Chapter Seventy-Three

After Mu Shidian gave Liu Qiang a follow-up examination, he left the Chengguang Palace and came to the West Palace. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Yin Lihua didn't expect Dendrobium to come to the West Palace, and heard the palace people tell her that Dendrobium was ordered by Liu Xiu to ask her for peace, and she asked the palace people to bring Dendrobium in.

Dendrobium Mu gave Yin Lihua a pulse diagnosis, but fortunately everything was fine.

Yin Lihua knew about Dendrobium Mu Shi's leave some time ago to return to her hometown to serve her sick parents, and then she couldn't help asking: "Are Ling Zun and Ling Tang okay today?" ”

When Dendrobium was asked by Yin Lihua, she couldn't help but be a little surprised. Not long ago, his parents, who were not accustomed to living in the imperial capital and chose their former residence, wrote to say that they were both sick and asked him to return quickly. He believed it at the time and hurriedly took leave to return, but when he returned to the house, he knew that his parents were actually fine, but he wanted to trick him into going back to see the girl they were looking for and marrying him. Since he had gone back, and he had always been filial, how could he be disobedient, he looked at each other seriously, and finally settled on a family. He wouldn't say this to Yin Lihua, he just replied: "Thank you, you are worried, your parents are all right today." ”

Yin Lihua suddenly remembered her Yin Deng clan, who was thousands of miles away, and she was suddenly very worried in her heart. Thinking of the Yin Deng family, I couldn't help but think of the Yin Zhi who was fighting outside and the Yin Xing who followed Liu Xiu's side, as well as the Yin Qi who entered the office, and thought that as a child, I was not filial piety by the Yin Deng family, and my heart was full of guilt, she asked Dendrobium Mu: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been in a dilemma, has Doctor Mu ever been embarrassed by this?" ”

Although Mu Shihua was a little surprised by Yin Lihua's question, he had always believed in Yin Lihua, thought about it seriously, and replied, "No." Wechen has always remembered his father's words, he once said to Wechen: "Loyalty is also filial piety." Wechen has always put His Majesty first, presumably this is also what my father wants, but I can't serve my parents, Wechen does have regrets. ”

Yin Lihua was speechless for a while. After a long time, she said: "Why might as well Doctor Mu marry a wife and have children as soon as possible to accompany Ling Zun and Ling Tang on your behalf." ”

Dendrobium quietly raised her eyes to look at Yin Lihua for this reason, then lowered her eyes and responded: "Don't hide it, my parents have already set up a marriage for Weichen, and they will marry soon." ”

When Yin Lihua heard this, she was pleasantly surprised, and she said, "Then I would like to congratulate Imperial Doctor Mu first." ”

Dendrobium Mu thanked himself, "Thank you." "It's enough to talk for a while, even if you are reluctant, it's time to leave, after all, Liu Xiu is still waiting for him to reply. Before leaving, he didn't forget to remind Yin Lihua of something.

Watching Dendrobium Mu leave, Yin Lihua sighed: "Imperial Doctor Mu can be a beloved, but it's a pity that the eldest sister doesn't like it." ”

Yin Lihua didn't see the affection of Dendrobium wood, but Mama Liu's essence was clear, she heard Yin Lihua say this, she couldn't help but laugh, she said: "Marriage has its own providence, love can't be forced." ”

When Yin Lihua heard this, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought. If the marriage is really providential, does it mean that God is destined for her to tie the knot with Liu Xiu, so even if there is no Ou Hanxiang to get in the way, she and Deng Yu will not be able to be together?

After Liu Qiang was murdered by Yu Meiren, Liu Xiu wanted Chang'an to discuss with the generals to crusade against Gongsun Shu. Before leaving, he informed Yin Lihua of his plans and asked Yin Lihua: "Do you want to go with you?" ”

Yin Lihua knew that even if she could accompany her, the three children of King Liu Yi, Liu Yang and Liu Cang would not be able to accompany them together, and she couldn't rest assured that she would stay in the palace, so she replied: "The concubine wants to stay and take care of King Yi. ”

Liu Xiu actually wanted to let Yin Lihua stay, not to let Yin Lihua take care of Liu Yiwang, Liu Yang and Liu Cang, but after Liu Qiang's poisoning, he deeply realized that he could not protect Yin Lihua and his children, and he left the palace from time to time, so after all, Yin Lihua himself had the ability to protect himself and protect his children, and now he could only let Yin Lihua learn to be strong as soon as possible. However, he still handed over the final decision to Yin Lihua, and Yin Lihua's answer did not surprise him, but he pretended to be lost and quipped: "It turns out that I can't compare to the righteous kings." ”

Yin Lihua laughed.

Liu Xiu looked at Yin Lihua's dazzling smile, slowly took off her pretense, and said to Yin Lihua with a straight face: "I really want to protect you, but I have to admit that I am incompetent here, so you must have the ability to protect yourself and protect the righteous king." ”

Yin Lihua didn't expect Liu Xiu to suddenly say such serious words, it seems that Liu Qiang's murder had a big impact on Liu Xiu. Yin Lihua was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Isn't Uncle Wen afraid that the concubine will be greedy after she has the ability?" ”

Liu Xiu smiled at this and replied decisively: "I believe in you as I believe in myself." Even if you are greedy one day, I will be satisfied. In this world, as long as you want, I can give you everything. ”

Yin Lihua wanted to pour out the words hidden in her heart at this time, but fortunately, she held back sensibly in the end, and she said to Liu Xiu: "Uncle Wen is really good to the concubine. The concubine will definitely not disappoint Uncle Wen. ”

So, Liu Xiu really left Yin Lihua and Liu Yiwang and others in Luoyang and sent Chang'an, before leaving, he sent to Longxi to say Kui Huan: borrow the road to Tianshui, and cut down Shu together.

Liu Xiu went to Guigong to meet with the generals to discuss the matter of attacking Gongsun Shu from Tianshui.

Sai Zun said: "Kui is arrogant and treacherous, and Shu is shocked to increase its preparations, and it is difficult to take it, so it is better to advance quickly and catch it off guard." ”

The generals agreed with what the priest said.

So Liu Xiu took the sacrifice as the first step, and the army set off from Guangyang City on a certain day.

Sai Zun, Geng Yi, Gai Yan, Ma Wu, Wang Chang, Liu Xin and others were ordered to go straight to Longxi, and met Lai She on the way, and learned that Kui Huan resisted the king's order and rushed forward.

Entering the boundary of Xinguan Land, but seeing the undulating mountains and rugged roads. Walking to Longdi, the road is blocked by wood and stones, and it becomes more and more difficult to walk. The generals suspected that there was an ambush and were on guard, but there was no change for a long time. Gaiyan immediately ordered: clear the obstacles and continue the march. So the front team moved the boulder, and the back team moved with the cart. As a result, the sheep intestines are steep, the strange rocks are craggy, the soldiers are not in a team, and the horses are not in a column. I only listen to the wind blowing and roaring, and the ape and tiger roaring, which makes people palpitate.

Just as the Han army was panting and marching with difficulty, suddenly, cymbals and drums sounded in unison and shouted loudly. I saw the general Wang Yuan holding Changge and waving his army to kill the Han army.

At that time, the Han army was already sleepy and lacking in people, and it was in a trough and dangerous road, with no time and no geographical advantages, so the Han army could not cope with the battle and was defeated in a hurry. Most of the front team were killed, and those who escaped with their lives crashed into the rear team, trampling on each other, and there were countless casualties at one time.

Kui Huan personally led the army to pounce, Geng Yi and Gai Yan opened the way, and fought and retreated. After Ma Wu was in charge of the break, he saw that Kui Huan and Wang Yuan were approaching step by step, and he couldn't help but rush to the crown angrily, he shouted, turned the horse's head, supervised the warriors, and fought back desperately. In an instant, a large number of soldiers in Longxi fell. At this moment, the first priest Zun also turned around and killed from behind Wang Yuan to save the Han army.

Seeing this, Kui Huan was afraid of losing something, so he hurriedly withdrew his troops, and the Han army was able to retreat to Longxia.

As soon as Liu Xiu returned to Luoyang, he heard the news that Kui had rebelled and the generals had been defeated, and urgently ordered Geng Yitun to soldiers in Huangcheng, Feng Yitun to soldiers in Mu Xunyi, and Wu Hantun to soldiers in Chang'an.

Kui Huan won the victory, so that the general Wang Yuan and Xing Patrol, led the troops to attack Chang'an Sanfu. Out of Longyou, I saw that the palace was majestic and magnificent, and the ambition to occupy the Central Plains became more and more breeding. Then, he ordered Wang Yuan and the patrol troops to divide into two routes, one way to take Huangcheng and the other to Muxunyi. However, Xingxun had just won Mu Xunyi and was recaptured by Feng Yi, and Wang Yuan was also defeated by the sacrifice in Huangcheng. Wang Yuan and Xingxun suffered a defeat, and they did not dare to compete with the Han army for a while, and the two armies held each other. At this time, Ma Yuan, who was in the forest garden in Tuntian, suddenly wrote to Liu Xiu and said: "If you are not a minister, you are really a minister." The minister was the first to say goodbye, Kui Huan and Wei Chen made an appointment, sincere to the man, with the son as the hostage, but Kui Huan repeatedly did this, abandoning the son and abandoning the minister. Wechen is willing to offer a plan to break the hustle and bustle and get rid of the captives. Ma Yuan came to Luoyang with Kui Huan, and has always been in contact with Kui Huan, and learned that Kui Huan wanted to use Wang Yuan's strategy, so he had written several times to admonish, but Kui Huan thought that he had rebelled, so he whipped the messenger. Ma Yuan saw that Kui Huan was so obsessed and unreasonable, and after careful consideration, he decided to surrender to Liu Xiu, the master.

Liu Xiuzheng was thinking hard about this, and he was overjoyed when he saw Ma Yuan's performance. Immediately summoned Ma Yuan and talked to him.

Ma Yuan offered a plan to first cut the wings of Kui Huan, then attack the heart, and finally destroy Kui Huan.

After hearing this, Liu Xiu felt very good, and had no objection to this, and immediately decided to give 5,000 horses to aid.

Ma Yuan's heart was agitated by Liu Xiu's trust, he hesitated for a moment, and finally said his request. He said that he left this time, and there were only weak wives and daughters in the house, and he couldn't rest assured, so he asked to be sent to the palace to be sheltered by Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu took a deep look at Ma Yuan for this, and then the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and finally responded.
