Chapter 655: News from the capital
"Shuang'er, they knew that you were leaving, so they had to pull me to bring them over, I had no choice but to bring them over."
Murong Ye smiled helplessly, holding the two little guys, and the eyes of the two little guys were also red.
"Sister, why didn't you tell us when you left? If it weren't for Brother Murong casually talking about it, we wouldn't know about it. ”
At this time, Jiang Ting and Jiang Fan walked up, and then said with red eyes, they were very reluctant to Yun Xiaoshuang.
After all, everything they have now was given by Yun Xiaoshuang, and Yun Xiaoshuang, who was so in difficulty in Haicheng, only helped them, which was a great kindness.
"My sister doesn't like the feeling of separation, so I didn't tell you, you and Brother Murong study hard, and when my sister comes back from the battle, I will have to check it."
Yun Xiaoshuang squatted down, the two children were indeed too cute, looking at them with a smile, gently rubbing Jiang Ting's little face.
"Sister, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, you must be careful, we are waiting for you to come back, you can't just abandon us."
Jiang Fan seemed to have become a man at this time, and even the tone of his speech was very similar to Murong Ye.
Looking at the cute appearance of the little guy, Yun Xiaoshuang was also infected, and she didn't even have the nervousness before going to the battlefield.
"Don't worry, my sister will definitely come back, and when the time comes, I will take you to the capital to play, and you will also study hard."
"And you are still growing behind your body, don't treat yourself badly, you must supplement your nutrition every day, and you must not skip meals."
Yun Xiaoshuang was like an old mother, babbling to the two children, and Jiang Fan and Jiang Ting also nodded quickly.
In fact, the two of them are very strong children, and ordinary people really don't listen to what they say, and he didn't even snort when Zhou Tian beat Jiang Fan like that before.
But in the face of Yun Xiaoshuang's entrustment, they must listen, for them, Yun Xiaoshuang is their reborn parents, even if Yun Xiaoshuang asks them to cut themselves immediately at this time, they will not snort more.
After chatting for a few more words, Yun Xiaoshuang turned over and followed the army without looking back.
And the two little guys just stood in place and watched, until they couldn't see Yun Xiaoshuang's figure at all, and then they wiped their tears and went back with Murong Ye.
"Don't be sad, she just went to war, it's not that she won't come back, you study hard, and wait for her to come back and surprise her."
Murong Ye comforted the two little guys softly, Jiang Fan and Jiang Ting also nodded firmly, they thought the same way.
And Yun Xiaoshuang, who was following the large army, was also in a somewhat depressed mood at this time, and Jiang Fan and Jiang Ting's cute appearance directly stimulated her mother's brilliance.
"It's almost, it's not that you won't come back, but then again, these two little guys are really in love with you."
When the eighth prince saw her like this, he couldn't help but complain.
"Okay, then let's hurry up, pack up King Hecheng, and then hurry back."
Yun Xiaoshuang reorganized her mood, and then nodded heavily, she had been fighting in the north and south, which made her very tired.
And at this moment, a group of fast horses rushed directly and stopped in front of the large army.
"Who is it? Dare to stop the advance of the large army, don't you want to live? ”
was blocked, the eighth prince was so angry that he hurriedly scolded, and then pulled out the sword at his waist.
"Tell the Eighth Prince, here is a messenger sent by Lord Zhang Ji, this is a letter from Lord Zhang Ji, please check it out for yourself."
The messenger dismounted, fell to his knees, and took an envelope from his bosom.
The eighth prince took it and nodded, then waved his hand, and suddenly a soldier came up and gave the messenger some silver, and told him to go back.
Anyway, the messenger is responsible for delivering the letter, and as for what the letter is, it is not his responsibility, and he just goes back when the letter is delivered.
The eighth prince opened the envelope, took out a piece of paper, glanced at the words on it, and was immediately stunned, and his hands trembled.
Seeing the appearance of the Eighth Prince, Yun Xiaoshuang and Zhao Mocheng were also very surprised, the Eighth Princes have always been moody people, and now that they are excited like this, something big must have happened.
The two hurriedly snatched the letter, and then took a closer look, it didn't matter if they didn't look at it, and they were also excited.
"Is this true?"
Zhao Mocheng's voice trembled a little, you can imagine how shocking the content of this letter was.
"It was sent by Zhang Ji, it should be no problem, in this way, no wonder King Hecheng couldn't help but rebel directly, it turned out that he had already gotten the news."
Yun Xiaoshuang gritted her teeth and said, finally figured out why King Hecheng was in such a hurry to raise troops, it turned out to be like this.
The story recorded on the letter paper was very surprising, and it was news from the capital.
The crown prince has been cured, and it is not a serious illness in itself, but the emperor has fallen ill and cannot afford to be sick directly, and it has been more than three months.
In other words, the Eighth Prince and Zhao Mocheng didn't see the emperor when they sent out their troops, and the emperor was already ill at that time.
And the capital has been suppressing this news, not to mention people in other states and counties, even people in the capital can't know the news.
But King Hecheng must have known the news a long time ago, so he rebelled, because the emperor was already ill at this time, and it would be too late if he didn't raise any more troops.
When the emperor really drove to the west and the crown prince ascended the throne, he would have no chance at all.
"How so? Why did my father suddenly fall ill? ”
The Eighth Prince still didn't dare to believe the news, although he knew that the news was most likely true.
However, from a medical point of view, it is normal to fall ill suddenly, after all, the emperor is already an old man in his sixties, and his physical functions have deteriorated year by year.
Although the emperor is taking supplements and supporting his body every day, no one can stop the destruction of time on people.
When Yun Xiaoshuang saw the emperor before, his face was not very good, and it could be seen from his face that the emperor's body itself was not very good.
And those tonic supplements have always hung on his body and breath, but this is obtained by overdrawing his vitality.
Then he used these supplements to continue to manage every day, and every day he was late at night, and it was strange that he didn't fall ill at his age.
"I don't know what the situation is yet, but King Hecheng must have known the news for a long time, so he rebelled, but I don't know if the emperor can send you over to quell the rebellion."
"Let's hurry up, capture King Hecheng alive and then return to the capital, I want to go to see what the emperor is doing."
Yun Xiaoshuang's face was serious, although she had persuaded the eighth prince to also participate in the incident of seizing the heir, but this was just to survive.
At that time, I thought that the emperor would live a few more years, so this kind of thing can't be rushed.
But now that the emperor is terminally ill, he may drive west at any time, so this kind of thing must be raised as soon as possible.
"Okay, let's hurry up and strive to take Yuzhou within a month and capture King Hecheng alive."
The eighth prince nodded hurriedly, his eyes were red, although he was born in the emperor's family, but the eighth prince's feelings for the emperor were very deep.
When he got the news that the emperor was seriously ill, he was also very uncomfortable, but he was a person who controlled his emotions very well.
It was only a moment of depression, and then he recovered, because he knew that the most important thing was to counterbalance the rebellion at this time.
"By the way, Shuang'er, didn't you say that there is a way to take Wancheng? Can't you reveal it yet? What the hell is the solution? ”
At this time, the eighth prince was suddenly interested in her method, after all, Yun Xiaoshuang did mean that there was a way to take Wancheng before.
"Actually, this method is not difficult, but the premise is that King Hecheng didn't think of this."
"After more than a month of the rainy season, the nearest Huangcheng River in Wancheng is estimated to be full, but the city of Yuzhou is very well built, and the Huangcheng River has its own dam."
"But after we can cross Wumei Mountain, everyone will move to the dam, because the dam is on the mountain, smash the dam, open the gate and release the water, and it will be flooded directly."
"Then we will go down the mountain to fight, if the plan goes well, it is estimated that it will only take one day to take Wancheng."
Yun Xiaoshuang smiled and said her own method lightly, but the method was not difficult.
But the most important thing is to be in front of King Hecheng, if he sends someone to guard the dam, he will not be able to do it at all.
"But this premise is that King Hecheng can't think of this, otherwise we will only expose the location when we go to the dam."
Zhao Mocheng's eyes were vicious, just listening to her say this, he could point out the shortcomings, and the eighth prince also nodded quickly.
Yun Xiaoshuang naturally knew this truth, this method was what she thought, of course she thought of the advantages and disadvantages, but this is the best way at present.
"As far as I know, according to the recent investigation, King Hecheng has been cowering in Yuzhou because he is afraid of the threat from the surrounding states and counties."
"Yuzhou is a place of four battles, and King Hecheng naturally knows that he can't defend it for a long time, and when our army arrives, he will definitely besiege him."
"So his wishful thinking must be to push us back before we besiege us, and the greatest possibility is to set up an ambush halfway."
Yun Xiaoshuang took the map and began to explain, although he didn't know why King Hecheng had been guarding Yuzhou and what he was calculating, but now he could only guess.
"But the best route to attack Yuzhou is Yanggu Pass, but we found another way, instead of going to Yanggu Pass to fight Liaoxi, but to cross Wumei Mountain to fight Wancheng."
"Soldiers, treacherous ways, can only be caught off guard by surprise, so he probably didn't expect that we would go to the dam to open the gate and release water."
"Of course, this is also a gamble, if the bet wins, everyone is happy, but if the bet loses, we don't have anything, just find a way to beat Wanchengbei, this is the best way at present."
Yun Xiaoshuang said lightly, originally fighting a war is mostly a matter of luck, if it succeeds this time, then Yuzhou is at your fingertips, and it is definitely worth a try.
