In the eyes of Empress Zhao Qiyue, Bianliang is very different from Yanping.

Although it is prosperous here, but the war is chaotic, if Yanping represents the quiet years, Bianliang is full of bloody killing.

Yanping also has a power struggle, but it is all a cold knife to kill, and when it comes to Bianliang, everything becomes fierce and straightforward.

For Zhao Qiyue, there is no better or worse statement, as a disciple of the general, she has no reason not to adapt to the war, as the overlord of the younger generation of the Zhenguo Mansion, she has long been accustomed to being fearless of everything, and at the same time, as the eldest sister who needs to take care of her younger siblings and shelter her younger siblings, she is meticulous, and there is nothing she can't bear.

In the early winter days, the cold wind has just arrived, although it is not very cold, but it can already make people feel uncomfortable, Zhao Qiyue is sitting upright in the pavilion, drinking tea while overlooking the busy Bianliang City.

Because of the long contemplation, gradually, the two long eyebrows seemed to turn into two sharp swords.

Before entering the palace, like every young woman, she had a simple and beautiful yearning for her future life.

It's just that these eight words are not a very good evaluation for husband and wife, and the formal respect shows that they are just alienated from each other, which is far less positive than the words Qin Se and Ming, and Shui Milk - blending.

At that time, Zhao Qiyue hadn't found anything wrong, and she worked hard to do her duty as a wife on weekdays, cooking for the emperor, taking care of the emperor's daily life, and also doing her duty as the queen to keep the harem in order.

For two people who were not familiar with each other before, it is possible to get along for a long time in exchange for mutual intimacy, and Zhao Qiyue thought that she and the emperor were the same.

It's a pity that not long after, Zhao Yujie, who was nicknamed "Wu Mei", almost came out of nowhere, and quickly established her position in Miyagi.

The emperor, who was already diligent in political affairs and did not stay in the harem, only Zhao Yujie was around, and Zhao Qiyue's position was slowly lost.

The four words of interest marriage, most of the time it seems cold, but this is the case that there are many men and women in the family, in most cases, the husband and wife can be harmonious, and there are many cases of affection, after all, everyone's growth environment is about the same, the education is about the same, the insight and way of thinking are almost the same, and the three views are the same.

Zhao Qiyue didn't expect that he would face such a situation, and it would be difficult to even see the emperor.

What she didn't expect at the time was that this was just the beginning.

Then, with the increasing status of Zhao Yujie, her situation became more and more bad, and she often did not see the emperor all month long.

In those two years, those fantasies in Zhao Qiyue's heart and his feelings for the emperor were exhausted in the disappointment day after day.

When Zhao Yujie gave birth to a daughter, because she couldn't rely on her son, she smothered her and blamed her, Zhao Qiyue realized how ridiculous her situation was.

After being in the palace for so many years, she didn't say that she had no heirs, and she didn't even have what she should have, but Zhao Yujie was able to be pampered and arrogant, and she could kill her own children with her own hands.

Although this incident is to blame her, Zhao Yujie's arrogance can already be seen.

The most difficult day was when there was a rumor of the abolition of the palace in the palace, which was the biggest insult to Zhao Qiyue.

Although the matter after the abolition was put on hold, and Zhao Yujie also lost the position of "internal minister", when the emperor came to the Lizheng Hall again with a rich reward, Zhao Qiyue found that there was no joy in his heart, only a strong disgust.

Seeing Song Zhi's fake concern in front of her, if it weren't for the cultivation of the Wang Ji Realm, she would not have been able to suppress her desire to vomit at all.

At that time, she had fully understood that in the eyes of the emperor, she was not a person of flesh and blood, but just a tool to connect the Zhao family and the family.

If the emperor had come some time earlier, instead of being forced by the national war situation, as a queen who had no way out, marrying a chicken and a dog and marrying a dog, Zhao Qiyue might have abandoned the estrangement, but the turmoil after the abolition had already occurred, and Zhao Qiyue was willing to take care of the overall situation, and he was not weak after all.

She has her own feelings, and she will never completely lose her personality and dignity at any time, so she can no longer play with Song Zhi and coexist peacefully.

On the way from Yanping to Bianliang, Zhao Qiyue wanted to stop halfway several times, and casually found an excuse to fight with the Beihu cultivators.

If you can take down one or two heads of the Beihu King Extreme Realm, and there is still life after the war, then go back to Jinyang, and fight side by side with your family's relatives and friends, and the Yanmen army, as a cultivator of the Great Qi of the generals, and fight with Beihu to the end.

If you fail to achieve results and die on the battlefield, it is better than continuing to be a queen who has no hope in life, only grievances and insults. Since sooner or later it will be abolished, why bother with nostalgia and hesitation?

Zhao Qiyue has always been a person who sits up and walks, and never drags his feet in doing things. The reason why he didn't go back to Jinyang this time, but went to Bianliang in silence, was just the result of deducing the situation.

Before the emperor planned to set up the Hedong Jiedu envoy, she expected that there would be such a day.

She needs to stay in the center, as a hostage.

If there was no hostage for her, why would the emperor dare to give the Zhao clan great power in the Jin land? Isn't he really afraid that the Zhao clan will support the army and respect itself, divide one side, and plot to rebel?

The emperor always needs some restraint and the reliance of important ministers before he gives the other party the power to become a prince of one side.

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty has already made a resolution, and the edict to set up the Hedong Jiedu envoy is about to be issued, and Brother Ning said that this is the last chance. If the queen doesn't leave at this time, it will be difficult to have a chance to get out in the future. Please leave with us, otherwise after we go back, we will definitely not be able to pay to Brother Ning, but we are afraid that our heads will fall to the ground. ”

It was Hu Honglian who spoke.

She is Bianliang who came with Zhao Xuanji, and has the identity given by the Zhao family.

After saying this, Hu Honglian half-knelt on the ground.

Zhao Qiyue picked up Zhao Ning's letter to her and read it again, and at the end, with nostalgia and reluctance, she burned the rice paper to ashes with true anger.

After doing this action, Zhao Qiyue exhaled a long breath, as if he had consumed all his strength.

"At the beginning of the war, Xiao Ningzi refused to tell me his plan for this battle, but he just urged me to find an opportunity to return to Jinyang in the process of moving south of the imperial court, and I knew that in his plan, Jinyang would inevitably become the core area in the future, and I would also be trapped in the center and not be able to get out. ”

Speaking of this, she smiled inexplicably, "I am from Jiangmen, and it is not difficult to deduce the battle situation." I know Xiao Ningzi's ability, and I know that even if she faces the 300,000 army of Beihu, she can at least protect the Zhao family and the Yanmen army. ”

Her tone became a little high-pitched:

"After all, the Zhao clan is to dominate the military and political power of Jindi, and I must also stay in the center, our majesty may not be able to do anything else, but the emperor's technique is not badly cultivated, and she will never allow me to leave." It just so happens that I don't plan to escape, as long as the Zhao clan can have the power to act cheaply in Jindi, why should I stay in Bianliang?"

With another sigh of relief, Zhao Qiyue only had fortitude on his face:

"Tell Xiao Ningzi that I will watch him in Bianliang to make great achievements in Jindi. As long as he does well enough, and the Beihu army can't defeat the Yellow River, I won't be in danger, and he doesn't have to worry about me. ”

Hu Honglian saw that Zhao Qiyue had made up his mind, and couldn't help but be sour and unspeakable, so he could only bow to the ground and bow down.

......

The news that Zhao Beiwang was appointed as the envoy of Hedong Jiedu was learned at the same time as the news that Zhao Qiyue refused to return to Jinyang. He was not surprised by either of them, but he had some regrets about the latter.

From the moment Zhao Qiyue arrived in Bianliang, Zhao Ning knew that the other party had insight into his true thoughts, and also understood that Zhao Beiwang would become the envoy of Hedong Festival sooner or later, and knew that he must exist as a hostage.

For Zhao Ning, it was not impossible for Zhao Qiyue to stay in Bianliang, it was not easy for the Beihu army to cross the river, and a group of grassland herdsmen wanted to cross the Yellow River by boat safely, and successfully landed under the interception of Wang Shi, which was as difficult as climbing to the sky.

It takes a long time to prepare, whether it's building ships or training warriors.

If the defense envoys of Bianliang and Yunzhou are good at fighting and attacking on the river, they will have a lot of room to play during this time, even if they don't win much in each battle, if they can be frequently harassed, they can also make the Beihu army overwhelmed.

Bianliang is safe for the time being.

The reason why Zhao Ning wanted Zhao Qiyue to come to Jinyang was because on the one hand, considering that the other party should be bored in the palace, and changing the environment to reunite with her family was conducive to her mood;

On the other hand, in fact, he was also worried that when the Beihu army started the battle to cross the river, Tianyuan Khan would personally take action, and at that time, the cultivators of the Wang Extreme Realm in Bianliang would have a certain risk of life and death.

Of course, it is also possible that Tianyuan Khan will come to Jinyang.

Regarding this, Zhao Ning is not worried.

The other party is the biggest threat, in order to solve this obvious problem, Zhao Ning has made sufficient arrangements in Jinyang over the years, and when the time comes, the other party may not be able to easily set foot in Jinyang City.

"The Longyou Army reported that they initially blocked the invading Beihu army at Yumen Pass. Zhao Xun entered the door and handed over a letter, and after Zhao Beiwang read it, he handed it to Zhao Ning casually.

This battle report did not surprise Zhao Ning.

This time, Beihu started the national war, although it was a three-way march, but in fact, there were only the armies of the left and right Xianwang, with sufficient troops, and the western route was led by Meng Ge, the second prince of the Tianyuan royal court, and the army that invaded Longyou was only more than 100,000 people.

In the previous life, the reason why Beihu had a million-strong army was that he annexed the Dadan Department early, and there was a two-year reorganization time.

In this life, they have just annexed the Dadan Ministry, and the binding force on the Dadan Ministry's soldiers and horses is not enough, and they are not at ease, plus the Dadan army suffered heavy casualties in the internal struggle between the Dadan prince and the evil king Batu, so they almost did not participate in this battle.

Without the soldiers and horses of the Dadan Department, the army of the North Hu Nan invaders only had a total of more than 700,000.

In this situation, the soldiers and horses of Beihu's attack on the Western Regions can only play a role in containing the Longyou Army strategically, and it is almost impossible to kill from the Western Regions to the hinterland of Longyou, cross countless mountains and dangerous obstacles, Xiongguan fortresses, and approach Guanzhong.

However, this is also a great hindrance to Daqi.

In the previous years, Longyou's army fought the most battles, fighting more and more in the vast land of the Western Regions, and in terms of scale and tragedy, it was not comparable to the experienced nature of the Shanhaiguan garrison in Liaodong.

Therefore, the Longyou Army has the largest number of soldiers and horses, and the soldiers are more elite, except for the Yanmen Army, the combat power can be called the crown of the dynasty.

Now the Longyou Army is pinned down by Beihu soldiers and horses, and it is unable to return to the Central Plains, which is a great weakening of the combat strength of Daqi on both sides of the Yellow River.

"Chalahan's army is not far from Taihang Mountain, and the next thing is a real fierce battle, and the Zhao clan and the land of the Three Jin Dynasty will face a real test. If you win, you win, and if you lose, you will be overthrown!"

Zhao Beiwang looked at the Zhao clan in the hall, "Are you ready?"

All the people raised their spirits to fight.

Zhao Ning put away the Longyou Army Newspaper, and saw that everyone looked at themselves after answering Zhao Beiwang's question, so he smiled, "We have already made the preparations that should be made, and in the future, we just invite you into the urn." ”
