When Wu Ming arrived at the prince's tent again, many people had already arrived, and there were already more than a dozen young generals of the family on the right, who were sitting there eating and drinking, talking and talking. Wang Zhili, who was troublesome with Huaiying yesterday, was also on the list, and he was probably hungry, and he didn't have any grace at all at this time. He was sitting cross-legged in his position, munching on the case. What is surprising is that Huai Ying actually arrived, although Wu Ming had no impression of him, he looked at his pig-like head, and it was wrapped in a white cloth. I knew that it must be this person, and at this time, he was sitting in a corner on the right. While drinking wine hatefully, he looked at Wang Zhili, but now that he was in the prince's camp, he didn't dare to make a mistake.

On the left, Yan Hou also arrived early, sitting in front, drinking alone and drinking stuffy wine. Maybe it's to save space. Or the unhappiness of forgetting that the two teams are dying. Wu Ming found that his position was arranged next to Yan Hou, and the seats of the three teams behind Yan Hou had been withdrawn. Ge Yizheng took a few Shi Chang and Tian Hong, Zuo Ying and others to whisper something, and it seemed that the two sides were chatting happily.

Sixteen female musicians are sitting behind the prince's seat, playing the song "Autumn Fruit" of the Four Seasons Music of Shangshu Bureau, which has four more famous songs, namely "Spring Return", "Summer Fire", "Autumn Fruit", and "Winter Silence". Usually civil and military officials, there are children, marriages, injuries and funerals, competitions and so on. Occasionally, the emperor would give pleasure to his high-ranking courtiers as needed. Eight palace maidens are usually sent to perform. This is a great honor for the courtiers who give pleasure. And the army generally does not play this song, but today the prince is a happy wine, and it is appropriate to play this song.

Yes, it was sixteen people, and He Yi was also sitting, and fifteen female musicians in pale yellow palace clothes were sitting behind him. She sat alone in the front row, where she was leading.

She was dressed in a sky-blue silk dress today. Covered with a white shawl. Then use a blue belt to tie it around the waist. highlights his delicate figure better. The sound of the lute that contained the joy of autumn was spilling from her slender fingers. Behind him, the female musicians responded accordingly. It also sets off her like the king of flowers.

The court ladies have strict dress codes. And He Yi's outfit obviously does not belong to the costume of the Shanggong Bureau. It seems that the crown prince only transferred him temporarily.

Seeing Wu Ming coming, her eyes lit up. looked at Wu Ming, and happened to meet Wu Ming's gaze. Her face flushed, and she hurriedly sat upright, staring intently at her hands.

Wu Ming walked straight to Yan Hou's side, and he was not polite, and sat down: "Commander, why are you so unhappy?" ”

Yan Hou turned his head, looked at him, and then pointed to the dozen or so disciples of the family who were laughing and scolding at You Zi on the opposite side, and whispered: "What do you say these people are happy, they are all so happy every day when they are dying." ”

Wu Ming was taken aback in his heart, could it be that the other party also knew the news that our back road was cut off, and it was not impossible to have the status of Yan Hou.

Wu Ming asked, "How can you see it?" ”

"This time, the family that supports the Li family in the north sends out all the children who are pustules, or they are abandoned children. Isn't that clear? After speaking, Yan Hou sighed: "Actually, I have also become an outcast, which is really ironic." ”

Although Yan Hou is a member of the Yan clan, he has nothing to talk about with Wu Mingming. Treat Wu Ming like a nephew. Hearing him say this at this time, he naturally wanted to ask the bottom of the question: "Commander, what is going on?" ”

Yan Hou continued to whisper: "Zhao Fei is only one of the three strong contenders for the head of the family at home, and Xiahou Fei has an older brother who is more capable than him, so it goes without saying that Lu Jinglun." Nuo, the black boy you persuaded yesterday on the other side was probably abandoned by his family to be cannon fodder, so stupid. Also, you see, the dozen or so people on the other side, which one is a good thing? It's all sent to be cannon fodder, or to vent His Highness's anger. ”

Wu Ming shuddered violently when he heard his analysis, and seemed to see Tai Lieutenant Li Tie hiding in an unknown dark place, bursts of dark laughter like a night owl, and his voice was in his ears, and he hurriedly settled down and asked: "So, then Li Tie's rebellion was premeditated?" ”

Yan Hou smiled bitterly: "That's for sure, I only reacted when I got the back road cut off yesterday." Alas, my old bones, when I die, I will die, and it is also my duty to be loyal to His Highness. It's just that the wives and children at home are suffering. ”

The Yan family, as a big clan in the north, supports Li Tie, and Yan Hou is the commander of the guard battalion. You must listen to the prince's command. In recent years, with the increasingly acute contradictions between the two groups of Taiwei and Prime Minister, Yan Hou has become more and more difficult to do. often complained in front of Wu Ming. Wu Ming knew.

He comforted: "The old lady and Brother Yan Fei must be fine, don't worry too much about the commander." ”

Yan Hou nodded: "Hopefully, if I don't die this time, I will resign from this position when I go back, and accompany them at home with peace of mind." lest it be difficult for them to do it. In the future, the safety of His Royal Highness will be handed over to Lord Wu. ”

While the two were talking, everyone had already arrived at the camp in twos and threes. When everyone arrived, the old eunuch pointed out a male duck's voice: "Your Highness has arrived, please get up." ”

Everyone got up at the same time, saluted, and in a solemn atmosphere, the prince helped Tao Yu and slowly walked out of the room.

Tao Yu was wearing a loose red robe today, and his face and eyebrows were full of joy. A face is even more radiant. And the prince, in addition to his pale, looks still more energetic. There was also a smile on his face.

The two walked to the middle and stood still, the prince waved his hand, signaling that everyone did not need to be polite, and after everyone sat down, the prince said: "It is estimated that the generals, the adults already know, today's banquet for everyone, one is the discussion of retiring the army, and the other is that I am happy with the emperor's grandson." I hope you all have fun with me today. ”

Everyone responded in a neat voice: "Congratulations to Your Highness!" ”

The prince didn't say much, and paused the jade teacup on the table: "Although this southern expedition has not been completed, it has also gained a lot. Yesterday, I heard that some of the Nanban naval forces were landing in our rear and wanted to cut off our army's retreat. I have made contact with Governor Zhu, flanked the front and rear, broken the enemy's army, and marched into this division. What do the generals think of the unfinished business for the coming year? ”

At this time, Chen Jianfei was the first to stand up and say: "Your Highness, the last general thinks that this southern expedition, as His Highness said, is indeed a great gain. Presumably, the Nanban will also be afraid of the power of our army. As long as we withdraw our troops and return to the division to rest and recuperate, and fight again in the coming year, the Nanban will inevitably surrender. ”

I just don't know if General Chen knows the real military situation, if he does, Wu Ming not only admires his personality, but also admires his work of not changing his face when Mount Tai collapses and lies.

At this time, Tao Ziqian also stood up and said: "Your Highness, if the enemy continues to reinforce in the rear, I am afraid that the grain route will be dangerous. The lower officers also agreed to withdraw from the army. ”

This person is really lying, and his face has not changed, and Wu Ming has become numb.

The two of them are military veterans and logistics, so most of the people in the army have also noticed the abnormality from the recent food restrictions. It must be in favor of the retreat.

At this time, in the Chinese army, a weak voice came out: "Brother Prince, now that Xinhe has not been taken, if they come again next year, they are also prepared." Isn't that much more difficult? ”

Wu Ming fixed his eyes and saw that this person was Zhu Yuhu who went with him to arrest Lu Jinglun last time.

The second son of the governor of Jiangnan, Zhu Yuhu.

Although the other party is a small tooth goalkeeper, the prince is not easy to brush the other party: "I wish the little general's words are indeed reasonable, but the three armies are currently tired, and the weather is hot, so it is really not suitable to fight again." ”

The prince said this easily, but he was already war-weary. The meaning of these words. Anyone can hear it.

Zhu Yuhu said: "As long as Your Highness gives me another 10,000 soldiers, I will definitely level the new river for Your Highness." ”

The prince hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I wish the little general that he is really a tiger father without a dog, and his courage is really commendable." Who wants to join forces with General Zhu Xiao? Let's set foot in New River City together? ”

The prince is probably also angry, he actually said such sarcastic words, who is still crazy now? Go and attack New River City.

I knew that there was really a madman, and at this time a big man who looked like a black tower jumped out and shouted: "Is there anything to eat?" If I have something to eat, I'll go. ”

Wu Ming groaned, this person was none other than Wang Zhili, Lord Wang.

The prince was stunned, he really didn't expect that there were so many heroes in his army who were not afraid of death, and he looked Wang Zhili up and down for a long time, but he didn't know how to answer.

At this time, there was another person standing in front of the crowd on the right, it was Li Yuan, the commander of the left army, who said respectfully: "Now, the weather is hot day by day, and it is really difficult to open up the situation for a long time. ”

Li Yuan was already very tall, but Wu Ming looked at him more and more pleasing to the eye, and felt even taller.

As soon as he said this, he was the chief general of the three armies, and there were already two main generals who advocated retiring from the army.

At this time, Xie Chuan, the commander of the Middle Route Army, also stood up, his face expressionless: "The ministers are attached to General Li!" ”

Attached to General Li Li's proposal, that is to say that he is in favor of withdrawing from the army! It is not surprising that his opinion is the opinion of the prince. In this way, the commanders of the Third Route Army all agreed to withdraw their troops, and although there were still twists and turns, the strategy for retreating troops that had been drawn up long ago was finally settled.

The prince knocked the jade teacup on the table again: "Then it's decided, the troops will be withdrawn from tomorrow, and the right army will be broken by General Chen!" ”

Now that the agreement to withdraw from the army has been decided, all that remains is to have a wedding feast. Now, many people think that they can return to the dynasty immediately, although there are still some Southern Barbarian naval troops behind, but since the prince said it easily, plus there are still his own troops to attack before and after. So no one took it seriously. They all slackened.

For a time, the whole camp tent was staggered. Rejoice.

At this time, He Yi and a group of female musicians had already changed to the song "Spring Return", and at the climax, I saw He Yisu flick his fingers suddenly, and the palace was raised and became a horn sound. It sounds like the first birdsong of spring, lonely and loud. All the female musicians in the rear are in unison. Suddenly, like spring returning to the earth, everything recovers, the greenery is proud, and a hundred flowers are blooming. For a moment, all the female musicians' hands waved rapidly, stirring up a hazy light in the tent.

They played: bare hands swinging, shadow playing the lute. Spring returns to the earth, and the warmth is condensed!

Wu Ming heard it: The storm and the banana were indiscriminately attacked. Tears splashed, a mess!
