Chapter 445: Would rather die than betray

"You, aren't you in danger?"
Wu Fa was crying without tears, and the ease and joy of recovering from a serious illness suddenly fell to the bottom of the valley, but he had to endure not to let himself say rude things.
Beili can't offend, as long as the conditions are not too much, all agreed.
This is what Ning Chengzhi said to him before he left Dongling, but now Beili wants half of Dongling's mountains and mountains. Is this too much?
He didn't know if it was too much for Ning Chengzhi, but he thought-it couldn't be more!
"Master Wu's words are bad."
The old Chen Jingxing is here, standing against his hands, "I Beili is a friend of Dongling, and sending Erlang of Beili to restore the lost land for Dongling is naturally the responsibility of the friendly nations. But the movement of troops requires grain, ordnance, and it is inevitable Casualties, Master Wu will never let me Beili sacrifice human and financial resources? "
Wu Fa busyly said: "My Majesty Dongling had already anticipated this. As long as your country is willing to send troops to help, we will all need money, food and grass-"
"Hey."
Chen Jingxing waved his hand and pointed around, "Is this the first time that you have come to Beijing, Master Wu? Although you have been sick for a few days, you should also be able to see how rich and powerful I am Beili and how powerful I am. The rare and precious medicine you use is of great value, and the pillow at your hand, which is gold silk. "
Wu Fa withdrew his hands subconsciously, looking at the pillow with two points of respect.
Chen Jingxing was very satisfied with his cautious appearance, his mouth slightly tilted, "So our Majesty does not want Dongling's money, but only wants these ten cities as compensation for the loss of manpower and material resources of my Beili. Oh, right--"
The radian of his smile widened further, "My official came to inform your ambassador today instead of discussing with you. You only need to tell Ning Emperor our conditions and promise to say everything. If you don't agree, wait Yin Shuo became the emperor of Dongling, and our Majesty will definitely send troops to avenge Ning Emperor. "
Wu Fa was even more surprised.
If according to Chen Jingxing, once Dongling's imperial army defeats, there will be sufficient reasons for Yin Shuo to occupy the Dongling Jiangbeili and send troops to conquer it.
The morale of the insurgents was enough to fear that they would not be able to stop the strength of the Beili army. At that time, wouldn't it be to slay all the land in Dongling to others?
If we promise now, at least half of the country will be preserved.
His heart was loose, and he got up quickly and said, "Okay, I'll go back and sue our Majesty!"
Seeing him filled out to direct the person to pack his luggage, Chen Jingxing froze instead.
"Your Majesty did not see Master Wu's face at that time. It seems that Mrs. Ning is right. The Dongling court is imminent. The conditions we have proposed are nominally ten major towns, which actually cover half of Dongling's land. Chen originally thought that Master Wu would at least bargain and did not want him to dare to argue. "
Chen Jingxing went back to the palace to sue Yufu. Yufu was also quite surprised. He thought that this condition was too large and the other party would not agree, and Wu Fa didn't want to be so happy.
If the pressure in the middle of the country is so helpless, which courtier is willing to kill half of the country?
Yufu said: "If you really want to send troops to Dongling, the urban defense at the border will need to send more staff. By the way, how is General Ouyang's injury?
Chen Jingxing arched his hand and said, "General Ouyang is not too young. This open wound is not a trivial matter. He is still lying on the bed and never got up."
Yufu nodded, "At that time, I'm afraid I have to let the second brother go there."
Wu Fa hastily left Beijing, and now all they can do is wait for the response from the Dongling Dynasty.
Yu Fu approves the discount for a long time, stands up from the back of the royal case, stretches a bit, and chaos Yao Lan said: "Let's go to the East Palace to see Yu Yang."
Although the Beili Palace is magnificent, most of the palaces have not been repaired for a long time. Only the East Palace where Jade assisted after returning to the country and the central palace group mainly composed of the Golden Palace and the Longevity Palace in the early Dynasty were repaired.
In particular, the harem has always been uninhabited, and Yufu ordered that no repairs were necessary to avoid wasting money on useless things.
She simply arranged Kun Yuyang and her two children to the East Palace, lived in the apse where Gu Shubai had lived before, and sent a delicate housemaid and grandmother to serve.
She was also worried that Kun Yuyang would inevitably be sad when she experienced the pain of bereavement. From time to time, she would come to see it.
Before Yujing fell in front of the East Palace, the palace people hurried to greet him. Yao Lan helped Yufu's men to get off the limousine. They just felt that the weather was cold day by day.
She was accustomed to the warmth of Dongling, like spring, but she was not used to it when she returned to the north.
"Yu Yang came from Qingyang and Jane. They must have no clothes. At this time, remember to give them more winter clothes, especially not to freeze the children."
As Yufu walked inward, Yao Lan said with a smile: "It has been delivered long ago. I heard that the stove in the palace of the two little boys has already been smoked. I'm afraid the child can't stand it.
The palace girl came to meet her, "Have seen Her Majesty, is your Majesty here to find Mrs. Ning? Slave, let's go through the pass."
"You don't have to pass it, I just go in."
She entered the main hall, and Yao Lan took off the woven golden cloak on her body and hung it on the shelf. Yufu Chaotang looked and did not see Kun Yuyang.
When I looked closely, I found that she was behind the book case in the inner room. I didn't know what she was looking at so much.
"Yu Yang."
Sure enough, Yu Fu gently called, and Kun Yu raised his head in surprise.
She hurried forward from behind the book case, "Your Majesty."
"When there is no one, I still call the former name, so do the older brother and the second brother. It is enough to use the honorary name in front of outsiders.
Yu Fu patted her hand with a smile, Kun Yuyang glanced outside the palace, smiled slightly, "OK."
Yufu regarded her as the same person as Gu Shubai, not only did she make good friends, but also her best friends, which made her come to be called by the former.
Coupled with her meticulous care for herself and her children these days, Kun Yuyang was moved. "Yufu, do you know? The thing I am most thankful for now is that I met you at the spring banquet of Princess Danyang that year. If Without you, my children and I will die of war and vengeance. You will not repay my friendship and kindness in this life! "
Yufu said quickly: "What are these things to do? You and I are friends. At the time, you took the risk of going alone from the paddock and told us that Yin Shuo and the great prince had conspired to kill the emperor. There was also planning by Ning Tangshu at the execution ground Save the generals, aren't these the kindness of your husband and wife to us? It is no longer a day or two that we can help each other. It doesn't have to be so clear. "
Kun Yuyang's expression eased a little. She was raised in the palace finely these days. Her mental state looked much better, not as frosty as when she first entered the palace.
auzw.com Yufu said again, "Yes, there is good news for you. The envoy named Wu Fa has returned to Dongling with our conditions. He did not agree with Chen. The adults bargained, and we received all the terms as required. Fortunately, you brought news of the Dongling Dynasty, otherwise where do we know which cities are still under the control of the court and which cities have been occupied by the insurgents? "
Kun Yuyang smiled slightly. "That's all I can do. Fortunately, Ning Xuan knows that I have a bored at home, and that our Xi Kun women like military and military affairs. So when he marches, he will encounter any new situation. Write to tell me that it was only to relieve me of boring. I didn't want to use it at this time. "
What suddenly came to her mind, "Oh, yes, you take a look at this!"
It was said that he took Yufu's hand and walked towards the book case. Yufu took a closer look. It was a strategic plan for Dongling. The situation of the insurgents and the imperial army is marked with green and red dots on the top, and the specific number of people is marked next to it.
Yufu couldn't help wondering, thinking that Kun Yuyang was in the East Palace either to take care of her children or to be sad for Ning Xuan, and didn't want her to have the intention to do this.
"Yufu, take a look. This is a letter I wrote to me through Ningxuan and some comments from the generals of the North and Central China. They are summarily scattered. Probably not wrong, but this is me after all The situation before leaving Dongling, the situation may change now. "
She stretched out her hand, pointing at the dense green points, connecting them into a line with the palm of her hand, and then quickly moved in the direction of Emperor Lin'an.
"If I had a good estimate of the progress of the insurgents, they are now at least near this line."
The speed of her palm's advance was fast and accurate, like a bamboo shoot, Yufu couldn't help imagining the realistic picture, as if he saw the scene of bloodshed between the two armies.
She shook her head slightly and removed those pictures from her own head. "Although Yin Shuo was a literary minister, he was not good at leading troops, but he had a lot of hearts. You see, the insurgents attacked from south to north, near Lin'an. But he detoured and continued to develop northward. "
Kun Yuyang looked closely at the picture she marked. Yufu said that it was true. In addition to the large green spots in the south, there were a few scattered spots in the north.
These points are between the ten major towns that Beili wants, and they are spreading rapidly.
Kun Yuyang nodded. "The North Koreans speculate that Yin Shuo's move is to surround Lin'an, so that he can catch them. Lin'an is the capital of Dongling. I dare not say that it is as solid as gold soup, but the city defense is always several times tighter than other cities. A direct attack on Lin'an may not be possible, but if the siege and the reinforcements are cut off, Lin'an can no longer be strong. Perhaps this is why Ning Di hurriedly sent someone to Beili for help. "
"Is it surrounded?"
Yu Fu smiled lightly, "I always feel that his hand is basically to prevent Beili from sending troops to aid. He is so smart that he can think of Ning Di's willingness to cede the country rather than be killed by rebels."
Kun Yuyang realized suddenly, "What you said is really true, but his army is a peasant forced by heavy donations and heavy taxes, and he has not received formal training. His weak combat ability and poor commandability are his weaknesses. Only numbers is his advantage. "
"Yes. The combat power is poor but the number is large, and the morale of the rebellion is enough to make them all the way. Even if the troop strength is sacrificed, it does not matter, you can continue to recruit new soldiers along the way."
Yufu thought like this, and suddenly smiled, "Dongling is densely populated, there are many good fields, and there are many farmers. Yin Shuo can also absorb many people, but now it is different. A large number of exiles have poured into Beili and Xikun. Dongling's The population is gradually declining. Yin Shuo wants to win the final victory by sea tactics. It will not last forever. "
Kun Yu Yang said, "But when I left Dongling, I heard that Yin Shuo's insurgents were controlling the people and they were not allowed to flee to neighboring countries. Instead, the court did not do so. On the one hand, it was self-care, and on the other, it felt that the people were It ’s okay to leave, at least not to join the rebel army. "
Yufu pondered for a moment, "He can't stop it. Water can carry a boat and it can overturn it. The people's mind is the thing that can't be changed with power. He can stop it for a while, and it can't stop it forever."
The Dongling Dynasty quickly heard the news that Ning Chengzhi agreed to the conditions of ten major towns.
Because Yin Shuo's insurgents had already hit Huzhou, breaking through this level, the Imperial Capital Lin'an was completely exposed.
However, according to the latest investigation, one of the ten major towns has been captured by the insurgents. It is Linzhou.
Without further ado, Gu Jiuge immediately led his army to the border for reinforcements. On the night when Gu Jiuge's army arrived, Gu Shubai led his army to advance toward the East Spirit.
They race against time, with almost no gaps.
The defender of the border will become Gu Jiuge, and Gu Shubai led his army to Zhenjiang.
Zhenjiang, this is the city that has the most favorable feelings for Beili.
The people were almost welcoming and greeted Gu Shubai's army into the city, but in their mouths they shouted, "Princess Zhenjiang, Her Majesty Zhenjiang!"
This place was once the land of Yufu in Dongling. The name of Princess Zhenjiang was spread all over the world and was loved by the people.
Now the people are in deep water, and they learn that the city was ceded to Beili by Ning Chengzhi. Not only did they not have the stigma of bereavement and disgrace, they were very happy.
Beili's national strength is strong. Her Majesty Beili was once the Princess of Zhenjiang. She will surely guard this city!
Gu Shubai and his party received a great deal of courtesy. On that night, the Zhenjiang garrison handed over an official document and prepared to leave Zhenjiang and rush to Lin'an.
"This general, a thousand people in the Zhenjiang garrison, do you want to take these thousand people to Lin'an?"
General Gu Shubai gathered the official documents, and heard about the situation of the Zhenjiang garrison, and could not help asking more.
Dongling has never fortified the border on the side of Beili, because Beili has never invaded Dongling and Xikun. This is a default rule.
After Yu Fu's identity was confirmed by Dongling, the garrison increased slightly. A city can be guarded by a thousand people.
By comparison, the number of insurgents who are roaring outside is still too small.
Gu Shubai said: "Linzhou has been captured by the insurgents. If the general leads his army out of Zhenjiang and meets the insurgents, this thousand people are afraid that they are not enough to make appetizers. It ’s possible to go everywhere in Linan It's too dangerous to meet the insurgents. "
The general's face was earth-colored, showing a smile that was uglier than crying, "Thank you, Major General Hanging."
Gu Shubai Yizheng said, "The general was originally a centurion under General Gu Jiajun's battalion, but was later transferred to Zhenjiang as a defender. The generals were low, and the major general did not recognize it. normal."
Gu Shubai smiled slightly when he met the old friend.
He sat down by the general, "Although Gu Jiajun is gone, since you were my Gu Jiajun and I was a major general, you can listen to me. Even if you don't care about yourself, you have to Take care of the lives of these thousand soldiers. You are out of Zhenjiang, and you are afraid that few will be able to live to Lin'an. "
The general wiped a tear, "Major general, the imperial court's purpose is to let our guards in the nine cities return to North Korea for reinforcements, with the exception of Linzhou. Linzhou has been captured and all the guards in the city have been killed The military order must not be violated. Why doesn't the end general know that going back is a dead end? The end general is not afraid of death, he is afraid of not being able to die in defense of the imperial capital, but dying unclearly on the road! "
Gu Shubai thought about it. Even if there were 1,000 people in each of the nine cities, it would still be difficult to resist the momentum of the rebels even if they totaled 10,000.
He didn't want to see these innocent soldiers cross the corpse, his blood turned into nonsense.
Thinking for a moment, he said, "Since this is the case, you better stay in Zhenjiang and don't leave."
The general was surprised. As a Gu Jiajun man, he naturally convinced Gu Shubai, but now they belong to the two camps. Gu Shubai is
Want him to bring a thousand soldiers to the army of Beili?
He gritted his teeth and stood up from the seat. "Major general, the general will overlook Beili's border city in Zhenjiang far away, and often thinks that if he can go to Beili and run to you, it is good. But with this opportunity today, the general Only to find out that he couldn't do this. Dongling's rivers and mountains were already shaky. At this time, would the general betray the army, wouldn't he become a national thief? The ultimate death would not be so! "
