On the fifteenth day of the second year of the Indian year, half a month is the New Year, and the army of Liang has conquered more than ten large and small cities of the Shang State after nearly three months of battle. The Qi State attacked Shang from the northeast, and also pointed directly at the Shang capital, forcing the Shang king to abandon Qibo, and leading the remnants to retreat to Keyulin County, a border city in the north of the Shang State. The king of Shang sent people to the camp of the Liang army and begged for surrender from the Liang state.

In the Jiangzhou garrison mansion, Yuanhang met the messenger sent back to the back hall by Situ Hao in the living room, and learned that there was a great victory ahead, and the king of Shang had begged to surrender, so he was happy and ordered someone to prepare wine and food and accompany him personally.

"Is Marshal Situ okay?" Yuanhang raised his glass and asked with a smile.

"The marshal is very good, the Shang army was defeated like a mountain, and it almost didn't take much effort to take down many cities, and the king of Shang saw that the general trend was gone, so he had to surrender to our army." The messenger toasted and drank it all.

Yuanhang also drank it, and said with a smile: "The Shang State is not vulnerable, if it weren't for the Qi State entering from the northeast, I'm afraid our army wouldn't have been so smooth." ”

"That's, that's." The messenger echoed, nodding his head repeatedly.

"What's the situation ahead?" Tang Ling filled a glass of wine for them, stepped aside, and asked.

The messenger bowed down and replied, "When our army attacked the county town of Wanhe, which is near Qibo, the merchant army withdrew from Qibo and went north to Yulin County. Marshal Situ saw that the Qi army had entered Qibo, so he pursued the Shang king north and trapped him in Yulin, causing the Shang king to surrender. ”

"The Qi army occupies Qibo?" Yuanhang stopped the chopsticks in his hand and asked in a slightly surprised manner.

The messenger nodded: "Yes, I didn't expect them to be so fast, since they didn't get the capital, it's not bad to capture the king of Shang." ”

"The Shang King is also smart." Yuanhang put the chopsticks on the table, grinned, and asked, "Besieging Yulin, has the Qi army also sent troops?" ”

"Yes, the two countries sent troops to trap the Shang King at the same time."

"In that case, why did the King of Shang ask for surrender from the Liang State instead of the Qi State?" Yuanhang asked.

"This ...... The subordinates don't know, Xu is ......"

"It's very simple, since the Qi army occupies Qibo, the king of Shang should ask the Qi country for surrender, but he chose my country, which is clearly a dying plan and causes a rift between the two countries." Yuanhang analysis said: "The Qi army took the capital and occupied the advantage, and the king of Shang asked for surrender to the Liang State, which will definitely make the Qi State think that the Liang army is strong in this war, and the Shang State will surrender to Liang, and the King of Qi will be angry, which can be regarded as a killing move, so that the two countries will continue to fight to the death." ”

The messenger was dumbfounded, not knowing what to answer.

Yuan Voyage ordered Tang Ling to take a pen and paper, write it on the dinner table, write his opinions and hand them to the messenger, and instructed: "I'm afraid I'm going to tire you, so I will present this letter to the saint together, and I need to travel day and night, without delay." ”

The messenger took it and put it in his arms, and said, "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will do it immediately, and they will not make a mistake." ”

Yuanhang smiled and nodded, and the two pushed each other's glasses.

Back in the back house, Du Wen was resting on the bed, Sixin squatted on the ground and filled the brazier with charcoal. Now Du Wen's abdomen has also bulged, and her waist is fat.

"My lord......" Sixin saw the voyage coming in, and stood up with a call.

Yuanhang looked down at the ground and said to Sixin: "If it's cold, take another charcoal basin, don't cold her." ”

"Where is it going to be cold?" Du Wen supported her body and sat up, and said with a smile: "This girl is afraid that I will be cold, so I don't leave the charcoal basin, and throw some into it every hour, and I am afraid that the needs of this day are more than double that of the past." ”

"Master......" Sixin's face turned red and twisted coquettishly.

"Haha, it doesn't matter." Yuanhang laughed and said, "As long as it doesn't cool my Wen'er, you can get the charcoal you need at will." ”

"You're always spoiled by this girl." Although Du Wen said on her lips, she was also happy in her heart, and Yuanhang pampered herself even more.

Sixin went to the outhouse to make tea, Yuanhang walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, took Du Wen's hand, and said, "There is a great victory ahead, and the Shang Kingdom has perished." ”

Du Wen was very happy when she heard this, and then said: "Xianggong, the New Year is approaching, and my sisters are still in Qianling, how do you plan to do it." ”

Yuanhang thought for a moment and said, "Yes, it's going to be the New Year, and the family always has to be together." The battle was unknown in the previous battle, and I didn't dare to take them back, but now it's too peaceful, and I should bring them to welcome the New Year, but it's just ......"

Du Wen put her right hand on the back of Yuanhang's hand, and then said, "I just don't know how to hide it from Old Man Situ." ”

Yuanhang nodded and looked at Du Wen.

Du Wen also lost her voice, sighed for a while before saying: "If the words make them come to Jiangzhou, I am afraid that the elders will come with them, if they don't see Yilan, how can you and I hide the past." It seems that they have to tell them the truth, so that they can return alone after they know about it, leaving Tang Yuanwai and others to accompany Old Man Situ. ”

"But it's only half a month, and they can only rush back by flying the book, who knows that they are the first to read the letter?" Yuanhang is not unreasonable, in case Hai Dongqing flies to be discovered by Situ's subordinates first, he will definitely hand over the letter to Situ Zhongda first, which will be bad.

It is better to do this, as the people say, that a woman must give birth at home, and if she is elsewhere, it will be difficult to survive in the future. For this reason, when he returned from autumn like this, the minister made the two sisters accompany each other on the road, and I believe that the old man will not be suspicious. ”

"Well, that's pretty believable." Yuanhang nodded in response, leaned over, kissed Du Wen on the cheek, and said with a smile: "There is still such a thing in the world, I don't know." "I thought to myself, in the future, no matter how many people give birth at home, they all go to the hospital, and I don't see any one who is not easy to feed.

Du Wen pushed him with a smile, and said with a shy: "If my sisters don't come back, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night." ”

Yuanhang tilted his head and squinted at Du Wen, laughed, and said: "You still know Xianggong very well, now I can't stand it, come and go to the fire for Xianggong." After saying that, he pounced forward.

"Oops......" Du Wen dodged back in fright, stretched out her hand to block the voyage, begged for mercy and said: "Don't mess around, don't hurt the child in your belly." ”

Yuanhang laughed and rolled over and lay on the bed. Being Du Wenyi*, it's really a little uncomfortable, and I haven't had the joy of bed for many days, and I do have some ideas. Thinking of this, he sat up from the bed again, summoned Sixin to study ink for himself, and wrote a letter for them.

"Graceful, see the letter as face. Farewell for a few months, for the husband very much. Now this year's pass is approaching, the war has subsided, counting the time, the autumn is about to give birth, I am afraid that there will be more inconvenience outside, and I hope to return home to give birth. I also tell the elders that when the weather is warm, the voyage will return to meet and hope for good health. ”

After writing the letter, Yuanhang took it to Du Wen to read, and Du Wen nodded after reading it and said: "Xianggong understands what he wrote, I believe my sister will see it." ”

Yuanhang smiled, and noted in the letter that he went back to meet the elders in Tiannuan, which meant to tell Wanyu to ask them to come back alone, with their intelligence, they would know at first sight.

handed the letter to Tang Ling and ordered him to immediately release Hai Dongqing back to Qianling, Tang Ling should retreat.

"My lord, my lord......" Not long after Tang Ling went out, he ran back again, shouted urgently from outside, and actually broke into the room directly.

"Why are you so flustered, what's going on?" Yuanhang was a little displeased, glared at him and asked.

Tang Ling realized that he was rude, and hurriedly gave a deep salute to Du Wen on the bed, and said to Yuanhang: "The ninth princess has arrived in Jiangzhou and has already arrived outside the mansion. ”

"Ah......" Yuanhang shouted in shock, she was not in the back hall, how could she come here? Hurriedly pushed Tang Ling away, raised his legs and ran out of the house.
