Prince Han Sien

Chapter 147

Two princes were imprisoned, one prince was brainless, and the only heir apparent was far away in the western border. The emperor's worries were justified.Fortunately, although the battle in the western border was not smooth, after Ji Luo arrived at the border, it really boosted the morale of the western border army as they expected, and ignited the emotions of the soldiers in the western border of the Great Zhou Dynasty. What's more exciting?

However, the situation on Dazhou's side also stimulated the soldiers on the border of Xirong to make a crazy counterattack.After Ji Luo arrived in the western border, he had a tentative fight with the Xirong army.

Hu Yanlu, the leader of the Xirong army, was also a little miserable.The reason why Xirong sent troops this time was indeed due to civil strife as Han Sien thought.

Hu Yanlu of Xirong is considered to be stealing chickens this time. He originally took advantage of the poor health of the king of Xirong and his brothers were all looking at the capital of Xirong. He secretly sneaked into the border and wanted to develop in the army. own people.Who knew that just after he was making a living in the borderland, he met Han Sien, a Rakshasa of the Great Zhou, and everyone knew his identity by playing up his identity.

He originally wanted to confuse Ji Huai, seize him as an excuse, and want to create some civil strife for Da Zhou, so that Xi Rong and his brothers would not focus on him.Unexpectedly, although Ji Huai was at odds with Han Si'en, he was not fooled by his cautious nature.

In addition, Wu He's wrist was injured, and Wu He was a strong candidate to support Hu Yanlu. Now that the news of his wrist injury spread, he was caught by Hu Yanlu's other brothers and forced to transfer Wu He from the Western Region back to Xirong The capital is gone.

Then, in order to add obstacles to Hu Yanlu, all forces took advantage of the opportunity of Wuhe's injury to insert a knife in the western region.The eldest and second princes of Xirong were afraid that Huyanlu would have other connections with Dazhou, so they simply did not do anything, so they installed people to make trouble, and directly fought with Dazhou over a small matter, which was considered to have cut off Huyanlu's retreat .

However, although Hu Yanlu's affairs at the border were not going well, but now, he has no way out.Hu Yanlu simply took this opportunity to prepare to completely control the army in the western region, so when the two armies were in a stalemate, he kept gritting his teeth and persevering, because he had no way out, and neither did Ji Luo.

Hu Yanlu's greatest hope at this time is that King Xirong's body can persist until he makes meritorious service.

No matter what Hu Yanlu wants to do and how to stand up, Ji Luo is sure that if this person wants to ascend to the position of King Xirong in this life, it will definitely be more difficult than in his previous life.After all, in the previous life, the Xirong West Frontier Army secretly supported Hu Yanlu, but this time it became clear that so much power was consumed. The most important thing is that he will use the greatest strength to hold Hu Yanlu.

After arriving in Xijiang, Ji Luo breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly sent these detailed notebooks to the capital.What Ji Luo expressed in the notes was arrogance and confidence.

After receiving Ji Luo's note, the emperor felt very happy, and the gloom in his heart was temporarily covered by these bright things.The civil and military officials in the court also followed the emperor's wishes and praised the prince's bravery.

However, there are also some people who are interested in discovering that the emperor did not mention the missing soldiers in Xijiang. There are two reasons why they did not mention them. Second, those people may have been arrested or died, so it is best not to mention it at this sensitive time.

No matter what the situation is, it may be a good thing for some caring people, and it is a good opportunity.

The situation in Xijiang continued to spread from Xijiang to the capital like snowflakes. Although it was a battle report, it was out of date when they knew it, but the emperor was still terrified every day watching it.

Xirong's Huyanlu and Ji Luo must have torn their faces, and the methods they used have changed from an upright war to a shady method with all their talents. The battle report sent to the capital said that today Xirong poisoned the water source of Dazhou, and tomorrow It was Da Zhou who used the wind and fire to burn Xirong's food, grass and war horses.

There are endless means of coming and going, which makes people dazzled. Fortunately, after such a means, Ji Luo was not injured, and she still stood upright in the army of Xijiang, becoming a bright spot in the eyes of the Xijiang army. shine.

Every day the emperor summoned people from the Ministry of War to discuss the war, and Han Si'en, who was weaker than civil servants, was among them.The Ministry of War and the emperor agreed that if this continues, the victory of the Great Zhou will be much greater than that of Xirong.

Due to the obstruction of several princes in the capital, Xirong suffered a severe shortage of supplies in the rear of the border. This is Huyanlu's biggest disadvantage. As long as they survive the interruption of their supplies, it will be the moment of victory for the Great Zhou.

After the analysis, the emperor felt a little proud for a while, thinking that Xi Rong has always been thick-skinned, and from time to time used small plots to harass the border. If Ji Luo leads the army to scare them this time, then he, the prince, can also be left in the history books. Make a heavy stroke.

The emperor's thinking is also the thinking of most of the ministers. They fight fiercely among themselves, but they are also happy that Da Zhou can win the battle. As for how to distribute the credit after the victory, they will definitely seek the best interests for themselves. But that's their internal affairs.

In the next two months, Xi Rong and Da Zhou each had victories, but overall, Da Zhou had the upper hand. After Xi Rong's supply was completely cut off, Ji Luo led people straight into Xi Rong's territory and captured three cities. victory.

After the news reached the capital, everyone rejoiced.

Amid everyone's excitement, Han Si'en was the only one who remained silent.Because there was no news about Bai Wenhan's left front army, and there was no mention of Bai Shu in the battle report sent by Ji Luo.

Bai Shu's martial arts are so strong, if he appeared on the battlefield, he would kill a few Xirong's heads with one blow. After so many days, even if Ji Luo deliberately concealed it, Bai Shu would never lose his reputation.

The soldiers like the most brave people, they admire heroes.

The only thing that can be said about Bai Shu's current situation is that he secretly went to find Bai Wenhan, and he never found him.

This kind of thing can't be hidden, and Huyanlu will definitely send someone to look for Bai Wenhan in order to have another way.Let's see who finds the person first.

If Bai Wenhan and his group were caught by Xi Rong, it would be another change for Ji Luo.Ji Luo didn't intend to get involved with Bai Wenhan too much in this life, but Bai Wenhan was like a thorn embedded in his flesh and blood, and he couldn't ignore it.

Of course this is the worst case.Although the emperor knew that Ji Luo valued Bai Wenhan inexplicably, and even saved Bai Wenhan, he thought that Ji Luo only admired Bai Wenhan's innocence, and didn't know the messy relationship between Ji Luo and Bai Wenhan in his previous life, so the emperor instinctively ignored it. Bai Wenhan, who is still missing.

In the eyes of the emperor, there are no immortals at the border.Bai Wenhan is also a human being, he will be rewarded when he dies.

During Ji Luo's third month in Xijiang, the things that Han Sien cared about appeared like reincarnation.On this day, the battle report from Xijiang was sent to the capital in an expedited [-] miles as usual. The emperor was very happy to open the booklet. He thought this time it was a great news, after all, Xirong had reached a desperate situation at this time.

Their products are not abundant, and their supplies are insufficient. It is not easy to support them until now. Sometimes the emperor can dream that Xi Rong surrendered to Da Zhou.

But this time the report is not good news. The report was submitted by Liu Hucheng, to the effect that when the crown prince led people to hunt down Huyanlu in Xirong, they found traces of Bai Wenhan and others in Luofeng Mountain in Xirong. At the same time, the Xirong people also discovered these people.The hiding distance of Bai Wenhan and others is relatively close to Xirong.

On the one hand, the prince asked Liu Hucheng to report the matter, on the other hand he insisted on going to save people.After Liu Hucheng heard the news, he immediately led his troops to rescue people, but when they arrived at the accident site, they didn't see the prince and Xirong's Hu Yanlu at all.

Liu Hucheng had no choice but to search carefully while writing notes to go to Beijing.

As for the follow-up, it is currently unknown.

After the emperor saw this note, he immediately became short of breath and coughed.The sound of the needle falling could be heard quietly above the main hall. After coughing for a while, the emperor put the booklet on the person who came to report the letter, blushing, and said: "Tell Liu Hucheng if the prince cannot be rescued, I will Ask him to bring his head to see."

The person who delivered the letter hurriedly kowtowed in response.

The emperor glanced at Yuan Bao, Yuan Bao shouted and retreated.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty looked at each other and left silently. Han Sien did not go back to his residence, but went to visit the emperor.

After the emperor retired, he went directly to the imperial study. Seeing his cough, Yuan Bao hurriedly sent for the doctor Zhou.When Han Sien went, the imperial physician Zhou was feeling the emperor's pulse.

Physician Zhou prescribed several medicines for the emperor, and carefully instructed Yuan Bao, implying that the emperor was angry and must not be hurt.

Yuan Bao just wanted to smile wryly after hearing what the doctor Zhou said. The prince's life and death are unknown, so how could the emperor not worry about it.

After Doctor Zhou left, Han Sien looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, General Liu's note was written when he went to save the prince. There are such a few days' distance from Xijiang to the capital. At this time, General Liu should have written The person has been rescued, so the emperor need not worry too much."

The emperor shook his head when he heard this, and the spirit of the previous days was gone, and he said wearily: "You heard it too, the prince entered the territory of Xirong, if there is really news about Bai Wenhan and others , if Hu Yanlu deliberately set a trap, then the crown prince may not escape this time."

Han Si'en lowered his eyes and said: "Since the crown prince dares to chase after Xi Rong, then this place must have been controlled by Xi Jiang. Hu Yanlu only has so many troops in his hands, and almost none of them have been consumed these days. of."

"I hope so." The emperor said, and then he was silent for a while: "Han Si'en, do you think I should send an envoy to the capital of Xirong now before the situation gets worse?"

Hearing this, Han Si'en didn't even move his face. He said calmly: "The emperor is worried about the prince's thoughts, but I understand, but sending an envoy at this time means asking for peace. If something goes wrong, the opportunity will be lost, not to mention that the reason why the prince entered Xirong so directly at the border is because he does not want to change the border in the future. Your majesty, why not wait a few more days and make a decision after you have definite news from the prince. "

The emperor looked at Han Sien's calm appearance, and his heart also calmed down. He thought that he was a little dazed.Now, the most unruly thing is him, the emperor.

Thinking of this, the emperor sat up straight, looked at Han Si'en and said, "Marquis Wan'an listens to the order."

Han Si'en stood in front of the emperor, and the emperor squinted his eyes and said: "The crown prince's whereabouts are unknown now, and the situation in the capital will definitely be turbulent, I want you to always pay attention, if you find someone who has a different heart, no matter who it is, you will take him down. "

Han Si'en said: "This humble minister obeys the order."

Ji Luo's whereabouts were unknown, and the court was stable at first, but after half a month, people became a little restless.Everyone was thinking that after so long, the prince might not be well.

Then someone thought that if the prince was gone, who would be able to sit in that position among the princes in the capital.At this time, the only innocent eldest prince in the capital became a real favorite.

And the first one who couldn't help but move was the Korean government. The Korean government wrapped the letter in steamed buns and prepared to send it to Ji Huai who was under confinement through various tortuous relationships such as its own shop.

It's just that before the steamed buns were delivered to Ji Huai, Han Si'en brought someone there.
