After a long period of fighting, the Song army had just stabilized, and Uncle Guo went to various states and counties to raise grain and grass, and it had been two months. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info He personally went to the prefectures and counties around Fenzhou, because the local disaster for several years, so the harvest was not good, Uncle Guo did not collect much grain and grass, and hurriedly transported the raised grain and grass back to the barracks, and the news came from the capital, anxious to let Uncle Guo go back to his life, so Uncle Guo rushed back to Beijing overnight.
Li Luoyun's eyes were not enough food and grass, so he discharged three more soldiers and horses, more than 100 people, and then went to various states and counties and military camps to raise grain and grass. "I hope that the grain and grass are enough, and the alliance army of the Liao army can be repulsed, otherwise the border pass will be ruined again, pity the people here." Li Luoyun looked at the sunset alone and sighed.
Uncle Guo returned to the capital, quickly went to the palace, the emperor ordered him to be the generalissimo of the Second Road Rescue Army, he received the order after five days, all over the army and horses rushed to the border.
There is no border war in the capital, the royal family and the people are very stable, this year has passed a few months, on the ninth day of the ninth month of September, the imperial concubine took the emperor's favorite sixteenth princess Biying to the Huguo Temple outside the city to go to the incense. Dozens of honor guards marched from the palace to the outside of the city. Fifteen miles outside the city, Tian Zhen, the commander of the guards, found that something was wrong, so he told the team to stop, more than 20 guards were in strict formation, and suddenly hundreds of arrows flew out of the grass on both sides, everyone waved the knife in their hands vigorously, and after a rain of arrows, three guards were slightly injured, and the others were intact. More than 30 black-clothed men armed with scimitars rushed out on both sides, and Tian Zhen found that these people's martial arts were strong, although they were not as good as themselves, but they were all good players. The princess and the princess hid in the car and didn't dare to come out, Tian Zhen and the guards desperately resisted, and everyone fought inextricably, and there were casualties among each other. There was no way to call for reinforcements in this wilderness, Tian Zhen wanted to end the battle quickly, everyone also gathered around the carriage, and the palace maids and eunuchs who accompanied him were also frightened and shrank to a corner outside the carriage. After fighting for a long time, Tian Zhen saw that these guards were no match for those killers, and hurriedly said to the imperial concubine: "Niangniang, hurry up and take the princess out and get on the horse, and I will take you out to rush out." After speaking, the mother helped the princess onto the horse and said to Tian Zhen: "Commander, you take the princess and leave quickly, don't worry about me, quickly." "Mother, you can get on the horse quickly. Tian Zhen said, Niangniang was very anxious and said to Tian Zhen: "The princess has three long and two short, take you to ask, are you worthy of the emperor, worthy of the court?" Tian Zhen thought for a while, and said helplessly: "You protect your mother." Then Tian Zhen was about to get on the horse and take the princess away, a killer suddenly slashed at Tian Zhen with a knife, and at the same time a black shadow came down from the tree, and he rode on the horse and ran away with the princess, Tian Zhen killed the killer and turned around and jumped out of the circle, and rode another horse to quickly chase the person who took the princess. At this time, the princess was taken captive, and those killers did not continue to entangle, but retreated one after another, Tian Zhen didn't know where to chase, and the other guards hurriedly escorted Niangniang back to the palace.
"What are you doing to eat, you actually lost Ying'er, if you can't find Ying'er within three days, you will all be sentenced to death. I only heard the angry voice of the emperor coming from the palace. Prime Minister Chen Shun'an hurriedly pleaded and said to the emperor that it would be useless to be angry, and give these guards a few more days. The emperor hurriedly ordered, issued a proclamation, the princess was taken captive, ordered all states and counties to guard the passes, strictly search, and in the palace, sent hundreds of masters to find the whereabouts of the princess and Tian Zhen.
Li Luoyun was almost resting at the border pass, and he had already promised Chaoping to go back, but because he hadn't gone back for so long because of the war, it was better to write a letter to his grandson. Then he wrote a letter on paper in the military tent, telling Chaoping that because he was ambushed by the enemy and the last decisive battle was unsuccessful, he withdrew his troops to Fencheng to rest, and planned to deal with the enemy, and it would take some time to go back, and told Chaoping not to worry, the soldiers, horses, and grain and grass were already sufficient.
Chaoping, who was waiting for his grandfather at home, saw the carrier pigeon flying back when he was strolling around the yard, and he was particularly disappointed after seeing what his grandfather wrote, and he thought that he could see his grandfather as soon as possible, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen. He was a little uneasy in his heart, at this time Liu Er came to the Shuai Mansion to play with Chao Ping, but Liu Er didn't dare to disturb him when he saw Chao Ping's lost appearance, and was just about to turn around and go back, but was seen by Chao Ping. Chao Ping told him the contents of the letter, and suggested that Liu Er accompany him to go around the city.
Chaoping and Liu Er walked around the street, walked around the downtown for more than half an hour, and walked to the door of the Thorn Mansion, only to see many people outside the door looking at the notice on the left wall of the door. The confused and anxious person in the mansion was shouting at the other officials, not knowing what to let them do, these officers and soldiers can be said to have been dispatched, and a lot of people have gathered here, and several groups of people have gone out one after another, and they are all very anxious. Chaoping and Liu Er couldn't guess what was going on, thinking that something must have happened, so they squeezed into the crowd and looked at the notice on the wall. "Ah, that's what happened. Chaoping's surprised face changed, and both he and Liu Er saw the news of the princess's disappearance written on the notice. After reading the notice, they decided to go back to the Shuaifu to discuss, and let Zhang Tao and them help find the princess, if it was in the territory of Changzhou, Zhang Tao and a few soldiers should be able to find the whereabouts of the princess, because they are very familiar with this place, and if there are strangers here, they will also inquire about it.
Chaoping and Liu'er walked to the Shuaifu, and halfway Chaoping sighed and said to Liu'er: "This is really a blessing and a disaster, there is a mistake at the border pass, and now the princess is also missing. Back in the mansion, Zhang Tao and the housekeeper also got together with Chaoping Liu'er, they took out the military map of the Shuaifu, and everyone discussed together where the princess was taken away outside the capital, and where this bad guy would go. Chaoping analyzed that if it was an ordinary killer, he should not leave a living speech, first of all, he would not take the princess away, and the princess and other guards were already unable to parry, but the killer withdrew after the princess was captured, and secondly, how did the time and place of the princess and the princess's trip leak out. Zhang Tao heard Chao Ping's analysis and said: "What the prince said is right, it seems that the killer is coming for the princess, since he did not kill him, he naturally wants to threaten the imperial court, and the time and place of the imperial concubine's trip are found to be very likely to have spies in the imperial court." Chaoping said: "Where should they go, the world is so big, I don't know if they will come to Changzhou, Brother Zhang Tao, you will go out tomorrow to inquire and see if there is such a possibility." "Yes, Childe. ”
