Chapter 159: Helping Grace and Farewell (2)
"Ah Hui!" Yuan Zhonghua woke up in exclamation.
When I opened my eyes, everything was gone, and it turned out that what I had just been was a dream. The bed tent hung low, and Yuan Zhonghua found that she was lying on the bed at the moment, and there was light coming in outside, as if she could still hear the sound of birds chirping in spring, which made her feel a lot better. I was secretly glad that it was just a dream, but the terrible dream still made her afraid.
Yuan Zhonghua quickly judged that this was not her inner sleep in the General's Mansion, not her bed. And the hibiscus tent has been opened. At the same time, when Yuan Zhonghua got up slightly, she realized that she was completely different from before she dreamed. She reached out and stroked her abdomen, which was completely flat.
The two slaves picked up the bed tent and consciously retreated, Yuan Zhonghua saw that Gao Yang was actually sitting on the edge of the couch, and she was extremely disappointed.
"You've never called him that." Gao Yang seemed to be a different person than just now, just sitting there and looking at Yuan Zhonghua, he was very calm, and on the surface, he didn't look like he was crazy before.
Yuan Zhonghua looked at Gao Yang in disbelief, and Gao Yang seemed to have come out of the dream she had just had. His indifferent eyes, and his fingers that were twisted all the time, made people think that his heart was very entangled. Gao Yang stared at her sharply, "You call him Ah Hui?" If you're willing to call me a Hunny, I'll ......" he stopped and said no more.
"What about my child?" Yuan Zhonghua asked.
"Naturally, it's good, I've already sent a letter to my eldest brother." Gao Yang stood up.
"Why distract him at this time?" Yuan Zhonghua wanted to get up, but his whole body was weak.
"It's time for him to learn how to be distracted." Gao Yang, who had already stood up, returned to the depressed and somewhat stunned Taiyuan Gong. "With so many people looking at him, does he know what is going on in anyone's heart? If anyone did anything against him behind his back, would he know everything? ”
Yuan Zhonghua suddenly remembered the dream he had just had, and when he heard Gao Yang say such a thing, he stared at him and asked, "Since he doesn't know, do you know?" ”
originally thought that Gao Yang would not say anything, but who knew that Gao Yang, who was already going out, immediately turned around and sat back on the couch and looked at Yuan Zhonghua. "It doesn't hurt to tell Your Highness. The eldest brother must also know that he is in danger. This kind of clean government and corruption are good things for the country and the family, but it is not necessarily a good thing for the eldest brother himself. The eldest brother has always been used to showing off his might, and he doesn't even pay attention to the Son of Heaven, not to mention those clan ministers, as well as the old people around his father. and never disdained forbearance. Gao Yang shook his head as if he had a headache, and reached out to press his temple.
The more Yuan Zhonghua listened, the more shocked she became, this was clearly the solution to her dream just now. She thought of Gao Yang in her dream, looked at him coldly and blurted out, "You can be patient, that's why you watch, right?" ”
Gao Yang lowered his hand when he heard this, and looked at Yuan Zhonghua in surprise.
At night, in the prime minister's mansion in Chang'an, Nan Qiao, the maid of the eldest princess Yuan Yuying, hurriedly entered after listening to the report of a slave maid, and returned to the eldest princess Yuan Yuying.
Yuan Yuying can actually guess probably. But she also understands that this is not the time to think about the details. only ordered to do all the worship of the prince of Rouran in the house as usual, and not to lose the number of courtesies, and not to ask anything else. Nan Qiao fully understands the eldest princess's thoughts and knows how to command the slaves and maids.
However, Yuan Yuying didn't expect that she only wanted to enshrine the prince of Rouran, and at the same time secretly wondered if it was appropriate to let the prince of Rouran live in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a long time at this time. But before she could find a proper reason for this Rouran prince to move out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Bald Tujia took the initiative to come to her.
Bald Tujia actually liked the building called "Pavilion" in the garden when she arrived at Yuwentai Corner last time. He was originally a playful age, always thinking about when he would return to the grassland, and also built an identical pavilion, just in the green field under the blue sky and white clouds, I don't know what kind of scenery it will be after completion.
However, at this time, Bald Tujia, who was standing in the pavilion, also felt quite a lot in his heart. Things are easy to change, in the middle of winter, the eyes are gray, but the lifeless garden is the coldest standing in this pavilion, and the wind blowing through the hall is very cold. I don't know if it's because Prime Minister Yu Wentai is not in the mansion, the entire mansion is a lot quieter, and it seems deserted.
From a distance, I saw the wife of the prime minister and the eldest princess Yuan Yuying, surrounded by the slaves and maids behind her. Naturally, Bald Tujia had never seen the eldest princess dressed in hakama and wielding a sword like a rainbow. I don't know how heroic she was when she followed her husband and left everything in Luoyang and entered Guanzhong in the west. In Bald Tujia's eyes, although the eldest princess has a stunning appearance, she is too dull and restrained. She always wears a compliant dress, acts dignified and silent.
Seeing the prime minister's wife go up to the pavilion without shaking her skirt, Bald Tujia didn't wait for her to ask, so she preemptively said, "Madame is really stable." In fact, he has a good impression of Yuan Yuying in his heart, and thinks that she has the style of motherhood that the Han people say.
"Shizi, please speak up." Yuan Yuying was still calm and calm, but she refused to joke with him.
Bald Tujia also saw it, and simply looked at Yuan Yuying and said bluntly, "Don't hide it from Madame, I went to Pusaka City a few days ago. He wanted to see Yuan Yuying's reflection.
Yuan Yuying lowered her eyes and was silent, and she couldn't hear Bald Tujia say anything for a long time, so she raised her head in surprise and saw that Bald Tujia was also looking at her, so she asked, "What does the prince want to say?" ”
"Madame, do you know who is in Kasaka? Not surprising what I do in Kabasaka? Bald Tujia saw that Yuan Yuying was neither surprised nor angry, and felt a little lost.
"The prince is not a minister of Great Wei, presumably the prince of Shuofang County is not only in a relationship with the prime minister, right?" After going through so many things, Yuan Yuying is obviously very open-minded, and she is not an ordinary woman in the deep palace. Since Rouran can have a relationship with the Western Wei Dynasty, of course, she can also have a relationship with the Eastern Wei Dynasty. Even if Bald Tujia went to see the boss of the Eastern Wei Dynasty at this time, she had nothing to say.
Bald Tujia's personality will not be hidden, although he is scheming, it does not prevent him from being a straightforward person, not to mention that he is young after all. Seeing Yuan Yuying say this, she simply said bluntly, "The 'Eastern Thief' you are talking about is actually a soldier who came from three ways......
This sentence attracted Yuan Yuying's attention, raised her eyes and stared at Bald Tujia, and blurted out, "The soldiers are divided into three ways? ”
"General Gao Cheng has set up a pontoon bridge at Pujin Pass and is preparing to cross the river. Madame must have known that there was also a pioneer Dou Tai who rushed straight to Tongguan. I'm afraid I don't know, there is still one way, Situ Gao Aocao, has gone straight to Shangluo. Bald Tujia told Yuan Yuying the news he had just discovered.
For a moment, a trace of confusion flashed in Yuan Yuying's eyes. After all, she is not a general who leads the troops, the terrain is unknown, and she doesn't know what the arrangement of the three armies of the Eastern Wei Dynasty has any meaning. "Does the prime minister know?" , The first reaction in her heart was that her husband Jun Yu Wentai knew about this matter or not, and this was the first important thing.
"The military newspaper should have been delivered to Guangyang. At this time, the emperor in the palace should also know. Bald Tujia intended to interpret it for her, "If Gao Aocao captures Shangluo and directly copies the back of Chang'an, he will form a three-sided encirclement with Dou Tai and Gao Cheng, and taking Chang'an is like taking something from a bag." He paused and asked quite seriously, "Madam, you don't know Gao Aocao, do you?" ”
Gao Aocao is a powerful general who has always followed Gao Huan, undefeated in a hundred battles, and Yuan Yuying knows this person no matter how much he doesn't know about war. is because Gao Huan is too serious to Gao Aocao, almost to the extent of unconditional accommodation.
"The prince told me this, he must have an idea in mind, right?" Although Yuan Yuying's heart was already pressed by a boulder, and she was worried about her husband Junyu Wentai in Guangyang, she still reluctantly asked calmly.
"What does the lady have in mind?" Bald Tujia asked rhetorically.
"I don't have any idea," Yuan Yuying suddenly raised her head, and in an instant, Bald Tujia saw the heroic and decisive determination that he had never seen in her, like a man. "I promised my husband that if there is really such a day, I will personally be the bow and arrow, in order to protect the Son of Heaven, protect the community, guard the national capital, and repay with my life." Yuan Yuying saluted to Bald Jia, "Thank you for informing the prince." ”
"What if Rouran helps the prime minister retreat from the enemy?" Bald Tujia stared at her and asked.
"What the prince wants, you might as well say it clearly." Yuan Yuying calmly relative.
"I want the prime minister to marry Princess Rouran, and my sister will be my wife." Bald Tujia is half-true and half-fake.
Yuan Yuying was silent as if she had been slapped on the head.
The two looked at each other for a long time.
"Why, Madame refuses?" Bald Tujia asked.
Thinking of the beginning, Yuan Yuying herself also understood that she was also married by her younger brother Yuan Xiu in order to win over Yuwentai. There have been twists and turns between her and Yu Wentai, and she always vaguely feels that there is a place in his heart that will not let her in. Now that her younger brother Yuan Xiu has long been wiped out, and she, the eldest princess, is not worthy of her name, maybe she is really incompatible with this prime minister's mansion. If Yuwentai marries Princess Rouran, it can really make Dawei strong, which is a good thing for Dawei Sheji and Yuwentai. It's just her heartache that she left, but it's still worth it. Maybe she should have left a long time ago.
"I promise you." Yuan Yuying looked directly at Bald Tujia proudly. "I just don't know if this was said by the prince or by Rouran? If Rou Ran said it, does Rou Ran value Da Wei, or is it just Yuwentai? Yuan Yuying asked with a needle of blood.
"You doubt him?" Bald Tujia is an extremely intelligent person, he asked in disbelief.
This question seems simple, but like a sharp awl, it pierced directly into Yuan Yuying's heart.
"He will always be my husband." Yuan Yuying's voice softened, "I can only die for the Great Wei Sheji." ”
Bald Tujia was startled. This eldest princess's scheming is too deep. If Yuwentai is dedicated to Sheji, he is the pillar of the country, then for Yuwentai is for Dawei, but what if Yuwentai and Dawei Sheji are not single-minded? This question is worth pondering.
Guangyang is in the east of Chang'an, south of the Wei River, and the distance from Chang'an is not far for dozens of miles. The Yuwentai garrison here was to meet the Eastern Wei army and make a barrier in advance. It's just that what the eldest princess Yuan Yuying and the son of Rouran said is not right, Yuwentai is not in Guangyang at this moment.
In fact, Yu Wentai had already received a military report and knew that Gao Aocao led the army straight to Shangluo. During his trip to Guangyang, he once again discussed some specific details with Yu Jin, Zhao Gui and others. Not only were the generals worried, but Yuwentai himself knew that this battle could only be won and not defeated. If it is really defeated, it will really be difficult to even have a chance to turn over, Gao Huan commanded, Gao Cheng led the army, and he will definitely take this opportunity to completely meet the head-on attack.
The lights shone on the map, and Yu Jin, the general of the cavalry, told the three-way offensive line of the Western Wei army one by one with the lights. This is the offensive strategy of the Eastern Wei Dynasty: with Chang'an, the capital of the Western Wei Dynasty, as the goal, the troops are divided into three routes to form a joint encirclement.
The original strategic background of the direct attack on Dou Tai was that he only knew that Gao Cheng was in Pujin Pass, and Dou Tai was attacking Tongguan, but he didn't know that Gao Ao Cao was attacking Shangluo. If it is only Pujin Pass and Tongguan Pass, the distance between Gao Cheng and Dou Tai is not far away, and they rely on each other, but they are also easy to be used by the Western Wei army to make a time difference. Speaking of which, the strategy of light cavalry raid can still be used.
The problem now is that the background has changed, and suddenly there is Gao Aocao all the way. In fact, even the governors and generals don't know if they can keep Shangluo. Or don't dare to think about that result at all, Gao Aocao's prestige and the governors of the Western Wei Dynasty also know that Shangluo is basically going to be lost. If this happens, Gao Aocao will take Shangluo and go straight to Lantian, and then Chang'an. According to the original plan, even if Dou Tai is defeated, Tongguan is kept, and Gao Cheng is stopped because of his baggage, who will ask for Chang'an? Who will resist Gao Aocao?
Everyone's eyes were on Yu Wentai. These governors all followed Yuwentai to pacify Guanzhong. There is no need to shy away from it, but no one has the courage to propose it at this time, after all, the stakes are too great. In order to be sure, the safest way is to divide the troops and refuse.
