Jiang Qing

By the time the military emergency report reached Pingdu, the North had already fallen to six prefectures.

Meng Yilin was wounded and guarded the last line of defense deep into the hinterland of Li Guofu with Liaocheng prefect. At the same time, his letter finally reached Zhao Zhen's case.

Then Mei Shao invited the Shenyang Army to pacify the north, and met Meng Yilin in Liaocheng more than ten days later to formulate a counterattack plan.

Mei Shao led the Shenyang army to attack Qingqi wading through the ice at night, and won the first battle, forcing Qin Chengtao to retreat from the city. Just as he was about to make a big effort, Qin Chengtao stayed behind closed doors and waited strictly.

Mei Shao sent troops several times but failed to respond. After a stalemate for three or four days, Mei Shao received a secret letter from Li An, saying that Liang Guo sent envoys to Jiang Guo, promised to make great profits, and induced Jiang Wang to borrow a way, and wanted to get from the first line of valley. Enter the border of Le State to defend Han Que Pass, avoid Mei Shao's edge, and attack the north of Li State.

King Jiang's mind was loose, Li Anzheng cleverly said that he would deal with Li Xunshu, try his best to stabilize the situation in Jiang State, and told Mei Shao to make plans early.

At present, the situation in Jiang country has reached a stalemate. After returning to the country, Li An used some means to confirm the fact that the third prince murdered the eldest prince, and put his efforts in sending Li Xunshu to the position of prince. He is now quite trusted under Li Xunshu's command.

In addition, Li Chengji is getting older and has less control over Jiang Guo's affairs. Li An is trying to gain power from it. He hinted that if Mei Shao can delay for two or three months, he will be able to stabilize Jiang Guo's situation. Let Jiang Guo become Mei Shao's worries in regaining lost ground.

Naturally, Mei Shao knew that Li An was in a difficult situation in Jiang Country, so he was able to secretly pass the news to him at the risk, and promised to stabilize the situation in Jiang Country in three months. able to wait.

Even if Mei Shao intends to spend two or three months at the border with Qin Chengtao, Qin Chengtao will not let go of the fat that has already been swallowed in his mouth so easily.

After much deliberation, Mei Shao and Meng Yilin decided to make a fast attack. Before Qin Chengtao could fully convince Li Chengji, he sent elite cavalry to harass Qin Chengtao's forward army.

Mei Shao and Meng Yilin split into two groups, each leading [-] cavalry to attack Qin Chengtao's camp outside. The Liang soldiers abandoned their charge and fled. Eighteen generals, the situation is very good, are about to issue an order to break through the Liang army, Qin Chengtao suddenly ordered gold to withdraw the army, abandoned the rear army, entered the city and closed the city gate.

Mei Shao had no choice but to call Jin Shoubin for the time being. The front road changed to the back road, and the army returned the account. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the cold light behind him. Mei Shao subconsciously raised his gun and looked back to block it. When they came, the city gate suddenly opened wide, and three thousand cavalry rushed out, breaking through Mei Shao's army. The elite guarded Mei Shao tightly and fought and retreated.

"Wu Yu! Jinxi!" Mei Shao covered the wound on his shoulder, glanced at Wu Yu's severed arm on the ground, and gritted his teeth.

He always remembered Wu Yu's kindness in helping him in the west of Shanxi, so he kept one thought out, who knew that he had something to do with Liangguo, and stabbed himself in the back at this critical moment.

To avoid Qin Chengtao's ambush in advance, when returning to the camp, Meng Yilin protected Mei Shao and took another safe route, and when he returned to the camp, Mei Shao was already a little delirious.

Meng Yilin felt something was wrong, and stretched out his hand to press on Mei Shao's injured shoulder...the black blood...

There was poison on the knife edge of Wu Yu's backstab!

-

Inside Jianzhou city.

Wu Yu broke his arm and walked through the gate of hell before saving his life.

As soon as he got better, some Liang soldiers asked him to speak in front of the hall.

Wu Yu glanced lightly at Qin Chengtao, who was sitting above him, and at the people sitting in the hall, standing there neither humble nor overbearing, without making any move.

Qin Chengtao winked, someone added a chair for him, and sat on Qin Chengtao's left hand side.

"I didn't expect it to be you." Qin Chengtao thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "I'm not willing to hand over your father's foundation to others, but can you return to the country of Li with such a move?"

"Jinxi is the Jinxi of the Li State, and I can't go back. If Jinxi is not from the Li State, then I can still earn a little life." Wu Yu said.

"So Master Cao arranged you by Mei Shao's side just for today?" Qin Chengtao asked.

Wu Yu glanced calmly at Qin Chengze who was sitting next to Qin Chengtao, and replied: "The other thing is to pass on a message to His Royal Highness. Mei Shao is unconscious now, and His Royal Highness should take this opportunity to put pressure on Jiang Guo. The road is a line of valleys, and the soldiers attacking Han Que Pass is the best."

Qin Chengtao stroked his wrist and asked, "Will the poisonous plum Shao die?"

"He has a good doctor." That's all Wu Yu said.

"You can't put him to death, what's the use of making such a fuss!" Qin Chengtao gritted his teeth and said, "Li Chengji has soft ears, he only agreed to me today, and tomorrow when Li Xunshu blows the wind in his ears, he will change the direction of the wind again, which is not reliable at all. ! Instead of expecting Li Chengji to let go, it is better to take advantage of the current good situation to relieve the humiliation I suffered in the past."

Wu Yu frowned, thinking that this moody, ignorant and ignorant Crown Prince is really as stupid as the rumors say, and has no scheming plans in the city. He remembered Cao Bai's words and was about to speak out to dissuade the silent Qin Chengze. But he opened his mouth.

Wu Yu immediately swallowed what he wanted to say. Cao Bai had indeed told Qin Chengtao to do everything possible to persuade Lord Jiang Guoguo to follow the path, but what was above all else was to obey Qin Chengze's orders.

Covered by Qin Chengtao's noble status, Qin Chengze is Cao Bai's real partner.

"How is the emperor planning to vent his anger?"

Qin Chengtao was immersed in the anger of being humiliated at the beginning, and he didn't notice the gloom in Qin Chengze's eyes at all.

"I want to marry the person Zhao Zhen refuses to marry."

Qin Chengze seemed to have expected him to say this a long time ago, and there was doubt in his words, but there was no hint of surprise in his eyes, "Princess Jingning is a piece of meat on the tip of Emperor Li's heart."

"I just want to gouge out Zhao Zhen's flesh and blood." Qin Chengtao said bitterly.

-

"Get out, get out of here!"

As soon as Liangguo's envoy left, Zhao Zhen suddenly threw everything on the case to the ground.

Bai Bingchen winked at the young eunuch Shuangxi who was serving him, and Shuangxi hurriedly led the eunuchs and maids in the palace to withdraw.

"Shuzi, how dare you!" The veins on Zhao Zhen's forehead burst out, and he was on the verge of violence.

Bai Bingchen bent down silently, picked up the scattered papers, slowly wrapped up the broken inkstone, and moved it to a place where it was not easy to touch the legs of the table.

"Where's Mei Shao? Call Mei Shao over!" Zhao Zhen roared.

Bai Bingchen's eyes were slightly cold, and he said lightly: "Master Mei's poison has not been completely cured, and she is still lying in bed to recuperate."

"Then Prince Xuancheng, come here!" Zhao Zhen was so angry that he had lost eight or nine points of his reason, "No, order Tong Shen to come back from Wudu and lead the troops to attack, and lead the troops to attack now!"

"Your Majesty!" Bai Bingchen's voice became a little heavier, "When Master Mei returned to the capital, Prince Cheng had already brought [-] soldiers and horses to the north to guard the north with Lord Menghou. Lord Tong had also rushed over from Wudu. But the weapon in his hand still needs time to be produced and transported. Your Majesty, we have done everything we can now, and we can only wait."

"What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for? Qin Chengtao's provocative gauntlet has been placed on my desk, and he actually wants to marry Jing Ning. How can I bear it!"

"If you can't bear it, you have to bear it!" Bai Bingchen sternly said: "Your Majesty is the king of a country. At any critical moment when the world is collapsing, your Majesty should not show such an expression. Only when His Majesty can stabilize can the country of Li be stabilized. Today, His Majesty lost his composure. .”

After being scolded by Bai Bingchen, Zhao Zhen propped his head on the table and lowered his head. After a while, he said: "Yes, I lost my temper. But Jingning... can never marry to Liangguo."

Bai Bingchen leaned over to pick up the marriage proposal letter sent by Qin Chengtao, unfolded it and read it slowly again.

It brazenly stated that he was willing to marry Zhao Jingning as the crown prince with the five prefectures on the border of Li as dowry gifts, and preside over the wedding in Yanzhou.

How ironic, to use the territory of Li country as his dowry to marry Zhao Jingning, but the place for the big wedding is actually chosen to be the place where a whole city of Li people are buried.

Such provocation and ridicule really slapped Zhao Zhen blatantly.

Wu Yu defected before the battle and stabbed Mei Shao in the back, putting Li Guo at a disadvantage in a situation that could barely be stabilized. Although Zhao Yuansheng had already overcome it, Tong Shen was also rushing to Pingdu, but all these would take time.

If Qin Chengtao persuaded Jiang Guo to make an excuse at this time, Li Guo's situation would be even more dangerous.

After Zhang Jiudai's death, Bai Bingchen's investigation of the Fudi Pavilion fell into a stalemate again, and now internal and external troubles collided together, and Mei Shao was still recuperating on the bed. Such a close and breathless bad luck, Bai Bingchen couldn't believe it was just coincide.

Li Guo has fallen into a difficult situation, and no one can guarantee that he will survive this spring.
