One hundred and sixty-two strike while the iron is hot

"Donald Chu wants to marry his clan Xiong Yue to my wife?"

Fang Li was quite surprised after hearing Jian Yong's report. He couldn't remember who Xiong Yue was for a moment?

Jian Yong bowed his body, his face filled with a hint of pride: "That's right, this Princess Xiong Yue is the cousin of Mr. Chu. She is only seventeen years old, and she is beautiful and smart."

"Xiang Mu's cousin, Princess Xiong Shiyue, surnamed Mi?"

Fang Li slowly put down the pen and ink in his hand and pondered in his heart: "Is it Mi Yue, the famous Queen Mother of Qin Xuan in history?"

Mi Yue in history is also known as Mi Bazi. She married from Chu State to Qin State and became the concubine of King Huiwen of Qin, and gave birth to Yingji, who later became King Zhaoxiang of Qin. She became the first empress dowager in history. She controlled the government affairs for a long time and left a brilliant mark in history.

"If Jian Yong said that Mi Yue was indeed Queen Mother Xuan in history, then I would have had a great fortune. Although Mi Yue has a stronger desire for power, she is a virtuous supporter who is rare in a century!"

Thinking of this, Fang Li's passion couldn't help but surge and asked loudly: "What family does Mi Yue have in her family? What kind of relationship does it have with the Xiong Couple?"

Jian Yong bowed and replied, "Miyue's father Xiong Hui is Xiong Lu's cousin. He passed away when Miyue was three years old, leaving behind Lin, Miyue, and Mi Shu brother and sister.

Lin's sister is Xiong Lu's mother, Concubine Lin. After Xiong Hui's death, she married Mrs. Lin to Wei Weizhen, the commander of Yingdu, and gave birth to three sisters Wei Ran.

Because of his special relationship with Xiong's wife, Mi Yue is respected as Princess Yue in Chu State. It is said that she has a weird temper and is clever. In Yingdu, most people dare not provoke her easily!"

"Accurate, it seems that Princess Xiong Yue is undoubtedly the famous Queen Mother Qin Xuan in history!"

After hearing Jian Yong's words, Fang Li almost laughed out loud. He wanted to marry Yu Ji back to Tang State, but he didn't expect to turn back a Mi Yue. He really "I can't find Yu Ji through all the iron shoes, and I won Mi Yue without any effort." God treated him very well!

After the joy, Fang Li remembered that Jian Yong had not mentioned Yu Ji yet. If he had lost Yu Ji because of Mi Yue, it would have been not his original intention.

Although Mi Yue is good, she can't forget Yu Miaoge. If she had to choose between Mi Yue and Yu Miaoge, she would still choose Yu Ji without hesitation!

"Jian Qing, Princess Yue is good this time, but the one I want to marry the most is Yu Miaoge. Didn't you convey my intention to Mr. Chu?" Fang Li closed his smile and asked in a deep voice, pinched his chin.

Jian Yong said with a smile: "How dare I forget the lord's instructor? I tried my best to explain to Mr. Chu to the lord's determination to marry the Yu family, and finally convinced Mr. Chu to agree to marry the Yu family and Princess Xiong Yue to Xingyang together."

"Haha...that's great!"

Fang Li finally let out a hearty laugh this time and praised: "Jane Xianhe, you have made great contributions this time. I decided to promote you from acting Minister of Rites to Minister of Rites. I hope you will continue to work hard and bring Mi Yue and Yu Miaoge back to Xingyang."

"I thank my lord Long's kindness!"

Jian Yong knelt down and kowtowed, expressing his gratitude, "Duke Chu said that he would marry Mi Yue and Yu to Xingyang within three months. Therefore, I would like to ask the lord to prepare the letter of appointment and Liuli as soon as possible to send it to Yingdu as soon as possible, and marry Mi Yue and Yu Miaoge as soon as possible!"

After hearing Jian Yong's words, Fang Li ordered: "You go and prepare the six letters of appointment immediately. I decided to take advantage of the temporary stability of the country to go to Yingdu in person and marry Mi Yue and Yu back to Xingyang as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams!"

"Abide by the order!"

Jian Yong followed the order and left.

The next morning, Fang Li announced to the civil and military officials of the court that he was going to go to Yingdu in person and marry Mi Yue and Yu, and received unanimous support from the civil and military officials of the court.

Xun Yu held the tablet in his arms and said loudly: "Tang and Chu have become allies now. The Chu State has killed 100,000 soldiers in battle for our Tang Dynasty. Now Chu Duke betrothed his clan relatives to the lord. It is natural that the lord will go to Yingdu to marry and meet with the lord."

Fang Li nodded: "That's it. I will arrange for state affairs to go south with Jian Xian and the State of Chu, and the domestic affairs will be entrusted to Xun Qing and Gongsun Qing!"

Xun Yu and Gongsun Yan bowed together to promise: "Lord, please go south with peace of mind. I will definitely do my best and devote myself to the work!"

According to the scout, the 30,000 vanguard troops of the Chu army led by Xiang Yu had arrived in Luyang to set up camp and support Zhou Yu, who was stationed in Wancheng. The 200,000 Qin troops stationed in Yique remained unmoved. I wonder what the Bai Qi gourd was selling?

In the Yingdu, General Xiang Yan of Chu State ordered Zhaoyang to be the vanguard and led 50,000 troops to arrive in Bowang County at noon yesterday, echoing Xiang Yu of Luyang County, waiting for reinforcements from other Chu troops.

As time goes by, the 70,000 Chu army led by Xiang Liang and the 100,000 Chu army led by Dou Bobi gradually approached Wancheng. The Chu army's troops in the territory of Tang became increasingly strong, and soon it would reach 250,000.

In about half a month, the 100,000 troops gathered by Xiang Yan from Chu will also march north from Jiangxia County, and the Chu army near Wancheng will reach a huge 350,000.

In addition, the 35,000 Tang troops stationed in Wancheng and the 30,000 Tang troops stationed in Xingyang, the Tang and Chu coalition forces near Luoyang will exceed 400,000, and the Qin army led by Bai Qi will be suppressed in terms of military strength.

In the north, Cao Cao, Zhang Liao, Ying Bu, Gao Shun and others led 60,000 Tang troops to guard Jiangguan and Chiyang respectively, which made the Jin army each cover 15,000 lives under the two passes, and it was still difficult to overcome the line.

Seeing that it was difficult for the Tang army to break through the defense of the Tang army, Jin Guizhi had to order the withdrawal of troops, preparing to send troops across the Taihang Mountains to attack Handan, Changshan, Zhao and other areas to surround Zhao and rescue Wei.

It seemed that the Tang Kingdom was very safe in a short period of time. Fang Li handled all the things at hand, and took Dian Wei, Jian Yong, Zhurong and others to select 10,000 troops to leave Xingyang, and followed the post road to Yingdu to marry.

Before leaving, Fang Li called Xun Yu, Gongsun Yan, Ma Chao and others to him and reminded him: "When I am not in Xingyang, you must worry more! All the political affairs are handed over to Xun Wenruo and Gongsun Yan, the military affairs are on Ma Mengqi and Li Mancheng!"

"I respectfully send my lord south!"

Xun Yu and others kept sending Fang Li twenty miles away before waved goodbye and watched the team head south in a mighty manner.

Three days later, Fang Li led 10,000 Tang troops through Luyang, and the 70,000 Chu troops led by the Chu general Xiang Liang also entered Luyang to join forces with Xiang Yu.
