Longyang loves Qin

If Ziying's question had been asked a few years earlier, Ying Zheng would not have felt anything unusual, but now it is different.

Ying Zheng looked at Ziying whose eyes were almost covered, feeling suspicious.

Did Ziying simply want to please him, so he asked this question, or did Ye Yu tell Ziying about this, and Ziying came to verify?

No, no, if it's just for proof, there's no need for Ziying to do anything more.

Ying Zheng stared at Ziying, as if he wanted to tear off his quilt, so as to read the clue from his expression.

"Why do you ask?" Ying Zheng's tone was full of oppression.

This is even more frightening for Ziying, who has always been afraid of Ying Zheng, but he never took his eyes off Ying Zheng, still wanting to find answers.

It's not like asking for yourself, let alone asking for proof.Ying Zheng thought.

Could it be for Ye Yu?

He was even more puzzled, it was clear that Ye Yu knew who he liked better than anyone else.

Is it disbelief or what?

If Yingzheng lived in later generations, he would be able to quickly guess Ziying's real purpose. However, as an out-and-out ancient man, his knowledge in this area is extremely shallow, so that his thinking has taken several detours.

No matter what Ziying's purpose was, Ying Zheng still answered him, "I am pleased with your father."

Ziying opened his eyes wide in astonishment and forgot to breathe for a moment.

"Father?" At this time, Fusu also realized that Ziying was pretending to be sick, and hurried over for fear that Ziying's behavior would anger Yingzheng.

Ying Zheng put his hands behind his back and pursed his lips without speaking, nor did he look at him.

Seeing his father, Fusu's eyes were wide open in fright, and he quickly said: "Ziying is fine, Father takes care of everything every day, so let's leave this place to Fusu."

Fortunately, Ying Zheng still gave his son face, or he couldn't get an answer from Ziying, so he nodded and turned to go out.

Seeing Yingzheng leave, Fusu turned around and said to Ziying who slowly came back to his senses, "What happened? Why are you pretending to be sick?"

But Ziying remained silent, making Fusu feel helpless, "Forget it, if there is anything, you can send someone to the palace to find me."

This time, Ziying thanked him well, and Fusu was sure that Ziying had something on his mind, and it had something to do with his father, but since Ziying didn't want to say anything, he couldn't break the casserole and ask the bottom line.

After exhorting him a few more words, Fusu exited the Ye mansion, and returned to the palace on the carriage on which he got up. On the way, he sneaked a few glances at his father, and was surprised to find that his father seemed to have something on his mind, with a frown on his face. The appearance of the exhibition.

Ying Zheng did have something on his mind. Ever since he felt that Ziying's problem was related to Ye Yu, he had been thinking about its meaning.If it wasn't for Ziying's identity, he would have dragged him up for questioning.

He thought it was because Ye Yu didn't believe him more, but the speculation in his mind - baseless, was enough to make him ecstatic.

At this time, Ying Zheng suddenly regretted that he had sent Ye Yu to defend against the Yuezhi, otherwise he would have been able to call people in now to verify his guess.Anyway, he had already confessed before, so he didn't have to worry as much as before even if he asked the question to the end.

At this time, Ying Zheng even wanted to pick up a pen to write a letter and send it, but just picked up the pen but stopped.

If his guess was correct, why did Ye Yu reject him earlier?

After holding the pen for a long time, he finally failed to write.

On the other hand, Ye Yu didn't know that his son had set him up for a trick. After he dispatched troops, he mobilized enough soldiers and horses in Yongcheng, Mianzhu and other places, and then went all the way west, leading the army to Didao smoothly.

When they arrived at Didao's garrison, there was a general in bronze armor in his 40s waiting outside the camp, "The last general Peng Bo has seen General Ye!"

Ye Yu hurriedly dismounted and said, "You don't need to be polite, this general Ye Yu, you are General Zuo's lieutenant general?" He had already got the news, but he still confirmed it.

Peng Bo nodded, checked the talisman with him and said, "General Zuo has been waiting for General Ye for a long time, please follow me."

Ye Yu turned his head and said to Li Xin: "You will arrange the soldiers and horses. I will go to meet with General Zuo first."

Li Xin took the order and ordered Peng Bo to lead the way, and then Peng Bo also took Ye Yu to the account.

Ye Yu was taken aback as soon as he entered the main account. He saw a veteran in his 50s lying on the floor looking at the bamboo rolls. Because the weather was not cold and he was not covered with a quilt, he could clearly see the bamboo rolls on his left. The general had wounds on his back and legs, and was wrapped in a large piece of undyed plain cloth.

"General Ye is here, good!" General Zuo looked happy when he saw him coming.

Ye Yu sat down opposite him, frowned and said, "What's the matter with that injury on your leg?" He knew about the injury on his back, but he had never heard of the injury on his leg.

"I fell off my horse when I was attacked by Na Yuezhi." General Zuo wrote lightly: "It's fine to raise it well, it doesn't matter."

"Did you hurt your bones?" The injuries from falling off the horse vary from mild to severe, and General Zuo's injuries don't look like minor injuries.

"Don't worry, my bones are old, but they are well maintained." General Zuo said, as if he wanted to touch his beard habitually, but found that this posture was not suitable, so he had to put his hand on the bamboo scroll in front of him, "I just want you to stay a little longer."

Ye Yu smiled, "It's nothing to leave when you come, I'm here to beat that Yueshi, no matter what, I have to beat Yuezhi before I leave."

General Zuo laughed, "That's a good point, but this Yuezhi is not the Jingchu you fought in the south. All of them are brave and good at fighting. They are not much worse than my Qin State, but their brains are not as smart as ours."

"You can practice only if you have never fought before. Maybe I will come here to replace you and continue to guard the border in the future."

General Zuo said hello repeatedly, and then got to the point, "How many soldiers, horses, food and grass did you bring with you when you came? Where are the soldiers from?"

Ye Yu reported the number of food and supplies and the source of troops, and said: "There is not a single citizen, they are all standing troops."

"It's hard to say, the standing army may not be better than civilian husbands." General Zuo shook his head.

Ye Yu sat upright, as if listening attentively.

"Some standing troops have lost their temperament, and their ruthlessness is not comparable to that of some desperate civilians." General Zuo also did not hesitate to advise, "Beating the Yue clan is not a siege. Just bluffing is useless. What is needed is ruthlessness. They can be tough."

After a pause, General Zuo said again: "To be honest, I don't like you very much. You are more tender than the women here. Even if you don't mention your ability, I'm afraid you can't stand the wind and sand here. And I heard that you are soft-tempered. And, this is not necessary."

Ye Yu pursed his lips, and said a little dissatisfied: "Can't stand it, can't beat it, just take a look."

General Zuo raised his mouth, "Okay, I'll just wait and see. But you and your soldiers have to train again. That Yueshi only came two days ago, so he probably won't be here for now."

What he said was true, but it was also a provocative one. Ye Yu was not angry with what he said earlier, but was willing to fall into that provocative method.

General Zuo has been stationed at the border for many years, and Ye Yu has only seen him a few times, and the sum of what he said a few times is probably not as much as before.

It was the same for General Zuo, the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and they got to know each other better after talking.

"How much do you know about that Yueshi?" General Zuo asked.

Ye Yu pondered for a moment and said: "The current Yuezhi Wang Tuoda has just taken over the throne not long ago, but it can be seen that he is ambitious and wants to use Daqin to make merit. As long as he is allowed to suffer, he should know how to retreat in spite of difficulties. .”

"You're right, but there's something you don't know. The Yuezhi matter is related to the Xiongnu."

"The Xiongnu?" Ye Yu didn't know anything about this period of history, and all relied on the current information, so he didn't know much.

"The Xiongnu were frightened by Zhao's Li Mu. They couldn't get their clothes, food and utensils. Touman could only lead them to snatch the Donghu and Yuezhi. Now that Tuo Da has succeeded, he must take revenge."

These three tribes are nomadic peoples who migrate with their livestock. The agricultural handicraft industry is far inferior to that of the Central Plains, and most of them rely on plundering the Central Plains.

After hearing this, Ye Yu sneered, "So, does Tuo Da regard Qin as an appetizer? Or does he want to store up supplies to attack the Huns?" He was expelled from the Central Plains back then, but now he dares to underestimate "I'm afraid it's all Yes." General Zuo glanced at his legs and sighed.

"By the way, I heard that you seem to have a good sword, but how about your long soldiers and bows and arrows?" General Zuo suddenly remembered.

Ye Yu answered truthfully, "Bows and arrows are not bad, but they can't be called sharpshooters. Chang Bing has learned some from the Meng family, but they are still slightly inferior to swordsmanship and bows."

He is not bad, after all, he is good at swordsmanship, and the other two are also excellent.

Unexpectedly, General Zuo lost his smile immediately, and opened his mouth to reprimand: "It's nothing to be a mere short soldier. Before you can hit someone, he will stab you off your horse with one blow. Although the three strategies in the north are not as good as those in the Central Plains." , but you are best at riding and shooting, and you can fight immediately, you may not be able to compare with them, your superiority, to me, is at best a superior."

Ye Yu touched his nose and lowered his head for training.

Immediately afterwards, General Zuo taught him some techniques, said that he was in high spirits, and even made gestures.

"Hiss—" Just as he was gesticulating vigorously, General Zuo suddenly gasped.

Ye Yu was taken aback for a moment, realizing that he had touched the wound, so he hurried forward to check.

"Have you seen red?" General Zuo asked softly.

The plain cloth used for bandaging is naturally not a very good material, so if it sees blood, it will easily leak out. Ye Yu looked at it and replied, "No."

After so many days, most of the wounds have healed, but the pain is unavoidable.

General Zuo breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Ye Yu again and said, "Keep talking!" But this time, unless it was something particularly important, he didn't dare to make any big moves.

Ye Yu also listened carefully. It would be the best thing for someone from his wild background to teach him.

Soon, after Ye Yu and the soldiers he brought had trained for a period of time and adapted to the Gobi desert climate, the Yuezhi tribe attacked again.

The author has something to say: ①Touman: It seems to be the first Hun Shanyu.
