Chapter 143: From now on, the king will not be early

Most women in this era, but very few people will act like Cai Wenji and don't care about the rules.

Especially when she is still from a scholarly family, she is even more rebellious.

However, her dancing is really beautiful.

Not an inch is revealed, but the softness of the woman is vividly displayed.

"The spring night is bitter and the day is short, and the king will not be early from now on, haha, sometimes the king can't be blamed." Liu Wei was fascinated and couldn't help but say.

One Cai Wenji let him spend two spring outings on the night of the spring outing, if there are a few more, I am afraid it will be really difficult for him to focus on dealing with state affairs.

"From now on, the king will not ...... early" Cai Wenji, who was concentrating on dancing, silently remembered these two poems in her heart, and the whole person seemed to be soaked in a honey pot, and even the air had a sweet taste.

To describe the beauty of a woman, the king should have reached the extreme from now on.

Liu Wei opened his mouth and came, which made Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong can't help but look sideways.

Zheng Xuan agreed with and was shocked by the emperor's way of governing the country, but he never had any expectations for the emperor's talent.

After all, this is only a fifteen-year-old child, and even if he has a strong mind, the books he can read are definitely limited.

But I didn't expect that on the whim of the emperor, when he opened his mouth, it was a poetry full of artistic conception and mellow poetry that made people feel more and more mellow the more they thought about it.

"Your Majesty, there should be a trail behind the poem you just recited, right?" Zheng Xuan asked.

Listening to a poem is as uncomfortable as listening to someone who has stopped speaking for half and has lost the following sentence.

Liu Wei shook his head, "No, I came casually, I didn't think about the rest of it, and I didn't bother to think about it." ”

In such a situation, it is unprecedented for Liu Wei to remember these two sentences.

How could he possibly remember the whole poem!

"Your Majesty, if you think about it again, it's just two sentences, which are uncomfortable to listen to." Zheng Xuan said eagerly.

What the emperor said made him remember that he almost wanted to beat his thigh.

How can such a good poem have only two lines?!

"I'm too lazy to think about it, you two are great Confucians, why don't you help me fill in the back." Liu Wei said casually that it was impossible for him to think of it again, although it seemed that he had memorized this poem before.

But it's one thing to memorize, and whether you can remember it or not is another thing.

Zheng Xuan clenched his fist on his thigh, and the whole person was scratching his heart and lungs.

How can there be only two sentences?

The spring night is bitter and the day is short, and the king will not be early from now on, what a good poem!

Because of these two sentences, Zheng Xuan's state of mind that had been cultivated for a long time in this beautiful environment was instantly shattered.

……

声名鹊起,俨然已是关东领头羊的袁绍,在得知他的叔父不但死里逃生,还顺带把陈留王从宫里请了出来之后,立马派人知会东郡太守桥瑁,派兵接应。

At the same time, he also sent his subordinate confidant general Yan Liang to personally lead the army out of Jizhou to respond.

Yuan Shao was full of ambition, he felt that he must win this time.

With the chess piece of King Chen Liuwang in his hand, it doesn't matter whether Liu Yu agrees to be the emperor or not.

Compared with Liu Yu or the prince Chen Liuwangxie, who the first emperor has always been interested in, it is more important.

And it's easier to control!

Although Liu Yu doesn't have much ability, if he wants to control this person, he still needs to work a little harder.

Yuan Shao, who was excited in his heart, immediately sent his advisers Gao Gan and Xun Chen to persuade Han Fu to give up Jizhou Mu while the iron was hot, and he would take over.

After escaping from Luoyang, he experienced countless uneasiness and hesitation.

In this midsummer season, Yuan Shao felt that he had finally ushered in his own spring.

Everything is starting to work in a good direction.

……

Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao can be regarded as one of Yuan Shao's most solid supporters.

Falsely spread the text and spread it to the world, it was his idea to Yuan Shao, and he did it.

After receiving Yuan Shao's order, Qiao Mao did not hesitate at all, and immediately ordered his troops and horses to prepare to respond.

But before he could lead the army to set off, he received a report from Tanma first, and a line of soldiers and horses suddenly entered Dongjun.

Qiao Mao, who was a little uneasy by the recent behavior of the imperial court, immediately put aside the matter of receiving it for a while after hesitating, and instead sent people to investigate the movements of this strange soldier and horse first.

He was a little worried that the court was coming to attack him.

If it is really a soldier of the imperial court, he needs to be cautious, otherwise it is very likely that he has just left on the front foot, and his home will be gone.

Dongjun is located above Chenliu, sandwiched between Shangdang and Jibei County.

When the imperial court was fighting vigorously around here, Qiao Mao was worried all day long.

After learning that Chen Liu, Shanyang had lost successively, and Liu Dai, Wang Kuang, Zhang Miao and others were all defeated, Qiao Mao did not say a word, abandoned almost all the land in Dongjun, and concentrated all his troops in Baima, which was adjacent to Chaoge, and led Dongjun from afar.

Two days after he left, he brought back news to Qiao Mao that made him feel very desperate.

The real court soldiers and horses are coming.

But the strange thing is that they did not attack the city or plunder the land, but swaggered straight towards the white horse.

Qiao Mao said to Yan Nong, who was engaged in the account: "It seems that the imperial court has already figured out the situation in Dongjun, and this is going straight to kill me, what can I do now?" Do you want me to give up Dongjun to someone like this? ”

Yan Nong said: "Fujun, it is only a matter of time before we leave Dongjun, and the imperial court soldiers and horses have not yet taken action against Dongjun, just because they have not yet freed their hands. The battle of Taishan County caused the imperial generals to fall into Dongyang City, forcing the emperor to change his plan and send several troops to rescue Cao Hong. ”

"Otherwise, I feel that the imperial court should have already taken action against Dongjun. The imperial court divided its troops into several routes and captured Jibei, Taishan, Lu, Pei and other countries, and there was no reason to keep Dongjun here. ”

"However, the reason why the imperial court has kept Dongjun until now, in addition to not being able to free up his hand, I think the other most likely thing is that Dongjun is adjacent to Shangdang, and the left and right are full of thieves, Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Baibo are entrenched, and the imperial court wants to use us as a barrier."

"I heard that the imperial court is fighting and cultivating fields, so they don't want the hard-earned fields to be given to Huohuo by thieves."

The two of them had actually discussed this matter a long time ago.

Qiao Mao sighed, "How can I not understand these truths? I just don't want to send someone under the fence. ”

Yan Nong persuaded: "The prince should have made a decision a long time ago, this is a last resort. The joint efforts of Liu Dai and Wang Kuang failed to block the offensive of the imperial court's soldiers and horses, and we are alone here, and it is impossible for us to be the opponent of the imperial court. ”

"Yuan Benchu is fighting in Jizhou at the moment, and there is no chance to help. Our best choice now is to accept King Chen Liu, which is our way forward, and it is also a way out. ”

Compared with Qiao Mao's indecisiveness, engaging in Yan Nong is more like being sober in the world.

Qiao Mao's face was solemn when he heard this, "It's true that there is no more choice, withdraw, and answer King Chen Liu." ”

"Whoa!"

Qiao Mao had already put his soldiers and horses in order, and after he had made up his mind, the army immediately set out.

The north went out of Dongjun and entered the territory of Shangdang.

But after they had been walking for four days, a horse came in a hurry.

"Qiqi Mansion King, there are soldiers and horses following behind us, less than thirty miles away. Judging by the flags they had, they should be soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and it seems that they had entered Dongjun earlier. ”

Hearing the news, Qiao Mao, who was already depressed, caught the scout and was a whipping.

"Should, like? As a probe horse, is this how you listen to the news for your own officials? ”

"Such specious news, you brought it to me, do you want me to discern it myself?!"

Qiao Mao scolded while beating, and the two scouts who hit him were peeled open before stopping.

If it weren't for Yan Nong's persuasion, the two scouts might have been killed by Qiao Mao.

"Prince, our marching speed is not comparable to that of the imperial court, if we can't seek protection, I'm afraid we will have to fight." Yan Nong said with a somewhat solemn expression.

He roughly calculated that the marching speed of this imperial army was almost twice as fast as theirs.

While they were still in the middle of East County, they had already set off.

It had only been four days, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court had already shortened the gap between the two sides to just thirty miles.

Thirty miles away, the cavalry had already charged.

"Let's take Asaka City as a foothold for the time being." Qiao Mao threw the whip on the ground with his hand, and said with some weakness.

He knew very well that he was burdened by himself.

But he couldn't control himself from thinking like that.

When the imperial court attacked Chen Liu, he could have sent troops and horses to help, but he hesitated and did not send it.

Following the defeat of Zhang Miao, Chen Liufu returned to the imperial court.

The same was true of the later two counties of Shanyang and Taishan.

He was always hesitant and missed the best opportunity.

Now, with the gradual defeat of his allies, this emotion is like a dirt piling up in his heart, leaving him physically and mentally exhausted.

"Report!"

"Qiqi Mansion King, the enemy army is coming!"

A cloud of dust and smoke billowed in, and immediately the knight rolled to the ground in embarrassment, and shouted eagerly at Qiaomao.

Qiao Mao brushed aside the scout and walked quickly towards the gate.

I saw that among the low rolling mountains, a cavalry slowly appeared on the ridge.

The distance between the two sides was so close that Qiao Mao could even see the luster emanating from the soldiers' pitch-black armor.

He counted roughly and there were three or four thousand cavalry.

This amount instantly made Qiao Mao's heart cold.

他麾下骑兵,即便是把那些拉粮食的驽马都拉起来凑数,也许才勉强能凑出来千人。

"Please give the order to dig deep traps, put more horses away, and sprinkle thistles all over the place." Yan Nong shouted eagerly.

He couldn't figure out how his lord general still had the leisure to be in a daze here at this time.

It was clear that the enemy was already watching the camp and preparing to attack.

"Oh, yes, yes." Qiao Mao seemed to be sleepwalking, came back to his senses in a trance, and hurriedly dispatched troops to prepare for the imperial guard.

On the low, rolling ridge, Xiahou Yuan enjoyed unloading his little horse from his horse, holding a wine gourd in his hand, drinking it while observing the enemy's camp.

There was no good appetizer, so he picked a few dandelions at his feet and put them in his hand to pinch the bar as an appetizer to accompany the wine.

Although there is marinated jerky in the bosom, this kind of thing is too luxurious.

He didn't want to eat it until he had to.

Xiahou Yuan himself was like this, and so were the orders he gave to the soldiers.

Cao Hong's experience is a lesson for him, and he doesn't want to go through it again.

"General, it seems like they're just starting to dig the pit now." On the side, Captain Zhuang Yuan said with an inexplicable expression.

It was the first time he had seen a pit dug under the eyelids of an enemy army.

So what's the use of trapping? He really didn't know.

Xiahou Yuan said with a smile, "It's okay, leave an ambush in the east, and bring all the other soldiers and horses up, and we'll watch them dig a pit below." ”

"Whoa!"

When the brigade of soldiers and horses was mobilized, a very bizarre scene appeared in this low-lying land surrounded by hills.

The mountain was full of dense soldiers, watching the soldiers in the camp below busily digging pits and rejecting horses.

It was an incredible scene.

Even when the story is told, I'm afraid there are not many people who believe it.

Yan Nong looked at the overwhelming imperial army on the ridge, and felt that it was a little difficult to breathe.

The word surrender kept going back and forth in the throat like sour water.

Faced with this situation, it was not only him who was afraid in his heart, but also a large number of sergeants.

If it weren't for Qiao Mao personally leading the personal guard overseers, there would have been a camp roar a long time ago.

But in the face of the silent deterrence of the imperial army, it is now difficult to stabilize the soldiers just by killing people.

Yan Nong thought about it again and again, but still found Qiao Mao.

He wanted to say again and again: "Fujun, this battle ...... I'm afraid we don't have the possibility of winning, so it's better to descend early. ”

"Drop?" Qiao Mao's expression suddenly became extremely fierce, he stared at Yan Nong viciously, and shouted, "Those inscriptions were written by your own hands, don't you know what kind of crime the two of us have committed?" ”

Yan Nong's face was bitter, those inscriptions were all written by him, how could he not know.

That's the sin of the Nine Clans.

"Despicable means deceitful!" Yan Nong quickly changed his words and said.

"How do you surrender?" Qiao Maohu asked.

Yan Nong pointed to the imperial army lined up in two lines on the ridges on both sides, and said: "The imperial court soldiers are strong and strong, not to mention their per capita iron armor, just those cavalry, once they rush to the camp, my army will probably lose its combat power in an instant and become fish on the chopping board." ”

"In that case, it's better to simply surrender. Wait for the enemy to relax, and then strike back. ”

Qiao Mao hesitated, "Are you sure?" ”

Yan Nong shook his head, "Fu Jun, the lowly position is not very sure, but compared to the head-to-head battle, the lowly position feels that the odds of such a victory may be slightly higher." I just looked carefully and looked at it, and it is really difficult for our army to have a chance of winning. ”

"The only possibility is that maybe we can escape with a small number of troops."

Qiao Mao didn't think about winning this battle at all, looking at the strict army of the imperial court, and then looking at himself.

He knew there was no chance of victory.

What's more, when they first started, they only used this place as a temporary place to stay, and they didn't think about fighting at all, and even the pit was now dug under the noses of the enemy, how could they have a chance of winning.

He's doing this now just to make it a little smoother when he runs.

"If we can successfully take advantage of the night to create a camp roar, our army will take the opportunity to fight back, and maybe, there will be some chance of victory." Yan Nong persuaded again, in fact, he already had some other plans in his heart.

It's all come to this point, and everyone is trying to save their own lives.

Qiao Mao hated his indecision, and this time he felt that he could take a gamble, so he forced himself not to hesitate too much, and said directly: "You personally go to the front of the enemy army, meet the enemy's commander, and talk about surrender." ”

After speaking, Yan Nong, who spoke earnestly, said: "Bozheng, I will entrust you with my life. ”

Yan Nong nodded heavily with a serious expression, "Don't worry, I will definitely do everything I can to protect ourselves and try to win this battle again." If this battle can be won, the prince of the palace can also look at him proudly in front of Yuan Benchu, and with the armor and war horses of this imperial court, we can also form a strong army. ”

"At that time, no one will be able to shake the position of the prince!"

Qiao Mao's face was suddenly full of joy when she heard this, "In this way, it's really worth the gamble!" ”

The benefits of winning this battle seem to be very large.

"Fujun, I'm going." Yan Nong said in a deep voice.

With a strong look of anticipation, Qiao Mao put his hand on Yan Nong's shoulder and said, "Go, if this battle can be won." If you have a bite of meat to eat with my bridge, you won't be short of a mouthful of soup to drink, no, let's eat meat together. ”

Yan Nong smiled and bowed his head slightly.

He climbed the hill alone, no more than three or four miles from the camp, without any of his retinue.

"Humble Yan Nong to meet the general."

Without anyone stopping him, Yan Nong walked in front of Xiahou Yuan very smoothly.

"Don't move yet." Xiahoudun suddenly shouted, pointed to the bright dandelions blooming not far from Yan Nong's feet, and said, "Pluck those dandelions for me!" ”

Yan Nong was a little confused.

But he obediently complied, bending down and pulling out the dandelion not far away with his fingers.

Zhuang Yuan, the captain beside Xiahou Yuan, took two steps, took the dandelion from Yan Nong's hand and handed it to Xiahou Yuan.

"There's no need to be so careful." Xiahou Yuan said to Zhuang Yuan with a smile, "They are all masters who pin their heads to their waists and fight for their lives, so why be afraid of him as a scribe." ”

"General, Your Majesty has often warned us that we must not despise any enemy at any time. In enemy territory, even if the other party is a child, we need to make sure that he does not carry a murder weapon that can kill people, and then properly let down our guard. Manor straightened his back and said.

Xiahou Yuan shook his head helplessly, "I don't know where Your Majesty got so much truth from." ”

Since leading the army, Xiahou Yuan has been taught countless times by the captains under his command.

These soldiers who came out of the West Garden were all so cautious that they were outrageous.

He sprinkled a little coarse salt on the dandelion, then kneaded it into a ball with his hands, and gestured to Yan Nong, who was being searched by the soldiers, and asked, "Do you want to eat?" The taste is quite good, very delicious. ”

"The general invites himself." Yan Nong shook his head and said, "This thing clears heat and detoxifies, diuretics and dissolves condensations, it is a very good thing. ”

Xiahou Yuan smiled and said: "I didn't know that this thing could be eaten, but the last time I met them at the Sunset Inn, they made these things into cold dishes, and the price was quite high, only to find out that this thing is indeed a good thing." ”
