Xia Houkun opened the envelope, took out the letter, read it, and said with a groan: "This King Yu is quite useless. He can't even deal with a few rebels, and he wants me to poison Xiao Zhan and the others. What a waste!"
But then again, the twenty beauties he sent some time ago are all very impressive, and I like them very much, haha!"
After reading the secret letter, Xia Houkun's cronies frowned and said: "General, if you send troops to attack Dazhou without the order of the empress, you may offend the empress!"
"What are you afraid of?" Xia Houkun said: "The general will not accept your life. I said that their fighting has affected the territory of Beiyi. I sent the troops to defend the dignity of Beiyi. The empress will not
I blame the general."
"What's more, Princess Anqi and Xiao Zhan cooperated closely in the Tianjiao List Competition, and there are rumors that Princess Anqi also wants Xiao Zhan to be her consort, so Xiao Zhan must be eliminated, otherwise Princess Anqi will have
He, Princess Mingyue, has completely lost the qualification to compete with her for the position of future empress. Princess Mingyue is my niece, and as an uncle, I must help her eliminate all those who are conducive to Princess Anqi's rise to power, and help her rise to power!"
Beiyi is a country where women are respected. A woman can marry many men. Princess Anqi and Princess Mingyue are not the same father. Xiahou Kun's brother is one of the empress's men. Princess Mingyue is Xiahou Kun's brother and the empress's mate.
He is the uncle of Princess Mingyue, not Princess Anqi.
In Beiyi, children all take their mother's surname, so Princess Anqi and Princess Mingyue both take the empress' surname of Nalan.
Therefore, in Beiyi, "uncle emperor" is not the common title for all princes, but "uncle emperor" is.
Because the emperor's uncle is the brother of the empress, every prince of the empress has to take care of him as the emperor's uncle. Therefore, the emperor's uncle in Beiyi is equivalent to the emperor's uncle's status in Dazhou. He is the target of the title of king, and the emperor's uncle in Dazhou
Zhou Dynasty cannot be crowned king, only the emperor's uncle can be crowned king.
This is also the reason why no matter how brave Xia Houkun is and no matter how many armies he commands, he cannot be crowned a king and is only a duke.
"Send the scout eagles out and keep an eye on border movements. Report to the general where Xiao Zhan and the others appear at any time!" Xia Houkun ordered.
"Yes, General!"
Ten days later.
Xiao Zhan and his party were approaching the border between Da Zhou and Bei Yi.
At this time, an eagle blocked Xiao Zhan's path.
"It's a letter eagle." Qiu Yishan said, and immediately went over, opened the bamboo tube on the letter eagle's feet, took out the letter paper inside, read it and said to Xiao Zhan: "The letter said that the front defense is very strong and it is not suitable to rush in from here.
Let's go five thousand miles east and charge from there, the defense will be relatively weak."
"I think this was sent by the King of Northern Liang. He didn't dare to let us pass openly and resisted with all his strength to prevent us from passing. His army would have to pay heavy casualties, and killing us would not do him any good, so let's let him pass.
If we charge through the relatively weak area, he can reduce the casualties of the army and ensure that we leave Beiliang and enter Beiyi alive."
Xiao Zhan nodded.
Thanks to the great internal conflicts in Dazhou and their own evil intentions, otherwise he would not have been able to get here and he would have been eliminated at the junction of Tianshan Road and Beiliang Road.
"Follow what the letter says and move five thousand miles eastward," Xiao Zhan said.
A group of people immediately changed their route to the east.
And at this time.
Xia Houkun, the destined general of Beiyi, has led 10 million cavalry. They are moving with Xiao Zhan and others at Beiyi, 500 kilometers away from the border of Beiliang. The whereabouts of Xiao Zhan and others are all controlled by his scouts.
The eagle is watching.
As soon as Xiao Zhan and the others started to charge, he led his army to meet Xiao Zhan, and then killed Xiao Zhan and his party as planned!
