Chapter 911 Yuzhou generals concealed

At the end of the second year of Zhiping, during the winter moon, the weather was cold and the ground was freezing. It had been snowing heavily for many days. The wind and snow finally stopped. The sky and the earth were mostly covered with snow. The glowing sun that had not been seen for many days finally came out. The whole scene is revealed, the golden sunrays are falling, and reflected by the ice and snow, it is magnificent and dazzling.

As the sun rises, the temperature gradually rises, causing the ice and snow to begin to melt. Snow begins to drip from the tall trees, and the roads and fields become muddy. At a glance, there are few people around.

There has been a lot of unrest in Bianjing City in recent days. Xixia moved north and invaded the northwest border. The imperial court sent Li Zhan, the privy envoy who had previously defeated Xixia, as commander, to march to the northwest. It has been two months since then. There is bad news on the border. Continuously, first the British Duke was ambushed, resulting in the destruction of the 50,000-strong army, and then Zhang Ying and Shen Congxing avenged the British Duke, leading to a rash advance, which again led to the partial army being surrounded. In order to rescue the two men, Prime Minister Li Zhan had to fight head-on. The Xixia cavalry dueled and was defeated in one battle. There were not many survivors of the 300,000-strong army. The situation on the northwest border was worrying and people were panicked.

After hearing the news, the eldest lady and Concubine Liu took the initiative to launch a coup and rebellion. Under the slogan of abolishing the foolish emperor and establishing a new emperor, the war started again in Bianjing City. For a time, everyone in the powerful family was in danger and did not dare to Move around.

Even Grand Prime Minister Han was captured by the rebels and dragged out of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He was almost beheaded by the rebels to intimidate the ministers.

Fortunately, Ningyuan Marquis Gu Tingye's magic soldiers descended from the sky and shot the rebels to death with one arrow. Only then did they save the embarrassed Prime Minister Han, and then led the army to successfully quell the rebellion at dawn and bring peace to Bianjing.

Many civil and military families in the Manchu Dynasty suffered military disasters and were attacked by rebel troops. They suffered countless casualties and were horrific to watch.

However, there are exceptions. The Dingyuan Marquis Mansion did not suffer any invasion overnight. The rebels seemed to have never seen it and bypassed the surroundings. The vegetation was not damaged, which was surprising.

Gu Tingye looked at the Dingyuan Hou Mansion in front of him, waved and turned around, leaving the place. He originally thought that Li Zhan would kill enemies for the country and fight bloody battles. Although he could not go with him, he could still take care of the Dingyuan Hou Mansion, but seeing this Scene, I have to admire Li Zhan's specialness.

Gu Tingye has found out clearly that the eldest empress strictly prohibited the rebels from disturbing the Dingyuan Hou Mansion. Although the rebels later became red-blooded, they still remembered the friendship between Li Zhan and them when he was organizing the army in Bianjing and training together, so Only then will Qiu make no mistakes.

At the beginning of the rebellion, the British Duke led the generals of Yuzhou to attack Mian Sheng.

Fuyuan Hall, the official residence.

The official was sitting on the huanghuali dragon-carved imperial chair, listening to the report from the British Duke on how to quell the chaos. He breathed a sigh of relief and felt refreshed. He could finally break free from the control of the eldest empress and no longer had to be controlled by others. , I am the only one who dominates.

The official nodded happily and said to the generals with great satisfaction.

"Thank you for your hard work, dear sir. After today, I can finally let go, rectify the administration, strengthen the country and the army, and prepare for the future Northern Expedition to regain my homeland!"

When the British Duke heard this, his expression was a little strange. He glanced at the officials hesitantly, and then at the generals who were looking at each other. Finally, he gritted his teeth, took two steps forward, and spoke again.

"Guan family, there is one more thing that I would like to report to you!"

Perhaps because he finally won the battle with the eldest lady, the official was in a good mood and said happily.

"My dear, do you have anything to report? Just say it!"

The British Duke lowered his head, not daring to look at the officials. He stared at the white marble on the ground and whispered.

"Prime Minister Li Zhan did not obey His Majesty's decree, used the Emperor's Sword to control the generals, and launched an army for the Northern Expedition!"

The official's color suddenly changed and he flew into a rage. His palms slammed down on the imperial desk with a bang. The memorial on the desk was shaken so much that it jumped up. This shows that the official used a lot of force and was very angry. Asked loudly.

"How dare he disobey my order and raise troops to go north?"

The British Master raised his head slightly and glanced at the official's house, but he still found an excuse to plead for Li Zhan and said softly.

"It happened that the Xixia cavalry invaded Qiugu, so the Prime Minister had no choice but to divide his troops by 150,000. He asked us to lead the army back to the court to quell the rebellion, and he led the army to fight against Xixia!"

The official's anger subsided slightly after hearing this. He didn't expect such a thing to happen and asked in a deep voice.

"How many soldiers and horses have been dispatched by Xixia? Does Bianjing need some reinforcements?"

The British minister was a little embarrassed when he heard this, he hesitated and refused to speak clearly, so he just said.

"I don't know, but I just heard from the Prime Minister that the Xixia army invaded the border, so I was angry and went to the north!"

The official glanced at the British Duke hesitantly, not knowing why, and then looked at the Yuzhou generals, Gu Tingye and others, and asked.

"Do you know the details?"

Gu Tingye glanced at the British Duke, bowed and stepped out of the queue, and said loudly.

"I am reporting to the official family. I am the same as the British Duke. I don't know the details. I just guess that there should be no less than 100,000 Xixia troops invading the border, so I would let the prime minister make such a decision!"

The official's brows furrowed a little, and his kind face gradually became a little unpredictable. He looked at Shen Congxing and asked.

"And you?"

Shen Congxing stood up, glanced at the other generals, and replied.

"I don't know, but I just agree with Gu Hou. The Prime Minister is a famous general in the world, so he must have made this decision after careful consideration!"

Hearing this, the officials felt a little less worried. Shen Congxing was his brother-in-law and the uncle of the dynasty, so he naturally stood in his position, so he should not make false statements to deceive the emperor.

The official turned his attention to the other generals and spoke with a hint of inquiry.

"what about you?"

All the generals stood up one after another and said respectfully.

"I don't know the details, but I think so."

Only one person sat on the chair without making a sound, looking at the generals in disbelief. Is this his colleague Pao Ze? Why did he always put in good words for the arrogant and domineering Li Zhan and hide the true facts of the officialdom?

General Xiao Duan had a look of dissatisfaction on his face, and a trace of jealousy and resentment flashed in his eyes. He stood up directly, took two steps forward, walked to the side of the British public, and reported the report.

"Officials and ministers have different knowledge and knowledge!"

The British public and others all changed their expressions, and looked at General Xiao Duan to stop him, hoping that he would shut up. Although Li Zhan had made them lose face, they were all military generals, and they all admired Li Zhan's actions. Although They couldn't go together to kill the enemy, but they didn't want to ruin Li Zhan's Northern Expedition, so they tried their best to conceal it, thinking that it would be best to delay it for a while.

General Xiao Duan ignored everyone's stopping glances and continued without changing his expression.

"In the official family, there were only a hundred or so Xixia troops invading the border at that time. Li Zhan acted boldly and directly exaggerated it to mean that the Xixia army was invading the border, and deceived the army to go north!"

The official's face darkened instantly, he stared at General Xiao Duan, and then looked around at the generals. The atmosphere was extremely heavy.

Thank you for your continued reward, and continue to work hard to update! ! !
