Dragon Queen

The news that Zhu Zhong led [-] troops to northern Xinjiang soon reached Fu Zizhou's ears.There are [-] permanent troops in Gyeonggi, and now [-] are dispatched, which is when the troops are empty.But Fu Zizhou was admiring flowers and playing birds in the mansion, he really regarded himself as an idle prince.

Fang Shuo stayed in the Zhennan Palace and also got the news. Seeing that Fu Zizhou had done nothing, he was surprised, so he took an opportunity to test his words.

Holding the birdcage, Fu Zizhou shook his head, "The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows."

If Fu Zizhou sent troops to enter the capital, he would have to pass through four major and three minor gates, among which Luanling is the most difficult, the general guarding the city is the young emperor's confidant, he has already spoken many times, unexpectedly he will be insulted instead.The guards of the two gates to the south of Luanling have been bought off, while the attitudes of the four gates to the north are ambiguous.

There are 40 troops stationed at Daguan, [-] troops stationed at Xiaoguan, and [-] troops stationed in Southern Xinjiang. All the way to the north, they were attrition, battles, and unfamiliar terrain. It is winter and the weather is unfavorable.In addition, Li Jingxiao of Nanzhao was watching fiercely. If he dispatched troops to leave, southern Yunnan would fall immediately.

Now, be careful not to be caught by the little emperor, and sit still, that's a good plan.

If it is said that the good thing Zhao Feng did was to transfer all these princes away from the capital, no matter which one wants to fight, he has to weigh it carefully.

But if you want to enclose yourself, it's not difficult.

But if Fu Zizhou is that kind of person who has no ambitions, he is not Fu Zizhou.

Fang Shuo understood what Fu Zizhou meant, but wondered why Nanzhao remained silent for so long.Northern Liang has already attacked Zhao State, taking advantage of this opportunity, Nanzhao should also come north, and then the two sides will compete for supremacy in Zhao State's land.

It's not like Zhezhu's style to retreat like this.

Ao Shuofang regards Zhao country as a battlefield, but he doesn't know that the battlefield has already been decided.

Northern Liang has invaded the border and has already attacked Jiuguo Pass. The guard of Jiuguo City is called Zhang Hehuan, the younger brother of Ji Zhengqing's wife. He is twenty-six years old, as old as Ji Zhengqing's son.

Hearing that the superior sent a general down, Zhang He didn't take it seriously.When he saw Zhu Chong, Zhang He Huan was secretly startled.This person's appearance is imposing, and there is a sense of coldness between his brows, it seems that he is not easy to get along with.

"How do you return the last general chapter? I don't know how to call it?"

"Zhu Chong." Zhezhu handed over the weapon to his followers, and Sui Zhanghe returned it to the tent.

The two sat down separately, Zhang He smiled and said: "Lord Zhu came from a long way, and the last general should have taken care of him, but now the war is so tight that there is no time to prepare many things, I hope you will not blame him."

"No problem." Zhezhu said.

Zhang He choked for a moment, and asked tentatively, "My lord doesn't seem to like talking much?"

In the army, if you want to command the formation of troops, you must speak for the superiors so that the subordinates can understand them. After all, those who are born in the army are the few who have read books. Although concise and concise words are good, if you are confused, you are afraid of losing the battle. .

Zhezhu also understood this truth, so he didn't feel offended by Zhang Hehuan's question, but he still answered simply, "It's always been like this."

Zhang He blinked, "Then... I wonder what your lord's plan is now?"

Zhe Zhu straightened out his thoughts and said, "Let Master Zhang explain the situation to me."

Zhang He had been stationed in Jiuguo for more than three years. He was very familiar with the terrain and the deployment of troops here. He even knew exactly how many crenels there were on the city wall.

There were originally 5 defenders in Jiuguo City, but due to continuous fighting, only about [-] people can still go to battle to kill the enemy.

Referring to the number of soldiers and horses, Zhang He also very euphemistically mentioned the problem of insufficient food in the city.

There are only 7 permanent garrison troops in Jiuguo, and 8 were forced to requisition. The city has been closed for nearly a month, and the surplus food is already tight. If only the original [-] people are supplied, it can last for half a month. Now there are another [-] people, seven days is enough limit.

Zhang He really wanted to find out if there was any follow-up.Unexpectedly, Zhe Zhu had already guessed his thoughts, and said very directly: "Master Zhang is disappointed."

Zhang He also sighed.

Zhezhu said: "Order the defenders in the city to wait for orders in the school grounds."

Zhang He also thought that when the new official took office, he still had to look good, so he asked the messengers to pass it on.

As soon as the order was issued, the soldiers immediately came to the school grounds and lined up.The 8 people brought by Zhezhu were also present, but separated from the left and right, which seemed quite distinct.

These soldiers waited in the school grounds for a long time, but no one came for a long time, and some of them began to whisper to the acquaintances next to them, nothing more than saying bad things about the newcomers.

Zhezhu studied the terrain of Jiuguo carefully before following Zhang He to Jiangtai.Standing on the left and right sides of the platform were big cowhide drums. Zhe Zhu grabbed the drum sticks and said to Zhang He, "Master Zhang, beat the drums with me three times."

Zhang He didn't know what Zhe Zhu meant, so he looked at the cowhide drum and said, "I obey."

The drumsticks landed on the drum, three loud bangs, and then abruptly.

The sudden sound surprised all the soldiers below, and they reacted differently. Some immediately returned to their positions, some didn't understand what it meant, and some just ignored it.

Zhezhu looked at the 10,000+ people in the school field, and when they all calmed down, he stepped down from the general platform and counted out the people one by one.

Liu Teng has entered the territory of the Western Jin Dynasty.She was alone, so she was much faster than Zhezhu leading the army.

After entering the state of Jin, Liu Ting did not hide her identity, and waited for the Emperor Jin to come to find her in person.

A few days later, at the inn where Liu Ting was staying, there was indeed someone waiting for her.

Liu Ting followed the envoy all the way to the imperial city, and met the Emperor Jin without hindrance.

But he also saw the envoy from Beiliang.Immediately thinking of Zhao Zhouxing's conjectures, they matched them one by one.It has been a long time since Beiliang envoys arrived in the Western Jin Dynasty, and they brought a lot of money and gifts. The emperor of Jin has promised not to attack Beiliang, and is preparing to form an alliance.

Liu Teng suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy. Fortunately, Zhao Zhouxing only asked the Western Jin Dynasty to be at ease and not to join the war. The biggest task now is to persuade the Emperor Jin not to form an alliance with Beiliang.

Liu Ting didn't know Emperor Jin's temper. Although he had some concerns, he just observed from the sidelines and never took any action.

Emperor Jin attached great importance to Liu Teng. On the one hand, he had the intention of redeeming his mistakes, and on the other hand, he seemed to want to use this to establish the image of the new emperor.Liu Teng stayed with him for a few days and found that Emperor Jin was not a warlike person.The reason why they can accept the Beiliang Covenant is because Beiliang promised not to harass the border.

This kind of personality, to put it mildly, is cowardly and incompetent.

Liu Ting didn't expect the new emperor of Jin to be such a character, but he felt a little relieved because of this.

One day, Emperor Jin talked to Liu Ting about the award and asked Liu Ting what reward he wanted.

Liu Ting sighed.

Emperor Jin felt strange and asked her why she sighed.

Liu Teng said: "Now the state of Jin is like walking on thin ice, and the emperor still has the heart to reward his subordinates, which really makes the subordinates heartbroken!"

Emperor Jin wondered: "How can this be? Although the border has been invaded by Beiliang all year round, it is a good thing that Beiliang sent envoys to talk about peace this time. Where did this statement come from?"

"Beiliang sent envoys to form an alliance with our country. On the surface, it seems to be seeking peace. But now the army of Beiliang is attacking Zhao, and the alliance with our country at this time is just to use the alliance to coerce the emperor to send troops to Zhao. If the emperor does not If you agree to send troops, Beiliang is ambitious and will definitely tear up the covenant and invade our frontiers. If you agree to send troops, what good will it do for Jin if Beiliang captures Zhao?" Liu Ting analyzed, "What's more, Beiliang and Zhao Guozheng The fight is in full swing, and Beiliang has no spare troops to harass our country's borders, so forming an alliance to seek peace is absolutely not necessary! Now that the two countries are at war, there is no time for others, which is a great opportunity for the development of our country. At that time, whether it is The victory of Zhao State or the victory of Liang State will result in losses for both sides. And when Jin State becomes stronger, how dare Northern Liang invade again and again?"

After some words, Emperor Jin has been trapped by Liu Ting's logic, thinking left and right, all are correct, so he said: "What Qing said is very reasonable. But how should we deal with the Beiliang envoy?"

Liu Ting thought for a while, "This is not a problem. The emperor just needs to keep them and not talk about the covenant. When the time comes, they will naturally go back."

The snow this winter seems to be endless, and it often clears up for a long time before it starts to fall again.

In the middle of the night, a man stood outside the palace gate, wearing civilian clothes, trembling. After a while, the palace gate opened, and the man walked in immediately.

Bai Yao followed Zhai Xin, the commander of the Forbidden Army, and saw almost no one on the way. The nearby palace was completely dark because Zhao Zhouxing hadn't accepted his concubine yet, so there was no one there.

Zhao Zhouxing looked at the excerpts that he could never finish reading in his life, and heard someone knock on the door a few times, and Zhai Xin's voice sounded outside, "Your Majesty."

Zheng Fuhai went to open the door, let Bai Yao in, and closed the door again.

Zhao Zhouxing closed the booklet and told Zheng Fuhai to fetch a stove.

Bai Yao rubbed her hands, saw Zhao Zhouxing turned around, and knelt down, "I kowtow to the emperor."

"Get up." Zhao Zhouxing gave him a little support, "It's really not easy for Master Bai to come back safely."

Bai Yao smiled, and he rolled back to the capital half a month later than expected, "The minister's nickname is Goudan, his first name is three soils, his name is cheap, and the King of Hell will not accept him."

Zheng Fuhai brought the stove, Zhao Zhouxing took it and handed it to Bai Yao, "Don't rub it, keep warm."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhao Zhouxing nodded, and for some reason he nodded, "It's the twelfth lunar month. I think everyone should have a good year. After the twelfth lunar month is the first day of the new year, and after the first day is the first year of the lunar new year. There must be a head for such a good day. "

Bai Yao is here, and suddenly he heard Zhao Zhouxing's voice, "Bai Yao, the servant of Zhongshu, accepts the order."

Bai Yao was so frightened that she "thumped" and knelt down. She lost her grip on the stove and fell to the ground, and then secretly pulled it back and took it in her hand.

Zhao Zhouxing frowned, "—I don't respect the demeanor before the holy car, it's disrespectful. Accepting orders and failing to return after the deadline is dereliction of duty. Accepting people's property is corruption. Immediately put in the prison and wait to be punished."

Seeing Bai Yao holding the stove and not letting go, she snorted, "This stove is a reward for you. Come—"

The commander of the forbidden army had been waiting outside the door, but when he heard the order, he immediately came in and took Bai Yao down.

The warm pavilion immediately became quiet again.

"The court will be closed tomorrow."

Zheng Fuhai took a look at Zhao Zhouxing's meaning, and hurriedly said, "I understand." Isn't it just to let him go to announce the holiday tomorrow morning?

"Tell them, come see me again after Shangyuan." Zhao Zhouxing rubbed the square corners of the table. Although the corners are square, after polishing, they feel rounder to the touch. "A banquet on New Year's Eve, banquet..."

Zheng Fuhai waited for orders, but he waited for Zhao Zhouxing to sigh.

There is no banquet.
