In September of the second year of Qianhua, the thirty-fourth king of the Starfall Dynasty, the crown prince Yuwenji succeeded to the throne with an edict, and the three princes surrounded the palace on the day of his accession to the throne, and the new emperor died in the main hall.

The rebellion of the three princes started the battle for the throne, and the adult princes of the royal family fought with each other, and the national situation was turbulent for a while.

Yu Wenyi, the second prince who was far away at the border pass, led the 200,000 troops at the border pass to return to Beijing with the banner of 'diligent monarch punishment for rebellion'.

Half a month later, Xia Lan passed down a secret decree in the capital city, and on the second day, all the soldiers guarding in Beiguan raised their battle flags and crossed the 'Musla Grassland' to attack the border of Starfall, and the protection of the Starfall Dynasty with only 100,000 troops left collapsed in an instant, and the Xia Lan army took advantage of Starfall's surprise to take five cities in January.

"This is expected, although Yu Wenyi is the closest, it is more important than returning to fight against us, or rushing back day and night to seize the position." , Xie Hengxu leaned on the bed with his eyes closed, chuckling and whispering.

On the bedside stool there were lamps and brass basins, and Tillian sat on the edge of the bed with a razor to clean the stubble from his chin.

The army invaded the territory of Starfall all the way, and no female dependents were allowed in the barracks, so Tillian had to ask Luo Jia to disguise her as the man she had when she left Beijing, pretending to be Luo Jia's medicine boy, and following him into the military doctor who accompanied the army.

As for the 'Lingji' in the General's Mansion, she probably resigned after the army set out for the battle, just like Naji. After the generals led the troops to the battle, if the concubines in the general's mansion were not told to stay in the mansion and wait for the army to return, it would prove that they had been abandoned and could ask Madame Yuan for their resignation.

Tilian dressed up as a man again, and Naki was naturally secretly escorted into Beijing.

"Starfall is defending so weakly now, isn't it a little fast for us to advance? If Yuwen Yishun ascended the throne and sent troops back to fight us, Emperor An did not send troops to support, and he would be in danger. Placing the razor on the edge of the wooden stool, and taking a half-damp handkerchief and covering his face, Tillian got up and brought the water from the copper basin to the wooden frame.

Xie Hengxu wiped his face, casually put the handkerchief still at the head of the bed, and sat up on his knees to look at her slender back.

"I understand, it's just that Li Qi bites too tightly, and even the drag can't be too obvious." Seeing her slowly pacing back, Xie Hengxu's gaze fell from her delicate face to the light gray coarse cloth robe, and he couldn't help but sigh, "Luo Jia's ability to change his appearance has grown again." ”

turned a beautiful and beautiful beauty into a handsome young man, and changed someone else's female dress as a man, I am afraid that it will only make people feel sissy, but Tillian only feels weak and free when she dresses up.

Raising her hand to untie her hair, Tillian sat back on the edge of the bed, her fingers gently running through her hair.

Xie Hengxu was fascinated by it, leaned over and took her in his arms, sniffed the light fragrance marks on her neck and shoulders sideways, and the big hand on her slender waist was slightly stretched, and the spacious robe on Tilian's body was scattered.

Leaning gently into his arms, Tillian smiled and squinted at him, "Why are you still not honest?" ”

The two have been sleeping together for two months, Xie Hengxu's face has turned blue several times, Rao is so unrestricted, he has to take advantage of it, and in the end he is sad himself.

Xie Hengxu pursed her lips and puffed out her cheeks, hugging her and humming with an aggrieved face, "I can bear it." ”

Tilian rolled her eyes helplessly, and the next moment she was pressed under him, looking at his quintessential and bright phoenix eyes, she couldn't help but palpitate, and gently grabbed the placket of his clothes with her bare hands.

"Zixu."

"Hmm."

"Wait until May next year, as soon as my grandfather's filial piety period is over, whether we can return to Beijing or not, we will get married first, okay?"

The hand that reached into the underwear paused, Xie Hengxu looked at her in a daze, laughed in a low voice after a while, bowed his head and kissed her delicate eyebrows, and said in a low manner, "That's not good, the house has been prepared for more than ten years, how can you let the elders' intentions be disappointed?" ”

Tillian's heart was suffocated when she heard this, and she pulled his ear in shame, "I want to marry you at a low level, and you dare to refuse!" ”

Not caring about the pain in his ears at all, Xie Hengxu smiled brightly, "Lian'er is the most priceless treasure in this world, I want to pave a ten-mile red makeup road for you, and announce that you have become my Xie Hengxu's wife in the world, no matter what, you are not allowed to be low." ”

Di Lian opened her hand easily, and then listened to him say again, "What's more, I carved and inlaid the ninety-nine east pearls and crowns with my own hands, and on the day of marriage, you must wear them, so that everyone in the capital can see them." ”

The thick eyelashes drooped, the corners of Tilian's lips rose lightly, but her tone was annoyed, "If I knew this, I should have brought it out when I left Beijing." ”

Xie Hengxu really laughed out loud now, hugged her and turned over, Tilian lay on top of him, looking at his dazzling smile like the rising sun, her heart was soft, and she gently rested her head on his shoulder.

At the beginning of September, Xu was too violent, Yu Wenyi returned to the imperial capital and killed all the princes who participated in the throne, and the next day he supported the army and ascended the throne as the emperor, and he shocked the Manchu civil and military with a cold-blooded iron fist.

And no matter whether there are still objections in the court, the most important thing at the moment is the invasion of Xia Lan's army.

After Yu Wenyi ascended the throne, his first order was to drive the expedition in person, and even brought all the generals in the Starfall Dynasty to fight back against the Xia Lan army with all the troops of the country.

After receiving this news, Xie Hengxu, together with Yuan Bo and Li Qi, put on urgent letterhead asking for military support, and sent people to the capital day and night.

The battle to the death between Xia Lan and Starfall is finally coming, according to the past history, the real war between the two countries will take three and a half years to subside, and Xiahou An and Yu Wenyi are both ambitious people, and after the real confrontation, I am afraid that the world will not give up.

Di Lian's heart was a little heavy, especially after receiving the letter from the capital, she reflected on whether it was too early to tell Luo Jia to give Xiahou An's medicine.

Yu Wenyi drove the expedition in person, and led all the generals in the court, which greatly boosted the morale of the Starfall army.

Since ancient times, once the emperors of both countries have been on a personal expedition, it will represent an endless battle.

"Before the arrival of the army in the capital, we are afraid that we will have to fight to the death against the 600,000 troops of Starfall for a while." Luo Jia shook his head and sighed, threw down the herbs in his hand, looked at Di Lian and said, "Xie Hengxu can't die for a while, so the two of us should leave this dangerous place first." ”

Tilian glanced at him speechlessly, not wanting to pay attention to his nonsense, just frowning and asking, "Do you estimate, will Xiahou'an's poison break out in the war?" ”

Seeing that she didn't respond to herself, Luo Jia sat on the stool with her head down, chopped the herbs in the stone trough angrily, and said weakly, "Maybe thinking too quickly and being anxious and angry will lead to a poisonous attack." ”

With frowning eyebrows, Tilian squatted beside him and said sternly, "He can't die at this season, otherwise the morale will be in chaos Xia Lan will collapse, you can detoxify him first." ”

After a while, Luo Jia's nose was crooked when he heard the words, and he glared at her and said, "You said that you wanted him to die, I risked my life to poison him, and now you want me to solve him, Jiang Dilian, isn't it funny for you to tease me!" Angry, he kicked over the stone trough, Luo Jia waved his hand vigorously and said impatiently, "I want to solve you!" I can't solve it! ”

"Can't really solve it?" , Tillian stared at him intensely.

glanced at her sideways, and found that she looked serious, Luo Jia suddenly felt weak, and his shoulders collapsed and said, "There is really no antidote." ”

Knowing that he wasn't lying to himself, Tilian stood up, held her hand and paced around in the medical tent, "This is a bad thing, if Xiahou An dies on the battlefield at this time, the important ministers of the court will definitely support the young lord immediately, if the Starfall Dynasty takes advantage of the shaking of Xia Lan's army to boost morale and rush over, Zixu will have a hard time resisting." ”

After a pause, Tilian grabbed Luo Jia's collar and said coldly word by word, "No matter what, you can find a way, even if you use other poisons to suppress the poison on his body, you can't let Xiahou An die on the battlefield!" ”

Luo Jia was speechless, rolled his eyes and hated to faint, "Do you want me to poison Yuwenyi to death, save so much trouble!" ”

Tillian let go of him and sneered, "Of course you don't have that ability, and before you get close to the tent, you'll be killed by random arrows." ”

"Thank you, so you know I'm not omnipotent." , Luo Jiapi gritted his teeth and said, "I really owe you in my last life, and you are really difficult to serve." ”

The Starfall army came quickly, and on the twentieth day of September, the strength of the company led by Xie Hengxu and the Northwest Battalion was only 200,000 troops, so it was against Yu Wenyi's 600,000 army, 200,000 against 600,000, there was no doubt that there was no chance of victory.

In just three or five days, half of the thirteen cities captured were recovered by the Starfall army. Moreover, the garrison army in Beiguan was not the Xie family's army, and Xie Hengxu did not have a tacit understanding when he mobilized, and he tried his best to defend in the past three or five days, and also lost 40,000 horses.

After recapturing all the cities in mid-October, Yuwen Yixu disdained to defeat with more bullying and less victory, and actually stationed on the 'Woto Grassland' to no longer attack, which made the Xia Lan army breathe a long sigh of relief.

As a precaution, Xie Hengxu led an army of 160,000 to return to the town of Jizhou in Beiguan, and everyone looked at the dark red dragon lying on the vast northwest grassland every day, and they couldn't help but be frightened, and couldn't guess the reason why Yu Wenyi didn't send troops to attack.

Others may not know, but Di Lian understands that a person like Yu Wenyi, who is conceited, will not attack some thin remnants of the weak generals, which will insult his identity and style, Yu Wenyi is waiting for Xia Lan's reinforcements to arrive, and Xia Lan's terrain Starfall people are not familiar, if he wants to start a war, he will not fight against Xia Lan's army on Xia Lan's territory.

The open grassland outside the pass is the best battlefield.

By the end of October, the 400,000 Xialan army finally arrived in Jizhou City, along with Xie Chengyu, who led the Xie family's army, Bai Ming, the squire of the military department, Li Shu, the Marquis of Xuanbo, and several Wenchen Yushi.

Knowing that Xuanbohou Li Jie was also among the entourage, Di Lian almost laughed, this Xiahou An, it is really pervasive, this war is about the community, don't be stupid enough to toss and send the country to yourself.
