Chapter 137: The golden cicada sheds its shell

Seeing that she didn't mean anything to herself, Yuanhang relaxed a little and asked, "How did you come back again?" ”

"I haven't eaten in a day." Du Wen didn't answer, just looked at him pitifully.

The voyage told the soldiers to get some food, and picked up the branch on the ground and fiddled with it in his hands.

"I'm asking you, why did you return?" Yuanhang asked unrelentingly, although it didn't seem like he was going to take his own life, he was still a little uneasy.

"I didn't find my uncle in Guyu, and I didn't have any silver on me, how could I get back to Jingzhou after this long journey." Du Wen glanced at him resentfully, resentful that he only let him leave and didn't give a penny.

Yuanhang couldn't cry or laugh after hearing this, you can't get the silver from a thief, and you run back hungry, you are really speechless.

"Where's the dagger?" Yuanhang asked.

"Sold it, exchanged it for some broken silver, and used it yesterday." Du Wen's stomach growled, her face was slightly red, and she hurriedly covered it with her hands.

The soldiers brought food, and Du Wen was not polite, and ate it without concealment, and it could be seen that she was indeed hungry. After eating, he wiped his mouth, looked up and said, "You go out, I'm going to rest." ”

"You...... Are you going to rest? Yuanhang looked at her in surprise, as if this was not her nature, how could she not change for a few days.

"I traveled for nearly two days to get here, and I was very tired." Du Wen said naturally.

"But this is my tent, where are you going to let me sleep in the middle of the night?" Yuanhang looked at her speechlessly, dazed.

"Whatever you want, you won't let me be crowded with the soldiers anymore." Du Wen smiled lightly after speaking, and the dimples on both sides loomed.

Yuanhang saw that Du Wen showed her daughter's charm, and her heart softened for a while, and she nodded and said, "Okay, you sleep on the bed, and I sleep on the table." ”

"No, you go out." Du Wen immediately lowered her face, and the smile came and went faster.

Yuanhang raised his eyes and shouted, "I have given in, and I should not allow you to go out again." He turned and put the table together and lay down.

Du Wen saw that he didn't leave, and he had no choice, plus he was sleepy, so he didn't force it anymore, turned around and lay down in for a while and fell asleep.

The voyage was also tired and sleepy, and the two slept separately, and the night was fine.

The next day, Du Wen slept comfortably, but Yuanhang was sore and reluctantly got up.

"Get up, let me lie down for a while." Yuanhang got off the table, stooped over to the bed, and fell headlong. The bed is much more comfortable than the table, not to mention her body odor.

Du Wen saw him lying in the place where he had been lying, and her face turned red when she stood aside.

Yuanhang stretched his waist and looked up. Du Wen just got up and stood on the edge of the bed, although she was wearing a military uniform, she did not bind her chest, but she looked even more prominent. Yuanhang straightened his expression and lay on the bed and asked, "How is your injury?" ”

It's okay not to ask, this question immediately reminded Du Wen of the scene when he changed the medicine for himself, his face was very red, and he said angrily: "I want you to ask more." Then he turned away and walked to the table and sat down.

Yuanhang was stunned, how capricious this girl is. You care about her, but she speaks ill of you. You don't care about her, but she runs back on her own...... It's just that Yuanhang didn't know that Du Wen had no revenge in his heart, but he was a little more concerned about him.

Cut, when I'm willing to ask. Yuanhang pursed his lips, stubbornly tempered, and said: "I'll give you silver when I'm rested, and hurry back to Jingzhou." ”

Du Wen said that because she was shy, but Yuanhang misunderstood it wrongly, this sentence completely angered Du Wen, and without saying a word, she walked to the bed and glared at him.

Yuanhang saw her apricot eyes widening angrily, her eyebrows standing sideways, and she flashed into the bed with some fear, and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Du Wen didn't answer, reached out and grabbed the list and pushed it upwards hard, Yuanhang's body spun around, and he slammed his face down on the bed. Du Wen turned around and walked out of the tent.

When Yuanhang ran out of the tent with his nose covered, she was already gone, and the guards outside the tent pointed forward, saying that he had ridden away, and Yuanhang stood in place and looked at it for a while, then turned back to the tent.

Du Wen ran out of the horse for a while, slowly stopped the horse, her heart was full of grievances, and tears flowed down her eyes. The brother died at his hands, and his body was looked at by him again, and he ran back for two days to look for him, but he was ruthlessly driven away. Why? Why did this do this to me. Du Wen covered her face and cried bitterly on the horseback.

After crying, he reached out and wiped a handful of tears, revealing a resentful look in his eyes. Said to himself: "Ye Yuanhang, you bastard, you can't die well." After thinking for a while, he turned his horse around and whipped the horse hard, and the mount neighed, and ran back in the direction of the barracks.

The two soldiers sent by the fifth prince returned to the city in the middle of the night with the carriage transporting the corpses, and told Zhang Cheng the news that Situ Hao was scheduled to attack the city in 15 days. After discussing with Zhang Cheng, Cong Cong sent them back to Xingzhou.

"Teacher, Guzhou has 40,000 of our soldiers and horses, can't we bring them back to Xingzhou?" This is almost half of the people in Xingzhou, and Zhang Cheng is really reluctant to leave them in Guzhou.

Cong Cong shook his head decisively and said, "Cheng'er can't, if you take away the soldiers, it will definitely arouse their alarm, and besides, the army is slow, and we can't rush to Longjiang in time to join General Chen." ”

Zhang Cheng was silent, so he had to nod. said: "Teacher, we ...... Can Kaeju be captured? ”

"The soldiers return quickly, as long as Guzhou is tight, we can do it." turned to look at Zhang Cheng with concern, and said in his heart: "No matter what, we have to give it a try." ”

Zhang Cheng naturally understood in his heart. Unless the second brother does not move, once the troops are dispatched, Xiaoliang will be recovered, and the teacher is doing this for himself to plan for the future.

Since the first battle between the two armies, the Great Liang army and horses have not moved in place, and then they will attack the city in the future, which is incomprehensible.

On the city of Guzhou, the three princes and the generals are patrolling the city tower, the weather is hot and humid, and the military flag on the city is not moving.

"Third Emperor Brother, why is there no movement on the other side of the beam?" Zhang Yi walked beside Zhang Zong and turned his head to look at the city.

"I don't know, it's strange." Zhang Zong stopped, stretched out his arms on the battlements and looked down at the city.

"It's been more than ten days, could it be that their coach is injured or has other intentions?" Zhang Yi is not a scheming person, he just speculated randomly, but Zhang Cheng trembled in his heart.

"What kind of attempt can there be, I don't dare to come easily after suffering a defeat." Zhang Cheng laughed dryly and interjected.

"The fifth brother is right, Guzhou City is high, even if there is any attempt, as long as we don't go out of the city, what can he do." Zhang Yi nodded in agreement, but Zhang Zong kept staring at the front and kept thinking.

A soldier ran up the city wall and came to Zhang Zong and said, "Report, Xingzhou is sent thousands of miles away." ”

After hearing this, Zhang Cheng stepped forward and was just about to pick up the letter, when Zhang Zong took it in front of him, and said with a smile: "What can Xingzhou do?" ”

After opening it, his face changed, and he glanced at Zhang Cheng and handed over the letter. Zhang Cheng took it, and it was written that the princess was bathing, her feet were slippery, and she fell on the hard stone by the pool, her left arm bone was broken, and she missed Jun in pain. After seeing it, his face immediately panicked and looked at Zhang Zong.

"Fifth brother, don't worry, or nothing." Zhang Zong knew that Zhang Cheng loved this concubine the most, and the first emperor had just passed away, so he abolished the original concubine and made her a concubine.

"Third Emperor Brother, the younger brother is so anxious, I really can't rest assured, can you allow the younger brother to go back to visit before returning." Zhang Cheng looked at Zhang Zong with an anxious expression, and Zhang Zong hesitated. Zhang Cheng added: "The soldiers of Xingzhou will be handed over to the imperial brother, and the younger brother will go back quickly." ”

"The fifth brother cares about the princess, so he should go to visit, rest assured, there is no need to worry here." Zhang Zong was relieved when he heard that he didn't bring the soldiers, it wouldn't be of much use to keep you here, as long as the soldiers were left.

Zhang Cheng hurriedly said goodbye to everyone and went down to the city. Zhang Yi looked at his back and snorted coldly, turned back to Zhang Zong and said, "Third Emperor Brother, Fifth Brother left the city for the sake of a princess, it really can't be a big deal." ”

Zhang Zong thought about it in his heart, and his face still sank and reprimanded Zhang Yi and said: "The fourth brother can't talk nonsense, the love of the fifth brother is not as good as you and me." ”

Zhang Yi was silent, looking forward at the city.

Zhang Cheng got down to the city tower and nodded when he returned home to see the jungle. The jungle understood, and ordered to go down to order thousands of iron cavalry guards to escort Zhang Cheng to the east gate of Guzhou. Out of the city gate, Zhang Cheng looked back on the horse, looked at the east gate of Guzhou with a smile on the corner of his mouth, turned his head and hit the horse hard, and ran forward quickly.

After walking for half an hour, he came to a fork in the road and stopped. Here to the northeast, to the Longjiang River, across the river is Kaizhou. Heading southeast, it will go straight to Xingzhou.

Zhang Chengzai immediately asked, "Teacher, are we going to Kaizhou this way?" ”

"Well, it will take two days to rush to the Longjiang River to meet General Chen, and Marshal Situ will attack Guzhou in two days." The jungle had already calculated the time, and sent soldiers back to Xingzhou to make this plan with General Chen, and set off at the same time on both sides to meet on the riverside to attack Kaizhou.

Zhang Cheng nodded, turned his horse, turned to the northeast, and led the soldiers and horses to Kaizhou.

Daliang's military camp was also ready, and Situ Hao was discussing with Yuanhang in the camp tent.

"Father-in-law, you lead the troops to fight the west gate, and I will fight the south gate, these two gates are the main attack, and the north gate is a feint. If we besiege them to death, they will fight to the death, and it will be against us. Yuanhang stood in front of the table, looked at the map of Guzhou City and said.

"Well, when the city is broken, they will go through the east gate and retreat to Kaizhou, but I don't know if the five princes can capture Kaizhou." Situ Hao stared at the map and nodded.

"No matter what, after the city is broken, you must chase them after it, and you must not let them go back. Otherwise, the five princes will be in danger. Yuanhang pondered for a long time, and then said: "Father-in-law, it's better to be like this, I will be in charge of the city after the city is broken." You led your troops to pursue Xiaoliang's soldiers and horses, and chased them to the Longjiang River. If the five princes occupied Kaizhou, they would have no way out, either surrender or fight. If the five princes fail to occupy Kaeju, after they enter the city, my father-in-law will camp by the river, and after I have secured the city, I will go to join you and attack Kaeju together. ”

Situ Hao kept nodding, let out a long breath, got up and said, "Two days later, there will be another big battle." ”
