Chapter 649: A Few Joys and a Few Sorrows
In Crouching Tiger City and Taifu's Mansion, the pot has not sounded and the scoop has not moved for three consecutive days.
In this most mysterious mansion in the whole world, there has never been a lack of laughter and laughter in the past, and there has never been a lack of smiles and confidence on the faces of people of all ages. It's a pity that since the news that I don't know whether it is true or false came back from the direction of Xiliang, hundreds of people of all sizes in the mansion seem to have their souls drained, and they have become blank and trance one by one.
Mrs. Li of Taifu Mansion heard that her son was under siege, and now her life and death are uncertain, so she fainted on the spot, and now she is sick in bed, and she is treated by the divine doctor Hua Tuo.
Zhang Xin, the fourth lady, who was organizing a women's association in Jinyang, heard that her husband was trapped and her friend Cai Yan was taken captive, so she left the venue with red eyes and rushed to Crouching Tiger City without looking back.
Myolie Wu, the second lady who has never liked to show off in front of people, went directly to Xu Huang's mansion and declared that she needed a thousand cavalry, and she would immediately go to Dunhuang to find her husband.
Because of their age, the children of Zhao Xing, who had not yet had time to follow their elder brother's family, rushed onto the street one by one waving their little fists, shouting the slogan of "blood debt and blood repayment, vow to repay the Western Regions", shouting from morning to night......
As bleak as the Taifu Mansion, there are many people.
Cai Yong, a scholar and scholar of Taihang Academy, who was already close to the age of sixteen, heard that his beloved daughter was taken away by the Hu people, and he didn't think about tea and dinner for several days, muttering to himself, as if he was sleepwalking. Because he was worried that the old gentleman was overthinking and hurt his vitality, Crouching Tiger Medical Institute urgently sent another medical saint, Zhang Ji, to take care of Cai Yong.
When Dingxiang Taishou Zhang Ji first heard that his son Zhang Xiu had died in battle, he not only burst into tears, but he couldn't get sick ever since, and he couldn't even ask about political affairs.
Ma Yunluo, who was pregnant and waiting to give birth in Zhao Yunfu's house, heard that his brother Ma Chao and several younger brothers were now unknown in life and death, and they were separated, almost causing a blood collapse and ruining the life of the fetus in the womb.
The residents who were able to settle in Crouching Tiger City for a long time were all ordinary people who shared the same fate with Zhao Xing or the family members of the civil and military retinues, and when they learned the bad news, they could only endure the grief in their hearts and hurriedly came to send the most helpless comfort and encouragement to the most sad and comforted residents.
All shops, schools, and public venues in Crouching Tiger City were closed for seven days, allowing grieving people to gather their emotions and prepare for the aftermath......
The bright moon bends to shine on Kyushu, and a few families are happy and a few are sad.
When the business travelers who came to Crouching Tiger City to buy and play passed back to their respective states and counties, except for the people within Zhao Xing's actual control, they were a little heartfelt, saying that in addition to worry and sadness, there were people in other states who actually lit fireworks and firecrackers to celebrate.
Yuan Shu had just lost Zhang Xun and Ji Ling, and it was when he was depressed in his heart, after hearing this amazing news, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh wildly, shouting: "God has eyes! God has eyes......
Cao Heizi's city mansion is relatively deep, and now the beloved general Xiahou Yuan is still in Zhao Yun's hands, so he didn't express too much schadenfreude, but wondered in his heart whether Zhao Xing was playing some big conspiracy this time. However, Lao Cao felt that if he dared to make such a big joke as claiming that he was defeated, even if he was deceived by Zhao Xing, he would be absolutely convinced.
The current situation of the Jin Kingdom is like a steamed bun in a cage drawer, and the news of the defeat of the Western Expedition and the trapping of Zhao Xing is like a huge basin of ice water. If Zhao Xing dares to pour firewood with cold water, it is tantamount to playing the trick of wielding a knife from the palace.
After hearing the news of the defeat of the Western Expeditionary Army, he was a little stunned and said to himself: "How could it be defeated? If something happened to Zhao Xing, wouldn't Zhao Zhenbang have to take the throne?
After Gongsun Du, who was entrenched in Liaodong, learned about this incident, he unabashedly ordered someone to put a few large firecrackers in the mansion that he bought from the Jin Kingdom, and his heart was sweeter than eating honey.
Gongsun Du just received news that Goguryeo had rebelled and brazenly sent 50,000 troops to attack Xuansu County, and I don't know if someone had copied the ancestral tomb of the lord. The Karasuma people in the west took the opportunity to make even more excessive conditions, and even demanded that Gongsun Du send his second son, Gongsun Gong, as a proton, so that a ceasefire agreement could be reached between the two sides.
If it weren't for the jealousy of the strong guy in the east and west of Liao, with Gongsun Du's temper, he would have started his work left and right as a left, and at the same time started working with Goguryeo and Karasuma people. Now that Zhao Xing is trapped, the Jin Kingdom has shrunk its forces across the board, which just gives Gongsun Du a great opportunity, can he not be happy?
As for Liu Yan in Yuzhou, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and Sima Fang in Yizhou, their letters naturally also secretly shouted a few good words. Several of them have been suppressed by Zhao Xing for a long time, and none of them have some grievances, but now when they hear Zhao Xing fall down, they will worry about Zhao Xing, unless their brains are pumping.
The person who reacted the most indifferently to the whole thing was Zhuge Liang in Luoyang. He repeatedly weighed in his heart whether Zhao Xing was really upside down or "playing fake falls" this time, but judging from the analysis of the news that kept coming back, Zhao Xing really didn't look like he was putting himself on his own. Intuition told Zhuge Liang that the truth of this matter would be shockingly weird, but the facts told Zhuge Liang that no matter how crazy Zhao Xing was, he would not even deceive his own wife, and he could not care about the blow to the morale of hundreds of thousands of troops, and he could rest assured that his generals secretly listened to his command, and he could turn a westward expedition that had been hard to prepare for several years and cost tens of millions of taels of silver into child's play!
Zhao Xing really dares to do it, he is the second king of Zhou You. The princes of the Beacon Fire Opera, in the end, they have to fill in with their own net worth and life!
Liu Bei, who is not as meticulous as Zhuge Liang, seems to have drunk too much chicken blood in the past few days, jumping up and down and showing great activity. The urgent shrinkage of the Jin State's forces on the Eastern Front is not an illusion, it is really giving up a large area of territory, and how to divide these effortless territories is the problem that Liu Bei is most concerned about.
Zhang Fei, who suffered a major setback in his life by the Fenshui River, has come out of the blow of the day after a period of transition. When he received a report that the Xiongwu Army and the Montenegrin Army facing each other on the opposite battlefield were suddenly missing, he felt that the time had come to do something on his own.
Since the end of the Battle of Zhao, the father and son of Huangfu Song, who had been playing turtle breath in the Sanfu area (Zuo Feng Yi, Right Fufeng, Jing Zhaoyin), suddenly woke up in the spring, and they have been waiting for an opportunity all these years to blood the shame of several princes being plundered.
The two princes who have surfaced and have been crowned kings are now under the control of Zhao Xing, which is enough to show that there was no Zhao Xing among the forces that robbed the prince at the beginning.
The whole Jin Kingdom was busy trying to find a way to rescue Zhao Xing, but the other forces found a huge opportunity from this accident, so everything became confusing again in the originally calm Han Dynasty.
