Chapter 41 Diverting to Xiqiang to settle the people and putting on plain clothes to hide people's eyes and ears
"Sir, why have you discussed this with Sister Zijuan for a long time? But what's the matter? ”
Du Yu sat in the car, only watching Wu Weiyi poke his head and talk to Zijuan all the time, but he didn't know what Mr. Wu had planned. I only heard Wu Weiyi reply:
"Back to the Princess's words...... Wu Moufang only speculated about our current situation in private...... Wu felt that if he was in such a hurry as he was now, the situation would be extremely dangerous. If the movement here was observed on the mountain of the Ba people. Although it is controlled by the Shu master led by your brother Wang, he may not have time to take care of this place for a while. But after a long time, when the Ba people come to their senses, we are afraid that we will inevitably not be trapped by it. ”
Princess Du Yu listened very seriously, and when Wu Weiyi finished speaking, she couldn't help but nod and say:
"Mr. Wu is indeed far-sighted, and the situation here is indeed extremely critical, but I don't know how to solve it?"
I saw Wu Weiyi rubbing his hands, bowing his head slightly towards the princess, and continued to answer:
Wu believes that for the sake of today's plan, the only way to find a place for the people of Picheng is to find a place to live first, settle down for the time being, and then find other ways to respond. This is the only way to go. ”
After hearing this, Du Yu lowered his head, only to see that she frowned, but she hesitated a little:
"But...... But Yu'er has been with the people of Picheng for a long time, how can he bear to give it up...... Besides, now that there are wilderness in all directions, how can we find such a good place for them? ”
"If you want to talk about where the people are going, Wu Mou has already had an idea before, and the princess can rest assured...... Wu knew that the princess was kind and kind, and she must be unwilling. Therefore, he did not conspire with the princess in advance, so he told Miss Zijuan in advance...... Now that the Kingdom of Shu is in danger, your own situation, princess, is even more dangerous. If the people follow and go away to Yelang, I am afraid that there will be all kinds of harm and no benefit. I hope the princess will think twice......"
Du Yu listened to Wu Weiyi's confidence, although he was a little reluctant, he didn't say much, just nodded towards Wu Weiyi:
"That being the case...... The palace will follow Mr. Wu's wishes. ”
......
Speaking of Zijuan's side, Zijuan left in a hurry after discussing with Mr. Wu. According to Mr. Wu's meaning, he immediately led a white horse to accompany him, and hurried all the way to a three-way intersection at the front of the team.
"If the people of Picheng follow us all the way like they do now, their situation is too dangerous. And there is a long way to go, and I don't know what difficulties and obstacles lie ahead. It is better to let them go to the Xiqiang tribe for temporary refuge, and then find another way after the limelight of the past few days. It's better than being stuck here...... Now I order you to lead the people of Picheng and escort them to the Qiang tribe closest to here. With the white horses you are riding, the Qiang people will know at a glance that they will take the people under their way. ”
Zijuan led the more than 100 horsemen under her command to accompany her, and carefully admonished them at the three forks. Immediately afterwards, I saw these white-horse women riding at the three-way intersection and scattered, and then dismounted and found some rocks to make a few signs.
It didn't take long to see from a distance that the mixed ranks of soldiers and civilians were rushing to the three forks. Some people on the side of the road couldn't walk anymore, so they had to sit aside. Scattered on both sides of the large army.
"Folks in Picheng, please take this road. Not far ahead of this road is the Qiang station, and the villagers can go with us to take refuge. ”
Those young and strong people who led the way arrived at the fork first. But when they saw that the official family was going to part ways with themselves, they were all a little panicked:
"What? Won't the official family go to Yoro with us? ”
"Yes! Yes! If the official family abandons us here, we will definitely die without a place to bury! ”
......
Seeing that the crowd was a little excited, Zijuan hurriedly climbed a mountain rock on the side of the road, and explained to the people of Picheng below in a loud voice:
"Don't get me wrong, folks, the Ba people may be chasing after us now. At this rate, I think that sooner or later the Naba people will be killed here, and at that time, it will indeed be difficult for us to keep you safe! The only person feared by the Pakistani people today is our princess. Therefore, the present temporary separation is also for your safety. Not far west of this road, there is a tribe of the Qiang people. The Qiang people's White Horse Chieftain Ke Zhenxi has always been friendly with our princess, and he must be able to keep you safe and thoughtful. Folks, now you can rest assured to go and settle down! ”
The people of Picheng, who were originally bustling below, heard Zijuan's words, but they suddenly lost their voices. After Zijuan finished speaking, she discussed in a whisper. Then I saw that they all sighed and looked helpless.
Although they were reluctant to give up, they all obeyed Zijuan's meaning and embarked on the road to the west.
Before leaving, Zijuan asked the people for some white cloth. Although the people of Picheng didn't know what the officials wanted these plain clothes for, since the officials opened their mouths, they all unpacked their bags one after another, leaving the extra plain clothes and plain clothes to Zijuan and them.
After all the people of Picheng embarked on the fork in the road to the west, Zijuan assigned a detachment that had been agreed upon before to escort the people all the way away. After this allocation, Zijuan was already exhausted.
Fortunately, he successfully completed the important task entrusted by Mr. Wu, and then rode a horse to the princess's car, and said to the princess and Wu Weiyi, who were also sitting in the car, across the car:
"Princess, Mr. Wu, now that the people have gone west safely, Zijuan has also sent about five or six hundred elites to escort them all the way, so it must be safe. It's just that...... Mr. Wu asked me to find more plain clothes from the people, although Zijuan has already collected all of them, but I don't know what to do? Please also ask Mr. Wu to make it clear! ”
I saw Wu Weiyi put his hand on the railing, and said to Zijuan:
"Ordered the soldiers to have one for each person, wear plain clothes outside, and do not show their close-fitting armor. In addition, stabbing spears, halberds and other weapons should also be covered with white cloth to hold the head, and no edge must be leaked! ”
Du Yu in the car and Zijuan outside the car both heard clearly, but they were both puzzled by Mr. Wu's arrangement:
"Mr. Wu? I wonder why? Why did the soldiers wear this costume? ”
"Your Royal Highness Princess, Miss Zijuan, this is a different time. Now that the Ba people have occupied the city of Yuyu, in order to prevent the people of Shu from rebelling, they will inevitably set up checkpoints on the main roads of land and waterways. Therefore, if we march as we do now, we will be too ostentatious to ensure that we will not be detected by the ears and eyes of the Pakistanis. It's better to pretend to be a caravan to move forward, and along the way, it is only said that it is because of a sudden funeral in the master's home, so that he can return to his hometown for a funeral by waterway, so as to hide people's eyes and ears. ”
Zijuan and Du Yu listened to Wu Weiyi's words around them, and suddenly realized, and they couldn't help but admire:
"Mr. Wu's strategizing and taking precautions is really admirable!"
After that, everyone was speeding all the way towards the crossing of the Jingma River.
Sure enough, as Wu Weiyi expected, as the ferry got closer and closer, there were indeed some soldiers dressed as Ba people patrolling back and forth at the intersection.
In order to prevent the plan from being revealed, Wu Weiyi took the initiative to ask the princess to ride a horse and walk at the front of the team. He wondered if he ran into the troublesome Pakistani patrol guards, so he could have a lot of trouble with them.
After all, whether it is Princess Du Yu or Miss Zijuan, they are all women, and they are too young. After all, less is not more, and it is not deeply involved in the world. Therefore, whether it is stealing and playing tricks, or being sophisticated, it is still too shallow.
