retaliate

Chapter 155 Showing your sharpness (addition 4 for 'Sister Yu who beat Sir Dybala')

At this moment in Guanzhong, the grass is growing and the warblers are flying. The dignitaries in Chang'an City like to go out of the city for a spring break at this time.

Zhou Ning walked slowly in the Imperial College, holding a letter in his hand.

This is a letter from Yang Xuan from Northern Xinjiang, in which he said that the scenery in Northern Xinjiang is quite beautiful recently.

——It’s just that there is one less person to accompany me, and I will turn a blind eye to the beautiful scenery.

After entering the duty room, Zhou Ning made himself a cup of tea and sat down slowly.

The battle in Northern Xinjiang must be over by now, and Yang Xuan's letter should have been written when he was heading to the battlefield.But there is no mention of this in the letter, only the scenery and thoughts.

Zhou Ning read the letter again.

"Teacher Zhou."

Zhou Ning looked up, "What's the matter?"

There was a small official outside the door, he turned sideways, "Someone is looking for you."

The person who came was Xie Yu, the steward of the Zhou family.Xie Yu, who was in his thirties, looked amiable, and bowed slightly after entering, "I met the second lady."

Zhou Ning said calmly: "But something is wrong?"

Xie Yu nodded, "A-Lang's condition has improved recently, Mr. Lang said that the young lady should also go back and see A-Lang."

Zhou Ning thought of his grandfather Zhou Qin, who was always sick.

When she walked out of Zhou's gate that year, her grandfather's eyes were indifferent as if looking at a stranger, and her father said angrily that if she walked out of Zhou's gate, she would never come back for the rest of her life.

"But they found a man worthy of marriage again?" Zhou Ning sneered.

Xie Yu looked embarrassed, "It's nothing."

Zhou Ning looked at him, "Yes, or not."

Xie Yu said, "Of course..."

Zhou Ning picked up a volume of medical books, "Go back and tell Aye that the Imperial College is busy with lectures, and I will go home to see Aweng after a while."

Xie Yu glanced at her, and said with a wry smile: "Second lady, most of the men the family likes are people with deep backgrounds and great prospects. Second lady is getting older now, and it's time to talk about marriage. If you find a mediocre If you are married, you will have to worry about food, rice, oil and salt all your life, and you will inevitably suffer. Er Niangzi, people do not live for suffering, but for enjoyment!"

Zhou Ning glanced at him, "Go back."

Xie Yu sighed, "Second lady, the current situation is changing, and the northern border war is imminent, and we don't know how to win or lose. It is said in the palace that the crown prince is starved to death... It's better to be at home when there is chaos outside!"

Zhou Ning looked up at him.

"Are you going by yourself, or am I going to beat you out?"

……

in the palace.

Today the emperor convened the important ministers to discuss matters early.

It is rare for the emperor to be diligent, and the courtiers are naturally happy.

Song Zhen, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, is introducing the situation.

"There have been news coming from Northern Xinjiang. The news came the day before yesterday that Huang Chunhui led an army of [-] to attack, and the army of Beiliao was [-]. Our military department has also been thinking about this battle for a long time. The army of Northern Xinjiang is [-]. The best of the best. And the [-] army of the Northern Liao Dynasty is not weak, and the victory or defeat depends on the command in front of the battle."

Immediately, the ministers had a targeted discussion.

Conclusion: Win or lose is hard to tell.

"My minister is most worried." Yang Songcheng looked serious, "The northern army has not fought for several years, so I don't know how strong it is."

These words can be said to be offensive and defensive.

If he wins, then the head of the country is steady.If it is defeated, it's nothing to say, the head of the country has a long-term vision, and he has already seen the essence of Huang Chunhui, a black-headed snake.

The emperor glanced at Wang Douluo.

According to the recent law, when the head of the country comes, Wang Douluo will come here.

Sure enough, Wang Douluo gave a dry cough, signaling that he had something to say.

He glanced at Yang Songcheng first, "The 12 army in Northern Xinjiang seems huge, but how many troops are there in Beiliao? Hundreds of thousands. If Huang Chunhui used to fight like a wave, what would happen if he lost the battle? Has the patriarch ever thought about it?"

Yang Songcheng just smiled.

Zheng Qi pushed forward, "Avoiding and not fighting will only demoralize."

Wang Douluo sneered, "The old man said that in the face of Beiliao, Beijiang's strength is weak, so we have no choice but to avoid the battle. But you said that avoiding the battle will lead to demoralization. Then it's better to go to the battle. What if you lose?"

Zheng Qi smiled, "Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use them for a while..."

"The old man only asks what if you lose!"

"Ha ha!"

"You will only talk about him from left to right, and the old man will ask you again, what if you lose?"

Zheng Qi naturally couldn't answer.

Wang Douluo said: "If we lose, the situation in northern Xinjiang will collapse in an instant. Once the Liao army goes south, who will resist? Are you Zheng Shangshu? Or who?"

When he said this, Wang Douluo was looking at the head of state, Yang Songcheng.

The abbot was silent.

"Go away."

The emperor gave an order, and the dispute ended.

He then went to the harem.

"Where is the concubine?"

Han Shitou asked, and said, "Your Majesty is resting."

The emperor smiled, "But lazy."

Han Shitou and others know that the emperor likes the lazy appearance of the imperial concubine the most.

"Your Majesty, hot tea."

The palace people brought tea.

The emperor sat down, and someone came to massage his neck.

The emperor squinted his eyes contentedly, and suddenly asked, "Is there any change in Huang Chunhui's family?"

"No." Han Shishi replied.

The emperor hummed.

"Huang Chunhui was young and brave, and was promoted all the way in the army. Later, he annoyed Shangguan and was driven to northern Xinjiang."

"The former titan gradually turned into a fox in northern Xinjiang, and was later taken to southern Xinjiang. He stayed there for many years until he returned to northern Xinjiang again."

"Whether it's an old fox or a black-headed snake, my army can't hide in the city and pretend to be a tortoise, and become the laughing stock of the world!"

……

The outside of Chang'an City has become a paradise at this moment, the rich and powerful have occupied the best places for spring, and the common people can only choose remote places.

Dozens of gorgeously dressed men and women are galloping on the avenue at this moment.

"quick!"

The stimulation of chasing speed is human instinct, and these men and women are having a horse race right now.

Smoke rose up ahead, and someone shouted, "It's the cavalry."

"Get them out of here!" one man yelled.

Someone laughed and said, "Huang Sanlang, you have the guts to go by yourself."

The man scolded: "A bunch of cheap dog slaves, look at it!"

He rode his horse and rushed over, shouting, "Get out of the way!"

Surrounded by more than a hundred cavalry, several people seemed to have not heard this sentence, nor saw this person, and they still came straight.

"Avoid!"

Huang Sanlang's family has senior military officials, so he dared to intercept the cavalry.

The group of cavalry looked at the old man in charge.

"If it was ten years ago, who would have dared to stop the government soldiers and kill innocents. Times have changed, laws have been abolished, and there are more and more dudes."

The old man looked at the young man beside him, "Yang Xuan, what do you think should be done with this person?"

Yang Xuan said without hesitation: "Break the leg!"

The old man nodded.

He rushed over on a horse.

He untied the horizontal knife and raised it together with the scabbard.

The two horses staggered, and the scabbard slapped Huang Sanlang's thigh.

Another cavalryman charged from the other side, also slapping his scabbard.

"what!"

Huang Sanlang howled and fell off his horse.

Surrounded by the old man and others, more than a hundred cavalry rushed past the discolored young men and women.

Someone exclaimed, "It's Huang Chunhui, the Jiedu envoy of Northern Xinjiang!"

Huang Chunhui sighed a little when he heard the shout: "Don't the rich and powerful of the Tang Dynasty know how to teach their children how to behave?"

Yang Xuan looked back and saw an acquaintance.

He Huan also looked at him with gloomy eyes.

The young man who was once regarded as an ant by him returned to Chang'an with Huang Chunhui, the governor of Northern Xinjiang.

Yang Xuan's previous eyes were full of contempt.

This boy has become a rising star in northern Xinjiang, but I am still a dog of the Yang family... He Huan's eyes are full of gloom.

Huang Chunhui is here.

It is no small matter for the Jiedu envoy to return to Chang'an in person to report victory.

In the palace, the emperor left his favorite concubine and the half-composed tune, and hurried back to the court from the Liyuan.

The important ministers dropped their affairs and rushed outside the palace to seek an audience, eager to know the outcome of the war.

In a few moments, the palace was full of monarchs and ministers.

But Huang Chunhui and the others were changing their clothes, lest the embarrassing appearance that hadn't bathed for a long time hinder the king's view.I'm even more worried about the stinky body, which will spoil the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty.

Wang Douluo glanced at Yang Songcheng, with a provocative look in his eyes.

He has had a hard time recently, being besieged by Yang Songcheng and his henchmen, if he hadn't been upright and couldn't find a big mistake, he would probably be on the road to exile by now.

Yang Songcheng and the others have been pointing fingers at Beijiang, and they hate Huang Chunhui's head-shrinking tactics. They wish they could go to Beijiang to command the battle in person, and destroy Beiliao in World War I.

Now Huang Chunhui is back.

If he was defeated, Huang Chunhui would kneel outside the hall at this moment instead of calmly changing clothes.

In other words, Northern Xinjiang won this battle.

So what does the king think?

"What does the head of state think?" Wang Douluo asked.

Yang Songcheng said gratifiedly; "This battle can be won, His Majesty's foresight is admirable, and the soldiers of Northern Xinjiang should be rewarded for their bravery in killing the enemy..."

Don't think that the emperor doesn't eat flattery, but there are people who don't eat flattery and don't like to be flattered.

Unless his body and neurological mechanism are different from ordinary people, it will only be disgusting to hear the flattery.

The emperor's eyebrows stretched out. Recently, because he stayed in the pear garden for a long time, his mentality gradually changed a lot.The melody made his mind more and more relaxed, followed by his body becoming more and more comfortable.

But the emperor felt that it was only the concubine's credit.

Thinking of the concubine's plump body and the arrival of the good news, the emperor couldn't help being a little excited.There was a blush on his face. .

"Your Majesty, Huang Chunhui, envoy of the Northern Xinjiang Festival, seeks an audience."

The emperor nodded and looked at Han Shishi.

Han Shitou went out to meet him in person.

Huang Chunhui had already changed into new clothes, followed by three young generals.

"Everyone, please follow us." Han Shitou glanced at the three people behind.

This is the confidant of the false emperor. It's been a long time since I saw him. It's always right to leave a good impression... Yang Xuan showed his eight-petal teeth, and he had a friendly smile of a teenager.

He felt that Han Shitou looked at him a few more times, but it didn't seem to be the case.

Enter the hall and salute.

"My lord, I have seen Your Majesty."

"Huang Qing get up."

The emperor's voice couldn't help but soften a lot.

Huang Chunhui got up, "Because of the complicated situation in Northern Xinjiang and Northern Liao Dynasty, I want to come to Chang'an to wait for His Majesty's inquiries. Please forgive me for leaving Northern Xinjiang without permission."

The emperor smiled, "What is Huang Qing's crime?"

The emperor is indifferent, such tender moments are rare.

Northern Xinjiang should have won a battle. If it lost the battle, the emperor would probably change his face.

"Your Majesty is merciful."

Huang Chunhui said: "At the beginning of February, the minister led an army of [-] out of northern Xinjiang, attacked all the way, and broke through nine cities."

"Northern Liao sent out an army of [-], Prime Minister Lin Ya led the army, and the two armies met in mid-February."

Eighty thousand versus one hundred thousand... Huang Chunhui did not disappoint me.The emperor applauded silently in his heart, looking forward to the outcome of this battle.

"In this battle, Lin Ya attacked the right wing of our army fiercely, and the minister also attacked the right wing fiercely."

Song Zhen, Minister of the Ministry of War, couldn't help but praised: "Don't move with the enemy, you hit yours, I hit mine, Huang Zhongcheng is really unique in using troops."

Huang Chunhui smiled back, "When the right wing was in danger, I ordered King Wei to lead the reinforcements..."

He looked up at the emperor.

The emperor nodded slightly and smiled.

"The king of Wei is brave, but there are many enemy troops, the minister immediately ordered the cavalry to reinforce, Lin Ya launched a decisive battle, and the Chinese army was dispatched..."

"Wait." Zheng Qi interrupted Huang Chunhui's report, "I dare to ask Huang Zhongcheng, why did Lin Ya launch a decisive battle at this moment?"

"That's a good question." Huang Chunhui was like a good old man who never offended anyone. Even though he knew how much the country's father and his gang had slandered him, he still said good things.

"Lin Ya and the minister have been holding back in this battle, waiting for the other side to send out the Chinese army for reinforcements first. The king is in danger, and the minister sent reinforcements, but the enemy army is strong, and the king is besieged again..."

The emperor's expression remained unchanged.

It seemed that Huang Chunhui was talking about someone else's child.

Other people's children are always dying.

"The minister ordered thousands of cavalry to pretend to be the reinforcements of the Xuanjia cavalry. The Xuanjia cavalry is the elite of our northern border elite. Seeing this, Lin Ya thought that the minister was already stretched, so she launched a decisive battle."

What a Huang Chunhui!

The emperor couldn't help but nodded, showing joy on his face.

Huang Chunhui looked at Zheng Qi and asked with a smile: "Zheng Shangshu, do you understand?"

Huang Chunhui's explanations are so detailed that even Han Shitou, who doesn't know battle formation, understands it, let alone Zheng Qi.

But he still asked.

The question is very kind.

Zheng Shangshu, do you understand?

You are so stupid and like a pig, you are also worthy of sitting in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishments and pointing fingers at the old man?

Snapped!
This kind question was like a slap in the face, slapping Zheng Qi's face hard.

Even Yang Xuan was shocked by it, wondering if the old man is so brave?

No, it's tough!
Where did the old man who looked lifeless in the past go?
Everyone thought that Huang Chunhui would keep a low profile with the father of the country, but who would have thought that he would slap these people hard in the face.

Zheng Qi's face turned red suddenly, and anger gathered in his eyes.

He was thinking of ways to fight back.

"His Majesty."

A waiter came outside.

"What's the matter?"

The servant took a look at Huang Chunhui, "There is a censor who impeaches Huang Zhongcheng, which makes people's legs broken."

The emperor glanced at Han Shishi.

At this time, let alone breaking a person's leg, even if Huang Chunhui crippled him, the emperor would ignore it.

Han Shitou went over with a cold face, and said in a low voice, "Tell them. Nothing happened!"

The servant raised his head and smiled flatteringly, "Young Supervisor Han, that's the son of a high-ranking official in the Ministry of War."

Han Shitou sneered, "Let him go to college by himself, and he will be the one who gets whipped, not you."

"Thank you, Young Supervisor, for your guidance."

Han Shitou turned around, glanced at Huang Chunhui, and knew that Huang Chunhui was pretending to be domineering, so that the emperor would be less afraid of him.

Huang Chunhui continued: "For a decisive battle between the two armies, I immediately ordered the hidden Xuanjia cavalry to attack, and the enemy was defeated... Then our army pursued all the way. I was worried about reinforcements from Beiliao, so I withdrew my troops and returned to the division after more than ten miles."

Huang Chunhui raised his head and said in a sonorous tone, "In this battle, more than [-] enemy troops were killed, and more than [-] enemy troops were captured. This battle depends on His Majesty's Tianwei. The soldiers in the northern border are desperate, and I am fortunate to live up to my fate."

The emperor's mood was agitated when he heard that, seeing Huang Chunhui saluting at this moment, he pointed at him, "Hurry up and support him."

Han Shitou went to support Huang Chunhui, the emperor got up, and said with relief: "Beiliao has been on the verge of moving for the past few years, and he only wants to step on the northern border. You have lived up to my expectations, and the first battle made Beiliao frightened! Alright, hahahaha!"

The emperor laughed, whether it was funny or not, the courtiers had to laugh too.

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone is laughing.

The same is true for Zheng Qi, who smiled happily.

Sure enough, being an official means you can't lose face... Yang Xuan was observing, and he had some experience.

The emperor was overjoyed and rewarded immediately.

Needless to say money, the fields and houses are also generous.

"... the third grade under the same Zhongshu sect."

This is the title of prime minister, even if it is a false title, it is still honorable.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Huang Chunhui saluted, stood up and pointed to the three generals and said: "Your Majesty, I am old and always worried that there will be no successors in Northern Xinjiang. In this battle, the three stood out. The three of them are all rising stars in northern Xinjiang, and they are loyal to His Majesty."
