After sending Tian Luo and Cai Guang away, it was already early in the morning. Huang Xiaotong came over and asked, "Xiao Langjun, where will you rest tonight?" Huang Xiaotong originally wanted to move Chen Caozhi's bedding to Princess Qinghe's bedroom.
to go, but Sanur kicked him out——
Chen Cao said: "I'll go take a look first." When he walked to the bedroom door, the door was closed, and with a slight knock, Sanur's voice came from inside: "Who is it?" Chen Cao responded.
There was a sound, and after a while, the door opened. The bright moon was already setting in the west, the moonlight was blocked by the west pavilion, and the room was dark——
Chen Cao ordered Huang Xiaotong to fetch a lion-shaped lantern and put it on the small table. He saw Sanu'er standing beside the brocade couch, but Murong Qinchen, the princess of Qinghe, was nowhere to be seen. Could it be that she was on the brocade couch again?
Before Chen Caozhi could ask, Sanu'er replied: "Your Highness couldn't bear the sleepiness and accidentally fell asleep. I didn't dare to disturb you."
Chen Cao said: "Tell her to get up and go back to the palace quickly."
Sanuer stared at Chen Caozhi with wide eyes: "Our princess is so condescending, and you are driving our princess away. It is simply too much!"
Huang Xiaotong on the side couldn't help laughing, and quickly straightened his face, pretending to be serious.
It would be impossible to say that Chen Caozhi was not attracted by this Xianbei princess who was both enamored of him and also extremely beautiful. It was the purpose of Mao's poem to stop being in love and stop being polite. However, the current situation is that he was in love with the princess.
, but the rudeness is beyond the limit. Princess Qinghe is standing in the corridor like this, and the generals of the Beifu will see it realistically. The story of Chen Cao's hidden beauty in the golden house will inevitably spread. He must explain to Huan Wen and face Huan Xi's jealousy.
But what about this Princess Qinghe, can he marry her and take her back to Jiangdong? This involves complicated interests and is by no means as simple as taking a concubine——
Chen Caozhi said to Sanuer: "Wake up the princess first, I have something to say."
Sanuer covered the swelling on her head and said, "I don't dare disturb the princess's sleep." Sanuer was obviously dissatisfied with Chen Caozhi's unwilling attitude. In Sanuer's opinion, since Her Royal Highness the Princess likes Chen Caozhi
, then Chen Caozhi should immediately agree to protect the princess and love her——
Chen Caozhi shook his head slightly, approached the brocade couch, lifted up a corner of the curtain, and saw Princess Qinghe curled up sideways, with the white robe on the left hem pressed against her slender and graceful body, and the soft curves from her chest and back to her waist.
It collapses, and then the buttocks are suddenly raised. The round and round beauty of the ups and downs makes people take their breath away, because the body is curled up, and the white robes on the legs are stretched up, showing a plump and round outline, but there is a robe under the robe near the knees.
The long flat object was raised, as if something was attached to the princess's thigh——
Chen Caozhi stretched out his hand and pressed it gently. It was hard and had ridges, and he suddenly understood that it was a scabbard. Princess Qinghe tied the knife to her thigh, and Chen Caozhi also noticed that he had just pressed it on the scabbard.
, the body of Princess Xianbei trembled slightly, she was not asleep at all!
Chen Caozhi asked softly: "What are you doing hiding the knife?"
Princess Qinghe knew that she could no longer pretend to be asleep, so she turned over and sat up. Her movements were very agile, her face was a little red, and she said: "Protect yourself."
Chen Caozhi looked at those light green eyes with divine light, and smiled and said: "Give me the knife."
Princess Qinghe looked directly at Chen Caozhi and asked, "Can you protect me?"
Chen Cao said: "I will try my best."
Princess Qinghe lowered her head, her tears dripping on her white robe, which quickly became wet. Then she suddenly lifted up her robe, revealing two pink jade legs, a green silk sash, and a small gold knife, reflecting the sheep.
The fat white jade-like leg skin is particularly tempting——
Princess Qinghe quickly took off the little golden knife, knelt straight, and faced Chen Caozhi with her astonishingly beautiful face that could only be found in mixed races. She looked directly at Chen Caozhi with her charming eyes, nodded briefly and forcefully, and presented the little golden knife with both hands——
This seems to be some kind of ritual, is it an expression of Princess Qinghe's devotion to Chen Caozhi?
Chen Caozhi took the small gold knife with gilt and different colors. The side of the scabbard was warmed by the girl's body temperature, and said: "You go back to the palace first. I will pick you up in a few days."
Qinghe Princess Murong Qinchen was surprisingly docile at this time. She got up and got out of bed. She was a little afraid that Chen Caozhi would ask her to stay overnight tonight. She was completely unprepared. Fortunately, Chen Caozhi was not impatient and reckless——
Murong Qinchen and Sanuer left the Bingjingtai courtyard. Chen Caozhi took two of his soldiers to send them back to the palace and asked them how they came out before. Murong Qinchen pointed to the Tongque Garden not far away.
Gao Qiang said: "Under the wall over there is a hole dug by Fenghuang before -" Meimei looked at Chen Caozhi and asked: "Nu'er and I are going back through the hole in the wall?"
Chen Cao smiled: "Let's go in through the Yuanmen."
How could the sergeant guarding the four gates of Tongqueyuan fail to recognize Chen Caozhi, the Sima of the Northern Mansion with great military exploits? Seeing that Chen Caozhi wanted to send two women to the palace, although he was surprised, he did not dare to stop him. Chen Caozhi explained to the sergeant
In one sentence, these two women are originally from the palace——
Chen Caozhi returned to the small courtyard of Bingjingtai, undressed and went to bed, where Princess Qinghe had just curled up. He gently stroked the delicate little golden knife, thinking about it and couldn't sleep.
…
In the third year of Xian'an by Emperor Sima Yu of Jin Dynasty, and the sixth year of Jianxi reign by Emperor Murong Wei of Yan, on the twelfth day of August, Murong Wei led all the civil and military officials to formally descend to Jin Dynasty, presenting a jade seal and gold medal, inheriting treasures, geographical maps, and household registration
The books, and the surrender edict drafted by the servant Huang Fuzhen, informed the governors of the states in Yan and the commanders of Liuyi Qu to surrender to the Jin Dynasty. The Jianxi reign of the Yan Kingdom disappeared on that day and was changed to the Xian'an reign of the Jin Dynasty——
Huan Wen acted vigorously and resolutely. He immediately issued a military order and ordered General Jianwei Tan Xuan and Cavalry Superintendent Chen Yu to lead 15,000 infantry and cavalry to pursue Murong Huan, King of Yanyidu, Murong Ping, King of Shangyong and others who had fled to Longcheng. He also ordered Huan Wen to
Generals Shi Qian, Tian Luo, Wei Qian, and Dai Xun respectively led their troops to Luchuan, Huguan, Jinyang, and Neihuang, especially Huguan and Jinyang. These two places were close to the dangers of the Taihang Mountains and connected to Dai State in the north.
To the west of Di Qin, we must recruit and surrender as soon as possible. Murong Yue who was guarding Huguan and Murong Zhuang who were guarding Jinyang could not be allowed to surrender or surrender to Qin. They accompanied the generals Tian Luo to Bingzhou to recruit Huang Fuzhen and Situ, who were the original servants of Yan State.
Longshi Shen Yin, both of whom were renowned capable ministers and good officials in the Yan State, also ordered the former Yan State Shangshu You Cheng Shen Shao and Shangshu Lang Feng Heng to go to Henan with Murong Wei's letter of surrender to recruit Murong De from Xingyang and Murong Chen from Luyang.
——
…
On the day when Murong Wei officially surrendered to the Jin Dynasty, in Chang'an, two thousand miles away from Yecheng, Qin Lord Fu Jian gathered his ministers in the east hall of Mingguang Palace to discuss the strategy for the Jin army's Northern Expedition. Because of the news from Hebei,
The Jin army's vanguard has approached Yecheng, the capital of Yan, and Murong Ping led an army of 200,000 to camp on the north bank of the Zhang River to resist the enemy——
Quan Yi, the official secretary of the Ministry of Personnel, said: "Huan Wen's army is marching north, and Henan is empty. Although our army was defeated at Mianchi, it was because we underestimated the enemy. We cannot be unable to leave because of a temporary defeat. This is a good opportunity to leave Tongguan again.
."
Fu Jian asked: "Who is willing to lead the army on the expedition?"
The generals looked at each other, no one dared to ask for orders. At the beginning of June, Deng Qiang led 20,000 infantry and rode out of Tongguan. The second general Gou Chi was a famous fierce general in the Qin State. As a result, Gou Chi died in battle and Deng Qiang was defeated. This made all the generals in Guanzhong
Fearful of the Jin army——
Fu Jian was very disappointed when he saw that the generals were timid. He looked at the minister and ordered Wang Meng. Wang Meng was a versatile man in both civil and military affairs. Fu Jian hoped that Wang Meng would overcome the difficulties and take over this important task——
Wang Meng asked Quan Yi: "How long does Quan Shangshu think Huan Wen will be able to defeat Murong Ping?"
Quan Yi said: "The Yan army has 200,000 troops and the Jin army has 60,000 troops. Even if the Yan army cannot win, there should be no danger of defending the city."
Wang Meng said categorically: "I didn't expect that within half a month, news would come back that the Jin army had defeated Ye."
From Fu Jian down, everyone was eclipsed. Wang Meng always knew things like a god, and everyone dared not believe it——
Fu Jian asked: "If this is the case, how should we deal with it?"
Wang Meng said: "If the troops leave Huguan and Jinyang at this time and occupy these two dangerous places, then they can covet the land east of Taihang Mountain when they advance, and they can retreat to defend themselves according to the danger. This is the best strategy; send troops to Longyou and Pingliang first."
Prefecture Zhang Tianxi, so that our Qin Dynasty has no worries about looking to the west, and can concentrate on dealing with the advance of the Jin people. This is the middle strategy; send troops to Tongguan, capture Luoyang and Gongxian, the outcome is uncertain. Once Huan Wen stabilizes Hebei and crosses the river to attack, we will
The army is bound to return to Guanzhong again, this is the next step——"
Fu Rong, Duke of Yangping, said: "If Huan Wen can really capture Ye City quickly and it is not feasible for our army to leave Tongguan, then we can take the best strategy and capture Huguan. How about Jinyang?"
Wang Meng said: "Huguan and Jinyang have many soldiers and sufficient food. How can they be captured in a hurry? Huan Wen is good at using troops, and Chen Caozhi is even more capable. How could he not know that Huguan and Jinyang are a must-win place?
Once Murong Wei surrenders, Huan Wen will send people to recruit Murong Zhuang from Huguan and Murong Yue from Jinyang. Although our country of Qin can also go to recruit surrender, it is obviously not as effective as the leader of Yan, Murong Wei, and Murong Zhuang and Murong Yue followed Murong the year before.
Attack me Pu Ban——"
Fu Jian and all the officials in the hall understood that of the three strategies mentioned by Wang Meng, only the middle strategy was feasible. Zhang Tianxi of Liangzhou, whose ancestor Zhang Gui was the governor of Liangzhou and the captain of the Qiang Guard during the reign of Emperor Hui of Jin Dynasty, was one of the eight kings.
During the Wuhu Rebellion in China, the Zhang family of Liangzhou ceded territory to establish itself, but it was still under the reign of Emperor Min of the Jin Dynasty. At its peak, it occupied the three states of Liang, Sha, and He. In the first year of Xian'an, Zhang Tianxi killed his nephew Zhang Xuanliang and established himself as the great emperor.
General, Xiaowei, Liangzhou Mu, Xiping Gong, although Zhang Tianxi had no contact with the Jiankang Jin Dynasty, he was still the Zhengshuo of Jin Dynasty. Since Huan Wen had destroyed Yan, he sent a letter to Zhang Tianxi, asking him to attack Qin's back road. Zhang Tianxi would definitely
In response, Huan Wen led his troops from Bingzhou to attack, and Qin was in danger!
Fu Jian pondered for a moment, and then ordered the entire army to prepare to attack Zhang Tianxi in Liangzhou. Fu Jian believed in Wang Meng's judgment that the Jin army was powerful and it would be unwise to fight with it at this time. He could only defeat Liangzhou first and have no worries later. According to the danger of Weihan,
, the wealth of Guanlong, competing with Jin, waiting for the times to change, Xu Tu strives for hegemony in the Central Plains——
Sure enough, ten days later, news came from Yedu that Murong Ping's 200,000-strong army was defeated, the Jin army occupied Yecheng, Murong Wei escaped from Yecheng and was recovered, and he had officially surrendered to the Jin Dynasty.
Fu Jian was frightened and convinced of Wang Meng's wisdom. While strengthening the defense of the Qin-Yan border, he sent Wang Meng to supervise General Yang An and other ten generals to lead 60,000 infantry and cavalry to attack Liang——
