Chapter 948 Unexpected joy
"If the official family goes to supervise the battle, please take the concubines and other people. It is a blessing or a disaster, life or death, and they are all together!"
"What are you doing? When did I say I want to supervise the battle?" Zhao Bing was reviewing the official documents, when suddenly the queen Wu Xi and a group of concubines broke into the study. Without saying a word, he knelt on the ground, causing him to be in a hurry.
"Officials should stop lying to me, the tabloids have been published!" Wu Xi said as he took out a newspaper from his sleeve and presented it to him.
"How is it possible? How can the tabloids know about things that I don't know? And this kind of newspaper has always been to attract people to buy, and they often make things out of nothing. How can they believe it?" Zhao Bing took the newspaper and said, "and he secretly laughed at the fake news he used to deal with Boyan, but he fooled his wives together.
"Officials, this tabloid newspaper clearly says that it was reported from the palace, so how could there be false?" Lei Yan looked up at the little emperor and said.
"Oh, can you all beloved concubines get up and talk? Isn't it criticized to be heard here? I think what I have to do with you?" Zhao Bing looked at the beauty on the kneeling ground, but at this moment he felt like a bush of roses with thorns. He sighed and said.
"If the official family does not agree, I will kneel to death here!" Everyone did not get up, and Zhang Ping tilted his neck and said angrily.
"The official family is the best at lying. He wants to stabilize us first and then sneak away!" Chen Shu also snorted coldly with a stern face.
"Then how do you want me to explain? If this is spread from the palace, who can send it out through these warnings? And you also use your brains. How could I easily reveal such a secret matter to others without hiding it? Even if I accidentally let it go, it will be the trusted people around me who can hear it, but how could they leak it?" Zhao Bing laughed and pretended to be angry.
"This... the official family has not left the palace in the past two days. Apart from morning exercises with the guards, they have reviewed official documents in the study. The hall is full of people who have followed the official family for many years. Even if they hear it, they will not talk much. There are almost no other people who can contact the official family. And I have not noticed anything abnormal about the official family!" Wang Yu hesitated and testified for him.
"Concubine Chen has been with me. Don't you believe what she said?" Zhao Bing said as if he was catching the truth.
"Sister Chen Fei is honest. How can he fight against the official family? It is not easy to deceive him!" Chen Shu didn't buy it and rolled her eyes.
"Haha, you can't believe Concubine Chen, then I can't do anything about it!" Zhao Bing spread his hands and smiled bitterly.
"If the official can tell something clearly, I will believe what the official said is true!" Li Sanniang said at this time.
"Oh, please tell me Concubine Shu!" Zhao Bing said in a bit surprised and suspiciously.
"If the official family wants to leave the palace secretly, it is nothing more than taking a boat or hiking out of the palace. When I came, I deliberately circled a road. The boat parked in the lake had not moved, nor had it prepared food and water. However, the four-wheeled van in the yard was cleaned up, not only was it wiped, but the axles were also newly added. However, the official family always did not take this car when traveling, but the four-wheeled van was modified from a chariot. What I don't know is that if the official family wanted to go to supervise the battle, why should he use this car?" Li Sanniang asked.
"What's so strange about this? It's because of the chariot that it needs to be maintained at all times for use. It's also true that you still have to wipe it from time to time to avoid rusting!" Li Sanniang's question was indeed beyond his expectations. Zhao Bing did not expect that he had conducted a thorough investigation in advance and caught him off guard, but after a moment of thinking, he made up a reason.
"The official's explanation cannot convince me. I asked the head of the chariot and horse courtyard. He said that the car needs regular maintenance and will be inspected, oiled and cleaned at the end of each month. If he did not tell lies, it should have been repaired soon. So why should he maintain it again after only two days?" Li Sanniang shook her head and said.
"This..." Zhao Bing was asked, secretly scolding herself for not neglecting this. Wu Xi and others were all from wealthy families. They usually did not go out of the door and had little social experience. However, Li Sanniang was different. Not only did he assist his mother in managing Zhulidong when he was young, but he also secretly entered the new training system to study, and he also commanded the mountain travel to Jiangnan. His knowledge and strategy were by no means comparable to other people. It was difficult to deceive him by just using some small means.
"The official family has nothing to say this time!" Wu Xi saw the emperor speechless and indecisive inquiries, he knew it was true and asked again.
"Get up, I can explain it to you. But you must know that this matter is serious. If a word is leaked, it will be known to the spies of the Mongol Yuan that tens of thousands of soldiers will lose their lives. Do you have to listen again?" Zhao Bing thought for a while and said.
"..." The girls were a little surprised and confused when they heard this, and didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Abnormality is a monster. I want to see what the official family sells!" Chen Shu pondered for a moment, stood up and said.
"Okay, let's listen to the explanation from the official family!" Wu Xi bit her lip and then stood up and said.
"Well, come with me!" Zhao Bing nodded. He also realized that without a reasonable explanation, his wives would not let him go, and would feel resentful. It would be better to explain it clearly. Anyway, the possibility of their leaks was almost zero. Then he shut down all the idle people and asked them to close the door, and then opened the door of the war room.
When Zhao Bing pushed open the door of the war room in the back hall, Wu Xi and others were extremely surprised. This was the place where the legendary hidden the most core secrets of the empire. The emperor opened the door to them today, which was equivalent to treating them as his own people. Seeing the huge maps hanging on the walls, the realistic sand tables placed in the hall marked the distribution of troops, the situation of our enemies, and even the height of each mountain, the depth changes of the river water in all four seasons, were all detailed, and the path, a pond and a few wells in the village were all clearly drawn.
"This is what is called planning in the tent and winning thousands of miles away!" Zhang Ping said with emotion after seeing it.
"It's really hard for the official family. You have to memorize all of these in your heart, so that you can calculate it in time!" Li Sanniang is an expert and understands the importance of it after a glance. He did not expect that the little emperor had made such hard work, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Come here, I'll explain it to you!" Zhao Bing called the girls to the Jiang Defense deployment map, picked up the baton and said, "Can you understand?"
"Well, I can see clearly!" Li Sanniang nodded and said.
"I can understand a little bit!" Wu Xi also nodded.
"I have been growing up in my father's study since I was a child, so I can't understand these things!" Chen Shu rolled her eyes and said, while the other three shook their heads.
"This sand table is a situation chart of confrontation between our army and the Mongolian Yuan." Zhao Bing explained, "The current Mongolian Yuan concentrated its troops in Runzhou. They wanted to concentrate the troops of the five thousand households of Wanhu Mansion in Hebei, Shandong, as well as the recruited 500 warships of the Goryeo Navy and the newly recruited 50,000 naval troops crossing the river. Now the enemy Goryeo Navy carried the newly recruited naval troops and left Mingzhou to reach Huaiyin from the sea through the entrance of the Huaihe River, and then entered the Yangtze River to invade Jiangnan through the canal."
"There is nearly 200,000 troops in the Yuan Dynasty, but our Dantu, Jiankang and Jiangyin along the river, only three armies, less than 100,000 troops, will be a fierce battle!" Li Sanniang said heavily.
"It is precisely that the Wanhu Prefecture in Huaixi, Henan Province in the Mongolian Yuan had already deployed tens of thousands of troops in Jiangzhou and Ezhou, and restrained it, making it impossible for our army to transfer reinforcements from east to east. Therefore, it is urgent to block the reinforcements in Goryeo..." Zhao Bing did not explain to them in detail, but only explained the situation briefly.
"The emergency military affairs that the official handled on the eve of the past are related to this matter?" After the emperor said that, Wang Yu interrupted.
"That is, if the enemy wants to dispatch the Huihui navy to meet the Goryeo naval army at the entrance of the sea, then our navy will be attacked by the enemy. It will not only be difficult to complete the task of blocking the enemy, but also likely to suffer significant losses. So I asked to send reinforcements. I also weighed it in the middle of the night before making a decision." Zhao Bing nodded and said.
"Then your Majesty cannot take risks without authorization!" Wu Xi complained.
"Queen, as long as the naval army that can be used at present, as long as the naval army in front is controlled, this is also the only water force in the eastern section of the river defense. It is responsible for blocking the enemy's crossing the river. Once it goes north to support, the enemy takes advantage of the situation to cross the river. Our army is powerless to block the enemy on the river, so Your Majesty wants to fight in person." Chen Shu took over the conversation and said.
"The imperial concubine is a bad person. We are actually wrongly blamed the official family!" Li Sanniang interrupted at this time, and looked at the emperor with deep apology.
"Concubine Shu, the official family secretly went to the alchemist and didn't say hello to us. Could it be that we were wrong to blame him!" Zhang said with a pout.
"You have never been to the battlefield, so naturally you don't understand the combat effectiveness of our army. Although the imperial guards' troops are inferior to those of the Mongolian Yuan, they are guarding the city and have sufficient food and ammunition, which is enough to block the enemy and the river bank. Besides, tens of thousands of guards can be used as aid, the officials must be very clear, and it is not enough to have to fight in person." Li Sanniang said.
"Why did the official family secretly go to the Dantu?" Wu Xi still didn't understand very much and asked in confusion.
"I think the tabloids are the sound of wind deliberately released by the officials to cover the imperial naval army. One is to make the enemy mistakenly think that the officials lead the imperial naval army to protect the Dan disciples, and even attack Jiangbei, so that the enemy dare not drive troops to rescue the Goryeo naval army without any force; the other is to buy time for the imperial naval army to reach the mouth of the Huaihe River. After all, the two places are still thousands of miles apart, and it is not possible to travel against the wind." Li Sanniang replied.
"The Shufei means that the official family set up a suspicion array in the old days, and was the one who deceived the Yuan Dynasty?" Wu Xi looked at Li Sanniang, and then the emperor couldn't believe it.
"Of course, it's not the first time he!" Chen Shu sighed, "Listen to my father's words, I only played a play in the Qiongzhou official family, but the enemy chief Kublai Khan used troops to Annan and Chameng for several years and drained all the troops in Jiangnan, which allowed Qiongzhou to breathe and restore his vitality. But Kublai Khan didn't know that he had fallen into a trap until his death, otherwise he would be angry to death."
"Okay, the matter is clear, and I don't need to explain more!" Zhao Bing smiled. He didn't expect that his plan would have been discovered by Li Sanniang. He secretly sighed that he was not a seven-foot man, otherwise he would have another good general. Unfortunately, he would have to endure the years in the palace in the future.
"I have blamed the official family wrongly, so I ask the official family to punish him!" Wu Xi took a step back and said with a deep respect.
"It's good that you make trouble, but this makes people believe it's true." Zhao Bing helped him up.
"The official family means that there seems to be a peek from the Meng Yuan in this palace?" Wu Xi said in surprise.
"After you've been trying this, I'm afraid the harem has spread all over the place. The palace ban seems to be very strict, but in fact it's like a sieve. Maybe the eunuch, the palace maid, accidentally, will spread to the outside of the palace, so why do you need Meng Yuan's eyeliner?" Zhao Bing said with a wry smile.
"That I immediately asked them to shut up, and immediately kill them if they leaked a word!" Wu Xi frowned and said.
"No need, there are only a few of you who know the details. As long as you don't say anything, you will be peaceful." Zhao Bing poked everyone's forehead with his fingers and said viciously.
"Who knows whether the official family deliberately leaked some secrets to stabilize us and then slipped away again while we were relaxing!" Chen Shu rubbed her forehead and retorted.
"Hey you!"
"Well, the imperial concubine is right, we have to guard against the official's reuse of the same trick!" Wu Xi nodded and said.
"Then thank you for your hard work. You must take good care of the official family and never let him escape!" Zhang Ping lazily and Wang Yu teased.
"Oh, I'm considering the ability of the instructor family. The six of us can't compare to him in combination. Fortunately, it's time for the sister of Concubine Xian to take the turn today, so I can take off this burden." Wang Yu sighed first, then pulled Lei Yan and pushed her to everyone and said.
"The sisters can't bear to see the official family. How can I be competent? Or..." Lei Yan waved her hands and said, "When the youngest among the girls, she waved her hands and said.
"Don't look at me, we can't see through the official business, and I can't do it even more!" Zhang Ping saw Lei Yan looking at him, and quickly shrank back.
"Since that's the case, it's better to add two more people, keep pace with the officials day and night, and guard the official family, that's good?" Chen Shu glanced at the emperor and said, "She knew that Wan'er was not the opponent, otherwise she wouldn't have to pretend to be strong in front of her.
"Since that's the case, it's better for all the sisters to move into Zhiyuan Hall, and you can discuss it if you have any questions. Furthermore, you can prevent you from accidentally letting go of your mouth and secrets. Everyone can remind each other so as not to miss national affairs!" Wu Xi thought for a while and said.
"The queen's proposal is indeed a good idea, but Zhiyuantang is so narrow that it is afraid that it can't stay with so many people!" Chen Shu frowned.
"What's the difficulty?" Zhao Bing interrupted at this time, "After that I will ask you to change the bed in the dormitory to a large bed. We all slept on the same bed, and we slept together. Wouldn't it be solved?"
"Official family, you are so embarrassed..." Wu Xi was stunned and blushed.
"Have you made this idea long ago to let us know the inside story?" Chen Shu also chuckled with a blushing face, but her hand sternly on the emperor's arm.
"Oh, if you don't want to, why bother to do this!" Zhao Bing screamed, rubbed his arms and grinned.
