Chapter 392: Return to the Northland
"Lord Wang, the Beiyi people are brave and good at fighting, you do this, in case the Beiyi people break through the barrier, it will be the people who will suffer in the end." After listening to the information revealed by King Dingliao, Yi Xiaodao was very shocked in his heart, and immediately persuaded him.
King Dingliao tasted a sip of milk wine and said with a smile: "Whether Beiyi will enter the customs or not is not up to you and me to decide, nor is it for Beiyi to decide." But His Majesty, who is far away in the capital, can decide the life and death of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Beiyi and the three feudatories in a single thought! ”
Yi Xiaodao understood what King Dingliao meant, but whenever the imperial court sent troops and threatened the three kings in the north, they might jump over the wall in a hurry, open the pass, and let the Beiyi people invade the Central Plains... Not only could they not even send troops, but they also had to continue to supply military food and grass so that they could continue to fight against Beiyi.
These three kings have clearly become a country within a country!
"You might as well order your troops and horses now, and wave your army south. The northern soldiers are strong and strong, and it is not difficult to defeat the Beijing division! Yi Xiaodao said angrily.
King Dingliao half-lowered his eyes: "Six hundred years of wealth is given by the Zhao family, and we are not the ones who will take revenge, just to protect ourselves." As long as we don't move the San Francisco, everything is easy to say. ”
Yi Xiaodao opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything after all, the other party had already said this, and he couldn't persuade him anything.
Yi Xiaodao stood up and bowed to King Dingliao: "Lord Wang, there are still important things to do, so I will stay soon." ”
King Dingliao also stood up and said with a smile: "Heh, are you leaving?" It doesn't hurt to stay longer. You can rest assured, the war in the south has just ended, even if you want to send troops to us, it will not be so fast. ”
Yi Xiaodao sneered, didn't say anything, turned around and was about to leave.
"If you want to persuade the other two princes, this king suggests that you go to the Northland first. The king of the north loves the people and is quite easy to speak. But this is a matter of the domain, I'm afraid you'll also be touched. King Dingliao reminded behind Yi Xiaodao.
Yi Xiaodao nodded: "Thank you for mentioning it." After speaking, he pulled Bai Xinglong, who didn't say a word from beginning to end, and only tasted milk wine, and walked outside the palace.
Out of the main hall, it was still the group of maids waiting quietly, and Yi Xiaodao didn't pose like a pig brother this time. I wanted to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, but I didn't expect to be a step late, and the three kings had already plotted to arrange their own path.
"Where next?" Bai Xinglong asked in a low voice.
"Northland!" Yi Xiaodao replied angrily, he didn't carry the maid in front of him at all, and there was no need to carry people.
The maidservants sent the two out of the palace, Xu Mo still led a group of soldiers to guard outside, and when he saw Yi Xiaodao coming out, he hurriedly bowed his head and saluted: "Duke Wuding." ”
Yi Xiaodao looked at Xu Mo's lowered head, and somehow a sense of dryness surged in his heart, and he wanted to kill him on the spot. Realizing his own thoughts, Yi Xiaodao was startled, let out a "hmm" without being salty, and hurriedly left.
Since he has already indicated the identity of Wu Dinggong, he is a person from the imperial court, if he kills Anxi's generals in Dingliao... I'm only afraid that the people I killed at noon, Beiyi entered the pass at night...
The two left Dingliao, but did not return directly to the north, but detoured north, wanting to see if the sand city built by the three kings outside the gate had really given up. Who knew that when they arrived at the border with Beiyi, they had long been heavily guarded, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
Yi Xiaodao wanted to reveal his identity, but there was no need to think about it. For such a big event, King Dingliao would never make a show for himself, and he didn't know where he would come. After a brief discussion with Bai Xinglong, the two turned back to the Northland.
Hurried all the way, and finally came to the Northland. It took more than a month to rush this time.
The number of people in the cities in the north has increased a lot compared to when they left before, and I think the people who helped build the sand city outside the gate have withdrawn, and it seems that the king of Dingliao did not tell a lie.
"Let's go, go to the Northland Palace!" Yi Xiaodao beckoned Bai Xinglong to go straight to the city, since he had already exposed his identity in Dingliao, he was afraid that the king of Beidi had already received the news and was waiting anxiously for him in the mansion.
After entering the city, the number of soldiers and horses in the city is simply more than that of Fengcheng. It's just that there is no such amazing situation of soldiers and horses running around and grabbing roads. On the contrary, a group of soldiers and horses marched in an orderly manner, and when they saw a large group of people, they would even take the initiative to avoid it, for fear of disturbing it.
"Alas, there is a world of difference between the two places. The King of Dingliao can spend half of his mind on building the mansion to govern the army..."Bai Xinglong sighed.
Yi Xiaodao smiled: "Don't forget, it's not the Dingliao army in Dingliao." Similarly, it shouldn't be the Northland Army here. "Although the people around him were dressed in Northland armor, it was obvious that they didn't have the same evil aura as those Northland troops encountered in Rejection City.
"Dingliao and Beiyi are the farthest away from Beiyi in the land of the three feudatories in the north, and there are the fewest wars, it seems that these should be Dingliao soldiers and horses." Yi Xiaodao analyzed.
"Three-way swap of troops?" The White Star Dragon was a little surprised.
Yi Xiaodao nodded: "I originally thought it was just a change of defense between Dingliao and Anxi, but now it seems to be a three-way exchange." Otherwise, the northern land is sandwiched in the middle, but if Dingliao and Anxi change their defenses, the combat power of the soldiers and horses will be weakened suddenly, so why not let the northern land do it wantonly? ”
"It seems that the three kings of the north are not really monolithic." Bai Xinglong sighed.
Yi Xiaodao shook his head: "You are wrong, they are a real iron bucket, so changing the guard is indeed to reduce the pressure on Anxi's soldiers, and secondly, they are each to make the other two families feel at ease." The soldiers and horses are outside, just for the peace of mind of the friendly troops, these three feudatories... It's not easy to do..."Yi Xiaodao scratched his head anxiously.
Bai Xinglong glanced at Yi Xiaodao in surprise, the emperor who was far away in the capital was not in a hurry, what was his idle grandfather in a hurry...
"Let's go, let's go directly to the Northland Palace." Yi Xiaodao can only take one step at a time now.
When the two came to the outside of the Beidi Palace, they saw that there were crowds of people outside the palace, surrounded by soldiers and horses, and a middle-aged man stood outside the gate of the palace and looked in the direction of the two. It is clear that they have already received the news and are already waiting for the two.
The Jin clan of the king of the northern land is quite a family
"Wu Dinggong, I have admired the name for a long time!"
As far as the title is concerned, as the prince of the Northland, his status is above that of Yi Xiaodao, and it is not too late to wait for Yi Xiaodao to greet and salute first. However, this Beidi Duke greeted Yi Xiaodao warmly first.
Yi Xiaodao looked at the middle-aged man, his face was full of stubble, the heavenly court was broad, and the nose was round, looking like a loyal and upright person. It's just that Yi Xiaodao, who wanders the rivers and lakes, knows that people can't be disguised, and they can't be deceived by appearance.
Jin Mu, the king of the northern land, and his ancestor Jin Zhenwu are among the eight kings, and Qi Taizu can be said to have the worst relationship. often contradicted Qi Taizu, not to mention, and even violated Qi Taizu's military orders three times and twice. Several times Qi Taizu was so angry that he drew his sword and was about to kill him, but the rest of the brothers stopped him.
However, Jin Zhenwu acted very cautiously, and there were several life and death moments, thanks to his small arrangements, Qi Taizu was able to establish Daqi without dying.
Someone asked him: "Why do you always disobey Zhao Dashuai's military orders when you act so cautiously?" ”
Jin Zhenwu replied: "I don't know if I'm really cautious, but whenever I see a flaw, I must fix it, that's all." ”
The sun rises and the moon sets, spring goes to autumn, and today, six hundred years later, the current king of the Northland, Jin Mu, is far more cautious than his ancestors. The generals under his command, the soldiers and soldiers who can use the relatives are all replaced by the people of their own clans. Of course, there is no chance for the children of the anointed rice and the wine bag rice bag.
Yi Xiaodao smiled, hurriedly took two steps forward, and was about to bow down, but was stopped by Jin Mu: "Hey! Wu Dinggong, don't be polite, enter the house and talk again. ”
The Beidi Wangfu is much more normal than the Dingliao Wangfu, the regular Qijin Mansion seems to be some years, the masonry is broken in some places, the wall is white and falling, and even the tiles are broken and not replaced, it seems that the Beidi King is quite frugal on weekdays.
"Master Yi, I'm not a smart person, just an honest person. Let's get straight to the point! The imperial court, do you have any thoughts about using troops in our three feudal lands? Everyone sat down, and before the tea was served, the king of the northern land opened his mouth and asked directly.
Yi Xiaodao was a little stunned by the question, and his belly was stirred up by this sentence: "This... Cough... This gentleman's heart is unpredictable, I really don't know..."
"Then Wu Dinggong came to our three feudal domains this time, why did he come to the three feudatories?" The King of the Northland continued to ask.
Yi Xiaodao pondered and said: "Chu Xiang rebelled, but fortunately it was suppressed by the imperial court. His Majesty was worried that the Beiyi people would take advantage of this opportunity, so he sent Yi to come here to see if there was any movement from the Beiyi people, and the court had to prepare early. ”
Jin Mu shook his head and smiled: "Duke Wu Ding didn't tell the truth!" The Beiyi people did not just appear outside the Saiwai today. Chu Xiang rebelled, although the movement was quite big, but compared to the three saints who died together back then, it was much smaller! ”
A few decades ago, the first emperor was not an emperor, not even a crown prince. After the old emperor died, he didn't expect Zhao Yizhi's "uncle", that is, the crown prince of the dynasty, to be too sad and go with the emperor. After the prince went, the ministers panicked, and they were just about to support the ten-year-old imperial grandson to ascend the throne, but they didn't want the imperial grandson to be stuck in his throat by a chicken bone when he was eating, and he was stuck alive!
The three ancestors and grandchildren died on the same day, and the historian called it "the three saints died together", and the whole country mourned for several years.
"This time and that time. The three saints died together, and the Great Apocalypse was peaceful inside and outside, and there was no war, so he was not afraid of the Beiyi people. And now, the court and Chu Xiang have spent more than two years against each other, and they have finally won narrowly. If Beiyi takes advantage of this time to invade the Central Plains, it can be said that it is the best time. Yi Xiaodao sighed.
"Narrowly won?" The king of the Northland asked again and again.
"Narrowly won." Yi Xiaodao repeated, staring at the King of the Northland.
The King of Beidi suddenly looked a little flustered, waved his hand and retreated from the subordinates on the side, and came to Yi Xiaodao's side: "Duke Wu Ding didn't mention this matter to the other two kings, right?" ”
"What's the matter?"
"Narrowly won!"
