Chapter 57: Fighting Back

After waiting anxiously all day, Yu Ruoxu never saw Liang Jin's figure, and couldn't help but be a little restless. She heard the occasional clash of armor and weapons outside, and the faint sound of artillery on the northern border of the city. The entire city immediately fell into a tense wartime state, and she hurriedly ordered the few people in the mansion to tell everyone not to go out as much as possible in the past few days.

A good little Chinese New Year's Eve was completely destroyed by the Xianbei people.

In the middle of the night, the sound of artillery fire in the north of the city seemed to have subsided, and the fighting had been going on for a whole day, and both sides needed time to breathe. Yu Ruoxu's heart has been raised in her throat, and she doesn't know how Liang Jin is...... After all, he hadn't experienced a tragic battle, so I don't know if he was injured?

"Miss Yu, it's late at night, you better go to bed early." Iron Niang persuaded on the side.

Yu Ruoxu smiled bitterly, "I'll wait a little longer and go to sleep." “

This kind of conversation started two hours ago, and Tie Niang was a little helpless, so she could only add a lamp to her, and then silently retreated.

Yu Ruoxu was holding a copy of Sima Fa in his hand, but he couldn't read a word. In the end, she could only stare at the candle flame in front of her in a daze, watching the candle tears fall on the candlestick one by one, until the sky was white.

Fortunately, the heavy snowfall that lasted for half a month finally stopped.

Yu Ruoxu didn't close his eyes all night, and the whole person looked a little haggard. After a few mouthfuls of breakfast under Tie Niang's kind words, she just put down the spoon when she heard someone knocking on the door, "Is Miss Yu there?" “

Yu Ruoxu was so startled that he didn't even have time to put on his cloak, so he hurried to the door, "Who?" ”

"The younger one is Sui Ying, the guard next to the prince, who was ordered by the prince to send a message to the young lady."

Yu Ruoxu opened the door and saw a young man with a delicate face and armor standing at the door, probably just returned from the battlefield, with a few smears of dust on his face and a little messy hair, "This is a handwritten letter from the prince to Miss Yu, please accept it." ”

Yu Ruoxu took the letter in his hand, and his voice trembled slightly, "Is the prince okay?" ”

"The prince is wise and brave, and assisted General Yang to repel the attack of the Xianbei people for the time being." Sui Ying said.

Yu Ruoxu breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, thank you." After that, she thought for a moment and took out a small peace charm from her sleeve, "I have to trouble you to help me give this to the prince." ”

This is what she went to the Big Buddha Temple to ask for before she set off, at that time it was just for her own safety, and now she only hopes to be able to bless Liang Jin on the battlefield.

"Miss Yu, please rest assured, the small ones must be brought." After Sui Ying finished speaking, he bowed to her and hurried to the direction of the barracks.

Yu Ruoxu felt a chill on her body at this time, but fortunately, Tie Niang ran out of the house with her cloak, and saw that her hands were frozen red, so she hurriedly draped it on her, "Miss Yu is recovering from a serious illness, so she still has to take care of her body." “

Yu Ruoxu didn't care about it so much, and opened the envelope with a shivering hand, there was only one sentence on the letterhead, and the handwriting was slightly messy-

Be well, don't read it.

Yu Ruoxu sighed, it seemed that the war was indeed very tense, and he didn't even have time to sit down and write a few more words.

Due to the sudden large-scale attack of the Xianbei people, martial law was imposed on the whole city, and non-military materials and personnel were prohibited from entering and leaving. Yu Ruoxu naturally couldn't return to the capital, so she had to stay in the military uniform all day and wait for the war to stop before making plans.

She will send Pei Changchang out every few days to inquire about the news, it is said that the Xianbei people have been planning for a long time this time, Khan Tuoba Gui personally sat in charge, the eldest son Tuoba Yuan and the second son Tuoba Hongbing were divided into two roads, with tens of thousands of Xianbei iron cavalry swept over. The current Bingzhou City is like an isolated island, General Yang and Liang Jin are stuck in the north of the city, and they haven't taken much advantage for the time being.

Yu Ruoxu has been in Liang Jin's study in the past few days and has seen a lot of maps of Liaodong, and found that Bingzhou City is located between two mountains, with Yanshan Mountain on the west side and Changbai Mountain on the east side, so it is an easy place to defend and difficult to attack. Once the city of Bingzhou is lost, the entire Liaodong will be flattened by the Xianbei people.

When the time comes...... The capital will also be in danger.

She nestled in her chair and stared at a copy of Liaodong Zhiluo in a daze. Before she knew it, she muttered to herself, "I'm really useless, I can only sit here, and nothing else can be done." “

"Who said that?" A familiar voice came. Yu Ruoxu was startled, raised her head in a daze, and saw Liang Jin appear at the door of the study in a battle robe, her face was a little haggard, but her eyes were still bright, looking at her gently through a desk.

"Liang Jin!" Yu Ruoxu jumped up from the chair, ran in front of him in three steps and two steps, looked him up and down first, and reached out to touch his robe, "Are you okay?" Are there any injuries? “

There was a lot of mud on his robe, even on his face and neck, and the whole person looked a little wolf. Thankfully, there was no blood.

"I'm fine." Liang Jin smiled helplessly and reached out to support her shoulder, "It's you, obviously you didn't go to the battlefield, why are you even more haggard than me, who has been on the front line for five days?" “

Yu Ruoxu was suddenly a little embarrassed, and embarrassed to say that he couldn't sleep at night because he was worried about his safety, so he only looked at him left and right, "How is the war?" Xianbei over there......"

Liang Jin helped her sit down, "Don't worry, I'll tell you slowly." “

Yu Ruoxu poured a cup of hot tea for her, "I heard that Xianbei's side is attacking the city of Bingzhou in two ways, is General Yang sure?" ”

Liang Jin took a sip of tea and said in a deep voice, "This time, Tuoba Gui has made a bloody investment and brought out the two sons who are the most capable of fighting. However, we have our own solutions. ”

Yu Ruoxu raised her eyes, "What countermeasures." ”

Liang Jin smiled, "With the way of others, he will also govern his body." ”

Yu Ruoxu was stunned, "You mean...... Flying ants? ”

Liang Jin glanced at her approvingly, "That's right, they used flying ants to poison our soldiers before, and this time it's their turn to taste the taste of being sucked by flying ants." ”

"That's a good plan, they don't have artillery yet, and we've dug up the white grass around here, so they can't think of any way to get rid of the flying ants for the time being." Yu Ruoxu said, "But...... It's best to hit it in one hit, can you find that many ant nests? ”

"You don't have to worry about that." Liang Jin smiled, "I have already sent someone to secretly go out of the city and dig ant nests on the grassland, and when the time comes, follow their method and throw it near their camp." “

Yu Ruoxu thought thoughtfully, "By the way, you'd better let people measure the direction of the wind, because the northwest wind was raging before, the flying ants were blown south by the wind, so we will suffer from the ant plague." This time, you have to be careful not to hurt yourself again. ”

Liang Jin nodded, "What you said makes sense. ”

Yu Ruoxu saw that his face was full of stains, and couldn't help but say softly, "I asked Tie Niang to bring you a basin of water, and it may be more comfortable for you to wash your face." ”

Liang Jin was stunned, and a smile appeared in the corner of his eyes, "Okay." ”

Yu Ruoxu got up and asked Tie Niang to bring in a basin of warm water, and was about to speak, but found that Liang Jin leaned his head on the back of the chair and fell asleep deeply.

Tie Niang gently put the basin on the shelf and asked in a low voice, "Miss Yu, this ......?"

"You go down first." Yu Ruoxu instructed, "You go and say to the person who came back with the prince, let him pay attention to the time to return to the barracks, and remember to come in and report in time." ”

Iron Lady nodded and tiptoed back.

Yu Ruoxu soaked the handkerchief in water, and then carefully wiped Liang Jin's face. He didn't seem to close his eyes for several days, his eye sockets were all blue, and stubble faintly appeared on his chin, which added a bit of vicissitudes compared with the usual appearance of the breeze and moon.

She helped him wipe the ashes off his face, and then sat down beside him, looking at him carefully.

Liang Jin's eyes are extremely good-looking, even if they are closed, they can see the thick eyelashes and slightly upward corners of the eyes. Yu Ruoxu remembered that his pupils were particularly dark, and when he looked at him quietly, she always had the illusion that she was about to be absorbed into it.

Yu Ruoxu was in a trance, Liang Jin, who was staring at the scorching sun and standing on the city tower and forcing Wei Yuanli to stop shooting, Liang Jin, who was muttering about the eight hardships of life by the Jing'an River, and Liang Jin, who was sleeping in a battle robe and clothes in front of her, were constantly intertwined in front of her.

They turned out to have been through so much together.

There was a knock at the door, Yu Ruo came back to his senses, and Liang Jin also opened his eyes vigilantly, and sat up from the chair in an instant. I only heard Sui Ying's voice outside the door, "Lord Shizi, it's time to return to the camp, we have to ......"

Liang Jin snorted, with a thick tiredness in his voice, "Okay, I'll come out right away." After that, he looked back at Yu Ruoxu, and saw that she was still holding a handkerchief in her hand, and was stunned, "You ......"

Yu Ruoxu was a little embarrassed, "I saw you asleep, I was embarrassed to wake you up, so I made my own decisions......"

Liang Jin touched his clean cheeks and smiled gently, "Thank you." ”

"You have to take care, this is the biggest thank you gift to me." Yu Ruoxu sighed, "I'm here waiting for you to come back." ”

The smile in Liang Jin's eyes rippled little by little, and he took out the peace charm she gave him from his chest, "With its blessing, I promise to come back safely." ”

Yu Ruoxu also smiled back at him, "Go quickly." ”

Liang Jin nodded, looked at her deeply again, and then pushed the door and left.

Yu Ruoxu looked at his back stupidly, and for some reason, there was some confusion in his heart.

A few days later, I heard that Yang Zhen's army and Tuoba Yuan had a head-on clash near Yanshan, both sides were killed and wounded, on the other side, Liang Jin led the army to surround Tuoba Hong's iron cavalry in a valley of Changbai Mountain, and then quietly transferred the army to the mountain, and released dozens of flying ant nests with lightning speed, Tuoba Hong's army was tortured enough by the blood-sucking flying ants, and the battle situation was reversed.

Hearing this news, Yu Ruoxu was overjoyed, "There is finally good news." ”

"yes." Pei Changchang said, "The people of the entire Bingzhou City are cheering, saying that the prince has made the Xianbei people suffer a big loss!" “

Yu Ruoxu said with a smile, "Indeed...... Now that there is only Tuoba Yuan in front of him, he can't scream, I don't know what Tuoba Kei is going to do next? ”

Pei Changyuan thought for a while, "This time the Xianbei people have suffered a defeat, the old khan will definitely not be reconciled, maybe he will concentrate on finding the weaknesses of General Yang and the prince to fight back." ”

Yu Ruoxu nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, although the war has been reversed now, we don't have a full chance of winning, as for the weakness......"

She couldn't help frowning, now Yang Zhen and Liang Jinbing are divided into two ways, one is in Yanshan and the other is in Changbai Mountain, which means ...... And the state city guards the emptiness.

If Tuoba Kei chooses to storm and annex the state city...... The consequences are unimaginable.

The more Yu Ruoxu thought about it, the more frightened she became, but the facts happened according to her thoughts-

That night, Tuoba Gui, who was sitting in the rear base camp, suddenly attacked, and went straight to Bingzhou City with an elite iron horse.
