A troop of cavalry roared through the streets, disturbing the peace of the night throughout Luoyang City. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, the people of Luoyang City have been familiar with such a scene, since the Northern Expedition, Zhang Shijie, the secretary of the military department, stationed in Luoyang City, presided over various matters of the Northern Expedition, Luoyang City also became the rear of the main forces of the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty, not only the troops transferred from the south continued to gather outside Luoyang City, and then began to go north one after another, and even the caravans and grain and grass fleets that are not common on weekdays have doubled the number outside the city in Luoyang City.

It is said that His Majesty the Emperor, who has been here before, is to sit in this Luoyang City this time. The last time they saw His Majesty's face on the streets of Luoyang City, the people of Luoyang suddenly blew up, and everyone rushed to tell each other, waiting for the day when His Majesty came.

It is said that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is a real dragon, and he makes a wish on His Majesty's true body, and any wish can be fulfilled.

Even the Ming Emperor is coming, so it is already the norm for these two cavalrymen to go back and forth to convey messages.

Behind the two cavalrymen, there were 100,000 urgent order flags, and the soldiers at the city gate and the patrol soldiers on the street did not stop them, and the two soon rushed directly into the yamen of Luoyang Mansion. Although it was already late at night, the Luoyang Mansion was still brightly lit, and the officials and generals who came and went hurriedly walked by, and there was not much surprise to see the messenger who symbolized 100,000 urgency, after all, this is the Luoyang Mansion Palace, the logistics base of the Northern Expedition of hundreds of thousands of main forces, and there must be three or four 100,000 urgency from various battlefields every day, so everyone is no longer surprised.

"Where are the two Huai armies now?" Before the two messengers pushed the door in, they heard Zhang Shijie's voice, "It's been a long time on this side of the Baigou River, and General Wang and Supervisor Chen are also an excellent match, so they won't even be able to cross the Baigou River, right?" ”

"Qi Yu Xianggong, the battle report just sent earlier, the two Huai armies have broken through the Baigou River defense line, and the Mongolian Tartars are setting up defenses north of the Baigou River, and Boyan is still in charge, but because the battle of the Baigou River made the Mongolian Tatars lose their troops, so this line of defense seems to just want to block the army, and the Mongolian Tartars are now constantly retreating, and the intention of the turtle and Youyan is obvious." A military officer replied aloud.

Zhang Shijie nodded, and was about to speak, when he saw the messenger striding in, and immediately raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter, 100,000 urgent?" ”

"Qi Yu Xianggong, Shanxi urgent!" The messenger hurriedly took out the letter and handed it over.

Zhang Shijie was stunned for a moment, vaguely understood, and glanced back at the map, Kublai Khan's department had a decisive battle with the Balai Department on the grassland before, and finally although he let go of the Balai Ministry, but fortunately, the casualties of his tribe were not very large, so soon the main infantry and cavalry forces under the command of Kublai Khan, such as Namuhan and Aoduchi, had been regrouped, and continued to move southeast on the grassland.

As the leader of Ye Yingwu's Northern Expedition before arriving in Luoyang, Zhang Shijie naturally didn't want to see the last main force of the Mongol Tatars go south. After all, although Zhang Shijie holds the title of "Shangzhu Country", in the final analysis, he is still the secretary of the military department, not the Ming Emperor, from the overall situation, Zhang Shijie certainly does not want to watch Ye Yingwu lead the army north according to the plan, as the Ming royal family, Zhang Shijie knows very well that Ye Yingwu is the only pillar of the Ming imperial family. Naturally, the less adventurous the better.

However, Zhang Shijie has grown up from Long Laochen after all, and it can be said that he grew up watching Ye Yingwu, so like Wen Tianxiang, these "old ministers", naturally understand what to do and what not to do, since Ye Yingwu has made up his mind to do something, they will definitely not stop it, not to mention that the things that Ye Yingwu needs to do himself are all unsolvable problems.

After receiving the letter, Zhang Shijie did not take it apart in a hurry, and after taking a deep breath, he removed the fire paint unhurriedly.

The letter was sent by the Jinyi guard of Taiyuan Prefecture, and the Mongol Tatar forward cavalry had advanced to the area of the Lan army, and had actually entered the Shanxi border, that is, the border of the Northern Song Dynasty a hundred years ago. In addition to dispatching most of the troops to support Youyan, the Tianwu Army also left a lot of elite teams in the area of Feihu and Niangzi Pass, and defended the Taihang Eight Mountains, so as to prevent the Mongol army from crossing the Taihang Mountain to attack the flanks of the various armies of the Northern Expedition.

However, this is actually just a precaution, after all, for the main force of the Mongolian headquarters dominated by cavalry, it is definitely not a good choice to cross the Taihang Eight Mountains, after all, the open southern Shanxi region and even the entire north of Heluo can allow the Mongolian cavalry to gallop back and forth, and the Mongolians are not stupid, so they naturally will not think about stumbling to the end with the Ming army in the Taihang Eight Mountains.

For the Mongols, going directly south is the best, if not the only option.

"What is supposed to come is to come." Zhang Shijie finished reading the letter and couldn't help but sigh softly, "Has the news been sent to Your Majesty?" ”

"The same eight hundred miles were sent in an expedited manner." The messenger replied hastily.

"Then you step back and rest." Zhang Shijie said in a deep voice and walked to the front of the sand table.

This sand table is an invention of the Ministry of Industry, and it is said that it is also the idea of His Majesty, which is mainly to reproduce the mountains and rivers of the entire northern land as much as possible, so as to give the generals commanded in the rear the ability to go to the front line and be able to look down on the overall situation and consider the overall situation. It's just that the invention of the sand table is not long, which means that this very useful tool has not been able to be installed in the whole army, and the sand table is very large, not easy to carry, for the main army in the advance, it is impossible to carry with the army, the only way is to rebuild every place.

This also means that the Ministry of Industry must send craftsmen to accompany the army, which is definitely impossible for the announcement that there is no shortage of people or a shortage of people, and Guo Shoujing can't find so many people even if he hangs himself.

However, even if the number of sand tables is small, it is enough for the current Daming.

Picking up the black flag symbolizing the Mongolian army on the sand table, Zhang Shijie planted the flag in the position of the Lan army and looked at the surrounding staff: "This big battle is coming soon." ”

A staff member pointed to the sand table with some surprise: "Now the main army of the Ming Dynasty is attacking Youyan, even the two Mongolian heavy generals Boyan and Shi Tianze can't stop it, and the remaining cavalry of the Mongolian Tartars can be used as the last cavalry of the headquarters, how can they go all the way south along Shanxi, regardless of Youyan?" ”

"If it were now, I'm afraid the Mongolian Tatars would still consider whether to support Youyan." Zhang Shijie said in a deep voice, "But soon they will strengthen their confidence." ”

The surrounding staff and officials were a little surprised, but Zhang Shijie just looked at the map slightly.

When the Mongolian Tatars knew that the Ming Emperor was personally on the expedition, there was no reason not to go south!

――――――――――――-

"The Mongolian Tartars are quite fast." Ye Yingwu looked at the battle report that was urgently sent over by eight hundred miles in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. The dragon boat went along the canal and could only reach Luoyang Mansion tomorrow, but the Mongolian Tatars had already gone south non-stop.

It had not been five or six days since the last war report about the battle between the Namuhan tribe and the Bara tribe came, which means that the Mongols also realized the urgency of the current war situation, and even did not care about allowing the army to repair after a long battle, and immediately went south. This main force of the Mongolian army, which is dominated by cavalry, can be said to be Kublai Khan's last hole card, not only including the vast majority of the Mongolian steppe cavalry, but also many of Kublai Khan's cowardly Xue pro-army, all of which have been tempered by many battles, and are definitely not as simple as the Mongolian army that the Ming Dynasty is dealing with in Liaodong and Youyan now.

"Jiang Tie, Xiao Yangzi!" Ye Yingwu put down the music and shouted.

The two of them were waiting outside the door, but when they heard Ye Yingwu's voice, they hurriedly walked in.

"How's the Praetorian Guard preparing?" Ye Yingwu asked in a deep voice.

Jiang Tie obviously understood, and hurriedly bowed his hand: "Your Majesty, as long as Your Majesty gives orders, the Praetorian Guards can follow Your Majesty to fight at any time!" ”

Ye Yingwu nodded: "Tomorrow morning, take the first step, but Luoyang, go directly to the big river, let the sailors prepare the warship, and take the first step tonight." ”

"No!" Jiang Tie and Xiao Yangzi solemnly bowed their hands at the same time.

Ye Yingwu breathed a sigh of relief, pushed open the door and walked to the rear cabin. Outside the window, there was still a light rain, and you could hear the sound of raindrops falling on the eaves and the water. The cool wind blew in through the half-covered windows, stirring the placket. It's not early, Qing'er has already sent someone to prepare the fragrant soup for bathing.

On this day, Ye Yingwu was in the imperial study room to discuss the next step of the Northern Expedition with officials and staff, as well as the appointment of officials and grain and grass transportation in the newly recovered state capital. After all, the main forces slashed and killed in front regardless of it, and the mess left behind always needed to be cleaned up by the imperial court. Especially for the Ming Dynasty, where the number of officials has not been very sufficient, it is natural to be more cautious in the use of talents.

After a busy day, there is naturally a strong sense of exhaustion, especially tomorrow Ye Yingwu will take the Praetorian Guard directly to the north, the Mongolian cavalry came very quickly, when the urgent news of eight hundred miles came, it had already passed the Lan army, if Ye Yingwu stayed in Luoyang for a few more days, I am afraid that the Mongolian Tartars would have to drink the horse river.

The whole person was lying in the wooden barrel, Ye Yingwu exhaled a long breath, and the warm water flowed over the limbs, as if it had washed away the fatigue of the day in an instant. In the rising mist, the footsteps were very light. Ye Yingwu was used to it, and lay directly on the barrel, exposing his back. Although Hui Niang, this girl has never had a heart or lungs, as long as Ye Yingwu bathes, she will still come over to rub Ye Yingwu's back.

It's just that something seems to be wrong today, how can this strength be smaller than the strength that Ye Yingwu is used to?

"Hui Niang, why didn't you eat today?" Ye Yingwu looked back in surprise, Hui Niang, this girl looks weak, but after all, she is a girl who likes to run around, and the strength under her hands is much greater than that of girls like Lu Wanyan and Zhao Yunshu who grew up in the deep palace mansion.

However, Ye Yingwu didn't finish speaking, so he was stunned, because it was not Hui Niang who was standing behind him.

Gesang Qiao's face was flushed, and he didn't know if it was because he was smoked by the hot water vapor, or because he saw Ye Yingwu's naked body for the first time: "Sister Huiniang said she was tired・・・・・・

Ye Yingwu let out a meaningful "oh", Hui Niang, a clever little demon in ice and snow, was really completely prepared. Ye Yingwu went north this time, naturally it was impossible to take the two of them with him, after all, their identities were harem concubines, and they were not like Su Niang, who originally had martial arts or were the leaders of the six doors and the brocade guard, whether it was from the security aspect or from the action aspect, or from the aspect of maintaining Ye Yingwu's image as the commander of the expedition, it was a little inappropriate.

So it means that before Ye Yingwu came back from the Northland, there would only be one or two days to linger with Ye Yingwu. Before the expedition, Lu Wanyan personally selected Hui Niang and Gesang to accompany Ye Yingwu to the north, naturally because among the favored concubines in the harem, only these two were not pregnant. Let the two of them follow to the north, and also take this opportunity to continue the bloodline for the Ming royal family.

If Ye Yingwu went back safely after the Northern Expedition, and Lu Wanyan found that Gesang was still a chick who had not been touched by Ye Yingwu, I am afraid that Wang Qinghui would inevitably be blamed and laughed at. What's more, Ye Yingwu has never had too many requirements for the sleeping of the harem concubines, and basically handed it over to Lu Wanyan to be responsible for arranging, so when the time comes, as a punishment, Lu Wanyan will definitely have to clean up Hui Niang on this.

Hui Niang's mind is not stupid, and she is different from the other little demons in the harem. Lu Wanyan's greatest wisdom lies in covering her edge, as a queen, she is on an equal footing with the harem sisters, and everything is from the perspective of fairness and justice, which invisibly establishes her prestige; And Zhao Yunshu is well-read, comparable to Ban Ji's continued history and Xie Tingyongxue, but after experiencing the collapse of the country and the death of the family, the girl's daily thoughts and thoughts are to protect herself and her sister, and she doesn't take jealousy to heart at all. As for Qiqin, Su Niang and others, they are either plain or arrogant. So in fact, in the entire harem, only Hui Niang is the only one who has the ability to play palace fighting seriously and attentively.

However, Ye Yingwu's performance on weekdays invisibly proves his likes and dislikes, Hui Niang is not stupid, and she is also happy and leisurely, which is also the reason why Ye Yingwu's harem has maintained peace at least on the surface, and it is also the reason why Gesang appeared in front of Ye Yingwu.

It's just that Ye Yingwu still wants to complain, and with Hui Niang's lively appearance, she casually found an excuse to be sick, which is inevitably a little too much to deal with.

Ye Yingwu looked Gesang up and down, he actually had a good impression of this Tubo princess, mainly because the solo dance under the moon that night suddenly attracted Ye Yingwu's attention. After all, most of these women in the harem are gentle and weak, and suddenly there is such a one, which inevitably feels novel.

But for so long, Ye Yingwu didn't seem to have done anything except that he was drunk that night and slept with Gesang in his arms.

Touching his nose in disbelief, Ye Yingwu sighed with emotion.

has always been a well-dressed beast, when did he become a righteous gentleman?

Gesang looked at Ye Yingwu with some disdain, if it weren't for the fact that it was his own husband in front of him, or the saint of the Ming Dynasty today, I am afraid that Gesang would have already fled with his face.

Ye Yingwu turned around lazily: "What to do, do what, use more strength." ”

Gesang was stunned for a moment, but he still rubbed it hard in a trance.

"Are you crazy?!" Ye Yingwu gasped, the whole person jumped up at once, the water splashed, accompanied by the petals in the water, sprinkled on Gesang's body, the water droplets flowed down the clothes, Gesang's jacket was originally white, once the water droplets passed, there was no difference from transparency, the girl's convex and backward posture was perfectly exposed in front of Ye Yingwu with the clothes close to the body.

Coupled with the fact that a few petals were scattered on Gesang's hair, and the petals of the human face reflected each other, even Ye Yingwu couldn't say whether it was more charming or more green, and it was always Ye Yingwu who felt that a tight string in his heart broke all of a sudden.

Gesang looked at Ye Yingwu with a smile, obviously not coming back to his senses yet.

Ye Yingwu took a step forward suddenly, and the two looked at each other.

Gesang's eyes flashed with a layer of mist, and he didn't know if it was because of emotion or fear. Ye Yingwu slowly reached out to wrap around her slender waist, the belt didn't know when it had disappeared, and the almost translucent gown slid down the jade-like white fragrant shoulders, revealing a large area of snowy skin, and of course, the ravine that made Ye Yingwu's heart rush. (To be continued.) )
