Chapter 611: Emperor Wei panics
After thinking about it, Shen Changgong was indeed a little distressed. He turned his head and looked behind him. He couldn't just dismantle the camp, right?
Suddenly, Tu Que Ling said slowly,
"I remember there were a lot of trees on Beimang Mountain, as well as many houses, imperial tombs, and so on.
We can dismantle the houses and the imperial mausoleum, and we can also dismantle any coffins and bring them here."
Upon hearing this, Shen Changgong and Gongsun Wan'er were greatly shocked.
"You are truly a living devil! Not only did you lift the lid of someone's coffin and take away the burial objects, you even tore the coffin apart. It's truly a blessing for the ancestors of the Wei Kingdom to have met you."
"My lord, you have given me the reward."
Tu Queling's pretty face turned slightly red and she turned her head away.
"Alright, let's do this. You go and make arrangements and have the prisoners do this. Try to transport the entire army here within five days."
Shen Changgong said.
The river here is quite wide, making it difficult to build a bridge. In addition, the army is large in number, so it takes a long time to cross.
If you go west, you need to go around more than a hundred miles and then come back. Just for that small boat bridge, it would take two days to pass 150,000 people, not to mention another 500,000 people.
And the bridge may have been demolished.
So we have to build a bridge, because the supply of food, ammunition and other supplies later also needs a bridge. We can't let the food and ammunition team take a long detour, right?
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from behind Shen Changgong, and it turned out that Zhang Han was galloping over with a general.
"My Lord, good news."
Zhang Han came over while riding his horse and laughing loudly.
"what happened?"
Shen Changgong asked.
Zhang Han pointed at the people around him and said,
"Look who's here?"
Shen Changgong looked at the man, thought for a moment, and said,
"Isn't this You Xin, the commander of the Sixth Corps of the Zhennan Army? Aren't you on the north bank?"
Zhang Han grinned and said,
"Your Highness, you don't know that this guy is rushing here at full speed with another 50,000 Zhennan troops."
"What? Another 50,000 Zhennan troops? How did they get here?"
Shen Changgong almost thought they flew over.
His mood at this moment was exactly the same as that of Zhang De'an, the former commander of the Wei army's riverside camp.
How did you get here?
You Xin dismounted from his horse, clasped his hands and said,
“Your Majesty, yesterday at noon, the King of the South was watching the battle on your side.
He felt uneasy, thinking that the enemy might launch a night attack and was afraid that you would not be able to stop them, so he sent our 50,000 Zhennan troops to the west to check.
If the bridge has not been demolished, let us come over to support you. If it has been demolished, you will have to fend for yourself.
We rushed over to take a look and saw that the bridge hadn't been dismantled yet."
Shen Changgong frowned when he heard this.
"I remember that the day before yesterday, I crossed the river and told Mr. Li to tear down the bridge. Why didn't he do it?"
"We also met the owner of the farm. He said, 'Your Highness, it's really not possible for you to go deep into the enemy's territory alone without a way to retreat.' So he thought of staying for a few more days. If you win, he will tear down the bridge and leave. If you lose, he can come back through their side.
Fortunately, it was not demolished, so we were able to catch up and rush over.
Last night, when we were on our way, we got lost in Beimang Mountain. It took us a long time to find our way out. We just got back here this morning.
The Southern King asked us to come to support, but we missed the opportunity to fight. Please punish us, Your Highness."
Shen Changgong suddenly realized and said with a smile,
"You are innocent, we won the battle and inflicted heavy losses on the enemy.
You've been traveling for a whole day and night, and you're exhausted. Go and rest. Zhang Han, make arrangements so the brothers have enough to eat and drink before going to bed."
"As ordered!"
Zhang Han laughed and left with You Xin.
Shen Changgong finally felt relieved and said,
"In this way, the Zhennan Army will be fully deployed. Even if that old Emperor Wei wants to escape, we won't be afraid.
Wan'er, send someone to keep an eye on Luoyang City. If the old emperor dares to escape, notify him immediately."
"it is good."
"Also, send another 1,000 taels of silver to Li Changzhu as a reward. Have him dispatch two medium-sized ships for us to use when we go to persuade the Luohe navy to surrender."
Gongsun Wan'er said,
"Your Highness, they have nothing to do right now, so why not have them dismantle the bridge and row their boats over so they can transport supplies between the two sides?
We are running low on ammunition, so we should pay him more rent."
"Well... that's fine, go ahead."
"okay."
Everyone rode back to the barracks together.
Gongsun Wan'er went to give Shen Changgong's orders, asking the captives to go to Beimang Mountain to cut wood, and the spies in Luoyang City to pay attention to the movements of Emperor Wei, and asked the owner Li Shanyue to row all the boats over.
As for Shen Changgong, he went back to bed to catch up on his sleep.
……
Luoyang City, fifty miles to the south.
The messenger arrived in Luoyang City earlier than the defeated soldiers, arriving almost at dawn.
But he did not shout, he just asked for an urgent journey of eight hundred miles and went directly to meet the emperor.
At this time, Cao De was still in the harem, hugging a minister's wife and sleeping soundly.
She was gently awakened by a palace maid.
"When is it?"
Cao De asked as he opened his eyes drowsily.
"Your Majesty, it's three quarters past midnight."
"Oh, it's time to go to court, right?"
In recent days, the Yan army has been approaching, so court sessions have to be held every day. However, Cao De could not get up in the morning, so he changed the morning court session from Mao time to Chen time, saying that if people get up too early, their minds will be confused and they will not be able to think, so it is better to attend court later.
He was also confused now and thought it was time to go to court.
"No, Your Majesty, an urgent soldier came to report it from eight hundred miles away."
"Eight hundred miles expedited? What's going on?"
Hearing this, Cao De's eyes widened instantly and said,
"whats the matter?"
"The soldiers said that the commander-in-chief in the north lost the battle against the Yan army and is retreating."
"What? Lost?"
Cao De frowned, his head buzzed, and he almost fainted.
The young woman beside him hurriedly stood up and supported him, her breasts half exposed, exuding an alluring spring light.
Cao De thought to himself that he was finished. He took two deep breaths and said,
"Go quickly and convey my order, beat the drum to gather the ministers, and convene a court meeting.
In addition, we should rush to inform Cao Xiang and ask him to come back as soon as possible and come directly to the court to tell him that the time has come to decide the life or death of our Great Wei.
Go quickly! "
"The slaves obey the order."
The palace maid hurried out to find the guards to pass on the message.
Cao De put on the dragon robe with the help of other palace maids and said to the beauty on the bed,
"You, go home."
There was one more thing Cao De didn't say, which was to reunite with his family for the last time. In a few days, no one knew whether he was dead or alive.
"Is the Emperor dissatisfied with me?"
The young woman said pitifully.
"In this palace, you can take whatever you want and leave. Consider it a reward."
"emperor……"
The young woman wanted to keep him and try to win his favor, but all she got in return was a cold word from the Emperor Wei.
"roll!"
