son-in-law

Chapter 986

Daxing three years, April [-]st.

The Xiaoman solar term is cool in the morning and evening, and it is not too hot at noon, which is a good time for marching.

The victorious division returned to the court and came to the land of Gyeonggi, and it was even more important to complete the last section of the festive road with banners unfurled.

The virtuous prince Zhao Qiang sits in a luxurious car, hugging a delicate woman with a western style on the left and right.

Zhao Qiang is tall, with rough skin and a wide beard. This expedition made him even more black.Hearing his voice like a bell, he sat in the car and laughed, his joy was beyond words.This trip to Hexi made Prince Xian proud.

In the future, Mr. Xian Wang will not mention the eldest brother and the third brother again. Our fourth brother Zhao is also a well-known man.

The contribution of the battle of Hexi is no less than that of the defense of Mozhou.And in that war, the Liang Dynasty was defeated, and countless soldiers and people died.On the other hand, at this time, Zhao Qiang sent [-] soldiers to Longyou to kill Hu generals and capture Hu people. Not only did they offset the losses, but they also armed the seventh division into a cavalry division.

On this day, the general's carriage arrived at Luqiao Station. The first officer said that the deer bridge was narrow and the general's carriage was wide.

The first officer saw more than a dozen villagers at the foot of the Luqiao River, digging in the river.

The first officer asked the villagers: What are you looking for?
Among the villagers, there was a white-faced scholar who didn't dare to look at the military master. He just said, "I heard that someone found jade in this river, so I came to search for it."

The first officer asked: Can jade be mined?

The scholar said: "There are people in the sky, but no jade."Perhaps a rich man in the city wanted to know if there was any jade here, so he spread rumors to trick the people into digging. If the people couldn't find it, it meant that there was no jade here, and the rich man didn't need to hire people to dig it.

The forerunner laughed and said that the world is so pedantic, and scholars can see it clearly, but after reading so many books, you are still poor and destitute, and you are still deceived by a group of ignorant villagers?
The scholar sighed bitterly, threw the wooden spade aside, sat on the bank and sulked.

The first officer left with a big smile and organized a team to cross the river. Not long after, Zhong Lang drove over with a large four-wheeled carriage, which was so heavy that the deer bridge creaked under its weight.Speaking of which, there are not only prince Zhao Qiang and two beauties named concubines in this car, but also several thousand catties of gold and silver.

Passing through the Luqiao Station, you can see the scenery of the imperial capital as far as you can see. As more and more people live in Luoyang City and housing prices become more expensive, people have begun to look for accommodation outside the city.The surrounding areas of the two large post stations in the east and south of the city have developed to a considerable scale.

The river under the deer bridge was originally a tributary of the Luo River. After crossing the confluence of the rivers, there is the Luoxi Wharf, which is even more bustling and lively.At this time, one can vaguely see the majestic imperial capital with its majestic and majestic city walls.

Zhao Qiang asked the guards to open the door curtain, Zhao Qiang pointed forward, and showed the two beauties from the Western Regions the magnificent scenery of the imperial capital, muttering something, as if to say, look, that is our Zhao family's property.But at this moment, a loud noise was heard suddenly, earth-shattering, the wood burst, the river splashed, and a series of thunderstorms exploded on the deer bridge.

Seeing that the four carriages were blown up to a height of ten feet, the body of the carriage was torn apart, and the legs of the four tall horses were suddenly broken, and blood spattered everywhere.

The chariot and horses ascended to the sky, then fell down again, the chariot fell apart, the wheels rolled in the water several times, and fell down from exhaustion, and the two horses struggled in the water, but could not stand up.

Looking at the people in the car, the driver was blown away and disappeared.Zhao Qiang was completely unrecognizable and fell into the debris. The bodies of the two beauties were shattered, and they had long since disappeared.Everyone was shocked, and the first officer organized a rescue. At the same time, someone discovered that the villagers who had been digging in the river just now fled to Nanshan collectively.

"Just now they pulled the rope out of the water, and as soon as they pulled it, the bridge exploded!"

"Can't let them run away! Chase me!"

To the south is the Luqiaoyi Bamboo Forest, which is extremely dense. If they get into the dense forest, they will definitely escape.

The Herald sent cavalry in pursuit, but the group ran wildly in the river.

The cavalry chased along the river, and the cobblestones were everywhere, and the horses were blocked and could not run at full speed.And those people, like floating on the water, walk on the water.What kind of villagers are these, they are obviously a group of masters of the rivers and lakes.The cavalry drew their bows and shot arrows, and the arrows rained like rain, and only the sound of puffing could be heard in the helix, and someone had been shot and fell down.

Leaving aside the pursuit of assassins, it is only said that the first officer Xue Changgui rescued Zhao Qiang from the ruins, and Zhao Qiang was dying at that time.

Xue Changgui arranged to build a pontoon bridge to march, and at the same time healed Zhao Qiang on the spot.The military doctor shook his head again and again, and only said that the general would not be able to save his life, and he predicted that he would not survive tonight, so he should be sent back to the Xian Wang's mansion immediately, and let the Xian Wang arrange the funeral.

Zhao Qiang was sent back to Guanhai Tower of Xian Wang's Mansion, and Mr. Xian Wang came down to watch with the support of everyone.Zhao Qiang was terribly bombed, with two broken legs, a fractured lumbar spine, cracked lips, everted teeth, and one eye was missing.Right now he can still breathe, but he has lost his mind, and blood foams from his lips from time to time.

Seeing his son's miserable condition, the old prince was extremely sad, but the old princess was already crying to the ground.

Zhao Qiang's daughters-in-law and children came running, crying on the ground.

There was a lot of wailing in Prince Xian's mansion, it was extremely miserable.

Daxizi, the old eunuch, saw the virtuous king expressionless and lost, so he reminded in a low voice: "What should the seventh division do?"

King Xian shook his head wearily: "Let Zhao Feng take it first, and then call Zhao Yu and Zhang Yunlong. I have important arrangements. Tell Zhang Yunlong to drive the first division into the city; tell Zhao Yu to wait for the second division." As soon as a division enters the city, he will assemble the Jinwu Five Guards."

……

When Su Yu came to Prince Xian's mansion, Zhao Qiang was already dead.Seeing the tragic state of his cousin's body, he couldn't help feeling sad.

At this time, the virtuous king seemed to have lost two souls from three souls, and five souls from seven souls, sitting there like a statue.

A 73-year-old man, he was originally full of vigor and energy, and he looked better.At this moment, he lost all energy and energy, and all he saw was an old man with white hair.

Seeing Zhao Yu come to wipe his tears in front of Zhao Qiang's corpse, the old prince became sad again, and told Zhao Yu to come over quickly, he had important orders.

"Just now, in a fit of rage, I made a decision. But now that I think about it, the time is not yet ripe. I have sent someone to tell Zhang Yunlong not to enter the city yet."

Mr. Xianwang seemed to be ten years old suddenly, his fingers were still trembling, he took the teacup in front of him once, but he didn't pick it up.

Su Yu picked up the teacup, handed it to King Xian, and said, "This is embarrassing, can Third Uncle bear it?"

King Xian took the teacup: "I have endured it for 20 years, and I don't care about waiting for a few more years. Yu'er, I don't want to see another swordsmanship. Do you understand what I mean?"

Su Yu nodded: "If the two factions fight, the battlefield will not only be in Luoyang, but also in Zhengzhou, Mozhou, Xiangzhou, and Yunzhou. In this battle, the Xuanjia Army will definitely be seriously injured, and the Sanmen faction will have an opportunity to take advantage of it. "

King Xian nodded and said: "Last time the battle between King Kang and Prince Rui almost spread. Fortunately, I blocked the news in time. Otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous. The stubborn disease of my Zhao family lies with King Kang, and the stubborn disease of the Liang Dynasty lies with the clan If I ignore the consequences because of family affairs, I am afraid that the foundation of my ancestors will be buried in my hands."

Su Yu asked: "Then how does Third Uncle plan to take revenge?"

The virtuous king said: "I'm old and I can't move anymore, and Yunlong is echoing you outside the city. Let's see what you do next. I know your Jingtong has never been idle. But in the past two years, Jingtong has been as quiet as Not the same. What are you doing? Can you tell me now, if you give an order, how many people from Kang Wang's side can follow you to raise the flag?"

Su Yuning raised her eyebrows and thought for a while: "My nephew didn't plan on the eight levels at all."

"Oh?"

"My nephew is focusing on Yunzhou."

"Gongsun Xiong, have you switched to you?"

Su Yu nodded: "Yes. When I led troops to support Yunzhou, my nephew stayed there for a few months, and became acquainted with Wanyan Gun, the regent of Nanjia, and had a close relationship. From the outsiders' point of view, we He was communicating with Wanyan Dun, and he was actually in contact with Gongsun Xiong. In fact, Gongsun Xiong supported the emperor not because of King Kang. It can be said that Gongsun Xiong will support anyone who becomes Emperor Liang. Because Gongsun Xiong’s compromise is completely In order to take care of his clansmen. And I promised him that if he helps the virtuous king, when the success is complete, the Gongsun family can set up an altar in Luoyang City, and make the Gongsun Xiong family hereditary marquis."

The virtuous king was silent.

Su Yu said again: "My spies first entered the Yunzhou Army, and then were dispatched regularly through King Kang's faction. They have already entered the Eight Passes. Although the list is in my hands, I have never contacted them. Even Li Fu did not Will go to see them. That way, they will be safer. Although this will slow down the transmission of information, it will not delay the incident, because we have already set the code."

King Xian nodded.

Su Yu then said: "According to my estimation, if the flag is raised now, there will be at least five regiments in the eight passes to follow me."

"Five regiments..."

Although King Xian was expressionless, Su Yu felt that he was satisfied with the result.

Five regiments may not be many, but it is of great significance to have them stir up trouble in King Kang's team.Their existence can easily shake the morale of the army.

King Xian said: "According to your plan, when can you do it?"

Su Yu thought about it, and said: "Actually, it can be done now. The Seventh Division has returned ahead of schedule. Our soldiers around Luoyang have one division more than them, and the distance is closer, which is enough to accomplish great things."

King Xian thought for a while and said, "Are you sure you can enter the imperial city?"

Just as Su Yu was about to say yes, he heard a quick report that King Kang had entered the city.

Kang Wang Zhaodi did not go to Hangu Pass, but took the waterway, the surging Yellow River, sailing along the river, and landed at Xiaopingjin this morning.He planned to rest in Xiaopingjin for a few days, but when he heard that Zhao Qiang was killed, he came back early.

Hearing that Zhao Qiang died tragically, King Kang Zhao Di and Empress Dowager Cao Yuzan sent people to express their condolences.

Kang Wangyi's grandson, Zhao Fan, lay in front of the coffin and wept loudly.He also declared that he was crying instead of King Kang.According to him, King Kang was in great pain when he heard the bad news, and fell ill in the Guantian Tower.
