ruffian mixed in ancient times

Chapter 532 "The Overlord Princess"

It was less than three months after the king ascended the throne, the war broke out when he returned to Manchuria, and the envoy was rejected by Ou Da, which made the king Jindian furious.

He appointed Ante, the former general of the Li family, as the general of Pingfan, and sent him back to Pingguan immediately.

In more than seven days, Ante arrived in Khobdo, Northwest China, and quickly led 20 troops to march towards Huiman.At the same time, he ordered the left and right vanguards to deploy to Beiting and Yizhou, while he personally led a strong division to attack Gaochang, the capital of Manchuria.

But back to full stubbornness, Puda has a deep understanding of the strategy, and the war broke out for three days.The two tiger wolf pioneers deployed in Beiting and Yizhou were successively defeated by Huiman.The plundered frontier changed hands repeatedly, so that in the end they retreated steadily, and had to retreat to the border to stick to it.

On the [-]th, Ante arrived in Gaochang, but was caught in an ambush from all sides. On the thirty-mile plateau in Gaochang, after several days of fierce fighting, the tens of thousands of archers could not attack because of the severe winter and the freezing weather. Pull the shot in time.As a result, he was beheaded and killed by the Manchu iron cavalry, and fell into a situation of isolation and helplessness because the vanguards on the two wings were defeated.Although Ante, who was struggling to fight the enemy, was brave, he failed in the end.The tens of thousands of soldiers in the whole army were almost wiped out, and the remaining [-] cavalry risked their lives to protect him and break out of the siege, so that they could survive.

The defeat of this battle caused the fighting spirit of the Tubo soldiers who were ordered to guard the four sides to suffer.

The admiral Hussar Yan Song, who was ordered to be stationed in Shantang, learned that Ante was defeated by Gaochang, and resolutely drove straight in. He was defeated in Datun City, Lop Nur, and Tarim from the rear. Having seized the military supplies, money and food, the rangers moved quickly. When Puda defeated Ante, they heard the news and hurried back to the rear. Yan Song had already wandered around Huiman and returned to Shantang to garrison.Only a few empty cities and a piece of scorched earth were left for Puda.

Three days later, the news of returning to Manchuria was reported to the royal court.Ah Zhen Jindian was furious.

"Kangdang"

The loud purple sand cup was smashed on the main hall by the uncle in the hall, and the civil and military ministers on both sides lowered their heads and kept silent. No one dared to say a word.

Ah Zhen's face was livid, and the flames in his angry eyes were burning fiercely. He looked around at his courtiers for a while, and then he drank heavily: "20 soldiers died and less than [-] died. What the hell is Ante doing?"

Cao Zong, who was trembling, saw that the king was so angry, and thought that his 20 tiger divisions in Tubo had almost been wiped out in half a month. Return to the court."

Seeing that Cao Shuai wanted to kidnap Ante, Jin Caiye hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, no."

"Huh." Ah Zhen snorted, stared at Jin Caiye and asked, "Ante is incompetent, why can't he be tied?"

"Your Majesty, although Ante is incompetent, he is personally ordered to conscript the general. Now that he has been defeated, the soldiers and the people are unstable. If he is tied back to the royal court, the soldiers' fighting spirit will be completely lost."

"The minister seconded the proposal." After Jin Caiye finished speaking, the big cadres came forward to stand up.

Ah Zhen glared angrily at the group of exceptions without saying a word, and hummed with his hands behind his back: "Nu Yi."

Hearing Yiyi, the ministers of civil and military affairs were confused, and knelt in unison and shouted: "Longevity and longevity, my lord." Ante may not be able to pass this threshold today.

"Yan Song disregarded the king's order to send troops by himself, and his crime should be punished." After reading, he thought for a while and then shouted: "Although Shan sent troops by himself, he saved face for the king. This time the merits and demerits are equal. If you dare to commit the crime again, I will The king must kill him."

"Yes." The ministers were surprised. It turned out that it was not Ante, but Yan Song.

After finishing the holy mantra, Ah Zhen called out to Dagan: "Get up, everyone."

"Thank you, my lord."

Arousing everyone, Ah Zhen pointed to Cao Zong and asked, "What did Ante say?"

Cao Zong got up from the ground, clasped his fists and said: "General An begged the king to withdraw from the investigation department."

"Oh." Ah Zhen was surprised, and asked in doubt: "Why?"

"Yes." Cao Zongyi said: "General An believes that someone has informed Huiman of the deployment and route in advance."

When these words fell to the ground, the hall was in an uproar, and all the ministers whispered.

Ah Zhen's old face was dull. What surprised him was not Cao Zong's words, but that Ante had such wisdom. He suppressed all the ministers whispering loudly, "Does he think there are spies here?"

"Yes." Cao Zong reported in a bit of a dumbfounding manner: "General An said that no matter what the signs of the return of troops this time, it was all ""

Before the words were finished, Tu Hongxu couldn't stand it and came forward and said: "My lord, Ante is trying to shirk responsibility, please learn from me, my lord."

"Second Minister" almost all the people all came out.

"Bold." Ah Zhen slapped the imperial table angrily, and shouted loudly: "Tell Ante to come back to me immediately." Such a shrewd person, putting him in the Northwest will ruin his good deeds. If you call back, it's no fun.

"Yes." Cao Zong promised inconceivably, wouldn't this uncle chop up Ante?
"Yeah." Standing on the golden palace with his hands behind his back, he glared at Li Nengwu, who was silent behind Cao Zong, and asked all the ministers slowly: "Dazi is stubborn, do you have a good plan?"

Ina was very surprised. As the saying goes, the general is away, and the emperor's order does not grant him.No matter what Song Yan said, he made great contributions, but the king did not reward him and took the blame.On the contrary, Ante suffered such a big defeat, but the king just scolded a few words.What kind of mystery is the king playing today?Does he want to withdraw troops?

"Your Majesty." Seeing that everyone was silent, Ina came out and said cautiously: "It's severe winter, and Dazi is so stubborn, why don't you stop fighting for a while." Speaking of this, be careful not to mention the crappy gold palace.Seeing the old man staring at him with round eyes, he was shocked, and changed his words in cold sweat, "It's spring, and then we will raise troops to attack bandits in spring."

"Humph" a heavy hum pierced the sky.The upset Ah Zhen stared at the prime minister.He secretly laughed in his heart, damn old fox, he changed his mouth quite quickly.

All the civil and military ministers broke into a cold sweat for the prime minister, stood silently at His Highness, looked over, but no one spoke first.

The huge golden palace was silent, Ah Zhen twisted his neck and looked at his senior ministers, raised his brows and cursed: "All these spirits have emptied his mind."

Ah Zhen narrowed his eyes and stared at Cao Er in a daze, seeing that the old god was there, as if it had nothing to do with him, he pursed his lips and asked, "Cao Zong, do you have an idea?"

Cao Zong saw that the king was still playing falsehood at this juncture, so he stepped out of the queue with disdain and asked: "Please give me 20 soldiers and horses, and I will swear to destroy Huiman Dazi at the beginning of spring." Is it reasonable to lose to the little dazi?What else needs to be discussed, and the oath will be destroyed when the oath is fulfilled.

Seeing Cao Zong's arrogance, Ah Zhen raised his eyebrows and sat back on the golden chair, picked up the teacup and took a sip without answering, and said slowly: "Cao Shuai's majesty is obvious to all, but will these 20 soldiers and horses know how to do it?" Less?"

"20 is enough." Cao Zong is very firm.

"Cao Shuai was really angry with Yunxiao." Ah Zhen, who praised him, nodded again and again, then shook his head vigorously and sighed: "No."

When Cao Zong saw that the king praised him vigorously, he was very happy in his heart, thinking that he must be the one to come to the battle of returning to Manchuria.But the important thing is that the king said no, how could he give in.

"Your Majesty, let the minister go down, and the minister is willing to issue a military order."

"No." Ah Zhen stood up, framed him very seriously: "I heard that Zhen Ni will arrive at the court in two days, you grandpa, don't run around, and stay in the court."

"Uh!" All the ministers were confused when they saw that the king mentioned Cao Zong's granddaughter, and all cast doubtful eyes on Cao Zong.

Cao Zong was sweating all over his head, and clasped his fists in a hurry to report: "My lord, Zhen Ni will come as soon as he comes. Your ministers should put state affairs first. How can you forget state affairs to accompany your granddaughter?" This Zhen Ni will not come sooner or later. Come, come at this critical moment, he must go this time.
.
Ah Zhen smiled crookedly in his heart, but he refused with a very serious face: "It's not a big deal to return to Manchuria, Cao Shuai should enjoy the joy of Tianlun." Smiling, he looked at the civil and military ministers in the hall and smiled. Said: "Princesses like this little girl very much, this king intends to make her princess, what do you think?"

"These" big cadres all shot contemptuous glances at Cao Zong. This old man Cao actually used his granddaughter to seek power.

Under the eyes of all eyes, Cao Zong blushed, knelt on the ground and shouted: "Please think twice, my lord." I think Cao Zong's ability to be the commander of the three armies is all real meritorious deeds, and when he has to rely on his granddaughter to promote him.

Ah Zhen deliberately didn't make him feel better, and instead of calling him to get up, he asked the dumbfounded Wen Wu: "What do you ministers think of this king's intention?"

Ina is at a loss today, and doesn't understand what the king is going to do?How did you get involved in family affairs from state affairs?

"I have met Cao Shuai's granddaughter several times, she is innocent and lively." I still took a careful look at the face of the superior, saw him smiling and nodding, and said happily: "Since the princesses like this daughter, I agree. "

"It turns out that the prime minister also likes Cao Shuai's granddaughter." Ah Zhen gave Cao Zong a wide-eyed look, and said with a smirk, "Zhen Ni is capable of pulling up mountains, so I conferred the title of Overlord Princess."

After the words fell, he shouted loudly: "Xuan Yi."

Everyone was stunned. When they heard Yiyi, they hurriedly knelt down and called out: "Respectfully listen to Wang Yi."

"Give Bawang Princess Mansion a building, a thousand scrolls of brocade and silk, a thousand taels of gold, and a hundred thousand silver."

"The ministers and others obeyed."

"Get up, all."

"Thank you, my lord."

Cao Zong almost fainted from such a one-shot flying from outside the sky. He raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling that it was too mysterious.

"Okay." Ah Zhen frowned, and called to Li Nengwu: "Commander."

"Your servant is here."

"I ordered you to raise the fourth battalion artillery division to assist Bawang Princess to break back to Manchuria."

Li Nengwu was overjoyed when he heard the last word, his jaw fell to the ground.Not only his chin dropped, but all the civil and military chins of the whole dynasty dropped.

"Your Majesty can't do it." Jin Caiye hurriedly came out to persuade: "Although Bawang Princess is capable of pulling mountains, but she has never been on the battlefield, how can she command the three armies?"

Ah Zhen raised his face and shouted: "Back off."

Since hearing that the Bawang Commandery is in charge of the Northwest Army, the Golden Palace was so quiet that you could hear the drop of a needle, and now seeing the Grand Scholars being reprimanded, everyone was even more confused.

Seeing the king suddenly scolding him, Jin Caiye didn't dare to speak out, and retreated carefully into the crowd.Even his clever mind couldn't figure out what the king was going to do.

After drinking Jin Caiye, Ah Zhen looked at the courtiers who stared blankly at him, and pursed his lips and said, "Don't be surprised, my king asked the princess to lead the three armies just to reassure his army, and Li Nengwu will make the decision on major battles."

"Huh" This remark made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.It turned out that the king wanted to use a person of the king's generation to calm down the lost military spirit. As long as the military does not fall into the hands of a child, there is no problem.

Ah Zhen saw that everyone was relieved, and said to the relieved Li Nengwu: "Commander, although the princess is young, don't bully her. You should tell her and discuss with her about everything big and small. Don't be arrogant. do you know?"

"Yes, the minister must discuss everything with the princess." Li Nengwu accepted the order with his fists clasped.

"If the princess hurts a hair, don't come back." Ah Zhen asked again.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

"Hmm." Ah Zhen, who was not very relieved, gestured: "Bring out the 20 soldiers and horses of the Xiping Army Division and the 30 soldiers and horses of the Yan Army Division to the princess. The commander must help the princess to defeat the enemy, and Do not leave half a step away from the princess."

Cao Zong was upset, and went out to persuade him: "My lord, why bother to mobilize the people when I return to Manchuria, and I have 20 servants?"

Before he finished speaking, Ah Zhen waved his hands impatiently and said: "You can just stay in the royal court, your granddaughter can go instead for you."

"I" Cao Zong was tongue-tied, and was extremely upset with his granddaughter. Originally, this was his errand, but why did he go back and forth, and the fat in his mouth fell into someone else's mouth.

"Okay." Walking down the stage with his hands behind his back, Ah Zhen patted Li Nengwu's shoulder lightly, and told him: "Don't bombard the people to death for me, aim, be sure to aim at me. Give me a hard time." The king is out of breath."

"Your Majesty, don't worry." Li Nengwu smiled dangerously, he had a plan in mind.If you don't bombard you to death this time, you Duoluodazi, my surname is no longer Li.

Ah Zhen rolled his eyes, walked up to Jin Caiye in a happy mood, and ordered: "You, Grand Scholar, also go together."

Jin Caiye stared wide-eyed, pointed at himself and asked, "Your servant is also going?"

"Yes, I will order you to be the supervisor of the army, to monitor whether the generals of the villages have killed innocent people indiscriminately, and whether they have been lazy." Will he, Lin Ahzhen, be sloppy in doing things?It is related to his feat of Tubo to deter the whole world, how can he not do it vigorously.

Although Jin Caiye didn't know what he was going to do, but the king had given the order, and he couldn't respond, "The servant took the order."

"Okay." After walking around His Royal Highness, Ah Zhen returned to his own hall, looked at the stunned courtiers, and waved: "Let's retreat."

"May the king have a long life." Everyone knelt down and shouted. When they stood up, the old man who didn't know what kind of mystery was playing was long gone.

Tu Hongxu was at a loss about today's palace meeting, he stepped out of the golden palace in confusion, and asked Yi Na beside him, "Prime Minister, what is it today?"

"Let's go, let's congratulate Cao Shuai." Ina understood somewhat, but was still confused, and without answering, took his hand and walked towards the old-faced Cao Zong.

"Congratulations to Shuai Cao."

The two congratulations made Cao Zong, who tilted his head in deep thought, startled. When he turned around and saw two veterans from the three dynasties, he immediately clasped his fists and saluted, "My lords, don't make fun of the little old man."

"Where." Inaci smiled kindly and said, "It's a blessing for Zhen Ni to be appreciated by the king and princess."

"This" Cao Zong couldn't hear the words outside the words, and his old face was embarrassed.When he didn't know what to say, he saw Li Nengwu and Jin Caiye walking out hand in hand, he dragged the two of them anxiously, and thanked them not at ease: "The little old man thanked you two first."

Jin Caiye knew what he was worried about, patted him on the shoulder, and said reassuringly: "Don't worry, Shuai Cao, it's not a big deal to return to Manchuria. This time, our Tubo soldiers are gathered in the northwest with a million soldiers, and nothing will go wrong."

"Yes." Li Nengwu also said reassuringly: "Let's not talk about the 50 soldiers and horses of the two divisions, there are nearly a million soldiers and horses stationed in the Northwest alone. And the cannons are long-range, so you can rest assured." "

"Thank you both." Cao Zong felt relieved after listening to each of them.Think about it too, forgive him no matter how capable he is, can he surpass a million lions?
