It turned out that it was Jiang Ci, the prince of the Qi Kingdom, who took advantage of the chaos to fight his way out of the city under the cover of the dead, and went out of the city through the underground passage under the escort of the secret strongholds of the Chu capital. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's a pity that a group of dancing girls who came with the mission were all imprisoned with the best princesses of the Qi country.

This cell was not a place where women could stay, and they went in with such crimes, and the princess first began to pretend to be an ordinary palace lady under the cover of her personal maid, but she didn't want to meet the chaos in the Chu Palace, and finally she was thrown into the prison together with other unidentified palace maids, because she was outstanding, arrogant, and aggressive, and was humiliated by several bold prison servants.

This princess has always been arrogant, how could she be willing to suffer such a great humiliation, and in shame, she took advantage of the middle of the night to find a short time in the prison cell.

The jailer was frightened, and in order to cover up the crime, he dragged the body of the princess to the mass grave at night, but he didn't expect that although the princess was arrogant, she had the capital of arrogance, and her mother's sister was the cousin of a favored lady in Yitian's womb.

In the change of the Chu Palace, the Son of Heaven specially issued an edict at the request of this lady, asking the King of Chu to escort Princess Jiao into the palace.

However, when the edict was delivered, the sending officer and the accompanying female officer in the palace actually found the princess who was dragged out by wild dogs outside the mass grave to describe the destruction, or the female official was bold and careful, and saw from the shoes worn by the princess that the identity of the female corpse was unusual, and after a closer look, it almost didn't scare the two of them into fainting.

At that moment, the commander didn't even enter the city and left directly with the corpse, this time, he walked to the side of Chu, Jiang Ci got such news, he didn't say a word, and directly waved his troops.

There was a stalemate between the two countries for several months, and the sticky atmosphere was directly torn apart, Jiang Ci was furious, and only said that he was attacked in Chudu, and his sister died tragically.

There was a stalemate between the two countries for several months, and the sticky atmosphere was directly torn apart, Jiang Ci was furious, and only said that he was attacked in Chudu, and his sister died tragically.

The momentum of the Qi State was like a rainbow, and when the beacon fire was transmitted, the Chu State had lost three cities in a row.

It turned out that after entering the city, Jiang Ci's military order was strict, not robbing, not robbing, telling the people, and deciding the enmity of the two families by the order of the Son of Heaven, which did not involve the people.

There is only one point, and all the cities can only enter and exit. In case the news leaks.

When encountering a recalcitrant city, after entering the city, Jiang Ci directly slaughtered the soldiers defending the city and filled the gate, and then the city wall was full of defenders' heads.

In these two days, it was like a bamboo, the Chu army stationed at the border was caught off guard, and when they came back to their senses, they had been blocked by the Qi army outside the border city, and the Chu State was cut off, if it was forward, it would fall into the Qi army to fight, and even more, Jiang Ci in order to drag the Chu army, actually put the infected people into the Chu army with trebuchets, this poisonous trick came out, the Chu army was tied, and the epidemic epidemic in the army was soon epidemic, and the leading guards were bent on fighting, so that the hearts of the people in the army were floating and the army was discouraged.

In addition, the secret cultivation of the Qi people in the early stage along the road was all destroyed, and the messenger was also killed since the war zone, and the fake post was reported every day that everything was fine, and when someone finally noticed, it was already too late, and the Qi army had already arrived in the city.

And the real source of information turned out to be from the Xin family of Chen State, Xin Yihua sent several messengers from the Chen and Chu borders, all the way to avoid the blockade, all the way to the wild, ran a few horses, and rushed to the Chu capital within two days.

However, the Xin family is also in danger at the moment, King Chen is jealous, and sends the Xin family to the border, where the epidemic is rampant, and at the same time, in the name of the queen, the daughter of the Xin family is invited into the palace, called as a guest, which is really a shackle.

The messenger finished the message roughly, and was already about to collapse, and along the way, he ate and slept in the open, and there was almost no rest, and the king of Chu was busy helping him down left and right, so that he could rest.

Then he came in and appeased Xin Hui for two sentences, and immediately ordered to summon the important ministers and enter the palace to narrate.

Xin Hui heard clearly, although she was extremely worried, but she still tried to calm down, she was worried about the family for a while, worried about the king of Chu for a while, and then thought of these days, since the family came to the family a few letters that did not hurt or itch, the letters after that were written by the father's favored Mrs. Ru, saying that it was because of her father's hand disease, and it was inconvenient to write letters.

She hated this lady so much in her heart that she didn't even read her letter well.

At present, I was stunned, and immediately ordered Gong E to bring the letter, and after a while, I saw Meiya holding a pile of bamboo slips and silks coming slowly, and when I saw her, before I could speak, tears rolled down.

"Miss, slave, slave thinks she'll never see you again." These days, because she was sick, she basically didn't eat or drink, but she lost a lot of weight, faintly revealing a delicate outline, "When you came back that day, I listened to the palace attendants, the appearance was terrible, his face was full of blood, and the king's clothes were bitten into rags by those evil fish, he carried you into the room, and dragged all the doctors who were called Chu out of the house overnight. Just said that if it can't be cured, no one will want to leave. ”

She put the bamboo slip in a place where she was disheartened, and looked at her current appearance, and her eyes turned even redder.

"Mademoiselle is really suffering. The slave maid and Mama Liu wanted to come over, but they were stopped, and they only said that no one in the palace was allowed to enter--I was afraid that I would be sick and give Miss Miss, and the king would take care of Miss himself. Speaking of this, she seemed quite comforted, "Miss has not suffered this crime in vain, and the king now values you more than eyeballs." ”

"It doesn't matter if he values me and my sin." Xin Hui stretched out his hand and scratched through the letterhead, picking out a few letters.

Meiya is about to speak again, God knows, these days, how many gossip she has saved since she woke up, how many legends she has heard, and how many questions she has, just the great changes in Nakun and Gong are enough for her to say for a day.

"Go ahead, get me some salt, and prepare some change of clothes." Xin Huizhi opened his noisy, excited and chattering beautiful teeth, and carefully laid out a few letters.

At this glance, the problem can be seen.

The last letter of my father's letter, and the first letter from Mrs. Ru, just enough four words at the beginning and end.

Dingyu curtain swallow.

The fish swimming in the ding, the swallows nesting on the curtain, what a dangerous situation.

For example, Mrs. said that the family Xiaosunri misses her sister every day, and she looks forward to not knowing when she can get together.

This letter was written a month ago, about the time when Madame and others had just entered the palace.

And now, there is no news at all.

Xinhui's temples jumped suddenly.

Xinhui's temples jumped suddenly.

She looked at the letter paper on the table, and for a moment she only felt that her palm was hot, and her heart was dry, as if the blood in her whole body was rushing to her heart. She pinched the soft silk and meditated for a while, and then she went through the things in her mind clearly.

It's so coincidental, it's unsettling.

As if confirming some of her intuition, at noon, news came from outside.

Chen Guo sent troops.

But this soldier did not come to the aid of Chu, but went straight to the capital of Chu.

"Chen Guo is ungrateful, he rushed to help Mu Chen at the beginning, and the two surnames became friends, but now he is in a hole! It's hateful. The hall was filled with indignation.

"Hmph, he Chen Guo is just a defeated general under the Qi people, and the Qi people are not our opponents, the generals of the defeated army, why are you afraid. I don't think he's so good, there will be no return."

"But the minister heard that the Xin family of Chen Guo and the Mu family had broken up, and King Chen detained the Xin family in the palace and asked the son of the Xin family to be the vanguard and attack the Chu State."

"Ahh Isn't that ...... "the queen's brother-in-law, the king's brother-in-law?"

There was silence for a moment on the field, and they all immediately looked at King Chu, whose face remained unchanged.

He pressed one hand on the jade belt, and the dark robe inlaid with cloud patterns set off his cold face even more, and a faint anger flashed in his eyes, and when he looked up again, he couldn't see any clues.

"Wang, Chen Jun borrowed the strength of the sailor, has crossed the Nanzhao River, and traveled hundreds of miles a day to approach the Yinyang Pass, which is the northwest throat of the Chu State, once it is breached, the Qi people in the east will form a two-sided attack, and the Chu capital will be in danger at that time!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the top priority is to order the wealthy families to cooperate in defense, Shangyang City is the former residence of the Yan family after the Yanyang Pass, and the general should be asked to prepare as soon as possible to block the Chen army."

Da Sikong had a sad face: "Your Majesty's cronies are the tiger and wolf division of the Chu State, but the command of this army, those who are not outstanding in prestige and ability cannot be used, if General Yan goes to Yinyang Pass, then this tiger army does not know who can lead it." ”

The Tiger Ben Army is the elite of the Chu King's cronies, and it is more intimate than the lineage of the Qi and Chu borders, and it is the team that the King of Chu personally brought out from the army.

Da Sikong had a sad face: "Your Majesty's cronies are the tiger and wolf division of the Chu State, but the command of this army, those who are not outstanding in prestige and ability cannot be used, if General Yan goes to Yinyang Pass, then this tiger army does not know who can lead it." ”

His concerns are indeed necessary, the Tiger Ben army is the elite of the Chu king's cronies, more intimate than hoarding the descendants of the Qi and Chu borders, and it is the team that the king of Chu personally brought out from the army.

King Chu smiled faintly, he naturally knew Da Sikong's hint.

Ling Yin Qudu disagreed: "The king must sit in the capital of Chu at this moment, one is to help, the other is to be safe and secure, and the country is safe, besides, Your Majesty should inform the Son of Heaven of the wolf ambition of the Qi State as soon as possible, in order to resolve the misunderstanding." ”

The king of Chu was noncommittal, and today, the Son of Heaven has long been unable to protect himself, that is, he has resolved the misunderstanding, and the explanation of this misunderstanding also needs to be explained by someone who can go to the heavenly capital.

The mighty marquis squinted slightly, this pillar of the kingdom was born, followed his brother to the birth and death, can hold the bow three hundred, although he is old, his temper has not changed, he will do it if he doesn't agree, after the death of his brother, he hung the title of the mighty marquis, but his subordinates have not brought anyone, more like some kind of honorary name, yes, he has been out of the house in the early stage.

He is already in the age of ear shun, but his temper is still hot, at this moment he is wearing armor, and snorted coldly: "What's so difficult about this, Qi people are cunning, this matter has been planned for a long time, so it has been profitable, but Qi people are alone in the depths, and then there is a Chu army to force each other, as long as it is blocked in the Lili grassland, within a month, the grain and grass will be exhausted, and they will be defeated without a fight." The old minister is willing to lead the troops to share his worries on the Internet. ”

Ling Yin said: "Lord Guozhu was surprised by this. The Qi army entered with the lone army, but it has been operating for a long time, and now, relying on the benefits of seizing the city in advance, it has already gained a firm foothold, like a thorn in the flesh, a maggot in the tarsal bone, and the movement will affect the whole body. ”

"What does Lord Yiqu mean? Just don't fight."

"That's not what I mean."

"And what do you mean?"

"For example, a besieged city has its own gaps and heavy land. At present, the two armies are encircled, and they should preserve their strength, first explore the truth and reality, and then make a decision, act impulsively, lose troops and lose small things, the battle situation changes, both sides are dragged down, and the war is suspended. ”

"Lord Yin also knows that the fighter plane is important? I think back then, when the old man crossed the horse, he was only in the year of the weak crown, leading 7,000 troops and breaking the Lu army. It's the fighter plane. Once the fighter plane is delayed, when the enemy army is ready, it will be too late to think about it again. ”

"This official thinks that he should avoid his edge first, at this moment, Qi people have been planning for a long time, and there is no need to harm innocents."

"Edge? When is there no edge? Could it be that if you wait and wait, you will wait for Qi people to die? Qu Du, you can beat this abacus for the first time, but you can't beat the second time, it's just that you are afraid of the tail on weekdays, military affairs, how can you be so nonsense - yes, you are now the head of the Qu family, but how did you come to be the head of the family? You know it yourself! ”

Qu Du was speechless for a while, he was the son of Qu Jiaping's wife, and he was not usually valued by the clan, and when the Qi people attacked the Chu Palace at night, his father and half-brother died cleanly, and the sister-in-law of the family, who was also the niece of the Marquis of Weiwu, could not stand this result, and threw herself into the water and died with the body of March.

But this accident was not recognized by the mighty marquis, and the Qu family was also a famous family, but that night, there was not even a servant girl who accompanied him, how could he be convinced.

"Master Hou, I just returned to the capital, and I may not be clear about many things. Lord Ling Yin has just been engaged to the second lady of the Yan family. A ceremonial officer behind the pillar reminded.

"Hehe-no wonder, my father and brother have already begun to worry about their father-in-law's affairs before their bones are cold."

"You?" Flexion and air knotting.

"Got the matter?" The mighty marquis was full of malice and sneered.

"This official admonishes according to the truth, why does the old marquis insist on forcing him. At present, there are still external troubles, how can we regenerate internal worries. ”

"Who's old!" Weiwu Hou was dissatisfied, "Then you mean that this Hou Ye is stirring up right and wrong, intending to cause internal trouble?" "There are many discussions in the court, because of the changes in the Chu Palace before, there are many new faces in the hall at this moment, but the new family power official faction is obviously less momentum in front of these inherent clans, and many people are secretly fanning the flames.

"Master Hou, you!"

"Alright." As soon as the cold voice of the King of Chu came out, the buzzing Zhu Zifang suddenly quieted down.

"Yinyang Pass is the key to Chen's attack, but Yinyang Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is Shangyang City behind it, as long as it is defended and not fighting, it will not be a big problem in the short term. The Lili grassland is only a few hundred miles away from the current advance of the Qi army, and now the autumn harvest is approaching, if the defense line cannot be established before the autumn harvest and the battle situation is consolidated, this year's harvest will be poor, and the next year will definitely be famine. Moreover, if the Qi people get fertile land and feed the war with war, the end of this war will be far away. After listening to the words of your Aiqing, the widow felt a lot. The tiger is the widow's guard, but also the country's guard. This battle is inevitable, but it should not be rushed. He paused, "Yan Yin, the widow wants you to personally lead the tiger Ben, lead 100,000 troops, and directly attack the edge of the Qi army, and be sure to stop it in the Lili grassland." ”

"Qu Aiqing, you take the widow's day battle and go to Shangyang City to contact the Yan clan to conspire against Chen Jun."

"Mighty Marquis, you lead the Chudu Guards and appease the wealthy families."

The ministers received the order, and the ministers assigned the work in an orderly manner, and it seemed to be random, but in fact it was wonderful, and the great Sima had been swaying, and finally smiled after hearing all the arrangements of the King of Chu, and was stunned.

"The widow led 50,000 troops to Yunzhou City, the capital of Chu, to assist in the defense of the three places." He finished announcing his decision and stood up.

"Do you have any objections?" The coercive gaze swept over everyone, and then made a categorical summary, "If there is no objection, it will be implemented immediately." Yan Yin, you stay. ”

Yan Yin's face was as usual when he came out of Zhuzi's room, and when he saw the saluting Gong E, he still accepted the salute lightly, everything was as usual, as if there was someone else arguing in the room, although he was temporarily persuaded by the king of Chu, but he still maintained his insistence: "The Xin family left it to me to deal with." ”

"I know, that's why I sent Qu Du to Shangyang City. Qu Du is cautious and in-law with your family, and he will definitely defend the sun until you succeed in stopping the Qi army. ”

"The Qi army is fierce this time, as early as in the battle of Chen Qi, they have carefully paid attention to the weaknesses and strengths of our army, and this battle is not easy to win."

"Each other, each other. Didn't we also leave behind the Overseers and foot soldiers they fought to torture? If you are defeated, I will avenge my brother. ”

Yan Yin looked at King Chu for a while, and suddenly slapped him on the shoulder, as if smiling: "Good guy, you have planned it since the day you entered the Chen Kingdom, haven't you?" ”

"Shiyi time shifts, where is it so far, it's just a matter of pushing the boat along the water."

Yan Yin suddenly thought of something: "What about her?" Are you going to tell her? ”

"She hasn't recovered yet, so these things don't need to alarm her."

Yan Yin nodded, his expression dark.

But on the second day after the king of Chu set off to leave the Chu capital, the palace lady in the Jinghua Palace was horrified to find that their queen was gone, and after searching all corners of the Chu Palace, the queen was not found in the end, and at this time, the Qi people suddenly began to attack, and the war was about to break out.

A steady stream of war reports from all corners to accompany the capital of Yunzhou City, although the king of Chu has ordered to find, but in the dispatch of the whole city to secretly guard, search the streets and alleys, in the end still found nothing, the king of Chu was furious, and finally ordered the queen's maid Meiya to be tortured, as a result, just took out the whip, Meiya confessed, Xinhui went to Shangyang City.

The king of Chu was silent for a moment, and sent a messenger to Shangyang City, ordering Qu Du Jiyan's family to protect the queen well.

Shangyang City is located in the northwest of Chu State, because of the abundant water and grass, the geographical position is superior, it has always been an important intermediary town for selling horses, cattle and sheep. As soon as Qu Du arrived here, he immediately ordered all the horses to be conscripted, nationalized them at a very high price, and recruited troops in the city.

However, although Chen's team has reached Yinyang Pass, it has only besieged and not attacked.

Ten will surround it, five will attack it, and the enemy will be able to divide it, and if it is less, it can be defended, and if it is not, it can be avoided.

And the army brought by the Xin family is just the same number of soldiers from Zhanzhan and Yinyang Pass, and the soldiers are weak and weak, not like a sieger, but more like a fleeing for his life.

In this way, for three consecutive days outside the pass, neither calling for battle nor attacking, and the guards were lax during the day, and even more so at night, the fine work of the Yanyang Pass went to check around the camp, and found that the number of places where the food was made was less than half the number of the alleged army.

The guard general also heard that the relationship between the Xin family and the king of Chen was the same as fire and water, and came for coercion, and when he was ecstatic and greedy, he attacked the camp at night.

After the guards returned to the city, they immediately gathered the military horses in the city, poured out their nests, and prepared to kill Chen's ** team outside the Yanyang Pass. However, they did not expect that when they raided into the enemy's camp tent, the entire camp tent was empty, and the defenders had not had time to be happy, and the cavalry that had already been prepared rushed straight from all directions.

When the news reached Shangyang City, Qu Du was furious, but the guard was dead, Shanyang Pass had been lost, and Xin Yihua occupied Shanguan and approached Shangyang City.

Over the years, with the danger of the Yang Pass, the city defense of Shangyang City has been in a state of urgent need to repair but has not started, Chen soldiers are coming, the people in the city are panicked, at this time, people are selling horses in the pawn, found the fine work, for a while, everyone in the city is in danger, and the family runs away countless.

And King Chen led 50,000 Chen troops to follow, fully armed and drove to Yinyang Pass.

On the eastern front, the Qi army has been frantically attacking, pressing step by step, bloodied, and the tiger army led by Yan Yin fell into a stalemate, the king of Chu soldiers divided into two roads, with 30,000 troops to aid Yan Yin, and ordered the deputy general Chang to lead 5,000 people to Shangyang City, and made a military order, must be held for ten days, wait for the eastern war situation to slow down.

It was at this time that Xin Hui entered Shangyang City.

She was originally in Shangyang City to replenish, and then continued to move forward to the outside of Yinyang Pass, although she was holding the jade to clear the customs, but at this time, the army was in chaos, she was careful, no matter what, she had to see the eldest brother.

But I didn't expect that I couldn't get out of the city just after entering the city, and the city was full of searches for fine work and horse dealers, and it was said that someone found the secret information passed on in the horse's buttocks.

She tied her hair with a scarf, but her skin was white and tender, and although she had bowed her head and walked slowly, she still attracted the attention of the soldiers defending the city.
