Chapter 120: Mrs. Chedi, Nandu is confused!
And said that Shen Gongbao and Huang Feihu and Chongying Biao and others entered the Yin'an Palace, discussing how to deal with the next matters, this battle, although he killed Nangong Shi and Xiqi several generals, but their own side also suffered heavy losses, Chonghou Hu was the first to be killed under the intention of Shen Gongbao, and then Huang Feihu's generals Zhou Ji, Huang Ming and some small generals were unfortunately killed.
"National Teacher, how could Jiang Wenhuan's army of Donglu appear silently near Chongcheng?" Huang Feihu said with some annoyance, if it weren't for Jiang Wenhuan's army coming suddenly, it was very likely that the Xiqi army would be swallowed up by the two armies of their own side.
Shen Gongbao listened, smiled bitterly, and said: "The poor road is also unknown, there should be many large and small towns between Donglu and Chongcheng, is there no one to stop the Donglu army?"
Seeing that Shen Gongbao and Huang Feihu were staring at him, Chongying Biao had no choice but to let go of the sadness in his heart for Chonghou Hu's unfortunate death, shook his head with a wry smile and said: "In order to deal with the Xiqi army, my father mobilized most of the military strength of the surrounding major towns and gathered in Chongcheng, so the towns along the way basically only have the ability to maintain the safety of the towns, but it is absolutely impossible to resist the Donglu army, and my father did not expect that Donglu would sneak attack Chongcheng, so he would be approached by the Donglu army so easily!"
Shen Gongbao frowned for a moment, puzzled: "But no matter how fast Jiang Wenhuan's army is, after all, it is still 200,000 horses, and it will take at least a few minutes to reach Chongcheng, which is enough time for the messenger to convey this news, why haven't we received any information?"
Hearing this, Chongying Biao's expression suddenly became gloomy, and he was silent for a long time, Huang Feihu was also sitting upright on the chair, his thick eyebrows frowned, and after a long time, Shen Gongbao sighed, but he had already guessed the reason in his heart.
"It seems that this problem needs to be dealt with, otherwise this piece of heaven and earth in the north must be an unstable place, and sooner or later there will be problems!" Thinking like this, Shen Gongbao immediately looked straight and said solemnly: "Lord Chonghou unfortunately died in battle, and the two hundred princes in the north will be led by Chonggongzi, and after the poor road returns to the court, the Niangniang edict will be issued, but before that, there is still one thing that needs to be solved by Chonggongzi!"
When Chongying Biao heard this, he bowed his head and said: "But I don't know what happened to the national teacher, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"
"Childe, do you know why no one came to give the news to Lord Hou this time?"
Shen Gongbao asked in a deep voice, and then without waiting for Chongying Biao to reply, he continued: "But it is Chonghou Ye's previous actions that have caused too many people to be dissatisfied, among the more than two hundred princes under Hou Ye, I am afraid that most of them are dissatisfied, and they are afraid of Chonghou Ye's prestige and dare not make a noise, but at this time, Chongcheng is besieged by the Xiqi army, and there is the support of the Donglu army, so they naturally do not stop it, and let the Donglu army advance northward, intending to use the hands of the eastern and western armies to break Chongcheng!"
After a moment of silence, Shen Gongbao looked at Chongying Biao, who looked gloomy, and said: "The so-called injustice will kill oneself, the dead are gone, and the matter of the Marquis Chong is poor, so I don't want to say more, but if the prince wants to safely lead the two hundred princes in the north, and does not want the Xiqi Northern Expedition to happen again, then the prince needs to be greatly reformed!"
"Yes, even if the national teacher doesn't say it, this king still has to say a few words, what Chonghou did before is indeed a bit excessive, especially this time, how can you let those old and weak women and children act as a human wall? Don't you know that this behavior may cause a national riot in the city?"
Chongying Biao opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, and finally sighed, shook his head and said: "This plan was originally proposed by General Sun Rong, at that time our army and Jiang Ziya and others had a big battle, and many generals under my father were unfortunately killed, lest Jiang Ziya forcibly attack the city, General Sun Rong came up with this strategy, although my father felt that it was a little too ruthless, but the situation was critical, and my father agreed." ”
After a pause, Chongying Biao asked: "National Teacher, Ying Biao agrees very much with what you said, but even if I want to change this status quo now, I'm afraid it's already too late!"
"Haha, Gongzi is too worried, although it is a little late, but it is definitely not too late, although what Chonghou did before made the people lose their hearts, but at least there is no rebellion of the whole people, many people are still attached to the world in the north, so as long as Gongzi can travel some policies and some guarantees, it can greatly save the hearts of the people, as for the princes who let Jiang Wenhuan enter Chongcheng this time, according to the meaning of the poor road, Gongzi will not be held accountable, and when the situation is stable in the future, Gongzi is carefully examining, if there are still people dissatisfied at that time, Gongzi can take appropriate measures to eradicate it。 ”
Speaking of this, Shen Gongbao's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "There are not many requirements for poor roads, just need Gongzi to be able to give Dashang a stable north, but I don't know if Gongzi can do it?"
"Rest assured, Ying Biao will do his best to govern the north well!"
"This is very good, and wait for the poor road to inform Gongzi of a few things that should be paid attention to, so as to change the views of many people and win back the hearts of the people!" Shen Gongbao said, and then flicked his sleeve robe, intending to explain to Chongying Biao, but at this time, a soldier suddenly broke in, stepped forward and shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen, Xiqi has withdrawn its troops!"
Huang Feihu frowned, got up and asked, "Why did you withdraw your troops suddenly?"
"It's because" Before the soldier finished speaking, Shen Gongbao raised his hand to stop his words, and then pointed outside, his face was full of joy and said: "King Wucheng, you listen!"
Huang Feihu was stunned for a moment, then listened quietly for a moment, and only after a moment did he say suspiciously: "Is this another army approaching Chongcheng?"
At this time, Chongying Biao also heard the sound of gongs and drums outside, as well as the neighing of the war horses and the sound of the horses' hooves running, and exclaimed: "But I don't know whose army is approaching Chongcheng?
"Haha, it's certain to go out, but there's no need to worry, it's just that Mrs. Guan Che led the army to support!"
Soon after everyone arrived, Shen Gongbao ordered people to open the city gate, and after pacing out, he saw the wind and dust rolling in the distance, and a team of people and horses roared towards Chongcheng, and the flag was embroidered with a big "Dou" character.
I saw that the first woman was dressed in armor, wearing a phoenix helmet, holding a black gold whip, galloping wildly, and it didn't take long for her to fly in front of everyone, pull the reins of the horse, and the horse immediately stopped.
Before Shen Gongbao was in the court, he had learned about the generals of Dashang, this wandering soul guard, Dou Rong's wife, one of the few female generals of Dashang - Mrs. Chedi, Shen Gongbao paid great attention to it.
Now when I look at Mrs. Chedi's sassy and heroic posture, if I really feel that her women do not let her eyebrows, she is a heroine among women, and she is no less than a man.
"Haha, it turned out to be Mrs. Chedi, look up for a long time!" Shen Gongbao laughed and said, and then Huang Feihu and Chongying Biao also smiled and stepped forward to salute.
After hearing this, Mrs. Chedi smiled slightly, took off the Fengxia helmet, shook her beautiful hair, bowed down and said: "I have seen the national teacher and King Wucheng, and I am fortunate to be lucky to see the two of them here!"
Although this lady is nearly forty years old, she still has a delicate face, full of charm, and her voice is also very sweet, which contains a lingering meaning and touches the heart.
"But I don't know why Madame is here? Could it be that she is chasing Jiang Wenhuan and the others?" said Huang Feihu frowned.
Mrs. Chedi laughed when she heard this, and said: "That's not the case, this trip is my husband who ordered me to come to support Chonghou, and now Jiang Huan Chu has been awarded the head, capturing more than 50,000 Donglu soldiers, of which more than 100,000 fled to the south, my husband because he wanted to stick to the Wandering Soul Pass, he did not send people to pursue, and later learned that Jiang Wenhuan led an army of 200,000 to raid Chongcheng, which is why I came to support!"
"Oh?" Shen Gongbao was shocked and said, "But I don't know how General Dou broke through Jiang Huan Chu's army and killed it?" Huang Feihu and Chongying Biao also looked at Mrs. Chedi in surprise, looking confused and puzzled, waiting for her reply.
Seeing this, Mrs. Chedi flashed a smile on her face, and then turned into a solemn face, and said: "Speaking of which, this matter is also very strange, originally my husband and I were both training soldiers on the pass as usual, stationed at the Wandering Soul Pass, and suddenly heard that Jiang Huan Chu's army was fighting with people under the pass, and I was frightened and stood on the pass to check, but I saw an amazing scene!"
When Shen Gongbao and the others heard this, they all pricked up their ears and waited for Mrs. Chedi's next words, and Mrs. Chedi had a look of horror on her face, and her heart palpitated: " It was a team of magical and demonic centaurs, only 10,000 people, but they could wantonly wander and attack in Jiang Huan Chu's 200,000 army, and Jiang Huan Chu's army was defenseless, and they could only watch them scatter their phalanx, and then the team of men and horses flew straight to Jiang Huan Chu's camp, and killed Jiang Huan Chu and others together, and then killed many people, and then floated away, the speed was as fast as lightning, coming like the wind, going like electricity, and it was impossible to pursue it at all!
Shen Gongbao raised his eyebrows, hesitated for a moment in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Madame, can you describe the situation of this team and why they are so powerful?"
"The general who led this centaur is definitely a talent, she actually made all her men get an extraordinary mount, you must not imagine what they are riding!"
Madame Chedi smiled bitterly, and only after a moment did she exclaim, "All they rode were mountain beasts, tigers, lions, leopards, and so on!"
"What?" Huang Feihu and Chongying Biao both exclaimed, "How is it possible?"
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it, but in fact it was, they used the beasts of the mountains as mounts, so that ordinary horses would have weakened their legs when they smelled the breath of the beasts, not to mention that these people were all very fierce!"
Huang Feihu, who was shocked and undecided, heard this, and said curiously: "Could it be that these people are all powerful, and Jiang Huanchu and the others will be wiped out with a wave of their hand?"
"King Wu Cheng is humorous, although they don't have such a powerful ability, but in the world, it is an absolute inhuman existence, they all wield strange big knives, the blade is more than two feet long, the handle is one foot long, swinging up wide open and closed, sharp and abnormal, and they don't seem to need to rest at all, since the big knife in their hands rushed into Jiang Huan Chu's camp, they have never stopped waving, and the heads are constantly flying in the air. Frankly speaking, if we encounter such an adversary, my husband and I will not have the slightest confidence to defeat it!" Mrs. Thodi shook her head and smiled bitterly.
Hearing this, Shen Gongbao suddenly said in a loud voice: "But I don't know who the leader of this strange centaur is?"
Mrs. Chedi frowned for a moment, and then said: "According to my observation, it should be a woman, although her face seems to be covered by a layer of dense air, and she has never made a sound, but her clothes are purple robes, and her body is petite and exquisite, there is no doubt that she is a woman!"
"Hehe, it turned out to be a purple cloth!" Shen Gongbao sighed in his heart, he couldn't imagine that she would make such a strong team quietly, he was really surprised, and couldn't help but think of the poor Qi who was refined into a witch beast by Shang Ziyi, and he was already sure in his heart that these fierce beasts must have been sacrificed into witch beasts, otherwise it would be not easy to teach these fierce beasts.
After a pause, Mrs. Chedi smiled and said: "It's a shame to say, but my husband and wife were stained with the light of that mysterious team, taking advantage of the fact that Jiang Huanchu and other generals were killed and wounded, they led the troops out of the customs and rushed to kill, and finally captured more than 50,000 people, and the other 100,000 people were taken by some remnant generals and fled to the south." ”
Shen Gongbao laughed when he heard this: "In any case, this is a great joy, now that Donglu is pacified, the north is worry-free, only the land of Xiqi projectile is left, and Dashang should be worry-free! However, it is also necessary for Mrs. and General Dou to temporarily deal with the relevant matters of Donglu land, after all, there may be some remnants of Jiang Huan Chu hidden in it, although they are small fish in the sea, they can't make big waves, but they must not be guarded against!"
"There is no need for the national teacher to remind you, the husband has already ordered someone to deal with it, just waiting for Chaoge to order someone to come and take over the rectification!"
Mrs. Chedi then looked around again, and said: "Looking at the scene in the city, I think that the danger of coming to Chongcheng has been lifted, and now there are many things in Donglu, I still need to go back to help my husband deal with it, so I will leave first!"
After that, he bowed his hand to everyone, took up the Fengxia helmet, jumped on the horse, raised the black gold whip in his hand, and returned to Donglu with the army, and disappeared into the distance with the brigade in an instant.
Shen Gongbao and Huang Feihu looked at each other and smiled, and then entered the city with Chongying Biao to solve the matter of the people of Chongcheng.
Under the order of Shen Gongbao, soon the people in Chongcheng were gathered on the vast arena in Chongcheng, Shen Gongbao, Huang Feihu, and Chongying Biao stood on the big platform of the arena, staring at the many people in the audience, and saw that their faces were full of anxiety, with a trace of fear in their eyes.
Shen Gongbao waved his hands, his mana ran for a moment, and shouted: "Everyone, quietly, I am Shen Gongbao, the national teacher of the Great Shang, I think someone should know the poor way, right?"
Then he pointed at Huang Feihu again and said, "Wucheng King Huang Feihu, there is no way that someone doesn't know him, right?"
"Gathering everyone here today, just to give you a guarantee, with the personality of Poor Dao, King Wucheng and Wen Taishi, and even Su Niangniang, there will be no injustices in the north in the future, and all the people who suffered before will be compensated accordingly, and everything in the north will be consistent with other places, and there will definitely be no wanton oppression of the people, and within three years after that, all taxes will be exempted, so that everyone has time to recuperate!"
Shen Gong Leopard Yun said loudly, his voice covered the audience, and for a while, everyone was talking about it, not knowing whether this matter was true or not.
Seeing this, Chong Yingbiao immediately said aloud: " Ladies and gentlemen, perhaps you hate my father very much and think that he deserves to die, but now that my father is really dead, the dead are gone, and I am inconvenient to say more about my father's fault, as the national teacher said before, there will be no injustice in the north in the future, with the guarantee and supervision of the national teacher and others, everyone should be able to rest assured, and here, I make another vow that all the money collected by my father will be returned to you immediately, or used for the construction of the north for the benefit of the people, and all the homeless people can get a house, as well as three months of living expenses!”
After Chongying Biao's words, everyone below was suddenly silent, all of them looked at Chongying Biao in disbelief, and were very suspicious of his words, and after a long silence, an old man in a sixtieth armor trembled and asked: "National Teacher, is this matter true?"
"Hehe, can't the old man believe in the poor Dao and King Wucheng and Master Wen?"
"No, no, it's just too surprised!" the old man said excitedly, and then hugged a child of a few years old next to him and whimpered: "Grandson, it's okay, you don't have to go hungry in the future, you finally have a good life!"
"Thank you National Teacher! Thank you King Wucheng! Good man!"
"Thank you, Taishi, thank you Su Niangniang!"
"I've finally looked forward to this day, woo"
"Is this true? I can actually see this!" said one of them, rubbing his eyes, and muttered in disbelief
Listening to the noisy cheers from the audience, Chongying Biao was full of emotion and said ashamedly: "National teacher, I was really wrong with my father before, but this joy is something I have never felt, I have to say, this feeling is really good!"
Shen Gongbao smiled faintly when he heard this, patted Chongying Biao, and said: "The people's requirements are very low, it's just food, clothing and a stable life, I believe you can do a good job and make up for the mistakes your father made before!"
Chongying Biao nodded fiercely, looking at everyone in the audience, a sincere smile crossed the corner of his mouth, very bright
Shen Gongbao had a smile on his face, fell into the clouds outside Chaoge City, flicked his robe, and then slowly looked at the city and walked, since the matter of Chongcheng was resolved, Shen Gongbao took the lead in rushing back to Chaoge, as for Huang Feihu, he needed to lead the army to return slowly.
Looking at Chaoge Street, which is still very prosperous, it seems that it has not been affected by the war around Chaoge at all, peaceful and stable!
"This kind of life is the best!" Shen Gongbao sighed in his heart, then shook his head, looked at his mansion and walked away, and from time to time smiled at the people who greeted him around to show his return salute.
At this time, suddenly a person on the side of the road walked up, bowed down and said: "Xiaomin has seen the national teacher, I don't know if the national teacher can stop for a moment and solve Xiaomin's doubts!"
Shen Gongbao looked at the person in front of him, only to see that he was dressed in a gray-blue robe, his hair was slightly gray, he was not young, but he was in good spirits, his eyes were bright, and he was carrying a small medicine box behind him.
"Hehe, old man, but it doesn't hurt to say!"
After hearing this, the old man immediately bowed down and said: "National teacher, Xiaomin is a doctor in Nandu, he previously called on the imperial medical supervisor to go to other places to treat diseases and save people for free, but I didn't want me to return to Nandu when I found that the city gate was closed, and I didn't let me go in at all, and I didn't see the people in the city come out, Xiaomin waited for a few days, and I didn't see the city gate open, so Xiaomin had to come all the way to Chaoge, and wanted to ask for the reason, I happened to see the national teacher, and asked the national teacher to help!"
When Shen Gongbao heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "It turns out that this is the case, there were 100,000 deserters in Donglu who went to the direction of Nandu before, maybe Nan Bohou was guarding against it, so that those deserters would not have a chance to escape!"
After a pause, Shen Gongbao said again: "Old man, rest assured, Poor Dao will order someone to prepare a place for you to live in the Tai Yi Prison, and the old man will meditate for a few days, and you can also find your favorite information in the Tai Yi Jian to check it, and then the Nandu will be in trouble, and the poor Dao will definitely let people send the old man back to Nandu!"
When the old man heard this, he immediately thanked him: "Thank you to the national teacher, the information in the Tai Medical Prison has been waiting for a long time!"
Seeing that his matter had been resolved, the old man immediately smiled, and then Shen Gongbao led this person to the Imperial Doctor's Prison, and only after giving instructions did he go to his mansion.
Since Shen Gongbao's reform, all the doctors of Dashang have been effectively integrated, and there are often people who spontaneously go to other places to practice medicine and save people for free, so that the number of patients has been greatly reduced, and the places have become much more stable.
While secretly happy about what he had done before, Shen Gongbao's footsteps gradually accelerated, and he was about to go to Liu'er to learn about Xiqi first, but suddenly Shen Gongbao's footsteps stopped, his brows frowned, and he recalled the old man in his mind, and he was puzzled in his heart, and muttered: "At the speed of this old man, it will take a month to come from the southern capital to Chaoge, to say the least, but a month ago, Jiang Huan Chu did not die, why did the southern capital be closed?"
"Isn't it because of the 100,000 fugitives?" Shen Gongbao frowned, puzzled.
Previously, Shen Gongbao took it for granted that the southern capital was closed because E Chongyu received Dou Rong's information to guard against the 100,000 deserters, but now after thinking about it, he suddenly found that the time was not right.
"Maybe this Nandu should also pay attention to it, but don't have accidents!"
Shen Gongbao, who was thinking so in his heart, immediately stopped hesitating, and walked quickly to the mansion, preparing to let Liu'er investigate the southern capital.
(To be continued)
