Chapter Twenty-Seven
When she didn't let Lin Yunrou enter the palace with her, she tried her best to get Liu Che'er's permission. Of course, Huayan knew that Lin Yunrou was telling her leave under false illness, and that time when she loudly counted down the shepherd in front of everyone, and provoked Lin Yunrou to shed beautiful tears, all of which were to attract the distinguished guests of the Accord on the second floor, and the king of Yidu would definitely come forward for Lin Yunrou.
Since the emperor announced that night in the Yidu palace that he would send troops to Pei County on a certain day, Huayan has been paying close attention to the movements of the Quartet. According to her spies, Liu Yifu will send troops in ten days, and Tan Daoji will help him, leading 5,000 troops.
And King Yidu, who does not advocate war, seems to have a small calculation recently, and it coincides with what she is planning. It was in order to figure out their next plan that they deliberately staged a play today, so that the two of them would notice themselves and wait for an opportunity to join in. In this way, perhaps the chances of conspiring with each other will be greater, and at the same time, it also gave Lin Yunrou a serious warning.
Hua Yan pretended to be surprised to look at the person who spoke, and immediately got up and bowed his hand, and said enthusiastically: "Ah! It was the prince, but I didn't know that the prince was coming, and I asked the prince to forgive me for the little neglect. ”
Liu Che'er smiled: "Brother Jia, why are you so angry? If it is because of Miss Lin's matter, can you listen to this king's words? ”
Hua Yan hurriedly leaned over and saluted, "The prince has something to command, and the little brother must obey his orders." ”
Liu Che'er waved his hand and said, "Eh, the Forgotten Dust Building is naturally your eighth master's decision." It's just that Brother Jia is wrong to blame Miss Lin, and I have to plead for Miss Lin. That night, the king invited Miss Lin to the banquet, thinking that Miss Lin was not good for the king's affection, so she had to make this decision. Can Brother Jia look at the face of this king and stop pursuing it? Of course, this king is to blame for this matter, and it is the king's fault. ”
Hua Yan hurriedly leaned over and replied with a smile: "The prince is serious, how dare the little brother blame the prince, not to mention that the prince did not have anything wrong, it was the younger brother who did not care enough about Miss Lin and failed to communicate in time, which led to the small misunderstanding now." Hehehe......"
Liu Che'er took out a square scarf from his arms and handed it to Lin Yunrou to wipe her tears, although he didn't say a word, his eyes were full of pity.
"The younger brother just didn't know that the prince was coming, and I ask the prince to forgive me for the neglect. In order to make up for the mistakes of the younger brother, please allow the younger brother to treat the prince well with wine and food on the Accord, and the younger brother also happens to have some things to ask the prince. The painting bent down and lowered his eyebrows, grinning and making a gesture of please.
Although Liu Che'er didn't know her intentions, after the first few contacts, she gradually let down her guard, so the two followed Huayan back to the Accord where they had stayed.
Hua Yan solemnly whispered to Mu Niang and Sheng Lan not to allow anyone to approach this room, and carefully closed the door, Hua Yan just turned around and walked a few steps into the house, when she saw Xiao Minglang standing in front of the window looking at her. He raised his glass and drank it down. "The Anglo-Taiwanese brothers are unharmed."
On the surface, he is a guest secretary of the imperial court, and Xiao Minglang, who has never participated in party disputes, naturally will not openly appear with Liu Che'er to eat and chat in one place. Although Hua Yan knew that Xiao Minglang was hiding in the house, he still made a surprised appearance, and asked with a smile: "Brother Lang is also here?" Poorly cared for, poorly cared for. ”
Xiao Minglang changed his lazy posture and asked Huayan seriously: "What did Brother Yingtai just say?" ”
Hua Yan was silent, her eyes wandering around, and she was saying how to bring the topic into the topic naturally.
Liu Che'er next to him also spoke, "Brother Jia, you might as well say it if you have something to say." ”
Hua Yan picked up the wine jug, filled the wine glasses on the table one by one, and pretended to be cautious and said: "Lord Wang, Brother Lang, I heard rumors that the emperor is going to send troops to Pei County recently to arrest the rebels, is this news true?" ”
Liu Che'er's face changed, "Brother Jia is used to the days before the moon and the moon, so why do you care about national affairs." ”
Hua Yan pressed his face over, "Is this news true?" Then she sat up straight again, with a sad face. Hey, this Pei County is a military resort, solid as gold, if you don't take another countermeasure, I'm afraid that the moat will become a river of blood this time. ”
Liu Che'er and Xiao Minglang couldn't help but look at each other in surprise, as if they were discussing something, and after a while, Xiao Minglang spoke: "Could it be that the Yingtai brothers have a good plan?" ”
Hua Yan slowly got up and walked to the window, staring at the scenery outside the window, "I can't say that I came up with it, I still heard this news from my friends." They are all a group of chivalrous people, suppressing the strong and helping the weak, and defending the right path. Now that Peixian is in war, the people are in trouble, how can they be missing, this strategy is exactly what they told me, and I am ready to join. ”
When Xiao Minglang heard this, Huo Ran got up, "So, they also want to save the people of Pei County?" How can they do it? ”
Hua Yan pretended to be surprised and turned around and asked, "Listen to what you mean, someone is planning to do the same?" ”
Xiao Minglang turned around and asked Liu Che'er, and only after getting his nod and permission did he say that they had just closed the secret discussion of the Accord.
"Don't hide it from the Yingtai brothers, the prince and I are also planning to attack the city to save people."
She high-fived her excitedly, celebrating that she had finally made it to her destination. "So much the better! They are all people from the rivers and lakes, and they are also my good brothers, and we are also making further plans, but I don't know what the prince and Brother Lang are planning? ”
Xiao Minglang hurriedly pulled the painting aside, inspected the window and saw that there was no movement, and closed the window door tightly. "Brother Yingtai, this matter must not be publicized." Xiao Minglang walked to the table, pressed the four teacups up and down, left and right, put one on each one, and pointed to the teacups and said: "These four teacups are the four city gates of Pei County, namely the North Gate, the South Gate, the West Gate, and the East Gate. There is a moat outside Peicheng, and only the north gate is a dry road. The other three gates were hung high above the drawbridges, and if the drawbridges did not fall, no one could cross them. ”
Hua Yan said: "In this way, the emperor's army will inevitably attack from the north gate?" ”
Xiao Minglang shook his head and put a wooden chopstick on the side of the south gate, "This wooden chopsticks are like the only tributary of the moat that flows into Pei County, and the eldest prince is the vanguard of this campaign, according to his actions in the past few days, it can be seen that flooding Peicheng with moat water is his strategy to attack the city." In this way, he will inevitably wait at the south gate for the moment when the city gate is knocked open by the water. ”
Huayan nodded secretly, what he said was just like what he studied, I didn't expect him to look rough on weekdays, but when he came up with business, his mind was so meticulous and meticulous.
"Flooded Pei County? Aren't the people of Napei County having no way to live? ”
At this time, Liu Che'er got up angrily and slammed his hand on the tea table, causing the tea to overflow. "No way!"
"Such a tragic thing, if I am bumped into by my eighth master, it is impossible to sit idly by!" Huayan was infected by Liu Che'er and began to get excited, but she quickly adjusted her mood. "Peicheng is as solid as gold, how can Brother Yilang break the city without hurting the innocent?"
Xiao Minglang pointed to a clearing in the middle of the four teas, "You can't attack from the outside in, you can only make a hole from the inside out!" ”
"How to fight? The city is very small, how to put a foreign army? ”
"This king has never raised soldiers, and he has no military power, how can he come to the army, and some of them are loyal soldiers who have followed this king for many years." Liu Che'er regained her composure and sat down slowly.
Xiao Minglang continued: "It's not easy to act when there are too many people, we only need to lurk in the city five days in advance, and when the army fights with it, the handle of the north gate is bound to weaken, and we will take everyone to fight out towards the north gate!" ”
It turned out that this was their plan, I thought that Liu Che'er, who was the king of Yidu, had more or less soldiers, but I didn't expect that there were no sons, they were all white-faced scholars who held pens all year round.
Hua Yan got up and paced back and forth in the room, and the plan that she had been thinking about for the past few days seemed to become clearer. She touched the mustache on her lips and grinned. "It's a bit risky to bet only on the North Gate. If the soldiers guarding the west gate and the east gate came and caught turtles in an urn on the spot, wouldn't the jade be burned? I have an idea! ”
Liu Che'er couldn't help but ask, "What is Brother Jia's idea?" ”
She walked to the table and placed the three tea lids at the north, west and east gates. "Brother Lang's plan is a good idea, and then my helper will help you, and you can be done!
There are about 500 of my helpers, and they will all be lurking around Pei County in advance. There are 200 people at the west gate, 200 at the east gate, and only 100 at the north gate.
When the horn of the battle at the south gate sounds, when they embark on the first step of the expedition, we have set up the helpers of the west gate and the east gate in advance to send troops at the same time. They will only deal with it, not really attack the city, so that most of the soldiers in Peicheng will be consumed, and the north gate will be empty.
Then you can quietly go out of the north gate with the people of the city, and there will already be an ambush of a hundred men, and they will escort you out of the city. If Yao Zan really became a thief and had his own court uniform, the people in the city would not have to die because of the water of the moat. This is my plan, claiming to attack the east, but in fact attacking the west, this plan is called, the sound of the east and the west! ”
After painting Yan finished speaking, he swaggered the folding fan, and squeezed his thick eyebrows and round eyes proudly at Liu Che'er and Xiao Minglang.
Xiao Minglang stood up excitedly and held one hand tightly on Hua Yan's shoulder, "What a careful plan!" Brother Yingtai, I really didn't misread you! ”
Seeing this situation, the painting face was suddenly slightly stunned, the two cheeks were crimson, and the expression was completely opposite to the calm appearance just now, I don't know if it was because he was too excited when he was talking, or because of the person in front of him. She struggled to brush Xiao Minglang's hand away, and walked to the table unnaturally and poured a glass of wine to hide her embarrassment.
"Then we'll make an agreement! It's just that the prince, you are lurking in the city, and the danger is much greater. And my helpers are all from the rivers and lakes, they are very arrogant, they are not good at hiding, if they accidentally reveal their identities, the plan will be invalid! ”
Liu Che'er was also excited, "If you can act according to this plan, you will definitely win, and the safety of this king alone is nothing!" The same is true of my men. It's just that where can Brother Jia find helpers, and it has to be five hundred? ”
Hua Yan then poured a glass of wine, walked slowly to the window, pushed the window door open, pointed out of the city, and smiled slyly. "Gangneung Taoyuan!"
