C39 Meeting
Zhe Keqiu, Zhe Yanzhi are currently waiting for Li Ruoshui, Wang De to arrive at the City Lord's Mansion in Tongguan City. The reason they are summoning Wang De, Li Ruoshui and the rest so that they can figure out the direction of Nvzhen's attack, and make preparations in advance!
Zhe Keqiu sat there, with a dignified look on his face! In the past few days, he had spread the news that the crown prince was in Tongguan. The Curved End, Yao Gu and the other generals of the Western Army had already expressed their wish to pay their respects to the crown prince. After discussing it with his own father, he had decided to allow Zhao Chen to ascend the throne as soon as possible.
"Father is Cao Cao Cao, and I am Cao Pi! "Heh, from today onwards, this world no longer belongs to the Zhao Family, but to my Zhuo Family!" Thinking of this, he was extremely excited!
"Yanzhi, the news of Her Highness the crown prince in the Tongguan has spread far and wide. There must be some officials of the world here to pay their respects to him. Our attitude towards the crown prince should have also changed!" Zhe Keqiu said.
"Father, is the crown prince really just a puppet? Is he just a puppet in our hands? We gave him food and drinks to live in, and that's already very good, what else can we do? " Zhe Yanzhi said.
Zhe Keqiu frowned, and said: "Yan Chi, you better not have such thoughts! After all, the Crown Prince was the king, the future emperor! We will seize the heavens to command the dukes, but on the surface, we must still pay our respects to him. Don't let others see through our thoughts and plans! "
Zhe Yanzhi was completely unwilling, but since his father had said so, he could only nod and say it out loud. I understand! I will be more respectful to that so-called crown prince from now on! "
Zhe Keqiu then nodded, and said: "Your Highness has already been in the Tongguan for a while, it's time for us to pay a visit to him! How about this, I want to hold a banquet tonight to welcome the Crown Prince and Master Li Gang! Oh right, Li Ruoshui can be considered a famous person, and he was the teacher of the crown prince back then, so we will also entertain him a little! "
The two of them were talking while the soldiers outside reported Li Ruoshui and Wang De to come in. Zhe Keqiu immediately had people invite the two of them in.
They thought that the two would first talk about the Luoyang's situation, but they didn't expect that the moment Li Ruoshui came in, they immediately asked him: "General Crop, where is His Highness the Crown Prince? We wish to pay our respects to the crown prince! "
Zhe Keqiu was startled, and said: "There is no need to be anxious about this! The Crown Prince is in Tongguan and will not leave this place. Master Li, General Wang, let's talk about the situation of the Luoyang first. How many Jin Army attacked the Luoyang at that time? How did the Luoyang fall? Do you know how His Majesty and the Overlord are doing? "
Li Ruoshui suppressed his anxious emotions and said: "Luoyang was lost on the twenty-third of the first month. At that time, the female general, Master Warrick, led thirty thousand troops. Our Luoyang only had five thousand soldiers, and most of them were old or weak, not a single one of them was a match for the Nvzhen! In just two days, the Luoyang was breached! His Majesty, the Supreme Emperor is currently in the female army, there are rumors saying that the Nvzhen is going to bring his Majesty and the Supreme Emperor to the north, we have to rescue his Majesty and the Supreme Emperor immediately! The countless imperial concubines and princesses were also captured by the Nvzhen. I heard that quite a few were raped and raped by the Nvzhen … "How, how can we, as subjects, endure this?"
Li Ruoshui was the famous loyal subject in all of history, and as he finished speaking, his face was covered in tears! He wished that he could immediately rescue the Emperor, the Supreme Emperor, their concubines, and their princesses.
It was a pity that he was so loyal. Others might not be as loyal as he was!
"Master Li, the Nvzhen is strong. Back then, how powerful was the seeded master, the seed army under his command was the strongest army in the world, but in the end, it couldn't even withstand a single blow from the Nvzhen. How could our Home Breaker be a match for the Nvzhen?" Zhe Keqiu said.
"Could it be that General Crop watched on helplessly as His Majesty was brought to the north, to bear the brunt of the torture?" Li Ruoshui asked.
"Of course not, it's just that we don't have enough strength right now!" We should gather our strength, continue to recruit soldiers, and call upon the people of the world to work for the king! Wait until the time is ripe, then we can go north and save His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor! " Zhe Keqiu said.
"Then how long will it take?" Li Ruoshui said.
"Five to ten years!" Zhe Keqiu said.
"In these five to ten years, if His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor encounter any accidents, what should we do?" Li Ruoshui said.
"If that's the case, I'm afraid we have no other choice!" Zhe Keqiu shook his head.
Li Ruoshui's heart was in pain, he could not help but squat down and cry!
Wang De, who was at the side, helped Li Ruoshui up, and said: "Master Li, now is not the time to be grieving, we need to see His Highness the Crown Prince first!"
Li Ruoshui gently nodded his head. He wiped away his tears and said: "General Crop, have you heard that His Highness the Crown Prince is in Tongguan? Is that true? "
Zhe Keqiu nodded, and said: "That's right!"
Li Ruoshui said: "We wish to immediately pay our respects to His Highness, the Crown Prince!"
Zhe Keqiu frowned slightly. He had originally wanted to make preparations, arrange the banquet, and then treat Zhao Chen with a respectful appearance. Afterwards, he would invite Li Ruoshui and the others to come! Now that Li Ruoshui wanted to see Zhao Chen, he felt troubled in his heart!
"What is it? Is there a problem? " Li Ruoshui said.
"Nothing... A while ago, the His Royal Highness sent someone to inform me, that someone is impersonating as the crown prince! Therefore, when the Crown Prince arrived that day, I couldn't identify him so I didn't see him in time! I'm afraid the crown prince is blaming us for being negligent! " Zhe Keqiu said.
"When we were in Luoyang City, we had also received a notice from the Emperor Kang. That is, someone had pretended to be the crown prince and said that the crown prince had been killed by the Nvzhen! But at that time, General Wang De was in Luoyang City, he was the one who escorted His Highness the Crown Prince out of Kaifeng City, so I knew that the Crown Prince was not dead yet! I don't understand why the His Royal Highness would send such a message. " Li Ruoshui said.
"I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince went to the Xiangzhou City first. Outside of the Xiangzhou City, His Highness the Crown Prince was surrounded and killed by the His Royal Highness. The heart of the Emperor Kang, is known to all! " Zhe Keqiu sneered.
"You mean the Emperor Kang, he … "How dare you?" Li Ruoshui said in disbelief.
Zhe Keqiu did not reply, and only nodded silently.
"Damn it!" Li Ruoshui could not help but curse.
"I have already sent someone to inform all the generals of the Western Army to come visit the crown prince and spread the news of his ambitions! Emperor Kang is a traitor, and anyone can kill him! " Zhe Keqiu revealed a trace of complacency on his face.
Right now, he had already decided to "seize the heaven's gift to order the dukes". That Emperor Kang was naturally his greatest enemy, and that was why he was willing to spare no expense to deal with the Emperor Kang!
The Emperor Kang was extremely smart, but he didn't know that even though the mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole, Zhe Keqiu still wholeheartedly wanted to protect the crown prince as his "puppet"!
"No matter what, we have to pay our respects to His Highness, the Crown Prince!" Li Ruoshui said.
"Good!" "How about this, Yan Chi, you immediately send down the order to hold a banquet. Today, we are going to celebrate the crown prince's escape, and welcome Master Li Gang, Master Li Ruoshui and General Wang De to Tongguan!" Zhe Keqiu said.
Zhe Yanzhi immediately went to hold the banquet, while Zhe Keqiu, Li Ruoshui and Wang De went to pay their respects to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen had just learnt his homework from the morning. This morning, Li Gang was lecturing on military strategy, and Yue Fei and his brothers were listening in by the side. Although Li Gang was a civil servant, and his military skills were considered "military on paper", his knowledge was outstanding.
After breakfast, a soldier suddenly ran in. He knelt on the ground and said: "This humble servant pays his respects to the crown prince!"
Zhao Chen smiled and said, "You finally know that I'm His Highness, the crown prince?"
The soldier did not dare raise his head, and said: "General Crop wants to pay a visit to His Highness the Crown Prince! Your Highness, have you been dissatisfied with being here for the past few days? "
Zhao Chen had yet to speak, but Zhang Xian snorted and said: "You all have placed us under house arrest, do you think we are unsatisfied?"
Zhao Chen waved his hand, signalling to Zhang Xian not to say anymore, and laughed: "It's still okay for me to be here! When will your General Crop arrive? "
The soldier said: "The General Crop will be here immediately! Furthermore, the Luoyang has ordered for Master Li Ruoshui, the Imperial Guard General Wang De to come as well! "
Hearing that Li Ruoshui and Wang De had arrived together, Zhao Chen was overjoyed, and said: "Are they coming as well? When did they come to the Tongguan? "
The soldier replied: "They came to Tongguan two hours ago, and when they heard that the crown prince was here, they immediately went to pay their respects!"
"Haha …" Great! Quick, let them come! I will wait for them here! " Zhao Chen laughed.
He was not familiar with Li Ruoshui at all. Originally, Li Ruoshui was his teacher, but he had only seen him once, on the day he teleported to another world. Furthermore, he had fainted on that day. However, he was exceptionally familiar with Wang De. Wang De was the person he was closest to the most in this era, even compared to Li Gang! In Zhao Chen's heart, Wang De could be considered as his best friend in this world! Originally, after they split up, Zhao Chen was very worried about Wang De's safety, but now it seemed that Wang De was safe and sound!
"This is great!" Zhao Chen was so excited that he mumbled to himself.
Your Highness, when Zhe Keqiu comes back, you have to show that you are weak! Li Gang said softly.
"Weak?" Zhao Chen was startled.
