Chapter 1612 King Wei: Is it true that God wants to stop Chen Ran from his path?
Divine Capital City, Princess Jinyang’s Mansion——
Jia Heng calmed down after listening to the Jinyi Mansion guard's report on the matter of Bashu. He returned to the hall of the back house and was greeted by pairs of doubtful eyes.
"What's going on ahead?" Princess Jinyang asked in surprise.
Jia Heng's tone was brisk: "Pang Shili achieved a great victory in the northwest, defeated Baturhui in formation, and the crisis in the northwest was resolved."
The imperial court deployed troops on three fronts, and there have actually been rumors circulating in Beijing recently. For example, Jia Heng was assisting the government and acting in a perverse way, which led to turmoil in the country, banditry in all corners of the country, and internal and external difficulties.
Hearing this, the eldest princess of Jinyang said happily: "That is really a good news."
Princess Xianning was holding her son Jia Zhu in her arms. Under the beautiful willow eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were shining with charming autumn waves, which seemed to be filled with soft and lingering affection. She asked: "Sir, where is Bashu? Is there any good news in Bashu?" "
Jia Heng said: "On the Bashu side, Jiameng Pass has been broken. Xie Zaiyi has led his troops to Jianmen Pass. However, Jianmen Pass is towering and steep, so it may not be possible to break it in a short time."
Princess Jinyang sighed and said: "After the war in Shu is over, the world will be at peace."
Jia Heng said: "There is still some time left before the peaceful days."
Recovering Tibet and the Western Regions and shocking the barbarians is only the first step. Deploying force globally and threatening the country is the second step.
While Jia Heng was talking, he came to his son Jia Zhu, held the soft and chubby little hand, looked at his son's pink and chubby face, and said, "Come on, let daddy hug you."
As he said this, he hugged the infant Jia Zhu, feeling a bit of blood-blooded kindness in his heart.
"Call daddy." Jia Heng looked at his son whose eyes were rolling and couldn't help but call him softly.
Princess Xianning smiled and said, "Sir, he has just been a hundred days old and he still can't speak."
Jia Heng pinched his son's face, which seemed to be watery, then he held him close to Jia Jie and said: You two will meet together."
At this moment, Jia Jie looked at Jia Heng curiously, with admiration in his eyes.
Princess Jinyang tapped Jia Jie's forehead with her finger, smiled and joked: "This is your nephew."
Princess Xianning: "???"
Jia Heng: "..."
But he didn't take Jinyang's words too seriously.
Jia Heng took Jia Jie's little hand and asked him to hold it. He smiled and said, "Take good care of my brother from now on."
Li Chanyue stared at the boy in the python suit. Under her willow eyebrows, there seemed to be a bit of amusement in her eyes that were full of stars.
Just as a few people were talking, another female official came in and came quickly and said: "Your Majesty, there are detectives from Jinyi Mansion outside, saying that they have something important to do and want to see the Prince."
As soon as these words came out, the eldest princess of Jinyang looked at the young man in the python suit with a surprised expression.
Jia Heng's face was slightly surprised. Under his sword-shaped brows, his eyes were piercing and he said, "Maybe there's something wrong. I'll go over and take a look."
Princess Jinyang nodded slightly and said in a softer voice: "Go."
While Jia Heng was speaking, he didn't say much else and left the back hall again.
In the flower hall in the front yard——
Jia Heng entered the room, looked at the imperial guard in flying fish uniforms, his face paused slightly, his eyes were fierce, and he said: "Why do you want to repay me?"
The Jinyi Mansion guard looked solemn, cupped his hands and said, "Captain, there is a message from Sichuan Fei Ge from Jinyi Mansion."
When Jia Heng heard this, his face paused slightly and he whispered: "How can you say that Fei Ge is sending a message so quickly?"
The general in Jinyi bowed his hands and said: "General Jia Yun bypassed Jianmen Pass from Yinping Pass, went straight to Chengdu Prefecture, and defeated Chengdu Prefecture."
When Jia Heng heard this, he was shocked and thought to himself, today is really a double happiness.
Significant progress has been made in both Northwest China and Chengdu.
Jia Heng said, surprised, and asked: "Where is Xie Zaiyi's department now?"
"Back to the Governor, the Liao soldiers and horses have marched to Jianmen Pass for a full confrontation with the Shu army." The general of the Jinyi Mansion said with a straight face.
Jia Heng's face paused slightly, and he said without thinking: "Send a message to Xie Zaiyi's Fei Ge in Sichuan to lay siege to Jiange. The top priority is to attack the heart, and the bottom priority is to attack the city."
After hearing this, the general of Jinyi Mansion clasped his fists and said yes, then turned around and left.
After Jia Heng finished speaking, he didn't say much else and just got up.
While talking, Jia Heng stood up and left the hall, heading towards the back house.
At this moment, the eldest princess of Jinyang was sitting in the hall, instructing the maids and female officials to serve the dishes.
The eldest princess of Jinyang's face softened slightly, and under her plump eyebrows, her eyes were as bright as water, and she said loudly: "Ziyu, how is it outside?"
Jia Heng said softly: "Jia Yun came all the way from Yinping Road and captured Chengdu Prefecture. The guards of Jinyi Prefecture sent a flying pigeon message."
Hearing this, the eldest princess of Jinyang suddenly smiled on her plump and lovely face, and said: "Then the war in Bashu will be over."
A thoughtful look appeared on Jia Heng's face, and he said loudly: "It depends on Xie Zaiyi's cooperation. Now I'm worried about whether Jia Yun can stay in Chengdu Mansion."
Since Jia Yun smuggled in through a small road, it was impossible to bring too many soldiers and horses. A few thousand would be a big deal. He needed to use the original surrendered troops in Sichuan and even the local nobles who were loyal to the imperial court to maintain order.
The eldest princess of Jinyang said thoughtfully: "That's true."
At this moment, Princess Xianning said softly: "Sir, let's not talk about this for now. Let's have dinner first."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "Eat first, I will go to the palace later and inform the Military Aircraft Department and the Cabinet."
Of course, I also went to see Mopan and give her some reassurance.
At this moment, Princess Xianning said: "Sir, the war between Bashu and Bashu has come to an end. How will the court deal with Brother Wei Wang?"
After all, they are brothers and sisters who grew up together. King Chen Ran of Wei is plotting a rebellion outside. If Sichuan is pacified, the final outcome may not be good.
Jia Heng said: "Let's discuss this later."
In fact, he had never thought about how to deal with the Wei and Liang vassals. He couldn't really ignore Tianniuer and Xianning's feelings and execute them directly.
I hope they can commit suicide in shame after the defeat in Sichuan.
When I returned to Beijing, I felt embarrassed up and down.
Princess Jinyang took a pair of chopsticks and gave her son a piece of food. Then she looked at Jia Heng and said, "Okay, let's eat."
Jia Heng nodded, said nothing else, and sat down.
After finishing his meal at the eldest princess's residence in Jinyang, Jia Heng did not linger much, but went to the palace to see Zhen Qing.
…
…
Within the palace garden, Kunning Palace
Zhen Qing still didn't know that good news had come from the northwest and Chengdu Prefecture. At this moment, she was talking to Zhen Xue and her mother-in-law who came to the palace to visit relatives.
Zhen Xue's son, Shuiying, is playing around with Zhen Qing's son, Chen Jie.
Yinyin on the side turned her head and looked at the two of them with a smile on her face. Her pink and plump face was clearly full of smiles.
Zhen Xue looked surprised for a moment, and said in a soft voice: "Sister, why haven't you seen Zi Yu these days?"
Zhen Qing said: "He is busy with matters in the palace during this period, so he didn't come over."
Zhen Xue asked: "Sister, the war in Sichuan should be over."
Zhen Qing snorted coldly and said, "I'll have to ask him now."
How did he agree to her in the first place? Now the war in Sichuan has been delayed for more than a month, and there is still not much progress.
With this thought in mind, the beauty turned her head as beautiful as a waterfall, looked at the two children affectionately, and said with a smile: "Sister, these two children are not young anymore. The older they are, the more they should learn some boxing and kicking."
Kung Fu, physical fitness.”
"I'm still young now, I have to wait until I'm ten years old." Zhen Xue said with a smile.
The Prince of Beijing's family was originally a family of military commanders. Shuiying would inherit the title of Prince of Beijing in the future, so she naturally wanted to learn the art of archery.
While the two sisters were talking, a slim and graceful female official entered the hall, walked up to her, bowed Yingyingfu, and reported to Zhen Qing: "The Queen Mother, King Wei has entered the palace."
Hearing this, Zhen Qing's graceful and beautiful jade face showed a look of surprise. When she raised her head, which was as beautiful as a waterfall, her fragrant and jade-skinned face could not hide the joy, and she said: "It's really
Without talking about it."
There are a few surprises in Zhen Xue's crystal clear heart.
After a while, I saw the young man in python clothes coming from the outside and entering the hall. Under the sunlight, he looked like flawless white jade.
Jia Heng came closer and said, "I have seen the Queen Mother. She is a thousand years old."
Zhen Qing's lips were slightly parted, and her voice sounded lazily like a lady's: "Pingshen, come and watch your seat."
Jia Heng thanked him and sat down on the embroidered pier.
Zhen Qing said: "Why do you have time to come over to my place today?"
Jia Heng said: "Back to the Queen Mother, a message from the flying pigeon has just been sent from the northwest. Pang Shili, the commander-in-chief of Xining, killed Baturhui in the Quxian Guard Formation and took his head. The Junggar tribe on the Kou border should be here soon.
It will be defeated."
Zhen Qing was overjoyed when she heard this. She looked at Jia Heng and said, "Has Qu Xianwei recovered?"
Jia Heng said: "Mother, in addition to Bashu, Jia Yun led his troops to raid Chengdu Prefecture from Yinping Road and captured Chengdu Prefecture. The only soldiers in Shu rebellion are Gao Cheng from Jianmen Pass and Chen Yuan's troops are still resisting the imperial court.
Heavenly soldiers."
Zhen Qing said happily: "That's really a double happiness."
At this moment, Zhen Xue raised her head, which was as beautiful as a waterfall, and stared at the young man in the python suit with a pair of charming and flowing eyes, feeling an unstoppable longing in her heart.
Jia Heng said warmly: "Madam, once Baturhui dies, the Junggar tribe will not stay in the northwest for long. On the Bashu side, once the Chengdu Prefecture is defeated, Gao Cheng, Chen Yuan and others at Jianmen Pass have become frightened."
Hope appeared on Zhen Qing's face and she said: "If this is the case, it won't be long before the army will be in full force and the world will be at peace."
Jia Heng nodded, turned to look at the dignified and virtuous Zhen Xue beside him, and said, "Princess, long time no see."
Under Zhen Xue's beautiful willow eyebrows, her pair of bright and slightly beautiful eyes could not hide the look of longing, and said: "Zi Yu, I will bring Shui Ying over to take a look in the next few days."
Jia Heng stared at Shuiying and Chen Jie. The two little guys were indeed half-cousins. There were many similarities between their facial features.
The two sons have soft and cute faces with white and plump faces.
Jia Heng said: "Jie'er, Ying'er."
Chen Jie's eyes, which were like black grapes, rolled up and he softly called, "Godfather."
Jia Heng stretched out his hand and pinched the cheeks of Chen Jie and Shui Ying. His eyes were as warm as the sun. He chuckled and said, "You two have really grown up."
If he really waits until he grows up, if he tries to dethrone the throne again, Jie'er will resent him as his father in the future.
Yinyin stretched out her hands and said, "Daddy, I want to hug you too."
Jia Heng smiled, stepped forward and hugged his precious daughter.
Chen Jie raised his little head and said in a soft voice, "Is your godfather busy with things outside?"
Jia Heng said: "Yes, there are a lot of things going on outside."
Under Zhen Qing's slender eyebrows, her beautiful eyes with a hint of coldness could be seen flowing silently, and she said: "Prince Wei, there are some things here in the palace that I want to ask you in person."
Jia Heng turned his eyes and glanced at Zhen Qing, and immediately caught the burning meaning in those beautiful eyes burning with the fire of passion.
Jia Heng stood up and followed Zhen Qing to the bedroom, while Zhen Xue followed Zhen Qing with her face as red as drunk.
In the sleeping palace——
Zhen Qing sat on the bed hung with two light yellow curtains. Under the beauty's beautiful bun, her gorgeous face seemed to be covered with a layer of rouge, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be sucking the charm, staring at the young man in the python suit.
.
On one side of the embroidered pier covered with a mattress, sat Zhen Xue, her gentle and gentle brows filled with shyness.
When the princess was coaxing her children at home, she thought about Jia Heng day and night.
Jia Hengxing came closer, put his arm around the beauty's shoulders, and said, "Xue'er, long time no see. How are you at home lately?"
Zhen Xue's beautiful eyes were as bright as water, and she looked at them intently. Her heart was obviously full of joy, and she said: "Ziyu, during this time, I am teaching Ying'er to read and write at home."
Jia Heng said: "It's time for them to read and learn. They look quite young now."
Yinyin, Jier, and Shuiying were probably born in the summer of the 16th year of Chongping. They seem to be four or five years old now.
At this moment, Qiong, who was as beautiful as a jade beam, snorted and said, "Xueer, I haven't seen you for a while. You should spend more time with her."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will stay with you more this time."
Jia Heng talked to the two of them, and then walked towards the bed. Zhen Qing came closer, opened her cherry sandalwood mouth, and served her wholeheartedly.
Not to mention how Jia Heng, sisters Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue reunited and became obsessed with each other.
…
…
Bashu, Jianmen Pass
Three days have passed since Xie Zaiyi led the Beijing army to arrive at Guancheng and launched a tentative attack.
The Han army in the Beijing camp was still at a loss and could not advance even an inch.
In other words, given the steepness of Jianmen Pass, even red cannons and explosives cannot shake it at all.
Inside Guancheng, the hall was packed with people. Gao Cheng, Chen Yuan, Chen Ran, Chen Wei, Gao Bo, Gao Yong, and the chieftains of Sichuan gathered together to discuss the next arrangements for the defense of the city.
The soldiers and horses at Jianmen Pass are composed of three forces, one is the Shu army, the other is the White Lotus Sect, and the third is more than a dozen chieftains from Sichuan.
Gao Cheng said: "The Han army has indeed ceased its activities in the past few days. It is almost impossible to break through Jianmen Pass like it did with Jiameng Pass."
Chen Yuan sat down and looked at Gao Cheng, saying: "Brother Gao, as long as the morale of the imperial soldiers and horses becomes slack, we will have the opportunity to fight back again."
Well, now Chen Yuan is still dreaming of counterattacking against the imperial army.
Chen Ran nodded and said in a deep voice: "Currently, there is sufficient military supplies in Guancheng, enough to confront the Han army for a year and a half."
"But don't be careless." Chen Yuan showed a thoughtful look on his face and asked, "Is there any military information coming from the northwest?"
Gao Cheng shook his head and said: "There has been no military report yet. The two places are far apart and the traffic was originally isolated. However, the two armies should still be facing each other in Tibet. The two armies originally did not expect much, they just shared the burden.
It’s just the court’s attention.”
Chen Yuan nodded and said: "Now we can only rely on our troops."
As the saying goes, relying on mountains and rivers and running on water, in the end, it is better to rely on yourself.
However, at this moment, a general ran in hastily from outside the hall. His majestic and burly face was full of fear, and he said urgently: "You are all handsome, something serious is going to happen."
Several people who were discussing matters in the room were shocked when they heard this.
Gao Cheng shouted and asked: "What's wrong!"
The general said: "Commander, the city of Chengdu has been destroyed."
As soon as he said these words, it was like a bone-chilling wind from the Nine Nether Hell blowing into the hall, making several people present shiver.
The city of Chengdu was destroyed? How is it possible?
How did they use Jianmen Pass to resist the imperial court's troops?
Gao Cheng's face was as pale as paper, his hands and feet felt cold, and his eyes were dull for a long time.
Chen Yuan's face was as gloomy as iron, and he said: "Chengdu Mansion has been destroyed, and Jianmen Pass is difficult to defend."
Wei Wang Chen Ran also looked unhappy, and his eyes also fell into a brief sluggish state.
Could it be that God really wants to cut off Chen Ran's path?
Gao Bo and Gao Yong both looked unhappy, and their hearts were full of worries.
It’s not just that their old nest has been taken away, their Gao family and even the families of many military generals are in Chengdu. Once their retreat is cut off, the Shu army and Shu generals at Jianmen Pass are afraid that their hearts will be shaken and their morale will plummet.
Several people here are smart people, and they have already smelled bad signs from the fact that Chengdu Fucheng was breached.
Gao Yong stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Brother, I will lead a group of soldiers and horses to fight back to Chengdu again."
Gao Cheng had calmed down a little and said: "How many soldiers and horses from the imperial court came to Chengdu Prefecture? Do you know? How many soldiers and horses can you lead to break through the city of Chengdu Prefecture guarded by the elite troops and horses of the imperial court?"
As soon as these words came out, Gao Yong was stunned on the spot.
These are indeed issues that need to be faced head-on.
Gao Cheng looked solemn and said: "We must attack Chengdu Prefecture, but we must find out the specific situation of Chengdu Prefecture."
Chen Ran said in a deep voice: "Brother Gao, the city of Chengdu has been breached. We must not let the Shu army officers know about it. We should quickly block the news."
Gao Cheng shook his head and said: "Such big news is not easy to block. I'm afraid it has already spread to the Lieutenant General."
The families of many soldiers and generals on the front line are in Chengdu, and such a big thing as the city being breached has already spread to the entire army through various channels, and there is no way to block it.
When Chen Ran heard this, he sighed secretly.
Gao Bo said: "Brother, will the soldiers in Guancheng..."
Gao Cheng waved his hand to stop Gao Bo's words and said, "This is hard to say."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Gao Bo and said in a deep voice: "You have people watching the gates of Guancheng these days. Don't let spies join forces from the inside to meet the Han army."
Gao Bo responded with a heavy heart and took the task.
Gao Cheng stared at Chen Yuan and Wei Wang Chen Ran, and said: "The situation is very critical now. We need you and me to work together to fight against the imperial troops."
Chen Yuan said: "You and I are both grasshoppers on the same rope. Only by working together in the same boat can we get through the difficulties."
Gao Cheng said: "Gao Yong, you are leading 20,000 soldiers and horses to rush to support Chengdu. Since the Han army is attacking in a detour and the Shu area is dangerous, they will not send too many troops. 20,000 soldiers and horses should be enough to help."
Hearing this, Gao Yong raised his hands and said yes, then stood up and turned around to leave.
After Gao Yong left, Gao Cheng couldn't help but show a solemn look on his face and said: "Everyone, the Han army outside Guancheng will definitely attack the city with all their strength in the past few days. All the troops will board the city and guard it personally."
When everyone below heard this, they were extremely worried, but they could only respond in unison.
However, among the generals, the expressions on the faces of all the chieftains were not very good.
If the Chengdu Mansion is defeated, won't the Han court's soldiers and horses be victorious, and they will follow the Gao family into darkness? Is it wise?
The faces of all the Sichuan chieftains and chieftains were solemn, and there was inevitably murmuring in their hearts.
This is the general trend of people's hearts. If the Gao family wins one after another, they will have nothing to say, but they lose one after another.
