when they were full, where can I Yuanying manage so much? Then Cui Liang knows that there is nothing to live, framing Zhongliang, and he deserves to die, I don't know which chivalrous man killed him, and he also took a bad breath for me------ now I can't even do my own thing, Lord Xing also wants me to be more considerate of today's emperor, such a high-spirited thing, I Yuanying can't do it, and I don't want to do it. Yuan Ying said loudly.
"My General Yuan, now is not the time for you to be rash, you must remember, the old man went to the Great Liang army to discuss matters, you stayed in your own tent, don't do anything, this is related to your life and your family. Xing Luan was anxious and didn't know how to say it, but this Yuan Yingyuan general understood his good intentions.
Yuan Ying heard Xing Luan mention his family, he calmed down, his eyes turned red: "Family? Now my Yuanxiang sister doesn't know the life and death, I don't know how to explain to my wife after I go home?" Over the years, I have been fighting abroad for many years, and the most sorry thing is the women in the family------ I have not returned to the capital, I have lost my title, I am afraid that after I return to the capital, I don't know if this life can be saved------------
"If the general listens to the old man, there is absolutely no problem in saving his life, and the general ------ in this troubled world, it is better to ------be alive than anything else. What kind of titles, what kind of official positions, are they so important to you and me? They say that if they don't have them, they won't have them, and the emperor will give them if he wants to, and if he doesn't want to give them, he will take them, and you and I have been officials in the court for so long, and we have never seen anything before? It is not you and me who hold the power of life and death and seizing power, but the emperor today, General ------ Yuan, must listen to the old man, don't make another incident, and stay in the army for the rest of your life. Xing Luan said sadly.
Yuan Ying gritted his teeth and didn't answer, he knew that Xing Luan in front of him was worried about him, and he was worried about the moody emperor, I don't know when he will go crazy, he Yuan Ying's life will not be saved, he can't think of his own Yingming, but he is planted under this Zhongli City, this Zhongli battle has become a stain that he can't erase in his life------ I'm afraid that he will not be able to stand up again in this life. Thinking of this, he turned around and walked out of the big tent with a snort, and went straight to his camp.
Xing Luan looked at his departing figure, and suddenly there was a burst of sourness in his heart, he suddenly remembered Yuan Xiang, if she was still in the army at this time, she would definitely be able to comfort this grumpy big brother, don't be so arrogant, stay in Qingshan, everything will start again, if Yuan Ying insists on going her own way, I am afraid that things will become more and more uncontrollable.
Yuan Xiang, Yuan Xiang, where are you now? You are a girl, how can a person survive? When he heard the news of Cui Liang's killing, there was a faint guess in his heart, he concluded that this matter must have been done by Yuan Xiang, this girl has a strong temperament, and after she was killed by Cui **, she insisted on killing this person, that Cui Liang is used to being powerful in the capital, and ordinary people who dare to touch him, only Yuan Xiang's skills can be touched into Cui Mansion unknowingly, and he will be easily killed.
He has been treating her as his daughter all these years, and now that it has been more than half a year, he has no news about Yuan Xiang at all, who can he talk to about the anxiety and concern in his heart?
Xing Luan returned to his tent, carefully copied the documents he was going to bring to the Daliang military camp, ordered someone to deliver them to the emperor, stamped the emperor's seal, and he could leave early tomorrow morning.
Just when he was ready to rest early, Yang Dayan suddenly burst in: "Lord Xing, something is wrong." ā
Xing Luan was frightened by him, and the drowsiness that had finally come up was all frightened at once, and he hurriedly asked, "General Yang, what's wrong?"
"General Yuan was dismissed by the emperor today after the title of King of Zhongshan, this heart has been angry, just ------ just reported to his subordinates, he ordered 50,000 horses, and went to Yongzhou. ā
"What?" Xing Luan heard that Yuan Ying was heading in the direction of Yongzhou, and a cold sweat broke out.
