MTL - Getting Simulated By The Empress Is Not My Intention-Chapter 124 Mrs. Lanxiang (5000)
Chapter 124 Mrs. Lanxiang (5000)
"What does your lord mean, we are going to make friends with King Guishuang?" asked the subordinate.
"No!" Zhang Beichen denied this idea and said, "King Guishuang is indeed the most powerful, but his thoughts are not on the side of the Huns at all. His base camp is too far away from the Huns. If he becomes the king of the Dayue Clan, He will not agree to attack the Xiongnu with Wei."
"The same is true for the other four princes. They only want to be the king of the Da Yuezhi, which is different from ours."
"What does your lord mean, to help Mrs. Lanxiang?" asked the subordinate.
Zhang Beichen pondered: "Mrs. Lanxiang is the weakest. If we can help her get into the position, we are qualified to negotiate terms with her. But whether to help, we still need to contact her to see if she is worth helping?"
…
【You let Vika act as an intermediary, went to the palace secretly, and met Mrs. Lanxiang. 】
In the main hall of the palace, Zhang Beichen only saw a plump woman walking towards him slowly. She was wearing the costumes of the royal family of the Western Regions. The clothes were brightly colored, revealing smooth and white arms and calves.
Her face was covered by a layer of tulle, revealing only a pair of sapphire-like eyes with deep eye sockets, a high nose bridge, and three-dimensional facial features.
You don't need to lift the veil to know that this is a top exotic beauty!
Ms. Lanxiang still has a wisp of fragrance on her body, like a deep valley orchid.
"Zhang Beichen, the envoy of the Wei Dynasty, has met the queen." Zhang Beichen cupped his hands.
"I have heard of Zhang Xiang's name." Mrs. Lan Xiang's voice was very gentle, which made people's hearts involuntarily calm down.
"Madam knows me?" Zhang Beichen tentatively asked.
Mrs. Lan Xiang covered her mouth with a light smile and said, "Master Zhang doesn't know that the Xiongnu Da Shanyu is offering a reward for your head. He also sent an envoy to my Da Yueshi, claiming that as long as he handed you over, Da Shanyu would give it to us as a gift." A large piece of land, tens of thousands of cattle and sheep!"
"So I'm so valuable, what does the queen want to do?" Zhang Beichen asked. He wanted to know how Mrs. Lanxiang wanted to treat him and the Hun envoy.
Mrs. Lanxiang said: "Gu is just a woman, and she is easily blinded by interests. However, I, Da Yueshi, can't offend the Xiongnu, nor can I offend Wei. I have to pretend that I haven't seen it."
Ms. Lanxiang didn't want to offend both ends, and she showed that she didn't want to attack the Xiongnu with Wei.
Zhang Beichen had already expected that she would say this. After all, there is no unity within the Da Yue Clan. Thinking in another way, he would not blindly intervene in the disputes of external forces at this time.
Zhang Beichen continued: "The queen is joking, my Great Wei does not want to be an enemy of the Dayue clan. My Emperor Wei wants to form an alliance with the Dayue clan to resist our enemy, the Xiongnu!"
Mrs. Lan Xiang said: "Mr. Zhang's words are probably inappropriate. Now the Huns are your enemy, not our Da Yuezhi's enemy."
Zhang Beichen said: "The Huns drove you out of Hexi, and made the heads of your ancestors into wine vessels. Such **** enmity, has the queen forgotten?"
Hearing his words, Mrs. Lan Xiang was unmoved, "Master Zhang doesn't need to provoke me with words. I have lived here since I was a child, and I have never had any enemies with the Huns. As for the former king you mentioned, it is the former king of the deceased husband, isn't it? The lonely former king. The five princes may not necessarily recognize this former king."
With the death of the previous King of the Dayue Clan, no one within the Dayue Clan paid attention to the blood feud of their ancestors.
For them, they have long forgotten the hatred of being plundered and expelled by the Huns. Now I just want to live in the Western Regions.
Seeing that the road was blocked, Zhang Beichen had no choice but to show his card and said: "Queen, I know a thing or two about the current situation of the Da Yue Clan. If you are willing to form an alliance with my Da Wei and attack the Huns together, Da Wei is willing to help you ascend the throne and become king! "
Ms. Lan Xiang's eyelids moved slightly, and Zhang Beichen knew that her heart was moved.
In front of the Wubu Xihou, she, a widow, is not qualified to ascend to the throne at all. At the same time, she is also very clear that if she fails to ascend to the throne, no matter who ascends the throne, she will become the other party's plaything, or even be killed by the other party!
Her family will also fall into the abyss because of this!
The family originally wanted to elect an heir, but the five princes disagreed. Whoever was elected would not be able to secure the throne.
The arrival of envoys from the Wei Dynasty and the Huns gave Mrs. Lanxiang more choices.
If she can get help from Wei or the Huns, she will have a chance to ascend the throne!
Ms. Lan Xiang tentatively said: "Master Zhang still doesn't know about my Da Yue Clan's situation. Five princes, each with tens of thousands of soldiers. King Guishuang even has an army of more than 100,000!"
"And Da Wei is thousands of miles away, even if you want to support, I'm afraid it will be beyond your reach!"
Seeing that her heart was moved, Zhang Beichen was not in a hurry.
He smiled and said, "How does the queen know that we are beyond our reach? Didn't I come from Wei?"
Ms. Lan Xiang retorted: "Ms. Zhang's mission has only dozens of people, and they can cross the grassland. If it is a large army, how can they pass through the Huns' defense line?"
Zhang Beichen looked confident, and said: "Hundreds of thousands of troops go to the Yuezhi, and now I, Dawei, can't do it. But if we send one or two strong troops to cross the grassland, it can be done easily!"
"Our great Wei army can defeat ten with one! It doesn't need thousands of people, only thousands of people are needed to defeat Xihou's soldiers!"
Zhang Beichen is not bragging, where is the Central Plains? That was the field of Shura, where hundreds of princes fought for hundreds of years, and in the end it was the strongest among the strongest who would win!
And what about Da Yueshi?
They were unable to defeat the Huns earlier and were driven to the Western Regions. In the Western Regions, there are currently no powerful countries.
The army here is pitifully weak!
Zhang Beichen has not been idle for the past few months. He visited the capital of the Da Yuezhi. The garrison here is not to mention well-trained, it is even worse than stragglers.
Da Yuezhi retained the habits of nomads, and there was no such thing as military training or military formation. When fighting, they always recruit strong men directly, just like bandits.
They are not like the Xiongnu. The tribes conquered each other and fought against the Central Plains Dynasty. The Xiongnu's fierce cavalry could easily crush the Da Yuezhi's army!
Zhang Beichen believes that he only needs two or three thousand great Wei cavalry to carve out a world in Da Yueshi!
However, Mrs. Lan Xiang didn't believe it at all. She smiled and said: "The elites of the Great Wei Dynasty are so brave, so why can't they defeat the Xiongnu, and still want to ally with our Da Yuezhi?"
"The Huns are no match for our Great Wei!" Zhang Beichen emphasized, "It's just that they rely on the vastness of the grassland. If they can't win, they will run away. If they lose, they will hide, and they repeatedly violate the border."
Mrs. Lanxiang said: "I see."
But her attitude is really not believing at all.
The first conversation between the two broke up unhappy. Mrs. Lan Xiang wanted to test the benefits that Da Wei could bring her, but it was obvious that Zhang Beichen's answer could not satisfy her.
…
Zhang Beichen returned to his residence, and immediately sent a person out of the city. He wanted to report to Ying Yiren, so that Ying Yiren could find a way to mobilize an elite team to cross the Huns' defense line and come to Dayue Clan.
Zhang Beichen knew very well that Mrs. Lan Xiang would not believe him even if his tongue was full of lotuses. In the end, we still have to rely on strength to speak.
【You have learned that Mrs. Lan Xiang received the envoys of the Huns soon after, and the two sides had a very happy conversation. Soon after, you will find that there are many Da Yuezhi soldiers around the residence, and they seem to be monitoring you. 】
"Master, I'm afraid Mrs. Lanxiang already wants to fall to the Huns!" The subordinate was worried, "Once she reaches an agreement with the Huns, she will definitely take us!"
Zhang Beichen took it seriously, and said: "If Mrs. Lanxiang wants to seek help from the Huns, she will definitely hand over us to the Chanyu."
"We must act early!"
"My lord, please give instructions!" Everyone looked at him.
Zhang Beichen first used spiritual power to isolate the surrounding area to prevent anyone from prying in, and then said: "It's very simple, kill the Huns envoy and blame Mrs. Lanxiang!"
"In this way, it will cut off the possibility of her cooperating with the Huns, she can only find us!"
"My lord, if Mrs. Lan Xiang becomes angry and wants to kill us?" the subordinate asked.
"She doesn't dare! She won't do that either!" Zhang Beichen was very sure. He saw something called "ambition" in Mrs. Lan Xiang's eyes.
This woman is definitely not a simple person. She has been married to King Da Yueshi for more than ten years, and King Da Yueshi has never touched her. There are many vicious rumors about her among the people. For example, she Kefu, said she was vicious and so on.
But Mrs. Lanxiang never paid attention to it. She deliberately received the envoys of the Wei Dynasty and the Huns without expressing her opinion, just to get more benefits from them.
If Mrs. Lan Xiang doesn't want to ascend the throne, there is no need to bother. She can just rely on a Xihou directly.
…
【After drawing up the plan, you take your subordinates to act immediately. You visit Mrs. Lanxiang again, and Mrs. Lanxiang receives you and stays in the palace overnight. 】
【That night, you stunned the guards with drugs and sneaked out of the palace. Your subordinates have been waiting for a long time. 】
"My lord, everything is ready!" The subordinate brought a few people, all of whom were locals, dressed in the clothes of royal palace guards.
"Action!" Zhang Beichen disappeared into the night as soon as he finished speaking.
The place where the Huns envoys stayed, the disguised palace guards came to deliver a message: "The queen invites you to attack and discuss important matters!"
The Huns envoy asked puzzledly: "It's late at night, what else can the queen do?"
The messenger next to him smiled: "It is estimated that the widow is very lonely at night and misses you!"
"Hahahaha!" The Huns all laughed. As a victorious nation, they didn't pay much attention to the Dayue clan, and the Dayue clan didn't dare to offend them anyway.
"Dare to be rude to the queen, kill!" At this time, someone shouted, and then a group of men in black came in.
"There are assassins!" The Huns envoys also drew their swords to meet the enemy.
Being able to serve as envoys, they are naturally masters.
But Zhang Beichen and the others are masters among masters. Zhang Beichen has been promoted to the Holy Realm in the past few months!
【You attacked quickly, killed most of the Huns envoys, and let two of them go on purpose. 】
After finishing these, Zhang Beichen immediately returned to the palace, returned to his residence, and slept peacefully.
Before he had slept for long, the door was smashed open.
Seeing Mrs. Lan Xiang rushing in with a group of guards, Mrs. Lan Xiang was furious and asked people to check Zhang Beichen's bed.
"Queen, what's the matter?" Zhang Beichen got up sleepily and asked.
Mrs. Lan Xiang held back her anger when she saw him, and asked, "Mr. Zhang, have you been here all this time?"
"Of course." Zhang Beichen said logically, "Did the queen forget that you arranged for me to live here."
"You..." Mrs. Lan Xiang wanted to go up and slap him twice, she gritted her teeth and said, "Just now, the envoy of the Huns was killed by a group of assassins, and those people were still in the name of Gu! Does Mr. Zhang know about this matter? "
"Ah? Is there such a good thing?" Zhang Beichen looked surprised and said, "Thank you Queen for telling me the good news late at night."
Seeing that he was still pretending, Mrs. Lan Xiang said angrily: "Zhang Beichen, don't put on an air here! That Hun envoy is a master of the Nine Realms! In the entire royal city, there are only a few people who are capable of killing him!"
"Since it's not alone, it must be you!"
Zhang Beichen heard this and said with a smile: "Queen, don't talk nonsense. I have heard that there are many hermits in the Western Regions. Maybe it was the hermit who was dissatisfied with the Huns and killed them?"
"But it doesn't matter!" Zhang Beichen pretended to be generous and said, "If the Queen doesn't want to take the charge, I can take it! The Queen just needs to tell the Great Shanyu that it was our Wei people who killed his envoy and let him Go ahead and get revenge!"
"Zhang Beichen, you are really shameless!" It was the first time Mrs. Lan Xiang met such a rascal.
She really said that, would Da Shanyu believe it?
Da Wei is definitely not afraid of the Huns, but she is!
If Da Shanyu attacked Da Yuezhi in a fit of anger, what would she use to resist?
Ms. Lan Xiang is not an ordinary woman after all, she quickly calmed down after a brief moment of anger, and now it is impossible to cooperate with the Huns, so she can only seek help from Wei.
She said to Zhang Beichen: "Zhang Xiang, I want to form an alliance with Da Wei, how can Zhang Xiang guarantee that I can control Da Yuezhi?"
"The queen is really smart!" Zhang Beichen laughed and said, "Why don't we move forward and talk in detail?"
…
【You and Mrs. Lan Xiang enter the secret room to discuss the alliance plan in detail. 】
Zhang Beichen said: "If the queen wants to ascend the throne, she must control the five princes!"
"I'm afraid it will be very difficult!" Mrs. Lanxiang said: "Of the five Xihou, Guishuanghou is the strongest. He also proclaimed himself king. Clan, but his Guishuang Kingdom is not weaker than the Da Yue Clan, so he has no ability to control him."
Zhang Beichen said: "Then give up this place and control the other four Xihous is enough."
Since it is impossible to control Guishuang Kingdom, it is better to keep it.
Leaving a strong enemy for Da Yuezhi, so that Da Yuezhi can be more obedient.
He also suggested: "The queen might as well use the incident of the killing of the Hun envoy to call the other four princes to discuss matters. Then take the opportunity to control them and seize their military power. In this way, it is a matter of course for the queen to ascend the throne!"
Mrs. Lan Xiang frowned slightly, and said: "These marquises all have evil intentions, even if they agree to come to the king's city, they will not come alone, they will definitely bring their own elite! Once they attack them, their soldiers will definitely attack the city , there are only more than 10,000 soldiers in the royal city, how can we deal with them?"
Zhang Beichen smiled slightly and said: "Leave these to me! I, Dawei, can mobilize an elite team to help, and I will notify the queen when the news arrives!"
Ms. Lan Xiang was skeptical.
She didn't believe that Wei's army could avoid the Xiongnu and come to Dayue Clan. Even if they did come, how many people could they bring?
Those four Xihou can bring at least one hundred thousand soldiers and horses!
…
At this moment, King Zuoxie of Monan Wangting was angry at his subordinates.
"A bunch of trash, how did you let that group of Wei troops cross the grassland?"
The subordinates said in embarrassment: "The enemy's offensive is fierce, and it is difficult for us to resist."
"Hey!" King Zuo Xie sighed. In recent years, Wei's army has become more and more capable of dealing with them.
Since General Hu Yanxiao was killed, his strength has declined.
Now that Ying Yiren is even more aggressive, directly letting the army cross his territory, but he still can't stop it!
Presumably, the Chanyu must have scolded him when he heard about it.
…
【Ten days later, you saw the general of the Wei army, Gongsun Yan, who came to support you. 】
"My lord!" Gongsun Yan said, "General Ying asked me to bring three thousand elites this time, all of whom are elites from our Wei army! Now they are hundreds of miles away, at the mercy of the prime minister!"
"Okay!" Zhang Beichen was overjoyed, and said, "Don't go into the city yet, hide outside. I will send people to deliver food and grass, and obey my orders!"
"Yes!" Gongsun Yan immediately went to arrange.
…
【You enter the palace immediately and ask Mrs. Lan Xiang to summon the four princes. 】
"That woman wants us to go to Wangcheng?" Sibu Xihou received the letter soon.
"How did this stupid woman let the Huns envoy die in the royal city? If the Huns invade, how can I, Da Yueshi, protect myself?"
"To go or not to go?"
"Maybe there is fraud?"
"Fraud? A widow, can she turn the world upside down? There are people in the royal city, and I have already found out that there are only more than 10,000 people in the royal city."
"It's just right, this time the Marquis will directly lead the troops to the royal city, and take advantage of this opportunity to win the throne!"
【The four princes agreed to come to the royal city one after another, and each of them brought an army. 】
…
"My lord, according to the ascertained information. At present, the four Xihous have a total of more than 120,000 soldiers!" Gongsun Yan reported the situation.
Zhang Beichen asked: "How is the combat effectiveness?"
Mentioning this, Gongsun Yan shook his head again and again: "The military discipline is chaotic, the soldiers are thin and weak, and their martial arts are not good. They are like stragglers! I have three thousand cavalry, enough to break it!"
In his opinion, the army of these four Xihous is no different from a group of villagers!
In front of Wei Jun who has undergone rigorous training and battlefield baptism, he is like a chicken and duck!
…
【Sibu Xihou put the army outside the Sifang City Gate, and entered the palace in a sedan chair. 】
In the palace, Hou Mihou, Shuangmihou, Xundunhou, and Dumihou sat down one by one, waiting for Mrs. Lanxiang to appear.
"Why hasn't this widow come out yet? Do you want me to wait for her?" Du Mihou cursed with a bad temper.
"Why should Du Mihou be impatient? The four of us are here, what does it matter if she comes or not?" Xiu Mihou laughed, "Anyway, the matter of the Da Yue Clan should be decided by us! Queen, it's just a display!"
"What Hou Mihou said is very true!" The other two agreed.
