It turned out that after the battle between the Yue Army and the pseudo-Qi army, the people of the two rivers had all fled to the region of the Xiangyang to seek refuge. Yue Pengju accepted all the orders, and the People set up camp in the Song Realm of Xiangyang, opening up a large amount of wasteland, and many able-bodied men joined the Yue Army.
Yue Pengju was currently eating dinner, and was very excited upon hearing the news of his victory. He clapped and said, "Fourth Prince's failure this time will definitely anger Golden Army to death. Sister Shi Qi, that 12 boat arrows are really great. "
Hua Rong put down her bowl of rice and was very happy as well: "Now that Jin Wushu has sole authority, I think he will not let this matter rest so easily."
"The Fourth Prince has a huge advantage, he can freely dispatch troops, if used properly, his power will be limitless, which is something I cannot match. Sister Shi Qi, I have an idea. Not waiting for Fourth Prince to catch his breath, I want to take advantage of this opportunity to give chase … "
Hua Rong naturally understood the meaning behind her husband's words. Starting from the great victory of the Yan City, to win in a row, the morale of the army had to be inspired, not affected. Most importantly, during this period of time, Zhao Deji did not interfere too much. If his master and consciousness were to gain the upper hand, then all the hard work he had gone through would be in vain.
Jin Wushu saw the defeated and escaped Tu Hesu three days later. His left leg was injured and he was limping, it was already late autumn and the weather had turned cold. Beside him was Han Chang, who was blind in one eye.
Tu Hesu looked to be in a sorry state, and said dejectedly: "Fourth Prince, Yue Nanman is truly difficult to fight."
Seeing that he had not lost, Jin Wushu was dispirited. Furious, he took out a willow branch and beat him up: "Your battle is not good, and you are shaking the hearts of your troops.
Although Tu Hesu had not suffered enough damage, he was still in unbearable pain. He limped even more, and from then on, hatred was born in his heart for Jin Wushu.
Jin Wushu immediately ordered for the army to be divided into five armies for the true decisive battle with the Yue Army.
Before the final battle, the Golden Army had done another great thing. open seal was the resting place of the ancestors of Zhao. Golden Army looted the tombs, destroyed the tombs of the ancestors, stole everything that was buried, and even whipped the moldy bones out, sprinkling them all over the ground. This time, she was determined to fight the Golden Army, so she appointed Yue Pengju, Han Zhongliang, Zhang Jun and the other three generals as rallying devices, and also announced that Zhang Jun was going to personally supervise the battle.
Zhang Jun first went to Liu Guang's camp. As Liu Guang was mediocre and incompetent, and was not as friendly as Zhang Jun, Zhao Deji was not satisfied with him, but he knew his own limits, so he invited him to a lot of luxurious mansions, and handed over the military authority to return back to his home to recuperate. Thus, his army had no leader. The original First Warrior of Liu Guang had sent a letter to Zhang Jun, requesting him to lead a separate army. Zhang Jun had always looked down on military officers. Seeing that Li Qiong was asking for something too excessive to order around, in order to teach him a lesson, he had promoted Li Qiong's sworn enemy, Wang De. Li Qiong could not accept it, after discussing it with his subordinates, he actually plotted to kill Wang De and the rest, and without stopping, led 40,000 men to surrender to.
When Zhao Deji received this news during the banquet at the palace that day, he was as shocked as a bolt of lightning. The wine cup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. Day and night, he was worried that the war would not end well. As expected, Li Qiong and the others led them to the enemy kingdom with just a few words.
This matter had caused great panic both in and out of the imperial court, and it had also resulted in Zhang Jun being impeached in various aspects. Seeing that the time was right, Qin Gui, who had been waiting for a long time, ordered his subordinates to jump up and down. When Zhang Jun saw the three foot thick impeachment certificate that Zhao Deji threw in in front of him, in order to protect his dignity, he had no choice but to resign.
Once he left, Qin Gui naturally ascended to the throne that he had been looking forward to for a long time — — The Prime Minister of the Empire, the High Scholar Zai Yong.
As soon as Qin Gui took office, he received Jin Wushu's bayonet.
Wang Junhua had not seen Fourth Prince for a long time, he sincerely missed it, holding onto his written letter for a long time, waiting for his husband to return, he had already arranged a table of wine, and joyously said: "Old man, there's a letter from Fourth Prince."
At a glance, Qin Gui naturally wanted him to disrupt the Song Kingdom's strategy of resisting the gold. Wang Junhua saw that he was deep in thought and did not speak a word, and was slightly angered: "Old man, if not for Fourth Prince letting you go, you would still be herding horses in the Northern Lands, and the kindness of Fourth Prince, cannot be forgotten for a day."
Madam, please calm your anger. How could the lower official dare to betray the Fourth Prince? Just that, the new lower official Zai Fu is always in public, wouldn't he be impeached by that mad dog scholar? "
There were already people who accused Qin Gui of being a captive spy, Wang Junhua naturally knew, while the couple were worrying, he heard from the doorman that Fan Tong had come to visit. Fan Tong and Qin Gui had been studying in the same academy for a long time now, and Fan Tong was ranked first in the essay, so he looked down on Qin Gui. Unexpectedly, after so many years, Qin Gui was already the prime minister, but he was merely a seventh grade official, naturally he came to curry favor with Qin Gui.
Qin Gui laughed and said: "Fan Tong is a hungry official dog, of course I will reward him with this table of leftovers."
Fan Tong entered and sat down, exchanging a few polite words with Qin Gui. Qin Gui naturally did not conceal his former classmates and went straight to the point. "This old man will face it for the first time today. Since Your Majesty asked about the battle, this old man can only recommend that all the armies hold heavy positions and choose between the light and light forces."
Fan Tong wanted to show off, so he said: "Qin Chuanggong, why don't you try to make up for it with your yang attacks."
Qin Gui did not understand, and asked: "What is Yang Zhan Yin and He?"
"The lower official believes that peace is the foundation of a country's longstanding peace. However, there was a censor carbuncle barking inside, they could not openly advocate for peace talks. "Qin Chuanggong might as well put on a high front and use troops against the captives, promising them a great reward. But in private, they will prevent the generals from acting and coordinate with Jinguo."
These words struck straight at Qin Gui's weak point, and he said happily: "What a brilliant plan. But the other generals are fine, as long as Yue Pengju, Han Zhongliang and the other arrogant soldiers do not obey the orders, and rush forward … "
"Qin Chuanggong should know that my defenses towards martial generals are strict. If Yue Pengju, Han Zhongliang and the rest do not obey my orders, it will not be a matter of arrogance, but a heinous crime of disobedience."
Qin Gui thought back to how Zhao Deji was terrified of Li Qiong investing and said happily: "Let's do it this way."
Once Fan Tong left, Wang Junhua who was behind the curtain eavesdropping, walked out. "Old man, it's time for us to report to the Fourth Prince. Yue Pengju is a light and aggressive person, I am sure he will die this time. "
Qin Gui was also very pleased: "lower official had already told Madam to kill these two eyesores.
Wang Junhua was overjoyed, tugging at his beard: "Old man, wait till you carry Yue Pengju's and Hua Rong's heads, this servant will personally retract the two beautiful concubines for you."
"Thank you Madam for your great kindness."
Just as Yue Pengju was preparing his entire strength for his duel with Jin Wushu, he received a letter from the Gold from Lin An. On the yellow paper, Zhao Deji wrote that he was not allowed to accept refugees from the two rivers. Those that are accepted now are also to be expelled and returned back to the Jinguo.
This news was like a bolt from the blue. Yue Pengju patted the Desk heavily, his eyes blazing with fire.
Hua Rong was also shocked by the news. Since Li Qiaoniang's matter was mixed with the army, some of her thoughts were not announced to the general. Hua Rong immediately advised her husband: "We can call for an advisor to discuss this with us."
Yue Pengju then gathered the four most important people under his command: Li Ruoxu, Yu Peng, Zhu Fei and Sun Ge.
Li Ruoxu let out a long sigh and said: "To hold onto heavy soldiers, one must choose between light soldiers. That is to say, all the great generals must remain unmoved and allow the gold cuttlefish to act as he pleases."
Zhu Fei also said: "Now that Qin Gui is the leader, he is a spy. He will try his best to obstruct the war, to advocate for peace talks."
Everyone was discussing endlessly, especially the people who wanted to be expelled, they held warm hope and hope for the "Wang Shi", and wholeheartedly wanted to expel the prisoners to recover, but they did not expect that they would be sent back to the "Wang Shi", where they would then be "kicked out" (slaves).
Yue Pengju frowned. After a while, he said: "I will continue with my speech, stating the pros and cons of fighting resistance. I hope that we can buy some time and complete our great mission."
Hua Rong and the others also knew that it was just because of the trees that they were begging for fishes, but they were also serious in their discussion. Immediately, Zhu Fei drafted it himself and changed it one by one, and even tactfully mentioned that as long as they were successful in cutting down the north, they would remove their armor and return to the fields, and hide in the Eastern Forest. Then, Yue Pengju wrote down a copy and sent it to Lin An.
After sending them off, the couple did not sleep for the night.
The Little Tiger's head that had been lying inside her parents' bed for months was now in a deep slumber. The children grew extremely fast, were able to eat and sleep, and rarely cried. This made the parents feel a lot more at ease. He had only been with his parents for less than two months, and they had returned after a great victory. Hua Rong had brought her son with her, but after a short while, they parted again. At this time, Hua Rong was unable to console her son's cute little face, so she called Liuma in and carried the child away.
Although Yue Pengju was usually taciturn, when he was with his wife, he always spoke a lot of words. Tonight, he fell on his pillow, his heart in a mess, and didn't say a word. Hua Rong was the same, she gently held her husband's hand and said softly: "Back then, a famous general of the Qin Nation, Wang Jian, led a great army of 600 thousand to destroy Chu, before they left, she sent people to the First Emperor five times, asking for wealth and beauties, thinking that his descendants would seek wealth and riches. Some people thought Wang Jian was too greedy and coarse, but Wang Jian said, 'The King of Qin is ruthless and suspicious. Now that she has handed over all the troops of the country to me, how can I not be suspicious? I had to have more land to protect my children, so as to dispel his suspicions of me '. Right now, the Emperor is obviously using Li Qiong as an excuse to turn into a soldier, and is even more suspicious of generals.
Yue Pengju laughed bitterly: "Even if I wanted some land, I'm afraid I can't dispel his suspicions …"
Hua Rong slowly said, "I actually want to bring the tiger head back to Lian'an to see the mansion that the Emperor has bestowed upon us …"
Yue Pengju's heart trembled, he immediately understood what his wife meant. In order to fulfill her dream of fighting in the north, she was taking her son back to the capital to be a "hostage"!
He shook his head, "Sister Shi Qi, you can't!
"Why not?"
Zhao Deji was not the talented Qin Shi Huang. First, Wang Junhua viewed Hua Rong as a thorn in his flesh, and now that Qin Gui was acting as her vassal, she would definitely not let go of any opportunity to frame Hua Rong. Furthermore, according to the rumors revealed by the King Qin, after Zhao Deji became impotent, he had become mentally perverted, thus he had tried to forcefully bring Hua Rong into the palace several times. The last time Miao Liu Armament changed, Zhao Deji could already disregard Hua Rong's life and death, and now that Hua Rong was back in the capital, if there was any movement, she would probably kill Hua Rong and her mother without hesitation.
Yue Pengju shook his head vigorously, "If both of you were to go back, the odds are against us! Besides, other than wasting our time, there's no other way. "
