Volume 8 Chapter 3 A Visitor from Far Away
Chapter 3: A Visitor from Far Away
Su Mi stretched out his hand to put away the clothes hanging on the railing, a gust of mountain wind blew, the placket of the clothes flew, and as soon as his hand was released, a thin shirt immediately floated out with the wind.
"Ahh Su Mi exclaimed, it was too late to reach out and catch it. At the same time, because of the loss of balance, it looks like I am about to fall off the bench under my feet.
Suddenly, a figure flashed in the air, floating on the branch like a light smoke, and with a light copy, he took the flying light shirt in his hand, and then lightning fell behind Su Mi, and Su Mi just fell into his arms.
After a whirlwind, Su Mi came back to his senses from his dizziness, and when he looked up, he was facing a handsome face that was half laughing and half worried.
Familiar and cordial, it is the warm string that I haven't seen for a long time.
In the impression, Wen Xian's image has always been calm and free, not stained with dust, even when he is tired after a long time and is seriously injured, there is a kind of refreshing and sharp that others can't reach, but at this time it looks like a servant's dust, and there is a slight wind and sand in the wardrobe, I don't know if it is caused by the long-term non-stop rush. Only the pair of cold autumn water-like eyes are still bright and brighter than the stars, with a faint concern, and the flow of divine light is instantly dazzling.
Su Mi's heart was hot, and the warmth and joy in her eyes were also reflected in those eyes, illuminating the handsome face.
"But I can be regarded as fast, otherwise a good white water white lotus will be stained with dust. He chuckled lightly, looking at her intently. The gaze seemed to be concerned for a long time, and it seemed as if nothing happened.
Hearing this familiar voice, Su Mi's heart was full of joy and embarrassment, "What clear water and white lotus land, his mouth is full of nonsense." ”
Wen Xian couldn't help but smile, but the expression on his face became serious. Said: "The cloth hairpin ring is also a peerless elegance, moon dyeing and dew condensation. What is holding in his arms, why is it not a white lotus? ”
"It's getting more and more nonsense. She glared at him, then realized that she was still lying in his arms, and struggled a few times to get out of the awkward position.
Wen Xian smiled aloud and helped her to her feet.
Su Mi looked back, and Ge Chengming was standing at the door with a smile.
Tired from running all the way. He has also lost a lot of weight, but he still can't hide his graceful and uninhibited bearing.
Su Mi only felt that her heart was hot, and when she saw them again, it was as if she had seen a long-lost relative, her mood was agitated and indescribable, and there was a faint moist feeling in the corners of her eyes.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, the second lady has suffered. Ge Chengming walked into the courtyard and looked around. Yu sighed guiltily.
"It's the gentleman who has worked hard. Su Mi raised her head and smiled warmly.
A few days ago, she had already received information and knew Ge Chengming's experience in the past six months. When he first got the news that Prince Cheng was seriously ill, Ge Chengming hurriedly set off south, but unexpectedly, he heard the news of Chen Qian's death before he reached Jianye. The blow of bad news, along with the fatigue of days of traveling, finally made him sick. In addition, after the chaos of war, there were countless refugees, although he was resourceful, after all, he was just a scholar, full of great talents but he was powerless, fortunately with Wen Xian by his side to take care of him, he was able to get out of the chaos in time and arrive in Nanchen safely.
In the past six months, he contacted the remnants of Chen Qian's defeat in Nanchen, and rearranged the Weiren forces that had returned to Nanchen with him back then, and secretly helped take care of Prince Cheng's descendants. Meet Emperor Chen...... Numerous trivia. Busy scoring points and not leaving.
It wasn't until recently that I sorted out the affairs in my hand and set off to return.
"It's Su Mi who worries Mr. Su Mi said: "It hurts Mr. to rush away like this." ”
Although the two are in good spirits. But there is wind, sand and dust between the corners of the clothes, and it is difficult to hide the tiredness between the sassy looks, and it is obvious that this road is very fast. Su Mi knew that the two people in front of him were people who paid great attention to appearance, especially Wen Xian, who was almost clean. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but recall the time when I was in the palace before, Su Mi felt a warmth in her heart, and her eyes unconsciously turned to look at Wen Xian.
"It's a trivial matter that we men have some dust on them, and if we hadn't come in time, wouldn't the beauties have been covered in dust. Feeling her gaze, Wen Xian smiled easily.
Ge Chengming also smiled: "It's good that everyone is safe and sound now, and I am also anxious to know how the second lady got out of the hands of the Liao people a few days ago?" ”
Since Su Mi left the capital, contact between several people was quickly restored, but the details were not clear after all, and Su Mi also had a lot of doubts in his heart waiting for Ge Chengming to solve.
A few people talked about what happened after the separation, and they couldn't finish a thousand words.
Su Mi first eagerly asked about Chen Yan's news, although he had already reported that Chen Yan was safe and sound, he still couldn't stop worrying.
Ge Chengming comforted her and said: "There is no danger in Yanchen, and now Qi Long's state can be regarded as being put under house arrest by Ni Yuan." Ni Yuan is quite respectful to him, but he still has a place to use him. The people around Qi Long didn't move, but they just kept sending people to watch closely. I think he has absolute confidence and can hold Qi Long firmly in his hands. ”
Now that Ni Yuan has captured Nan Chen's capital, Qi Long's imperial chariot has naturally moved into Nan Chen's palace. Qi Long used to dream that he could personally reign in the imperial capital of Nanchen as an emperor and as a conqueror, but now, it can be regarded as a wish, but this wish is fulfilled......
Su Mi's heart couldn't help but feel a burst of sourness, she knew Qi Longdi's temperament best, but her mentality was extremely arrogant, and she was betrayed by her own trusted and important henchmen, and became a puppet at the mercy of others. At the same time, his own capital has fallen into the hands of the Liao people, and the Zongmiao Sheji, which has been handed down by the ancestors for a hundred years, has been swept away by the Liao. The original ambitious, confident and arrogant journey has become a big joke, and all the efforts from beginning to end are to make wedding gifts for others, what will he think in his heart? How hard would all this be for him?
There was a half-silence. Su Mi shook her head, now that she is unable to protect herself, she really has no chance to pity others. Even if she is infinitely sad, she can't resist the compulsion of the situation, she doesn't ask for much, as long as the dust is safe and sound.
Now it is reported that Ni Yuan is in Nanchen Capital to appease the people and recuperate. The new emperor of Southern Chen was in the southern Zhan Ye area, and ambitiously prepared to recover the capital. Yi between Mr. How long will the war continue in the South? Su Mi asked the most critical question at the moment.
"I'm afraid it won't take more than half a year. Ge Chengming said solemnly.
"Half a year?!" Su Mi's eyes widened a little unexpectedly, looking at Ge Chengming, she really couldn't believe this answer in her heart, Ni Yuan's battle to capture the capital of Nanchen, in Su Mi's evaluation, was a little too anxious, eager to enter the capital. On the contrary, there was a gap in the original complete layout, which allowed Nan Chen's prince to escape, and quickly regrouped the forces of resistance.
A few days ago, she also received information that Emperor Nan Chen Xindi had urged his soldiers and horses to go north, preparing to challenge Ni Yuan and recover the capital. There is a lag in the delivery of information, and according to the time, this battle should have begun. According to Su Mi's estimate, I am afraid that this battle will drag on for several years.
"In my opinion, I'm afraid I won't even need it for half a year. Ge Chengming's tone was also slightly bitter: "Ni Yuan's move can be described as confident enough. It's atmospheric enough. ”
Su Mi heard Ge Chengming's emotion, and without waiting for him to explain, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.
Could it be ......
"Could it be that Ni Yuan deliberately let Nan Chen's crown prince escape?" Su Mi asked incredulously.
Ni Yuan let the Liao people enter the customs, which can be said to lead the wolf into the house, and the situation in the north has become more complicated and unpredictable. Even if he has the killer weapon in his hand to restrain the Liao, it is difficult to guarantee that the Liaons will not break the cauldron and take risks, and the soldiers led by Ni Yuan to conquer Nanchen are all Qi people, although there are not many people in the capital, but the news that the capital is occupied by the Liao people will inevitably cause them to panic, and they will inevitably worry about whether their hometown will be sacked by the Liao, if it is not for Ni Yuan's rigorous and far-reaching prestige, it has also been a great victory since the start of the war, and the Liao people have no intention of going south. The battalion has long been unstable.
So Ni Yuan wanted to pacify Nan Chen. Be quick, every day of delay. The situation in the north is one point sinister, the Liao people's position is one point stable, and his own military spirit is one point impetuous.
Nanchen is crisscrossed by separatist forces all over the country, although each of them cannot compete with Ni Yuan's strength, but if he is allowed to clean up from house to house, it will not be effective for three years and five years.
By then, the situation in the world has long since begun to know how it will change.
He didn't dare to delay at all, and he couldn't afford to delay.
And the prince who let go of Nan Chen, everything will be different. The identity of the crown prince is like a magnet, which will automatically attract the forces that resolutely resist Ni Yuandi to the side of this magnet. The dangerous enemies are all in one place, and it is naturally much easier to pack them up.
However, this strategy is also a risky move, although Nan Chen's various forces are not Ni Yuan's opponents when they are scattered, but the forces they have gathered should not be underestimated. There are too many ants, and they can still bite and kill elephants, not to mention that now Ni Yuan is fighting against the water in the situation of the enemy country.
Nan Chen can be defeated, but he can't be defeated, Nan Chen is defeated, and he can retreat south, recuperate, and prepare to make a comeback. And once he fails, the people of Nanchen will inevitably beat the water dogs and attack him in groups, and the Liao people behind him may not let go of the opportunity.
"Ni Yuan will definitely be able to guarantee his victory?" Su Mi looked up at Ge Chengming and asked. Since Ge Chengming resolutely believes that Ni Yuan can clean up Emperor Chen Xindi in the south within half a year, there must be other reasons.
Ge Chengming's eyes were desolate and tired, he sighed lightly and said, "Before coming here, I once went to meet the new emperor of Nanchen Land. ”
Su Mi's eyes moved, waiting for his detailed explanation.
"Hmph," without waiting for Ge Chengming to speak, Wen Xian next to him snorted coldly unintentionally, and said disdainfully: "It's just a wine-colored person." ”
Su Mi's heart sank.
"I suggested to Emperor Chen that he send people to the north, and on the condition of supplying the Liao people with grain and grass, discuss an alliance with the Liao people to deal with Ni Yuan together. Ge Chengming continued.
Su Mi was shocked when he heard this, if the remnants of Nan Chen's forces formed an alliance with the Liao, Ni Yuan's danger and pressure would immediately double, and the consequences would be unimaginable...... Thinking of this vaguely, Su Mi only felt bitter and contradictory in her heart, and it was difficult to explain, she reluctantly asked, "What is the result?" ”
"The result...... As a result, he was reprimanded by the new emperor," Ge Chengming shook his head with a wry smile, "For the scholars and courtiers of Nan Chen, the barbarians in the north are simply not worth mentioning, let alone an alliance with them, even if it is to put their names together with their own, it is an insult. ”
Su Mi was silent, Nan Chen has lived in the prosperous resort south of the Yangtze River for a long time, with abundant products and a long national lineage, compared with the difficulties of the northern division and chaos and the wreaking havoc of the Hu people, it is simply a world of difference. And it has not been oppressed by the Hu people for almost a hundred years.
After a long period of peace, it is inevitable to feel contempt for the north, especially the Hu regime, and denounce it as a barbarian chieftain and a wilderness.
Even if he is facing the crisis of the country's ruin, he still can't let go of his status as a celebrity and sit on an equal footing with the people he has despised for a long time. Perhaps, it was because they thought that Nan Chen had not reached such a critical point of survival. Maybe they still think that as long as they gather the strength of the whole country, it will be easy to eliminate Ni Yuan's soldiers and horses. I remembered that the information I received a few days ago also mentioned that when the new emperor of Nan Chen had just succeeded to the throne, he began to get busy, not only busy recruiting soldiers, but also making a decree to draft draft girls for himself and enrich the harem.
Born in sorrow, died in peace, and lived a peaceful life for too long......
"A good opportunity was lost. Su Mi sighed lightly, but deep down, there was a faint sense of relaxation, in fact, she didn't want to see Nan Chen and the Liao people form an alliance, once the two armies formed an alliance, the Liao people would inevitably go south, and then the lives would be ruined, and the people would not be able to make a living, but I was afraid that it would repeat the troubled times of the Mourning Emperor period two hundred years ago.
“…… Although there are many soldiers and horses gathered now, but the command is difficult to unify, the new emperor is completely a scholar and literati, with exquisite poetry and good talk, but he knows nothing about military affairs, and there is no general who can suppress everyone, and the worst thing is that the new emperor in order to increase the number of troops, sent people to call the soldiers and horses of various tribes in the south to participate in the war. ”
"Yiren?" Su Mi was puzzled, she knew that in the deep mountains and old forests in the southernmost part of Nan Chen, there were a large number of cottage peoples, all of whom were subordinate to the rule of Nan Chen, "I heard that these Yi tribes are all brave and not afraid of death, which is comparable to the iron cavalry of the Liao army." ”
"Yes, although these Yi people have lived under the rule of Nanchen for a long time, but the Nanchen court has been deeply contemptuous of them, and has always oppressed and exploited them very heavily, and there are many contradictions between Han and Yi. Ge Chengming worriedly continued to count the many shortcomings in the Nanchen army, "Moreover, the grain treasury in the capital has fallen into the hands of Ni Yuan, and the salaries and grass in the Nanchen army are all insufficient. The court of the new emperor is temporarily in Zhanye, this place is not a big city, once the war with Ni Yuan drags on, the benefits promised by the court to the Yi people cannot be fulfilled, and there will be a big chaos in the army at that time, and Ni Yuan is entrenched in the capital at this time, rich in money and food, and can send people to contact the Yi people at the same time......"
The more Su Mi listened, the more frightened he became, if this continued, wouldn't Nan Chen be doomed to ruin. Ni Yuan really has absolute confidence and dependence, so he will let go of his hands and feet to gamble on this game.
As the three of them were talking, the sound of pushing the door sounded outside, and it was Qi Hao who came back.
