"Holy Messenger, please follow me."
Jiang Ping led the secret guard commander straight to the central army.
Everyone was still very curious about the emperor's sudden edict.
"Please ask the Holy Envoy to wait outside the account. I will go in and report to the general." Jiang Ping said.
Then, go into the big tent.
"General, His Majesty's envoy has arrived and has received the imperial edict."
Jiang Pinghui reports.
Jiang Yin put down the military book in his hand and suddenly sat upright from the chair. His two little eyes kept spinning, as if he was guessing something?
"Invite the messenger in."
Jiang Yin got up from the chair and said quickly.
Then, walked to the center of the big tent.
"promise!"
Jiang Ping went out, invited the envoy in, and waited aside.
"General Jiangyin, His Majesty's decree has arrived."
The secret guard commander, holding the imperial edict in his hand, looked at Jiang Yin and said.
When Jiang Yin and Jiang Ping saw this, they immediately knelt down.
"It is destined to be carried by heaven, the emperor decreed."
"General Jiang Yin, the general who conquers the north, is stationed at the border of Yan State. He has not made any progress. I am very disappointed. I order Jiang Yin, the general who conquers the north, to lead his army to withdraw from the border and station in Youzhou. Within one month, he must come back to the capital to see me."
"Appreciate this!"
"General Jiangyin, hurry up and accept the order!"
The secret guard commander said calmly.
Jiang Yin's body trembled slightly, because from this imperial edict, he could clearly feel that Emperor Wu was a little angry.
Of course, this was the first time that the emperor had written an imperial edict in vernacular.
"I accept the order!" Jiangyin accepted the order.
Then stood up.
All the generals in the tent were confused.
What does Your Majesty mean by withdrawing the army to Youzhou and not launching a crusade against Yan?
"Holy Envoy, does your Majesty have anything else to say?"
Jiang Yin asked weakly.
"Oh~"
The secret guard leader reacted.
"Your Majesty also has a verbal message, I almost forgot it."
The people who had just stood up knelt down again.
"Your Majesty said this, my general who conquered the north, I gave you 400,000 troops to attack the Yan State. I didn't just let you wander around the border of the Yan State and fight a few battles to fool me. If you are serious If you can't beat Gongsun Miao and Gongsun Yan, then I can replace you."
"There are many generals in Da Qin who are better than you. If you can't do it, just say it. Don't hold on for the sake of face."
After the secret guard commander finished speaking, he coughed slightly.
"General Jiangyin, I'm done."
At this moment, Jiang Yin's little face turned red.
Even Jiang Ping was embarrassed.
Jiang Yin got up from the ground, extremely embarrassed.
Then, the secret guard commander gave Jiang Yin another letter.
"General Jiangyin, in more than two months, the first anniversary of the Qin Dynasty will be celebrated. Your Majesty has said that all nations will be invited to congratulate you. This letter is an invitation letter to the Emperor of Yan. General Jiangyin, please arrange an envoy! "
This this…
Jiang Yin was confused and took the letter.
If you want to prove your guilt and make meritorious service, it seems that you have to invite the envoys of Yan State to come to the court to see you.
"Please ask the Holy Envoy to go back and tell Your Majesty that your Majesty, Jiang Yin, will definitely invite the Yan State envoy to come to Hajj." Jiang Yin said.
"Thank you!" The secret guard commander clasped his fists and left.
The two people in the big tent breathed a sigh of relief.
"General, are you saying that Your Majesty is really angry?" Jiang Ping came over and asked doubtfully.
Jiang Yin frowned and shook his head, "Your Majesty's thoughts are always difficult to guess."
"However, Your Majesty asked us to withdraw our troops from Youzhou instead of returning to the court. It seems! Your Majesty does not really want to withdraw our troops."
"Why?" Jiang Ping asked.
"Think about it! Why retreat to Youzhou? It must be to rest and replenish supplies! We will attack the Yan Kingdom when the time comes."
"Your Majesty, it seems that he is going to fight in person." Jiang Yin guessed Dongfang Yu's thoughts with one word.
oh oh!
Jiang Ping seemed to understand.
"However, your Majesty is right. Our 400,000-strong army has been stationed at the border of the Yan Kingdom for more than a year and has only fought some small battles! Not only has it not made any progress, it has also consumed national power!"
"It's strange that your Majesty isn't angry. Just now, His Majesty's oral instructions really don't mean to remove you from your official position, general?" Jiang Ping asked.
well!
Jiang Yin let out a long sigh and looked up at the sky outside the tent, "No. In fact, Your Majesty knows that at the border of Yan State, no matter who comes, the result will be the same."
"You can only look for opportunities and don't underestimate the enemy and advance rashly. That Gongsun Yan is as good as a military advisor, and Gongsun Yan's ability to command troops is not inferior to mine. Once troops are used on a large scale, if you are not careful, you will lose everything." .”
In the past, domestic wars were fought in the west and the south, but the wars were not fought on the same level.
The powerful Liao Kingdom also led to a great defeat because they underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly.
As for the Yan State, 300,000 troops were stationed at the border. They only defended but did not attack. Not even a fly could fly in. How to fight?
"Jiang Ping, go call all the generals to take in the account."
"promise!"
Jiang Ping took the order.
After a while, Jiang Hao, Pei Yuanqing and other generals gathered in the Chinese army's tent.
"Meet the General!"
The generals bowed and clasped their fists.
"No gift!"
Jiang Yin said lightly.
"General, have you suddenly summoned everyone to come up with a strategy to defeat the enemy?" Jiang Hao asked.
Jiang Yin shook his head lightly, "Your Majesty just sent an imperial edict, asking me to conquer the Northern Army and withdraw into Youzhou. This war against the Yan Kingdom has come to an end for the time being!"
What?
All the generals were shocked!
"Why did you retreat? Did your Majesty make a mistake?" Jiang Hao couldn't believe it.
"Okay, everyone, don't make any guesses. This time we return to Youzhou to rest and resupply. It's not an option for us to stay at the border all the time. Maybe! After we withdraw, we will have a breakthrough against the Yan Kingdom! "Jiangyin said.
"I'll take the order!" The generals clasped their fists.
There is no way, His Majesty has sent an imperial edict, they have to retreat!
However, this is really embarrassing. I have never felt so aggrieved during the Six Nations.
"One more thing!"
"In two months' time, His Majesty will be in the capital, inviting all nations to congratulate him!"
"The weather in July is just right. It's much more comfortable than March. However! Your Majesty wants to invite an envoy from the State of Yan to go to the capital. This task has been left to us. The general is very eloquent and is willing to do it. Be a lobbyist!"
To be honest, isn't the emperor making things difficult for them? In the military camp, there are a lot of big and strong men who can fight well. If you ask them to become foreign ministers, isn't that forcing them to die?
"General, let's go!" Jiang Hao volunteered.
In this military camp, he seems to be the most suitable person.
"That's right, you read a lot and are eloquent, so just go for it!"
"Go this time, but remember, although Your Majesty said that you are invited, you have to show the deterrent power of our Great Qin."
Do you dare not to go? I will scare you to death!
"Don't worry, general!" Jiang Hao assured, patting his chest.
Then Jiang Yin gave the invitation letter and the letter to Jiang Hao.
After the meeting, the three armies prepared to break camp.
Retreat to Youzhou.
The Qin army was busy up and down, but the spies of the Yan army could see clearly with a monocular telescope.
