Chapter 1,162 City Palace When Chu Yuanze knelt on the ground, his shoulders were shaking. He never thought that one day he would be able to see His Majesty the Emperor of Chu. Back then, he led the last group of Chu warriors to guard Ruyi City, the capital of the Chu Kingdom, and chose a soldier with a similar appearance to Chu Juzheng to pretend to be the emperor and distract the pursuers. If it weren't for them, Chu Juzheng might have been killed earlier. He has been dead for several years. "The guilty minister Chu Yuanze, I bow to your majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!" His voice was trembling. Regarding the reaction of such a person, although Jiu Secai thought Chu Yuanze's raised buttocks when he was kneeling was a bit funny, he actually still had some respect in his heart. When I think about Yang Shunhui and Chu Yuanze, they both surrendered to the foreigners, but the latter is obviously more sad than the former. "You are not guilty." Chu Juzheng couldn't get over quickly, and helped Chu Yuanze up with his hands: "If you hadn't led the soldiers to fight to the death, I wouldn't have been able to escape. I have been living in the Sui people for these years. , I have been thinking about whether you are out of trouble day and night. Now that I see that you are alive and well, I feel more at ease. " Chu Juzheng shed two lines of tears when he said his true feelings. "Your Majesty has suffered." Chu Yuanze and others couldn't help but kowtow, but Chu Juzheng pulled them up forcefully. "It was my fault that the country was destroyed and our family was destroyed. It was not a crime of war. I still vividly remember how you and the soldiers fought in the past. Seeing each other again today feels like a lifetime ago and I can see that there are still so many great things. I am really happy that the sons of Chu are alive. " "Your Majesty, I was wrong." Chu Yuanze also cried: "I should not have succumbed to the thieves, and I should not have brought the sons of Chu here to fight with the Sui people. Let's start a war. I have nothing to defend. The reason why I didn't commit suicide all these years is because I was still thinking about your majesty's safety. Now that I see your majesty, I have given up my wish. I am willing to be buried for the soldiers who died in the war! "Get up quickly." Seeing Chu Yuanze kneeling down again, Chu Juzheng pulled him: "If you hadn't come, it wouldn't have been easy for me to see you when I first arrived at Mu Mansion. , he promised to help me restore the country, but later Mu Guangling was still focused on fighting against the foreigners, that man had gone crazy" He turned around and hugged Jiu Secai: "Thank you to this strong man for helping me. I haven't had time to say thank you for being rescued from Mu's mansion. "Jiose Caixin said that if you came here all the way, you would have killed me too early. You will see your relatives now and say thank you to me. It's really hypocritical. "Your Majesty, you're welcome. I was ordered by my prince to rescue you and come out to meet General Chu. My prince said that although the Sui Dynasty and the Chu Dynasty were a little unhappy, after all, they were closely related to each other. If Chu was destroyed, it would be difficult for the Sui Dynasty. An. So the prince has been planning to send His Majesty back to Da Chu. You should still be sitting on the dragon chair in Ruyi City. "" Huh? , he tried many times along the way, but the fat man just ignored him. Only now did he realize that the fat man was Fang Jie's person. Although he was trapped in Mu Mansion, he still knew about the major events in Dongjiang. Rumors have already spread that millions of black flag troops have entered Eastern Xinjiang. "It turns out he is from King Wu." Chu Juzheng said: "I don't know if King Wu is willing to meet me?" Jiusecai smiled: "Your Majesty has just met his family, so we should have a good reunion first, but behind you is Mo Ke If the news about Si's army of hundreds of thousands leaks out, I'm afraid your situation will not be good. My mission has been completed, so it's time to leave. But there is something I want to say before I leave "The defenders at Malanshan Pass are also soldiers under my prince's command." Jiusecai said his last words in a chilling tone, and actually turned around to leave. Chu Juzheng was not willing to let go of this opportunity, so he quickly stopped him: "Hold on, brave man. I am able to get out of trouble thanks to King Wu. If it is convenient for you, how about you take me to see him now?" Not stupid at all. The words he used to talk about drinking, sex, and wealth sounded polite, but in fact they were hidden knives. He told Chu Juzheng, Chu Yuanze and others to be careful about foreigners knowing about Chu Juzheng. He was actually threatening Chu Yuanze. What he means is, I sent someone to you. This person is your emperor of Chu, but he is also a big disaster. If you are bent on being a lackey of foreigners, having this person by your side is enough to kill you. "Chu Juzheng is not an idiot, how could he not understand the meaning of the drunken, lustful and wealthy man's words. So although he was very excited when he saw Chu Yuanze and others, he really didn't dare to stay. A few years have passed, who knows if Chu Yuanze is still the same person??Chu Yuanze? If Chu Yuanze or his men leaked his whereabouts to foreigners, the outcome would be nothing but death. "It's not convenient." Jiusecai chuckled: "First, I can come with Your Majesty but not leave, because I have to leave through a place controlled by foreigners, and I can't afford to hurt Your Majesty. Second Second, I don¡¯t know where my prince is now.¡± Chu Yuanze didn¡¯t understand why the emperor had to leave just after he arrived. It took him a while to realize it, and he couldn¡¯t help but feel sad. But he also knew that the emperor's worries were justified. Now he is a general appointed by foreigners, and the emperor dare not stay here. "Your Majesty" Chu Yuanze thought for a while and said, "Why don't you meet the guard of Malan Mountain Pass first?" This was to put Chu Juzheng at ease. Jiusecai immediately took over the conversation: "Well, I can help you arrange it." Mokes played with the quilt in his hand and looked at the red wine liquid on the wall of the cup Fading away little by little. He didn't seem to be in a bad mood, his face was calm, and there was no sadness or anger in his slightly squinted eyes, as if the war ahead had nothing to do with him. As the most capable and brave general under Mokes, Si Gai, who has a somewhat straight temper, seems to find it difficult to understand how comfortable Mokes is now. "My Lord Marquis, today is already the third day." He reminded. Afraid that Mokes wouldn't understand what he meant, he thought for a while and added: "Chu Yuanze's team has not yet formed a truly threatening offensive against Malan Mountain Pass. If this continues, those weak The Chu soldiers are afraid that even the last bit of military morale has been exhausted. ""Sigai, do you know why you can't be the person who can command the three armies?" Mokesi suddenly asked, looking like he was two meters tall. Sigai, who was so tall and as strong as a bull, shook his head, and then nodded: "I know, because I'm stupid." Mox laughed and seemed to be in a better mood. "You're not stupid, you're just too upright." Mox stood up, poured a glass of wine for his loyal subordinate and handed it over: "You are worried about the war, but you are actually worried about my future. You know that His Majesty values ??this very much. In this battle, the three parties have invested almost a million troops so far. It is the largest battle since the empire attacked Eastern Xinjiang. If it is won, the large area in the north and south of Eastern Xinjiang will truly be included in the empire's territory. The northern half is just a pool of stagnant water. It won't take long for the water to dry up on its own. " "I should thank you for worrying about me. I am very happy to have a friend like you." He walked over and patted Si Gai on the shoulder. : "But Si Guy, do you know why I am not in a hurry? Because I am waiting for others to be anxious I bet that Your Majesty will not let Hullens sit idly by and ignore this battle. Hullens He thought he was cunning enough to hand over the trigger of this battle to me, while he hid behind and prepared to take the credit easily. He thought I couldn't see through his thoughts, but in fact I knew about him from the day I visited. What are you thinking about?" "Huh?" Si Gai was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand what Mokes meant. "Let me tell you, my friend." Mox walked to the map and pointed at the situation of all parties that he personally marked on it: "Hullens is behind me, trying to grab the credit at the last moment. But I am sure that His Majesty will be extremely concerned about such an important battle. If nothing else happens, the War Supervisor sent by His Majesty will arrive soon. Hullens will not fail to guess this, so he is more anxious than me. He would not dare to let the War Supervisor see his plan, and his Majesty would not tolerate such a thing at the expense of the Imperial Army." "You mean, Hullens. Will he join the attack?" "Yeah" Mokes nodded: "He will. The world does not revolve around him. He thought that I would do my best to attack when I got here, but I just didn't follow him. Do it as expected. Anyway, it is Hullens who has the highest military rank and title in Eastern Xinjiang, not me. Even if there is any fault, he will be responsible for it. " "Wait, those Chu people will not do it. You really did your best." Mokes returned to his seat and sat down, sipping the red wine: "I'm even sure that Chu Yuanze is already considering a counterattack if he joins forces with the Han people in Malanshan Pass. , may not be able to defeat my team. He is a beast with his neck tied, not a dog He is always looking for opportunities to break free of the chains, and now, this is the best opportunity. " Si Gai was startled: "Lord Marquis, if it goes as you predicted, wouldn't our situation be very dangerous? We also have at least 150,000 troops from the Mu Mansion on our flanks. Once Malan Mountain Pass The Han army here joined forces with Chu Yuanze, and together with Wei An's army, we got into the enemy's encirclement." "Yes" Mokesi nodded: "You are right, the current situation is basically the same. That's it." "But Lord Marquis, why aren't you worried at all?" Si Gai asked eagerly. "Because I have already guessed the development direction of the story, so I know how to avoid the traps that will appear ahead Si Guy, now I give you a task. From today on, your people will be moved to the front, Once you find that the Chu people want to counterattack, don't resist and withdraw with your troops immediately." "Ah?" Si Gai was even more shocked: "Sir, why?" "Because I want the battle to be completely chaotic." Mokes smiled and was full of confidence: "I have asked Bo Mingliang to take away half of the troops. I will make an illusion of the remaining half. If the Chu and Sui people join forces to attack, I will take them with me." This half of the people are running toward Hullens. I wonder if he won't save me. " "What if he doesn't save me?" Si Gai asked. Mokesi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't save me. I will send someone to deliver a message to Bo Mingliang and ask him to lead troops to attack Malanshan Pass immediately. At that time, the defenders of Malanshan Pass and the Chu people were chasing me. They were all wary of Hullens and Wei An They would not have thought that I had arranged for other teams to attack. At that time, Malan Mountain Pass was an empty city. Even if I lose all the Chu troops plus half of my army, as long as I capture Malan Mountain Pass, Your Majesty will not blame me On the other hand, Hullens will only have to bear His Majesty's wrath. Don't save meHaha, I don't know how Hullens should explain it in front of His Majesty."
