Chapter 002: Princess of Yan Kingdom
Lian Feng glanced at several lieutenants behind him, and several lieutenants nodded to him, and then shouted as he ran along the team: "Soldiers, line up"
Zhang Yang, Lian Feng and others also came to the front of the army to wait.
After a while, the flag printed with the word "Yan" was the first to be printed in everyone's eyes, and then the Yan army, about 6,000 people, gradually appeared, and stopped in a formation about 500 meters away from them.
At this time, Lian Feng looked at Zhao Kuo and bent down and hugged his fists and said, "Fourth prince, we should send a ceremonial official to read out our emperor's holy decree, and then greet the princess of Yan Kingdom."
Where did Zhao Kuo know what holy decree to read, so he moved out of his amnesia and didn't remember anything, and ordered everything to be decided by General Lian Feng!
Lian Feng received the order, and then, an official of the Ministry of Rites of Zhao State came out of the ranks, followed by four soldiers, and a group of five people began to walk towards the Yan army.
When there were still more than ten meters away from the Yan army, he stopped, and the messenger took out the holy decree and shouted loudly: "On the order of our emperor, I have come to welcome the princess of Yan Kingdom, and the princess of Yan Kingdom will receive the decree."
In the team of Yan Kingdom, a road was awayed, a carriage slowly walked forward, stayed in front of Yan Jun, stopped, the maid next to the car opened the door curtain, and Princess Caidie of Yan Kingdom knelt upright on the carriage.
The official of Zhao State unfolded the holy decree with both hands at this time, and read it loudly: "My emperor has a decree, Zhao and Yan have been friends all the year round, and the princess of Yan Kingdom is specially welcome today...."
Seeing this, the four Zhao soldiers who followed behind him hurriedly drew their knives and looked around. Immediately after, several more arrows were fired, and the four soldiers also fell to the ground and died.
After Lian Feng in the distance found out, he hurriedly turned around and got on his horse, and shouted loudly: "The situation has changed, all the soldiers, prepare for war."
At the same time, the little eunuch Li Xuan also brought a horse and helped Zhao Kuo onto the horse.
"Fourth Prince, the situation has changed, for your safety, please go to the rear exit and wait immediately"
Zhao Kuo knew that he might be holding back here, so he nodded to Lian Feng and walked to the rear under the escort of a team of soldiers!
After Lian Feng saw Zhao Kuo leaving, he ordered loudly: "All the soldiers, line up, advance"
The soldiers in the front row held their shields to open the way in front, and the rows of soldiers slowly approached the Yan army.
At this time, the Yan army was also in chaos, and they didn't know who put the arrow and shot the officers and soldiers of Zhao State. But seeing that the sergeants of Zhao Guo had already lined up and approached, the generals of Yan State were also busy letting Yan troops line up to meet the enemy. Protect the princess's carriage in the middle!
When the Zhao army was still about fifty meters away from the Yan army, Lian Feng ordered the army to stop, and stepped forward and shouted: "My emperor and the Yan emperor have already made an agreement, and we are on the orders of our emperor to welcome the princess of your country, and you will shoot our officers and soldiers for no reason, what do you want?" ”
In the Yan army, after hearing this, a general replied: "Our army did not shoot the officials of your country with arrows, this matter was not done by our army, and your country should not frame and wronged our army."
"Our officers and soldiers were shot dead in front of the army, if Ruoer and others don't have a reasonable explanation, the soldiers of our Zhao State are about to rush over to avenge the dead."
"Don't deceive people too much, my Yan Kingdom is indeed weak now, but it doesn't mean that my Yan Kingdom can be framed by others, don't you think that the knives of my Yan soldiers are not sharp?" , and then the general of the Yan State shouted loudly: "Soldiers, prepare to meet the enemy"
Although the Yan State is weak, the Yan army is known for its fearlessness and has always been known for its bravery, so for hundreds of years, the weak Yan State has not been annexed by several other countries. However, in recent years, in the battle with the Xiongnu, the Yan army has been defeated repeatedly, I don't know whether the Yan army has become weak from strong, or the Xiongnu have become stronger and stronger!
At this moment, General Lian Feng also didn't know what to do, because a few officers and soldiers who were suddenly shot and killed took the liberty of starting a war with the Yan army, which was not what he or the emperor of Zhao was willing to do, after all, it was adjacent to the Yan country, and the two countries had not been at war for many years; But if it is not pursued, it will damage the face of Zhao Guo, so it is still difficult to fight or not to fight now, and it is also very difficult for Lian Feng.
At this time, Zhao Kuo was lying on the back of the horse, and the little eunuch Li Xuan was leading the horse in front, and he ran back quickly under the protection of a team of soldiers.
When he arrived in front of Lian Feng, Lian Feng had not yet asked why the four princes had returned, and Zhao Kuo spoke first: "General Lian Feng, the rear... There is an enemy attack in the rear, and it seems that they are going to completely cut off our way back."
Zhao Kuo's face turned even paler at this time, he saw the living person at close range just now and died in an instant, for him who came through, he was really scared enough, during the war years, human life was like a mustard, what he said was really right.
After hearing this, Lian Feng turned his head and asked a deputy general next to Zhao Kuo: "Is the attacking enemy the Yan army?" ”
"The attacking enemy is all dressed in black, and no flags have been seen, and it is unknown which country's army it is."
"How's the battle going now?"
"Fortunately, our army first ambushed the archers on the hills on both sides of the road, and when we protected the retreat of the four princes, the enemy was temporarily suppressed by our army, but I don't know how many enemies there are, so I don't know the end of the battle now."
"Did you send someone to Yanyun City to ask for reinforcements?"
"I've sent a few groups of people, but I don't know if I'll be able to get there"
After hearing this, Lian Feng nodded, then turned to the general of the Yan army and shouted: "You are treacherous, treacherous villain, and actually sent troops to raid the rear of our army, aren't you Yan Kingdom afraid that my Zhao Guotie will ride to level your Yan Kingdom?" ”
"You have repeatedly framed our army, do you really think that my Yan Kingdom is afraid of your Zhao Kingdom?"
Lian Feng pulled out the sword at his waist and shouted at the Yan army: "Soldiers, rush to kill the Yan army, capture the princess of the Yan Kingdom, return to Beijing and wait for the decision of our emperor, kill..."
Zhao Kuo saw that a big battle was about to begin, and hurriedly shouted: "General Lian Feng, stop the march first, we haven't figured out which country's army is the enemy attacking from the rear, maybe it's really not the Yan country?" ”
Lian Feng rode on his horse and hugged his fists and said: "The four princes, the big battle is imminent, there is no way to retreat, even if all our troops are killed in this battle, we must fight out the momentum of my Zhao Guonan, and please retreat first!" ”
"The whole army obeys the order and stands by in place" Zhao Kuo shouted loudly, my day, are the brains of people in this world so straight? Then he said to Lian Feng: "What happened this time is too strange, didn't General Lian Feng realize that this seems to be someone deliberately provoking our relationship with Yan Guo?" General Lian Feng, think about it, if we start a war with the Yan army, even if we win, it will be a miserable victory, right? So when the time comes, when our two armies fight and both lose, who will benefit the most? Who would like to see it the most? ”
"Huns"
"That's right, so I think it was the Huns who shot and killed our officers and soldiers, and it was also the Huns who raided our army in the rear" The reason why Zhao Kuo guessed so much was because of the history of his previous life, after all, there have been too many incidents in history to sow discord!
"However, our scouts did not find any Xiongnu troops nearby, how could their troops bypass the Yan Kingdom and reach our territory?"
"General Lian Feng, I remember Li Xuan told me that the Huns are good at riding and shooting, and they are also good at climbing mountains and mountains, right?"
"That's true, so the fourth prince, are you saying that the Huns came all the way over the mountain?"
Zhao Kuo nodded.
Lian Feng said thoughtfully: "If this is the case, then it is no wonder that our army scouts have not found anything, so what is good now?" The Yan army thinks that our army has repeatedly framed them, and they are also furious at this time, afraid that they are trying to fight with us."
"General Lian Feng, you and I will go forward, and the other soldiers will stand by"
"Fourth prince, no, if we guess wrong, everything is done by Yan Jun, then you will be more than lucky if you go, and the last general will not let you take risks"
Zhao Kuo waved his hand at him, "It's okay, General Lian Feng, the main enemy of the Yan army now is the Xiongnu, they still have to ask my Zhao State, and they still want my Zhao State to send troops to support them, unless it is absolutely necessary, the Yan Army will not go to war with us, Li Xuan, go"
Li Xuan led the horse in front and walked in front of Yan Jun with Zhao Kuo, and when Lian Feng saw it, he had to follow with his horse.
When he walked in front of the Yan army, Zhao Kuo shouted to the general: "This general, I am the fourth prince of Zhao State, the rear of our army is being attacked by an unknown team at the moment, the matter is urgent, please also ask the princess of your country to meet and discuss important matters."
After hearing this, several generals of the Yan Kingdom nodded to each other, and then someone ran to the rear to tell the princess.
After a while, another path was made in the Yan army, and the carriage in which the princess was riding slowly walked forward. After the carriage came to a stop in front of Zhao Kuo, the general of the Yan army shouted: "Please princess", and then the curtain of the carriage was opened, revealing the beautiful face of the princess of Yan Kingdom.
At this moment, Zhao Kuo saw this princess up close, his mind was blank for a few seconds, and he sighed in his heart: It's so beautiful, this face is really better than the stars in the previous life with makeup, the key is the princess of Yanguo's own temperament, dignified, and cold! She really deserves to be the princess of a country. This feeling is like being a dick in my previous life, and I saw the goddess I had loved for a long time, and it was beautiful and incomprehensible!
After Zhao Kuo lost his mind for a moment, he hurriedly said to the princess of Yan Kingdom: "Zhao Kuo of Zhao Kingdom, it is a great honor to have the honor to meet the princess."
Princess Yan Guo was still sitting in the carriage, put her hands on her waist and saluted back: "Four princes, Yan Ning is polite, what an honor Yan Ning has, let the four princes come to greet her" The princess spoke in a thin and soft voice, which made people listen very comfortably.
"Princess, the rear of our army is being raided by an unknown enemy in an attempt to cut off the way back for our army"
"The people who shot and killed the officers and soldiers of your country and raided your rear are not from my Yan country, presumably the fourth prince, you already know it in your heart, right?"
"Could it be that the princess thinks so?
"That's right, it is the Huns, the leader of the Huns, King Zuoxian, learned that I entered the Zhao country, in order to ask your country to send troops to help, so I arrived here thousands of miles to intercept you and me, Yan Ning guessed that the Huns wanted you and my two armies to be buried here, at that time, you and my father and emperor will mistakenly think that the other party is dishonest with each other, when the time comes, don't say that your country will not send reinforcements to help my Yan country resist the Huns, and may also send troops to attack my Yan country, I don't know if the four princes think Yan Ning's guess is right?"
Zhao Kuo nodded: "So although we are in danger now, I still hope that the princess can return to the Zhao capital with us, princess, please rest assured, my Zhao soldiers will definitely swear to protect the princess and your safety."
"Yan Ning is willing to follow the four princes to the Zhao capital," Yan Ning replied calmly.
