Chapter 87 Heart...
Return singing?
When Zhang Liao first heard Qiao Yan's arrangement, he was stunned for a moment.
But he immediately thought that compared with the Xiutuguhu's raids on the border of Bingzhou, and their killing, cooking and carving of corpses on stone tablets, Lord Qiao's decision to separate their heads from their bodies and hang their corpses on the Surrender City was indeed a kind act!
What's wrong with that!
The only problem is -
He can't sing.
Two years ago, when he was a military officer and joined forces with Guo Yu to garrison Yanmen County, after defeating the old soldiers in the camp who thought he was young and could be bullied, he sat around the fire with them and chatted and feasted. During the conversation, someone suggested that he sing a morale-boosting war song for everyone.
The final result was that Guo Yu patted him on the shoulder and told him earnestly not to launch such indiscriminate attacks in the future.
This euphemism was enough to make Zhang Liao realize that perhaps his singing talent was really not that good and the best he could do was just shout slogans.
But after Qiao Yan handed the telescope to Zhang Liao, saying that although the three of them failed to kill King Xiutu, they all made contributions to him and that he was indeed the one who needed it the most, Zhang Liao felt that he probably shouldn't let Qiao Yan down... right?
While he was still struggling with this, Zhang Yang, who knew that he would get stuck in a rut sometimes, had already reported him to Qiao Yan, so Qiao Yan simply assigned him an extra task.
The people of Guyang who were previously sacrificed by King Xiutu during the oath-taking ceremony have now been rescued by them. Although these people are full of fear of their hometown of Guyang, they also want to find the bodies of their family members and bury them again.
Zhang Liao had led people to deal with the task of cleaning up the people of Guyang County, so it would be more appropriate to let him handle the final part of this matter as well.
Zhang Liao couldn't tell whether this was a different kind of relief, but at least Zhang Yang felt that his ears were saved.
Now, the only thing left is the question of deterrence.
However, before passing through Xihe County, they had to pass through Yunzhong County and Wuyuan County again.
There aren't many residents along this line of Yunzhong County, so when passing through Wuyuan, it's inevitable that they'll attract onlookers.
You have to know that a marching team of more than 3,000 people is already an exceptionally eye-catching scene, especially when there are quite a few cavalry troops among them, and they have obviously just experienced a battle, which makes people even more eye-catching.
So, what if almost every one of these three thousand people has a Hun head?
The severed heads were covered with mud, but blood still seeped out from the cracks in the mud. Although they were stained with some mud and dust, it was not difficult for people to recognize from the facial features of these dead heads that they were not the Han people, but the Hu people from outside the Great Wall.
The people of Wuyuan County, who had been frightened by the scene before, gathered in groups to watch this group of soldiers marching with great spirit after confirming that this was just a scene of a group of victorious soldiers returning from an expedition outside the Great Wall.
Nearly three thousand Hu people’s heads!
This is a rare scene.
A few days ago, a curious person went to take a look at the Guyang bloody case and brought the news back to Wuyuan County, making everyone nervous for a while. However, the warriors of Bingzhou were brave and good at fighting, and some of them ran to the prefectural governor's mansion to ask to join the battle.
But they didn't expect that before they could get an answer to the conscription, the culprit had already been eliminated?
Among the many soldiers carrying the heads of the Huns, the most eye-catching one was undoubtedly Qiao Yan riding on the red sandalwood horse.
Although she ordered everyone to bring back the head of Xiutu Gehu, she herself had no intention of coming into close contact with any of the heads. She just asked Dian Weiduo to carry King Xiutu's.
So much so that when this line of soldiers was marching forward, she was the only one who looked somewhat bright and beautiful.
But this does not mean that she is out of place in this team.
Because no one would ignore the longbow and quiver on her back, as well as the two long spears hanging on Zhu Tan's side!
It will only make people feel that she is the unique commander of this team.
It was a clear autumn day, and she gazed straight ahead with a look of sharpness that made one feel chilled.
In their impression, there is only one person in Bingzhou who can perform like this.
"Marquis Leping..."
This is the Marquis of Leping!
I heard that she was released from house arrest in August and September because of her unauthorized leadership in quelling the locust plague two years ago. Unexpectedly, when she once again brought out such shocking news, she was facing the barbarians outside Bingzhou.
This is still doing practical things for Bingzhou!
For these common people, they did not think that Qiao Yan's possession of so many soldiers was a sign of treason and violation of the law. They only felt that with Lord Qiao's action, they could at least sleep well.
Among the crowd at this moment, there is one person whose ideas may be slightly different from others.
Because he was the tallest and looked the most powerful, he seemed to stand out among the crowd.
He kept looking at the team of Qiao Yan and others until the last person disappeared from his sight. He was a little dazed, and after being pushed by someone, he realized that everyone had left.
"What are you thinking about, Fengxian?"
He came back to his senses and said with emotion: "A real man should be like this!"
After the provincial government announced the locust eradication system two years ago, he still thought that with his bravery, he might be able to carry hundreds of kilograms of locusts on his shoulders and show his prowess in the exchange, so that he could seek a job at that time. However, Qiao Yan's subsequent supplementary order forced him to give up this plan.
But he did not intend to wait for the opportunity to fall on his head, but recommended himself to the governor of Wuyuan County.
Because of his outstanding martial arts skills, the county magistrate let him start as the county lieutenant of Jiuyuan County, which was a good start.
But since the county lieutenant could not go into battle to kill the enemy, Lu Bu often felt that he could actually take on heavier responsibilities.
So when others saw Qiao Yan leading his men on horseback today, they might have thought that the heads of the barbarians were a little scary, but he looked at the fear frozen on their faces one by one, and the more he looked, the more his heart surged.
A real man should be like this!
No, it should be said that this is how one should behave!
How joyful and enjoyable it is!
"You are wrong. This Marquis Qiao is a woman, not a real man."
"What do you know?" Lü Bu snorted coldly. "We Bingzhou people have always only looked at ability and not gender. Can you deny that this Qiao Hou is indeed a great man of the time?"
I don't know when he will be able to achieve such military achievements and such a ostentatious demeanor as the Marquis of Leping.
He couldn't help but secretly ponder his future.
However, it seems that this Marquis Qiao did not throw the Huns' heads outside the Great Wall, but brought them into the country as a military achievement. Isn't this a somewhat special move?
Apart from anything else, this action would probably scare the governor of Wuyuan.
After all, he had met the Wuyuan prefect and had some understanding of him.
Lu Bu’s guess was indeed correct.
The governor of Wuyuan was already frightened when he received the news, and when he saw Qiao Yan's troops passing by the provincial government with his own eyes, he almost turned pale.
The fact that he could become the prefect of Wuyuan can be considered as a result of his courage being tested first.
However, with Guanglu Sai guarding the Gaoque Mountain Pass in the north and blocking the road to Guyang, he could have even rest assured if Guyang had not been attacked. Moreover, while he was in this position, he had at most heard about some battles in the border areas.
Seeing that the imperial court has not set up the position of General Du Liao recently, we know that wars in this area are not so frequent.
After all, after the Northern Huns moved westward, the most rebellious among the Hu people were the Xianbei, Wuhuan and Western Qiang, which had nothing to do with his Wuyuan County.
But now he suddenly had to face this kind of threat...
If the county magistrate beside him hadn't supported him, he would have almost fallen down.
He thought again that he was, after all, the governor of a county and represented the face of Wuyuan County. How could he make such a weak move? He straightened his back immediately.
"Qiao Hou, what is this...?" he asked tentatively.
Although Qiao Yan was quite polite and greeted him after dismounting, and did not sit on the horse to put pressure on him, he could not help but see two heads and a body as soon as he looked behind her. The effect was really too shocking.
Qiao Yan smiled and said, "It's just to scare the monkeys. Doesn't the governor want to sleep more peacefully?"
When she said this, she pointed towards the south, so that the Wuyuan governor, unless he had a stupid mind, could guess that she was referring to Xihe County.
Thinking about the rumors he had heard a few days ago, he suddenly realized that Qiao Yan really should do this.
It’s always a good idea to suppress those signs that threaten safety first!
When the governor of Wuyuan thought of this, he no longer felt weak in the knees. He even asked Qiao Yan when he was bidding him farewell: "Do you need me to select a few more mighty and strong men to add some style to Marquis Qiao's team?"
"That's not necessary," Qiao Yan looked at him, and felt that he might have something in common with Cui Lie. "Don't you think, sir, with 3,000 against 3,000, and our losses not being too great, it's a perfect deterrent to the Southern Xiongnu?"
But obviously, what would shock them was not just the fact that this person had a Hun head, but also... the death of the conspirator.
The naturalized tribes of the Southern Xiongnu in Xihe County stationed their troops in Meizhi City, including their leader Qiangqu and his restless nobles from the left wing of the Southern Xiongnu, all living in this city.
The Lieutenant General who Protected the Xiongnu lived in Dongsheng County on the west side of Meiji City.
Although this Lieutenant General who protected the Xiongnu had been involved in many internal affairs of the Southern Xiongnu in the past and would often make routine inquiries, he did not enter Meiji City most of the time.
Perhaps because the Qiang tribe showed obvious signs of closeness to the Han court, the new General of the Central Army did not like his predecessor to replace their leaders. He even often gave them some benefits in the business of exchanging fine wine for their cattle, sheep and horses.
If it weren't for the fact that the Han Dynasty's conscription made the left-wing nobles feel the signal of death, they really thought that this Lieutenant General who Protected the Xiongnu could get along with them.
But today… today is different.
He and Qiao Yan rode their horses into the city side by side, followed by a group of brave soldiers who were still as vigorous as ever. People could see at a glance the heads of the Huns carried by the soldiers.
The march to this point had only been three days, not long enough for these Hun heads to have rotted away and become unrecognizable.
Qiao Yan felt that they all looked similar, but some people in the city recognized King Xiutu's head at a glance, which was now being carried on Dian Wei's shoulders.
When passing through Wuyuan County, the county residents only felt at ease and admired them, but to the Southern Xiongnu people in Meizhi City, this was not the case at all.
It's like a murderer killed your relative first and then put the head in front of you.
Before Southern Xiongnu King Zuo Guli saw this scene, his subordinates had already reported the news to him, and his face changed.
Just as Qiao Yan guessed, although the Xiutuguhu had risen, they did not know much about the situation in the Han Dynasty. If the left wing of the Southern Xiongnu had not developed a rebellious mind against the leadership of the Han Dynasty and provided support and tipped off the enemy within the country, the Xiutugehu would not have succeeded.
The one with whom he exchanged messages was none other than the King of Zuoguli.
After hearing that Xiu Tuge had succeeded and caused the massacre of Guyang, what King Zuo Guli thought in his heart was nothing more than that this big man was indeed getting worse and worse in terms of military defense.
Considering that this time the conscription included not only the people of the Southern Xiongnu, but also the people from Guanglu Pass and General Du Liao's camp, as well as the General of the Central Army who was watching closely from the side, they felt that the constraints they faced were reduced by half.
Then once the Xiutu tribes get in touch with him again, it will be the time for the Southern Xiongnu to occupy Xihe!
However, what he waited for was not the invasion after the Xiutuguhu people swore an oath to fight, but the King Xiutu himself became a dead soul under the sword of the Han army and appeared here in the form of a head.
"What do they mean by this? Are they going to declare war on us?"
King Zuo Guli's face turned pale, and he immediately wanted to draw the weapon at hand, but was immediately held back by General Zuo who was also there.
"Calm down first. The Han army killed Xiu Tuge who was wandering outside Yinshan and Yangshan. What does it have to do with us?"
General Zuo thought for a moment and said, "Do you really think that if they only have 3,000 men entering the city without any preparation, they are really not afraid of us attacking them on the spot?"
King Zuo Guli was silent for a moment, and General Zuo took advantage of the situation and asked again: "Besides, don't forget that Qiang Qu is a loyal dog chosen by the Han court. We are not without opponents in the city."
What he said is indeed true.
But the ally he was about to cooperate with suddenly died, and his head was sent to him. King Zuo Guli found it difficult to remain calm no matter how he thought about it.
But he couldn't just hear it and leave it at that.
According to the special status of the Lieutenant General of the Protectorate of the Xiongnu within the Southern Xiongnu, when he wanted to gather the important members of the Southern Xiongnu, he had to go even if King Zuo Guli was dissatisfied with him.
Who made the authority of "participating in lawsuits and observing movements" contain so much information!
By the time he finally arrived at the square in front of the Chanyu's residence, most people who should have been there had already arrived.
He also missed the conversation between Wang Rou, the General in Charge of Protecting the Xiongnu, and Qiao Yan before he arrived.
To be exact, apart from Qiao Yan sending over the recipe for the Hero Wine and Wang Rou's reply of "How dare I offer you only five thousand stones as a reward", there had actually been no direct communication between the two.
Wang Rou didn't expect that she would meet Qiao Yan under such circumstances.
Compared to the rumors of forcing the governor to death with an arrow two years ago, what she did now was much more horrifying.
Wang Rou is not as gentle as his name suggests. He is also more courageous than the prefect of Wuyuan.
Even so, when he heard that Qiao Yan led her army to launch a surprise attack on the city that had surrendered, and happened to meet the Xiu Tugehu who was swearing an oath before the attack, he couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for her.
But after realizing the meaning of the word "oath", he felt a little scared.
Fortunately... Fortunately, the Xiongnu's Great Wall was destroyed by her with such thunderous means. Otherwise, at the very least, he, the Lieutenant General who protected the Xiongnu, would definitely be punished for dereliction of duty. At the worst, -
Once the defense line in the Guangluxai area in the north falls, and the Southern Xiongnu in Xihe County rebels again, the harm caused will be greater than that of the Black Mountain bandits and the White Wave bandits!
"Do you think our deterrent effect will be effective this time?"
Wang Rou watched as Qiao Yan's men displayed a stern and fierce aura, shouting loudly while piling up the heads of the Xiu Tugehu in the square. Then, under her instructions, some of them stood around the square, with an aura of the Hongmen Banquet. She immediately asked.
To Qiao Yan, his question did not sound anxious, but rather it seemed like he was asking whether they could get enough benefits.
Think about it, there were people who forced the Southern Chanyu to commit suicide while serving as the Lieutenant General of the Protectorate of the Xiongnu, and there were also people who directly raised troops to replace him. Wang Rou was born into the Wang family of Jinyang and had the support of a noble family behind him, so he would be less afraid of such a situation.
Having such an ally, especially one whose identity is most suitable for attacking the Southern Xiongnu, is indeed the most advantageous thing at this time.
"Don't you think that the fact that some people are late is the most telling thing?"
Wang Rou smiled and said, "Yes, that's right, but I'll have to trouble Lord Qiao to show some more of your majesty here."
Although there is no such saying as "one plays the good cop and the other plays the bad cop" nowadays, in Qiao Yan's opinion, Wang Rou's words were almost the same.
They had reached a consensus before coming to Meiji City that deterrence alone was not enough to make these fickle people remember their lessons, and they had to be skinned.
To put it more simply, it's blackmail.
After all, it's a 50-50 split, so Qiao Yan won't lose anything.
It was precisely because of the strategy of the two that when King Zuoguli saw the pile of Xiutu heads in the center of the square and asked "Why is it so", a cold light suddenly passed in front of him.
A half-broken pistol was stuck just an inch in front of his feet.
“…” King Zuo Guli’s eyelids twitched.
If the opponent's aim was a little worse, the gun would either hit his instep or his chest.
This sudden change of events made him subconsciously take a step back, and he accidentally fell to the ground.
With just a tilt of his head to support his body, he saw a face among the pile of skulls on the side, and a face that was as familiar to him as King Xiutu jumped into his sight.
He was immediately startled and turned back, only to see that in an instant, another pistol, or to be more precise, the other half of the pistol, was pointed at his throat.
"How dare you! What are you doing!" he shouted angrily.
As soon as he said this, he looked up and saw Qiao Yan's calm face. At the same time, he saw from the corner of his eye that the soldiers surrounding the square raised their weapons at this moment.
Such brutal behavior that seemed like they could start a war at any time made him shut his mouth subconsciously.
He then heard Qiao Yan casually say, "I am a county marquis of the Han Dynasty, the highest among the five ranks of marquises. As the King of Zuo Guli of the Southern Xiongnu, can you speak to me like this?"
Marquis of Dahan County?
Prince Zuoguli looked at Wang Rou suspiciously, and seeing that the Lieutenant General who protected the Xiongnu did not refute her words at all, he guessed that what she said might be true.
If he is really a county marquis, his status is indeed higher than his.
Who made the Southern Xiongnu surrender to the Han Dynasty? In this situation, even the Southern Chanyu was just a vassal of the Han Dynasty and needed to obey Wang Rou's control. The word "Jun" in the honorific title of County Marquis really put him above others.
This is the truth, but killing the Xiu Tu tribe first and then pointing the gun at him, the King of Zuoguli, is not it a bit too arrogant!
However, before he could get angry, Wang Rou came forward with an expression that did not show his emotions, and said in a seemingly gentle tone, "Marquis Qiao, please stop first, and do not hurt the harmony between the Han and Southern Xiongnu."
King Zuo Guli let out a breath.
What Wang Rou said sounded like something human.
"Peaceful? Since the Southern Xiongnu and our Han are allies, then the Xiu Tuge who attacked the Han border should be our common enemy." Qiao Yan replied coldly, "I came here with Xiu Tuge's head just to ask you to give an explanation. I have no collusion with this tribe. You came here to ask why you are doing this. Do you want to seek justice for them?"
The half-gun in her hand was indeed not too long, but at such a close distance, it was enough to be used as a weapon to take the life of King Zuo Guli.
The implication of her words made the high-ranking member of the left wing of the Xiongnu, who was still sitting on the ground, tremble in his heart.
He really wanted to hold this arrogant county marquis accountable, but her words made it clear that she was here to eliminate the relationship. If he still insisted on arguing with the other party, he would be punished as well.
When the other side had weapons in their hands and showed the usual strength of the Han Dynasty, he really had no other choice but to firmly insist that he had nothing to do with Xiutugehu.
He suppressed the pain of gnashing his teeth and swallowing his blood, and while carefully pushing the gun in Qiao Yan's hand away from his neck, he replied: "Of course not, the Xiu Tuge is a branch of the Northern Xiongnu, what does it have to do with us Southern Xiongnu? Even the General of the Central Army can prove that we have always been well-behaved since we settled in Meiji City, and we have no intention of offending the Han Dynasty."
Qiao Yan raised his eyebrows, "Is it really so?"
Wang Rou continued to play the role of peacemaker and replied, "It is just as King Zuo Guli said."
Seeing that the gun was completely removed from his neck and the surrounding soldiers put away their weapons, King Zuo Guli finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But no one told him that they had made it clear that they had no relationship with Xiu Tuge anymore, so they still had to give out a sum of rice and horses as military supplies?
However, the words of the Lieutenant General who protected the Xiongnu were quite reasonable and well-founded.
He said that Marquis Qiao had seized the power of the Bingzhou governor two years ago, but was only punished with house arrest. She had the support of the Han emperor behind her, so even if she mobilized the Bingzhou army to wipe out the Southern Xiongnu, she would only be confined to her house for one or two years at most.
Furthermore, the annihilation of the main forces of the Xiutu tribes would also reduce the number of scum who eat human flesh in their Xiongnu community. Isn't this a good thing? Giving them some military supplies could be considered a reward for them.
This response, which was given under the pretext of maintaining a clean and honest social atmosphere, was actually a huge loss of money.
King Zuo Guli had just suppressed the urge to vomit blood when he saw Qiao Yan had someone put King Xiutu's head in a brocade box and sent it to him. He couldn't help but have a bad premonition.
As expected, he heard Qiao Yan say with a hint of apology in his tone: "I heard that the Xiongnu tribe has the habit of using warriors' skulls as wine cups. King Xiutu died from my arrow, so he was indeed a warrior. So I gave this to King Zuoguli as a gift to calm him down."
"..." It was really hard to respond to these words, and Prince Zuo Guli, who was holding the brocade box in his hand, felt that there was something else behind her words.
He heard her change the subject again and said, "But I hope you won't become a wine glass that I give to others one day."
Before she finished speaking, a meaningful smile appeared on her face.
The county marquis was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and everything he did only frightened him.
She stopped talking here, and as her light smile turned into loud laughter, she pulled out the half-broken spear that was stuck in the ground, put it back in her hand, jumped on her horse and rode away. Following her action, the soldiers around her also quickly followed her away under the leadership of Zhao Yun, Zhang Yang, Dian Wei, Xu Huang and others.
This scene was enough to make up for the lack of training with its momentum, and King Zuo Guli was stunned for a long time.
As soon as he came to his senses, he suddenly realized that most of the military supplies given out this time were from his inventory!
He wanted to curse Qiao Yan, but when he turned around, he was faced with a pile of heads.
“……” King Zuo Guli turned away from another familiar face with fear and decided to postpone his plan of rising.
Fortunately, he spent money to avoid disaster, and Qiao Yan would no longer bother him about the matter of Xiu Tu Ge.
Thinking that the communication between him and Xiu Tuge should not have exposed his identity, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Even Wang Rou said before she separated from Qiao Yan, "The Southern Xiongnu have handed over a lot of horses this time. Even if they really want to start a rebellion, I'm afraid they don't have the capital to fight back. Not to mention the troops and horses of Marquis Qiao, even the subordinates of the General of the Central Army can suppress them. This is the end of it."
He thought so, but he didn't notice that when Qiao Yan heard the words "come to an end", a subtle look flashed in his eyes.
Come to an end?
Qiao Yan muttered the word and shook his head in his heart.
If she really felt that this battle against Xiu Tugehu had demonstrated Bingzhou's momentum, and that the compensation she received from the Southern Xiongnu was enough to arm another part of the cavalry, and she could stop, then it would be really unfair to her for sending out all her elite troops.
She always likes to achieve the best effect by utilizing the conditions she has, and now is no exception!
In fact, whether she sent troops to Hedong to pacify the Baibo bandits and bring them under her control, or sent troops outside the Great Wall to attack the Xiutuguhu, and created such a scene when returning to Bingzhou, her actions were against the law unless the prefects and governors of various states and counties expressed their tacit approval or written permission due to special circumstances.
But if -
What if she gained control of the marching power in Bingzhou?
In other words, what if she used this incident to make a leap from the nominal title of a marquis to a position of real power in a county or a state?
These will not be a problem.
During the previous forced march, or when she saw the tragic scene in Guyang City, in addition to feeling grief-stricken, her calmer side was also thinking about this possibility.
She had previously been able to seize the position of Marquis of Leping through the game, eliminate the negative effects of holding the governor hostage, and even further gain Liu Hong's recognition. So now, she might be able to play another role.
After this scene, she could quietly wait for the news of Liu Hong's death.
But before that, she needed to see him again.
A crucial meeting.
After returning to Leping, she gave Lu Yuan a few instructions, asking her to prepare some things.
The next day, Guo Jia came to the door looking like he had not woken up yet. He was shocked to see Qiao Yan walking out of the room.
"What did you bring?" Qiao Yan seemed unaware of his shock and asked in a normal tone.
Although Guo Jia was surprised, he still answered subconsciously, "Marquis Qiao previously entrusted me with the task of deterring, naturalizing, and deceiving the people on the border of Bingzhou, and he was even willing to adopt the method I mentioned of killing the Hu people to redeem their lives, so he must give an explanation to the central government for this action."
"So I stayed in Yunzhong Wuyuan County for two more days and recorded the words of the people who were deeply troubled by the border."
He bowed and handed the scroll in his hand to Qiao Yan.
This should have been a manifestation of strategic planning and preparation without waiting for orders, but when he raised his head and looked at Qiao Yan again, he had the illusion that he was stunned by the other party's brilliant move.
Qiao Hou's move, Qiao Hou's move——
It really made him feel that he had not misjudged the person!
It was because what she was wearing at that moment was a white mourning dress!
Although she was wearing white clothes, she seemed to exude layers of blood.
This was exactly the murderous spirit she brought with her when she went on the expedition beyond the Great Wall.
At this time, she was flipping through the book and slowly speaking, which was also an explanation for her action: "Since I am the Marquis of Leping and my grandfather was buried in Leping, I should consider myself half a Bingzhou person."
"The disaster in Guyang is just a microcosm of the situation in Bingzhou. If there is no one with strong power to control and restrain it, sooner or later, today's Guyang will be tomorrow's Bingzhou."
"The dead are not remembered by anyone, and the living are barely surviving. Then I, the Marquis of Leping, have been granted this title by Your Majesty. Why not mourn for my grandfather and parents three years ago? Now I am wearing white clothes and offering sacrifices for Bingzhou!"
She put down the book in her hand and looked at Guo Jia, "Is this the truth?"
"What Qiao Hou said is correct."
Knowing clearly that her intention of speaking for the people was far less than her scheming for power, Guo Jia could not help but think that if she could really keep Bingzhou stable, who would be able to accuse her of anything?
As long as the result can be achieved, it would be a great feat to save a state!
While he was in a trance, he suddenly heard Qiao Yan ask, "Fengxiao, are you willing to go to Luoyang with me?"
