Chapter 213: Border Battle
[This is your biological mother, you are now in the Xia Dynasty. 】
When she arrived in the Xia Dynasty, she woke up and asked her mother, who she didn't know well, for help, which seemed a little inappropriate.
"I just woke up, my brows were furrowed, do you have any thoughts, is it for the new emperor of the Zhou Dynasty." She heard that the two of the Zhou Dynasty were fighting, and the Tartars in the north were guarding outside, for fear that something would blow up.
As a queen, there will be no less news, but the time when her daughter woke up made her unwilling to let her take care of things.
When the emperor of the Xia Dynasty heard that his daughter was awake, he trotted over, and when he saw his daughter's weak appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, and he was more angry with the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty.
"Child, you can rest assured when you come back, no one will hurt you here."
Lu Xiaowan endured it for a long time, but she couldn't call out her mother and father, she had already called Qin Cuihua her mother.
"Don't worry, I know that you and your adoptive mother have a good relationship, and there is still a little strangeness between you and us." He tucked Lu Xiaowan's quilt away.
The hungry Xue Mu Yan over there still had a headache, the people he saw not only had no brains, but they were also very ruthless to the people, the women and children were tied there, and the clothes on their bodies did not protect them from the cold.
"Alas, you see that my people are going to suffer with you, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid they won't be able to support it, it's really cold this year."
He wrapped his mink fur a little tighter, and Xue Muyan's Dark Guard began to move, approaching the nearby places where there were fuses, and a few places that began to get wet.
Fine sweat began to appear on Xue Muyan's head, and the Tartar next to him also felt that he couldn't wait, the Zhou Dynasty had such a terrifying weapon, and the city they captured was very likely to not be able to keep it in the end.
"If you go outside, you must first settle inside, brother Huang, I can make an oath today, I will never do anything to you until the Tartars are expelled cleanly, the thirteen cities are good, and now there are at most two cities."
The Tartars deceived people too much, and he coaxed them to wait until he won the throne and wiped them all out in one fell swoop, and since then the Zhou kingdom has been in the world together, and there will be no more disputes.
"The ghost is nice, but I can't help but listen."
The Tartar's soldiers and horses obviously began to gather here, he seemed to be able to hear the sound of the horses running, and there were some noisy cries all around, and finally he couldn't stand it, if the Tartar really took away all the border cities in his hands, and became the emperor in the future, I am afraid that he would also be laughed at by future generations.
Open the gates?
He hesitated in his heart.
Xue Muyan picked up the knife in his hand, showed no mercy to the Tartar who came over, shouted and began to fight.
Although I don't know if I can go back alive, I know that even if I die on the battlefield today, I can't hand over the city in my hands.
The prince finally figured it out, and ordered the secret guards to go down to help, and the generals with him were not patient, so they put the people down, took their swords, and slashed at the tartars, and the snow fell heavily, and the blood donation dyed red everywhere, and without the trees as a barrier, everyone was exposed.
There began to be more and more tartars, and the people brought by Xue Muyan gradually became insufficient, and the prince also found that his people could not support it for long.
"Xue Muyan, give you a clear road, thirty miles west of here, which is the territory of the Xia Dynasty, you go there to find Lu Xiaowan, she is a princess, as long as you move in to rescue the soldiers, the border dilemma can be solved."
The map of the Thirteen Cities was leaked by him, and the current situation naturally needs him to solve it, since he escaped, he has not slept peacefully, maybe he can sleep forever today.
Xue Muyan looked at the prince whose face was covered with blood, and hesitated, after all, he had betrayed the thirteen border cities, should he leave just now.
"If you don't believe me, don't you believe the people of the thirteen border cities either? I'm really going to sell the thirteen cities, and when you come, you'll see that I'm already on the Tartar side, and besides, Prince Ben doesn't bother to act. ”
After saying a burst of horses, he saw a pair of horsemen coming in the distance, which he had prepared for himself.
In this case, only one of the two can leave, and if both of them die here today, and no one in the court speaks, things will get out of control.
"I'm leaving, my eldest brother is alive and waiting for me to come back with the troops."
The fate of the prince himself was also thought of, the explosives had already been buried nearby, and when the Tartars came, they could all be disposed of, and finally everything had an ending.
"Your Majesty, there are more and more Tartars."
The deputy general has been following the prince for many years, starting from the secret guard, he watched the prince take a wrong step and make a mistake, and now his end.
"It doesn't matter, when everyone is here, you can walk with me, and you won't be lonely on Huangquan Road."
After speaking, he began to look up to the sky and laugh, the knife in his hand seemed to be enchanted, and he slashed people frantically, the soldiers fell one by one, and the roar of the war horse was endless, until there was a boom.
The entire city was burned, and the explosions blew up the surrounding towns, and the cavalry led by Xue Muyan did not go to the Xia Dynasty, but went to the nearest city.
Most people didn't even know what it was, and they thought it was terrifying, after all, after a burst of explosions, there was an avalanche, and there were buried villages everywhere.
"Your Majesty, I thought something had happened to you, but I didn't expect you to escape safely, so I'll prepare food for you."
Xue Muyan did not stop, and transferred the soldiers and horses from the northeast overnight to guard the border, there were many wars in the southwest, he couldn't do it, and the rest of the place was left in the southeast.
"How far is the Xia Dynasty from here?"
The Tartars were not dealt with, and with the help of explosives they should be able to scare them for a while, and if they were not swallowed up all at once, it would never be possible to restore peace between them.
"Back to Your Majesty, the Xia Dynasty is only ten miles away from here."
It is not possible for the emperor to go to other countries to borrow troops, and the face of the Zhou Dynasty is estimated to be lost in the future, but the Tartars are eyeing it.
"Let me ask if you have any envoys to the Xia Dynasty?"
"Naturally, they don't have it, but I can, Your Majesty has been here for so many days, and you haven't thought of sending a letter to Miss Lu? After all, she is now a princess, and a letter can settle the dispute between the two countries. ”
Ning Xiuyuan finished reading Ning Hao, and then rushed to the border pass Just arrived here yesterday, after knowing Lu Xiaowan's whereabouts, he planned to stay here, and then find a way to go to the Xia Dynasty.
Xue Muyan was naturally unwilling, Lu Xiaowan was safe now, and the Xia Dynasty would not send troops for a princess who came back from outside.
"I didn't ask, but Ning Xiuyuan, you have a good relationship with Wan'er, so you won't put this kind of thing on her."
They come and go, and they don't think of themselves as outsiders in the slightest.
Xue Muyan thought for a while and was not informal, the essential interests of the Xia Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty interacted together, and they were inextricably linked, and they could not be separated at all.
"Then you go to the Xia Dynasty, the two countries have been friends for a hundred years, if something happens to the Zhou Dynasty, his Xia Dynasty will naturally not be spared, but speak tactfully."
When Xue Muyan agreed, he would be able to do it quickly, the Xia Dynasty sent troops, with newly made firearms, the Tartars would soon be destroyed, and the Xia Dynasty was originally a small vassal country.
The capital has already been prepared, the soldiers and horses everywhere have been deployed, Fu Zheng has already sent a letter, and the Xia Dynasty only needs to arrive for two or three days, and they can rush to the front line.
"Fu Zheng has already transferred the defenders of the northeast, southeast and several other cities in the north, but it will take a few days, Ning Xiuyuan, I will give you three days, and I will also take the soldiers on the border to fight hard for three days, waiting for you to come with reinforcements."
In the next three days, the Tartars entered the palace day and night, and the use of gunpowder was so great that half of the attacking Tartars were resisted, and they were blown up before they reached the city.
The same is true of the Xia Dynasty, Lu Xiaowan, who is in the Xia Dynasty, has a terrible headache, and the speed of recovery of her body is very slow, and the second is because Xue Muyan's large-scale use of thermal weapons makes her frightened.
"Mother, queen mother, can you send a few more people to inquire about the situation on the front line?"
As soon as she heard about the casualties, she knew that life was not easy for both the Tartars and the Zhou Dynasty this year.
More worried that before the army arrived, Xue Muyan was ruthless and destroyed the small countries around him.
"There is no news, the Zhou Dynasty has made a weapon that has never been seen before, it is extremely powerful, I heard your father say that the Tartars in the north have been damaged by 100,000, and if it goes on like this, it is estimated that the Zhou Dynasty will be able to swallow the nearby by the beginning of spring next year."
As the empress, she was very worried about her people and her daughter who had just returned, and the emperor did not come to visit.
Lu Xiaowan hesitated greatly, once the thermal weapon began to be used, it would not stop in the future, and it would be impossible to return to Xue Muyan's side if it was handed over to the Xia Dynasty, and if it was not handed over to the Zhou Dynasty next year, the Xia Dynasty would inevitably be destroyed.
"Mother, I've seen that thing, it's called gunpowder, it's extremely powerful, if we do it, we will probably be hurt by it."
[The introduction of gunpowder is a bad start, you can't be a communicator, this is a hard requirement of the system. 】
"Is it the right thing for me to do if I want to do it first? Xue Muyan's large-scale use of thermal weapons has already killed many people. ”
After the system gave a taboo, she simply banned her about the language system relationship of gunpowder.
[You have to know that the system is unlikely to give up the story advancement, the great unification is in line with the future development trend, you look at what you look like after you tell the Xia Dynasty about the gunpowder production method, corpses are everywhere, and there are wars everywhere. 】
She couldn't struggle, so she could only say a few perfunctory words.
Ning Xiuyuan's spies heard Lu Xiaowan's voice, guessed the gunpowder from it, and sent the news to Xue Muyan, the two discussed for a while, and came to the Xia Dynasty with dozens of boxes of gold and silver to prepare for peace talks.
"Your Majesty, the best way now is for you to marry Miss Lu as your wife, as for the old ministers in the court, you don't have to take care of them, the ministers believe that when the time comes, they will have to accept it if they don't accept it."
The generals stationed at the border looked at the matter of harmony very normally, and it was very suitable for the princess of the neighboring country to marry, and to appease the Xia Dynasty, so that the next battle would not be attacked by the enemy.
"I have already sent the news back to the capital, has Ning Xiuyuan arrived in the Xia Dynasty?"
