Help!Master Chief Assistant's Jiaojiao is a black widow

Chapter 214 Test the Army's Spirit
Zhang Xian had already made all the preparations, but he did not expect that King Ning did not punish himself, but came to reward the army instead, which made him difficult.

Killing the prince rashly, I am afraid that the generals will not submit to him.

He had no choice but to order someone to hold a banquet and distribute the fine wine brought by the imperial envoys.

Hua Rujin followed Zhu Zhiye closely, for fear that he would do something reckless.

During the banquet, Hua Rujin took advantage of the gap when no one was paying attention, and told King Ning not to mention anything about Mobei's military.

Just as Hua Rujin expected, the Tongzhou army is not all greedy for life and afraid of death, but the army's orders are hard to break, and they have been defeated in battles. Seeing their comrades-in-arms trapped in Xinzhou City and unable to go to the rescue, the anger in their hearts has long been unbearable.

Halfway through the banquet, several generals risked their lives to come forward and said in unison: "Your Highness, our army has suffered disastrous defeats one after another, leading to the fall of Datong Mansion and the siege of Xinzhou City. Your Majesty will not blame you. It makes us ashamed. I implore Your Highness to kiss you." Leading an army to aid Xinzhou, I will swear to the death to follow His Highness to break through the Yanmen Pass, and we will be ashamed."

Watching several generals come forward to petition, both Zhang Xian and Zhao Heng showed displeasure.

Wei Shuhan was drinking wine carelessly at the side, noticing the embarrassment on Zhang Xian and Zhao Heng's faces, he smiled as if nothing had happened: "It's a blessing for the court to be brave after you generals, but no one knows the situation in Xinzhou City right now, I think How easy is it to break Yanmen Pass?"

After being reminded by Hua Rujin just now, Zhu Zhiye didn't dare to be careless at this time, looked at Zhang Xian with a smile, and asked, "What's the opinion of Chief Superintendent Zhang?"

"Hey, General Ye is eager to make great contributions. He went in alone without discussing with the old minister. Not only did he implicate the whole army, but also caused the court to lose the throat fortress of Datong Mansion. Now the old minister retreats to Fenzhou, which is really helpless."

Taking advantage of the situation, Zhang Xian put the blame on Ye Chengwei: "Before the New Year's Eve, the old minister heard that Hu Kemo had occupied Tongzhou Mansion and sent 30 troops to surround Xinzhou City. Sheng, for today's plan, we should use defense as offense to be invincible."

Hua Rujin was extremely depressed when he heard that, he expected that Ye Chengwei would not be able to break out from Xinzhou this time, so he put all the blame on him.

It's really cunning and cunning.

"General Ye is young and energetic, so he is inevitably a little impulsive."

Hua Rujin also suppressed the anger in her heart, and gestured to Zhu Zhiye with a smile: "Your Highness, Commander Zhang can't understand the military situation in Mobei very well. He has guarded Datong for these years so that the enemy army does not dare to violate the ban at all, so he knows it well." The way to defend against the enemy is to listen to the commander-in-chief's policy and stick to Fenzhou."

These flattering words made Zhang Xian's face full of glory, and the arrogance gradually appeared on his face.

Those generals who were dissatisfied couldn't restrain their inner anger at this moment, and they cursed at Hua Rujin: "Where did you come from such a witch who doesn't know the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth, how can you let a mere girl guide the military and state affairs."

"Don't be rude."

Zhang Xian immediately felt protective towards this woman: "This young lady came with His Highness, she is naturally a distinguished guest beside His Highness, how can you be presumptuous."

"Your Highness, Zhang Xian has supported the bandits all these years. Instead of building an inch of merit, he has implicated the entire army. When Ye Shuai first came to Mobei, he defeated the enemy with a mere 15 soldiers and fled. The [-] soldiers of the state and I not only failed to break through A small Shuozhou, and the loss of Tongzhou, is all because of Zhang Xian's misuse of the country."

General Han Wei has long been dissatisfied with Zhang Xian and Zhao Heng. He thought that King Ning came to hope for a savior who could lead everyone to avenge their shame, but he never thought that the woman next to him would dare to confuse the crowd and disturb the morale of the army. It is really shocking. angry.

With the heart of dying, Han Wei begged loudly: "At the end of today, I will boldly beg Your Highness to replace Zhang Xian, so as to strengthen our army."

Under his leadership, several other generals also came out to echo him.

Zhu Zhiye glanced at the generals present, most of them remained silent, recalling Hua Rujin's exhortations, he did not dare to act rashly, pointed at Hua Rujin and said with a slow and generous smile: "This Miss Hua is the Commander-in-Chief of Luo Her daughter is also a staff member of this king's account, her words are my king's words, and the enemy's situation is unknown at the moment, it is indeed the best policy to stick to it."

Zhang Xian knew that Hua Rujin was Luo Chuhuai's daughter, so he immediately relaxed his vigilance, and glared at Han Wei and the others in dissatisfaction: "Hurry up and back down."

"Your Highness, Zhang Xian has wronged the country, please punish Zhang Xian and Zhao Heng, and send troops to help Xinzhou immediately."

Han Wei refused to let go, and continued to plead.

"Han Wei, you have deceived the people with your demonic words and disturbed our army's morale. Do you really think I dare not punish you?"

Zhang Xian couldn't bear it anymore, and angrily yelled at the kneeling generals.

"Press it down, press it down."

Wei Shuhan didn't think it was a big deal, he said to Zhu Zhiye: "Your Highness, when you first arrived in Mobei, you can't listen to slander, cause the generals to lose peace, and fall into the enemy's tricks, maybe it's the Tartars' tricks. A strategy to disrupt the morale of the army."

Although Zhu Zhiye was aware of the loyalty of Han Wei and the others, he had no choice but to wave his hands and ask some generals to be imprisoned.

Zhang Xian was secretly delighted, and after the banquet was over, he personally escorted King Ning and his party back to the posthouse to settle down.

After Queen Ning settled down, she called Hua Rujin out again, and thanked her alone: ​​"Miss Hua, thank you for helping me out of the siege today, and I will never forget Miss Hua's kindness today."

"The governor's words are serious. I just think that the governor is loyal to protect the country, and I can't bear the painstaking efforts of the governor to be misunderstood."

Hua Rujin flattered her conscience, and then said: "Furthermore, my father appreciates the governor very much, both in public and in private, a little girl should look to the governor."

"I heard that your father has passed away, so I would like to ask Miss Hua to express my condolences."

Zhang Xian was relieved, and wanted to confirm the situation in Beijing, he asked tentatively: "I also heard that King Fu and King Yun were imprisoned by His Majesty, I wonder if this is true?"

"The two His Majesties have filled their own pockets these years, which makes His Majesty feel chilled. It is just a small warning from His Majesty to the two Highnesses. Presumably, it will not be long before they will be given important tasks again."

Hua Rujin coaxed.

This place is thousands of miles away from Jinling City, and he and King Ning galloped all the way, and tried to intercept the news again, presumably it would take some time before the news in Beijing reached Fenzhou City no matter how quickly.

"That's good, that's good."

Zhang Xian's hanging heart finally fell to the ground, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions on the surface, so he could only secretly send someone to inquire again.

"The governor should go back to the mansion earlier to rest."

Hua Rujin reminded: "Although His Royal Highness Ning Wang came to the border to practice, he will return to Beijing sooner or later. The governor still has to make more military exploits while His Highness is in the army, so as not to let His Highness steal the credit. You I also know that His Highness is young and energetic, but before he left, he boasted to His Majesty that he would take back Datong Mansion himself."

"Miss Hua reminded me."

Zhang Xian knew very well that the emperor's sending a prince to the border would not be as simple as rewarding the army. If he couldn't make achievements, he would have no way out sooner or later.

After saying goodbye to Hua Rujin, he returned home and began to discuss countermeasures with everyone.
