Da Wei Chun

Chapter 670 Don't Dare To Bet ([-])
Yuan Yao has always been calm, although he is worried, but his face is as calm as water.

"The enemy's army is probably less than [-], so there is no need to panic. Jing'an (Yuan Heng's word) orders everywhere: prepare more rockets, strong crossbows, large shields, and firefighting objects. Just guard the city. ..."

Yuan Heng suddenly agreed and went to deliver the order.Yuan Yao bowed to Xi Kangsheng again: "Inviting the county magistrate to come here is a plan to counter the enemy. But I don't want to force the thieves to come, but I want the magistrate to stay for a few more days to help me..."

It has been more than half a year since Gaozhao was pacified, and most of the surrendered troops have been summoned to Woye and returned to Yuanyao's command.Now there are only refugees left, they can be separated and resettled.Fortunately, Gao Zhao had sufficient preparations, and there was still a lot of food and grass left, which could last for a period of time.

And the method of resettlement has long been determined, just follow the cat and draw the tiger.And with Yuan Shun, Yuan Zhao and other Zong clans as assistants, why does Xi Kang need to do everything by himself and watch over these trivial matters?

What he should worry about is whether the surplus grain in Liuzhen, Beidi and other states can last until the autumn harvest.If it is not enough, will the refugees rise up again.

But now the court is unsustainable, and it is useless for Xi Kang to worry.It is even more likely that in a month or two, it is not certain whether the surname of these six towns and Beidi will still be Yuan.

Therefore, we can only do our best and obey the destiny. Whether Xi Kangsheng returns to Wuchuan and other towns will not help.

Yuan Yao left him here, but it was better than nothing, at least Xi Kangsheng knew Xihai and Li Chengzhi deeply, far better than him...

Xi Kangsheng hurriedly returned the gift, "The commander in chief is serious, but there is an order, and Xi will not dare to disobey!"

"it is good!"

Yuan Yao nodded his head heavily, "It's already night, and the enemy army is still more than a hundred miles away, so we will definitely not knock on the pass tonight, anyway, it will be around noon tomorrow. The county magistrate might as well rest earlier, It’s also good to raise your spirits!”

Xi Kangsheng is as good as others: "It should be like this!"

The two bid farewell to each other and left the customs office.As soon as Xi Kangsheng arrived at his residence, he was suddenly blessed: Li's Tangqi is unparalleled in the world, even the Huqi scouts can't do anything about it, but within five miles of the formation, most likely he will go there and never return.

When it comes to riding skills, compared with Rouran and Tuyuhun, they are far behind in riding.So how did Yuan Heng's subordinates find out so clearly that they even counted the number of troops?

Could it be that Xihai showed the enemy's weakness and wanted to lure the enemy to go deeper?
But if you think about it, it doesn't seem like it.

Even Rouran's nearly 20 troops were defeated in Daqi. No matter how arrogant Yuan Yao was, he would not dare to lick his beard, and he would definitely be more careful.

Thinking about it this way, Xihai seems to be a plan to attack the west, secretly crossing the Chen Cang, and the one that wants to go south is the main force?
Surprised in his heart, Xi Kangsheng stopped, intending to find Yuanyao to discuss.But when he turned around, he stopped suddenly.

Even if I guessed it right, so what?
Is it possible that Yuan Yao can still divide his troops to help Yuan Cheng? If Xihai will follow his plan and counterattack Gaoque and Woye, wouldn't he be shooting himself in the foot?
At that time, Yuan Cheng might not be able to laugh: Xi Shangshu is a famous general in vain, but he is afraid of Li Chengzhi like a tiger, so the six gods have no master, and there is chaos in every inch, so as to make a big mistake...

Forget it, does Yuan Cheng die or not?

Thinking of this, Xi Kangsheng snorted coldly, turned around and entered the bedroom again.

But he didn't know that Yuan Cheng had also received the letter and left quietly, returning to Luoyang...

In this battle, the imperial court was completely defeated, and the army collapsed like a mountain.It was Yuan Cheng who was terrified to death, and wondered whether Gao Ying would cut him into pieces in order to relieve the hatred in his heart.But after thinking about it, he returned to Beijing.

What if I don't come back?

If it were someone else, it would be a big deal to grit their teeth, abandon the Beijing Zhongjia, and vote for Li Chengzhi regardless, and still survive.

Just like a Yuan bird of prey!

But he, Yuan Cheng, has long been regarded by Li Chengzhi as the enemy of the ninth generation, so if he surrenders, what good will he end up with?

If it was really possible to save his life, Gao Zhao would have done it long ago, so how could it be his turn?

Therefore, it is not a gamble that the left and right are just one death: now that the court is in crisis, as long as Fan Gaoying still has a semblance of reason, even for the purpose of calming people's hearts, he will never do anything to him.

It was only because of this big defeat that it was not his Yuan Cheng's fault at all.But Gao Ying hated him for gnashing his teeth, but he was ashamed to reveal the reason: After all, Yuan Ying initiated the murder of Li Chengzhi, Gao Ying agreed, and instructed Gao Zhaoyu to cooperate secretly.

No matter what, this main crime cannot be settled on my own head...

Therefore, on the night when he learned that Xihai had increased troops to Longxi, Yuan Cheng set off immediately, traveling as fast as [-] li, and galloped day and night without stopping.

In just one day and one night, Yuan Cheng arrived in the capital.Everyone seemed to be torn apart, more like a serious illness. When they got off their horses, they couldn't even walk, and they were carried into the palace.

Today is not the morning and the sun, each minister belongs to each department, and each manages its own accumulation.In addition to Shang Shuling, Cheng and other servants, there are other auxiliary ministers on duty in Shiqian hall.

It happened to be Taiwei Yuanquan.

Hearing the urgent report from the city gate, saying that King Ren Cheng traveled thousands of miles in one day, and when he got off his horse, he was already very angry, Yuan Quan just sneered.

If Yuan Cheng hadn't played it, he would have dared to cut off his head and kick it as a ball...

Since one month ago, the Duanzhong rang once every three days, to once a day, and even several times a day.What was sent to Beijing was full of bad news.I don't know whether Gao Ying was afraid or impatient, but he ordered that no matter what the news was, he must not ring the bell again.

But ordinary people don't know it, but the assistant ministers are still clear about it.Knowing that Murong Xiao and Cui Yanbo were defeated, Rou Ran also returned in defeat.Now only Cui Yanbo led the 20 remnants and Yuan Yao led the [-] new troops to support Longxi and Woye.

There are petitions for help every day, and petitions for food are reported three times a day.It is nothing more than that the enemy has arrived and the food supply has run out. If the imperial court does not lend a helping hand, I am afraid that even the big river will not be able to hold it.

But it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and now the court is also at the end of its rope, and has no good strategy.

As long as she goes to court, the queen mother will either scold or cry, doing Chen Yuanying, Gao Zhao and Yuan Cheng's crimes of harming the country.Day after day, after listening to it for a long time, it is inevitable that it will be a little annoying.

But at least I know that the current disaster of destroying the country is all due to these three people's jealousy of the virtuous and persecuting loyal ministers.

Therefore, even though they belonged to the same clan, Yuan Quan really didn't have a good impression of Yuan Cheng.It is even more annoying to see him pretending now.

However, they are all people who have cultivated to perfection, even if they don't like it, it won't show on their faces.Yuan Quan pretended to care a few words, and ordered Huangmen to help Yuan Chengyu wait in the side hall, saying that he wanted to personally present the empress dowager.

When Qin Song was informed in Zhaoyang Hall, Gao Ying let him in.Go in and look, the queen mother and the emperor are sitting upright in the hall, and Liu Fang and You Zhao are below them.

After the two filed their cases, they sat upright.The case is complete with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and even wet ink can be seen, but there is no half writing on the paper.

This is clearly because before he entered the palace, Liu Fang and Cui Guang were still writing hard.Hearing that he was asking for an interview, he hastily put away the paperwork.

Although I don't know what these two people wrote, but it must be the intention of the Empress Dowager, and now that he is so jealous of himself, Yuan Quan has already guessed seven or eight points.

It's all to blame Yuan Ying and Yuan Cheng, the queen mother who killed her is now tabooing the clan like a scourge.

Of course, it is also due to the fact that the Empress Dowager has lived in the deep palace for a long time, so she has little knowledge, is cowardly and incompetent.Always follow what others say, but there is no decision.

First of all, he has a lot of trust in foreign relatives, and he favors Gao Zhao and Li Chengzhi.After the two led the army outside, they favored and trusted the clan and listened to false beliefs.Gao Zhao rebelled, and after Li Chengzhi fled, he was worried about gains and losses. He thought that the clan was wronging the country, and he reused Hanchen again?

The so-called ups and downs, capricious, nothing more.

If you pull up the tree to find the root, and pursue it immediately, at least [-]% of the empress dowager's fault...

Thinking to himself, Yuan Quanlang said in a voice: "Empress Dowager Bing, Prince Ren Cheng has arrived in Miyagi, claiming that there is an urgent performance to be presented to His Highness..."

Rushing...was Yuan Cheng sending it in person?

Gao Ying was startled, her body trembled uncontrollably.But just counting breaths, she turned her expression as usual, and asked in a cold voice: "But where did you lose again? Forget it, let's announce it first..."

The so-called dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, even if it is bad news, it will become numb after hearing too much.

Some palace servants went to announce, Qin Song just moved away, and heard Gao Ying say: "By the way, Gao Zhao also announced..."

Qin Song took the order to leave, and Gao Ying ordered the servants to bring some tables, soft blankets, and low stools, and gave Yuan Quan to sit at the bottom of the steps.

Not long after, Yuan Cheng was carried into the main hall.

After a closer look, it was indeed as Yuan Quan said: his face was haggard and sallow, as if he had suffered a serious illness.

Gao Ying showed no pity, and a look of disgust flashed across his face.

Yuan Cheng knelt on the couch, forced himself to pay respects, and bowed to Gao Ying: "I have seen... seen... Queen Mother... seen... Your Majesty..."

The voice was so low that even Yuan Quan who was nearby couldn't hear clearly, and at most he would be panting like a cow after speaking two or three words.His throat seemed to be blowing a windbag, it was hoarse and extremely harsh.

"Is it true that you are as angry as a spring?"

Gao Ying held back a sneer, her face was gloomy, "If it's hard to continue, don't force yourself, it's better to go back to the mansion to seek medical treatment...or take advantage of this time, so that you can accompany the princess..."

Yuan Cheng's heart trembled, and an indescribable sense of fear swept over his body.

Even if the empress dowager hated him to the bone, he also came to Beijing to play urgently, so that he would not be driven back to the mansion without even listening to the military situation.

What's more, what is the meaning of the phrase "Take advantage of this leisure time to accompany the concubine for a good life", is it possible that she wants to imprison herself in the mansion?

Yuan Cheng was so terrified that he almost couldn't pretend anymore: "My minister...isn't so...to the point...it's just traveling day and night, running for more than a thousand miles, making...displacement of the viscera...that's why it's so difficult ..."

"Oh I got it?"

Gao Ying said leisurely, "Gu thought you were not on holiday, and was about to inform Huizong's family and arrange funeral affairs with you..."

Yuan Cheng was even more terrified, and instantly broke out in cold sweat.Let him be quick-witted and glib in the past, but now he is as dumb as a wooden chicken, speechless.

Gao Ying was already hysterical to such an extent that she was too lazy to even half a cover-up?
In the next breath, will a warrior enter the palace and send him to prison?

Between surprise and doubt, Yuan Cheng was blessed to the heart, and suddenly had a glimmer of understanding: the matter has been up to now, and it is not an exaggeration to say that "there is a sign of annihilation of the country".Gao Ying would not admit that it was all because of her incompetence, she would definitely find a scapegoat.

And counting and counting, it seems that there is no one more suitable than him...

Yuan Cheng knew that he was bound to die, but it was only a matter of time, no matter how fast he was, there was nothing he could do, so he could only accept his fate.But the crime of "harming the country" is so serious, if it is true, how can the family members be clean?

In a hurry, he cried out, and actually shed tears: "The sinful minister... panic..."

"Even when the building is about to collapse and the country is about to be broken, you still don't see you coming to the capital to Bingzuo, why should you panic?"

Gao Ying sneered, "Tell me, where did you lose now?"

"Chen...Chen Bingzuo, Empress Dowager..."

Seeing the fierce light in Gao Ying's eyes, Yuan Cheng spoke sharply, "Ten days ago, the Xihai army forcibly crossed the river. I and Cui Xianzi fought repeatedly, but they were finally defeated. We can only obey the Raoyang County Lord ( Yuanyao) ordered to retreat to Longguan...

And three days ago, I suddenly got the news: another Xihai Jingqi came from the north, one of them entered Gaoqueguan via Dazhuo, and the other went down the south, and would arrive in Longxi in a few days... So far, to Hexi , Longxi, and Woye's enemy forces total nearly [-] people..."

"Boom!"

As soon as Gao Ying's face changed, he picked up the soup cup on the desk and smashed it down.However, the aim was too poor, the soup cup was still four or five feet away from Yuan Cheng, and finally fell into the hall and was smashed to pieces.

Goodbye Gao Ying, he fell backwards and almost fell over.

"The empress dowager please calm down...the empress dowager please calm down..."

In the past two months, Gao Ying would be like this from time to time, almost going crazy.Qin Song didn't tremble like he was frightened at first, and couldn't even stand still.Instead, he firmly supported Gao Ying who was about to faint, and called out urgently.

"Calm my anger... how do you let me calm my anger?"

Gao Ying roared angrily, and pointed at Liu Fang, "You told Gu Jian that you can rule across the river from Li Chengzhi... Now that even Longxi has fallen, and the enemy is about to enter the pass, where is the river? Could it be that Gu and him divide the Jinghe (South Yellow River) and rule?"

Liu Fang hesitated to speak, and finally sighed secretly, lowered her head: "This humble minister is guilty!"

Gao Ying was almost insane, without reason at all.At this time, apart from pleading guilty, it is useless to say more.

Yuan Quan's pupils shrank slightly, and he looked at the pen and paper on the case: the reason why he was behind his back was because he was discussing this matter?
Gao Ying really dare to think?

He thought that since Hexi had already fallen into the hands of Li Chengzhi, he would definitely not be able to take it back, so he might as well use it as a favor.If Li Chengzhi can be stabilized temporarily, the court can breathe a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, Guanzhong, Hedong can be used as the base, and the six towns and the north are gradually stabilized. If they can rest and recuperate for a few years, they might not be able to fight Li Chengzhi again.

But unfortunately, the Queen Mother took it for granted.

He has already been eaten by Li Chengzhi, so why do you need to reward him again?
And the strength of the West Sea is indeed a bit frightening: in just a few days, even the great river has fallen.Could it be that in less than half a month, we will hear the news that Li Chengzhi's troops have crossed Longshan Mountain and entered Guanzhong?
It is also unexpected that Liu Fang and You Zhao are both capable ministers in governing the world, so why would they come up with such a bad idea?
Looking at the embarrassing faces of the two, Yuan Quan has some doubts: Could it be that the queen mother's old tricks are repeated, as if forcing Yuan Cheng to borrow troops from the Hu clan? ?

The empress dowager's methods of defrauding courtiers and chilling people's hearts are really not ordinary clumsy...
