Chapter 318 The Conspiracy Behind

Qinghe said with a smile: "Everything is up to Father's arrangement."

The emperor took out a pond newspaper from the case, "Look at it."

Qinghe hesitated for a moment, "Father, this is the pond newspaper."

"It's okay, just let you watch it." The emperor said lightly.

Qinghe had no choice but to take it, opened it and looked at it, his expression changed drastically, "The army was defeated? How could this happen?"

She quickly knelt down and said in fear: "Father, my son is guilty!"

The emperor smiled and said: "Get up, you are innocent, you still have merit."

Qinghe looked at him suspiciously, "Father, what is the explanation for this statement? It was my minister's idea to send Huainan King to help. I don't understand anything. I am guilty of making random ideas and leading to the defeat of the army!"

The emperor stood up, and actually stepped forward to pull her up, "This pond report is fake. In fact, the king of Huainan has driven Xianbei away, and now he is planning to follow up and pursue the victory."

Qinghe was overjoyed, "Really? We won the battle? That's great, we Daliang won't have to suffer from such uselessness in the future."

"Little Xianbei always violates the border and oppresses the people on our border. I have tolerated it for a long time, but these nomads are not easy to fight. This time I can quickly attack and beat them to death. I must take advantage of the victory to pursue."

Qinghe said with a smile: "Father is wise, God's will is good, my Daliang army will definitely be able to smash the Xianbei iron cavalry, and go straight to the capital of Xianbei."

The emperor said: "I want to hear your analysis, how high is our Daliang's chance of winning?"

Qinghe asked: "How did the emperor arrange it?"

"I ordered Yuan Su to lead 6 soldiers and horses to join Huainan King and the original guarding soldiers. It is calculated that there are about [-] soldiers, and they will chase after him."

Hearing that he sent Yuan Su, Qinghe couldn't help but frowned slightly, "Royal Father, if King Huainan sets off with the army, the chances of winning are very high, but if the troops are dispersed and General Qi and Yuan Su lead the two armies separately, the chances of winning are high." There's no chance."

The emperor laughed and said, "You don't know how powerful Yuan Su is. When Yuan Su went out to fight, he won more than twenty times in a single battle. Not to mention that he won every game, but if he could lead [-] troops Convergence, whether it is a dispersed operation or a confluence of main forces, the chances of winning are very high."

Qinghe said indifferently: "That's because, every time he wins a battle, Princess Qinghe is there."

The emperor was slightly startled, "What do you mean?"

"It's not that my minister doubts Yuan Su's combat ability. Yuan Su can be a vanguard, but he can't command soldiers as a general. Every time he wins a battle, it is because Princess Qinghe advises him and arranges troops."

"How do you know?" the emperor asked in surprise.

Qinghe said: "It was the minister who heard what Gao Lingfeng said."

"Why did Gao Lingfeng talk to you about these things for no reason?" The emperor was even more surprised.

Qinghe explained: "It's like this. I read a military book before, and I was a little puzzled, but there was no one in the palace to ask for advice, so I asked Mr. Gao, and Mr. Gao gave the example of General Yuan Su's battle. This point was mentioned in Erchen's explanation, in fact, many times, Yuan Su's combat strategy was at odds with Princess Qinghe's, but the facts have proved that Princess Qinghe's strategy is the best and the fastest to defeat the enemy."

Qinghe understood Yuan Su's weight in his heart. This battle was no small matter. Yuan Su led [-] troops. According to his previous strength, King Huainan would definitely arrange for him to attack Xianbei with him. As long as Yuan Su was in charge, something would happen.

It's not that Yuan Su has no fighting ability, but that Yuan Su doesn't know how to adapt to local conditions. There are many mountains in Xianbei, and Daliang's army is not good at fighting in mountainous areas. If they fight in the usual way, they will definitely be defeated.But Yuan Su is a man of death, he will definitely stick to his own strategy, and now that there are few capable generals in the court, few of the soldiers he brought out can give useful opinions.

Even if there are counselors, Yuan Su doesn't listen to other people's opinions easily. In the past, when she gave strategies, she had to spend a lot of words to persuade him.

If Yuan Su is defeated, he may be punished by the court, and if he is convicted of a mistake in leading the army, he will be executed. However, Qinghe cannot take the lives of so many soldiers to take revenge. , There are relatives and children behind them waiting for them to go back.

The death of a soldier will implicate a family behind him.

She knew it all too well, because for so many years, she stayed by Yuan Su's side as a servant, and she had more contact with those soldiers than Yuan Su.

She comes from a peaceful and prosperous age. If war can be avoided, it is ideal for her. However, Xianbei has indeed repeatedly invaded and harmed the people on the border in recent years. Many people were embezzled and robbed of their property, and innocent women were robbed by them. However, if Daliang does not act, Xianbei's ambitions will become stronger, and by then, more people will suffer.

Therefore, she is very supportive of this time's quick cutting of the mess, to deal with the brutal and vicious thief, only by retaliation can he be scared and retreat.

The emperor pondered for a while, and said: "What you said is just hearsay, and may not be taken seriously. Although Yuan Su is young, he can be regarded as a veteran in the court. Looking at the younger generation today, no one can match him." Get him.

Qinghe was secretly anxious, it seemed that the emperor had made up his mind, indeed, Yuan Su had made great military achievements in the past, but this was all false, she knew very well that Yuan Su had the ability to fight but not the ability to command.

It seemed that she had to write to King Huainan, telling him not to fight separately with Yuan Su, otherwise, the army would be defeated like a mountain. '

Qinghe changed the subject and said, "Father, since our army has won, where did this pond report come from?"

There was a cold light in the emperor's eyes, "I really have to investigate this matter carefully. Based on what you have seen, who wrote this Tang newspaper?"

Qinghe thought for a while, and said, "Father, do you still remember that when Beimo envoys came to Beijing, it was rumored that there were spies from Beimo sneaking into Beijing?"

"When you say that, I remember. You mean the spies from Beimo did it?" The emperor narrowed his eyes and asked sternly.

"My son is just making a bold assumption and carefully verifying it. My son wants to ask my father, what will my father do if Daliang is really defeated?"

The emperor said: "Naturally replace Huainan King, and then send troops to help."

"After replacing King Huainan, who will be the general?"

"Of course it's Qi..." The emperor was slightly taken aback when he said this, and his expression gradually turned serious.

If the King of Huainan was not the supervisor of the army, then General Qi was still a general without supervision, and even the reinforcements sent would also be under his command.

He immediately understood that the purpose of this Tang newspaper was to let him order Huainan King to retreat. When the time came, Huainan King returned to Huainan, and this record would belong to the Qi family.

Then, this incident may not have been done by the Beimo spies, it was most likely done by Qi Zhurong.
