Chapter 672: The Wind Rises
Seeing this, Lan Xi's heart couldn't help but sink, and he had some bad premonitions, frowning and asking, "What's wrong?" ”
Zhao Yu ...... Nature doesn't go alone. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn addition to his loyal guards, he also took your uncle with him. Geng Xiwu didn't want to hide it from her, but since she asked, he stopped hiding it.
"Uncle?" Lan Xi was stunned, shocked and anxious, "Uncle, how could he?" Didn't he tell you a good ...... earlier" As soon as the words fell, her heart moved, and the rest of the words swallowed into her belly, she looked at him suspiciously for a moment, and saw that his expression had returned to normal at this time, and there was nothing to worry about, so she quietly put her hanging heart back slowly, and asked with a relaxed expression, "That Fu Fu ......"
"It's already surrounded by the Praetorian Guard. But don't worry, I've already made it clear that my grandmother won't suffer. "It's just that I'm scared, but it's inevitable, but with Fu Xiuyun here, the family, after all, still has the backbone, so it won't be completely messed up. Moreover, in Geng Xiwu's opinion, the old lady of the Fu family is not simple, as long as she is there, the Fu family will not be in chaos.
"Then the saint is over there......" Lan Xi is still not worried.
"Don't worry, although the saint is a few years old, he will not be confused in major matters. Now, he knows the importance of the Fu family in Pingcheng, and the Fu family is safe for the time being. As for the rest, you have to trust your uncle too. Geng Xiwu shook her slightly cool hand and whispered comfortingly. At this time, she should have been allowed to raise the fetus with peace of mind, but who would have thought that this day would have changed. Things are happening one after another, and this is just the beginning, and the storm will soon sweep in. A place of peace of mind, I am afraid that it no longer exists. It's just that, fortunately, no matter what, his A-Qing is a strong and brave girl, and fortunately, he will always be by her side.
On the eighth day of the winter month, Lan Xi's first birthday after marrying into the Jingbei Hou Mansion, because of the noisy atmosphere outside, she lived a very low-key and dull life, however, because of Geng Xiwu by her side, Lan Xi felt very happy, not to mention, she knew very well how rare the current blandness was, and it would not be long before it was broken.
Sure enough, only ten days after her birthday, on the twentieth day of the winter month, King Ping in Pingcheng under the banner of faint king's injustice, heaven sent a great punishment, for the people, for the banner of the way of heaven, raised an army against him.
In that heavy snowfall, it was not only the capital that was affected, but also the surrounding northlands, almost all of whom were spared. Due to the heavy snow, the road is inconvenient, and the transmission of the disaster is already a little late, and the imperial court is busy relieving the surrounding areas of the capital, and it is already lacking in skills, and the response is slower. Frozen to death, starved to death, countless. And King Ping used this as an excuse, saying that it was because of the injustice of the faint king, so God punished him with a disaster, and warned everyone with the will of heaven.
Timing, well grasped. Of course, if there is no Zhao Yu, a person who has insight into the opportunity, I am afraid that King Ping will not be able to grasp the opportunity so well.
Lan Xi's earlier uneasiness was confirmed one by one. Sure enough, when King Ping noticed Emperor Zhenwu's vigilance, coupled with Zhao Yu's encouragement, he directly advanced the rebellion that was supposed to be ten years later to the present.
Daqing, it's messy.
Although the imperial court said that it had been prepared after Zhao Yu's disappearance, after all, it was more than half a month later than King Ping's side. Therefore, when the news of King Ping's rebellion reached back to Beijing, Emperor Zhenwu immediately summoned his ministers to discuss. However, the hearts of the people were not aligned, and they discussed for a long time, each holding their own opinions, until two days later, it was decided to let King An lead his troops to meet the enemy. When King An ordered his troops and finally left the capital, King Ping had already captured two cities in a row, all the way to the outside of Jingzhou.
Jingzhou guarded the city gate tightly, and guarded Jingzhou City with the danger of the Jing River. Although the Jing River was frozen, the ice was not thick, and there were no horses, let alone an army, so King Ping had to station troops on the opposite bank to confront the army of the imperial court.
On the seventh day of the lunar month, the 150,000 troops led by King An finally arrived in Jingzhou City.
Xu was worried about the 150,000 army led by King An, and King Ping still sent troops to try to attack the city from time to time at first, but after King An arrived, he suddenly died down.
King An couldn't help but be very proud, in the middle of the court, King Yanping was as timid as a mouse, afraid of the majesty of the saint, afraid of the iron army of the court, and did not dare to act rashly, it only took time to defeat it, not to be afraid. The two armies confronted each other on both sides of the Jing River, but they did not move for a while.
On the twentieth day of the lunar month, the border pass of the king of Beijun was sent to the capital by a fast horse. It turned out that it was Beidi who took the opportunity of King Ping's rebellion to wave his troops south. Since the Marquis of Jingbei resigned from illness, Emperor Zhenwu did not send another general to guard the Beiguan, but let the king of Beijun supervise it on his behalf. But I didn't want to, and something happened in the blink of an eye.
Beiguan since Jingbei Hou garrison, has been peaceful, Beiguan defenders are mostly Geng family cronies, now Beiguan is in an emergency, Lanxi is still uneasy, when asked, but see Geng Xiwu is not anxious, there is no surprise on his face, can't help but be very suspicious.
"Can the controversy come to fruition today? The Holy One wouldn't really want his father to go into battle with illness, would he? There are also a lot of generals in this court, why does the saint prefer his father? Although Jingbei Hou's "illness" is mostly pretended, it is not completely pretended, he himself is full of pain, he used to just endure it and didn't say it, but now, being diagnosed and treated by the imperial doctors in turn, it can't deceive people.
"If the enemy is defeated in the north, it will inevitably affect the battle situation in the south, and the saint naturally has to be cautious. Although there are many generals in the DPRK and China, only his father really knows everything about Beiguan. "Geng Xiwu is very clear about Emperor Zhenwu's thoughts, but it's a pity that this time the Marquis of Jingbei will disappoint the saint no matter what." Also, some people in the court are still advocating peace, so the saint is still hesitating. Geng Xiwu said, a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.
Lan Xihu frowned suspiciously, "Do you think it's impossible to make peace?" ”
"Beidi just disturbed the border at this time, don't you think it's strange?" Geng Xiwu raised his eyebrows.
"This year, there is heavy snow in the north, and our Daqing has suffered a disaster, but I am afraid that Beidi will be even worse. I have heard before, Beidi people rely on cattle and sheep for a living, such weather, I am afraid that a lot of cattle and sheep freeze to death, if they have no food, in order to survive, it is not impossible to fight our Daqing idea! Lan Xi really doesn't know much about these, so he can only rely on common sense to analyze them.
The corners of Geng Xiwu's mouth turned up, and he snorted lightly, "The timing is just right, it's too coincidental, besides, if they are just to survive, they can grab the nearby villages, why bother to gnaw on the iron plate of Beiguan?" Even if his father is not there, he brought out the entire Beiguan sergeants, even if the Beidi army has always been fierce, but it is not easy to bargain in the hands of the Beiguan army. Moreover, in the battle report I received privately, the Beidi army was mostly provocative, but it was not a head-to-head confrontation, why do you think it is? ”
