Sword God Wine Ancestor

Chapter 558
"It's a good idea, but you still haven't said what you will do in this battle." Old Man Lu said.

Su Bai smiled and said, "Didn't I say it? I think it's very clear. I won't do anything in this battle, because it has nothing to do with me."

Mr. Lu nodded slowly, and said, "Okay, I understand."

On the day when Zao Wou-ki was about to march in person at the court, the Seventh Prince of Huizhou got the news, and the Seventh Prince immediately called all his advisers and generals to discuss countermeasures.

In the hall, the Seventh Prince Zhao Zhen walked back and forth a little anxiously, and said very irritably: "You all talk about what to do now? How to deal with the next battle!"

Everyone had different expressions, and some showed hesitation on their faces, and said tentatively: "Your Highness, I think... I think it's better for you to take the initiative to go back to Beijing. After all, you didn't say you want to rebel and stand on your own. Even if you go back, you should There's nothing wrong with that."

The seventh prince, Zhao Zhen, gave the other party a cold look. Although he didn't speak, that look alone made the other party's heart skip a beat, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

Lin Chao snorted and said, "I'm afraid of a ball! Just let the emperor come and play! We have soldiers and generals, and we are afraid that they will fail!"

The other generals also nodded in agreement, basically agreeing to go to war, but some civil servants did not speak.

The Seventh Prince Zhao Zhen looked at Sima Wuyan and asked, "Brother Wuyan, what do you think?"

Sima Wuyan was very calm, and said: "Your Highness, things have come to this point, do you think it is still possible to turn around? Just like General Lin said, the battle is over!"

Lin Chao heard that Sima Wuyan agreed with his point of view, and immediately burst into a smile. The seventh prince Zhao Zhen also made up his mind at this time, nodded slowly, and said with a serious expression: "Okay, then prepare separately! I'd like to see Look, how the father is going to deal with my son!"

On the ninth day of June, outside the city of Shangjing, a mighty army of 50 soldiers was standing. Standing on the top of the city, looking at the soldiers below, Zhao Wuji exhaled and said, "It has been nearly 23 years since I ascended the throne at the age of [-]! Fighting big and small I have also experienced a few battles, not to mention a lifetime of soldiers and horses, and I can be regarded as an emperor on horseback! Today, I will lead an army to crusade against rebellious sons, you guys, how dare you go out to fight!"

"Battle! Fight! Fight!"

The soldiers in the city shouted loudly, Zhao Wuji laughed silently, his gaze fixed, and he said with a single stroke of the sword in his hand: "Let's go!"

The soldiers under the city began to move quickly, Zhao Wuji also turned around and went down the city, there were many people standing behind him, including the empress Shangguan, the eldest prince, and some ministers in the court, the empress Shangguan said with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, let The concubine will go with you!"

After a few days of recuperation, at least Zhao Wuji seemed to have fully recovered on the surface. Hearing this, he smiled lightly and said, "Queen, how can there be no one in the palace when I am marching in person? The queen should take good care of my home for me!"

Then he turned his eyes to look at the eldest prince Zhao Zheng, and said in a deep voice: "Zheng'er, if there is any important matter in the court during the time when I am not in the palace, you can make a decision. If you are undecided, you can discuss with the prime minister." Discuss the decision with the ministers!"

The eldest prince Zhao Zheng was overjoyed, what is this for?This is to instruct him to take charge of the government temporarily!He calmed down his excitement, and hurriedly bowed to accept his order: "Father, don't worry, this son will definitely live up to the father's trust!"

Li Chengji's eyes flashed with joy. Sure enough, his choice was correct. After this incident, Zhao Wou-ki should have made a decision in his heart. If it was in the past, Zhao Wou-ki would not let people take care of the government temporarily. , but now entrusted to the eldest prince Zhao Zheng, this is cultivating successors!
The ministers present were all aware of this, and their gazes towards the First Prince changed a bit. It seems that their attitude towards the First Prince needs to be changed in the future. Some ministers who are usually estranged from the First Prince, want to Do you want to get closer to the eldest prince in the future?
Of course, there are also some unmoved, such as the official minister Lu, the old man is there, squinting his eyes slightly, as if he has lost his mind, and doesn't care about everything around him, but when saluting, he can Accurate, scrupulously fulfilling the etiquette, I don't know how he did it.

But Empress Shangguan's mood at the moment is not very beautiful, although there is no trace of expression on her face, her heart is quite heavy, of course she understands what Zhao Wuji means, and it is because of understanding that she is unhappy, she never thought of it, always The mighty Zhao Wuji actually began to think about his successor at this time, and chose the eldest prince Zhao Zheng as his target!

Although she is a queen, even if the eldest prince succeeds to the throne, she is still the empress dowager, but the eldest prince Zhao Zheng is not her biological son after all, so she still hopes that her biological son, the eleventh prince, will be on the throne!Originally, she thought that this matter would take a few more years, even decades, and Zao Wou-ki would not make a decision, but she did not expect that the other party now has the idea of ​​establishing a reserve!
In this way, because the eleventh prince was too young, Zhao Wuji did not think about it, and made the first prince Zhao Zheng the object of the crown prince, which made Empress Shangguan a little reconciled, but what if he was not reconciled?Zhao Wou-ki has always been strong, how can he allow others to talk about this kind of thing?
No matter what the people present thought, Zao Wou-ki had already strutted downstairs, got on the chariot of sixteen horses, and headed towards Huizhou with the mighty army.

Maybe it was because Zhao Wuji never thought that he would lose this battle, maybe in his opinion, after hearing his arrival, his son might open the city gate and surrender!
So he never thought that he would encounter an ambush on the way. Although it was just a surprise attack, he lost [-] to [-] soldiers.

Zhao Wou-ki hastily ordered to set up camp, in the big tent, Zhao Wou-ki's face was gloomy like water, like a volcano about to erupt, none of the generals present dared to speak, for fear of bringing about unwarranted disasters.

"Are you all dumb! How did you manage to lead your troops when you were ambushed by the enemy!" Zhao Wuji roared.

"Your Majesty, forgive me, I will die!" Kneeling on the ground in the big tent.

Zhao Wuji exhaled a long breath, and after roaring, he calmed down somewhat, and he also knew that these generals had little to do with causing such a situation, the main reason was that he didn't have any vigilance, and he was like Let the army advance freely like a spring outing, because he is the emperor, and this time he is personally conquering by the royal driver. His previous strong and conceited, the generals below dare not even raise their opinions!

If Old General Ji was here, he could still say a few words, but Old General Ji is still in the south, of course it is Zhao Wuji who has the final say here, and he suffered such a small loss in the end.

"Get up!" Zhao Wou-ki said in a calm tone, "Talk about what to do now."

The generals then stood up and remained silent for a moment. One of them looked at the young general who was only in his 20s, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, from this attack, the Seventh Prince Zhao Zhen has no intention of turning back. So first of all, the general thinks that we are not going to Zhao'an, but purging!"

The face of a middle-aged general next to the young general changed, and he secretly pulled the young general's armor. The other party was his son, and the reason why he was able to stand in the big tent was also because of him, but he never thought that he would How dare the son speak at such a time!
Zhao Wuji said with great interest: "Oh? What does this little general think? Let's hear it!"

Zhao Wuji didn't know the other party's name, and he didn't intend to know. The reason why he said this was just to give a message to the generals, that is, he was really asking for everyone's opinions, not just talking.

The young general pondered for a moment, then said: "Your Majesty personally leads 50 elite troops, and there are many generals. In terms of military strength, he is completely capable of crushing the Seventh Prince, so the last general does not have any big opinions. The opponent has no chance to resist!"

Saying this is like not saying it!What is steady and steady, and how is it considered steady and steady?You made it clear!It seemed that it was just a talk on paper, the young general's father looked even worse, and even planned to kneel down to plead guilty!

But I didn't expect Zhao Wuji to say with a pleasant face: "That's right, what you said makes sense, do you have any other ideas? Listen to what you have said."

All the generals were stunned, Zhao Wuji didn't rule the young general, and even encouraged him, this is the emperor they knew!But this little general really made a good start and played a leading role. Now hearing Zhao Wuji's questioning again, everyone finally stopped being silent and began to express their opinions.

In the end, the marching plan was indeed determined. Of course, the general direction was indeed as good as the little general said, that is, to fight steadily, but it is more specific, such as which route to take, who is the forward, and which general should be the leader. The forward, how many troops should be led, and how far the army behind must be from the forward, in order to be able to respond as quickly as possible.

Everything, etc., has been carefully planned, Zhao Wuji finally waved his hand and said: "Then it's settled, you guys go down and make arrangements!"

"Yes!" The generals led the order and left, and the forward troops also set off soon.

In the empty big tent, there were only two people left, Zhao Wuji, and Liang Xiuxian, who was like a shadow beside him, who had never made a sound since just now.

Without outsiders, a trace of exhaustion suddenly appeared on Zhao Wuji's face, he moved his shoulders, and the iron armor on his body suddenly rattled.

Liang Xiuxian next to him said: "Your Majesty, why don't you take off this armor."

Zhao Wuji shook his head slowly, and said: "As the chief general, how can I remove my armor in broad daylight? There is no need to say this again!"

Hearing his refusal, Liang Xiuxian stopped persuading him.

After a while, Zhao Wuji suddenly said softly: "Xiu Xian, do you think I am getting old?"
