Chapter 921
In the past, she was just a humble singer in Chang'an City. She was first in Yang Su's mansion, and later resold to Yuwen Shu's mansion. To be more detailed, before Yang Su's mansion, she was actually a singer in the Xie family of Jiankang. But she was too young at that time, and she was only trained in the Xie family and had never served anyone.
She once thought that her life would always be a singer. But she never thought that after seeing her, her heart would be beating wildly. The deep look that made her seduce her to run out in the middle of the night.
The surging waves of the Yellow River are rushing under your feet. Through the horses, you can still see the turbid river water under the gap between the bridge boards of the magical iron chain suspension bridge that was built in less than one night.
When was the last time she left Guanlong? Five years ago or six years ago? At that time, she was just a singer who ran away with anxiety, and was still worried about being discovered by the people from Yuwen's mansion. A few years later, when she returned to Guanlong, she was already wearing armor and riding a tall and fiery war horse. Behind her, there were a total of five thousand female military camps that belonged directly to her.
I had the last time I led troops to Jiangdong. This time when she heard that the emperor was going to lead troops to reinforce Guanlong, she immediately asked to meet the emperor. She originally thought that the emperor who had always been fascinated by her might not agree, but she didn't expect that, he just looked at her with a smile and said, "You want to go, there is no problem."
However, she seemed to have misunderstood his gaze at that time. She originally thought that this time she would have the chance to go to the battlefield. The last time she rushed to Jiangdong, although he also asked her to take the female barracks she trained to go south. But in the end, the momentum was very strong, but the battle had never been decent. As soon as Chen Jun crossed the river, the battle had basically ended. She was wearing that gorgeous armor, but she had never even touched an enemy's face directly.
This time, she made up her mind to seize the opportunity to go to the battlefield and compete one or two in person. Along the way, she even refused the carriage he arranged for her, but instead rode the war horses and stayed with the female barracks in her armor.
However, the emperor did not seem to plan to do what she wanted. On the first night of the army leaving Luoyang, the emperor sent someone to tell her about her. Then, amid the emperor's lewd laughter, she could not go back all night. She didn't even sleep all night. She didn't know when he had a ghost idea in his mind. He actually claimed that she was more beautiful in armor, and even took out a set of gorgeous leather armor made of white rhinoceros leather.
The whole pair of leather armor was dyed with bright purple and red colors. What made her even more shy was that although the armor was gorgeous and precious, it was hollowed up and down, especially on the chest and thighs, which were completely hollowed out. Under the exquisite hollow pattern, the emperor did not allow her to wear a battle robe, and the underwear and strapless inside was completely revealed.
The shy she was, the more excited the emperor was. Then there was a battle of three hundred rounds. The battle was till dawn.
They set out from Luoyang, with a total of 50,000 soldiers, including 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry. They almost brought out all the last few soldiers in Luoyang. Originally, Zhai Wushuang wanted to come, but before leaving, he was diagnosed as pregnant by the imperial doctor. The other concubine, Li Xiuning, was diagnosed as pregnant when Jiangdong came back. Two women who liked to lead soldiers like her were pregnant, and she was the only one who could accompany him.
The army walked very quickly and the march along the way was very secretive. In just three days, the army had already gone from Luoyang to Hedong, and then passed through Mengmen and crossed the Yellow River flying across the Changqiao.
For three nights, the emperor had no intention of letting her go. The first night was the hollow armor, but the next night, he changed into a tulle to let her sing and dance. On the third night, he even pulled her to bathe directly in the Yellow River. She was so shocked that she kept squatting in the river and did not dare to get up.
When she thought of the ridiculous actions that had happened in the past few nights, her face turned red and hot.
This is a wonderful feeling, although it is too ridiculous to remind herself in her heart. But the more this is, the more ridiculous and shy this feeling stimulates her. It makes her feel that she seems to be tempted, and then she can't stop and get addicted to it.
This morning, when the army was about to set off, the emperor suddenly rode his horse to her camp. Before she could react, the emperor rushed up like a wolf, stripped her clothes naked, and then he became lustful in the small tent. Finally, he was even caught by the female deputy general who came to urge her to set off. When she thought about it, she felt like she wanted to jump directly into the Yellow River. Now, the female soldiers behind him didn't know how to talk about her behind her back.
Zhang Chuchen bit his lips angrily, looked at the yellow dragon flag in front of him, and made a secret decision that no matter what, he would never let the emperor tempt tonight and would accompany him in all kinds of ridiculous things.
She was doing this kind of random thoughts along the way, and even the army unknowingly entered Yanfu City, which had entered the other strait without realizing it.
After entering Yanfu City, the army did not continue to advance, but immediately entered the city and stopped. The emperor immediately sent someone to tell him to see him. When Zhang Chuchen wore armor and swords into the general's mansion, which the emperor temporarily moved into, was preparing to say no, he looked up and found that she was not the only one who came. All the officers above the army had arrived.
The young emperor looked serious at this moment, without the absurd shadows in the past few days.
"Everyone, I want to tell you something!"
The generals here couldn't help but feel nervous when they heard this. The emperor's expression was so serious. Could it be that the Western Expedition Army had been defeated? Was it because Xiao Guan was taken away, or was Chen Ke's enemy defeated by Xue Ju, or was it because Marshal Chen Shuming and Chen Jie-shangguo were defeated by Yuwen Chengdu, and there was no waiting for reinforcements to arrive?
"What happened to the Western Expedition Army?"
"No." Chen Kefu shook his head. "It was not the Western Expedition Army that happened, but Xue Ju."
Chen Kefu said calmly: "I just received the urgent report from Xiao Guan. Chen Kedi raided Lingwu, and had already taken down Lingwu County and captured Xue Ju alive. In addition, Chen Kedi used Xue Ju's seal to transfer Xue Renyue to Wuyuan to Wuyuan, and then ambushed and surrounded Xue Renyue with Hu Hai at the Tangkou. Xue Renyue fled back to Wuyuan. However, Wuyuan was already captured by Huang Junhan using Xue Ju's seal talisman. Xue Renyue was lured into the city by Huang Junhan and was defeated and captured."
The emperor said so calmly, but the generals present all beat up.
Zhang Chuchen suddenly grabbed his finger and asked in surprise: "General Chen defeated Xue Ju, Xue Renyue and his son, and had already captured the city of Hetao Lingwu and Wuyuan County?"
"Yes, that's it."
"But wasn't Chen Kedi's report said before? Xue Ju's 50,000 troops and horses were hoarding Lingwu, and Xue Renyue's 30,000 troops were stationed in Wuyuan? The Xue Ju and his son had 80,000 troops in total. It seemed that there were only 15,000 generals from Xiaoguan to lead troops to fight? In a short period of time, why not only defeated the Qin army, but also captured Xue Ju and his son alive and captured the two counties?"
"Chen Kedi is a natural general. I knew he would not act recklessly." Chen Kefu stroked his fingers across the hilt of the sword. "This time, although Chen Kedi used his troops to take risks, his approach was not wrong. Faced with the situation in Guanlong, he did not have a negative choice to sit and wait for help, but chose to take the initiative to turn the crisis into a turning point. This is a positive approach, and he has the style of a famous general. This time, I will reward him heavily."
Yang Rengong, the Duke of Guan County who was just accused of becoming the emperor's father-in-law, had been promoted to Duke of Guan, which was considered to have restored the title of Guan. This time, he also went to the army to fight. He was the deputy commander of the reinforcements. Wang Rengong was the royal family of the Sui Dynasty. He led troops abroad for many years and held official positions in the local area. He still had a deep impression of Xue Ju, especially Xue Ju, who was always rebellious but extremely brave and cruel, and even more so than Xinyi's son Xue Rengao.
"Although Xue Ju and Xue Renyue were defeated and captured, Xue Rengao was still there. Chang Zhongxing of Yulin still had 20,000 troops in his hands, and Xue Rengao led a 50,000 army in Shuofang. Once Xue Rengao got the news, according to his personality, I am afraid he would not give up."
"Xue Rengao really won't give up!" Chen Kefu said: "Xue Ju was captured, and Xue Rengao, the prince of Qin, could be justified in the promotion of Emperor Qin. And in fact, Xue Rengao did not mean to surrender. He had led 40,000 troops from Shuofang and had already captured Rulin City, the northern gate of Diaoyin last night."
Yang Rengong's expression changed slightly. He was also a veteran on the battlefield. At that time, the Sui Dynasty fought many border battles. He participated in several battles to Liao. During the third battle to Liao, Yang Xuangan rebelled and attacked the Eastern Capital. At that time, Yang Guang sent three generals, Yuwen Shu, Yang Rengong and Qu Tutong, to return to the Central Plains to suppress Yang Xuangan's rebels. Yang Xuangan's brothers were finally forced to the death by them and committed suicide.
Yang Rengong, who has rich experience in the battle formation, heard a hint of doubt from the emperor's words, "Jin Kedi General Feiying's message has just arrived, how could Gong Rengao get the news earlier than us?"
Chen Kefu smiled mysteriously: "No, Xue Rengao doesn't know the news about Lingwu and Wuyuan yet. Even Yuwen Chengdu, Changwu's Yuwen, has not received this news yet. We are the third one to know the news after Chen Kedi and Marshal Chen Shuming."
"Is it a coincidence?" Yang Rengong looked at Xue Rengao's attack a little suddenly. If it were Xue Rengao, it would never be possible to attack the Rulin at this time. The best choice for the Qin army was to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, and wait until Chen and Xu army both suffered losses before jumping out. This is the most appropriate thing.
Looking at the generals' confusing expressions, Chen Kefu smiled slightly: "Xue Rengao suddenly attacked Rulin because this is my wish!"
Li Junxian, who was originally stationed in Yanfu City, suddenly looked moved and hesitated: "Yesterday, General Douluda from Shangxian suddenly sent Zhao Pochen to lead 100 light cavalry to Ding'an to deliver a letter, and he also asked him to walk the ancient Great Wall path on the border with Shuofang. Could it be?"
"Yes, this order was sent by me by Feiying to give Dou Luda. Zhao Pochen was also assigned by me by name, and even the route was arranged by me. In addition, Zhao Pochen and his 100 light cavalry were ambushed by Xue Rengao at the Shuofang border at dusk yesterday, including Zhao Pochen's entire army being wiped out, and the letter he carried was also obtained by Xue Rengao. The letter stated in the letter was that I would personally lead troops to Long for reinforcements, and the time would be crossed the river and into Long tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
Yang Rengong looked pale and couldn't help asking, "Why?"
There was still something behind it, but the meaning was already very obvious. If the emperor's purpose was to deliberately disclose the news to Xue Rengao, there were many ways. But if it was just to disclose the news, it would be necessary to kill a general and a hundred loyal soldiers innocently, which was not what the wise king did.
Chen Kefu smiled but did not answer directly.
Zhang Jin, the director of the Special Service Department on one side, had already stood up and looked directly at Yang Rengong. The evidence was cold: "Because Zhao Pochen is a spy!"
"Since he knows he is a spy, why not make the trial public?" Yang Rengong also had some knowledge of Zhao Pochen's identity. Zhao Pochen was originally a low-level officer of the Sui army. Later, in the chaotic times of the late Sui Dynasty, the Jiangnan clan rebelled, and Chen Pojun also joined the Jiangnan clan army. Later, Zhao Pojun, who had a grudge against Du Fuwei, crossed the river and joined Qu Tutong's command and became a Chen army officer. Later, in the confrontation with Southern Chen, Zhao Pochen had always performed outstandingly, made many military achievements, and gradually improved.
Later, Qu Tutong was admitted to the martial arts lecture hall, and after he came out, he made many contributions. Now he is a fourth-rank general of the Hu Ben Lang. Perhaps it was because of Zhao Pochen's status as a surrendered general that Yang Rengong felt the same kind. Seeing him die like this, he couldn't help but feel sad.
Zhang Jin and Yang Rengong looked at each other and said coldly: "Zhao Pochen is a secret spy from the Wu army, and has been hiding deeply for many years. He has secretly conveyed military information to the Wu army many times. The Investigation Department has long suspected him and has been collecting evidence. Now the evidence has been complete. This time, if he happened to use it, he will directly use Xue Rengao to remove it. Moreover, if he died at Xue Rengao, his Majesty can no longer hold his family accountable. On the surface, he died in battle for the country, and his family can still enjoy his glory."
"Where are the one hundred knights?"
"They are all the confidant guards who Zhao Pochen led from Jiangdong. Although they could not be all secret spies from the Wu army, some things are inevitable. General Yang, what do you think?" Zhang Jin asked.
Chen Kefu sighed: "The evidence for Zhao Po Chen's secret spy is sufficient. General Yang doesn't need to say much. I also think that he has made contributions to Da Chen, so he did not openly judge him and ruin him. The deceased has passed away, and he was killed in battle with glory. This is also the best ending for him and his family."
After a moment of silence, this matter was revealed. Yang Rengong asked: "Since your Majesty has such a arrangement, it is probably of profound meaning? But in this case, Xue Rengao rushed over quickly. Will Your Majesty want to fight him here?"
Chen Kefu shook his head: "No, the reason why I deliberately lure him south is mainly to avoid waiting for Xue Rengao to stay in Shuofang after receiving the news that Xue Ju was captured. At that time, he would definitely join forces with Chang Zhongxing, and it might even be urgent to join Yu Culture and or the Turks. Everything is possible. Xue Rengao is a tiger, so we have to guard against it. Now we lure him south in advance, and we will take the initiative in our hands. Now, please speak and discuss how we subdue this tiger. There is still one day left, so everyone will see you."...)
