Chapter 407: Two Cities
Zhuo Yiping's whole body stiffened, and then slowly turned around and looked at Zhao Guyi behind him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhao Guyi raised his head, looking at the clear clear sky in the sky through the gap in the leaves, squinting his eyes slightly, and seemed to be looking farther through the blue satin-like clear sky, his eyes were quiet and far away.
Zhuo Yiping looked at Zhao Guyi's side face, his beauty emanated from his bones, with a rare charm of a man, but not bad. She was stunned for a moment, then quickly came back to her senses, and turned to look at the clear sky through the gaps in the leaves.
"When did you find out?" she looked up at the sky with a blank face, but there was no trace of embarrassment after being debunked. It's just that his hands are crossed, and the marks of his fingertips are deeply pinched in the palms that no one can see.
"It's not like it after all. Zhao Guyi said, slowly turned his head, and then turned his head to look at Zhuo Yiping: "What about you, when did you find out?"
I found out that I have affection for Zhuo Si.
Zhao Guyi didn't ask this sentence.
The peach forest became silent, except for the gusts of mountain wind. The magpie that flew over its fingers chirped happily, between the valleys of lightness.
After a long time, Zhuo Yiping slowly spoke: "In the first year of the ancestor, I entered the palace with my relatives to congratulate," she paused, and her face was filled with a faint smile because of her memories: "I saw you standing on the high platform." At that time, you were not even crowned, and your untied hair was half-curled behind your back, clear as the moon. Obviously a lonely person, but he keeps smiling, it seems to be usual, with a smile mask, the smile always does not reach the bottom of the eye, but it still makes people feel that the smile is really beautiful. Do you know how I felt at that time?"
Zhuo Yiping said, turned his head, and turned his head to look at Zhao Guyi: "I think you are very similar to me." I don't like to laugh either, but my mother always makes me laugh and laughs at everyone. But only I know that under the smile on my face, I have a cold heart. It's the same as I do to Zhuo Si. Zhuo Yiping turned her head, stretched out her hand, and picked up a peach blossom on the branch next to her: "Later, I took Sister Ya'er to the back garden to play, and I met you again." You're smiling at me, too. I'm smiling at you, too. It's the first time I've seen you over there. When I first saw you, I started to pay attention to you. ”
As she spoke, she put the peach blossoms in between her to the tip of her nose and sniffed, squinting her eyes pleasantly: "When did you find out that you liked Zhuo Si, I don't know when." Anyway, if there is a place for you, my eyes are on you, so I am concerned about your words and deeds. When... It seems that I really can't remember. ”
In the end, Zhuo Yiping had already closed her eyes, gently sniffing the peach blossoms on her fingertips, and her voice was blown away by the mountain wind.
Zhao Guyi tilted his head and looked at Zhuo Yiping fixedly, with no unnecessary emotions in his eyes. Even the usual laughter was gone. It's just with a bewitching coldness.
A slight breeze blows, sweeping the petals on the branches. It fell on the shoulders of the figure under the tree, and on the hair, but no one lifted it. Quietly it seems to blend into the mountains.
There is an appointment in the whispers in the forest, and the peach blossoms are like snow.
After the Shangsi Festival, the spring light in March is still warm. In the same month, news came from the palace that Concubine Lan was allowed to return to the General's Mansion to live temporarily for three months because she missed her father and married her sister-in-law, and she would not discuss the matter of returning to the palace after the marriage of Sun Zhuo's two families was completed in June.
Compared with the trivial matter of Lan Guifei going home to live temporarily, another thing is to provoke a heat wave of panic and helplessness in Jinping City.
In mid-March, the Huaichuan soldiers who had been holding on to it were finally defeated by Jiang Jin and lost two cities in a row. At the end of the same month, the northern Liaobei army was defeated again, and the military stronghold of Tongren was lost.
The DPRK panicked, and no one had the heart to see the spring anymore. Emperor Ming Xian was furious and prepared to issue an order to drive the expedition. Which place to conquer, Jiangjin or Liaobei?
The court was divided into two factions, headed by Su Xinyuan, the head of the household department, and Sun Xiang, the head of the cabinet, who let the emperor personally conquer Liaobei, and the old ministers headed by Jiang Guozi, the secretary of the criminal department, and Yuanyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, who favored the emperor to personally conquer Huaichuan.
Just when the two factions were arguing inseparably, in early April, another bombshell news came, which almost deafened the ears of the officials of the DPRK and China.
The military department Shangshu Quanwei who has been missing for many days has finally been found, no, it should be said that the body of the military department Shangshu Quanwei was found. On the way to the northland, because it was too hurried, and it snowed heavily for several days, unfortunately on the mountain road of Jingyang Mountain halfway between the northland and the capital, a small avalanche was encountered, and the group rolled down to the cliff, and no one was spared.
Shang was furious and sent the three divisions to jointly supervise and investigate the case, and the three divisions investigated for half a year, and the evidence was conclusive, and it was indeed a natural disaster. The case has just been finalized. That's for later.
Besides, when the ministers of the DPRK and China were fighting in two batches to fight Huaichuan or Liaobei, they received a report in early April that Shangshu Quanwei of the Ministry of War had died, and the next day, they received another letter, and the northern Liaobei army had won a great victory in the counteroffensive!
The army of Western Qi occupied Tongren City for only three days, and was counterattacked by the northern army of Liaobei, and the momentum was like a bamboo. Within seven days, General Liuguang, the commander of Liaobei, personally led the army to kill the enemy and smashed the two cities. Therefore, Tongren City and Xu Daocheng, which had been lost for three months, were both recovered by the army!
This was the first successful news since the war between the west and the north. When Jingzhong received the news, he immediately covered the sadness of the tragic death of the military department.
For a time, Beijing was full of joy, and the praise of the commander-in-chief Streamer became more and more popular. The name of the brave and good soldier of the streamer general was officially launched in Nanshang. The streets and alleys are full of legends about this god who descended from the sky, General Streamer.
April Bingyin Day, Northland.
Zhuo Yijia rode on a horse, followed by Zhihua and Changyu, as well as Vice General Zhang and Vice General Chen.
The group stopped and looked at the high ground outside Xu Daocheng.
Zhuo Yijia held clairvoyance in his hand, staring at the military cloth in the distance of Xu Dao with a thin face. After a long time, he put down the clairvoyance in his hand and turned his head to look at Changyu: "Inform Hongshan that the soldiers in ambush will act tonight." Then he turned his head to look at Li Si next to him: "Pass on my message, let Jiang Duwei lead 100,000 troops and go to the outside of Liaobei City tonight." Act according to the established plan. ”
"Yes!" Changyu and Li Si responded at the same time, and then the two turned around and galloped.
Deputy General Zhang, who was following behind Zhuo Yijia, looked at the backs of the two leaving, took a step forward, got closer to Zhuo Yijia, and said, "Will you act tonight?" ”
Now everyone has seen the strength of General Streamer and is full of trust in her. But Vice General Zhang was still a little worried. Will tonight's action be too hasty?
"Why does the general think?" asked Zhuo Yijia as he took the clairvoyance in his hand into his arms.
Vice General Zhang pinched the reins of the horse with one hand, and pointed to Xu Dao behind him with the other: "I only captured Xu Dao yesterday, and today I hurriedly went to fight Liaobei, and the soldiers have never rested, so the battle will be unfavorable." ”
