a pillow in autumn
Chapter 83
There were a few light gray clouds floating in the morning sky, a ray of summer wind blew through the green grass on the outskirts of the city, shaking a few thin fringes in front of the car door, and the tiny bell at the corner of the top of the treasure rang with a lonely jingle.
Shen Xianxun stood beside the carriage, silently watching Jiang Xueran's two personal maids help Siyuan to help Shuyao into the front carriage.Shuyao lay on her back in a daze on the floor of the car, the originally not spacious space became even narrower.
Siyuan half-knelt beside Shuyao, touched her hot cheek with a faint nostalgia on her face.She took off a sachet she usually wore around her waist, hid it in her sleeve pocket, sniffed, stepped back on her knees, and kowtowed to Jiang Xueran squarely.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Xueran supported her waist with one hand and her arm with the other, and the maid next to her helped the master to support Siyuan.
"Princess Bao." Siyuan raised her head, her big eyes were filled with tears, "Shuyao, I'm counting on you." She kowtowed again as she spoke, and took a last look at Shuyao before turning around and lifting the vines in front of the car door. He jumped out of the carriage resolutely, and ran after Shen Xianxun's carriage.
Behind the barracks of the Red Wing Army, a patrol marched past.Pei Yue walked into a tent with a cup of concoction that was green in color.In the tent, Zhou Mubai was talking with Shen Youtang, seeing the medicine, he couldn't help but grimace.I don't know what kind of poison Liu Xun is hiding in the hidden weapon. After pulling out the needle to remove the rot and applying the medicine for a few days, her steps are still a little vain.Pei Yue held the medicine cup cautiously with both hands, Zhou Mubai felt all kinds of dissatisfaction, so he had no choice but to take it, and drank it slowly.
Over the past few days, Meng Xiang and several lieutenants under his command have been leading troops to attack, but the Red Wing Army couldn't resist, retreated again and again, and retreated to the small town of Yunlai, which was not rich in resources.
There are fields and paddy fields around the town, and the scorching sun shines on the heavy tassels, bowing their heads in the valley.Day after day, the tassels fell with the wind, but no farmer came to harvest them.Zhou Muchen found this strange at first, so he sent people to the village to inquire about it, and when he came back, he said that because the Xuanyi army passed through the border a while ago, and it was in time for the fruit and vegetable harvest season, the army sent people to pick melons and fruits in the field, and the village The man went to protect his own melon field, and clashed with the black-clothed soldiers, and was beaten to death several times in a row.
At that time, Zhou Muchen was holding a pen to write a piece of military affairs, when he heard the word "snap", he broke the pen holder.
Three days later, the Red Wing Army harvested all the summer grain around the town, stacked them neatly, and piled them on the edge of the fields.The people were evasive at first, and then they read the notice posted in front of the town's yamen, and then happily carried the load and ran to their own fields, and brought back the grain that should belong to them.
Chen Rui, a young general under Wei Jinpeng, has accumulated military merits and has been promoted to Deputy Lieutenant Zhenwei. He was ordered to lead a group of soldiers to buy food in the town. Can't solve the military supplies for a few days.
Several lieutenants gathered in the middle camp, each with their own ideas, one said to raise the price of rice, enrich the grain reserves, and first protect the use of the army, and the other retorted that this is tantamount to killing chickens and extracting eggs, and it will only increase public grievances.
Zhou Muchen sat behind the desk in the center of the camp, with a dignified figure, a map spread out in front of him, and Leilei's thick books piled up on the left.
After everyone's discussion was over, Zhou Muchen was silent for a moment, and said in a gentle voice: "I am aware of what you said. Please return to the camp first, repair the army, and make a decision after the Gu Wang and Prince Rui discuss it."
The generals left with their hands in their hands, Zhou Muchen took a few steps in the middle camp, raised the curtain, and walked out of the felt door.He walked halfway towards Zhou Mubai's tent, and suddenly thought of something, he turned around and walked back to the middle camp under the puzzled eyes of the guards.
"Prince Rui, please come to the middle camp." He said to the guards outside the camp.After knowing her identity, he always avoided meeting her in her camp.
The guards led away, and after a while, Zhou Mubai came alone.Zhou Muchen frowned when he saw that she was only wearing a light riding outfit with narrow sleeves and a collar, "Seeing that it's going to be cool in autumn, you can only heal from your poisonous wounds, why don't you come out wearing a cloak."
Mu Bai smiled: "Your brother is so weak. Just now someone came and said that all the generals just left from the emperor's place. They thought that the emperor was looking for me urgently, so they hurried over."
Mu Chen glanced sideways at her, and told her all the matters discussed by the generals just now, and finally asked: "General Wei proposed to go south to the land with rich supplies, what do you think of the third brother?"
Zhou Mubai lowered his eyebrows and thought for a while, then replied: "What all the officers and men said is reasonable, but on the surface, it seems that there is insufficient food and grass. When you think about it in detail, it is because the land of Yunlai Town is sparsely populated. Firstly, it will be difficult for the army to supply supplies, and secondly, Prince Min will lead the Xuanyi army to attack, so we have no danger to defend."
With Zhou Muchen's hands behind his back, a ray of sunlight fell from the skylight above the tent, reflecting his increasingly calm and resolute side face.
"I want to retreat seventy miles." He walked to the case and clicked on the map spread out on the case.
"Brother Huang wants to retreat to Wuyang County?" Zhou Mubai was a little surprised.
Zhou Muchen nodded.Both of them are well aware of the pros and cons.After weighing it over and over again, Zhou Mubai cupped his hands and said, "I only obey the emperor's orders."
Zhou Muchen asked Wei Jinpeng to come to see him, and the three of them discussed and decided to leave the middle camp together.A few brothers from the Shen family happened to pass by before the camp, Zhou Mubai bid farewell to Mu Chen, smiled, and left with Shen Youtang.
Zhou Muchen stood behind her, not sure if he had just recovered from a poisonous injury, but he saw that her figure was thin, but she was tall and straight like a new bamboo, standing in the wind.
In the early morning of the next day, with the light of dawn in the east, the Red Wing Army had pulled out their camp and marched towards Wuyang County in the northwest.
The army was like a long dragon, marching forward mightily, Shen Lan rode his horse and ran to Shen Youtang's side, whispering that there was something unknown, Youtang walked side by side with him, and asked him what was the matter.
Shen Lan said, the crown prince and Prince Min have been fighting for many days, why are there so few vassals and princes from all over the world who have challenged them?
Shen Youtang looked at the long line, with a look of sadness in his eyes, "The battle between the princes is like brotherhood, you see, we have traveled this way, wherever the two armies pass, even if there is no Latin enlistment, it is inevitable to conquer civilians , build fortifications, so that the land in the fields is barren and the people are displaced. If all the vassals and princes join in the battle, it will not only waste the people and waste money, but also affect the entire territory of Rui. Both Prince Min and Prince Min don't want to see it, so if there is a chance, both sides are unwilling to invite princes to fight."
Shen Lan pulled the rein of the horse, thoughtful, and was waiting to ask more questions. Suddenly, his ears moved, and he immediately turned his head to look at the forest a hundred paces away. Lan's expression froze, and he raised his voice and shouted: "There is an ambush!"
Countless sergeants in black clothes rushed out from the left and right, and before anyone could get close, the arrows rained down on the advancing Red Wing Army one after another, wailing all over the field.
In front of them is a large open land, the Red Wing Army is marching on the way, tens of thousands of people are long, and it is impossible to look at each other from head to tail.The Xuanyi army lay in ambush early on, light cavalry opened the way, and with halberds and spears, the phalanx charged forward one by one, and immediately cut off the advancing team.
Shen Lan pushed aside a flying feather with his sword, and galloped forward, but he couldn't find Prince Rui's direction due to the turbulent crowd.Enemy troops in black shirts rushed from all directions and easily dispersed them. He could only watch carefully while fighting.
Meng Xiang led his own soldiers to fight. On a low hillside, he saw Zhou Muchen in the melee. He immediately mobilized several teams and set up a dragon array with banners, trying to surround them.Wei Jinpeng had been through the battlefield for a long time, and when he saw the battle flags running, he knew that the phalanx was aimed at the two princes, so he quickly ordered the tiger wings to spread out on the left and right, and holding the Zhangba Snake Spear, he charged towards the princes.
Zhou Mubai was riding on the horse, with a scar on his shoulder.A black-robed cavalry soldier was cut and wounded in front of the horse by the royal guards, but he got up from the ground without fear, and suddenly jumped high with a halberd in his hand, with a hideous face.Zhou Mubai held up the long sword to block it, after all she was weak after the injury, her arm slowed down a bit, presumably she could barely miss the vital point.
When she was panicking, a long sword blocked the halberd in front of her. She turned her head and saw Zhou Muchen raised the sword in his hand, and the point of the sword pierced into the black-robed cavalry's chest.
"That's also a subject of my country of Rui. Everyone on this battlefield is a citizen of my country of Rui!" She suddenly thought inappropriately, feeling sore in her heart.
Zhou Muchen turned his horse's head and shouted at her, she came back to her senses, the enemy army was siege in front of her eyes, this place of killing and fighting could not allow her to soften her heart for a moment.
"Your Highness!" Wei Jinpeng raised his spear horizontally and pierced through the armor of a Black Wing Army soldier. The soldier fell down screaming.
Both Donggongwei and Wangfuwei were scarred and scarred, but they still tried their best to gather around the two princes and charge and kill among the chaotic army.
A black flying feather shot from the front, and it was nailed to the neck of a royal guard. The guard fell straight off the horse without making a sound.Zhou Mubai held the long sword in his hand and looked up. Meng Xiang was just outside the barrier, bowing his bow and setting an arrow, with a frivolous look of determination on his square face.
Wei Jinpeng yelled angrily, and charged with a snake spear in his hand. Seeing that he was approaching menacingly, Meng Xiang threw away his bow and arrow, drew a broad-backed sword from his horse, and fought with Wei Jinpeng in a murderous manner.
Suddenly hearing a strange sound from a distance, Wei Jinpeng couldn't help turning his head to look, but he violated the taboo of military strategists. Meng Xiang focused on his eyes and slashed straight down with his sword. Wei Jinpeng's snake spear is suitable for immediate combat. It is difficult to go back to the file, so we have to avoid it sideways.Meng Xiang has been fighting with his father since he was a child, so far he smiled coldly and swept his sword across without any hesitation.
Zhou Mubai could see it clearly, he used his sword to save him, but there was no time, Wei Jinpeng's horse took a step back, and the broad-backed sword reversed along the way, cutting straight down.
Wei Jinpeng cried out in pain, and a large piece of flesh on his left arm was sliced off with a big knife. The bone was visible in the wound, and blood was dripping.
Meng Xiang held the saber and waited to cut again, suddenly he felt that the camp of his Xuanyi army was in chaos.
A young general, wearing a blue battle robe and leading three thousand soldiers, rushed over from outside the phalanx. His speed was so fast that he was invincible.He tore open a hole in the Xuanyi Army's trapped dragon formation like riding the wind and waves, leaving Meng Xiang with no time to react, the young general was already in sight!
"Big brother! Third brother!" The young general on horseback yelled, and the armored soldiers around him split off a few Xuanyi soldiers, protecting him and rushing to the side of the crown prince and Zhou Mubai.
"It's Muyi!" Zhou Mubai said happily!
"Follow me!" Zhou Muyi raised the Thunderbolt spear in his hand.
Three thousand soldiers cleared the way, Zhou Muyi turned the horse's head, and the horse's hooves flew up, as if entering a land without people!
