56. Chapter 56
Before dawn that day, Cheng Qinghe rode on the back of the horse with sleepy eyes, rubbed his sore neck vigorously, this military camp tent really didn't sleep well, and he was woken up by the noisy gong as soon as he squinted, saying that it was morning exercise.
The heavy armor on his body was in pain, Cheng Qinghe looked at the sky that had been turning white for a long time, it was still dark in this barracks, but a lot of torches were lit one after another, and he suspected that Rong Yixuan was deliberately manipulating him.
But as the procession marched to the outside of Yunzhou City, Rong Yixuan was there early, and across the horizon, the firelight flashed in the distance, dull and black.
He gasped and hurried forward.
Is it a death to leave the country? The striker was injured for only a few hours, and now the whole army has come to occupy Shazhou, and it is indeed close and convenient to come to Yunzhou to call the battle.
Rong Yixuan locked his eyebrows, and looked coldly at the troops leaving the country in front of him, and Cheng Qinghe did not look back when he came.
He secretly relaxed, this Cheng Qinghe's intestines are straight and reckless, if Cheng Qingsu or Cheng Qingxuan comes, he is only afraid that he will be busy coping, fortunately, Cheng Qingxuan's supervision of the transportation of grain and grass is far away from the army, and he does not need to be distracted in the current days.
On that day, Cheng Qingxuan recommended his younger brother, so that Rong Yixuan had an additional lieutenant general, which was not a bad thing for him.
But even if he asked the left and right generals to come, it would be much more useful than this inexperienced Cheng Qinghe, he stared at the flickering fire in front of him, his eyes flashed.
More than ten years ago, the west should still be vulnerable, when did there be such a smart general with troops, unwilling to give Yunzhou City a chance to breathe, and counterattacked before dawn?
But the army line on the other side did not advance, but just held on and looked at each other from a distance.
After a long time, the sun rose, shining on the sand, and the army still did not move.
Cheng Qinghe yawned so much that he almost fell asleep.
King Yu didn't seem to care about the war at all, and the troops of King Yu, who had always been brave and good at fighting, were leisurely serving as turtles in the city at this moment, and it took a long time before slowly dispatching the garrison to build a defensive line outside the city.
The army that came to the royal capital dryly, and the self-caring attitude made the soldiers in the barracks whisper, saying that these generals looked like they were separated, and they didn't know if this battle was over before they went to deal with Xi Liguo.
Cheng Qinghe finally couldn't hold it anymore, so he got off his horse and walked into the tent that had been erected to hide from the wind and sand. In times of war, there was nothing to eat except dry food and water.
He didn't mind munching, and looked at Rong Yixuan as soon as he lifted the curtain and sat in, and when Shuyan saw him, he was just waiting outside the tent.
Cheng Qinghe looked at Rong Yixuan, who was as cold as ice, since he left the capital with the army, this guy's expression has never fluctuated, and he will always be so cold. Does this departure from the west have any grudges with him, he always looks at the west with a murderous eye, as if he can surrender without a fight on the other side at a glance.
He also inquired carefully about Ruoyun's news, only to hear that there was a suspicious carriage out of the city that night, and nothing else. There was a lot of exploration along the way, and the last clue was that an unknown woman entered Yizhou City, but fled overnight.
traced all the way to Yunzhou, and the clues sank into the sea.
Fortunately, Rong Yixuan never asked about his secret visits, and he didn't seem to care about Ruoyun, who was once his "concubine".
Every time he thinks of this, Cheng Qinghe has an indescribable anger, the people of the Rong family are all talented, but the eldest brother is right, the emperor is a fox, and this Rong Yixuan Rong Wang Ye is by no means a good type. Otherwise, how could Ruoyun be left alone?
The eldest brother usually has a lot of conflicts with him, but he hasn't embarrassed him in the past few days, but has given him a lot of convenience, and made him feel that this Rong Yixuan seems to be changing people's faces.
He bit the cake and watched Rong Yixuan sit motionless on the main couch, his knife-like eyes seemed to pass through the camp tent, and he couldn't help but take a piece and hand it to him: "Alas, how much do you eat, you can fight a tough battle with this stare?" ”
Rong Yixuan's eyes moved, and he turned his head to look at him.
Cheng Qinghe hurriedly added: "Don't get me wrong, I, the nominal lieutenant, have never led soldiers, so you have to count even me." ”
Rong Yixuan stared at his hand, his sharp gaze as if he was about to find poison from the food he handed over.
Cheng Qinghe's hand was so stiff, and after a long while, he still took it and chewed it as if nothing had happened.
Cheng Qinghe looked at his expressionless face, and remembered his eldest brother Cheng Qingsu, who had always stood like a corpse, and secretly rejoiced that it was not bad to be at the border here, at least he didn't have to be inexplicably reprimanded.
However, Rong Yixuan's attitude of not taking himself seriously at all, he was slightly annoyed.
I should have drugged the dry food just now!
Cheng Qinghe angrily stuffed all the cakes into his mouth, clapped his hands and lay down on the simple shop.
Rong Yixuan glanced at him, seeing that he was crossing Erlang's legs, completely treating the front line as Cheng Wang's mansion, no wonder Cheng Qingsu scolded him, if he had such a younger brother, he would have to clean it up.
He raised his head slightly, he was in the royal family, and he envied these kings with different surnames who were regarded as thorns in the eyes of the royal family, but he didn't know that this royal blood and blood, all of them were fighting to the death, for the throne, everyone had to endure humiliation and steal their lives, and they fought hard.
With a faint sigh, he picked up the water bladder and took a few sips.
In the end, the king with a different surname is a force cultivated by the previous emperor, and Rong Jinhuan, who has just ascended the throne for three years, not only does not want to rely on this force, but wants to gradually eradicate them, and the words given to Cheng Qingsu in front of the palace are the beginning.
And he Rong Yixuan has long been with Cheng Qingsu like fire and water, just on the theory of the great drought in the south, one advocates water diversion and the other advocates returning farmland to forests, and has fought for many times on the Golden Palace.
The border pass is on Wang Xiongba's side, and he still can't figure out whether it is an enemy or a friend, but he can be pushed to the border pass by Rong Jinhuan like this, and he has no way to retreat.
Either be loyal to Rong Jinhuan, or, tear your face?
It would be more appropriate for him to choose the former for the time being. And at the moment of the great enemy, he has no choice at the moment, and he must join forces with King Yu to retreat from the enemy.
But he still has his own plans after all, and General Zhao came to Yunzhou to see him three years later, which undoubtedly gave him the most powerful support signal.
Even in today's chaotic situation, Ruoyun's face always has a smile on her face, and she comes to mind from time to time, and she is more radiant than everything.
Since ancient times, the war has been cruel, the gongs and drums can't cover the blood of relatives and tears, and a song in front of her palace is like water, which makes the Son of Heaven smile and jealousy, but it also knocks on the feelings he has left behind his mind for several years.
What Zhao Tian said is actually not wrong.
He sighed again, put down his water bladder, and let the confusion of thoughts spread in his mind.
The door curtain opened, and Shuyan poked his head in: "Master, King Yu invites you to enter the city to discuss matters. ”
Rong Yixuan nodded, and just as he was about to get up, Cheng Qinghe's lazy voice came from behind him: "I won't go, say hello to King Yu for me." ”
Rong Yixuan snorted coldly, but he didn't refuse, threw off the hem of his clothes and stepped out of the tent.
Seeing him go, Cheng Qinghe got up and shook off the crumbs on his clothes and went out.
It rained in the next few days, at first it was still a light rain, but it became heavier and heavier, and finally the torrential rain swept through Yunzhou City violently with strong winds.
The water level of the stream-like river outside the city had risen so high that it had overflowed the low-lying valley in just two days, and the barracks along the river had to retreat to avoid the raging water.
But it was at the time of this rainstorm that the army that had been confronting Tianyi for several days suddenly attacked.
Yu Wang's garrison bore the brunt of the attack, while meeting the enemy from the front and defending Yunzhou, Yu Wang's division attacked the enemy from the left flank, while Rong Yixuan's army broke through and scattered from the right flank.
Within half a day, the frontal army that left the country in the west turned from offensive to defensive, and retreated one after another.
In the end, Yunzhou City was well prepared, and the weapons in the rear were continuously sent to the front line, and for a while, the preparations in the barracks were in full swing, and even Ruoyun and Zhang Yu were sent to transport bundles of arrows.
News of the enemy's defeat and retreat continued to come from the front, and the morale of the barracks was greatly boosted, and everyone was full of enthusiasm. It was raining heavily, and it didn't take long to flood people, and the woodland at this moment seemed to be a quagmire, and the group walked one foot deep and one foot shallow, and from time to time there were crackling raindrops blindfolded.
Ruoyun vigorously lifted the wooden box to the car, wiped her face, and sniffed, the torrential rain washed the thirsty earth, and the faint smell of dirt penetrated into her nose.
Although this early spring is cold and rainy, spring is still coming.
"I can't see that you, a soldier in the army, are still so good-looking." The cold sound startled her.
Zhang Yu on the side wiped his face vigorously, I don't know if it was sweat or rain, and looked at her face vaguely in the heavy rain.
Ruoyun's face turned white.
The rain washed away the dirt on her face, did he recognize that she didn't look like a man?!
What to do, do you want to escape?
After a moment's hesitation, Yao Huashan in the rear suddenly let out a huge roar, and the hurried footsteps in the barracks stopped, turning their heads to look at the mountain.
There was no mud pouring down on the mountain, no rocks rolling down, not like a flash flood, only a few places of smoke rising from the mountains.
After a while, a dense mass appeared on the top of the mountain, and when I got closer, I realized that it was a man dressed in earthy yellow, rushing towards him with a great roar and a torrential rain.
"Is it the West Leaving the Country?!" Someone shouted, and the barracks suddenly went into chaos.
Ruoyun clenched her fists, but she couldn't move a step.
Yunzhou relies on Yao Hua Mountain, and how easy is it for the army to bypass the garrison and sneak into the mountain?
Ruoyun clenched her hands, and her heart was slightly cold: Coming from the territory of Tianyi, this is only afraid of the Qingping Sect!
Bai Ze said that the Qingping Sect often crouched on the mountains like a bandit, and this organized and large-scale organization was probably planned long ago.
The smoke must have been intended to cause landslides and mudslides, but unfortunately the heavy rain doused most of the gunpowder, so they had to send men and horses to kill them directly.
When she thought of this, she couldn't help but shudder: I am afraid that the defeat of the front line was only deliberate.
