Chapter 525 Chapter 48 An Unquiet Night
"Even if it is to fight Hanhai, 200,000 Rong people! It's not a small branch! It wasn't discovered until the imperial capital was left to the left! "In the dead of night, it is not only the master and servant of the guard who unloads the composure of the day and calls people to discuss countermeasures in a panic.
In the second room, Duanmu Yanyu excused Shen Shuyi's cough to be cold, and was afraid that it would be passed on to Shen Yushi, so she sent her husband to rest in the concubine's room, so she called her confidant and grandmother Fei Shi together, and discussed in a low voice in the tent, "The eldest uncle and third brother of the Su family are in Yanzhou!" It is said that if you go to Hanhai, you must pass through the Yanzhou realm, they didn't even send a pigeon letter, God knows here, what's weird? ”
Fei is usually silent, and he doesn't show his face much in the second room, but he has helped Duanmu Yanyu do many things that cannot be said to others in 'private', and he is one of Duanmu Yanyu's most trusted henchmen.
At this moment, after listening to Duanmu Yanyu's words, he agreed: "What the young lady said is that if the eldest master of the Su family doesn't talk about it, it is impossible for the third prince not to send a message to the family." ”
"During the day, my mother said that the imperial capital has stored grain, and there are many wells in the city, which is enough to last for a year and a half." Duanmu Yanyu frowned and whispered, "Those with high 'doors' and big households, such as our family, do have enough rice and grain in the treasury for two or three years. There are also a lot of smoked 'meat' that is not easy to spoil in the cellar and 'shade' room. But those common people, not to mention that even if they have this heart, they don't have the strength to be able to save food for two or three years, so they say that they have this money, do they have such a big house to hold? Are we really the masters who are raised in the courtyard of a deep house and don't know the suffering outside? ”
"Madame's words are to calm everyone's hearts, otherwise people's hearts will be 'chaotic'......"
Duanmu Yan sighed: "I know! I just think that this siege is not as simple as my mother said! The problem is that that's all Mother is telling us now! ”
Fei said: "The maid doesn't think that Madame is hiding anything, young lady, think about it, this incident should have happened this morning." When the lady called everyone over, she said that the lord had sent someone back not long ago. And the valve owner went out early this morning and didn't come back until dusk, so he must have been discussing this matter with everyone in the court, maybe he also opened the court? In short, the owner of the valve sent someone back to say these few words, and he must not have had time to elaborate on them. ”
"So there's more detail in the future?" Duanmu Yan said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid that things will not be good, and when the time comes, we will be the ...... of the 'women'."
The corners of Fei's eyes jumped, and he hurriedly said: "What you said!" Not to mention, our family still has 20,000 Xiliang troops stationed in Gyeonggi! Those are all 'elite' sharps who have been fighting with Hu people for many years! Now the general there is said to be a very 'shrewd' person, otherwise he would not have been sent there by the lord. I'm afraid that this will lead his subordinates to flee far away to avoid the edge of the Rong people, and send a letter to Xiliang! Perhaps, this is an opportunity for our Xiliang Army to enter the Central Plains in a big way! Our Xiliang Army is the most courageous, what is there to be afraid of in our family? ”
At the mention of Xiliang, Duanmu Yanyu's brows furrowed even tighter, and she sighed: "I regretted that Yan'er couldn't come back with the Wei family before, but I didn't want to encounter such a disaster now." Thankfully, she's not here, but there's one less person I have to '' about. ”
"Miss Sisun Jiren has her own natural appearance......" Fei Shi quickly stopped when he said this, and secretly scolded himself for being old and confused - doesn't this mean that the imperial capital is not good, so Shen Shuyan is not in the imperial capital, blessed by heaven? She hurriedly diverted the topic and said, "All in all, the young lady is careful, but there is no need to worry. Even if you want to give up your 'female' dependents one day, you must be a 'servant' concubine, but you are the young lady of the Shen family who came into the 'door' seriously, how can you ignore you? ”
Duanmu Yanyu didn't pay attention to her previous missteps, and said gloomily: "What about the serious young lady?" In the chaos of war and horses, it is difficult to say why the noble people will be safe and sound. The emperor must be as safe and sound as Madame said, once ...... That's hard to say. I am a 'woman' Taoist family, Rou'er and Yue'er are delicate and weak 'girl' children, Yi'er is still often tired of being hugged by people! This group of 'female' streamers, small and weak, alas! ”
Fei comforted: "How can it really be like that? You can see that Madame didn't leave the two grandsons in the third room today. Those two grandsons are the blood and blood of the lady, especially the fourth grandson looks like the lady, the lady spoils him the most, but it hurts more than the second grandson who has been raised under the knees of the lady for three years! And the second grandson is the owner of the valve who has to 'take time' to teach in person during his busy schedule. If there is really anything wrong with it, no one cares, the lord or the lady, can you still send secret guards to try to protect these two little sons out of the city to find the third son? ”
This is true, now the Shen family only has five male grandchildren, and each of them is very precious. Especially the two children in the third room are Shen Zangfeng's sons-in-law, and the son's status is even more different than that of his cousins because of his father's nobility. Shen Xuanfu's 'woman' is also obviously more concerned about them. If the situation of the Rong people besieging the city is really bad, Shen Xuanfu's 'wife' will definitely not let her young grandson fall into the hands of the enemy.
Duanmu Yanyu narrowed her eyes and whispered: "Look at the third room in the future, if the two children over there have any abnormal movements or have not seen their faces for many days, report it quickly!" ”
Because the second room thought that Shen Yongshi was not a descendant, and Shen Shuyi was not as valued as Shen Shuguang and Shen Shuxie, he secretly decided to take the two children in the third room as a sign.
Dafang happened to be sent to Xiliang by his grandfather because of his only son, Shen Shuming, even if the husband and wife and Shen Shujing met with accidents, the bloodline could stay. In addition, when Liu and Shen Zangli were alone in private, there was always an estrangement and politeness because of Xin Yi, but it was calm and quiet at the moment.
Liu Shi pillowed on his 'jade' pillow, closed his eyes, and said lightly: "Before, my mother said that I would go to Xiliang, but I actually wronged Guang'er and Xie'er, but I actually half-believed it. Especially after the new monarch ascended the throne, my father never asked Ming'er to come back, and I missed and worried about it in my heart. Unexpectedly, I really let my mother say it, this time Ming'er Ruo is also in the imperial capital......"
Shen Zangli couldn't help but interrupt: "Things are not as bad as you think, today a father sent me to the city to see." The Rong people claim to be 200,000, but if you look at the four city walls, the number of people who enter the sight is only in the early 100,000s, although the dust is flying in the distance, whether it is an army, or send people to tie branches behind the horse as a suspicious array, it is difficult to say. No matter how strong the Imperial Forest Army is, with the high and deep moats of the imperial capital, and the Rong people are not good at attacking the city, they can always defend it. Besides, there is also the division of King Qin. ”
"Now that there are civil uprisings in various places, it is too late to count on the court helpers to pacify, where is there any Qinwang teacher?" Liu was born in a family of military generals, and has been exposed to it since childhood, but he knows a lot more about military affairs than ordinary 'women', and at this moment she said coldly, "At most, I hope that Xuanjiawei has not yet fought with the homeless people in Huoxian County to the point of being unable to open 'communication', and can get out in time to save him!" Yanzhou knew that the imperial capital was besieged, and the eldest uncle and third brother would definitely not sit idly by, but the troops in their hands were barely enough to defend Yanzhou, and it may not be feasible to go out of the city to save them. Not to mention that how can the Rong people not leave people to stare at them? Didn't it be said before that the third prince of the Rong people raised an army of 300,000 to fight Donghu, and now there are only 200,000 at most under the imperial capital? Who knows if the Rong people came so suddenly this time, did they increase their troops? ”
Shen Zangli frowned and said, "And the Liu family, did you miss it?" This time, the Rong people basically came over from the Hanhai Gobi, and only wiped a corner from Donghu. Although the Liu family did not act as a barrier this time, the troops were not damaged......"
"I'm afraid that the Rong people are not only besieging the imperial capital, but also wanting to besiege and send reinforcements!" Liu has a knot in his heart, except for the reputation of virtue in front of people, and he doesn't like to agree with his opinions when he gets along in private. So this will immediately retort, "And the Rong people are not stupid!" Will they not take into account the Donghu Army and the Imperial Forest Army? If you dare to sneak into Dawei like this, you must have something to rely on! It's not that I will destroy the prestige of my mother's family, but I am afraid that they will fall into the trap of the Rong people in a hurry to rescue! ”
Shen Zangli wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he sighed and only said, "Sleep." Do you have more news about Ming'er? Now it's just the first day. ”
…… In fact, this time the Rong people arrived in the imperial capital of the Great Wei Dynasty without warning, and the most suspicious one was the Donghu Liu family.
Although the Hanhai Gobi is inaccessible, everyone knows that you can go straight to Yanzhou and Emperor Changqi from here, and it is impossible for the Liu family not to send people to prevent the Rong people from secretly attacking here.
If this is a Rong people, it can be said that the Gobi is so big, and there are not enough spies to always miss the past.
But 200,000 Rong people, even if it is 100,000, unless the Liu family is dead.
The Liu family is not without reason to do this, Weiyuan Marquis and Taiwei are not in harmony, the two brothers have been fighting to the death for many years, and now Taiwei's vein is basically in the imperial capital, this is one of them; The Great Wei Kingdom Zuo declined, even if Yanzhou was recaptured, Donghu's grain and grass were temporarily worry-free, but before that, because of the 'chaos' in Xinzhou, the Liu family was defeated, and in that battle, the children of the Liu family and the 'elite' soldiers suffered great casualties, and their vitality was lost.
There is also a third: at present, in addition to the Liu family and the Wei family, almost all the outstanding children of the clan and clan are in the imperial capital......
The Liu family has enough reasons and conditions to do so.
Although it is said that the risk is very high, once the incident fails, or once the other five valves recover, they will inevitably retaliate. But if you achieve immortal deeds, such a risk cannot be said to be unworthy...... Of course, now that the emperor is surrounded by clouds and mountains, the monarchs and ministers are at a loss, and it is difficult to say what the inside story is at this moment.
Shen Zangli was ashamed of his wife again, and he would never say this suspicion in front of her.
But there is no one surnamed Liu in Jintong Courtyard, and Wei Changying's master and servant do not have this taboo. Wei Changying bluntly raised suspicions to the Huang family about the Donghu Liu family: "Even if 200,000 flies fly from Beirong to the imperial capital, how can someone from the Liu family take a photo, right?" How come there is no movement at all? Eight out of ten. Nine is deliberate. ”
Huang felt that there might be other reasons: "But our son is in Yanzhou, and there is no news." ”
Didn't Shen Zangfeng send a police message?
"I think I was tripped by the Rong people." Wei Changying said in a deep voice, "Fortunately, Yanzhou has always been guarding against the sneak attack of the Rong people or the seizure of the city by the displaced people, since our imperial capital can still defend it if its defense is lax, even if it is surrounded by others, it doesn't matter if you want to come there." It's not just her opinion, it's her prayer.
Huang Shen 'groaned' and said, "I don't know what happened to the 20,000 Xiliang troops outside the city?" ”
"The Xiliang army is used to fighting with the Di people, and the Rong people are said to be not much different from the Di people." Wei Changying sighed, "But even if these 20,000 people have completely escaped the poisonous hands of the Rong people, there are too few people in the end." Nowadays, it doesn't come in very well. What's more, there are so many Rong people in the middle, even if there are orders, it is difficult to pass them on. ”
Just like Shen Zangli said, this is only the first day, although everyone is thinking hard about it, but they are talking about it, and in the end, it is still the same sentence - "Ming'er will inquire again to see what the situation is?" ”
