Chapter 689: The Great War is Imminent
When Lu Yun sent Huangfu Xuan away, it was already sunset, and it was too late to rush back to Luodu City. He then turned his horse and headed southwest, preparing to spend the night at the Money Villa, so that he could see the full moon before the big event started.
As soon as he crossed Longmen Mountain, he saw a carriage parked alone on the side of the road, and there seemed to be a heartbreaking sound of the guqin coming from the carriage.
At this time, it was already dark, and the pedestrians on the avenue were extinct, so this scene was naturally a little strange.
However, at this juncture, Lu Yun was not interested in meddling in things, so he was about to cross the carriage and continue to move forward.
Who knows, but in the carriage, a woman sang like a cry:
"After a farewell, the two places hang in the balance. It's only March and April, and who knows five or six years. The lyre is played without intention, the eight-line book is not transmitted, the nine rings are broken from it, and the ten-mile long pavilion wants to be pierced. Hundreds of thoughts, thousands of thoughts, all kinds of helplessness to complain about Lang ......"
Lu Yun reined in his horse when he heard the sound, revealing an expression of disbelief, and as soon as the woman finished singing, he flew to the front of the carriage, opened the curtain and said in surprise: "Sleeves!" Why are you here! ”
In the carriage, sitting in front of the lyre, it was really Su Yingsleeve, who had brought disaster to the country and the people, only to see her pouting and complaining: "Yes, the slave family shouldn't be here, and it is in the way of the princess to meet the big and small lovers......"
Before she finished speaking, she was hugged by Lu Yun and pressed into the carriage......
。
It wasn't until the sky was full of stars that Lu Yun came out of the carriage with Su Yingsleeve in his arms.
"You, you are also the master of a sect...... Su Ying's sleeves were full of charm, leaning on Lu Yun's arms softly, and pretending to be angry: "Why do you come hard without saying a word?" ”
"Don't you like it?" Lu Yun sighed and said, "Then next time, I'll ask the sect master first." ”
"I hate it, people like it." Su Yingsleeve pinched Lu Yun, and the embarrassing love words between husband and wife did not disappear. The two got tired of it for a while before they got to the point.
"How did you find it?"
"The three of us went to Lufang to look for you, and I heard that you went out of the city to send the eldest prince. After a while, you know that you definitely don't plan to go back to the city. Su Yingsleeve said sourly: "Have you already made up your mind that you are going to the villa for the night tonight?" ”
"It smells so vinegary." Lu Yun smiled helplessly: "Isn't it thanks to you?" ”
"It's cheap and good, now you know that I didn't cheat you, right?" Su Yingsleeve is not a stingy person, it's just that Shang Luojia has a child, which makes her feel a little crisis.
But she also knew that a big gamble that put everyone on the table was half a month later. At this time, you must stay focused and serious in order to meet the upcoming decisive battle in the best condition. After a little teasing for a while, she asked with a straight face, "How's the preparation here?" ”
"When you arrive, all the people will be together." Lu Yun said with a bitter face when he heard this: "But my father's side, I searched all over the treasure house and didn't find that formation diagram. ”
"Oh, my father-in-law won't be able to find it." I saw Su Yingsleeve smiling and taking out a sheepskin roll from his sleeve and said, "Because I went in last time, I took the sheep out." ”
"Then why didn't you tell me?" Lu Yun took the parchment scroll, and took a look at it by the moonlight, and sure enough, it was the formation diagram of the 'Twelve Heavens Dry Great Array' that had been replaced as a fake.
"You didn't ask me." Su Yingsleeve sat on the wheel, and gently kicked back and forth with her feet. No matter how she reminded herself to be nervous, as soon as she returned to Lu Yun's side, she still involuntarily showed her little daughter's attitude.
"Okay, okay, let's go back, we're running out of time!" Lu Yun rolled the sheepskin into his arms, hugged Su Ying's sleeve, jumped on horseback, and ran towards Luodu City.
The Great Grandmaster really wanted to enter the city, and the walls of Luodu City couldn't stop it.
。
After the August Festival, Luodu City enters autumn overnight, the golden phoenix is cool, the jade dew is cool, the osmanthus is fragrant, and the city is golden. The prince and grandson, who had been hiding from the summer heat, began to invite friends and set up banquets to play. The common people also finished the autumn harvest and were able to enjoy a good time before the winter.
The entire city of Luodu was leisurely, and none of the princes and people could imagine that a great war was imminent.
Forty miles north of Luoyang City, the Yellow River Mengjin North Ferry.
On the docks, all the civilian boats were gone, replaced by hundreds of wide flat-bottomed boats.
Thousands of soldiers dressed in the colors of the common people's uniforms connected the flat-bottomed boats end to end with iron chains, and the tinkling was in full swing.
Several generals with swords on their shoulders, surrounded by an old man dressed as an outsider, patrolled the docks.
"Marshal Qiqi, the ten miles on both sides of Mengjin have been cleared, and there are no living creatures left." A general reported in a deep voice.
That old man is actually Pei Jiao, the commander of the Zhenbei Army!
"Well, strengthen your vigilance, and you must not leak the slightest rumor." Pei Jiao's expression was calm, but his heart was full of anxiety. The 200,000-strong army was already in place, and only a few miles behind him were lurking in the reeds.
Pei Valve has already taken the lead in making a bet, and there must be no mistakes before the cup is opened!
"When will the pontoon be finished?" Pei Jiao asked again.
"By the time it gets dark, all four pontoons should be complete." The general in charge of the bridge hurriedly replied.
"Should?" Pei Jiao glared at the general sternly and said, "I let you practice for half a year, and now tell me that you should?" If you can't finish it before dark, I'll cut off your head! ”
"The last general will keep an eye on it, and the task will be completed before dark." The general was so frightened that he hurriedly crawled to the river and built a pontoon bridge with a flat-bottomed boat.
"Give me the strength to feed, I can't finish it before dark, it's all a dead end!"
Pei Jiao frowned, looked at Pei Yukou who came from Luodu to contact him, and ordered in a deep voice: "You go back and tell the lord that the army will cross the river as soon as it gets dark, and the river crossing will be completed before dawn, and the forward battalion will definitely arrive in Luodu City before noon tomorrow!" ”
"Okay, father, be careful." After Pei Du sharpened for more than half a year, Pei Yukou was much calmer than before, nodded and immediately jumped on a fast boat to cross the river.
After watching his son's figure disappear on the other side of the river, Pei Jiao withdrew his gaze and continued to patrol. At this point, there are no more to take care of, so everyone can only do their part, and the rest is left to fate.
。
When Pei Yukou returned to Luodu, the city gate had been closed, but he didn't want to enter the city at all, but directly turned his horse and went to Xidaying.
In the western camp, Pei Du rewarded the three armies tonight, full of big fish and meat, but only he was not allowed to eat and drink.
In the armory, Pei Valve's subordinates brought out bundles of knives, guns, and arrows, and piled them up outside the storeroom waiting for the well-fed soldiers to come and collect them.
The soldiers outside feasted, but in the big tent of the Chinese army, the leaders of the Pei Lords looked grim, facing the model of Luodu City in the center, listening to Pei Du's deep voice to arrange tomorrow's tasks.
