Quick Wear Binding Rescue System
Chapter 58: Saving the General 9
At this time in the palace, Wei Yuanyao was holding Gao Huaiyu and holding a stack of emergency letters in his hands. Those emergency letters were the emergency letters sent from the border.
Gao Huaiyu casually took the emergency letters and threw them into the burning charcoal brazier. Just like that, those letters for help seemed to have never appeared.
Wei Yuanyao also said: "I'm afraid He Zhiqiu has run out of ammunition and food at this moment, and will soon die at the hands of the rebels. Your Majesty's wish is about to be fulfilled. How will Your Majesty reward me?"
Sure enough, not long after he finished speaking, one of their own private spies came to report: "The general and his group have been trapped in the valley for more than a month. All the rescue letters sent by the border have been deliberately intercepted by us, and not a single one has reached the capital."
Therefore, no one in the capital city knew how urgent the situation was at the border, and they were all still living a life of plenty.
Gao Huaiyu was extremely happy to hear such news. He would not let He Zhiqiu escape this disaster this time.
He said excitedly: "My wish is about to be fulfilled. I can give you whatever you want, Prime Minister."
Wei Yuanyao said, "Really? Your Majesty is really willing to give me everything."
Gao Huaiyu said happily: "Of course, the Prime Minister is of utmost importance to me, so I can afford whatever the Prime Minister wants."
He didn't see the coldness flash across Wei Yuanyao's eyes.
Wei Yuanyao quickly picked up Gao Huaiyu and walked to the emperor's bed. Several cries that sounded like pain or pleasure were heard from the bedroom, and the palace servants were all very far away from the main hall.
The palace and the capital were both filled with joy at this moment. The emperor and the prime minister were happy that their biggest worry was finally going to be resolved, while the people and ministers felt that it would be a piece of cake for the general to capture the rebel, and they didn't have to worry about their own safety at all.
At the border, everyone was very sad. They all felt that they would lose the city this time. Although they would not survive, they were still very distressed when they thought of the general who had been trapped in the valley for more than a month. They were all wondering what was going on with the court? Did they really want them to defend the border to death by not sending reinforcements or food supplies?
But in fact, He Zhiqiu was not as miserable as the enemy, the emperor, and his own soldiers guarding the city had guessed. After all, they had already made arrangements in this valley, just waiting for the enemy to take the bait.
They also had plenty of food and grass, and they were ready to deal a fatal blow to the enemy as soon as they attacked.
Sure enough, after more than ten days of waiting, the enemy felt that the time was finally enough and began to send a large force to the valley to besiege He Zhiqiu.
He Zhiqiu and his soldiers had been waiting for the other party for a long time.
When the enemy saw that He Zhiqiu's troops were several times larger than theirs, they immediately realized that they had been tricked. They thought that it might be a conspiracy between the enemy's emperor and generals.
But no one listened to his cursing at this time. He Zhiqiu led his soldiers to capture the enemy's leader and captured the city occupied by the enemy in one fell swoop.
Unfortunately, this time the other party may have felt that He Zhiqiu was no longer a threat, so they sent a small-time non-commissioned officer.
The other party did not know that the emperor was in collusion with their leader.
After defeating the enemy, He Zhiqiu led his army back to the garrison. Mu Ran watched the other party return triumphantly and went to greet them.
He Zhiqiu was very happy when he saw the people coming to welcome him.
At this moment, all the soldiers defending the city were very surprised to see the general returning victoriously. They thought that they would die in battle at the border and the general had already died in battle. But now the general actually led his men to defeat the enemy and returned victoriously. How could this not be surprising?
After the enemy generals learned that all the people they sent to attack He Zhiqiu were captured by He Zhiqiu, they thought that the emperor might be deceiving their leader and was not sincerely cooperating with them to capture He Zhiqiu.
When Wei Yuanyao and Gao Huaiyu, who were far away in the palace, learned the news that He Zhiqiu had defeated the enemy, He Zhiqiu had already led his own army to capture the enemy-occupied city closest to the border.
One can imagine the rebels' inner distress when they saw that the territory they had conquered with great difficulty was beaten back by He Zhiqiu.
They are now wondering in their hearts whether they have been fooled by the emperor of the enemy country, and that the other party is only pretending to cooperate with them but actually wants to destroy them.
The rebel leader was furious. He sent his envoy to the palace with the signed treaty to confront the emperor again. If the emperor could not let He Zhiqiu let them go, then they would fall out with him and let the emperor's people see what kind of person their emperor was.
Gao Huaiyu looked at the envoys who came to threaten him and thought, "You are useless people, yet you come to threaten me."
But he had to accept the threat from the other party.
Originally, He Zhiqiu planned to press on to seize the lost territory.
However, Gao Huaiyu urgently summoned him back to Beijing again, saying that he would hold a celebration banquet for him.
He Zhiqiu and Mu Ran certainly knew what the other party was up to, but they had no choice but to obey, otherwise they would be guilty of deceiving the emperor.
So they had to pack their bags and set out again on the journey back to Beijing. This time the journey was safe and there were no accidents until they returned to the city gate.
The emperor and the prime minister held a welcoming ceremony for them at the city gate. All the people in the capital cheered as they watched the victorious general return, "General, you are a hero."
When Gao Huaiyu heard the people's loud calls for He Zhiqiu, he felt a little unbearable in his heart.
He said, "General, you have made great contributions this time. The Prime Minister and I are here to welcome you back in triumph. I'm sure you are very tired from defeating the enemy. You should go to the General's Mansion to rest first. I will hold a celebration banquet for you in three days. You must bring all the meritorious people with you."
Hearing the emperor's words, He Zhiqiu was still a little confused about what the other party meant. But he still agreed: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I will be there in three days."
When Wei Yuanyao and Gao Huaiyu returned to the palace, Gao Huaiyu started to fight again and said, "This traitor is really useless. We passed all the information to him, but he still failed. He even blamed us for inaccurate information and threatened us to summon He Zhiqiu back."
Wei Yuanyao said, "This matter is indeed a little strange. I'm afraid someone has reported it. We should pay more attention to it."
The anger and gloom in the palace had nothing to do with the general's mansion.
After returning to the General's Mansion, He Zhiqiu said, "The emperor urgently summoned us back this time, I'm afraid the rebels are anxious.
I just don’t know what conspiracy the emperor has in mind, but I don’t think the emperor is a cause for concern, but there is something wrong with the prime minister.”
Seeing that the other party was actually able to doubt other people, Mu Ran began to look at him with a new respect. It was not easy for the other party to have a brain now.
