Chapter 1417 Must win, panic

After leaving northern Xinjiang, the weather gradually warmed up.

After Liu Qing consulted Qin Wangfei, he ordered everyone to hurry up.

No way, all excited!

Ever since they heard the news that King Qin had defeated Songzhou and Shangzhou, everyone wanted to rush to Chang'an as soon as possible to witness the upcoming decisive battle.

Once they were on their way, Ah Liang and Li's second child would have less time to play.

Ah Liang didn't care, anyway, he could read and study.

Li's second brother is restless and always wants to go out.The maids couldn't deal with him, so they could only let Princess Qin take care of her son in the end.

"Erlang, don't be naughty, you, Aye, saw you when you turned around, and I will definitely punish you."

Zhou Ning threatened Li Laoer, but Li Laoer said plausibly: "Aye is gone."

"nonsense!"

Zhou Ning slapped him on the back. She swore she didn't use any force, but Li Er Er grinned and howled.

No one can persuade.

Zhou Ning looked at his little hands, "Could it be that my cultivation base has improved?"

"Princess, it's time to rest."

The carriage stopped and Zhou Ning realized it was noon.

When she got out of the carriage, Wu Luo was beside her, talking to Hua Hong in a low voice.

Seeing Zhou Ning come out, the two separated.

Because I was in a hurry, I missed the town. At this moment, the followers are burying pots and cooking.

While the smoke was curling up, Hua Hong came over and said, "Wu Luo said earlier that he had a nightmare last night, dreaming about His Highness..."

"No problem!" Zhou Ning said calmly: "Tell her, anyone can panic, but I can't panic!"

"Yes!"

The higher the expectations, the more anxious you will be.

There were a lot of officials on this trip, plus the accompanying cavalry, there were more than [-] cavalry.

At this moment, they are setting up a formation to cook food beside the official road, and they can't see the side at a glance.

"Those tycoons in northern Xinjiang have been a little dishonest recently."

Liu Qing took the document sent by Jin Yiwei, and said: "Someone actually communicated with Shi Ni secretly, and the letter was intercepted by Jin Yiwei."

"Weeds on the wall!" Luo Cai sneered and said, "Suppress it!"

"No need!" Liu Qing shook his head, "Song Zhen is in Tao County, and those tyrants dare not make any moves. The suppression at this moment will make His Highness feel guilty."

"Stay?"

"Put it on hold." Liu Qing stroked his beard, "Many times, it is beautiful to settle accounts after autumn!"

"You!" Luo Cai pointed at him, "We're all waiting for the news of the war."

"I won't lose!" Liu Qing said firmly: "His Royal Highness wrote a private letter to the old man, just one sentence, alone, I won't lose!"

This is a promise and a heavy trust.

According to this promise, Liu Qing made a series of responses, all of which were based on the undefeated Northern Xinjiang Army.

At this moment someone was shouting ahead.

"What are you shouting for?" Luo Cai tiptoed to look.

Many people on the official road are moving their hands and feet at this moment, but they spontaneously avoid it.

More than a dozen riders galloped along the passage they gave way to.

"Great victory!"

Liu Qing clutched his chest, short of breath.

"Old Liu, hold on! Hold on!"

Luo Cai quickly supported him.

"Old man... old man is steady... steady!"

"His Royal Highness defeated Shi Ni, and Shi Ni only escaped with his body!"

Countless arms are raised.

"Your Highness is a thousand years old!"

"Long live!"

At the moment when everyone was reveling, Luo Cai supported the limp Liu Qing, and said eagerly: "Come on! Come on!"

Liu Qing passed out happily.

Zhou Ning turned around slowly.

Watching the messenger hold up the good news.

Is it a big victory?

Has her husband finally brought peace to the world?

She thought of the letter that Li Xuan sent someone a while ago.

——In this battle, I will never turn back!

Without hesitation, the four words represent the attitude of King Qin.

——This battle is difficult!
She is the only person King Qin can reveal his heart to!
Zhou Ning was secretly uneasy, but still maintained a calm posture.

At the moment when the good news came, Zhou Ning only felt relaxed.

That's my man!

She looked slowly, and saw people around her saluting to her one after another.

"Congratulations princess!"

Zhou Ning smiled, "Congratulations to the world!"

A team of cavalry rushed over, and the general who led the team gave Zhou Ning a letter.

The content of the letter is simple.

—Let Ah Liang come to Gu's side!
……

In Chang'an, the sound of hammering iron in Huang's blacksmith shop is still there.

"Your Majesty!"

King Wei looked up.

The guard said: "Great victory!"

"Oh!"

King Wei looked at the blacksmith shop and said, "It seems that the day to leave Chang'an is not far away."

……

Shu land.

The emperor promulgated a decree to make young and strong people from all over the country join the army enthusiastically.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will definitely be able to recruit enough warriors this time."

Zheng Qi said.

Yang Songcheng took a look at Zhang Huan. The Minister of the Ministry of War, who was good at pretending to be a dead dog, was drooping his eyelids at the moment, which reminded him of Huang Chunhui.

After the emperor's attempt to kill Huang Chunhui failed, there was a lot of trouble about it.

The Zhou family teamed up with the Wang family and several courtiers to go to Shu, and suggested that people should investigate the matter.The emperor was kind, and ordered Jingtai and the Ministry of Punishment to investigate.

Jingtai is his dog, and Zheng Qi from the Ministry of Justice is the dog of the country's head, so let's just let it go.

The emperor nodded, "Is there any news from Guanzhong?"

Yang Songcheng said: "Yang Ni ordered Cao Ying to sit in Guanzhong. This person is so vicious that those big clans dare not make a move."

"It's not that they are afraid to make a move, but they are watching!"

Playing this, the emperor is at the master level, and he said flatly: "We are all waiting for the result of this battle."

Mentioning this, the officials were silent.

The emperor slowly looked at Zhou Zun.

"What does Zhou Qing think this battle will be like!"

No one expected that the emperor would ask Zhou Zun this question, even Zhou Zun himself was taken aback.

Said that the Northern Xinjiang Army will be defeated?

That was against my will.

But will not offend the emperor.

Zhou Zun took a deep breath, "We must win!"

How dare!

Zheng Qi sneered and said, "Who does Zhou Shilang say will win?"

"Northern Frontier Army!"

"How courageous!" Zheng Qi stepped out, pointed at Zhou Zun and said, "That's Yang Ni!"

"But it was Shi Ni in front of him!" Zhou Zun retorted.

"Your Majesty has pardoned Shi Zhongtang!" Zheng Qi moved out of the emperor.

"The northern army didn't slaughter the city!" Zhou Zun sneered, "The ghosts of Huangzhou and Qianzhou are still floating above the city, shouting. They paid taxes, but they didn't expect this to happen. Who will decide for them? It's you Is it? It's still... the king!"

Yang Songcheng looked as usual, Zhou Zun smiled and said, "Old man, I heard that King Qin had something to say about this..."

Everyone knows that this sentence is said to be mentioned in the letter from King Qin to Zhou Zun.

Everyone pricked up their ears, wanting to know King Qin's intention.

"Those people never hesitate to pay taxes, and those people have great trust in Chang'an. Once they were massacred by aliens, no one cared. Gu, care!"

……

"You're a bit too bold."

At the previous court meeting, after Zhou Zun relayed what his son-in-law said, it attracted criticism.

If it wasn't for Wang Douluo's action and the help of Wei Zhong and others, Zhou Zun would have been almost grounded.

"Worried?" Zhou Zun asked.

This question is about the war.

Wang Douluo nodded, "Not only the old man, but even Xian'er sent people from her husband's family to ask about the result of this battle."

"How did you say that?"

When it comes to Wang Xian'er, Wang Douluo obviously looks regretful, but Zhou Zun feels very comfortable.

If that charming daughter of the Wang family was willing to lower her dignity and make a move, this son-in-law would be gone.

"The old man said that King Qin will surely win!"

……

Qinghe.

"There are cavalry!"

The sergeant at the top of the city shouted.

Smoke billowed in the distance, and then more than ten thousand riders appeared in sight.

"It's the king!"

Shi Zhongtang is back.

Unlike the Northern Xinjiang Army's propaganda that he was only immune, he also brought his own team, the [-] riders.

"The king is back."

The news immediately spread throughout the city.

Everyone knew that Shi Zhongtang was going to a decisive battle, but now he is back, what's going on?
Is it a triumphant victory, or...

After the big victory, it stands to reason that Shi Zhongtang should take advantage of the situation and attack!

Didn't you say that you are in the process of counterattacking again?

Shi Zhongtang had already tidied up his clothes, and so did the ten thousand riders.

But when they entered the city, everyone felt depressed.

"Failed?"

An old man blurted out, then covered his mouth.

But the fundus!

Still showing joy.

No one said a word.

More than ten thousand riders entered the city silently.

Civil officials and military generals came out to welcome them.

Seeing this appearance, everyone was silent.

It wasn't until Shi Zhongtang got off his horse that he saluted, "I've seen you, Your Majesty!"

Shi Zhongtang nodded, "My lord, I'm back."

He didn't say whether the battle was won or lost, but everyone knew it.

This battle!

lost!

But no one dared to ask how far he was defeated.

Shi Zhongtang entered the Jiedu envoy's mansion, He Zun followed up, "Your Highness, people's hearts are not stable."

"Pass down the king's order, from now on, civil and military officials are allowed to enter and not allowed to leave!"

"Yes!"

"Reward the lieutenant general!"

"Yes!"

He Zun resigned.

"Chunyu!"

Shi Zhongtang turned around.

For a moment, Chunyu felt that Shi Zhongtang had changed.

very excited.

"Ascension to the throne, are you ready?"

At this time, shouldn't we first consider how to resist the follow-up offensive of the Northern Xinjiang Army?
"It's almost ready, but Yuxi is not ready yet."

"be quick!"

Shi Zhongtang entered the lobby.

"Yes!"

Chun Yu turned around and saw Wei Ming.

"Deputy Envoy Wei."

"do your stuff!"

Wei Ming didn't go in, he stepped back slowly and looked at the lobby.

After returning to the duty room, Wei Ming called his confidants to discuss the matter.

"Shi Zhongtang wants to ascend the throne!"

"He's crazy?"

"I don't know if he is crazy or not, but I know that after the Northern Frontier Army is repaired, it will attack again. This time, without the army, how can we resist?"

"Aren't there still some people?"

"Do you think those men and horses can stop King Qin's army?"

The crowd shook their heads.

The 12 army was defeated, and even if those defeated soldiers fled back, they had no fighting spirit and were just puppets.

Only the 3 people who stayed behind at the beginning were worthy of the battle.

Thirty thousand!

Just think about it and you will know that it is not the opponent of the Northern Xinjiang Army.

"Run away!" Someone said.

"Shi Zhongtang ordered that civil and military officials are not allowed to leave the city." Wei Ming gritted his teeth.

"What does he mean?"

"He wants to ascend the throne, how can there be no courtiers when he ascends the throne!"

"No, he wants us to be buried with him!" Wei Ming sneered, "But I haven't lived enough yet."

"What should I do?"

The confidantes are restless like ants on a hot pot.

"I have a lot of people in the army. If we want to escape, Qinghe City can't stop us."

Wei Ming's words made the confidantes very happy.

"But let's escape, where can we go? The world is so big...Don't forget, after this battle, King Qin's dominance of the world is unstoppable. Where are we going to escape? There are dozens of people alone, and we can't even pass the checkpoint!"

The confidants are silent.

"The only way!" Wei Ming lowered his voice.

Suddenly someone's eyes lit up, "Kill Shi Zhongtang, vote for King Qin!"

"Tu Ni Niang!" Wei Ming couldn't help cursing: "I led the army to attack Huangzhou, Shi Zhongtang gave the order to massacre the city, but I was the one who gave the order. Don't you know the temperament of King Qin? Not to mention killing Shi Zhongtang, even if Shi Zhongtang's family is killed, we still cannot escape death!"

He took a breath, "You don't do anything else, go to the army to win over those generals. And I secretly plan to attack Shi Zhongtang. Once we succeed, we will flee away with an army of [-]."

"Where are you going?" Someone asked.

"South Zhou!"

"South Zhou?"

"The [-] army is going south, and we don't want to attack the city, just go all the way to the south. We hit the seaside with lightning speed."

"Go to sea?"

"Yes, go to sea!"

Wei Ming pointed to the south, "The navy of the Southern Zhou Dynasty is amazing, and the shipping is unparalleled in the world. Aren't you worried that King Qin will have nowhere to hide after he dominates the world? What about overseas?"

"overseas?"

"Deputy envoy, overseas is desolate!"

"No! There are big islands overseas, so big that you can't imagine. Let's grab the fleet and go to sea. With 3 horses, we will be the emperor when we arrive there. At that time..."

Everyone couldn't help getting excited.

Wei Ming smiled and said, "The King of Qin hates us no matter how much he hates us, but he can't catch us!"
