Chapter Eighty-Eight: Counting is Counting
ο»Ώ
But Wei Changying did not hesitate to reject Shen Zangning's proposal: "Mo Binwei is now leading the troops under his husband, and he holds ninety percent of Wen Yanzi's cavalry in his hands - now on this eye bone, let's send someone to pick up Jing'er, what do you let Wen Yanzi think?" This is not an ordinary backhouse thing, don't make trouble! β
was reminded by her, Shen Zangning came to his senses, but said, "Isn't it good to let Wen Yanzi be suspicious of Mo Binwei?" β
"Isn't that dangerous?" Wei Changying lightly scolded her, and then said, "It's not good to do this, and now I'm working together to expel the Rong people!" If the Rong people are driven back to Beirong, it will be okay to provoke them again. Now such a demolition will only make the whole world look down on us! This is the will of the people! β
Shen Zangning sighed: "I don't know when I will be able to see that child again in the future?" β
Wei Changying was silent for a moment, and then said faintly: "There will always be a chance." β
However, the two sisters-in-law thought that they would never see their niece, but this was not the case.
The day after Shen Zangning's visit, Panzhou actually sent someone to the door first, saying that Shen Shujing had set off for the imperial capital and would arrive soon.
Wei Changying was naturally surprised, and summoned someone through the screen to ask why.
"Jing'er is pregnant?" Knowing that Shen Shujing came to Beijing in a hurry because she was pregnant, Wei Changying was taken aback, "She is pregnant...... Don't......? β
The visitor heard the anxiety in her words, and hurriedly explained: "Mrs. Shen is just unwell pregnant, because she is afraid that General Mo will be worried outside, so the king ordered someone to escort Mrs. Shen to Beijing, and ask the eighth lady of the Duanmu family to treat her for safety." It is also considering that the queen and several of your Madame Shen's relatives are here, thinking that General Mo's family has no relatives, and Mrs. Shen is pregnant for the first time, and our queen will also raise the little prince, I would like to ask you to take care of the ......."
Wei Changying frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Since the people are already on the way, then I will ask General Lu to send someone to meet them...... Is Jing'er really okay? β
It was okay for someone to say it all over again...... After sending him away, Wei Changying invited Huang to come left and right, and said to her with a blue face: "If you are not pregnant well, you can't run to Bo." This is clearly something wrong, Panzhou is not cured well, for fear that something will happen, and there is a gap with Mo Binwei, so he ventured on the road to the imperial capital for medical treatment! β
Huang also felt very suspicious, afraid that Wei Changying's anger would hurt his body too much, so he said gently: "Since the eldest lady is already on the way, they are almost there, so let's wait for the eldest lady to arrive?" β
"That's all there is to it!" Wei Changying let out a long sigh!
Shen Shujing's arrival in Yuzhu Town was slower than expected, mainly because Wen Lingzi sent all the foot soldiers to escort her. Shen Shujing's married Shi Wei had horses, but he had to wait for them to be together.
β¦β¦ It's not all because of his stinginess, but because most of the cavalry under his command is ...... Oh, ninety percent of them have been incorporated into Shen Zangfeng's command to fight Yanzhou.
If you take care of yourself, you will definitely not take out too many cavalry, this year the cavalry is a killer weapon, it will only be too much, who will give it to others?
However, who said that he proposed that "one person insults the whole country, and one person hates the world"? He used this sentence to squeeze all parties to send troops, and he didn't bleed much, how could the people who were squeezed let him go?
Besides, all parties who are still allies now know that once the Rong people retreat to the Northlands, it will be time for them to fight each other. At this time, if you can dig a pit for others in advance, no one will be left behind!
The person in command this time is Shen Zangfeng, and Mo Binwei, who is responsible for leading Wen Yanzi's troops, is also subject to Shen Zangfeng's control...... In Mo Binwei's words: "Cavalry always runs faster than foot soldiers." β
He said this because the Shen family not only dispatched 50,000 elite cavalry this time, but also 50,000 heavy-armored soldiers among the 180,000 foot soldiers - those heavy-armored soldiers were fully armored, wearing Mo knives, and all of them were equipped like iron buckets.
When a team came out to move, it gave the people nearby a sense of shaking - it is estimated how many generations of accumulation of the Shen family were smashed into it - even when the Great Wei was in its heyday, it was not a trivial matter to raise these 50,000 people!
You must know that because of these 50,000 heavily armored soldiers, among the remaining 130,000 infantry soldiers, 80,000 soldiers are nominally foot soldiers, but in fact they are dedicated to serving and helping them wear armor. It can be seen how much this army has been consumed!
If the Shen family hadn't subtly turned the Xiliang Army supported by Great Wei into their own Si soldiers, coupled with the hundreds of years of accumulation as a famous family in the world, let alone 50,000, 5,000 would not be able to raise it! Five hundred are dangerous!
Originally, this kind of heavy armor soldiers were used to deal with foreign races, and the horses of the Wei army were generally not as good as those of other races, and the number could not keep up. After all, the grassland is where good horses are produced and prolific.
And Shen Zangfeng transferred them to the Central Plains, and the purpose was unknown - to attack the city.
Heavy armor soldiers cost a lot, even higher than cavalry. They were also slow to move, and although they were infantry, it was difficult to turn around during battle. Armor needs to be worn at least an hour in advance, assisted by several lightly armed soldiers. As soon as the fighting stopped, they had to remove their armor immediately to conserve stamina...... With such a troublesome class, their only and greatest advantage is defense.
The powerful crossbow shot at the thickened and layered armor was useless equipment that could defend against cavalry charges head-on...... When attacking the city, they can't reach the range that the falling trees and rocks under the city can threaten, and the rain of arrows is simply ignored by them.
Of course, it is inconvenient for them to attack the city directly - wearing such armor, their knees are uneven, and the ladder cannot withstand it. But you can cover other classes! You can also stop the cavalry coming out of the city!
Although it is said that there is such an army when attacking Yanzhou City, it can be relieved and comfortable a lot. But after beating Yanzhou...... What about the other cities?
And Yanzhou is such a heavy land......
Wen Yanzi also wanted to fight the idea of Yanzhou City. After seeing these 50,000 heavily armored soldiers, he directly lost his thoughts, and told Mo Binwei to preserve the strength of his army......
All in all, Wen Yanzi only sent foot guards to escort him nowβhe could only send foot soldiers.
Panju directly borders Gyeonggi, and the distance between the two places is not too far. So even if the foot soldiers moved slowly, it didn't take many days for Shen Shujing to arrive.
Wei Changying personally took Duanmu Xinmiao, who was invited in advance, and waited for her at the second gate together, after taking a look, without waiting for Shen Shujing to salute, Wei Changying looked at her pale face and sharp chin after reduction, so he sank his face, ordered someone to carry a soft sedan chair, and said, "Go and rest first!" If you have anything to say, let's talk about it after resting! β
Shen Shujing had to swallow back her words, but she didn't cry when she touched the scene, but smiled awkwardly and sat in the sedan chair obediently.
When he arrived in the house, Duanmu Xinmiao knew that Wei Changying was holding back the fire in his heart, so he went up to check the pulse without saying a word.
She was a little surprised by this pulse: "Except for the musk smell, which caused some fetal instability, there is nothing else serious." β
"How did that scene come down like this?" Wei Changying has always trusted Duanmu Xinmiao's medical skills. But now listening to her understatement, I became suspicious.
Duanmu Xinmiao took it seriously again, but still shook his head: "It's really not a big deal, lie down for three or five days, and you can do it without drinking medicine!" β
The two sisters-in-law looked at Shen Shujing together.
Shen Shujing's smile was helpless and embarrassed: "This ...... It's really not a big deal, but I thought of it here to be loose and relaxed, and I deliberately pretended to be serious. Yongwangfu was worried that I would have an accident and would not be able to explain to his husband, so he persuaded me to come here to have a baby. β
"Wen Lingzi is so kind?" Wei Chang said suspiciously, "Have you smelled musk?" What's going on?! I remember the aunt who gave you a marriage, but your Aunt Huang personally trained it! Ordinary drugs with a faint smell can't hide their eyes and noses. Not to mention the musk - I recognize it all! β
At this time, Wei Changying had already sent away the idlers, so Shen Shujing's eyes turned around the room, and he told the truth: "Third aunt, don't worry, that musk is not coming for me." Speaking of which, I was also affected - Lord Wen didn't live in our house before, and you treated her very well, and recommended her brother to study in Ruiyu Hall, so Queen Qiu feels very good for you! After I got married, Queen Qiu often invited me to sit in the backyard of King Yong's mansion. This time, it was also the queen of Qiu who was attacked without knowing it, and after I was tricked, I asked the doctor to see it! β
Wei Changying didn't think that things were so simple, and shook his head and said, "Maybe the Qiu clan took advantage of you...... But in any case, you're right to run back with all you want. This kind of messy palace, it's best not to go to it in the future! I don't have to hurt you! β
Shen Shujing smiled a little slyly: "And my niece also misses Aunt Huang's craftsmanship, since there is ...... After having a body, the food in Panzhou couldn't be eaten well. Third aunt, you also know that there are no nobles over there, and the niece is a little particular, and it is inevitable that someone will eat it, and she mutters to herself! It was okay when the husband was there, he took it all, he was gone, and his niece was impatient to listen to those words...... Thinking that since he suffered a loss in the Yongwang Mansion, the Yongwang Mansion must give an explanation to his niece, right? So I suffered a little loss this time, but I was able to come back to my aunt for a while, and I didn't lose it when I thought about it! β
"You!" Wei Changying had the impression that this eldest niece was gentle and demure, and it was the first time she had seen her show such cunning, and she suspected that Yin Yun, who had been wronged after she left the cabinet, was slightly dispersed, and promised, "You can rest assured that you will raise a baby here, and leave the rest to my aunt!" β
Duanmu Xinmiao held her cheeks and said leisurely: "The eldest niece really has no conscience, just remember your aunt and aunt!" Although my aunt is not a relative, she is also recognized by your grandfather and grandmother...... You don't please me, I see that you haven't shown your body yet, what reason do you have to stay here for a long time! β
Shen Shujing's face suddenly turned red to her neck, and she was about to make amends, but Wei Changying had already slapped her with a smile: "You are bullying an honest child!" You tease Xie'er with Rouzhang, and Xie'er always pesters Rouzhang to ignore you, why don't you make trouble with Xie'er? β
Duanmu Xinmiao pouted: "I understand, your family surnamed Shen is bullying me...... I can tell you, if I don't have my share of the dishes made by Aunt Huang tonight, I will go out immediately and tell people that Jing'er has nothing to do! I can go back to Panzhou today! β
"Tell Aunt Huang to go back and make a table for you, right?" Wei Changying scolded with a smile: "What a person, you still have to worry about the juniors!" βοΌγ
