Chapter 439: Turbulence
(Thank you for the reward of the Glory Dawn Knight and other book friends, I still owe you a more and haven't paid it back, and today I promise to add another chapter, but I still have to owe, this time is too busy, and when I am busy with this paragraph, I must pay it back.) There are two chapters in total, and I remember it by heart. )
When Tian Lingzi stepped into the room with a happy face, Li Yan was leaning on the head of the bed, his face was pale and bloodless, and the queen was holding a medicine bowl in her hand, carefully feeding him medicine spoon by spoon. Before swallowing a few bites, Li Yan coughed violently, and the medicine he had just swallowed in his mouth spit out again, staining his clothes, and there were yellow stains everywhere on the quilt. The queen hurriedly took out a handkerchief and gently wiped her lips for Li Yan.
Li Yan, who had already improved his condition, suddenly took a turn for the worse after being frightened, and it became more and more serious.
"Waiter, has something happened again?" Li Yan's voice was almost inaudible.
"Your Majesty, a good thing, a good thing!" Tian Lingzi's original mouth was full of teeth, but now only a few plate teeth remained, and the rest were all swallowed by Hao Meng's elbow, and now his speech is a little slurred.
"The news has just come that General Zuo Wuwei defeated Xue Xiong's troops in Le'an, and Xue Xiong escaped with light horses, but left behind a large number of foot soldiers, and these foot soldiers surrendered to General Qin in desperation. Now General Qin led his troops to defend Le'an to the death, and General Li's 20,000 cavalry advanced all the way and captured Weizhou City, and now Zhu Youzhen's troops have been locked in the Zhaoyi area, these rebels have fled to Luzhou City, and have been besieged by Hedong and Wuwei Legions, and they have been destroyed. ”
Listening to Tian Lingzi's words, a layer of blush appeared on Li Yan's face, and his spirit was also greatly lifted: "Okay, good, Qin Zhao really lived up to my expectations, General Li, Han Qi did not live up to me." ”
"Your Majesty, rest in peace. Although the traitors have been surrounded, it will take time to capture Luzhou! You have to take good care of your body, and when you attack in general, you can go into battle to beat the drums and cheer for your morale! The queen gently stroked Li Yan's chest and said softly.
"That's right, that's right, I have to take care of my body." Li Yan nodded again and again, but actually took the medicine bowl from the queen's hand, raised his head and drank it all.
"Your Majesty, let's sleep for a while, now General Qin, Han Jiezhen and they are still busy, and it will take time to get to Huguan!" Helping Li Yan to lie down, the queen said.
Seeing Li Yan fall asleep with a satisfied smile on the corner of her mouth, the queen sighed, stood up, and walked out. Tian Lingzi hurriedly followed.
"Which side is how?" When she arrived outside, the queen asked with a heavy face.
Tian Lingzi shook his head: "Niangniang, the minister went to worship, and also conveyed the condolences of His Majesty and the queen, but, but ......"
"Let's get straight to the point!" The queen sat down and closed her eyes.
"Liu Ruyan is too unreasonable." Tian Lingzi snorted, but he didn't dare to speak out.
"When my mind is blank, I can't think of anything, it's just a subconscious action, if only I had stopped in front of His Majesty at that time." The queen said helplessly.
"Mother, where are you talking about!" Tian Lingzi comforted: "Heaven and Earth Monarch, being able to serve Your Majesty is the glory of each of our courtiers, Liu Ruyan is a little girl, what do you know?" General Li will not be like this, and he must be able to understand that under the critical situation at that time, Niangniang really had no choice. ”
The queen was silent for a moment, "I'm afraid things won't be as you think." Although Li Ze has a father, since he was a child, he has been no different from not having a father, and he is dependent on his mother, and this affection is much deeper than we imagined. The reason why Liu Ruyan has such an attitude is nothing more than knowing the importance of Mrs. Wang to General Li. ”
"Your Majesty and Niangniang have been showing more grace to the Li family, or after this period of relief, everything will be back on track. Xue Ping has been staying over there and trying his best to persuade him, Liu Ruyan is unreasonable, but Gongsun Changming's mind is still very clear. Tian Lingzi carefully comforted.
"I hope so!" The queen said: "Waiter, you immediately send a letter to Han Qi, by the way, and General Zuo Wuwei, let them come to Huguan immediately." ”
"Niangniang, General Zuo Wuwei is rectifying the surrender army in Le'an." Tian Lingzi suddenly saw the queen's stern face, and immediately reacted, "The minister understands, and immediately sends someone to summon them to Huguan." ”
Tian Lingzi hurried away.
But the queen closed her eyes tiredly.
If time can be turned back, she really hopes that at that moment, she will not push Mrs. Wang, but personally go in front of the emperor and take the knife for Mrs. Wang.
This matter couldn't be concealed at all, at that time, Liu Ruyan's personal maid Xiao Cicada was in the room, and Mrs. Wang's personal maid Xia Zhu.
They saw it all with their own eyes.
In a general sense, it seems that in doing so, the courtiers can't find fault with it. But the queen knows very well that today is different from the past, it doesn't matter who dies, even if it's her, but the person who dies shouldn't be Mrs. Wang.
She once sent Tian Lingzi and Xue Ping over to express her desire to go to Mrs. Wang's spirit to mourn, but Liu Ruyan refused without hesitation.
What frightened her even more was that Liu Ruyan actually transferred Chen Bing's Qianniuwei of Shuanglong Mountain back to Huguan at the first time. By the time Xue Ping and the others found out that something was wrong, Qianniuwei had already controlled the entire Huguan. Fortunately, there are still some of Su Qun's soldiers and horses in the pass, as well as some divine soldiers. But the queen knew very well that if Liu Ruyan wanted to do something at this time, these soldiers and horses would be completely unable to stop Qianniuwei.
Li Ze is coming.
There were also more than 10,000 elite Wuwei cavalry, once Li Ze knew the truth about Mrs. Wang's death, what would happen to him?
The queen's only hope now is for Qin Zhao and Han Qi to come quickly.
The emperor still did not know the truth of the matter, and the empress did not dare to inform the dying emperor of these things, for fear that he would die if he was stimulated.
If Li Ze's reaction was as fierce as Liu Ruyan's, what should she do?
What help can Qin Zhao and Han Qi give her?
Through Xue Ping, the empress had already learned that this time Li Ze had dispatched more than 100,000 troops at one time, and this was done under the continuous confrontation with Zhang Zhongwu in Pingzhou and other places at the same time, and the military pressure on Hou Xiyi in Pinglu was maintained. This has fully demonstrated that Li Ze's strength is far from being comparable to Han Qi and Qin Zhao.
What's more, now Han Qi's situation is also extremely embarrassing, in order to participate in the battle of Zhaoyi and save the emperor, Han Qi almost poured out, and at this time, Zhang Jia, who was supported by Li Ze, maintained an aggressive posture towards Taiyuan in Shuozhou.
Once the two sides turn their faces, I am afraid that the emperor will not even have a place to live.
With a long sigh, the queen covered her face with her hands and buried her head deep between her knees.
Tian Lingzi hurriedly came out, found Xue Ping, and said what the queen meant. After Xue Ping thought for a moment, there was no other way, it seemed that this was the only way to relieve the pressure at present.
"Shizhong, you go and do this thing." Xue Ping thought for a while and said, "I'm going to go out of the city to find Li Ze, I can't ask for the truth from Li Ze, I'm really not at ease." ”
"You're out of town?" Tian Lingzi was startled, in the city, the only one who dared to confront Liu Ruyan now was Xue Ping.
"Don't worry, although Liu Ruyan is domineering, she is not a person who does not know the seriousness, and I have already returned from the sea."
"Liu Ruyan promised to let Li Hai lead troops into Huguan?" Tian Lingzi was surprised and delighted.
"Where!" Xue Ping shook his head and said: "The army can't enter, but Li Hai himself can come in, and I feel more at ease with Li Hai as an escort." ”
After saying this, Xue Ping arched his hand and said: "This time I am fighting for this life, and I want to persuade General Li to focus on the overall situation, and never be petty." ”
Le'an, Qin Zhao is devoting himself to adapting the footmen left behind after Xue Xiong's escape. For him, every ounce of strength is very precious now, and the Zhaoyi Army under Xue Xiong is still very different from the Xuanwu Army, after all, the influence of Xue Song, the king of Yanping County, still exists today, and these soldiers are all locals of Zhaoyi, so it is not difficult to adapt them.
But after receiving the letter sent by Tian Lingzi with 100,000 urgently, Qin Zhao was almost heartbroken, and he couldn't care about anything for a while, leaving Jin Shiyong to continue the reorganization in Le'an, and he himself only brought 500 cavalry, so he rushed towards Huguan in a hurry.
Almost at the same time, Han Qi, who was in Changzhi, also received the news sent by Tian Lingzi, compared with the urgency of Qin Zhao, Han Qi was very good.
"Cunzhong, do you think Li Ze will turn his face this time?" Han Qi asked in a good mood. In the past few months, his life has been really bad, Zhang Jia, who was once crushed by him, after getting Li Ze's support, turned over, and his military strength was greatly enhanced, forming great pressure on Han Qi's old nest Taiyuan in Shuozhou. Although in Zhaoyi, the Hedong Army marched smoothly, and even went down to stay in the tun and ruled for a long time, but all of this was achieved under the powerful military strength, to put it bluntly, he was just an assistant. After this battle is over, the greatest credit will naturally belong to Li Ze, and the richest fruit will naturally belong to Li Ze. Zhaoyi will inevitably fall into the hands of Li Ze, with Han Qi's current strength, he wants to take away some territory from Li Ze's bowl, but he doesn't have to think about it.
But now the change has brought him an opportunity.
"Whether Li Ze turns his face or not, this is our opportunity." Li Cunzhong said with a smile: "Look at Tian Lingzi, Xue Ping's urgency, you can know the current situation of Huguan." Jieshuai, take this opportunity, we can unite Qin Zhao, Xue Ping, Qin Zhao will not talk about it for the time being, but Xue Ping is a key person, Zhaoyi used to be the Xue family, and now the Xue family is in Zhaoyi, and he still has a lot of strength. ”
"Heroes see the same thing!" Han Qi nodded again and again: "If we can unite with them and get the emperor's support, then even if we are still weaker than Li Ze in terms of strength, but in terms of politics, we can wrestle with him." As long as Li Ze doesn't completely turn his face and still wants to be under the banner of Datang, then we have a lot of room for activities. ”
"Then Jieshuai, do you need to go to Huguan right away?"
"No, let's see." Han Qi smiled and said, "If we go when the emperor needs us the most, it will make the emperor's image more profound." This time, we want His Majesty the Emperor to understand who his true loyal servants are. ”
