Rebirth Wenli Yangfulang

Chapter 45 Victory

The commander-in-chief turned the crisis into safety, successfully attacked the enemy camp at night, and the morale of the army was high.The army continued to move forward, going deep into the hinterland of the Southwest.

The Southwest King assembled a small force and blocked the imperial army on the other side of a fast-flowing long river.

After Su Qin surveyed the coast, he came back and reported: "Your Majesty, the current is too strong to sail. The only cable bridge near here was destroyed by the rebels. If we make a detour, it will take at least five or six days longer, and it will also Dangerous."

When Li Chengyun was discussing with the general, Luo Chengyu came to the river.

He picked up a stone and threw it into the water, and the larger ripples slowly faded away, which is a reflection of the depth of the water.

Luo Chengyu murmured, "Without a boat or a bridge, how can we cross the river?"

At this time, a fish raised its head on the water and made a splash, and a bird suddenly caught it and flew away.

Luo Chengyu thought in a daze, probably he could only swim or fly over.

"It's windy, put on some clothes."

Li Chengyun took a coat and put it on for him.

Luo Chengyu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, grabbed Li Chengyun's hand and said hastily: "Li Jiu and Xiao Shi's lightness kung fu is very good, right?"

"Yes." Li Chengyun thought quickly, "You can cross the river if you quit the two of them, but the army can't."

Luo Chengyu curled his lips and said, "I have heard my father say that in some places, the mountains and rivers are steep and the rivers are fast-moving. There is no way to build bridges. The local people cross the river with a rope, one end is tied to the mountain, and the other end is tied to the other bank. .”

Li Chengyun nodded, "This is a zipline, it's too dangerous."

"If you want to break the deadlock right now, maybe you can try this method. First let those who are good at lightness kung fu jump to the opposite bank with one end of the leather rope, and the others will use the zipline to cross. The number of people does not need to be too many, ten people are enough."

Li Chengyun's eyes lit up, "What's your idea?"

"You generals are fans of the authorities. The reason why the rebels destroyed the cable bridge was to prevent our army from passing. But most of the soldiers at the bottom are locals from the southwest. How could you not leave a way out?"

Li Chengyun understood, "The way to cross the river is with the rebels." He was so happy that he kissed Luo Chengyu on the face, and then summoned the generals to discuss matters again.

It was night, and Li Jiu and Xiao Shi took one end of the leather rope to the other side with Qinggong.Then, more than a dozen people also came over by sliding rope.

They sneaked into the rear of the enemy camp, giving the appearance of an army coming from behind.

The rebel scout reported: "General, all the camps on the other side are gone, and everyone is gone."

The general said anxiously: "They don't know where they made a detour to our rear, and they are about to kill them."

Others said anxiously: "General, we are small in number, and we are not enough to fight with the imperial army."

The general thought for a moment and ordered: "Let's retreat to the other side."

It turned out that twenty miles upstream from the camp, there was a painted rope bridge covered with weeds and hidden under the water.Stepping on this cable bridge, the water is at most below the knees.

When the small part of the Southwest King's troops crossed the river, the imperial army wiped them out on the river side, and then followed the hidden cable bridge to the opposite bank, and continued to set off for the Southwest King's location.

The King of Southwest gathered all his troops to chase and intercept the imperial army, but the strategy failed to achieve a frontal fight.

More and more wounded soldiers were being sent back from the front line, and the military doctors, imperial doctors, and Yin were all busy non-stop.

Luo Chengyu took Mu Sheng to fight in the wounded barracks, and the white robe and apron were also stained with a lot of blood.

No, another wounded soldier was sent in, with wounds all over his head and body, dripping with blood.

Liao Yin asked Luo Chengyu to hold the wounded soldier so that he would not move around, and then quickly cleaned and stitched the wound for him.

The young wounded soldier was dying of pain. Although he didn't cry, he said in pain and despair: "There is no need for treatment. Anyway, I am an orphan and I haven't asked for a wife."

Luo Chengyu felt extremely uncomfortable hearing this, and taught him like an elder: "Don't talk nonsense, when this battle is won, I will personally find you a wife."

The comrade-in-arms beside him wiped away his tears fiercely, and said: "Did you hear that, the princess said that she wanted to find a wife for you, so she must survive, or she would suffer a big loss."

The battle lasted for three days and three nights, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.

The moment Li Chengyun returned in blood, the moment Luo Chengyu saw him, the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

Li Chengyun dismounted, his armor was covered in blood.

Luo Chengyu had a sore nose, and mist filled his eyes. "Where is it hurt?" The voice fell, and tears fell.

Li Chengyun raised his hand to touch his head, but when he realized that his hand was full of stains, he took it back.

Luo Chengyu hurriedly grabbed the hand he wanted to take back with both hands and put it on her head, "Touch it if you want, do you need to take it back?" It was so fierce.

The corners of Li Chengyun's lips raised slowly involuntarily, "Most of the blood on my body is from the enemy, I only suffered a little skin trauma."

Hearing this, Luo Chengyu hurriedly dragged him into the account, opened the medicine box and said, "Take off your clothes."

Seeing his serious expression, Li Chengyun heard him sniff again, quickly took off his armor and unbuttoned his clothes.

Luo Chengyu carefully checked his whole body, and he was relieved after confirming that there were only minor injuries, and then he personally applied medicine to bandage him.

Li Chengyun said: "The dressing technique is very skillful."

"During the past three days, I practiced bandaging the wounds of wounded soldiers." After speaking, Luo Chengyu treated the last wound.

Li Chengyun was silent, feeling endlessly distressed.

"I'll arrange someone to take you back to Beijing."

In an instant, Luo Chengyu gave him a self-assessing look.

"Chengyu, I'm worried if you continue to stay."

"I'll be relieved if I leave?" Luo Chengyu sneered, "The army has penetrated deep into the southwestern hinterland and is approaching the royal city, so you're not worried that I won't be able to get out of the southwest border?"

Li Chengyun was silent, thinking about what to do to ensure Luo Chengyu's safety.

Before he could figure it out, Luo Chengyu sneered again, and said, "Also, who ever said that they would never be separated from me? What they said doesn't count?"

Li Chengyun was speechless by what he said.

Before Li Chengyun could speak, Luo Chengyu let out a cold snort and walked out of the tent.

He still has to continue to take care of the wounded soldiers. The injuries on those wounded soldiers are much more serious than this bastard, and they need him even more!

Li Chengyun sighed softly, quickly put on his clothes, and went to the wounded barracks to check and appease him.

"My lord, we are fine, we will get better."

"My lord, the princess has been busy taking care of our injuries these days, and she hasn't had a good rest."

The wounded soldiers spoke one by one, and finally let Li Chengyun know how Luo Chengyu spent these three days.

He quietly looked at Luo Chengyu who was so busy, his heart was soft.

Li Chengyun didn't bother Luo Chengyu, but went back to the main tent of the Chinese army to continue studying the battle situation.

Luo Chengyu was thinking about Li Chengyun in his heart, and when it was time to eat, he walked into the Chinese army tent with the food for the two of them.

"Wash your hands and eat first."

"it is good."

Li Chengyun quickly wiped his face and washed his hands, and then served his wife's meal.

"I have been to the wounded barracks, and the seriously wounded have been treated."

"Ah."

"Chengyu, you have helped me a lot."

"Humph."

"You stay, I will protect you."

"It should have been said a long time ago." Luo Chengyu snorted softly, "You have injuries on your body, you shouldn't touch the water, I'll help you wipe your body later."

"You haven't had a good rest these days, let someone else wipe it."

"Who do you want to show naked?" Luo Chengyu squinted at him coolly.

Immediately, Li Chengyun's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said, "I just want to show you, I just love you."

"Hmph, make it up to me after you win the battle and return to Beijing."

"necessary."

Late at night, Li Chengyun hugged Luo Chengyu and lay on the couch, absorbing each other's warmth.

Luo Chengyu couldn't help but sighed in a muffled voice: "How long will this battle be over?"

"It's common for a battle to be fought for several years. This counter-insurgency has been fought very quickly. After resting in place for two days, I ordered to continue to move forward, and strive to capture the Southwest King City as soon as possible."

"Beware of arrogance and impetuosity, stability is the most important thing. There is no need to risk the lives of soldiers."

Li Chengyun couldn't help laughing softly, and rubbed his head against his head, "Yeah."

His side suffered heavy casualties, and the rebels suffered even worse losses.

Therefore, the king of the Southwest forced the militia to join the army, and the old, young, sick and weak were not spared, which caused complaints from all ethnic groups in the Southwest.

Two days later, the army set off.

A guide begged to see Li Chengyun and said, "My lord, the head of Yunzhai wants to see you."

"Do you know that headman?" Li Chengyun knew that the so-called headman was the leader of the tribe.

"Returning to the prince, the villain has been favored by the Wutou people in Yunzhaier."

After careful consideration, Li Chengyun finally decided to go to Yunzhai to meet their leader.

Luo Chengyu wanted to go together, but was left in the army by Li Chengyun, who was so angry that he ignored him all day.

Yunzhai has been oppressed by the Southwest King for a long time, and the grievances have run deep.Recently, the young and strong people in the village were forcibly taken to fight, and many of them lost their lives.

Erwutou said to Li Chengyun: "As long as the imperial court can guarantee that we will not impose excessive taxes on us in the future, and wantonly recruit young men, Erwu is willing to join forces with other villages and tribes to help the prince."

Li Chengyun thought for a moment, and said: "This king can not only guarantee that the things that the Erwutou people are worried about will not happen, but also ask the emperor to issue a decree for the autonomy of all ethnic groups."

With the help of these people, the imperial army drove straight in, and went directly to the southwestern king's royal city from a place where the rebels could not see.

When the army broke through the city and came to the Southwest Palace, they were told that the Southwest King had abandoned the city and fled.

Li Chengyun quickly sent someone to chase after him.

Luo Chengyu helped to count the items in the Southwest Palace, and found that there were very few valuable items.

The family members of the King of Southwest were detained in front of the meeting hall, and one of the concubines was quite pretty and was very favored.

"My lord, we were all captured by the Southwest King. We were all oppressed and persecuted by him. He and the prince escaped, leaving us poor people behind." Poured into Li Chengyun's arms.

Li Chengyun turned sideways to avoid it, and said coldly: "Drag her down and give it to the brothers."

The concubine was startled, and hurriedly kowtowed to beg for mercy: "My lord, I know where the King of Southwest has fled, so I beg my lord to spare me."

Li Chengyun waved his hand, motioning for the soldiers to let her go, "Say."

"My concubine once heard from the King of Southwest that he secretly contacted the King of Huainan, and said that if he failed to rebel, he would go to the King of Huainan and wait for an opportunity to make a comeback."

Li Chengyun frowned slightly, and quickly sent an additional team to hunt down the Southwest Prince and his son.

Luo Chengyu, who stood at the corner and watched quietly for a while, walked over slowly, and said to Li Chengyun, "The King of Southwest took away all the treasures in the mansion, and they shouldn't be far away."

"You are exhausted after following me these days. I have asked Mu Sheng to pack up and come out. Go and rest." Li Chengyun hugged him and was about to send him to the backyard.

"Wait a minute first." When Luo Chengyu saw these family members of the Southwest King, he suddenly had doubts. He took Li Chengyun's hand away and walked in front of an older woman.

"You are the princess of the Southwest."

"It's a concubine." Compared with those concubines who are charming and glamorous, Princess Xixi's clothes are plain, and at first glance, people may mistake her for a decent mother in charge.

Luo Chengyu couldn't help pondering slightly. He learned from Xiaoshi that the reason why Zhao Moen, the former chief servant, poisoned the emperor was to become the daughter of the new princess of the Southwest Prince, but this princess didn't look like Zhao Moen's daughter at all.

"Are you a local?"

"The concubine's father is a local gentry." More than 20 years ago, the Southwest Palace had a financial deficit. In order to survive the economic crisis, the Southwest King married the princess back.

Luo Chengyu glanced around at the concubines, and asked, "Is there anyone with the surname Zhao?"

None of the concubines answered, trembling.

The Princess of the Southwest said: "Prince of the County, there are two concubines surnamed Zhao, both of whom are ordinary locals." It is not difficult for her to see that the Princess of the County is looking for a person with the surname Zhao who is not from the Southwest.

Luo Chengyu turned around and said to Li Chengyun: "I promised Eunuch Zhao before that I would find his daughter for him and save her life. It seems that Eunuch Zhao's daughter is not here."

Li Chengyun understood his intention in an instant, and cooperatingly comforted him: "You have tried your best. If Eunuch Zhao knows, he will not blame you."

At this time, the concubine who was almost thrown by Li Chengyun to be a military prostitute hurriedly said: "My concubine's surname is Zhao, and I am the person the concubine is looking for."

"Oh?" Luo Chengyu raised his eyebrows, "What's Eunuch Zhao's full name? How did you get separated?"

"His name is Zhao Mo'en. He entered the palace and became a eunuch when I was just born. At that time, his family was poor, so he had no choice but to enter the palace."

"Zhao Mo'en intends to poison the emperor and punish the nine clans." Luo Chengyu narrowed his eyes dangerously. He saw the scene of this woman trying to seduce Li Chengyun.

The concubine was stunned, and hurriedly kowtowed to beg for mercy. "No, no, the concubine is confused. In fact, Zhao Mo'en's daughter is a maid of the concubine, and that maid died long ago."

Li Chengyun gestured to drag the woman down.

Luo Chengyu said to Li Chengyun: "I saw the Southwest Princess just now, and I was curious about it. I didn't expect it to be so. I really don't deserve it for Eunuch Zhao."

According to his judgment, what the concubine said in the end was the truth, Zhao Moen's daughter had long since passed away, and what the Southwest King gave Zhao Moen was false news.

Li Chengyun hugged him and left, "Forget about these things, what you need most now is rest."

There is a water pavilion in the backyard of the Southwest Prince's Mansion, which is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is the daily enjoyment place of King Southwest.Mu Sheng led people to clean the place from the inside to the outside, and also changed all the veils, sheets and bedding.

Li Chengyun pressed Luo Chengyu to lie down, "Go to sleep for a while, and I'll come over after I finish my work."

Luo Chengyu quickly grabbed his arm, "The king of Southwest abandoned the city and fled, and the others lost their backbone, so there is nothing to be afraid of. You are the coach, so you don't have to do everything yourself."

Li Chengyun was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "Okay, I'll lie down with you for a while."
