Chapter 113

After Mu Mingtang diagnosed the happy pulse, the atmosphere in the mansion changed suddenly, and everyone was jubilant. During the day, the servant girls were still worried about how the princess had no appetite, and now they were all happy. The servant girl changed Mu Mingtang's hot tea and put a soft pillow on the back of Mu Mingtang's waist: "princess, be careful. You are pregnant with your little master now. You can't be tired."

Mu Mingtang didn't know how to do anything tiresome. Now the servant girls are more nervous than she is, which makes Mu Mingtang laugh and cry: "it's not so exaggerated. The Taoist priest also said in the afternoon, "I'm just deficient in Qi and blood. I'll walk around more often and take good care of myself. I'll be fine."

"That can't be careless." Servant girl is still persistent, more and more even a cup of tea do not let Mu Mingtang end. Mu Mingtang did everything someone took over, she had nothing to do, can only blame like stroking his belly: "really can toss people."

Although she said so, her eyebrows were full of joy. This is her and Xie xuanchen's child. Mu Mingtang can't help thinking, is this child a boy or a girl? Who is he like in temperament and who has more eyebrows and eyes.

Xie xuanchen's temper is enough to make a fuss. I'm afraid he can't bear to add a smaller version to his family in the future.

Mu Mingtang was still in a state of languid before. Since she learned that she was pregnant, her mood suddenly became high. Seeing Mu Mingtang's smiling face and eyes, the servant girls felt both gratified and regretful: "it's a pity that the Lord has gone to war and is not at home. I don't know how happy the prince would be if he knew that the princess had a little master. "

When Mu Mingtang thought of Xie xuanchen, he was also slightly depressed. But she quickly cheered herself up: "it's OK. It's not too late to tell him when he comes back. Maybe by then, the children will be able to understand the voice of the outside world. "

At the moment, the front line knows nothing about the rear.

Tonight there is no moon, the stars are dim, the broad and gentle horizon is hidden in the dark, like a giant beast, devouring the people on the way.

Yeluyan looked at the endless darkness and sighed deeply.

He won many battles against Ye Dynasty, and almost subverted the capital of Ye Dynasty. The victory helped his self-confidence, and yeluyan was very conceited. He was convinced that he was the one who should achieve his ambition.

So yeluyan secretly arranges people to shoot yeluji before the battle, and in turn plants Xie xuanchen to start the war. Yelv Ji has caused such a big mess to Beirong that he has no face left in the world. If it wasn't for Yelv Ji, Yelv Yan would have taken Tokyo into his pocket now. It's a pity that empress dowager Xiao dotes on her little son and forces yeluyan to withdraw from the army regardless of Beirong's long-term hegemony.

Empress Dowager Xiao had a lot of power. She was no different from a half Lord in the court. Even the emperor had to give in. Although yeluyan has come to the fore in recent years, he does not dare to fight with empress dowager Xiao. He even has to marry empress dowager Xiao Siyi to please the Xiao family.

Empress Xiao ordered him to withdraw, but yeluyan did not dare not. The credit of his handshake flies like this, Yelv Yan is not reconciled, resolve to retrieve the field here in Yelv machine.

Yelv machine this waste, don't win Xie xuanchen, return Khitan disgrace. One hundred thousand people were chased and beaten by eight thousand people of Xie xuanchen. At last, they all returned to Beirong. Unexpectedly, Xie xuanchen could bring them out from the camp of twenty thousand people.

Yelv Yan gnashes his teeth with hatred. His grand plan is on Yelv's body. Otherwise, when yeluyan captured the capital of Ye Dynasty and captured the Xiejia emperor alive, he would be the unique hero in Khitan history.

Yeluji should have renounced himself and apologized to his Khitan ancestors. Since he refused, yeluji had to come.

Yeluyan shot yeluji and solved a powerful rival for himself. When she returns to Shangdu in the future, Empress Dowager Xiao asks, yeluyan can also be pushed to Xie xuanchen.

Anyway, Xie xuanchen cut a finger of Yelv Ji, and had a grudge against empress Xiao. Before the battle, the sword had no eyes. Who knows where the arrows came from?

Yeluyan solved the enemy, but also to attack unprepared, sneak attack border. Yeluyan always felt that he was far sighted. This time, he would defeat Xie xuanchen and give Beirong a breath. He also always felt that it was Yelv Ji who was weak and stupid, and he would be won by Xie xuanchen many times. If he was himself, he would not be like this.

Now, yeluyan takes advantage of the dark night to run away in a hurry, he finally discovers that he imagines things too simply.

It's not that Yelv is useless, that Yelv's command is wrong, or that Yelv doesn't make any mistakes. The enemy is too terrible.

This kind of feeling is too familiar, Yelv Yan can't help but think of the fear of being hanged by Xie xuanchen on the polo field last year. At that time, he thought that he was only a single soldier, not as good as Xie xuanchen. Now after being beaten severely, yeluyan finally realized that he was not as good as Xie xuanchen in all aspects.

Xie xuanchen is really a nightmare.

At the moment, nightmare is watching the sand table in the main tent. The lights are bright in the tent. General Xu and General Chang are all around the sand table to discuss with Xie xuanchen what to do next.

Yeluyan retreated, and Beirong's hinterland was exposed to them as never before. Xie xuanchen had long prevented yeluyan from crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, so he wrote to General Xu and General Chang, who was stationed in Hejian, to bring troops to the border for support.

Zhongshan and Hejian have been fighting with Beirong for many years, and they understand each other's ferocity. General Xu and General Chang knew the importance and did not dare to delay. They immediately brought people together with Xie xuanchen and displayed them on the border.It turns out that Xie xuanchen has not wronged yeluyan.

Along the way, Xie xuanchen ransacked a lot of people from the forbidden army in the capital, enzhou City, Zhending Prefecture, etc., and his troops gradually increased from 8000 to 40000. Although Xie xuanchen chose a good hand when he left, these people were formed on a temporary basis. Compared with the soldiers who had been trained for more than ten years in Zhongshan and Hejian, their combat effectiveness is far from good.

So Xie xuanchen called the Xu family and the Chang family without any hesitation. Zhongshan and Hejian together had 300000 troops. Although only a small part of them were transferred, they were enough for Xie xuanchen to support them. It's a joke to deal with the 60000 people of yeluyan.

Under the light, the Xu family and the Deputy General of the Chang family are arguing fiercely. Xu Qilang advocates pursuing after victory, but general Chang's people feel that they are not chasing after the poor. If they are lured into the enemy's hinterland, they may be ambushed.

The two sides argued and finally looked at Xie xuanchen.

Each of them is a great general of the garrison. Each of them has rich experience and different marching styles. No one is willing to convince anyone. Only Xie xuanchen, who has been in touch these days, can convince everyone.

Others say they don't believe it, but if it's Xie xuanchen, they believe it.

When Xu Qilang quarrels with General Chang's deputy general, Xie xuanchen listens quietly and doesn't express his opinion. He just fiddles with the flag in the sand table. Now the two sides are arguing with each other. They all look at Xie xuanchen: "Lord, what do you think?"

Xu Qilang's voice is backward, and the eyes of other people in the tent camp also fall on Xie xuanchen. They all wait for Xie xuanchen to express his position. Xie xuanchen seemed to have heard enough of it at last. He said without hesitation, "if you go deep into Beirong's land, you may ambush in it. What about our own?"

Everyone present was stunned: "Wang Ye..."

Xie xuanchen suddenly picked up the red flag representing the destination, threw it at random, and inserted it deeply into a large area of land behind Zhuozhou: "Youyun sixteen prefectures have been in the hands of outsiders for nearly 30 years. It's time for them to return to their original owners."

Xu Qilang was stunned. After a long time, he seemed to react. His blood burst in a moment: "Lord, do you mean to capture the sixteen prefectures of Youyun?"

"It's not an attack." Xie xuanchen corrected, "it's recovery."

This is Xie xuanchen's real purpose. Just a yeluyan, Xie xuanchen can take him back to his hometown with 40000 people. Why bother to call Xu's army and Chang's army together? At the beginning, he gathered forces from the north for the purpose of Youyun sixteen prefectures.

Since Youyun sixteen prefectures were cut out, Guangjin, later Jin, Zhou and other dynasties tried to recover them, but they never succeeded. After Xie Yi succeeded to the throne, the first thing he did was to put the recovery of Youyun sixteen prefectures on the agenda. At that time, Xie xuanchen pacified the small imperial courts in the south. They originally planned to recover the sixteen prefectures of Youyun after pacifying the rear area, cultivating their life and making strenuous efforts for a few years.

Calculate the time. This year is the year of Xie Yi's plan.

Xie xuanchen made Xie Yi angry when he was young. When he grew up, he didn't even deliver the last journey to Xie Yi. It's unfilial to be a son. Let him fulfill his last wish for his father.

Tokyo, Sagong palace.

The emperor looked at the newspaper coming back from the front, and his face was gloomy.

"Who issued a document to allow them to dispatch 300000 troops in Hejian and Zhongshan?"

The Prime Minister of Song Dynasty, Jiang Honghao and others holding their breath: "it's king an."

"Xie xuanchen?" The emperor's face became more and more bad. "He has already released the military power. Where did he get the power to mobilize the garrison?"

Prime Minister Song and Jiang Honghao bowed their heads, and no one spoke. The emperor ordered Xie xuanchen to be removed from his post long ago. At first, he was coerced by yeluyan. Later, the imperial envoy who accompanied Beirong people to Zhongshan City to deliver the goods came back and said that Xie xuanchen refused to deliver the goods, which seemed to be disrespectful to the imperial court. At that time, the emperor was really suspicious, and the subsequent orders were to remove Xie xuanchen's military power.

Even to say the least, what Xie xuanchen did was for the sake of the imperial court. Now that the crisis in Tokyo has been lifted, yeluyan has also returned to Beirong, everything has returned to the right track, Xie xuanchen is still against the order, what is the intention?

He not only held the military power of zhendingfu, but also mobilized 300000 garrison in Zhongshan and Hejian, ready to move on the border. Generals have only the right to train, but they have no power to send troops. They can't send troops without the order of the central government and the supervision of civil servants.

But now, without the knowledge of the imperial court, the 300000 troops of Beizhen are frequently mobilized at the border, and even go abroad. If we ignore discipline and law in this way, is it not to rebel?

When besieging the city a few days ago, Prime Minister Song, Jiang Honghao and others were scared to death. Later, they heard that Xie xuanchen had captured yeluji, and did not hesitate to provoke Beirong people to force yeluyan to withdraw. The princes and ministers of Tokyo originally complained that Xie xuanchen was too reckless. Later, they heard that Xie xuanchen could kill yeluyan as much as he could. It was a big deal to rebuild the capital. Anyway, he would never deliver to Taiyuan, Zhongshan and Hejian.

In fact, everyone knows that it's common to put harsh words on each other at the negotiation table, so it's not easy to expose your bottom line. But these words fell in the ears of Prime Minister Song and others, which offended the senior officials in the capital.

The more senior officials were afraid of death, Xie xuanchen once offended many officials in the capital, and he also expected the officials to have something good to say in front of the emperor. The Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty was not very happy. He arched his hand and said, "my Lord, I heard that a few days ago king an said that he would not be subject to the orders of the emperor. When he said these words, he was in front of the Imperial Envoys and all the soldiers. My Lord, I know you have high hopes for king an, but the tiger eats the mother and the wolf kills the father. My Lord, you have to guard against it. "Jiang Honghao kept his sleeve closed and did not make a statement. When he heard the words of Prime Minister Song, he and Xie Xuanji looked at each other. Weng's son-in-law went out together and said, "what Prime Minister Song said is true. The ambition of king an's wolf is exposed. Your Majesty must guard against it. "

Xie Xuanji also said: "my son knows that his father always valued his second brother, but now his second brother is obsessed with profits and has gone astray. Please make up your mind to pull the second elder brother back to the right path and let him back from the precipice. "

Under the persuasion of all the people, the emperor finally said with great pain: "I have high hopes for him. Over the years, I have spent a lot of hard work, and always intend to let him inherit the great rule. Unexpectedly, he did such a thing, which really let me down. He has made so many mistakes. If I don't punish him again, I'm afraid it will make the world cold. "

Other people in the case bow their hands together: "what your majesty said is true."

The emperor sank his face and said, "come on, pass the edict immediately. King an has repeatedly resisted the Edict and despised the imperial power. It's against the duty of people and ministers. This time, there is no imperial edict to mobilize the garrison to go out of the border without permission. I watched him endure again and again when he was young and ignorant, but I didn't expect him to make it worse and I didn't know how to repent. He immediately dismissed all the rights of king an and called him back to Beijing alone, otherwise he would be punished as treason. The generals in Zhongshan and Hejian committed a crime when they knew it and did not report it to them. They immediately took up and discharged their duties, relieved their rights, and waited for the imperial court to release them. "

Song prime minister, Jiang Honghao and others hung their sleeves and bowed: "Your Majesty is holy."
