Volume 2 Against the Water Chapter 68 The Great Wall Rises with Smoke
Time goes back to more than half a month ago.
The Great Wall, which is a semi-abandoned fortress.
The Great Wall was built hundreds of years ago and has always been the dividing line between the Central Plains Dynasty and the Grassland Dynasty. In the early days of the former Qin, the Great Wall was the dividing line between the former Qin and the Northern Dynasties.
In the twelfth year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, the 150,000 troops of the former Qin Dynasty went out of the Great Wall, and the mighty and mighty dynasty was wiped out in one fell swoop. The homeland of the country is divided into two parts, east and west, and subdivided into seven counties. Since then, both inside and outside the Great Wall have been Qin soil. This majestic fortress defense line has lost its original role.
The second prince, Fu Hui, is the guard of the Great Wall, which is actually an idle job, nothing more than studying and practicing martial arts in this semi-abandoned fortress every day, and cultivating one's self. The soldiers of the Great Wall Guards are only randomly recruited young and strong, not elite, and their main duty is to manage the security of the surrounding small towns.
It was November 15th.
Three groups of uninvited guests came to the Great Wall on this day.
The first batch was the Qincha from Chang'an City, and the will of the Qin Emperor was transmitted to Chang'an, so that Yang Yuhang, the imperial historian, went to the Taishou Mansion in the clouds to investigate the authenticity of Tuoba Jue's conspiracy, and Yang Yuhang traveled through the Great Wall today.
The second group was a tall horse, and on the back of the horse sat a little boy covered in blood, and the young man carried a huge blue and red blade larger than his body.
The third group was the rolling iron cavalry, they came to the foot of the Great Wall, they wore the armor of the Qin army, but only under the banner of "Dugu". According to the law of Qin, when the army is outside, the Great Qin Dragon Banner will be beaten, and those who violate the order are serious crimes.
"Yang Yushi, how is the battle situation on the front line?"
Fu Hui is about twenty years old, wearing a suit of armor, sword eyebrows and star peaks, heroic and extraordinary.
"Second Highness, rest assured, Your Majesty is wise and martial, and has his own heavenly blessing. The battle situation on the front line has stabilized, and the imperial court is planning a counterattack against the Nanban. ”
"That's very good. The matter of investigating the case, there is no need to rush for a while, Yang Yushi will live first today, so that the lonely chat can do the friendship of the landlord. ”
Fu Hui received Yang Yuhang first, and after some exchanges, Fu Hui did not realize the seriousness of the matter, he planned to stay with Yang Yushi for a day, and then set off tomorrow.
Then the bloody tall horse also came to the Great Wall, and the soldier brought the young man with the giant blade to Fu Hui - the young man showed the token of the Moxi Governor's Mansion and wanted to see the second prince, but the soldier did not dare to stop him.
So Fu Hui knew everything that was happening in the clouds.
"Yang Yushi, it seems that you don't need to go to the clouds to investigate."
Fu Hui shook his head at Yang Yuhang and said with a wry smile.
Yang Yuhang slapped the table angrily and said angrily: "These chaotic ministers and thieves are in vain as sons of men!" ”
After Liu Bobo explained the situation clearly, he fainted with the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow in his arms.
The military doctor checked his pulse and sighed: "This child has not closed his eyes for at least seven days." It's hard to imagine that he was able to escape all the way from the clouds to the Great Wall! ”
Fu Hui frowned and said solemnly: "This is after Zhongliang, you must treat it with your heart!" ”
Then, the sound of horses' hooves rolled in, and another soldier came to report, and the cavalry led by Dugu Kuren, the governor of Modong, appeared at the foot of the Great Wall.
A general advised: "Your Highness, the one who comes is not good, it is better to... Fall back? ”
Fu Hui shouted angrily: "The eldest brother followed his father to the south, and the third brother supervised the country in Beijing, Lone's brother and brother can contribute to the country, don't you dare to defend even a Great Wall?" ”
The general did not dare to persuade again, and buried his head.
Fu Hui was silent for a moment, smiled at Yang Yuhang, and said, "Yang Yushi, do you dare to go out with Gu to have a look?" ”
Yang Yuhang smiled: "Why don't you dare!" ”
The Great Wall is tall, undulating, and stretches for thousands of miles.
Dugu Kuren rode on horseback, squinted, and when he saw someone coming from the city tower, he arched his hand and said loudly: "Old minister Dugu Kuren, I have seen the Second Highness." ”
Fu Hui said lightly: "Dugu is the governor of the pastor and guards one side, and he has the responsibility of guarding the land, so he should not leave Modong lightly." Led the troops to the Great Wall today, I don't know what happened? ”
Dugu Kuren said with a smile: "The old minister heard that His Majesty mistakenly believed in the traitorous minister, and actually put Yunzhong Taishou Tuoba Jue in prison, I don't know if His Highness knows about this?" ”
Fu Hui sneered: "I don't know! ”
"I would like to ask Your Royal Highness to go up to your majesty and present your grievances, so that Tuoba Taishou can settle his grievances and return to the clouds to govern. You can't live without Tuoba Taishou in the clouds! Dugu Kuren said with a chuckle.
Yang Yuhang, who was beside Fu Hui, couldn't help it, he said angrily: "You are presumptuous! His Royal Highness said that he didn't know about it, and he didn't know if Tuoba Jue was wronged, and how to show his grievances for him! ”
Dugu Kuren said sharply: "Who are you, the old man is talking to His Royal Highness, do you have the right to interject?" ”
Yang Yuhang said solemnly: "This official is Yang Yuhang, the imperial history!" ”
"Oh, Goshi?" Dugu Kuren snorted coldly: "It's not good for Yushi to stay in the capital, what are you doing on the Great Wall!" ”
Yang Yuhang reprimanded: "This official does things, do I need to explain to you!" ”
Dugu Kuren no longer paid attention to Yang Yuhang, he looked at Fu Hui: "What the old minister said before, did His Highness understand it?" ”
Fu Hui narrowed his eyes and said, "What if Lone doesn't go up for you?" ”
Dugu Kuren spread his hands quite scoundrelly, and said: "Tuoba is too protective and loves the people like a son, don't say that a county in the clouds, even if the entire Modong and the entire outside the Saiwai are all thought of by everyone." If His Highness insists on refusing to avenge Tuoba Taishou, I am afraid that it will provoke the anger of the public! ”
Hua Chenglai was beside Dugu Kuren, and he interjected with a wicked smile: "If Tuoba Taishou has a grievance and can't be avenged, I'm afraid that the soldiers outside the Saiwai will cross the Great Wall and go south in person to find His Majesty to present his feelings in person." ”
The cavalry behind Dugu Kuren shouted at this moment: "Please ask Your Royal Highness to go to the court and avenge Tuoba Taishou!" ”
The cry was as violent as a landslide, and everyone on the Great Wall turned pale.
Liu Bobo is right, Dugu Kuren is really the opposite, he wants to attack the Great Wall as a bargaining chip, and he wants to blackmail the imperial court to release Tuobaju! The so-called redress of grievances is nothing more than asking Fu Hui to inform the court of this matter.
If Fu Hui had notified, the imperial court might have chosen to compromise; If Fu Hui doesn't inform, Dugu Kuren will attack the Great Wall!
Fu Hui turned his head and asked a general beside him in a low voice: "How many troops can the states and counties near the Great Wall gather at most?" ”
The general smiled bitterly and said: "Back to Your Highness, if it is usual, it is not a problem to urgently gather 100,000 soldiers and horses." But this time is different from the past, His Majesty recruited troops once when he marched south, and when he was defeated in the battle of Weishui, he recruited troops again to go south to King Qin. At this moment, the states and counties around the Great Wall are no longer able to draw troops! ”
The surrounding states and counties could not draw troops, which meant that Fu Hui could only use the thousands of Great Wall guards in his hands. And the Dugu Army outside, hastily estimated, at least tens of thousands!
How can this battle be fought!
"Mr. Lone can't put the people of countless states and counties near the Great Wall in danger for the sake of blood!"
Fu Hui thought about it, but finally sighed, and shouted to Dugu Kuren: "Dugu Dudu's meaning, Lone will immediately tell his father." Before the approval of the imperial court, I hope that the Dugu Governor will not enter the Great Wall! ”
Dugu Kuren said with a smile: "Since this is the case, the old minister thanked His Highness." Before the court replied, the old minister must not cross the thunder pool by half a step! ”
The generals of the Great Wall were extremely angry, but they also knew that Fu Hui was helpless. Delay for some time, at least you can arrange for the nearby people to evacuate first. If the court does not agree to release Tuoba, it will be a big deal to fight with that Dugu Kuren when the time comes, and it will be great to sacrifice his life for the country!
"Let's go!" Fu Hui smiled bitterly and said to Yang Yuhang: "Yang Yushi, you quickly take Liu Dudu's widow south, report everything here to the court, and see how the court chooses." ”
Yang Yuhang also smiled wryly and nodded in response.
