Lanling Ji

Chapter 49 [Lanling King]

"Ning'er, there is a knot here, help me untie it, I can't reach it." When Ye Lanling returned to the barracks, the first thing he did was to take off this very heavy armor.

"Okay. Brother Ye, are you tired? Let me help you beat it."

"Hehe, Ning'er really thinks that I have no strength to restrain a chicken. Now I am not suffering from illness, but I am quite powerful." Ye Lanling looked at the thick stack of recording paper in Shen Ning's hand, and patted his hand. Shoulder, "It's Ning'er, after a busy day, go and take a good rest. Oh, yes, and Master Yu..."

"I'm here." Yu Wenxian stood behind Ye Lanling, waving a fan with a smile, and handed the paper in front of him, "You really have a way, so that the problem of food and grass can be solved easily. However, Yu There are still two things that I don't quite understand, I hope the general can enlighten me."

"Master Yu, when you say this, you are quite out of touch." Ye Lanling took Yu Wenxian's stack of papers and handed it to Shen Ning beside him, "If you have any questions, just speak up, we are all friends."

"Okay! What a good friend said bluntly, then Yumou will no longer stick to etiquette." Yuwen smiled enviously, "First, how did you know that the Qi soldiers took away the people's food and grass?"

"This is thanks to Bai Ze's help." Ye Lanling smiled slightly, looked at Bai Ze who was still resting in the corner, leaned forward, and picked him up, "Yesterday I asked Bai Ze to take me to sneak into Luoyang City and visit the city at night." People, this confirms my previous thoughts."

"previously?"

"That's right. Back then, the soldiers of Qi had prepared enough food and grass for a month, and the people in Luoyang City should have enough food for a few days, but the fact is that it was empty. This makes me guess that the soldiers used strong tactics when they entered the city. And the people of Luoyang are not stupid people, they will naturally find ways to protect their hope of survival, and come to the end of this war that no one knows when it will end."

"But you know when it's over." Yu Wenxian squinted her eyes, looking at Ye Lanling who was calm and calm, "Otherwise you wouldn't say that the food will be returned after four days."

"Hehe." Ye Lanling chuckled, "Sure enough, you can't hide anything from Master Yu."

Hearing this, Yu Wenxian raised her eyebrows.

"Then let me just say it." Ye Lanling put down Bai Ze who had woken up, and said, "I speculate that after four days, Zhou Bing will ambush our reinforcements again. First, although I don't know why they are not with us Attack Luoyang City before arriving at the barracks, but I know that there are enemy spies among our soldiers. Since they can know the first reprieve, they will surely know the second reprieve. Second, there are only [-] Zhou soldiers, and we There are now [-] soldiers. After all, five to eight greatly reduces the chance of winning. And the current situation of our soldiers is that there is no food and grass, so after four days of reinforcements, we have dealt with [-] Qi soldiers. Therefore, I speculate that Zhou Bing Will definitely ambush food and grass again."

"You..." Yu Wenxian was startled after hearing Ye Lanling's analysis, "So you are proficient in military theory."

"Your Majesty Yu is too much." Ye Lanling smiled and shook his head, "I have no research on the battle formation, I just speculate according to common sense."

"Then how are you going to deal with Zhou's elite soldiers?"

"I have thought about this on the way here. The place where I was ambushed last time was in a mountain stream hundreds of kilometers away, with towering stone slopes on both sides. At that time, we only need to send two teams to hide in the stone slopes Among them, when the Zhou soldiers made a surprise attack, they pushed down the boulders in the slope, so that the enemy soldiers were like turtles in a urn. Then, the soldiers from the barracks would drive straight in, and wipe out the Zhou camp that had dispersed their forces in one fell swoop. After that, the battle could be ended and the Luoyang City."

"You..." Yu Wenxian stared at Ye Lanling, who was thoughtful and strategic, in surprise, and murmured, "You are really a star."

"Report! Report to the general." A small soldier came into the account loudly, "All the food and grass in the city have been mobilized."

"Approximately how many? How many days can it last?"

"Reporting to the general, there are ten carts in total, which can last for more than five days."

"Great." Ye Lanling laughed, "Vice General Chuan Wan and Bu Bingtou will come here immediately, I have something important to discuss."

"Follow the order!"

Four days later, as Ye Lanling predicted, Zhou Bing sent [-] troops to ambush the Qi soldiers to provide food, but they were counter-ambushed.At the same time, Ye Lanling led [-] cavalry to rush into the Zhou Bing barracks. When the enemy was unsuspecting, he was caught off guard and successfully saved the crisis in Luoyang City.This battle was the one with the fewest wounded soldiers and the most prisoners of war in the history of Qi, because the general Shuai Bing did not allow anyone to kill the enemy soldiers who had surrendered. This is the famous "Battle of Mangshan" in history.

Many years later, whenever the soldiers who participated in the Battle of Mangshan, or the enemy soldiers who survived, recalled, there would always be a heroic and vigorous figure in their minds.The man wore a bright red hideous mask, a golden armored battle suit, and a long spear in his hand, making him invincible.The most surprising thing is that when this legendary general arrived in front of Luoyang City, the sentry on the city wall could not be recognized at a glance, and he thought it was an enemy attack.It wasn't until the general pulled off his mask, revealing his soft and handsome face, that he opened the city gate to welcome the victor.Everyone in Luoyang City embraces this gentle-looking, brave and skilled general. Everyone wears various masks, sings and dances to celebrate the joy of victory and praise this benevolent and kind-hearted general.Later, people recorded this piece of music in the annals of history and named it "The Song of King Lanling Entering the Battle", which was widely praised.

Palace of Yonggong

"Ah, I'm finally back, so tired, so tired." Shen Ning slumped in the wooden chair as soon as he entered the door, crying repeatedly.

"Hehe, it's hard work for Ning'er to run around with me." Ye Lanling sat down beside Shen Ning with a smile, "I hope I won't fight any more in the future."

"That's impossible." It was Bai Ze who spoke. He jumped between the two and said in a daze, "Since ancient times, wherever there are people, there will be wars, and there will be bloodshed and death if there are wars. This has never changed. If you want to reduce the occurrence of wars, you must unify, unify the territory, and maintain balance." Bai Ze stared straight at Ye Lanling, and secretly sighed: Only the savior can save people from fire and water, right? ?

"Huh? I found something interesting." Shen Ning looked at the heavy-faced Ye Lanling, and suddenly skipped the subject, "Brother Ye, have you noticed that we've been away for almost half a month, so it stands to reason that here It should be full of dust, but you see, there is not a single bit of it, has someone come to clean it?"

Ye Lanling looked at Shen Ning's finger touching the table, there was indeed no dust on it, it seems that someone must have been here during the time we left, could it be Mei Tao and Xiuying?

"The emperor is here!" The eunuch's summons broke everyone's suspicion, Ye Lanling and Shen Ning just wanted to go out but happened to bump into Gao Wei and entered the house.

"Greetings to the emperor." Ye Lanling raised his hand to salute, and when he caught a glimpse of Shen Ning beside him staring at Gao Wei indifferently, he whispered, "Ning'er, this is the emperor."

Shen Ning tightly closed the corners of his mouth, staring at Gao Wei with gloomy eyes.

"Haha, no need." Gao Wei laughed twice, walked into the hall with a wave of his hand, deliberately ignoring the boy's obvious bad intentions, because he knew that Ye Lanling valued him very much.According to the spy report, he is the son of Ye Lanling's adoptive mother, and the two are like brothers.So...cannot be killed.

"I don't know why the emperor came here?" Ye Lanling was a little worried about what happened that night, if it really changed his memory as Bai Ze said, then it would be easy.If his memory has not been changed, then...

"Presumptuous!" An old eunuch glared at Ye Lanling, who was utterly offensive, but was interrupted by Gao Weiyang.

Gao Wei sat on the main hall, looking at Ye Lanling with a smile all the time, "I came today to reward General Gao."

"This is unnecessary."

"Bold!"

"En?" Gao Wei glanced at the old eunuch who was about to speak harshly, and said slowly, "If you make any noise again, you will be pulled out and beheaded."

When the old eunuch heard the emperor's words, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly knelt and kowtowed tremblingly, "Damn the old slave, the old slave obeys the order."

"Well, you can just stand on the side." Gao Wei turned his face to the side, and looked at Ye Lanling with a smile in his eyes again, "General Gao has severely defeated Zhou's troops this time, and he has made great contributions to Baoqi. I now reward you with a city, ten thousand taels of gold."

"The emperor..."

Without waiting for Ye Lanling's refusal, Gao Wei went on to say, "In addition, I want to restore General Gao's status as King of Jin." Speaking of this, Gao Wei paused, "That day, we had a good time drinking and talking, drunk like a dream I vaguely remember that you told me that your surname among the people is Ye Lanling... Lanling... Okay! I will give you Lanling Zhongwu King, and you will be my cousin in the future——Lanling King."

"Lan... King Lanling..." Ye Lanling chewed in a low voice with some surprise.King of Lanling, I really replaced Shen Ning as King of Lanling. Is the King of Lanling recorded in history really me?

"Hehe, it seems that Lanling likes this name very much." Gao Wei stepped forward happily, and grabbed Ye Lanling's hands, "Come on, go to my bedroom. I want to drink with Lanling all night again."

"Ah? No..." Ye Lanling came back to his senses, and when he heard Gao Wei's proposal and the look in the corner of his eyes that was almost the same as that day, he immediately broke free.Just when I was about to say no, I heard another summons from outside the door, and then a court lady entered the hall and knelt down, "My maidservant kowtows to the emperor and Mr. Gao. The queen mother invites Mr. Gao to the 'Yihe Palace' to say something."

"Empress?" Gao Wei frowned, "Why did Empress find him?"

"Reporting to the emperor, the slaves don't know."

"No. You go back to the 'Yihe Palace' and report to the Queen Mother, saying that I brought Mr. Gao to the 'Hall of Mental Cultivation' to celebrate. If the Queen Mother insists on looking for Mr. Gao, then she will have to wait until tomorrow."

"This..." The court lady raised her head in embarrassment and anxiety, but Gao Wei smiled coldly.

"Eunuch Qin."

"The old slave is here." The trembling father-in-law took a small step forward.

"Slap her mouth."

"Yes." Eunuch Qin walked slowly in front of the already pale maid, and with a "snap", five finger prints immediately floated on his face, and he slapped him while lecturing, "You ignorant maid who doesn't understand the rules, your majesty! Can you see it?"

"The servants are afraid, please forgive the emperor, ah!"

"Eunuch." Ye Lanling took a step forward, grabbed Eunuch Qin's raised hand, and looked back at Gao Wei who didn't care. Let the emperor drink together."

"Okay." Gao Wei waved his hand, and Eunuch Qin retreated to the side, "Then I will wait for Mr. Gao's visit at the 'Hall of Mental Cultivation', haha. Eunuch Qin, drive the 'Hall of Mental Cultivation'."

"The slave obeys the order."

Ye Lanling watched Gao Wei and the accompanying eunuchs and maids leave the "Yonggong Hall", and hurriedly helped up the maid who was still kneeling on the ground, "Get up quickly, I'm so sorry that you were beaten."

"Lord Gao, please don't say that. If someone hears it, the servant will be punished again." The maid raised her head slightly, looking at the general who had heard about it for a long time.

"Brother Ye," Shen Ning suddenly pulled away Ye Lanling's hand that was supporting the maid, glared at her, and then said worriedly, "Brother Ye must be careful when going to the Empress Dowager."

"I know, if there is any danger, I still have Bai Ze." Ye Lanling smiled, looking at Bai Ze who was pretending to sleep in the corner.

"That night..."

"Ning'er don't worry, I have my own way to deal with the emperor."

"What can be done?"

"This... secret must not be leaked." Ye Lanling rubbed Shen Ning's hair, "Okay, I will go with her to see the Queen Mother now, and I will be back right away."

"Brother Ye, I found that you always like to pat my head, and I'm not a child." Shen Ning muttered dissatisfied.

"Hehe, in my eyes, you will always be a child."

"Don't!" Shen Ning suddenly said loudly in surprise, which made Ye Lanling stunned.

"Okay, okay, Ning'er is not a child. When I come back, I will solemnly apologize to Ning'er." Ye Lanling looked at Shen Ning, who was already as tall as himself, with a smile, shook his head, and then turned to the bewildered court lady, "Please take me to the 'Yihe Palace'."

"Follow...obey the order."
