Chapter Forty-Nine: There are three ways to retreat and repay the old favor
"The king's summoning order, the daughter of Shen Yue, the former household servant, is gentle and virtuous, raised in the deep palace since childhood, won my heart, and is specially accepted as a righteous daughter, married to Xiao Wei, the king of southern Henan, and hereby Ming Zhao married the king of southern Henan on the twenty-third winter of the third year of Liang Datong."
Emperor Liang's summons instantly spread from Jiankang, the capital of Liang, to the south, and the king of southern Henan was the general who had been stationed in the south for generations.
"Gong, Gongzi" Yuan Peng read the summoning order of King Liang from front to Yuan Yu word for word, and in an instant, Yuan Yu spit out a mouthful of blood straight out of his mouth.
"Childe, wake up, wake up, military doctor, military doctor" Yuan Peng saw this, one hand supported Yuan Yu, and the other hand pressed Yuan Yu's people, in the military tent, Yuan Yu, who was wearing white and silver robes, had not yet been on the battlefield, and the whole person vomited half a catty of blood, so he couldn't afford to be sick.
The military doctor took the pulse of Yuan Yu for a long time, sighed and shook his head, Yuan Peng saw this, and grabbed the military doctor's hands in a panic and asked: "Military doctor, my son-in-law, can you heal?"
Seeing this, the military doctor did not answer him directly, but shook his head and sighed repeatedly. "The old man has been practicing medicine for many years, and he has never seen a person as depressed as Childe, this time the symptoms are in a state of impatience, Childe must not be hit by this trip, otherwise Hua Tuo will not be able to rejuvenate himself in the world."
After speaking, the military doctor left a prescription and handed it to Yuan Peng. When Yuan Peng heard this, the whole person was immediately surprised, he knew that his son-in-law was very affectionate, and this illness was undoubtedly because he heard that the girl from Suyou was going to marry someone else and couldn't afford to be sick, but his son-in-law was like this, although Er Zhuzhao sent Hou Mo Chen Chong to be the prison guard, in fact, it was nothing more than a jailer who monitored their every move.
The military doctor saw Yuan Peng standing in place, so he quickly snatched the medicine list from Yuan Peng's hand: "Having said this, you still can't understand it" As he said that, he handed the medicine list to a medicine boy named Shi Er, this child named Shi Er is a boy about ten years old with a double pill bun, and he is a medicine boy of the doctor. The doctor saw that Yuan Peng was completely confused after reading it, so he handed the medicine list to the medicine boy and said, "Shi'er, you go down to grab the medicine, and then send it to this son."
Shi Er took the medicine list and said, "No", then slowly saluted the doctor, and then left with the medicine list.
"You'er, don't, don't jump" In his sleep, Yuan Yu was awakened by the dream again. Yuan Peng saw that Yuan Song had already won, so he quickly ran to Yuan Yu's side, and then put his finger on Yuan Yu's forehead and probed, and found that Yuan Yu had a fever.
Yuan Peng slowly helped Yuan Yu sit up and said: "Childe, you finally woke up, do you know that you vomited blood yesterday and fainted, really frightened the slave, if Childe has three long and two short, how can the slave explain to the old housekeeper who died" Speaking of this, although there were not many people in Linhuai Palace, at least it was warm and lively, just after the change of Erzhurong Heyin, now that the people are withering, only he and Yuan Yu are left, thinking of this, I can't help but sigh.
"Yuan Peng, what time is it now" Yuan Yu's pale face could hardly see a trace of blood, but despite this, it was still as suffocating as a painting.
Yuan Peng looked outside the tent, and then said slowly: "Back to Gongzi, it's already Tingwu"
After hearing this, Yuan Yu said lightly at the corner of his mouth: "It's already noon, and You'er will marry Yu Nanhou in thirteen days" After Yuan Yu finished speaking, his eyes were full of unwillingness. In the past, when he left Southern Liang, he promised Emperor Wu of Liang that he would fly to Southern Liang without shooting, and if Great Wei and Liang Bingge were connected, he would retreat.
"Childe, according to the current itinerary, we will definitely arrive in the south tomorrow, and the battle with Nanliang is urgent, Childe still don't be so childlike, if we go back to Er Zhuzhao will not let us go if we are defeated this time"
Seeing this, Yuan Yu said slowly: "Our trip, no matter whether we win or lose, the Northern Wei Dynasty will never go back, if Shenger Zhu Zhao will give us poisonous wine, if defeated, we will be ordered to send to Nanliang" Speaking of this, Yuan Yu couldn't help but look at Yuan Peng, and then said to him: "If you hear about my death on the battlefield, cremate me, and then take part of my ashes to the river, and the other part, stay in Nanliang"
As for what happened after his death, in fact, Yuan Yu had already thought very clearly, and he was ready to die when he came to Nanliang this time. Now although everyone is unwilling, his mission has been achieved, since he was born in troubled times, he is not born by others, why not choose a chic ending to leave.
"Childe, no, let's escape!" Yuan Peng thought of this, he didn't know what to say about killing and sacrificing people, he didn't know much, one was better to die than to live, and the other was that ants were still stealing life. He has been accustomed to living a hard life since he was a child, and there is no moment when he doesn't feel that there is nothing more important than living, but Yuan Yu is different, in his heart, right and wrong are too important.
"Escape, where can we talk about, do you know the son of Gu Zhujun at the end of Shang, and his two sons, Boyi and Shuqi." Yuan Yu said At this time, Yuan Peng shook his head, obviously he didn't know about the ancients, seeing that Yuan Peng didn't know, Yuan Yu said slowly: "At the end of the Shang Dynasty, the monarch Guzhu Jun chose his second son Shu Qi as his heir during his lifetime. However, after the death of Guzhujun, Shu Qi felt that his brother Bo Yi was more capable of serving as the monarch than himself, so he gave way to Bo Yi. ”
When Yuan Peng heard this, he asked Yuan Yu: "Then what later!" Didn't the people of this country look for them? ”
Yuan Yu shook his head, and continued: "The Shang Dynasty since the king of Zhou, the country declined, it is not the past, and then the king of Zhou won the world, and fled to the mountains and forests of Shuqi, Boyi and the two heard that Xibohou Jichang won the hearts of the people, and was good at raising the old and young, and won the support of the people and entered the Zhou. Later, King Wen died, and King Wu succeeded to the throne and supported the army. Bo Yi and Shu Qi scoffed at the behavior of King Wu of Zhou, and swore not to be Zhou's subjects or eat Zhou's grain, so they lived in seclusion in Shouyang Mountain, and the two of them picked wild fruits for a living, and soon starved to death. Before they died, they still lamented that King Wu was fighting violence with violence. Although Boyi and Shuqi knew that the Shang Dynasty was exhausted, they still did not stick to the righteousness in their hearts, and later, later generations would rather die than eat Zhou Su's temperament for the admiration of later generations. ”
"So Gongzi is planning to emulate Shu Qi, Boyi?" When Yuan Peng heard this, he felt very bad. Immediately pleadingly hugged Yuan Yu's thigh and said, "Childe, don't!" The slave only knows that the son is filial, but in the world of great controversy, it is no longer as clear as the pre-Qin period."
In the face of Yuan Peng's crying and crying, Yuan Yu felt quite uncomfortable in his heart, in fact, he understood better than anyone else that the era of Emperor Wen had passed a long time ago, and now that military power is rampant, how can there be so much truth to talk about. He took the opportunity to look at Yuan Peng, Yuan Peng did not forget to touch his tears and said: "Childe, the loss of discipline is small, death and life are great, the son must not learn from that uncle Qi, Bo Yi's reckless behavior, even if the son does not think about himself, there are also the deceased princes and princesses underground, they give birth to sons, I hope that the sons can prosper their descendants, and the gospel will never hope that the sons will only respect the law of etiquette and be burned out by the sage books."
Yuan Yu slowly touched Yuan Peng's bun and said, "Mu Yuan! Do you know that it's not that I don't want to steal life now, but it's not the right time to be with me, it's just the right time to be born" After speaking, Yuan Yu looked out of the tent, it was the winter moon at this time, the first snow of the year had just fallen the day before yesterday, the snow in the mountains has not disappeared, and there is no early sunshine, the weather is cold and uncomfortable, fortunately, the supply of grain and grass is timely This avoids the crime of freezing and starvation, looking outside the tent, the soldiers are still wearing thin clothes in the Spring and Autumn Period, such a cold weather can keep out the cold only by bending thin clothes, it is really a joke.
I don't know when, Hou Mo Chen Chong has taken Murong Shaozong to Yuan Yu's handsome tent, after a simple salute, Murong Shaozong told Yuan Yu about the situation in the south, which can be regarded as a handover of work, after seeing that the two of them handed things over clearly, Hou Mo Chen Chong urged and asked: "I don't know how King Linhuai plans to send troops, General Murong Shaozong and I will try our best to cooperate with King Linhuai's campaign to go smoothly."
After Hou Mo Chen Chong finished speaking, he didn't forget to glance at Murong Shaozong, at first Murong Shaozong didn't understand why he changed his duty to guard the southern border to a scholar, but seeing Hou Mo Chen Chong urging Yuan Yu to send troops like this, he thought it must be Er Zhu Zhao's meaning, since this is the case, Murong Shaozong saw through it and pretended to be deaf and dumb.
Yuan Yu looked at it, and then said to Hou Mo Chen Chong: "Retreat three hundred miles"
After hearing the "retreat of three hundred miles", Hou Mo Chen Chong and Murong Shaozong suddenly looked surprised, they had never seen that general fight like this, and they were about to arrive at the southern border, so they actually said at this time that they would retreat three hundred miles, this kind of momentum would be a loser, and how to win in the later stage in the future.
Hearing this, Murong Shaozong immediately admonished and said, "King Linhuai, no! There are clouds in the book of war: those who are useful cannot be borrowed, those who cannot be used, ask for borrowing, and those who cannot be used are borrowed. I begged Tong Meng, and Tong Meng begged me. "Speaking of which, Murong Shaozong doesn't understand it very much, now that there is enough grain and grass and strong military strength, it can be said that he can take advantage of it, obviously there is a good time now, but he doesn't use it, but Mingjin withdraws his army, I really don't understand what Yuan Yu thinks in his heart." The prince uses soldiers like this, he really knows how to use soldiers."
Yuan Yu glanced at Murong Shaozong, knowing that he was very angry, and then said: "Ten plans for the soldier, believe and be safe, yin to plan, prepare and then move, don't make changes: just in the middle and soft outside." This is a hidden knife in the smile" Yuan Yu finished speaking, then sighed and said: "When the king stayed in Nanliang, the king of Liang was hospitable, and treated him with the courtesy of guests, I once said to the king of Liang when I left Liang, the geese flew Liang but did not shoot, if the next day and Liang fight, than to retreat and let it"
After hearing this, Murong Shaozong shook his sleeves angrily and said: "Retreat and retreat, the king of Linhuai is really generous, thirty miles is a house, three rooms and ninety miles, where the troops are marching and fighting, the most important thing is that the time and place are favorable, and now we arrived at the battlefield before the Liang army, we should be familiar with the terrain and set up camp, so as to wait for the time, you are good, before the war, then the dwarf is cut off, how will our army fight with the Liang army in the future" Seeing that Murong Shaozong was so angry, the general Dou Tai said: "Dare to ask the commander, the Liang army lives in Liangzhou and has a hundred sons pass as a natural danger, If our army drives directly into Liang, it is inevitable that the Liang army will not sneak attack our army camp, if the Liang army attacks, what should the commander do"
Seeing this, Yuan Yu knew that this trip was dangerous, in addition to having a bad relationship with Nanliang, who was once more cordial, and more importantly, dealing with the contradictions between the generals and pawns here. It can be described as exhausting at the moment, there is no way, since he planned to wade into this troubled water, he has already made plans to sacrifice his life.
"What General Dou Tai said is very true, but I will repair a letter to inform Emperor Liang of the date of the battle, this point, you can rest assured, before the battle, the Liang army will not attack our army"
Yuan Yu looked at Murong Shaozong, and then at the rest of the generals in the camp, from the eyes of these generals, Yuan Yu saw that they were reluctant, not to mention that he was a prince who had no power in the Northern Wei Dynasty, just based on this weak scholar, everyone couldn't understand why Er Zhuzhao wanted him to be the boss.
"I have made up my mind on this matter, and I will not discuss it" Seeing that the soldiers in the account were all dissatisfied, Yuan Yu could only move out of the tiger talisman, the tiger talisman is like a holy decree, and those who see the tiger talisman must act in accordance with the orders of the generals.
Seeing this, Murong Shaozong and the others all shook their heads helplessly and said, "That's it, that's it, you're the boss, you have the final say."
After hearing this, Dou Tai instantly waved his sleeves and said angrily: "How can the matter of fighting a war be a child's play?" After speaking, he glanced at Yuan Yu and said: "I really don't know how the general would send a weak scholar to deal with Yu Liang's matter in a daze" After speaking, Dou Tai waved his sleeves and left.
Seeing this, Murong Shaozong also reported ten with both hands, and left with a gesture of resignation. In an instant, the military tent was empty, and Yuan Peng walked up to Yuan Yu and said, "Childe, why does Childe have to suffer such anger here?"
"That's it, stand down" After speaking, Yuan Yu waved his hand and motioned for Yuan Peng to retreat...
Following
Yuan Yu and the others really set up camp ninety miles away in the south, and in the early morning, Yuan Yu and Murong Shaozong inspected the border together, and in the morning, a few geese flew slowly. Hou Mo Chen Chong looked at Yuan Yu and said: "This wild goose is the most ruthless, this northern country has the grace to nurture him, but this winter still flies to the south, and now it is wandering between the north and the south, such a disloyal goose, I think an arrow is shot down, it is best to use it for wine" After that, he glanced at Yuan Yu with his spare eyes, and Yuan Yu's face was really ugly at this moment.
Seeing this, Yuan Yu didn't say anything, but quietly listened to Dou Tai and the others talking. Dou Tai saw that Yuan Yu was silent, so he immediately took a bow and shot an arrow and said to the geese wandering in the trees: "The first time King Linhuai lived in the military camp, life in the army was too boring, so I will change the taste for the prince, and taste what is the difference between the wild geese in the south and the time in the north."
Dou Tai said and shot an arrow, seeing that his arrow was about to shoot into the wild goose flying in the air, Yuan Yu immediately reached out and snatched the bow and arrow from Yuan Peng's hand, only to see that the arrow flew in an instant, and shot the arrow shot by Dou Tai in half. Dou Tai always thought that Yuan Yu was just a weak scholar, but now after reading it, he was instantly stunned and didn't know what to do.
Yuan Yu knew that now he didn't need to be a little forbearing, so he patted Dou Tai on the shoulder and walked away, Yuan Peng saw this, walked to Dou Tai and couldn't help but despise him a little, and then quickly chased Yuan Yu: "Childe, childe, you wait for me!" While walking, Yuan Peng couldn't help but say excitedly: "Childe! Let me tell you, the arrow you just now is really handsome, there is a sassy and a hatred, you didn't even see Dou Tai's face at that time, you were all angry, how good-looking it is"
Seeing this, Yuan Yu didn't feel any difference because of the length of an arrow, but now, speaking by example, he felt that he was like an arrow on a full bow now, and he had to send it.
Yuan Yu's letter soon reached Emperor Liang, and Emperor Liang saw Yuan Yu's handwriting on the morning of the second day
"Newspaper~~~ Liangzhou Emergency"
The letter reached the Liang court step by step, Xiao Yan sat on the throne, looked at the little guy who sent the letter and said, "Submit it"
Seeing this, Chen Jiansun slowly walked down the steps to get the letter in the hand of the letter, and then walked quickly to Emperor Liang in small steps and handed the letter to Emperor Liang. "Your Majesty"
Emperor Liang opened the letter, and inside was a thank you letter written by Yuan Yu to him:
King Liang's personal enlightenment: In the past, Yu was exiled to the Southern Dynasty, and he thanked King Liang for entertaining his relatives and friends. Now the north and the south are in turmoil, Yu was named the marshal of the southern border, grateful for the Liang King in the Liang Shi treated Yu diligently, and could not bear to see the soldiers of the two countries. However, the war is ruthless, in the past, there were cases of Jin Wengong thanking Chu for helping each other to retreat, and if Wen is not talented today, he will also follow the example of Wen Gong to retreat and retreat to repay the Liang King's containment.
After Emperor Liang read Yuan Yu's letter, he couldn't help but feel like he was crying, he covered his face and wiped his tears, and said: "Wen Ruocheng doesn't deceive me, Cheng doesn't deceive me!" Seeing Emperor Liang so sad, Chen Jiansun immediately went over to support Emperor Liang and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty's courtiers are still waiting for something to report, Your Majesty is so easy to be sad, it is my Liang's blessing!" Daliang has such a benevolent emperor, which is the blessing of all the people and the blessing of the community."
Chen Jiansun slowly sat back on the golden throne of the court with Emperor Wu of Liang in his arms, Xiao Yan saw this, and said in confusion: "Jiansun! Do you say that it is right or wrong for me to marry Xiao Wei, the king of southern Henan! ”
Chen Jiansun saw that Xiao Yan was shaking now, so he immediately stabilized the army's heart and said: "Your Majesty, this edict has been issued, and the daughter of the household department Shangshu Su You married Xiao Wei, the king of southern Henan, is already known to the world, and it is a sure thing, Your Majesty should not hesitate anymore."
"Can't this matter be changed?" Xiao Yan said this, he still preferred Yuan Yu a little in his heart, but now that the edict is below, even he can't make changes.
Seeing this, Chen Jiansun said to Xiao Yan: "Your Majesty, this matter is not impossible to change, but it is a little difficult" Chen Jiansun suddenly thought of a plan, but he felt that it was too bad and he didn't want to make a move. Seeing that Emperor Liang was so embarrassed, he said: "Although Your Majesty promised to let the daughter of Shen Yue, the head of the household department, marry the king of southern Henan, but now the southern border is pressing, this retrospective tour is entangled with the king of Linhuai, the marshal of the Northern Wei Dynasty, why not suspend the marriage for three days, if the king of southern Henan wins, this Yuan Yu will naturally die on the battlefield, if Yuan Yu wins, why not be an adult." Naturally, this matter can't be said by Your Majesty, the Suyou girl was originally reluctant, so I asked Xiao Shunzi to run this trip for the old slave, and pass on His Majesty's meaning to the Suyou girl, I believe that the Suyou girl is a smart person, and naturally understands Your Majesty's meaning."
"You! Just do as you say" Emperor Liang pointed to Chen Jiansun's nose and teased him knowingly, and then instantly smiled very happily.
Three days later, Su You received an edict from Emperor Liang, and naturally understood what Emperor Liang meant.
"The daughter of the criminal minister, Su You Xie Zhu Longen" After Su You knelt down to thank him, he said to the accompanying Shun father-in-law: "Can you trouble my father-in-law to pass it on for me, before the wedding, the courtiers will not enter the Baizi Pass, and all marriage leave matters will be exempted."
"This" Xiao Shunzi's father-in-law suddenly felt embarrassed after listening to Su You's request, to be honest, this kind of thing, he is really difficult to do. Su You saw the reluctance on the face of Shun's father-in-law, so he took out the dowry silver that Emperor Liang rewarded her before the wedding and stuffed it to Shun's father-in-law. "Okay, our family is also risking our lives to help you once" After Xiao Shunzi received the silver two, he asked the entire marriage team to stop outside Baizi Pass. They found an inn and stayed for ten days.
When the Marquis of Henan knew that the Marquis of Henan was going to marry Su You, the entire palace was prepared with lights when Emperor Liang was summoned, perhaps Su You didn't know that she had seen Xiao Wei, the Marquis of Henan in the palace when she was very young, and Xiao Wei worked very hard since then, striving to marry her one day if Emperor Liang was reused. But for Su You, Yu Nanhou is just a stranger who has heard the name and looks like a murderous god.
"What are you talking about, that's what Madame said" Hearing that the tooth maid came to deliver the message, Xiao Xuan, the Marquis of Southern Henan, played with the messenger in disbelief.
"Master Hou, Madame is saying that the wedding date will be delayed by three days, and before the wedding, she will never step into the Baizi Pass for half a step" Yawu passed the letter again.
After Xiao Wei listened, the whole person instantly lost and said, "Go down"
The housekeeper saw that Xiao Wei was so depressed, so he came over and said to Xiao Wei: "Master Hou, Mrs. is not going to enter Baizi Pass, should Master Hou send troops to garrison nearby, this Northern Wei garrison is less than ninety miles away from Baizi Pass, and the old slave is afraid that the Wei army will hold Mrs. hostage to blackmail the prince."
Xiao Wei sighed and said, "Yes! The king is also worried about this" and said to the housekeeper: "Uncle Wen, you personally select some capable soldiers to protect your wife, and prepare some things to protect you from the cold weather now."
"Nuo" The old housekeeper retreated
"Ma'am..."
Before the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion of Henan could say anything, Su You was rejected by the soldiers of the Hou Mansion of Henan together with the cold things sent by the Hou Mansion of South Henan, and the old housekeeper had to return to the Hou Mansion of South Henan by the same way when he saw this.
"What do you say, Madame won't accept it all" Xiao Wei saw the old housekeeper come back with a disgraced face, and he didn't know what to do. "I'll persuade him," said Xiao Wei, who planned to go out of the house to find Su You.
Before Xiao Wei could leave, the old butler rushed to Xiao Wei and stopped him with open arms, and said nervously, "Young master, stay here."
"Uncle Wen, don't stop me, I'm going to find You'er to make it clear"
The old housekeeper said: "Young master, not to mention that men and women meet before the wedding, don't say that the Wei soldiers outside the Baizi Pass are closely guarded, and the young master is here in case there is a good one, the old lady's side, how can the old slave explain"
