Chapter 400: The caravan arrives and the princess panics
"The reason why I want to let the army recuperate here for three days is to let the soldiers rest. Especially the soldiers in Xijing, after two consecutive battles and running three hundred miles overnight, they are extremely tired. Next, we will go To compete with the Wang Gu tribe on the vast grassland north of Fengzhou, both soldiers and horses need to retain enough physical strength. The second reason is to wait for the withdrawal of the Xixia army!"
"Now that the threat from the Xixia people has disappeared, it is enough to leave the necessary guards in Xiashui Town. In this way, we will be able to mobilize at least 40,000 troops. When the time comes, after joining forces with the general, I will I don’t believe that the Wanggu tribe can escape from the encirclement and suppression of our 100,000-strong army! This time, if we don’t scare them directly, we will never withdraw our troops! At least, we will fight for five years on the Western Front Let’s talk about your safety.”
Shen Tang's words were so resounding that they made everyone present feel excited and energetic! How great it would be if...if this was really his general. Having such a commander-in-chief was such a blessing.
Of course, if Heshi Liezhining heard the voices of these people, he would definitely burst into tears. These half-hearted ‘scumbags’, who were originally called generals, now want to switch to other people’s arms...
Next, Shen Tang arranged for tens of thousands of troops to consolidate the defense line of the Great Wall. At the same time, he also renovated the Xiashui Town. After all, after two wars, the town was in dilapidated condition...
As for the Xixia army under the Great Wall, there is no need to pay attention to him at all. As long as the rear is safe and there are enough manpower to garrison, it is absolutely difficult for them to attack the Great Wall from above. And there is no need for them to leave the protection of the Great Wall to fight with They fought hard. They had just lost the Xixia Army and had become a lone army. There was no need to pay more attention to it. Why should their own side suffer more unnecessary casualties?
In Xijing, since Shen Tang led the army to leave, Wanyan Yue is no longer as happy as before. All day long, her face is full of longing and worry! Every day, Bamu will be urged to inquire about the north. Battle report...
"Princess Princess!"
In the room, Wanyan Yue was sitting at the table, holding her chin in her hand, lost in thought. Even the little girl's footsteps did not bring her back to her senses. It was not until the little girl spoke that her long eyelashes trembled. , and asked with a bit of laziness: "What's the matter?"
"A small caravan came outside the city. They said they were here to bring gifts to the princess for others..."
Wanyan Yue was stunned when she heard this, caravan? Gift? What is going on? Who would give herself a gift in this way? Is there something weird about this caravan?
"How many people are there in this caravan? Who are they from? Have you explained who you are here for?" Wanyan Yue asked doubtfully.
"My servant doesn't know yet, but Master Bamu has already taken people out of the city to ask questions, and he should be back soon." The little girl said carefully...
Only a quarter of an hour later, Bamu hurried back with a somewhat strange expression.
"Bamu, have you asked clearly?" Wanyan Yue asked with some curiosity.
Bamu hesitated for a moment, and then said after careful consideration, "Princess, they are indeed just a caravan, there is no danger. They are from the Song Dynasty, claiming to be from Lin'an, saying... they said they were serving two people. Mrs. Shen’s order came to give the princess a return gift..."
After listening to Bamu's words, Wanyan Yue was stunned for a moment, and then stood up with a sudden movement. Her originally calm face was filled with a look of nervousness and uneasiness.
It's like the feeling of being caught by the principal's mistress...
"Dongmei, what should I do..." In panic, Wanyan Yue grabbed the only life-saving straw beside her.
However, the little girl Dongmei was already dumbfounded. During the period of contact with the princess, when she faced the master, she was the gentle and gentle lady, and when she faced them, she was the majestic but kind lady.
The master, when facing outsiders, is the domineering and majestic princess. But what does it mean at this moment? And who is the visitor? Isn't it from Song Dynasty? How could the princess become so flustered all of a sudden.
"By the way, Dongmei, help me clean up my makeup quickly. I have to be more formal." Wanyan Yue barely suppressed the panic in her heart and said to Dongmei beside her. However, the next moment, she said again:
"Bamu, where are they now? Are they still outside the city? How can this be done? Welcome them into the city quickly and be respectful!"
"No, forget it, you don't want to go, it's better for me to go in person..."
"But, I haven't dressed up yet..."
"Forget it, let's go to greet him first, Bamu, prepare your horses immediately? No way... Oops, Luan Jia didn't bring him here. Wouldn't it be too slow to go there in a sedan chair..."
It's chaotic, it's chaotic... At this moment, Wanyan Yue is completely panicked!
After a while, Dongmei made the decision. After all, if things continued like this, everything might be delayed.
Summoning several other little girls over, he dressed up Wanyan Yue as quickly as possible. On the other side, Bamu went to prepare the sedan chair, and then went directly out of the city, accompanying those people to wait for the arrival of the princess.
This was probably the shortest time for Wanyan Yue to dress up. After only two quarters of an hour, a group of little girls finished dressing up. Then, she got on the sedan and hurried out of the South City Gate.
go.
Outside the city, there is indeed a caravan. Moreover, it is a small caravan with only a few dozen people. The carriage they are driving contains some messy things, and they are waiting for the arrival of their master with some respect.
.
They didn't know the inside story of their coming this time, but their lady had prepared something for them to deliver to Princess Yongqing of Xijing. As for what they brought, they naturally didn't know. Moreover, at this moment, they
They were a bit uneasy. They belonged to the Shao family's caravan and often traveled in the north. Of course, they had also heard of the name of Princess Yongqing. According to rumors, this princess was very important. Not to mention them, even if
He was a noble among the Jin people, and he did not dare to provoke the princess at all.
"If you see Princess Yongqing in a while, please be honest with me. Otherwise, if you lose your life here, don't blame me for being ruthless." The leader looked like he was about forty years old. His name was
Yi Hongcai is also an old shopkeeper of the Shao family. However, he does not know what kind of relationship his young lady has with the princess of the Jin Kingdom.
"Brother, please don't be anxious, the princess will be here in a moment!" Bamu, who was accompanying him, looked at Yi Hongcai's cautious and careful expression and couldn't help but say.
