When the two of them returned, there was already an envoy from the imperial court waiting for them to drink tea. When he saw Yue Pengju, the envoy took out the edict from Zhao Deji's hand, and Yue Pengju took a look, it was Zhao Deji who wanted him to return to the Xiangyang.

He wasn't too surprised about this edict. In fact, he wasn't in a difficult position either. He just felt that time was of the essence, and he had to leave as soon as possible. But, what surprised him was that the envoy said that the The little prince died young, that Zhao Deji wished to die, and that Qin Gui had returned.

When he heard this news, it was like a bolt out of the blue. He had already known that Zhao Deji was "impotent", and felt that it was strange.

After he had received his orders, the messenger went down the mountain.

After the envoy left, Hua Rong took the written edict, and saw the words written on it speak sincerely: "We have always known that Peng Ju is loyal and brave, but now that the mountains and rivers have collapsed, the people of our land are in danger, the ruler and his subjects are doing their best, we must expel the prisoners and reform the mountains and rivers."

She was very curious, why was Zhao Deji so courageous in this battle of words? Furthermore, according to normal practice, when Zong Han was there, he had once ordered the Song Jun to not get past the Xiangyang. But according to the edict from Zhao Deji, not only did it allow the army to pass through the Xiangyang, it could even reach the two rivers. Her heart trembled, could it be that Zhao Deji was really determined to fight the abductors? It was only now that he understood the reason why his husband had agreed to return to the Xiangyang right away — if he could take this opportunity to truly lead troops to the north, he wouldn't have to worry about being unable to reclaim both rivers.

She put down the imperial edict, but was still skeptical, "Even though the emperor gave the order to fight, the The little prince died young, and Qin Gui entered the cabinet. I'm afraid that the Da Song will never be able to reunite with the emperor's side again."

Yue Pengju was simply unable to decline or retreat from the competition with every word that was written in the edict. He was currently in the same mood as his wife, and although he was not afraid to go to the battlefield, how could his wife endure such a shock?

He muttered to himself for a moment: "Sister Shi Qi, I have no choice but to depart for Xiangyang. "The flames of war are drifting away outside, but the mountain is quiet and secure, and there are people taking care of it …"

Hua Rong glared at him: "I'll naturally be with you."

Knowing his wife's temperament, he could not bear to leave her pregnant wife alone in the mountains. Thinking that she still had more than five months to give birth to, he decided to take care of her as long as he could, so he said, "I'll arrange for a buggy to be brought over."

Hua Rong then laughed: "We always have to be together."

"Yes." I also want to see the child being born as soon as possible, hur hur. "

The two of them discussed and found Lu Da to say their goodbyes.

After Lu Da finished listening, he said angrily, "The imperial government always says it in a dignified manner, but once Qin Gui enters the pavilion, the world will never be at peace again. Penga, I'm afraid your ambition will never be satisfied in this lifetime. "

Yue Pengju remained silent. How could he not know? He said lightly: "Luckily there are still Zhang Henggong fighting in the imperial court."

"Zhang Jun activating Qin Gui means that he is an idiot!"

Yue Pengju was no longer able to respond. Originally, in the battle at the cave courtyard, Yang Me's power had been wiped out, and the internal situation had stabilized. He hoped that he could gather his power and attack from the north, but, if he did not get any support from the government, who would know?

Fortunately, Qin Gui had just entered, so he could only follow Zhang Jun's orders. He was temporarily not given the strongest authority, and if he could make use of this period of time, with his achievements on the battlefield, it would definitely be a good thing.

Although the table was filled with the smell of the mountain and desert, it was extremely sumptuous, but none of the three were in the mood to enjoy it, even Hua Rong did not have the energy to do so.

Lu Da then said, "Pengju, in Sprinkler's view, your volunteer for the northern expedition is truly difficult beyond belief."

"Big Brother Lu, please speak your mind."

"Pengju, you've gone on a large scale to attack the north, but now you've encountered three difficulties." The first problem was that victory was not allowed, and the second problem was that the generals of the various battle zones did not work together, so there was no difference between winning or losing; the third problem was that they did not agree with each other. Zhang Jun's temporary residence in Zai Yong was not a good thing to do, so when Qin Gui came in, he had to obstruct him no matter what. With such three levels of difficulty, how could he give it a try? "

The first difficulty that Lu Da spoke of was that Zhao Deji was already a frightened bird, he could not afford to lose and could only win and not lose; the second difficulty, for example, Great General Liu Guang, Zhang Jun and the others, would usually flee without fighting. Especially Zhang Jun, he was a completely ordinary general who was proficient in internal conflict and was afraid of external battles. The only one he could rely on was Han Zhongliang. Even if General Sichuan Shan, Wu Jie, was an outstanding general, and was excluded from the Northern Channeling System, he could not be counted on either. If he could not unite the troops, how could he mobilize troops to fight together on a large scale?

Yue Pengju knew that this dynasty's martial general would never be on good terms with him, so in order to restore his relationship with the other generals, he gave the large amount of spoils of war he had obtained from the water battle in the courtyard to the others as gifts. He sent people to deliver two large ships to Han Zhongliang, Zhang Jun, Liu Guang and the others. Han Zhongliang and Liu Guang both replied to express their friendliness, praising the tall and fine water boat in the courtyard. Only Zhang Jun did not reply. Zhang Jun was narrow-minded, thinking that Yue Pengju was just showing off, and getting jealous. Yue Pengju also knew that it was the case, but his ambition was to establish a relationship with the heroic Han Zhongliang, so he had no choice but to take the other two into consideration. Even though he knew that Zhang Jun was unable to befriend him, he had no choice but to do so.

As for the problem with the general, the two of them understood that as long as Qin Gui entered the cabinet, who knew how many obstacles he would face in his future military operations.

"Zhang Jun is resourceful, but he is headstrong and presumptuous. Sprinkler had met this person before when he was just a little boy. He was born a Scholar and was very proud and arrogant. But Qin Gui is cunning, and good at using the wind to guide the wind, as long as he can endure it for a while, Zhang Jun will lead the way. "

Yue Pengju pondered for a moment. This water battle in the cave was supposed to be a great opportunity for Zhang Jun to get to know Supreme Commander, but he and Zhang Jun did not have any intimate relationships. Furthermore, the dynasty did not allow martial generals to take part in politics, so if he suggested to Zhang Jun to guard against him, it would be a huge taboo, and not only would Zhang Jun not listen, he would also be deeply wary of him.

"Qin Gui is sinister and ruthless. Furthermore, he has an envoy from the Golden Man behind him. I'm afraid that one day, there will be a calamity. Pengju, although you cannot disobey the orders of the imperial government for the time being, since the imperial government has decided to negotiate peacefully, there will not be any long-term battles. You need to understand the principle of rushing the flow and retreating bravely, understand the principle of self-preservation, and not hold on in vain, sacrificing yourself in vain. "

Yue Pengju said solemnly: "Thank you Big Brother Lu for your advice. Pengju will definitely take good care of this matter."

This time, the three of them had very heavy points. Early on the morning of the second day, the two of them bade farewell to Lu Da and rushed to Xiangyang.

Along the way, the carriage rumbled, and the horses galloped. The sound of firecrackers could be heard, and the two of them realized that it was yet another new year. Yue Pengju did not ride a horse either and sat in the horse carriage with his wife, accompanying her the whole way.

She was a famous Knight with a wide area, her horse walking smoothly and steadily. In addition to the comfortable and soft interior of the carriage, Hua Rong didn't feel too uncomfortable sitting or lying down.

To prevent any accidents, Yue Pengju hired a middle-aged female servant Liuma to accompany him. In the war, her husband and children had both died miserably. She had no one to rely on, so naturally, she was happy to be hired.

The atmosphere and the joy of the children in his womb this New Year completely suppressed the bad news of Qin Gui entering the pavilion. Hua Rong leaned against her husband's embrace and took a nap, then sat up and opened the curtain to look at the desolate winter outside. The further north she went, the colder the weather became.

Flying Snow drilled through the curtain, she anxiously closed the curtain and raised her head: "Peng Gao, we have to hurry, it would be great if we could come to Xiangyang to celebrate New Year."

"Sister Shi Qi, we are hurrying on our journey. It can't be any faster. "

"But this year, we did not see any large numbers of Fourth Prince soldiers, and this year's Autumn Defence was only the layout, so it was not of any use. Penga, what do you think Jin Wushu is planning? "

Yue Pengju said calmly: "I have heard from King Qin that early in the year, Jinguo experienced a massacre and purge. Zong Han and the others were all secretly executed, and the generals who could fight were mostly dead. Otherwise, they wouldn't have accepted the peace talks. Jinguo is currently bragging with all her might about the attack, most likely because they are trying to put on a brave front, but none of them are doing anything, and because of that, we don't need to rush at all … "

Hua Rong took out the death-saving Iron Vouchers s from Jin Wushu and read it carefully, before sighing: "If only there was a day when the combined assault decided to execute Jin Wushu. "That way, we can use this to threaten him …"

Yue Pengju shook his head: "Although Jin Wushu is not as good as Zong Han and the others in battle, but in terms of strategy and strategy, he is far superior to them. After a few consecutive purges, he was safe and sound, and was not an ordinary person. He is the most fanatical leader of the Battle Faction in the Jinguo, and he has led the large-scale war against Song over the past few years. He actually did not make any moves in the autumn of this year, which means he should be able to protect himself and hide his strength for the time being … "

Hua Rong nodded her head, and suddenly said: "Jin Wushu loves to catch people off guard. Since there is no autumn defense, would he set off in the early spring or summer?"

"It's possible!"

Golden Army was afraid of the heat, and it had always been autumn winter, but it did not mean that Jin Wushu had to change his tactics and use the army in the spring and summer.

"Then wouldn't that mean we have to strengthen spring defense?"

"The only thing we are afraid of is that the imperial government will let down its guard once winter passes. If the gold soldier attacks without restraint, it would be hard to guard against them. "

Just as the two of them were on their way, Zhao Deji received a report from the messenger.

When Zhao Deji heard that Yue Pengju had recovered from his injuries and rushed to Xiangyang, he was extremely happy. However, the following news made his heart churn, he did not know what it felt like. The envoy had reported that Yue Pengju's wife was already in top six. He was not in the mood to listen to what the emissary had to say next. He only felt his mind buzzing, and after a long while, he mumbled to himself weirdly, "How could Rong Er get pregnant? "How could that be?"

The envoy thought that he was blaming himself for his actions. He knelt down in fear and said, "This subject is not lying. Madame Yue is indeed pregnant …"

He waved his hand and ordered the envoy to retreat. A wave of anger rose from the bottom of his heart, it was unknown if it was jealousy or anger, but he said loudly: "Hurry and summon Wang Jixian, this servant actually dares to lie to us!"

Wang Jixian had already been informed by the Young Eunuch along the way. He learnt that the reason for Emperor Long Yan's anger was because Yue Pengju's wife was pregnant! He thought that things were not going well, but he could not think of any response at the moment. He could only rush into the hall and kneel down.

Zhao Deji sat on the Dragon Throne and spoke with a stern voice: "Wang Jixian, you dare to deceive us? Why is Hua Rong pregnant? "

Perspiration the size of beans rolled down from Wang Jixian's forehead. He had been ordered several times to treat Hua Rong and every time, he would say categorically that Hua Rong would never give birth in her life. He couldn't figure it out, but the truth was right in front of him. He could only kneel down and kowtow, "This little one is incompetent, this little one's medical skills are incompetent, this little one deserves to die a thousand times for her crimes …"

Wang Jixian naturally did not dare to accept the great crime of "criminals bullying the monarchs", he could only say that his medical skills were bad, after all, Zhao Deji's anger had not yet subsided, and he shouted: "Since it's an incompetent, incompetent, and mediocre doctor, what's the use of staying in the palace? "Get out of here …"

Wang Jixian kowtowed again, "Thank you Shangguan Family for your great kindness!"

As he chased Wang Jixian out of the palace, he couldn't calm him down. He grabbed a big vase of kiln and smashed it onto the ground, and with a cracking sound, he leaned on the Dragon Throne and panted harshly. Why did he have to grieve, rage and jealousy to lose his son? How could he be so favored by fate?
