Han Hao's idea is not bad at all, what he can think of, then Zhao Yuqi is not a fool, he can naturally think of it.

Zhao Yuqi also understood the importance of forming alliances with neighboring countries, so he began to move in the past few days, hoping to win the support of several surrounding countries except Houjin.

He first sent letters to the kings of those countries, but the results were not satisfactory. The Western Regions politely rejected him on the grounds that the King of the Western Regions was not in the royal city, but Nan Rong did not reply at all.

This really made Zhao Yuqi half angry, these small surrounding countries simply didn't take him Zhao Yuqi seriously. If it weren't for the fact that this is a special period, he wouldn't have pulled down his face and begged them, a group of shameless goods. Zhao Yuqi scolded in his heart.

But scolding and scolding, you still have to do the right thing, after all, this matter is related to your own life and death, and you can't be sloppy at all.

Zhao Yuqi immediately sent his most confidant envoys to the Western Regions, Beiyan and Nanrong respectively, and brought the gifts he had prepared as a meeting gift, fully expressing his sincerity.

He didn't believe that these wooden lumps could not be moved in the face of such a large piece of fat to Da Chu's mouth, if that was the case, they would be really stupid.

Zhao Yuqi knew that he couldn't send troops now, and what he had to do at this stage was to wait and see, if any of these three countries were willing to form an alliance with him, then it would not be too late to send troops at that time.

Otherwise, if he really fell into the situation of fighting alone, he knew very well that after all, the Great Chu Emperor had reigned for many years, and his foundation was unfathomable, and he was really not comparable to a little prince, and he would be dead at that time.

Fortunately, there was no end to the road, and things soon took a turn for the better. The envoys he sent out also returned half a month later, and brought him the good news he had been waiting for for a long time, that is, Nanrong and Beiyan were willing to form an alliance with him.

The kings of these two countries are also cunning and cunning, they have been forcibly suppressed by Da Chu for so many years, and they are naturally dissatisfied in their hearts, and they have been looking for an opportunity to kill Da Chu, isn't this just a very rare and good opportunity right now?

If they really bring down Da Chu with Zhao Yuqi this time, then according to the conditions that Zhao Yuqi gave them, Da Chu will be divided by them, and at that time, how can a divided country be strong, and this strong enemy will no longer exist.

So after careful consideration, they decided to take this risk with Zhao Yuqi together, after all, if they succeeded, the temptation was too great.

For Zhao Yuqi, the only fly in the ointment was that the Western Regions did not agree to join them, but still politely rejected them and sent back the envoy sent by Zhao Yuqi.

Zhao Yuqi only thought that the Western Regions wanted to remain neutral, so he didn't take it to heart, after all, with the support of the two countries of Beiyan and Nanrong, his certainty of success had been greatly increased.

Zhao Yuqi is also a man who does what he says, he never procrastinates, and now that he is fully prepared, he naturally does not need to continue to forbear, so two days after the covenant was reached, he sent troops to declare war on Dachu, and pointed the spearhead at the capital of Dachu.

The direction of his march was east to west, but the terrain around the east gate of the capital was steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, which was really not a good choice for this team that was not very numerous, so Zhao Yuqi borrowed the road from the north and killed directly at the west gate of the capital.

And Xie Wanqing and Yu Sufu and the others returned to Beijing in the direction of going from Houjin in the west to the capital in the east, and the destination was the west gate of the capital, so that Zhao Yuqi's team was directly between them and the capital.

At this time, Yu Sufu and Xie Wanqing didn't know about this situation, but they just regarded the depressed scene around them as the tension before the war, and they didn't pay much attention to it, and continued to walk towards the east.

At this time, more than ten days had passed since they left the military camp on the border, and after counting the days when there were no horses delayed on the road, they would be able to reach the capital in two or three days.

As soon as Xie Wanqing thought of her own big and soft couch in the General's Mansion, a burst of joy surged in her heart.

God knows what kind of hell she's slept in these months, she almost slept so much that her waist was about to break, let her roll over on her big bed, she really missed the big and soft bed so much.

Seeing that victory was in sight, Xie Wanqing's interest in the past few days has also doubled, and she is not tired when she rushes to the road, and her efficiency is several times higher than that of the previous few days.

It's just a pity that what they don't know is that the road between them and the capital has been completely locked by Zhao Yuqi's men and horses, not to mention the four of them, even if it is four birds, it is difficult to fly over.

Finally, Xie Wanqing and Yu Sufu arrived at the last city before arriving in Beijing, and planned to rest here for one night, and after that, they could reach their destination in two days at most.

It's just that as soon as they entered the city, they found that the atmosphere in this city was very strange.

It was midday when they arrived, which was supposed to be the busiest time of the day in the city. But as far as they could see, there were only a few pedestrians on the streets in the warm sunshine, and they all looked hurried.

"What's wrong with this city?" Xie Wanqing couldn't help but wonder: "Why do you look so lifeless?" ”

"It's weird." Yu Sufu turned over and dismounted, grabbed the reins of the horse and walked forward slowly, ready to help Xie Wanqing off the horse, hearing her words, he nodded in agreement.

"Shall we stay here then?" Xie Wanqing somehow had a faint foreboding in her heart, she always felt that something would happen if she stayed in this city.

Yu Sufu glanced at her, his eyes stayed on her slightly bulging lower abdomen for a moment, and then said: "It's better to rest here, otherwise there will be no place to stay in the future, I'm afraid your body won't be able to hold on." ”

"Besides, we don't have much food and water, and we need to resupply in this city before we can get back on the road." He said slowly.

Seeing this, Xie Wanqing had no choice but to nod. Yu Sufu is right, except for this city, there will be no more towns ahead, and you will have to eat and sleep in the open at that time.

Since the last time she encountered a tiger in the forest near the border, Xie Wanqing has been full of fear about sleeping in the suburbs.

Although many inns on the street were hung with flags, their doors were closed, and there was a suffocating sense of depression in the whole city, but she didn't know where this feeling came from, Xie Wanqing couldn't help but feel a little worried.

They had traveled almost the whole city until they finally found an inn with an open door, and the owner was blocking the door, which seemed to be closing.

"Hey, boss, please slow down." Seeing this, Xie Wanqing hurriedly stopped the movement of the boss's hand, and then said with a smile on her face: "Please also ask the boss to make it convenient, we are here to stay in the hotel." ”

The boss looked them up and down, probably thinking that they didn't look like bad people, so after hesitation, he let them into the store, and then blocked the door tightly and closed the door.

"Boss, why are all the shops in this city closed and no longer doing business?" Xie Wanqing entered the lobby of this inn, found a random table and sat down, and asked very strangely.

Although it was noon at this time, the boss used two layers of wooden planks to seal the entire inn tightly, and no light could penetrate at all, and the light in the lobby was very dim, and it was also illuminated by the faint light of the candle flame.

The boss sighed heavily and said, "A few guest officers are from out of town." I look at you and I assume that you don't know much about the current situation. ”

"You don't know, our place is not very peaceful now, you shouldn't come here now, it's easy to get in, but if you want to get out, it's hard."
