Chapter 42 The Yellow Spring
The torturer was beaten and put down again a moment later.
"I don't deny it, but I'd rather be my own villain."
"What do you mean?"
"Do you remember when you were in the North, Sang Yu Yunhuan blurted out that he threatened me with Sang Yu?"
Yue blinked her eyes and thought about it hard, but she still couldn't remember whether Sang Yu Yunhuan had ever said such a thing, not because she was inevitably a little forgetful when she was old, but even if she heard such words, she would inevitably laugh them off, let alone take them to heart.
"I can't remember if she said it, but if she really had the intention to hide it, it's too late, and if she can really put it on her lips and shout, I'm afraid it won't be true."
Somehow he was suddenly silent for a moment, his expression seemed to be a little strange, but Yue missed the strangeness of that moment, and just muttered to himself.
She deliberately pretended not to be impulsive, but in fact she had ulterior motives just to paralyze others. But I always feel that she just wants to force you to comply, but she doesn't really want to rebel. ”
Yue raised his eyes meaningfully and glanced at Xing, and Xing secretly cursed in his heart, but on the surface, he had to pretend to be immobile and avoided this topic.
"Whatever her reason, there must be a reason for the so-called nonsense, even if she was only impulsive at the time, but since the thought has been born, it cannot go away. I'd rather I had a heart, but she still disappointed me. ”
Yue listened to his words and sighed a little for a while, what the punishment said was right, since Sang Yu Yunhuan had that thought, her feelings had deteriorated, and Tuoba Yi just captured her heart with great precision.
At the beginning of the punishment, she indulged in a momentary gaffe because she was distracted by her past feelings, but she also buried the root of today's bane.
He sent Haoyu and Qi Zhen to Sangyu, but he just pushed the boat down the river, and if nothing happened, he would like to throw Yu, and he didn't mind that she stole Sangyu, and they were the best spies if something happened.
"Having said that, you concealed Haoyu and Qi Zhen from calculating them...
"Who said I was hiding it from them? Before they left, I told them all about the cause and effect, and if they did not want to go to Sangyu, I sent them to Youtu. ”
“。。。 Did they choose Sangyu themselves? ”
"Of course. There are no eggs under the nest, and they voluntarily chose mulberry elm. ”
Yue is completely speechless now, it is obvious that he calculated Haoyu and Qi Zhen in this matter, but he is still calculating above board, so that people can't find fault at all.
"But even if this news is true, the Zhenbei Army was still in Wuzhou yesterday, how could it reach Sangyu so quickly at the speed of a large army's march?"
"We really underestimated the king of Yongning and the Zhenbei army, he marched all the way and led the western army to rush all night without sleep, took Sangyu in one go, and then took Sangyu as a station to rest well, such a beautiful opening battle not only wrote off all the fatigue of the previous rush, but also made the entire Zhenbei army morale like a rainbow."
“。。。 For hundreds of years, the unbreakable southern half of the northern country fell, and the people of the northern country were panicked, but the military spirit of the Qi country was greatly boosted, coupled with the defection of Sangyu, the strength of the northern country was greatly reduced, and the three departments of Yiri, Tuoba and Ganqi were in danger. . . This is really a good move with one stone and three birds with one stone, and Han Yi is indeed a rare general. ”
"Yes, it's really rare, but how could he be willing to be subservient."
"I'm just curious how he managed to win his trust in him, a capricious traitor to glory."
Xing paused for a moment, and seemed to have some speculation in his heart, but he didn't want to say more.
"Instead of wasting your mind on Han Yi, you might as well think about what your good big brother should do."
"Brother Xiao? What happened to him? ”
"The commander of this northern expedition is the king of Yongning."
Yue was stunned for a moment, she really hadn't thought about this problem originally, but now after listening to the sentence of punishment, Yue suddenly realized that there was a lot of article in it.
Xiao Weike is the general of Qi State, not only commanding the Western Army for many years, but also making great contributions in the recent palace change, but in such an important battle of the Northern Expedition, he was only awarded the title of deputy general, but became the commander from the inexperienced King Ning.
He no longer trusts Xiao Wei.
If this is defeated, then he will definitely use this to use the decision to go to Xiao Wei's military power.
The rabbit dies and the dog cooks, the prosperity must decline, cross the river and tear down the bridge, and the best ending is to let Xiao Wei be an empty general.
But the worst ...
If this battle is defeated, then Xiao Wei is afraid that there will be no future.
Secondly, the northern kingdom and the Qi kingdom have been confronted for many years, and they have some understanding of the style of Xiao Wei and other generals in the army, but this time the style of the Yongning king's army is bound to be different from that of the generals in the army, which makes it impossible to speculate, which is a great disadvantage to the northern country.
Yue pondered solemnly, but Xing had already stopped writing, picked up the letter on the table and studied it carefully.
Yue glanced at it, to the effect that he had not been killed to the rest of the Ministry, and told them not to panic when they did their part.
After so many incidents one after another, Yue had long forgotten that they were all people whose whereabouts were unknown in the eyes of many people, especially most of the generals in the northern kingdom were also kept in the dark.
In the past three months, the various ministries of the northern kingdom have still maintained a superficial peace, after all, compared to seizing power, the Qi country is the biggest threat at the moment, but it is inevitable that the heart will be troubled and the people's hearts will be turbulent.
But now that there is something happening to Sang Yu Yunhuan, all the ministries must be panicked and have their own thoughts, if the punishment is no longer brought back to life, it will really be a big deal.
Xing walked out of the room with the letter, and Hu Da, who was already waiting outside the room, immediately greeted him, and handed him the letter in his hand.
"Lord, that note...
"Don't ask more, you take this letter and go back first, secretly gather the other clan leaders, and be sure to stabilize them."
"But..."
"But what, don't go quickly!"
Hu Da looked at the punishment again and again, and then looked at Yue, and finally left without saying anything.
Although Hu Da didn't say it, Yue understood what he wanted to say.
Such a big thing happened in the northern country, and only his amber commander and a letter may not be able to calm the current situation, and only standing in front of the chiefs of the tribes with the punishment intact is the best choice to stabilize people's hearts.
However, Xing chose to stay in Huaihe, except for the reason that he didn't think about that plan.
Although the Huaihe River incident can indeed be of great help to the current situation if it can be successful, but this Huaihe River matter is not credible, except for the death, no one knows when the next batch of grain ships will come, so wait endlessly when it will be the end.
The Zhenbei army has already broken the door of the house, and the war will start soon, although the lord has already arranged for the various departments, but the military situation is changing rapidly, and he still has to sit in charge of it himself, but he just let Hu Da go back first for the sake of Huaihe, which is really worrying.
"Are you going to wait until the Huai River is done before rushing back?"
"Of course, Sangyu Toucheng has already made us lose the upper hand, and only by borrowing grain and grass can we get back a city. I have made up my mind about this matter, and you don't need to persuade me again. ”
Yue was speechless for a while, and lowered his head astringently.
In fact, she didn't intend to persuade him at all, because she knew that she shouldn't, couldn't, and couldn't persuade him, but he blocked the way to persuade him without even giving her a chance to speak.
They still have cracks in the end.
Yue felt a pain in his heart, and was silent for a moment before continuing.
"But no one knows when this batch of grain and grass will come, and we can't wait endlessly."
"No, the Zhenbei Army has entered Sangyu, and now it is impossible to have any other reason than to wait for rear support. This batch of grain and grass is the reassurance of the Zhenbei Army, how to start a war if there is no grain and grass? Therefore, at most, there will be only one or two days, and this batch of grain and grass must reach the Huai River. ”
"But what if this batch of grain and grass doesn't go by water?"
"In the past few days, I have not seen any suspected grain transport teams passing by in the scarlet killings I have placed in various places, if the grain transport team set off yesterday, it will take at least ten days to arrive, and the emperor will not be able to wait that long."
Xing's tone was very firm, and Yue completely believed him.
But she didn't know that although she said this, she was not completely sure in her heart.
With his understanding of the emperor's death, there will be news of the next batch of grain and grass within three days, but this is only based on his understanding of the emperor's death after all.
There are too many variables, but the situation is constantly out of his control.
In three days, winning can completely reverse the current situation, but if you lose...
No one can afford to lose.
This big gamble is not so much about time, but about people's hearts, the hearts of the emperor, and the hearts of all the departments in the north.
In a blink of an eye, another day passed, the night was deep, but the punishment did not have the slightest sleep, but turned out a few jars of wine that Yu Tuyong forced to Hu Da when he left Yudu, at that time he was still too cumbersome and did not want to take it away, but Hu Da said that it was rare for him to love Mr. Youtu's craftsmanship, but a few jars of wine can weigh it, and he smiled and carried it.
On the way to the Huai River, I was afraid that the wine jar would be broken, but who would have thought that in just one day, things would be wrong, and I couldn't find the taste of the past.
If it weren't for Amber, I'm afraid there wouldn't even be these jars of wine left.
"That's all there is left?"
Yue saw that he was sitting alone in the courtyard, and after looking at him for a while, he was still sitting beside him.
"Well, the wine is still the same pot of wine, but it doesn't taste like that at all."
"I never thought that time had any meaning before, just a hundred years and a thousand years, there are still a few people around me, if anyone is feathered, it will just return to heaven and earth, and they will come back after hundreds of years. After living for thousands of years, I suddenly understood what it meant to be lost. ”
"Falling from the Yellow Spring, no matter looking back or looking forward, I can't find that figure anymore."
"After drinking these jars, there will soon be new ones, and the flavor will be different every day. The first life of a mortal is only a few decades of Liao Liao, and even if he is reincarnated again, he will no longer be the same him. ”
"No matter how many times he is reincarnated, he can enter your eyes in this life is his creation, but wait a few more decades, you will always have a way to get him back."
"I can't hide anything from you."
Xing showed a tacit smile, but Yue just silently poured him a second glass of wine.
