Entering the room, Wei Ji couldn't hold it anymore, and called Aunt Hui in a low voice, and the person softened.

When she woke up again, she was lying on the bed.

Hui Niang stood in front of the bed, and there was a silver basin next to her, which was warm with medicine, and a bitter smell of herbs permeated the room.

"Aunt Hui." Wei Ji called lightly.

Hui Niang touched her forehead and said, "Don't make a sound, Xiao Langjun hurt his throat, don't speak these days, the maid is looking at you." ”

Wei Ji felt a warm current in her heart and smiled.

Hui Niang turned around and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, she looked at her own girl only distressed, she personally changed Wei Jiao's clothes, saw the bruises and abrasions on her back, and I don't know what kind of sin she suffered to get injured, now Wei Jiao's voice is damaged, she can't say too much, she can only wait until it's all right.

Hui Niang helped Wei Ji up and fed her medicine.

"Lang Jun recuperates with peace of mind, don't think about anything." Hui Niang said softly.

Wei Ji nodded, drank the medicine and became sleepy, and was about to close her eyes and fall asleep again.

The voice of the maidservant Ning Dong came from outside the door, "Xiao Langjun, the people in the Langya Palace's mansion want to see Xiao Langjun." ”

Wei Ji propped up her body, Hui Niang frowned, "It's good to ask the Huang family to go and see her."

Wei Ji shook her head, that Langya King was not so easy to deal with.

After a while, a servant came outside the house, looked through the screen, and saw nothing but the smell of medicine.

"His Royal Highness is worried about Xiao Langjun's injury, so he specially ordered the villain to send medicine, all of which were brought out of Jiankang Palace." The servant said in a loud voice.

The author has something to say:

Chapter 47: Fighting

Hui Niang thanked Wei Ji on behalf of Wei Ji, "My Xiaolangjun is sick and weak, and Xiaolangjun thanked His Royal Highness King Langya for his kindness."

As she spoke, she asked her maidservant Ning Dong to take the ointment.

The servant craned his neck and leaned in, which was rude.

Hui Niang frowned, unhappy in her heart, but when she thought of the Sima clan of the royal family, this anger was gone. Since the founding of the Sima clan, both the emperor and the clan have done too many ridiculous things. She thanked a few more words, said a lot of good things, tactfully issued an eviction order, and ordered Ning Dong to stuff a string of money to the servant.

The servant took the money, but he didn't move, but he was a little anxious, and when King Langya asked him to come, he said something to see how that little Langjun was. The servant is an old man brought by Sima Pi from the Jiankang Mansion, and he knows Sima Pi's temperament, if he just says it casually, he will suffer if he goes back to perfunctory things. In his opinion, the delivery of medicine is not as important as Sima Pi's special instruction.

He had an idea and said: "The villain remembered something, His Highness said that he owed Xiao Langjun a favor, but if there is anything that His Highness needs to help, you can say it bluntly." As he spoke, he dodged Ning Dong, tilted his head around the screen and looked in, saw Wei Ji lying on the bed, and then quickly shrank his head back.

Hui Niang's face was angry, Wei Ji gently patted her hand to appease, and then said with difficulty: "There is indeed something. ”

The servant listened to her hoarse voice, and it was difficult to pronounce words, and the injury was really not light.

Wei Ji endured the swelling and pain in her throat and said: "My brother was recruited for the Northern Expedition, and there has been no news for a long time, so I am really worried. If Your Highness can listen to one or two on your behalf, I will be grateful. ”

When the servant got this reply, he quickly went back to his life and described everything he saw and heard to Sima Pi in detail.

Sima Pi stood in front of the window, holding a jade pendant golden cicada in his hand to play, listening to the servant's words, he chuckled, and said in his heart This Wei Xiaolangjun is interesting, if others hear him say that he owes a favor, he must weigh it carefully, but she immediately made a request without thinking, and this is really difficult for others, but for a direct royal family like Sima Pi, it is not difficult to know the news of the Northern Expedition. Coincidentally, the request is not greedy, and it is just right.

He glanced at the trees in the courtyard and said, "This is easy, call Mr. Tingchuan to come and select the General Jianwu in the Northern Expedition report and send it to the Wei Mansion." ”

On the second day of Wei Ji's recuperation, he received a note from the servants of the Langya Palace, and at first glance, he was sorting out the battle report of the screening, which was written very simply, nothing more than the month and day, where the soldiers of Jianwu were. She looked carefully at them one by one, and roughly deduced the movements of the Northern Expedition along the time.

After that, Sima Pi also kept his promise and sent Wei Zhao's news every few days.

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye, the spring cold has passed, and the weather is getting warmer.

Wei Ji saw the latest battle report, Wei Zhao was placed in the front army by Yin Hao, triggered from Shouchun, first to Shansang, and knew that there would be a battle in the Yan army.

The last note was from six days ago, and if the days were counted, it would not be long before the two armies met.

Wei Ji only knew the final result of this Northern Expedition in her previous life, but she didn't know how to fight, and after reading the battle report, her heart was like a heavy stone, and she was worried about Wei Zhao.

Thousands of miles away, the sky will be dark, the mountains and fields are verdant, the surrounding woods are dense and dim, and there is no end in sight from the depths of the forest leaves, Wei Zhao is patrolling the camp with a team of personal soldiers.

When the encamped soldiers saw him, they immediately stood solemnly, their eyes full of respect. Wei Zhao turned around and didn't find a problem, so he returned to the camp, and the guards brought food to him, Wei Zhao asked Jiang Yu and a few people to stay and eat together, and the others took turns to rest.

There is no rule of food in the army, Wei Zhao asked about the situation in the army, and said it one by one, when it was Jiang Yu's turn, he smiled and said: "I also learned from Lang Jun, these days with my subordinates to eat and sleep together, practice together, it is really effective, they are now listening to my orders." ”

It turned out that as soon as Wei Zhao arrived in the army, Yin Hao allocated 10,000 people to him, and only said that he would go to the Shouchun garrison first. Wei Zhao only brought four guards with him, and when it was time for Shouchun to wait for military orders, he practiced on the spot. The sources of this 10,000-strong army are mixed, and they have nothing to do with the elite at all. Wei Zhao found a lot of problems when he was training, and when he saw that he was a young scholar disciple, he secretly disdained it.

Jiang Yu and the four were indignant, and privately admonished that a few of the most mixed generals would make an example of the generals and correct military law.

Wei Zhao was extremely calm, and in the following month, he ate and followed the army, and practiced the same. On that day, a young general from a poor family carried a long gun and asked Wei Zhao to say that he wanted to compete. The soldiers surrounded the school yard and watched curiously, these days they also saw that Wei Zhao was a little capable, but to what extent someone really needed to weigh it.

Wei Zhaolang smiled, picked up his gun and got on his horse, and fought with the general in the school field. The young general has no family background, and now he can enter the official with martial arts, so he naturally has made meritorious contributions on the battlefield, and most of the soldiers are optimistic about him. Unexpectedly, in less than ten rounds of long and spear exchanges, the young general was picked off by Wei Zhao. He was still not convinced, Wei Zhao pointed at the gun, and the sharp tip of the gun went straight to his throat.

The young general raised his head, looked at Shangwei Zhao's eyes as sharp as electricity, and for a while he was in a cold sweat, he had an intuition that if he provoked again at this time, he would definitely die on the spot.

Everyone was silent.

Wei Zhao put away the gun, and asked with a smile on his face who else wanted to compete.

The most bold and heroic people in the army were the ones who soon came out, and all of them were defeated by Wei Zhao. At this time, everyone also saw that Wei Zhao was a rare warrior with all the weapons of cavalry and archery.

Wei Zhao picked off many good soldiers in the army on one day, and when he marched and drilled again on the second day, there was no situation where the soldiers were lazy to deal with. A few days later, another good hand in the army proposed a competition, Wei Zhao sneered, ordered the provocateur to beat the military stick, and ordered the soldiers to come to watch. Only then did everyone know Wei Zhao's methods, and they would never tolerate such crimes. Since then, the order in the army has been prohibited, and no one has disobeyed it.

Wei Zhao selected 100 people from the army to form a personal guard, and just after the general was cleaned up, Yin Hao's military order came again, and the army marched north.

Wei Zhao led the troops from Huainan County, entered the Yan land, marched for two days, and encountered a small group of Yan army attack, Wei Zhao commanded Ruoding, repelled several attacks, the army did not suffer major damage, the soldiers admired Wei Zhao very much, and no longer regarded him as an ordinary scholar's son.

The army marched to Shansang, and there was a small city here, and the gates of the city were closed and refused to open it. Wei Zhao camped in the mountains less than ten miles from the city gate. Several generals in the army made suggestions one after another, arguing endlessly about persuading the surrender or attacking the city. Wei Zhao looked at the topographic map and frowned.

He Hanzhi, a personal guard, asked: "The general is worried about the siege of the city" He was the first to propose a competition with Wei Zhao that day, and after losing, he accepted punishment and destroyed military discipline, but became Wei Zhao's personal guard. He was convinced by Wei Zhao, and after following him these days, he even decided that Wei Zhao was not an ordinary person, and he would definitely rise to the top, so he was desperate to do the work of personal guards.

Wei Zhao raised his head from his contemplation, raised his sword eyebrows, and said with a smile: "It's just a mountain mulberry, it's not difficult to attack, let's go and test it tomorrow." ”

He Hanzhi and Jiang Yu both saw that what he was thinking was not so simple, but they both knew that if Wei Zhao was in a good mood, he talked and laughed in the style of a prince of the scholar clan, and when he didn't say or laugh, he was dignified and impressive, which made people dare not offend, but if he was angry, it would be terrifying, and the person facing him would be heartbroken, so no one dared to test his thoughts.

On the second day, the army first sent people to the city gate to shout surrender.

Shansang County Ling responded in a trembling voice, saying that he needed to think about it for three days.

Calling the soldiers back to report, Wei Zhao lowered his head and looked at the map again, thoughtful.

On the second day, Wei Zhao sent a scout team to the front to inquire about the news, especially the terrain around Shansang. By the third day, the scouts who had gone to investigate had not returned, but there was news in Shansang City that they were about to surrender, and the county ordered General Jianwu to take the city in person.

Wei Zhao sneered when he heard this, "When I was a three-year-old child, I coaxed. He gave the order and ordered the whole army to be ready to meet the enemy.

When he came out of the camp, Jiang Yu was still a little puzzled, and said: "I see that although the city wall of Shansang is stronger, there are not many soldiers in it, why should Lang Jun be so solemn as to give me 3,000...... No, 2,000 people are enough, and you can take it down. ”

He Hanzhi looked back at the camp tent and said, "The general will not do useless things, I will just obey orders." ”

Wei Zhao heard the two talking in the camp tent, and he also saw the difference, Jiang Yu was born in the market, he was brave and ruthless, He Han's army worked hard all the way, and Yu was better at arranging troops. He thought about the usefulness of the two of them and waited for the army to be reorganized.

Wei Zhao changed into light armor in the camp tent, and at this time, Jiang Yu ran in, took out the heart guard from his bag and said: "Xiao Langjun said that he must let Lang Jun wear this when he goes to the battlefield. ”

Wei Zhao frowned.

Jiang Yu said again: "Xiao Langjun has told me like that, Langjun should wear it." ”

Wei Zhao remembered that Wei Ji grabbed his sleeve that day, as if he was about to cry immediately if he didn't promise her, his heart softened, and he asked Jiang Yu to bring the heart guards.

Wei Zhao marched with a large army, and soon came to the outside of Shansang City, at this time the city gate was wide open, and the county commander stood in front of the door, bowed down and greeted: "I am waiting for the subjects of the northern land, I have been waiting for the king for a long time, please enter the city." ”

The generals and soldiers were excited, the so-called siege of the city, so it did not cost a single soldier, but the city was taken down, which was a great achievement.

When Wei Zhao rode the horse first, with dozens of guards, and was about to enter the city gate, Wei Zhao suddenly turned his horse's head and asked the county order, "Since I have been waiting for Wang Shi for a long time, why do you have to wait for me for three days?"

The county commander was stunned for a moment and said: "The army is coming to the city, and the lower officials are afraid of it......"

Wei Zhao suddenly raised his knife and slashed at him.

The head of the county commander flew out, and blood splattered on the spot. Everyone was stunned.

Wei Zhao said sharply: "There is an ambush in the city, the scouts have not returned, the Yan army has arrived, and they want to take advantage of our entry into the city to attack back and forth, and the whole army listens to the order and prepares to meet the battle." ”

The guards responded in unison and gave the order.

Chapter 48: Secrets

The city gate was opened, and the county commander was cut off and died, which frightened the soldiers who were lying in ambush behind the city gate, and some swords fell out of their hands and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

He Hanzhi said: "General, I'll take someone in to find out." ”

Wei Zhao expected that there were not many people in ambush in Dingcheng, He Hanzhi waved his hand, and led hundreds of soldiers straight into the city, which sent out Jin Ge exchanges, fighting and fighting, and in less than a stick of incense, He Hanzhi came to the door, and the soldiers behind him tied a man in a robe wearing a scarf.

"General, the thieves have been ambushed, this person is the strategist of the Shansang County Order, called Chang Kai, and he knows everything about the county order."

Wei Zhao beckoned and asked people to escort him in front of him.

Chang Kai's face is as pale as dirt, trembling like chaff, people like him who like to give advice to others, the worst situation is in front of him. The master is dead, and he is exposed, and now he is very dangerous, and it seems that he has been very incompetent in his planning.

"This general ......" Chang Kai didn't wait for anyone to ask, he raised his head and said first, "You know that a catastrophe is coming."

Wei Zhao sat on the horse, looked at him condescendingly, raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: "A strategist like you, in order to show your talent, it must be alarmist to open your mouth, do you want to say that although I killed the county commander, I have fallen into the siege of the Yan army, and my death is imminent."

Chang Kai was dumbfounded, this was exactly what he wanted to say, but at this moment, he was broken by Wei Zhao. He was drenched in cold sweat, and looked up at Wei Zhao, "Who is under his feet, is it Xie or Xun?"

This time Yin Hao's Northern Expedition, Xie Shang and Xun Xian were reused as the commanders, he suspected that the young general in front of him was one of them, but the age seemed to be a little wrong, Chang Kai was extremely puzzled.

Wei Zhao ignored him, carried a horsewhip and asked: "If the county order is successful, how to inform Yan Jun"

Chang Kai pursed his lips with a white face and was silent.

Wei Zhao ordered Jiang Yu: "Cut off his five fingers first." ”

Jiang Yu laughed hideously, Lang Jun, who grew up as a market ranger like him, was no stranger to this kind of thing, he didn't call anyone, he turned over and dismounted, and he didn't know when there was a short knife in his hand, reflecting a sparkling silver light in the sun.

Chang Kai was lifted from the ground by Jiang Yu and grabbed his hand from the rope that bound him. If the five fingers are disabled, let alone writing articles, it is a problem to eat and go to the toilet. Chang Kai trembled even more, and hurriedly said, "General, I said." ”

He looked at the corpse of the county commander and the head in the pool of blood on the ground, and said in a trembling heart: It's not that I have no integrity, it's that this general is too ruthless.

Wei Zhao's eyes were gloomy and his face was impatient.

Chang Kai hurriedly said: "Light a fire and light a cigarette on the north wall of the city, and the Yan army will come immediately." ”
