Chapter 248: Leaving Beijing
Dong'an chattered and talked for three days, until Zhou Wei became the vanguard and took the four guards to leave the capital, so that Xue Shizi's ears were quiet for a few days. After another two or three days, Xue Yu and General Ji Shaoyang each led 10,000 horses to march south from east to west.
The two armies met with the sage's mid-lane men near Yuanyue, and after the sage had toured the camp, he summoned the generals to a meeting in his tent as usual. Sun Senjun stood up and unfolded the map, and told the news that the scout had brought back.
The sage kept a short ran, wore a jujube red robe, and wore a golden bright light armor on his body, and said in a deep voice: "When our army first arrived in Yuanyue, we are not in a hurry to send troops, you have just listened to Sun Join's words, I don't know what plans you have?"
Several generals were dressed in inky robes and silver-white scale armor and sat around the saint. General Ji was young, and when he saw that no one was silent, he took the lead and said: "Sage, the method of using soldiers, ten will surround it, five will attack it, and double it will fight." According to the simple view of the last general, our army has many soldiers and generals, so why not besiege it. ”
Zhou Wei nodded with a deep sigh and said: "What Shaoyang said also makes sense, it is better to send a forward of three or five thousand people first to test their strength." ”
Xue Yu frowned and was silent, and the sage couldn't help but ask, "Boyan, do you have any concerns?"
Xue Yu nodded: "As the saying goes, if we can capture the thief first, if we can directly smash the Yellow Dragon, we will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort." It's just that I noticed that there are very few cities of the Yuanyue people, and most of them are villages in the mountains, but I am afraid that it will not be easy to surround them. Most of our sergeants fought on the plains, especially those soldiers brought by Yanbei were accustomed to light horseback, and now they want to enter the mountains. First, I'm worried that they won't be able to do it, and second. I am also afraid that they will be ambushed. ”
General Qian came from Yanbei, and after listening to Xue Yu's words, he bowed his head and said: "What General Xue said also makes sense, but we have also fought in the woods in Yanbei, and there is not much difference between thinking about it." ”
Xue Yu shook his head: "I took a few to the neighborhood yesterday to take a look, although it is also a forest, it is different from our north." ”
After deliberating like this for more than an hour, the sage set a date to meet with the king of Pingnan tomorrow. Cheng Jinshan, under the command of Zhou Wei, was the forward, attacking Nanzhao first, and then selecting a dexterous figure from the army to train in the nearby mountains and forests.
The saint sent the generals. But Xue Shizi was left behind, and asked with a smile: "I heard that Bing'er said that the girl is not even willing to give you a guard?"
Xue Yu's face turned red, and he hurriedly defended: "It's not that she is reluctant to give it to me, it's that I don't want it." ”
The saint laughed. Nodding his head, "You little guy." Someone named Dong'an said the same thing. After that, he sighed, and his face showed the expression that Xue Yu had often seen recently, which roughly meant: "Your wife treats you like this, and you still defend her like this, what an infatuated fool!"
Xue Yu had to explain patiently: "My own guards are not weak in kung fu, and they are all experienced in a hundred battles, what do you want her guards to do?"
The saint nodded. Said with a smile: "The words are not bad, just." I remember that there was an open thrush in the previous dynasty, and I thought that the craftsmanship of this Mrs. Zhang's maid thrush was not very good, otherwise how to make a big man thrush. After that, he raised his eyebrows and laughed.
Xue Yu was laughed at by him, and said with a pout: "Our manly husband, what do you want the woman's guards to do." ”
I don't want the saint to cough: "Eh! I can't say that, Wen Xi next to me is the mother who chose to send me from the Lang family, in the early years when I was still King Yi, there was a birthday, it was... On the night of the river, he was raided by the Xidu people, thanks to Wen Xi's desperate rescue. Don't look at him as an internal servant, in fact, his kung fu is no longer below you. ”
Xue Yu went back to his tent stupidly, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, so he called Dong'an in: "You said outside, I don't want my wife's guard?"
As soon as Dong'an heard this, his eyebrows shrugged: "It's useless to say it, no one believes it at all." There are several generals who know Luo Twelve, and many people have heard of the name of Han Hu and Han Leopard. Madame also recommended General Yang to General Zhou. Now the people outside are talking about you, alas......"
Xue Yu was stunned for a moment, and asked with a blank look, "What did they say?"
Dong'an pursed his mouth: "What else can I say, a group of big men can chew the root of their tongues together, it's really to death." General, let's ignore them, we win the battle better than anything else. ”
When Xue Yu heard him say this, he couldn't help muttering to himself: "Is it something worth showing off to ask Madame for a guard?"
Dong'an snorted and said: "Of course it's important, not to mention that this is because Mrs. has you in her heart, and outsiders look at it, it also means that your husband and wife are in harmony with each other." ”
Xue Yu was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and comforted himself: "I'm just a martial artist, and unlike a saint, the king of the county needs the Lan family and the Lang family to support at the border, they just do it for the Yue family to see, so that they can know the dignity of their girl in the husband's family." If I do the same, it will be a joke. ”
In the capital, after more than a month, the weather gradually warmed up, and after Xiaoyu settled down in the capital, he discussed with the Duchess of Guo: "My grandmother is very old, and her children and nephews are still young. I haven't been back to Fengxiang for many years, so I can escort my grandmother home to have a look. ”
The Duchess of Guo wished that she would leave immediately, so she hurriedly said some polite words to stay, and went to the treasury to pick up some cloth and Jingzhong products for Xiaoyu's sisters-in-law to bring.
Xiaoyu took Xue Chen to pack up his salute, and seeing that he was about to leave, Xue Wen ran to the expectation and said, "Sister-in-law, why do you want to go to Fengxiang Road?"
Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Grandmother wants to go back to her hometown when she is old, and my brother in the family can't get out of it. You have to study hard at home, your master went to Yuanyue to fight, you can practice with the guards, don't waste it. ”
Xue Wen held his mouth and said, "Sister-in-law, take me with you." ”
Xiaoyu had other things on the road, how to take him, so he said with a smile: "I'm going to do something, not to play, if there is fun in the future, my sister-in-law will definitely take you." ”
Xue Wen was unhappy when he heard it: "I saw that Xue Chen was also packing his luggage, what he could do, I couldn't do it?" I finished reading the four books and five classics, and Xue Chen didn't even finish half of it......
I don't want Xue Chen to walk in: "Fourth uncle, if you want to follow us, why do you expose my old bottom?"
Xiaoyu saw that the two of them were tense, and hurriedly pushed: "It's not impossible to bring you, you let your mother tell me!"
Mrs. Xu heard that it was as Xiaoyu expected, and she didn't agree to anything, but Xue Wen went to Wuzhou to see it, and she couldn't let go of that freedom anymore, and felt that she was not much worse than Xue Chen, but her sister-in-law looked at him faintly. It's just that he couldn't say that he couldn't move his mother for a while, and when he was worried about himself, he saw Xu Liangqi on the road, so he invited Xu Liangqi to be a lobbyist.
Xu Liangqi was originally Xiaoyu's friend, and when he saw Xue Wen so "seeing the sages and thinking together", he personally went out to persuade Mrs. Xu: "It is better to read ten thousand books than to travel ten thousand miles." At the beginning, the younger brother was fortunate to make friends with the prince when he arrived in Yanbei, and he has today's prestige. ”
Zhao Huanhuan waited for Xu Liangqi to leave and persuaded: "The son can't help the mother, this family will belong to the son and his wife sooner or later, and it is better for the fourth master to be willing to make friends with them than to have a grudge." ”
Mrs. Xu's tears couldn't help but fall again: "Listen to what she said, and ask me to give up my face to tell her." ”
Zhao Huanhuan sighed: "The slave is determined to look at the fourth master, if you don't agree, he may not know who to go to." This disturbance inevitably caused a storm in the city. If you want me to say, maybe this is the meaning of Mrs. Shizi again, provoking the relationship between your mother and son. You see, the fourth master hasn't talked to you much these days, and the fourth master is a child of a rich family who has never suffered hardship. ”
Mrs. Xu twisted the handkerchief hatefully, thought about it again and again, and knew that Zhao Huanhuan was right, but she was reluctant to let her son get into danger, hesitated for a long time, gritted her teeth and said secretly: "As the saying goes, if you can't give up your children, you can't trap wolves." ”
I don't know that the event, it actually reached the Protector, the Protector opened a pair of small eyes, happily ran to the main house and praised it: "Family and everything is prosperous, oops, I really didn't choose this daughter-in-law." ”
Looking up, I caught a glimpse of Mrs. Xu looking at herself with a resentful expression, and couldn't help but smile and said, "You really picked this daughter-in-law well, but I blamed you wrongly, thinking that you had other thoughts." Now look at their brothers, friends and brothers, although Wen'er is young, she is so sensible, and she actually knows how to escort her sister-in-law back to her hometown...... I'd like to see what those long-tongued women in Beijing have to say, huh!"
Although Mrs. Xu guessed that he must be like this, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in her heart, and when Xiaoyu came to say goodbye, she said: "Wen'er is afraid that you don't have anyone to take care of on the road, and wants to follow you to Fengxiang. ”
Xiaoyu was deliberately embarrassed for him, but he didn't expect him to really say it, and he couldn't help it, so he had to persuade: "This road is not peaceful, there are guards around me, I'm afraid that something will happen and I won't be able to take care of him, or the next time, I'll take him somewhere else to play." ”
When Mrs. Xu saw her like this, she secretly thought: "It's right to call Zhao Huan'an, she really didn't want to take Wen'er with her, but just deliberately provoked our mother and son." He wanted to make an appearance in front of his son more and more, and said with a smile: "You do something, I have nothing to worry about." Since you dare to take Chen'er with you, why can't you take care of Wen'er? Okay, I'll hand over my son to you, and you can just bring it back. ”
Xiaoyu looked at Xue Wen who was happy, and sighed secretly: "It's just that I want to leave him on the way, and find a reliable manpower, there are a lot of things on this trip, and I don't know what Mrs. Xu thinks, now it's good, I still have to guard against her secretly sending people." ”
Thinking like this, he hurriedly said, "If that's the case, mother might as well send him a few more guards." Fengxiang Mansion is the territory of King Xing, and the security has always been good, but there are several states and counties on the road that are not very stable. She was wishful thinking: "It's better to deal with people on the surface than in the dark." (To be continued......)
