Nan'an Chu Prefecture, Yue Wangfu.

The backyard was drained, the prisoner was lost, the missing princess Yuan was not recovered, and Mrs. Zhang's child was not saved.

He lectured with a calm face in the Nan'an Dusi, and he did not rest from morning to afternoon, and the officials were all wilted and drooping, and their stomachs were hungry and thirsty.

Ling Jieyu, the governor of Nan'an, has always been an ornament, and he is not seen in the council hall, but it doesn't have much impact. The commander did not dare to sit, and the rest of the people did not dare to sit, at this time the hall was silent, only the roar of King Yue denouncing the court was extremely loud.

"Commander Xie is a friend of this king for many years, he died so miserably, if this king can't get justice for him, he won't have the shame to meet his family!"

The prince sent Xie Lou's eyes and arms back, and he was still thinking about face. The commander said silently.

"Now the descendants of the Daqi royal family are not filial, and the ancestors have spirits in the sky, so they must not see the same clan killing each other. However, the children in the palace are too deceitful, and this king has been following the rules and keeping himself in Nan'an for many years, but he still can't tolerate it, and he will definitely lead troops to level the king's fiefdom! The royal family is not prosperous, and there are only two vassal kings who are far away from Beijing, Sheng Yunyi is determined to cut the domain, which is really not in accordance with the law of etiquette and disregards human ethics. This king wants to see who speaks in the three southern provinces! ”

"I would like to hear from His Highness." The commander said smoothly. You have several children in your family, and it is not considered that the children and grandchildren are not prosperous.

The martial man's ears were sharp, and he looked at the screen in the distance, and a thousand households of Chuzhou Wei hurriedly led a small soldier into the hall.

The officials regained their spirits, and it should be a letter from General Wu at the front.

Qianhu handed the letter to the commander of the state guard, and the commander of the state guard held it in both hands and handed it to the capital...... Before the commander could meet it, the letter with fire paint reached the king of Yue.

Sheng Fuyu squinted his eyes carefully from the beginning to the end, and suddenly laughed. Although the officials in the room did not know what was happening, they also breathed a sigh of relief and laughed one after another.

Nowadays, people have to squint when they don't agree with each other, and the prince's eyes are still small. Those who did not receive the letter were all in command while laughing and slandering.

"The Son of Heaven is in Suiling City."

One sentence was abruptly dropped, and the laughter came to an abrupt end.

King Yue twisted his beard and said, "Don't stand." ”

The commander took the lead and sat down, and the sore legs of the civil officials were relieved, revealing a painful and happy expression.

"This king has long felt that the handling of political affairs in Beijing during this period of time is too loose, not the original style, and no one can judge whether the Son of Heaven is in Fanjing, and it is really expected by this king. General Wu made a pilgrimage with the king ten years ago, and besides, he has good eyesight and is cautious in his work, so he will not be mistaken. What do you think should happen next? ”

The prince just likes to throw bricks and lead jade, and he will have a great sense of accomplishment after denying his subordinates. So the commander of the capital humbly said:

"Xia Guan thinks that since General Wu can be sure, then we should help him. I hadn't heard the news of the southward movement before, and now I haven't intercepted the movement of the imperial army...... Could it be a trick of the imperial court to lure us into the enemy's ranks? ”

Several petty officials nodded hurriedly.

King Yue waved his sleeves, "What do you think of the prefects of the prefecture?" ”

The civil officials knew the way out, how could they have any decent opinions, praised the merits of the successive kings of Yue in Nan'an, and quietly stopped talking.

"Commander Sun is worried. However, the king had received definite information that the imperial court was not without soldiers, but that he was unwilling to spend a large number of troops on cutting down the feudal domain. The Liang State intended to march south, and the Rong family was heavily garrisoned on Xuanying Mountain, unable to move. King Yue became more and more happy, "Now that Pingbai has been on the throne for six years, he is young and vigorous, and he doesn't know that those who want to fight outside must first settle down, and only 100,000 horses are divided into south, and the 150,000 troops under this king are trained in vain!" ”

The commander said: "Although the strength of the imperial court is not as good as ours, but with the current town, the morale will definitely rise." ”

A white-faced civil official retorted: "Lord Sun, when it comes to morale, we have the upper hand. Several generations of princes have been stationed in the South China Sea since the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, and they are deeply loved and revered by the people. ”

Another humanitarian: "There are a total of 30 ships in the coastal waters, and although they can't sail into the river, the ships for water warfare are enough for them." The northerners will only make a small fuss on the Yingshui, how have they ever seen our well-equipped warships? ”

King Yue listened very much, and held up the teacup and skimmed the foam.

Commander Sun sang with a white face: "The location of Suiling is important, one side is surrounded by water and three sides of the mountain, if the other party is holding on to the city, and continuously uses artillery to stop the advance of the ships, no matter how good the warships are, there is no place for them." Xia Guan dared to ask the prince to send the defenders of Nan'an to assist General Wu from the land, and to break through Suiling in time while the 100,000 people had not yet arrived. ”

King Yue said with a smile: "After a while, this king will repair a book to General Wu, informing him that 30,000 soldiers from the guard are about to go to Lizhou, so that he can go all the way and capture the king." ”

Someone at the bottom asked, "If you want to capture ...... Isn't 30,000 a less? ”

Commander Sun glanced at the general, the young man didn't know anything, let alone 30,000, the prince was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to come out. The lighter he says, the more discredited he is, our prince acts quite like a businessman and is stingy.

"Don't underestimate General Wu, even if there are no reinforcements, they will definitely not disappoint this king, Suiling District has 6,000 people, how can it be against 5,000 warships!"

Everyone thinks about it, this is indeed the case, but is it really so simple to go on the royal expedition today?

Commander Sun has been working in the capital for 20 years, and he has long developed the habit of protecting himself, and he has entered the camp of the Yue Domain, and there is no turning back.

After several days of delaying the battle, the corners of Su Huihui's mouth were foaming, and he stood at the head of the city day and night to urge the military doctors to deal with the wounded. The number of people each day was steady, and she gradually found a pattern, forcing herself to go to the shack every few hours to rest for a while.

During this period, I went back to the camp once to check the cooked medicine made by the imperial doctors. Ruixiang persuaded her to lie in her room for one night, but she refused and returned to the south gate without stopping. Sheng Yunyi came to the city from time to time to inspect, but she took the initiative to avoid it, and successfully did not see herself.

He said he wouldn't come to her again, he just wouldn't come. Su Huihui thought of him every time he closed his eyes, and felt that this was very good and saved a lot of trouble.

"Lord Su!" Without allowing her to hesitate for a moment, the imperial doctor on duty shouted at her: "It seems that there have been more wounded soldiers since the morning, do you still need to keep people on the other side of the barracks?" ”

"Xu Buyang is here."

The imperial doctor frowned and said, "Mr. Xu was transferred away by His Majesty, and your Excellency doesn't know?" ”

Su Hui was stunned, she really didn't know about this stubble. In the past few days, she has no time to pay attention to Xu Buyang, and without him jumping in front of her, she is used to it. Where is Sheng Yunyi going to get him, he will transfer the doctor at this juncture!

The movements of her hands slowed down, and she suddenly remembered that Yan Xugui had said that day that she would leave Suiling in the near future, and her unreliable senior brother would not accompany her, right?

"Next!" The doctors were hoarse.

She didn't have time to think, and looked at the extra people in the shack, and a thin sweat oozed from her forehead. There are indeed a lot of wounded soldiers.

The offensive on the river was fierce.

Before the hour came, the warships under the command of the king of Yue were like eating gunpowder, and they rushed forward vigorously, and Wang Yu ordered people to lift all the guys in the treasury to the wall and set fire to the chain boats dozens of zhang down. There is only a line of extremely thin sandbar between the river and the city wall, the other party was originally on the water, and there was no intention of going ashore, but today's temperament has changed greatly, and the team behind the eagle boat began to assemble the ladder, a posture of vowing to climb over the city wall.

Suiling has 20,000 Siyue state guards, it is said that on the way to Suiling, Wang Xuan and other generals are extremely worried, even if they hold the south city gate, drag it down will only suffer from the enemy, and it will be difficult to escape when the time comes. But His Majesty still doesn't give other orders, is he waiting for the imperial army?

"They're ashore!"

The servant shouted: "Hold it for me!" If anyone dares to let a Nan'an person come up, Li Zhouwei can't afford to lose this face! ”

The sky was overcast, and the sun had been digging back into the clouds for many days, and it was about to rain.

"It's going to rain, the firearms don't shine, they can't climb up." Doctor Wei poked half of his head, full of confidence.

Su Huihui felt that his endurance was not up to his level.

*

"It's going to rain."

After reading the battle report, Sheng Yunyi summoned the river drum guard: "Tell Wang Yu to hold out for seven days, and there is no need to defend it after that." The people in the city have their own decision, so that Li Zhouwei should not worry. ”

The guards immediately ordered to leave the camp.

Ji Wei happened to come in from outside: "Your Majesty, General Rong Daobeiliang has a change, and he doesn't dare to be distracted, but he is worried about the matter of cutting the domain, so he asks His Majesty if he needs to add people." ”

Sheng Yunyi smiled: "When did I care if he borrowed soldiers?" Let him stay in the mountains for a long time. Since you have been worried all day long, then take time to benefit the court and blow up the embankments on the east and west. ”

Ji Wei raised his head suddenly: "Your Majesty, you must not!" There are thousands of people in Suiling City, if the river water pours in, the people in the city will not be able to escape! ”

He seemed incredulous, "Your Majesty wants to open the floodgates and release water and drown the enemy army?" First, they have a ship, and second, the people don't, this ......"

Sheng Yunyi calmly looked at his unfamiliar gaze, and spit out a few words with his thin lips: "Lost in life? ”

"I said I didn't want Suiling."

Ji Wei only felt cold all over his body, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

"Do you know who lives in this city?" Sheng Yunyi took a few steps closer, his dark eyes like a pool, "Who is the caller?" ”

"Sheng Fuyu's army came from the three southern provinces, of which Qi Ning was the majority, this province has many mountains and few mountains, poor materials, and young and strong men of school age all flow to the adjacent Nan'an, but how can the territory of the Yue domain be so easy to enter? The people of Nan'an reject strangers, and the men of the other two provinces can only survive if they are registered in the army and become the most worthless soldiers. The ban on displaced people has been lifted for three generations, and these people, unlike the local military households, have no access to land for their families, and can only rely on monthly silver taels. He calmly recounted, "Some time ago, the price of salt in Suiling soared, women and children knew about it, and the city complained that the Yue clan colluded with the Yan clan to loot profits. Uncle Wang's reputation is not very good, and it is enough to spread the news to the ears of relatives who make a living in Nan'an. ”

"I really want to know, how many of the ships besieging the city are fathers, brothers and lovers of the people of Suiling?"

A muffled thunder rolled over the sky, raindrops smashed on the sand of the school grounds, and the iron horses clanged under the eaves.

Ji Wei easily recovered from the shock, "The most taboo personal feelings are the marching army." ”

Sheng Yunyi looked at the dripping rain outside the window, "It will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected." ”

He turned around and said lightly: "Uncle Wang doesn't even want to allocate tens of thousands of people to Wu Shao as reinforcements, what is the use of this kind of lord?" ”

The smell of earthy dampness floats in the air, and the rainy season is coming.

"The Levee ......"

"Six days later, blow up."

Thunder accompanied by torrential rain crashed on the surface of the river, setting off turbid waves. The chief doctor of the Wei army expected it well, the sky was not beautiful, the horn on the eagle ship whined, and the last rocket went out in the rain.

The hearts of all the soldiers and medics fell back into their stomachs, and Su Hui tiredly took out a brand new sweat towel from his bag, poured some water on it, and wiped his face carefully.

Yu Shouzhong secretly pushed her, she brushed the floor and put down the sweat towel, only to see several old military doctors looking at her, as if written on their faces, "Sure enough, it's a woman and it's a waste of water." She sat or stood awkwardly, half-kneeling on the hay in embarrassment, and did not move.

Doctor Wei finally spoke: "I don't know the etiquette, go back and rest, tidy up what should be sorted out, and eat when you should eat." ”

The people dispersed, Su Hui endured it, but he still couldn't overcome the obstacles, so he first drank a few sips of the water bladder, and then poured out a small half of the soaked fabric. She raised her sleeves to block the view from outside, wiped her face and began to wipe the knife again, and when the blade was stripped of the blood, she put it on the fire and roasted it slowly.

Doctor Wei watched her complicated procedures, and coldly threw a gourd over: "Take this and wipe it." ”

Su Hui pulled the stopper warmly, and the strong smell of wine hit the tip of her nose, choking her cough.

"Haha, this is the strongest wine in our guardhouse, specially used to wash knives. If you pour a little bit of wounded soldiers, Dr. Ren will cut off his arms and legs, and behave like a rabbit. ”

Su Huihui was a little curious, "This ...... Is it hard to wake up? ”

"Master Su hasn't drunk? The old man told you the truth, and they took out this gourd when they were not there, and they gave it to you before they opened it. ”

Su Huihui didn't have much confidence, and defended: "I've drunk it, but I can't drink too much." Now that there are so many things going on in the barracks, don't make a mistake. ”

Doctor Wei laughed: "It can be stored for a long time, Master Su should not waste it, and return to Beijing to enjoy it in the future." ”

A lame guard outside the shed came over: "Master Su, the military doctor on duty in the barracks has prepared the medicine and wants the adult to go back for trial." ”

Something happened again, Su Hui had a splitting headache, and said warmly: "Thank you, I know." ”

She held a bunch of changed coats, carried wine gourds, boarded the board car in three or two steps, and headed north in the pouring rain for a day.
