Chapter 1083 Dai Quan: Your Majesty, this is the good news and memorial from Duke Wei.
Sparse!
Shenjing City
In recent months, the entire Shenjing City has focused its attention on the war in the northwest, and the civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty have been talking about one thing.
It was Duke Wei who led the troops and stood still at the entrance of the East Canyon for half a month!
As Jia Heng thought, this was a rare thing in the past.
Thinking about every time Jia Heng went on an expedition, he always led the troops with unstoppable momentum and won every victory. But since he led the troops to the northwest, he was overwhelmed by the stronghold. This has never happened before.
Is this Duke of Wei still okay?
A question mark rose in the hearts of some ill-intentioned courtiers.
It's dark in the Korean house, and the lights are bright in the attic in the backyard where you can watch the moon.
Today is the birth of Han Huang's son. Under Mrs. Han's insistence, Han Huang still made simple arrangements, but only invited some relatives and friends, but there were also a few students from the Metropolitan Procuratorate who came to visit.
Yan Hong asked: "Brother, do you know the recent news circulating in Beijing?"
Han Huang sat on the grand master's chair in the hall and asked, "What's the news?"
"Gong Wei led the troops to Xining for a month, but there was no news at all. It was said that the advance of the troops was not going smoothly." Yan Hong said.
At this time, Zhang Zhi, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, said: "Teacher, my colleagues in the Metropolitan Procuratorate have recently planned to report tomorrow to ask the current emperor to stop the troops and eliminate the military disaster."
Han Huang frowned, put down the wine cup in his hand, and asked, "What's going on?"
The tall and lanky official next to Zhang Zhi, who was Xu Qiaonian from the Criminal Division, said: "Teacher, since the beginning of the spring of the 16th year of Chongping, the imperial court has fought two wars, which can be described as excessive military force, and the entire army of the Western Expedition was wiped out.
It is a national tragedy! In the city of Shenjing, every ten households have a family wearing sackcloth and wearing mourning. The sound of howling resounds throughout the capital. Mencius said, although the country is big, if it forgets to fight, it will be in danger, and if it is warlike, it will perish. The Holy Spirit sent troops to Xining because of Nan'an and others.
However, the dragon's body is not hesitant and cannot see things now. It can be seen that the continuous war disasters and repeated use of weapons are a disaster for the country and the country, for the people and the common people, and for the well-being of the king and father. If it is a disaster, why don't I, a big man, stop fighting?"
It must be said that Xu Qiaonian spoke fluently, and at the end he used a parallelism sentence to enhance his momentum and make him more contagious.
Zhang Zhi agreed and said: "Yes, my dear teacher, this year there is a drought in Huguang, another bad harvest, and a big gap in summer grain. Now the Ministry of Revenue is still transporting grain to the northwest. In this way, the state treasury has long been unable to support the two wars.
"
"I was drinking with a doctor from the Ministry of Finance the day before yesterday, and I heard him mention that this year Jiangnan will be divided into two provinces. Summer grain has been suspended due to the new law. There are many local governments waiting to see, and summer classes are not yet complete." Yin Zhenhu, another Hanlin editor, said.
.
In a word, they are against the new law and against the war.
Han Huang's eyes flashed and he asked: "Now, in terms of science and technology, are we going to stop the troops and eliminate the cause of the disaster?"
In fact, he has also noticed some recent trends in public opinion in Beijing. It is simply that the military situation in the northwest is not going well, and public opinion in Beijing has begun to turn.
The day before yesterday, Liu Zheng, the Minister of Rites, mentioned in private that if it really didn't work out, it would be better to agree to the marriage request between Qinghai and Shuote Mongolia, so that they could still live in peace.
Yan Hong said: "Duke Wei has been in the northwest for so long, which shows that the situation in the northwest is quite difficult. Brother, if these 50,000 elite cavalry troops are lost again, it will really shake the foundation of the country."
To put it bluntly, I am not optimistic about Jia Heng’s battle.
"Yes, mentor." Han Huang's three students said.
Han Huang narrowed his eyes and said, "What are you going to do?"
"To be honest, my mentor, tomorrow is a great dynasty. The officials of the Ministry of Science and Technology and some ministries will ask the Holy One to immediately recall Duke Wei and make peace! If the Holy One refuses, we will kneel down in the Hanyuan Hall.
, I also hope that when the Holy One asks for the opinions of the cabinet ministers, my mentor will agree with our proposal to stop the army and make peace." At this time, Zhang Zhi's eyes were glaring, and he saw the truth with a sharp dagger.
Han Huang's elegant face froze for a moment, and he said slowly: "That's not the case. Regarding the front line, the Duke of Wei has grown up to plan for the country and uses his troops like a god. Maybe it won't take long to defeat the enemy."
If there is anything that Han Huang can still believe a little bit, it is Jia Heng's ability to lead troops. This is an unbreakable recognition that he has gradually become convinced during many wars.
"Although Duke Wei is good at fighting, he was trapped under the stronghold for half a month this time and could not make an inch further. This shows that Heshuote Mongolia is really difficult to deal with. The students and others are not doubting Duke Wei. Duke Wei sent troops this time.
It is too hasty. At this time, the army has been newly defeated and its morale is low. The imperial court cannot show its strength again and should hide its strength and bide its time." Xu Qiaonian's eyes showed wisdom and said: "Teacher, the facts also support what the student said. The army was stopped for half a month and nothing could be done.
"
When Han Huang heard this, he frowned and said: "The matter of using troops is so sophisticated that even a teacher doesn't know it."
"Teacher, tomorrow not only the science and education, but also the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty will propose peace talks. The war has been dragging on for a long time and it has come to an end." Zhang Zhi said.
Han Huang looked silent and sighed slightly in his heart.
Yan Hong said: "Brother, we are all doing this for the sake of the Han Dynasty."
And just when Han Huang's students were trying to persuade him, Nan'an County Prince's Mansion and the back hall -
Princess Nan'an and Princess Luo were sitting in the hall, and by coincidence, they were also discussing the military affairs in the northwest.
In other words, they were discussing the whereabouts of Prince Nan'an.
The news that Yan Ye was exchanged for Shuo Tuo had reached the capital half a month ago, and not only Yan Ye but also Liu Fang was among them.
Concubine Nan'an's face was pale, her eyes were filled with hatred, and she said, "I wonder how Ye'er is doing in Xining Mansion? That little beast of the Jia family, I don't know how he abused Ye'er."
Ever since Princess Nan'an was stripped of her title, she has become like this. She no longer has any respect for Jia Heng. In private, "that boy of the Jia family" has been changed to "little beast".
It hurts so much. The title of concubine, which was three levels higher than that of Mrs. Gaoming, was suddenly taken away. Now she is not even Mrs. Gaoming and is still imprisoned in the mansion.
Luo Shi said: "Mother...Mother, isn't Prince Wei also in Xining Mansion? With him taking care of me, the prince should not be in any serious trouble."
Princess Nan'an said: "King Wei is not a reliable person. It has only been a long time since Liu came to the door, and he already accepted his concubine."
Luo Shi sighed and said: "We can't blame King Wei, it's because Liu's stomach is not up to par."
Princess Nan'an said: "This time, I heard that the little beast was trapped under the wall, and I knew that without the Lao Shizi cannon, he would not be able to compete with our Ye'er in a battle. Now he is better, with one soldier and horse
You can't even enter Qinghai, so what kind of Duke of Wei has only been fighting for a few years to win over the Communists?"
At the end of the sentence, a hint of joy appeared in the old eyes.
Luo Shi seemed to have said something new, and said: "Mom, it seems that the Liu family wore women's clothes earlier to beg for food?"
Princess Nan'an asked doubtfully: "Who did you listen to?"
Concubine Nan'an has been imprisoned in the house for the past few days, so the news is actually relatively limited.
"It was said by Yao'er, the female official who accompanied Yi Liu to the Wei Palace today." Luo Shi said with a complex expression, "Now it has been spread outside that talking about the Duke of Liu's family is detrimental to the country and has lost the dignity of the founding warriors."
.”
When Liu Fang came to discuss matters with the prince, she had seen him before, but she really didn't expect that he would dress like a woman just to beg for food and wine.
When Princess Nan'an heard this, her heart was slightly shaken and she quickly asked: "What about Ye'er..."
Wearing women's clothes is really a disgrace to a family that has been a prince for hundreds of years.
Luo Shi said quickly: "How could this be possible, Your Majesty? Your Majesty heard that he would rather die than surrender. After returning, he cursed the boss of the Liu family, saying that he had disgraced the founding hero of the country."
Princess Nan'an's eyes lit up and she said: "Our Ye'er still has the backbone. When the little beast of the Jia family is defeated, Ye'er returns to the capital. In view of the contributions made by his father and grandfather in the past, Gong
There should be some tolerance here."
Luo Shi said with a smile: "Don't worry, mother. Even though Duke Wei will give him whatever he can, he still can't win. At that time, the capital won't say anything about the prince."
Princess Nan'an nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, he is not even as good as Ye'er. When Ye'er led the army, he did not say that he was blocked on the road and could not get in even a step."
…
…
Daming Palace, Hanyuan Hall
The golden sunlight in the early morning shines on the palace covered with glazed tiles, the stream of light is shining and resplendent. From time to time, a few birds fly across the sky and make a few screams.
Today is a great dynasty and a court meeting.
After a month-long recuperation and rest, Emperor Chongping was basically able to take care of affairs in the outer court. At this moment, he was convening ministers to discuss the affairs of the court for this month.
There have been some twists and turns in the Jiangnan New Deal recently. Although the case in Changzhou Prefecture has been settled, the relevant criminals have been arrested and the relevant officials in Nanjing have been dealt with, but with the successive defeats in the northwest military campaign and Jia Heng's unsatisfactory march, Jiangnan
The gentry's willingness to cooperate with the New Deal gradually faded.
While the grains of summer grain were about to be returned to the warehouse, memorials of disaster reports and complaints from various places were delivered to Beijing like snowflakes.
When the matter was about to be discussed, Guo Pu from the Military Department took the lead to get out of the train and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the humble minister Guo Pu thought that Duke Wei should be recalled. Now that the affairs in the northwest are at a loss, and the national treasury is wasting money, please ask your Majesty."
Stop the war!"
As soon as these words came out, a fair-faced and fine-browed censor in charge of the imperial court, Wang Xueqin, the censor of Shanxi Taoism, came out and said: "Your Majesty, the humble minister of Shanxi Taoism, Wang Xueqin, is ignorant of the news."
, Wei Chen thought that he should quickly recall Duke Wei and negotiate peace with Qinghai and Shuote Mongolia to eliminate the military disaster."
At this time, Hu Yi, who was in the household department, said: "Your Majesty, the imperial court has lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the northwest. Now Duke Wei is trapped at the entrance of the East Canyon and cannot advance. I beg your Majesty to recall the army."
"I second the proposal." At this time, among the Metropolitan Procuratorate's train, Liu Guofu, the censor of Zhejiang Province, was the first to go out to second the proposal.
"Wei Chen seconded the proposal."
For a time, the ministers of science and education in the palace came out one after another to report the matter, and the voices of second opinions could not be heard.
When the memorial to the Kedao Yanguan comes to an end, the Liubu Tangguan will follow.
Pang Shilang, the Minister of Justice, said loudly: "Your Majesty, the war in the northwest has been going on for a month. The national treasury is draining huge amounts of money, and the Duke of Wei has still made no progress. The ministers thought it was time to stop the war and rebuild with Heshuote Mongolia.
The alliance is good, and envoys will be sent to discuss all matters in detail."
It has indeed been a month since Jiaheng mobilized the cavalry to Xining.
Emperor Chongping said in a deep voice: "My dear friends, the battle on the frontline can change in an instant. I am waiting with you in Shenjing, and Jia Ziyu is leading the troops in the northwest. I don't know the specific situation on the frontline, so it is inappropriate to rashly propose a withdrawal!"
Ziyu has been in Xining for so long, but he has not even delivered a military report. Is it true that the army is not going well? I am embarrassed to deliver memorials and flying pigeons.
At this time, Zhang Zhi, who was discussing matters at Han Huang's house last night, came out of the banquet, bowed his head, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Zhang Zhi, the imperial censor of Fujian Province, the minister of the imperial court, is now a foregone conclusion. We will defend the country."
The Duke led troops to Xining and sent troops to regain Huangyuan, but could not make any progress. According to reports from local officials in Xining, nearly a thousand soldiers were killed or injured every day. With such heavy casualties, there was no progress. The minister thought that he should withdraw his troops as soon as possible.
Protect the army."
The previous battle at the mouth of the East Canyon lasted for nearly half a month, and Chen Han's army also suffered many casualties. Because of the recruitment of medicinal materials and doctors from Xining, Lanzhou and other places, some rumors reached the ears of local officials.
Xu Qiongian said loudly: "Your Majesty, the troops and horses in the Beijing camp are only over 200,000. We have already lost 60,000 elites. Now we have sent 50,000 elites to the northwest. The important area in the capital has lost its guards. If the northwest suffers another big defeat,
, I am afraid that the country will be in turmoil."
Yao Yu, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, held an ivory and jade wat in his hand, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the sage said, turn the war into jade and silk. If the affairs in the northwest have not progressed, it is better to stop the troops and return to the court. As for the barbarians in the northwest, we can first adopt a gentle and pacifying strategy.
, instead of pretending to be a fool, I, the great Han, will wait for another one or two years, when the country is strong, and then send troops to the northwest to punish the people."
"Wei Chen seconded the proposal." Zhou Tingji, the Minister of Rites, bowed his hands and went out to say: "The first is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, and the third is to attack the city. Since Duke Wei's advance is unfavorable, Wei Chen thought that he should send an envoy to Heshuo Te.
Mongolia will discuss peace again."
As Zhou Tingji spoke, the officials present responded with their words.
When discussing peace, the debris rises.
Emperor Chongping looked at the ministers in the palace who were making impassioned speeches. He did not comment. Instead, he turned his attention to Qi Kun, the cabinet scholar, and asked: "Qi Qing, is the grain and fodder transferred to Xining complete? Is there ever a shortage of supplies?"
Qi Kun cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the grain in the Ministry of Finance is still sufficient to support the army's expedition, but it can only last for a month or two at most. The summer grain has been collected recently. Except for Henan, Shanxi, Hebei and other places, they have switched to sweet potatoes. Shandong, Huguang
There is a drought this year, and some places in the southern provinces have reported disasters."
At this time, Xu Qiongian invited him again and said: "Your Majesty, since the supply of food and fodder is insufficient, it is not suitable to go on expeditions and waste money and food. Once the national treasury is empty and there is a natural disaster, the ministers are worried that there will be no rice and food for relief, and there may be starvation deaths.
Prosperity."
After hearing this, all the academicians below also came out to echo.
In short, in one sentence, withdraw your troops!
Emperor Chongping looked indifferent and asked, "Has the Military Aircraft Department received the latest memorial from Duke Wei from the northwest?"
If the troops were to stop advancing and delay for a long time, with Ziyu's cautious temperament, he should send someone to urgently deliver a memorandum describing the situation on the front line to comfort him and the court. Why hasn't he seen it so far?
Shi Jiejie, the Minister of War, said: "Your Majesty, there is no memorial to be delivered to Beijing yet."
Emperor Chongping turned his attention to the cabinet ministers and asked: "What about the cabinet?"
Han Huang held an ivory and jade wat in his hand, expressionless, and said loudly: "Reporting to the Holy One, the cabinet has not received any reward yet."
At this moment, Cen Weishan, the minister of the Ministry of Justice, once again held the wat tablet and reported: "Your Majesty, since the beginning of the year, the country has been engaged in military warfare and wars, and the country's money has been wasted beyond measure. Now the Duke of Wei is wise and clumsy, and is trapped in
We cannot advance even an inch under the fortified stronghold. We, the Han Dynasty, are trapped in the quagmire of military affairs in the northwest. We must withdraw our troops and return them to the army to calm the hearts of the people at home and abroad. Otherwise, I am afraid that no matter how brave I am in fighting, I will be defeated."
What I said this time was a bit unpleasant and out of wit...
Following Cen Weishan's fierce words, Kedao's officials came out one after another and echoed: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask your Majesty to withdraw the troops and return them to the army, so as to calm people's hearts."
Suddenly, a wave of opposition surged, shaking the world, and seemed to engulf the Han Dynasty.
Under the thin and loose eyebrows of Emperor Chongping, his indifferent eyes glanced at the ministers who were kneeling down to ask for orders.
Jia Zheng, who was in the morning class, frowned slightly, his eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but feel worried.
Qin Ye's face also showed a melancholy look and he was worried.
Emperor Chongping glanced at the courtiers below and said in a deep voice: "The Duke of Wei has led his troops to Xining for less than a month. How can there be any quick victory when using troops? We, the emperor and our ministers, are in the court and do not know the details of the battle on the front line.
, don’t rashly raise the idea of withdrawing troops or shake the morale of the military!”
If a young emperor saw such a scene of courtiers kneeling down to greet each other, he would probably be at a loss. But it has been more than ten years since Emperor Chongping ascended the throne. What kind of battle has he not seen?
However, being forced to do so by his ministers, the middle-aged emperor still felt a little irritable.
It’s been so long and there’s still no news from Ziyu…
However, he chose to believe Zi Yu.
"Your Majesty." All the ministers of science and education knelt down one after another, bowed their heads, and said to each other: "Your Majesty, for the sake of the country of the Han Dynasty, I sincerely ask your Majesty to recall Duke Wei!"
"Recall Duke Wei!"
Ke Dao Yan Guan, Yao Yu, Cen Weishan, Zhou Tingji, Liu Zheng and other ministers once again stopped to invite the Prime Minister.
Emperor Chongping's face was silent, and his eyes looking at the ministers below began to become a little gloomy and uncertain, and he did not speak for a long time.
The ministers below, who were kneeling to bow to the Prime Minister's invitation, also insisted on not bowing their heads.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the palace fell into a kind of stalemate between the monarch and his ministers. As time went on, the calm became increasingly filled with thunderous thunder.
At this time, Han Huang, the chief minister of the cabinet, came out to smooth things over and said: "Your Majesty, I thought that I would like to ask Duke Wei about his recent military strategy by urgent delivery. It is true that it is impossible to do anything. If you ask me to stop the war, I will stop the war."
It’s not too late.”
This is a compromise strategy and a delaying tactic. It is more like delaying the outbreak of conflicts.
Emperor Chongping's thin pine eyebrows slightly stretched, the coldness in his eyes faded, and he said in a deep voice: "Then according to Han Qing's wishes, the cabinet will write and inquire about the military strategy of the Wei Kingdom."
The civil and military ministers below were still a little dissatisfied, but they also knew that this was the emperor's compromise.
If there are no more military reports, then we can justifiably demand the withdrawal of troops.
But Emperor Chongping looked down at the kneeling ministers, but he didn't call the ministers to stand down, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Just as the ministers in the palace were kneeling on the ground, suddenly there was an earth-shattering cheer from outside, which seemed to be the cheers of the people of Shenjing City, which immediately aroused the doubts of the ministers in the palace.
In the city of Shenjing, on the streets paved with blue and white stones, a maroon horse came cawing. Pedestrians on the street hurriedly avoided. The red-feathered messenger on the horse had young cheeks flushed with red, and his temples and forehead were covered with sweat, but he still said so.
The hoarse voice shouted loudly: "Good news! Great victory in Huangyuan! Great victory in the northwest!"
It immediately attracted diners from restaurants and teahouses on both sides of the street, all craning their necks to look at the messenger on horseback.
"Dajie, father-in-law, where is Huangyuan?" the diner who was having a meal asked the white-bearded old man beside him.
The old man rubbed his gray beard under his chin and said with a smile: "You don't know this, right? Aren't there things in the northwest that have caused a lot of commotion recently? Duke Wei led his troops to the northwest, and they won another battle."
"Duke Wei, it's no wonder that Duke Wei is the one who broke the Jurchen." The middle-aged diner said with a smile: "That was a martial arts star from the sky descending to earth. This is another great victory."
"No, this is a natural-born general, a martial arts star in the sky, here to assist today." Everyone agreed.
At this moment, the city of Shenjing was almost buzzing with discussion and joy. This great victory in the northwest was like a strong wind, completely clearing away the haze that had shrouded the capital for many days.
In the palace garden, in the Hanyuan Hall, the monarchs and ministers were confused. Emperor Chongping's face paused slightly, and he looked down at the ministers who were gradually becoming restless, and ordered: "Dai Quan, go and see what's going on?"
Dai Quan responded to the order, and as soon as he left the throne and came to the eaves of the corridor outside the palace, he saw several eunuchs and palace guards leading a red-feathered messenger up the steps to the front of the palace, panting.
Dai Quan was overjoyed, took the knight's hand and asked, "What do you say, little brother?"
"This father-in-law has achieved a great victory in Huangyuan and a great victory in the northwest! Duke Wei has defeated Heshuote Mongolia!" the red-feathered knight said loudly.
When the officials in the palace who were wondering about this heard the words and the words outside the palace, they were stunned and fell to the ground.
Great victory in Huangyuan? Great victory in Northwest China?
Dai Quan led the red-feathered messenger into the solemn and splendid meeting hall, faced the scorching gazes of the court, and came to Emperor Chongping.
Under Emperor Chongping's thin and slack eyebrows, his eyes were bright and sharp. The hand pressing on the dragon chair could not help but tremble slightly, and he asked urgently: "Where is the great victory?"
In fact, I had just heard it, but out of some unknown mentality, I wanted to listen to it again and ask where the joy came from.
"Your Majesty, the Duke of Wei led the troops to defeat the Heshuote Mongolian Dorji and Yue Tuo, captured alive the Jurchen Heshuote Prince Yue Tuo, the Heshuote Mongolian Taiji Yilduqi and others, and annihilated 50,000 Heshuote Mongolian elites one after another.
, Recapture Huangyuan, great victory in the northwest..." the red feather messenger said quickly.
When Emperor Chongping heard the words, he swayed, and felt his head "bang". He couldn't hear the words clearly. He felt a great joy, and a strange flush appeared on his cheeks, and he murmured: "Zi
Did Yu win?"
We won, we won! We also captured Yue Tuo, Heshuote Mongolian Taiji Yilduqi and others alive. The gains we made were incalculable!
As for Huangyuan, Haiyan, and more than half of the elite main force of thieves and bandits, they can only be recovered in a matter of seconds, right?
Moreover, the time for using troops is such a short period of time, only one month. How can this be said that the troops are used like a god, and the troops are so expensive and so fast?
The middle-aged emperor was inexplicably shocked. Although he had a certain degree of confidence in Jia Heng, it was still a bit unexpected that it happened so quickly.
Just like Fei Yangyang's great study, Fei Yangyang wants to capture the goddess's heart and use the few chips to constantly do things that exceed the goddess's emotional expectations and continue to bring freshness to the goddess.
At this moment, although Emperor Chongping already had high expectations for Jia Heng, Jia Heng still refreshed Emperor Chongping's perception in a more shocking way.
Emperor Chongping's eyes were dazed for a moment, and he held the dragon chair's hand a little harder.
If Zi Yu was used instead of Yan Ye, Liu Fang and others, perhaps the 100,000 Beijing camp generals would not...
With this thought, Emperor Chongping suddenly felt another pain in his heart and felt regretful.
Did he have a nightmare before?
Why use Yan Ye and others? If Zi Yu had been used from the beginning, the 100,000-strong army would not have been completely wiped out...
The Kedao speaker who was kneeling below also heard what the red-feathered messenger said and was dumbfounded and in disbelief.
How come you won again?
No, wasn't it that Duke Wei was trapped in front of the entrance of the East Canyon and couldn't move forward for half a month?
Aren’t there nearly a thousand casualties per day?
How come you won another battle?
And they also captured the Jurchen Yue Tuan? In addition, there were also the chieftains of Heshuote Mongolia.
At this moment, the ministers in the palace were silent, and the sound of a needle drop could be heard, except for the rhythmic sound of rapid or heavy breathing.
The one who was standing was okay, his face was filled with joy, and he was happy for the big man's great victory in the northwest, while the one who was kneeling had white and red face, and his lips were trembling slightly.
Han Huang's elegant face also had a lot of surprises. The ivory jade wat he held in his hand trembled slightly. He was overjoyed that the Han Dynasty had won the war, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable feeling of powerlessness.
As he expected, Duke Wei won another great victory in the northwest! And it was so fast that he won the first battle!
What happened before was that it lasted for half a month, and the army was fortified, but no progress was made. It was all a ruse!
So many tricks!
If he followed the Prime Minister's request to withdraw the troops before, I'm afraid he is the only one who is kneeling now?
At this moment, looking at the kneeling Kedao Yanguan, some people were already stunned on the spot, dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.
Han Huang sighed secretly, his heart covered with a thick layer of gloom.
What does the emperor think of this?
A group of courtiers who did not know the military but talked nonsense about military affairs once again became the clowns of the Duke of Wei who boasted about his martial arts. If coupled with the previous defeat of Nan'an, it was also because the courtiers deceived the emperor...
This happens over and over again, contrasting with stupidity...
From now on, the emperor will definitely entrust all military affairs to Duke Wei!
At this moment, Pang Shilang, the official of the Ministry of Science and Technology and the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, were kneeling, their faces turned pale, and they were speechless for a long time.
Just now, everyone was still speaking with certainty, bowing their heads and pleading, threatening that Duke Wei's advance would be unfavorable and that he would withdraw his troops and return to the enemy. Now that the good news has come, this...
They are still kneeling now!
Pang Shilang's face changed, his eyes became a little darker, and he also felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. Although it was midsummer and the temperature in Guanzhong was high, for some reason, he still felt the bone-chilling coolness of the floor tiles under his knees.
What was he doing just now?
He can suspect that the child is rebellious, harbors different ambitions, and has the heart of a tiger or a wolf...but how can he doubt Jia Heng's ability to use troops?
That is the foundation of Jia Heng’s life!
However, when I turned around and saw Yao Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Liu Zheng, Minister of Rites, and others who were also kneeling in front of me, the panic in my heart dissipated a lot.
No matter what, there were many civil and military officials throughout the dynasty who believed in his idea of stopping the troops and negotiating peace.
Just when the officer in the field department was having complicated thoughts, Shi Jie from the Military Aircraft Department seemed to suddenly realize it and said: "Your Majesty, Duke Wei has decided to use the mouth of the eastern canyon to attract the Heshuote Mongolians to invest troops and horses in order to annihilate their main force.
There is no need to rush to Haiyan and repeat the mistakes of Xining, Nan'an and others. This is not limited to the gains and losses of the city, but to guard the key point of defeating the enemy."
Hang Min, the commander of the Military Aircraft Department, also had an aggressive look and said: "This must be the reason. The landforms of Qinghai are complex. Once the Heshuote Mongols follow what they did before, they will lure troops deep and ambush them everywhere... But Duke Wei is...
How can we be sure that the Heshuote Mongols will engage in a fierce stalemate at the mouth of the East Canyon?"
At the end, there was some doubt on the face.
"It stands to reason that the Heshuote Mongols should not give up their cavalry advantage and form a stronghold to fight against our Han army." Shi Jie said: "But it should be a secret strategy. As the Holy Master said, we are in the divine
Jing, if you don’t know the details, you shouldn’t make any assumptions.”
As he said that, he glanced at Emperor Chongping again, with a bit of reverence in his eyes.
It was probably a Zeng Tai-like look and tone, except that Emperor Chongping did not smile and wave his hands, saying "Alas".
Pang Shilang, Liu Zheng, Zhou Tingji, Ke Dao and others: "..."
After hearing what he said, Xu Lu frowned and thought to himself, this Shi Jie's words are a bit flattering. How can a military minister be so uncharacteristic?
Previously, the President of the Metropolitan Procuratorate had remained silent, basically following the principle of not saying anything and observing the situation coldly.
As for the imperial censors under his command, Yan Guan originally had the power to discuss and impeach.
Another military pilot, Shi Shu, sighed and said: "But to be honest, we are all doing this in hindsight. We did not see clearly the meaning of Duke Wei's stalemate at the mouth of the East Canyon before. Duke Wei is really using old soldiers."
Every move is thoughtful and far-reaching."
Pang Shilang, Ke Dao, Zhou Tingji and others: "..."
The entire class was silent just now as they joined the military plane. Are they waiting here?
Prince Shu of Dali Temple stroked his beard under his chin, with a look of joy on his old face, and said: "The Duke of Wei, Jia Heng, can be considered a victorious general. I think all this is his plan."
Jia Zheng couldn't hide the joy on his face, and secretly thought that Zi Yu had won the battle again. He had just said that with Zi Yu's ability, there must be deep meaning in stopping the troops from advancing.
The worry on Qin Ye's face was also wiped away, and his mood was inexplicably agitated.
"Your Majesty, this is the victory report and memorial from Duke Wei!" A smile lingered on Dai Quan's fair face. He took the military report and memorial from the red-feathered messenger, bowed forward, and headed towards Emperor Chongping for the purpose of Chongping.
