Peng Baby returned to the Sichuan-Shu Army Camp outside the city with some uneasiness. On weekdays, she did not live in the palace, but in the military camp outside the city. As a female streamer, she stayed in the military camp for many years, hanging out with a group of soldiers all day long. As a princess, she likes to wield swords and guns, and stays in the army all day long. There are many such heroines in the six hundred years of the Great Qi, but now, this is the only one.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you so careless?" Peng Baby entered her tent, and a man in purple robe looked at her and asked.
Peng Baby was still thinking about Bai Fanhong. He was a little absent-minded and ignored the man in purple robe. She did not doubt the authenticity of her words of love. As the princess of Sichuan and Shu, for such a big matter, she only needed to send someone, whether in the name of the Tang clan or the king of Sichuan and Shu, to Mount Huashan to find a member of the Taiyi sect. Ask and you will know the truth.
"Hey, hey, talk!" The man in purple robe stood up and walked towards her, asking: "If someone bullies you, just tell me and see if I don't beat him until his teeth are all over the floor!"
Peng Baby looked up at the purple-robed man. He had lived in the Tang Sect for seven years when he was young, and he was considered half a disciple of the Tang Sect. The man in front of him was Tang Yunhe, the most outstanding disciple of the Tang Sect. Although they only lasted for three years, the two fell in love with each other like brothers and sisters. When Peng Baby returned to command the army, Tang Yunhe was also ordered by his master to lead a group of disciples to help the King of Sichuan and Shu. Now the brotherhood between the two is stronger than gold.
"Senior brother, should we, Sichuan and Shu, send troops to Chu and Xiang..." Peng Baby had no idea.
Tang Yunhe stepped back after hearing this and lay back on his concubine chair: "This is a matter of your Sichuan and Shu Prince's Palace, and we, the Tang Clan, cannot interfere with it. But the old lady is already destined. No matter what the Sichuan and Shu Prince's Palace decides, we will give you our fullest help." That's it." As he said that, he picked up a grape from the small square table on the side and threw it into his mouth.
"Senior brother, what time is it! Please help me come up with an idea!" Peng Baby was anxious, grabbing Tang Yunhe's legs and trying to drag him off the toffee chair.
"Hey, hey, hey! Come on, come on, I don't have many good clothes. How can I help you with advice? Then you will be relying on me again. No matter what the decision is, I will help you. Where can I find such an easy-to-talk Wulin? A sect?" Tang Yunhe tugged on his clothes, but after all, he was not as strong as Peng Baby, and he was dragged off the chair by her.
Peng Baby let go, walked back to his seat, and sat down on it: "Sichuan and Shu have relied a lot on Chu Xiang over the years, and this year's annual tribute was borrowed from Chu Xiang. Now Chu Xiang has really raised an army, but My father is afraid of this and that, which makes me a little hesitant."
"Then raise an army!" Tang Yunhe said straightforwardly.
"But...hey, even if you tell me, you don't understand."
"If you don't understand, just tell me!" Tang Yunhe said, reaching out and picking another grape, and threw it into his mouth.
Peng Baby said with a bitter face: "But if we raise the army, if nothing happens, wouldn't it affect the whole of Sichuan and Shu? Nanhuai and Donglu have already been recovered by the imperial court. Now we are fighting against the imperial court, there is really no guarantee that we can win..."
"Then we can't afford troops." Tang Yunhe's idea was extremely simple.
"If we can't afford troops now, if Chu Xiang wins, will we be able to enjoy the good fruit?" Peng Baby didn't say that he had encountered a love affair, although he was the princess of Sichuan and Shu and had the power of military and horse power in Sichuan and Shu. But being first in the world and second in the world still sounds too far away from me.
Tang Yunhe scratched his head and patted his thigh: "We still have to fight!"
"Hey, did you hear what I was saying?" Peng Baby stood up angrily, glaring at Tang Yunhe and yelled.
Tang Yunhe and Peng Baby grew up together, and they knew the temper of their little junior sister, so they said: "Look at you, you get anxious when you say it. We send troops, but do nothing. Wouldn't it be good to watch the fire from the other side? Wait until the two sides fight, and watch. That’s right, we’ll help whoever wins!”
Peng Baby's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Yes! Why didn't I think of that?"
"That brain of yours has never been put to use." Tang Yunhe said with a hint of contempt.
"Ahhhh! Don't hit, don't hit!"
Tang Yunhe's cries and howls could be heard from the commander's tent. The soldiers outside the tent only listened and looked around for a moment when the screams first started, and then ignored them. In Sichuan and Shu, there are too many things that people take for granted.
Outside Wancheng, there is the Chuxiang camp.
"Bashu has sent troops? How many troops?" Ge Cifeng couldn't suppress the joy in his heart. In the past few days, good news had come one after another, and he was a little overwhelmed.
"His Royal Highness, it is reported that one hundred thousand troops will be sent, plus more than one thousand Tang Sect disciples." The scout in the audience replied.
Ge Cifeng couldn't sit still anymore and stood up excitedly, gearing up: "One hundred thousand! One hundred thousand! Together we have an army of 300,000, and our strength is evenly matched with Zhou Ziru's! As long as Zhou Ziru is defeated, we will defeat him within five days." We can march to Jinling City and get the throne at our fingertips! Even if Beidi and Dingliao want to move their troops to come back for reinforcements, it will be too late. By then, as long as I appease them, they will still be given the position of king of the town... Hahahaha!"
Jiang Rong sneered at the side: "A thousand Tang Clan disciples? How dare you say that? It's really ridiculous. I brought ten thousand disciples of the Beggar Clan! Hmph, you are so petty!"
Ge Cifeng complimented him at the right time: "The Beggar Gang is the largest gang in the world. How can the Tang Clan compare with the Beggar Gang?" This compliment was very useful, and Jiang Rong nodded and smiled, feeling very happy.
"Your Highness, there has been no movement from Zhou Ziru since he arrived in Wancheng. The last time our army robbed food, Zhou Ziru only sent his light cavalry around to pretend to cut off his return. But should we send someone to investigate?" A very dignified man said. General Chu Xiang said in a loud voice, this man's name is Xu Tong. In terms of military merit and official position in the tent, he is the first in all matters.
After being reminded by Xu Tong, Ge Cifeng came back to his senses and slowly calmed down: "Yes, yes, yes. The imperial court has no surplus of annual tribute every year, and this year the annual tribute has been reduced. He led How dare you spend 300,000 people like this with me! Check, send someone to check immediately!"
As soon as Ge Cifeng finished speaking, the young general at the end of the team withdrew from the commander's tent. Ever since Ge Cifeng replaced Fan Shen as the head coach of Chu Xiang, he, as a forward guerrilla, has been extremely busy. But he doesn't care. He knows that the busier he is, the greater Chu Xiang's chance of winning will be, and he will have the chance to go further!
In Wancheng, the imperial military camp was opened.
"Yi Xiaodao is here? How many people are there? Where is he?" When Zhou Ziru heard the report, he stood up from his position as if he had been stabbed in the butt by a needle.
"Back to Prime Minister Zhou, a total of only 25,000 people have arrived in Wucheng. They will arrive in Wancheng in the near future."
Zhou Ziru slowly sat back in his seat. Hearing that Yi Xiaodao only had 25,000 people, he felt a little relieved: "Fortunately, there are only 25,000...Has Your Majesty ever known about this?"
"It hasn't been reported yet. I will send someone right now..."
"Slow down!" Zhou Ziru stretched out his hand to stop Tang Xingchang: "Don't rush to report to Your Majesty, let me think about it. The imperial court regained Donglu all with the help of Yi Xiaodao. He has not yet been rewarded, but now he has taken the initiative to lead troops to Wancheng. Why?"
Tang Xingchang didn't know whether Zhou Ziru was talking to himself or asking himself, so he didn't dare to answer for a while.
"It must be for her! Oh, I thought he was such a great man, but after all, a hero is still a beauty! Don't rush to inform Your Majesty, his coming here is also a big help. And to say something sad, if we really make a mistake, Wouldn't it be good to let Yi Xiaodao take the blame?"
When Tang Xingchang heard the "mistake", he remembered that he had not paid attention a few days ago and escaped from Ge Cifeng. I'm glad that Zhou Ziru didn't care, otherwise, how could he be here? But Tang Xingchang still hesitated: "But your Majesty... After all, Yi Xiaodao is a popular person in front of your Majesty..."
"It won't be the case soon. The three kings of the north have always only guarded the borders and ignored the affairs of the Central Plains. King Xigui has nothing to worry about in that barbaric land. As long as Chu and Xiang are defeated this time and Sichuan and Shu are shocked, the world will be at peace. ! Yi Xiaodao can only rest on the credit book of Nanhuai and Donglu. In a few years, he can be beaten back to a beggar by just picking an ordinary crime! "
Zhou Ziru was not afraid that Tang Xingchang would hear that. As the Minister of Literature of Daqi, he wanted to revitalize Daqi and revive the prestige of the Zhou family. A beggar who happened to have good luck was really not in Zhou Ziru's eyes. When the world is at peace, Yi Xiaodao will be useless and nothing to be afraid of!
"One more thing, Prime Minister Zhou..." Seeing that Zhou Ziru had "enlightened" him, Tang Xingchang hesitated to tell another "bad news".
"Speak." When Zhou Ziru saw Tang Xingchang's hesitant expression, he knew it was not a good thing. You can't miss good things, and you can't miss bad things, because you don't know which detail you haven't noticed is the point where you lose everything.
Tang Xingchang said: "The King of Sichuan and Shu raised one hundred thousand troops, and more than a thousand Tang disciples, led by his daughter Peng Baby, have left Sichuan..."
Zhou Ziru took a deep breath, said nothing, and waved to Tang Xingchang. Tang Xingchang knew that Zhou Ziru needed to think about it, so he left the tent without disturbing him.
Zhou Ziru counted the days with his fingers and muttered: "Counting the days, it's time to arrive..." As soon as he finished speaking, there was a noise outside the door. Zhou Ziru came out of the military tent after questioning, and saw Tang Xingchang leading a group of soldiers, surrounding three men in black on horseback, and a conflict was about to break out.
"Stop, you three come in." Zhou Ziru stopped both parties.
When Tang Xingchang saw that it was someone Zhou Ziru knew, he put the sword back into its scabbard, glared at the three of them, and strode away.
After the three people entered the account, Zhou Ziru looked at everyone: "As a secret guard, are you too ostentatious?"
"Master, forgive me, I was waiting for the news and came in a hurry, but I was negligent for a moment." The three of them knelt down in unison.
"Well, war is unavoidable. Let me tell you something. Now go to the mountains to the east of Wancheng and bring a woman named 'He Yue'er' to the military camp. Remember, if she makes the slightest mistake , you pay with the heads! Also, 'Yu' has been a little restless recently, so give it a beating." Zhou Ziru stared at the three of them and said.
There was no disturbance among the three of them. After hearing Zhou Ziru's last word, the three of them mysteriously disappeared from the spot, as if they had never existed.
Zhou Ziru leaned on the chair, closed his eyes and rested: Yi Xiaodao is here, there is a good show to watch.
In the capital, in the imperial palace.
Zhao Yizhi's spiritual consciousness has extended to the outside of Wancheng, encompassing the entire Daqi imperial military camp. The moment Zhou Ziru closed his eyes, Zhao Yizhi opened his eyes, clenched his fists with both hands, and then loosened them weakly...
