A pair of slender hands lifted the brocade curtain, and Mrs. Qi lowered the car to help her son. Although the son in front of him is still only an immature boy of eleven or twelve years old, he has been trained repeatedly in the past few years, and he has not lost the majesty and stability of the monarch between his eyebrows, and there is also the killing and decisive air of a person in the army. It seems that half of my life's hard work has not been in vain!

The matter was urgent, and Mrs. Qi had no time to greet her beloved son, and asked directly: "Your brother and uncle escaped from the south gate, do you know?" ”

Wei He's expression was not surprised, he nodded: "My son knows that he has been defeated and has no power to return to heaven." Let him go! ”

"Confused!" Mrs. Qi raised her eyebrows: "When he ambushed you on the slippery ground, did he ever think of the slightest brotherhood?" He'er, the power struggle is only for you to live and die, where does the warmth come from? After all, he has sued the temple, and he has been on the throne for many years, as long as he lives for one day, you will not be able to live in peace on the throne for a day. ”

Seeing Wei He's expression move, knowing that he meant something, Mrs. Qi paused and said: "He'er, think about it in turn, if it is us who loses today, will he Wei Yu leave a way for our mother and son to live?" ”

"What the mother said is that it is indeed the son who is not thoughtful." Wei He hurriedly kowtowed: "Son, let's call Brother Kui and lead the men and horses to chase after him." ”

"Wait!" Mrs. Qi grabbed her son and asked in a low voice: "There are three gates, why did Wei Yu choose the south gate?" Uncle is kind-hearted, thinking of the brotherly love with your father, coupled with his two brothers begging bitterly, how can he kill him Wei Yu? There must have been someone to guide them, so they chose the south gate to escape. ”

"Mother, what do you want to say?" Wei He was a little puzzled: "Can't you believe Brother Kui?" ”

"He'er," Mrs. Qi stopped talking a little: "I'm worried about his relationship with Na Weiyu------"

Wei He was relieved: "I understand what my mother means. The people of Chaoge all said that Brother Kui was the illegitimate son of my brother and uncle, but since he was under my command, he was born and died in the past few years, and most of everything in my Wei and now is beaten down by Brother Kui. I believe in Him! ”

After speaking, he jumped on his horse and shouted: "Herald, pass General Kui out of the city with me!" ”

"He'er!" Mrs. Qi grabbed Wei He's reins: "Wei Niang has sent Gongsun Yu to lead 300 people out of the south gate to pursue, he will leave marks along the road, you follow the trail to chase, and meet him!" ”

"It turns out that the mother has made arrangements, and the son will go!"

More than 200 men and more than 200 horses ran for nearly two hours, and the sky was bright. Seeing that it was nearly a hundred miles away from Chaoge, the group was sleepy and tired, hungry and thirsty, and saw a small river meandering by the roadside, and there was a clearing by the river, so everyone refused to leave. Everyone begged Wei Bo to rest and then go, don't tire the horse, there are still hundreds of miles to Puyang, if the horse falls, there is no change.

Gongzi Yuan is also listless, he has lived a life of a son-in-law brother who has been stretched out in clothes and open his mouth for food since he was a child, how could he have suffered so much? Wei Boyu saw that this group of pampered guards on weekdays looked so embarrassed, and he couldn't bear it, and sighed helplessly: "Rest here, eat something, drink a horse, and after half an hour, let's continue to hurry." ”

When they heard this, the crowd was overjoyed, and those who drank horses and gathered firewood were busy without stopping.

The silent riverside suddenly comes alive, with milky white smoke rising from more than a dozen bonfires, and the mouth-watering aroma of grilled fish and millet porridge. Suddenly, the soldiers on duty at the crossing hurried and shouted, "Your Majesty, my son, smoke and dust are rising from the north, and it seems that soldiers and horses are coming this way!" ”

Wei Boyu reacted first, he kicked over the iron pot that was rolling the millet porridge: "Quick, kick the pot over and extinguish the fire." This fireworks will lure the pursuers! ”

There was a "clanging" sound, more than a dozen bonfires were extinguished in an instant, and the breakfast that was almost to the mouth was also soaked in soup. Gongzi turned over and got on his horse, drew his sword and shouted, "Sons, get on the horse!" ”

Wei Boyu roared: "Brother Yuan! The chasing soldiers are approaching, Puyang is afraid that he will not be able to go, it is better to occupy a hidden high place, defend the danger, or escape! ”

Ji Yuan looked around, and there was a hill on the other side of the river that was not too high, which seemed very abrupt in this plain. Then he pointed there: "Let's get on the horse, this river is not deep, wade through the water, occupy that hill, how about it?" ”

"Okay, that's it!"

The horses' hooves were numerous, and the blue waves of the river were trampled into broken jade, splashing everywhere.

Just now, Wei Boyu felt that this small hill was a little familiar. When I crossed the river and looked at it carefully, I couldn't help but exclaim: Shi Ye! Fate! This hill turned out to be the Hou Hou Hill, that is, the tomb of his father, the Marquis of Wei.

At the beginning, his father Wei Jiaohou was buried here. In ancient times, whether the Son of Heaven or the monarch, the new monarch still used the Yuan name of the first monarch in the year after his accession to the throne, and he could only change the Yuan after the first day of the second year, and officially sue the temple for the throne. On the ceremony, he should officially hold a "soil sealing ceremony" for his father's tomb after the temple was changed, that is, to seal the tomb. However, after he changed the Yuan to the throne, he was in time for the great funeral of King Zhou, and he rushed to Hojing. After coming back, one thing after another, and even the father's "sealing ceremony" was not held. This matter was also publicized everywhere by Mrs. Tai as a handle.

Now, he was defeated and fled, and he was desperate and came to this Houhou Hill by ghost, isn't it fate?

He solemnly bowed to the chief and said: "My father is above, and the unfilial son Yu was plotted by his mother and younger brother and fell to this. I hope that my father Hou Yingling is on top, and he will protect Yu from this catastrophe, and his son will definitely reform and be a new person in the future! ”

Gongsun Yu was lightly dressed and simple, galloping on his horse, but he was still one step too late. When he waded across the small river, he only saw the back of Wei Boyu and his party climbing the Houhou Hill, which vaguely seemed to be one or two hundred people. Suddenly angry, he pointed to the top of the hill and scolded: "If you are not filial and rebellious, you think that if you hide on the tomb of the ancestors, I can't help you?" Come on, set fire to the mountain! ”

"General, no!" The general beside him persuaded: "After all, this is the tomb of the ancestors, if you set fire to the mountain, this ------ you will be fine, and the son will have to bear a lifetime of infamy!" Besides, the oil we brought with us was all burned out of torches on the road. ”

"He's right, General Gongsun has to think twice!" A loud and deep male voice was heard in the distance. Gongsun Yu raised his eyes on the horse, and saw a team of more than ten horsemen coming from the north, led by a person with a dark complexion and blazing eyes, who is it not Rongyi?

From the bottom of his heart, Gongsun Yu is very unaccustomed to Rong Yi. Not only because since he came, he has taken away the trust of Mrs. Lady Yi to herself; It is even more because this person is scheming, unpredictable, and daunting. But he was strategizing in the matter of bringing down Wei Boyu, and he won the trust of Mrs. Tai, so he had to be false and wronged with him.

Gongsun Yu forcibly endured the disgust in his heart, stepped forward and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Rongyi!" If you don't help Mrs. Tai and Gongzi stabilize the overall situation in the city, why are you here? We're all gone, who will protect Mrs. Tai and Gongzi? ”

Rong Yi seemed to be accustomed to this kind of hidden and looming contempt, and although he was on the horse, he immediately returned the salute: "I heard that when Wei Yu escaped, there were still more than 200 light horsemen around him, Mrs. Tai couldn't rest assured, and she was specially ordered to come down to help." Oh, by the way, Childe and the army will be here later. ”

"Oh! I see. Hearing that Gongzi He was coming, Gongsun Yu restrained himself a little and asked, "Mr. Shicai said that you can't set fire to the mountain, I don't know why?" ”

Rong Yi smiled faintly: "Your subordinates have already talked about the first two reasons. There is another reason, there are only 300 light horsemen around the general, and the number is only slightly more than Wei Yu's men. If they set fire to the mountain, they jumped over the wall in a hurry, and saw a hole to break through with all their might, and the general was unstoppable. At that time, won't we just watch them escape? ”

"However, if this is not the case, if they still break through with all their might, the three hundred people in my hands will still not be able to take care of their heads. So what? Although he felt that the other party was reasonable, Gongsun Yu still wanted to embarrass him.

"It's not hard. Although there are not many people of 300 people, it is not difficult to surround the land of the Marquis Hill. Ask the general to spread out his light cavalry and surround this hill. In addition, Rong Yi turned to the general: "Please take the little general with his men to light the remaining fire oil with arrows, and shoot it out on the mound from time to time." In this way, they are busy fighting fires, where do they have the heart to think of breaking through? Wait for a while, wait for the arrival of the Gongzi's army, take this mound in one fell swoop, and capture the Yu brothers! ”

No matter how unconvinced Gongsun Yu was, he had to admit that it was a good idea, and he turned to the general: "Don't you follow Mr.'s plan?" ”

"No!"

It was said that it was a moment, but when Gongzi and nearly 10,000 horses arrived at Houqiu, it was almost noon. Gongsun Yuwang saw that his neck was sore, and the oil was used up, so he saw the huge pennant embroidered with the word "and" from a distance.

As soon as they met, Gongsun Yu proposed to set fire to the mountain, but Gongzihe frowned and categorically refused: "This is the tomb of the ancestors, and my father sleeps here, as a son of man, how can he disturb the peace underground?" ”

"But, otherwise, what should they do if they are condescending and don't come out?" Gongsun Yu asked eagerly.

"Easy to do!" Kui Duoyou replied loudly: "Just use a dense array of arrows to force them out." ”

"What if they just won't come down!" Rong Yi asked in a long voice.

"Then become a hedgehog!" Kui Duoyou understood that because of Wei Boyu's escape, Mrs. Yi had begun to doubt herself. Anyway, he has already let Wei Yu go, so he repaid his little love, and then each is his master, and no one owes anyone. Having made up his mind, he shouted: "Sons, line up the arrow array!" ”

Tens of thousands of iron horsemen listened to his order, and quickly fanned the three layers of the Houqiu and the outer three layers in a dense circle, not to mention people, even a fly could not fly out.
