Chapter 128 The Outbreak of War
Yu Xueguo sent someone to pick up the second prince Bai Zifeng, and when he was leaving, the second prince gritted his teeth and said that he would not let Mo Yun feel better, and the envoy who came to pick up the person saw that Mo Yun did not apologize and give gifts, his face was also very ugly, and he also threatened that Mo Yun would give an explanation for the injuries on the second prince's body.
The people in the Ministry of Rites kept saying good things to calm the anger of the envoys, and Yun Yuhong asked: "Regarding the death of Princess Yuxiang, Emperor Yuxue has no explanation?" ”
The envoy replied arrogantly: "Princess Yuxiang is married to the prince of our country, that is the person of our country, whether you live or die has nothing to do with you, and there is no need for our monarch to explain to you." ”
Yun Yuhong was so angry that he raised his whip and was about to whip him, but was stopped by Bai Ziyu and others, which made the minister see that the situation was not good, and he didn't dare to stay longer, so he hurriedly ran away with his men and horses.
Yasukuni Hou also returned to the frontier, and this time, he not only took Bai Ziqi and Bai Zilin brothers, but also Bai Zishu and Bai Ziqi. Originally, there was Bai Erye at the border to take over from the Marquis of Jingguo to take charge of the troops, and the Marquis of Jingguo could stay at home for a few more days, but with the matter of the second prince of Yuxue, coupled with the recent increase of troops in the border area of Chiyanguo, Bai Houye felt that he could rest assured by going to the border pass to watch.
And taking away Bai Zishu and Bai Ziqi is the result of Uncle Bai's hard work. It turned out that Concubine Xiao Gui had been ill for a while, but she had thought about a lot of things, and she finally figured it out after thinking about it.
Concubine Xiao Guifei thought that she was too old to fight those beautiful little goblins, so in the future, she was afraid that it would be more and more difficult for her to speak in front of Master Bai. But she has two sons, and that's the only hope she has for the rest of her life. But these two sons can't do anything, and if no one supports them, I'm afraid they will never come out. But she obviously offended the princess, and her previous attitude towards Bai Ziyu's brothers was not good, so these two people couldn't count on it. And the second room of the Bai family is not to mention it, she and the second lady Bai will tear their faces when they compete for the right to take charge of the family. Therefore, Concubine Xiao Guifei is actually extremely regretful, she has been a family for several years, but she has not got anything practical, and she has offended everyone, and it is difficult to find a way to go now.
Then she heard that Hou Ye was going to take the two Bai Ziqi brothers to Yunbian Pass, her mind came alive again, dressed up to find Master Bai, coaxed him well, and finally let Master Bai run to Hou Ye to intercede, so that Bai Zishu and Bai Ziqi, who were sixteen or seventeen years old, could go to the Yasukuni Army to practice, and it was best to earn some military merits and become a petty official.
Bai Hou Ye doesn't like these two grandsons, the two have been raised by women for many years, they are full of fat and powder, and they have learned some lustful problems with their eldest son. But after all, the child is older, and he is also his grandson, so as a grandfather, he can't help but give him a chance, so he still takes people away.
The second room of the Bai family now only leaves the second lady Bai and Zhao Ruomei, since the eldest lady Bai was beaten back to form a noble concubine, the power of the Yasukuni Marquis Mansion has naturally fallen into the hands of the second lady Bai. And the second lady of the Bai family, the wife in charge, is still very good at behaving in front of the master and servant of the Bai family, dealing with things fairly, with clear rewards and punishments, especially in the affairs of the East Courtyard, she should be in charge, and if she should not be in charge, she will turn a blind eye, she will not take the credit, and she will naturally not have to bear the responsibility. There are no disputes, and everyone is happy and relaxed.
Yun Yuhong was busy with the studies of several children and the training of the army during this time, but Wang Youdao suddenly came to ask Yun Yuhong to be a matchmaker one day. It turned out that for the marriage of his children, Wang Youdao was also heartbroken. The two children have long passed the age of marriage because of the fact that he was demoted, and now although he has been reinstated, there are many people who come to ask for marriage, but unfortunately there is no age that is quite appropriate. It's okay to say that Wang Lekai is a man, but Wang Huilin can't wait any longer. Wang Youdao also proposed a few candidates, but Wang Huilin was not happy, and in the end, he inadvertently learned that Wang Huilin liked Mr. Ning.
Wang Youdao is very clear about Mr. Ning's background, and he can trust all aspects of character and talent, although his identity is a little embarrassing, but Wang Youdao also knows it in his heart. Mr. Ning is Yun Yuhong's henchman, and he will definitely not be wrong in the future, so he came to Yun Yuhong in a hurry to ask for protection.
Yun Yuhong also knew something about the two of them, but she didn't expect it to be so soon, but she was also happy to see it, and immediately found Mr. Ning and Wang Huilin to talk privately, Mr. Ning did not refuse, but said: "Before the revenge is avenged, there is no way to start a family." I don't want to wronged Miss Wang. ”
Yun Yuhong rolled her eyes when she heard Mr. Ning say this, and asked, "You don't seem to be careless about the girl of the Wang family, how many years have you asked the girl to wait for you?" Is it true that if you take revenge all your life, you will not marry for the rest of your life? ”
Mr. Ning, who has always been resourceful, was stunned for a moment, and Yun Yuhong said: "I am in charge of this family business, I will be hired this year, and I will get married at the end of next year." I'm your master, and I'll have the final say on this matter. ”
Mr. Ning bowed his head and said nothing, Yun Yuhong didn't care about him, but Zhang Luo's dowry.
After the second prince returned to China, Yuxue Guo did not make a move, did Yuxue Guo swallow this breath and not make a move? This fool knows that it is unlikely, Yu Xueguo has been eager to try Mo Yun in the past few years, and now with such a good reason, how can Yu Xueguo hold back and not do it. However, two months have passed, and several countries have entered a state of tension and stalemate. The number of soldiers and horses that had been increasing on the border gradually decreased. It's just that it's winter now, and the weather is cold, like Yuxue and Zeyu have had a few snows on the border, which is really not suitable for war, and the New Year is not far away, everyone thinks that this battle may be postponed until next spring.
However, just a few days before the Chinese New Year, an astonishing news came, Jiang Ruizhen, the brave general of the Yuxue Kingdom, led an army of 200,000 to suddenly attack the border between the two countries, and captured the border city of Qincheng in Moyun with lightning speed, and now, on the border of Moyun and Yuxue, the army guarding is the Jingyuan army. Because it is difficult to prevent the army from being stationed in one place for a long time and forming a party, the first emperor stipulated that the four defenders should be rotated every 20 years, and the Jingyuan army was led by Zhao Gang, the eldest son of the Marquis of Jingyuan. I heard the news that the brave Jiang Jun was the eldest son of the Marquis Jiang of the first military general of Yuxue, and was one of the four tigers of the Jiang family. The 100,000 troops of the Jingyuan army suffered heavy losses, and in the end, only 30,000 soldiers and horses were left to retreat to Xiangcheng by the uncle of the Marquis of Jingyuan.
Marquis Jingyuan had already gone to the border to prepare for war at any time a few years ago, but because it was almost the New Year, the family had to prepare for Zhao Ruolan's marriage, so he came back a few days later. Who knew that something like this happened as soon as he left. And Marquis Zhao, who learned the news, walked to the Golden Palace as soon as possible, but he did not come to ask for troops, but to advocate peace.
There are three reasons for Zhao Houye's assertion: First, there are less than 50,000 soldiers and horses in Xiangcheng, plus 30,000 in Jingyuan, and 80,000 soldiers and horses are afraid that they will not be able to stop the Yuxue army for two days. And once the Yuxue army breaks through Xiangcheng, there are only two main cities in the capital that will be there. This is very bad for Moyun; The second is that the four countries are eyeing each other, Yuxue moves, I am afraid that the other countries will also take advantage of the situation, and Moyun's troops are afraid that it will not be enough to stop the other three countries if they block Yuxue, so they should not be entangled with Yuxue now, and negotiate peace earlier, the loss is the smallest; The third is that Mo Yun really has no certainty of victory, so it is best not to fight this battle.
The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty also agreed with this point of view, but everyone understood that Yuxue made a move this time, and I am afraid that it would not be able to deal with it with a small fight like before, and the price that Mo Yun would have to pay was afraid that it would not be small, so in the morning, most people were arguing about the extent to which the peace should be given this time, and who would talk about it to make Yuxue retreat. Occasionally, there were a few main battles, but they were also drowned out in a discussion of the main peace.
Yun Yuhong stared at Jing Yuanhou, only feeling extremely disappointed. She has only heard the phrase "since ancient times, the main military battle, the civil master is peaceful", and she has never seen any military generals who are in harmony. If a soldier can't defend his home and country, and when he encounters aggression from other countries, he only knows how to show weakness and ask for peace, then what kind of soldier is he and what else can you expect him to do?
Marquis Jingyuan was stared at by Yun Yuhong uncomfortably, glared at Yun Yuhong and said: "Speaking of the grievances between my country and Yuxue, it is still due to the ghost king. ”
Yun Yuhong said coldly: "Is this still my fault?" Seeing the princess of your own country being tortured and humiliated like this, will you just swallow your anger? I am different from Zhao Houye, that is my relative, I can't do it. ”
Marquis Jingyuan's face turned red, and Yu Shangshu continued: "We are also indignant and sad about Princess Yuxiang, but the princess also has to think about it for the people of a country, once the war starts, the most bitter thing is the people." ”
Yun Yuhong looked at Yu Shangshu again: "In Yu Shangshu's opinion, if there is no matter of Princess Yuxiang, Yuxue will not invade our border?" ”
"But there is room for moderation," continued one of the ministers.
Scholar Zhou said: "Speaking of Yihe, it was mostly Liu Xiangye who came forward in the past, but now that the prime minister has been replaced by Bai Xiangye, it is indispensable to ask Bai Xiangye to go to the frontier." ”
Some other ministers couldn't stop nodding, Qi claimed yes, Yun Yuhong's eyes swept over one by one, and told himself to keep every face in his heart, these people who bully the weak and fear the hard, and steal their lives are not worthy of being officials, and Mo Yun's court should be replaced.
Qianzong sat on it and didn't make a sound, he had heard a lot about the practices of these courtiers, and he had long been accustomed to it, and to be honest, the balance in his heart was also biased in favor of the Lord. It's just that he knows in his heart that Hong'er will not compromise, and with 100,000 ghost kings to face the 200,000 Jiang family's army, he feels that the chances of victory are very slim, and he is reluctant to Hong'er to take risks.
Yun Yuhong looked at Qianzong and said, "Father, the Ghost King Army has been fully equipped, and it will set off tomorrow." ”
Qianzong sighed, what should come is still coming, no matter how reluctant Hong'er is, he has to fight, all he can do is to give her the greatest support.
Hearing Yun Yuhong's words, the ministers gasped, knelt down together and shouted: "You can't fight, please think twice." ”
