Chapter 346: News
Lin You and the four princes supported each other and ran eastward, when they heard the movement, Lin You subconsciously shoved the four princes into a bush next to him, and carefully crawled over to investigate, and when he saw General Lu Xiao led by him, he breathed a sigh of relief. Follow? Dream?. lā
The two sides met victoriously, and the fourth prince said to General Lu Xiao with a blue face: "You can quickly take some people to rescue Lu Shilang and Shang Mingjie, and transfer some people to escort me back to the camp." ”
"From here?"
The fourth prince frowned and thought for a moment and said, "Yes, I escaped from here, they will always know this way, and now there is no need to be taboo." ”
General Lu Xiao turned around and divided two teams into the mountain, he didn't dare to leave the side of the fourth prince, and planned to escort him back in person.
Lin You said: "Your Highness, let General Lu Xiao escort you back, and the minister will take a look." ”
"It's okay," the fourth prince thought for a while and said, "You are more familiar with there, and Gu will contact Prince Chu soon and ask him for assistance." ”
As for whether this is the hand of Chu State, there is no need to worry about it now, it is important to stabilize the situation.
The two sides separated, and Lin You led people to the lawn in a hurry.
Imperial Physician Wang cut Shang Mingjie's clothes in a mess, wrapped his whole body, and after the basic hemostasis, he also used sheep intestines to suture those big wounds simply, so that the wounds healed faster and avoided secondary bleeding.
In fact, he is not very good at this kind of surgery, and he should have asked Imperial Doctor Meng to come, but unfortunately he did not follow the prince to Jiangling.
Imperial Physician Wang checked Shang Mingjie's pulse, checked his vital signs, and then went out to say to the prince: "As long as there is no fever and the wound does not deteriorate, even if you survive." ”
"When can I be sure that the wound will not worsen?"
Imperial Physician Wang was entangled: "The wound is not completely healed, and the former ministers cannot guarantee it. ”
In fact, trauma is like this, there are very few deaths due to injuries, and most of them cannot be saved due to excessive blood loss and worsening of wound inflammation.
Now that the "Four Princes" have survived the first hurdle and the bleeding has stopped, it's time to see the second hurdle.
Prince Chu's face was pale, the fourth prince had such a big thing happen to him, but he was afraid that Liang Guo would not give up.
When his thoughts were rolling, he quietly stood behind and listened to all the Wang Yan open the curtain and come out, and saluted the prince of Chu: "I made the prince of Chu worried, I found out that the person inside is not the fourth prince of our big beam, but Lord Xiaoshang next to the fourth prince, the fourth prince still doesn't know where he is, and I ask His Royal Highness the prince to continue to send people to look for it." ”
His Royal Highness the Prince: ......
Prince Chu reacted for a while before he understood the meaning of his words, and hurriedly pushed him into the camp tent, he stared carefully at the person lying on the wooden plank, his face had not been washed, and his face was still mixed with blood and mud, but he didn't have to look close to see that he was not the fourth prince.
Prince Chu covered his chest, and he didn't know whether to be happy or sorry, in short, his mood was very complicated.
Wang Yan relieved him with a very good look, after all, he was also taken aback before, he could understand it.
He understands a fart!
Prince Chu jumped up, the assassin was still in the mountains, what if they met again?
He hurriedly called someone to continue looking for it.
As a result, when he ran out, he ran into Lin You, who came with the troops, and when they met, they knew that the four princes had run back to Liang.
Prince Chu was really blocked at this time, but his face was full of joy, "If you want to go to the fourth prince in person, I will definitely investigate this matter to the end, and no one will be allowed to destroy the friendship that Chu and Liang have easily established." ”
Lin Youyi nodded rhetorically and said, "Prince Chu is right, starting from how these assassins mixed up the mountain, you can always find some clues." ”
Wang Yan immediately said: "Yes, this mountain was surrounded by the soldiers of the Chu State a few days ago, although there is no need to invite and introduce people to the mountain, but the literati who come are familiar with each other, so many assassins, if there is no one to guide them, how did they come up and mix in front of the four princes?" ”
Lu Shilang also walked over with his waist covered and said in solidarity: "And when the fourth prince was assassinated, the Chu army, as the host, watched it, if it wasn't for His Royal Highness to come in person, I'm afraid that the Chu army would not be willing to come to the rescue, right?" ”
Prince Chu glared fiercely at the generals beside him, all of whom were his good subordinates.
The generals bowed their heads, it would be good if they didn't fall into the ground, but if their generals were here, they were afraid that they would help the assassins.
In any case, this matter is now the fault of the Chu State, and the Prince of Chu and the three of them are maneuvering, in short, it is better for the two countries not to fight now, let alone fight for such reasons.
The state of Chu wants to compete for the world, and it doesn't care too much about reputation, so why not keep it when it may be kept?
At this time, the prince of Chu decided not to know that Chen Xiang in Beicheng was doing something that would destroy the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Zhao Jie took the people to the north quickly, originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to enter Tubo, and then go from Tubo to Liao, but who knew that they had only run for a long time, Deputy Li chased them, the other party was demagogic, and fought with him again, more than 600 people who followed him, and finally followed him to break out of only more than 40 horsemen, most of them disarmed and surrendered.
If they want to run to Liao again, they will be sent to death, but they are afraid that they will be taken down by the garrisons along the road before they can leave the Liang.
As a last resort, Zhao Jie could only turn to the North City Gate and enter Chu directly from there.
As for whether Chen Xiang accepted him or not, he was not worried at all, even if Prince Chu was there, he was afraid that he would not be able to refuse the temptation he brought.
Zhao Jie thought well, Chen Xiang said that Zhao Jie wanted to take refuge in the Chu State, and after seeing the group of chasing soldiers behind him, he immediately decided to let people enter the city, and then closed the north gate.
As for worrying that Zhao Jie would deceive him?
Hmph, who doesn't know who, to a certain extent, they are actually the same people, and they will never put themselves in such a dangerous situation.
Vice General Li reined in his horse outside the city gate, gritted his teeth and glanced at the city gate, and said, "Go and call the door, let the Chu army be sure to hand over the rebel generals of the Liang State." ”
The soldier asked, "What if they don't pay it?" ”
"Idiot, I didn't expect them to fuck, it's just to show our attitude." He also ordered his henchmen to hurry back to the camp to have a look.
The fourth prince doesn't know what's going on, and this matter is too important, he can't be the master alone.
When the fourth prince returned to the camp and heard that Zhao Jie had betrayed, he was so angry that he almost fainted, "Haven't you always been careful in your actions, how could he defect?" ”
"Back to His Royal Highness, we found a corpse on the side of the general's tent, the other party seems to be the Zhao family's domestic slave, I don't know what happened to the court, Zhao Jie may have heard the wind before running away."
It was not until Wang Yan and Lin You came back in the evening that they carried the seriously injured Shang Mingjie and the chief of the guards, and as soon as several parties came together, they knew that there were so many things happening today.
Then everyone silently looked at Shang Mingjie, who was still unconscious in the camp, and even the chief of the guard, who was also seriously injured, couldn't help but show sympathy.
Listening to the meaning of Wang Tingshi, it was Xiao Shang's father who denounced Zhao Jie, and it seems that the Shang family was also involved, he was both an indictment and a surrender.
Doesn't that mean...... The Shang family may have also committed the crime of collaborating with the enemy?
I saved the four princes, I thought I had made a great contribution, but now I don't know if I can save my life.
The fourth prince also felt that his mood was a little complicated, and his sense of Shang Mingjie was still very good, so he asked Wang Tingshi, "Do you know what Lord Shang has done?" ”
"It was not written in detail in the official document, but the imperial court did not have an official document to imprison Lord Xiaoshang, so I think it should not be a crime of collaborating with the enemy," Wang Yan thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's smuggling?" ”
He has been a parent official at the border for so many years, and ahem, he has also done some small business, so he knows some of the secret secrets of these generals.
Shang Ping, a member of the Ministry of Labor, naturally has no way to do business with people outside, most of them are partners with Zhao Jie, so this is smuggling, and then he found out about collaborating with the enemy, and he felt that the sin was too great, so he turned himself in?
If this is the case, the impact on Shang Mingjie is not very great, smuggling, which military general and family in the DPRK and China can be clean, at most his father will be demoted or dismissed.
At this time, everyone didn't know that Shang Ping had touched the deadly iron and grain for the last time, and after hearing this, Qi Qi breathed a sigh of relief, okay, fortunately, Shang Mingjie was not unlucky to a certain point.
Lin You has the best relationship with him, so he took the initiative to stay and take care of him, and now the imperial doctor has been replaced by their main beam, and his medical skills are not much worse, plus the four princes are willing to take medicine, Shang Mingjie has not had a fever.
Lin You only hoped that he could survive the most difficult days, as long as the fourth prince thought that if Shang Mingjie hadn't replaced him, maybe he would be the one lying there, so he couldn't help but feel a spirit, and said to the people below: "Let everyone be tight-mouthed, Lord Xiao Shang is good, no one is allowed to tell him this." ”
The people below responded in unison.
Wang Yan sighed and said: "Now Zhao Jie's treason is a certainty, but people have gone to Chu State, but I am afraid that Chu State will not return it." ”
The fourth prince also felt a headache, rubbed his forehead and said, "Don't go to Chu State first, I will go to see Prince Chu tomorrow, and I will negotiate with him and ask him to hand over Zhao Jie." ”
"It's difficult," Lu Shilang shook his head and sighed: "Zhao Jie has too many things in his hands, how can the Chu State be willing to do it?" ”
Chu State is unwilling, they can't really send troops to attack, right?
It's just a matter of ripping off.
Lu Shilang and Wang Yan glanced at each other and sighed.
The fourth prince frowned and asked, "What about Zhao Jie's family?" ”
"His eldest son and nephew are both in Lingzhou, don't worry about this, Lu Duhu will detain people when he receives the news," Wang Yan said: "They are soldiers in the army, and they can't leave the city without permission, but the Zhao family on the Jiangdu side doesn't know what the situation is." ”
At this time, the Zhao clan in Jiangdu was in chaos, and as soon as he rode a fast horse into the city in the morning, in less than half an hour, the assassin of Jiangdu surrounded the Zhao clan with soldiers and horses, and even the children of the Zhao clan who went out to school and play were arrested.
The Zhao family was surrounded by a group, and they were allowed to enter but not to leave, and the people inside were full of panic and didn't know what was going on.
And Suzhou, which is still some distance away from Jiangdu, is still peaceful and doesn't know anything.
But this news is too huge, not to mention that Jiangdu didn't stop it, but he couldn't stop it if he wanted to, so the news flowed out of Jiangdu and flew everywhere.
