Dai Yuxin says

"I also have good intentions. I came to visit Ms. Lin. These watchdogs are really dog-eyed. They neither went in to report nor let me in. Ms. Lin is also from a scholarly family, why is it so unreasonable?" Princess Yi was full of disdain. , kept turning two thin lips, chattering endlessly.

Xiugu smiled meekly and said: "Our girl is chanting scriptures and praying for the auxiliary prince and all the soldiers of the Western Expedition, and there are no outsiders. This is not only our girl's wish, but also the emperor's intention. Princess Yi insists on entering, but we will It has already been said that in the future, if there is any matter, the emperor will investigate it, and Princess Yi will take care of it."

As she spoke, Xiu Gu staggered aside, and the guard at the door also followed Xiu Gu to one side, staring angrily at Princess Yi.

Xiugu's trick is a bit risky, but it works.

Concubine Yi saw that Xiu Gu and the guard really stopped blocking her from entering the door, so she hesitated instead.

Discussion: Since it is the emperor's decree not to disturb Lin Daiyu's chanting and chanting Buddhist scriptures for Shui Rong and the soldiers of the three armies, and the emperor loves Lin Daiyu so much, why should I be a bird of prey and burrow into the thorn tree with my head bare? ?It's better to go back by yourself first, and encourage the princess to come first.

However, Princess Yi was really unwilling to go back like this.

She said with a dry smile: "Actually, I have nothing to do. I just haven't seen Miss Lin for a long time, and I miss her a little. Come here to have a look at her. By the way, I will send two people to her. These two girls, I think They look pretty good, and their personality is pretty good, especially if they can cook a few delicious side dishes, let them keep Miss Lin as companions first, and then leave them to warm the bed for the co-principal king, which is much better than buying girls who don’t know the details.”

After finishing speaking, Princess Yi beamed with joy and waved her hands. Two sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls with very seductive looks came out from behind, and came to wish Aunt Xiu a blessing.

Before Xiu Gu opened her mouth to speak, the person had already stood beside Xiu Gu lightly.

Xiu Gu hurriedly took two steps back, smiled mockingly at Princess Yi, and said, "My girl has already told me that slaves are not allowed to accept gifts from anyone on their behalf. I'd like to ask Princess Yi to take these two people back."

"How is this possible?" Princess Yi exclaimed in praise, and glared at Gu Xiu angrily. She did not expect Daiyu's servants to be so bold as to dare to refute Princess Wang's intentions.

A nanny turned around from Princess Yi's side, looked at Xiu Gu with a smirk and said, "Giving the two of you to Miss Lin is also a good intention from our princess. You know, that man with money and status, There is only one wife? What's more, Miss Lin's future husband is the assistant prince? It is the duty of the princess to spread branches and leaves for the royal family. Could it be that Miss Lin is not so magnanimous, and the assistant prince will only guard her for the rest of her life? Besides, the co-prince is not too young."

This nanny spoke very loudly, and what she meant by her words was to let the onlookers know: if Lin Daiyu didn't accept these two people, she just didn't want to be a part of the royal family, and she was a jealous woman who couldn't tolerate others.

Xiu Gu is Shui Jing's mother's most proud personal maid, and of course her mind is not comparable to that of ordinary women.

She shook her head slightly and said sarcastically, "Is your mother speaking on behalf of the princess? It seems that what you say makes sense, but I don't know that in the past dynasties, how can there be a big girl who has not been out of the cabinet to help her fiancé take concubines?" .”

Xiu Gu's words were also very powerful. Her words seemed to be a casual question, but in fact, the meaning was to seriously hurt Princess Yi. It meant that you, Princess Yi, were just like this nun and didn't understand the same thing.

The nun blushed, and said with a sneer: "Our concubine just feels sorry for Miss Lin who has no parents, no brothers and sisters, and sent two people to her to do her bidding, leaving the assistant prince to warm the bed. That will be the future. matter."

Xiu Gu curled her lips in disdain and said: "We girls advocate simple life and don't like luxury. There are enough people in Yuyuan for girls to command. Girls have something to say. Now the prince is on the front line in the northwest to fight against traitors. The country needs a lot of money. Our people in the rear People cannot live extravagantly, and no more people are allowed.”

The crowd of onlookers talked a lot, and praised: "This girl Lin has such a move at such a young age, she really deserves to be the good wife chosen by the emperor for the assistant prince."

Suddenly someone in Yuyuan shouted: "Aunt Xiu, the elder sister next to the girl wants you to go in quickly. There is something I don't know where it is. I want you to go in and help find it."

Aunt Xiu's eyes sparkled, she bowed to Princess Yi and saluted, neither humble nor overbearing said: "Young lady wants me to go in for something, the maidservant has gone in, please do what you want."

Xiugu stepped into Yuyuan, and the guard at the gate closed the gate of Yuyuan with a "squeak".

Concubine Yi, who was left hanging outside the gate, was so ashamed and indignant that she burst into tears.

"Prince Fuzheng, I heard that the Prince Fuzheng's Mansion has been built, and now the people in charge there are the mothers-in-law and maids in the palace. We might as well send people directly to the Prince Fuzheng's Mansion. At that time, Miss Lin will not want it anymore." You have to." The nanny next to Princess Yi persuaded her.

Princess Yi wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, and said angrily: "Go, go to the assistant government's palace, I don't believe it, even the one who sends it to me will not be able to."

When they came to the Fuzheng Palace, they saw that the door of Zhu Hong's mansion was closed, so they knocked on the door for a long time.

A young eunuch came and only opened the door a small crack, revealing half of his eyes, and asked softly, "What's the matter?"

Princess Yi motioned for the nanny to come forward and explain her intentions.

The young man listened too much, dragged his voice, and said in a slow voice: "Please wait a moment, I will report back to the nurse in charge."

snort!I really went out today and didn't read the almanac, everything went wrong!

Concubine Yi was furious, pouted her lips to the people around her, and said, "Come in! Could it be that this concubine is afraid of even a small slave?"

Just as he was about to break in, the door of the auxiliary government palace opened.

A nanny who was nearly forty years old, with good features, clean body and quick movements, came out with a smile on her face, and greeted Princess Yi politely and generously.

Princess Yi slanted her eyes, looked at this nanny carefully, and asked angrily: "This nanny belongs to that palace, why do I have such a bad face?"

The nanny replied with a faint smile: "The maidservant's surname is Zhao. She has been working in Yonghe Hall and rarely comes out, so the concubine has never seen the maidservant."

Yonghe Hall is the hall where Shui Jing's mother lived and entertained guests during her lifetime. Since Shui Jing's mother passed away, this hall has been empty.

After Shui Jing ascended the throne, he let his mother's maid in the palace come in, and arranged them according to his mother's preferences.

When he is restless, he will come here to sit for a while, and he will feel a pair of warm hands, like an iron, to iron his disordered heart.

The mothers and eunuchs of the Lama Temple are all people that Shui Jing values ​​very much, and ordinary people dare not disrespect the people of the Lama Temple.

Of course, people in Lama Temple have a high self-esteem, and they rarely go out, and they don't make any troubles. Their lives are quite peaceful.

At this time, Princess Yi was welcomed into the auxiliary government palace by Zhao Momo.

Concubine Yi was very angry, and she was not too tired. After entering the door, without saying a word, she asked Madam Zhao to lead her to visit the Fuzheng Palace.

Zhao Nanny was a little embarrassed, but she reluctantly agreed with a smile.

Concubine Yi brought her group of people around for more than an hour, and the more she looked at it, the more angry she became, and the more she looked at it, the more unbalanced she felt.

She felt that her own Prince Yi was also the son of a dragon and a phoenix, so why was he so much worse than Shui Che, and even worse than this Shui Rong who came out of the deep mountains and old forests?

She is even more unconvinced by the little orphan Lin Daiyu, seeing how spacious and elegantly built her future home is.

Come here, one step at a time, as if a person is walking in a painting.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Fuzheng Prince's Mansion is even more exquisite than the imperial garden of the imperial palace.

Concubine Yi sighed: If I can live in such a beautiful and exquisite palace, then I really have not lived in vain.

Visited the exterior of the Fuzheng Prince's Mansion, and then went to see the courtyard where Lin Daiyu lived in the future.

Although there is no decoration yet, just looking at the structural layout, it is more luxurious and beautiful than the Queen Mother's Kunning Palace.

She really couldn't stand it anymore, her complexion was like the night before the storm, and she said angrily to Mother Zhao: "I just remembered, there are still some things waiting for me to go back to deal with in Prince Yi's Mansion, and I'm going back. Fu The Prince’s Palace is so big, it’s not good if you don’t have people to help you take care of it. I gave these two people to the Prince Fuzheng, and now they can also help with the affairs of the Palace.”

Upon hearing the words, Mother Zhao just smiled and asked: "The auxiliary prince is not in the mansion, and Princess Lin has not yet passed the door. What are the identities of these two people? Please make it clear to Princess Yi. If someone from the palace comes to ask questions, the servants can report back." .”

Concubine Yi was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile and said: "The Assistant Prince is away on an expedition, and he will return to the court after victory. It's stronger than the ones bought from outside."

Zhao Momo smiled deeply and said, "Concubine Yi is still careful and thoughtful. According to Concubine Yi, these two people are just ordering girls around. This servant understands."

Princess Yi wanted to explain carefully, but she didn't dare to say so.The belly said: Anyway, I sent people in, and these two girls are clever enough.They have this princess as their backer, and they will ask their mother to knock them a few times in the future. It is expected that the people here will not dare to treat the two people they sent too badly.After a while, I will ask people from the house to pretend to be the mother or sister-in-law of these two people to come in and find out.

Thinking of this, Princess Yi felt that this time she had finally gained something, and she felt a little better.

In the capital city in September, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the autumn wind blows cool, and the red leaves on the mountains are as red as fire. It is a good time to visit the mountains and rivers and see the red leaves.

However, sooner or later there was frost in the northwest, and the eyes were covered with withered yellow. Under the pressure of the army, it looked particularly desolate.

The nearly [-] family members of the rebel generals of the Xiang clan who followed the grain transport army were uneasy in the water-melting station.

At Daiyu's suggestion, the sergeants of the Shuirong Sect led the family members of these rebel generals to observe the routine drills and actual combat exercises of the three armies sent by the imperial court.

After the family members of these rebels really felt the incomparably powerful combat power of the Shui Rong army, they were sent by Shui Rong to gather them in an open space. Shui Rong spoke to them on behalf of the court, telling these old and weak women and children that they wanted to go home People, let them all go, in addition to ensuring their safety, and give adults three liters of wheat, and children two liters of wheat.

For those who did not want to go home, the Grand Marshal sent people to send them to the capital, and the court was responsible for arranging their living quarters.

If he wanted to find his relatives in the rebel army, the Generalissimo would never make things difficult, let alone hurt them. He just hoped that they would convey the intention of the court to their relatives: that is to severely punish the evil leaders, not to question the coerced personnel, and to The words of praise for the meritorious deeds are brought.

At first, the family members of the rebel generals seemed to believe it or not, and hesitated.

Later, some brave people took the courage to tentatively propose to leave, and the soldiers in charge of distributing food distributed them all the food.

The family members of the other rebel generals found out that Shui Rong really didn't send anyone to follow him, and they gradually believed in the sincerity of the imperial court.

Soon, the family members of these rebel generals asked to leave one after another, wanting to find their relatives who were in the rebel army.

The soldiers who were in charge of distributing food distributed them the food one by one, allowing them to leave safely.

At that time, many people in the Shui Rong army didn't understand this move, and even Shui Rong felt that he was too kind to the enemy.

He once said to Daiyu in puzzlement: "Yu'er, war is a life-and-death struggle. Sometimes, the kindness to the enemy is the cruelty to oneself."

Daiyu heard that she knew that Shui Rong was a military prodigy, very skilled in strategy and tactics in war, especially good at fighting, she could be called an invincible generalissimo.

However, Shui Rong is not good at subtle psychological tactics, let alone disintegrate the enemy's political tricks.

Therefore, Daiyu smiled and analyzed Shui Rong very patiently: "Winter is coming soon, and most of the more than 5000 family members of the rebel generals are old, weak, sick, disabled and pregnant. Due to the cruel war, they have already died. Without their homes, they can only go to the rebel army to find their clansmen and relatives. We have shown these people that because they are too greedy, they burned, killed and looted our border residents, making it impossible for our border residents to live. We are forced to come here Those who attacked them. We are the army of justice and the army of benevolence and righteousness. These rebel families have also seen that we have a large number of soldiers, ample food, and we are not afraid to confront them for a long time. They will only die if they fight against us. Let them persuade the rebels Wouldn't it be better if the army surrendered?"

After hearing this, Shui Rong clapped his hands happily, laughed loudly and said, "I didn't expect Yu'er to be a military strategist!"

Daiyu rolled her eyes and said with an embarrassed smile: "Soldiers never tire of deceit. These rebel families have left. You can send some capable people to follow their tracks from a distance. Don't be discovered. In this way, you Can't we find the main force of the rebel army?"

Shui Rong nodded excitedly and said, "Yes, if you don't surrender, I'll wipe them all out completely."

Daiyu glanced at him, and said coquettishly: "Aside from fighting and killing, don't you have any other options?"

Shui Rong said dumbfoundedly: "What I have learned from my master since I was a child is to fight. It is to study how to destroy the most enemies with the least cost."

"Well, haven't you learned the tactics of 'fighting without bloodshed' to win?" Daiyu asked back.

"Hee hee, there's no good thing that you can win the war 'without using blood'?" Shui Rong scratched his head, grinned, and looked at Daiyu with a foolish smile.

"Just wait, I'll let you see." Daiyu said calmly and confidently.

Shui Rong disregarded his status as Grand Marshal, couldn't care that he was older than Daiyu, let alone that he was a big man, grabbed Daiyu, and begged impatiently: "Good Yu'er, please tell me, I'd love to hear it."

Daiyu saw that he was like a gluttonous child who couldn't help drooling when he saw something delicious, so she couldn't help laughing and said, "You really know how to pester people!"

With two flawless white hands, she stroked the ends of her hair in front of her, her eyes squinted at the water, and she said softly: "Think about it, the rebel army is an army fleeing in a hurry, food and grass are scarce, and it's a cold winter. There are so many old, weak, sick, disabled and pregnant people. It’s not a big deal to add so many people to eat out of thin air. The rebels lack food and drink, and they are cold and hungry. Maybe they can overcome it. However, they were forced to Those whom you drove away were worried day and night that they would be wiped out by you. The morale of the army was inherently unstable. The family members of the rebel generals you released back would inevitably quietly tell their clansmen and relatives what you said on behalf of the court over and over again. Tell me, what will their clansmen and relatives think? What actions will they take in the end?"

Shui Rong suddenly realized, clapped his hands and laughed, and said repeatedly: "Not bad, not bad, Yu'er's strategy is really good."

That is to say, after five or six days, the soldiers who followed and investigated came back and reported that there was a large valley surrounded by steep mountains in Qishan, which was less than four hundred miles away from the Shui Rong army. Thousands of horses.According to local hunters, that valley is called Savage Valley.

Not long after, another follow-up sergeant came back and reported that they found a mountain about a hundred miles north of the Savage Valley, which was covered with snow all year round. Near the top of the mountain was a warehouse for the rebels to store food.According to the captives captured by the scouting sergeants, the grain depot was accumulated by their Daxiang clan over the years, and it was used to prepare for famines and wars.It is said that there is a lot of grain and mutton and suet stored, enough to feed about 10 people for three years.

After Shui Rong heard this, he frowned.

The belly said: If this is the case, the army I lead has come all the way from the mainland, and I am struggling with them like this, and I really can't exhaust the rebels.

Ah Shan is also very upset recently. He sees the poor living conditions here and feels that Daiyu has been wronged here. He is looking forward to a quick battle between Shui Rong and the rebels, and he will return to the court in victory as soon as possible.

In the past few days, he has not been idle, telling Daiyu that he wants to go out for a stroll, and it may take a few days before he comes back.

Daiyu knew Ah Shan's ability very well, and said with a smile to him: "Alright, let Zijuan Xueyan prepare some food for you on the road, and let Shui Rong prepare a good horse for you."

When Ah Shan heard this, his two abnormal eyes became slits with a smile, and he replied coolly: "No, girl, don't worry about my food on the road. I grew up in the mountains. As long as I enter the mountains, I won't be hungry." Me. Besides, I don’t want Prince Water’s horse, it’s a burden, and it’s not as convenient for me to walk alone.”

Daiyu thought what he was telling the truth, so she couldn't help telling him over and over again, such as not to be too tired, and to pay attention to safety when walking.

It made Xue Yan jealous and muttered: "Miss, why are you talking? The girl treats Ah Shan as a child and orders him to come and go. The girl only has Ah Shan in her heart, so she is so reluctant to let Ah Shan go out, so she simply won't let him go. Just go out."

"You little hoof, what are you talking about! You and Ashan Zicuckoo are my relatives, but my Lin family only has you guys? You are so narrow-minded! If you go out, I won't be at ease." Daiyu smiled Then, he kindly reprimanded the snow geese.

Xueyan hurriedly laughed along, turned her head away secretly, and stared fiercely at Ah Shan.

Ah Shan, on the other hand, was brimming with happiness, winking mischievously at the snow geese, wrinkling his nose, and making funny faces.

If outsiders see that happy strange look, they might be frightened and scream, but these people are used to it, knowing that this is Ah Shan's happiest expression.

Ah Shan went out for about ten days, and came back disheveled.

Daiyu saw that he looked tired and thin, and distressedly called Xueyan to bring hot water for Ah Shan to wash, and Zijuan to prepare meals for Ah Shan.

Ashan didn't care about washing and eating, he shook his hand excitedly at Daiyu, and said happily: "Girl, I have already found out the details of the rebel army."

Daiyu looked at him and smiled cordially: "You've worked hard for a while, so let's take a rest and catch your breath before we talk."

Xue Yan also laughed and said: "You wash your face first, and it won't be too late to fill your stomach."

Daiyu suppressed the excitement in her heart, smiled and advised Ah Shan to eat first.

Then, send someone to call for Shui Rong.

Who is Ah Shan!Of course he knew Daiyu's mood.

He felt very satisfied. He felt that he spent the past ten days sleeping in the open air, running back and forth for hundreds of miles around Qishan Mountain, although it was extremely tiring, it was worth it! .

Ashan hastily finished his meal, wiped his mouth, and then talked and drew to Daiyu Shui Rong on the ground.

Daiyu Shuirong finally understood the ins and outs of the rebels.

After listening to Ah Shan's narration, Shui Rong couldn't help hugging Ah Shan, and with tears in his eyes, he said excitedly: "Ah Shan, you are really amazing! When the teacher returns to the court, I will definitely give you the first merit. After returning to the court , My first thing is to report to my father, and at the very least, I will make you a great general."

Ah Shan broke free from Shui Rong's embrace, pursed his lips and said in disdain: "It's not rare!"

Shui Rong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "That's right, what is a general? I will definitely recommend you as a marquis."

"It's not rare!" Ah Shan said with a sneer in his eyes, curling his lips.

"What do you want? Not the prince, the Marquis is the biggest official." Shui Rong said blankly.

Ah Shan laughed loudly and said: "Even if you give me the title of assistant prince, it's not uncommon! I only do this so that my girl can leave this ghost place as soon as possible, and go home as soon as possible instead of living here with you. "

Shui Rong blushed with shame, looked at Daiyu, and said with a sneering smile: "I was wrong."

After a series of in-depth and meticulous research and deduction, the water-soluble Daiyu Ashan finally worked out a set of combat plans.
