-- The book continues --

"Report to the emperor, Xiao Liankai, the assassin of Jingzhou in Liang State, gathered 200,000 troops and invaded my southern Xinjiang. The small soldiers in the first county town of Xinye are weak and have fallen. Nanyang Taishou abandoned the city and fled, and the Liang army won Nanyang without a fight. Now the enemy is very sharp, invincible, Luo Jing is in a hurry! "The sudden frontier beacon fire shook the entire Great Wei court.

In the past, there were only northern expeditions to the south, and the southern dynasties were always passive on the defensive, and rarely took the initiative to go on expeditions to the north.

Today, the Xiao family ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and actually dared to invade Nanyang, the gateway of Luojing, which had heavy troops in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and more importantly, he took advantage of the slackness of the defenders and got lucky!

Although the main elite of the Northern Wei Dynasty would crush the Liang army into powder once they rushed to the rescue, the Xiao family had already completed a beautiful political show and scored a lot in the political arena of the Liang State.

Yuan Ming angrily rushed to the crown and announced that he would drive the royal expedition in person, resist the enemy outside the country, and duel with the Xiao family.

This time, we must take Xiangyang and pull out this hard nail that threatens the safety of Dawei Luojing!

Who would have thought that the Northern Wei army of the Yuan and Ming dynasties had just arrived at the front line, only to find that Nanyang was already an empty city.

The cunning Xiao shook a shot, turned to capture Runan, marched all the way east, rushed hundreds of miles, and joined the Jiangzhou army of Liang State under Shouchun City.

Xiao's true intentions were finally revealed: he used the strategy of attacking the east and the west, diverting the main force of the Wei army, and concentrating his forces to attack the two counties of Lujiang and Huainan in the isolated Wei state.

Ten years ago, the Northern Wei Emperor took advantage of the civil strife in Liang to capture Shouchun, and since then the Jiankang Fence has been completely withdrawn, exposed to the military threat of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the Liang Emperor Xiao Xuan is like a man's back.

And now the Northern Wei Dynasty was caught off guard, defeated and retreated, several reinforcements were blocked by the Liang army, and returned in vain, leaving only Murong Shao, the general of Shouchun City, the general of the chariot cavalry, to defend the lonely city, struggling to support, like a candle in the wind, in danger.

Murong Shao is the elder brother of Queen Murong Ling, and as the uncle of the court, his safety certainly affects his sister's heart.

In desperation, Yuan Ming, at the suggestion of his advisers, sent envoys to Jiankang to sue for peace with Emperor Xiao Xuan of Southern Liang.

"It's okay to negotiate peace. In addition to returning the two counties of Lujiang in Huainan, in order to consolidate peace between the north and the south, His Royal Highness also suggested that the two countries make peace. On behalf of the Liang Kingdom, he will propose to His Majesty's royal sister, Her Royal Highness Princess Qingning! The herald said tremblingly.

When Yuan Ming heard this, he was shocked.

The generals and strategists under the tent looked at each other, and no one had heard that the emperor had a sister today.

"Your Majesty, although the 'Princess Qingning' is nothing, the old minister thinks it is feasible to be close to each other. The emperor might as well make a mistake and canonize a noble daughter of the clan as the princess of Qingning, marry the Xiao family, and we will also benefit from the fisherman. As long as you endure this time, there will be a chance to take revenge in the future, destroy Nanliang, and unify the universe! Dugu Yan, a respected veteran of the Three Dynasties, spoke.

Dugu Yan is a generation of famous generals, with great military achievements, and his qualifications and prestige are unmatched in the Wei State.

"I'm going to send troops to save Shouchun! Lead me to the horse! Yuan Ming's bloodshot eyes widened, roaring like a tiger cub descending from the mountain, and rushed out of the encirclement of the ministers.

"Your Majesty! The art of war is cloudy, and generals cannot fight angrily. The emperor is the body of ten thousand gold, don't move lightly, don't fall for the Xiao family's agitation method! Duguyan advised.

"Soldiers don't get tired of cheating, we might as well ...... like this," Dugu Yan said to Yuan Ming.

On Shouchun City, Murong Shao was commanding the battle to defend the city, his voice was hoarse, his eyes were bloodshot, and he walked back and forth on the city wall to patrol.

He has been sleepless for several days, calmly responding to the battle, and stubbornly resisting dozens of attacks by the Liang army.

The Liang army used ladders, wells, chariots and other instruments to storm the city wall in turn, and rewarded the first warrior to climb the city, but he returned again and again, throwing countless corpses in vain.

Murong Shao had no choice but to urgently requisition the people in the city, even the old and weak, women and children, to help defend the city. Moreover, the people of Shouchun were originally the people of the Southern Dynasty, and their loyalty to the Wei State should also be questioned.

Murong Shao raised his eyebrows, and he didn't care so much, just looking forward to the emperor's brother-in-law's reinforcements.

"Report, the lord of the Northern Wei Dynasty sent a messenger to ask for peace and agreed to the conditions proposed by His Highness!" The herald's briefing interrupted Shaw's thoughts.

"Oh, he agrees and kisses?"

"Lord Wei promised to make peace with the princess, but there were conditions: the princess must marry the prince of the East Palace of Daliang as the main concubine, give birth to a son in the future, and become the emperor's grandson. That's what Lord Wei said. ”

"Behead the envoys of Wei for me, and return the head to Yuan Ming!" Shaw went berserk, drew his sword, and slashed a railing.

"Your Highness, the envoys of the Wei State have gone to Jiankang, and we can't catch up." The herald said timidly.

Xiao Shi kicked the herald away, and said angrily: "What's the use of these rice buckets for you? ”

The crown prince Xiao Liande happily accepted the Northern Wei Dynasty's proposal of harmony.

His concubine has just passed away, and if he can marry the princess of Wei and use Wei as a strong reinforcement, he will undoubtedly consolidate his position as the crown prince. The father will not dare to change the prince easily, and the arrogance of the Xiao family and other pretenders will also be suppressed.

Yuan Ming casually found a girl with a low status from the clan, named her Princess Qingning, and sent a luxurious battle to send her to Jiankang to get married.

This girl was originally the illegitimate daughter of a prince and a singer, who was reduced to street performance since she was a child, and was later bought by an official.

Now that the sparrow has become a phoenix and has become the princess of Liang Kingdom, it can be regarded as the blessing accumulated by this girl in her previous life.

…………

After the war, the Wei court discussed meritorious deeds, and the general Murong Shao adhered to the lonely city of Shouchun for dozens of days, killing the enemy without counting, and the military achievements were impressive, and the spirit was commendable.

At this time, Queen Murong Ling was not happy at all, afraid that there would be gossip that her brother climbed up by nepotism.

At this time, Hanzhong and Southern Zheng were the front line of the confrontation between Northern Wei and Southern Liang.

On the winding mountain road, a plain-clothed woman wearing a hat rode a white horse and galloped past, and the slender shadow flashed by to add a touch of color to the quiet mountain forest.

When she arrived at the Wei army camp in the high mountains and deep valleys, she dismounted in front of the Yuanmen and lifted her veil, revealing a delicate and fair face, clear starry eyes like water, revealing grace and intelligence. She handed the whip to the guards and glanced at the flag officer.

"Lord Wang, the Yin girl is here!" The flag officer announced loudly.

The woman is Yin Lihua (Wang Zheng), who was rescued by Coach Xiao Qi in a water and washed out of the ground of Chibi in an earthquake, Yin Lihua (Wang Zheng) helped Xiao Qi to plan three times to return Coach Xiao Qi's rescue from the water.

"I've seen Marshal Qi!" Yin Lihua made a woman's blessing salute to the boss of the upper seat, and said, "I don't know what to do with finding a concubine?" ”

After Marshal Qi asked everyone around him to retreat, he said to Yin Lihua (Wang Zheng): "Xiao Liang's attack on Wei, do you know about it?" ”

Yin Lihua said to Commander Xiao Qi: "The little emperor of Wei has a handle in the hands of the Xiao clan of Southern Liang, so he threw a mouse bogey, and only then did he lose Shouchun. ”

"What's the handle?" Coach Xiao Qi showed an excited expression.

Yin Lihua (Wang Zheng) sighed faintly and said: "Emperor Wei is a woman, and her mother is the right, concealing the female body of the little emperor of Wei, and letting her pretend to be a man to ascend the throne. At that time, the emperor was dressed as a girl, so he called himself Yuan Mingyue, the princess of Qingning, so there was a matter of peace between the two countries. ”

"Really?" Coach Xiao Qi asked with great joy.

"Marshal, let someone investigate the authenticity!" Yin Lihua (Wang Zheng) got up after saying that she made a woman's blessing ceremony, and said, "Concubine, say goodbye first!" ”

"Good!" Coach Xiao Qi laughed, and after Yin Lihua (Wang Zheng) left, he immediately let everyone discuss the matter, and at the same time reported to the lord of Qi State, the lord of the Wei State who acted so absurdly and perversely, deserved to be replaced.

Heaven gives it to take it, but it suffers from it.

Coach Xiao Qi immediately let people know that this scandal was probably going to spread all over the streets and alleys of Luojing. This incident was poked out, and the prestige of the little emperor plummeted, saying that the queen mother let her daughter pretend to be the prince and inherit the throne in order to put an end to the covetousness of the brothers. Therefore, the new emperor has not been close to women for a long time, and the current prince is also a mongrel who does not know where to raise him.

At this time, Yuan Ming was soaked in the sea of skirt hairpin fat powder all day long under the protection of the queen, and he was happy to return, and gradually became desolate to the government, not knowing that the secret of his female body was about to be known by the nobles and the people.
