Main Chapter Seventy-Three: The Expedition
In the brightly lit Chengde Palace, Shangguan Qing and Shangguan Chen sat opposite each other. Shangguan Chen poured a glass of wine for the villain opposite and said, "You were reckless today." ”
Shangguan Qing smiled: "Brother, this is a long time to go, you are unable to move, and you don't need to balance in the court?" I think I'm the most suitable person, and I guess Shangguan Shu and my father think the same way. ”
Shangguan Chen's hands clenched a little, quite powerless
"Even so, it could not be you."
"There is a great chaos in the east, there are rumors circulating in the harem and even the court in the city, I think my brother knows better than me, what does this mean, who is this ghost... Presumably my brother has also made up his mind. I don't care what they think first, but the spearhead is directed at the two of us, if you really send someone else, dare to ask my brother if he can really rest assured? ”
When Shangguan Chen heard this, he had nothing to say, even if he wanted to go, Shangguan Zeming's temperament was naturally not very reassuring, if Shangguan Shu added oil and vinegar to say a few words, Shangguan Qing was indeed dangerous to stay alone in Chengde Palace, and the court would inevitably be in chaos, if he was not there, even if he came back safely, I was afraid that he would become the target of public criticism!
Shangguan Qing was speechless, just looked at Shangguan Chen fixedly, she knew in her heart that he would naturally make a decision.
Two quarters of an hour later, Shangguan Chen pinched the bridge of his nose a little tiredly, and looked at Shangguan Qingdao with some distress: "You must protect yourself well all the way, put your own life first in everything, the weather is cold in the east, bring a few more thick clothes, and the people from Chengde Palace should also bring some, take care of your daily life, and write a letter back every three days, I want to know whether you are safe or not." And..."
Shangguan Chen was about to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by Shangguan Qing with a smile: "Okay, I know everything, why did I suddenly have a mother-in-law and mother-in-law, and I also brought people with me, I didn't go to the mountains and rivers, in the army, it was inevitable to be laughed at, you don't hate these things the most on weekdays, why did you relax when you got to your own sister?" Don't worry, I'll make sure my son comes back safely, and not a single hair will fall out! ”
Shangguan Qing said briskly, which more or less dispelled some of Shangguan Chen's worries. The two talked for two more hours, and Shangguan Qing washed and rested.
On the second day, there was a sound in the Chengde Palace, Shangguan Qing rubbed his eyes, opened the window and looked, it turned out that his brother got up early and was directing the loading of things in the yard, several strong and fat horses, hung full of packages, Shangguan Qing looked at the busy figure, and felt warm in his heart, no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead was, it was worth it.
It's really worth it, maybe Shangguan Qing didn't find out, after meeting Shangguan Chen, the heavy resentment that she pressed between her eyebrows, and the calculating meaning that flashed in her bright eyes disappeared completely.
At that time, Shangguan Qing was properly dressed in Chengde Palace, dressed in a black suit, with high hair and meticulous, and his originally delicate and agile facial features had a hint of slaughter, looking really like a child general!
In front of the main city gate of the South Kite, the people lived on both sides, Shangguan Zeming personally poured a bowl of wine for Shangguan Qing, Shangguan Qing respectfully brought it over, drank it all in one go, and then "bang", the porcelain bowl fell to the ground, and the people shouted to see them off. Shangguan Qing saluted to Shangguan Zeming and the others, and then turned around neatly and stepped lightly on the stirrup, like a vigorous Feiyan, jumping on the horse. And he led the people out of the gates.
Shangguan Zeming looked at the slender figure on horseback, sighed in his heart, and said to Shangguan Chen
"That's right
Qing'er is only eleven years old this year, and if she can be so bold, she is worthy of being my Shangguan Zeming's daughter! ”
These words were full of admiration, but when I heard it, Tianchen chuckled in my heart. As a parent, it is naturally gratifying to see his children like this, but unfortunately he is not only the parents of Shangguan Qing, but also the parents of the world. He will definitely not let anyone become the only one!
After Shangguan Qing led everyone out of the city gate, he first went in the direction of Peiling, according to Shangguan Zeming's arrangement, the soldiers and horses of the three realms first converged in Anshuiling, which was close to the eastern border, and Shangguan Qing took Shangguan Zeming's holy decree to mobilize the Yuan'an army. Then they both met in the east.
Although this road was full of food and sleep, it was safe, and Shangguan Qing and his party arrived in the Peiling area half a month later.
What shocked Shangguan Qing's heart was that as soon as they arrived, they saw an army waiting here, dressed in armor and with sharp eyes, all holding iron spears in their hands, with strong bodies, standing like a pine! Among them, there are many young soldiers, who should have made up for it later. You must know that since the Yuan'an army came to Peiling, the state has not provided them with military salaries, food and grass, but they can still do this, which is really admirable! Shangguan Qing immediately dismounted, looking at the dense sweat on everyone's faces, obviously he had been waiting for many days.
The old general standing at the front looked at the little girl on the horse, and did not show the slightest disdain, but quickly stepped forward and said to Shangguan Qing: "Liang Hui, the leader of the Chenyuan An Army, see the supervising army!" ”
Shangguan Qing immediately stepped forward to help Liang Lao Liang Jun up, and then saluted to everyone, and then said: "Liang Lao General Ankang, now it is the time for the life and death of my Southern Kite, thank you for still being willing to die for our Southern Kite!" Since I shoulder the responsibility of supervising the army, I naturally live and die with my Southern Kite soldiers! Listen to the order! ”
Shangguan Qing stood tall and tenacious, and he did not show the slightest cowardice in the face of the 100,000 army, and his words were neither humble nor arrogant, which made General Liang look twice!
The army worshipped, Shangguan Qing took out a bright yellow scroll from his arms, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Its sky is clear, the world is full of people, and the merits are like the sea, the mountains and rivers of the Southern Kite tell it, and the leader of the Yuan'an Army, Liang Hui, is the commander-in-chief, and the sixth princess of the South Kite is ordered to Shangguan Qing to be the supervising army, and go to the east to eliminate the riots, calm the people, and restore the territory of my South Kite!" ”
"Command!"
In this way, Shangguan Qing and the Yuan'an army smoothly converged, and then went all the way to the east, and gathered with other soldiers and horses from the three realms at the Anshui Ridge on the edge of the eastern border.
Compared with the Yuan'an army, these three armies deployed from various realms are much backward in terms of momentum and behavior.
Shangguan Qing was not in a hurry, and proposed to General Liang that the three wisps of the army be incorporated into the Yuan'an army, and within a few days, it was already very different from the beginning.
After the joint discussion between General Liang and Shangguan Qing, it was decided to settle in the area of Anshuiling first, and the Qichar tribe seemed to have known about this in advance and sent heavy troops to patrol and deploy.
Shangguan Qing and Old General Liang looked at the layout diagram on the table and didn't know how to start.
"I am in the four realms of the southern kite, and the cities built are all easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they have never been breached for so many years, and now they are occupied by others, we are afraid that it is not easy to attack!"
General Liang looked at the map for half a day, stroked his beard and said to Shangguan Qing, Shangguan Qing nodded when he heard this
"That's true, so we have to think of a foolproof strategy, although we have more than 100,000 elite soldiers, but the army of Qichar is similar, plus the terrain advantage, naturally we will suffer. It is also necessary to ensure that the people of the east are not harmed by the war. It's really hard! ”
The two were silent for a while, Shangguan Qing looked at Liang Hui, and then said, "I have a plan here, I don't know if General Liang is willing to hear it?" ”
When Liang Hui heard this, he immediately said: "Just say it!" ”
Shangguan Qing pointed to the city in the east and said: "Old Liang army, please see, there are transportation links between the cities in our east, and although the Qichar army has a defense map, but after all, it is not my southern kite people, and the terrain of the south kite is still unfamiliar, my southern kite marches to fight, there have been rules since ancient times, but if the war is lost, it will inevitably destroy its grain and grass, so the military resources in each city are very small, and they will inevitably be transported from other cities, as long as our soldiers are divided into two ways, one way to lure the enemy in front, and all the way to attack it from the rear, these ties are broken, I can break them one by one and recover my southern kite city one by one! ”
Liang Hui nodded, his eyes were shining, he appreciated Shangguan Qing's idea very much, his eyes were full of admiration, what was in front of him was just a little girl, he could have such a powerful plan, if it was bigger, I was afraid that it would definitely be the material of my Southern Kite pillars, but it was a pity, it was a pity that it was a daughter's family.
Shangguan Qing naturally saw through Liang Hui's meaning, and immediately explained: "Old General Liang, don't think too much, I'm just a nominal prison army, this plan is not what I think, at most it can only be regarded as a rumor, and the rest depends on Old General Liang!" ”
"Dare to ask the prison army, who thinks?"
"The Great Prince of the Southern Kite."
Liang Hui paused, this prince of the southern kite, he knows, it is said that he was disabled and was thrown into the cold palace since he was a child, he never thought that he could still think of such a strategy, it is not simple, this southern kite is afraid that the sky will change.
Liang Hui thought about it in his heart, and now that he had a way, he also hurriedly planned
"This method is very good, but the Yuan'an army has not been to the southern kite border for decades, and I am afraid that it is not very proficient in bonds."
"This, General Liang doesn't have to worry, there are soldiers from the former eastern border in the three-way border army that has been transferred, presumably they naturally understand."
When Liang Hui heard this, he admired Shangguan Chenlai even more, looked at the map and continued: "This is acceptable, the old man can take most of the Yuan'an army to confront the Qichar army in front, as for the other way......"
Liang Hui was a little embarrassed, although the Yuan'an army was strong, and it had been training all these years to maintain its majestic posture, but there were very few generals who could command and transfer. The other three-way border armies don't seem to have sent generals over......
"General Liang just rest assured, this matter of severing the bond can be handed over to this supervising army. I have said that I will live and die with my southern kite, and although the knowledge of this princess is not as good as that of the eldest prince or the second prince, she has been more or less edified, you can rest assured! ”
Liang Hui finally compromised, and after the two discussed, they took advantage of the night to divide into two ways and act on their own.
In a study room in the Shuntian Palace in the main city of the South Kite, the lights were dim, and a sturdy man in a night robe was reporting something to the people on the main throne, and after about a quarter of an hour, the people on the main seat were silent for a while before replying
"Okay, I see, remember her... I must not make it back to South Kite City alive! ”
