Nanliang is located to the south, and it is like spring all the year round. There are often rainy seasons in summer and the air is humid.
It happened to rain yesterday, and the rain was fierce, and the ground was still wet in the morning.
In the side hall of Kunning Palace, the maids gathered together and talked in a low voice: "Have you noticed that the atmosphere in the palace is wrong recently?"
Younger doubts: "What's wrong?"
"Once the princess fell ill in the past, several princes rushed to see her, but there was no movement in the past two days."
"I think it was because of the war. Didn't it mean that General Qin personally led the troops on the expedition? He is the pillar of our beams. He has gone, and the situation must be very serious."
"I'm just worried about this..."
"What can I worry about then? With General Qin here, ten more strategies are definitely not our opponents!" The little girl must have grown up listening to the story of General Qin on the battlefield and mentioned him. , The eyes are unstoppable worship.
The older palace lady wanted to say something, and the little girl comforted: "Sister, don’t worry too much. Four years ago, I was beaten by General Qin and ran home crying. This time there is a general, and I will not Let him get involved in the main beam."
They had just finished talking here, and suddenly they saw a few people hurriedly walking in. The leader had a solemn expression, and it was Yinglu, Empress Liang’s personal maid.
The two hurriedly stood on one side and bowed to salute. The woman looked cold and didn't even look at them. She walked over.
The little girl said happily: "Look, the queen is not sending someone to see the princess."
Princess Xiansheng is the third daughter of the current queen, and the only princess of the beam imperial family. According to the custom of ranking the royal princesses and princes separately, she is the beaming princess. Although she is the eldest princess, she is the youngest child. There are two brothers with the same parents and two half-brothers. They are the most favored. The only regret is that Xian Sheng has been born since he was a child. It was very bad. He took three steps and had two breaths. As long as the temperature changed, the wind would be cold, and the tonics continued throughout the year. He did not see any improvement. He grew up completely in a medicine jar.
There was a bitter medicine smell in the room in the hall. Before Yinglu entered, she heard a depressed cough from inside. She paused, and said solemnly: "All are waiting outside."
When she walked in by herself, she saw the thin princess wringing her eyebrows and drinking the bitter medicine from the bowl.
"Auntie." Xian Sheng's personal maid saluted her and looked behind her subconsciously. Yinglu said, "Don't look at it, the queen is not here."
She walked over, Xian Sheng drank the medicine and contained a candied fruit. Her face was pale and her lips were not bloody, but it was precisely because of her pale face that her eyelashes and hair became darker and watery because of coughing. Her eyes are pierced, and the corner of her left eye is a needle-like black tear mole. It is a beauty that even a woman can’t help her heart beat. It’s a pity that this princess has died young since she was born. I grew up all by taking medicine.
"Princess." She blessed herself and said: "The queen has an order, please clean up and get ready to get on the carriage."
Xian Sheng looked at her, Ruyi asked the host, "What happened?"
"General Qin died in battle." She disregarded the wishful discoloration of her face, and said, "Under the hands of the Northern Jin prince, she couldn't make three moves."
As soon as he said this, Xian Sheng's expression finally changed, he coughed again, and Ruyi hurriedly supported him: "Princess..."
Xian Sheng stopped her panic and said, "The queen let me go alone?"
"Princess Qing will be with you." Yinglu's eyes were firm, and said: "I will also lay down my life to protect the princess."
Ruyi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty and the Queen are not leaving?"
"The news that General Qin was beheaded was sent back by your majesty’s confidant. The people don’t know it yet, but at most tomorrow, this news will spread to every corner of Dadu. According to speculation, the Northern Jin army will be in three days. Arrived under the city of Dadu, General Qin had already taken away most of the army a month ago. At the moment, most of the defenders were less than 20,000, but there were hundreds of thousands of troops in the Northern Jin Dynasty. In the case of a number of advantages, we insist on a maximum of three days."
"Where are the reinforcements?"
"Unless... Qin Yi of Stinging Dragon City is willing to support, but it will take at least 15 days for them to arrive. We won't be able to hold on to that time." Qin Yi is Qin Tao's son, and this Qin Tao has been professing himself to be a leader for all these years. The pillars of the pillars became stronger and stronger, completely disregarding the royal family. His son was even more terrible. He was driven out of the capital because of a dispute with the prince Xian Shang. In just a few years, he actually seized a city privately and gave it back. The city was renamed "Sting Dragon", as if it had a posture of self-reliance as a king.
But Qin Tao said that he was a rebellious son, but he hadn't moved in private. He was in control, and the royal family could only let him be arrogant.
It can be said that Daliang has reached the current situation and cannot get rid of the relationship with this general.
Xian Sheng said again, "Where are the emperor brothers?"
"The prince was seriously injured and could not get out of bed. The second prince was captured by Zhanzhen, and his life and death are unknown. Now only the third and fourth princes remain. ."
"The matter has reached such a point..." Ruyi looked at Xian Sheng subconsciously, his brows stunned and lips pressed tightly. Yinglu urged again: "Princess, the carriage is ready, please get on the horse as soon as possible. Once there is a big chaos in the city, if you leave at that time, you will definitely leak the trace."
"I'm also a member of the Liang Dynasty royal family, I can't go."
"You are a princess!" Ying Lu was anxious: "You will always marry in the future, you are not a member of the royal family!"
Xian Sheng insisted: "If my brother doesn't go, I won't go."
"Naturally they can't go! They are the princes of beams, they are the iron-blooded men of beams, no matter what the beams are, they will fight to the last minute!"
Xian Sheng couldn't help but smiled: "The princess has been doing it for a long time, and even you have forgotten my true identity."
Yinglu suddenly remembered something, her eyes were distressed, and she said: "Princess... It is precisely because of your identity that you can escape. You are the only bloodline that your majesty can keep. His sons, he can't. Because all the sons in the world are bleeding and sacrifice, he can't selfishly let his son run, but you... can't carry your hands on your shoulders, you are his daughter, you can go."
Xian Sheng shook his head weakly. Because of his body, he was very quiet on weekdays, so he could not speak as much as possible. Xian Sheng also understood what she meant, and fleeing with the identity of a princess, he could still preserve the last bloodline of Liang.
"Since I was young, I have been able to survive and survive the grace of my father and the emperor. It seems that I exist only to make the father and the queen and the queen scared. Until now, I want to accompany them to the last moment of the beam."
Yinglu flicked a dark light across her eyes and moved her fingers slightly, but Xian Sheng could already see through her thoughts: "Even if you stun me, I won't live long after I'm out of the city."
He coughed again, his snow-white cheeks were filled with sickly blush, Yinglu pursed his mouth, "This is the queen's order, the saint has something to say, the parents' orders must not be violated, the princess..."
Xian Sheng shook his head again, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and said, "I will go to see the father in person."
After a pause, he said again: "From today, I want to be a prince upright."
On the second day, the news of Qin Tao's death spread throughout the city. Everyone is in danger. Everyone knows that Liang has reached the moment of life and death. At the same time, a news came out: "Have you heard? Princess Xian Sheng will also be on the battlefield."
"Isn't that a small disease? Did she go up to make trouble?"
"She insisted on saying that she was a prince, and she wanted to fight for the beamer to the last minute. Hearing that her Majesty was helpless, she agreed to let her pretend to be a man."
"Although it is indeed a good thing to say that women will not let the beard and eyebrows, but now the big beam is like this, if I say, she will also add chaos when she goes, it is better to surrender..."
As soon as these words came out, the hot-blooded man immediately furious: "I bah! My Princess Liang is going to go to the battlefield in person, you a big man actually said such a thing! Shameless! I have already signed up to join the army, if the Northern Jin army is coming to the city. , I will bear the brunt of my life and sacrifice my life for the country. Even if I die, I will never become a dog!"
"Brother don't get too excited, what he said is not unreasonable, that Zhan Lue was only eighteen years old, and he really cut the pillars of my pillar in three strokes. You said that a female generation like a princess is very weak. What else can she do but die for nothing?"
"No matter what! You can't grow other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige!!"
…
Now that the great beam is about to destroy the country, the people are a little bit reluctant to say anything, but no one has the mind to manage, because the northern Jin army marched really fast, and in just three days, they came to the city. The 150,000 army was so powerful that it soon surrounded most of them in an airtight manner.
The sturdy and regular army made the Liang people feel terrified, but the Liang people had their own character, and under the fierce fighting spirit of the Northern Jin army, they did not even retreat. The three princes of Nanliang and the fourth princes rode their horses together. Get out of the city and face it personally.
The red cloak was lifted by the wind, and the young man on the horse squinted his eyes to look forward. He had a handsome face with an unparalleled arrogance and coldness in his expression, as if the world was under control, but if you look carefully, it will It can be seen that although he is proud, he has not underestimated the enemy.
The wind screamed, Zhan Zhen did not personally go to the battle, but in just two years, he went down to the twenty cities of Nanliang. A month ago, he killed Qin Taotao in three strokes and demolished the backbone of the beam. This made him An unshakable prestige has been established in the army, as long as there is him behind, the soldiers will fight against the waves.
"The prince needn't be too cautious. There are only less than 20,000 people left in the Nanliang regular army.
"I heard that in most cities, many men spontaneously joined the army to serve the country, and the actual number of people participating in the war was more than 20,000."
"What about joining the army in an emergency?" Military strategist Feng Chen smiled: "It's just a mob. I'm in the 150,000 regular army. Is it possible that I can still be timid?"
Zhan Zhen stared at the front, his expression gradually becoming solemn. Feng Chen glanced at him sideways and felt that His Royal Highness was making a fuss, but he could understand that four years ago, the 14-year-old prince really didn’t put anyone in his eyes. The country went on an expedition and was played as a monkey by Liang Guo and Qin Tao. The first battle was defeated miserably. Nearly 8,000 soldiers died. There was also a general. The general was his Taifu. He was beheaded by Qin Tao in order to save his life. He was held by Liang people with a spear and stuck in the tower to demonstrate for dozens of days.
The newborn calf suffered from the great loss of the tiger. In addition to shame and hatred, he also learned to be cautious, but now Zhan Zhen has grown from a small calf to a real tiger. Feng Chen believes that if he is still so cautious, It's a little bit angry.
But in the end it was his own prince, Feng Chen thought so in his heart, but did not express himself.
Zhan Zhen said: "Can you see the enemy's formation?"
"Formation?" Feng Chen raised his eyebrows after hearing it, and said, "It seems that there is a real rule."
But no, there are obviously many people who killed together in front of the Jin army, but when you look carefully, you can find that Liang Jun’s people sometimes run, sometimes make a sudden stop, and sometimes shoot at the same time. These people seem to be a group, with the same one. General consciousness.
Three days later, in the Jin State Camp, several generals were looking at the sullen Prince in front of His Royal Highness, "In the past few days, three thousand people have died and five thousand are injured, but Liang Guo... the death toll is not the same. To a thousand."
Feng Chen didn't dare to be careless at this moment, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said: "Could it be Liang, is there any expert behind it?"
"His Royal Highness, if we don't fight, we can consume them. Most of them now can't even fly in. We just need to besiege the city. When they are exhausted, we can only get out of the city."
"The spies are here to report that Qin Yi, who is in charge of guarding Ming Customs, is already on his way back. He has money and food on hand, and he has a lot of troops. If we continue to wait for consumption, Qin Yi will arrive with reinforcements when he arrives. It's even harder to fight. That kid is Qin Taotao's most proud son."
"Qin Yi had a conflict with the Liang imperial family. Now that Ming Customs is changed to the Stinging Dragon City, he has obviously become the emperor of the earth and has also sealed himself as the city lord. Has he really come to help the Liang?"
"But our Royal Highness... After all, Qin Taotao was killed, and this news reaches his ears, can he not take action?"
Everyone said a word to me, and at the same time looked at the first young coach: "What do you think of your Highness?"
"This time, Liang Jun's formation is ever-changing, and I can't figure it out at all. It's like someone looking at the overall situation, judging the situation, and adapting to the situation."
"You mean, someone has been watching the battle between the two armies?"
"Exactly." Zhan Zhen said: "Gu noticed that someone in the tower took a flag. Every time the enemy changed, that flag would move."
"You mean... That expert is in the tower?"
Someone exclaimed: "This makes sense. That person must be able to see the changes between the two armies and react in time. It's no wonder that Liang Jun is so unified. I think it's what kind of formation, it turns out. Someone is commanding from the tower!"
"This person does not know what a masterpiece is."
Zhan Zhen said: "Martial arts are not necessarily high, but few people are smart."
"How is your Highness going to respond?"
"Tomorrow will call for war as usual, and I will go up to the tower to catch it myself."
Everyone screamed: "Take Ling!"
The author has something to say: Prince: Tomorrow will go to the castle tower to catch his wife=w=
