Biography of Qingwu

Chapter 76
On this side, Xu Wenjie and Liang Yu received orders to retreat, but they did not gather together. King Anjing once wanted to withdraw troops and gather in one place to attack a city together. Fearing that he would be encircled by the Marquis of the Kingdom of Wei, he strongly opposed it. King Anjing felt that he would lose face. How could a dignified man listen to a woman like her? Qing Wu's tricks come up one after another, and she has made a lot of contributions. She should be given more trust.

King Anjing knew that she was unparalleled in strategy, but with a man's face in front of him, he couldn't rely on her in everything.

But he nodded and agreed, and ordered the withdrawal of the troops that day.

Jiang Mingyuan came back in the evening, and he was no longer dressed in the same clothes as when he went. He came back in caravan clothes, and the soldiers guarding the tent almost didn't recognize him.

Chen Qingwu was not worried about him. Although Jiang Mingyuan was reticent and had a low sense of presence, he was very clever, and his ability to change in time was unmatched.

Taking a look, Chen Qingwu knew that he must have come back after wandering around in Jingcheng.Asked: "How is the situation in Jingcheng?"

Jiang Mingyuan ignored her, and walked towards his tent on his own. Chen Qingwu followed behind and chattered endlessly: "Oh, brother Mingyuan, I know I was wrong. I will be more careful in the future."

Jiang Mingyuan was still angry about what happened the day before yesterday, angry that she didn't have the brains to fall in love with King Anjing, but at this time she called Brother Mingyuan, just like when she was a child, Mrs. Chen led the army to wipe out the bandits, and Mrs. Chen took the young master on a long journey. There were not many servant girls, and he often went to take care of them. At that time, Qingwu followed his buttocks and Mingyuan elder brother. When she grew up, she was much more stubborn, always shouting nonsense, Jiang Mingyuan!At this time, when she heard her calling brother, her heart instantly softened.

Jiang Mingyuan felt in a daze that what he could see when he turned around was the mischievous eight or nine-year-old girl, but when he turned around, it was the stubborn Chen Qingwu who had grown up and refused to listen to persuasion.

Jiang Mingyuan walked into the camp, followed by Chen Qingwu. It seemed that she didn't get an answer, and she would not give up. With a sigh, Jiang Mingyuan said, "There is an ambush in Jingcheng, and the number is unknown."

"about how much?"

"More than one hundred thousand." Jiang Mingyuan replied, sat down and poured a cup of herbal tea. "Jingcheng's city defense battalion can no longer be filled. The number of guards inside the city gate is three times that of the outside."

This was within Chen Qingwu's expectation, and she was not surprised. : "Okay, I see, you rest"

until evening.After finishing the renovation, King Anjing's side launched a surprise attack, including Xu Wenjie and Lianghou's troops, also launched a surprise attack without warning.Fight wherever you go, what should have been a quiet night, the flames of war raged.

In one night, the five cities were successively conquered, and the momentum was like a broken bamboo.

Qingli, Baicheng, Moling, Haocheng, Liangzhou, and other small cities without heavy guards were all included in the pocket of King Anjing overnight.

The Marquis of the State of Wei received many requests for help, but he refused to pay any attention to it. The overnight urgent report was tied up with a carrier pigeon and sent to the imperial city.

The ministers of the DPRK impeached Wei Guohou according to the table, ignored the letter of appeal for help, lost five cities, and asked Wei Guohou to be punished.

Zhao Huaining sat high on the dragon chair, his eyebrows were furrowed for many days without ever stretching them!
Cao Xiu criticized and criticized three times, saying: "The Marquis of Wei is not effective in leading the army. Sit back and watch Qingli, Baicheng, Moling, Haocheng, and Liangzhou fall to the enemy. Please change the commander again, and General Yuan will lead the entire army!"

Cao Xiu, an old man, was in Cao Ying and his heart was in Han, and he kept saying that he lost the five cities. In fact, he was just looking for a reason to force himself to let Yuan Wei'an go free.

How could it be as he wanted, once Yuan Wei'an was out of control, it would be a serious problem.

Before he could figure out how to refute Cao Xiu, a soldier broke into the hall and said, "An urgent report from Jicheng! The Jicheng army retreated without a fight, and now Jicheng has fallen into the hands of South Korea!"

Zhao Huaining's days of depression reached the peak at this moment, burning with anger, he threw down all the memorials in his hand, slapped the table and stood up, roaring: "Retreat without fighting? Retreat without fighting? Is this the army led by Yuan Wei'an? Such a person is also worthy of Cao Xiu's strong recommendation to lead the army to fight against Zhao Huairou? What is he going to do? When he gets there, he kneels down and surrenders Jingcheng Xiang'an to Zhao Huairou?"

Zhao Huaining was furious, and the ministers below fell to their knees. Cao Xiu didn't know what happened, but he was not afraid of Zhao Huaining at all. It was a fact that Zhao Huaining was out of position. He didn't leave, so how could he put his anger in his eyes.

"Go and kill Yuan Wei'an!"

Cao Xiu's eyes narrowed, Zhao Huaining was murderous, and asked the soldier who had just rushed to the palace: "The Jicheng army retreated, where did they go?"

"I don't know."

Zhao Huaining's heart trembled, the whereabouts of the [-] troops are unknown?On the way to the imperial city?To kill him?Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Cao Xiu went on to say: "The Jicheng army has no leader."

"Shut up! Cao Xiu, I don't want to listen to you! Where's Pei Yi? Didn't Pei Yi go to the peace talks? Why did you wait for the news that South Korea had captured Jicheng?" Zhao Huaining interrupted Cao Xiu angrily.

This move aroused dissatisfaction among the ministers, and they all went up to report that Cao Xiu was not wrong and should not be scolded.

One of the upright ministers stepped forward and said: "Today, on the memorial stage, there are piles of memorials for the impeachment of Marquis Wei. Why did your majesty press it down and not mention it? As an admonition order, Mr. Cao should correct the mistakes." Why do you scold Master Cao like this? Besides, the Jicheng army retreated, General Yuan was banned in the mansion, and even a word could not be spread. The Jicheng army retreated without a fight. There must be other reasons. What is the general doing?"

There were not a few people who agreed with him, Zhao Huaining made a big fuss, and gritted his teeth and said, "Jingcheng and Xiang'an are important military bases that support the entire Zhao Kingdom, and they must not be lost. As for the specific reason, I have to wait until I ask clearly before making a decision."

Cao Xiu snorted coldly, "The emperor's relatives and relatives are different. General Yuan just brought him up and killed him. When it was Wei Guohou's turn, he had to ask carefully before making a decision. If he treats one more favorably than another, he should not be an official. !"

Cao Xiu threw off his black hat in public, turned around and left.

A stone stirred up thousands of waves, Cao Xiu was that stone, a few brave ones followed Cao Xiu and threw their hats off.The one who spoke outrightly just now wanted to take off his hat as if he was going to put his hands on the brim of his hat, but when Cao Xiu turned around and passed in front of him, he shook his head slightly.

He had no choice but to give up, put his hand down, and quietly returned to his original position without saying another word.

Zhao Huaining gritted his teeth and retreated, with nowhere to vent his anger. He dragged Yating and asked, "Where's Yaying? Where's Wang An! Are you gone forever?"

Yating said tremblingly: "Yaying has returned to the teacher's school. A master named Chen Qingwu appeared beside King Anjing. He is young and female. Yaying is not an opponent, so Yaying wants to go back to the teacher's school to call some The master came back, otherwise we would have no chance to make a move with her by King Anjing's side. Wang An also sent a letter saying that Jingcheng and Xiang'an should be guarded at this moment."

"What's the use of him delivering the letter! Where is he? When will he come back!" Zhao Huaining was suffocating him like he was scratching his heart.

"No, I don't know. I'll send a letter to Wang An immediately, asking him to come back!" Yaying waited for Zhao Huaining's response in fear, Zhao Huaining waved his hand casually, and Yaying immediately resigned as if he had received an amnesty.

Going all the way to the Empress Dowager's Palace, Zhao Huaining hurried forward, even knocking down the palace lady, and rushed straight in.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is paying respects to the Buddha, please go in and let me know." The maid at the gate tried to stop him, but was pushed down by Zhao Huaining.

"Get off!"

Zhao Huaining was furious at the moment, South Korea captured Jicheng, the empress dowager couldn't get rid of it, what mother and son, what empress dowager and Your Majesty, mother's kindness and son's filial piety are just a fig leaf for this conflict of interests!

With a creak, the door opened from the inside, and the empress dowager was all in white, with no hair accessories on her blue and white hair.

But Zhao Huaining opened his mouth and said sarcastically: "The Empress Dowager would not think that if she only wears plain clothes and does not wear makeup, she will be able to forgive the crime."

The Empress Dowager concealed her guilty conscience and sneered: "It's ridiculous, what's the crime of mourning the family?"
