Conquer the World

Chapter 488: This round and that round

The imperial army left a small number of men and women stationed in Xiangcheng, and the 400,000-strong morale of the brave and brave march was full of enthusiasm.People who are still alive after the battle feel that they have cleared that layer of fog and gradually see their brilliant future.They are just ordinary people. They think about how to make contributions on the battlefield every day and survive.They could not think of any conspiracies or tricks, or any Jiangshan Sheji.

They only knew that Xiangcheng had been broken, and Li Yuanshan retreated with hundreds of thousands of remnants. At this time, there was no reason to pursue.They only saw victory in sight, not any traps.

There was a lot of grain and grass in Xiangcheng, because Li Yuanshan worried that the grain and grass would be transported away, which would cause the emperor's suspicion.After supplementing the supply, the 400,000 troops were divided into three groups and continued to march westward.

The emperor was sitting on the tall and magnificent imperial court, instructing people to open the window and looking at the still depressed scenery outside.This imperial dragon is also called the hall of worship, which requires hundreds of horses and manpower to pull.Jin Shixiong sat nervously next to the emperor, looking down at his toes with his head down.

The emperor slowly withdrew his eyes from the window, feeling that the temperature of the hand stove was already cool but he was too lazy to pass it to Su Wuwei to change the charcoal fire. temperature.

"Do you know why I brought you?"

The emperor asked.

Jin Shixiong first nodded, then immediately shook his head: "I don't know."

The emperor sighed slightly: "I took Su Wuwei, so that he would follow me to the end. I took you instead of letting you die, but there was an important errand for you to do. I won't tell you Where is the knife that I hid in this battle, but I can tell you that I cannot lose this battle. After the chaos, the endgame in the northwest is too chaotic and rotten, and there must be someone with a strong wrist to calm down ... After the battle , I ask you to sit in the northwest and help the prince clean up this mess. "

"minister……"

Jin Shixiong got up and knelt down: "Your Majesty invites His Majesty to consider again. Since your Majesty has already won the battle, why take a personal risk ... The Chen is willing to lead 400,000 brave men to pursue Li Ni, and will never fail to live up to His Majesty's trust.

"Where is it so easy."

The emperor smiled, and seemed a bit bitter.

"If I don't chase it in person, Li Yuanshan will not try my best to fight the last battle. But the main thing is not this, but the knife I hid in advance. I have to go in person to show it. I can't do it now. I ’m telling you, you do n’t need to ask. There is no room for this matter to be returned, you just need to remember my account. ”

"Chen ... Zunyi."

Jin Shixiong bowed his head.

The emperor said: "Get up, you and my princes have been here for more than ten years, never been so restrained, don't cry and mourn your face, calm the chaos in the northwest just around the corner, and the worms and tumors in the court have already lost most of them, so there is nothing unhappy Unhappy things, if you think I did it because of a forced punishment, then you are wrong ... Now I have no plans to hide anything, my body has not been able to carry it for a long time, why is it all dead, and It ’s not as good to be groaning as curling up on the sickbed. I ’m really happy in my heart. "

He asked Jin Shixiong to sit down: "The Northwest, the aftermath of the chaos is particularly difficult. You are a military general, but you are careful to act carefully and safely. I will rest assured that you will clean up the Northwest booth. You have to remember that although the Northwest people do not count from thieves At the very least, do n’t be strict with the law, and be more kind. The existence of a country is not to kill people to obey, but to raise them to let them live and work. The people are stable, and the country is stable. Kill. For the people, raise. Do you understand? "

"Chen understands"

"Ok"

The emperor seemed to be a little tired, shrinking his body into the large seat: "Looking at the uneasy look on your face, I know what you are thinking. I have now explained how you can control the chaos, but you have no way to let I have full confidence in victory, right? "

"minister……"

Jin Shixiong opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"Look at it."

The emperor waved his hand lazily: "I made such a big bet and exchanged my life for something I know. I thought, if I still allow myself after the annihilation of Li Ni, I will go and see Lang Rushan When I met with Koktameng, I hurried to and fro, did not take a good look at the scenery on the westernmost side of my rivers. Or maybe I walked around to see if there was a world of spirit and nourishment and I could still get better. What about? "

He smiled and said: "I used to look at things and always looked at the bad things. Now my mind has changed a little bit, and I want to look at the benefits."

"Your Majesty is sure to be safe!"

Jin Shixiong said the same.

"Haha"

The emperor smiled smoothly: "I hope so ... yes, there is one thing you may not know yet. Fang Xie this person, you do n’t know who you want to have heard his name."

"Yanwuyuan entered the first test, and the minister knew."

"Well, now your team, he takes it."

The emperor turned his eyes to the window again and said in a natural and gentle tone: "After the war, I will let him return it to you ... I always have a feeling."

Jin Shixiong did not hear what was said later.

"You can't let him lead soldiers for too long ..."

Said the emperor.

...

...

270 miles southwest of Xiangcheng

Sipan Town is the center, and there are camps within a dozen miles.Hundreds of thousands of fine armor have been stationed here for more than ten days, and the people nearby have been far away to avoid the war.At first glance, murderous soldiers were everywhere, so that the weather was affected and became colder.

The patrol soldiers wearing thick leather armor walked in a neat queue, and the glacial ball hanging on the front of the front could be cold in people's hearts.

A general wearing iron armor hurried forward, ran outside the tallest tent in the camp and yelled, then lifted the heavy curtains and drilled in.

"General, Xiangcheng is broken!"

The man who came in was a man looking like he was in his twenties, and the armor made a dull noise when he clenched his fists.Like his voice, he was deep and slightly hoarse.

His name is Luo Xiaotu.

A arrogant man who rarely speaks, but today, his face is hard to hide his joy.

The middle-aged man sitting behind the desk stopped his hand movements and glanced at the half-written words. Three thick ink characters had been written on the rice paper, but these three words seemed to be incoherent.

Hearing the news that Xiangcheng was broken, he paused for a moment and finished writing the last word.

set

Luo Xiaotu looked at the four words on the rice paper, and the joy on his face gradually calmed down.

"Xiao Tu ... You are still not calm enough."

The middle-aged man who wrote the letter hung the wolf on the pen holder, turned around and walked over to the map to look at it: "You look very happy, so come and tell me, where is it worth the pleasure?"

Luo Xiaotu pondered for a while and said, "Back to the general, Xiangcheng has been broken. The emperor with 400,000 troops chased the remnants of Li Yuanshan and has entered the ambush of Li Yuanshan. Things are going smoothly, so the subordinates feel happier. The practice is not enough. "

"Forty thousand?"

Luo Yao stunned slightly: "According to the calculation, the court has more than this number of people left."

"Returning to the general, according to the news reported by the spies, the emperor, with Gao Kaitai as the main general, led the army to station 200,000 in Qinchuan. The emperor brought more than 400,000 people across Xiangcheng and headed westward."

Luo Yao couldn't help but smiled after being silent for a while: "The emperor was still uneasy about me. Gao Kaitai used his troops to calm down. The emperor asked him to take 200,000 people to stay in Qinchuan. The defender was me ... The emperor was worried about him I led the soldiers to chase Li Yuanshan, and I took the soldiers to copy the back road of the imperial court. Ha ha ... I do n’t believe in the minister, I do n’t respect the monarch, Da Sui's qi is really coming to an end. "

"General, what shall we do?"

Luo Xiaotu asked.

"Do you think Li Yuanshan's strategy is really so easy to succeed?"

Luo Yao looked back at Luo Xiaotu and said indifferently: "I told you that the emperor is an unborn emperor. Li Yuanshan had the army of 700,000 troops in the Qikeng in Mandu for the first time. Wrong. But the emperor is not the kind of person who trips on the same stone twice, if he ca n’t see through Li Yuanshan ’s layout, it ’s a joke. And Li Yuanshan ’s ambush circle is as big as 270 li. With the man and horse in his hands now, he can't do the emperor's death ... the hope is pinned on me and on the Yuan Yuan people. In fact, Li Yuanshan has been defeated. "

With a lightly written sentence, he kicked an opponent out of the game: "He is no longer qualified to remain on the chessboard because he is too arrogant. The Meng Yuan people would not be willing to only make a knife, although the temptation to kill the emperor The Yuan people couldn't resist, and the Koktaimeng brother had been looking forward to it for more than ten years, but the Mongolian Yuan people's mind was not only on the emperor. As long as the emperor died, the Mongolian Yuan people would also remove Li Yuanshan before returning to the grassland. "

"why?"

Luo Xiaotu asked.

"Because Kouktaimengge doesn't want a strong neighbor."

Luo Xiaotu was silent, and then asked, "Will we marry or not?"

"In"

Luo Yao smiled and said, "Naturally I want to march into the army, otherwise I will bring my soldiers to the northwest. What does Li Yuanshan count as the emperor, and the emperor counts as Li Yuanshan? Until now, I am still an outsider. No matter what the emperor ’s calculations are, he only has those troops left. No matter what Li Yuanshan ’s calculations are, there are not many people in his hands. Gao Kaitai ... I have n’t put it in my eyes yet. "

"Send a person to tell Koktai Monre, let him go to fight with Gao Kaitai. Two hundred thousand wolves ride two hundred thousand infantry, the scene should also be spectacular."

"Then where do we march?"

"Another Board"

Luo Yao smiled indifferently: "The bureau I have set up ... I have ordered Yongzhou soldiers and horses to finish up. By this time, I should have crossed Yishui. As long as I cross the Yangtze River, the seven hundred thousand army Chen Bing Zhongyuan. Dongdu River passed by, and then merged with Yongzhou soldiers and horses. I never put my eyes on this weary land in the northwest, but the city called Chang'an. "

Luo Xiaotu was stunned and immediately clenched his fists: "The subordinates are willing to follow the general and create a great cause!"

Luo Yao smiled and said nothing.

He raised the pen again and wrote a small line on the rice paper.

The west also becomes the east and becomes unresolved, and the south and the north have their beginnings and ends

Luo Xiaotu glanced, didn't understand.
