As the saying goes, soldiers are valuable and quick. When Xiao An rushed to Yuncheng with his soldiers and horses, he learned that his father had already left with his soldiers and horses.
Zhu Qing, the county magistrate of Yuncheng, had just sent away King Ji and had not yet returned to the Yamen. The Yamen servant came to report that General An from Liucheng had arrived with his troops.
Upon hearing this, Magistrate Zhu quickly rushed over in a carriage.
Yuncheng has become the fiefdom of King Ji, so he is now a local official in the fiefdom. Although he is still an official of the court, he must obey the orders of King Ji.
Just before King Ji left, he deliberately told him that the lord of the six cities was now his wife, Princess Ji.
When he is away from the fiefdom, if something happens to Yuncheng, he should report it to Mrs. Gu and let her make the final decision.
Although it is very unbelievable that King Ji and the Lord of the Six Cities became husband and wife. After all, there have never been any rumors of such signs.
To the public, King Ji was sent by the emperor to regain the city occupied by Mrs. Gu.
If peaceful recovery fails, war will begin.
No one would have thought that such a result would come out.
Now that they are husband and wife, everything belonging to Mrs. Gu naturally belongs to King Ji, and belongs to King Ji, which naturally means that it belongs to Anyu Kingdom.
When Zhu Qing heard this, his first reaction was that he was dreaming, because most of the dreams were absurd.
The second reaction is to breathe a sigh of relief and feel at ease. King Ji and Mrs. Gu are married, so naturally there will be no need to fight over the three cities of Xuzhou. As for the three cities of Xuzhou and the people of Yuncheng,
He said, this is really a great thing.
The identity of King Ji is here, and he is most powerful in leading troops to fight.
Although Mrs. Gu is a self-proclaimed city lord, her ability to turn several abandoned cities into what they are today shows that she is not an ordinary person.
When these two become husband and wife, it is tantamount to joining forces. From now on, no one in the cities here will dare to make trouble for them.
However, as soon as King Ji left, General An, who was rumored to be Mrs. Gu's son, came with thousands of troops. What does this mean?
To be honest, Zhu Qing felt a little uneasy.
It must not be that King Ji used any special means to make Mrs. Gu agree to be his princess as a last resort.
Then, as soon as she heard that something had happened in the capital of Anyu Kingdom, and that King Ji led troops to reinforce him, Mrs. Gu seized the opportunity and sent people to take over Yuncheng as well?
"Your Majesty Zhu Qing, may I ask General An who this is?" Seeing Xiao An, Zhu Qing asked seriously.
He knew General An well. He was young and brave and should not be despised.
"Magistrate Zhu, did King Ji leave someone here? I, the general, would like to meet him." Xiao An also explained the purpose of his visit very directly.
"What, is it inconvenient?" Xiao An asked when the other party didn't respond.
In fact, Xiao An was worried that Magistrate Zhu would not cooperate with him at all. If he refused to let him see him, he would just take action directly. The reason why a few people from the county government would ask the magistrate in a friendly manner, saying that it was for him.
His face was actually due to the fact that over the years, Magistrate Zhu had always been kind to his mother's six cities.
Magistrate Zhu thought about it and realized that it was useless even if he disagreed.
Even if the person who comes here is really evil, what can he do? Lead a group of government officials to fight against the other party? Are you kidding me? That's not overestimating one's ability and throwing an egg into a stone.
Anyway, if Mrs. Gu really wanted Yuncheng, it wouldn't be a bad thing, wouldn't she just get her wish?
Even if the court blames him, he will have sufficient reasons. If he can't defeat him, what can he do?
If the imperial court had the ability, they would not have regained the three cities of Xuzhou for so many years. Now King Ji has married the city lord as his princess. However, who can guarantee that he did not come to ask for a bride? The real power is still in the hands of the city lord, Mrs. Gu. Then, Yun
Is the city just a dowry stuck in?
"What's the inconvenience of this? I'm just thinking whether to take the general or order someone to invite the prince's people here." Magistrate Zhu quickly explained.
Believe it or not, you big-headed devil, Xiao An looked at Magistrate Zhu and muttered in his heart: "This general is a little anxious, so please arrange for someone to take me there."
When Magistrate Zhu heard this, he quickly ordered a government servant beside him to lead the way.
The yamen servant was ready to run after him, but one of Xiao An's men leaned over and picked him up, causing him to fly up into the air and land on the horse's back.
Seeing Xiao An leading the people away, the government servant next to Magistrate Zhu asked nervously: "Sir, will something happen?"
Magistrate Zhu shook his head and said with a smile: "There is no need to think too much. If something happens, can we change anything?"
The officer shook his head: "No."
"Then let's get over it. Let's go and go back to the Yamen. Whether it is a blessing or a curse, we can only resign ourselves to fate." Magistrate Zhu finished speaking lightly and turned around to get on the carriage.
Among the government servants following the carriage, someone whispered to the companion who was worried just now: "Are you stupid? In recent years, everyone has known it well. It is not just the people of Yuncheng who want to join.
Mrs. Gu, so are the adults in our family.
Although he never said anything openly, didn't he always turn a blind eye to some of the things Mrs. Gu's people came to do in Yuncheng?
Anyway, our adults are not timid and do not care about the lives of the people. It is a good thing that Yuncheng is in the hands of Mrs. Gu."
This statement was recognized by other companions around him, and it was indeed true.
Everyone couldn't help but start to expect that Mrs. Gu really decided to attack Yuncheng.
Here, County Magistrate Zhu took the government servants back to the government office and ordered people to make tea and wait to hear the news.
Over there, Xiao An saw the people left behind by his father, a thousand soldiers and horses, and the person in charge was Zhuo Yan, who was beside his father.
Zhuo Yan was depressed because his master didn't take him with him. When he saw Xiao An and the thousands of soldiers and horses behind him, he vaguely had an answer in his heart.
"General An, what is this?" Zhuo Yan still asked.
"Watcher Zhuo, let me tell you the truth. Your Majesty is now my general's father. He is now leading his troops to relieve the difficulties in the capital. I am worried and plan to bring people to help." Xiao An told him straightforwardly.
Hearing that he was really going to help the prince, Zhuo Yan was very happy: "Great, my subordinates are also worried. In this situation, the more troops, the safer it is, but the prince still insists on leaving a thousand soldiers."
horse.
General An, I’ll leave it to you to take care of the prince.”
"He is my general's father. It is natural for me to do what I do. However, I have a small problem during my trip. I hope Guard Zhuo can help solve it." Xiao An did not expect that his father would leave Zhuo Yan behind and follow Zhuo Yan.
We have been in contact with each other for the longest time, so we are quite familiar with it.
"What's the problem? General An, please tell me. My subordinates will definitely find a way to solve it." Zhuo Yan was anxious, hoping that General An would set off quickly. Maybe he could catch up with his master and arrive outside the capital together.
However, General An thought it was a problem. It must be a difficult matter. Can he solve it by himself?...
