Chapter 244: Huo Jinzhong, who was beaten by Huo Cheng, fled in the wilderness
She naturally wanted to show off in front of Shen Ning and Xiao Junhe.
At the beginning, Xiao Junhe ignored her, but today, how long can Qin Guo last, she Huo Sinian is a high-ranking woman, but unfortunately Xiao Junhe doesn't cherish it.
And Shen Ning, what about the princess of Zhao State, marrying into the Qin State, she will watch the Qin State being eaten up little by little.
In today's Qin State, there are not many available people around the emperor, there are no generals, and his brother Huo Cheng is no longer there, who can help him?
"Report! Empress! Empress...... Letter from the border gate. ”
Huo Sinian sat up straight and looked at the people who came proudly. "But you took Jiayuguan?"
"No...... No. "The messenger fell to his knees in panic." Niangniang, the border pass came to report, saying that Jiayuguan, the people of Jiayuguan attacked our military camp, burned the grain and grass, and General Huo Jinzhong was beaten in Xilongpo and fled...... The 30,000 elites under his command only came back...... 10,000 people, countless dead and wounded and surrendered. ”
Huo Sinian's face sank instantly, and he stood up suddenly. "What did you say?"
She looked at each other in disbelief, her voice hoarse. "Say it again!"
"Hey, what made the queen so angry?" Outside the courtyard, it was Hengyuan's voice.
She was dressed in a graceful and luxurious dress, and walked in with the support of the maidservant, obviously to see Huo Sinian's jokes. "Queen Mother, I heard that your brave and warlike father is very familiar with the terrain of Jiayuguan, may I ask if he has taken Jiayuguan?"
Huo Sinian's face darkened, but the queen's upbringing made her swallow this breath temporarily. "The concubine still doesn't worry about the border matters, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers."
"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, so have you heard of who is the general who defeated your father Huo Jinzhong Qin?" Heng Yuan covered his mouth with a smile and glanced at the messenger. "You haven't told us yet, the queen mother, the general of the Qin State who defends the city, is Huo Cheng."
Huo Sinian's body stiffened and took a step back in horror.
Who did she say?
Caiyun hurriedly helped Huo Sinian, also frightened. "Who?"
The messenger bowed his head and spoke tremblingly. "Yes...... It's Huo Cheng. ”
Huo Sinian's face was pale and bloodless, and he almost couldn't stand steadily.
"Mother's ......"
Caiyun was obviously frightened, and hurriedly helped Huo Sinian to sit down.
Heng Yuan sneered and sarcastically said a few words, then turned to leave.
Huo Sinian sat weakly on the side, his voice hoarse. "Are you sure?"
How could it be, how could it be Huo Cheng.
"Niangniang, it is indeed General Huo Cheng."
Except for Huo Cheng, who can beat Huo Jinzhong and escape.
Huo Sinian's fingers trembled and clenched. 'How so, how can it be ......'"
"...... Impossible, at that time, we obviously ...... people" Caiyun knelt on his knees in panic, not believing that Huo Cheng was still alive.
"Smack!" Huo Sinian gave Caiyun a slap in the face. "There is more than enough success and more failure, look at the good things you have done!"
Huo Cheng ...... is still alive, then Huo Cheng must hate her to death.
Huo Sinian was already scared.
She knows her brother Huo Cheng too well.
Compared with his father, Huo Cheng is many times more powerful than Huo Jinzhong.
Huo Cheng grew up with his grandfather since he was a child, and he was a natural general.
How could it be...... How so.
How could it be......
Huo Sinian's whole body was trembling.
Obviously, that's not the plan.
If there is no Huo Cheng, Jiayuguan will be defeated, and Jiayuguan will become her first gift to the emperor.
She has to compete for favor inside, and her father has a record outside.
Everything was in her plan, but Huo Cheng didn't die......
No, Huo Cheng must die.
I'm sorry brother, you can't not die.
Huo Sinian knew that the possibility of plotting against Huo Cheng was very small, and it was almost impossible to do it.
Since you can't rebel, you have to get rid of it.
Huo Cheng will not die, and the Qin State will not be destroyed.
……
State of Qin, Imperial Palace.
The military report from the border pass arrived quickly, and Shen Ning's mood was much better.
It is worthy of Huo Cheng.
"Your Majesty, Huo Cheng beat Huo Jinzhong and fled, in a short period of time, they will definitely not attack in a big way, Huo Cheng has bought us enough respite, great." Shen Ning was very happy, Huo Cheng's battle was really too timely.
As long as he has time, Shen Ning has enough energy to prepare grain and grass.
Not only grain and grass, but also all military supplies, she has to prepare, and at the same time, she has to station troops and tap talents.
"Martial Champion Palace, how are the preparations?" Shen Ning asked.
Several ministers nodded. "Niangniang, everything is ready, your idea is very smart, through the selection of people with good martial arts and good conduct, we will concentrate on training and solve the problem of the lack of border guards and commanders."
"Mother, you're so smart."
Shen Ning shook his head. "It's all for Your Majesty's worries and for the Qin State."
Several ministers nodded their heads one after another.
"Go back, all of you." Shen Ning spoke in a deep voice.
After retiring everyone, Shen Ning sat aside. "Huo Cheng is still alive, Huo Sinian's side will definitely make a move, they will not attack in a big way in a short time, but Huo Sinian will definitely use yin tricks to deal with Huo Cheng."
Wrote a few tips, and Shen Ning handed them to the secret guard. "Hurry up, you go in person, hand over these two tips to Huo Cheng, you stay by Huo Cheng's side, give him this letter, and secretly protect his safety."
Huo Sinian, this woman should not be underestimated, she is definitely not that simple.
If she plays tricks on Huo Cheng, then Huo Cheng is likely to be deceived by her again.
After all, Huo Sinian is Huo Cheng's own sister, and Huo Cheng will definitely be moved.
Once moved, Huo Sinian will inevitably kill him.
Shen Ning was not afraid that Huo Cheng would have an accident on the battlefield, because no one in Chen Guo could match Huo Cheng now.
But Shen Ning was afraid that he would die in the hands of Huo Sinian.
After all, Huo Sinian had almost killed her.
……
The former Minister of Military Aircraft urgently prepared for the martial arts palace examination, and those who were able could participate.
The harem is the assessment of female officials.
All the women who want to leave the harem study hard and prepare for the assessment of female officials.
The first batch of female officials who passed Shen Ning's assessment officially entered the court.
All female officials are under the direct jurisdiction of the Queen and Her Majesty.
"Ning'er, I had a dream recently." During this period of time, Xiao Junhe locked himself in the library every day, reading military books, and retreated to recover his memory as soon as possible.
But after a long time, Xiao Junhe himself has lost patience.
"What did you dream about?" Shen Ning let Xiao Junhe lie on his lap and rubbed his temples for him.
"I dreamed that when I was a teenager, I almost died in the cold palace, and it was you who gave me the only food." Xiao Junhe whispered.
Shen Ning's fingers stiffened. "It's not a dream, it's our past."
Xiao Junhe's eyes burned. "If I can't remember ...... all the time"
"You'll remember." Shen Ning soothed softly. "Memories don't come back in a while, the more anxious you are, the backfire, maybe at that moment, you'll remember them all."
"! The concubine was born! Gave birth to a ...... gave birth to a little prince. The messenger whispered.
But it was rumored in the palace that it was not the emperor's child, so they didn't dare to talk nonsense.
