Chapter 121 Abandoning the old and drawing the new
"Who has no faults? If you can correct your faults, there is no greater good." Zuo Chuan, the second year of Xuan Gong
At this time, Xun You, Jia Xu and others were still thinking about who was planning to ambush Zhang Meng. Gaishun, who was silent on the side, suddenly turned over and dismounted, clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty! This battle has not been fully successful, which makes Your Majesty worried like this. The so-called
You are worried about your work, and you have humiliated me to death. I see it in my eyes, and I feel deeply guilty! I also ask for your majesty’s permission. I am willing to lead six thousand tigers under my command to search for the traces of Cheng Yin, Hou Xuan and others.
Offer your head!"
"That's easy to say. Do you know where Cheng Yin went?" The emperor was unmoved, glanced at Gai Shun, and said calmly.
"Before I came, I had inquired about the geography of the east of Hedong. Puban is located at the intersection of the Su River and the big river. If you go northeast along the Su River, you will find Jie County. Its land is backed by mountains and rivers, separated by Anyi and
The position between Pu and Ban is critical. Cheng Yin has little food and grass at this time, so he must go to Jie County to rest and recuperate before he can plan his next step back." Gaishun did his homework and had a good grasp of the mountains and rivers in Hedong.
The tattoo made everyone present look askance.
The emperor was also a little surprised, but he still did not let go. He only whispered two words: "It's rare."
"Your Majesty!" Geshun changed from kneeling on one knee to kneeling on both legs. He bowed his head and said, "I think I have had a lot of arrogance in the past, which led to me making mistakes. This year, I have been ashamed and angry.
If the late emperor were still here, you would have to scold me for being such an unscrupulous son! I have always wanted to avenge my past humiliation, so please, Your Majesty, remember that I have had little merit in the past, and be gracious and allow it!"
Gai Shun's words were very emotional and sincere. The emperor couldn't help but feel warm in his heart when he saw Gai Shun's anxious expression of expectation and regret. He suddenly seemed to have seen Gai Shun's actions when Wang Yun murdered Dong Zhuo last year.
Shun's expression was also so resolute and resolute, and his ears couldn't help but echo the promise he made to Gaishun that day in order to win over him. It seemed that the other party had really learned from his mistakes and wanted to change his past.
The emperor suppressed the complicated thoughts in his heart, looked at Gaishun still kneeling on the ground, and said: "Get up, a great general like a tiger and a brave man, why are you crying in public? Don't lose morale."
Geshun made a promise and stood up with a gloomy look on his face, looking downcast and hanging his head in silence.
At this time, the emperor sighed faintly and said: "You can know where you are wrong and dare to correct it, which is a great kindness. Even if I don't care about the relationship between you and me as monarchs and ministers in the past, I still have to respect your ancestors.
For Gai Gong’s sake, I’ll give you another chance. After all, you are a loyal and loyal person, so you have to receive some preferential treatment no matter what. Besides, I always give people a second chance.”
Gaishun suddenly raised his head, his eyes blazing with blazing light again. He clasped his fists again and said firmly to the emperor: "I promise!"
"Xu Rong!" The emperor stopped looking at him and suddenly greeted him.
Xu Rong, the lieutenant general of Yulin who had been watching, heard the emperor's words. He was suddenly startled and subconsciously responded: "Wei!"
"Let's do it as we did last year. You two will still lead Yu Lin, and Huben will lead the attack." The emperor looked at Xu Rong, and then his eyes moved to the person behind Xu Rong, where Xu Huang was sitting on a horse: "
Twelve thousand Confederate troops, marching by land and water, must travel day and night to reach Jiexian County as soon as possible. I said this time that I am marching in person, but actually I have to rely on you to fight the actual battle for me. After you arrive at Jiexian County,
If I can capture the city, so be it. If I can't, there's no need to force it. I will lead the remaining Northern Army to join forces with you."
After saying that, the emperor looked at Geshun who was already eager to try, and couldn't help but warn him: "To be fair, you can't go on a business trip this time."
"Your Majesty!" They both responded in unison, their voices loud and clear, but one voice was calm and restrained, while the other voice was trembling with excitement.
"Your Majesty, then General" Zhang Meng raised his head at this time and said hesitantly with the same hope.
He originally wanted to take this opportunity to go with Gaishun to conquer the county so that he could atone for his sins. Unexpectedly, the emperor seemed to suddenly notice him: "You? Last time you accompanied the army to conquer Baibo, and you won it for your merits in beheading generals."
The title of Marquis of Guannei should be deprived at this time due to the offence."
"Ah?" Zhang Meng was stunned. He didn't expect that he would not get the atonement for his sins. Instead, he would be reminded of the emperor's responsibility for his crimes. This made Zhang Meng feel so miserable that he couldn't say anything, so he had to say with a grimace: "Only
,Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Majesty!"
"That's right." The emperor saw Zhang Meng's deflated look and smiled silently. He suddenly called Xu Rong closer and whispered, "Bring that man along and let me see what he can do."
"Only." Xu Rong agreed, but he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Now the Confederate army is divided into two groups, Yulin and Huben, each with 6,000 people. They are all stationed outside the city. Although the Confederate army is guaranteed daily training, they have no time.
Taking into account Lang Wei's initial responsibilities, in addition to sending people to the palace in turns to guard the palace, the emperor also formed an additional Yulin and Huben of about 500 people in front of the palace to take on the traditional responsibilities of guarding the palace, although they nominally belonged to the same palace.
The Southern Army system is actually two parts with the regular army outside the city.
These Yu Linlang and Hu Benlang in front of the palace are either the descendants of the generals inherited from their ancestors, such as Hou Zhe, or the hostages of some foreign generals left in the capital, such as Zhang Xiu, or they are those who have outstanding personal martial arts talents and are regarded by the emperor.
Future generals would always stay around to exert influence, such as Pang De, who had been sent to Bingzhou from the post of Habayashiro at this time.
In Xu Rong's opinion, the person the emperor just mentioned did not fall into the above three categories. Instead, he was quite suspicious because he did the right thing at the right time.
What do you mean by looking at his abilities? Does the emperor not only trust him, but also want to reuse him?
Xu Rong, who once again took on the responsibility of supporting the emperor's younger generations, thought as he received the military talisman and the letter, and set off with the ambitious Gaishun.
The emperor stood on a slope on horseback, watching Xu Rong and others lead the troops to leave. It was the afternoon, the sky was clear and cloudless, and the Sushui River was flowing slowly down the slope, like a fluttering ribbon from the sky.
The mountains at the end continued here. The grass on the shore was green, and the breeze blew, the water rippled, and the grass swayed. The emperor looked along and saw a wide and flat avenue, juxtaposed with straight and curved rivers.
Bend straight, like a giant abandoning his bow on the ground.
"Your Majesty." Jia Xu called softly from behind.
The emperor came back to his senses, turned around and saw Yulin Lang Mengda standing in the distance, seeming to have something important to report.
"Is it Wang Yi who wants to see you?"
Jia Xu nodded. As early as when Cheng Yin led his troops to fight Gao Shun, Wang Yi led the county soldiers to participate in the battle from the rear. After so long, Wang Yi had long wanted to request an audience to report the situation in Hedong face to face.
Already.
"The scenery here is pleasant, and it is just a place for conversation." The emperor smiled slightly and couldn't help but glance at the straight and wide road again: "Send him over here, I have many things to tell him."
This is the last update! With 10,000 words, I finally don’t owe you any more updates! Praise me hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
