Chapter 568: War 2 (Second Watch)

And this process is undoubtedly related to the right of Prince Huo.

Huo Wangye also had power in Beijing, and he hurriedly sent someone to send a letter to Huo Tiankang, asking him to secretly control the Huo family's army.

But it's too late to do so.

Huo Tianyou has been in the army for many years, and a general like Wei Duo has long been called a brother and sister to him.

And Huo Tianyou had a heart-to-heart relationship with Wei Duo before he left Baoding Mansion, Wei Duo respected Huo Tianyou's character, and the two became brothers.

Now that the Holy Decree has been issued, Wei Duo naturally knows that this is the result of Huo Tianyou's strong recommendation of him.

Therefore, he is also very dedicated, and the soldiers on the school field are all dead soldiers who can fight with their lives on the battlefield, and most of these dead soldiers also respect Huo Tianyou's character and are willing to follow.

Huo Tiankang struggled to come to the school to stop him, but everything was gone, Wei Duo took 50,000 Huo family elite soldiers, day and night, and went straight to Luoyang.

And after Lu Shuyi received Huo Tianyou's letter, she also immediately wrote a letter to the Ninth Master, hoping that he could send troops to suppress Liu Yan's army, and even more hoped that the Ninth Master could be loyal to Da Zhou, so that the emperor could rest assured.

Seven days later, the ninth master received a letter in the Uighurs.

At that time, the Uighurs were already very peaceful, and all the civil strife had been quelled, and the Nine Masters began to choose a suitable prince among the princes to take his place in the future.

The Ninth Master took the letter and asked the princes if anyone was willing to lead troops to suppress Liu Yan's army.

The Uighurs actually have belligerent blood in their bones, and even if they surrender to the Great Zhou for decades and have good relations between the two states, they will still be enthusiastic when there is a war.

Naturally, several princes volunteered to fight.

The Ninth Master asked again: "If you go here, you will definitely be able to win land at the border of the Great Zhou, do you want it or not?" ”

"Why not if you have land?" A prince said: "Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Nature should be put to good use. Since we have been invited to help in the war, we should have something after the victory......"

"Second brother, that's a good thing."

"If you don't have land, that's a fool......"

“……”

The princes expressed their opinions, and five of the six princes agreed to help and came back by plundering some land.

Only the third prince Tuotuo shook his head and said that he would not take the land and would return immediately after the war.

As for the trophies such as horses and weapons, the victor king naturally had to bring back the Uighurs, and other than that, he would not bring anything back to the Uighurs.

The princes despised it.

Only the Ninth Master asked him quietly: "Tuotuo." Several of your brothers and sisters are advocating for land grabbing. Why don't you advocate it? ”

Although Tuotuo was sixteen years old, he was born tall, and the sixteen-year-old baby was already half a head taller than his brother.

He said in a steady voice: "You took a letter from a friend to help, if you help." A righteous son will be the first. I'm a Uighur man. has always valued righteousness, how can he turn his back on his friends. ”

The Ninth Master nodded.

I also listened to Tuotuo: "Second, now there is civil turmoil in the Great Zhou. Although it seems that the power is declining at the moment, the Uighurs are located in the northwest, and after plundering the land, they will definitely be regarded as thieves. If you attack, now that the weather is cold, the cattle and sheep are the time to cultivate and reproduce, and we are short of food, and we can't last long. ”

Tuotuo said slowly: "But if we don't grab the land, but just help Emperor Rong of the Great Zhou Dynasty quell the civil strife, will the benefits after pacification be more?" ”

"Therefore, whether it is for the sake of the word 'righteousness' or for the word 'profit', the Uighurs should not take advantage of the fire to loot, but we can bring back the booty, horses and weapons, and I believe that the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty will not blame us for this little spoil. With these horses and weapons, we Uighurs will be able to develop our armies better......"

The princes were speechless when Tuotuo said something.

The Ninth Master was very satisfied.

And the new king of the future Uighurs, he also had a plan in mind.

At that moment, the ninth master said to Na Tuotuo: "Then I will order you to do this, what do you think?" ”

Tuotuo immediately surrendered his hand: "I will not dishonor the king's order." ”

The Ninth Master sent Tuotuo to cut off Liu Yan's back road, and he gave Emperor Rong a letter of resignation.

When Emperor Rong received the letter, Tuotuo had already taken the Uighur army to Luoyang, cutting off the grain and grass of Liu Yan's army along the way.

The ninth master wrote very clearly in the letter, he helped the Great Zhou to pacify the civil strife, did not plot anything, let alone take the opportunity to plunder the city, that is not a gentleman's behavior. Moreover, as a vassal country, he only did what he had to do. Second, it was also for the sake of the county lords and concubines who were born in the Great Zhou, and the Great Zhou never treated them badly as the Uighur county lords, and the Uighurs naturally did not betray the Great Zhou.

After reading the letter, Emperor Rong breathed a long sigh of relief.

Although there are still some worries in my heart, the content of the ninth master's book is very sincere and does not seem to be fraudulent.

But who can easily believe the words of those in troubled times?

Emperor Rong thought about it, and still sent his cronies to Luoyang to see the battle situation.

After the man returned, he gave a detailed explanation, such as Huo Tianyou tried his best to resist the enemy, such as the Uighur prince Tuotuo strictly reorganized the Uighur army, and did not let the Uighurs take a needle and thread from the Great Zhou people, and such as the Wei Duo was full of strange soldiers, and the three armies joined forces, so that the army of King Huainan and Liu Yan broke a lot of people.

Emperor Rong breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Any doubts that had existed before were dissipated.

The battle has lasted for more than three months now, and seeing that Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching, Emperor Rong ordered people to send New Year's meat wine to the army, and sent a military horse over.

And Lu Shuyi's belly is gradually getting bigger, and her mobility is gradually becoming inconvenient, the princess looks at her every day, does not let her work, only let her eat and sleep well, and raise the child in her womb.

The Lu family is still in captivity, and the female dependents are celebrating the New Year in Baoding Mansion.

However, the princess did a good job, and the people who were imprisoned in the Lu family did not suffer, and at the end of the month, the princess also ordered someone to send winter clothes and food.

It's just that the person who came back said to the princess: "The old lady of the Lu family is getting worse and worse, she seems to want to see the family, and the slave maid found a doctor to see her, and the doctor said that he was afraid that he would not be able to survive next spring......"

The princess told the Wu family about it.

The Wu family discussed with the second master Lu and the concubines, and finally decided to go back to take care of the old lady Lu alone.

At this time, the fourth wife was the first to stand up, she entrusted the child to the Wu family and Lu Shuyi, and she begged the princess to arrange for her to enter the mansion to take care of the old lady.

The princess also agreed, and on the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, she sent the fourth wife to the Lu Mansion.

However, on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, news came from the Lu Mansion that Mrs. Lu had traveled to the immortals......

The Lu family was in a big funeral, but they couldn't do it in a big way, and in the end, the princess came forward and asked the second master Lu and them to go back to see Mrs. Lu......

The Chinese New Year should have been festive, but the Lu family was depressed.

There was no joy on everyone's face.

The princess was afraid that Lu Shuyi would be depressed, so she entrusted Lu Shujing and Lu Shufang to let the two sisters often explain. (To be continued.) )
