Chapter Twenty-Three: The Clouds Gather
When Chen Yu and the others came back from the capital, because the matter was done, they were not in a hurry, just following Lou Zhao's wishes, stopping all the way, looking at the scenery, and when they arrived in Huaishuo Town, everyone suddenly felt that the atmosphere here was weird.
"Why is the city gate closed in broad daylight, could it be that the Rouran people are harassing again?" Gao Huan muttered suspiciously.
"Rouran, the new Great Khan, is quite arrogant, Master, next time you have a chance, you can give them another strategy, and teach them a good lesson!" Lou Zhao said that he quickly ran to the city and shouted: "Yan Gongzi has returned to the city, you open the city gate quickly!" ”
Of course, the people in Huaishuo City know Chen Yu, as for Gao Huan, they are even more familiar, many people here have stood guard with Gao Huan back then, and when the city gate slowly opened, everyone rushed in, and the city gate was closed again.
"Are the Rouran people making trouble again?" Gao Huan asked one of the soldiers under the city.
"This time, I hope it's the Rouran people who are making trouble!" The soldier had a bitter face and said helplessly: "It's something that happened to Woye Town......
"Wono Town! So what could happen? Lou Zhao pursed his lips and laughed: "Those townspeople can still rebel!" ”
The soldier glanced at Lou Fatzi strangely, and continued to smile bitterly, "This little brother guessed accurately!" ”
"What! Is it really a rebellion by the townspeople of Woye Town? Gao Huan and Lou Zhao exclaimed at the same time, the word rebellion is too unfamiliar to many people, but when this strange thing suddenly happened around everyone, this surprise seemed to be infinitely expanded, and the incredible feeling slowly extended.
"Yan Gongzi, you are finally back, the town general said, let you go to see him as soon as you come back, please come with me!" When an officer saw Chen Yu arrive, he hurriedly ran over and said.
Chen Yu looked at the person with a familiar face, and only remembered it after a little recollection, this person was the young guard who went to Heba's house to inform the news of the siege of Rouran in Woye Town, and now it seems that he has also been promoted.
Chen Yu greeted Gao Huan and the others, and immediately followed the officer to the town general's mansion: "Dare to ask this general's name!" ”
"Yan Gongzi is polite, in Xia Yangyi, I am not a general, I am an orphan, and I was raised by the town general! By the way, let me give you a brief introduction first, Yang Zhen will ask you when the time comes, and you can answer conveniently! Yang Yu said to Chen Yu as he walked.
It turned out to be Yang Jun's righteous son, Chen Yu knew that big families often adopted some orphans, and those with good talent would focus on cultivating, and they might become the help of the family in the future.
Yang Yi deliberately slowed down and explained to Chen Yu as he walked, and after a while, Chen Yu already knew the basic course of the matter.
"You said that General Yu Zhen killed the representative elected by the townspeople in public, and as a result, he aroused the anger of the people and was beaten to death by the townspeople?" Even though Chen Yu had been mentally prepared, after hearing the cause of Yu Jing's death, he still felt a little speechless.
"What's going on now?" Chen Yu hurriedly asked.
"The townspeople of Woye Town have long been unbearable for the ...... of the town generals," Yang Yi said and touched his head with some embarrassment, and continued: "As a result, the townspeople have rebelled, and now not only Woye, but also the counties around Huaishuo and Wuchuan have also rebelled!" The situation in the other towns has not yet come, and it is estimated that it is similar, the Rouran people have not been able to besiege us, but now they are besieged by their own people! Yang Yi said helplessly.
"Yan Gongzi, I still have military affairs with me, so I'll go and get busy first!" When he arrived at the gate of the town general's mansion, Yang Yi turned around and said goodbye, and Chen Yu was led by the steward Li Fu all the way to Yang Jun's study.
"Yan Gongzi! The master said, you don't need to come here, please come in. After Li Fu finished speaking, he also turned around and retreated.
Chen Yu took a deep breath and strode in, "Lord Zhenjun, Chen Yu is here to visit!" ”
Yang Jun sat in front of the bookcase, but the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were knocked to the ground, it seemed that he had just lost his temper before, Chen Yu found that Yang Jun was much older than six years ago, and his hair was white.
"You're finally here!" Seeing Chen Yu coming, Yang Jun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he directly bypassed the bookcase and walked over, "How was this trip to the capital?" ”
"I'm afraid my lord is not in the mood to listen to me say this!" Chen Yu joked.
"Yang Yi told you everything, if you have any opinions, just say it!" After listening to Chen Yu's words, Yang Jun was no longer polite, and asked directly to the point.
"When the Rouran people attacked, they had to worry about the lack of food and grass, and they also had to worry about the back road being intercepted, and they didn't have a mass base and rich experience in attacking fortified cities!" Chen Yu paused and looked at Yang Jun, "But the rebellious townspeople, these are all there!" ”
"Go on!" Yang Jun said in a deep voice.
"The three elements of war, time, place, and people, dare to ask which one do you think you occupy now?" Chen Yu asked directly.
"The court is unbearable, and the people are supportive, but I still have a strong city to defend, at least I have some geographical advantages!" Yang Jun pretended to be calm.
Looking at Chen Yu's smiling eyes, Yang Jun leaned back in his chair and paused, before he said slowly: "Forget it, I won't ask, what do you say to do now?" ”
"Immediately ask the court for help, tell the court the situation as it is, once the court reinforcements arrive in time, there may be a glimmer of hope!" Chen Yu glanced at Yang Jun, thought for a moment and continued:
"Woye Town is subject to Huaishuo's temperance, and the adults can't get rid of this matter, and Lord Yang has always had a grudge against the imperial court before, but now that it is a matter of life and death, please take the overall situation first."
"I know, I'll send someone to ask the court for help, you go all the way, go rest first!" Yang Jun spoke at this time, and he already seemed a little weak.
"Little retirement!" Chen Yu said that he slowly exited the room, and suddenly Chen Yu walked in again, "My lord! That is the wife of the town general, can I have news of her......"
Yang Jun also saw Mrs. Yu back then, but his impression had long been blurred, and when he heard Chen Yu mention it, he recalled this gentle and elegant beautiful woman: "The news of Woye Town has been cut off, Yu Zhen will be killed, and Mrs. Yu is afraid that ......."
Chen Yuben didn't expect to find out anything, so he gave up his hand and said silently in his heart: Wei Kegu, Mrs. Yu, I have entrusted it to you, you must not let me down......
Huaishuo Town is also panicked now, and the rebellious townspeople outside the town are more or less related to the city, so that everyone has a feeling of civil strife in their own homes, and everyone is in danger, for fear of getting into trouble.
If someone attacks your home, of course you will be angry and defend it to the death, but when these attackers become familiar to your family and friends, that's a different story.
What's more, this rebellion is under the banner of saving you, in all fairness, both inside and outside the town are suffering from the people, you are indeed very hard, and you really need their salvation, at this time you will still hold the knife and gun in your hand and fight with them?
This is also the most headache for General Yang Zhen and others, and now that this battle has not been fought, Huaishuo's elite soldiers and generals have been like deflated balls, all of them are listless.
The weather seemed to sense something, and suddenly, dark clouds were thick, and black pressure slowly spread over Huaishuo......
