When they all returned to Gusu, Shen Minghuang and Wang Chengdan, both of them were very happy in their hearts, everything was ready.

On this day they took proceedings again in the Great Tent, and for the last time they discussed the place of the decisive battle. Wei Bingyue still insisted that he would withdraw all the Gusu troops and lure the enemy deeper. Shen Minghuang looked at Wei Yangyang, who was sitting at the back: "What do you say?" ”

Since that day, Wei Yang stepped on the fire and thunder and was about to die with the cheek wave snow butterfly, he has changed his attitude towards this girl, took her out to play last month, and allowed her to come in to listen today. Everyone knows that his princess died of illness two years ago, and this little girl of the Wei family is innocent and lively, which has to make people think, does King Xiang have a heart? Wei Shuping has a very high prestige in the military department, and he has also won the trust of the emperor, is it possible that this Haixi Wei family, who gave birth to a man, wants to produce a concubine or side concubine of Fengquan Palace?

Wei Yangyang didn't know what everyone thought, but said: "You withdraw, I am willing to lead troops to defend the city." Wei Bingyue glared at her: "What nonsense are you talking about?" Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she said, "Gusu is so beautiful, I don't want to see it fall, I promise, as long as I live, the pirates will not be able to enter Gusu City." Her words were naturally to prove to Shen Minghuang that she was not a traitor.

Wei Bingyue saw that she disagreed with herself, and slapped the table angrily: "Children don't talk nonsense here!" Wei Yangyang was very unconvinced, and said with a stiff neck: "I didn't talk nonsense, the defense of Gusu City is not as strong as Haixi, you are afraid of heavy losses, you withdraw first and leave me behind." The walls are not strong, but you can use cannons, bows and arrows, and even if the cannons are finished, the arrows are shot, and there are knives and men, and if all the swords are curled and the men are killed, I will ignite all the fire and thunder, and I will die with the enemy! Everyone knows that what she said about "all the same" is naturally not a big talk, she will really do it.

Wei Bingyue has made outstanding achievements in war, and his words in the Wei family army have a lot of weight. When he saw that his sister dared to confront him in front of everyone, he became even more angry and shouted, "Do you want to eat military sticks?" He shouted outside the tent: "Come, military law serves!" He shouted, and two soldiers came in with their sticks. Wei Yangyang was startled, glared at Wei Bingyue, and thought: What you told me was just a quarrel, where is there a military stick? Lie to me again?

Everyone saw that Wei Bingyue really wanted to use military law, and hurriedly persuaded each other. Everyone thought in their hearts, this Wei Bingyue is too crazy, although you are a general from the fourth grade, but your sister is likely to be the person of the King of Fengquan in the future, and she is broken, where is the King of Fengquan, how can you have good fruit to eat? No matter how hard you fight, you can't compare to the pillow wind of a beauty. When they advised him, he did not listen, but he wanted to be beaten.

At this time, Shen Minghuang smiled and said to the two sergeants, "Retreat first." Hearing him say this, Wei Bingyue breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, fortunately, the last time she slapped her is not over, if this military stick is beaten, she will go home and sue her, and my father will have to unload my leg. He even actually touched his legs, well, he finally saved his limbs.

Shen Minghuang said: "A girl in the Wei family dares to say that she will die with the enemy. If we withdraw, we will be laughed at by the whole world. Could it be that our elite soldiers and strong generals in Dayang are not as bold as a woman? He stood up and said, "I've decided, Shougu Su!" We are in Gusu, a decisive battle with the enemy! Now that he has finally made the decision, the next month, the various ministries will start to deploy in full swing.

On the island of Han won, these messages have been received one after another. And there was a little dispute between the three leaders about this information. The pirate leader Xiao Diao'er believed: "Gusu has no danger to defend, and it is the best to fight." And the cheek wave snow butterfly thinks: "The official army must guard Gusu with heavy troops, so Gusu must not go." ”

Xiao Diao'er said: "Last time, Wei Shuping's daughter secretly dated Gongzi Bo, and Wei Bingyue knew about it, but he couldn't ambush him. There is a flat land, except for the beach and the stream, at most thirty or fifty people can be hidden, and the ground is slippery, and the fire and thunder cannot be detonated. Isn't that the best place to attack? Speaking of Wei Yangyang, he laughed, if it wasn't for her to detonate the fire thunder, he didn't know that after the fire thunder of the official army saw the water, the power would be lost so much. Sure enough, after a woman falls in love with a man, she loses her mind.

Tuo Bujing said: "However, with my understanding of Wei Bingyue, he will definitely not make this decision easily, there must be fraud in this." Xiao Diao'er nodded and said, "Yes, you judged correctly, but the fraud is not with Wei Bingyue, but with the fifth prince." Both Tobujing and Cheek Snow Butterfly looked at him.

He continued: "Two nobles, this is different from you in Haixi, Wei Bingyue has the final say in Haixi, and even Wei Shuping is willing to listen to him. But here, he is just an ordinary official, and where the final battle is, the fifth prince has the final say. When he finished speaking, he held up a letter and said to the two: "Look. What was written on the letter was Shen Minghuang's plan to "kill three soldiers with two peaches".

After watching it, Snow Butterfly laughed and said, "General Zuo, you might as well do it as a fake show, go and accept Zhao'an, and take the opportunity to go to Gusu City to have a look." I heard that the girl's face there is more tender than water, and there are pleasure boats everywhere, white rice and clear water everywhere, like a place like paradise. ”

He inadvertently made a joke, but he was suspicious: "The eldest son of this old thief died in our water demon, although we didn't kill him, but he was not jealous, and he was obedient everywhere." He has been oppressed by us for so many years, how can he not complain at all? Could it be that he really believed the rumors, thought that his son was killed by me, and took the opportunity to take revenge? Hayes is a small country, he has never seen much of the world, what if it is not me who affirms Huang Zhao'an, but him? He'll definitely go! Yes, this Zhao'an plan is not deceitful, but the person who recruits An's may not be me, otherwise, why is he so happy? ”

A few days later, they received several more news one after another, all the 3,000 people of the Weijia Army were stationed outside Gusu City, and all the fire thunder and red-coated artillery were also transferred outside the city. And those seven hundred feet long giant warships also sailed from Yongyin to Gusu.

* According to the usual practice, before the war, the officers and soldiers were going to Qiantang Mansion to pay homage to General Yue Fei. In order to prevent the enemy from raiding, all the soldiers stayed in Gusu, and only the generals set off together, first took a boat to the West City Gate, and then rode to Qiantang. But before they set out, the trouble-seeking Yin Yushi came again, and he stopped Shen Minghuang's horse and said, "The minister will also go outside the city to kill the enemy." ”

Wei Yangyang looked at him in surprise and asked, "You?" What are you going to do? You can't lift a knife again. Yin Yushi ignored her, raised his head to Shen Minghuang and said: "Your Highness, the ancestors of the ministers have been Gusu people for generations, and they can kill the enemy in the Wei family, and so can our locals." The minister only has one son who has not yet married, and he still expects him to leave behind our Yin family, and he is reluctant to let him go to the battlefield, but the minister is willing to repay the country with death. ”

He had always hated the Wei family, but he knew that Wei Bingyue was the main general, so he stood under the horse and said to him: "General Wei, you can do whatever you ask me to do, you can carry the wounded soldiers and explosives, let me stand in the front, and shout at the enemy." I'm in my early sixties anyway, so it's not a pity to die. ”

He has been an official for decades and has been very pedantic, and he can't get used to this or that, because Wei Bingyue loves to linger in the Qinglou, and he has played this book five times. But officials go to official brothels, which is allowed by the law, and there is nothing wrong with it. He stared at Wei Bingyue's marriage to a coffin again, saying that he had destroyed the Gangchang, and it was another three legatos. So Wei Bingyue wanted to hang him on the city tower several times, seal his mouth, and make him unable to make a sound when he was shot by the enemy.

But now that he is really willing to face the enemy, Wei Bingyue is a little unbearable. He immediately made a military etiquette to Yin Qingduo seriously, and said, "Okay, then, let's ask Yin Yushi to help us carry the arrows." ”

Yin Qingduo was rambling on weekdays, and he didn't say much at the moment, he only said "yes", then saluted Shen Minghuang and Wei Bingyue, and then turned around and walked in the direction of the barracks.

Shen Minghuang knew that Wei Bingyue did not refuse him, but assigned him a task, obviously moved by his righteousness and admired him very much. Wei Yangyang is very happy, she has never been far away, this time she came to Jiangnan, not only can she often go out, but also go to Qiantang for the second time, so she kept talking all the way.

Although the generals were informal, everyone found that King Fengquan took care of the daughter of the general guard, and no matter what questions she asked, he was willing to answer patiently. Although Miss Wei likes to wear men's clothes and doesn't like makeup and jewelry, she is indeed a very beautiful girl.

After receiving the news on Han Won Island, Cheek Snow Butterfly couldn't help but sigh with emotion, in the end, he was a young man, young and vigorous. These five princes are also lovers, he doesn't understand military affairs, and he has no idea about fighting, but he is really handy at pleasing girls.

Shen Minghuang and his entourage arrived at Qiantang Mansion two days later, and the sacrifice was held in Yue Fei Temple on the edge of the West Lake. Yue Fei is a generation of famous generals, who died unjustly and is respected. Whenever there is a big war, the local generals of the two counties in the south of the Yangtze River will come to worship him. Although Wei Bingyue is not from Zhejiang, the famous general Yue Fei is simply a god-like existence for people in the military. Who doesn't admire him for being brave, intelligent, strict in his administration, and loyal? Therefore, under the leadership of Shen Minghuang, all the generals respectfully kowtowed to the statue of Yue Fei, and then lined up to hold knives, and everyone smashed the kneeling statue of Qin Hui's dog thief with the back of their knives.

At the end of the sacrifice, when the generals walked out of Yue Fei's temple, Wei Bingyue took out a small cloth bag from his arms, put it in front of Yue Fei's statue, and said: "General Yue, when we came in February, we passed through Tangyin County, Yuzhou County, your hometown, and I got off the boat to load a handful of soil, and now I put it here to relieve your homesickness." May you bless us with a great victory! ”

Because Wei Yangyang is a woman, she can't participate in this ceremony, so she can only wait outside Yue Fei Temple. After the sacrificial ceremony was over, after everyone came out, she refused to go, ran into Yue Fei's temple by herself, bowed three times to Yue Fei's statue, knocked her head down, thought about it, as if three bows were not enough, so she knelt down again, and bowed three more times. Then he ran to Qin Hui's kneeling statue, pulled out his knife, and smashed it twice. Then he stood up and walked out.

Shen Minghuang had already changed from his official uniform into civilian clothes, waited for her outside, and asked, "Why did you worship twice just now?" ”

Wei Yangyang was very excited: "This is Grandpa Yue, I grew up listening to Grandpa Yue's stories. My thirteenth uncle can't come, so I'll say goodbye to him. Moreover, our Wei family's ancestral home is Kaifeng Mansion in Yuzhou County, and Grandpa Yue is from Tangyin County, Yuzhou County. Shen Minghuang smiled: "Well, this time the idiom was used correctly." ”

Wei Yangyang sighed and said in front of everyone: "I thought Gusu was already very beautiful, and this Qiantang was also very beautiful, and I was still unsatisfied when I came last time." It's a pity that we have to rush back to Gusu and can't stay here longer. Shen Minghuang said: "There is heaven above, there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below, and the south of the Yangtze River has always been picturesque." There is the Leifeng Pagoda of the White Lady, we didn't have time to go last time, do you want to see it today? When he said this, he naturally wanted to date a beautiful woman. Everyone was very interested, so they said goodbye one by one and went back to the Qiantang Mansion to rest first.

Wei Yangyang shook his head: "No, it's important to resist the enemy, I won't go." Shen Minghuang nodded approvingly: "Well, she is worthy of being the daughter of the general guard, and she is very knowledgeable." However, the pirates will not come out in seven or eight days, so we will have time to rush back and play here for two days, so it doesn't matter. ”

Then, the two of them took a carriage to the foot of Leifeng Pagoda. Wei Yangyang asked: "Wu Gongzi, you say, is there really a white lady down here?" Shen Minghuang looked at her with a gentle gaze: "You want to know if there is one, let's go in and have a look, isn't it?" ”

The two of them went around in a big circle on the first floor, but they didn't find the white lady. Wei Yangyang was a little uneven, and said: "For a man who betrayed himself, it is really not worth being pressed under this tower, and it is me who wants to be replaced." Hum! Shen Minghuang asked curiously, "It's you, how?" Wei Yangyang touched his knife: "Once unfaithful, don't use it a hundred times!" I'm sorry for my man, why do you want him to do it? ”

The two men climbed the stairs to the top of the tower. Both of them are extremely tall and richly dressed, the man's thick eyebrows and high nose are handsome, and the woman's smile is full of heroism, standing in the crowd, it is very eye-catching. The lotus flowers in the West Lake are full of ponds, and the scenery I saw at the broken bridge last evening is not the same. Wei Yangyang ran around the tower and took a look at the surrounding scenery.

Shen Minghuang said: "The lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red. When the lotus flowers are in full bloom, they are extremely beautiful. Wei Yangyang patted his head: "Ah, I have also learned this poem, but why can't I remember it?" Shen Minghuang smiled: "Because you don't read much, you are familiar with 300 Tang poems, and you can't compose poems and can chant." If you can memorize all the poems you have learned, you will be able to blurt out them when you use them. However, he paused, and then said: "The Wei family has raised you very well, and it is already very good that you can know so many words and read so many books." Wei Yang didn't believe it: "Really? ”

Shen Minghuang nodded: "Yes, the princess in the palace, the words she has learned should be similar to yours." ”

Wei Yangyang asked: "Oh, the prince knows a lot of words, and the princess doesn't have to know so much, doesn't she?" Shen Minghuang replied: "Yes, the princess will marry in the future, and she doesn't have to manage the government, so naturally she doesn't need to learn so many words." Wei Yangyang said: "That's better to read, like His Royal Highness, how good it is to be able to blurt out." ”

She looked at the West Lake again and again, and Shen Minghuang asked, "Do you like it here?" She said: "Well, we don't have enough water to drink, and the next heavy rain is rarer than the New Year, and there is water everywhere here, how good." Not only the trees, but also the roots of the walls are covered with moss, which is so beautiful that I look at it every day, and I am not annoyed. ”

Shen Minghuang's eyes, full of affection, looked at her like a hook: "Then I'll take you to a better place." ”

Wei Yangyang said curiously: "It's better than the water of this West Lake?" Shen Minghuang asked, "Have you ever heard of the tide of the Qiantang River?" August 18 tide, spectacular world no. Wei shook his head.

Shen Minghuang said: "The tide is beating the waves, like ten thousand horses galloping, higher than this tower, it is the beautiful scenery of Qiantang." When Wei Yangyang heard this, he became interested, and asked tentatively: "Then, can we go?" Shen Minghuang replied: "Well, the best time for the tide of the Qiantang River is the Mid-Autumn Festival. But in the middle of the month, you can also watch, today is July 14, let's set off tonight, tomorrow we can catch up to see the tide. ”

After all, he really took Wei Yangyang down the tower to take a car and rushed to the Qiantang River. The next day, when the two arrived, they encountered a surging tide and crashed on the shore, which was very spectacular. Wei Yangyang has never seen such a strange scene, this tide is fighting, and it can really raise a wave more than ten stories high! She danced excitedly, and without thinking much about it, she pulled up Shen Minghuang's sleeves, and the two of them stood forward, looking more clearly.

The people who followed them saw that Shen Minghuang was obviously more interested in the beauty in front of him than the tide. He lowered his head, his mouth was close to Wei Yangyang's ear, as if he was saying sweet words, Wei Yangyang listened to it, showing an incredible expression, but immediately laughed.

When the second tide hits, the waves rise into the air with a loud noise, and the river roars towards the shore, hiding the crowd of onlookers on the shore. When the tide passed, the stone was empty, and the two men were gone!
