Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 344 Decided to Return to Beijing
It turned out that since the battle between the Yue family army and the puppet Qi army, the people of Lianghe fled one after another and went to the Song Dynasty in Xiangyang.Yue Pengju ordered all to be accepted, and the people settled down in the Song Dynasty within Xiangyang, reclaiming a large number of local wasteland and wasteland, and many middle-aged people were incorporated into the Yue Family Army.

Yue Pengju was having dinner, and was very excited when he got the news of the victory. He clapped his hands and said, "The Fourth Prince's defeat this time will definitely destroy the spirit of the Jin army. Sister Seventeen, those 12 boats and arrows came really well."

Hua Rong put down his job and was also very happy: "Now that Jin Wushu has all the power, I guess he won't give up easily."

"The fourth prince has a great advantage. He can freely dispatch troops. If he uses it properly, he will have infinite power. This is beyond my reach. Sister Seventeen, I have an idea. Before the fourth prince can take a breather, take advantage of the victory..."

Hua Rong naturally understood the meaning of her husband's words. Starting from the great victory in Yancheng, the army's morale lies in boosting rather than hitting.More importantly, during this time, Zhao Deji did not interfere too much. If his mastery and consciousness prevailed, the previous hard work would be in vain.

Three days later, Jin Wushu saw Tu Hesu who had fled in defeat. His left leg was injured and he was limping. It was already late autumn, and the weather turned cold. Tu Hesu stood in the autumn wind, looking very embarrassed.Next to him was Han Chang who was blind in one eye.

Tu Hesu looked embarrassed, lowered his head and said dejectedly: "Fourth Prince, the Yue Nan Barbarian Committee is really difficult to fight."

Seeing that he was defeated, Jin Wushu didn't count it, and his spirit was also depressed. He was furious, and took a willow stick to beat him himself: "You are not good at fighting, and you still shake the morale of the army. What should you do?"

Tu Hesu suffered ninety willow sticks, although it wasn't enough to hurt the muscles and bones, but the pain was unbearable, and he limped even more. From then on, he felt resentment towards Jin Wushu.

Jin Wushu immediately ordered the army to be divided into five armies, and really started a decisive battle with the Yue family army.

Before the decisive battle, the Jin army did another big thing.Kaifeng is the mausoleum of Zhao's ancestors. The Jin army looted the tombs of these ancestors, destroyed the tombs of these ancestors, stole all the buried objects, and even pulled out the moldy bones and whipped them all over the ground.When the news spread to Song State, Zhao Deji naturally wailed again. This time, he made up his mind to fight the Jin army. He appointed Yue Pengju, Han Zhongliang, Zhang Jun and other three generals to recruit envoys, and announced that Zhang Jun would go to the front line to personally supervise the battle. .

Zhang Jun first arrived at Liu Guang's garrison camp.Zhao Deji was dissatisfied with Liu Guangyong because he was mediocre and no more charming than Zhang Jun. He was also very self-aware, and he bought many mansions with fertile land, handed over his military power and went back to his hometown to recuperate.Therefore, his army has no leader.Li Qiong, the number one titan who was originally subordinate to Liu Guang, wrote to Zhang Jun, asking to lead the army alone.Zhang Jun was born as a Jinshi, and has always looked down on generals. Seeing that Li Qiong was demanding too much, in order to teach him a lesson, he promoted Wang De, Li Qiong's deadly rival.Li Qiong refused to accept it, and discussed with her subordinates, even planned to kill Wang De and others, and led 4 people to seek refuge with the fourth prince Jin Wushu.

Zhao Deji was having a banquet in the palace that day, when he received this news, it was like a bolt from the blue, the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground and shattered in fright.Shocked and terrified, he was worried day and night that the general would not lose his tail, and sure enough, Li Qiong and the others led the crowd to defect to the enemy's country after a few words.

This incident caused great panic both inside and outside the court, and Zhang Jun, the prime minister, was also impeached from all sides.Seeing that the time had come, Qin Hui, who had been waiting for a long time, ordered his minions to jump up and down. When Zhang Jun saw the three-foot-thick impeachment paper Zhao Deji threw in front of him, he had no choice but to take the blame and resign to save his last face.

As soon as he left, Qin Hui took the long-awaited throne as a matter of course - the position of prime minister of the empire.

As soon as Qin Hui took office, he received a close invitation from Jin Wushu.

Wang Junhua hadn't seen the fourth prince for a long time, and missed him ardently, holding his handwritten letter for a while, when her husband came back from business, he set up a banquet early, and said happily: "Old man, the fourth prince has a letter."

Qin Hui saw it, and naturally wanted him to destroy Song's anti-gold strategy.Wang Junhua saw him pondering and said nothing, a little angry: "Old man, if the fourth prince hadn't been released, you are still herding horses in the north today. The kindness of the fourth prince should not be forgotten for a day."

"Madam, calm down, how dare you betray the fourth prince? It's just that the new prime minister just openly advocates peace. Wouldn't he be impeached by such a rabid scholar?"

Someone had impeached Qin Hui for a long time as a secret work of captives, Wang Junhua naturally knew that the husband and wife were worrying, and heard the doorman report that Fan Tong was visiting.Fan Tong and Qin Hui studied in the same academy in their early years, and Fan Tong ranked first in his essays, so he looked down on Qin Hui very much.Unexpectedly, after many years, Qin Hui is now the prime minister of the dynasty, he is only a mere seventh-rank official, so he naturally wants to curry favor with Qin Hui.

Qin Hui said with a smile: "Fan Tong is a hungry dog ​​in the officialdom, and the leftovers from this table are cold, so naturally reward him."

Fan Tong came in and sat down, and had a few polite words with Qin Hui.Qin Hui naturally did not hide his former classmates, and went straight to the topic: "This is the first time I am facing the old man today. The Holy One asked about peace and war. The old man can only suggest that all the troops should stick to their positions and choose their own interests lightly."

Fan Tong wanted to express himself, so he said: "Qin Xianggong might as well fight the yang and the yin."

Qin Hui was puzzled and asked, "What is the war between yang and yin?"

"The lower officials believe that peace negotiations are the foundation of the country's long-term stability. However, there are censors in the court who are barking wildly, so they cannot openly advocate peace negotiations. Qin Xianggong might as well put up a high profile, advocate the use of troops against the captives, and promise rewards, but privately, he prevents them. The actions of the generals should be communicated and coordinated with the Kingdom of Jin."

These remarks directly hit Qin Hui's vital point, and he said happily: "A great plan. But the other generals are fine. I'm afraid Yue Pengju, Han Zhongliang and other arrogant soldiers will not follow orders and march forward..."

"Qin Xianggong should know that our dynasty is heavily guarded against military generals. If Yue Pengju, Han Zhongliang and others dare not obey orders, it is not a matter of arrogance, but a serious crime of disobedience..."

Qin Hui thought of Zhao Deji's fear of Li Qiong's investment in gold, and said happily: "Let's plan according to this."

Fan Tong left, and Wang Junhua, who was eavesdropping behind the curtain, came out: "Old man, it's time for us to serve the fourth prince. Yue Pengju is a warlike man, so he will definitely die this time."

Qin Hui was also very proud: "The lower official told Madam a long time ago that he must have killed these two eyesores, so he must not be talking nonsense."

When Wang Junhua was happy, he pulled his beard: "Old man, after you pick up the heads of Yue Pengju and Hua Rong, I will personally collect two beautiful concubines for you."

"Thank you Madam for your kindness."

Just when Yue Pengju was fully deploying for the decisive battle with Jin Wushu, he received a handwritten letter from Zhao Deji from Lin'an.On the yellow paper inside, Zhao Deji wrote that he was required to: "Heavy troops to guard, light soldiers to choose profit", and he was not allowed to accept refugees from Lianghe.Those who are accepted now will also be deported and returned to the Kingdom of Jin.

The news was like a bolt from the blue, Yue Peng patted the case heavily, his eyes blazing, if he obeyed, wouldn't the Northern Expedition be in vain?
Hua Rong was also shocked by this news.In view of the fact that the Li Qiaoniang incident was mixed with the army, some of Yue Pengju's ideas were not announced among the generals, so Hua Rong immediately persuaded her husband: "You can call the staff to discuss."

Yue Pengju summoned the four most important staff members under his account: Li Ruoxu, Yu Peng, Zhu Fu, and Sun Ge to discuss together.

Li Ruoxu sighed and said: "Heavy troops to guard, light soldiers to choose profit, that is to say, the generals should stand still and let the gold thieves be arrogant."

Zhu Fu also said: "Now that Qin Hui is the prime minister, he is a captive who works carefully. He will definitely do everything possible to obstruct the war of resistance and advocate peace talks."

Everyone talked endlessly, especially the people who had been expelled and defected. They held warm hopes and longings for the "Master Wang", hoping to expel the captives and restore the rivers and mountains. Do "drive mouth" (slave).

Yue Pengju frowned, and said after a long while: "I'm still Qizuo, stating the pros and cons of the current war of resistance, hoping to buy time and complete the great cause."

Hua Rong knew that there was no hope, but still did not stop it. Li Ruoxu and the others also knew that they were just looking for fish, but they also discussed seriously. At present, Zhu Fu personally drafted it and revised it one by one. The above also euphemistically mentioned that as long as he succeeds in the Northern Expedition, he will be dismissed and returned to the field. , Retired in Donglin.Then, Yue Pengju copied it in his own handwriting and sent it to Lin'an by express courier.

The courier sent them away, and the couple had a sleepless night.

The little tiger head, which has been around for several months, was placed in the big bed of his parents, sleeping sweetly.Children grow very fast, can eat and sleep, and rarely cry, which makes parents worry a lot.Before he was two months old, his parents went out to fight, and returned after a great victory. Hua Rong brought his son with him, but after a short time together, they parted again.At this time, Hua Rong couldn't comfort her son's cute little face, so she called Liu Ma to come in and take the child away.

Although Yue Pengju has always been taciturn, but with his wife, he always had a lot of words. Tonight, he fell on the pillow in a state of confusion and didn't say a word.Hua Rong was also in the same mood, gently took her husband's hand, and said in a low voice: "In the past, Wang Jian, the famous general of Qin State, led an army of 60 to attack Chu. Some people think that Wang Jian is too greedy and vulgar, but Wang Jian said, "The king of Qin is violent and suspicious. Now he entrusts me with all the troops in the whole country. Don't you doubt it? I have to ask more fields to seal off the descendants, so as to dispel his hatred for me." Now, the emperor is obviously using Li Qiong's mutiny as an excuse, and he is even more suspicious of generals. Naturally, you are not allowed to lead the army in Lien Zhan, for fear that the tail will not be lost..."

Yue Pengju smiled bitterly: "Even if I want land and land, I'm afraid I can't dispel his suspicion..."

Hua Rong said slowly: "I want to take Hutou back to Lin'an to see the mansion that the emperor rewarded us..."

Yue Pengju was shocked and immediately understood what his wife meant.In order for her to fulfill her ideal of the Northern Expedition, she wanted to bring her son back to the capital as a "hostage"!
He shook his head: "Sister Seventeen, absolutely not!"

"Why not?"

Zhao Deji is not Qin Shihuang, who is talented and general.Yue Pengju has two concerns. One is that Wang Junhua regards Hua Rong as a thorn in his flesh. Now that Qin Hui is the prime minister, she will never let go of any chance to frame Hua Rong; After being impotent, he became mentally abnormal. In his early years, he wanted to force Hua Rong to enter the palace several times. If Hua Rong went back, would he know that it was not a sheep that entered the tiger's mouth?The last time Miao Liu rebelled, Zhao Deji was able to completely disregard Hua Rong's life and death. Now that Hua Rong returns to Beijing, if there is any trouble, I'm afraid he will kill Hua Rong's mother and son without hesitation.

Yue Pengju shook his head vigorously: "You mother and son will go back, there must be more than good luck! Besides, apart from sacrificing in vain, it will do nothing at all."
