Bright Spring

"That's that, that's that." Zhu Gaoxu laughed, "But General Qiu is the most suitable one. As I said just now, this battle can kill|kill the enemy's commander. General Qiu has made great contributions. What's wrong with you holding it? ?”

"Then...it's not easy for me to refuse!" Qiu Futian said with a smile on his face.

"Haha..." Zhu Gaoxu laughed, "Take it, take it. General Qiu has always been a hero, why is he so shy!"

Zhu Gaoxu sat for a while, and when he got his point, he said goodbye and left the barracks.

……

That night, a general in the guard of the King of Yan got a jug of wine from somewhere, and he had nothing to do, so he called a few old brothers in the guard of the King of Yan to drink it together.

After drinking for three rounds, Zhang Wu talked about King Gaoyang's request for credit for him regardless of past suspicions, and he felt a lot, because King Yan said early this morning that he would be promoted to an official position.

When it comes to the King of Gaoyang County, everyone has to talk about the killing of Changxing Hou Geng Bingwen again. This matter is really exciting, and it should be the most worth talking about recently.

But Qiu Fu laughed and said, "King Gaoyang's commanding troops are good at fighting, and it's hard to say, but there are two aspects, no one can say good or bad: Bravery, and being a man! He is very good at being a man!"

Chapter 48 Spring Rolls

Like a sudden stop after a storm, a decisive battle involving 20 people broke out in Tianzhen Dingcheng the day before yesterday, and in the blink of an eye, the entire plain returned to silence.It's like two wild beasts, each silently licking their own wounds.

In the big tent of King Yan's army, all the civil and military personnel were silent for a long time, someone suggested to withdraw the troops, and several people immediately echoed.

At this moment, the King of Yan said: "I heard the plan from others yesterday. Wuding Marquis Guoying and the Xu family are related by marriage, and my princess is also from the Xu family, so they are still relatives. So I found someone and pretended to be with the official army." How about going to see Guo Ying and persuading him to surrender?"

After he finished speaking, he looked around and fixed his eyes on the face of the fortune teller Yuan Gong.

But Yuan Gong cupped his hands and said: "My lord and Marquis Wu Ding have only a little kinship relationship. How can there be any law? The people sent there simply don't know what to say! If the news leaks out, then the officers and soldiers of Zhending City will think that we are Showing weakness, begging for peace, and boosting the morale of others for no reason..."

King Yan was noncommittal after hearing this.

Yuan Gong hurriedly persuaded again: "My lord, who proposed this idea? That person is not as good as a three-year-old child! Whoever came up with such an idea, is he helping the lord or the army?"

Zhu Gaoxu was also standing below. Hearing this, his face became very ugly, and he thought to himself, "Is it him, you don't want to go with the surname Yuan, just say no?"What does it mean to say that I am not even as good as a three-year-old child...

This "ingenious plan" was indeed made by Zhu Gaoxu.

At this time, King Yan said: "I am unwilling to retreat like this. It doesn't matter whether it is useful or not, it's okay to try." After he said that, he turned to look at Wang Fu, the professor of the Wangfu.

Wang Fu lowered his head, was stunned for a long time, finally bowed and said: "The humble job is willing to go!"

"Okay!" King Yan patted his leg, and immediately made a decision.

Zhu Gaoxu felt that Yan Wang was still decisive, pretending to negotiate a peace, without spending money on Fei Mi, and at most killing an envoy, so why look forward to the future?

……

……

In the Imperial City of the capital, all the civil and military personnel stood in the main hall without saying a word.

Yan Ni rebelled in the north, and the imperial court dispatched 30 troops to suppress the rebellion with overwhelming speed and lightning speed. They thought they could solve the abscess in Peking in one fell swoop!I don't want to become like this, none of the ministers can speak, for a while, everyone seems to have a stomach full of splendid articles, but suddenly they are stuffed with a pile of yellow, black, yellow and black dirt, and they are all dumb.

General Zheng Yan, appointed by the emperor himself, the Holy Majesty personally pushed the cart to practice for him, holding the hub and pushing the wheel...Unexpectedly, Geng Bingwen was cut off on the spot just as he went up, before he even stepped on the ground! ?

An army of 30 was blocked in the city by tens of thousands of people, afraid to come out?

The people in the court couldn't even imagine what kind of bird's eggs this battle was fighting. The tens of 10 officers and soldiers were holding fire sticks, or a group of limp women and children!

At this moment, Zhu Yunxuan's voice said: "That Gaoyang King Zhu Gaoxu was not strictly guarded at the beginning, so he shouldn't have let him run away... I also thought of my clan relatives, so I didn't treat him harshly. I didn't expect him to be so fierce. Looking for an opportunity to escape."

A minister finally spoke up and said: "The Holy One is kind and generous, but unexpectedly the vassal king of Yandi is like a jackal. This is because you are not doing your best."

The emperor said so, Xu Huizu, who tried his best to stop Zhu Gaoxu at the beginning, looked sideways at this moment, and gave Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai a hard look.Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai didn't make any gestures, but their faces were already very ugly.

Zhu Yunwen said in a sad tone: "The Marquis of Changxing was loyal to his country, and if he died in battle, he must be buried honorably."

"The minister waits for you to comply with the order!" Some officials who are in charge of these things immediately came out to answer.

At this moment, Huang Zicheng came out and bowed: "The minister recommended Cao Guogong to take the post of Marquis Changxing to continue the unfinished business. Cao Guogong Li Jinglong was born in the family of the founding general. He is a talented general with both civil and military skills. He will surely put down Yanni!"

Qi Tai immediately said: "Your Majesty, although Marquis Changxing died, the truth can still be maintained. I think the general's matter is of great importance, so there is no need to rush."

In Qi Tai's eyes: Li Jinglong's leading troops is not reassuring and not safe enough.

He is a Minister of the Ministry of War, relying on the imperial examinations and his qualifications in the Ministry of War for many years. Although he is also a civil servant and has no experience in battle, he has more or less understanding of military affairs; otherwise, he would not be able to command the soldiers of the entire Ming Dynasty. I can't sit firmly in the position of Minister of the Ministry of War.

Therefore, Qi Tai firmly believes that his judgment in the selection of generals is more reliable than Huang Zicheng who has been in Taichang Temple and Imperial Academy for a long time.

At this time, Zhu Yunqi's voice said: "We will discuss later."

The eunuch Wu Zhong said in a sharp voice: "If there is something to do, let's play, and if there is nothing to do, leave the court!"

All the officials saluted one after another and shouted: "The minister waits to thank the emperor for his kindness!"

Everyone walked out of the imperial gate one after another, Qi Tai remembered that Huang Zicheng had recommended Li Jinglong before...it seemed that he was determined to use this person!Thinking of this, Qi Tai felt more and more serious about the situation.

I can't let go of my worries anymore!

At noon, Qi Tai went to the Yamen of Taichang Temple to look for Huang Zicheng.The government offices are required to provide lunch, and officials do not have to go home for lunch at noon.When Qi Tai saw Huang Zicheng, he said, "In the alley over Donghuamen, there is a new restaurant opened. Last time I went to eat there. The spring rolls were pretty good. I didn't have enough last time!"

"Qi Butang has a good nose, and he can smell the incense in the alley." Huang Zicheng said.

Qi Taiqiang said with a smile: "Lunch in the government office is only for filling your stomach. How about we go eat spring rolls? I treat you!"

Qi Tai's will was very strong, and he immediately said without hesitation: "The spring rolls at that store are really delicious. The dough is thin and sweet, and there are sesame seeds on it. The dough is wrapped with delicious dishes. It is a combination of meat and vegetables. You can eat it every bite. Chewing it, the taste is different, the layers are rich, and the mouth is delicious!"

"Ha! If Qi Butang continues, my mouth will water!" Huang Zicheng said, "Let's go."

The two sat in the carriage and went straight to the restaurant Qi Tai mentioned with their entourage.

The shopkeeper looked at their official uniforms, with an enthusiastic attitude, nodded and bowed to lead them to the best private seat.The shopkeeper asked what wine he wanted, Qi Tai said that he had to work in the afternoon and only had tea and spring rolls.

After they ate for a while, Qi Tai mentioned the candidate for the general in the temple this morning.Huang Zicheng was not surprised, at this time Qi Tai still thought about inviting him to dinner, he must have something to say!

Sure enough, Qi Tai said: "Duke Cao, Li Jinglong, I have asked people to look for him. I think it is too risky to use him as General Pingyan. This man has never led troops to fight. He only read some military books, and suddenly he personally In actual combat, how can it be done?"

Huang Zicheng shook his head and said, "A tiger father has no dogs. I have personally made friends with Cao Guogong. I don't just rely on hearsay to jump to conclusions. During our discussion, I think Li Jinglong has a lot of insight into the overall situation of the battle. What he said, I believe I remember the deepest: Leading troops to hundreds of thousands, personal bravery and formation are useless, the most important thing is the overall situation! Charge into the formation, march and set up the formation, if you want the commander in chief of the Chinese army to do it himself, you have to do so What will Dubu general do?"

"No, no!" Qi Tai was already very unfriendly when he heard the words "hearsay" and other words in Huang Zicheng's mouth, and he became a little angry, "Li Jinglong is a man who is headstrong and thinks he is proficient in everything! Even if it is something that has no experience, Never listen to other people's advice, just think about what you think!"

The more Qi Tai said, the more determined his attitude became, and his tone was not good. "He is usually sensual and flamboyant. He speaks loudly and soundly, and he blows the cowhide loudly; when he does practical things, he is a mess! He still thinks he is great, and he has nothing to do with it!" If you do it well, it’s because others are not doing things well, and you don’t think about what you mean, whether it’s practical or not..."

Huang Zicheng suddenly interrupted Qi Tai's speech, and asked, "Qi Butang, what's the matter between you and Cao Guogong?"

"Holiday?" Qi Tai was stunned for a moment.

Huang Zicheng said seriously: "Otherwise, why did Qi Butang scold him like this? Cao Guogong has no experience? Last time he led troops to Kaifeng in the name of preparing for the frontier, and suddenly attacked and took down the illegal king of Zhou. Not smart enough?"
