Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Fall of the Skies 2
The young Xiang Liang at the head of Xiangcheng beat the drum with tears, hundreds of miles away in Chengyang, Pan Wuming, who was stationed here, also stood at the head of the city, he was not beating the drum, but watched the Qin people withdraw in disbelief. The soldiers around him cheered, and the Qin army attacked the city more than a dozen times in the past six months, but they were all repulsed by them. In the warm and warm spring, the spring of the recovery of all things, and the spring of a hundred flowers blooming, the Qin army finally retreated.
"Order!" Pan Wuming didn't dare to be sloppy at all, he snorted, and all the military leaders around him bowed down to obey the order. "The scout cavalry followed the Qin army, and depending on where it retreated, it would report back every ten miles."
"Yui!" The cavalry general Pan Yan answered in a loud voice, and then hurried down the city and led his subordinates out of the city to explore the enemy. The horses have not galloped for half a year, and as soon as they leave the city, they will shout and shout, and they are very happy.
"General, this matter should be reported to the Yingdu Da Sima Mansion as soon as possible." The general next to him suggested. The retreat of the Qin army is a major matter, and whether it is true or not, it should be reported to the Great Sima Mansion immediately, so that the Yingdu court can understand the movement of the front line.
"Report." Pan Wuming nodded. "This matter was reported to Yingdu quickly, and it was said that the Qin army retreated suddenly, and it is not clear whether it is true or not. Ma Gu also sent someone to report it. ”
Pan Wuming led Cai's division to garrison Chengyang, Xiang's division to garrison Magu, and Chengtong Yuxian as a backup. When the Qin army retreated, it should not only notify Xixian and Yingdu, but also inform Magu. Speaking of Ma Gu Pan Wuming's huge head, he shook his head helplessly, before the Qin army had blocked both ends of Ma Gu, fortunately, there was no shortage of grain in the valley, otherwise Master Xiang would starve to death. The valley road with no people and narrow roads, I really don't know what the Great Sima Mansion is going to do.
The Qin army attacked the city, and the surrounding flying poles were all destroyed, but fortunately, the signal soldiers hidden in the dense forest could read the flying news from Chengyang City, and after riding dozens of miles on a fast horse, the message was quickly transmitted to Xi County. The message is a clear code, and when the whole city of Xixian County is jubilant, the message is being transmitted to Yingdu one station at a time. In Jiyi, more than 100 miles west of Chengyang City, the return convoy of Chu State, which had been running for a long time, fell into a panic:
Before dawn today, the order of Jiyi came to tell him in person, saying that the king had ordered the withdrawal of the army. After that, he asked Qu Sui to mourn, saying that the city of Chencheng was broken, and the Wei State made people kill the king of Jing compared to Ziji.
When Qu Sui heard that the royal city had been broken, he felt that his head had been slashed, and then when he heard that the king had fallen, the whole person trembled uncontrollably. However, according to the ceremony, he still politely sent the Yi Ling away, and then he couldn't help crying. The king descended from heaven to save the state of Chu, but the king and tens of thousands of generals were martyred in the border city, and this day did not bless Chu.
Although Qu Sui's cry was soft, the servants and soldiers in the convoy still heard it, and when it was dawn, they also began to cry, and then bowed to the east. Mi Xuan has been sleeping lightly for the past few days, when Cui Sleeve, Xiu Zhu and others got up when they heard the sound, she sat on the bed and cried for half an hour, and it was okay for others to be incomforted, and she threw herself into Cui Sleeve's arms and cried.
"I believe it! I believe in it! I believe in it! Ahhhh......h
The daughters have accompanied Mi Xuan into Chu, the relationship between the son-in-law and the king of Chu, Xiuzhu and these girls still don't understand, but how can someone like Cui Sleeve not know? The king of Chu is young, but his gestures and words are no different from adults, and his love for his son-in-law is even deeper. It's a pity that he fell into the battle array.
Mi Xuan cried, the servants and soldiers cried, and Mi Qian and the concubines who accompanied her also wept, especially a few young women, who cried the most miserable. However, she wiped her tears while crying, got up and got out of the car in everyone's surprise, and when she arrived at Qu Sui's car, Qu Sui, who had tears on her face, hurriedly got out of the car to greet her.
"Doctor Qu," Mi Qian suddenly bowed to Qu Sui, "Mi Qian is disloyal, please ask King Qu to return to Xianyang." ”
After listening to her, the tears fell again, and she only said: "How can Princess Qi be disloyal, this great loyalty." However, the Qin palace was sinister, and the king of Qin was moody, so he entered the Qin palace as the queen, and he could not survive the mother country. ”
"I did my best." There was no sadness on Qi Qian's face, only an indescribable indifference. Brother Wang has died, and the state of Chu may be in chaos, even if the king of Qin lets her return to the country, she will not be able to return to the country, let alone ......
"Yes." Looking at Mi Qian, who had made up his mind, Qu Sui immediately bowed to her heavily, and when he got up after worshipping, Mi Qian had already gone.
In the mourning of the women, she said loudly: "Don't cry anymore, since the King of Qin has withdrawn from the army, I will return to Xianyang with my promise." ”
"Return to Xianyang?!" The crying suddenly stopped, and then the women howled louder, and a young concubine said loudly: "King Qin killed the king, how can the princess marry him again?" ”
"Chu and Qin have made a promise first, and now that the King of Qin has withdrawn, I naturally want to return to the Qin Palace and tell the King of Qin about the temple." Mi Qian repeated the previous reason, and there was no expression on her face.
"Go! I, Mi Xi, would rather die than marry a Qin person. Mi Xi was still crying, she glared at Mi Qian, as if it was the first time she knew her.
'Smack! The slap was slapped on Mi Xi's face, the slap Mi Xi was nothing, the slap Mi Xi felt no pain, the two looked straight at each other, and then Mi Xi suddenly laughed, she smiled: "Cheap!" ”
'Smack! She slapped her again, but she still laughed, "A slut is a slut." I swear not to share the car with a slut. ”
Mi Xi got out of the carriage after saying that, Mi Qian's face was flushed, and she looked at the concubine in the car: "If you don't want to go back to Xianyang, you can get off here." ”
No one got out of the car, they were all concubines of the princess to marry, and they would marry whoever they married, and everything was up to them.
"Since you want to return to Xianyang with me, then don't cry anymore, I am already the wife and concubine of King Qin, and I have nothing to do with my mother country." Mi Qian admonished. At this time, an exclamation suddenly came from outside: "Come on...... Come! The son-in-law and the son-in-law are in the sword. ”
"Wait for the king!" Flags fluttered outside the city of Jiyi, countless servants and soldiers bowed to the ground, and Zhao Zheng, the king of Qin, came. Instead of looking at the subjects bowing in front of him, Zhao Zheng's eyes only looked at the convoy of Chu not far away, and he came for this.
"Then the minister bowed to the king." With a stumbling background, Qu Sui finally came to Chang Qi, and unlike the Qin people, he was just a salute.
"King Qu can know that the widow has ordered the Qin army to retreat." The sun spread on Zhao Zheng's young face, and he was smiling.
"The minister knows." Qu Sui responded in a low voice, without the slightest sadness.
"That being the case, Princess Qi should go back to Xianyang with the widow to sue the temple." The smile on Zhao Zheng's face was even bigger.
"Yes." Qu Sui replied in a low voice, without looking at Zhao Zheng.
"The widow will also make a bloody alliance with the new king of Jing here, and the two countries of Qin and Chu will fight since then, and they will be reconciled forever. Later, Jiyi will also be given to Jing Guo as a dowry for Princess Qi. Zhao Zheng's words were full of lofty gifts, and what disappointed him was that he did not bow to himself with great joy or deep respect for himself, he was still lying there, motionless.
Zhao Zheng was a little displeased: "Doctor Qu doesn't want Qin and Chu to stop fighting?" ”
"Definitely." The rickety resignation finally moved. "However, the widow is newly mourned, and the ministers mourn."
"If King Jing hadn't been against my Great Qin and the widow, why would this be the case." Zhao Zheng said with disdain, the Qin State is the overlord of the world, and anyone who dares to go against the Qin State is a dead end. "However, King Jing fought in Chencheng, and the few people heard about it and respected his heroics. Therefore, the widow ordered Zuo Prime Minister Chang Wenjun to enter Yingying to mourn and go with Dr. Qu. ”
Zhao Zheng decided to withdraw at the beginning of the month, and Chang Wenjun would have entered the Yingshang alliance with the two countries as a Qin envoy, but now that King Jing has fallen, Chang Wenjun will naturally mourn the first king in addition to discussing the Qin and Chu alliance, and wait for the new king to ascend the throne. Hearing Zhao Zheng's words, Qu Sui couldn't help but glance at Chang Wenjun, and then bowed his head and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the king." I hope that Chu and Qin will never attack from now on. ”
"Hahahaha...... great goodness." Zhao Zheng laughed loudly, and he admonished again: "Remember! The new king should also marry the princess of Qin, and must not marry a Qi girl. When the widow heard that Yin Zhaoyun had ordered him to cut 600 li of land to Qi, he begged the king of Qi to send 100,000 troops to save Chen Cheng, but the Qi people did not save him. Therefore, the widow is willing to send 200,000 troops to help the new king of Jing to fight together and avenge King Jing. As for the Wei ......, because of the obstruction of the Wei Prime Minister Bang Ziji, the 200,000 Qin troops in Chencheng could withdraw in a few days, and the dispute between Jing and Wei after that had nothing to do with our Great Qin. ”
"Vazi?" Qu Sui's heart was full of bitterness, and he admonished: "The widow is newly mourned, how can he move troops again." ”
"Then it's not too late to attack the country again next year." Zhao Zheng was not reluctant, and the matter of cutting Qi was naturally written into the alliance, if Chu did not cut Qi, Qin would have to cut down Chu. "Doctor Qu will return to China on the same day. The widow still has a family ......"
Qu Sui heard the words and retreated, and when he turned around, he saw Mi Qian and also saw Mi Xuan, the difference was that Mi Qian had no sadness on her face, and Mi Xuan had her hair in a messy bun and burst into tears. He sighed and walked away.
"The concubine pays a visit to the king." Qi Qian smiled and bowed to Zhao Zhengsu, her complexion was already white, and when she smiled at this time, her face was even more dazzling.
"Mi Xuan meets the king." Mi Xuan didn't want to come, she was escorted by two palace maids.
"Concubine Ai has suffered all the way, and the widow has ordered someone to punish the officials along the way." Zhao Zheng didn't look at Mi Xuan, but only looked at Mi Xuan with a smile.
"The concubines please thank the king, but the officials along the way are loyal to the king, and they do not treat the concubines harshly, please don't punish the king." Qi Qian's eyes flowed, and Zhao Zheng was stunned for a while.
Others are just that, and Mi Qian also ate yam and drank soup with everyone, he was naturally furious when he heard it, and at this time he saw that Mi Qian was unharmed, and his anger stopped for a while. "Since the queen interceded, the widow spared them death." After saying this, he glared at Mi Xuan again, "Mi Xuan has become a widow's concubine, but he deceived the widow and went out of Xianyang privately, what crime should you be guilty of?" ”
"Mi Xuan only wants to die." Mi Xuan bowed down, she mourned more than her heart died, and she was bent on death.
"The king," Mi Qian said busily. "If Wuxuan's sister enters the palace, there is no reason for the concubine to marry into the Qin palace. Nian Xuan's sister promoted the marriage of Qin and Chu, and the concubine asked the king to die around her. ”
"Please give the king death." Mi Qian pleaded, but Mi Xuan was desperate.
"Since the queen pleaded...... "Thinking of the Empress Dowager, Zhao Zheng was helpless." The widow will spare you death. You go to Huayang Palace to serve the Empress Dowager. ”
