Chapter 1009: Empty Joy
The music was bursting, and all eyes were on it, and His Royal Highness the King of Han, accompanied by all the civil and military forces, went down to the city gate tower and greeted the messenger who was in the dust.
Without waiting for the messenger to stop his horse, the king of Han lifted his robe, knelt in the dust, and said loudly: "Son-in-law Zhu Gaoxu, I respectfully invite my father and emperor Sheng'an!" ”
The civil and military forces behind the king of Han also quickly knelt down and greeted the messenger together.
The messenger's face changed, and he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and hurriedly helped the king of Han up and said, "The prince has misunderstood, the villain is not the messenger of the decree......"
"What?!" Seeing that there was a big oolong, King Han's face swelled into an eggplant, but he couldn't blame others, who made him anxious, and the square inch was in chaos?
"And who are you?!" Hou Tai said angrily: "Don't hurry up!" ”
"The villain is a messenger sent by His Royal Highness King Zhao," the messenger knelt down on his knees, took the cylinder from behind his back, and offered it with both hands. "There are 800 miles of His Royal Highness King Zhao to expedite to His Royal Highness the King of Han!"
"......" King Han's heart tightened, and he had a bad premonition.
Hou Tai hurriedly took the cylinder, opened the seal, and presented the letter to the king of Han. King Han raised his hand and did not answer the letter, but said to Wei Wujian behind him: "Mr. take a look for Gu." ”
Wei Wujian was calm, tore open the seal, took out the letter, read it quickly, leaned over to King Han in a low voice, and whispered a few words.
The civil and military forces didn't know what to say, so they could only stare at the face of His Royal Highness the King of Han, only to see the prince's face, from black to blue, from green to white, and finally became as black as the bottom of the pot.
"Lord, morale can be boosted, it can't be decayed, let's go over the front first......" Seeing that Zhu Gaoxu was about to have a seizure, Wei Wujian hurriedly persuaded him: "The soldiers are all looking at the prince!" ”
"Alas......" King Han gritted his steel teeth, and finally reluctantly suppressed the anger in his belly, and said in a muffled voice: "Today is just a meeting of thieves, and another auspicious day will be ......"
"Huh?!" The generals were surprised, I don't know what happened, so that the prince was already ready to fly, but he had to let go! .
A huge oath meeting, the final result was a thunderstorm, rain, His Royal Highness the King of Han just said a few words of nonsense such as 'the court is in trouble, Shandong is in trouble, bravely kill the enemy, and glorify the ancestors', perfunctory to the generals under him, and left with a black face.
The soldiers who were originally ready to go were also taken back to the barracks in a daze, and no one knew what was going on.
In the Han Palace, there were bursts of roars like crazy tigers in the Yin'an Palace, foul language and unconscious cursing, accompanied by the sound of ping-pong smashing things! The eunuchs and palace maids outside the hall were all silent, lest they be affected by the pond fish and lose their lives.
Wei Wuji, Zhu Heng, Hou Tai, and Ma Zhong stood in the hall with their heads stubborn, looking at His Royal Highness the King of Han who was about to be mad, and waited for him to finish his attack......
King Han is really going crazy! He's been planning for so long! It's been so long! I even endured it for so long against my nature! In exchange, the bamboo basket was empty, and the empty joy was not to be said, and everyone was thrown to grandma's house!
When His Royal Highness the King of Han smashed the bottles and cans of the Yin'an Palace clean, Zhu Heng finally couldn't help but ask, "Lord, what's going on?" ”
Everyone also looked at His Royal Highness the King of Han together, really wondering what kind of madness he was doing.
"......" Zhu Gaoxu wanted to show King Zhao's secret letter to a few people, but found that Fang Cai was angry and didn't know where to throw it. had no choice but to darken his face and said in a muffled voice: "He said that the prince used the storage position to guarantee Liu Sheng, and he fought for him for another month!" ”
"Ahh The generals can be considered to understand now, no wonder King Han is going crazy, it turns out that the boiled duck is flying again.
"Lord Wang, the key is what will happen in a month?" Wei Wujian said calmly, he had read the letter before, so he naturally knew the bottom of his heart.
"It is said that in a month, if Liu Sheng still can't win, not only will Liu Sheng be held accountable, but the prince will also ask for his abdication." Zhu Gaoxu said coldly: "I can't imagine that my eldest brother is so afraid of this king!" ”
"That's not a bad thing, is it?" Wei Wujian said softly: "As long as we wait patiently for another month, the prince will still be the governor and king, and the prince will not be able to eat and walk around......"
"Hmm." Zhu Gaoxu nodded, and said in a muffled voice: "The third letter also said so, he asked this king to endure for another month, as long as he and the White Lotus Sect are at peace for a month, what should be Lao Tzu is still Lao Tzu, and what should not be Lao Tzu will also belong to Lao Tzu!" ”
"But we've already sent troops!" Zhu Heng reminded the two of Han in a low voice: "Even Linzi City has been defeated, how can you be at peace with Qingzhou?" ”
"Why don't you withdraw immediately," Hou Tai whispered, "Return Linzi to Qingzhou?" ”
"Well......" After venting his anger, His Royal Highness King Han regained his composure, pinched his chin and pondered for a moment and said, "If you eat it, there is no reason to spit it out!" This time, take Linzi while he is unprepared, and he must not hand it over again! ”
"The prince is right!" Wei Wuwu nodded, and agreed very much: "We have subdued Linzi, and the division is famous." Without Tang Tiande's sneak attack on us, we can't fight back. In the humble opinion of the students, they can first let the army that attacked Guangrao and Shouguang retreat, and then send people to Qingzhou to tell them that it is justified for us to take back Linzi, which is a punishment for them for breaking the alliance! ”
"Hmm." King Han couldn't help nodding and asked, "And then?" ”
"Then we can give them two choices, war or peace. If you want to fight, then there is nothing to say, everyone fights each other, and you fight to the death on the battlefield! Wei Wujian said in a deep voice: "If they want to make peace, they must swear that they will never break the covenant again, stab their allies in the back, and hand over the culprit who caused the 'Linzi Incident' to us to deal with!" After a pause, Wei Wujian said in a low voice: "If you can do it, we can ...... Give Linzi back to them. ”
"What?!" When Zhu Heng heard this, he jumped like thunder and said: "You didn't listen to the prince, you must not return Linzi to them!" ”
"Hey, General Zhu don't be impatient, the so-called return of the students to Linzi is just an empty word." Wei Wujian shook his head and smiled: "Don't forget our purpose, it's just to fight for a month." So how to fight for it? It's nothing more than a 'drag' word. ”
"Drag?" Zhu Heng was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, drag." Wei Wujian said with a smile: "The so-called negotiation is just to delay time. That Tang Tiande has a narrow temperament, is easy to repeat, and focuses on small profits and forgets the overall situation. When they hear that we have captured Linzi, they will be furious and will fight us to the death. But when I hear that we can return Linzi, I will definitely change my mind and try to avoid war with us. But then I heard that he needed to hand over his henchmen, and he would definitely fall into contradiction again. This goes on and on, and a month passes quickly, and he doesn't necessarily have an idea! ”
"Well, that's right!" Zhu Gaoxu nodded, not to mention Tang Tiande, even himself, when encountering such a complicated situation, he would still be indecisive for a long time.
"What if," Hou Tai said sharply, "which tendon of his surname Tang is wrong, and he will soon have an idea?" ”
"It doesn't matter, even if he agrees to our request, he will definitely put forward a series of conditions, and when the time comes, let's discuss and study it, won't the time pass?" Wei Wujian pursed his lips and smiled: "Even if the covenant is made, when will Linzi City be returned to them, won't we still have the final say?" Drag on for ten days, eight days, and months, and they can still bite people?! ”
"Haha good!" Zhu Gaoxu finally turned cloudy, nodded with a smile, and said, "It's Mr. Yiwei's!" Let's send someone to Qingzhou and drag him for a month! After speaking, he asked, "Who do you think is the most suitable person to take this trip for this king?" ”
"Originally, the students were duty-bound, but the people of their White Lotus Sect were very wary of the students, so I am afraid they would not talk to me." Wei Wujian thought for a moment and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince is the most suitable. His status is noble, he can best represent the prince, and he has been calculated by the White Lotus Sect in Linzi City, if the White Lotus Sect wants to question us, His Royal Highness the Prince can justifiably accuse them of breaking the covenant first! ”
"Hmm." Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while, nodded and said: "Anyway, it's just to delay time, and I don't really want to reconcile with them, let Zhu Zhantan go, and it won't mess up......" After speaking, he ordered in a deep voice: "Spread Gu's Jun decree, Wang Bin and Chen Feng immediately led the army to withdraw to Le'an, Zhu Zhantan handed over the army to the deputy general, and immediately sent an envoy to Qingzhou, there must be no mistake!" ”
"Obey!" The generals responded in silence......
The news that Linzi City was captured by the Han Dynasty army only reached Qingzhou at this moment. When Tang Tiande heard this, he was shocked, and hurriedly summoned his subordinates to immediately go to the lobby that had been changed to the 'Council Hall' to discuss matters!
A group of so-called prime ministers, Pingzhang political affairs, and privy envoys, wearing innocent official uniforms, knelt down to Elder Tang and saluted, shouting that the Dharma King has no borders!
In the past, Tang Tiande liked this set of etiquette the most, but now it has no nature, hurriedly walked to the dragon chair, sat down and said, "Get up." ”
"King Xiefa." After all the civil and military officers got up, Tang Tiande said in a deep voice: "The king of Han has done something to us, last night he sent a large army to attack Linzi, with the cooperation of the traitors, he attacked the city at dawn, our army suffered thousands of casualties, and the remaining remnants of the defeated soldiers are on the way back......"
"Huh?!" Zhongwen Wudeng's face changed greatly, and Bai Bai'er screamed: "It's amazing, the slave family said that the Han King can't be messed with, right?!" ”
"Shut up!" Tang Tiande patted the dragon chair and said angrily: "King Han used us before to achieve his goal of making a comeback!" Once the Emperor reactivates him, he will destroy us first, proving to the Emperor that he is right to use him! Saying that, he took a sip and said, "Knowing this, does the old man still have to sit still?" You must strike first! ”
"But Linzi has let the family take it back...... Bai Baier muttered: "I don't see where the strong is." As one of the three giants who later returned to Tang Tiande, the other two Dong Yangao and Hao Yunzhong were all sealed by Tang Tiande, but Bai Baier was left behind, which made him extremely unhappy, and he became more and more yin and yang all day long.
