Chapter 398: Apprenticeship
Wu Chan, the exquisite queen who is thousands of miles away, actually secretly gave birth to a little princess to Ying Zheng, which really gave him a great surprise.
Although there are already a group of children in Xianyang Palace, it is not uncommon to stay by his side, and it is far less rare than this bloodline that is far away from another race.
Yingzheng was cold, but he held his daughter and refused to let go, but Wu Chan on the side said distressedly: "Look at you, you are anxious, there will be time to hug her in the future, hurry up and warm up, we still have something to talk about." ”
Ying Zheng thought about it, so he reluctantly handed the child to the maid.
"Your Majesty, how is the military situation ahead?" Wu Chan asked, "After receiving Uncle Thumb, he said that your side is being pursued by the Yue Clan's army, and you have arrived in Loulan, I am worried about what will happen to you, so I will bring the army to meet you." ”
"It's a bit of a thrill, but it's turned around now."
Immediately afterwards, Ying Zheng talked about the battle situation in the past few days.
"The Huns also came to help?" After listening to his story, Wu Chan put his hanging heart into his stomach, "Your popularity is really good, and troops are sent everywhere to help you break the siege." ”
Ying Zheng smiled: "If you want to say that Xiqiang sent troops, it is not unusual at all, after all, Jiayuguan is the co-governance of our two countries, although this Loulan is not strong, but in order to prevent the Silk Road from being robbed, it is natural for them to send troops." ”
"What I didn't expect was that the Huns also came to help, and it was the whole clan. However, most of the Mandan Yu also took a fancy to the Yue's territory, and wanted to eradicate the future troubles once and for all. ”
Wu Chan said: "No one's soldiers are as reliable as our own ones, now I have an army of 100,000, what to do next, you can give the order." ”
The elite 100,000 elites, this is definitely their own strength, the Yue clan is already at a disadvantage, and Yingzheng is even more powerful at this time.
"I'm waiting for the news ahead." Ying Zheng said, "At present, the Xiongnu army has directly attacked the palace of the Yue Clan, and the King of Xiqiang with Meng Tian and King Zuo Xian is pursuing the King of Guishan, we need to know where they are fighting and where the King of Guishan has fled to before we can make the next move." ”
"Could it be that you really want to destroy the Yue Clan?" Uzen asked.
"He did it himself." Ying Zheng said, "Besides, it's not us who destroy them, but the Huns, and we're just fighting." ”
Wu Chan said: "The countries of the Western Regions have been standing side by side for many years, even if the national strength is weak, it has not been annexed, and now it is as strong as the Yue Clan, but it is unimaginable that it will be swallowed up." ”
Ying Zheng smiled: "Why are you still sentimental, since ancient times, the law of the law of the jungle has always been followed between countries, if you don't provoke others, it doesn't mean that others don't covet your land." ”
"That's what I said." Wu Chan said, "What I'm worried about is that if the Yue Clan destroys the country this time, and our refinement is relocated to Great Qin, it is estimated that the entire Western Regions will fall into chaos." ”
Indeed, once the elite, who has always been known for trade, migrates, the trade structure of the entire Western Regions will undergo great changes, and if you can't buy what you want to buy in the future, you may have to grab it.
Ying Zheng said: "If the Elite City is vacant, we can't let it sit idle, in terms of commerce and trade, we really have to find someone to take over." What do you think of King Loulan? ”
"King Loulan?" The Absolute Queen thought for a moment, "The city is empty, it doesn't matter who you give it to, you decide, your king." ”
"Well, I'll test him again."
The two talked and chatted, from political affairs to private affairs, from the present to the past, from day to night, and it seemed that there were endless words to confide in each other.
The sunset had just faded, and there was finally news about the military situation ahead.
The horse scouts sent by Meng Tian reported that they had exchanged hands with the army of the King of Guishan, and the King of Guishan refused to fight, leaving only half of his men and horses to resist, but he also fought and retreated, intending to delay time.
In the first battle, both sides were damaged, and then their troops divided into two ways to pursue, Meng Tian and Xiqiang Wang led the way, and Zuo Xian Wang went alone.
Ying Zheng asked the horse to go back and give an order, so that Meng Tian could continue to keep the pursuit and be sure to ensure the safety of King Xiqiang.
Immediately, the couple quickly came to the palace of Loulan Wang, and after a greeting between Wuchan and King Loulan, the two exchanged military information with King Loulan.
It turned out that the second elder of Loulan also came with the news, he took the lead in fighting with the Yue's army, Meng Tian and the king of Xiqiang they responded, and the Yue's retreat, and Loulan's horse sent back the news, the Xiongnu Dadan Yu had already taken the old nest of the king of Guishan, and the young lord of the Yue's family fled west with the harem and courtiers.
Come to think of it, the reason why King Guishan refused to fight was because he received the news that his palace had been attacked.
This is great news and a great opportunity!
King Loulan said: "Now that the defeat of the Yue Clan has been decided, this king wants to fight with the two of them in person to completely drive the Yue Clan out of the grassland!" ”
Ying Zheng smiled: "Why, seeing that you are going to win, you dare to go out for a walk?" ”
"Where." King Loulan said with a little embarrassment, "I'm afraid that they will resurrect in the future, besides, this aftermath can't be decided by the Huns alone, there are some things I want to talk to Touman." ”
If the Yueshi was monopolized by the Xiongnu, then the territory of the Xiongnu would expand by a few points, and the entire Western Regions would directly border the Xiongnu.
"How many men and horses are there in your army to the north?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Sixty thousand." King Loulan said, "Right now, we are stationed on the border of Wusun Country, and if the Yue Clan flees west, they will definitely enter the border of Wusun." ”
Wu Chan said: "I heard that your Loulan has never been very friendly with Wusun, so I can take the opportunity to teach them a lesson this time." ”
"Okay." King Loulan said, "Then let's leave tomorrow morning." ”
After settling on the strategy, the couple returned to the elite camp.
Thumb still had something to say, but he knew that the little couple hadn't seen each other for a long time, and it must have been a fire that had lit the dry wood, so he didn't bother much.
Early the next morning, the elite army marched in the direction of Wusun.
At this time, the King of Guishan had already learned the news of the attack on the palace, and he was exhausted.
His only thought now is to quickly find his harem and the crown prince, and then discuss the next step.
In the current situation, he didn't dare to think that he could still recover the lost territory, so he could only lead the army to Wusun to wait for the comeback.
After fighting with the Loulan army and the Xiqiang army, the Yue's army lost tens of thousands of people, and it saw that it was on the border of Wusun, so there shouldn't be much of a loss.
But I didn't want to return at this time, and I found a large number of Hun troops in front, and I should have chased the harem all the way to get here.
The King of Kushan was so angry that he almost fell off his horse.
"Head... Long...!! He said grimly, "You are so deceitful!" ”
The second elder next to him also said indignantly: "King, we have nowhere to retreat, so it's better to fight with them." ”
The fifth elder said: "That is, if we win, we will regain the lost territory, and if we lose, we can also buy time for the young master." ”
King Guishan's eyes were empty, he was much older than before the expedition, and after weighing it, he said slowly: "Pass my order, the whole army will be reorganized, and fight to the death with the Huns!" ”
——————
The Western Regions are in full swing, but Xianyang City is peaceful.
Today, Yan Dan, the prince of Yan State, chartered a restaurant to entertain the magnates in Xianyang City, including members of the royal family, high-ranking officials in the temple and various magnates, including the princes of the countries in the Qin State.
Those who came to the scene today can be said to be either rich or noble, they are all characters with some heads and faces, and the most respected ones are the two princesses of King Qin.
Princess Minruo is the princess of Yan Kingdom, and she is also Yan Dan's sister-in-law, her brother first came to Xianyang, and set up a banquet to entertain the magnates of the national capital, how could she not support the scene? But if she came by herself, it was really boring, so she listened to Yan Dan's suggestion and invited Princess Nansu to come with her.
Nan Su didn't like to be lively, but when she heard Min Ruo say that Yan Dan had a peerless pianist by her side, she was interested, and followed Min Ruo to the restaurant with curiosity.
Zhao Gao knew that the two masters were going out of the palace, so he prepared a car and drove the carriage to the restaurant in person.
When all the magnates saw the two princesses coming, they all rushed forward to greet each other for a while.
The princess, who had lived in the deep palace for a long time, was not very familiar with these powerful people, so the two had to deal with it with a smile, and Zhao Gao answered them one by one.
After taking a seat, Yan Dan bowed to the four seats, and said, "In Xia Yan Dan, thank you for coming." This time, I was ordered by my father to come to Daqin to negotiate the covenant, but when I first came to Xianyang, I hope you will take care of me, and I hope that you will become close friends in the future, and I hope that you will not give up. ”
In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that this time the King of Qin wanted to attack the Zhao State, and the Yan State was afraid of causing a fire, so he sent Yan Dan to the Qin State as a proton, but he said that he was here to negotiate the covenant, which was nothing more than to raise the image of the Yan State and his own worth.
However, there will be no one who does not give face, because after all, he is the crown prince of Yan Kingdom and the future monarch of Yan Kingdom.
No matter what the relationship between Yan Guo and Great Qin is in the future, who can take the initiative to offend a future king?
Therefore, all the magnates have given enough face, and most of them say flattering words.
Accompanied by the envoys, Yan Dan greeted everyone in front of him one by one, and those who had not visited him before were also familiar with each other.
After returning to the main seat, Yan Dan spoke again: "Yan is fortunate to be able to get to know you today, although I have prepared some thin wine and vegetarian dishes, but before the banquet, I still have a friend who wants to introduce to you." ”
"I think you have all heard of it, my Yan Kingdom has produced a peerless pianist in recent years, his name is Gao Yanli, today I brought him to Daqin, I just want to present a song for you to show respect."
The big name of Gao gradually leaving, it has been really loud in recent years, especially these powerful people who like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting on weekdays, it is really a blessing to be able to hear the music of the world's famous artists with their own ears.
Nan Su's eyes lit up, and he saw an elegant and generous middle-aged man holding a guqin in his arms and appeared in front of everyone.
I saw him sit down, elegantly adjust the strings, and slowly play under the gaze of everyone.
Among the powerful people here, there are those who are happy and martial, but there is really no music and rhythm attainment, most of them are just to watch a lively, after all, others say that it is a famous person, so hold it and nag.
But Nansu is different, she has studied music and rhythm since she was a child, how can she not distinguish the level of attainment that Gao gradually departing from?
The melodious melody is like a wisp of clear spring into the throat, quenching thirst and sweetness, and the beautiful notes make people unconsciously swing with it, inducing the dancing talent in the body.
While listening, Nansu couldn't help but secretly admire the different processing methods and performance details with herself.
One song is followed by another, but in a very different style.
Before, it was a sweet spring, but now it is a bottle of alcohol.
Before the banquet began, everyone present felt like they were in the mood, and their emotions were unconsciously aroused.
After the alcohol, it is a light of tea, which cleanses the boredom and sorrow in the heart, and dissolves the wine smell and refreshes the spleen.
Three different tunes, but they play with a variety of flavors.
Just when everyone was still unsatisfied, they saw Nan Su respectfully come to Gao Yanli and said gently: "The little girl Nan Su has studied music since she was a child, and it is really eye-opening to see Mr. play music today." ”
"Mr.'s attainments are so high, it's really rare in the world, I don't know if the little girl can be lucky, worship Mr. as a teacher, learn one or two from Mr., in order to comfort her life?"
Gao gradually returned the salute and said: "It's not talented, it's just that I usually fiddle with it, if the princess is interested, let's learn from each other, don't mention anything like apprenticeship." ”
