Chapter 254: War in the North
The wind hunted, and the flags were blowing.
The king of Zhenbei led the army to be stationed in the canyon, which is a stronghold that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the king of Zhenbei listened to the strategy of the strategists, and deliberately chose here, waiting for the people from the old emperor's side to arrive a few days ago, it has lost the best position.
However, the people over there were also smart, knowing that the king of Zhenbei had a body of force, but in fact, he had a straw bag, which was very easy to be provoked, so he sent some people to come over and scold in front of the battle, trying to arouse the dissatisfaction of the king of Zhenbei and attract them to act first.
The king of Zhenbei really took the bait, and was about to take something to kill, but was stopped by the strategists below.
The counsellor advised him:
"The other party must have come here to find that the prince has occupied a favorable position, and he has to make this move, wanting to provoke the prince to end the situation, but I am not standing still at this time, I am just looking for an opportunity, and the people over there don't know anything about it, so we can take it by surprise and take everything from it."
The words not only named the situation, but also praised the king of Zhenbei, and the king of Zhenbei snorted coldly, and was persuaded after all.
However, the words were listened to, but the anger was not vented:
"Have you taken care of all the captives you captured before the battle?"
The captives were captured by the strategists, and he knew that the king of Zhenbei had a bad temper, and he was afraid that he would not be able to wait, so he arrested people one step ahead of time.
King Zhenbei wanted to cut these people now, so he turned around and sat down next to the chessboard.
There is an endgame on the chessboard, and Bai Zi seems to have the upper hand, but in fact he is at the end of his strong crossbow, and his strength is about to be exhausted.
The strategist holding the white chess piece pondered for a moment and carefully laid down a white piece, making the situation that was already inclined to the king of Zhenbei more and more obvious.
"According to your command, those who wish to surrender shall be brought back first, and those who will not be killed on the spot."
"Kill them all."
King Zhenbei said coldly, twisting a sunspot in his hand.
It is not a pity that the old immortal subordinate died, and he will attack the palace one day, and he will definitely cut the old immortal family alive.
King Zhenbei played with the chess pieces, a fierce color flashed in his eyes, and after a while, he suddenly played the chess pieces lightly.
The strategist on the opposite side trembled, this is another bad move.
Lingnan, the war in the north has not yet reached this point, so Ye Zhen went to the weaving workshop early in the morning and looked at the girls who were weaving.
"Mrs. Fu is here!"
Someone in the weaving workshop saw Ye Hao and shouted in surprise.
Ye Hao wanted not to disturb everyone first, and quietly looked at it for a moment or two, but who knew that this voice attracted everyone's attention, so she had to reluctantly accept everyone's enthusiasm.
After a few turns in the weaving workshop, it was almost noon, Ye Hao went back slowly, and when she arrived at the door of the room, she suddenly paused.
The door...... It was only lightly concealed, and there seemed to be a figure shaking inside.
Ye Hao's eyes flashed slightly, the eight winds on her face did not move, she stepped forward and pushed the door in, and closed it quickly.
The room was quiet, Ye Hao bypassed the screen, and sure enough, she saw Xie Yunshu and Lin Bin waiting behind.
Lin Bin looked like he had just arrived, and the clothes on his body hadn't changed yet, Ye Hao walked over with a smile and asked Lin Bin:
"When did you come back?" Are things going well?"
"After sending Xia Bohan to the Jiangnan Territory three days ago, I set off to rush back, and I just arrived here."
Lin Bin bowed slightly towards Ye Hao.
"Xia Bohan's side has been attacked repeatedly, I am worried that something will happen to them on the road, and I have to spend more time to deal with it, Xia Bohan originally wanted to invite me to Jiangnan, probably because of my relationship with you, it is difficult to speak."
Hearing the danger of this, Ye Hao asked worriedly:
"Didn't hurt, did you?"
"Nope."
Lin Bin shook his head and remembered one more thing:
"Speaking of which, when Xia Bohan and I fought the enemy together, we once shouted to each other's leaders, 'King Ruixian.'"
Xia Bohan has always known a lot about King Shangruixian, Ye Hao heard this, and immediately guessed that Xia Bohan was afraid that he had discovered something.
Ye Hao thought for a moment and asked:
"Xia Bohan can say how he recognized Rui
King Xian?"
"At first, it seems to have seen a round of rubbings of the waning moon."
Lin Bin thought about it carefully.
Xia Bohan did check the rubbings on those clothes that day, Lin Bin heard his voice from a distance at that time, and only felt a little strange, so he paid attention, and later saw Xia Bohan shouting his name, and asked him to chase him to the end, the change of attitude before and after, Lin Bin immediately tasted a different meaning.
The following events also confirmed this, Lin Bin organized his language and slowly said his inference.
"When I got to the back, Xia Bohan saw the other party's reaction when he heard King Ruixian, and it was estimated that it was determined at that time, and this assassination was really done by King Ruixian."
After listening, Xie Yunshu and Ye Hao exchanged a tacit look.
Xie Yunshu thought about what Ye Hao said before, which was not much different from what happened this time, and couldn't help but chuckle and said to her:
"King Ruixian, this old horseman, calculates and calculates, but in the end he is not as prescient as you."
Ye Hao heard his advice, but she didn't answer, just picked up the teacup and took a sip, completely looking like Shi Shiran was accepting the praise.
Xie Yunshu didn't expect her to be so free, she coughed in disguise, looked up and saw Ye Hao's lively expression, so he had to sigh helplessly, and he turned to face Lin Bin again.
"King Ruixian didn't succeed in killing people this time, and the Jiangnan region will definitely not support him in the future, which is a good thing for us."
"King Ruixian, this can be regarded as a loss to his wife and a soldier."
Ye Hao put down the teacup and commented:
"I guess he didn't expect that Xia Bohan would not only escape assassination, but also recognize his identity."
Xie Yunshu nodded, and continued with her words.
"Letting go of Xia Bohan is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain, King Ruixian's missed opportunity has helped us clear some difficulties, as long as we can convince King Cheng An with ideas, we should be able to successfully win over Xia Bohan."
Ye Hao sighed lightly.
The old emperor wanted to clean up a few vassal kings, but the trouble was not peaceful, and the war on the side of the king of Zhenbei did not know if it would affect Lingnan, and he was afraid that it would be another fierce battle at that time.
After Lin Bin finished talking to the two of them, he left first, leaving Xie Yunshu and Ye Hao in the room.
Ye Hao had just eaten, and she chatted with them for a while, and as soon as she relaxed at the moment, her sleepiness came up.
Xie Yunshu saw Ye Hao yawn and took the initiative to say to her:
"If you're sleepy, why don't you go and rest for a while?"
Ye Hao didn't force it, nodded and got up and walked inside.
Xie Yunshu looked at her sleepy squinting and shaking, and couldn't help but remind aloud:
"Be careful not to crash into the stool."
Ye Hao let out a "hmm", slowly walked around the stool, and threw herself on the bed.
Xie Yunshu's eyes fell on the stool on the ground, not knowing what he was thinking, and after a while, he slowly left the room.
Just when the two were discussing things with Lin Bin, Fu Cong'an, who was also in Lingnan, also received a letter.
The letter was sent by his little uncle, and Fu Cong'an was a little surprised when he received the letter, what could make his little uncle so anxious.
As soon as the belief was opened, his face changed instantly.
Since Xia Bodun received the news from his brother, he immediately broke off relations with King Ruixian according to what his brother said, and at the same time immediately wrote a letter, explaining all what happened to Xia Bohan, and pointed out that Fu Yun and Ye Hao sent people to help, and told Fu Cong'an to help and thank him.
The letter was quickly whipped and delivered to Fu Cong'an.
"How can it be! King Ruixian, this old horseman, is so vicious."
Before Fu Cong'an could finish reading the letter, he was so angry that he crumpled the letter into a ball on the spot and threw it to the ground.
"This old horseman really thinks that he is a thing, Xiao thinks that Jiangnan can't succeed, and he even dares to assassinate, if it is not for someone to help, I am afraid that this old horseman will really succeed!"
As soon as he thought of the danger mentioned in the letter, the coldness in Fu Cong'an's eyes deepened.
The people next to him didn't dare to come forward to persuade him, Fu
After a moment of silence in the silence, Fuji calmed down, leaned over to pick up the letter, and sat back behind his desk.
After reading the second half of the letter with a calm face, when he saw that "Fu Yun and Ye Hao sent a chivalrous warrior to help, fortunately escaped smoothly", Fu Cong'an relieved his heart, got up and called someone over.
"Prepare some gifts, I'll go find Xie ...... Fu Yun and Ye Hao thanked each other."
Fu Cong'an commanded.
Ye Hao had just woken up from a nap when she heard that someone had come to thank her.
"Who?"
Ye Hao was still a little confused, and she didn't react for a while, until she arrived in the hall and saw Fu Cong'an, and then she suddenly came to her senses.
"It turned out to be Fu Gongzi."
Fu Cong Anben looked down at the teacup, and when he heard the words, he looked up at Ye Hao:
"Take the liberty of bothering, and I hope Madame won't blame you."
"Don't bother, I'm fine in the afternoon, but your face doesn't seem to be good."
Ye Hao saw at a glance that Fu Cong'an's expression was depressed, and she had a number in her heart.
I'm afraid that Xia Bohan came with news and informed Fu Cong'an of King Ruixian's attack.
"Just received a letter from my uncle."
Fu Cong'an didn't twist it, and directly told Ye Hao about the letter and other things.
Ye Hao listened carefully and found that the news from Xia Bohan's side was indeed the same as what Lin Bin said.
"By the way, I heard that the two of you sent someone to help, and my uncle specially told me to come and thank the two of you."
Fu Cong'an took out a box from behind him and handed it to Ye Hao.
"I've prepared some small gifts, and I hope Madame won't refuse."
Ye Hao was stunned for a moment, thinking that this person was quite polite.
Fu Cong'an saw that Ye Hao didn't move, and explained:
"It's not anything valuable, just a few corals and some pearls, which someone brought back when they went to the South China Sea before."
The corals and pearls of the South China Sea are all good things with a price, and Fu Cong'an's shot is these things, and he said that it is not valuable.
Ye Hao couldn't cry or laugh, shook her head and said:
"I regard Fu Gongzi as a friend, and it is right for friends to help each other, and I must never accept this gift."
The meaning of this is somewhat like saying that if you give a gift, you are not a friend.
Fu Cong'an is not a fool, he understood what Ye Hao meant, and couldn't help but feel that Ye Hao and Fu Yun were really affectionate.
At the moment, he was no longer reluctant, put away the gift, and thanked him sincerely.
"By the way, has Madame heard about the north?"
Fu Cong'an suddenly remembered what was mentioned at the end of the letter.
Ye Hao nodded.
"I heard that the King of Zhenbei and the old emperor sent people against each other, and the two soldiers are opposed, and I don't know when the war will start."
"It depends on which side can't hold its breath first."
Fu Cong'an said coldly:
"The old emperor is dizzy, but after all, he is in power, and the king of Zhenbei is not a soft persimmon, and it is not clear who will lose and who will win on these two sides."
"yes."
Ye Hao sighed.
"But in the end, it is the people who suffer in this war."
When Ye Hao was in modern times, he remembered a sentence of the ancients: prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer.
In the final analysis, as soon as these princes and generals fight, they disregard the lives of the common people, swords and guns do not have long eyes, and some people who are hungry for profit do not have long eyes, and the people are just chess pieces in their hands, which can be used when needed, and can be thrown away when they are not needed.
"Who's to say it's not, I'm afraid it's been a while since I've had a peaceful birthday in the north."
Fu Cong'an also sighed.
At this point, Ye Hao suddenly remembered something:
"Speaking of which, if there is chaos in the north, will it affect the sugar business?"
Fu Cong'an and Ye Hao cooperated to buy and sell sugar, and it was up to Fu Cong'an to transport it to Jiangnan, if the rebellion in the north spread, I was afraid that there would be displaced people on the road, and Ye Hao's worries were not superfluous.
