One hundred and sixty-two strike while the iron is hot
"Duke Chu wants to marry the clan relative Xiong Yue to the widow?"
Fang Li was quite surprised when he heard Jian Yong's report, and couldn't remember who Xiong Yue was for a while?
Jian Yong bowed his body, his face was filled with a hint of pride: "Exactly, this Princess Xiongyue is the cousin of Duke Chu, seventeen years old, born with a flower and moon appearance, and ice and snow smart. ”
"Xiong Lu's cousin, Princess Xiong's surname?"
Fang Li slowly put down the pen and ink in his hand, and secretly muttered in his heart: "Could it be the famous Empress Dowager Qin Xuan Miyue in history?" ”
In history, Mi Yue was also known as Mi Bazi, who married from Chu to Qin and became the concubine of King Qin Huiwen, and gave birth to Yingji, who later became King Qin Zhaoxiang. and became the first queen mother in history, controlled the government for a long time, and left a strong mark in history.
"If Jian Yong said that this Miyue is really the Empress Dowager Xuan in history, then the widow is simply lucky, although this Miyue is a little stronger, but it is a rare virtuous helper in a hundred years!"
Thinking of this, Fang Li's blood couldn't help but surge, and he asked loudly: "What other family members are in this Miyue family, and what is the relationship with the bear couple?" ”
Jian Yong bowed and replied: "Mi Yue's father, Xiong Yan, is Xiong Lu's cousin, and he died when Mi Yue was three years old, leaving behind the Lin family, Mi Yue, and Mi Shu's brothers and sisters.
And Lin's sister is Xiong Lu's mother, Concubine Lin, who married Mrs. Lin to Yingdu Ling Wei Weizhen after Xiong Yan's death, and gave birth to three Wei Ran sisters.
Because of the special relationship with the bear couple, this Miyue is respected as the Moon Princess in the Chu State, and it is said that she has a quirky temper and sharp teeth, and ordinary people in Yingdu dare not provoke her easily! ”
"Yes, it seems that this Princess Xiongyue is the famous Empress Dowager Qin Xuan in history!"
Fang Li almost laughed out loud after listening to Jian Yong's words, he wanted to marry Yu Ji back to the Tang Kingdom, but he didn't expect to turn back a Miyue, it was really "I couldn't find Yu Ji when I stepped on the iron shoes, and I didn't have to work hard to get Miyue", it was really not thin for God to treat himself!
After the joy, Fang Li remembered that Jian Yong hadn't mentioned Yu Ji yet, if it was because of Mi Yue, it was definitely not his original intention.
Although Mi Yue is good, but she can't forget Yu Miaoge, if you have to let yourself choose between Mi Yue and Yu Miaoge, you will still choose Yu Ji without hesitation!
"Jian Qing, this month's princess is good, but the widow wants to marry Yu Miaoge the most, didn't you convey the widow's meaning to Duke Chu?" Fang Li smiled, pinched his chin and asked in a deep voice.
Jian Yong said with a smile: "How dare the lord forget the lord's entrustment, the minister tried his best to explain to the Duke of Chu the determination of the lord to marry the Yu family, and finally persuaded the Duke of Chu to agree to marry the Yu family and Princess Xiongyue to Xingyang. ”
"Haha...... That's great! ”
Fang Li finally let out a hearty laugh this time, and high-fived and praised: "Jian Xianhe, you have made a great contribution this time, and the widow has decided to promote you from the acting secretary of the Ministry of Rites to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, I hope you will continue to work hard and bring Mi Yue and Yu Miaoge back to Xingyang." ”
"Thank you, Lord Longen!"
Jian Yong knelt and kowtowed, his gratitude overflowing, "Duke Chu said that Miyue and Yu will be married to Xingyang within three months, so please prepare the letter of appointment and send the six gifts to Yingdu as soon as possible, and marry Miyue and Yu Miaoge as soon as possible!" ”
After listening to Jian Yong's words, Fang Fang was on a whim, and ordered: "You go immediately to prepare the letter of appointment for six ceremonies, and the widow has decided to take advantage of the temporary stability of the country to go to Yingdu in person, and marry Miyue and Yu back to Xingyang as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night!" ”
"Obey!"
Jian Yong obeyed the edict and left.
In the early morning of the next day, Fang Li announced to the Manchu civil and military that he was ready to go to Yingdu in person and marry Mi Yue and Yu's decision, which won the unanimous support of the Manchu civil and military forces.
Xun Yu hugged the wat board in his arms and said loudly: "Tang and Chu have now become allies, the state of Chu has killed 100,000 soldiers for our Tang Dynasty, and the Duke of Chu is now marrying his clan relatives to the lord." It is also natural for the lord to go to Yingdu to marry and meet with the Duke of Chu. ”
Fang Li nodded: "Then it's decided, the widow will arrange state affairs with Jian Xian and go south to Chu State, and the domestic affairs will be entrusted to Xun Qing and Gongsun Qing!" ”
Xun Yu and Gongsun Yan made a promise together: "Lord, please rest assured that you will go south, and the ministers will definitely do their best and do their best!" ”
According to the scout's report, the 30,000 vanguard troops of the Chu army led by Xiang Yu have arrived in Luyang to set up camp, and Zhou Yu stationed in Wancheng is the horn of each other, while the 200,000 Qin troops stationed in Yique are still standing still, and they don't know what medicine is sold in the white gourd?
On the Yingdu side, Xiang Yan, the general of Chu, ordered Zhaoyang to be the vanguard, and led 50,000 soldiers and horses to arrive in Bowang County at noon yesterday, echoing Xiang Yu in Luyang County, waiting for reinforcements from other Chu armies.
With the passage of time, the 70,000 Chu army led by Xiang Liang and the 100,000 Chu army led by Dou Bobi gradually approached Wancheng, and the Chu army's strength in the territory of the Tang State became stronger and stronger, and it would soon reach 250,000 people.
In the next half month or so, the 100,000 troops gathered by Xiang Yan from the Chu State will also move north from Jiangxia County, and the Chu army near Wancheng will reach 350,000.
Coupled with the 35,000 Tang troops stationed in Wancheng and the 30,000 Tang troops stationed in Xingyang, the Tang and Chu coalition forces near Luoyang will exceed 400,000 at that time, suppressing the Qin army led by Bai Qi in terms of troops.
In the north, Cao Cao, Zhang Liao, Yingbu, Gao Shun and others led 60,000 Tang troops to garrison Jiangguan and Chiyang respectively, so that the Jin army filled 15,000 lives each under the two passes, and it was still difficult to surpass Lei Chi.
Seeing that it was difficult to break through the defense of the Tang army, the Jin Dynasty had no choice but to order the withdrawal of troops, preparing to take advantage of the time when Zhao sent troops to attack Wei, and sent troops across the Taihang Mountains to attack Handan, Changshan, Zhao and other areas, and came to encircle Zhao to save Wei.
It seemed that the Tang Kingdom was very safe in a short period of time, Fang Li dealt with all the things at hand, and took Dian Wei, Jian Yong, Zhu Rong and others to select 10,000 soldiers and horses to leave Xingyang, and went south to Yingdu along the post road to marry.
Before leaving, Fang Li summoned Xun Yu, Gongsun Yan, Ma Chao and others to the front and advised: "On the days when the widow is not in Xingyang, you Aiqing will have to worry a lot!" All political affairs were handled by Xun Wenruo and Gongsun Yan, and the military fell on Ma Mengqi and Li Mancheng! ”
"The ministers send the lord south!"
Xun Yu and the others kept sending Fang Li out of the twenty-mile road, and only then did they wave goodbye and watch the team go south.
Three days later, Fang Li led 10,000 Tang troops through Luyang, and 70,000 Chu troops led by Xiang Liang, the general of Chu, also entered Luyang to join forces with Xiang Yu.
When Fang Li learned of Xiang Liang's arrival, he led his troops into Luyang City, and sent envoys to the Chu army camp to invite Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew into the city as guests, and prepared a thin wine to entertain them as a landlord.
