The Marquis Is Innocent

Yanzhou.

In just over a month, the old enemy Zhou Qun came first, and then Zhou Qun joined forces.

Yanzhou was attacked twice by the army.

Qiao Ping led Qiao Ci and a group of generals to form a private formation to fight with all their strength.

For the first time, Zhou Qun was repulsed and defeated.

Yanzhou's military and civilians just breathed a sigh of relief, and they didn't want Zhou Qun to rectify the troops again and mobilize troops to attack.

This time, he won the coalition troops, and his momentum was even greater than the previous time, and he went straight to Yanzhou's gateway to Juye.

At that time, Qiao Yue was very terrified, thinking that Yanzhou's decision would not be able to repel the intruder by luck like last time.

After discussing with counselor Zhang Pu and others, he proposed to follow the trend, submit a letter, and bow his head to Xingxun as a minister in exchange for peace.

Xing Xun proclaimed the emperor last year, established the name Jiang, and the edict has reached the world's Kyushu, ordering the princes from all over the world to stab the history for worship.

There were very few responders at the time.

The prefects of the world's princes, some are afraid of lewd power, some are judging the situation, and some have other plans.

So no one raised the flag to speak out against it. But no one is willing to openly answer the edict, lest they bear the reputation of a chaotic minister and thief.

Yanzhou is the same.

But the situation has developed rapidly, to this point.

Qiao Yue finally couldn't bear the pressure and made this decision.

Naturally, it was strongly opposed by Qiao Ping.

In Yanzhou, Qiao Ping now has more prestige than ever, and his family will listen to his orders more.

Qiao Yue couldn't argue, and he was told by Qiao Ping that he knew the green-eyed general in Lingbi, and the other party was willing to lead troops to come to the rescue.

Qiao Yue was dubious and could only reluctantly give up.

After several chaotic battles, finally just yesterday, not only was Zhou Qun's army completely defeated, but Zhou Qun himself was also killed in the chaos. It is expected that in the short term, Xing Xun should be unable to launch an attack on Yanzhou again.

Yanzhou military and civilians are all proud.

In terms of credit, the number one green-eyed general.

Among the thousands of troops and horses, if you enter and leave a place where no one is there.

The reason why Yanzhou's long-time enemy Zhou Qun was cut off from the giant field was also when he was defeated, he was intercepted by General Green Eye's troops and finally killed.

If he hadn't assisted him in this battle, it would have been impossible to achieve such a glorious victory.

Yanzhou military and civilians all spread the name of General Green Eyes on the battlefield, looking forward to seeing him triumphantly.

…

On the day that Qiao Ping and his son returned from Juye, they rode into the city and were welcomed by the people.

But not seeing the rumored green-eyed general walking with him, the people were a little disappointed.

Qiao Yue led people to welcome Qiao Ping's triumph in front of the mansion.

There was a smile on his face.

But the smile seemed to reveal a bit of reluctance.

After taking Qiao Ping into the mansion, Qiao Yue asked: "That green-eyed general, why didn't you enter the city with you today? I have heard about this person before, although he started as a refugee, his background is a bit low, but the so-called hero Regardless of the source, since Yanzhou received his help this time, I should also thank him personally."

Qiao Ping asked Qiao Yue to enter the study, screened back, and said, "I was just about to talk to my brother about this. To be honest, General Green Eye is not an outsider. My brother also knows him."

Qiao Yue was puzzled: "Who?"

"It's Bishe."

Qiao Yue didn't react at first, and looked puzzled: "Who is Bi She?"

He paused for a while, and suddenly, as if remembering, his eyes widened, revealing an unbelievable look: "You mean, the manubishu that lured my daughter back that day?"

Qiao Ping nodded: "Exactly."

Joe froze.

"Bi She is outside the city gate at the moment. He wants to see his brother, so he is guilty."

Seeing that Qiao Yue was silent, he persuaded: "My brother just said it himself, the hero does not ask the source. Bi She should not have taken my niece away from home privately, and the two became husband and wife without the permission of their parents, which has something to do with human etiquette. No. But he and his niece were in love with each other, and it was a helpless move at the time. What's more, now, my niece not only gave birth to a son, but also added a grandson to your eldest brother. Yanzhou is in danger. I hope the eldest brother will abandon his previous suspicions and accept him. This is the luck of my Qiao family and also the luck of Yanzhou!"

"He has helped Yanzhou several times?"

"In the past, Xue Tai attacked Yanzhou, and the two armies lined up in Juye. When Ci'er was in danger in front of the battle, he appeared in time to rescue him, and Ci'er was lucky to escape. I didn't know the benefactor at the time. It was Bi She. Later I found out that because it was inconvenient to make it clear, I didn't report it to my brother in time. I hope you don't blame your brother."

Joey felt a little disturbed.

This sudden news made him feel at a loss for a while.

The lowly manu who made him want to catch his bones and ashes every time he thinks about it that day, has now soared into the sky, transformed himself, and returned to him in the face of Yanzhou's benefactor.

From a rational point of view, he knew that what Qiao Ping said was reasonable.

Born in troubled times, help nature the more the better.

What's more, with Namanu's current strength, it is indeed worth winning.

But for him to accept such a man who was originally his own slave as his son-in-law, he felt extremely aggrieved.

Seeing that Qiao Ping seemed to have to persuade him again, he waved his hand in annoyance: "You must be tired, so go and rest first. Let me think about this again."

Qiao Ping knew that the news shocked him a lot, so he stopped persecuting and retired.

As soon as Qiao Ping left, Qiao Yue immediately called Zhang Pu, said what he had just learned, and frowned, "What do you think? This Bishe, do I recognize it or not?"

Zhang Pu was also surprised. After sighing a few words, he pondered for a while, and said, "I have something to say, I don't know if the lord will allow me to say it?"

"Say it!"

Zhang Pu opened the door and waited for a while. Seeing no one, he closed the door tightly. Fang turned around and said in a low voice, "In my opinion, this Bishe, the lord must not be introduced into Yanzhou!"

"how do I say this?"

"The lord is originally the lord of Yanzhou, and his status is respected. In the past two or three years, when talking about Yanzhou, everyone only knew the name of Qiaoping, the Duke of Dongjun County. Who mentioned the name of the lord? It is the people of Yanzhou. Seven or eight, whenever something happens, you must think of the princess first. The lord is benevolent, fraternal, and doesn’t care about the world’s reputation, but I am deeply worried about the lord. If this goes on, the lord is afraid that his position will not be guaranteed!”

Qiao Yue looked strange and said nothing.

"It's not that I'm overly concerned, but there are clues to follow. My lord, you should remember that when the lady went back to Dongjun, after she left, the lord ignored the lord's objection and recruited troops to buy horses. What do you mean? The lord said in front of the lord. It is to try to resist foreign aggression, but in my opinion, the meaning of the prince is far from being as simple as resisting foreign aggression. Now the effect has begun to show, and the prince has introduced Bi She back. I just heard the words of the lord, and it is not difficult to know, The Duke of Jun has had private contacts with Bi She for a long time. Although Bi She is called the son-in-law of the lord, he is actually a person of the Duke. Yanzhou already has a Duke of the county, and with the addition of Bi She, will the status of the lord be secure in the future? Lord, think twice!"

Zhang Pu's remarks hit the unspeakable heart disease that Qiao Yue had buried in his heart for the past few years.

Hearing this, a cold sweat broke out on his back: "Fortunately, I asked you! Otherwise, I would have almost led a wolf into the room! What you said is very true! Bi She is just a lowly horse slave, how can my Qiao family tolerate such a son-in-law! That daughter of mine, Abandoning my father and my ancestors, I have long since regarded her as gone, and my daughters gone, how can I be a son-in-law! It’s just…”

He stopped.

"Why is the lord frowning?" Zhang Pu watched from the sidelines.

"I thought that when my niece married Wei Shao, Yanzhou would be able to rely on it in the future. But I didn't expect that Wei Shao can't protect himself now, so how can we protect Yanzhou? My Qiao family and Xingxun have always been inseparable from each other. When Xing Xun proclaimed himself emperor, it was not my Yanzhou family who did not respond to the nine states in the world. He did not beat others, but drove Zhou Qun to attack Yanzhou alone. It must have been because my Qiao family and Wei Shao were married by marriage. My second brother was at that time. He refused to listen to my words and completely tore his face with Na Xingxun. Although he has won two battles by chance, it is impossible to keep Xing Xun in trouble in the future. If I don't accept Bishe at this time, Xing Xun will fight again in the future. If the offender comes, how should Yanzhou deal with it?”

He let out a long sigh: "When I got married with the Wei family, I wanted to rely on many things, but I don't want to be implicated now and cause trouble, but I'm in a dilemma!"

Zhang Pu said: "My lord is very concerned. After Xing Xun became emperor, he sent troops to conquer Wei Shao. Wei Shao was already at a disadvantage, not to mention that Xing Xun's success now is even more powerful. Although the two warring sides are stalemate on the old road of the Yellow River. , the result of the battle has not yet come out, but anyone with eyesight knows that Wei Shao's defeat is set, and now it's just the last bullet, and it's just a struggle!"

Qiao became more and more worried, unable to sit still, got up and walked around the room, sighing.

Zhang Pu was watching, and suddenly said, "My lord doesn't need to be so anxious. Now there is an opportunity to help lord reverse his disadvantage."

Qiao Yue stopped, turned his head and said, "What is the opportunity?"

Zhang Pu hurried to the front of the case, picked up a pen and wrote a few words.

Joe went over and glanced.

"Liu Yan?"

He was astonished.

"Exactly!" Zhang Pu nodded, "The son of Langya, who had been favored by the Qiao family in the past, has now been embraced by the world's nobles and ascended to the throne, and the lord must have heard of it."

Qiao Yue frowned: "Of course I know. But what about this? What does it have to do with me?"

Zhang Pu whispered: "To be honest, Liu Yan lived in Dongjun back then, and I was familiar with him. Just a few days ago, he sent a letter to me, asking me to pass it to the lord."

After that, under the surprised eyes of Qiao Yue, he took out a yellow silk book from his sleeve, respectfully, and presented it with both hands.

Qiao Yue hurriedly took it, unfolded and read it quickly.

For a moment, my thoughts were so surging that the fingers holding the letter and silk were shaking slightly.

Zhang Pu talked eloquently by the side: "Fortunately, Xun has a bad reputation, and he has arrogantly assumed the position of the emperor. If his name is not right, it will not go well. Sooner or later, the world will rise up and attack it. Wu Dengxun is all an important minister, Shuo Lao, famous public servant and Juqing. Wu You has a prefect who went to defect from various places. Even Yuan Zhe also made him emperor, and his troops were strong and horses. Zhiling. In the future, Kyushu will be divided into two parts. Fortunately, Xun Le Zheng Gong occupies the capital of Nii, and Liu Yan leads the world as an orthodox Han emperor. The lord has now offended Xing Xun because of Wei Shao, and there is no way to retreat. Liu Yan But I am grateful for the salvation, I personally wrote the royal book, the high officials and nobles are waiting for me. I just said that this is an opportunity, does the lord think I am wrong?"

Qiao Yue's eyes gradually glowed strangely, his hands behind his back, he walked back and forth in the room excitedly, suddenly remembered, stopped abruptly, and said hesitantly, "It's just that my second brother is there..."

"My lord forgot what I just said? Wei Shao is the son-in-law of the prince, and the prince has secretly pushed the prince. I'm afraid that he has long been willing to replace him. How can the prince expect the prince to work together with you?"

Qiao Yue's face was a little ugly. After a long while, Fang said: "As you know, the present is not what it used to be. If he doesn't nod his head, he may not be willing to listen to my instructions."

Zhang Pu said: "I have a plan to offer. The lord can drive away Bi She first, and the matter must be decided by the lord. Even if the prince is unwilling, he cannot refute it. After driving out Bi She, the lord can select his cronies, Taking advantage of the Duke's unpreparedness, he was restrained, declared to the public that the Duke was seriously ill and could not act as a director, and seized the military power in the hands of the Duke, then Yanzhou would return to the Lord's ownership. At that time, whether the wind or the rain will be the Lord's final decision?"

Joey hesitated.

"Master! Kindness is not in charge of soldiers, and poisonous is not husband! Hasn't the lord learned the lesson of being merciful and soft-hearted, so that his position is not guaranteed? Wei Shao will lose this battle! Fortunately, once Wei Shao is defeated, the spear will be directed at Yanzhou. If the lord hesitates any more and misses the opportunity of Liu Yan's protection, he is afraid that the century-old foundation of Yanzhou will be ruined! Besides, the lord does not want to take the life of the county, but to restrain him, why is the lord undecided?"

Qiao Yue shuddered, gritted his teeth, made up his mind, nodded and said, "Just do as you say!"

Zhang Pu was overjoyed and knelt down: "My lord is wise! Liu Yan is brilliant and brilliant, and the world belongs to his heart, and he will definitely be the leader of the rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty. The lord holds the power of support, and the glory and wealth are at your fingertips!"

…

New March, the crescent moon is like a hook.

Above the endless plains of Muye, the spring cold is still sharp, covering the thick snow of a long winter, but it has not completely melted.

But between the stone crevices and the rock crevices, the moss has quietly turned green.

The wind reverberated day and night in the wilderness, singing, and it seemed that it no longer had a biting chill. If you closed your eyes, you might still be able to smell a little spring breeze.

This spring in Makino, although late, has finally arrived.

Just a few days after Le Zhenggong's retreat, Xing Xun, who had been in a confrontation with Wei Shao for several months, could no longer hold back. The enemy camp on the opposite side launched a full-scale attack.

Wei Shao's entire army, already armed and armed, was ready to fight.

The horns made a low and trembling long horn sound.

A battle destined to bleed on the floating hills kicked off.

The battle went on and on for three days.

More than a thousand years ago, on this land called Muye, there was a war that also eclipsed the sky and the sun and the moon.

After that war, some people, in the name of a generation of sages, created a prosperous world for 800 years and won a glorious reputation.

Someone made a sad curtain call from the history books in a disgraceful way.

Humanity is a success, and ten thousand bones are withered, how about seeking the country, the mountains, the mountains, the ten thousand miles of rivers and mountains?

The warrior spirits buried in the ground that have been sleeping for more than a thousand years seem to have been awakened again by blood and halberds, groaning, screaming, and breaking out of the dark world.

The dragon fights in the wild, and its blood is dark yellow.

The wind and clouds roared, and the gods and ghosts wept.

The sergeants fought hard and drank blood.

Flesh is no longer flesh.

The only thought left was to have red eyes, covered in blood, in charge of swords, spears, swords, and halberds, driving a rolling chariot, and following the banner ahead.

Kill, kill, kill!

…

Le Zhenggong led the army, crossed the thawed Yellow River by boat and bridge, and then hurried day and night, wishing that he could rush back to Liangzhou with two wings on his side.

On this day's march, they were finally about to reach Mount Hua, but gradually they felt that something was wrong.

Along the way, there was no trace left by the march of the army.

Ask passers-by in the village market town, and they are also at a loss to know that a large army has recently passed by.

Le Zhenggong hesitated. At this time, the pioneer scouts sent in front finally returned quickly, and another news report from his eldest son Le Zhengkai came.

The eldest son said that after the previous intelligence investigation, it was finally proved that it was not a false alarm. Yang Xin and Guo Quantong led only 5,000 troops, and when they reached the pass, they bluffed and pretended to attack. A few days ago, he was defeated by the army led by his son, and it was not enough. I asked my father not to return to the army, but to concentrate on attacking Wei Shao.

Le Zhenggong was stunned.

As soon as he turned around, he immediately ordered someone to pass on Rongyan.

However, he was told that Rong Yan had disappeared.

Le Zhenggong finally realized that he was fooled, and immediately ordered to turn around and quickly returned to Muye.

But it was all too late.

Three days later, while he was still on his way to the Yellow River, he received a heartbreaking and unspeakable news: Sanyueshuo, Wei Shaoyu Muye, defeated Xingxun.

…

At the end of last year, when Xing Xun crossed the Yellow River to start the Northern Expedition, he led a mighty 500,000 troops.

The battle of Muye was wiped out.

When he fled back to Luoyang, the remaining soldiers were less than 100,000.

The remaining men were killed or wounded, scattered, or surrendered.

Wei Shao won.

Not only did he win Emperor Jiang, but he also won Le Zhenggong.

Le Zhenggong sat on the back of Huang Pyu's BMW, his eyes widened, and he faced the direction of Muye in the Yellow River North, without making a sound for a long time.

People seem to be solidified into stone statues.

His son, Le Zhengjun, knelt in front of his horse with a group of generals, feeling uneasy.

Le Zhengjun had never seen his father show such a strange expression in his life.

Like sadness, resentment, crying, and laughing.

Even if he suffered a big defeat in the past, he would never be so embarrassed as he is now.

"Father-"

He called out tentatively.

Le Zhenggong finally recovered.

He withdrew his gaze from Bei Tiao.

"Return to Hanzhong."

He gave an order in a calm tone. Then he turned the horse's head and slowly let the horse go forward.

After walking more than ten steps, he suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood and fell off the horse's back, causing the person to faint on the spot.

…

In the late spring of Yuyang, the wind is gentle and the grass grows and the warbler flies.

All things flourish.

Early in the morning, when the first rays of the rising sun shone through the window of the delivery room, Xiao Qiao gave birth to a crisp cry of the baby falling to the ground.

…

In November last year, Wei Shao sent troops to the Yellow River. Soon after Xiao Qiao's fetus was stabilized, he returned to Yuyang safely.

During the period of childbirth, she also gradually learned about Wei Shao's battles along the Yellow River. Mrs. Xu would never hide anything because she was pregnant. Whether the news is good or bad.

Since her man is destined to not be willing to be ordinary, as his wife, he must always be prepared to bear the consequences of good or bad.

Although Mrs. Xu didn't tell her that, Xiao Qiao understood this.

This should be the wisdom the old woman had gained from her half-life experience.

Xiao Qiao is also very grateful for this.

Because she wants to know too.

For the first time in his life, he and the child in his womb, as if accompanying Wei Shao, experienced this extraordinary and long war together.

From the beginning of the disadvantage, it was reversed step by step, until finally, the soldiers finally pointed to Luoyang.

After Luoyang was captured, Wei Shao would be able to return.

When he came back, the one who greeted him was their daughter who had already come into the world.

…

Mrs. Xu carefully took the small soft body wrapped in swaddles from the midwife's hand, and stared at her small face with her eyes tightly closed for a long time.

Although she was just separated from her mother's body, she already had long eyelashes, jet-black fetal hair, and her tender skin glowed with the luster of beautiful jade under the sunlight.

"What a lovely, beautiful child!"

Mrs. Xu hugged her and whispered happily, her voice exuding joy and joy from her heart.

"In ancient Huoshan, there was a spirit beast named Philip. It would be worrying to raise it. Let's call this child Philip."

Madam Xu smiled at Xiao Qiao.
