Xia Yu woke up and rubbed his head. He still felt a bit like a hangover. There was a celebration party in the camp yesterday and he drank too much again.
In this state, you will definitely not be able to practice martial arts, and you need to rest.
At this moment, Zhang Yu came in to report, but it was Li Shimin who invited him. Xia Yu had no choice but to tidy up and went to the commander's tent.
"The military advisor is here, sit down quickly." Li Shimin also rubbed his head, looking like he had a headache.
"Haha, Your Highness also drank too much?" Xia Yu laughed.
"No." Li Shimin smiled bitterly: "It coincided with a big victory, so I drank too much. Unknowingly, I drank too much."
"Let's not talk about this. We have invited the military advisor here today to discuss something."
"Your Highness, please speak."
"Just now, I have ordered that the bodies of Shan Xiongxin and Bayegang be sent back to Wang Shichong so that their families can bury them together."
Xia Yu understood and smiled: "This move can not only show His Majesty's benevolence, but also dampen Zheng Jun's fighting spirit. It really kills two birds with one stone."
"By the way, that old guy Wang Shichong won't be so angry that His Highness will vomit blood, right?"
"Hahaha!" Li Shimin laughed proudly, feeling that his hangover was much lighter: "If he died of anger, it would be much easier for me."
"It's a pity that Wang Xuanying ran away, which shows a slight flaw."
"By the way, Gu has decided to rest for a few days before marching into Luoyang and besieging it. I wonder if the military advisor has any opinions on this?"
"No." Xia Yu shook his head: "The Zheng army has lost all its cavalry and has no power to counterattack. It is the right time to march to Luoyang at this time."
"It's just that Wang Shi, as a world hero, will never sit back and wait for death. He will definitely ask Dou Jiande for help."
"But in the civil war in Hanoi, our army has been fighting for a long time without success. If Dou Jiande's entire army goes south and rescues Wang Shichong here, our army will be in trouble."
"Gu Ye is worried about this." Li Shimin sighed.
"In the old days, the military advisor said that Wang Tai was stationed in Hanoi. Liu Dewei and Huang Junhan were probably too anxious to leave, and I still didn't believe it."
"Today, the two generals have been fighting hard for more than a month. Not only has the city of Hanoi not fallen, but even the Heyang floating bridge is as stable as Mount Tai."
"The second general wrote a letter yesterday. In addition to pleading guilty, he also asked Gu for help."
Upon hearing this, Xia Yu said: "We want reinforcements. If we don't capture Hanoi, our army will have to worry about its back even if it besieges Luoyang."
"It's just that what the northern front is in urgent need of is not soldiers or generals, but strategies to defeat the enemy."
Speaking of this, Xia Yu suddenly felt something in her heart and said with a smile: "Your Highness, could it be that you want me to go to the Northern Line?"
"Hahaha!" Li Shimin laughed: "The military advisor really understands my heart. If others go, I will feel a little worried. If the military advisor goes, I will have nothing to worry about."
Xia Yu did not recommend it either, and nodded: "Since Your Highness trusts you, I will go on to the next one. It's just——"
Seeing that Xia Yu's prophecy had stopped, Li Shimin hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter what the military commander said."
Xia Yu worriedly said: "It's just that I am still relatively junior, and I am not an old acquaintance with the two generals Liu and Huang. Can they be willing to obey orders?"
The main business is here, so he doesn't worry.
With Li Shimin in charge, he can take advantage of the situation and no one dares to disapprove, but he is not familiar with the personalities of Andy Lau and Huang Junhan.
If he is an arrogant and domineering person, even if he has all kinds of strategies, he will not be able to use them.
What kind of person Li Shimin was, he understood in an instant, and immediately said: "Military advisor, don't worry, Generals Liu and Huang are both loyal and loyal people, and they will not violate the rules."
"Of course, to avoid any accidents, I will give the military advisor an order to assume the power of the general on my behalf."
"If the two of them disobey orders, the military advisor can make arbitrary decisions based on the situation, and there is no need to report them as orphans."
When Xia Yu heard this, she was very satisfied.
This is not because he is suspicious, but because he is prepared for a rainy day. When the real thing comes, but he can't act, that would be dangerous.
As strong as the God of War Xue Rengui, if he meets his pig teammates, he will suffer a disastrous defeat in Da Feichuan, which will be a lifelong regret.
Xia Yu is engaged in history, and taking history as a guide, he naturally has to take precautions.
"Very good, then I will go to Hanoi to meet Wang Tai."
Li Shimin was very happy that Xia Yu was willing to go. He no longer had to worry about the civil war in Hanoi and could comfortably go to Luoyang to deal with Wang Shichong.
"By the way, we are going to Hanoi for more than a hundred miles, and we have to cross the Yellow River. To avoid any accidents on the way, how about we just let Daoxuan go with the military advisor?"
Xia Yu was happy to hear this: "The Prince of Huaiyang is invincible, so I can rest assured. However, whether he is willing to go to Hanoi instead of Luoyang is a question."
"Don't worry." Li Shimin winked: "Under Luoyang City, there are boring siege battles. He can't bear his temper."
"Although Hanoi is small, there are many opportunities for meritorious service. He will agree."
Sure enough, it was her own family who knew her own family. When Xia Yu heard this, she and Li Shimin looked at each other and smiled.
At the same time, Luoyang, the Zhengguo Palace.
Wang Shichong was furious and smashing things again. There was a thunderous roar and a roar in the palace, which frightened the eunuchs and guards outside the palace.
Ever since yesterday afternoon, when Wang Xuanying led dozens of remnants of his troops to flee and brought back the news of the tragic defeat, Luoyang has been plunged into gloom and mist.
What was lost in this battle was not the nearly ten thousand cavalry, but the future of Zheng.
What makes Wang Shichong even more worried is that Wang Xuanying was seriously injured and fainted just after escaping back to Luoyang. He is still receiving first aid and has not woken up.
According to the doctor, he was injured and ran away without timely treatment, resulting in excessive bleeding.
Whether he can wake up depends on Wang Xuanying's own destiny.
How could Wang Shichong, who always thought highly of himself, bear such bad news one after another? Naturally, he became furious and furious.
Finally, Wang Shichong was tired of smashing, and stared with red eyes, as if he wanted to eat people: "Come here, invite the king of Tang, Duan Da, Yang Gongqing, and Huan Fa to meet you!"
"No." The imperial guards flew away, fearing that if they were a little negligent, they would be beheaded.
At this moment, a eunuch came to report with joy: "Your Majesty, I am so happy! The prince just woke up for a while and even called your Majesty."
Wang Shichong was overjoyed when he heard this.
As the eldest son, Wang Xuanying had devoted too much of his efforts and maintained too many expectations of him, which could not be missed.
"Quick, come and see with me."
Wang Shichong hurried to the Prince's East Palace. As soon as he entered the palace, he grabbed the gray-haired imperial doctor and asked, "How is the Prince?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the prince woke up just now and fell asleep again."
"However, the pulse is getting stronger and stronger, and there is no serious problem. After a hundred days of careful care, he can basically recover."
Seeing Wang Shichong's ferocious face and fierce eyes, the old imperial doctor almost pissed himself with fright and quickly replied.
Wang Shichong let out a long sigh, and finally calmed down a little after being hit so hard. He immediately had someone move an embroidery stand and sit in front of Wang Xuanying's bed. He took his cold right hand and waited silently.
All these show that although Wang Shichong is a powerful man, he is also very affectionate.
After a while, a guard came to report: "Your Majesty, King Tang, Doctor Huan and others are here to see your Majesty."
However, a few people were summoned to the palace. When they arrived at the main hall, they found out that Wang Shichong had come to the East Palace, so they had no choice but to rush over to see him.
"Let them come in." Wang Shichong did not look back.
"promise."
After a while, Wang Renze, Duan Da, Yang Gongqing, and Huan Fasi came in. The four of them were cautious and fearful.
Everyone knows that Wang Shichong was in a bad mood after the tragic defeat.
"Your Majesty." Several people greeted him.
Wang Shichong turned around and glanced at the four people, his expression showing loneliness and exhaustion: "My dear friends, we have lost this battle again. Tell us, how should we deal with it?"
Huan Fasi shrank his head. How could he dare to say anything at this time?
Duan Da and Wang Shichong were both ministers and friends, so they still dared to speak. He sighed and said: "Your Majesty, without the cavalry, our army has no power to win a decisive victory against the Tang army."
"Now, we should send another envoy to Hebei and ask Xia King Dou Jiande to come to our aid as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, once the Tang army besieges the city, I'm afraid they won't even be able to send envoys out."
"Yes, Duan Aiqing, please make arrangements." Wang Shichong nodded, knowing that it was not too late, this was the last way to survive.
"promise."
"Your Majesty," Wang Renze also said: "There are still some cavalry in the cities below. I suggest that they be transferred back to Luoyang to increase one or two counterattacks."
"Okay, you can do it."
Wang Shichong also agreed. Although this would weaken the defensive capabilities of the cities below, he was too impatient to worry about it.
If Luoyang falls and the other cities are defended, what's the point?
At this time, Wang Shichong glanced at Huan Fasi. Huan Fasi suddenly felt a cold and murderous aura enveloped him, and his heart was filled with fear.
"Huan Fa Si, you have done a good job! Tell me how I should reward you!"
Hearing Wang Shichong's extremely unkind tone, Huan Fa Si was almost frightened and hurriedly knelt down, kowtowing like garlic: "Your Majesty, forgive me, I, I did my best! I really don't know what went wrong. It must be someone like Xun Xiang who leaked it."
If you don't get wind of it, don't do my business!" As he begged, he winked at Wang Renze and others, asking everyone to intercede.
Duan Da thought for a while and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, as you are employing people, I hope you will forgive Doctor Huan a little and allow him to serve his crime well."
Wang Renze and Yang Gongqing also expressed their pleas for mercy.
Wang Shichong was silent.
The losses of the Flying Tiger Army made him heartbroken, and the losses of Shan Xiongxin and Ba Ye Gang, two of his most trusted generals, also made him burn inside and out.
Although he really wanted to kill Huan Fa Si to vent his anger, but as Duan Da said, the Zheng Kingdom's talents are now withered, and it is true that they can no longer kill each other.
No matter what, Huan Fasi, a dog-headed strategist, can still help many times.
"That's all. If there are any mistakes again, please bring me up to see you." Wang Shichong coldly threw out the ultimatum.
Just when Huan Fasi thought he had escaped death, Wang Xuanying suddenly jumped up on the hospital bed, and he didn't know where he got the strength. He rushed in front of Huan Fasi and beat him wildly.
"Huan Fa Si, you are such a thief, you have made me miserable!"
"Die for someone."
What happened was so sudden that no one expected that Wang Xuanying would suddenly wake up and suddenly get angry. By the time everyone came to their senses, Huan Fasi had been beaten until he was crying and rolling on the ground.
Even though Wang Xuanying was seriously injured, he was a military commander after all, so he was more than ready to beat a civil servant.
"Quick, pull away from the prince!"
Wang Shichong jumped up anxiously. He didn't feel sorry for Huan Fasi, but he was afraid that Wang Xuanying would be so angry that he would get hurt and it would be over.
Duan Da and others woke up from a dream and hurried to pull Wang Xuanying away from the rampage.
The palace was in chaos for a while, and it was very lively.
