The struggle of the reborn prince

Chapter 174 Heartbroken

Duo Yangping is located on the main road leading to Liangu and Qin. The traffic roundabout in the city is short of water and there is no danger to defend. There are no soldiers stationed at ordinary times, so it can be said that it does not show the mountains and the water. Therefore, in order to attract the attention of Song Jun and Cha Ge, no one was stationed after the army passed. However, he was favored by Zhao Tun, and he dispatched troops to set up defenses here, transforming the earth mountain into a fortress, and the Hezhou Army who cooperated with the battle was sent to ambush in the mountains several miles away by him, leading them as ambush soldiers.

Zhao Tun led the army to set up fortifications in Duyangping. Since the morning, the sound of guns and artillery has been heard from a distance of more than ten miles, but everyone waited and waited, but there was no sign of the Baotai army in sight, and they couldn't help but feel anxious. , kept sending out sentries and scouts, but the fighting there was fierce, and the smoke filled the air. Only soldiers and horses were in conflict, and the specific battle situation was not clear.

In June, the weather in the Northwest also became hotter. In the hiding place, Zhao Tun, wearing a military uniform, listened to the increasingly fierce sound of guns and artillery, and felt at ease. It also became more and more stuffy in the room, clutching the armor, sweating more and more uncomfortable

"Second Lord, drink some water." But it was Wangfu who brought the water in, and Jianxi was nowhere to be seen.

"Where did Jianxi go, let him stay in Fuzhou and not listen, he insisted on following me to the battlefield, but he followed me dishonestly" Zhao Tang took the water glass, took a big gulp and said angrily

"Master Xi is tired after being with the second master for a long time, go out to get some air and the second master has something to tell us." Wangfu said with a smile

"I don't want you guys to accompany me. I just need to accompany you Xiye later. Don't let Xia Bing get hurt." Zhao Tong said angrily, and his mood just got better and turned sour. In the past, he stayed by his side every day. People are not here, what the hell are you doing?

In the coolness on the backside of the hill, Jian Xi had his skirts down and the wind was shining, and a pistol was pinned to his waist as appropriate, and a dagger was stuffed in his boots, but his head was still sweating, "Master Xi, what do you say?" Why is the second master unhappy these days? Are you angry with me?" Zhao Xin, who was sitting on the side, wiped his sweat with a handkerchief and asked

"Second Master loves you the most, why would you be angry with you? Did you do something to embarrass the prince?" Jian Xi said with a smile. A few words of muddled words made everyone very nervous, not knowing why

"Yeah," Xin Zhao lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Miss Zhe hasn't come back since the battle of Fengzhou, she must have been pissed off by me, and the second master didn't say anything, she must be blaming me."

"It's not that the war is urgent now. There has been no news from Zhao Ren all the way and now he has lost his city and land. Some people have taken the opportunity to make troubles to annoy the second master. The second master will not be angry about those trivial things. Besides, the reason why Zhe girl left is not It's your fault, that's because of another reason, but you've gone too far with the girl." Jian Xi shook his head and said

"Oh, why didn't that Zhe girl come back?" Xin Zhao asked pleasantly when he heard that this matter had nothing to do with him.

"You should know the influence of the Zhe family in Feng Sanzhou of Linfu?" Jianxi looked at Zhao Xin and nodded, expressing his understanding, and then continued: "The reason why Zhe girl will accompany the prince for so many days this time is actually something. It is an attempt, they have inherited the position of the prefect of the prefecture for several generations, and although there are many rewards, they have not been able to make further progress, so they want to use the method of marriage to link up with the royal family and seek greater power."

"After conquering Fengzhou, didn't the second master give them the post of prefect of the prefecture? Isn't that enough?" Xin Zhao knew that the prince had been troubled by the arrangement of the post of prefect of the prefecture, and now he was satisfied. It's their request, but it's not, he said angrily

"Keep your voice down, don't let outsiders hear it" Jian Xi hurriedly covered Xin Zhao's mouth and said, "Keep your voice down, it's not good for others to hear, but we are both the prince's confidantes, let me tell you about this matter It's okay to say that although the Zhe family got the magistrate, they failed to achieve their goal. They wanted to imitate the prefectural regulations, hereditary instead, and be officials from generation to generation, but the second master thought of many things and only gave them a low-level official. Three years later It was replaced, so it caused dissatisfaction among Zhejia, this is one of them.”

"Zhejia is really good at it, using women as bargaining chips to do business with the lord, doesn't the lord know?" Zhao Xin said with a sneer at what the Zhejia did.

"My lord's heart is like a bright mirror, but now Hezhou and Fengzhou are harvesting places, and now the war is tense, he has no time to take care of it, so for the time being, Zhejia needs to come forward to maintain it, so as not to cause trouble. He is so dedicated to dealing with Brother Cha, so It’s not broken.” Jianxi said, “Secondly, after regaining Fengzhou, the prince used the strategy of luring the enemy to go deep, abandoned several cities, and retreated to Zhuolunchuan. In Zhejia’s opinion, the prince suffered repeated defeats and lost A large piece of land, and being impeached by a letter, will surely arouse the emperor's wrath, dismissal from office, the prince who fell out of favor is not as good as a courtier, and the prince has frequent feuds with several ministers in the court. The family feels that the prince has no use value, If it doesn't work out, I will be implicated, so I deliberately alienate the prince, and I will not mention the matter with Zhe girl again, how can I let her continue to be by the prince's side?"

"That Zhe girl is really good at acting, I thought she really liked the prince, but in fact she pretended to be a snake with the prince, which made the prince feel sad." Xin Zhao said with a pout

"Oh, Miss Zhe is also a poor person. I think she really likes the prince. Have you noticed the way she looks at the prince? She can sit there and stare at him for a long time. The prince often says that people are the only ones. The eyes that can’t lie are the eyes, her eyes can’t be fake, I’m afraid she’s sad because of the trouble now,” Jianxi said with a wry smile

"Really? But I think she is so awkward, I hate her being with the prince, it is enough for the prince to have us, isn't it Xiye?" Xin Zhao said with a little excitement

"Xin Zhao, you are wrong, the prince has grown up, there will be more than one woman by his side whether you or I like it, or even whether the prince is willing or not. Yes, it’s up to us.” Jianxi looked at Xin Zhao’s face and said meaningfully, “If you always think this way, I hope you leave the prince’s side as soon as possible, so as not to make the prince and yourself sad in the future; if you don’t want to Leaving, if you don’t want to make the prince sad, you must learn to think for the prince, learn to be lenient, and understand the heart of the prince.”

"Lord Xi, do you think the lord will be sad for me?" Xin Zhao was stunned for a while after hearing this, the excitement on his face was gone, he was a little confused and puzzled, and asked timidly

"Hehe, don't you really understand the heart of the lord?" Jianxi didn't answer, shook his head and smiled wryly, stood up and patted the dirt on his buttocks and left

Jianxi has been the prince's companion since he arrived at the palace, and he was by his side every day. Later, there was another Xin Zhao, who hangs out with him every day. Jianxi is not a fool. Believe it or not, he can only pretend to be stupid, but as the manager of the palace and the confidant of the prince, one of his important responsibilities is to take good care of the prince and ensure the reproduction of the royal family, so that there will be many future generations. Although Zhao Xin is also loyal and devoted to the prince , but he does not want to see such a woman who is often accompanied by Wang Ye. What he said to Xin Zhao today is not only advice but also a warning. He hopes to wake him up and let him know his position and identity.

"Do I understand the lord? Should I stay or leave..." Xin Zhao didn't notice Jianxi's departure, put his arms around his knees, looked into the distance and muttered to himself, "There are two people around the lord right now. Personally, Ms. Zhu was born in a scholarly family, versatile, gentle and affectionate, her family is innocent, and her appearance is as beautiful as a flower. She must be a good wife and mother, a person who manages the family well, and is loved by the empress. She made this marriage for the prince. Although the prince doesn't like her, he doesn't hate her either, thinking that with his character, he will not hurt the hearts of the empress and Miss Zhu; as for Miss Zhe, although she is not as beautiful as Miss Zhu, she is far from ordinary people. And she has a charm of her own, and she comes from a family of generals, she has practiced literature and martial arts since she was a child, and is proficient in the art of war. , can be a great help to the prince

Thinking of himself, Xin Zhao felt dejected. Apart from growing up with the prince since he was a child, he was barely a childhood sweetheart, what else did he have?In terms of identity, I am a domestic slave; in terms of appearance, I don’t know what I will look like when I take off my military uniform; in terms of family background, although I was born in a Khitan noble, who can tell him what he looks like now, and the royal family of the Song Dynasty can allow it Could a foreign woman be their family?The more Xin Zhao thought about it, the more sad he felt. . .

. . . . . .

Just after the end of the day, the dust and smoke billowed from the south, and the neighing of people was getting closer and closer, "Report to the lord, Xia Jun was defeated by my Zhao Lian's troops, and the remnants wanted to break out from us," the scout reported to Zhao Tian

"How many people are there, and how far are they from us?" Zhao Tong stood up and asked

"Report to the lord, there are about 5000 people in the remnant of the Xia army, most of them are infantry, and they are less than three miles away from me."

"Zhao Lianxing, annihilating most of the enemy, we knew it would be so smooth, why should we bother with this?" Zhao Tang laughed, "Shadui, you go and pass the order, and the rest of the people will be handed over to the Hezhou Army, ordering them to attack. The captured prisoners belong to them, and the captured ones belong to them, but the battlefield must be cleaned up.”

"Thank you, my lord," Shadui said loudly, he knew that the lord intended to praise their Quru tribe, and these defeated soldiers were gifts from the lord to his tribe

"Send an order to Qin to launch an attack tonight and annihilate the besieging Xia army; order Zhao Lian's troops not to stay, and fire to Liangu to recapture the city and block the mouth of Zhuolun Chuan; order Ye Li to guard Zhuolun village and not let Xia army go One soldier and one pawn go over here." The victory here has been decided, and Zhao Tun issued several orders in succession, preparing to face Brother Cha (to be continued)
