Chapter 199: Thrilling Night
Returning to the Qi army camp, after identification, this woman is the Empress Dowager Fu of the Patriotic State, and the gold box in her arms contains the seal of the Patriotic Monarchy and the military talisman. Seeing that she had not woken up, Zhao Yuan, www.biquge.info the pen and fun pavilion, asked the medical officer to take her to a quiet tent for careful care.
At this time, the Qi State in Guze City used the method of flying pigeons to pass the book to bring out the news.
It turned out that Empress Dowager Fu ordered 100,000 elite soldiers to be reinforced on the north and south lines of the defense of the country to attack the Qi army camp after nightfall to rescue Wei Wen. However, this proposal was immediately opposed by Fu Long, Fu Hu and Liu Hao, who came with troops.
They believe that the most important thing at present is to try to ensure that the border is not lost, because once it is torn open by the Qi army, with its fierce style, it will be difficult to stop, and the consequences will be unimaginable, so they should immediately return to reinforce the north and south fronts.
As for Wei Wen, as a monarch, he should sacrifice for the country, and then select a good talent from the clan to become the monarch.
Empress Dowager Fu resolutely disagreed with such a proposal, and asked them to immediately send troops to rescue Wei Wen, and even threatened to exterminate the nine clans if they violated the order. In this case, the situation developed in a direction that no one expected, and the Fu brothers and Liu Hao abandoned their previous suspicions, reached an alliance, and launched a mutiny to put the Empress Dowager Fu under house arrest, and Liu Hao exercised command on his behalf.
With the character of the Empress Dowager Fu, how could she be obedient? She didn't say a word, put on her armor herself, and led the forbidden army to rush out of the city. How did they encounter a strong resistance, and the forbidden army and Liu Hao's troops fought in the city.
In the end, due to being outnumbered, the forbidden army was strangled to only a few thousand people, and it was desperate to protect Empress Dowager Fu from the city.
After listening to the report, Zhao Yuan had already considered the situation in front of him. He ordered people to go back to Huaiyang to pass the order to close all the borders with the Lu State, and the troops slowly assembled to the border of the Lu State, not to attack, as long as they were cut off from the outside world for a short time.
At this time, the medical officer in the battalion came to report that Empress Dowager Fu had woken up and was clamoring to see Wei Wen.
Zhao Yuan nodded: "This empress dowager has lost everything for the emperor and grandson, and now it is normal for people to be in a hurry to see him." So he ordered that she and Wei Wen be brought to the tent.
Wei Wen and Empress Dowager Fu met in the tent, both of them crossed life and death, and they looked at each other for a while, mixed with joy and sorrow, hugging their heads and crying.
Zhao Yuan saw them crying below, sad and sad, and his true feelings were revealed. However, Zhao Yuan watched coldly, and from the subtleties of his expression and movements, it could be seen that their relationship was not as simple as that between the Empress Dowager and the monarch.
This can also explain why Empress Dowager Fu did not hesitate to risk the loss of the north and south lines, and even turned against her siblings to save Wei Wen.
Zhao Yuan looked at them, and there was a hint of coldness in the corners of his eyes. After many years of being mixed in the palace curtains, Zhao Yuan has long been surprised by this.
After the Empress Dowager Fu cried for a while, she cleaned up her expression and said to Zhao Yuandao, "Today, the mourning family has come to surrender as promised, can Emperor Xiaoya keep his word and let Weiwen live?" ”
Zhao Yuan said lightly: "What I want is the surrender of Guze City, not you personally. Now, you have lost control of Guze City, how can you be considered as promised? ”
Empress Dowager Fu asked angrily: "The traitors in the city have been hit hard, and the city can be broken in a few days, does Emperor Xiaoya want to break his word in the world?" ”
Before Zhao Yuan could speak, Wei Wen pulled the Empress Dowager Fu behind him and said: "The tradition of Qi is that after the city is broken, the royal family in the city will be killed. ”
"The imperial grandmother took pity on me when I was young, and she was eager to save me, so she came in danger. When Guze City was broken, I only begged for death, but I asked the Emperor of Qi to spare the imperial grandmother and let her live. ”
"She's just a woman, she's betrayed her relatives for me, and she poses no threat to Qi Guo." After speaking, he turned his head and took a deep look at the Empress Dowager Fu: "She entered the palace at the age of fifteen, with several ups and downs, and her life hung by a thread many times. Years of court life have exhausted her, and now that she has escaped, she will ask Emperor Xiaoya to let her into the people and live the life she wants. ”
After saying that, Wei Wen respectfully made a courtesy to Zhao Yuan.
The capture has come, Wei Wen has never given such a big gift to Zhao Yuan, Zhao Yuan saw this, there was a hesitant look in his eyes, although it was only for a moment, but it had been discovered by Fuyue, who was standing next to him.
He thought to himself: "My father has occasionally shown a soft heart recently, and it is not as good as the previous killing, which is really worrying. ”
Not to mention the battlefield in front of you, every day is a life-and-death battle, let's just say that the undercurrent surging forces in Luoyang City must be faced ruthlessly, otherwise it will be very dangerous not only for Zhao Yuan, but also for them under his wing.
Moreover, Wei Wen and Empress Dowager Fu broke with Wei Guo for their own personal feelings, and now they are hated by Wei Guo to the bone.
Even if he lets them go today and leaves the Daqi military camp safely, if he is captured by the Weiguo clan one day, he will definitely be tortured and die without a body.
Thinking of this, Fu Yue leaned forward and was just about to speak. The hesitant look in Zhao Yuan's eyes had been swept away, and he said to Wei Wen: "Now that both of you are injured, taking care of your body right now is the most important thing." ”
Then he turned his head to the Queen Mother and said: "Since the Queen Mother said that Guze City will be broken in a few days, then ask the Queen Mother to write a letter of persuasion to your brother and Liu Hao, and you will finally help me break the city." When Empress Dowager Fu heard this, she looked at the weak Wei Wen beside her, and had to nod her head in agreement.
Zhao Yuan ordered the medical officer to take the two out for good treatment.
When Fuyue saw this scene, he didn't say anything more and stepped aside.
After a while, the letter of persuasion of the Empress Dowager Fu had been submitted, and Zhao Yuan ordered people to imitate her handwriting and write three letters, the content of which was exactly the same: after nightfall, the city was already a red light, kill it, take the city, and put all the responsibility on him. After writing, he ordered arrows to be shot into the south, north, and east walls.
Then, Zhao Yuan ordered people to send a message to the city, asking them to prepare a hundred red lights, and light them near the granary and armory after nightfall.
Then Zhao Yuan passed Fang Taiyan into the tent and ordered him to start a feint attack on the east gate of Guze City half an hour later after the red light was turned on in the city, and then turned to the north and south gates, and continued to feint, without an order, it must not be stopped. Fang Taiyan had to be ordered.
After making the arrangements, Zhao Yuan opened the map of Yiguo in his hand and began to watch.
This night, Wei Ying had nothing to say.
Early the next morning, Fang Taiyan came to reply, saying that last night in Guze City, the Fu brothers and Liu Hao received three identical letters of persuasion, but because the three of them did not trust each other, no one made it public at this time.
So they each made a small calculation, and secretly mobilized their troops and horses according to the prompts in the persuasion letter. But the three of them were already on their own guard, and now they are secretly acting, and they have already passed on the situation to them.
In this way, the three of them believed even more in the words in the letter of persuasion of Empress Dowager Fu. In addition, Qi Guo's fine work lit a red light in the city, which made the three of them mistakenly think that the other party had started to move, so they couldn't wait to start an infighting in Guze City.
