Da Wei Chun

Chapter 551: Backfired
"Congratulations to the Queen Mother... Congratulations to Your Majesty..."

The courtiers only felt their hearts were surging and they were so excited that they wished to shout out with all their strength.The sound of congratulations was like a landslide and tsunami, even more like the roof of the temple was about to be overturned.

Where did the little emperor pass by, his little face was pale with fright, and he clung tightly to Gao Ying's side.

"Don't be surprised, Your Majesty, it's a happy event...a great happy event..."

Gao Ying comforted her in a low voice, but seemed to be in disbelief, and looked at the courtiers below: "Where did the good news come from, can it be written by Mr. Li himself?"

Liu Fang was stunned: Does the Queen Mother not believe that Li Chengzhi won?
After thinking about it for a while, he felt a little embarrassed again.

Not only the Queen Mother, even he was on duty in the front hall, when he suddenly heard the good news, it was like a dream.

Nearly a month ago, when it was suddenly heard that Fu Luo and Chang Yi led their troops into the pass and approached the pass, which courtier didn't change his face in shock as if struck by lightning?
In terms of military strength, Li Chengzhi is less than half of the enemy.In terms of experience, Chang Yizhi and Pei Sui are all famous generals in the world, and even Yuan Li, Yu Zhong and others are more than a step ahead of Li Chengzhi.The only thing Li Chengzhi can rely on is the "Heavenly Thunder" that has been rumored to be miraculous, but no one has seen its true face from the beginning to the end.

As for the undead, just as the secret report that "the sky thunder is made of wheat flour" came, the ministers were even more ashamed, and felt that a catastrophe was imminent.

Therefore, most of the courts thought that Li Chengzhi would definitely lose.The current plan is to increase troops to Guanzhong as soon as possible.

But the room leak happened to rain overnight, and Yuan Yi sent a messenger to send an urgent report, saying that the Rouran army had suddenly appeared in Monan, and nearly [-] troops were stationed in Daqi, ready to move.

Yuanyi is also known as: Woye Xinding, the guards of the other towns all want to plot against the law.If the six towns are in chaos again, everything will be shut down.Therefore, the imperial court is requested to send troops to rescue as soon as possible...

In contrast, there is Li Chengzhi's [-] troops in Guanzhong, which can last for a few days.The two powers harm each other whichever is the lesser, the court can only rush first and then slow down, and urgently ordered Gao Zhao to raise troops to help Beizhen.

As for Guanzhong... I can only hope that Li Chengzhi will be as stable as a rock, and the longer he guards, the better.When Xi Kangsheng and Gao Meng calm down Bugulu and Gaoping, or Gao Zhao retreats to Rouran, the danger in Guanzhong can be resolved.

But the happiness came too fast, only a few days after Gao Zhao sent troops, Li Chengzhi suddenly won?

God has eyes...

Just as he was overjoyed and engrossed in his thoughts, Cui Guang called softly: "Bowen... Bowen?"

Liu Fang snapped back to her senses.

Today is his palace appointment, and the good news is handled by him.Gao Ying was inquisitive, so naturally he played the right role.

"Empress Dowager Bing, the victory report is not written by Li Jungong, but it has the seal of 'Rebellious Marshal'. Moreover, Li Jungong has sent Zuo Sima Yang Jun as an envoy, and he will be able to return to Beijing in at most two days. And all kinds of things, so the good news will never be fake..."

Victory... really won?
Even though it was absolutely true, Gao Ying still felt like a dream.

Her phoenix eyes were slightly concentrated, and she skipped over the faces of Yuan Cheng, Yuan Ying, and Yuan Jia.

Didn't these three uncles say that Li Chengzhi had no chance of winning?

Furthermore, with such a great victory, all the officials were overjoyed and ecstatic, so why are these three dignified, more anxious?

A moment of doubt in his heart, but also dispelled by joy, Gao Ying suppressed his excitement, his eyes were shining brightly: "Since it is a great victory, I can't take it lightly. It will be decided by the assistants, Taichang and Guanglu two departments, how to welcome it. Make it known to the world..."

"Follow Your Highness's order!"

Everyone was still excited and in a trance, so no one realized that the Empress Dowager was already laying the groundwork for how the army of rebellion and the generals of the battalions would reward their achievements.

Of course, no one can obliterate Li Chengzhi's first achievement...

The more Gao Ying thought about it, the happier he became, and he shouted loudly, "Li Xian!"

"Chen is here!"

"Sizhou Mu, Henan County, Luoyang Ling and other divisions will make preparations immediately. For three consecutive days of Beijing-China celebrations, all households registered in Beijing will be rewarded..."

"promise!"

"Qin Song (new servant, Chang Qiuqing, Taifuqing)!"

"Chen is here!"

"Leave the Taifu to prepare a hundred bolts of silk, a hundred catties of gold, and a hundred thousand in money, and give them to the Li's House... and then call Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Zheng (Li Shao's wife) into the palace, saying that Gu will hold a banquet for the relatives of the generals in the palace tonight... ..."

"promise!"

Just like this, several directives were issued in a row, Gao Yingyi felt that the meaning was still unfinished.

But fortunately, she was not so happy that she was dizzy, she knew when to stop, and she knew that too much was too late.

He just wanted to move the entire palace to Li's residence, but he should wait for Li Chengzhi's class teacher to return to the court anyway.Otherwise, it would be to give someone a handle and give people the truth...

She resisted the impulse, and let out a sigh of relief: Forget it, instead of sitting in the palace and being flattered by the audience, it's better to go back to the palace and rejoice with San Niang.

Fortunately, Sanniang was still there, otherwise she would be so happy that she would go crazy, and she wouldn't know who to confide in?

Thinking about it this way, Gao Ying felt a little bit impatient: "Masters, there is still a performance, if you don't have it, why don't you leave?"

in such a hurry?
He only talked about how to celebrate his achievements and how to reward him, but he didn't mention anything related to military affairs?
Although the Empress Dowager doesn't know anything about military affairs, she should order all the assistants to discuss how to deal with the aftermath of Guanzhong and where should the army go?
I'm afraid I was overjoyed and forgot for a while?

Some courtiers were hesitant to remind the Queen Mother.Yuan Ying took the first step and came out to play and said: "The celebration, rewards, etc. are handled by the Secretary, and there is no need for the Queen Mother to bother... And there is another matter that the ministers need to report to the Queen Mother. But because it is quite trivial and takes a long time, it can be done." Please move the empress dowager, and wait for the ministers to discuss with the empress dowager slowly?"

Why is it so urgent that we can't wait until tomorrow?

Gao Ying was very reluctant, but he also knew the importance, so he could only respond: "Then let's go to Zhaoyang Palace, if you want to invite Liu Fu, all the ministers will do their own work..."

The ministers suddenly agreed and left the hall one after another.Gao Ying drove, Liu Fu waited for a while, and then followed.

Cui Guang and Liu Fang are not only ministers and ministers, but also servants of the left and right.Any orders from the empress dowager and the emperor must go through the hands of the two of them, so I have to explain to my subordinates, the other four assistants have already gone to Zhaoyang Palace.

The two went on foot, and when they left the hall, seeing no one around, Liu Fang said suspiciously: "Blessed by God, today's great victory is possible, and we are all overjoyed. Zhan, depressed?"

What else can I do, just because these bastards are superfluous, but they don't want to be self-defeating, which is counterproductive.

If it weren't for the old man's foresight to take a huge risk to report to Li Chengzhi and make him rein in the precipice, how could these few be depressed?
I'm afraid it's too late to cry...

Cui Guang pondered for a while, and replied in a low voice: "You are on duty in the palace today, so you only know that Li Chengzhi sent an urgent report from [-] miles away, but you don't know that Gao Zhao followed closely and also sent an urgent report..."

Gao Zhao also sent an urgent report?

"But the battle in Beizhen is unfavorable?"

Beizhen is a bird feather!
Cui Guang let out a "hum", as if it was squeezed out of his nostrils: "Fake!"

Liu Fang was at a loss: "Well... what is fake?"

"It's a lie that Rouran sent troops, it's a lie that Beizhen will be in chaos, and Gao Zhao led his troops to the north to help, it's a lie, it can't be more false..."

"How is it possible? You and Zhufu personally watched the tens of thousands of troops leave the capital. Where did they go?"

"Where can I go, of course it is Guanzhong!"

Liu Fang's beard trembled in shock: "How could I not know?"

"This matter was conspired by King Rencheng, King Zhongshan, and King Guangyang, and then made a plan with Gao Zhao, and finally reported it to the Empress Dowager in secret, and kept it from you, You Zhao and me from the beginning to the end, so where did you know about it?"

"Then how did you know?"

"A few traitors, just think that the old man doesn't understand military affairs, and thinks that he is perfect? ​​Although the old man has never led a soldier, let alone fought a war, he has read more books than these few thieves can read... Gao Immediately go to Beizhen, why did you conscript thousands of ships, could it be used as vehicles?"

Isn't it just a driver?
Liu Fang was completely puzzled: "Didn't Gao Zhao say that he could go up the river (Yellow River) and reach the six towns by transporting grain by boat?"

Cui Guang's nose was almost crooked in anger, and he almost blurted out the sentence "I read the book in the stomach of a dog": "There are countless natural moats in the big river. There are so many waterfalls, how can he make thousands of grain boats go upstream from Luoyang, is it possible that he can put wings on the boats?"

Liu Fang suddenly realized: the Yellow River is not a flat river, and there are many steep places.For example, Dizhu in Shanzhou (Sanmen Shaangu) and Mengmen Mountain in Fenzhou (Hukou Waterfall) are places where boats sail on dry land (the boats are carried to the shore, and then pulled to the gentle river section by humans and animals to launch).

However, if the army came out from Luoyang, if it was transported by the river, it would have to travel through dry land many times.When the ship arrives in Beizhen, the land transport may have gone back and forth twice...

With a thought, Liu Fang was shocked: "This boat is not sailing on the big river, but the Weishui?"

"That's it! So when I heard that Gao Zhao wanted to transport water, I knew that he wanted to follow Zhang He's strategy of surprise attacking Ma Di in the Three Kingdoms (Battle of Jieting): transport food by boat, and march along the river. Nearly two thousand miles, from Luoyang to Chencang..."

Can it be like this?

When first listening to it, Liu Fang didn't take it seriously.I thought to myself that such a strange plan can be called a stroke of genius, and I think Changyi's generation will definitely not expect it.

But after thinking about it for a while, his expression changed again in horror: Gao Zhao led the army to leave Beijing, it is only the sixth day, it should be halfway.And Li Chengzhi's victory was so unexpected that if he was surprised to hear that the imperial court had sent a large army to the pass secretly, nine out of ten he would mistakenly think that he was running towards him...

What would Li Chengzhi think if he changed places?
Even if they don't meet each other in battle, nine out of ten they will be greatly disappointed, disheartened, and then divorced from the imperial court...

Liu Fang was very annoyed: "Who contributed this strategy?"

"I don't know for now, but the left and right can't escape the hands of those three!"

Who else could it be?

Naturally, it was Yuan Cheng, Yuan Ying, and Yuan Jia.

"If the three kings conspired, it is understandable, but why did Gao Zhao do such a self-defeating act?"

"God knows?"

Cui Guang shook his head and sneered, "Xu is dedicated to serving the country, so he is ruthless and selfless, killing relatives with righteousness!"

Liu Fang seems to have heard the biggest joke in the world...
