The so-called 800 miles express is not really a day can travel 800 miles, the ancient land post fast horse can go 6 posts a day, about 180 miles, and then fast must travel 300 miles a day, the fastest requirement is 500 miles a day, Youzhou is more than 1,000 miles away from the capital, it may take ten days and half a month to take a carriage, and it is okay not to walk in a hurry, but 800 miles can be rushed in three days.

Counting the time again, three days ago was the day when the eldest prince was exchanged with Beiliang, and Xiao Chunzi was already sure in his heart that something went wrong when he exchanged the eldest prince.

Therefore, he immediately knocked on the door of the study, and in the door, Ye Hanyu immediately stood up: "Got it." ”

The knocking on the door stopped, and Ye Hanyu was not ready to change his clothes: "Something must have happened, you can go into the palace to take a look, you can use it yourself for lunch, and if you have something, you will ask Xiaochunzi to pass a message to you." ”

Gu Wanning also put down her pen: "Master don't worry too much, this time Uncle Huang has made preparations early, and there will definitely be no accident at the border." ”

Ye Hanyu also thinks so, but sometimes, something impossible happens so unexpectedly.

……

Under the pretext of rescuing the Great Prince, Beiliang gathered 200,000 troops to the border and launched an attack on Daxing.

The total number of Zhanbei troops is 300,000, but not all of them are stationed in Youzhou City.

There are a total of three large state capitals bordering Daxing in Northern Liang, Youzhou, Raozhou, and Heishui City, and the Northern Army of Zhan is stationed in these three places.

Blackwater City is in the northernmost part of Daxing, where the temperature is extremely low, and it will be unusually cold in winter, and the temperature will be much lower than other places, so it has also become a place of exile for those exiles.

However, Blackwater City and Beiliang are blocked by Heimu Mountain, which is covered with ice and snow all year round, and it is extremely steep, making it difficult for ordinary people to walk, so Blackwater City is the safest place, and Beiliang almost doesn't want to avoid that place even if he attacks Daxing.

Then there is Raozhou, because the North Liang does not trade with Daxing, Raozhou City took advantage of the terrain to build a tall, thick and long strong city wall, the North Liang wants to break through this city wall, can only boil all the soldiers in the city to death, but this is basically impossible, because once the beacon smoke of Raozhou City is ignited, the king of war will immediately lead his subordinates to help.

Moreover, Raozhou City is the only city with two city walls in the Daxing Dynasty, not to say that it cannot be breached, it can only be said that it is too difficult!

Therefore, the Emperor of Northern Liang has sent people to assassinate the Assassin King many times in recent years, and Youzhou City, which has no War King, is simply inadequate in the eyes of the Northern Liang people.

Fortunately, the king of war Jiren Tianxiang was not calculated, and the prince was detained by the Daxing Dynasty, the Emperor of Northern Liang was ready to fly, and simply took the opportunity to launch a war, the king of war was prepared for the calculation of the Emperor of Northern Liang, and the other party diverted his attention by the batch of cattle and horses, and then took advantage of the chaos to attack Youzhou City, the master arranged in advance by the king of war shot the horse tamers directly, the horses were not chaotic, the Northern Liang soldiers failed in their strategy, and they could only fight head-on, and a team of guards dressed as masters snatched the prince from the soldiers of Daxing, Sent to General Xi, General Xi was very happy to complete the task assigned by the emperor, who knew that the prince suddenly burst out, a knife into General Xi's chest, and then flew away, and on the way he met Prime Minister Gao who fled in a hurry, he directly knocked Prime Minister Gao out and took him back to Youzhou City.

The commander of the Northern Liang was stabbed in public by the prince and did not know whether he was alive or dead, and the Northern Liang soldiers were in chaos, so when the Northern soldiers were killed, they were quickly defeated and fled.

It's just that the front foot won the battle, and the news of the broken Raozhou city on the back foot was sent.

The governor of Raozhou City took advantage of the excuse of rewarding the soldiers who defended the city to stun a group of soldiers in the meal, and then opened the city gate and welcomed the Northern Liang soldiers into Raozhou City with a swagger.

When the soldiers of Youzhou City heard the news, their eyes were split, but they didn't expect that this Raozhou Zhizhou had already been bought by the people of Beiliang.

The king of war immediately sent troops to aid Raozhou City, but the 80,000 troops of Raozhou City were surrounded by the 150,000 troops of the Northern Liang, and everyone was caught off guard, and when the people sent by the King of War arrived in Raozhou City, the guards in Raozhou City led 80,000 soldiers to meet the 150,000 soldiers of the Northern Liang, because it was too sudden and passive, and it was necessary to protect the people of Raozhou City from being harmed by the people of the Northern Liang, and the fight was very tragic.

The addition of 50,000 reinforcements made the defenders of Raozhou greatly strengthened, and after a tragic battle, the Zhanbei Army could only temporarily protect the people and flee from Raozhou City for the safety of the people.

The city of Raozhou was lost.

Because of the rebellion of the governor of Raozhou, when the war report was sent to the emperor, the emperor was furious on the spot, and the governor of Raozhou City actually rebelled.

If you can't catch that Zhizhou's family, will it be fine?

Once every three years, the officials who gave him a performance appraisal and recommended him to become the governor of Raozhou were all arrested, dismissed and exiled!

Ye Hanyu entered the palace, Gu Wanning didn't see anyone for two days, of course, she wasn't idle in the past two days, silver is a flower like flowing water, wherever there are medicinal materials sold in Beijing, all of them were purchased by the Yujun Palace, and nearly 100 people in the shelter worked day and night to make pills, trauma medicines, hemostatic drugs, anti-inflammatory drugs, antipyretics, basically these kinds.

Gu Wanning ordered someone to buy some food in Beijing in case of emergency.

The imperial court is also raising grain and grass, and the emperor did not announce that he asked the king of war to take away more than one million taels of silver tickets to prepare grain and grass by himself, and the grain and grass still have to be raised, because this battle does not know how long it will take.

……

In the East Palace.

The crown princess looked at the hibiscus face in the mirror, and the injury on her right cheek had almost recovered, but there was a piece of skin at the ear that was obviously different from the other places, and it would feel obvious if it was not covered with rouge.

From Chinese New Year's Eve to the present, the prince has rarely come to her, and sometimes even if he comes, he just leaves after saying something.

Thinking of the way the prince looked at her, a dark color crossed the princess's eyes.

Before leaving, the county lord of Furou handed the prince a letter, but the prince threw it away directly after reading it, and it happened to be picked up by her palace maid.

Although the prince has such and such problems, he is not enough to deal with a woman.

Therefore, the letter given to him by the lord of Furou was in vain.

At this time, the voice of the palace maid outside sounded: "Welcome to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Wan An."

The crown princess immediately picked up the veil and put it on, then got up and greeted her, "Your Highness Jin An." ”

The prince walked in in court clothes, obviously just leaving the court, he helped the princess weakly: "No vain and more polite, get up." ”

The crown princess got up and smiled at the crown prince, "Your Highness has just come down to court, is there something wrong with coming over in such a hurry?" ”

The crown prince glanced at the veil on the princess's face, "Let them all go down, this palace has something to say to you." ”

The crown princess waved her hand at the maids, and soon the slaves and maidservants all withdrew from the palace.
