poor family prodigal

The letter was circulated among eight people, and everyone frowned after reading it!

In three days, the impregnable Longtou Pass was lost. How long can Jiushan County hold on!

King Tu Nan is so powerful, among all the generals in Daye, who can stop him!

thump!

After a brief silence, Yang Fengguo, the left prime minister, knelt down and clasped his fists: "Your Majesty, please immediately issue an order to appoint Wu Ling as the commander of Chengzhou and mobilize all the soldiers and horses in Chengzhou to stop King Tu Nan from marching south and guard the gate of Chengzhou!"

Emperor Xinglong frowned and turned around: "Right Minister, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, Wu Ling's ability to command troops is indeed far superior to that of Xue Pan, but he is young, energetic and willful, and does not take Huang Ren seriously. If he is allowed to command troops, he will definitely dare to send troops to fight with Huang Ren's cavalry. Fight!"

Bao Qingshi said expressionlessly: "King Tu Nan was able to conquer Longtou Pass because he used time to bribe Lu Chengye in advance. Xue Pan would definitely be on guard against this. If he tries to use this trick again, he will have to attack Jiushan County again. Fighting in difficult situations. A man with an iron cavalry is good at fighting in the wilderness, but not good at fighting in difficult situations."

"Yes, Not Bad!"

Emperor Xinglong nodded solemnly: "Now Xue Pan is more suitable for the Jiushan County battlefield than Wuling."

Another thing he didn't say was that he had always been worried about Wu Ling, worried that he would turn against his mother, brother, and sister after taking over the army!

"His Majesty--"

Upon hearing this argument, Yang Fengguo's eyes turned red and he yelled: "Do you know that once the Dragon Head Pass is broken, King Tu Nan will send his troops south and reach Chengzhou easily. As long as Chengzhou City is broken, there will be no obstacle to his southward march. , but you can drive straight to Huanglong and reach the capital. Now at a time when life and death are at stake, you will leave your great cause and destiny in the hands of a dude, can you really rest assured!"

Shi Yaoqian, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, scolded: "Yang Fengguo, you are so brave. You dare to roar in the imperial study and yell at His Majesty. This is a serious crime of disobedience and deserves death!"

Emperor Xinglong frowned and looked at Yang Fengguo!

"If Your Majesty lets me die, why would Yang regret it!"

Yang Fengguo raised his head and said seriously: "Your Majesty, at this time of life and death, you must not look forward or backward.

I am willing to use my wealth and life to guarantee Wu Ling that he will not have second thoughts about the imperial court. Please also ask your majesty to issue an order immediately to make him the commander-in-chief of Chengzhou and command the army of Chengzhou to prevent the slaughter of the Southern King from going south.

If Your Majesty does not agree, the words of the old ministers will be of no use, and I will no longer be an official in the court. I am willing to resign and go into seclusion! "

After saying this, Yang Fengguo took off the black gauze with a look of uncompromising determination!

"Your Majesty, there is no need for a young commander in this battle. We will also resign and go into seclusion!"

Zhou Jingye, the Minister of Rites, and Qin Zhan, the Minister of War, took off the black gauze and knelt down together!

I'm really tired. Your Majesty doesn't use every big strategy and just plays checks and balances all day long!

Now the country is in danger, and it’s still like this!

"His Majesty!"

Yuan Guanluan, the official minister who had been silent, also said: "Wei Chen believes that it is time to use a young commander at this time. Although Xue Pan has a distinguished family, he has never fought in any big battles and his experience is not as good as that of Ruan Chenggang, so he is not qualified to take on this role." heavy responsibility.

And the young marshal has experienced hundreds of battles, no one in Chengzhou can match him! His heart is pure, and even the ministers have seen it before and are willing to vouch for him. "

"Yuan Aiqing, you see him like this too!"

Emperor Xinglong frowned for a moment and looked at the four ministers: "Well, I will give him a chance and appoint him as the commander of Chengzhou's troops and horses. He will control the soldiers, horses and officials of Chengzhou and resist the army of [-] deserters from King Tu Nan." !”

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Yang Fengguo, Zhou Jingye, and Qin Zhan kowtowed with joy, their eyes filled with excitement.

Young Marshal, he is finally back in charge of the army, what do the deserters have to fear!

The four old faces of the Right Prime Minister Bao Qingshi, the Minister of Industry, the Ministry of Husbandry, and the Minister of Punishment are a bit ugly!

"Your Majesty, I have one more thing!"

Yang Fengguo shed tears and once again clasped his fists and prayed: "Please recruit Wang Yuan, Wang Yuan, a boy from Dawangzhuang, Beiping Township, Fu County, to come to the capital to make an exception. This man has talents in the world and can help the generals of the Great Xia to turn the tide and turn the tide before they fall!"

Seeing that the imperial court had not implemented the demolition of walls, the prohibition of night markets, the sharing of food stalls by farmers, and the payment of grain by both officials and gentry, Zhao Weimin wrote him another letter.

Listed a series of data, wrote down the three-hundred-year rule of the dynasty, and hinted in a very obscure tone that this young gentleman had understood the secret of heaven.

Shi Yaoqian, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, stood up and said: "Prime Minister Zuo, don't push too far. Your Majesty has already promised the young marshal as a general, but you still want to stuff a child into the court. If your Majesty really adopts your suggestion, he will not be criticized by the world's scholars."

Emperor Xinglong waved his sleeves and walked away: "Prime Minister Zuo, there is no need to mention this matter again. How much talent does a little boy have? He is just someone else's puppet."

We have received information from the Shadow Dragon Guards and know that this son is very close to Wang Haitian in the county.

That old fox is still restless after resigning, and wants to support a child to interfere in government affairs.

It's a pity that I know everything clearly and have seen through everything long ago, so I won't fall into your tricks!

……

Two days later, Wang Yuan and Wu Ling led a group of people and pushed a three-bow crossbow to the commander's residence. They wanted to discuss with Xue Pan to place the crossbow on the city wall to increase the defensive strength of the soldiers guarding the city.

King Tu Nan led his army to the north of Jiushan County and had been attacking the city for two consecutive days.

This attack on the city was more fierce than that at Longtou Pass. A large number of rams, ladders, and catapults were used. The defenders suffered thousands of casualties and their morale was extremely low.

Wang Yuan and Wu Ling, who were left behind to help, were not qualified to go to the tower because they could not get Xue Pan's warrant!

For two days in a row, the two couldn't bear it anymore and directly pushed the three-bow bed crossbow.

I want to demonstrate it to Xue Pan, let him see the power of this crossbow, and talk about how this crossbow can be mounted on the city wall.

As a result, the two of them were dumbfounded when they arrived.

In front of the commander's residence, there was a huge crowd of people, all of whom were prominent people in the city, each with their servants and carrying boxes filled with gold and silver.

"Don't crowd, don't crowd, come one by one!"

"You all know the rules. It costs fifty guan for a person to leave the city. We only accept gold and silver!"

"Go inside and someone will open the official document for you. Once you get it, you can leave!"

The gatekeepers shouted directly without the slightest scruple to cover up.

The blue veins of Wu Ling's fists bulged out: "Asshole, I asked him to seal the city to gather the power of the great clans to resist the barbarians' attack on the city. Unexpectedly, he actually made money by sealing the city. This is difficult for the country to make money. This It’s Shuo Shu and he deserves to be killed!”

"..."

Wang Yuan was stunned and speechless.

The national crisis is approaching, and even he, a time traveler, wants to contribute!

I really didn't expect that Xue Pan would dare to do such a thing at this juncture.

He suddenly realized that he had been too underestimated. The greed, shamelessness and greed of these nobles made him faint.

In the courtyard of the Commander's Mansion!

A clerk sat next to him, opening the official documents and then stamping the city defense seal.

Official documents were issued one after another for dismissal, and white money and golden gold were poured into big boxes.

"what!"

Xue Pan, who had been partying all night with two dancers in his arms last night, yawned and came over: "How much money have you collected in the past two days?"

"Return to the commander!"

The clerk flipped through the account book and replied: "More than two thousand people left the city and received one hundred and ten thousand taels of silver."

Xue Pan frowned and said, "That's it. Starting from tomorrow, each person will receive one hundred taels, and we will try to make another one hundred thousand taels."

The secretary was worried: "But Sir, if we collect money like this, it will definitely spread to the capital. Paper cannot cover the fire!"

Xue Pan sneered: "It's nothing to collect a little money. Compared with the fall of Longtou Pass and Jiushan County, it's nothing. I just want to make money now. When Jiushan County is about to be destroyed, I will take the money back to the capital." . When the time comes, once you have enough money to manage it, and find someone to take the blame, you will have passed this level."

Just as he was talking, an urgent voice sounded: "Young Marshal, you can't go in. The commander is busy with official duties, so you can't break in without permission!"

While talking, Wang Yuan and Wu Ling had already walked into the courtyard. Looking at the boxes of money, the two of them frowned, with anger burning in their eyes!

"Wu Ling, you are so brave, you dare to break into the commander's residence!"

Xue Pan's eyes darkened: "Believe it or not, I will send people to capture you now and punish you with military law!"

Wu Ling said nothing, his eyes swept over the gold and silver boxes, and then looked at Xue Pan, showing pain and confusion: he seemed to not understand, how could he do this when the country was facing a national crisis!

Feeling uncomfortable with this look, Xue Pan turned to look at Wang Yuan and sneered: "It turns out to be Mr. Mingtan, do you also want to take your people out of the city? This matter is also simple, just give me another magic weapon , I will issue you a pass official document."

Wang Yuan suppressed the anger in his heart: "I have no intention of leaving. I am here to deliver a three-bow bed crossbow to help the soldiers defend the city! I hope you can take a look and see that the crossbow I made can really defend the city."

"Bed crossbow!"

Xue Pan smiled: "I didn't expect Mr. Mingtan to be not only good at writing poems, but also able to make instruments. But I'm sorry, my Daye Craftsman has built enough instruments, and I can withstand the army of deserters for the time being, so I don't need to worry about Mr. Mingtan. "

Wang Yuan gritted his teeth and frowned!

I really didn't expect that Xue Pan didn't even take a look when the three-bow crossbow was delivered to the door.

That's right, he is currently focused on making money for himself, so how can he think about defending the city!

This is simply making fun of the lives of the people in the city!

"Xue——Pan——"

Thunder roared and exploded, and Wu Ling stepped forward with red eyes: "I thought that no matter how dandy you are, you should have some conscience and know your responsibilities.

But I didn't expect that you are so crazy that you don't care about defense at this time, and you only want to make money.

You are making child's play with the lives of the people in the city, and you are ignoring the great cause of the country.

You don't deserve to be a commander, you deserve to die! "

"How dare you, Wu Ling, you, a prisoner, dare to be rude to me!"

Xue Pan's eyes darkened: "Here, let me capture him and put him in jail!"

clap la la...

Hundreds of heavily armed soldiers rushed out, each one drawing a bright sword.

rub!

Wu Ling ignored him, unsheathed the long sword at his waist, and walked towards Xue Pan step by step!

Xue Pan backed away in fear: "Come on, capture him for me!"

"kill!"

A group of soldiers came forward with swords in hand!

Wang Yuan frowned and took the handle of the knife.

I really didn't expect that Wu Ling was so strong and Xue Pan was so dandy, and the situation was now out of control.

That's all, that's it, let's do the worst case scenario!

Suddenly, a hurried shout came: "Where is Wu Ling? The imperial decree has arrived. Come and receive it!"

Wu Ling frowned and knelt down in the front yard. Xue Pan also ran over!

Wang Yuan watched from across the yard!

A red-faced soldier took out a bright yellow imperial edict: "By God's blessing, the emperor decreed that the deserters invaded, Longtou Pass was lost, and the great cause was in danger. Wu Ling was specially appointed as the commander-in-chief of Chengzhou to command the army of Chengzhou. He was awarded gold medals and arrows to control Chengzhou. Military and political officials, those who disobey orders can be killed first and then punished. I hope that my beloved will live up to my expectations, resist the army of deserters, and protect my great cause!"
