81. Counteroffensive
On Hu Xiajun's side, the king and prince died tragically, and there was chaos all of a sudden. The rumor that Qiu Chi Protector Immortal Ji had the help of the gods made the entire Hu Xia army disheartened. The soldiers had no intention of fighting, and only wanted to return to the court. After the generals in the army discussed, they quickly sent a letter back to Tongwancheng and began to withdraw their troops.
But as soon as the order to withdraw the army was issued, a sentry came to report that Qiuchi had counterattacked!
"Wudu Kaicheng has counterattacked!"
After a while.
"Yin Ping has also sent troops, and he is detouring to the northwest at this time!"
"They're going to cut us off our way back to Tongwan!"
"No! If you are caught in two directions, you will die without a place to be buried! ”
"Why don't you take the northeast and avoid the Yinping army?"
"The northeast of Qiuchi is full of mountains, if you strayed into it, wouldn't you be trapped alive!"
"It's better than dying now, maybe there is a way out!"
Hu Xia's leading troops hurriedly discussed, and immediately led their own troops to the camp! The soldiers in Hu Xia's army did not even have time to pull out their tents, so they threw off their armor and fled to the southeast.
As soon as they entered the mountains, the Huxia people were blinded. It's just early spring, and the surroundings are still bare and barren, making it difficult to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, and the Huxia people have no direction like headless flies as soon as they enter. Several groups of men and horses fled in all directions, led by several leading leaders. Because they did not dare to fight, several Xia troops avoided the Qiu Chi army. When the army withdrew in a panic, even the grain and grass were not enough to escort them, and Hu Xiajun was surrounded by Qiu Chijun, panicked and ran around hungry.
There were many winds and rains in the mountains, and cold winds blew down for a few days, and many Huxia soldiers fell ill.
It wasn't until fifteen days later that the forest that stretched for miles suddenly broke off, and a large lake of depression was revealed. The hungry and crazy Hu Xiajun rushed down to fish to satisfy his hunger, but he was stunned to find that the circle above the depression had been surrounded by Qiu Chijun!
"It's over! Hit the trick! ”
Who would have thought that Qiu Chi would not let go of the victory at his fingertips, but slowly drove Hu Xiajun into the trap like an animal, and let them jump into the trap without scruples, willingly, and even happily!
In the Duzheng Palace, Yu Yu is discussing with the ministers.
"What's going on over there with Hu Xiajun?" Seeing General Yao with a happy face today, he knew that most of the things had been done.
"Hui Xianji, all of them have been trapped, eighty percent of the 30,000 people are left, and they are raised by a lake, and they won't be able to die for a while."
"Then we have to send someone to urge Hu Xia's new emperor, if Helian Chang doesn't send someone to sue for peace, the fish in our lake will be eaten up!" Liang Weng twisted his beard and said, as soon as this remark came out, everyone in the hall burst into laughter.
Invite Yu couldn't hide his joy, and ordered, "Since this is the case, it is up to Liang Weng to bother with this matter." Please also ask General Yao to work hard for a few more days, and don't make any mistakes at this time. ”
Liang Weng and General Yao both bowed down and said, "No, I will definitely live up to the trust of Xianji." ”
Invite Yu looked carefully at the people below, He Lu had already returned. But Yao Zhongjian has never heard from him, and he is more than lucky.
I heard that Yao Zhongjian is the only son of General Yao Zheng, but because of his own ...... She couldn't help but feel a little sad, unwilling to discuss matters again, and waved her hand, "Now that the two counties are in ruins, I also ask you to work together to revive the enemy." That's all for today, the prime ministers on the left and right will stay for a while, and the other ministers will step down. ”
After everyone dispersed, Ying Yu slowly leaned back on the chair, raised his hand and rubbed the corners of his forehead. Ying Yan, the personal maid who invited the rain, saw it and hurriedly stepped forward to help invite the rain to rub it.
After inviting the rain back, she began to officially go to the court to listen to the government, and there were many miscellaneous things in the country, she was somewhat uncomfortable, and it was reasonable that she would be so tired.
"Sit down, two prime ministers. I kept you here because I wanted to ask how the matter of Penglai Yan went? Invite Yu relaxed his tense shoulders and asked lightly.
Qin Zhongzhi immediately reported, "The national book banquet sticker has been delivered to our country and the Song Dynasty. It was reported that the Song dynasty wanted to send Liu Yilong, the king of Yidu, who was now stationed in Jingzhou. ”
"Liu Yilong? Is it the brother of Emperor Song? ”
"Exactly. He is the third-ranked prince of the Liu family. Qin Zhongzhi knew that Invite Yu had a grudge against the Liu Song royal family, and he was cautious in his answers.
"What does Liang Weng think?" Seeing Liang Weng's eyes narrowed, Invite Yu knew that he had other news.
Liang Weng twisted his silver beard and said, "The old minister heard that King Yidu has been weak and sick since he was a child, and he has not been liked by Emperor Wu of Song. Before he was the year of the weak crown, he was sent to Jingzhou. This time he was sent to Wei, one was to worry about the royal etiquette, and the other was afraid that he felt that a prince who had been ill for a long time would not worry if something really happened. ”
"Penglai Banquet, the name is good, but it's just a peace, what can happen." Invite Yu sneered at the courage of the Liu Song royal family.
Liang Weng also agreed, "Exactly. Both countries are new emperors who have ascended the throne, and their foundations are unstable. Why is there no internal insecurity? The move to negotiate peace is the common wish of the two countries, and there should be no trickery in it. ”
Invite Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "They are safe, so we have a chance to breathe." It's just that in the northern countries, Emperor Wei only named me, it's hard not to make people have scruples, and Liang Weng has to find out the news in many ways, so it's good to know yourself and the other. ”
Liang Weng bowed, "No." ”
"In addition," said Yu with some guilt, "and asked Liang Weng to send more men out to find out Yao Zhongjian's whereabouts along the Yellow River." Today, please also take a trip to Yao's Mansion for me, seeing that the New Year is about to end, Yao Zhongjian still has no news, you can help me first to comfort General Yao, and tell him that we will definitely do our best to find out. ”
"No. The old minister will go immediately. ”
Invite Yu to bow his head and let Ying Yan send Liang Weng out of the palace, and only Invite Yu, Qin Zhongzhi and Zimo standing in the dark were left in the huge meeting hall.
After Liang Weng left, Qin Zhongzhi probed his head and asked, "What does this mean, girl?" To appease the Yao family, why should Liang Weng go in person? ”
Invite Yu said coldly, "Didn't Liang Weng just say, if you are not inside, why should you worry about the outside." Now that the external troubles are temporarily removed, there should be people in the country who want to make waves. Stabilize the Liang and Yao families, and my seat will be stable. ”
Invite Yu took the fruit on the table and threw it to Qin Zhongzhi like a monkey, "You did a good job in the 'Golden Light Xiangrui' of Fuqiling the day before yesterday. ”
Qin Zhongzhi happily accepted the reward, and replied with a line of narrowing his eyes, "It's just a gourd to draw a scoop." It's just this kind of thing, the minister thought that Liang Weng would have arranged it a long time ago. ”
Invite Yu snorted coldly, "Demon girl, goddess, it's not all one-sided. He was afraid that I would be difficult to control, so naturally he would not put so many 'auspicious' signs on me. If he really wants to turn against me one day, he can talk about the tragic deaths of Helian and Helenlun. ”
Qin Zhongzhi listened to Invite Yu's words, and was not the slightest surprised, but relieved. What he was most afraid of in the past was that he couldn't see through the rain and relied on Liang Weng for all his power, but now it seems that he is worried about the sky.
Invite Yu stared at Qin Zhongzhi for a while and said, "Liang Weng has had a lot of chores recently, and he has no time to take care of him, what should you do, don't need me to say more." ”
Qin Zhongzhi knelt on the ground at the moment, and made a pilgrimage to invite the rain to the ministers, "The ministers should be smeared with their livers and brains." ”
Invite Yu took advantage of the post-war reconstruction to send a bunch of things to Liang Weng, which seemed to have trust in Liang Weng, but in fact, he asked Qin Zhongzhi to take the opportunity to observe which were Liang Weng's people, which were from the Yao family, and which were the people that Invite Yu could woo. Only when Qin Zhongzhi has a foothold in the middle of the court, can Invite Yu stand tall. And handing over this position to Qin Zhongzhi, who is as cunning as Qin, how could he not know that Invite Yu gradually regarded him as his own at this time.
Zimo has never been able to fully believe in Qin Zhongzhi, not many people know about inviting rain into the Northern Wei Dynasty, and Qin Zhongzhi is one of them. Now that Yao Zhongjian is dead, it is likely that someone leaked the news, which led to Yao Zhongjian being robbed and killed. Otherwise, he is an envoy of the enemy's pool, with a rewarded dancing queen, what is worth making a move?
