Chapter 414: Zhao Guo Begins to Send Troops!
The Qi delegation came to Xia for more than a month, and originally planned to return to Qi after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, but who knew that it encountered the murder of the king of Chu, and it was now the twentieth day of the first month before leaving for the back.
Before leaving, His Majesty personally met with Ye Wendao and Princess Ye Qianqian, and apologized for the difficulties encountered by the two because of the murder of the King of Chu, after all, the evidence at that time proved that it was the Qi State that sent people to do it, and there was a reason to control them.
Ye Wendao and Ye Qianqian didn't mind, but the two were also worried about other things.
First, the Yuan Dynasty invaded Great Qi, and the entire northern region of Qi was devastated, and until now, the Yuan Dynasty is no longer as simple as grabbing things, but wants to occupy the territory of Qi State! The Yuan Dynasty is a nomadic people, affected by the natural environment greatly, once encountered the plague and the bad year, cattle, sheep and horses suffered, they also suffered, so they coveted the land of Qi for too long, if they can destroy the Qi country, and take their fertile land as their own, then the Yuan Dynasty will not be more prosperous, and there is no need to worry about famine?
Second, now that Zhao hired a murderer to kill the king of Chu, although Emperor Xia sent a letter of state for Emperor Zhao's three sons to die, would Emperor Zhao agree? The battle between Xia and Zhao is inevitable! Now it's just a matter of time and who picks it up first.
Once the two neighbors fight again, what will happen to the Qi country?
……
Xiao Rui personally sent the mission out of the city and sent it out for ten miles.
Ye Wendao said with a smile: "Go back, I have seen your ability during this time, I don't have to worry about you anymore, your grandfather can rest assured, I want to believe in the spirit of Qianlan in the sky, and I am also very pleased." ”
"That uncle has a good journey, if I have a chance in the future, I will go to Qi Country to see you, my grandfather, and my aunt!" Xiao Rui said casually.
Ye Wendao nodded with a smile on his face, and said goodbye to Xiao Rui.
Ye Qianqian accompanied Ye Wendao to ride north, walked for a while, and couldn't help but look back at Xiao Rui, who only had a vague figure left, and sighed.
"Coming to Xia Country in person, is it completely different from what you have heard?" Ye Wendao asked with a smile.
Ye Qianqian nodded and said, "It's beyond my imagination." In the past, I always thought that even if Xia was prosperous, it was better than Qi at most, but during this time in the capital of Xia Kingdom, I saw a completely different status quo from Qi Kingdom. ”
Ye Wendao asked her: "Back in Qi Kingdom, how are you going to report to Your Majesty?" ”
Ye Qianqian stared at Ye Wendao, and after a while, she looked straight ahead and said, "Don't be an enemy of the Xia Kingdom!" Otherwise..."
Her voice paused for a moment, but finally didn't speak.
Sending off the Qi State Mission, Xiao Rui's work came to an end.
Next, the funeral of the king of Chu began.
On the twenty-third day of the first month, the king of Chu was buried in the prince's mausoleum, Xiao Rui participated in the memorial, with the end of the funeral, the life of Xiao Yiheng, the king of Chu, was completely over, and from then on, he only lived in the memory of others.
On the twenty-sixth day of the first month, Xiao Yan also left Kyoto and went to Hangzhou to serve as the assassin.
Xiao Rui personally escorted him south for forty or fifty miles, and the two said goodbye, watching Xiao Yan's carriage and horse disappear in front of him, and Xiao Rui returned to the city.
Everyone is growing and has their own life.
On the twenty-eighth day of the first month, it was originally a peaceful day, but His Majesty suddenly ordered that Concubine Mu be sent into the cold palace.
After Xiao Feng heard the news, his heart was desolate, he knew that His Majesty's patience had ended, and he would have to pay the price after doing something wrong. The fortunate thing in the misfortune is that His Majesty finally cared about the love with Concubine Mu and did not give her death. But fending for oneself in the cold palace may be even more terrible than death.
On the night of the second day when Concubine Mu was beaten into the cold palace, the British male Huang Qilin hanged himself.
Huang Qilin knew that if he didn't die, he would not extinguish His Majesty's anger, and that would be a big threat to Xiao Feng, he had no sons, only two daughters and two grandsons, this time for Xiao Feng, he was willing to die to apologize.
After Xiao Rui heard the news, he didn't expect Huang Qilin to be so resolute, but he was cheaper.
And Xiao Feng endured the sorrow, and the day after Huang Qilin's death, while the twilight was sinking in the west, he entered the palace to ask for a decree.
"Father, now that Xia and Zhao are on the verge of breaking out, Erchen doesn't want to do nothing in Kyoto, he must approve it, and Erchen wants to go to the border to practice!" Xiao Feng really followed Huang Qilin's advice and chose to leave Kyoto.
However, he did not want to give up the position of prince, but for the position of prince.
Emperor Xia looked at Xiao Feng, who had changed from his previous straightforwardness, so calm, so cautious, with sadness hidden in his eyes, but it was covered up by hardness.
This son hid his temperament, which was also unexpected. But after all, it's his own son, Concubine Mu and Huang Qilin have already received punishment, since that's the case...
"Good! I promise you! Where do you want to go? Emperor Xia asked.
Xiao Feng said: "White Tiger Hou has been imprisoned for colluding with foreign enemies, and Erchen is willing to go to Yinzhou!" ”
White Tiger Hou commanded 40,000 soldiers and horses in Yinzhou, and the legion was managed by the general army at this time.
Xia Huang nodded and said, "Okay!" Then I will give you the command of Yinzhou, lead the troops to defend Yinzhou, accompany the sea, and order the cabinet to draft the decree. ”
"Thank you, Father!" Xiao Feng thanks.
Emperor Xia asked, "When are you going to leave?" ”
"Tomorrow!" Xiao Feng replied.
Emperor Xia nodded and said, "Okay, be careful on the road!" ”
"Yes!" Xiao Feng pursed his lips, feeling Emperor Xia's concern, his nose was sour, and then he asked for his resignation.
As an emperor, when there are many heirs, it is impossible to level a bowl of water. What's more, Xiao Feng deliberately hid his intelligence, and he didn't dare to get too close to His Majesty, so he didn't meet many times, so there was rarely a father and son between the two.
As a prince, why doesn't Xiao Feng want to be favored by His Majesty?
Cause and effect in the world, maybe that's it.
And when Xiao Rui and others heard the news, it was already the next day.
Jia Xu and Guo Jia gave a thumbs up, and Jia Xu said: "The British Gonghuang Qilin is really not simple, he committed suicide to eliminate His Majesty's anger, and let Xiao Feng go to the border to make meritorious contributions, and fight for the position of the prince in a dignified manner." It's a pity that Huang Qilin will kill himself if he commits many injustices! ”
Guo Jia nodded and said, "Huang Qilin is calculating, but it's a pity... Although Xiao Feng is smart, it is too difficult to make a world by relying on military merits. ”
Xiao Rui said: "It's a little difficult, but the timing is just right." I heard that the letter of state has been sent to Zhao State, and Zhao Huang has not reacted for a long time, it seems that as the two gentlemen guessed, Zhao Huang is ready to play Yin! ”
Jia Xu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The prince of Zhao wants to keep his position as the crown prince, and he can't wait to provoke a war, once the war spreads, it is impossible for Emperor Zhao to abolish the prince in order to stabilize the hearts of the Zhao army and the people." This time, the death of the king of Chu hit his heart. ”
Xiao Rui became interested and asked, "Then you say, where did Zhao Guo sneak attack?" ”
When Jia Xu and Guo Jia heard this, they looked at each other and smiled.
……
Outside Suining County, Xiangzhou.
In the past few months, the friction between Chen Qingzhi and Zhao Jun has become more and more intense, but almost all of them are deflated! Chen Qingzhi is in the big camp and can't lead the troops to attack, but there is Han Xin!
This just gave Han Xin the opportunity to exercise and make meritorious contributions, during this time he had honed the temperament of a talented general, and he had the momentum of a general in his gestures.
But in the past few days, Han Xin sensed that something was wrong with Zhao Jun.
The Zhao army still attacked the caravans and villages of Xia and Yan as usual, but they no longer loved to fight, and they did not have the previous impulse to fight when they got the opportunity, but had some restraint. Once he sensed that Xia Guo was coming to encircle and suppress, he immediately retreated.
They don't want to sneak attack, it's more like a show, so they don't want to sacrifice combat effectiveness.
What is the purpose of the performance? Naturally, he didn't want to sacrifice his combat effectiveness, but he also wanted to accumulate strength and attack suddenly!
So Han Xin directly found Chen Qingzhi and said, "Lord Commander, I suspect that the Zhao army is going to attack the whole army!" Just these days! ”
Chen Qingzhi immediately sat up straight and said, "The information sent by Mr. Fengxiao has really come true, and the Zhao army will sneak attack us!" ”
Han Xin said with a smile: "Looking at the border between Xia and Zhao, we are the only ones here who are soft persimmons, and we have just been stationed here. Moreover, Zhao Guo is also going to attack Yan State, according to the speculation of Mr. Fengxiao and Mr. Wen He, Zhao State must have colluded with Wei State and attacked Yan State back and forth! ”
"Han Xin, when do you think the Zhao army will attack?" Chen Qingzhi asked.
Han Xin calculated: "Zhao will let other armies approach Chang'an and make an illusion of attack, so that Chang Shenghou will be more vigilant, so as to strengthen the control of the northern and southern defense lines. Subsequently, Wei Chiyong, who was stationed in Tongshan, sent troops north and pretended to attack from Miaozhou. Miao Zhou is between Xiangzhou and Chang'an, and it seems most reasonable to attack Xia from there, after all, it will take several days for Chang Shenghou and us to support. Once we plan to support Miaozhou, it will be the time for Wei Chiyong to attack. In my opinion, the military reports from Miaozhou and Chang'an are about to be sent. ”
To the north of Xiangzhou are Chenzhou, Sangzhou, Miaozhou, Lanzhou, Zhenzhou, Chang'an, although there are five states between Xiangzhou and Chang'an, but the straight-line distance is only 3,000 miles. In addition, all states have guards stationed in the army, and once the troops are raised, the commanders of the commanders of the envoys can directly gather troops for defense.
Therefore, even if the army of Zhao really attacked from Miaozhou, it would be blocked by the army of the guard, and when the time came, the soldiers from other places would come to the rescue, which would be enough to resist the invading army.
Chen Qingzhi's calculation is the same as Han Xin's.
Sure enough, in the evening, an urgent military report arrived.
Chang Shenghou, who was stationed in Chang'an, sensed that Zhao's 100,000-strong army was approaching Chang'an, and Chang Shenghou ordered the northern and southern defense lines to be on standby.
Early the next morning, Wei Chiyong's army really set out, and it seemed that 50,000 people were going north, looking at the same situation as Han Xin guessed.
On the same day, Chen Qingzhi also transferred 20,000 troops to the north, and that formation was to support Miaozhou.
And the result of Chen Qingzhi's transfer of troops was immediately detected by the scouts of the Zhao army, and he immediately reported to Wei Chiyong.
After hearing this, Wei Chiyong laughed.
He deliberately sent troops north, just to make a good show, 50,000 troops went north in a circle, and when the time came, only 10,000 people continued to go north and made a movement to attract the scouts of the Xia Kingdom, and the remaining 40,000 quietly returned, and then acted as planned!
Let Chen Qingzhi drink a pot!
