Chapter 33 Shanhaiguan

Zu Dashou was speaking at an important place, when he heard the commotion outside, he couldn't help being very angry, and asked loudly, "What's the noise?"

A personal guard quickly entered the hall, his face was a little panic, and he shouted loudly: "Marshal, it's someone from the imperial court who came to report from the city..."

When he heard that the imperial court had sent someone over so soon, Zu Dashou's face suddenly became happy, which meant that the imperial court was short of the Guan Ning army!He ordered without hesitation: "Don't worry, let him wait for a while!"

"This...isn't it good?" He Kegang immediately stood up and said, frowning.

The other generals had mixed expressions, but they didn't speak. They looked at the two most important men in Guan Ning's army, waiting for them to make a decision.

After hearing this, Zu Dashou frowned slightly, then looked at He Kegang and immediately said: "You listen to me, you must hold on tight at this time, let him air out, and let them be impatient, so when we meet again, I will wait for some It’s easy to listen to requests!”

Upon hearing this, most of the generals nodded their heads again and again, trying to persuade He Kegang one after another.

"Master He, just listen to the commander-in-chief in this matter, it will never be wrong!"

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief is right, listen to Commander-in-Chief! Those birds in the imperial court should let him hang out!"

"..."

Seeing that they all disagreed with his opinion, He Kegang doubted whether his insistence was right!
It wasn't until this time that the lobby became a little quieter.The personal guard blushed all the time, and had no chance to speak for several times. At this time, he seized the opportunity and hurriedly reported: "Marshal, the person who came to the court is Mr. Sun Ge, and he has already entered the city!"

As soon as his words fell, Zu Dashou immediately got excited, stood up from his seat, and confirmed repeatedly: "What did you say, Mr. Sun Ge, which Mr. Sun Ge?"

In fact, they all knew that besides Sun Chengzong, who else would there be!

Therefore, without waiting for the guard to answer, Zu Dashou said to the generals: "Look, the emperor must be in a hurry, and specially sent Mr. Sun Ge over here. You listen to my commander, you must be steady, understand? Agree to our request and forgive our sins, don't let go, understand?"

Before the generals could reply, they heard a loud old voice from outside: "What do you understand?"

As soon as they heard this familiar voice, Zu Dashou and others knew that Sun Ge was old.They were a little surprised that Mr. Sun Ge came so quickly, and hurriedly wanted to welcome him out, but at this time, Sun Chengzong had already strode in.

Zu Dashou took the lead, and all of them clasped their fists and knelt down on one knee, saying, "Greetings, Elder Ge!"

Sun Chengzong was sweating faintly, glanced at them, did not say a word, strode towards the seat in the hall, and then sternly reprimanded: "Look at what good things you have done, who gave you such courage, even Dare to escape back to Shanhaiguan without permission?"

If other envoys came over, they might not have the guts to reprimand the senior generals of the Guan Ning Army in the Guan Ning Army's nest.But Sun Chengzong didn't have this scruple, just like the elders were training the younger ones.

These generals are very honest, and no one dares to contradict them.When Zu Dashou turned around, he secretly winked at the others, and at the same time squeezed out a smile and said, "Ge Lao, why are you here?"

Sun Chengzong turned a blind eye to his hippie smiling face, he was still very serious, and seemed to be a little bit resentful and said: "If the old man doesn't come, I'm afraid you will do irreparable stupid things!"

Seeing that Sun Chengzong was not as tolerant as before, Zu Dashou felt a little uncertain, and quickly said: "How can it be, my Zu Dashou has a heart of loyalty to the emperor and the country, the elders of the pavilion don't know!"

"It's a shame that you still have the face to say that you are loyal to the emperor for the country. Is there a loyal emperor like you for the country?" Sun Chengzong retorted with a sullen face. Shanhaiguan is a serious crime, don't you understand?"

Listening to the conversation between the two of them, the other generals began to shake their minds that they had told themselves to stabilize.But now that the commander is blocking them, they can still persist.

Compared with them, Zu Dashou still had enough confidence.The reason for evacuating from the capital at the beginning was also because of hints from the big bosses in Beijing.Now that Mr. Sun Ge came so quickly, it shows that the capital needs its own Guanning army very much.With this reliance, what is there to be afraid of!
When he was about to say something, he saw Sun Chengzong took out a decree from his sleeve and said: "There is an edict!"

When Zu Dashou heard this, he was overjoyed. It was not a formal imperial decree. It seemed that the emperor was still afraid that if things got stalemate, it would be difficult to deal with it, so he was a little jealous of Guan Ningjun.This edict must be a good word to comfort myself, let myself lead the army to Qin Wang again.

Thinking of this, he and the other generals knelt down to listen again.

Sun Chengzong glanced at them and began to read.

These generals included Zu Dashou, it was fine if they didn't listen, but when they heard it, they were surprised and sweat broke out on their backs.

None of them expected that the emperor would give them a severe reprimand, and then recite the merits of the past. Yunzu's birthday was under the command of Sun Chengzong, and he had the opportunity to take the blame and make meritorious service.But if there is no success in taking the city and restoring the land in this battle, they will be punished for several crimes.

In this edict, the emperor did not have any scruples about Guan Ningjun, nor did he show any intention of asking Guan Ningjun to go back to serve as the king's escort.All of these were beyond their expectations.

After Sun Chengzong finished reading, he stared at Zu Dashou and asked, "Are you convicted?"

The old leader came, even if he wanted to think carefully, it was impossible.Zu Dashou didn't really want to do anything, so he quickly bowed his head and confessed.When the other generals saw this, they naturally also confessed their guilt.

Seeing him, Sun Chengzong breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately asked Zu Dashou and others to write a memorial to explain the whole story and plead guilty.

Zu Dashou knew that Sun Chengzong was doing it for their own good, so he naturally followed suit.After these things were over, Zu Dashou asked a little curiously: "If Guan Ning's army does not return to the capital, what will the emperor do?"

"You're only thinking about what the emperor should do now?" Sun Chengzong was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he took out another decree to show him.

I remember that this decree was Hu Guang's plan to fortify the wall and clear the country and show the enemy his weakness to let the Jianlu attack the capital. Seeing Zu Dashou's bull-eyed eyes widened, he seemed to be unable to believe the words he saw.

After a long time, he transferred the will to He Kegang who was beside him, and asked Sun Chengzong in disbelief: "Your Majesty...the Emperor really has such great courage? Someone said it was just a sudden impulse?"

"Who said it?" Sun Chengzong asked with a bit of hatred, "This is a plan set by the emperor himself!"

"Ah..." Zu Dashou was suddenly speechless. Such an emperor was completely different from what he had imagined, as if he had completely changed himself!If you recognize this kind of emperor from the beginning, then no matter how careful you are, you will do those things even if you are encouraged by others!
