The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 320
"what do you mean?"

Li Yan glanced at the envelope, feeling more and more confused, but Huo Xun didn't explain to him, but gave him a gesture that only two of them could understand.

"Don't worry, my lord, this subordinate will make arrangements now!"

For a moment, Li Yan seemed to understand something suddenly, and immediately took the order to go, while Huo Xun's eyes flickered a few times, and he turned his attention to the letter at hand again.

In the letter, Xiao Ruan said that she had guessed the plan between him and the prince based on the changes in Beijing, and asked him not to worry about himself, but to act boldly.

This letter was like a reassurance pill, calming Huo Xun's restless heart instantly,
Ever since he saw the jade pendant on Zhao Yan, he had been worried that he would lose Xiao Ruan as Li Yan said, but now that he thought about it, it was clear that Xiao Ruan had seen his intention and cooperated on purpose.

It is precisely because of this that he will express his emotion just now.

"If you have a wife like this, what more can you ask for? Ruan'er, just rest assured, I will not let you down!"

After reading the contents of the letter again, Huo Xun held the letter tightly, his eyes became firmer,
The western border of Jin State is a barren land with vast land and few people.However, troublesome people came out of the poor mountains and rivers, especially in the spring of each year, when the Xiluoyi people came and invaded frequently, which had always been the emperor's most troublesome problem.

"Your Majesty, this time, the leader of Xi Luo is aggressive and has already occupied Shaoguang and Anping two passes. If we can't think of a way to retreat from the enemy, I'm afraid they will drive straight in and directly attack the capital of our Great Jin Dynasty!"

Lord Wang, who was in charge of guarding the frontier in the court hall, was worried, but as soon as his voice fell, Lord Zhao from the Ministry of Rites immediately jumped out to refute.

"My lord, don't be alarmist. The Xiluoyi people with strong limbs and simple minds, even if they capture two passes, so what? We have a strong army, strong horses, strong horses, strong horses, strong horses, and a prosperous country. Could it be that a few thieves can't do it?"

"What Mr. Zhao said is very true. What Mr. Wang said is to increase the ambition of others and destroy the prestige of our country!"

As Lord Zhao's voice fell, other people responded one after another, and immediately turned that Lord Wang's face flushed with anger: "You people live in a safe and rich place, and you have never seen the ferocity and tyranny of the Xiluo people. I don't know how powerful they are, but if Mr. Zhao really has a way to think of a way to retreat from the enemy, I, Mr. Wang, will trust you once!"

"you……"

After being robbed by Mr. Wang, Mr. Zhao suddenly showed embarrassment.

He is just an official of the Ministry of Rites to convey the holy will, and he has never been in contact with marching and fighting, so he can't come up with any way to retreat.

But seeing that the emperor's eyes were all on him, he lowered his head and quietly aimed his eyes at the crown prince in the front row.

This Mr. Zhao is the prince's subordinate. The emperor was upset because of the frontier affairs. He heard him arguing with Mr. Wang in the hall for a long time, but there was no way out. His heart grew angry, and he followed his eyes for help. Look at the prince.

"Prince, if you have any tricks to defeat the enemy, tell them quickly, and don't let your subordinates play tricks on you!"

When the crown prince was named, he immediately showed panic. From the corner of the eye, he glanced at Mr. Zhao angrily, and quickly apologized to the emperor: "Please forgive me, my son, I haven't come up with a good plan to retreat from the enemy. "

"Didn't you say that I have a strong army and a strong horse? Why can't I even think of a way to retreat from the enemy? What use is there for you!"

Hearing this, the emperor immediately let out a cold snort from his throat, and the anger emanating from his body made all the officials in the hall tremble, and that Master Zhao even sat down on the ground trembling with his legs trembling.

"Father, my son has an idea."

In the silence, King Huai Zhao Yan suddenly stood up from the queue, the emperor's surprise flashed across his face and he said immediately: "What kind of plan does Yan'er have, tell me quickly."

"Father, the Ciro people are located in a remote area, and they invade our Great Jin every spring. They must want to plunder food from us as seeds. As long as we release the news that there is a grain transport convoy heading to Shaoguang, we will Setting up an ambush will surely wipe them all out!"

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and suddenly let out a series of laughs: "The strategy that Duke Huai came up with is really wonderful! The people of Xiluo don't even have enough food to eat, so they invaded our country just for food."

As soon as the emperor said this, all the ministers applauded. Zhao Yan glanced at the crown prince triumphantly, and then said loudly to the emperor: "Father, as your lord said, the people of Xiluo are brutal and brutal. The soldiers may not be their opponents, I think that the only one who can fight against them is General Huo, Hou Dingguo."

Hearing the elegant meaning of Xuange, Huo Xun immediately went forward to ask the emperor for orders: "The emperor is willing to send troops to Xiluo according to King Huai's plan. If the Xiluo people cannot be driven out of our Jin Dynasty, I am willing to apologize with death."

As soon as Huo Xun's military order came out, the emperor's smile grew wider, and he was immediately appointed as the Great General of Shenwu, and sent troops to attack Xiluo the next day.

Huo Xun led the troops to the western frontier, but within three days, Shaoguangguan sent back news that Huo Xun had defeated the leader of Xiluo, not only driving him out of the border, but also forcing him to sign an agreement with the Jin Dynasty on paying tribute every year .

When the news came, the whole country cheered in the Jin Dynasty, and the emperor was even more joyful, ordering the people of the city to welcome Huo Xun on the day of triumph, which made Huo Xun even more famous among the people.

"If you talk about how brave General Shenwu is, you can't finish it for three days and three nights! Do you know the Xiluo people? , as soon as I heard about the Great General Shenwu, I was so frightened..."

In the largest teahouse in the capital, the storyteller held a gavel and vividly told about Huo Xun's heroic deeds in repelling the Xiluo people in the frontier, which attracted everyone in the teahouse to applaud.

"This storyteller really made Huo Xun a god. How could he defeat the Xiluo people without the prince's ingenious plan?"

In the private room on the second floor of the teahouse, a man wearing a mask and dressed in black, seeing the applause downstairs, immediately let out a cold snort from his nose, and at the same time looked at the person opposite.

"The prince is so calm, don't you feel that the limelight has been stolen by that idiot Huo Xun?"

Zhao Yan raised his eyebrows, but didn't answer immediately, raised his hand to pick up the tea bowl in front of him, took a sip, and then said: "Master Huo is wrong to say that, the name of this great general is not for nothing Yes, if it wasn't for him to advise me at the beginning, how could this king come up with this plan?"

Hearing these words, Huo Yuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised his eyes, and looked straight at Zhao Yan: "So the lord thinks he can be trusted unconditionally? Don't forget, lord, Xiao Ruan is pregnant with his child. As long as the prince is still interested in Xiao Ruan, he will definitely have second thoughts about you."

As soon as this remark came out, Zhao Yan's face suddenly became darker, and he immediately put the tea bowl in his hand on the table.

The dull sound made Huo Yuan frowned, and his face with the black mask became a little more condensed.

However, within a short while, the corners of his exposed mouth raised high: "Why is your lord angry, you invited me here to meet, don't you just want me to deal with Huo Xun?"

After speaking, Huo Yuan turned his gaze back to the storyteller downstairs.

At this time, the storyteller had already talked about Huo Xun's other heroic deeds, and his words were full of praise: "General Huo's merits and virtues are unprecedented. ! Today's peaceful and prosperous world is all dependent on General Huo!"

"My lord, what do you think if such words reach the ears of the emperor? Even the emperor can't suppress Huo Xun, how can you ensure that he can be used by you, lord?"

Huo Yuan's voice carried a certain kind of bewitchment, and gradually drew out Zhao Yan's thoughts hidden in his heart.

Now the voice of the court to depose the prince is getting louder and louder, but the emperor has no intention of deposing the prince.

It happened that the Xiluo people repeatedly invaded the frontier, which made the emperor extremely headache. Huo Xun thought that as long as he could find a solution to relieve the emperor's worries, and work up and down, the emperor would agree to abolish the prince and make Zhao Yan the prince.

But now that the Xiluo people have been kicked out, Huo Xun is the only person remembered by the emperor and the people in the capital, and no one at all remembers that Zhao Yan proposed this strategy back then.

Zhao Yan was dissatisfied, and felt more and more that Huo Xun needed to suffer a little, lest he forget who his real master was.

She invited Huo Yuan to come here to hear the book, and she wanted to make Huo Yuan feel dissatisfied with Huo Xun, so as to help him think of a way to warn Huo Xun.

It's just that Huo Yuan can't do without Xiao Ruan every time he talks, which really makes him unhappy.

Zhao Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at Huo Yuan's face for a long time, and finally said: "Master Huo has any means, just say it."

There was cheering and cheering downstairs again, Huo Yuan's black metal mask seemed to have a cold light flashing away, and then he opened his mouth slowly...

On the day Huo Xun triumphantly returned to Beijing, the weather was gloomy, and the air was filled with a sense of boredom for no reason.

The common people on the main street in central Beijing stretched their necks waiting for Huo Xun and his army to pass by, and at the gate of the city gathered countless spontaneously welcoming common people, and even a young woman waved a handkerchief in her hand to say hello in surprise .

As time passed, sharp-eyed people saw a cloud of yellow dust suddenly rising from the end of the road outside the city gate, and immediately cheered and shouted: "General Huo is back! General Huo is back!"

This shout was like a spark thrown into dry wood, instantly igniting the passion of the people, and the cheers became louder and louder.

The neat sound of horseshoes was like stepping on the hearts of everyone, bringing a sense of excitement, and the soldiers guarding the city slowly opened the city gate.

However, at this moment, a Royal Forest Army suddenly came galloping from the inner city with their whips raised high, and when they reached the gate of the city, they immediately reined in their horses and stopped.

Huo Xun's army outside the city was getting closer and closer. Seeing that Huo Xun was close in front of him, the leader of the imperial forest army suddenly took out an imperial decree from his arms, and loudly said in the eyes of everyone: "Huo Xun is suspected of colluding with foreign enemies. Immediately send General Huo to prison awaiting trial!"
