After benlei army and Fengxiang cloud riding led by Gu Qingcheng left for the north, the Yulin army and Fengxiang army were stationed separately. The Yulin army was in the north and the Fengxiang army was in the south, encircling the whole Star King City.
Gu Huairen, as the Prime Minister of Daqian, is naturally the commander of Tianxing battlefield, but his main account is not placed in Fengxiang army in the south of the city, but in Yulin army in the north of the city.
Zhongxing city has been besieged for nearly a month. The reason why Daqian has not launched an attack is to give Tianxing a period of time and let them make a choice between war and surrender. After all, the next thing we have to face is the tide of animals in xiyuanze. If we can win the Tianxing capital without blood, it will be the best.
Moreover, since Yan Tuohai and Qiu Xu and Gu Qingcheng met, Yan Tuohai and Qiu Xu's attitude has been relaxed. In addition, the legitimate sons of several major families have been put back. Gu Huairen, Wei Jiu, Gu Jieyun and others are fully confident that Tianxing will finally choose Xiancheng to surrender.
As for why there is still no movement in the city, on the one hand, the children of several big families just entered the city yesterday. On the other hand, it is also the most important point. These days, the interests of tianxinggaomen are different. They always have to figure out a constitution. When they still have some capital, they have to bargain with Da Qian.
Although many star city already had the intention of surrender, but Gu Huairen or hands two legions in the north and south, so as to prevent accidents. After all, Zhongxing city is located between Huangyan River and Guangji river. In case Tianxing, the last army in the city, wants to break through the encirclement and flee, it must go north or south after breaking through the encirclement, and then follow the waterway to Haikou and go out to sea under the support of Tianxing Navy.
At present, the military strength of Yulin and Fengxiang armies is better than that of Fengxiang army, because Fengxiang army has been fighting all the way since the battle of Tianxing. Even if Lu que does not use his strength and tries not to fight with Tianxing legion, it can not guarantee that Fengxiang army is not damaged at all. In addition, Gu Qingcheng has taken most of Fengxiang's elite yunqi away, So Gu Huairen put the relatively well preserved army in the north of Zhongxing City, and he himself was here.
The reason why Gu Huairen did this is that compared with the south of Tianxing, which has been occupied for several months, Daqian's control over the land of the counties south of Huangyanjiang River and north of Zhongxing city is far less than Guangji's seven counties in Henan because of time. If the Tianxing army in Zhongxing city wants to break through, it will choose to go north. Although this possibility is not very high, Gu Huairen made a response ahead of time. After all, the most difficult thing in the world is people's heart.
Only a letter from Yan Tuohai, the Duke of Wucheng, completely eliminated Gu Huairen's content, but the conditions Yan Tuohai put forward in the letter made Gu Huairen frown. In his opinion, the Yan family wanted to get married with Daqian nobles, which was beyond reproach in Gu Huairen's opinion. After all, it was a common method used by handed down families.
However, this candidate makes Gu Huairen feel very difficult. Crown prince Yu Minghao is the only son of the emperor. In the future, he will ascend to the throne and take charge of the country. As the empress of the future emperor, he must be cautious in his marriage. Even in a big family, he must have a clean family. What's more, he is once the daughter of an enemy royal family.
No one has the right to agree to such conditions except the Emperor himself. So Gu Huairen can only send someone to invite Yu Tianxiang, the eldest princess in the camp in the south of the city, to come and have a look at her views.
"Look for me, Gu Xiang." Gu Huairen has not been in the middle of the army's tent for two hours. The eldest princess Yu Tianxiang Shi ran comes in.
"Look at this, your highness." Gu Huairen did not delay, and so directly let the soldiers will Yan Tuohai letter to Yu Tianxiang hands.
"This is ~" Yu Tianxiang looked at the envelope of the letter, which was very different from Da Qian's style. He was very happy. During this time, they had been waiting for the reply, or the condition, from the Star City, and now they finally got an answer.
"Your Highness, let's see what's inside." Gu Huairen said.
Looking at Gu Huairen's dignified expression, Yu Tianxiang is stunned and quickly unfolds the letter. When he sees Yan Tuohai's proposal to marry his daughter to his younger brother, he is surprised.
Because Daqian was founded by the empress, her marriage was not entirely based on the instructions of her parents. Just like her father and empress, Lu Chun and her aunt Yu Chuqing, they met each other in the Academy, and then made a promise to stay together for a lifetime. Although the father is not unable to decide the younger brother's marriage, but such a marriage may not be what the younger brother wants, even if it is not the prince princess, but the side of the princess is still the same.
"Gu Xiang, what do you think of it?" Yu Tianxiang stares at the contents of the letter and thinks for a long time. She looks up and asks Gu Huairen. She can't decide such a thing. She can only listen to the opinions of the prime minister.
"Your Highness, the prince's marriage can only be the dictatorship of his Majesty's holy heart. How dare I surpass the rules." Gu Huairen shows a wry smile. If it's any other condition, as the Prime Minister of Gu Huairen's army, plus the approval of the eldest princess Yu Tianxiang, you can agree as long as it's not too much. After all, it's acceptable to pay some price for the destruction of the Star Kingdom compared with the military bloodless blade. But he and Yu Tianxiang can't be the masters of this matter. Now they send a letter back to the capital to ask the emperor to judge. It takes too long for them to come back. Gu Huairen really doesn't know what to do.
"As far as the present situation is concerned, such a condition can be agreed, but in case of the emperor's disapproval and Ming Hao's repentance, it will inevitably be another trouble. We, the royal family of the Yu family, can't break our faith when they throw their arms around the world. So we should be very careful about this. " Yu Tianxiang said.
"What is your Highness's idea?" Gu Huairen listen to Yu Tianxiang so, know her heart may have abdominal case, probing to ask.
"The Yan family is just planning for the future. I can swear by the reputation of Princess Daqian and the blood of the royal family of Yu that after Yan's return to Qian, he will never be scolded. He can enjoy wealth and honor. This can be written as Daqian's commitment to the Yan family." Yu Tianxiang said firmly.
Yu Tianxiang knows that the battle of Tianxing must end as soon as possible, and according to Lu Que's idea, he doesn't want to fight a siege war in Zhongxing city. Because after the collapse of Tianxing's last national destiny, xiyuanze animal tide will break out. Now Daqian has gathered all the troops he can mobilize to the south of Xinjiang, and built three lines of defense in Danshui, zhennanguan and Qingquan city. At this time, every force is precious.
At this time, according to the calculation of distance, the Changqing army and the left army guards led by Lu Kuo should be close to zhennanguan. From zhennanguan to the North Bank of Danshui, the two mountains are occupied by dragons and tigers. If you gallop, it's only one day's journey. Even if you march with luggage, it's only two or three days' journey.
Before Lu que went south from the imperial capital, he had ordered the canal water army of the Changqing army and half of the benlei army left behind in zhennanguan to repair the Qingshi fortress built by Qiu lie, the commander of the mad Lion War, in Longpan mountain and Huju mountain. In addition, the lack of time for the army to get there to set up defense is only 10 days at most.
Now the army of Southern Xinjiang is gathering, and the daily consumption is astronomical. Yu Tianxiang knows that even the national strength accumulated by his father and Emperor for more than ten years can not withstand such a loss. The battle of Southern Xinjiang has been going on for more than half a year. The granary in the southern part of Qingquan city has already been emptied. Now the grain, grass and materials of all the armies are transported from the granary of the imperial capital and the grain producing counties. If this situation lasts for one more day, the loss of Daqian will be more. As a member of the royal family, Yu Tianxiang hopes to end the seven month war as soon as possible.
"Your Highness, what if Yan Tuohai doesn't believe it?" Gu Huairen asked with some worry. After all, this is about the inheritance of the whole family. Yan Tuohai's proposal of such a condition must be thoughtful. In other words, only when Da Qian agrees to the condition and writes it in black and white on the paper, can Yan Tuohai open the gate of the star city and surrender to the city.
When Yu Tianxiang heard the words, he threw the letter on the desk and said, "empty words without foundation. Write down the princess's promise as the basis of their Yan Family's future. And explain our difficulties to him, and tell him that this is not something we can decide. If he insists on it again and again, we can only attack the city with our troops. "
"Is it a combination of grace and power?" Gu Huairen nodded after hearing the speech. Now star city has no strong will to resist as before. Especially yesterday, the legitimate sons of several big families came back home. Even now Yan Tuohai and Qiu Xu want to unite their hearts again to fight against the trapped animals.
Because he couldn't believe Xie, Chai, Qiu and Chen. With these powerful families in the city, Yan Tuohai didn't dare to concentrate on them, because he didn't dare to give his back to these people. But if he took the lead in attacking these four families, he might not have to attack the city, and the city would be in chaos. At the moment when Tianxing's ending has been doomed, no matter big or small families can do anything to ensure their own interests and inheritance.
"Your Highness, in fact, I don't think it's a good thing. I heard that Yan Qinglu, the daughter of Yan Tuohai, the Duke of Wucheng, has been very intelligent since she was a child. She has been known as a talented woman since she was 11 years old. If we only talk about marriage, it may not be a good marriage. Moreover, if the prince married Yan's daughter, it would be more conducive for us to carry out the State Administration of Da Qian in this star's hometown. " After thinking for a while, I said what I really thought in my heart.
"I've heard a lot about Yan Qinglu. It's said that he is young but has a peerless appearance, and has both talent and appearance. If seven of these rumors are true, this girl is a good match for Ming Hao. " Yu Tianxiang nodded, a side imperial concubine's position, in Yu Tianxiang's eyes is nothing, big deal his younger brother does not like, she is in the house, when more than one person to eat.
But the problem is that neither she nor Gu Huairen has the right to agree to this matter, and not only do they not, but also Lu Qian, who is in power at this time and controls all military and political affairs in southern Xinjiang, does not have such right. They are all ministers, and Yu Minghao is the monarch, the crown prince of the country. There is no reason for ministers to make decisions for the monarch.
Thinking of this, Yu Tianxiang said, "Gu Xiang, it seems that you haven't finished what you just said. I don't know what is the following?"
"That's what I think. We can promise to lead in the name of your highness and me, but we can't guarantee that this will happen. In this way, together with your Highness's guarantee, I think it will be enough to ease Yan's heart of opening up the sea." Gu Huairen said.
Yu Tianxiang thought for a while in his heart, and said, "plus Lu que, Princess Ben and the Lu family of Weiguo and the Gu family of Dingguo will come forward to guarantee. If this happens, the Yan family will have less scruples. Even if it doesn't happen, you and I will owe them a favor, which is enough to make Yan Tuohai feel at ease."
"The princess knows." Gu Huairen nodded with a smile. He was not afraid that he owed Yan Tuohai's favor after it failed. In his opinion, compared with the interests of Da Qian, these were too insignificant.
"Gu Xiang, there is news from the Xie family, Chai family, Qiu family and Chen family in the city." Seeing that Gu Huairen agreed, Yu Tianxiang nodded and asked again.
"Not yet. The childe of several families only went to the city yesterday. It should not be so fast. We'd better wait patiently for a few days. After all, we've been waiting for a month, and it's not bad for these days."
"Did Lu que write to inquire about this during this period?" Yu Tianxiang asked again.
The reason why Yu Tianxiang asked was to know what happened to Lu que. After all, compared with Tianxing 18 County, the vast world north of zhennanguan is the core of Daqian. What Yu Tianxiang is about to face is xiyuanze's animal tide. At a time when he doesn't know the outbreak time, the scale of the animal tide, and whether the animal tide will go south or North, Yu Tianxiang even has the idea of retreating to the south of Guangji River after the death of Tianxing, and then transporting most of his troops back to Daqian from the sea.
In Lu Que's eyes, Tianxing's hometown is as important as Daqian's, but in Yu Tianxiang's eyes, she would rather give up Tianxing's eighteen counties and transfer all her troops back to zhennanguan.
"Not yet." Gu Huairen shook his head. "Yilu lacks talent. Even if he is not here, he knows that forcing Tianxing down can't be completed in one day. He will certainly give me enough time. The reason why he didn't write to us is that he didn't want to mess up our steps."
Yu Tianxiang also nodded when he heard the speech. "Yes, with his mind and talent, these should be within his expectation. Don't ask at this time, it's just giving us space to operate. Then we'd better reply to Yan Tuohai first and finish the matter of star city. "
"Your Highness is also requested to write. Only in this way can we show our sincerity. I will sign my name with your highness at the end." Gu Huairen got up and unfolded a piece of phoenix pattern cloud shadow silk, which was used to write the national documents, and then gave up the theme.
