Chapter 373: Internal and External Troubles (8)

Half an hour later, Yanwang Palace, Longqian Palace.

In a blink of an eye, it had been a year since Wei Nong left Yanwang Palace, and there were so many things that had happened in this year, and every single one of them was an unbearable pain in her life. Nie Xingji left here a year ago ambitiously, but never returned, and every time he thought of this place, he couldn't feel sad.

At the first glance of Nie Xingyi, Wei Nong was sure that the news of the defeat of the Yan army was true, because his panic and anxiety could not be concealed at all, and the whole person looked extremely negative.

Nie Xingyi saw that Wei Nong was coming, first surprised, and then sarcastic: "What? As soon as you came back, the eldest princess pushed you to the front desk? ”

Wei Nong didn't have the heart to quarrel with him, so he only asked, "How did the Yan army lose?" Can the message be exact? Where is the Marquis of Zhenguo? ”

Nie Xingyi didn't say anything, and directly reported to her: "You can see for yourself." ”

Wei Nong immediately picked up and read carefully, and the more he read, the more frightened he became. The military newspaper said that when Ming Chenyuan arrived in Youzhou, the Yan army had lost four cities, and he led people to successfully raid and successfully recaptured Youzhou Mansion, but he didn't want the Ning army to have another trick, surrounded Youzhou Mansion, and cut off all the passages out of the city. Ming Chenyuan was trapped in Youzhou Mansion together with 50,000 soldiers and horses, and the Yan army wanted to rescue him, but there was no commander in the army, and the deputy generals had different opinions.

Now, the people and horses of Mingchenyuan have been trapped in Youzhou Mansion for five days, the food and grass in the city have been cut off, the water source has been cut off, and the situation is precarious. The Ning army demanded that the Yan army withdraw from Youzhou, retreat to the south of Cangshan, and send an envoy to sue for peace. If Ning Yan can sit down and negotiate, Ning Guo is willing to send the Marquis of Zhenguo back to show his sincerity, but the 50,000 troops must be detained; If the negotiations go well, the Yan State is willing to surrender, and the 50,000 troops will be directly incorporated into the Ning army.

The implication is that if you want Ning Guo to let these 50,000 people go, there will be no door! But if Yan Guo does not agree to peace talks, the Marquis of Zhenguo and these 50,000 horses will all die in Youzhou Mansion!

Reading the entire military newspaper slightly, his mind was blank. 50,000 people are trapped, if they can't get out again, how long can they hold on? The water source was cut off, the food and grass were eaten, and the fate that awaited them was death of thirst and starvation!

If you think more terrifyingly, it may also cause public outrage and infighting, and it is very likely that people will eat people! And once such news reaches the ears of the world, the Yan army will be ruined regardless of victory or defeat. At that time, Yan Guo will really lose the hearts of the people!

As long as he thought of these consequences, Wei Nong was shocked into a cold sweat, and hurriedly asked Nie Xingyi: "What are you going to do?" ”

"Can I call the shots?" Nie Xingyi sneered: "If I can call the shots, will I send someone to find the eldest princess?" Hou has already gone to Ningguo for peace talks, and King Ning's request is not for me, but for you. ”

After hearing this, Wei Nong immediately replied: "I have already persuaded the eldest princess, she will detoxify your children." ”

Nie Xingyi's face paleated a little when he heard this, his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth in the hall, as if he had no master.

Wei Nong only thought about the life and death of the 50,000 people, and then asked: "Except for Ming Chenyuan, is there no one in the army who can lead the troops to fight?" The top priority is to rescue these 50,000 people! ”

"Don't you want to save me?" Nie Xingyi suddenly became angry: "There are people in the court who lead the troops to fight, but who can command the Yan army?" These people who went to attack Ning Guo were all men and horses led by Nie Xingji himself, known as the 'Prince Regent'! How many eyes do they have? Except for Nie Xingji and Ming Chenyuan, whose orders will they follow? Even if I send someone to take over Ming Chenyuan and stop the rescue, who can listen to my orders? It doesn't matter how many generals you send, they will all be suppressed by Nie Xingji's lineage! ”

Wei Nong seemed to be shocked by Nie Xingyi, and was stunned for a moment before he said: "No, I have also gone on an expedition, and I can also mobilize them in the battle of Youzhou Mansion." ”

"What is the relationship between you and Nie Xingji? What do I have to do with him? And he was alive then! Nie Xingyi's face turned red with anger: "If he were alive, we wouldn't have fallen to such a state at all!" The point is that he's dead now! The hearts of the people in the army are changing, do you think they can still listen to me? ”

Nie Xingyi showed a sarcastic smile: "Heh! When Nie Xingji was still alive, they looked down on me, and now they will only look down on me even more! Rescue them? Sorry, I can't move! ”

In the past, Nie Xingji was in power, and almost all the military power was in his own hands, so he stabilized his position as regent and established his absolute prestige in the army. But now that he is dead, the disadvantages of this dictatorship have been revealed, the generals are not convinced by anyone, and the army he personally brought out is even more eye-catching, and he will no longer obey Nie Xingyi's orders.

And this point, Wei Nong has never felt before, and he didn't think of it at all. She only saw that the generals were very respectful to her, and she only saw that the Yan army camp was united and harmonious, but she didn't find that these were the scenes of Nie Xingji's life, and when he left, all their contradictions were stimulated!

In all fairness, no one is to blame for this, even if it is an ordinary family, if they lack the backbone of the main heart, they will have no master. What's more, the army of hundreds of thousands of people now lacks an absolute authoritative leader, and it is predictable that it will be scattered.

Wei Nong tried his best to calm down and search for a rescue solution, thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help blurting out: "Don't you still have 50,000 horses?" ”

Nie Xingyi immediately looked at her vigilantly and continued to sneer: "Are you stupid for me?" Take my men and horses to save people, Ming Chenyuan will be grateful to me? Yan Jun will look up to me? And when the eldest princess sees that there is no one under me, she will immediately seize power! These 50,000 people are my last life saver, and no one can touch them! ”

Wei Nong saw his resolute attitude and tried to persuade: "If you are the king of Yan for a day, you have to think about the overall situation for a day, you ......"

"Just because I'm the King of Yan, these people can't move. Have you ever seen King Yan who has no soldiers in his hands? Nie Xingyi pointed to his feet and laughed: "Also, if you transfer these people away, who will guard Gyeonggi?" King Ning will be able to wave his troops south through Chu Di immediately! The dignified capital of Yan Guoguo, do you want to break yourself? ”

"King Ning didn't call so quickly, as long as we succeed in rescuing the Marquis of Zhenguo, we can slow down!" Wei Nong is anxious to persuade again.

"Why should I listen to you?" Nie Xingyi was finally completely angry, waved his hand and slammed the teacup on the side of the case: "Isn't it aggrieved enough for me, the King of Yan?" Is this my country, my country? The peaceful and prosperous world has been occupied by Nie Xingji, and now that the army is defeated, you think that I am the king of Yan! Why did I save Ming Chenyuan?! Don't forget that he's my enemy! I wish he was dead! Hopefully! ”

Nie Xingyi shouted hysterically, pointing at his slightly thick nose and shouting frantically: "Aren't you able to move the Yan army?" You go and save it! You go, you go! ”

Wei Nong really wants to put on his wings and fly away. But now it's too late! From Yan Kingdom to Ning Kingdom, it will take nearly a month to travel without sleep, and by then 50,000 Yan troops will have already starved to death!

Even if she writes a letter to the past, who will recognize it? Maybe someone wishes that Ming Chenyuan would die quickly, so that they can take those soldiers and horses for themselves! Throughout history, those who can successfully usurp power are military generals!

Wei Nong only felt that her brain was not enough, her whole body was in pain, and she was completely crushed by the rush for days and the exhaustion of her energy for days. She only felt that her eyes were black, her legs were weak, and she finally couldn't lift her breath and fell to the ground. But fortunately, she did her best to support herself from fainting.

Seeing her suddenly fall to her knees, Nie Xingyi immediately took two steps back vigilantly: "What are you doing?" ”

Wei Nong only felt that it was difficult to breathe, dizzy, and breathless: "Spread the ...... The Imperial Physician ......"

*****

When Wei Nong woke up, it was already dark, and she sat up from the bed suddenly, only to find Wei Lianpian standing beside her. Looking down again, he looked at himself, he had already changed his clothes and freshened up, and was only wearing a middle coat wrapped in a silk thin jacket.

"How long did I sleep?" This was Weinong's first thought, she was afraid that she would sleep for a few days and nights and delay the military plane.

"Don't worry, it's just a few hours of sleep." Wei Lianpian saw her wake up, and hurriedly picked up a bowl of soup and medicine on the table and sent it to her: "The imperial doctor said that you have been running around for days, worrying and depressed, just overtired, and there is no big problem." ”

Wei Nong nodded and took the medicine bowl from Wei Lianpian's hand: "Thank you." ”

Wei Lianpian sighed: "Family and country affairs, women shouldn't worry about it, why should you torture yourself." ”

Wei Nong only buried his head in drinking the medicine, and was silent, until a bowl of soup and medicine was at the bottom, and then asked, "Where is Nie Xingyi?" ”

"After you fainted, the king went to the study to summon his ministers, also to discuss the siege of the army. The people of Fangcai Palace sent the imperial meal in, and I heard that they haven't moved a bite yet. Wei Lianpian lowered his eyes and tried his best to suppress his worry: "I don't know him...... What's going on with him right now. ”

Wei Nong knew that the "he" in Wei Lianpian's mouth did not refer to Nie Xingyi, but Ming Chenyuan, and she did not hide it from her: "The 50,000 army was trapped for five days, and the food and grass in the city were cut off, so I guess I could eat all the food, if I didn't think of a rescue earlier, the consequences would be unimaginable." ”

Wei Lianpian is a smart woman, as soon as she heard this, she knew the severity, and immediately reddened her eyes: "Isn't he brave and good at fighting?" Can't you escape on your own? He should always have the ability to save himself. ”

"The 50,000 soldiers and horses have no food, grass and water sources, and they have no strength to save themselves. Even if Ming Chen can escape, he will not do it - abandon the army and flee, the military law will not escape death, and his reputation will be ruined. He replied in a deep voice.

When Wei Lianpian heard this, tears had already flowed out: "County Lord, it's better to ...... Why don't we throw in the towel! ”

The slightly thick eyes were suddenly condensed.

Wei Lianpian didn't give her a chance to refute, and knelt down beside her bed, pleading with tears: "County Lord, even if I beg you, admit defeat!" The Marquis of Zhenguo was the most important person in the regent's life, and you can't watch him die! There are also 50,000 troops, if they are trapped in Youzhou Mansion...... You teach the world how to look at Yan Kingdom! ”

"I want to save him more than you, but the price of admitting defeat is too great, and I can't think of a better way than to raid and rescue him." Slightly thick eyes show sorrow.

"I'm afraid that Master Hou won't be able to wait! It's been five days, and 50,000 people are going to eat and drink! Wei Lianpian has always been calm, but at this moment he is already in tears: "Wait for you and the king to discuss the rescue method, and then pass the order to the Yan army, and the Yan army will go to the rescue again, it will take a few days to say the least!" Even if the rescue is successful, will he still be alive? Can Yan Jun still live? ”
