Chapter 122: Announcing the Dispatch of Troops
The Emperor's Decree?
Qin Wu and Ren Hanran both looked puzzled, and after glancing at each other, Ren Hanran said: "This is so good, why would the emperor suddenly issue an edict for no reason?"
Qin Wu shook his head and said, "I don't know. β
"Since General Qin doesn't know, let's go to the order quickly, welcoming the emperor's decree is like welcoming the emperor, and we can't be lazy. Ren Hanran said with a straight face, and then walked out.
And although Qin Wu was very disdainful of this so-called emperor, it was inconvenient to have an attack now, and it was an unnecessary incident, so Qin Wu had to go out with him.
When the two of them arrived at the pass, they were even more puzzled, this time the battle to pass the decree was actually different from the past, in the past, it was a few eunuchs who dared to come together, such as the previous to spread the word that Qin Wu entered Beijing, and then left after the pass, and this time, good guys, a large group of people, it looks like a big official is traveling, not at all like just coming to pass the word.
But now is not the time to care about this, Qin Wu and Ren Hanran walked straight to the envoy group, and the leading eunuch also saw the arrival of the two generals, cleared his throat, and shouted loudly: "Qin Wu, Ren Hanran, take the order." β
Ren Hanran immediately knelt on the ground, ready to receive the order, but Qin Wu didn't seem to hear it, he still just stood.
Let him kneel down for this dog emperor, this is absolutely impossible!
"Why didn't General Qin Wu kneel!" the eunuch immediately asked.
"Why do you have to kneel?" Qin Wu directly retorted.
The eunuch said in a loud voice: "Seeing Your Majesty's imperial decree is like seeing Your Majesty himself, in front of Your Majesty, do you dare to kneel?"
Coincidentally, because it was the dog emperor, it was even more impossible for me to kneel.
Of course, Qin Wu didn't say this sentence, otherwise it would be difficult to end, so Qin Wu took a deep breath, first forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and then still said unceremoniously:
"Outside, the monarch's order can be unacceptable, not to mention the etiquette of kneeling, it is inconvenient to kneel, so be it. β
"Bold!" the eunuch shouted: "General Qin Wu, don't quibble with nonsense, you are clearly still in the Hezong Pass, where did you come from to say 'will be outside'?"
When Qin Wu heard this, he couldn't help but gouge out his ears: "Hiss...... Is it my delusion? I always feel like this kind of conversation has happened before, and it's almost exactly the same? Is it that you're all just talking these clichΓ©s?"
Without waiting for the eunuch to respond to his ridicule, Qin Wu continued: "In my place, Hezong Pass is already outside the world, a battlefield of life and death, so, if you don't kneel, if you love to declare it, if you don't announce it, I'll leave." β
Hearing Qin Wu's non-shocking words, the people present were stunned, although what Qin Wu said was that he could take advantage of some crooked reasoning, but no matter how he looked at it, this attitude didn't look like he looked at the emperor's imperial decree in his eyes, if he really wanted to investigate it, he could completely investigate Qin Wu for a big rebellion and bullying the king, right?
"You!you!" the eunuch couldn't speak clearly when he heard Qin Wu's words.
"What am I?" said Qin Wudao.
"You are! You are ......" Although this eunuch wanted to convict Qin Wu with the majesty of this imperial decree, but just like last time, he held back for a long time, but he didn't dare to say anything, now Qin Wu not only has strength, but even his status is different from before, even if he buckles Qin Wu with a disrespectful hat here?
Even if it reaches the ears of Emperor Huan Ling and causes dissatisfaction, it is just dissatisfaction, even if Qin Wu is to be rectified, it is a matter of not knowing how long it will take to take his time.
After weighing the pros and cons, the eunuch finally held back his words, and he didn't dare to put one more fart, but the atmosphere was awkward now, and he didn't know how to go on for a while.
Fortunately, it is still the same as last time, the winged guard general came forward to relieve the siege for Qin Wu and the envoy, although it is still impossible to make Qin Wu kneel, but let the two sides continue to listen to the order when nothing happened, and the face of the winged guard general can still be done.
Ren Hanran smiled and said: "Lord Messenger, General Qin has been running all the way, and he has just returned to Hezong Pass and hasn't had time to rest for a while, it may be really physically inconvenient, so let General Qin not have to kneel." β
"That'...... All right. The eunuch also went down the steps given by Ren Hanran, and no longer pursued anything.
And Qin Wu also didn't say anything, as long as he didn't have to kneel down to the dog emperor, the rest was fine.
Then the eunuch opened the edict and began to read it:
"In February of the sixth year of Guanghe, Emperor Huan Ling of the Great Han Dynasty said: I recently heard that the Seven Peerless Army of the Yang Kingdom was dispatched to outside the Hezong Pass, and they are eye......ing the Hezong Pass."
Hearing the Seven Peerless Army, Ren Hanran couldn't help but think in his heart, sure enough, he was not wrong before, and the major events that could happen recently were finally related to the Seven Peerless Army, but he wondered, how did Emperor Huan Ling, who was far away in the capital, learn the news so quickly? And he was so concerned, and specially sent such a large delegation to deliver the decree.
The eunuch continued: "...... This army is the division of the Yang king's card, and its strength cannot be underestimated, but ......"
"But the Seven Absolute Army's long-distance march to the outside of the Hezong Pass, it must be a great opportunity to annihilate the Seven Absolute Army in one fell swoop, take this opportunity to let the Yang Kingdom lose this army, it will definitely be a huge loss to the Yang Kingdom, so that it will be a huge loss to the Yang State, so that it will be difficult to attack again!"
"What? attack!?" Ren Hanran was startled, and couldn't help blurting out.
Seeing Ren Hanran speak suddenly, the eunuch who read out paused the reading and looked at Ren Hanran, as if he was asking Ren Hanran if there was anything wrong with him.
Qin Wu was also surprised when he heard it, he and Ren Hanran had just discussed and prepared to defend it, anyway, with the geographical advantage of Hezong Pass, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, plus it is not a lonely city that is not afraid of being cut off from backup, no matter how strong the Seven Absolute Army of only 70,000 people is, the threat to Hezong Pass is also minimal.
But as soon as the front foot discussed the hold, the back foot came to announce that he would take the initiative to fight?
If it weren't for the fact that the capital was at least a month's distance from the Longitudinal Pass, Qin Wu would have wondered if this Huan Ling Emperor had just eavesdropped on the side, and then deliberately came to give such a contrarian order.
Seeing that Qin Wu had the same look as himself, Ren Hanran whispered and persuaded: "General Qin, don't worry, the reverse thinking of the Seven Peerless Armies mentioned before is just a guess for the sake of conservatism, in case they really didn't expect us to make a surprise attack, then when this person is sleepy and tired, it is indeed a good time for us to annihilate the Seven Peerless Army in one fell swoop." β
"No matter how powerful the Seven Absolute Army is, with the defensive formation of our Wing Guards, the losses can be minimized, and when the time comes, the cavalry will charge, and the exhausted enemy will definitely be rushed into stragglers. β
"Well, then we will join forces to attack and take him by surprise!" Qin Wu agreed, anyway, he also advocated taking the initiative from the beginning, but he only listened to Ren Hanran's suggestion and chose to stick to it for the sake of safety, otherwise with Qin Wu's warlike and martial temperament, it is impossible to take the initiative to attack to see how powerful this Seven Peerless Army is, and what its strength is, you will know if you fight it.
Seeing that the two armies had finished whispering, the eunuch coughed lightly, and then continued to read the rest of the text.
However, the moment the rest of the part was read out, Qin Wu and Ren Hanran, no, and even everyone present except for the mission were shocked......
