Chapter 64: Return to Zhao
Three days later, after thousands of waits, Chu Shenxia and everyone were waiting for King Qing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
King Qing always had a calm face, for him, staying on the front line was an act of looking for death, coincidentally, Liu Yan was seriously injured by a pedestrian stab on the road, and the emperor appointed him to rush to Bian Zhou with the remaining half of the forbidden army.
When he arrived in Bianzhou, his mood was even worse, he couldn't have imagined that Wang Qin would not defend the city, but would take Luoyang down in many troubles.
The people trapped in Luoyang City don't know how many times they have made trouble today, and King Qing's words have tumbled a few times, but he still hasn't said it after all, he really wants to simply slaughter the city, so as to save these troubles.
Wang Qin proposed to bring a part of his troops to Jincheng to support, but King Qing refused, to Chu Shenxia's surprise, Jing Min was also in this queue, almost inseparable from King Qing.
When Lu Zhi saw Jing Yan, he seemed to be awakened, and his eyes looking at Chu Shenxia were also a little suspicious.
There was a hearty laugh behind him, Chu Shenxia looked sideways, Jing Min and Pei Chendong were already walking towards him with smiles on their faces, and saw Pei Chendong's eyes constantly looking at him, so he turned his head again.
"Jing Yan, come, this is Wang Qin, the commander of the forbidden army." Pei Chendong said with a smile.
Jing Yan hurriedly bowed to him, Wang Qin waved his hand and smiled: "No need to be polite, I saw this little brother in Jizhou last time, but... I vaguely remember, it seems that I came to find Shen Xia? ”
The corners of Pei Chendong's mouth slightly pulled into a sneer, his eyes wandered on Chu Shenxia and Jing Ming, and said with a dry smile: "Jing Yan is originally a person in the rivers and lakes, and it is reasonable that he knows more people, and he is now the head of His Royal Highness King Qing's guests." ”
"Oh? Is it? Not bad. Wang Qin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said a little perfunctorily.
Pei Chendong's gaze swirled on Chu Shenxia, who had always turned his back to him, and finally landed on the sentry tower in the distance, and said to Jing Yan: "Let's go over there." ”
Wang Qin originally wanted to ask something, but it can be seen that Chu Shenxia looked into the distance, and he didn't have the intention of turning back, so he just gave up, and was about to go down the city wall, but there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance.
Chu Shenxia and Wang Qin were stunned at the same time, knowing that something was wrong, and sure enough, after a while, the sound of thousands of troops and horses seemed to gallop, covering up the sound of the man's horse hooves.
The soldiers on the horse stayed close to the city wall before shouting: "The Liang army is coming!" The Liang army is coming! ”
King Qing, who didn't know where he had gone, suddenly came out at this time, leaned out and looked into the distance, the sweat on his forehead flowed wildly like a waterfall, but he was slightly stunned, and then made up his mind: "Gather the three armies immediately!" ”
Wang Qin looked at Chu Shenxia in surprise and said, "Originally, I thought that King Qing was greedy for life and afraid of death, but now it seems that I am narrow-sighted. ”
Chu Shenxia was silent, pursed his lips slightly and looked at King Qing, Jing Min and Pei Chendong also ran over at this time, Pei Chendong also leaned over and looked into the distance, and said with some excitement: "Is it finally going to fight?" Your Highness, rest assured, I will be able to kill the head of the Liang General and sacrifice it to Your Highness. ”
King Qing quickly cast an angry gaze and scolded, "Are you crazy? Fight with Liang Jun? We don't die enough. ”
When Pei Chendong heard this, he was stunned and asked, "No... Don't fight? ”
King Qing didn't respond to him, and hurriedly ran under the city wall, Chu Shenxia glanced at Wang Qin, who had a black line on his face, and laughed loudly: "Commander Wang doesn't have to care, on the contrary, it means that your gaze is still normal." ”
King Qing, as the commander, chose to abandon the city and flee, and the soldiers were naturally unwilling, after all, it was a city that was beaten down with flesh and blood, how could he give Luoyang away without even fighting?
I heard that the Liang army raised 300,000 troops and vowed to avenge the seizure of the city, but the disparity in strength was so great that I couldn't think of it, so I had to retreat according to King Qing's order.
Retreating to Bianzhou, the Liang army did not chase after it, everyone was surprised, and learned that the Liang army only sent 70,000 troops, and many soldiers were unwilling, and the blood surged up again, saying that they wanted to turn around and attack Luoyang, and King Qing couldn't stop it, and finally Chu Shenxia persuaded him.
Over there, the Northern Yan had been almost wiped out by the Wei State, and the Wei State killed the last Northern Yan soldiers in Jincheng, and actually returned the Jincheng to the Southern Song Dynasty, in order to seek peace between the two countries.
Wei did this, nothing more than to destroy the Northern Yan had cost most of his troops, and he was really unable to annex the Southern Song Dynasty, but he was afraid that the Southern Song Dynasty would come back and bite him, and borrow Jincheng to return to Zhao in exchange for a temporary peace.
Wei Guo played such a move, and Liang Guo no longer had the intention of moving Bian Zhou, but this time he suffered such a loss, and Luoyang's defense was many times heavier.
Since the emperor has decided to move south, Jincheng will never go back, King Qing only stayed in Bian Zhou for a few more days, and after receiving the emperor's recall letter, he rushed to Jiankang without stopping.
Chu Shenxia saw that Pei Chendong was always dangling in front of him in the past few days, and Jing Yan was always following his side, Chu Shenxia knew that he was using Jing Yan to laugh at himself, and his friend who was like a brother and sister was actually a traitor, and told King Qing all the news around Liu Yan, this one thing alone was worthy of Pei Chendong laughing at him several times.
At first, Chu Shenxia could bear it, but after a long time, when he saw Pei Chendong's face, he felt disgusted, especially when he saw him smiling half-yin and half-yang, he only felt goosebumps about to fall to the ground.
Therefore, as soon as he arrived in Jiankang, he rushed to the Taichu Palace, the emperor moved the capital to Jiankang, and lived in the Taichu Palace where Sun Quan lived in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which was too hurried and had no palace to live in.
As a result, several princes and princes also followed to live in the Taichu Palace, and many ministers repurchased their residences, and the poor ministers temporarily lived in the residence arranged by the emperor.
At this time, when the official's family background was revealed, a few cunning officials pretended to have no money, shouted poverty, and lived together with other officials.
Unexpectedly, Chu Shenxia pounced, and happened to bump into Concubine Gao Xian outside the Taichu Palace, Concubine Gao Xian told Chu Shenxia that Liu Yan, as the crown prince, except for the emperor, all matches must be made first by him, and he is living in Yong'an Palace not far from the Taichu Palace at the moment.
Recently, Concubine Gao Xian had a headache from time to time for some reason, and just now the wind blew again, and the headache flare-up faintly, so she simply handed over things like food supplements to Chu Shenxia and brought them over by him.
The guards and maids of Yong'an Palace have almost not changed, and they all know him when they see him, and they are silent when they bow slightly, and to this day, the palace is still so busy.
A palace maid who hadn't yet reached the end didn't see him, she ran quickly, and accidentally bumped into the food box in Chu Shenxia's hand, she didn't even dare to raise her head, and said again and again: "The slave is wrong, the slave is wrong." ”
Chu Shenxia was very familiar with this voice, and couldn't help but look at it twice, and only after seeing it clearly did he say happily: "Lu Xun? ”
Lu Xun raised his head when he heard this, the panic on his face faded, and then he smiled: "General." ”
"I'm not a general anymore, don't make a mistake next time." Chu Shenxia looked at her dotingly, and when she saw that she was a little fatter, she couldn't help but reach out and pat her head, which showed that she had a lot of decorations on her head, and she was afraid of messing up, so she retracted her hand in a sneer.
"Why are you here? What about my mother? ”
She raised her head and smiled, and said while gesturing: "Madame is in the mansion, and the lord spent money to buy a mansion." ”
"Then why are you here?" Chu Shenxia asked.
She really deliberately avoided this question, smirked, and said, "It's been a lot of delay, it's time for the manager to scold, I'll go first." ”
As he spoke, he trotted all the way and disappeared into Chu Shenxia's eyes in an instant.
Walking into Liu Yan's courtyard, he felt very quiet, and he didn't even see half of the maidservants, and he was surprised, so he heard the sound of the sword, and when he heard it, he knew that the person dancing the sword was strong and strong, and his internal strength was full.
When Liu Yan heard the footsteps, he also stopped, and when he saw that it was Chu Shenxia, he smiled and put the sword behind his back.
"Your Highness's injuries heal so quickly? This doctor is really good. ”
Liu Yan chuckled, threw the sword in his hand to him, and said with a flash of his eyes: "Aren't all your ideas?" You dare to laugh at me. ”
Chu Shenxia laughed, his fingers flicked on the sword, and the cold sound was extremely crisp.
The smile on Liu Yan's face suddenly froze, and he took a breath before slowly exhaling and said, "Yongming has returned to Lu Kingdom, and Banrong has also followed." ”
Chu Shenxia was stunned, the hand holding the hilt of the sword couldn't help but clench secretly, the knuckles of the fingers he only held turned white, his eyes tightened slightly, and he suddenly reacted and breathed a sigh of relief.
He also thought... I thought they were gone forever, thinking of this, Chu Shenxia shook his head a little self-deprecatingly, it seems that Liu Yan's wedding is imminent, and he will go to Lu Country to officially marry Yongming in less than a month.
His eyes were on Liu Yan's complicated face, Chu Shenxia felt that something was wrong, how could a person who was about to get married have such an expression on his face? Sympathetic, sentimental, unbearable?
A thought flashed through Chu Shenxia's mind very quickly, but he was taken aback by his own thoughts, and couldn't help but look at Liu Yan nervously.
Noticing Chu Shenxia's gaze, Liu Yan did not avoid it, but let out a long sigh, which seemed to confirm Chu Shenxia's thoughts.
Chu Shenxia shook his body, and couldn't help but call in a trembling voice: "Prince..."
"It's me who can't stand her, she will definitely hate me to death, if it were me, I would also want to dismantle her, no, I can't match the hatred in my heart." Liu Yan put his hands behind his back and looked at the green trees in the courtyard, but his eyes were empty and ethereal.
Chu Shenxia approached him, stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder, and comforted him in a low voice: "Sooner or later, the Lu Kingdom will be destroyed, Your Highness doesn't have to be too sentimental, and the princess doesn't understand..."
Speaking of the back, Chu Shenxia couldn't help but sigh, although Liu Yan was touched by his brotherly action, he didn't know what to say, and the courtyard was quiet only with the sound of the wind blowing the leaves.
Chu Shenxia finally couldn't help but ask, "When will Your Highness leave?" ”
"Three days later."
No wonder the emperor was so anxious, it turned out that he had made a plan to abandon Jincheng early in the morning, looking at the current Kyushu mainland, it was divided into two, the north was the great Wei Dynasty, and the south was the Southern Song Dynasty with sufficient troops, but there were many small countries around the Southern Song Dynasty.
Although I knew from the beginning that I had the intention of annexing the Lu Kingdom, I didn't expect that I would continue to destroy the Lu Kingdom in the name of my relatives, what would this be like for Princess Yongming?
