Volume 2: Storms and clouds surging, thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River Chapter 309: Intimidation
Ning Yuanwen knew this news. Along the way, he was thinking about how he would respond if Gao Qiu told him the news. The actions and words in front of him were something he had thought about dozens of times in his mind.
"This... family is unfortunate..." Ning Yuanwen read the letter again and asked tremblingly: "Sir, is this... absolutely true?"
Gao Qiu did not watch Ning Yuanwen's performance at all and did not speak, but Zhao Yin on the side sneered: "Humph, of course it is absolutely true. It took three lives to bring this news out. Ning, you
Is it absolutely true? Others are afraid of your Ning family, but I, Zhao Yin, are not."
"I, Zhou Kezhi, am not afraid either. The Ning family has not left the mountain for ten years. If it had not been for the imperial edict in person, no one would be able to invite anyone. I thought the Ning family was ready to take back the land in Hexi. It turns out there is a traitor in the family.
I'm too embarrassed to see anyone." Zhou Kezhi also said coldly, inserting the knife in his hand into the case with a clang.
Ning Yuanwen hurriedly knelt down and put his hands on the ground: "My Ning family has indeed been wronged in this matter. Please take a closer look."
After a long time, Gao Qiu slowly opened his mouth and said: "Mingcha? Ning Buhui commanded 50,000 troops and stationed them in Qingyang Town, under the banner of Yongle. What do you think this should be calculated as?"
The voice was not loud, even a little soft, but it was this softest voice that said the most desperate words.
Zhao Yin shouted: "Haha, this is naturally calculated as a rebellion. According to the law, the three clans will be punished. No one from your Ning family can escape."
As he said that, he pulled out the knife from the left and right, and with the cold light shining, Gao Qiu patted the table: "What are you doing? You also want to rebel?"
The left and right looked at each other, then put away the knife and stepped back.
Ning Yuanwen thought that Gao Qiu would force him, but he didn't expect it to be so tight. It was impossible to say that he was not nervous. He hurriedly said: "My lord, I am wronged. My little sister has not been heard from since she disappeared three years ago. I
The Ning family has been searching for three years but has no clue. It turns out that they were kidnapped by Manichaean monsters and bewitched by them..."
"We, the Ning family, are willing to personally lead our troops to Luzhou, kill the Manichean monster, and bring Ning Buhui back to plead guilty to you." Ning Yuanwen raised his head and said: "Once Luzhou is defeated, Jinling will be just around the corner, sir.
His name will be remembered forever."
"But Chuzhou was defeated by the Ning family's army. The memorial to the imperial court has been prepared..." Gao Qiu said slowly.
When Ning Yuanwen heard this, he gritted his teeth and said: "Chuzhou was not defeated by the Ningshan Prefecture Army, but by your lord's military skills. As soon as the military department arrived, our Ningshan Prefecture Army lured the enemy out of the city, but it was your lord who defeated the enemy. If not
Your Excellency, cut off his retreat, and the thief will return to Chuzhou. Even if we have 200,000 troops from Ningshan Prefecture, we cannot break the city."
"Really?" Gao Qiu chuckled and looked at the generals in the audience.
Zhao Yin sneered: "Of course it is, otherwise how could we defeat the enemy and enter the city so quickly? The Ningshan army is stationed in Chuzhou, and our army is behind to provide support, in order to keep the enemy out of Chuzhou city."
"So, let's write another one..." Gao Qiu said, raised his hand, pondered for a moment, and then said: "As for the information report, let's put it here first. After all, it is Old General Ning who has been born and died all his life, and has devoted all his energy to it.
, His loyalty can be measured by the sun and the moon. If we make rash judgments without seeing him, we will be negligent in our duties. We have wronged our loyal ministers, but we will be infamy for thousands of years."
Beads of sweat fell from Ning Yuanwen's head, and his underwear was completely soaked. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, sir. I will go back now, lead the troops to attack the city, and capture Ning Buhui alive. I will give you an answer."
"General Ning is so polite. Haha, I'm right here, waiting for good news from General Ning." Gao Qiu said without changing his expression.
Ning Yuanwen stood up, saluted Gao Qiu, and exited the Chinese army's tent. The flags outside the tent were ringing. The sun had already reached the top of the head. Soldiers and horses were training in the camp gate with great momentum. Ning Yuanwen walked down the steps, and suddenly
His vision went dark and he almost fell down, but He Zirong pushed away the two officers and soldiers in front of him and supported Ning Yuanwen, but he was greatly surprised.
Ning Yuanwen did not dare to mount the horse, so He Zirong mounted it, holding the horse with one hand and supporting Ning Yuanwen with the other. Until they got out of the camp gate, the two of them galloped towards Chuzhou City.
"Sir, how can we let the tiger return to the mountain?" Zhao Yin stepped forward, glanced at the curtain of the big tent, turned to Gao Qiu and said.
"As soon as Ning Yuanwen left Chuzhou City, Ning Yuanwu led three thousand cavalry five miles away. Xu Xuanjie led one hundred thousand soldiers and horses out of the city to form an array. Do you think Ning Yuanwen could not get out of the gate?
, what will they plan?" Gao Qiu said slowly, this is exactly the information those scouts told him just now.
Zhou Kezhi said: "Is it possible that Ningshan Mansion still wants to rebel? There is a mutiny in front of the formation. Even if he is Ning Que, we can kill him first and then report him."
Gao Qiu shook his head and said: "The two generals have been in the Ministry of War for a long time, and some things have become simpler. This kid just now was just acting. If he died here and Fang La was not destroyed, we would start a chaos. In the court,
The left prime minister is not easy to deal with either. The matter is very important, so it is better to be cautious."
"Old General Ning has worked hard for the country. No matter what he does, he must be informed."
Zhou Kezhi and Zhao Yin said in unison: "Master Gao has a clear lesson..."
"It's just that Ning Buhui is in Qingyang, and Luzhou has already stationed 150,000 troops. Once Ning Yuanwen leaves with 100,000 troops, Chuzhou City..." Zhao Yin said again: "If Ningshan Mansion turns against him..."
Zhou Kezhi said: "If he changes sides, it will be difficult..."
"Rebellion? Haha, old general Ning Que should arrive in a few days. Oh, by the way, I have to tell them the news." Gao Qiu chuckled.
The two looked at each other. If Ning Que arrived, no matter who it was, he would not be able to fight back. This move is indeed a high one. Doesn't it mean that General Ning is seriously ill?
"High, it's really high. This move, sir, is a great move by the general. Once Ning Que comes, it will be difficult for these two boys to make any trouble, but... the left prime minister..." Zhou Kezhi
He spoke softly, with a troubled expression on his face.
After Gao Qiu knew that the two were confidants of Left Prime Minister Li Linfu, he kept them in the tent and sent the rest out, so there was not much taboo against them.
As for Zuo Rong's attitude toward Ningshan Mansion, the two of them were well aware of it, and that's why they said these words.
Gao Qiu smiled slightly: "Ning Quelai is good for defeating the enemy. Fang La can make such a plan. I can only say that he is very courageous and strategic, but he does not have enough vision. Proclaiming himself emperor is his biggest obstacle.
A failure."
"What? Found it? Where is it?" Ning Que dropped the crutch in his hand and stood up with a scrape.
The man with the splayed eyebrows cupped his hands and bent down: "In Qingyang County, the banner of Fang La is being raised. The two young masters have already passed, but Mr. Gao is afraid that the two young masters will turn against him and bring hundreds of thousands of Ning family members with him."
The army surrendered to the enemy and in turn attacked the imperial court..."
Ning Que frowned. This situation is not impossible. Although Yuan Wen is steady, this is his first time on the battlefield. Xu Xuanjie is following here, just in case he has a wrong idea...
Ning Yuanwu is also a fool. He has never stopped looking for Ning Buhui in the past three years. Now that he has found Ning Buhui, he will inevitably...
And the person in front of him now was sent by Gao Qiu, not Xu Xuanjie. What does this mean? It means that Xu Xuanjie is hesitating whether he should know this news or not. Why not let him know? Ning Que dare not go any further.
Come to think of it, if he ends up rebelling in the end after spending his whole life as a soldier and honoring his ancestors...
Under the Nine Springs, I have no face to face my ancestors...
