Seventy-three guests return home

All of a sudden, the emperor's ministers were all restless, happy and worried, and they didn't know whether what the spy said was true or false. Zhao Sheng asked: "You go to investigate again, if the situation changes, come back quickly." ”

The spy nodded, his toes moved, and he had run far away in an instant, Zhao Sheng saw that this person was not weak, and secretly praised, but he was puzzled, stayed in the hall, and waited anxiously.

After more than half an hour, the spy returned and said happily: "Your Majesty, the sky is very happy, the Tartars have been routed for thousands of miles, and they have fled in embarrassment, and the air force division has commanded the army to pursue and kill the enemy. When the people of the city heard the news, they all celebrated. ”

The courtiers and guards erupted in thunderous cheers, and the palace ladies also chattered and laughed. Zhao Sheng laughed a few times and asked, "You came to report the good news, you are also a blessed person, what is the name of this brother?" He was in ecstasy, and he was polite to this unknown spy, and he was actually called a brother.

The spy still looked empty, but his voice was joyful, and he said loudly: "The emperor asked, his subordinates are fortunate to have three lives, and his subordinates are called Huang Mianyuan." ”

Zhao Sheng smiled and said: "Okay, Huang Mianyuan, you are destined to have a relationship with me." From now on, you will stay with me and be promoted to deputy commander of the guard. ”

The spy was extremely happy, scratching his ears and cheeks, like a monkey, Zhao Sheng walked out of the palace, listened to the cheers of the people outside the city, the sound was in the clouds, knowing that this was true, he hurriedly led the crowd to the city tower. It happened that the city gate was open, and all the soldiers and generals embraced Kong Wu Dun and others inside, and when they saw Zhao Sheng, Kong Wu Dun hurriedly got up to greet him, Zhao Sheng held Kong Wu Dun's palm, tears trickled down, and he said happily: "Father, it's really a loss to you." ”

Kong Wuyun replied respectfully: "This matter was ordered by the emperor himself, with the intention of hoodwinking the Tartars, and his subordinates are just acting according to the plan, so how can there be any merit? ”

Zhao Sheng's face is not thin, but he can't help blushing when he hears the words, he sees that the situation is unfavorable, and he runs away, and the more this matter is gradually separated from what everyone has seen with their own eyes, where does it look like a bamboo in his chest? But since Kong Wuyun intended to cover up for him and give him a meritorious name, he didn't want to refuse, and laughed and said: "I just came up with an idea, and my father put it into practice, and I made great contributions." "Look at the injuries of goshawk, Zhang Axe Mountain and others, which makes people secretly frightened.

He hated the rebellion of Zhang Axe Mountain to the core, but at this time, he had guessed that this was all a plan to lure the enemy with empty enlightenment, so he was also relieved. I only heard the soldiers say one after another: "General Zhang is old and strong, and the lone army goes deep into the enemy formation and kills the Tartar general, which is really a god general." And General Cang has even more miraculous methods, one palm strikes, hundreds of people are shattered, I am afraid that it is an immortal who descends to earth. ”

Zhao Sheng was moved when he heard about Zhang Axe Mountain, and then listened to the deeds of the goshawk, but he couldn't help but laugh, and secretly thought: "They should brag and brag about winning the invincible Tartar cavalry in the world, but I am afraid that they will have to make a tune and talk about it for a year and a half." But he did not believe that the goshawk had such power.

Except for Cang and Zhang, the rest of the soldiers were injured, but they were not serious. Duan Yushui rescued them one by one, busy non-stop, Wu Ling and Tao Snake were too old, after this battle, a few oils ran out of lamps, Li Tingyu saw that they were dying, thinking of many years of kindness, and couldn't help but shed tears on the spot. Li Ruolan, Xue Binghan and others also wept.

Kong Wuyun spent half a day counting the results of the battle, a total of more than 90,000 enemies were annihilated in this battle, the elite soldiers and iron cavalry of the Yuan people were defeated, countless blades were captured, and their own side was killed and wounded more than 80,000 people, the results were very tragic, but it was a great victory that had not been seen in decades. Kong Wuyun said with a smile: "The Tartars are known as an army of 300,000, and the real strength lies in this horse riding in the world. The remaining 200,000 soldiers are nothing more than a rabble of Semu, Goryeo, and traitors, and they are not to be feared. They are still far from here, let's recuperate, recruit troops and train the formation, in less than two months, when the generals are healed, we can take the initiative to attack and recover Yungui. ”

Zhao Sheng knew that the empty enlightenment was bound to be true, and he would never speak in vain, and he was surprised and delighted. I thought to myself: "If I really win this victory again, I will occupy the land of Yungui, and I will really be able to compete for the world." At that time, I will be well deserved to be called the 'emperor'. "I can't help but think about this world-famous achievement, which will be widely praised by future generations, and I am really fascinated.

That night, the whole city celebrated, all night carnival and indulgence, the soldiers in the army were rewarded, he remembered the little autumn sheep to remind the grace of saving lives, and then recognized her as the righteous sister, named the princess of the holy sheep. Xiao Qiu Yang smiled and said, "Brother Emperor, what is the benefit of being a princess?"

Zhao Sheng said with a smile: "The benefits are naturally inexhaustible, I have nothing to say about what you want in the future, you just have to speak." ”

Xiao Qiuyang thought for a moment, blushed and said, "I can't think of it now, let's talk about it in the future." ”

Zhao Sheng toasted in public and said: "Father, from now on, I will share this world with you, regardless of each other." I have acted according to your counsel in every way. ”

Kong Wu Dun laughed and drank it all, but he didn't push it back. Zhao Sheng thought that he would be afraid and humbly refused, but he actually accepted it with peace of mind, and his heart was immediately shocked and speechless. After being stunned for a long time, he smiled and said, "I'm a little drunk, and I'm really dizzy." ”

After a few more rounds of drinking, everyone was tired, Zhao Sheng thanked the ministers and said to Kong Wudun: "Father, please go to the imperial study with me to drink tea, I have a lot to ask." ”

Kong Wuyun nodded and said, "Can Sha You come along?"

Zhao Sheng frowned slightly, and secretly thought, "What is he doing with me so wary? I don't hurt him." Said with a smile: "My father and Miss Shayou are inseparable, as if they are one, and they can go together." ”

Coming to the imperial study, Zhao Sheng ordered someone to serve tea and give a seat, and saw Zhao Sheng drink first, and then unveiled the tea. Zhao Sheng suppressed the anger in his heart and said lightly: "Father, you made this plan to get out of the empty city, but you almost frightened me. ”

Kong Wu said: "Why should the emperor be too humble? With the emperor's wisdom and wisdom, how can he not guess the thoughts of Wei Chen? Naturally, everything is under the emperor's control. ”

Zhao Sheng asked, "The assassins of the Huayi faction have a tight trust in their father, and they are still in their cells, waiting for their father to rescue them." After saying that, he laughed and pretended to be happy, but in fact there was no joy in his heart.

Kong Wufu laughed: "These assassins are extremely stupid, I expected that they would not be able to help the emperor. ”

Zhao Sheng was impulsive and said, "Father, if Brother Goshawk wasn't present at that time, I would have died under the dragon wood copper hammer." ”

Kong Wu said: "I learned that General Goshawk would be on the spot, so I naturally sit back and relax. If he wasn't in the palace that day, I would have had other means to make those assassins fall short, and the emperor would not be at risk of his life. I did that, but I wanted to make a fake show, so that the emperor's side would believe that it was true, thinking that my monarch and ministers would turn against me, and pass the news to the Tartars, luring them to march quickly and be alone in danger, while we can wait for work. And if they do, we won't win. ”

Zhao Sheng asked, "Who is that fine work?"

Kong Wuyun said: "He is also a palace guard, but now he naturally escapes." Just click on who is missing, and you can see clearly. ”

Zhao Sheng suddenly realized, and hurriedly ordered the guard commander Kang Cheng to count his subordinates, and after a stick of incense, there was a report, and there were three or four people missing, and they were all spies.

Zhao Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Father, how did you bring back 80,000 people when you took away 50,000 Yunnan Tu clans?

Kong Wuyun smiled slightly and said: "Taking precautions is the way to deal with the world. Over the years, the minister has contacted the people in the forest, given kindness and righteousness, and obtained a lot of promises, as long as the minister wants to transfer troops, in fact, it is far more than these 80,000. ”

Zhao Sheng exclaimed: "Father Dun really has an unfathomable ability, I am amazed, and my five bodies are thrown to the ground." Secretly thought: "What he means is that he has secretly cultivated power and has a strong army, so I will never be able to help him?"

He pondered for a long time, and when he saw that the scene was a little stiff, he was afraid that Kongwu would be suspicious, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "Uncle Zhang is extremely loyal to me, and I am really overjoyed to learn that he has not betrayed. Haha, he has been with me for more than ten years, and I don't believe that he wants to harm me. After a pause, he sighed again: "It's just that he was so seriously injured that I don't know if he can survive." ”

Kong Wuyun was stunned for a moment, and sighed: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang doesn't know about our conspiracy. ”

Zhao Sheng was speechless for a while, and after a while, he asked, "What do you mean by this?"

Kong Wu said: "Mr. Zhang doesn't know about my pretending to assassinate the emperor. His wife and children were held hostage by the Assassins, and he couldn't help himself. ”

Suddenly, Zhao Sheng was bitten by a snake, jumped up, and said sharply: "Zhang Axe Mountain really has the intention to kill me?

Kong Wudu's expression was gloomy, and he said: "As I said, he cares about the lives of his wife and children, and he is really desperate. ”

Zhao Sheng trembled with anger and said: "How kind I treated him! When he came to marry a wife when he was old, I let De'er recognize his wife as a righteous sister in order to make him and his wife match, eat his favorite wine, and reward him richly. ”

Kong Wu said: "Your Majesty, Lord Zhang's life is in danger, and it is useless to say more at this moment. I also hope that the emperor will think twice before acting. Master Zhang has always been good friends with me, and I can trust him as a person. ”

The two said a few more words, and Kong Wuyun and Sha You said goodbye.

Zhao Sheng couldn't calm down, pacing back and forth, recalling the last two sentences of Kong Wudun, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became: "He threatened me, thinking that I wouldn't dare to move Zhang Axe Mountain?

He suddenly had a thought, his body shook, and he thought to himself: "His life is instantaneous, and even if he dies tonight, it is not a strange thing." ”

Thinking of this, he summoned the little autumn sheep, after this battle, he trusted the little autumn sheep with all his heart, he said: "You go with me tonight, don't divulge secrets." ”

Xiao Qiuyang was very excited, Zhao Sheng led the way, and the two came to the palace medicine hall and said to the guards: "I want to see the condition of the wounded, you don't have to follow, and you don't have to enter." ”

The guards were terrified, and they all obeyed. Zhao Sheng walked around, found the house where Zhang Axe Mountain was, walked into it, and saw that Zhang Axe Mountain's face was blue, very weak, his body was full of bandages, but his breathing was normal. (To be continued.) )
