Chapter 8 The Breeze Blows Up Tonight(2/2)
When I read this, Dai Quan was also shocked by the secret letter written by Zhang Jinyu. This is the last letter. It has been like this in just a few days.
After Zhou Shihong heard this, his body swayed, and when Dai Quan saw it, he hurriedly came over to help him.
"Your Majesty, take care of your dragon body! We can't listen to General Zhang's words now. The letter from the Imperial City Department has not arrived yet. Don't be anxious, Your Majesty. How can it be possible that there has been no news from all those generals in just a few days? Isn't it outrageous?"
"I, it's okay. What you said makes sense. Are all the commanders and generals of the 200,000-strong army dead?"
Zhou Shihong heard Dai Quan's analysis and it made sense.
At this moment, Eunuch Yang outside the door came again;
"Your Majesty, Manager Dai, there are three urgent and confidential letters from the Northeastern Imperial City Secretary, and the time interval is less than a quarter of an hour."
"Quick! Dai Quan, bring it over."
"It's the Emperor."
Dai Quan quickly went out and brought it in,
"Open and read directly."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Dai Quan also looked at the sealing paint on the secret letter.
After confirming again that they were intact, I opened and read the letters in the order of arrival time.
"Shen Qianlian, who is in the humble position of Pingyang County and Imperial City Secretary, Qianhu, has an urgent matter to report. I only found out on the 21st that I sued the Pingyao City guard and prefect for losing. Pingyao City escaped and was captured by the Jurchens at a very small cost. Pingyao City Imperial City Si Baihu rebelled, not only did he not deliver the news, but he also lost contact for more than 5 days."
After Dai Quan finished reading,
I know that things may change in Northeast China.
He glanced at the livid Emperor Wu and swallowed unconsciously.
"keep going!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I humbled myself on the afternoon of October 20th and found out that the commander of the reinforcements, Prince Zhou, ignored the advice of the guard general Zhang Jinyu and led his generals to attack and ambush, breaking out to the south, leaving an army of 200,000 men behind! Fortunately, Zhang Jinyu The general led his troops to go out of the city for rescue, and now they have rescued most of them and returned to the city, but suffered heavy losses!"
"continue!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, under the command of Pingyang County Guard Zhang Jinyu, we have been fighting bloody battles with the Jurchen forces following for two days. Now Pingyang County is tightly surrounded by 250,000 elite troops of Jurchen Khan Huang Jitai. Pingyang City is in danger. , The humble duty Shen Baichuan is willing to defend Pingyang County with General Zhang Jinyu until they die in battle, to be loyal to Dawu and to the emperor, October 21, 55th year of Dawu Calendar, night."
"This is right, Zhang Jinyu's words are confirmed!"
The strength of Emperor Wu's body seemed to be drained out for a moment, and he was about to fall straight to the ground. This scene frightened Dai Quan, who hurriedly held him up.
"You are all dead, why don't you come and help quickly? Then call the doctor! Hurry up."
Dai Quan angrily shouted at the young eunuchs around him.
Several people carried the emperor with all their hands and feet,
On the dragon bed, Concubine Wu was so frightened that she hid and watched, not daring to make a sound.
After Dr. Wang arrived, he took a look and checked his pulse.
"Your Majesty, please feel at ease. I am just worried about my heart. I will prescribe a prescription to soothe my nerves and just take care of it."
"I know it's okay, I'm just angry. Doctor Wang is sorry for bothering you."
"Your Majesty, I have betrayed a minor minister. I will go down and prepare some medicine for you."
"Okay, let's get down."
