Chapter 564: The Great King is Coming
Bofu with the opening of the party the next day from the Qin capital galloped towards the direction of the Qinling Mountains, they want to arrive at the border of Qin and the dog Rong as quickly as possible, they want to give this army of the dog Rong as if into no man's land to deal a heavy blow, and then evacuate as soon as possible, from the rear detour, again kill the dog Rong a surprise. This battle made the dog Rong unexpected, the night attack on the dog Rong's camp, and then evacuate as quickly as possible, Bofu to win away do not care about any strategic gains and losses, the purpose is to disturb the dog Rong's soldiers, there is no strategic burden, the soldiers advance and retreat freely, without any ties, several quick battles in the past few days called the dog Rong soldiers in the confrontation with the weak border Qin soldiers to establish a self-confidence quickly collapsed, collapsed.
Then Ying Kai and Bofu let the other party know that it was not the main team of the Qin State that invaded and destroyed them a little bit, but a temporary patchwork of death squads, and the people who led the troops were still the under-aged and weak champion Ying Kai and the seven-year-old Bofu, which was called the soldier of the dog Rong was even more shocked, and the speed of the collapse of confidence was far greater than the speed at which the confidence was established that day, which made the form of the border of the Qin State quickly reversed.
Bai Li Cheng, who was far away in the Qin capital, naturally also received the good news from the border area, and felt very incredible about the frequent successes of Bofu and Win, which made Baili Cheng worry about this matter, and the baton of the opening of the win was handed over to Bai Licheng, whether he could win the next battle was a crucial thing, Bai Licheng felt the great pressure on his body, and the whole person was very difficult to get up straight, and then slowly paced towards the chamber of the Qin Mansion. I couldn't be happy at all.
Rong Qian stood beside Bao Xi, and saw the general coming from a distance, so she squatted down and whispered in Bao Xi's ear, "After Bao, General Baili is here!" ”
Bao Xi held the strings under his hand, then raised his head and looked at Baili Cheng with an indifferent smile on his face, "Tomorrow, the army will set off to rush to the junction of the dog Rong and the Qin State, right?" ”
"Yes!" Bai Licheng nodded, didn't say much, didn't even leave a tail note, this voice was crisp and neat, making people feel that he didn't seem to have any intention of having any conversation with Bao Xi, if this is really the case, I'm afraid that this Baili general will not come to Bao Xi at this time to take a trip here, he and Bao Xi actually don't have any friendship, but the friendship between Bao Xi and Qin Shizi's father, and her indifferent personality makes Bai Li Cheng feel a little relieved about this woman inexplicably.
Bao Xi raised her head and waved her hand to Rong Qian, Rong Qian wanted to say something, Bao Xi shook her head, and Rong Qian had to retreat from the courtyard with a "hum" from the department. Bao Xi pointed to the position opposite him, "Please be seated." ”
"Thank you for the compliment!" Bai Licheng said, and sat down opposite Bao Xi.
Bao Xi looked at Baili Cheng and found that he didn't want to move his mouth, so he didn't say anything more, and plucked the strings in his hand, she actually didn't have to ask this Baili general what he was doing here, tomorrow is about to set off, what can Bai Licheng's heart pretend to be except for war? Sending a person who is ready to rush to the battlefield to leave, it is not the first time that Bao Xi has come, when Ji Gongyan was still young, she still can't forget the panic and uneasiness, and now Ji Gongyan rarely shows such trepidation on his face compared to that day, and it has become more unfathomable than back then, making it impossible to guess what kind of situation is being planned in the heart of this man?
The melody of the music fluttered and lingered around Bai Licheng, Bai Licheng closed his eyes slightly and indulged in this tune, which seemed to really be able to calm his completely uneasy heart, in fact, Bai Licheng didn't know what the reason for his panic was, and after a long time, he gently knocked on the table with his fingers, "You and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to Qin State to join Uncle Qin, but for this battle?" ”
Bao Xi raised her head and looked at Bai Licheng, full of puzzlement.
"Let the Qin soldiers attack the dog Rong, and let His Royal Highness the prince make a great contribution, no matter what, the prince and the king are father and son, and the prince is the position of the prince, and it is really unbelievable to rashly give up everything in the court to join my Qin country. This battle is a great contribution made by the crown prince, which is equivalent to giving the king a step, so that the king can justifiably forgive the prince's past crimes. Empress Bao is really a smart person, but the prince lost this battle, and the prince's intentions must be accepted by the king, and he will come to Qin State in the near future to take you and His Royal Highness the prince back to the palace, right? Bai Licheng's words were eloquent, but he didn't give Bao Xi a chance to speak, so he continued, "You use my Qin State as a venue for you to play with power, have you ever thought about the kindness of the prince to you?" ”
Bao Xi pursed her lips and smiled, "Why does General Baili have such an idea?" She asked so on her lips, but she knew very well in her heart that Baili Cheng would have such an idea entirely because Ying Kai had made an excuse for his own troops, and Ying Kai pushed the whole thing on their mother and son, and Bao Xi pretended not to know, "If I do this, won't I lift a stone and shoot myself in the foot?" ”
"That's where your cleverness comes in, it looks like it's going to be redundant, but it's actually doing you a lot of good." Baili Cheng said firmly.
"Has General Baili taken someone else's child?" Bao Xi asked.
"Are the heirs of the Bao family counted?" Baili Cheng asked sharply, which made Bao Xi stunned, and then smiled slightly, "General Baili is very kind to my Bao family, and I remember this in my heart, and I dare not forget it." But the battle between the Qin State and the Dog Rong was obviously a mistake in General Baili's own judgment, but he wanted to ask our mother and son to bear the consequences......" She paused as she spoke, "If General Baili feels better, I will admit it!" It's me who is scheming, asking my son to go to the battlefield to fight with the dogs, and make contributions to the stability of the prince's position in the future, so that the general Baili will not have to be under pressure, and go to the battlefield to fight against the dogs, just like what you did in the past! ”
What Bao Xi said made Bai Licheng quite dissatisfied in his heart, "Isn't that the case?" ”
"If the bofu is from me, it is my biological son, maybe this is the case, but unfortunately the bofu is not ......" Bao Xi said and shook his head, "Bofu is from Mrs. Zheng, succeeded me, be my heir, now I am in the back position, he is the East Palace, the two of us can be said to be the mother by the son, the son by the mother, but this trembling for the two of us, only the two of us can understand." Other people's children are the most difficult to bring, you are harsh, and people say that you are vicious; If you indulge in a little bit, people will say that you are negligent...... If I win this battle, others will say that I am scheming, and I will not hesitate to fight for the prince's life in order to return to the palace and stabilize my posteriority; If I lose, I will not only have to endure these arguments, but I will also have to face the king's skepticism, and I will have to think about how to explain the whole thing all the time. Since this matter is so difficult to choose, why should I come to Qin? I stayed in the palace that day, and sooner or later the grievances on my body will be washed away, so why suffer this pain? ”
Baili Cheng was speechless, originally Baili Cheng was not an eloquent, just a general who was proficient in marching and fighting, and he often didn't remember what his position was when facing other people's words? Bao Xi looked at Bai Licheng, who had no way to pick up, and continued, "Regardless of whether this battle is won or lost, the king will only have one opinion on him, that is, quick success!" The king may say that I, a mother, don't know how to discipline my own children, and maybe there will be some other words, in short, it will not be as beautiful as General Baili imagined, saying that the uncle is meritorious! It's all about winning the credit. ”
"Why do you have to go to war?" Bai Licheng asked.
"You should ask Bofu about this, you shouldn't ask me," Bao Xi shook his head slightly, "Bofu said that he wanted to fight this battle, so I let him go, the children will choose their own path, as long as it is not a major issue, we don't have to interfere!" ”
Bao Xi's words made Bai Licheng feel very ashamed, as if Bao Xi was just a child to him a few days ago, and in a blink of an eye, Bao Xi had changed from an immature girl to an intellectual mother, and he, the general, was like an unreasonable child.
"You're not worried about him?" Bai Licheng asked.
"Worried!" Bao Xi nodded, "But I think Bofu this kid is also worried about winning, this battle can only be won, not defeated, otherwise the old accounts of the Qin State that offended the Great Zhou before are only afraid that there is no way to write them off, if the king investigates it, whether it is General Baili or Winkai, it is difficult to excuse himself." Even if it is the great king Xingshi and the army of Qindu, this is also justified and smooth, and the world cannot criticize it, does General Baili really hope that the situation will develop to this point? You just think that the king is the real murderer of the world, I have been blinded by this human-faced and beast-hearted monarch when I entered the palace for many years, but if you look at today, is it possible to say that the king is not a good monarch, and Yijiu is a good ally? He may break the covenant of the day at any time for any reason and abandon your Qin State, if General Baili doesn't believe it, I can also prove it to you, but at that time, you may lose the entire Qin State, does General Baili want to see it? ”
Bai Licheng looked at Bao Xi for a long time, her eyes were clear and firm, and she was silent for a long time.
Bao Xi smiled slightly, "The general I know Baili hates the dog Rong to the core, because the prince died in the confrontation with them, and the people of the border pass of the Qin State were ravaged by them, and they are eyeing my Great Zhou. Now just because he listened to the two words of the envoy of Shenhou, who had been an enemy of the Qin State back then, did he erase his true heart for many years? Bao Xi's words not only made Bai Licheng's heart shake, but also made this general, who was not too treacherous, suddenly suspicious of Ying Kai, and he found that it was not only Shen Hou who was provoking his relationship with Da Zhou, but also this Qin Bo Ying Kai.
On the second day, the Qin army assembled outside the capital of Hao, and then set out for the territory of the dog Rong.
A few days later, the advance army of Win Kai Tong Bofu was replaced, and Win Kai returned to the court, and under the suggestion of Bofu, he couldn't wait to intervene in the government, and changed all the safe resolutions of Baili Cheng that day, regardless of the opposition of the ministers of the court, insisted on re-establishing the basic principles of Qin's diplomacy.
After winning the return, the news came back one after another from the pickaxe capital, and Bao Xi knew that Ji Gongyan's external caliber was that he had gone on vacation and escaped the world, and he would return to the palace in the near future. This matter made Bao Xi smile, this is the pressure left by Ji Gongyan, hoping to use this pressure to force Bao Xi and Bofu to have enough fun in the day, and his heart is scattered, and he can go back to face the burden and responsibility on his body, he knows her too well, and knows that as long as he says what he needs, she will definitely stand by his side and stand side by side with him.
Then the news came that Ji Gongyan thoroughly investigated Sima Yongzhi's case and Sima Wenshuo's case, and sure enough, as Bao Xi expected, the investigation of Sima Yongzhi's case touched the entire interest group of Yu Shi's father, and even people like the priest and the doctor Yin Qiu were all pulled into the water, it can be said that the current Yu Shifu is a bare-bones commander in the court, and the whole thing is like going back to the beginning, Yu Shifu has to be attached to Ji Gongshu alone, he is just a sword in the hands of this king, Because he killed too many people, he thought he had his own will.
The dust of this matter has settled so that Bofu also feels convinced of his mother's judgment, so that the alliance between Shen and Chu is very suspicious, as long as this matter waits a little longer, it will soon be able to peek into the cat, and then only the Shenhou faction will be caught off guard, at that time, maybe Ji Gongyan's spearhead will be aimed at the Shenhou faction in the court, this is a group of people who he has long wanted to move but has not moved!
Then the news came that Sima Wenshuo overturned the case, and completely cleared Sima Wenshuo's charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and then the news of the recall of Zheng Boyou, this incident made Bofu very surprised, looking at his mother, "Father really recalled Zheng Bo?" ”
Bao Xi just smiled and didn't answer.
Then the news of Xiuxiu's death came, this incident made Bao Xi and Bofu were stunned, the two looked at each other, speechless for a long time, they didn't know what to say for a while, the whole room was suppressed by a strange silence, people can feel a huge, invisible pressure in it, and the imagination is different, Bofu thought that he would be happy for Xiuxiu's death, even if it can't be so, at least it should be like treating Mrs. Chu without feeling, but it's not, What he felt was a hysterical pain, so painful that he was speechless, Xiuxiu accompanied him throughout his childhood, this woman's smile, voice and smile kept emerging in his mind, constantly replaying those pictures of the past.
......On this day, Qin Bo Yingkai retreated from the top, I don't know what news he brought, he shouted loudly before he entered this room, and the panting breath in his mouth made people see that this Qin Bo was in a hurry, and he just walked to the door, and Yingkai couldn't wait to say, "The king is here!" ”
