Volume 2 The Puppet Son of Heaven Chapter 85 Gambling out of the city
This time, Liangzhou mobilized troops and horses again, and it was obviously not as well prepared as the previous crusade against Lianzhou.
The previous time it was to take the initiative to send troops, but this time it was a passive response, so all kinds of preparations were extremely hasty, and the manpower transfer was also extremely frequent.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Sun Ning, the puppet son of heaven, except that Guo Yan came to ask for the will at the beginning and obtained the emperor's support, he was excluded from this decision to use troops, and it will only be a few days before he knows what step the arrangement will be.
However, it can't be said that it is completely irrelevant, and there are two effects that are quite obvious.
One is that the use of the palace has been quickly reduced.
Whether it is daily food or daily necessities such as candles, there will naturally be no shortage in Sun Ning's bedroom, but the people below are still deducted.
In this regard, even Wei Shen complained, let alone others.
The second is that Guo Chong has not come much during this time, and it is said that many errands have fallen on him, although it is not important, but it is also cumbersome, who made him a child of the Guo family?
Even a gentleman like him, who usually has nothing to do, has been assigned some errands, and those children of the eunuchs who claim to be Liangzhou Junyan are naturally even less idle.
Therefore, the second gambling fight, which was originally scheduled to take place in two or three days, was delayed.
In this regard, Sun Ning behaved calmly enough, and there was no impatience at all, as if he had not made any arrangements for this.
In this way, another half a month passed, and seeing that March was over, Guo Yan finally took the elite to take the first step and went north. Other soldiers and horses in Liangzhou will also escort the grain, grass and baggage from Lianzhou and other places on the road after they are ready one after another.
As for the soldiers and horses in other places, I heard that there have also been some moves, and it seems that the will given by him, the puppet emperor, is somewhat useful.
……
On the last day of March, Sun Ning finally left the palace again after a lapse of more than half a month.
Still the same as before, he came out in Guo Chong's carriage in disguise, only took a few guards, and went straight to the west gate of Liangzhou.
As you can see along the way, the city of Liangzhou is still prosperous, and the people are not affected by this re-dispatch of troops, and they still look like they are living and working in peace and contentment.
Obviously, this is the confidence brought to everyone by the previous big victory in Lianzhou, so that the people of Liangzhou are convinced that their adults can hold their territory and continue to expand to ensure the safety of everyone.
"It seems that Mrs. Guo's local reputation is quite high. I'm afraid that among the people, I, the emperor, are not as popular as him. Sun Ning came with emotion.
Guo Chong didn't act like ordinary people because of this, he just filled a cup for Sun Ning: "Your Majesty has praised it falsely, my father just did his duty as a place guard." Moreover, if it is out of the border of Liangzhou, my father will have little influence. ”
"It may be so now, but who knows if it continues?" Sun Ning said, seeing that the other party still wanted to open his mouth to say something, he smiled again, "Don't mention this, take me out of the city today to gamble with Cheng Jizong and them, right?" ”
"Yes, they finally got free, so naturally they want to win back a city." Guo Chong also laughed, with a smug expression, "Don't you know, these days, we have been proud in front of their gang, but we have suffocated them."
"Especially this time, there are still many of our two parties in one place on some errands, so naturally they are ridiculed. Because of that previous victory, we have to speak to them louder.
"So as soon as they are free today, they can't wait to fight again to save face."
Speaking of the back, Guo Chong's face became a little uneasy again: "I'm afraid that this time we will lose, because what they want to compete with is indeed riding and shooting!" ”
Sun Ning took a sip of wine, shook his head and said, "I really let you guess." It seems that these two are their longest point, and your shortest point? ”
"yes...... We can still fight if we play anything else, compared to riding and archery......" Guo Chong was completely unsure in his eyes, and couldn't help but look at Sun Ning, "I don't know if Your Majesty has any experience in this?" ”
Riding and shooting, he is not too unfamiliar with the original Sun Ning.
Although later generations have long been the world of mechanized combat, and no matter how harsh the environment is, it can be reached by high-performance jeeps, but he has also practiced horseback riding or something.
As for archery, it is a regular event that he uses to practice mental endurance and accurate head.
But when the two are put together, Sun Ning is really not too sure, and compared with the ancients who used this as the main means of fighting, Sun Ning dare not say that he can win.
Coupled with another, more important reason, his answer at this time was even more straightforward: "I'm afraid this will disappoint you." ”
"Then we're going to lose today." After Guo Chong heard the answer, he sighed again.
Obviously, they all pinned their last hope on Sun Ning, but the result was still in vain.
While talking, the car has left Liangzhou City, and after turning a few corners, it has come to a relatively remote place more than ten miles away from the city.
Originally, this was also an official road, but with the opening of newer and flatter official roads, the area became desolate. Especially now that there is a war in the city, there are fewer people out of the city, and it seems more and more deserted.
However, today's slope is particularly lively, and when Sun Ning's carriage arrived, many carriages and horses were resting under the steep slope.
The sons and daughters of the two parties are divided into two piles at this time, and they are talking to each other.
As soon as he saw Sun Ning and the others coming, Liang Yuan had already brought all his friends to greet him: "Why did you come, we have been waiting for a while." ”
"There's something delayed at home, but isn't the time yet up?" Guo Chong got out of the car and said casually.
His voice was not small, obviously to Cheng Jizong, who was also looking over: "Some people are anxious to lose, but we have to be much more stable." ”
This was very morale-boosting, and he immediately won a burst of applause from his friends, and looked at the talents over there defiantly: "If you want to lose quickly, we will fulfill you today!" ”
"Hahaha...... Joke. Just you who only play with women's waste? Cheng Jizong and the others also replied loudly, their eyes full of disdain, and their words were even more mean than before.
"It's just that I just won a game by stealing and playing tricks before, and I really thought I had the ability. Let me show you how good we are today! ”
"Then try it! Let's see what tricks you can come up with! Guo Chong said, striding forward.
If you lose, you won't lose, even if you feel that you are not an opponent this time, they will not admit defeat in their mouths.
Sun Ning walked among the crowd, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes looked towards the lush mountains around him from time to time, he must be able to achieve his goal today, right?
