In fact, at this point, there is no need for this conversation to continue, and the situation in front of the governor is already clear: Handan will inevitably be lost, so the next stop, to attack, must be Baoding Mansion. This matter was very urgent, and he made a hurria to the imperial court on the one hand, and began to count the strategic materials of Baoding Mansion on the other hand. I don't know if I don't know it, but I'm shocked when I count it. The material warehouse of Baoding Mansion was empty. The governor couldn't help but laugh: "Where are the weapons in here?" And what about the storehouse, grain and grass? The old man in charge of the warehouse trembled, fell to his knees and did not move, and did not say a word. The governor was about to jump up angrily: "Someone! Put him in prison for me, and don't let him die if he can't vomit out the real thing!" ”

After some severe torture, the old man couldn't bear it and relented. It turned out that these little officials in charge of the warehouse joined forces, and seeing that the world had been peaceful in the past few years, and no one cared about the weapons in the warehouse, they joined forces and sold the weapons to the troupe, the hunters, and the gunpowder in the shells were sold to the fireworks factory.

Unexpectedly, the major matter of life and death was actually defeated in the hands of the old man who guarded the door, the governor sighed again and again, and the reinforcements of the imperial court were delayed, this battle, can it be fought? How long can Baoding Mansion last? He looked at his staff: "Go and get the soldier who came to tell the news." ”

Royal Palace, Imperial Garden

The empress found the emperor in the newly built plum garden who had not eaten or drunk all day, and he sat decadently on the steps, looking at the scene in front of him, without saying a word. It was cold in the late autumn, and she put on clothes for him: "Your Majesty." He looked up and looked at her, "Queen, you're here." She nodded, "The concubine saw that His Majesty had been worried about state affairs all day, and she didn't eat or drink, so frightened that the palace people thought that she had done something bad, and knelt outside for a day. The emperor smiled bitterly at her: "You see, the palace people have made mistakes, kneeling for a day, it's a big deal to atone for the crime with their lives, what about me, I am now suffering from internal and external troubles, the ancestors' rivers and mountains have been destroyed in my hands, and the historians have criticized me for writing and writing, and I can leave a stench for 10,000 years." "The stench has been left for 10,000 years, and the concubine is also accompanied to the end." "Hmm~" The emperor hugged her into his arms, "Listen to this." ”

Back in the dormitory, the queen repaired a letter and gave herself a prayer for herself who was far away in the grassland, hoping that he could persuade the Great Khan to stop the sword soldiers, and also hoped that his old man would not work too hard and pay attention to his body. When the letter reached King Chang's hand, he didn't know that his actions had already attracted the attention of the Great Khan. Lao Chang Wang received his daughter's letter, his heart was full of emotion, he fought all his life, only this daughter under his knees is all kinds of love, for fear that she will receive a little grievance, see her write a letter, know in her heart that she is wronged, anxious and angry, the idea of admonishment.

Although he has been running around for Mongolia for half his life, although he is loyal to the steppe, but this is the country of the Great Khan after all, and King Chang's small actions have not escaped his eyes, this hero can see King Chang's thoughts at a glance, he is old, and he wants to smooth the obstacles to the throne of King Khan for the crown prince, these brothers who accompany him to fight the world, Huaiwang thinks too much, and now, even King Chang has a small movement behind his back, old man, the Great Khan stroked his scimitar, I came to this step, you forced me.

When King Chang rushed into the Great Khan's tent with his own soldiers, he found that the tent was empty, and the Great Khan, who had just blown out the candles and was about to rest, was gone. King Chang shouted and hurriedly ran out of the tent, only to see a fire outside the tent but there was silence, and the Great Khan was watching him in the firelight: "King Chang, I know that you have always opposed the use of troops against the Central Plains, but are you so anxious that you want to kill me to prevent future troubles?" King Chang shook his head violently, "No, Great Khan, my loyal immortal heaven can see it!" I don't mean to hurt you. The Great Khan shook his head: "Until now, you still refuse to tell the truth, is it because the girl who married in the Central Plains wrote a letter to you, you decided to kill me, and you decided to betray your loyalty to me for decades!" ”

At this point, they tore each other's faces, and there was no need to say more, the Great Khan waved his hand, and hundreds of arrows fell from the sky, King Chang was killed on the spot, and then the Great Khan killed the killer, and more than 100 mouths of King Chang were sat together, and when the news came to Gyeonggi, the queen heard the bad news and fell to the ground on the spot. Since then, the Great Zhou Kingdom and the grassland have been completely at hostility.

Outside the city of Fuping, in the military tent, when the city was being attacked, Zhaoqian received a gift from the governor, inside was a human head, according to the person who came to deliver the letter, it was this person who sent the letter from Handan to Baoding Mansion, but the governor thought that everything in the world must be obedient to the righteousness, so he was willing to work with Prince Shen to seek a treacherous plan. The truth of this matter is unpredictable, and Zhaoqian is difficult to decide, so he summoned Xu Yuan and Ren Qiu, two generals, to discuss together.

At this time, it was the critical moment of the siege, the two were called back, they were a little reluctant, Zhao Qian looked at the two people covered in blood, pointed to the heads of the people on the table, and told them the ins and outs, and the expressions of the two changed a little at this time. Ren Qiu said: "The governor has always been greedy for money, and he has no real talent and learning in the three years he has been in office, but this person is a student of Prime Minister Mu Shuai, I'm afraid things are not so simple." Xu Yuan also nodded and said: "This journey is too smooth, I am afraid that there is fraud, I hope Your Highness will think carefully and don't act impulsively." Zhao Qian said: "Along the way, although we have attacked the city and plundered the land all the way, we are too tired, I think we should go and meet him for a while." ”

It's not that he is arrogant, but although the siege of the city and the land are smooth, there will be casualties in the battle, and it is normal for morale to be tired, Baoding Mansion is only three or four hours away from Gyeonggi, if you can take Baoding for a short rest and then try to Gyeonggi, then the chances of victory will be a few points greater.

Fuping is only a small city, and there are 2,000 guards in the city, who carried it for two hours, and the soldiers in the city died, and there was no bow and arrow in the city. Ren Qiu and Xu Yuan admired their fighting spirit and loyalty, but in the war, there was only victory and defeat, the city gate was broken, and Xu Yuan acquiesced to the soldiers burning and looting in the city, which was also a disguised reward. The crying in the city shook the sky, Xu Yuan couldn't bear to listen to it, so he waited outside the city. Ren Qiu is accustomed to seeing this kind of scene, "In the early years, when I was guarding the city in the north, the Kulun Banner was a lonely city, and the Mongols often came to harass, or there were attached small villages, and they were often plundered by them, and they were miserable, they often slaughtered the entire village because of their hatred of the Han people, even the children were not spared, I have seen such a tragic scene once, since then, every time I catch the Mongolian meticulous work, I no longer show mercy, not because I am ruthless, but I understand that war is like this. ”
