Chapter 01: Marshal Skipping
The war between Dasui and the Rabbit Rice Empire, the time and energy consumed, is of course very huge, but the forces involved in this war and the people involved are also very wide!
Beiliang and Li Tang, who are the main attackers and deputies, needless to say, as the beaten rabbit rice and rabbit mushroom rice empire, there is no need to talk about it, these four forces are all on the bright side.
And in this war, there are even more forces that are secretly implicated.
The Western Turkic Empire, the Eastern Turkic Empire, and almost all the forces in the northern part of Dasui were all dragged into this war, and all the forces wanted to withdraw immediately, which was completely impossible.
However, from the moment Wukong and Zhao Min signed the alliance, the war between Dasui and Rabbit Rice had actually stopped, and there was no need to continue fighting!
If Da Sui does not fulfill the covenant, then Wukong is likely to be in danger of his life, and he will lose his trust in the whole world, but if Da Sui does not fulfill the covenant, how can he tell Cheng Yaojin, Li Yuan, Li Gui, Li Jing, etc...... , hundreds of civil ministers and military generals to explain?
Thinking about it with his toes, he can guess that when Cheng Yaojin receives the order to cut the land and withdraw from the army, what will he do...... , annoyed by what it looks like.
Therefore, in order to prevent changes in Northern Liang, Li Gui and others received the order to retreat, and at the same time, they also secretly received a ...... , Spy on the cold orders of the North Beam!
This is no way, after all, Li Tang's strength has not been completely recovered yet, if Cheng Yaojin is angry and leads 200,000 soldiers and horses to kill Li Tang, then, it will not take him seven days at all, he can directly occupy Dasui, nearly one-third of the territory.
If it does get to this point, it will be too bad.
Therefore, although the order to oversee Beiliang would definitely chill many people, after Pei Lingsu and the others discussed it for three whole days, they still did it in the name of Wukong...... , secretly gave this order to Li Ghost and others.
Of course, Wukong didn't know about this, and fortunately he didn't know, otherwise...... , he will definitely vomit blood.
On the sword platform, Li Shimin once asked Wukong what to do with Cheng Yaojin, but Wukong didn't pay attention to Li Shimin at that time.
Why didn't he say it, the reason was very simple, he was not afraid of Cheng Yaojin's rebellion at all, and he expected that Cheng Yaojin would definitely not rebel!
Wukong didn't expect that he would be kidnapped by Zhao Min at that time, so according to his original plan, as long as he gave Cheng Yaojin and Li Yuan an order to withdraw their troops, then, even if this matter was done, he was not prepared at all, and gave any more orders to Li Gui and others.
Although the Battle of Rabbit Rice and the Battle of the Western Xiongnu are inextricably linked, in the final analysis, these are two different battles separated by thousands of miles, so it is already okay to directly and forcefully stop the Battle of Rabbit Rice and let Cheng Yaojin be unlucky alone, there is no need at all, and then let Li Ghost and others also be unlucky.
Even if Cheng Yaojin really rebelled in anger, it would be too late to deploy troops to quell the rebellion.
Therefore, Wukong thought that there was no need to say this at all, and even before he and Zhao Min left, he expected that Shi Jiajing would definitely understand his mind, so he explained a bunch of things before leaving, but he didn't say it clearly, how to deal with Cheng Yaojin's problem.
So, when Shi Jiajing was placed under house arrest, out of prudence, Pei Lingsu and others discussed, discussed, and finally made a ...... , simply call off the conservative decision of the two battles.
One can imagine how angry they were when Li Ghost and the others received such an order, which did not explain the reason at all, and forcefully demanded that they immediately stop fighting and turn to fully monitor Beiliang.
However, after all, these people are all feudal officials, and in the face of their own lord's brain-cramping order, after they got together and discussed it, they made the decision to stop fighting on the surface, continue to harass the Western Xiongnu secretly, and keep an eye on Cheng Yaojin.
Therefore, although the intensity of harassing the Western Xiongnu has weakened, the rhythm of the entire campaign has not been disrupted, and it has not been greatly affected on the whole.
Li Ghost and others have many soldiers, generals, and partners, and they are all very old, and they have the courage to secretly disobey orders, but for Cheng Yaojin, who is almost alone, the situation is completely different.
After Cheng Yaojin received the armistice order, he was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot, by the way, the imperial court also asked him to cede half of the Northern Liang and give it to the weak chicken and rabbit rice empire.
For these two orders, Cheng Yaojin couldn't accept them no matter what.
Therefore, without eating, drinking, or speaking, he sat motionless in the tent alone, and after thinking about it for a whole day and a night, Cheng Yaojin directly led hundreds of guards and quietly ran to Chang'an City again.
Of course, he did not immediately order the withdrawal of troops, but explained that he would wait for him to come back, and left the barracks in a hurry.
Cheng Yaojin came to Li Tang this time to let Bingyuanzhen, an ally, go to the court with him and ask Wukong to retract his stupid decision.
After all, this matter is too cowardly, if Cheng Yaojin can't win, then forget it, the current situation is obviously a good thing, at most after another month, the rabbit mushroom rice will definitely collapse, in this kind of imminent victory, not only took the initiative to retreat, but also gave half of Beiliang to the enemy, what is this a ...... What a low IQ decision?
Therefore, when Bing Yuanzhu knew Cheng Yaojin's intention, he immediately hit it off, and without hesitation, he and Cheng Yaojin sent five concerts to Shengtiancheng in a row.
It's a pity that the two of them waited and waited and waited for ten days in a row, but they didn't receive the slightest reply from their master.
Just when Cheng Yaojin was about to despair and wanted to resign, Bing Yuanzhi finally received a great piece of good news, that is, their brain cramp lord was about to leave Chang'an City.
So, Cheng Yaojin's heart finally had a little hope again, and he was anxious, and waited in Chang'an for two days.
Except for Bing Yuanzhi and Yao Junsu, no one else knew that Cheng Yaojin, the commander of Northern Liang, had secretly skipped work and ran to Chang'an, so when Xie Xiaoyu and the others came to Chang'an, he had been hiding in Bing Yuanzhi's house and did not go out.
When Bing Yuanzhi returned to the mansion with an angry face and told Cheng Yaojin all the news that Wukong had been kidnapped, he was directly stunned on the spot, and kept urging Bing Yuanzhi to act quickly, and he must get this matter done within ten days.
Neither he nor Bing Yuanzhi expected that in less than a day, they would find the mastermind Zhao Min and be sure that Wukong should be in Chang'an.
So, the next morning, when Cheng Yaojin came to urge Bing Yuanzhi again, he saw a braggart chick who had nothing to do with him, and heard a ...... , super good news.
