Chapter 281: The Battle of Spring [Two in One](1/2)
Just when the Korean general Yanmenshou Li Muyi was preparing to become a lone hero to help the country without hesitation, King Huan Zhao Xuan had already led his Northern First Army back to Anyi in Hedong County.
At this moment, Anyi was being managed by Luo Yao, another counselor beside King Huan Zhao Xuan. After learning that the prince had returned to Anyi with his army, Luo Yao hurriedly went out of the city to greet him.
At this time, Luo Yao had already received a letter from Wei Ji, the governor of Hedong. Therefore, he was not surprised that King Huan Zhao Xuan led the army back to Anyi. He was only surprised that Zhao Xuan appointed a surrendered general and successfully continued to govern Jinyang.
One thing, I felt a little surprised.
Seeing this, Zhao Xuan then explained: "This was Zhou Min's suggestion. He felt that this move might test Le Cheng's loyalty to me, the great Wei Dynasty."
Luo Yao nodded after hearing this.
He also felt that Zhou Min's suggestion was very good. After all, in terms of the current general trend of the "Wei-Korean Alliance", Wei could not forcefully occupy Jinyang, otherwise he would inevitably be accused of being ugly, but if he surrendered his generals and successfully continued
There would be no problem in governing Jinyang. After all, it was not known to everyone that Le Cheng had secretly defected to Wei.
"Where's Zhou Min?" Luo Yao asked curiously.
"Still in Yao County." Zhao Xuan explained: "For the sake of caution, he decided to station an army in the Jieshan area to prevent a successful rebellion."
"It won't happen." Luo Yao said with a smile.
In his opinion, if the "rebellion" succeeds, the most it will do is lose Taiyuan, which originally belonged to South Korea in name only. Does the success dare to ignore the king's order from Jicheng and declare war on Wei?
"Zhou Min also feels that it is impossible for success to betray me, the Wei Dynasty, but it is better to be careful." After saying that, King Huan Zhao Xuan turned the topic to the war in Hedong: "How is the war situation in Hedong right now?"
Luo Yao heard this and said seriously: "I just received the battle report from Lord Wei Ji two days ago. According to the battle report, the Hedong Army is currently confronting the Qin General Wang Jian in the Xiayang and Fenyin areas... Wang Jian's army seems to be insufficient in strength and has not yet been
What kind of threat does it pose to the Hedong Army, but Lord Wei Ji does not dare to take it lightly. After all, Qin’s garrison in the north, in addition to Qin General Wang Jian in Xihe, also has soldiers and horses from Wuxinhou Gongsun Qi..."
King Huan Zhao Xuan listened quietly to Luo Yao's description. After listening, he nodded and said: "The army has just returned to Anyi. It will take two or three days to reorganize. Please send a letter to Fenyin and tell Hedong to guard Wei Ji, saying that I will be here
In three days, he will lead the Northern First Army to support Fenyin and ask him to prepare in advance."
"Yes!" Luo Yao responded with cupped hands.
On the same day, King Huan Zhao Xuan handed over the matter of reorganizing the army to generals Zhang Ao, Li Meng and others, and returned to the palace in Anyi City.
After returning to the palace, he hesitated between going back to the "study" or the "master bedroom".
The master bedroom actually refers to the bedroom where his wife "Han Ji" lived. She was the Korean princess who married into the Wei Kingdom due to the marriage between Wei and Han when the late king Zhao Si was still alive, and Han Wangran's cousin.
Over the years, the relationship between Zhao Xuan and the Han family has not been harmonious. The reason is simply that the couple has always had differences on the issue of Korea. In fact, to be more precise, it was because King Huan Zhao Xuan had a thorn in his heart and did not want to see Koreans.
.
Thinking about it, in the past twenty years, South Korea and Wei have fought four wars. It is strange that the Wei people have a good impression of South Korea.
But this time, after hesitating for a while, King Huan Zhao Xuan walked towards the master bedroom of the north house.
It may be because he has been in a good mood recently. After all, his invasion of Taiyuan County was a great victory. Not only did he capture Jinyang, but he also forced the landing of famous Korean generals, and the defense of Taiyuan was successful; it may also be because he has learned that South Korea exists in name only.
, so I don’t know what I think, but I want to see Han Ji.
Zhao Xuan had two sons and a daughter. The eldest son was named "Hu", the second son was named "Po", and the daughter was named "Shang". They were all born to the side wife.
Yes, the main wife, the Han family, has no children.
It's not that this Korean princess can't have children, it's just that Zhao Xuan doesn't like this daughter and they haven't slept together several times throughout the year. It's strange that the Han family came out.
It is worth mentioning that Zhao Xuan once thought about divorcing his wife and asked Zhou Min, Zhang Ao, Li Meng and others privately. Zhou Min and others had long known that Zhao Xuan and the Han family were not getting along, and most of them supported Zhao Xuan.
After all, in the eyes of Zhou Min and others, the late king Zhao Si's promise of this marriage was just to ease the relationship between Wei and South Korea. But now, his Wei country no longer needs to fear South Korea, and Zhao Xuan, the Han family and his wife
If the relationship between people is not harmonious, why bother to maintain it by force?
However, this matter was strongly opposed by Luo Yao. Luo Yao persuaded Zhao Xuan for only one reason: that is, the mistress has not done anything immoral in these years, so how can she divorce her legitimate wife?
In addition to Luo Yao, Zhao Xuan's mother, Queen Mother Shen, also strongly opposed it. She even called Zhao Xuan to him and scolded him, which made Zhao Xuan give up the idea.
As a result, Zhao Xuan later took in several of his favorite concubines and gave birth to Zhao Hu, Zhao Bo, and Zhao Shang.
After a while, Zhao Xuan came to Han's bedroom, knocked on the door, opened the door and walked in.
After entering the house, he found that Mr. Han was sitting on a chair next to the table in the house, leaning on the table, as if he was tired and taking a nap.
On the table, there are also some belongings of female workers and a piece of silk that has not yet been embroidered.
Looking at Han's thin body and thin clothes, Zhao Xuan frowned slightly, and after looking around for a few times, he took a piece of clothes and put it on her body.
Perhaps this movement alarmed Ms. Han who was taking a nap. She suddenly raised her head as if frightened. When she saw it was her husband, she breathed a small sigh of relief and felt a little overwhelmed.
Seeing this, Zhao Xuan said calmly with almost no fluctuation: "The weather is still cold, be careful to catch cold."
Only then did Han notice the clothes draped over her body, holding a corner of the clothes with one hand, and became more and more hesitant.
She had almost forgotten the last time they talked.
After a long time, Mrs. Han whispered: "Husband, husband...are you back?"
"Hmm."
"Over there in Taiyuan..."
"I have conquered Taiyuan. And South Korea... has surrendered to me, the Wei Dynasty."
"oh……"
After a few awkward conversations, the room suddenly fell into silence again.
Perhaps because he couldn't find any topic, Zhao Xuan pointed to the silk cloth on the table and asked, "What is this?"
Mrs. Han breathed a sigh of relief, as if she felt relieved to have a new topic. She quickly explained: "I sewed this for Chang'er..."
The Chang'er she mentioned was the daughter born by Zhao Xuan's side wife.
"Oh?" Zhao Xuan asked in surprise when he heard this: "Why give it to Chang'er alone?"
"Is she jealous?"
Zhao Xuan secretly guessed.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Han explained: "The two sons, Hu'er and Po'er, are very well taken care of by the family. Only Chang'er is a little... Well, I don't have anything to do on weekdays anyway, so why not..."
While she was talking, she secretly looked at her husband's face, and it could be seen that she was actually a little afraid, or in other words, uneasy.
It's no wonder, after all, the fact that the relationship between the couple is not harmonious cannot be hidden from the upper and lower levels of the palace. This makes the Han family not very respected in the palace. If not for the Queen Mother Shen in the distance, Luo Yao is nearby to take care of this Huan. Princess, I believe that the Han family will not have an easy life in the palace.
"I see."
Only then did Zhao Xuan suddenly realize.
Brothers Zhao Hu and Zhao Po are his sons, so they will naturally be taken care of by everyone in the house. Zhao Shang is a daughter, so naturally she is not as valued as her brothers.
Preferring boys over girls has been the case since ancient times.
To be honest, this is all thanks to Zhao Xuannai being Zhao Run's brother. Under the influence of his brother, he also likes his daughter quite a lot.
"This woman is actually..."
After understanding the reason, Zhao Xuan secretly looked at Ms. Han and thought about it carefully. In fact, Ms. Han had not done anything to make him feel annoyed. It was just her background that made Zhao Xuan feel a little unhappy - he was the most disgusted. It was South Korea that had repeatedly threatened his Wei state.
Seeing her husband-in-law staring at her unblinkingly, Ms. Han was quite at a loss, frightened and shy, and kept her head down in silence.
"Have you heard of success?" Zhao Xuan suddenly asked.
Ms. Han raised her head when she heard the words, feeling a little dazed. After hesitating for a while, she said cautiously: "I've heard of it before, but it's me, Dahan..." At this point, she seemed to have thought of something, something a little bit... In panic, he immediately changed his words: "I am a general from my home country."
"..."
Zhao Xuan looked directly at Han.
Yes, it was because when Han first married him, he never corrected the title and kept saying "I am Dahan", which made Zhao Xuan feel extremely disgusted - you must know that he was disgusted with this marriage in the first place, but he didn't have him. The elder brother Zhao Run was so courageous that he did not dare to disobey his father, Zhao Si.
But I don’t know why, this time Zhao Xuan didn’t have much resentment in his heart after seeing Han’s ‘gaffe’.
Probably this is because South Korea has surrendered to Wei.
All in all, he was in a good mood.
"That's right!"
Just when Han was panicking, Zhao Xuan chuckled and said: "South Korea's famous general is successful and has surrendered to me this time!"
"..." Mrs. Han was a little surprised that her husband didn't get angry this time. After blinking in confusion, she whispered: "Gong, congratulations, husband... As far as I know, that success seems to be a very powerful man." Where are the generals?"
"Hehehehe..."
Zhao Xuan was very happy when he heard this.
In the past, when he looked at Mr. Han, he always disliked her, but now, it seems that there is nothing that makes him angry.
At least when he was showing off his "successful surrender", Mr. Han complimented him cooperatively, even though he seemed a little trepidatious.
This made Zhao Xuan couldn't help but reflect on whether he had transferred his anger towards South Korea to the Han family in the past. Is this unfair?
Just when Zhao Xuan and his wife, Han, were chatting harmoniously for the first time, chatting about the former's achievements in conquering Taiyuan County, there was a knock on the door outside the house.
Immediately, the voice of Yi Cheng Luo Yao came from outside the house: "Your Majesty, I heard that you came to the mistress?"
He was the Yichen (retainer) of King Huan Zhao Xuan, so he called himself a subordinate.
Zhao Xuan was a little surprised. He raised his hand to signal Han, who was about to get up to open the door, to sit on the chair. He got up and opened the door himself: "What's wrong, Luo Yao."
"Your Highness, Princess." Luo Yao first bowed respectfully to Zhao Xuan and the Han family in the room, and then whispered: "Lecheng sent someone to send an urgent message."
