Chapter 23: The Crisis Emerges
After that, Wen Huan ignored Su Baiyang's obstruction and went straight to Mo Zicheng.
"Let him go."
Hearing Wen Huan's words, the two soldiers who held down Mo Zicheng looked at each other, and then their eyes turned to Su Baiyang.
"Didn't you hear General Wen?! Let go! Su Baiyang's face was very ugly at the moment, but he couldn't openly turn his face with Wen Huan, so he had to speak in an unkind tone.
Breaking free of the two soldiers, Mo Zicheng suddenly raised his head and said urgently to Wen Huan: "General, I am Mo Zicheng, I am!" β
"Oh? Master Su, what's going on? β
"Ah, a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."
Su Baiyang laughed a few times, and the roots of his teeth itched with hatred in his heart.
"In that case, Ben will take this person away."
"Ahh General, please take care of yourself. β
In this way, Su Baiyang watched the person who was the biggest threat to him being taken away by Wen Huan, and all his efforts tonight were in vain.
"My lord, what should I do?"
The commander of the Danzhou army stepped forward and whispered beside Su Baiyang to ask.
"You will personally bring some elites to follow you later, and you must kill this Mozi Cheng for me before they arrive in Beijing!" Su Baiyang's eyes were calm, "Remember, this matter is related to the overall situation, and you must do whatever it takes, you can only succeed, not lose!" β
"The last general understands!"
Before dawn, Huang Fuhong returned to the inn and briefly explained the cause and effect of the incident to Yun Lan.
"I didn't expect that there would be a city gate to intercept this..."Yun Lan was slightly shocked in her heart after hearing this, "Fortunately, you arrived in time, otherwise this matter would be completely dead." β
"General Wen and I traveled day and night from Shouzhou, and we didn't dare to stop for a moment, lest we miss a big event, but fortunately we caught up in the end."
Huang Fuhong smiled, his cheeks were slightly pale, probably because he had worked too hard all the way.
"Although we have successfully found the witness, I am afraid that the journey to Beijing will not be peaceful. However, I have instructed General Wen to be careful on the road, and if he wants to come to the combat strength of the Shouzhou battalion, nothing will go wrong. β
"This is natural," Yun Lan smiled slightly, "This time, Mozi is escorted by the elite of the Thousand Cavalry of the Shouzhou Battalion, unless he Su Baiyang mobilizes the army, otherwise if he wants to stab Wen Huan's nose, it is almost impossible to succeed, but there is no need to worry too much." β
"Okay, Brother Hong, you can rest first, and then go back to Beijing after you have enough energy."
"Brother won't go back with me?" Huang Fuhong's expression was surprised, and he blurted out.
"There are indeed some things that I need to do over there in Shunzhou."
......
Last year's cold winter was too long, and Yun Guo, a farming country in the middle, was fine, and a nomadic country like Yan Guo in the north, the long cold winter was undoubtedly a huge blow to them.
Since the beginning of spring, some tribes in the Yan Kingdom connected to the Great Cloud have often sent troops to harass and loot the border towns of the Yun Kingdom due to lack of food, which has caused the Yun Kingdom court a headache.
"Humph! It's all prevarication, this Yan Wang is really too unreasonable! β
In the Chengtian Palace, Emperor Yun sat on the dragon chair and slammed the Chinese book in his hand, full of anger. Most of the ministers at the next station bowed their heads and did not dare to say more.
"Father, the Yan people have repeatedly violated my border, which is really hateful, and my sons think that they should immediately send troops to expel them."
King Jin saw that Long Yan was displeased, and immediately jumped out, and said solemnly.
"I don't think so. Yan Yun's repair is not easy to come by, once we officially send troops, it will be equivalent to declaring war on Yan, Your Majesty should be cautious! β
The person who spoke was Shangshu Zuo Servant Yang Yu, who was cautious and did not dare to agree with the radical actions of the King of Jin.
"Then what Lord Yang means is that the wanton intrusion of the Yan thief is ignored like this?"
"It's not that he ignored it, Yan Guoshu said that he didn't know about this before, and he was very sorry for it, and he would definitely strictly control his subordinates in the future..."
"Hmph, this is just their excuse, Lord Yang won't be naΓ―ve to believe it, right?"
King Jin sneered, his voice full of disdain.
Ignoring King Jin, Yang Yu turned around and said respectfully to Emperor Yun: "Your Majesty, it is not a trivial matter for the two countries to go to war, the Yan Kingdom has become more and more powerful in recent years, if it really wants to fight, even if I can win as far as Dayun is concerned, it will inevitably hurt my muscles and bones." β
The minister thought that he could severely reprimand Yan Guo's behavior in the national letter, and use Yan Shizi to put pressure on King Yan not to act rashly. If King Yan does not listen to the advice and insists on going his own way, it will not be too late to use troops at that time. β
"What Yang Qing said is reasonable,"
If Emperor Yun was in his prime now, he would not hesitate to adopt the advice of King Jin and immediately use troops against Yan. But now it's not as good as before, not to mention the strength of the Yan Kingdom, just because of Emperor Yun's body, which is becoming more and more difficult to support, he can't start a war rashly.
From this point of view, we can only endure for the time being, and make peace first. Of course, if the King of Yan really swelled to the point that there was no one in his eyes, then the army of the Great Cloud Border King would not be afraid to fight with him.
"What does Zhen Guogong mean?"
After all, this is the northern military, so the emperor still has to listen to the advice of this general on the battlefield in the north in the end.
"The minister thinks what Lord Yang said is very reasonable."
Seeing that Huangfu Tao supported Yang Yu, Emperor Yun didn't say more, "Then let's do it, in addition, we must pay more attention to this Yan Shizi's every move in Beijing, and once we find out that he has the intention of escaping, I will immediately detain him." β
It turns out that Emperor Yun is still too worried, this Yan Shizi wanders around the capital all day long, and he doesn't have the slightest idea of escaping back to Yan Kingdom.
Although Chang Yuan is the proton of Yan Kingdom, the Dayun Imperial Court is still good to him. After he arrived in the Yun Kingdom, Emperor Yun specially ordered someone to build a mansion for him, and sent dozens of slaves to drive him.
Today, Yan Shizi was drinking and having fun in the house, and during the banquet, he hugged his left and right, enjoying the song and dance of Yunguo.
"Come, Shizi have another drink."
"Okay, okay, have a drink..."
Just as he was indulging in the hall, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
A young man in plain clothes walked in calmly, first calling out to Shizi, and then looking at the dancing girls in the hall.
Chang Yuan raised his head, barely opened his misty eyes, and saw his appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, and immediately threw the wine glass in his hand towards him, "What's the matter, still spitting, say!" β
"Shizi, please step back and go!"
"Huh?" The young man who had never disobeyed him on weekdays actually said such a thing, Chang Yuan staggered to his feet and burped, "You... How dare you..."
"Okay, y'all... Let's all go down! β
After everyone had withdrawn, the young man stepped forward, took out a letter from his bosom, and handed it to Chang Yuan.
"Prince, a letter from the prince."
Chang Yuan tore open the envelope and carefully read the contents of the letter, and most of the wine suddenly dispersed.
"Father... It's finally time to do it..."
"It's okay, let this Cloud Kingdom see the true power of my Great Yan..."
