In Songjing, deep inside the palace, in front of the bright mirror dressing table, a woman in palace clothes sits quietly, like a quiet and elegant white lotus.
When the maids and attendants tied her hair, she shook her head. When they drew her eyebrows, she shook her head. When they put on jewelry for her, she shook her head.
Don't want anything, just wear long hair shawl, bare face, and look at yourself in the mirror quietly.
Even if she is naked, she still cannot hide her peerless elegance, and her beauty is still breathtaking, but the frailty in her bright eyes is pitiful.
Her name is Aque, the most beloved concubine of Emperor Mu Zhuozhen of the Song Dynasty. It is rumored that she is the one who is loved by thousands of people in the palace of the Song Dynasty.
She didn't want anything, which made a group of maids panic and look secretly at the man behind the curtain.
Mu Zhuozhen, who was half revealed behind the curtain, waved his hand, and a group of maids quietly retreated.
Ah Que also stood up and left quickly, seemingly not seeing Mu Zhuozhen when he passed by him.
Mu Zhuozhen suddenly took her arm and said with a painful look on his face: "Qier, the saddest thing is me. The life and death of more than two million soldiers. If I don't agree, people inside and outside the palace will say that you have brought disaster to the country and the people. They
I will force you to death, I have no choice!"
Faced with Shang Jianxiong's rude request and after confirming that Meng Shanming would comply, the Song State finally compromised. Mu Zhuozhen agreed to hand over his most beloved woman, and the Yan State also made concessions on other conditions.
One hundred million gold coins turned into thirty million gold coins, and one hundred thousand carts of grain turned into thirty thousand carts.
Ah Que cleared his throat and chirped: "Quie'er understands that Your Majesty has no choice."
Mu Zhuozhen: "Do you hate me?"
Qiao didn't say whether he hated it or not, "Seventy million gold coins, 70,000 carts of food, and the life and death of two million soldiers. Qiao didn't expect that he was of such great value." As he spoke, he tried to push away Mu Zhuozhen's hand.
However, Mu Zhuozhen hugged her into his arms and wanted to kiss her passionately. Ah Que pushed him back and told her quietly: "Some people say that Que'er has brought disaster to the country and the people. She has 70 million gold coins, 70,000 carts of food, and 2 million soldiers."
Life or death, starting from today, Queer will never owe Da Song anything."
Mu Zhuo was really dumbfounded. She pulled away from her embrace and watched her leave quietly.
"Qier, I swear to God, I will finally welcome you back one day!" Mu Zhuozhen suddenly roared loudly.
Ah Que didn't look back and walked out the door. Mo Gao, the chief internal officer, bowed in salute, bending his waist to the end, with tears in his eyes.
With a bare face, Ah Qiao didn't take away any of Song's jewelry, and she didn't even ask for any of the maids prepared for her.
Apart from the clothes on her body, she only accepted a gauze hat handed over by the chief steward Mo Gao and put it on her head to cover her face. After that, she followed the monk and flew away on a large bird, leaving cleanly, as she said
That way, you will no longer owe the Song Dynasty anything.
There was no movement and he was sent off quietly.
It was not a glorious thing, so I didn't intend to let too many people know about it. Yan Guo also promised to keep the matter secret, but it would be strange if this promise could be fulfilled. It would be strange if Shang Jianxiong didn't make it known to the whole world.
Even though I knew I couldn't hide it from everyone in the world, I still had to send him off quietly, and it was impossible to send him off with a big fanfare.
Watching the black dots in the sky disappear under the eaves, Mu Zhuo's heart was as sharp as a knife. He closed his eyes and murmured to himself: "The birds have flown..."
…
"General, Commander Meng's military orders have arrived."
In the Chinese army's tent, a military order arrived. Fuzhou Governor Shi Xinmao read it and ordered on the spot: "Gather the army and retreat immediately!"
"Yes!" The generals took the order and left.
Zu Ande, the elder of Lingjian Mountain, asked at this time: "Is the war over the Dongyu River over?"
Shi Xinmao said: "There was no fight at all. The negotiations between the imperial court and the Song Dynasty had already reached a conclusion. The Song Dynasty paid the price. Song Emperor Mu Zhuozhen even gave his favorite concubine to His Majesty as a gift. The imperial court also sent the prince to the Song Dynasty.
The two sides formed an alliance to resist South Korea. Commander Meng obeyed the imperial decree and prepared to let Luo Zhao's troops come back. According to the agreement, our troops must withdraw first and allow Song's grain and grass to come over to supply Luo Zhao's troops."
Zu Ande said, "How could this happen? Aren't we going to cripple Luo Zhao's troops? Once Song Guobao has considerable strength, South Korea can only pick weak persimmons. If it doesn't attack Song Guo, it will
Maybe our Yan country is going to be invaded? What the hell is Meng Shanming doing? He finally managed to achieve this situation at such a high price. How did his planned strategy change? "
General Shi Xinmao handed him the order and said, "Didn't Commander Meng still keep us? Commander Meng said, let's see if Wu Gongling will take action. If Wu Gongling pursues them into the Song Dynasty, we will evacuate as planned.
, Luo Zhao’s men and horses are tired and short of food and cannot run fast. If Wu Gongling does not pursue them, we will take the opportunity to provoke and turn back quickly. We must reduce Luo Zhao’s men and horses by one million before we can stop!"
"Oh! That's it." Zu Ande nodded repeatedly after reading the instructions in the military order, and then hesitantly said: "The prince has been sent over as a hostage to serve as the basis for the alliance between the two parties. If we really take action here,
The prince is afraid that his life is in danger!"
Shi Xinmao sneered: "Elder Ancestor, is it important to us?"
Zu Ande raised his eyebrows slightly and remained silent.
…
"How is the food aided by the Patriotic State?"
By the river, Meng Shanming, who was sitting in a wheelchair, asked.
Gong Lince said: "We are still on the sea route. It is estimated that we will be able to reach Yan State in a few days. We will land from Nanzhou."
Meng Shanming: "Leave one third for Nanzhou."
Gong Linche didn't have any objections. This was a condition that had been agreed upon a long time ago. "The Song Dynasty's compensation this time will be transferred to Wei and Qi to pay off the debt."
"The Song Dynasty is willing to give 50 million gold coins and 50,000 carts of food. Your Majesty would rather give less than that woman. Don't you think it's ridiculous?" Meng Shanming asked coldly.
Gong Lince smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying nothing.
Meng Shanming looked away from his face and looked at the rolling river, feeling heavy.
From this incident, he could see that Shang Jianxiong's power in the Yan Kingdom still occupies a considerable weight in the hearts of the three major factions, and no one can easily replace it.
From the standpoint of the three major factions, we can understand the current situation of Yan State. The three major factions do not want any more internal troubles. Shang Jianxiong has to insist on things that he must insist on life and death. The three major factions have compromised.
"Commander, everything is ready." Zhang Hu came and reported.
Meng Shanming said expressionlessly: "Cross the river!"
Following his order, the people of Yan State officially crossed the river and returned to the territory of Yan State.
The same is true for Luo Zhao's men and horses. On both sides, you go upstream and I go back downstream, without disturbing each other.
…
In the pavilion, Hui Qingping was sitting upright, but Wu Gongling was not very honest. He couldn't help but reach out and touch Hui Qingping's chin while wandering around.
Bang! Hui Qingping opened his hand. Although the two were already husband and wife, in broad daylight, Wu Gongling was shameless, and she wanted to be shameless.
The attack was not gentle, Wu Gongling grimaced in pain.
Shan Dongxing, the acting head of Tongxiang Pavilion, who walked into the courtyard and saw this, was a little dumbfounded. At first, he only thought Wu Gongling was joking, but no one expected that this bastard would really succeed and get Hui Qingping.
.
He was also one of the witnesses. In order to keep it secret, it was really simple, just a few tables of wine and wine.
The wedding didn't seem to be important. He heard from the disciple who was responsible for protecting Wu Gongling below that Wu Gongling had already taken care of the bridal chamber before the wedding, and left the bridal chamber with injuries to seek treatment from people in Tongxian Pavilion.
Recently, it has been better to have a bridal chamber every day. Shan Dongxing is really convinced by Wu Gongling and Hui Qingping. How can he tolerate someone like Wu Gongling.
"General, madam." Dan Dongxing showed up and said hello.
Hui Qingping couldn't adapt to the title "Madam" for a while, and her face turned cold.
Wu Gongling understood Dan Dongxing's look, turned around and pulled Dan Dongxing away together.
After arriving at a remote place, Dan Dongxing joked: "The general's complexion is really not that good recently, he needs to control himself!"
Wu Gongling chuckled and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter?"
Dan Dongxing also whispered: "There is a letter from Meng Shanming, asking us to cross the river immediately, otherwise Shi Xinmao's men will change their route and come towards us. He said he will do what he says!"
"Damn it!" Wu Gongling groaned, "Everyone thinks I'm easy to bully, so just wait for me!"
Although he said this, he was still a little afraid of Meng Shanming, especially the situation where Meng Shanming went on a killing spree in the Song Dynasty, which made his hair stand on end. Now he was willing to give him a way to survive and let him get out of the Yan Kingdom immediately. He didn't
Reason for not agreeing.
This guy was unscrupulous in order to protect himself. When Jin Jue contacted him, he contacted Meng Shanming and sold Jin Jue.
While he was bargaining with Jin Jue, he was also bargaining with Meng Shanming.
Jin Jue underestimated his shamelessness. To be precise, Jin Jue underestimated Wu Gongling's fear of Meng Shanming.
Just because he had stayed under Meng Shanming for many years and knew what kind of person Meng Shanming was. If a traitor like him had no value, Meng Shanming would definitely deal with him.
Although the thing he did was despicable, he managed to save himself during the battle between the two countries. Otherwise, after Meng Shanming destroyed Song Guo's Jiang defense troops, there would definitely be a group of people who came to deal with him first. As a result, he succeeded in letting Meng Shanming temporarily
Forgetting his existence, Meng Shanming led all his troops to invade the territory of the Song Dynasty.
In fact, he not only betrayed Jin Jue, but also sold Meng Shanming, secretly bargaining with the Song Dynasty court.
He wants to stabilize which parties should be supported first, which side he should agree to, and who he should listen to. He wants to make the final decision based on the situation of the battle.
Although despicable, in Dan Dongxing's opinion, this guy is indeed very capable for being able to survive among several powerful forces and turn himself into the key point in the battle between several parties.
…
"Crossing the river? Crossing the river before fighting?" Jin Jue was stunned and quickly received the information and checked it.
The general who sent the message said: "Yes, Luo Zhao's men and horses all crossed the river and returned to the Song Dynasty, and Meng Shanming did not stop them."
At this moment, another report came from outside, and a man came in to report: "Wugongling has learned that Luo Zhao's men and horses have crossed the river, and they are gathering their men and horses to cross the river, preparing to chase and kill Luo Zhao's men and horses!"
"What?" Jin Jue threw down his hand and checked the newly arrived intelligence. After reading it, he frowned and said: "Is this guy crazy? Luo Zhao's more than two million troops can be ignored because they are weak, but Shi Xinmao's troops have not yet
Withdraw, do you want to crash into it and die? No..."
