Chapter 953: Suspicion
There was no sound in the big tent except for Min Ruoying's heavy panting. Yang Qing lowered his head www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" pavilion, and he didn't dare to make a sound, Min Ruoying was a great master at the grandmaster level, and he couldn't even control his breathing at this time, which showed the degree of anger in his heart at the moment.
After a long time, Yang Qing quietly raised his head and secretly glanced at Min Ruoying, and was immediately startled, the muscles on the emperor's face kept twitching, and they were flushed, and it seemed that he might go berserk at any time.
Yang Qing only felt that life was like a year, I don't know how long it had been, the wheezing voice gradually subsided, but there was Min Ruoying's cruel laughter in his ears: "Okay, very good, I still think that Cheng Wuben is loyal, and he actually dares to abandon me, do you think that I will definitely not be able to come back alive?" Well, that's great, the wolf's ambition is obvious. ”
Yang Qing didn't dare to say a word on this issue, even if he thought that Cheng Wuben did this, there was a certain reason, if Cheng Wuben was really ambitious, he would not let Jiang Tao take 10,000 cavalry to die. But at this moment, how dare he speak out to defend Cheng Wuben. could only hang his head silently and let Min Ruoying vent.
"Since Wanzhou no longer has our Great Chu troops, it must have been controlled by the Chu people at this moment, with the situation you have discovered, can we still go to Wanzhou?" Min Ruoying finally calmed down slowly, now, his first task is to go back alive, and he has to go back with his troops, since Cheng Wuben dares to do this, he must have something to rely on, if he runs away alone, the guy who dares to abandon his father will not dare to kill the king?
"Your Majesty, although Wanzhou no longer has our troops, but there is no elite division of the Chu people, Guo Jiyun's main force, has rushed to Kunling Pass, after seizing Kunling Pass, he began to attack the six eastern counties, and Guo Jiyun himself, led his cavalry, after eliminating General Jiang Tao's department, has led his troops to Chang'an, I heard that General An Ruhai's troops are now marching to Chang'an, Guo Jiyun is obviously going back to escort. Now Wanzhou, mainly some Qi county soldiers are defending, and only stationed in the city, our army to Wanzhou, there is still no problem, after all, we are not going to attack the city and plunder the land, but just to return to the country by the way, with the strength of the county soldiers, we dare not provoke our army at all. ”
"And then?" Min Ruoying snorted coldly and pointed to a sub-map hanging in the tent, "Then retreat to Jinghu?" There is Cheng Wuben, a bastard who deceives the king, in Jinghu, where do I dare to go? ”
Yang Qing was silent for a moment, "Your Majesty, if we don't go to Wanzhou, we will inevitably go to Phoenix Mountain, and where, there is a Qi State Dragon Inlay Army already stationed there, and now I don't know how many people they have?" But there will definitely be no shortage of one battle camp, and once we go, it is very likely to attract more attacks from the main force of the Qi army, even if we pass this hurdle, but in the direction of the six eastern counties, where Zhou Jiyun's troops are already waiting. It can be described as a tough battle. ”
"Even if it's a hard fight, I won't go to Jinghu County." Min Ruoying's face was a little hideous, "Kill, kill, kill out, kill Phoenix Mountain, kill the six eastern counties, I want to return to Shangjing from the six eastern counties." ”
"Your Majesty, Weichen still thinks that it is more important to go to Jinghu, Cheng Shuai, so as not to dare to disobey Your Majesty." Yang Qing said boldly.
"Don't dare? He already dared. Min Ruoying sneered: "But if he is a person who has a monarch's father in his heart, will he brazenly withdraw his troops and retreat to Jinghu when his monarch's father is still trapped in Luzhou?" If Zhou Jiyun didn't want to snatch the credit for going to Kunling Pass, but led his main force to Luzhou to join the ranks of besieging us, would we still be able to break out of the siege of Luzhou? Zhou Jiyun in order to win more credit to seize Cao Yun's position, so he will not go to Luzhou, but first send the main force to rob Kunling Pass, and then lead the cavalry to encircle and suppress An Ruhai, in this way, his credit for winning Kunling Pass is a real fight, and to encircle and suppress An Ruhai, he will inevitably get the support of most of the nobles and gentry of Qi State, if it weren't for Zhou Jiyun's careful thinking, I can still fight out of the encirclement, dream! ”
Yang Qing's face changed color, no matter what, the emperor's inference was reasonable.
"Yang Qing, you are my confidant, and I have nothing to hide from you. When I was still a prince, Cheng Wu didn't support me, and I didn't know what he said about me in private. But I endured all this, and although I relieved him of his position as commander of the Eastern Frontier Army, I still held him in high esteem, and even re-employed him last year. It's a pity that this person's hatred for me seems to have not been eliminated at all, but is buried deep in his heart, and he will harm me as soon as he has the opportunity. Hehehehe, he's probably looking forward to my death in Luzhou now, so that he can justifiably support my son to ascend the throne, and then "take over the power and be a emperor, right?" ”
Yang Qing's face changed greatly, what Min Ruoying said was too damning, Yang Qing didn't even dare to think about it.
"How dare I go to Jinghu? Jinghu County guarded Zeng Lin, but Yang Yihe's remnants, at that time, he was still very knowledgeable, and his reputation in Jinghu County was extremely high, so I didn't move him, and now that I have such a good opportunity, this person will not seize it? Now I think it must be in collusion with Cheng Wuben. If I go to Jinghu, won't I fall into the net? ”
"Your Majesty has 40,000 Fire Phoenix Army, why are you afraid of going to Jinghu? Cheng Wuben and Zeng Lin really have a heart of disobedience, and they can just break it with one blow. Yang Qing still wanted to persuade Min Ruoying to go to Jinghu, he didn't believe that Cheng Wu was against him, and with 40,000 Fire Phoenix troops on his side, this powerful force was enough to make any rebel think twice.
"Yang Qing, if I don't believe that you don't doubt it, just if you say this, I will wonder if you are Cheng Wuben's comrade!" Min Ruoying said sharply.
Yang Qing was shocked, and knelt down with a snort: "Your Majesty, there is only Your Majesty in your heart, and you are only loyal to Your Majesty in this life." ”
Min Ruoying said in a dark voice: "I know, that's why I don't blame you, you don't command the army, naturally I don't know the specific situation of Jinghu, the Fire Phoenix Army is a cavalry, and when you go to a place like Jinghu where the ditch river and lake factions are everywhere, what can it do?" Cheng Wuben arrived at Jinghu first, as long as he mastered a boat division, he could not advance or retreat the 40,000 Fire Phoenix Army. ”
"It's the stupidity of the subordinates." Yang Qing kowtowed.
"Go and invite Luo Shuai to come over, as well as all the generals of the Fire Phoenix Army." Min Ruoying instructed, "Wanzhou can't go, we have to fight a bloody way to go home." ”
Outside Jinghu County, the county guard Zeng Lin ushered in the retreat from the Qi State.
Zeng Lin, Yang Yihe of Chu State was an old minister of the Xiang period, more than sixty years old, was Yang Yihe during the government period of the feudal officials who relied on him very much, a few years ago, in the Beijing Incident, Zeng Lin saw the opportunity very quickly, after the fall of Yang Yihe, immediately went to the court, showing his loyalty, and finally saved his net worth and official position. At that time, Min Ruoying also urgently needed such a person as an example to mark the correctness of her position and the desire of the people, so at that time, Zeng Lin still got a lot of praise. Later, when Min Ruoying sat firmly in her position and wanted to replace Zeng Lin, she couldn't find any handle for this person.
It is definitely not okay to say that he is Yang Yihe's classmate, because before, Min Ruoying herself had issued an order to commend him, and wanted to catch his pigtails on top of governance, but he couldn't catch it at all, this person has a very high reputation in Jinghu, and in desperation, this matter dragged down like this.
"Brother Cheng, it's been hard all the way!" Looking at Cheng Wuben with a tired face, Zeng Lin greeted him and bowed his hand.
"Brother Zeng!" Cheng Wuben smiled bitterly: "The Great Chu has been established for more than 100 years, and the most dangerous time has come. Cheng Wuben didn't talk nonsense, and said bluntly: "I am ready to build the second line of defense of Dachu in Jinghu, and I need Brother Zeng's great help." ”
"I already know about this matter, and I have made corresponding preparations, Jinghu County has mobilized the whole county, and the county soldiers have entered a state of imminent battle, but their ability to fight is okay, and it is not necessary to expect them to defeat the enemy and win. And the county is young and strong, I also mobilized and began to strengthen the walls of various prefectures and counties, build a defense line, just waiting for Brother Cheng to return. Zeng Lin said: "To be honest, I really don't want to see Brother Cheng appear in front of me." ”
Cheng Wuben didn't hear Zeng Lin's last sentence clearly, "Brother Zeng has such a strategic vision, and he has actually prepared in advance, that's great, in this way, Cheng Mou has a few more confidences." ”
Zeng Lin smiled bitterly: "How can I have this ability, let me govern one side, then I am holding a handle, if I want to consult the military, that is to catch blind, the reason why I have made these preparations is actually because Princess Zhaohua wrote me a long letter, she said that Cheng Shuai will inevitably lead the troops to retreat to Jinghu, and even Princess Zhaohua also raised millions of taels of military expenses for Cheng Shuai in Quanzhou, and hundreds of thousands of taels of military food, and now these are sealed in my county treasury." ”
"Princess Zhaohua?" Cheng Wuben's face changed slightly, Princess Zhaohua is the queen mother of the Ming Dynasty, and Da Chu has fallen to such a point, but there is also the impetus of the Ming Kingdom behind it, at this time, after listening to Zeng Lin's words, my heart is really sour.
"Yes, not only that, Princess Zhaohua also persuaded the Ning clan in Quanzhou, Cheng Shuai, let me introduce to you, this is Ning Zhiwen, the head of the Ning clan, the country is in great trouble, the Ning patriarch led more than 100 warships, thousands of sailors and a Quanzhou sailor, came to Jinghu together, and was willing to be a pawn for Cheng Shuai."
An old man who had been standing behind Zeng Lin stepped forward and clasped his fists: "Quanzhou Ning Zhiwen, see the process is handsome." ”
Ning Zhiwen is a person, ordinary people don't know his details, but how could Cheng Wuben not know the details of the biggest pirate leader in Chu State, hearing that he led people to help, he was very surprised in his heart, Jinghu has many lakes and rivers, and with this general who is good at water warfare, Jinghu Lake is impregnable.
