Chapter 322: Chaotic Battle in the Central Plains (22)
People are sometimes so contradictory, they clearly regret it in their hearts, but they go further and further down the wrong road and refuse to turn back. www.biquge.info There are too many people and too many interests tied up in each other, but when she took the first step, she couldn't help herself.
In the winter of this year, Ying Guang, who was far away in Puyang, made the most correct choice, that is, he and Yu Shu went around in a big circle, and finally came together. Yu Shu doesn't have any opinion on this, what she cares about now is being with Ying Guang, as for the rest, it doesn't seem to be that important.
But on the day of the wedding, a mysterious guest suddenly came to Puyang City, which added a lot of brightness to the wedding of Yingguang and Yushu.
"Brother! What are you doing here! ”
When she saw that the dusty Concubine Yi rushed to Puyang in person, the dressed Concubine Shu could no longer control her emotions, and like a little girl, she threw herself into the arms of the Concubine Yi and cried silently.
The short bearded concubine looks much more mature than in the past, and has been in a high position for a long time, naturally bringing with it the majesty of some superiors, but all this has disappeared in front of his sister-in-law, and all that remains is strong family affection. I saw him pat Yu Shu's fragrant shoulder, and smiled gently: "How old are you, and you still cry your nose at every turn?" On this happy day, don't do this! ”
Ying Guang also answered on the side: "The banquet has been prepared for a long time, it's cold outside, let's go in and talk." ”
Today is a family banquet, no outsiders stayed, only Ying Guang's family of five took out the concubine wings, and during the banquet, they kept talking about the wedding, and the national affairs were not said at all, but when Ying Guangniang took Ying Yu back to the palace, Mo Yin and Yu Shu also withdrew from the banquet, and the concubine Yi said: "The king of Qin came to the edict not long ago, ordering my Yue's family to participate in the Central Plains war after the year, and now the court and the central government are arguing, and there is no statute until now." I came here in person this time, on the one hand, to attend your wedding with my little sister, and on the other hand, I want to hear your opinion. ”
Ying Guang frowned, and pondered for a while before he spoke: "If my expectations are correct, King Qin saw the combat power of your Yue Clan's cavalry in the process of attacking Zhao, and now he wants to drag your Yue Clan into the water completely. This is the first thing, Qin State will not let such a strong cavalry not be used, after all, what he wants is the unification of the Central Plains, and any strength is what he needs. And this second point is that the Yue's has developed steadily in recent years, and the national strength has been greatly improved, and the Qin State has been fighting for many years, and the national strength has been seriously depleted. ”
"The people in the court also said the same, so they don't advocate sending troops, but the difficulty is that there must be a sufficient reason not to send troops, otherwise the anger of the Qin State is not something that my Yue clan can bear."
Yu Yi's face was full of solemnity, and he knew very well in his heart that the Yue Clan had developed steadily for many years, and the national strength and people's livelihood had been significantly improved, but in the eyes of the Qin State, his own people were like ripe crops, and the Qin people, the farmer, had already raised his sickle and was ready to harvest.
Ying Guang rolled his eyes and suddenly asked, "What is the current situation of the Qiang people?" Did they raid the Moon Clan again? ”
"Qiang?"
Yu Yi shook his head and said with great certainty: "The situation of the Qiang clan is very bad, they have been suppressed by us to the southern corner, if it were not for the support of the Chu State, they would have been annexed by our Yue clan long ago." ”
"Can you be sure that Chu Guo is also involved?"
"Of course, the warriors of the Qiang tribe are equipped with the standard equipment of the Chu State on a large scale, if there is no shadow of the Chu people in this, with the current strength of the Qiang people, it is impossible to get those equipment!"
"Good! Someone! Go and pass on Gongsun Ze to come over! No matter what he's doing, he must enter the palace immediately! ”
In this way, in a small side hall in the Puyang Palace, a dim candle light up a small corner, here, three big men hid together muttering and muttering not knowing what they were talking about, and the sinister laughter from time to time made the picture even more weird.
"Drive! Drive! ”
In the middle of the white snow, a convoy of grain and grass struggled forward, not far ahead was the earthen fort where the Yue clan was stationed, and opposite them were the hungry and red-eyed Qiang people.
"Canglu, isn't our earthen fort already stocked with enough grain, why did you suddenly mobilize another batch of grain and grass?"
Zeng Keduo, who had a copper ring on his left ear, impatiently helped the snow foam in front of him off, and asked in a rough voice: "According to our current footsteps, I'm afraid we won't be able to return to the royal city before the first day." ”
"It's not that I'm afraid, it's that I definitely can't go back." Canglu flicked the whip, looked back at the big flag fluttering in the rear convoy, and suddenly whispered to Zeng Keduo: "I don't know how, I always have an ominous premonition, don't you think that this time we are a little too high-profile to transport grain, as if we are afraid that others will not know, the Qiang people on the opposite side are poor to death, you say, if you know that there is enough food for you and your people to spend the winter, what will you do?" ”
Zeng Keduo shivered coldly, looked left and right, and saw that no one noticed him, so he replied in a low voice: "Then I will definitely give it a go, as long as I can succeed, those old and weak people in the clan can survive this cold winter safely." It's just that the Qiang people have always had the help of the Chu State, no matter how miserable they are, they won't starve to death. ”
"The state of half-starvation and half-satiety is the most terrifying, people at this time have a certain amount of physical strength, and a strong enough desire, they will burst out with great combat power for a bite to eat, Chu State will not let its gatekeeper vicious dogs eat enough, at most they will not die of hunger."
Canglu tightened the reins of the horse, hesitated, and said: "Enter the earth fort and hand over as soon as possible, let the brothers grit their teeth and insist on insisting, just say that we have to rush back before the first day, I believe that the big guy will not say anything, in short, the sooner you leave this place of right and wrong, the better!" ”
Just as the long procession entered the earthen fort one after another, a small black dot suddenly appeared on a small earthen bag in the distance, and it was not until all the grain trucks entered the earthen fort that the black dot quickly left and disappeared into the vast snow.
