Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 523 Double Happiness
Zhao Yingqi's face was full of anger, he stood up and was about to explode.

Zhao Guang squinted at him with contempt in his eyes.The guards beside him put their hands on the hilt of their swords in unison, as if Zhao Yingqi and Liang Xiao would be killed in the tent as long as Zhao Guang gave an order.It was only then that Zhao Yingqi realized that he was a guest, his courage weakened by three points, his face turned red from holding back,

Liang Xiao stopped Zhao Yingqi at the right time.It doesn't matter if they don't like each other. If they really want to fight, that's not his goal, especially when Zhao Guang still controls nearly [-] main forces.No matter how brave they are, they may not be able to retreat completely.

"Who is the general of Minyue? How many troops are there?"

Zhao Guang rolled his eyes lazily. "The general of Minyue is called Jing Zhao, and it is said that he is a Han. As for the number of troops, I don't know, there should be [-] to [-]."

Liang Xiao didn't ask any more questions.He knew Jing Zhao.Jing Zhao is not a Han Chinese, Jing is a common surname of Chu, Jing Zhao is a descendant of Chu, he followed Liu Ju before, and once fought in Kuaiji.Jing Zhao's second son, Jing Ping, is still his nominal junior.The situation in Minyue is different from that in South Vietnam. The total strength of Minyue is less than 3.As Jing Zhao, no matter how much Yu Shan trusted him, it was impossible for him to give him [-] to [-] people.

Zhao Guang was simply too lazy to answer their questions, just perfunctory.

Liang Xiao gave Zhao Yingqi a wink.Zhao Yingqi understood, got up, cupped his hands, and walked away.Liang Xiao also got up and walked to the door of the tent, but he stopped again.Zhao Guang turned his head and looked at him puzzled.

"What else do you have to say, Your Majesty?"

Liang Xiao laughed lightly: "Your Highness, you may not be very clear about whether Jing Zhao used to be a subordinate of Prince Wu Liu Ju, or a defeated subordinate of mine." After speaking, he nodded slightly, turned around and left.

Zhao Guang was stunned for a while, his face a bit ugly.He knew that Liang Xiao had once fought in Kuaiji, but at that time Liang Xiao was just an ordinary Lang Guan and had no qualifications to lead an army at all.If it is said that Jing Zhao was defeated by him at that time, it means that Jing Zhao's ability to use troops is really limited.If Liang Xiao helped Zhao Yingqi defeat Jing Zhao and the news spread to Panyu, what would others think of Zhao Guang?

Those people in Panyu would not listen to his explanation, they only knew one very simple thing: he led an army of [-] and failed to defeat Jing Zhao in half a year, while Zhao Yingqi and Liang Xiao easily defeated Jing Zhao with only [-] cavalry. Jing Zhao.Comparing the two sides, the superiority is clear.

How would Lu Jia react?
Zhao Guang sat up, his cheeks twitched uncontrollably twice, feeling very frustrated.

-

Liang Xiao caught up with Zhao Yingqi and returned to his camp.Zhao Yingqi also calmed down, feeling worried.I had a stalemate with Zhao Guang right away, how will I get along with him in the future?Among other things, it is a big problem to ask Zhao Guang to provide food, grass and supplies.The number of soldiers is limited, but only five or six hundred people will come, and more than 600 war horses are a big food household. The luggage they bring is far from enough.

Liang Xiao gave him a suggestion: call Zhao Guang immediately, and ask for as much as you can.Send people to the nearest Jieyang order to dispatch, first solve the urgent need; then ask for support from Panyu, and transport it by ship.The rainy season has passed, and merchant ships can go to sea. Requisitioning merchant ships for transportation can completely solve the problem of the luggage of these hundreds of people and more than a thousand war horses.

Zhao Ying obeyed.

Liang Xiao then raised the key issue.Zhao Guang refused to provide any help, not even the most basic map, so he had to rely on himself for this battle.Victory is more important than long-term battles. Before Jing Zhao knew they were coming, he should injure the Fujian-Vietnamese army as soon as possible and take the lead.If it drags on for a long time, and the Minyue scouts learn about the new cavalry and are prepared, it will not be so easy to win.

Zhao Yingqi was very worried. "Is five hundred rides enough?"

"It depends on how well it is used." Liang Xiao was very calm.He was also a little worried at first, but along the way, he was already somewhat sure.Nanyue is the Guangdong of later generations, and Minyue is the Fujian of later generations. Both are mountainous lands.It is not easy to attack from the interior, but the coastline is relatively flat, allowing cavalry to attack quickly.

More importantly, Minyue people are very unfamiliar with cavalry tactics, and they have no tactical preparations, so they have opportunities to take advantage of.

"The top priority is to find out the terrain. Your Highness, checking the terrain is difficult and dangerous. Are you going?"

"Your Majesty, are you going?"

"Of course I'm going. Listening to other people's reports is not as real as seeing it with my own eyes."

"Then I'll go too." Zhao Yingqi said cheerfully: "I invited Junhou to be a staff officer. Junhou is going to check the terrain. Naturally, I have to follow, so that I can learn from my teacher."

Liang Xiao smiled and nodded in agreement.

-

Chang'an, the Son of Heaven with his hands behind his back, walked slowly down the corridor, looking in the direction of Ye Ting from time to time.The father of the master followed behind, with a calm face, but the corners of his mouth trembled from time to time, showing a little nervousness.

The Son of Heaven is waiting for news of the birth of the Chen sisters.

Pregnant in October, the sisters gave birth almost at the same time.The two have been in the delivery room for two days, and there is no news yet.It was related to the heirs of the royal family, and the always calm emperor couldn't control his emotions, like a boy who was a new father, he kept looking around.

However, the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven after all, not an ordinary farmer. There are too many problems that make him uneasy, not only his heirs, but also the flood in Shandong and the war in Fujian and Vietnam.

Neither of those things went well.Zheng and Ji An went there for nearly two months at that time. The Yellow River's breaches were blocked and blocked several times. Not only was a lot of supplies wasted, but more than a dozen people died.This made the emperor think of the proposal made by Prime Minister Tian Fu again, wondering if it was God's will.

The war in Minyue was not going well. Wei Qing rebelled against the general of Minyue to recruit troops and went deep into the hinterland of Minyue, but there was no news of victory.It is said that during this period of time in Minyue, there were often heavy rains, and hurricanes came every now and again. Wei Qing was trapped in the mountains and forests, unable to escape, and victory was nowhere in sight.

The situation in South Vietnam was not much better.Yan An and Liang Xiao teamed up, but they still couldn't make the Nanyue monarchs and ministers bow their heads and proclaim themselves ministers. The agreement to accept the hostages could not be reached for a long time, and the emperor was about to lose confidence.If it wasn't for the war between Minyue and Vietnam, and the flood situation in Shandong was not optimistic, he might have sent Wang Hui to attack.

Several things are intertwined, and no matter who they are, they feel overwhelmed.As a close minister of the emperor, the father-in-law could clearly feel the anxiety in the emperor's heart, and he was very careful in his words and deeds, for fear that a careless word would anger the emperor and suffer an innocent disaster.

Suddenly, the emperor raised his head and looked in the direction of Jiaofangdian.

A man came in a hurry, and unlike Lang Guan, he was holding a Han Festival in his hand.

The emperor was a little surprised, and turned to look at the father Yan.The master's father Yan was also stunned, holding the Han Festival in his hand, he was naturally an envoy.But when the envoy comes back, he should first report to the Daxing Temple, and the Daxing Order will report to the emperor before he can enter the palace to meet him.Why did this emissary enter the palace directly?
The father of the master turned his head and signaled, and some officials on duty rushed over, some stood in front of the emperor, and some greeted the envoy.Seeing Lang Guan approaching, the envoy seemed to understand something, slowed down, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Chen Meigao has returned from his envoy, please see Your Majesty."

The master father Yan didn't hear it clearly, but the emperor did, his expression changed, and then his brows became happy, he pushed away the Lang Guan who was protecting him, and strode up to meet him.

"Shaoru, is it really you?"

Mei Gao rushed to the front, bowed to the end, and tears came out before he could speak. "Your Majesty, it's the minister, the minister is back."

The emperor took two steps forward, held up Meigao's hand, and looked at it carefully.Mei Gao was dark and thin, even though he had put on Lang Guan's clothes, he still couldn't conceal the wildness that was rushing towards him.His eyes are very bright, even with tears in his eyes, people can still feel his strength.

"Meigao, you've been here...why has it taken you so long, I'm still worried about you..."

Mei Gao smiled with tears in his eyes. "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. This time I went, I not only traveled all over Qiangzhong, but also went to the west of Congling, so it took a long time."

"You went to the west of Congling?" The emperor was surprised and delighted. "Then have you been to Yuezhi and Dawan?"

"Go, go." Mei Gao said repeatedly: "Your Majesty, I have seen a lot on this trip, Rong Chen took a breath and slowly told His Majesty."

"Okay, okay, let's talk in the hall." The emperor said repeatedly, pulling Mei Gao and walking towards the hall.At this moment, Guo Sheren came running from a distance, screaming all the way. "Your Majesty, it is born, Your Majesty, it is born."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, a little worried. "As the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly, but good fortune never comes together. Meigao returns safely..."

While the emperor was pondering, Guo Sheren ran to him, smiling from ear to ear. "Your Majesty... gave birth."

"What happened? Tell me!" The emperor angrily slapped him. "Your Majesty gave birth, which lady gave birth, is it male or female?"

Guo Sheren was overjoyed. "Your Majesty, both wives have given birth to two boys, what a joy."

"Both are boys?!" the emperor yelled, his eyes widened.

Guo Sheren nodded again and again, once again proving that what he said was true.

"Hahaha!" The emperor suddenly raised his hand, patted his forehead, and laughed loudly.

The master father Yan couldn't help laughing out loud.The emperor suddenly had two sons, which is a great joy.Seeing this, Mei Gao didn't know which lady it was, but it must be a good thing for the emperor to have two sons, so he quickly congratulated her.

"Quick, quick, go to Changle Palace to announce the good news." The emperor laughed a few times, finally reacted, and kicked Guo Sheren.Guo Sheren woke up like a dream, turned around and ran away.The emperor was overjoyed. "Shaoru, you brought the good news. You are my bird of good news. Come, come, tell me about the situation in the Western Regions. Today is an exception, and good fortune will come."

-

Almost at the same time, the Liang family was also full of joy. Li Rongqing gave birth to a fat boy, and the Liang family added another child.

Madam Liang sat in the hall, beaming with joy.

Liu Ling also rushed back from Maoling's manor, and now sitting beside Liang Yu, he was also smiling.To her, although Li Rongqing's identity was better than Yue Yue's, he still couldn't threaten her.Liang Xiao's heir to the title can only be her son, Li Rongqing is a concubine, and it is impossible for a concubine to give birth to a bastard to inherit the title.

Besides, she also knew that Liang Xiao's taking Li Rongqing as a concubine was originally Liang Mi's idea, and Liang Xiao himself had no special feelings for Li Rongqing.In comparison, the moon is more favored than her.

So she can show the demeanor of a big woman.

Liang Yu said happily: "Ling'er, your time is coming soon, so don't go to the manor for now. Resting in the city will be convenient for you to take care of."

Liu Ling agreed with a smile. "Thank you, Mom, for your concern."

"Xiao'er is not at home, thank you for your hard work." Liang Xiao stroked Liu Ling's hand and said with emotion: "Although I don't understand those big things, I know that Xiao'er doesn't study much and does things recklessly. If there is no smart woman like you Help, he will get into trouble sooner or later. However, women are women after all, and they can't work as hard as men, so they have to take it easy. For us, having children is the big deal."

Liu Ling said with a smile: "Aunt is right, I don't want to bother so much. When my husband comes back, I will move back and stay with Aunt every day."

"That's right." Liang Yu was very satisfied. "By the way, is there any news from Xiao'er? Did the mission go well?"

"Successful." Liu Ling said casually: "You barbarians, what can you do with your husband? Mother, don't worry, it's just that the journey is far away, and the news is not convenient. Other things are fine."

"I'm not worried about the barbarian, what can the barbarian do with my Xiao'er. What I'm worried about is..." Liang Yu lowered her voice and pointed in the direction of Weiyang Palace. "A companion is like a tiger. The more capable you are, the easier it is to attract jealousy. You husband and wife are so capable, can the one in the palace rest assured?"

Liu Ling giggled and patted the back of Liang Mi's hand. "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Although the emperor holds the power of life and death, he wants to be a wise king. If he wants to be a wise king, he has to be cautious. How can he kill people casually. By the way, mother, there is something, I want to discuss it with you."

"what's up?"

"Does mother know about Shandong Dashui?"

Liang Yu nodded.The Yellow River burst, and the story of the flood in Shandong has already spread, how could she not know.Two days ago, Tu Hua'er sent her a message. "Tell me, will this water flow to Guangling?"

"I can't say for certain, but judging by the situation in front of me, if it can't be blocked, Guangling will definitely be affected." Liu Ling sighed softly: "Jiangnan is fighting, Shandong is big and small, and the imperial court's food tax may be tight. I would like to donate some money and food to help His Majesty relieve his urgent needs, but I don’t know if my mother..."

Liang Yu understood. "You are Xiao'er buying a way out, right?"

Liu Ling pondered for a moment, and felt that although what Liang Mi said was not very pleasant, the meaning was generally not bad.There is a disaster in Shandong, and the court is in a hurry. Donating money and food is naturally to give the emperor a good impression. "My mother is right."

"If that's the case, then there's nothing to be reluctant about." Liang Wei waved her hand and said generously: "It was agreed at the beginning that once you enter the house, you will be the owner of this house. If you think it's worth donating, then donate. Don't worry too much about me, at worst, I'll just save two bites, as long as the child is not hungry."

Liu Ling smiled, bowed and bowed. "Thank you, mother. You can rest assured, with the background of my Liang family, how can I be hungry. I want to donate the income of my husband and me, and I will use a thousand gold to buy cattle and sheep in the northwest and transport them to Shandong. Disaster area. The meat can be eaten, and the skin can be used to keep out the cold. It should be able to help. However, in the name of my mother, I want to donate to Guangling Country, especially the neighbors in Qingyunli. Look, is that okay?"

Liang Yu nodded again and again. "You child, you are too thoughtful. There is nothing wrong with this. It is for me to accumulate virtue. That's okay, of course, when I lived in Qingyun, Xiao'er did a lot of harm to them. Now helping them is also considered to be repaying the debt." gone."
