Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Chapter 288 Reverse attack, get rid of the thief as soon as possible

It seems correct to say that this is a thousand-mile raid, but the direction of the thousand-mile raid is not right.

Who says running backwards is not running?

The soldiers and horses led by Qin Hui were not many, and they just put down their bags and buried pots to make food when they came here. They didn't directly leave the tents, so it is very convenient to pack them up now.

After a while, a group of men and horses had already set off, heading southeast like burning buttocks.

And the frontier army led by Wu Sangui filled their stomachs here, rested and recovered their horsepower, and did not start to set off until Tanqi from the north came back to report, rushing towards the direction where Qin Hui and the others left...

The fall of Yanping Town is a major event, which means that the imperial court's defense force at the border has completely fallen.

Since then, the Jin soldiers have been able to drive all the way in, plundering Jizhou unscrupulously... and using Jizhou as a pedal, they continue to go south, further encroaching on the territory of Daqian.

Naturally, such an important military report would not be delayed for half a minute, and it was sent to the capital at a speed of [-] miles.

Even so, when he came to the capital, it was already a few days later.

After receiving the report, the Ministry of War did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately sent it to Ziwei Hall...

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and at noon, the air in the hall will be a bit dull, causing people to lose their appetite, even if the windows and palace doors are wide open, it will be useless.

The same is true for Li Gan, coupled with the turmoil related to Cai Jing and side affairs these days, it is even more difficult to eat.

After seeing it, the doctors of the Imperial Hospital all said that His Majesty's dragon body is much healthier than normal people's. It's just that it's the turn of spring and summer, the weather is getting hotter, and there are too many thoughts, so it's like this.

Li Gan himself didn't take it seriously, but the eldest grandson Wugou and many concubines were really nervous for a while, busy cooking hawthorn drink, sour plum soup and other appetizers in the harem.

The old eunuch was even more anxious, and arranged dozens of eunuchs to hold huge dragon-patterned gold silk fans at the entrance and windows of the hall to fan the inside.

After all, these actions worked. Even in the palace now, I no longer feel the same dull feeling as before, and the loss of appetite has also been reduced a lot.

Plates of "Royal Vegetables" with beautiful colors, fragrances, and exquisite materials, cooking, and presentation were placed on the table in front of Li Gan.

But at this moment, his focus is not on these things, but on the memorial on the table.

These memorials were placed beside the bowl, and Li Gan turned over while eating.

Lu Zhi, who was sitting on the side helping him with food, had complex and distressed eyes, and wanted to speak several times, but finally said: "Your Majesty's appetite has just improved, so don't work so hard."

"Why don't you have a meal and rest for a while before reviewing these memorials."

Li Gan paused for a moment when he heard that he was eating, but still shook his head: "I think these things are just for entertainment, and I didn't bother to do anything, it's fine."

In his previous life, when he was eating, he always found some movies, novels and the like to "snack", and he couldn't get rid of this habit for a while after coming here.

It was also after coming here that Li Qian knew that the habit of eating with something has been passed down for a long time, and it is very prosperous in Dagan.

Most of the high-ranking officials and dignitaries keep an actor at home, and make him come out to dance a few songs when eating...

Naturally, there is such a program in the palace, and the specification is the highest in the world, but Li Qian lost interest after using it a few times.

On the contrary, these memorials sent from various places mostly record the latest events in various places. Reading these things is just like watching news and entertainment.

Seeing that he continued to watch, Lu Zhi couldn't help but sighed: "Your Majesty planned state affairs all night, and didn't even relax at mealtimes. It's really..."

He was interrupted by the hurried footsteps of the old eunuch only halfway through his speech.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of War has sent another military report."

Li Qian raised his head from between the books and chopsticks: "Bring it."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The old eunuch hurried forward and handed the chicken-feathered letter to Li Gan, and continued: "Your Majesty, Pei Butang from the Ministry of War is still waiting outside the hall."

"Just ask him to come in."

Li Gan put down the bowl and chopsticks, took out the letter paper and began to read. Lu Zhi stood up and gave a salute, and then slowly exited here.

"Yanping Town..."

Li Qian looked at the lines on it, his eyes gradually became serious.

After reading it in one breath, General Li Gan pressed the newspaper on the table and waved to the old eunuch beside him: "Tear it all down."

The old eunuch hesitated for a moment, but still responded, and asked the surrounding eunuchs to come and clean up the food.

These colorfully dressed eunuchs kept flashing in front of Li Qian's eyes, but he didn't take them into his eyes, but thought about the battle situation in Jizhou.

There is no doubt about the importance of Yanping Town, but Li Gan has been exposed to a lot of "bad news" these days. Even if the last pass is lost, it can't make him change color and cause too much emotional fluctuation.

But no matter how he reacts, the fall of Yanping Town cannot be changed after all, and the consequences will also be borne by the court.

Li Gan originally thought of using Yanping Town, which was firmly guarded, as the cornerstone, so that the frontier troops on the other two sides would continue to advance from the east and west, so as to reduce the retreat space of the Jin soldiers!

Regardless of the huge losses in the war up to now, for the Kingdom of Jin, the hundreds of thousands of fine cavalry are already more than half of their army.

If all these soldiers and horses were lost in the territory of Dagan, then the Kingdom of Jin would be in jeopardy all of a sudden.

With their strength greatly weakened, they will become the most delicious piece of meat on the grassland where the weak eat the strong. The Turks and the Huns who originally looked at Daqian may look at the Jin Kingdom like hungry wolves in an instant.

Far from restraining them, the Great Yuan Empire at the top may even join them...

It's not possible, but he will definitely join the team that carves up the Golden Kingdom.

This is a more straightforward grassland that embodies the law of the jungle and the law of the jungle.

As long as you want to understand these, you can be sure that Jin Guo will not dare to let these elite cavalry fall into the big gun.

Li Qian let the eastern and western frontiers double-team respectively, and made a posture to retake the northeast border, in order to make the Jin soldiers nervous and retreat in the direction of the border.

Doing so can reduce the scope of activities of these golden soldiers and save fewer people from their looting.

The second is to create opportunities for Zuo Weiwei and later Fubing to encircle the Jinren cavalry. The smaller the encirclement, the less maneuverable and lethal the cavalry, and the easier it is to destroy them.

However, all of this has now been shattered with the fall of Yanping Town.

Without the "stalk" of Yanping Town in Jin Bing's throat, the frontier troops on both sides would certainly not be able to pose too much threat to Jin Bing...

Thinking of this, Li Gan felt a headache.

Yanping Town fell, where did the frontier soldiers guarding it flee after being chased?Where is Qin Hui again?Will it directly collide with the soldiers and horses of the Jinren...

This military report was issued on the day Yanping Town fell, and there is no such news.

And what Li Gan was more concerned about was that the situation in Yanping town had already stabilized, so why was it suddenly captured by the Jin soldiers?

Such a strange thing... Could it be that Cai Jing is playing tricks again?

While he was thinking, Pei Ji, who was dressed in a crimson official robe, walked in quickly: "I see Your Majesty."

"Just sit down."

Li Gan glanced at the military newspaper in his hand, then raised his head to look at Pei Ji: "Pei Shilang, have you read this military newspaper?"

"Return to Your Majesty, Da Sima is not in the ministry, I have already seen it."

Li Gan nodded, just about to say something, but suddenly stopped, and asked instead: "How is Da Sima's condition?"

"It's stabilized now, but it hasn't gotten much better yet."

Pei Ji said with some concern: "Your Majesty, Da Sima's illness is very strange. The illness comes like a mountain. A man as strong as Da Sima can't bear it. It must be some kind of evil disease..."

Li Qian nodded lightly, the ministers in the court are not fools, it is really unlikely that Li Jing fell ill at this juncture, if it was just a coincidence.

However, guessing is guessing, they still can't confirm the situation after all.

And Li Gan will not announce the matter of the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Big Companion, ask someone to summon all the adults to discuss matters."

Needless to say, this time, officials of the third rank and above had to discuss it together.

But the program belongs to the program, but Li Gan feels that based on the information he knows now, he probably can't discuss one, two, three.

Only after knowing the specific movements of the Golden Cavalry, Yanping Town Frontier Army and Qin Hui, can we respond.

Sure enough, the bosses couldn't say anything after they came to the palace. Given the current situation, all they can do is to urge the frontier soldiers and government soldiers to speed up their march...

After the discussion, Yan Song and He Shen turned back to Ziwei Hall in a short while.

"What is the purpose of the two Qing family coming here?"

Li Gan was just about to continue his lunch, but now he was interrupted again.

Yan Song and He Shen paused, seeing that the other party didn't speak, and they didn't speak either.

Li Qian saw their awkward appearance, and knew that they must have something to ask for from him, or they wanted to get something from him.

"What do you two gentlemen want to say?"

Li Gan looked at them pretending to be puzzled: "I still have to eat, why don't you stay together?"

"I dare not."

It was He Shen who spoke first. After he finished speaking, he seemed to realize that something was wrong, and hurriedly corrected him: "I dare not disturb Your Majesty's meal. Your Majesty eats first. I just wait and watch from below."

Li Gan raised his brows, but he didn't show any politeness to them, and directly asked the old eunuch to start serving the dishes again.

The ones that came up this time were not half-eaten, they were already cold, and they were freshly made.

There was a break in the middle of the meal, and now Li Qian felt as hungry as if he hadn't eaten. He was nibbling on the snack in his hand while flipping through the memorials on the table.

As for seeing two people having dinner... then there is no need, since they can only serve dinner.

"Your Majesty wears clothes and eats food, sleeps all night long, sleeps all day long, and never relaxes for a day. He is indeed a wise emperor through the ages." He Shen immediately noticed the detail that His Majesty was reading the memorial while eating.

Yan Song on the side was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty was so diligent when he was in the ninth and fifth ranks. It should be recorded in the classics to warn future generations. When I go back, I will let the servants under my door record this matter."

Li Gan raised his head when he heard the words, and said helplessly: "It doesn't matter whether you remember it or not, but the two Qing family, are you planning to wait for me to finish eating before talking about your business?"

"I dare not." Both of them sensed His Majesty's dissatisfaction and hurriedly brought the topic back on track.

"Your Majesty mentioned the matter of Cai Jing before. After returning home these few mornings, after thinking about it, I always feel that this matter should not be underestimated."

He Shen spoke first, and said solemnly: "At this time, the imperial court is fighting fiercely with the Kingdom of Jin. If traitors like Cai Jing and other traitors and collaborators are left in the imperial court, it may cause catastrophe."

Yan Song also said: "Your Majesty, I also came here for this matter. The defense of Yanping Town has been stabilized, but at this time when Qin Xiang rushed to Jizhou, it was suddenly broken by Jinlu, and Cai Jing may be among them." in the dark."

"If this thief is not eradicated, the super-class will be overthrown, and the country will be in danger."

Li Qian nodded secretly after hearing this, it turned out that it was for this matter.

It's just that they really want to get rid of the spies, or they are aiming at Cai Dang's position, I don't know...

Li Gan paused for a moment, then nodded slowly: "In fact, I have already had this intention."

The two nodded secretly when they heard the words, and He Shen continued to speak: "Your Majesty, I think it's better to dig out this sore sooner than later, and the sooner new flesh will grow."

As for who the new meat is, it seems that there is no need to say more.

Yan Song followed He Shen and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this thief Cai Jing is good at forming a party for personal gain. Over the years, he has colluded with countless officials to help him do things."

"It also likes to manage contacts, and has formed forces with people from many vassal states. It is deeply intertwined. It is not easy to get rid of them."

He Shen's chubby face also became serious, and he added: "Your Majesty, since this old thief Cai Jing is able to do such a frenzied thing, he must have been prepared for it, perhaps it has been secretly prepared for several years."

"If one is not handled well, it may make the thief jump over the wall in a hurry and do some outrageous things."

Li Gan listened to the words of these two people, and gradually figured out what they meant.

"What the two Qing family said is reasonable, I don't know if you think there is anything else that should be paid attention to?"

Seeing His Majesty's words were highlighted, Yan Song immediately said: "Your Majesty, how dare you not devote yourself to eradicating thieves for the country? I would like to take the lead and charge for Your Majesty."

"As long as Your Majesty asks for some insignificant help from your lord's helper, I may be able to get rid of this thief for Your Majesty."

He Shen seemed annoyed at being preempted by him, glared at him and hurriedly followed, "Your Majesty, I am also willing to get rid of this thief for Your Majesty."

"I have worked with Cai Jing in Shangshu Province for many years, and I know a little about it. As long as His Majesty orders Yan Xiang to help, I will be sure to remove him at the lowest cost."

Li Qian couldn't help but find it a little funny seeing the two of them trying to get up the pole.

If you put it in the previous work of charging and encircling battles, there might not be anyone willing to do it. The most important thing is to fight against people like Cai Jing. It is very likely that you will kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred yourself.

The only reason why these two people are so active must be to focus on the benefits behind it.

"no need."

After Li Gan took a deep look at the two of them, he waved his hands and said, "I will let Cai Jing resign by himself."
