Chapter 227: Preparing for War
Jiang Shang continued: "Li Cheng is the key. My 100,000 troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty traveled thousands of miles and sacrificed a lot to gain this city. It is the foundation of our king's future conquest of the world, and it must not be easily lost. The old man is ready to go to Licheng in person, help Nangong Shi, and defend together. ”
Then he looked at Ji Gao, "If Mrs. Yi Ji insists on returning to Xianyu, Your Highness does not have to go against her wishes, you can ask the king for troops, go to Licheng first, and wait for the opportunity to move." ”
Ji Gao arched his hand and said, "Obey the orders of the Grand Master." ”
He turned to Ji Zheng on the side again, "The Northern Peace Talks Department was made by His Royal Highness the Young Master. The situation here is delicate. If necessary, His Royal Highness may need to step out. ”
Ji Zheng also gave up, "The words of the master, Ji Zheng is duty-bound." ”
Jiang Shang looked at San Yisheng again, "In the first few battles, it was all up to Doctor San's strategy, can you go with the old man this time?" ”
San Yisheng replied with a smile: "Although the Taishi commands, San Yisheng will never give up. ”
Jiang Shang looked at us again and asked Huang Tianhua specifically: "Tianhua, you and Yin Jiao Yin Hong are both cousins and brothers. If they are enemies of my Great Zhou, how will you deal with yourself? ”
Huang Tianhua pondered for a moment and replied: "My father is anti-business alliance Zhou, and he takes me as the general of Zhou. If Sister Yin Jiao and my Huangzhou Alliance are enemies, then they are my enemies, what else can I talk about? ”
"That's good!" Jiang Shang said, "Huang Tianhua, Nezha, Yang Jian, and Tuxingsun went to Licheng with Ben Shuai, and Lu Ding stayed in Beijing. ”
All five of us nodded yes.
After coming out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I went back to the Princess's Mansion first, planning to see Mei Lin. Suddenly, she saw Chongxi coming out of her courtyard, and when she saw me coldly, she immediately gave a deep salute and then left quickly.
Originally, this Chongji had been living in the academy, very close to my princess's mansion. But on weekdays, he lives in seclusion and hardly comes to my door. If it was before, I wouldn't have paid much attention to it, but after being reminded by Longji, I immediately became alert.
What is she here for?
I entered Merlin's room and saw that she was still carving on the bamboo slips. The only prosthetic hand turned out to be very proficient.
"Princess Chongji just came? Is there something wrong? "I asked intentionally.
"Oh, it's fine." She smiled, "She's just a little idle." Come and talk to me. ”
I didn't ask anything.
She looked at me, "You're going on another expedition?" ”
I didn't deny it.
"Where are you going?" She asked, "Do you want to go to the country of Li?" ”
"Who did you listen to?" I asked rhetorically.
She smiled, "I don't have siblings, I can't move. But I have eyes, and I have ears. Someone spoke to me. I still have brains, I can think about it myself! ”
"Yes." I said, "Su Hou may have to go on an expedition against Xianyu." ”
"Oh! And so it was. She whispered, "Will Yi Congshan go?" ”
I asked, "Look at her like that, can you go?" ”
Merlin looked at me, "I think she'll go." Let's hope she doesn't die there. ”
The next day I changed into my suit and armor. Before going to Jiang Shang's office, he first went to Ji Gao's mansion to visit Yi Congshan.
I saw Yi Congshan standing halfway on the table, and the maid was putting armor on the outside of her tights. Later, he wrapped her in a short tiger skin skirt to cover the stump of the short section of her thigh exposed under the high-leg pants.
Ji Gao sat on the Taishi chair not far away and looked at her silently. He saw me come in, "Little sister Nezha, I have asked Brother Wang for 50,000 troops, and the generals will send troops to Licheng in the near future to meet you." ”
"Good!" I said, "I'm waiting for you in Li. ”
Yi Congshan on the table looked at me and said, "I really want to fly to the Yishui River immediately!" ”
I said goodbye to Ji Gao and his wife, rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion, where I met Jiang Shang, San Yisheng, Huang Tianhua, Yang Jian, Tuxingsun and Deng Chanyu, and then each made a magic weapon and went to Licheng.
I stepped on the Hot Wheels, and within an hour I had arrived at Licheng.
I entered the original Hou Mansion to meet Nangong Shi, but I saw that Su Xisheng was also on the side. So he jokingly asked them: "General Nangong, Su Gongzi, who of you has the final say now?" ”
Su Xinsheng smiled, "Of course, General Nangong has the final say." I'm already a hostage of General Nangong! ”
"Really?" I asked Nangong Shi.
"Young Master Su," Nangong Shi said, "Didn't we say okay?" It's just a ploy. ”
"That fake show has to be done really!" Su Xinsheng replied.
It seems that this is still true.
Soon, Yang Jian, Jiang Shang and his entourage came one after another. So in the Hou Mansion, he discussed the military situation with Nangong Shi and Su Xinsheng.
Nangong Shi said: "Then let's ask Su Gongzi to introduce it first!" ”
Su Xinsheng said: "Because the third prince of the Kingdom fled back to Chaoge, he falsely accused my father in front of King Shou. My sister had no choice but to blame Xianyu for the capture of Licheng. King Shou was furious, so he ordered my father to send troops to Xianyu, to be ashamed of the country of Xueli. ”
"When Princess Yi Ji was regent, my Su clan had already made an alliance with Xianyu. Although Princess Yi Ji is married to Zhou Guo, Xianyu is in civil strife. But if the covenant comes first, how can it be treacherous? The father wanted to stand still, but Yin Jiao's sister and brother were summoned to Xingyi to coerce the father. The father was forced to be helpless and had to obey. ”
Jiang Shang asked, "Can Yin Jiao's sister and brother hold the edict of King Shou?" ”
"Where?" Su Xinsheng replied, "They just rely on one mouth. The father didn't want to pay attention to them, but Yin Jiao Yin Hong's sister and brother Lu Yue, Yu Yixian, Luo Xuan and others were all masters outside the world, and the two sisters and brothers were carrying heavy treasures. so that my father had to obey. ”
"Feather Winged Immortal, Luo Xuan?" Jiang Shang frowned, "Where did these two come from?" ”
"Uncle Shi," I said first, "I know both of them, the Winged Immortal is a visiting professor on Penglai Island, originally from the Thunder Yin Academy of Mount Meru, and I met the vice president of the Burning Lamp. Na Luo Xuan is Peng Lize Fire Dragon Island Flame Immortal. ”
Jiang Shang looked at me, "How are these two people better than you?" ”
How can I compare? "Be far above the disciples."
At this time, Nangong Shi said: "According to the latest report, Yin Jiao, Yu Yixian, Luo Xuan, his disciple Liu Huan, and his retainer Wen Liang have arrived at Chentang Pass and seized the post of General Guan Yin Li......"
I was nervous. Jiang Shang hurriedly asked, "What about General Li?" ”
Nangong Shi replied: "General Li has left Chentangguan with his family and does not know where to go. However, General Li is cautious and knows things like a god, and he will not make any mistakes. ”
I was a little restless. This damn Yin Jiao!
Nangong Shi continued: "Now Yin Jiao and the others should have led the troops of Chentangguan and headed for Xianyu. According to yesterday's report, Su Hou and his son Quan Zhong, the general Zheng Lun, Yin Hong and his retainers Pang Hong and Bi Huan, Lu Yue and his disciples Zhou Xin, Li Qi, Zhu Tianlin, Yang Wenhui, etc., have also left Xingyi, but the direction is not Xianyu, but us. ”
"They were meant to be us." Jiang Shang said, "The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth." Take things as they come. Get ready for war! ”
