Luoshui Dongliu

For the next two or three days, Pei Yu and Li Ji were both in Longhua Mountain.Except for the notes presented by Huiming, the rest were transcribed by Li Ji separately, and the first copy was the hydrological examination of the Luohe River.Seeing this situation, Huiming thought that Pei Yu really wanted to collect local geographical documents, and he didn't take it too seriously.After noon on the third day, Li Ji held the scroll and went to see Pei Yu, but he saw that there was a guard in Pei Yu's place.When Pei Yu saw him, he said, "Get ready to go back to camp."

Li Ji said, "Leave today?"

Pei Yu smiled and said, "Are you still thinking about this place?" Seeing Li Ji shaking his head in a hurry, he suddenly sneered, "I'll hurry back tonight, I don't think I'll miss the good show of raising the account tomorrow."

Li Ji went to prepare.The two of them came here to pack lightly, and there was nothing extra to tidy up.Li Ji just took a moment to ask the guard: "Brother looks familiar to you."

The guard saluted: "I am in front of General Min Yu. General Min sent me here to report something to the supervising army."

Li Ji listened, nodded slightly, and didn't ask any more questions.

In the evening, a group of people approached the camp.Pei Yu said to the guard, "Go back first."

The guard said: "There are some things that General Min wants to tell the supervising army face to face."

Pei Yu said: "I know it well. You just tell him, and you can do whatever you want."

The guard hesitated for a moment, then said "obey the order" and left.Pei Yu reined in the reins for the time being, so he turned to Li Ji and said, "After you return to the camp, hand over the hydrology test to Fan Yi and tell him to take care of it." Then he said, "I'm going to see Yu Chiyuan tonight. Once it's done, Fan Yi's matter will be arranged by someone else, remember not to teach other people to know."

Li Ji said softly: "But... what happened in the army?"

Pei Yu sneered and said, "It's just a little turbulence, it's okay. It's just that some people can't bear it, and they think that such a big turmoil has arisen."

The next day, Lieutenant Chi Yuan of the Xiyan Army was promoted to his tent, and all the generals in the camp were present.Everyone saw that Pei Yu and Yu Chiyuan were living together at the top, each had their own speculations in their hearts, and they just kept silent.

Yu Chiyuan first asked how the fortifications on the earth and hills before the battle were done, and the generals below reported that even the bows and arrows on the city could not do anything to carry the earth bags under the cover of the trenches and long ditches.In a few days, the fortifications have taken shape.Pei Yu interjected, "There is no rush to repair the fortifications to the west."

The general saluted and said: "I have received orders from the supervising army before, and now the main repairs are all in the southeast."

The main force of the Xiyan army was stationed in the west, but it happened that only this upward project had to be delayed.Some people in the audience were puzzled, but no one asked.During Pei Yu's absence for these two days, the camp was like an undercurrent surging under the waves of calm water.Today's account increase, everyone is thinking about it, but in fact, no one's eyes are really on the offensive.At this moment, after the general responded and retreated, the scene became quiet for a while.

Although everyone didn't speak, they all secretly looked at the expressions of the general and the supervising army sitting on the seat, unexpectedly seeing that Wei Chiyuan was also looking down at the seat.After a while, Yu Chiyuan said: "I vaguely heard that something was dug up in the camp a few days ago, but no one reported it to me. What's going on?"

This sentence is on today's topic.Everyone obviously knew about this, and some of them couldn't hold their breath, so they glanced at the two people in the seat intentionally or unintentionally.

The two who were peeped by everyone were Li Yun and Wang Cong. The origins of these two people are also worth mentioning.These two people had followed Yuchihu in front of him during the previous battles.Yuchihu is the son of the elder brother of Taishi Weichi Fuji, the youngest son of the family, and his elder brother is more than ten years older than him; therefore, although Yuchihu is a nephew or not, his age is not much different, and now he is Middle age.In the early years when Yuchi Fuji went to war, Yuchi was in charge of logistics transfer, and he was praised by him for his safe and proper handling of affairs. He even said to the people around him that "this son is like me".Now among Yuchi Fuji's brothers' generation, everyone is old, and among his nephew's generation, in terms of seniority and ability, the one he can rely on most is Yuchihu.

Pei Yu looked at the expressions of everyone in the audience, and he laughed in his heart, everyone knew the news of the grand master's illness.There was also a slight sneer on the corners of his lips, he thought to himself, the Grand Master may not recover, but Yu Chihu has already moved these thoughts as if he was holding power.

He watched with cold eyes and did not make a sound, but saw Li Yun and Wang Cong looking at each other, Li Yun got up and said: "General, my subordinates dug up something in the camp."

Yu Chiyuan said: "What is it?"

Li Yundao: "It's an animal bone."

While speaking, a guard came in, holding a fan-shaped bone and placed it in front of Yu Chiyuan.Yu Chiyuan squinted his eyes, and only heard Li Yun continue: "The soldiers in the camp dug up this when they were digging the soil. In fact, the general didn't know what it was, but it happened to be seen by the fortune-tellers in the camp. Only after seeing it did I know it. The rarity of things."

He stopped at this point, as if he was playing tricks.Yu Chiyuan looked at him and said, "What did the fortune teller say?"

Li Yun seemed to hesitate a little, looked around again but hesitated to speak, and said for a while: "After listening to the fortune teller's explanation, the general only felt that the matter was of great importance, so he never reported it."

He was playing tricks, with a look of embarrassment on his face.Wang Cong got up and said, "It's better to invite a fortune teller to explain to the general."

Yu Chiyuan looked down at the animal bone, which looked like the shoulder blade of a cow or horse, with some strange characters engraved on it.After looking at it for a while, he raised his head and said, "The things are already here, and it will take a lot of time to ask a fortune teller, so you just learn to explain it again."

Li Yundao: "The fortune teller said that this animal bone was used for divination by the royal family in the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and it was the most effective way to ask about good and bad luck. It is engraved with important events for divination, and is usually preserved. When it is used, it is taken out and heated with fire, and the cracks are read for divination. He looked at it carefully, and said, this piece is used to predict the good or bad of the war."

His words are getting closer to the point.This time, it was because they knew that Yu Chiyuan believed in divination the most.Only Yu Chiyuan asked: "What's next?"

Li Yun also felt his heart pounding, he stabilized his mind and said: "It's a big matter, I think there are a few generals not far away, so I invited them to come and watch." After finishing speaking, he looked at Yuchi Zhong and Min Yu glanced at each other.

Yu Chiyuan said: "Don't you gossip, what are you talking about?"

This is when Tu Qiong saw him, he only heard Li Yun say: "It is not good to use troops, and it is better to withdraw."

At this time, in the full tent, no one made a sound, as quiet as being in a tomb.In fact, Li and Wang had spread the news secretly in the camp, and everyone knew about it, but at this moment it was finally made public.Luocheng could not be attacked for a long time, and the grand master in the court was sick; the most important thing in the army was not how to attack Luocheng in the eyes of everyone, but whether to withdraw the army at this moment.The hands stretching out for power in the Xijing court have begun to wrestle secretly. The fierce battle in front of Los Angeles is related to the lifelong wish of going east to the Central Plains and setting the world, but it may be just a part of the power game pieces.

In the silence, one person laughed lightly and said: "That's interesting. But where did this piece of bone come out out of nowhere?" The voice was as cold as cold wind blowing through the decaying grass in front of the grave, and everyone was terrified.You don't need to look to know that it was Pei Yu who spoke.

Seeing that it was him, Li Yun was already prepared in his heart. He bowed and said, "The supervisor doesn't know something. This is the former capital of the Yin and Shang kingdoms. Merchants value this way the most, and it's not surprising that there are a few pieces of divination scattered here. .”

Pei Yu said: "You are well-read," but his tone was full of sarcasm, "It's a pity that you don't understand the anecdote of ancient times. The ancient capital of Yin and Shang is adjacent to Huanshui, and there is still more than a day's journey away. You can do it again." When it comes to these mysteries, read a few more books first."

Using the technique of divination as one's own mouthpiece, this was not uncommon in previous dynasties, and everyone knew it well.Li Yun used this as a reason to withdraw the troops, as if the date had been set early, and Pei Yu simply got angry because of this, implying that this thing is a fake and not worth trusting.Li Yun just used this as an introduction, and he never studied it carefully to get a better understanding. After hearing this, he was a little dazed for a while, and didn't know how to refute it.He was tongue-tied, Wang Cong became anxious when he saw this, and said from the side: "This matter of divination is very solemn, how can you talk about it arbitrarily?"

Pei Yu laughed and said, "Serious? I don't know. I only know that Wang Sheng, who was favored by Empress Dowager Feng during Emperor Wen's reign, made a living by selling divination with his father when he and his father moved to Liangzhou due to the war. , but I don’t know where the solemnity is. The empress dowager passed away, and Wang Sheng was not tolerated by Emperor Wen. If the divination was really effective, how could he not figure out the fate of his own death? The previous dynasty invaded Rouran, and the guard actually believed in the divination. Come without fortification, delaying the military aircraft, you can see the harm; there are two ways of good and bad, whoever shoots at the odd and even, will naturally receive half of it, how can it be trusted? Why do those who have a clear conscience believe in gods and ask divination if they don’t seek profit? In the past and present dynasties, private possession of books on prophecy, yin and yang, and tricks by the people is forbidden, just to prevent villains from using them to cause chaos!”

He said this in a fit of anger, how could Li and Wang resist with their tongues?They were stunned for a while, and everyone was slightly taken by the momentum.But Pei Yu went on to say, "If it's serious, the two of you should offer it to the commander of the battalion immediately after you get it. Is this private and secret divination also for the sake of solemnity? Using this matter as a cover is actually a lie But to disturb the morale of the army, its heart can be punished!"

When he said the words "shake the morale of the army", it was like lifting the curtain with one word, and everyone's heart skipped a beat, they couldn't help but hold their breath.

Li Yun and Wang Cong seemed to calm down after hearing this.In fact, everyone knows where the root of this matter is. Now that the words have been made clear, there is no need to be verbose.Most of the people present were just waiting and watching. At this time, whether they were advancing or retreating, they were actually unwilling to reconcile and unable to make up their minds.No need to say who Li and Wang are speaking for, Pei Yu is not willing to withdraw the troops, no surprises, the bargaining chip is actually in Yu Chiyuan's hands at this moment.But Yu Chiyuan lowered his eyes slightly, like an old monk in meditation, without saying a word.

These two men only felt that Yu Chiyuan and Pei Yu were not on good terms from the matter of Min Yu, and when they faked divination, they found Yu Chizhong just to test them out, and then they secretly observed Yu Chiyuan's movements, and the more they watched, the more they felt him Nine out of ten are in favor of withdrawal.Besides, he didn't see him supporting Pei Yu at this moment, and felt that the general's heart was on his side.Wang Cong then said: "The superintendent talked about the morale of the army - does the superintendent really know what the morale of the military is at this time?"

Pei Yu laughed and said, "I don't know if I think about it, but you do?"

Wang Cong thought in his heart that he had to take a gamble at this time, so he said loudly: "The army's mind is back!"

Pei Yu suddenly clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Okay!"

Wang Cong didn't expect him to be like this, and he didn't know why he shouted, but he was stunned on the spot.I only heard Pei Yu say: "You only said that the army is thinking of returning, who did you ask?" After saying that, he swept down the seat, and everyone felt a chill down their backs. Pei Yu turned to look at Yu Chiyuan, and said with a smile: "General Yuchi How to say?"

Everyone was in awe again, Wang Cong and Li Yun stared at Yu Chiyuan, waiting for him to turn Pei Yu's face off with a word.But Yu Chiyuan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I don't know where I said that."

When this sentence came out, everyone knew it in their hearts, but Li and Wang were dumbfounded as if they were dumbfounded.Seeing their behavior, Pei Yu just sneered.He said today that he would never give up a way out, even if he had reached an agreement with Yu Chiyuan last night.Everyone in the army is afraid of difficulties and tired of fighting, but they also have intentions, but the two of them here only thought that they would get all the answers with a wave of their arms, and they really made a mistake.

Pei Yu said: "You two talk about it for yourself, what should you do to confuse the army?"

Li Yun was flustered, and said: "How did the two of us ever confuse the army?"

Pei Yu said: "You are so panicked, I'm afraid you also understand what the end of this should be." Turning his head, he said, "I'm tied up, and I will use these two people to sacrifice the flag today!"

Wang Cong understood a little bit in his heart, he was confident at first, but he felt that now that Yuchi was seriously ill, Pei Yu should be afraid of Yuchihu; but with these few words, he was about to lose his head, and couldn't help shouting: " You have always been too arrogant to kill and attack while the general has not spoken!" One side said to Yu Chiyuan, "General!" Seeing that Yu Chiyuan did nothing, he said to Pei Yu, "You, what are you doing? right?"

Pei Yu looked at him and said coldly: "The grand master gave me full power, do you dare to deny that?"

When this sentence came out, everyone was shocked, and it was at this time that they woke up like a dream: Even if the Grand Master is sick, it is only sick after all.Suddenly heard a slight rustling sound, it turned out that everyone secretly straightened their clothes and straightened their backs, and straightened their sitting postures.

The guards came up and bound the two of them. Li Yun only felt that the general situation was gone, and his body was half limp; Wang Cong was still struggling, and shouted to himself: "I'm just waiting for divination, so how can I confuse the army!" What's so good, he suddenly shouted, "I was not the only one present at the time! General Yuchi Zhong and Min Yu were also there!"

The two of them dragged these two people here at that time, they invited Yu Chizhong to test Yu Chiyuan, and they called Min Yu, but it was to drag them into the water.At this moment, when he thought of this paragraph, it was like grabbing a life-saving straw.The corners of Pei Yu's lips pursed slightly, and he only glanced at Wei Chiyuan.

Yu Chiyuan said calmly: "Ah Zhong reported this matter to me, and told me at that time that such a matter should be severely punished and should not be tolerated lightly."Wang Cong suddenly laughed and said, "Then General Min Yu proved his innocence to whom!"

Min Yu was just silent at first, but he didn't want to be taken along at this time.He sent a letter to Pei Yu, but secretly reported to the officials about his actions. How do you say this?Just now Yu Chiyuan mentioned Yuchizhong as a brother, so he also mentioned Yuchizhong to make a clear statement.Wang Cong took this matter to bite him, but also with a lot of vicious malice.He only felt that people on both sides were looking at him, and his face couldn't help but flush.

He only heard Pei Yu say: "General Min didn't report this to me," and turned to look at Yu Chiyuan.Yu Chiyuan smiled playfully and said, "I've never heard what he said either."

After hearing this, Min Yu suddenly felt relieved.I only heard Wang Cong shouting to himself, "Since that's the case, if it's about supervising the army, he can't get away with it!" He couldn't help laughing, raised his head and said, "I only thought this was absurd, so I didn't pay attention to it, but I didn't think it was Helped these two people to be confused." Turning to Wang Cong, "If the general picks me up and feels wronged, I will accompany the general for any crime."

Pei Yu rubbed his knuckles and looked at Wang Cong and said, "General Min's troops are performing exercises every day. You accuse him of being as fearful of the enemy as you are, but you have found the wrong person."

Wang Cong laughed loudly and said, "I know you are partial to him, even if he is not guilty of the same crime, he is still covering up!"

When Pei Yu heard the word "partial", he blinked slightly, looked at Wang Cong for a moment, and said, "Punisher," and then said, "What should you do according to military regulations?"

A criminal officer on the side said: "Forty sticks for the army."

Pei Yu nodded slightly, and said: "Those who confuse the army's mind will be cut off, and those who shield them will be punished. Before the battle, it is also necessary to establish a whole army discipline." He added, "Shut Wang Cong and Li Yun to the gate, and take Min Yu outside the tent. Execution."

There was a moment of silence in the tent, and Wang Cong's shouting stopped abruptly, and he was dragged out.Everyone on the side looked at each other, all a little uneasy.It was beyond everyone's expectation that Min Yu was blamed.Although the current royal family is just the puppets of Yuchi Poji, the empress is still an empress after all.Empress Min's mother's family is also from the Guanlong family. When the emperor ascended the throne, in order to win the support of the Guanlong nobles, under the pressure of the Yuchi family, the late empress was sent to the temple to become a monk, and the Min family was appointed as the queen. This also shows that the Min family The glorious glory in Xijing.At this time, even if it is not mentioned that Min Yu is a relative of the emperor and a serious son of a prominent family, the former Fan Wei Chiyuan just said a few heavy words.Now that Pei Yu gave him such a heavy responsibility before others, it was not sympathetic enough.

Yu Chizhong said from the side: "General Min's beating is going to be wronged. Besides, if the supervisor is like this, I have to ask for punishment?" People on both sides also said: "This Wang Cong just said those words because he was scared crazy. Already, why should the superintendent be serious about a fool."

Everyone was willing to do this, but one part felt that they couldn't bear it, and the other part also looked at Min Yu's identity.After hearing this, Pei Yu nodded and said, "Okay, since there are people begging for mercy," he stretched out two fingers and said, "Anyone who begs for mercy will add twenty, who else will come?"

Everyone thought that giving a step would be vague, and they didn't want to backfire and cause more trouble for no reason. They were all surprised, but they didn't dare to make a sound. They saw the sergeant pushing Min Yu out.
