597 Battles

"Just go." Shen Yan sat still, his fingers kept rubbing the silk, he didn't know what he was thinking, his eyes were always a little uncertain.

Mei Niang didn't pay much attention to it, but when she was about to get up with the small box, Shen Yan suddenly said again: "Since my sister was often by the county lord's side back then, and the county lord was very harmonious with the princess, have you ever heard about the Fire Phoenix Order and the three thousand dead soldiers?" ”

Mei Niang sat back and looked at her: "What are you asking about this?" ”

Shen Yan said: "Don't hide it from my sister, the Fire Phoenix Order is now in our hands, but the three thousand dead soldiers have never seen it." I heard that the 3,000 dead also had their names and surnames registered in a roster, and they searched for them and found them but had no whereabouts. I wonder if my sister can provide me with some clues? ”

Since there has been no progress in the matter of the dead soldier so far, Shen Yan and Han Ji did not deliberately mention this matter.

When Mei Niang heard this, she said: "This is a big matter handled by the prince and the princess, how can you tell people casually?" ”

"Don't even the county lord know?"

"I'm just a subordinate, and thanks to the young master and his wife, they don't treat me as an outsider. The county lord just knew, so how could she tell me? Mei Niang stood up, put the things into the wrapper one by one, and then saluted Shen Yan, and then hooked her head into the room.

Shen Yan raised her eyebrows and looked at her going out, propped her head behind her and smiled: "The waist is so straight, it doesn't look like a maid." After saying that, she smiled thoughtfully, and then got up and left the hospital again.

Mei Niang saw her out of the window when she went out, so she relaxed and sat on the bed.

Shen Yan went out here, and Meiniang also entered the palace not long after.

Han Ji went to the Shen family. first went to visit Shen Guanyu, and then went to Gu's house with Shen Mi to find Gu Zhicheng.

The people sent by Zhao Jun to the north and south to send an edict to the King of Liao and Prince Lu have not yet returned, and the Duke of Rong Guo went to the northwest after discovering King Zheng, and sent troops to strengthen the defense line of Yanmen Pass on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also let people monitor the Liao Wangfu, but in the end the distance between the two places is not close, and the news is not said to be there. But because Han Ji pretended to be King Zheng and wrote a letter to Yanmen Pass, news came from the northwest yesterday, and there were indeed Mongolians who came to meet under the pass.

But the specific situation is unknown, yesterday Han Ji met Gu Zhicheng in the yamen. He said that Rong Guogong's personal soldiers should arrive today. So I made an appointment to meet at Gu's house.

After entering Gu's house, I saw Gu Zhicheng and Gu Song hurriedly sitting in the backyard and coming out, and when I saw the two of them, I also saved my daily greetings, and waved my hand directly: "Come into the study and talk!" ”

Han Ji and Fu Mi stared at each other here. hurriedly followed up with Gu Zhicheng's study.

Gu Song ordered his subordinates to go to the Dong family and Xue's house to invite people. Then he closed the door and came in. Seeing this, Han Ji said, "But what's wrong with Yanmen?" ”

"Yanmen Pass is nothing. The Mongols who met with our messenger have been caught by my father and have been taken into custody. For now, take a look at this! Gu Zhicheng took out a letter from his arms and gave it to him.

Han Ji unfolded and looked at Shen Mi together, and the two of them frowned at the same time: "King Liao ran away?!" ”

"Look down!"

Gu Zhicheng pointed to the letter. "This guy not only ran away, but also ran to Dongliao!

"Although you are like a god, but our people are still late, did not expect that it was King Zheng who did it, and did not expect that he actually colluded with the Dongliao people to betray the country, the morning when the people came back to deliver the letter, that is, the morning before yesterday, Yanmen Pass had already discovered that the Mongolian army was rushing to the pass from a hundred miles away, and it was still timely for us to send troops, and there was still time to dispatch! But I don't know how many people are coming! ”

After reading it, Han Ji and Shen Mi solemnized their faces at the same time, raised their heads and said, "Has this letter been sent to the military department?" ”

"I didn't have time!" Gu Zhicheng said, "Besides, aren't you the boss?" It's not the same for you! ”

Han Ji immediately folded the letter and handed it to Gu Song behind him: "Send it to the military department immediately, and report to the emperor at the same time!" The military department ordered the northwest to send special personnel to the capital every four hours to deliver a report! ”

Gu Song took the letter and turned around and left.

Han Ji said to Gu Zhicheng again: "The King of Liao fled to Eastern Liao, what is the situation in Prince Nalu's Mansion recently?" ”

Prince Lu's Mansion has now been closely monitored, and it is Gu Zhicheng who is in charge of this area.

"It's nothing, we're too strict. But Prince Lu estimated that he had already known that something had happened in the capital, and he had not spread a word into the mansion these days. But there were two who went around the palace, and we took them, but they were for the palace. ”

Han Ji nodded.

Shen Mi said here: "If nothing happens to the former military camp, then Prince Lu should be on his way back to Beijing, but the King of Liao has already sneaked to Eastern Liao, how can Prince Lu sit still and wait to die?" I guess there have been changes in the former barracks, but I don't know if the military department has received the news? ”

After hearing this, Han Ji raised his voice and called Tao Xing in: "You go to the military department and ask, what news have you received?" Bring them all. ”

After Tao walked, the atmosphere in the room became more solemn.

After all, the escape of King Liao is already a big deal, and if something happens to the former military camp again, it will really not be as simple as King Zheng kidnapping anyone.

After a cup of tea here, Xue Zhu, Dong Slow, and Dong Keli also came.

As soon as Han Ji relayed the news just now, the big guys also sank their faces. "In that case, we should no longer stay in the capital, and we should immediately issue an order to the guards. Even if Prince Lu is likely to make trouble, we have to pass on the order, and we will deal with it when they don't listen!" ”

"That's why I'm waiting for you here." Han Ji said, "Brother Gu in the northwest has to go over in person."

"There is now Huguo Gong in the left army, and there is also Xu Guogong in the right military camp, and both sides are on standby at the same time, just waiting for the news from the former military camp to come, and then the military department will order action. As for the Jingshi here, there is naturally a Chinese military camp guarding it. I'm not worried about these, Prince Lu can't fight against the forces of the three major military camps.

"I'm only worried about how many Mongolian troops will come from the northwest, and if there are too many people, will the rear military camp be able to hold it?"

"That's really the biggest problem." Shen Mi nodded, "For now, it's better to prepare the grain and grass in advance, no matter what, make preparations first." ”

And they all nodded.

After another round of discussion on the spot, Gu Song and Tao Xing both came back here, and the military department had also received the news of the escape of King Liao, and there was no movement from the former military camp.

Without new information, there will naturally be no new conclusions.

Here everyone put the things that should be done again, and then went to their respective offices to do errands, although it is the time to go down, but the matter is urgent, no one will be able to relax at this time.

Shen Yan knew that something so big had happened, so he wouldn't pester Han Ji.

Han Ji gave an order to the northwest and asked them to return to the battle report every four hours, and the border military affairs would probably be able to feel the progress at any time. The Mongols arrived at Yanmen Pass on March 25 and stationed five miles outside the gate, and the news that the spies had found out that there were at least 30,000 people.

Eastern Liao had only experienced a catastrophe a few years ago, and many soldiers had died, and the months of wind and snow in the bitter cold land of the northwest also made them need to face the test of the climate for a long time. They have been eyeing the Central Plains for a long time, and they only hate that they have no chance to step into the Central Plains.

Zhao Jun has also been unable to sleep and eat these days, and often discussed with Han Ji and the officials and generals of the six ministries until midnight, and the original layer of mustard for Han Ji is not known whether it has been removed or temporarily forgotten, in short, whoever should do it will do it, and the cooperation is quite tacit.

And here in the harem, after Lu Minglan came back from Jingluo, her illness seemed to be better for most of the time, and she took Jingluo wherever she went every day, she would accompany him with a needle and thread if he wanted to read and learn calligraphy, and if he wanted to play, she would let people move a stool to the side to sit, her eyes always revolved around him obsessively, she laughed with him when he laughed, and sometimes she looked at him when he was quiet, and sometimes her eyes would be red when she looked at him.

Jing Luo also seemed to know that she and Zhao Jun were very intimate these days, and would lie on their laps to say interesting things, and would also break a piece of the delicious pastry they were eating and stuff it into Zhao Jun's mouth.

If you don't think about your identity, it's a very warm atmosphere.

But it's a pity that Jing Luo is the only prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the only heir, and he must accept all the behaviors and teachings that are in line with his identity.

So although Lu Minglan was relieved because of his return, she also became gloomy because she became more and more clear about their identities.

However, the things in the harem do not affect the government, including the back house.

On the first day of April, it rained early in the morning, and as the raindrops knocked on the begonia leaves in front of the window, the military newspaper in the northwest also knocked on the door of the military department!

The Mongols raided Yanmen Pass last night, and the Zhou army lost two generals and killed and wounded more than 1,000 soldiers!

Xue Zhu and Dong Slow, who were on night duty in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, rushed to the Xiao Mansion after receiving the disappearance, and Han Ji, who had just stopped when the rooster was crowing, sat up with a carp and walked to the front yard with his shoes on: "Where is Rong Guogong?" How are they? ”

"It's okay for my grandfather Gu and the people who went to the rear barracks to reinforce it, but the Mongolian army's combat effectiveness is very strong, one of them can top the three of us, especially if they are good at fighting immediately, besides, their archery skills are generally stronger than ours, if we fight hard with them, it is completely fighting with our lives!"

Han Ji frowned and read the battle report, and said, "Go to the palace and talk!" ”

As he spoke, he took the horsewhip from Tao Xing's hand and strode out.

When Shen Yan walked to the door, he saw that he had already walked away from them, and he vaguely heard a few words, knowing that the northwest was defeated, so he hurriedly sent He Qun and them into the yamen to inquire about the situation, and then come to report at any time.

Xin Yimei Niang and they all came out when they heard the movement, and they heard that the northwest was defeated, and everyone's faces were covered with clouds. If the Mongolian army is really so powerful, then it will be a matter of time before it enters the pass!

Shen Yan had no intention of eating, so he just waited for He Qun and them to send the news back. Reluctantly drank a bowl of shredded chicken porridge, ate half a roll, and finally there was movement outside, He Qun gasped slightly and entered the door and said: "The young master and the ministers have all entered the palace to discuss, and now it is about to discuss the point of going to the northwest to fight, our young master is now the boss, I am afraid he will go in person!"
