Chapter 210: Dreaming of Xiaoxiang
A round waist and broad shoulders do not mean that there is no doubt about victory. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Tian Yuan has been alone in Suzhou for many years, although he can't be proficient in swords, halberds, hooks, and yue, but it is more than enough to deal with this kind of fierce man with developed limbs. However, the kung fu of three or two moves has cut it off the horse. He proudly stood on the spacious plain between the two armies with the reins in his hand, and shouted to the Southern Chu camp, "Is there anyone else who wants to compete?" ”
Those people were not firm in their faith, and when they saw this, they fled, and once the morale of the army was disturbed, several cities were destroyed.
Although Ganzhou is a long way from Jinling, if morale is low, it will only be a matter of time to attack Jinling. Chu Xiuze, who was sitting in the rear of the imperial city Zhengyang Palace, was naturally furious when he heard the military report, but it was difficult for one person to care about both ends. Looking at the government and the opposition, he has no people who have a heart, if the people who were sent to the border of Jiangxi and Hunan to command the troops betrayed him, then Nanchu would have no way to retreat.
This incident made him extremely upset, so he had to put the military administration aside and run to the Yinghua Palace. Su Wan learned about the situation outside through Su Su early in the morning, and then looked at his expression, as if he was unintentional, "Your Majesty is in a bad mood?" ”
Chu Xiuze looked down at the Qianqian jade hand holding the gilded high-necked wine jug, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it as white and tender as porcelain and delicate as silk. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Su Wanqing coldly, and that sharp gaze made her feel weak for no reason, "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”
"Alone... What a lonely man! ”
He sighed and left without saying anything. Su Wanqing knew that he didn't have anyone he trusted, but this situation was not without reason. The hometown of Jiangnan was stable for ten years under the rule of the Xia Dynasty, and the people had long been inclined to live in seclusion. Although Chu Xiuze rebuilt the Southern Chu regime with genius and established the Southern Chu court in the shortest possible time, he also had to clearly understand the reality, too many of them were living in flames, and they were afraid that authority would fall to them.
Those people are now looking at the situation and making a choice, if the Xia army can't cross the river, this group of courtiers will be attached to the Southern Chu court. If the situation is unclear and Great Xia is invincible, they will rebel again in the shortest possible time.
"Imperial concubine, it's time for you to drink medicine."
Su Wanqing's thoughts were pulled back, and she looked sideways, and there was another bowl of thick black medicine.
The bitter liquid runs down her throat, and Su Wanqing can't help but think of Rarity who was sent away in a hurry. From pregnancy to childbirth, she suddenly had a dream. And now, whenever she thinks of the child who is far away, she can't help but feel sour in her heart, and she doesn't know if she will be able to see her own flesh and blood again in her lifetime.
Walking back to the dormitory alone, Su Wanqing sat on the low couch, and there were still yarn bandages and various silk threads in the bamboo drawer under the south window, but because of Chu Xiuze, she could only embroider some flowers and plants, and she didn't dare to embroider anything for children, thinking of these, she felt cowardly and incompetent.
The two armies faced each other, and the war was stalemate. Also in the evening of this day, Kang Bicheng hurriedly went to the Yinghua Palace to read the will. What she didn't expect was that Chu Xiuze didn't plan to detain her anymore, and took the initiative to send a secret guard to send her to Pulan Temple.
She was naturally overjoyed to be able to break free from the shackles of the palace, but she still pretended to ask Gonggong Kang, "Why did Your Majesty suddenly make such a will?" ”
Gonggong Kang seemed a little anxious, and replied perfunctorily, "The holy will cannot be guessed. ”
"What about Your Majesty and the others? Still busy with political affairs in Zhengyang Palace? Actually, she was still a little worried that Chu Xiuze was just impulsive. Moreover, she wanted to know what he thought, at such a critical juncture, he was not worried that Yu Wenche's people would rob him?
Kang Bicheng sighed, "After Your Majesty returned to Zhengyang Palace, he discussed with the generals and decided to go to the land of Ganxiang to command the military in order to consolidate the territory. Now, it's out of Jinling City! ”
"What!"
When Su Wanqing heard that Chu Xiuze had left Jinling, an indescribable feeling suddenly surged in his heart. He was proficient in the art of war, and it was surprising that he had made such a decision at this time.
Although the situation in Ganzhou is critical, and the Great Xia Shu army may approach Jinling, there is always hope for sending generals to resist for a while. As the lord of a country, he should be in Jinling, and besides, Yu Wenche is in Yangzhou. He is so sure that he can stop Yuwen Che's Flying Tiger Army?
With a feeling of trepidation, she still set foot on the road to Pulan Temple. Out of the imperial court, she is no longer under surveillance. Although the dark guard and Shi Zhou and others followed her, it was not difficult to pass on some news.
The news of her leaving the palace soon spread to the Yangzhou military camp, and even though Chu Qingdang stood up and asked to cross the river to rescue her, she was denied by Yu Wenche.
Chu Xiuze is quite scheming, it is impossible for him not to know what the consequences of leaving Jinling will be, so he must have a mystery when he takes the initiative to send Wan'er to Pulan Temple. You can't be reckless now, even if you send a top master over, you may not be able to take her away. I will take her away openly! Besides, I'm curious about what kind of medicine Chu Xiuze's gourd is selling now! ”
"However, the Jinling military camp does not have a backbone, and the scene of our army's defeat and retreat has been done enough, why not take this opportunity to cross the river in one fell swoop. With Chu Jun's slackness now, they are only afraid that the knife will be on their necks, and they don't know what happened yet! ”
I don't know who came up with such arrogant remarks, Yuwen Che frowned unhappily and said, "I think that Chu Xiuze is afraid that he hasn't left Jinling at all!" ”
"Didn't leave Jinling?" The people in the tent were silent, puzzled and incredulous.
The emperor didn't explain, but looked at the battle map hanging in front of him and asked, "Zhou Ying, they have already arrived at the junction of Ganxiang and Hunan?" ”
"Exactly, a full five days ahead of schedule."
Yu Wenche held the Ancient Xuan Sword in his hand, and looked at the red city marked on the dark and yellowed map in front of him for a long time, "I have no intention of spending it with Chu Xiuze anymore, so let Zhou Ying Feige pass a book, plan ahead!" Stand down, all of you! ”
"Yes!"
The generals retreated one after another, and the imperial camp returned quietly. Yu Wenche walked lightly to the couch behind the screen, took out a purse under the pillow, and looked at it for a long time.
"I'm not completely sure about this battle. It's just that I can't watch you in dire straits anymore, Wan'er, Chu Xiuze used you to lure me into the bait, but I am the fish who is extremely happy. ”
He clenched the saber he was carrying at his waist again, "I hope that in three days, everything will go well." ”
Xia Jun no longer took the initiative to attack, which meant that something was going to happen. The officers and men in the barracks on both sides of the strait can more or less feel some signs, and they have all stepped up their training and do not dare to take it lightly.
Three days later, in the early morning, the golden crow rose high, and the river surface was stable and wave-free. As soon as the Great Xia military ship set sail, the opposite shore was clearly visible, and a decisive battle was just around the corner.
