Chapter 357 New Year's Eve, Defeat
Unfortunately, they are doomed to be disappointed.
At the end of November, when it was snowing heavily, a new prophecy of the prophet spread all over the world.
Looking at the old King of Wu, who was much older, he said in a low voice, "What are you talking about? Say it again."
The little official who was pushed out as cannon fodder gritted his teeth with hatred, and his legs and stomach trembled with fear, and his words stumbled a little. "If you return to the emperor, the prophet, the prophet predicted that in this cold winter, the northern part of the State of Wu will be hit by a snow disaster. If you
The big hall fell into a dead silence.
"Bun!" The king of Wu kicked over the luxurious furnishings in front of him, and his anger rubbed up and provoked. This was a provocation. She used this method to tell them that she was still alive. They paid such a big price but didn't get anything.
Throw out such a prophecy, do they believe it or not?
If you believe it, you must take action, which is equivalent to declaring that they have recognized the identity of the prophet in the world.
Isn't it a big deal? But they really believe in the identity of the other party's prophet in their hearts. If they don't do anything and clearly don't believe it, if they are killed and injured at that time, they will lose all the hearts of the people.
I'm not willing to do anything! No matter what you do, you are at a disadvantage!
How can this make the King of Wu not angry!
"Dare to ask the emperor, how to arrange it!"
"How to arrange it?" King Wu was furious and gritted his teeth and said, "Can you believe what she said? When did it be my turn for Princess Liang to dictate about the State of Wu? If you have that leisure to worry about, it's better to think about how to take down the State of Liang for me, instead of losing the city again and again.
"I am incompetent, I am guilty."
"Get out of here."
The king of Wu's anger was expected by Xia Hanqiu, and his inaction was not surprising. Thinking of the picture seen in the prophecy, Xia Hanqiu sighed deeply. She told the world publicly, and someone should believe it.
She is not completely kind-hearted. As soon as the prophecy comes out, if the king of Wu has a move, it is equivalent to telling the world that he believes that she is a prophet, which may be very low.
But even if he doesn't believe it, she is still the one who benefits.
Even if Wu did not do anything, ten of the 100 people believed in her. She had accumulated virtue, and she was careful of her kindness because of her early warning, and those who were not affected by the disaster would feel that Princess Liang was a kind-hearted person for the other country. At present, they can't see anything good. In the future, the rebound
This year's snow is particularly heavy, and it is a little difficult to travel. Xia Hanqiu feels that she has dressed like a ball, and still can't stop the cold wind that invades her clothes.
The government has long posted a notice that the wind and snow this year is greater than in previous years. As early as the beginning of November, soldiers helped the people strengthen the roof. By the end of the year, there is no rumor that people have been killed due to the snow disaster.
The situation in the State of Wu is not good.
After the prophecy came out, with the mentality that it is not wrong to prepare more, basically all the people have made more or less preparations, but the little preparation made by most people can't resist this year's wind and snow at all. The houses collapsed, and the number of people's deaths and injuries is increasing day by day.
Because of the previous prophecy of Princess Daliang, many people have paid attention to this matter. When things were really like those in the prophecy, the awe of the prophet was added to a little. The whole family, who had secretly rubbed the whole family's property, moved to Daliang.
The morale of the armies of Min and Wu leaked again and again. Liang took advantage of the victory to chase, and it was also expected to add more victory.
Everything seems to be developing in a good direction.
This year, Huiting City is almost jubilant, and it is just making up to celebrate in the snowy world.
But at this time, the atmosphere of the King Qi Mansion was so heavy that there was no trace of New Year's joy. Even Zao Zao was smart enough to close his mouth silently and be serious.
Duan Ziyi asked the most critical question, "How about death and injury?"
The soldier who galloped all the way to deliver the war report held a heater in his arms. After drinking two cups of hot tea, his body was still swinging. His voice trembled like the autumn wind and falling leaves, but he briefly said what he knew as much as possible. "In return to the words of the prince, nearly 20,000 soldiers were killed, more General Guo blocked an arrow for His Highness, and his injury was fine. His Highness is well.
"Is Nian An injured?"
When the question was heard by the princess, the soldiers became more and more respectful. "Yes, before the general came back, General Guo gave a special opinion to the general and told the general to bring a message to the princess that he was only slightly injured. Please don't worry."
It's really a minor injury. Xia Hanqiu can't keep worrying. After a rough calculation, Nian An has been on an expedition with the army for a year and a half. Every reply says that she is very good and everything is good, but how can she not know how to gritten her teeth to adapt to the days when there is no one to
Duan Ziyi opened Duan Baiyu's letter and hummed softly, "It's really promising. He is proud to take down so many cities, but let so many people pay for his pride. How can he face those many soldiers?"
The loss of two cities is so great, and the casualties are so great. This is the worst time to lose when you rise up from the beam. If it's someone else, it's okay. There are victories and defeats in the war, and it's enough to win back.
But it is the future monarch who has been defeated. If it spreads, I'm afraid that all his previous contributions will be erased, that is, those who have been convinced of him will be questioned again.
Duan Zi was so annoyed that he couldn't wait to run to the front line to clean up people.
But not only can't do this, but he has to find a way to minimize the influence of this matter.
"Come on, take him down to rest."
The soldier with frostbite got up and retreated quickly. When he walked, his legs arched unnaturally out. You don't have to think about it, but he knew that the inner thigh must have been injured because of the speed.
Xia Hanqiu felt a little headache. On a good New Year's Eve, because of this bad news, she couldn't be lively. She simply arranged, "Mother, master, eldest brother, third brother, Yang Lao, you all go to rest. I'll discuss this matter with Changzhi."
"Mother..." Early in the morning, Xia Hanqiu opened his hand.
Xia Hanqiu wanted his mother to take her away early. Duan Ziyi took the lead and said, "It's okay. Hold it. Just think it's the New Year together."
Xia Hanqiu thought about it and took the child over.
Early on, he was extremely well-behaved, lying quietly in his mother's arms without quarreling.
Holding his son's soft hand, Xia Hanqiu looked up and said, "It's impossible to hide this news. What are you going to do?"
"I can only do some small actions to guide the rumors from being too unpleasant. If you really want to save it, you have to rely on Bai Yu himself. A defeat is nothing. Even if there is damage, it is normal, but he will never lose again next. That's not what I'm worried about."
"What is that?"
"De morale." Duan Ziyi frowned, "Before, Fujian and Wu have been suppressed and their morale has been low, but this time they have turned over, which will definitely drive morale to other places. I'm afraid the army of the State of Liang will be suppressed. I'm afraid it's impossible to take the city like before."
"The speed of taking the city like before was not normal, and it's okay to slow down. I'm more worried about Bai Yu. Is he still young and can't stand it?"
"You underestimate him." Duan Ziyi picked up the letter left aside and handed it to her, "It's not the Duan family if it's so easy to be knocked down."
Xia Hanqiu took it over and glanced a few times and understood that the letter was full of fighting spirit. Even if there were a few words of admitting her mistake, it could make her think of him gritting his teeth.
It's true that I haven't been knocked down at all.
"It seems that we are worried for nothing. Does he mean that he intends to take back the city? Do you want to fight hard?"
"Qiu'er, you lend me Shi'an."
"Do you want Shi An to go to Bai Yu's side?"
Duan Ziyi nodded, "Xide is very good. He will be a good military teacher if he grinds it again, but he is too young to sink completely. Shi'an is a person who came from adversity. Xia De is good for him for a while."
"All right, I'll tell him."
"It was originally scheduled to be unprinted on the fifth day of the first lunar month. At present, it needs to be unprinted in advance. Tomorrow morning, we will go to the government office first, and then let people go to each family. If you really can't get out, we will continue to take a vacation. Half of it will be enough
"Good." I have to be busy on the first day of the Chinese New Year. I'm afraid I'm going to be busy to death this year. As long as I think about Xia Hanqiu, I feel weak. When will it end?
The situation was much better than the two expected. When the families received the news that the prince and princess went to the government office early in the morning, the government officials packed up and got on the carriage and went to the government office before they came to the door.
In the last count, only eleven officials from other cities who were attracted by the decree and retained after Mao Sui's self-recommendation returned to their hometown for the Spring Festival, and many of them were in the pavilion.
"Mr. Shi, I'm going to borrow your help this time."
Shi An smiled bitterly. He knew better than anyone that going to His Royal Highness was his best way out. After all, that was the person who would ascend to the throne in the future.
But he also really felt that it was very comfortable to follow the princess. She gave herself enough trust. When things happened, she would not pretend to understand. She only felt that her idea was the best in the world and forced him to accept it. He was more willing to use it for the princess than anyone else.
I have refused once before, but the situation at present can't allow him to disobey any more. He bowed deeply to the end and said, "I obey the order."
Seeing that he was relieved, Xia Hanqiu was relieved, "The situation over there is not good. Please bother me a lot. Although Bai Yu is young, he has a high heart and can accommodate people, but the people in that position have a strong desire to control. My husband usually makes me feel very comfortable when he gets along with me, so he gets along with him Hi."
"Yes, thank you very much."
"I'm also selfish." Xia Hanqiu sighed and said, "Xia De came from the negative. I'm afraid he will be hit a lot this time, and he has to ask Mr. He is on the same path as you, but his ability is far from it. If you get a deep heart, I'm afraid he will have some thoughts in his heart. If that's true, One or two, sometimes, jealousy and unwillingness can ruin a person. That's my cousin, and he has always been kind to me. I have to think farther. Don't laugh at me, sir.
"I understand the meaning of the Empress, I will not let the Empress down." RS
