Just like the sudden stop after the storm, a decisive battle of 200,000 people broke out in Zhending City before yesterday. In a blink of an eye, the entire plain returned to silence.
It was like two wild beasts, licking their wounds silently.
In the tent of the army, the civil and military officials were silent for a long time. Some people suggested retreating, and a few people immediately agreed.
At this time, King Yàn said: I heard someone else’s plan yesterday that Guo Ying, the Marquis of Wuding, has a marriage relationship with the Xu family, and my princess is also from the Xu family, so she is still a relative.So I found someone, pretending to discuss peace with the official army, and going to meet Guo Ying, and what if I convince him to surrender?
After he said that, he looked back and stopped his eyes on the face of the Xiangshi Yuan Gong.
Yuan Gong bowed and said: The prince and Wuding Hou only have a little relationship with each other. How can they have a law? The people sent there simply don’t know what to say!If the news is leaked, the soldiers of the Zhending City thought we were showing weakness and wanted to bet on peace, so as to gain morale for others for no reason...
After hearing this, King Yàn refused to comment.
Yuan Gong hurriedly advised: Prince, who did this plan?That man is simply inferior to a three-year-old child!Whoever has such an idea is to help the prince or the official army?
Zhu Gaoxu was also standing below. When he heard this, his face became very ugly and he thought to himself: Is he his? You don’t want to go by the surname Yuan, you are unwilling to go. Isn’t it okay?What does it mean to say that I am not even a three-year-old child...
This trick was indeed produced by Zhu Gaoxu.
At this time, King Yàn said: I am unwilling to retreat like this. No matter whether it is useful or not, it doesn’t matter whether it is useful or not.After saying that, he turned to look at Wang Fu, a professor in the palace.
Wang Fu lowered his head, was stunned for a while, and finally bowed: I am willing to go!
good!King Yàn slapped his legs and immediately decided.
Zhu Gaoxu felt that King Yàn was still decisive and pretended to discuss peace without spending money, and at most he could die an envoy. So what should I do if I look forward to it?
……
……
In the imperial city of the capital, a group of civil and military officials stood in the hall without saying a word.
Yàn rebelled against the north, and the imperial court dispatched 300,000 troops to suppress the rebellion with Mount Tai and the lightning speed. It was thought that the abscess in Peking could be solved in one fell swoop!
If you don’t want to become like this, no one can speak? For a moment, everyone was like a belly full of beautiful articles, but they were suddenly stuffed with a piece of yellow and black dirty thing, and they were all mute.
The emperor personally signed the commander of the general Yàn, the emperor personally pushed the cart for him, and held the hub and pushed the wheel... Unexpectedly, as soon as Geng Bingwen went up, the ground was cut off before he even stepped on it!?
The army of 300,000 was blocked by tens of thousands of people in the city, so dare not come out?
What kind of bird egg was beaten in this battle? The people in the court could not imagine that hundreds of thousands of officials were holding fire sticks or a group of soft women and children!
At this moment, Zhu Yunwen said in his voice: The King of Gaoyang Zhu Gaoxu was not in strict supervision at the time and shouldn't have let him run away... I also thought of the relatives of the royal family, so I did not treat him harshly. I didn't expect that he was so fierce that he actually found an opportunity to escape.
A minister finally echoed: The emperor is kind, but unexpectedly, the vassal king is like a jackal, and this is why the officials are not doing their best.
The emperor said so. Xu Huizu, who tried hard to stop Zhu Gaoxu, looked sideways and glared at Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai fiercely.Neither Huang Zicheng nor Qi Tai made any moves, but his face was already very ugly.
Zhu Yunwen said sadly: The Marquis of Changxing is loyal to the country and dies on the battlefield. He must be buried with a grand funeral.
I will obey the order!Some officials in charge of these people immediately responded.
At this moment, Huang Zicheng came out and said, "I recommend Duke Cao to act as the Marquis of Changxing, and continue the unfinished work."Duke Cao Li Jinglong was born into a family of founding generals. He was talented and talented, both civil and military, and he would definitely be able to pacify his rebellion!
Qi Tai immediately said: Master, even though Changxing Hou died, the true destiny can still be maintained.I think the general is of great importance and should not be rushed.
In Qi Tai's eyes: Li Jinglong's leadership of troops is a bit unreliable and not stable enough.
He was the Minister of War. He was able to survive with his imperial examinations and his years of working in the Ministry of War. Although he was also a civil servant and had no experience in combat, he had more or less knowledge of military affairs. Otherwise, he would not be able to take charge of the military affairs of the entire Ming Dynasty and would not be able to sit firmly on the position of Minister of War.
Therefore, Qi Tai firmly believes that his judgment on choosing a general is more reliable than Huang Zicheng, who has been in Taichang Temple and Hanlin Academy for a long time.
At this time, Zhu Yunwen's voice said: Let's discuss it again.
The eunuch Wu Zhong said in a sharp voice: If you have something to report, you will leave the court if you have nothing to do!
The officials bowed one after another and shouted: I am going to thank the emperor for his kindness!
Everyone walked out of the imperial gate one after another. Qi Tai remembered that Huang Zicheng had recommended Li Jinglong before... It seemed that he was determined to use this person!When Qi Tai thought about this, he felt that the situation was getting serious.
I couldn't let go of my worries!
By noon, Qi Tai went to the Taichang Temple Yamen to find Huang Zicheng.
Each government office is going to provide lunch, and officials do not have to go home for lunch.
When Qi Tai saw Huang Zicheng, he said: There is a new restaurant in the alley next to Donghuamen. I went to have a meal last time. The spring rolls are good, but I haven’t eaten enough last time!
Qibutang has a strong nose and can smell the fragrance in the alley.Huang Zicheng said.
Qi Taiqiang smiled and said: I can only fill in the lunch in the yamen.How about we go and eat spring rolls?I'll treat you!
Qi Tai had a strong desire, and he said without hesitation: The spring rolls in the store are really delicious, with thin and sweet noodles, and sesame seeds on them. The noodles are wrapped in delicious dishes, and they are made of meat and vegetables. After chewing them, the taste is different, the layers are abundant, and the mouth is full of fragrance!
ha!If Qibutang continues to talk about it, my saliva will flow out!Huang Zicheng said, let’s go.
The two of them sat in a carriage and took their followers to the restaurant that Qi Tai mentioned.
The shopkeeper looked at their official uniforms and was so enthusiastic that he nodded and bowed to the best elegant seat.The shopkeeper asked what wine he wanted, and Qi Tai said he would still have to work in the afternoon and only brought tea and spring rolls.
After they ate for a while, Qi Tai mentioned the candidate for generals in the temple this morning.Huang Zicheng was not surprised. At this time, Qi Tai still had the intention to invite him to dinner, so he must have something to say!
Sure enough, Qi Tai said: I have asked someone to visit this person, Li Jinglong.I think it is too risky to use him as a general.This person has never led his troops to fight, and he only relied on reading some military books, and suddenly fought in person. How could he do it?
Huang Zicheng shook his head and said: "The tiger father has no dog son." I have made friends with Duke Cao personally, but I don't just rely on hearsay and make a conclusion. While we are talking, I think Li Jinglong has a lot of insight into the overall situation of the battle. I remember the most: to lead troops to hundreds of thousands, personal courage and deployment of troops are useless, the most important thing is the overall situation! Charge and set up the formation. If the general general wants to work hard on himself, what will so many generals do?
No, no!When Qi Tai heard the words "hearsal" in Huang Zicheng's mouth, he was already very unfriendly, and he was a little angry. Li Jinglong is a stubborn person and thinks he is proficient in himself!Even if it is something that is inexperienced, it never listens to other people's advice and only cares about what you think!
The more Qi Tai said, the more determined he was, the more he was not good at speaking. He usually talked loudly, and he was very polite when talking about the truth, but he was so shaking that he was so terrifying that he did practical things!I think I am doing my best. If I don’t do it well, it’s because others are not doing it well. I don’t think about my own intentions or whether it’s actually...
Huang Zicheng suddenly interrupted Qi Tai's words and asked: Qibutang, what festival do you have with Duke Cao?
Celebrate the festival?Qi Tai was stunned.
Huang Zicheng said seriously: Otherwise, why did Qibutang scold him like this?Duke Cao has no experience?Last time, he led his troops to Kaifeng in the name of preparing for the border, and suddenly he took down the illegal King of Zhou. He was brave and resourceful, and he was not doing this smoothly enough?
Qi Tai's face turned red: Huang Siqing!Regardless of whether I have no contact with Li Jinglong or no grudges, am I the kind of person who only cares about personal grudges and does not care about the grand duke?Then, Yàn named the name in the manifesto and wrote our names openly. Everyone knows that if a major event is unfavorable, what will happen to you and me?
Qi Tai was so angry. In his eyes, Huang Zicheng was the kind of person who was very selfish and stared at intrigue!This guy actually bit back and said that I, Qi Tai, is that kind of person?
The words are too heavy.Huang Zicheng picked up the teacup, took a sip, sniffed it again, pretending to be calm, Qibutang calmed down, how many people and territory were only against the entire Ming Dynasty, can we still be "a big deal"?
Qi Tai took a forced breath and said in a muffled voice: Guo Ying, who is really determined, is better than Li Jinglong!At least Guo Ying followed Taizu and led his troops all year round, so he was sure!
Huang Zicheng sneered: Qibutang, don’t want the scholar’s enthusiasm!
Damn it!Qi Tai almost cursed, and you bit me back. Who is the scholar who is angry?
Huang Zicheng slowly returned to his calm expression and said in a deep voice: When the emperor ascended the throne and tried to reduce the vassal states, Guo Ying advocated the "recommendation method" and wrote two letters to oppose the reduction of the vassal states.Don’t Qibutang know?
Huang Zicheng paused and said: He was originally a political enemy, so he asked him to take charge of the front line. Can he attack with all his heart?If Guo Ying was squatting in the end, would he not leave? Will the court wait to starve to death?That's the year of the monkey and the month of the horse!
Qi Tai said: It’s okay if you don’t need Guo Ying, as long as it’s not Li Jinglong!
Huang Zicheng thoughtfully and picked up the spring roll.
After a long silence, Qi Tai also picked up the rolled spring roll and took a bite, but for some reason, he felt that there was nothing to taste, just like chewing wax!
Bang!Qi Tai threw the spring rolls in his hand straight onto the plate, his movements were very rough.
Huang Zicheng glanced at him, and this time... Qibutang still invites me?
Qi Tai said: Huang Siqing, don’t think that I am from a poor family, I must be stingy!I can still afford a spring roll.
Huang Zicheng smiled.
Qi Tai suddenly felt that he shouldn't say what he said just now. Huang Zicheng did not mention his background, and he was a little too sensitive.
It was like two wild beasts, licking their wounds silently.
In the tent of the army, the civil and military officials were silent for a long time. Some people suggested retreating, and a few people immediately agreed.
