Chapter 472: Crossing the River and Demolishing the Bridge
Sometimes, people make the same mistake twice, not because they don't remember it for a long time, but because they are forced by the situation. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Chuwen rushed to the outside of the room of the county lord of Lanling, saw Li En and Kuang Anran, and tactfully expressed the meaning of Concubine Xiao to him, Li En naturally understood, so he responded, and said: "But my companions are all injured!" ”
Kuang Anran also said: "My senior brother, they went to track Chief Huo, and they haven't come back yet!" ”
Li Chuwen said: "That's right, Your Highness asks the alliance leader to lead his companions to Ao Bao outside the city to recuperate, the imperial doctor and the best medicinal materials will go together, Chief Huo is the most difficult to deal with, so don't let him mix into the city!" This matter also needs the help of the Laurie League Lord and the knights. ”
In a mansion outside the palace, they saw Dean Tu and others who were recuperating here, and Li En expressed to them the meaning of Yelu Yanxi and Concubine Xiao, and Zhao Anbang said: "Isn't this crossing the river and demolishing the bridge?" ”
Wu Huading said: "Before the river has passed, the bridge will be demolished, don't forget that Chief Huo is still on the run!" ”
Li Chuwen hurriedly explained: "Please don't misunderstand the meaning of His Royal Highness the Emperor and the concubine, I am also a Han person, although the Emperor Sun and the Queen Mother are Khitans, but they definitely do not mean to despise the Han people, on the contrary, they respect the Han people very much, now the imperial city is safe, but the source of the hidden danger is the Huo chief and other vassal kings outside the imperial city, Ao Bao is in the northwest of the imperial city, if the Huo chief leads his troops to turn back, the alliance leader and you can intercept it as soon as possible!" ”
Dean Tu said: "We all understand what the Taishi said, let's leave the imperial city and go to Aobao." ”
Li Chuwen showed a satisfied look, and Li En said: "After we capture Chief Huo and force Elder Chushui to ask about the whereabouts of Elder Chushui, we will lead our companions to leave the Liao Kingdom, and we will definitely not threaten the safety of the emperor and grandson!" ”
"What is this that the Alliance Leader said! We don't have that idea at all! Li Chuwen hurriedly explained: "Actually, I am really honored to be able to meet you heroes, and I really want to feast on you!" ”
Dean Tu said: "Then wait for His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun to ascend the throne, and the world will be peaceful!" ”
Everyone packed up their things, Li Chuwen ordered the imperial physician to bring the medicinal materials, and Xiao Tzu did not lead his generals, and sent these martial arts masters out of the city from the north city gate in an ox cart.
Ruan Dexian immediately led his generals to greet them, and sent them to a hill twenty miles northwest of Shangjing, where a team of about 10,000 soldiers was originally stationed, but this group of soldiers was transferred to Yinshan Pass to assist Xiao Tieshi in guarding the pass. Only stone barracks remained.
Jin Guoshi arranged a room for everyone to live in, and Ruan Dexian did not leave, and ordered the troops to set up a tent in front of the house and also stationed here.
Rien was going to live in the same room as his two guards, but Kwong Anran asked Jin Guoshi to arrange a separate room for her, which was next door to Liu Mengwei and Aina's room.
After days of fighting, they were wounded, so they fell asleep.
After dawn, Qiu Yongsan led the wolf team back, Ruan Dexian immediately woke up Lien, Qiu Yongsan entered the room and reported eagerly: "Chief Huo fled to Sanhepo and was taken in by the three Manggai, and Yelu Huzhen led the troops of Lanling County to defect to them!" ”
Rien hurriedly said: "Wait, what is Manggai?" ”
Ruan Dexian hurriedly explained: "Manggai is a kind of heroic man on the grassland, their martial arts are very high, and those who have contradictions with those in power are equivalent to the masters and heroes among our Han people!" ”
Rien's brows immediately furrowed, and Dean Tu and Jin Guoshi also rushed over immediately.
Kuang Anran rushed over when he heard the sound and asked, "What about my senior brother?" ”
Rien remembered that his bodyguard, Xiao Biye, had not returned, so he added, "What about Xiao Biye? ”
Ma Ganan said: "The two of them stayed in Sanhepo to continue to monitor Chief Huo, where the terrain is precipitous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and close to the silver snow field, even if we break through their walled city, they can still escape to the snow field." ”
Ryan looked over to Dean Tu for his opinion.
Dean Tu said: "I have also been to the Silver Snow Field, where it is icy and snowy, cold and frozen, and the territory is vast, once King Mu escapes there, it is equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain, and it will be even more difficult to capture him!" ”
Ryan immediately thought, "Oops, I forgot, the real enemy we have to deal with is Elder Water, and King Wood must know Elder Water's whereabouts!" ”
"While King Mu is still alive, I have to hurry up and ask him about Elder Shui's whereabouts!" As he spoke, Lien summoned a koi mount, pulled Dean Tu up, and jumped out of the room, rushing towards the capital, and Jin Guoshi followed Shi Cangwu to chase after him on his mount.
However, Rien rode the koi directly over the city wall and entered the palace, and before they could get off their mounts, they were surrounded by Xiao Bulai and the Ouchi guards.
Rien went straight to the point and said, "What about the Wood King?" I have something important to see him! ”
Xiao Bulai said: "King Mu is already a repeat offender in the imperial court, and no one is allowed to approach him without the order of the concubine!" ”
Dean Tu explained: "King Kemu is concerned with the whereabouts of another important criminal we want to track, and we must see him!" I hope the general will make it clear. ”
Xiao Bulai insisted: "Without the permission of the concubine, no one is allowed to touch the Wood King!" ”
The two sides had a dispute, Li Chuwen rushed over when he heard the sound, and when he saw Lien and Dean Tu, he frowned, but quickly said: "We can't decide this matter, General Xiao doesn't know where King Mu was imprisoned, let's go to meet His Royal Highness the Emperor and the concubine." ”
Li En agreed, and when Concubine Xiao saw them, she said, "You can go to see King Mu, but in front of us, and the meeting time cannot exceed half a pillar of incense!" ”
The two agreed, and Concubine Xiao ordered the princess to go to the palace of King Timu, and while waiting, Dean Tu asked: "I wonder when the concubine will let His Royal Highness the emperor and grandson ascend the throne?" ”
As soon as she heard that her son would ascend the throne, Concubine Xiao said with her eyebrows: "The first emperor has just died, and according to the regulations, he must keep filial piety for the first emperor for a month, and the new emperor can ascend the throne, but now the situation is unstable, but it is also necessary to wait for all the vassal kings and princes to arrive in Shangjing, and after entering the palace to worship the first emperor, the emperor and grandson can ascend the throne, and then edict to these vassal kings, and finally order the messenger to edict the world and send official letters to various countries!" ”
Dean Tu nodded in response and said, "But have the vassal kings and princes received the news of the death of the first emperor?" ”
The concubine shook her head and said: "Not yet, the palace is afraid that they will lead their troops to rebel in the name of entering Beijing at the same time!" ”
Dean Tu said: "So the concubine will not mourn, but the paper can't hold the fire, and the longer this matter drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to the concubine and His Royal Highness!" ”
Xiao Tzu said inconveniently: "The generalissimo of the soldiers and horses, Yelujin, has already led the army to Shangjing, and as soon as he arrives, we can release the news of the death of the first emperor to the vassal kings and princes of various places, and let them go to Beijing to mourn." ”
Rien couldn't help but say: "When these vassal kings and princes enter the capital, they must order their subordinates to wait outside the imperial city, and they only need to bring a small number of guards into the city, so that their threat can be lifted!" ”
Dean Tu asked: "But among these vassal kings or princes, there are also people with strong martial arts like King Mu or Chief Huo, and these guards in the palace alone can't stop them!" ”
Xiao Tzu asked, "Is there anything else?" (To be continued.) )
