Chapter 472: In Command
Just when Yan Beichen and the courtiers of Yan State were worried, the reinforcement letter written by Qi Changrong himself had been sent to Yan State by 800 miles, and it was presented in front of Yan Beichen's book.
In the imperial study, Yan Beichen didn't speak for a long time, he looked at the letters on the desk, frowned slightly, and seemed to be unable to pay attention for a while.
Seeing this, the chief eunuch at this time presented a cup of hot tea and persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, if you are really not at ease, why don't you break the contract?" ”
"It can't be destroyed." Yan Beichen picked up the teacup, pecked a sip of hot tea, and sighed: "I have already ruined it once more than a year ago, and if it is destroyed again, the face of Yan Guo will be completely ruined."
It's a fact.
But if it was just like that, Yan Beichen wouldn't even have the courage to break the contract.
But until now, he didn't know how capable Qi Changrong was.
She asked him for 50,000 soldiers and horses at this time, but did she really need these 50,000 soldiers and horses?
Not necessarily, at least until now, he has not heard that the Jin State is in a tight position, not to mention that since the beginning of the war, the Jin State has always pressed the Liang State to fight.
He didn't know what these 50,000 soldiers and horses Changrong wanted to do with them.
Seeing Yan Beichen's distressed frown, the chief eunuch secretly sighed in his heart, and then said, "Your Majesty has decided to lend 50,000 soldiers and horses, why should you think too much?" The current situation is already a dead end. ”
Breaking the contract will make Yan Guo no longer credible.
Fulfilling the agreement will put Yan Guo in a dilemma.
After a while, Yan Beichen finally made a decision.
"Grinding ink."
The chief eunuch replied in a low voice, "Yes." ”
The black ink stained the nib, and the nib fell on the rice paper one word after another that seemed to be related to the fate of the future.
It wasn't until the reply was written that Yan Beichen had time to slowly exhale a breath of turbidity.
I have to say that sitting in this position, in addition to finally achieving his life's wish, there is also an infinite and fulfilling responsibility.
Every decision he makes seems to have nothing to do with the people, and he needs to think twice before acting.
"You give this to General Li, and order him to draw 50,000 idle soldiers from the country, lead them across the Jin-Yan border, and temporarily obey the orders of Prince Changrong."
The chief eunuch borrowed the holy decree with both hands and said cautiously: "Do you need to explain anything else?" ”
"Not necessarily." Yan Beichen smiled bitterly: "Although I don't want to admit it, I have to admit that the current Prince Changrong can be said to have taken the lead, no matter what I do, I can't recover the loss at this moment." ”
So, it's better to stay calm.
Things in the world have always been like this, and there is giving to gain.
At the beginning, he ascended to the throne without wasting his efforts, and Prince Changrong made great contributions.
Even in order to save the last face, it is not suitable to completely anger Prince Changrong at such a time.
After thinking about it, Yan Beichen didn't bother anymore.
The chief eunuch turned and left.
After a while, the chief eunuch, who had explained important things to his subordinates, came back with news.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Xiang Niangniang feels abdominal pain and is crying in the harem, do you want to meet her?"
At the mention of Sun Xiangyu, the tone of the chief eunuch unconsciously became a little more solemn.
This lady is not ordinary from ordinary mothers.
Concubine Xiang and His Majesty have a childhood sweetheart, and the relationship between the two is unusually deep.
Therefore, whenever something happens to Sun Xiangyu, the chief eunuch will always report it to Yan Yiheng as soon as possible.
Hearing this, Yan Beichen frowned, and said in a deep tone: "She just had a miscarriage, and it was when her body was weak, what was she doing at this time?" ”
The chief eunuch glanced at Yan Beichen and replied thoughtfully: "I heard that he was collided by Yang Meiren, and there was a small quarrel between the two. ”
Yan Beichen stroked his eyebrows: "Yang Meiren is just a beauty, since she offended Concubine Xiang, she will deal with it according to the rules." ”
The chief eunuch stopped talking, but mourned in silence for the Yang Meiren who could never turn over again.
The little prince died in the womb of Concubine Xiang, His Majesty and Concubine Xiang were depressed, and when they bumped into the two of them at this time, didn't they fall into bad luck?
……
Yanhou Palace.
Sun Xiangyu, who was pale, half-leaned on the beauty couch, put his hand lightly on the jade pillow, and asked with heavy eyes: "How did Your Majesty deal with that little slut?" ”
The palace man replied cautiously: "Yang Meiren has just been beaten into the cold palace by the following offenders. ”
Hearing this, Sun Xiangyu, who was in a gloomy mood, finally felt a little more comfortable.
Thinking back to Yang Meiren, who didn't know the height of the sky, her heart was even more indifferent.
However, the daughter of a small county official wanted to compete with her, and she really didn't know what to say.
However, Yang Meiren is the daughter of a county official.
And she is really an orphan girl.
Compared with other concubines in the harem, it has fallen more than one time.
Thinking of this, Sun Xiangyu continued to ask, "Lanxin Mansion...... Can someone send a message in? ”
"Not really." The palace people cautiously glanced at Sun Xiangyu's reaction, and when they saw that although she was displeased, she didn't react much, so she continued to reply: "The gate of Lanxin's mansion is closed, and our people have been sent back before they set foot on the lake." ”
"Niangniang, don't you have to test the prince's attitude again?"
"Try!" Sun Xiangyu's face distorted and said: "I grew up with him, could it be that he can really abandon me?" If you send someone to spread the word again, you will say that the palace is worried and sick, and you want to invite the prince to the palace to see him. ”
If Yan Yiheng heard this, he was afraid that he would be surprised.
Because, in just over a year, everything in this deep palace has completely turned Sun Xiangyu into another person.
has become an unscrupulous deep palace lady to achieve the goal.
Hearing this, the palace people beside him wanted to persuade him, but when his eyes touched Sun Xiangyu's stubborn eyes, they swallowed all the words back.
Even if they all knew in their hearts, the prince would never change his mind because of this incident.
Although I don't know how the emperor, Niangniang and Wang Ye fell out, the people in Yan Palace know very well that since the emperor ascended the throne, these three people have gradually drifted apart.
Until now, the prince of Lanxin Mansion has not stepped out of that lake for more than a year.
……
Ten days later, 50,000 soldiers and horses traveled from Cheng'an, and the mighty procession attracted the attention of many people.
When they learned that this was because of the Jin Liang war, and the Yan State had signed a friendship agreement with the Jin State, so they sent troops to help, and their hearts were full of emotion.
Yan Yiheng, who was sitting in the Lanxin Mansion fishing, couldn't help but sneer after getting the news: "He is really willing, once these 50,000 soldiers and horses are lent out, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get them back." ”
Things on the battlefield change quickly.
Almost every moment someone is dying on the battlefield.
Just like the 5,000 people he lent at the beginning, although he successfully brought down the enemy who was still the great prince at that time, the price he paid was extremely heavy.
Who knows how many people will come back at the end?
The housekeeper looked helpless: "Lord Wang, what you said is very unreasonable." ”
These 50,000 people have to borrow and borrow, and they have to borrow if they don't.
Yan Beichen has long had no choice.
"This king is just expressing the discomfort in his heart."
Yan Yiheng pursed his lips and said unceremoniously: "Now this king really doubts that he has been sitting in that position for too long, indulging in the gentle countryside and unwilling to wake up......"
"The prince said." The housekeeper interrupted Yan Yiheng gently, blocked the next words, and reminded him: "No matter how reluctant the prince is, now that one is the king, and the prince is the minister." ”
"......" Yan Yiheng rolled his eyes, revealing a look of watching a good show: "This king wants to see how long he can be a king." ”
The housekeeper shook his head and stopped talking.
At this moment, he ran into a small house from outside, and leaned down to the butler's ear and whispered a word.
This time, Yan Yiheng noticed that something was wrong for the first time, a spiritual light slipped through his mind, and he hurriedly said: "This king said, if it is about Concubine Xiang, there is no need to say more." ”
"The path she chooses, even if it is bloody, she can only walk by herself."
"In the future, if anyone dares to knock on the door of the king's palace again and again, they will beat Lanxin Lake with a stick."
As soon as these words came out, the two of them didn't say much.
The butler showed a look of relief on his face, and waved his hand to the little guy with a relaxed face.
Now he is really relieved that the prince has really expelled that one from his mind.
……
Another month and a half passed.
The 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Yan Kingdom stayed on the other side of the boundary river and set up camp.
I don't know how long it took, Qi Changrong wore a riding suit and rushed over thousands of miles in person.
And behind her, there were two elderly generals.
The two veterans have gray temples, but their eyes are shining, which makes it difficult to look at them directly.
Looking at the 50,000 soldiers and horses with black eyes, Qi Changrong explained to the leader for a long time.
Immediately, the 50,000 soldiers and horses were divided into two.
30,000 people left with the veteran, and 20,000 left with Qi Changrong.
They were moving in two directions.
Until Shi Xia, who was also riding in uniform, rushed over out of breath, and said to Qi Changrong with little relief: "Your Highness, do you really want to lead the troops in person?" Isn't that too much child's play? ”
The dignified Prince Changrong of the Great Jin Dynasty, it is not good to stay in the East Palace, and it is just a matter of getting ink, and it is unbelievable that he will lead the troops and hang up the handsome.
Qi Changrong faced the hot wind and smiled very heartily: "Lone has traveled here, do you think that Lone will turn around and go back without accomplishing anything?" ”
Shi Xia's heart tightened, and said: "The slave knows that His Highness wants to clean up the barbarian clan, but now there are only 20,000 soldiers and horses, if it really fights, I am afraid it will be very difficult." ”
Although the barbarians are small tribes, they are divided into several ethnic groups and are located in different locations, and even if they are all gathered together, it may not be enough, and their soldiers and civilians may be less than 100,000.
But on the contrary, this group of people has extremely strong combat effectiveness, just like wild wolves, and they can't be shaken off easily if they are provoked.
20,000 people went into battle......
It's almost impossible to win.
"Of course Lone knows that his arms can't twist his thighs, don't worry, this time, Lone Ding should try not to clash with them head-on, and outwit them."
