Three hundred and thirtieth chapters re-election marshal
The following days seemed to be much calmer, but that was only on the surface.
Niu Wenzhong personally garrisoned Gaizhou Prefecture, while Piwei general An Shirong and Biaowei general Chu Heng each led 20,000 troops and attacked Qinshui and Yangcheng counties separately.
On the second day of August, Yangcheng fell.
On the fifth day of August, Qinshui fell.
This information was handed over to Ximen Qing's case through spies, and was also sent to Bianliang, Tokyo.
Prior to this, Ximen Qing's detailed report had been written in cipher text and sent to the Imperial City Division in person by Group A on the 26th.
This step is much faster than Gao Qiu's movement.
Gao Qiu didn't come to his senses until he fled back to Huixian County, Weizhou. After pondering for a long time, he wrote the note and sent it to the Privy Council in a hurry over 800 miles away.
At this time, the money handler had already read the report sent by Ximen Qing, and at the same time ordered a copy to be sent to King Jia.
King Zhao Kai of Jia did not stop for a moment after seeing this report and went directly to the Imperial City Division to discuss the money transaction. Wu Song also participated in the meeting as the acting transaction officer.
The news of Gao Qiu's defeat made King Zhao Kai unable to believe it, but the report was so clear that he couldn't help but believe it.
"One hundred thousand elite soldiers! One hundred thousand elite soldiers! How could they be defeated in one night?" Zhao Kai's face was a little pale, and his hands were a little white because he held them too tightly. In the end, he almost shouted: "There are still 20,000 forbidden troops."
,Are they all idiots!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down." Qian Gui was not too surprised: "Ximen Gang is still working hard in Lingchuan County, and the conquest army has not completely failed."
King Zhao Kai sighed: "I'm afraid my father will be even more disappointed when he gets this news. After all, the relationship between Captain Gao and him..."
In this regard, Qiangui has nothing to say.
Almost everyone in the world knows the relationship between Gao Qiu and the current official family. This time the expedition army made Gao Qiu the marshal, which was also to increase his military merits. Unexpectedly, he was defeated by Tian Hu before he really stepped into Tian Hu's territory.
.
Although Niu Wenzhong attacked and robbed the camp at night, as the head coach, he has a lot of responsibility.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly." Wu Song suddenly interrupted: "Captain Gao squeezed out my eldest brother. If he hadn't adapted to the situation and captured Lingchuan County, the entire Gaizhou would have fallen into the hands of Niu Wenzhong. Now my eldest brother is in Lingchuan
The county is isolated and helpless, and the most important thing is that the imperial court sends reinforcements as soon as possible."
Ever since he appointed Ximen Qing as the commander, King Jia Zhao Kai has always been very satisfied. Gao Qiu was defeated and only the supervisory army from the Imperial City Division was left to persist in Lingchuan County. This was a matter of honor for King Zhao Kai.
Wu Song didn't say anything, King Zhao Kai was also considering this matter.
"No problem, I will go to the forbidden area now and submit this report to my father." King Jia Zhao Kai stood up. He also understood that he must move faster than Gao Qiu: "I must try my best to let my father."
The Emperor will send reinforcements as soon as possible!"
...
...
When the Privy Council received Gao Qiu's handwritten letter, it caused an uproar.
No one expected that Gao Qiu, leading an army of 100,000, would not even be considered a disastrous defeat, but a huge defeat.
Although there were a lot of evasions written in the handwriting, which almost described Niu Wenzhong's army as having three heads and six arms, the officials of the Privy Council were not fools and saw through the weirdness at a glance.
Eight soldiers and horse guards died tragically.
Flying Tiger General Bi Sheng died in battle.
An army of 100,000 has now become 800.
Strip away the fancy words and this is the brutal truth.
Not to mention that the entire Gaizhou area is in ruins and will soon fall into Tian Hu’s hands!
Although the excerpt stated that Ximen Supervisor led his troops to garrison in Lingchuan County to monitor the enemy's movements, these Privy Council officials scorned this.
How many days can we hold the garrison?
No one is optimistic about Ximen Qing.
After discussion, the fold was not sent to the officials first, but was presented to Liang Shicheng.
Because Gao Qiu included a note in his folded book with the words "Eunuch Liang" written on it.
After Liang Shicheng read the excerpt, he was neither excited nor disappointed. He just said, "Come and hear the news the day after tomorrow."
...
...
Liang Shicheng kept the fold for two days before putting it on the desk of Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji frowned, read it hastily, and threw it aside: "What do you think?"
Liang Shicheng began to blame Gao Qiu for his crimes. Except that there were no curse words in his mouth, he almost scolded Gao Qiu like shit.
This attitude was beyond Zhao Ji's expectation, because he knew that Liang Shicheng had always had a good relationship with Gao Qiu.
But the more Liang Shicheng scolded, the more unpleasant he became, and he began to scold Gao Qiu for some of his previous bad deeds.
This made Zhao Ji a little bit unable to listen, because he had already known about Gao Qiu's bad deeds.
As Liang Shicheng continued to speak eloquently, Zhao Ji's face became increasingly ugly.
Soon, when Liang Shicheng was about to talk about Gao Qiu's origin, Zhao Ji waved his hand to stop him from continuing.
And Liang Shicheng also shut his mouth very wisely.
"In your opinion, how to deal with it?" Zhao Ji asked.
"How can a person with no talent like this still be the commander-in-chief?" Liang Shicheng looked filled with indignation: "Of course he will be dismissed and investigated!"
As Liang Shicheng spoke, he secretly watched Zhao Ji's reaction.
Zhao Ji stretched out his hand and pinched the center of his eyebrows, then closed his eyes and rested his mind: "We will discuss this matter tomorrow morning. You go down first."
Liang Shicheng retreated.
Just as Liang Shicheng left, a person appeared on the screen behind Emperor Daojun, it was King Zhao Kai of Jia.
"Your Majesty, what do you think?" Zhao Ji asked without opening his eyes.
Zhao Kai did not answer directly, but thought for a long time, then shook his sleeves and replied: "My son believes that Eunuch Liang blames Gao Dianshuai, but in fact he is excusing him. The more Eunuch Liang scolds, the more his father
On the contrary, it becomes even more difficult to make a choice?"
"You really think so?" Zhao Ji was a little surprised when he got this answer, and immediately opened his eyes: "The enemy army is powerful, and Gao Qiu was also careless..."
Zhao Ji stopped mid-sentence. Prince Jia Zhao Kai did not speak, but bowed and waited.
"Forget it, how to punish Gao Qiu is not the key right now." Zhao Ji sighed: "How to destroy Tian Hu is the key."
"Father, regarding this point, I have a suggestion." King Jia Zhao Kai took up the topic: "Now the Ximen Supervisory Army is still holding firm in Lingchuan County..."
...
...
When Liang Shicheng returned to the mansion, the officials of the Privy Council had been waiting for a long time.
"It's okay, you go back." Liang Shicheng took out a letter from his sleeve: "It's urgent at 800 miles. Send this to Captain Gao, he will understand."
The visitor took the letter, did not dare to stay at all, and left.
The next day, morning.
After the Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji asked the Privy Council to announce the news of Gao Qiu's defeat, the civil and military officials were in an uproar.
Whether it's something you already know or something you haven't learned yet, there's always a lot of discussion.
"How could Lieutenant Gao fail? Isn't there a hundred thousand people? It would be too easy to fail!"
"Could it be that Niu Wenzhong has three heads and six arms? Where is Gaizhou Prefecture? Has it fallen into the hands of the enemy?"
"When we went to attack Tian Hu, we actually lost another state? How to settle the score?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Isn't Ximen's agent from the Imperial City Division still in Lingchuan County? The entire territory of Gaizhou has not yet fallen into Tian Hu's hands!"
"With all the 100,000 troops gone, how many days can a mere Lingchuan County hold off the enemy's cavalry?"
Although making noise in the court was a taboo, Zhao Ji did not speak, nor did he ask Huangmenguan to maintain order, but waited quietly.
Discussions can disappear just as quickly as they arise.
Because the civil and military officials soon realized that the person who should speak the most was silent on the dragon chair, and their eyes focused on the Taoist Emperor Zhao Ji again.
"Have you finished talking?" Zhao Ji leaned on the dragon chair: "Do you have any good ideas?"
Suddenly, the hall became very quiet, so quiet that if an embroidery needle fell to the ground, it would be like thunder.
Suddenly a voice said: "I am reporting to you, Your Majesty, I have a plan."
Everyone looked around one after another, but Su Yuanjing, the Taiwei in front of the palace, stepped forward to start the performance, and they were extremely surprised.
This Su Yuanjing was a loyal person and didn't talk much on weekdays. His position as a lieutenant in front of the palace was just a false one, but why did he dare to speak out at such a critical moment?
"If the Qing family has any good ideas, please tell me immediately!" Zhao Ji perked up and sat up straight.
Su Yuanjing was calm and said slowly: "Nowadays, Gaizhou is in ruins. Fortunately, there is an army stationed in Lingchuan County led by the Imperial City Secretary Ximen Gangguan, so that the whole territory will not fall into Niu Wenzhong's hands. However, Ximen Gangguan is isolated and helpless.
The best policy is to send one of the generals to lead the good generals and the best soldiers to rush to the rescue."
"What the Qing family said is true." Emperor Daojun nodded slightly: "I wonder which Qing family here is willing to lead the army?"
There was another moment of silence.
Needless to say, the civil servants and generals also lowered their heads, and no one dared to speak out.
It was Su Yuanjing who said: "I recommend someone who can be a general."
Zhao Ji said: "The Qing family only comes through the pipeline."
"Pudong inspects Guan Sheng."
As soon as Su Yuanjing said this, the generals couldn't bear it and began to start talking.
I thought Su Yuanjing would recommend some famous generals, but it turned out to be just a small inspection!
Is this a joke?
During the discussion, Su Yuanjing was calm and continued: "This person is a direct descendant of King Wu'an who was righteous and brave in the third period. After Guan Sage, he was brave enough to be unworthy of thousands of men, but he was not reused and only did
The duty of inspection.”
As soon as Su Yuanjing said this, all those discussions disappeared.
After Guan Saint!
What a golden sign!
Zhao Ji was overjoyed and said: "It turns out that he is the Queen of the Martial Saint, and he is indeed very useful! Send someone to Pudong quickly to invite him, and he will be named the Marshal of the Conquest, and we will set off soon!"
"Your Majesty! The customs inspection is in Gaizhou! You can send someone to lead the army and deliver the marshal's seal!" Su Yuanjing bowed and said: "Without any delay, tens of thousands of elite troops must be dispatched immediately to assist Lingchuan.
county!"
"Just as the Qing family said!" Zhao Ji immediately responded: "Privy Council, make arrangements immediately!"
Next, before the Privy Council officials could react, Huangmenguan stood up and shouted: "Retreat from the court!"
By this time, the Privy Council officials had not yet realized what Taiwei Su meant when he said, "The customs inspection is already in Gaizhou"!
However, those with a discerning eye have already seen that Su Yuanjing and the officials were in harmony and did not give the Privy Council a chance to refute.
