Chapter 20 Chaos in the North City, Peace in the South City
Three hundred years ago, the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty who ruled Dongshenzhou suddenly died suddenly and he had no son. Therefore, the Great Zhou Dynasty was in chaos, and the legions of various places raised troops and rebelled, trying to replace him.
The turmoil lasted for decades, and the Great Zhou Dynasty did not perish. The pattern of the East Shenzhou finally stabilized, but the Great Zhou Dynasty was divided into five dynasties, and one dynasty became five dynasties. The Southern Chu Dynasty was one of them. When the Southern Chu Dynasty was established, the Southern Chu Emperor was awarded great meritorious officials and awarded twelve kings of the opposite sex. The Southern Chu Dynasty had twelve vassal states.
More than two hundred years have passed, and three of the twelve vassal states disappeared in the long river of history. Two were banned and taken back by Southern Chu, and one was annexed by Jingguo. Now there are only nine vassal states in the Southern Chu Dynasty.
Jing State was one of the nine vassal states. When he fought against the country, he had great achievements and vassal states were divided into ranks. Jing State was a third-class vassal state, with a large territory, with only six prefectures and counties in total.
Tiannan County is the southernmost county in Jingguo, one of the six major prefectures and counties. The guards of Tiannan County are naturally considered to be the chief official. The second-rank military marquis, General Wu Qi, is a famous figure in Jingguo. He is a overlord who will shake three times in the south of Jingguo.
There is some chaos in Tiannan County.
Fortunately, the war had not spread yet, the Taiwei Zhou Xian and the General Wang Tuoba Wu were still resisting the Cai army in Ruicheng. Ruicheng was not lost, and there was no large-scale escape in Tiannan County.
There were originally 15,000 troops in Tiannan County, but 10,000 was transferred by the king and only 5,000 left. In recent days, Wu Qi issued a conscription order and urgently recruited 5,000 new soldiers, and was in a hurry to train.
Wu Qi knew that this battle was related to the fate of the country. Jingguo was destroyed, and he, General Zhennan, was gone. So recently he worked hard, training the army day and night, ready to reinforce the front line at any time. At the same time, he raised various military materials and hoarded food and grass.
"Father!"
In the General's Mansion of Zhennan, a young man in armor strode into a study room. He held several letters in his hand and said with a gloomy face: "There was an accident in Huyaguan half a month ago, Nie Yang and the others were killed."
"Um?"
There was a huge desk in the study. Behind the table was a thin old man with a beard. His eyes swept over, and his sharp eyes looked like two knives. He paused for a moment and asked in a deep voice: "Who did it?"
"Li Yunyi!"
The young man was full of anger and handed the letter over and said, "Li Yunyi blocked the Huya Pass, but the news has not been spread. Recently, the Huya Pass was lifted and our talents have sent the news."
"Li Yunyi? King Yi?"
Wu Qi showed a hint of astonishment on his face, and picked up the letter and looked it carefully. He looked at the incense stick for a long time, read the letter several times before saying in a deep voice: "Are these wastes Nie Yang and Xu Xun killed by a disabled person? Li Yunyi was not dead? And he easily controlled the tiger's teeth. There was something strange here..."
"Father!"
The young general bowed and said, "Please transfer my three thousand soldiers and horses. The child will take down the Huya Pass, tie Li Yunyi and send him to Jingcheng."
"Nothing!"
Wu Qi slapped the table and said angrily: "When is it now? The Cai army is going to fight and still do whatever it takes? Wu Xing, after so many years, can't you make some progress?"
Wu Qi was furious, and Wu Xing shrank his body in fear and whispered: "Li Yunyi privately killed the military officers of the court, which violated the national law. Moreover, Huya Guan is behind us. Isn't the child trying to stabilize the rear and share the worries for the Regent?"
"There are only more than two thousand troops in Huyaguan, and they still have to shoulder the important task of guarding the Nanman Mountains. What can Li Yunyi do?"
Wu Qi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about them for now, just arrange spies to monitor closely. When the army of Cai State is repelled, the Regent will naturally deal with Li Yunyi. It's not our turn to worry about it. No matter what, it's a prince, not something you and I can move."
"Haha!" Wu Xingman muttered indifferently: "The Regent is about to ascend the throne, and Li Yunyi is a disabled prince without power and power. What is it?"
"Shut up!"
Wu Qi glared at Wu Xing and said, "You can say these words? Get out of here, don't bother to practice the new army recently. If Jingguo is destroyed, we will all be doomed."
After Wu Xing went down, Wu Qi picked up the letter and looked through it again, and then murmured: "Li Yunyi, Li Yunyi, since you are dead, why do you have to survive? Forget it, you still dare to do whatever you want in Huya Pass? Let's let you stay in Huya Pass for a while and wait until you defeat the Cai army, hum."
...
Five days later, Wu Xing hurried into General Zhennan again, and this time he still held a letter in his hand, but he did not dare to untie the letter.
"Is there something wrong?"
Wu Qi was handling official business and glanced at Wu Xing. The latter leaned over and whispered: "Father, the person below received a letter and dared not to tear it privately. I asked me to send it to you in person."
"What letter?"
Wu Qi took it and glanced. He believed that there were four words "Ling Gong's Kiss" on it. Seeing these words and the font, a cold light flashed in Wu Qi's eyes. Ling Gong is his name, and most people dare not call him that, and he is very familiar with this font.
Instead of rushing to open the letter, he asked, "The letter will come?"
"It was sent by the people from the post station." [New www.biqule.info] Wu Xing's eyes were also a little confused and said, "It is said that the postman who delivered the letter said that the above told you to demolish it yourself, and he didn't say anything else. He left after delivering the letter."
"Station?"
A suspicious light flashed in Wu Qi's eyes. The words on it look very similar to Li Yunyu's words, but Li Yunyu's previous messages were sent by specific iFlying Bats. Why did he deliver them from the inn this time? You should know that delivering them from the inn is not only slow, but also very unsafe, easy to lose, and easy to be intercepted.
Wu Qi opened the letter, and Wu Xing's body tilted slightly and saw the words on it. There were not many words on the letter, only one sentence, and the signature and seal.
"Well……"
After seeing it clearly, Wu Xing was full of surprise and suspicion. The signature was Li Yunyu and the seal was also Li Yunyu's seal. But the content of the letter made Wu Xing very confused. The letter wrote a sentence - North City is in chaos, South City is safe, urgent!
Jingguo does not have two cities, "North City" and "Nancheng". Does the Nancheng refer to Tiannan County City? Li Yunyu wrote a sentence in a foggy way. What does it mean?
Wu Qi kept staring at the letter, his eyes flashing endlessly, without saying a word.
After waiting for a while, Wu Xing was a little impatient. He frowned and asked, "Father, what does this mean? Why can't I understand? Could this be a fake letter? How could the Regent ask the people at the post station to send a letter? Didn't the Regent just send a letter a few days ago? The seal is not right. The last time it was the Regent's seal, and this time it was a private seal. Will there be any problems?"
“There is indeed a problem!”
Wu Qi stood up, paced back and forth in front of the window with the letter, murmured: "There is a big problem. Is there something wrong in Jingcheng? No... Isn't the fourth prince in Ruicheng? The general and the king didn't go back, what could happen?"
Wu Xing didn't understand even more and asked in a confused manner: "Father, what does this have to do with the Fourth Prince General? Something happened in Jingcheng? What could happen? Your Highness Yu is the regent. The king has not woken up yet. The entire Jingcheng Imperial Army guards obeyed His Highness Yu. What chaos can Jingcheng cause?"
"You know nothing!"
Wu Qi angrily rebuked and said, "How dangerous is it to fight for power and throne in all dynasties? How did Li Hongtu get to power back then? He killed all four or five brothers. His Highness Yu became the regent. Once the king of the country is the guest of heaven, he can ascend the throne directly. What would you do if you were the fourth prince?"
"What my father means is...the fourth prince secretly dispatched troops to kill the regent?"
Wu Xing's eyes shrank, and he suddenly remembered something and exclaimed: "That's right, Jingcheng is in the north, that is the north city, and our Tiannan County City is in the south, that is the south city. The north city is in chaos, the south city is in chaos - Jingcheng is in chaos, and the south city rescue can only be stable. The Regent asked us to send troops to help. Jingcheng probably has a problem. Some of the Imperial Guards may surrender to the Fourth Prince. The Regent dared not use the flying bat to send orders, for fear of being shot and intercepted, so he secretly sent his subordinates to pretend to be a postman to send a message."
“This is a possibility…”
Wu Qi's eyes flashed, and he continued to pace back and forth, murmured: "It is also possible that this letter is fake. The enemy wants to lure the tiger out of the mountain, and they want to attack Tiannan County City."
Wu Xing followed Wu Qi's words and thought, and after a moment he shook his head and said, "Father, our Tiannan County City is not important. The Cai army is still in the east, so it is impossible to attack Tiannan County City across thousands of miles. Even if the Cai army secretly sent an army to attack thousands of miles, then it should attack Jingcheng. What is the point of capturing our Tiannan County City?"
"Well, it makes sense too!"
