Chapter 10: Accompanying the Army
One night of enlightenment, when I opened my eyes, the sky was not yet bright, Wei Jie habitually made up for a sleep, although the time of the Heavenly Book seemed to be no different from sleeping, but this sleep was not steady, Wei Jie felt that he should have just fallen asleep, and was awakened by Xiao Song's hurried knock on the door.

"Second young master, second young master, wake up, the master told you to go to the lobby quickly!"
Xiao Song's tone was extremely hurried, and Wei Jie's heart chuckled, "This is something big!" He was already suspicious of Wei Xuan's rejection of Sima Daozi in person yesterday, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he casually put on a piece of clothing and rushed to the lobby.
Wei Xuan, Wei Heng, and Wei Hao were all present, and Wei Xuan and Wei Heng were all dressed in military uniforms, and Wei Jie's mother, Wang, was accompanied by with a worried face.
"What's wrong?" In a hurry, Wei Jie's didn't bother to say hello, and asked directly.
"Jie'er, the former Qin army is going south, Xiangyang is in an emergency, Zhonglang will send Zhu Xu 800 li urgent document to request the imperial court to send troops to support, and your father and I will lead the army to help defend the city!" Wei Yan said in a deep voice, his anxiety overflowing.
Wei Jie's heart chuckled, not long after the New Year, it is now the beginning of the fourth year of Taiyuan, and Xiangyang was attacked by Fu Pi and Murong Chui and Yao Chang and others this year.
"Grandpa, you can't go to Xiangyang!" In a hurry, Wei Jie's voice was lost.
"Protecting the territory and defending the land is the duty of my Dajin soldiers, not to mention that the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, how can there be no reason not to go, even if it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, my Wei family children must also work hard and move forward bravely!" Wei Wei said unhappily, knowing in his heart that this trip was dangerous, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to return, Wei Jie was also concerned about his grandfather, so he could only sigh.
"I have discussed with your father and brother, grandfather Lanling's title is inherited by you, if this expedition, I die on the battlefield, you will directly inherit the title, if I can return victorious, grandpa will personally organize the inheritance ceremony for you!"
"Grandpa, yesterday you only refused Sima Daozi to join forces to deal with the Xie family, and today you received the emperor's order to go on the expedition, which must be Sima Daozi's conspiracy to deal with you, Xiangyang has been besieged for a year, and seeing that the city is about to be broken, if you go at this time, you will be sent to death! This is the conspiracy of Sima Daozi's father and son! Wei Jie's heart was sure that Xiangyang City could not be defended, and if Wei Heng really went, the possibility of survival was extremely small.
"Needless to say, Xiangyang is a must! Noise, the seniority is still shallow, and you still need to take care of the big and small affairs in the family, and I will try my best to assist your younger brother in the future, and I will protect the family! Wei Wei said earnestly as if he had finished speaking, picked up the saber on the table, and walked towards the door without looking back.
Wei Heng glanced at his two sons deeply, stopped talking, and kept up with Wei Heng's footsteps without looking back.
Wang sobbed in a low voice, landed on his knees, knelt down to say goodbye to his husband, Wei Noise also knelt down, it seemed that Wei Jie's mind was a little distracted, in fact, his brain was running rapidly, he couldn't watch the father and son go to Xiangyang to die, he must come up with a solution!
"Mother, I want to go to Xiangyang with my grandfather and father!"
In Wang's stunned, Wei Jie hurried back to his room to change his clothes, and told Xiao Song to take good care of his mother, so he hurriedly chased out to catch up with Wei Heng's team that had already pulled out of the camp.
"What did your brother say just now?" It wasn't until the back of the guard stepped into the gate that Wang came back to his senses and asked uncertainly.
"He said he was going to Xiangyang with his grandfather!" Wei Noise replied in a low voice.
"What?!" Wang screamed.
"Is he crazy? Why don't you hold him! Are you going to watch your brother go to his death? ”
"I..."
"Xiao Song, Xiao Song, go quickly, go and pull the second young master back!" Wang stumbled under his feet, so he could only beckon Xiao Song and ask him to hurry up and chase the guard back.
The sky was just white, and although Wei Heng set off only half a day earlier than him, because it was a rapid march, Wei Jie hurried for an hour, and he couldn't see any trace of the army.
Along the way, he is still thinking about ways to solve this dead end, although the idea is not particularly clear, but there is already a rough outline, Xiangyang will definitely not be able to keep, but you can use the loss of Xiangyang to lay the groundwork for the future, to make a foreshadowing, and the details can only be planned after seeing Wei Heng.
From Jiankang to Xiangyang, the straight-line distance is more than a thousand miles, even if it is a rapid march, if you want to reach Xiangyang, it will take at least a month, Wei Jie's belief that with this month's time, he will definitely be able to work out a perfect solution, provided that he has to catch up with the army quickly.
"I said, Young Master Wei, can't you usually exercise and exercise? What are you doing with all these broken parts? Wei Jie rubbed his sore calves, and couldn't help but complain secretly in his heart.
The Wei Rank in history has been known for his frailty, and now he has a personal experience, and it is estimated that he has walked more than ten miles in this hour, and there is already a feeling of being unsustainable, just when the Wei Rank is angry, Xiao Song's hurried shouts came from behind him.
"Second Young Master, wait for me!"
"Why are you here! Didn't you ask you to take good care of my mother at home? Wei Jie's frown and asked!
"Madame said that you are going to die, let me pull you back!" Komatsu's physical strength seems to be much stronger than that of the Wei Rank, and when he comes to the Wei Rank at this moment, he looks much calmer in comparison.
"I can't watch them die, I have to find a way to kill them! Since you are here, don't go back, you run fast, hurry up and catch up with my grandfather and them, let them wait for me in front, I have something important to discuss with them! ”
"My second young master, my lord, they are from a military background, and now they are marching urgently, don't say it's you, even if I have the strength to eat milk, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up, let's go back!" Komatsu said with a bitter face.
"Okay, let's go back! That barbed whip in my room has been useless for a long time, it's all dusty, it's time to see it again! Hearing this, Wei Jie's steps stopped, and he was about to turn around and walk back.
Xiao Song subconsciously trembled all over, and hurriedly said: "Don't, Second Young Master, I know that there is a post station not far ahead, with your identity, there should be no problem in borrowing two horses, with horses to travel, we should be able to catch up with the old man!" ”
If you want to say that you are afraid, Komatsu is most afraid of the Wei Rank!
"So what are you waiting for?!"
However, Wei Jie, Xiao Song, both of them could not ride horses, the horses were successfully borrowed, and after getting on the horse, they realized that riding a horse was not a simple matter, and the two of them took a lot of effort to conquer the two well-trained war horses under the crotch, and by the time they saw the formation of Wei Wei's army, it was already nightfall.
"I've seen the second son of Wei, the Duke of Lanling and Lord Wei Hengwei have already taken the first step, and they are no longer in the army!"
After the ceremony, a general-like person came to Wei Jie, although he called him the second son of his life, his expression was disapproving.
"What? When did they leave? "Wei Jie's mother wants to scold his mother, there are still people in the world who are in such a hurry to send them to death!
"After the army pulled out of the camp, the two generals led five thousand light cavalry to take the lead and rushed to Xiangyang to support, and the remaining foot soldiers were commanded by the last general..."
"Alright, alright, I'm not interested in the rest, I just want to know if I can catch up with them!" The upset Wei Jie, a little impatiently, interrupted the chatter of the lieutenant general, when is it, still talking about these haves and haves!
"Back to the second son, I'm afraid I can't! The two generals traveled lightly, and they were all light horsemen who were good at taking mountain roads, and they were afraid that they would be able to reach Xiangyang in half a month, and we would need at least a month! ”
"The general's surname?" The wood is already in the boat, and he and Komatsu are absolutely unable to go on the road alone to chase Wei Yu and the others who can't even see the shadow, and now they can only be patient and rush to Xiangyang with the army.
"The last general Liu Gaozhi!"
Liu Gaozhi was born in a poor family, and among the high-ranking families, except for those with outstanding military achievements, he didn't pay attention to ordinary people at all, let alone Wei Jie, a milky kid, who was not dry, it was not that he was the descendant of his top boss, he didn't even bother to pay attention to it!
"Liu Gaozhi?" Wei Jie's surprise, shouldn't this Liu Gaozhi follow Xie Xuan to fight in Beifu? Why did he become a deputy general under his grandfather, could it be that the current Liu Gaozhi has not yet been voted under Xie Xuan?
"Childe knows the last general?"
Wei Jie's reaction surprised Liu Gaozhi a little, he has been in the army for more than ten years, and he has not made any outstanding military exploits until today, and his reputation is not obvious!
