Chapter 1028 Convergence of the Two Armies
The dawn slowly opened the curtain, and it was another clear and refreshing morning.
Seeing Yu Xi stretching her waist, Mammy Quan said with a smile: "I always said that I want the princess to learn etiquette, and I want the princess to see you like this, but there is something to say." Yu Xi's action , which is not elegant at all.
Yu Xi smiled and said, "Do you think it's realistic to let Zao Zao honestly learn the rules and manners at home?" She gave up many years ago.
Mammy Quan laughed.
When Yuxi was punching, two birds flew from the tree, chirping.
Aunt Quan came out of the house and looked at the birds on the tree. She was very happy: "Princess, this is a magpie. Think about it, today is a good day." The magpie is a bird of good news, so there must be a happy event today.
Seeing that Yuxi was silent, Meilan interjected, "Maybe I can receive the good news that the prince has won the capital today." Recently, she often receives good news, and the atmosphere in the palace has always been very good. Now, there is only one good news from the capital.
Yuxi smiled: "There is no good news from Baoding, so there is no good news from the capital." But thinking about it, there should be good news in these two days.
As Yuxi expected, in the morning she received the good news from Baoding, and at the same time received the news from Falcon.
Yu Zhi looked at Yu Xi's face that suddenly sank, and asked, "Princess, what happened in the capital?"
Yuxi shook her head and said: "The capital is very chaotic now." When the palace changed, she almost died at the hands of those thugs, so Yuxi knew that many people would take advantage of the chaos to do evil.
Yu Zhi remained silent. Since it's a mess, someone must be fishing in troubled waters to take advantage of it.
At noon this day, Yuxi received the good news from Cangzhou, Shandong. Along with the good news, there is also a list of those who have made meritorious deeds. Seeing that Feng Zhixi was ranked eighteenth, a smile appeared on Yuxi's face.
Before dinner, Yuxi told Liu'er the good news: "Zhixi has made great contributions again, and now he has been promoted from the sixth rank to Chief Qian." When Feng Zhixi went to Xiayi, he was white. In just over two months, he has been promoted from the sixth rank to Qian Zong, which is very good. So, soldiers like to fight. Only by fighting can you be promoted.
Although Liu'er doesn't like fighting, but in this family, she knows a lot about wars. Liu Er asked with some concern: "Mom, is he a striker?" Playing a striker has many opportunities to make meritorious deeds, but it is also very dangerous.
Yu Xi didn't evade this topic either, she nodded and said, "This is Feng Dajun's arrangement. Since he can let Axi go to the vanguard camp, he must have someone behind him."
Liu'er nodded and said: "Mother, it will be fifteen in two days, I want to go to Daxing Temple to offer incense." Before Yunqing and Zaozao went to war, Liu'er also went to offer incense on the fifteenth day of the lunar new year.
Yuxi hummed and said: "You don't need to report this matter to me in the future, you can make up your own mind." Seeing Liu'er in a daze, Yuxi said: "After you get married, you have to be the master of your own family. You get used to it first."
Hearing this, Liu'er asked: "Mother, do you mean that I will not live in the Feng family in the future?"
Yuxi was a little surprised: "Do you want to live in the Feng family after marriage?" The Feng family has a simple population, and the Chang family is generous, Qi Qi and Liu Er are close, if Liu Er wants to live in the Feng family after marriage, she will not object .
Liu'er was a little hesitant: "Mother, the so-called distant fragrance and close smell, I'm afraid there will be conflicts if we get along for a long time. Instead of moving out of the Feng family in the future, it's better not to live together from the beginning." Frequent socializing, coupled with the management At home, Liu'er is still very familiar with the inner house.
Yuxi smiled and said: "If you don't want to live, just live in the princess's mansion. During the holidays, it's good to go back to Feng's house for a reunion dinner."
Liu'er has concerns: "I'm afraid Zhixi won't agree." Feng Zhixi is so filial, it's very likely that she wants her to live in Feng's house,
Be filial with him.
"What's the difficulty? You just say that I don't agree. Feng Dajun and Chang know it, and they won't make it difficult for you. They will only persuade Feng Zhixi." Anyway, her fierce reputation is well known all over the world, so she didn't agree. I believe Feng Zhixi did not dare to object.
After dinner, Yuxi took Liu'er for a walk in the garden. At this time, the garden is colorful and the scenery is pleasant.
"Mother, I have composed a new piece of music. If you are busy, I will play it for you!" No one appreciated the newly composed piece, which made Liu Er a little disappointed.
Yuxi smiled and nodded.
Liu'er hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Mother, when will Ah Xuan and the others go home?" At home, only brother Xuan shared her interests. Every time a new song is composed, Brother Xuan will listen carefully and ask various questions afterwards. She can find deficiencies and improve.
"This depends on Brother Xuan's performance? Only when your father is satisfied can he go home." Brother Xuan has performed well recently, and he has not complained about suffering or being tired, let alone finding reasons not to train.
Seeing this, Liu'er didn't say a word of pleading.
In the evening, when Tong Fang was massaging with Yu Xi, Yu Xi said: "Cui Weiqi has made great contributions in attacking Cangzhou this time, and now he has been promoted to the defense of the fifth rank." Whether it is Cui Weiqi or Feng Zhixi, their military achievements are real. falsification. Everyone watched, and no one would do such a stupid thing.
Tong Fang showed joy, but thinking about what Tong Shi said to her a few days ago, the joy faded a lot: "This child is brave in battle, but he is confused about housework." Tong Shi helped her in Yucheng She has always been grateful for reconciling with Xiang Weidong. Over the years, she has gotten very close to Tong. When I'm not busy, I also visit Tong's house.
Yuxi smiled and said: "Others say that I can teach children. You should know the situation at home after you have been in the mansion for so many years. Zaozao and the six of them have their own advantages and disadvantages."
"The son has no shortcomings." In Tong Fang's eyes, Qi Hao is perfect, and there is nothing wrong with it.
Yuxi smiled, shook her head and said: "No one is perfect." Qihao's shortcomings, ordinary people can't find out, and can't understand.
Squinting her eyes, Yu Xi said: "Raising a child at one hundred years old means worrying about ninety-nine years. This old saying is true." Only after becoming a mother can one know that being a mother is not easy.
Tong Fang couldn't help but think of the unborn child. Every time she thought about it before, she felt like a knife was twisting in her heart. But this time, for some reason, it was exceptionally calm.
Yunqing won Baoding, but did not lead troops to attack the capital in a hurry.
Zao Zao was frightened by Qi Hao from that day on, and did not dare to come to Yun Qing's small courtyard for two days after that. The father and son get along very harmoniously.
After resting for two days, seeing that Yunqing hadn't led troops to attack the capital, Zaozao couldn't sit still. A gust of wind entered the house, Zao Zao shouted loudly: "Father, it's been two days, why haven't we led troops to attack the capital?"
Yunqing is now looking down at the map.
Seeing this, Qi Hao frowned and said: "Elder Sister, didn't you see that Dad is busy?" Qi Hao didn't need a pass to come in, but he would see the situation. If there are too many people or Yunqing is busy, he will stand aside and wait, not like Zao Zao.
Zao Zao said: "I didn't see it!" When he said this, his voice weakened unconsciously. After what happened last time, Zao Zao felt timid when facing Qi Hao.
When Yunqing raised his head, it was already a quarter of an hour later. Looking up and seeing Zao Zao, Yun Qing asked, "When did you come?" He was too engrossed just now, and didn't hear Zao Zao's cry.
Zao Zao smiled and said: "It's not long since I came here. Dad, the army has been resting for such a long time, why didn't they attack the capital?" Many people below were a little bit restrained.
Looking at Qi Hao, Yun Qing asked: "Didn't you tell Zao Zao the reason?" Qi Hao knew all these things.
Zao Zao looked at Qi Hao, his eyes were clearly asking why he didn't tell her, making her wait so long.
Qi Hao said leisurely: "Eldest sister didn't ask me." He also realized that if Zao Zao's bad disease is not cured, he will be the one who will have a headache in the future.
Zao Zao almost choked to death.
"At noon, I received a secret letter from Falcon, saying that Yan Wushuang had fled the capital." Originally, he planned to rest for two days before continuing to attack the capital. But when he got the news, he changed his mind.
Zao Zao was puzzled and said: "Yan Wushuang escaped from the capital, shouldn't we take this opportunity to attack the capital?"
Yun Qing shook his head and said: "Cangzhou has already been taken, and the Feng army should be able to reach Changdu County in the next day at the latest. At that time, we will meet him there."
Zao Zao understood: "Father, do you want the two armies to join forces to attack the capital?"
Yun Qing nodded: "More than half a million soldiers and horses are enough to make the soldiers and horses of the imperial court shy." This is only the superficial reason, and it is inconvenient for him to tell Zao Zao the real reason.
Zao Zao suddenly said: "So that's how it is."
For this reason, Zao Zao could only be fooled, but Qi Hao couldn't be fooled. The capital city is in a bad state now, the difference between 300,000 soldiers and more than 500,000 soldiers attacking the capital is actually not very big.
When sleeping at night, Qi Hao asked: "Father, it is not true that the two armies joined forces to attack the capital, but is it true that you want to give uncle time to let him take control of the capital?" You can occupy the capital.
Qihao is still too young, and his thinking is simple. Tie Kui has always been jealous of Yan Wushuang, unable to control all the soldiers and horses in the capital. And Gao Dongnan is also a titan. He led elite soldiers to guard the capital, this battle was not so easy to fight.
Yun Qing didn't answer this question, but asked: "Your mother told you about Tie Kui?" Seeing Qihao nodded, Yun Qing smiled and said: "Your mother really doesn't hide anything from you!"
Qi Hao went to the root and asked: "Father, why didn't you answer my question? Could it be that this battle is more difficult?"
Yun Qing hummed and said: "Unless Gao Dongnan is dead, your uncle can't control the soldiers and horses in the capital." Since he can't control the soldiers and horses, it is impossible to talk about taking the capital with a single soldier.
I thought it would take two days, but I didn't expect Feng Dajun and Liu Yongnan to meet up in Qamdo County the next morning.
Feng Dajun soon came to see Yunqing, the two were discussing matters in the room, while the others were waiting outside.
Zao Zao got the news, and when he saw Feng Zhiao, he asked, "Where's Feng Xiaoer?"
The corner of Feng Zhiao's mouth twitched, how could he call his future brother-in-law like that. Xiao Er, those who didn't know it thought it was a waiter. Enduring the speechlessness in his heart, Feng Zhiao said: "Zhixi is in the army, we can see him in the evening."
Zao Zao asked with great interest: "What is Feng Xiaoer's official title now?" Knowing the official title, one knows how much credit Feng Zhixi has made.
"Prince Qian from the sixth rank." After finishing speaking, Feng Zhiao deliberately asked: "I don't know what rank the princess is now?" He knew that Zao Zao had been demoted three ranks in a row.
Zao Zao drooped his head and said: "I made a mistake and my father demoted three ranks in a row." At the time when he disobeyed the order to play the vanguard, very few people knew about it. Later, even if Zao Zao was downgraded three levels in a row, those who knew didn't talk too much.
"What kind of mistake made the prince drop you three levels?" He was really curious.
Waving her hand, Zao Zao said: "Don't mention it, it will be a shame." When mentioning this, she couldn't help but think of Qi Hao's threat. It doesn't matter if you drop three levels in a row, you can still go up if you do a good job. But it would be too embarrassing to make her afraid of Qihao.
In the evening, Yunqing had dinner with Feng Dajun, and the children naturally followed suit.
Not long after, Cui Mo also came. Yunqing took good care of his life and death brothers in the past, so how could such a chance of meritorious service be missed by him.
Seeing Cui Mo with a serious face, it seemed that everyone owed him tens of thousands of taels of silver. Zaozao was full of doubts in his heart, and asked Qihao in a low voice: "Uncle Cui, what's the matter? During this time, he has been keeping a straight face." To Zaozao, Qihao is a know-it-all, so you must be right to ask him.
Qi Hao smiled, and that smile was full of sarcasm: "Cui Weiqi fell in love with a commoner woman, and that woman became pregnant, and Mrs. Cui fell ill from anger."
"What? Isn't Cui Weiqi engaged to a girl from the Tang family?" Zaozao didn't know about Niu's matter.
Feng Zhiao interjected: "Ah Qi wants to retire and marry Niu as his wife."
Zao Zao's eyes widened, and after a long time, he said a word: "Is he out of his mind?" Not to mention that the Tang family is not easy to provoke, but just say that this woman is unmarried and pregnant with a child, you know that this person has a bad character . She and Jinyu were engaged, and when they met, it was just a matter of passion and ceremony.
Feng Zhiao said disdainfully: "The second girl of the Tang family is a well-known lady. It's not out of my mind to resign the marriage of the Tang family for such a dishonest woman."
"No wonder Uncle Cui's face is so ugly these days." The son's brain was flooded, and it was strange that the father was happy.
Qihao said: "Just know about it, so don't talk about it." It's also because of Cui Mo's face, otherwise he wouldn't care about Cui Weiqi.
It was hard for Zao Zao to understand: "I looked good before, but why did I lose my mind when I met a woman." Fortunately, my mother didn't like Cui Weiqi, otherwise Liu'er would have been tricked.
No one can answer this question.
Yun Qing looked at Cui Mo, and asked: "What's the matter?" Cui Mo spoke loudly when they gathered for a while on weekdays, but today he was uncharacteristically, not saying a word.
Feng Dajun told about Niu Shi.
Yuxi didn't tell Yunqing about Niu's matter. As for Cui Mo, he didn't have the face to tell Yun Qing about it.
Yun Qing frowned, and then said to Cui Mo: "Put Niu's in advance, and deal with them after the battle." Cui Weiqi was not clear-headed, but they couldn't be confused.
Cui Mo also knows that he should not be distracted during the war. Cui Mo nodded and said: "During this time, I won't see him." He was afraid that if he saw him, he wouldn't be able to help but kill this evil person.
Seeing this, Yun Qing said: "My sons and daughters are all debts. My brother Xuan is not good enough, he is cowardly and irresponsible, and he is very angry when he sees it. I threw him into Qianwei Camp at the end of last year. I don't know what is going on now? "Thinking of Brother Xuan, he has a headache.
These words did not comfort Cui Mo at all. Because besides brother Xuan, Yunqing and Qihao are all very good. Furthermore, brother Xuan is not the eldest son, even if he is timid and cowardly, it doesn't matter. Unlike Cui Weiqi, that is the eldest son who wants to support the family. (to be continued)
