Chapter 90
Nanping Kingdom, Jiangling Prefecture, Nanping Royal Palace.
The exposed palace maids have changed their outfits these days, striving to be elegant and conservative. Who made the Nanping king Gao Conghui feel bad? If the palace maids are as gorgeous and exposed as usual, they will not only not attract the appreciation and favor of the king, but may also cause death. Of course, "women should be cute and filial", but if they really wear white, then - you are looking for death! The battles in Yingzhou have been defeated one after another, and you actually wear filial clothes and curse the army. Isn't it seeking death or something?!
Looking at the trembling palace maids, Gao Conghui, who was sitting in the pavilion, sighed and drank the remaining wine in the cup. What happened to Liu Fu and Gao Baoxun? Why haven't the war reports been sent? They led their troops to besiege Yingzhou for nearly ten days, so why is there still no news?
At this time, Wei Lin hurriedly ran over from outside the pavilion and soon came to the pavilion, looking at Gao Conghui with a anxious expression.
Gao Conghui was shocked. What's going on? Wei Lin is good at calculating. Could it be that something is going to happen to my Nanping Kingdom? Gao Conghui quickly waved his hand to disperse the nearby palace maids and asked quickly: "Sir, what happened? Why are your face so in a hurry?"
Wei Lin looked around and whispered: "King, according to your order, I have deliberately divined the Nanping Kingdom. I found that there have been signs of great danger in the past few days and it is very unfavorable to the prince's descendants. I hope the king will send a messenger quickly to warn the two princes outside and let them act cautiously!"
Gao Conghui frowned and did not agree. His two sons, Gao Baoxun and Gao Baozheng, were all involved in the siege under the city of Yingzhou. The reinforcements of the Han Dynasty had never arrived in Yingzhou. Gao Baoxun and others should not be in danger under the escort of the army. If they sent envoys to Yingzhou to warn their sons now, they would slow down their siege. If the reinforcements of the Han Dynasty arrived early, wouldn't Nanping have been working in vain for a while! Is it because of Wei Lin's divination that he would let Yingzhou slip out of his sphere of influence? No!
Gao Conghui said to Wei Lin: "Sir, don't be anxious. Although my son Baoxun is a bit rash, Baozheng is very cautious. The two of them complement each other, so there should be no problem. Besides, Liu Fu is also a veteran general who has been fighting for many years. With him on the side, how could there be any problem?! As for the offspring, is it that my other sons have problems again? Do you have colds and fevers or have diarrhea?"
Wei Lin felt very cold when he saw that Gao Conghui did not listen to his advice. He thought about Gao Conghui's relationship with him for many years, so he came to warn him at the risk of revealing his secrets. Unexpectedly, he didn't take it seriously at all.
Wei Lin sighed secretly. It seems that Nanping Kingdom cannot stay anymore. Don’t cause any death for the sake of a mere Nanping Kingdom! He whispered: “Master, the matter of offspring… Maybe I am not good at calculating the divination, and I have not had a good sleep these days, so the success rate of divination is not very high. Then I will go home to take a shower and change clothes, fast and avoid meat, and do it well. What do you think?”
Gao Conghui nodded, "Please trouble sir. I am very convinced of sir's method of sir. Once sir calculates the latest results, please report them immediately. I will definitely follow sir's instructions!"
Wei Linxun thanked him a few words and then stepped down.
Gao Conghui looked at his figure and thought in his heart: Which aspect is Wei Lin speaking for when trying to delay the offensive rhythm of our Nanping Kingdom? Is it because Yin Shi, the governor of Yingzhou, sent someone to bribe him with a large sum of money, or is it because the upcoming Han Dynasty sent someone to bribe him first, or is it because his third son Gao Baorong intends to make the two brothers fail to achieve success?
He thought about it all night but didn't think it through. The next day, Gao Conghui was about to send someone to inquire carefully when he saw an envoy rushing into the palace and report quickly: "King, you have received a hurry to the secret letter from General Liu Fu!"
Gao Conghui hurriedly received the secret letter. Seeing that the fire was intact, he knew that no one was peeking on the road, so he asked the messenger to retreat. Gao Conghui opened it and saw that the secret letter fell to the ground!
It turned out that Liu Fu reported that the injured troops led by the second son Gao Baozheng were raided by Fuzhou soldiers and suffered heavy casualties. Gao Baozheng had no time to reveal his identity, so he was killed by a young general in Fuzhou. Gao Baozheng's subordinates fled one after another, and all the wounded and sick people escorted were killed!
According to the information Liu Fu asked, the young general was the newly appointed battalion commander of Fuzhou defense envoy Wang Yanchao, named Zhao Kuangyin. It is said that he was originally a battalion commander in Suizhou. Later, somehow he had a conflict with Dong Zunhui, the son of the governor of Suizhou, and then defected to Wang Yanchao. Wang Yanchao was very satisfied after inspecting his martial arts and military tactics, so he appointed him as the battalion commander and led a thousand people to intercept and kill the logistics and supplies troops of the Nanping Army under the city of Yingzhou.
Gao Conghui slapped the case a few times, Fuzhou bullied me too much! Zhao Kuangyin, I will kill you! Gao Conghui shouted loudly: "Send the order and assemble the troops, I want to attack..."
He was about to issue an order when he suddenly remembered Wei Lin's advice, and quickly changed his words and said, "Send a special express and expedited messenger to order Gao Baoxun to make him cautious in using troops and not to advance recklessly!"
Seeing the guards hurried out to pass the order, Gao Conghui was still a little uneasy, so he ordered Wei Lin's house to go and inquire about the news. When he arrived at the door of Wei Lin's house, he found that the door of Wei Lin's house was locked, obviously not at home! The guards hurriedly inquired: It is said that after Wei Lin left the palace yesterday, he immediately hired a mule cart to go out of the city, and I don't know where he went!
Gao Conghui was shocked. Wei Lin seemed to have great magical powers. He went out urgently to prevent me from taking my anger with him. Could it be that my eldest son is...
The more Gao Conghui thought about it, the more worried he became. He hurriedly sent a messenger to Yingzhou again, ordering Liu Fu to immediately pack up his troops and assist his eldest son Gao Baoxun in a cautious manner. If the situation is urgent, he can retreat.
However, before the messenger sent by Gao Conghui left the palace gate, an official in charge of intelligence gathering came to report: rumors appeared in the city, saying that "the eldest son Gao Baoxun participated in the Xiangzhou mutiny and supported An Youjin, who killed An Shenqi. Unexpectedly, An Shenqi's eldest son An Shouzhong suddenly returned to the city and incited soldiers to rebel. He besieged the Jiedushi's mansion that night, and quickly quelled the civil strife. An Youjin was burned to death by An Shouzhong, and Gao Baoxun was even shot by An Shouzhong with an arrow!"
This rumor was that after Dong Zunhui left the city, he immediately sent someone to Jiangling Prefecture to spread it, in order to firmly hold the charge of shooting Gao Baoxun on An Shouzhong, so as not to be plotted by others.
Let’s talk about Gao Conghui being shocked when he heard the officials’ report. How could this be possible? Isn’t my eldest son Gao Baoxun on the front line of Yingzhou? How could he go to Xiangzhou secretly? Thinking about Gao Baoxun’s adventurous personality, Gao Conghui felt that it was very possible. He might be trying to make a great contribution and ascend to the position of prince!
At this moment, the messenger responded, and Liu Fu sent an urgent letter! Gao Conghui reached out to receive the letter slightly, but he had caught it several times but failed. He finally got it, and did not care about checking the integrity of the wax seal and fire paint, so he quickly opened it. The letter said: "The prince Gao Baoxun sneaked to Xiangzhou and unfortunately died!..."
Gao Conghui fell to the ground and squirted blood!…
