94 Chapter 40 (2)
"Only the four ladies admire Chen Jialangjun wholeheartedly, and I am afraid that they are unwilling to marry in the north. The red falcon hesitated for a moment.
"Since marriage is the order of her parents, the words of the matchmaker, Ah Pan is no longer willing, she will never disobey her father, in the end, not everyone has the courage of a brother, insisting on marrying the person in their hearts. Yu Wenrui shook his head, "What else is going on, together with it, what does it look like?"
Bi Yuan also mentioned a news, which came from Ying'er beside Mrs., saying that the assassin Shi discussed with Mrs., saying that she was preparing to continue the string for the eldest son, and now she is still hesitating on the two ladies. "The red falcon originally wanted to ask, although he promised to help the Northern Wei Dynasty quietly enter the territory of Eastern Qin, why did his son let nearly 20,000 soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty pretend to be monks and shave their heads, this idea is wonderful after all, but he thought about it, or swallowed it back, and did not dare to brush the tiger's whiskers easily," One is the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, she originally ordered the third Lang Jun of the Xie family, it is said that Xie Zhang, the third brother of Xie Zhang, Xie Zhang, the relationship between the husband and wife is not good, she will marry for three years, there is nothing to do under her knees, and then Xie Zhang died of illness, she kept her husband for three years of filial piety, and then returned to the Xiao family, and now she will be twenty-two years old. β
"The other family is the thirteenth lady of the Zhuge family?" Yu Wenrui listened to him, and kept eating oranges in his mouth, and before the red falcon could finish speaking, he finished eating first.
"Lang Jun is like a god. The red falcon nodded, "The thirteenth lady also set a family affair in her early years, and she ordered Xue Hong, the second Langjun of the Xue family in Youzhou, in the eleventh year of Shengping, Xue Hong died in battle, and the thirteenth lady guarded the widow, and now it has been ten years, she is twenty-four years old, and she is not allowed to go out." β
"Brother Yan is very blessed. Yu Wenrui didn't need to be served, he poured water into the copper basin and cleaned his hands, took a handkerchief and wiped the water, and slowly lay down on the soft couch, he bent one leg, the other leg hung on the ground, one hand supported his head, and the other hand was on his waist and abdomen, and his movements were indescribably scattered.
When the red falcon heard his words, he only felt a choke in his throat, and paused for a while before he said: "There is news from the Northern Wei Dynasty, saying that the eldest prince wants to meet with Lang Jun. β
"He's in a hurry. Yuwen Rui smiled, "Three more days will be my uncle's and grandmother's birthday, and after nineteen they will leave Tai'an City, and my son will see off the eldest prince again." But what is the situation in Jinzhou now? I heard that as soon as I heard that Ji Rin was the handsome, the Xiahou family fled to the Northern Wei Dynasty in a hurry like a lost dog?"
"The Ji family is in Jinzhou just like the Yuwen family is in Yongzhou, and in fact, the Xiahou family can be easily shaken?"
"Red Falcon, this son looks, you have made great progress now, it seems that it is a good note to leave you by Mr. Yuan Su's side to serve. Yu Wenrui was still laughing, but when he mentioned his confidant strategist, he couldn't help but sigh, "Mr. is a drinker, likes beauties, don't talk about it, when it comes to the lady of the teaching workshop, Chang'an is arrogant, Jiangnan is charming and gentle, then Tai'an City is full of elegance, if it weren't for his body and bones, this meeting must have brought him over." β
"The gentleman is amazingly intelligent, and he is by his side, but he only knows a thing or two. The smile on the red falcon's face disappeared, and he lowered his head, showing a little difficulty on his face, "Before leaving, Mr. also instructed the slave to urge Lang Jun to find a few more strategists." β
"In that case, you don't have to say it anymore. Yuwen Rui interrupted him, "If it weren't for Mr. to teach me, to this day, I, Yuwen Rui, am afraid that I am still complacent about the false name I have won, how can I have the ability to compare with my father today?"
"Yes, slave remembered. The red falcon nodded immediately.
And Ji Rin, who was thinking about him, led the forbidden army to turn around, and actually went straight to Shuoxue Pass.
At dawn, a pure gray-blue appeared on the horizon, and the lead-gray clouds hung heavily on the horizon, repeatedly pressing on people's hearts, and until now, the garrison of Jishan and Shuoxue Pass has been holding on for twenty-seven days.
In the first few days, when they came down from the battlefield and rested in the military tent, these rough Langjun were still interested in chatting a few words on the side, talking about the daughter-in-law who still didn't know where she was, and the heavy military salary in her pocket, but since the news of the death of Ji Chan came eleven days ago, the atmosphere in the barracks was instantly frozen.
From that day on, their general led them to prepare to defend the Shuoxue Pass, and for this reason they even posted a notice in the city, allowing the people to pack their bags and leave first.
At the beginning, Zhao Rui thought that they could hold on for ten days at most, but now it is the eleventh day, and none of the soldiers guarding the pass are intact, even the robes of the battalion of the gang who never go up to the city tower are also chasing ducks to the shelves.
It was about to dawn, but his heart was becoming more and more uncertain, he didn't know how long they would have to wait, or whether it would be the end of the death of the Shroud of Horse Leather on the battlefield, or the reinforcements that had come from thousands of miles.
Beside him, Ji Shan, who had not closed his eyes for three days, was about to fall asleep wrapped in a blanket, but he couldn't sleep, even though his eyes were already bloodshot, he still couldn't sleep all night.
The banner of the king of the Northern Wei Dynasty is still waving in the wind, they are stationed on the snow field three miles away from Shuoxue Pass, if the building is high enough, they can even see the other party's Chinese military tent,
Five days ago, they sent sergeants to beat drums in the middle of the night, and the drums were deafening, and they could be heard five miles away.
The first time it snowed heavily, the Northern Wei Dynasty thought that they had attacked overnight, and they shouted until the third watch, only to find that they had not left the city; on the second night, the Northern Wei Dynasty took precautions, and turned over and left the camp as soon as they heard the sound of drums, and the torches illuminated the four places very clearly, but after all, they did not find their trace; to the third time, the Northern Wei Dynasty did not have anyone to camp, and they still did not send troops; but in the fourth drum beat last night, this time, it was Ji Shan himself who led 500 elite soldiers, and in the early morning they crossed the hill, guarded the head of the mountain pass, and waited for the third watch, the drum sounded, and the Ji Shan led the army to rampage, the Northern Wei soldiers did not notice for a while, and they easily captured more than 100 horses, Zhao Rui took the men and horses to answer at the city gate, this time, it is a pity that the grain and grass of the Northern Wei Dynasty were not burned.
But Zhao Rui was very worried in his heart, in the end there was a huge disparity in the number of people on both sides, these days they also knew that the general of the Northern Wei Dynasty who sat in Shuoxue Pass was the prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the two sides had won and lost in the battle for more than 20 days, and the two sides were generally equal, but last night Ji Shan led the army to attack the camp, as if he slapped the prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty alive, he must recapture this game, fortunately, both sides had to clean up during the day, and at night Ji Shan ordered people to light lanterns in the woods on both sides as night watchmen, so he barely fooled the other party over, but until dawn today, presumably the other party should also see the emptiness in the forestοΌ
Zhao Rui's heart slowly sank, through the faint starlight leaking in from the gap in the military tent, he could see Ji Shan's slightly undulating chest when he was asleep, the chain mail on the other party's body had not been taken off for more than ten days, and his face, which was still smooth in the past, was full of beards, Zhao Rui felt a little sad for a while, he didn't know how to express such a mood, "How to solve worries, only Du Kang", but now he touched the sheepskin bag placed aside, and the last bit of liquor was consumed as early as eleven days ago.
At this moment, Zhao Rui felt a slight tremor on the ground, he couldn't care about Ji Shan, he had only slept for more than two hours, and he was busy slapping Ji Shan's shoulder to shake the other party awake.
"What's wrong?" Akisugi was awakened, and he rolled over and sat up, holding the saber that had been untied and placed next to his pillow in one hand.
"I felt as if a large group of cavalry was coming towards Shuoxue Pass. Zhao Rui lit the white wax placed in front of the desk with a flint, and under the flickering candlelight, the heavy blue and black under his eyes were revealed.
Himesugi's face slowly sank, and he knelt on the ground, listening carefully to the movement with his ears pressed to the ground.
"What?" After all, Zhao Rui is a half-literati who is only slightly better than ordinary scholars, and he is superior in planning and planning, but he is not as good as Ji Shan.
"There are cavalry, coming from the south, and the number is estimated to exceed that of the prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Himesugi frowned.
"The army that appears at this moment is nothing more than two kinds, one is the enemy and the other is reinforcements. Zhao Rui couldn't help but smile when he saw him frowning, "If it's the enemy, this time we have nowhere to escape, and maybe maybe the Jinju border defense has been broken!"
"But if it is reinforcements, as far as I know, at present, whether it is the Jinzhou garrison or the Ji family army, I am afraid that they will not be able to draw so many people. Himesugi shook his head.
"Zijin, if you and I really die today, are you afraid?" Zhao Rui suddenly fell silent, he looked at the awe-inspiring general, and said in a low voice.
"The day I decided to join the army, I put life and death aside. Ji Shan smiled slightly, "It's a pity that I can't go to the marshal's spirit in person and put on a stick of incense." β
"If there is really a Huangquan Prefecture, we are also worthy of the general. Zhao Rui somehow felt a little funny when he heard him say this, so he really laughed, his eyes were extremely soft, as if the spring water flowing in the mountains and forests in the spring, naturally clear.
"There are brothers like Shuqi, but it is not in vain that I Jishan came to this world to walk once. Ji Shan still feels a little sorry for Zhao Rui in his heart, the other party is not as alone as himself, on the contrary, Zhao Rui's family is well-off, and he has three lines in the family, with two brothers and a younger sister, and the family lives in Huaigu County, which is subordinate to Yongning City. There are 100 acres of fertile land in the family, and there is a cloth village in the town, two brothers, one is a Xiucai, and the other runs a cloth village, which is the little sister is also married to Huaigu County, "I heard that Uncle Qi has set a marriage, and has not yet welcomed the bride, and now I am afraid that there will be no chance to meet him." β
"If Shuoxue Pass is broken, Jinzhou is lost, the Northern Wei Dynasty goes south, and there are no eggs under the nest, how can she escape?" Zhao Rui mentioned his wife who had not passed the door, and his eyes became more and more soft, "It's Zijin (Ji Shan's word), if this is the case, we can survive, and you should also marry." β
"Okay, if we can survive this time, I will go back to Yongning City to settle my family. Ji Shan was silent for a moment, then looked at Zhao Rui and said, "This time I am struggling with life and death, Shan is willing to marry Uncle Qi as a brother of the opposite sex, I don't know what Uncle Qi thinks?"
"Brother is above, please bow to the younger brother!" Zhao Ruiden took a step towards Ji Shan, bowed his head.
