Chapter 1035 Ordered to be the General Soldier of Hangu Pass
Bigan hurriedly returned to the palace, met with the ministers, and then went to the harem to report to King Zhou.
King Zhou was very drunk with the immortals on the Lutai last night, and he had not woken up when Bigan arrived.
Being forcibly woken up by Bigan, King Zhou did not like it and complained, saying: "For some trivial matters, the emperor can just make up his mind, why bother disturbing my dream?"
When I heard it, I just felt top-heavy.
The seventy-two princes in Beihai rebelled. What a big deal it was. The grand master heard that Zhong Zhong was about to quell the war and was about to return. The whole world was celebrating. How could it be such a small matter when it came to the mouth of the king?
"Uncle Emperor, if you have nothing else to do, go and discuss with the ministers. I have to sleep for a while and have a banquet with the immortals in the evening."
King Zhou beat Haqie and ignored Bigan who was standing aside. He covered himself with a quilt and went to sleep.
Fei Zhong, who was in charge of standing guard, looked at it and quickly pulled Bigan out. As he walked, he whispered: "Ya Xiang should go back. The king didn't sleep last night. He worked hard for a long time under the influence of wine in the morning. It's better to let the king sleep more."
.”
"well!"
Looking at King Zhou lying on the dragon bed, even if Bigan had thousands of words, they could only be turned into sighs at this time.
How could it be like this? King Zhou, Emperor Xin, but where is the gentle, courageous and strategic king that he watched grow up?
Bigan couldn't figure it out. After returning to the political hall to discuss with the ministers, he quickly wrote a letter to Wen Zhong who was far away in Beihai, urging Grand Master Wen Zhong to return as soon as possible.
"I heard from Grand Master Zhong that Bi Gan has failed to live up to the expectations of the public. Now the king, a villain and a wise minister from far away, builds a deer platform, sets up cannons, and lingers in the harem all day long without caring about the autumn harvest. This is a real crime of death."
Beihai, Chinese military camp.
"Right now, on the day of the death of Prime Minister Shang Rong, Dongbohou Jiang Hengchu was quartered by five horses. Nanbohou E Chongyu was easily beheaded for the same crime because he collected Dongbohou's body. Xibohou's son Boyikao was chopped into pieces on suspicion of assassinating the king.
Meat Sauce, Ji Chang fled back to Xiqi overnight. There were internal and external troubles, and the building was about to collapse."
In the camp, the weathered Grand Master Wen Zhong looked at the letter worriedly.
"Report!"
An orderly soldier ran out of the account, knelt on the ground and said: "Grand Master, King Ping Ling is gathering Yuan Futong's defeated army and taking over the cities of the rebel princes. His intention is unknown."
"King Ping Ling?"
Wen Zhong put away the letter and frowned into the Chinese character "Chuan".
The seventy-two princes in Beihai rebelled, and if Yuan Futong was the culprit, then King Ping Ling was the biggest winner.
King Ping Ling was not among the seventy-two rebel princes, but his fiefdom was too close to Beihai, and his previous strength was second only to Yuan Futong.
After Yuan Futong failed and died, once he was allowed to consolidate the territory of the 72 princes in Beihai, his strength would probably be even greater than that of Yuan Futong.
To be fair, if he had not received Bigan's letter and heard such news, Wen Zhong would definitely have led his troops to King Pingling's base to give the prince a good beating.
However, the situation in the court made Wen Zhong uninterested in caring about anything else. Once he was delayed in Beihai for a long time and the situation in the court worsened, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"We can only retreat."
Wen Zhong held the sword at his waist and sighed: "I hope King Ping Ling just wants to expand his base and will not cause trouble again."
That was true, but for some reason, Wen Zhong still had a haze in his heart that never receded.
night, chaoge
King Zhou slept until the sun set. Then he reluctantly got up and got dressed under the service of his palace maids.
"Fei Zhong, I heard that Grand Master is coming back?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"oh"
After asking and answering questions, King Zhou didn't say anything, dressed neatly and walked out.
Fei Zhong followed him obediently and whispered: "Your Majesty, where are you going?"
"Set up the deer platform, and I will have a banquet with all the immortals."
King Zhou didn't care about Wen Zhong. He vaguely didn't even want to hear that Master Wen Zhong had returned victorious.
Although it may be a bit chilling to say this, if possible, King Zhou really wanted Wen Zhong to die in Beihai instead of returning with his army.
King Zhou had complicated feelings towards Wen Zhong.
The four ministers who cared about life left by the late emperor, Shang Rong, Bigan, Huang Feihu, and King Zhou didn't care at all.
Only the grand master Wen Zhong was different. Wen Zhong was the crown prince and grand master back then. Xin Neng, the king of Shang Zhou, ascended the throne as the second son of the late emperor, all thanks to Wen Zhong's support all the way.
King Zhou respected and feared Wen Zhong. After knowing that the grand master had returned, he thought that it would be impossible to be so carefree.
"Your Majesty, why are you looking so sad today? What's on your mind?"
When they arrived at Lutai, King Zhou and the three demons sat down, and Daji asked with concern on her face.
King Zhou sighed and said: "The chaos in Beihai has subsided. I heard that Taishi Zhong will return to the court soon, and hard times are coming."
Daji forced a smile and said: "What did the king say? The old master is a minister, and the king is the king. There is a difference between king and minister. You can't even interfere in the king's household affairs, right?"
"You do not understand"
King Zhou sighed, waved his hand and said: "Don't mention these boring things, my beloved concubine should quickly light up the sacrificial inscriptions and invite all the immortals to come down to the next world for a banquet."
Daji didn't ask any more questions, burned a memorial inscription to invite immortals, and summoned a group of little demons who transformed into immortals.
As soon as the little demons arrived, they had fun with King Zhou, drinking wine and eating meat to live happily.
After all, these little monsters were not real immortals. Three or five little monsters turned into palace ladies and danced, quickly making King Zhou forget his troubles in the mortal world.
"General, Prime Minister Bigan is here."
As soon as the banquet started, soldiers came from outside to report that it was Yabi Gan who came with Manchu civil and military personnel.
Wang Xu nodded slightly, naturally he didn't know why Bigan came, and said: "You go and report to the king, I will guard you here."
"Yes, General."
The soldiers left quickly, and within a short time, Bigan arrived with dozens of civil and military ministers.
Bigan walked in front of the crowd and saw Wang Xu guarding under the deer platform. He said, "General Yang, the ministers have something important to report. I would like to ask the general to get out of the way."
"Prime Minister, please don't embarrass the young general. Your Majesty has an order. After the immortal banquet begins, no one is allowed to take a step closer to Lutai. If you have anything to do, Prime Minister, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Wang Xu held on to the three-pointed, two-edged sword and had no intention of letting it go.
Bigan didn't care when he saw it. He turned slightly towards the ministers and whispered: "Let's rush in and see who dares to stop him."
Under the leadership of Bigan, dozens of ministers rushed inside. The imperial army responsible for guarding Lutai saw them, and they failed to stop them one by one. They were in chaos for a while.
"Oh, my Lord Prime Minister, what are you doing?"
In the midst of the chaos, Fei Zhong hurried down from the deer platform and said: "The king has an order for all the ministers to return to their homes for the time being. If anything happens, we will report it tomorrow."
"You dare to stop me?"
Bigan was not afraid of Fei Zhong, so he pushed him away and strode up to Lutai.
Fei Zhong was shocked when he saw it. He wanted to reach out to grab Bigan, but he stretched his hand in mid-air, but did not dare to fall down. He hurriedly shouted to Wang Xu: "General Yang, stop Ya Xiang quickly."
Wang Xu held the three-pointed two-edged sword and didn't react at all to Fei Zhong's words, as if he didn't hear or see them.
Bigan saw that Wang Xu did not stop him, looked at him deeply, and walked up the deer platform in three steps and then two steps.
Fei Zhong stomped his feet angrily and asked angrily: "Why didn't you stop him?"
"Why didn't you stop me?" Wang Xu asked.
"How dare I!"
Even though Fei Zhong seemed to be very favored, in fact his status in the civil and military circles was not high, so how could he dare to stop Yabi from doing anything.
You know, Bigan was not only the sub-prime minister, but also the younger brother of Emperor Yi and the uncle of King Zhou of Emperor Xin, who was in charge of the clan mansion.
Bigan may not be able to deal with Daji, but he must deal with Fei Zhong one at a time.
It's okay to let Fei Zhongjin slander him, but with these court bosses, his life will definitely not be difficult.
"Master Fei, you know that Bigan is not easy to mess with, don't I know that? We don't have to stop Bigan, and we can't stop him. We just need to block the others. Even if the king knows it, he can't blame you.
On my head."
While Wang Xu was talking, he ordered: "Form a military formation and block the entrance to Lutai. If you adults want to go up, just crawl over us."
After hearing the order, the sergeants guarding here quickly formed a military formation and blocked the civil and military ministers brought by Bigan.
When all the old ministers saw it, they were not as strong-willed as Bi Gan, and none of them dared to trespass. This was the confrontation between Chu, He and Han.
Wang Xu glanced around and saw that the situation was not as chaotic as imagined, so he said, "Master Fei, are you going to go back and take care of the king, or are you going to come down with me and enjoy the breeze?"
"I?"
Fei Zhong looked back at Lutai. Xianle had stopped on Lutai, and Bigan had obviously gone up.
Fei Zhong knew without thinking that he would not get any favors by going up to him at this time. He shrank his neck and said with a smile: "I'd better stay with you for a while. I have something good to say to you right now."
"Oh, what's a good thing?" Wang Xu became interested.
Fei Zhong lowered his voice and said: "Just now, Concubine Liu spoke to the king and asked for the position of border general for you, and the king has agreed. It seems that in a few days, general, you will take up the post.
Let’s call him Commander-in-Chief.”
Wang Xu smiled, thinking that he finally got what he wanted, and asked with a smile: "Master Fei, which level does the king want me to take charge of?"
Fei Zhong was also unambiguous and replied: "Northeast of Xiqi and southwest of Luoxi, this place is called Hangu Pass!"
"Hangu Pass!"
Wang Xu's eyes lit up. Hangu Pass is very close to Xiqi. There is only Tong Pass in front of it, and then there is the Xiqi area, which is regarded as the second pass to prevent Xiqi from advancing eastward.
This place is good. Once the time comes, he can send troops westward from Hangu Pass, directly take Tongguan, and open the gateway from Xiqi to the Shang Dynasty.
You should know that Tongguan, Hangu Pass and Sanmenguan are the three important border towns that isolate Xiqi from Chaoge.
Once Tongguan and Hangu Pass are in hand, and Qinglong Pass is captured, Xiqi's army will have a smooth road, heading straight towards the hinterland of Chaoge.
In the novel, Xiqi and Chaoge lost many soldiers in order to compete for these levels.
Even Grand Master Wen Zhong was defeated in Juelong Ridge on the north side of Tongguan, which was really a battleground for military strategists.
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second:
