Chapter 43: The Lost East (2)

"What's going on? Wasn't Wei Zihu strictly guarded, how could he be told to escape? ”

Day and night rushed back to Dingshan City, the soldiers guarding Wei Zihu had already received military law, kneeling on the ground and bowing their heads without saying a word. I tugged at Huan Ke's sleeve and asked Dong Yan instead, "Are you sure Wei Zihu went to Rao Lu?" He confirmed, and I frowned: "According to common sense, Deng Wu gave him to General Guo, and Wei Zihu should hate Deng Wu to the core." Although he was imprisoned in Dingshan, he was always treated politely, even if he held a grudge against Wei Ye because he was killed, Wei Zihu should never run back to Rao Lu to join Deng Wu......"

Like a stone fire, like a lightning light, a thought flashed through my mind, although I felt nonsense, but I couldn't help but blurt out eagerly, the more determined it became, and the more panicked my heart became: "Mo won't ...... Did he eavesdrop on our plan and rushed to report to Deng Wufeng? ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone present suddenly froze. After a long time, Guo Chuan said slowly: "If this is the case, waiting for work will become sitting and waiting for death." It is better to choose a day than to hit the sun, and tomorrow our army will be fully equipped ......"

Noticing Huan Ke, who didn't say a word, and remembering that we just rushed back today, Guo Chuan cut off his words, obviously hesitating. Huan Ke bowed his head and continued: "Tomorrow we will raise troops to attack Raolu." The matter is urgent and cannot be delayed any longer. ”

"You're already unwell, and you're coming back from a long journey, even if you're in a hurry, you should rest for at least a few days before setting off." He looked like he couldn't move, and I was worried about blocking it, but he shook his head: "I'm fine." But if Deng Wu learned that the so-called attack on Lianghong was just a pretense, he would immediately start hoarding grain and grass. Our army arrived a day early, and Raolu's backup was one point less. Demand immediate action. ”

He was so flustered that I was anxious: "That's just my guess." We make sure that every time we discuss the military, we make sure that it is absolutely strict, and if you rush in the current state, it will only be counterproductive to saddle horse fatigue, you ......"

"Ben has made up his mind." Standing up suddenly, Huan Ke spoke in a calm tone, completely different from me: "General Guo, please give the order tomorrow and lead the army to Raolu." After a pause, he walked to Guo Chuan's side: "Please General Guo lead the way Huan Ke and go to inspect the siege equipment." ”

Turning his head to look at me, Guo Chuan turned around and left with Huan Ke. Dong Yan wanted to step forward to be relieved, but when he saw that my face was pale, he had to give up silently.

Anxious and angry walked to Huan Ke's room, the empty trace was not in the room, thinking about it and being worn by him again, I couldn't help but kick the edge of the bed with anxiety in my heart.

is not emotional, that is, incivility, so the poem must have joy and sorrow; Affection, not necessarily etiquette, so the poem should be sad and happy. I used to treat Huan Ke, because Zong Zhengxu was punished first, and he could indeed be called unreserved. And today, I don't know when, subtly, caring about the four words has become the norm for the two of them. Such a change for better and for worse...... This is as troubled as you can know.

The oppressive atmosphere of the Cold War was contagious to everyone with whom we had lunch. Zhufeng hesitated for a long time, cautiously inquiring about the situation. I kept my face silent, Huan Ke just sighed, and then shook my head.

After putting down the chopsticks and bowls, there was nothing to say, Guo Chuanfang was about to get up first, and a soldier rushed over from a distance, and was stunned when he saw this atmosphere, and quickly walked towards me: "Emperor Lingyue, there is your letter." ”

"My letter?" It is also strange because of the name and because of the letter. Before I took the letter and opened it, Guo Chuan was indifferent to the side: "The princess is the princess in the end, and she can still be cared for by her old people after changing her identity." He looked at me coldly: "If you are disconnected from the past, it is better not to behave before the army." ”

was already worried about tomorrow's expedition, Guo Chuan's words were tantamount to adding fuel to the fire. We wanted to refute, but we took into account that the soldiers were there, and I was afraid that Huan Ke would be more troubled, so I had to stop hating. Huan Ke opened his mouth and refuted for me: "General Guo's words are wrong. All the brothers here, including General Guo and Huan Ke, which one dares to say that he is completely from what he once left behind? Not to mention others, hasn't General Guo spared no effort to find Brother Ling all these years? ”

Guo Chuan showed a sad look at this, and quickly reined in and stopped talking. I opened the letter on my own, pretending not to know that Huan Ke moved closer to me. Shake the letter paper as usual to see the payment first, I couldn't help but be surprised and happy, and exhaled in a low voice.

Seeing a hint of a smile on my face, Huan Ke approached curiously, but immediately frowned: "Single? Who? ”

He deliberately made a jealous appearance, causing Zhufeng and the others to laugh secretly. I glanced at him and still didn't speak, but I unconsciously hooked the corners of my lips. Shan Guo wrote that he had a good opportunity to be promoted to the imperial guard and served by Xiao Xu's side, so he found an opportunity to learn that I was in Hu Ru, no wonder the previous letters were lost in the sea and did not get a reply. Some time ago, Zong Zhengxu went to Lianghong, and when he met with Xiao Xuan, he was surprised to see that Qu Zhong, who was with me at that time, was actually behind Zong Zhengxu. I found an opportunity to hold the end of the song, but she didn't know what my situation was, so she just said that if she had something to say, she could hand over the letter to her and she would forward it. Shan was too busy adding to this process, handing over the letters that had already been prepared to the end of the song.

I froze where I was, afraid it was just a dream. Huan Ke also read this letter, and when he saw how I looked and didn't know what I was thinking, he stroked my shoulder and whispered: "The girl at the end of the song is safe and sound, she is really auspicious." ”

"It's okay at the end of the song, she's really okay......" I repeated over and over again with a trembling voice, Huan Ke took the trouble to confirm over and over again, regardless of the environment and others, I threw myself into Huan Ke's arms and cried with joy. Comforting my clothes, Huan Ke's hand movements suddenly paused, and a slightly surprised voice sounded in my ears: "General Guo, ...... you?" ”

The soldiers who were still covering their mouths and chuckling looked ahead in disbelief. I poked my head out of Huan Ke's arms to look, but I was surprised to see Guo Chuan holding the letter paper like a treasure, and a tear flowed out of the corner of his eye.

Glancing at Huan Ke in surprise, Huan Kefu was about to ask again, but Guo Chuan stepped in front of me and held the letter tremblingly: "Princess, the person who wrote the letter to the princess...... What does it look like? ”

I was ignorant and understood, I opened my lips to speak, but Huaiyan said on the side: "The forehead is very wide, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, oh, there seems to be a scar at the corner of his eye." ”

"You remember it well." With a smile, Huan Ke looked back at Guo Chuan, and had already guessed the possibility: "Mo is not General Guo's ...... alone"

"This handwriting is from his hand, and he does have a scar on the corner of his eye, which was injured by the rogues when I was separated from him...... Just Huaiyan, how do you know? ”

"At the beginning, it was Shan Guo who escorted me to the night, and met the prince and Huaiyan on the way." Remembering the first time I saw it, I pursed my lips and whispered: "But it seems to be the year of standing alone, and the age difference between it and the general is ......."

"That's Ahsan!" With a long sigh, Guo Chuan seemed to wake up again: "Single, Guo Shan...... It's him, I've finally found him! It was difficult to hide the tenderness of the iron man between the words, Guo Chuan cried silently, and calmed down for a long time: "Twenty years ago, the world was in turmoil, Ah Shan and I were trapped in Chifeng, and the people in the city were bullied by Wang Qingzhong's father and son. Fortunately, General Dong Yan and Lord Zhao Houyou had a clever plan to break through Chifeng, Wang Qingzhong was killed, his son Wang Ren escaped, and Ah Shan and I were scattered by the chaotic crowd, and there was no ...... for 20 years."

Although the circumstances at that time are not described, Shan Guo still thanked me many times for my actions at that time. Guo Chuan naturally saw that I was gracious, and suddenly saluted me on one knee: "Thank you princess for your kindness and save Ashan's life." This kind of kindness Guo Chuan is unforgettable! Previously, Guo Chuan also made a lot of difficulties for the princess, it was Guo Chuanjing's view that the princess forgave her sins! ”

After saying that, Guo Chuan looked solemn, ready to kneel on his knees and kowtow, I hurriedly leaned over and grabbed him: "What is General Guo doing, Fu Tan was just a gesture at the beginning, and it was a single ...... It is the blessing of the people of Lingdiji, who uses his own skills to turn danger into relief. Helping Guo Chuan sit down, I smiled lightly: "Now that my brother is safe, General Guo should only be happy." There is no need to mention the past. ”

Guo Chuanqi had nothing to say, so he had to clench his fists and hang his head, Huan Ke patted him on the shoulder to chat and comfort, and turned to face the happy soldiers: "Once you hear double happiness, General Guo's brother and the princess's female companion are safe, which is really a good omen." After a pause, he raised his glass and shouted: "Our army will definitely be able to take advantage of this happy event to defeat Rao Lu Deng Wu!" Generals can be confident! ”

"Yes!" The mountains and rivers were shaken, and the army was united in unison, and there was no hesitation. I looked at Huan Ke with a slightly apologetic look, and I had to sigh shallowly.

The night was deep, but I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. Calm down and think back to the daytime, just look at the content of the letter, what Guo Chuan said in the past...... I was very happy that the song was safe at the end, but since she knew where I was in Huru, she didn't contact me, and how she followed Zong Zhengxu to Lianghong really puzzled me. Guo Chuandao and Shan Guo were separated 20 years ago, when the soldiers robbed the people and made a living - my mother also mentioned to me that her native was a pan night, and she was abducted to Lianghong because of the chaos of the soldiers, and entered the harem of Zhongshu as a dancing queen by mistake - and Wang Qingzhong was killed, and his son was also unknown in the war. But if his son Wang Ren is the Wang Ren I know, then he was originally a Hu Ru person, and he actually had the means to win the favor of Emperor Lianghong and lay a solid foundation in Zhongshu, which is really not to be underestimated. But this is the most important identity for him...... It will not be a good thing.

The next day, we will march and we will not stop except for necessary rest. Huan Ke was worried that I was tired, I was worried that he was tired, and he was worried all the way, and there was no longer the ease of returning to Sang to Xingzhou at the beginning. Guo Chuan was excited that day, and when he calmed down, he was a little embarrassed for me. I am good at being kind to Yu Shan, but Guo Qiancheng is Guo Chuan's cousin, and he loves the house and Wuxia, and he also takes great care of Qi Lianyi, so he naturally knows Qi Lianyi's feelings for Huan Ke. That's the reason for my previous targeting. Now, the two phases are embarrassed and don't know how to treat me, the original-for-tat should have turned into familiarity, but there is a little bit of avoidance of strangers.

It doesn't hurt to me, but it's born elsewhere. My previous guess was completely wrong, Wei Zihu fled back to Rao Lu not to leak secrets to Deng Wu, but to take revenge on Deng Wu. He didn't know what means he used to lure Deng Wu into being alone with him, looking for an opportunity to kill him, and subdued Deng Wu's generals, claiming to inherit the throne of his father Wei Ye. At this point, Wei Zihu no longer had any scruples, and he was eager to train frantically with revenge, and later declared himself a vassal to Lianghong and was named the general of Zhenxi. When we came to the outside of Raolu, the original rich land looked like a dead city from the outside, and we could not imagine what the city would look like.

There is a natural river outside the city of Raolu, and it is only more than 100 miles away from Raolu to cross this river. After crossing the river with a light boat to test the truth, Guo Chuan and Huan Ke led the army to cross the Zi River, and Wei Zihu led 30,000 troops to attack before the clothes were dry, but Huan Ke was defeated, and thousands of soldiers surrendered to our army. Wei Zihu fled back to Raolu and closed the city. Guo Chuan ordered to build a high wall outside the city of Raolu and dig a deep trench to besiege it, Huan Ke and I went to appease the cities around Raolu, and Wei Zihu Department Guanggu Thorn Shi Duan Ang surrendered in February.

"I have been stationed in Raolu for more than four months, and it will be difficult to support Wei Zihu soon." The early spring of this year was particularly cold, and I held my sleeve stove and watched the candle flame reflect the red light of the soldiers present: "I just didn't expect that at that time, he would be so mad that he rebelled against Hu Ru and bowed his head to Lianghong." At most, in a month, Liang Hong will send reinforcements to relieve the siege. ”
