Chapter 69: Departure (1)
Yun Pengfei and Yun Pengxi were really a little angry when they stood there.
This Yun Yichen has always been a scoundrel! Anything that comes to him will surprise you! I'm so angry!
It's just that no matter how angry he is, it's useless, because he has already left the camp, and even if he sends someone to chase him, he may not be able to catch up.
Yun Pengxi had no choice but to go back angrily.
Because this is really not the time to be angry with him. There is no way to be angry, because he is the deputy marshal of this expedition, and it is understandable to lead his entourage out.
Fortunately, he is not about to go on the expedition, and there is still a chance to deal with him!
This second prince is really a person who can't be offended casually, and an incident when he was a child can be remembered to this day, but it really makes him, the high-ranking Sixth Emperor Uncle, a little angry!
In fact, the reason why he ran to the barracks to find the little monk was not because he wanted to recruit any strange people, let alone because he was curious, because what kind of talented people did he have under Yun Pengxi? Do you care about a little monk who shoots a dog?
It was really because of his mother, the current Queen Mother, who sent someone to invite him last night and asked him to go to Jingyang Palace, saying that there was something important to discuss with him.
At that time, he felt that there was a reason for the incident, so he didn't say a word, so he followed the internal official into the palace and met his mother. Only then did he know that his only sister, Princess Huiren, was still alive, and knew the ins and outs of everything.
When the Empress Dowager received Wei Ying's secret letter, it was already the second day of Brother Yu's conscription.
The queen mother, who was worried that Brother Yu would be bullied in the barracks, thought of her youngest son, Yun Pengxi, who had been ignoring the government and devoted herself to playing in the mountains and rivers. As long as he can come forward to the military camp to bring Brother Yu back, everything will be fine, if he can't bring it out, see how Brother Yu is doing at the moment? It's okay if you're doing well or not. At least the Queen Mother was relieved.
But what is the situation today? Obviously, I can't even see each other.
Because Yun Pengxi was the first emperor, the most favored concubine at the beginning, the first emperor was worried that his favorite son would be suppressed by the crown prince after his death, so he took advantage of his lifetime to give Yun Pengxi a territory, canonized the title, and let the prince at that time promise not to suppress his own brother in the future, so Yun Pengxi was able to live so freely until this time.
If not, with the emperor's suspicious and jealous nature, he may have done it to him a long time ago.
For example, if it weren't for the emperor's rumor that she wanted to kill her only son, who was less than two years old, she would not have committed suicide by drinking poison in despair, so as not to suffer the pain of losing her son after her husband and eldest daughter were killed.
Because of this, the queen mother was extremely disappointed in her eldest son, the current emperor, and she was at odds with him to this day, and she was wary of him.
Only this little son, who seems to be high and ignores the world, the queen mother still trusts him!
Of course, Yun Pengxi was also very pleased that his sister's daughter was still alive, and after listening to the Queen Mother's words, he rushed to the barracks non-stop, but who would have expected this kind of thing to happen? It's really a bit of a frustration!
But there was nothing to do, so I could only go back to the palace and explain to the queen mother that Brother Yu was safe at the moment, but he was detained by Yun Yichen's side, saying that he was going to be his attendant, and he would go to ask him for Brother Yu tomorrow to see how he shirked!
The Queen Mother's hanging heart finally fell to the ground.
Brother Yu has not been identified so far, and he is still a little monk.
That's good, as long as the identity is not recognized, even if he will eventually follow the army to fight, as Master Yuanqing said, maybe it will be a chance, go to the frontier to find his brother, and then discuss the plan to avenge the Helan family.
It's just that the queen mother is a little worried that she was included in the account by the second prince Yun Yichen, and it was because she shot through a piece of his jade pendant that he kept him by his side.
If it was Yun Pengfei, the Queen Mother might not be so worried, because Yun Pengfei's mind was not enough to discover Brother Yu's identity, and the Queen Mother was still a little sure of this. Although she hasn't met her granddaughter in the past few years, she knows all about her situation.
She knew that her brother Yu's skills and abilities at the moment were more than enough to deal with Yun Pengfei. It's just that it's a little uncertain when he gets to Yun Yichen, because Yun Yichen is really more cunning than honest enough, the whole palace knows his heart and eyes, and his methods are really a bit unguardable, and now that Brother Yu has fallen into his hands, in addition to the relationship between the two people who once met, there is also the daughter of Brother Yu, and it seems that he is a little afraid to make a conclusion whether he can get through the trick.
Therefore, the Empress Dowager hoped that Yun Pengxi would find a way to take Brother Yu out of the barracks. Because instead of staying by Yun Yichen's side, it is better to bring it out!
It's just that the queen mother and Yun Pengxi didn't expect that because of the eight-hundred-mile rush from the front line, the defenders of the Minhe estuary and Xu Zekun and other reinforcements held on to the Minhe estuary for a few days and did not send troops to meet the battle, which made the commander of the Yan country very angry, and actually used a very primitive siege method, fire attack, from his own position to attack the Minhe estuary city, resulting in a great defeat of the defenders, and the Minhekou was also lost!
And Xu Zekun led the remnants of the defenders to withdraw to the Xizhiying Pass a hundred miles away, waiting for reinforcements to arrive!
The angry emperor issued an order, and let the reinforcements who had just been rectified for a few days immediately set off and rushed to the Xizhi camp overnight! In any case, we must take back the Minhe estuary and Xihai City in the shortest possible time!
So by the time the queen mother and the queen mother understood, Brother Yu had already set off with King Huai'an's vanguard troops overnight to rush to Xizhiying.
The only good news is that Wei Qinian, as the commander of the pioneer battalion, left overnight with the commander of the pioneer battalion, King Huai'an!
Of course, what the Empress Dowager didn't know was that Wei Qinian and King Huai'an only met temporarily after receiving the holy decree, and then the two of them each led a team of people to go to Xizhiying, which was thousands of miles away.
Because of the lessons learned from the previous two times, this time Wei Qinian and Yun Yichen actually proposed to divide two teams of people to go on the road when they made a plan for the expedition after meeting.
One detachment was dominated by cavalry, clearing the way for the chariots and horses carrying grain and grass. A squad of infantry, followed by the grain and grass troops.
And it must be done from beginning to end, not too far apart.
The cavalry was led by Wei Qinian, opening the way in front, and the infantry was led by Yun Yichen, and the troops escorted by grain and grass were cut off!
Wei Qinian didn't see Brother Yu because there were too many people.
Especially the monks.
King Huai'an selected almost all the monks and soldiers into the vanguard army, and the entire vanguard army was full of bright heads, and it was difficult to identify where his jade brother was.
Even if Yang Qing took advantage of the fact that he was discussing the expedition plan with King Huai'an, he walked around the entire army selected by King Huai'an, and did not see the person who made them all very concerned, so he asked a little soldier who seemed to be Yun Yichen's attendant without doubt: "Are all of you all here?" Is there anyone else? ”
The little soldier looked at Yang Qing: "The prince's family is still behind, and that's all there is to it here." ”
"The prince's family? What family? Can you bring your family with you in a war? Yang Qing shouted in confusion.
The little soldier gave him a blank look: "So what? The prince's family is accompanied by a special person. And if you don't delay the war, why can't you bring it? With a look of arrogance, it seems that it is abnormal for their prince not to bring his family.
Yang Qing was choked for a moment, opened his mouth and couldn't speak, so he had to swallow it raw.
Well, he has not been in the barracks for nearly ten years, and he doesn't know that he can still bring his family to the war now!
But it's okay, maybe Brother Yu is there at home.
As long as Brother Yu can go out with King Huai'an, they will have the opportunity to meet.
What Wei Qinian didn't know was that Brother Yu was being disliked by the eunuch Wu Liang in the back at this moment.
"Look at you, a little monk, you know that you are going to go on the expedition with the prince tonight, why don't you buy yourself a new pair of shoes? Do you look at your shoes? I'm about to show my toes, so how can I walk? How can you go on the expedition? Aren't you embarrassing our lord? You ......"
"Where do I buy my shoes?" Otherwise, you go first today, and I will find a place to buy shoes tomorrow and come back to you. Brother Yu, who had been nagged by this eunuch all day, was really unbearable at the moment, so he had to answer like this.
