Bend Over [ 折腰 ] - Chapter 114

[Chapter 112]

Wei Shao’s army had now moved to Jingbian, where he had been hit by a poisoned crossbow the last time.

A month ago, after the Battle of Anding County, Liangzhou fell into Wei Shao’s hands.

Most of the Qiang tribes in Huangzhong also followed in the footsteps of the Beihe people.

Now only the Area of Guyuan occupied by the Qiang people remains.

Jingbian and Guyuan looked at each other from afar, and the last battle was about to erupt.

As long as the solid source is laid, the three places of Hezhou, Huangshui and Liangzhou can be completely connected into one. In the future, if you take care of the Western Qiang, cut off communication with the Xiongnu to the north, and hold the Pass of Liangzhou to the west, you can go south, and you can also retreat, plus Youzhou and Jizhou, half of the world, almost into Wei Shao’s pocket.

Gongsun Yang was also a little incredulous about the rapid progress made by Zhengxi.

Han Fei Ziyun, a good net,” leads him. Gongsun Yang realized very early that the “gang” in the Grand Plan of the Emperor Zhengxi was the Qiang people.

Originally, in his imagination, if he wanted to reach this point, it would take at least a year. After all, subduing the Qiang people and then defeating Feng Zhao are not easy things that can be achieved overnight.

I didn’t expect that once the luck was smoothed, the block could not be stopped. First, the Beihe tribe led most of the Qiang people in Huangshui to be successfully annexed, and then the Qiang soldiers in Feng Zhao’s army mutinied, and their combat effectiveness was sharply reduced, and after two major wars and several small battles, Liangzhou was completely surrendered.

The western expedition, which began with Wei Shao’s arrival in Jinyang at the beginning of the year, took only half a year.

Although the Qiang people were fierce, they had also attacked Shangjun several times when Wei Shao personally led a large army to fight with Feng Zhao, which brought a lot of pressure to the defenders, but they lost their side support and fought alone, and it was impossible to support it for a long time.

Laying down the solid source is only a matter of time.

All the soldiers under Wei Shao’s tent were extremely happy, everyone was thirsty for battle, looking forward to meritorious service, and the military’s heart was incomparably excited.

……

In the big tent of the commander-in-chief, a brief military meeting had just ended.

Wei Shao ordered that Li Chongzhang and Wei Liang would lead the three-way army to attack Andangqiang with all their might and take Guyuan completely.

The reason why he decided to launch an active battle against Guyuan so quickly, in addition to the purpose of using the yuwei of the Battle of Anding County, was also because last night, he caught an emissary sent by Xingxun to burn Dangqiang.

The emissary took a holy decree issued by Xingxun in the name of Emperor You, crowned Mo as the King of Jinqiang, and Ordered him to continue lobbying the Qiang people and jointly rebelling against Wei Shao.

Wei Shao killed the emissary and today ordered an all-out attack on Yaodangqiang.

……

From the beginning of the new year, when he did not rush to the Luoyang Imperial Palace to participate in the Zhengdan Pilgrimage, he vaguely announced the break between Youzhou and Luoyang.

To this day, Xingxun, who sits in Luoyang, will never continue to watch him sit further.

And Wei Shao, as a veritable northern hegemon, will truly open the first step in his grand hegemony: to challenge the supreme power of Luoyang.

This final battle against the Burning Tang Is a node in the inheritance of the past and the future.

The real shadow of war, which can stir up the world, is coming.

……

After a great battle, there were less than two thousand men and horses left, and finally they were surrounded by Wei Shao’s army in a deserted grass beach.

The rest were either dead or captured.

Eagle Mo stubbornly resisted, and several times tried to organize the last cavalry formation to rush out of the siege, but was blocked by the arrow array. The encirclement circle became smaller and smaller, and when he was at the end of the road, he was tried to kill himself with a knife, but he was bitterly discouraged by his subordinates.

It was a battle, the burning of the Qiang was defeated, the cavalry was completely destroyed, the Yuan Qi was seriously injured, and The eagle Mo was captured.

Three days later, Diao Mo accepted Gongsun Yang’s surrender and sent a letter of surrender to Wei Shao.

In his book of surrender, he said that the sin was his own, and had nothing to do with his people. Since he is lucky enough to have the grace of the prince, he is willing to lead the people of the clan to be attached, and he will not have two hearts.

At this time, Wei Shao had already embarked on the journey back to Jinyang.

After he received the letter from Little Joe more than half a month ago, he immediately replied with a letter and ordered the messenger to send it back.

She never replied.

Wei Shao felt a little nervous.

Finally, when the dust of the war settled, how could he still sit still? After losing the aftermath to Gongsun Yang, he embarked on the return journey back to Jinyang.

He was like an arrow in his heart, and the thing he wanted to do most now was to see her quickly.

……

On this evening at the end of July, Wei Shao rushed back to Jinyang.

As his horses made their way to the north of the city, they gradually slowed down.

Finally, Wei Shao stopped his horse, groaned for a moment by the side of the road, turned the horse’s head, and went in another direction.

……

Emperor Su’e’s head disease has not been good these days, and when he returned from the office that day, he could no longer go on the road and rested in the inn.

On the first day of her stay at the inn, the stagecoach learned of her identity through her entourage.

Lady Zuo Fengyi, this layer is just the widow of a dead han family with an empty name.

What really made Yi Cheng look at her differently was that she was related to Wei Shao, the new lord of Jinyang.

The day after she came, she went to visit Lady Yanhou, who lived in seclusion. After returning from a head attack, Lady Yanhou heard the news and specially sent a doctor to see her.

Visible relationships are truly extraordinary. Coupled with the generosity of Su’s hand, it is because in the past half a month, she stayed in the days of recuperation, and the service of Yi Cheng was thoughtful and thoughtful, and she was very highly regarded.

On the evening of this day, the coach hurried to the back hall, came to a clean and quiet room, and knocked on the door.

Emperor Su’e’s maid opened the door and showed her face, and Yi Cheng said, “Yan Hou is here!” At this moment, it is in the front hall, and the lady is invited to come over and talk.
When
Yi Cheng said this, his attitude was respectful and respectful.

Really didn’t think of it. This Lady Zuo Feng Yi was actually able to work for Yan Hou to come here in person, and it seemed that the friendship was indeed very good.

The maid asked the coach to come back in later, and repeated the words.

Emperor Su’e was lying on her side on the bed, with one arm and neck, her eyes closed, as if she were asleep. A maid knelt beside her and gently pounded her legs and feet for her.

She opened her eyes. Pressing down the accelerated heartbeat, he said, “Tell him to tell Yanhou that I have a head disease, can I invite Yanhou to come inside and talk?” The

maid went out to pass on the news, and Ru returned: “Yi Cheng said that he had already mentioned that his wife was recuperating here.” YanHou said that if his wife was too sick and weak to meet at this moment, he would come back another day. ”

Emperor Su’e said, “No.” Tell him to preach, and I’ll see him after a break. Yi

Cheng left, and Emperor Su’e quickly rolled over from the bed. Under the service of the maid, she changed into a thin silk shirt of aqua red that she had prepared many days ago, and a delicate orchid embroidered on the placket, lying obediently on her plump chest, which was extremely eye-catching. She wore a thin long belt around her waist and fell jade pendants. This dress fully shows the rich beauty of her body. She looked into the mirror and slightly stained her cheeks and lips with a light rouge, but instead of combing her hair, she slightly scattered a few strands of sideburns and hung them down, as if she had just risen from the brocade tent a moment ago, and had a little more lazy and weak state.

Emperor Su’e finally looked at herself in the glasses, and with the support of the two maids, she went out of the room.

She stepped into the hall and saw the back of a man standing in front of the wide open west window.

A dim red sunset shot obliquely through the window, enveloping the man, and a long figure was projected on the ground, making him more and more majestic.

He seemed to be looking into the distance, or thinking something out of his mind, and his back did not move.

Since three years ago, Emperor Su’e has begun to deliberately try to get close to the man she has abandoned again.

But only now did she really have the opportunity to meet him face to face like this again, with no one around.

Emperor Su’e took a deep breath and was about to open his mouth to call him, when Wei Shao had already turned around and walked quickly toward her, stopping in the middle of the room a few arms away from her, his eyes fell directly to her face, and said, “What happened to Madame’s body?” I had been away in Jinyang some time ago, and I received a letter from my wife, in which she mentioned madame, and I learned that madame had also arrived in Jinyang. His

tone was unusual. Emperor Su’e shook slightly.

She had imagined many kinds of encounters with Wei Shao, the opening scene when the two were alone.

But there is no one, it will be such a scenario.

In the middle was a “wife” in his mouth.

The news of his arrival was still transmitted to Wei Shao through the mouth of his “wife”.

In her heart, a feeling of discomfort as if she had been humiliated slowly poured out.

She stared at Wei Shao for a moment and said slowly, “My head disease, since I got married, has tormented me for many years, and whenever I am in a bad mood, I will have a seizure, and when I have a seizure, it is better to live than to die.” Asking for medicine from multiple parties is also ineffective. Later, I met a divine doctor, who gave me a prescription and told me to rub the pills according to the prescription and take the pills when I was sick, so that I could relieve the pain. I asked the divine doctor the cause of the disease, and the divine doctor said that this is a heart disease, and the medicine stone relieves the pain, but it cannot cure the root cause. Only when the heart disease is removed can it be cured. Wei Shao stared

at her, “So Madame should pay more attention to her daily cultivation and not be depressed in everything.” I came, but also want to ask the lady, how is the illness?
Emperor
Su’e was a little unsure of what he meant by this for a moment, hesitated, and said, “After resting for so many days, it is almost…”

Wei Shao nodded, “So very good.” Didn’t Madame say she was going to Luoyang? What about tomorrow? I will send someone here early tomorrow morning to escort my wife on the road to Luoyang.
Emperor
Su’e was stunned and said, “When Fang Cai Yi came to deliver the message, I was lying down, and I was weak and did not want to leave the house, but I heard that the prince was here, and Fang struggled to get up.” Tomorrow I’m afraid I still won’t be able to travel…”

Wei Shao nodded again, “It’s okay.” The lady was relieved to recover. When the day is good, ask someone to send a message to my wife, and then I will send someone to send my wife on the road. Madame is unwell, so let’s go back to the room. With

that, Wei Shao turned away.

Emperor Su’e fixed his back, and when he was about to step out of the door, he chased a few steps up and said in a dumb voice: “Erlang, you really didn’t ask at all, why did I abandon you and marry you?” Why did I fall ill again, even my voice was ruined? ”
