Chapter Twenty-Four: The Chincha
Although Zhao Huan tried not to put his emotions on his face, Chun Yunian could still see that this person was always worried about the war in the northwest, and Ouyang Jie went to Nanhuai to transfer troops, and it had been more than 20 days, and there was no news to Beijing. He had lost a lot of weight from the war before, and now he was even more emaciated. Chun Yunian felt distressed, so he didn't toss him anymore, but he couldn't sleep well.
"Da Sima has sent someone to cut off the fortresses of Qishan and Nanhuai, Your Majesty doesn't need to worry too much." Chun Yu Nian comforted.
Hearing that Zhao Qian had entered Qishan County, Zhao Cang sent Zhao Qian to Linguan as soon as possible to prevent Zhao Qian from colluding with Zhao Dang.
Zhao Huan sighed, got up and walked towards the corridor, and said in a deep tone: "If King Nanhuai has the intention to rebel, a military talisman may not be able to mobilize Nanhuai's soldiers and horses, and it may take the life of the envoy." ”
What he was worried about was Ouyang Jie's safety, or whether the talisman would fall into Zhao Dang's hands.
Chun Yu Nian got up and stood beside him, it had just rained last night, and the humidity was slightly heavier, she looked at the water droplets on the lotus leaves in front of the corridor, and smiled as if she remembered something, "Your Majesty didn't send someone to protect Lord Ouyang?" ”
"He has about 20 people with him, and if there is a real accident, it will be difficult to deal with it."
"Your Majesty should not act so negligently."
"Huh?" Zhao Huan frowned and was puzzled, "Why do you say this?" ”
The breeze blew a pool of spring water, she glanced at him and looked at the newly grown lotus leaves in the pond, and said with a smile: "Last year, the concubine entered Beijing, because the mountain flood washed away the official road, so she changed to a small road, but I don't know whose way it was in the way, and she was chased and killed overnight, and the rain that night was much heavier than last night." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Huan's face stiffened, and he couldn't speak for a while, but Chun Yunian still smiled and said: "If it weren't for the second brother's desperate protection, I'm afraid the concubine wouldn't be able to see His Majesty." ”
"You know everything?" He was a little embarrassed on his face, but he also knew that he couldn't hide it.
Chun Yu Nian didn't answer his words, and said to himself: "The bandits that night were really fierce, if they could get the help of such a green forest hero, Lord Ouyang should not have to worry about his life." ”
He looked at the person in front of him, sighed and said, "The people are sent to follow, but there has been no news for a long time, I'm afraid there will be more than one luck." If the talisman falls into Zhao Dang's hands, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
"King Nanhuai is old and frail, he can't pose a threat at all, what I'm afraid of is the prince, once General Zhao can't hold the pass, there may be a situation that His Majesty doesn't want to see."
Zhao Huan frowned and thought about it, "Uncle Huang should also know the importance of this pass, and he will not take it lightly, besides, the pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is impossible for the two to unite in a short period of time." But as soon as you reminded me, I remembered that Zhao Guan, the son of Nanhuai, fell out of favor because of his stepmother's slander, and was sent to Huyang to guard, and the most favored was Zhao Xun, who was born after him, and the two brothers were not a foot of cloth and a bucket of millet. [From the "Historical Records": "A foot of cloth can still be sewn; A bucket of millet is still acceptable. The two brothers are incompatible. ”]
Hearing this, Chun Yunian suddenly laughed and blessed him, "Your Majesty is wise!" ”
Seeing this, Zhao Huan couldn't help laughing, reached out and scratched her nose, "I haven't said anything yet, where is the wisdom?" ”
"There are things that can be done, but you can't say them, you say yes, right?" She looked at him and smiled.
She smiled slyly, her lacquered eyes were full of her own reflections, and Zhao Huan couldn't help but be a little scared, not daring to think about what would happen to her now if she died at that time? Maybe it will be even more unsatisfactory, saying that he may not marry that fool named Chun Yuxi.
He reached out and touched her face, smiling gently, "Those who know me, Huai Siye." ”
……
However, he said that Ouyang Jie had traveled all the way to Nanhuai, and he immediately expressed his intention and transferred soldiers and horses from the county to support the front-line war. Zhao Dang promised to be happy, but said that the soldiers and horses had been sent to guard the mountain passes in Nanhuai, and it was difficult to gather for a while, and he also allowed the envoys to stay for a few more days.
Ouyang Jie, the temperament of Nanhuai, understands something, and of course understands what he said. He put the teacup on the table, raised his head and arched his hand: "Your Highness, the war ahead is urgent, and now we are just waiting for your order, if the war is delayed, you and the ministers will not be able to bear this responsibility." ”
"The envoy is serious," the man standing on the lower left side of Zhao Dang said with a smile, "This transfer of troops is not a move to play chess, it is said that it will move, and Nan Huai bears the heavy responsibility of guarding South Vietnam, if the troops are transferred back to the city and let the seven departments have a chance, can the consequences be affordable?" ”
Ouyang Jie looked at him with an unkind face, "Dare to ask who Mr. is?" ”
Zhao Xun bowed, "Under Zhao Xun." ”
"Oh, it turned out to be the second son, disrespectful and disrespectful." He got up and returned the salute, "If you don't know anything below, please ask your son to give me advice." ”
"Your Excellency is polite, just ask." Zhao Xun stood with his hands in his hands, looking calm.
"Whose world is it?"
"The Emperor's World."
"Whose ministers are we?"
"The Emperor's Minister."
"Who is the emperor of the Dayong Dynasty today?"
"Your Majesty's honorable name, we dare not call it directly."
"What is the current emperor of the Yong Dynasty?"
"Qianyi."
"Are we the ministers of Emperor Qianyi?"
"Yes."
Ouyang Jie walked up to Zhao Xun and his son step by step, and looked at his father and son with cold eyes, "Since you are the ministers of Emperor Qianyi, why don't you obey Emperor Qianyi's orders!" ”
"Lord Ouyang has trespassed!" Zhao Xun grabbed Ouyang Jie, who had already walked to his father's side.
Ouyang Jie glanced at him, shook him off fiercely, and said to Zhao Dang with a fierce gaze: "This official is ordered by the emperor to come to transfer Nanhuai soldiers and horses with a military talisman, and anyone has no choice but to block it under any excuse, if there is disobedience, there will be no forgiveness!" As he spoke, he drew the saber at his waist and stood on the table, the sharp blade glowing with a faint cold light.
Seeing this, the two entourages who followed Ouyang Jie in immediately drew their swords and quickly landed on the neck of Zhao Xun, who was about to draw their swords.
Zhao Dang was shocked by Ouyang Jie's momentum, his body couldn't help but lean to the side, and his face tried to remain calm, "Presumptuous!" ”
Ouyang Jie sneered and stood up straight, "Your Highness, is this order passed on by you or by the minister himself?" The threat of these words is very strong, and the so-called envoy personally sent the order, which means that the king of Nanhuai is dead.
Zhao Dang couldn't help him, waved his sleeves fiercely, and sat up straight, "Pass the order, quickly mobilize the soldiers and horses in the county, and gather at the school tomorrow!" At all passes, in addition to the necessary guards, hurry to Duanzhou! ”
Duanzhou, the location of Zhao Cang's army.
The guards led by him got the order and quickly retreated, and Zhao Dang waved his hand and let the others retreat.
Ouyang Jie withdrew his sword and clenched his fists to apologize, "The minister is offended." ”
Zhao Dang snorted coldly, got up and brushed his sleeves away. Zhao Xun glared at Ouyang Jie fiercely and went with his father.
He glanced at the father and son in disgust, turned to his entourage and said, "Go back to the post house." ”
……
At noon the next day, Nanhuai's 50,000 soldiers and horses were assembled in the school field outside the city, and Ouyang Jie held the talisman on the high platform to point the troops, "I am the envoy appointed by His Majesty, and I have a special talisman to support the northwest war, and there must be no mistake in setting off on the same day!" ”
"No!"
"Let's go!"
The army suddenly dispersed in an orderly manner and headed in the direction of Duanzhou, and dust suddenly rose on the sand of the school grounds. Zhao Xun watched the army go away, turned to look at Ouyang Jie, and stepped forward and said, "I heard that the adults are going to leave Nanhuai today?" ”
"The war is urgent, and I don't dare to stay longer." Ouyang Jie said.
"The rebels are only tens of thousands of horses, how can they stop the tiger and wolf army of the imperial court, adults don't need to worry too much, it's not too late to rest in Nanhuai for a few days before setting off." Zhao Xun kept it again and again.
"The general's good intentions are understood, and he really dare not disobey the emperor's orders." Ouyang Jie politely refused again.
Zhao Xun, the general of Nanhuai.
Hearing this, Zhao Xun sighed, his tone was quite regretful, "Since this is the case, it is not easy to keep it in the future, my lord has a smooth journey." He clasped his fists and saluted.
Ouyang Jie also returned the salute, "The general will stay here, and I hope you will apologize to His Highness for offending His Highness yesterday." ”
"It's a trivial matter, adults don't have to mind."
"Then I'll leave it at that."
"Slow down, adults."
Zhao Xun watched Ouyang Jie's carriage go away, and couldn't help sneering: "What's the matter!" As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves back to the city.
……
Nanhuai Wangcheng is located in the north of the county, and more than 100 miles to the north is Nanyang. When he arrived in Nanyang, Ouyang Jie relaxed a little, and the reason why he didn't dare to stay in Nanhuai anymore was that in addition to the emperor's order, he was more worried that Zhao Dang's father and son would attack him, and once the talisman fell into his hands, he would be unable to escape the blame.
At this time, it was getting late, and it was raining heavily and he couldn't catch up with Nanyang City, so he could only rest at the post station. The post station is very simple, with two entrances and two exits, and it is crumbling in the wind due to disrepair. The postman led everyone to sit down and hurriedly said, "Adults, you can rest first, and the little ones will bring the food."
As soon as Ouyang Jie sat down, he heard a miserable "squeak" from the old wooden bench. He was speechless in his heart, this Nanyang is a rich land, how can this post station be in tatters? He breathed a sigh of relief, for fear of collapsing the broken stool.
At this time, there was a commotion outside the door, Ouyang Jie raised his eyes, and saw more than a dozen people coming from outside the door, shouting loudly to the postman, and the rain-soaked clothes and utensils were casually placed under the counter, blocking the way to the front hall. The postman hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, so carelessly.
"Where did these people come from? Looks like I know you well. The attendant asked the postman who was going to eat.
"The retainers of the He family in Nanyang, I heard that the grain, grass and other materials for this war were all purchased and escorted by the He family." Postman Road.
"Isn't this purchase and escort a matter of the army? How can you get a civil society organization to do it? ”
"You don't know this, this He Clan, He Clan's way, sometimes it is more secure than the army escort." The postman said with his eyebrows fluttering, praising this He family to his gods.
Ouyang Jie smiled, what is the way is not the way, this He family is clearly a black and white profiteer. It seems that the rule of Nanyang has to be rectified. He looked up at the group, and one of the people in the crowd looked at him.
The four looked at each other, and the other party just smiled, and was taken to the backyard by the postman to rest.
Ouyang Jie secretly raised his eyebrows, can this person who runs the rivers and lakes be so clear and beautiful, with white skin and thin skin?
