Chapter 154: Xiao He is in the middle of the plan
Bai Lixian's worries soon turned into a cold reality.
Just when the three of them were about to go out of the city overnight to meet Baili Mao, the east gate suddenly moved, when they quickly rushed to the east gate, they just saw the city gate wide open, and more than 20 Hu horsemen swarmed Princess Yingzhen from outside the city swaggering in, seeing this scene, Baili Xiandeng's heart sank, the situation is not good!
Baili Yishui stepped forward and beckoned: "Sister Princess, Sister Princess?" ”
Without waiting for Baili Yishui to approach, the two horsemen drew their swords and blocked the way.
"Little Sister of 100 Miles?" Princess Yingzhen hurriedly turned over and dismounted and drove the Hu people away.
Seeing Baili Yishui, Princess Yingzhen seemed to be very distracted, and the smile on her pretty face didn't seem to be pretending.
The two Hu people showed absolute obedience to Princess Yingzhen, which made Bai Lixian's mood more and more heavy, these Hu people have always been unruly, why are they so obedient to the princess?
"Sister Princess, my little sister was worried about you just now." Baili Yishui's mind was extremely simple, and he took Ying Zhen's hand at the moment and said happily, "It's great that you can come back from Huying safe and sound." ”
"Just a Hu person, how dare you embarrass this palace?" Princess Yingzhen smiled faintly and said, "Chuan,
Sister, don't stay in the post house tonight, go to my sister's trip, and talk to my sister for one night, okay? ”
"Okay, okay." Baili Yishui nodded again and again: "Little sister likes to sleep with my sister the most." ”
While speaking, Bai Li Xian and You Yuan had already stepped forward and saluted Princess Ying Zhen respectively, and Ying Zhen's attitude towards Bai Li Xian and You Yuan was much colder, just a shallow return salute.
A short time later, Méng also arrived with his own soldiers.
Seeing that Princess Yingzhen was accompanied by more than 20 horsemen to protect her, Méng Yan couldn't help but be a little surprised, but she still stepped forward and respectfully greeted Princess Yingzhen Princess Yingzhen solemnly returned to the salute, and said to Méng: "General Méng, the palace is tired today, I want to rest for one night, and I will discuss it tomorrow?" ”
Méng nodded and immediately raised his head and shouted: "Come on, send His Highness back!" ”
Méng gave an order, and dozens of soldiers behind him rushed up, but the more than 20 horsemen drew their swords out of the sheath, and one by one they protected Princess Yingzhen as if they were facing a great enemy, Méng frowned, and when Yu spoke, Princess Yingzhen said: "General, these Loufu warriors have no malicious intentions, so let them escort the palace back to Xingyuan." 、。
With a reluctant wave of his hand, dozens of soldiers retreated to both sides of the street.
At that moment, Princess Yingzhen took Baili Yishui's little hand and walked away under the swarm of more than 20 horsemen, and Méng immediately took the pro-army team away, ignoring Baili Xian from beginning to end.
Bai Lixian could only shake his head and smile bitterly, and he really only admitted death.
You * looked at the dark sky and asked Baili Xian: "Brother Baili, what should I do now?" Do you go out of the city to meet Ziming, or stay and wait for your little sister to go together? ”
Bai Lixian only groaned slightly, and then made a decision: "In this way, you go out of the city to find Ziming first, and ask him to return south immediately to the general for interrogation, just say that the situation in Jiuyuan has changed, and it is not appropriate for the army to continue to go north, and then let the general send an elite army to the north to cooperate with us to act at the opportunity, then there is still a big thing to do." ”
Bai Lixian had already smelled something strange from his scaly claws.
Princess Yingzhen went to Hu Ying alone, and now she is escorted back to the city by Lou Furen? How to look at such a situation is abnormal, if you want to say that there is no story in the middle, Bai Lixian will never believe it!
As for what entanglement can happen between the princess and Lou annoying? It is not difficult to guess that it is likely that the princess is preparing to marry the king of the building.
Baili Xian is erudite and strong, and he also has a little knowledge of the art of people, he also knows that Princess Yingzhen is a natural charmer, and he also knows that Princess Yingzhen is a very scheming and powerful woman, so she will take the initiative to marry the king of Lou Fu, which is not strange at all, because in the Hetao, Lou Furen is indeed a force that determines xing.
If Princess Yingzhen can control the entire Lou Fu tribe through the Lou Fu King, and then use the power of the Lou Fu tribe to collect the Aries tribe and the Lin Hu tribe, plus 5,000 Great Qin Iron Cavalry and 30,000 old Qin people, it will immediately form a powerful force that cannot be ignored, and it is not impossible to resist the Xiongnu in the north and the Han in the south.
In reality, the Hetao Hu people in history were united for some mysterious reason, as for whether it was because the princess of Daqin played the role of threading the needle in the middle, it is unknown, but the Hetao Hu people met Mao Dun, the unborn grassland hero, and were crushed by the Huns without any suspense.
The surrender of the Hetao Hu people and the old Qin people, in turn, greatly contributed to the strength of the Huns, and as a result, there was the siege of Baideng.
Bai Lixian didn't know this, but he knew that once the Hetao Hu people formed an alliance with the old Qin people, it would be a disaster for Xiang Zhuang and the Chu army going north! Because the intervention of the Chu army will complicate the situation in the Hetao, Princess Yingzhen will definitely not allow Xiang Zhuang and the Chu army to hinder her revival plan.
Therefore, Bai Lixian must prevent this from happening.
In the final analysis, Baili Xian's concept is fundamentally different from Méng, Méng is a disciple of the Méng clan, and has always regarded himself as the guardian of the Great Qin Empire and the Ying family, but Bai Lixian only believes in Qin law and the cultivation and warfare system, so Bai Lixian believes more in Xiang Zhuang, the iron-blooded commander who was killed on the battlefield, rather than the scheming princess Ying Zhen.
………………
At this time, Liu Bang had also returned to Xianyang with the army.
Due to the lack of military food, Liu Bang only sent Zhou Bo to lead 20,000 elite soldiers to the north to chase and kill the Chu army, but the rest of the hundreds of thousands of troops were all sent to Tuntian around Xianyang, as for Zhou Bo's 20,000 elite soldiers, it was more appropriate to monitor the Chu army than to chase and kill, and now, Liu Bang can only watch Xiang Zhuang lead the army north to the Hetao.
In Changle Palace, Liu Bang was hugging Mrs. Qi and was bedridden, and Xiao He just ignored it when he asked to see him several times.
To tell the truth, when Liu Bang returned to Xianyang and saw Changle Palace, he was a little surprised, not only surprised that Xiao He built such a luxurious palace for him, but also surprised that Xiang Zhuang Xiaoer did not burn down this palace.
After living in Changle Palace for a few days, Liu Bang was overjoyed.
Compared with the time when he was in Pei County before, there was also the style of food and accommodation during the war, and living in Changle Palace was like a fairy, sometimes Liu Bang really felt that most of his life was in vain, and he secretly made up his mind in his heart, while there were still more than ten years of time, he should also enjoy enjoying life in this life, and leave the war or something to Zhou Bo and them.
Xiao He asked to see him again, but Mrs. Qi couldn't stand it anymore after all, and quietly pushed Liu Na a few times.
Liu Bang sat up lazily, put on his clothes under Mrs. Qi's clothes, and walked out of the dormitory.
Xiao He hurriedly bowed to Liu Bang according to the etiquette he had formulated, called my king three times, and then bowed down and stood on his right side.
This set of etiquette system is also formulated by Xiao He according to the Qin system, according to this system, those old guys who used to follow Liu Bang from birth to death and call him brother and brother saw Liu Bang and had to bow down, Liu Bang's respect as a king came out at once, when those old brothers bowed down at their feet for the first time, Liu Bang's heart was so cool, it was really impossible to describe in words.
"Prime Minister, what's going on early this morning?" Liu Bang yawned and asked Xiao He lazily.
Xiao He bowed down and responded: "King, all the grain in the cellar has been taken out, and it has been distributed to all counties and the Tuntian Captain's Department, but the minister thinks that he should still send capable officials to supervise it, so as not to let some of the Tuntian soldiers go hungry and eat these grains as food." ”
Liu Bang said unhappily: "You are the prime minister, can you just make up your mind about this matter?" ”
Xiao He hurriedly said: "The minister's early morning disturbed the king's dream, but it was for another important matter. ”
After saying this, Xiao He said again: "The minister screened the six laws of Qin, and then drew on the Taoist doctrine of Wuwei and the technique of Huang Lao, and drafted the "Nine Chapters Law." The first draft, please take a time to take a look. After that, Xiao He turned around and beckoned, and two small officials had already walked in with two wooden plates, and dozens of books were placed on the wooden plates.
Liu Bang saw that his head was big when he saw it, and frowned and said, "Let it go first, and the widow will look back." ”
When Xiao He was about to persuade a few more words, Liu Bang turned around and left, helpless, Xiao He had to bow down and retreat.
………………
In Yuping, 20,000 Chu troops were heading north along the straight road.
In the sound of hurried horses' hooves, Gao Chu Pegasus came to Xiang Zhuang and made a report on horseback: "General, the Han army pursued the Great Wall of King Zhaoxiang, and did not chase north. ”
"And that's to be expected." After Xiang Zhuang finished speaking, he glanced at Wei Yu again.
Guanzhong was hit by a military disaster, the people were hungry, the summer grain was also robbed by the Chu army, and the Han army had no food, so what to chase?
From now on, the Chu army no longer has to worry about the pursuers behind him, but what is the situation in Jiuyuan, but it is still unknown, and I don't know if Baili Xian persuaded Méng to die? If Bai Lixian can't convince Méng to die, I'm afraid that after arriving in Jiuyuan, there will inevitably be a sword disaster between him and the old Qin people.
There is a saying that Cao will arrive.
Xiang Zhuang was worried about Jiuyuan, and there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in front of him.
When he looked up in a hurry, he saw that Baili Mao had already rushed back, and he was still far away, and Bai Li Mao had already shouted urgently: "General, my eldest brother said that the situation in Jiuyuan has changed, and the army can no longer go north......" Xiang Zhuang's heart sank when he heard this, and he immediately raised his right hand and shouted: "Order the whole army, stop advancing!" ”
"The general has an order, the whole army stops advancing!" Jin Xiang roared again, and dozens of soldiers who accompanied him raised their horns and blew them, and in an instant, the desolate and low horn sound had rushed into the sky, and in the continuous sound of horns, the Chu army that was marching along the straight road to the north Hao Hao Dàngdàng stopped one after another.
