The palace is quiet, and the empress of the cold palace is acting as a demon

Chapter 493 Military emergency

Under the recommendation of Shi Siniang, Qin Wan met Shi Zhongxing, the leader of the Nanyue Hundred Tribes.

In the lobby of Shitang Department, Qin Wan was standing and Shi Zhongxing was sitting.

He looked at Qin Wan with a haughty look, a contemptuous smile leaked from the corner of his mouth, and then asked Shi Siniang, "Ah Si, you said she is Qin Wan, the imperial concubine Xiang? Are you kidding me? She is only 16 years old. "

Shi Siniang affirmed: "I have asked countless questions about Concubine Xiang, and she has answered them all."

Then Shi Siniang showed Shi Zhongxing the rewritten "Looking for Flowers by the Riverside" written by Qin Wan: "Look, father, there is a proper Xishu grass chapter, the world can write like this except Xiang The imperial concubine is the king of Xishu."

"Writing a few broken characters can prove her identity, Ah Si, you are too easy to deceive."

"That's right, Ah Si, you are still young after all, this woman looks soft and weak, how could she be that cruel and ruthless Concubine Xiang."

"Ah Si, you have heard that the book talk too much!"

The people around started to boo, and Shi Siniang looked anxiously at Qin Wan who was standing quietly in the center of the hall, urging her to quickly find a way to prove her identity.

Qin Wan was not in a hurry, but said with a faint smile on his face, "Boss, I heard Ah Si said that although you surrendered to Beirong, you are loyal to Daliang in your heart."

"So what?" Shi Zhongxing looked at Qin Wan proudly.

Qin Wandao: "Back then, my adoptive father, General Qin Buping, once said that the hundreds of tribes in South Vietnam fought endlessly, but only the Shitang tribe was loyal and courageous, and fought with the Daliang Army to punish the domineering tribes, stabilize the order of the tribes, and establish laws and regulations. , manage the people’s livelihood. This made the entire South Vietnam’s hundred tribes get rid of the situation of scuffle for many years, and the people became able to live and work in peace and contentment.”

When Shi Zhongxing heard Qin Wan mention General Qin Buping and the past, enthusiasm and memories appeared in his eyes.When he was still a teenager, he fought with his father in all parts of South Vietnam, watched his father put down the chaotic situation in South Vietnam one by one, and was bestowed the title of Chief of Nanling by Daliang.

Qin Wan went on to say: "The whole south, including Danzhou Island, can have peace and prosperity. The credit never lies with the imperial court, but with the existence of a hundred tribes of Nanyue. Whether it is Daliang or Rong, whether it is Emperor Liang Si or Emperor Ning of Rong, I have never seen them worry about Nanling. But the Hou Lu rebellion shocked me, I never thought that the Nanling Hundreds would ignore the peace and tranquility of the entire Nanling, and watch the fire from the sidelines!"

Shi Zhongxing was hurt by Qin Wan's words, and his face darkened: "You are a rebellious concubine, how dare you accuse me here!"

Qin Wan sneered: "Treason the concubine? Oh, do you think the so-called loyalty is that I should have died in the fire of Yuheng Palace with Sidi back then, instead of seeing the wind and the rudder and wanting to dominate one side today?" The treacherous villain Hou Lu came here alone to ask you to send troops to save the people in Lingnan from the fire and water!"

When Shi Siniang heard what Qin Wan said, she immediately said, "That's right, father, the greatest contribution of Concubine Xiang in Beirong is to promote the equality of all ethnic groups in Kyushu. Didn't you also say that you are most afraid of the uneven water in the Rong country? The Rong people have high status and privileges. However, because of the presence of Concubine Xiang, all ethnic groups in Kyushu are equal, especially the tax revenue of the weak and small ethnic groups is even lower than that of other regions."

Shi Zhongxing glared at Shi Siniang: "Si! Where are you from!"

Shi Siniang: "Father, what she said is right. Before he came to instigate you to send troops to rebel, didn't you also say that Hou Lu is not a good thing?"

"Ah Si!" Shi Zhongxing sternly said, "Warring is not a joke. I am responsible for all the tribes of the South Vietnam Hundred Tribes. I don't send troops casually! They fight as they like! It has nothing to do with my Hundred Tribes." !"

Shi Siniang: "Father!"

Shi Zhongxing narrowed his eyes and shouted: "That's enough, Si! There must be a limit to your nonsense."

Then he turned to Qin Wan: "I don't care if you are the real Concubine Xiang or not, I will save your life today, and you must get out of Gaozhou City before tomorrow!"

After finishing speaking, Shi Zhongxing stood up and strode into the inner hall, ignoring Qin Wan.

Qin Wan's eyes darkened, she came alone, she really didn't have any good bargaining chips to intimidate and lure Shi Zhongxing to send troops, only Xiao Yi Da Yi.But judging by Shi Zhongxing's attitude, the "loyalty to Liang" is just a cover.In fact, he just didn't want to participate in this war.Because whether it was the court or Hou Lu who won in the end, it didn't have much impact on the interests of the South Vietnamese Baibu.

Shi Siniang took Qin Wan away from Shitang Mansion.Seeing that Qin Wan's expression was not good, she apologized, "Don't worry, I'll go and persuade my dad again."

Qin Wan said "thank you" to Shi Siniang.

At this time, Lie Xie came quickly, and when he saw Qin Wan, he immediately reported: "Madam, just received the military report, Hou Lu's rebels have surrounded the entire Qucheng."

"What?!" Qin Wan was shocked.

Liexiu: "The day before yesterday, the officers and soldiers of the Qucheng city guards went out of the city to fight fiercely with the rebels in Xugang. It is impossible for the Danzhou Army to withdraw to Danzhou Island!"

When Qin Wan heard the news, he couldn't stand up: "How is Xun Che!"

Lie Xie shook his head: "Master Xun Er's troops are in charge of defending the city and did not participate in the battle at the port."

"That's okay!" Qin Wan felt her heart almost clenched in her throat.

Lie Xie: "But Qucheng is under siege, so we don't know anything about the situation inside the city."

She bit her lips fiercely: "I can't wait any longer! Lie Xian! Inform Xishu and Tianchen, and go to Qucheng to rescue now!"

After hearing this, Shi Siniang immediately pulled Qin Wan back: "I'll go with you!"

Qin Wan looked at Shi Siniang in shock.

Shi Siniang confirmed: "Since I was a child, I have wanted to do something big like you, my mother. Now that the opportunity is in front of me, how can I not participate!"

Qin Wan nodded gratefully to Shi Siniang: "Thank you!"

Lie Xie returned the dragon scale on his back to Qin Wan. Qin Wan picked up the dragon scale on his back, mounted the horse, held the rein with one hand, and galloped out of Gaozhou.Shi Siniang and Lie Xian followed behind her, and also rode on the official road heading south with the sound of horses' hooves.

After changing horses three times a day and running non-stop, Qin Wan finally arrived at Huazhou City where Tian Chen's Yuheng Army camp was stationed at noon on the second day.

Qin Wan's legs were shaking after dismounting because he had been riding for too long.

But she didn't rest for a moment, and walked straight into the camp with Lie Xian and Shi Siniang.Lie Xie took out Anyousi's name tag, and all the guards made way for the three of them.

When Tian Chen heard that Qin Wan had arrived, he immediately walked out of the tent to greet him.Seeing Qin Wan who had not changed in the past 20 years, his eyes were filled with shock.

"Chen Tianchen is paying respects to Concubine Xiang." Tian Chen led the generals to kneel down and salute Qin Wan.

"Excuse me, get up quickly." Qin Wan asked anxiously, regardless of other formalities, "How is the situation in Qucheng now?"

"Your Majesty, let's talk inside the tent!" Tian Chen personally lifted the curtain of the tent and invited Qin Wan in.

Qin Wan entered the big tent and listened carefully to Tian Chen talking about the anxiety of the war.

"Niu Ben, Yang Sihui and other rebel generals following Hou Lu blocked the northern tip of the Leizhou Peninsula, while Hou Lu attacked Qucheng from the south. Our military strength is not enough to directly defeat Niu Ben and Yang Sihui to save Qucheng," Tian Chen explained. road.

Qin Wan: "How long can Qucheng last?"

Tian Chen took a deep breath: "I probably won't last ten days."

Qin Wan looked at the map: "If you go by sea, bypass the peninsula and land directly from the sea to save Qucheng."

Tian Chen shook his head: "Mother, all the ships along the coast are either controlled by Hou Lu or destroyed by him. We don't have ships, so we can't send troops from the sea."

Qin Wan looked at the map, hugged his arms tightly, and paced back and forth.

"Waterways...boats..." Qin Wan clenched his fists, "Maybe I can borrow a boat."

All the generals in the big tent looked at Qin Wan in surprise.

Tian Chen: "Your Majesty, where are you going to borrow a boat? Whether it's the East China Sea or the Liyang Navy, the distance to here is too far, and they are directly transferred by His Majesty, you..."

"No, even if I can manage it, they won't be in a hurry." Qin Wan frowned, "Is there a river near here?"

Deputy General Tian Chen cupped his hands and said, "Jianjiang flows through Huazhou City."

"Go! Take me to the riverside!" Qin Wan said.

When Lie Xie heard this, he pulled Qin Wan back suddenly: "Your Majesty! You don't mean to... no! It's too dangerous!"

Qin Wan smiled at Lie Xian: "Don't worry, I'm sure."
