Chapter 468 Waste Imperial Envoy
Xiao Junjue led a group of people to rush to Yunzhou at high speed. Except for the cavalry, the rest of the soldiers were expected to arrive in seven days.

Nie Chengfeng, the prefect of Yunzhou, had been waiting for a long time and greeted him outside the city gate. When he saw the king of Chu, he hurriedly led him into the city.

"My lord, I have been waiting for a long time. If you don't come again, I really don't know what to do."

"How is the situation?" Xiao Junjue received a letter on the way, saying that Yunzhou had been attacked twice.

"It's not good. The first two times suffered heavy casualties. We are also desperately defending the city, just waiting for the prince and the reinforcements to arrive." Nie Chengfeng sighed. , see high and low.

Nie Chengfeng raised his eyebrows, cupped his hands and asked Xiao Junjue, "Your official sent a note to the court ten days ago, asking for reinforcements, but you haven't replied yet. Look, my lord, do you want me to send you another reminder?"

Xiao Junjue didn't speak, Rong Yao interrupted, he snorted coldly, and said, "I don't think Governor Nie should bother with that, isn't Bicheng the best example?"

Xiao Jun gave him a sideways glance, and reprimanded, "Don't lie."

Rong Yao pursed his lips, and said, "Prefect Nie thinks I'm talking nonsense, don't take it to heart."

Nie Chengfeng has been guarding Yunzhou for 20 years. In his heart, the people of Yunzhou, and even every plant and tree in Yunzhou are very precious to him.What Rong Yao said just now was unintentional, but he listened carefully.How could he not know that Bicheng is a lesson for Yunzhou.

But Yunzhou is better than Bicheng in one thing. Bicheng is a separate city, while Yunzhou is in the domain.It seems that the only way to keep Yunzhou is to point to the King of Chu in front of him.

Nie Chengfeng looked at Xiao Junjue, and said: "I have heard that the prince uses soldiers like a god. With the prince in charge, I can feel at ease. There are 2 soldiers and horses in Yunzhou, and they are all dispatched by the prince. Only the prince is not allowed. Don't worry about it in the future, if the stalemate continues, Luo Luo will always have a lot of soldiers..." The following words are self-evident.

He had also analyzed Bashu's soldiers and horses before, and even if they were all transferred, they would not be as good as Luo Luo's 50 troops.And it is impossible to send all of them to Yunzhou.

Xiao Junjue glanced at him lightly, walked to the upper seat, and sat down calmly, "With my king here, Governor Nie need not panic, I have my own countermeasures."

He knew in his heart that there was no hope in Changge City, and he didn't want to.It's not that he has never fought a battle where he won more with less. What's more, although they are outnumbered, at least they occupy an important place. It is impossible to break into the barrier of Bashu in a short while.

There are only two plans in front of him now, one is to fight hard, but Xiao Junjue is unwilling to waste manpower and financial resources, so for now, another plan has to be used, that is to stick to it.

There is a tug-of-war with Luo Luo, as long as they don't attack, they will not fight back desperately, as long as it takes a long time, Luo Luo will definitely not be able to afford it.

It was true that there was no hope in the court, Xiao Yuheng was talking with several ministers in the imperial study, the little emperor was sitting on the dragon chair, jumping up and down on the dragon chair for a while, and then yawned and fell asleep on the dragon table.

Right Minister Li Zhanpei glanced at the little emperor, sighed secretly, then looked at King Qi, cupped his hands, and said earnestly: "Luo Luo is really deceiving people so much that he captured Bicheng, and now he is targeting Yunzhou again." Come on. Let him continue to be so rampant, the disaster will be endless. King Qi, we must not let it go any longer, let's send troops to help."

He is King Qi's father-in-law, and among so many people, he is the only one who dares to speak like this.

Others echoed, "Yes, yes, Mr. Right is right."

The little emperor ascended the throne, and King Qi was canonized as the emperor's father and regent. Now he is in charge of all matters in the court.

Xiao Yuheng swept across the crowd, and when he looked over, those who agreed all lowered their heads.

"The Battle of Bicheng has cost me 20 soldiers in Dazhou. Do you still want to lose [-] to [-]?" He said in a calm voice, as if an ice skate had been slashed across his neck. Sweat dripping.

Who doesn't know King Qi's methods. In the past few years, as long as someone opposes him in the court, his head will be lost at the slightest, and his family will be wiped out at the worst. Now the heads of these courtiers seem to be hung on their belts every day. Offended King Qi.

Xiao Yuheng's psychology has been distorted, and now he especially enjoys the feeling of being feared by everyone, with a sinister smile on his lips, "In my opinion, even though Luo Luo takes Bicheng, he won't stay for long, waiting for them to rob If you run out of money, you will go back to Luo Luo. And if you send troops to support them, the imperial court doesn’t know how much military expenses they will have to spend. The gains outweigh the losses, so it’s better to let them go.”

Someone still stood up tremblingly with a tingling scalp, Yu Chengen, Minister of the Ministry of War, stood up and said: "However, if things go on like this, I am afraid that other countries will continue to provoke like Luo Luo. Then what will be the deterrence of the Great Zhou?"

"What is Luo Luo? He's just a barbarian. How many defeats has he suffered in the past? Will Da Zhou lose half of his face because of a small barbarian country?"

"Can"

"Huh?" Xiao Yuheng's eyes sharpened, and he looked at him with a long voice.

Yu Shangshu hurriedly changed his words, only regretting talking too much, "It's the lower officials who are worrying too much."

Xiao Yuheng smiled contentedly, and smiled lightly. Following the laughter, Yu Shangshu couldn't help but tremble.

"I think it's too early to say send troops. King Chu is the God of War in the Great Zhou Dynasty. I believe that he can turn defeat into victory even if there is only one person left in his hand. When the king of Chu is no longer able to do so, I will send troops again. It's not too late to get it back."

Several of the ministers were veterans, but they didn't say a word at this time.It's not that he didn't want to say it, he held back his stomach, and didn't dare to say it in front of King Qi.

But he kept sighing in his heart, if this Great Zhou was so grinded in the hands of King Qi, sooner or later he would be defeated.

Xiao Yuheng's eyes fell on Yu Shangshu, who was talking too much, "Yu Shangshu has always been a minister in the court, but he is a bit old. Now your descendants are all holding important positions in the court, so there is no need for you Don't worry, you can go back to enjoy your old age and enjoy your grandchildren."

Yu Shangshu's complexion turned pale in an instant, and he froze for a moment, staring blankly at King Qi for a long time, but let out a breath of relief, cupped his hands, "Old minister obeys the order."

It doesn't matter if he quits the court, he has been an official all his life, and he has probably reached the top if he achieves this position.Today's court hall is no longer the court hall when Emperor Xiaojing was there, and if he retreats, he will save himself from having to worry about going to court all day long.

After leaving the imperial study room, everyone lowered their heads and sighed, and they didn't dare to speak until they left the gate of the palace.

"Yu Shangshu has lived through three dynasties, and he is in his prime, so... hey..." someone sighed.

Yu Chengen waved his hand and smiled calmly, "It's about time. I've been in poor health for the past few years. Qi Wang Yingming knows that I have long wanted to retire, and today I have been fulfilled."

"The lips are dead and the teeth are cold. Yu Shangshu just said a wrong sentence, and that's it. I'll wait..." The minister lowered his voice, "It seems that we must be more careful in everything in the future, and be cautious in words and deeds."

Yu Chengen patted his colleague on the shoulder, with a bitter taste on his lips, he said quietly: "I'm withdrawing this time, brother, you and I have been officials in the same dynasty for decades, my brother advises you to withdraw as soon as possible."

After all, he swaggered into his own sedan chair, and today he finally figured it out, there is nothing more to love about this court, it's better to retire and return home as soon as possible, and leave the place where things are right and wrong.Even his descendants who are officials in the court have to advise them to withdraw as soon as possible, lest he will be burned in a hot day, and maybe he can have a good death.

Xiao Yuheng did not send troops to reinforce, but sent an imperial envoy to Yizhou, saying that he wanted to inspect the battle ahead.

It's not good to send anyone, but Liu Hanhao, a good-for-nothing, doesn't even count as an inspection, it's just to add trouble.

Relying on his status as an imperial envoy, this guy didn't go to the front line to watch the battle, but ran to Yizhou City.

After all, he was an imperial envoy, and it would be unreasonable not to send someone to greet him, so Rong Zhao asked Nighthawk to pick him up.But let me explain in advance that only he and his followers can enter the city, and the soldiers he brings must stay outside the city.

Rong Zhao felt it was ridiculous, not to send a single soldier to fight, but to follow a second generation ancestor with two thousand soldiers.It can be seen how close the relationship between King Qi and Liu's family is, they don't even send people from his concubine's natal family.

Yeying led three thousand soldiers to block Liu Hanhao outside the city. Seeing the battle, Liu Hanhao couldn't help raising his eyebrows and raising his nose. He rode on a tall horse, pinched his bloated waist with both hands, and acted arrogantly, "Who are you? Why don't you see your lord come to greet me in person?"

Nightingale cupped his hands casually, and said, "I've seen Mrs. Liu, and I'm the commander of the Royal Guards of the Chu Palace. The prince has already rushed to Yunzhou to fight, so he can't come to meet the imperial envoy."

Liu Hanhao rolled his eyelids upwards, his nose turned into the sky, "That's why you let a little guy like you come to welcome me? Is there no official in Yizhou?"

He kicked off his horse, "But I don't care too much about it, let's go into the city."

Nighthawk looked sideways, and three thousand guards stepped in front of Liu Hanhao.

"What do you mean? I am the imperial envoy, how dare you stop me from entering?"

"Forgive me, Master Liu. Now Bashu is not peaceful. Wang Yehai is still fighting with soldiers and horses. Before leaving, he repeatedly ordered martial law, and no soldiers other than Bashu are allowed to enter. The province will cause chaos among the people. I hope Master Liu understands." Yeying is neither humble nor overbearing. In his eyes, he didn't take Liu's surname seriously at all, so he just said a few polite words.

"Bold, you dare to stop the horse of the imperial court even if you are a small guard of the royal palace, are you tired of living?" Liu Hanhao stepped on the horse and stood up, thinking how majestic he is, "If you don't want to die, let him go!" Come out and welcome me into the city, or I will report you to the emperor when I go back, and let your head fall to the ground!"

His body was too heavy for the horse to support him, and before he could finish speaking, the horse stumbled, and he fell off the horse and fell onto the ground.
