Chapter 197: Small-bellied Chicken Intestines
But the current battle situation forced him to make such a decision, even if Xiangyang is important, it is not more important than Chang'an, Chang'an is the lifeblood of him and Murong Yue, but as soon as the Wuguan is broken, Chang'an is like a corner of the city wall collapsed, which is really dangerous.
Murong Yue didn't understand Beihe's thoughts, but he understood the importance of Chang'an, even if he was uncomfortable, he had to grit his teeth and hold on, he understood that Beihe's grief at this time was ten times greater than him, Beihe had never had such a miserable defeat in the Three Kingdoms for decades, even Yun Lingbo had never made him so passive, and now almost every move was clearly seen by the other party, this enemy was obviously premeditated for a long time, and it was not too much to describe him as terrible.
Murong Yue had no choice but to be relieved: "Sir, as long as we still have Chang'an, everything is still in time, Xiangyang is lost, and it can be regained!" ”
Beihe nodded, and said dejectedly: "Then please ask Your Highness to preside over the retreat, the old man still has to try to set up some bureaus, and he can't let them get Xiangyang so easily!" Beihe's tone was light, as if he had no strength at all.
Murong Yue understood what he meant, so he replied, "Okay! With that, he went out of the study first, preparing to gather all the civil and military forces and arrange the retreat.
On the eighth night of the fourth month of the fifteenth year of Dahuan Jingxi, Jiang Mei was lying on the couch and asked Ru Hui to dredge her meridians.
Ru Hui gently moved her hand to her left shoulder while massaging her, her hand trembled slightly, and she asked softly in distress, "Does it still hurt..."
Jiang Mei had already sensed Ru Hui's emotions, but smiled easily: "It doesn't hurt." It doesn't hurt for a long time, to be exact, it has never hurt, and the sword I received was exchanged for Brother Mu, which is really worth it, so I'm not too happy to be happy! ”
Although Ru Hui smiled on her face, there were tears in her eyes, "You stupid girl, don't do this again in the future, it will scare us to death!" ”
"Uh-huh. Follow my sister's teachings! Jiang Mei said mischievously.
Just as the two of them were laughing and talking. Jiuzhu's voice sounded in the outer tent: "Miss, Your Highness urgently summons you over!" ”
Jiang Mei immediately stopped laughing when she heard this, and said to the outside: "You go and reply to Your Highness, saying that I will come soon!" ”
After speaking. Ru Hui helped her up. Hurry up and dress her and clean up. Jiang Mei has never worn women's clothes in the army since Xiao Moheng kissed her that night, but she looked at the cumbersome men's clothes. Shaking his head, he was very helpless, the situation was urgent tonight, and he couldn't care about so much.
So she put on a white middle coat and a light blue light shirt, and asked Ru Hui to tie her a simple bun, and then insert a blue jade hairpin, and hurriedly went out of the account.
When Jiang Mei lifted the curtain and walked into the main tent of the Chinese army, Xiao Moheng and Mu Xiaohe saw Jiang Mei, who was elegant and indifferent, as dusty as the bright moon. Both of them looked at her stupidly and were stunned for a long time.
Jiang Mei saw the appearance of the two of them, and knew that they hadn't seen their own women's clothes for a long time, so she smiled and said, "Jiang Mei greets His Highness and the prince!" So he bowed.
Xiao Moheng was happy in his heart, since that night, he was afraid that Jiang Mei had been pretending to be a man, and he was excited to see Fang Zi again tonight.
Mu Xiaohe also had a little joy and a little sorrow in his heart, although Jiang Mei left last night because of his question, but when he saw her true body again, the feeling was completely different, as if the inexplicable heartache and sadness had returned, so he looked at Jiang Mei with a little more apology and sadness.
Jiang Mei saw that one of the two of them was drinking wine with a slight smile, and the other lowered his head and remained silent, so she had to take the initiative to ask: "Your Highness urgently summoned Jiang Mei here, what's the matter?" ”
When Jiang Mei asked, Xiao Moheng and Mu Xiaohe were both dumbfounded, and the two seemed to have forgotten their business because of her appearance.
Xiao Moheng smiled, then restrained his expression, and said: "Girl, tonight Murong Yue personally led the army to sneak attack, I have asked General Gao Chi to personally meet the enemy, this is the largest of their four consecutive night raids, this Yan army is really brave and good at fighting!" ”
Jiang Mei estimated that there should be no food in Xiangyang City, so she hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, who are the generals of the Yan Army who will fight tonight?" ”
"It's Li Daolin and Fan Chuixue, they each led 20,000 soldiers and horses, and they are menacing, and they seem to want to fight to the death!" Mu Xiaohe answered, looking a little worried.
"Yes, once the Yan army failed to sneak attack three nights ago, they would immediately return to the city, and tonight, they seem to be intent on breaking through our blockade!" Xiao Moheng added.
Jiang Mei paced slowly, pondered for a while, and suddenly understood in her heart, so she turned around and smiled: "Your Highness, Shizi, this is Beihe's suspicious plan, Fei Lian and Lian Cheng'an have already rushed to Wuguan, and Beihe naturally wants to send Zhang Tai, who is the best at long-distance raids in the Yan army, to intercept it, and now that there is no food in Xiangyang City, I guess....Beihe must lead people to evacuate Xiangyang City tonight, Murong Yue personally led his troops to attack, ostensibly to defeat us in one fell swoop, but in fact, it was to cover Beihe's retreat north!" Jiang Mei said firmly.
Xiao Moheng and Mu Xiaohe listened to her analysis, and suddenly understood.
"Qin Xin!" Xiao Moheng said to Qin Xin, who was standing on the side of the tent.
"In!"
"You quickly rush to the front line, tell Gao Chi what the girl meant, and let him try to bite Murong Yue's tail! In addition, the same is true for Tao and Shangzhi! ”
"Yes!"
After Qin Xin came out of the account, Mu Xiaohe asked, "Is Your Highness going to pursue Beihe?" ”
"Exactly, Chang'an is not Xiangyang, and the four stoppers are extremely strong, so we must let Beihe hurt his vitality, otherwise how to take Chang'an!" Xiao Moheng said thoughtfully.
Mu Xiaohe was stunned, he didn't expect Xiao Moheng to plan to attack Chang'an, so to speak, he also made thorough preparations, it seems that he is aiming for the Northern Expedition, destroying Dayan in one fell swoop, and repelling Beihe is just his first plan. Xiao Moheng is really bold and strategic.
Just as Mu Xiao was pondering, Tao Yiran and Shang Zhi put on a military uniform and walked in.
"Your Highness, the Prince!" The two bowed.
Xiao Moheng was not verbose, and hurriedly ordered: "The two of you will each lead 10,000 soldiers and horses, immediately go to the vicinity of Xinye, block the Yan army retreating north, and then attack Shunyang County to meet the two generals Fei Lian and Lian Cheng'an!" ”
"Order!" The two of them said in unison, and then quickly retreated.
Wait for the two of them to leave. Jiang Mei instructed Jiuzhu to send Yue Hua to Nanxiang and let Mu Bai pursue Beihe from the west.
Just as Xiao Moheng and Jiang Mei were arranged, Mu Xiaohe had been looking at the two of them indifferently, he suddenly felt that the two of them seemed to have been very cooperative, and he also keenly discovered that Xiao Moheng had a different kind of affection for Jiang Mei, his heart suddenly tightened, and a terrible thought lingered in his mind, "Jiang Mei will not be Xiao Moheng's person!" Mu Xiaohe slowly turned sideways, not letting the two of them see his strange expression, if Jiang Mei was really Xiao Moheng's person. Then everything Jiang Mei did made sense. The two of them obviously wanted to settle north in the Central Plains. Reclaim the old capital!
Mu Xiaohe gradually calmed down, turned around, looked at Xiao Moheng and said, "Is Your Highness determined to go on the Northern Expedition?" When Mu Xiaohe asked this, the afterglow in his eyes was paying attention to Jiang Mei's expression.
He noticed that their faces were calm. And Jiang Mei also looked at Xiao Moheng. There was not the slightest surprise in his eyes. On the contrary, it is a kind of solemnity, a kind of counselor's hope for the Lord. Mu Xiaohe sighed slightly in her heart: She is really Xiao Moheng's person.
Xiao Moheng walked into Mu Xiaohe slowly, and said with a firm gaze: "Not bad." Mo Heng's wish in this life is the Central Plains of Beiding! ”
"Then go down for a day and ascend to the Ninety-Five Supreme, right?" Mu Xiao looked at him peacefully and asked coldly.
Xiao Moheng paused at first, and then laughed and said: "Haha....Shizi is an understanding person, and I, Xiao Moheng, don't want to hide it, I do have the ambition to clarify Unai!" Although he knew that Mu Xiaohe was Xiao Mocheng's person, he also knew that Mu Shizi was open-minded and a true man, and he was willing to treat Mu Xiaohe sincerely.
Mu Xiaohe nodded, and said lightly: "Thank you for Your Highness's honesty," and then he looked at Jiang Mei with an indifferent face and said, "So....the girl is working for His Royal Highness the Seven?" The tone was extremely indifferent, as if it meant reproach.
He didn't blame Xiao Moheng, he knew that Xiao Moheng had the heart to win the heir, but what he hated was Jiang Mei, Xiao Mocheng was heartfelt towards her, and even did not hesitate to disobey his father and mother, but in the end, Jiang Mei met with each other, and she was just using him from beginning to end.
Mu Xiaohe looked at Jiang Mei with a very painful expression, since she was Xiao Moheng's person, why was she so good to herself, why did she still hurt Xiao Mocheng's heart.
Jiang Mei lowered her eyes, looked at the mat on the ground and was stunned, but she smiled bitterly in her heart, in the face of Xiao Moheng and Xiao Mocheng, she could completely ignore their feelings, let them misunderstand, or tell them bluntly, she could not hesitate, but only Mu Xiaohe, she couldn't do it, she didn't want him to be sad, she didn't want to make him sad, she didn't want to do it at all.
Jiang Mei raised her eyebrows and looked at Mu Xiaohe, seeing the long melancholy in his eyes, her heart ached, she wanted to explain, trying to smooth out the sadness in Mu Xiaohe's eyes that made her feel distressed, she opened her mouth, but found that everything was out of the question.......
Mu Xiaohe saw the answer from Jiang Mei's hesitation and sad look, he smiled bitterly, and then turned his head and walked out of the tent.
"Does the prince just want to go to Xiangyang to remember the old man?" When Mu Xiaohe walked to the door, Jiang Mei suddenly burst into a voice.
Mu Xiao and his footsteps condensed, the long-hidden grief in his heart came to his heart again, since he approached Xiangyang step by step, a lot of memories gradually appeared in his mind, in order not to let himself be distracted, he always told himself over and over again that Xiangyang was still in the hands of Yan Jun, and he still had to concentrate on defending against the enemy. But now that Jiang Mei has revealed the most painful scar in his heart, he suddenly has a kind of powerless collapse.
Xiao Moheng looked at Jiang Mei worriedly, not understanding why Jiang Mei wanted to stimulate Mu Xiaohe.
Jiang Mei saw him stop, so she continued: "Shizi, Jiang Mei said something disrespectful, not to mention that the prince has old friends and relatives who died under the swallow's hoof, and how many people on the border have also died because of this, so whether it is for the Nine Emperors or for the Seventh Highness, isn't it all for Dahuan?" Didn't the prince think about the Central Plains in Beiding? Now Beihe and Murong Yue have been hit hard, as long as they can overcome Chang'an, take Beihe and Murong Yue, and capture Dayan will be just around the corner! ”
Mu Xiaohe was slightly shaken by her sincere words, and he hated her for not getting up. And Jiang Mei's meaning seemed to reveal that she and Yan Di also had an enmity with each other, so she felt distressed again, so she hurriedly turned to look at her.
Even Xiao Moheng heard her words, and immediately walked over, wanting to help her, Jiang Mei shook her head and signaled that she was okay.
Mu Xiaohe slowly approached her, his face was full of apologies, and he said softly: "I'm sorry, I caused you to be sad..."
Jiang Mei hurriedly stopped his words, "The prince is serious, I'm fine, it's just....outside the capital, I hope that the prince can join forces with His Royal Highness and fight for the Northern Expedition, as for the future..."
Xiao Moheng understood what Jiang Mei meant, so he looked at Mu Xiaohe sincerely, and said sincerely: "The position of the prince, Mo Heng understands, no matter what happens in the future, Mo Heng admires the son of the world, and Mo Heng will not embarrass the son..."
When Jiang Mei heard this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and put down a big stone in her heart, the reason why she persuaded Mu Xiaohe so hard was that she was waiting for Xiao Moheng's words, no matter what, she wanted the safety of the Mu family in Baoning Prefecture.
Rao is Mu Xiaohe stood on the opposite side of him, but he also had to admire Xiao Moheng's personality, so he arched his hand and said: "Thank you, Your Highness, Xiao He also admires His Highness's magnanimity in private, but Xiao He's position remains unchanged, I hope His Highness understands!" ”
"Haha...the prince is open-minded, Mo Heng admires, let's not think about these things first, as the girl said, let's deal with the common enemy first!" Xiao Mo Henglang smiled.
Mu Xiaohe took a step back, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Follow the orders of the Grand Governor!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, all three burst into laughter.
Mu Xiaohe took one last look at Jiang Mei, then looked away and arched his hand: "I'm going to enter the city tomorrow, I'll go and prepare first!" ”
"Then it's hard work!" Xiao Moheng replied.
Mu Xiaohe said, then turned around and walked out of the camp.
When Xiao Moheng sent him out with a smile, he saw that Jiang Mei's eyes always followed Mu Xiaohe's figure, and he suddenly lost his smile and was very unhappy.
Just as Jiang Mei came back to her senses, Xiao Moheng was angry and said coldly: "You seem to care about his feelings!" In contrast, except for military affairs, Jiang Mei is not so concerned about herself.
Jiang Mei smiled bitterly, she had just appeased her, and the one in front of her was playing with her again, she shook her head and said helplessly: "Doesn't Your Highness want to win over the prince?" ”
Xiao Moheng was puzzled when he heard this, Mu Xiao and Xiao Mocheng had such a good relationship, how could he win it, he didn't believe that Jiang Mei didn't see this, it was nothing more than prevaricating herself, so she became even more angry, and said in an unkind tone: "I said Jiang Da Divine Doctor, you look at Mu Shizi's personality, even if Xiao Mocheng is the only one left on his side, he will always stand on his side, I have never moved this thought!" Don't think I don't know, you're making excuses, you just look at him differently than anyone else! Xiao Moheng held his breath and turned his head away from her.
Jiang Mei was inexplicable, even if she was different from Mu Xiao, what did it matter to him Xiao Moheng, what kind of anger did he have in this life. However, Jiang Mei obviously didn't have the heart to care about him, his Royal Highness was a dignified prince, and he was the commander of the three armies, so he was angry with himself for this little sesame matter, so let him be.
