Chapter 146: Defeat is like a mountain

The father-in-law stopped the horses, did not wipe the sweat on his head, and immediately sang:

"Everyone takes orders!"

A group of soldiers from the garrison army and the Jihu Battalion dismounted and knelt on the ground, and Lan Ziyi and others also knelt in the car.

The father-in-law immediately announced the decree, and the content of the decree was nothing more than to explain Xuanming's violation of the edict, Lan Ziyi was innocent, and ordered Lan Ziyi to return to Yuzhou as the deputy general of King De to command the battle, and cut off all the positions of Xie Xuanming and Xiong Jingzong, and returned to the capital to listen to punishment.

After the father-in-law finished announcing the decree, Lan Ziyi hurriedly got out of the car, his face radiant, and swept away the haze of the past.

The little father-in-law who announced the decree also got off his horse, walked up to Lan Ziyiyi, handed over the holy decree, and said:

"Xie Xuanming was so bold that he dared to take Lord Lan into custody and seize military power.

Hearing this, the court was furious, and Gonggong Long specially made the matter to the saint.

The emperor had summoned Zhang Mingyue and others in the palace and ordered the matter to be dealt with strictly. β€œ

Lan Ziyi came to the little father-in-law, respectfully took the yellow list, and then touched his body, and found that there was nothing on his body, so he waved to the peach who came over.

Tao Zhulu understood what Lan Ziyi meant, took out a jade wrench from his arms, and took off the golden hairpin on Tao Zhuhu's head and handed it to Lan Ziyi.

Lan Ziyi took the thing and stuffed it into his father-in-law's hand, and said:

"Ziyi was wronged, thanks to the help of your fathers-in-law, I can see the light of day again,

I was taken into custody all the way, and my luggage was not around, only these personal things, a little heart, and I asked my father-in-law not to dislike it. β€œ

The father-in-law looked at the things in Lan Ziyi's hand, although the weather was gloomy, it could not hide the crystal clarity of the jade wrench; After the rain washes away, the oil stains on the hairpin are also washed off, revealing the fine carvings on it. Even the layman can tell that these two objects are worth a lot.

The little father-in-law and Lan Ziyi shirked for a long time, and finally put the thing in his arms, and then said to Lan Ziyi with a smile:

"The lord has suffered this kind of ordeal, and he is so polite, it really makes our family embarrassed."

Lan Ziyi smiled:

"My father-in-law is not afraid of hardships, and he hurried to relieve me of the siege, and it was this kind of rainy day, if he was sick, it would make Ziyi feel ashamed."

The little father-in-law smiled and didn't give in anymore.

Then the father-in-law said:

"Wei Hou, you have been away from Yuzhou for a few days, and you don't know what happened for so many days, please don't delay, go back now, I and the people of the Jihu Battalion are riding good horses, Wei Hou and his subordinates can set off directly."

Wei Hou, don't blame me for not letting you rest, I also convey the meaning of Gonggong Long. β€œ

Lan Ziyi nodded, and then asked:

"Since the emperor is angry, is there something going on in the capital?"

小公公 says:

"Wei Hou doesn't have to worry, the capital is stable, and Gonggong Long is in charge of the celebrant supervisor, there is no problem.

Before the defeat of the Wei Hou, some of the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government shouted that they wanted the Wei Hou to apologize, but no one said so after the news of the night battle in Yuzhou was reported back to the capital.

At that time, the labor army was selected, if it wasn't for Zhang Mingyue's constraints, it should be the people of the Imperial Horse Supervisor who went to Yuzhou, but to mobilize so much food, it was necessary to transfer the household, and there was no way to let Xie Xuanming and Xiong Jingzong go.

But now that these two people have mutiny and seized power, no minister in the court dares to speak to them, and Wei Hou can rest assured that he can boldly attack them when he returns to Yuzhou. β€œ

Lan Ziyi asked again:

"In that case, why didn't my father-in-law come to save me until now?"

The little father-in-law listened to Lan Ziyi's question, frowned and sighed, as if he had been wronged by someone,

The little father-in-law said:

"Wei Hou didn't know, and Gonggong Long also just learned about Yuzhou.

After Xie Xuanming seized power, he did not inform the imperial court, and he did not tell others the route of escorting the marquis, and the imperial court knew that the news was only known to Wei Qionglou of the Dongji Tiger Camp who crossed the level and went to the military department. Even this news was almost suppressed, but fortunately, Gonggong Long ordered people to pay attention to the news on the front line at all times, and only then did he know the reason by asking at all levels.

Father-in-law Long sent me out as soon as he learned the news, and he definitely didn't mean to lie to Wei Hou. β€œ

Lan Ziyi politely said two words like "where, how dare you", and then asked

"What about the situation in Yuzhou City?"

The little father-in-law replied:

"There has been no news since I received Wei Qionglou's letter, and I came to Weihou here at the same time as I went directly to Yuzhou."

Lan Ziyi, who should have asked, has already asked, without further ado, he must rush back to the front line as soon as possible.

Lan Ziyi looked at the horse brought by his little father-in-law, his shoulders were high and strong, even if he ran so many roads and was sweating profusely, he still neighed restlessly.

Lan Ziyi beckoned the Tao brothers and the Qiu family father and son to change into the war horses of the Xiji Tiger Camp, and after saying thank you to the little father-in-law, he also stepped on the horse, and took the more than 200 horses sent by Wei Qionglou.

After getting rid of his father-in-law behind him, Lan Ziyi asked Tao Zhulu:

"What was that you just given?"

Tao Zhulu replied:

"After the victory in the Battle of Mobei at the beginning of the year, the court rewarded the acting duke with some of the things given to our brothers."

Lan Ziyi said with pity:

"That's all the things that the Internal Affairs Office provided to the emperor, and it's a pity to throw them out so generously."

Qiu Xiao, who hugged the horse's neck tightly and barely kept up with Lan Ziyi, said directly:

"Hades is better, but the little ghost is hard to prevent,

These people who come out to do things will be in trouble if they don't stuff something. β€œ

Tao Zhuhu picked up a branch out of nowhere, just put his hair up and said to Qiu Xiaozhi:

"Then you can't take my hairpin away, how can you clean up this hair."

Qiu Xiao replied directly:

"Learn from that Suo Lu and comb it into braids."

When they heard this, they laughed, and the whip in their hands became even more ruthless, until the horses accelerated and ran.

Lan Ziyi led his subordinates day and night, first north to Shouyang, and then all the way to the west.

The spring breeze does not come, the rain is still on, the horse's hooves smashed into the mud on the road and the muddy water is scattered, the horse's belly below including the riders' calves are tightly wrapped in mud every day, and the layer that has just fallen has not yet come to dry, and the back ones are stacked up again.

Just ran wild for several days, the farther away from the river, the smaller the rain,

Finally walked out of the territory of the river **, and there was no continuous rain.

But the good weather didn't give Lan Ziyi a good mood, he became more and more restless, he couldn't eat or sleep every day,

Because it's so quiet.

It's not that the surrounding environment is quiet, birds and insects chirp, and people are the same.

Quiet means that there is no news from Yuzhou at all, which should not be.

Half a month has passed since Lan Ziyi was sent out of Yuzhou by Xie Xuanming, and Xie Xuanming was already negotiating with the thieves before Lan Ziyi was relieved of military power.

If Zhao'an went smoothly, there should have been news a long time ago, but there was really no news of the encirclement and suppression of thieves in front of him along the way, how could this not make Lan Ziyi worried.

It was not yet dawn that morning, and Lan Ziyi woke up again,

The bonfire lit last night had not yet burned out, and the soldiers who were camping were still asleep.

Tao Zhutu, who was disturbed by Lan Ziyi's getting up, blinked his dry eyes and said in a daze:

"Young master, it's still early, let's go to sleep again."

Lan Ziyi didn't squeak, quietly squeezed out of the cracks, and came to the periphery of the camp.

He looked to the west, and in contrast to the whiteness of the fish belly rising in the east, the western sky was still shrouded in the silence of the night.

The soldiers of the night watch saw Lan Ziyi coming and said hello slightly, which was also a privilege of the night watchman, who stood guard for the soldiers all night.

Lan Ziyi stepped forward and found a sentence and asked:

"How?"

The sergeant replied:

"It's fine.

Why didn't Wei Hou sleep for a while, it was still early. β€œ

兰子义 says:

"Can't sleep."

Then Lan Ziyi asked rhetorically:

"Aren't you tired if you don't sleep all night?"

Unexpectedly, the sergeant not only did not answer Lan Ziyi's question, but instead stretched out his finger to make a shushing gesture, signaling Lan Ziyi to stop talking, and then whispered:

"Listen to Wei Hou."

Lan Ziyi stretched his neck with the sergeant, put his hand on his ear and listened quietly,

The sound of the wind, the sound of the grass and trees, and the sound of the stars shining together came into the ears, this is a natural sound, what's wrong...... Wait a minute, there seems to be some movement in this background, some noisy, some chaotic, as if the sound is not small.

I don't know when the sergeants of the Jihu Battalion lying behind Lan Ziyi have all sat up, and the sergeant who made Lan Ziyi quiet just now fell to the ground, put his ears to the ground, and listened quietly for a while and reported:

"To the northwest, at least 60,000 people, are approaching our side, with vehicles, livestock, on foot, with a chaotic pace,

Is it baggage? β€œ

The sergeants of the Jihu Battalion who had done it had already passed the news to the core of the team, that is, the place where Lan Ziyi and them were resting.

After hearing the sergeant's report, Lan Ziyi frowned slightly, and then said:

"Neither our army nor the thieves should let the baggage open the way."

Then Lan Ziyi said to the night watchman who reported to him:

"You immediately take the two brothers who are on vigil and ride to the northwest to reconnoiter first, and whoever you see must come back as soon as possible to report to me."

After the sergeant received the order, Lan Ziyi turned back to the camp, urging the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion to quickly tidy up their clothes along the way.

The sergeants of the Jihu Battalion, who were lying on the ground, had already been woken up by the sound coming from the ground, and they had all gotten up to clean up, and the camp was busy with tension but order.

Tao Zhutu came to look for him in the direction Lan Ziyi had just walked, and the two returned to the campfire together.

Peach Chase Tiger and Peach Chase Deer have been dressed, and the father and son of the Qiu family are not familiar with the military, and they are still a little busy, but they are almost cleaned up.

With the help of the Tao brothers, Lan Ziyi put on his armor, turned over and got on his horse, and the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion had also been sorted out, and they all started to line up.

Tao Zhuhu then said:

"Wei Hou, there are a lot of people coming, could it be a thief?"

Lan Ziyi took a deep breath, touched the saber on his waist, and said:

"It's hard to say, but I hope not."

At this time, the soldiers in front of Lan Ziyi separated to the two sides to make a passage, and it turned out that the two sergeants sent out just now came back from reconnaissance.

Lan Ziyi waited for the three of them to come to his horse and asked:

"What's the situation?"

The sergeant who was talking to Lan Ziyi just now said breathlessly:

"Back to Weihou, it is the people who have fled, and Yuzhou has been lost."
