Tang Yue always feels that his patience has reached the limit. He is worried all day and has nightmares. If he goes on like this, maybe he will become old.
Every morning in the pillow found his hair, he is inexplicably sad, a person in bed hair will stay in order to wake up.
"Lang Jun The big thing is bad! " The housekeeper pushed the door in, his face pale, and his teeth chattered as he spoke.
Tang Yue's heart cluttered, wearing a pair of underpants to jump out of bed, "what's the matter?"
"Just now someone came to the palace, saying it was an urgent report received in the early morning. After his Highness the prince led his troops into the territory of North Vietnam, he suddenly disappeared."
"What is sudden disappearance? Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses can shake the ground with one foot. How can they disappear? " Tang Yue roared.
He carefully recalled the dream of last night, whether there is such a scene, but the dream is basically forgotten after waking up, and it is not possible to do.
"The old slave asked the same question, but the person who came to deliver the message was not clear. He only said that the palace asked him to send the news, and then he ran away in a panic."
"Oh, it must be false news!" Tang Yue put on his clothes, washed his face with cold water, and went to the palace in a hurry. Before the early Dynasty was over, Tang Yue rushed directly into the hall and got the same attention.
Although Tang Yue is a man, but after all, he carries the name of a prince and princess. He has never appeared in such an occasion.
It is beyond the principle for the officials of the Southern Jin Dynasty to accept a male crown princess. It is absolutely impossible for them to accept that the crown prince and Princess go to court again.
Even if the princess has wonderful skills, it can not break their deep-rooted ideas.
Tang Yueran was sweating and panting. When he ran to the hall, his legs had softened and he knelt down directly. He said, "father, is it true that the prince's highness is missing? "The king of the Southern Jin Dynasty didn't embarrass him, his face was sad," so far the news is. "
"I don't know who sent the message, and when did it happen? A few days ago, I also received a letter of peace from your highness. "
On the main hall of the Southern Jin Dynasty, a soldier in armor nodded, "come on."
Tang Yue turned to look at the past, is a completely strange face, of course, the army tens of thousands, he can not all know.
"What is your position in the army?" he asked
The soldier was so tired that he could see that he had come back to report the news day and night. He sat down on the ground with a glass of water in front of him. Obviously, he had just recovered.
"If you go back to the crown princess, you are only a small Wu commander in the army. Because you stay in the city of Chuzhou, you are sent back to report this time."
"How can you be sure that your highness is missing?" The more unconsciously Tang raised the volume.
"I haven't heard from your Highness for ten days before I left Chuzhou. Originally, there were scouts sending letters every day..."
Tang Yue interrupted his words, "maybe it was just the scouts who were killed?"
"Yes, your conjecture has also been thought about, so a large number of people and horses are sent out every day, but it is a pity that the trace of the prince's highness can not be found for several days."
"Which general is left behind in the city of Chuzhou?"
"General Hu."
Tang Yue's face darkened. Hu Jinpeng was not a rash man. Since he sent someone back to report the news, he must have tried his best to contact Prince Zhao.
"One day earlier, where was the prince when you finally got the news from his highness?"
"In Shunde County of Licheng in North Vietnam, Licheng garrisoned 30000 troops. His highness captured Licheng in one night, took a rest and continued to go north. General Hu speculated that his Highness's missing track should be Jinxi gorge, which is 30 miles north of Shunde county."
"Canyon again!" Tang Yue frowned. The terrain of the canyon is too dangerous. It is generally the favorite place for ambush. It can't be prince Zhao's men and horses. They were ambushed there and the whole army was destroyed?
This idea may have been shared by many officials present, but Tang Yue didn't believe it at all. Prince Zhao led the troops northward with a number of about 60000. Among them, there were 10000 black armour guards. No matter how incompetent they were, they couldn't even escape.
He has absolute confidence in the black defender.
Tang Yue calmed down for a while and asked the king of Southern Jin, "how does the father plan to arrange it?"
"Keep looking. You have to see people when you are alive, and you have to see a corpse when you die. What's more, the prince is only missing for a few days. It's far from chaos."
Duke Heng nodded, and he was also worried that his only son could rush to the front line, but his reason was still there. He agreed: "according to the minister's speculation, this situation may be that his highness suddenly changed his route and the scouts sent out could not be contacted. One possibility is that his Highness was trapped in a certain place and could not transmit the news for a while.
However, at the beginning, when the enemy troops were 120000, his highness broke in and captured Chuzhou. No matter how strong the North Vietnam was, it was impossible to raise enough troops to match the enemy in one time. "
After so many years of fighting in southern Shanxi and northern Vietnam, the two sides have known each other. Occasionally, an army like heijiawei emerges, which is the result of the prince's concealment. Moreover, it is not only the result of spending human, material and financial resources, but also the guidance from Tang and Yue that spans a thousand years.Of course, there will be Assassin's mace in North Vietnam, but what kind of Assassin's mace can win the army led by the prince? You can't think of it anyway.
However, the unknown danger like this is the most worrying for all of us, because they can't get information at all, and they can't rescue them. What's more, it's in the territory of North Vietnam, and it's a thousand miles away from Yecheng. The time on the road alone is enough for the ever-changing battlefield.
A group of courtiers said big things as small things. Some people flattered them with fanciful flattery that the prince Zhao might have come to Kyoto, North Vietnam. Because the speed was too fast, we couldn't find it. Tang Yue could only say ha ha.
If the North Vietnam is really so good at fighting, will it still entangle with the Southern Jin for decades? It's good for them to have black armour guards, but after all, there are only 10000 black armour guards, and they are not invincible. It is impossible to attack North Vietnam only with 60000 people.
Prince Zhao's letter to his family rarely wrote about the war strategy. He was afraid that he would be intercepted and leaked the military plane. However, Tang Yue thought that he could also think of something.
Prince Zhao set out to attack the north with all his might. First, he wanted to occupy part of the territory before the North Vietnam could deploy. Second, he wanted the officers and men to get some credit by the way.
To say that his goal is North Vietnam Kyoto, Tang Yue does not believe it at all.
"Father Wang, it takes ten days and a half months for news to reach Yecheng as soon as possible from Chuzhou. The variables are too big. It means that the prince's Highness has returned to the city, but we speculate here at random. Why don't we send someone to have a look?" Tang Yue's small abacus in his heart crackled.
"It makes sense." The king of the Southern Jin Dynasty thought for a while, glanced around, and said, "Ping Aiqing, I'd like you to go there. The young people in this court are too young. If you have any problems, you should resist."
Even if the king of the Southern Jin Dynasty did not name him, he would like to ask him to follow him to see the situation. Whether it was his son or the crown prince, he was worried about him.
After the meeting, Tang Yue and Heng Guogong walked together. Tang Yue looked at each other eagerly, just like a dog who didn't want meat. He could see that Heng Guogong was always in the mood.
"Don't worry, princess. I'll go there once. What's wrong with you?"
Tang Yue wants to say, how can he rest assured that he has not seen him with his own eyes? "Then you must pay attention to your safety, you old arm and old leg, you have to travel a long way, how can you bear it?"
Tang Yue sighed a few times and put forward a suggestion, "or can I take care of your body all the way, if you please
Heng Guogong's beard trembled, "wake up, what kind of heart do you know? Since he doesn't name you, he wants you to stay in Yecheng, and he won't give you a chance to travel. "
"But it's useless for me to stay in Yecheng except to worry."
"Why is it useless? As long as you stay in Yecheng for one day, the prince's house will still be the prince's house, and no one dares to comment on it. You should remember that Yecheng is the foundation of his highness. To hold here is equivalent to holding half of his highness. The task of the crown prince is arduous. "
Tang Yue also knows this reason. Isn't that why he came back?
The border news is blocked. If there is a rumor spread to Yecheng, people think that the prince has been killed. Just like this time, some people may come out and propose to establish another prince.
Over the years, watching the princes grow up one by one, they are not all peaceful masters. With a little bit of provocation, competitors may emerge.
Tang Yue understood all these reasons, but the whole Southern Jin Dynasty was not as important as Prince Zhao's life. If someone really wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble, he would have to let Prince Zhao fight back later.
The military power of the Southern Jin Dynasty was not really controlled by outsiders.
"The old minister will probably stay with his highness as soon as he goes. In addition to the 20000 soldiers and horses, the remaining 30000 will be handed over to the princess." Duke Heng winked at him, and the implication was self-evident.
Tang Yue became a big local tyrant with military power in his hand. Before he got excited, he was pressed down by the responsibility on his shoulders.
These people are not so easy to control, he would like to never use, once used, it means that there is turmoil in Yecheng.
He took a long breath and replied firmly, "I understand."
