Five hundred and eighty, good news
Wen Daoli did not stop at all. When he arrived at Kunning Palace all the way, the eunuch guarding the gate said that the emperor was not in the palace and went to the Imperial Garden.
He had no choice but to turn around again and go to another place.
When he arrived outside the Imperial Garden, he asked the eunuch to report and waited outside by himself.
After a while, the eunuch came out and said that the emperor asked him to go in.
Over the past few days, since the emperor recovered from illness last time, his health has been much worse than before, and his administration is worse than before. He often fails to court for several days and his health is much weaker.
When Wen Daoli went in, he found that the emperor was being supported by the queen and fed fish by the pond. The two looked intimate. He was a little confused and stunned for a moment.
At this slowness, I vaguely heard the emperor talking.
"I have been sleeping shorter and shorter recently. I woke up early in the morning before dawn. I had to wait for an hour or two before I saw the sun. I couldn't sleep anymore.
I also dreamed of Sin Chew and wanted to call him back to the north...
I didn't think well at the beginning, so I shouldn't have let him go north..."
"Your Majesty, don't think so much, your children and grandchildren will be blessed..."
Wen Daoli hesitated for a while, and the eunuch behind the emperor whispered in a wise manner. The emperor in the pavilion in the distance looked back at her, and waved his hand to let him go.
Wen Daoli hurried over. As soon as he walked into the pavilion, the emperor pointed at the large ink marks on his sleeve in confusion, frowned unhappily, "What's going on?"
Wen Daoli came back to his senses and quickly explained: "Oh, the emperor forgives the crime. I am really anxious to report the matter, so I neglected the saint to see Rong Yi for a moment."
"Major event?" The emperor glanced at him, and he quickly handed over the letter that the Privy Council had just received respectfully.
The emperor took it and looked slowly, but as soon as he saw it, the silence spread for a long time.
The emperor did not speak, and he did not dare to say it. Scholars talked about military affairs and advocated strange strategies, so many Confucian scholars in Jingguo advocated stories like Zhuge's novel strategies in books.
But the reality is that if you pass the Qigou Pass, the plain of Beijing, and the numerous Liao cavalry, it is a fantasy to say that the vast plain is full of sight. At first glance, you can see the Liao cavalry coming and going like the wind. What should you plan? At most, the temporary opportunity in front of the formation will compete with perseverance.
Therefore, Wen Daoli admired the courage of King Pingnan, but never thought that this battle would win.
Even if the emperor asked before, he knew that the emperor was concerned, he would only dare to say things like "maybe it" and "then you can win", and never dared to speak loudly to avoid making a real deal.
In his heart, he never felt that King Pingnan could win. If the Liao people killed Qigou Pass, entered the Taihang Mountains, and the river valleys and ridges were crisscrossing mountains and ridges, they had to walk the important road at the gate, then King Pingnan might have a slight chance of winning with his wisdom and tricks.
But on the plain outside Yanshan Prefecture, there is no other way to fight hard and fight head-on!
The new army with more than 10,000 people was completely hopeless against the elite Liao army that was defending 30,000 people, and Wuding River as the dangerous one.
So when the war report was sent to the Privy Council's desk, his knees became weak and he almost knelt down...
If the two messengers who sent the letter were not the old man from Guanbei, the Privy Council, who had known each other for many years in the north, maybe he would have suspected that this was fake news for a long time.
He was not surprised by the emperor's silence.
"This is true!" After a long time, the emperor spoke.
"It's true!" Wen Daoli was prepared for a long time. He asked the two messengers for a long time, just for this moment, that he had never missed his work.
"Did they say anything about the details?" the emperor asked hurriedly.
Wen Daoli quickly replied: "I asked some questions. The prince and his deputy general Di Zhi troops divided into two groups. The prince went west and broke through Weizhou all the way, and went straight to the city of Nanjing.
Di Zhizhe led his fleet across the Bohai Sea, defeated the Liao army ambushed by Yangcun and rushed to the city of Nanjing."
"What's behind?" The emperor looked unexplained, but his words were much faster. He could hear the excitement: "The battle report only wrote about beheadings of more than 10,000, capturing the royal family of the Liao Kingdom, and more than 4,000 Liao soldiers. Why is it written so hasty!"
"The emperor calms down. This is the first report from the Guanbeifang of the Privy Council, so it is brief. There must be a detailed report later. I believe you will be able to arrive later.
"You Privy Council, keep it well for me, and you must not slackew on for a moment. When there is news, I will repay me immediately!" The emperor said seriously, his voice very high.
The emperor had no expression, but Wen Daoli could hear clearly the excitement and happiness in his words. In front of the foreign ministers, the emperor never missed his voice.
After he left the Imperial Garden, he heard the emperor's continuous laughter and coughing from inside.
He did not dare to neglect this matter. After returning, he immediately asked all the officials of the Privy Council to cheer up and wait for the news. As he expected, in the afternoon, he sent a few more letters, but the content was the same as before.
Then, what he wanted was finally here, not letters, but two new army messengers heading south!
Wen Daoli was overjoyed and hurriedly took the two of them to meet the saint. The two of them were confused, excited and scared. Not everyone could see the emperor, and most people would never see him in their lifetime.
......
"The prince brought about two hundred people, crossed the river with wooden boards on the boat, and then went to the south of Nanjing City. After a long time, the ground was full of Liao soldiers and killed them. The Liao soldiers finally dispersed and did not dare to enter the city again. They ran westward..."
The two new army messengers have experienced those great wars. This is what Wen Daoli wants, not the stereotyped and dry text reports they brought.
At first, the two of them were very reserved and afraid when they saw the emperor and the queen in Kunning Palace, but slowly the emperor asked about those things. After they talked about it, they became more and more excited. Even the palace maid and eunuch next to them looked sideways and slowly leaned over.
The emperor and the queen were also fascinated by the hearing, but even to Wen Daoli, these things were as incredible as gods and ghosts. If the storyteller said it, he would think it was extremely exciting to hear the story. But these things happened, and the two little men dared not lie in front of the emperor.
It is precisely because of this that it sounds even more shocking, like a reality that they cannot understand...
"Where is Di Zhi?" the emperor asked suddenly.
"When we reached the city, General Di and the others were blocked in the doorway."
"How to block it?" Fu'an, the father-in-law next to him, interrupted.
"This..." the soldier raised his hand and raised it over his head and gestured, "It was probably such a high pile of corpses that blocked the Liao people. If they wanted to kill in, they had to crawl over and could not kill them for a while. However, there were only more than fifty brothers inside, each of them were injured. General Di was also seriously injured, but he still blocked the Liao people outside and no one was put in." He was very proud of this, but everyone was gasping for breath.
"Emperor, these are all pillars of the country." Fu'an interrupted, and the emperor nodded silently.
"What about the defeated army?"
"The prince had expected it long ago, so he asked General Wei to take the cavalry from the upstream shallows and blocked them all by the river. In addition, General Yan's gunboats on the river killed a large area. The rest were scared and all knelt down and surrendered." The soldier said with a look of flew.
"General Wei? Which general Wei..." Wen Daoli was confused. The more he heard the matter, the more he was amazed, and the more he heard the matter, the more he was dumbfounded.
"It is our new army's coach, the daughter of the governor of Guanbei, and a big shot."
Seeing him say this, everyone couldn't help laughing. He reacted and said embarrassedly: "Someone...someone is a stupid person. No matter how big the world is, no matter how big the person is, he is not as great as the emperor."
"It's okay, you continue to say, what's going on later."
The two were about to speak, but their stomachs started to scream. The atmosphere stagnated. Wen Daoli saw that they were both stupid and said quickly: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry for your crime. They are busy sending letters for a day, and they must have been hungry."
The emperor nodded with a blank expression, "Yes, you two are doing their duty. Fu'an, let the imperial kitchen prepare some food for them. You are waiting here, I have something to ask."
