Chapter 53: Sending Troops
Wang Yu soon issued an order to send troops.
In order to cover people's eyes, from the formulation of the plan to the final dispatch of troops, it did not take more than half an hour before and after.
That night, under the cover of night, the soldiers and horses went out of the city, sneaked all the way to Lengzhu Pass, and then rushed to the preset location in batches after dawn, striving to flank the front and rear, and break the enemy in one fell swoop.
Wang Lian, who escorted the gunpowder to Luoyan Prefecture, learned of the situation afterwards and immediately went to Wang Yu's marshal's mansion to inquire about the situation.
“…… Father, why is the army sent in such a hurry? actually sent the fourth brother-in-law to lead the troops deep behind enemy lines? The child knows that you have always looked down on the fourth brother-in-law, but now you have entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, isn't this pushing him into the fire pit? ”
Wang Lian was a fledgling, ignoring the rules of the army, and questioned her uncle Wang Yu in private.
Wang Yu was furious: "Bastard thing, this is your attitude when talking to your elders?" ”
Wang Lian was very unwilling: "The child only knows that you are narrow-minded, and you can obviously hold on, just wait for the Tubo soldiers to run out of food and retreat, but you have to send troops out of the city, and let the fourth brother-in-law go to the most dangerous place...... The fourth brother-in-law led the army, around the enemy for more than 50 miles, the mountains and rivers along the way are steep, if the Tubo people found out, together to besiege, he and his soldiers and horses will definitely not be able to retreat. ”
Wang Yu had the intention to punish this niece, but he was still ruthless, and his face was cold: "This is a strategic arrangement, and you can't afford to question it." ”
Wang Lian said sadly: "You just want the fourth brother-in-law to die early, so that the fourth sister can remarry!" I knew that the purpose of you letting the fourth brother-in-law accompany the army was to let him be defeated and die, so it was better for me to lead the troops to attack for him...... You are a father in vain. ”
Wang Yu was stunned, and before he had time to break out, Wang Lian had already walked out of the Shuai Mansion with indignation.
When she left, Bai Qiyuan walked out from behind the curtain, obviously the conversation between Wang Yu and his niece just now fell unmistakably to his ears.
The scandal in the family was leaked, Wang Yu was very helpless, lowered his head and said: "My fourth son-in-law is not low, but since the death of his in-laws, he has been in a slump, and his family is declining day by day...... I took him on the expedition because I wanted him to make military achievements, glorify his ancestors, and let my daughter raise her eyebrows...... Am I wrong? ”
Bai Qiyuan said: "There is nothing wrong with the festival marshal arranging it like this...... Someone must stand up and take responsibility for any dangerous errand, and your arrangement in this way shows the selflessness of the three armed forces, and the officers and men of the three armed forces are happy and convinced. If this battle is won, our army can take advantage of the situation to advance westward and recover the castle. ”
"Alas!"
Wang Yu sighed heavily, and was so angry about his nephew Wang Lian's accusation that his mood could not be calmed down for a long time.
……
……
The Xichuan War has nothing to do with Yang Yun.
But he was in charge of making gunpowder.
The gunpowder made in Shifang County has been sent to the front line, Wang Yu did not send a letter to urge the production, and the workshop in Chengdu has been running at a high speed since it opened, and has produced almost 10,000 catties of gunpowder so far.
As the storage warehouse was full, the Jiedu envoy slacked off, and the raw materials began to delay for no reason, and slowly the workshop was in a state of semi-shutdown.
On this day the king came to the workshop and told him what he knew.
“…… The Tubo people attacked the city of Luoyanzhou day and night, and the spells made by Gao were useless for the time being. Again...... The subsequent spells made by the Chengdu side were too late to be sent to the front line to participate in the war, so the officials on the Jiedu embassy side felt that there was no need to continue hoarding. ”
Yang Yunbao looked solemn, sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, unmoved by the news.
Wang Ji's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked expectantly, "What do you think about this battle?" ”
Yang Yun didn't open his eyes, but just shook his head slightly, indicating that the war had nothing to do with him.
Wang Ji was anxious: "You are a master, you must have different opinions from mortals...... Since the eighteenth year of Kaiyuan, Tubo suffered defeats in Hexi and Longyou, and begged for peace with the imperial court, and has been very low-key in recent years, but now it seems to know that the defense of several states in the west of Yazhou is empty, and he has made every effort to attack, putting on a posture of advancing without retreating...... Do they have any basis for not being able to rely on? Would you like to open your eyes and take a look? ”
Yang Yun said: "I'm just a cultivator, not an immortal, even if I'm really an immortal, I may not be able to see the situation hundreds of miles away." ”
Wang Ji said with a disgraced face: "I said that I should invite the master to go to the front line together, if you are here, this battle will definitely be won." ”
After Wang Ji found out that Yang Yun ignored him, he left the workshop stupidly, and happened to meet Han Qinglie when he left, and saw Han Qinglie saluting him, waving his hand to signal that he didn't need to be polite and went away.
Seeing this, Han Qinglie was very surprised.
Entering the room, Han Qinglie asked curiously, "Real person, do you also know the son of the Marshal's Mansion?" ”
Yang Yun asked, "Are you talking about Wang Gongzi?" Do you know who he is? ”
Han Qinglie said with a smile: "The lower officials are doing things in the Jieshuai Mansion, how can they not know the prince of the prince?" That is the third prince of the king, there are four sons in the marshal's mansion, and only two of them are born, among which is the third prince of the king. ”
Yang Yun didn't know the true identity of Wang Ji until now, the main reason was that he didn't bother to ask, he knew early on that this guy who was dedicated to being his disciple had a close relationship with Jiedu Wang Yu, but he didn't expect it to be one of Wang Yu's two sons-in-law.
Wang Yu, who served as the envoy of the two Jiannan Festivals in history, was not famous, neither a famous general, nor a talent for governing the country, and there was no talent among the descendants of the Wang family, Yang Yun was focused on how to find Yang Yuhuan in Luoyang, and never thought too much about Wang Yu's family affairs.
Yang Yun said: "Wang Gongzi and I only met by chance, and we are not familiar with each other. ”
Han Qinglie said with a smile: "You have great powers, it is not uncommon for you to know the third prince of the king, and you need more favor in the future, and say a few more kind words in front of the marshal and the third prince of the king." ”
Yang Yun nodded indifferently and asked, "Have the raw materials for making the spell been solved?" It's hard for a clever daughter-in-law to cook without rice, don't fail to complete the task when the time comes, and make the yamen blame me, right? ”
Han Qinglie said: "There is no need to be in a hurry, the war in Xichuan is in full swing, and the marshal is on the front line, and there is no new order to come down." The funds allocated before have been used up, and the lower official asked Sun to interview the envoy, and only said wait and see, don't be too anxious, you just rest for a few days and go out with Wang Sangongzi for a good time. ”
……
……
Yang Yun went from being employed to being unemployed.
But he didn't care at all, he was not so concerned about making gunpowder, and now the government can't take care of this part for the time being, and he is still happy to be idle.
On this day, Yang Yun returned home very early, just idle, and took the three Anlun sisters to the restaurant in the afternoon, wanting to confirm the sales of the wine with his own eyes.
Judging from the situation that he had secretly inquired into by Anlun and Yarou before, people had been coming to the restaurant to sell alcohol in the past few days, so he deliberately interrupted the supply.
When I arrived at the restaurant, I saw that it was very quiet inside, because it had not yet arrived, and there was no customer at the table in the restaurant, which seemed very deserted.
"Isn't this a little boy?"
When the shopkeeper Uncle Qi saw Yang Yun coming, he trotted all the way to the front, nodding at Yang Yun, so disrespectful.
Yang Yun said: "The shopkeeper, it's been a long time. ”
Uncle Qi glanced at An Lun and Yarou and said, "It's really been a long time...... Why haven't you sent someone to deliver wine these two days? ”
Yang Yun looked regretful: "Didn't you give back before that it didn't sell well?" So I'm not going to make any more wine...... Who will do the business that loses money! ”
Uncle Qi said, "Don't, that wine...... It's really a good wine, the first few days are really not good to sell, but four days came to a few officials, the little old man didn't say that there was wine in the store, they smelled the fragrance from afar, gave them a taste, all said that it was a rare wine in the world, with a long aftertaste, and immediately each made a few pots back...... As the news spread that there was good wine in the shop, more and more people came to buy wine these days, so they ...... It was out of stock yesterday. ”
"Oh."
Yang Yun nodded lightly.
Uncle Qi returned to the counter, quickly took a box from there, opened it and saw that it was full of copper coins, and said, "The money from selling wine, Xiao Lao'er left some of it, and the rest is here...... You can continue to deliver wine here in the future. ”
Yang Yun closed the lid of the box, pushed it back, and said, "Okay, the wine in front will be sold to you for free, and the money will be yours, but if you want me to continue to provide wine in the future, then you have to pay attention to it." ”
Uncle Qi said, "You say." ”
Yang Yun said: "I'm eight and you're two." ”
"Huh?"
Uncle Qi was very surprised when he heard it, his brain didn't turn a corner, and he always felt that he had lost.
Yang Yun smiled and said: "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, this wine is brewed by my ancestral ancient recipe, which is unique in this world, and I don't do anything if others want to do this business with me, that is, you and I are fated, so I choose to cooperate with you, I will bear the production cost, and you are only responsible for selling finished products." Twenty-eight accounts are just the beginning, and I may take down your restaurant in the future, and renovate it a little before opening it. If you're not happy, I'll find someone else to work with. ”
Uncle Qi looked embarrassed: "Little boy, take care of it, why don't you wait for the little old man to go back and discuss it with the family?" Tomorrow, tomorrow, how about we talk about it? ”
Yang Yun didn't mean to stay, and stood up: "Then it is agreed here tomorrow at this time, I won't eat here with you tonight, and I will leave." ”
