Bend Over [ 折腰 ] - Chapter 114

[Chapter 112]

Wei Shao’s army has now moved to Jingbian where he was attacked by the poison crossbow 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 followed in the footsteps of the Beihe tribe.

Now only the Guyuan area occupied by the Qiang people remains.

Jingbian and Guyuan looked into the distance, the final battle was about to break out.

As long as Guyuan is established, the three places of Bingzhou, Huangshui and Liangzhou can be completely connected into one. In the future, I will take care of the Xiqiang, cut off the communication with the Xiongnu to the north, and hold the pass of Liangzhou to the west. If you enter, you can go south, and you can retreat. You can also defend it. With Youzhou and Jizhou, half of the world will be in Wei Shao’s pocket. .

Gongsun Yang also felt a little unbelievable about the rapid progress made by the expedition to the west.

Han Fei Ziyun, who is good at opening nets, cited his outline. Gongsun Yang realized very early that the “gang” in the grand plan of Junhou’s expedition to the west was the Qiang people.

Originally, in his vision, it would take at least a year to reach this stage. After all, subduing the Qiang people and then defeating Feng Zhao was not an easy task that could be accomplished overnight.

Unexpectedly, once luck is smooth, it can’t be stopped. First, the Beihe tribe led most of the Qiang tribes in Huangshui to surrender smoothly, and then the Qiang soldiers in Feng Zhao’s army mutinied, and their combat effectiveness dropped sharply. After two major battles, they completely surrendered Liangzhou.

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 are fierce and fierce, when Wei Shao personally led the army to fight against Feng Zhao, he also attacked Shangjun several times, which brought a lot of pressure to the defenders, but without support, fighting alone, it was impossible to last for a long time. .

It is only a matter of time before the solid source is laid.

All the soldiers and soldiers under Wei Shao’s account were extremely happy, everyone was eager to fight, looking forward to making contributions, and the military spirit was extremely excited.

…

In the big tent of the head coach, a brief military meeting has just ended.

Wei Shao ordered that Li Chong, Zhang Jian, Wei Liang and the three lead the three-way army to attack Dangqiang with all their strength, and take Guyuan completely.

The reason why they decided to launch an active battle against Guyuan so quickly was not only to use the remnants of the battle at Anding County to get a boost, but also because last night, they caught a messenger who was sent by Xing Xun to burn as Qiang.

The messenger brought an imperial decree issued by Xing Xun in the name of the young emperor, and enshrined Diaomo as the king of Jin Qiang.

Wei Shao killed the messenger, and today ordered a full-scale attack on Burning Dangqiang.

…

From the first day of the first day of the year, before he rushed to the Luoyang Palace to participate in the Zhengdan celebration, he had faintly announced the break between Youzhou and Luoyang.

And to this day, Xing Xun, who sits in Luoyang, will never continue to watch him grow further.

And Wei Shao, as a veritable northern hegemon, will really start the first step of his grand hegemony: challenging the supreme power of Luoyang.

The last battle against Burning Dangqiang is a link between the past and the future.

The real shadow of war, which is enough to disrupt the general trend of the world, is coming.

…

Diaomo and his Qiang soldiers, with less than 2,000 men left after a major battle, were finally surrounded by Wei Shao’s army in a barren grassy beach.

The rest are either dead or captured.

Diao Mo resisted stubbornly, and tried to organize the last cavalry formation to break out of the encirclement several times, but was blocked by the arrow formation. The encirclement became smaller and smaller, until the end of the road, when he wanted to kill himself, he was discouraged by his subordinates.

In the battle, the Qiang was defeated, the entire cavalry was annihilated, the vitality was severely damaged, and Diaomo was captured.

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

In the book of surrender, he said that the sin was on himself, and he had nothing to do with his family. Since I was lucky enough to be forgiven by the prince, I would like the people who lead the family to join me, and I 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 Xiao Qiao 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.

How can he still sit still when the dust of the war is finally settled? After throwing the aftermath to Gongsun Yang, he set foot on his way back to Jinyang.

His heart was like an arrow, and the thing he wanted to do most now was to see her as soon as possible.

…

Wei Shao rushed back to Jinyang in the evening at the end of July.

When his horses went to the city north government office, the speed gradually slowed down.

In the end, Wei Shao stopped the horse, pondered for a moment beside the road, turned the horse’s head, and went in the other direction.

…

Su Ehuang’s head ailment hasn’t gotten better these days. When he came back from the ya office that day, he couldn’t go on the road anymore, and he stayed in the post house all the time.

On the first day she stayed in the post house, the post chief knew her identity through the mouth of her entourage.

Mrs. Zuo Fengyi Gong, this floor is nothing, but she is the widow of a dead Han family clan with no name.

What really makes Yicheng look different is that she is close to Wei Shao, the new master of Jinyang, because of her kinship.

The next day she came, she went to visit the reclusive Madam Yanhou. After she came back, she had a headache, and Mrs. Yan Hou heard the news and sent a doctor to see her.

It can be seen that the relationship is indeed extraordinary. In addition, Su Shi’s actions were generous, so in the past half a month, when she stayed and recuperated, the Yicheng served her thoughtfully, and regarded her very highly.

In the evening of that day, Yi Cheng 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, revealing her face, and the postman said, “Marquis Yan is here! I’m in the front hall at the moment, please come over and talk.” When the postman

said this, his attitude was respectful. .

I really didn’t expect it. This Mrs. Zuo Fengyi was actually able to work for Yanhou Dajia to come here in person. It seems that the friendship is indeed very good.

The maid asked the postmaster to wait later, turned back inside, and repeated the words.

Su Ehuang was lying on the side of the bed, with one arm supporting his neck, eyes closed, as if falling asleep. A maid knelt by her side and lightly beat her legs and feet.

She opened her eyes. He tried his best to suppress his accelerated heartbeat, and said, “Tell him to tell Marquis Yan that I have a headache. Can you invite Marquis Yan to talk?” The

maid went out to spread the word, and then she returned, “Yicheng said that he was the only one who did it just now. I have already mentioned that my wife is recovering here. Marquis Yan said that if my wife is too sick to meet at this moment, he will come back another day.”

Huang Su E said: “No need. Tell him to pass the word, and I will go to see you after a while. ” After the

postman left, Su Ehuang quickly turned over from the couch. Under the service of the maid, she changed into a thin water-red silk shirt that she had prepared many days ago. A delicate cymbidium embroidered on the front of her neck was obediently lying on her plump chest, which caught people’s eyes. A long thin belt was tied around her waist, and a jade pendant was hanging down. This dress completely showed the mature beauty of her figure. She looked into the mirror and dyed a light layer of rouge on her cheeks and lips, but instead of combing her hair, she slightly loosened a few strands of hair on the temples and hung them down, as if she had just left the quilt a moment ago. A bit lazy and sickly.

Su Ehuang finally took a look at herself in the glasses, and with the support of the two maids left and right, she went out of the room.

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

A dim red sunset slanted in from the window, shrouded the man, and projected a long figure on the ground, making him more and more stalwart.

He seemed to be looking into the distance, or thinking about something in a trance, his back didn’t move at all.

Since three years ago, Su Ehuang has been deliberately trying to get close to the man she once abandoned.

But until now, she really had the chance to meet him face to face again like this, with no one nearby.

Su Ehuang took a deep breath and was about to open his mouth to call him when Wei Shao had turned around and walked towards her quickly, stopped in the middle of the room a few arms away from her, and his eyes fell directly on her face He said, “How is Madam’s health? I haven’t been in Jinyang a while ago, and I received a letter from my wife. She mentioned Madam in the letter, and I found out that Madam also came to Jinyang.”

His tone was very ordinary . . Su E Huang was slightly startled.

She had imagined many kinds of openings when she met Wei Shao and the two were alone.

But there is no such situation.

A “wife” in his mouth was inserted in the middle.

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

In her heart, a sense of discomfort like being humiliated slowly poured out.

She stared at Wei Shao for a moment, then said slowly, “My head disease has tormented me for many years since I got married. Whenever I am in a bad mood, I will have an attack. When I have an attack, life is better than death. It didn’t work. Later, I met a genius doctor, who gave me a prescription, told me to take the pills according to the prescription, and take the pills when I was sick, so that I could relieve pain. I asked the genius doctor about the cause, and the genius 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: “In this way, Madam should pay more attention to the maintenance of nature on weekdays, and don’t worry about everything. I also wanted to ask Madam how she is recovering from the disease. ?”

Huang Su E was a little unsure of what he meant by asking this, and hesitated for a while, then said, “It’s almost the same after taking a break for so many days…”

Wei Shao nodded: “That’s very good. Didn’t Madam want to go to Luoyang? How about tomorrow? I will send someone here early tomorrow to escort my wife to Luoyang.”

Su Ehuang was stunned for a moment, and said, “I was lying down when Caiyi Cheng came to spread the word. I was weak and didn’t want to leave the room. I just heard that the prince was here, and Fang struggled to get up. I’m afraid I still won’t be able to go out tomorrow… Wei Shao nodded again: ”

That’s fine. That Madam recuperates in peace. When the day gets better, I will send someone a message to my wife, and then I will send someone to escort Madam on the road. Madam is not feeling well, so let’s go back to the room.” .”

After saying that, Wei Shao turned around and left.

Su E Huang fixedly looked at his back, and when he was about to step out of the room, he chased a few steps up and said dumbly: “Erlang, you really didn’t ask at all, why did I abandon you and marry another? Why am I having a headache, and even my voice is ruined?”
