Chapter 11: The Northern Expedition (End)

Nalan Zhu's treatment is still good, as the hero of this time, although the purpose is not for Daqi, but in the end, the Qi army has helped a lot, and Wang Yuan will not swallow her credit, since she reported truthfully, she is still in her mansion, in addition to not being able to move freely, the treatment can be said to be the best among the captives this time, and there are even ice cubes.

Seeing that Wang Yuan was coming, Nalan Zhu didn't even look at her, Wang Yuan deceived her, and it was impossible for them to let her go to Zhongdu again to witness Nalan Ping's death.

"Nalan Ping is going to die."

Wang Yuan followed Nalan Zhu's gaze and looked at the willow tree outside the window, "I let people spread different news among the various forces in the central capital, the current central capital can be described as a chaos, the prince wants to kill Yelumeng to earn a rescue, it is best to take advantage of the chaos to kill Yeluqi and himself to ascend the throne as the emperor, Pei Manshi wants to kill Yeluqi and the prince and then support an unfavored prince to come to power, and be regent by his own patriarch, as for Yeluqi, I don't know if he will remain calm after receiving the news that his favorite youngest son and his most trusted courtiers have joined forces to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason. ”

"You promised me that I wouldn't hurt Shuhua's mother and son." Nalan Zhu glared at Wang Yuan angrily, and the hatred in her eyes made Wang Yuan feel like a villain who bullied the protagonist in the script.

No, no, no, it's all an illusion, how can a lonely loyal minister like her be a lonely loyal minister who is dedicated to the country.

"What I promised you is that Xu Shunhua is not my Wang Yuan, not to mention, I didn't hurt them, but there is not enough trust between their father and son, what does it have to do with me." Wang Yuan sneered, "Believe it or not, if someone says to our Majesty that King Yan is going to rebel, Your Majesty will not only not believe it, but will also punish the person who sows discord." ”

After living for so many years, he is still so naΓ―ve, no wonder he can't even protect a child.

"If I were you, after the child was discovered by Nalan Ping, I would hand over the child to Nalan Ping to take care of, as long as Nalan Ping still wants to gain a foothold in Huazhou, he must take care of that child, otherwise once he is used by someone with a heart, it will only give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of, and then force Yeluqi to remove him, he worships Yeluqi as a god, how can he tolerate dragging Yeluqi back because of his own mistakes."

Wang Yuan sneered, as if she knew that Queen Chen's taking care of the dragon and phoenix fetus in the palace was not just as simple as recuperating her body, she still generously sent the child into the palace, because she knew that Queen Chen would do her best for the two children even if it was for future planning, not to mention that Da Lang would follow her surname Wang, who was the heir of her Wang family, and would only help the eldest mother in the future, and of course she would do everything to cultivate the two children.

Nalan Zhu's mood has stabilized a lot recently, even if she was stimulated by Wang Yuan like this, she didn't get angry, she just glanced at her lightly, and said, "You came to me to fall into the well?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Naturally not.

"I came to ask you, what do you plan to do in the future, do you want to stay in Huazhou or move to Guannai, after all, you have helped us so much, and I will be responsible for your future life."

"No need." Nalan Zhu rejected Wang Yuan's kindness, "I still like you a lot, remember to take care of Mu Du'er for me." ”

What Muduer?

Before Wang Yuan could ask, Nalan Zhu pushed her out of the room, and the female soldier standing guard outside the door hurriedly supported Wang Yuan, "Dr. Wang, do you need our help?" ”

"No need," Wang Yuan stared at the door, and only looked away for a while, and carefully told the two female soldiers before leaving, "You have worked hard these days, pay more attention to her movements, she has gone completely crazy, don't let her hurt you." ”

"No."

Take care of Muduer?

Why did she think she knew the news of her niece and grandson, maybe Liu Shuai would know?

Who knows.

Even if he knew that Liu Shuai wouldn't tell her, after all, he was just a prisoner, how could he work as a group of generals with the highest status in Daqi.

Wang Yuan shook his head and returned to the camp where the Qi army was stationed, Huazhou was an important town, and there were 10,000 soldiers left behind.

After all, the defenders of Huazhou surrendered, although they were seized by the Qi army, they still had the power to resist, in case the Liao army rebelled and trapped Liu Shuai's Northern Expedition team in the territory of Liao to close the door and beat the dogs.

"Zhao Huochang, what are you going to eat today?" Wang Yuan took advantage of the fact that the people in the army were busy scattering the Liao army and sending it back to the north to build border fortifications, and sneaked to the logistics kitchen, just wanted to eat a steamed bun while an acquaintance was stopped by Zhao Huochang, "If Dr. Wang is hungry, I will make you a bowl of soup cakes, and the steamed bun is for the Liao, you can't eat it." ”

Wang Yuan obediently withdrew his hand and showed an expression I understand to Zhao Huochang.

Is there any material in the steamed bun, Wang Yuan blinked.

Zhao Huochang nodded deeply.

To be honest, they are under a lot of pressure from the Huotou Army, every time they cook for the enemy, they have to add ingredients to it, and Zhao Huochang even thinks that he can find a barren mountain and open a black shop after he retires from the army.

Of course, this is just a joke between comrades-in-arms, veterans like them who have been in the army for many years can't fall to the point of opening a black shop even if they really retire, the military system of Qi is inherited from the former Jin Dynasty, and in the early years, when the country was poor and couldn't open the pot, there was no shortage of subsidies for veterans.

The food added to the food of the Liao army was not poison, but some sweat medicine, which would make them drowsy and weak after eating, and it was also to prevent the Liao people from mutiny and prevent them from having the opportunity to escape from the barracks.

Zhao Huochang chatted with Wang Yuan while looking at the pot, "I just heard a few pioneer army boys say that the prince went to look for you, can you see the prince?" ”

"He's looking for me?" Wang Yuan was overjoyed at first, and then thought that he was at Nalan Zhu's place when the vanguard army was repairing, and he felt a little regretful, "Maybe he missed it, how did he run to the front." Wang Yuan asked, didn't he say that his team would be in the right army?

Could it be that something happened during the time he was away?

The Huotou Army is worthy of being the most well-informed place in the army, and Zhao Huochang quickly gave an answer, "I heard that it was because Lord Zhou was making trouble and had to go to the Right Route Army." ”

Brother Zhou Wang, if it were someone else, Wang Yuan might have to think about whether there was any conspiracy, and if it was Brother Zhou Wang, she wouldn't be worried.

After all, Brother Zhou's fiefdom was on the route of the march of the Right Route Army.

According to the habits of this dynasty, the fief of the prince and the princess is generally determined at the age of ten, and the brother of the king of Zhou was born unfortunately, he was the first prince to divide the fief after His Majesty ascended the throne, and His Majesty in order to express his determination to regain the lost territory of the Liao State in the north, the fief of the king of Zhou was assigned to the capital of Bozhou.

So much so that when Brother Zhou became a vassal last year, he didn't even have a place to go, so he took the princess and the child to the north to join Chen Guogong in a fit of anger.

It's really embarrassing.

This war, which had been prepared for 14 years, ended quickly, because of the chaotic political situation in Liao, the Qi army did not encounter much resistance, and all the prisoners were treated similarly, building roads or repairing city walls, and the complicated rammed earth work would consume a lot of their physical strength, and long-term heavy physical labor could also smooth out their spirit, which was enough to ensure that they would not gather people to rebel after three years of service.

In just two months, the northern border was restored to two-thirds of the Jin Dynasty, which was enough to be called an immortal achievement, and as a rule, the prisoner sacrifice ceremony was held, and Chen Guogong selected more than 100 people from several cities with fierce resistance to be brought back to Jinling to participate in the prisoner sacrifice ceremony.

The sacrifice ceremony is an insult to the enemy, naturally those who voluntarily surrender or symbolize resistance will not be allowed to participate, the character is docile and cannot rush around, the appearance of the prisoner must not be too ugly, if it is not good to startle the holy car.

Chen Guogong picked and chose according to this standard for more than ten days before taking King Yan and his wife and King Zhou to the south.

Emperor Xuanwu did not urge, but when Chen Guogong arrived in Jinling, he went out of the city with Empress Chen for ten miles to meet the triumphant arrival of the army.

The two monarchs and ministers hugged their heads and cried half-truths outside the city, one said that he was ashamed of his majesty's trust and did not recapture Bozhou until now, and the other said that the victory of Bozhou was enough to comfort Emperor Gaozu and Empress Xiaowu in the spirit of the sky, and even Empress Chen was wiping tears on the side, King Zhou and King Yan looked at each other, pinched their thighs violently, and their eyes were instantly red, and Empress Chen pinched the time to persuade Emperor Xuanwu to say two sentences, and if she did not enter the city, she would miss the auspicious time.

The reception banquet was held in the Ziguang Pavilion, and this kind of noodle banquet was always very boring, after all, few people dared to eat wildly in front of the leaders, wasting their precious cooking skills in vain. Often at the end of the day, I didn't eat much, but the wine poured into my stomach.

Today will be a little better, because their biggest leader Emperor Xuanwu is happy, the first to break the rules is Emperor Xuanwu, poured two glasses of wine in a row to make the conductor of the orchestra almost make a mistake, and later saw that Emperor Xuanwu completely let go of himself, the official simply changed a war song, and the majestic music together Emperor Xuanwu couldn't sit still at all, what to eat, get up!

The top bosses are all gone, can the officials below still sit still? Of course not, anyway, everyone is happy, then get up and dance, anyway, who can't dance on this occasion is embarrassed, and they won't dance etiquette.

The dance ceremony comes from the Zhou ceremony, which is the etiquette of the courtiers when they face the king, and later in the Jin Xuanzong was crooked into a large-scale ball, which is generally used in large-scale banquets, the monarchs and ministers dance together to sacrifice the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth, and it is okay to dance when the old man is weak, and it is not rude to accompany a play, and it is okay to make a beat no matter how bad it is, and some of the lower positions can also take the opportunity to fish and eat a few more mouthfuls of food.

It's always a courtesy for all ages, hello, hello, hello, everyone, most courtiers don't mind dancing with His Majesty for a while, after all, they are happy to win the battle.

Wang Yuan was dragged to dance by Princess Huaining, and Xiao Shao, who was tragically abandoned, picked a pipa and ran to Princess Huaining's colt to harass her brother-in-law, and gained Wu Ying's white eyes, you have the ability to snatch your daughter-in-law back, what's the use of making trouble with me.

A good reception banquet was stirred up by Emperor Xuanwu into a large-scale drunken jumping scene, the high-dancing minister stepped on the drum and was sent out of the palace by the palace people, holding the pillar and complaining about how hard he had worked all these years, Emperor Xuanwu was knocked out by Queen Chen and carried back to the palace in the eyes of King Zhou and Xiao Shao, Wu Ying helped the slightly drunk Princess Huaining to say goodbye to the two, Wang Yuan was drunk and ruthless, holding Xiao Shao's face and smirking, taking advantage of Xiao Shao's farewell to King Zhou, he took a bite on Xiao Shao's face, Xiao Shao's face turned red instantly, hurriedly saluted King Zhou, picked up Wang Yuan and ran out, completely ignoring King Zhou's indescribable expression.

You still have tooth marks on your face, fourth brother.

"His Royal Highness King Zhou, do you want to stay in the palace?" A palace maid asked with a smile.

"Stay!" Why don't you stay, behave intimately in broad daylight, and bully him The princess is not in Jinling, right?

A group of fools who went home to take care of their daughter-in-law, he could play with his niece and younger brother in the palace, King Zhou thought vengefully.
