Chapter 172
Chapter 172
Fu Wang's nomination certificate was not just for talking, although he guessed the plan of the eldest princess and felt that he was not destined for that position, but after such a toss, it can't be in vain, at least it is necessary to go further.Mianzhou is not considered poor, but it is not very rich, otherwise his private soldiers would not have only raised so many, even King Yingchuan and others could not compare.
Princess Dachang naturally also understood what King Fu meant. She had just managed to take over the imperial army at this moment, so naturally she couldn't use troops recklessly like Xiao Qian before.So the two sides hit it off, and Fu Wang, who had just left the city, happily ran to contact the Mianzhou Army in the city.
For a city with tall buildings and solid buildings, many soldiers and generals, it is naturally difficult to conquer it from the outside, but it is easy to break it from the inside.Fu Wang had just left the city, and the [-] Mianzhou army in the city hadn't had time to be drawn into divisions, so it was easy to do things.So the eldest princess was very relieved to hand over the matter to King Fu.
As soon as King Fu left, the atmosphere in the car suddenly became quiet. Qin Yu looked at the eldest princess, then at the noble concubine Su Mo and others beside him, and said very wittily, "General Wang was killed by the assassin. He died here accidentally, if the soldiers and horses under his command are not restrained, there may be riots, and finally he wants to ask for orders to gather the troops, and I hope His Highness will allow it."
As soon as Qin Yu said this, the two generals Qi and Chu who survived the previous scene of inviting the king into the urn also reacted, and hurriedly saluted to express their intention to return to rectify the sergeants.If it is said that they were still a little bit unwilling before, but now after seeing King Fu also bowed to Princess Dachang, they couldn't afford it anymore, and they didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction.
The Eldest Princess has sharp eyes, and she can see the hidden fear in the eyes of the two with just one glance, so she didn't make things difficult for them, and said: "The two generals are going, but the current situation is chaotic, and I hope the two generals will restrain their subordinates. Don't make any trouble." After she finished speaking, she said to Qin Yu, who begged for orders, "Thank you, General Qin."
Qin Yu is a veteran general, so he has some experience on how to subdue the army that has lost the general. In addition, the Xuanjia army is behind the formation, and the eldest princess is not worried that he will not be able to subdue the tens of thousands of generals under General Wang.In fact, before the arrival of these three generals, she had already prepared for the worst, that is, all three of them would swear allegiance to Xiao Qian, so she could only kill all three of them, and then use the Xuanjia Army to subdue the others. army.
Fortunately, the situation was not that bad. Qi and Chu surrendered, saving the eldest princess a lot of trouble.But at the moment when they heard that the Eldest Princess really let them go back to join her soldiers and horses, they were surprised and delighted at the same time, and there was some admiration in their hearts.
After the three of them saluted, they quickly withdrew. Guan Lin felt that it was not suitable for him to stay, so he also excused himself to collect Xiao Qian's body and followed him out.After these people had left, apart from the eldest princess and her family, there were only the raiders left in the spacious car.
The Eldest Princess glanced over these people one by one. It is undeniable that each of them has done a lot for her during this period of time.Xiao Wenxuan pulled over to Prince Fu's Mansion, He Ming sent money and food, Xu Wenjin offered advice, Wu Changjun fought in front, and even the most humble old beggar, Hong Ping, acted as a scout, allowing the beggar gang to send news continuously.
What they have done may not be a timely help to the Eldest Princess, without them, she can still get what she wants.But with this kind of help, everything went much smoother, and the eldest princess is not the kind of person who is ungrateful, so she also solemnly said to everyone: "Thank you for your help, and the wealth and glory in the future should be shared with you. .”
Wealth and splendor are not what everyone seeks, so everyone was very calm when they heard this remark. After saying a few polite words, their eyes uncontrollably glanced towards Zhong Shao.Not only Zhong Shao was aware of it, but even the Eldest Princess was also aware of it, and his eyes followed him.
Zhong Shao quickly turned his eyes away, only to see, but he couldn't express his pain - if she wasn't the son-in-law of the eldest princess, if she wasn't the son-in-law of the noble concubine, with the eyes of these people, the eldest The eldest princess could kill her out of fear, right? !
Everyone waited for a while, but they couldn't help feeling disappointed when they didn't hear the system prompt.However, there is still a wink that should be there, so Xu Wenjin took the lead, and after a few polite words, the group also retreated.
Without the presence of outsiders, Zhong Shao was finally able to hold Su Mo up and down without any scruples, and at the same time asked worriedly: "Ah Mo, are you okay? Have you suffered a lot these days? Xiao Qian has abused you, look The weight loss has decreased a lot, is there any injury on the body?"
Naturally, there is hardship. How can a pampered young lady be imprisoned in a prison car without suffering?But after hearing Zhong Shao's question, Su Mo shook his head lightly and said, "Fortunately, His Majesty didn't criticize me and Auntie."
Xiao Qian's eyes were red, but he wasn't really crazy. Knowing that Zhong Shao valued Su Mo very much, he blamed her, wasn't he asking for trouble?It's just that he didn't expect Zhong Shao to value Su Mo so much, and to be so sensitive. Just because he made a slip of the tongue for a moment, the favorability level dropped rapidly, almost falling below -100.But it doesn't matter whether it reaches -100 or not, and the left and right people are gone.
After hearing these words, the Eldest Princess turned her attention to the Concubine Gui. She sized her up and down, then turned her head to look at Su Mo, and said, "It's because I didn't think carefully, I was tired You have to suffer. Fortunately, there is nothing wrong now, you two should take a good rest for a while. When something happens in Chenzhou, we may have to rush back to the capital as soon as possible."
The seven kings rebelled, and Chenzhou had only four kings, and the other three kings were marching to Anyang in three routes.Although there were troops to stop them, if the news of Emperor Jing Yuan's death spread, I'm afraid that the army on the court side would lose their morale and be unable to stop the three-way rebellion against the king.
The eldest princess wanted that position, and judging from the current situation, it was already half done, but she didn't want to face a capital city that had been completely destroyed by the anti-king when she returned to Anyang.
The other three naturally understood it, and the noble concubine frowned, and said: "What a trouble!" After speaking, she thought that if the eldest princess can get what she wanted, the family, the country and the world will be on her in the future, I am afraid there will be more A lot of troubles are waiting for them, so I took another look at the Eldest Princess and added: "I'm asking for trouble."
************************************************** *********
Xiao Qian was probably the emperor who died the most peacefully, although he didn't die, but was assassinated in front of the battle during the Imperial Conquest!
The Eldest Princess' Thunderbolt method is very useful. Many people in the army are still guessing whether the shouting on the opposite tower is true or not. When the emperor on the imperial chariot ahead was actually assassinated, she has recovered [-]% of the army.Only half a day later, the news of Xiao Qian's death finally spread, but at that time, the personal expedition team dispatched by Xiao Qian had already changed course.
The corpse of Emperor Jingyuan was restrained, and the corpse of Yang Sifu smiling was finally cleaned up by the Yulins. Zhong Shao hesitated for a moment, but he still didn't order the corpse to come for a proper burial.For these raiders, this body may really be just a skin, and if it breaks, it will be broken, and it will be thrown away. As for their souls, they have already escaped.
After subduing the army, the eldest princess didn't hesitate much, and directly ordered the withdrawal of the troops-although she subdued the tens of thousands of troops, she did it in a hurry, and the reputation was not right, and she wanted to be like Xiao Qian. Generally speaking, it is obviously unrealistic to let them continue to attack the city.
For the next three days, the army was only stationed in the outskirts of Chenzhou, and did not retreat, but did not go to attack the city, but just rested.
In Chenzhou City, King Yingchuan and the others were not calm anymore, and the three kings returned to the meeting hall to discuss matters, but this time they did not quarrel over power and profit, but stayed together calmly to discuss the future.
King Yiyang was most worried because he had no friendship with Princess Dachang, and it was not because of Princess Dachang's handwriting that he raised his troops, so he frowned first and said: "King Fu has ulterior motives, so he went out of the city like this. In my opinion, he His words are totally unbelievable, the tens of thousands of troops outside the city may have returned to Ying Yang, so he went there to defect."
Hearing this, King Jing'an took it for granted, but became even more worried: "Yingyang was originally with us, and she was there for the discussion before, and no one thought of guarding against her, but who would have thought that she would have such a future?" hands." He said and glanced at the other two people: "Both brothers and sisters are well aware of the current situation in the city, and they were the first to capture Chenzhou in the first place. If Yingyang turns his face and refuses to recognize anyone..."
King Yingchuan slapped the table when he heard the words, and said angrily: "How dare she! A woman, still want to stir up the situation?! What's more, her handwriting is still in our hands. Later, we will send her assassins to assassinate the emperor in front of the battle." Let the world see what kind of person she is!"
King Yiyang smiled wryly when he heard the words, then shook his head and said, "What's the benefit of ruining her reputation now? Let's not mention the fact that far away water can't save near fire. Let's talk about the present. Right now Yingyang has returned to the imperial court." Dajun, but he never sent anyone to communicate with us. It seems that he didn't want to be kind. Moreover, King Fu has already left the city. He is her elder brother and the only heir of the direct branch. When their brothers and sisters unite, we people can He is the real "rebellious minister and thief"."
He didn't say a word, he felt that Fu Wang had fooled them with his words at that time, turned his head and led them out of the city, he must have sensed their killing intent.In this way, those who had no enmity before have now become enmity, so that the other party did not even want to send envoys to negotiate.
King Yingchuan was even more angry when he heard this: "At first she wrote a letter asking us to raise troops, but now she has turned her face and ruthless. Can't you really treat us like a soft persimmon?" Tens of thousands, Ying Yang is not Xiao Qian, she has no way to mobilize troops and horses, and the soldiers and horses are not so easy to subdue, looking at the calm outside the city these days, I am afraid that she is the one who cannot order the troops to attack the city."
It is reasonable to say this, King Jingan and King Yiyang looked at each other and said, "Why don't we strike first?"
After he finished speaking, King Yiyang said again: "King Fu left the city in a hurry, and the [-] Mianzhou Army is still in the city, so what should we do?"
King Yingchuan sneered when he heard the words, he looked at the two kings, and said as a matter of course: "If you stay, it's for us to eat, don't you want us to send him out?!"
Serving as a soldier and fighting a war is just for food and pay, who is not selling for whom?What's more, King Fu didn't have as much money as them, and King Fu had already abandoned this army in a hurry. King Yingchuan was not worried at all that the Mianzhou Army would not be able to subdue it.
The three of them discussed for half a day, and finally decided to nibble away King Fu's [-] army first, and then put them into the three armies respectively.Naturally, the trust will be lost for a while, but it is not bad to fight back and let them charge forward.
So during these three days, Princess Dachang organized the army outside the city, and the three kings also crazily carve up King Fu's Mianzhou army inside the city.After three days, King Yingchuan and others felt that they had rectified the army first, and they also temporarily agreed that the coalition army of the three kings would be under the unified command and dispatch of King Yingchuan, so they assembled their troops and went out of the city, intending to fight the eldest princess and the others first. One caught off guard!
************************************************** **********
When it comes to layout and planning, people guess that the eldest princess will do her part, but when it comes to leading troops to fight, the eldest princess can't.Even if she is proficient in bow and horse and has read military books, let alone compared with veteran generals like Qin Yu and Wu Changjun who have been on the battlefield for a long time, even the fledgling Zhong Shao or Habayashi Zhonglang Guan who has not seen much blood. Lin is also incomparable.
But fortunately, Princess Dachang has self-knowledge and knows how to employ people, so she completely entrusted the tens of thousands of troops to Qin Yu's hands.
Qin Yu is a veteran general and can lead the Xuanjia Army. Even if he is not a well-known general, his ability to lead the army in battle is not bad.So in three days, for him, he could do far more than the three kings in Chenzhou City.
After a few days, the armies of the two sides met again on the outskirts of the city, but their positions were quite different from before.
King Yingchuan personally led the troops in bright light armor. He glanced away, but did not find King Fu or Princess Dachang in the opponent's camp. When he looked at Qin Yu again, he wanted to win him over: "Qin Yu, This king appreciates your reputation for being good at fighting. Now that Emperor Jing Yuan has passed away, you should have found a wise master, but why are you willing to live under a woman?!"
Qin Yu was not moved at all, and he didn't even give King Yingchuan a superfluous look, but taunted: "The prince's family has been favored by the country for a long time, but he raises private soldiers to start wars lightly, so unfaithful and unrighteous For the Ming Lord?!"
When King Yingchuan heard this, he felt annoyed immediately, but he sneered and asked, "This king is unfaithful, but General Qin is a loyal man?"
Unexpectedly, Qin Yu nodded solemnly after hearing this: "Qin is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, so he is a loyal person."
King Yingchuan wanted to scold him for being shameless when he heard the words, because he couldn't wait to welcome Yingyang into the army that day, if he said that the two hadn't hooked up a long time ago, even if he killed King Yingchuan, he wouldn't believe it!But this person obviously betrayed Xiao Qian, and now he can say that he is loyal to the emperor and patriotic so confidently.
Since we can't talk about it together, let's fight together over there. King Yingchuan felt that he brought all the soldiers and horses today, without the embarrassment that caused many sects to go out.
So with a wave of his hand and an order, the two armies fought in one place again...
In the big camp at the back, Princess Eldest was sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army, with a cup of tea and a book of war in her hand, she slowly flipped through it, her expression indifferent, as if she didn't care about the battle ahead.
The noble concubine sat aside for a long while, and she was a little unhappy when she saw that the eldest princess didn't even look at her.She raised her hand to press down the book of war in the opponent's hand, and said dissatisfiedly: "Grind your gun before the battle, what's the use of reading the book of war now? When you learn how to form an army, I'm afraid this battle will be over long ago." After a pause, He raised his eyebrows again and said, "If you have this skill, why not do something else."
The eldest princess turned her head to look left and right, and found that there was no one in the big tent except them. Finally, she put down the book of war with some helplessness, looked at the other party and said: "If you don't know the essence, you must know something about the superficial, so that you can not understand the truth." Be deceived."
The noble concubine felt bored for a while when she heard the words, she stared at the eldest princess for a while, and finally frowned and said: "How did I not realize that you were so boring at the beginning?! Obviously at that time, I would go boating with me to enjoy the scenery and talk Small talk."
The eldest princess heard the words for some reason, and suddenly said: "So you are tired of me?"
The eldest princess felt a little regretful when she said the words.However, the noble concubine's eyes lit up when she heard the words, then she got up quickly, turned around, and sat directly on the lap of the eldest princess, smiling coquettishly: "What nonsense are you talking about, how can I get tired of you?!"
The noble concubine has an exquisite figure, and her body is naturally not heavy, but her action made the eldest princess's body freeze instantly.A blush inevitably appeared on her fair cheeks, and the Eldest Princess couldn't care less about what the Concubine Gui said, so she stretched out her hand to push her: "You, get up quickly, and do this in this big tent, What is the system?!"
While talking, the eldest princess couldn't help but glanced in the direction of the curtain again. Although she knew that no one would trespass without being notified in the Chinese military tent, such a thin curtain is really It makes people feel insecure.
The noble concubine ignored her resistance at all, and instead put her arms around the eldest princess's neck, she leaned closer and said with a sigh of relief: "I'm not afraid of your misunderstanding, I will prove with actions that I have never been bored." You?"
The eldest princess looked at the face that was so close at hand, and felt the other party's breath spraying on her face, her heartbeat couldn't help but beat faster.But in the next moment, she turned cold and said, "It doesn't need to be like this, I just said something casually."
The noble concubine was a little annoyed, she felt that the person in front of her was getting more and more difficult to hook up with, so she stared and said, "You always speak insincerely, but I miss the days when you were poisoned and injured."
That was the most dangerous and vulnerable time for the Eldest Princess, but it was also the most honest time for the Eldest Princess.At that time, even if she was weak or hurt, she would remember to comfort her and insist that she was fine.The experience during that time made Concubine Gui feel that it is possible for them to be together, and Ying Yang also accepted her feelings, but now, everything is better, why did this person change? !
After a long period of active pursuit, the imperial concubine finally felt a little tired, and a little tiredness appeared in her eyes inadvertently.
Maybe the eldest princess saw it, maybe she didn't, her lips were tightly pressed together, and there was a look of sadness in her eyes.But thinking about Zhong Shao and Su Mo, thinking about their status and situation, she still didn't say anything in the end.
The imperial concubine got up suddenly and returned to her original position. She didn't look at the eldest princess again, but her eyes fell on the teacup in front of her, and then changed the subject: "Yingyang, tell me, how long will this battle last?" ?”
When it came to business, the Eldest Princess also suppressed the disappointment in her eyes, and replied seriously: "If there are no accidents, Chenzhou can be broken today."
The Concubine Gui didn't ask about the war in detail, but asked again: "Then when do you think we can return to Beijing?"
This time the Eldest Princess thought about it carefully, and then replied: "If everything goes well, I will be able to return to Anyang in about two months. But there may be a war at that time, and I don't know when it will be when I really settle down."
The Concubine Noble nodded, and continued to ask: "If you return to the capital smoothly, you have great power, so are you going to take that position?"
Speaking of this, the eldest princess's eyes flashed with light.They are all descendants of the Xiao family. Those vassal kings are ambitious, even King Fu, who has always been wise and safe, is no exception. How can someone like Princess Dachang who has held power for many years be an exception?It's just that she never thought that she would have a chance to ascend to the throne, until Zhong Shao pointed it out, and that little spark gradually started a prairie fire.
The noble concubine knew the answer when she heard the brief silence. She sighed suddenly, but her gaze was still on the teacup. She didn't look at the eldest princess, but said in a lonely tone: "So, you are To be the emperor, do you want to accept the harem?"
Unexpectedly, upon hearing such a sentence, the princess, who was as calm as the elder princess, couldn't help but change her face, and immediately retorted: "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
The noble concubine finally raised her eyes to look at the eldest princess, her eyes were full of water, and seemed to contain a thousand words, but in the end she just said aggrievedly: "But you don't have many children, and you only have one daughter. There is no son to inherit the throne."
The eldest princess laughed angrily when she heard the words, but seeing the lovely and pitiful appearance of the imperial concubine, even if she knew she was pretending, she couldn't get angry, so she frowned and said: "I am People who are over [-] years old, what else do you want to have? You think I am a man, don’t you need to conceive a child yourself?! Besides, who said that the throne must be passed on to a son? I can pass it to Ah Mo, to Ah Mo Shao, no matter how bad it is, there are still their children!"
Hearing this, the imperial concubine's expression froze suddenly, she lowered her head and said nothing.
She and Ying Yang have a close relationship, and there are actually very few secrets between them. Even Zhong Shao, the adoptive son, is her own matter, and she has told Ying Yang about it.However, he didn't tell the other party back then that he gave birth to a daughter, not a son, and then there were a lot of mistakes, so that Yingyang is still counting on Zhong Shao and Su Mo's children...
The noble concubine felt that if she told the eldest princess the truth at this time, the other party might have the desire to strangle her to death, and she must carefully consider the possibility of having another one after ascending the throne.
So, this matter can't be said now! ! !
The author has something to say:
Concubine Gui (seriously): Ah Shao, please do A Niang a favor.
Zhong Shao (unknown): What are you busy with?
Concubine Gui (patting shoulders): For the sake of A-Niang's happiness, you and A-Mo must withstand the pressure of mother-in-law's birth!
Zhong Shao: ...
