After the rebirth, the queen took the Meiqiang tragedy script

Chapter 145
As soon as Ye Qinghuai finished speaking, Gu Shihai's face immediately turned completely dark. He frowned and raised his eyes. His black eyes were like falcons staring at the calm emperor on the throne.

There was anger in his eyes, but he couldn't burst out.

For a long time, Gu Shihai twitched the corners of his mouth as if there was nothing, and a sneer appeared in his dangerous black eyes. He looked at Ye Qinghuai, as if he knew her for the first time.

Ye Qinghuai looked back at him without avoiding it, with a peaceful expression, as if she didn't notice the chill in his eyes.

"Gu Ge, do you have something to say?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

"Since your majesty has made a decision, the minister has nothing to say. It's just that the cabinet has not even heard the wind of such a major personnel change. Mr. Chen Ge, according to what I see, there is no need for the cabinet to continue." Gu Shihai Suddenly, he changed the subject and started talking to Chen Yuansi.

Although Chen Yuansi didn't look at him directly, his face darkened visibly to the naked eye.

"Mr. Gu Ge, that's not what he said. No matter what the cabinet says, it's His Majesty's cabinet." He still had that unhurried tone, and deliberately prolonged the word "Your Majesty".

The court meeting ended in an atmosphere that was full of rain and wind.

In addition to the five members of the cabinet and the minister of the Ministry of War, Lu Yanchen and Gu Haiwang were also named by Ye Qinghuai to stay and discuss the war in Beidi together.

"He Qing, how did Wushi Pass fall?" Ye Qinghuai asked straight to the point.

He Qingchang didn't look up at Ye Qinghuai, he paused, lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice, "A plague broke out in Wushi Pass."

As soon as he spoke, all the people in the hall cast their gazes at him, with fear in their eyes.

Even in normal times, the plague is also a major event in the court. If it is not handled properly, it will shake the foundation of the country, let alone in front of the army.

He Qingchang took out a booklet from his sleeve, put his hands over his head, and said, "Your Majesty, this is the last battle report Hu Changcheng sent back from the front."

For some reason, as he spoke, his voice weakened, as if he couldn't bear it.

Li Baoquan took the notebook and put it on the dragon case in front of Ye Qinghuai.

Everyone fell silent in unison, looking at the notebook in Ye Qinghuai's hand.

In the dull Hall of Supreme Harmony, there was only the sound of Ye Qinghuai slowly turning the memorial.

This battle report is written concisely, but clearly organized.

In fact, ten days before the siege of Beidi, sporadic soldiers in Wushi Pass were infected with symptoms similar to wind and cold.The northern region is cold in spring, and the climate this spring is hot and cold again and again, so Hu Changcheng didn't care at first.However, this "wind and cold" soon swept through the entire Wushiguan. In just five or six days, seven or eight people in Wushiguan could not afford the disease.

Hu Changcheng realized that this was not an ordinary wind and cold. He suspected that there was a plague in the army, so he immediately ordered the entire Wushi Pass to be sealed off, and sent a secret report to Xu Ye, the Jiedu envoy of Yunzhou, to report the matter overnight.

However, Wushiguan had not waited for food and medicine reinforcements from Yunzhou, but it had waited for Beidi's [-] troops first.

There is no call to action, no challenge before the battle, not even temptations and feints.Beidi made a surprise attack in the middle of the night, and they came out in full force that night. They used all the fire, thunder and trebuchets, and they were determined to take Wushiguan in one fell swoop.

Hu Changcheng led the remaining two adults to fight fiercely for a day and a night. All the sick soldiers in Wushiguan who could get out of bed all went to the top of the city, and finally tried their best to keep the city gate intact.

But this battle was a disastrous victory. Most of the personnel and ordnance closed were damaged. Wushiguan was already crumbling in the wind, and it was difficult to stop Beidi's next wave of offensive.

On the one hand, Hu Changcheng sent a message to the Yunzhou Army to request reinforcements, and on the other hand, he called a meeting with the generals of Guanshang to discuss the next step.

Although it was not stated in the battle report, Ye Qinghuai also imagined that there should be two roads before Hu Changcheng at that time.

One is to abandon Wushiguan, lead the army to retreat to the south bank of Baishui River, and join the defenders on the south bank.One is to fight to the death in Wushiguan where the epidemic is rampant.

In this regard, Hu Changcheng only had a short conclusion in the battle report: On the night of April 23, the [-] people above Wushiguan decided to stick to it and blow up the main road behind the pass.

Wushiguan is located on the edge of the Baishan Rift Valley, which is hundreds of miles long and bottomless, like a moat split by the gods with a giant axe.If Beidi wants to go south to Yunzhou from the snowfield in the north, it must cross the Baishan rift.Wushiguan was built on the north cliff mouth of the Baishan Rift Valley. Behind the towering Guanfang are two trestle bridges that can accommodate eight carriages in parallel. In the valley with a height of hundreds of feet, it is majestic and majestic, and it is amazing.

Wushiguan was built during the reign of the founding emperor Ye Yunhan, and it took more than ten years to complete its current appearance. It can be said that it has gathered the wisdom and manpower of the entire Ministry of Industry in Dajing.Although there is more than one bridge in the Baishan Rift Valley, this Wushi Bridge is the only one that can transport armaments and horses.

Because of this, Wushiguan can be said to be a veritable gateway to the north of Dajing to defend against foreign enemies.

When Hu Changcheng blew up the Wushi Bridge, he cut himself off, never thinking of surviving.

The battle report ended here, but there was still a piece of paper with a different style from the memorial, which was darker yellow than the paper of the memorial, folded twice, and a little wrinkled.

Ye Qinghuai pulled out the paper and opened it.

It was a certificate of life and death, which stated that he would live and die with Wushiguan, and agreed to blow up Wushiqiao behind him.There are many names with different handwritings densely signed below.

Ye Qinghuai scanned them one by one, and there were exactly 23 names including Hu Changcheng.

These people should all be dead by now.These handwriting should be their last words.

Ye Qinghuai's dignified expression darkened again.Then, she saw that there was a folded section under the paper.

She opened it and saw Hu Changcheng wrote a line below——

The loss of Wushi is the fault of the last general.As a guard, Cheng Cheng failed to clearly observe the end of Qingping, and he really owed the grace of the saints. Although he cannot escape his crime, he has no face to survive in the world.However, there are five thousand soldiers in Guanzhong, no one is afraid of the safety of the family and the country, and none of them is timid.

This battle report of nearly a thousand characters is full of straightforward statements, only the last two lines are what Hu Changcheng said for himself.

To be precise, it was said by these soldiers who died in the pass.

He did not ask the emperor to forgive himself, but only asked the emperor to forgive his subordinates.

Ye Qinghuai read it for a long time before handing the letter of war to Li Baoquan, motioning him to pass it on to several ministers.

Sure enough, several veteran ministers looked at each other after seeing it, with heavy expressions on their faces.

"Qingchang, is the Wushi Bridge really blown up? Is there any possibility of it being repaired quickly?" Gu Shihai immediately asked He Qingchang after watching it.
