Although Liu Yunzhong left, his soldiers still surrounded Qi Ci Fang. Fortunately, there was enough food in Qi Ci Fang. He could eat for ten days and eight days without going out to buy food.
Shopkeeper Tan told his waiters to cheer up. If soldiers forced their way in, he would kill them immediately. It seemed that the more than a thousand Vietnamese soldiers outside the store were not of concern to him at all.
An afternoon passed in silence like this, and almost everyone involved knew that behind this silence was a storm; under the calm water there were often turbulent undercurrents.
Just like the Yue Kingdom at this time, the court was already in chaos.
The King of Yue learned from the princess that the three princes intended to do evil to the princes and ladies who went to her place to play, and even hurt a sister invited by Li Guogong's daughter. They were still comforting the sad princess, and another servant came to report.
, the third prince led a group of imperial troops out of the palace.
The princess knew that it must be some brothers, but she still couldn't give up and wanted to capture Yinger's master and servant.
She is also a kind girl. She has heard about the bad habits of her two brothers. If Ying'er's master and servant fell into the hands of the two brothers, they would probably be tortured to death. So the princess cried even more sadly, and she must go to the king.
to stop.
The King of Yue was also very angry, so he sent his chamberlain to tell the third prince to return to the palace as soon as possible, and he would punish him face to face. But when the maid came back, she told the King of Yue that the second prince had been kidnapped, and that the third prince had been kidnapped by a group of monsters.
Catch and take away.
The King of Yue was horrified when he heard this, and hurriedly sent an order to Emperor Fu Nianfeng to come. At the same time, he sent an order to Liu Yunzhong's city defense office to seal the city gate and rescue the two princes as soon as possible.
At home, Li Guogong also listened to Sister Li Ling's detailed account of the incident. In addition to sighing deeply, he strictly ordered the two sisters not to leave the house for even half a step. At the same time, he hurriedly discussed countermeasures with several other princes.
Prince Huo also heard the news from the spies in the palace, and knew that it also involved Duke Li Guo and his son Huo Yuan. He felt a little dizzy and felt depressed for a while, so he directly told the people in the palace that he was sick and was lying on the bed.
training.
Zhang Yankun was the first to receive the flying letter from King Wuyou, and immediately sent an order to the Qi army distributed in three places. The garrison retreated back to the city on the spot and strictly guarded the city. He took 20,000 elite troops and marched to Hangzhou overnight. At the same time, he notified Dali's
Prince Duan must send his troops to the border of Yue State the next day, march towards Yue State, and attack the city and seize the stronghold.
Zilong received the flying letter at night. After receiving the flying letter, he immediately mobilized his army and divided into two groups overnight to march to the Yue Kingdom, entering from the Wu Kingdom and entering from the Chu Kingdom.
When Wu's defenders along the way saw that they were Qi troops, they did not stop them and allowed them to pass outside the city.
Prince Yingjing of the King of Wu got the news and hurriedly sent people to catch up with Zilong to inquire. He learned that it was King Wuyou who asked Zilong to send troops to the country of Yue. He was shocked and hurriedly reported to the King of Wu.
The Prime Minister Dongfang Yin of Chu State now has the sole power, and he strongly advocates good relations with Qi State. The passing Qi army arrived at the Chu army's city defense, and the Chu army hurriedly asked the court for instructions. Dongfang Yin got the news, and directly passed the decree on behalf of the King of Chu, and all were allowed to go. At the same time, he
He mobilized the Chu army and marched towards the border of Yue State, intending to take the opportunity to invade Yue State. Then he reported the situation to Chu Wangyu. Chu Yu heard that Dongfang Yin had already made arrangements, so he stopped saying anything and took care of everything.
It was calm all night in Hangzhou. The soldiers outside Qi Ci Fang took turns to guard, holding torches until dawn. However, the King of Yue had just come to court, and the courtiers below had already come out to report: The Qi army invaded the territory of Wu State and had captured it.
One city; the Qi army invaded from the Chu region and reached the border; the Qi army stationed in Vietnam was approaching from the station towards Hangzhou, and the Yue army that blocked the city defense was defeated; Prince Dali led 30,000 Dali troops to invade the border of Yue; within the territory of Wu
The spies reported that the Wu army was massing towards the Wu-Yue border; the Chu spies reported that the Chu army was also massing towards the Chu-Yue border.
At one time, more than 200,000 troops from Qi, Dali and Wu Chu appeared on the border and within the territory of Yue. They were all targeting Hangzhou, the capital of Yue.
After hearing this, the King of Yue was so frightened that he sat on the dragon throne and stayed for a long time.
Liu Yunzhong, the defense general of Hangzhou City, reported again that the second prince and the third prince were harassing the daughter of a Qi merchant and were attacked by a fox demon. The second prince was maimed and the third prince was nowhere to be found.
The King of Yue wanted to ask Prince Huo for advice, but he heard that Prince Huo was seriously ill and could not go to court.
When asked how to deal with it, Li Guogong naturally did not want to involve his own family, so he said directly: The war on the border has resumed, and the most important thing is to calm down the border first. Li Guogong's proposal was echoed by several palace ministers.
Huangfu Nianfeng couldn't stand the second prince's lust and the third prince's arrogance and cruelty. He only said that he was a military general and only led troops to fight, but he didn't know how to deal with internal affairs.
The King of Yue was left without a master for a while, and finally the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty decided to: First, quickly send troops to fight the invading armies of Qi, Wu, Chu, and Dali from all over the country; On the other hand, he sent a letter to the King of Qi as soon as possible to ask why the Qi army led the invasion of other countries; third, he had to do a good job
Heal the second prince and find the third prince.
After retreating from the court, the King of Yue left Li Guogong and Huangfu Nianfeng behind, and took them with him to rush to Prince Huo's Mansion.
After meeting with Prince Huo, Li Guogong told the story. Prince Huo lay on the bed and said angrily: "This matter must be related to the merchants of Qi State. The Qi, Wu, Chu and Dali armies invaded. In the final analysis, it is the Qi army."
The Lord; the second prince was disabled and the third prince was caught by a demon fox, it was only because several princes provoked the female relatives of Qi Shang. The ultimate source of all these lies in that Qi Shang."
Huangfu Nianfeng asked: "Then the prince means to capture the Qi merchants, force the Qi army to retreat, and return them to the third prince?"
Prince Huo sighed lightly and said to Huangfu Nianfeng: "If we follow Marshal Huangfu's plan, I am afraid that my country will be in real danger." After that, he closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Li Guogong asked: "Then let's go find Qi Shang to resolve the grudges and calm his hatred. In this way, the Qi army will retreat, and the armies of Wu, Chu, and Dali will naturally go."
Prince Huo still closed his eyes and just nodded slightly.
The King of Yue also knew what Prince Huo meant. Seeing that Prince Huo looked seriously ill, he stopped staying for a long time. After saying a few words of good health and good health, he took Li Guogong and Huangfu Nianfeng and left.
After returning to the palace, the King of Yue asked Li Guogong and Huangfu Nianfeng what they meant. Li Guogong still agreed that peace is the most important thing; but Huangfu Nianfeng muttered: "Our newly recruited heroes from all walks of life are at Wangyue Tower. If we just give in, I'm afraid all of us will be defeated."
The army is determined to bully me. Wu and Chu are also thieves with ambitions, and they will not give up. If we do not give up in a battle with the Qi army, if we win this battle, we will definitely enhance the power of our Yue army and regain the lost ground."
The King of Yue was also unsettled. Seeing that the King of Yue was silent, Huangfu Nianfeng said again: "Qi Shang injured the second prince, and the third prince was captured by some fox demon. I'm afraid it's all Qi Shang's heresy. How about we just do this?"
He said that Qi Shang's female family member was a fox demon, so he asked the mage to do some magic to capture her and force them to hand over the third prince. Then we can make plans."
The King of Yue asked: "How sure are you? If it is true that Qi Shang is related to the prince of Qi, and the dispute has become tense, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get around again."
Huangfu Nianfeng thought for a while and said: "The heroes above our heroes have great kung fu. They dress up as mage and tell him that there is a monster in Qi Porcelain Square. Once they get in, they start to attack. I watch the kung fu of those heroes."
Those who have passed, like the Flying Bear, Iron Leopard, and Tang Zhi of the Tang Sect are all very strong masters, and they can easily deal with dozens of guys."
After hearing this, the King of Yue thought secretly. Firstly, he was concerned about the safety of the third prince. Secondly, he was also angry about hurting the second prince. Thinking that if Qi Shang was captured, it would be a good idea to rescue the third prince first. As for the emergencies at various borders, he would divide his troops to resist first.
It was okay to take a look at the situation. So he sent an order: Marshal Huangfu Nianfeng was ordered to lead his army north to attack the troops of Qi and Wu; General Huo Yuan was ordered to go west to meet the Qi army and the Dali army; Li Guogong and Liu Yunzhong were ordered to take charge
Capture Qi Shang and his demon wife, and rescue the third prince; then he repairs books with the Shu Kingdom, echoing each other, and containing the Chu Kingdom.
Huangfu Nianfeng and Li Guogong followed the order and went down separately.
At this time, at the Wuyue border, the 10,000 light cavalry army led by Zilong had already assembled. He looked at the map and calculated the distance to Hangzhou and the city defense passes along the way. While planning, a guard came to report: Prince of Wu Kingdom
Yingjing comes.
Zilong hurriedly welcomed the commander out of the tent. Yingjing and Zilong met and walked into the tent together. They went directly to the map. Yingjing said to Zilong: "I heard that the general is in a hurry to cross the border to attack Vietnam. I don't know why.
But my father heard about it and sent a decree asking me to act together with the general. So I brought five thousand light cavalry over to join the general first. There was a large army gathering behind me."
After hearing what Prince Yingjing said, Zilong hurriedly thanked the prince and thanked King Wu for his help. Zilong also knew that Qi and Wu were allies, and there was no need to be secretive about some things, so he told Prince Yingjing: King Wuyou was invaded by the Vietnamese army in Hangzhou.
Trapped in the city, they rushed to rescue him.
Yingjing asked hurriedly: "Does King Qi and the Crown Prince know about this?"
Zilong said: "We received the flying letter first. The military situation is urgent, so we sent troops first to rescue the emergency. We have already reported to the King of Qi, and we estimate that we will arrive at Lucheng in three or two days."
Yingjing also knew that King Wuyou was using troops without authorization, and Zilong and others deliberately delayed reporting. He couldn't help but secretly admired: King Wuyou really has a group of loyal generals, and I am afraid that the prince will not be able to restrain him in the future.
King Wuyou lived there. But he also knew that this was a political matter of the State of Qi and it was inconvenient for him to interrupt, so he asked Zilong about the arrangements for the use of troops this time.
Zilong told him: his 10,000 light cavalry have arrived, and now they need to rest for half a day; the other army and the follow-up army have 30,000 people, and they will arrive in the afternoon. Zhang Yankun's 20,000 elite troops have captured a city and are moving forward.
Advancing. Dali's army has also begun to gather at the border and is expected to launch an attack today.
Yingjing nodded after hearing this and said: "Since it is Prince Qi Si who is trapped, I can't just sit back and watch, not to mention that my father has a purpose, so I should do my best. My five thousand light cavalry are at the disposal of the general, and there are 20,000 troops behind me.
, we will be here soon. If reinforcements are needed, I will dispatch troops and horses from various places.
Zilong thanked him repeatedly and said with a smile: "Thank you very much, Prince Yingjing. If I have the prince to help me, I will press to the outside of Hangzhou within a few days. If they treat our prince well, everything will be fine. If there is anything,
If it’s wrong, there will be a bloodbath all over the place.”
