Reverse Junhou

The battle at Yandang Pass was approaching step by step, and the gunpowder smoke rose again outside the pass, and a large number of people fled south with their families.

All towns in Gyeonggi opened their gates to accept refugees, but day after day, more and more people poured into the pass.Many towns were short of food storage and were overwhelmed, so they had to settle the refugees going south in temporary camps outside the city.

It has been a few days since the Yulin Army set up camp and headed north, the imperial court dispatched [-] troops to the Yandang Pass, which seemed to be a reassurance to the people in the northern border.The number of teams fleeing from the north to the south in the wind and snow was much smaller than the previous few days.However, due to heavy snowstorms, patrolling soldiers outside the city had to remove many unknown people who died of hunger and freezing from their tents every day and transport them to mass graves in the suburbs.

Reports from the refugees were sent to Guangyang one after another from the surrounding counties and counties.

Emperor Jingyang ordered the prince to stay in the south to prevent changes.After receiving the order, Zhao Qimiao immediately sent back a private letter sealed with a red lacquer seal to Beijing, and it went straight to Wen Xuechao's hands.

The concubine diagnosed the happy pulse before the prince left Beijing. He didn't tell the world about it, but only Wen Xuechao.

Zhao Qimiao said in the letter that Guangyang is now in danger, and many people are eyeing it.Ask Wen Xuechao to keep Zhu Rong's pregnancy a secret and take good care of the princess before he returns to Beijing.

Between the lines is the joy of being a father.A peach blossom was also attached at the end of the letter, and asked Wen Xuechao to pass it on.

Wen Xuechao put the letter raft in his sleeve, thought for a moment, and set off for the Prince's Mansion.

The winding paths in the backyard of the Prince's Mansion lead to seclusion, and there are many cold pines, and the winter scenery is quite elegant.As soon as Wen Xuechao walked into the inner courtyard with the steward, he saw many beautiful maids standing around the corridor, looking at the frozen lake in the courtyard with trepidation.

"Master Wen, please wait for a while, I'll go and invite your empress right now." The housekeeper bowed and said.

Wen Xue nodded, looking at the figure leaping in the air on the frozen lake.

It was cold at the end of the year, Zhu Rong wore a brown sable coat, tied her long hair high with a jade belt, and stood on a frozen lake practicing sword.Holding a sword flower in her hand, she tapped the lake surface and stabbed straight towards the pine trees beside the lake.Seeing the ice break where the princess passed by, the maids on the corridor all exclaimed, worried that the empress would fall into the lake just like that.

From the corner of his eyes, Zhu Rong caught a glimpse of Wen Xuechao's figure on the bank, retracted his sword halfway, stepped on the bluestone on the bank, and turned towards the crowd.She fluttered down in front of the visitor, raised her willow eyebrows, and exuded a heroic spirit: "Yo, Wen Ji."

Wen Xue smiled: "I haven't seen you for a long time, but your empress looks healthy."

As soon as Zhu Rong heard about Xue Chao, she knew that he was here to discuss private matters with her.She waved her hand to get everyone in the courtyard to retreat, and then led Wen Xuechao into the courtyard: "Since you have become a high official, it is even more difficult to see you than to go to the sky." After Yu Ba turned her head and glanced at Wen Xuechao , sighed: "It's still cuter when I was young."

"Your Majesty is my cousin, Wen Yuping should avoid suspicion in Japan." Wen Xue didn't change her face.

He and Zhu Rong have known each other for many years, they were friends when they were young, and they did a lot of flirting with willows and flowers in the capital.Back then, Zhu Rong didn't want to marry into the Prince's Mansion, so he conspired with Wen Xuechao to make the scene of "chaos at first and abandonment at last".Now one person has become the crown prince and concubine, and the other is an important minister in the court, and they are no longer as unrestrained as they were back then.

Zhu Rong found a handkerchief and wiped off the sweat on his forehead: "Finally, why did you come to see me today?"

"Wen Ji congratulates the empress first." Wen Xue said with a smile.

A trace of surprise flashed across Zhu Rong's face: "Zhao Qimiao...has already told you?"

"Your Majesty is worthy of being born in the general's mansion. She is pregnant with a dragon heir and can still keep her sword in her hand."

Zhu Rong knew that Wen Ji was going round and round to ridicule himself, so he glared at him, and said with a sneer, "Could it be that Zhao Qimiao asked you to be a lobbyist when you came to the mansion? Others make irresponsible remarks."

Wen Xuechao said nothing, just took out a letter from his sleeve: "Cousin asked me to hand it to you in person."

When Zhu Rong saw the peach petals stuck to the end of the letter, he was stunned, but instead of taking the raft, he turned his head away and murmured in a low voice: "It's all useless."

Wen Xuechao continued: "Your Majesty sent the Fifth Prince to lead the Habayashi Guards to the north to help Yandang Pass, and they left Beijing five days ago."

Zhu Rong froze, and turned around slowly, with a face full of disbelief: "The emperor sent Zhao Fengci to go out?"

Before Wen Xuechao could answer, she closed her eyes and smiled wryly: "That's right, according to his temperament, he must have invited himself to fight."

The fingers holding the back of the chair trembled imperceptibly.After a long time, Zhu Rong finally laughed at himself like a self-deprecating smile: "He swore to the death not to follow our marriage contract, saying that his life was in danger, and he was not thinking about the day and night, so that's what he meant."

Zhu Rong has known since she was sensible that she has made a marriage contract with the eldest grandson of General Zhenbei and the fifth son of the Tian family.When she was a teenager, when she saw the portrait sent by Zhenbei Mansion, she was both surprised and happy.The heroic young man in the painting will be his husband in this life.Later, she heard the adults relish telling how the fifth prince entered the enemy camp alone and beheaded the leader of the Hu people, so she determined to train soldiers and fight in the battlefield with her husband from now on.

Later, she married into the emperor's family as she wished, but her husband was no longer the young man in her dream.

"Wen Ji, Zhao Fengci has always had his own heart." Zhu Rong said suddenly, "I noticed some clues before he left Beijing."

Wen Xuechao paused slightly while drinking tea.

"You and Zhao Fengci have worked together in Duling for several months, but have you ever met his sweetheart? Which family's daughter is it, how old is it, and what kind of family status is it, but is it a descendant?"

Wen Xuechao coughed lowly: "I've never seen it before."

The concubine's Liu Mei frowned slightly: "Could it be someone from the north of the town, Zhao Fengci's childhood sweetheart who grew up?"

Wen Xuechao didn't seem to want to continue talking, so he changed the topic: "The turmoil in northern Xinjiang may be just the beginning. This raid by the Yanqu tribe is a bit strange. If you want to keep the baby in your womb, you need to make plans as soon as possible."

Zhu Rong stroked her still flat belly: "I am a grand princess, so naturally I will advance and retreat with His Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhao Qimiao is now trapped in the southern border, and he does not know when he will be able to return to Beijing.Back then, Zhu Rong had feelings for His Highness the Fifth Highness and was forced to marry the prince for many years. He should have complained in his heart, but Wen Xuechao did not expect her to answer like this.

Zhu Rong looked at the thoughtful man in front of him, and couldn't help but think of Wen Ji when he was young.At that time, he was always full of bad ideas, but he racked his brains to be kind to the people he cared about.How could she not know that Wen Yu was trying to push her aside, even if she left the prince, she still had to find her own way out.

She flicked her hair back, and smiled openly at Wen Xue: "Master Wen, you should take care of yourself. Although Zhu Rong is just a girl, if one day the flames of war really burn to the gate of the city, she can fight to the death with a sword .”

*****

The Habayashi Army marched rapidly for seven consecutive days, and finally arrived at the first city in Yandang Pass, Yunzhou.

Yunzhou is backed by the pass and bordered by Qiu County in the south. It is the closest military town in the sixteen prefectures in the north to the outside of the Great Wall.As soon as Zhao Fengci's team entered Yunzhou City, seeing the scene in Yunzhou City, the atmosphere in the army became heavy.

All the shops and restaurants on the street were closed, and the wine flag outside the inn was badly damaged and fell down in front of the long steps.As we marched, we could only hear the howling of the north wind, but no human voice at all.The entire main city is like a ghost city.

"Where is the prefect of Yunzhou?" Zhao Fengci asked suddenly.

"Reporting to Your Highness, the magistrate has gone to the pass post to deliver food to the defenders." The general judge of Yunzhou knelt and kowtowed, "Your Highness, all the grain stored in Yunzhou has been exhausted. The magistrate has borrowed some grain from Qiu County, and I am afraid it will not be able to last. How long!"

"The imperial court's food aid carts and horses will arrive in a few days, follow me to the pass first."

Zhao Fengci gave an order, and the Yulin army turned their horses around one after another, and headed towards Yandang Pass in a mighty manner.Passing through Zhenbei Mansion, Zhao Feng resigned from the house and ran into the snow without looking back.

Yandang Pass is located in the rolling mountains of northern Xinjiang, and the banner of the Zhenbei Army is planted on the tower, fluttering in the wind.The snow fell so heavily that it was difficult for the Habayashi army to discern the position of the defenders.The messenger listened to Zhao Feng's instructions and blew a low-pitched horn.The sound of the trumpet was like the murmur of a giant gluttonous beast, sweeping the north wind up to the gate tower of the pass.

The watchmen on the top of the city tower took a closer look, and saw a group of cavalry galloping from Yunzhou City amidst the ice and snow.Thousands of Phnom Penh Qinglong army flags were raised in the wind, waving in the wind, covering the sky and the sun.

The lookout soldier let out a mournful cry, and he rushed down the tower with tears on his cheeks: "The reinforcements have arrived! The imperial court's reinforcements have arrived!"

The heavy gate of Yandang Pass was slowly opened, and a gust of cold wind came from outside the pass, almost blowing Habayashiwei's horses over.Zhao Fengci got off his horse and looked up at the person who came to greet him: "Uncle Zhai."

Zhai Mo is Jing Yanglin's deputy general, the general of escort and cavalry appointed by Emperor Jingyang.He looked at the young man walking towards him, his eyes were slightly red.

The last time I saw Zhao Fengci was when he went to Beijing for a funeral a few years ago.Things are different now, and the little general is completely different from the past after his experience in the Eastern Territory.

His chapped lips opened and closed, and it took a long time before he made a hoarse voice: "Young master."

The armor of the middle-aged man in front of him was covered with dust, his face was covered with wind and frost, and he hadn't changed or washed his clothes for a few days.From this point of view, the guards at the pass fought hard at Yandang Pass with a sense of justice.

Zhao Fengci led the Yulin Army to camp along Yunzhou, and was silent all the way.After the army was reorganized, he asked Zhai Mo: "Uncle Zhai, is grandfather still okay?"

Zhai Mo let out a long sigh: "This old thief Yu Chishuo injured the general's spleen and lungs. Although the general has regained consciousness, his vitality has been severely injured and his spirit is not very good. I'm afraid it will take a long time to fully recover."

Zhao Fengci's expression was solemn: "Please trouble Uncle to take me to see my grandfather."

Zhai Mo took Zhao Fengci up to the tower, and saw Jing Yanglin in a dilapidated bedroom.

General Zhenbei's temples were like frost, and his head was covered with white hair.He was lying in the heavy quilt with his eyes closed, his lips were pale and bloodless.Hearing footsteps in the distance, Jing Yanglin frowned slightly, but did not open his eyes.

"General, do you see who is here?" Zhai Mo stepped forward and whispered in Jing Yanglin's ear.

The old man slowly opened his eyes and looked sideways at the figure by the door.Just a quick glance, but the eyes reflected the self 30 years ago.

The general came out of Wuwei as a young man, and entered the palm of the bank to protect Ziwei.

Zhao Fengci knelt down on one knee: "Grandfather, Ci'er led an army of [-] feathers to come to rescue Yandang Pass."

The author has something to say: The general came out of Wuwei as a young man, and entered the palm of the bank to protect Ziwei.From Li Bai's "To General Guo".
