Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "I came here this time to ask Brother Fanqi's own opinion, if Brother Fanqi wants to go back, I will never stop him, if Brother Fanqi wants to stay, I will applaud and welcome him." ” Chang Fanqi sighed and said: "The world is so big, where is there a place for me Chang Fanqi."
If you are really willing to let our mother and son go, can you allow us to leave Dongliang County, I can promise you that I will not be with you again, just to be able to take care of my mother and enjoy her old age in peace.
"After the battle of Dongluocang, Chang Fanqi had no ambitions, and he had no armed forces, but he was led by the nose by other people's treacherous schemes, and he had no temper at all.
Hu Xiaotian said without hesitation: "Yes, it's not a secret, although I really want Brother Fanqi to stay and create a great cause with me, but I won't be strong, if Brother Fanqi wants to leave, I will never stop it, but my aunt is old, how can you bear to let her travel a long distance in the harsh winter, if there is any mistake, wouldn't it be too late to regret it."
Chang Fanqi said gloomily: "You don't have to waste your efforts on our mother and son, I can't go back to Dayong in this life, and I won't join your camp, and I will leave next spring." ” Hu Xiaotian really kept his promise and arranged for Xue Lingjun and Qin Yangming to meet, Qin Yangming was detained for nearly a month, his face became pale because he had not seen the sun for a long time, seeing Xue Lingjun come to visit him, Qin Yangming was ashamed, and knelt down in front of Xue Lingjun with a plop: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, the criminal minister Qin Yangming will make amends to you" Xue Lingjun looked at Qin Yangming, who was so down-and-out in front of him, and sighed from the bottom of his heart, this Shao Yuan's chief general, the former general Chang Sheng, also seemed to have suffered a lot of torture, she said softly: "Get up" Qin Yangming was still kneeling on the ground: "The general of the defeated army has no face to stand in front of His Highness." ” Xue Lingjun didn't bother to care about him, you can kneel if you like, leaning on the seat. said indifferently: "Why did you fall into the hands of Hu Xiaotian?"
Qin Yangming's face was full of shame, and he said gloomily: "Your Highness, the last general was not well arranged, and he fell for Hu Xiaotian's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain to attack the west, and he didn't expect that Chang Fanqi and Hu Xiaotian had already colluded, and they were controlled by Chang Fanqi for a while.
Only then did he become a prisoner of the order, and the last general had no face to face the emperor, and asked the eldest princess to punish the crime, and the last general was willing to die to be loyal.
So far, he can only put all the responsibility on Chang Fanqi as much as possible, hoping that this may be able to protect himself.
Xue Lingjun said: "Do you think that if you die, you will be a hundred gone, and you can offset your guilt for losing Dongluocang?"
"The last general didn't think about it that way."
Qin Yangming's face was full of fear.
Xue Lingjun said: "Hu Xiaotian has promised to release all the prisoners in custody, you should be happy, and you will be able to return to Dayong with the palace immediately." ” Qin Yangming was not only happy, but felt indescribable fear in his heart.
As Xue Lingjun said, this matter cannot be solved by death, leading an army of 70,000 to conquer Dongliang County, and in the end not only was he defeated, but even his own main general was captured alive, and he has already become a joke of the world.
Even if Hu Xiaotian let him go back, Emperor Dayong would not spare himself.
Qin Yangming knelt on the ground and couldn't stand down: "Please give death to Your Highness, and the minister will return to his homeland without shame." is even more shameless to face the emperor" When it comes to emotion, tears flow.
Of course, there are reasons for shame, and part of it is because of fear.
Xue Lingjun was obviously a little impatient, shook his head and said, "Qin Yangming, what should be done is up to the emperor to decide, this palace is only here to bring you back, I can't control other things."
Qin Yangming sighed secretly in his heart.
I don't know what kind of treatment I will suffer when I go back this time, and the only way to do this is to put all the blame on Chang Fanqi.
Hu Xiaotian's two victories in Yongjiang did not make much waves in China, and it has reached the coldest season of the year, and the people are more concerned about whether they can be fed and clothed.
How to survive this cold winter, I have no intention of taking into account any national affairs.
Every morning, many frozen corpses appear on both sides of the road in Kangdu, and the soldiers patrolling the city have to take on the task of disposing of these ownerless corpses that freeze to death on the streets at night.
Li Shenzhou came all the way from Yongdu, and after crossing the Yongjiang River, he found that the Dakang Empire, which once dominated the world, no longer had the glory and glory of the past.
In recent years, Dakang has suffered a series of natural disasters, and Dayong has adopted a strategy of blockading grain transportation to this neighboring country, making Dakang's food shortage more and more serious.
After entering Kangdu, Li Shenzhou first encountered the ox cart that transported the corpse in the early morning, facing five ox carts full of people who were frozen to death last night, looking at the scene in front of him, Li Shenzhou's heart could not help but give birth to compassion and compassion, the reason why Dakang fell to the point now is caused by the rotten rule of the imperial court, compared with Dakang, Dayong's recently deceased emperor Xue Shengjing is obviously much wiser, this Yongqing Emperor is eloquent and strategic, far-sighted, has always been to unify the Central Plains, dominate the world as its own responsibility, It's a pity that he died before he left the school, and after all, he still couldn't complete the grand wish of crossing the river and destroying Dakang.
The eldest prince Xue Daohong and Li Shenzhou have known each other since childhood, Li Shenzhou has served as the prince's companion since he was a child, and Xue Daohong has become close friends.
Xue Daohong gave him absolute trust, and he will do his best to repay the trust that Xue Daohong gave him.
Li Shenzhou came with his wife Jian Rongxin this time, his main mission to Dakang is to solve the trouble caused by Hu Xiaotianxin in Yongjiang without blood, and at the same time there is an unknown secret in his heart, he wants to take this opportunity to meet his father, Dakang Taishi Wen Chenghuan.
Long Xuanen met with this envoy from Dayong for the first time, Li Shenzhou is a famous family in Dayong, Long Xuanen once had several encounters with his grandfather Li Xuangan, and also heard the legendary story of Li Shenzhou, knowing that this young general is now the number one celebrity in front of Dayong Xinjun.
Li Shenzhou's identity and origin are only one of the reasons why Long Xuanen is happy to meet him, and the more important reason is that Long Xuanen wants to know the attitude of Dayong's side after two consecutive battles in Yongjiang, when Hu Xiaotian defeated the Nanyang Water Division, Long Xuanen also attributed it to the factor of luck, but when the news of Hu Xiaotian's capture of Dongluocang came, Long Xuanen realized that this guy had gotten rid of his control, and what he was doing now did not take into account the views of the imperial court at all, and he did not want to be responsible for the imperial court.
There are no plans to report back to myself either.
After letting him leave Kangdu, this guy was like a wild horse that had escaped the reins, believing that the horse was reined in, and was no longer under his control.
Although Long Xuanen asked Fan Zongxi to ask for food, he was not optimistic about it, and now Hu Xiaotian has a posture that will not be affected by the life of the monarch outside, and his words will not have much effect.
This feeling of being powerless is not the first time, first Li Tianheng's support for the army is self-reliant, and now there is another Hu Xiaotian, Long Xuanen's control over Dakang has become weaker and weaker, he can't help but think of a few months ago, Qiqi's proposal to divide the princes, which was categorically rejected by himself at that time, but in fact, Dakang is moving towards internal division, once a country cannot provide the people with food and clothing that they rely on for their livelihood, then it will face the end of the people's dispersion.
What Long Xuanen was worried about was not the collapse of the society, because he had already seen that the defeat had become an irresistible trend, and he just hoped that this moment would not come too early.
Anyone can easily guess the main purpose of Li Shenzhou's coming, although the battle was won by Hu Xiaotian, but the responsibility must be held to the head of the Dakang court, just like a child fighting to find parents accountable, as the emperor of Dakang, Long Xuanen must not get out of the way.
After meeting Long Xuan'en in person, Li Shenzhou did not beat around the bush, but went straight to the point, first mentioning the eternal friendship alliance between the two countries, and then talking about the fact that Hu Xiaotian tore up the agreement and provoked wars on the border twice and captured the important town of Dongluocang in Dayong.
The war between the two countries was originally a matter of public justification and justification, and Li Shenzhou's starting point was naturally Dayong, and all the responsibilities were pointed at Dakang, accusing Dakang of taking the lead in breaking the alliance, invading their borders, and forcibly occupying their cities.
Although Long Xuanen was also very unhappy with Hu Xiaotian's actions in his heart, he was the king of a country after all, and when facing the other party's accusations, he did not blindly back down, and after listening to Li Shenzhou's words, he couldn't help but sneer: "All this that the envoy said does not match the news I have, as far as I know, the two wars were all provoked by you, and Hu Xiaotian fought for self-protection." ” Li Shenzhou said: "Your Majesty, the positions of the two sides are different, and the channels for getting the news are completely different, but the facts are undeniable, and now Dongluocang is occupied by Hu Xiaotian's army. ” Long Xuanen nodded and said: "Dakang Dayong was originally a friendly neighbor, and it is not something I want to see when something like this happens, so it would be best if I could clear up my previous suspicions." ” Li Shenzhou said: "Since the war has happened, there is no possibility of turning back, and my majesty does not want to make it worse, and the pain is even worse, so he specially proposed that the two sides should stop the war on this basis, and make peace as the precious, from the border to the covenant, I don't know what Your Majesty wants."
Of course, Long Xuanen doesn't want to fight anymore, with Dakang's national strength today, he doesn't have the strength to go to war with Dayong on all fronts, of course, he also knows that Dayong's purpose of taking the initiative to make peace is not to be afraid of them, but to delay the army, according to the latest information he has obtained, the black Hu people are fighting in the northern Xinjiang of Dayong, and when Dayong invades the Central Plains in the coming spring, although Dayong's strength is strong, he can't afford to fight on two fronts at the same time, and Dayong's country is in the alternating period of the old and new regimes, and the current new monarch Xue Daohong is not in power.
It is these factors that cause him to give in.
