Wanyan Chuyao couldn't remember the exact date, but the necessary preparations had to be made in advance.
In the study, Chi Yuandao and Gu Qingchen were analyzing the current situation when Wanyan Chuyao walked in.
The Chi family has always treated their sons and daughters equally, and sometimes they prefer their daughters more, so they did not interfere when Wanyan Chuyao came to the study.
"What if the Rouran launches a surprise attack due to this year's heavy snow and extreme cold weather, grandfather, how do you plan to deal with it?" Wanyan Chuyao interrupted the discussion.
And everyone was thinking about Wanyan Chuyao's words, and they did not look down on her ideas just because she was a woman.
"There is not much food and herbs in Beijiang City. Fortunately, Yaoyao brought a large amount of supplies in advance, which is enough for us to survive this winter." Chi Bingren said.
"But the Rouran are not like that. Their horses and livestock are out of food, and the snow covers the entire grassland. They can't hold out for long." Chi Bingyi said worriedly.
"So, Yaoyao's worries are very reasonable!" Chi Yuandao nodded and said.
"What's everyone's plan?"
Everyone was silent. At this moment, Ye Feng suddenly came and whispered something in Gu Qingchen's ear. Gu Qingchen's face changed drastically.
He motioned for Ye Feng to retreat, looked at the worried eyes of the crowd, and said, "Prince Rui fabricated false evidence to slander the general for colluding with Rouran."
"What?" The stove in Wanyan Chuyao's hand fell to the ground, and the charcoal inside burst out, sparks flying everywhere.
Gu Qingchen quickly pulled the person aside, and soon the servants began to clean up.
Wanyan Chuyao felt sad. She thought they had avoided the misery of her previous life, but she didn't expect it to happen again?
"Don't worry. His Majesty may not believe it." Gu Qingchen comforted her.
"Prince Rui must have reached a deal with Rouran, so he is blaming grandfather!" Wanyan Chuyao said with certainty.
"Why don't we take advantage of their own accord?"
Everyone looked at Wanyan Chuyao...
News soon came from the capital that Emperor Wen of Song was furious, and he ordered Prince An to lead an army of 50,000 to take over all matters in the northern border.
Prince An and his men were on their way to Northern Xinjiang. Although it was snowing heavily, based on their speed, they would be able to reach Northern Xinjiang in about ten days.
Prince An Xiao Chengwu is determined to win. As long as he makes contributions in the northern border, the hundreds of thousands of troops under Chi Yuandao will be at his disposal, which will give him a better chance of becoming the crown prince.
The people in the northern border were not very clear about what was happening outside. They only knew that the general told them not to go out casually unless necessary, and that food and herbs would be delivered to them in the village regularly by special people for them to collect immediately.
The general is currently under confinement. Emperor Wen of Song has ordered that people in the general's mansion are not allowed to enter or leave at will, and they are under house arrest in the mansion.
The leader of Rouran was Mouhan Hesheng. He received a letter from King Rui a few days ago. In the letter, King Rui said that as long as Rouran cooperated, the five cities in the northern border would be ceded to Rouran, so that they would not have to live a nomadic life.
Mouhan Hesheng naturally agreed readily. If the Rouran tribe could grow and develop in his hands, then his name would go down in history!
Although Mouhan Hesheng reached an agreement with King Rui, they still had a hard time getting through the current cold winter. In order to cope with the current crisis, he decided to lead his men to launch a surprise attack on the northern border and grab some food and grass to bring back.
In the letter, Prince Rui mentioned that Gu Qingchen and his future princess were in the northern border, and the two of them had prepared a large amount of winter supplies in advance, which was simply a big piece of fat meat for Mouhan Hesheng!
If they can kill the regent of Da Qi in one fell swoop, their trip will be worthwhile!
After agreeing on the plan, Mouhan Hesheng sent his trusted general Mo Hefen to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to attack Beijiang City at night.
Late at night, except for the white expanse, the whole northern Xinjiang was quiet.
Mo He felt that everything was going too smoothly, so smoothly that he almost doubted his life. He led his elite troops into the city, and except for the "creaking" sound under his feet, there was no other sound.
It was too quiet and too strange. Mo Hefen suddenly felt something was wrong. When he wanted to lead his troops to leave, he found that the city wall was full of Da Qi soldiers, all holding bows and arrows, aiming at them.
The city gate that had just been easily broken open was now tightly closed. Before Mo Hefenlai could even yell, he was shot in the heart by arrows flying all over the sky. When he fell off his horse, he saw a very beautiful woman with a bow and arrow pointed at him...
Most of the 5,000 elite soldiers of the Rouran were wiped out by the rain of arrows, and the remaining small half surrendered.
Mouhan Hesheng was waiting five miles outside the city to meet him, but after waiting for a long time, there was no sign of Mohefen.
Just when he was wondering, a man covered in wounds suddenly came to report, "King, it's bad, our camp has been occupied by the Daqi people, and the queen and the little princes have been captured!"
Mou Hanhesheng was shocked, "Oh no! We've fallen into a trap!"
He and Mohe brought a lot of people out, so the guards left in the tribe were not worth using!
This is someone ransacking the house!
He was about to turn around to save his family when he heard a voice, "Mouhan Hesheng, why don't you surrender?"
Mouhan Hesheng looked back and saw Chi Yuandao and a group of Qi soldiers surrounding them. He knew that the situation was hopeless and they had no ability to resist.
"General, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. King, you admit defeat! I only hope you can spare my wife and children!"
Chi Yuandao and Mouhan Hesheng signed a border peace agreement, and Rouran had to pay tribute to Da Qi every year.
A few days later, Prince An brought people to the northern border, and as soon as he arrived, he negotiated with Chi Yuandao, hoping that Chi Yuandao could cooperate with him. As long as 100,000 troops surrendered to him, he would not pursue the collusion between the General's Mansion and Rouran.
Prince An naturally knew that this was a plot against the General's Mansion, but it was a perfect opportunity for him.
Gu Qingchen's words made him return to Da Qi immediately. He felt that staying for even one more second would be a waste of time.
It took Prince An more than ten days to bring his men here, but only eight days to return.
But when he returned, he happened to encounter Prince Rui forcing the emperor to abdicate.
When Prince Rui led the imperial guards into the Yangxin Palace, Emperor Wen of Song was reviewing memorials to the emperor.
"Father is truly diligent and loves his people!" Prince Rui said with a smile that did not reach his eyes.
Emperor Song Wen was not at all surprised by his move. He looked at him very calmly and said, "Chengwen, if you can stop at the brink of death, I can still spare your life for the sake of our father-son relationship!"
Xiao Chengwen seemed to have heard something funny and laughed out loud, "Father, you are old, I am concerned about your health and want to share the burden with you!"
"How outrageous!" Emperor Wen of Song was furious.
"How dare your son? Father, you have not appointed a crown prince yet. Do you want to appoint Gu Qingchen as the crown prince?"
"I have never understood why he is so good? Why does he deserve such favoritism from my father?"
"Could it be that he is the emperor's biological son?"
Emperor Song Wen looked at Xiao Chengwen angrily.
