Chapter 688
Lin Shuangyu thought about the news of the destruction of the city of Futu for a while.
Her father would not act voluntarily at this moment.
The Futu City was controlled by the people of Zetian City, and the escaped Futu City Chief Envoy came to find his father, probably to help Futu City, but the Secret Palace was also severely damaged, so it would definitely not be able to help, so... The Futu City and the Secret Palace have been in peace for so many years, because the Secret Palace has the life gate of the Futu City. If the Futu City Lord knew that there was no hope of seizing the city, it would be normal to destroy it.
Thinking of this, Lin Shuangyu felt a little relieved.
"I asked someone to send a letter from my father. Dad should have received it?"
She asked her father and the others to retreat to western Sichuan, or choose a safe place to avoid it for the time being. It seems that her father should have listened to it.
The cold fragrance came and went, and I didn’t know that Lin Shuangyu sent a letter to Baili Jiahua, but the secret palace servant delivered the message without any mistakes, and it should have been almost there.
"By the way, Han Xiang, it seems that she hasn't received any news from Youzhou in a few days..."
Yi Jiuxi went to Youzhou, which was also a dragon's and tiger's den, so she was naturally worried, so she asked the secret palace servants to convey the situation in Youzhou at any time through information channels.
"How many days?" Once the message channel is opened, it will not be interrupted for at most three days.
"It should be five or six days!"
Jiuxi's route is related to his safety, so she did not let your secret palace servant stare at Jiuxi, but just asked someone to send back information about Youzhou directly.
"Five or six days? There is something wrong, I'll ask them to check what's going on! Little Palace Master, the prince should have arrived in Youzhou now, right?"
Han Xiang heard Lin Shuangyu say something wrong even after five or six days. Could it be that the prince made some big noise there?
That's wrong! This news is back and forth, even if their channels are faster, it will take time!
It shouldn't be long since the little palace master received the news from Youzhou for the first time. In other words, the little palace master stopped after receiving it for only one or two days.
When the news broke, the prince must have not arrived in Youzhou yet, so it should have nothing to do with the prince, as long as the prince is fine!
"It should be a few days..."
Lin Shuangyu took the horse led by Han Xiang, turned over and drove forward, and replied, judging from the current situation, the situation in the northwest will not be unexpected!
She was quite surprised that the court did not organize a large-scale attack. The court gathered a lot of troops in the northwest, but never made any big moves. She and the prince had always knew this in their hearts.
Although Daxia has many soldiers and horses, the strongest among the countries at present, Daxia has been established for too short and has not had time to regain military power. In other words, the military power is not completely in the hands of the court, which has always been a big trouble for the Emperor of Daxia. When the Yi family first started to make trouble, they often took advantage of the power, and there were not many military powers in their own family!
This is also the reason why the late Emperor of Daxia always wanted to move the military power of various families after its founding.
When the birds are gone, the good bow should be hidden!
In fact, the current situation in Daxia has also exposed that in addition to a fatal problem, the Daxia royal family lacks the ability to govern.
When they were born and died together, the country of Daxia was conquered. After the country was stable, the families kept holding on to the military power. What does it mean?
They were worried, or the Daxia royal family did not have the ability to give them the military power with peace of mind!
Among them are the Yun family and the Huo family. The Gong family is now closely related to the Gong family. Although there is a noble concubine in the harem of the Duke of Jin's mansion, the royal family may not be stable. Now the Yun family has returned to western Sichuan, and the Huo family in Youzhou... is obviously not under the control of the royal family.
Once the big head loses control, the other ones with relatively small potential will wait and see, which is actually a chain reaction!
Daxia did not dare to use coercive means easily, for fear that the chaos in the army would not be able to control the situation during this war, so it would not be established without breaking it!
The court will definitely have big moves recently. If you want to do something, you have to do something big. If you guess correctly, it should be Youzhou!
The troops in Youzhou have not moved, and it is impossible for the imperial court to dispatch troops across the country to leave Youzhou, that is, Youzhou has not been waiting for the dispatch... The imperial court should have taken action against Youzhou.
"Han Xiang, except for Hongtu and the people guarding the Lin family, all the secret palace people around us were transferred to Youzhou, and were ready to pick up the prince in Youzhou at any time! We also sent people to send letters to the eight sides left by Yaofang and let them enter western Sichuan!"
When she left Yaofang, she finally decided to let Bafang stay in Yaofang.
Now in a turbulent autumn, Zetian City has gradually surfaced, and she needs talented people around her.
Han Xiang did not hesitate and responded and went to give orders.
This time she came back, she felt that the little palace master's strength had improved again! Although the little palace master deliberately hid his inner breath, he was around him and could occasionally feel it from the other party when he was close.
Youzhou
It has been three days since Yi Jiuxi arrived in Youzhou. The token was sent out and the stones sank to the sea!
The Huo family did not react at all!
The day after they arrived, the people from the court came.
The one who came was Zhao Yuanchu, but he was not the same as Zhao Yuanchu they met before.
"Prince, what does Huo Zhende mean?"
General Gu was uneasy for two days, and he sent out his military talismans without a single splash!
The people from the court arrived, how could they not worry?
If Huo Zhende said something casually, the court would immediately enfeoff Youzhou.
General Gu's mouth was so anxious that his mouth was blistering, but a certain prince sat in the teahouse and was drinking tea leisurely, and the wind did not move!
"Elder General, this lipstick is good, you can try it!" He rolled up his sleeves and picked up the pot and poured a cup of tea for the other party.
At this time, there was no intention to taste tea. General Gu responded and took a sip. Why did the prince pour it himself? He smashed it. It was true that it would not smell any. He put down the cup and started to speak again.
"Don't be anxious, the veteran general, it's a good thing if you don't react now. It's been two days since Zhao Yuanchu came here. If Huo Zhende seemed to show his loyalty, we wouldn't be able to drink tea quietly at this time. Let's take a look at the scenes between the court and the Huo family army first. Don't worry about anything else, give the Huo family some time."
This is a game, to see who is more calm.
The court came here at this time, but it was actually quite good!
It just so happens that the Huo family can be given a buffering time to lubricate, and they can wait here with peace of mind. At most, the Huo family will come to visit in two days.
The sixteen counties of Youzhou have long been surrounded by the Huo family, and it is not difficult to find them. Moreover, he did not deliberately hide his whereabouts, and they only avoided the people of the court.
Of course, the court could not have imagined that Yi Jiuxi would leave western Sichuan and come to Youzhou alone at this time.
As soon as Yi Jiuxi finished speaking, Yinxing appeared.
"Tell me!" Yi Jiuxi put down the teacup and leaned against the chair and looked at the street view outside the window. The private room was surrounded by people from Yinxing, so she was not afraid of listening to anything.
Yin Xing nodded, "This time Zhao Yuanchu brought the order to mobilize troops and asked the Huo family army to send 150,000 troops to the northwest battlefield."
"Hao Jiake accepted the conversation?" General Gu asked hurriedly.
If the Huo family agrees at this time... they will be in trouble.
Shaking his head, "Huo Zhende, the current head of the Huo family, returned to Zhao Yuanchu and said that the soldiers and horses in Youzhou were scattered in the 16 counties, and it would not be a matter of worrying for a while. It would take time. Besides,... Their Huo family's old lady is about to have her birthday, and several people have returned since ancient times... The Huo family's male, young and old, are afraid of it in the army... So they celebrated their birthday and set off again."
The first reason is reluctant, and the reason behind... I'm afraid Zhao Yuanchu will be furious when he hears it.
The military orders were as high as a mountain, but the Huo family refused to send troops on the grounds of spending their birthdays for the old lady.
"The Huo family is brave enough. It is obvious that they refuse to send troops and refuse. They are so obviously dragged on it. Do they want to force the court?" General Gu pinched his beard and analyzed seriously.
The worse the Huo family's attitude towards the court, the more beneficial it was for them, and the veteran general felt a little relieved.
Turning his head to look at Yi Jiuxi, the reverse expression still had no expression on Yi Jiuxi's face. In the past few days, he found that the prince's thoughts became increasingly unpredictable. His emotions were not reflected in his eyes, and there was no turbulence in his eyes. It was actually quite terrible to hide a person's emotions so much that he did not show any signs of water.
Yi Jiuxi faced General Gu's gaze without a trace of dodging and let him look at it.
He still looked light and calm, as if everything was under control.
"The old general is right, it's just a word for forced . Perhaps, the Huo family has already obtained some news. The imperial court came to the imperial guards this time, but it was not only here to send the order, but probably also had big moves."
Big move? Listening to Yi Jiuxi's analysis, the old general frowned, what big move?
At this time, the imperial court could not shoot itself in the foot.
If the Huo family openly rebelled, the soldiers and horses around Youzhou combined together would probably not be able to do anything to the Huo family.
Besides, the imperial court was at this time when it was time to use troops.
"Prince...you guess what the court would do?" For some reason, the old general felt that the prince seemed to have insight into everything, so he was drinking tea here so leisurely and watching the fire from the other side.
Yi Jiuxi pursed her lips and smiled slightly, her eyes sly.
"The old general wants to hear it?"
He raised his hand and made a request to clean up, signaling the other party not to worry and have tea first.
Seeing this, General Gu adjusted his emotions and calmed himself down. This time, he would have a bit of tea tasting.
"The court will not take action against the Huo family openly. First, the military strength is insufficient, and second, there is no need. If as expected, if the Huo family does not send troops in three days, the court will probably not hesitate to enforce Youzhou. The commander Zhao should have come with this imperial edict. The Huo family does not rebel clearly, and the court does not take action explicitly. The Huo family will drag the court, and it depends on who can drag the person down, but... Youzhou will not drag the court after all."
Yi Jiuxi told the story without any haste, and everything was already clear.
Censored Youzhou?
General Gu widened his eyes and looked at Yi Jiuxi again, but he was in a state of ease. The prince had thought of the attitude of the Huo family and the plans of the court in the morning, so he was not in a hurry at all. No wonder he said he would wait for another two days.
"The ban... If the imperial court really banned Youzhou, it would be more than the Huo family's soldiers, but also tens of thousands of people in Youzhou!"
If a place is banned, no one is allowed to go in Youzhou, no one can go in or out, let alone other things. Youzhou will be isolated from the world. No matter that, even water sources, the court will take action.
...So, a place has been banned rarely implemented in all dynasties, which is a damaging force!
Thinking of this, General Gu shook his head, "Prince, if the imperial court really implements a ban, it is possible to use the Huo family's troops to... directly rebel, and you will attack Youzhou."
The sixteen counties of Youzhou have long been under the control of the Huo family. Can the Huo family surrender?
"The court came for the Huo family, not Youzhou! This will be known to the people."
Yi Jiuxi raised her eyebrows and crossed her hands and put them around at will. General Gu was knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and he should know the key in just one sentence.
Sure enough, after hearing Yi Jiuxi say this, the old general's face changed drastically. He stared at Yi Jiuxi. After a long time, he sighed while pinching his beard and shook his head. "This move of the imperial court has put the Huo family in a dilemma. The Huo family has been in the Youzhou area for so many years. The more the people of this people trust the Huo family, the harder the situation of the Huo family. If the Huo family leads troops out, they will abandon the people of Youzhou. The imperial court targets the Huo family, but the entire Youzhou is blocked. The Huo family firmly believes and followers, and sees their relatives again. Most of the Huo family's army has lived in Youzhou for several generations. What do the soldiers think?"
It can be said that if the Huo family really leads troops to fight, there will be something wrong with the Huo family army with this mind.
Also, if you abandon the people, how can the Huo family gain a foothold in the future?
The Huo family could only trap Youzhou or bow to the court.
Thinking of this, the old general had to admire the thoughts of the little emperor of Daxia in the dynasty. It was really wonderful to block the ban instead of taking action.
"Prince, it seems that Youzhou is a deadly move. Even if Huo Zhende comes up and is willing to follow western Sichuan, they will not leave Youzhou easily. The people of Youzhou cannot leave them."
