Empress and Empress

In March, the grass grows and the warblers fly, and the spring is cold.

Shen Bing looked indifferently at the Weirong City in front of him. Behind him were [-] black-clothed soldiers, all of whom were holding long spears. Although the strong bow behind them had not been drawn, it could still be seen from a distance that it was enough to shoot Wear the armor of a soldier.The treasured sword on his waist has not been unsheathed, but the murderous aura has already spread to the soldiers guarding the city.

Behind the army in black, there are [-] infantry attacking the city.With a sharp weapon for siege, he stood behind the army in black.The huge log can be clearly seen by anyone far away from the city wall.

These 10 people, even half a year ago, would not have been able to stand alone in front of Weirong City, but now everyone in the city is terrified.I am afraid that they will attack the city.

Before Shen Bing left, he had already received Yuan Xingye's order to wait for three days, and if Quan Rong didn't surrender, he would launch an attack.A piece of black, giving people a great pressure, the most important thing is that these 10 people did not make a sound except for the occasional neighing of horses.It looks like a ghost about to harvest life.

On the black military flag of the army in black, the big Shen characters fluttered in the wind.Under the blowing of the spring breeze, the military flag carried a faint killing intent.

This is already the third day, and when the sun rises, Shen Bing will attack the city.

In Weirong City, Ye Lihe sat on the throne, looking at the civil and military officials below.Today's Quan Rong has no generals who can fight, and most of them were killed in the black wind city.The head of the civil servants was Mi Qinkuo who was sent as an envoy.The military division stood beside him, and now Ye Lihe had gray hair all over his head, and his whole body had aged overnight.

Now the vast majority of people want to surrender, but they dare not speak out because they are afraid of the unrest.

"Military Master, if you surrender, do you think Emperor Daqi will treat our family well?" Ye Lihe asked.The military adviser hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Khan, Qiguo is a big country. Since ancient times, many foreign countries have integrated into it, and they have received very good treatment."

Ye Lihe nodded, and many people who sat down looked happy.The military commander sighed, and then said, "But this time I am afraid there will be difficulties. Emperor Daqi He once fought against the dog army when he was young. At that time, the dog army negotiated peace and paid tribute. Now that the collegial agreement is torn up, Emperor He may not be like this this time." Let us go easily."

A civil official said, "Then what will Emperor Daqi do?"

"If they surrender, the Great Khan and the civil and military officials will all die." The military commander said indifferently, "But the common people can survive, and our family has a place in the beautiful Central Plains."

Ye Lihe nodded gratifiedly, "In this case, it doesn't matter if Ben Khan dies. If the people forget it, Ben Khan survives alone, what face does he have to live on?"

"Great Khan, absolutely not." Mi Qinkuo cried, "It's better to bear the humiliation and bear the burden of humiliation than to endure the humiliation and taste the courage. When the Great Qi declines in the future, our family will surely make a comeback, Khan."

The military division looked at the people standing below and shook his head.Turning his head, he saw Ye Lihe was looking at him.Ye Lihe couldn't help coughing for a moment, and then said, "It's better for the military division to leave here. The military division is not a member of my clan, so you don't have to accompany my clan to die." He looked at the people below, and said angrily, "The dog army is dead. What face do you have to live on in spite of yourself. You can only die and thank the world."

The military commander suddenly walked down the hall and said, "Although the dog army has no power to resist, the minister still has the heart to fight. The minister left here. If the Khan trusts the minister, the minister will come back in five days. But now even the minister has no power to fight." The power to return to heaven."

Ye Lihe nodded, "Military divisions can act on their own."

The military division looked at Ye Lihe, although this man has always been reckless and barbaric, he is not difficult to talk to the monarch, and he is even more courteous to himself.Paying a deep obeisance to Ye Lihe, the military division walked down the hall.

"Khan---" Many generals looked anxious, and Ye Lihe waved their hands. It would be good if the military division can leave.He turned to the general below, "Tell Shen Bing, come if you want to attack the city!"

It wasn't that he was reluctant to part with his own life, but he also knew that even if these soldiers surrendered, they would inevitably die in the end.Yuan Xingye would not leave a trace of dangerous fire behind.Since everyone is going to die, it is better to die on the battlefield and die with dignity.

"Let the common people hide and don't come out and move around. Now let Ben Khan and Shen Bing fight to the death." Ye Li laughed together.

Shen Bing looked at Wei Rong blowing the horn, with a smile on his lips, he and Ye Lihe had fought so many times, this time it will be over.

Both sides blew their horns, and the vast and desolate sound resounded through the world.Shen Bing's cloak was blown by the wind, he raised his long sword, and said lightly, "Siege the city."

On the road between Youzhou and Heifeng City, countless cavalry are galloping, and the big Peizi on the military flag is waving in the wind.Pei Shiyuan was at the front in white armor, he raised his head and looked ahead.He only brought cavalry, even if he went all out, it would take a day to reach Weirong City.Considering the physical strength of horses and people, it would take two days at the fastest to reach Weirong City.

There are only Shen Bing's black-clothed army and the [-] siege army under Zangqi under the city. The mighty army is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if the dog army is already as strong as the last, it is still unknown whether it can be captured.

At night, Zang Qi was checking the defense on the city wall. The dog army was still alive, and he would not slack off for a day.He was dressed in white and held a folding fan in his hand. He looked like a young man playing around.It's just that none of his lieutenants would underestimate him.

Zang Qi was looking at the city wall, and suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance.After a while, he heard the sound of rumbling horseshoes. Zang Qi raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile, "It's rare that General Pei is so impatient." He waved his hand, "Light the torch. I don't think General Pei will enter the city."

Pei Shiyuan really didn't intend to enter the city. He saw a lot of torches on the walls of Heifeng City from a distance, illuminating the surroundings exceptionally brightly.A man in white stood on the city wall, cupping his hands at him.

Pei Shiyuan also bowed his hand in return, and led the cavalry to run under Heifeng City.The dust from the horseshoes rose almost to the city.It took a full hour for the last cavalry to go to Black Wind City.

When the people in the city heard the noise, many good people came out to check it out. They were not allowed to walk freely on the city wall, but there were many damaged places in Black Wind City that could still be seen outside.Looking at the dusty but still murderous cavalry, many people were a little timid.

Many of these people were former residents of Black Wind City, and some had migrated from other villages. This was the first time they looked at the cavalry like this, and they were a little scared.

"It's amazing, this is not the most powerful black-clothed army and Xiaowuwei." A soldier changing guard said.The person with good deeds asked, "Then this is the third most powerful?"

The soldiers shook their heads, "The Marshal has the most cavalry under his command. Except for the Black Clothes Army and Xiao Wuwei, each commander has half of the cavalry under his command. This is basically the case. The same is true for the cavalry of the Seventh General Tibetan."

The people looked at Zang Qi, who came down from the city wall, dressed in white and smiling.I no longer dare to have a little resistance in my heart.Most of them are of mixed blood of Han Chinese and Quan Rong, which is not unacceptable to Da Qi.

It's just that Shen Bing who was attacking the city, Pei Shiyuan who was rushing on the way, and Zang Qi who was defending the city didn't notice, they passed them silently and rushed to Youzhou.He was dressed in black, and he didn't ride a horse, but traveled lightly, as if he could fly, gliding through the air effortlessly.

Early the next morning, after Xia Zimo finished washing and dressing up, Yuan Xingye pulled her over, took out a pearl tassel waffle from his bosom, and put it on her head.

Xia Zimo was helpless, Yuan Xingye seemed to be addicted to giving things, and would give her something every few days, either a step or a jade pendant, both of which were more precious than elegant.Yuan Xingye's items were all trophies obtained before. They were originally in the capital, so she asked someone to bring them over.

"I don't have a place to put these things if it goes on like this." Xia Zimo said, Yuan Xingye was reluctant to give it away to her.As he said that, his eyes were already curled up with a smile. "I will become more and more self-willed if I continue to be pampered like this."

"It's good if you like it." Yuan Xingye smiled, "I like pampering you like this." Xia Zimo blushed, remembering the rubbing of ears and temples last night.Couldn't help but give Yuan Xingye a hammer.

"After dinner, I will go to the Prefect's Mansion. Some officials have been sent by the court to take over Black Wind City. I want to take a look." Xia Zimo said.Yuan Xingye nodded, "I'm going to the big tent, Shen Bing has a military report."

"Then I'll wait for you in the prefect's mansion." Xia Zimo said, Yuan Xingye nodded, "Take all your hidden guards." Xia Zimo's hidden guards are the remaining 90 people.Now he is dedicated to protecting Xia Zimo in the dark.

After breakfast, Yuan Xingye sent Xia Zimo out of the barracks. After walking a few steps, Xia Zimo looked back.Yuan Xingye was looking at him at the entrance of the barracks.She smiled and waved, Yuan Xingye also smiled and waved.

Unable to say why, Xia Zimo suddenly felt like crying, as if he would never see him again after leaving.She shook her head, pushing those thoughts out of her mind.Now even He Di couldn't easily be unfavorable to them.

After Xia Zimo's figure disappeared, Yuan Xingye turned around and went to the big tent to deal with the military situation.Xia Zimo did not take the sedan chair, but walked to the prefect's mansion. Liang Ming was already waiting for her in the courtyard.Behind Liang Ming were more than a dozen officials sent by the court.These dozen or so people will stay in Youzhou, and the rest will go to Black Wind City.

Although the dog army is defeated now, Youzhou and Heifeng City are both places of bitter cold, and the officials sent here are all people with little influence.Seeing Xia Zimo, the officials fell to their knees.

"Meet the Master Supervisor."

Xia Zimo sat aside, waved and said, "Get up!" She looked at these people carefully, He Di sent so many people at once, and she couldn't control them all, but Youzhou and Black Wind City are definitely not allowed Let others step in.After saying a few diligent words, these people retreated.

In order to show his favor, Emperor He handed over the official positions of these people to her and Yuan Xingye to arrange.However, the highest rank of these officials, Heifengzhi County, is only the seventh rank, and the rank is not high.

Liang Ming stepped forward and said in a low voice, "My lord, among these people, two low-ranking officials know each other, and the others are top-ranked Jinshi in recent years. There is no background."

Xia Zimo nodded, "Which one of these people do you think is qualified to be the magistrate of Heifeng County?"

Liang Mingdao, "There is a man named Zhou Ziyang, who is a rare talent." Liang Mingdao hesitated when he spoke, and Xia Zimo said, "It's okay to say anything."

"This time Zhou Ziyang writes a pen, his official career will be smooth sailing, but he offended Concubine Li Gui's family. Moreover, he is conceited of his talent and learning, so he would not accept anyone's solicitation."

Xia Zimo nodded, "Since this is the case, this person will stay in Youzhou, and I will trouble Mr. Liang to be careful. Do you know this person named Liang Ping?"

Liang Ming bowed his head and said, "To be honest, my lord, this person is the nephew of the lower official's family." Xia Zimo nodded. He had some impression of this Liang Ping. When he introduced Liang Ping just now, he was very generous, and he seemed to have a good relationship.Xia Zimo said, "Since this is the case, Liang Ping will be the magistrate of Heifeng City temporarily."

Liang Ming was taken aback for a moment, and then said happily, "Thank you so much, Master Supervisor." It was the first time he had benefited from joining Xia Zimo's party.He knew in his heart that it was Xia Zimo who was beating him secretly.

"Your Majesty Liang, you must pay special attention. After you, Youzhou must have someone you can trust." Xia Zimo said flatly.Liang Ming said, "Yes, I understand." It seems that Xia Zimo will return to Beijing, and the date of his return to Beijing is not far away.

Xia Zimo handed over the list to Liang Ming and asked him to inform everyone, while he sat in the courtyard with Xiaoyu.Xiaoyu served the tea obediently, Xia Zimo took a sip, and the taste was very fragrant.She couldn't help but nodded, "It's rare that Hoshino asked someone to send you the Dragon Well before Yu."

It was a good season for Longjing before the Qingming Festival, and Yuan Xingye sent some people to send it quickly.Xiaoyu said behind her, "The marshal is really caring." She would be a fool if she didn't understand anything now, but she also knew that she would die if she told this matter.

Xia Zimo nodded, the tassels on her head hung down a little, she reached out to take them off, and put them in her hands to watch.The Bu Yao uses just the right size of pearls.There is still a slight coolness in the hand.

"This swing looks really beautiful." Xiaoyu said, this is not a lie, it is difficult for ordinary women to refuse such an accessory.Before Xia Zimo had anything to say, he heard someone say, "Some people say that a woman's beauty is a disaster, and it's true."
