Chapter 187 The border troops will never retreat

Spring Tower,

On the third floor, there was a group of people walking quietly in the corner, listening to the words of the high platform to the east. The three people did not deny them.

The special envoys from Hailan, Andu, and Tianhai, who are from outside the Tellurium Pass, have arrived in the capital early and are stationed at the imperial residence in the capital. It seems that they are seeking assistance from the Dawu court in the hope of resisting the Jurchens' attack.

The world is in chaos and there is great contention.

Countries are fighting secretly, and alliances and alliances are brewing east of the capital.

The chief steward on the high platform raised his legs and shouted;

"Then first, let Commander Kang of the Forbidden Army come to Dongzhu."

As soon as these words came out,

Everyone's eyes turned over, and Kang Mengyu stood up with a livid face in front of the guards of the Forbidden Army, and said coldly;

"Kang took the first place in the Imperial Guard's custody, ten thousand taels."

When the chief steward saw Dongzhu, the commander of the imperial army, Kang, he hurriedly shouted:

"Okay, the Forbidden Army will bet ten thousand taels on itself to win the championship, and then it will be the second one, the Beijing Camp in the capital. This is the decisive force of Dawu Zhongzhou. If there are three hundred thousand elites in the imperial court, can they win in the Qing Dynasty that year?

Sichuan County surrounded and annihilated the main force of 600,000 people of the Red Lotus Sect in one fell swoop, directly ending the Red Lotus Rebellion that had lasted for several years. I would like to ask Lieutenant Jia of the Beijing Camp to pay attention."

fourth floor,

Jia Lian's face looked a little ugly, so it was a fucking game. Jia Zhen didn't expect it to happen. Knowing that this matter was unavoidable and knowing Lian's brother's situation, she immediately handed over the 10,000 taels of silver.

In the past, the Jia family's face could not be lost.

Jia Lian's face would look better when he took the banknote, but how should he choose? If the first one is chosen by the imperial army, then he should choose the second or third one.

But he couldn't even think about whether he could represent the Beijing camp. If something went wrong, his uncle would not be able to kill him. He could not blame his elder brother Wang Ren for why he didn't come here.

When Jia Baoyu saw that Brother Lian had not shut up, he urged;

"Second brother, hurry up, everyone is watching."

Seeing Jia Lian's dilemma, Jia Zhen whispered;

"Brother Lian, if the imperial army is seeking first place, let's be second. Let's occupy the front position first."

Jia Lian knew what Brother Zhen meant. He originally wanted to choose number one. Can he and the Forbidden Army belong to the same capital city? Can he compete like this just to make a joke?

Jia Lian leaned over and turned to the amplified horn and said;

"Oshijing camp is second, ten thousand taels."

The chief steward said happily;

"Okay, the Beijing camp bets on its second place, 10,000 taels, and then it will be the Shuoyang Frontier Army from the east. This is one of the veteran elites of the Nine Frontiers of Dawu. They once fought against the Jurchens in the Luoyun Plain.

Dongfeng has solved the danger of Pingyang County three times, and achieved solid results. To the east, General Shuoyang Niu is invited to pay attention."

Niu Jizong stood in front of the window with terrifying eyes. He was silent for a moment and said hoarsely;

"This general will charge Shuoyang, the leader of the border army, with ten thousand taels."

The chief steward shouted even more excitedly when he heard this,

"The Shuoyang frontier army also bet on the first place, ten thousand taels, and someone is competing for the first place."

There was a lot of discussion outside Chunlou, and everyone had different expressions.

Niu Jizong stood there expressionless, staring at the high platform. The joyful look he had when he was drinking with everyone had long since disappeared. Didn't Niu Jizong look drunk at all at that time?

When the guards behind him saw those, they asked worriedly;

"General, can we do that? The first question is whether we will succeed or not."

Niu Jizong's face was gloomy. He looked at the fat man in charge in the east, wearing a red cotton-padded jacket and boasting there, and said helplessly;

"It can be done even if it doesn't work. How can the frontier army retreat in such a situation? Furthermore, Shuoyang's frontier army is asking for nothing more than a breath of air. I admitted defeat that time. They underestimated King Zhongshun. There must be an expert behind the scenes."

."

After listening to Niu Jizong's bet, other generals of the border army were not surprised. Why did they make such a bet? After thinking about it, they naturally understood that Red Niu Jizong was the first bet, so why don't you take out the frontier army to hang out? Lose

No one loses the battle.

When the young princes in the Duke's Mansion thought of this, they all looked at the window of Zhou Yunzhen, Prince Zhongshun's eldest son, with eyes like hungry wolves.

Zhou Yunzhen stood at the window and suddenly felt the unkind eyes around him. He frowned, stepped back, turned around and asked;

"Mr. Mo, things are getting a bit troublesome. I never thought that the generals of the border army would be so out of control and look so bad."

When Mr. Mo heard this, he shook his head, and then a hoarse voice came;

"Your Majesty, they can't keep their temper, or the border troops don't have much money in their pockets. Moreover, they can't be angry if they are being plotted against. He didn't agree with this plan. Such behavior has offended too many people."

Zhou Yunzhen naturally knew the consequences, but he did not regret it. Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters;

"Mo Laojiao, the palace knows, but since my father was defeated outside the Pass, they have lost their military power due to their loyalty to the palace. Now we can rely on the emperor, there is no other way. The emperor is not wrong about this matter."

Mr. Mo stared at the prince for a moment and then replied,

"The prince is very scheming. With such a subtle hint, people who are interested will definitely notice something fishy in the matter afterwards. They will definitely think of Shengzai and will naturally take out the prince's palace. But the prince, who can act like this is someone from the palace."

The crown prince Zhou Yunzhen opened the folding fan and played with it carefully in his legs. Looking at such a gorgeous fan, he suddenly exerted force on his legs and the fan broke. This was the end of a famous fan.

Zhou Yunzhen showed a satisfied look and said,

"This matter is nothing more than the palace's compensation after the fact. To the palace, the money is just like the fan, which is not a personal possession even though it is exquisite. He is prepared to compensate each family with 10,000 taels of silver notes, and the bet will not let them pay.

money."

"Hey, if this is the case, then the gain outweighs the loss."

Mr. Mo replied helplessly.

The chief steward on the high platform seemed to have found his state, his expression was relieved, his smile was innocent, he touched his big belly, and wore a big red coat on his face, like a rich Buddha.

The chief steward raised his head and continued to ask eastward one by one.

"To the east, there is the Yunzhong Frontier Army. This is the elite of one of the nine frontiers of Dawu. They once went out and killed thousands of Xianbei cavalry without any casualties. They also successfully returned. They are really an army good at fighting. Please

General Chen Dongzhi."

Outside Chunlou,

Everyone's eyes continued to follow the words. Although most of them didn't know who was denying General Chen, it did not prevent those present from following suit.

Especially the Hu Shang from various countries in the Western Regions, who had some inexplicable color in their eyes when they heard that this tribe killed the Xianbei people without defeat.

If Chen Ruiwen, who is still there, is also very angry, how do you choose?

The guards behind him were also silent. I really can’t think of the first place. I wonder if the general really beat the first place, and it would be worth a lot of money.

It was just so red and thrown away, not even a splash could be seen.

Chen Ruiwen naturally knows this truth, but if he chooses the third or later position, then his Chen family, which is very important to the Duke's family, will lose their reputation.

Looking at the dark crowd in the east, Chen Ruiwen gritted his teeth and said,

"Bet on Yunyang's border army, number one, bet ten thousand taels."

As soon as these words came out,

The sound spread throughout Chunlou in the east, and everyone in the east suddenly shouted "Okay".

One after another,

Everyone was cheering and praising him, which made Chen Ruiwen feel a little better, but he also got angry when he thought about the ten thousand taels of silver that were wasted.

Did Zhang Jinyu stare at Niu Jizong with wide eyes and Chen Ruiwen, so brazenly claiming first place was not brave enough?

If you fight hard, even if you can't win, you will never lose because of your momentum.

The three women obviously didn't think of that. They were all discussing in a low voice, why are they all fighting for first place? Can't they be second? Looking at the expressions of the three women, it is obvious that they don't think the so-called momentum is anything.

Zhang Jinyu did not take the initiative to explain, but silently glanced at the other young princes in the palace, presumably they had the same idea.

Steward Wang’s loud voice sounded;

"Okay, the Yunzhong frontier army bets on the first place, 10,000 taels. That already shows the momentum of the frontier army. The frontier army of Beihe is coming to the east. This is one of the nine frontier armies of Dawu. He once went deep into Donghu alone.

Fighting for the southern part, killing more than 3,000 people fighting for the southern part, and leaving calmly. Such achievements shocked the entire northern region. Now I ask General Liu of the North River Army to pay attention."

Liu Fang, who was standing on the fourth floor, was in a complicated mood. Knowing that the two brothers in front had already given the answer, could it be that such a huge loss was stuck in her throat? The bodyguard behind her also had a complicated look on her face. Please tell me if she has the strength to compete for the first place.

I don’t have that in my heart either.

But even the glory of the past cannot let them bow their heads.

"General,"

The guard was about to say something, but Liu Fang raised her leg to stop him. He saw Liu Fang looking eastward and shouted at the high platform;
