Cultivation: I can reincarnate in the heavens
112. The princess of the subjugated country comes to see His Majesty
…
…
Half a month before the army went south, Li Xiaozu scorned the words of his father Li Liang, thinking that Li Liang was old and had no ambition. He was content with the imperial court in Siming Mountain and did not dare to covet the power in the pass.
Just wait until he fights fiercely on Yanshan Road...
He regretted it.
The officers and soldiers of the imperial court did not engage in direct combat with him, but only defended the city and cleared the country. Although Yanshan Road and Luonan Road are both plains, and the cavalry can gallop all the way, the cities on the back roads have not been attacked. Once they advance rashly, they are likely to be dumped by the imperial army...
Moreover, the food and fodder for the life-defying army... are gradually becoming unsustainable.
In particular, several of the adopted sons of the Prince of Zhenbei who were crowned kings secretly received imperial decrees of rewards from the imperial court, without any notice to him. In recent days, the military front has suffered setbacks, and the soldiers have begun to return to the outside world.
"Your Majesty, I told you earlier."
"Siming Mountain is different from the previous dynasties. It is a hard nut that cannot be bitten. Now Emperor Tiande's intention is obvious. He is using the power of the whole country to consume us and kill us cavalry."
"People eat horse chews. In a few days, it will be autumn and winter. The court has not given us new cotton clothes. Although we can use last year's ones, but..."
In the army commander's tent, Li Yong, the adopted son of Zhenbei King who was granted the title of King of Luzhou, complained.
In fact, Li Xiaozu chose a good time to go south. It was the autumn harvest, so he could use war to support war and rob the people of Yanbei Road of food.
but--
Who knew that the organizational capabilities of the previous dynasty and the current one were not at the same level at all.
At first, they also robbed grain from one or two states. But later on, the people's food had long been harvested by the imperial court, which sent troops to unite with the common people. The imperial court even forced the common people to move inland, leaving only the cities standing in the Yanbei Plain...
"You can buy some food from the Tatars."
"He Shuoduo is now sitting back and watching us fight with the imperial court, hoping to reap the benefits. Our army is short of food and will return outside the customs. The Tatars will definitely not want to see this."
Putting his hand on the brazier to warm up the fire, Li Xiaozu made a suggestion.
He is not a pedantic person.
Sending his wife to the Tatar Thang Long Mansion as a pledge cannot be compared with asking the Tatars to buy grain. Buying grain is not a stain.
"As I see it..."
"Could the person who assassinated the prince not be Emperor Tiande?"
"How could the heroic Emperor Tian De do such a despicable thing?"
In the tent, Li Dan, who was named the king of the school state by Xu Xing, flashed his eyes and seemed to say such words unintentionally.
The imperial court has secretly sent an imperial envoy to bribe him.
As long as he is willing to switch sides, although the territory of the former Zhenbei King cannot be given to him, he can still move his tribe to other places and break the soil to become the king.
Of course, he, Li Dan, would not believe the court's lies. All wills are false, only real soldiers and horses are in hand.
It's just... At this time, the crown prince Li Xiaozu is no longer able to suppress the army, and it is not far away that the army will fall apart. As long as he obtains the support of the court, he can get a share of the cake of King Zhenbei's legacy. The biggest portion….
At this moment, he deliberately said that the assassin who assassinated Li Liang was not sent by Emperor Tiande. It is intended to criticize the "righteousness" of the life-seeking army who went south to beg for life. Once this "great cause" fails, the crown prince Li Xiaozu will bear the greatest responsibility, and his prestige will surely plummet.
Without his prestige, Li Xiaozu would not be able to command the entire army.
His wishful thinking was very good.
"I saw the assassin with my own eyes. How can this be false?"
"Could it be that... I killed my father?"
Li Xiaozu glared at Li Dan coldly, and saw that his questioning momentum suddenly dropped. He remained silent, and his tone became softer, "In the world, the only person in the world who intends to kill my father is the one in the world." There are many De Emperors and He Shuo. And that assassin is obviously an assassin from the Central Plains, a monk from Xuanji Temple..."
In order to follow the dragon, Xuanji Temple sent eight hundred stick monks to follow Emperor Tiande, which was famous all over the world.
Since it was a monk from Xuanji Temple who assassinated Zhenbei King Li Liang, there is no doubt that the person sent at this moment was Emperor Tiande.
And the Heshuoduo in his mouth is the emperor of the Tatars.
"Xuanme: General..."
"The armies reorganized their troops and headed south to Shenjing to fight to the death with Emperor Tiande."
"It can't be delayed any longer."
Li Xiaozu saw that the only chance to win now was to follow what Xu Xing did in the past. As long as he took down Shenjing and cut off the court's orthodoxy, the remaining local forces could be slowly eliminated.
If the army retreats, his prestige will be completely lost.
At that time, let alone maintaining the private property of the Li family, it will be difficult to just save the lives of the whole family.
One step back, one step back!
But if... the soldiers make dangerous moves, they may not be unable to win.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The Prince of Zhenbei's adopted son in several handsome tents made eye contact, and they all understood their respective plans. They remained calm on the surface and chose to follow Li Xiaozu's military orders.
but--
After leaving the handsome tent.
"Tie up Princess Anren first..."
"Then... I sent orders to all the armies. Princess Anren seduced the crown prince and went south to attack the imperial court. This was all the result of Princess Anren, the subjugated princess. She wanted to sacrifice the lives of our soldiers in order to avenge her imperial father."
With Xu Xing's previous imperial edict, these generals knew what they should do and could escape the court's investigation. How can he swallow up the military power left by his adoptive father Li Liang?
As long as it is true that the crown prince Li Xiaozu was bewitched by Princess Anren...
Is Qi'an qualified to lead the army again?
Previously, Li Xiaozu informed them to avenge the king of Zhenbei. It was true that they supported him and went south to seek justice from the court. Li Liang, the king of Zhenbei, had been kind to them in raising them, and he had to repay this kindness. But when the soldiers were frustrated and had no chance of victory, what they were thinking about now was not how to take revenge, but how to protect themselves and cut off more flesh on the sinking ship of Zhenbei Palace...
The imperial court has handed them the righteousness and the sword, so they just do it.
…
In the middle of the night, Li Xiaozu was about to fall asleep.
"It's not good, it's not good, the prince and the princess were kidnapped by Li Yong and others and sent to Shenjing."
"Li Yong and the others said that the princess is a disaster because of beauty. It was the princess who bewitched you..."
The general hurriedly rushed into the commander's tent, woke up Li Xiaozu who was sleeping soundly, and told him everything that happened in the middle of the night.
After the death of Zhenbei King Li Liang, Li Xiaozu inherited the title of king himself.
It's just that these adopted sons of King Zhenbei did not obey Li Xiaozu, so they always called Li Xiaozu the crown prince instead of the prince.
"What?"
"How dare they be so bold?"
When Li Xiaozu was sleeping, Jiawei was still there. He was so angry that he picked up the Guandao hanging on the weapon rack and said to his general: "Quickly gather your troops and follow me to recapture the princess."
Once the princess is sent to Shenjing...
He couldn't imagine how he should deal with it.
What a shame!
But when he just left the barracks, Li Yong, Li Dan and others were already waiting for him outside.
During the night, several people and horses faced each other.
Li Xiaozu was not alone. He was the most powerful among the army and had his own troops. It's just that the combined troops of the other righteous sons of Zhenbei King are superior to him.
"Commander..."
"My subordinates have followed your instructions and sent the temptress Princess Anren to the capital. Emperor Tiande has issued an imperial edict. As long as you send Princess Anren, a bewitching woman, to the capital, we and the other soldiers will not be blamed."
"Thank you, Commander, for thinking of us and other soldiers."
Li Yong looked at a personal guard next to him, who immediately shouted these words at the top of his voice.
As soon as the princess leaves, Li Xiaozu will have to admit it even if he doesn't admit it.
If you don’t admit it.
Today is a mutiny.
If you admit it...
We are still good brothers and we go back to the border together.
"you……"
Li Xiaozu, who was dressed in silver armor, looked gloomy.
He never expected that retribution would be unpleasant. Half a month ago, he forced his father, Li Liang, into the palace. Today, the generals of the life-defying army began to force him to have his wife.
"The slow pace of dog days..."
"You are so treacherous as a mother..."
Li Xiaozu gritted his teeth and hated Xu Xing who had given the order.
If it were to "kill him", the generals of the ordering army would never dare to take such a serious action, but if all these crimes were blamed on a woman. Even though this woman is a princess, women are like clothes. For the sake of the survival of brothers, stripping off a woman's clothes is not too much at all.
To exchange the life and death of a woman for the survival of these cavalry outside the customs...
Not a good deal?
Although the generals knew that the imperial court was using a trick, sacrificing a woman would have no impact on their entire army, so why not give it a try.
The generals would never have dared to think like this when the life-seeking army had just moved south.
But now Li Xiaozu made a mistake in his decision-making and led his army to death. His prestige was not as good as before. The generals had evil intentions. He should have expected this...
"What if I don't think about you?"
Li Xiaozu's face turned grim, "Are you going to kill me, the king of Zhenbei? Take away the foundation of my Li family? When my father raised you for many years, is this how you repay your father's kindness? You are no better than a pig or a dog. Even the beasts are stronger than you."
Even though he knew the benefits of being patient for a while.
But he is not a politician.
He had already given up on going south to attack the imperial court.
In addition, if he really wanted to comply with the wishes of these generals, he would not be able to please them. A coach who can't even keep his own woman has any qualifications to command troops. Who can obey him in the future?
"what to do……"
"Li Xiaozu wants to fight us to the death."
The few Zhenbei Wang Yizi who were facing each other were a little confused in their speech.
Once Li Xiaozu has an internal conflict with them... even though they have many troops, they may be able to win the final victory. But in the eyes of the imperial court, the life-seeking army that had finished fighting among themselves didn't have much value.
"Whose bad idea..."
"Send Princess Anren to Shenjing..."
"It's okay now. Li Xiaozu doesn't intend to bear this breath."
One of the adopted sons cursed.
…
Fengxi Country.
Shenjing, the imperial palace.
"Your Majesty, the Queen is here to bring you some snacks."
In the side hall of Yangxin Hall, Xu Xing was reading the battle reports from the front line when he heard the eunuch knocking on the door and whispering to him.
"Yunniang?"
Xu Xing put down the memorial and said, "Let her in."
Since he proclaimed himself emperor, he also brought Zhao Yunniang, mother and son, who were in the Xingtian Palace in Kansai Province, to the palace. Zhao Yunniang was canonized as queen by him, and his youngest son Xu Zhang was made prince.
According to what the Immortal Sect said, under the shelter of the Human King, the Siming Mountain Kingdom Zuo can enjoy three hundred years.
And within these three hundred years, it will also be good for the human king.
Just like Song Dao condenses Dao Dan, you can choose a first-grade Dragon and Tiger Dao Dan to condense. The dragon veins of Fengxi Kingdom can provide Song Dao with a steady stream of dragon luck. Song Dao only needs to find a portion of the white tiger's divine blood...
This is one of the reasons why the sect values the human-king body.
If you want to condense other Dao pills to the first level, you will consume countless rare treasures.
"These are some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and jujube cakes that I made myself..."
"Your Majesty, you can have a taste."
Zhao Yunniang walked in with a food basket and placed the dishes of snacks on Xu Xing's bookcase. She behaves dignifiedly, wears a phoenix robe, and has a golden walking stick on her temples. She looks very noble.
"You are serious..."
After the eunuch tasted it, Xu Xing randomly picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and stuffed it into his mouth. A strong scent of osmanthus mixed with the faint fragrance of milk rushed to his nose, and the pastry was soft in his mouth. He nodded and praised.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."
Zhao Yunniang bowed slightly to Xu Xing, walked around behind Xu Xing, and began to massage Xu Xing's head and shoulders with catkins. Her movements were gentle and graceful.
At first, when she became the head wife of King Xingtian, she felt a little uneasy, thinking that her humble status made it difficult for her to reach the level of elegance. But Xu Xing still registered her despite everyone's objections.
Now she is the queen again….
Even though Xu Zhang, Xu Xing's eldest son, was here, she was still panicking inside.
After a while.
: A eunuch came to report outside the door, "Your Majesty, Li Yong, the life-seeking army, kidnapped Princess Anren last night and sent her to Shenjing. Your Majesty, would you like to see her..."
"Princess Anren?"
Zhao Yunniang was shocked and looked up outside the palace.
She only knew that there was a war taking place outside the capital, but she did not know about several imperial edicts issued by Xu Xing to the generals of the rebel army. She didn't dare to ask too much about these things, lest Xu Xing think that her harem was involved in politics.
"It is rumored that Princess Anren's beauty has captivated the country and the city..."
"This time, beauty has become a disaster."
"When I was in prison, I had a close relationship with Princess Anren. Today I'm going to have a feast for my eyes."
Xu Xing took another bite of pastry and said in anticipation.
The last time Princess Anren was sent to Shenjing by Zhenbei King Li Liang as a hostage, he was curious to meet her. I wonder what Princess Anren will look like when she sees him, the enemy who killed her father and brother.
"Princess Xuan Anren came to the palace to pay an audience..."
The gatekeeper eunuch received the order, ran outside the palace gate, and shouted to a carriage parked at the entrance of Zhuque in the imperial city.
It doesn't take even a moment.
Wearing filial piety clothes and neatly dressed, Song Yuyao walked carefully to the Yangxin Hall.
She lowered her head, and her graceful figure, dressed in mourning clothes, was touching. When he walked into the palace, he raised his sad face, which made people even more pitiful.
"The subjugated princess Song Yuyao has met Your Majesty."
Concubine of the Song Dynasty gave a small blessing.
Last night, after a rough night, the child in her belly had been miscarried. If she hadn't entered Shenjing in time and received treatment from the imperial doctor, she might have died by now.
This moment.
As Song Yunuo lowered her head, Zhao Yuniang, who was accompanying the king, had some tears in her eyes. At this moment, she actually felt that her death was worth it.
