Go to ancient times and engage in construction

After Dong Sima and Nan Sima received the condolence envoy and read the letter from the envoy's home, their faces immediately became sad.

"Do you really want the teacher to return to the court and hand over Huben to the traitorous concubine?" Dong Sima was already rude to Yi Ji now, calling her a traitor concubine.

"At the beginning, Your Majesty repeatedly told you that I wanted to keep Tang Jun out of the border, so how could we not fulfill His Majesty's last wish!" Nan Sima sighed and shook his head.

East Sima and South Sima were cultivated by the King of Wu, and they have always obeyed the King of Wu's orders. No one can order them if it is not the King of Wu.This is also the reason why Yi Ji had to resort to tricks to transfer the two Sima away from the capital before she dared to stage a coup.

"But the treacherous concubine has imprisoned both of us in the palace. This is clearly using them to threaten you and me." Dong Sima took off his helmet in pain, and began to scratch his hair with both hands.Loyalty and family affection to King Wu were at war in his heart.

"We can't go back." Nan Sima suddenly became firm.

"Not going back?" Dong Sima looked up at his colleagues and friends with hesitation.

"It turned out that I couldn't go back because of the king's will and family, but now I can't go back because of the king's will and family." Dong Sima seemed to have made up his mind. "When we go back, we must hand over the military power. After the military power is handed over, the family can be preserved, but Ulsan is about to break the city?"

Nan Sima's face was pale: "Yes, the 5 troops of Ulsan wiped out the [-] troops of the king's capital. Such an elite army won the hearts of the people. The city of the king's capital will be destroyed sooner or later. By then, you and I will be sinners, and the family will not be able to save it. .”

The two could stay at the border because of King Wu's will. After Ulsan defeated Yi Ji, the two had righteousness to rely on, and Zheng Yuming would only reward them for their actions in defending the country.If they follow Yi Ji's request and withdraw their troops back to the capital, they will not be able to support the righteousness, but will also help Ulsan to attack the royal city. The casualties will definitely increase, and these losses will be recorded on their heads.After killing Yi Ji, the two of them are sinners, and the family will also suffer bad luck.

"Our best countermeasure now is not to be a teacher, and continue to block Tang Jun. Your son is wise, and he will understand our actions of being dedicated to the country."

Nan Sima not only decided to stay at the border, but also prepared to write a secret letter to Zheng Yuming for help, asking Zheng Yuming to try to rescue his family members who were under house arrest in the palace.

Nan Sima admired Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui very much. Last year's Harvest Festival, when everyone was ignorant of the bandits that appeared in the south of the capital, Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui detected the conspiracy from the clues, paralyzed Xi Sima, and then turned to North returned to Ulsan safely by boat.The victory at the Ulsan crossing made him even more admired.

Nan Sima believes that he and Dong Sima have nothing to do with their family members under house arrest, and the benevolent son clearly has a way to rescue them.Rather than betting the fate of the family on Yiji, who has a bleak future, it is better to bet on Zheng Yuming, who has already won the hearts of the people and has strength.

At the same time, Nan Sima calculated that as long as he and Dong Sima did not openly seek refuge in Ulsan, Yi Ji would not dare to kill their family members before the end of the road. Doing so would directly push them to Ulsan.In addition, they resisted the Tang army's disobedience and stood for righteousness. Killing their family members would arouse the opposition of some neutral ministers in the royal court. When the enemy approached the city, Yi Ji had to stabilize the situation in the capital.

Nan Sima and Dong Sima discussed some details, and first wrote a secret letter to Zheng Yuming respectfully, and sent a fast horse to the Ulsan army. On the other hand, they politely asked for a condolence envoy, and first expressed their gratitude to Queen Mother Yiji , thanked her for caring about the families of the generals who worked hard outside, and then said that they had promised when the king died that they would not return to the capital unless the invaders were repelled. Now that the Tang army has invaded the border of Wu State, the two of them have won First drive Tang Jun out of the border.To drive away the invaders, the two Sima promised that the army would immediately return to Kangdu to protect the king's car.

The envoy sent by Yi Ji dawdled with the two Sima for several days, but the two Sima did not change their minds, so they had to go back to the capital to report to Yi Ji.

After Yi Ji received the news that the troops of the border army refused to return, she immediately summoned the ministers of the royal court.

"Now that the capital is in critical condition, the two Sima disobeyed orders and refused to return to the teacher. This is a serious crime, and the Ai family cannot bear to deal with it. Lovers, there is a way to persuade the two Sima to return to the capital quickly, lest they commit a heinous crime."

Seeing that the left and right ministers bowed their heads and said nothing, the Taifu had no choice but to step forward and remonstrate: "Dong Sima and Nan Sima are dedicated to the country, and it is understandable for them to disobey their orders and not return to the king."

"If the traitor breaks through the royal capital and puts the king in danger, can the two Sima bear such a serious crime? I think the king should issue a clear order to recall the border tigers and protect the king first. If he disobeys the order, he should be punished as a crime of rebellion." Jiang Jiang The doctor stepped forward and asked.

Taifu raised his eyelids and said coldly: "The new king is important, but the country is even more important! How can this be rebellion?"

Yiji gasped after hearing what the Taifu said. These ministers who acquiesced to her son's succession did not stand with them at all. The Taifu was the teacher of the son Yong, but in the eyes of the Taifu, he was still Wu Guo. His country is more important than his students, because as long as the country of Wu exists, there will be no prince Yong and other princes of the royal family can be kings of Wu.

Just when Wang Ting was cold, the waiter outside reported that Beihou sent an envoy to meet Wang Ting.

"This is a letter from my Lord Hou to Wang Ting." Beihou's envoy had an arrogant face.

Yi Ji grasped the silk with her fingers tightly, suppressing her anger: "Present it."

The waiter of the royal court took the letter and handed it to Young Master Yong who was dozing off. After Young Master Yong was awakened, he took the letter without reading it and handed it to Yi Ji. Ever since Young Master Yong found out that he was just a display in the royal court, Lack of interest in this kind of court discussion, either sitting in a daze, or bowing his head and falling asleep.

"Presumptuous! The left and right tigers dragged me down and beheaded!" After reading the letter, Yi Ji was trembling with anger. She threw the letter at Beihou's messenger, and suddenly stood up and yelled loudly.

The Taifu picked up the letter and looked at it. It turned out that it was Beihou who questioned the legitimacy of Prince Yong. And Zheng Yuming is pretending to be the son of the son Ming, neither of them is qualified to be the king of Wu, and now only he Beihou is the most qualified to be the lord of the Wu kingdom, so he has established himself as the king in the fief.

After reading the letter, Tai Tuo was silent. He deeply felt that Wu State was facing an abyss, and hoped that there would be a powerful royal figure who could clean up Wu State's chaos and return Wu State to a peaceful environment.Not only did Yi Ji's mother and son not have such abilities, they were also the chief culprits of Wu's current situation.

After Yiji got angry, she found that the ministers of the royal court were silent, and even Dr. Jiang bowed his head and dared not speak. Now that the only troops in the capital are reserved for the opponent's Ulsan army, how can they allocate troops to conquer Beihou.

The ruler of the Tang Kingdom is no longer easy to speak, Dong Sima and Nan Sima refused to return, their family members have not yet been convicted, the Northern Marquis openly despised the royal court for self-reliance, and the royal court was insulted but could not be punished. All these things made Yi Ji feel angry and powerless. , and the silence of the ministers of the royal court made Yi Ji's back even more chilly. At this time, Yi Ji felt scared for the first time, felt fear.

The crusade against Yiji requires the identity of son Ming to be the banner. Zheng Yuming can no longer stay in the rear, and has to act with the crusade army. He is the nominal commander of the army.

Zheng Yuming entrusted Dacheng to Wei Shen and Chen Meng, Houpo, Valley, Nanbu, and Su Plain were handed over to Yu Kui, Dacheng left 500 tiger and ben for Wei Ci to lead and guard, and there were no troops left in Dacheng and Nanbu , the original [-] patrols in the valley play the role of defending the safety of the valley. There are more than [-] security team members in Nanbu, led by Wu Dahetian Hutianbao brothers. Tuosu from the Eagle tribe and many tribe warriors have just been recruited into the army. They The two hundred infantry left behind to assist Su Pingyuan protected Su Pingyuan.

Behind Ulsan, as long as the vassal states do not send out large troops, security issues are still guaranteed. The only vassal state bordering Ulsan is Chu State in the west. The king of Chu State is old and greedy for enjoyment. The secret agents in the Chu State did not find any movement of the Chu royal court to send troops, Zheng Yuming was very relieved of this gradually declining vassal state.

The Ulsan crusade army marched to the place where Dr. Jiang’s private soldiers pretended to be bandits last year. Chu Chaohui received secret letters from Dong Sima and Nan Sima, and also received news from spies lurking in the Beihou fiefdom.

It was in the evening that the secret letter and news were received. The army had already found an open place to set up camp, Zheng Yuming's main tent had been set up, and the German shepherd dog Mu Mu was squatting at the entrance of the tent to guard.Three hundred elite soldiers from the valley were stationed around the main tent.

After growing for nearly three years, Wood finally grew into the image of a big dog and regained its majestic appearance.Before Chu Chaohui set out for the expedition, he remembered that the wood had grown into a big dog. From a protected person to a guardian, he could protect Zheng Yuming, so he immediately sent someone to take the wood out of the valley and put it next to Zheng Yuming.

I don't think that Mu Mu didn't want Chu Chaohui to let him reunite with his master at all. When others saw Zheng Yuming, Mu Mu didn't feel nervous. When it was Chu Zhaohui's turn to meet Zheng Yuming, Mu Mu immediately became extremely vigilant and followed his master closely.

Chu Zhaohui looked at Mu Mu's dog eyes at the tent door for a while, then walked around Mu Mu with a soft hum and entered the big tent.

"When Mu Mu grew up, his IQ declined, and he became inseparable." Chu Chaohui went into the big tent and complained to Zheng Yuming. He wanted to hug Zheng Yuming first, but he looked at the big cow standing upright beside him, and followed him closely. The wood of his footsteps had to give up.

"Nonsense, there is no IQ regression in Mu Mu." Zheng Yuming smiled slightly. Mu Mu was only nervous about Chu Chaohui for a reason. When others saw him, he stood at least three steps away from talking. Only Chu Chaohui came, taking advantage of no one. Always making moves, Mu Mu felt that Chu Chaohui was the most threatening to his master, so of course he regarded Chu Chaohui as the number one object of attention.

Chu Chaohui handed the secret letter and the news of Beihou's fiefdom to Zheng Yuming, and turned around to ask Daniel to withdraw from the tent so that he could discuss important matters with Zheng Yuming, but after thinking about the contents of the secret letter, Chu Chaohui not only did not tell Daniel to withdraw , Instead chatted with Daniel.

"Daniu, did you have a good relationship with your colleagues when you were working as a tiger in the palace?"

"Of course, we are all brothers!" Daniu nodded affirmatively. Although his status was low, he was invincible among the tigers in the palace with his brute strength.

"Da Niu, what impression do you have of Yi Ji?" Chu Zhaohui's eyes lit up.

"Our Hu Ben doesn't like Yi Ji, this woman is too lenient." Daniu shook his head, King Wu has many concubines, only Yi Ji always instigates them, Yi Ji's background is low, Dr. Jiang has a bad reputation, and Hu Ben doesn't like it How can you think highly of Yi Ji?

"That's it." Chu Chaohui raised his eyebrows lightly. In this way, the palace huben did not defend the palace because he was loyal to Yiji, but continued to perform his duty because he was loyal to the old King Wu.

"Da Niu, are you afraid of death?"

"How can a warrior be afraid of death?" Da Niu Tongling stared.

"Yi Ji disregarded the interests of Wu State for personal gain, first lured wolves into the house, and now put the two Sima's family members under house arrest in the palace as hostages, in order to coerce the two Sima to give up resisting foreign enemies and return to Beijing."

"This traitorous concubine is disgusting! I'm going to rescue the two Sima's family members from the palace, Wang Gonghuben Haoerlang will not tolerate such a traitorous woman!" Da Niu straightened his back and clasped his fists in begging for life.

"Okay! Okay! Daniel is a true warrior!" Chu Chaohui gave Daniel a thumbs up. "Daniu, go find Huang Zhuang now. Huang Zhuang has stayed in the capital for two and a half years, and he is familiar with the secret passages of the capital. The family members of the two Sima were rescued from the palace."

"Daniu takes orders!" Daniu accepted Chu Chaohui's order, turned around and went outside the tent to discuss specific matters with Da Zhuang.

"Zhaohui, Da Zhuang's son is only a few months old." Zheng Yuming sighed. After Da Zhuang and Yu Kui successfully completed the task, Yu Kui went to manage the valley and Nanbu, and Da Zhuang went to Huang Zhong's intelligence office. This time During the northern expedition of the army, Da Zhuang marched with the army and was responsible for handling intelligence affairs.

"The two Sima are very important. I need them to hold Tang Wang at the border with peace of mind. After Yi Ji is destroyed, the next step is to deal with him!" Chu Zhaohui pointed at a place within the border of Tang State, where there are high-quality coal mines .

"After beating Yi Ji, you will be beating the King of Tang, and after beating the King of Tang, you will be beating the Marquis of Bei." Zheng Yuming sighed even more heavily. The two of them had always wanted the high-quality coal mines in the territory of the Tang Kingdom, and King Tang's active aggression gave them the opportunity to send troops. reason.And Beihou Feng Real Estate Good Horse, how could such a good place allow him to break away from self-reliance.

"It's quick to beat Yiji, and the Tang army doesn't have to worry about it. Beihou's fief has only a few thousand soldiers. It's a trivial matter to destroy him." Chu Chaohui was very confident.

"I know they are not opponents, but the logistical pressure is huge!" Zheng Yuming has a headache. The food and grass he prepared is enough for the Ulsan army for a year, but now there are more soldiers from Xi Sima, and the people of Xihou, the food and grass have been separated. One quarter, two more battles in the future, the grain and grass reserves will be tight.

"Yu Ming, you still have extra food and grass to pay." Chu Zhaohui suddenly thought of something.

"Ah? Is there something extra?" Zheng Yuming opened his mouth wide.

"That's right, Dong Sima and Nan Sima refused to withdraw their troops back to the capital. Yi Ji's use of hostages won't work, and they will definitely force them by cutting off their food and grass." Chu Chaohui despised this woman Yi Ji from the bottom of his heart. Little tricks on the table.

Chu Chaohui's prediction for Yi Ji was very accurate. Seeing that the hostages could not force the border tigers to return to the capital, Yi Ji ordered to cut off the supply of food and grass. All the military supplies on the way to the border were recovered by Yi Ji's envoys.

At the critical moment when the Wu army ran out of food at the border, the big ship from Nanbu brought them military supplies from the small bay.
