To Rule in a Turbulent World

By October 20th, the court received new frontline news. The people broke through the Jizhou defense line, and everyone panicked.

On that day, You Miao was practicing archery in the courtyard. Although she hadn't used her sword for half a year, she could barely hit the target after picking it up. As he was pulling the string, Zhao Chao hurried in from the door and said, "Hurry up, bring the book of soldiers and follow me into the palace."

Wu Youmiao immediately took his bow and arrow, followed Zhao Chao into the palace to discuss the matter, and saw that everyone's face was worried, with a look of 100,000 anxiety. You Miao asked, "Isn't it stable a few days before the war?"

Zhao Chao looked at You Miao and thought about it, his voice was a little trembling, and he said, "Don't tell the news first."

You Youmiao nodded.

After a few breaths, Zhao Chao said: "General Blue died and died in battle."

Wu Youmiao: "..."

"What about Brother Nie?" You Miao felt chills on her spine. Sun Yu once said when studying in Liuzhou, there were two generals, Lan Hong and Nie Dan, who guarded the East and West of the Great Wall and could keep the frontiers stable for 20 years. Is Lan Hong dead now? !!

"Brother Nie is mobilizing soldiers and horses, gathering remnants, and defending the Tatars." Zhao Chao said: "As soon as Lan Hong died, all the northern frontiers were lost. This time, I may really be on the march."

You Youmiao did not expect to go to the battlefield so quickly, and Lan Hong was sacrificed. How could this happen?

Wu Youmiao: "When is the expedition?"

Zhao Chao: "I don't need you to join the army, I will send you out of the city to return to the state tomorrow."

Youyou Miao immediately became angry: "What do you mean?"

超 Zhao Chao's mood is a little out of control: "It's not up to you to do this! You give me an order!"

Wu Youmiao: "..."

Zhao Chao couldn't help breathing, the two were deadlocked for a moment, Zhao Chao said, "Well, let's not talk about this first. Just now the news came out. In the past few days, Lan Hong died and the deployment was completely chaotic!"

Zhao Chao explained as he walked. It turned out that as soon as the northern people invaded, Lan Hong dispatched soldiers and horses to the northern line for support. As soon as the troops were withdrawn, the Liangxi Plain was instantly empty. Nie Dan and Lan Hong had a fierce conflict over the formulation of the resistance route. Nie Dan asked Lan Hong to retreat south of the Yellow River, wait for Gyeonggi's reinforcements, and let Tang Hui lead the Yu Linjun to leave Beijing.

Otherwise, if Lan Hong goes alone to fight against the Tatars, he will certainly suffer the enemy.

However, Lan Hong was too encouraging, and he turned around and led to Zhengliangguan. Suddenly he was ambushed by the Dais and the Tatars when he passed through the mountains of Languan Mountain. The losses were heavy. However, the Tatars evacuated with a single blow.

King Wang Xin resigned from the northern bank of the Yellow River and planned to fight backwaters.

情况 At this moment, the situation was extremely critical. Zhao Chao and You Miao went directly to the Taihe Hall, all the ministers were there, and all the discussions were in progress. Zhao Yan was not in the throne.

Zhao Chao said: "The soldiers are already outside the city. They are mobilized from Yangzhou, and there are more than 54,000."

Prince Edward said: "Where is General Tang Hui?"

Tang Hui stepped forward and said, "The end is here."

With a whisper in her heart, Miyou Miao immediately said: "No!"

Although You Miao does not lead soldiers in person, he is familiar with the army. Zhao Chao is also clear. Tang Hui is with the Royal Forest Army. He takes the responsibility of guarding and defending, and guards and does not attack. How can he take the Royal Forest to the front line? The prince had just spoken, and Miao You guessed that the overall layout of these people must be to allow Tang Hui to take Yu Linjun to the front line, gather the stubble of Lan Hong, converge into one, and go north to meet the enemy.

But the Royal Forest Army definitely can't!

You Miao ’s "impossible" sentence almost blurted out, and then I felt awkward after finishing speaking. Everyone in the hall looked at him. As a courtier who had not yet had an official position, it was already overdue, and even if there was an official position, also He was far from speaking, and thanked him for saying: "The minister should make a mistake, and the crime should be dead."

Prince Lai put a smile on it and did not pursue it. Zhao Chao said loudly: "The Yulin Army is not suitable for the North Diversion. Once the terrain of the northern bank of the Yellow River is complex, and secondly, the Yulin Army is not suitable for guerrilla warfare. General Tang is still advisable to defend Beijing."

宰 Li Zai said: "Because the Yulin Army cannot go to the front line, it can only send recruits into the army and be incorporated into the Northern Army, but General Tang Hui ..."

超 Zhao Chao said: "Let me lead the troops, Tang Hui stays behind the Beijing division."

The palace did not speak. After a long time, Li Zai said: "His Royal Highness, the recruits are mixed, and it is not easy to govern. Now that the Beijing Imperial Army is drawn, there are really only 8,000 Royal Forest soldiers left. According to the opinion of the minister ... or ..."

The needle was heard, and the prince said, "Third brother, can you win this? The entire capital, the lives of 100,000 people, will be put on your shoulders."

超 Zhao Chao's pupils shrunk slightly, and You Miao's heart was stunned, almost like Zhao Chao's heart, at that moment, he knew Zhao Chao was timid.

"Yes." Zhao Chao replied: "Brother please rest assured."

Prince Laughing with a smile, she slowly shook her head, deep in her eyes, at a glance.

Yan Youmiao sighed secretly.

"Then," said the Prince. "The third brother stays behind the commander-in-chief of the Beijing Imperial Army, General Tang leads the new army of the Gyeonggi army to the north, and takes over the remnants of the Northern Army of Lanhong. You have 100,000 people. Be sure to expel the puppet from the Central Plains. "

Tang Hui bowed down and said, "The general will lead."

This time, Zhao Chao did not raise any objections. Everyone in the hall knew that You Miao was even more clear-Zhao Chao still lost, not to the prince, but to himself.

"Yu Ziqian remains." Prince Edward said: "I will discuss the matter tomorrow morning."

The princes retreated one after another, and the prince motioned for You Miao to follow him. You Miao held the stack of useless booklets, followed the prince out of the hall, passed the Royal Garden, and headed for the study.

When I passed the Changle Palace, the palace was smoky, and there was a sound of Taoist singing. You Miao felt a little curious, and looked around, but the prince gently waved his fingers, and You Miao frowned.

"I should have appointed you until the beginning of spring." The prince entered the side hall, washed his hands, and said lightly, "But now the war in the frontier is tight, and Sandingjia's instruments are one step ahead of schedule."

Wu Youmiao knew that she was going to send an official to herself, and said, "Thank Your Highness for grace."

Prince Lai smiled, but didn't mention You Miao's official position, but just asked: "Recently tired. My younger brother has been like this since he was a child. He recognized a theory and always didn't hit the south wall or look back."

You Youmiao is hard to say anything about Zhao Chao, so she has to smile.

Prince Lai handed a small box and said, "Here's your tea. Make some tea."

Yanyou Miao gladly took the box. Inside it was the blue rain and green peaks of the next year, and the prince said, "Jiangnan Road 6 is now closed, so I have to wait for the coming year and save some drinks."

Youyou Miao made a noise. Being with the prince is not the same as being with Zhao Chao. He now understands why the DPRK has supported the prince, which is still a bit of a skill. People like Prince Edward, although not necessarily sincere, but get along with him, no matter how they think in their hearts, they feel like a breeze on the face.

Not to mention fear of saying the wrong thing, Zhao Chao's mood is too full of joy and sorrow. Although he hides well in front of the other courtiers, he is mixed with You Miao. He is like a small child. Also more casual.
