Ying Xian pulled Ying Xian to the door of the temple, and the two sat on the threshold together. The night is full of wind, and the mournful tone of the old trees in the alley plays a sparse shadow on the ground. The stars in the sky are circulating, and they have inadvertently turned out the vicissitudes of ten thousand years. Yingxue looked at the night sky from afar and said softly: "Our father is called Shang and Yi, and our mother is Zeng Peiqin." The pei of the jade pendant, the qin of the yaoqin. ”

"Hmm."

"Twenty-three years ago, the father of Tongzhi, the governor of the official residence, was sent by the imperial court to guard Pingxu, an important town in the southwest border, as the chief soldier, and hung the seal of the general of Zhenxi. In the four years on the ground, he reorganized the troops, trained the soldiers, managed the tuntian, grain and grass, and governed the Pingxu area in an orderly manner. Not only did foreign enemies dare not attack, but there were also deserters from all over the country who admired the name of their father. Gradually, Pingxu developed into a famous capital in the southwest. Unexpectedly, the court became suspicious of his father, thinking that he had military power in his hands and sufficient money and food, so he was suspected of seeking to establish himself on his own. So he sent a senior official named Jia Rui to take his place, and only let his father serve as this person's lieutenant general. The civil and military forces in the army are under Jia Rui's control. Hmph, it was this Jia Rui who not only killed his father and mother, but also harmed 200,000 people in Pingxu City......"

"Ah...... It turned out that my father and mother were dead. ”

"Die early! In this world, we are each other's only relatives. ”

Yingxian's heart twitched, and she asked, "Listen to my sister, it should be nineteen years since my father and mother died?" ”

"Yes, it was still the Xinyou year. Speaking of which, it was also his last year as emperor. The following year, he died, passing the throne to the current son. ”

With Yingxue's sad narration, a dusty history slowly unfolded in front of Yingxian's eyes. What is the background of the two? Nineteen years ago, what kind of tragedy happened? If people can really travel through the time tunnel and go back to the past, can they prevent the tragedy from happening?

*****

Yu Guo? June of the fifteenth year of Xinyou? Pingxu Vice Admiral's Mansion.

The weather was hot, the cicadas were noisy, and Zeng Peiqin, who was about to give birth, was panicked in her chest, so she paced from the bedroom to the living room with a big belly, pruning the pale red acacia in the flower pots, and waiting for Shang and Yi to return from the deliberations of the General Military Mansion. But when her eyes touched Shang Heyi's worried face, she knew that the situation was not good, and couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Is Jia Rui embarrassed you again?" ”

Shang Youyi hurriedly hugged his wife and motioned for her to sit down. handed over a cup of tea, reached out and touched Peiqin's belly, and said, "I don't know when this child was born." Madame, you should pay more attention to rest. After all, Zeng Peiqin couldn't help urging again and again, so he said: "Now, there are some things that have to be told to Mrs. The recent conflict between Li and Geng, can Mrs. hear a thing or two? ”

"I only heard that half a month ago, Geng Guo was moved by Qu Guo and sent troops south, wanting to attack the eastern capital of Li State with Qu State, and Lidu was in a hurry."

"Hehe, that's good. However, this country is not without people. There is news that Sima of the State of Li divided an elite army, and said that he would mobilize Xuanguo to help, and they went north together, bypassing Huizhi Mountain, and planned to attack the capital of Geng State from the rear. The vanguard had been on the outskirts of the city for several days. ”

Why is that? At the moment of the great enemy, if you don't defend well, you still have to sneak attack the enemy's capital? ”

"According to my speculation, the person that Li Guo fears is not the old enemy Qu State, but the tiger and wolf army of Geng State. They expected that Geng Guo would attack this time, and it was bound to win, and the capital would be empty. If you defend directly, there is no possibility of victory, so it is better to take the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao, and attack the capital of Geng with the strength of Xuanguo. Geng Guo will inevitably return to the rescue, so the danger of Lidu can be solved. ”

"Then you say, will Li Guo and Xuan Guo really attack the capital of Geng State?"

"Naturally not. It must be outside the city that he will not go, make a feint attack, and deceive the Geng army to return to the army, so that the troops in the country of Li can concentrate on dealing with the country of Qu. ”

"What does all this matter to us?"

"Alas, Geng Jun received information and has now retreated one after another. To achieve the goal of the Li army, of course, they must be in a hurry to return to China, but they want to borrow the Pingxu shortcut to avoid taking the rugged mountain road. Therefore, he sent a secret envoy to Jia Rui, hoping that he would open the city and let him go. Jia Rui was worried that the Li Congress would take this opportunity to sneak attack Pingxu, and he had been hesitant to open the city gate. ”

At this moment, a two- or three-year-old girl suddenly popped out of the back room, Zhong Lingyuxiu, as if she had pinched out clear water, and shouted: "Daddy is back." Daddy's back. ”

Shang Youyi picked up the girl, scratched her nose, and said with a smile: "Did Yingxue make her mother angry again today?" ”

Ying Xue pouted and shook her head: "No." Yingxue is obedient, Daddy, you have to reward me! ”

Shang Youyi wanted to joke with Yingxue for a few words, but was stopped by Zeng Peiqin, only to hear her ask again: "What about the general's opinion?" “

"Li Guo and our country have recently made peace, and they should not offend each other, and if they are in trouble, they should try their best to help each other, so as not to lose the trust of the country. Li Jun's intention on this trip was only to bluff Geng Jun. They are still in a hurry to deal with the troops coming from the Qu Kingdom, how can they be distracted to attack Pingxu? It's better to do a good deed, open the city gate and let them hurry back to defense. But Jia Rui always felt that Li Jun had ill intentions and was unwilling to let him go. ”

"Then if Jia Rui doesn't open the city gate, what will be the consequences?"

"The person who commanded the army this time was the general Wang Sheng, who was arrogant in nature, although there was no lack of strategy, but he was often rash. I'm afraid that Jia Rui won't open the door, and he will really attack Pingxu when he is angry. ”

Zeng Peiqin sighed: "Understood." If Jia Rui insists on not opening the city gate, then Li Jun and us will inevitably have a big fight. ”

"I'm not afraid to fight with the Li army, but what I'm afraid of is that after this battle, the peace pact between Yu Li and the two countries will break down again. I'm afraid of ...... I'm afraid of ...... too."

"What are you afraid of?"

"The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind."

When he said this, the sound of cicadas outside the window suddenly became loud, and Zeng Peiqin was so startled that he dropped the teacup in his hand with a "snap". Two-year-old Ying Xue didn't know what her father and mother were discussing, just staring at her round eyes, fiddling with the red tassels on Shang Heyi's helmet with her fingers, and smiling like a silver bell.

Everything was said by Shang and Yi. Jia Ruiyi lasted for a long time, and finally rejected the request of the envoy Meng Jie on the grounds that the epidemic situation in Pingxu City was serious. When Meng Jie returned to the army, he told Wang Sheng about the situation one by one, and said: "I have carefully observed all the way, the people in the city and the generals in the army are not sick, how can there be any epidemic?" It must be Jia Rui's excuse. Wang Sheng was furious and said: "You deceived me and couldn't go Pingxu, I attacked Pingxu and tied you to the Eastern Capital." Left and right persuasion: "If we don't go Pingxu, we will go back to Huizhi Mountain, why bother to fight?" ”

Wang Sheng shook his head and said: "Returning from Pingxu, you can save at least seven days, and this extra seven days of response is enough to determine the success or failure of our war with Qu State." Yu Guo and our country have been in dispute for many years, and they finally made a peace treaty, and it is time to help each other and strengthen trust. Now that the eastern capital is in trouble, Jia Rui's move is tantamount to falling into a hole for my country? It can be seen that he did not take the peace treaty between the two countries seriously at all, nor did he take us seriously. Our army is here, and we are not afraid of him. Since ancient times, he has been saluting first and then soldiering, and since he is unrighteous first, I don't need to be polite to him anymore! After that, he instructed Meng Jie to leave immediately, and then return to Pingxu as an envoy, first, to observe the situation of the city gate, and second, to inform Jia Rui, saying that Li Jun was willing to return to the country by a long detour, and would no longer disturb the residents of Pingxu. Jia Rui believed it to be true, and was happy to wish a few words, and gave grain, grass, and wine. Meng Jie accepted it together. When the night was ugly, there was no starlight, but Wang Sheng sent several dead soldiers to put on the clothes of the soldiers who defended the city of Yuguo, and dived to Pingxu under the cover of night. When he arrived at the city gate, he hurriedly set up a cloud ladder, quietly climbed up to the city pass, and killed several Yu soldiers while he was unprepared. Just as he was about to open the city gate and let the army enter the city, he heard a shouting order, and then shot several cold arrows from the southeast and west, and suddenly hit the ground one by one. It turned out that Shang and Yi expected that the Li army would come to attack tonight, and they had already arranged archers to wait for them.

Shang Youyi picked up an injured soldier and said, "I won't kill you, you go back and tell General Wang Sheng, just say that General Jia Rui has issued a military order to ban the opening of the city gate, and this matter cannot be undone by my strength." It is inevitable that the two armies will suffer heavy casualties in the battle, so it is better to ask the Li army to leave quickly and return from Huizhishan to China, so as not to delay the domestic war. ”
