Chapter 154 Xiao He's Plan
Bailixian's worries quickly turned into a cold fact.
Just as the three of them were about to leave the city overnight to meet Bailimao, the east gate suddenly started to move. When they quickly arrived near the east gate, they happened to see the city gate open. More than 20 Hu cavalry surrounded Princess Yingzhen and walked in swaggeringly from outside the city. Seeing this scene, Bailixian's heart sank. The situation was not very good!
Baili Yishui stepped forward and waved, "Sister Princess, Sister Princess?"
Before Baili Yishui could approach, the two Hu cavalry drew their swords to block the way.
"Little Sister Baili?" Princess Yingzhen quickly turned over and dismounted and drove the Hu people away.
Seeing Baili Yishui, Princess Yingzhen seemed to be very attentive, and the smile on her pretty face didn't seem to be pretending.
The two Hu people showed absolute obedience to Princess Yingzhen, which made Bailixian feel heavier. These Hu people have always been rebellious. Why are they so obedient to the princess?
"Sister Princess, I was worried about you just now." Baili Yishui was extremely simple in her mind. She immediately pulled Ying Zhen's hand and said happily, "It's great that you can come back from Huying safely."
"How dare I make things difficult for me to do this?" Princess Yingzhen smiled faintly and said, "Chuan,
Sister, don’t stay in the inn tonight. Go to my sister’s headquarters and talk to me for one night, okay?”
"Okay, okay.
"Baili Yishui nodded repeatedly and said, "My little sister likes to sleep with her sister the most."
As they spoke, Bailixian and Yuyuan had already come forward and met Princess Yingzhen respectively. Yingzhen's attitude towards Bailixian and Yuyuan became much colder, but she just replied with a brief look.
Soon, Méng Shin arrived with his personal soldiers.
Seeing that there were more than twenty Hu people accompanying him to protect him, Méng Chou was a little surprised, but he still came forward to see Princess Ying Zhen respectfully. Princess Ying Zhen solemnly returned Li, and said to Méng Chou: "General méng, I am tired today. I want to take a night off first. Can you discuss it tomorrow if you have something to do?"
Méng nodded and looked up and shouted, "Come here, send Your Highness back to the headquarters!"
With a command from the méng, dozens of personal soldiers behind him rushed up. Unexpectedly, the more than 20 cavalrymen drew their swords and unsheathed them, and they all protected Princess Yingzhen as if they were facing a great enemy. Méngzhen frowned. When she was talking, Princess Yingzhen said, "General, these warriors have no malice, so they will escort the palace back to the headquarters.
Méng Wu had no choice but to wave his hand, and dozens of personal soldiers retreated to both sides of the street.
At that moment, Princess Yingzhen held Baili Yishui's little hand and walked away surrounded by more than twenty Hu people. Méng immediately took her personal soldiers away, ignoring Bailixian from beginning to end.
Bailixian could only shake his head and smile bitterly, but he really only believed in his own way.
From *, he looked at the dark sky and asked Baili Xian: "Brother Baili, what should I do now? Should I go out of the city to meet Ziming, or stay and wait for my younger sister to leave?"
Bailixian just pondered for a moment and made a decision: "In this way, you go out of the city to find Ziming first, and let him return to the general immediately to send a message to the general, and say that the situation in Jiuyuan has changed, and the army should not continue to go north. Then let the general send an elite force to go north to cooperate with us to act according to the opportunity, then there is still something big to do."
Bailixian had already smelled a strange breath from his scales.
Princess Yingzhen went on a mission to Huying alone, and now she was escorted back to the city by Lou Anren? How is this situation abnormal? If you say that there is no story in the middle, Bailixian will never believe it!
As for what kind of entanglement can a princess and Lou Furen? It is not difficult to guess that it is probably the princess who is preparing to marry Lou Furen.
Bailixian is knowledgeable and memorable, and has a little knowledge of the art of taking on the camera. He also knows that Princess Yingzhen is born with charming, and also knows that Princess Yingzhen is a woman with a very scheming and strong desire for power, so she will take the initiative to marry Loufun King, which is not surprising, because in Hetao, Loufun is indeed a decisive force.
If Princess Yingzhen can control the entire Loufan tribe through Loufan King, and then use the power of the Loufan tribe to gather the Aries tribe and Linhu tribe, plus the five thousand Qin cavalry and 30,000 old Qin people, a powerful force that cannot be ignored will be formed immediately. It is not impossible to resist the Huns in the north and fight against the Han in the south.
In fact, the Hetao Hu people in history have joined forces for some mysterious reason. As for whether it was because the Qin princess played the role of threading needles in the middle, it was unknown. However, when the Hetao Hu people encountered Maodun, a rare grassland hero, but they were crushed by the Huns without any suspense.
The submission of the Hu people in Hetao and the Qin people in turn greatly encouraged the strength of the Huns, and the siege of Bai Deng appeared. Liu Bang was frightened by Maodun and sent his daughter to kiss him.
Bailixian didn't know this, but he knew that once the Hu people in Hetao formed an alliance with the old Qin people, it would be a disaster for Xiangzhuang and the Chu army heading north! Because the intervention of the Chu army would make the situation in Hetao complicated, Princess Yingzhen would never allow Xiangzhuang and the Chu army to hinder her revival plan.
Therefore, Bailixian must prevent this from happening.
After all, Bailixian's concept is essentially different from Méng. Méng is a child of the Méng family. He has always regarded himself as the guardian of the Great Qin Empire and the Ying family, but Bailixian only believes in the Qin law and the farming and war system. Therefore, Bailixian believes even more that Xiang Zhuang, the iron-blooded commander who came out of the battlefield, rather than Ying Zhen, the scheming princess.
……………………
At this time, Liu Bang had already brought his army back to Xianyang.
Due to the lack of military rations, Liu Bang only sent Zhou Bo to lead 20,000 elite troops to chase the Chu army north, while the remaining tens of thousands of troops were all sent to the surrounding areas of Xianyang to cultivate farms. As for Zhou Bo's 20,000 elite troops, it was more appropriate to monitor the Chu army than to chase and kill. At this point, Liu Bang could only watch Xiang Zhuang lead his army north to Hetao.
In Changle Palace, Liu Bang was hugging Mrs. Qi and couldn't get up. Xiao He asked for a few times but ignored him.
To be honest, when Liu Bang returned to Xianyang and saw Changle Palace, he was a little surprised. He was surprised that Xiao He had built such a luxurious palace for him, and also surprised that Xiang Zhuang's son did not burn the palace. You must know that when Xiang Yu entered Xianyang, he burned the entire Qin Palace with a torch.
After living in Changle Palace for a few days, Liu Bang became very happy.
Compared to the past when he was in Pei County, he had the food and accommodation during the war. Living in Changle Palace was like a god. Sometimes Liu Bang really felt that most of his life had been in vain, and he also made up his mind that while he had more than ten years left, he should enjoy life in this life. Just leave the war to Zhou Bo, Guan Ying and the others.
Xiao He asked for a meeting again, but Mrs. Qi finally couldn't stand it anymore and gently pushed Liu Bi a few times.
Then Liu Bang sat up lazily, put on his clothes under Concubine Qi's clothes, and left the bedroom.
Xiao He quickly bowed to Liu Bang according to the etiquette he had formulated, called me three times, and then bowed and stood on the right side.
This etiquette system was also formulated by Xiao He according to the Qin system. According to this system, the old friends who followed Liu Bang through life and death, and who had been called brothers and brothers had to kneel down when they saw Liu Bang. Liu Bang's respect as the king came out immediately. When those old brothers fell to his feet for the first time, Liu Bang felt so happy that he could not be described in words.
"Prime Minister, what's going on in the early morning?" Liu Bang yawned and asked Xiao He lazily.
Xiao He bowed and replied: "King, all the grain in the cellar has been taken out and distributed to the counties and military farming lieutenants as soon as possible. However, I think it is better to send capable officials to supervise it, so as to prevent some military farming soldiers from being hungry and eating these grains as food."
Liu Bang said unhappily: "You are the prime minister, don't you just make the decision on this matter?"
Xiao He quickly said, "I disturbed King Qingmeng early in the morning for another important matter."
After saying this, Xiao He said again: "I have screened the Qin Six Laws, and then learned from the Taoist theory of inaction and Huang Lao's technique, and formulated the first draft of the "Nine Chapter Laws. I would like to ask the king to take some time to take a look." After that, Xiao He turned around and waved his hand. Two minor officials had already walked in with two wooden plates holding up two wooden plates, and dozens of volumes of book scripts were placed on the wooden plates.
When Liu Bang saw it, he suddenly became big and frowned and said, "Let me let it go first, I will look back."
When Xiao He was about to persuade him for a few more words, Liu Bang turned around and left. Helplessly, Xiao He had to bow and take a break.
……………………
In Yuping, 20,000 Chu troops were heading north along the straight road.
With the rapid sound of horse hooves, Gao Chu flew to Xiangzhuang and bowed on the horse's back to report: "General, the Han army pursued the Great Wall of King Zhaoxiang, and did not chase northward."
"This is also expected." Xiang Zhuang finished speaking, and looked at Wei Liao again.
Guanzhong suffered consecutive war disasters, the people were unable to feed themselves, and the summer grain was also robbed by the Chu army. The Han army had no food, so what should we chase after it?
From now on, the Chu army no longer has to worry about the pursuers behind him. However, it is still unknown what the situation in Jiuyuan is. I don’t know whether Bailixian has persuaded Méng to kill him? If Bailixian cannot convince Méng to kill him, I am afraid that after arriving at Jiuyuan, there will inevitably be a disaster between him and the old Qin people.
There is a saying that says Cao Cao will arrive.
Xiang Zhuang was worried about Jiuyuan, and a rapid sound of horse hooves came from the front.
When he looked up quickly, Bailimao was already rushing back in dust. From a distance, Bailimao shouted in a hurry: "General, my elder brother said that the situation in Jiuyuan has changed, and the army can no longer go north..." Xiang Zhuang's heart sank when he heard this, and he raised his right hand and shouted: "Order the whole army to stop moving forward!"
