When I looked outside the post house, I saw the figures of Anhe County officers running around, and some civilians among them, carrying wood and boulders in a hurry towards the city gate.
Although he was worried that his body would not be able to hold on, it was destined to be difficult to sleep well that night, so Chu Nanzhi led Sang Qi straight to the city gate.
There were only three to two hundred government officials in Anhe County, and together with the two hundred dead soldiers led by Li Ce and the civilian servants, there were only more than a thousand people. If they wanted to resist the fifty thousand cavalry in Yizhou, they would actually be hitting a stone with an egg.
All we can do now is hold on until reinforcements arrive.
Li Ce spotted Chu Nanzhi's figure in the crowd and hurriedly came forward and said with concern: "Brother and sister-in-law, it's already so late. You just need to have a good rest with the old lady and the little ones. There's no need to come here again."
.”
After thinking about it, he continued with a serious tone: "This place is only a hundred miles away from the capital of Langzhou. You have a good rest for the night. I will have someone escort you to the capital tomorrow."
"No."
Chu Nanzhi shook his head firmly, thinking that Chen Chuan had not heard from him so far, and sighed with regret: "Sanlang, you are the sibling I care about most, and the people of Anhe County are even more innocent. How can I leave you behind?"
As soon as you leave, we will defend this city together tomorrow."
Li Ce knew his sister-in-law's temper and was no longer stubborn. He gritted his teeth and replied: "Okay, I will definitely guard Anhe County with my brother and sister-in-law."
As he said that, he couldn't help but glance at her bulging belly: "I have sent people to reinforce the city overnight, and County Magistrate Hu has also sent orders to the police to recruit manpower throughout the city. Sister-in-law, you can rest assured and go back to the post house to rest tonight.
Leave this to me and Magistrate Hu."
"good."
Chu Nanzhi didn't want him to be distracted by her anymore, so she looked around the city gate and went back to the post house.
Knowing that the babies had gone to bed, and that Taotao and Qiqi had all settled in the post house, Chu Nanzhi originally wanted to send Liu Yun, the elders and the quadruplets away first, but she recalled the words that Xie Jingchen mentioned.
Princess Jing, she couldn't help but have worries in her heart.
Lin Yanjing?
Lying on the bed, she suddenly thought of Princess Yanjun in the palace.
It is said that during the reign of Emperor Chonghua, party strife was very fierce. The competition for favor among the concubines in the palace was no weaker than the struggle between kings. Even the naming of his heirs was particularly particular.
Except for princes and princes, the princesses and princesses are divided into two lines.
The concubines who were attached to Queen Yin Enci at that time were named after the character character, while the concubines who were in favor of the beloved concubine Shangguan Rou were named after the character Luo, so there were the three eldest princesses of Nanhua Temple.
Logically speaking, Lin Yanjing should be attached to the current Empress Dowager, but thinking about Lin Yanjun, she had some different views in her mind.
After all, she is the wife of a feudal official who has been married to a foreigner for many years. Even if her ancestors were somewhat kind to her, she may have forgotten all about it after so many years, let alone that she is not her biological daughter.
Among the feudal officials of all dynasties, once the court was in trouble, some of them would not harbor dissent.
The governors of the Han Dynasty, Zhou Mu, and the Jiedu envoys of the Tang Dynasty were all separatist warlords.
Fortunately, in the current situation, no one dares to call himself king or emperor without permission.
However, thinking about the arrangement of their ancestors, everyone only focused on the governor of Langzhou and never mentioned the governor of Langzhou. It can be seen that as long as Ji Rongheng is dealt with, then Langzhou will still be the governor.
The governor makes the final decision.
Lin Jinxiao was just pretending to be ill. Tang Ru was able to arrogantly assert his power in Pingning Prefecture, as if he didn't take him seriously. Not to mention that the governor of Langzhou had really been ill for many years. At this critical moment, the county officials could only
Take orders from the Grand Governor who holds military power.
No matter how capable a woman these days is, if she has no support behind her, who will surrender from the bottom of her heart?
Unless you can reach the realm of Empress Lu, Wu Zetian, etc.
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt much more at ease and began to plan Lin Jinxiao's trip north.
If you want to enter Jinling City, passing through Langzhou is the first step, and I don't know what the pretty boy will do.
In the palace of Prince Pingning in Pingning Prefecture, Lin Jinxiao had just returned from Haining County. Now the Baiyu army was pressing on the border. Although he asked Zhang Yu to lead the navy to the south for reinforcements, Xie Jingzhan expected that he would not have time to go south, and he also learned that he had a leg disease.
, then they coordinated with the Dongsang people to harass Haiphong from the east.
Fortunately, the Dongsang people did not seem to know his details. He led the coastal defense battalion and the garrison in the Beibu Gulf to jointly attack the Dongsang people's maritime base, directly captured the leader of the Dongsang people, Junmoto Ichiro, and annihilated more than 20,000 enemies, making a great gain.
A complete victory, making the eastern coastal defense stronger after the first battle.
After returning to the palace with great satisfaction, he received a message from Chu Nanzhi using a carrier pigeon. He learned that mother and son had arrived at the border of Langzhou and had also brought Xie Jingchen out of Jingling City. He was extremely happy and immediately
Ji Huaishu was invited to the palace.
Ji Huaishu also learned about what was going on in the capital, and his majesty issued an edict to welcome his nephew back to the capital. Both of them smiled happily when they met.
Sitting in the study, Ji Huaishu slowly sipped tea and said with a smile: "King Qinghe is really stupid, he actually raised an army to rebel, so it is logical for His Highness to go north."
"Not necessarily."
Lin Jinxiao took a sip of tea unhurriedly: "Let's not talk about Tang Yi in Yizhou, let's talk about Governor Rong Heng of Langzhou. Is he willing to follow me and join the King of Jingqin?"
"Although Rong Heng is a little stubborn, he is an upright person after all. As long as His Highness comes to Beijing under the imperial edict, I believe that he can distinguish right from wrong and help His Highness go north."
Ji Huaishu slowly frowned: "What worries me is another person in Langzhou City. I'm afraid she will cause trouble."
"Princess Yanjing?"
Lin Jinxiao shook his head disdainfully: "It's just a woman. If she is a person who understands righteousness, I will naturally be willing to respect her. But if she refuses to drink a toast and is fined with wine, then I will have no choice but to be rude."
"
After saying that, he immediately told Ji Huaishu: "Now that Zhang Yu is leading the people of the Duwei Mansion in a bloody battle in the southern border, I have no choice but to transfer Xu Jinzhou back to the state capital for my use, Sir."
"What do you want, Your Highness?"
Ji Huaishu knew that Xu Jinzhou was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers.
"Of course I am ready to welcome the princess and your highness and princess back to the palace."
Lin Jinxiao smiled calmly.
"Is His Highness planning to attack Langzhou?"
Ji Huaishu was vaguely aware of his intention and said worriedly: "This is not possible. At present, Pingning Prefecture has no troops to mobilize. Moreover, the navy has passed the Donghua River and entered the inland river. It will not be able to fight a bloody battle with the Langzhou cavalry. We
How to fight against 100,000 Langzhou cavalry?"
"Everyone deceives me that there are no iron cavalry in Ping Ningzhou. I am going to open their eyes this time."
Lin Jinxiao smiled and said, "Go and get ready."
Then Ji Huaishu sent Ji Huaishu away and personally replied to Chu Nanzhi's letter, informing her that the two thousand war horses Sun Wuji had purchased from the north had entered the racecourse for training.
In addition, the 3,000 war horses secretly transported back from Xing Huan last year were combined with the 2,000 cavalry that He Ying brought to the border of Langzhou. Now he has a powerful force that can gallop north.
He began to plan how to help Chu Nan Zhi's mother and son leave Langzhou.
