Chapter 1314 Reversal of Fate (2)

? On the second day after Yunqing arrived in Tongcheng, he went to inspect the city wall. Last time because of Yuxi's illness, he rushed back to the capital in a hurry, but he couldn't come to Tongcheng to have a look.

The city wall of Tongcheng was strengthened and widened by Qiu Dashan. Now the city wall is only 16 meters high, 20 meters wide at the base, and 16 meters wide at the top.

The city walls are all made of high-quality stones and glued with glutinous rice juice, which is very strong.

It is by relying on this city wall that the Donghu people have been repelled time and time again.

Standing on the city wall, Sibonian looked around carefully and said, "This city wall is much taller and wider than that of Yucheng." The city walls of Yucheng are all made of bricks. No, glutinous rice juice is also used for bonding.

Yun Qing hummed, and explained: "The combat effectiveness of the Donghu people is similar to that of the Beiyao people, but their population is much larger." Every soldier guarding the frontier is worthy of respect.

After finishing speaking, Yun Qing looked in the direction where the Eastern Hu people's royal court was, and said, "This battle is not easy, but if they are defeated this time, there will be no more major wars within five years." Fortunately, they occupy a favorable position, otherwise, even if they have millions of soldiers, Yunqing would not be sure to win this battle. Fighting immediately has always been their shortcoming.

Sibo said in a young voice: "It would be great if the Donghu people were wiped out." Almost 300,000 horses were killed in Tongcheng last year, and there will definitely be heavy casualties in this battle soon. Hundreds of thousands of lives can only be exchanged for five years of peace, it is uncomfortable to think about it.

"Let's leave this matter to Qi Hao!" The population of the Donghu people is several times that of the Beiyao people. Even if they lose hundreds of thousands of horses, they still have a strong fighting capacity. Furthermore, their lairs are deep in the grasslands, and the imperial court sent troops to attack them. In all likelihood, they will never return. Furthermore, the imperial treasury is now empty and the population of the world is withered. The most important thing now is to recuperate. Therefore, it is impossible for them to initiate a large-scale war on their own initiative. Therefore, it is impossible to exterminate the Donghu people within twenty years.

The wind outside the Great Wall was so strong that it lifted up the cloak on his body.

Yunqing pulled up his cloak, then walked along the city wall. Seeing soldiers, Yunqing occasionally stopped to chat with them and ask them some questions. Of course, he couldn't understand Liaodong dialect because of the translator.

Zao Zao searched for Yun Qing for a long time before he found it.

When he saw someone, Yunqing was standing on the enemy viewing platform.

Zaozao walked up to Yunqing and asked, "Father, why didn't you call me when you came to patrol the city." She originally wanted to find Yunqing to have breakfast with him, but she didn't see anyone.

Seeing that Yunqing only looked into the distance and ignored her, Zaozao was a little puzzled. But seeing Si Bonian shaking his head at him, he didn't speak, and then followed behind Yunqing without saying a word.

After walking on the city wall for a long time, lunch was served with the guards on the city wall.

Today's meal is Wowo and potatoes, a small dish of pickles, and a bowl of egg drop soup. Wowo and potatoes are full, but there is only one bowl of egg drop soup. After drinking, there is no more.

Zao Zao took a sip of the delicious egg drop soup, then smiled and said: "Father, this egg drop soup is not available on weekdays. It must be that the kitchen saw that you added it on the city wall."

With 500,000 soldiers and horses, the daily consumption of food and grass is astonishing. Like meat, the price of eggs is not low, and they can only be eaten during Chinese New Year and holidays. There are too many people, and it is unrealistic to think of one egg per person, so they all drink egg drop soup.

"Don't eat and sleep without talking, have you forgotten everything your mother taught you?" In fact, even Yun Qing himself couldn't do it. But Yunqing is in a bad mood today, and doesn't want to hear Zao Zao ji ji ji wai wai.

Zao Zao felt that Yun Qing was acting weird today, and he didn't dare to provoke her, so he immediately lowered his head and gnawed at the nest. Cough, I really miss the white flour steamed buns and mutton dumplings made by Mama Bai!

It was not until the evening that Yunqing went down the city wall.

Seeing him with a sullen face, even Zao Zao didn't dare to talk much, and the others were even more so.

Back to the place where she lived, Zao Zao told Si Bonian: "Tell the kitchen that there must be braised pork for dinner!" Braised pork is her favorite.

Although it's not as delicious as Mama Bai's and Deyuelou's cooking, it can satisfy my cravings.

Because of the hardships in the border town, jujubes are eaten with the soldiers, which means that she shares joys and sorrows with the soldiers.

Spinian smiled and agreed.

Yun Qing asked: "How is the Yan family's marksmanship?" Old Master Yun especially admired Marshal Yan, and praised the Yan family's marksmanship like a flower. He himself is not interested or motivated to learn, but it would be good if he learned it.

It's good if you no longer have a straight face and are willing to speak. Zao Zao said: "I only learned a little superficially." That marksmanship is so superb that she has to work hard to learn it.

"See Yan Wushuang tomorrow, let him come to me at noon." Yan Wushuang has contributed his family's best knowledge, so he has to show something. Otherwise, someone else must have an idea. Yunqing has always been rewarding for meritorious service and punishing for mistakes in governing the army. Rewards and punishments are clearly defined. Although he hates Yan Wushuang, he will not violate the rules he made.

Zao Zao responded straightforwardly: "Okay!"

After finishing speaking, Zao Zao hesitated and asked: "Father, what's the matter with you today? You look worried?" It was fine last night, and I don't know what happened.

Yun Qing was silent for a while and said: "I don't remember what your grandfather looked like." He was sent to the capital to accompany Mr. Yun when he was three years old. Yun Mu was fine, and when Yun Qing was seven years old, he came back specially to celebrate his birthday. As for the two younger brothers, the elder brother is a chubby chubby paper, and the younger brother has never seen it and doesn't know what he looks like. As for Father Yun, he only met him when he was five years old when he went to Beijing for business. That half-death, Father Yun only stayed in the capital for three days, but he left early and returned late. Therefore, every time he thinks of Father Yun, he is just a back view.

"Father, don't be sad. I believe that grandpa is in the spirit of heaven. I will be very pleased to see you make the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment." The soldiers who guarded the frontier shed blood and sacrificed their lives not to keep their families safe and the people to live and work in peace and contentment.

When Yun Qing heard this, his expression softened a little.

Zao Zao said again: "Father, don't think about the past. People, you have to look forward. You can see your grandson in your arms in a short time. What a happy thing!"

"I didn't know you were so good at comforting people now."

Zao Zao smiled and said: "I'm not comforting you, I'm telling the truth. Father, you see that you have a virtuous wife, a clever son, and a caring and lovely daughter. Dad, do you think you are the happiest man in the world?"

Yun Qing glanced at Zao Zao, and although he didn't speak, his frown relaxed.

In the evening, Zao Zao ate a sumptuous dinner, and then went back to practice sword for another quarter of an hour.

Yan Wushuang heard Zaozao say that Yunqing wanted to see him the next day, and asked, "What did he see me for?"

Zao Zao simply said that he didn't know, and asked Yan Wushuang to ask himself. Zao Zao won't talk too much about things that have nothing to do with her.

Hearing Yan Wushuang begging for an audience, Yun Qing immediately rolled up the map on the table. After scrolling halfway, he put the map back and flattened it: "Let him in." Repelling and guarding against Yan Wushuang had already formed a conditioned reflex.

Yan Wushuang entered the house, seeing Yun Qing, he didn't kneel and salute, but asked, "What do you want from me?"

Si Bonian said coldly: "If you don't kneel down when you see the emperor, you want to rebel?" It's just a loser, and it's ridiculous to put on such an arrogant expression.

Yan Wushuang looked at Yun Qing, saw the other party's expression was calm, and said: "If you want to kill, kill it!" His pride did not allow him to kneel at Yun Qing's feet.

Yun Qing waved Si Bonian down, and when there were only two people left in the room, Yun Qing said, "There is nothing special about calling you here, I just want to talk to you."

Yan Wushuang was very surprised, but also found it very interesting: "Let me chat with you?" I still remember the last time I saw Yunqing, this guy still looked disgusted. Came to chat with him today. This is the sun coming out from the west.

"I don't remember what my father looks like. What about you? Do you still remember Marshal Yan?"

Speaking of Marshal Yan, Yan Wushuang couldn't help but straighten his back: "Of course I remember."

"That's right, you grew up beside Marshal Yan, how can you not remember what he looks like." After speaking, Yun Qing sighed and said: "I only saw my father six times after I remember. And these six times, Four times I only saw the back."

Yan Wushuang finally knew why Yunqing had specially called him here. Because they were both victims of the Tongcheng tragedy, they have a common language when talking about it.

"I just hope you don't let the tragedy in Tongcheng happen again. Otherwise, I don't know how many people lost their homes, and how many children lost their parents." The tragedy in Tongcheng did not know how many orphans were left behind.

"Such a thing will never happen again." Yun Qing said this firmly.

Yan Wushuang nodded and said, "I believe in you."

Yun Qing was startled, then smiled and said: "You know what? I had a dream, dreaming that I died at your hands."

"Unfortunately, dreams are always the opposite." If Yunqing was really killed by him, he would not be reduced to this point.

That nightmare has always left Yun Qing in a lingering fear, even now it can't make him feel relieved: "I was bewitched by you in the dream, and promised to eradicate Song Guifei and the Song family together with you."

Back then, he really wanted Yunqing to take revenge with him, but it didn't work out.

"I agreed. Later, you also killed Emperor Changtai and made Zhou Yan the puppet emperor, and became the regent yourself. After that, you appointed me as the governor of the Northwest."

Yan Wushuang hurriedly asked in surprise, "And then?"

Yun Qing glanced at Yan Wushuang and said, "Then you killed the donkey and killed me with a beauty trick."

Humming, Yan Wushuang asked: "Han Yuxi turned against you because you fell into a beauty trick, and then you were killed by the beauty?"

Yun Qing didn't answer this question, but said: "In the dream, you became the winner, but you killed me. But now, I didn't kill you."

Yan Wushuang ignored the words, but asked with a look of disbelief: "One day husband and wife, one hundred days of grace, even if you fall into the trap of a beauty, with Han Yuxi's temper, it is impossible to watch you be killed by me, right?"

"Why do you talk so much?"

Yan Wushuang said with a smile: "It's not that you talk too much, but that your logic doesn't make sense. Not to mention anything else, even for the sake of her children, she won't watch you being killed."

Yunqing still didn't answer.
