Chapter 35: Mood (continued)

In the early hours of the morning, Shaoling, the post house, where the Son of Heaven was stationed, Yuwen Weicheng closed his eyes and hummed, as if he was talking in a dream, Yu Chi Chifan patted his son gently, muttering nursery rhymes, thinking about things.

The mother and son had slept well tonight, but for some reason Wei Chi Chifan suddenly felt palpitations, and then woke up and tossed and turned for a while before falling asleep in a daze.

It didn't take long for Yuwen Weicheng to suddenly talk in a dream, his hands were scratched, as if he had a nightmare, and Wei Chi Chifan, who had been sleeping lightly, woke up again and hurriedly coaxed his son to sleep.

The son is still young and doesn't understand anything, so Wei Chi Chifan thinks that he should have had a strange dream, not like her, because he misses his husband, which leads to thinking about it day and night.

Somehow, she felt that something had happened in the Hanging City, and when she wanted to get up and go out to look, she remembered that she was not in Beidaying.

If it is in Beidaying, then the distance between Yu Chi Chifan and Yuwen Wen is not more than a few miles, although they can't meet, but at such a distance, Yu Chi Chifan will feel better, because she can know what her husband's situation is.

The official army attacked the city, and the movement was very loud, she could vaguely hear it in the palace, and as long as there was no tidal cheer, it meant that the official army did not attack the Hanging Gourd City, which meant that Yuwenwen was fine.

Every morning, Wei Chi Chifan will silently listen to the movement in the direction of the Hanging Fortress City, and he can relax at sunset, because he knows that the official army has not invaded the city, and Yuwenwen has spent a day safely, which is her 'daily life' of bitterness.

And now, leaving the Hanging Gun and going north, I can no longer feel the safety of the Hanging Gourd, and I can't know the situation of my husband, that feeling is like being blindfolded and walking in the corridor, because I don't know when I will hit the pillars, and I feel worried.

Her uncle Wei Chi Dan, who suffered from wind and cold because of falling into the water, was not seriously ill, and attended the ceremony on the first day, but his condition suddenly deteriorated a few days ago, and the high fever did not go away, and he was unconscious.

Wind and cold, can be big or small, if it turns into tuberculosis, it is a terminal disease, even if Hua Tuo is alive, it can't be cured, Wei Chi Chifan thought of this, and his mother Wang was as worried, so he didn't have any opinion on setting off north immediately.

Of course, no one will really take their opinions seriously.

As the prime minister, Wei Chidun is the actual head of the imperial court, and his safety is very important, so his illness is not open to the public.

The related matters related to the attack on the hanging gourd were borne by the generals, and the seriously ill Wei Chi Dan returned to Yecheng, and Wang went to visit the sick, and said that the condition was not optimistic after returning, and it was not clear whether he would be infected with tuberculosis, and Wei Chi Chi could only pray for his uncle's safety.

Uncle and her father Wei Chishun are not brothers of the same birth, in fact, the relationship is not good, Wei Chi Chifan himself is separated from her husband because of her uncle, and may never see each other again, of course she is not happy in her heart.

But she is no longer the ignorant Wei Chi Sanniang of the past, she knows that the safety of the family is linked to the safety of her uncle, if her uncle is seriously ill and dies, the family will inevitably have infighting.

What will be the outcome of the family standing at the pinnacle of power, after the infighting, Yu Wenwen said it to her when she chatted, so even if the mood is complicated at this time, Wei Chi Chifan really hopes that his uncle can get through it.

That's all she can do, her son is made the new king, he is a puppet, and her mother and son are like being under house arrest, and the mud bodhisattva crossing the river is difficult to protect herself, and how much can she worry about other things.

Yuwen Weicheng stopped humming and turned over comfortably, Yu Chi Chifan saw that his son was asleep, put aside the clothes he was wearing, covered the futon and fell asleep, and slept next to his son.

Yuwen Weicheng turned over again, from lying on his side to lying on his back, Wei Chi Chifan looked at the outline of the side of his son's face, and couldn't help but think of Yuwen Wen, for a while he had mixed feelings, and his eyes were a little blurry.

She prayed in her heart: it should be okay....

。。。。。

"Night Raid... Night Raid... Didn't the official repeatedly tell you to be careful, how to be..."

Cui Zishu, who was on the verge of an outbreak, clenched his right hand into a fist, trembling slightly, wanting to smash the bookcase, but finally held back, and the soldiers who were ordered to rush from the Beida camp outside the city to deliver the news lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

The prime minister was seriously ill and fell into a coma, and only occasionally regained his senses, so at this time, his henchman Cui Zishu was in charge of the overall situation, but he had to return to Yecheng with the Son of Heaven and the prime minister, so the matter of attacking the hanging gourd was handed over to several generals to be responsible.

Before leaving, he babbled and explained many precautions like an old woman, one of which was to ask the major battalions to put stability first, even if they had an absolute advantage in troops, they could not take it lightly.

The result? It was actually attacked by the enemy at night, and the other party attacked the Beida camp, and the granary was burned down by a fire!

Cui Zishu was in Shaoling, after hearing the news, his head was blank, he really couldn't think of any words to describe his mood at this moment, the battle was all over this, what else could he say?

Attack, can't attack, defend, can't hold the camp, Beida Camp has become a latrine, the enemy can come and go as soon as he wants.

It is clear that your own side is the attacker, and it is clear that your own side is besieging the hanging gourd with more than ten times the superiority of troops, but now it is being beaten by the other side and the offensive and defensive forces are changing, is the official army too incompetent or the other party too powerful?

Cui Zishu didn't say a word, and the generals on the side didn't know what to say, because according to the reports of these soldiers, there were two groups of enemy soldiers attacking the Beida camp, and the enemy soldiers in the Hanging Fortress City attacked the south side of the camp, and another group of enemy soldiers attacked from the east side.

The hanging gourd was firmly locked by a long enclosure and a trench, so that the enemy army attacking from the east side had come from elsewhere, and according to all circumstances, the enemy force could only achieve such a tactic through the chasm.

How is this possible?

The generals had surveyed the terrain around the Hanging Gourd on the spot and knew the situation in the gap, and the enemy reinforcements who had arrived at the southern outskirts of the Hanging Gourd suddenly retreated, and they felt that they could not take it lightly, for fear that the other side would divide their troops in a roundabout way, but there was no terrain around the Hanging Gourd that was suitable for the team to sneak around.

In the Hongxipi area, there are dozens of large and small ponds, there are not many roads, there are tidal flats and reeds everywhere, and it is impossible for the cavalry to take advantage of this detour, if it is infantry...

The weather is cold, the river water is bitterly cold, how long can the infantry walking on foot in the reeds and tidal flats survive?

The gap is northwest from the southeast, located in the east of the Hanging Gourd City, stretching for three or four hundred miles, if the enemy enters the city from its southern end, to reach the east of the Beidaying, the distance is more than 100 miles.

Walking in such a place on foot is already a very difficult thing, and it is basically impossible for the enemy army to take advantage of this detour and achieve the purpose of surprise attack in a short period of time.

Everyone thinks so, but it still happened, and what else can be said about it now?

"What about the casualties?"

"I don't know the exact casualties... However, many people fled in the night, and after the enemy retreated and the day was over, they returned to the camp one after another, and when they came to Shaoling, there were probably nearly 10,000 casualties. ”

"How's the camp going?"

"The camp fence on the south and east sides of the camp was destroyed, but the long fence and ditch on the south side were not damaged much, and the camp area on the east side of Rushui was seriously damaged, the palace was burned by the rebels, and there were granaries..."

When it comes to the burning of the granary, everyone's heart aches, the Beida camp was attacked, even if the number of direct casualties exceeded 10,000, the total strength of the officers and soldiers was still very large, but the grain and grass were burned, how to fight the next battle?

Thinking of this, everyone doesn't know whether to rejoice or regret, if the prime minister is not seriously ill, then he will not return north, and the Son of Heaven will not leave with him, so that the six rates of the forbidden army and the escort team are all in Beidaying, so can the enemy's night attack achieve such results?

In other words, if the prime minister and the Son of Heaven are still in the northern camp, once the enemy army rushes in, it will also be very dangerous, because it is said that among the enemy soldiers who attacked the camp that night, some people claimed to be the king of Xiyang.

This mad dog, it seems that he is in the Hanging City, as soon as the madness comes up, he will bite when he catches someone, in case something happens to the prime minister in the chaos of the army, or the Son of Heaven is taken away by Yuwenwen, what should I do?

Therefore, after the civil and military officials in Shaoling learned the bad news of the attack on the Beidaying, they really didn't know whether to rejoice or regret it.

Shao Ling, both inside and outside, is heavily guarded, and is not afraid of someone sneaking up, but now, they must make a decision: whether to let the prime minister know about this news.

Cui Zishu, as the prime minister's confidant, is now in a tangled mood, the prime minister is seriously ill, and his energy is not good, if he is stimulated and his condition deteriorates seriously, what should he do?
