Chapter 3: The Turmoil
As soon as these words came out, Duan Xu couldn't help but look at Xiao Ling Jiang.
He had already felt that it was not a wise move to be close to Da Zhou, and according to Princess Yong'an's style of acting, she would not be so willing to do that risky and unfavorable thing with her pro-Xifan.
But this is the policy of the imperial court, and he and Guo Xiaoxing are not good at adding more beaks, so they can only try it out through small talk.
Looking at it now, could it be that she really had such a plan?
Facing the shining eyes of the two of them, Xiao Lingjiang couldn't help but smile on her face, she nodded and said bluntly: "It does mean this." ”
"It's just that I'm in the light, the enemy is in the dark, and Xifan and the Divine Palace don't know what tricks to come up with. If I want to succeed, I still have to trouble the two of you to help me. ”
Hearing the answer he wanted, Guo Xiaoxing's heart suddenly excited.
He has been stationed at the border for many years, so he naturally knows the wolf ambitions of Xifan very well.
Over the years, Xifan has continued to expand westward, and under the battles everywhere, the ambition of Xifan's expansion has become more than before, and the rich land of the Great Zhou has also become more coveted.
Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Xifan has been invading Liangzhou endlessly, and more than ten years ago, it took advantage of the Great Zhou Dynasty to rebel against the king and plot rebellion, and took the opportunity to attack Hexi and Longyou, and occupied Song and Shazhou.
How could Da Zhou have lost such face?
After the current saint ascended the throne, he intended to recapture the lost land, but the Xifan soldiers were fierce, and the Southern Zhao and Beidi were also ready to move, so many years have passed, but the ambush of the lost land is two or three out of ten, and countless people of the Great Zhou Dynasty are still living under the rule of the Xifan people, and there is a country but can not return.
In the first two years, the invasion of the counties and counties in the surrounding Xinjiang was even more frequent, and in addition to those small-scale actions, there was a tendency to attack the Great Zhou Dynasty with fierce troops and horses.
Fortunately, Nanzhao, who was secretly conspiring with Xifan, failed to attack Yaocheng, and was pinched by the Great Zhou and turned to attack Xifan. Xifan didn't expect it, so he naturally didn't dare to make any more moves for a while, so as not to end up with a left and right attack.
With the gradual determination of Nanzhao and Beidi, Da Zhou gradually freed up his hands to recover Song and Sha in one fell swoop.
At this time, Xifan took the initiative to sue for peace, luring him to return Shazhou, to conclude an alliance with the Great Zhou, and also chose Princess Yong'an to make peace.
The two states lost their land, only one state, and the princess of Yong'an has made great contributions, which is a great help to the country and the people.
But the saint agreed.
After Guo Xiaoxing learned the news, he couldn't help but sigh, but fortunately Duan Xu explained, and then he thought of Princess Yong'an's plan.
It's just that Duan Xu has always been cautious and refuses to ask each other directly, the two of them sat here for a long time today, playing a big circle of Tai Chi, in the end, he couldn't hold back and asked bluntly.
"Rest assured, the princess will be stationed in Liangzhou for most of her life, in order not to let Da Zhou lose another city and a pool. If you have the method to deal with Xifan and cut off his wolf ambitions, you will definitely cooperate with your heart and go all out! Guo Xiaoxing knelt on his knees, clasped his hands into fists and said solemnly.
Duan Xu on the side leaned over and said loudly: "Although the minister is a minister, the heart of Zhou is also a piece of ice sincerity. Listen to the princess! ”
Xiao Lingjiang was moved when he heard this, and took two steps forward to help the two of them with his own hands: "With the help of the two of you, I will have more confidence in my trip with the son." ”
These two people, one in charge of the army and the other in charge, no matter what Xifan and the Divine Palace planned on the border of the Great Zhou, she could also deal with it in time.
And the two of them have been fighting with Xifan all the year round, and they must have a deeper understanding of Xifan, and when she enters the territory of Xifan in the future, with these two people behind her back, she can act more smoothly.
Now that we have been open and honest, it is naturally much easier to communicate with everything else.
In the boundary of Liangzhou, if you want to know what changes can be made in the shadows, no one can arrange it more appropriately than Guo Xiaoxing and Duan Xu personally.
However, the strange thing is that when most of the rest period has passed, there is no movement in Gongji, and there is no sign of the shrine hidden in the shadows.
Xiao Lingjiang couldn't help but be surprised: "Could it be that they really have to wait until they enter Xifan before they do it?" ”
Liangzhou is the last state she passed through to Xifan in the Great Zhou.
The royal court of Xibo is located on the plateau, the climate and water are very different from Ying, it is inevitable that the entourage will not adapt to the water and soil after arriving in Xifan, the courtiers will discuss with Xibo before departure, and the team of relatives will rest in Liangzhou for half a month and then leave Zhou into Tibet.
Gongji responded very happily, and took the initiative to mention: "Xifan and the Great Zhou are far away, and the princess may be difficult to return after she goes, so we should also understand the princess's reluctance to give up her homeland, why don't you change the half moon to January?" In this way, the people who accompany them can better adapt to the terrain of the northwest wind, and the princess can also adjust her mood. ”
Seeing that he was so thoughtful, the courtiers naturally agreed.
As a result, the time to rest in Liangzhou was set from half a month to one month.
When Xiao Lingjiang first knew about this, he felt that Gongji would not be so kind, and he should have made trouble here.
But now......
Pei You shook his head: "It's hard to say. Xifan is not well-intentioned, and the Divine Palace has always acted treacherously, so we can only be careful to guard against it. ”
"It's a matter of course. However......" Xiao Lingjiang winked at him, "sometimes it's okay to take the initiative to lure the enemy." ”
Pei You raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and smiled helplessly: "What? You can't sit still and want to get out? ”
"I can't sit still. It's just that I've been in Liangzhou for many days, but I've been stuck in this Thorn History Mansion all day long, and I haven't gone out to take a good look at the customs of this Liangzhou. ”
Xiao Lingjiang looked outside and said, "It's a good day today, why don't you go out for a walk?" I can't say it, but I can really attract a small fish or two. ”
"You......" Pei You couldn't help laughing, "That is, you, knowing that you are being stared at, dare to go out and wander around." ”
Xiao Lingjiang leaned over slightly, picked up his chin and pretended to be lightly provocative: "Isn't this with Pei Dashizi on his side...... With you, why should I worry? ”
Pei You reached out and grabbed her fingertips and held her hand into the palm of his hand: "Auntie, you are really getting more and more naughty." ”
Xiao Lingjiang gently scratched his palm: "What's the matter, are you itchy?" ”
Is it itchy...... Naturally itchy......
Pei You glanced at Qingzhu and the others, who had retreated to the door and looked up at the sky, so he had to clear his throat and press down on his heart throbbing.
The two of them did not ride in the carriage and horses, but changed their simple clothes slightly, and left the Assassin's Mansion, and the secret guards were not far behind them.
Different from the elegance of Linchuan and the grandeur of Yingdu, the city of Liangzhou is simple and heavy.
The relationship between Xu is the Great Zhou and the Western Fan has eased recently, and the city of Liangzhou is much more lively than in the past, in addition to the street vendors and people who come and go, there are also many merchants from the Western Regions.
Xiao Lingjiang traveled all the way, but he was very happy to watch.
When it was nearly noon, the two went out of the main street and found a quiet teahouse to eat.
When Fang walked downstairs, he had to hear a commotion and screaming from behind.
Xiao Lingjiang's eyes shrank slightly, and he immediately turned to look. (End of chapter)
