Chen Ben treacherous

Just as the soldiers were leaving the city, another official hurried into the city and went straight to Jia She's residence.

Jia She was discussing with Gu Pengfei on how to pursue Lie Dagger Tu, but he heard a rumor from outside the account: "Lord Jia, Tu Wan asks to see you!"

Jia She hurriedly said, "Come in!"

Tu Wan's hair was covered with snowflakes, and his face was full of wind and frost. When he saw Jia She was about to open his mouth, he suddenly saw Gu Pengfei beside him, and he closed it again.

Jia She knew that he had something important to tell himself, and it might not be convenient for Gu Pengfei to listen to the content, so he said, "Have you worked hard all the way? We just made a bowl of pigeon soup here, come over and have a sip!"

Tu Wandao: "My lord, this subordinate is not hungry, let me take a step to speak!"

Jia She made it easier for Tu Wan to get out of the tent, and saw that although it was afternoon, the sky was gloomy, there was constant light snow, and the wind was bitter. The two went to Linghu Chunshui's room together. Linghu Chunshui was painting a peach tree. , Fallen flowers are colorful.

Jia She gasped, "You know how to draw?!"

Linghu Chunshui put away his painting calmly, and asked, "What happened?"

Jia She then looked at Tu Wan, and Tu Wan said, "Zhao Jingzhong and Hu Yeqin are still in the capital, and the subordinates rushed back to report to your lord! The situation is not good!"

Jia She asked, "What's the current situation in the capital?"

Tu Wan shook his head and said: "The three of us were ordered to go back to the capital to help the lord. We first went to give gifts to Dong Duzhi, and said a lot of good things. Dong Duzhi's attitude was ambiguous. Although he didn't expressly say that he would help, but the first imperial edict At that time, he sent his confidant Eunuch Wu to pass the decree!"

Jia She nodded and said: "Eunuch Wu has already been here and helped me a lot, so it can be seen that Eunuch Dong never forgets the past, he is a kind and righteous man!"

Tu Wandao: "We tried our best to meet with Concubine Yan Gui. We originally took a string of Donghai necklaces and many jewels from your lord's home, but when we went to see Concubine Yan's neck, it was much better than your lord's. Yes, I went to explain my intentions, but Concubine Yan Gui ignored me and said to save some money for my lord, and stop doing useless work!"

Jia She said: "Lie Dagger Tu is the fourth prince of the Tatar Kingdom, and I only got a third-rank official. Of course, he is not as rich as him, let alone me. I am afraid that the treasury of the entire Tianshui Dynasty is also worse than him." Not in his private residence! He is quite generous, but the matter with Concubine Yan should have been resolved!"

Tu Wan sighed and said, "It's okay for these two to talk, but it's a bit difficult for us to go to the two princes in the capital, and your lord's other 'good friends'!"

Jia She's eyebrows twitched, and Linghu Chunshui interjected, "Sheshe, it seems that your adulterer won't buy it!"

Tu Wan looked at Linghu Chunshui, as if he had found a bosom friend, and said angrily: "Those people are usually on good terms with adults, but now when they see us, they are like avoiding poisonous insects. Lord, King Jing said that he hadn't seen him for a long time, and he had long forgotten what he looked like; King Rui was even more extreme, he asked his subordinates to come down to talk...say..."

Having said this, Tu Wan stopped talking, and Jia She said, "What did King Rui say?"

Tu Wandao: "King Rui said: 'If Jia She came here in person, maybe this king would take a look at his ass and say a few words for him. Now that no one else is here, and there is no sincerity at all, this king has already Find a new love, let him give up!'”

Linghu Chunshui chuckled, Jia She blushed, and said, "It's better to turn your face and deny people! I'll save you and get involved with these people when I return to Beijing!"

Tu Wandao: "The three of us have been active in the capital for many days, and our money has been exhausted, but... we have let down the great trust of your lord..."

Jia She patted Tu Wan's shoulder and said, "It's okay, you have helped me win for half a month! If you hadn't gone back, I'm afraid I would have been ordered to withdraw my troops half a month ago!"

Tu Wan sighed, and said, "My lord, what should we do now? When I set off from Lin'an, I heard that Lie Dagger Tu's army was going south, and there were a lot of discussions in the court. It's unlucky to be handsome, let the adults lead the troops back to rescue! Only the champion of the new division speaks to the officials, saying that the Lie Dagger Tu army must not dare to go south!"

Jia She looked at Linghu Chunshui and asked, "The number one scholar in the new department? Also one of my adulterers?"

Linghu Chunshui asked, "What's the name of the new champion?"

Tu Wan thought for a while, and said, "The surname is Wen, it seems to be called Wenshan, and the character is Rushui."

Linghu Chunshui shook his head at Jia She: "I've never heard of Wen Shan, so it should have nothing to do with you!"

Jia She said: "This Wen Ruoshui is very knowledgeable. He is in the capital and doesn't know much about the battle situation on the front line, so he can make such a judgment. It can be seen that he is a talent! Then what is the reaction of the officials after hearing the words of this number one scholar? "

Tu Wandao: "How can the officials react? He said at the time: 'If the Tatars retreat, they don't want to win, but they want to be undefeated; if the Tatars take the opportunity to go south, the country will be lost!" He has no qualifications to face the saint at all, and he has been waiting outside the palace gate. It was Dong Duzhi in the palace who sent someone to tell his subordinates the news! The official's intention is obvious. He is still worried that Lie Dagger will go south, and he would rather not win the battle. Let the adults go back to Beijing too!"

Speaking of this, Tu Wan said angrily again: "The top scholar in the new department, Wen Shan, was jealous because of his speech, which was different from that of Prime Minister Ding Dayou. Ding Dayou immediately dispatched him to Shuzhou to be a clerk! He nodded and said nothing! When Wen Zhuangyuan left the capital, his subordinates went to see him off. He wanted to take the opportunity to thank him, but he didn't see him behind closed doors, and even asked his servants to insult his subordinates! My lord, courteous If so, I think your lord should go back to Beijing quickly and explain to the officials in person!"

Jia She bit his lip and remained silent in thought. He had already received four letters asking him to lead troops south, and he could still use the fact that he had already sent Gundam there as an excuse. Is it really going to fall short?

The three discussed for a long time, but there was nothing they could do. Linghu Chunshui finally comforted Jia She and said, "Now that the imperial decree has not yet come down, the most you can do is to release your dagger and return to the north. It may not be too bad to return to the capital!"

Jia She waved his hand irritably, and after a while, he said, "Let's put this aside for now! It's just that I never expected that no one in the court would speak up for me!"

Linghu Chunshui looked at Jia She: "In the past, those people got close to you because your elder sister, Concubine Jia Gui, was in the prime of her life and wanted to get some benefits from you. Naturally, everyone responded! I tried to persuade you at that time, but you I didn't listen, I thought those people really loved you..."

Jia She said: "Stop talking about the past! When will the letter from Gao Da to Concubine Yan be delivered?"

Linghu Chunshui thought for a while, and said, "Even if he travels day and night, it will take three days at the fastest!"

Jia She clenched his fist: "No matter how many days it takes, as long as there is a chance, I won't give up so easily!" After speaking, he walked outside, Linghu Chunshui shouted from behind: "Where are you going? "

Jia She didn't turn his head back: "Go to Gu Pengfei and discuss the encirclement and suppression of Lie Dagger Tu!"

Linghu Chunshui looked at Jia She's back, sighed slightly, turned around and went back to the room, picked up the pen, and continued to draw his unfinished painting.

On the screen, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, but under the peach blossom tree, there is a man covered in rags and a sore face, lying on the ground and twitching in pain.In the distance, a river of spring water slowly flows eastward, and small boats on the river, dotted with white sails, are just the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.

As soon as Jia She entered Gu Pengfei's big tent, Gu Pengfei noticed that his expression was not right, so he didn't ask any further questions, but said: "I just looked at the map and the deployment of troops, and reported it according to Jiangbei's detailed work. It must be preparing to withdraw troops from Qingshanji in Hankou!"

Jia She leaned forward, and his military knowledge had improved a lot these days. He pointed to the mountains north of Hankou, nodded and said, "The terrain is open to the south, and there are mountains to cover the north, and there are official roads. It’s a good place! If Lie Dagger Tu really goes from here, our army’s land battle will not be as good as Lie Dagger Tu’s, and we will definitely not get any benefits!”

Gu Pengfei also said: "That's right, now Lie Dagger Tu has sent the vanguard to go from here, there are guards along the way, we can't beat him! But Lie Dagger Tu's current army has not had time to withdraw to Jiangbei, if we are in the Yangtze River If we fight him in a water battle, that Lie Dagger Tu will definitely not be able to go back smoothly, he has no choice but to choose this place!"

Gu Pengfei pointed at the map, and Jia She's eyes lit up: "Here...isn't this the Huarong Road in the south of Ezhou?"

Gu Pengfei said: "That's right. The terrain in Huarong area is complicated. It's difficult for Liejiantu's army to be a leader. It's suitable for our army to set up an ambush! If our army can successfully destroy Liejiantu's warship, he can only go here! And absolutely I don't have the strength to go down the river again!"

Jia She laughed and said, "We have captured Huhuangzhou upstream, and the warships have not suffered any major losses. The decisive battle is now! Hurry up and invite the other two generals to come and discuss together!"

Gu Pengfei grabbed Jia She who was about to leave, and said: "But there is still a problem! The garrison in Hankou is not under your jurisdiction, and if you want to send troops, you need the defenders in Anqing to march to Hefei together! With the strength of our Ezhou alone, even if we can stop Lie Dagger Tu, it may not cause him too much loss!"

Jia She's smile gradually froze again, mobilizing the troops of Hankou and Anqing, only the court of Lin'an can do it, he is absolutely not qualified for this!

At this moment, another notification came from outside the tent: "Lord Jia! The Imperial Court of Lin'an has arrived!"

Jia She's palms were sweating a little, but he still walked out, and saw that the person who came to declare the decree was no longer an eunuch, but a civil servant, and the civil servant handed over the secret decree to Jia She, and looked at Jia She meaningfully. : "Master Jia, the official family ordered the subordinates to come oversee the army!"

Jia She opened the secret edict, only to see that this time was different from the edicts he received several times before. The previous few times were written on white paper and issued by the Privy Council, but this time, it was written on yellow paper with a cover on the cover. It said Fu Jiashe, and the bright red jade seal was covering it. It was actually a handwritten edict written by the emperor himself!

According to the rules, Jia She bowed in the direction of Lin'an, and then opened the edict, but he saw that it read: I heard that Lie Dagger Tu's vanguard troops have arrived in Shuzhou, please bring the army to help, don't slow me down!

The tone this time is different from the previous few letters, it is already quite severe!

Jia She handed the imperial decree to Gu Pengfei's hands, and Gu Pengfei's brows were tightly knit together.

The two looked at each other, and after a while, Jia She finally realized, and said to the official who delivered the decree: "I haven't asked for advice yet, this lord honors his name!"

The official looked at Jia She, and said in a gentle tone, "My surname is Li, and my name is a false character. I am currently serving as the Minister of Rites!"

Jia She ordered his own soldiers to treat Li Shilang well. Gu Pengfei pulled Jia She aside and asked, "I think the tone of the officials is already a bit harsh. If you resist the order and disrespect it, it will be regarded as a crime." Even if you win the battle, the imperial court will not let you go!"

Jia She raised his head, looked at Gu Pengfei, and asked, "Are you scared?"

Gu Pengfei shook his head: "You are the coach. If you are investigated, you may be in jail. I'm just... worried about you!"
