In this world, everyone is carrying heavy loads against the wind and moving forward arduously.
Wang Biaozhi and Huan Wen came from the eight old aristocratic families in Quzhou. The eight aristocratic families were defeated by Jiang Feng more than ten years ago. The emperor took the opportunity to uproot the connections of the eight aristocratic families in the two capitals. From then on, they lost their place of establishment. In order to rejuvenate the family and persuade the emperor to march eastward, people used all the connections they could use and speculated on all their thoughts. If their eastward expedition failed this time, then there would be no hope for the Wang family and the Huan family to revive within a short period of time;
Li Changhong and Chen Buye came from humble backgrounds, with no background and no strong support. They all relied on the emperor's favor to gain a foothold in the turbulent imperial court. For them, being loyal to the emperor and serving the country was the greatest pressure. During the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, the emperor gave Li and Chen the responsibility of guarding Liu Huai. This iron rice bowl prince did not have any confidence in his work. Under such a situation, the two of them felt a mountain of pressure;
Mo Jingchun and Sun Yun were at that time, and this Eastern Expedition was a good opportunity to make achievements. However, Liu Huai's command was inappropriate and he did not listen to advice, which made them worried;
Mou Yu was old-fashioned and spoke less and less along the way, but his worries became more and more serious...
Everyone surrounding Liu Huai, including all the soldiers marching with Liu Huai at this moment, were all moving forward with heavy loads.
Life is like a journey against the odds, and I am also a traveler!
...
Liu Huai himself said a bold statement to denounce Fang Qiu, hoping to get everyone's applause.
Who knew that the venue would be eerily quiet.
This made Liu Huai very unhappy, and he lowered his head and became silent.
Huan Wen glanced at Liu Huai, who was silent, and then at Wang Biaozhi, who was bowing his head and said nothing. A bad premonition came to his heart. It was an instinct after reading poetry and books, and it was also a kind of experience accumulated over time. perception.
Huan Wen had a premonition: If he did not retreat immediately, the 150,000-strong army would be buried in front of him!
However, their student, their coach, Liu Huai, refused to retreat, which put Huan Wen in a dilemma.
After thinking about it, Huan Wen walked up to Liu Huai and lowered his eyebrows, "Your Highness, do you feel tired after marching for days?"
All the generals surrounding Liu Huai unanimously cast surprised and disdainful glances at Huan Wen.
This is marching and fighting, how can we not be tired? Do you think you are playing house in your yard?
Liu Huai was a little confused when he asked this question. He didn't know what kind of medicine Huan Wen sold in the gourd, so he could only say what he thought, "I feel a little sleepy!"
When Huan Wen received Liu Huai's reply, he immediately smiled and said, "Since we are sleepy, how about we go back to Chisong County to rest for a few months, and then recharge our batteries before sending our troops east?"
While the generals were in a state of confusion, Sun Yun was the first to hear the overtones of Huan Wen's words.
He was using a soft trick to get Liu Huai to return his troops!
Therefore, Sun Yun also echoed, "The Commander-in-Chief, the last general who has just led an army feels unwell, and many of his soldiers also have cold symptoms. If not, we will return to the army first and prepare enough clothes before going out for the expedition. With the reputation of the great governor, we will attack everything!"
Sun Yun's compliment made Liu Huai very proud. Just as he was about to agree, his habit of not trusting people happened again!
Liu Huai said loudly, "Since we are soldiers, is this suffering unbearable?"
Since it was useless to talk more, Huan Wen suddenly changed his face, waved his riding crop, pointed it at Li Changhong, and cursed fiercely, "Li Changhong, you, Changshui Guard Chief, collected intelligence for this group. Now the intelligence has been delayed, putting our army in danger." You are incompetent, you are guilty, and you deserve death! If this battle fails, you, Li Changhong, will be the culprit!"
Li Changhong was stunned and wanted to refute, but he had nothing to say in front of the facts and stood there staring at Huan Wen.
Shen Qiong, the owner of the Wencheng Pavilion of Zongzheng Mansion, Liu Yan’s second master, once gave a motto to the emperor Liu Yan: Thirty years later, look to Xie An for conspiracy, Huan Wen for conspiracy, Lu Ling for power, and Ran for conspiracy. Min.
Now when I look at it, Huan Wen is not only negative, but also has the word "loss" in the negative. Seeing that Liu Huai is unwilling to retreat, Huan Wen directly puts all the responsibility for possible future defeat on Li Changhong and him. Changshuiwei.
Its intentions cannot be described as non-toxic!
Liu Huai was not as profound as Huan Wen thought. He only felt that Huan Wen's words were reasonable, so he shouted angrily to Li Changhong, "Captain Huan is right! Li Changhong, if we fail to win this battle, I will kill you to calm the morale of the army. This is If you win the battle, I will write a letter to impeach you, punish you for your crimes, and kill your clan."
That's it, no matter whether he can win this battle or not, Li Changhong is dead here with Liu Huai.
Chen Buye, who was slightly behind the others on horseback, was used to being upright. After hearing these words, he finally couldn't hold back his anger. He turned over and dismounted from his horse and said, "Grand Commander, in all military operations, planning is the first priority. The calculations have been reviewed. Then send out troops, and you will be victorious. Before sending troops, General Mou proposed the strategy of "advance in six directions and ambush from ten sides". The four generals Mo, Sun, Liu, and Li and the last generals all seconded the plan, but the governor did not allow it and insisted on hoarding troops for danger. Dao made a desperate move. Moreover, the governor did not give the generals a division of labor before the war. As a result, the soldiers did not know the soldiers, the generals did not know the generals, and the formations were inconsistent. The 150,000 troops were in a mess, crowded like a flock of sheep. Now that the governor is questioning the crime, the last general Dare I ask, whose crime do you want to ask? Whose head do you want to behead?"
These words are reasonable and reasonable. If Liu Yan listens to them, he will definitely feel that they are reasonable. But what Chen Buye didn't expect was that Liu Huai was not Liu Yan, and this was not the city of Chang'an where the emperor was.
After Liu Huai heard this, he was furious and shouted sternly, "Chen Buye, how dare you speak to the prince of a country in this tone? Are you tired of living?"
If the 150,000-strong army was in danger, Huan Wen and Wang Biaozhi were also involved. Without their connivance, the army would not be in the mess it is now.
Therefore, Huan Wen wanted to let Liu Huai's "fire" burn even more intensely, and shift all the blame to others so that he could protect himself wisely. So, Huan Wen waved his riding crop and shouted at Chen Buye, "Chen Buye, you are bold! Don't you? Do you know that the person standing in front of you is the emperor of the future empire? Humph, when the emperor was the current prince, you dared to speak so arrogantly, and he transformed into a dragon towards His Highness, do you want to go to heaven? "
Murder and heart-wrenching! Kill people and kill your heart!
Chen Buye was passionate and heroic, not afraid at all, but still sincerely admonished, "Captain, Prime Minister Zhuge once said: If you are close to virtuous ministers, stay away from villains, this is why the great Han Dynasty prospered; if you are close to villains, stay away from virtuous ministers, this is why Huan Ling will decline. The Three Kingdoms were reunified. After two emperors, Xiaoren and Shenwu, and finally Your Majesty, our Han Dynasty has been prosperous and prosperous for more than a hundred years. It is all thanks to the monarch who knows people and makes good use of them, and it is all thanks to the loyal ministers who speak out and dare to give advice. Governor, you need to know that the country of the Han Dynasty is It belongs to a big man, not to someone else!”
Before Liu Huai could speak, Huan Wen asked sharply, "Chen Buye, who do you think is a villain? Do you dare to say it again?"
Chen Buye glared at Huan Wen angrily, as cold as ice, "Anyone who allows the governor to do whatever he wants is a villain; anyone who condones the governor's rebellion is a villain; anyone who tolerates the governor's laziness is a villain. You Huan Wen, and those two losers Liu Qin and Liu Han , after this battle, it is time to punish the three clans with the punishment of splitting the chariot."
"Ha! Chen Buye, let me ask you, if the information had been received earlier, would you have strongly advised the Governor to adopt General Mou's strategy?" Huan Wen asked solemnly.
Chen Buye snorted coldly, "Now that the matter has come to this, why are we still talking about this?"
Huan Wen followed closely, "You only need to answer yes or no!"
Chen Buye gritted his teeth and replied, "Yes!"
Huan Wen snorted coldly and asked again, "Chen Buye, let me ask you again, if the information had not arrived, would you have strongly advised the Governor to adopt General Mou's strategy?"
Chen Buye is a real person, he shook his head and said, "No!"
"Hmph! So, doesn't the root of this problem still lie in intelligence? Could it be that the captain was wrong when he said 'this is a loss of intelligence' just now?"
Huan Wen sneered and said loudly, "But you, Chen Buye, made something out of nothing. Our army has not lost a single soldier since the expedition, but you, Chen Buye, accused the governor of improper use of troops for no reason. Isn't this nonsense? What is this? The governor is governed by His Majesty's edict. The five armies are revolting, but you question the governor's wrong decision-making, what else is this but contempt for the emperor's authority?"
Chen Buye was speechless. He did not expect that his heartfelt and honest words would turn out to be unscrupulous slander. this! this! This is really sad and angry!
"Chen Buye, Li Changhong, this Commander-in-Chief has always been proud to work with the 'Double Swords of the Empire'. Looking at it today, I feel very ashamed. The 'Double Swords of the Empire' is probably a bitch, right?"
After Liu Huai ridiculed Chen and Li, he straightened his back, showed a majestic look on his face, and ordered, "Come here, remove Chen Buye and Li Changhong from their posts and keep them under good supervision until our Han army invades Goguryeo. This governor wants to kill these two people and go on stage to worship the flag!"
Liu Huai, who had been pampered and well-dressed since he was a child, had become accustomed to bossing around. Even though the five imperial talents Xie An, Lu Ling, Ran Min, Huan Wen, and Xun Ruoteng taught and taught him, his true nature was still hard to change. Once he left Chang'an City, his true colors were revealed. .
The soldiers around looked at each other in confusion. They always felt that what Huan Wen said was wrong, but they couldn't tell what was wrong. They could only stand alone, saying nothing and not moving.
This performance of the soldiers made Liu Huai feel angry: Okay! OK! You Chen Buye, you Li Changhong, you are so majestic! The soldiers actually obeyed your orders but not mine. Are you the Grand Governor, or am I the Grand Governor? I wanted you to die later, but now I have changed my mind. You both have to die now!
In a rage, Liu Huai wanted to draw his sword and kill the two men. When his hand reached his waist, he realized that he had even forgotten to bring his sword since he went on the expedition.
In an instant, an unknown fire ignited in Liu Huai's heart.
Liu Huaizheng wanted to take Huan Wen's sword to kill Chen and Li.
Suddenly, on the snow-capped mountains on both sides of the deep ravine, there was a loud noise of soldiers' armor. Liu Huai, who had lost his mind, asked angrily, "Whose general dared to disobey the order of the governor general and go up to the mountain to camp privately!"
Chen Buye and Li Changhong looked at each other and smiled sadly when they heard the drum trumpets that were different from those of the Han army.
It’s over!
It seems that the day for us to die for our country has arrived!
