Volume 2 Chapter 16
As soon as the emperor ordered it, an embroidery lady came to measure my size, and the palace rushed to make robes overnight. The Empress Dowager, Qiyan, and Ning Yanxi, as if they had made an appointment, took turns to come to my palace to sit, really just sitting, and sometimes even silently. I've always talked a lot, but I've also been silent, and we all know what we're facing
I got the armor I hadn't seen for a long time, and my eyes were a little hot. Lin Tao is the head coach, and I am just the deputy coach, but it is enough.
Before the send-off before the expedition, Qiyan also participated with red eyes. I also know in my heart that if I say goodbye today, goodbye, I don't know what time it will be.
From the imperial capital to Yuncheng, it was also three days. I didn't stay in one place for long.
When he arrived in Yuncheng, Lin Tao didn't care about any rest, and the first thing he did was to go up to the city tower to see how the battle was going. As a deputy, I naturally have to accompany me.
The guards guarding the city all looked at me with different eyes, not believing it but not daring to speak. Left, but because I'm the lord of the county, I'm a daughter.
After inspecting the city tower, when I returned to the general's mansion, I had a meeting in full swing. However, I was not in this group meeting. Lin Tao didn't allow me to fight. I've been grinding and soaking all the way, but he still wants me to guard the rear. If I use the identity of the county lord to pressure him, he will just say "will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected"
The nights in Seoki seem to be much colder than those in Heijo. I can't help but laugh at myself, but after being the county lord for a few days, I have developed this strange habit! If you are in Guangyang Hall at this moment, surrounded by charcoal pots, how can you know if it is cold outside.
Looking at the bustling Jin military camp in the distance, I turned sideways and asked, "How has the recent battle been conducted?" ”
"Back to the county lord, it is strange to call the battle twice a day, they don't seem to have the heart to fight, they just call for battle, and the two armies have not fought in recent days."
I looked over there uneasily, afraid it wasn't a heart-attacking technique. I am afraid that in the long run, the people of this city will turn against themselves. This tactic is the same as that of Yucheng at the beginning.
I came down from the castle tower, led a horse casually, and hurried to the general's mansion. The guards at the gate of the General's Mansion didn't know me, but they still knew me as the county lord.
When I pushed open the study, Lin Tao was losing his temper, which made me feel inexplicable for a while. When he saw me come in, he bowed to me slightly, but the anger on his face did not dissipate. They gave me the middle, and I still stood at the door, "Generals don't need to be polite, this is the city of Wan, not the city of Ping." However, Wen Heng was curious, what made General Dilin so angry? ”
"What else could there be, but such a bad situation! The county lord should go back to the room to rest first! ”
I walked over to the main seat in the middle and sat down, "Discuss the battle situation?" That's where the balance comes in! ”
"County Lord, the matter of the battlefield is by no means a child's matter, you have been tired all the way, it is better to go back to the room and rest!
The person who said this, I know, the general who came over some time ago, is named Wei Tu. For the generals who are willing to invite Ying to come here, I have no intention of making things difficult. I tried to make my tone a little more respectful, "I heard the soldiers on the tower of the city say that the Jin Kingdom has called for battle several times, why hasn't the general met the battle?" ”
"Back to the county lord, it's not that we don't want to fight, but as soon as we sent troops, the Jin country withdrew. Isn't this a trick on us! ”
I looked at the sand table in front of me, "Generals, don't be too restrained!" You may be seated! This is a frontier, not a palace. Wen Heng should still listen to your command at this moment. Even if the emperor's cousin comes, he should be polite to everyone. ”
After the generals sat down, the anger on Lin Tao's face also dissipated a lot, and I said slowly: "Everyone, do you know the battle of Zhou Qi a year ago?" ”
Wei Tu said: "What the county lord said should be the battle of Yucheng." The minister has heard of it. I heard that the general of Yucheng, the general of the city, died in that war, which is really embarrassing. ”
"The method used by this Jin State is somewhat the same as the strategy of King Li during the Battle of Yucheng. Just shouting war, not fighting. This repetition only wears down the consciousness of the people in the city. ”
Lin Tao said, "How can the county lord know about the battle of Yucheng? ”
"Lord Lin also knows that I didn't grow up in the royal family since I was a child, and I once met a woman who fled, she was a maid by Empress Xuanyi's side. So I know something about Yucheng. I said these words without a red face and a heartbeat
This is the excuse I have already thought of on the road. "The battle of Yucheng is a helpless move not to send troops, the state politics of Zhou are controlled by Sun Fu, the new emperor of Zhou has just ascended the throne, and he does not have much ability to compete with Sun Fu. Yucheng really has no soldiers, it just so happens that General Shang at this time is in the period of illness, if Yucheng rashly sends troops! It's handed over. ”
The minister also heard about this, and heard that it was Queen Xuanyi who went out of the city to fight, which boosted a little morale. It's a pity that Yucheng was not defended later, and the businessman's father and daughter died for the country. ”
Seeing the general sigh with emotion, I was a little overwhelmed. However, I realized a problem, I may not be able to restore the identity of Shang Wu in my life.
"Now Yuncheng is not uninhabited, and the generals are also heroes, so they can't be bullied by the Jin Kingdom like this."
Wei Tu said: "The county lord doesn't know, and now the only one who can die on the battlefield for the Wei State is me." The opposing coach is the lord of Jinguo. If we rush into battle, I am afraid that we will only lose our troops. ”
"The generals' considerations are not unreasonable, so Ming'er will let Wen Heng go and call the battle."
Before I finished speaking, Lin Tao immediately objected. I said: "I have heard of Yan Jun before, I heard that he is a martial man, but he is by no means a violent person, I go this time, the danger should be much lower." "I spoke in a quieter and quieter voice, just because I remembered that I was also thinking about Chu Yi like this when I was in Yucheng, so I dared to run to the battlefield alone. Now that the old trick is repeated, I am a little inexplicably restless, "This matter, it's settled." If you don't let me go out and call for war, I won't give you good fruit to eat. ”
With that, I took my leave and went back to my room. Of course, this room was found only by the maid in the house. I changed my armor, put on my midcoat, hugged the next door, and stood in front of the window. Chu Yi, shouting battle tomorrow, you should also know that I have arrived in Yuncheng. I don't know if you have anything to do with this war. I wish it didn't matter. However, you are the king of Li, you are the god of war of the Qi country, how can I think like that.
The chill hit, and I closed the window, lay down on the bed, and forced myself to sleep. It's been a long, long time since I dreamed of my daddy. The yellow sand was all around, and he was standing there with a sword, and I wanted to go over and hug him, and I wanted to be coquettish with him, but I couldn't move at all.
After an uncomfortable night, and the roosters crowed outside, I sat up from my bed, changed into my armor, and went out with my sword in my hand. Just walked out of my small compound! I was shocked by the scene in front of me. Several generals are already guarding the gate of my small courtyard.
Lin Tao said: "The ability of the county lord! The minister has already seen it. The county lord's decision, we can't veto. But please think about it. ”
"Don't worry, my brother knows my character, and if I can't come back after this trip, my cousin won't ask you about your sins. Someone has to go this time, and we can't wait for the people in the city to make a fuss. In terms of strength, Wen Heng is naturally inferior to the generals, this time it is not for the purpose of fighting, but to tell the people of Yuncheng and the people of Wei that our Wei generals are capable of protecting them. ”
Lin Tao sideways took a cloak from the person behind him and surrounded me, "I'll wait on top of the city tower." No matter what happens, the county lord must protect himself! ”
I nodded, they had already brought me a horse. I stroked its mane, "Looks like we're finally going to fight side by side again!" ”
Xiaobai roared and raised his front hooves, it seemed that he was quite confident. Just have faith. I rolled over and got on my horse and went with my little white to the Jin State military camp. A few of the small soldiers in the garrison camp were first on guard, and then they were obviously stunned.
But someone still went in to tell me. I held the axe in my hand and said nothing, but I didn't let my guard down in the slightest.
After waiting for a while, a person finally came out of it. When he saw me, he laughed, "I have long heard that the Wei State sent the county lord here, and what I saw today is indeed true." Is this Wei really unmanned? This sentence caused the latter to laugh.
I said coldly, "I don't know who Your Excellency is?" It's just that there is a good saying, kill chickens with a knife. Wen Heng is a daughter, so she naturally came here. ”
"You yellow-haired girl actually has a yellow mouth! Take your life! "A young man suddenly rushed out with his horse, and I rode out as well. I rushed to Yuncheng all the way, and I didn't forget to practice weapons every day, and occasionally I would fight with Lin Tao. Although the axe is heavy, it is in my hand, and it is finally much more handy. The man's move was very fierce, and he hit the death hole directly, but fortunately, my brother trained me with speed. Every time I was able to dodge his attacks.
He was advancing too hard for me to catch his moves, and I felt that I couldn't slow down a little, so I grabbed the saber at my waist and patted Xiaobai as he attacked me, and it took a few steps forward! I lay on my back on my horse, and with my strength I slashed at the horse's hooves, which lifted its front hooves in pain. Although I always feel sorry for the innocence of the horse on the battlefield, scratching its hind hooves at this moment is a choice that I can't think about much.
The general fell heavily from his horse, and I took the opportunity to scratch his eye. While he was wallowing in pain, I cut off his head with an axe. Jin Jun exclaimed one after another, and I held back the nausea that rolled up in my stomach and bent down to hold his bun. As soon as I pulled the reins, Xiaobai quickly turned around and ran. I said in a loud voice: "The general of the Jin Kingdom has actually lost to the lord of this county!" Joyfully! Joyfully! ”
I prayed in my heart that Xiaobai would run quickly and fight alone, I could still do it, but if the Jin Army was provoked, I was afraid that I would be more than lucky. It's not that I'm afraid of death, it's just that I'm the county lord, and if it's not special, I must ensure that I stay in the military camp of the Wei State well.
Strangely, the Jin army did not catch up, and when I arrived at the gate of Yuncheng, the gate was immediately opened. I jumped off my horse and threw the man's head at a creep. Wei Tu took the head, and suddenly laughed, "The county lord is indeed not to be underestimated. Do you know who this is? ”
There was a bout of discomfort in my stomach, but I still asked seriously, "Who is this?" ”
"This is Murong Fu, the general of the Jin Kingdom! Weichen is not skilled in martial arts, and he has been defeated by Murong Fu in several battles. Unexpectedly, the county lord beheaded this old thief off the horse for the first time. ”
I subconsciously glanced at Murong Fu, but soon looked away, and the discomfort in my stomach finally broke out. I threw up holding on to the wall. Lin Tao patted me on the back, and I was a little relieved. "General Wei, I'll send the county lord back to rest first, and you will be responsible for the rest."
I had just vomited so much that I didn't even have the strength to get on my horse. Wei Tu suggested finding a carriage, but I refused, if someone saw a soldier riding in a carriage, and then someone with a heart to use it, I am afraid that it will cause some bad consequences.
I struggled for a long time, but I still didn't get on the horse. Xiaobai was anxious and kept rubbing his head against my hands. Lin Tao approached me and said in a low voice: "County Lord, it's abrupt!" ”
Before I could react, he suddenly covered me with his cloak. My feet were light, and I felt like my whole body was in the air. I realized that Lin Tao had picked me up on the horse. He covered me with his cloak, and I was shrunk in his cloak, and I could feel that the horse was fast, and it should be my little white.
Murong Fu's appearance kept flashing in front of my eyes, and I don't know why tears flowed out. It's not like I haven't been on the battlefield, and it's not like I've never killed someone, but it's the first time I've done it to someone. I don't know if I'm going to have nightmares. In the battle of Yucheng, I just picked the other party off the horse, and I didn't think about taking his name, but this time is different, there is still hope for Yuncheng! I don't want Yuncheng to become the second Yucheng.
"County Lord, it's here!"
I wiped my tears, lifted the cloak over my head, and jumped off my horse. I was about to speak, but I heard him call out "County Lord". I said, "If the general has something to say, please tell me!" ”
"County Lord, there is a first time in everything! Now that the county lord is here, he should know what he is facing. Please take care of the county lord! ”
I said "um" firmly. Give me time to take a break and I'll be fine. He jumped down from his horse, summoned a soldier, handed him the reins, and turned to me, "If the lord is unwell, take a walk around this house to relieve your mood!" ”
I listened to Lin Tao very much, and did not go back to the room, but walked in the small garden. When I got to the edge of a small pond, I crouched down
