That day, a special team appeared on the streets of Daliang City.
I saw groups of soldiers and guards who used to be responsible for public security, beating gongs and drums and walking through the streets and alleys of Daliang City, attracting countless residents of the city to stop and watch.
"What happened?"
"Could it be that the Chu army has reached Daliang?"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
The people watching were whispering, some were curious and some were worried.
At this time, an official in the guard team was seen shouting loudly: "We, the people of the Wei Dynasty, are listening to the good news: King Hongrun of Su, led by the Jun Shui Army and the Yanling Army, defeated the Chu Division, leaving 160,000 soldiers in Yingshui County.
The Chu army that invaded my Wei Dynasty was completely wiped out... The people of our Wei Dynasty no longer have to worry about the Chu army attacking our Wei Dynasty. Those Chu dogs have been destroyed by His Highness King Su of our country!"
The people watching around were all stunned when they heard these words.
You must know how ferocious the Chu State's attack on their Wei State was in July and August this year. In just a few months, seven or eight cities fell in succession. But now, just over three months later, the Chu Army unexpectedly
The entire army was wiped out?
"Is the news true? Is it the news that the imperial court released to fool us?"
A strong man standing in the crowd couldn't help but ask.
I saw the official standing among the soldiers staring back and scolding: "Your Majesty has already learned about this matter. His Majesty's golden words, don't you still believe it?" After that, he glared at the rude man and said,
He cursed: "If I hadn't been in such a good mood today, I would have put you in a cage for daring to question the imperial court..."
Amid a burst of laughter from the people, the man scratched his head in embarrassment and did not dare to speak any more.
However, there are also many people who are puzzled by the Su Wang Hongrun that this official is referring to. After all, Zhao Hongrun was not well-known outside the palace in the past. It is no exaggeration to say that the people in Daliang City do not even know the name of his prince or what he looks like. After all,
Zhao Hongrun has not yet left the cabinet and opened a mansion.
"Prince Su... Sir, who is Prince Su Hongrun? Could it be some prince?"
"Exactly!" The official explained seriously: "King Su Hongrun is the eighth son of His Majesty. He is fourteen years old and has not yet left the cabinet to establish a government..."
"coax……"
When the people around him heard this, they immediately started talking.
They simply couldn't believe that the young eighth son of the fourteen-year-old Emperor Su Wang Hongrun actually led their Wei soldiers to defeat a total of 160,000 Chu troops. This achievement was enough to shame the Wei Dynasty.
Most of the boys in the country.
"Could it be that His Highness Prince Su is also a natural genius like Qilin'er?"
Some people in the crowd couldn't help but mutter.
Hearing this, the people of Daliang couldn't help but think of another prince who was famous in the capital, the sixth prince Zhao Hongzhao. He was also a royal wizard who became famous in Daliang in his teens.
When thinking of this sixth prince, the people of Liang couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
Because two months ago, before and after the Junshui Camp army set out from Daliang, news came out from the court: the sixth prince Hongzhao was conferred the title of Prince Rui and would go to the capital of Qi as a hostage that day.
Anyone with some insight can figure out why Prince Rui Hongzhao, the prince who was once the most favored by the Emperor of Wei, went all the way to Qi to be a hostage. It was simply because Chu's invasion of Wei was too strong at that time.
It was so fierce that even the Emperor of Wei was worried that he could not resist it, so he had to let his favorite prince go to Qi State as a hostage in exchange for Qi State's support for Wei State and help Wei State share the pressure from Chu State.
"Not only King Rui, but His Highness King Yan has also gone to Nanyan a long time ago? Nanyan. That was the place where we, the Wei Dynasty, and North Korea fought in the past." Someone who was well-informed could not help but ask the people around him.
The people revealed.
"This is the so-called prince guarding the country, and the king dying in the country..." An old man said excitedly, leaning on his cane and trembling.
Someone nearby who didn't know about it might ask in surprise: "Old man, where did you hear this sentence...?"
The old man leaned on his crutch and said with emotion: "Lao Chan's youngest son is serving as a soldier in Junshui Camp. He heard it from His Highness King Su... Before leaving Junshui Camp, the bad boy returned home once to say goodbye to Lao Chan.
..." At this point, the old man couldn't help but burst into tears: "It's so pitiful, Junshui Camp finally defeated those brutal Chu dogs. In this way, even if my son dies on the battlefield, it's worth it!"
After hearing these words, the people nearby couldn't help but look at the old man with respect.
And more people tried to persuade them: "Old man, what the Dredging Battalion achieved this time is a great victory. What is a great victory? What is a great victory? Killing all the Chu dogs while our soldiers suffered very little loss is what we call a great victory."
...Don’t worry, father-in-law, your little son will definitely come back victorious."
Facing the advice and comfort from the neighbors, the old man nodded happily and said yes again and again.
Similar scenes were staged in the streets and alleys of Daliang City. If we say that two months ago, the three princes, King Yan, King Rui, and King Su, had to go to their respective battlefields due to the invasion of the Chu army. This incident made
The soldiers and civilians in Daliang City became increasingly worried about the fate of the Wei Dynasty. Now, when the news that King Su defeated the Chu army that invaded Yingshui County spread throughout Daliang, the people in Daliang City couldn't help but lament the noble virtues of these three princes.
Taste.
In just one day, the popularity of the three princes, King Yan, King Rui, and King Su, surged in the capital, seeming to overwhelm the other princes.
In the crowd, a little girl also stood on tiptoes to look at the group of soldiers who were gradually going away. If she looked carefully, she was clearly Miss Su's maid Lu'er in the Cuixiao Pavilion on the waterside.
She tilted her head and listened to the comments of the people around her for a while, then ran back to Cuixiao Pavilion on a waterside pavilion.
In Cuixiaoxuan, Zhao Hongrun's confidante, Miss Su, was absentmindedly stroking the strings of the piano. Since Zhao Hongrun had been away from Daliang for three months, but no letter had been sent yet, this inevitably made her a little worried, and even started to
Start thinking wildly.
With a "squeak" sound, the door opened, and the little maid Lu'er ran in happily.
Seeing this, Miss Su suppressed the annoyance in her heart and asked, "Lu'er, why is there so much noise on the street? What happened?"
"Yes!" Lu'er nodded vigorously and said with a longing look on his face: "Miss, something extraordinary has happened!... Our eighth prince of the Wei Dynasty, King Su Hongrun, defeated the invading Yingshui of our Wei Dynasty.
There are 160,000 Chu troops in the county!"
Seeing Lu'er making exaggerated gestures with her hands, Miss Su smiled slightly. She didn't really care.
However, Lu'er did not see Miss Su's expression, and said enthusiastically: "It's really amazing, that His Highness Prince Su..."
Seeing her nymphomaniac look, Miss Su smiled and joked: "Why, the little girl is in love with spring?"
"I'm just thinking about it." Lu'er blushed and held her cheek in her hands, and said shyly: "I heard that His Highness Prince Su is only fourteen, and I am two years older than him, so that's appropriate, right?"
At this point, she sighed. She pursed her lips and muttered: "It's a pity that he is a prince. That's what a little girl like me can climb up to. I don't know whose daughter will be so lucky in the future that she can marry into the royal family."
Prince’s Mansion…”
fourteen?
Miss Su was stunned when she heard this, frowned and asked: "That Prince Su is only fourteen?"
"Yes."
"What's his name?"
"Hmm...Hongrun." The little girl thought for a while and replied.
"..." Miss Su opened her mouth, but stopped talking.
Hong Run...Jiang Run...are all fourteen years old...and almost all left Daliang in August...
The more Miss Su thought about it, the more frightened she became.
"Miss, what's wrong with you? Your face doesn't look good?" Lu'er asked with concern.
"It's okay." Miss Su smiled reluctantly, but she was a little anxious in her heart.
She was afraid that her little man Jiang Run was none other than Su Wang Hongrun, because this meant that the little man she thought about day and night was currently on the most dangerous frontline battlefield in Wei Dynasty, and what was even worse was that the other party showed up.
The family may become a huge obstacle to the two of them.
At the same time, in the Yongwang Mansion, Yongwang Hongyu also learned the news from Zongwei Zhou Yue.
"You mean, Xiaoba not only defeated the 160,000 Chu army, but also the entire Chu army was wiped out?"
"Exactly... This is the news coming from the Ministry of War. There is no way it is false."
"This is really..." Yongwang Hongyu couldn't help but laugh, clapped his hands and said happily: "Okay! Okay!"
"Is it really good?" Zongwei Zhou Yue reminded hesitantly after hearing this: "Right now, in Daliang City, the three princes, King Yan, King Rui, and King Su, are so popular, especially King Su...these three are not only overshadowed by the
It surpassed the East Palace, and also surpassed His Highness you..."
Yong Wang Hongyu smiled and shook his head when he heard this: "You are too fussy... The third child gave up the fight for the throne and went to Nanyan, while the sixth and eighth children had no interest in the throne to begin with, even though the three of them are now here
Daliang's momentum is at its peak, so what? They will not be my formidable rivals."
Hearing this, Zongwei Zhou Yue suddenly realized, and then he said in a low voice and conspiratorially: "By the way, Your Highness, do you want to use this matter to poke fun at the East Palace?"
Yongwang Hongyu's heart moved slightly when he heard this, but then he shook his head and said: "It's too late. If it were earlier, it would be feasible. Now that Luo Yao is there to make suggestions in the East Palace, it will not be so easy to scheme against the East Palace... Forget it, let's do it
Do your own thing, go, and go to the Ministry of Finance again."
"yes!"
Just as Yong Wang Hongyu said, at this moment, in the East Palace of the Imperial Palace, aide Luo Yao is persuading the East Palace Prince Hongli. The rhetoric he said is almost exactly the same as Yongwang Hongyu. It is nothing more than persuading the prince Hongli not to put Yan
The three princes Wang, Rui Wang, and Su Wang regarded them as powerful enemies, no matter how powerful they were in Daliang.
Luo Yao even sternly reminded: "If King Su returns triumphantly in the future, the East Palace will not be negligent, but will vigorously cater to him... Not to mention that King Su is not the enemy of the East Palace to seize the direct line, even if he is, we cannot fight with him at the moment.
Be an enemy."
The Prince of the East Palace, Hongli, was silent after hearing this. After a long time, he frowned and said, "If the eighth child and the second child get close..."
"The sage said, if you treat others as a noble, they will repay you as a noble!" Luo Yao interrupted firmly.
Prince Hongli thought for a long time and finally nodded.
It is believed that a similar scene happened at the residence of the third prince, Prince Xiang Hongjing, and the residence of the fifth prince, Prince Qing Hongxin.
In the Ningxiang Palace in the imperial palace, the Emperor Wei took the two good news reports and was reporting the good news to Concubine Shen Shu.
This time, Emperor Wei finally had full confidence.
"I don't know anything about the military and state affairs, as long as my son is safe and sound..."
Taking the two pieces of good news and looking left and right, Concubine Shen Shu finally let go of her worries that had been hanging over her for many days.
While feeling relieved, she couldn't help but feel a little happy, and couldn't help but ask: "Since Yingshui County is about to be recovered, when can Run'er return to Daliang?"
"This..." Emperor Wei was stunned, and then took the two battle reports to look at them carefully. He frowned for a long time and muttered: "Baili Ba... did not indicate the scheduled return date in the victory report. According to my guess, then
In a few days, when that scoundrel Runer regains his lost ground, it will be almost time to return to Daliang..."
Unfortunately, Emperor Wei guessed wrong, and he was very wrong.
Because two days later, the Ministry of War in Daliang received a memorial from Xu Yin, the general of Fenxing Fortress. The memorial stated that he followed the order of Su Wang Hongrun and sent 15,000 troops from Fenxing Fortress to respond and assist from the side.
The army of Su Wang Hongrun officially launched his army to attack Chu.
At almost the same time, Bailiba, the general of Junshui Camp, once again conveyed the latest trends to Daliang.
Follow the order of Su Wang Hongrun, counterattack the Chu State, and use force to stop the war!
As Zhao Hongrun said at the time, this battle is far from over. Now, it is the time for Wei to strike back with its sword against Chu. (To be continued.)
