Chapter 392: Shame
Shen Ruzhan got into the carriage that came to greet her, didn't say a word to Li Qi and them, went her own way, and ignored others.
She also knew that she was going to Jizhou, and she must know the way, so she didn't plan to follow Li Qi and their convoy, so she set off first.
Such a move not only stunned Li Qi and them, but even Shen Ruyun and them were also stunned, she only knew that her sister would leave Yunyin Mountain every year, and she didn't know what she was going to do.
Asked once, Shen Ruzhan only said that she had done some business, but she didn't think that there should be someone waiting for her outside Yunyin Mountain, and she could call at any time.
Li Qi and Shen Ruyun and others said goodbye, because Shen Ruzhan said that there was no need for others to go, she was enough alone, so this also broke the minds of many little girls to go out and take a look.
It's comfortable, it's peaceful, there's no danger here, but some of them want to know what it's like outside.
If they really go for a trip, it won't be long before they start to miss the days of Yunyin Mountain.
After coming out of the range of the Cloud Hidden Mountain, he walked for more than two days before going to the official road, and when he reached an intersection, Shen Ruzhan's carriage in front of him stopped.
She stopped, and Li Qi and their team also stopped.
Li Qi got out of the car and looked ahead, and saw a team of fifty or sixty people waiting at the intersection in front of him.
The equipment on these men is excellent, and it seems that they are better than Li Qi's team.
Shen Ruzhan didn't get out of the car, those men saw the carriage coming, they all got off their horses and waited on the side of the road, the curtains of the car were opened, and everyone bowed down neatly.
Shen Ruzhan looked at those people and frowned slightly.
"Only you?"
One of the men replied with a guilty face: "Back to the east house, the matter was in a hurry, so I can only urgently transfer the good hands from the two nearby counties, but my subordinates have already sent people to Liangzhou to transfer people, hurry up and rush over, and it will not be later than us to Jizhou." ”
Shen Ruzhan nodded and ordered: "Send a few more people to Liangzhou, transfer the restaurants in several branches in Liangzhou, and rush to Jizhou as soon as possible. ”
The man at the head immediately lowered his head and said, "My subordinates will arrange it immediately." ”
He straightened up and ordered: "Liu Ying, you take two people to Liangzhou, and invite Langzhong to Jizhou according to the owner's instructions." ”
"Yes!"
The man answered, and immediately took the two men and rode away, without the slightest delay, as if he were carrying out a military order.
Shen Ruzhan instructed in a flat tone: "Lu Qingluan, you take ten people to stay behind to protect you, and the others go to the front to explore the way and arrange your accommodation." ”
"Yes!"
The man at the head called the names of the ten people and left, and the others immediately turned over their horses and rushed out, and soon disappeared into the distance.
A middle-aged man named Lu Qingluan took ten people to escort the carriage, and Shen Ruzhan's team set off again.
Li Qi stood there and watched, thinking that this sister was absolutely extraordinary, and it was really impressive to be able to train her subordinates so efficiently.
Tang Pidi smiled and said, "The people in Yunyin Mountain always seem to be able to make people unexpected. ”
Li Qi hummed and waved his hand to signal the team to follow.
There was no more mess along the way, and the return was extremely smooth without a trace of waves.
When Li Qi and the others passed through the Xiaoyao Kingdom, Tang Pidi took a team of people to the Xiaoyao Kingdom to get gold and silver, and loaded them back with three carts.
These gold and silver seem to be enough for Li Qi and the people on the Nalan grassland to buy horses, but it is not yet time.
With so many war horses, if they are brought back to Jizhou, it will immediately cause an uproar, and I don't know how many people will be staring.
Therefore, Li Qi and Tang Pidi discussed it before, when Jizhou was already the territory of the Yanshan camp, and Tang Pidi would go to see Bori Ti Chena again.
When crossing the Nalan grassland, the herdsmen saw Li Qi and them
The team immediately went to report to Bo Zhi Ti Chi Na that he knew, because Bo Zhi Ti Chi had already ordered that Tang should report immediately when their team returned.
Li Qi and they walked for two days, and Bori Ti Chi came with cavalry to greet them, and personally escorted Li Qi and them out of the grassland.
At the same time, on the north bank of the Nanping River.
Prince Yu Yang Qixing sat in the big tent, his face was pale, and he looked at the map in front of him in a daze for a long time.
The generals in the big tent were silent one by one, and no one dared to speak, not even to come out.
Jizhou Jiedu made Zeng Ling glance at Prince Yu cautiously, and wanted to persuade him, but he finally endured it.
After losing consecutive battles, he has lost 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers, and the grain and grass are urgent.
He had persuaded Prince Yu before to divide his troops to capture Qingzhou, but Prince Yu said that Qingzhou was far away and it was not easy to attack, so it was better to go all out to conquer Yuzhou.
Originally, when Prince Yu first arrived here, he was still in high spirits, because Zeng Ling told him that he had sent someone to persuade Meng Kedi, the general of Anyang Prefecture, that as long as the prince's army arrived, Meng Kedi would sacrifice Anyang.
But because of this incident, Prince Yu almost died.
Meng Kedi, the general of Anyang Prefecture, pretended to greet him outside the city gate, and took a group of officials from Anyang Prefecture to show his sincerity, and those who went out of the city to greet Prince Yu were all civil officials, and all the generals were waiting in the city.
Meng Kedi sent someone to tell Prince Yu that he brought the seal of Anyang Prefecture to welcome the arrival of the prince at the city gate.
Prince Yu was not very relieved, so on the agreed day, he sent someone to the gate of Anyang Prefecture to take a look.
The officials sent found that Meng Kedi really did not break his promise, and took all the civil officials to wait for Prince Yu three miles outside the city gate, and those people did not bring weapons.
Meng Kedi didn't have a single soldier around him, only these hundred and ten officials, large and small, as well as some squires and prominent clans in the city, adding up to about three or five hundred.
So the official immediately reported to Prince Yu, and Prince Yu came over with the team, and as soon as they met, Meng Kedi immediately led everyone to kneel and salute.
In order to show his affinity, Prince Yu dismounted and went to help Meng Kedi, who would have thought that the seal box held by Meng Kedi contained a dagger.
Meng Kedi stabbed Prince Yu in the heart, fortunately, Prince Yu wore soft armor in order to insure, although this knife even pierced a gap in the soft armor, but it saved his life.
Prince Yu was furious and ordered the killing, and as a result, the civil officials and squires were all disguised as Meng Kedi's cronies, and they hid their weapons in the sleeves of their wide robes.
After a fight, although Prince Yu's people killed more than 300 people and almost killed Meng Kedi's people, Meng Kedi escaped.
After he ran back to Anyang Prefecture, he ordered to defend to the death, and in a fit of rage, Prince Yu ordered a fierce attack, but it has been attacked for more than a month now, and there is no progress.
Anyang Prefecture is like a wall blocking Prince Yu's big dream road, or a copper wall, it can't be broken down at all, and it can't be bypassed.
It was at this time that Prince Yu learned the news that the old emperor had already died, and the crown prince Yang Jing had already ascended the throne.
This news made Prince Yu's anger to the extreme, and he was ashamed to the extreme.
"Zeng Ling."
Prince Yu suddenly screamed.
Jizhou Jiedu envoy Zeng Ling hurriedly came out of the ranks, leaned over and said, "Lord Wang, your subordinates are here." ”
Prince Yu frowned and said, "You don't plan to explain?" ”
He looked at Zeng Ling, and said in a cold voice: "I haven't blamed you for the matter of Anyang Prefecture, Meng Kedi is a villain, scheming, I only dealt with the people you sent to see Meng Kedi, have you ever been blamed?" ”
Zeng Ling was silent for a moment, then knelt down with his robe.
He bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty is guilty." ”
Prince Yu snorted, his face becoming more and more unkind.
"Just one sentence of guilt? I don't blame you for the affairs of Anyang Prefecture, it's the people below who are not doing well, but what about the capital? ”
His voice suddenly sharpened.
"I've also handed over the affairs of the capital to you, Yang Jing, that yellow-mouthed kid, has been on the throne for more than half a year, why haven't any of your people come back to report!"
Zeng Ling knelt there with his head down, his face constantly changing.
The affairs of the capital are obviously controlled by Prince Yu himself, and the plates arranged to go to the capital are also Prince Yu's people.
He never wanted people to interfere, and he didn't even want to talk to Zeng Ling about the affairs of the capital, not because he was afraid that someone would harm him.
But now they are all pushing down Zeng Ling's head, how can Zeng Ling not be angry?
He thought carefully for a moment and understood what Prince Yu meant, and Prince Yu couldn't hold it on his face.
Xingshi mobilized the crowd to come, but failed to take an Anyang Prefecture for more than a month, lost tens of thousands of soldiers, demoralized, and the grain and grass were in a hurry.
That's it, he raised troops under the banner of the Qing monarch, and now he knows that the old emperor has died a long time ago, Liu Chongxin is also dead, and the new emperor is on the throne, what name does he send troops?
If you continue to fight, you won't even have a reasonable name.
With such a shame, Prince Yu felt that his face was ugly, and now the people in the camp may not know how many people are secretly calling him an idiot.
If he didn't find someone to take over this infamy, how would he lead the troops and face the officials under him.
"Your Majesty, guilty!"
Zeng Ling kowtowed again.
Seeing that he did not argue, Prince Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, so he ordered: "I have high hopes for you and I am convinced, but you are so hasty and reckless that you cannot go unpunished. ”
He pondered for a moment and then said, "Come on, pull him out and beat him with twenty sticks." ”
Everyone didn't dare to move easily, it was Zeng Ling who was fighting, and the prince's soldiers were the Jizhou army, how would this matter end?
Zeng Ling said: "Your Majesty's sins are unforgivable, and I am willing to receive punishment." ”
Seeing that no one was moving, he said in a deep voice, "Don't do it yet?" ”
The soldiers outside the door looked at each other, and a few people came over to help Zeng Ling, who turned around and went outside the big tent.
How could those soldiers really beat him, just for show, twenty military sticks fell lightly, and even skin wounds were not left.
Prince Yu also found an excuse at this time and pushed the matter to Zeng Ling, he pretended to be still angry, got up and brushed his sleeves away.
Outside the military tent, after being beaten with twenty military sticks, Zeng Ling got up and looked at Prince Yu, who was already far away, and something very complicated in his eyes flashed.
Prince Yu left, and a group of officials and generals all came out and gathered around Zeng Ling.
Prince Yu in the distance glanced back, his face was pale, his scalp was a little numb, and his blood was surging.
He snorted and quickened his pace to leave.
At this time, a soldier flew to report that Cui Yanlai, the envoy of Qingzhou Jiedu, had come from the flank with an army of 150,000 and had arrived in the east of Anyang Prefecture.
Zeng Ling panicked after hearing this military report, Prince Yu almost killed the Cui family, how could Cui Yanlai give up if he didn't take revenge?
Anyang Prefecture came with 150,000 reinforcements, and Yuzhou Jiedu made Liu Li always hold the south bank of the Nanping River without counterattacking, and he should be waiting for Cui Yanlai's army to arrive.
Before, the Qingzhou army was newly defeated, and there was no grain and grass, so it didn't come over immediately to fight with the Yuzhou army left and right, but now that it's here, it seems that the grain and grass are no longer worried.
Cui Yan is here, and Liu Li's Yuzhou army is also about to counterattack north.
I am afraid that there is no chance of winning this battle.
Zeng Ling was silent for a moment, and immediately ordered: "Order the whole army to return to Jizhou, go and pack it now, I will go and ask to see the prince." ”
He hurried towards Prince Yu, as if he had just been beaten.
Everyone ran out to pack their things and prepare to run, they knew that this battle would be lost, but they never thought that the next days would be so sad.
