Chapter 584 Shangguo Conspiracy 4 What Lin Yong and the Lingwu generals feared did not happen.
At dawn the next day, most of the main Hui army quietly withdrew to Mobei, leaving only a few thousand people as the personal guards of the new Yehu Khan, waiting for the ceremony of the alliance between the two countries to be held in Lingwu two days later.
Lin Yong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then slowly led the army to retreat from Lingwu.
At this time, Kong Sheng had already led the forbidden army to escort the Yidi Jianhe Gu Lulu as a prisoner, as well as the Hui Moyan Khan and others who were the guests of the throne, and returned to Lingwu City.
Lingwu defenders and Lingwu people help the old and young out of the city to meet, the news has been sent back to Lingwu City, saying that the Hui people were afraid of Chang'an Hou, and they will retire soon, and the Hui Khan is replaced, the new Ye Hu Khan is to the Tang Dynasty, as for the so-called princess and relatives, it will be canceled, and two days later the alliance ceremony between the Hui and the Tang Dynasty will be held outside Lingwu City, Yunyun.
For the common people, the most direct benefit is that the Hui people have retreated, the Hui people have been replaced with a new khan, and the hidden danger of invading the Lingwu border in the future has been eliminated.
As for whether to get along or not, in fact, most people don't care much.
However, for decades, the Uighur border has nominally formed a friendly alliance with the Tang Dynasty, but in fact, the invasion and plundering of the western frontier by the tribes under the Uighur have of course been small-scale and have never stopped, and the people on the border are miserable.
Your grain has been harvested, the cattle and horses have been fattened, and when it is harvest season, a small group of Hui cavalry disguised as bandits roared and left.
Not only looted grain and grass supplies, but also plundered people.
In the northern tent of the Hui Desert or the stations of various tribes, there are often Han slaves being sold, which are the border people of the Tang Dynasty who have been taken captive.
Therefore, for the Lingwu people, what kind of friendly alliance between the Hui and the Tang Dynasty is completely a pretext to fool the people of the world, for these Hui people with the nature of tigers and wolves, if they are not completely afraid, if they have always coveted the Tang Dynasty, the so-called friendly alliance is empty talk, and it is the border people of the Tang Dynasty who are harmed.
This news came, especially some rumors that Kong Sheng bombarded Helan Fort and forced Hui Khan to abdicate, which made the people of Lingwu very happy.
This was the key factor in the spontaneous arrival of the people in the city.
Kong Sheng entered the city amid the cheers of the Lingwu people along the way, arranged the residence of Mo Yansi and others, and closely guarded the two important prisoners, Gu Lulu and Yidi Jian, and then took the time to see the princess of Ningguo.
To stop with his relatives, he must inform Ning Guo in person.
In fact, Princess Ning Guo had already gotten the news.
At the beginning, Ning Guo couldn't believe his ears, is this true, is this true She grabbed the hand of the communication eunuch and asked several times, and after it was confirmed, he was relieved and overjoyed, and at the same time, tears fell like rain, and he locked himself in the room and cried loudly for a full quarter of an hour, venting his depression, sadness and despair for many days.
Kong Sheng's action can be said to have benefited from all three levels.
One is the national interests of the Tang Dynasty, and the northwest frontier facing the Hui will be stable, at least during the period when Ye Hu is in power, there will be no more hidden dangers, and financial resources, energy, and troops can be withdrawn to consolidate other frontiers and develop national strength; The second is the personal interests of the border people, there is no longer the pain of border captivity and plunder, and with the acceleration of the integration process of the Tang Dynasty and the Hui people, the descendants of the border people who have fallen into the Hui will gradually return to their homeland; The third is the princess of Ningguo.
No longer have to take huge risks to return to the family, what a blessing it should be Princess Ning Guo smiled and waited quietly in her living room.
She knew that Kong Sheng would definitely come, and at this moment, her heart was full of gratitude to Kong Sheng, and that kind of feelings that could not be described in words were growing in the bud little by little, Kong Sheng did not necessarily do this for her, but she was a direct beneficiary.
Kong Sheng saved her fate.
And now, after her mind calmed down, Princess Ning Guo remembered what Kong Sheng said when the sun rose in Chang'an, why should she be asked to "sit and watch the spring flowers bloom and wait for the time to run".
The door was knocked gently, all the palace maids and eunuchs were retreated by Ning Guoping, she got up and went to open the door in person, and when she opened the door, it was Kong Sheng's slightly pale face, seeing that he was changing into a civilian robe, and there were many wounds on his body, Ning Guo's face changed, and he said hurriedly: "Kong Sheng, you are injured" The fastest news spreads is the result, and as for why Kong Sheng bombarded Helan Fort in the process, and may not return to the Khan to abdicate, and Kong Sheng and the three of them were injured because of this, few people mention it.
Kong Sheng smiled and arched his hand: "I have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess, Kong was besieged by the Hui thieves in Helan Fort, and was accidentally injured, but it was only a slight injury, and there was no major problem.
It's just that the Wu brothers are still bedridden because of my drag and serious injuries, which is regrettable. ” Wu Xianwu Xie and the injuries of the two were very serious.
If it weren't for the timely treatment, I am afraid that I would have died a long time ago.
In addition, the two of them lost too much blood, and if they want their bodies to recover to their original state, they will need at least a month or two of recuperation.
Lingwu's conditions are limited, and Kong Sheng has already arranged for military doctors and guards to send the two back to Chang'an to recuperate from their injuries.
Ning Guo's eyes were moist and his face was slightly red, "You come in and talk." ” Kong Sheng saw that there were no palace maids and eunuchs waiting in the room, so he hesitated slightly.
Even if Princess Ning Guo is no longer a princess of Heqin, it is a little inappropriate for him to be alone with her lonely man and widow, especially when he knows that Ning Guo has some other feelings for him, so he is even more hesitant.
Seeing that he was hesitant to move forward with some concerns, Ning Guo was greatly dissatisfied, and said coquettishly: "Could it be that your dignified general, known as the first hero of the Tang Dynasty, made the Hui people frightened Chang'anhou, and was afraid that I would not be afraid if a weak woman ate you, I am not afraid, what are you afraid of?"
Kong Sheng smiled bitterly and stepped in, Princess Ning immediately covered the door and turned around.
Kong Sheng was a little embarrassed, and smiled: "Presumably the princess has already gotten the news, but Kong Sheng still has to come to tell the princess, I have reached a consensus with the Hui Yehu Khan, and the friendly alliance between the two countries continues, but the matter of peace is over."
Two days later, the two countries will make an alliance, and I will jointly write a letter to His Majesty the Emperor with the Hui Yehu Khan, explaining the matter, and the princess can rest assured. ” Princess Ningguo smiled softly: "Kong Sheng, I don't have anything to worry about, now I don't have to go back to my relatives, for me it is tantamount to being reincarnated."
Kong Sheng, no matter what, I want to thank you for saving me. ” Kong Sheng took a deep breath: "Princess, Kong Sheng doesn't have the slightest selfish distractions in doing things, this time he took advantage of the situation to add fuel to the fire and support Ye Hu to ascend to the throne of Hui Khan, and it is still my national interests in Datang." ” Princess Ningguo's gaze at Kong Sheng became a little complicated and resentful: "Kong Sheng, there is no need for you to explain this in front of me.
I also know that you are not doing it for me, but I am still very touched.
Throughout the ages, I don't know how many people in the Central Plains and Princess Qin have gone and never returned, but I am afraid that I am the only one who was rescued halfway before I got out of the jam. ” Kong Sheng smiled and fell silent.
This is not an exaggeration at all, the Central Plains Dynasty has many princesses who are friendly with nomads because of various political factors, but the one who successfully got out of it halfway with his relatives is Ningguo.
I don't dare to say that it will be the last time, but it must be unprecedented.
"Princess, after the alliance, Kong Sheng returned to Chang'an as a guard for the princess, and since then, the princess's life should return to normal."
Kong Sheng saw that the atmosphere in the room was awkward and dull, and he was a little speechless.
Ning Guo smiled faintly: "What are you doing in such a hurry to go back, in fact, I don't want to go back to Chang'an."
Everyone in the world says that Chang'an is prosperous, and the deep palace is like the sea, but who knows, what kind of helplessness and sorrow is behind this prosperity?

Ning Guo sighed: "I still don't talk about this, Kong Sheng, I prepared some wine and food, I originally wanted to accompany you to use some, but seeing that you are injured, it is better to " Ning Guo originally blurted out that it would be better for you to rest with me for a while and we would talk, but suddenly thought that this was extremely inappropriate, she didn't think about herself and the influence of Kong Sheng as a minister, so she swallowed back the second half of the words.
Kong Sheng gave a deep salute, some of which touched the wound on his waist, and he groaned slightly in pain, and said softly: "Princess, Kong Sheng retires" Ning Guo opened his mouth a little helplessly and lonely, but he knew that he couldn't keep Kong Sheng, so he had to nod slowly: "You go to rest, take care of your injuries, and I'll see you tomorrow." ”oshow7 t1706231537:
