Creation Color Master
Chapter 49 The Emperor's Question
Mingzhou, in Beiming City of Beiming County, the Anyang Palace is located here.
Inside the room, a middle-aged man wearing a four-clawed dragon robe was standing in front of a desk, practicing calligraphy with a brush in his hand.
This person is none other than King Anyang Tang Tianshi.
“Tap-tap-tap.”
A flurry of footsteps came from outside the room.
As if being interrupted, Tang Tianshi frowned unhappily and said in a deep voice: "Who is outside?"
The soldier who came running over was shocked and immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the Lord of Youyan City outside the gate has come in an emergency from eight hundred miles away, and wants to see Your Majesty to report something important."
Tang Tianshi put down the pen in his hand and said, "Take him to the lobby. I will be there soon."
In the lobby, Youyan City Lord Bai Ye was pacing back and forth anxiously, looking outside the hall anxiously from time to time.
At this time, Tang Tianshi walked towards the hall with the gait of a dragon and a tiger.
Seeing Tang Tianshi, Bai Ye immediately rushed out of the hall, knelt down in front of him, and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Highness, Weiwu County is in danger. The Mongolian army has broken through the Dark Great Wall, conquered Baizhan City, and captured Guhuang County. The enemy troops are divided into three groups to attack Weiwu County, Youdu County, and Shadun County. Now they have captured several cities in a row. The governor has been killed and the city lord has been slaughtered. I am afraid that half of the Dark Province has fallen into the hands of the enemy."
Tang Tianshi was shocked when he heard this, and then he said angrily: "What did you say? I have been guarding the Dark State for half my life. How could the Mongols break through the Dark Great Wall so easily? How dare you lie about military intelligence?"
Bai Ye said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, everything I said is true. I am afraid that the four northern counties have already fallen. Your Majesty, please send reinforcements as soon as possible."
Looking at the city lord kneeling in front of him, Tang Tianshi had already believed it in his heart. Even though he had too many puzzles in his mind, he still reacted quickly.
Because of the lurking presence of the Canglang Squad, Tie Juli and his two companions had a very smooth journey and successfully captured the three counties with only a slight loss of troops.
Canglan River, the river that spans Mingzhou, has now become a place of confrontation between the two armies.
Tie Qili, who was sitting in the central army tent, couldn't help laughing when reading the letters from Generals Han Dan and Gu Li.
The letter recorded the number of enemies killed by the two men and their troops. Tieqiu calculated that the total number of enemies killed, including his own, was 130,000, which greatly reduced the power in Tang Tianshi's hands.
At this time, a guard walked into the tent and said respectfully: "General, the enemy general sent a letter."
Tie Jue seemed to have guessed the contents of the letter and said, "Hahaha, Tang Tianshi, you have come to this day. Don't pay attention to such letters in the future. They are nothing but nonsense. Go and get Ma Yuan for me."
The soldiers retreated respectfully. After a while, a general in armor walked into the central army tent and said respectfully, "I am honored to meet you, General. I wonder why you summoned me here?"
Tie Caili said solemnly: "Ma Yuan, we two brothers have been partners for more than 20 years. Now we have fulfilled the grace of His Majesty and conquered the four counties of Mingzhou. The army has advanced deep into the country. You must be extremely careful at all times. The logistical support depends on you alone."
Ma Yuan said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, General. I have already made all the necessary preparations and will not hold you back."
Tie Caili couldn't help but come to Ma Yuan, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, be very careful."
Tang Tianshi sat on the king's carriage, looking at the other side of the river where there was no movement, and he could no longer hold back and started cursing.
I was too arrogant this time. By the time I reacted and led the army there, the four counties had already been lost. If it weren't for the Canglan River blocking it, the situation would have been even worse.
But now, he has gathered an army of only about 170,000. How can he face the aggressive enemy?
Looking at the surging river, Tang Tianshi's heart could not calm down for a long time.
At this time, a man in white came to Tang Tianshi with a sword in his hand. There were spots of blood on his white robe, like a blooming plum blossom.
Zong Feng bowed respectfully to Tang Tianshi and said, "Your Majesty, I have already investigated the mission you gave me. The reason why the enemy took over the four counties so quickly is because of the Canglang Squad's internal and external support."
Tang Tianshi naturally knew about the existence of the Canglang Squad, which was the secret trump card force of the Mongol Emperor, and its status was equivalent to that of the secret guards and shadow guards.
Hearing this, Tang Tianshi said in a deep voice: "How did the Canglang Squad sneak into Mingzhou? What are the county governors and city lords doing? Don't they know that the enemy has already infiltrated the interior?"
At this time, an old man riding a horse stepped forward from behind Tang Tianshi and said, "Your Highness, this matter cannot be blamed on the governors. If it was so easy for the Canglang Squad to sneak in, I'm afraid that Mingzhou would have been breached long ago. Why wait until today?"
Seeing the newcomer, Tang Tianshi said with a hint of respect: "Sir, you are saying that there is a traitor in my Mingzhou, and he did it on purpose."
As for this old man, even if Tang Tiansheng came, he would have to give him some face. As one of the Taifu of the previous generation, Li Liang had taught many princes and was the teacher of the current emperor and all the princes.
At the same time, he was one of Tang Tianshi's important advisers, whom he had invited to his side at great cost.
After hearing Tang Tianshi's analysis, Li Liang shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, a traitor doesn't have such ability. Didn't Your Majesty realize that the other party's success was too smooth? It was like their own backyard."
Hearing this, how could Tang Tianshi not understand? His face became darker and darker for a moment.
Li Liang didn't seem to care and murmured, "My Lord, I told you when you were little, don't be deceived by your elder brother's kind appearance. The heir that your father has focused on training is not that simple."
Tang Tianshi's face was grim, and he said coldly: "Well, my good brother, you destroyed my 300,000-man army without any effort, which is really a good method."
Then he said in a deep voice: "Tell all the soldiers to be ready for battle at all times."
So he walked slowly to the back alone.
At this time, the imperial capital was in turmoil again because of one person.
In the inner city of the imperial capital, all the people living here are royal relatives, high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Those who are personally rewarded with houses by the emperor are all people at the top of the dynasty.
At this time, a group of people were standing in front of the gate of Marquis Shenwei's Mansion. They were all dressed in black brocade robes, with secret guard orders hanging around their waists, and a murderous atmosphere was in the air.
The appearance of the secret guards was like a plague, making people avoid them, and the whole street became much quieter.
At this time, the vermilion door opened, and a majestic figure opened the door and said, "This humble general greets Lord Ghost."
Seeing the person coming, the ghost said in a cold voice: "So it's General Longxiang. Your Lin family is very powerful. I dare not welcome you in person."
Lin Zhan didn't dare to get angry when he heard this, and said, "Master Guiying, you are joking. I have just entered the court and I still need your support."
The ghost's voice was still cold, and he said, "Stop talking nonsense. I am here by order to meet the Marquis of Divine Power."
Lin Zhan respectfully invited everyone into the mansion, where an old man with an aura as profound as a deep sea was sitting upright on a throne.
Standing next to him was a middle-aged man who also looked murderous.
The ghost and his group walked to the lobby and looked at the old man sitting on the armchair with complicated expressions in their eyes.
Then the ghost clasped his fists and said, "Greetings, Marquis Shenwei."
The old man sitting on the armchair opened his eyes and said, "It turns out to be Master Ghost. I wonder why you are here?"
The ghost narrowed his eyes, his eyes were still cold as he said, "You are so bold, Marquis Shenwei, why don't you kneel down and accept my order?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present knelt down one after another, even the old man sitting on the armchair staggered and slowly knelt down on the ground.
Seeing this, the ghost said loudly: "The emperor has ordered that the Marquis of Shenwei has secretly established a government office and is to appear before the emperor immediately; his grandson Lin Ziwu is arrogant and provocative, and has insulted the ministers in the court. He has been imprisoned by the Ministry of Justice."
Hearing this, Lin Mingwei seemed unable to believe it. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the ghost who announced the decree, with a pleading and questioning look in his eyes.
The ghost said helplessly, "I have nothing to say. Marquis Shenwei has a great reputation, but each generation is getting worse and worse. I am afraid that your reputation will be ruined by your unworthy descendants. All the bad consequences are caused by Lin Ziwu. My Lord, please call Lin Ziwu out quickly. I am going to make things difficult for me."
Lin Mingwei trembled with his hands, and slowly clasped his fists and said, "Thank you."
