Chapter 317: A Lifesaver
Shi Meng has been dancing with knives and sticks since he was a child, and he has studied all kinds of weapons, so he naturally saw at a glance that the war knife equipped by the other party is the standard war knife of Daqian.
This also means that this group of people is not a rogue at all, and their true identity must not be simple.
The county lord of Hailing did not hide it, and immediately told the whole thing.
When Shi Meng heard that it was the prince who sent someone to kill Princess Jianyang, he immediately clenched his fists, and his eyes were full of killing intent.
"I didn't expect the prince to do such a thing, is he still human? Princess, you too, isn't it good for you to marry Yu Hao in Wudu City? Why do you have to run out, the emperor must be in a hurry. ”
Hearing Shi Meng's words, Princess Jianyang also had a trace of bitterness on her face at this time.
I knew that something like this would happen, and she wouldn't sneak out if she said anything.
If Shi Meng hadn't arrived in time, not only would he have been tarnished and innocent before he died, but even the Lord of Hailing would have been affected by himself.
Seeing Princess Jianyang's red eyes, Shi Meng was also a little distressed, no matter what, she was her good sister, and now that she was wronged like this, Shi Meng couldn't bear to talk about her anymore.
"I have military affairs, I can't send the princess back to Wudu City, and I don't worry about sending someone else, so the princess will live with me first, as long as I am Shi Meng, I guarantee that no one can hurt you!"
The crown prince failed in this assassination, and he would definitely find a way to prevent Princess Jianyang from going back, so Shi Meng planned to leave Princess Jianyang for the time being, and then find a way to send Princess Jianyang back safely after a while.
Princess Jianyang nodded and said, "Then it's troublesome Mengmeng, but you must not tell my father about this, and you can't tell Yu Hao, after a while, when my father is angry, I will take the initiative to go back and confess to him." ”
Princess Jianyang naturally knew that Shi Mengyu would be treated as a master, so it was very likely that she would write to Yu Hao.
If Yu Hao knew about this, he would definitely tell the emperor, and the emperor would definitely send someone to pick her up at that time.
Princess Jianyang really couldn't imagine how angry the emperor would be when she knew that she had escaped, so she didn't have the courage to face it for a while.
Hearing this, Shi Meng was stunned, she was about to write a letter to Yu Hao and ask Yu Hao to pick up the princess, but she didn't expect the princess to predict what she thought in advance.
After hesitating for a moment, Shi Meng still nodded and said, "Okay, I won't tell Yu Hao for the time being, let's talk about it after a while!" Hailing, you should also go to my place first, if your father knows that you are back, the princess will be exposed. ”
The Lord of Hailing County has this intention, so naturally he has no opinion.
In this way, under the leadership of Shi Meng, the two headed towards the barracks......
On the other side, You Hu ran for five miles before stopping, looked around vigilantly, and sat under a big tree panting heavily.
As the saying goes, a good man doesn't suffer losses in front of him, and he can see from Shi Meng's skills that he can't beat Shi Meng, so he chose to run away at the first time.
It turned out that his choice was correct, otherwise he would have become a cold corpse like the other men in black at this time.
But the operation failed, and it was revealed that the main messenger behind the scenes was the prince, how should he explain to the prince when he went back?
Just as You Hu was in trouble, a Hai Dongqing landed on a branch next to him, and a small letter box was hanging on his feet.
You Hu's heart tightened, isn't this Hai Dongqing used by the prince to deliver messages? Is it to inquire about the results of the operation?
With apprehension, You Hu took the letter out of the letter and slowly opened it.
When he saw the content of the letter, You Hu suddenly looked happy, and his hanging heart finally relaxed.
In the prince's letter, he asked him to put down what he was doing, immediately go to the mines in Sichuan to mobilize people, and rush to Yujiaguan to intercept and kill a team of Jianguo Temple soldiers on the way from Yujiaguan to Wudu City, and rescue a woman named Changsun Yan.
This letter was like a lifesaver for You Hu, making You Hu almost cry with excitement.
Since the prince asked him to put down the matter in his hand, he would be able to tell the prince that he didn't have time to assassinate Princess Jianyang after he went back.
In addition, the other men in black are all dead, so that the prince will not know about the failure of the operation, and everything after that has nothing to do with him.
Thinking of this, You Hu was in a good mood, and he didn't stay anymore, and hurriedly ran towards the nearby town, planning to buy a horse in the town and rush to Chuanzhou.
……
Two days later, the Imperial Palace, the Imperial Study.
Zhu Song had already learned the news of the great victory of Jianmen Pass at this time, and he was so excited that he didn't sleep all night.
You must know that this battle not only wiped out the army of the Huns, but also attacked the lair of the Huns and broke the foundation of the Huns.
This also means that Daqian will no longer have to worry about the problems of the Xiongnu in the next few decades, and even whether the Xiongnu can reproduce smoothly has become a problem.
He naturally understood that the fact that Jianmen Pass was able to achieve such a huge result was basically due to Yu Hao, so the person he wanted to see most at this time was Yu Hao.
On the one hand, he wanted to reward Yu Hao, and on the other hand, he wanted to discuss with Yu Hao whether he could take advantage of the victory to pursue and completely destroy the Huns.
You must know that more than 100,000 war horses were captured at Jianmen Pass, and although these war horses were drugged by Zhu An and Lu Xiaoming, they all recovered their spirits after taking the antidote.
As long as the funds are sufficient, Daqian can build a cavalry team of 100,000 people in an instant, and it will no longer be a fool's dream to go to the grassland to conquer the Huns!
But there has been no news from Yu Hao since he left Yujiaguan, and no one knows where Yu Hao went, which made Zhu Song a headache.
At this moment, Feng Yulou walked into the imperial study with a sad face.
Zhu Song glanced up at Feng Yulou and asked, "Is there still no news from Yu Hao?" ”
Feng Yulou hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, there is still no news from the commander of the envoy, but there is news from the military department that the third prince has an army of 200,000 and escorts 50,000 Hun prisoners of war, which is only a hundred miles away from Wudu City. ”
The news of the victory of the front foot Jianmen Pass was transmitted back to Wudu City, and the back foot Zhu An arrived with an army of 200,000, which shows that after the battle, Zhu An did not have time to rest, so he pulled out.
What's more, escorting 50,000 prisoners of war, can you use 200,000 troops?
What is Zhu An's intention to bring so many soldiers back to Wudu City?
Zhu Song smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "Two hundred thousand troops? Which armies are involved? ”
"Back to Your Majesty, according to the intelligence of the Ministry of War, in addition to the 80,000 defenders of Jianmen Pass, there are 50,000 Eight Cadre Army, 50,000 Sanyang Army, and 20,000 Jianwei Cavalry." Feng Yulou said truthfully.
"Oh? The Jianwei cavalry is also here? Zhu Song frowned, a little surprised.
Feng Yulou nodded and continued: "That's right, but the main generals of the Eight Cadres Army and the Sanyang Army were left behind at Jianmen Pass, but the main general of the Jianwei cavalry, Dingguo General Lan Hu, and the three princes came together. ”
Hearing this, Zhu Song immediately smiled disdainfully, and said: "I didn't expect this battle to actually beat the blood of the third kid, since he wants to rebel and don't bring the Blue Tiger, how can he mobilize the Jianwei Army?" ”
When the word "rebellion" came out of Zhu Song's mouth, Feng Yulou hurriedly knelt on the ground in fright.
Although he also knew in his heart that this was the true purpose of the third prince, he was still shocked when Zhu Song said it himself.
At this moment, Zhu Song suddenly took out a volume of holy decrees and threw them in front of Feng Yulou: "Go, call Wang Zhong, the secretary of the military department, to go to the Jianwei army camp with the holy decree, and let Wang Zhong take over the Jianwei army first." ”
