Chapter 10: The Roller Coaster (Part II) (Crying Blood for Subscription!) )
Because Hou Weiqing's line was with Liu Changyi, with Liu Changyi returning to Chang'an, it was handed over to Cui Qun. Cui Qun was a bachelor of Hanlin and followed the crown prince, and Hou Weiqing was of course very happy to deal with the people around the two generations of rulers of the empire. However, Wu Shaocheng's order to transfer him to the south was too hasty, and Hou Weiqing was unable to deliver the news to Cui Qun, so he led his troops out of Caizhou. Now that the opportunity has come, give it a try anyway.
There are two flowers, one on each branch. After Wu Yuanji left the city last night, Wu Shaoyang waited in the city tower as usual. said that it was waiting, but in fact, there was nothing to worry about, this was more of a father's expectation of his son. The Huaixi Army's best and proudest thing is to attack the camp. It's just that Wu Shaoyang didn't know that the Huaixi Army's last two attacks on the camp were unsuccessful. Once it was too small to take it seriously, and once it was too far away, and the news didn't come over.
But when the robbery began, Wu Shaoyang's heart still skipped an inexplicable beat. Standing on the south gate of Shenzhou, the official and military battalions ten miles away could not see clearly, not to mention that Wu Shaoyang's eyes are now old?
Half an hour later, the men and horses who received the response retreated and reported that they had been ambushed by the official army, and Wu Gongzi had broken through, and he did not know whether he was alive or dead. The troops that responded attacked from the periphery were blocked by the officers and troops, and they could not advance, because there was a tendency to be surrounded by the officers and troops, so they had to retreat.
Wu Shaoyang's heart chuckled, and he ordered to send more scouts to search, and more people to respond. But he was still worried about the city. After the official army wins, they will definitely take advantage of the situation to attack the city, so in Shenzhou City, which was already asleep, the lights were turned on again. Wu Shaoyang only has one son and one daughter, and although his son-in-law Dong Chongzhi is strong, he is an outsider and has never dealt with him. Although this son's ability is a little worse than Dong Chong's, he is still his own flesh and blood in the end.
Regarding Wu Shaocheng's condition, Wu Shaoyang knows better than Wu Yuanqing. Over the years, Wu Shaocheng has been extremely fond of Wu Shaoyang, accepted him as his brother-in-law, and allowed him to enter and leave his mansion freely. Wu Shaoyang also made twenty or thirty years of death for Huaixi, loyal to Huaixi, and did bad things to foreign towns. Until they are all old, and the next generation has reached the top of the door.
It's just that this next generation doesn't have the talent of the previous generation, nor does it have the strength of the previous generation. Now in the edict of the imperial court, it is specified that he will take his father and son-in-law. Wu Shaocheng knew that they had suffered on their behalf and were willing to take care of them, but Wu Shaocheng's current appearance, what if he was seriously ill and died? Wu Yuanqing is willing to stand up for his uncle, who is not a pro at all? I'm afraid that when the time comes, the court will only promise to leave him a state of land, and he will not hesitate to send his father, son and son-in-law to Luoyang.
If the three of them can work together, they can probably change the situation, right? Wu Yuanji is dignified and majestic, and his reputation in the army has always been better than Wu Yuanqing, and having a good heir is an important aspect for everyone to judge your development potential, so now Wu Shaoyang has been praying, Wu Yuanji must not have an accident. Otherwise, their grandfather and grandson alone would not be able to call on the entire army of Huaixi.
If there was a roller coaster (again) at that time, Wu Shaoyang would definitely say that his heart was at the bottom, and his motivation was seriously insufficient. This sentiment did not change until the first group of troops returned.
When the second batch of routs came back, Wu Shaoyang's expression became serious. Although this group of defeated soldiers came back late, they were slightly more neat and embarrassed than the previous group, and it seemed that they knew that they had escaped after a fierce battle. When they arrived at the foot of the city, the soldiers defending the city shouted to stop, and a mule general came out of the column and shouted:
"Lord Thorn Shi, the last general is Liu Ziye, the deputy general of the South Gate, who has just led his troops to break through, please open the city gate and let me wait to enter the city. Yan Qin's soldiers and horses are almost here! ”
Looking over from the city tower, the torch twisted like a long snake three or four miles away, and it was indeed a team full of 10,000 people, and the momentum was spectacular, but now Wu Shaoyang had no intention of appreciating it, and asked with his hand on the battlement:
"Where's General Wu?"
General Wu refers to Wu Yuanji. Speaking of military affairs in the army is Wu Shaocheng's consistent style. Liu Ziye, who had long known that Wu Shaoyang would ask, replied:
"The major general ordered the last general to lead his headquarters to the north to storm the south, and the general to lead his troops to storm the south, to test the thickness of the north and south of the official army, so as to decide the direction of the breakthrough. The last general went all the way to the north, and the siege was very strong at the beginning, but then weakened, and finally killed, but he didn't see the major general following behind, thinking that he was going to break through to the south road. ”
This is a designed answer, using Wu Shaoyang's psychology of concern and chaos to disturb Wu Shaoyang's mind, Wu Shaoyang is really confused, and even his voice is low. But he still held his nerve and asked:
"Aren't you a former general? When he was surrounded, he should have been trapped in the innermost part of Yan Qin's camp, how did he become the vanguard general who broke through to the north? ”
Liu Ziye replied:
"When the last general sneaked into Yan Qin's camp, the guards outside Yan Qinshuai's tent fled too fast, and the last general felt that something was wrong at that time, and before he could make a move, Yan Qin closed the siege. Because he saw the opportunity quickly, he withdrew from the camp in time, and the major general was ordered to break through to the north. ”
There was no flaw in the answer, but Wu Shaoyang muttered for a long time, seeing the fire snake in the distance getting closer and closer, and even the shouts of the officials and soldiers could be vaguely heard, and Song Zhi, the guard of the south gate, called:
"Lord Thorn Shi, do you want to open the door and let them come in first."
Liu Ziye under the castle also shouted anxiously:
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!"
Wu Shaoyang nodded, the drawbridge finally began to creak and squeak, Liu Ziye breathed a sigh of relief, and took the lead in riding a horse on the suspension bridge, seeing that more than a hundred people were about to finish, but the city gate still did not open, Liu Ziye raised his head and said:
"My lord! Checkmate! ”
But I saw a distorted face. Wu Yuanji said:
"Shoot!"
Liu Ziye was stunned for a while, the remnants of more than a hundred soldiers were stunned for a while, and the soldiers in the city were stunned for a while, but they still lowered their bows and arrows by inertia and released their bowstrings.
Of course, there are people who scold, but no one has time to scold, and there are people who want to wield weapons to dial, but they are always a beat slow. None of the more than 100 remnants ran away, and Liu Ziye was shot like a hedgehog. The crooked crescent moon, which had just revealed a small half of its face, hid in the thick clouds again. Song Zhi said in a trembling voice:
"General, why is that?"
Wu Shaoyang didn't answer, and after a long time, when the long snake of the official army arrived at the city, Wu Shaoyang said coldly:
"They are spies of the official army!"
Seeing that Song Zhi and others were suspicious, Wu Shaoyang added:
"Otherwise, why can't Yuanji come back?"
This explanation pales in comparison. In fact, Huaixi's humility is obvious, Wu Shaoyang doesn't need to explain at all, but he has always taken Wu Shaocheng as a specimen in his work, pursuing fairness and selflessness, and the handling of this matter obviously has a strong sense of anger, and he has to find an excuse for his orders.
But this excuse paled in the ears of the soldiers.
