Rescuing the emperor is a top priority. After dinner, everyone gathered in the front hall to discuss.
In fact, the fact that the emperor was arrested did not spread in the army. People who knew about it were strictly forbidden to speak. First, for the safety of the emperor, and second, for the morale of the emperor, it was a little ugly that the emperor was arrested.
There were not many people participating in the meeting. Bai Qianfan naturally wanted to be there. He sat down and watched Xu Dalun insert a small flag into the sand table, with three bodyguards standing behind her.
"This is the town where the emperor was captured, this is Chisha City, this is Baicheng," Xu Dalun said. "There is a straight official road from the town to Chisha, but the Mengda army has a big goal. It must have abandoned the road and crossed the forest. The nearby mountains and forests stretch for hundreds of miles, and there are many fierce beasts in the forest. Once they cross the border from the forest to Mengda, it is difficult for us to track them. In terms of time, at this time, they are afraid that they have already returned to Mengcheng. "
Everyone here has a dignified face and continues to listen to him.
Xu Dalun took a small flag and put it on the sand table. "This is the capital city of Mengda, beirener, which is separated from Baicheng by two big counties. If the Mengda army wants to send the emperor to beirener, it is necessary to pass through these two big counties. As long as we send people to ambush along the way, we will be able to rescue the emperor."
Everyone nodded in agreement, but Bai Qianfan said, "now it's not clear who captured the emperor. If you set up an ambush to let Mengda know, you will be suspicious."
Xu Dalun said unhappily, "Mengda has been harassing my northern territory. Who else can they have? Vice General Qian has lived in the capital for a long time, and he doesn't know the sinister scoundrels of the Mengda people. Besides, every time they go out, they wear Mengda costumes, so there's no need to hide their identity. "
"What if someone wants to start a war between East Vietnam and Munda?" Bai Qianfan said, "as long as there is a war, there will be casualties. No matter who loses or who wins, it will hurt the root. What if someone deliberately provokes the war between East Vietnam and Mengda, and they take advantage of it?"
Xu Dalun didn't control his temper. He knocked heavily on the table. "It's nonsense!"
The three bodyguards drew their swords almost at the same time. The people on the scene were surprised. Bai Qianfan quickly stopped Ning shisan with his eyes and said, "General Xu has different opinions. Please tell me. I'm all ears."
Xu Dalun took a look at the three bodyguards with a cold face. He forbeared and forbeared. He had no prejudice against the three bodyguards. It was their bounden duty to protect the master. He just didn't like Vice General Qian.
"I would like to ask Vice General Qian, where is your basis?"
Bai Qianfan said, "they have been fighting near the army for two days in a row. It's really provocative. The purpose is to force us to fight with Mengda."
Xu Dalun contends with each other, "why don't Vice General Qian think this is the original intention of Mengda? Mengda provoked us and wanted to go to war with East Vietnam. "
Bai Qianfan argued that "if you just want to start a war and kill people directly, why do you want to take people away? It's not easy for them to take so many living people away from east Vietnam at one time. And killing the people can arouse our anger. " She paused for a moment and slowed down her voice. "In fact, it was the emperor who first guessed that it was not me. The emperor thought that it was a conspiracy. Someone wanted to start the war between East Vietnam and Mengda. Maybe it was an accident that the emperor was caught, or maybe it was the emperor's plan to sneak into the enemy's nest. The emperor is the most courageous and resourceful monarch I have ever seen. No one can capture him unless he wants to. "
Xu Dalun squinted at Bai Qianfan, then turned his eyes to Cao Tianming's face. "General Cao went north with the emperor all the way. Did you hear the emperor say these words?"
Cao Tianming, "this Although I didn't hear the emperor say these words, Vice General Qian said yes, it must be
Xu Dalun is very surprised. Although he has no intimate relationship with Cao Tianming, he has heard of him. He knows that he is not a flatterer. Even if the Qian family is a royal family, Cao Tianming should not be so right and wrong. After all, it is the emperor who is arrested! Since Cao Tianming didn't hear the emperor's words, it would be regarded as the one-sided words of Vice General Qian and could be ignored.
He was silent for a while and said, "Deputy General Qian opposed the war because he was afraid that Mengda would know that the emperor was among the people they captured, but they captured the people of East Vietnam. This can also be the reason for the war. The most urgent thing is to save the emperor. General Cao, what do you think? "
Cao Tianming looks at Bai Qianfan. She doesn't say a word, but frowns. Under the thick black eyebrows are big black eyes. Although she has long been a wife and mother, years have not left any traces on her face. Under the emperor's careful care, her face remains the same, not stained with dust. Although she painted thick black eyebrows, pointed the grain and sat among a group of coarse men, she is still very different from them.
At this time, deputy general Hou Bao said, "the last general agreed with General Xu's view that rescuing the emperor is a top priority. We can't delay it. We immediately went to war and forced Mengda to release all the people we captured. That's what war is like. Whoever takes the initiative will take the lead."
Xu Dalun looked at him admiringly, "deputy general Bao is right. We should take advantage of the opportunity and take Mengda by surprise."
Bai Qianfan still insisted on his opinion, "I am against the war for two reasons. First, if the war starts, it will hit the enemy's trap. Second, I am afraid to disturb the emperor's plan."Cao Tianming watched Bai Qianfan silently and saw the determination on her face. Since the emperor was arrested, he had more contact with the queen. The more contact he had, the deeper his respect for the queen was.
When the emperor was just taken away, he was very worried. Without the emperor's care, he didn't know whether the weak queen could follow them to Baicheng smoothly and safely. He was afraid that she would be affected, that she would be ill, and that she might accidentally expose her identity. But later, he found that he was worried too much. When they pulled out camp before dawn, the queen helped to collect the camp account. When it was dark, the queen helped to make a fire and cook. What they ate, she ate. She didn't complain or delay. She was a member of the army, not a queen.
At first, he listened to her just because she was the queen. Later, the more he thought about it, the more reasonable her words were. The empress was a couple of gods, and her love was unusual. Perhaps there was no one in the world who knew the emperor better than the empress. If the Emperor made the arrangement and they acted rashly, it would not only break the emperor's plan, but also cause irreparable consequences.
"I agree with Vice General Qian," he said
Xu Dalun glanced at him faintly. "In this case, it's better for us to vote. The minority is subordinate to the majority and agree to send troops to rescue the emperor."
Most of the people in the room raised their hands, and Xu Da Lun's eyebrows stretched out. "That's settled. Tomorrow we will raise food and grass first."
Bai Qianfan stood up and said in a loud voice, "I'm against it!"
