Volume 1 The Heaven in the Pot Chapter 74 Fiction and Reality
"The general came to see me, but because of the prince?"
"Prince? What prince? Yu Wenhu pretended to be surprised.
"Hehe, why should the general pretend to be confused."
Ruo Ling pointed at Dugu Shao: "Shao'er just came out of Youzhou, and the little girl is still in Youzhou, what happened in Youzhou City, we know very well." ”
Yu Wenhu still looked surprised, and looked at a few people fixedly.
Ruo Ling frowned, and said secretly in his heart: "Could it be that Yuwen Hu really doesn't know?" He asked, "Forgive me for daring to ask, what is the military order that the general received when he came to Youzhou?" ”
"The old lady's order is for me to arrest the Jiuqu rebel hiding in Youzhou, and there is no mention of the prince, if the head of the family comes to the prince?"
Ruo Ling and Dugu Shao glanced at each other, and Ruo Ling said: "In this case, speak in the general's tent, please!" ”
Yuwen Hu followed behind Ruo Ling, his rough face, and a pair of eyes revealing shrewdness.
As a veteran who has followed the emperor for many years, Yu Wenhu has always given others a simple and honest impression, but in fact, Yu Wenhu's mind is quite meticulous, he doesn't know the inside story of this expedition, and he still heard about the prince from Bai Shixiang a few days ago. But when he learned about this, he instantly thought of a lot, he thought of a lot of things buried behind this matter, he smelled some abnormal breath, and he firmly believed that the battle of Youzhou would never be as simple as it seemed on the surface.
Prince, Jiuqu, Youzhou, Shijia, Emperor, Dongdaying, Beidaying......
Many entanglements of interests, many conflicts of forces, Yuwen Hu concluded in his heart, those old guys back then would not let go of this opportunity, now on the surface it seems that Youzhou is a battlefield, but in fact, Youzhou has become a dead end of the competition between various forces, people like himself are involved, and if they are not careful, they will become victims of the struggle of various forces hidden behind the scenes, so Yuwen Hu decided to remove himself from this matter as much as possible.
Ruo Ling, who was walking in front of Yuwen Hu, also had a sharp turn in his heart at this time: "Yu Wenhu doesn't know about the prince, so isn't it?" Ruo Ling's heart was hot.
A few people walked into the tent and sat down, Ruo Ling Ping retreated left and right, and said to Yuwen Hu in a deep voice: "General Yuwen, to make a long story short, my Dongda Camp received the news that the rebels of the previous dynasty broke through from Jiuqu into Youzhou a long time ago. ”
Yu Wenhu listened carefully, and knew in his heart: "Dongdaying knew the news in advance? Sure enough, someone is playing a game! ”
Ruo Ling continued: "I didn't expect this news to be true, that Meng Feng, the capital of Youzhou Prefecture, not only secretly hid Jiuqu rebellion, but also killed Lord Yuyao, the court's servant of the Ministry of Rites, but Meng Feng didn't know that this matter was clearly seen by Bai Jingxiao on the side. ”
"Bai Jingxiao?! Didn't he go out behind closed doors? Yu Wenhu was surprised.
"If Shao'er hadn't told me in person, I wouldn't have believed it, but it was precisely because of Baijingxiao that Shao'er was spared a catastrophe."
"Huh? Then Meng Feng still wants to attack General Shao? Is he determined to rebel? Yu Wenhu turned his head and asked.
Dugu Shao replied: "The general doesn't know, and I came to Youzhou with a personal soldier of my father, he and the old man Bai were at the scene where Lord Yuyao was killed, the old man escaped from the hundred, but he was captured by Youzhou, and the old man Bai didn't know where to learn my identity, he took me away from Youzhou as soon as possible." Dugu Shao recalled the scene at that time, and he still can't believe that the Taoist who told his fortune turned out to be the ancestor of the hundred families who were shocked back then.
Yu Wenhu nodded: "General Shao is a celestial person, and he really has a destiny." ”
The speaker seemed to be unintentional, but the listener was intentional, Ruo Ling's heart jumped, and he took a deep look at Yu Wenhu.
Yuwen Hu noticed Ruo Ling's gaze and asked suspiciously, "There's no matter about the prince here?" ”
Dugu Shao explained: "The matter of the prince is also what the old man Bai said, he said that the prince may be in Youzhou City, so my father has sent someone to the imperial capital to verify the whereabouts of His Royal Highness the prince." ”
"That?"
"Our people haven't come back yet." Ruoling replied, "I originally thought that the general knew some information, so I asked the general about the prince, but I didn't know anything about it. ”
Yu Wenhu shook his head: "Of course, this kind of big thing is that the fewer people who know about it, the better, I don't have your information, and it's normal not to know." ”
Ruoling asked, "What does General Yuwen mean by being here?" ”
Yu Wenhu shook his head and said: "Alas, you also know that Youzhou is catching up with the grand event of the Wenhui, and the hundred families naturally refuse to miss it. ”
Dugu Shao remembered some unpleasant things that happened in the drunken seclusion, and his face was a little unnatural: "The general is afraid that when I wait for the siege of the city, Jiuqu's rebellion will kill the hundred sons in the city?" ”
Ruo Ling sighed and said: "General Yuwen, it's not that we are ruthless, there are more than 100 families in the city now, as far as I know, the heads of the Yang, Chang, and Liu families are also in it now, you also know the temper of the saint, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really in the city, it will be easy to do, if you know that His Royal Highness the Prince is not in the city, then the general's palace will definitely be issued immediately." ”
Yu Wenhu smiled bitterly: "Now there are more than three family heads in Youzhou. ”
"What do you mean?" Ruo Ling asked intently.
"Bai Shixiang is anxious, and he has already mixed in before Youzhou City was closed." Thinking of Bai Shixiang's character and character, Yu Wenhu guessed, and estimated that Bai Shixiang was now standing in front of those Jiuqu rebels.
If Yu Wenhu learned that Bai Shixiang not only stood in front of Xue Mu and the others, but also made allies with them, he didn't know what his expression was.
Ruo Ling's face did not change much, but his heart was worried, Bai Shixiang's entry into the city made him suddenly difficult, and he knew that his original plan was also going to be shelved.
Dugu Jing sent Ruoling to lead the troops this time, and let him take rescuing the prince as his top priority, but Ruoling had his own calculations in his heart.
Rescue the Prince?
Of course not!
Ruoling not only didn't want to rescue the prince, but he also wanted to borrow Jiuqu's rebellious hand to kill Duguyun!
As long as Dugu Yun dies, the heir of the saint Dugu Qi will fall into the hands of others, in terms of peers, Dugu Jing, as the elder brother of the Dugu family, is stronger than the other two in terms of talent and martial arts or prestige in the court, and in the next generation, there are only three people with the surname Dugu, namely his nephew Dugu Shao, and the two children of Dugu Ling in Nandaying, Dugu Yu and Dugu Yi.
Dugu Yu is frail and sickly, he is not a long-lived person at first glance, for the long-term peace and stability of the empire, Dugu Qi will never choose, and Dugu Yi does not have to think about it, he has disabled legs at a young age, and his IQ is also worrying, so Dugu Qi's only choice is to make his nephew Dugu Shao the crown prince.
When entering the camp, Ruo Ling heard that Yu Wenhu didn't know about the prince, so he wanted to attack Youzhou with the discussion to achieve the purpose of killing people with a knife, but if Bai Shixiang also entered Youzhou, Ruo Ling would not dare.
Bai Zihuan is in Bai Jingxiao's heart, whether it is emotionally or from the ability is far less important than Bai Shixiang, his own side has no scruples to attack the city, if Bai Zihuan dies because of this, Bai Jingxiao will be angry, but if Bai Shixiang and Bai Zihuan are dead, then Bai Jingxiao will go crazy, with Bai Jingxiao's means, let the people of Jiuqu accompany the funeral, needless to say, he reacted afterwards, it is not difficult to guess his intentions, when the time comes, in addition to his own initiator, maybe Dugu Shao will be killed by him, that Bai Jingxiao does not care whether you are a royal child or not.
Ruo Ling thought for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Judging from the current situation, can the general have a good plan?" ”
Yu Wenhu thought about Bai Shixiang's words at that time, and replied: "I mean to besiege but not attack, and wait for orders." ”
Ruo Ling was stunned and said, "That's the only way." ”
Yu Wenhu looked at Ruo Ling's expression thoughtfully, and then he remembered something and asked, "How many people are coming from the East Camp this time?" ”
"Twenty thousand."
"Twenty thousand?"
Yu Wenhu jumped up, and said in an excited voice: "You only brought 20,000 people? He thought the same as Qiao Qi and others, how to say that Dongda Camp also had to bring about 40,000 people, although Youzhou City is an old city, but it is too difficult for 20,000 people to successfully capture Youzhou, you must know that in addition to the original defenders in this city, there are also soldiers of the former dynasty of Jiuqu.
"Of the 20,000 people, there are 5,000 light cavalry, and only about 10,000 people can participate in the siege."
"What is Dugujing going to do?" Yu Wenhu was puzzled.
Ruo Ling looked at Yu Wenhu's puzzled look and sighed, "These 20,000 people are already all the troops that the Eastern Battalion can come up with. ”
Yuwen Hu was stunned, and then hesitated: "Could it be that something happened to Dongyi?" ”
Ruo Ling nodded and said: "The general doesn't know, many tribes of the Yi tribe have always disobeyed my Ruo's discipline, and every year they have to make a fuss, half a month ago, the two major tribes of Chuqiu and Chemen gathered dozens of small tribes to raid all parts of Yizhou, and now the main force of the Eastern Battalion has chased them into the mountains and forests. ”
"This ......"
Yuwen Hu has a headache, the troops in Beifu are not much, and now the men and horses sent to surround the border of Youzhou are the limit, and the main force to attack Youzhou can only be the East Battalion, but the East Camp is really not enough to see.
"General rest assured, in my opinion, these men and horses are more than enough to attack the city, and the general forgot that it is not only my Dongda Camp who came to Youzhou." Ruo Ling smiled slightly.
Yuwen Hu knew that what Ruoling was talking about was the Beida Battalion, but from the time Jiuqu's people broke through the defense line of the Beida Battalion, could the Beida Battalion still be trusted?
......
Seeing Yuwen Hu worrying about leading people away, Ruo Ling squinted his eyes and whispered to his henchmen: "Go to Beifu Tieqi and contact our people to see if this Yuwen Hu knows about the prince." Then he frowned and said, "Isn't there any news from Zhiyue?" ”
The henchman replied, "We have been searching the surrounding villages for a long time, but there is no trace of them. ”
Ruo Ling was a little uneasy in her heart, Zhi Yue took away more than 100 people, and now no one came to return to her life, didn't Zhi Yue listen to her own words and scattered them inside and outside the city, but brought them to her side?
"General, someone from Beidaying!"
The voice of the soldier outside the tent was heard.
