"You, aren't you taking advantage of others' danger?"
Wu FA wanted to cry without tears, and his relaxed and joyful heart suddenly fell to the bottom of the valley, but he still had to resist his impolite words.
Beili can't offend me. As long as it's not too much, I'll agree to everything.
This is what Ning Chengzhi said to him before he left Dongling. But now Beili wants half of Dongling. Is that too much?
He didn't know if it was too much for Ning Chengzhi, but he thought it was too much!
"Mr. Wu, that's not true."
Chen Jingxing, an old God, stood up with his hands in his hands. "Our Beili is a friend country of Dongling. It's naturally a friend country's duty to send Beili's son to recover Dongling's lost land. It's just that the mobilization of the army needs food and equipment, and it will inevitably lead to casualties. Lord Wu won't let Beili sacrifice human and financial resources for nothing, will he
Wu FA said hastily, "Your Majesty Dongling has long predicted this. As long as your country is willing to send troops to help, we will have to pay for food and grass -"
"ah."
Chen Jingxing waved his hand and pointed around, "is this your first visit to the capital? Although you have been ill for a few days, you should also see how rich and powerful Beili is. Besides, the rare medicine used by Lord Wu in his illness is very valuable. And the pillow you have is made of gold silk. "
Wu FA subconsciously drew back his hand and looked at the pillow with two points of respect.
Chen Jingxing was very satisfied with his cautious appearance, and his mouth slightly tilted, "so our majesty doesn't want Dongling's money, but only wants these ten cities as compensation for our Beili's loss of manpower and material resources. Oh, by the way - "
the radian of his smile widened further and further." I have come to inform your envoy today at the order of your majesty, instead of discussing with you. You just need to tell our Majesty's conditions to Emperor Ning and promise that everything will be easy to say. If you don't promise, when Yin Shuo becomes the emperor of Dongling, your majesty will send troops to revenge for emperor Ning. "
Wu FA was more and more surprised.
According to Chen Jingxing, once the imperial army of Dongling was defeated, when Yin Shuo occupied Beili of Dongling River, there would be sufficient reasons to launch a crusade.
No matter how strong the uprising soldiers are, I'm afraid they will not be able to stop the prosperity of Beili army. Won't they hand over all the territory of Dongling to others?
If we promise now, at least half of the country will be saved.
He was already loose in his heart, so he quickly got up and said, "OK, I'll go back and report it to your majesty."
Chen Jingxing was stunned to see him go out and ask the conductor to pack.
……
"Your Majesty didn't see Mr. Wu's face at that time. It seems that Mrs. Ning is right. The Dongling imperial court is at an imminent moment. The terms we put forward are nominally ten important towns, but in fact they cover half of Dongling's territory. I thought Lord Wu would at least bargain, but I didn't think he would dare to argue. "
Chen Jingxing went back to the palace to report to Yu Fu. Yu Fu was also quite surprised. He thought that this condition was too big and the other party would not agree. He didn't want Wu to be so happy.
If the pressure of the state was not too great to do anything, which minister would be willing to destroy half of the country?
Yu Fu said: "if you really want to send troops to Dongling, the city defense at the border needs to send another person to go there. By the way, how is general Ouyang's wound going? "
Chen Jingxing arched his hand and said, "general Ouyang is very old. This wound is no small matter. He is still lying in bed and has never got up."
Yu Fu nodded, "at that time, I'm afraid I'll have to let my second brother go..."
Wu FA left Beijing in a hurry. Now all they could do was wait for the response of Dongling Dynasty.
After a long time's criticism, Yu Fu got up from behind the imperial case and stretched out. He said to Yao LAN, "let's go to the East Palace and have a look at Yu Yang."
Although the Beili palace is magnificent, most of the palaces have not been repaired for a long time, except the east palace where Yufu lived after returning home and the central palace group mainly composed of the golden hall and the longevity Hall of the early Dynasty.
In particular, the back palace has been uninhabited, and Yu Fu ordered that it should not be repaired, so as not to waste money on useless things.
She simply arranged for Kun Yuyang and her two children to live in the East Palace, where Gu Shubai had lived before, and sent fine maids and nannies to serve them.
She was also worried that Kun Yuyang would be sad when he lost his husband. She would come to see him from time to time.
The imperial banishment falls in front of the East Palace, and the palace people bow to greet him. Yaolan holds Yufu's men in the sedan chair, only to feel that the weather is cold day by day.
She is used to the warmth of Dongling, and she is not used to it when she comes back to the north.
"Yuyang, they are from Qingche Jian. They must have brought no clothes. At this time of the year, remember to send them more winter clothes, especially not to freeze the children
As Yu Fu walked in, Yao Lan said with a smile, "I've already sent it to you. It's said that there's a heater in the hall of the two young masters. I'm afraid the children can't stand the cold."
The maid of honor came to meet her, "I have seen your majesty. Does your majesty come to see Mrs. Ning? I'm going to pass it on
"There's no need to communicate. I'll just go in."When she enters the main hall, Yao LAN unloads her golden brocade cloak and hangs it on the shelf. Yu Fu looks in the hall, but she doesn't see Kun Yuyang.
After a close look, I found that she was behind the book case in the inner room. I didn't know what she was reading. She was so absorbed that she didn't even find anyone.
"Yuyang."
Sure enough, Yu Fu called softly, and Kun Yu Yang raised his head in surprise.
She hastily stepped forward from behind the case, "Your Majesty."
"When there's no one, you'd better call the old name. So do the elder brother and the second brother. Just use the honorific name in front of outsiders."
Yu Fu smiles and claps her hand. Kun Yu Yang looks out of the hall and smiles, "OK."
Yu Fu regards her as the same person as Gu Shubai. She is not only an old friend, but also a close friend. Only in this way can she be called more like before.
In addition to her meticulous care of herself and her children these days, Kun Yuyang was deeply moved, "Yufu, do you know? Up to now, the most fortunate thing for me is that I met you at the spring banquet of Princess Danyang. Without you, my children and I would eventually die of war and the Revenge of Yin Shuo. I can't repay you for your kindness and friendship in my life
Yu Fu said quickly, "what do you do with all this? You and I were friends. At that time, you risked to come to us from the paddock alone and told us that Yin Shuo and the eldest prince conspired to kill the former Emperor. And uncle Ning Tang planned to save the general on the execution ground. Aren't these also the kindness of your husband and wife to us? It's not a day or two for us to help each other. It doesn't have to be so clear. "
Kun Yuyang's look eased a little. She was carefully kept in the palace these days. Her mental state seemed much better than that of the day she just entered the palace.
Yufu said: "yes, I have good news for you. The emissary named Wu FA has returned to Dongling with our terms. He did not bargain with Mr. Chen. He accepted all our terms. Fortunately, you have brought the news of Dongling Dynasty. Otherwise, how can we know which cities are still under the control of the imperial court and which cities have been occupied by the uprising? "
Kun Yu Yang said with a faint smile, "that's all I can do. Fortunately, Ning Xuan knows that I have a stuffy baby at home and that we women in Xikun like military affairs. So when he meets any new situation, he will write to me and tell me that he was just trying to relieve me, but he doesn't want to use it now. "
She suddenly thought of something, "Oh, by the way, you have a look at this!"
After that, he took Yufu's hand and went to the back of the case. Yufu had a close look. It was a strategic plan of Dongling. Green and red dots are used on the top to mark the situation of the uprising army and the imperial court army, and even the specific number of people is marked in small characters.
Yu Fu can't help but be surprised. She thought that Kun Yuyang was either taking care of her children in the East Palace, or she was hurt for Ning Xuan. She didn't want to do it.
"Yufu, have a look. This is the letter that I wrote to me through Ning Xuan, and some comments of the military general of the central court, which I summed up piecemeal. Maybe it can't be wrong, but this is the situation before I left Dongling, and now the situation may have changed. "
She held out her hand, pointed to the dense green spots, connected them into a line with her palm, and then quickly moved inch towards the capital Lin'an.
"If I have a good estimate of the progress of the rebels, now they are at least near this line."
The speed and accuracy of her hand's propulsion are overwhelming. Yu Fu can't help imagining the realistic picture, as if he saw the bloody battle between the two armies
She shook her head slightly and removed the pictures from her mind. "Although Yan Shuo was a literary minister, he was not good at leading soldiers, but he had a lot of eyes. Do you see that the rebel army attacked from the south to the north, but when it was close to Lin'an, it made a detour and continued to develop northward. "
Kunyuyang carefully looked at the picture she marked, Yufu said it was really good, in addition to the large green spots in the south, there are also a few scattered spots in the north.
These are the places between the ten important towns Beili wants, and they are spreading rapidly.
Kun Yuyang nodded, "the court speculated that Yin Shuo was trying to encircle Lin'an so as to catch a turtle in a jar. Lin'an is the capital of Dongling emperor. I dare not say it is as solid as gold, but the city defense is several times more strict than other cities. If Yin Shuo attacked Lin'an directly, it might not be possible, but if he took the encirclement attack and cut off the reinforcements and food, Lin'an would not be strong enough. Perhaps this is the reason why emperor Ning sent people to Beili for help in a hurry. "
"Surrounded?"
Yu Fu said with a faint smile, "I always feel that his hand is to prevent Beili from sending troops to help. He is so clever that he can naturally think that Ningdi would rather cede his territory than be killed by the rebels with nothing. "
Kun Yuyang suddenly realized, "it's true that you say so, but his army is all farmers forced by heavy taxes, and has no formal training. His weak combat power and poor command are all his weaknesses, but the number of people is his advantage. "
"Not bad. The poor fighting power but the large number of people, coupled with the morale of fighting up, are enough to make them all the way. It doesn't matter if the troops are sacrificed heavily. We can continue to recruit new soldiers along the way. "Yu Fu thought this way and suddenly laughed, "Dongling has a dense population, many fertile fields and many farmers. Yinshuo could absorb many people, but now it is different. A large number of refugees poured into Beili and Xikun, and the population of Dongling was gradually decreasing. If Yin Shuo wanted to win the final victory by the sea of people tactics, it would not be long. "
Kun Yuyang said: "but when I left Dongling, I heard that Yin Shuo's rebel army was controlling the people, and they were not allowed to flee to neighboring countries. On the contrary, the imperial court didn't do so. On the one hand, it was too busy to do so. On the other hand, it felt that it was good for the people to leave. At least it would not join the uprising army. "
Yu Fu thought for a moment, "he can't stop it. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. The people's will is the thing that can't be changed by power. He can stop it for a while, but not for a lifetime. "
……
News soon came from the Dongling dynasty that Ning Chengzhi had agreed to the terms of ten important towns.
Because Yan Shuo's rebel army had already hit Huzhou, breaking through this barrier, the imperial capital Lin'an was completely exposed.
However, according to the latest survey, one of the ten important towns has been captured by the rebel army, which is Linzhou.
It shouldn't be too late. Gu Jiuge immediately leads his army to the border to reinforce. On the night when Gu Jiuge's army arrives, Gu Shubai leads his army to move towards Dongling.
They race against the clock, hardly producing any gap.
Gu Jiuge is the general guarding the border, and the first destination of Gu Shubai's troops is Zhenjiang.
Zhenjiang, this is a city that has a good feeling for Beili.
The people almost welcome Gu Shubai's army into the city, but they shout "Princess Zhenjiang, Princess Zhenjiang Your majesty
This used to be Yufu's fiefdom in Dongling. The name of Zhenjiang Princess spread all over the world and was deeply loved by the people.
Now the people are in dire straits. When they learn that the city was ceded to Beili by Ning Chengzhi, they are not only ashamed of losing their power and humiliating their country, but also very happy.
Beili is a powerful country. Her Majesty was once a princess of Zhenjiang. She will surely guard this city!
Gu Shubai and his party received great courtesy. That night, Zhenjiang garrison handed over Yiying's official documents and prepared to leave Zhenjiang for Lin'an.
"This general, there are only one thousand people in Zhenjiang garrison. Do you want to take them to Lin'an?"
Gu Shubai collected the official documents and heard about the situation of Zhenjiang garrison, so he couldn't help asking one more question.
For a long time, Dongling did not defend the border of Beili, because Beili never invaded Dongling and Xikun, which was the default rule.
Yufu's garrison increased a little after Dongling showed his identity. A city can be guarded by 1000 people.
However, the number of rebels outside is still too small.
Gu Shubai said: "Linzhou has been captured by the uprising army. If the general leads his army out of Zhenjiang and meets the uprising army, these 1000 people are not enough for each other to make appetizers. It's a long way to Lin'an. It's very dangerous to meet the rebels everywhere. "
The general's face was Earth colored, and he gave a smile that was uglier than crying. "Thank you General, don't worry
Gu Shubai was stunned, and the general led the way: "the last general was a centurion under the strict General of Gu's army, who was later transferred to Zhenjiang as a guard general. It's normal for the major general not to recognize the humble position of the last general. "
Gu Shubai smiles when he meets an old friend.
He sat down according to the general. "Although the Gu family army is gone, since you used to be a member of our Gu family army and I used to be a major general, please listen to my advice. Even if you don't take care of yourself, you should also take care of the lives of these 1000 soldiers. When you get out of Zhenjiang, I'm afraid few of you can live to Lin'an. "
The general wiped a tear, "young general, the imperial court's will is to let the guards of our nine cities lead their troops back to Korea for reinforcement, except for Linzhou. Linzhou has been captured, and all the soldiers guarding the city have been killed. Military orders must not be violated. Why don't you know that going back is a dead end? The last general is not afraid of death. He is afraid that he will not die in defending the imperial capital. Instead, he will die on the road
Gu Shubai thought about it. Even though there were 1000 people in each of the nine cities, the total number was only 10000, it was still difficult to resist the momentum of the uprising.
He didn't want to see these innocent soldiers lying in the middle of the corpse, a cavity of blood turned into nonsense.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "in that case, why don't you stay in Zhenjiang and don't leave."
The general was stunned. As a member of the Gu family army, he naturally believed in Gu Shubai, but now they belong to the two camps. Gu Shubai is
Do you want him to join Beili army with 1000 soldiers?
He gritted his teeth and stood up from his seat, "young general, I always think that if I could go to Beili to join you, I would like to go to Beili. But today, with this opportunity, the general finally found that he could not do so. Dongling's country is already on the verge of collapse. At this time, the general will lead the army to betray. Won't he become a national thief? I'd rather die than be like this
