Chapter 45 Like this wood
Shudi, Jiahan County. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The former Taishou Mansion has been expanded into the current Changhate Palace.
A beautiful woman dressed in a yellow robe sat high on the main hall.
Hundreds of military officials gathered in the audience, but they all frowned, as if they were worried.
At this moment, there was a sound of armor colliding, and a man in silver armor and holding a snow-white spear strode in.
His armor was covered with blood, and the body of his silver spear was not covered with mottled sword marks, apparently after a fight.
He hurried to His Highness and knelt down on one knee.
"Zhao Ning sees Your Majesty. He said loudly, his eyebrows as sharp as a blade, and although he looked tired, his voice was full of energy. And everyone in Chang'an also set their eyes on this man at that time, as if they were looking forward to it and fearing it.
"General, please. The woman on the high platform echoed, her voice was extremely soft, but there was a faint breath of a superior person.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. The man got up.
"How's the battle going ahead?" the woman asked.
"The million-strong army assembled by Tuoba Yuanwu has passed through Baima Town, rushing all the way to kill, and now the soldiers are coming to the city of Jiahan County, I have asked Guan Qingyun and Zhang Penglai to mobilize troops and horses to garrison the city according to the instructions of the prime minister, but..."
Speaking of this, Zhao Ning paused, and a rare touch of vicissitudes appeared on his resolute face, but finally the stage continued: "But... The barbarian army is a million people, our army has already lost soldiers in the first battle of Baima Town, Huang Hanting, Ma Yunbai two generals have been martyred, this battle... I'm afraid of a lot of bad luck..."
As soon as these words came out, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military suddenly showed a look of sadness.
Xishu's Tianqing Zuo Yucheng is now seriously injured and unconscious.
Several stars who returned with Zuo Yucheng died one after another, leaving only Zhao Ning, Guan Qingyun, and Zhang Penglai, plus Yan Guiqiu of Shushan Sword Shrine and Mrs. Qingyu.
This is naturally not a small amount, but under the vast sea of Tuoba Yuanwu and the endless killing moves, it seems to be a mantis arm as a car.
No matter how you look at it, it seems that the defeat of Shu is decided.
However, Zuo Yucheng's failure in White Horse Town has left an indelible shadow on everyone in Shudi.
The myth of the near-undefeated prime minister who is wise and close to the demon and cultivates to the gods is still unknown to everyone now.
I only remember that Zuo Yucheng clashed with Tuoba Yuanwu that day, and the army was in full swing, and it seemed that he was about to defeat the barbarian army.
But at that time, a man in black suddenly appeared in the tent of the barbarian army and confronted Zuo Yucheng.
It's just a few back and forth, Zuo Yucheng's face showed a look of horror, and he didn't have the intention of fighting, and the gossip array that the Shu army thought was a killing move was because of Zuo Yucheng's distraction, revealing flaws, and was broken by Tuoba Yuanwu.
Then, the army was defeated like a mountain, Zuo Yucheng was counterattacked, vomiting blood and falling into a coma, the Shu army retreated again and again, and had already retreated to the county seat of Shu, Jiahan County.
At this moment, there is no way back.
"Your Majesty, Tuoba Yuan's martial arts are powerful and invincible, why don't we wait for us to pretend to surrender first, and then try to make a big deal!" At this time, an old man came out of the crowd, knelt down in front of Lu Ruyue, and said loudly.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, and they all looked up at the woman on the high platform at that time, trying to see something from her face.
They are very clear about the character of this Han emperor.
Although Zuo Yucheng is not a powerful minister, he is comprehensive and loyal, so the affairs of Shu are probably decided by Zuo Yucheng. Although this empress deserves her name, she rarely makes any decisions on her own, and her temperament is quite weak.
At this moment, after listening to the old man's words of persuasion, there was a little hesitation on his face.
Some people who were greedy for life and afraid of death suddenly became active at that time.
At that moment, several more people stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this battle will definitely be like the destruction of the lives of Shu, and please ask Your Majesty to put the common people first, and surrender the barbarian army, so that the people will not be in trouble." ”
There is no shortage of people in this world who are greedy for life and afraid of death.
Die.
It's always a cruel and terrible word.
That's instinctive fear.
It's sad to say.
But all living beings are afraid of death.
It's just that some people have something more feared than death, such as faith, such as someone or something...
But most people, in their lifetime, will never find or have such a thing.
Therefore, after counting the breaths, most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knelt down at this time and said loudly: "The minister seconded the proposal!"
Deathly repression began to creep in.
Zhao Ning straightened his body, and his face was extremely pale.
Lu Ruyue sat on the high platform and looked at the humble figure of the Manchu Dynasty like a defeated dog, and the hesitation in her eyes gradually changed.
She can't name all of these people who persuaded them to surrender, but she remembers some of them clearly.
Most of them were the most active at the time of the uprising, showing great loyalty to the previous dynasty, as if they were eager to die for the Han court on the spot. But now it was the first thing to propose surrender.
She gritted her silver teeth and set her gaze on the few figures above the main hall that were still standing.
One of them was a man.
He looks quite young, but he is twenty-eight or nineteen, and his face is handsome.
There was a long sword hanging from his waist, his breath was condensed, although he did not deliberately release half of his spiritual power, but a majestic sword intent flowed around him as if it were substance.
He is the head of Shushan, a genius in swordsmanship, and the little thirteen - Wu Qi!
As if sensing Lu Ruyue's gaze, the man bowed slightly, arched his hand, and said softly.
"Shizun has led eight thousand Shushan disciples on the way here, and within three hours, he will definitely arrive in Jiahan County. ”
After that, he took his voice and stood there quietly.
It was simple, and the tone was not as earnest as those who persuaded him to surrender.
He spoke so plainly, as if he was discussing a trivial matter in parenthood.
But the more this happens, the more clearly his determination and stance become apparent.
Lu Ruyue nodded, and then her eyes fell on the body of a woman beside Wu Qi, the woman was dressed in dark linen, her hair was gray, and her face was furrowed, but her waist was straight, and she did not look old at all.
"What does my mother-in-law think?" Lu Ruyue asked.
The old woman, well, or Mrs. Qingyu, did not salute.
After all, she is Lu Ruyue's mother-in-law, whether she is biological or not, but in order to save Lu Ruyue back then, she personally sent her granddaughter to the imperial power, and this alone makes her status in the Han Court comparable to Zuo Yucheng.
"There were 3,000 guests in the house, and none of them were men. She groaned softly.
As soon as these words came out, the faces of those who were on the ground turned red, obviously hearing the undisguised sarcasm in this lady's words.
When Lu Ruyue heard this, she nodded again.
She stood up and looked at Zhao Ning.
"Where are the reinforcements from Koto now?"
Her voice had become a little strange at that time, no longer as weak as before, but with an unmistakable majesty.
An inexplicable momentum began to rise above her petite body.
"Su Chang'an, the king of Chu, has led an army of 200,000 to the west, occupied Baima Town yesterday, and now it is on the way to Jiahan County, as long as our army holds on for five hours, we will be able to wait for the reinforcements of the king of Chu!"
Zhao Ning said loudly.
As soon as these words came out, the faces of those who bowed down changed one after another, and the old man who was the first to persuade him to surrender spoke again.
"Your Majesty, Su Chang'an only has 200,000 troops in his hands, and the stars are no more than Mu Liangshan and Taibai Zhenren, I think my Shu used to be nearly 400,000 male soldiers, and the number of stars is more than 10, and it is still not the opponent of Tuoba Yuanwu, Su Chang'an's reinforcements are a drop in the bucket even if they arrive, please think twice!"
This old man obviously has a high reputation in Shu, and when he heard this, those people who bowed their heads hurriedly followed and said loudly: "Please think twice, Your Majesty!!"
For a while, the words of persuasion in the hall came and went, and they had already overwhelmed Zhao Ning's voice.
Bang dang!
And at this moment, a crisp sound suddenly appeared.
That's the sound of the sword unsheathed!
Everyone's hearts were shocked, and they all looked up at the high platform.
I saw that the girl still drew the long sword at her waist at some point.
The sword, the whole body is snow-white, bright as the stars in the sky, engraved with a golden dragon with dancing claws, the long sword is out of the sheath, the sword intent is as vast as the sea, and it covers the entire hall in an instant.
It was the sword of the ancestors of the Han Dynasty - the sword of Longyan.
According to legend, this sword contains the luck of the Han Dynasty, and it cannot be pulled out if it is not of Han ancestral blood.
At this moment, the girl held this divine sword in her hand, her face was cold, she looked around at everyone, and with a wave of the long sword in her hand, the desk in front of her was suddenly cut off.
The case fell to the ground, and there was a slight sound, but everyone present felt a chill to the bones inexplicably.
"The court of the Han Dynasty has been going on for thousands of years, how can you give up your hands on a foreign race?"
"Whoever of you talks about peace again!"
