Chapter 281 Deadline
When Yuan Hao arrived in Weizhou, he soon found that the situation was hopeless. The loyal ministers and generals who had assisted him were lukewarm and cold. Although he did not rebel openly, no one listened to his orders anymore. He could only maintain his position with the remaining thousands of personal guards.
The Wuyi tribe is the Dangxiang clan in Wuyanxia area of Tiandu Mountain. The leader Wuyi tribe has a daughter, who is born with a shiny face and charming charm. Yuan Hao accidentally saw it in Tiandu Mountain and promised her to be his wife to Prince Ning Ling.
During the battle of Tiandu Mountain, the clans followed Yuan Hao without moving. When they arrived in Weizhou, they soon became one of the largest forces here.
One day, Yuan Hao had a sudden idea and included the Wuyi clan who promised his son in the palace and made him the "new queen". At this time, Yuan Hao was out of his way, so he simply indulged in his feelings and did his own thing. The greed for the beauty of Wuyi clan was one of the reasons for doing this. The more important reason was that the original wealthy chief no longer supported Yuan Hao. Yuan Hao needed new support. The remote Tiandu Mountain had been wandering outside the core of the Dangxiang core. It became his choice.
His daughter became the new queen. She regarded herself as the father-in-law without moving. Dangxiang was half of his in the world and became domineering in Weizhou. Outside, Cao Keming's army was pressing each other tightly, and the Dangxiang clan in Weizhou was still fighting for power and profit without stopping.
Although Weizhou is not a famous city, the surrounding mountain basins have abundant water and grass, and Dangxiang's tribes are very numerous. This era is a densely populated place. Like Tiandu Mountain, the importance of Weizhou to Dangxiang is higher than the irrigation plains of Xingling and the two prefectures. Yuan Hao still has a dream every day, relying on the mediation of the Khitan, making peace with Song, and relying on the resources and population of the Weizhou area to prosper again. His grandfather's situation was even more difficult than him, so why didn't he get started step by step?
Spring has left quietly, summer has come unknowingly, and the weather is as hot as it is.
At the residence of Yeli Wangrong in Weizhou, a felt blanket was laid under a large poplar tree, and the nearby wild fruits and some meat were placed on the table in the middle. Brother Ning Ling sat next to the table, drinking wine while eating silently.
Yeli Wangrong sat on the other side, looking at Brother Ning Ling coldly, with a dark face and said nothing.
Brother Ning Ling was a little afraid of Yeli Wangrong, so he pretended not to see Yeli Wangrong's expression and kept drinking and eating meat. His uncle Yeli was trapped in Zhuoluo City, and another uncle Yeli Renrong was gone in Tiandu Mountain. Now the power of the Yeli clan is all over the place and Yeli Wangrong, and he is not as loved as before. However, Brother Ning Ling did not have Yuanhao's favor, and he could only rely on the protection of the Yeli family, otherwise the newly powerful Unmoved clan would attack him at any time. Even if he was a little cold and cold, he could only bear it.
Seeing Brother Ning Ling wipe his mouth and moving his body back, Yeli Wangrong said in a deep voice: "How can you stop drinking?"
Brother Ning Ling shrank his neck and whispered: "More alcohol can harm your body, so it is not advisable to drink too much. I am already full of wine and food-"
"As the prince of a country, your wife who has not passed away has been taken away by others as your wife. She lacks food and clothing on weekdays. Is there any personal life like you? It is useless to live if you drink too much alcohol. What's the use of living like you? Drinking to death early is a good thing for yourself and others!"
Brother Ning Ling moved backward and whispered: "What else do I do? Dad Wuzhu wants--"
"Wuzhu wants your wife, you send it out? Should you give it out too?" Yeliwang Ling said in a stern voice, "The two clan leaders of my Yeli family were captured for Yuan Hao, and they are loyal and can be seen! A nephew is the prince, but he was treated like this. Yuan Hao is crazy! He hates that you, a child, have no ambition and is bullied, and he will only come to your uncle's house to eat and drink!"
Brother Ning Ling lowered his head and muttered in a low voice: "What's the use of being the prince? Who cares about me except my uncle's family? Even if I'm dissatisfied, I'm still suffering! Other ministers and tribes, I have nothing—"
Yeli Wangrong stood up suddenly, bent down and glared at Brother Ning Ling and said, "What do you lack? All you lack is the responsibility of a man! You have backbone, now I will take the sword and kill Yuan Hao. I will help you become the leader of my country!"
Brother Ning Ling lowered his head, hugged his legs, and said nothing.
Yeli Wangrong turned around and left, walked a few steps and turned back, and said to Ning Lingge: "Who can bear the hatred of taking over his wife? Not to mention that your mother was shot into the cold palace by Yuan Hao, and she was about to depose her position as queen recently! Think about it carefully, if you continue to be cowardly, don't come to our door again to insult the family tradition of the Yeli clan!"
Seeing Yeli Wangrong leaving angrily, Ning Ling brother buried his head between his legs and cried. Yuan Hao was domineering by nature. Ning Ling brother has been afraid of him since he was a child. Even if he was named the crown prince, he was still trembling in front of his father.
Thinking of his fiancée's charming look, and then remembering that she was being raised by Yuanhao in the temporary palace in Weizhou, Brother Ning Ling felt ashamed. A man who could not even protect his wife and became his mother. Such a thing was simply done by beasts. But what should I do? The one who robs his woman is not only his father, but also the king of a country.
I don’t know when, Ning Ling brother arrived next to the case again and poured himself a drink alone. Yeli Wangrong was right, he would just drink to death. What’s the point of living? A prince who was about to destroy his country, and a man who wanted to go to his fiancée to ask for gifts every day had no future and dignity, and living could only become a laughing stock of others.
Yeli Wangrong sat in the living room with a gloomy face and motionless. A confidant came over from time to time to inform Brother Ning Ling about what he was doing now. Hearing that Brother Ning Ling was drinking to drink, Yeli Wangrong's face became more and more gloomy, as if water was about to drip out.
Lingzhou has been broken, and Esangge, who was hesitant to surrender, was killed by Xu Ping in the downtown area to serve as a warning to You. The major tribes of Dangxiang no longer have the intention to fight and cannot fight. Xu Ping offered the conditions very attractive, so why do you need to fight again?
Fan Zhongyan from the eastern front led his troops along the Hunzhou River and crossed the Great Wall Ridge. He had already captured Hongzhou. Zhejimin Nitumaochuan on Linfu Road approached Di Jinze. Many tribes there surrendered. Dangxiang's general situation was hopeless. Yuanhao's government orders could not even leave his current palace, and few people in Weizhou City listened to his orders.
Thinking of the continuous grain transport convoys of the Song army seen near Mingsha County, Yeli Wangrong was breathless. As long as there was enough food and grass, Dangxiang would not have the capital to confront the Song Dynasty in this year of severe drought. How did Zhao Jiqian defeat the Song army in the past? He cut off the food route of the Song army. As long as the food route of the Song army was endless, Dangxiang of the Song army could not fight at that time, let alone the Longyou army with amazing combat power. Now the food route of the Song army is not harassed, but after passing the Zhenrong army, there are still tribes to rob it. But they could not easily defeat the food transport team of the Song army, and they could not grab it. They were then swept away by the inspection department. Several tribes that went out to grab the food route were wiped out from both sides of Huluchuan. The leader was killed, and the people were taken to the mainland to transport grain.
If the battle continues, the tribes cannot even win over their own people. If you say a thousand words, you will have food and drink when you go to the Song army. What else is more important than food and drink in this world? If you don’t join the court, you can’t even fill your stomach. How can you fight this battle?
