Chapter 16: War Is on the Verge
Great Zhou Fengxiang Mansion. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
A procession of several hundred people escorted two carriages with the imperial flag of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the carriages were golden, and everyone in the procession wore red belts, and the rear of the procession was followed by several carriages, which were loaded with various items, and the carriages were decorated with red cloth and red silk.
It can be seen that the people sitting in this car should be members of the royal family of the Great Zhou, on the first carriage, there are two young girls, she is wearing a big red robe, and the phoenix crown on her head is golden and yellow, she is the princess of Qi in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Chai Jingchu, who set off from Bianjing ten days ago, and has now arrived at Fengxiang Mansion, and after Fengxiang Mansion, she arrived in Qinzhou, and entered the territory of Shu.
Chai Jingchu opened the curtain of the carriage, looked at the snow-capped world, felt a little lost, and couldn't help but sigh, the old country has left, I don't know what year and month I will be able to come back, at this time, the little girl next to Chun'er couldn't help but whispered: "Your Highness don't worry, Chun'er will always follow you." ”
Chai Jingchu nodded, thinking that she finally had someone from her homeland to accompany her, she said to Chun'er: "This time I went to Shu, I'm afraid it's really difficult to go back to Dazhou, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back, it's really difficult for you." ”
After Chun'er heard this, she sobbed: "Princess, I don't regret it, you are good to me, I know, if you go to Shu to marry now, I will always accompany you." ”
At this moment, there was a neighing of horses from the front team, and the team listened. Chai Jingchu was a little stunned, he was about to arrive in Qinzhou, what happened?
Suddenly, a team of men and horses ran out of the woods, and when they saw this pair of people and horses, all the guards were relieved, this was the army of the Great Zhou, their own people.
The general who sent off his relatives was a commander of the Great Zhou Forbidden Army, called Weitong.
"Who is coming, we are escorting Her Royal Highness the Princess of Qi to Shu to marry and escort, and Her Royal Highness the Princess will go to Shu to get married." Wei Tong said to the incoming army.
When those men heard this, they looked at the arrangement of the carriage and the flags on the procession, and they no longer doubted it.
At this time, a middle-aged general dismounted from the queue and went to Chai Jingchu's carriage to salute: "The last general, Qin Sheng, the guard general of Fengxiang Mansion, see Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
At this moment, a crisp voice came from inside the carriage: "Why did General Qin stop the carriage of the palace?" ”
"I don't dare to be humble, but my Royal Highness the princess, the army of Shu in front of me, according to the report of Tan Malai, the continuous military camps are covered with open spaces outside the forest, it is estimated that there are no less than 150,000 people and horses dispatched by Shu, and the last general has already told His Majesty eight hundred miles quickly." Qin Sheng bowed his head and said loudly.
"Princess, could it be that the prince of Shu came to greet us, but we don't need so many people, right?" Chun'er couldn't help but say on the side.
"No, they are not here to greet the princess, but to invade our country in a big way."
"Why?"
"Because not long ago, the envoy team that sent to the Great Zhou was all wiped out in the woods in front of them, and under the envoy Li Hao, there was no survivor, and they thought that it was my Great Zhou who killed him, so he came to take revenge." Qin Sheng continued.
Qin Sheng's words made Chai Jingchu have a splitting headache, dead, he died? All are dead. Li Yu is dead? She couldn't believe that he had died a few days ago.
However, the most important thing now is what kind of embarrassing position the two countries will be in if they go to war.
"Princess, please go to the city with the last general to rest and wait for His Majesty's order." Qin Sheng said.
"That's all there is to it."
。。。。。。。。。
Late at night, in the Bianjing Imperial Palace, the Great Zhou Emperor Chai Rong was woken up by the eunuch's rapid urging and shouted: "What's the matter, so alarmed? "His Majesty the Emperor, who has been in the prime of his life, inexplicably felt a trace of danger, as if something earth-shattering had happened.
Outside the dormitory, a feminine voice said, "Your Majesty, Fengxiang Mansion has sent eight hundred miles to expedite." ”
"Eight hundred miles expedited?" Chai Rong frowned, and suddenly was shocked: "Feng Xiang? Isn't that the place where Hatsu'er went? Could something have happened? His face changed drastically, and one rolled over and got out of bed, and casually pulled the cloak and draped it over his body.
"Tell me what's going on, tell me clearly." Chai Rong asked sharply with a calm face. At this point, he must know what is really going on in order to think of a countermeasure.
"Your Majesty, this is an eight-hundred-mile rush." The attendant beside him handed a sealed letter to Chai Rong.
As Chai Rong slowly looked at the fold, his face became heavier and heavier, and his eyes became more and more cold, he lowered his head and did not say a word.
The matter of Fengxiang Mansion certainly involves the safety of his daughter, but also the safety of the Great Zhou, if it is not handled properly, then the Great Zhou will be attacked by the Northern Han, Liao, and Western Shu.
It seems that someone deliberately blamed Da Zhou, but why would a messenger convoy of more than 100 people make Meng Chang reckless of the consequences? This is something that Chai Rong can't imagine, it stands to reason that the marriage between the two countries is imminent, even if such a thing happens, officials will be sent to verify, and then negotiate, and they will not raise troops so hastily, what is the reason?
"Come on, send a secret envoy to see Meng Chang, I think he is not such a mediocre person, he will definitely understand the strangeness, tell Emperor Shu, he can make trouble at will, but don't go too far, the princess of Qi will go to Shu immediately, without delay, this is our sincerity."
After speaking, Chai Rong took the pen and wrote a handwritten letter, and then handed it to the chamberlain, "Go, give it to Meng Chang." ”
"Someone came, passed back to the German army, and Zhao Kuangyin came to the front of the palace." Chai Rong sighed and said loudly. Although it is said that it will make you make a fuss, you still have to be careful, and let Zhao Kuangyin go to the town to rest assured.
Zhao Kuangyin frowned and returned home, he understood a little, and he didn't understand it, the army of Shu was assembled and sent to resist Yes, but why did I only allow two thousand guards to go.
Zhao Kuangyin returned to the mansion and found his sworn brothers and strategists to discuss together.
"General, my subordinates thought that Your Majesty must know that the two countries would not meet each other, just in case, so they sent the general there." It was Zhao Pu who spoke, Zhao Kuangyin's secretary, and the advisor he relied on.
"Then how can it be done, in case the army of Shu attacks, what will the eldest brother do to resist the 150,000 army? If I don't agree, we'll send all the Germans. "It was Shi Shouxin who spoke, he was one of the ten brothers of Zhao Kuangyin's association, and only Zhao Kuangyin's order was obeyed.
"No, since Your Majesty's order must be obeyed, if you bring it back to the German army and really fight, it will be out of control." Zhao Pu admonished.
"Okay, then I'll take two thousand guards alone, keep your word, you stay in the forbidden army, don't make a mistake, ask Mr. Zhao about everything." After Zhao Kuangyin finished speaking, he waved his hand, and then left directly.
