Chapter 364: The war is tight and angrily reprimands the court
Qing Xing nodded.
Over there, the king of Yanbei ordered people to guard the courtyard where Xiao Huaijin lived layer by layer, and did not let Xiao Huaijin go out of the courtyard for half a step.
waited until the half moon and July to quietly come in from outside, Xiao Huaijin hadn't stopped at the moment, sitting in front of the window and looking at the night outside, I didn't know what I was thinking.
When July came, his movements were very light, as if he was afraid of alarming the guards in the palace.
Seeing Xiao Huaijin kneeling respectfully on the ground.
"How?"
"Back to the prince, the prince sent 10,000 soldiers and horses to drag Nanzhao, and the main force went to attack Nanyang, in fact, only 20,000 people went to Nanyang, and all the remaining troops gathered in Nanzhao.
Beifeng had already mobilized troops and horses with the talisman and quietly rushed to Nanzhao. Counting the time, I am afraid that it will be ten days to arrive at Wancheng on the border of Nanzhao, and the prince is determined to attack Nanzhao.
And there was news from Nanzhao, someone changed the medicine of Princess Yong'an's injury, Princess Yong'an's wound worsened and she was seriously ill, when Princess Jincheng and King Nanzhao rushed to visit, they were assassinated by a spy hiding in the Tiance army, and King Nanzhao's life was in danger, and Nanzhao's ministers wanted to put Princess Yong'an in prison, and the matter was in an uproar. It's just that no one knows what the situation of Nanzhao is now, and the people who are only afraid of Nanzhao don't know that the prince has sent a big cake to encircle and suppress Nanzhao, and they are stiff at this time, but they are afraid that it will be more dangerous. ”
The look in Xiao Huaijin's eyes changed when he heard this, and he immediately followed the Prime Minister's Mansion that disappeared into the night in July.
The guards sent by the King of Yanbei to guard Xiao Huaijin did not find out that Xiao Huaijin was missing.
When Xiao Huaijin was afraid that he had already left the capital, Ruyan walked into Xiao Lingjun's courtyard quickly: "County Lord." ”
"How is it?" Xiao Lingjun was facing the mirror and removed the hairpin ring on his head, looking like he was ready to rest.
Hearing this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "Everything is not as expected by the county lord, the subordinates put the news to July, and after the prince learned about it, he left overnight and is now afraid that he has already left the capital." ”
Hearing this, the smile on Xiao Lingjun's face became more and more beautiful: "Have those guards been explained?"
"The county lord can rest assured that everything has been explained, and when the prince knows, it should be tomorrow morning. At that time, even if the prince sends someone to chase after him, he will not want to recover the prince, and it is estimated that when the prince arrives at Nanzhao, it is just when Beifeng takes people to declare war on Nanzhao. I heard that Beifeng has been holding a grudge since he broke his arm, and now that the prince has betrayed the prince and wants to help Hua Zhen, Beifeng will definitely make good use of this opportunity to repay his hatred for his broken arm. The more Ruyan spoke, the more smug the look in his eyes became.
Xiao Lingjun stood up when he heard this: "Okay, you go down first, I'm a little tired." ”
Ruyan nodded and stepped back respectfully.
Xiao Lingjun walked to the window, blew out the lights, and looked at the moonlight outside the window, but the look in his eyes was extremely cold.
Dressed in red, he looks even more bewitching at night.
It's just that no one saw her like this.
When King Yanbei got up early the next day, he heard the guards coming over, saying that Xiao Lingjun had charmed all the guards with medicine and fled overnight.
No one knows where he went.
When King Yanbei heard this, he was immediately furious and ordered someone to chase Xiao Huaijin back quickly.
However, a few days later, Nanzhao got the news, and the king of Yanbei issued an edict to the king of Nanyang, ordering the king of Nanyang to enter Beijing alone.
The king of Nanyang knew that this was a plan set up by Xiao Gan, and if he entered Beijing, he would not be able to escape a dead word, but if he did not enter Beijing, he would be disrespectful to the will.
simply tore his face completely, tore up the edict, and said that this was an edict forged by Xiao Qian, in order to persecute important ministers of the court.
And take the lead, before Xiao Qian issued an edict ordering the princes to encircle and suppress the Southern Zhao, contact a kind of princes, and work together to overthrow Xiao Qian.
Xiao Qian was furious when he heard the news, and ordered General Wuwei to bring an army of 100,000 to encircle and suppress the king of Nanyang.
The momentum along the way is huge.
When Princess Jincheng learned of this news, she immediately asked someone to send a letter to Hua Zhen, since she had already made an alliance, she couldn't let King Nanyang go.
He also asked Qin Yuan to lead 50,000 troops to attack Dayan from the south and reinforce the king of Nanyang from the side.
When Xiao Qian learned of this, he asked the Jiangzhou Assassin Shi, who was closest to Wancheng, to lead his troops to resist Nanzhao's troops.
Princess Jincheng thought that Dayan only used the 20,000 garrison troops in Jiangzhou to fight against Nanzhao, so she didn't care too much.
When Qin Yuan rushed to Jiangzhou with his soldiers and horses, he found that he had fallen into the trap of Dayan.
50,000 soldiers and horses were surrounded in Jiangzhou, but 20,000 were killed and wounded in two days.
Qin Yuan was left with 30,000 soldiers and horses to defend Qingfeng Mountain.
When the news came back to Nanzhao, the government and the opposition were alarmed.
The prime minister took his ministers to the court, and invited Princess Jincheng here, there must be a spy in the court, and this is the trajectory of Dayan.
Bai Yu lay down for seven days before he woke up, and his whole body was still poisonous, and he was already very weak.
Knowing that Qin Yuan was defeated and trapped in Qingfeng Mountain, he forcibly held on to the court.
Princess Jincheng accompanied her with a solemn face.
Qin Huai and several generals were also in the court.
He asked for his life to lead troops to save Qin Yuan.
When the prime minister heard this, he looked at Qin Huai and sneered: "I think at this time, the young general is still staying in the royal capital, and it is appropriate not to go anywhere." ”
Hearing this, Qin Huai's face suddenly changed: "What does the prime minister mean by this?"
The Major General knew it in his heart. ”
Saying that, the prime minister's face changed: "My Nanzhao and Dayan have been in harmony for five years, and neither the people of Nanzhao nor the territory of Nanzhao want to suffer the poison of war.
Originally, the two countries were at peace, even if something happened to him Dayan, it had nothing to do with my Nanzhao. But since the young general and Princess Yong'an arrived in Nanzhao, how many things have happened, the young general should know in his heart. Now that the king has been assassinated and seriously injured, and now Dayan has taken the opportunity to attack Nanzhao, are these all coincidences? Since it's not a coincidence, the young general, isn't it clear in his heart? ”
"What is the identity of the young general, the young general himself knows in his heart, you are causing trouble for Nanzhao, now the current army of the Great Yan General Qin Yuan is trapped in Qingfeng Mountain, at this time the young general will lead the troops to go, it will inevitably cause criticism, the young general is going, whether it is to save people, or to open the gate of my Nanzhao, and enlarge Yan's people to enter the customs, no one can say.
The current Nanzhao can't afford to toss like this, so I ask the major general not to ask for another levy. ”
In front of the civil and military officials of the court, the prime minister did not leave any affection.
The look on Qin Huai's face was very ugly, and he wanted to argue again, but he was stopped by Bai Yu: "Qin Huai." ”
When Qin Huai heard this, he had to swallow back the words that came to his lips.
Bai Yu had just woken up, and he was still a little weak at the moment, looking at the ministers standing above the court, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
He is clear about the identities of Hua Zhen and Qin Huai, and he also knows that above the court, those people have thoughts that they shouldn't have, and they can see it clearly.
Seeing that he wanted to finish talking about Qin Huai again, he stood aside with his hands folded.
Bai Yugang wanted to speak, but because he inhaled the cold wind, he suddenly coughed.
Princess Jincheng looked very worried, frowned slightly, and wanted Bai Yu to go back to the harem to rest first, and wait until he was well, and he would deal with it first.
But before he could speak, Bai Yu said first: "Then according to the words of the prime minister, how should I face this matter now?"
Hearing this, the prime minister bowed respectfully, and said in a loud voice: "King Qiyu, in the opinion of the ministers, the reason why Da Yan will send 100,000 troops to attack Nanzhao is because a few days ago, the envoys of King Nanyang of Da Yan had visited Princess Yong'an in the royal capital. As far as the minister knows, the king of Nanyang sent someone to see Princess Yong'an this time, and he did only one thing, and he came to discuss the matter of working together to deal with Xiao Qian, the prime minister of Dayan.
Now Xiao Qian covers the sky with one hand, and the entire Dayan is under his control, even so, Xiao Qian can't tolerate the union of the king of Nanyang and Nanzhao, so he sent troops to attack Nanzhao.
They only wanted to do two things, one was to get rid of Princess Yong'an, who conspired with the King of Nanyang, and the other was to warn me that Nanzhao should not think about overthrowing Dayan. That's why he sent heavy troops to deal with Nanzhao, since all these things are like this, there is only one root, that is, Dayan launched a war for Princess Yong'an this time.
That being the case, the minister thought that he should directly hand over Princess Yong'an to the emperor of Dayan, and express his determination that my Nanzhao would never have the intention of rebelling, and the emperor and prime minister of Dayan could withdraw their troops for the sake of Nanzhao taking the initiative to hand over Princess Yong'an.
Only in this way can General Qin and the 30,000 soldiers trapped on Qingfeng Mountain be rescued with minimal losses. ”
As he spoke, he knelt respectfully on the ground.
Watching the prime minister kneel, the courtiers in the court also observed their words and expressions one by one and knelt down.
"What the prime minister said is very obvious, Xiao Qian is so obvious, this is for Princess Yong'an, this is very true, the emperor only needs to hand over Princess Yong'an, and he can return Nanzhao a peace. Please also ask the king to think twice, for the people of Nanzhao, now my Nanzhao really can't withstand any war, and now with Dayan, whether it is winning or losing, it will be a disaster for Nanzhao, and please think twice. ”
"Please also ask the king to think twice and consider the subjects of Nanzhao. ”
Seeing that the ministers were all kneeling on top of the golden palace, the coldness in Bai Yu's heart was even worse, and his pale face was even more pale.
"Are you forcing me to hand over my cousin in order to make a living?"
"The king, we are also for the sake of the people of Nanzhao, since Princess Yong'an is the princess of Nanzhao, she naturally does not want to see the people of Nanzhao suffer from the war because of her, and please ask the king to be clear. ”
A sneer overflowed the corners of his mouth, and Bai Yu looked at the ministers and stood up.
Although he is not very old, he always looks indecent in front of Hua Zhen.
But above the court, there is a domineering spirit from the bones, that is, this bone domineering, from the inside out, even if he is seriously injured at the moment, it also gives people a feeling of not being angry and self-threatening.
The courtiers led by the prime minister knelt on the ground, only to feel a chill behind them, and a sense of oppression arose, and no one dared to look at Bai Yu's face.
"Now Xiao Gan has sent troops to the door of my Nanzhao and besieged my Nanzhao's generals in Qingfeng Mountain, but you are asking me to hand over Princess Yong'an, and use my cousin's life to beg Xiao Gan to raise his noble hand. This time I handed over my cousin, but what about next time? Do you want to hand over my sister Yurong, or send my aunt to Dayan and beg him to open up the net.
Zhang He, I want to ask, how much benefit did this Xiao Qian give you, so that you are above the court, so messing with my Nanzhao army. At present, the enemy is not thinking about how to deal with it, but thinking about how to beg for mercy and surrender, if so, I will hand over the land of Nanzhao to him Xiao Qian!"
