Chapter 170: The Fall of the Golden City (5)

The next morning, when Mu Qing opened his eyes, the sun was already shining outside the tent, and the tent was empty as last night, without the slightest change. On the simple table, the dry Hu Biscuit she kept for Du Ruhui last night was still lying there. It can be seen that he did not return all night last night, she sighed, shook her dizzy head, and got up to freshen up.

There was silence outside the tent, except for the soldiers who patrolled in groups, the rest were restrained by their own generals, who were on standby in each battalion. Mu Qing walked out of the camp tent and stretched his loose muscles and bones, I don't know if it was because of a good night's sleep or the decoction sent by Zhao Cang, but at this time he felt refreshed and his body was alive. It's just that somewhere in my heart is empty, and I can't help but think of the fleshy little Shiro in Chang'an's house, and I can't help but sketch his immature and white appearance in detail.

After a long time of self-care, she suddenly noticed that there were two Xuanjia Lang guards outside the tent door, and glanced back at the two, one of them was Na Lu Ah Liu, who was squinting and smiling and nodding to her, Mu Qing was slightly stunned, if she remembered well, after Lu Ah Liu entered Chang'an, he was promoted to the head of the team because of his military exploits, and he no longer had to bow down to the guards.

"Team Lu is working hard." Mu Qing bowed slightly, "What danger can there be in the hinterland of the military camp, and Xuanjialang must be used to garrison it." What's more, the Lu team is coming to guard in person, but I really can't help it. ”

Lu Aliu laughed a few times in a hoarse voice, "I invited myself to defend Mr. Du and Qi Niang." ”

Mu Qing deeply felt his affection and righteousness, and he didn't put on those false politeness with him at the moment, "There is Team Lu here, which is the most reassuring thing for Qi Niang, and this will bother Team Lu again." ”

While she was talking, a soldier ran from the big tent, stepped forward and bowed to her, "Please Mrs. Gu move to the big tent, Your Highness has woken up." ”

When Mu Qing entered the big tent, there were already many people in the tent, Li Shimin woke up, but the person was still paralyzed on the couch, his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of gray cloud, and he struggled to talk to people. Yinghua was not in front of her, which surprised her.

Zhao Cang wiped the sweat from his forehead and cleaned up the medical miscellaneous items scattered on the table. Everyone's attention was on Li Shimin's face and demeanor, and Mu Qingxin walked to Zhao Cang's side, "What's the situation at Erlang's side?" ”

Zhao Cang lowered his voice and said, "People are awake, but only temporarily. By dusk, the heat and cold will come and go. If it doesn't matter if you are in Chang'an, you can just cook carefully, and if you are in the military camp in the end, you will inevitably have a few short flavors of medicinal materials, and you can only do your best. ”

"Qi Niang." Mu Qingzheng listened attentively to Zhao Cang's words, and suddenly a fluttering voice came, "But Qi Niang? ”

Mu Qing heard his call, hurriedly raised his hand to stop Zhao Cang, and stepped forward to answer with a smile, "Erlang is awake?" It's been relieved. ”

Li Shimin laboriously raised his hand and waved, and then his entourage stepped forward and invited the generals who came to visit them to the outside of the big tent one by one.

For a while, only Liu Wenjing was left in the big tent, Du Ruhui and Mu Qing, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, bent the knee of his right leg, leaned back tiredly in the brocade, his face looked gray and yellow, and the momentum of the plain rainbow was completely gone, and after a long rest, he finally breathed to her shortly: "According to the current situation, it is not necessary, and then work Qi Niang to lead the way around Jincheng, but the two armies are now facing each other, and they can't get away for the time being, so they have to endure in the army for a few days......"

"No problem." Mu Qing bowed and said: "It's good to be in the army, and I still know some medical care, and after the war, I can fight for Doctor Zhao." He stepped aside and listened to their deliberations.

Li Shimin reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth, which was a smile. Closed his eyes and rested for a while, saved up some energy, and turned to Du Ruhui, "Xue Ju's side, how is the strength?" ”

"About 100,000 people." Du Ruhui replied in a low voice.

Li Shimin frowned and thought about it for a while, "What does Brother Du say?" ”

"Hold still." Du Ruhui had already made a plan in his chest, and said decisively: "Xue Ju's army is far away from Jincheng and stationed in Anding County, and now half of the army is drawn deep into Gaojaw, I am afraid that the grain and grass are already tight." We only need to build fortifications on the spot and hold them firmly, if he does not fight, we will not fight, if he comes to fight, we will only resist, and will never face it. Strive to delay for more than ten days, and when he runs out of food and grass, Erlang should also recover at that time, and then make arrangements. ”

Liu Wenjing couldn't sit still any longer, stood up and waved his hand again and again, "Keming might as well think about it again, the shortage of grain and grass will only force Xue Ju to fight a quick battle, how can it be of great use?" It is better to fight with all our might, with our 40,000 elite soldiers, we may not be able to defeat his 100,000 rabble, and quickly turn back to Chang'an with one blow, and avoid the Xue army of Anding County to come to help. ”

Du Ruhui raised his eyebrows deeply, shook his head slightly, but did not argue, only looked at Li Shimin who was silent on the couch. Liu Wenjing didn't say anything, and the two advocated that they should be presented in front of him, just waiting for him to choose.

Li Shimin thought about it for a long time, as if he had made an extremely difficult choice, and raised his eyes with difficulty: "The order went down, only saying that I was slightly affected by the heat, but I was not allowed to divulge half a word about my illness." From this moment on, only the defense was allowed to resist the enemy, and not a single soldier was allowed to take the initiative to meet the battle. ”

Liu Wenjing let out a low "sigh" and bowed down dejectedly. Du Ruhui raised his eyebrows, put his mind at ease, and took the order to give the order. Mu Qing walked out from the corner of the side and caressed in a soft voice, "Erlang is so good to be raised, don't worry." With that, he curtsied and resigned from the big tent.

On the way back to the tent, a figure suddenly popped out from the side, slapped Mu Qing on the shoulder, bluffed her, and looked at Ye Na with fixed eyes, so he stroked Don't beat his heart, and said angrily: "What is this going on, it makes people dizzy." ”

"What happened to His Royal Highness King Qin? When will this camp continue to Jincheng? Ye Na was impatient, and his questions came up in a lot of ways, and he didn't notice whether there were people around.

Mu Qingla tugged her arm and said in a low voice: "Go back to the tent and say, muttering outside, so that everyone knows, will cause a big disaster." ”

Ye Na retracted his voice suddenly, pursed his lips, lowered his head and followed Mu Qing to the camp. As soon as she entered the account, she eagerly asked Fang Cai's words again, urging Mu Qing to answer.

Mu Qing groaned in embarrassment: "I'm afraid that it is, I'm afraid that I won't go to Jincheng for the time being." ”

Ye Na's eyes suddenly widened, and she took half a step back in disbelief, muttering to herself: "Why don't you go......" After being stunned for a while, the melancholy on her face became more and more intense, leaned over and grabbed Mu Qing's hand and said: "I had a night's chaotic dream last night, and I dreamed that I was still in the Changshi Mansion in Jincheng, and he said goodbye to me, and I dreamed that he came here alone to look for me, and he was messy, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, and when he woke up, he broke out in a cold sweat, his eyelids were heavy, and he jumped straight, and he only felt that something bad was going to happen......"

Mu Qing hurriedly interrupted her, "Sister-in-law is talking nonsense again." It must be that I am too worried during the day, and only at night will I have this messy nightmare, bluffing myself for no reason. ”

Ye Na stared at her suspiciously for a moment, and then suddenly said resolutely: "No, I can't wait here." I'm going back to Jincheng first. ”

Mu Qing was so shocked that she almost didn't jump up, "Isn't Sister-in-law getting more confused?" At present, he is about to strengthen the defense, Keming has sent someone to give an order, and within an hour, the Iron Tribulus Terrestris will tightly surround the entire camp, not to mention that 100,000 Xue troops are stationed forty or fifty miles away, just say that our side, the defense is together, and no matter who appears, the rejection of the horse will be fired with ten thousand arrows. ”

Ye Na snorted heavily from his chest, and let go of Mu Qing's hand that was grasping, "Look at your brother's face, I just beg you not to stop it, you just don't know, I have my own way to get out." Mu Qing still wanted to persuade again, Ye Na raised his hand to cover her lips, and said coldly: "Qi Niang also knows a few Sogdians, you should know that the Sogdians are the most strong, Qi Niang insisted on detaining me in the camp, it was easy, why is it difficult to keep a corpse?" ”

Mu Qing's face gradually changed, she saw her panic and cringe in Ye Na's light brown pupils, and then looked inside, it was her rock-like determination.

She raised her hand to take the hand that Ye Na had hidden on her lips, gritted her teeth, and nodded ruthlessly, "Whatever you want." When I see my brother, I must tell him that my father once said that everything in the world has the qualification to live, and the lives of others are important, but your own lives are not very precious, so you must take care of them. Sister-in-law also take care, I will go to Jincheng to look for you in the near future. ”

Ye Na smiled at this time, "Your brother often said, when the world is stable and there is no more war, let's go back to Yuhang together, set up a small mansion, open a school to teach and preach, raise a few more little babies, and live a peaceful and stable life." At that time, your mother's family was still in Jiangnan. ”

Mu Qing laughed, his smile was clear and sweet, but his heart was astringent and swollen, and his dampness rushed straight to his eyes. She raised her hands to cover her eyes, and did not teach the moisture to gush out, and finally subdued the dampness in her eyes, and when she put down her hands again, she was the only one left in the tent, and in the moment when she covered her eyes, Ye Na had already run out of the tent, and Mu Qingsan chased her outside the tent in two steps, where could she still be found.

She stood outside the tent in a daze, and after a while, the camp sounded the low horn of the imperial defense, and the order of the King of Qin had obviously spread throughout the entire camp, and the soldiers were in groups of ten, carrying the horses with thick iron thorns, and quickly moved to the edge of the camp, and the soldiers with a large stack of iron thistles were rolling, carefully scattering in the ground outside the horses, and secretly placing the iron chains of the tripping horses.

Sure enough, within an hour, the arming had been completed, Du Ruhui patrolled back and forth, made sure that there was no omission, walked slowly to Mu Qing's side, looked her lost soul up and down, grabbed her shoulder and patted her a few times, "Ye Na is gone?" ”

Mu Qing looked up at him in amazement, "How did you know she was gone?" ”

Du Ruyan smiled faintly, and didn't intend to answer her, but said: "She knows what she wants to do, and she can do it immediately, and this is not a bad thing, so there is no need to be sad." Besides, you've done it before, and you know it best. ”R1152
