Chapter 36 Appointment, Assassination
Los Angeles, the former small palace of Western Qin, has now become the cold palace.
In the conference hall, Bailan and Situtong, Yi Qing, Molan, and Lv Fangcai, Xu Yun and Chen Zhong who came from Jiahe Pass were sitting at their desks to deal with official affairs. In the past few days, everyone has been dealing with post-war affairs, and now they have begun to deal with the government affairs after taking over Los Angeles. Everyone present is full of *. Everyone was busy for most of the time and was about to discuss the next battle arrangements.
"A letter from the princess, the prince!" A bodyguard outside the door reported.
"Bear in!" White and blue road.
The bodyguard came in and handed a letter to the white and blue hand respectfully, and retreated out.
White and blue lowered her head and opened the letter and read it. The corners of her lips couldn't help but smile. Looking at her smile for the first time in the past few days after the war, everyone was very curious about what the letter said could make her so happy.
All her confidants present and understood her feelings with Hanwang, but if she didn't say it, they were naturally embarrassed to ask about the content of the letter. After all, it was a letter between husband and wife. Maybe it had nothing to do with business. It was a complete love letter.
Bai Lan put the letter on the desk and looked up at the people present. She knew that they were curious about the content of the letter. She smiled and said, "Yongcheng is the first checkpoint from Zhongcheng to our side. The prince has rebuilt and strengthened the gate of Rongcheng in the past few days. Rongcheng changed its name to Feirong Pass and asked me to send someone to guard it. When it comes to guarding the customs, the most experienced one is General Lu. How about General Lu going to guard this Feirong Pass? Jiaheguan was handed over to General Xu. General Xu followed General Lu for many years, and it was time to be alone.
"Everything will be at the disposal of the princess, and the veteran will definitely guard the Feirong Pass and prevent Qin Chen from stepping into half a step!" Lv Fang just got up and arched his hand.
Xu Yun, who was beside him, said briefly, "The last general will obey!"
Bai Lan nodded with appreciation and meditated for a moment: "Now Zhongcheng has sent Nie Yong to lead 400,000 troops, which is coming magnificently. It is estimated that we can reach Feirong Pass in five days. Our army is not enough. General Lu, General Xu, I can only give you 80,000 troops each. In addition, the Mo family's Tongzhu and Chen Dongbei will lead 30,000 each. The disciples of the Mo family came to help you guard the pass. I and the prince also have to lead 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack other cities outside the Feirong Pass. The soldiers are powerful and powerful. I will take the remaining 33 cities of Zhongcheng now within half a year. This road is difficult. Situ, General Yi and Molan will follow me to attack the city, so, later Fang's defense will be good for the two generals.
"Princess, don't worry, the last general will stick to the end!" Xu Yun and Lu Fangcai said in the same voice.
For the ability of the two, Bai Lan is extremely trusted. With the help of Mo's disciples, even if there are many soldiers, it is difficult for Nie Yong to break through the Feirong Pass for a while.
At this time, a carrier pigeon flew out of the window and landed directly on Molan's shoulder. Molan grabbed it and took down a roll of paper tied to her feet. She opened it. Her face changed slightly and looked up at Bai Lan and said, "Princess, Xue came to write a letter. Emperor Chu of Nanchu sent Princess Mingxin to Zhongcheng. She had the national book of Chu Emperor in her hand and the national letter. Rong seems to want to marry and form an alliance with Zhongcheng.
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people present changed. If Nanchu and Zhong Chengzhen form an alliance and work together to deal with the Hanwang Mansion, the Hanwang Mansion will immediately become an enemy, and the war situation will turn sharply, and the Han Palace will be extremely unfavorable.
"Marriage? Does Chu Ge want to marry Chu Mingxin to Qin Chen as a concubine? It seems that the lessons of those years are not enough. Chu Ge still doesn't give up and wants to make a comeback? Bai Lan snorted coldly. She never paid attention to Chu Ge, so she let him die in those years. Now even if he is the king of a country, in her eyes, he is still the annoying fly eight years ago.
"Princess, don't let their two countries succeed in marriage. We must prevent them from marrying and forming an alliance." Yi Qing, who had been relatively silent, said.
Bai Lan waved his hand and smiled indifferently and said, "Don't stop it, just let them form an alliance. Chu Ge is not worried. General Xu, the guys created in Jiahe Pass in the past two years, take them out to greet Chu Ge. Since he wants to die again, there is no need to show mercy. Mo Lan, you also brought us from Kanto this time. Let's sort it out. This time, we need to fight quickly and reduce the damage. Situ and General Yi go down and prepare. Let's order all the soldiers and horses and leave tomorrow. As for General Chen, just stay in Los Angeles, and the safety of Los Angeles will be handed over to you. Finally, Bai Lan looked at Chen Zhong, who had always been silent and steady, and appointed him as the general of Los Angeles.
Chen Zhong held his fist and led the order. He knew the importance of Los Angeles. Bai Lan did not hand over this important task to her father Meng Bo, but handed it to Chen Zhong, who was less than 30 years old, which really surprised everyone. However, at present, there is a lack of generals who can be alone in the cold iron army, and several confidants of the cold king and the princess, such as Mo Chen, Li Guowei, Yi Qing; Situ; Molan and others had to follow to the siege of the city, and it was impossible to stay and defend the city at all. Therefore, after thinking deeply, everyone found that Bailan's appointment was reasonable.
Molan continued: "Princess, Xue also said that there was also a move in the Northern Qi Dynasty. Wu Zixing transferred personnel to various northern Qi border gates and didn't know what he wanted to do."
Lv Fangcai frowned and said, "If Beiqi inserts another foot at this time, our army will be in danger, and the three sides will be attacked by the enemy, and our army's troops will be the most scarce among the four directions! Princess, since Beiqi has made some moves, we have to take precautions.
Seeing that everyone's eyebrows were also wrinkled together, Bai Lan smiled instead: "Ha ha, General Lu, don't worry. Northern Qi should not intervene for the time being. Speaking of which, our Han Wangfu is really many enemies. Zhongcheng and Nanchu have blood enemies with us. It's normal for them to form an alliance. This initial dispatch of troops. At that time, the prince and I both thought that as for Wu Zixing in Northern Qi, if he doesn't invade us, we naturally don't have to pay attention to him first. The strength of our army is the weakest among the four major countries, but the soldiers are precious and not much. My ghost 50,000 army can easily resist 500,000 soldiers and horses. Moreover, soldiers, no matter what's the use In any way, it is good to exchange the least casualties for the greatest benefit. In the past few days, nearly 200,000 soldiers have been lost, 150,000 soldiers have been lost in the Western Qin Dynasty, and our army has suffered less than 50,000 casualties. Therefore, you can put away your worries and take your place and fight with all your strength.
Listening to the confident tone of Bailan, everyone couldn't help but think of the miracle she created in the battle of Jiaheguan more than two years ago. Thinking of these recent battles, the cold palace can be said to be the biggest winner, not only four cities, but also only 50,000 casualties.
Thinking of this, everyone can't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Yes, the soldiers are expensive, not much, there are invincible armies like ghosts, and there are commanders such as white blue and Wen Qinghan leading them, so what if they are attacked?
Everyone retreated one after another, and Bai Lan leaned back in the chair slightly tiredly. Three days ago, the battle with Yun Xingyu was too fierce. She was weakened and her body was extremely weak. So far, she has not adjusted and can't use force at all. She thought that it should be okay to adjust her internal force, so she didn't let the military doctor come and have a look.
And in the past few days, she has found that she is easily tired, always wants to sleep, has a bad appetite, and wants to vomit after eating anything, which makes her look very bad and makes her think of a possibility.
"Come on!" She called to the door.
"Princess, my subordinates are there, please command!" A bodyguard quickly flashed outside the door, which was the dark guard left by Wen Qinghan's side, and his skills were naturally extraordinary.
"Please come with the accompanying military doctor!" White and blue said to the dark guard.
In fact, Molan, who has been with her, knows medicine, but now that Molan is busy outside, she has become the most idle person. Naturally, she can no longer disturb Molan's work.
After a while, a military doctor who was only 25 years old followed the dark guard. Bai Lan recognized that he was a disciple of the doctor, the younger brother of Leng Moyi, and Jun Mosan, who also had extraordinary medical skills. Over the years, because Leng Moyi devoted himself to the Hanwang Mansion, most of the excellent medical disciples also became military doctors of the Han Iron Army. .
After seeing the salute, Jun Mosan saw that the white and blue face was not very good, so he reached out to explore her pulse, pondered for a while, let go of her hand, and frowned and said, "The princess is not in good physical condition now. The princess is pregnant for more than a month. Three days ago, she fought so fiercely all day, so she hurt her vitality and fetus. If she doesn't take medicine to protect the fetus immediately, There is a risk of slippery tires.
Hearing this, a trace of helplessness flashed on Bailan's face. "D. Jun, please keep this matter confidential first. Now that the war has just started, the child has come untimely. If he says it, I'm afraid it will affect the spirit of the army and will be unfavorable to our military."
Jun Mo nodded three times and replied cautiously, "Please don't worry, my subordinates save it, but I'm afraid the prince can't hide it. I will immediately prescribe the fetal protection medicine for the princess. During the tenth month of pregnancy, the princess must remember not to use force again. Otherwise, even if the senior brother himself comes, he will not be able to save the little son."
"The prince should also hide it first. I will find the right time to tell him. There will be Dr. Lao Jun for everything. The medicine to protect the fetus is best made into pills, which is convenient to carry." Bai Lan insisted on hiding it. If he told Wen Qinghan, he would never let her go to the battlefield again.
Seeing that she was so persistent, Jun Mosan could only nod and agree. He turned around to decoct the medicine. Half an hour later, he came in with a bowl of medicinal juice and took out a box of pills to protect the fetus and gave it to Bai Lan.
After drinking the medicine, Bailan was very tired and got up and went back to bed.
It was night, and a few strange dark shadows fell on the roof of the palace where the white and blue lived.
The dark guards guard around the palace also appeared at the same time, fighting with those dark shadows. The white blue in her sleep opened her eyes and heard the fight outside. She got up and put on her coat. As soon as she opened the door, she felt a palm wind roaring and hit her face.
She quickly stepped back and flashed the sharp slap on her side. She was about to fight back. Suddenly, she remembered Jun Mosan's words. She could no longer use force, otherwise the fetus would not be guaranteed.
