Chapter 155 Fu Chenan Asks for a Fight
Fu Chenan took the poison that the emperor asked Guyu to give him. Now he can't even get out of bed. The imperial physician has examined him and confirmed that he was poisoned. How can we discuss this?
The palace guard came running over, handed something to the eunuch at the door, and said something. The eunuch took a look and immediately came in to report.
"Your Majesty! General Fu Chenan of the Marshal's Office has submitted a petition requesting to fight!"
Everyone turned their eyes to the kneeling guard.
The guard held a letter written in blood in his hands, and it was actually written by Fu Chenan!
"Read!" The emperor blurted out a word with mixed feelings.
The guard read out the words, written in blood like chicken chop, which were just two simple sentences: "General Fu Chenan is willing to lead the army to fight! Drive out the Tartars! Avenge my father!"
"Your Majesty, please give me some medicine to boost my spirits. I will lead the army to the battle immediately!"
His Majesty the Emperor: !!!
What is a spirit-boosting drug?
If we want Fu Chenan to go to the battlefield and defend the capital at this time, we can only give him the antidote!
His Majesty the Emperor had no choice but to ask the imperial physician to come and bring the antidote to Fu Chenan and hurriedly send it to the Marshal's Mansion.
Not long after, Fu Chenan entered the palace with a pale face.
At the same time as Fu Chenan entered the palace, there was also an extremely urgent military intelligence report from the front line.
It turned out that while the emperor was chatting with his courtiers, the Tatars had advanced over a hundred miles and were now stationed at the foot of Jeju City, only a hundred miles away from the capital!
It only takes two hours for the cavalry to travel over a hundred miles. Once Jeju City is breached, the capital will be in danger!
The emperor was greatly alarmed and asked repeatedly, "Where is the general of Jeju?"
"Where is the governor of Jeju?"
The messenger hesitated to speak, but finally gritted his teeth and said: "The Jeju General and the Jeju Governor abandoned the city and fled..."
The emperor's eyes went dark and he was on the verge of collapse.
"His Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, please think of a solution!"
"This is how to do ah……"
For a while, the court was in chaos.
Finally, the emperor found his voice again: "Come here, pass the order, the Jeju Tongpan will temporarily take over the post of Jeju General, lead the army to stop it!"
"We must stop the Tatar cavalry outside Jeju City at all costs!"
"Your Majesty, the Jeju Tongpan has also submitted a memorial..."
The assistant minister of the Ministry of War took out a memorial that he had just received before going to court, and the Ministry of War had not yet had time to present it to the emperor.
The emperor's hands were shaking so much that he couldn't bear to read it. He just asked the eunuch beside him to read it.
When the eunuch opened the memorial and read out its contents, the entire court was as quiet as a chicken.
It turned out that the Jeju Tongpan had actually proposed in his memorial: driving all the people of Jeju out of the city to form a self-defense army to fight against the Tatars!
In this way, on the one hand, it can stop the Tatar's advance and consume the Tatar's military strength.
On the other hand, it can also buy time for the Jeju defenders to set traps in the city.
Once the Tatars entered Jeju City, they would prepare to burn down Jeju City and make sure to burn all the Tatars to death inside Jeju City!
After hearing this incredible memorial, all the civil and military officials in the court didn't know what to do for a moment.
Let the people serve as self-defense forces?
And burned the people’s houses and property again?
This was the first time they had seen someone say "letting the people die" so legitimately and righteously!
But if we don’t do this, what else can we do?
They don't have a better charter.
Some people want to jump out and oppose, but they are worried that if they stand up, they will become the first to stand out and will be sent to the front line...
For a moment, everyone looked around and no one spoke.
Fu Chenan saw everything and felt sad: Look, this is the Daliang Dynasty that the soldiers defended with their lives!
From top to bottom, apart from fighting for power and enjoying life, no one thinks about protecting the country and the people!
The Emperor, who was sitting at the top, had a face so dark that water could drip out of it. He could understand the meaning, and he actually approved of this method.
The common people are nothing but ants.
It would be their honor if they could die defending the capital!
But he couldn't say this in person, so he looked down, wanting the people below to say it.
But everyone knows that once these words are spoken, they will be infamous for eternity, so no one says them.
After a brief and strange silence, the emperor began to call on the person directly: "Minister Qin, what do you think about this matter?"
The Minister of War stood up and said, "The situation is extremely critical now. The generals are away from home and cannot obey the orders of the emperor. The local generals in charge should make the decision themselves."
It means supporting that black-hearted judge.
The emperor was silent for a moment, then looked at the others: "What about you? What do you think?"
The civil and military officials in the court looked at each other and knelt down one after another: "I second the motion!"
"I second the motion..."
Half of the people knelt down, and the remaining half, whose consciences were not yet completely black, stood there awkwardly.
I can't kneel down, nor can I stand straight.
Fu Chenan saw it and his heart sank.
He looked deeply at the civil and military officials who were still standing, then gritted his teeth and stood up.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army to fight immediately, to do our best to protect the people of Jeju and drive out the Tartars!"
The emperor looked at Fu Chenan deeply, his heart full of complicated feelings.
"Well done, Mr. Fu! You must lead the 20,000 troops stationed in the suburban camp to Jeju to provide support! You must drive the Tatar cavalry back to their grasslands!"
The Tatar cavalry had a total of 50,000 soldiers, but the emperor only gave Fu Chenan 20,000 soldiers. He not only had to protect Jeju, but also had to drive the Tatar cavalry back to the grasslands...
Fu Chenan bowed and said, "Yes!"
All the civil and military officials in the court inexplicably thought of the turtle in the wishing pond of the Huguo Temple.
Fu Chenan is that bastard.
I dare to grant any wish!
Can he do it?
Fu Chenan took the pair of cards and strode out of the palace, riding his horse to the camp outside the capital.
In the camp outside the capital, Fu Chenan took out the decree for mobilizing troops, but the commander of the camp outside the capital looked defiant: "There are a total of 50,000 garrison troops in the suburbs of the capital. I wonder which part of the army is written in the decree?"
Fu Chenan didn't expect that he was still putting on airs at this time. After looking at him in disbelief, he sat down on the chair and sneered.
"General Zhu, you can give it to me at any time. Anyway, half an hour ago, the Tatar cavalry was still a hundred miles away from the capital. Now they should be less than a hundred miles away."
"If General Zhu delays the opportunity to fight, when the capital falls, we will die here together."
General Zhu didn't expect Fu Chenan to be so tough, and was stunned for a moment.
He knew that Fu Chenan was rich, and he just wanted Fu Chenan to say a few soft words and promise him some benefits, and then he would give 20,000 of the money to Fu Chenan.
Unexpectedly, Fu Chenan's penis was so hard that it was pushed back directly.
Fu Chenan was not in a hurry at all. He not only crossed his legs, but also played with the whip, looking as if he didn't care.
General Zhu was so angry that he almost cursed, but thinking that the military situation was urgent, he had to call for troops: "Xuanwu Army, White Tiger Army, assemble! Prepare to go to war..."
Half a cup of tea passed, and Fu Chenan saw a group of listless soldiers standing in a mess, while some soldiers were hurriedly putting on their armor.
Fu Chenan wants to kill someone!
What's the difference between leading a team like this out and sending them to their deaths?
