Chapter 43: Embattled
Ji Ruhuan frowned when she heard this, and sure enough, just like in her previous life, Da Ming fell into a situation of being embattled on three sides.
According to her understanding during this time, her father was in command of 150,000 Zhenbei troops stationed in the north, and Da Liang's 300,000 troops besieged the Zhenbei Army, and the combat power was twice as much as that of the Zhenbei Army.
However, with his father's ability, even if 150,000 against 300,000, he could defend Hengyang and support the rescue of reinforcements.
But it is obvious that this Da Liang is afraid that he has long colluded with the Great Zhou of South Vietnam, and at the same time he has made a move, cutting off the back road of the Liaodong Army and the Nanyang Army to the rescue.
This South Vietnam borders on the Great Zhou, which is originally an incompatible relationship, but Da Liang and South Vietnam and the Great Zhou are completely separated by the Ming Dynasty, basically there is no contact, I am afraid that everyone in the Ming Dynasty never thought that these three parties would collude and act on the Ming Dynasty at the same time.
"Ruhuan, Ruhuan!"
Ji Ruhuan was awakened by Princess Xinyi's loud shout in her ear, looked up at Princess Xinyi, and heard Princess Xinyi say, "Are you okay?"
Ji Ruhuan shook his head and responded, "It's okay, it's just that I'm a little worried when I hear you talk about this." ”
Princess Xinyi comforted, "Don't worry, no matter what, the imperial court will find a way to send troops to the rescue, otherwise the northern border will be dangerous, no matter what, Da Ming will not allow the northern border to fall into the hands of Da Liang." ”
Of course Ji Ruhuan knew, and she also knew that in this rescue, the emperor would send Lord Wu, the secretary of the military department, to lead the 100,000 imperial forest troops in Kyoto to the rescue.
Can't delay any longer, she has to go to Wu Yuexuan as soon as possible, and find a way to follow her to the north to find her father, thinking in her heart, she also stood up and said, "Xinyi, I have left beforehand, and I will come back to see you next time." ”
Princess Xinyi hurriedly stretched out her hand to grab Ji Ruhuan, and said worriedly, "Where are you going?" We can't mix these things, my father can tolerate it once or twice, but he can't have it again and again. ”
Seeing Princess Xinyi's worried expression, Ji Ruhuan's heart warmed, showed a reassuring smile, and responded with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't mess around like last time, I'm really in trouble." ”
Princess Xinyi said with a little suspicion, "You really won't go to your father to make trouble?"
Ji Ruhuan nodded solemnly, "Really." ”
Princess Xinyi was a little relieved at this time, and seeing Ji Ruhuan's anxious appearance, she didn't hold back, and responded, "Okay, don't worry, General Ji will be fine, Xiao Wenzi, send the county lord out of the palace." ”
In the end, she was still not at ease, Princess Xinyi took advantage of Ji Ruhuan's inattention and secretly gave Xiao Wenzi a look.
Ji Ruhuan left the palace, got into the carriage and said, "Go to the Taishi Mansion." ”
Qingmei, who was following the carriage, heard the voice of the young lady in the carriage, and leaned over the small window of the carriage worriedly and whispered, "Miss, what are we going to the Taishi Mansion for?"
Although my own young lady has a marriage contract with Little Master Wu, it is only a marriage contract, and it is good if there are elders to accompany her to visit, but it is just that the young lady has gone by herself, which seems to be inappropriate.
Ji Ruhuan was also anxious, and was reminded by Qingmei, and also felt that something was wrong, so she changed her tone and said, "Forget it, park, Qingmei, you come here." ”
When Qingmei approached, Ji Ruhuan whispered in Qingmei's ear for a while, Qingmei nodded, then turned around and left, and Ji Ruhuan asked the carriage to change the route and went to Ruifeng Restaurant.
Ji Ruhuan waited restlessly in Ruifeng Restaurant for a long time before waiting for Wu Yuexuan to come in impatiently.
Ji Ruhuan stood up, bent down to give a salute, and Wu Yuexuan, who had already arrived at the table in fright, took a step back, looked at Ji Ruhuan with a strange expression, and said unceremoniously, "You didn't take the wrong medicine, did you?"
The corners of Ji Ruhuan's eyes twitched slightly, she wanted to ask for something, so she wanted to treat him politely, and by the way, ease the relationship with him, don't always be the same as before, and be tense when you meet.
It only seems that her relationship with Wu Yuexuan is afraid that it is not suitable to treat each other politely, so she simply sat down again with a big grin.
Seeing that Ji Ruhuan returned to normal, Wu Yuexuan sat opposite Ji Ruhuan, shook his fan and asked, "What are you looking for me?"
Ji Ruhuan waved his hand to the maid waiting in the private room, gave Qingju another look, and when everyone went out, he went straight to the topic, lowered his voice and said, "Do you remember our previous transaction?"
Wu Yuexuan nodded, and then he heard Ji Ruhuan speak, "Then do you know the current situation at the borders of the Ming Dynasty?"
Wu Yuexuan looked at Ji Ruhuan suspiciously, and said, "I heard my eldest brother mention that there are changes on the border between South Vietnam and the Great Zhou. ”
Ji Ruhuan looked at Wu Yuexuan's expression, and knew that he was afraid that he was not very clear, so he had to open his mouth to explain the situation that Da Ming was facing now.
After listening to this, Wu Yuexuan looked at Ji Ruhuan in surprise, "How do you know so clearly?"
Ji Ruhuan replied to the question, "My father is on the battlefield in the north. ”
Wu Yuexuan thought about Ji Ruhuan's current identity, and he could still run to the palace twice in three days, so he didn't ask where Ji Ruhuan came from, and only said, "You don't want me to get you to the north now, do you?"
Ji Ruhuan nodded, Wu Yuexuan looked at Ji Ruhuan in disbelief, "Are you crazy?"
Ji Ruhuan repeated again, "My father is on the battlefield in the north. ”
Wu Yuexuan replied impatiently, "I know." Let's not talk about the use of you going to the north, in this situation, how can I get you to the north? ”
Ji Ruhuan took a deep breath before he spoke, "Now that the Ming Dynasty is embattled, the Great Zhou of South Vietnam is in trouble, the Liaodong Army and the Nanyang Army will definitely not be able to support the northern border, but it will also take time for other states and counties to transfer troops, and now the situation in the north cannot be delayed for a moment, so the only way is for Kyoto to send troops to support." ”
Wu Yuexuan looked at Ji Ruhuan so seriously for the first time, shocked, surprised, and incredulous, looking at Ji Ruhuan with complicated eyes.
Hearing Ji Ruhuan speak, he continued, "The only large-scale army that can be mobilized in the capital is the 100,000 Imperial Forest Army. ”
"100,000 Imperial Forest Army, this is the guarantee of Kyoto, these people, Your Majesty will definitely hand over to a person he particularly trusts, and your eldest brother, who used to be His Majesty's companion, is now the secretary of the military department, served as the commander of the Liaodong Army, and has also won many battles, and is the best candidate to lead the troops to support the north. ”
Wu Yuexuan thought that Ji Ruhuan had found him two months ago, and he didn't take it seriously, and then thinking about what she had just said, could it be that she had foreseen this situation in the first place? If this is the case, it is really terrifying to think about it.
But soon Wu Yuexuan shook her head and denied this idea, how old is she, how could a little girl who is not yet thirteen years old foresee these things?
But even so, Wu Yuexuan felt that he had really looked away before, as if he had never really known Ji Ruhuan.
