The sudden arrival of Emperor Gao Fei of China excited all the officials in Xiling City. This was the first time they had seen the current emperor. For this reason, the county government officials discussed with the richest man in the city to move his mansion to
The richest man knew that his mansion would be used as the emperor's residence, so he happily accepted it.
In the Xiling Hall, Gao Fei was discussing with civil and military officials how to minimize casualties. Suddenly he heard someone coming from outside to report that Huo Du had escorted Zhou Yu and Ouyang Yinying back. With a hint of joy on his face, he told the group
Chen said: "The loss of Zhou Yu in Soochow is like losing a pillar of the country. It seems that the annihilation of Soochow is just around the corner."
Xun You said: "Your Majesty, now that we have launched a war against the State of Wu, we should strike while the iron is hot and have the other three armies attack the State of Wu together. This is the best strategy to prevent the leader of the State of Wu from taking care of each other."
After hearing this, Gao Fei nodded and said, "What you said makes perfect sense. Immediately issue an order to the other three armies, instructing them to launch a general attack on Wu after receiving the order."
After finishing speaking here, Gao Fei stood up and said to everyone: "Let's come here first today, Gongda and Zilong stay, and everyone else can prepare for the battle separately."
So everyone retreated, and Gao Fei turned to Zhao Yun and said, "Zilong, are Gao Lin's Dragon Scale Army already in place?"
"The Grand Marshal has led all the Dragon Scale Army to their positions and can launch an attack on Jiujiang County of Wu State at any time." Zhao Yun replied.
"Very good, give Gao Lin an imperial edict immediately and ask him to launch an attack on Wu's Jiujiang County. He must capture Wu's important city Shouchun. As long as Shouchun is captured, Wu's power north of the Yangtze River will be
Be disintegrated." Gao Fei ordered.
Zhao Yun nodded and asked the soldiers around him to pass on the order.
After that, Gao Fei paced back and forth in the hall, waiting with an extremely complicated mood.
Not long after, Huo Du hurriedly walked in from the outside. As soon as he entered the hall, he knelt on the ground without daring to raise his head and said loudly: "To inform the emperor, the princess has returned, but Zhou Yu...
…”
"How is Zhou Yu?" Gao Fei heard an unspeakable secret in Huo Du's voice, and said hurriedly, "Say, I will pardon your innocence!"
"Zhou Yu disappeared..."
"Disappear? What does disappearing mean? You want to see people alive, and you want to see corpses when dead. How do I understand disappearing?" Gao Fei said angrily.
So, Huo Du told Gao Fei the exact story of how Zhou Yu disappeared. After Gao Fei finished listening, he looked gloomy, frowned tightly, and roared at Huo Du: "Damn it! Damn it!
!”
"Yes, yes, I am guilty of a crime that deserves tens of thousands of deaths. I am guilty of a crime that deserves ten thousand deaths. Please punish me..." Huo Du also regretted very much. At that time, he fell into Ouyang Yinying's plan and let Zhou Yu escape. If he had at that time
If you insist on checking on Zhou Yu again, you may still have a chance to save him, but now, everything is too late, and where Zhou Yu is has become a mystery.
Gao Fei said to Huo Du: "Get up and call the princess here. I won't blame you."
After saying that, Huo Du felt grateful and hurriedly ran out.
"Your Majesty, it seems that the princess has completely turned to Zhou Yu, otherwise, she would not have done such a thing." Xun You said.
Gao Fei didn't speak, but his face became increasingly gloomy. He walked back to his seat and waited there quietly.
Not long after, Ouyang Yinying walked into the hall alone. When she saw that there were only three people in the hall, Gao Fei, Xun You, and Zhao Yun, and the atmosphere in the hall was also very tense, she immediately knew what she was about to face.
"Long live your Majesty," Ouyang Yinying bowed to Gao Fei and then said lightly.
"Sakura, there is one thing I want to ask clearly about..."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to ask. I did it. If Your Majesty wants to punish me, just punish me. It has nothing to do with anyone else." Ouyang Yinying directly interrupted Gao Fei's words, and then said confidently.
"I just want to know why you are doing this? Do you know the consequences of doing this?" Gao Fei had a trace of sadness in his eyes.
"Because he is my husband and the father of my children, I have to do this."
"Must do this? Does that mean you can break your oath?"
"I won't betray you, so I didn't run away with him. Instead, I asked them to bring me back and then hand me over to you. You can do whatever you want, including killing me or cutting me into pieces." Ouyang Yin.
Sakura said decisively.
"It seems that you are hopeless." Gao Fei sighed softly and closed his eyes gently, but there was a feeling of melancholy in his heart.
For a long time, the atmosphere in the entire hall was extremely tense, enough to make people suffocate.
"Here comes someone!" Gao Fei suddenly opened his eyes, with a hint of fierceness in his eyes, staring at Ouyang Yinying closely, and shouted to the soldier standing outside the hall.
Before the soldier could react, Zhao Yun suddenly knelt in front of Gao Fei and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, I boldly implore you to think twice before you act. The princess is only thinking about her husband. As the saying goes, a married daughter is a spoiled child.
go out
It's hard to collect the water. Although the princess is not the emperor's daughter, she is still the emperor's sworn sister. She performed well in Liaodong and in the battle to pacify Yuan Shao. Please ask the emperor to show mercy and save others under the sword.
!”
"General Zhao, you don't have to plead for me. I am willing to bear the consequences of what I have done." Ouyang Yinying said.
Zhao Yun hurriedly turned to Ouyang Yinying and said: "Why don't you beg the Emperor quickly? The Emperor is not a heartless person. Stop saying anything and kneel down and beg the Emperor quickly..."
"Zilong." Gao Fei stood up, looked at Zhao Yun, and asked, "If you were me, what would you do?"
"Zilong will never be the emperor, nor can he be the emperor. Zilong has never asked the emperor for anything since he followed the emperor, but today, Zilong is willing to ask the emperor for a favor for the princess, hoping that the emperor can show mercy...
…”
"Your Majesty..." Xun You took a step forward and interjected.
Gao Fei hurriedly raised his wrist to signal Xun You not to speak. At the same time, he personally helped Zhao Yun up, and then said to Ouyang Yinying: "Let's go, someone will arrange a post for you in a while. From today on,
You will live in Xiling City for the time being and see how I can capture your beloved, or...carry his body back..."
When Ouyang Yinying heard the last few words, her heart plummeted. She was standing there confidently just now, but now she hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Gao Fei and said, "Your Majesty, please consider our relationship in the past.
For the most part, please don’t kill Gong Jin, I beg you..."
"You actually came to me to plead for Zhou Yu alone? In my mind, this is your first time. In the end, what kind of magic power does Zhou Yu have that can turn you into this?" Gao Fei said suspiciously.
"He has a heart that truly loves me, and that's enough."
"Love you? If I really love you, I won't leave you and your son alone. Wake up, Zhou Yu is just using you to help him escape."
"Even so, I am willing to be used." Ouyang Yinying's words were full of dissatisfaction with Gao Fei and love for Zhou Yu.
Gao Fei said nothing more, just waved his hand outside and said calmly: "You can go, someone will arrange a post for you."
Ouyang Yinying saw that Gao Fei's face had always been gloomy, so she stopped talking. At the same time, she glanced at Zhao Yun and thanked Zhao Yun from the bottom of her heart for interceding for her. After that, she turned and left.
Zhao Yun and Ouyang Yinying had known each other since early in the morning. Once, Zhao Yun and Ouyang Yinying went to attack Yitao City. The two hit it off. Zhao Yun took great care of Ouyang Yinying and completely regarded Ouyang Yinying as his little one.
Sister. Ever since Ouyang Yinying went to Wu State, the two of them would exchange notes and greet each other, which shows that their friendship is by no means ordinary.
After Ouyang Yinying left, Gao Fei put his hands behind his back and said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, do you even think that I will kill Xiaoying?"
Zhao Yun did not speak or make any statement.
"Zilong, I never wanted to kill her from the beginning, but I just wanted to ask the reason, but you..." After Gao Fei said this, he sighed heavily, and then continued, "Zilong,
Things in the army are too complicated, so you can go to the rear army to escort food and grass."
Zhao Yun cupped his fists and said, "Yes!"
Zhao Yun turned around and left without saying another word. He knew very well that he was too nervous. Because of this incident, Gao Fei's loyalty to him might be shaken.
After seeing Zhao Yun leaving, Gao Fei said to Xun You: "Gongda, what did you want to say just now?"
"It's nothing, I didn't want to say anything."
Gao Fei said: "You don't think I might want to kill Sakura, so you want to intercede, right?"
Xun You said: "I only think about the emperor, I have no other ideas, and I didn't pay attention to what happened today."
Gao Fei sighed heavily, but secretly thought in his heart: "Why do I bring so much pressure to them? Have I changed?"
"Your Majesty, Zhuge Liang's strategy was very clever. Although Chen Wu missed it by chance, overall, it was still a good strategy. Even General Huya was full of praise for Zhuge Liang. This battle made it easy for our country, Huaxia.
occupied
Building two important cities and defeating the Wu navy on the eastern front is also a great achievement. I just wonder how the emperor will reward him?" Seeing Gao Fei's thoughtful look, Xun You wanted to change the topic so as not to upset the hall.
The atmosphere here is so tense.
After hearing this, Gao Fei said: "Then what title can he be given based on his merits?"
"Zhuge Liang has done a great job this time. In terms of merit, he can be named a marquis."
"Then let's make him the Marquis of Qichun. It's settled." After Gao Fei finished speaking, he walked out of the hall, feeling a little unhappy when he left.
