Chapter 45: No One Greets!
Subsequently, Yuwen Shihong carefully analyzed the situation in the imperial city with Yuwen Hao, and the two reached an agreement.
On the night of leaving, Yang Qianxue hugged Yuwen Shihong in bed for a long time, and was extremely reluctant to worry.
"Your Majesty, can't you really let your concubines go with you?"
Yuwen Shihong touched Yang Qianxue's head and said helplessly.
"Xue'er, you are my queen of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, how can you go to the front line? What's more, I don't go to dangerous places, don't worry! ”
Yang Qianxue wept silently, and her beautiful eyes were slightly red.
The personal secret guard, Yuwen Shihong finally let Wei Qi and Wei Tiantian follow him, Wei Tiantian pretended to be his maid, and Wei Qi hid in the dark to protect.
After making all the complete preparations, Yuwen Shihong took the five thousand guards and went in the direction of Wangzhou City by water!
The marching war drums sounded, the imperial city was solemn, and the guards beat the war drums to see them off!
On the shore of the water, Yuwen Shihong walked out in a sassy dragon robe, his eyes full of domineering!
"Zhong Aiqing, I will return on the next day, and the imperial city will be handed over to you!"
"Your Majesty!"
The ministers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were crying on the water's shore, and they couldn't stand steadily.
"Your Majesty, you must take care!"
Yuwen Shihong stood on the boat and waved to them, helplessly raising his voice.
"Let's all go back, this battle awaits my good news!"
At that moment, there was a sound of horses' hooves.
Liang Shiyan was wearing a suit of armor, and at the last moment when the big ship set sail, he led several people to run over, and fiercely pierced the long knife into the ground, his eyes were red.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to go with you!"
Yuwen Shihong was stunned when he saw this.
"General Liang, what are you doing here?!"
Liang Shiyan turned over and dismounted, passed the ministers, and knelt down on one knee.
"Your Majesty, the old minister still has some talent in leading the troops to fight, please ask the emperor to bring the old minister with him in this battle!"
Yuwen Shihong is in a dilemma, after all, Liang Shiyan is already in his fifties, and in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, this age is already the age to retire.
Liang Shiyan roared in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty!"
Yuwen Shihong had no choice but to get off the boat to greet Liang Shiyan in person.
"General Liang, since you insist on doing so, I only need to take you with me, but General Liang must not be reckless on the road!"
Liang Shiyan was overjoyed and hurriedly said.
"Your Majesty, rest assured!"
At this time, south of the Huai River, Yangzhou.
"What do you say? The emperor wants to drive the expedition in person, and he has already set off?! ”
Hou Mo Chen Qiong's eyes widened, and she slapped her big palm on the table with a big bang, her eyes full of anger.
"How so?! What does the little emperor think, first he had to wait for me to wait for the watch city, and now he is doing something to drive the royal expedition, is he dying! ”
Hou Mo Chen Qiong scolded angrily directly, his eyes full of disgust and anger.
Yu Wenzhao, Xue Jiong and the others on the side also frowned tightly.
Sima Xiaonan stood up coldly and brushed the hem of his clothes.
"Hmph, it's not a joke on the battlefield, when the little emperor who doesn't know whether he lives or dies comes to see the sinister battlefield, he naturally knows that he is afraid, and he runs away!"
Yuwen Zhao and Xue Jiong glanced at each other, and their hearts were also full of dissatisfaction.
"We don't have time to play any tricks with him, since he is coming, let him come, as for whether we should listen to his random command at that time, it is our own business!"
The generals all broke up unhappily, and they didn't have any hope in their hearts about Yuwen Shihong's personal expedition, and even they felt that this was just a joke and would only bring trouble to them!
Naturally, they didn't plan to welcome Yuwen Shihong at all.
Two days later, Yuwen Shihong's fleet arrived at the port of Yangzhou City.
Liang Shiyan and Yuwen Shihong stood on the bow deck, their expressions serious.
"General Liang, is this the place where our army is stationed in Yangzhou City?"
Liang Shiyan bowed his head and looked left and right, but there was some doubt in his eyes.
"Yes, that's right, I remember that I had already passed the word to General Mo and them before, why didn't anyone come to greet them?"
Yuwen Shihong squinted his eyes and looked at the empty port, and a flash of speculation flashed in his heart.
"If no one greets you, no one will greet you, find a hidden place to set up the cargo ship first, let's go, let's go down and have a look!"
A trace of disgruntled anger rose in Liang Shiyan's heart.
"Damn, what the hell are they doing!"
On the other side, the general's tent.
The guards hurriedly came to report.
"General, the emperor's ship has arrived!"
"Little Emperor, have they arrived?"
Xue Jiong frowned, and then strode out.
"Someone, I'll pick you up at the port!"
Before he could go far, he was stopped by Hou Mo Chen Qiong and others.
"General Xue, where are you going?"
Xue Jiong frowned.
"General Hou Mo, what do you mean by this? Don't you know that the emperor has arrived? Naturally, I went to greet it! ”
Hou Mo Chen Qiong sneered and waved his hand.
"Greeting? Welcome a fart, whether his little emperor is worthy or not, you stay here, you are not allowed to go anywhere, I want to see if the little emperor will cry out angrily! ”
Although Xue Jiong felt that something was wrong in his heart, but Hou Mo Chen Qiong tried his best to stop him, and he had to let go of this idea.
So there was a bleak scene when the emperor came in person, but no one came to the port to greet him!
Unlike Liang Shiyan's anger, Yuwen Shihong is very calm.
After getting off the boat, Yuwen Shihong did not rush to find someone, but walked around the Yangzhou City barracks with the guards.
The soldiers' martial arts arena is much larger than that in the imperial capital, and the soldiers' training state, as Yuwen Shihong expected, is not as lazy as the guards, but it is not much better.
Even Yuwen Shihong saw someone lazy and ran to the side to lie down and sleep!
There are only a few people in the feeding area of the horses, and some of the horses are skinny!
The more he looked at it, the more Liang Shiyan's face turned red, and he roared angrily.
"Damn! What the hell are Xue Jiong and Yuwen recruiting doing?! ”
Yuwen Shihong sighed and shook his head slightly.
No wonder the front-line soldiers are losing and retreating, and it is difficult to defeat in such a state of training!
Up and down in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, they all despise the army's drills too much!
As the saying goes, jade can't be cut without a weapon, even those famous iron-blooded divisions in history are trained step by step, and such a lazy army can't win at all!
After inspecting the current situation of the army, Yuwen Shihong took Liang Shiyan to the main account without saying a word.
"General Liang, Your Majesty! I'm going to tell the generals now! ”
The soldiers in charge of the account recognized Liang Shiyan, hurriedly took a few people to settle down, and went to tell the main generals.
dragged on until noon, Yuwen Shihong waited for a few hours, and Mo Chen Qiong was late to bring people.
