Chapter 144: A Thousand Miles to Send a Letter (Thank You, Just Like Your Cousin C's 5 Monthly Tickets)
The scenery of the Northland is magnificent in the early morning.
In the distance, the Yellow River is rolling waves, carrying yellow sand to pave the river, and the golden waves are sparkling.
More than 10 horses came from the south, day and night, fast horses and whips, over the mountains and mountains, along the big river, the Han River retrospectively swam up, before and after, ten days long, and finally arrived at the north of the Yellow River in Xinzheng Beilin.
The golden rice rolls over the long wave, and the rice fragrance is ripe and drunk for thousands of miles.
A round of red sun spreads along the hinterland of the Central Plains of Yima Pingchuan, the war horses are far away from the rice fields, there are continuous tents of various colors, and the battle flags of various countries are fluttering, forming a huge military camp.
At this time, the traces of the outbreak of the civil war in Chu, on the northern border, the battle of Chu and Jin, just ended a battle of Beilin, the Jin four-nation alliance was broken in Beilin, Chen and Song were defeated, and the Jin army and the Wei army were entrenched outside the capital of Zheng and refused to retreat north of Xinzheng, wanting to wait for the Qin army to reinforce and then avenge the revenge of Beilin.
Since the Battle of Beilin, Chu and Jin have temporarily ceased their troops.
The melodious and heavy sound of the horn every day accompanied the loess road, more than ten fast horses galloped over, like a dark shadow in the golden rice field, forcing towards the Chu army camp.
In the camp of the Chu army, if Ao Ziyan was discussing the next strategy with Ye Xiangru, Sun Wuyi, Sun Hou and others, he heard the neighing of the war horse outside the main tent, and then "bang" There was a war horse that fell to the ground in unison.
He frowned slightly, and someone outside the tent had already come in to report, "Boss, let the Yin family book arrive!"
The person who came hurriedly ran into the tent, took out the parchment handbook from the burden on his back, and presented it with both hands, "Ling Yin Youxin, order the villain to hand it over to the son." ”
Seeing Ling Yinzi's family letter, Sun Hou patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and withdrew from the big tent with the generals, "Look first, we'll discuss it later." ”
"It was the grandfather and several righteous brothers who went to eat first, and Ziyan came later. If Ao Ziyan personally sent Sun Hou out of the tent, and then walked back to the big tent and took the parchment.
I saw a line of elegant handwriting in my eyes: "Ziyan Wu'er, Yuejiao hid 50,000 homeless people, in order to prevent the country from making chaos in Yuejiao, my father decided to deal with it first, and when my son returned, the country was stable! Everything is fine at home, my son should not read it, take care of yourself when you are fighting abroad, and your father has brewed fine wine and is waiting for you to get drunk together." Father's Letter, August 16. ”
A letter from home is thousands of miles away.
It took nearly half a month to arrive at Beilin.
After reading Ling Yin's family letter, if Ao Ziyan knew that there was nothing to do at home in the rear, he smiled at the corner of his lips and nodded: "After you rest for a day, you will return immediately, return to Beijing and tell your father that this battle will be won, and you will return soon! Ask my father and mother to wait for me to come back in the capital, and send someone to help me enter the palace to send this box of silk paid tribute by the northern land to the palace." ”
After speaking, he held the pen on another blank parchment scroll, and the pen was like a dragon and a snake.
"Yes, Childe!"
The guard who delivered the letter received the order, turned around and was taken out to rest by Qingpu.
Ruo Ao Ziyan in the tent read the family letter three times repeatedly, although his father sat in the back of the formation, he thought for a moment, and still asked Qingpu outside the door in a loud voice: "Qingpu, how are the 50,000 slaves now?!"
"There are Mao Ba and our people sent by the princess, staring at them day and night, and there is no abnormal movement in the slave camp for the time being!" Qingpu replied.
After hearing this, Ruo Ziyan bowed his head and emphatically said, "Okay! Don't let them make a mistake in the final stage of the war! If the order continues, anyone who flees and moves will be killed!"
"Yes, Childe!"
Qingpu led people to patrol the back camp to issue military orders, and saw Mao Ba leading people to push the grain cart into the camp, and greeted, "Mao Ba, come here!"
"Yes!"
Mao Ba explained a few words to a slave behind him, "Ah Liu, you take someone to deliver the grain first!"
"Yes, Starling!"
Seeing that the young slave called Ah Liu nodded and led people into the camp, Mao Ba turned around and led people to Qingpu, when Qingpu finished explaining Ruo Ao Ziyan's military orders, Mao Ba's face changed slightly.
"Kill or kill, but will so many slaves arouse their anger and cause a mutiny in the army?......
"That's why we must reduce the danger as soon as possible and prevent this group of slaves from being secretly instigated and attacking the camp!" Qingpu raised his eyebrows, emphasizing the hesitation and displeasure in his eyes, "The princess sent you to the army, do you have to obey, or do you want to disobey the military order?"
"Mao Ba doesn't dare!"
"Then follow the order!"
"Yes!"
Huang Yuwei, who was standing behind Mao Ba, waited for Qingpu to leave, and looked at Mao Badao, "Starling, the princess asked us to bring back this group of homeless people safely, but the concubine watched the homeless people as rebels, and now he wants to order killing!"
"I know!"
Mao Ba looked at these slaves in the back camp, "So I'm thinking about how to prevent trouble in advance! After all, if these slaves are successfully instigated behind their backs, even if the princess wants to protect them, she can't save them, whether it is the crime of treason or the crime of killing the barracks! The order of the concubine is not wrong!"
"You go and call Ah Liu and a few of them!"
"I have something to command them!"
"Yes, Starling!"
When Ah Liu and the others came, Mao Ba called everyone into his camp tent and didn't come out until a long time, Ah Liu and they promised, "Brother Starling, don't worry, we will take turns to monitor those groups of people day and night!"
"As long as we find out all their comrades, when the war is over, the princess will definitely let you go home, and you can reunite with Aunt Liu!"
When everyone heard that they could go home and regain their freedom, they nodded again and again, with a yearning expression, "Yes, Master Jun!"
Ah Liu frequently looked at Yingdu in the south, "I really want to go back early, I miss my mother so much, I've been thinking about it for four years!"
"Aunt Liu is also thinking about you!"
……
After lunch, there was movement in the Qi army camp not far away, if Ao Ziyan walked out of the big tent with a smile, he saw the cyan golden deer flag of the Qi country in the distance stretching in the wind on the Qi army camp.
Two hundred Jin Gewei carried a big ding, with a golden turtle in the ding, walked out of the Qi army, faced the Jin army camp opposite, and sneered, "Look at my dignified Central Plains overlord Jin State four to one, I can't win a Chu State, and I will go back and play five to one with the Qin State." ”
"They are two overlords, one in the south and one in the north, according to me, they should choose a day when the air is clear, one-on-one, and fight on the plains. Now it's good, four fight one, don't say it's embarrassing to lose, and go to Qin State to do strong reinforcements, if Qin State doesn't come, he will shrink into the camp and not come out, and be a turtle with a shrunken head!"
"Where is the power of my Central Plains overlord?"
"I think Wang Ba is about the same. ”
Qi Jun laughed heartily.
In front of the camp, Jiang Wuye used a golden pestle to play with the golden turtle in Dingzhong and asked, "Ugly father, look at it, why is my golden turtle shrinking its head and not coming out?...... This can't be done, this prince invited Chu and Zheng to appreciate it today!"
Feng Ugly Father's chubby face wrinkled, and he was thinking about how Jiang Wuye should go to the Qi bus lane on this trip, and glanced at the fierce Jin Jun on the opposite side with a sad face, squeaking, not daring to make a sound.
"Prince, let's ......"
Stop playing, what if you provoke Jin Guo and turn around to beat them Qi Guo?
But the two hundred Jin Gewei behind him didn't have those scruples, and rushed forward to reply, "Prince, the villain knows!"
"Say!"
Jiang Wuye raised his hand with a smile.
"Because there is a bigger turtle in front of the prince's golden turtle, the turtle can't shrink, so the prince's golden turtle naturally follows its example and becomes a turtle with a shrunken head. ”
"I see. ”
Jiang Wuye's face was stunned when he heard this, "No wonder this prince's golden turtle doesn't come out, come and see the reward!"
"Prince Xie is rewarded!"
"But what about the turtle that the prince still wants to admire, do you have a way to make it show its head?" Jiang Wuye asked again.
"Prince, if we don't send this golden turtle to the Jin army on the opposite side, maybe, it will see Handan Jun, and the two sides will say hello, and this head will be exposed!"
With the bounty, the answerers are even more flocking.
"Haha! That's a good idea!"
Jiang Wuye knocked on the golden pestle and ordered people to carry the golden turtle to the front of the Jin army camp, and Xian Xian, who was the right army leader, stood in front of the Jin army camp and was furious when he heard the words, and wanted to bring people forward to stop him, "Childe, I will take people to teach the Qi army on the other side a lesson!"
"If you go, it's for nothing!"
The angular and cold face, the sword eyebrows on one side were rebelliously slanted into the sideburns, Ji Liuyu grabbed him and said quietly.
"But, Childe, this Prince Qi is too arrogant!"
Xian said angrily, "Is there still my Central Plains overlord in your eyes?"
"If he had my Jin State in his eyes, the last time the Chu State Jiangling Alliance, he would not have humiliated my Jin State envoy with a Jin woman in public. ”
The thin lips as thin as a blade spat out a cold reply, and Ji Liuyu looked back at the staff member beside him with a depressed face, "I'll just tell you one fact: everything about this guy is a disguise now, if you believe it, you will fall for his trick!"
"So tell the whole army not to take the initiative to go out of the camp and provoke the Qi army!"
"Yes, Childe. ”
The first contempt was slightly shocked.
looked at Jiang Wuye, who was laughing with Qi Jun on the other side, and his eyes were full of deep disbelief.
Such a super loser.
It can be compared with the Jin Ling public.
Will you be good at camouflage?
But Ji Liuyu, who had suffered a secret loss under Jiang Wuye, silently and slowly brushed the tiger's mouth that was held by Jiang Wuye last time, although there was no trace of it, but the pain made him remember it all his life.
Ji Liuyu could prevent Xian Xian from leading people closer, but he couldn't stop Zhao Chuan's anger from rising.
Because of the defeat of Beilin and the relief of the siege of Zheng Guozhi, not only did they listen to their grievances with contempt, but all the Jin troops listened to it with pantothenic acid in their hearts.
The dignified overlord of the Jin Kingdom, in the past nineteen years, has been domineering and leaking in the world, sweeping the major princes, and now he can't even win a Chu State that has just come out of the Chu Yong War, and he is so ashamed to open his mouth.
But there is no way around it.
This time, the Chu army was very evil, which made them very puzzled, but they had to admire, be annoyed, and be ashamed.
Although Zhao Chuan did not admit that he lost to Ruo Ao Ziyan, who was also the son-in-law of the prince, it was an indisputable fact that the morale of the Jin army was low and the morale of the Chu army was high.
So after waiting for a long time for Qin Jun to hear back, Zhao Chuan made another dizzy decision.
"Qin Guo's subordinates are defeated, and they dare not reply for a long time!"
Zhao Chong was in the middle of the handsome seat, and he shot the case, "Come here, send an order to the whole army to attack Chongguo instead!"
He ordered the whole army to march to Chongguo, an ally of the Qin State, intending to attack Chongguo in order to avenge the defeat of Beilin, and at the same time was eager to reinvigorate the current situation of low morale among the soldiers within the Jin army with this battle.
When Ji Liuyu heard that the whole army was pulling out the camp and preparing to march towards Chongguo, the sword in his hand "touched" the ground and slashed on the long case, splitting into two sections, and couldn't help but scold Zhao Piercing Hu Lai behind his back.
"This Zhao Chong is simply looking for death, if the Qin army hears that our army is attacking Chongguo, the new hatred and old hatred are added together, and it will be strange if he does not join forces with the Chu State!"
Xian also persuaded Ji Liuyu to immediately go to the main tent to stop Zhao Chuan's barbaric advance.
"Let's go!"
"Let's go see Zhao Chuan!"
……
"How's that, how's that?"
"Senior brother, do you want to praise me!"
"What shall I boast of you?"
Ruo Ao Ziyan, who had just heard the news that the Jin army had pulled out the camp and was about to go to Chongguo, raised his sword eyebrows, and looked at Jiang Wuye, who opened the big tent and rushed in like a gust of wind.
Every time no one arrives.
The sound comes first.
Qingpu Jiangliu and the others wanted to stop them, but they were all left behind by him, so they could only kneel on the ground and plead guilty, "Childe, the subordinates are not well guarded......"
"Get out, you can't keep it if you want to!"
Ruo Ao Ziyan waved his hand.
With Qingpu's skills, they couldn't stop Jiang Wuye, and everyone rushed out when they heard the words.
Jiang Wuye propped up his hands and sat on the long case in front of him, and the nasty voice kept coming to Ruo Ao Ziyan, making him frown, "Who is the junior brother calculating?"
Ruo Ao Ziyan straightened his sleeves and closed his plan of action.
Although he didn't answer, the corners of his lips turned up with a smile.
It's an answer.
"Sure enough, every time I saw my lovely junior brother smile like this, I knew that there must be an unlucky ghost who was going to be finished again. ”
Jiang Wuye's eyes narrowed slightly, and he leaned closer, looking at the smile looming at the corner of Ruo Ao Ziyan's mouth, but he pushed it away, and said in disgust, "Don't get too close to me!"
Jiang Wuye didn't mind, and instead looked at him with his chin on a worried face, "But junior brother, I have always had a question, it is said that Zheng Gong sent you Xia Ji, the first beauty of Zheng Kingdom, in order to thank you, and along the way, Caihou's major vassal countries have also prepared countless beauties, all of which have been stripped naked by you and given away, why is this? Or do you not do it...... What will Phoenix do in the rest of her life?!"
"I can't?"
If Ao Ziyan's face suddenly turned cold when he heard Yanjun, he really wanted to slap the guy he saw to death, his sword eyebrows were high, he looked up at someone opposite, and began to settle accounts with him.
"I remember who said that he would bring Jin Gewei to solve the Song army besieging Zheng Guo for me?"
"But in the end, you didn't even see a shadow?"
"I want to too, but junior brother, you don't know that every time my Jin Gewei goes out, he needs bronze armor to protect himself, and he also needs to be equipped with bronze swords, halberds, spears, military boots, war horses, and chariots...... These are not cheap, it costs 10,000 gold to travel 100 miles a day, from the country of Qi, nearly 500 miles, and the march is more than a month, and the cost of 300,000 gold is not worth it......"
"Didn't you take half of the Qi State treasury out this time?"
Ruo Ao Ziyan raised his arms and chests, raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Wuye, who was crying poor, with a look of disbelief.
"Senior brother, you must know that no amount of money is enough to spend......
"Senior brother, in addition to supporting the army, the beauties from all over the world along the way are really gentle and lovely, and they are good at understanding people's clothes, so I have received two hundred new ones, or I will send you some, and you will send me some gold? By the way, I will also send me the first beauty of the Song Kingdom, anyway, you don't need to keep it,!" Jiang Wuye pulled his sleeve and crossed his fingers with him, "Then after the war is over, I will go back to Chu with you and meet the phoenix I have been thinking about for a long time." ”
"Huang'er, that's what you called it too?"
"From now on, you call me to return to Qi, otherwise I will ask the Duke of Qi to send someone to pick you up. ”
Ruo Ziyan got up without saying a word, cut off his noisy voice, and said to Qingpu outside the tent, "Come on, drive all these Qi people out of my Chu army camp!"
"Yes, Boss!"
Jiang Wuye was kicked out of the Chu camp by the collar at the back of his neck, and Ruo Ao Ziyan looked at Jiang Wuye and ran to tease Ji Liuqing, the Jin army opposite, and was slapped away by Ji Liuyu, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, and asked Qingpu who came in, "Where is Zhao Ming now?"
"Hui Gongzi, according to the time, Zhao Jianjun is fast and whipped, day and night, it should have passed the Hangu Pass, and it will arrive in Yongdu in a few days. ”
Qingpu replied with a fist.
"Okay, I hope Zhao Ming can do a good job this time!"
"Zhao Gongzi volunteered, and he would definitely be able to move the Qin army to the west to send a letter to Guguan. Qingpu said with a smile, "And the Jin State, under the leadership of Zhao Chuan, dug its own grave, and the Qin-Chu coalition army will succeed in attacking Jin!"
