Episode 10 Chapter 437
Chapter 437
"..." The eloquent boss lady was also speechless by Tang Yin. &&
General Wang's mysterious disappearance did not cause any trouble, and no one in the currently chaotic Bufeng City paid attention to why a low-level general disappeared.
At noon that day, the Bufeng garrison headed by Ma Qian hung a white flag at the top of the city, opened the city gate, sent people to Fengying to surrender, handed over the obedience form, and surrendered the city. With the surrender of the remaining Mozambican troops, the Battle of Bufeng also came to an end.
Xu Lengzhi, who had great ambitions to flex his muscles in Haowan County and fight the Feng Army to the death, was still unable to resist the Feng Army's move south. More than 600,000 Mo State Central Army troops were completely wiped out in the battle of Bufeng. More importantly, Mo Guo also lost Xu Lengzhi and Xiang Wen, both civil and military generals.
It can be said that the battle of Bufeng was the key point in the battle of Fengmo. After this battle, the strength of the Mo country was severely damaged, while the morale of the Feng army doubled. Even the Yu army, who was not good at fighting, felt that Victory is not far away from me.
The more critical point is that this battle made the two countries An and Huan, who originally had a wait-and-see attitude, completely determined to stand on the side of the Feng Kingdom. The chain reaction triggered by this was the conflict between the armies of An and Huan. Total invasion.
On the pretext of obeying the emperor's orders, the An and Huan armies advanced into Mo from the south and southwest of Mo and launched a fierce attack on the southern towns of Mo.
The two countries' participation in the war is undoubtedly a fatal blow to the Mo country, which is currently in danger.
Originally, even if the Mo army could not stop the Feng army from moving south, they could still choose to move the capital south and retreat to the south. However, the An and Huan armies cut off the Mo country's only retreat, causing the Mo country court to become a turtle in the urn. There is a strong enemy.
The situation of the war is becoming more and more unfavorable to Mo State, and the room for maneuver of Mo State is getting smaller and smaller. The Fengyu coalition forces that captured Haowan County may directly attack Modu Zhenjiang at any time, and the An Army and Huan Army take advantage of the opportunity. The army may arrive at the city at any time. Rumors are already spreading among the government and the public in Mo State, and panic is spreading rapidly.
Many officials in the Mo Kingdom's court have begun to prepare for their retreat. Some plan to escape, while others plan to seek refuge with the Feng Kingdom. This is especially true for officials like Taifu Zhang Rong who have had an affair with the Feng Kingdom before. More frequently, and repeatedly expressed in his letters that he was willing to submit to Feng State, and that he was also willing to be Feng State's internal support and help Feng's army capture Zhenjiang.
Similarly, reports and memorials against those officials who had illicitly engaged in Tsinghua came to King Mo Shaofang like snowflakes, but Shao Fang had not read most of the reports.
Now Shao Fang has become more and more ignorant of government affairs and spends all his time in the harem having fun. Rather than saying that he is ignorant, it is better to say that he is deliberately evading. Even if he now sits in the court twelve hours a day, it will not help the entire war situation.
When the strength of the enemy and ourselves is similar, an excellent monarch can definitely play a vital role, but now the disparity in strength between the two sides has become irreparable. Even if the gods come to the world, they cannot solve the problem of Mo Guo. Danger.
Unable to bear the current pressure of internal and external troubles, Shao Fang chose to ignore it and indulged in drinking and sex all day long. If the monarch is like this, it can be imagined that the ministers below are all planning their future.
Now, on the contrary, people like Zuo Xiang Guo Hui and General Li Jin, who are usually good at flattery, are becoming anxious. As long as Shao Fang is here and Mo country survives, they can continue to enjoy their glory and wealth, and once Shao Fang was deposed, Mo State was destroyed, and their good days came to an end.
For this reason, ministers such as Guo Hui and Li Jin went to see Shao Fang more than once, asking him to sit in the court, handle the government affairs, and save the country of Mo from disaster. But Shao Fang couldn't listen at all. Before they could say a word, Shao Fang became impatient and asked the guards below to expel them all.
In the end, Guo Hui, Li Jin and others had no choice but to think of another person, the former right minister Dong Sheng. Due to factional disputes, Guo Hui, Li Jin, Zhang Rong and others teamed up to kick Dong Sheng out of the Mo court. Although their ideas were inconsistent, Guo Hui and Li Jin understood that Dong Sheng was actually very capable. Now The government affairs are piling up like a mountain, and the king ignores the government affairs. If no one comes to take charge of the overall situation, the country of Mo will really be doomed.
These treacherous officials who persecuted Dong Sheng at the beginning now shamelessly invited Dong Sheng to come out and preside over the government, and persuaded the king to cheer up.
Dong Sheng had long been disillusioned with Shao Fang, but when the country's survival was at stake, he put aside his personal grudges, accepted the invitations from ministers such as Guo Hui and Li Jin, and immediately went to the palace to meet Shao Fang.
When Shao Fang, who was still having fun in the harem and drunk, saw Dong Sheng, he almost doubted whether he had seen it wrong. He shook his head, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and confirmed that the person standing in front of him was Dong Sheng. Sheng, Fang asked in confusion: "Dong Sheng? Why are you... here? I didn't summon you to the palace!"
Dong Sheng's official position and title have been wiped out by Shao Fang. Now he is just an ordinary citizen. Without ministers such as Guo Hui and Li Jin accompanying him, he would not be able to enter the palace.
Before Dong Sheng could speak, Guo and Li hurried forward and explained to Shao Fang what was going on.
When they finished speaking, Shao Fang shook his head like a rattle. Without looking at Dong Sheng, he waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Get out, get out, get out! Since I dismissed his official position in the first place, I will never resume it again." Enable."
"Does your Majesty want to be the king of the subjugation of the country?" Dong Sheng, who had never spoken, was full of gunpowder when he spoke.
Since the outspoken and loyal ministers in the court were killed and exiled, Shao Fang had not heard such "evil words" for a long time. He looked at Dong Sheng blankly and forgot to get angry for a while.
Dong Sheng didn't care what he was thinking, and continued: "The king has to do three things now. First, burn all the reports and memorials immediately to court and in front of all the civil and military officials, so as to stabilize people's hearts. Second, immediately mobilize the Huben Army to command Nanyan, and let General Nanyan lead the Huben Army south to attack the An Army and Huan Army. Third, immediately recruit the deputy commander of the Donghai Navy, Gao Hang, to return to the capital and let him lead the navy to guard Zhenjiang. Block Fengyu's two armies from crossing the river."
Shao Fang was stunned for a while, then Fang blinked, sneered, and asked: "Why should I listen to your nonsense?"
Dong Sheng said with a gloomy face: "If you listen to what I say, the king can still be regarded as a hard-headed and foolish king, but if you don't listen to me, the king will be a completely confused and foolish king."
"Bold!" Shao Fang was furious when he heard this. He pointed at Dong Sheng's nose and said: "I did not kill you at the beginning, which was a great kindness to you, but you have no repentance and still dare to speak rudely in front of me. …”
Before he could finish speaking, Dong Sheng shook his head repeatedly and turned a blind eye to Shao Fang's anger. He was silent for a moment, looked up to the sky and sighed, and said: "That's all I have to say. With my talent, I can only think of so much. As for Whether the king will listen or not is beyond my control." At this point, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed forward, and suddenly changed his words: "I want to say goodbye to the king today."
Although Shao Fang doesn't like Dong Sheng, after all, Dong Sheng helped him get his throne. From the heart, he still has a special feeling for Dong Sheng. Because of this, no matter how angry Dong Sheng is, He, he never killed Dong Sheng.
Now suddenly hearing that Dong Sheng said goodbye to him, Shao Fang was shocked. He leaned forward subconsciously, pretending to be indifferent and asked: "What? Are you even running away? Are you trying to avoid it?" Feng Thief, flee the capital and seek refuge?”
Dong Sheng didn't seem to hear his sarcasm and said seriously: "Because the strength is inferior to others, it is not terrible and shameful to subdue the country. What is terrible and shameful is to sit back and wait for death without shame. As a king, the king has nothing to do with it." Don't make it difficult for me to raise my head forever!" As he spoke, the old man suddenly stood up. At the same time, he turned around and pulled out Li Jin's sword from under his ribs.
His sudden move shocked everyone present. Li Jin turned pale with fright and screamed: "Dong Sheng, what are you going to do?" As he spoke, he shouted again: " Guard! Protect the king, someone come and protect the king..."
Without him shouting, the surrounding palace guards were immediately on Shao Fang's side, and a large number of guards surrounded Dong Sheng.
Shao Fang was not afraid. Instead, he frowned, with a worried look on his face, and shouted in a low voice: "Dong Sheng, do you know what you are doing! This is going to kill your head!"
Dong Sheng laughed loudly, looked at the sword in his hand, and without any warning, he raised the sword and put it on his neck. The old man looked around at the people around him, and finally his eyes fell on Shao Fang's face, and he said with a faint smile: " If the blood of a loyal minister must be used to awaken the faint king, then I am willing to donate it!" As he spoke, he wiped the sword with all his strength.
flutter!
Dong Sheng was always known for being ruthless in his work, and he was also ruthless to himself. His sword almost cut off half of his neck. Scarlet blood spurted out and splashed far away, also splashing on the face and body of Shao Fang opposite him.
"No..." When Shao Fang saw that Dong Sheng was about to kill himself, it was already too late to stop him.
Bang! The sword fell to the ground, and Dong Sheng's body fell straight down. For a moment, Shao Fang was dumbfounded. The ministers present were dumbfounded, and the surrounding guards and maids were also dumbfounded.
I don't know how long it took before Shao Fang came back to his senses from the shock. He looked straight at the body that fell to the ground, stood up with a dull expression, and slowly walked around the table. He hadn't spoken yet, and his tears were already broken. Threads flow down like pearls.
"Your Majesty—" Li Jin stepped forward and tried to hold Shao Fang back, but Shao Fang suddenly swung his arm and pushed Li Jin away. He slowly walked up to Dong Sheng, knelt down next to the body with a plop, and then, unable to control himself anymore, he lay on the body and cried loudly.
