Chapter 692 Who Serves Whom?
Even the maids felt that His Majesty was inviting Sir to take off his shirt, but Zhao Changhe himself did not realize it.
Because this was Xia Chichi's royal study room, Zhao Changhe, a country boy, subconsciously thought it was a place for discussion, and never thought about what could be done here. So he followed Xia Chichi into the house very naturally, closed the door when the palace maids had strange expressions on their faces, and the attendants all ran away very consciously.
It wasn't until the door was closed that Zhao Changhe came to his senses: "Hey, you are alone in the imperial study, and you don't even have anyone to polish your ink and light the lamp? How can you be so simple as an emperor?"
Xia Chichi turned around to see that her lover was acting stupid. There was a smile in her eyes. She sat back on the chair leisurely and asked lazily: "Why are you rushing back from Langya in such a hurry in the middle of the night? Aren't you supposed to be in Langya at this time? Hold your Cui Yuanyang to celebrate? Or go to the Wang family to pick out some beautiful ones, they don’t dare to resist. "
Zhao Changhe said speechlessly: "Little witch."
"Why is it so common for a witch to destroy a city and destroy a country?"
"King Cui has been married for generations. The so-called Wang family's family members may have been married to the Cui family's predecessors. Wang Zhaoling did not need to explain Cui Yuanyong before his death. What's more, how could we, a dignified teacher, do such a thing and fall into someone else's trap? Talking point.”
"Have you really thought about co-writing it?"
Zhao Changhe couldn't laugh or cry: "You are fishing."
Xia Chichi stared at him for a long time, then suddenly smiled: "Are you serious? At this time, shouldn't you be sleeping with Cui Yuanyang in your arms? Why did you come back at this time? Do you miss me?"
Zhao Changhe sighed: "There are too many worries and I can't take any time off. I want to know if there is any news from Batu. Your uncle went to Huangshaji and came back after delivering a message?"
"So you were thinking of Batu."
"?"
Xia Chichi sighed and said: "Although we have written to Batu several times, this guy always thought that nothing would happen in the snowy weather and was sleeping soundly in his tent. As a result, Timur's army attacked and Batu's army Defeat, if Venerable Xuanwu hadn’t arrived just in time to save him, his head would have been cut off by Timur and used as a chamber pot.”
Zhao Changhe knocked his head in frustration: "I knew it, this idiot. So how can I sleep peacefully..."
Xia Chichi said: "It's useless to be anxious. Anyway, there is a big difference between the war on the grassland and ours, that is, it is not easy to fight a war of annihilation. After being beaten and scattered, it is difficult to chase and kill. In the final analysis, there are It can gather a lot of people, which is also the main reason why the wars against Hu in the past were won again but it didn't take long for them to come back."
"Um……"
"So even though Batu was defeated, it was not so easy to be destroyed. It was just that the land with lush water and grass was taken back again, and the food, cattle and sheep suffered heavy losses... After the beginning of spring, the situation became more and more ebb and flow, just like a repeat of last year. Both sides It's just the other way around. Now Venerable Xuanwu is also helping Batu gather the remaining troops, and there will be no new news for a while. "
Zhao Changhe deduced it in his mind and asked again: "Where is your master?"
"She went to help her brother ambush and kill people. She wanted to kill someone before, but your Wanzhuang beat her to it. She was holding back a lot of anger... She felt comfortable killing, and she should be back soon. Without her, she would have succeeded again. There is no guarantee that we will win the ambush. We have too few soldiers and horses, and Shao Zong’s army is not very elite... But once the flames of the Burning Mountain of Lord Suzaku come out, there will be no suspense. "
Zhao Changhe nodded. Huangfu Shaozong had too few soldiers and horses, and their elite level was really limited. Apart from anything else, if he is a warrior who truly obeys orders and prohibitions, he should actually go straight to the Three Jin Dynasties at this time to eliminate Yanmen's worries. But most of this army can't do it. After fighting this ambush, they probably just want to go home to collect rewards for the New Year.
After all, this is not a game. You can dispatch as many heads as you want all over the world.
But maybe we can change our thinking. It is still reliable for this army to return to the city to garrison, and the elites of the Four Elephants Sect can be sent out to do the work of the Three Jins. Because the situation in the Three Jin Dynasties is different from conventional warfare, it may be better to use Jianghu methods, especially demonic methods.
In the past, Jinzhong businessmen were messing around behind the scenes, even if they wanted to support the enemy. They also colluded with local officials to control military supplies, hoard them, and affect the frontline supplies. It was a complete cancer. Xia Longyuan didn't care, but the high-ranking officials in the court were not unaware. They were also involved in the dividends and colluded with each other. Huangfu Yongxian could not do anything at all, so he had to send people to pretend to be horse bandits to steal grain. These things were done by himself Both Yue Hongling and Yue Hongling had experienced it personally, and it was very magical.
This time it was even more ruthless. In the first few days after the establishment of the new dynasty, the first soldiers to arrive at the city were the Jinzhong army and horses. Although there was a factor of being close to each other, it could also be seen that they had close ties with the officials of the capital and their thoroughly exposed rebellion. meaning. Now Yanmen is sandwiched between them and the barbarians, which is extremely dangerous. If Batu hadn't blocked the first shot in front, it would be hard to say what would happen now.
But their situation seems to be relatively scattered. There is no very clear centralization of power. It seems that they are just an alliance of businessmen. In this situation, using the army to conquer the past one by one would be like falling into a quagmire. On the contrary, Jianghu means may be more suitable...
Now that I have deduced it like this, I feel that running back in such a hurry is really unnecessary and not in such a hurry. No matter what, we have to wait for Sanniang's feedback on Batu's situation before we can make a plan. At this time, running out in a hurry is a waste of time.
No wonder he felt so confused about running back. At this time, he should hold Yangyang in his arms and sleep... Zhao Changhe moved away all the big rocks in his heart, and for a moment he felt regretful and wanted to die.
Seeing Zhao Changhe's face gradually turn bitter as he thought, Xia Chichi's eyes flashed with a smile, and deliberately changed the subject: "Hey, why do you like to call her my master? I have never worshipped her as my master, but she is the elder of the previous generation, and it is her responsibility to guide the new saint."
Zhao Changhe came back to his senses and responded casually: "That is also the truth of master and apprentice... Just like Sun Jiaoshi teaching newcomers swordsmanship is just his responsibility, but he will always be my master, and everyone in the world thinks so."
Xia Chichi bit her lower lip: "Isn't it because you will be more excited with this title?"
Zhao Changhe: "... I don't need this Name, she is your mother now, isn't this name impressive enough? "
Xia Chichi said: "Do you really want the Queen Mother and the Emperor to serve you together?"
Zhao Changhe tilted his head: "I'm here to talk business! Don't try to test cadres with this!"
Xia Chichi said: "Hey, are you a subordinate now?"
Zhao Changhe said unhappily: "What?"
"If you are a subordinate, is it your job to serve the emperor?"
"..."
"Lord Zhao..." Xia Chichi said in a friendly voice: "I have been working at my desk all day, my shoulders are sore, come and give me a massage?"
I seem to be more tired than you these days... Zhao Changhe pouted, but didn't say that after all.
I was thinking earlier that Chichi was liberating himself by taking over the emperor's stall, which should be the fact. Just scanning the densely packed personnel relationships on the desk, the follow-up handling of the rebellion in the capital, the official position arrangements after taking over the Cui Wang Yang family, tax management, military reform... and so on, I felt numb at a glance and just wanted to run away.
Although I have been fighting and running around these days, I am very tired, but that is what I like to do, so I am not tired at all. However, the fatigue that Chi Chi bears in this position may not be what she likes. The fatigue can be imagined.
Zhao Changhe sighed, walked behind Xia Chi Chi, stretched out his hand to pinch her shoulders, and said softly: "If you are tired, don't be so anxious, take your time."
Xia Chi Chi leaned in his arms, closed her eyes and rested for a while, and whispered: "You are out there, fighting gods and demons, what is my little..."
Zhao Changhe did not answer for a while.
"I am so happy that you can fly back in a hurry." Xia Chi Chi whispered: "You said that there are too many follow-up matters and you are not in the mood to rest... In fact, you are worried about the war in the capital, and you want to come back to take a look, right?"
Zhao Changhe was stunned. Maybe he really had this idea in his subconscious... Because when the chaotic book reported the situation of the capital, he was in the water of the secret realm and did not see it. He always felt empty in his heart and wanted to take a look to feel at ease.
The two of them didn't speak for a while, but they both felt close to each other's heart. You know what I'm thinking, and I know what you're thinking.
"You should have hugged Cui Yuanyang at this time..." Xia Chichi brought up the topic again, whispering: "Since you're here, it's my turn to accompany you..."
Zhao Changhe: "..."
Xia Chichi said softly: "Why are you so honest with your hands? Go down..."
Zhao Changhe followed suit and reached down from the dragon robe's collar, touching the smooth and fat-like place.
Xia Chichi panted slightly: "Do you like playing with the emperor in the imperial study?"
Zhao Changhe didn't pretend to be a gentleman for his own wife: "Isn't this His Majesty rewarding me for my hard work and great achievements?"
He kicked away the chair with one foot, half-lifted Xia Chichi, and let her lean over to support the imperial desk, lifting the hem of the dragon robe.
Xia Chichi looked back with some resentment, with a little anger in her eyes.
He clearly liked this kind of blasphemy and conquest. He had never taken off the dragon robe several times with him.
In the imperial study, the oil lamp flickered, and the emperor's suppressed breathing gradually reached the outside of the door. As early as when the two entered the door, the male lives outside had been driven away for several miles, leaving only the palace maids with red faces and lowered heads, rubbing their toes on the ground, not knowing how to comment on this scene of the emperor being pressed on the imperial desk and whipped by a great scholar.
A flash of fire flashed in the air, like a soaring firebird, and then turned into a solid and slender figure, landing in front of the house.
The palace maids were startled and were about to pay their respects, but the queen mother had already pushed the door in: "Shaozong is collecting prisoners and leading the army back. The original idea of going directly north to Jinzhong was too much, and we have to think about it again... eh?"
"Bang!" The door was slammed shut, and the queen mother's voice became exasperated: "You are the emperor, and you are being pushed by this pig. Do you have any shame!"
