royal palace.
Yangxin Hall, inside the palace.
Emperor Daojun was wearing casual clothes and sitting on the throne. A Taoist priest came in carrying a golden tray with a golden elixir the size of a dragon's eye placed on it.
When Emperor Daojun saw this golden elixir, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly pinched it and put it in his mouth. The eunuch immediately handed over a bowl of mountain spring water.
Emperor Daojun picked up the water bowl and drank the golden elixir with water.
After the golden elixir entered the stomach, it had immediate effects. Emperor Daojun's tired spirit was refreshed, his face glowed red, there seemed to be a fire burning in his lower abdomen, and his whole body felt hot.
He immediately walked to the dragon bed and pounced on the clean concubine on the bed.
After finishing the work, Emperor Daojun took a bath and changed clothes, sat on the throne, yawned, and got ready to sleep.
And the concubine has also been taken away. The eunuchs and maids took out new sheets and laid them on them.
"Your Majesty. General Xiong wants to see you." A eunuch broke in, bowed and saluted.
Emperor Daojun frowned slightly, showing impatience. During the day, my orders were clear. Xiong Wuwo, isn’t he here to remonstrate at night?
In the past, Emperor Daojun would have been too lazy to see Xiong Wuwo. But now the situation is forcing Wufu's status to be significantly improved, not to mention Xiong Wuwo, a general with 80,000 horse infantry.
"Please come in." Emperor Daojun exhaled and said with an approachable look.
"Yes." The eunuch bent down and responded, then turned around and went down.
After a long time, footsteps sounded outside the palace. A moment later, Xiong Wuwo, dressed in court uniform, entered the hall with his head held high. His knees went weak and he knelt on the ground, saying to Emperor Daojun: "Your Majesty."
"General Xiong is exempt from courtesy." Emperor Daojun was particularly kind. He first asked Xiong Wuwo to get up, and then asked gently: "General, you entered the palace late at night, but what's the secret?"
"Your Majesty is wise." Xiong Wuwo bowed and saluted. When he raised his head, he showed a solemn look and said, "Your Majesty. It's not that I don't want to move the capital. It's that I am deeply worried about your Majesty's safety."
After a pause, Xiong Wuwo showed a look of fear and said: "Your Majesty, the Han army is good at fighting. The Mongolian people are known as a fighting nation, and the Fusang people are pirates on the sea. But they were all easily wiped out by the Han army. Now the Slavs are still strong. But I thought that as long as Wu Nian was given time, it would not be difficult for him to defeat the Slavs and seize the Hetao area."
"Although my 80,000-horse infantry are elite troops, they are no match for the Han army."
"The reason why we can confront the Han army now is because of the Chu capital wall. There is also an abundance of military supplies in the city."
"Once I leave the capital of Chu, I am afraid that my troops will be defeated immediately by the Han army."
Xiong Wuwo's attitude is very sincere, he understands with reason and moves with emotion. But Emperor Daojun was not happy and said secretly: "After all, you still oppose me moving the capital."
Emperor Daojun was about to speak. Xiong Wuwo said: "Your Majesty, I have a plan that can help your Majesty turn the corner."
"Successfully crossed the Yellow River and reached the Central Plains."
Emperor Daojun was stunned when he heard this and became happy. It turns out that he is not here to give advice, but has good advice.
Although he has already made plans to move the capital. But the Han army's tigers and wolves are indeed terrifying.
If it's foolproof, that's good.
"General, tell me quickly." Emperor Daojun became more friendly and urged.
"Your Majesty, please step aside." Xiong Wuwo raised his head and looked at the eunuchs and Taoist priests on the left and right.
The Taoist Emperor waved his hand, and the eunuchs and Taoist priests bowed and bowed, then receded like the tide.
"Your Majesty, you can learn from Han Xin. He built a plank road openly and secretly visited Chencang. I led 80,000 horse infantry, raised the emperor's banner, led half of the palace maids and eunuchs, and marched southward."
"When the Han army hears the news, they will definitely pursue the minister first."
"Your Majesty can lead tens of thousands of people in the capital camp, as well as civil and military ministers, nobles, etc., to the west, passing through Shanxi, and south to cross the Yellow River."
"Shanxi has many mountains, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. Now the Han army only has one section of Yanmen Pass. Taiyuan and other important cities are in our hands. Your Majesty can sit back and relax when traveling to Shanxi."
Xiong Wuwo bent down, lowered his head, and sounded very confident.
Emperor Daojun's eyes lit up, showing excitement, then he clapped his thigh, stood up from the throne, put his hands behind his back, and started pacing back and forth.
Okay, what a man who builds a plank road openly and spends time in Chencang secretly.
Follow the plan and you can sit back and relax.
only.
Xiong Wuwo is a clear target, and I'm afraid he's going to be in a tough fight. Emperor Daojun's heart rarely softened. He looked at Xiong Wuwo with an unprecedented soft look in his eyes and sighed: "The general has a good plan. It's a pity that the general may be in danger."
"Your Majesty's words are serious. I will not hesitate to share your worries for you. As long as your Majesty can successfully cross the Yellow River and make Nanjing the capital, my life is worth dying in Hebei."
"What's more." Xiong Wuwo raised his head and said loudly: "Although I think I am no match for the Han army, as long as we deploy our troops properly, we still have a chance to cross the Yellow River and reach the Central Plains."
"General, you are such a loyal minister." Emperor Daojun was very moved and praised him repeatedly.
After the monarch and his ministers discussed it, Xiong Wuwo left the palace.
"What a good general." Emperor Daojun sat on the throne and sighed with emotion, hating that he had just met Xiong Wuwo today.
I wish I had known that Xiong Wu was so loyal to me.
He would not have resigned Xiong Wuwo from his official position last time and caused changes in Liaodong.
Why.
This night. Emperor Daojun slept particularly soundly amid emotion and regret.
Xiong Wuwo and the cabinet took three days to prepare and officially took action.
night.
There were only two stars hanging in the sky, and visibility was extremely poor. In the capital of Chu, ordinary people's doors were closed and they were still sleeping soundly.
To the west, the city gates are wide open.
Emperor Daojun led the imperial court, concubines, etc., and left first under the protection of tens of thousands of troops in the Beijing camp.
Emperor Daojun and Xiong Wuwo, the emperor and his ministers, said goodbye at the gate of the city.
"My dear, please arrive in the Central Plains safely and meet me." Emperor Daojun looked at Xiong Wuwo's face and shed tears.
Xiong Wuwo held his head high, clasped his fists and saluted: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will definitely return to the Central Plains with an infantry of 80,000 horses. Then I will defend the border for Your Majesty."
"Okay. Okay." Emperor Daojun shouted "ok" twice in succession, feeling even more emotional in his heart.
A true loyal minister.
What a loyal minister.
When I arrive in Nanjing safely, I must give Xiong Wuwo an official title and treat him favorably.
Shortly after. Emperor Daojun rode on the Luan Yu, and under the protection of tens of thousands of horses in the capital camp, he left Chudu and headed to the west.
After Xiong Wuwo bent down and said goodbye, he raised his head with a stern expression and shouted: "Let's go."
"Yes." The soldiers on the left and right responded, reining in their horses and going down to deliver the order.
Eighty thousand Shanhaiguan horse infantry.
Xiong Wuwo took them to Chudu. Now we set out again, with the goal of crossing the Yellow River and reaching the Central Plains.
Consolidate the defense line of the Yellow River and revive the Great Chu.
