Chapter 229 (2/2)
”Hum, no! He ordered Fan Yang's left Shence garrison to return to Gyeonggi province and be sure to remove the danger of wulaoguan. ”
It is the intention of the border troops to return to defense. However, the number of border troops is insufficient and it is difficult to retreat from the enemy.
The emperor also knew the difficulties, but he didn't know the current situation of Zuo Shence, and he still had expectations for Zhang Zhen.
It was also with his consent that Li Chengye abandoned his strategy and stormed Xuzhou. Although he knew that Li Chengye's policy was a perfect one, he was afraid that the time would drag on for a long time, making it more unbearable for the government of the DPRK and China.
And his own body may not be able to support it for too long. If the Dragon controls bin Tian before calming the thief, the little emperor will succeed at the time of chaos in the world. How can we suppress these fierce border town generals in troubled times? I'm afraid that when the flames of war start, it's not just Henan road.
Therefore, the emperor agreed to Zhang Zhen's strategy of military adventure. At the beginning, he moved eastward to Bozhou and surrounded it for support. It also made him have no doubt about this strategy. But after entering Xuzhou, everything changed!
It is false to say that he does not regret, but as an emperor and a mature ruler, he has the courage to take responsibility and face the reality, which is also the most basic quality.
Now we can only temporarily make up for the lost sheep and pay attention to the development of the situation. We must find out the real military situation on the front line!
Thinking that the emperor would issue another decree to make elite scouts investigate the war situation, he would secretly send palace experts to Xuzhou.
Just as he was about to speak, a guard in front of the hall hurried in and reported it.
”Inform your majesty that Princess Shouning attendants master the emergency military situation and come to report!”
Even after decades of Nourishing Qi, the emperor couldn't help standing up and the ministers looked out together.
”Enter the hall with a proclamation!”
A woman dressed in linen and Ge clothes, stained with blood and messy hair, hurried into the hall with a scroll of letters in her hand.
The emperor naturally recognized her. He personally sent her to Shouning princess. She was a martial arts expert in the innate realm. At this time, he was very injured and tired.
You can imagine what kind of bloody battle she experienced all the way back to the city. A congenital master almost died in the war. You can imagine the danger on the way.
The emperor stopped the eunuch around him from taking the letter. Instead, he went down the steps and took back the princess's letter from the maid. And did not immediately look, but looked at the maid.
Wen Yan said, ”you've worked hard, and you should go back to the palace to heal and rest first. You have your own royal doctor to take care of you. If you have any requirements, try to mention them. The royal family will not treat meritorious officials badly.”
Even if the military situation was urgent, he could still appeal to people instinctively, which moved the maid who came back from life and death.
”Your Majesty, the front line, your highness...”
She didn't know if it would disturb the court, so she only whispered half, but she looked very anxious.
The emperor's heart sank, but he smiled, ”go down.”
Then sit back in the Dragon chair, open the letter of Princess Shouning, and read it word by word very carefully.
The ministers looked different. They secretly guessed the content of the letter, but they couldn't guess it. Then they remembered the maid just now. Although the traces of a lifetime of bloody war can only show that the situation in Gyeonggi province is dangerous, not how the war in Xuzhou is. It's so confusing.
The emperor smiled and read all the letters. After putting them down, he kept a seemingly satisfied smile and waved to retreat. In fact, his clenched fist was about to crush his fingers.
When I returned to the study and dismissed everyone, the blood gushing up to my throat suddenly spewed out because of emotional excitement.
”Li Qing, I'm wrong!”
