Merry Xianggong Ximen Qing

The following days seemed to be much calmer, but it was only on the surface.

Niu Wenzhong personally garrisoned the capital of Gaizhou, while Paiwei General An Shirong and Biaowei General Chu Heng each led [-] soldiers and horses to attack Qinshui and Yangcheng counties separately.

On the second day of August, Yangcheng fell.

On the fifth day of August, Qinshui fell.

All this information was handed over to Ximen Qingshu's case through spies, and was also sent to Bianliang, Tokyo at the same time.

Prior to this, Ximenqing's detailed report had been written in cipher text, and was sent to the Imperial City Division by Team A on the 26th.

This step was much faster than Gao Lian's.

Gao Qiu didn't come to his senses until he fled back to Hui County, Weizhou. After pondering for a long time, he wrote the paper and sent it to the Privy Council urgently.

At this time, Officer Qian Goudang had already read the report sent by Ximen Qing, and at the same time ordered to send a copy to King Jia.

King Jia Zhao Kai didn't stop for a moment after seeing this report, and went directly to the Imperial City Department to find money for business discussions. Wu Song also attended the meeting as an acting business officer.

Jiawang Zhao Kai couldn't believe the news of Gao Qiu's defeat, but he couldn't help but believe it because it was clearly written in the report.

"One hundred thousand elite soldiers! One hundred thousand elite soldiers! How could they be defeated in one night?" Zhao Kai's complexion was a little pale, and his hands were a little white due to the tight grip. In the end, he almost shouted: "There are still twenty thousand imperial troops. , are they all idiots!"

"My lord, calm down." Qian Gui was not overly surprised: "The Ximen operatives are still working hard in Lingchuan County, and the conscript army has not completely failed."

King Jia Zhao Kai sighed: "I'm afraid Father will be even more disappointed when he gets this news. After all, the relationship between Gao Taiwei and him..."

Qian Gui has nothing to say about this.

Almost everyone in the world knows the relationship between Gao Qiu and the current officials. This time, Gao Qiu was appointed as the marshal of the conquest army, which also added some military merits to him. Unexpectedly, he was defeated by one blow before he really stepped into Tian Hu's territory. .

Although Niu Wenzhong attacked and robbed the camp at night, as the coach, he has a lot of responsibility.

"My lord, I'm sorry to be blunt." Wu Song interrupted suddenly: "Gao Taiwei pushed out my eldest brother. If he hadn't acted accordingly and won Lingchuan County, the whole of Gaizhou would have fallen into Niu Wenzhong's hands. Now eldest brother is in Lingchuan The county is isolated and helpless, the most important thing is for the court to send reinforcements as soon as possible."

Ever since Ximen Qing was appointed as the commander, Jia Wang Zhao Kai has always been very satisfied. Gao Qi was defeated, and only the Supervising Army from Huangcheng Division was left to persist in Lingchuan County. This was a matter of honor to Jia Wang Zhao Kai.

Wu Song didn't say anything, Jiawang Zhao Kai was also considering this matter.

"No problem, I will go to the forbidden area now and submit this report to my father." King Jia Zhao Kai stood up, and he also understood the reason why he must move faster than Gao Li: "This king must try his best to let father The emperor will send reinforcements as soon as possible!"

...

...

When the Privy Council received Gao Qiu's handwritten letter, it caused an uproar.

No one thought that Gao Li led an army of [-], and he was not even a fiasco, but a big defeat.

Although there were a lot of evasions written in the handwriting, which almost described Niu Wenzhong's army as three-headed and six-armed, the officials of the Privy Council were not fools, and they could see through the strangeness at a glance.

Eight soldiers and horses died tragically.

Flying Tiger General Bi Sheng died in battle.

The one hundred thousand army has now become eight hundred.

Throwing away those gorgeous words, this is the cruel truth.

Not to mention that the entire territory of Gaizhou is corrupt and will soon fall into the hands of Tian Hu!

Although it was written in the excerpt that the Ximen Supervising Army led the army to station in Lingchuan County to monitor the enemy's movements, these officials of the Privy Council scoffed at this.

Stationed and stationed, how many days can you hold on?

No one is optimistic about Ximen Qing.

After the discussion, the excerpt was not sent to the official, but presented to Liang Shicheng.

Because there was a note attached to Gao Qiu's booklet, on which the words "Eunuch Liang" were written.

Liang Shicheng was neither excited nor disappointed after reading the excerpts, but only ordered: "Come to hear the news the day after tomorrow."

...

...

Liang Shicheng pressed the booklet for two days before putting it on the case of Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji frowned and hurriedly read it, then tossed it aside: "What do you think?"

Liang Shicheng began to criticize Gao Qiu's crimes, except that he didn't have dirty words in his mouth, he was almost as good as Gao Qiu's scolding.

This attitude was beyond Zhao Ji's expectation, because he knew that Liang Shicheng had always had a good relationship with Gao Qiu.

But the more Liang Shicheng complained, the worse it sounded, and he began to complain about Gao Lian's previous bad things.

This made Zhao Ji a little hard to listen to, because he already knew about these bad things about Gao Qi.

As Liang Shicheng continued to speak eloquently, Zhao Ji's face became more and more ugly.

Soon, when Liang Shicheng was about to talk about Gao Qiu's birth, Zhao Ji waved his hand to stop him from continuing.

And Liang Shicheng also closed his mouth very wisely.

"In your opinion, how to deal with it?" Zhao Ji asked.

"How can a person like this without talent still be the commander in chief?" Liang Shicheng said with a look of righteous indignation, "Of course he is dismissed, investigate and deal with it!"

While talking, Liang Shicheng secretly watched Zhao Ji's reaction.

Zhao Ji stretched out his hand and squeezed the center of his brows, and began to close his eyes and meditate: "Tomorrow morning we will discuss this matter, you go down first."

Liang Shicheng retreated on his own.

Just as Liang Shicheng left, a person emerged from the screen behind the Emperor Daojun, it was King Jia Zhao Kai.

"Emperor, what do you think?" Zhao Ji asked without opening his eyes.

Zhao Kai didn't answer directly, but pondered for a while, then shook his sleeves and replied: "My son thinks that Eunuch Liang blamed Marshal Gao Dian, but he actually excused him. Instead, the more you can't make a choice?"

"You really think so?" Zhao Ji was a little surprised when he got this answer, and opened his eyes immediately: "The enemy army is powerful, and Gao Qiu was careless..."

Zhao Ji stopped in the middle of his speech, King Jia Zhao Kai did not speak, but bowed and waited quietly.

"Forget it, how to punish Gao Qiu is not the key now." Zhao Ji sighed: "How to destroy Tian Hu is the key."

"Father, I have a suggestion for this point." King Jia Zhao Kai continued, "Now the Ximen Supervising Army is still standing firm in Lingchuan County..."

...

...

When Liang Shicheng returned to the mansion, the officials of the Privy Council had been waiting for a long time.

"It's okay, you go back." Liang Shicheng took out a letter from his sleeve: "It's urgent at eight hundred miles, give this to Taiwei Gao, he will understand."

The visitor took the letter, did not dare to stay for a moment, and left.

On the second day, early morning.

After Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji asked the Privy Council to announce Gao Qi's defeat, all civil and military officials were in an uproar.

Whether it is already known or not known, there are always discussions.

"How could Captain Gao fail? Isn't there 10 people? It's too easy to fail!"

"Could it be that Niu Wenzhong has three heads and six arms? What about Gaizhou Mansion? Has it fallen into the hands of the enemy?"

"Going to crusade against Tian Hu, and lost another state? How to settle the score?"

"Don't talk nonsense, isn't the Ximen operative officer of the Imperial City Division still in Lingchuan County? Gaizhou hasn't fallen into Tian Hu's hands yet!"

"One hundred thousand troops are gone, how many days can a mere Lingchuan County stop the enemy cavalry?"

Although it is a taboo to make noise in the court, Zhao Ji did not speak, nor did he let the Huangmen officials maintain order, but waited quietly.

Discussions started quickly and disappeared quickly.

Because the civil and military officials soon realized that the person who should speak the most was silent on the dragon chair, and their eyes focused on the Taoist Emperor Zhao Ji again.

"It's all over?" Zhao Ji leaned on the dragon chair: "What's your plan?"

Suddenly, the hall became very quiet, so quiet that even an embroidery needle fell on the ground like thunder.

Suddenly a voice said: "Qizou Shengshang, I have a plan."

Everyone looked at it one after another, but it was Su Yuanjing, the Taiwei in front of the palace, who stepped forward to play, and was extremely surprised.

This Su Yuanjing is a loyal person, he doesn't talk much on weekdays, and the captain in front of the palace is just a vain job, but why dare to speak out at this critical moment?

"What good plan does the Qing family have? Come quickly!" Zhao Ji cheered up and sat up straight.

Su Yuanjing calmly said slowly, "Currently, Gaizhou is corrupt. Fortunately, there is an army stationed in Lingchuan County led by the Ximen Activist Officer of the Imperial City Division, so that the whole territory will not fall into Niu Wenzhong's hands. But the Ximen Activist Officer is isolated and helpless. It is the best policy to send one of the generals to lead the elite troops to rush to help."

"What the Qing family said is true." Emperor Daojun nodded slightly: "I wonder which Qing family is willing to lead the army?"

There was another silence.

Needless to say, the civil officials and the generals all lowered their heads, and no one dared to speak out.

It was Su Yuanjing who said: "The minister recommends one person who can be a general."

Zhao Ji said: "The Qing family only comes through pipes."

"Pudong inspects Guan Sheng."

As soon as Su Yuanjing's words came out, the generals couldn't bear it and started to talk gradually.

I thought Su Yuanjing would recommend some famous generals, but it turned out to be just a small inspection!

Is this a joke?

Amidst the discussion, Su Yuanjing was not in a hurry, and continued to play: "This person is the descendant of King Wu'an's lineage who was righteous and brave at the time of three points. Inspection job."

As soon as Su Yuanjing said this, those voices of discussion disappeared immediately.

After the saint!

Just what a golden signboard!

Zhao Ji rejoiced and said: "It turns out that after the Martial Saint, he is really worthy of great use! Hurry up and send someone to Pudong to invite him, and make him the Generalissimo of Conquest, and set off soon!"

"My lord! The customs inspection is already in Gaizhou! You can send someone to lead the army and deliver the seal of the marshal!" Su Yuanjing bowed and said: "It is not too late, we must immediately dispatch tens of thousands of elite soldiers to immediately help Lingchuan county!"

"Just what the Qing family said!" Zhao Ji immediately said, "The Privy Council, arrange it immediately!"

Next, before the officials of the Privy Council could react, the Huangmen official stood up and shouted: "Retire!"

By this time, the officials of the Privy Council hadn't come to their senses, what did Su Taiwei mean by "the customs inspection is already in Gaizhou"!

But people with discerning eyes have already seen that Su Yuanjing and the officials were in harmony, and the Privy Council was not given a chance to refute.

As for Gao Lian, he has been forgotten.
