Chapter 59: Grain and Grass Crisis
Chapter 59: Grain and Grass Crisis
Xia Aya was outside the Qianxiang Palace and handed a small golden gourd to Yin Derong: "Yin Chongyuan, the concubine said that as long as you smell a little bit of the things in it, it will be effective immediately." ”
Yin Derong took the little gourd and stuffed it into his sleeve: "This palace knows, please thank the concubine Niangniang for the trouble of Miss Xia Aya on behalf of the palace." ”
"Yes, the slave and maid retired first." Xia Aya saluted and went back to her life.
When Yin Derong hurried to the Hebi Palace, she didn't see Yang Hanyue, she hurriedly asked Yun Yao next to her: "Where is your mother." ”
Yun Yao stepped forward and replied: "Chongyuan Niangniang, Zhaoyuan Niangniang has been unwell recently, so Ziqing accompanied Zhaoyuan Niangniang to enjoy the flowers in the back garden." ”
Yun Yao took Yin Derong to the back garden of Hebi Palace and bowed and retreated, and Yang Hanyue, the pavilion in the back garden, accompanied by Cheng Ziqing and Qian Yan, leaned lightly on the railing, her eyes were a little more indifferent and confused.
Yin Derong slowly approached Yang Hanyue: "Hanyue, I heard that you are unwell, are you okay?" ”
Yang Hanyue smiled at Yin Derong: "Sister Yin, I'm fine, I'm just a little tired." ”
Yang Hanyue suddenly retched, Cheng Ziqing immediately patted her on the back, Yin Derong suddenly thought of something, and also patted her on the back: "Hanyue, what's wrong with you, how long have you been like this." ”
Cheng Ziqing hurriedly replied: "Zhaoyuan's health has not been good in the past few days, but she is holding on like this. ”
Yin Derong held Yang Hanyue's hand: "Hanyue, why is your temperament still like this, you take care of everything by yourself." ”
"Sister Yin, I'm really fine." Yang Hanyue smiled and shook her head.
"Han Yue, I remember that we haven't played together for a long time, let's have a game!" Yin Derong looked at Yang Hanyue with a slight smile.
"Okay, Han Yue hasn't fought with Sister Yin for a long time." The two got up and left the garden and entered the inner sanctum.
Yin Derong and Yang Hanyue fought for several games in a row, but they never decided the winner.
"Hanyue, it's getting late, I'll go first." Yin Derong got up and walked slowly.
"Mother, the slave will help you to rest and rest!" Xinyan stepped forward and saluted Yang Hanyue.
"It's okay, it's a lot of trouble to play a few games of chess." Yang Hanyue got up and walked into the inner hall.
When Xinyan made the bed for Yang Hanyue, she quietly put the little golden gourd under her pillow, she fell asleep, and Cheng Ziqing saluted and led everyone to retreat.
The incense in the gourd slowly took effect, and Yang Hanyue also fell into a dream under its effect.
Yang Hanyue walked to the edge of Taiye Pond in a dream, the closer she got, the more she could hear bursts of laughter, and when she got closer, she saw a group of palace maids holding some toys playing with a little girl, as for what she said, she was like an outsider in that dream and couldn't hear the slightest sound.
Yang Hanyue woke up suddenly, and broke out in a cold sweat, and the palace maids outside heard the movement and entered the hall one after another: "Niangniang, are you okay?" She came to her senses and looked at Cheng Ziqing: "It's okay, dress up for me!" ”
Yang Hanyue couldn't figure out what had happened to her in the past few days, she often dreamed of the same scene in her sleep, and when she entered the dream, the little girl seemed to appear in a circular dream, she had to figure out what was going on, in the dream, she went to the Taiye Pool and went to the Yangzhou Palace Jinyang Palace, and there was nothing abnormal about the Jinyang Palace, and there was nothing abnormal about the Jinyang Palace, and the rest was only the Taiye Pool.
Yang Hanyue walked very anxiously, and didn't notice that Wei Guifei in front of her walked over and bumped into her directly, Yang Hanyue hurriedly saluted: "See Guifei Niangniang." ”
"Yang Zhaoyuan, where are you going to go so urgently, this is the bracelet sent by Brother Bengong, I originally wanted to give you and Yin Ji one person, but I met it, so let's give it to you first!"
"Xie Guifei Niangniang." Yang Hanyue took the things in her hands, her mind was not here, she wanted to solve the mystery in her heart quickly.
"The concubine still has something to do, so she retired first."
Wei Guifei smiled slightly, Yang Hanyue slowly walked away, and turned her head to look at Xia Aya: "Are you ready?" Bengong is going to give her a trick and kill two birds with one stone. ”
Xia Aya stepped forward and saluted and whispered a few words in Wei Guifei's ear, Wei Guifei nodded with satisfaction, turned around and left.
When Yang Hanyue passed by the Royal Garden to go to the Taiye Pool, she actually heard the meow of a cat, she followed the cry to find a small flower cat in the flower bush and ran out, Yang Hanyue hugged it: "Ziqing, this little flower cat is so cute." ”
A fragrance suddenly came, stroking the smooth cat hair and finding the small gourd hanging on the kitten, opening it and sniffing it gently, Yang Hanyue's abdomen tingled, and her face turned pale: "Hanyue, are you okay?" ”
Yang Hanyue reluctantly got up and smiled slightly: "I'm fine, I still have to go to Taiye Pond to have a look." She insisted on taking a few steps forward, but she couldn't hold it anymore, closed her eyes, and passed out on the ground.
Cheng Ziqing hurriedly looked for help everywhere, but everyone was afraid of offending the behind-the-scenes promoters and avoided it, Cheng Ziqing became more and more anxious and ran into Yue Jing.
When Cheng Ziqing got up to apologize, he saw that this person was Yue Jing, and hurriedly grabbed his hand: "Yue Jing, where is the county horse." ”
Yuwen Chengji heard that this matter was there, and when he saw Yang Hanyue, who was pale and unconscious, Yuwen Chengji couldn't help but pick her up, turned around and walked quickly towards Hebi Palace: "Hanyue, you must not have anything to do, otherwise I will not forgive myself, I already owe you a lot." ”
Seeing Yuwen Chengji hurriedly hugging Yang Hanyue and Cheng Ziqing's nervous expression, everyone in the Hebi Palace ran in to clean up the bed, gently put her on the bed and shouted: "Pass the imperial doctor." ”
Yuwen Seungji slowly took his hand back, and everyone was surprised to find that his hands were stained with blood, and after washing his hands, he went out.
In the blink of an eye, Li Shimin also led his soldiers to guard the city for many days, but he never confronted the enemy head-on.
"Your Majesty, the enemy army is again provoking under our army's city." The soldier ran in in a panic to report, and Li Shimin calmly waved his hand to let him go down.
Wei Chigong's fiery temper couldn't be controlled again, and he stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to go out of the city to teach a lesson to the enemy generals who don't know what to do." ”
"No, now that our army is short of food and grass and demoralized, you are willing to go to the city tower with me to have a look." The generals didn't know what Li Shimin's idea was, and now that the war was critical, he was still in the mood to go up to the city tower to see the scenery, so everyone followed.
The generals followed Li Shimin to the city tower, and the enemy troops below the city tower saw Li Shimin and scolded: "Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, you have changed from the first god of war in the Tang Dynasty who is brave and good at fighting, to a turtle with a shrunken head, don't be singing every night, you don't have the ambition of the day!" After the enemy general finished speaking, all the soldiers under the castle tower laughed.
Li Ji took the initiative to step forward and ask: "Your Majesty, such an arrogant person, wait for Weichen to go and destroy him." ”
"Although the troops they put in are small, but they are all burly and must have been professionally trained, and they can kill the enemy with one when ten and lose eight hundred, and it is not feasible to pass the order, and if they go out of the city without permission, they will be dealt with according to military law."
Li Shimin was calm and composed, and he thought about it: "It is really beautiful for me to sing and dance in the Song and Dance of Hu Feng and the dance and music of the border countries, and I also want to invite your brothers to appreciate and appreciate the song and dance of our Dynasty." ”
A group of musicians and dancers climbed the tower and plucked the huqin to play the melodious music of Tuyuhun folk songs, and the Tuyuhun soldiers under the city began to exchange heads, and some soldiers even put down their weapons and took a few steps back.
When the general Tuyuhun saw the soldiers who kept retreating, he pulled out the scimitar on his waist and pointed ahead: "Charge me, if you take a step back, you will not be killed." ”
The enemy adjusted their formation, shot tens of thousands of arrows at the city tower, and quickly took out their shields to block them.
Suddenly, the soldier came urgently to report: "Your Majesty, our army's reserve grain and grass have been robbed." ”
Li Shimin's face became dark, and he shouted sharply: "Who is in charge of grain and grass logistics?" ”
Calming his emotions, he waved his pen and wrote a battle letter, inserted it in the arrow, and shot it at the enemy general.
The general took the letter down from the arrow and looked at it: "Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, there are few defeats in marching battles, and this commander is going to let his generation of war gods fall in Minshan." ”
"Send troops and send people to guard the various grain passages." The enemy troops below the castle have withdrawn.
** Withdrew to the city one after another, and the generals looked at Li Shimin, who was gloomy on the throne, and did not dare to speak, and after a long time, Li Shimin spoke up: "Generals, what is the best way to get out of the predicament." ”
"Your Majesty, it is imperative to find a way to solve the grain and grass crisis."
Li Ji stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the war exemption card should be hung high, and the flying pigeon will pass the book and wait for the grain and grass of the military department." ”
"Far water can't quench the thirst of the near at all, but I think I can solve the food and grass crisis through the battle."
Li Shimin thought for a while and looked at them: "Wei Chi Jingde, I ordered you to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to attack the enemy's left flank army, and Li Junxian ordered you to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to attack the enemy's right flank army." ”
The two stepped forward to take the order and saluted one after another.
Li Shimin sat on the main seat and watched the hourglass of timekeeping, waiting for the best time he said.
Li Junxian and Wei Chigong both failed and returned home, and saluted Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, Weichen has insulted the mission. ”
Li Shimin suddenly opened his eyes: "General Li Ji, I ordered you to attack the enemy's main camp and capture the enemy prince alive." ”
Soon, Li Ji brought Prince Haya's five-flower bundle to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin turned his gaze to Cheng Zhijie again: "General Cheng, please go to the enemy military camp in person and tell the enemy commander that if they want their king to live, they will exchange my ** spy head with our army's food and grass, otherwise I will sacrifice the blood of their prince to the military flag." ”
"Yes, Wechen understands." Cheng Zhijie stepped forward to take the letter, saluted and went out.
Li Junxian stepped forward and saluted and asked, "Your Majesty, how can you be sure that the commander of the enemy army will agree." ”
Li Shimin snorted lightly and explained: "When the two armies are captured against the prince, the army's heart will definitely be shaken, and he has no choice in order to calm the army's heart." ”
