Lonely King and Widow

Chapter 1306 The pit is 293 meters deep, fight!

The grass is luxuriant on the Xieyang road, and the white snow is boundless and will never return.

The night passed quietly, and another day came.

On the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month in the first year of Jingchang, after just ten days of preparation, King Su He of Beimeng Jinyin led a 30 Beimeng army to the south, and was about to compete with the Nanrong army, which was said to have millions of people.

The Han River is surging, and the Han River is north and south, with the sound of wailing.

On this day, the sky froze the dog to death.A vast expanse of land is covered with thick white snow.Where the Beimeng army passed by, the traces of chariots and horses were burned on the snow, either deep or shallow, looking from a distance, they looked like strange flowers growing out of the snow.Flying snow all over the sky, fluttering down, and being blown into chaos by the wind, dotted this world full of gunpowder and smoke.

One south and one north, two countries are at war, and the war is about to break out.

The news that the Beimeng cavalry went south has already spread throughout Nanrong.

Thousands of miles across the country, there were bursts of mourning, and the people who fled everywhere to avoid disasters brought enormous pressure to the Nanrong Dynasty Hall, which was suffering from the snowstorm.At this time, it is less than a month before the annual New Year's Eve.In Lin'an Mansion, in order to prepare for the war, Emperor Jingchang ordered the palace to stop all kinds of festive activities, so that on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month in the first year of Jingchang, the emperor would go north to fight against the enemy.

The emperor's driving, the momentum is huge.

In Lin'an City, from the gate of the imperial city to the canal in the north, the long road was paved with red carpets, cleaned and organized, and the two sides were full of Nanrong people who came to see him off.They waited here before dawn, just to see the demeanor of Emperor Jingchang with their own eyes.

They are lucky.

Jingchang Emperor Song Xi did not ride in a sedan chair today, but was dressed in gold armor, a golden helmet on his head, and a sword around his waist. He stood tall on a handsome and tall white horse, leading a group of northern generals and close guards to walk slowly When I came to the canal, I saw the people who dared not show their atmosphere, and occasionally smiled and nodded, with a warm look on their handsome brows.

He is very handsome.

He is also calm.

Such an emperor gave the nervous people of Lin'an a little bit of comfort.

It's good that the dragons have heads, but the sky is falling, after all, there are tall people holding it up.

Ever since, with Emperor Jingchang in charge, this war seems to be more interesting.

From south to north, from west to east, the whole world, every country is paying close attention to the movement.

Song Xi went north and led the Southern Rong Army to Jiankang on the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month.

The Jiankang guard led the crowd out of the city to welcome the emperor, and the people in the city rejoiced and shouted in unison three miles outside the city, "Long live, long live, long live", with a loud and powerful voice.Let some folk magicians divination cloud: this battle Nanrong must win.

It seems that as soon as Song Xi came out, the outcome of the war changed the direction of the wind.

The people saw the emperor with smiles on their faces.

Surrounded by the army, Song Xi's face was peaceful, with a smile on his face.

But before he entered the city, someone came to report.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Su is back!"

Before Su Yi left Lin'an, there was only one prime minister in Nanrong.

At that time, the news came that Beimeng was going south, and Song Xi wanted to conquer in person, so the government could not be left alone.So he urgently appointed another prime minister, the right prime minister.In other words, the current Su Yi has become Nan Rong's left minister.

Fleeing from Hara and Lin, now that he has arrived in Jiankang, he naturally wants to visit the emperor earlier.

When Song Xi heard the news, he didn't show too much excitement, but he didn't even bother to eat dinner, so he immediately summoned Su Yi in Jiankang's temporary residence.

Su Yi, who strode into the living room, had gray temples, beard and chest, looked like an old man, and Song Xi was startled.

"Who are you?"

Su Yi tore off the gray beard on his chin, leaned over and saluted him.

"My humble minister Su Yi sees Your Majesty."

"Su Aiqing, why are you—?" Song Xi stopped talking before finishing the question.He also thought of Su Yi being chased and intercepted by Meng He's pursuers when he fled Beimeng, so he had to disguise himself like this.So, he sighed and raised his hand with a smile.

"Su Aiqing has suffered! Get up and talk."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and ordered, "Li Fu, sit down!"

A wooden chair was moved to Song Xi's lower head. Su Yi thanked Song Xi earnestly, lifted his robes, sat upright and took Princess Ziyan all the way to Beimeng. Ten of them reported to the emperor.However, when it came to the matter of Song Yan, he paused for a while.

"Princess Zi Yan couldn't bear the humiliation, she hanged herself—"

Song Xi was not surprised when he got the news a long time ago.

After listening, he lowered his eyebrows slightly and fell into silence.

Su Yi glanced at him, and pleaded guilty in a low voice: "It's the minister who failed to protect me, and I hope His Majesty will punish him!"

Song Xi waved his hands silently, and said lightly, "That's her fate too!"

Time and life.

Who can tell clearly about the ups and downs of a person's life?
This time, it was Su Yi who was silent.

The earth-shattering that night has brought about the flames of war today.

Indeed, who would have thought?
The battle between Beimeng and Nanrong is a war related to the fate of the country of Nanrong.And the battle of national fortune is sometimes a gamble.We won, Guoxing.If it is defeated, the country will decline—or even, the country will perish.Nanrong has experienced more than [-] years of ups and downs since Taizu, and the generation of Song Xi has suffered from wars for hundreds of years.But even in its heyday, the once mighty Pang Kingdom was far inferior to the current Beimeng, which was like a wolf like a tiger.

In this world, no one can stop the Beimeng cavalry.

Wherever their iron hooves went, not a single blade of grass grew.

As for Nanrong, a big country that has long passed away, its former glory is gone forever.The Manchu dynasty suffered from ailments and maladministration, except that we could look for prosperity and prosperity in the poems left by some literati and inkmen.

"His Majesty--"

Su Yi sighed quietly, pulled off the gray hair on his head, smoothed the messy hair crown, stood up suddenly, and saluted Song Xi.

"My minister has a merciless request!"

"Su Aiqing sit down and talk!" Song Xi raised his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Su Yi cupped his hands, but did not sit back. He stood in front of him, with a worried expression on his face, "Your Majesty, please take back your order! Return to Beijing immediately. I will lead you on your behalf." Soldiers go north to fight Beimeng!"

He paused every word, his voice was like a bell, and he spoke extremely loudly.

But this request to lead troops still made Song Xi slightly startled.

Everyone in the world knows that Su Yin, Prime Minister of Nanrong, is capable of both literature and martial arts, and is a young talent.But at his age, he entered the Hanlin Academy as the No. [-] Scholar, so he is a person who is an extremely respected official. Almost no one has seen him show his martial arts.Including Song Xi, he has always regarded him as a civil servant who only understands literature and ink, and does not understand military strategy. He never thought that he could lead troops to fight.

"Su Aiqing——" Staring at Su Yi, who nodded slightly, Song Xi's stern brows seemed to deepen a bit, "It's not that I don't trust you. It's just that the imperial conquest has already been known to everyone. If I come halfway Why don't people in the world laugh at me for being afraid before I fight? This battle, I will fight no matter what."

After a pause, he seemed to think of something, and the corners of his lips were slightly pursed.

"People are mortal, and I am not afraid of winning or losing. Instead, I am worried that I will leave the court empty. A group of courtiers are faint and old. You fight for it all day long, as if they don't know that the country is about to perish, and they are still covering their heads in daylight. Meng. Sigh, I'm really afraid that something will happen to them. It's just in time for Aiqing to come back, and tomorrow you will return to Lin'an, and together with Prime Minister Right, you will be in charge of me."

Let him go back to work?

Su Yi was startled, and wanted to argue again, "No, Your Majesty!"

"I've made up my mind! Ai Qing doesn't need to say anything—" Song Xi's eyes were slightly heavy, and his eyes slowly turned from him to the "Picture of Eight Dukes" by Chen Hong in the middle of the room, his eyes became gentle A lot, and there seemed to be a hint of a smile in his voice, "I have been trapped in that palace all year round, I don't know the joy of being a human being, and I am very tired. I can take this opportunity to go out and walk around, to see the mountains and rivers, and to meet beautiful women , isn’t it fun?! Su Aiqing, why bother to hold back my fun?”

"—Your Majesty!" Su Yi sighed, with unconcealable worry in his eyes, "Your safety is Nan Rong's safety, how can you put yourself in danger?"

"Who said it was a dangerous place?" Song Xi smiled, "That dangerous place is my Taoyuan."

His dangerous situation, my Taoyuan?
Su Yi pursed the corners of his lips, looked at his side face in the dim light, and suddenly changed the subject, "On the way to Jiankang, I heard people say that she is also going south with Lord Su He. In the past two days, I'm afraid We have reached the Yin Mountain..."

"Oh!" Song Xi's expression was light, as if he didn't care too much, and asked very casually, "Meet Su He? Is he an old friend?"

This question made Su Yi hesitate for a moment.

He didn't hear his reply, Song Xi didn't force him, just watched the painting quietly, with a slight smile on his lips.

Finally, Su Yi sighed, "Your Majesty, it is him."

"Yeah." Song Xi wasn't surprised, he glanced at Su Yi's tired face nonchalantly, smiled and waved his hands, "Su Aiqing go down and rest, do you have to hurry tomorrow morning?"

"Your Majesty! I want to go north with you."

"Impossible!" Song Xi smiled lightly, facing his worried face easily, "I have been on the throne for more than a year, and there are not many things inside and outside the court that I am willing to do. At that time, I thought, That’s what being an emperor is all about. You can’t do whatever you want, and you’re not as comfortable as the common people. But this time, I’m willing to go north, even if I lose the battle and be scolded as a fool, I won’t hesitate.”

Su Yi smiled: "How could Your Majesty be a fool?"

"Heh!" Song Xi followed him with a chuckle, "Aren't I just a fool in their mouths?"

"Alas!" From the beginning to the end, Su Yi was someone who knew Song Xi very well. After hearing his self-mockery, Su Yi sighed, as if he wanted to comfort him.But Song Xi's faint gaze had already moved to the distance, and he was staring at the goose feather heavy snow outside the window in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

Lifting the corner of his robe, he stood up and saluted, "Retire!"

Song Xi didn't move, as if he had already merged into that scene and lost himself...

……

The news of Nanrong's mighty emperor's imperial conquest has naturally spread to Beimeng long ago.

One south and one north, two armies are marching towards Bianjing, so the border of Bianjing will inevitably become the main battlefield for this hand-to-hand battle.I only feel sorry for the people of Bianjing Mansion. Less than two years after the end of the war, another more severe war ushered in, and they have not been able to live well for several years.

People are in panic, and rumors are everywhere.

People in Bianjing Prefecture, those who have connections have already moved away with their families. Those who have no connections can only hope that the people of Beimeng will do less harm to the sky and reason, so as not to harm the people, or that Bianjing will guard the ancients. Li Yang can lead the powerful old army left by General Xiao in the past to drive the Beimeng cavalry out of Nanrong.

It has been a while since Gu Liyang received the imperial edict.

The emperor did not order him to go to war, but only ordered him to garrison Bianjing.On the first day after receiving the imperial edict, he began to prepare fortifications, dispatch troops, and arrange defenses.At this time, all preparations for war have already been prepared.Moreover, from the first day of the twelfth lunar month, the major city gates of Bianjing have sent heavy troops, guarding them like an airtight iron bucket.Everyone is waiting, only allowed in, not allowed out.

Bianjing, this ancient city, has not yet started the war, but the sound of wind and rain and the sound of horseshoes seem to have reached everyone's ears.

On the city wall, the wind was shrill.

Gu Liyang pressed his waist knife with his hand, and looked quietly into the distance.

Beside him, a large man in armor with a dark face.

"General Gu, what are your fortifications for?"

Gu Liyang didn't look back, his voice was deep but powerful, "Defend against foreign enemies!"

"Your mother's foreign enemy!" Sun Zenan suddenly took a bite, and he was about to pick up his collar when he went up, "Others don't know, don't you know too? The current situation is in front of you like a mirror, don't you tell me sooner?" Your lord has surrendered, yet you actually built fortifications to guard against him? An imperial decree from the dog emperor, a few beauties, and a few jugs of wine, let your conscience be fed to dogs?"

Sun Zunnan has a violent temper. When he gets angry, he disowns his relatives, has a dark face and fierce eyes, which is really unbearable for ordinary people.

However, amidst his furious scolding, Gu Liyang didn't struggle or resist, and let Sun Zunnan roughly hold his collar and push him hard against the wall.With pain in his back, he frowned, but he could only say a cold sentence.

"I'm from Nanrong!"

"It's kind!" Sun Zunnan raised his fist and beat him without saying a word.

It's really rude, with a "bang", Gu Liyang was punched firmly in the face by him, and his eyes were bruised at first.As soon as he lowered his head, a bright red overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

After taking a sip, he snorted coldly, "Damn you, you beat me so hard!"

"This is called ruthless!?" Sun Zenan pushed him against the wall with his elbows, and waved another old fist unceremoniously, "Since you regard the Lord as a foreign enemy, then I am also you now Why don't you take the opportunity to punch you a few more times, and wait until you're dead before going to the Palace of the King of Hades to beat you?"

"Hiss!" Gu Liyang was punched again, unable to take it anymore.

He grabbed Sun Zaonan's fist, turned around and restrained him, "Listen to me!"

"Talk about your mother's eggs!" Sun Zuonan was not a person who would listen to people speak slowly, and even he himself was afraid when he got excited.At this moment, Gu Liyang's hands and feet were grabbed, of course he refused to admit his cowardice, and hit him in the ribs with a counter hook, all with full strength.Gu Liyang squinted his eyes, and didn't hold back anymore.The two of them scuffled on the city wall like this.

One punch from you, one punch from me, the wind blows, and Sun Zaonan's scolding can be heard from a long distance.

It was a great test for Gu Liyang at this time for the Beimeng cavalry to go south.

He always knew that Xiao Qian was not dead.

And Sun Zunnan was the person Xiao Qian sent to his side.

From the first day Sun Zounan came, Gu Liyang knew that he would definitely have a day to choose, but it was only a matter of time.He was born in Nanrong, grew up in Nanrong, and his family members are also in Nanrong. If he is allowed to let the Beimeng cavalry ride through the mountains and rivers of Nanrong and ravage the people of Nanrong, he will not be able to do it.However, let him lead the army to fight with Xiao Qian on the battlefield, but he still can't do it.

At this moment, he was even a little envious of Chi Zhong.

That General Chi, who had already lost his soul for nine days.

He died and became a hero.

He is not only the hero of Nan Rong, but also the hero of Xiao Qian's heart.

But what about him?Where will this battle go?

In the punch-to-punch exchange with Sun Zuonan, the depression he had held in his heart for a long time finally broke out completely in the battle, as if he was looking for an outlet to vent, he couldn't bear it anymore, and struggled Then he took off his cloak, armor, and waist knife, and fought with Sun Zainan in only a single suit——

When Xue Fang walked up the steps, what he saw was such an absurd scene.

The two people had blood on their faces and bodies, and they rolled in the snow, and their armor was thrown all over the ground.

Xue Fang frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, "The enemy is now, what are you doing?"

The two people who hugged each other tightly and refused to forgive each other were startled, and looked up at Xue Fang.

"Deputy General Xue—?"

When Xiao Qian left, Xue Fang was appointed as the deputy general of the Northern Expeditionary Army.Later, after Xiao's case, Lin'an also had an appointment in person.In other words, Xue Fang is currently sitting in the second place of the Bianjing Northern Expeditionary Army.In particular, he used to be the commander of Xiao Qian's personal bodyguard, and he was someone Xiao Qian trusted and was very close to. Therefore, he had a very high prestige in the old army of the Northern Expedition, and all the soldiers respected him very much.

After being yelled at by him, Sun Zainan also came to his senses.

When people get angry, they almost forget the occasion.

He glared at Gu Liyang viciously, and slowly got up from him. After thinking about it, he couldn't let go of the bad breath. He pointed at Gu Liyang and said to Xue Fang: "Xue Xiaolang, ask this heartless thing yourself. Ask him what he has done?! Humph, I have never seen such an ungrateful person! Even if I am blind, I once regarded him as a brother! I pooh his grandma's legs!"

"You put out the fire first!"

As a deputy general in the army, how could Xue Fang not know about Gu Liyang's fortifications?
But he was much younger than Sun Zainan, but he became Xiao Qian's bodyguard commander, so he was naturally much more careful than Sun Zainan when it came to his thoughts.He walked over slowly, picked up the armor and robe that Gu Liyang had lost on the ground, and slowly put it on him, then walked to the edge of the city wall, glanced at the north, sighed heavily, and just took out a piece of clothing from his arms. A letter paper, handed up.

"The lord hasn't heard anything yet, so you're fighting in the nest! How sad it must be to let the lord know about this!? Well, let's take a look first, and then talk about it."

Gu Liyang wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, "The Lord came up?"

Hmm, Xue Fang's voice was neither light nor heavy, but his words were serious, "Who is the Lord, don't you still know? Can the Lord not think of things you can think of? The worries in your heart, the Lord will take it seriously. Don't you think about it? You have been with him for so many years, but you don't know what he is like!"

With a slight tremor of his fingers, Gu Liyang slowly took the letter.

　I misreported the chapter last night, and passed the chapter here to the medical concubine.

　　Too two!Erjin is here, apologizing to the little masters who made a mistake, I'm sorry, okay!
