When Gao Yu appeared in the court, Emperor Daojun looked at it and was so shocked that his face couldn't help but change. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the past, Gao Yu didn't say how he looked, at least he was full of spirit, his eyes were smart, his steps were light, his waist was straight, his momentum was high, he was full of confidence, he was rich and noble, and he was shrewd and capable.

And the tall man in front of him, with a thin face with high cheekbones and sharp beaked monkey cheeks, has become the palm-sized face pursued by women in later generations, because the face has lost too much, the usual pair of eyes are extraordinarily large at this time, and covered with thick bloodshots, red and swollen and dull like pink eye, the face is flushed and burnt yellow, plus the thin and painful grinning teeth, there is an ugly and hideous feeling at a glance, the steps are vain, swaying, and it seems that the strength to walk is lacking, like a mouse before taking rat medicine, The originally fitting court clothes were empty on the body, and when they walked, they were like wandering ghosts, and the whole thing was terminally ill, and the wind could blow down, as if they would fall to the ground at any time.

Emperor Daojun was an amorous artist.

Amorous people are mostly unsentimental and unkind.

After all, people's energy and many conditions are limited, and if you give a lot of spiritual and material attention, you will inevitably have to favor one over the other and develop into a ruthlessness that likes the new and hates the old.

Emperor Daojun is a typical person who sees things differently, and he prides himself on being amorous and affectionate, but how can he actually do it.

But he really cares for Gao Yu, and he has been pampered from beginning to end. It can be described as full of feelings.

At this moment, he saw Gao Yu looking like a dying ghost who was about to ascend to heaven at any time, and he was surprised, but he was concerned about his life, and couldn't help blurting out surprise: "Gao Qing, what's wrong with you?" ”

Just a few days ago, the newspaper came to chase and suppress pirates in Mizhou, and the words were still full of high morale, full of spirit, joy of victory and triumphant confidence, how did it become like this in the blink of an eye?

What happened to torture Gao Qing into such a depressed image?

Could it be that the war was urgent, protracted, overworked, injured and extremely sick?

Zhao Ji believed in Gao Yu's loyalty to him, and he never suspected that Gao Yu would lie to him, but he didn't expect that it would be a fiasco for the army at this time.

Gao Yu is older than Zhao Ji, but this will be like a wronged child seeing his father, he knelt on the ground with a snort, and choked up affectionately: "Enlighten the saint, the minister is guilty." ”

Daojun was stunned when he heard this.

Guilty?

Could it be that he was careless for a while, won and lost, was calculated by pirates and poisoned, suffered a big loss, and fought a big defeat?

Gao Qing is a loyal courtier, this time the pirates are coming, the momentum is violent, the military is monstrous, rampant, it is Gao Qing who is not afraid of the initiative to ask for war, tireless work, scorching summer, to fight thousands of miles, from the two Huai straight to Shandong, exterminate many thieves and fornicating thieves of the people's gangsters, eliminate the hidden danger of the fundamental tax Jianghuai, this is already a great achievement, and raise a large amount of money and grain, so that the local government can collect a large number of gangsters and big households to seize the non-taxable land and real estate, etc., in time to make up for the imperial court's urgent use, It also greatly opened up the tax and financial resources base in Jianghuai and Shandong, and was loyal to the king, worked hard and made high achievements, and did not blame the guilty.

Emperor Daojun didn't take the lives of the soldiers seriously at all, the rude, ignorant, lowly and greedy Qiu Bawufu, how many people died, he didn't feel distressed, he didn't know the specific situation of the war at this time, he didn't expect that the whole army would be wiped out, and only three people were left to come back, and he didn't care if he lost the battle or not.

Isn't it just that some soldiers died?

What's the big deal?

How is it possible to fight a war without dying?

As long as you are loyal to the king's affairs and make achievements, you don't lose your troops in vain.

Daojun felt sorry for Gao Yu and was biased, but he hadn't figured out what was going on, he wanted to forgive and comfort Gao Yu, and he couldn't say it at this time as he thought.

He said softly: "Gao Qing, don't be sad. ”

"I see that you seem to be seriously ill, mentally damaged, and very weak, presumably due to overwork. Don't be in a hurry to ask for sin, just make it clear to me slowly. ”

Gao Yu was proud and very grateful.

Respectfully kowtowing to Daojun, he tried to lift his temper and said loudly: "Thank you, Saint, for your compassion. May all death serve the work of dogs and horses. ”

Next, he didn't listen to the emperor's words and got up to report to the emperor in front of the Manchu civil and military forces.

Kneeling also saves effort.

He was in poor physical condition, and insisted on going to the court early to fight for sympathy, but at this time, he really didn't have the strength to stand for a long time and make up nonsense and fight with the emperor, and kneeling on the ground can show that his sincere attitude can make the emperor satisfied and distressed, so he knelt down according to the storyline he had made up in advance, and slowly unfolded the war process to the emperor.

“…… The pirates were afraid of the morale of our army, fled and robbed all the way from south to north, always avoided fighting with our army, relied on the convenience of sea ships to maneuver with our army, and played guerrilla tactics. When our army pursued them to the north, the pirates abandoned the land and boarded the ships and fled to the sea, then turned around and went back to the south to seize the region. Our army returned to the south, and the pirates boarded the ships and went north. And so on and so forth. ”

"Because of the strength of the thieves, with the help of the clippers, it is convenient and flexible to gather and disperse, the combat power is not weak, it is fierce and good at fighting, and the weapons are especially sharp. The ministers did not dare to divide the troops, spread the weak troops, and take into account multiple places at the same time, for fear that the thieves would take the opportunity to gather heavy troops and destroy the major matter of suppressing bandits entrusted by the saint. I had no choice but to concentrate my forces and keep an eye on the calculations, and kept chasing back and forth, going back and forth, going back and forth, the south, the north, the south, the north, the north, the south, the north, the south, the north, the north, the south Just to serve the country, for the king to share worries, do not dare to quit the hard work, all the soldiers are tired, but they read the grace of the saint, do not complain of hardship or tiredness. ”

Daojun snorted and nodded in satisfaction.

Regarding these, he already knew in the previous recital, and when he heard Gao Yu tell him in person, he could appreciate how difficult this battle was.

"Thieves are cunning. Our warships are not yet ready and cannot be unveiled too soon. can only work hard, Aiqing led the soldiers to fight wits and courage on land with the thieves. ”

"The valiant soldiers of the Ministers thank the saint for their care."

Gao Yu's illness was not good, and the whiplash wounds all over his body were not good, and he still had a fever, which hurt his vitality, and his physical strength and energy were not good, but in order to get rid of his crimes, he gritted his teeth and beat his spirit.

Later, the ministers resorted to the enemy's arrogant strategy, pursued and killed Mizhou, and finally blocked the more than 100,000 pirates who were plundering Mizhou City and the vicinity.

The thieves could not escape to the sea, so they escaped and about 30,000 or 20,000 people rushed to Laizhou to rob, in a vain attempt to divert our army. The minister sent 50,000 soldiers to chase after him, and led the rest of the soldiers to trap the rest to the death. The pirate army had to fight hard with our army. ”

"Our army is worried about the king's affairs, for fear of losing the grace of the saint, although the road to battle for a long time, keeping an eye on the thieves and chasing and killing has not dared to slack off and recuperate, and the fierce battle was extremely hot and thirsty and tired for a few days, but our army has many generals, has the advantage of troops, and the hearts of the people can also be moved, the fighting spirit of the whole army is high, and the murderous hatred accumulated for many days can finally be vented on the pirates, the generals are brave, the soldiers strive to follow forward, and the morale of the pirates is gradually declining, and they want to escape but no matter how brave they are, they can not break through the encirclement, and they can only be trapped in the beast and fight.

At this time, the general of the auxiliary state, who pursued the Halal Mountain Rogues to Dengzhou, sent people to report to the ministers quickly, and the pirates sent troops and ships to meet the Halal Shan Liukou in Dengzhou and fled overseas.

The Liukou already had millions of dollars, and although he was chased and killed by many auxiliary generals, he was still numerous and arrogant. In addition, the number of pirates who responded was also large. The two thieves converged, and the power became stronger and stronger.

There were too many rogues, gathered on the beach and waited to get on the boat, but they couldn't turn away for a while, and they were chased and killed by the general of the auxiliary country. The two thieves were in a hurry, and they became ferocious at the end of the road, and began to join forces to counterattack, in a vain attempt to repel the pursuers so that they could calmly retreat. Seeing that the thieves were too numerous and fierce and daring to fight, the general of the auxiliary country was worried that it would be difficult for him to deal with only 100,000 soldiers and horses alone, so he asked his ministers to help.

It just so happens that most of the pirates have been eliminated here in Michigan.

Although the losses were not small, the superiority in troops was obvious, and the whole army was eager for a big victory, full of confidence, eager to fight, and more morale. However, Yu Kou fought hard for many days, trapped in the same place without food and water, hunger and thirst, his army was weakened, and most of the pirate leaders were also lost, and the overall morale of the pirates became more and more low, and their demise was imminent. The minister no longer needs so many troops here in Mizhou, and he is sure that he will be able to annihilate the thieves soon, and he has the ability to draw troops to help the general of the auxiliary state to suppress the enemy in Dengzhou, so he sent another 100,000 troops led by the champion general to urgently kill Laizhou, and responded to the 50,000 troops who chased and killed the fleeing pirates before, quickly wiped out the thieves, and went north to encircle and suppress the two thieves in Dengzhou. ”

"The specific process of the war in Laizhou and Dengzhou is not very clear. I only heard that the 20,000 or 30,000 who escaped from Mizhou in time were elite pirates, extremely well-equipped, very strong in combat, and proud of their own bravery, and when they saw that our pursuers were only 50,000, they tried to retaliate, turned around and took the initiative to fight a decisive battle, but both sides were defeated, and thousands of the remaining thieves fled to the sea with minor injuries.

Our two armies joined forces in time to fight a large battle with millions of thieves in Dengzhou, and the battle was so dark that the sun and moon were dark, and the blood flowed like a river.

The rogue is arrogant, but after all, most of them are rabble. After several days of fierce fighting, our army annihilated a total of 450,000 enemies before and after, and almost killed all the pirates who were rogue and young and strong and came ashore to meet them. But our army also suffered heavy casualties.

In the end, the ferocious pirates and thieves were able to get on the boat and escape in order to cover the surviving rogues, young and strong, old and weak, women and children, and deceived our army, the strength was weak, and the battle was too long and exhausted, and the fierce battle lasted for several days, the whole army was exhausted, but the enemy was eager to return to Beijing as soon as possible to continue the pursuit, the thieves saw the opportunity, waited for the opportunity to deceive, and quietly gathered the troops on the ship in the process of land escape and transfer, set up an ambush, took advantage of the favorable terrain and used the bows and crossbows that the pirates were best at intensive raids, and the ambush was successful, and the heavy losses were inflicted on the spot and finally defeated my tired division. ”

"The harsh terrain made it difficult for our army to counterattack and fell into passive beating. In the chaos, both the Auxiliary General and the Champion General were unfortunately killed on the spot. After the remnants broke through the siege, they were extremely tired and unable to fight again, and they lost their unified command, so they had to rest on the ground, and just in time for the torrential rain, the pirates took the opportunity to quickly pick up the remaining rogues and leave. The remnants of the army withdrew to Mizhou. The minister annihilated the pirates in Mizhou, although the army was also exhausted, but he had to report the tragic battle in Dengzhou, and hurriedly led the army north to respond, trying to block the rogue from the south to get on the ship. ”

"Unexpectedly, the army from the north has been defeated, and the pirates have already left Dengzhou. Unexpectedly, when the minister hurriedly went to meet the remnants of the army, the pirates held a grudge, and in retaliation, they transferred the main elite to raid and quickly annihilate the remnants of our army with superior forces. ”

"Although there were more than 100,000 troops under his command at that time, many of them were wounded and exhausted, and although they fought bravely to the death, they were finally defeated by the pirate soldiers and were too strong.

After several fierce battles in a row, they could not break through, and the minister's army could not support it and fell into a rout. At this point, the minister had the intention to kill the thief, but he was unable to return to the sky, and he was powerless to rise up and lead the troops to break through for the last time. General Huaihua took the initiative to stay behind and lead part of his troops to cover the main force. The commander is responsible for opening the way in front.

In the end, they all commanded the commander to fall off their horses and die in battle. The minister bravely waved his sword to the death to boost morale, scarred, and under the desperate conflict and protection of the deputy commander and the marquis of Du Yu, he finally broke out of the encirclement with the only few thousand wounded soldiers. The pirates were reluctant, and although they were tired, they continued to hunt and kill. Our army was fortunate to have the minister's brother Yizhou Zhizhou Gaofeng heard the news and led the troops to rescue, a fierce battle, stopped the tired pirates, and the minister had the life to go to Yizhou City to rest temporarily. ”

"Hateful pirates are too vicious and cunning."

In this sentence, Gao Yu, who suffered a dumb loss, was moved by feelings, revealed his true feelings, and gritted his teeth with hatred, so he said it very sincerely.

"The pirates somehow learned the news of Yizhou in time, and took advantage of the opportunity that my brother led the state soldiers to Laizhou to bravely rescue our army, and the Yizhou city garrison was empty, raided and broke the city, killed all the officials and big families in the city, ransacked the good state city almost empty, and ransacked the dilapidated Mizhou, and escaped to the sea in time. It's a pity that the wounded soldiers brought out by the ministers were all seriously injured but had no cure due to the pirates, and they died one after another, leaving only the ministers with thick armor and lucky not fatal injuries, and the strong deputy commander and Du Yuhou survived. After investigation, the minister learned that the broken general Huaihua was surrounded and attacked by the pirate elite who suffered heavy losses, and he had already died on the spot when the minister broke through. ”

Emperor Daojun understood when he heard this.

After a long time, the forbidden army that went out of Beijing to suppress thieves turned out to be wiped out, and even the main general was almost dead, and only three of the more than 400,000 people remained?

This, this is also too miserable!

This, this loss is too great!

The 800,000 soldiers of the town and the country who defended the good land of Gyeonggi are half gone, and the defense of the capital is empty, how can they deter hundreds of thousands of arrogant soldiers of the Western Army?

Emperor Daojun was still thinking about Gao Yu returning to the capital with a victorious army to show off his might, so that the border army knew the strength of the Beijing army and Zhao Gonglian knew his military power.

Now the whole army was wiped out, and only three of them were covered in wounds, and they looked like they were going to die at any time, and the generals returned to the capital, how did this make the arrogant Zhao Gonglian be in awe?

Without a dazzling record and a brave army to rely on, Emperor Daojun suddenly felt so weak that his heart was half cold.
