witch chaotic country

Chapter 70 Madman in Troubled Times

It turned out that the chief envoy of the Xia Dynasty knew that he could not waste time here after seeing several people and horses investigating for many days without any progress.

In order to divert Helian Bobo's attention from this matter, with the intention of fighting to the death, he secretly wrote a memorandum, claiming that Qiu Chi made Jie Zimo compete with Wei Huang for the dancer in public, which caused Wei Huang to become angry from embarrassment.

Now Qiu Chi and the Northern Wei Dynasty are in conflict.However, the art class was killed by villains in the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the Northern Wei Dynasty owed it to the Xia Dynasty.At this time, if the Xia Dynasty sent troops to Qiuchi, not only would the Northern Wei Dynasty not stop it, the Emperor Wei might even help.

After the envoy Xia sent this memorial, he left someone behind to continue pretending to be himself in the posthouse.And he played the golden cicada to escape his shell, and was escorted by the swordsman to leave Pingcheng secretly, and he had been gone for a few days.

Inviting Yu to change his clothes while cursing in his heart, this group of wolves and tigers must have been waiting for him for a long time!Zimo clashed with Emperor Wei in order to compete for a dancer, and Hu Xia sent troops on the back!It was obviously a bet that Emperor Wei would not intervene in this matter.

Hu Xia and Qiuchi do not border each other. If they want to attack Qiuchi, they must either go through Lueyang County in the Northern Wei Dynasty or Hanyang County in the Western Qin Dynasty (Note 7).Judging from the current situation, is Hu Xia planning to stand on the side of the new Emperor Wei and resist Tuoba Pojun?Isn't he afraid of the military power in the hands of Tuoba Pojun?

Wait, what if Tuoba Pojun also acquiesced in Hu Xia's attack?Waiting for Qiu Chi and Hu Xia to lose both sides, wouldn't it just happen to be harvested together?Although I have a verbal agreement with Tuoba Pojun, there is no guarantee that he will turn his face...

The more Zhao Yu thought about it, the more anxious she became, and the faster she put on her clothes, she accidentally pulled the sword wound on her shoulder, causing her to grin in pain.Fortunately there was no further bleeding.Zhao Yu was afraid of tearing the wound, so she had to wear it slowly, and her mood gradually calmed down.

The army of the Northern Wei Dynasty had only withdrawn for less than three months, and took a lot of property with them when they left.When Yang Sheng fled, he even took away all the valuable and portable items from the palace.Although there is Liang Weng presiding over the restoration of the country in Qiu Chi, he still lacks vitality.

Things aren't too bad though.Yinping and the others are still unable to attack. The city wall of Wudu in the north has just been reinforced, and there are [-] defenders in the city.As long as she withstood Hu Xia's previous attacks, she would be able to buy time to turn things around.

Thinking of this, Yao Yu took a deep breath, adjusted her clothes, makeup and veil again, and confirmed that everything was in order.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the package that Jiao Niang had just sent on the table, and stepped forward to open it. After looking at it, he burst out laughing, "Jiao Niang, Jiao Niang, you really are Huizhi Lanxin, this is not a gift, It’s the east wind I’m missing.”

When Yaoyu was ready and went out, Zimo was already waiting at the door.Seeing her coming, he helped her into the car and got in himself.The coachman drove the carriage all the way to the palace.

The sound of wheels rang out, and Yao Yu asked in a low voice, "How many people?"

"Thirty thousand people are reported."

Zhao Yu couldn't believe it, "Is King Hu Xia crazy? There is a saying in military strategists that a strong attack is the worst strategy for attacking a city. Without a force of ten to ten, there is no chance of winning the attack. Hu Xia only has [-] soldiers and horses, so he thought Combat across the border? Could it be that the Northern Wei Dynasty will help them send troops?"

"They captured Hanyang."

"What?" Zhao Yu thought he heard it wrong, "No more than [-] people, not only blatantly crossing the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty to attack us from afar, but also launched a war against the Western Qin Dynasty at the same time? Did Helian Bobo take crazy drugs? This kind of battle You can win without me!"

Zimo was not optimistic, "Maybe it's really crazy, maybe there's a reason for it. Qin Zhongzhi's battle report said that Hu Xia developed a new kind of catapult, which can throw flints over a height of ten feet from a hundred meters away. The wall... It is said that Hanyang was conquered before it could last even a day."

Yao Yu tensed up, a new catapult?That's why Hu Xia dared to be so blatant?The Hu people in the north are good at supporting war with war.Military supplies are often obtained wherever they are sold.If Hu Xia had conquered Hanyang, their troops and supplies might have increased.

The posthouse was not too far from the palace, and before the two had time to discuss it, the Wei Palace had already arrived.

Get out of the car and inform the palace guard.Soon a eunuch came over and led the two into the Hall of Rende.

Wei Huang sat in the main hall at this time and accepted the visit of the two.

"Give me a seat!" Wei Huang seemed to be in a good mood today. Although there was a moment of anger when he saw Yao Yu coming in, it was fleeting.

The two sat down after thanking each other, and Gong'e stepped forward to serve tea.Yao Yu kept his head down, obediently following the rules, not even daring to take a sneak peek, for fear that Emperor Wei would make an excuse at this time.

Emperor Wei ignored Zimo, and instead asked Yao Yudao, "I heard that the beauty was injured by a sword recently and was overly frightened. Why don't you stay longer? Could it be that the hostel's hospitality is not good enough?"

Zhao Yu hurriedly got up to salute, "Thank you Your Majesty for asking, there is nothing wrong with the post house. Thanks to the timely rescue of the envoy, the injury was not serious, and now the slave's body is fine, so I dare not delay the envoy's trip any longer. "

Wei Huang raised his hand to comfort him, "You don't need to be polite, just sit and answer. I and King Helian are also deeply saddened by the matter of the art class. I have ordered General Tuoba to solve the case quickly, and I will return the beauty." justice."

Yao Yu hurriedly tapped the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief, pretending to wipe away her tears, and said with a choked voice, "My family thanked Your Majesty on behalf of everyone in the art class."

Zimo also stood up at this time, cupped his hands and said, "Speaking of which, the envoy has not thanked His Majesty for giving me Nian'er. If not, I am afraid that Nian'er will also be murdered by thieves. In fact, we should have stayed a little longer. Today, let her relax, but with government affairs in hand, I dare not betray the entrustment of Immortal Fairy."

Wei Huang said seriously, "Since this is the case, I will not force you to stay. There is only one thing, I would like to ask your envoy to convey it on your behalf." After Wei Huang finished speaking, he smiled again.

"Please speak, Emperor Wei."

Emperor Wei was not in a hurry, he sipped two sips of wine before he spoke again, "The governor of Bohai County gave me a big gift for this banquet."

Wei Huang paused on purpose, looked up at Zimo's face, saw that Zimo was as usual, and then continued, "The name of this gift is Penglai, and it is actually a small island in the sea. This island is shrouded in clouds and fog all the year round. Fortunately, the fishermen occasionally took a look at it from a distance, thinking it was a fairy world, so they called it Penglai. The governor of Bohai County specially sent a number of sea boats to find out to celebrate my enthronement, hoping to pay homage to the gods and seek longevity for me. Immortality, or inviting a fairy princess to marry me, is also a beautiful thing."

He glanced obscenely at Zhao Yu before he said, "It can be said that the emperor pays off. After several attempts, they actually landed on the island. But I don't think that Penglai is not a fairy world, but Shi Chong, who was once rich and powerful. A palace built for myself. This palace is exactly the same as the now abandoned Jingu Garden, only more magnificent, with deeper buildings and higher pavilions. I heard that even my palace has been compared. I am very happy to have this treasured land.”

　Remark 7: It was previously written that Qiuchi is in the area of ​​Jiuzhaigou, and next to the northwest of Qiuchi is Xiqin, which is now Yuzhong, Gansu.Then to the north of West Qin is Beiliang.Beiliang and Tongwan in the Xia Dynasty are almost at the same latitude, and Tongwan is straight west from Beiliang.Qiuchi, Western Qin, and Northern Liang are bordering each other, and there are some Northern Wei territories between the Three Kingdoms and the Xia Dynasty.The Xia Dynasty was basically surrounded by the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty at that time, and it is not surprising that the Northern Wei Dynasty had to defeat him at that time.
