Chapter 209: Feeding the Decoction
After all, Jiang Mei is a hard-working life, so she also ordered: "Brother Gao, just defeated the Beihe army, our army must be arrogant, you must frustrate their sharpness and let them calm down, in addition..." Gao Chi also hurriedly helped her cover the thin quilt,
After Jiang Mei was angry, she continued: "In a short period of time, Beihe will definitely not send troops again, and the army of the West Road will conquer Chencang, which is just around the corner. ”
Gao Chi's expression was abrupt, and he guessed some of Jiang Mei's intentions. However, seeing that she was not energetic at the moment, she just nodded and did not ask more.
"Brother Gao has been fighting all night, and he's tired for another day, his body is not iron, go and rest!" Jiang Mei smiled lightly, her voice was low, and she was already weak.
Gao Chi only told her to rest and then returned to the camp.
As soon as Jiang Mei finished drinking a bowl of porridge, Ruoyun brought in the boiled medicine. Jiang Mei's tent is only served by Ru Hui and Ruoyun, and Jing Yan, Jiuzhu and others are generally only guarded outside. And Xiao Moheng took into account Luoxuan's identity, and asked people to set up a tent for him to deal with the affairs of Yiyun Pavilion. So Jiuzhu, Yue Hua and the others went back and forth when they had nothing to do.
It's just that not long after Gao Chi's front foot left, Xiao Moheng's back foot came to visit. It is naturally a normal thing for the master to come to visit the heroes, but except for Ruoyun, the others around Jiang Mei just reluctantly squeezed out a smile and gave a faint salute.
Xiao Moheng didn't care. Then he glanced at the few of them, and walked straight towards the tent. When Xiao Moheng walked in, Ru Hui was feeding Jiang Mei medicine.
As soon as the two saw the arrival of the Seventh Prince, Ru Hui hurriedly bowed, and Jiang Mei also made a gesture to get up. Xiao Moheng sat down, held her down, and pretended to be angry: "You lie down for me!" Don't rock the boat! ”
After that, he commanded Ru Hui: "Give me the soup bowl!" ”
Ru Hui shrank her hand when she heard this, looked at Jiang Mei's face, and didn't know whether to do it or not for a while.
Helplessly, before Jiang Mei could stop it, Xiao Moheng's tone was aggravated: "Give me the bowl." You go out first! ”
The boss was furious. It's not a joke, Ru Hui obediently presented the soup bowl in front of Xiao Moheng, and then retreated carefully.
And when she walked into the outer room, she was obviously scolded by Jiuzhu and the others. Ru Hui shrugged. Tell Ruoyun to guard outside. He went out.
Inside the tent. Xiao Moheng fed Jiang Mei medicine one by one, Jiang Mei hesitated for a while at first, but Xiao Moheng insisted. So she had no choice but to obey.
So Jiang Mei lowered her eyebrows, looked at the bowl of medicine with a slightly red face, and just begged to finish it quickly. And Xiao Moheng smiled and gently fed her slowly with a spoonful of soup, not only afraid of burning her, but also afraid of cold medicine, not hurried, not slow.
Xiao Mocheng also fed her medicine like this, and at that time she had a lot of sentimentality in her heart that she was going to be opposed to him after all, but Xiao Moheng's current actions made her extremely helpless. After a long time, a bowl of medicine was finally drunk, and Jiang Mei was secretly relieved, no matter what, it was really a matter of fear to let her lord feed her medicine.
"Your Royal Highness personally fed the decoction, Jiang Mei is in his heart?" Jiang Mei said in fear,
Xiao Moheng put down the bowl and spoon, unhappy in his heart, what he didn't like to see was that Jiang Mei was so respectful, treating him as if he was an outsider, as if he was nothing but her lord.
This made Xiao Moheng very dissatisfied, so he decided to bully her when the great doctor Jiang had no power to resist. Xiao Moheng looked at her angrily and said, "You didn't discuss it with me, so you made this plan and went deep into the tiger's den, I will never let you come in the future!" ”
Jiang Mei looked at him apologetically, feeling guilty that she had not discussed with him for overstepping her authority, "Your Highness taught me that it was just that this plan was suddenly born at that time, and the opportunity must not be lost, so there was an act of overstepping authority, please punish Your Highness!" ”
Xiao Moheng smiled with satisfaction and said, "Okay!" With that, he turned around and sat on the edge of the couch, letting Jiang Mei lean on him, wrapping his hands around her body and protecting her in front of his chest.
Jiang Mei was suddenly embarrassed, but she didn't have the strength to move, and she didn't make a sound, after all, there were still people in the outer account? She can lose face, but she still has to protect Xiao Moheng's face?
Obviously, Xiao Moheng grasped this point, and simply leaned his chin against her head, closed his eyes and smelled the fragrance on her body, only a few days later, the thoughts in his heart had swallowed his reason.
Jiang Mei swallowed a breath, helpless, and even a little angry, could this be his so-called punishment? He has been respectful to him, what does he want? Jiang Mei said angrily in her heart, of course she dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.
"Have you learned how to ride a horse?" Xiao Moheng's hoarse voice came low, obviously, he was still jealous of letting Mu Xiaohe teach her to ride a horse last time.
Jiang Mei moved her mouth and wanted to speak directly, but the word "no" came to her mouth and swallowed it back, who knows what he had in mind, so she pursed her mouth and said "um".
Xiao Moheng chuckled lowly, knowing that she was not happy, so he hugged her tightly and joked, "Will it be or won't?" If you can, when you are well, you will go horseback riding with me, if not, then I will teach you again..."Mo Heng's voice was so soft that she was afraid of frightening her, and in that hoarse voice, there was endless love and affection.
Helplessly, someone is a person who doesn't understand the amorous feelings, "Your Highness has a lot of opportunities, don't waste time, I can't learn it..."
When a longing has become a habit, when a longing is deep in the bone marrow, it is difficult for anyone to rewrite it.
Xiao Moheng smiled bitterly, did this girl really not understand his thoughts, or did she do it on purpose, it really made him feel miserable! He sighed lowly, helped her up, let her lean on the futon, held her arms himself, and said gently: "You take care of your illness, don't worry about things in the army, I will let the whole army reorganize and rest, you go to bed early, I'll go back first!" "If he stays here, he doesn't know what he's going to do, so he's going to leave.
Let's talk about it. Without waiting for Jiang Mei to react, he walked out of the inner tent, and when he arrived at the outer tent, he saw that the people around Jiang Mei were all doing their own things with their heads down, and when they saw him come out, they all got up and saluted. Xiao Moheng responded lightly, and went back with Qin Xin, who was outside.
After Ru Hui saw Xiao Moheng leave, she was the first to enter the tent, but saw Jiang Mei sleeping on her side towards the inside.
When Ru Hui walked over to cover her with the quilt, she heard her throw a cold word. "In the future, the Seventh Highness will come down to look for me. Let's just say I slept! ”
Ru Hui was stunned for a moment, and she understood her intentions, so she couldn't hold back a smile, "Hey..." After covering the quilt. I went out by myself.
Early the next morning. Xiao Moheng ordered the whole army to reorganize and rest for training.
When the main force of the East Road broke through Gong Shiyuan's army of 70,000, the army of the West Road, which had rested for a few days, also began to prepare for the siege. Mubai summoned the congregation to discuss matters in the tent.
"General, the scouts have to be reported, Zhang Tai, Li Qitian and Wen Ping are guarding Chencang, Yongxian and Yi County respectively, Chencang and Yongxian are north of the Wei River, and Yi County is on the south bank of the Wei River, and the three are in the direction of the arch guard!" Yi Qing reported the collected military information to Mu Bai one by one.
"Chen Cang is built on a high ground, the east, west, and south sides are steep walls, the city wall is five or six feet high, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and then there is a fierce general Zhang Tai to guard, the city is full of food, it is difficult to capture!" Sheng Youtang analyzed.
"That's what General Sheng said!" Mu Bai nodded, and then he looked at Lu Yang again, motioning for him to say what he thought, and Lu Yang answered knowingly: "Yixian and Chencang are separated by the Wei River, which can be a breakthrough for our army!" ”
Mu Bai also nodded again and again, Fei Lian has driven his troops to Yixian, and it is not a problem to capture Yixian with Fei Lian's ability, but this Zhang Tai in front of him is the real hard bone to gnaw, if you want to defeat Beihe, you must first break his arm, so he has to try to lure Zhang Tai into battle.
Yixian handed over to Fei Lian, he didn't have to worry, and Li Qitian, the defender of Yongxian, was outstanding in martial arts and was a general who was good at attacking, but he was not necessarily good at defending. So Mu Bai wanted to use troops on both sides at the same time, fold Zhang Tai's wings, and force him to go out of the city to save him.
After making up his mind, Mu Bai got up and glanced at the generals, who knew that he wanted to send troops, so they all got up and stood by.
Mu Bai first said to the guard on his left: "Immediately send an order to Feilian, let him attack Yixian early tomorrow morning!" ”
"No!" After the guards received the order, they immediately issued an order.
"General Sheng Youtang, General Lu Yang!"
"In!" The two said in unison.
"The bows, crossbows, and ladders are all ready, please ask the two generals to lead 10,000 horses each, without showing a flag, and at the beginning of tomorrow night, they will attack Yongxian!"
"Yes!"
Mu Bai then added: "General Sheng is attacking Yongxian head-on, and General Lu Yang is on standby on the south side of Yongxian!" ”
After Mu Bai finished speaking, Sheng Youtang and Lu Yang were stunned, looked at each other, and both wondered, they didn't know what Mu Bai's intentions were.
Lu Yang then asked: "General, if you go around to the south side, you will be between Yongxian and Chencang, and if you go deep into the enemy army like this, you are afraid of being attacked by them!" ”
Mu Bai nodded, "What the general said is that Zhang Tai and Li Qitian are both defending without fighting, we have to lure them out, if Zhang Tai sees our army attacking Yongxian on a large scale, he will inevitably attack from behind, so he will be in the middle of it!" ”
"Oh..."Both of them understood, and Mu Bai continued: "General Lu, if Zhang Tai goes out of the city, you will immediately attack the north gate of Chencang with men and horses, and if Zhang Tai can't hold out, then please ask General Lu and General Sheng to capture Yongxian together!" ”
When Lu Yang heard this, he immediately understood Mu Bai's intentions, "I understand, the general's move is both dangerous and wonderful!" ”
Mu Baiwen smiled and arched his hand: "Let the general be in danger, Mu Bai will thank you first!" Then he bowed to him.
Lu Yang hurriedly returned the salute, "Don't... The general tortured me, and it was Lu Yang's honor to be able to make meritorious service with the general! ”
Mu Bai said happily: "Then it's hard work for the two generals!" Mu Bai then looked at his disciple and said, "Yi Qing! ”
"The last general!"
"You take 10,000 elite soldiers, ambush on the side of Weishui, if Zhang Tai goes out of the city, you will attack Chencang, if Zhang Tai defends the city, you will refuse to guard the camp!"
"Order!" Yi Qing said firmly.
At this time, Lu Yang looked at Mu Bai again and asked, "The general asked General Yi Qing to guard the city, I don't know what trick the general himself will make?" ”
Mu Bai smiled lightly and said proudly: "I will lead the troops to hide in the northwest of Chencang, Zhang Tai will not go out of the city, and I will guard the rear for the two generals, if he goes out of the city, this general is thinking about meeting him for a while!" A hint of gloom flashed in Mu Bai's eyes, whether it was Li Qitian or Zhang Tai, this time he would make Beihe lose a general.
The generals of Beihe who are good at defending the city are Li Daolin and Gong Shiyuan, while Zhang Tai and Li Qitian are both brave generals who are good at attacking. However, Li Daolin died, and Gong Shiyuan needed to block the main force of the Huan army, so he had to let Zhang Tai and Li Qitian guard the western front.
"Haha... The general is heroic and powerful, and there is probably no one in the world who is the general's opponent! Lu Yang admired,
"Haha... General Lu is overrated," Mu Bai laughed and said, such beautiful words could no longer shake him by half a point, and fifteen years of incognito were only to make Beihe bloody battle today.
After everyone laughed for a while, Mu Bai said, "Please ask the generals to prepare!" ”
"Yes!"
The next day, Mu Bai was in full swing to prepare for the war, and Yiyun Pavilion also prepared all the grain, grass and equipment, Mu Bai inspected, but repeatedly sighed Jiang Mei's strategic work, if it wasn't for her far-sighted planning to form Yiyun Pavilion to ensure the timely supply of military pay materials, it would be impossible for the Huan army to support it for so long, and it would not dare to make such a large-scale long-distance climb. If the Northern Expedition wants to be credited, she should be the first to make a contribution, and the Seven Princes should also know this, Mu Bai sighed in his heart.
On the night of June 11, the fifteenth year of Dahuan Jingxi, Sheng Youtang and Lu Yang quietly rushed to Yongxian County with a large group of soldiers and horses, and the sentry of the Yan army naturally informed Zhang Tai, the chief general of the Yan army, of the news, and one of the deputy generals under Zhang Tai proposed that Zhang Tai take the opportunity to raid the Huan army from behind, and one suggested that he attack the camp. After a while, another sentry reported the news, saying that a silver-faced general was hidden on the side of Weishui, the camp of the Huan army.
When Zhang Tai heard this, he knew that the Huan army was attacking Yongxian all the way, and the army was in the camp all the way, luring him to attack the camp. However, during the day, he had received a report that a silver-faced general had attacked Yixian, and if he did not save Yongxian, Yongxian would inevitably be lost. So after thinking about it again and again, Zhang Tailiu left a pair of generals to defend the city, and a pair of generals quietly led troops to guard the south of Chencang City, in case the silver-faced general attacked the city, and he personally led 10,000 iron horsemen out of the city from the side gate, went around to the rear side of the Huan army, and attacked from the rear when preparing to attack the city by the Huan army.
Fifteen years ago, Zhang Tai had a fight with Mu Bai, at that time the two were young generals with strong blood, and the two fought more than 100 times, Mu Bai was good at martial arts, slightly better than him, for so many years, although Mu Bai established a hundred-foot building, but the records and characteristics of the generals under Beihe were meticulous.
He expected that Zhang Tai would not be able to sit still, and Zhang Tai did not take Sheng Youtang and Lu Yang in his eyes, and thought that it was the best policy to go out of the city to save Yongxian, how could he think that the opponent who had been dead for fifteen years was luring himself into his encirclement step by step?
When Zhang Tai led his troops to ambush in the rear of Sheng Youtang's army, Mu Bai had already commanded an army of 15,000 to surround Zhang Tai from three sides. When Sheng Youtang began to attack the city, Zhang Tai was about to wave his army to attack, he killed a soldier and horse on the left and right, he frowned and knew that the enemy army was prepared, he was not a cowardly person, but he was worried that the Huan army would take the opportunity to attack Chencang, so he turned his horse and led the army to prepare to return to defend Chencang.
However, when the armies on both sides came to cover up, the army retreated and was chaotic, and the chaos was defeated, but Zhang Tai couldn't, while commanding a few generals, he led a large group of men and horses to rush back to Chencang, but unfortunately, when he galloped bravely, a mighty general in silver armor blocked his way. There was a group of soldiers standing beside the man, and the soldiers looked at him one by one as if they were looking at their prey, which suddenly made Zhang Tai's heart panic and his back cold.
