Chapter 225 Battle of Zaozhuang

The general Ba mentioned by Xiao Jiyun is named Ba Yong. He is now a close minister of Xiao Jiyun and was granted the position of general by Xiao Jiyun. He is currently in charge of all the troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This person did as Xiao Jiyun ordered. Not long after, a tall and mighty middle-aged man in armor came over.

It was Ba Yong, who had the cultivation of a master.

No wonder Ba Yong could become a general. This is not only based on relationships, but also on strength.

Otherwise, even if Xiao Jiyun forced him to be a general, his soldiers would not obey him.

Now is a critical moment again. Xiao Jiyun is not a fool who digs his own grave to do this.

The man walked to Xiao Jiyun, knelt on one knee and said: "Your Majesty, I am Ba Yong!"

"General Ba, please stand up!"

Xiao Jiyun called Ba Yong up, and Ba Yong did not say hello to Xiao Jiyun. He stood up and asked: "I wonder why your majesty wants me here?"

"Where are the troops of the deposed prince and the fifth prince?" Xiao Jiyun asked.

Xiao Jiyun called the prince the deposed prince.

Although the emperor had thought of deposing the prince before, he did not take any action before his death and never told the outside world that he wanted to depose the prince.

But so what, he is now sitting in this position. If he does not call him the deposed prince, does he have to acknowledge his identity as the prince?

In this case, wouldn't his identity as a traitor be confirmed?

When Xiao Jiyun asked, Ba Yong immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the troops of the deposed crown prince and the fifth prince are now 800 miles away from Kyoto."

The other side's troops are only 800 miles away from Kyoto, which is a very dangerous distance. If there is any temporary mistake, it will be too late to remedy it.

However, after hearing Ba Yong's report, Xiao Jiyun's face was very calm, and he didn't seem to care much. He just asked: "How are we prepared?"

Ba Yong said to Xiao Jiyun: "Everything is ready, just waiting for the other side to arrive in Zaozhuang."

Yes, the reason why Xiao Jiyun did not send troops to stop the troops of the crown prince and Xiao Tianyu was to let them pass all the way.

This phenomenon does not mean that Xiao Jiyun gave up, but that Xiao Jiyun was ready to fight the crown prince and Xiao Tianyu to the death in Zaozhuang.

Who will be the final winner among the three depends on this decisive battle.

Three days later, the crown prince and Xiao Tianyu's troops arrived in Zaozhuang. It was also here that the crown prince and Xiao Tianyu encountered the court's troops for the first time.

The three parties gathered here. The prince and Xiao Tianyu knew that Xiao Jiyun wanted to fight them to the death here.

They thought it through, but none of them moved first, and they were all watching.

Especially the prince and Xiao Tianyu, they dared not move.

Whoever moved first would consume his own strength with Xiao Jiyun, and finally benefit the other party. Such a stupid thing, the prince and Xiao Tianyu would not do it.

So, the three forces confronted each other in Zaozhuang for a long time. Although there were some minor frictions in the middle, they were just tests, and no one dared to really take action.

Just when the three parties were wasting time in Zaozhuang, Mu Fei and his carriage had already driven out of Jiangnan and set foot on Sanhe Road.

"Ah~ Why is the carriage so shaking? I'm about to vomit."

Suddenly, Chu Shiyu's cry came from the carriage.

It was going well just now, why did the carriage suddenly shake, and it was shaking, as if it was going to flip over.

Chu Shiyu has been living in seclusion since she was a child. She had never experienced such an experience and could not bear it for a while.

"Please be patient, Madam. We are already on the road to Sanhe. The road is a bit bumpy. It will be fine after this section."

Hearing Chu Shiyu's complaints in the carriage, the driver hurriedly explained to her.

Although Xiao Tingxuan has been repairing roads in recent years, he only repaired the interior and did not complete the entire road.

For example, Xiao Tingxuan did not repair this section of road between Jiangnan and Sanhe, and deliberately left it here.

Otherwise, if outsiders knew about it, how could Xiao Tingxuan develop in Sanhe with peace of mind.

However, this section of road will soon be repaired.

When Xiao Tingxuan sends troops, it will be the time to repair this section of road.

At that time, Xiao Tingxuan will not have to worry about the forces outside. Whoever dares to go wild with him will first try to see if the blade in his hand is sharp.

"Be patient!"

After receiving the driver's response, Li Jingxue held Chu Shiyu's hands with both of her own, trying to keep her steady and not feel so uncomfortable.

In fact, Li Jingxue herself felt uncomfortable, but when she thought about how Xiao Tingxuan had been enfeoffed in the same way, and had lived in Sanhe for five years, how could their suffering be as bad as Xiao Tingxuan's?

Compared with the suffering Xiao Tingxuan had endured, their suffering was nothing.

Seeing Li Jingxue comforting her like this, and looking at the expression on Li Jingxue's face at the moment, Chu Shiyu already understood what Li Jingxue was thinking.

It was indeed quite sympathetic that Xiao Tingxuan was enfeoffed in Sanhe by the emperor, and Chu Shiyu could understand Li Jingxue's mood at the moment.

She had never been to Sanhe before, and didn't know what Sanhe was like, but through this incident, combined with everyone's rumors, Chu Shiyu had already imagined what Sanhe was like.

It was indeed a place of exile, and the environment was really bad. If she had known this, she would not have come to Sanhe and would have returned to Jiangnan to enjoy a peaceful life.

However, there is no regret medicine in the world. Now that she is here, she should be at ease and bear it for a while. I hope she can hold on.

"I..."

Just when Chu Shiyu was about to give up and wanted to ask the driver to stop the carriage.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped shaking and became stable as if it was on the official road.

"Why is the carriage not shaking?"

Chu Shiyu became confused, and the nausea she had just felt was gone.

Li Jingxue was also puzzled, but she did not speak and lifted the curtain of the carriage.

Looking from the carriage, Li Jingxue saw a flat road, which was in sharp contrast to the narrow, bumpy muddy road before.

Li Jingxue asked curiously: "Where is this?"

She found it hard to believe that this was Sanhe, and even had an idea in her mind, maybe the driver took the wrong road, or that Mu Fei was not sent by Xiao Tingxuan.

But then she thought about it, it was not right. If Mu Fei was not sent by Xiao Tingxuan, who would have spent so much effort to rescue them.

"To answer the queen, this is Sanhe."

Just when Li Jingxue was confused, the driver's voice came from outside the carriage, telling her that this was Sanhe.

"Is this really Sanhe?"

Li Jingxue still couldn't believe it. Isn't Sanhe a remote place? How could there be such a good road? It shouldn't be.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Looking at Li Jingxue's puzzled expression, Chu Shiyu asked in confusion. If she heard correctly, Li Jingxue was asking the driver if this was Sanhe.

It was really strange. Why did Li Jingxue suddenly ask this? Is there something different here?

Driven by curiosity, Chu Shiyu stuck her head out of the window. When she saw the environment outside, she was also stunned.

Chu Shiyu finally understood what Li Jingxue meant just now. This road was better than most official roads. No wonder she didn't feel that the car was shaking.

If such a road were in other places, Chu Shiyu would not think it was nothing. On the contrary, it was very normal.

But you have to know that this is Sanhe, which is synonymous with the place of exile, the place of smog, etc.

However, it is in such a place, with such a good road, how can people not be curious? It is completely unreasonable.
