Text Chapter 2 One hundred and seventy-six peach blossoms suddenly appeared
Zeyu God of War Mo Lingyu was defeated, the defeat was very miserable, more than 300,000 troops entered the city but less than a thousand people came out alive, the others died, or burned to death, or smoked to death, in short, in one day there were no lives, more casualties than the battlefield fighting.
The news came back to Zeyu, Zeyu was wailing up and down, Mo Lingyu took more than 400,000 people to go on the expedition, why did it disappear overnight, so that the monarch and the people were unacceptable for a while, and people pointed the finger of blame at Mo Lingyu. Aren't you the god of war, how can you not be able to defeat Cao Hou Ye, didn't you always fight Cao Hou Ye at the beginning, Mo Yun couldn't raise his head, if it was the ghost king who fought against you, it would be reasonable, but you were so defeated under Cao Hou Ye, no matter how you think about it, it is not that the enemy is strong and cunning, but that you Mo Lingyu is arrogant and reckless, and the command is wrong.
Therefore, General Mo, who returned to Zeyu and wanted to lead the troops back to Yicheng again, not only failed to do so, but was also directly imprisoned by Zeyu Guojun, and the Mo family was even more copied, and the scenery was infinite, and even Zeyu Guojun had to endure letting the Mo family, which was three points behind, fall down overnight and become the target of everyone.
Is the Mo Yunjun happy to have won such a victory? No, the city burned for three days and three nights, and a city was scrapped like this, and the homes of hundreds of thousands of people were reduced to ashes overnight. Although there were no casualties among the people, and the losses of the Moyun Army were not large, a city was gone, and this was not the scene that everyone wanted to see. Similarly, the death of 300,000 Zeyu Army, after all, it is also more than 300,000 lives, which is really unpleasant.
Kecheng, Marquis Cao sat in the military tent, looking at the commendation order under Qianzong and frowned, although he won the battle, but he couldn't lift his spirits, although the commendation order came quickly, but it made people feel disrespectful. Looking at the group of generals sitting at the head, there is also a particularly prominent figure, who is actually the head of the Heavenly Pivot Dao.
Lao Dao looked at everyone's expressions, coughed and said: "This time, Lao Dao deliberately wants to run this trip, and he also got the instructions of the ghost king, the ghost king asked me to see what you look like, if you are too happy, you will scold a few words of inhumanity, if the morale is not high, I will scold you for a few words of woman's kindness, but this Taoist never speaks ill of you, and the meaning is good, and this will be saved." ”
Hu Lewen said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the Taoist chief was entrusted by the ghost king, does the ghost king have other instructions?" ”
Lao Dao nodded and said: "Naturally, there is, the ghost king said that the idea of burning the city was her, and she felt uncomfortable after so many people died, she asked me to cremate the bodies of these people, and take the ashes to Zeyu to find a place with good feng shui to bury them, and then do a ritual to overtake their souls, so that they can be reincarnated as soon as possible." Zeyu and Moyun are at war between the two countries, only because of state affairs, and there is no personal enmity, no matter how you live or die on the battlefield, but when you die, you will be buried in the ground and do your moral. ”
The ancients were superstitious, especially fearful of ghosts and gods, the number of deaths in this battle was too much, too tragic, it was really against the peace of heaven, although the two countries were at war, but people still had some guilt in their hearts, Yun Yuhong knew it, so he specially wrote a letter to let people bring it back to the capital, so the old way came on purpose.
Although Yun Yuhong doesn't think that Tianshu Lao Dao really has any ability, his famous name is very admired and convinced by people all over the world, and having him out of the horse will definitely make people feel at ease. And Yun Yuhong's move was really right, after listening to the words of the old Tao, everyone's spirits were lifted, Wang Wu immediately said: "This is a great thing, Dao Chief, your skills are profound, those Zeyu soldiers who died in vain have you to exceed, and they will definitely be able to reincarnate a good family." You say, what should I do about this, I, Wang Wu, will help you! ”
Lao Dao smiled: "Okay, I'm relieved to have General Wang Wu's words, I don't know what Cao Hou thinks?" ”
Hou Ye Cao smiled: "This is very good, this excess matter will be arranged by the Taoist chief." ”
Lao Dao nodded and said: "There is another thing Cao Hou is also going to prepare, Zhang Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry will bring people in two days, the ghost king said, this city is burned and it is a last resort, if the city is not burned, once the Zeyu army rushes into the territory of Moyun, it will be a great disaster, and I don't know how many people will die." But if we burn it, we can build it again, build it better, and build it stronger. Therefore, he asked Zhang Shangshu to come over and plan, as long as Cao Houye took Zeyubian Chengjing City, he could ensure that the city would no longer suffer from war, and the reconstruction of the city could be started. ”
Cao Houye stood up after hearing this, and laughed: "Okay, okay, since the ghost king has been arranged to this part, if I can't take Jingcheng, old man, I am sorry for the attention of the ghost king, and I am sorry for the expectations of the people in the city. ”
Yun Yuhong was halfway when she heard the news that the city was burned and ruins, she was worried that Cao Hou Ye would not be able to fight Mo Lingyu, so she made a special trip to travel thousands of miles, and because she was worried about Ruifeng's situation, she had to return as soon as possible. For fear that the army would be unstable, she came out secretly this time, so once she went back late, she was afraid that someone would find out.
Running back and forth, no matter how fast Yunyuhong's feet are, it will take more than ten days, and these ten days, Bai Ziyu has worked very hard, at the beginning, he stopped people out of the door on the grounds that the ghost king was unwell and wanted to rest for a few days, but after a long time, the generals became suspicious, especially two days ago, Ruifeng's general Zhou Bin took 400,000 troops under Guicheng, and everyone wanted to see the ghost king's heart even more eager.
I don't know when, the ghost king was seriously injured and didn't wake up, the ghost king felt that it was so deep in Ruifeng and there was no chance of replenishing the army, and the rumor that he had escaped first spread in the army, Bai Ziyu pulled the prince and the prince to walk around in front of the army, signaling to everyone, he and the prince are here, and the ghost king will not abandon them if he wants to escape, so the news of the ghost king's escape is self-defeating, but the news that the ghost king is critically ill has spread even more.
And on this day, the guard at the door came to report to Bai Ziyu, and a girl said that he came to see King Yu after that, Bai Ziyu was very surprised, so he took someone to meet him in the hall.
The girl who came in was less than twenty years old, she looked bright and moving, very beautiful, and when she arrived in the hall, she bowed to everyone and introduced herself: "Bai Xiangye, I am the queen of Yu, Duanmu Mingya, I came today to talk to the ghost king about a deal." ”
Bai Ziyu raised his eyebrows and asked, "I don't know what the deal is, you say it's coming and listening." ”
Duanmu Mingya said: "Xiangye, I'm here to talk to the ghost king, and the prime minister is afraid that it is not easy to make the decision." ”
"It's just that it's not good to be the master, it's not that you can't be the master, which means that you don't necessarily have to bother the ghost king to come to see you in person." Bai Ziyu was a little unhappy in his heart, Hong'er was not there, and he hated it very much now that someone said that he wanted to see Hong'er.
Duanmu Mingya didn't expect Bai Ziyu to be so angry, she glanced at Bai Ziyu in surprise, thought for a while, and said: "Xiangye may not know that this Guicheng was transformed by my father and uncle, and it can be said to be very strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but few people know that my father wanted to use this city as a stronghold for raising troops, how could he only defend and not attack, so there is a wonderful idea of my father in this city, and a formation is arranged, which can be attacked and defended, which is very exquisite." ”
This is a new statement, and everyone else is interested, and the eldest prince shouted: "Formation, it's another formation, you come and listen, this formation is still there, and how to use it." ”
The little prince said: "Big brother, you think too beautifully, this... Miss Duanmu is going to use this formation to talk about business, how can she tell you so easily. Despite saying this, the prince still looked at Duanmu Mingya with great interest.
Duanmu Mingya looked at Bai Ziyu, Bai Ziyu thought for a while and said, "This deal can be done, you can tell me, what do you want to get!" ”
Duanmu Mingya looked at Bai Ziyu and said with a red face: "Actually, I had a relationship with Bai Xiangye in the early years, maybe Bai Xiangye doesn't remember it." At that time, my father was dead, and I fled with my mother to the territory of Moyun, and that day I was bullied by a bully, and it was Xiangye who passed by and relieved me. ”
Bai Ziyu was stunned for a moment, thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was such a thing, but it had been a long time, and she didn't take it to heart at the time, she really didn't remember clearly, was she the one who helped at that time?
The little prince's heart is full of alarm bells, the eldest sister has only been gone for a few days, and such a big rotten peach blossom has come to the door, no, as the royal sister's favorite prince, he can't ignore things, he must help the imperial sister watch her brother-in-law.
"I understand, you feel that you owe my brother-in-law a great kindness, and you don't feel comfortable if you don't pay it back, so you took advantage of your brother-in-law's arrival in Guicheng and specially wanted to offer this formation to repay the kindness, right, although the great favor is not grateful, but in order to make your heart comfortable, we are also interested in this formation, so we reluctantly accepted it." The prince interjected.
The people in the house almost laughed out loud, this prince is also a ghost, and he can't say the words of Duanmu Mingya, and he looks so angry that the girl's face is red and white, it's really pitiful. But fortunately, the ghost king is not here, otherwise it would be really lively.
The hall was quiet for a while, Duanmu Mingya came to her senses, and said with a dry smile: "The prince is really good at joking." After settling down, he continued: "I want to repay Xiangye's kindness, but I don't report it with a formation map, this array is very precious, and it is related to the life of my family and the rest of my life, so... So, I still want to talk to the ghost king about it. ”
Jiang Houye pulled Bai Ziyu and said to Duanmu Mingya: "Since you must talk to the ghost king, then wait for two days, the ghost king is not well in recuperation, it will take two days, I am afraid that the city is not peaceful, you might as well stay first." ”
Jiang Houye is interested in the formation map in Duanmu Mingya's hand, and now the situation is grim, and the war is about to break out, and if he can get a formation map, how many casualties can be reduced, so he wants to stabilize Duanmu Mingya and slowly figure it out.
