Chapter Seventy-Four: Midnight Dispatch

The voyage arrived outside the West Gate, and Sun Ke and the generals had been waiting for a long time.

"My lord, Lord Siwei is here with his troops, and there are still thirty miles away from here. See if we go ten miles out of the city to meet us. Sun Ke said to Yuanhang with a fist.

"Should, should." Yuanhang nodded again and again.

"So I'll go to greet you, and if you are injured and can't ride a horse, you'll wait here." Sun Ke looked at Yuanhang's left arm and said.

"It's okay, I'm tired of General Sun." Yuanhang looked down at his arm, and knew that riding a horse was a difficult task, so he leaned over and said.

After Sun Ke saluted the voyage, he gave an order and led everyone to ride forward to greet him. The voyage returned to the castle to rest and wait.

After a long time, Yuanhang had already dozed off in the guard's room. A soldier came in and said, "Your Excellency, General Sun has sent me to inform your Excellency that Your Excellency has set up camp five miles outside the city, please go." ”

Yuanhang rubbed his eyes, got up and asked, "Lord Siwei is not coming into the city?" ”

The soldier replied, "Yes, my lord." ”

"Oh." Yuanhang responded and ordered Wuying: "Prepare the horses, let's go to the barracks." ”

There were no villages within a few miles of the city, and if there were no dark spirit retinues, the dark voyage would not dare to leave the city. After a few moments, I saw a bright light in the distance. When they came near, there were already people waiting outside the camp gate.

"Your Excellency, but Lord Ye, the Governor of Yizhou?" A general asked, bowing down.

"Exactly." Yuanhang replied immediately.

"Lord Situ instructed his subordinates to wait for Lord Ye here, and ask the adults to speak in the tent." After saying that, turn sideways and give way.

Yuanhang couldn't turn over and dismount with one hand, and Ah Jin stepped forward to help. Dismounted, with no shadow, Ah Jin followed the general into the barracks.

In the main tent, Situ Hao sat in the commander's seat in armor, and there were no less than twenty heavily armed generals sitting on both sides below, and many people were standing behind these generals. Yuanhang was startled by this formation when he entered the tent, stepped forward to salute Situ Hao, and said, "Yizhou Zhizhou Ye Yuanhang has seen Lord Siwei. ”

Situ Hao smiled slightly, pointed to the first chair on his right, and said, "Lord Ye, please take a seat." ”

After Yuan Voyage Xie walked to the chair and sat down, Wu Ying and Ah Jin stood behind Yuan Hang.

Situ Hao cleared his throat and said to everyone: "This time Xiaoliang attacked Yizhou, General Sun and Ye Zhizhou worked together to repel the enemy army, and established Yizhou without loss, making great contributions. The Holy Lord has issued an edict that the battle of Yizhou will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and the oracle will be transmitted to Yizhou in a few days. ”

"Hehe, it's okay now, there's meat to eat." Li Mo shouted in a loud voice.

Qin Chao hurriedly poked him on the side. All the generals laughed.

Situ Hao also smiled: "General Mo has made his first contribution behind enemy lines. Not only meat, but also good wine, haha. ”

Li Mo hurriedly waved his hands and said, "My lord, this last general doesn't dare to be. Everything is Lord Zhizhou's clever plan, I just follow orders, and if you want to say that the first merit is Lord Ye. ”

Situ Hao smiled: "Let's not talk about the reward for the time being. This time, the saint has made up his mind to recover Xiaoliang in one fell swoop, and ordered Ben to be the commander-in-chief, leading 150,000 elite soldiers, and the Yizhou defenders to send 50,000 troops to attack Guzhou. ”

Yuanhang was surprised, looked up at Situ Hao, and said, "My lord, it may not be the best time to attack Guzhou at this time." Although Xiaoliang was defeated, he did not hurt his vitality, and he will definitely rectify the army and horses to stick to Guzhou. Moreover, the troops of Kaizhou and Xingzhou can arrive in Guzhou for reinforcements in just a few days. The strength of the three states is no less than 300,000, and waiting for work at ease is extremely unfavorable to our army. ”

Situ Hao nodded and said, "I also said that the battle of Yizhou made the emperor very happy, and I listened to Gonggong Chen's suggestion, which is indeed a bit too hasty. Situ Hao paused for a moment, and then said: "Since the emperor has ordered, I can only lead the troops to the battle." However, I decided not to attack Guzhou by surprise, and then I would not attack after taking Guzhou by surprise, and then try to take Guzhou slowly. ”

Yuanhang lowered his head and thought for a while, frowned and said: "Guzhou is now the army of Heyi Prefecture, and it is not possible to capture it in a few days. ”

"It can only be like this, you are fast, tomorrow early morning to send troops, General Sun Ke led his subordinates to go out with the army. Yizhou will be handed over to you, and the imperial court will send reinforcements and grain and grass one after another. Situ Hao looked at Yuanhang and said.

"Don't worry, Yizhou is fine." Yuanhang stood up and bowed and said.

Sun Ke got up and clenched his fists and said, "My lord, the last general will leave General Limo to assist Lord Ye in guarding Yizhou, what do you think?" ”

Before Situ Hao could speak, Li Mo shouted from behind, "General, I want to go out to kill the enemy, but I don't defend the city." ”

"Fooling around, it's child's play in the army." Sun Ke turned around and shouted angrily.

"Hehe, General Sun is angry." Situ Hao said with a smile: "General Limo is brave and good at fighting, he is a rare fierce general in our army, how can he not fight." ”

"Hehe, thank you, Captain." Li Mo looked at Sun Ke with a smirk, Sun Ke glared at him helplessly, turned to Situ Hao and continued: "Yizhou is an important place in the rear of our army, since it is away from Mo Sui's army, then the general of the Qin Dynasty will stay to guard the city." ”

"It's okay, General Qin is brave and strategic, but he can take on this great responsibility." Situ Hao nodded and said.

"The last general commands." Qin Chao stood up and hugged his fists in response.

"After General Sun returns to the city, he will gather his troops and horses, and join me tomorrow and send troops to Guzhou." Situ Hao straightened down and said.

"The last will obey." Sun Ke replied.

"The generals will go back to prepare first, and Ye Zhizhou will stay for a while." Situ Hao said.

The generals got up and bowed and withdrew, and Yuanhang turned around to look at Wuying, and Wuying and Ah Jin also retreated, leaving only Situ Hao and Yuanhang in the entire big tent.

"It's a long voyage." Situ Hao stood up, walked to the big tent and stopped, and said, "Yilan has a letter to bring." After speaking, he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it over.

He sailed forward and took the letter and put it in his arms. He asked with concern, "Is she okay?" ”

Situ Hao didn't answer him, but sighed and said, "My son, Yilan has never disobeyed me, and now ...... Hey, tell me how to explain to Mu Bai. ”

After hearing this, Yuanhang paused and said, "Uncle, the little nephew will treat Yilan well." ”

Situ Hao glanced at Yuanhang and said lightly: "I hope so, and it will not live up to her waiting every day." ”

"Yes, my nephew knows." Yuanhang was secretly happy in his heart, it seemed that Situ Hao had acquiesced to himself, which was really unexpected.

"Go back, remember to guard Yizhou, and answer me at any time." Situ Hao didn't turn around, waved his hand and said.

"Well, uncle, don't worry, take care of yourself, the little nephew will listen to your dispatch at any time in Yizhou." The voyage bowed and withdrew from the tent. Take the dark spirit and rush back to the Yizhou Mansion overnight.

Qinghe had not yet rested, and when he saw that he had returned from the voyage, he came up to change his clothes. said: "Xianggong has worked hard. ”

Yuanhang smiled and patted Qinghe on the shoulder. He took Yilan's letter and walked to the table and sat down.

"Xianggong, this is ......" Qinghe asked curiously when he saw the beautiful font on the cover page that said Yuanhang Qinqi.

"It's a letter from Yilan." Yuanhang didn't hide it and told Qinghe.

"Oh, the Yilan girl is gentle and elegant, knowledgeable, and a good girl." Qinghe said pointedly.

Yuanhang looked at Qinghe, who smiled and walked into the inner room.

Open the letter, it reads: Don't go for a few days, are you okay? The battle of Yizhou can be recorded in history. My heart rejoices, and I hope you take care. The sound of the nightbird is gone. The evening bell is bursting, who is the heart? I only hope for news to come with the east wind.

Yuanhang folded the letter and breathed a deep sigh. Seeing Qinghe sitting on the edge of the bed and looking at him, he walked over and said, "Rest in peace, it's late." ”

Qinghe nodded obediently and said softly: "Xianggong, Yilan is really a good girl. ”

Yuanhang didn't say anything more, put down the bed curtain, and lay down with Qinghe in his arms.

In the early morning of the next day, Yuanhang got up early and came to the west gate to welcome Situ Hao into the city, and accompanied him through the city, and only said goodbye to the city after sending ten miles from the east gate. Coming to the outside of the city, Yuanhang watched the soldiers standing on the floating pontoon bridge in the moat with torches, and asked the Qin Dynasty: "General, is there no suspension bridge in the cities of Daliang Prefecture now?" ”

"My lord, I don't know what a drawbridge is." Qin Chao replied.

"You see, there is now a river outside the city, and although it can block the enemy in wartime, it is very inconvenient for the people to enter and exit in peacetime." Yuanhang said, pointing to the pontoon.

"What do you mean...... the adult," Qin Chao asked.

"Build a suspension bridge, fixed with iron chains on both sides, let it go in peacetime, people can enter and exit freely, and use pulleys on the city tower to pull up the iron chains in wartime, so that the bridge will be suspended in the air, which can block the enemy from crossing the river." The voyage was described with his hands and feet, and Qin Chao nodded his head as if he had realized something.

"The last general will be deployed, and then I will ask for more guidance from adults." The Qin Dynasty knew that what Yuanhang said must have made a lot of sense.

After sailing to say goodbye to the Qin Dynasty, he returned to the mansion to see Zhengxiang sleeping with Qinghe, took off his clothes and got into the quilt, and fell asleep again after a while.

After dawn, Yuanhang still didn't wake up, Tang Ling gently knocked on the door, and Qinghe walked out to open the door.

"Second young grandmother early!" Tang Ling bowed and said with a smile.

"Tang Ling, is there something wrong?" Qinghe asked as he let Tang Ling in.

"Hasn't the young master gotten up yet? There was a drum beating in front of the yamen. Tang Ling replied in a low voice, peeking at the inner room with his eyes.

"Well, I slept late last night on business, so I'll wake up Xianggong." Qinghe saw that it was official business, so he didn't dare to delay and walked to the inner room.

Pushing the voyage to wake up, the voyage got up very reluctantly, heard someone beating the drum, and immediately came to the spirit. While running to wash, he shouted: "Qinghe, go and find the official uniform of the prime minister......
