Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 779
The moonlight was bright and clear, reflected on Bao Si and Ju Tu, the city wall of Shuilong Pass, Cheng Rong, Ming Chao An Tong and other generals stood in the bitter winter wind, watching the Xirong scouts shouting and harassing and insulting outside the city tower , Sow discord.

"These barbarians are making trouble outside the city and cursing people day and night. Don't they think that just by disrupting our daily life, they can defeat others without fighting?" An Tong stared coldly at the Xirong cavalry who were having fun.

"Marshal, the rear of Xirong's army suddenly collapsed. It seems that our people attacked Xirong's baggage!" At this time, general Xu Chao went up to the tower and reported to Cheng Rong and Ming Chao.

"Xu Chao, the last time you led troops to rescue, you fell into an ambush because of Xi Rong's trick. Do you really believe that our army took Xi Rong's retreat this time?" Ming Chao stared at Xu Chao with doubts. .

"Deputy Marshal Ming, look, the rear of Xirong is on fire!" Excitedly, Xu Chao pointed his hand directly at the side of Xirong's Dazhai.

"Xu Chao, our army's opportunity has come. Send me an order to fire cannons on the city and shout to kill." Cheng Rong immediately ordered Xu Chao.

"Kill!" In an instant, the entire Shuilong Pass was full of killing sounds, like a wind-speeding battery. Marshal Bo Li of Xirong was not sure what happened in the rear. How many elite soldiers came out of Shuilongguan, and they were frightened immediately.

"Marshal, if the Zhou army attacks from front to back, our army will definitely not have time to meet up. Please order the Marshal to withdraw the troops for [-] miles!" Angel quickly knelt down and begged Boli.

"Angel, order the army to retreat and give up all the trenches!" Bo Li was worried that the rear of the luggage would be burned by the Zhou army, so he immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops. In the time of a meal, the [-] Xirong cavalry retreated to the original position in an orderly manner. .

"Marshal, all the food and grass of Xirong was burned by our army. Our army won a big victory. The general who came to reinforce our Shuilongguan is none other than Lord Zheng!" An Tong rushed to Chengrong's study with great joy, reporting to Cheng Rong .

"Heading the order, the whole army will come out to meet King Zheng's army!" Cheng Rong raised his eyebrows in joy, and patted An Tong's right shoulder.

For a time, the water dragon was decorated with lights and colorful banners, and the sun was covered by banners and flags. A handsome and handsome Zheng Wang Jutu and a weak-eyed Hengbo, but the heroic Bao Si, wearing a war skirt, came to Cheng Rong and Ming Chao An Tong Xu Chao in a spring breeze. Waiting in front of General Huben.

"I will kowtow to the Empress Dowager Ping!" Cheng Rong saw Baosi, but he was very pleasantly surprised, and immediately led all the generals to kneel down and kowtow to Baosi three times and nine times.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to be strict with etiquette. Everyone has made great achievements. Get up quickly. We went to Shuilongguan to beat up those Xirong Hu people for the common people, and protect our mountains and rivers from being trampled by Xirong!" Bao Si smiled sweetly and immediately helped Cheng Rong up. and others.

"The empress dowager is here, and the soldiers must work together, fight against the enemy, and fight bravely!" Cheng Rong and Ming Chao looked at each other and smiled.

Everyone attended the evening banquet together. Bao Si saw with his own eyes that the guards of the Zhou Dynasty were short of clothes. Although it was cold winter, they had no winter clothes to keep warm. Some winter clothes were distributed to the hard-working soldiers one by one. For a while, the soldiers were all in high spirits and united as one.

"Empress Dowager, to be honest, because Ma Wumen's traitors plotted against us behind our backs, reinforcements have not arrived for a long time, and food roads have also been damaged, so our army's rations can no longer last until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Now that reinforcements have arrived, we I'm afraid the food and grass are even more dangerous!" Ming Chao confided the truth to Bao Si.

"My lord, just keep your heart in your stomach. The palace has already arranged officials and people from neighboring counties to transport food to Shuilongguan in time. Everyone should concentrate on settling accounts with the despicable enemy!" Bao Si He smiled leisurely at everyone.

"Hey! People of the Zhou Dynasty, you are finished. Our spies have spread rumors everywhere in your hometown. Now there is no one in your country who does not know that you are traitors. Give up!" There were bursts of very penetrating laughter.

"These Xirong dogs are sneering and sarcastic again!" Qu Tu laughed loudly, holding a carved bow in his hand, and went up to the tower in front of the soldiers, pulling the bow with all his strength, the bow string was full of the moon, and a silver arrow was aimed at the forehead of the scolding Xirong general. , with a whoosh sound, but seeing the Xirong general fell back, blood and flesh flew all over the spot, and the water dragon was turned off for a while, and the water was boiling, but the Xirong Marshal Boli was furious.

"Brother Cheng, the strength of our army has increased to [-], but our army's food and grass are equal to that of Xi Rong, so we can't last long. Now, what clever strategy can our army have to attract Xi Rong to attack the city quickly, so that our army can use our ability to defend the city?" Superiority!" After observing the formation of Xirong, Kuidu hurriedly asked Cheng Rong for advice.

"Ku Tu, needless to say, hurry up and get married with the empress dowager!" Cheng Rong smiled humorously at Ju Tu, stroking his beard and saying joyfully.

"Brother Cheng, what are you talking about? How can I, Qutu, be with the Empress Dowager?" Quetu suddenly stared at Cheng Rong in a daze, and felt like a deer bumping into his heart.

"Qudu, if you want to make Xirong think that we have a lot of food, the best way is to have a big banquet for several days, and then hold a big wedding. Xirong Boli found out that you and the queen mother are married, so he must suspect that our food road is smooth, so you have a lot of food. The courage to marry the queen mother and openly challenge the emperor of Luoyang, Boli heard that you are married to the queen mother, will definitely send spies to Luoyang to spread rumors, once Luoyang is in chaos, he thinks that we can rush down the Shuilongguan, then Xirong will definitely launch a general attack!" Cheng Rong talked and laughed at Qutu with a composure.

"What? Big marriage? Want our empress and Lord Jutu?" After hearing what Xu Chao said, Mingyue's face turned rosy.

"Girl, we King Zheng and the Empress Dowager have been in love for so many years, but they are separated by stars. Now we have the opportunity to get married and get married. Isn't it a beautiful thing we all look forward to?" Xu Chao Eyebrows curved.

"Xu Chao, the identities of my palace and King Zheng are not clear to the court now. Okay, for the sake of the overall situation, I can marry King Zheng!" Bao Si gently closed the pearl curtain, and looked at Mingyue and Hui with affection moon.

"Your Majesty, these days, we are desperately trying to persuade you to be with Prince Zheng? You refused very implicitly, this?" Hui Yue asked with some surprise in her heart.

"Hui Yue, I've been looking forward to this day for a long time, now that the enemy is in front of me, why am I hesitating?" Bao Si frowned, and suddenly her brows were like a moon.

"Your Majesty, if you are really married to King Zheng, then there will be very ugly rumors in Luoyang City!" Hui Yue stuck out her tongue.

"Why should I care about those words!" Bao Si said with tears in her eyes.

"Report, marshal, great joy, in Shuilongguan, I heard that the daring dude and Baosi got married. Baosi, as the Queen Mother of the Great Zhou, dared to occupy the queen mother for a vassal king. It's really disgusting." The shape has been revealed, shall we send some spies into Luoyang to spread some such scandals?" Angel rolled his eyes and suggested to Bo Li.

"Angel, these days, how did I hear the music of Shuilongguan day and night, and the cheers were thunderous. Jutu and Baosi got married, where did the feast come from?" Bo Li was really puzzled.

"Marshal, is it true that the Zhou army has a lot of food and grass?" Angel couldn't help asking.

"Angere, this guy, Qutu, is so complacent that he dared to forcefully marry the Queen Mother of Zhou Ping. This shows that he has enough food and supplies, but our army has been destroyed. If we don't enter the palace quickly, I'm afraid it will be used by the Zhou army for a protracted war." !” Bo Li said with a flick of his beard.

"Marshal, can we attack Shuilong Pass tomorrow?" Agel asked, clasping his hands.

"Pass down the commander's order, and the army will attack Shuilongguan!" Bo Li shouted excitedly as soon as he clapped the table.

On the next day, Xirong's iron cavalry slaughtered suddenly. One hundred thousand Xirong's iron cavalry dismounted and carried ladders, and attacked fiercely.

"Prince Cheng, the soldiers from the West have indeed attacked the city!" An Tong, who was overjoyed, climbed up the tower cheerfully.

"An Tong, pass on the commander's order, and the army fires their bows and crossbows!" Cheng Rong stroked his beard and laughed loudly.

For a while, the water dragon was turned off and there was a rain of arrows. The ladders of the Xirong soldiers were pushed down by the Zhou army, and the soldiers were shot to death by the arrows. The iron cavalry attacked ferociously for three hours. Not only did Shuilongguan not be captured, but heavy casualties were suffered.

"Kutu, we can send troops to rush out of the city gate and attack the Xirong soldiers!" Cheng Rong looked at the enemy's formation and found that the Xirong soldiers had begun to collapse, so he ordered Qutu happily.

"Rush!" Suddenly the gate of the water dragon gate was opened like a tiger descending the mountain. Zhou Jun's iron cavalry, led by Qutu, rushed into the position of the Xirong soldiers fiercely like a storm, killing Xirong ghosts and howling wolves.

Luoyang, Peony Palace, Concubine Min Gui was riding gracefully and luxuriously in a sedan chair, passing by the lonely palace wall of Kunning Palace. Then he walked lightly to the jade steps of Kunning Palace.

"Where is the empress?" Concubine Min Gui asked the palace man on duty arrogantly.

"Reporting to the imperial concubine, the empress is accompanying the prince to his morning class." The palace servant hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Prince? Remember, there is only one heir for the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty!" Concubine Min Gui stared at the palace servants aggressively and scolded.

"Concubine Min, the crown prince's name is Baoen. The emperor personally announced this in public at the Shuilong Shuren Hall on New Year's Day. Why are you talking nonsense?" The queen followed Concubine Min's deliberate sarcasm and stood upright in front of Concubine Min. .

"Queen, haven't you heard that Empress Dowager Ping and Die Tu are married!" Concubine Min looked down on Empress Ma.
