Chapter 741: Enemy of the State: Bandits

Wan'er hid in the side hall, looking at the letter over and over again, tasting every word there, word by word, tears of joy fell like pearls with broken threads.

After so long of worrying, missing and worrying, today she finally waited for a result she wanted, she didn't want to cry, but she couldn't hold back the tears at all.

He's alive!

He's alive!

A cry of joy kept chanting in her heart, and then she began to guess his situation through the brief content involving Yang Fan between the lines.

Since the end of the battle of Huangzhang, he has been captured, and he must have suffered a lot these days, right?

He was hit by an arrow in the leg, and I don't know if the wound has healed.

He heard the news from the Khitans that the Khitans were going to make peace with the Turks, and he tried his best to escape from the mountains, it must be very dangerous, right?

Those Khitan people, with a mere tens of thousands of people, defeated more than 100,000 troops in the imperial court twice, and each time they won a complete victory, even so many generals could not be spared, they must all be like fierce gods and evil spirits, how difficult it should be for Lang Jun to escape from them!

Wan'er thought about it, and after a long time, she controlled her joyful heart, gently wiped away her tears, hid the trace of constant thoughts, and walked out of the side hall.

"Sister Wan'er."

Fu Qingqing stood up, she was surprised to find that Wan'er seemed to be a little different, she couldn't tell what was different, but she seemed to be really different, like a little grass that had been dry for a long time, suddenly drew enough water, and re-erected its slender, beautiful, energetic and weak figure.

"I'm going to see Bixia, there's an important military report!"

Wan'er put on a straight face and said to Fu Qingqing seriously.

After Wan'er finished speaking, she walked quickly to the outside of the hall, her shoulders did not move, her skirt did not shake, like flowing water. It's still so elegant, but it's a little less calm than ever, she has to go fast, or she can't help the corners of her mouth that curl up, and she can't help but laugh from the bottom of her heart.

On the Lichun stage, Wu Zetian's face was gloomy, and she was in a very bad mood, so that Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi's flattery could not be exchanged for her smile, and now Erzhang also quietly avoided it because of fear.

I heard that the Turks also took advantage of the Khitan Rebellion to go to Hebei to loot wantonly, and played the slogan of "Fighting Zhou on behalf of the Tang Dynasty". Wu Zetian, who had just concluded a peace alliance with the Turks, was like a blow to the head.

She was furious, and she recklessly drew troops and horses from the Western Regions, from southern Xinjiang, and from the armies of various prefectures, and gathered them into a road army. Rushing to Hebei one after another, the cunning Turks retreated. In the desert steppe. The empire simply could not afford to drag on. That desperate chase is enough to drag the empire into the abyss of collapse, but just let them come and go? Wu Zetian really couldn't swallow this breath.

However, the shameless sobs didn't care what she thought, and when he retreated, he didn't have time to take those slaves with him. He killed all the tens of thousands of men and women who had plundered from Zhaozhou, Dingzhou and other places.

That's it, this shameless man actually sent people into the court, and put forward the reason why he sent troops to Hebei. It was because the imperial court did not agree to all their peace conditions, as long as the imperial court promised to cede Shan Yu Duhu and return the six states of Hequ, not only would they no longer send troops to attack Zhou, but they were also willing to cooperate with Wu Zhou to crusade against the Khitan.

Wu Zetian knew very well that they were talking nonsense, but the situation was stronger than people, did Wu Zhou have two sides to fight now? Now that Mo Si has 400,000 troops and a base of thousands of miles, most of the ethnic groups in the northwest are afraid of its momentum, abandoning Wu Zhou and vassalizing the Turks, how can the imperial court take this powerful scoundrel?

"Saint, saint, Li Duozuo has an urgent report!"

Shangguan Wan'er walked into Lichun Terrace quickly, and Wu Zetian, who was tired of lying on the free chair, sat up in surprise and asked urgently: "What happened to Hebei again?" ”

"Bixia, please look!"

Shangguan Wan'er handed the chapter to Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian took the chapter, looked at a few lines with difficulty, shook his head and said, "Read and listen!" ”

"Yes!"

Wan'er took over the chapter, and read the news that Yang Fan heard to Wu Zetian sentence by sentence, and Wu Zetian listened to it, forgetting that this Yang Fan was her daughter's beloved, and also forgot how much credit he had made for himself in the Western Regions. Not to mention anything else, just his discordant situation under the Tubo cloth has borne fruit today, if it were not for the internal kings of Tubo to compete for power and fierce battles, how could Tubo be so peaceful today, and the situation of Wu Zhou would be even more embarrassing.

All she paid attention to was the news that the Khitan wanted to negotiate an alliance with the Turks, if this news was true, once the Turks and the Khitan cooperated, wouldn't the Hebei Rebellion be even more peaceful?

Wu Zetian lay back on the chair weakly and closed his eyes in pain: "Do you ...... agree to the Turkic conditions?" Once these households are returned to the Turks, will other tribes still be willing to return to Wuzhou? Do you want to give the Shan Yu Protectorate to the Turks? Since ancient times, has there been a founding king who ceded the land instead of expanding the territory? What should I do? What to do? ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The Turkic army quickly withdrew to their territory after hearing the news of Wu Zhou's large-scale invasion of Hebei.

Although they did not bring those male and female slaves because of the hasty retreat, they seized a lot of wealth, and the carts of things were simply going to the Han people's places to raid their homes, and there were almost no people who did not rob them.

"Great Khan, today's Datang is no longer the Tang Dynasty of the past, even tens of thousands of people in the Khitan District can set off such a big storm, the Great Khan controls 400,000 strings, I'm afraid where he came from, why rush to retreat?"

A Turkic general who came to meet him was surprised and delighted when he saw the soldiers packing their belongings in large bags and carts and horses, and complained to him when he thought that the khan had given up more of his low-hanging wealth.

Mo Si smiled slyly: "Stupid, just focus on the immediate interests, and take a long-term view." That's right, Datang is indeed defeated, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, this behemoth, we occasionally bully it once, and want to swallow it in one bite, we don't have that much appetite.

If we fight with Datang to lose both, even if Datang dies, our strength will be exhausted, at that time, do you think Hui and Tubo will let go of the opportunity to annex us? Friends, only temporarily! ”

He sipped his beard and smiled slightly, and said proudly: "Now, we have to try our best to strengthen ourselves, and strengthen ourselves without hurting our vitality." We can't eat Datang now, but it's a small Khitan, we can still eat it. If we fight to the death with the Tang Dynasty now, the Khitan will also take the opportunity to rise, this little brother is nomadic with us, and the grassland is also connected, so it is not a good thing to let it grow. ”

The general suddenly realized and said, "I understand! Khan is saying, let's sit back and watch the Tang Dynasty and the Khitan fight to the death, and when the Khitan dies, the Tang Dynasty will also be greatly injured, and then we will be able to annex the Khitan without much effort and further grow! ”

Silently slurping daxiao, he tapped lightly on his shoulder with a horsewhip, and said with a smile: "You are finally smarter, when the Khitan is defeated, let's annex the population and territory of the Khitan, and then annex the Xi people and the Yan Ya, connect the entire desert grassland, and then wave the army south, wouldn't it be good?" ”

"The Great Khan is wise!"

“hahahaha……”

……

On the Lichun platform, Wu Zetian stood up with difficulty, Wan'er hurriedly stepped forward to help, Wu Zetian stubbornly shook off her hand, grabbed the dragon's head crutch, took a few steps forward, stood still, and gasped: "Wan'er, send a message to Honglu Temple, let them negotiate with the Turkic envoys, I promised to return the six states of Hequ, but ...... Alone in the capital of the palace, never give in! I have abandoned the people, I can no longer cut the land, and I will be reviled by all generations! He silently sipped that if he didn't give up, let him grab it himself, if he could grab it, it would be his! ”

Wu Zetian sneered: "Go, just say that to Honglu Temple!" If they agree, then send troops to help the imperial court crusade against the Khitan, and I will no longer care about his crime of attacking Hebei, otherwise, it will be a big battle, who wins and who loses, who dies and who lives, and there is still between the two! ”

Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, Wan'er is going!" ”

"Wait!"

Wu Zetian thought for a while, and then said: "Wu Yizong, Lou Shide, and Shazha Zhongyi have led their troops to Hebei, right?" ”

"Yes!"

"Spread the decree, order Wu Youyi, that idiot to immediately wave his troops out of the city, echo with Wu Yizong in the north and south, take the initiative to find the enemy for a decisive battle, and then dare not come out of the city, shrink and move, I will not spare it!"

"Yes!"

"Then pass the decree and order Jiujiang King Wu Yougui to increase the number of soldiers and horses in the east of Luoyang City to consolidate the defense of the capital!"

"Yes!"

"Spread the message to Helong, and ordered Di Renjie to be the pacification ambassador of Hebei Province, and set off quickly to pacify Hebei! Passing on the military department, in the north and south of the Yellow River, the military cavalry regiment training, with the Fengge squire Wei Yuanzhong inspected the school and the governor Shi, the general manager of the Tiantian army, the north rejected the Khitan, and the west resisted the Turks! ”

"Yes!"

Wu Zetian made five holy decrees in one breath, panting heavily, Xiangshang official Wan'er waved her hand, Wan'er hurriedly bowed and retreated, Wu Zetian walked slowly to the stone fence outside the main hall with a cane, and the palace eunuch standing outside the hall hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Wu Zetian didn't speak, she stood in front of the stone fence of the carved beast, let the wind sweep her white hair, squinted to the north, the old hand clenched the cane and the dragon head, paused fiercely on the ground three times, gritted her teeth and said: "Hebei, Hebei ......"

Qianjin Yecheng, Li Duozuo said to Yang Fan with a wry smile: "This is the case now, Wu Youyi should not move, and we are not allowed to move closer to him, and Su Honghui is chasing after the Khitans all day long, exhausted, we can't contact him at all, now we have 20,000 people, and half of them are baggage soldiers, and our combat strength is limited......"

As soon as he said this, a soldier suddenly burst in, knelt on one knee, clenched his fists and said, "Report!" The general, just received an urgent military situation, the Khitan suddenly appeared in the northwest of Macheng, it seems that he wants to attack Macheng, Macheng County ordered to send people to come, please send troops to relieve the siege! ”
