Chapter 243
Chapter 243
Before King Yong came, Jiang She was watching Xu Su play chess with Li Zhi.
The chess game in this world is like a battlefield. If the two sides are evenly matched, a wrong move can lead to thousands of mistakes. If you are not careful, you will lose the whole game. The tiredness will make the viewers have to be worried, hold their breath and concentrate, and refuse to miss it easily.
But there is not much suspense in the current round. One is smooth and watertight, and the other is thinking hard and full of loopholes. In fact, the outcome has been decided as early as the moment of the game.
Finally, Xu Su ran into the deadlock set by Li Zhi again, clinging to the veteran who had run into walls everywhere and had nowhere to go, he was red-eyed but refused to give up, clamoring for another round.Li Zhi made fun of him for a few words, but finally he agreed with his sworn promise for the last time, reiterated the last game, and then returned the chess pieces he had taken.
Jiang She also laughed at the side, watching the two return to the chessboard and fight again, but the pattern was basically the same as before, and his mind unconsciously drifted away, falling to the real bloody battle.
Ever since the prince promised to help her, she suppressed her thoughts and waited, and the prince really lived up to expectations. Three months ago, Emperor Zhaoning finally agreed to let her return to the cold.When the decree came down, she was very happy, but unfortunately, before the trip was made, Sima Wanghui of Yuzhou Prefecture handed over an urgent note for eight hundred miles.
It was only later that she heard from Xu Su that the messenger came into the city in the middle of the night and fell under the horse when he opened the city gate.In it, weeping blood every word, saying that mobs rebelled, ransacked two warehouses, bandits from all over the country came together, and trapped the people in fire and water.
In her lifetime, she never thought that the civil strife started first.Although there have long been rumors in Beijing that there is a severe drought in Yuzhou and famine is rampant, she always feels that her words are too exaggerated. If there is a famine, the guards in Yuzhou will not be ignorant of the seriousness, and they should have written the book; and what about Emperor Zhaoning? Ridiculous, Deng Gun's lessons are before him, and he will not treat human life like a child's play; moreover, after he ascended the throne, although the military affairs of various states are absurd, they should not be so incompetent. Strange food is exhausted?
But no matter what the truth is, the rebellion has already occurred, and this urgent need can only be solved first.Emperor Zhaoning summoned He Xiang, Fan Sikong and others into the palace overnight, and after discussing, he appointed Shi Wendu as a general, assembled a large army, and went north to calm the chaos.
Shi Wendu was also a famous general after the founding of the country, and his ancestor Shi Mao Suitai.His ancestor fought in the South and the North, and made great achievements, which were passed down to his generation. The eldest brother Xijue was named General Huaihua, and he was born in martial arts, and he was promoted step by step.In the eyes of Emperor Zhaoning and his ministers, sending them to suppress bandits and quell chaos must be overkill.
Jiang She was a little worried, he felt that Shi Wendu came from a famous family, but the peace was long, firstly, he had never led an army, and secondly, his subordinates were not soldiers who fought for a long time, so he invited him to go north with the army.
Emperor Zhaoning only rejected her lightly, saying that she was a mere rogue, not a problem, and she didn't need to worry about it; since she couldn't accompany her, she was afraid that Mobei would know about it and the border would be unstable, so she asked to go north by Qingzhou. I know that the next day there will be reports from Qingzhou and Jinzhou, as well as rioters.Emperor Zhaoning and the Empress Dowager did not allow her to leave, they just waited for the road to be cleared before sending her back to Liangzhou.
After all, Liangzhou has Jiang Qi sitting in the township, so there is no need to worry about you and Bingzhou a little bit, but she still can't let go of the war in Yuzhou. Unfortunately, she begged several times but failed to do so.At that time the prince was already seriously ill, comatose all day long, and unable to speak for her, she had no choice but to give up, but she always felt a little uneasy.
However, recent good news has been repeated frequently, and it has been proved that her worries are just groundless.She has also read the book of war, and there is nothing too big to miss, thinking that no matter how little experience the government soldiers have, they will still be serious in the end, more than enough to deal with a gang of mobs, and there is a report the day before yesterday, saying that the army has arrived at the city of Luoyang, and it will not be too long Capture the head of the thief.
It is said that the progress is very fast, she should be relieved, but for some reason, she always feels restless when she gets up today.Due to the danger of mountains and rivers, Luoyang is easy to defend and difficult to attack. What's more, there is plenty of food and grass, and the hearts of the people are there. If you are eager to attack, you may not be able to attack.In her opinion, it should be surrounded and not sent out, and moderately benevolent, so that it can make it mess up and have a chance to make peace without fighting.
She had made a point of this, but she still didn't get the approval of Emperor Zhaoning and the ministers of the Ministry of War. On the contrary, she was too careful.The state has national laws, and the crime of treason is unforgivable. When Luoyang is captured, the leader of the bandit can be severely punished and the rest of the party will be pardoned. What is Huairou at this time?Indeed, Svendo's momentum was overwhelming all the way. No matter how the rebels fought against the enemy, their morale would be severely damaged after all.Maybe it was her overthinking again, I heard that Xue Xinghu, the leader of the rebel army, is just a mere villager, even if he is a genius, it is impossible to completely gather the hearts of the army in a short period of time, and he can also set up tricks in reverse.Just like the situation before him, Xu Su was about to fall into a trap again, but he didn't realize it.
A novice who doesn't know how to play chess only looks at the near side, but he doesn't know that the overall situation is lost early, so how can he have a chance of winning?
Just as she was thinking like this, Xu Su really jumped into that trap the next moment, and then reached a point where there was no way out.Li Zhi said the word "general" with a smile, but he was still at a loss. After two or three rounds, he realized that he was at the end of his rope. He lowered his head and stared at it for a while, then suddenly pushed the chessboard forward, and was finally discouraged. Said: "Come on, let's go, it's the last round, it seems that I'm still not suitable for this kind of entertainment, you two can continue to play if you want to play." Saying that, he got up and greeted Jiang Yuan, "Let's go, let's compare arrows Go, alas, I finally got such an opportunity, but I am not included in the battle, and I can only live a dry addiction..." Seeing that Li Zhi and Jiang She looked up at him, he immediately explained, "Of course I didn't mean It's good to fight, but since the fight has started..."
He was only halfway through speaking when he suddenly heard a sneer, his face turned a little ugly, and he muttered in a low voice, "It's rare for Hugh to take a shower, but he's here to make trouble again, what a disappointment."
Jiang She was interrupted by him, and then he came back to his senses. After all, she was not there in person, and she could not judge the situation accurately. She sighed slightly in her heart, then put away her thoughts, stood up with Li Zhi, bowed her head , I want to salute the visitor.
But the man only said coldly "Excuse me", stepped forward quickly, grabbed her hand, and said hastily: "You come here alone."
Jiang She was taken aback, and almost pushed him away, but fortunately he suppressed it in time, looked up, and saw that the little prince's expression was always impatient, and Jiang Yong showed a picture behind De Yuan. With a bitter face, Jiang She immediately understood what he meant. He was ashamed that he failed to stop the master and servant this time, and he failed to notify in advance.She shook her head slightly to indicate that it was okay, Jiang Yong retreated knowingly, while King Yong held her still and was still urging her to go quickly, Jiang She was really not sure which song to sing again, he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, After thinking about it for a while, he smiled and said, "I don't know Your Highness..."
"Let's talk on the road." Yong Wang gave her an angry look, "Is this king going to harm you?"
On the way?Jiang She didn't feel his heart sinking slightly, but Xu Su didn't take it seriously, but King Yong glanced at his expression, and immediately became angry again.Xu Su could hardly bear to talk back, Li Zhi hurriedly tugged him quietly, tentatively trying to smooth things over, but he just yelled at the lord, but he was coldly cut off: "I don't have time to argue with him, Jiang Ruling, are you going with me or not?"
This little prince never gave people face, he always named him by name, Li Zhi had no choice but to keep his mouth shut in a sensible manner.
Jiang She had no choice but to say: "Even if Your Highness refuses to say it clearly, if you want to go out, you have to change your clothes."
King Yong's face darkened, "This king said that there is no delay, so don't insist on drinking fine wine."
Jiang She followed him and glanced at De Yuan. Of course she knew that the white eunuch was not easy to mess with. She sighed in her heart and finally compromised: "I just obey my orders."
King Yong snorted, let go of her hand, and strode forward.
Jiang She gave Xu Su and Li Zhi a helpless look, and then followed before King Yong urged again.Jiang Yuan picked up his steps very naturally, but Yong Wang turned his head and said, "A Yuan, you don't have to come."
Jiang Yuan didn't stop immediately, and stood still calmly after Jiang She nodded to her.
King Yong snorted again, before throwing his sleeves away.
As soon as he left, Xu Su let out a long breath and complained in a low voice while staring at the door: "Why don't you have time to argue with me? Isn't he the one who provoked me first? This man is so old that he doesn't have any Improve a little."
Li Zhi took it for granted, and didn't try to persuade him. He listened to his muttered speculations, and secretly wondered what kind of tricks the little prince could come up with. Feeling: I am afraid that this temperament is really doomed, and it is really not easy to improve.
