Chapter 1008: The Fake Play of the Enemy Attack
On the strange mountains and rivers, the drills of warships continue.
After leaving the barracks, lunch could only be solved on the warships. In order to make the soldiers get used to having a quick meal when the war is in a hurry, the platoon leader on each warship carried out Fang Wei's orders very well.
The soldiers who drove the ship pedaled hard while eating rice rolled with slices of meat and vegetables. On the deck, the soldiers were holding their waists and pretending to avoid enemy arrows, carrying things, and then took turns to rest, eating the rice in their arms in bites.
The soldiers' training has been much harder because of the countless audiences around them.
The city walls of the capital were busy, and the panic at first became a little more stable.
If the city gate is closed, many people will be restless if it is normal, but today, I don’t know what’s wrong. Many people have not started to make a fuss because of the city gate.
Outside the city gate, most of the people who had not entered the capital were waiting quietly, only the people from the east side of the city seemed to have discovered something interesting, and batches of people ran towards the south of Qishan River.
Gradually, the two sides of the Qishan River and the slightly higher terrain were crowded with people.
At first, some people were a little nervous, not knowing if it was the enemy ship of the Nanshui Kingdom in the south, but some people knew about the Zhihe Barracks, and some even more, because their sons were in the Zhihe Barracks and the people who moved to the Zhihe Barracks gave a very clear explanation.
"My baby is in the Zhihe Barracks! A few times ago, the barracks gave us land and houses and asked our families to help take care of them. Those boats should be controlled by my baby and his robes!"
An old man with great face explained that everyone around him slowly approached, and regardless of the old man's clothes, they all asked questions.
There were many questions and many aspects involved, but the old man didn't know anything. After a few words, the person who brought them left, he said that he had to notify many people.
So the old man could only pretend to be mysterious and could not speak easily, and did not answer other people's words. After a long time, the old man could not resist it, so he had to walk south and avoid the enthusiastic inquiries from the people around him.
As the old man walked, more people gathered by the river and looked towards the south.
On the walls of the capital, soldiers entered the orthodox process of facing the enemy. There were no large number of soldiers running around, only generals with bitter faces, looking at the city wall, standing in line, shaking the soldiers who were about to fall.
No matter what ship is outside the city, once the city wall defenders enter the combat readiness posture, they cannot relax before receiving the above instructions.
In the barracks, the soldiers who had not practiced for a long time, wearing armor and standing for most of the day, were exhausted and exhausted. Some people even stood on spears and were dozing off under the scorching sun.
The general camp in the city commands the guards of the twelve gates of the capital of Qiyueguo. At the same time, it is also the headquarters of millions of defenders in four directions, southeast, west and northeast of the capital.
Any orders from the Ministry of War will be issued to the general camp first and then appoint generals before the army's actions will be arranged.
Now, half a day has passed, and there is no sound in the court. Even the soldiers who have reported urgently have not returned. In the general camp, a hundred generals gathered in a tent. No one said anything, but only showed their heroic and eager fighting spirit.
As long as the general camp receives any information from dispatch, then a hundred generals will use their own way to request the opportunity to lead the troops.
Every general is a military general. If you want to show that you are the most suitable general to lead the army. If you want to deform among a hundred people, you always have to have a shocking speech, and these shocking words must be organized first.
So, military generals who have always been unspeakable gathered in the camp, and each seemed to be bombarded by the college entrance examination one after another. The awkward words were repeated in their hearts, changing, changing their words, and slowly organizing their words. They did not repeat them over and over again until they felt powerless to change, for fear that they would forget them.
However, some people have organized their words, but they have no chance to express themselves. There is no news in the tent, so they can only wait.
While waiting, we have to repeat the words we have finally prepared, so at first glance, the mouths of hundreds of military generals are twitching.
If all the generals in the tent have their heads shaved and then sent a wooden fish, these generals can instantly become competent monks.
In the court, all ministers who heard the wind were dressed neatly, took small steps, and appeared in the court in the most anxious posture.
Some court officials planned to kneel down to the emperor, and then talk about their own fabricated lies to attract the emperor's attention. By the way, they exaggerate the enemy's attack, so that some officials with good and good fortune would get more money and then divide them into some.
But, the court hall was silent!
No matter what courtiers come in, the quiet atmosphere makes them dare not even let go of a fart!
The silence of death should not have occurred during the sudden attack of the enemy. Logically speaking, the court should be in chaos, and the emperor should also pace back and forth in front of the dragon throne, or even throw something to vent his boredom.
But now, the emperor on the dragon throne seemed to be asleep, his eyes closed, and he was half lying down in a leisurely manner.
After all the officials who came to the court came in, several eunuchs scolded their commotion with their eyes of vicious poison.
On the side of the court, the side door that should not have been opened is always open today. From time to time, a soldier-like person will run in and out.
The soldier ran into the court and headed straight to the left of the dragon position. He said something in a very small voice in the ear of a little eunuch who was responsible for writing, and then ran out quickly.
This situation continued until evening, when the red light of the setting sun spread across the walls on the east side of the court, the emperor sat up and reached out to ask the eunuch beside him what he wanted.
Under the Dragon Territory, a small eunuch who was specifically responsible for recording the emperor summed up the reports of many secret guards and presented them to the emperor.
Smart people will watch for a while, but even if they are unwilling, they will take some small actions. Therefore, in the report of the Secret Guard, there are five princes and two princesses, and there are obvious abnormal movements in the mansion.
In addition, in the palace, three princesses who were not married were also full of turmoil. One thought that the country was about to perish, so he commanded the maids to clean up the fine and plan to run away. The other two were secretly arranged people, colluding with outside the palace, and arranging things for some officials or generals who surrendered.
The five princes outside the palace had a huge fortune. The vault that had not been opened for many years was also opened, and boxes of silver were sent out by carriages.
Who are those silvers for? No need to guess, the emperor can't get a penny, and no one will give him money.
The emperor was very unhappy. Looking at the secret guard's report, the five princes' money was almost dispersed to every official in the court!
In this way, is it a temporary bribery of people's hearts?
In the court, the light gradually dimmed, and the eunuch ran in and lit the lights in the huge political hall.
Under the illumination of the oil lamp, the emperor looked at the court officials, thinking that they had collected the silver from the five princes and learned that the enemy attack outside the capital was attacked. In his heart, he was not only sad, but also a kind of child of his own. After eating other people's lollipops, he then disgusted himself as a father. He had no lollipops and didn't know the smell of lollipops.
The emperor's face changed slightly, and the courtiers in the lower head had already stood sore legs and feet. However, the emperor did not say anything, and the eunuchs on the side were still scanning them with fierce eyes, making them afraid to speak, let alone leave.
Time passed little by little, and in the southeast of the city wall, the enemy was initially discovered. Looking at the two hundred warships, playing on Qishan River for a day, then retreated south.
So he quickly ordered people to report to the general camp, and the report's words changed the enemy's attack, saying that a group of ships of unknown origin had retreated and the war in the capital was all lifted.
There is no curfew in the capital at night. Only the center of the capital and various markets will have curfew management. However, tonight, the suburbs were also under military control by soldiers guarding the city's barracks. Before the sun set, they were driven home. On the streets, there was no idler except the soldiers.
In such a street, the speed of horse racing to the general camp reported was a little faster.
Then, in the general's camp, there were a hundred generals who muttered shocking words for a day and were swallowed back by himself.
The soldiers who came to report, said a sentence to the generals of the barracks collectively deflated.
However, there were also generals with a straight temper, and they were unhappy and immediately cursed, "Which bastard said that the war was completely lifted?! Where did those ships come from and where they went, don't you need to check? We are only in the capital, are there only places like the capital?! Do other places do not need protection?!"
This sentence ignited all the ambitions of leading soldiers to fight. They just vented their momentum and burned again in an instant.
The other generals agreed, "Yes, yes! We want to get all those..."
The general who said this had the biggest voice. When he yelled, everyone else was quiet, but he did not finish his words.
The reason is nothing special. The generals of the general camp and the soldiers of the harmonious country are all land soldiers and ships on the river. How can they fight?
The tent was quiet. An older veteran was sitting in the middle. Looking at the quiet big tent, he said nothing, waved his hand and let the other generals disperse.
After many generals were taken away, the veteran slowly got up, rubbed his sore legs, looked to the south, muttering in his mouth, "Zhihe Barracks, haha, is this here to show off?"
I still have this smart brain power to be able to sit in the general's camp.
The palace gates have not been closed for the first time in the evening for thousands of years.
In the court, the swaying oil lamps were emitting a slight light. The emperor was also a human being. After lying in the court for a day, he was hungry.
"Everyone, tell me, what do you plan to do?" After receiving the report from the General Camp, the emperor only said this for half a day.
The boats that governed the river walked around the city walls of the capital, and Fang Wei reported it to him, but the emperor wanted to fish.
And this time, the emperor was also prepared for fishing. Even if there was no harvest, it didn't matter. He just wanted to know whether there were fish in the water in front of him, or how many big fish, small fish and mixed fish were there.
Today's fake drama of the enemy attack really gave the emperor a lot of knowledge and allowed the emperor to see the other side of the royal family and court officials.
As the emperor, he knew very well that officials would be greedy, but this greed must be limited. If the salary is really not enough and there is a little subsidy, the emperor can turn a blind eye. As long as it does not have a profound impact, he can indulge it. But if he is planning to be greedy for major issues, it is crossing the line.
