MTL - Rebirth of the Marquis’ Di Daughter-Chapter 124 Emperor's grandson asks for marriage

Xiao Tianzhang's army is temporarily stationed in Hezhou, 40 kilometers from Cangzhou. As soon as Xiao Tianzhang returned to the camp, there were reports from outside. The Ningzhou garrison has recently moved frequently. A large number of cavalry troops have been out of the camp overnight. Their movement is very suspicious. King Jin was killed in the chaos. Only Jin Wang's son, Xiao Lingfeng, successfully brought 10,000 troops to Cangzhou. Now he is the most powerful ally of Tiantian Xiao. He reminded Xiao Tianzhang to take into account these unusual changes, not to relax the alert to the west, and to prevent them from forming a siege with King Mingjun's army.

"Tianxuan, are you okay ..." Xiao Lingfeng looked at Xiao Tianxian's face very pale, a little worried.

Xiao Tianchi turned back to God: "Where did you say that just now?"

Xiao Lingfeng repeated the words again, and he found that Xiao Tianzhang seemed to be in poor health.

Xiao Tianzhang was thinking. The situation is indeed very critical. The army is in the weakest period. Xiao Chonghua also clearly saw this, so he stepped forward and formed a huge package facing them from the north, west, and east. Siege. Xiao Chonghua is undoubtedly a terrible adversary. This attack was clearly planned and prepared. The worst thing is that his own side ...

"The situation is more serious than we thought," Xiao Lingfeng said gravely, "our grain reserves are almost depleted. Now, we have given most of the grain to the forward forces, because they want to resist Xiao Chonghua's main offensive. As for the others, we only keep the most important troops. Other troops can only temporarily dismantle them and let the soldiers scattered to various villages and towns. It is easier to find food when they are reduced to zero. This idea is stupid, but we can only In this way. Otherwise, we would not be able to sustain it as long as ten days ago. "

The other generals applauded: "It's true, my troops are unstable.

"No way. How can I fight when I'm hungry? If I can't eat enough, I can't even get my weapon now."

An old veteran calmly said, "My team is still intact, but for half a month we have not been able to get food supplies. The cavalry has begun to kill the horses and starve, and the officers cannot stop them."

Xiao Lingfeng nodded: "500,000 people have lost 30,000, and 20,000 people taken by Xiao Tiande ... Now we are not only lacking food, some soldiers ransack cities along the way because of hunger ..."

Everyone talked, the generals were noisy, they complained to each other, and the accounts became more and more noisy.

"Live it all!" In the low voice of Xiao Tianying, there was a convincing power. His voice was not high, but the noise ceased immediately, the account became silent, and everyone's eyes focused on him. Body. He looked up and looked around at everyone with a grim look: "I understand all the current difficulties. But it's useless for you to make such a noise."

Waiting for passive defense has no way out. It just looks at the army being gradually eroded and getting smaller and smaller.

Xiao Lingfeng believes that Xiao Chonghua is the most important deceased person. However, in addition to the 200,000 elite soldiers in his hand, he still has the weakest 100,000 people. These are not regular troops, but are temporarily recruited after the start of the war. There is a great ability, and there is no way to train them into a powerful army in the short term, and most of these people are scattered in the northeast, with the intention of hiding. He suggested that the army be assembled immediately to those troops that are relatively weak. Make a blow. However, this proposal was rejected by Xiao Tianzhang. Eliminating those small forces would not help change the overall strategic situation. Even if they were defeated, Xiao Chonghua's people would still move forward, so that they would face continuous fighting situations, which is very dangerous.

"Concentrate all troops and attack the center of the opponent."

He was attacking the most powerful core area of ​​the enemy. When Xiao Lingfeng heard it, he was in a hurry: "How can this be!"

"The strongest place of the enemy is also the weakest place. As long as we concentrate the strength of 450,000 people to fight a victory in one fell swoop and give them a heavy blow in his main attack, the enemy's main force will lose most of its combat power and cannot Going forward, and the other echoing forces did not have the cooperation of the main force, they would never dare to attack us alone, so the siege was naturally resolved. "

"... If they are not careful, they are likely to fall into their siege." Xiao Lingfeng hesitated.

"So we need people to draw their attention and make them think that our main force is elsewhere." Xiao Tianmao said slowly, a flash of condensation flashed in his eyes, "Since we are short of food, go to them! Attack, defeat their armies, capture their cities, and take down their weight and supplies! "

Xiao Lingfeng was shocked, and then he noticed something was wrong. According to Xiao Tianmao's character, he would not make such a claim. This is to draw attention ... It is clearly to die.

Xiao Tianzhang seemed to see through his mind and smiled at him slightly, not at all. That's right, his purpose is to get rid of people with dissatisfaction in the army, not only betrayed him, but also those hidden lines that Xiao Tiande has already laid in the army.

Looking at Xiao Tianyi's smiling face, Xiao Lingfeng felt a kind of fear for the first time: Is this Xiao Tianyi who works on ingenuity and conspiracy really a familiar friend? He changed a lot. In appearance, he is still so wanton, but in his bones he is more determined, and there is something different from the past in the gloomy eyes, like a blade, hidden in his understatement.

Xiao Chonghua's side also faces the same problem. The 200,000 people he trained with a lot of money were very elite troops, but because Xiao Yan was eager to expand, causing an oversized civilian army to gather and a large number of people who did not pass the currency, the trained people joined, which brought great benefits to his command. Inconvenience, the regular soldiers and horses that Xiao Yan worked hard to build eventually fell into a crowd of inconvenient people. Xiao Chonghua had already predicted that for him, these people were useless, and even dragged on in battle, which was not the most disturbing. Uneasy, three days ago, a supervisory army arrived here. The identity of the supervisory army was different from ordinary people. He was the uncle of Xiao Chonghua and King Lu.

King Lu always said that he could not be ill during the conspiracy of King Qin. Compared with the other kings who turned away, he knows how to protect himself. This is a kind of political sensitivity as the prince of the royal family. It is also because his strength cannot be compared with other kings. Survived under the eyes of King Qin. Sending him here at this time may not necessarily mean to monitor Xiao Chonghua. This is something Xiao Chonghua understands better than anyone, because he saw the shadow of Xiao Yan in this move.

Xiao Yan has never trusted anyone, even if he is his ally.

Xiao Chonghua glanced at the map and said to everyone: "Of course Xiao Tianyi lacks food, but if we consider it from the perspective of a long war, we must also support an army that is too large. The Dali has just passed a turmoil and is too heavy. The burden is a disaster for the entire country, especially for ordinary people. Cangzhou is now in a period of inadequate connection. Even if there is supplementary self from Kyoto, it will not be able to maintain 300,000 troops for a long time. I think, Keeping more than 15 to 200,000 more elite standing troops is enough to attack. "

Ouyang Jue listened, his eyes gleaming, he was just a small guerrilla and did not have the right to participate in such upper-level meetings. He could stand here not because he had suffered countless injuries during the battle. It was because he was the cousin of Emperor Sun Aifei, and the brother of Yongan County Lord. Even though he kept hiding his identity when he came to join the army, but with more and more generals in Kyoto, he could no longer hide. However, he always insisted on fighting on the front line. Therefore, he was fully aware of the disadvantages Xiao Xiaohua said. The army's weapons and combat effectiveness were poor, and the damage was very serious after each battle. The inexperienced people joined, and the quality of the army further declined, which almost fell into a vicious circle.

However, he knew this deeply, but could not say, because he did not have a proper identity to speak.

Xiao Chonghua's deep black eyes were like a pond: "The best way is to disarm half and reorganize the army to form a smaller but more elite army."

"How is this?!, King Lu frowned suddenly" ‘These people have just been recruited, now you want them to disband? Don't blame it for mutiny! "

Xiao Chonghua did not get angry because of his sudden interruption, but slowly explained: "Uncle Lu, whoever we do n’t use, can let them go back to nearby towns. Now I heard that there are quite a few in Xiao Tianyi ’s army. The soldiers sneaked into the city to plunder the supplies. We can let these people form their own militia forces, cooperate with the garrison in the city, and come in handy when necessary. "

Ouyang Jue nodded repeatedly, and other generals also agreed with this idea. Because they all felt that when they were fighting, the temporarily recruited troops brought them a lot of trouble.

"No!" King Lu stubbornly cut his teeth, "This is tantamount to weakening his own strength. Now is the crucial moment. The other party has 500,000 troops, and we are only 300,000. At this time, if you reduce the number of people, isn't it because you want to fail? "He said here, and suddenly stood up," Chonghua, just keep the original plan to attack, don't mess around! "

"This is not a mess! It is a concentrated effort to deal with the next surprise attack!" A large number of redundant staff will drag down the strength of the entire army! Xiao Chonghua insists on authenticity. He always feels that Xiao Tianzhang will have a large movement in the future. Once he goes south and colludes with Nanzhao King, this matter will never end easily!

"I said no, no, if you object, you can report to Prince Edward and let him make a decision!", King Lu stubbornly, almost rudely.

There was no sound in the military account. Everyone looked at King Lu, but they listened carefully to the sound of Xiao Chonghua's side. Some are uneasy, some secretly regret, and naturally others are indifferent. But all this can only be put in my heart, if it is in the form of words, it is rude.

At this time, the situation between the DPRK and China was subtle and complicated. The prince was about to ascend to the throne soon. Although the emperor and grandson were young, it seemed that it was no longer a day or two to cultivate their own forces. circle. Although Qin Wang is no longer alive, the troubles left are quite a lot. The King of Yan didn't seem to want to get into this mess, and it accounted for most of the time when he was quiet on the court, but what about Xiao Chonghua? What role does he play?

Xiao Zhonghua looked at the pair of eyes with different looks in front of him, he just felt tired. He had a strong mental endurance and self-adjustment ability. He had never been angry or even half-excited when he heard such a rough and rude word from King Lu. He just said lightly: "As Uncle Wang wished . "

Ouyang Jue was very disappointed. He suddenly realized that it was not the strategy and the power that determined everything in the war. There was also a popular opinion. This was not the first time that King Lu obstructed Xiao Chonghua's plan. Even this year, his qualifications exceeded that of Xiao Chonghua. The grandfather was dragging them on purpose. Maybe he didn't do it on purpose, but Ouyang Jue knew that the Prince had sent such a person as a big mistake. It was Xiao Chonghua's fault that he defeated the battle. King Lu was able to guide him in such a ridiculous situation.

In the evening, he stood alone on the mud outside the tent, sinking his head to scratch the current layout, but sighed from time to time.

At each offensive location, he drew more than a dozen action plans.

Unconsciously, the sky was getting brighter, but he didn't feel it at all, and was still contemplating.

While moving a few stones representing the offensive cavalry to one side, someone beside him stretched out a village branch, drew an arc on the other side, and slowly said, "If it were me, I would attack from the right and forcefully cross river."

Ouyang Jue has been immersed in his own thoughts, and even if he doesn't want to, he shakes his head and points to the left: "On the shore, I will send someone to care here."

The man thought about it for a moment, separated another from that arc, and turned to one side: "Then I attacked at the foot of the mountain, and sent my cavalry back to the mountain from there."

Ouyang Jue also pointed to the stones that he placed on the side: "I had a layout at the beginning, there was an ambush here, forming a corner with the people by the river, protecting each other and supporting each other."

The man smiled, and then made an arc to the other side, and smiled, "I will send 500 more people to be outsourced here."

Ouyang Jue stifled, and immediately said, "Here is the cliff, you can't go up!" He suddenly realized something, looked up suddenly, and saw Xiao Zhonghua in a shirt standing beside him.

He lost the village branch involuntarily, and suddenly stood up and asked, "King County, why did you give in to King Lu?"

Xiao Zhonghua paused, and then smiled: "I don't care, it's just for arguing about this matter, it will only make room for those who are interested."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Jue expressed doubts: "Who is the person you are interested in?"

Xiao Chonghua smiled without answering, looked at the formation on the ground, and said, "Rather than killing the enemy, you are more suitable for marching. From today, follow the vice general to learn."

At dawn, Xiao Tianzhang began to attack, but instead of concentrating all his forces on the main force of Xiao Chonghua as he said in the plan, he sent five cadres to attack the right side and 5,000 to attack King Ming Jun's core troops were only smoke bombs on both sides. Xiao Chonghua was not fooled, but King Lu incorrectly believed the news from the rebel generals in Xiao Tianzhang's army and ordered the army to attack with full force. When he responded, Xiao Tianzhang had already withdrawn his main force and raided the border between Dali and Nanxun The Dali defenders on the street killed the defender Wang Hejiang and captured tens of thousands of defenders. On the same day, the first grain from Nanzhao was shipped to the border. The Dali people found out that the Nanzhao King had already sent some grain to the Xiao Tianzhang army from the road and the path in the dense forest. In the following days, food, weapons, and supplements from Nanzhao continued to enter Xiao Tianzhang's army. Many generals in Xiao Tianzhang's army did not understand at this time. They were all put together. Xiao Tianzhang had already suspected that there were rebels among them. This was deliberately arranged. It was only on the morning of the attack that he suddenly announced a change of plan and killed all. People are caught by surprise! It turned out that he had already reached an agreement with Nanxun, who had always been out of step with the Dali Dynasty. He would repair the boardwalk and secretly warehousing!

Overnight, the situation reversed. Xiao Tianzhang occupied the 16 cities on the border between Dali and Nanzhao, and suddenly became a prince on the frontier of the town. Now what Xiao Yan needs to worry about is not how to eliminate Xiao Tianzhang, but to watch him. To prevent him from thinking about it one day, he opened the country gate and let Nanzhao people come in ...

All these errors were caused by King Lu. His identity and qualifications overwhelmed Xiao Chonghua, but he never went to the battlefield. He used the suite in the court, but did not want to be used by the other side, but waited for him. When I came to understand it, the first thing was not remedy, but a rush to a memorial, brought the King of Ming County to death, and all of the charges of letting Xiao Tianzhang go to Xiao Chonghua! The prince was angry and ordered Xiao Chonghua to return to Beijing immediately!

In May of that year, Crown Prince Xiao Qinwu ascended the throne, and his dating year was Jianlong. The ministers turned up and asked him to choose another woman from the consort to be the queen, but he just refused. In fact, since the death of the prince, the prince, no, should be said to be the emperor today, as if he had no interest in everything. As his tiredness of government affairs surpassed one day, and his physical health deteriorated by one day, he seemed to be tired of the life of the government, and at the same time, he was tired of life itself. The body goes down day by day. The death of his wife seemed to take away all the vitality in his life. He was not only gray-haired, but even his heart was dead.

Everyone felt that this was because the first prince was his hair-losing wife, and he died because of him. He was too sorrowful. When Ouyang Nuan heard of the news, he felt sad, but he died for innocent The prince, still for her Majesty, who knows everything but can only remain silent.

Faintly, she guessed that Xiao Qinwu knew something about the death of the prince, but he couldn't say anything and couldn't do anything. He could only chase her as Queen Xiao'an.

The queen, the princess did not want the title of the queen. She wanted to treat her husband with all her heart, and make her proud son, but they ignored her and lost her life.

Maybe, Xiao Yan is not as ruthless as she thinks. The tomb of Empress Xiaoan is everything buried in accordance with the ritual system of the queen, the scenery is buried, and the supreme glory. Doing nothing. There is only one root cause that can be saved but turned a blind eye.

Before the sky, what a woman did.

Ten days later, Xiao Yan specially arranged a banquet for the depressed emperor and to appease the hearts and minds of all the courtiers in Kyoto.

The ministers are all here. When the emperor appeared in the imperial garden, everyone rushed to kneel and said, "Long live, see my emperor, long live."

Xiao Qinwu looked faint and couldn't see his emotions: "Let it be flat."

He sat on the hall, the ministers accompanied him to the side, and the women's relatives held another seat. Because Ouyang Nuan was the Yongan County master, he accompanied the princess in the upper position and suffered various eyesight.

Xiao Yan smiled inverse "Father Emperor is happy today, please come to the Royal Garden to appreciate the peony, and please have a dinner at noon."

On the throne, Xiao Qinwu kept his eyes narrowed and looked indifferent.

The courtiers flattered and entertained each other, and the crown prince Zhou Yanjun and the side concubine Lin Yuanxin were also surrounded by the women. The wife of the ministers scrambled to be close to the two nobles and surrounded them. Lin Yuanxin's hair bun was well combed, and she praised the two children for being well-behaved for a while, but many of them also had a more enthusiastic attitude towards Lin Yuanxin. Zhou Yanjun looked in his eyes, and his heart was full of resentment.

Ouyang Nuan wore a light peach-colored embroidered Yuehua skirt, embroidered with a little bit of flowers, although it was an ordinary dress color, not flamboyant, but not mediocre. She wore a laced gold phoenix phoenix, and in action, the pearl dangling from lace swayed slightly, shining brightly, reflecting her beautiful face, her white hands clasped on her skirt, and the smile between her eyebrows Quiet.

She sat quietly with the princess and listened to the gossips of the ladies and ladies beside her. Sitting next to her were Princess Zhou, Princess Wang Zhou's son Xiao Qingxian, Tang Wanyi, Princess Yun Yun Zhu Ningbi, Princess Chu, and Xiao Yanran, the king of the Chu family. At the beginning, they were afraid of the presence of the princess, and did not dare to say anything sensitive, but only said something funny. Ouyang Nuan found that, even though she was indulgent, Zhu Ningbi had her eyes, nose and nose in front of the princess, for fear of being noticed, showing that the temperament of the princess is well known among them.

The princess was impatient to listen to them, so she got up and said she was going to change clothes. Ouyang Nuan stood up, the princess shook her head gently, and said, "I'll come back when I go."

As soon as the princess left, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed, and after a while of gossip, everyone began to lose control of the gossip factor in their bodies.

I do not know who started to mention the King of Jun.

"Have you heard of it, King Mingjun's filial piety period is over, and Zhengzheng will be selected soon."

Chosen Concubine? Ouyang Nuan shook her head lightly. The last time Xiao Chonghua said, she didn't take it to heart. She always felt that Xiao Chonghua was not the kind of strong male and female love for her. He suddenly proposed to marry her, but to help her.

However, this one exploded because of this

"Is this true? What kind of concubine would he choose?"

"Of course it's true, but yeah, Lord Rong Jun has no chance, she's married!" Zhu Ning Binunu mouth, in the direction of Rong Jun sitting in the distance, with a bit of scorn in her eyes, "she was young It ’s older than King Mingjun. It was so embarrassing to marry him. ”

Having spoken halfway, she was interrupted by her mother-in-law, Princess Zhou, "Don't just say what is right or wrong."

Although Zhu Ningbi was arrogant, she still respected the princess. She said gently: "Mother-in-law, I'm not talking about her gossip. This is a fact!"

"Now in Kyoto, there are not many people who are worthy of King Mingjun!" Zhu Ningbi turned her head to look at Ouyang Nuan and smiled. "Yongan County Lord, do you mean?"

Ouyang Nuan smiled faintly.

"What's so good about marrying him? With a frosty look, the girl's family should still find a gentle and gentle husband, with all his eyes on the case, respecting each other like a guest, but not respecting each other like ice!" Tang Wanyi shook her head, disapproving. Her husband Xiao Qingxian is indeed gentle and elegant, personable, and respects her like a guest, respects and loves each other, and gets along very well. She also thinks that others should do the same.

Xiao Qingxian is gentle and elegant, but unfortunately because of this, she has a lot of confidantes. Tang Wanyi has been married for three years, and her side concubine has already accepted two. Zhu Ningbi covered her lips with a smile, and her eyes turned, and said, "Well, you wouldn't say this intentionally because your sister was rejected by him. This kind of thing shouldn't be arrogant. In fact, I think Mingjun Wang is an ideal husband-in-law who has a high position and a promising future. Moreover, you can't find a handsome man like him anywhere, "

A woman next to him snorted softly. "Since it's so good, why haven't you been married until now? You can see that there must be something wrong. I heard that he hasn't even been to the green building, and there isn't a waiter beside him. There must be something hidden! "

Ouyang Nuan raised her eyes slightly, but saw the woman familiar. But when others heard her talking, they all showed a disdainful expression. She suddenly remembered that this woman was Qian Xiangyu!

But isn't Qian Xiangyu alive and living to marry King Mingjun? Why suddenly to him. Evil words? Ouyang Nuan frowned slightly, but could not help laughing when she saw the other brother's grievous expression. It turned out that Xiao Zhonghua had mercilessly hurt a young girl's heart

"No, the reason why Brother Chonghua didn't marry his wife is because his eyes are too high. No woman can enter his eyes. I don't know who can be so lucky this time!" Fruity cute face with a naive and lovely look. She thought for a while and said, "But ah, I think Tian Tian's brother is actually very handsome, but I heard the father said that he is going to marry Princess Nanxun ...

She said so easily and practically. As soon as this word was spoken, everyone changed color.

Ouyang Nuan felt a shock in her heart, and looked at her unbelievably.

Princess Chu quickly covered her mouth: "Don't talk nonsense!" She looked nervously towards the Prince, but when no one noticed it, she looked up at Ouyang Nuan again.

Ouyang Nuan's heart suffocated for a moment, and then she saw the expression of Princess Zhou, and suddenly thought that she looked at herself with this look because everyone knew that Xiao Tianxun had asked the emperor to marry him. In their eyes, there may be some unclear connection between themselves and Xiao Tianmao. In fact, if you are not the princess's righteous daughter, and you are as good as Lin Yuanxin, do n’t say that you are sitting here with honor now, it ’s hard to say if you can save your life.

"Speaking of which, the county master really has vision!" Zhu Ningbi laughed and interrupted the silence.

What a smart person Ouyang Nuan was, and it was only a moment before she understood what the other party meant. When King Qin controlled Kyoto, those who flattered and flattered did not know how much. Nowadays, those who want to put their daughters to Xiao Tianzhang regret their death, because such a move has made them a rebel, even if the emperor is no longer Investigating, they are always disturbed. Ouyang Nuan would have become Xiao Tianyi ’s concubine as long as she nodded her head, but she left Lin Yuanxin at a critical juncture and protected the blood of the emperor's grandson. From the perspective of everyone at the time, her behavior was extreme Stupid, but now everyone is changing. Say she's Hong Fuqi heaven 0

Because of the fact that King Yun Jun was very fond of Ouyang Nuan, Zhu Ningbi has been in a state of anxiety. Now it is not surprising to take the opportunity to pick a stab. Everyone sees and smiles, not at all. Ouyang Nuanqiang could bear the boredom in her heart, glanced at her slightly, and smiled slightly, "I'm going to see my mother, everybody is out of company."

After speaking, she got up and left the table, and took the two palace men in the direction that the princess left. When the palace changed, Ouyang Nuan did not see it with his own eyes, but now it is a scene of spring blossoms.

The flowers in the garden bloomed brilliantly, surrounded by clusters, fiery red, pink, purple, and snow white, one after another swaying in the warm wind.

In the garden, many people inside the palace were rejected, leaving only the princess and the emperor.

The princess grabbed the emperor's hand comfortably, with a gentle voice, full of regrets: "Your Majesty, she is dead."

The princess's voice was shaking, and the words were very light. Ouyang Nuan stood outside the flowers and could hardly hear it, but the emperor seemed to be stagnant. Ouyang Nuan looked at her white-skinned twins, and could not help but tremble. When was the gentleman-like prince, who was like this ridiculous Tang Dynasty?

The emperor seemed to have tears in his eyes. He said, "It's my fault, it's all my fault. I killed Wan Qing then, and now she kills her ..."

In Ouyang Nuan's impression, Xiao Qinwu was always gentle, but at this moment it was almost crippled, and even the muscles on his face were distorted. She could almost see that the swollen green tendons on the back of his hand were almost fierce because of his fierceness. Hoarse: "Why! Why do you stop me alone?" When he was talking, he forgot to even claim to be.

Seeing this scene, Ouyang Nuan did not even dare to come out.

The emperor's eyes were gloomy and hopeless, and his voice was, "Sister emperor, I'm truly lonely ..."

The princess held his head comfortably, as if holding a lonely, helpless child.

That was the first time Ouyang Nuan saw a man cry, and a lot of tears burst out silently, rolling down on the robe of his chest. Ouyang Nuan looked in surprise, almost speechless.

After a long time, the emperor slowly recovered. He slowly and firmly opened the princess and said, "Sister Huang, there is one more thing. Yaner asks for a union, and he will marry him with the Lord of Yong'an County," He stared at the princess and slowly said, "You know, no one can stop him now."
