108. And pro-conspiracy
An Yuelian married Xili far away, and the wedding team sent her from Nanyue Kyoto to Liangchuan, the capital of Xili Kingdom, and when An Yuelian arrived at the palace in Liangchuan, An Yuelian accidentally found that Xili Wang Yu Wenyi had no intention of getting married.
Xili, Liangchuan Palace, the main hall.
When An Yuelianlian, who was draped in the phoenix crown, walked into the main hall lightly, Xili Wang Yu Wenyi was sitting on the throne.
Xili Wang Yu Wenyi's face was cold and hard, but he could still see a little ruthlessness, and he could see the nobility between his breaths. Looking at it from afar, you will feel that this is a good-looking face, which makes people a little unforgettable at a glance, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, hair is tied into a vein, just like a person, not soft, and the sturdy posture is just sitting in front, which makes people dare not step forward.
The envoy of Xili clasped his fists and saluted: "King, Princess Nanyue Qingsui has been brought." ”
Xili Wang Yu Wenyi saw An Yuelian, and said lightly: "I have heard that the beauties in the Nanyue Kyoto Palace are like clouds, and Princess Qingsui is really beautiful, and this king likes it very much." ”
The eyes under a pair of rough sword eyebrows were cold and playful, and the corners of his mouth were coldly hooked, and he said coldly: "Come on, from now on, Princess Qingsui has become the princess of my Xili Palace, and she will take the princess of this king to the Xiyou Palace, and without an order, the princess will not be allowed to step out of the Xiyou Palace for half a step." ”
"No!"
After receiving the order, his subordinates were going to take An Yuelian to the West Hidden Palace.
An Yuelian frowned slightly, and said secretly in her heart: I must not take half a step out of the West Shadow Palace? Does this count as house arrest?
"Wait!" An Yuelian said.
Yu Wenyi hooked his lips coldly and asked, "Are you still in trouble?" ”
An Yuelian said: "If I marry you today, I will also be your wife or concubine, why can't I leave the West Shadow Palace for half a step?"
Hearing this, Xili Wang Yu Wenyi stepped down from the throne, walked up to An Yuelian and raised her chin, and said coldly: "Princess Qingsui, your father's country will be mine, do you think this king will really marry you?" ”
An Yuelian's expression turned grim and asked, "Yuwenyi, don't you really want to kiss?" ”
"How bold you dare to call the king by his name?" A minister snapped.
As soon as the sound fell, An Yuelian took two steps back in an instant, stepped on the gorgeous mopping red wedding dress, almost fell but no one helped her, An Yuelian shook her head, and glanced at the ministers around Xili again in disbelief, there was no joy on her face to celebrate the marriage of King Xili, no one regarded herself as the princess of Xili, and there was no wedding atmosphere at all.
Xili Wang Yu Wenyi patted An Yuelian's face vigorously, made two "snap" sounds, a pair of thick sword eyebrows slanted, and said coldly: "Princess Qingsui, the princess of this king, Nanyue has been defeated in the hands of my Xili, do you think this king will give up attacking you Nanyue for the sake of just a woman?" ”
An Yuelian was in a trance, the king of Xili in front of him would not break through the Nanyue defense line on the border of Nanyue just to marry a princess of Nanyue, let alone give up attacking the entire Nanyue for the sake of a woman from another country, so this is just a ploy of King Xili in the end?
Emperor Nanyue was tricked?
An Yuelian never expected that being close to her relatives was just a conspiracy, and she was just a chess piece.
Xili Wang Yu Wenyi walked back to the throne, sat down and said: "Give me a good look at Princess Qingsui, don't let her have a little mistake, this king has a lot to keep her, if she makes a little mistake, there will be no mercy, take it down!" ”
"No!" The two attendants and several maids answered in unison.
After An Yuelian was taken to the West Shadow Palace, several maids guarded her every step of the way.
General Li Huai, a subordinate of King Xili, walked into the main hall, knelt down and clasped his fists and saluted: "King, everything has been arranged, and the attack on Nanyue Imperial City is determined to win!" ”
Yu Wenyi said: "Okay! Now that Princess Qingsui is in our hands, if the emperor still wants to keep her baby daughter, it is best for me to surrender obediently and give me the Nanyue River, otherwise his baby daughter will not be able to keep it, as soon as the Xili army comes out, the entire Nanyue will be buried with Princess Qingsui! ”
General Li Huai said: "Wang, the unbreakable defense line on the border of Nanyue has been broken by our army, and the soldiers on the border of Nanyue have suffered heavy casualties, but it has not yet been completely captured, when will our army be stationed at the border?" When did it invade the entire interior of Nanyue Kingdom? ”
Xili Wang Yu Wenyi said: "I'll go tomorrow." ”
"No!" General Li Huai said.
Before the emperor made a decree to pass the soldier and tiger talisman to Anwar, he was ready to make an edict to make Liang Yuan, the prince of Rong, the marquis of Guannei.
Recently, the yellow fog has been filled, and the emperor ordered to ask the ministers of Nanyue extensively, whether Nanyue has committed any taboos, and Wang Xin, the elder brother of Wang Shiqing, the queen mother, has always been afraid of Prince Rong's power, and deliberately said in front of the emperor that this is caused by the invasion of yang qi by yin qi, and then moved out the words of the first emperor, and the first emperor had an agreement: only the great heroes who have at least passed the year of establishment can be crowned marquis. And Prince Rong was not only in the year of his establishment, but his previous military exploits were not enough for him to be made a marquis, and the prince with similar conditions in the previous royal family had never enjoyed such treatment, so the weather would change differently than usual.
Wang Xin's party, who followed the queen's elder brother, took advantage of the emperor's desire to be a marquis, and submitted the matter of Prince Rong's resistance to the decree and forcibly taking away Feng Yuanzhi, the maid of the trial court, and then slandered one after another: Prince Rong is holding a soldier and tiger talisman, and there are currently 80,000 soldiers in charge, and the power is tilted to one side, and he has established an unbreakable prestige among the soldiers and the people, and they have been honored by attaching themselves to Prince Rong, and even the soldiers and the people have rumored that Prince Rong's merit is greater than that of the emperor, so the emperor's position should be sat by Prince Rong.
Feng Yuanzhi has stayed in Prince Rong's mansion since the night she was brought back to Prince Rong's mansion.
The empress's elder brother Wang Xin and his party stirred up the relationship between the emperor and Liang Yuan, and the emperor naturally did not listen to slander at will, but after hearing more slander, he would also feel that these words were reasonable.
The border defense line outside the pass has been breached, Xili into Nanyue, and the matter, in the view of the Nanyue Emperor, is to temporarily alleviate the critical situation, the princess of Qingsui went to Xili and the matter spread throughout Nanyue, Prince Rong Liang Yuan held a soldier and tiger talisman, and his subordinates controlled 80,000 troops, in order to prevent Xili from changing hexagrams, ordered that all soldiers in the near future must be recuperate, ready to defend and attack at all times.
Anwar has been worried and worried in recent days because his sister An Yuelian concealed his marriage to Xili, and he didn't know how Lianlian was doing well in a foreign country.
As for the maid Feng Yuanzhi, there has always been no shortage of maids in the backyard of the trial court, and she has already developed the habit of taking care of her own life in the nine years of Qingming Mountain, and she does not need a maid at all, and she asked the emperor to order Feng Yuanzhi to come to the trial court as a maid, because she was afraid that the emperor would punish her to the frontier to suffer, and it was not impossible for her to leave the trial court, at least she could be free.
As for Feng Yuanzhi staying by his side, Anwar thought to himself that Liang Yuan, who had always put aside the love of children in state affairs, would definitely not do anything to her during this period. Every time Prince Rong returns less than half a year, he will go to Guanwai for another three years, and what happened between Nanyue and Xili in recent days may make Liang Yuan rush to Guanwai in advance and send troops to support the army outside Guanwai.
Liang Yuan took Feng Yuanzhi to the barracks, his subordinate Ou Xiao followed behind them, the two walked side by side in the barracks, Liang Yuan said: "These soldiers are brought back after I brought them out of the customs from Kyoto, this king went to the battlefield when he was a teenager, and there are many soldiers who have followed me from birth to death over the years, among which the one who has been with me for the longest time is Ou Xiao." ”
Feng Yuanzhi said: "I have long heard that you have killed countless enemies on the battlefield, every time you go to Guanwai, you go for three years, and after you come back, you will go to Lingchuan outside Guanwai for less than a year, but I didn't expect that you came back this time in less than half a year, and Lingchuan was captured by Xili." ”
"Yuan Zhi, now that the Lingchuan defense line has been breached, although Qingsui's sister has gone to Xili and relatives, I am still worried that there will be changes, after all, the king of Xili broke through the Nanyue border defense line but only to marry a Nanyue princess, it is really unreasonable, now the soldiers outside the pass are recuperating, there are many dead and wounded soldiers, and now there are very few remaining troops, I took the will of my father, and I will lead the troops to go to the gate in three days, I am not by your side during this time, you must remember to take good care of yourself."
Feng Yuanzhi thought that the person in front of her was about to leave Kyoto for another three years, and she felt a little reluctant in her heart.
Seeing the reluctance on Feng Yuanzhi's face, Liang Yuan asked, "What, are you reluctant?" ”
Feng Yuanzhi did not respond.
After Wang Yu Wenyi of Xili was under house arrest for two days and two nights in Xiyou Palace, he took her to Nanyue with the mighty army, and stationed a military camp not far from Lingchuan City, the border of Nanyue.
Nanyue border, Lingchuan Castle, military camp.
The subordinates hurriedly reported: "Report! General Zang, the king of Xili and the army of Xili, was stationed in the lower reaches of the Lingchuan River, and nearly one-third of Lingchuan City was occupied by the army of Xili. ”
General Zang Yanjiao, who has led troops in Lingchuan for many years, heard this, and his eyebrows jumped: "Didn't my Nanyue send Princess Qingsui to Xili to make peace?" Why did King Xili bring his army over? ”
General Zang Yanjiao suddenly reacted and exclaimed: "It's not good, it is Xili's strategy to make peace with him, and Xili took advantage of the matter of peace and relatives to kidnap Princess Qingsui!" ”
His subordinates were shocked, and then said: "General Zang, King Xili not only brought the army to the lower reaches of the Lingchuan River to station, but also brought Princess Qingsui with him. ”
General Zang Yanjiao's heart was shocked: "What?!" ”
General Zang Yanjiao frowned tightly: "Sure enough, I want to hold Princess Qingsui hostage with the intention of forcing our army to surrender and attack Kyoto directly, our troops are now suffering heavy casualties, there are only 5,000 soldiers left, how many troops did King Xili bring over?" ”
"General Zang, there are about 200,000 people coming."
General Zang Yanjiao was shocked: "Two hundred thousand! Oops, go and inform General Zeling Chengliang and Prince Rong of Kyoto, and let them send troops to rescue! ”
"No!"
His men left the camp and hurriedly sent signal smoke grenades into the sky.
When General Zang Yanjiao heard the voice, he hurriedly rushed out and shouted, "Who told you to set off smoke bombs?!" ”
Sure enough, the Xili soldiers heard the sound of smoke bombs released by the Lingchuan military camp, looked at the fireworks formed in the sky, and learned that the soldiers on the border of Nanyue had already known that they had come to the camp in the lower reaches of the Lingchuan River, and that Nanyue's soldiers and horses in Lingchuan were no longer able to resist and were seeking to rescue them.
Lingchuan is located on the border of Nanyue, the closest place to Lingchuan and the place with troops is Zeling City, General Zeling Chengliang received a distress signal, and immediately took all the remaining 3,000 soldiers to Lingchuan to rescue.
Xili Wang Yu Wenyi smiled evilly: "Ask for troops to rescue, it's very good, this group of people really can't stand it." ”
Yu Wenyi then said sharply: "Pass the order, now immediately give me to enter Lingchuan City from the southeast, north and south, and annihilate all the remaining soldiers in Lingchuan City in one fell swoop before the arrival of Zeling City reinforcements, and completely attack the interior of Nanyue tomorrow, and then break through Kyoto in one fell swoop!" ”
General Li Huai responded: "No! ”
The reason why Yu Wenyi ordered to attack Lingchuan Castle from the southeast, north, south, and west, and ignored the west direction was because the west direction had been blocked by high mountains, and if he attacked from the southeast, south, south, and south, he could eventually force all the remnants of Lingchuan to the west and wipe them out.
Wang Xin and his party sowed discord in the palace, and the emperor gradually listened to the slander of Wang Xin and his party, and instead of giving Liang Yuan, the prince of Rong, the title of marquis, he confiscated his soldier and tiger talisman, so Liang Yuan no longer had the right to fight, and he had to stop preparing to go to Lingchuan to support.
As soon as the carrier pigeon of Lingchuan Castle flew, the request for support from Prince Rong outside the gate was written in a letter and brought to Kyoto, Wang Xin ordered someone to lay down the carrier pigeon that carried the message, took the note back, and then wrote a reply letter refusing to send troops to rescue, and asked another carrier pigeon to bring the reply back to Lingchuan Castle.
The food in Lingchuan Castle was exhausted, and the number of soldiers was getting smaller and smaller, so the distress message flew to Kyoto, but the reply received was that Prince Rong refused to send troops to rescue.
The soldiers under General Zang Yanjiao complained about Prince Rong.
Seeing that Xili's army was about to attack, General Zang Yanjiao asked his men to lead 2,000 people to try to attack Xili's army first. In front of the battle, none of the 2,000 soldiers survived the battle with the Xili army, and all of them were killed.
General Zang watched his soldiers die one by one, and reproached: "Liang Yuan, we used to experience life and death together, and now my life is not guaranteed sooner or later, you have 80,000 soldiers and horses in your hands, but you refuse to come to the rescue, where is the life and death you said back then!" Why don't you keep your word and come to fight to the death with me? ”
Suddenly, another soldier came urgently: "Report! General Zang, the Xili army has attacked the big camp, and the border defense line will be completely defeated! ”
Another soldier lifted the curtain and reported: "Report! General Zang, the Zeling City army that came to the rescue has been all killed on the way here! ”
General Zang's heart was shocked, and he shouted: "Pass the order, all the soldiers swear to protect the Nanyue border to the death!" Kill them all! ”
The soldier said: "General Zang must not, the difference in strength between us and the enemy is too great, such a move is equivalent to being buried in the sea of fire!" ”
General Zang's eyes widened, his eyes were about to split, and he asked sharply: "I will defend Nanyue to the death in this life, and the Nanyue border defense line will be defeated on all fronts, so what reason do we have to live in the world!" ”
"General Zang!"
"Report!" Suddenly, another subordinate opened the curtain and reported: "General Zang, the Xili army is about to break through our camp, and if we don't evacuate, our army will be wiped out!" ”
With a "bang", General Zang clenched his fist and slashed down, and the wooden table was split in half and fell down in an instant.
One of them came to report to the soldiers: "General Zang, the enemy army attacked our army camp from the southeast, north and south, Prince Rong refused to send troops to rescue, our army could not compete with the enemy, and now the only direction that can escape is the west, General Zang, let's quickly retreat from the west, and if we don't retreat, our army can only be a mermaid in vain, and let the enemy step on the corpses of our soldiers to attack Nanyue Kyoto!" ”
The Xili army thought that after attacking from the southeast, south, and south, they would force all the Lingchuan troops to the high mountains in the west and wipe them out, but they never thought that the Lingchuan army had already spent several years carving out a secret passage in the high mountains in the west.
General Zang closed his eyes tightly and widened again, and shouted in a deep voice: "Pass the order, all the soldiers will evacuate from the Xishan Pass!" ”
"No!"
After the Xili army completely broke through the Lingchuan camp, seeing that the camp was empty, Yu Wenyi smiled evilly: "Running really fast." ”
General Li Huai said: "Wang, do we want to catch up and kill them all?" ”
Yu Wenyi said: "No need, no one sent troops to rescue, the Nanyue border has been completely defeated, this group of small soldiers and young generals can't make much of a climate, let's go directly to Kyoto." ”
Li Huai responded: "No! ”
