Chapter 877 The Queen's Advice
Chapter 877 The Queen's Advice
Cold night, the waning moon shines brightly.
Ten Rivers City.
The remnants of the great merchants fled there in embarrassment. After traveling for several days, they finally joined Donglin Wang.
Of the less than [-] Qingyu Army remaining, almost everyone was wounded, and the remnants were defeated, and they no longer had the vigor of the past.
In the battle of Baidi City, Da Shang was hurt. Da Shang, who had always been proud, had completely lost his proud capital.
"Your Highness."
When the remnant army entered the city, King Donglin looked at the embarrassed eldest prince in front of the team, and asked with concern, "Are you all right?"
"fine."
Mu Yuan shook his head wearily, and said, "I'm sorry, I failed to keep my promise and keep Baidi City well."
"The matter is a foregone conclusion, and His Highness does not need to blame himself too much."
Donglin Wang Yingdao, "The most important thing now is to find a way to prevent the Mobei cavalry from continuing to go south, and prevent them from threatening the capital of my great merchant."
"Everything is under the arrangement of King Donglin."
Mu Yuan knows that he is now a person who has committed crimes and meritorious deeds, so his attitude is much humbled, and he is able to speak.
"We'll discuss this matter tomorrow. Your Highness is tired after traveling for many days. My king will ask someone to arrange a resting place for His Highness."
King Donglin said something, looked at the guards behind him, and motioned to take the eldest prince and his party to rest.
The two personal guards took the order and left with the eldest prince and others.
Outside Shijiang City, behind the Qingyu Army.
Five thousand Raksha cavalry followed at the end of the team, and also entered the city one after another.
On the horses, the officers and soldiers of the Rakshasa Army also looked exhausted. They rushed to rescue the First Prince after a long distance, and protected him all the way. Both men and horses were exhausted.
"I've seen the King of East Lin."
In front of the five thousand Raksha cavalry, Li Ziye dismounted and saluted politely.
"Thanks for your hard work."
The king of Donglin looked at the person in front of him, his expression became much more friendly, and he said, "This time, thanks to Bu Yihou, otherwise, the [-] Qingyu army might not be able to come back."
Although this commoner's way of being an official has some problems, his talent is beyond doubt.
Big businessmen need such talented people.
"The King of the East is too famous."
Li Ziye sighed softly, and said, "It's still a step too late, and it failed to stop the Mobei army from breaking through the city."
"It's not Bu Yihou's fault."
King Donglin said with a complicated expression, "You only have five thousand cavalry, even if you arrive at Baidi City in time, nothing will change."
Even he didn't expect that the [-] Qingyu Army would not be able to defend Baidi City for a day.
Even if he was caught off guard by the army of Mobei, with the fortifications of Baidi City, it shouldn't be broken in a day.
Undoubtedly, the First Prince made a serious mistake in his decision-making.
"It's the first time I lead troops, and His Majesty can give five thousand cavalry, which is already a mighty grace of the emperor." Li Ziye looked at the Luocha cavalry who entered the city one after another, and said unintentionally.
King Donglin was stunned for a moment, then quickly recovered and realized something.
Big merchants are not without generals who lead troops.
Rather, no right.
This Bu Yihou is a capable person, which has been proven in the Western Territory and Baidi City.
"Bu Yihou."
The King of Donglin stared at the person in front of him, and asked seriously, "If you are the general, you can afford it."
Now is a special period, and we can no longer stick to the original set!
Must change!
"Working for the big business, this Marquis, it is my duty!" Li Ziye answered without politeness.
"Okay! This king will fight for you!" Donglin Wang said in a deep voice.
"Thank you, King Donglin."
Li Ziye cupped his hands and bowed again.
Waiting is today!
It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and how to fight without soldiers.
"Bu Yihou has been tired for several days, let's go to rest first." Donglin Wang said.
"Retire."
Li Ziye didn't stay any longer and walked away.
King Donglin looked at the former's back, his expression condensed.
The Mobei iron cavalry will continue to go south soon. At that time, he can no longer cooperate with such incompetent people as the First Prince.
Handing over the back to the eldest prince, neither he nor the soldiers can rest assured.
The Great Merchant still has soldiers, but the person in charge of the soldiers can no longer be the First Prince.
Buyihou ran across thousands of miles to rescue the eldest prince, which is considered a great achievement, and the imperial court must have noticed it.
Royal Palace.
Shou'an Palace.
Candles were brightly lit.
Shang Huang looked at the memorials suggesting peace talks on the table, his face was livid.
These trash!
On weekdays, they show off their might, but when it comes to critical moments, they are all as timid as a mouse.
Peace talks, Dashang has never done such a shameful thing since the founding of the dynasty.
There are still a lot of soldiers around the capital, although they are all local defenders, but when assembled, there are tens of thousands of them.
In addition, there is no fighting in the southwestern border and the southern border for the time being, and some troops can be transferred back.
It is the Buddha Kingdom and the Southern Border Wu Clan, who must find a way to stabilize, otherwise, if they make trouble again, they will be in trouble.
"Your Majesty, the empress is here."
At this time, a servant came quickly and said respectfully.
Upon hearing the words, Emperor Shang came back to his senses, nodded and said, "Let the queen come in."
"Yes!"
The servant took the order, turned and left.
Soon.
Inside the hall, Empress Changsun walked over, saluted gracefully, and said, "I have seen Your Majesty."
"No need to be polite, sit down." Emperor Shang raised his head and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Empress Changsun stepped forward and sat down, looked at the table full of memorials, and asked, "Your Majesty is still worrying about the matter of Baidi City?"
"A bunch of trash, all asking for peace."
Emperor Shang said coldly, "I am very pleased with the performance of the fourth child in the court this time. The prince of the Great Shang should have this pride."
Empress Changsun was silent, unwilling to talk about political affairs.
"Queen, I want to recall the Southwest King or the Guanshan King, who do you think is more appropriate to call back?" Shang Huang thought for a while and asked.
"My concubine doesn't know."
Empress Changsun shook her head and responded.
"You don't have to worry about the queen, just tell me your opinion."
Emperor Shang said seriously, "Even if I say something wrong, I won't blame it."
Empress Changsun hesitated for a moment, and said, "The two kings of Wu are battle-tested generals, and calling anyone back can alleviate the current predicament, but there are hidden dangers in both the southern border and the southwest border. Recall, the Southern Xinjiang Witch Clan or the Buddhist Congress will take advantage of the vacancy."
"I have this concern too."
Emperor Shang nodded and said, "Last year when the eight tribes of Mobei raised their troops, they took the opportunity to express their sorrow, but now that the army of Mobei is unstoppable, one of them must be summoned back. "
"To summon the two Martial Kings back, we must stabilize the Wu Clan or the Buddha Kingdom."
Empress Changsun said softly, "The concubine has a suggestion for His Majesty, and His Majesty can listen to it at his discretion."
"Queen please speak." Emperor Shang replied.
"Your Majesty, do you still remember that when Li Jiaoxi went south to Nanling, he passed by the Wu clan, and there was a lot of trouble at that time, and Li Jiaoxi was captured by the witch queen of the Wu clan. However, not long after, Li Jiaoxi They left the Holy Land of the Wu Clan safe and sound, presumably some agreement was reached."
Empress Changsun reminded, "I feel that since Li Jiaoxi can talk to the witch queen of the Wu tribe, I might as well go to the Wu tribe in southern Xinjiang to express my goodwill to the Wu tribe on behalf of the imperial court. , King Guanshan will be able to bring his troops back as soon as possible without any worries."
After hearing the reminder from the queen in front of him, Emperor Shang's expression froze.
He had forgotten about it.
