Chapter 549: The Capital! The Emperor's Heart Is Unpredictable!

Chapter 549

"Let's go!"

Wang Chong stood beside the two big trees and waved his hand. Crashing, a stone stirred up thousands of layers, originally only Wang Chong, Xu Anchun, and Xu Shiping three people in the open space, from near to far, front and back, densely packed, as vast as the sea, countless figures stood up from the ground. In just a moment, thousands of figures stood up from the ground one after another, either holding weapons, or shaking off the camouflaged mud.

And farther away, in the densely packed and dotted hilly area, more Annan Protectorate Army stood up from the ground.

Huoshu Guizang's judgment was not wrong. Wang Chong had indeed prepared a big trap for him to fall into, and it was a big trap consisting of 40,000 to 50,000 people, plus other devious cavalry and the rear of the distant formation. The equipment and bait were indeed enough for Huoshu Guizang to drink a big pot.

But now, all of this is obviously useless.

"Pass my order, don't worry about the Usi Tibetans behind, everyone marches at full speed. We only have one day. After today, Huoshu Guizang and Mengshezhao people will join forces, and the two sides will definitely chase us at full speed. This period of time is our only chance. It doesn't matter if we have to get to that place before then."

"If it can't be achieved, all of us will die. That is our only chance of survival!"

Wang Chong looked at the generals who were gradually gathering around him, and said in a solemn voice.

The short chase with Huoshu Guizang and the Uzang army had come to an end for the time being, but for Wang Chong, this war was far from over. It's just that this time the opponent is no longer the Uzang Cavalry led by Huoshu Guizang, but the Annan Protectorate himself.

Escaping from the Lion City and successfully breaking out of the siege just means that they have gained an extra chance to survive. Behind the brilliance of the merger of the two Annan military forces, there are too many crises hidden. Without the cover of the Lion City, without the cover of the night, and without the rainstorm that has been rare for more than ten years, in the plains, there is no natural danger to defend, and the brigade simply cannot face such a Mongolian-Ukrainian coalition army.

More importantly, there is no food in the southwest!

"Xi Yuyu!"

The horse neighed, and a group of people braved the torrential rain and headed for the northeast at the fastest speed...

Since the war in the Southwest, it has finally ushered in a peaceful night, and it is also the last peaceful night!

...

"Boom!"

A blinding thunder winds like a snake,

Skimming through the dark clouds over the capital. However, unlike the torrential rain in the southwest, there is only thunder but no rain in the capital. Such thunder is called empty thunder in folklore.

And weather like this has lasted for several days in the capital.

The southwest is endangered, the front line is about to fall, and in all directions, battles in Longxi, Anbei, Anxi, and Andong are also fierce and the atmosphere is tense. Such a situation has never happened since the founding of the dynasty.

"Gao Gonggong, please be accommodating and tell Your Majesty. Just say that I have something to see!"

In the inner garden of the imperial palace, in a taboo place, a fat eunuch with a square head and big ears, with a round neck and a friendly face, stood in front of the jade steps, kneeling on the floor in front of him, just like Maitreya's descendant The minister of civil and military affairs, and the leader of the forbidden army.

"Gao Gonggong, I would like to trouble you to understand the Holy Emperor, the southwest is in danger, and our 200,000 imperial troops are willing to gallop to the southwest!

"Now the Quartet is in a hurry, and there is no army available in a short time. Calling the forbidden army is the best way. Father-in-law, everything should be done!"

In front of the steps, a figure knelt on the ground and kowtowed fiercely, but it was Zhao Fengchen, the commander of the imperial army.

The war in the southwest has been going on for a long time. Thousands of aristocratic masters and hired warriors led by Wang Chong disappeared in the south like a bubble, without the slightest ripple. In the eyes of many people, his ending is already self-evident. Thousands of people are simply a drop in the bucket for the situation in the Southwest.

Without a huge army, if you want to fight against the Mongolian-Ukrainian coalition forces of more than 500,000, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with a pebble. Therefore, the ending of Wang Chong and others can actually be known from the very beginning. Although admire his courage, this is not a wise move. In the end, we still have to rely on the army of the imperial court.

"Hehehe, Commander Zhao, don't say such stupid words anymore. Who will guard the capital when the 200,000 forbidden troops go south? Once the foreign cavalry raids, are you going to put the holy emperor under the iron hooves of the foreign race? Although the holy emperor's wrist Tong Tian, ​​don't worry about this, but we courtiers, do we still have the face to live in this world?"

The round-necked eunuch in Jinyi smiled slightly.

In the inner garden of the imperial palace, the only ones whose surname is Gao and who can be respected by the ministers of civil and military affairs and the commander of the imperial army are only Gao Lishi, the chief supervisor of the inner prison who is closest to the Holy Emperor, and Eunuch Gao. In the inner court, no matter how old or young, eunuchs and maids, anyone with the surname Gao will change their surname.

Therefore, in the inner garden of the imperial palace, there is only one person whose surname is Gao and who is honored as "Eunuch Gao".

Gao's surname is of the same line, serving three generations of emperors, and has always been known as "loyal official". The position in the Tang Dynasty and the palace is far from being comparable to ordinary ministers.

"Eunuch Gao is right, we are confused. But Eunuch, time waits for no one! If the entire army of the Annan Guards is wiped out, nearly a million people in the southwest will suffer, and the Mongolian-Ukrainian coalition forces will go north, and they will eventually approach the capital. Ah! We, as ministers, will naturally keep the enemy out of the country. If we let foreign armies come to our ministers, what kind of face will a minister have to survive in the world! This time, the two royal families of Uzbekistan and Tibetans are fully mobilized! "

Beside Zhao Fengchen, the gray-haired old censor Duan Cao sighed.

[Welcome to follow my WeChat official account and Weibo, just search Huangfuqi, there are many contents that are not in the novel]

The Tang Dynasty was besieged on all sides, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Households were all mobilized, trying every means to recruit the army, but this was all time-consuming and labor-intensive. If you want to fight against the 500,000 Mongolian-Ukrainian coalition forces, whether it is food, weapons, or War horses are not a small number, and these cannot be completed in a short time.

War has always been a system, not just a matter of simply mobilizing troops.

Only now, time waits for no one. Every day brings bad news from the south. And the situation in the empire also made the capital's ministers and common people panic. The current Datang is experiencing turmoil it has never experienced before. As long as you are a Tang person, as long as you have a patriotic heart, there is no one who does not worry about it.

Now in the court, countermeasures are being discussed every day, and the debate continues every moment. There was an endless stream of ministers who wanted to enter the deep palace and meet the Holy Emperor. But everyone was blocked.

In this crisis that affects the entire Great Tang, as the most supreme existence of the Great Tang, the Holy Emperor's attitude has been kept secret until now. No one knows what the Holy Emperor thinks. The Holy Emperor has not expressed his attitude until now, let alone made any decisions.

"Duan Yushi!"

Hearing what the old censor said, Eunuch Gao couldn't help heaving a long sigh:

"You know that there is a lot of hard work, but His Majesty is resting, and he has already ordered that no one should be disturbed, and there is nothing I can do about it."

A group of people immediately looked at each other in blank dismay. This rhetoric has already used soldiers to prevaricate many people.

"Gao Gonggong, what is His Majesty's attitude? What is going on? Your Majesty has never been like this before!"

The old censor suddenly raised his head and said, his eyes were burning like the edge of a knife.

Today's Holy Emperor is hailed as the most enterprising and ambitious emperor in the history of Middle Earth and Shenzhou. His great talent and general strategy, decisiveness in killing and attacking, arbitrariness in cadres, and insightful vision made Datang sweep away the barbarians in his generation, and reached an unprecedented prosperity.

The former Sage Emperor had great talents and general plans, no matter what he did, he had a well-thought-out plan, and he already knew how to do it without the court's discussion. All resolutions can convince everyone. But now, the Southwest is already raging with war, the Annan Protectorate Army was defeated, Li Zhengji was ambushed, defeated and died, all the Protectorate Mansions were attacked in the southeast and northwest, but there was no movement from the Holy Emperor. This situation has never been seen before. happened before!

As an old censor who served two generations of kings, Duan Cao really didn't want to see this kind of thing happen.

"Hey, old censor, don't you already know about that?"

"ah!"

Hearing this sentence, the old censor trembled all over, as if he remembered something. His lips parted, just about to say something, but Eunuch Gao raised his hand and suppressed it.

"Let him pass the past. You know what I know about this matter, so that's fine. As for Southwest..., you don't have to worry, His Majesty has his own opinion. If you don't express your attitude, it doesn't mean that His Majesty doesn't pay attention to Southwest's affairs. Situation. Old Yushi, you have served His Majesty for so many years, you don’t understand this, do you?”

Duan Cao trembled all over, but he let out a long sigh of relief. No matter what, as long as His Majesty has made an agreement, it will be the best result. This is also the biggest gain of this trip.

"I see, thank you, father-in-law! General Zhao, let's go!"

Duan Cao pulled Zhao Fengchen who was still confused, and quickly left the palace.

The breeze blew across the corridor, shaking the bells one by one.

Eunuch Gao folded his hands in his sleeves, and with a smile on his lips, he watched Duan Cao and the others disappear into the distance. After a while, when the group of people disappeared, the smile on the corner of Eunuch Gao's mouth slowly faded, alas, he let out a long sigh in his heart, worries crept up his brows like dark clouds, and Eunuch Gao quickly entered the temple.

There are layers of golden curtains, and the golden dragon on it is lifelike, as if it wants to shake the curtain and come out.

And in the depths of the curtain, the most noble figure in the world stood there. Although he didn't do anything, he just sat on the curtain, but he had an aura that towered over everything in the world, like a statue that commanded all Like gods that people fear.

It's just that for some reason, the huge aura that surpassed all the strong men in this world fell into Eunuch Gao's eyes, but he felt a faint sense of weakness. But soon, Eunuch Gao put this thought out of his mind. Regardless of whether His Majesty is the aloof Holy Emperor, or the prince from back then, in his heart, he will always be the most respected, admired, and beloved existence in this world.

"Your Majesty, do we really do nothing about the Southwest?"

There was no one around, and Eunuch Gao suddenly bowed and knelt down respectfully. The sound of knees colliding with the ground echoed throughout the hall, and it was extremely silent.
