Chapter Seventy-Six: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell
To tell the truth, the Marquis of Jin also wanted to withdraw in his heart, but he felt that it was not righteous for his newlywed wife who left Tutu, so he simply stopped talking. The Son of Heaven, who had been watching from the sidelines, opened his mouth: "Uncle, don't worry, the widow has some ideas, do you see if this is the truth." ”
After all, Ji Yijiu has already secured the position of the Son of Heaven, and although he is the biggest hero, he also has to give some face: "Please make it clear to the king." ”
"My aunt is from the west, and I'm waiting in the east. When Master Rui was there, probably no one dared to do anything to her. If the guards had already arrived, her crossing Rui City would be like entering the den of tigers and wolves. ”
Digging Tu's heart trembled, and he thought to himself why he hadn't taken this into account: "Then what does the king think he should do?" ”
"According to the widow, you are fortunate to have passed Ruicheng in front of the Holy Sixth Division, but your aunt will definitely not be able to come. We should immediately send a brave man to lurk and persuade the Marquis to return before she notices. Ji Yijiu saw that the digging was moved, so he continued to persuade, "As for us, it is better to retreat east immediately." ”
"In the land of Wangji, the Marquis of Wei is rampant, and the dogs are in chaos, where can Ji Jiang, a weak woman, hide?" I was in a hurry, and my tears were about to fall. He finally cultivated a little relationship with Ji Jiang, and he had to face life and death. When I think of my promise to protect my wife, my heart is like a knife.
"Uncle Zheng, don't worry, Ji Jiang can go back to his home country Shencheng first. The widow's Shen Shi is more than enough to protect her. Besides, our retreat to the east is only an expedient measure, and within half a month, you can lead your army back to kill. As long as Weihou is done, the reunion is not a trivial matter. ”
He felt very disgusted when he looked at Shenhou's face that didn't care about his daughter's safety, but he couldn't think of a better alternative.
The Marquis of Jin on the side couldn't help it, and came over to persuade him together: "Uncle Zheng, this can only be the case at present." Or, do you think about some clever plan? ”
Digging Turf sighed, "Let me think about it for myself." ”
Shenhou wanted to persuade again, but was stopped by Jinhou waving his hand. Zheng Guojun and his ministers went to the water's edge to "stroll".
The place where the excavation is located, the left pillow Weishui, the right by the Yellow River, the only part bordering the plain was urgently dug by the Jin Marquis a deep ditch. The Jin army of thousands of people is entrenched in such a small triangle. Although this site is not said to be impregnable, it can rely on fortifications to resist the enemy for a while, and then you can take the ships to escape at any time, which shows that the military ability of the Marquis of Jin has two brushes.
However, this is also a double-edged sword. It is this layout that causes Ji Jiang who came to converge to have only one side to go. The enemy had already been stationed a few hundred meters outside the trench and blocked the entire edge.
After digging out the whole situation on horseback, he was even more desperate in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Your Majesty, there's really no other way?" Jing Sheng, who had been following him, asked.
Du Tu shook his head: "The widow thinks about it, there is really no better way than Ji Yijiu." ”
"Then you can send your ministers, and you must send your wife to Shencheng safely." Jing Sheng took the initiative to ask.
"Cut, under the nest, will there be no eggs? What ability does his little Shen Guo have to protect himself? "This is actually what I really don't worry about. Shen Guo didn't even have the ability to settle Ji Yuchen alone, and that little broken force couldn't even do a small detachment of the Holy Sixth Division.
"Then there is no place in Wangji where you can live?"
Digging pondered the question in his head. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and remembered an "honest man".
"There you go. You take Ji Jiang to Qin Xianggong! ”
"Who?"
"Oh, it's Yingkai, the doctor who raised horses." Dig Tu and forget that he can't "predict" other people's nicknames.
"Why?" Jing Sheng was puzzled.
"Yingkai has been fighting against the Rong people for a long time, and he is still very combative. Don't forget that the last time Ji Yijiu wooed him, Wei Hou was actually nervous for a while. ”
"But didn't he later part ways with Shenhou and Ji Yijiu?"
"That's Wei Hou secretly making things bad, bullying people to be honest, and using the reason of Qin and Rong people's feud to provoke the relationship between him and Ji Yijiu." Dutu explained, "Yingkai doesn't have any fancy intestines, and he originally advocated supporting Ji Yijiu according to the etiquette law. After Wei Hou got in the way, he only remained neutral. Now that Ji Yuchen is dead, there is no reason why he should not return to our side. ”
"I understand." Jing Sheng hugged his fists and said, "It's just, what should I do if Yingkai is disobedient?" ”
"In today's world, although the royal family is in decline, the residual power is still there. Except for the angry Wei Hou, no one dared to treat Zhou Tianzi as a child's play. So you look at Rui Bo, at first he was still aggressive, but once he learned that Ji Yuchen was dead, Ji Yijiu straightened up, and immediately threw a rat bogey. So once you know what happened here, so do the Qin people. The widow will let Ji Yijiu directly give you an order to take it with you, and ensure that Yingkai will bow down and obey orders. ”
"No!"
Boom~ At this moment, another wave of broken ship pieces went down the river. Seeing this, he felt that time was pressing, and hurriedly rode his horse back to the military tent.
"You've figured it out?" When Shenhou saw his son-in-law coming back, he was full of smiles.
"Yes. The widow sent Jing Sheng to persuade Ji Jiang to return. "Please send an envoy to negotiate peace with Rui Bo." ”
"Why is that?"
"As soon as I came to cover Jing Sheng, let him pretend to be an entourage, as long as he mixed up with the defense line, he could immediately leave the team to save Ji Jiang. The second is to paralyze the other side and buy time for us to board and retreat. ”
"It's still Uncle Zheng who thinks thoughtfully." As long as Shenhou agreed to retreat, he was happier than anything else.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have one more thing to ask for." "Please draft an order to order Dr. Xizhui to be controlled by Jing Sheng to help quell the rebellion of the Marquis." ”
"What are you doing with the horseman?" The Marquis of Jin, as a Chinese prince with strong roots, also looked down on the semi-barbaric Qin people in his heart.
"Uncle Zheng must have his own reasons, why do you care so much?" Shenhou, who was timid and afraid of death, couldn't wait to run away immediately, how could he still think about the intention of doing so.
As a "prophet" of the crossing, he didn't bother to explain it to them. After Ji Yijiu's edict was written, he hurriedly sent Jing Sheng out of the camp. Before leaving, he instructed: "After seeing Ji Jiang, remember to tell her not to be afraid, I will send someone to pick her up as soon as possible." ”
"Your Excellency, please rest assured, the minister will definitely bring it."
"You must walk along the foot of the mountain on the north side of Wangji, and stay away from Weishui on the south side, so as not to meet the Holy Sixth Division. If you encounter something on the road, you will immediately escape into the mountains to take refuge. In addition, after arriving in Qin, he immediately took the edict of the Son of Heaven to Ying Kaixiao and seized control of the Qin army. After connecting with the spies in the division, listen to my will and find a way to contain Wei Hou in the rear. ”
"Whoa!" Jing Sheng saluted seriously, turned and mounted his horse, and galloped away in the direction of the sun's sinking west.
This situation reminded Dutu of the past. Back then, he and Zhong Ji had just had some feelings, and they were forced to separate due to the war. Even the scene where Jing Sheng went to save Ji Jiang at this moment was the same as when Nie Rang went to save Zhong Ji.
Thinking of this, Zheng Bo, who was already anxious, cast another shadow on his heart - the tragedy of Nie Rang and Zhong Ji will not be repeated in Jing Sheng and Ji Jiang, right?
For this thought, Dig Tu really wanted to slap himself in the face. Zhong Ji just had a good impression of him back then, but Ji Jiang planned to make a promise from the beginning, and he suffered a lot for this. Thinking about the warm time when he was newly married, thinking about the chastity vow next to his pillow, how could he still be so suspicious of Ji Jiang?
Thinking of this, the young Zheng Bo suppressed the unconfidence hidden in the depths of Di Qing's heart. He straightened his waist, straightened his clothes, and went back to the military tent to command the world's major affairs.
On the same day, as soon as Chang Gengxing showed his face, the Jin army began to quietly board the ship in batches. They lit torches and smoke, and until everyone had retreated, Master Rui didn't notice. It wasn't until the next day that Rui Sima reacted and hurriedly chased after him. However, even though the peach blossom flood has subsided, they have drifted dozens of miles downstream.
When the news came, Rui Bo was not only not in a hurry, but relieved. After so many twists and turns, he was tired of it, and he wished he could get out of this trouble as soon as possible. The person who was really anxious at the moment was Wei Hou, who fainted immediately after learning the bad news.
This time the blow was very heavy, until all the Holy Sixth Division arrived in Ruicheng, and Wei Hou had not yet woken up. Wei Neizai and St. Sima were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, at a loss for what to do in front of the sickbed.
"Lord Nezai, you don't think it's a problem for us to spend time here."
"I can't help it, why don't you send someone to ask for Ji Yanggongzi?"
"When will that have to wait? Besides, how can Ji Yang have the ability to control the situation? Saint Sima's eyes rolled, "Or?" Let's call the shots, let's get back as soon as possible. ”
"I think so too, it's better to send you back to recuperate......
"Cough cough cough ~ cough cough cough ~ cough cough cough ......" Suddenly, the cough sounded loud. I don't know if he was angry with these two wastes, or if his life was too hard, Old Man Wei actually returned his soul again!
