now.
The north wind in the imperial capital howls wildly, as if expressing grief and anger, as if it is also dissatisfied with the Great Xia Empire for sending Sima Mei to the Sirius Empire for marriage!
The goose-feather heavy snow fell crazily, leaving deep snow on the official road, as if it wanted to block the way of the wedding procession!
"Woooooooo..."
The sound of farewell brass horns sounded at the west city gate, which made people's hearts heavy!
In front of the city gate.
Sima Mei, dressed in a red princess wedding dress, slowly prostrated herself in the snow: "Father, life or death is uncertain at this time, and we may never see each other again. Please take care of yourself, father!"
Sima Jian leaned down and helped Sima Mei up from the snow. He looked at his beautiful daughter and said softly with reluctance: "Father has only one request. No matter how bad the situation is this time, you Save yourself first, remember?”
"My daughter remembers it!"
Sima Mei's eyes turned red: "My daughter is unfilial, let's go!"
At this time.
Sima Jian's lips moved slightly and he said softly: "Remember, after arriving in Huangzhou, everything will be subject to the arrangements of His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"News has just come from Huangzhou. Emperor Tianlang continues to send more troops to Tiandiaozhou. A war is just around the corner. Be careful!"
"yes!"
Sima Mei nodded softly: "My daughter knows!"
She said with some worry: "Father, the Heavenly Wolf Emperor is good at fighting, and the Heavenly Wolf army is an invincible army that is rampaging across the continent. This time the Heavenly Wolf Empire devotes all its strength to attack, can Huangzhou stop it?"
"It must be blocked!"
Sima Jian looked solemn: "If you lose, you will die!"
“You can only live if you win!”
"My daughter understands!"
A glimmer of light flashed in Sima Mei's eyes, as if she had made some kind of decision: "If Huangzhou loses, my daughter will follow Lan Mei to meet underground. If we win, we sisters will come back together to honor our father!"
"Why......"
Sima Jian sighed: "Mei'er, do you really want to die with him?"
"yes!"
"Father, where is the private army hidden by our Sima family?"
Sima Mei lowered her voice and asked, "Can't we go to the deserted state to fight?"
Sima Jian shook his head: "They have other combat missions!"
"Father has handed over the military power to your brother-in-law, the prince, and he has been assigned to another place..."
Sima Jian spoke vaguely, and Sima Mei didn't ask any more questions: "My daughter is gone!"
"Princess Mei, take off!"
The Daxia envoy in front of the sedan got on his horse, raised his hands on the horse and said goodbye: "Prime Minister Zuo, gentlemen, I will accompany Princess Mei on her mission to the Sirius Empire. We will not see each other again. I hope you will take care of yourself!"
"Farewell!"
"Take care of yourself!"
Sima Jian led all the courtiers to salute: "Send the princess away!"
Sima Mei's motorcade set off, heading west in the white snow, with endless tragedy!
On the tower.
Behind Emperor Xia stood Eunuch Wei. Watching Sima Mei's motorcade go away, he sighed with complicated eyes: "Old man, time flies so fast... It's already the twenty-first year of Kaiyuan of Great Xia. !”
"yes!"
"Time flies so fast!"
Eunuch Wei knew that Emperor Xia wanted to talk to him: "The time for the Sirius Empire, the Barbarian Empire, and the Black Man Empire to attack us is getting closer and closer!"
"Your Majesty, I want to go to the frontier to fight!"
"You can't leave!"
Emperor Xia shook his head: "I need you to sit in the imperial capital and deter those young people who want to benefit from the chaos!"
"yes!"
Eunuch Wei looked complicated.
At this time, Emperor Xia asked with complicated eyes: "Have the memorials sent back by the second, third, and fifth children been verified?"
Eunuch Wei hurriedly replied: "The Imperial City Department has verified that today's Huangzhou is indeed short of food and clothing. Many refugees have frozen to death. There are also many refugees who have become bandits in Huangzhou and often attack the government offices under the Huangzhou Prince's Palace. Make Huangzhou a mess!"
"Although no large-scale riots have broken out in Huangzhou these days, the situation is still worrying!"
The more he listened, the deeper Xia Emperor's frown deepened: "Has the situation improved since the prince returned to Huangzhou?"
"have!"
"His Royal Highness the Prince strangled many bandits after returning to the wilderness. He personally organized military training to prepare for a decisive battle with Emperor Sirius when the ice and snow melt!"
"It is said that the imperial concubine has also trained a female army and is preparing to go to the battlefield!"
"Why......"
Emperor Xia's worry became even greater: "Can Huangzhou block Emperor Tianlang's attack this time?"
"able!"
Eunuch Wei's face was full of seriousness!
"You do have confidence in the prince!"
Emperor Xia stretched his hand out of the city tower and let the cold snowflakes fall on his palm: "Old man, why do you dare to bet that the prince will win?"
"What if he loses?"
"Your Highness cannot lose!"
"Why?"
"Because on the day of the defeat of Huangzhou, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dies in battle, Daxia will be in danger of destroying the country!"
"Therefore, His Highness the Crown Prince must not be defeated!"
"Huangzhou must not be defeated!"
"call......"
Emperor Xia looked to the west, exhaled heavily, and said with complicated eyes: "It is my decree that the national war is about to begin. The materials needed on the front line must be transported before the war and must be handed over to the border troops. Anyone who dares to mess up the matter will be executed. No forgiveness!"
"yes!"
"Also, are there any battle reports from Heiman Pass?"
"have!"
Eunuch Wei took out the memorial from his wide sleeves: "Heiman Pass is still firmly in our hands. The Black Man Empire has stationed 500,000 troops in front of the pass and is preparing to forcibly attack Hei Man Pass. Emperor Hei Man vows to destroy Hei Man Pass." Take back Manguan and avenge the loss of the city and the shame of two major defeats!"
After Emperor Xia took it and looked at it carefully, he asked with some doubts: "Old man, the Qingzhou Army has achieved such a great victory, why did they attack Heiman Pass? Why didn't they withdraw to the border town?"
"I don't understand the art of war, so I can't talk nonsense!"
Emperor Xia did not blame him. He looked in the direction of the Blackman Empire. His eyes seemed to have seen through time and space, and he said thoughtfully: "Old man, let Governor Li give me a secret report... What did he want to do when he was nailed to the Blackman Pass?" do what?"
"Let me have an idea in my mind!"
"yes!"
"Also, Emperor Heiman has gathered all his elite troops in front of Heiman Pass and asked the spies from the Imperial City Department to investigate. Where is the strength of the Heiman Empire weak now?"
"Southside!"
Eunuch Wei already knew: "The Imperial City's spies have just sent back information that... Emperor Heiman has transferred all his elite southern troops to the Heiman Pass. Now, the defense in the south of the Heiman Empire is empty!"
"It's a pity that we don't have a strong navy, we don't have the power to disrupt the southern part of the Blackman Empire, and we can't reduce the defensive pressure on Qingzhou!"
"What a pity!"
Emperor Xia looked helpless: "What can I do!"
For a moment, there was silence on the tower.
finally.
Emperor Xia asked: "What has Master Xia been doing recently?"
"I have been studying the method of opening the door in front of Jixia Underground Palace!"
"No progress yet!"
Emperor Xia narrowed his eagle eyes: "Watch him, and if there is anything unusual, report it to me immediately!"
"According to the order!"
at this time.
the other side.
Northern border town.
Another food delivery team entered the city. The team was very long and there were many soldiers!
"Lord Lieutenant!"
The guard general of the border city hurriedly walked into the warm pavilion of the city tower with a solemn expression: "The sergeants who sent us food and grass this time looked a little strange. They used the heavy snow to block the road as an excuse and stayed in the city without leaving. Sir, what do you think we should do?
Li Jian didn't even raise his head: "Then let them stay!"
"What?"
The border guard general hesitated: "What if there are spies from the Northern Barbarians among them?"
"It doesn't matter!"
Li Jian continued the war game: "Don't worry, His Royal Highness has his own arrangements!"
The border guard's eyes lit up: "General, I understand!"
"Let's make arrangements now!"
"Go!"
Li Jian looked at the guard's back as he went out and narrowed his eyes!
The secret war has begun!
The war is not far away...
