Chapter 388: History Suddenly Changes
"Concocted to come to Junchen? Really? ”
Cui Geng couldn't help but look at Zhang Dayushi in front of him, and said: "The courtiers are afraid of the handsome ministers like tigers, aren't you afraid that he will give you small shoes afterwards?" ”
Zhang Ling snorted lightly and said, "Will this official be afraid of him?" Cui Shushu, why don't you think about it, Your Majesty didn't hand over the errand of finding the wall dragon to Lai Junchen, but to me, what does it mean? ”
Teng Teng!
The gossip flame in Cui Geng's heart jumped three feet high, and said excitedly: "Is it possible, Zhang Yushi, do you have other identities?" ”
Zhang Yan said: "What is the specific identity of this official, Cui Shu will know in the future." I can only tell you now, the surname is not the official! How about it, do you dare to join me now to find trouble with Junchen? ”
Once the power is in hand, the order will be carried out.
Together with Zhang Ling, he broke into the magistrate's house with a gold medal, arrested Lai Junchen and Wan Guojun, tortured him, and announced his personal vendetta...... It's really touching to think about!
But it's just a matter of thinking.
Cui Geng quickly suppressed his impulse, waved his hand, and said, "Forget it." We just have the gold medal given by His Majesty, at best, we can only beat Lai Junchen, which is not interesting. ”
"Okay, very good, Cui Shushu, you have passed the first level, and the official is more and more optimistic about you!"
Zhang Ling patted Cui Geng's shoulder and continued: "Taking out these two gold medals now is undoubtedly a tyrannical thing. We have to use good steel on the blade, if we don't get a gold medal, we will let the head of the person with the surname fall to the ground as soon as it comes out! ”
What mess? The first level? And let Lai Junchen's head fall to the ground?
Cui Geng said a little strangely: "Zhang Yushi, how can you listen to the meaning of your words, do you have to put Junchen to death?" Don't you tell me it's to get angry with me? ”
Zhang Ling said meaningfully: "Of course it's more than that. As for the specific reason, Cui Shu has achieved my position in the future, and I will know. ”
This is even more cloudy, Cui Geng's book Lang is the fifth grade, and Zhang Ling's imperial history is the sixth grade, is it possible that Cui Geng's official is getting smaller and smaller? Or is it ...... Is he referring to that secret identity?
Cui Geng wanted to ask again, but this time Zhang Ling began to talk about him left and right. was really anxious, so he had to drag Cui Geng to Qing~Lou to prostitute himself, and accumulate materials in the name of it.
Cui Geng had no choice but to give up the plan to get to the bottom of it, and agreed with him that the two sides would secretly investigate the whereabouts of the wall dragon, and ventilate in time when they had the news.
……
……
Time is like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, two months have passed. There has been no progress in finding the whereabouts of the wall dragon.
Fortunately, Wu Zetian was not in a hurry, because there was a major event that involved almost all of her energy - the 100,000 troops sent to conquer the Khitan were wiped out!
On this day, the morning dynasty.
The angry voice of Wu Yizong, the king of Hanoi, sounded in the court, and said: "How can the 100,000 army of my Great Zhou be defeated by the 100,000 rabble of the Khitan?" According to this king, there must be a traitor within our Zhou army. Check, this time we must investigate ruthlessly, and kill all those chaotic ministers and thieves! ”
"Oh? Is it? "Chen Ziang is now reinstated as an official and serves the imperial history in the palace, and of course he is also qualified to go to the early dynasty.
He sneered and said, "The king of Hanoi is known as "Zhou Lai Zhiya", so he must be very good at investigating cases? Please go to the front of the two armies and check on those rebellious ministers and thieves, right? ”
"I ...... This one...... This ......"
Wu Yizong's civil war is an insider, an outsider, that is, a happy mouth, how dare he really go to the front line, he was speechless on the spot.
Wu Zetian couldn't bear to see his nephew deflated, so he waved his hand and said: "The suggestion of the King of Hanoi still has some truth, but now that our army is newly defeated, the people are panicking, and it is not appropriate to have more twists and turns." Step aside. ”
"Yes." Wu Yizong stepped back, and when he looked at Chen Ziang, his eyes were suddenly full of resentment.
Wu Zetian said again: "Wang Shangshu, you are in charge of Xia Guan (Military Department), I don't know what you think about this battle?" ”
Wang Xiaojie bowed slightly, and said: "Weichen and the king of Hanoi have different views, throughout this battle, our army was defeated, mainly due to Li Jin's annihilation (Li Jin's loyalty) being too cunning......"
Then, Wang Xiaojie told the story of the battle.
After Li Quanzhong captured Yingzhou, he imprisoned the hundreds of people who were captured in the dungeon and lied to them: "Our Khitan rebellion is forced to be helpless, and we will surrender as soon as the army of the imperial court arrives, and when the time comes, please help the Khitan people say a few good words." ”
Then, they gave those officers and men good food, drink, and hospitality.
After a few days, he said: "I'm sorry, everyone, our Khitan has no food, and we really can't afford to support you, so let's do whatever you want." ”
In this way, all the captives were released, and the false information fabricated by Li Quanzhong was told to the imperial army.
Zhou Jun believed that it was true, so he had a contempt and rushed to be the first.
On this day, the vanguard of the Zhou army arrived at the battlefield preset by Li Qianzhong - Huangzhang Valley.
Li Qianzhong first sent the old and weak people to pretend to surrender, and then deliberately placed the old cow and thin horse on the side of the road to show hunger and exhaustion.
After the Zhou army relaxed its vigilance, Li Quanzhong suddenly abandoned the infantry, led the cavalry into the valley, surrounded the Tang army, and ordered the Khitan army ambushed in the valley to attack from all sides.
The officers and troops were suddenly attacked, caught off guard, and fought a big defeat, Jin Wuwei general Zhang Xuanyu, Sinong Shaoqing Ma Renjie was captured by the flying rope, and the soldiers fell into the valley and died countless.
After this battle, all the vanguard units of the Zhou army were annihilated.
After winning the first battle, Li Quanzhong deceived the captured officers and soldiers into military seals, forced the captured officers and generals such as Zhang Xuanyu and Ma Renjie to sign on the seals, and urgently ordered the troops behind the palace to accelerate their advance day and night.
Taking advantage of the fact that the rear guard of the Zhou army was tossed by this military order and was exhausted, Li Quanzhong repeated his old tricks, once again chose a favorable terrain, and ate all the troops in the palace.
During the whole process, Zhou Jun did not make any major mistakes except for a slight slight underestimation of the enemy. In this way, he fought such a big defeat, and he can only admit that Li Quanzhong used his troops like a god.
Wu Zetian actually knew about the process of this battle for a long time, but after listening to Wang Xiao's story, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart - she could hear that her number one favorite general, Wang Xiaojie, seemed to have some appreciation and some ...... for Li Qianzhong Fear!
The empress did not give up, and opened her mouth to confirm: "Wang Shangshu, if I order you to command the army to conquer the Khitan, I don't know how sure you are?" ”
"If the soldiers are well paid, Weichen's grasp can be seventy percent."
"Seventy percent...... It's a little lower. ”
Wu Zetian understands that this is in the Jinluan Palace, Wang Xiaojie considers the morale of the army, and if he can say more, he will not say less.
He said that he was 70% sure, but maybe the actual certainty was only 60%, or even 50%!
Once Wang Xiaojie loses the battle again, who else in the world can control Li Quanzhong? Coupled with those ill-intentioned people fanning the flames, my country is ...... I'm afraid it's unimaginable!
A great coldness surged into Wu Zetian's heart, she took a deep breath, looked at Shangguan Wan'er in the corner and said, "Shangguan Sheren is planning a decree!" ”
"Yes."
"The system said: All the states in the world, the prisoners and the slaves of the Shushi family are brave, the official will compensate them for their integrity, and they will do their best to attack the Khitan, and there must be no mistakes!"
"Huh?"
As soon as Wu Zetian's words came out, many courtiers couldn't help but exclaim.
What does this decree mean? That is to say, if there are brave prisoners and domestic slaves in the world, the government can give money to redeem them and send them to the front line to attack the Khitan.
This is the rhythm of smashing pots and selling iron, and relying on the advantage of numbers to kill the Khitan!
Wait, though...... This trick sounds beautiful, but in reality, is it really possible?
Looking through the history books, there seem to be only two things that can be compared with Wu Zetian's edict today, the first one, the king of Shang issued slave weapons to the slaves when King Wu of Zhou's soldiers pressed the border, so that they could fight against the Zhou army, but the slaves turned against each other, and the king died for the battle of Muye.
Second, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in order to obtain Dawan's BMW good horse, recruited 60,000 prisoners and sons-in-law from all over the world, although it was claimed to have won, but only more than 10,000 people returned to Yumen Pass. Four of the five died, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty won the country very righteously and can stand it, but can you Wu Zetian stand it?
To put it mildly, using this trick is the disintegration of the heavenly demons ~ law, a sign of the death of the country!
Of course, although many people have thought of this, but Wu Zetian's will has been issued, is there anyone who dares to do the song of the horse?
Lou Shide, a good old man in officialdom, didn't dare, Prime Minister Su Wei didn't dare, Shangguan Wan'er didn't dare, and Wang Xiaojie, a famous general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, didn't dare either!
At the critical moment, you have to look at the sky and not be afraid of the earth, and dare to keep up with Chen Ziang, who is not afraid of Guan Wan'er!
He suddenly came out of class and knelt on the ground, and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks this will is inappropriate." First, the prisoners and slaves were not good families, and their loyalty to the court was really questionable. Second, my Dazhou prison is fair, and there are not many prisoners. As for the domestic slaves, most of them were cowardly and could hardly take on the task. The most important thing is, how many loyal and righteous people in my Great Zhou are tens of millions? How many are millions of armor? The small Khitan rebellion can be extinguished when the imperial court eases up. Recruiting prisoners and evil slaves now will make Siyi despise the strength of the imperial court, and I hope Your Majesty will think about it carefully! ”
These words were both clear and not aggressive at all, and the ministers bowed their heads slightly when they heard it, hoping that Wu Zetian would change his mind.
What about Cui Geng at this time? He was secretly happy for Chen Ziang.
In history, it was Chen Ziang who wrote a book and persuaded Wu Zetian to change his mind, get a big lottery, and become famous all over the world.
Today, it is time for history to repeat itself.
Unexpectedly, before Wu Zetian could speak, Wu Yizong suddenly spoke and changed the direction of the topic.
"Haha!" The old ugly ghost sneered and said, "Chen Ziang, you finally showed your fox tail, right?" In less than two months after the Khitan arose, it wiped out my army of 100,000. Slow down? If it is delayed for a few more months, I am afraid that even if I have a million troops in Dazhou, I will be helpless against it. Say! Are you the Khitan's internal response, and you specially gave me a bad idea for Da Zhou. ”
Lai Junchen also saw the bargain and said, "It's very possible!" As far as I know, a few months ago, Chen Ziang, the palace attendant, Wang Xiaojie, the Xia official Shangshu, and Lang Cui Geng, went to Su Honghui's mansion for a banquet together. During the banquet, the two sons and one daughter of the Khitan pioneer Sun Wanzhu (Sun Wanrong) once appeared, and what he said was unknown to outsiders. ”
The thief takes a bite and goes into the bone for three points!
Wu Zetian's face changed in an instant, and he said, "Is this true?" ”
Lai Junchen said respectfully: "Weichen dares to confront Wang Shangshu, General Su, Chen Yushi and Cui Shushu in court, but there is half a lie, and he is willing to be punished!" ”
"Okay, Wang Aiqing, you say it first."
Wang Xiaojie was selfless in his heart, and immediately told what happened.
Cui Geng listened while sweating through his shirt, this is fatal! The previous thing was clear, but then, Wang Xiaojie left ahead of schedule!
Among these people, Wu Zetian trusts Wang Xiaojie the most. Without him as a witness, can Wu Zetian believe his and Chen Ziang's words?
If she changed her mind a little and asked Lai Junchen to investigate the case thoroughly, would she still be able to have a good one?
What can I do?
Cui Geng's mind was racing, and he suddenly took the initiative to attack: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that there is no need to worry about the Khitan Li Jin's destruction!" ”
