Chang Anqing

Chapter 258
"What? They won?"

In the general's camp, Guo Zhao, who had been sitting on the couch, stood up in disbelief. Looking at the soldiers rushing back to report, Guo Zhao suddenly clenched his fists with gloomy eyes, and there was an uncontrollable indifference in the corners of his eyes and brows. And ruthless, the anxious and anticipating waiting inside instantly turned into anger and unwillingness.

They actually won—

Three thousand Xuanjia troops fought against one hundred thousand Turkic cavalry, and they also won!
"Captain, Li Shen and Li Wei are on their way back with the Xuanjia Army. If they know that we are deliberately not going to rescue them, once the Taiwei and the world know about it, I'm afraid—"

The confidant general standing below finally raised his head in fear at this time, and couldn't help but reminded viciously: "It's better to make them unable to come back and bring this secret underground—"

Hearing the voice getting lower and lower, Guo Zhao immediately shot it with cold eyes, and it was simple to say.

"Missing a single hit, is it not self-inflicted to strike again?"

Guo Zhao looked at the idiot in front of him with frowning eyebrows, and warned impatiently: "After going through this fierce battle now, do you think Li Shen and the others will be as stupid as you, unprepared, waiting for you to kill?"

"At the moment they're sitting and waiting for you to throw yourself into a trap—"

After all, Guo Zhao looked at the man fiercely and reprimanded: "If the person who controls you dares to act rashly and disturb my overall situation, you will go to me and take the blame!"

After saying that, Guo Zhao was furious and shouted angrily, "Get out!"

When the person in front of him rolled out tremblingly, Guo Zhao sat there alone, his hands on the table clenched tightly, wishing to smash everything in front of him immediately!

The two Xuanjia troops sent back by Li Shen to report the news were sent to the west by his personal guards who pretended to be Turkic soldiers. It is death in battle, but also resignation to fate, what has it to do with him?

It is only to blame that they fought blindly and exposed their whereabouts. No one could suspect him and find any evidence against him.

So what if he wins the Xuanjia Army?

With trembling hands, Guo Zhao's eyes were filled with undisguised murderous intent and coldness.

It's just an early death and a late death.

Now Shi Liang is keeping a close eye on Zhao Yi in Lanzhou City. Zhao Yi’s personal guard Xuanjia Army is now either isolated in Lanzhou City to go to the sick hall, or they are placed under his command and controlled by him, such as Li Shen, For example, Li Wei, such as the dead thousand-odd Xuanjia army.

He wants them to die in the third watch, so they don't want to live past the fifth watch.

At this moment, Zhao Yi had already been stripped of the halo of the God of War, and turned into a cripple who was infected with the plague and could not protect himself. Even if he was alive, he was just waiting to be questioned.

What's more, no one knows better than him that Chang'an City, which has been quiet for so many years and has been pulled by the balance of forces for so many years, is about to tear off the top layer of whitewashed peace and start a new era.

One day in the middle of the cave is a thousand years in the world.

At that time, Zhao Yi will no longer be his opponent, but will become a fish on his chopping board, allowing him to slaughter!

No one can count on him, not even Zhao Yi.

……

In just a few days, this epic battle between Li Shen and Li Wei was spread all over the Zhou Dynasty.

But just around the time of the Great Zhou Dynasty, when the officials and the common people hadn't come out of this victory, another unexpected battle report once again lit a critical beacon for Chang'an.

The city gates of Huizhou in Hedong were opened because of the sudden surrender of the governor of Huizhou, so the Turkic soldiers drove straight down. There is still Ningzhou and Pingzhou between Chang'an and Turkic. Once these two cities fall, the Turkic soldiers will step on Ping the territory, and the soldiers came to Chang'an.

As soon as this newspaper came out, the ruling and opposition parties were suddenly in turmoil.

In order to boost the morale of the army and reverse the situation, Yang Chongyuan immediately ordered the troops from Jiankang to rush to Ningzhou and Pingzhou for support.

Therefore, the war is already related to the safety of the Chang'an capital. According to Shangguan Ji's letter, the emperor was supposed to visit the parade ground in the suburbs of Beijing to cheer up the soldiers. However, I don't know if he was frightened by the sudden war or tired. Emperor Yuan Cheng, who was immersed in the pain of his wife's separation, fell ill without warning. He was lingering in the sick bed for several days and did not get better. He was so anxious that the entire imperial medical office and monk pharmacy were in circles.Therefore, it is no surprise that the military parade fell on the Taiwei Yang Chongyuan who held military power. Under the emperor's instruction, Yang Chongyuan will soon replace him with the military order to inspire the three armies.

The daylight was just right outside, and Yang Chongyuan, who was dressed in a purple round collar official uniform, was holding the prepared memorabilia, and was talking about the military parade in the suburbs of Beijing three days later to Emperor Yuan Cheng who was on the sickbed.

"The military situation is urgent, such an arrangement, I don't know how His Majesty thinks—"

After all, he should sit on the rose chair with a soft pillow in front of the couch. Yang Chongyuan, with a calm face, closed the memorial and handed it to Chengde with one hand. Seeing this, Chengde had long been accustomed to it. He stepped forward to take it respectfully, and was about to hand it to Emperor Yuan Cheng who was on the couch, but Emperor Yuan Cheng waved his hand and blocked it.

"The Taiwei is in charge of the soldiers and horses. I leave this matter to you. I am very relieved."

Hearing this, Yang Chongyuan glanced at the pale young emperor in front of him, who looked irreversible no matter how hard he tried, and said slowly: "The minister is in the position of Taiwei. However, it is the fault of the minister that His Majesty was burdened by the Turkic Rebellion and the Holy Body was injured."

"Taiwei's words are serious, how can I blame you—"

Before Yang Chongyuan's so-called "pleading guilty" was finished, Emperor Yuan Cheng shook his head tiredly, and said with emptiness: "The Taiwei is the humerus of our country and the pillar of the court. What's the crime? It's because my body is decaying these days , instead of pushing all the affairs to the Taiwei alone, it can be said that it is not hard—”

After all, Emperor Yuan Cheng looked at Yang Chongyuan with difficulty, and said with some entrustment: "The Taiwei should also take good care of himself."

Looking at the emperor who looked like the sun was setting on the west mountain, Yang Chongyuan rarely loosened his brows, and said in a low voice with concern: "Your Majesty is the lord of ten thousand chariots, and he should protect the body of the dragon for all people in the world."

After finishing speaking, Yang Chongyuan got up and said: "The minister will leave without disturbing His Majesty's rest."

Seeing that it was difficult for Emperor Yuan Cheng to even nod his head, Yang Chongyuan silently withdrew his gaze, and when he turned around, there was no trace of emotion in his eyes.

There is no such thing as the so-called "heart-to-heart" by the monarch and his ministers just now.

And just as he stepped out of the dormitory, he heard Emperor Yuan Cheng's voice behind him with a splitting headache, causing Cheng De, who was serving beside him, to call out repeatedly: "Send the imperial physician, quickly pass on the imperial physician."

Seeing the palace people in front of the palace suddenly bursting into flames, busy coming and going, everyone looking anxious, Yang Chongyuan was extraordinarily leisurely, appearing unusually abrupt and ruthless.
