reincarnated as emperor [rebirth]

Chapter 29. Invasion

In the summer of the sixth year of Dongcang Kingdom Calendar No. 20, the Hu tribe invaded the territory of Dongcang Kingdom, entered the country from the border, quickly occupied Pingzhou, and continued to move forward to other places.

The lord Huangfu Yunzheng immediately ordered Chen Xun and General Shang Liang to lead tens of thousands of troops each to besiege the Hu people on two routes, and they met in Pinggu outside Pingzhou.

Shang Liang and others had ambushed here early on. There were countless archers on the valley, but under the emperor's order, it was best to persuade them to retreat, so he did not launch a strong attack.

Let's say that before Hu Lie's army entered Pinggu, they listened carefully to the wind and grass around them, and suddenly felt that it was too quiet, but they had already reached this point, and there was absolutely no reason to retreat, so they continued to move forward.

Soon they saw the people blocking the road in front, they were undoubtedly Huangfu Yunzheng's people, Hu Lie sneered, galloped forward lightly on the horse's belly, and said loudly: "Huangfu Yunzheng can't be afraid, why? Don't dare to come by yourself?"

Chen Huan secretly clenched his fists, stared at him displeasedly, and responded after he finished speaking: "We are ordered by the emperor to come to meet Prince Hu Lie, and please pray for the safety of the people. It’s better to retreat quickly.”

"Oh, is this trying to persuade you to retreat?" Hu Lie laughed out loud, and after a while he put away his smile, his eyes were cold and bloodthirsty, "The superiors never care about how tragic the process of obtaining is, no matter how many people are sacrificed, as long as I will not hesitate to seize this country!" The safety of the people?what is that?As long as he can win the Dongcang Kingdom and lay the foundation for his future succession, what are the casualties?Without their sacrifices, how can there be a happy life in the future?

Hearing his so-called rhetoric, Shang Liang and Chen Yi looked at each other, knowing that it was useless to persuade them to retreat. Immediately afterwards, the Hu people shouted and rushed over. He gave a soft drink and rushed forward.

The soldiers of the two sides fought together very quickly. Suddenly, the valley was full of the sound of swords and swords intersecting. Some soldiers were cut down, and someone came up immediately.

Hu Lie rushed to the forefront, slashing at the enemy soldiers beside him with a big knife, blood splashed on the armor, and he was covered in blood after a while, and more and more soldiers were cut down beside him, his eyes were wide open, and there was something in them. happy.

While cutting, he suddenly heard unusual sounds from both sides of the mountain. He looked up and saw two rows of archers standing together, with bows and arrows in their hands aimed at their soldiers. He immediately shouted: "Hurry up!" hide!"

However, it was too late, the arrow feathers swished and pierced through the Hu soldiers' bodies, blood splashed, and countless people fell to the ground.Cooperating with the strength of the two generals Chen Huan and Shang Liang, the Hu people were soon at a disadvantage.

Seeing that he couldn't resist the attack, Hu Lie hurriedly ordered people to retreat, and left the valley with the remaining remnant soldiers. He was also scratched by the arrow feathers, and he couldn't tell whether it was his own blood or someone else's.

After withdrawing for a few miles, he announced that he would camp in place, and unbuttoned his armor, revealing the wound bruised by the arrow. He hissed and bound it up with herbs.

This trip they entered from Pingzhou, and they wanted to cooperate with Du Yi and the others to take advantage of the chaos in Yuanzhou to attack in one fell swoop, but today's battle was completely beyond his expectations.

It is said that these two are Huangfu Yunzheng's most trusted generals. Instead of stationing in Yuanzhou, they came to fight him instead. What is the reason for this?While thinking about it, suddenly there was wind in his ears, he turned his head suddenly, and a dart was nailed to his bed with a small note on it.

"Who?" Hu Lie stood up, lifted the curtain and went out. There was no suspicious person outside the door. He turned around and walked to the bed, pulled out the dart, and saw four words written on the note— —

Not self-sufficient.

Hu Lie frowned, not understanding the meaning of these four words. He crumpled the note into a ball, went back to the table and sat down. Suddenly, an idea appeared in his mind.

They came from Pingzhou, they didn't see the situation in Yuanzhou, they just heard that there was still a commotion, but how do they know if it is true if they don't see it?The reason Du Yi wants them to attack at this time is to disrupt Huangfu Yunzheng's layout, so that he has no time to take care of the affairs on both sides, so as to seize his country in one fell swoop, but now it seems that everything is under his control feeling among.

In an instant, Hu Lie understood the meaning of these four words. If Yuanzhou was really in turmoil, how could he see those two generals in Pinggu today?In other words, there was no riot at all in Yuanzhou, everything was a play by Huangfu Yunzheng, in order to deceive Du Yi and others, making them mistakenly think that the situation is developing as they hoped, but in fact it is not. .

With the current strength of the Hu clan, if they didn't take advantage of the situation, but directly confronted Dongcang Kingdom, there was not much chance of winning. It seems that Huangfu Yunzheng deliberately set up a game to remind himself not to hit the stone with an egg. Self-restraint.Since Huangfu Yunzheng has a way to deal with Du Yi and the others, he naturally has a way to make them come and go, so the best way is to retreat quickly!

After thinking about it, even though Hu Lie had thousands of reluctances in his heart, he still decided to retreat. Du Yi and others are just his pawns, and it's none of his business if they die, but he can't. If he wants to attack, he must succeed. , Never do anything that wastes time.

The order was issued immediately, and Hu Lie retreated overnight with many soldiers to the land of the Hu clan. Hearing the news of his retreat, Chen Huan and Shang Liang looked at each other with a smile, and sighed that Huangfu Yunzheng knew things like a god, and Hu Lie was a smart man. Some words are just fine.

At the same time, Du Yi has been imprisoned in the Concentrating Heart Palace for several days. These days, she stays in the palace all day, either eating or reading. No news from the outside can get through, and she is very worried.

Suddenly, some palace maids were talking softly, her eyes lit up, she went to the door to listen carefully, and only heard them say: "I heard that the Hu tribe sent troops to attack, the emperor is very busy these days."

Hearing this, Du Yi opened her eyes unconsciously. It turned out that Hu Lie had sent troops!It seems that Ah He contacted him and asked him to invade Dongcang Kingdom now, so she will be able to get out from here soon!

She was overjoyed, she didn't hear the sound of the maids leaving outside the door, and the conversation between them and the visitor.

"Well done, let's go down and receive the reward." Huangfu Yunzheng signaled the two maids to leave with his eyes. He deliberately let them say what he just said, in order to reveal Du Yi's current situation. Cursing the corners of her lips, she glanced at the children following behind her, and strode forward.

"Great, I'm going to be a queen!" Du Yi exclaimed excitedly in the hall, her Ahe will come to pick her up soon, and then they will eradicate the barbarians together and ascend to the high position, she Du Yi is The master of the harem is the most noble person in the world!

But before she was happy for a long time, she heard a cool voice coming from outside the door, and with the sound of opening the door, Huangfu Yunzheng's figure appeared outside the door, "Is it too early for my concubine to be happy?" gone?"

"You..." Seeing him coming in, Du Yi put away her smile and subconsciously took half a step back, leaning her waist on the table and chair behind her, and clenched her hands nervously into fists under her sleeves.

Slowly approaching her, Huangfu Yunzheng admired the flustered expression on her face, and said unhurriedly: "My concubine, people often say daydreaming, it's not dark yet, why are you talking in your sleep?" ?”

Xu Shi felt the strong oppression on his body, Du Yi's heart was beating fast, she took a deep breath, met his gaze, and sneered: "The emperor is so free, he has time to visit my concubine, don't you be afraid? Are you extinct?"

"Hahaha." Huangfu Yunzheng couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and looked at her with extremely sarcasm, "Subjugated? Is Aifei imprisoned in the palace for too long, and I can't think clearly?"

"You!" Du Yi was choked by him, and was about to reply, but saw a child running in from outside the hall. Allow him to approach her for half a minute.

"Let go of Shen'er!" Her eyes turned slightly, and she wanted to rush over, but was stopped by Huangfu Yunzheng, unable to move forward, she looked up at the cold face of the person in front of her, and a chill grew in her heart.

"Don't think that I don't know what you have done. On the contrary, I know very well that Shen'er is not my child, but your and Liu He's child, right?" Huangfu Yunzheng pressed her every step of the way. Trapped between tables and chairs.

When Du Yi heard this, her heart stopped suddenly, she looked away from him, and her hands under her sleeves trembled extremely slightly.How did Huangfu Yunzheng know?She clearly killed everyone who knew about it!

However, Huangfu Yunzheng didn't have time to appreciate her expression, he raised his hand to ask someone to take Shen'er out, leaned close to her ear, and said in a deep voice: "You will die soon, don't worry, I won't It will make you die so beautifully." After speaking, he curled his lips into a sneer and strode away.

Walking out of the Ningxin Hall, he saw Ling Qiu waiting outside the door. He was just about to walk over when he saw Shen'er break free from the restraints of the guards, rushed into Ling Qiu's arms, and burst into tears.

"Come here, take him down, don't leave half a step away." Huangfu Yunzheng frowned and ordered.He promised Ling Qiu that even if Du Yi and the others were killed, he would not kill Shen'er. After all, the child is innocent, but he would not let him stay in the palace to block his eyes. Stay, after the dust settles, he will make his own decision.

Back in the imperial study room, Feng Yang came to report that the Hu tribe had withdrawn the day before yesterday, he breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the gentle eyes of the people beside him, and thought secretly.

The barbarian left, so the most important thing right now is how to deal with Du Yi, Liu He and others. As Ling Qiu said, Liu He could not hide, so he used Du Yi as a bait to lure him to show up.

And her family members are full of bad water, waiting for him to die, so that they can reach the sky in one step. Unfortunately, this wishful thinking is too early. Not only will he not die, but he will kill those who tried to harm him. dead.

That night, a group of palace guards surrounded Du's mansion, and the leader went in, arrested all the people inside for the crime of treason, and threw them into the dungeon, waiting for the emperor's decision.

Overnight, the Du Mansion, the most powerful in the court, collapsed, everyone was arrested, and people in the court were panicked.
