Chapter 82: Losing the Initiative
Just walked a few steps, and could still see the walls of the capital from afar, Lan Ziyi estimated that the baggage team at the back had not left the capital yet, so why did he have to rest in place? It's just inexplicable.
But after knowing the reason, Lan Ziyi was relieved,
It turned out that King De was tired after riding his horse for a while, and he wanted to rest.
It's not so much that he is relieved, but that Lan Ziyi is already desperate for King De, and he really has the style of a prince.
This rest was almost an hour, so the first day of the expedition ended in such stop-and-go.
That night, the army marched into a county town more than ten miles outside the capital.
At the request of the king of De, the county order led the local fame, the elders came out far to greet him, the whole army entered the city, slaughtered chickens and slaughtered cattle for a feast, and the king of Germany played until midnight in the company of the fish father-in-law.
At noon the next day, he drove again to Gangneung.
In the next three days, the king of Germany commanded an army of tens of thousands of people to go up the mountains to hunt and go into the water to fish.
The prince played very happily, but he suffered the soldiers of the Beijing camp.
The soldiers get up early every day and are greedy for darkness, for the king of Germany to drive away wild beasts, go into the water to block the swimming fish, since the beginning of the spring there has been a lot of rain, this time along the river and the rain is greater, the soldiers' clothes have never dried,
And because King De hunted excessively, whether there was a regular schedule or not, fortunately, the pomp and circumstance, as soon as he was interested, he had to set out the whole army in the middle of the night.
In three days, he had only traveled more than 30 miles, but the army of tens of thousands of people was exhausted.
Not only that, King De also had to prepare delicacies and treasures for him in the counties along the way, and he would whip and scold the officials if he was not satisfied, and the chickens and dogs jumped all the way. I heard that there were even people fleeing with their families in the counties along the way that King De was going to pass, for fear of being raided by King De.
During this period, several generals of the Beijing camp specially met with King De and told King De that the military situation was urgent and that he should advance quickly, including Wei Qionglou of the East Tiger Battalion.
Wei Qionglou is really an upright man, and he is unceremonious to King De, and directly said that the soldiers in the Beijing camp are all bloody men, not slaves of the palace, and they are not used to have fun for the prince.
King De couldn't sit still on the spot, and wanted someone to drag Wei Qionglou out and behead him.
Father-in-law Yu has been doing his best to serve King De these days to eat and have fun, and King De's requirements are to meet the satisfaction that can be satisfied, and the ideas that cannot be satisfied are satisfied. But Father-in-law Yu did this in order to insert a foot in King De's side, so as to find a way out for himself in the future, and his head was not confused.
Father-in-law Yu also knew that King De was making such a fuss, but there was no good way.
Wei Qionglou is telling the truth, he is speaking for the soldiers in the army, where may he really be cut,
So Father-in-law Yu just pretended to scold Wei Qionglou and told Wei Qionglou to get out, and gave the prince a haha to finish.
Lan Ziyi has been avoiding King De for the past few days, because he knows that it is useless to say it, and it is useless to say it, but he has been paying attention to the military intelligence reports of the imperial court and the counties along the way, but because the army is marching too slowly, the thieves in Jingzhou are surging, and there has been no useful news in the past three days.
It's so abnormal, the so-called 400,000 rogues who are in turmoil have not heard from them at all, and this silence is too abnormal.
Although Lan Ziyi was anxious, he was helpless, after all, Gonggong Yu was used to King De, who dared to have any other ideas.
Qi Rongxun still played with King De on the first day, and he didn't go out with him later, and I heard that he still complained about King De in private, saying that the military situation was urgent.
If what he said is true, then Qi Rongxun still has some military backbone, not the kind of flattering villain.
That night, Lan Ziyi was in the tent, and Wei Qionglou scolded King De on the side,
Since being kicked out of the military tent by King De, Wei Qionglou has been scolding constantly, and Lan Ziyi is used to it.
Wei Qionglou scolded:
"What the hell King De, it's obviously a king who lacks virtue, and he can't tell the priorities. The reincarnated thieves in Jingzhou have been entrenched for almost ten days, and we have just left the capital, and we have to accompany this bastard on a safari every day. β
ε °εδΉ says:
"General Wei, don't scold, when this word reaches King De, there won't be any good fruit for General Wei to eat."
Wei Qionglou obviously didn't eat this, and reincarnated and scolded Lan Ziyi and said:
"No good fruit to eat? What am I afraid of! Cutting off the head is just a big scar, compared to my head Jingzhou banditry. Wei Hou, you are also the queen of the gate, go and talk to that King De! What's this called?! β
The Tao brothers on the side were also bowing their heads and sighing when they heard Wei Qionglou scolding the street, and they were also very aggrieved.
Lan Ziyi was just about to speak, when there was a rush of footsteps outside the tent door, and a sergeant hurriedly got into the tent.
When Wei Qionglou saw it, he scolded:
"Are there any rules? Just broke in? β
The sergeant was not scolded by Wei Qionglou, but said anxiously:
"Wei Jiangjun, Wei Hou, there is a military report! There is a reincarnation thief in Yiling! β
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Lan Ziyi jumped up directly from the horse and asked:
"What did you say?"
The sergeant had repeated
"Yiling found a thief."
Hearing this, Tao Zhuhu approached Lan Ziyi and said:
"Yiling is the southeast gateway of Tianfu Road, and the thieves want to enter Tianfu in the west?"
ιqiongζ₯Ό says:
"The western army has been completely dismantled in recent years, and the town army is stationed on the west side of the original line, and the empty city of Yiling can't stop the thieves."
Tao Zhulu stepped forward and said:
"Although the Western Army has been dismantled, it is much better than the Southern Army, and it still has the power to protect itself. Although Yiling is the gateway of Tianfu Road, the mountains west of Yiling are vertical and horizontal, the road is dangerous and slippery, and all along the way are the territory of Nanban Tusi, and it will not be easy for thieves to go from there. β
Lan Ziyi thought about it, it was true. Nearly 200,000 people were dragged along by thieves. This time, Gangneung may be coerced by a group of people. Without the rear to transport grain and grass, even if these people lay down the Yiling Road, it would be difficult for them to enter Tianfu. Taiwei Zhang said before that the thieves might cross the river to the north, is this a strategy to attack the east and the west?
The military situation is urgent, and it is possible to change in a moment, and now Lan Ziyi and they are like blind again, how can they conclude that the thieves must go north because of Taiwei Zhang's words without any intelligence source.
At this time, Tao Zhutu got up and came to Lan Ziyi's side and said:
"Less...... Wei Hou, what should I do? β
Lan Ziyi gritted his teeth and said:
"Anyway, the thieves are already moving, we can't wait any longer. Without further ado, let's hurry up and ask Grandpa Yu for instructions. β
Wei Qionglou said to the little soldier who reported the news at this time:
"Order the whole battalion, get ready to go."
The sergeant clenched his fists and sang, and ran out as if flying.
Lan Ziyi, Wei Qionglou, and the Tao brothers hurriedly walked to the Yugong public tent, and the rain outside was heavier.
As soon as he arrived at the gate outside the Yugong Camp, he was stopped by the Taicheng guard guarding the door, Lan Ziyi said:
"Please inform the two of you, Lan Ziyi has something important to discuss with her father-in-law."
On the side, Wei Qionglou couldn't help but start shouting:
"Daddy Yu! There will be something important at the end, my father-in-law let me in! β
Before the two Taicheng guards went in to report, the voice of the Yu Gonggong was already heard in the tent:
"Stop arguing! I know you're coming. Come on in. β
The guards at the gate let the way and let everyone in.
After Lan Ziyi and the others entered the military tent, they saw Father-in-law Yu standing in the tent wearing pajamas and cloaks, and then read the paperwork in the light.
Wei Qionglou was about to speak, but Father-in-law Yu stopped him
"I already know Yiling's military report, needless to say. I have just received a document from the Military Aircraft Department, ordering us to immediately drive to Yiling. β
ε °εδΉ says:
"Even if the army marches forcibly, it is impossible for the army to rush to Yiling immediately. Ziyi is willing to lead the Tiger Hunt Battalion lightly and take a step ahead to bite the thieves and open the way for the army. It is also necessary to write to the Military Aircraft Department, and quickly transfer the Western Army to Yiling to stop the thieves from advancing westward. β
Father-in-law Yu handed the paperwork to the Taicheng guard on the side, then stretched out his hand to beckon someone to change his clothes, and then said:
"The imperial court has ordered the Western Army to move. Without further ado, it can only be so. Now we will go and report to the king, and you will start as soon as you are done. β
Lan Ziyi responded:
"Yes!"
Wei Qionglou muttered on the side:
"In the past three days, all the people have been hunting for the king of Germany, and now I am in a hurry when the matter is approaching. The soldiers have been so tired to death recently, how can they still have the strength to fight if they really have to force the army to Yiling? Father-in-law, you are used to King De, and now we all have to suffer with it. β
When Father-in-law Yu heard this, he turned around and glared at Wei Qionglou fiercely, and scolded:
"You son of a bitch, you were almost dragged out and cut by the prince last time you were presumptuous, if it weren't for the old man's protection, would you still be talking nonsense here? Why should I be accustomed to King De? Ask Master Weihou beside you! If he is a little useful, he still needs me to go to such great lengths to please the prince?! β
Wei Qionglou hurriedly closed his voice when he listened, and secretly looked at Lan Ziyi with a sideways face.
Lan Ziyi knew in his heart what Father-in-law Yu was talking about, Father-in-law Yu originally wanted to rely on Lan Ziyi to seek a position by King De's side, but Lan Ziyi had a falling out with King De again, and now Father-in-law Yu has to laugh here at his age, and he must be extremely unhappy in his heart.
At this time, there was another sound of footsteps outside the door, and Qi Rongxun said outside the door:
"Father-in-law! The reincarnated thief appeared outside Yiling City, and there was a possibility of entering Tianfu. The last general implored the Shuai Shenji Battalion and the Xiandeng Battalion to go first and hold back the thieves. β
Lan Ziyi was a little surprised when he heard it, obviously Qi Rongxun was always looking for trouble for himself in the palace, and he thought he was a villain who was cheating and tricky, but now it seems that he is worthy of being the queen of the gate, and he has really been experienced.
Father-in-law Yu had already changed his clothes, took the lead out of the tent, and said to Qi Rongxun:
"Follow me."
Then he walked to the military tent of the king of Germany.
Qi Rongxun saw Lan Ziyi follow King De out of the tent, his eyes were surprised, but he didn't say anything, and just walked away.
From the outside of King De's tent, the inside is brightly lit, and through the light, you can see the graceful shadow of the girl wrapped around a person, writhing constantly.
Wei Qionglou muttered angrily:
"There is *** in the barracks, this King of Germany really doesn't know what to do."
Yu Gonggong was outside the tent, and said with a smile on his face:
"Lord Wang, the old slave has something important to report."
From inside came the fluttering voice of King De:
"Say it. When you're done, hurry up. Don't be ignorant like Lan Ziyi. β
It can be seen that Grandpa Yu did not twitch twice, but this does not affect Grandpa Yu's almost flattering saying:
"Lord Wang~! Thieves were found outside Yiling City. The court also asked us to quickly eliminate this group of thieves. As long as the prince led the army to arrive in time, the group of thieves must be so frightened that they surrendered on the spot. β
King Ned laughed and said:
"Hahahaha! Of course, I am the king of Germany, and there is no one in this world who is my opponent. So don't panic, let's go slowly, recuperate, and wait for work, what kind of Yiling let the thieves fight, the more the thieves attack the city, the heavier the loss, the easier it will be for us to fight. β
Hearing King De say this, all the generals present were speechless.
Lan Ziyi had only one thought in his heart, what a waste.
Father-in-law Yu still smiled all over his face and said:
"Of course. It's just that the court has an order, and we still don't dare to slack off....."
King Inside reprimanded:
"What court? I don't count what King De said? β
Fish Father-in-law to:
"Of course, Lord Wang, you said it, but the old slave, I also want to see Lord Wang show your skills as soon as possible! Besides, now that the emperor is urging, you have to do something. According to the old slave's opinion, let Lan Ziyi and Qi Rongxun lead the troops to open the way, and then keep an eye on the thieves in the past, and our army will follow behind. β
At this time, Qi Rongxun said:
"Lord Wang, please let the last general lead the Shenji Battalion and the first camp to open the way for the prince!"
εΎ·η says:
"You've taken everyone away, what else can I hunt? Who will protect this king? No way. β
Lan Ziyi thought to himself, at this time, he was still thinking about hunting, and there was really no one.
Yu Gonggong smiled:
"There are a lot of princes, and it won't be in your way to play if you go. The infantry is slow, and some cavalry must be sent out. β
Then the king was babbling and groaning in the tent, and said impatiently:
"Alright, alright. Got it. You can't take everyone away, especially the cavalry, who will take them to protect the king? Who's going to hunt me? Let the East Tiger Battalion go, anyway, I'm annoyed when I look at that Wei something. Qi Rongxun, don't you want to go, take the Shenji Battalion away! There are few people, and the artillery battles set off every day are terrifying, and I don't want to see them. Hurry up and don't disturb the king again. β
Hearing this, Father-in-law Yu sighed softly, turned back and handed it to everyone, and then said goodbye to King De with a smile on his face.
Qi Rongxun was also so angry that he stomped his feet, but there was no way, so he hurriedly led his men to the Shenji Camp.
Lan Ziyi secretly scolded in his heart that there were too few troops, but he had no choice, so he hurriedly turned around and ran to the barracks with the Tao brothers and Wei Qionglou.
Father-in-law Yu said behind a few people:
"If you can fight, you will fight, and don't rush forward."
