Qingzhou trip

The people in Zhenrong Military Field were beating their hearts out: Since the Beixia people were posing for a showdown, why did they not enter the field when they retreated from Shahai City, instead they stationed a few miles away and did not approach.

If there are people from the Baosheng Army stationed, there are only more than 1000 troops, which is not enough to fill the ditch on the battlefield.

He Sansheng finally received the first reply letter from Marshal Guo Yixiao of the Zhenrong Army this morning. He Sansheng, who was born as a scholar, would not understand the meaning of the letter, but scratched his head in disbelief: "All the aunts in the army are in charge. Slow down the war, and wait for the important tasks of food and supplies, and defense first. Don't send troops."

One side is the future emperor's own sister, and the other side is the big head on top of his own head. He Sansheng was in a difficult situation for a while, and he didn't even notice that Yun Bailu slipped out of his tent.He is used to getting away. When he came back to his senses, he saw Yun Bailu leaning outside drinking and watching the snow. He hurriedly ordered people to add charcoal to the brazier, and ordered to add more wine and vegetables. Then he spread a square face and smiled flatteringly, "Yun Cheng Why don't the envoys enter the tent to enjoy the scenery?"

"Don't go, your place is full of evil spirits, I'm afraid the plague will reach me." Yun Bailu's words made He Sanxing's heart "thump" startled.

In fact, Yun Bailu didn't sleep all night, and when he got up, he was restless, because Li Suyue took Lu Jinhua's handwritten letter last night to detour to Shahai.Right now, there are cavalry from Beixia people everywhere, no matter how familiar she is with the route, there is a risk of being discovered, how to get away with it is really worrying.

Shaking his arms, Yun Bailu stepped on the ground with more than an inch of snow, and the snow has not stopped at this moment, and it must be scattered until dark.Reinforcements should have arrived last night, and if it was later, it would be time tonight.

When she was about to leave, she was hurriedly stopped by He Sansheng, "The fate between He and Yun Chengxuan was also from Xiliao to the border of Beixia. You don't know who I am?"

He Sansheng pulled Yun Bailu into the tent, and after pouring her wine, he rubbed his hands and asked with warm eyes, "I still want to ask you, what's wrong with you?"

Yun Bailu waved her hand, as if sitting here impatiently, "Forget it, now that you and I have met, I'll just say it straight." It's her ability to talk nonsense, but she is good at thinking, and she has seen many political situations that her parents have been in before. Whirlpool, "There is no such thing as exuberant evil spirits in the military camp, but evil spirits can be more powerful than soldiers' fighting spirits?"

He Sansheng nodded again and again, but Yun Bailu's words made him leave his seat with hot ass, "It's your position that is too bad. Think about it, the Zhenrong Army is set up for the Lingzhou Grain and Grass Line, and it can open a temporary market. Here This is one of them. Why was the previous Tihat transferred away in a hurry before the gift of the year for such a big and fat person who devours people's tongues?"

"Say... it's going home to observe filial piety." In fact, He Sansheng himself didn't believe this reason.Important matters are imminent, and keeping filial piety is not bad for a few days.How many people will come here as a referee even if they don't make any arrangements.

"It was brought to the front of the imperial court by His Royal Highness Jin, saying that there is a market for the town's army, and people on the business road don't need to go to the states for business. Tea can be sold, silk can be sold, and even salt can be used. Sooner or later, there is no need for it. The grain and grass were transported from the outside. With this business, the Zhenrong army can support itself." Seeing He Sansheng's body tilted, Yun Bailu stretched out his hand, "Guo Shuai is afraid that my brother-in-law will have many dreams at night here."

The cold sweat of Xian Tiju has long covered his forehead, "The envoy Yun Cheng thinks... what's wrong? Could it be that the court wanted to investigate this place, and Guo Shuai asked He to be the scapegoat?"

Yun Bailu took a sip of wine, and was almost choked with laughter at his words, "Scapegoat? Could it be that you will be charged with the crime of pocketing your own money and then sent to the capital, so that the Privy Council Dali Temple's Criminal Department Yushitai can interrogate you together?" Even if this bookish person thinks the worst of things, he will put a layer of gold on his face, "My father who was the coach of the Baosheng Army was captured, and I don't have that kind of treatment."

She was chewing on the venison with her chopsticks, and He Sansheng hurriedly added more wine to her, "How can I bear such a big crime?"

He really couldn't afford it, even if he asked for the stolen money, he couldn't even give it up.Yun Bailu picked up the tongs and fiddled with the brazier, "The dead can bear it." The man in front of her eyes widened in fright, she put down the tongs and clapped her hands, "I have been standing in Shahai for more than two years, and I have participated in the discussion field. The transactions have been at least two years. How many of them were traded with the approval documents of the preconditions, and how much tax money that should have been put into the treasury went into the pockets of the upper and lower? If you really want to check, I am afraid that it is from the three states to the northwest, or even into the capital. I can’t finish talking.” She explained a simple truth to He Sansheng, “Governing a country is like treating a person, there is an ulcer on the skin, if you want to heal quickly, there are two ways: external application of medicinal materials or gouge out the flesh and bones , if you, which one would you use?"

Of course, it is to apply the medicine all over the brain, and it is not that the poison invades the bone, so why learn from Guan Gong?He Sansheng was also a bit smart, he touched the armor on his body and figured it out, "In other words, His Majesty doesn't want to magnify this matter, and he doesn't want the army to steal treasury taxes... I'm also afraid that I will cry out for more More, just...just..."

"Just find a reason to cut this station, and take the dead Tiha to a job. So you say, is there a lot of evil here?" Yun Bailu suddenly pointed outside the tent, "How long have you been here? ?The promised year-end gift delivery is now over. Instead, Shahai City was besieged by Beixia soldiers for two nights and one day. The reinforcements will arrive in a few days. It is your death penalty to miss the opportunity to fight.”

I saw that He Sansheng had already pulled out Guo Yixiao's confidant from his arms, "But Guo Shuai ordered me to stand still and be restrained by my aunt, how could he punish me and delay the battle?"

"You are so stupid." Yun Bailu took the letter and scanned it. "When the time comes, I will kill you first. Even if this letter is found again, who would dare to complain for you? He Guo Yixiao is afraid that you will move, so he can't take it." Your death penalty sent a letter to keep you safe." She grabbed the beans from the plate again and got up, "I have to go out, there is no way to stay in this place."

He Sansheng has a temper, no matter what he is, the commander of the Deshun Army of the Zhenrong Army, he threw his wine bowl and cursed, "You son of a bitch, He has never been discouraged from being excluded from the Imperial Army, and he still wants to go to the Northwest Front One day he will sacrifice his life for the country, but he will be regarded as this stupid donkey waiting to have his head cut off."

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Yun Bailu's words made sense, "Emissary Chengxuan wants to save me. If he sends troops, he will not hesitate to say anything for him in front of King Jin. He is not that greedy. People who are afraid of death, but the reason why a man joins the army is to die for what he deserves?"

"If I don't intend to save you, why am I talking about this with you?" Yun Bailu stuffed a bean into his mouth, "Right now, take care of the Baosheng army first, and don't spare your fodder and rations."

He Sansheng nodded like pecking rice, and suddenly remembered the question from the army, "Then why didn't the Beixia army attack us?"

Yun Bailu's face froze, and then he rolled his eyes and scolded loudly, "Hey, you are in a high place, and it is not easy for cavalry to march together. Besides, people here are easy to attack and difficult to defend, and it is no use for them to take this little territory. Why don't you focus on attacking the sand sea? There is no rush to tidy up here after we are done."

Although He Sansheng joined the army, he never had the habit of focusing on the big picture of war, and immediately believed in Yun Bailu's words, "So, He's life is tied to Shahai and King Jin."

"Smart man." Yun Bailu threw down a compliment and hurriedly looked for Lu Jinhua. When he opened the curtain, he saw Li Suyue standing by the brazier at a glance.

"Yue Niang... you can go back." Yun Bailu saw Li Suyue's eyes were black and blue, and her complexion was hot, she just cheered up and smiled to herself, "I'm back." But Yun Bailu's wrist was retracted under his fingers, Yun Bailu Egret listened to the pulse and said, "It's cold."

"It's okay." Li Suyue looked at Lu Jinhua who was frowning tightly, and saw that she was still thinking, so she told Yun Bailu the situation in Shahai City and Xie Penglai's original words, "The city is well prepared so that the reinforcements will not come. The plan is that I haven't made up my mind on whether to kill that daring Li Jiyan."

Killed, even if King Jin rashly declared war on Beixia, without the court's nod, the prince's move would be tantamount to treason.If you don't kill him, you will be pushed to the marriage bed by Bei Xia and the court sooner or later.

Lu Jinhua handed the letter to Yun Bailu, and sneered, "They used to use this trick. Back then, when the war in the Northwest was on the line, they told your mother and someone surnamed Yun to get married so that they could command the army, but they were seized instead."

"They?" Li Suyue's mind was the clearest, and she still didn't understand the twists and turns.

Yun Bailu explained to her softly, "They are the ones who are peaceful, who are afraid of death, and who don't see my mother in power. My mother is not stupid, why don't you leave yourself a way out?"

Lu Jinhua glanced back at her angrily and with a smile, "A way out? As long as you want to stay in the sea of ​​sand, as long as you want to continue to roll in this chaotic situation, there is no way out for her. Is it possible to stand up The stomach is hidden in the mountains? Her surname is Bai, not Lu."

Thinking of the unsatisfactory past, Lu Jinhua's chest heaved and everyone fell silent.

"Ah Chun will stay by Ah Xie's side, so I don't worry." Lu Jinhua slowed down, "According to Ah Xie's speculation, the reinforcements will not arrive tomorrow night, and these dog fathers are just watching from the sidelines." So Once this happens, Bei Xia will not retreat.

"It's icy and snowy, they can't last long." Yun Bailu walked to the map, "We still have to call Beixia's reinforcements. Even without reinforcements, Shahai can last for more than half a month. Li Jixin and the others can only last for five days at most. I'm still wondering why Jiyingzhai did not have a large group of soldiers and horses, so they were scattered everywhere. The ones who came were the regular iron kite army from Beixia."

In the fierce battles with Beixia in previous years, as long as there is a snowstorm and the walls are cleared, and they are determined not to take the initiative to attack, they can still be tied.Lu Jinhua agreed with Yun Bailu's words, "It's not difficult to get help, the hard part is how long it can last. Without the support of the imperial court, Shahai is an orphan." At this time, she had to think of other ways, "I'll go to Cao Zhiwei, He has friendship with the Yun family and the Bai family, and is an old subordinate of King Shang, so he can't watch King Shang's granddaughter die."

But it's not easy. What if Cao Zhiwei really got a secret order not to send troops?Thinking of this, Lu Jinhua walked to the map and looked at the capital, "Yue Niang, did Axie and the others go to Xin Capital to find King Ying?"

"Find King Jin's brother? What if the brother also agrees to this approach?" Yun Bailu snorted, seeing Li Suyue was shocked, she explained, "They are from the Zhao family in Jiamaying, Luoyang. Even the brothers and sisters are no better than our ordinary family. It's hard to do it."

"I didn't send a letter to the capital, and I didn't confront that Northern Xia envoy." Li Suyue recalled Xie Penglai's words carefully, and shook her head resolutely.

"That's right." Yun Bailu and Lu Jinhua said together.

Yun Bailu laughed, "Just insist that the people outside are Li Jiyan's horse thieves, and pretend that they don't know about the changes in Beixia, so that King Jin can go all out to fight. As for us, we don't have to worry about big things. Let's go and disturb Beixia's Fortress border. Burn. I don't believe that Beixia is also monolithic, and the other clan ministers really just watch Li Jiyan and the others make trouble?"

Lu Jinhua narrowed her eyes, and looked at Yun Bailu with a complicated expression, "You are just like your mother, with a stomach full of bad water." She still smiled, "Then can you shout for nearly a thousand soldiers?"

"I just fooled Na Tisha," Yun Bailu saw Li Suyue looked at him seriously, and then excused himself, "It's because he understood it with reason and moved him to benefit...that is, if he was frightened, even if Guo Yixiao ordered him not to move. He also wants to move... that is, Yueniang, I—" She wanted to say that she didn't have so much trouble.

But Li Suyue's eyes curled up, "I understand, how can this joint be as rigid as our small business?" She could see Yun Bailu's nervousness in her eyes, and the light that suddenly gathered in her eyes was also reflected in her heart, but Li Suyue was embarrassed by her staring at this moment, and turned to Lu Jinhua seriously, "Master, Axie also asked me to bring you a bag of lion candy, and told me to watch you take medicine."

Lu Jinhua took the candy, "This child, why do you still carry sweet fruit with you when you are fighting?" She opened the paper bag and twisted a piece in her hand, "Ah Xie, how is it?"

When Li Suyue saw Xie Penglai, she was on the corner tower of the city wall, her hair was unkempt, her face was dirty and her clothes were dirty. Xie Penglai looked at King Jin with a guilty conscience.

"It seems that Axie—" Li Suyue doesn't like to use other people as a talking point, "Axie is very energetic." Yes, that is the popularity she rarely sees in Xie Penglai, "Axie will definitely be a henpeck in the future Yes." Li Suyue swallowed the half sentence in her heart.
