The reborn abandoned woman reigns

Chapter 190 Support
"We have so many things to do, how can we have the time to lie to you? If you want to believe it, just sit in a daze and wait peacefully until tomorrow morning. But if you don't believe it, then you can only spend the night tremblingly, and then... the result It's the same..." He Nuo deliberately said something creepy, and then walked away with the other two.

It was windy outside again, and the yellow sand was rolled up in bursts, and it hurt a little bit when it hit people's faces.The eldest grandson Jingrong put on the hat on the cloak and pulled the collar to wrap her cheeks, but the fine sand could still hit her delicate skin.

But suddenly, Changsun Jingrong found that the wind had subsided, and those pebbles had disappeared, as if he was hiding in a safe harbor, where he could shelter himself from the wind and rain.

Looking up and looking around, Changsun Jingrong found that there was an extra long scarf on his body, and Sima Xukong covered his head tightly with it to resist the invasion of wind and sand.

Following the scarf, looking at the man dimly, Changsun Jingrong asked: "This scarf is very long, you can tear off a piece and cover it on your own head."

"This bit of wind and sand is nothing to a man. If you rub your cheeks rough, it will look vicissitudes and charm."

The corner of his mouth twitched, Changsun Jingrong thought to himself that this man's way of thinking is really strange, if he doesn't enjoy the comfortable life, he just wants to make trouble for himself.

Fortunately, after walking not far, several people got into a carriage, the coachman shook his whip, and drove the carriage away quickly.

On the carriage, there was another man with a rough appearance and a tall figure. When he saw Sima Xukong, he wanted to salute him, but Sima Xukong stopped him and arranged for him: "I got Wang Hu's soldier talisman. Go to the barracks, and according to Wang Hu's order, dispatch all the troops to Yahugou."

Yahugou is not far from here, and the 1000 people brought by Sima Xukong are also waiting there, waiting for the fat sheep to enter.

Looking at the soldier talisman, the big man smiled and said, "My lord is really fast. It only took me half a day to get the soldier talisman. But what should I do with the weapon?"

"Wang Hu said that the weapons are all in the barracks, just load them into a few carriages and take them away."

Seeing Sima Xukong's ready appearance, Changsun Jingrong put his chin on his palm and said, "You can do a lot of tricks with more strikes and fewer tricks. Wang Hu will definitely not confess that he took the initiative to hand over the soldier talisman." Yes, he will only say that he will fight against the enemy with all his strength in the future and dispatch all the troops there, but he does not want the enemy to be too strong and sweep all his troops over. And you can bring [-] soldiers and weapons openly on your side. Start a new family in a mighty way. Sima Xukong, your abacus is sound enough."

Smiling modestly, Sima Xukong said: "No way, although I also find it troublesome, but if it is too obvious, people in the Xu family will immediately think that I did it, how boring. So, Still have to do face-saving work.”

The next thing went smoothly. He Nuo disguised himself as that Chang'an, took all the officers and soldiers out with a soldier talisman, and went to Yahugou in a mighty way.Because Yahugou is close, we arrived before dawn.

Standing on the same spot and looking around, a lieutenant asked He Nuo who was disguised, and said: "Master Chang, there are no officers and soldiers from Long Rui here, could our news be wrong?"

"It shouldn't be. My lord personally told me this, and there's no way I could make a mistake. Wait a minute, I'll take three of you to the front to have a look." He Nuo walked forward with the three confidantes beside him. .As soon as they left the circle, they saw torches suddenly lit up all around, glowing red, as if they were going to set the sky on fire.

"Surrender, surrender, surrender..."

Because the terrain of Yahugou is low and there are valleys on both sides, shouting in unison like this makes the surroundings seem to be surrounded by tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and makes Wang Hu's soldiers tremble before they start fighting.

Someone tied up He Nuo, displayed it in front of everyone, and shouted loudly: "You are all optimistic, if you submit to us, you will treat him like a brother in the future, but if you resist, then you will end up just like him... "After the words fell, a big man raised a big knife and slashed at He Nuo's neck fiercely. After He Nuo screamed, he fell limply to the ground.

The main general of this battle died before it started, which made everyone panic and at a loss.And several secret agents who had been placed in the army long ago began to stir up people's hearts, shouting: "If we put down our weapons, can we really save our lives..."

"That's natural. You are not heinous people. It is because you have followed the wrong person that you have come to where you are today. Now you have a chance to make a new choice. If you can realize the mistakes you made before, try your best to correct them now. Then they are still Long Rui's good citizens and good soldiers. But if you insist on going your own way, don't blame us for eliminating harm for the country..."

Sima Xukong spoke impassionedly, and the people below couldn't help but began to doubt the identity of this person, so someone asked loudly: "You want us to follow you, so you have to tell us about your identity."

With his hands behind his back, Sima Xukong said arrogantly: "My servant, Ninth Prince Long Rui, Sima Xukong..."

"Nine Princes? People from the capital??"

"What is he doing here?"

"Then we can't control it. If the Ninth Prince can help us, maybe we can really survive."

"The people in the capital wanted to kill us a long time ago. Look at the black shadows around, at least there are 5 people..."

"If you surrender now, not only can you save your life, but you can also get rid of your identity as a traitor in the future. It seems to be the most beneficial thing for us."

……

Hearing that Sima Xukong reported his net worth, the people below couldn't help talking about it.Not long after, the first person began to drop their weapons, and the second, the third...

Satisfied with the crowd who disarmed and surrendered in front of them, Sima Xukong nodded to the big man beside him, turned around and went down the hillside conveniently, leading two teams of officers and soldiers. The remaining officers and soldiers were divided into teams of 500 people and slowly left Yahugou.

Seeing the orderly movement of the team, He Nuo looked at the bottle in his hand with some regret, and said, "I didn't expect these people to be so obedient, so I didn't even have a chance to make a move."

"Don't worry, there will definitely be people who are dishonest along the way, and you will have a place to use them." Sima Xukong smiled lightly, and then said, "Including these officers and soldiers, I have eight people on hand." Wan, try your best to attack Xu Zizheng, and you can barely have a three-point chance of winning."

When He Nuo heard this, he couldn't help being startled, and hurriedly asked: "My lord, are you going to attack the Xu family now?"

"Of course not. I won't do such a reckless thing before the time comes." Sima Xukong said, "I just compared the strength with the Xu family, and found that there is still a gap."

Regarding this, He Nuo was full of confidence, and said: "It's okay, let's subdue the rebels again, so two more times, at least we can fight in terms of numbers."

"The latter ones will be hard to subdue. They must have heard the news, and they won't take it lightly. Moreover, they are not soldiers trained by themselves, and it is inconvenient to use. The attack ability is definitely not comparable to the Xu family's elite soldiers. But Fortunately, we still have backup, and with them, things can turn around."

"Backup?" He Nuo was stunned for a moment, looking at the back of Sima Xukong leaving, he didn't think for a long time who was the backup.

When Wang Hu was finally able to move his body, his barracks was empty, only some cooks remained, looking at Wang Hu in blank dismay.

Sitting down on the ground, Wang Hu didn't even have the strength to cry, his heart was more than half cold, and he was helpless.

And Chang An, who was knocked unconscious, also came out unsteadily, saw Wang Hu, and couldn't help calling out: "My lord, why are you here?"

As if seeing a savior, Wang Hu got up and grabbed Chang An by the collar, and asked, "What's going on? What about the people here? Where did they go?"

Chang An looked around in a daze, and said, "Human? Shouldn't everyone be in the barracks? What's wrong with you, my lord?"

"Bullshit..." Wang Hu said anxiously, "Everyone has been transferred, it's everyone..."

Chang An slowly opened his eyes wide, and it took a long time before he could say a word, "Who... did it?"

"It's the woman you found yesterday, and her accomplice..." Wang Hu's eyes were red, and he said angrily, "They used my name to transfer all the soldiers. If the Xu family found out, they would definitely Thinking that I and that bastard are in the same group, so they will kill me..."

Chang An pondered for a moment, and then suggested: "My lord, why don't we just use our tricks and push the matter to that person, maybe the people from the Xu family can spare our lives. Think about it, those mysterious people have spent so much trouble , It’s definitely not just for our weapons and horses, they will have greater ambitions, if we can notify the Xu family in time, maybe we can make up for it.”

Wang Hu nodded his head in a panic, and hurriedly said, "You're right, let's set off now..."

The fact that Sima Xukong is still alive has been reported back to the palace. The Empress Dowager looked at the secret document in her hand and said nothing for a long time.

The Third Prince was invited into the palace by the Empress Dowager, but seeing the Empress Dowager's dazed appearance, he couldn't help but stepped forward and asked with concern: "The Empress Dowager, but you have been feeling unwell recently?"

Looking up at the Third Prince, the Empress Dowager said with a little melancholy: "Take a look, this is a secret letter Xu Kong entrusted someone to bring back."

Hearing Sima Xukong's name, the Third Prince was stunned for a moment, and then a little bit happy, said: "The Empress Dowager, you said that the ninth brother is still alive? This is really great."

"It's a good thing that Xu Kong is still in the world. It's just that the place where he appears now is not a good place." The Empress Dowager said with a melancholy sigh.

Seeing the worried look on the empress dowager's face, the third prince hurriedly asked, "Where is it?"

"Xu Zizheng's lair."

His pupils shrank, and the third prince said: "Why did the ninth brother go there? Is he alone? That's too dangerous... Empress Dowager, I beg you to bring the ninth brother back in person now."

"Hmph, do you think Xu Kong will stay there obediently, waiting for you to find him?" The Empress Dowager shook her head and said, "This worry-free child said he wanted to track down Xu Zizheng. , and then send back the information obtained at all times.”

"How can I let the ninth brother be in danger alone? How about asking the second prince to turn around and go to support the ninth brother?"

The Empress Dowager seemed quite satisfied with this suggestion, nodded and said: "That's fine, the Second Prince is old and experienced, and can assist Zizheng out of danger. The Ai family will write to the Second Prince. It's just..." The Empress Dowager seemed to have thought of something, and said with a frown, "I just know Zizheng's location, but I'm always lagging behind. When the Second Prince arrives, it will take a while later. If so, how can I catch up with Zizheng?"

"Empress Dowager, we can speculate based on the information Zizheng sent back, and we will have more chances." The third prince said slowly, "According to my understanding of the ninth brother, he is impatient and can't hide it. What a secret, the Empress Dowager can implicitly inquire about where he is going in the letter, so she can pay attention first."

"I can only try this way," the Empress Dowager lamented, and said, "This Ninth Prince is really annoying. But no matter what, he is still alive, which is always a happy event."

"The empress dowager said so."

After reading the letter in his hand, Sima Xukong put it beside the candle and watched it burn into ashes little by little.

Pan Shijie saw that Sima Xukong's complexion was not good, so he asked, "My lord, did the empress dowager say anything?"

"It's nothing, just want me to pay attention to my body and not take risks."

"Then...why is your complexion not so good?"

Folding his hands in front of him, Sima Xukong exhaled lightly, and said, "Because, the Empress Dowager asked me where I was going, and she wanted the Second Prince to support me. Hmph, it sounded like support, but he came Obviously, they will only seize power and merit, and don't care whether Xu Zizheng can be caught or not."

He Nuo frowned, with a very distressed look, and said: "Knowing the Second Prince's temperament, we can't let him find it. Hey, how about this? Let's say some wrong addresses on purpose, so that the Second Prince can't find it." Go find it without a clue."

Sima Xukong shook his head and said: "It won't work this time, and there will be another time. Do we have to use the same trick every time? The Empress Dowager may become suspicious. It will be fine by then, but people will misunderstand it a little bit more. And the Empress Dowager didn't send anyone else, she just found the Second Prince, she clearly wanted us to fight among ourselves, so we couldn't concentrate on it."

Pan Shijie didn't know much about the empress dowager, and he didn't know much about the grievances between the brothers in the royal family, so he asked, "But what good will this do for the empress dowager? We are working so hard, not for their royal family's sake." ."

"Because in this way, the Empress Dowager can rest assured that we don't have to worry about us forming a clique outside and turning against her." Sima Xukong said without rushing, "For the Empress Dowager, losing a little territory is far more important than her Threats to imperial power are more acceptable."

Pan Shijie didn't expect that there was such a hidden secret in it, and he couldn't help but said with righteous indignation: "We are so worried outside, but the empress dowager is so afraid of us, it is really chilling... If things go on like this, who can do it for them? Working hard to fight the country?"

"When you get used to such a life full of calculations, you will understand what the Empress Dowager thinks," Sima Xukong said in a calm tone, "For the present plan, we can only speed up our actions. Before the prince arrives, subdue those traitors."

He Nuo was quite puzzled by this, and asked: "This is a traitor that we have worked so hard to subdue. What if the second prince begs for it? Isn't it a wedding dress for someone else? The strength of the second prince?" Big increase is also a threat to us."

With a sneer, Sima Xukong said: "Hmph, that would only be available to the Second Prince. The Second Prince might be attracted to the 10,000+ soldiers, but when he saw that the rebels were like a mess, he would There will be no more reverie. And I plan to bring these rebels back to the capital and hand them over to the Empress Dowager, on the one hand to reassure them, and on the other hand, to let the Second Prince clean up the mess himself."

Shaking his head and sighing, He Nuo said regretfully: "It's just a pity. I thought I could take the opportunity to kill Xu Zizheng, but now it seems that he still has a loophole."

But Sima Xukong didn't feel any pity for doing this, and said: "It is always necessary to hurt the second prince, so that he knows the pain and can change the problem of being overconfident, and no longer always thinking about others. s things."

The eldest grandson Jingrong also heard the news that the Second Prince was coming, and when Sima Xukong returned to the room after nightfall, he asked, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Ah."

"Would it be a pity? After all, we only need to go one step forward to kill Xu Zizheng."

Sitting next to Changsun Jingrong, Sima Xukong said with a smile: "It is not easy to destroy Xu Zizheng, not only because of Xu Zizheng's strength, but also because of the resistance from the capital. I already knew that." Mentally prepare. And I can just take this opportunity to see if the Second Prince is Xu Zizheng's accomplice."

Stopping what he was doing, Changsun Jingrong looked at Sima Xukong and asked, "Why, you can see this?"

"Of course," Sima Xukong said triumphantly, "If the second prince is Xu Zizheng's accomplice, then he will definitely not kill Xu Zizheng. The second prince and the horse. The two said they were fighting, but in fact it was more like a show for others to see."

"A military strategist can win or lose a war. Even if the Second Prince loses, you can't just insist that he is Xu Zizheng's aide."

"Then let's see at the end, we will know the number of casualties." Sima Xukong approached the elder grandson Jingrong, smelling the fragrance of her hair, and murmured, "If that person is really the Second Prince, He will definitely not be willing to sacrifice his hard-trained soldiers to be beaten to pieces, and then put a few smoke bombs on each other, and it will be over. Maybe he will falsely report the number of casualties to the Empress Dowager, and then he will find a way to recruit some recruits , and added the number of people before and after.”
