Chapter 55, Brothers Suspicious
Yelu Chengfeng asked his subordinates to carry Yang Ningyu on their backs, and then took Yan'er back to the cave where they lived temporarily.
Because Jinyang City is now at war, there are no nearby town stores to stay in, so since Yan'er and Yang Ningyu disappeared a few days ago, Yelu Chengfeng and his subordinates have been living in this cave, so that it is convenient for them to come out on this mountain from time to time to find Yan'er's traces.
"Mother, let's rest here tonight. When tomorrow dawn comes, we will go into the city again. Yelu Chengfeng said respectfully to Yan'er.
"It's all up to General Yelu to arrange." Yan'er's previous prejudice against Yelu Chengfeng has all been replaced by trust at this time, and it is really safe to have him by her side to protect her.
"Jinyang City is flooded now, and I don't know what happened to my father and younger brother!" Yang Ningyu suddenly looked sad.
"Brother Yu, don't worry too much, Madam, they will be all right." Yan'er comforted
At this time, the 100,000 iron cavalry led by Ye Luxian had also arrived near Jinyang City.
"Your Majesty, we have entered the territory of the Northern Han Dynasty, and about thirty miles ahead is Jinyang City. We will set up camp here tonight, let the soldiers rest and rest first, and we will directly attack the Song camp early tomorrow morning. Although Xiao Siwen is not good at the art of war, he also knows the truth of recuperation. The Liao army was already exhausted from rushing around continuously, and if it directly attacked the Song army at this time, I am afraid that it would suffer a lot of losses.
"It's okay, then you order to go down, set up camp here, let the soldiers eat, drink, rest well, and take the Song camp directly tomorrow." Ye Luxian very much agreed with Xiao Siwen's suggestion, so he ordered the three armies to camp on the spot.
At this moment, a firework suddenly appeared in the sky in the distance, and it soared into the sky!
"That direction, but the direction of Jinyang City?" Ye Luxian turned his head and asked Xiao Siwen.
"Back to the emperor, the fireworks did come from near Jinyang City, and looking at the color of the fireworks, if Weichen is not mistaken, it should be sent by Yelu Chengfeng. It seems that he has found the concubine Niangniang, and so far the concubine Niangniang is fine. Xiao Siwen said with a happy face.
"Is that true?" Xiao Siwen's words made Ye Luxian overjoyed, and along the way, he was always worried that he was too late, afraid that he would not be able to save Yan'er. Now Yelu Chengfeng sent someone to send out a fireworks message, then Yan'er must be fine.
"The emperor can be relieved, the concubine Niangniang has the protection of General Yelu, and she will definitely retreat."
Ye Luxian nodded with satisfaction, as if Xiao Siwen had given him a big reassuring pill, so that he finally took his heart back into his stomach.
However, this night, Song Ying was extremely unpeaceful. Because the grain and grass of the Song army were all lit by Yan'er, the Song army was busy rescuing the grain and grass all night, and they couldn't care about attacking Jinyang again.
"How much food and grass is left of our army now?" Zhao Kuangyin was anxious in the camp tent.
"Brother Hui, the fire is too big, and we only snatched back a very small part, which is probably only enough for the whole army to eat for two days." Zhao Kuangyi replied.
Zhao Kuangyin was silent for a moment, just walking back and forth in the tent.
"Brother Huang, now that the grain and grass in the army have been burned, if you don't retreat, I'm afraid it won't be good!" Zhao Kuangyi said worriedly.
"It was you who said it was you who attacked at the beginning, and now it's you who says it's quitting!" Zhao Kuangyin looked at Zhao Kuangyi with a cold face and said, in fact, he has long been dissatisfied with this younger brother, but he has always maintained a superficial peace due to his brotherhood.
"Originally, it was easy to take Jinyang City according to the original plan, but who would have expected that the grain and grass would be burned tonight." Zhao Kuangyi was also quite annoyed by the burning of grain and grass.
"How did I hear that the person who set fire to our army's food and grass is the woman you brought back to the camp a few days ago, I wonder if you should explain?" Zhao Kuangyin frowned and looked at Zhao Kuangyi and asked, his words were cold, and he didn't feel the affection between brothers at all.
These words really shocked Zhao Kuangyi's heart, and no one else knew about Miss Yan'er's entry into the camp except for a few of her own guards and imperial doctors. So where did the royal brother know about it? And he didn't even know that the burning of grain and grass was done by Miss Yan'er, where did the royal brother get the news?
Thinking of this, Zhao Kuangyi broke out in a cold sweat in his heart. He knew that his brother didn't believe him for a long time, and now he happened to bump into this incident, and he was afraid that it would give him a good excuse again.
Even though there were already a thousand waves in his heart at this time, he still had to do enough drama on the surface, so he said: "Back to the imperial brother, the younger brother did bring back a woman a few days ago, but that woman is none other than the princess who has not yet married the princess."
"Princess? When are you going to marry the princess, why don't I know? Zhao Kuangyin was very surprised by his brother's words. In his impression, although there are several side concubines in his younger brother Zhao Kuangyi's mansion, he has not been canonized as a concubine for so many years. Why did an unmarried concubine suddenly appear at this time?
"Returning to the emperor's brother, the courtier and the Yan'er girl fell in love at first sight, so I really don't want to miss such a good fate. A few days ago, due to the urgency of military affairs, I didn't have time to report to the imperial brother, and I asked the imperial brother to forgive me. ”
"What do you explain for the burning of grain and grass in the army?" Zhao Kuangyin still refuses to give up.
"I don't know who the imperial brother heard say, the grain and grass were burned by Miss Yan'er? Can you let that man come out and confront his brother? Zhao Kuangyi expected that with Zhao Kuangyin's character, he would never let the whistleblower come out to confront him, after all, they have been brothers for decades, and they naturally know each other's temperament very well.
Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin was furious in his heart, but he was helpless. Because of the burning of grain and grass, he was just making a false shot, just to test his younger brother Zhao Kuangyi. If he had to come up with any evidence to prove it, he wouldn't have been able to produce any evidence. But having said that, if you admit that it is your own problem, wouldn't it be too shameless? So he pretended to be calm and said: "I will send someone to verify this matter, if it is really found out that it was your little wife who did not enter the door, then I will deal with her at that time, don't feel distressed." ”
"Brother Huang can rest assured to investigate, if it is really Miss Yan'er's doing, the younger brother will never make any more excuses."
"You stand down, let me think about the matter of retiring from the army."
