Chapter 174: Why go to Xianyang City? Are we really going to steal the bride?
Yan Xingchuan was born in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. Several generations of his ancestors led troops to fight in battles. Influenced by them, he naturally loved soldiers like his own sons, just like his elders.
For example, if there were civilians who were willing to join the army, he would always give them land and money, hoping that they could arrange a stable life for their families.
He is not like those ambitious conspirators, nor is he like an overlord who will do anything to achieve his goal. Sometimes, he is even not qualified to be a qualified emperor.
He is not good at playing tricks and balancing left and right, taking advantage of one and then taking advantage of that.
But precisely because of his benevolence and kindness, more and more people followed him, and he had more and more soldiers under his command. After taking Pingzhou, Yuanzhou, Yunzhou and Laizhou, Northern Yan had increased its troops by 100,000.
This does not include the reserve army. If it were included, the number would be over 300,000.
After taking over Miaozhou, Beiyan will enter a period of recuperation and military training.
And this army will support Northern Yan in its fight for supremacy and ambition to dominate the world.
But with so many people, food and grass are a little insufficient. Now everyone is trying to find a solution, so Yan Xingchuan naturally doesn't dare to waste too much.
"That's a good idea." The members of Yanyunwei were carefully selected, and naturally there was no shortage of smart people, so they quickly figured out this idea.
Shangguan Tong nodded, then took the umbrella and left. Yanyunwei asked the kitchen to prepare the meal again and send it over.
"Master, if you don't eat..."
"I heard you. Put it down and eat it later. There's no need to send me off." Yan Xingchuan said calmly.
Yan Yunwei smiled awkwardly, then quickly retreated and closed the door.
Yan Xingchuan sat at his desk for a long time, and finally picked up his pen and wrote a few words to wish her a happy wedding.
As for the rest, I don’t know what to write, and I can’t write anything.
He quickly pressed the paper under the paperweight and didn't look at it again. He got up and left, ate a bowl of half-cold soup noodles, and then went to bed with his clothes on.
The rain had not stopped the next day, and it was freezing cold. The coldness gradually penetrated through the clothes and into the skin.
When Yan Xingchuan woke up, his head felt a little dizzy, he felt a little hot, and his body felt heavy.
Probably sick.
People are really strange. The physical discomfort strangely made his numb and pale mood better, and gave him a sense of satisfaction.
Like self-abuse.
But he knew he couldn't go on like this.
So they asked someone to invite a doctor to treat him.
"My Lord, you have caught a cold and have a fever. Did you sweat last night?"
"I've had several lives."
"Then take a good rest these few days. I'll go prepare some medicine. Once it's boiled, you can drink some. You'll be well in a few days."
After the doctor finished taking the patient's pulse, he stood up and left with the medicine boy. However, just as he turned to leave, he bumped into Yun Gang.
The doctor was already fifty years old. Although he was not old, his health was not very good due to the long-term military travel. He fell to the ground after being hit and almost died.
"Young man, you are so impetuous. Do you know how to respect the elderly?"
"Mr. Zhang." Yun Gang quickly helped the man up. "Forgive me, I'm sorry. I was in a hurry and didn't see clearly. Please don't be offended."
Military doctors still have a very high status in the army. Mr. Zhang Zhongshan is also a highly skilled doctor. He may not be as good as Jiang Cinian in detoxification, but he is also very good at treating injuries and epidemics. The military doctors in the army are either his disciples or half-disciples.
When Yan Xingchuan was poisoned in the past, although he could not detoxify him, he waited for the arrival of someone who could.
"Hmph!" Zhang Zhongshan's beard twitched with anger. "Don't get hurt, kid, or I'll be merciless."
After Zhang Zhongshan said this, he waved his sleeves and asked the medicine boy to help him leave.
Yun Gang didn't care about these things and walked into the house: "Master."
Yan Xingchuan took a sip of hot tea to clear his dizzy mind. Seeing him rushing over, half of his body wet from the rain, he frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Something is not right, then Mr. Jiang..." Yun Gang just opened his mouth, looked around vigilantly, and then leaned over to Yan Xingchuan's ear and said a few words.
Yan Xingchuan's pupils shrank slightly and he was completely stunned.
"Is everything you said true?"
"It's absolutely true." Yun Gang took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, on which was a portrait.
"This is the late crown prince."
Yan Xingchuan stared at the portrait, then reached out and took it.
It really looks like...
Yun Gang continued, "Mr. Shangguan and General Shen mentioned earlier that the imperial army's silence was a bit strange and did not seem to be the style of Crown Prince Jiang."
According to Jiang Shao's temperament, he would have led his troops to attack Yunzhou as early as when Yan Xingchuan went south to Laizhou.
Even if Chen Sui, Wu Tu and other soldiers were waiting for him, they would not let him get his wish.
But the silence and stillness are strange.
"The Duke of Ping's Mansion has prepared gifts and will send them to Xianyang City to congratulate Mr. Jiang and Princess Wang on their wedding."
"Is this the right time to send it?"
"Exactly."
If it is delivered at this time, and from Miaozhou, it will take at least twenty days to reach Xianyang City.
At that time, Jiang Cinian and Cui Si had already been married.
Was it to announce to the world that the daughter of the Cui family had married the emperor's grandson, had an alliance with the imperial court, and was related to the Duke Ping's mansion?
Yan Xingchuan crumpled the paper into a ball, then stood up suddenly and shouted:
"Prepare the horses."
The Yanyun Guards were a little confused. Their lord was still sick and it was raining outside. Where were they going?
"My Lord, where are you going?"
"Xianyang City."
Speaking of going to Xianyang City, the Yanyun Guards were also excited:
"Why are we going to Xianyang City? Are we really going to kidnap the bride?"
This is incredible! He finally got it and plans to rob it first?
Yan Xingchuan clenched his fingers, perhaps stimulated by the word "bride kidnapping", and his pale face slightly relaxed.
He said, "Yes, go and grab the bride."
"What are you still standing there for? If we set out today and travel day and night, we will surely reach Xianyang City ahead of time. If we are late, then it will be nothing."
"But the Lord's body."
"I'm perfectly fine. Go and saddle the horses."
Yanyunwei and others had no choice but to obey the order to prepare the horses, and take away the medicine that Zhang Zhongshan had prepared but not yet boiled.
Yan Xingchuan only had time to tell Shangguan Tong to take full charge of all matters in Yunzhou City, and then he took the Yanyun Guards and left Yunzhou City and rushed to Xianyang City.
When Shangguan Tong learned the news, the people had already left the city.
Shangguan Tong felt relieved but also worried.
He felt that in this matter, he had to either let it go or take it back by force. There had to be a decision.
If you are stuck in the same place and can't move forward or backward, that's when big problems will arise.
"Never mind, let him go."
If it succeeds, I will get what I want; if it fails, I will give up completely.
