My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 228 The Supreme Emperor has a purpose

On an official road that can accommodate four carriages traveling side by side, dozens of horses are rushing forward.

The leaders were two eunuchs wearing sapphire blue eunuch costumes, and the people following them could clearly be seen as two groups of people.

One group was cavalry wearing golden armor, while the other group was also cavalry, but they were wearing flying fish uniforms.

Anyone who is familiar with Shenjing's senior management will definitely be amazed when they see it.

Because these two groups of people are Jinjiawei and Jinyiwei respectively.

This is not the most important thing. The important thing is that the two headed eunuchs are Xia Shouzhong, the general manager of Longshou Palace, and Dai Quan, the general manager of Daming Palace.

This is interesting. Xia Shouzhong, who represents the Supreme Emperor, and Dai Quan, who represents the emperor, actually appear in the same team.

Perhaps because they had been traveling for too long, their clothes were all covered in dust and their faces were dirty.

Taking advantage of the break in the hurry, Dai Quan took out a water bag from his waist and took a sip of water. He turned to look at Xia Shouzhong not far away, with a trace of surprise in his eyes.

On the battlefield, thick white smoke filled the air, and the roar of artillery was deafening.

The artillery on the Huben camp kept pouring out tongues of fire, sending the charging infantry flying in all directions.

"Well... that's..." Dai Quan was stunned for a moment, listened attentively, and planned to distinguish the sound again, but Xia Shouzhong next to him suddenly changed his expression and blurted out.

Seeing this pavilion means that we are only ten miles away from Yangzhou City. We can enter the city in half an hour. "A Jin Yiwei pointed forward and said with a hint of surprise.

A quarter of an hour later, Dai Quan and Xia Shouzhong finally arrived at the edge of the battlefield and saw a sight they would never forget.

Both of them have been in the palace for most of their lives. They have seen a lot of tricks such as hiding a knife behind a smile and being duplicitous. Even if they are angry in their hearts, they don't show it at all on the surface.

"Manager Dai, if you look at our family like this, is there something dirty on our face?"

The battlefield was littered with corpses, scattered with weapons and flags.

Manager Dai, didn't you rush to Yangzhou with all your might with our family because of Fourth Master's matter? "

"Both of us are our own masters."

Especially Emperor Changping, whose trump cards were not as many as his own.

Dai Quan was so frightened that his voice changed. After screaming, he quickly galloped away in the direction of the sound of cannons. Xia Shouzhong did not dare to neglect, and hit the horse's buttocks with a whip. He twitched once and clamped the horse's belly tightly. The war horse let out a long neigh and quickly followed.

After the Battle of Tongguan, both Jia Yu and Huben Ying became recognized as famous generals and elite troops in the Great Xia Dynasty. If they really got involved with the Jiangnan Camp and caused excessive losses, he would be heartbroken to death.

The Supreme Emperor naturally has the same mentality. The Jiangnan Camp is his most important support for controlling Jiangnan. Once the Jiangnan Camp is gone, his control over Jiangnan will plummet.

Dai Quan's face froze when he heard this. What he was most worried about happened.

"The Forward Battalion and Xiaoyi Battalion prepare, and the Blue Wind Battalion and Warrior Battalion retreat!

"Great."

"This old guy actually doesn't even want to call you Your Majesty?"

"Manager Dai, have you seen the pavilion in front of you? This is the farewell pavilion in the western suburbs of Yangzhou.

Now, in order to stop the war between the two sides, the two emperors need to issue imperial edicts to restrain their respective troops.

This old guy is in such good spirits. It has been seven or eight days since they set out from Shenjing together, taking a boat and riding a horse.

This may be the sadness of the two suns in the sky. They are obviously troops from the Great Xia Dynasty, and the two people leading the troops are also ministers of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Dai Quan smiled when he heard this. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a faint roar coming from the front.

When Dai Quan looked at him like this, Xia Shouzhong immediately noticed his gaze. He turned his head to look at him almost at the same time, grinned, and showed a pair of white teeth on his dusty face.

Even ordinary young people can't stand such an intense journey, but this old man is clearly past his sixties, and he can still persevere. It's really impressive.

Although the two people with their own evil intentions were fighting each other, their speed did not slow down at all.

Huben Camp and Jiangnan Camp really started to fight. No matter who the two sides were defeated, it would be the loss of Daxia.

"Quick...speed up, let's rush over...we must make them stop!"

"No...that's the sound of artillery and gunfire. They've already started fighting. Let's get over there quickly!"

"This old guy is so awesome."

On the smoke-filled battlefield, countless soldiers from the Jiangnan Camp were charging towards the Huben Camp in a fan shape.

Dai Quan was secretly surprised, but with a smile on his face: "Mr. You feel distressed."

Their first priority now is to rush to Yangzhou as quickly as possible and stop the war in time.

Both the Jiangnan Camp and the Huben Camp were the darlings of Emperor Changping and the Supreme Emperor, and any heavy losses suffered by either side would make them feel heartache.

Tell them that if the archers press forward, they must suppress the fire blunderbuss on the opposite side. They can no longer let them fire so unscrupulously! "

Every scream was accompanied by the fall of an infantryman, but this did not stop the officers from still driving the soldiers of the Jiangnan Camp to continue charging forward.

Xia Shouzhong said calmly: "Since the Supreme Emperor has his destiny to eat the emperor's salary and be loyal to the emperor, our family must work hard to complete it.

At the same time, the musketeers in the phalanx of musketeers, who kept flashing with light, rained bullets on each other.

In view of this, after discussing with Emperor Changping that night, they both agreed to send people to Yangzhou quickly to stop this war from happening.

Dai Quan was furious, a gloomy look flashed across his face, but he burst into laughter.

Behind the Jiangnan camp, red-eyed Lu Peiyi kept giving orders.

Under the command of Lu Peiyi, teams with heavy casualties were removed and replaced by other new forces.

The war has reached this point, and both sides have become red-blooded.

In the center of the Huben army, Jia Yu stood on a high ground, holding a telescope to observe the battle situation and constantly giving orders.

“The third sentry came forward to reinforce the right wing, and the fifth sentry came forward to reinforce the left wing.

The first and second sentries temporarily retreated to replenish ammunition and let the barrels cool down..."

So far, the battle has been going on for less than half an hour. Although at the beginning, the Huben Battalion took advantage of the artillery and muskets and Lu Peiyi's contempt for the Huben Battalion to catch the opponent off guard and severely damaged the opponent's cavalry battalion.

But then the enraged Lu Peiyi began to command the entire army to attack Huben Camp.

The Huben camp's musketry naturally took advantage of this battle, but Lu Peiyi was not a vegetarian. He commanded the remaining 17,000 infantry and began to launch successive attacks on the Huben camp. Moreover, Lu Peiyi was not a vegetarian. After realizing the power of muskets, they also changed their tactics and fighting methods.

Soon, the infantry of Jiangnan Camp rolled out large carts. These carts were seven feet six high, nine feet two long, and four feet three wide. The carts were filled with soil and debris.

The infantry hid behind the cart and slowly pressed towards the Huben camp. Although the musketeers shot at the cart desperately.

Although the lead bullets made a "pop" sound on the cart, the soft lead bullets could not penetrate the cart filled with soil.

Seeing the Jiangnan camp approaching, Jia Yu decisively ordered the artillery battalion to quickly replace it with solid ammunition and give priority to firing at the cart.

When the artillery battalion changed the target onto the cart, the soldiers of the Jiangnan camp suffered.

Just as the carts were moving toward the Huben Camp firmly and slowly, a six-pound Napoleon cannon solid bullet accurately hit a cart filled with dirt.

Under the impact of the solid bullet flying at high speed, the body of the large car was instantly torn apart, and the fragments were flying everywhere.

The infantry hiding behind the cart seemed to be swept into the abyss by the flood and could not escape. Screams and explosions mixed together, echoing throughout the battlefield.

The projectiles that kept flying across the battlefield were like the merciless god of death, cutting sharp trajectories in the air and smashing the approaching carts into pieces.

Sawdust and soil intertwined and flew up, accompanied by splashing blood, shining dazzlingly in the sun.

The infantry, who thought they would be safe hiding behind the cart, were beaten to pieces by this sudden attack, which was horrific.

"Fuck...fuck it all for me!"

"No one is allowed to retreat!"

"Your Majesty has an order: Those who advance will live, and those who retreat will perish!"

Under the supervision of the officers, the remaining infantry still charged forward regardless of life and death, because both Lu Peiyi and the officers of the Jiangnan Camp believed that as long as they could break into the enemy's phalanx, Huben Camp would It will inevitably collapse.

Just when both sides were firing, Dai Quan, Xia Shouzhong and his party finally arrived.

Looking at the battlefield ahead with corpses strewn across the field and the sound of killings ringing loudly, Dai Quan turned pale with fear, and Xia Shouzhong's heart sank to the bottom.

"We're late!" Dai Quan couldn't help but lament.

"No...it's not too late..."

After all, Xia Shouzhong had eaten more than twenty years more than Dai Quan, and his reaction to this situation was much faster.

He immediately said loudly: "Okay, stop howling... It is only right to stop this war quickly.

You...quickly take out His Majesty's banner.

You go to the Jiangnan Camp with me. Mr. Dai, you go to the Huben Camp. We must make both sides stop immediately, otherwise the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty will not be able to spare us. "

"Our family knows."

Dai Quan took a deep breath and responded. He turned to a young eunuch behind him and said, "Little noble son... take out His Majesty's dragon flag!"

Then he said to the dozen or so imperial guards behind him: "Boys, do you have the guts to follow us? Let's go to the Huben Camp together!"

Everyone knew that if the dozen of them rashly entered a battlefield where tens of thousands of people were fighting, they would be in danger of losing their lives at any time.

It would be a lie to say that these Jin Yiwei were not afraid, but when things came to a close, no one could back down. Everyone said in unison: "I am willing to make great achievements with the manager!"

Dai Quan laughed loudly, "Good boy, we did not misjudge you. As long as our family does not die, after returning to Shenjing, we will personally ask for your credit from His Majesty.

Now, Xiao Guizi, hurry up and bring out His Majesty's dragon flag. Let's also learn from Changshan Zhao Zilong, let him advance seven times... Ah, bah... let him enter the enemy with an attack... It's not right either.

Forget it, stop talking and just follow our family..."

After saying that, Dai Quan took the lead in riding his horse towards the direction of Huben Camp. Behind him were the little devils and more than a dozen imperial guards holding the dragon flag high.

It stands to reason that more than a dozen people rushing into the battlefield is like a handful of pepper noodles thrown into a river, unable to create any waves at all.

But as luck would have it, our Mr. Jia happens to be equipped with a high-resolution telescope.

Jia Yu, who was observing the battlefield situation from the high platform, soon discovered that an unusual group of people seemed to have suddenly broken into the front on the left.

Different from the traditional red military uniforms of the Great Xia Dynasty, these people were wearing blue eunuch uniforms and red and yellow flying fish uniforms. The most important thing was that one of the eunuchs was actually holding a flag high.

Look at that flag again... holy shit... it's actually a five-clawed dragon flag!

In the Great Xia Dynasty, except for the emperor, no one dared to use the five-clawed dragon flag. If anyone saw it, it would kill the nine tribes.

Anyone who dares to fly the five-clawed dragon flag, except the emperor, can only use it if he represents the emperor's personal presence.

"Could it be..."

Jia Yu's heart tightened, and she quickly locked the group of people with her telescope, while her right hand kept adjusting the magnification of the telescope.

When he adjusted the multiplier to the maximum, he could barely see the appearance of the group.

"Hey... the leader seems to be... Dai... Dai Quan... why did he come here... bad..."

Seeing Dai Quan arriving, Jia Yu immediately realized that something was wrong.

He quickly turned around and shouted to Zhao Qiubai, the captain of his personal soldiers: "Go to the front left immediately and pick up Eunuch Dai Quan and the personal followers who came with him.

And you... quickly ordered the artillery battalion to stop firing. We must not hurt Dai Gonggong and his party! "

Just when Jia Yu discovered Dai Quan and his party and ordered the artillery camp to stop firing, Xia Shouzhong and his party also put up the dragon flag and headed towards the Jiangnan camp.

They galloped while shouting loudly, "The imperial decree has arrived...the Supreme Emperor has decreed...to cease the war immediately...the Supreme Emperor has decreed...to cease the war immediately..."

Thanks to the cold weapons used by the Jiangnan Camp, after seeing their group, the people from the Jiangnan Camp did not attack them. Soon a group of people came up and escorted them to Lupei. Where Yi is.

Lu Peiyi naturally knew Xia Shouzhong. They met more than 20 years ago when Lu Peiyi was still a deputy general.

"What... don't let us fight?"

Lu Peiyi's eyes widened, "Manager Xia, that's more than 50 million taels of silver. Do we really don't want it?"

"Master Lu, our family has passed down the decree of the Supreme Emperor. Could it be that you want to resist the decree?"

Xia Shouzhong's face darkened instantly...
