Prince Yunlan's plan to attack Dongling was unanimously denied. No one agreed, and the people present were not stupid. If they were defeated, everyone would be held accountable after returning.
When the time comes, not to mention that Wu Shamao will not be safe, he may even lose his life.
The four countries jointly attacked the southern end, and everyone agreed.
"You idiots, we just want to take advantage of them and attack Dongling to inspire the three armies!" Prince Yunlan was furious. Why didn't everyone agree?
"If Your Highness wants to attack Dongling, it is not impossible, but the time is not yet ripe. We have suffered losses at the hands of the south end several times. It is better to deal with the south end first. When the time is right, it will not be too late for us to attack Dongling." Hui Lu
I had no choice but to think of a roundabout way; "Yunlan and Dongling have always been friendly neighboring countries, with very few conflicts. Once a war breaks out, it will be difficult for His Highness to explain."
"Your Highness, what the military advisor said is absolutely true. There will always be opportunities in the future."
Prince Yunlan couldn't hear a word, and said angrily: "Isn't it just that Dongling plotted against me today? I don't recognize this evil breath!"
"Your Highness, think twice."
No matter how this group of people tried to persuade him, Prince Yunlan was determined to attack Dongling. For this reason, he specially arrested a deputy general and beat him with twenty sticks: "From now on, anyone who dares to obstruct Gu will be punished by military law!"
When everyone saw this, they shut up and looked helpless. The prince had no talent and no virtue and could only mess around. It was really disappointing.
…
Emperor Mingwen saw that all the people sent out had returned intact, and the smile on his face became thicker: "Okay,
You are all good, I will reward you generously!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Vice General Li knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, last month you led troops to sneak attack Yunlan
, after the great victory, Chu Shang Palace made so many delicious rewards, you are so eloquent that anyone who returns from a victorious battle will have a sumptuous meal."
Everyone couldn't help but get excited when they heard this. They didn't catch it the first time, but the scent is still fresh in their memory.
Lieutenant General Li didn't make it last time. Another lieutenant in the same camp ate meat and drank wine. He was so greedy that he stomped his feet.
Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do. Rules are rules and cannot be broken.
Looking forward to the stars and the moon, I finally waited for this opportunity. Vice General Li did not care about the etiquette of monarchs and ministers, and directly made a request to Emperor Mingwen.
Emperor Mingwen frowned slightly.
"No problem!" Chu Yunning came from not far away: "The Emperor knows that you will definitely come back victorious, so he has asked me to prepare the raw materials in advance and wait for everyone. Everyone should go back and wash up first. In two hours
Let everyone eat and drink well!"
"Okay!" Vice General Li was a little excited.
On the side, Emperor Mingwen touched the tip of his nose and came to Chu Yunning: "Aning, I will accompany you."
"Huh?" Chu Yunning was surprised: "Those are all dirty jobs. I don't dare to let the emperor raise his hands."
"The emperor is also a human being. Why can't he do menial and dirty work? Our emperor wants to have fun with the people. Chu Shang Palace is not allowed to refute the emperor's enthusiasm." Eunuch Mo immediately helped, and his words made Mo Mo roll his eyes.
The father-in-law accepted it with a smile.
Seeing this, Chu Yunning had no choice but to say: "Well, I'll just roast the whole lamb for a while. It'll be quite warm by the stove, and I can also exercise."
So Emperor Mingwen changed into a regular shirt and went to the food camp. He saw a dazzling array of things and was speechless: "You prepared all this?"
"It's not just me, there are other brothers." Chu Yunning said with a smile.
I bought several pigs from the surrounding villagers and slaughtered them, marinated some bacon, stuffed the intestines with several pots of pig blood, boiled the big bone sticks into soup, and prepared to stew the sauerkraut and blood sausage.
As soon as the lid of the pot was opened, the white soup was bubbling, and a strong aroma hit the face.
Emperor Mingwen swallowed his throat: "Why have I never seen you cook this dish?"
"It just happens to be made from local materials. If the emperor likes it, he can ask the imperial kitchen to make it for you every day when he returns to the palace."
The cost of these pots of sauerkraut blood sausage is very low, and the taste is delicious. It is enough for many people to eat. The remaining pigs are put into the water. After cleaning up quickly, Chu Yunning plans to make three kinds of fat sausages, followed by more than a dozen pigs.
After the ears and pig tongue are cooked, they are made into cold sauce with hot and sour taste.
Last time, the roasted whole lamb was well received. This time, we stewed several pots of lamb offal soup and roasted three lambs. Emperor Mingwen was turning the rack aside and adding fire to it from time to time.
"Did you come up with all this alone?"
Chu Yunning nodded: "I like to eat, so I like to study it. What does the emperor think of the taste?"
"Very good." Ever since I tasted the dishes prepared by Chu Yunning, the dishes prepared in the imperial kitchen are simply unpalatable.
Chu Yunning took out a dagger and skillfully slashed the sheep's body one by one to make it easier to absorb the flavor. After a while, the aroma wafted out, making people drool.
While it was still hot, Chu Yunning cut off a piece and handed it to Emperor Mingwen. He also paired it with fresh chive sauce and fresh lettuce.
Emperor Mingwen was slightly stunned, but he still cooperated and opened his mouth wide and bit Chu Yunning's hand. When he touched his fingertips, Chu Yunning quickly retracted his hand and his face immediately turned red: "Your Majesty...how does your Majesty think it tastes?"
?”
"Very good!" Emperor Mingwen curled his lips. He had forgotten the taste in his mouth, only remembering the touch of softness on his lips.
When Eunuch Mo saw this, he covered his mouth and smiled, and quietly took two steps back to retreat. As soon as he turned around, he bumped into Lieutenant General Li's chest with a loud bang.
"Ouch!" Eunuch Mo covered the tip of his nose, his eyes were so painful that he almost fainted. Just when he was about to scold who was so short-sighted, Deputy General Li held his arm; "Eunuch Mo,
Be careful."
Lieutenant General Li came over after smelling the smell. He couldn't wait and sniffed hard: "I came to see if there is anyone in Chu Shang Palace who needs any help."
When he raised his head, Vice Admiral Li met Emperor Mingwen's gloomy eyes, and suddenly paused, not knowing why.
He felt so cold that he was too scared to move.
"What a coincidence, the emperor...the emperor is here too." Vice General Li wanted to turn around and leave. He could imagine that Emperor Mingwen was also here to join in the fun.
The ambiguous atmosphere that had just arisen was interrupted. Emperor Mingwen had a stinky face and wished he could drag Vice General Li out and give him a hard slap.
"Since Vice General Li likes to help, I will leave these three stoves to you. I have something else to do, so I will leave first."
Before leaving, Emperor Mingwen did not forget to take one more look at Vice General Li. He was so frightened that Vice General Li's back was soaked with moisture. He lowered his head tightly and did not dare to say a word.
After the people had gone away, Lieutenant General Li breathed a sigh of relief: "Chu Shanggong, did you say something wrong to offend the emperor? Why does the emperor look like this?"
Logically speaking, Emperor Mingwen should be happy that the battle was won and everyone came back intact. How could he have such a straight face and look like he wanted to eat people?
Chu Yunning shrugged, she didn't know what was going on.
"Chu Shanggong, when will this mutton be ready?" Vice General Li's attention was quickly attracted by the aroma.
At this time, the curtain was raised, and Eunuch Mo turned back: "Vice General Li, the emperor said that you made a mistake last time.
I will be punished by copying the military regulations a hundred times and hand them in tomorrow morning. If you fail to complete them, you will be punished by military law!"
Lieutenant General Li was stunned. What mistake had he made?
Just as he was about to ask, Eunuch Mo had already turned around and left without explaining at all, but Lieutenant General Li chased after him unwillingly, pretending to ask Emperor Mingwen to find out whether he should be punished for nothing.
"Vice General Li had better not go, otherwise you will be in trouble today." Eunuch Mo couldn't help but remind him.
Without any discernment, the relationship between the emperor and Chu Shanggong finally eased, but was interrupted.
Not beating Lieutenant General Li on the spot was already considered generous of the Emperor.
"Really?" Lieutenant General Li subconsciously touched his buttocks and frowned. Although he didn't know what mistake he made, the look the emperor looked at him just now was indeed murderous.
So he was too sensible to keep up.
"Vice General Li, it's getting late. You'd better hurry up and copy the military regulations to avoid getting beaten again." Eunuch Mo sympathized with Vice General Li.
Asking a military general to write and draw would be more enjoyable than typing on a wooden board.
Lieutenant General Li touched his belly aggrievedly, "But I haven't eaten yet. I have to fill my stomach before I have the strength to write, right?"
"Vice General Li, it's better not to delay. Write one more article to make the emperor less angry."
The reason why Emperor Mingwen imposed the penalty at this juncture was because he did not want Vice General Li to eat and teach him a lesson.
Only in this way can the anger be relieved.
"But..." Vice General Li was still confused. He didn't know what was wrong, but the emperor's order was inevitable, so there was nothing he could do. He muttered: "That's all, then I'll just copy it."
Eunuch Mo was just about to say something like a child can be taught. Unexpectedly, Vice General Li turned around and entered the camp. He was holding a leg of lamb that was always warm and gnawing on it as he walked. He did not forget to wave to Eunuch Mo: "Excuse me, please tell me."
Your Majesty, I will stay up all night and do my best, and please calm down."
Along the way, the aroma wafted away, and the soldiers passing by stared at Lieutenant General Li eagerly, so that Lieutenant General Li ran away in fear.
Seeing this, Eunuch Mo shook his head helplessly.
Soon the whole lamb feast was ready, and each table was guaranteed to have four or five bowls of meat, lamb offal soup, roasted whole lamb, sauerkraut big bone soup, sauerkraut stewed blood sausage, and each dish had a lot of meat.
Those who had no chance to eat could only watch helplessly, wishing they could immediately pick up their weapons and go find Yunlan to settle the score.
When countless deputy generals came to see Emperor Mingwen, Emperor Mingwen couldn't bear the noise. He rubbed his eyebrows and said to several people: "Each of you has made a plan. If it succeeds, tonight we will divide into four small teams and besiege Yunlan."
.”
"Really?"
"The emperor wants to keep his word, but he is not allowed to lie to us."
"Yes, we have been waiting for this day for a long time."
Several people were very excited.
Emperor Mingwen's mouth twitched slightly, as these were his useless subordinates, and he said with a straight face: "When did I go back on my word?"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
After a few people kowtowed, they simply refused to leave and began to make new plans in the camp, their faces red from the argument.
Emperor Mingwen rubbed his eyebrows. His original intention was not to raise a group of bloodthirsty and warlike subordinates, but now it seems that he can no longer control it.
With the sound of quarreling ringing in his ears, Emperor Mingwen let out a long sigh.
Especially when we started eating, drinking, and fist-fighting outside, the arguments in the camp became louder and louder, and I wanted to leave immediately.
Finally, two hours later, the plan was formulated.
It is divided into four directions, two hidden routes, and two open attack routes. We have prepared dry food and plan to lead people to a mountain col. If it doesn't work, we will attack openly.
Emperor Mingwen heard the complete plan. These people had even chosen their retreat route. He had no reason not to agree.
It took a while before the correct word came out of his mouth.
Ever since
At three o'clock in the middle of the night, a group of people quietly left the camp and rushed to the agreed positions. They sniffed hard and said, "I also want to eat roasted whole lamb until I'm full!"
"The general is wise!"
At that time, the Yunlan state-owned tent was still discussing the plan to attack Dongling as soon as possible. Prince Yunlan didn't want to wait for a moment, and all he could think about was Shen Bi's smile.
He couldn't wait to take off the veil and see her face.
Others could not persuade them, so they were forced to participate in the plan. Prince Yunlan slammed the table: "This matter is settled, everyone will be ready to go tomorrow morning."
As soon as he finished speaking, a shout came from the front of the camp.
The soldier hurriedly came to report: "Your Highness, a lot of soldiers and horses were suddenly discovered three miles outside the camp. Just back from the spies, people from the south have come to attack us."
"What?" Prince Yunlan was furious; "The south end is bullying us too much. It has attacked us several times. We should be taught a lesson."
"Your Highness, it's not good. There are people attacking from all four directions: east, west, north and south. What should we do now?"
"Could it be that the other two countries are also coming to attack us?"
"No, Yunlan has enough troops. These people are asking for trouble when they come to attack Yunlan."
This is just self-deception. If several other countries unite, Yunlan will definitely not be an opponent.
At that time, everyone was rejoicing. Fortunately, Dongling was not attacked. Otherwise, if a sneak attack came from the south, Yunlan would be defeated.
Hui Lu said: "Your Highness, this is a critical moment. We can no longer attack Dongling. Our troops are simply not enough to defend against the two countries."
They underestimated the South End from the beginning.
The strength of the South End cannot be underestimated, and it is constantly expanding in scale. It is said that every soldier in the South End has a monthly report.
Yunlan's side has already been in a panic. After several defeats, the morale of the army has begun to weaken. If it is not corrected in time, it will be very dangerous!
Prince Yunlan, however, insisted on having his own way: "I am not afraid of the south end. I am sure to win the south end and Dongling!"
Everyone was disappointed with Prince Yunlan when they saw this. It was too selfish to ignore everyone's life and death for the sake of a woman.
Such a person is not worthy of commanding the armed forces at all. If he becomes emperor one day in the future, the people of Liming will also suffer.
Just at this time, an imperial edict came from Yunlan Kyoto.
When Prince Yunlan saw this, he killed him with one sword without waiting for anyone to declare the order. "The general is not obeying the foreign military orders. Today I am going to kill all the enemies. Come and follow me to kill the enemy!"
Everyone was dumbfounded, that was an imperial edict!
Is the prince crazy?
So everyone turned all their attention to Hui Lu. Hui Lu looked helpless. He had no choice but to kill the prince.
