Qi Qinsheng, the crown prince of Yangli Kingdom, felt that the matter of inciting Gaoqiu to join forces to attack Anyu Kingdom was out of his control. Even if he said harsh words in his heart, he still felt uneasy.
And He Zexu, who lives in Loucheng on the border of Anyu Kingdom, is also very upset. He wants to fight with the soldiers and horses of Yangli Kingdom and Gaoqiu.
Soldiers, he didn't think there was any chance of winning with two against one.
However, the troops of the two countries who originally joined forces are now in this state of stretching their hips.
The fact that he couldn't fight happily made him feel that he had nowhere to vent the anger in his heart. He was annoyed that the current battle situation was beyond his control.
If he hadn't been tied down by his wife and children, he would have killed him single-handedly. If he couldn't be defeated, he would be defeated. If he died in battle, he would die in battle. Sooner or later, he would die, as long as he didn't feel so aggrieved.
Thinking of pretending to leave Loucheng, maybe the situation of the battle will change, for example, the opponent will take real actions.
Unexpectedly, he led a small number of troops and left Loucheng in a high-profile manner, saying he would return to Xuzhou City.
Loucheng obviously had spies from the other two countries. This news must have spread to the other side's ears quickly. As a result, he had been away for a few days, and the troops of the two countries were indeed on the move.
But instead of heading towards Anyuguo, Gaoqiu actually broke camp and retreated.
He Zexu, who was parked on the roadside for repairs and waiting, received an urgent report from the spies. It said that the emperor of Yangli State had ordered Zheng Gao, the commander of the Imperial Guard Army, to lead five thousand Imperial Guard troops to the border to supervise the war.
The general they used to attack Anyu this time was Yin Chengnan, and the emperor sent him to supervise the battle. This showed that the emperor was very dissatisfied with General Yin and had doubts about it.
He Zexu figured something out. No matter what tactics Yin used to play before, or for what purpose, his own emperor master did not trust him anyway.
This time their emperor has sent someone to supervise the army and supervise the battle. Seeing how this man surnamed Yin still plays tricks, I am afraid that this time a formal war will begin.
He Zexu immediately ordered to break camp and turn around and return to Loucheng to prepare for battle.
He had just led his troops to the Loucheng border camp, and before he could dismount, the spies sent him the latest news. When he opened it and read the contents, he almost fell off his horse.
Seeing him like this, the lieutenants and followers around him thought they had received some bad news, but looking at the troubled and depressed look on their master's face, they felt that the matter was not as simple as they thought.
How can He Zexu not be depressed? He came back from all the troubles and prepared to fight a bloody battle to teach Yang Liguo a harsh lesson.
Who would have thought that the news was that Zheng Gao, who was sent by Emperor Yangli to supervise the war, had just arrived at the military camp and was beheaded at the reception banquet that night.
Most of the 5,000 imperial troops he brought with him were injured by cartilage, and the remaining half were fine. They wanted to resist, but when they saw the head of General Yin with his eyes open in his hands, he immediately gave up the resistance.
He Zexu admired General Yin a little. Regular soldiers and horses, not rivers and lakes and green forests, actually had the ability to bring down thousands of soldiers and horses!
"Then what's next? Shall we continue to spend time here with them?" After entering the big tent and reading the contents of the new newspaper, Zhuo Yan also asked speechlessly.
It's not that he is warlike, it's just that he has been following his master for so many years and hundreds of battlefields, large and small, but he has never encountered the current situation, which makes him feel more than aggrieved.
This was a war between two countries, and the other side attacked first, and it turned out that they were just kidding.
And that Gaoqiu, you said that since they all joined in to kick it, they have been here for so long, and they finally withdrew?
"We'll wait and see." He sat down and drank a cup of herbal tea, which cooled his heart and made him sober. He also thought of something.
But, will it be what he thinks?
Yang Li had an informant arranged by him, but the manpower was limited, so the news was sent back during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
If General Yin is really a descendant of Tang Shu, the Duke of Protector, or a descendant of Duke Laozhen, then it can be explained that it would be like this.
In this case, the Qi royal family is not far away from annihilation.
Okay, I thought I would have to wait for a few years or more, but I didn’t expect to act so quickly, and I have already reached the point where I dare to attack the emperor’s trusted soldiers!
Thinking of this, the resentment stuck in his chest dissipated instantly.
"Go and order someone to buy some fat sheep and roast them for dinner tonight." Feeling good, he took out the banknote that Sanniang had given him before leaving and slapped it on the table.
Zhuo Yan grabbed it and walked out.
"Dad, what's going on in Gaoqiu? Why did the troops suddenly withdraw?" Xiao An, who had just returned from patrol, asked as he entered the tent.
I really wanted to tell my father what my mother had been busy with after they left, and it worked.
"No matter why they suddenly withdrew their troops, this account must be recorded by him. When we turn around and have time, we can settle the accounts with him properly." He Zexu was not interested in Gaoqiu's reasons for withdrawing troops, because even if Emperor Gaoqiu was aware of
It would be wrong to join forces with Yang Li to attack Anyu, and it would be useless to correct his evil ways.
Although King Taji is a man, who stipulates that men cannot hold grudges?
Magnanimity? Can a prime minister support a boat in his belly? That doesn't exist with him!
"Okay." Xiao An had no choice but to give up.
But he knows one thing, that is, sooner or later, his father will know about what his mother is doing now.
However, Xiao An is not worried. After his father knows that his mother has done some dishonest things, he probably won't think that there is anything wrong with her.
"Dad, is your mother so good in your heart? There are no shortcomings at all?" Xiao An suddenly asked curiously.
He Zexu raised his leg and gave his son a false kick: "You are so good, why do you ask this? Is it possible that in your heart, your mother is not good? She has shortcomings?"
"Of course my mother is the best. Dad, it's hard for you to go back and forth. My son is going to give you a basin of hot water to soak your feet to relieve your fatigue." After saying that, Xiao An walked out.
My mouth is itching. I know that my father is completely obedient to my mother, but I still ask such a useless question. If my brother hears it here, he will laugh again.
That night, all the soldiers and generals in front of the formation had a delicious meal.
Although I don't know if this is because Gaoqiu retreated from the army or for some other reason, I just ate as much as I could.
Wei Zijun, who was far away in Xuzhou, had not received the news so quickly. A special guest came to the government office. She, Leng Wuyi and Xiao Le were entertaining him.
"Lord Gu City, our Majesty has long been dissatisfied with that place. He was also a lot angry with them in the early years. If not, let's work together to swallow him up?" Gu Yan's uncle, after a few glasses of wine,
, what he said was a bit more direct.
"Then what?" Wei Zijun asked with a smile.
"Then, our family will divide half of it." Uncle Guo responded without thinking.
"It's not impossible, but this is not a trivial matter. We have to wait for my boss to come back and discuss it." Wei Zijun said this, and he was not perfunctory.
After Gao Qiu and Yang Li joined forces this time, Wei Zijun felt displeased.
"That's natural. I'd like to lend you a flower to offer to Mrs. Gu." Uncle Guo thought that Mrs. Qicheng would refuse his proposal, but he didn't expect that she did.
Wei Zijun picked up the cup filled with juice and said, "There are still official documents to be approved later, so let's forget about the wine." Now that she has a baby in her belly, she must not drink wine.
"Come on, come on, Leng will drink with uncle Guo." Leng Wuyi glanced at Wei Zijun, picked up the wine cup and greeted him.
Xiao Le, who was on the side, also glanced at his mother. What's going on? Why has her mother given up drinking these days...
