Chapter 155: Setting Up the Watchtower
Feng Nishang was not sad or happy, looked directly into his eyes, and said lightly: "Chu Tianjue, what to think about and what not to think, you should know." ”
Chu Tianjue raised her chin and sneered: "Who in the world doesn't know that you Feng Nishang is the princess, what can't this king think, this king thinks that the princess is smart and beautiful, and it is best to stay by her side for a lifetime, princess, what do you say?" ”
Feng Nishang turned her head directly and said without giving in: "This palace will not share her husband with a group of men. ”
Chu Tianjue smiled and said: "This is not simple, this king can guarantee that you will be the only one in the future, whether it is a man or a woman." ”
Feng Nishang said lazily: "What has happened, this palace can't not care, and besides, this palace thinks that the first three thousand are the best." ”
Chu Tianjue said angrily: "Feng Nishang, don't you have to inch in!" ”
Feng Nishang said with a smile: "This palace can still be more inch-inch." After speaking, he kicked Chu Tianjue away with one kick, and said coldly: "Chu Tianjue, if you want to continue to cooperate, it's best to settle down." After saying that, he left directly.
Chu Tianjue was in the spot, his face was blue and red for a while, and he secretly scolded Feng Nishang in his heart.
Border pass, Wucheng.
After a month of marching, Chu Tianyi and Jiang Lige finally arrived in Wucheng and lived in the Wucheng General's Mansion.
In the conference living room, Chu Tianyi sat firmly in the main seat, the first position on the right of the next head sat Jiang Lige, and the one sitting on the left was the military advisor this time, called Gu Xun, about thirty, and he was also experienced in a hundred battles, but this was the first time Gu Xun went to the junction of Southern Chu and Beifeng, and it was Jiang Lige Chu Tianyi was not familiar with him, and then sat in turn several generals guarding the border city.
After some politeness, the Yecheng guard first spoke: "Lord Wang, the regent's 100,000 troops are stationed in Weifengcheng for more than a hundred miles away, but they have not made any moves, what is the reason?" ”
Chu Tianyi looked at the person who spoke, this was Jiang Wu, the guard general of Yecheng adjacent to Wucheng, who had a very close relationship with the Marquis of Zhenbei, and this time his words were difficult. Chu Tianyi looked around and said lightly: "You all have this doubt? ”
All the generals nodded one after another, Chu Tianyi smiled lightly in his heart, this northern guard is really an iron bucket, loyal to Daddy, and said lightly: "To be honest, this king doesn't know, and the only way to do this is to wait." ”
The Langcheng defender was puzzled: "If Beifeng attacks the city, what should it do?" ”
Chu Tianyi said lightly: "Don't worry, our cities are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and this king has his own way." ”
The Langcheng guard sighed and said: "The prince doesn't know, they all say that there is Jiang Ao in the south, and Beilin in the north, this time the regent of Beifeng led the troops, and the general is not there, where is the chance of victory in Nanchu?" ”
Chu Tianyi still said coldly: "The Marquis of Zhenbei is the god of war of Southern Chu, with him, he is naturally fearless, but the Marquis of Zhenbei has not returned home for a long time, this time he returned to Beijing, his father and Emperor Teen had a lot of rest days, this Beifeng has not yet called, General Lin is so afraid, isn't this a long time for others to destroy their own prestige?" ”
The Langcheng guard immediately pleaded guilty and said: "The prince forgives the sin, and the last general is just worried." ”
Chu Tianyi said lightly: "This king knows that you don't think this king has that ability......" Before the words were finished, the generals pleaded guilty and said: "The last general will not dare." ”
Chu Tianyi waved his hand and said indifferently: "This king allows you to think so, but this king will also use facts to prove that this king is worthy of being the commander of this army, and the generals only need to watch." These words were humble and polite, and the little discomfort in the hearts of the guards was dissipated.
Chu Tianyi saw that everyone's opinion of himself had changed, and said majestically: "From now on, the soldiers guarding the city at the border pass will be changed from the original two-hour shift to one hour-one shift, and each city will increase the beacon tower, and if there is a strange fire, the city will help each other." ”
The generals respectfully said: "The last general will take the order." ”
Chu Tianyi said lightly: "Please go back, now that the situation is tense, this king will not leave you more, this Southern Chu is peaceful, and I hope you will work together." ”
The generals respectfully said: "Yes, the last general will retire." ”
Chu Tianyi looked at Jiang Lige again and said, "Lige, send it to the generals." ”
Jiang Lige said respectfully: "Yes, the last general will take the order." Looking at the guards, he stretched out his hand to make an invitation, and said with a smile: "Uncles, I will send you away." ”
General Lin, the defender of Langcheng, said with a smile: "Lige, you are now the deputy marshal, how dare you bother to send it?" ”
Jiang Lige said with a smile: "Uncle Lin, no matter how high Lige's official position is, it is also the result of your teaching. ”
General Lin, the defender of Langcheng, laughed and said: "You, this boasting ability really hasn't been retreated at all, if you have time to go to Langcheng to play, your uncle is still waiting for you with good wine and food." ”
Several other guards were also invited.
Jiang Lige responded one by one, and as he spoke, he was about to leave the General's Mansion.
Jiang Wu approached Jiang Lige and said, "What is the relationship between you and Prince Yi now?" I heard that you are married, and because of the harmony of the prince of Yongning, is it that Prince Yi has done something sorry for you? ”
Jiang Lige looked at a few pairs of concerned eyes, his heart warmed slightly, and said with a smile: "It's all Lige who is sorry for him, and the prince is not bad." ”
Jiang Wu and his entourage breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's fine, it's good that it's not that he's sorry for you." ”
Jiang Lige smiled: "Uncles, don't worry, no one can bully Lige." ”
The generals couldn't help but touch their noses, it's true, their own son, who doesn't take Jiang Lige?
Jiang Lige said again: "The prince has been lonely since he was a child, and his temperament is colder, uncles don't mind." ”
General Lin said quite arrogantly: "What do you Uncle Lin mind, although the prince is a little colder, he can see that he is a good boy." ”
General Jiang teased: "You, you are really a woman, I haven't heard you speak for anyone before." ”
Wei Man, the guard of Ningcheng, said with a smile: "I really didn't expect Lige to get married so soon, I originally thought that you would resent each other, but it seems that you are broken." ”
Zhou Yuan, the defender of Cloud City, also said: "I didn't expect the girl who likes to mess around so much to grow up so quickly." ”
Jiang Lige was a little embarrassed and said, "Uncles, don't make fun of Lige." ”
Everyone laughed.
General Zhou said worriedly: "Lige, the prince is quite young, and he was not taken seriously a few years ago, can this war be done?" ”
General Wei said in a low voice: "Uncle Wei always feels that the prince is too slender, and he will fall down if he pushes it slightly. ”
Jiang Lige drew a few black lines on his forehead, and couldn't help but think of Chu Tianyi's figure, and secretly said that he was indeed a little thinner, and replied: "The prince can be tied with Lige, although he doesn't know how much ability he has to march and fight, but he has been familiar with military books since he was a child, so don't you uncles, besides, even if the prince can't march and fight, aren't there uncles?" ”
When the words fell, the generals were relieved, first, the emperor was not targeting the general, second, the general and Lige trusted Prince Yi very much, and third, although Prince Yi and Lige had already reconciled, the relationship with each other was still very good, and there was no discord between the main and deputy marshals.
The generals who said this were overjoyed and left happily.
After sending off the generals, Jiang Lige returned to the hall.
Chu Tianyi, Chen Huan, Su Qiang, and Gu Xun are discussing countermeasures.
Chu Tianyi looked at Gu Xun and said lightly: "Gu Junshi, what do you think of the current situation, what should this king do?" ”
Gu Xun wiped the non-existent sweat on his head, and said respectfully: "Returning to the marshal, the two armies are facing each other, you might as well send a messenger to talk to each other first, and see what the regent means." ”
Chu Tianyi nodded and said, "Makes sense, continue." ”
Gu Xun said again: "After the talk, if the regent is helpless, we might as well prepare the troops first, if we want to fight, Beifeng's political situation is now unstable, the treasury is empty, and the grain and grass are insufficient, and this battle will not be fought for a long time." ”
Chu Tianyi nodded and said, "The analysis is good, it seems that it makes sense for my father to send you." ”
Gu Xun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you for your praise." "But in my heart, I thought, fortunately, I was prepared.
Chu Tianyi said again: "Who is more suitable for this conversation?" ”
Gu Xun said respectfully: "The lower official is willing to go." ”
Chu Tianyi said lightly: "You're just afraid that your identity is not enough, so it's better for this king to go in person." ”
Jiang Lige stopped: "No, as the commander of the First Army, how can you leave the army easily?" ”
Chu Tianyi smiled lightly: "Lige, you don't have to worry, if I don't go, I'm afraid that no one is suitable to go." ”
Jiang Lige choked, it is true, the other party is the regent and the commander of the first army, there is no one here except Chu Tianyi, but if something happens to Ah Yi, this 100,000 army will be a plate of scattered sand, how should it end then?
Chu Tianyi said again: "Lige, I believe that you don't want this battle to start, you believe me." ”
Jiang Lige hesitated: "This battlefield is changing rapidly, what is the difference between going and not going?" ”
Chu Tianyi said helplessly: "Go, you can know what the regent wants to do, if you don't go, what if the war is about to break out?" ”
Jiang Lige sighed and said, "I really can't say that you, so I'll send someone to deliver the letter, but you have to go around the cities first to see if everything is appropriate." ”
Chu Tianyi said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's arranged, and we'll set off tomorrow." ”
The next day, Jiang Lige stayed in the military camp as a deputy marshal, and Chu Tianyi took Su Qiang and Chen Huan to the other four cities to inspect.
After returning to the barracks in the evening, Chu Tianyi retreated from everyone and said to Jiang Lige: "Lige, observe whether the enemy army is coming, the army is sending scouts, I don't think it's very good." ”
Jiang Lige was puzzled: "You can tell me how it can be improved?" ”
Chu Tianyi smiled: "I want to set up a watchtower." ”
Jiang Lige was puzzled: "What is a watchtower? ”
Chu Tianyi said simply: "It's a very high beacon tower, but people can go up, you can see the enemy camp at a glance, and you can light the fire when the enemy comes, so that no matter where the enemy army sneaks up, we can know." ”
Jiang Lige smiled and said, "Ah Yi, you are simply a natural general, this is a good idea, so that the scout's life is not so much in danger." ”
Chu Tianyi said confidently: "I have calculated, the watchtower can be repaired in one month at the earliest." ”
Jiang Lige nodded and said: "You just do it directly, I will help you write a document to apply to the imperial court or something, and when your lookout is repaired, the paperwork will almost come down." ”
Chu Tianyi smiled: "You are really my virtuous helper. ”
