The black clouds in the sky are overwhelming, and the wind and rain are coming. For a moment, the remnants of the nine heavens were covered. The same is true on the official road, and the black-pressed team can't see the end at a glance. The indifferent wind blew from his cheeks, Situ Hao tightened his clothes, and said calmly: "The army camped, sent people to Yizhou to pass the ceremony, and the army arrived in Yizhou two days later." ”

The rain flowed down the eaves like beads with broken threads. It flowed and gathered on the ground, and gradually became a small stream. The flowers and trees on the side smiled, but Yuanhang had a sad face, frowning and standing by the door looking at the rain outside.

"Xianggong, why are you worried?" Yilan walked over and picked up his coat and put it on for the voyage.

"It's about to go on an expedition but it's raining, the roads must be muddy and difficult to navigate, and the siege ladder is too large, how to transport it?" Yuanhang said worriedly.

Yilan helped Yuanhang pull down his collar, smiled lightly, and said euphemistically: "Xianggong doesn't have to worry, my father has countless good horses and thousands of soldiers, even if it is an iron wall, it can be flattened, and how can it be difficult to live on a few ladders." ”

Yuanhang turned around, smiled too, nodded and said, "What you said is that I was overly worried." ”

"Xianggong, I should do one thing." Yilan picked up his voyage arm, leaned his head on his shoulder and whispered.

"Tell me, what?" Yuanhang touched Yilan's hair.

Yilan suddenly felt a heat in her throat, and tears flowed uncontrollably. "Come back safely." Yilan said with a little choked up.

"Hmm." Yuanhang didn't know if he would be able to come back safely, but he nodded firmly.

"Young Master." Tang Ling held a floral umbrella and jumped to dodge the stagnant water in the courtyard and entered the courtyard.

"What?" Yuanhang asked loudly inside the door.

"When the army of the back hall arrived outside the city, they sent someone to invite the young master to discuss matters in the camp." Tang Ling ran into the house and said with the rain on his body.

"Father-in-law is coming fast enough." Yuanhang looked at Yilan and said with a smile, and Yilan also smiled back.

With Ah Jin and Dao Zi, Yuan Hang and Sun Ke rode horses to the outside of the city in the face of the heavy rain. The pouring rain instantly disappeared the figures of several people.

"I've seen Lord Overseer." The generals in the big tent stood up and saluted the voyage, except for Situ Hao and a young general with an indifferent expression.

Yuanhang took off his cloak, shook off the rain on his body, and greeted the generals with a smile. Walked inside and bowed to Situ Hao, Situ Hao nodded, and Yuanhang sat on the first chair on the left side of the next head.

"This is Deputy Marshal Chen Plaque, Ye Dujun came to see it." Situ Hao introduced the two of them.

Yuanhang got up to salute, Chen Pai glanced at it with a sneer, did not get up, just hugged his fists and saluted back. Yuanhang didn't mind, smiled lightly and sat back.

"Voyage, this time the back hall sent 200,000 troops, aiming to recover Xiaoliang in one fell swoop. The Holy God ordered you to send 40,000 troops to Yizhou to go out together. Situ Hao leaned over and said to Yuanhang.

"Marshal, there are only more than 40,000 soldiers in Yizhou City, and you can't go out of the city, you can only send 30,000 troops." Yuanhang paused and said.

"Lord Overseer, this is the Emperor's command. Is it possible that you have to disobey? Chen Pai took the opportunity to raise his eyebrows and said, slanting his eyes and glancing at Situ Hao.

"Hehe, Vice Marshal Chen, there are many soldiers. My Yizhou 30,000 is worth your 50,000 elite soldiers, there is an old saying that a car of potatoes is not as good as a pearl. Yuanhang shook the undried water droplets on his hands and said.

"What a mess, disobedience is a capital crime." Chen Pai stood up and shouted loudly.

Situ Hao slapped the big case and shouted: "Presumptuous." ”

Chen Pai hurriedly bowed down, and Yuanhang also stood up without making a sound.

"Do you still take Ben Shuai in your eyes?" After Situ Hao finished speaking, he stood up, walked between the two, and said: "The big war is imminent, but your own people don't get along first, is it possible that you are here to quarrel?" ”

"The lower officials know their mistakes." "The end will know what is wrong." The two said hurriedly.

"Now it's raining heavily, and you can't go forward. After returning to the city after the voyage, be prepared, as soon as the sky clears, there is no delay, and you will immediately go north. ”

"Yes." The voyage bowed to the road.

Chen Pai stepped forward and asked, "Marshal, has Yizhou sent 40,000 troops?" ”

Situ Hao turned his head to look at the voyage and said, "Send 40,000 troops, not one soldier or one soldier." ”

Chen Pai looked at the voyage, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.

The voyage was silent. He looked up at Chen Pai and narrowed his eyes.

When everyone dispersed, Situ Hao left Yuanhang behind, patted Yuanhang on the shoulder, and said, "Chen Pai is the nephew of Gonggong Chen, don't have a handle in their hands." ”

Yuanhang nodded and said, "But, father-in-law, Yizhou can't be empty." ”

Situ Hao laughed and said, "Are there times when you can't help it?" Leaned over and said softly: "Later, I will order someone to bring you 10,000 soldiers, and you will be relieved if you change into Yizhou military uniforms." ”

Voyage Yile, spread his eyebrows and gave a thumbs up, and praised: "Father-in-law, high opinion." ”

Situ Hao glared at him, and said angrily: "Don't do this with me, let's go back and coax Yilan." ”

"Hey, hey, hey." Yuanhang scratched his head and laughed dryly.

"How is Yilan?" Situ Hao asked.

"Well, my father-in-law should go back to the city with me."

"Nonsense, I am the commander of the first army, how can I leave the military tent." Situ Hao turned around and sat down after walking back to the big case. said: "You go back, tomorrow if the sky is fine, the army will go out." ”

"Yes, father-in-law." Yuanhang bowed, withdrew from the big tent, and ran towards Yizhou City in the rain.

"Why didn't my father come to the house?" Back in the house, Yilan helped Yuanhang take off his wet clothes and hurriedly found a dry one to change into for him.

"The commander of the first army refuses to leave the camp, and he is dead." Yuanhang said with his arms outstretched.

Yilan slapped Yuanhang on the shoulder with her hand and said with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense." "Dressed for the voyage, I went and poured another cup of hot tea.

"Xianggong, how long can you go back?" Yilan leaned on the table and sat down next to Yuanhang.

"I can't say for sure." Yuanhang took a sip of hot tea and said. "A few months, a year."

Yilan sighed, pursed her lips, and said unhappily: "The emperor is too, and he wants you to go on the expedition just after getting married." ”

"It's not, delay our Ye family's branches." Yuanhang leaned over and sniffed vigorously beside Yilan. "It smells so good." Close your eyes and revel in the look.

Yilan stood up and walked to the inner room, saying as she walked, "I've never seen you look serious. ”

"Hey, hey." Yuanhang smiled maliciously, blew out the candle and followed.

When I got up in the morning, I looked at Yilan who was still asleep, and put on my clothes without moving. Pushing open the window, a breath of fresh air rushed in. After leaving the east courtyard and coming to the front hall, Yuanhang saw Qinghe standing there.

"Xianggong." Qinghe shouted and stepped forward to stand in front of Yuanhang.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"Get up and say goodbye to you." Qinghe looked at the voyage, turned around and picked up the package from the stool, and said, "It's all ready for you." ”

The voyage went up and hugged Qinghe, and said in his ear: "I'm going." ”

"Take care." Qinghe whispered in Yuanhang's ear. Yuanhang smiled, picked up the package and went out of the house.

Wuying and the ten dark spirits with outstanding kung fu were already waiting outside the mansion, and Tang Ling also put Hai Dongqing in a cage and put it on the carriage. Voyage rode on the sunspot and everyone to the east gate, Sun Ke had taken the soldiers out of the city, but Qin Chao and Limo were worried at the city gate.

"What's wrong?" Yuanhang saw that the siege ladders were standing at the city gate, and stepped forward to ask the Qin Dynasty.

"My lord, this ladder is too high for the city gate to get out. The iron sheet was too heavy for the soldiers to put down. General Sun said that he had given up the ladder. Qin Chao said with a sad face.

"I said to use the rope to go to the city and hold it down slowly, but he didn't agree." Li Mo glanced at Qin Chao and muttered.

Yuanhang took a look, and if this ladder could not be supported at all by a person, it would be impossible to pull it with a rope when it went up to the city wall, and if it was not done well, it would smash people into meat patties. The repentant voyage slapped his head, why didn't he think about going out of the city when he first built it.

Pacing back and forth in place, the voyage kept thinking of a way. I'm afraid it won't work to dig up the city gate, not to mention that it can't be repaired after digging, even if it takes a day to dig it up. Suddenly, he looked at the city gate, ran to the city wall and looked down at the ladder, and laughed.

After descending the city tower, Yuanhang ordered the Qin Dynasty to send people to get digging tools and began to dig up the city gate. Not from above, but from below, digging the ground down to a depth of two meters. A few hundred people dug for a while, and then immediately replaced with a few hundred others. In less than two quarters of an hour, a semi-underground passage was dug. Pulling forward and pushing back, the first siege ladder finally went out of the city gate smoothly, and the soldiers cheered happily.

"General Qin, I'll leave it to you to fill in the road, and we're leaving." Yuanhang said to Qin Chao with a fist.

"Take care, the last will wait for your lordship." Qin Chao returned the salute and said.

Yuanhang nodded, turned around and went out of the city gate to catch up with Sun Ke, and took the Yizhou soldiers to embark on the Northern Expedition again.
