182. The soldiers are fast and never tired of deceit
The person who was still serious just now, but now he is cute and coquettish to me again: "Daughter-in-law, your decision is too tormenting for me, and what should I do now?" I scolded him angrily: "Cold salad!" Solve it yourself. ”
"Don't!" As he spoke, he rubbed against me, and deliberately let the hard place push against me.
This man was the one who could open a dyeing shop for a piece of cloth, and he must not be indulged, so he pushed him away and sat up to tidy up his clothes, but fortunately he was dressed in the robe of a men's guard, and he did not tear it off. After a moment's tidying up, I saw that he was still leaning back and looking at me with resentful eyes, but somewhere in the afterglow slowly subsided.
Extremely embarrassed, men are really lower-body animals, and they can be impulsive regardless of the occasion and place.
In addition to me, Yan Qi and Lu He are also in Ah Ping's personal guards, which can be regarded as bringing "half the sky" in my Orchid Garden. The other is Uncle Mu, and when he says goodbye, he is not a widower in Ginkgo Village, but an awe-inspiring brocade guard, and even the clothes on his body have been changed to satin green cloth. My uniform color is similar, and I think I've been temporarily assigned to the brocade guard. Uncle Mu still didn't talk much, and the few people around him all looked gloomy and cold, they should all be Jinyi Guards, and their martial arts were strong.
I wanted to go out of the carriage to avoid suspicion, but Ah Ping didn't agree, saying that I just got out of confinement, not to mention that I couldn't afford to walk, and I couldn't even ride a horse, and I would be so tired that I would be able to lie down in less than a day. Thinking about it, I gave up and didn't want to be strong.
My body is clear, although it is not weak, but after all, it has not been long after giving birth, and it is said that you should recuperate more during the confinement, and the consequence of willfulness will only be that you will suffer in the future. But I hardly get out of the carriage unless necessary, and eat and sleep in the carriage. It's okay for a day or two, but it's boring to be like this every day, but I know that marching and fighting is not an outing, and it is impossible to come by my own temperament.
Sometimes I can't help but think about the scene when Zhu Gaoxu sent me back to the south at that time, the same boring hurry, but that time it was much freer, just the two of us in a carriage, saying that we were fleeing, but in fact there were no pursuers to chase after us, walking and stopping, occasionally going into the city to stay in a hotel, mostly resting in the suburbs, I slept in a carriage, and he slept on the roof of the carriage or on the ground. It's just that when I met a black-hearted shopkeeper in the back, I almost died, in the final analysis, my experience in the rivers and lakes is too shallow, and it also proves that there are countless risks for a woman walking outside in ancient times.
This time I went to support the army of King Yan, needless to say, I will definitely see Zhu Di again, I think that Zhu Gaoxu's kid will definitely go, and I am looking forward to seeing him in high spirits.
On the 10th day, Ah Ping told me that I was close to the battlefield, and that King Yan should send someone to meet me soon. Unexpectedly, the soldiers sent out to summon the news came back and reported that the Northern Yuan army had attacked the Yan army that had gone to Mengcheng to defeat at night, and besieged it in the Yanbo Grand Canyon, which was less than ten miles away from the Grand Canyon.
I guess it was for fear of disturbing the morale of the army, but the whole army was not shaken when this letter came, because the letter was transmitted to the generals and then reported to Ah Ping. Ah Ping has never led troops, Zhu Yuanzhang could not have let him lead the troops alone so hastily, and the army had its own generals to accompany him, but they all had to obey him.
I thought that Ah Ping would order immediate reinforcements to rescue the Yan army, but after listening to the news, he didn't say a word, his face was gloomy as water, and the generals below looked at each other. An older man stepped forward and asked Ah Ping to immediately lead troops to reinforce the Yan army, but Ah Ping ordered the whole army to be stationed in place after hesitation, and did not let any generals bring troops to reinforce, only let people spy on the enemy again.
This decision obviously made all the generals dissatisfied, but they only lived in the identity of Ah Ping and did not dare to speak out. When there was no one in private, I couldn't help but ask Ah Ping why he made this decision, and he didn't answer and asked, "Do you also think my decision is wrong?" ”
I groaned, shook my head, and said, "War is not child's play, you don't make any decisions lightly. I just believe that those generals and I are generally puzzled, why didn't we go to reinforce and rescue King Yan when we were only less than ten miles away from that canyon? Is there any reason for this? ”
Ah Ping didn't say anything, just took out the march map to show me, and his slender fingers drew a few lines on it, at first he felt confused, but after looking at those routes carefully, a flash of inspiration flashed in his head, and he suddenly understood: "What do you mean...... Is there fraud in this? ”
I saw that his eyebrows and eyes were evacuated, and his eyes were gloomy and difficult to distinguish, "It only takes three days from Beiping to Mengcheng, and you and I have been on the road for ten days, even if you deduct the number of days on the road to Beiping ordered by the emperor's grandfather, it is impossible for Uncle Yan to march at the speed of the army and have not yet arrived in Mengcheng, not to mention how can Uncle Wang's plan be trapped in the canyon so easily?" I guess that if it wasn't Uncle Wang's plan to lure the enemy, or the Northern Yuan army spying on our military situation, knowing that our reinforcements had arrived, they secretly set up an ambush in the canyon in an attempt to ambush our reinforcements. ”
After listening to his analysis, I suddenly became enlightened, and indeed when I first heard the report that Zhu Di was trapped in the canyon, I also chuckled in my heart, not to mention the previous war, even the Zhu Di I knew himself was also far-sighted, step by step, how could he be trapped rashly? In addition, he is surrounded by brave and elite generals, unless there are also very strategic generals in the Northern Yuan Army.
In fact, Ah Ping was right, the spying on the military came back in less than the night, bringing not only important information, but also one person, Zhu Gaoxu. At that time, I hid in the carriage and quietly looked out from the cracks, today he wore a black armor, but rode a white horse, this black and white combination makes people feel a little nondescript, but this military uniform is still quite heroic on him. I saw him riding on a horse, and the corners of his mouth rose and said to Ah Ping: "Brother Wei, you are really calm?" There's a big war going on in the canyon, don't you go and see the excitement? ”
My heart sank, did I really go to war? Could it be that Ah Ping miscalculated? But I don't think it's right, if the war starts, why would Zhu Gaoxu come alone, and he still looks indifferent.
Ah Ping didn't play with him, but asked in a deep voice, "What happened on the other side of the canyon?" ”
Zhu Gaoxu showed a mouth full of white teeth and smiled: "What can be the matter?" The Northern Yuan army was ambushed by us. ”
"Huh?" The generals on the side were shocked when they heard this, and someone couldn't help but ask: "Didn't you spread a message that Lord Yan's leading army was ambushed by the Northern Yuan army?" How could it be that the Yan army ambushed the Northern Yuan? ”
Zhu Gaoxu sneered and said unceremoniously: "The rabble of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, what can I do with the Beiping Yan Army?" My father tricked them all into a ditch by a trick to lure them in, and didn't he see the blood on me? The other party's generals have all been slashed and killed by me, and now I am picking up the remnants of the captured troops. My father sent me to meet you first, and to tell you that the city of Mongol had been recovered. ”
The soldiers are fast and not tired of cheating, and Zhu Dizhi's use of soldiers is really admirable.
Zhu Gaoxu was sent to pick us up, although there were no other soldiers and generals besides him, but his identity as the son of Zhu Di was enough to gain the trust of the whole army, and he also paid enough attention to the additional reinforcements sent by the imperial court.
The carriage continued to move forward on the road, and Ah Ping did not return to the carriage, but asked for a horse to ride side by side with Zhu Gaoxu. Along the way, I listened to Zhu Gaoxu talking noisily, and asked Ah Ping why he came out to fight and got a carriage, which would seem a little girly; After a while, he said that fortunately, our reinforcements did not rush to reinforcements, otherwise his father and General Zhu Neng's strategy would have been broken.
I couldn't help but complain secretly while sitting in the carriage, is there such a noisy person? However, he has a good relationship with Ah Ping, and he doesn't come to flatter him, and he has a straightforward temperament.
I looked down at what I was wearing, and I couldn't help but wonder if he would be able to recognize me if he would inevitably meet Zhu Gaoxu head-on? Because on the way to come, Ah Ping felt that even if I wore green cloth men's clothes, I was still too girly, so I tried to find a way to darken my skin, and Ah Ping laughed at me on the spot.
But in fact, it's good not to recognize it, the less one person knows, the less chance of being known, Ah Ping brought the woman into the army, although Zhu Yuanzhang agreed, but also ordered him not to be exposed, so let's keep a low profile as much as possible.
Passing through the Yanbo Grand Canyon, I can understand where the name comes from.
The meaning of smoke and waves is that the whole canyon is a mist that cannot be dispersed, and because it happened to be evening when we passed through, the sunset in the sky reflected the dense fog red. The visual distance was only about two feet away, and he could smell the smell of blood in his nose, and he opened the curtain and looked underground, although he couldn't see anything, but it was clear that there had just been a war here, because the ground was dyed red.
At this moment, I realized that I had entered the battlefield of the era of cold weapons, and I was born in a peaceful era as a stranger to these, and I never even thought about it, but any moment in the future will be faced - war and death.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shudder, I felt as if a line of sight was shooting, and as soon as I raised my eyes, I met the inquiring gaze, which was Zhu Gaoxu. I stiffened, and it seemed too deliberate to retract the carriage immediately, but it was uncomfortable to be looked up and down with the kid's unceremonious gaze. Finally, my brain was hot, I glared at him hard and lowered the curtain, and immediately heard Zhu Gaoxu outside shouting: "Hey, I said Brother Wei, who is the person in your carriage?" Why is it so rude, I don't come out when I see General Ben. ”
Hey, this kid is really getting more and more inches in the upper room, do you want me to bow to him? I thought sullenly in the carriage. It's really good to say that he is a dumbfounder, but he really didn't recognize me.
