Chapter Eighty-Six: Scattering Birds and Beasts
Since marrying Yuan Shizhong, Yuan Huimei has gradually learned to intrigue with others.
Especially after her husband Yuan Shizhong rebelled against King Chuang and defected to the official army, Yuan Huimei was even more worried day and night, in her opinion, the power of King Li Zicheng was something that Xiao Yuan's camp and even the official army could not resist.
In order to let herself and the fetus in her womb live, Yuan Huimei began to make small calculations, and even refused to tell the truth to her husband.
In addition, Yuan Huimei also set up a character.
What is a human design, is to reassure Yuan Shizhong and Liu Yuqi.
When she first returned to Xiao Yuan's camp, she began to pay attention to eating, drinking, and having fun, and asked Yuan Shizhong to be a maid for the daughter she had taken from a large family.
This is not over, Yuan Huimei began to go to the market with the big lady to buy all kinds of precious jewelry, and just a few days later, she asked Liu Yuqi for a troupe to perform for her.
For Yuan Huimei's request, Yuan Shizhong responded to all requests.
On this day, Yuan Shizhong was about to talk to her about something, but before he walked in the door, he heard the sound of the troupe singing, walked in and took a look, and saw Yuan Huimei eating and listening to the courtesans playing and singing.
Yuan Shizhong and Liu Yuqi are very satisfied with these changes in Yuan Huimei, after all, it is best to control them only when one person starts to enjoy them.
Since Yuan Huimei has changed, Yuan Shizhong has also begun to warm her from the cold, becoming gentle and considerate, he walked in and sat on the chair and just picked up the dishes and chopsticks, but listened to Yuan Huimei say:
"I'm pregnant, and the affairs in your camp are complicated, so they can take care of it, and after eating here, you might as well go back and discuss big things."
Yuan Shizhong was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was worried about him, so he said with a hippie smile: "You are the lady I am marrying, and you are so beautiful, how can I give you up." ”
"Don't talk about it, I'll stay here tonight."
Yuan Huimei took a bite of food for him and said: "We will grow old together, but when I was pregnant, King Chuang was never treated badly, but now you have turned your back on King Chuang, I always feel sorry for him in my heart..."
When Yuan Shizhong heard this, he also understood that Yuan Huimei's thinking had not changed, and he still wanted him to return to the camp.
In fact, before Yuan Shizhong came to find Yuan Huimei, Shao Shixin had already told Yuan Huimei the content of that day's conversation word by word.
He also added fuel to the fire and said that Yuan Shizhong and Liu Yuqi were plotting to kill Zhu Chengju, of course, this was just Shao Shixin's speculation, but Yuan Huimei didn't know that she was saddened by her husband's despair.
In order to surrender to the imperial court, even Zhu Chengju, who was involved in the incident back then, had to be killed.
The current Yuan Huimei also knows that Yuan Shizhong wants to vote for Zhu Youhua, and Liu Yuqi is called a brother, but in fact he is a lobbyist in Nanyang Palace.
The two of them wanted to win over Shao Shixin, and even Zhu Chengju wanted to kill him, which couldn't help but make her wary of Yuan Shizhong.
Yuan Huimei suddenly asked: "Recently, the wind in Neixiang County has been very tight, you have been transporting bricks to the city day and night, and you have also released those captured officers and soldiers, do you want to resist stubbornly?" ”
Every time he heard this, Yuan Shizhong held back the anger in his stomach, and he was going to come to ward off the cold and warmth, but he ate a mouthful of food and didn't say anything more.
Sensing that the mood of the leader of the Yuan camp was wrong, the courtesans who were singing were a little nervous, and they trembled and sang a lot of wrong tones.
I saw Yuan Huimei muttering to herself: "Sure enough, King Chuang is going to send a large army!" Angered King Chuang, how do you resist? ”
Yuan Shizhong frowned, "It's also the rebel army who started the incident, and he Li Hongji makes you so scared?" ”
"Even if the court doesn't care about me, and the king of Nanyang doesn't want me, I have left a way out for myself, husband and wife, you don't even understand my temperament?"
"Then Li Hongji won't stay in Henan for a long time, he is still followed by Sun Chuanting and Yang Sichang's army behind his buttocks!"
"If I am really desperate, I will leave Henan and go east, as long as I go to Shandong, there will be no risk, there is no big force of officers and troops there."
Yuan Huimei suddenly burst into tears, and while reproaching, she said: "King Chuang will be the one who will sit in the world in the future, can you escape for a while, can you escape for a lifetime?" ”
"When King Chuang becomes the emperor, will I and the child in my womb have to follow you to live a precarious life for the rest of our lives?"
"If you don't want to, am I willing to live like this?" Finally, Yuan Shizhong became angry, walked up to her, held the hilt of the knife, and said angrily:
"You! I run around for the whole battalion and this family, I live in fear every day, I Yuan Shizhong is sandwiched between the court and the king of Chuang, come over like this day by day, do you think I am easy? ”
"It's good that you don't think about how to be a virtuous helper, but you've been disturbing the morale of the army here and beating me back!"
Yuan Huimei was also a female thief, and she instinctively jumped up suddenly, not to be outdone, pulled out the sword that had been placed in the corner of the table, and looked at each other angrily.
Seeing that the couple was about to fight each other for the Shun Imperial Court and Guishun Li Zicheng, Yuan Huimei, who had just jumped up, suddenly hid her face and cried bitterly, inserted the sword back, and sat down again.
"Yuan Shizhong, you are my husband, although you are wolf-hearted and dog-hearted, pigs and dogs are inferior, you have to go to a dead end, but I would rather ask you to kill me, I can't kill you!"
Yuan Shizhong was stunned on the spot, most of the anger dissipated for a while, sighed, and walked away with heavy steps.
"I won't kill you, but this husband and wife will be counted as a matter of time!"
......
Yuan Shizhong and Yuan Huimei, a husband and wife for many years, were estranged because of the surrender of Li Zicheng or Zhu Youhua, and the intrigue from the beginning came to the end.
Yuan Shizhong, who abandoned his wife and children, no longer had any worries, and the first thing he did after going out was to ask someone to kill Shao Shixin, a spy who broke into the camp.
Then he personally went to the city, transported bricks and stones and slabs to the surrounding city walls even closer, and asked Zhu Chengju to take the more than 2,000 old battalions of Xiao Yuan's camp to be stationed within fifty miles of Neixiang County.
It is called to let Zhu Chengju collect the surrounding grain and grass as soon as possible to prepare for the famine.
In fact, Yuan Shizhong was reluctant to let the child trap the wolf, and only by throwing away the two thousand old camps could he get Zhu Chengju out of the way.
After getting out, it was not him Yuan Shizhong who killed Zhu Chengju, but Li Zicheng.
Besides, Liu Yuqi, who heard that his brother and sister-in-law broke off their relationship and rushed back to Nanyang overnight, was waiting anxiously in the lobby of Nanyang Palace.
Li Zicheng's revenge army is coming, and only this prince can send troops to save Xiao Yuan's camp from fire and water.
"I heard that this king's brother Liu is back, where is it?" After a while, Zhu Youhua came to the main hall with a hearty laugh.
At the moment, Liu Yuqi didn't have any intention of joking, so he knelt down with a puff and said straight to the point:
"Lord Wang, the villain has persuaded his brother to vote, he killed Shao Shixin, if the prince does not send troops to rescue, I am afraid that he will not live for ten days!"
"The villain implores the prince to send troops, and my two brothers will saddle up their horses in the future to repay the prince's great kindness!"
"If Xiao Yuanying doesn't listen to the dispatch in the future, I, Liu Yuqi, will cut him down with my own hands!"
Zhu Youhua asked: "What about Shao Shixin's head, but he brought it?" ”
"Brought, it's been sealed, please take a look!" Liu Yuqi waved his hand, and immediately several palace guards picked up a box.
Zhu Youhua smiled slightly after reading it, and said: "Since Xiao Yuanying is sincerely obedient, this king will definitely help with this, as for the Henan governor Gao Mingheng and Henan chief soldier Chen Yongfu, I believe that this head and a letter from this king will also make them make a decision quickly." ”
Of course, Liu Yuqi knew Zhu Youhua's status in Henan, and he was overjoyed, and bowed and said: "The villain thanks the prince for his great kindness, I don't know when the Nanyang battalion will send troops?" ”
Zhu Youhua also knew that he had to act cautiously against Li Zicheng, and this battle of Luoyang was resurrected so quickly.
He Li Zicheng can lose a thousand times and ten thousand times, and then start again, but he can't afford to lose once, and if he loses once, he will lose all the games.
Zhu Youhua thought for a while and said:
"You take this king's warrant to Wollongong to find Huang Hu, let him send troops immediately, go to Zhenping first, act at the opportunity, and act prudently, this king will also write a letter to General Meng and General He and ask them to come to help in the war."
"When the time is ripe, this king will personally go to Zhenping and personally command the resistance to the thieves."
Liu Yuqi bowed again, "Thank you, Lord Wang!" ”
