Marry the Regent [Time Travel]

The commander was sitting on a stone bench resting, when he heard the news, he stood up abruptly, and stared straight at the little soldier who came forward to report: "What did you say? The grain and grass were burned? How could the grain and grass be burned if it was good?"

The little soldier cried and said: "Last night there was a big fire suddenly. The fire was so fierce that it was too late to put it out. In the end, only a small part was saved. I'm afraid it's only enough to last for two or three days. But how did the fire start? I don't know how the fire started." I don't know."

The commander was anxious and angry, turned back and forth twice, and shouted: "There was no wind last night, so it is impossible to catch such a big fire all of a sudden! Who did it?"

"No... I don't know... I didn't see..."

"Trash!" The commander cursed fiercely, his chest heaved violently, and when he turned his gaze, he saw another soldier standing tremblingly in the corner, so he yelled at him, "What's the matter?"

The little soldier groaned secretly in his heart. He didn't expect to rush over to do such a thing that would add fuel to the flames. He hesitated for a while, and finally stepped forward two steps bravely, and said with fists in his hands: "Commander Liang, the regent The army...suddenly...suddenly retreated..."

Commander Liang stared at him incredulously: "Retreat? Have you seen clearly?"

"The subordinates dare not talk nonsense. They did retreat, and they retreated without warning."

Commander Liang took a deep breath and felt a headache. After pausing for a moment, he began to pace back and forth irritably, muttering: "What a coincidence...the food and grass were destroyed over there, and the troops retreated here...how could it be such a coincidence? ? How would they know our plan? Are there clairvoyance or ear? Or is there a mole in our army?"

The two soldiers who reported the letter looked at each other, at a loss.

When this place fell into chaos, Fan Maosheng in the capital also got the news that the grain and grass had been burned, but they found out in time and only destroyed a small part of it, which did not affect the plan to seize the capital at all.

At this time, He Yuan led the army to retreat, and did not stop to rest until a safe distance of seven or eight miles away.

While everyone was burying pots and cooking, He Yuan sat alone in the tent, looking down at the letter in his hand.

This is a personal letter sent by Xue Yunzhou in the third urgent report. In the letter, he said that he secretly arranged for people to burn food and grass, and mentioned the route he was going to take after leaving the capital, and the marks he planned to leave along the way , He was even worried that this letter would be seen by others, so he specially used dog-like simplified Chinese characters, occasionally mixed with one or two English words, and the visual effect was gaudy.

"Second brother, isn't it very cautious? Even if the letter is intercepted, they won't understand it, unless there is a third time traveler in this world."

Seeing these words, He Yuan could almost imagine Xue Yunzhou's slightly smug smiling face and the bright black eyes filled with the three big words "seeking compliments". After a while, he folded the letter and put it close to his body.

During the meal, the scouts sent out finally returned. Although the search took a lot of effort, they finally found out the exact situation: there was indeed an ambush in Taiqing Mountain, but it was not clear whether it was 3 people, but the location of the ambush was similar to that of Xue Yunzhou. What was written in the letter was not bad.

Several generals were terrified when they heard this, and one of them quickly swallowed the big cake in his mouth, and said angrily: "My lord, since Xue Chong's people dare to ambush us, we might as well go back and kill them all. !"

He Yuan lowered his eyes and shook his head: "It's not right."

"What's wrong!" the man said anxiously, "Tuli has already retreated, there is no need for us to fight, and it is too late to rush back to save the chaos in the capital, why not vent your anger here and kill Xue Chong and his gang Human prestige?"

He Yuan frowned: "Don't be impulsive. Since they chose to ambush us there, they naturally took advantage of the right time and place. Although we have a large number of soldiers, we can attack them instead. We are completely at a disadvantage and the chance of winning is not great."

It's not that the man didn't understand, he was just impatient. He calmed down after hearing what he said. Finally, he was so angry that he took a few breaths, sighed helplessly, drank a few sips of water, and wiped his mouth: "Then Just go back to the capital."

He Yuan gnawed at the big cake in his hand and remained silent.

In fact, it is not impossible to fight. If the opponent's food and grass are really burned, they can turn the tide of the battle and turn defeat into victory as long as they use delaying tactics.However, he didn't say anything about Xue Yunzhou's burning of food and grass, mainly because it is still unknown whether this matter will be successful or not, and it cannot be used as a reference for any decision. It is useless to say more.

Thinking of Xue Yunzhou, he wished he could leave the camp immediately. It would be better not to go back to the capital, but to go directly to him, but doing so would definitely arouse suspicion from others. The original regent insisted on guarding the capital for so many years, which shows that he has obsession with the capital. , if you leave without a suitable reason, the people below should not be reconciled.

He still needs to use these people and doesn't want to take risks.

After that, the army continued to move towards the capital. He Yuan was extremely silent all the way because he was worried about Xue Yunzhou's safety. The people below didn't know what he was thinking, and they were quite trembling.

When approaching the capital, smoke and dust suddenly rose up in front of him, and soon a group of horses and horses galloped towards them, and when they rushed to the front of the army, they stopped suddenly, and the first person got off his horse, and it turned out to be Xu Tai, the commander of the imperial army.

He Yuan looked at him with some surprise, raised his hand to signal the people below to let him go, and he didn't find any injuries on his face until he got closer.

Xu Tai touched the ground with his knees, clasped his fists and said: "Your subordinate did not guard the capital, please punish me, my lord!"

The capital city has almost become an empty shell. Facing Xue Chong's 2 horsemen, and without sufficient preparations for the battle, he had expected that he would not be able to defend himself. He Yuan's expression remained unchanged, and he only looked up into the distance Seeing that there were not many people brought by him, and all of them looked tired, they said: "Get up, you escaped?"

Xu Tai showed shame: "Yes, I don't know when the lord will return to Beijing. I originally planned to follow the route of the army to find it. I didn't expect to see the lord here by chance."

He Yuan looked at the city wall in the distance, and said: "Right now we have 10 people, and they only have [-]. It will be easy to take back the capital, so you don't have to blame yourself too much."

Xu Tai didn't expect him to say such words, and he was a little emotional for a while, but then he hesitated: "My lord, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to seize the capital again."

He Yuan's brows moved slightly, but before he could speak, the impatient general next to him couldn't wait to ask: "Why is it wrong?"

Xu Tai gritted his teeth, took out a stack of folded yellow paper from his bosom, held it up with both hands, and said, "Right now, there are imperial lists posted everywhere in the capital, saying...that the prince has...returned to the government."

"What?" He Yuan thought he had heard wrong, and looked at him in surprise.

"Return to the government and become a vassal!" Xu Tai paused every word, quite a bit like gnashing his teeth.

He Yuan's eyes sank slightly, and the surroundings were silent for a moment, and several generals showed sullen expressions and shouted one after another.

"What do you mean when you return to the government and become a vassal? The prince leads the army outside, and the battle has not yet been fought. When did he say that he would return to the government? And when did he say that he would go to the vassal?"

"Has the emperor been controlled by Xue Chong's old fox's remnants? He made an order without asking the prince's intentions, and it doesn't matter if he refuses to accept the order!"

"My lord, why don't we go in!"

Listening to their words, He Yuan didn't restrain himself, knowing that the original regent was usually too arrogant, he couldn't help frowning slightly, looked down at the imperial list, and pondered: "How long has it been posted?"

Xu Tai said: "Three days."

"This news can't be covered up. As long as they have the heart, the world will know it soon." He Yuan handed the imperial list to the guards close to him, and said carefully, "As the above said, we will return to the feudal land."

The generals next to him were taken aback, and blocked them in unison: "Your Majesty, no!"

He Yuan raised his hand to stop their persuasion, and his tone was extremely firm: "They are very scheming, and now the whole world knows that I want to return the power, if we rush in, it will be a blatant conspiracy."

As soon as the word "conspiracy" was mentioned, everyone immediately fell silent.

They knew that the prince had never expressed his intentions in this regard. Even if he had such thoughts in his heart, he would not act rashly. After all, no one would like his status to be injustice.

He Yuan said: "Although the capital is empty of troops, it is easy for us to rush in, but don't forget that Tuli may make a comeback at any time. By then, internal troubles have already arisen, and foreign troubles will be added. We may struggle to deal with it. What's more, Once the banner of treason is erected, there will never be a way back, and we can only win but not lose. We are not prepared enough, and it is safer to return to Qingzhou first."

As soon as this remark was made, it was equivalent to making a decision in public, and the surrounding generals were so excited that their eyes turned red, they all folded their fists and knelt down, and said loudly: "I swear to follow the prince to the death!"

He Yuan's expression remained unchanged. He didn't make this decision impulsively. Instead, he thought it over for a long time. Today, he happened to have the right opportunity to say it.

More importantly, he can now leave the capital without any worries and go to Xue Yunzhou.

"Everyone get up." He Yuan turned his horse's head as he said, "Go back to Qingzhou."
