Chapter 129
The role of Yue Hanxin
What a dilemma! Changsun Wuwo could only sigh helplessly. Although it was impossible to do anything, he was forced to leave Youzhou in such a disgraceful way after such a fierce battle!
The Crown Prince's Tiance Mansion would probably be ridiculed by the world! Not to mention the chain reaction that would be caused by the three forces of Prince Ning, Marquis Guannei, and Prince Yan!
Changsun Wuwo had no choice but to swallow the bitter wine and was about to order a withdrawal!
A figure that was extremely familiar to him appeared on the wall of Tai'an, and the order to withdraw troops naturally turned into stopping the siege!
The Imperial Princess and Prince Yan's Consort Yue Hanxin suddenly appeared on the city wall, which was completely beyond the expectations of anyone in Tiance Mansion!
…
Gongsun Wuhui once asked Liu Buqi in confusion why, after Yue Hanxin's attempt to control Youzhou failed, he remained as devoted to her as ever! He even took her with him throughout the entire Great Wall offensive against the grasslands!
Liu Buqi just tried to evade her by saying that they each served their own masters and there was nothing wrong with it.
But in fact, Liu Buqi knew very well that among the four forces now on the surface of the empire, Youzhou was the weakest, and the prince was the strongest.
Youzhou is now unable to be self-sufficient. Its dependence on the empire means that it can only rely on a major force that borders it!
For some unknown reason, Yue Hua did not tell the prince and Yue Lingxi about the grudges of the previous generation. These two people, one in the south and one in the north, at least did not have a direct conflict at the moment, and the strongest and the weakest could be natural allies.
So Yue Chengqiu sent Yue Hanxin over. Even if Liu Buqi was unwilling, she had to admit that if there were no grudges from the previous generation, Yue Hanxin would definitely be a good match for Yue Lingxi!
When Youzhou was unable to stand on its own, the Crown Prince was his strongest support! And the Crown Prince also needed Youzhou to contain the Guannei Marquis's troops!
Even though it seems that Yue Lingxi has not participated in the Dahe battlefield at all, in fact, the existence of Youzhou has always been a source of worry for Guanzhong!
If Guannei Hou really rushed into the Central Plains one day, he would never dare to send out all his forces!
This is also the reason why the prince did not directly order the capture of Tai'an this time! A single move will affect the entire body! The prince must not use his status as the prince to do this!
The two sides are currently in a situation where cooperation is mutually beneficial. Under such circumstances, as long as Yue Hanxin is still in Youzhou, this fragile and loose alliance may be maintained!
Therefore, even if she did something or did nothing, Yue Hanxin's transcendent position would be clearly there!
Since we can't kill or scold them, why not just keep it as it is? This will also give both sides a reason to sit down and negotiate when friction arises in the future!
For example, this time Tian Ce attacked Tai'an. If this matter is not handled properly, the two camps will immediately go their separate ways!
At this moment and in this place, the role Yue Hanxin can play is equivalent to thousands of troops!
…
"Lord Changsun, could you please come forward and talk?" Yue Hanxin on the city wall probably understood Liu Buqi's intention of calling him to the car and insisting on him coming forward.
If Liu Buqi climbed onto the city wall, there would be no room for recovery. In front of tens of thousands of Youzhou soldiers, how could the Youzhou Fox Spirit lower itself and forgive the "enemy"!
Changsun Wuwo quickly stepped forward and kowtowed solemnly to pay his respects! He knelt willingly!
"Master Changsun, Hanxin has been taught by you since childhood. Although we are not officially master and disciple, we are in fact master and disciple! Today, you were deceived and mistakenly believed that I was in danger. You rushed here to save me at the risk of your life. Although Hanxin is extremely happy..."
"But I also want to question you, sir. How could you be so impulsive and rush into battle without asking the truth? This has resulted in heavy casualties on both sides, and you, sir, cannot escape blame!"
Yue Hanxin's words seemed to be blaming, but in fact they were excuses! By limiting the conflict between the two sides to Zhangsun Wuwo's eagerness to save people, he invisibly prevented the worst consequences!
Zhangsun Wuwo understood the meaning of the strings and kowtowed again, tears streaming down his face. "Princess Yan, I, this old minister, cannot escape the blame this time. After I return to the capital to report on my duties and fight, I will certainly come to Youzhou to apologize. You can kill me or chop me up as you wish, to comfort the souls of the Taiyue soldiers who died because of me!"
Han Zhiruo, who had been hiding behind, sighed helplessly. The children of aristocratic families who lived under someone else's roof were always ready to sacrifice everything for their family!
Changsun Wuwo was deceived by others, who else could deceive him? Perhaps only he could stand up to me!
"Your Highness, seeing you rushing off to the battlefield, I was afraid something might go wrong, so I took it upon myself to run to the Dahe battlefield and personally meet Lord Changsun. That's how this disaster happened!"
Yue Hanxin nodded slightly. Han Zhiruo's identity had not been exposed in Youzhou, so it would be much easier for an ordinary maid who was eager to protect her master!
"Hmph! Lord Changsun, tie up this foolish idiot and torture her severely to find out her origins."
Changsun Wuwo hurriedly called his attendants and tied Han Zhiruo up. Apart from crying, she could not do anything inappropriate!
Regardless of how Tiance and Youzhou's more than 100,000 soldiers viewed this spectacle, the two sides ultimately remained united. Such a major event was averted without a trace.
The Tian Ce army gradually retreated to its base camp, and the army coming to support from the Great Wall was also arranged to settle in Tai'an Prefecture.
It is really unbelievable that the two sides, who were just on the verge of a tense battle with real guns, actually went back to their respective homes in such a tacit understanding!
After receiving the report, Liu Buqi breathed a sigh of relief. He ordered Lu Qinghou to continue running out of the city in his own name to reward the Tiance Army starting tomorrow, and at the same time asked Song Chen to rearrange the Tai'an defense line.
But she never showed up in Tai'an City! She really couldn't face the heroic souls who died in the battle!
He could only ask Guan Ying to record the names of these soldiers who died in the battle, and after Yue Lingxi returned, list them in the Shrine of Heroes and Martyrs, so that they could receive incense and offerings from the people of Youzhou!
…
The next day, Changsun Wuwo came to Tai'an Mansion with the head of a "maid" that he found from somewhere. It turned out that this maid was a spy from Yehe. Her purpose of coming to Youzhou was to find an opportunity to sow discord!
The news spread quickly, and the city erupted in anger! These damned Yehe spies were truly omnipresent! As for the real Han Zhiruo, she had already been sent back to Yanjing!
The army of Tiance Mansion did not rush to retreat, was it a complete show? Although the grassland army was repelled, no one knew whether it would attack again!
The obvious thing to do is to station the army ten miles outside the city in case of emergency!
A few days passed like this, and after making sure that the city wall was safe, Liu Buqi returned to Prince Yan's Mansion in Yanjing and officially began her confinement!
