Chapter 452: Wait for the trumpet to blow
Since ancient times, good things have not gone out, and bad things have spread thousands of miles.
After Ye Wendao ordered his henchmen to spread the news that Concubine Hui Niangniang had been kidnapped by Xiao Rui, the prince of Xia Kingdom, one night later, the next day became the focus of after-dinner discussions between the people and the powerful.
If there is big data collection, I believe you will find that the most common words in the discussion are mostly concentrated in:
"", "It's too fierce", "It's really fake", "How is it possible"!
Of course, there are many more beautiful topics that need to rely on your own imagination, because they are too sensitive, and no one dares to discuss them in private.
Like what:
"What may happen between the crown prince of Xia and the princess of Qi country!"
"The story of the imperial concubine of the Qi Kingdom and five or six thousand men from the enemy country walking together!"
……
The thoughts of the people of Qi are endless, and they are full of associations, although this matter is a shame for Qi Guo, but it can never stop the gossip of the people.
In addition to the hot discussion of this matter, Xiao Rui, the prince of Xia State, has also become a popular focus, some time ago, there were merchants of Xia Kingdom who came to the imperial capital of Qi State to do business, brought "Journey to the West", this Xiao Yan's divine book can be sold well in Great Xia, and the popularity in Qi State is naturally not reduced, but because the number of books is small, people can't buy it if they want to, so it has not formed much heated discussion, but the name of the holy monk Xiao Qirui is also known to the upper class.
Now that this kind of thing has happened, Xiao Rui's reputation has skyrocketed.
And with the in-depth investigation, Xiao Rui's identity was also revealed, he turned out to be the grandson of Prince He, and he had the blood of the royal family of the Three Kingdoms!
So, Concubine Hui is still the aunt of Prince Xiao Rui?
Damn, the bloody plot has started again.
Then the people began to fantasize wildly:
"The story between the imperial concubine's aunt and her nephew, the crown prince..."
"On how ugly my uncle's face will be..."
"My aunt is so charming..."
…
In one day, Xiao Rui's name resounded throughout the imperial capital of Qi.
When the news reached the palace, Emperor Qi was so angry that he broke all his beloved handles, and yelled: "Xiao Rui, I am inseparable from you!" ”
The roar was very terrifying, and it was said that when the old Qi Emperor died, this big filial son did not cry so loudly.
At the same time, the spies of various countries planted in the imperial capital of Qi State passed on the situation, especially the spies of Xia State, and spontaneously developed a sense of pride.
The prince is a cow!
……
Xiao Rui naturally didn't know about the farce in the imperial capital of Qi, the matter of Jinzhou was transmitted back to Kyoto, and then the order of the Emperor of Qi spread throughout the southern prefectures and counties of Qi, at least four days, during these four days, Xiao Rui and Zhang Liang led the iron dragon to go west, and they had already passed Jianchang and approached Pingquan. The whole territory of Pingquan is full of mountains, and between the winding and undulating mountains are valley basins of different shapes and sizes, which is beneficial to the whereabouts of Xiao Rui and others, and can be hidden, but it also affects the speed of the march.
And when passing by Jianchang, Xiao Rui's whereabouts were exposed, and they were tracked by the Qi army, fortunately, there was Yang Yuji, who secretly hid and shot the tracking spies, so that their whereabouts were not completely exposed, but I believe that the news has spread to Pingquan and Chengde, and the prefectures and counties to the west must have heard the sound, and fortified at the intersections of various official roads!
Xiao Rui dared to lead people into the Qi country, relying on the mobility of the cavalry and the inconvenient information communication in ancient times, but once the other party knows your whereabouts, even if they don't track them, they only need to fortify at various intersections, cut off your way and way, and wait for you to take the initiative to appear and throw yourself into the net. If Xiao Rui didn't make this big show in Jinzhou, their whereabouts might not be exposed, but Xiao Rui didn't regret it.
Looking back at Yuan Yuan, the imperial concubine of Qi State, I saw that she had taken off her women's clothes and put on men's clothes, although her face was a little dusty, it was difficult to hide her charm. Her hands were tied, and Xiao Rui was leading another horse, on which she happened to be sitting.
Yuan Yuan was secretly fortunate that she had martial arts, so she was proficient in horse riding, so she could ride alone in these three or four days, otherwise, she would have to lie on Xiao Rui's horse honestly, which would be even more shameful for her!
The experience of these few days made her desperate, she understood that even if she returned to the imperial capital, she would be ruined, the queen's slut would put herself to death, and His Majesty's favor for herself would also turn into hatred! As the emperor of the Qi Kingdom, would he believe that a beautiful woman who was taken captive would be innocent?
And she is indeed innocent.
Although Yuan Yuan hated Xiao Rui, she also had to admire Xiao Rui's character.
He didn't treat himself as a trophy to violate himself, nor did he treat him as a plaything for others to hurt him, on the contrary, he was still very concerned about his own situation, and he would joke with himself, he kidnapped himself, to some extent, he kidnapped the imperial concubine of Qi State, it was this identity, not her Yuan Yuan! If she wasn't the imperial concubine of the Qi Kingdom, she wouldn't have been harmed in any way.
Who called the current Great Qi and Xia Kingdom enemies, this is not a personal grudge, but a national war. So after Yuan Yuan figured it out, he still admired Xiao Rui's personality.
At this time, they were resting in a basin surrounded by mountains.
Yuan Yuan sat there resting, quietly watching Xiao Rui and a few people chatting not far away.
"Your Highness, we don't have much food and grass, and we must replenish it in Pingquan." Zhang Liang explained the situation.
Xiao Rui looked at the map and said: "There are only forty or fifty miles left from Pingquan City, let's send scouts first, it is estimated that there are soldiers guarding each intersection, robbing the woman of Emperor Qi, it is strange if he doesn't go crazy, it will inevitably let the army set up layers of blockades." ”
Zhang Liang said with a smile: "My subordinates have already sent scouts, Your Highness is right, this time he slapped Emperor Qi in the face, he would rather stop the war with Great Xia than let us go." ”
"Shall we rush out?" Dian Wei asked, he had been killing all the way, and he had long since stopped taking the soldiers of Qi State in his eyes.
Xiao Rui shook his head and said: "There are still five or six hundred miles away from the border pass between Great Xia and Qi State, not to mention that we lack food and grass supplies for the time being, it is such a long distance, Qi State has set up at least five blockade lines, and if we can break through the first one, we will drill into the layers of encirclement until we are completely trapped." After all, we only have five or six thousand people, and the Qi army and the Yuan army at the border of Qi are hundreds of thousands! ”
Although the Iron Dragoon is brave and good at fighting, Xiao Rui is not arrogant and thinks that the Iron Dragoon is invincible.
It's been nearly half a month, and the soldiers of the Iron Dragoon are already very tired, they are not iron men, they are all ordinary people with flesh and blood.
"What then?" Dian Wei looked worried, but then, he looked at Li Yuanfang and Yang Youji, but found that their faces did not change, and he couldn't help asking, "Why aren't you two worried at all?" Is there something you're hiding from me? ”
Li Yuanfang aimed at Xiao Rui and Zhang Liang with his eyes.
Dian Wei touched the back of his head, not understanding.
Yang Youji said with a smile: "Your Highness and Mr. Zifang must have an idea, let's just fight." ”
When Dian Wei heard this, he smiled awkwardly, "Yes, why am I still a strategist." ”
When everyone heard this, they all laughed.
Regarding the current environment and the situation they are facing, Xiao Rui and Zhang Liang do have a plan.
When he first entered the Qi State, he was preparing to go around to Miyun, that is, the back of the Qi army and the Yuan army, and attack inside and outside with the champion Hou, so that the Qi army and the Yuan army suffered a heavy price, thereby causing a sensation and improving the morale of the army and the people of Great Xia.
However, everything is changing, and you have to change your strategy as things happen.
Now Xiao Rui doesn't need to take the iron dragon to kill Miyun at all, because the sensation he has caused along the way is already very extraordinary, what he has to wait for now is just time to brew, so that this sensation can be transferred from the detonating Qi country to the Xia country, which can also improve the morale of the army, the people and the morale of Great Xia!
Put yourself in your shoes, as the soldiers and people of Great Xia, when they knew that the prince of their country led the soldiers to kill the Quartet in the Qi country, eliminate the Qi army, annihilate the Yuan army, and more than 5,000 people caused the death of 50,000 or 60,000 people in the Qi country, and even captured the concubine of the Qi country, making the Qi emperor lose face, isn't this kind of news enough to make them excited?
It's not just exciting, it's going to boil!
Therefore, Xiao Rui doesn't need to go to Miyun, the reason why he is still going west now is to create an illusion for Emperor Qi, that is, Xiao Rui's purpose is still Miyun, or to attack the Qi army and the Yuan army.
This kind of illusion will make Emperor Qi busy and arrange his own position, and what Xiao Rui really has to do is just find supplies and wait steadily.
Who are you waiting for?
When the news spread throughout Great Xia, and Great Xia boiled over, the military morale of the soldiers under the command of the champion Hou reached a peak, while the Qi army and the Yuan army were humiliated and the military heart failed, when the other side was eliminated, the counterattack of the champion Hou will begin completely!
Zhuge Yuanxiong is the champion Hou, and the three armies of the Yongguan are not called in vain! He actually confronted the Qi army at the border for so long, which was a shame for him! So, his horn is ready and waiting for the day when it is sounded!
Therefore, Xiao Rui and Zhang Liang are not in a hurry at all, now their biggest trouble is supply, as long as they find it, then the intricate mountains here are the best place for them to hide.
.....
Yuan Yuan kept staring at Xiao Rui, and found that he had not solved the concerns raised by the strong man, and she was also very curious, the situation of this group of people was not good now! His Majesty will set up layers of defense, let alone attack, they can't escape, why is Xiao Rui still with a bamboo expression in his chest?
Before Xiao Rui ordered Dian Wei, Li Yuanfang, and Yang Youji to make a fire and cook, he didn't say anything about his schemes, so Yuan Yuan couldn't hear it.
And at this moment, Xiao Rui actually walked over.
"Concubine Hui, looking at your expression, it seems that you are very concerned about our movements?" After Xiao Rui arrived, he sat next to her.
In order to avoid it, Yuan Yuan moved a little and said, "You are already in a catastrophe, don't I care?" Also, please don't call me Concubine Hui! ”
The title of Concubine Hui has always been called by His Majesty, and now that she is called by Xiao Rui, she sounds extremely unpleasant.
Xiao Rui nodded and said, "Then I'll call you Yuan Yuan, it's also kinder." ”
Yuan Yuan immediately glared at him and asked, "Why do we have to be cordial?" We are enemies! Attention King Xian! ”
Xiao Rui asked rhetorically, "Are you sure?" Even if I let you go, do you think you can still go back to the Qi Imperial Palace? Can Qi still tolerate you? Even if you go back, you will definitely enter the cold palace, and you will never be able to turn over. So, have a good relationship with me, and in the future, you may be able to rejuvenate the second spring. ”
Yuan Yuan glared at him and gritted her teeth.
His own situation is all his fault, and now he is asking him, how can he be so shameless!
Yuan Yuan closed her eyes hatefully and simply ignored him.
At this moment, an iron dragon rider came to report, saying that he found a lake not far away, very clean and clear, Xiao Rui was overjoyed, and hurriedly took people to the lake, and it was really a good place with beautiful scenery.
Then, he ordered the Iron Dragoon soldiers to take off their heavy armor and jump into the lake in batches to bathe, and the fatigue on the way west was exhausted, and when everyone had washed, it was already dark.
The scouts came back one after another and told Zhang Liang about the situation around them.
Xiao Rui was thinking about things, only to see Yuan Yuan hesitate, and only after a long time did he come over and whispered: "King Xian, there is something I want to ask you for help!" ”
Xiao Rui came back to his senses at this time, looked up at Yuan Yuan, and asked, "What did you say?" ”
Yuan Yuan's courage to finally mention it was suddenly gone, and she hurriedly turned around and went back, and hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay..."
Xiao Rui didn't understand the situation, so he suspected that her eldest aunt was here?
