Chapter 51: Bondage
Feng Xianji stayed in Lidu for three days, and these three days were like being born in the clouds, so beautiful that people were worried that one day they would fall.
In the blink of an eye, the day of "falling" came, and Emperor Rui sent 100,000 troops to cross the Yellow River, wanting to take the land south of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop, and he had to leave southern Xinjiang and return to Luoyang to sit in the town.
Feng Yu stopped when she sent him to the city gate, and she said, "Sending you a thousand miles will eventually have to say goodbye, so let's be here." ”
Feng Xianji is not a sticky person, shook her hand, turned over the horse, and grabbed the reins, "It's half a year in short, a year in long, I will definitely come to pick you up." ”
Feng Yu didn't doubt him, stepped forward and brushed the mane of the horse, and said with a smile, "It's good to be safe, take your time with the rest." ”
Feng Xianji greedily swept her face, as if he wanted to remember her in his heart. This parting, he couldn't see each other for months, and he couldn't wait to take her in his arms and take her away.
Feng Yu glanced at him, saw the glow in his eyes, chuckled, and took a step back, "Take care, don't send it." ”
The corners of Feng Xianji's mouth raised slightly, turned the horse's head, and galloped away.
When they decided to be together, they realized that they couldn't keep each other by their side, that he had his ambitions, that she had her beliefs, that these were two paths, and that they had to go their separate ways.
"We'll see you at the end." She looked nostalgically at his speeding back and whispered.
The figure in the distance had completely disappeared, and she turned and walked towards the city, ordering the gates of the four cities to be opened.
Feng Xianji went to his battlefield, and she had to face her own battlefield if she stayed.
The crisis was resolved, and Feng Yu ordered the selection of men of appropriate age to join the army across the country, and the salary given was very generous. At the same time, she decided to start repairing the palace of southern Xinjiang, always living in this palace lost her dignity, as the female monarch of southern Xinjiang, she should return to the palace.
In the former, the courtiers have no objections, and they all understand the truth that only hard fists have the right to speak. But for the latter, everyone still has some opinions.
"Lady, the situation is grim now, and it is not a good time to repair the palace. The people are staring at it, and if a lot of manpower and material resources are spent to renovate the palace, it will also shake the hearts of the people. ”
"Now that we have just restored the country, our foundation is shallow, and there is no income, I am afraid that it will be difficult to carry out the repair of the palace."
Feng Yu naturally had her plans, she said, "You are just worried about two points, one is the loss of money and money, and the other is the lack of money, both of which can be solved." The renovation of the palace is not to build a large number of buildings, but to restore, and it can be repaired briefly without extravagance. I don't bother you with the money, just take it from my private account. ”
"It's not a small amount, can you think about it?"
"Don't worry about this, I still have money to spare here." Feng Yu hooked the corners of her mouth. I think she hasn't been in vain all these years in Daxia, she moved into Xiaoling and sold so many clothes and jewelry, but now it's not a decent use?
Now that the two problems that everyone feared had been resolved, the renovation of the palace was a foregone conclusion, and it was only necessary to wait for the start of work at a later date.
Looking at Feng Xianji's side again, although Emperor Rui claimed to have sent 100,000 troops to cross the Yellow River, it was obvious that he did not have so many soldiers and horses in his hands at this time. According to Feng Xianji's rough estimate, there are about 50,000 people this time.
Emperor Rui did a really good job, with the king of Lu in the east and the king of the southwest in the south, and the power was completely cut into three parts. The two years of imperial career had given him enough confidence, and he reorganized his troops and decided to strike first to end the chaos.
His wishes are beautiful, but the reality is cruel. Not to mention whether it is reasonable for him to use 50,000 horses to attack Feng Xianji's 100,000, even if it is 100,000 against 100,000, he probably has no chance of winning. In that case, why would Ruidi still commit such stupidity?
Feng Xianji meditated day and night, and really didn't think that a person like Ruidi would choose such a method of hitting a stone with an egg. Now that the troops have been assembled, just waiting for the arrival of the Ruidi army, this kind of fighting style of playing with ease and waiting for work opponents cannot bargain for anything.
It was late at night, and the outpost came to report that the enemy had reached Taiyuan.
Feng Xianji was sitting in a chair, holding his forehead to think, and after learning the news of the sentry, he first opened his eyes and was stunned for a moment, and then quickly got up and looked at the map.
"He's not aiming at me." He finally came to a conclusion.
With Ruidi's mind, how could he use 50,000 people to spell Feng Xianji's 100,000? What he really wanted to do was to use 50,000 people to cut off the connection between Feng Xianji and King Lu, and then use a semi-encirclement to completely eat away King Lu's power.
"These 50,000 people can't defeat this king, but they can stop this king's eastward advance." Feng Xianji summoned the lieutenants and advisers overnight, and everyone stared at his movements on the sand table.
"Emperor Rui's idea is to separate this king from the king of Lu and break them one by one. He released the news that he wanted to go south, firstly to lower the vigilance of King Lu, and secondly, to occupy the important military town from south to east, in case we would support. ”
"In this way, it makes sense, his 50,000 people can completely block the prince's army, even if it is delayed, it should be able to drag it until the end of this battle."
"When he destroys King Lu, the next one will be us."
"That's right."
Everyone discussed and debated whether to support King Lu. Obviously, in the bureau set up by Emperor Rui, he should go to reinforce King Lu, so that he is worthy of the 50,000 horses he placed in Taiyuan.
"Once we have reinforcements, our casualties will be large. They are waiting for the rabbit, we are the side of the strong attack, even if we capture Taiyuan, we will suffer heavy losses. "Wen Ruyidao.
"But if we don't support King Lu, once he is destroyed by Emperor Rui, our situation will be worrying."
Everyone expressed their opinions, and when it came to excitement, spit was flying, and the room was full of noise. Feng Xianji was calm, kept staring at the map without opening, and let everyone play.
It was almost dawn, and the people who were fighting were tired, and one by one they fell on their chairs, focusing their eyes on the man behind the sand table. After arguing for so long, it's time to come up with an idea.
At this time, the sky was faint, and a faint morning glow broke out of the clouds.
Feng Xianji glanced at the tired crowd, and finally spoke, he nodded to the position of "Shangjing" on the sand table, and said, "The forces of the imperial court have been dispersed, and the time is right to attack Shangjing at this time." ”
Everyone was stunned.
What's that?
"To support King Lu, we will lose some of our troops, which is not cost-effective. If you don't support him and sit back and watch King Lu be eaten, it will not be good for the overall situation. Therefore, the best thing to do is to attack the upper capital. Feng Xianji knocked on the edge of the table, ignored everyone's stunned gazes, and pointed his sword at Shangjing.
When he said this, everyone understood. Attacking the capital, on the one hand, can make Emperor Rui busy and relieve the pressure on King Lu's side, on the other hand, if he breaks through the city and captures Emperor Rui alive, then ......
The blood of everyone present suddenly boiled, and their eyes lit up, as if they had seen the dawn.
I have to say that Feng Xianji definitely has a surprisingly winning vision in his grasp of the fighter. Presumably, Rui Di didn't expect that he had originally set up an obstacle for Feng Xianji, but in the end, it would become a tomb to bury himself, which was a bit self-defeating.
Feng Xianji sent a letter to Feng Yu informing him of his plan. In this battle, if you win, you can end the chaos and meet as soon as possible, and if you lose, you will ...... If he loses, he loses, he won't lose at all.
Feng Yu read the letter and was a little shocked by his unique style of play. But I have to say that he is really a natural warrior, and once he smells the fighter, he will never let it go easily.
"It would be nice if King Lu could cooperate." Feng Yu read the letter and said to Haitang, "If King Lu cooperates properly, Feng Xianji should be able to take the capital in one fell swoop." ”
Haitang "Why does King Kelu want to cooperate with the King of the Southwest, aren't they opponents?" ”
"Opponents and partners are not eternal, and only interests can determine the position." Feng Yu said.
"Then how can we attract King Lu to cooperate? Is it possible to promise him to divide the world in two? ”
Feng Yu circled around the room twice, frowning and thinking. She rarely had such a serious moment, Begonia didn't dare to disturb, and silently drank tea and nibbled on the side.
"Do you remember that I had a personal favor with the little emperor?" She suddenly clapped her fist and looked up and asked.
Haitang was swallowing a bite of shortbread, her throat was dry, and she poured a sip of tea before she could speak, "You said you saved him last time?" ”
Whether it was her order or not, Second Sister Xu and Haitang did go to save the little emperor, and they also caused her to be beheaded in prison. Doesn't the little emperor want to pay back this favor?
"But can the little emperor speak to King Lu? Even if he agrees, King Lu is willing to listen to him? Begonia wondered.
The corners of Feng Yu's mouth twitched, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, and she said, "The little emperor has his scheming, and he and King Lu are not monolithic. And now she wants to use this relationship to help Feng Xianji.
"Get a pen and paper."
The little emperor will not succumb to King Lu, and King Lu is not really helping the little emperor return to the throne. Since they have their own plans, why not take advantage of them? Feng Yu believed that with the little emperor's ghostly thoughts, he would definitely be able to successfully fulfill her expectations.
In Jinan, Shandong, King Lu naturally felt that the crisis was approaching. He reorganized his troops and decided to fight head-on.
Feng Xianji led his troops to detour through Gansu and decided to attack Shangjing from the west.
Redi didn't notice the danger approaching him, and he was very comfortable with his own way of killing two birds with one stone. It is really wonderful to not only weaken Feng Xianji's forces but also completely remove the thorn in King Lu's eyes.
Feng Yu's letter was delivered to the little emperor ten days after the battle between the imperial army and the army of King Lu, in which she did not mention her identity as the female monarch of southern Xinjiang, but was sending a message to him in the name of Tang Feng.
As Feng Yu expected, the little emperor was not happy with King Lu, he had no long things, and he was under the fence, how could this kind of taste be good? But there was no way, Emperor Rui wanted to kill him, so he could only hide under the wing of King Lu and survive. For him, who has always been proud, it is tantamount to waging his tail and begging for mercy, and his self-esteem has fallen to the bottom.
Feng Yu told him in the letter that if he could persuade King Lu to cooperate with Feng Xianji, then after the war situation was settled, he could move to a fiefdom and be the king of Shun in peace.
It's hard for the little emperor not to be impressed. From the situation in the previous two years, he had already seen that whether it was Emperor Rui of Lu or King of Southwest, he was not their opponent. As a child who is not yet an adult, he simply can't compare to their old scheming. Reset, it's already a luxury.
In that case, why not choose a more generous monarch for yourself? As an ex, he will definitely be jealous and suspicious, but a more generous one will let him be stable until he is old, and if he is ruthless, he can only have a glass of poisoned wine.
Rui Di definitely can't choose, King Lu's chance of winning is not big, and the only one who can pin his hopes on is Feng Xianji. Coincidentally, Tang Feng also made a choice for him.
The two used to be enemies, but after this series of changes, he still believed in her in his heart, not to mention that she had put herself in danger in order to save him.
With such foreshadowing, the little emperor doesn't have to think much about what to choose.
Feng Yu's goal was achieved, although she did not personally participate in this decisive battle, but in this war, her handiwork was everywhere.
In the past, she stirred up trouble in the name of Tang's favorite concubine. Now, she is the female monarch of southern Xinjiang, and her outstanding political means are her sharp weapons to protect the people of southern Xinjiang, she will never let the story of nineteen years ago repeat itself, and she will no longer tie the fate of southern Xinjiang to the hands of a mean and ungrateful emperor. She had to personally choose a partner for southern Xinjiang to work with, and then tie it tightly together.
Fengyu, who is far away in Lidu, is cooking tea, the wind and clouds will meet outside, and the smoke of gunpowder will be filled, and the southern Xinjiang is like spring all year round, stable and smooth. She sat at the window, lowered her head and touched her lower abdomen, if the Southern Xinjiang royal family and the Great Xia royal family have an inseparable blood relationship, is such a tie considered solid?
Haitang happened to come in with soup, and when she saw her stroking her lower abdomen with a light smile, the corners of her eyes twitched fiercely.
"Nujun, you won't be ......" she blinked, the meaning obvious enough.
Feng Yu restrained her smile, moved the teacup away, and put the tonic medicine in the middle of the begonia.
"Not so fast."
Begonia" ...... Does that mean you have this plan? ”
"Sort of." She picked up the tonic and drank it all in one gulp.
Since her last miscarriage, she has decided not to have any more children, so she has taken medicine after each pet. But the medicine is three points poisonous, and there are about a lot of toxins accumulated over the years, and now if she wants to have another child, she must take care of her body.
There's another year, and by this time next year, he should be able to come and see her.
