Thump thump thump 咚咚咚 108 sound evening drums as before. 一百零八响暮鼓依旧。 In January 2 nd, should be the Chang'an City liveliest time, the news that but the border pass just spread, lets this 1 million population obviously the giant city, had no way to calm the mind to celebrate the new year. 正月初二,本该是长安城最热闹的时候,不过边关刚刚传来的消息,显然让这座百万人口的巨大城池,没法静下心来过年了。 Exceptional Longevity Street, ‚Xiao, Lu, and Xu’ red lanterns in three big memorial arch are shining the glimmer, on the long street the person's shadow is sparse, all aristocracy high-ranking court officials, are discussing the current situation in your family place. 魁寿街,‘萧陆许’三座大牌坊上的红灯笼亮着微光,长街上人影稀疏,所有王侯公卿,都在府上商议着当前局势。 In main street and small alley, the writer scholars assemble in the teahouse and in literary society, the expression indignant, shot the breeze ; common people in tavern teahouse, denounced severely Northern Qi this flock of mourning watchdogs the scabs to forget hurting well. 大街小巷之间,文人士子围聚在茶社、书社内,言辞激愤、高谈阔论;酒馆茶肆中的百姓,痛斥北齐这群丧家犬好了伤疤忘了疼。 Although Jiangnan just had armed rebellion half a month ago, met near Northern Qi when the end of the year, but Chang'an common people, is optimistic. 虽然半个月前江南刚发生叛乱,又在年关时遇上了北齐袭边,但长安的百姓,还是持乐观态度。 After all Great Yue establish a country through military force, so many armies are not the ornaments, the writer scholars and marketplace common people, discussed how to retaliate to shock Northern Qi, to raise my Great Yue national prestige. 毕竟大玥以武立国,那么多军队不是摆设,文人士子和市井百姓,商量的都是如何报复震慑北齐,以扬我大玥国威。 But the student and common people, saw is the things that the royal government wants to make them see, understood the character who truly current situation, is standing in Taiji Hall at present . Moreover the current mood, is not stimulated. 但书生和百姓,看到了都是朝廷想让他们看到的东西,真正了解当前局势的人物,目前都在太极殿里站着,而且目前的情绪,可没那么亢奋。 On the white rock jade say/way the dragon flag flap flap, center imperial city Taiji Hall, such as the past equally was solemnly and respectfully dignified. 白石玉道上龙旗猎猎,皇城正中的太极殿,如往日一样威严肃穆。 In both sides Taiji Hall, the civil and military hundred officers establish separately, casts down one's eyes, the nose view heart, listens respectfully combat report that Taiyuan 800 li (0.5 km) were just passing on urgently, in addition, does not have other sounds again, the needle falls may hear. 太极殿中,文武百官分立两侧,眼观鼻、鼻观心,聆听着太原刚刚八百里加急传回来的战报,除此之外,再无其他声响,针落可闻。 The Ningwu Mountain Pass news , the most royal courtiers had known before dawn, now finds it a little hard to believe as before. 宁武关的消息,凌晨时分,大半朝臣都已经知道了,现在依旧觉得有点不可思议。 Defended 60 years of Ningwu Mountain Pass, how possibly did a day break? 守了六十年的宁武关,怎么可能一天就破了？ The given explanation was in the army the Northern Qi spy, collaborated from outside with the inside to destroy the city wall, to open closing. 给出的解释是军中出了北齐奸细,里应外合破坏城墙、开了关门。 The army strategic place can have the spy, can the switch gate spy, who the political investigation do? How is the intelligence done? 边军重镇都能出奸细,还是能开关门的奸细,政审谁来做的？情报工作是怎么做的？ News that the Northern Qi building up crack troops 300,000, many uncivilized nationalities military, the so big sound, obtained in addition in advance, is only various Northern Qi Right Side Prince lines relieves a garrison unexpectedly, the normal reassignment. 北齐集结精兵三十万,加上诸多蛮族兵力,如此大的动静,事前得到的消息,竟然只是北齐右亲王各线换防、正常调动。 Arresting and Scouting Department spends so much money, raised the innumerable secret agent and spy child, even this could not see, is the light does not do the rice bucket of matter with money? 缉侦司砸进去那么多银子,养了无数密探、谍子,连这都看不到,都是光拿银子不干事儿的饭桶？ The civil and military hundred officers, in the heart are pondering over various at sixes and sevens possibilities, but discusses these now, obviously does not have the significance. 文武百官,心中都琢磨着各种乱七八糟的可能,但现在讨论这些,显然没有意义。 Northern Qi has entered the pass, is in storm Taiyuan, Jinzhong is broken the city by the surprise attack. Before this is almost sixty-year cycle , since has founded a nation, Great Yue first time hit is so ugly. 北齐已经入关,正在强攻太原,晋中更是已经被奇袭破了城。这几乎是甲子前立国以来,大玥头一次被打的这么难看。 The eastern front is been directly under by Western Liaoning Protectorate, Emperor remote lead(er), since the personnel dispatch, the army deploy troops for defense, is Emperor Song Ji and their crowd of civil and military royal government formulates. 东部战线由辽西都护府直辖,天子遥领,从人员调度,边军布防,都是天子宋暨和他们这群文武朝廷制定。 King Chu and north King Yu assisting, the soldiers place not important place, Ningwu Mountain Pass is north Taiyuan the most important military fort, from the commanding general to the supervising army is Emperor respect chose/point. 楚王与豫王协防北方,兵都放在不怎么重要的地方,宁武关是太原以北最重要的军事要塞,从主将到监军都是皇帝钦点的。 Place trifling thing that if this Su, Chu, Yu, Wei, and Yue five kings guard does not have, the place that Emperor guards personally lost the half of the country, how with the various kings confession? How confessed with land under heaven common people and aristocratic family aristocrat? 这要是肃、楚、豫、魏、越五王镇守的地方屁事儿没有,皇帝亲自镇守的地方丢了半壁江山,怎么和诸王交代？怎么和天下百姓和世家贵族交代？ The King Wu disaster does not give relief, collects the soldier's rations and pay taking advantage of money to you everywhere, border pass that you defend? 吴王灾都不赈,四处借银子给你凑军饷,你就这么守的边关？ If the situation cannot control, the prestige of royal government may not have, the center does not blow the place, will have anything, the civil and military hundred officers cannot think. 如果事态控制不住,朝廷的威信可就全没了,中央镇不住地方,会发生什么,文武百官都不敢想。 At this time is most important, is at the maximum speed, brings back the lost territory, expels Northern Qi. 此时最重要的,便是以最快的速度,拿回失地,把北齐撵出去。 But few days ago, Your Majesty suddenly is now bewildered, assembled the west side the Guanzhong army ; Jiangnan armed rebellion, carried off lots of reserve forces from Western Liaoning Protectorate, goes to Jiangnan. 可前些日子,当今圣上忽然莫名其妙的,把关中军调集到了西侧;江南叛乱,又从辽西都护府拉走了大量后备军,前往江南。 East one western mobilizing soldiers, the middle naturally emptied, judging from the present situation, before Northern Qi projects on Huozhou, the royal government cannot adjust enough reinforcements. 一东一西的调兵,中间自然就空了,就目前情况来看,北齐打到霍州之前,朝廷都调不过去足够的援军。 Facing predicament that such as it comes suddenly, the civil and military hundred officers are at wit's end, focused on Emperor Song Ji body. 面对忽如其来的窘境,文武百官无计可施,都把注意力集中到了天子宋暨身上。 On main hall Imperial Throne, Song Ji expression ancient well without ripples as always, but finger has actually stroked gently gently, the eye is looking at the body side imperial jade seal, faintly visible crazy thunder -like anger. 大殿龙椅上,宋暨表情一如既往的古井无波,不过手指却一直轻轻摩挲,眼睛望着身侧的玉玺,隐隐可见狂雷般的怒意。 Song Ji is very intelligent monarchy, Jiangnan has armed rebellion suddenly, he then has not detected wonderfully, has not provoked again is squeezed to King Wu of limit, but lets Yu and Wei two kings and Western Liaoning Protectorate leads troops to put down a rebellion. 宋暨是很聪明的君主,江南忽然发生叛乱,他便已经察觉不妙,没有再招惹已经被压榨到极限的吴王,而是让豫、魏两王和辽西都护府带兵平叛。 But Song Ji has not truly expected, Ningwu Mountain Pass will break in this case, making him be bogged down in difficulties such. 可宋暨确实没料到,宁武关会在这种情况下破了,让他陷入此等困境。 Now the careful duplicate/restores plate, Song Ji had detected that was not right. 如今仔细复盘,宋暨已经察觉到了不对。 Most starts, the news of imperial jade seal appears in Youzhou suddenly, Xu Buling also at that time, bewildered appearance in Youzhou. 最开始,玉玺的消息忽然出现在幽州,许不令也在那时候,莫名其妙的出现在了幽州。 Song Ji hears this news, suspects Xu Buling to snatch the imperial jade seal inevitably, no matter is really false, can guard. 宋暨听到这个消息,必然怀疑许不令是为了抢玉玺,不管是真是假,都会加以提防。 In order to guard against northwest King Su has no consideration for face, Song Ji will transfer the Guanzhong army to go to the west side. 为了提防西北的肃王撕破脸,宋暨才会调动关中军前往西侧。 Then Jiangnan has armed rebellion suddenly, Song Ji knows that also has other Vassal King to meddle the matter of imperial jade seal, therefore transfers own pro- soldier, goes south to put down a rebellion. 而后江南忽然发生叛乱,宋暨知道还有其他藩王插手玉玺的事儿,所以调动自己的亲兵,南下平叛。 Also selects in this critical time, Northern Qi enters the pass from the middle suddenly, the time was just right, said that no one added fuel to the flames, Song Ji did not believe. 也就是在这个关键时间点,北齐忽然就从中间入了关,时机恰到好处,说没人从中推波助澜,宋暨不信。 But the present key, does not lie in some people of layouts, things have gotten to this point, why the most important thing is explained east one to civil and military royal courtier one western mobilizing soldiers, middle came out spatially? 可现在的关键,不在于是不是有人布局,事已至此,最重要的是给文武朝臣一个解释为什么一东一西的调兵,把中间空出来？ Mobilizes soldiers toward east to put down a rebellion, this can understand. 往东调兵是为了平叛,这个是可以理解。 But mobilizes soldiers toward the west, how explained with the civil and military hundred officer and land under heaven person? 但往西调兵,怎么和文武百官和天下人解释？ Song Ji cannot say that in the hand this imperial jade seal is fake, Youzhou presented the real imperial jade seal, Xu Buling also in Youzhou, therefore mobilizes soldiers against King Su to hit Guanzhong. 宋暨总不能说手上这个玉玺是假的,幽州出现了真玉玺,许不令也在幽州,所以调兵防肃王打关中。 This news said, does not have/leave the matter also to have an accident. 这消息说出去,不出事儿也得出事。 Did not talk about the mobilizing soldiers reason, but the default guards against King Su, is not good. 不说调兵原因,只是默认提防肃王,也不行。 Now King Su is honest, Taiyuan had/left the matter, to guard against Vassal King did not attend to the border pass, your Emperor was not the morbidly suspicious mind is excessive, Gu didn't head attend to the ass? 现在肃王老实着,太原出事儿了,为了提防藩王连边关都不顾,你这皇帝不是疑心病过重、顾头不顾腚嘛？ This is almost a dead end, Song Ji has no way to explain why adjusted the west line suddenly with large army, Ningwu Mountain Pass falls into enemy hands the pot back that and turned back in order to help friendly forces to decide. 这几乎是个死局,宋暨没法解释为什么忽然把重兵调去西线,宁武关失守、回援不及的锅背定了。 Song Ji is stroking gently finger, listened to the government official report/give report tactical situation, silent long time, opened the mouth saying: 宋暨摩挲着手指,听完了官吏禀报的战况,沉默良久,开口道: „Ningwu Mountain Pass arrives in Jinzhong, seven ten thousand troops and horses, even without the reinforcements, can't defend including one day?” “宁武关到晋中,七万兵马,即便没有援军,连一天都守不住？” In main hall completely silent, obviously has no way to answer this issue. 大殿中鸦雀无声,显然没法回答这个问题。 Prime minister Xiao Chuyang, thought slightly, goes forward one step: 宰相萧楚杨,稍微思索了下,上前一步: „The Northern Qi vanguard is a cavalry, when brings forth the end of the year, the army have neglected to be reasonable, must start to assemble the remnants of defeated troops at present to counter-attack.” “北齐先锋全是骑兵,又时逢年关,边军有所疏忽在情理之中,目前应当已经开始集结残部反攻。” New promote highest ranked military officer Guan Hongzhuo, as military officer's head, by Song Ji promote, just the high-rank soon then met such big calamity, can say that by unexpected misfortune, is ironclad is a scapegoat to Emperor. 新晋太尉关鸿卓,作为武官之首,由宋暨一手提拔,刚上位不久便遇上这么大乱子,可以说遭了无妄之灾,铁定得给天子背锅。 However Guan Hongzhuo regarding the army strength, is very confident, at this time thinks, opens the mouth saying: 不过关鸿卓对于边军战力,还是很有信心的,此时想了想,开口道: „Minister Xiao said is extremely, perhaps will soon have the victory report to transmit......” “萧相所言极是,恐怕很快就会有捷报传来……” This type does not have the nutrition to comfort the words of person, at this time said is a little obviously inappropriate. 这种没营养只是安慰人的话,此时说出来显然有点不合适。 Song Ji piled up a lot of anger, is not good to scold wields Xiao Chuyang of hundred officers, regarding promote Guan Hongzhuo, may not have too many politeness personally, the sound brings several points of anger: 宋暨本就积压了一肚子火气,不好骂执掌百官的萧楚杨,对于亲手提拔的关鸿卓,可没有太多的客气,声音带着几分怒意: „Victory report? Jinzhong has lost, Taiyuan Chenghou Road has broken, 30 ten thousand army enter the pass, how Taiyuan city two ten thousand do troops and horses defend? How many reinforcements Luliang cannot take, with dispersing in five ten thousand troops and horses of various mountain passes, but can also the jet braking go back inadequately? At this time can have what victory report......” “捷报？晋中已失,太原城后路已断,三十万大军入关,太原城两万兵马怎么守？吕梁抽不出多少援军,凭着分散在各处关隘的五万兵马,还能反推回去不成？这时候能有什么捷报……” „Reported victory report” “报捷报” The speech that Song Ji is in a towering rage, outside the main hall suddenly has couriers at the gallop to catch up, in the hand is lifting the mailbox. 宋暨正怒气冲天的说话,大殿外忽然有驿使飞马赶来,手中举着信筒。 The wartime toward will not dismiss, the custom that in the palace cannot ride a horse naturally did not have. 战时连朝会都不解散,宫中不能骑马的规矩自然也没了。 The civil and military hundred officers are waiting for Song Ji to vent the resentment, suddenly hears one ‚victory report’, gave was shocked. 文武百官正等着宋暨发泄怨气,忽然听见一句‘捷报’,都给了愣住了。 Emperor just said does not have the victory report, you announced success at the scene, wants to pull out the face of Emperor to be inadequate? 天子刚说没捷报,你当场就报捷,是想抽天子的脸不成？ Guan Hongzhuo lowered the head is scolded honestly, hears „victory report!” Staggers, entire was ignorant. He follows the Xiao Chuyang words, urged Emperor, how did the victory report also really come? 关鸿卓本来低头老实挨骂,听见“捷报！”一个趔趄,都给整懵了。他只是顺着萧楚杨的话,劝劝天子罢了,怎么捷报还真来了？ Eyeful anger Song Ji, but also is extending finger, hears sound words, has almost not choked, the expression changed instantaneously several, is mental perfect, has not stood to curse at people. 满眼怒火的宋暨,还伸着手指,听见声响话语一顿,差点没噎死,表情瞬间变了好几下,也是心智过硬,才没站起来骂人。 However, now the military situation is urgent, what since passes on is the victory report, that also has nothing disgraced. 不过,现在军情紧急,既然传回来的是捷报,那也没什么丢人的。 If pulled out the mouth at the scene, can hear the border pass major success, Song Ji looks forward to Guan Hongzhuo to pull out his several again, levelled this mess quickly. 若是当场被抽嘴巴,就能听到边关大捷,宋暨巴不得关鸿卓再抽他几下,把这烂摊子赶快摆平了。 After the civil and military hundred officers recover, turns the head to look that hastily to messenger who flushed, the look is very earnest. 文武百官回过神来后,连忙转头看向了冲进来的信使,眼神都很热切。 After all from last night to the present, heard was sad report, Northern Qi with irresistible force, listens to be despondent again. At this time although was unlikely to have any big victory report, but can counter-attack villages, calculates that filled people with enthusiasm is not. 毕竟从昨晚到现在,听到的都是悲报,北齐势如破竹,再听就得抑郁了。这时候虽然不太可能有什么大的捷报,但能反攻回来一个乡镇,也算振奋人心不是。 Song Ji restored the tranquil look, lifts the hand: „Said!” 宋暨恢复了平静神色,抬起手来:“说！” The couriers are lifting the cylinder, runs up to hundred officer center rapidly, bright sound said: 驿使举着圆筒,飞速跑到百官中央,朗声道: „The Luliang incoming telegram , King Su Heir Apparent Xu Buling, enlisted in the military Chen Da and 200 light cavalries with Qingxu County Si soldier/weapon yesterday afternoon, rushes to Taiyuan to assist......” “吕梁来报,昨日下午时分,肃王世子许不令,携清徐县司兵参军陈达及两百轻骑,赶往太原协防……” Voice, in the main hall resounds noisy. 话音一出,大殿中响起一阵嘈杂。 The civil and military hundred officers are bewildered: 文武百官都是莫名其妙: „King Su Heir Apparent how in Taiyuan?” “肃王世子怎么会在太原？” „What assists, has 200 people are being to definitely go to the Taiyuan city seeks asylum......” “什么协防,带着两百人肯定是去太原城避难……” „Was difficult to be inadequate King Su Heir Apparent to be captured alive by Northern Qi? This may should do......” “难不成肃王世子被北齐活捉了？这可如何是好……” Song Ji also froze, but Xu Buling was captured alive by Northern Qi, that called the sad news, was impossible to announce success. 宋暨也愣了下,不过许不令被北齐活捉,那叫噩耗,不可能报捷。 The civil and military hundred officers talked at once several, remembered this is the victory report, secretly thought: Can it be that does Xu Buling have 200 people successfully to break through? That also truly calculates the victory report, was at least seized...... 文武百官七嘴八舌说了几句,也才想起这是捷报,暗道:莫不是许不令带两百人成功突围？那也确实算捷报,至少被捉了强…… „Continued, Xu Buling can rush to the Taiyuan city?” “继续说,许不令可赶到了太原城？” The couriers wait hundred officers to be peaceful , to continue saying: 驿使待百官安静下来,继续道: „King Su Heir Apparent Xu Buling, rushes to Taiyuan to assist with 200 light cavalries, nearby wolf Gou Village, runs upon 10,000 vanguard essences that Northern Qi Right Side Prince Heir Apparent leads to ride......” “肃王世子许不令,携两百轻骑赶往太原协防,于狼沟村附近,撞上北齐右亲王世子所率的一万先锋精骑……” „Hiss” “嘶” Hears this saying, the civil and military hundred officers pulled out a cold air, the look is panic-stricken. 听见这话,文武百官都抽了口凉气,眼神惊恐。 Do 200 people run upon 10,000 elite vanguard army? 两百人撞上一万精锐先锋军？ This breaks through! 这突围个屁啊！ Difficult to be inadequate the Xu Buling dying in battle battlefield? 难不成许不令战死沙场？ This good news, King Su to lose a child actually, definitely explodes plants to damage the Northern Qi left wing, the east line pressure reduces greatly. 这倒是个好消息,肃王丧子,肯定爆种去祸害北齐左翼,东线压力大减。 But this definitely cannot shout the victory report visibly, should be sad Baocai right...... 可这肯定不能明着叫捷报,该是悲报才对…… Song Ji is also bewildered, strokes the sleeve lightly, depressed talking in whispers of whole body of ministers: 宋暨也是莫名其妙,轻拂袖子,压下了群臣的窃窃私语: „What's wrong? Can Xu Buling escape?” “如何？许不令可逃回来了？” The couriers nod earnestly: „King Su Heir Apparent runs upon the Northern Qi vanguard army, changes course to turn back, was detected by Qi Army, Qi Army sends the essence to ride 400 pursuit......” 驿使认真点头:“肃王世子撞上北齐先锋军,改道折返,被齐军察觉,齐军派精骑四百追击……” „This is not delivers......” “这不是送吗……”
