The New Year is over and the earth is recovering.
The ice in the Luohe River has long since melted, and the water is clear and clear. A few wild ducks are floating on the river and swimming back and forth.
Thin and dense grass buds sprouted under the sunny slope, especially young. An old cow was pulling manure into the field and stopped with its hooves, as if it wanted to take a bite. The farmer cracked his whip and made a popping sound.
The cow shook its head a few times and had no choice but to go on the road.
The sky was extremely bright and the scenery was extremely beautiful, but the hall was gloomy and gloomy.
After the New Year, the emperor was already six years old, but he was still confused and confused. He looked at the sad faces of several ministers at a loss.
Father...oh...no, the emperor's uncle, King Qinghe, seems to be in danger. The very handsome Duke Li rushed to the rescue with only two thousand soldiers. The queen mother and the princes were very worried, but the emperor could not tell the difference for the moment.
Are they worried about King Qinghe and Duke Li, or are they worried that this battle will be lost?
After looking down and then at the tearful Queen Mother, the emperor moved his little body uneasily and leaned closer to Gao Ying.
She felt a chill in her hand, but the emperor put his little hand in her palm. He opened his big eyes, as if to comfort her: "Mother..."
Gao Ying suddenly felt sad in his heart, his tears fell down like broken beads, and he hugged the emperor tightly in his arms.
Li Chengzhi, you bastard...
Why don't you go to Guanzhong and pacify Liangzhou? Why go to six towns for no reason... and only bring two thousand soldiers?
Even if the six towns are in chaos, Yuan Yi will die. What does it have to do with you?
If anything happens to you, Rang Gu... What should Rang Gu and Sanniang do?
Since I received an urgent report from Li Chengzhi half a month ago, saying that Yuan Yi’s life and death were not known, and there was chaos in the fertile field, and then I was shocked to hear that Rouran was invading across the border, how alarmed was the DPRK?
Yu Zhong has not yet been pacified, Yuan Huai is still undecided, Qinzhou Cui Zuchi, Bo Gulu Yu Jing have started to stir up troubles one after another. Now even Woye has come to join in the fun, quite like some gourds have not been pressed down, and the ladles have floated up again.<
/p>
In addition to being panicked, the ministers were even more shocked and confused, wondering why Li Chengzhi could just pinch him and calculate it?
When the late emperor passed away and the young emperor succeeded to the throne soon, when the court decided to send troops, Li Chengzhi said: Yuan Huai, Yu Zhong, Yu Jing, etc., now only occupy the land of two or three states, and they seem to be as powerful as their elbows and armpits.
The disease is actually scabies, which can be cured sooner or later and is not something to worry about.
Zhu Fu asked him: What is the trouble in his heart?
Li Chengzhi: Six Towns.
And it’s only been three months, and you’ve already complied with Li Chengzhi’s words?
What's more: Li Chengzhi didn't lead the army to pacify Liangzhou properly, and ran straight to the fertile fields without even leaving the boundary of Luoyang, without even turning a corner, and it happened to be just when the deputy general Lu Yan was in trouble?<
/p>
As he said in his memorial, "I originally wanted to go to Xiazhou to explore Bogulu... But when I arrived in Xiazhou, I was shocked to hear that His Highness King Qinghe had arrived in Woye. He did not listen to the news for several days, so his suspicions changed.
, travel day and night...to the fertile fields, just in time for a sudden change" and other nonsense, you don't believe a word of it.
Do you think that there is only a wall between Xiazhou and Woye, so you can hear any noise?
The two places are hundreds of miles apart...
Either it is true as the rumors say, Li Chengzhi is a man of heaven and earth, and he can make decisions thousands of miles away with just a pinch of his finger.
Either Li Chengzhi decided from the beginning that there must be Yuan Huai in the six towns who were rebellious and would raise troops accordingly. Therefore, he took the first step to explore the reality.
It was just too much of a coincidence that when he reached the fertile field, Lu Yan started to stir up trouble, and the two of them just agreed upon it?
It's so clever that it makes people's scalp numb.
The first urgent report was sent to Luoyang roughly half a month ago. Li Chengzhi said that it was only one town in Woye for the time being, Lu Yan had not yet started an uprising, and Li Chengzhi had led two battalions of tiger cavalry to six towns.
At that time, Chao Yan was only surprised by the coincidence, and was not very worried about how big a splash Lu Yan could make.
With Li Chengzhi's two battalions of tiger cavalry, and he has alerted Luo Jian, even if there is chaos in the fertile fields, it should be under control.
When Luo Jiantang takes action, Lu Yan will be destroyed.
Three days later, Li Chengzhi sent a second urgent message: The fertile land is flat!
But not only were the princes in the court not happy, they were in unprecedented chaos: Lu Yan had already colluded with Rouran, and now tens of thousands of fine cavalry from the Du Lun tribe had entered the pass.
If it were in the past, there would only be tens of thousands of barbarians, relatively speaking, there would be nothing to worry about.
There are nearly 100,000 soldiers in each of the six towns, garrisons, and passes. Among them, cavalry accounts for 30%, which should be about 30,000. Moreover, the households in the towns are military households. Even if the situation is urgent, only 1 or 200,000 soldiers can be recruited.
It takes half a month to two decades.
But the bad thing is that it happened at this juncture when the late emperor passed away and Yuan Huai started to rebel?
Just because Li Chengzhi said: The Yu family has led the army for several generations and has power over the government and the public. Since before Xiaowen moved the capital, he has cultivated the six towns deeply. Now for decades, it can be said that his children's in-laws are all over the six towns. Although not all those who are related to Yu Zhong will be here.
Let him rebel, but there will be people who wait and see, and people's minds will change.
Therefore, if the war becomes a stalemate, or if chaos breaks out in the six towns, it will most likely turn into a prairie fire. Therefore, it is better to block the situation than to calm it down. It is not too late to conduct detailed screening after the overall situation is settled...
…
In the Wei Dynasty, there were not dozens or hundreds of rebellions. If a spark could start a prairie fire, no one in the world would have the surname Yuan.
However, Yu Zhong and Yuan Huai's momentum is bigger this time, but just like Yuan Xi, Yuan Yu and others, as long as troops are sent in time, it will only be a matter of time to pacify them.
Everyone thought he was alarmist, except Gao Zhao.
But when the urgent report of Rouran's entry into the customs was sent to Beijing, no one dared to think like this.
Just because of the 10,000 Huqi who have entered the customs.
The Du Lun tribe has more than just these 10,000 tribesmen, but most of them have more than 30,000 households, which can summon 40,000 men and cavalry. In a hurry, even if the six towns can win, I am afraid they will be like chicken feathers.
At this time, the situation in the six towns is unpredictable and people's hearts are in danger. There is no guarantee that he will not be like Yu Zhong: you think he is the pillar of the country and can save the building from falling, but he suddenly stabs you in the back and turns your side. Strike. Just like Lu Yan...
What's more, if we only rely on the Du Lun tribe, it is common for hundreds or thousands of small tribes to occasionally cross Langshan to plunder. The six towns sometimes do this, and it is normal for them to come and go.
However, Wanqi's move to enter the Pass cannot be justified by "plundering", and is no different from starting a war between the two countries.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Without the instruction or acquiescence of Rouran Khan Yujiulu Chounu, where would Dou Ling be so courageous?
Thinking of this, everyone was shocked and felt chills in their hearts: If there was no accident, Yuan Huai and Yu Zhong would have colluded with Rou Ran long ago. They had even agreed on a plan to attack both inside and outside.
These ten thousand Huqi are just the vanguard to test the waters first...
Is it really as Li Chengzhi expected: Chaos has emerged and a catastrophe is imminent?
All the important officials no longer cared about why Li Chengzhi’s calculations were so accurate and so clever.
After waiting for four days, seeing that there was no urgent report from Li Chengzhi, except for Gao Zhao, the Queen Mother and Qi Fu completely lost their patience. On that day, they agreed to appoint Gao Zhao as commander-in-chief, commanding all the military forces in the four states, and leading 20,000 Chinese troops directly Go to six towns. And order Sizhou, Dingzhou, Hengzhou, Shuozhou and other four states to recruit 20,000 troops each, and a total of 100,000 troops to go north.
The Chinese army is already ready, and food and grass have been collected. In two days, Gao Zhao will set off.
Today, Gao Zhao came to bid farewell to the Emperor, the Emperor, and all the assistants...
It was obviously a beautiful sunny day and the feeling of spring was refreshing. However, it was extremely depressing in the palace, like a mountain rain was about to come and dark clouds were pressing overhead.
After discussing all the trivial matters, the ministers retired one by one. Bafu comforted the Queen Mother with a few words of relief, saying that Her Majesty should not be worried, and then left one after another.
How complicated it is to set off a large army for an expedition. Not to mention that when Li Chengzhi sent out his troops, it took nearly two months. But this time, in just seven days, Gao Zhao had to lead an army of 20,000 to set off, so there are so many unresolved matters?
No one has time to watch the Queen Mother crying...
Gao Zhaowen persuaded a few words. The main hall was empty and the spring cold was very strong. He asked the internal officials to escort the Queen Mother and Her Majesty to the Nuan Pavilion in the side hall.
It was already lunch time, and the emperor was taken away by the female officials. Only Gao Ying and Gao Zhao remained in the cabinet.
As if he had lost the last trace of support, Gao Ying burst into tears: "Years ago, he wanted to lead the army northward, but Guwanban refused. It was my uncle who advised me to put the overall situation first. Also known as, there are all kinds of problems in the court. You...but now, even your uncle has to leave, what should I do?"
Gao Zhao secretly sighed and remembered what Li Chengzhi said: After all, the Queen Mother was a woman with a weak mind. She was too frightened by the assassination of the late emperor, so she felt that everyone except Gao Zhao and Li Chengzhi would harm her...
But what can be done?
He has advised the other seven and the Queen Mother more than once: Don't be impatient. No matter good or bad, Li Chengzhi will definitely retaliate, and he can't bear to wait for a few days. After just three days of waiting, he was like an ant on a hot pot. He was completely shocked.
God, determined to send troops...
There are only a few people in the court who can lead the army, fight against Rouran, and can still be trusted. For example, Xi Kangsheng, Li Chong, Li Ping, and Cui Yanbo are all guarding important positions. In such a precarious situation, how dare you
Move lightly?
The assistants in the court were old and sick, and those who did not know how to lead the army were picked here and there. Only Yuan Cheng and Gao Zhao were left.
Yuan Cheng is the chief assistant. If he doesn’t go to Gao Zhao, who will?
Gao Zhao secretly sighed and advised in a gentle voice: "The Queen Mother, please be at ease: I am going here, in the name of calming the chaos, but in fact to deter Rouran. Therefore, it is not certain whether a war will start, it will be in March or May at most.
I will definitely return to Beijing in two or three months at least..."
How can Gao Ying believe it: "Hu Qi have already entered the pass, how can we avoid this battle? Just as my uncle and the princes expected, when the army reaches the six towns, Rouran will not dare to invade. There is already chaos in the six towns, so
If it is a town and a town, how can it be that peace can be achieved in March and May?"
"Chaos?"
Gao Zhao chuckled, "Don't worry, Queen Mother, with Li Chengzhi here, there will be no chaos. Don't forget, he has ambushed a strange force outside the pass..."
At the mention of Li Chengzhi, Gao Ying's tears flowed faster: "Uncle, do you still dare to believe him? He talked about Huazhou, but he ran to Xiazhou, and when he talked about Xiazhou, he suddenly went to the fertile fields? How can he tell the truth...
…”
Gao Zhao secretly sighed: It is precisely because he told so many lies that I believe him!
Luoyang is more than two thousand miles away from the fertile fields, and Li Chengzhi arrived in just ten days. This was obviously a direct trip to the fertile fields.
And just when he arrived at Fertile Field, Lu Yan started to stir up trouble, and Hu Qi entered the border?
No matter how coincidental it is, it cannot be this great.
Therefore, Li Chengzhi had long expected that the fertile fields would be in chaos, and knew exactly when the chaos would occur, so it was such a coincidence...
How dare you do this if you are not gifted from heaven?
If he was not sure, how could he dare to go north alone, and how dare he go deep into the tiger's den with only a hundred retainers?
Therefore, when Li Chengzhi's emergency report stated that he had ambushed a strange force outside the pass, intending to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, cut off the retreat of the Hu cavalry entering the pass, and drive them out of the pass, Gao Zhao believed it.
Gao Ying wiped away his tears: "I'm asking you, where did he get the surprise soldier?"
Gao Zhao smiled: "The Empress Dowager has also read the memorial. Could it be that she has forgotten the Liangzhou Relics Department mentioned by Li Chengzhi?"
"It's fake... Even Yuan Cheng, Yuan Jia and others said that it was probably a delaying tactic that Li Chengzhi was afraid of people in the capital changing their minds... Moreover, if he really had a surprise army, and it really came from the West Sea, it would be a thousand miles away from Fertile Fields.
Five to six hundred miles away, we must set out before three months. Isn’t it earlier than the time for him to send out troops?"
Gao Ying's words stopped Gao Zhao and he didn't know how to explain it.
You can't tell Gao Ying that Li Chengzhi is a master of calculation. I'm afraid he expected that the fertile fields would be in chaos before sending out troops, so he made some moves...
The Queen Mother will not believe it.
As Yuan Cheng and others said, if Li Chengzhi was really capable of calculating, he knew that there would be chaos in the fertile fields and Hu Qi would enter the border. Why didn't he give Luo Jian a warning first?
Even if you can't trust Luo Jian, you can always trust Yuan Yi...
Gao Zhao thought for a while and shook his head: "Now that the matter is over, it is certain that I will lead the northern expedition and cannot be changed. But I firmly believe that if Li Chengzhi said that there is no danger in Beizhen, then there will be no danger. The Queen Mother will wait.
That is. In as little as three to five days, as many as ten days, good news will come from the north..."
Like this again?
Just like Li Chengzhi, why does he swear categorically when he can't explain something?
It has been almost half a month since Li Chengzhi’s second urgent message was delivered. Li Chengzhi is afraid that the worst is approaching, so you still want me to wait for his good news?
Gao Ying was angry and scared, and he would curse when he opened his mouth.
But as soon as I opened my eyes, I suddenly heard a "bang" sound.
After a moment of trance, Gao Zhao and Gao Ying's expressions both changed.
The bell on the end building?
If it is not a grand ceremony, or there is an important event, how can we ring the bell?
The two looked at each other in shock and confusion. After listening to the bell ringing six times, there was no more sound.
Three bells are a sign, six bells are a ride, eight bells are a death, and nine bells are a collapse!
Congratulations on the happy event?
Gao Zhao's whole body was shaken, and a wave of hot blood surged from his heart and rushed to his forehead.
The bell seemed to have struck into his mind, and there was a buzzing sound, and Gao Zhao's face was numb.
What did you just say to the Queen Mother?
Good news...
He stood up suddenly, and his vision went dark. He bit the tip of his tongue hard to regain his composure. As soon as he took a step, he felt his sleeves tighten, and Gao Ying grabbed his sleeves and stood up.
"Uncle, I'm going to go alone..."
Although Gao Zhao was shocked, he was at least still calm. Gao Ying, however, had long forgotten about his manners and jogged all the way to Tai Chi West Hall.
Yuan Jia, who was on duty today, was already waiting in the palace, his face flushed, as if he was drunk.
Seeing Gao Ying and Gao Zhao, the wrinkles on Yuan Jia's face turned into a flower with a smile, and his voice was hoarse and hoarse: "Your Highness, just a moment ago, there was a rush of 800 miles from Woye to Beijing... Dasheng, Li
Cheng Zhi wins a great victory: annihilate the twelve tribes of the Du Lun tribe, capture the city of Touman, and capture the leader of the Du Lun tribe, Dou Ling, alive..."
