In order to recognize Xu Huaiqin's contribution, Emperor Shaolong specially sent Zhou He, the Prime Minister, and Jin Zhuangchen, the Minister of Rites, to go to the Niushou Mountain camp to work for the army, and conferred Xu Huai as the Duke of Anding.
Anding County is the name of Jingzhou County, Xu Huai's ancestral home is Jingzhou. Emperor Shaolong conferred Xu Huai as the Duke of Anding County, and also took some meticulous care to comfort him.
Zhuangchen of Jin saw that Xu Huai and the generals in the tent were chatting and laughing after hearing the reward. He thought it was time to discuss the topic of slaying the enemy camp. He glanced at Zhou He with his eyes and nose, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He seemed to be old.
It's a bit older, and it's easy to get dizzy when sitting. He cleared his throat and said:
"Xu Hou was so brave and good at fighting that the thieves were frightened. This was the great fortune of Vietnam. At this time, although nearly half of the soldiers crossing the river had retreated, there were still about ten thousand cavalry entrenched in the camps at the mouth of the Qinhuai River, making the soldiers and civilians in the capital sit and stand.
It's difficult to be safe, why doesn't Marquis Xu work hard to break it..."
"What kind of bullshit is this? We should work hard and die, and the Imperial Guards are doing nothing in the city?"
Just after the reward, Jinzhuang Yang's words meant that he couldn't wait to drive the rebels directly without waiting for the main force of the Beijing and Xiang reinforcements to arrive.
When he went to storm the camp of the captive soldiers at the mouth of the Qinhuai River, Xu Zang also suddenly changed his expression and started to curse.
Wu Chihai, Jiang Ang and other generals all looked ugly, but they didn't show off their anger like Xu Zan did.
Niu Er did not understand the meaning of Zhou He and Jin Zhuangchen's words. He stretched out his hand to pull Jiang Ang's robe. He wanted to ask what was going on that made Xu Tan lose his temper, but he felt that he really needed to open his mouth.
I felt stupid if I went to ask, so I immediately patted the long case and yelled:
"This is too much!"
He had long heard that Jin Zhuang Cheng was from Tongbai Mountain, but he resented Jing Xiang the most. He also turned to Jin Zhuang Cheng angrily, pointed at his nose and cursed,
"Are you making trouble behind my back? I'll pass you on to my grandma!"
Niu Er was born with supernatural powers. He slapped the two-inch-thick cypress long table in half. The tea cup and fruit plate placed on the long table flew up. Looking at his ferocious look, he was about to pounce on him. Jin Zhuangchen was frightened.
Subconsciously, he leaned back and tilted the long case toward him. He poured the bowl of hot tea that had just been brought to him and poured it on his face.
"Don't be so presumptuous as to make random noises in the big tent. What kind of decency is that?" Xu Huai patted the long case and shouted at Xu Dan, Niu Er.
Jin Zhuangchen sat up in embarrassment. When he saw Niu Er, Xu An was silent after being scolded by Xu Huai, but stared at him murderously. He was afraid of angering this idiot again, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart and remain silent.
Zhou He looked at the devouring expressions of the generals in the tent, secretly worried, and said: "The Minister of Jin was thinking that the soldiers crossing the river would be greatly moved by Xu Hou's personal arrival. It was Xu Hou who took advantage of the victory to pursue and establish a more powerful force.
It’s a good opportunity to achieve great feats, so I mentioned this..."
Xu Huai stared at Zhou He's seemingly untroubled face with a cold face, cupped his hands and said: "Regardless of whether it was the impromptu initiative of the Minister of Jin, but there are so many wars in the world, there is no reason to ask the Jingxiang family to fight! This meritorious service is still called
Let's go and fight with others. Well, the soldiers who crossed the river have not left yet, and the journey back to the capital will not be peaceful. Prime Minister Zhou and the Minister of Jin should not delay here, and they should return to the capital as soon as possible...
"
Xu Huai didn't want to deal with Zhou He, Jin Zhuangchen and others, so he directly issued an eviction order. "..." Before the matter could be discussed, he was driven back to the capital. Zhou He was also afraid that it would be difficult to explain himself in front of Emperor Shaolong.
When he wanted to say a few more words of relief, Xu Tan stood up like an iron pillar and walked towards the outside of the tent, saying: "Please go slowly, Prime Minister Zhou and Minister of Jin, and find someone else who is interested in making meritorious deeds. We cannot earn this kind of meritorious deeds."
On..."
Xu Huai sat behind the case and stopped talking, with a serious look on his face. Zhou He was worried that if he stayed around any longer, the generals in the tent would drag them out unreasonably, so he had no choice but to stand up and leave.
Xu Huai had no intention of getting up to see him off.
Watching Zhou He, Jin and Zhuangchen walk out of the tent, Niu Er asked Jiang Ang in a low voice: "Why did Xu Tang, the bastard, lose his temper just now?"
Jiang Ang, Wu Chihai and other generals all stared at Niu Er in surprise.
"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Niu Er asked in surprise.
Jiang Ang said helplessly: "Zhou He and Jin Zhuangchen sang in harmony and couldn't wait for the main force of the Jingxiang reinforcements to arrive. Now they want us to rush to the mouth of the Qinhuai River to die! Of course, there is no problem in asking us to attack the enemy camp at the mouth of the Qinhuai River, but?
???????????????The Suwei Forbidden Army can't always stay in Jianye City and not show up, right? Even if they agree to send out troops together to attack the enemy camp at the mouth of the Qinhuai River from the left and right, we can just hold our noses and admit it
I admit it, but what Zhou He and Jin Zhuangchen meant behind the scenes is that the Suwei imperial army is still not dispatched at all! This is simply because they don’t treat us as human beings!"
"These two idiots were scolded lightly just now!" Niu Er suddenly realized and said with some regret.
Han Gui, who was sitting next to him, smiled at Xu Huai and said, "I didn't expect them to have the nerve to talk like this!"
After the soldiers crossing the river gave up their blockade on the outskirts of Jianye City, the communication between Niushoushan and the capital became smoother, and they had already learned the specific content of the palace discussion from Wang Fan; Han Gui's original suggestion should not be that Xu Huaique
I don't want to be completely temperless.
Only then did they arrange for Xu Tan to step forward. If he saw something wrong, he would directly interrupt Zhou He and Jin Zhuangchen. He did not even want them to say that this was what Emperor Shao Long meant.
Xu Huai turned his head and looked at the rewards placed on the incense table, including the official robes and ribbons he was given as the Duke of Anding. There were also some gems, jade and pearls. After pondering for a while, he said to Han Gui: "What are you doing for me?"
I drew up a memorial saying that I did not deserve the reward for my merits, and in the afternoon someone sent all these rewards back to the capital!"
"Is it too tough?" Han Gyu asked in surprise.
He originally intended to delay for a while, but now he just refused to send troops and forced the court to make greater concessions. Unexpectedly, Xu Huai wanted to return the reward directly to the capital.
After Han Gui arrived at Tongguan Mountain with his vanguard troops, he did not leave Tongling County, but rushed directly to Niushou Mountain to meet Xu Huai. Although he failed to see Liu Shiwang when he arrived at Tongguan Mountain, it was obvious that delaying for a while would not be good for him.
They are on their side and don't feel the need to be too tough now.
Xu Huai stared at the blue sky outside the big tent and signaled Han Gui to do as he was told...
…………
…………
Zhou He and Jin Zhuangchen returned to the capital without success. Many people were not surprised, but they all thought that Xu Huai would use an excuse to delay. However, they never expected that Xu Huai would return all the rewards as an expression of gratitude.
Beijing was forced to be dissatisfied with sending troops to the enemy camp at the mouth of the Qinhuai River, and it could even be said to be indignant.
The ministers in the court who had just breathed a sigh of relief because of the large-scale reduction of the Japanese troops to blockade Jianye could not help but feel inexplicably worried at this moment.
Wang Boqian and Yang Maoyan also rushed to the palace as soon as they heard the news. They walked to the Chuigong Hall and saw many palace attendants standing in front of the corridor as if they were walking on thin ice. They knew that Emperor Shaolong must have lost his temper.
"What does this Zhuzi mean? Do you really want to be Cao Cao? Do you really think that I am the weak and bullied Emperor Xian of Han?" Seeing Wang Boqian and Yang Maoyan walking into the palace, Emperor Shaolong asked angrily, "
Or maybe the Suwei Imperial Army is really that unbearable and wants me to be bullied by that Shuzi?"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. You must not lose control at this time," Yang Maoyan knelt down and admonished His Majesty. "The first thing Zhu Hang did when he returned to the capital was to urge Your Majesty to send the Imperial Guards to fight, and Xu Huai was so rampant.
Arrogant, the two of them are plotting inside and outside. They are just trying to provoke His Majesty to send the Imperial Guards out of the city to fight. If the Imperial Guards go out to fight and make a slight mistake, what else will Your Majesty have to rely on? In the future, everything will be affected by Xu Huai.
At the mercy of others? Your Majesty must not be too impatient to mess up your big plans!"
"Be patient, if you have some potential, why should I be bullied by this guy like this?" Emperor Shaolong said angrily, "If I had known this, I should have left Gu Fan to assist the government in the capital!"
"It is the minister who is incompetent. It is the minister who is incompetent. Please punish me!" Wang Boqian also knelt down before His Highness in panic to apologize.
After a while, Emperor Shaolong suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a lowered voice: "You all should lie down, kneeling down can't solve the problem. Please tell me what to do about this matter first!"
"I just went to see Zhou He. I heard that Zhuangchen Jin was angrily scolded by the generals under Xu Huai's tent as soon as he started talking after arriving at Niushou Mountain. We just had a good time without leaving. Jin Zhuangchen didn't mention that this was His Majesty's.
"What do you mean," Yang Maoyan asked uncertainly, "Your Majesty, maybe you can temporarily aggrieve Minister Jin Zhuang and issue an edict to reprimand him?"
Han Shiliang and Ge Yu were besieged in Shouchun, and Ge Boyi had no troops to mobilize in Jingnan. Xu Huai now summoned the rebel army to station on the side of the capital, and the main force of the Beijing-Xiang reinforcements would gather step by step towards Jianye. They really didn't have anything in their hands.
With so many chips, we can only persuade Emperor Shaolong not to intensify the conflict, lest the situation get out of hand.
The issue of sending troops to attack the enemy camp at the mouth of the Qinhuai River is currently only mentioned tentatively by Zhuangchen of Jin. They feel that Emperor Shaolong issued an order at this time to blame everything on Zhuangchen of Jin's unauthorized actions, which may stabilize the situation and deceive the Jingxiang Emperor.
Let’s talk about other things after resolving the siege of Shouchun.
Seeing that Yang Maoyan had come up with such a bad idea and actually asked him to swallow his anger and take the initiative to step down the stairs from Jingxiang to Jingxiang, Emperor Shaolong felt like there was a ball of fire in his chest, but he couldn't spit it out.
After a long time, Emperor Shaolong waved his hand helplessly and signaled Wei Chujun who was standing aside to prepare an edict to reprimand Jin Zhuangcheng for disturbing the ministers by making arrogant comments about the country.
Although Emperor Shaolong issued an edict to rebuke Jin Zhuangcheng, the Minister of Rites, in an effort to cover up the discord between the emperor and his ministers, the officials in the capital, especially those who had participated in the previous palace discussions, knew what was going on.
This news soon passed through the inside line and was secretly transmitted to the camp of the Chihu people at the mouth of the Qinhuai River...
