Chapter 261: Leaving the Camp
(Thanks to the reader "Environmental Engineer" for the red tip.) )
The long-awaited news finally came, but Ning Baoguan didn't dare to believe it easily, "King Wu is scheming, you can't enter the Eastern Capital lightly, you need to stay for a while." ”
Guo Shifeng couldn't advance or retreat, so he had to stay and give advice to King Ning, and secretly help King Wu: "If you think about it carefully, it is indeed King Wu who arranged for me to take this route, which is quite suspicious. ”
Ning Baoguan sneered, ordered to set off the next day, rushed to the eastern capital at dusk, called the door in the name of the descending army, and if it was fruitless, he would set up a cloud ladder to climb the city.
Guo Shifeng's "secret help" played the opposite role.
He was a calm man, and after trying all the methods he could think of, he had no worries in his heart, and stayed in the tent and drank alcohol, pondering over and over again who he should go to after this battle.
Someone came in uninvited, Guo Shifeng was startled at first, and then smiled: "What a coincidence, Lord Fei is also here." ”
Fei Xun arched his hand and said: "I heard that Mr. Guo was captured, and I never had the opportunity to come and visit. ”
Guo Shifeng pointed to a few drinks and dishes on the table, and said with a smile: "There is food and drink, such a 'captured' is unbelievable." ”
Fei Yu said: "Why is Mr. Guo not in a hurry? ”
"I've been in a hurry, but I can't imagine that King Ning's ruthlessness is the biggest nemesis of a strategist like me. I can only watch from the sidelines to see how King Wu responds to this catastrophe, maybe he has been prepared and really set a trap in the eastern capital. ”
"What if you don't prepare? King Ning had no intention of sticking to the eastern capital, but was angry that the city had been taken away by King Wu, so he insisted on attacking the city. This time when he enters the city, he will inevitably kill and plunder, loot grain and grass, and the people of the eastern capital will ......"
Guo Shifeng waved his hand, "Huti Dongdu people, I don't know them, and I have no intention of meddle with their affairs." As for King Ning, Lord Fei also knows his temper, so I don't dare to brush the tiger's whiskers. ”
Fei Yu sighed and was silent.
In order to break the embarrassment, Guo Shifeng said: "Lord Fei is here to protect the Queen Mother, not to join King Ning's gang, right?" ”
"Of course not." Fei Yu raised his eyebrows, and then sighed again.
"Hehe, King Ning actually showed mercy to Lord Fei's subordinates, which can be regarded as a miracle."
"It's the Queen Mother who doesn't allow King Ning to kill me. Alas, I thought I was here to protect the Queen Mother, but I ended up being protected by her. ”
"That's fine, Lord Fei can at least rest assured."
"How can you feel at ease?" Fei Xun showed indignation, "Queen Mother, she ...... The Queen Mother ...... "He couldn't say anything."
"The Queen Mother is out of order?" Guo Shifeng was not surprised.
"Even Mr. Guo has heard of it?"
"You don't have to hear about it, you can guess it. King Ning killed back to the Eastern Capital and robbed the Queen Mother, presumably not to provide for him. The Queen Mother assassinated the general in the camp, and seemed to have the intention of martyrdom with death, and after being taken away by King Ning, there has been no news of suicide. ”
Fei Xin shook his head as he listened, "After all, it's a woman." ”
"What does she do? It's time for Lord Fei to think about it. ”
"But after all, she is the queen mother, and I have the grace to be promoted."
Guo Shifeng said with a smile: "At that time, all the officials in the Eastern Capital ran out, and only Lord Fei was left, and it is said that Lord Fei personally entered the palace to win a position as a city protector, which is also the grace of 'knowing and promoting'?" ”
"Count." Fei Xun replied in the most affirmative and unquestionable way.
Guo Shifeng smiled, "Lord Fei will have a hard time in the future." ”
"Yes, it is rumored that Mr. Guo gave an idea to King Ning and suggested that he take the Queen Mother to Jiangdong to join Emperor Tiancheng, yes or no?"
"Uh...... I may have made a start, the idea was thought up by King Ning himself, what is obvious, the Queen Mother is so useful, who wouldn't have thought of it? ”
"King Ning can't think of it." Fei Xun said coldly.
Guo Shifeng was a little embarrassed, and immediately covered up the past with laughter, "But this is a good thing for the Queen Mother after all, she can return to the emperor and reunite mother and son." ”
"Mother and son are captives."
"No, King Ning only brings a few thousand people, and the Liang and Lan families control Stone City, so they won't let it out."
"The Liang and Lan families are alone in Stone City, and anyone who goes to defect will go out of the city to greet them, not to mention that King Ning led an army in the name of Emperor Qin? If the two could see the danger, they would not have easily lost the Eastern Capital in the first place. ”
"Hehe, Lord Fei was really hurt by the two families. is still the same sentence, maybe King Wu has been prepared and set a trap in the eastern capital, and King Ning has no return, and everything will be solved. ”
"It's not that simple."
Guo Shifeng's patience ran out, "Whether it's simple or complicated, it's all the same with me - there's nothing to do." Wouldn't it be better for Mr. Fei to sit down, let's drink and talk about articles, and ignore the affairs of the world? ”
Fei Yu did sit down, but he didn't drink, and he didn't want to talk about the article, "I also know that King Ning is stubborn and difficult to persuade, and he has to resign himself to fate in the matter of sneaking up on the Eastern Capital, but the Queen Mother can't stay here anymore and must be taken away." ”
"The Queen Mother has lost her temper anyway......"
"Forced to lose moderation, although there are flaws, but there are extenuating circumstances, you and I can't sit idly by."
"I think this is an acceptable fate for the Queen Mother......"
Fei Xun's eyes widened, and Guo Shifeng immediately changed his words: "The Queen Mother is the Queen Mother after all, there should be a better place to go." ”
"Yes, Mr. Guo......"
"But it has nothing to do with me, I am not a citizen of Tiancheng for a long time, and I am not qualified to worry about the safety of the Queen Mother, not to mention that I myself am also difficult to protect. Jiangdong Road is far away, the emperor is alone in a city, and the Liang and Lan families are like that, even if Lord Fei sends the queen mother, I am afraid it will be ......"
"Koto? I didn't say go to Koto. ”
"The Queen Mother's son is in Jiangdong, if you don't go there, where else can the Queen Mother stay?"
"Yecheng."
Guo Shifeng let out a long sigh and said with a smile: "Lord Fei is really a road to the dark, and after staying in the Jizhou military camp for a few days, he wants to go to Yecheng." ”
Fei Xun said: "It has nothing to do with this. The emperor is in Jiangdong, which should be the best place for the queen mother, but Liang and Lan are in power, and Stone Town will become the second eastern capital sooner or later, and we can't outrun King Ning. Jiangdong can't go, and the second place is Yecheng, because ......"
"The Empress Dowager is in Yecheng?"
"That's right."
Guo Shifeng shook his head, "At this time, Lord Fei still hasn't forgotten the orthodoxy, I really don't know what to say." I wish you all the best for Lord Fei. ”
"Mr. Guo has to go to Yecheng with me."
"I'm not going, I'm a minister of King Wu......"
"But it fell into the hands of King Ning, and all the people he brought were killed, even if he had the opportunity to escape back to King Wu, it was in vain, why not go to Yecheng with me, make some merits, and then go to see King Wu is not too late."
"Huh." Guo Shifeng was a little moved, his task was to persuade the Sheng family in Huaizhou, but now that he has lost his entourage and gifts, it is useless to go to Huaizhou alone, and Yecheng has his acquaintances, who may really be able to make a contribution, and will not be too embarrassed in front of King Wu.
"King Ning will set off tomorrow with his troops, and the opportunity to escape is at this time." Fei Xun persuaded.
"Good...... Let's go to Yecheng, King Kening will go on an expedition, maybe he will take me away......"
"No, King Ning will raid the Eastern Capital, bent on speed, and will never waste a horse with a strategist, you and I will be left in the camp."
"King Ning doesn't have many horses, and there are many soldiers left in the camp, right?"
"Yes, that's why I came to see Mr. Guo?"
"Fei Daren means ......"
"Please Mr. Guo come up with an idea and take the Queen Mother to escape from here."
"It turns out that Master Fei still has no way?"
"If I have a way, why should I come to Mr. Guo?" Fei Yu is more straightforward.
Guo Shifeng smiled bitterly, and only after a while did he say: "It's difficult, it's really difficult, unless you ......"
"Unless what?"
"The Queen Mother's words, King Ning will listen?"
"Not all of them."
"Can Lord Fei see the Queen Mother?"
"I can't see it, but I can talk through the curtain."
"Can you get rid of outsiders?"
"Yes, King Ning has no precautions against me."
Fei Xin is an old man, and he has a reputation for being upright, so of course Ning Baoguan will not be wary of him.
"Okay, please ask Master Fei to see the Queen Mother, and let her cry to King Ning tonight, saying that the soldiers in the camp are dissatisfied with King Ning's heavy color, and often have the intention of killing the Queen Mother."
"Ning Jun is indeed dissatisfied, especially those generals, King Ning has long known it, what's the point of crying?"
"Let King Ning be angry and upset, before he sets off with his troops tomorrow, he will definitely issue a death order to the soldiers who stay in the camp, and no one is allowed to alarm the Queen Mother, so that we will have a chance to escape."
"Mr. Guo is saying that the Queen Mother can leave the camp publicly?"
Guo Shifeng nodded, "With the ruthlessness of King Ning, if he gives a death order, no one will dare to stop the Queen Mother." ”
"What if King Kening gives a death order at the same time and does not allow the Queen Mother to leave?"
"There is no perfect plan in the world, and if this is the case, we can only accept our fate. But I guess King Ning will not suspect the Queen Mother, who has lost her discipline with him, and has no intention of assassinating......"
Fei Yu thought about it and felt that although Guo Shifeng's plan was not a clever plan, he could at least give it a try, so he got up and said, "Okay, that's the only way, I'll go and persuade the Queen Mother." ”
Guo Shifeng continued to drink and felt that Yecheng was also a good place to go.
On the morning of the next day, Ning Baoguan really summoned the generals and asked them to swear in public that they would treat the Empress Dowager Luan as King Ning herself, and would never have bad intentions, and if they violated it, how to do it.
Ning Baoguan took all the most violent generals with him, set off before noon, less than a thousand soldiers and horses, his plan was to mix into the eastern capital, occupy it, and ascend to the city was a last resort.
Fei Yu came to Guo Shifeng again, "Okay?" ”
"Yes, let the Queen Mother find an excuse to leave the camp."
"The Queen Mother is going to the intersection to pay tribute to her parents."
"It's a good excuse not to let the soldiers follow."
"They don't dare to follow, but we can't go far, and the soldiers in the battalion can't see anyone, so they will still chase after them."
"The Queen Mother took a carriage out of the camp, stopped at the intersection, and left the attendants, let's help the Queen Mother get on the horse, take advantage of the camp is not ready, go east first, and then turn north, if you can meet the Jizhou army on the way, everything will be fine."
"Good. Many of the Lou family's children and grandchildren are locked up in the camp, do you want to take them? ”
"The general is dead, King Wu doesn't recognize Lou's surname, take them to cause trouble, don't want any of them."
Fei Xin felt that it made sense and said goodbye and left.
It was almost dusk, Fei Xun came again, this time for the queen to ask Mr. Guo, who is "familiar with yin and yang", to preside over the ceremony.
The intersection was not far from the camp, and the soldiers who stayed behind did not stop it and let the queen mother out.
There were four of the Queen Mother's maids left, and they followed together.
When they arrived at the intersection, the maid burned paper and incense, and Guo Shifeng pretended to dance and glanced at Fei Xin.
Fei Xun walked to the front of the car and talked with the Queen Mother, it didn't seem to be going well, her voice became lower and lower, and it took a while to walk back, with a look of frustration and disappointment.
"How?" Guo Shifeng asked, turning his head to look at the camp, the twilight was blank, and it was most appropriate to escape at this time.
"The Queen Mother refuses to leave."
"Huh?"
"The Queen Mother is willing to stay with King Ning."
"Woman." Guo Shifeng could only say, "Then why did she leave the camp?" ”
"The Queen Mother asked us to go, and she relieved me of all my official positions. I've done everything I need to do and can do, and it's time to leave. Without the drag of the Queen Mother, the two of us can still walk faster. ”
"I'll stay too." Guo Shifeng said, even he himself was surprised by this sentence.
"What?"
"If the Queen Mother stays, King Ning has great hope of seizing Jiangdong, and I will at least follow to see the result."
Fei Yu was extremely surprised, and finally spit out only two words: "Strategist." ”
"Lord Fei can't stay, King Ning will kill you sooner or later."
Fei Xin sighed, didn't want a horse, didn't say goodbye, just walked away, only to feel that the world was so big, there was no place for himself, and there were no like-minded people.
