First Lady of the Crown Prince

Chapter 823 The Regret of the King (1st update)

  Xiao Heng’s guess was confirmed in the following days.

 In mid-August, news came from Tianshan Pass that the Jin army was marching eastward.

 Two days later, news came from Yanmen Pass that the Liang army was marching eastward.

The Han family and the Nangong family are still on the road and will not arrive at the border soon. They should contact the border guard through their confidants.

Tianshan Pass is garrisoned by the troops of the Han family, while Yanmen Pass is garrisoned by the troops of the Nangong family. Although there are other generals, the chief general is the confidant of these two families. Once the secret report arrives, the two families have to rush for almost 800 miles. The family's troops quickly cleared the obstacles and controlled the situation at the border.

When the information reached the capital of Yan, the king was so angry that he smashed the inkstone in the imperial study room!

 The eunuchs and maids in the room were so frightened that they knelt on the ground.

 Zhang Dequan was too bold to speak out.

Who would have expected that after arresting the Han family and imprisoning the prince, two aristocratic families would join forces to rebel?

　　　They are much more arrogant than the Xuanyuan family back then.

The Xuanyuan family did not rebel because they were afraid of being caught if they committed a crime.

 It was only after learning about the secret agreement between the king and the Jin and Liang countries that he decided to rebel.

At that time, there were only the monarch and Xuanyuan Li in the imperial study, as well as Zhang Dequan who was serving tea.

Zhang Dequan still finds it shocking to recall Xuanyuan Li Yiyi’s indignant words.

Xuanyuan Li said: "Shangguan Jingyang, do you really think that the Xuanyuan family is your biggest threat? In order to get rid of the Xuanyuan family, you will not hesitate to seek skin from a tiger! One day you will regret it!"

 Sixteen years later, Xuanyuan Li's words finally came true.

The ambitions of Jin and Liang can no longer be concealed, but now that Yan has lost the Xuanyuan family's millions of troops, what can it use to fight against the forces of the two great powers?

Not to mention that the Han family and the Nangong family took away nearly half of the troops!

How to fight this battle?

What chance does it have of winning!

If Xuanyuan Li is still alive and all the sons of the Xuanyuan family are still alive, perhaps we can fight a battle in which less can defeat more.

 But, they all died in the battle.

Ever since the Han family revealed her true face, the monarch has spent not a day without regret. Whether it is internal or external troubles, as long as the Xuanyuan family is here, there will not be so many monsters and monsters.

He was afraid of the great achievements of the Xuanyuan family, so he wanted to destroy the entire Xuanyuan family for a prophecy.

 But in the end, Dayan's country was still in a precarious situation!

The monarch took a deep breath and calmed down: "I still have a large army, the troops of the Wang family and the Mu family, and the Black Wind Cavalry... I may not lose..."

Outside the imperial study room, an urgent report from a spy suddenly came.

 “Xuan!” the king said seriously.

 Zhang Dequan announced the spies into the imperial study.

 There was more than one spy.

“Your Majesty, Cang Xue Guan has reported urgently that Chen State’s army is advancing toward the east!”

 “Your Majesty, please make careful efforts to discover Zhao’s army!”

“Your Majesty, the Zhao Kingdom’s army has been discovered at Chishui Pass!”

Out of the six countries in the world, five are already marching towards Yan.

This is no longer an invasion by Jin and Liang. Even the three lower countries took advantage of the situation to plunder and take away a piece of Yan's flesh.

In the past, the three kingdoms of Zhao, Chen, and Zhao would not have had the guts to do so, but now the news of Jin and Liang Dynasty's Yan sending troops has already shocked the world, and the "good news" of the defection of the Han family and the Nangong family has not been hidden from the eyes of spies from all over the world.

 If you don’t come and get a share of the pie now, when will you wait?

 The monarch's blood surged, he vomited a mouthful of blood on the spot, and fell to the ground and fainted!

Zhang Dequan hurriedly invited the imperial doctor, and also asked people to invite Gu Jiao, Shangguan Yan and Xiao Heng into the palace.

To be honest, the development of things here is indeed a bit unexpected.

 It was originally thought that stopping the Han family would prevent a civil war, but without the consumption of civil war, Jin and Liang would not easily confront Yan.

Unexpectedly, the Han family and the Nangong family joined forces to rebel, which not only caused civil strife, but also directly opened all the border checkpoints of Dayan, turning the two countries' invasion into a five-nation plunder.

In the dream, Zhao, Chen, and Zhao did not participate in the carving up of the Yan State, because at that time, the Yan State only had a skin left, and the Jin and Liang States could easily capture it.

At present, Dayan has strong soldiers and horses, so losing is certain, but it will definitely be a fierce battle, and there is no time to take care of Dayan's eastern border.

“This situation has turned out to be even more serious than in the dream.”

 Gu Jiao has had so many prophetic dreams, and this is the most out of her control.

Will everyone still end up in the dream?

 The carriage arrived at the palace.

 The monarch had just experienced a minor stroke and was rescued in time by the imperial doctor. He looked very haggard, as if he had aged more than ten years in a day.

He was lying on the bright yellow dragon bed, his breath flowing freely.

 He tasted remorse and the bitter consequences of retribution.

 Gu Jiao checked his body and found that there was no danger for his life, but his body would not be able to recover as well as before in the short term.

Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng could see that he had something to say to Shangguan Yan, so they turned around and walked out.

 Zhang Dequan also retreated with his palace attendants.

Only the father and daughter were left in the huge dormitory.

Shangguan Yan stood in front of the dragon bed, looked at the old and feeble monarch indifferently, and asked heartily: "Do you regret it?"

The monarch's lips twitched twice, and a trace of regret flashed in his cloudy eyes, but underneath he was stubborn and unwilling to admit that he had been frivolous.

 But in fact, he had regretted it a long time ago.

 It's just that he didn't expect that he would regret it so thoroughly.

　　It was not the Xuanyuan family who took away the fortune of Dayan Jiangshan, but himself.

 He destroyed the Xuanyuan clan and destroyed Dayan's most solid barrier.

Dayan became the meat on the chopping board, and even Xia Guo raised the butcher knife in his hand towards Dayan.

He thought countless times in his heart, if the Xuanyuan family were still there, who among you would dare to invade!

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 employers

He opened his mouth and spoke forcefully. He had just had a stroke, and his voice was low and unclear.

"Do you want me to keep Dayan?" Shangguan Yan said calmly, "I won't agree to it."

 “Xing, Ming…”

 What he said was, save your life and run away quickly.

Dayan is going to die.

 The direct princess of Dayan will not end well.

 Leave with the two children and never come back.

The King of Dayan looked in the direction of the door. The door was half open. From his angle, he couldn't see Xiao Heng's people. He could only see Xiao Heng's shadow on the ground.

He opened his mouth with difficulty, but in the end he did not call out the name.

-

Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng squatted on the ground. Xiao Heng broke a tree branch and drew a map of the Six Kingdoms.

Xiao Heng pointed at the map with a branch and said: "The Kingdom of Yan is in the middle, with the Icefield to the north and Chishui to the south. The western border is bordered by Jin and Liang, and these three countries form a corner."

Gu Jiao understood: "That's why Jin State wooed Liang State in the first place, in order to prevent Liang State and Yan State from becoming allies."

Xiao Heng nodded: "That's right."

 “Where is the east side?” Gu Jiao asked.

Xiao Heng pointed two small circles on the map with a tree branch and said: "To the east are Chen and Zhao, Chen is in the northeast, Zhao is in the southeast, Zhao is the farthest, and you have to go around Chen to reach it. "

Gu Jiao asked: "The Tianshan Pass that blocks the Jin State is guarded by the Han family, and the Yanmen Pass that blocks the Liang State is guarded by the Nangong family... What about the Chen and Zhao countries?"

Xiao Heng said: "Cangxue Pass is guarded by the Mu family's troops to prevent the Chen State's cavalry from invading; Chishui Pass is guarded by the Wang family's troops to prevent the Zhao State Navy from invading. If Zhao State wants to attack Yan State, the best way is to bypass it. Pass through Chen State and take Changping Pass in the Icefield, which is garrisoned by the local garrison."

Gu Jiao paused: "Zhao is the furthest away, and they didn't come so fast."

Xiao Heng looked at the map and said: "Judging from the distance and marching speed, the fastest are the armies of Jin and Liang, followed by Zhao's navy, and then Chen's cavalry."

Gu Jiao asked again: "Who leads the troops in Zhao Kingdom?"

Xiao Heng thought deeply: "To cross the Chishui River, we need a navy to **** us. If nothing else happens, it will be my father, Marquis Xuanping."

 Gu Jiao: “…”

 Is this a fight or not?

 “Where is Chen Guo?” Gu Jiao asked.

Xiao Heng thought for a while: "Although Chen Guo has not received any definite news, Chen Guo just suffered a defeat last year. In order to boost the morale of the army, Yuan Tang should go out in person."

As for who will lead the troops of Zhao State, Xiao Heng is not sure. He does not know Zhao State very well.

  But what is certain is that it is absolutely impossible for the Yan State to deal with the conquests of the five countries at the same time.

Gu Jiao asked curiously: "His Majesty Yuan Tang and Zhao Guo don't know that we are in Yan State. If they knew that they were fighting us...then would they still fight or not?"

Xiao Heng looked at her steadily: "You... want to go to war?"

Gu Jiao squatted on the ground and drew circles. She said nothing and said softly: "I am the commander of the Black Wind Battalion. I should be able to go into battle, right?"

 The commander of the Black Wind Cavalry can not do it at any time if he wants to.

Xiao Heng opened his mouth: "You..."

 “It’s not all about you and Jingkong.”

Gu Jiao understood what he wanted to say, and she looked up at the endless sky.

 “I just feel like I should do it.”

    It's a bit stuck, so please check it out in the afternoon for the second update.
