Under the clear sky, Shaoling City is full of people, the officers and soldiers who went south to rebel are entering the city, and the rebels who were entrenched in Shaoling have fled from the wind, and the officials and soldiers have recovered this empty city without much effort.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Shaoling is an empty city, because except for the officers and soldiers, there is no one in the city, no poultry and livestock, not even rats.

There are traces of the fire everywhere, charred beams, wood abound, before the thieves fled south, a fire burned Shaoling, and the officers and soldiers entered the city to see a ruined wall.

It's also trouble-free.

This is the idea that everyone agrees, a fire burned clean, but the city wall is still there, and you can have space to set up a big tent when you clean it up, and now it is the Son of Heaven who is driving in person, just building a palace in the city.

For ordinary soldiers, this expedition is not simple, not only the prime minister who holds great power leads the civil and military officials to act in military affairs, but also the high Son of Heaven in the army, it is said that there are also the Queen Mother and Queen Yi accompanied, there are so many nobles here, the requirements for camping are naturally not low.

Blankets are spread on the floor, incense and medicine are smoked, utensils, tableware and all kinds of clothing, food, housing and transportation supplies are naturally particular, and the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother can not be allowed to sleep in a leaky broken tent, usually holding a broken bowl and squatting under the tree with two wooden sticks as chopsticks to eat, right?

Some of the soldiers were soldiers, some were civilians who had been conscripted for military service, and most of them lived in poverty and had never been exposed to the lives of wealthy families, let alone how the Son of Heaven lived who was older than the great officials.

They only know that the Son of Heaven must be the best in the world, even if it is a night pot, it must be made of pure gold.

"I see, the ploughs, hoes, and shovels used by the Son of Heaven to plough the land must be made of pure gold, and in the autumn, the wheat must be harvested with a golden sickle." Some soldiers speculated with longing, chatting with their comrades while cleaning up the rubble.

After hearing this, the person next to him immediately agreed: "Pure gold? You've never seen the world! Pure gold is so soft, how to plough the land when it is made into a gold plow? ”

"Shout, like you've seen it! Isn't the most precious plough in the world the golden plow? The Son of Heaven doesn't use a golden plough to plough the land, so he uses a wooden plough as you generally? ”

It makes sense, everyone thinks that the Son of Heaven must use a golden plow to plough the land, a golden hoe to weed, a golden sickle to cut wheat, and the family's... One acre of land in the palace can harvest hundreds of catties of wheat, and there is buttermilk to drink every day, and to drink a bowl and pour a bowl.

And the queen mother must feed the horses with a golden trough, feed the pigs with a golden spoon, raise silkworms with a golden dustpan, spin cloth with a gold spinning wheel, and spin dozens of pieces of cloth in one night, wear gold silk satin, and sleep with gold silk brocade.

According to their standard of living, the simple soldiers believed that the standard of living of the Son of Heaven was to exchange the utensils and agricultural tools for gold products, and to exchange food, clothing, shelter and transportation for the most expensive kind.

It is precisely because of the proximity to life that all kinds of conjectures have been recognized by everyone, and you and I have tried to depict what the luxurious life of the Son of Heaven looks like.

It's autumn now, and everyone was supposed to work for a large family in their hometown, as tenant farmers to harvest crops, so that they could have some food as payment, but now they suddenly have to fight, and they are conscripted by the government to serve in the army and go out with the army, and I don't know when they will be able to go back.

I have been fighting for the past few years, and last autumn I finally stopped fighting, but this year I fought again, and I was persuaded that military service would only take one month, and although everyone didn't know how to count, they found that they were afraid that they were going to spend the New Year in a foreign land.

From his hometown to Shaoling, Yuzhou, Henan, it has been more than half a month, even if he turns around and goes back now, it will take more than a month to come and go, not to mention that the rebellious one-legged bronze man is entrenched in the Hanging City, and the ghost knows when he will be able to drive it away.

The bronze man, or the one-legged one, how can this thing eat and sleep like a living person?

I don't know, anyway, it's said everywhere in the barracks, so everyone has more or less heard the story of the one-legged bronze man.

Anyway, the one-legged bronze man does bad things, heinous, the head can be changed to a knight, and there are a thousand households in the city, and the soldiers are fantasizing that if they attack the city and grab the head of the one-legged bronze man, the whole family will have no worries about food and clothing in the future.

If you really want to get to that time, hurry up and find a matchmaker to talk about a little lady with a big ass and renew the incense at home... No, where is one enough, I want ten!

"What a laugh, daydream! Get to work!! ”

The soldiers' fantasies were interrupted by a loud shout, and everyone wiped the corners of their mouths, and hurried to the rotten wood that burned black on the ground, for it was already afternoon, and if they did not hurry to clear the open space and set up their tents before sunset, they would have to eat and be whipped for dinner.

While he was busy, a soldier found a shiny instrument in the ruins, emitting a golden light in the sun, which seemed to be a golden candlestick, and his heart moved, wanting to step on it with his feet so as not to be noticed, and then found an opportunity to pick it up and hide it in his arms, but was seen by the team.

"What are you doing sneaking around? Get your feet off the way! ”

Seeing that the soldier moved his feet sneeringly, the team found that there was a gold weapon under his feet, and they were overjoyed and did not forget to be crowned: "This thing is a trophy, Lao Tzu wants to take it and hand it in!" ”

The soldiers around him were disdainful, but they did not dare to say anything, and watched as the team stepped forward, bending down to reach for the gold artifact.

。。。。。。

A thunderbolt shook the four fields, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, alarming everyone, Prime Minister Wei Chi Dan, who was checking the terrain on the mound next to the official road, raised his head and followed the voice, only to see a mushroom-shaped black cloud rising in Shaoling City a few miles ahead.

The soldiers who were marching towards Shaoling in a long line on the official road stopped, looked at the mushroom cloud in front of them and talked about it, Wei Chidun's eyelids jumped, and he asked the generals around him in an unkind tone:

"Didn't the widow say that? Beware of enemy troops planting thunderbolts in the city! ”

"Prime Minister forgive sins! The last general will immediately go to the city to oversee! ”

"You're going? Won't you have so many subordinates to do it? Whoever doesn't do well and makes a mistake, let him come and see him! ”

"The last general obeys!"

Wei Chidun looked at the generals who left in embarrassment, and then looked at the team that stopped on the official road, snorted coldly, and several other generals hurriedly shouted in the direction of the team: "What are you doing in a daze!" Keep moving! ”

"Before sunset, set up camp in Shaoling! If the time is missed, no one will have anything to eat! ”

Marching and fighting, there are a lot of trivial things, but this does not need Wei Chi Tang to worry about, looking at Shaoling City with black smoke in the distance, and looking at the map in his hand, he is thinking about how to carry out the offensive against the hanging gourd next.

The Anzhou army entrenched in Shaoling retreated, and also withdrew with the people in the city, not only Shaoling, but also Ruyang, east of Shaoling.

The Anzhou army's move was unexpected, but it was reasonable, the contrast between the two sides was so disparity, if the Anzhou army dared to divide the troops to defend everywhere, it was no different from sending them to death.

The Bozhou army in the east has probably arrived in Ruyang at this time, and as for the Yangzhou army in the south, there is no news for the time being, but it is inevitable that the enemy of the hanging gourd will be alone, and if Yuwenwen, who is entrenched in the hanging gourd, is still sensible, he should withdraw the army.

However, Wei Chidun judged from the Anzhou army's abandonment of Shaoling and Ruyang that Yuwenwen might intend to gather his forces to defend the Hanging Gourd to fight the trapped beasts, as long as the imperial court had not taken the Hanging Gourd, it was impossible to free up his hands to attack Jingzhou Fangcheng again.

Therefore, for Yu Wenwen, it is indeed a necessary measure to use the hanging gourd as a weight to delay time, but the person who is trapped in the hanging gourd will be finished sooner or later.

To tell the truth, if Yuwenwen really stayed in the Hanging Gourd, Wei Chi Dian would really admire the courage of his niece and son-in-law, there is no danger to defend around the Hanging Gourd, once surrounded, unless there are reinforcements from outside, the defenders will not be able to escape.

The lonely city cannot be defended, and it is a matter of time before it falls, Wei Chidun knows this truth, and Yuwen Wen should also know this truth, and according to his style of acting, it is very likely that he will stay in the hanging gourd, and he will die for Yuwen to survive.

If Yu Wenwen is really hanging, it is in line with Wei Chi Dan's mind, he feels that as an uncle and maternal uncle, he has the responsibility to reunite his niece's family.

At that time, Yu Wenwen will reunite with his wife and children, and the scene will be very touching, I don't know if the other party is crying or laughing

"Prime Minister, if Yuwen Wen stays in the Hanging Gourd, does he want to learn from Liu Song and Chen Xian, and vainly try to defend the Hanging Gourd with thousands of soldiers against the 100,000 army of the Wang Division?"

A general said with a smile, Wei Chi Dun disagreed, he now has a large number of generals, as well as trebuchets, thunderbolts and other siege weapons, taking down a small hanging gourd, but it is just a turtle in the urn.

But he was not blindly optimistic, signaled his entourage to put away the map, and said with a calm face: "The hanging gourd is the left and right of Rushui, and it is indeed a little troublesome to attack. ”

"Prime Minister, this time is different from the past, our army is fully prepared, manpower, material resources, food and grass are sufficient, even if the garrison of the hanging gourd resists stubbornly, how long can it last? It's just that I don't know if the puppet emperor is still in the city, if he can catch them all, it will save trouble. ”

The puppet emperor in the Hanging Gourd City, is it Yuwen Qiankeng himself? This question is meaningless, Wei Chidun just wants to take the hanging gourd as soon as possible, drive away the Anzhou army on the boundary of the Yuzhou Governor's Mansion, and avoid the deterioration of the situation in Henan.

Then stabilize the state of Chen, concentrate forces to attack Fangcheng in Jingzhou, break into the boundary of Jingzhou, and cut off the connection between Shannan and Guanzhong.

Chi Qin, the governor of Bingzhou, is now facing off with Yuwenliang across the Yellow River and Tongguan, and Xi Biluo, the governor of Yizhou in Shu, thinks that he has already led his troops to Sanguan in the west of Guanzhong.

There is also the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion located in Hanzhong, you can send troops to attack Xiangzhou along the Han River, or you can send troops to the Meridian Valley to threaten Chang'an, at that time, Yuwenliang will be attacked by the enemy, how long can it last?

Wei Chidun thought of this and was about to get on his horse, but when he saw several horsemen coming in front of him, it turned out that someone from the direction of Shaoling had sent someone to report, saying that the soldiers had accidentally touched the mechanism when cleaning up the ruins in the city, and detonated the thunder buried in the ground by the Anzhou army, and the casualties were somewhat large, and now they are investigating whether there are other traps.

Wei Chidun had already explained in advance that he wanted to beware of the organs of the Anzhou Army in the city, and now that this kind of thing happened, he didn't bother to be mad again, anyway, the military order was like a mountain, and he couldn't set up camp in Shaoling City before sunset, so he could do what he wanted.

Just as he was about to get on his horse again, Wei Chidun suddenly stopped and motioned to the left and right to approach: "You send some people, be more clever, and spread rumors near the hanging gourd." ”

"Prime Minister, I don't know what the rumors are? Please also advise. ”

"Just say.... Let's just say that when the official army entered Shaoling, they accidentally touched the organ, which triggered the thunder buried in the ground, and the casualties were heavy, and Queen Yi was seriously injured and died soon..."

The general was ordered to arrange manpower, and Wei Chidun looked at the sky to the south and sneered: "Little rabbit cub, you buried nails and pierced people in Shaoling, right?" I make you toss and turn at night and can't sleep! ”

。。。。。。

Yuwen Wen woke up from his dream, and in the dream, he saw Yu Chi Chi Fan and Yu Wen Weicheng sitting in a carriage, surrounded by the forbidden army into Shaoling City, and as a result, he accidentally triggered the thunder buried in the ground when the Anzhou army retreated, and the mother and son were engulfed in fire and smoke.

When the smoke cleared, the ground was in a mess, and in the pile of dead people, Yuwen Weicheng was covered in blood and unconscious, and the dying Wei Chi Chi was holding his son, and fell helplessly in a pool of blood, already out of breath more than in in.

The thunder was buried by Yuwenwen's order, in order to cause trouble to the army of Wei Chi Tang who occupied Shaoling, and the trigger mechanism of the thunder was produced by the Xiyang Wangfu workshop sincerely, and the success rate of firing reached 80%.

Seeing such a tragic situation of his wife and children, Yu Wenwen only felt that his heart was like a knife, and then he woke up from his dream and found that his back was soaked with cold sweat.

"Lord Lang?"

"Huh?"

Zhang Yu, who was next to the guard, called softly, bringing Yu Wenwen back to his senses, and he found himself napping in the fortifications made of sandbags, still holding half of the uneaten cooking cake in his hand, and a bamboo kettle was poured on the ground next to him, and the water in the kettle had run out.

"Huh? Is the widow asleep? ”

"Yes, Lord Lang, everyone had lunch just now, and the king fell asleep while eating."

Seeing Yu Wenwen's somewhat haggard appearance, Zhang Yu couldn't bear it, and admonished: "Lord Lang, supervise the city defense, there are other generals, Lord Lang don't be too tired." ”

"Tired? Now it's a war! The enemy army is about to enter the city, and once the city is broken, there is nowhere to run! ”

Yu Wenwen regained his vitality again, solved the uneaten cooking cakes in three or two, took the bamboo kettle handed by Zhang Yu, drank a few sips, and then took a long breath.

"Lord Lang, uh.... The master mother and Xiao Langjun must be fine, the enemy army is spreading rumors everywhere, but they just want to distract Lord Lang. ”

Zhang Yu stumbled and persuaded, Yuwenwen waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care: "The widow knows, the widow is just worried about the city defense." ”

This is against the will of the words, yesterday, the enemy army into the Shaoling news reached the Xuan, at the same time there is another news, that is, when the carriage of Queen Yi entered Shaoling, triggered the thunder buried in the ground, as a result of the serious injury, now life and death are uncertain.

Yu Wenwen heard the news, and still talked and laughed in front of everyone, and then lost sleep that night, and went to the city to supervise the city defense with dark circles under his eyes early this morning, Zhang Yu saw it in his eyes and knew that Yu Wenwen was uneasy.

Just lunch, everyone in the city will eat cooking cakes to satisfy hunger, Yuwenwen fell asleep while eating, Zhang Yu didn't dare to disturb, wanted to let Lord Lang have a good rest, but this suddenly woke up, and others knew that they had a nightmare.

Zhang Yu and the other guards didn't say anything, but their expressions couldn't be hidden, Yuwen Wen saw that everyone looked disbelieving, and knew that he couldn't hide it.

He was indeed worried about Yu Chi Chi Fan and Yu Wen Wei Cheng, worried that the mother and son would be injured by the mechanism he ordered someone to bury, and reason told him that the enemy army must carefully check whether there is a mechanism before entering the city, so Wei Chi Duan must be sure that nothing goes wrong before letting Yu Chi Chi Fan and Yu Wen Wei City enter Shaoling.

Then the news that "Princess Di's life and death are uncertain due to the injuries of the organ" reached Xuangu, and it must have been deliberately done by Wei Chidun to disturb his mind.

But emotionally, he couldn't pass the level in his heart, he was a little annoyed, very worried, insomnia all night, and everyone saw him tired, and now he was looked at with sympathetic eyes by the people around him, which was really a bit embarrassing.

He was a little annoyed and uncomfortable, so he had to quickly change the topic: "What about Wang joining the army?" Where is the death! ”
