"Yaoshan!" Hearing this petition, Wen Rou's joyful mood just now froze in an instant.
I just came back from the frontier to quell the rebellion, are I going to leave again
Didn't the emperor already say that Ji Yunjian, the son of the Minister of War, is going to bring 30,000 elite soldiers to quell it
But Yaoshan still wants to ask for orders to go!
Gentle and puzzled, the whole person stood there in a daze.
"Oh? General Sheng is concerned about the country and the people. I really appreciate this kind of loyalty! It's just that General Sheng came back with his troops to quell the rebellion in the frontiers. Is there any reason for the general to go out now? Besides, the rebels in Southwest Bashu The army is no more than 50,000, and the garrison is no more than 20,000, and the other 30,000 are just local aborigines. I ordered Ji Yunjian to take 30,000 elites from the capital to go, that's enough! General Sheng is still in the capital with peace of mind Wait for the good news of triumph!" Liu Heng comforted with a smile.
"Report to the emperor! This time, I must go to the expedition!" Sheng Yaoshan refused, and bowed his hands and knelt down.
"Oh? Why is that?" Liu Heng was puzzled.
"My Majesty, there are many mountain roads in Bashu, and the terrain is dangerous! Whether it is an ambush or an attack, it is a natural barrier and protection. Although 20,000 people are stationed, it is actually enough to deal with my 30,000 elites in the capital. And The remaining 30,000 are local aborigines who are familiar with the terrain and landforms. Although their combat effectiveness is not as good as our elite in Beijing, they pay attention to the right time, place and people in wartime, and the rebels have all three of these! What's more, General Ji Yunjian is He is a Confucian general under Duke Dingguo. Even though he is resourceful, he has little experience in charging and killing the enemy. This battle is a fierce one. Your Majesty, I beg you to lead your Sheng family army for the sake of the people and the country of Great Zhou. , together with General Ji Yunjian!" Sheng Yaoshan was moved with emotion. Understand it with reason.
After hearing this, Sheng Biji felt sour, knowing that the terrain of Bashu is dangerous, and going to fight here must be a fierce battle. But his chivalrous and heroic son insisted on being in danger... Alas!
Sheng Biji sighed for a long time, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty. The old minister has been feeling unwell recently, and the family needs to be taken care of by dogs. This time, Lao Chen has an unfeeling request. Since Ji Yun Jian is Duke Ding's subordinate. Why didn't you invite Duke Ding to come out of the mountain and take Ji Yunjian to wipe out the rebels? If you are still not at ease, you can invite Mr. Yue to go with you! The frontier rebellion beforehand. I am also praising Mr. Ren Yue for his resourcefulness as a military adviser! Dingguo’s family has three sons, but the old minister’s family only has Gouzi, and Chen is old and frail, so he really cannot do without Gouzi!” Sheng Biji earnestly said .
"Well, Prime Minister Sheng is right..." Liu Heng stroked his beard in thought.
"Your Majesty! Although Ding Guogong is the head of the military cabinet, he is old after all! It is a long way to go to Bashu, and the mountain road is rugged and difficult. I have been to Bashu a few years ago and I am familiar with the terrain. Therefore, I implore the emperor. , this time the expedition, let the minister go!" Sheng Yaoshan ignored Sheng Biji's excuse. Before Ren Hongting could speak, he continued to earnestly plead for his life!
"Your Majesty! My subjects, please go!" Who knows, when he heard Sheng Yaoshan's words, Ren Yue, who was standing by the tender side, also took a step forward, knelt down beside Sheng Yaoshan, begging for his life as well.
"Oh? Duke Zhuangyuan is also going to fight together?" Liu Heng was stunned.
A few months ago, Sheng Yaoshan and Ren Yue together wiped out the rebellious grassland tribes in the frontier, although it was the first time for them to go out together. But they have a tacit understanding!
That day when the team returned to the court, the two leaders of the grassland tribes who were escorted back had already been sentenced by Liu Heng. Serving in Beijing!
At the same time, members of the Xiushu tribe. In the grasslands, keep yourself safe, cultivate your health and rest, and donate cattle, sheep and dairy products to Dazhou in accordance with the seasons!
When the service period expires, two more tribal leaders will be released to return to the grassland.
Now, Sheng Yaoshan pleaded so impassionedly, Ren Yue also asked for the same, this situation really makes people cry!
"The champion's heart, I accept it! It's just that Ji Yunjian was originally a Confucian general! He has a reputation for being resourceful and resourceful to defeat Zhou Lang! He has always done his duty under Ding Guogong, but now I have selfish intentions, and I am already a general. His daughter, Sheng Jiaoxue, proposed to marry him! I thought, Confucian generals are not as often sent to fight as military generals. Now that they are suppressing the southwest rebellion, let Yun Jian go with General Sheng! The champion stays in the capital, and he will help I share my worries, and secondly, it's time to start preparing for your marriage with Miss Wen!" Liu Heng stroked his beard and nodded.
"But the emperor..." Ren Yue seemed to want to say something else.
Although that Ji Yunjian is a Confucian general, although he is also elegant and resourceful, and although there are less than three years to marry Wen Wen, everything seems to be in time, but for some reason, Ren Yue always feels that this time Sheng Yaoshan asked for orders to go out, it seemed that it came too suddenly, he seemed to be avoiding something on purpose, or he knew that this was a fierce battle, or even an entangled war, but he just wanted to ask for his order to go!
"Okay, there's no need to say more about the number one scholar, let's do everything according to General Sheng's wishes! With General Sheng's participation and Ji Yunjian's cooperation, this battle must be victorious! You go and prepare, Going out tomorrow! I am waiting for your good news in Beijing!" Liu Heng's eyes flashed brightly!
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for fulfilling your mission! I will definitely fulfill my mission!" Sheng Yaoshan cupped his hands and quickly withdrew!
"Your Majesty! My daughter has a merciless request!" Immediately after, following Sheng Yaoshan's rapid departure, Nangongxue knelt down and asked to resign.
"Oh? What's the matter with Xue'er? Could it be that he was also influenced by General Sheng and wants to go to the Southwest?" Liu Heng smiled.
"Report to the emperor, my servant has exactly this intention!" Nangong Xue responded.
"Oh? Xue'er is a girl's family, and she is not as good as a cook like Miss Wen was in the army last time. What is the purpose of this expedition?" Liu Heng was puzzled.
When Liu Heng said these words, Wen Ruan originally wanted to kneel down and resign, and also wanted to accompany him as a chef!
A few months ago, she had already served as the cook of the army once, so she probably won't be rejected when she asks for orders this time.
Never thought that Nangong Xue also asked to go with her before herself!
Wen Wen was full of doubts, and immediately thought about Liu Heng's words. Since Ren Yue's request for life was not accepted, the reason was that he wanted to stay in Beijing to prepare for his marriage. What is the reason for other men to go on a long journey? !
Thinking of so many royal relatives and so many powerful ministers present, I should not increase the misunderstanding.
"Returning to the emperor, my servants have been studying medicine with my grandfather over the years. They always want to cure diseases and save people, and show mercy. There are many good doctors in Beijing, and there are many imperial doctors in the palace! On the contrary, the soldiers who went on expeditions worked hard all the way. Also suffering from the pain of the war, there are not enough doctors in the army, and the usual battles are too busy. Since this is a difficult battle in Bashu, there must be more doctors in need! The army is going with us, so that we can fulfill the doctor's long-cherished wish of saving lives and healing the wounded! I hope the emperor will make it happen!" Nangong Xue replied calmly, word by word.
