Chapter 52: Who Fights
Su Muwan was worried about Shangguan Yu's safety, and even prayed secretly for him, but she didn't know that there were people in the palace who only hoped that Shangguan Yu would die on the battlefield.
In the morning glow hall.
"Niangniang, the eldest prince has arrived."
Mama Gui respectfully announced behind the crystal curtain.
Behind the curtain, the precious concubine is half-nestled on the beauty couch to close her eyes and recuperate, next to the palace maid is waving a feather fan woven from flamingo feathers to gently fan her, the incense burner not far from the house is also burning a small piece of precious spices worth a thousand gold, at this time the smoke rises, and the house is a refreshing fragrance.
Hearing Mama Gui say this, she immediately opened her eyes, a pair of watery eyes were shining, but she had a bit of a girlish posture.
"The emperor is here, hurry up and invite him in."
The precious concubine hurriedly got up, opened the crystal curtain, and saw Shangguan Qian walking in from outside the hall.
"My son's son greets my mother."
Shangguan Qian came in and first greeted the precious concubine, his appearance is very different from the two brothers of Shangguan Yu and Shangguan Chen, compared to the emperor and Shangguan Cha, it is more like a precious concubine, especially the eyes, which are carved out of a mold.
It's just that Shangguan Qian always puts on a humble gentleman on weekdays, and his gentle and elegant appearance makes people always pay more attention to his gentle and elegant bearing, but it makes people ignore his appearance.
The precious concubine hurriedly asked Shangguan Qian to sit down, and asked the palace maids waiting in the hall to retreat first, leaving only Shangguan Qian, Mama Gui and her in the entire hall. Mama Gui is her confidant, and she generally does not shy away from discussing things.
"How's it going, Emperor, what have you found?" The precious concubine hurriedly spoke.
"Mother, the spy I sent to Yumen Pass sent a message back, saying that several generals admired Shangguan Yu very much, and this victory was a big one." Shangguan Qian replied with a frown.
"If he wins this battle, the generals at the border will probably start to support him in the future, although the generals are not as important as the ministers in the court, but the emperor will also care. And the most important thing is the people's heart, if this battle is won, he will have a lot more support in the people's heart than you. β
The precious concubine is very jealous of Shangguan Yu, afraid that after he wins, the voice will rise, since ancient times, the common people have a sincere trust in the generals who win the battle.
And more importantly, the old general Shen Guang, he has always acted in a disorderly manner, and he has not openly expressed his support for any prince until now, most of the generals stationed in Yumen Pass are his subordinates, if they express their appreciation for Shangguan Yu, then is this what Shen Guang means?
That Shen Guang is the vane of the generals, and his protΓ©gΓ©s and cronies abound among the generals in Beijing, if he openly stands in line with Shangguan Yu, then most of the generals in the court will basically stand in line with Shangguan Yu, this situation is not what he wants to see.
"Emperor, you say, Shangguan Yu also wants to fight for the throne? Or does the emperor want him to sit in this position? β
The more the precious concubine thought about it, the more she felt right, and she wanted to hear her son's opinion.
Shangguan Qian's originally gentle aura disappeared at this time, and after throwing away that hypocritical mask, his eyes were now full of desire for power.
"Shangguan Yu shouldn't have this thought, we have sent people to test him many times before, but he was indifferent, how could he suddenly have the intention of fighting?"
He and the precious concubine have done something to Shangguan Yu many times, and they have also sent someone to give Shangguan Yu a kind of flattering medicine called "three-petal plum" before, intending to ruin Shangguan Yu's reputation and make the emperor doubt his character, but in the end it was unsuccessful, but Shangguan Yu did not suspect it.
In this silent struggle, Shangguan Qian has always felt that he occupies the time, place, and people, and is destined to ascend the throne.
The precious concubine gave birth to him at the same time as the queen gave birth to Shangguan Ling, so although Shangguan Ling was a son-in-law, he did not occupy the "long".
Moreover, Shangguan Ling is indecisive and has no opinions, many ministers in the court feel that he is not the emperor's material, and now only the queen's father, the ministers of Zhou Taishi's faction, is not as strong as the support behind him.
There are also Shangguan Yu and Shangguan Chen, their mother concubine was originally the emperor's favorite woman, and once made the precious concubine very jealous, but now she has passed away, it is not helpful to the two brothers, the two of them are alone, although they are loved by the emperor, but there is no support from the ministers behind them, and it is not a problem.
The only variable is that this time the father directly appointed Shangguan Yu to go on behalf of Liang Zheng, could it be that it is really like what my mother said, it is my father who wants to push Shangguan Yu to that position? It's even worse.
Shangguan Qian thought to himself, his face kept changing, and after thinking about it a few times, he became more and more uneasy about Shangguan Yu.
"Anyway, whether he has a mind or not, we can't sit back any longer, if he wins, find a way to let him stay in Yumen Pass forever."
The precious concubine had a grim smile on her face, and there was some viciousness in her voice, she looked like she was afraid that the emperor was coming, and she couldn't believe that her always gentle concubine would laugh so insidiously.
The palace maid outside the hall heard her laughter and suddenly felt a chill on her body.
Shangguan Qian picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, also with a meaningful face.
Shangguan Yu can't stay!
I heard that his princess also went to the border to find him, but she has a deep affection for Shangguan Yu, how can she break up this pair of mandarin ducks as a brother, then die with Shangguan Yu!
Shangguan Qian left the Chaoxia Hall after drinking tea, returned to his palace, and immediately found someone to send a message to Yang Liuguan's spies with carrier pigeons, and there were only a few symbols written in secret orders on a small piece of paper.
If anyone can understand the symbols, they are just a sentence:
If you win, except for Shangguan Yu and his wife!
Thousands of miles away at the Jade Gate.
Lan Yu, who accompanied Shangguan Yu to the border gate, heard that the princess of his family had actually come to find the prince, so he hurriedly came over to make arrangements. If you neglect this one, the master will come back, and it will be strange if he does not punish him.
After Lan Yu saluted Su Muwan, seeing that she looked haggard and sickly, she offered to let the princess go to rest first, and then inform her when the princess returned from the battle.
He also told him that it was normal for a battle to last for half a day and that it would not end early.
Su Muwan was originally concerned about Shangguan Yu's safety, and she didn't have the heart to rest at all, but after thinking about it, she was running around for days, and she couldn't let Shangguan Yu see such a grizzled appearance, so she nodded in agreement.
Lan Yu placed Su Muwan in the military tent where his master lived in the past few days, and borrowed a little maid from the military families of the generals stationed here for Su Muwan's mission.
After arranging Su Muwan properly, Lan Yu called the two brothers Mo Yan and Mo Yu to find out why the princess suddenly came to the prince, lest it be bad news.
The two brothers didn't know anything about this, they were just suddenly ordered by Shangguan Chen to escort the princess to find the master, where did they know the reason. only told Lan Yu about Su Muwan's situation all the way, including that although she was sick, she still insisted on rushing because she was worried about Shangguan Yu, and she didn't even cry out bitterly along the way, which is simply not something that ordinary women in boudoir can do.
Hearing the two brothers say this, Lan Yu's heart relaxed, looking at the situation, it shouldn't be a bad thing, but the feelings of the prince and princess are one step closer.
He has always been with Shangguan Yu, and he naturally understands Shangguan Yu's heart, the princess has always been cold and indifferent to the prince, and pushed him out, but this time, since he can chase him thousands of miles, it is estimated that the prince's heart will be solved soon.
Lan Yu was overjoyed when he saw that his master's troubles were about to be solved, as for worrying about Shangguan Yu? Lan Yu was not worried at all, he knew his master's ability.
If even Shangguan Yu can't win this battle, then I'm afraid there will be no one in this world who can win.
on the battlefield.
Shangguan Yu held the long sword in his hand, and while moving forward, he swung the sword in his hand towards the enemy, he took the lead, and the whole person was like a sword that went straight to the throat of the enemy.
As soon as the edge comes out, who competes!
Rong Lian was not to be outdone with a red tasseled spear, followed closely behind Shangguan Yu, and as soon as the spear was raised, he poked the enemy's throat, and with another pick, he threw the person directly from the horse to the ground, and immediately had no life.
One of the two attracts firepower in the front, and the other sweeps the rear in the rear, and they cooperate very tacitly.
For a while, the Huns became more and more frightened and did not dare to fight, but the morale of the Dazhou side was high.
"Da Shuai, those two are the generals who replaced Liang Zheng with Da Guan, the one who holds the sword is the son of the emperor of the Da Xuan Dynasty, named Shangguan Yu, and the one with the gun is called Rong Lian, a son of the Rongguo family."
On the side of the Hun soldiers, a man in big clothes was saying to the people around him with a flattering face, and the person around him was the eldest son of the King of the Huns, Khan Qing.
Khan Qing's biological mother was the first wife of the Xiongnu king Mao Dun, her father was a famous tribal leader of the Xiongnu, in order to gain her father's support, Mao Dun married her, but he had no feelings for Han Qing's biological mother.
Later, Mao Dun inadvertently got a big woman who was given to him by others, and he was very pampered, and the woman also gave birth to a second son, Bahu.
Compared with Khan Qing, Mao Dun of course prefers Ba Hu, who is born to his beloved woman, and even has some preference for his name.
"Khan Qing" means eagle-like man in the Xiongnu language, but "Bahu" means sun.
The Xiongnu believed in the sun, and even the flag was a sun pattern, Mao Dun gave his youngest son this name, Han Qing had to think more, his father was afraid that he wanted Ba Hu to take over Shan Yu, and Shan Yu was the emperor of the Xiongnu country.
How could Khan Qing be willing? He, the prairie eagle, will definitely peck out the eyes of the sun and tell him that the king of the prairie can only be himself.
So Khan Qing asked Mao Dun to fight several times, wanting to prove himself to him, but Mao Dun didn't agree. This time, it was Han Qing's grandfather who helped him speak, and Mao Dun agreed to let Han Qing be the leader of the army to defeat the first gate of Dazhou, Yumen Pass.
The people around him are the ones he spent a lot of money to dig from Yumen Pass, and there is a saying in Daguan: "Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles", Han Qing thought it was so, so he felt that it was very important to find out the details of the opponent.
At this time, seeing that Shangguan Yu Ronglian and the others were extraordinary, many Hun cavalry did not dare to directly meet them, but they were afraid to show many flaws, and the Hun troops were out of disadvantage for a while.
Han Qing shouted, "Bring my weapon!" β
He took a huge knife in his hand, mounted his horse, and decided to meet the two men in person.
