Chapter 21 Chapter 4 God's Envoy II

Emperor Capital Apocalypse, Taiqing Palace, Zhenghe Hall. "Who is this Hua Ye? Why haven't I heard of this person's name? Could it be that Chunguo sent King Qin to be an unknown soldier? Such a person dares to ask the army to cross the king's domain?" The emperor was obviously suppressed. Angry, he patted on the case behind the curtain. "Your Majesty!" The deputy envoy of the Shaofu came out, "Hua Ye is the well-deserved number one general in the Chun Kingdom, and he is the commander of the Wind and Tiger Cavalry Army. Your Majesty has never heard of his name because he has lived in seclusion for four years and cannot be reused." , this time Chunguo reactivated him, probably for King Qin's needs."

"The commander of the Wind and Tiger Cavalry?" The emperor's tone eased, "What about Cheng Kui? Didn't you all talk about Cheng Kui before? Isn't Cheng Kui the commander of the Wind and Tiger Cavalry?" "Your Majesty, Cheng Kui is only a deputy. Even though Hua Ye is in seclusion, he still leads the Tiger Cavalry Army. Cheng Kui is not in command of him. Cheng Kui was Hua Ye's deputy back then. Worlds different." "Oh, so this person really has some background." The emperor nodded and waved. The guards outside the curtain stepped down to pick up the form that was thrown down just now, and sent it in again respectfully.

The deputy envoy of the Shaofu retreated, and Dazheng Qing of Dali Temple stepped out of the queue: "Hua Ye is indeed majestic, and he now has 30,000 wind and tiger cavalry under his command, which is the largest cavalry army in our dynasty. If he can cross the Wangyu at this time Hitting Ying Wuyi directly on the back is almost guaranteed victory." "Then allow him to cross?" the emperor hesitated. Dazheng Qing of Dali Temple hesitated slightly: "But at the entrance of Dangyang Valley there are still 20,000 red brigades left behind from the country to defend. Even if he is allowed to cross, he must first fight the Li army. Even if he succeeds in the first battle, relying on the wind and tiger cavalry Hurry up, it's almost time for Bai Yi and Ying Wuyi to fight behind Shangyang Pass."

"That is to say, maybe when he arrives, the battle has already been fought. What's the use of this world-renowned general?" The emperor became impatient, "Could it be that 30,000 troops were sent to collect Ying Wuyi's body?" He looked at the officials: "What does the Tai Tuo think?" Grand Tutor Xie Qiwei stepped forward: "I think Your Majesty's concerns are justified." There were a few low-pitched and cold ridicules from the courtiers, and the eyes cast in the gap were full of contempt, but the Tai Tuo stood upright, didn't mind, and seemed to have the demeanor of a famous courtier.

The emperor also sneered: "Taifu Taifu, it really makes sense." The emperor had long been dissatisfied with the Taifu.Xie Qiwei is an idiot. When Ying Wuyi occupied Tianqi City, the dignified royal officials complained of illness at home, but Xie Qiwei ran forward and back to help Ying Wuyi govern. He was regarded as the most important person among the ministers of Tianqi.But he did not forget to please the royal family, and sent his confidants into the palace every three days to offer various supplies, assuring the royal family that he would still be loyal, and he was often the mediator between the emperor and Ying Wuyi.So although the new emperor didn't like him, he still relied on him. Ying Wuyi's army left Tianqi City, and Xie Qiwei immediately became Jing Nan's great hero again.

Xie Qiwei was not from a wealthy family, he was promoted from the lower ranks, and he was very organized in his affairs.However, he was already old and had no backbone. When he was asked to make a decision at a critical moment, he immediately flattered everyone, and no matter what he said, he was justified.So the officials and the emperor laughed at him. "However, I have some concerns." Xie Qiwei said again. "Oh?" "The ancestors instructed that in normal times, the princes' soldiers and horses are not allowed to step into the king's domain. Even if it is necessary to encounter a major event, the princes must make three consecutive petitions. The three petitions are burned in front of the Taimiao, and three sacrifices are added to pay respects. Divination and gazing at the stars can only get auspicious omens. Then people have to dismount their horses, seal their scabbards, and the royal family dispatches the Habayashi Heavenly Army to guard the border. This ancestral precept was often violated during the reign of Emperor Fengyan. A small group of princes and soldiers came in and out, making noise and commotion, and horse manure was everywhere in front of the Taiqing Palace. Soldiers occasionally stole, robbed and raped, and all the households of the princes were closed." Xie Qi sighed slightly, "This time Hua Ye is also going to cross the border. Although it may not be the case, but he marched back and forth in such a hurry, the majesty and tranquility of the imperial capital may be completely gone."

"Hmm... this does make sense." The emperor pondered. "Your Majesty!" The deputy envoy of the Shaofu came out again. He was newly promoted, and he was in the limelight. His handsome square face was slightly flushed with excitement, "I think that Mr. Xie's concerns are inappropriate." "What do you say?" "Now at Shangyang Pass, General Bai Yi leads 70,000 coalition troops, while Ying Wuyi only has 35,000 troops. However, your majesty cannot think that Ying Wuyi will die at Shangyang Pass. It's actually General Bai Yi!" "70,000 people are no match for 35,000 people. Marquis Wuyang is known as the number one general in the Eastern Continent. If he loses, what face does he have to stand in the world?" The emperor sneered, "It's better to kill yourself to thank the world, so that we don't eat my royal family's salary like moths! "

"Your Majesty!" The deputy envoy knelt down, "There is a saying in military law, 'Ten times to encircle them'. Only when one's own troops are ten times stronger than the enemy's can they be encircled and killed. General Bai Yi's blockade at Shangyang Pass is half a besieged city. Tactics, in terms of encirclement and annihilation, his strength is far from sufficient. Moreover, the Liguo Red Brigade Thunder Cavalry, the hero of the world, was defeated by the charge of the Thunder Cavalry. This time, Ying Wuyi's ambition is to return to the country. Imagine, His Majesty, in the siege of thousands of troops, there is no guarantee that there will be no fish that slip through the net. How easy it is to break through alone! And once Ying Wuyi returns to the country, there are still 50,000 people left in the country. The Chi Brigade is ready to go, with the prestige of Ying Wuyi, in a few years there will be another 70,000 troops!"

Up and down the court, the courtiers all took a breath of air.These royal ministers are all descendants of noble and famous families, and very few of them come from military families. I heard that Bai Yi has an army of 70,000. I originally thought that the army of King Qin was already a victory, but at this time, I heard that "ten rules surround it", and my heart Suddenly he became uneasy again. The emperor was also silent, and there was a knock on the table behind the curtain. "So if the two armies are fighting, 30,000 wind and tiger cavalry will attack from behind Shangyang Pass, which will undoubtedly deal a heavy blow to Ying Wuyi! If Ying Wuyi hadn't been afraid of this, he wouldn't have left 20,000 red troops behind. Guard at the entrance of Dangyang Valley. The 20,000 people are almost doomed to sacrifice! Your Majesty, please think twice! Think twice! Think twice!" The deputy envoy said loudly, "The current time cannot be delayed for even a moment, please Your Majesty. On time! General Hua Ye will launch an offensive immediately!"

"But the important place of the clan... can't stand the ravages anymore..." the emperor whispered. The faint shadow of the emperor behind the curtain stood up, pacing and thinking, and in an instant, there was a long and leisurely sigh. "Is Your Majesty interested in listening to women's views?" a low female voice asked. "Does the eldest princess have a good plan?" The emperor's voice suddenly revealed surprise. Under the emperor's veil, there was another sarong, and a case was wrapped in the golden gauze, and the misty fragrance came out from the gauze, faintly sweeping over the noses of the courtiers.The sound came from the sarong.

"Your name is Cheng Chongjin, isn't it? It's only been three months since you served as the deputy envoy of the Shaofu. If you are someone who is familiar with the art of war, you can use it in the Shaofu. If you feel wronged, you will be transferred to the Yubayashi Tianjun in another day." The voice of the eldest princess carried smile. There was a low sneer immediately among the courtiers, it was someone who had an enmity with the deputy envoy.Everyone knows what kind of future the transition to the Habayashi Heavenly Army is for a person who has only read a few volumes of military books.It is self-evident whether this decree is a reward or a punishment. The deputy envoy of the Shaofu blushed, he couldn't back down at this point, raised his neck and said loudly: "Thank you, Princess Chang, for your kindness." The woman smiled coldly: "Young Mansion is a place that manages accounts and calculates money, and there is no room for outstanding men. There used to be a deputy envoy named Ji Qianzheng, who was also able to get a horse and a pen, so he was restless. When Emperor Xi came to the throne, he actually formed an alliance with the rebels, so he was expelled from the imperial capital by his family and was never allowed to enter. I also did it out of your painstaking efforts. So Fucheng Cheng, let me ask you, do you know what the emperor's family is governed by? The world?" "Benevolence!" "Government of benevolence?" The eldest princess still sneered, "That's what rotten scholars said. You are a military strategist, why are you so pedantic? It is good to use benevolent government to govern people's hearts, but there are always some sneaky things in people's hearts. Nine hundred and ninety-nine people will obey your benevolent government, but there will still be a traitor who will jump out and instigate everyone. Ying Wuyi is such a traitor!" When she said this, her voice suddenly increased, piercing through the entire court hall, and the courtiers were frightened and knelt down to listen. The eldest princess coughed twice, and her voice returned to a low voice: "To lead a party, the princes rely on swords. To rule the world, the emperor relies on his majesty. The emperor is mighty, he is not angry and arrogant, and he will be executed if he commits a crime! When the first emperor founded the country, he divided the princes. In this kingdom, I only left 30,000 people for myself. The 30,000 Feather Forest Heavenly Army, not to mention that the princes joined forces to cause chaos, even the 30,000 wind and tigers of the Chun Kingdom, I am afraid that they also captured Tianqi City. But after all these years, really It is only Ying Wuyi who dares to enter Tianqi City to cause chaos. What have we been guarding all these years? It is the majesty of the emperor's family. As long as the majesty does not fall, and we give orders together, the princes will still work together to serve the king You must have confidence and have the bearing of the royal family. You are the dignity of my Dayin Dynasty. Tens of thousands of people will die in the world, but if the Taiqing Palace collapses and the emperor is gone, there will be no sun. It's chaos in the wild, and people are like beasts!" "What the eldest princess said is very reasonable!" Xie Qiwei was the first to echo, he didn't say "reasonable" vaguely, but supported with the words "extremely reasonable", which is already rare. All the ministers responded in unison: "What the eldest princess said is very reasonable!" "Vice Envoy Cheng, do you understand?" The eldest princess's voice became persuasive, gentle and amiable, "Our Bai family cannot be overthrown by one or two Ying Wuyi, nor can a few princes be overthrown. I was ordered by the heavens, and my foundation is solid, so I will be one with the earth under your feet. Bai Yi, a famous general in the world, and Ying Wuyi, even if he can escape, will definitely suffer heavy losses. After that, loyal princes such as Chu Weiguo and Tang Kingdom can rise up again What is there to be afraid of, a martial artist from a border area in Wuyi? And Hua Ye wants to go beyond the etiquette and lead the cavalry through the king's domain. Who can guarantee that he will not take the opportunity to make trouble? And once this ban is lifted, the princes and horses in the future will demand With the help of Tianqi City, where is the majesty of the emperor's family?" Her slender shadow stood up in the sarong, and bowed to the emperor Yingying behind the curtain: "Your Majesty, please repel Hua Ye and order him to strictly abide by his duties. Don't delay the opportunity to fight the Li army at the entrance of Dangyang Valley as soon as possible! " "What the eldest princess said is also my heart!" The emperor cheered up, but hesitated slightly, "But the battle at Shangyang Pass, without Hua Ye...is it all right?" "I'm a woman, and I don't know much about marching and fighting. However, Your Majesty hasn't read the letter from Liang Qiusong, the minister of the state of Chun. It is this loyal minister who insists on persuading the minister of Chun, Send the strongest army to serve the king, can your majesty trust his judgment?" The eldest princess said with a gentle smile. "Letter from Liang Qiusong? Present it!" The emperor was even more surprised. A maid in the sarong walked out slowly, climbed up the steps holding a wooden tray, and presented the letter in the hands of the guards.The emperor took the letter and unfolded it, quickly scanning the entire letter until he saw the last sentence, and nodded slightly. "As the eldest son said, let Hua Ye kill the enemy as soon as possible. If he wants to cross the king's domain, he must first make three requests! Otherwise, he will not see Ying Wuyi, and the Yulin Heavenly Army is his enemy!" The emperor said resoundingly. "Yes!" The ministers echoed in unison. The emperor glanced at the letter again, and the last sentence was simple and to the point: "Hua Ye, a fierce tiger, can be driven to eat people, but not kept in a nursing home!"
