"Congratulations to the Queen Mother...Congratulations to Your Majesty..."
The courtiers felt their hearts surging, and they were so excited that they wanted to shout with all their strength. The congratulations were like a landslide and a tsunami, or even as if they were about to overturn the roof of the palace.
When the little emperor passed by this place, his little face turned pale with fright, and he clung tightly to Gao Ying's side.
"Your Majesty, don't be surprised, it's a happy event...a huge happy event..."
Gao Ying comforted him in a low voice, but seemed to be in disbelief, and looked at the courtiers below: "Where did the good news come from? Can it be written by Duke Li himself?"
Liu Fang was stunned: Does the Queen Mother not believe that Li Chengzhi won?
After a moment's thought, he felt a little startled again.
Not only the Queen Mother, but also the Queen Mother, who was on duty in the front palace, felt as if she was in a dream when she suddenly heard the good news.
A few months ago, when I suddenly heard of Fu Luo, Chang Yi led his army into the pass and approached the middle of the pass. Which courtier didn't change his color in shock as if he had been struck by lightning?
In terms of military strength, Li Chengzhi is less than half of the enemy. In terms of experience, Chang Yizhi and Pei Sui are world-famous generals. Even Yuan Li, Yu Zhong and others are more than one step ahead of Li Chengzhi. The only one Li Chengzhi can rely on is
, that is, the "Tian Lei" that is said to be miraculous, but no one has ever seen its true appearance.
As for those who were willing to die, the secret report that "the sky thunder was made of wheat flour" came out, and the ministers were even more heartbroken and felt that a disaster was imminent.
Therefore, everyone in the court believed that Li Chengzhi would definitely be defeated. The only plan now was to send more troops to Guanzhong as soon as possible.
However, it rained continuously all night, so Yuan Yi suddenly sent a messenger to deliver an urgent report, saying that Rouran's army had suddenly appeared in Monan, and nearly 100,000 troops were stationed in Daqi, ready to move.
In contrast, the fertile fields are newly settled, and the guards of the other towns are all trying to rebel. If the six towns are in chaos again, I am afraid everything will come to an end.
However, there are still Li Chengzhi's 100,000 troops in Guanzhong, who can still hold on for a few days.
The two powers were harming each other, whichever was the lesser. The imperial court could only act urgently and then slow down, and urgently ordered Gao Zhao to raise troops and rush to the aid of Beizhen.
As for Guanzhong... we can only hope that Li Chengzhi will be as stable as a rock, and the longer he can defend the better. When Xi Kangsheng and Gao Meng calm down Bo Gulu and Gao Ping, or Gao Zhao retreats from Rouran, the danger in Guanzhong can be resolved. p>
But happiness came too quickly. It had only been a few days since Gao Zhao sent out troops, but Li Chengzhi suddenly won?
God is really wise...
Just as he was overjoyed and lost in thought, Cui Guang called out softly: "Bowen...Bowen?"
Liu Fang suddenly came back to her senses.
Today is his official duty, and the good news will be handled by him. When Gao Ying asked, it was natural for him to deliver the right report.
"Empress Dowager Bing, the victory report is not in Duke Li's handwriting, but it bears the seal of 'Marshal of Rebellion'. Moreover, Duke Li has sent Sima Yang Jun as his envoy, and he will be able to return to the capital in two days at most to report to the Queen Mother and Your Majesty the beginning and end of the Battle of Guanzhong."
And all kinds of matters, so the good news will never be false..."
Winning...really winning?
Even though it was absolutely true, Gao Ying still felt like he was in a dream.
Her eyes were slightly condensed, passing over the faces of Yuan Cheng, Yuan Ying and Yuan Jia.
Didn’t these three people and their uncle say that Li Chengzhi had no chance of winning?
Furthermore, with such a great victory, all the officials were overjoyed and overjoyed. Why were these three the only ones with solemn faces and even more uneasiness?
There was a moment of doubt in his heart, but was dispelled by joy. Gao Ying suppressed his excitement, his eyes were blazing: "Since it is a great victory, we cannot take it lightly. So Zhu Fu and Taichang, Guanglu and Erxia decided on how to welcome it.
To make it known to the world..."
"I sincerely obey His Majesty's decree!"
Everyone was still excited and in a daze, so no one realized that the Queen Mother was already laying the groundwork for the rebellious army and how the generals of each battalion would reward their merits.
Of course, no one can erase Li Chengzhi’s first contribution...
The more Gao Ying thought about it, the happier he became, and he shouted loudly: "Li Xian!"
"I'm here!"
"Sizhou Mu, Henan County, Luoyang Order and other departments immediately prepared for a three-day celebration in Beijing. All households registered in Beijing will be rewarded..."
"No!"
"Qin Song (newly appointed chamberlain, Changqiu Qing, Taifu Qing)!"
"I'm here!"
"Take the Taifu to prepare a hundred pieces of silk, a hundred catties of gold, and one hundred thousand dollars, and give them to the Li Mansion... Then call Mrs. Guo, Mrs. Zheng (Li Shao's wife) and others into the palace, and call me alone. Tonight, I will hold a banquet in the palace for all the generals and their families...
…”
"No!"
Just like this, after issuing several orders in succession, Gao Yingyi felt that his thoughts were still unfinished.
But fortunately, she was not so happy that she became dizzy. She knew that it was enough to stop, and she also knew that going too far was not enough.
I just want to move the entire palace to the Li Mansion, but I should wait for Master Li Chengzhi to return to the court anyway. Otherwise, I will give people the power and follow the truth...
She resisted the urge and let out a long breath: That's all, instead of sitting in the palace and listening to the flattery of the ministers, it is better to go back to the palace and rejoice with Sanniang.
Fortunately, Sanniang is still here, otherwise she would be so happy that she would go crazy and not know who to confide to?
Thinking about it like this, Gao Ying felt even more anxious. Gao Ying was a little impatient: "Do you still have memorials to present? If not, just let them go."
So urgent?
They only talked about how to celebrate achievements and how to reward them, but not a word about military affairs?
Although the Queen Mother does not understand military affairs, she should still ask her assistants to discuss how to deal with the aftermath of Guanzhong and where will the army go?
Are you afraid that you were so happy that you forgot about it for a while?
At that time, the court was hesitant about whether to remind the Queen Mother. Yuanying took the lead and went out to report: "Celebrations, rewards and other matters are handled by the Secretary, and there is no need for the Queen Mother to bother... There is another matter that I need to report to the Queen Mother.
.But since it is quite trivial and takes a long time, can we ask the Queen Mother to move over and wait for the ministers to discuss it slowly with the Queen Mother?"
What is so urgent that it cannot be discussed until tomorrow?
Gao Ying was very reluctant, but he also knew the importance, so he had no choice but to respond: "Then let's go to Zhaoyang Palace. I'll invite the Sixth Assistant, and all the ministers will go about their own duties..."
The ministers agreed with a bang and left the palace one after another. Gao Ying took the lead, while Liu Fu waited for a while and then arrived.
Cui Guang and Liu Fang were both ministers and ministers, as well as ministers. Any orders issued by the empress dowager and the emperor had to go through their hands, so they had to explain it to their subordinates. The other four assistants had already gone to Zhaoyang.
Palace.
The two went on foot. After leaving the palace, they saw no one around. Liu Fang said suspiciously: "Thanks to the blessing of heaven, today's great victory is possible. We are naturally overjoyed. But when I look at the king of the mountain and others, I seem to be frowning.
Exhibition, depressed?"
What else can be done, just because these bastards are superfluous, but they don’t want to be self-defeating and have the opposite effect.
If I hadn't had the foresight to take a huge risk to report the news to Li Chengzhi, and put him at risk, how could these people be more than unhappy?
I'm afraid it's too late to cry at this time...
Cui Guang pondered for a moment and replied in a low voice: "You are on duty in the palace today, so I only knew that Li Chengzhi rushed 800 miles away to deliver the good news, but I didn't know that Gao Zhao followed closely behind and sent the urgent news..."<
/p>
Gao Zhao sent an urgent report?
"But the war in Beizhen is not going well?"
What a bird feather in Beizhen!
Cui Guang groaned, as if squeezed out of his nostrils: "Fake!"
Liu Fang was confused: "Well... what is fake?"
"It's a lie that Rouran sent troops, it's also a lie that Beizhen will be in chaos, and it's natural that Gao Zhao leads his troops to the north to reinforce, it's even more false..."
"How is that possible? You, I and Zhufu personally watched the tens of thousands of troops leave the capital. Where did they go?"
"Where else can we go, of course Guanzhong!"
Liu Fang's beard trembled in shock: "How could I not know?"
"This matter was conspired by King Rencheng, King Zhongshan, and King Guangyang, and then they made a plan with Gao Zhao, and finally secretly presented it to the Queen Mother. From the beginning to the end, they kept it secret from you, me, and You Zhao, so where can you find out?" "Then how did you know?"
"A few traitors, they only think that I don't understand military matters, and they think they are perfect? Although I have never led a soldier, let alone fought in a war, I have read more books than these thieves can recognize... Gao
Zhao immediately went to Beizhen, why did he only have a few thousand people to recruit? Could it be that they were used as vehicles?"
"Didn't Gao Zhao say that with the ship's grain, one could go up the Yellow River and reach the six towns?"
Cui Guang's nose was almost twisted in anger, and he almost blurted out "The book has been read into the dog's belly": "The river has countless natural chasms. Once it leaves the east of the river, six of the ten river sections are narrow and steep, and the river falls (
There are so many waterfalls (waterfalls), how can he start from Luoyang and send thousands of grain boats upstream?"
Liu Fang suddenly realized: the Yellow River is not a smooth river, and there are many steep places. For example, Shaanzhou Pillar (Sanmen Shaanxi Valley) and Fenzhou Mengmen Mountain (Hukou Waterfall) are all dry land boating places (lift the boat to the shore,
Then use people and animals to pull them to a gentle section of the river and launch them into the water).
As for the army coming out from Luoyang, if it were transported by river, it would have to go through dry land many times. By the time the ship arrived at Beizhen, it would have taken two round trips by land...
As soon as she thought about it, Liu Fang was horrified: "What's going on like this is not a big river, but the Weishui River?"
"That's it! So as soon as I heard that Gao Zhao wanted to carry out water transportation, I knew that he wanted to carry out the plan of the Three Kingdoms Zhanghe to surprise Ma Di (Battle of Jieting): transport food by boat and march on the river. It would take at most ten days to be able to rush.
Running nearly two thousand miles, from Luoyang to Chencang..."
Can it still be like this?
When she first heard about it, Liu Fang didn't take it seriously. She thought that such a strange plan was a stroke of genius, and people like Chang Yi must have not expected it.
But as soon as he thought about it, he became horrified: It was only the sixth day that Gao Zhao led his army to leave Beijing, and they should only be halfway there. And Li Chengzhi's victory was so unexpected that if he was suddenly shocked to hear that the imperial court had suddenly
If you send a large army secretly to Guanzhong, nine times out of ten, you will mistakenly think that you are running towards him...
What would Li Chengzhi think if he moved to another place?
Even if you don’t know how to fight in battle, you will most likely be disappointed and disheartened, and then alienate the court...
Liu Fang was very upset: "Who came up with this strategy?"
