Chapter 405: Sleepless Nights
Dugu Che saw that King Rui didn't answer, thinking that he had no countermeasures. Originally, the peace that can be exchanged for a woman is given to no one to think about it.
Women have always been a tool for political marriage, if anyone says that this is unfair, then they can only helplessly tell the other party, blame you for being born at the wrong time, and your fate is not good.
"This king knows that the people of Beiliang are chaotic, even if you don't mind being the father of this king's child, this king still dislikes you." Rui Wang said coldly.
Poof, Ling Xiao couldn't hold back ...... laugh out loud. This Beiliang Emperor is really shameless, he even rushed to be the father of other people's princes, and he was disgusted, the speed of this slap in the face is really fast enough.
"King Rui, you fought with Beiliang for the sake of a woman, how could those soldiers really work for you?" Dugu Che sneered.
"Then this king also wants to ask Emperor Beiliang, in order to rob this king's wife, you did not hesitate to make a big move, and also lost the lives of the two princesses, is it worth it?" King Rui is so tidy.
Hearing this, Dugu Che's face turned pale, not that he really cared about whether the two half-sisters really died, but that he didn't expect that King Rui would know about it so quickly.
This shows how well-informed the news of this wise king is. It's just that the news of the princess's death has not yet spread in the army, and he just wants to wait for this matter to spread so as to stimulate the fighting spirit of the soldiers.
I never thought that I was shaken out by King Rui at this time. Thinking of this, Dugu Che frowned slightly, "Jing Hao, pass on the order, no one is allowed to spread the conversation between me and King Rui today, it is best to rot in my stomach, otherwise, I will destroy his nine clans." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Obviously, Dugu Che's heart was empty, and he was worried that the soldiers would know about his despicable deeds, so he didn't allow anyone to spread it.
Originally, I wanted to see King Rui's jokes, but I didn't want to be turned against the army.
Of course, the news of Princess Beiliang's tragic death in Da Zhou has already spread, although the Bei Liang soldiers don't know what the status of Princess Bei Liang in the palace is, but how to say it, they are all their princesses of Bei Liang, both of them died tragically in Da Zhou, this must be Da Zhou's declaration of war on Bei Liang again.
"Your Majesty, you can't let the princess die in vain." General Mo in the army said hurriedly.
"General Mo, I didn't expect them to find the princess so quickly, the princess was a spy for the people of Beiliang, regardless of the danger, but I didn't expect that they would poison two weak women next time. I'm very sad, too. Dugu Che said with a distressed look.
When people who don't know the situation see it, they think that the relationship between their brother and sister is very good, but those who are familiar with the situation in the palace don't think so.
"Your Majesty, since they are so unkind, then we will fight with them, and we will kill their prince and sacrifice the flag." Another general surnamed Pu said loudly.
As soon as these words came out, the morale of the Beiliang army was greatly boosted, and after all the soldiers had dinner, they marched towards Tangting Pass at night.
At this time, Tang Tingguan is still hanging the war-free card, these days, Dugu Che can also be regarded as a gentleman, during the period of hanging the war-free card, although there are people to provoke, but there is no real siege.
Therefore, the guards at Tang Tingguan at night are not as vigilant as usual.
Tang Tingguan, Zhan Tianpeng had just finished inspecting the situation in the city with a small team of soldiers, and was about to go back to rest, but suddenly wanted to go to the city tower to go around.
So turned
It didn't matter, but I saw that there were dotted lights not far away, and they were approaching in the direction of Tangting Pass.
He has been in the army for many years, and he is very shrewd, and he immediately noticed that the three watchmen sneaked in the middle of the night, and they were friends and foes.
"Someone, go and tell the prince, just say that there is an enemy approaching Tangting Pass." Zhan Tianpeng said hurriedly.
Hearing this, the entourage immediately ran to the place where King Rui was staying. When the visitor saw that the light was still on in King Rui's room, he didn't dare to break in directly, so he had to stand outside the door and shout, "Lord Wang, when my subordinates were inspecting General Zhan just now, they found that the enemy army was coming towards Tangting Pass. ”
As soon as the words fell, King Rui and a few of his attendants walked out, and King Rui put on his cloak as he walked, and he had to go to the castle tower to have a look, so that it would be easy to deal with.
"Lord Wang, this Dugu Che is too discredited, let's still hang the war-free card, this is a provocative play during the day, and this sneak attack at night, it's really shameless." Ling Xiao puffed up.
"Does he have a face?" King Rui replied coldly.
Ling Xiao was slightly stunned, then understood, and said with a smile: "What the prince said is that since he is here, let's let him suffer a little." ”
Don't underestimate the enemy, this Dugu Che is different from the rest of the Dugu family, originally he was also an assistant to the prince, and he was able to kill the prince quietly, and he also gathered a large number of officials from Beiliang for his use, which shows that Dugu Che is not simple.
"Yes, lord." Ling Xiao said respectfully.
When he came to the city tower, King Rui saw that more than 100 miles away from Tangting Pass, there were many torches approaching. "Put the archers on guard, light the lights on the towers, and we'll wait for them to come." King Rui said in a deep voice.
About a stick of incense passed, and a team of people from Beiliang had already come to the city. The leader was Jing Hao, Jing Hao was slightly stunned when he saw that the lights on the city tower were bright, and King Narui was still sitting on it.
He originally wanted to come to sneak attack, but he didn't expect the other party to be so vigilant that he was waiting here.
"His Royal Highness King Rui, this is more exposed, why don't you rest, isn't there no one available in this Tang Ting Pass?" Jing Hao sneered.
"This king thought that Dugu Che was a man of his word, but he didn't expect to be a despicable villain. If it weren't for the vigilance of my Great Zhou's soldiers, how could this king be waiting here? King Rui said coldly.
"The prince misunderstood, tonight I just practiced the troops, and there was no intention of sneak attack, and besides, this training was the idea of the general alone, and it has nothing to do with our emperor, so don't misunderstand my emperor." Jing Hao curled his lips slightly.
"Are you a liar? Training? The training has all been carried out to the city tower of our Tangting Pass? The deputy general who followed Zhan Tianpeng said loudly.
"Hehe, this general is really funny, I heard that your Da Zhou is the most knowledgeable about etiquette, this prince and your general guarding the city didn't speak, but he exposed you, which really gave the general a new understanding of the military discipline of Da Zhou." Jing Hao said proudly on his horse.
The deputy general clenched his fists, but he blamed himself more in his heart, blaming himself for being too impulsive, otherwise, how could he be led astray by the words of this Beiliang general.
"It's good to get acquainted again, this king has always liked to protect his shorts, and you can go back and ask your emperor about this." Rui Wang said coldly.
If it weren't for the fact that there are a lot of wounded in the army today, King Rui would definitely not just fight with this Jing Hao.
Jing Hao raised his eyes, his eyes swept around the city tower, and found that there were already a lot of archers on guard, if he insisted on breaking in, then these people he brought with him would probably become hedgehogs.
Thinking of this, Jing Hao's gaze turned to the northwest corner of the city wall, it had been so long, and the signal had not come for a long time, presumably something must have happened, and tonight's action could not be carried out for the time being.
Just as Jing Hao was thinking about it, he saw that in the place where the Beiliang army was camped, many red wishing lamps slowly rose.
Seeing this, Jing Hao immediately arched his hand towards King Rui on the tower of the city gate and said: "Lord Wang, I also heard that Lord Wang Ye is a master of the art of war, so I came here with a small team of soldiers and horses, and I want to ask for your advice, but I didn't expect to make such a big misunderstanding, since this is the case, we are inconvenient to bother, so don't pass it over." ”
After speaking, Jing Hao turned his horse's head and ordered the soldiers to leave.
For Jing Hao's departure, King Rui did not stop him more, but what made him wonder why Jing Hao always looked at the northwest corner with his eyes, and then left after receiving Bei Liang's message.
So what was it in the northwest corner that made him pay so much attention? Could it be that they have a good work and want to sneak in while the night is dark?
But this matter doesn't make sense, if they say that they have a detailed work to get in, Jing Hao shouldn't go over there to check, as long as there is still time to do things according to the agreed plan, isn't it?
Could it be that he said...... "Mo Feng, Mu Bai, you two go to the northwest corner to investigate and see why Jing Hao always looks over there."
"Yes, lord."
Mu Bai and Mo Feng got up near the northwest corner, carefully inspected all the surrounding terrain, and then came back to report to King Rui.
"Back to the prince, I didn't find any secret passages in the northwest corner, but the half of the wall was a little low, and it wasn't difficult to get in," Mo Feng said lightly.
"The fence is low?" King Rui wondered.
This Tang Ting Pass is the location of the big perimeter, and it is definitely not easy for people to detect anything. But that Jing Hao is also a famous general in Beiliang, how can he easily show his feet in front of him?
Thinking of this, King Rui frowned, "What else was found on the northwest corner?" ”
"Back to the prince, there is a courtyard in the northwest corner, and it is the old man who pours night incense in this soup court. We also went to check on the outside of his house, and if it weren't for the fact that his dog barked so badly, his subordinates would have brought him to see the prince. Mo Feng said lightly.
In the northwest corner of Tangting Pass, there is just an old man who pours night incense in the city, and all this seems to be so reasonable, it is because all this is too reasonable that King Rui feels that this matter is problematic.
"Tomorrow I will inquire about the old man who pours night incense, this king always feels that something is wrong with this."
"Yes, my lord. Then do you want to send someone to guard tonight, lest the cell boss escape? Mo Feng asked.
"No need, if he is really a meticulous worker, before you can check it, the person has already fled, if there is no suspicion, then he will not make any moves."
"Yes, my subordinates will do it." Mo Feng said respectfully.
This is the first night that King Rui came to Tangting Pass after many years, and it stands to reason that he has repelled the Beiliang army here many times, but tonight he has insomnia.
It is precisely because of the concern in his heart that it is difficult for Rui Wang to sleep at night......
