My diary of transcendence from the heavens
Chapter 118 Class 116 Zhang Chao?Give it a try!
Chapter 118 116. The teacher returns to the court?Give it a try!
In the tent, Zhao Xuanqi was sitting upright, ignoring the dusty eunuch in front of him. He looked down at the imperial edict brought by the eunuch and was a little dazed for a moment.
"The emperor is seriously ill, the government is in chaos, and the rear is unstable."
"Twelve gold medals, please ask me to withdraw my troops and go back?"
The eldest eunuch Mo was about 40 years old. He was very tall and rosy. He was an absolute confidant of Emperor Qinglong. Emperor Qinglong had been taken care of by him since he was a child.
With a sad look on his face, he replied respectfully: "Grand Master, that's true."
"More than a month ago, His Majesty contracted a serious illness and suddenly fell into a coma. Later, he was unable to handle state affairs. His body was getting weaker and weaker. It is estimated... that he may not be able to survive!"
The message he said was very important.
So much so that Zhao Xuanqi was frightened.
After only sending troops for half a year, the country was about to be overthrown, and yet we received such news.
However, Emperor Qinglong had always been in good health. He could jump around normally and was not sick at all. Why did he suddenly become seriously ill and was about to die?
Moreover, twelve gold medals.
Why does this plot look so much like Yue Fei?
He was confused for a moment, his mood was agitated, his face darkened, and he suddenly committed the crime.
He asked loudly: "Is this news true or false? What do you think, Your Majesty?"
The chief eunuch was so frightened by Zhao Xuanqi's violent reaction that he knelt on the ground, started crying, and kowtowed respectfully:
"Grand Master, Lord Wu An, I guarantee with my own life that this news is absolutely true, and there is no falsehood in it."
"The old slave is His Majesty's confidant and always takes care of His Majesty's life. This news is absolutely true and there is no falsehood at all. If the old slave tells a lie, the old slave would rather be killed by a thousand cuts!"
Zhao Xuanqi stared at the eunuch, and saw that he did not lie at all, and his heart sank even more.
There are two possibilities.
[-]: Emperor Qinglong is really seriously ill and has reached the point where there is no need to delay, and the rear is in turmoil.
Two: Emperor Qinglong pretended to be seriously ill, and even his trusted eunuchs were concealed from him. He had an ulterior conspiracy.
If the news is true and Emperor Qinglong is really seriously ill, since he has just taken over the throne and has not completely stabilized the government, and he is far away in another country, if there is no one to take charge of the rear, there will definitely be chaos in the rear!
If the news is false and Emperor Qinglong pretends to be seriously ill and orders his troops to retreat when the country is about to be overthrown, it is definitely a bad sign. Not only may the country's success be undone, but there may also be a shocking civil strife!
Regardless of whether this news is true or false, this is completely bad news!
Zhao Xuanqi was in a state of confusion.
I don’t know whether I should be sad or not.
After many years of companionship, he has always regarded Emperor Qinglong as his own disciple and son, and even delayed his own children's education in order to educate Emperor Qinglong...
If the news is true, then his dearest and most beloved disciple, the master of Zhongxing he trained, has fallen into critical illness...
If the news is false, the emperor pretended to be very close to him, but in fact he had a hidden edge and deceived himself. Now he wants to make such a death move at such a critical time. He is extremely stupid and will definitely do it. Those who are not good.
Now that this situation suddenly happened, Zhao Xuanqi didn't know what to do for a while.
Only those who are in the game can understand this complex emotion.
Should we withdraw our troops?
This most important choice lies before Zhao Xuanqi.
He sighed:
"Call the lieutenants of the army and a few scribes to come to the central army tent to discuss matters!"
This choice is not only the choice of Zhao Xuanqi, but also the choice of the entire Northern Wei Dynasty's southern expedition team.
Everyone's opinions must be solicited, otherwise a big mess may break out if not handled properly.
"As ordered!"
The cronies beside him slowly left.
Not long after, more than a dozen generals hurried to the Chinese army's tent. The gentlemen and counselors that Zhao Xuanqi had summoned before also arrived one after another.
They looked at Zhao Xuanqi sitting on the main seat with a dull face, which was so gloomy that it could drip with water, and they also guessed that something was wrong.
Judging from the people in the big tent, all the senior officials of the Northern Wei Dynasty's southern expedition have arrived. It is definitely not a good thing to be able to gather all the senior officials and the look on Lord Wu'an's face at this moment!
Therefore, one by one, the generals and the other counselors took their seats without making too much noise, and then waited for Zhao Xuanqi to speak.
"Everyone must have noticed that we have something very important to discuss this time."
Zhao Xuanqi spoke slowly.
Then he slowly told everyone the news about the great eunuch.
Tell everyone without missing a word.
The contents mentioned in the imperial edict, as well as the matter of the twelve gold medals, were fully stated.
"The country is about to be overthrown, and the cause of Qianqiu must be unified. How could His Majesty happen to be seriously ill? And there are still twelve gold medals, so urgent..."
The generals and counselors raised objections one after another.
There was a quarrel all of a sudden.
The entire camp became like a vegetable market and was extremely noisy.
Zhao Xuanqi saw this and committed the crime.
"quiet!"
"I didn't ask you to come over and quarrel this time."
"I'm not asking you to discuss whether this news is true or false. Let's treat it as true news. I just want to invite you to come over and discuss whether to withdraw the troops?"
Seeing Zhao Xuanqi getting angry, the tent instantly became quiet, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
But the calm was soon broken.
Immediately, a general stood up, clasped his fists and saluted, and said, "Jun Wu An, my subordinates believe that we cannot retreat."
"It won't be long before we can defeat the capital of Southern Zhao and complete the unification of the world..."
"How can we retreat when such a great cause is right in front of us?"
"Then we have been fighting in the south and north in the past six months, and we have conquered all over the place. Isn't it true that we have failed in our success?"
"Why are we fighting in the north and south? Why are we sleeping in the open air? Isn't it just for the reunification of the family and the country? We have such an easy achievement right in front of us. Wouldn't it be a fool to retreat!"
Other generals also stood up and continued to support this opinion.
Some generals with violent personalities even cursed:
"In my opinion, Your Majesty is definitely afraid of Lord Wu'an's great achievements, and is afraid that you will establish a new country after conquering the city. He is definitely not well-intentioned!"
"If we return to the Northern Wei Kingdom after retreating, we will definitely be deprived of military power, and you, Mr. Wu An, will definitely not end up well. You may live or die on the spot!"
"His Majesty is really ignorant. We have worked hard to fight for our country, but he doesn't believe us, and he doesn't believe Lord Wu An. We can't just go back like this!"
"We must conquer the Southern Zhao Kingdom and then go back. We cannot give up on this great undertaking. It is not certain whether we will have a chance next time!"
It can be seen that many of them do not believe that Emperor Qinglong is seriously ill. Emperor Qinglong is young and cannot be seriously ill. They all think that Emperor Qinglong must have some ulterior conspiracy and must not retreat.
Even if some of them believed that Emperor Qinglong was really seriously ill, they completely disagreed with the withdrawal of troops and could not let the past six months of military expeditions in the north and south go to waste.
Among these generals, more than [-]% of them do not agree to withdraw their troops. Even if Emperor Qinglong is seriously ill, he will not withdraw his troops. Even if he is not seriously ill, he will not withdraw his troops. He will not withdraw his troops anyway!
They are already eager to see through the military exploits of Po Guo.
But some people objected:
"My subordinates think we should withdraw our troops."
"If the news is true, His Majesty is seriously ill. If His Majesty dies and I don't retreat at all, without Lord Wu'an to manage the government, there will be chaos in the rear and Northern Wei. We are in an enemy country. Once we are cut off from food, this will be a fatal danger. "
"Even if the news is false, His Majesty pretended to be seriously ill and forced Wu An to return to the country. This is also the emperor's order. The emperor's order cannot be disobeyed. If Wu An disobeys this order, it is disobeying the king's order! Even if he conquers the enemy's country, he will never do it. Eat the good fruit.”
"Disobeying the emperor's orders has been a major crime since ancient times. So what if we conquer the enemy's country? Maybe not only will we have no military exploits, but we will end up disobeying the king's orders. We will suffer a lot and be imprisoned..."
"Only following His Majesty's orders, no matter what the outcome, is the best choice. Mr. Wu An will not make mistakes and will not follow the truth, so that he can protect himself wisely."
For a while, the two sides started a debate over whether they should withdraw their troops or not, and then fought to the death.
But it can be seen that more than [-]% of the people are unwilling to retreat. More than [-]% of these people are Zhao Xuanqi's cronies, and they are all the teams that Zhao Xuanqi personally pulled up.
The other [-]% of people who asked to withdraw their troops were mostly people trained by Emperor Qinglong over the years. They all hoped that Zhao Xuanqi could follow Emperor Qinglong's order and withdraw his troops and return home, or at worst, attack again next time.
Zhao Xuanqi was so noisy that his head was pounding.
He was not sure what was going on with Emperor Qinglong.
"Everything is quiet!"
As a result, the entire account became quiet.
The generals and counselors all stopped talking.
They knew that no matter how much they and others argued, it would have no effect. The real decision-making power rested with Lord Wu An, and only Lord Wu An had the final right to make the choice.
Even if Nou PoTian, the final decision will only be made by Wu Anjun. Wu Anjun has absolute faith in the army.
Everyone fell into silence. Their eyes were on Zhao Xuanqi, waiting for Zhao Xuanqi's choice. For a while, everyone was paying attention.
Zhao Xuanqi stood up and moved back and forth in the big tent, feeling very anxious in his heart.
Eventually he calmed down.
I am willing to believe in Emperor Qinglong.
He wants to trust his instincts.
After many years of getting along with him, he felt that Emperor Qinglong was not the kind of person who lied, nor was he the kind of person who was good at pretending.
Emperor Qinglong was kind.
He almost grew up watching Emperor Qinglong, and also trained him since childhood. If Emperor Qinglong is really scheming, then he is not a human, but a monster. This news is true!
Emperor Qinglong must be really seriously ill and has reached a very critical point, so he urged himself to go back.
If he didn't go back, if something unexpected happened to Emperor Qinglong who had just taken charge, there would be absolute chaos in the rear.
If something unexpected happens to the government and the food supply is cut off, and you and others are in an enemy country and are attacked from both inside and outside, they will definitely not end well.
The best choice is to return to preside over the government, stabilize the central government affairs, and stabilize people's hearts.
Taking a step back, Emperor Qinglong is really a monster. He has been able to pretend to be so perfect since he was a child. If the news that he is seriously ill is a fake news, he will have to go back if the person who comes this time is evil.
If the comer is not good, even if Zhao Xuanqi leads troops to conquer the enemy country, he will end up disobeying the king's order. If he makes a fuss in this regard, Zhao Xuanqi will not gain anything.
Only by withdrawing our troops can we stay true to our words and remain invincible.
Go back and take a look at the situation, make the perfect choice, seize the opportunity, take the initiative, and be in an invincible position!
No matter how you look at it, retreating is the best choice so that you don't make any mistakes.
Now that he is the master of great achievements, only by withdrawing his troops can he be safe.
If things really change, don’t blame yourself for being cruel!
Zhao Xuanqi stopped turning, suddenly stood still, closed his eyes, and said solemnly: "Retreat!"
"No way!"
Immediately, someone knelt down and solemnly requested: "Mr. Wu An, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The country is about to be destroyed. How can there be any reason to go back?" However, Zhao Xuanqi firmly said again: "Retreat and return to the country!"
His final choice was to retreat.
Facing these generals who were pleading and unwilling to retreat, he suddenly opened his eyes and said loudly:
"It's just a retreat, it's nothing."
"Who am I? I am your Lord Wu An."
"Since I can destroy the country once, I can destroy him a second time!"
"It's just a retreat this time. The worst thing is to come back next time and kill him a second time!"
Zhao Xuanqi's words were full of confidence.
It seems that in his mouth, destroying a country is a commonplace thing, as easy as drinking boiled water.
In the blink of an eye, the enemy country was wiped out!
In an instant, an army of millions was destroyed!
There are nineteen mountains and rivers in the Southern Zhao Kingdom, and hundreds of millions of people. It seems that they can be conquered and suppressed with a raise of their hands!
This magnanimity and self-confidence instantly conquered everyone present.
These generals and counselors reacted one after another. They understood the most sincere truth:
The person in front of me is Lord Wu An!
The unique Wu Anjun!
Ranked first in four liberal arts subjects.
He was born in poverty, ranked first in all four subjects of the imperial examination, and his poems seemed to come from the sky. He was hailed by the world as the real person of Wenquxing, and he dominated the world of liberal arts for decades.
Wu Ke is brave in the world.
He retreated to Beimang alone with millions of cavalry, and was able to defeat the uprising of the prodigal army with 30 elite troops. He even climbed over the snowy mountains and completed the impossible feat. He defeated the millions of coalition forces of the princes from two sides and killed [-] people.
Is there anything Wu Anjun can’t do?
What can't a god like Wu Anjun do?
If you retreat this time, come back and destroy them next time!
no big deal!
For a moment, all the generals were impressed, with a look of respect in their eyes. They did not dare to make any rebuttal. They all saluted, bowed their heads and said, "I obey, Mr. Wu An."
Suddenly, all sounds disappeared.
Later, Zhao Xuanqi led the army back to the court.
That's right, it's the class teacher returning to the court.
As for why Zhao Xuanqi didn't go back alone and let other trusted generals destroy the country here, it was so correct.
Ha ha.
This is a serious matter of destroying the country!
Hundreds of thousands of troops are outside, with such great military power, and such huge interests of destroying the country are in front of them.
Who can safely let other generals do it?
If once you have a disobedient heart and have other thoughts after conquering the enemy's country, it will be too late!
Unless Zhao Xuanqi does this kind of thing himself, he will not trust anyone at all.
Because in the face of huge interests, anyone can become a devil, especially these soldiers who are good at fighting.
If Zhao Xuanqi returns to the Northern Wei Kingdom for too long and leaves this army for too long, when these soldiers really capture the Southern Zhao Kingdom and gain countless benefits and resources, it will be one thing whether they recognize him or not.
Even if the chance of chaos breaking out was only one in [-], Zhao Xuanqi would not dare to gamble at all.
In his words:
At worst, I’ll just come back next time, it’s nothing!
Under the constraints of Zhao Xuanqi and other major generals, hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers from the Northern Wei Kingdom slowly moved northward, heading back towards the Northern Wei Kingdom.
However, before leaving, some generals were still sent to garrison here, and the surrendered soldiers and generals of the Southern Zhao Kingdom were ordered not to cause trouble. A small number of people were left to suppress the place, and the rest all withdrew.
Is Zhao Xuanqi really that dashing?
In fact, he is far from cool.
He was distraught.
Who can be willing to retreat like this?
His heart was filled with deep reluctance.
But there is no other way, retreating is the best option.
Zhao Xuanqi was riding a horse, looking at the mountains and rivers in the distance, and couldn't help but murmur to himself: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what is the situation with you?"
He seems to trust Emperor Qinglong, but people's hearts are complicated. Who can know what is going on?He doesn't want to fight with each other.
Just as he was talking like this, something happened again.
As for the Northern Wei Dynasty, the imperial court suddenly went into overdrive again and rushed for 800 miles. The Jin Yiwei command sent the messenger Bai Jian to deliver the letter and arrived here.
Bai Ren hurriedly brought a letter.
"Jun Wu An, this is a letter from Your Majesty and Princess Xiaoyao. You must receive it in person!"
Zhao Xuanqi looked at Bai Ren in surprise. He did not expect that Bai Ren would deliver the letter in person, and that Princess Xiaoyao and Emperor Qinglong would ask him to deliver the letter!
This was beyond Zhao Xuanqi's expectation.
Suddenly, he had an even worse premonition.
Open the letter and read it.
Aunt Xiaoyao mentioned something:
Emperor Qinglong was completely critically ill, and the imperial doctors had no way to save him. It was said that this was an incurable disease and he would not have many days to survive.
Emperor Qinglong has been paralyzed in bed these days. He could still speak for a few days at first, but now he can no longer speak at all, his mouth is hoarse and his mouth is dry.
While Emperor Qinglong was still able to express his meaning, Princess Xiaoyao stayed by her side and slowly wrote out Emperor Qinglong's meaning on this letter.
In his letter, Emperor Qinglong slowly expressed the meaning of his emperor in broken words:
The general meaning is that Emperor Qinglong completely trusted Zhao Xuanqi and told Zhao Xuanqi not to retreat but to conquer the enemy country.
We cannot let the hard work of all the soldiers and all the efforts of Zhao Xuanqi be wasted.
No matter what, Emperor Qinglong would trust Zhao Xuanqi. After he became seriously ill, he would send Bairen, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and Aunt Xiaoyao to jointly supervise state affairs and sit in the rear, so as to ensure that there would be no accidents in the rear logistics and food, and that the government would not be in trouble. Accidents will occur.
Emperor Qinglong was willing to completely delegate all power to Zhao Xuanqi, and was willing to give all trust to Zhao Xuanqi. He hoped that Zhao Xuanqi would defeat the enemy and complete the great cause of reunification of the north and the south.
You can't give up on such an important thing just because the emperor is seriously ill. If you really retreat like this, Emperor Qinglong will not only not be happy, but he will also commit suicide in shame.
It also mentioned an important point. The reason why the twelve gold medals were issued to withdraw the troops before was not the opinion of Emperor Qinglong himself, but the opinion of Emperor Xiaoyao.
At that time, Emperor Qinglong suddenly fell into a coma and did not wake up for several days. He was extremely ill and had no one to handle the affairs of the government. He was about to die.
As a housewife, Princess Xiaoyao had no opinions at all and didn't have many opinions. She was extremely worried and couldn't think of any ideas. She only thought of Zhao Xuanqi at the critical moment.
So, in panic, she was grasping at straws, and then she took the initiative and sent out twelve gold medals to order Zhao Xuanqi to retreat.
These are women's opinions, not Emperor Qinglong's own opinions.
After Emperor Qinglong woke up, he realized that this order was wrong, so he immediately asked Bai Ren to bring the order to Zhao Xuanqi while he could still express his intention.
I hope that Zhao Xuanqi will definitely defeat the enemy country and complete this great undertaking. No matter what happens, Emperor Qinglong will not blame Zhao Xuanqi. I hope that Zhao Xuanqi will not worry about him and focus entirely on state affairs.
If you die, you will die. It is not a big deal. After all, everyone will die one day and encounter accidents one day. Death is just the ending for everyone.
But state affairs are very important. They concern thousands of generations, countless people, the design of the entire country, and the glory of the entire Han family. They must be unified.
Once he misses this opportunity and loses the good opportunity, resulting in the failure to complete the unification later, then he will be a sinner for thousands of years, and Zhao Xuanqi will also be cast aside. He does not want this to happen.
Therefore, Emperor Qinglong hoped that the teacher Zhao Xuanqi would not worry about himself, but focus on the national design and defeat the enemy's country.
By the way, Emperor Qinglong showed his concern for Zhao Xuanqi in his letter, asking whether Zhao Xuanqi had eaten well these days and whether he was feeling well. He hoped that Zhao Xuanqi would take care of himself and be healthy and safe.
Emperor Qinglong was worried about Zhao Xuanqi's physical damage due to working on state affairs, so he expressed his apologies to Zhao Xuanqi here.
Then he talked and said solemnly that it didn't matter if he really couldn't conquer the enemy country. The most important thing was to go back safely and not be harmed.
Finally, he expressed his apologies to Zhao Xuanqi at the end. His body really couldn't bear it. How he hoped to stabilize the country in the rear and stabilize the logistics, so that Zhao Xuanqi could go out without any worries and attack the enemy country with all his strength. , instead of letting the teacher fight in the front and worry about the rear, he was very sorry.
Emperor Qinglong especially hoped that Zhao Xuanqi could return in triumph, and then he could go out of the city hundreds of miles to greet him in person, but now it seems that he is afraid that he can't do it. He hopes that Zhao Xuanqi will forgive his disciple's rudeness.
He also expressed regret for Zhao Xuanqi. He could not let Zhao Xuanqi personally host his wedding. Now he is afraid that he will miss the appointment with Zhao Xuanqi. He hopes that the teacher Zhao Xuanqi can forgive him.
Then came a lot of greetings. As a disciple, Emperor Qinglong wished Zhao Xuanqi good health and a triumphant return. His words were gentle and full of kindness.
"..."
Zhao Xuanqi looked at the letter.
My hands are shaking for some reason.
He looked at the end of the letter. Emperor Qinglong had been sending greetings to him, hoping that he would take care of his health and that he would always be healthy.
It looks like a greeting, it looks like a greeting, and it looks like a daily greeting, but the tone and tone are as if he is explaining the funeral arrangements!
That's right, this young emperor seems to be explaining his funeral arrangements.
Zhao Xuanqi vaguely seemed to see the former Emperor Jingming. He saw Emperor Jingming lying on the bed on that windy and snowy night, with a pair of fiery eyes embedded in his dry body, and those fiery eyes stared at him:
"How I wish I could live another 30 years, and then accompany you to conquer the world, recover the mountains and rivers together, eradicate all corrupt officials, do a great cause, and rejuvenate the country."
"But I can't do it anymore..."
Before that he was Emperor Jingming.
Now it is Emperor Qinglong.
"Destiny is fickle. He is clearly in his prime. Is he really going to die?"
"Why can't I believe it..."
Now, Zhao Xuanqi was in a daze. He saw too many emotions in this letter from Emperor Qinglong.
It's a pity that the text is too pale.
It can't carry too much emotion, it can't carry too much true meaning, it can only express tens of thousands of meanings.
The feelings of Emperor Qinglong, a young emperor, could not be carried on this fragile piece of paper, so that this piece of paper seemed particularly heavy.
Zhao Xuanqi was at the front of the army, sitting on the horse. He closed his eyes, sighed, and suddenly pulled the horse's rope hard!
"Shut up!"
The war horse roared fiercely and turned around suddenly. Zhao Xuanqi saw hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers behind him. Looking at these young faces, he suddenly shouted loudly:
"Turn around and follow me to attack the enemy country!"
"Destroy the capital of Southern Zhao and return in triumph!"
When the generals and soldiers heard this exciting news, they all let out deafening shouts, with great joy and joy.
Give it a try and conquer the enemy country!
The soldiers cheered and cheered, and these cheers covered up the hoarseness of Zhao Xuanqi's voice, so that no one noticed that when Zhao Xuanqi struggled to shout these two sentences, his voice was a little hoarse and trembling.
Please give me a monthly pass~
(End of this chapter)
In the tent, Zhao Xuanqi was sitting upright, ignoring the dusty eunuch in front of him. He looked down at the imperial edict brought by the eunuch and was a little dazed for a moment.
"The emperor is seriously ill, the government is in chaos, and the rear is unstable."
"Twelve gold medals, please ask me to withdraw my troops and go back?"
The eldest eunuch Mo was about 40 years old. He was very tall and rosy. He was an absolute confidant of Emperor Qinglong. Emperor Qinglong had been taken care of by him since he was a child.
With a sad look on his face, he replied respectfully: "Grand Master, that's true."
"More than a month ago, His Majesty contracted a serious illness and suddenly fell into a coma. Later, he was unable to handle state affairs. His body was getting weaker and weaker. It is estimated... that he may not be able to survive!"
The message he said was very important.
So much so that Zhao Xuanqi was frightened.
After only sending troops for half a year, the country was about to be overthrown, and yet we received such news.
However, Emperor Qinglong had always been in good health. He could jump around normally and was not sick at all. Why did he suddenly become seriously ill and was about to die?
Moreover, twelve gold medals.
Why does this plot look so much like Yue Fei?
He was confused for a moment, his mood was agitated, his face darkened, and he suddenly committed the crime.
He asked loudly: "Is this news true or false? What do you think, Your Majesty?"
The chief eunuch was so frightened by Zhao Xuanqi's violent reaction that he knelt on the ground, started crying, and kowtowed respectfully:
"Grand Master, Lord Wu An, I guarantee with my own life that this news is absolutely true, and there is no falsehood in it."
"The old slave is His Majesty's confidant and always takes care of His Majesty's life. This news is absolutely true and there is no falsehood at all. If the old slave tells a lie, the old slave would rather be killed by a thousand cuts!"
Zhao Xuanqi stared at the eunuch, and saw that he did not lie at all, and his heart sank even more.
There are two possibilities.

Zhao Xuanqi was in a state of confusion.
I don’t know whether I should be sad or not.
After many years of companionship, he has always regarded Emperor Qinglong as his own disciple and son, and even delayed his own children's education in order to educate Emperor Qinglong...

If the news is false, the emperor pretended to be very close to him, but in fact he had a hidden edge and deceived himself. Now he wants to make such a death move at such a critical time. He is extremely stupid and will definitely do it. Those who are not good.
Now that this situation suddenly happened, Zhao Xuanqi didn't know what to do for a while.
Only those who are in the game can understand this complex emotion.
Should we withdraw our troops?
This most important choice lies before Zhao Xuanqi.
He sighed:
"Call the lieutenants of the army and a few scribes to come to the central army tent to discuss matters!"
This choice is not only the choice of Zhao Xuanqi, but also the choice of the entire Northern Wei Dynasty's southern expedition team.
Everyone's opinions must be solicited, otherwise a big mess may break out if not handled properly.
"As ordered!"
The cronies beside him slowly left.
Not long after, more than a dozen generals hurried to the Chinese army's tent. The gentlemen and counselors that Zhao Xuanqi had summoned before also arrived one after another.
They looked at Zhao Xuanqi sitting on the main seat with a dull face, which was so gloomy that it could drip with water, and they also guessed that something was wrong.
Judging from the people in the big tent, all the senior officials of the Northern Wei Dynasty's southern expedition have arrived. It is definitely not a good thing to be able to gather all the senior officials and the look on Lord Wu'an's face at this moment!

There was a quarrel all of a sudden.
The entire camp became like a vegetable market and was extremely noisy.
Zhao Xuanqi saw this and committed the crime.
"quiet!"
"I didn't ask you to come over and quarrel this time."
"I'm not asking you to discuss whether this news is true or false. Let's treat it as true news. I just want to invite you to come over and discuss whether to withdraw the troops?"
Seeing Zhao Xuanqi getting angry, the tent instantly became quiet, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
But the calm was soon broken.
Immediately, a general stood up, clasped his fists and saluted, and said, "Jun Wu An, my subordinates believe that we cannot retreat."
"It won't be long before we can defeat the capital of Southern Zhao and complete the unification of the world..."
"How can we retreat when such a great cause is right in front of us?"
"Then we have been fighting in the south and north in the past six months, and we have conquered all over the place. Isn't it true that we have failed in our success?"
"Why are we fighting in the north and south? Why are we sleeping in the open air? Isn't it just for the reunification of the family and the country? We have such an easy achievement right in front of us. Wouldn't it be a fool to retreat!"
Other generals also stood up and continued to support this opinion.
Some generals with violent personalities even cursed:
"In my opinion, Your Majesty is definitely afraid of Lord Wu'an's great achievements, and is afraid that you will establish a new country after conquering the city. He is definitely not well-intentioned!"
"If we return to the Northern Wei Kingdom after retreating, we will definitely be deprived of military power, and you, Mr. Wu An, will definitely not end up well. You may live or die on the spot!"
"His Majesty is really ignorant. We have worked hard to fight for our country, but he doesn't believe us, and he doesn't believe Lord Wu An. We can't just go back like this!"
"We must conquer the Southern Zhao Kingdom and then go back. We cannot give up on this great undertaking. It is not certain whether we will have a chance next time!"
It can be seen that many of them do not believe that Emperor Qinglong is seriously ill. Emperor Qinglong is young and cannot be seriously ill. They all think that Emperor Qinglong must have some ulterior conspiracy and must not retreat.
Even if some of them believed that Emperor Qinglong was really seriously ill, they completely disagreed with the withdrawal of troops and could not let the past six months of military expeditions in the north and south go to waste.
Among these generals, more than [-]% of them do not agree to withdraw their troops. Even if Emperor Qinglong is seriously ill, he will not withdraw his troops. Even if he is not seriously ill, he will not withdraw his troops. He will not withdraw his troops anyway!
They are already eager to see through the military exploits of Po Guo.
But some people objected:
"My subordinates think we should withdraw our troops."
"If the news is true, His Majesty is seriously ill. If His Majesty dies and I don't retreat at all, without Lord Wu'an to manage the government, there will be chaos in the rear and Northern Wei. We are in an enemy country. Once we are cut off from food, this will be a fatal danger. "
"Even if the news is false, His Majesty pretended to be seriously ill and forced Wu An to return to the country. This is also the emperor's order. The emperor's order cannot be disobeyed. If Wu An disobeys this order, it is disobeying the king's order! Even if he conquers the enemy's country, he will never do it. Eat the good fruit.”
"Disobeying the emperor's orders has been a major crime since ancient times. So what if we conquer the enemy's country? Maybe not only will we have no military exploits, but we will end up disobeying the king's orders. We will suffer a lot and be imprisoned..."
"Only following His Majesty's orders, no matter what the outcome, is the best choice. Mr. Wu An will not make mistakes and will not follow the truth, so that he can protect himself wisely."
For a while, the two sides started a debate over whether they should withdraw their troops or not, and then fought to the death.
But it can be seen that more than [-]% of the people are unwilling to retreat. More than [-]% of these people are Zhao Xuanqi's cronies, and they are all the teams that Zhao Xuanqi personally pulled up.
The other [-]% of people who asked to withdraw their troops were mostly people trained by Emperor Qinglong over the years. They all hoped that Zhao Xuanqi could follow Emperor Qinglong's order and withdraw his troops and return home, or at worst, attack again next time.
Zhao Xuanqi was so noisy that his head was pounding.
He was not sure what was going on with Emperor Qinglong.
"Everything is quiet!"
As a result, the entire account became quiet.
The generals and counselors all stopped talking.
They knew that no matter how much they and others argued, it would have no effect. The real decision-making power rested with Lord Wu An, and only Lord Wu An had the final right to make the choice.
Even if Nou PoTian, the final decision will only be made by Wu Anjun. Wu Anjun has absolute faith in the army.
Everyone fell into silence. Their eyes were on Zhao Xuanqi, waiting for Zhao Xuanqi's choice. For a while, everyone was paying attention.
Zhao Xuanqi stood up and moved back and forth in the big tent, feeling very anxious in his heart.
Eventually he calmed down.
I am willing to believe in Emperor Qinglong.
He wants to trust his instincts.
After many years of getting along with him, he felt that Emperor Qinglong was not the kind of person who lied, nor was he the kind of person who was good at pretending.
Emperor Qinglong was kind.
He almost grew up watching Emperor Qinglong, and also trained him since childhood. If Emperor Qinglong is really scheming, then he is not a human, but a monster. This news is true!
Emperor Qinglong must be really seriously ill and has reached a very critical point, so he urged himself to go back.
If he didn't go back, if something unexpected happened to Emperor Qinglong who had just taken charge, there would be absolute chaos in the rear.
If something unexpected happens to the government and the food supply is cut off, and you and others are in an enemy country and are attacked from both inside and outside, they will definitely not end well.
The best choice is to return to preside over the government, stabilize the central government affairs, and stabilize people's hearts.
Taking a step back, Emperor Qinglong is really a monster. He has been able to pretend to be so perfect since he was a child. If the news that he is seriously ill is a fake news, he will have to go back if the person who comes this time is evil.
If the comer is not good, even if Zhao Xuanqi leads troops to conquer the enemy country, he will end up disobeying the king's order. If he makes a fuss in this regard, Zhao Xuanqi will not gain anything.
Only by withdrawing our troops can we stay true to our words and remain invincible.
Go back and take a look at the situation, make the perfect choice, seize the opportunity, take the initiative, and be in an invincible position!
No matter how you look at it, retreating is the best choice so that you don't make any mistakes.
Now that he is the master of great achievements, only by withdrawing his troops can he be safe.
If things really change, don’t blame yourself for being cruel!
Zhao Xuanqi stopped turning, suddenly stood still, closed his eyes, and said solemnly: "Retreat!"
"No way!"
Immediately, someone knelt down and solemnly requested: "Mr. Wu An, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The country is about to be destroyed. How can there be any reason to go back?" However, Zhao Xuanqi firmly said again: "Retreat and return to the country!"
His final choice was to retreat.
Facing these generals who were pleading and unwilling to retreat, he suddenly opened his eyes and said loudly:
"It's just a retreat, it's nothing."
"Who am I? I am your Lord Wu An."
"Since I can destroy the country once, I can destroy him a second time!"
"It's just a retreat this time. The worst thing is to come back next time and kill him a second time!"
Zhao Xuanqi's words were full of confidence.
It seems that in his mouth, destroying a country is a commonplace thing, as easy as drinking boiled water.
In the blink of an eye, the enemy country was wiped out!
In an instant, an army of millions was destroyed!
There are nineteen mountains and rivers in the Southern Zhao Kingdom, and hundreds of millions of people. It seems that they can be conquered and suppressed with a raise of their hands!
This magnanimity and self-confidence instantly conquered everyone present.
These generals and counselors reacted one after another. They understood the most sincere truth:
The person in front of me is Lord Wu An!
The unique Wu Anjun!
Ranked first in four liberal arts subjects.
He was born in poverty, ranked first in all four subjects of the imperial examination, and his poems seemed to come from the sky. He was hailed by the world as the real person of Wenquxing, and he dominated the world of liberal arts for decades.
Wu Ke is brave in the world.
He retreated to Beimang alone with millions of cavalry, and was able to defeat the uprising of the prodigal army with 30 elite troops. He even climbed over the snowy mountains and completed the impossible feat. He defeated the millions of coalition forces of the princes from two sides and killed [-] people.
Is there anything Wu Anjun can’t do?
What can't a god like Wu Anjun do?
If you retreat this time, come back and destroy them next time!
no big deal!
For a moment, all the generals were impressed, with a look of respect in their eyes. They did not dare to make any rebuttal. They all saluted, bowed their heads and said, "I obey, Mr. Wu An."
Suddenly, all sounds disappeared.
Later, Zhao Xuanqi led the army back to the court.
That's right, it's the class teacher returning to the court.
As for why Zhao Xuanqi didn't go back alone and let other trusted generals destroy the country here, it was so correct.
Ha ha.
This is a serious matter of destroying the country!
Hundreds of thousands of troops are outside, with such great military power, and such huge interests of destroying the country are in front of them.
Who can safely let other generals do it?
If once you have a disobedient heart and have other thoughts after conquering the enemy's country, it will be too late!
Unless Zhao Xuanqi does this kind of thing himself, he will not trust anyone at all.
Because in the face of huge interests, anyone can become a devil, especially these soldiers who are good at fighting.
If Zhao Xuanqi returns to the Northern Wei Kingdom for too long and leaves this army for too long, when these soldiers really capture the Southern Zhao Kingdom and gain countless benefits and resources, it will be one thing whether they recognize him or not.
Even if the chance of chaos breaking out was only one in [-], Zhao Xuanqi would not dare to gamble at all.
In his words:
At worst, I’ll just come back next time, it’s nothing!
Under the constraints of Zhao Xuanqi and other major generals, hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers from the Northern Wei Kingdom slowly moved northward, heading back towards the Northern Wei Kingdom.
However, before leaving, some generals were still sent to garrison here, and the surrendered soldiers and generals of the Southern Zhao Kingdom were ordered not to cause trouble. A small number of people were left to suppress the place, and the rest all withdrew.
Is Zhao Xuanqi really that dashing?
In fact, he is far from cool.
He was distraught.
Who can be willing to retreat like this?
His heart was filled with deep reluctance.
But there is no other way, retreating is the best option.
Zhao Xuanqi was riding a horse, looking at the mountains and rivers in the distance, and couldn't help but murmur to himself: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what is the situation with you?"
He seems to trust Emperor Qinglong, but people's hearts are complicated. Who can know what is going on?He doesn't want to fight with each other.
Just as he was talking like this, something happened again.
As for the Northern Wei Dynasty, the imperial court suddenly went into overdrive again and rushed for 800 miles. The Jin Yiwei command sent the messenger Bai Jian to deliver the letter and arrived here.
Bai Ren hurriedly brought a letter.
"Jun Wu An, this is a letter from Your Majesty and Princess Xiaoyao. You must receive it in person!"
Zhao Xuanqi looked at Bai Ren in surprise. He did not expect that Bai Ren would deliver the letter in person, and that Princess Xiaoyao and Emperor Qinglong would ask him to deliver the letter!
This was beyond Zhao Xuanqi's expectation.
Suddenly, he had an even worse premonition.
Open the letter and read it.
Aunt Xiaoyao mentioned something:
Emperor Qinglong was completely critically ill, and the imperial doctors had no way to save him. It was said that this was an incurable disease and he would not have many days to survive.
Emperor Qinglong has been paralyzed in bed these days. He could still speak for a few days at first, but now he can no longer speak at all, his mouth is hoarse and his mouth is dry.
While Emperor Qinglong was still able to express his meaning, Princess Xiaoyao stayed by her side and slowly wrote out Emperor Qinglong's meaning on this letter.
In his letter, Emperor Qinglong slowly expressed the meaning of his emperor in broken words:
The general meaning is that Emperor Qinglong completely trusted Zhao Xuanqi and told Zhao Xuanqi not to retreat but to conquer the enemy country.
We cannot let the hard work of all the soldiers and all the efforts of Zhao Xuanqi be wasted.
No matter what, Emperor Qinglong would trust Zhao Xuanqi. After he became seriously ill, he would send Bairen, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and Aunt Xiaoyao to jointly supervise state affairs and sit in the rear, so as to ensure that there would be no accidents in the rear logistics and food, and that the government would not be in trouble. Accidents will occur.
Emperor Qinglong was willing to completely delegate all power to Zhao Xuanqi, and was willing to give all trust to Zhao Xuanqi. He hoped that Zhao Xuanqi would defeat the enemy and complete the great cause of reunification of the north and the south.
You can't give up on such an important thing just because the emperor is seriously ill. If you really retreat like this, Emperor Qinglong will not only not be happy, but he will also commit suicide in shame.
It also mentioned an important point. The reason why the twelve gold medals were issued to withdraw the troops before was not the opinion of Emperor Qinglong himself, but the opinion of Emperor Xiaoyao.
At that time, Emperor Qinglong suddenly fell into a coma and did not wake up for several days. He was extremely ill and had no one to handle the affairs of the government. He was about to die.
As a housewife, Princess Xiaoyao had no opinions at all and didn't have many opinions. She was extremely worried and couldn't think of any ideas. She only thought of Zhao Xuanqi at the critical moment.
So, in panic, she was grasping at straws, and then she took the initiative and sent out twelve gold medals to order Zhao Xuanqi to retreat.
These are women's opinions, not Emperor Qinglong's own opinions.
After Emperor Qinglong woke up, he realized that this order was wrong, so he immediately asked Bai Ren to bring the order to Zhao Xuanqi while he could still express his intention.
I hope that Zhao Xuanqi will definitely defeat the enemy country and complete this great undertaking. No matter what happens, Emperor Qinglong will not blame Zhao Xuanqi. I hope that Zhao Xuanqi will not worry about him and focus entirely on state affairs.
If you die, you will die. It is not a big deal. After all, everyone will die one day and encounter accidents one day. Death is just the ending for everyone.
But state affairs are very important. They concern thousands of generations, countless people, the design of the entire country, and the glory of the entire Han family. They must be unified.
Once he misses this opportunity and loses the good opportunity, resulting in the failure to complete the unification later, then he will be a sinner for thousands of years, and Zhao Xuanqi will also be cast aside. He does not want this to happen.
Therefore, Emperor Qinglong hoped that the teacher Zhao Xuanqi would not worry about himself, but focus on the national design and defeat the enemy's country.
By the way, Emperor Qinglong showed his concern for Zhao Xuanqi in his letter, asking whether Zhao Xuanqi had eaten well these days and whether he was feeling well. He hoped that Zhao Xuanqi would take care of himself and be healthy and safe.
Emperor Qinglong was worried about Zhao Xuanqi's physical damage due to working on state affairs, so he expressed his apologies to Zhao Xuanqi here.
Then he talked and said solemnly that it didn't matter if he really couldn't conquer the enemy country. The most important thing was to go back safely and not be harmed.
Finally, he expressed his apologies to Zhao Xuanqi at the end. His body really couldn't bear it. How he hoped to stabilize the country in the rear and stabilize the logistics, so that Zhao Xuanqi could go out without any worries and attack the enemy country with all his strength. , instead of letting the teacher fight in the front and worry about the rear, he was very sorry.
Emperor Qinglong especially hoped that Zhao Xuanqi could return in triumph, and then he could go out of the city hundreds of miles to greet him in person, but now it seems that he is afraid that he can't do it. He hopes that Zhao Xuanqi will forgive his disciple's rudeness.
He also expressed regret for Zhao Xuanqi. He could not let Zhao Xuanqi personally host his wedding. Now he is afraid that he will miss the appointment with Zhao Xuanqi. He hopes that the teacher Zhao Xuanqi can forgive him.
Then came a lot of greetings. As a disciple, Emperor Qinglong wished Zhao Xuanqi good health and a triumphant return. His words were gentle and full of kindness.
"..."
Zhao Xuanqi looked at the letter.
My hands are shaking for some reason.
He looked at the end of the letter. Emperor Qinglong had been sending greetings to him, hoping that he would take care of his health and that he would always be healthy.
It looks like a greeting, it looks like a greeting, and it looks like a daily greeting, but the tone and tone are as if he is explaining the funeral arrangements!
That's right, this young emperor seems to be explaining his funeral arrangements.
Zhao Xuanqi vaguely seemed to see the former Emperor Jingming. He saw Emperor Jingming lying on the bed on that windy and snowy night, with a pair of fiery eyes embedded in his dry body, and those fiery eyes stared at him:
"How I wish I could live another 30 years, and then accompany you to conquer the world, recover the mountains and rivers together, eradicate all corrupt officials, do a great cause, and rejuvenate the country."
"But I can't do it anymore..."
Before that he was Emperor Jingming.
Now it is Emperor Qinglong.
"Destiny is fickle. He is clearly in his prime. Is he really going to die?"
"Why can't I believe it..."
Now, Zhao Xuanqi was in a daze. He saw too many emotions in this letter from Emperor Qinglong.
It's a pity that the text is too pale.
It can't carry too much emotion, it can't carry too much true meaning, it can only express tens of thousands of meanings.
The feelings of Emperor Qinglong, a young emperor, could not be carried on this fragile piece of paper, so that this piece of paper seemed particularly heavy.
Zhao Xuanqi was at the front of the army, sitting on the horse. He closed his eyes, sighed, and suddenly pulled the horse's rope hard!
"Shut up!"
The war horse roared fiercely and turned around suddenly. Zhao Xuanqi saw hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers behind him. Looking at these young faces, he suddenly shouted loudly:
"Turn around and follow me to attack the enemy country!"
"Destroy the capital of Southern Zhao and return in triumph!"
When the generals and soldiers heard this exciting news, they all let out deafening shouts, with great joy and joy.
Give it a try and conquer the enemy country!
The soldiers cheered and cheered, and these cheers covered up the hoarseness of Zhao Xuanqi's voice, so that no one noticed that when Zhao Xuanqi struggled to shout these two sentences, his voice was a little hoarse and trembling.
Please give me a monthly pass~
