Chapter 179 There is no retreat

Gu Laiqiu: After this battle, I'm afraid you will bid farewell to officialdom forever.

"You two generals, why are you still here?"

An attendant came out of the emperor's large tent, searched around, and finally saw Yijing, and hurriedly called Yijing and You Zhouxian to go.

"But what happened?"

"His Majesty is summoning the commanders of the various armies, and we are waiting for you!"

Yijing didn't dare to delay immediately, Ling Changming waited here for the time being, and went to meet the emperor with Youzhouxian.

However, the emperor in the big tent was furious at this time and reprimanded everyone.

"The general was in a coma, and the general died tragically. Are you worthless?! Seeing that the flag was set to win, you failed to protect the general. Instead, our army and Hu Mang suffered casualties, and the follow-up deployment would not be possible! If it were not for Youzhou Xian Respond in time and command An Wu's army to counterattack, don't you really make Hu Mang show off his prestige?!"

All the civil servants and generals bowed their heads in silence, not even daring to take a heavy breath, lest they accidentally disturb the mosquitoes coming from somewhere.In the present scene, it seemed that the emperor was the only one in the entire camp, furiously facing the wilderness and mountains.

Yijing looked up quietly, and suddenly found that the tiger amulet and general's seal were neatly placed on the emperor's desk???he immediately understood that Nanrong Juncong's life might be hanging by a thread.

The emperor scolded him a few more times, and his voice finally softened a little. No one knew whether he had scolded enough or was tired, but seeing that he finally picked up the bitter tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp. Secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"Is Yijing back?"

"Report to Your Majesty, my minister Yijing is here." Yijing immediately stepped out and agreed.

"Okay", the emperor looked at Yijing with satisfaction, and then said: "I will pass on my will. Sifu Luo Yijing, Su Wei Zhongzheng, Xuan Demingen, have outstanding meritorious service, and are more suitable for educating barbarians. I am very good! I am specially promoted as General Huaihua, commanding the Northwest Army and horses, and sending troops to conquer!"

Yijing raised his head in astonishment, but saw the emperor's meaningful smile. He didn't dare to refuse, but Xie En said: "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness. I will definitely live up to my trust!"

Xu Shi's news was unexpected and reasonable for everyone, so it wasn't until the attendants brought the tiger talisman and general seal in front of Yijing that there were only one or two whispers in the big tent.

"Your Majesty", Gan Yi was stunned for a moment, and then dissuaded: "Yijing has been in the army for many years, and there is no commander-in-chief at the moment, he is indeed a suitable candidate. Is it too early to promote him to the post of general? It is better to let him temporarily act as general..."

"Gan Yi", the emperor stopped him coldly, "As a prime minister, don't you know that you have no jokes?"

Gan Yi didn't dare to say much immediately.

The emperor gave him a blank look, and then ordered: "Youzhou Xian of the Anwuzhong Army will take over the post of Anwu Army Commander, and Ningwu Zhongjun Nanrong Xingcheng will take over the post of Ningwu Army Commander."

"Yes."

"Princess Qianze was originally the daughter of the royal family. In the past, she married far away to seek peace between the two countries. Now she died because of the treachery of the reckless country. It is also due to the community. Her clothes are buried in the imperial mausoleum to comfort her. Heroic spirit. Hua Cishu, the former commander of Anwu's army, unfortunately died in battle. I read that he had devoted himself for more than [-] years, and he was authorized to be buried outside the imperial mausoleum to wait for the dead emperor. "

"Your Majesty's grace, I'm so lucky."

After the emperor explained some matters, he waved his hand and reprimanded everyone.

However, the newly-promoted general still stood there watching, and did not leave the big tent with the crowd.

"Yijing, is there anything else?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have just considered the future deployment, and dare to ask Your Majesty to listen to my words."

"You say so."

"Unfortunately, the plan of the Marquis of the Army failed unfortunately. I am afraid that my internal response to the recklessness of the court will be noticed by others, and I have to withdraw to the Central Plains. Now that the generals are lost and the morale of the army is scattered, I am afraid it will be difficult to decide within a day or two. The winner will be determined. Therefore, I dare to ask the army to turn around, station in Sucheng, rectify the army and horses, and choose another day to fight again!"

The emperor didn't refute him without hesitation, but said: "I understand your plan, the deserted city is no longer suitable for defense because of the earthquake and government agencies, and the food and grass people have already moved to Sucheng, and now they have given up the deserted city It's not a big loss... But you should also understand that this is your new official appointment, and it's also my personal conquest, if you retreat a city, wouldn't it be ridiculed by the world?"

"Those who achieve great things don't conspire with others. The world just likes to point fingers. If we continue to stick to this place, I am afraid that morale will be low, and we will suffer another defeat and injure the soldiers. Isn't this just a vain name and a real disaster? Victory and defeat are commonplace. We lost to Huangcheng, but we can also win against Hu Mang in the end."

???How come you see????

"The victory or defeat of a war depends on the strength of the country. Hu Mang has experienced civil strife for several years, and some of them were injured by our court. As long as the time is prolonged, Hu Mang will definitely run out of food. Why worry about our army's invincibility?"

The emperor sighed for a long time, and after being silent for a while, he said to Yijing: "I entrust the power of the three armies to you, because I trust you to respect you. How to deploy and march, you just have to show your talents."

"I thank your Majesty Long En!"

Gu Laiqiu saw Xing Sheng entered the general's camp, and wanted to chase after him, but he was also worried that the defense here was tight. If he was careless, he would have to be seen by others, so he waited for a long time before the guards changed and relaxed. After a while, he immediately entered the general's tent.

At that time, the sun was setting in the Xixia Gorge, leaving only a piece of golden afterglow covering the sky and covering the earth.

And Xing Sheng was sitting quietly on the edge of the bed in that dim tent, watching over the unconscious Nan Rong Juncong.

Even before lighting the lamp, Gu Laiqiu was able to see Xing Cheng's confused eyes clearly with his extraordinary eyesight - his little apprentice should be in deep thought at this moment.

"Ah Ping..." He lightened his steps.Slowly approach Xing Sheng.

Xing Sheng didn't answer, as if he hadn't heard his call, and fell into a haze.

"Ah Ping..." He called Xing Sheng again.

Xing Cheng's eyes moved, and finally he looked back, and fell on him, and said in a low and hoarse voice and a flat tone: "It's you who came..."

Gu Laiqiu inexplicably felt that his heart was being grabbed by someone, so he quickly walked two steps to Xing Sheng's side, hugged his shoulders, and persuaded: "Jun Cong is fine, I will try to save him again."

"You're right... the commander is also right..." Xing Cheng didn't answer him, but looked at Nan Rong Juncong's pale face and whispered, "I'm too attached to hatred, I killed innocent people People... there is no reward for good and evil, after all, I am reaping the consequences of my own evil."

"Stop talking! Ah Ping..."

But Xing Sheng continued to say: "I killed the commander of the army, I killed Wang Xi, I killed Chang Ming, as well as my children, father, brother... I am a mortal body, if I died 15 years ago , where did it come from now..."

"A Ping! Fu Yuanping!" Gu Laiqiu shouted to stop him in a low voice impatiently, "Stop talking, I will definitely save him..."

"Whose name are you calling?" Nan Rong Xingcheng's eyes were filled with water vapor, but he smiled wryly, "Fu Yuanping died a long time ago, and the one who survived is Nan Rong Xingcheng."

"It's my teacher's mistake," Gu Laiqiu hurriedly explained, "I shouldn't have said that to you, I didn't take you into account, I let Gan Yi escape from the dungeon, that's why..." His voice gradually weakened , "That's what got Jun Cong involved."

"I don't blame you, the person who is too obsessed is obviously me", Xing Cheng said, leaning on the edge of the bed, stood up unsteadily, and was about to stagger out.

"Where are you going?"

Xing Cheng didn't answer, but asked instead: "You can save him, right?"

"Yes, I will definitely save him."

"Then you will guard him for me."

Gu Laiqiu immediately sensed something was wrong, and quickly dragged Xing Cheng back.

At this time, Yijing took Chang Ming and opened the tent, and at a glance, the two master and apprentice were chatting.

"What are you doing!" Chang Ming glanced at Nanrong Juncong, and asked in a low voice: "There are so many eyes and ears here, aren't you afraid of being seen by others?"

"It's just in time." Xing Cheng shook off Gu Laiqiu, "Commander, send me to the emperor, no one will be involved in disasters because of Fu Yuanping..."

"You!" Chang Ming's eyes widened when he heard these words, holding Tian Tian Feishuang in his hand, he was about to go forward and clean up Nanrong Xingcheng.

However, Yijing reached out and stopped him.

"General Commander, I would have known that you were overly mourning because of the day-to-day fatigue and the matter of the military commander, and you were talking nonsense. You should also take a good rest while rectifying the three armies."

Both Gu Laiqiu and Xing Cheng were stunned.

"what are you saying?"

"You have been promoted to be the third-rank general, lead the Ningwu army, and be called the commander of the army. And Fu Yuanping... is a person who has long since died, so the army commander should not mention him. So what?"

"How is this possible?" Xing Sheng stepped forward and asked, "Even if the father is unconscious, you should act as the general, and I act as the army commander. Why is there such a sudden promotion?"

Yijing just sighed softly: "At present, the morale of the army is not stable, and His Majesty is bound to defeat Hu Mang in one fell swoop...There is no time for the acting general to win people's hearts."

Xing Sheng thought about the events after the battle: "But you..."

"You and I are powerless to change these things..." Yijing rubbed his shoulders, "After I leave, if you want, you can stay as the commander of the Ningwu Army, if you don't want to, you can just resign and go back to seclusion. "

Chang Ming listened quietly at the side without interrupting.

But Gu Laiqiu also understood: "The emperor didn't want you to sit in this position, so he allowed you to rise to the top. After this battle, you are afraid that you will bid farewell to the officialdom forever."

"This is also a very good ending," Yijing said with a relieved smile, "I have already written to Mrs. Gu and told her to prepare for everything."

"Then what should we do now?" Xing Sheng asked.

"Leave your father in the care of your master. You still need to return to the Ningwu Army to preside over the retreat of the army."

"retreat?"

"Go to Sucheng."

"If we think about it, we may not be able to defend the deserted city."

"Kan Yi is anxious to win, so I must at least find a safe place. Otherwise, when our swords are on the verge of breaking out, Reckless will take advantage of the situation and lose our troops."

"Now? Is it too early to inform Mr. Gu to do something like this?"

"This is the end of the matter, and it will be too late when our heads fall together. Gan Yi has his eyes on you, so he assassinated Lord Hou, leaving you without any support. If you are arrested, you will always be Gu Xiaowu. No one is spared, and the Gan family brothers also have a chance to make a comeback."

Xing Cheng turned his head, looked at Gu Laiqiu, and said softly: "I will take over all the affairs of the Ningwu Army, so you should be careful."

Gu Laiqiu patted the back of his hand and forced a smile: "Don't worry about your father, no one will let him die if I don't nod."

Yijing overheard this remark, and said in surprise: "You still know the art of Qi Huang?"

"It's okay to live a long time and know more."

"My second brother's eyes..."

Only then did Gu Laiqiu remember that Huajing had escaped from the dungeon, and his eyes might not be able to adapt to the sunlight on the ground.

"I'll go see him."

Yijing didn't say much anymore, and after saluting, he took Xingcheng and left.

set up:

1. A: Xingzhu, B: Hesheng, O: Jiangyuan;

2. Jiangyuan still has estrus, but there is no mark, so one Jiangyuan can have multiple Xingzhu (Xingzhu is attacking, Jiangyuan is receiving);

3. Social status: Jiangyuan>Hesheng>Xingzhu, in order to ensure the purity of the royal bloodline and avoid the occurrence of being a happy father, the emperor must have children by himself, so if there is Jiangyuan with strong fertility among the emperor's children, priority will be given Be established as the heir (the status of accepting is higher than attacking);

4. If the child born to the emperor is Jiang Yuan, the whole country celebrates it;

5. Weaken the difference between men and women, emphasizing offense and shou (attack: Junren, Shou: Qingzi, so the emperor's male favorite is also called Chongjun), and parents are only used to represent male and female gender (such as: father, father, etc.);

6. The emperor is a shou (self-proclaimed: Zhen), and the harem raises a gong (servant shou). Except for the king (self-proclaimed: solitary), other gongs have no difference in status;

7. Most of the characters in this article come from the "Yunjuan Mountains and Rivers" written by me before, but there will be differences in the characters, which can be regarded as the story of the next life of the protagonist group of "Yunjuan Mountains and Rivers";
