Your Majesty will suffer

In the city of Bianliang.

Moon on the West Building.The tree wants to be quiet, but the wind doesn't stop.

This time when Yang Zhen went to the north, he always lived up to his trust and brought back Master Jin's autographed letter!Naturally, it was a private letter with Yue Ling, so outsiders had no way of knowing what he said.

In the quiet night, leaning on the railing alone, facing the wind and looking north.Yang Zhen said that the place has long been frozen for thousands of miles, and the word "bitter cold" deserves its name, and it is not suitable for southerners!However, in this snowy and icy winter, someone wants to invite him to go north to talk about it!

It is not difficult to decide whether to go or not: at present, the two northwestern armies have joined forces to encircle Xiping Mansion, and the Qiang and Jie Diao are finally defending with elites. This must be a fierce battle!Xiping is the gateway to Xingqing, once it falls, the fall of Qiang and Jie is almost a foregone conclusion!However, whether he can stay until that day still depends on Jin Guo's face!

Although the garrison of Daliang Yuyouyan has been expanded and organized, it is really difficult to compete with Jin's 20 troops!And Hebei is empty, and there is no pawn to move in the northwest. If this game is to be played, Yu and Jin can only talk about peace!Therefore, when he wrote that letter, Yue Ling had already seen it!It's just that I never thought that that person would make such a request!

This is a big matter, but Yue Ling has no intention of teaching the court to know: there will be voices of opposition in the future, it is meaningless to ask or not to ask, and when the time comes, there will be an uproar in the court, and he is afraid of messing up his position.

Go, nature is dangerous!Heliu Zongmin has already broken his promise once, whether he can still trust him this time, Yue Ling has no idea; but if he doesn't go, he must decide to fight, this is a game with the lives of one hundred thousand soldiers and civilians in Hebei, even It's child's play!Defeated, mountains and rivers shattered, and people lost their lives, this was not his original intention of the Northern Expedition to Qiang Jie!Then, just go!Since Heliu Zongmin was able to come to the south in a dignified way back then, he can go north calmly as he gets older!

Besides, in the northwest at this moment, Xiping Mansion is not as easy to get as the previous cities. Qiang Jie seems to have decided to fight Liang Jun here to the death!It has been two months since the siege of the city, but they still failed to break through the city!It's freezing cold at the moment, and morale is already low. Seeing that it will be the end of the new year in two months, homesickness in the army may start to germinate at that time, and it will hurt morale on its own!Just when the ministers of the Northwest were worried about this, they suddenly heard a shocking news: the Son of Heaven is about to conquer the Northwest by himself, rewarding the three armies to boost morale!

Hearing this news, the army immediately burst into joy, and morale suddenly turned high. Before the imperial chariot arrived, the sound of Shan shouting long live resounded over the northwest sky!All the officers and men swore together: If you don't destroy Qiang Jie, you won't return!I only hope that the horse leather shrouds the body and dies after death, in order to repay the grace of heaven.

On the day when the imperial driver set out for the expedition, the weather was sunny and sunny.The people of Bianliang sent each other off along the road, and ten miles outside the city, the officials and the people stopped to say goodbye to the royal driver.

At the moment, Yue Ling looked back at Bianliang City: the towering city tower seems to be in the sky at this moment, and it is hard to reach!Mixed feelings at the moment: I don’t know when I will return once I go here!

The official road is flat, and the imperial chariot moves smoothly.Yue Ling changed into his normal clothes and lived in the warm car, feeling a little dizzy.The previous night, I didn't close my eyes. Although the affairs in Beijing have already been arranged properly, and Lu Zi is in charge of the overall situation, he has no worries. However, this trip is dangerous. The country has not yet been established, and the ministers are restless. From then on, it was decreed that the king of Yu would supervise the country. If anything happened, the prime minister would help the king of Yu to ascend the throne immediately!

Besides, before leaving, Lu Zi asked to make another decision: two days ago, a report from the middle of Shu was reported. Get sick!

Yue Ling was surprised when he heard that, he thought Mrs. Li was just a relapse of her old illness for a while, and there was nothing serious, she didn't want to pass away so soon!I can't help but sigh secretly in my heart that things are impermanent!I want to promise it.However, Lu Zi thinks that this return to Dechong is to make use of the topic and repeat the old tricks. The purpose is to prevent the son Nan Gongji from returning to Liang as a hostage, so please think again.

Yue Ling smiled bitterly: I don't know if it's good or bad to go, and Nangong Ji has always been at odds with King Yu, if something happens to me, then he stays in Beijing, so he has to resign himself to fate?

Lu Zi saw that the holy will had been decided, so he had no choice but to take a step back and asked De Chong's second son Nan Gongqing to temporarily enter Beijing as his brother's pawn.Yue Ling promised his request, and left a message: At present, the situation of the barbarians is uncertain, and the interruption of Shu cannot be unpredictable again. Therefore, once Nan Gongqing enters Beijing, he must treat him kindly and not easily make things difficult for him!Lu Zi took the order himself.

On the first day of the expedition, the imperial driver stopped after only [-] miles of travel. On the night of delivering the decree, there might be snowstorms and the road would be inconvenient, so he stopped on the spot.

Half the night was uneventful.Just after the third watch in the middle of the night, the back door of the post house was already open, and one person, surrounded by attendants, boarded the car in the dark and headed north!And leaving together, there are still fifty cavalry from the imperial guards.

After dawn, Yujia traveled westward as usual, but the speed was still slower than the previous day.

Speaking of the proposal of personal conquest, no one in the court agrees with it, even Lu Zi, who has repeatedly discouraged it!It's just that the emperor insists on going his own way, and the ministers have nothing to do, but who knows Yue Ling's difficulties: when the fierce battle in the northwest is in full swing, the emperor personally goes out to a foreign country to negotiate peace!If this matter spreads out, it will only shock the court, and it is even more likely to shake the morale of the army!So I had no choice but to go there under the guise of a personal conquest, just to avoid people, so as not to shock people's hearts!

The carriage was slightly bumpy, and Yue Ling gradually recovered from his contemplation.Lift the curtains, the cold wind is blowing outside the window, and the eastern morning sun has risen. Today, it should be sunny!Hurry up and reach Hebei within two or three days.

Going back to the north this time, the safety of the world is at stake, because no matter what hardships and dangers you have experienced, you will surely achieve your goal!

"You and I, even if there is parting in this life, this love will never be abandoned!" Indeed!Nangong Ji, between you and me, there must be a future.

At dusk, the Yanzhou City in the north was snowing again.

At the city gate, a person was pacing back and forth, looking forward to it from time to time, with a rather anxious expression.This person is none other than Zhang Fang, who moved to Youyun Road ahead of January to appease and recruit envoys, and who has the right to know Yanzhou!Two hours ago, he received an urgent report that the emperor will arrive in Yanzhou tonight, and the pick-up must be done in secret!

When he first received the report, he thought he had sent it to the wrong place: The Son of Heaven personally marched to the Northwest a few days ago. If there is no accident, he should have arrived at Hezhong Mansion by now.However, what he said was so convincing that it was not a joke at all, so he had to put aside his suspicions first, and hurriedly prepared to pick him up.

The snow is falling more and more urgently, and the road is gradually disappearing.

It's already the second drum, and Zhang Fang's heart slowly hangs: the road is not smooth in the snowy night, will it cause the driver to stop?If you can't reach Yanzhou City tonight, and it's freezing cold, is Yu Jia going to stay in the countryside?In a hurry, I was waiting to be taught how to prepare a horse. Suddenly, I heard the sound of horseshoes in the distance. They were coming from outside the city without any hurry.Going out of the city gate, after a short time, I saw dozens of riders surrounded by a train of horses coming, and stopped slowly at the foot of the city.

With the light of the flickering fire, one person came forward from the back, and bowed to the person waiting in front of the door: "Jun Fu, are you here all right?" It was Yang Zhen!

Zhang Fang smiled: "Wenqing, we have to meet again so soon!"

On a cold snowy night, the Yamen in Yanzhou was peaceful and quiet, except that tonight the guards seemed to be stricter than before, other places were no different.

In the middle of the night, in the courtyard that was so quiet that one could hear a needle drop, suddenly there was a crisp sound of falling objects!

In the side hall, Zhang Fang was clutching Yang Zhen's sleeve, with a look of disbelief, as if he didn't even notice that the tea was hot when the tea cup fell down just now!

"What are you talking about? You don't want to stop me when you want to go to Jin State for peace talks in person?!"

Yang Zhen looked indifferent: "The holy will has been decided, if Jun Fu thinks he can persuade you, why not give it a try!"

"You..." With a wave of his hand, he almost staggered, "The lord is worried about humiliation, I, Zhang Fang, would rather die in battle against Youyun than see the lord in distress and have to condescend and go deep into the wolf. Acupoint, test the danger yourself! Tomorrow morning, I will go in and persuade Shengjia to return!"

Yang Zhen stood on his own feet, and uttered a sentence: "Brother Zhang, do as you please!"

On the second day, the snow was still falling, and the royal driver stayed in Yanzhou temporarily, but he sent his former envoy to Jin to inform him that he would go north when the snow stopped.

Zhang Fang didn't know how stubborn he was today!Repeatedly advised, but with only one word from the superior, he swept his advice down the steps: "It is true that Qing can die in battle, but Youyun may be saved because of this? If so, I will return to Bianliang immediately!"

Indeed, in a war with Jin, even if Zhang Fang did not hesitate to die, even if You Yun's [-] defenders did not hesitate to die, what are the chances of winning?It was only at this time that Zhang Fang suddenly realized that Yang Zhen's attitude last night was not indifferent, but helpless.

It was snowing and the weather was clear, two days later, Yu Jia did not want to delay any longer, so he ordered to leave immediately.

Zhang Fang failed to persuade Shengjia to retreat, but he took a step back and asked to go north with him, but he still failed.

Yue Ling said: "Since Qing has vowed to stick to Youyun to the death, it is good to keep this promise with me!"

Zhang Fang had no choice but to obey, and recommended someone to accompany him to escort him, that is Li Hang, the coach of the capital of Yanzhou!It is said that this person is very skilled, has the courage to defeat a hundred with one, and is well aware of Jin's customs and customs.

In addition, Zhang Fang still asked another person to accompany him!Speaking of this person, even if he is more slender, he will recognize him, he is the old man Xuan!The purpose of teaching him to go north is twofold: one is that he is proficient in mechanism skills, which may be useful in an emergency; Whether the technology really has merit.

The sky is still considered beautiful. Since the sunrise from Yanzhou, passing through Shunzhou to Tanzhou, there has never been a scene of wind and snow!Arriving in Jin three days later, Jin Guo's pick-up envoy Lu Zhe Rongming, the right minister, was already waiting at the border!
