Chapter 16: A Letter from Home
"What?"
"Chu Yu defeated the 30,000 army of the Lan Yu Kingdom?"
"Killed the enemy general Chen Ying and burned down the enemy camp?"
In the splendid city of Chudu, in the palace, the regent Chu Yuan looked at the person in front of him in surprise.
The man ran all the way into the palace, and at this time raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead, and said: "Seven days have passed since that battle, and when the messenger sent back the news, the Duke of Yuguo had already erected a big banner and started recruiting troops at Yumen Pass!" ”
Chu Yuan asked again, "Why did he start a war with Lan Yuguo?" ”
The man said: "His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince said that the envoy of the Lanyu Kingdom, Kong Yin, and the general Hu Fang, wanted to assassinate him, but he was forced to fight back, and later realized the ambition of the wolf son of the Lanyu Kingdom, so fortunately he went to war directly. ”
Chu Yuan sat down on the chair and muttered, "This kid ......"
A few days later, Chu Yuan received the good news from Chu Yuqing, and his brows furrowed after reading it.
In the good news, Chu Yuqing explained in detail the process of Kong Yin and Hu Fang's "assassination" of himself, of course, he made it up.
Then he said that Lanyu was a small country, but he relied on Da Chu to take care of them, so he began to kick his nose in the face, he killed the third brother Chu Yang before, and now he wants to kill himself, which is simply too deceitful.
In the end, he told Chu Yuan that he would not come back, he would train his troops at Yumen Pass, and continue to confront Lan Yuguo, if the other party dared to attack, not only would he not mind going to war with him, but he would even destroy Lan Yuguo.
At this time, Chu Yuan realized that he asked Chu Yuqing to go to peace talks, maybe it was a wrong move!
Soon, he received a report again, Chu Yuqing not only played a good news, but also sent a "family letter" to the king of Chu, which had been delivered to the king of Chu at this moment.
Upon learning of this, Chu Yuan immediately got up and went to Tingyu Pavilion, he had to know what Chu Yuqing had written in his letter to the King of Chu.
"Brother Wang is here?"
Seeing Chu Yuan coming, the King of Chu said with a smile, and then handed him the letter in his hand.
"This is a letter that Yu'er just sent from Yumen Pass, you can also see, Yu'er has really grown up!"
After Chu Yuan saluted, he took the letter with both hands, and his body began to tremble slightly.
——
The father is well, and the son is far away in Xizhou, and he has been thinking about his father for a long time.
However, the ambition of the wolf son of Lan Yuguo actually wanted to assassinate Erchen, so that the guards around him tried their best to protect it, so as to avoid being poisoned, it is tolerable, which is unbearable, Lan Yuguo has bullied my Dachu so much, and Erchen must avenge this arrow.
I have led my army to defeat the army of Lan Yuguo, and although I have suffered heavy casualties, I have won anyway.
Next, Erchen will recruit and train troops at Yumen Pass, sweeping away the decline of the past, if Lan Yuguo still dares to attack, it will inevitably make him have no return!
The father does not have to worry about the safety of his son, since he has decided to fight with Lan Yuguo, his son has already put life and death aside.
Witnessing the cruelty of the battlefield, the sons felt something, and wrote two poems to send to their father.
One of them:
Why don't you die outside the Yumen Pass, the rice mountain is not afraid of poverty.
The spring urn has become a flower and is ready to move, and there is nothing in the chest.
Second:
Grape wine luminous glass, want to drink pipa immediately urge.
Drunk and lying on the battlefield, how many people came back to fight in ancient times?
The son has been raised by his father for many years, and he can't repay it, but now he sees Da Chu so weak, and he is not angry in his heart, but also very sad.
Now to repay the country with this body, if unfortunately died in battle, please don't grieve, this is the choice made by the son, although there is no regret about death!
——
Chu Yuqing's "family letter", strictly speaking, is actually just to express a central idea, that is, I want to repay my father, and my father doesn't have to worry about me.
The strong father-son love made the King of Chu, a sentimental person, really moved, coupled with a poem "Yexing" by Lu You and a poem "Liangzhou Ci" by Wang Han, a poet from the Tang Dynasty, which made the King of Chu, a person who loves poetry, very excited, and drank several glasses of wine and shouted "good poetry"!
But after Chu Yuan read it, he only read one meaning, that is......
Lao Tzu is not coming back!
Seeing the inexplicable look of joy and inexplicability of the King of Chu, a strong sense of crisis emerged in his heart, and the plan had changed!
Chu Yuan immediately said: "Your Majesty, Yu'er is acting like this, it is inevitably too reckless. Southern Yan has violated my border many times, and the Northern Wei Dynasty and Eastern Qi are also eyeing each other, and they just ceded the land and paid compensation a few days ago, so it is not appropriate to use troops at this time, and please ask the king to recall Chu Yu, don't let him make mistakes again and again! ”
"Hahaha!"
The king of Chu laughed and said: "Brother Wang can't help but worry too much, as Yu'er said, Lan Yuguo killed a widow and a prince is not enough, but he dares to do something to Yu'er, it is really too deceitful, according to the widow's opinion, Yu'er is not wrong to teach them a lesson." ”
"What's more, can you see those two poems written by Yu'er? Tsk, this is really the best poem that the widow has seen in recent years, but I didn't expect Yu'er to have such a poetic talent! Being able to make such a poem shows that Yu'er must know it in her heart, so what are you worried about? ”
Chu Yuan frowned and persuaded: "Having said that, he is a prince leading the troops, which is not in accordance with the rules!" ”
The king of Chu waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, before he left, the widow gave him the handsome seal for self-defense!" ”
Chu Yuan was shocked: "What? Did the king give him the handsome seal? ”
King Chu showed a touch of anger on his face: "At the beginning, Yu'er came to find the widow, saying that he should take the handsome seal to defend himself, so as not to have no one in the eyes of Lan Yuguo, and the widow thought that he was thinking too much. Now it seems that Yu'er's worries are really right, she almost caused me to lose another son, and everyone in Lanyu Kingdom deserves to die! ”
Chu Yuan was completely panicked.
Put Chu Yuqing's letter in front of the King of Chu, and then retreat and leave, the King of Chu nodded and didn't care.
Chu Yuan, who lost his mind, thought all the way, and finally gritted his teeth and headed towards the harem.
When the queen saw Chu Yuan coming, she was also surprised and stunned, and after retreating others, she looked at Chu Yuan and said angrily: "Why are you here now?" ”
Chu Yuan glanced at her and said, "The plan is wrong, after Chu Yu went to Xizhou, the assassination was assassinated, but he killed the assassins of Lan Yu Country and defeated the 30,000 army of Lan Yu Kingdom!" ”
"What?"
The queen was visibly surprised.
Chu Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "I underestimated this kid, I didn't expect him to have such ability." Now that I think about it, when he agreed to go to the peace talks, he was a little too cheerful, and at this time, it seems that he has been prepared from the time he agreed. actually controlled the handsome seal in advance, this kid's mind and city government are really deep enough! ”
The queen asked, "You are the regent, why don't you just recall him?" ”
Chu Yuan shook his head: "The so-called general is not subject to the orders of the monarch outside, not to mention that I am only the regent, not the king, and he has a handsome seal in his hand, which is enough to compete with me, I can't command him now!" ”
"What then?"
Chu Yuan said: "For the sake of today's plan, I can only release news in China, the battle with Lan Yuguo is his Chu Yu's personal behavior, and it does not represent the intention of Chu State, once Lan Yuguo knows that Great Chu does not want to fight, it is bound to make a comeback, and only one Xizhou can't stop the entire Lan Yu Country!" ”
The queen worried: "After all, he is the son of the king, and the king is afraid that he will not sit idly by." ”
Chu Yuan sneered: "Who does that waste dare to argue with?" When Chu Yang died, he could only hide in the Listening Rain Pavilion and cry bitterly, what if he died again? Don't worry, I'll take care of him on his side. ”
——
The straight-line distance between Splendid City and Xizhou is only hundreds of miles, thousands of miles away from the twists and turns, and it only takes three or two days to arrive in an expedited manner, plus Chu Yuan has the intention to transmit information, and the news of Chu Yuqing's "personal behavior" quickly spread throughout the entire Great Chu.
Chu Yuqing, who was far away in Yumen Pass in Xizhou, naturally also learned the news, he looked at the recruits in the training on the school ground, and Chu Yuqing pinched the folds of the note in his hand.
Chu Yuqing's eyes narrowed, a grim smile appeared on his face, and he muttered to himself.
"Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang, are you so desperate for me to die? It seems that you can't ...... it."
