Chapter 90: One Move

Although it is difficult for the Southern Tang Dynasty to protect itself now, His Majesty the Southern Tang Dynasty is unwilling to find some stubble for the Ling Kingdom.

The news of the current emptiness of the army in the Ling Kingdom came from the Southern Tang Dynasty, and then after the boiling news spread by the spies of various countries, it was already a half-moon scene, and it had not yet waited for any storms in those countries.

The news of the imminent marriage between Ling Guo and Chang Chu, those countries who originally heard about it and were about to move, couldn't help but take a break from their thoughts.

In the past half a month, the lord of Chengqiu seemed to be at a loss of proportion, and let the king of Lingguo Zhennan lead the army all the way to Huanglong and capture several cities in a row.

In the end, it was Chengqiu who shocked the ministers when they heard the name of the king of Lingguo Zhennan.

All of a sudden, the momentum of the southern king of Lingguo Town was completely unstoppable.

It's just that I was also afraid of King Zhennan, and the letter of the lord of Chengqiu was directly submitted to Hua Yunxiu's desk.

I heard about Cheng Qiu's current situation.

Just when the countries were about to move, they never thought that Linglan, who had been in a state of overlooking, would take the lead and join the melee.

The lord of Chengqiu, who had not waited for the reply of Ling Guo, who still had some thoughts, woke up from a dream when he heard the news.

Knowing that the general trend has gone, the king of Lingguo Zhennan is already unstoppable, and now he has added the brave and warlike Linglan.

Cheng Qiu is now in a precarious state, and he can only let the South King of Lingguo Town join forces with Linglan to gradually devour Cheng Qiu's territory little by little.

If anyone is allowed to go on like this, Cheng Qiu is afraid that he will have to change his name and surname.

Just when Cheng Qiu was in a panic, he was in a panic.

However, Chang Chu, who had been silent, suddenly moved, and after the news of the marriage broke, he joined forces with Ling Guo to coerce the Southern Tang Dynasty to give an answer within half a month, otherwise he would bear the consequences.

What exactly the battle in the Southern Tang Kingdom was like, others are not very clear.

However, due to the current rivalry between Chang Chu and the Ling Kingdom, the Southern Tang Dynasty finally compensated the several major cities that relied on the Ling Kingdom in the name of His Majesty the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Among them, there is even a prosperous city that can be called the capital of the sea.

After letting Nantang bleed hard, Chang Chu and Ling Guo died down.

These cities received from the Southern Tang Dynasty were taken as dowries by Emperor Jingde of the Ling Kingdom and divided into the name of the county lord of Qinghuang.

And, now the county lord of Qinghuang has become the princess of Qinghuang.

Because Linglan was in it, the pace of the Zhennan King's expedition eased down.

Others just thought that Ling Guo was afraid of another dispute with Linglan.

But only a small percentage of people know the truth.

"Lord Wang, that's it." Seeing that Sikong Ao seemed to be in a stunned state, the deputy general involuntarily whispered a few words to Sikong Ao.

"Lord Wang?"

Sikong Ao's eyes flickered, as if he had just come back to his senses, and he couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at the deputy general, and his brows subconsciously frowned slightly. "What?"

Seeing that Sikong Ao's fierce eyes had already been thrown over, the deputy general subconsciously bowed his head and said. "Now Linglan has joined the melee and began to annex the area along Pingfuzhou, according to their trend, I am afraid that it will not be long before the area of Pingfuzhou will be completely taken over by Linglan."

The deputy general said, and the bottom of his eyes couldn't help but show a little fiery color.

It's no wonder that this deputy general showed such a look, after all, this Pingfuzhou can be said to be the richest territory in Chengqiu, surrounded by mountains and water, with sufficient water and food, it can be said that it is a place where soldiers must fight.

Sikong Ao didn't know what the deputy general was thinking, glanced over lightly, and said in a low voice. "Is Linglan coming in the direction we are coming from?"

The deputy general didn't seem to have thought that Sikong Ao would suddenly come to such a sentence, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, raised his eyes to look at Sikong Ao, and hesitated. "According to the report from the spies ahead, it seems that there has never been such a sign, and after the Linglan army captured Pingfuzhou all the way, they went towards Tianjinhuan."

"That's it."

"Since Linglan has never had the heart to compete with us, why should we send it to the door based on our own ability?" Sikong Ao's tightly knit brows never slackened. "Don't forget what we're in."

Sikong Ao's words were like a slap in the face, and a stick came down, dispelling away the pride that he had originally accumulated because of his constant victory.

The heat in the general's eyes had just receded a little.

I was secretly awakened in my heart, and I said that I was really confused.

Linglan is not as good as Chengqiu, the people of Linglan are fierce, they can be said to be good at riding horses and archery, and the Linglan army can be described as brave and good at fighting.

"Apart from that, there's nothing else?"

The deputy was slightly stunned by Sikong Ao's sudden question, and looked up at Sikong Ao in confusion, constantly recalling what he had said before.

Seeing the puzzled look, Sikong raised his eyebrows arrogantly and asked. "There's no news coming from China?"

As if he was awakened by Sikong Ao, the deputy general suddenly realized, glanced at Sikong Ao, and didn't know what to think, his eyes flickered for a moment, and then he whispered. "Princess Qinghuang and the third prince of Chang Chu will probably get married in a month."

Speaking of this, the deputy general couldn't help but sigh slightly. "In the end, they are twin brothers and sisters, the emperor values this sister very much, and not to mention the position of the lord of Qinghuang, he actually divided several cities cut by the Southern Tang Dynasty into the name of Princess Qinghuang, as the dowry of Princess Qinghuang."

This is really the first princess in the history of the Ling Kingdom who carries the marriage of the ten major cities.

It can be seen how Hua Yunxiu values this sister-in-law.

"Married." All Sikong Ao's thoughts were condensed on these two simple words, his heart suddenly jumped, a kind of déjà vu, indescribable taste slowly began to spread from his heart, Sikong Ao only felt that his mouth was extremely bitter.

Suddenly, it seemed to remember that I saw Hua Qinghuang marry an unknown outsider with my own eyes.

Although Sikong Ao was unwilling at that time, he was clear in his heart, Hua Sang was the only orthodox bloodline in the Ling Kingdom, as the princess of the country, if he was a concubine.

It is absolutely impossible to be in power, and Hua Sang opened his mouth to himself at the beginning.

Between military power and Huasang, which one will he choose.

He knew it in his heart, and Hua Sang knew it.

That's why he hid all his thoughts.

Now that Hua Sang has ascended to that position, all he needs is a strong backing.

And herself, who grew up with her, is the best candidate.

Therefore, since the beginning of the fight, he has been stepping into the position of the king of Zhennan, and he has already doomed the ending between him and Hua Sang.

It's just that he thought that after all these years, he probably forgot about it.

But I never thought that the emotions that had been hidden in my heart for so many years would burst out at the moment I heard that Hua Sang had passed away.

After hearing the news that the beautiful woman had passed away, he was in a panic before he woke up.

Even if he ascended from a helpless nobody to this king with a different surname, what can he do?

In the future, no matter which emperor ascends the throne, as long as his position is stabilized, he will definitely weaken his military power, and if he controls it to a certain extent, he may be able to end up with a whole corpse.

But if it is a little contrary to the master's thoughts, I am afraid that it will be a dead body.

It's just a pity, even if he knew that this news was transmitted, and there might be explosions in it, he didn't have time to scruple so much, he abandoned everything, and rushed back to Kyoto from the border army, but in the end, he could only see the coffin she sealed.

As a courtier, he didn't even get a chance to look at her for the last time.

As a colt, it is not her turn to guard her spirit.

It's just that before he can completely come out of it, he doesn't know whether he is stunned or what.

He actually saw Hua Sang's shadow from the infamous Qinghuang County Lord in the past.

At that time, King Dehuai happened to throw the olive branch over, but unfortunately, the beauty had not yet entered his arms, and the outsider was sideways.

King Dehuai swayed from side to side, so that in the end, everything was out of his control.

The piece handed over by himself was politely rejected by the county lord of Qinghuang on the grounds of serious injury.

While he was very worried about the injury of the Qinghuang County Lord, he never thought that he would actually meet the Qinghuang County Lord in the Southern Tang Dynasty.

The county lord of Qinghuang was young, and he had such courage and skill, and he dared to sneak into the Southern Tang Dynasty alone.

Just to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, to disrupt the situation in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and to seek a glimmer of life for the Ling State.

If it is said that it was just because I saw the shadow of Princess Huasang on the body of the county lord of Qinghuang, no matter how similar the cousins are, they should have a degree.

But in the Southern Tang Dynasty, he actually had the illusion that Hua Sang was alive.

Just when Sikong was arrogant, he heard the deputy ask hesitantly. "Lord Wang, there is really something unknown to my subordinates."

"Why hasn't there been any news from Lingguo for a long time?" The lieutenant pondered. "Isn't it because you need to prepare Princess Qinghuang's family affairs, so the emperor hasn't taken measures?"

Sikong Ao's deep eyes fell on the face of the deputy general, as if he had never understood what the deputy general was talking about, so he was inevitably a little absent-minded.

"yes, why?"

Although most of the army of Ling Country has been organized by him, the lifeline has been pinched by him.

If he is a little rebellious, he just needs to find a reason and turn his head around.

Hua Yunxiu is afraid that he has not yet sat down in that position, so he has to let Xian.

This simple truth, he doesn't believe that Hua Yunxiu is not clear?

Why is Hua Yunxiu now making a big fuss about Zhang Yunzhen's marriage, as if he has forgotten about them?

Isn't it just to win over Chang Chu?

After having foreign aid, only to adjust and deal with them?

Sikong Ao thought it through, but he always felt that Hua Yunxiu should not be like someone who made such a stupid move.

After all, the current military strength in the Ling State is empty, although Chang Chu and the Ling State are married and allied, but if His Majesty Chang Chu knows the true situation in the Ling Kingdom, how can the dowry of the small ten cities be worth the entire Ling Kingdom?
