Chapter 95 God's will

"Emperor, the big thing is not good, and the military situation is urgent, so I have to disturb the emperor's rest." Shi Wenqing hurriedly explained that if the emperor knew that he was peeking at Concubine Zhang's naked body, he might be killed in anger.

"Oh." Chen Shubao blinked, not understanding why Shi Wenqing said a few days ago that the Sui army would retreat soon. Now the military situation is suddenly urgent, so he quickly pushed Zhang Lihua's body: "My beloved concubine, get up and put on your clothes and listen to how the military situation is urgent."

Zhang Lihua was favored by Chen Shubao for more than ten years, not entirely because of her beauty, but also because of her keen talent and extraordinary memory. When Chen Shubao was in court, he sometimes even carried her to his knees to decide on major affairs in the world. All officials reported on national affairs, and Zhang Lihua often knew it.

In addition to this reason, another reason is that Zhang Lihua is the opposite of Dugu and is not jealous. In addition to pampering Zhang Lihua, Chen Shubao also has Gong Guipin, Kong Guipin, Wang, Li Ermei, Zhang, Xue Ershuyuan, Yuan Zhaoyi, He Jieyu, Jiang Xiurong and others in the palace. Some beauties were recommended to Chen Shubao. Zhang Lihua often said to Chen Shubao: "Your Majesty, don't think that only men love to see beauties. In fact, beautiful women love to see beauties more. Beauties are like clouds, competing for beauty, and showing a unique red apricot, which is interesting."

Because of these two advantages, no matter how many beauties Chen Shubao has in the harem, he always loves Zhang Lihua. Seeing that the emperor was still leisurely flirting with Concubine Zhang at this time, Shi Wenqing was anxious, but he knew that he could not offend Zhang Lihua, so he hurriedly retreated.

Zhang Lihua had actually woken up long ago and found that the quilt was suddenly lifted by the emperor. There were other men in the room, so she had to pretend to be asleep. As soon as Shi Wenqing stepped down, Zhang Lihua moaned and opened her eyes and rebuked: "Master, how can you lift my quilt at will."

Seeing Zhang Lihua's charming look, Chen Shubao couldn't help but touch her again, and said vaguely: "Don't worry, my concubine, Shi Aiqing is my right hand. If it weren't for him and Shen Aiqing, how could I have so much time to have fun? It would be nothing to show him a look."

It took them half an hour to get up. Looking at the palace maids and the eunuchs shuttled into the bedroom, they could not see the emperor and the imperial concubine. Shi Wenqing and Kong Fan were as anxious as ants in the hot void, constantly wandering around outside. Only then did they realize that the generals were anxious as if they were waiting for them to meet at the storefront.

Finally, Chen Shubao finally put on his clothes and came out with Concubine Zhang. Shi Wenqing could no longer bear it and said loudly: "Emperor, the Sui general He Ruobi entered Zhongshan from the north, and the Sui general Yan Rong was close to the east of the capital. The Sui general Han Qinhu led his troops to attack Xinlin from the south, not far from the Zhuque Gate. The Sui prince and the King of Jin personally served as the military supervisor and the marshal of the marching. In addition, there were reports that at least tens of thousands of Sui navy were cruising in the Liuhe area in Jiangbei."

"Ah." Chen Shubao was shocked by the series of numbers reported by Shi Wenqing, and said to Zhang Lihua tremblingly: "My beloved, things are urgent, what do you think?"

Zhang Lihua was not as confused as Chen Shubao. Her eyebrows were raised, and her phoenix face was covered with frost. Her phoenix eyes widened and she asked Shi Wenqing: "Shi Aiqing, you didn't say that the Sui army was not immigrant to the soil and water a few days ago, and you would definitely leave after a long time. Why are there more and more Sui army outside the city? Have you deliberately deceived the emperor?"

"Yes, yes." Chen Shubao seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw: "Shi Aiqing, have you made a mistake? This time the generals in front lie about military information?"

Of course, Shi Wenqing wanted the generals in front to lie about military information, but this time the Sui army pushed it too close. Even standing at the top of Jiankang City, you could vaguely see the Sui army camp that stretched for more than ten miles outside the city. The gates in Jiankang City were closed, and even ordinary people knew that the Sui army was outside the city.

This Concubine Zhang was not easy to fool. Shi Wenqing turned his eyes several times, knelt on the ground with a thud, and said in tears: "Return to the priest, Empress, I dare not deceive me. Every sentence reported above is true. It is all blamed for the unfavorable warfare of those warriors. Otherwise, the Sui army would have retreated long ago. I did not share the worries of the priest. I should be extremely damn, and I should be extremely damn."

Chen Shubao suddenly had cold hands and feet, and he didn't care about prosecuting Shi Wenqing for his crimes, and said in a trembling voice: "The Sui army is at the city, are you guilty of retreating to the enemy?"

Shi Wenqing's eyes rolled a few times, and showed his eyes to Kong Fan. Kong Fan said, "Sage, as the saying goes, soldiers come to block the generals, and water comes to flood the earth. Xiao, Ren, the two generals, have been asking the emperor to ask them to lead their troops to fight a few days ago, so why not help them. As long as they are sincere in their duties, they will definitely be able to drive away the Sui army."

"Yes, that's it." Chen Shubao nodded repeatedly and shouted loudly: "What are you waiting for? Go and invite the two generals here quickly."

Soon, Xiao Mohe and Ren Zhong, who received the imperial edict, came to the hall with great strides. When they saw Shi Wenqing, Kong Fan and his eyes were open at the same time. These days, they saw the Sui army gathering more and more outside the city, but Shi Wenqing and Kong Fan and the other two kept suppressing the generals and refused to go out to fight. They could only watch the fighter planes gradually missed. All the knowledgeable people hated Shi Wenqing, Shen Keqing and others' abilities.

Shi Wenqing, Kong Fan and the two are old gods, and Xiao Moha and Ren Zhong have higher official positions than them, and their martial arts are even more skilled. However, with the emperor beside them, they don’t have to worry about the two of them being unfavorable to them.

Seeing Xiao and Ren and the others arrived, Chen Shubao hurriedly asked, "Two generals, I wonder what strategy do you have to retreat to the enemy?"

Seeing that the emperor finally asked about his plan to retreat to the enemy, Xiao Moke replied: "Sage, the Sui army has three groups of troops. He Ruobi is the most advanced and poses the greatest threat to the capital. I think it is better to concentrate superior forces to take down He Ruobi first. As long as He Ruobi's troops are wiped out, the rest of the Sui army will be shocked and they can only retreat."

However, Ren Zhong disagreed with Xiao Mohe's opinion and shouted: "Master, I don't agree with what General Xiao said.

"Oh, so General Ren's strategy is still above General Xiao, please come quickly."

Ren Zhong bowed and said quietly: "Yes, when the emperor returns to the emperor, although He Ruobi's troops are at the forefront, they have been in Zhongshan for more than twenty days. The deep ditch barriers are blocked. Even if our army goes out in full swing, it is not urgent to break it. Instead, it is dangerous to be surrounded by the other Sui army outside the city. If so, the Great Chen Mountains are in danger. The military strategy says: The guest army is beneficial to quick battles, and the main army is important to be strong. Now the capital is full of soldiers and food, and it is more than enough to defend for a year and a half. It is better to wait for the Sui army to attack the city. A few months later, it is the time when the spring flowers are blooming. When the river water rises sharply, the ships on the river are inconvenient to travel. The Sui army has been under the strong city for a long time and there is no support. The morale of the army will definitely fluctuate. If our army counterattacks a large scale, we will definitely win a complete victory."

"What? We have to wait until the spring is coming next year." Chen Shubao was annoyed when he heard this and said sternly: "If I wait until then, my body will probably be rotten. What's your idea? No, absolutely not."

Kong Fan quickly stirred up the flames next to him: "Master, when the Sui army first came, General Ren said that the Sui army was vulnerable and was competing to invite troops to fight. Now that he really wants to fight, General Ren pushed for three or four obstacles again, could it be that he was ill-intentioned?"

Shi Wenqing also began to speak: "The emperor should make a quick decision to repel the Sui army and defeat the enemy's back to capture the achievements. Otherwise, if the capital is trapped for a long time, even if it can resist the Sui army, it may cause local unrest and the country will collapse."

Shi Wenqing's words are not completely unreasonable. Chen Liguo has only been thirty-one years since then. Some of the remnants of the former Liang in the local area have not been completely eliminated. Chen Shubao is prepared for Xiao Yan and Xiao Xian's investment. In addition, the harsh taxes over the years have been a little heavy. If the capital is trapped for a long time and some ignorant people may start to catch fire when they are stolen.

Ren Zhong smiled bitterly when he heard this. Today is different. In the past, there were only He Ruobi's men outside Jiankang City. If Chen's army left the city, they could win the game. Now the Sui army outside the city has surpassed the Chen army. If there is a strong city, it is no different to take the initiative to fight to seek death. Today, the emperor still trusts Shi Wenqing and Kong Fan. Ren Zhong couldn't help but feel discouraged and simply kept silent.

After hearing Shi and Kong and the other two said, Chen Shubao immediately eliminated Ren Zhong's strategy of defending the country, turned to Xiao Mohe and said with a sob: "At this critical moment, I will entrust Da Chen Jiangshan to the general. Can the general lead the army to fight and ensure that my Da Chen Jiangshan is not lost?"

Seeing the emperor's trust, Xiao Mohe said with a sigh: "Don't worry, the Sui army bullies me too much. Today's battle is not only for the country, but also for your own wife and children. I will definitely fight to the end. I will never retreat if I defeat the Sui army."

Chen Shubao was immediately overjoyed when he heard this: "Excellent, great, I have no worries if I have said this to you." He immediately appointed Xiao Mohe as the commander-in-chief of the water and land armies, commanded 80,000 elite troops from the city to fight against the Sui army, and ordered Xiao Mohe to summon his wife and son to the palace to reward him. In fact, it also meant to monitor. However, because Ren Zhong suggested that he defended comprehensively, which was not in line with Chen Shubao's intention, he had only a deputy governor and followed Xiao Mohe to fight.

Eighty thousand Chen troops left the city in a mighty way and headed towards the direction where He Ruobi's troops were located. Xiao Maha took Lu Guangda as the vanguard and set up his formation in Baitugang, at the southernmost point of the army. From the north were Ren Zhong, Fan Yi, and Kong Fan, while Xiao Maha led his army to the north and the south. The army was connected to the end and end, and pressed against He Ruobi.

He Ruobi had only 20,000 vanguards. When he saw Chen's army going to fight, he was not afraid, but was ecstatic. Jiankang City had high walls and thick walls, and had sufficient soldiers and food. If he wanted to attack forcibly, he might not be able to capture it for several months. Chen's army took the initiative to fight, just in his wish, and immediately sent someone to send orders to the rear to encircle and annihilate the Chen army in the northern city. At the same time, he personally led 8,000 troops to fight with Lu Guangda into a regiment.

The Sui army had excellent uniforms and armor, and they were stuck on the mountain, just like a tiger going down the mountain, while the Chen army was trapped in the city for a long time. Once they left the city, just like a dragon going out to sea. Lu Guangda was a rare general. The two sides collided and they were indistinguishable from each other. Both sides suffered heavy casualties, but no one was willing to take a step back.

After crossing the river, He Ruobi was a little arrogant and arrogant. He thought that the Chen army was not worthy of attack this time, but he did not expect that when Lu Guangda's troops were killed or injured, he was still at a slight disadvantage. His troops were not as good as Lu Guangda. He almost even He Ruobi was surrounded by the Chen army several times. He Ruobi was shocked and put away his previous arrogance and retreated several times. Lu Guangda led his army to chase him. He Ruobi had no choice but to retreat into the village in shame, and the Chen army stopped pursuing.

In this battle, the Sui army suffered a thousand casualties. The Chen army won the first battle and his morale was shocked. They surrounded the entire Zhongshan, with the intention of swallowing the troops of General He Ruobi.

The Xinlin people yelled twenty miles outside Jiankang City, and Han Qin's army was stationed here. Yang Yong, Yang Guang, Han Qinhu, Gao Ying, Wang Shao, Xue Daoheng, Du Yan... all gathered in a large tent, preparing to discuss ways to take down Jiankang.

Gao Ying had never returned to appease the remnants of Liang State in Jingzhou. A few days ago, Yang Yong transferred him to participate in the attack on Southern Chen. Gao Ying himself had outstanding strategies. However, from the start of the Battle of Crossing the River to now, only about a month, the Sui army had all crossed the river, and Jiankang was surrounded by more than 200,000 troops. The Sui army achieved unprecedented success. Everyone knew that if there was no accident, if it was unified this time, Yang Yong transferred Gao Ying over, which also made Gao Ying get a share of the great achievements of unifying the world.

Although the Sui army went well, it was necessary to maintain a 500,000 army to attack across the river. In order to win the hearts of the people in Jiangnan, it was impossible to collect food and grass on the spot. The materials consumed every day were a huge amount, so it was better to fight quickly. However, if you want to attack, no one was sure to quickly capture Jiankang. Yang Yong and others were racking their brains to lure Chen's army out of the city to fight a decisive battle.

A fast horse "dede" came from a distance. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the military camp, he quickly raised his hand and shouted: "Urgent military information! Urgent military information!"

The Sui army, who was about to block the road, made way out and let the cavalry rush into the military camp and rushed straight to the commander's tent. Only ten meters away from the tent were the two of them stretched out their spears in their hands and crossed the road, shouting: "The army camp is in the important place, people will dismount."

"Wow." The knight had to tie the reins and jump into the horse's back, still shouting: "Urgent military information! Urgent military information!"

The two searched the knight who was delivering the letter before allowing the sergeant to enter the tent. Everyone in the camp had already stopped discussing when they heard his shouts and stared at the tent.

Although it was winter, the soldier ran and sweated all over. He didn't care to wipe the sweat, and knelt down and held up a letter: "Report to the Crown Prince, King of Jin, all the magistrates, Lord He Ruo, the marching chief, has an emergency military report."

“Support it!”

"Yes!" A guard took the letter from the sergeant and checked the envelope first. Seeing the fire lacquer and the seal was intact, he nodded, tore open the envelope, shook it several times and saw that there was no problem before it was presented to Yang Yong. The reason why it was so troublesome was that Yang Yong made the rule after discovering that Yang Shuang was infected with the poison of the Gu. The poison of the Gu is hard to guard against. If someone pretends to send a letter and gets trapped with the Gu insect in the letter, it is easy to make the person who opens the letter be poisoned. Nowadays, it is more common in the south to raise Gu. Yang Yong does not want him to be bitten by a Gu.

Taking out the letter paper, Yang Yong quickly glanced a few times, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became louder and louder. After reading it all, he immediately laughed: "God helps me, Chen Jun will die on his own. Everyone, our army can enter Jiankang in less than ten days."

Everyone looked at Yang Yong with a gaze, eager to know the content of the letter, Yang Guang snatched the letter from Yang Yong: "Look at it!"

Only a few seconds later, Yang Guang also laughed: "That's great, great. 80,000 elite troops of Chen's army went out of the city to fight He Ruobi's army. General Manager He Ruo has already decided to wipe out 80,000 Chen's army. Once the 80,000 Chen's army is destroyed, Jiankang will not fight." After saying that, Yang Guang handed the letter to Gao Ying, and Gao Ying's beard raised up when he saw it, and after reading it, he handed it to Han Qinhu.

After turning the letters into Yang Yong's hands, the letter was back in Yang Yong's hands, and the tent was filled with joy. They were worried about how to lead Chen Jun to fight, but they didn't expect that before they came up with a solution, Chen Jun took the initiative to go out, and there was no cheaper than this.

"The last time I will ask to go out to fight and support the North Gate!"

"The last time I will ask to go out to fight and support the North Gate!"

"Brother, I also want to go to the north gate to take a look."

...

Du Yan, Xue Daoheng, Wang Shao and others all requested to fight, and even Yang Guang couldn't help but temptation. Only Han Qinhu was silent and moved. With He Ruobi at the North Gate, he didn't have to join in the fun.

"Okay, Du Yan, Xue Daoheng, Wang Shao obeyed the order!"

"The last one will be here!"

"The last one will be here!"

"The last one will be here!"

"You and the other three will lead 20,000 troops to the North Gate to assist in the war. You must annihilate all the Chen army that left the city. You must not let one soldier and one soldier escape into the city."

"Yes, I will obey the order!" The three of them clasped their fists at the same time, and their faces were filled with joy.

Yang Guang said anxiously: "Brother, what about me?"

Seeing Yang Guang anxious to make contributions, Yang Yongsi gave a moment. It was not a good thing to keep Yang Guang tied to him. Over time, Yang Guang would only feel resentful. He nodded: "Okay, you can also go to the north gate."

"Thank you, brother!" Yang Guang was overjoyed and said carefully: "I wonder if my brother will go?"

Yang Yong shook his head: "I won't go. Remember, General He Ruo is well versed in military tactics. Even if you are the King of Jin, you still have to obey General He Ruo's words and do not command randomly."
