The city of Wuzhou was broken, and the people of Guanzhong rushed to celebrate each other, but the palace of Jinling was surprisingly quiet, because the women in the palace knew that a big war was brewing outside the city of Wuzhou.

A carriage stopped outside the palace, and a middle-aged woman in a blue checkered gown walked down from the car, and under the guidance of the palace maid, the middle-aged woman came to the front hall, and bowed slightly to the woman sitting in the room with a smile, "The folk woman Yao Huang has seen the princess!" ”

Zhen Niang stood up, gently dragged Yao Huang's arm, and said with a smile, "There is no need for such a big gift, my sister has come from afar, she must be tired, and she has prepared a room in the West Courtyard, and I hope that my sister can take care of it for a few days." ”

"Princess Xie!"

When Yao Gu asked her to come to Tongzhou Mansion, she was still worried, but after seeing the princess today, she was also a lot more relieved. The princess is so kind and elegant, presumably His Royal Highness the King of Jinling will not be bad, right? In big things, Yao Huang doesn't know much, she and Yao Gu met in their hometown Jinxiang County, both of them were not very good, Yao Gu was still a fisherman next to Zhaoyang Lake at that time, her family was poor, she didn't dislike it, so Yao Gu has always treated her very well. This time, she asked her to come to the Tongzhou capital, and she didn't ask too much, and some things she wouldn't understand if she heard them, but looking at Man Chun's expression, it didn't seem to be too easy this time.

After letting the maid lead Yao Huang down to rest, Zhen Niang brought Ying Wan over, and the two sat in the hall and talked about something, "Sister Su, I don't know anything about this court, if there is anything, I have to trouble you to help get an idea." ”

"Don't worry, princess, this is natural, as for His Royal Highness, there is no need to worry too much, I have come over all these years, I have never seen any danger, if I lose this time. It's nothing more than death. Again. As long as His Highness is safe. The three states in the house are in hand, and the imperial court doesn't dare to do anything about us, but we have to be more careful of those who have ulterior motives, some people in the first market are saying that His Highness is going to rebel! ”

"Huh?" Zhen Niang looked at Sakura with some confusion, isn't what His Royal Highness is doing to rebel, and she is afraid that others will say it?

Seeing the blank look on Zhenniang's face, she knew that she didn't understand, and Sakura said with a smile. "That's the case, a few days ago, someone said that His Royal Highness has more mansions, and he wants to take refuge in the Western Xia people."

"Oh? Anyone else says that? What about Sister Cui, shouldn't you just leave this matter to her? ”

Listening to Zhen Niang's words, Sakura nodded lightly, "It's only fitting that the person who arrested the rumors was handed over to Sister Cui, but there are some things that have to be done by the princess herself, and now that Her Royal Highness is not here, the princess is the one who can win the trust of the people in Guanzhong the most." ”

Zhen Niang frowned slightly, she was not really stupid. It's just that because of my background, I'm not very sensitive to this kind of thing. Now after a reminder from Sakura. I also understand a little that the people of Guanzhong don't care too much about the struggle for imperial power, as long as they live well under the rule of His Royal Highness, they don't care whether they rebel or not. But if you want to take refuge in the Tangut people, it will be a different scenario, the land of Guanzhong, especially the people in the north of Yongxing Military Road and Qinfeng Road, will suffer from the poison of the Tangut people in two or three years, so the people of Guanzhong can be said to hate the Tangut people to the core. It can be said that whoever wants to take refuge in the Western Xia people will definitely not be able to gain a foothold in Guanzhong.

Thinking through the joints, Zhenniang smiled gratefully at Sakura, Sakura didn't say it explicitly, but also to save some face for her, if everything has to be said clearly, wouldn't it seem that she, the princess, is too useless?

"Sister Su, please make arrangements, let's go to Wuliu Temple in the next two days!"

Wuliu Temple, also known as "Guanzhong Seventy-two Zhuangshi Temple", the first year of Shaosheng, the Xixia broke the Ningbian army, straight into Xianning Village, Tongzhou, this time the Xixia soldiers burned and looted in the same state, the people of Xianning Village Ning Qinghu led a total of 72 people in the village, ambushed two hundred Xixia soldiers on the high slope of the north of the village, that battle, Ning Qinghu and his subordinate village Zhuang were not spared, and the Xixia soldiers also suffered heavy losses, had to retreat, in order to commemorate the 72 village Zhuang of Xianning Village, the people built the Wuliu Temple on the high slope. It was this incident that Emperor Zhezong Zhao Xu ordered to terminate the peace talks with the Western Xia, and since then he has sent troops to continue to conquer the Western Xia, until the Western Xia people beg for peace with the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhen Niang wants to worship Wuliu Temple as a princess, and then who dares to say that His Royal Highness wants to take refuge in the Xixia people, and the princess of Jinling personally visited the strong men who fought against the Xixia people, hasn't she already expressed her attitude?

Zhen Niang can figure it out, Sakura Wan is also happy, she got up with a smile, and said kindly, "Don't worry, princess, this matter will be arranged by me, there have been many things in the house recently, and the princess should also pay more attention to rest." ”

"Hehe, thank you Sister Su for your concern, can you be tired no matter how tired Your Highness is?"

Zhen Niang misses that man, her biggest wish in life is to conceive a child, but she can always get together less and leave more with His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness is not bad for her, as long as she is in the same state, half of the ten days will be in her room, but her stomach is not angry. If His Royal Highness is really gone, and he has not left him a man and a woman, then he will not be able to close his eyes even if he dies. Zhenniang misses her man, but that man is far away in the city of Wuzhou, waiting for a big war to come.

Wuzhou City, the battle clouds are thick, and under the seemingly calm, everyone knows that in the near future, the Khitans will attack with all their might. Knock knock, there was a knock on the door, Ah Zhu walked over and opened the door, only to see Qian Lin standing outside. Qian Lin's expression was a little strange today, he smiled at Ah Zhu, and looked in on tiptoe, "Little lady, is Your Highness here?" ”

"Yes, General Qian, do you have something important?" Ah Zhu looked up and down with a pair of bright eyes, and she didn't understand why Qian Lin was so weird, so she shouted inside, "Your Highness, it's General Qian!" ”

In the study, Zhao Yougong was making a sand table with the help of Mu Wanqing, listening to Ah Zhu's words, he shouted and laughed, "It's Qian Lin, let him in." ”

Soon Qian Lin entered the study, after he bowed, he found a chair and sat down, Qian Lin's eyes rolled wildly, his buttocks did not sit firmly, his mouth trembled, and he seemed to have something to say. Seeing Qian Lin's appearance, Zhao Yougong felt funny, put down the matter in his hand, and said with a smile, "General Qian, you are also a well-known man, how can you talk today?" ”

Being told by Zhao Yougong, Qian Lin frowned, as if he had made up his mind, and arched his hand, "Your Highness, come here today, the last general has something to ask you." General Yao Gu was stationed forty miles south of the city. General Yao. The original intention was to help His Highness defend Wuzhou City. It's just that I don't know what His Highness thinks, so he wrote to ask the last general to ask first. ”

"Huh?" Zhao Yougong couldn't help frowning, Yao Gu wants to help guard Wuzhou? Before Zhao Yougong could reply, Ah Zhu, who was standing next to him pouring tea, couldn't help but snort coldly, "General Qian, why are you like this?" That Yao Gu is Tong's confidant, you let him enter Wuzhou. What if he had two hearts? ”

"This" Ah Zhu said Yao Gu speechless, Qian Lin trembled for a long time and couldn't say anything, because what Ah Zhu said was the truth, who didn't know that Yao Gu followed Tong Guan to conquer Western Xia back then, and he could be described as one of the few fierce generals in Tong Guan's hands. Now His Royal Highness is obviously doing a rebellious business, and Tong Guan is the minister of the humerus of the official family, isn't it a big risk to accept Yao Gu? The most important thing is that His Highness has a good idea of how to hold Wuzhou. It seems that he has already made up his mind, and he has no plans to ask for any more reinforcements.

Azhu has become more and more powerful over the years. A girl, but she speaks and acts more neatly than Sakura, Zhao Yougong smiled bitterly, and said angrily at Azhu, "You girl, you just talk a lot." ”

was glared at by Zhao Yougong, Azhu didn't dare to say more, just pouted and stood next to Sanniang, but the wooden woman was very idle, as if she didn't hear what a few people said, and still fiddling with the sand table by herself.

Qian Lin waited for Zhao Yougong's answer with trepidation, in fact, he already had the answer in his heart, in terms of His Highness's situation, he didn't need to take too many risks at all, but he was reckless, and he didn't even take Yao Gu's identity into account. In short, whatever decision His Highness makes, he can understand.

After a while, Zhao Yougong smiled faintly, and asked leisurely with his hands behind his back, "General Qian, what do you think of Yao Gu?" ”

"Although General Yao is arrogant and upright, there is no shortage of a good general, this person is straightforward, not like a villain, whether he has the heart to submit to His Royal Highness, the last general does not know, but this desire to help defend Wuzhou will definitely not be fake. Therefore, according to the meaning of the last general, it is better to let General Yao enter the city first, and the last will be the head of the head of the Xiang as a guarantee, and General Yao will never do that villainous act. ”

To Qian Lin's surprise, Zhao Yougong nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, this king will believe General Qian, send someone out, and let General Yao lead the troops to enter through the West Gate!" ”

Zhao Yougong said sincerely, not as if he was cheating, Qian Lin was grateful, and said, "Thank Your Highness for your trust!" ”

After leaving the General's Mansion, looking at the Shuanglong military flag at the head of the city, Qian Lin felt a wave of admiration in his heart. His Royal Highness is only twenty years old, but his heart is so broad-minded, if he were a different person, I am afraid that Yao Gu would never be allowed to enter the city.

Does Zhao Yougong need Yao Gu's people? Of course, there are more than 20,000 people in our hands now, and in the face of the future dilemma, why is it bad to have more people? But he won't show it, he needs Qian Linji's favor. As for why you have to enter from the west gate, there is also a reason, in the past two days, Wuzhou City has strengthened its defense, and Liu Kuang, a defensive giant, has launched a ruthless attack, directly welding the three gates in the southeast and north, and there is only one west gate that can be passed.

In the south of Wuzhou City, an army of more than 6,000 people was stationed on the grassland, in fact, Yao Gu had already arrived yesterday, but he did not go further, but contacted Qian Lin first, in Wuzhou City, there were only Qian Lin who had some friendships. As for Han Shizhong and Gao Chong, he had heard of it, and when these people led the Dingguo Army with His Royal Highness, they were also prestigious, but unfortunately they had only heard of it, and they had not really acquainted with it.

Man Chun didn't understand why he was stationed here, it was more than forty miles away from Wuzhou City, and if the Khitans suddenly killed him from the east, he would suffer.

"Big brother, why don't we just go directly to Wuzhou City and call for the city gate?"

"Man Chun, why are you still so reckless? Have you forgotten who we are? We were the vanguard army under Zhang Jun before, and Yao had done something under Tong Shumi, as we all know, Yao had a close relationship with Tong Shumi, and now His Royal Highness is not allowed by the imperial court, do you say that if you are Your Highness, dare to let an army of more than 6,000 people enter the city? Wait, let's see what Qian Lin has to say. ”

After listening to Yao Gu's explanation, Man Chun still snorted a little angrily, he didn't understand, they were all well-known men, all for the sake of fighting the Khitans, why were there so many twists and turns?

Just as he was pondering, more than a dozen knights appeared in the north, and those knights rushed straight towards the camp, and the war horses rushed to the camp gate, and there were already soldiers with guns to block them, and asked loudly, "Who is it?" ”

Qian Lin frowned, put away the horsewhip, and shouted, "Go and sue Yao Bodang, just say that the high favor under the command of King Jinling and Qian Lin came to pay a visit!" ”

As soon as he heard that Gao Zhong and Qian Lin had arrived, the soldier didn't dare to slack off, explained a few words to a few people next to him, and ran into the camp as if flying, and it didn't take long for Yao Gu to stride out. When I came to the camp gate, I saw Qian Lin at first sight, and beside him, there was a black-armored general, who had thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, and his momentum was extraordinary.

"Haha, it's General Gao and General Qian who have arrived, Yao has not greeted him from afar, and I hope I don't want to blame!"

Gao Chong saw that Yao Gu was so bold and not a yin villain, so he had a good impression, and he arched his hand and said, "General Yao is polite, Gao and General Qian came here on the order of His Royal Highness to take General Yao and his sons into the city." Due to the special shape of Wuzhou, His Royal Highness cannot come, and I hope that General Yao will forgive me. ”

Listening to Gao Chong's words, Yao Gu was still a little confused, and His Royal Highness agreed so readily? Not only that, but he also sent the first brave general of the Dingguo Army, is he not afraid of defecting? Isn't he afraid that he will be tied up with a single order? (To be continued......)
