Chapter 218 Princess Yongqing, who feels resentful and wronged

Knowing that there are more than a thousand wounded soldiers in Huanzhou City, Luo Li also sent Siyu over, asking her to bring five female military doctors to help Guishou.

It was freezing cold outside, but the fire pot and the earthen kang in the house were warm as spring. Luo Li stayed in the warm house, drinking hot tea and eating the delicious snacks she brought with her. In this cold northern battlefield, she enjoyed a few days of comfortable life.

The commander-in-chief Pan Mei was still in Daizhou. When he learned that Shuozhou and Huanzhou were captured in one day, he was overjoyed.

The two brave and invincible blades of King Qin and Yang Yanzhao were really useful. At this rate, it would be just a matter of time before all the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were taken. The Western Army had made greater contributions than the Eastern Army, and as the commander of the Western Army, his contributions were also greater. This immortal achievement would be recorded in history books, and the title of a county king was a foregone conclusion.

Although Pan Mei was eagerly looking forward to it, as a famous general who had fought for many years, he also had extremely high military qualities. He knew that the strategy of Qin Wang Zhao Defang ordering the frontline soldiers to rest for a few days before attacking with all his strength was correct, so he did not give orders to urge them, but only sent troops to take over the defense of Yanmen Pass and Shuozhou, and ordered Yang Ye to lead his troops to wait in Huanzhou to join Qin Wang's Moyun Cavalry elite troops and prepare to attack Yingzhou.

The military supervisor Wang Quan was eager to go to the front to supervise the battle. Pan Mei had no choice but to let him lead 5,000 elite soldiers to take over the defense of Shuozhou City outside Yanmen Pass and supervise the battle nearby. The

urgent military intelligence was sent to the capital by the messenger. The victory news that the Western Route Army of the Northern Expedition captured two cities in one day flew into the palace.

The emperor was overjoyed! The flames of ambition to expand the territory jumped higher.

"Good! Good! Good!" The emperor stood up and shouted three times in a row. When he was about to praise the brave general who had made great achievements, a chill rose from the bottom of his heart and he swallowed the following words.

Qin Wang Zhao Defang was wise and courageous, with numerous ingenious plans and invincible bravery. He led two thousand elite Moyun cavalrymen deep into the enemy's territory, won by surprise, and captured Shuozhou City in one hour. This sharp blade is really useful for killing the enemy, but if the blade stabs back...

The excitement and ecstasy on the emperor's face slowly disappeared, and the heat in his eyes was replaced by coldness. He paced back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back.

Should I use this sharp blade to expand my territory for me? Or should I break this sharp blade that makes me jealous as soon as possible? ...

The great eunuch Wang Jien secretly watched the change in the emperor's expression, and thought silently in his heart: A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind! Qin Wang, the better you perform, the closer you are to death.

The emperor, whose ambitions had not been fulfilled, paced three times in the study room before finally making up his mind.

Let the sharp sword of the King of Qin take down a few more cities for me first! After all the sixteen states of Yanyun, which are of important military status, are taken into the bag, and a large army is stationed at the dangerous pass in the north facing Liao State, then the sharp sword of the King of Qin will be of no use.

"Draft an imperial decree to order the vanguard troops of the Western Route Army to attack Yingzhou and Yunzhou immediately while our army's morale is high, the enemy is afraid of fighting, the reinforcements have not arrived, and the defenders are in great chaos!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Wang Jien did not forget to flatter him before preparing the imperial decree and writing.

After her son left for the war, the Queen Mother fasted and chanted Buddhist scriptures every day. She copied scriptures in the small Buddhist temple, burned incense and prayed to the Buddha, asking the Buddha to bless her son Zhao Defang to return safely. The

more terrified she was, the more she wanted to find a spiritual pillar to rely on. The worried Queen Mother burned incense and prayed to the Buddha every day, forcing herself to believe that her son would return safely, but she became more and more depressed and haggard.

Princess Yongqing looked at her mother's haggard appearance, distressed and worried, but she had no way to comfort her. She sent people to send several messages to the Queen's sister-in-law outside the palace, hoping that the Queen's sister-in-law would come into the palace to comfort her mother. But for some reason, the sister-in-law was nowhere to be seen. Every time, her maid Ruhua would block her, saying that the sister-in-law was too busy to enter the palace.

What was the sister-in-law busy with? After the emperor's brother went to war, she didn't care about her husband's safety, but was still concentrating on making a lot of money? Princess Yongqing felt a little resentful and aggrieved, sister-in-law! After you rescued me from the fire pit of the marriage to Tubo, you just ignored me? Without you as the backbone, my mother and I were so panicked and uneasy in this deep palace, do you know?

"Princess, the Princess of Qin sent someone to send delicious food to you and the Queen Mother again." The close-fitting maid Wanting walked in with two food boxes with a smile.

Princess Yongqing's eyes lit up! : "Where is the person who delivered the delicious food? Did he tell her when the imperial sister-in-law would be free to come to the palace to visit me and my mother?"

"The person handed the food box to Eunuch Liu from the Yushenfang and left. After Eunuch Liu checked the food box, he sent a young eunuch to deliver it to Yayan Pavilion without saying anything else."

Princess Yongqing's eyes immediately dimmed. She pouted and said aggrievedly, "What's the point of the imperial sister-in-law sending people to deliver delicious food every few days? If she can't see her, no matter how delicious the food is, it will be tasteless."

Every time Princess Yongqing received delicious snacks sent by the Princess of Qin, she would be happy at first and then disappointed, feeling low, sad and aggrieved.

The maid Wanting advised with concern, "Princess, the Princess Qin must be busy with important things. When she is free, she will come to the palace to visit you and the Empress."

Princess Yongqing felt even more aggrieved and sad after hearing these words that never worked. Tears fell from her eyes, "Wanting, do you think the Empress's sister-in-law doesn't care about me and has forgotten me? I miss her so much, I miss her so much..."

The maid Wanting laughed secretly in her heart. The princess's immense dependence on the Princess Qin, her sad tears and her resentful tone made her look like a little girl abandoned by a treacherous man.

: "Princess, the Princess of Qin will not ignore you, nor has she forgotten you. The delicious snacks sent to the palace every few days are proof of this."

: "Humph! The heartless Luo Naocan, who only sends delicious food but never shows up, I don't want it!"

Princess Yongqing angrily scolded the emperor's sister-in-law for being heartless. After wiping her sad and aggrieved tears with a handkerchief, she still opened the food box, grabbed a handful of popcorn with her left hand, pinched a spicy stick with her right hand, and ate happily. The emperor's

secret order was delivered to the camp of the chief commander of Daizhou three days later by the messenger at an accelerated speed of 800 miles. After receiving the order, Pan Mei pondered for a moment and ordered someone to send the secret order to Shuozhou to the military supervisor Wang Quan.

Wang Quan, who had originally opposed the decision of Qin Wang Zhao Defang to order the troops to rest after capturing two cities instead of pursuing the victory, was overjoyed when he received the secret order from the emperor. He immediately led 300 guards and rushed to Huanzhou City to urge the battle with the emperor's will.

Qin Wang Zhao Defang, who was discussing military affairs with the father and son of the Yang family, heard that the military supervisor Wang Quan had arrived, and smiled faintly at Yang Ye, "Old General, the little devil is here. It seems that we have to send troops to Yingzhou in the next two days. The siege ladders and catapults you prepared should be processed by the craftsmen overnight. If a few more are made, there will be more protection for Yan Zhao and I to lead the army to attack the city."

Yang Ye nodded solemnly, "Your Highness, you and Yan Zhao will be in charge of the siege, and the logistics and resources will be well guaranteed."

Qin Wang stood up and said to Luo Li beside him, "Princess, you go back to the room for a while, General Yang and I will go to greet the military supervisor Wang."

Luo Li, who had been listening to the secret military meeting for a long time, drank tea and ate melon seeds. Without saying a word, she patted the melon seed shells that fell on her body and got up and went back to her room.

Since the female military doctor and the ghost-handed poison doctor brought by the Qin Wangfei, with their magical medical skills, have treated many wounded soldiers in the wounded camp of Huanzhou City, especially the ghost-handed poison doctor and the woman named Siyu, who actually worked together to save several dying people with broken intestines and arrows in the chest, Yang Ye respected and appreciated the Qin Wangfei from the bottom of his heart.

But at this moment, the old general was also complaining in his heart, "Your Majesty, you also know that you shouldn't bring women to listen to military meetings? As soon as the supervisor arrived, you immediately knew how to abide by military discipline."

Wang Quan, who came with the imperial edict, stood at the gate of Huanzhou City Government Office with an arrogant look on his face, wearing a thick fur coat and under the protection of 300 personal guards. When he saw Qin Wang Zhao Defang and Yang Ye and his son coming out to greet him, he took two steps forward with a fake smile and greeted Qin Wang and Yang Ye and his son.

Qin Wang and his two men welcomed the military supervisor Wang Quan into the government office. After a few pleasantries, Wang Quan read out the secret edict sent by the emperor.

After Qin Wang Zhao Defang received the edict, he stood up and smiled faintly, "To be honest, General Wang, even if the emperor's edict urging troops to be dispatched has not arrived, General Yang and his son and I have discussed that we will send troops to Yingzhou tomorrow."

Wang Quan opened his mouth in anger, but he couldn't say a word. I have urged you several times in Shuozhou, but you have always found excuses to delay. As soon as the imperial edict arrives, you have already agreed to send troops to Yingzhou tomorrow?

He swallowed the anger that rushed to his throat and said with a grim face: "It would be great if we can send troops tomorrow!"
