In the central camp, all the generals were boiling with enthusiasm because of Xiao Yi's decision.
Outside the camp, young generals Mo Xiuyu and Xi Jue were still hesitantly lingering nearby, refusing to leave.
Last night, they rushed back to Lingchuan Canyon from Fengjiang City with Tian He overnight. Tian He told them to go back to their tent to rest for half a day to recharge their batteries, but as long as the two thought that King Zhennan was unwilling to provide supplies, they felt Anger in my heart.
General, they have been in for a long time, and I don't know if there is any result...
Xi Jue was a little irritable, and said with a dark face, "A Yu, what do you think the prince will do?"
Mo Xiuyu said coldly: "What else can I do? Either continue to attack? Or..." His lips formed a straight line and did not say any more.
"Will the prince retreat?" Xi Jue slowly said what Mo Xiuyu didn't say.
Reason tells Xi Jue that the prince should retreat. Now there is no food and grass, and arrows are lacking. Although the soldiers have high morale because of the consecutive victories, after a few battles, after all, the military is gradually exhausted... If the king of Zhennan agrees to send troops this time If you support him, then you can fight for a quick decision, minimize casualties, and retake Fuzhong City at the least cost. But rather...
Mo Xiuyu's expression was terrifyingly gloomy, and after a while, he said, "Now the morale of the southern barbarians is greatly damaged, if they don't pursue the victory while they are victorious, and give them the opportunity to cultivate their lives and recuperate, and dispatch reinforcements, this battle will probably drag on for several months. ...At that time, I don't know how many people will die!" Mo Xiuyu's hands were clenched into fists tightly, and the blue veins on the back of his hands bulged.
"Ayu..." Xi Jue looked at his friend worriedly, "We will definitely avenge your father!"
Mo Xiuyu is the son of Mo Li, a general in the Southern Border Army. A few months ago, when the war in the Southern Border began, Mo Pian led a thousand troops to fight the Nanman outside Fengyin City. If they will die in battle, the thousand men and horses will also be wiped out. Mo Pian will be Mo Xiuyu's only relative, Mo Xiuyu is eager to avenge his father, Xi Jue can understand, but the military orders are like mountains.
"Boom!"
Mo Xiuyu couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, he slammed his fist on the wooden stake next to him, and said through gritted teeth, "If the lord is willing to provide support..."
"Xiaowei Mo, Xiaowei Xi, you are back." A surprised voice suddenly came from behind Mo Xiuyu, Mo Xiuyu and Xi Jue looked at the sound and saw a soldier in armor not far away , about twenty years old.
"We just got back." Xi Jue quickly changed the subject, "Wang Jian, why did you get up so early?"
Wang Jian gave the two of them a deep look, and said dryly, "I'll go see my father."
"How is Wang Baihu's injury?" Xi Jue asked with concern.
"My father is much better." Wang Jian gestured to the steamed bun in his hand and said, "Xiaowei Mo, Xiaowei Xi, he is waiting for me to bring him breakfast, I will go first."
Xi Jue responded, and Wang Jian left, leaving Mo Xiuyu and Xi Jue to look at each other complicatedly, with the same question in their eyes: Did Wang Jian hear their conversation just now?
After saying goodbye to Mo and Xi, Wang Jianhun arrived at the wounded barracks.
In addition to the central tent, the largest tent in the vicinity is probably the wounded barracks, and there are about ten beds in one tent. Wang Jian walked towards the innermost bed, and saw a man in his forties struggling to get up. His appearance was 40 to 50% similar to Wang Jian, and he was obviously a father and son.
"Father, don't move, I'll help you..." Wang Jian hurriedly helped Wang Baihu to sit up.
Wang Baihu smiled nonchalantly: "I just injured my leg, not disabled..." Then he thought of something and asked, "A Jian, has General Tian returned from Fengjiang City?"
Wang Jian's eyes dimmed, and he nodded stiffly, while Wang Baihu's eyes lit up, and he said, "Great! Then won't we be able to attack Fuzhong City soon?"
Wang Baihu's words suddenly attracted several wounded soldiers in the camp, all of them looked at Wang Jian with burning eyes, but Wang Jian's face was even more ugly, his face sinking like water.
"What are you fighting for Fuzhong City!" Wang Jian suddenly said coldly, "Father, the lord didn't send any support at all, grain, arrows, reinforcements... not a single one!" At the entrance of the wounded barracks, Mo Xiuyu and Xi Jue did not know when they appeared there.
Mo Xiuyu and Xi Jue had a hint of helplessness in their eyes. It seemed that Wang Jian had heard their conversation just now. Fortunately, they were worried and followed.
At this time, Wang Baihu also saw Mo Xiuyu and Xi Jue, and asked: "Xiaowei Mo, Xiaowei Xi, didn't you two also go to Fengjiang City with General Tian? What's going on?"
The other wounded soldiers in the tent looked at each other in dismay, and then asked at a loss, "Yes, Captain Mo, Captain Xi, what's the matter?"
"Could it be that the lord really does not agree to support?"
"But why? As long as we take Fuzhong City and Kailian City, Nanmanzi can only withdraw from the southern border..."
"..."
The soldiers talked a lot, and they all felt that it was incredible, and surrounded Mo Xiuyu and Xi Jue to ask questions.
Xi Jue thought for a while, since King Zhennan gave an order, even if they can hide it for a while, they can't hide it for the rest of their lives, and everyone will always know.
Xi Jue sighed and recounted what he saw and heard in Fengjiang City this time.
Although the two of them couldn't see King Zhennan with their own eyes, Tian He's sentence "My lord may have other considerations" was enough for the soldiers to imagine...
King Zhennan really doesn't plan to support Shizi!
This realization shocked the soldiers. After doubts and shocks, anger grew wildly like weeds. This emotion seemed to be contagious and spread rapidly.
I don't know who was the first to say: "Since the lord refuses to support, is it possible that he wants the prince to retreat?"
The word "retreat" stabbed the hearts of every soldier present like a sharp arrow. War is a battle with life and blood. In the past few months, everyone has never slept a single one. A really stable and good sleep, every time I go to the battlefield, I watch my colleagues fall down one by one. If I am lucky, I will save my life.
The thing that everyone looks forward to the most is to defeat the Nanman as soon as possible, and then they can return to their homeland and be reunited with their parents and relatives.
But now King Zhennan actually wants to retreat?
Don't you retreat because you are defeated, but you have to retreat after winning a battle?
What's the point!
"I can't retreat!" A wounded soldier who was missing his left arm waved his right fist angrily, "Wherever the hateful Nanmanzi went, he burned, killed, looted, and even slaughtered several cities alive... My whole family, young and old, is... ..." His eyes were blood red and he could hardly speak.
The soldiers around him all knew that this wounded soldier's family was originally in Fengyin City. When Nanmanzi broke the city, he also massacred the city. His whole family died. Better to die! He was desperate to kill Nanmanzi on the battlefield, and kept saying that no matter how many Nanmanzi he killed, he would make a profit!
In fact, this one is the only one who is alone in this army. In the past few months of war, countless soldiers have lost their relatives, friends, colleagues... This leaves one after another in everyone's heart. At the moment, the biting cold wind seems to be whirling through those holes, making their hearts hurt, tighten, and chill...
"That's right, we can't retreat!" Wang Baihu resolutely agreed, "Master Shizi finally led us to this point..."
"Just one step away, we can defeat Nanmanzi, how can we retreat?"
"Could it be that the prince wants to surrender Fuzhong City and Kailian City to Nanman?"
"..."
Soldiers, your emotions are getting more and more excited, like boiling hot water, something seems to be rushing out of their chests.
The commotion in the Wounded Barracks attracted a lot of soldiers from outside, one after another. In the end, even the Wounded Barracks could not stay there, and they were surrounded outside the Wounded Barracks, and more and more soldiers heard about it. The movement of the people has heard the news, and there are more and more people. This area is like the raging waves on the sea on a stormy night, surging and surging.
Mo Xiuyu, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly flashed a firm light in his eyes, clenched his fists, and said loudly: "Brothers, let's go to the prince for help! We must not retreat!"
His shouting immediately attracted the response of the surrounding soldiers, one after another, like an ocean wave, one after another higher than one:
"Yes, you can't retreat!"
"Let's go to Shizi to ask for your life!"
"If you don't repel the Nanmanzi, you will never retreat!"
"..."
The soldiers were excited, and headed by Mo Xiuyu, they swarmed towards the central tent.
The noise outside naturally also alerted the generals in the central tent, and they surrounded Xiao Yi and walked out of the tent.
When he saw Xiao Yi leaving the tent, Mo Xiuyu was the first to take off his helmet, then knelt down on one knee and gave a respectful salute. Then, the soldiers behind him also took off their helmets and knelt down on one knee. Going down... At first glance, Xiao Yi's eyes were filled with black heads, almost all over the camp, and the atmosphere was dignified and depressing.
"Master Shi..." Mo Xiuyu wanted to say something, but Xiao Yi raised his hand to stop him.
Xiao Yi's eyes were decisive and bright, which convinced Mo Xiuyu unconsciously.
Xiao Yi looked around at the soldiers, and firmly and loudly ordered: "All the soldiers obey the order, and tomorrow they will pull out their camp and march into the mansion."
It was just a short sentence, and all the soldiers felt as if something was ignited. All eyes with flames of hope were focused on Xiao Yi. The hearts of the army were synchronized at this moment. , all have the same goal in mind:
Swear to follow the prince to the death!
Kill the southern barbarians!
Keep my southern border stable!
...
The news that Xiao Yi led troops to storm Fuzhong City reached the ears of King Zhennan at noon on the third day.
"This rebel is really eager for quick success and quick success, and has no strategy!" King Zhennan looked at the military report in his hand, couldn't help but slapped the desk, and scolded, "I don't want to withdraw the troops after running out of food and arrows. , this is clearly courting death!"
"My lord, do you want your subordinates to bring reinforcements there immediately?" Song Xiaojie, who came to deliver the military newspaper, asked tentatively.
"No need!" King Zhennan blurted out so angry that he didn't even want to think about it, but he regretted the words after he said it, and his heart was a little complicated. If you don't send reinforcements over, there might be an accident...
No matter how unfilial this Xiao Yi is, he is also his eldest son...
He was hesitating when a report came from outside the door: "My lord, the princess asks to see you."
King Zhennan's expression softened, then he put the military newspaper aside and said, "Please come in, princess."
After a while, Mrs. Fang walked in with a food box at her waist, and saw that she was wearing a pale smoky blue woven gold belt with bat pattern on the front, and a white horse-faced skirt with bat pattern embroidered on it. , five black cyan silk is pulled into a bun, and only a white jade bat pattern ruyi hairpin is inserted obliquely on the bun, which looks graceful and graceful.
As soon as Song Xiaojie saw Xiao Fang coming, he cupped his hands and said, "My lord, then the subordinates will retire first."
King Zhennan waved his hand and motioned him to go.
Song Xiaojie sighed inwardly, and saluted Xiao Fang again before exiting the study, looking back with a somewhat complicated expression.
"The concubine has seen the prince." Xiao Fang saluted the king of Zhennan with great manners, carefully covering the smile on the corner of his mouth, and his heart was overjoyed.
She heard it at the door of the study just now. King Zhennan didn't agree to send reinforcements to support Xiao Yi. This is really great. It's better that Xiao Yi is killed in battle, and it saves her the trouble of getting rid of what he gave her. Brother Luan give way!
"Princess, why are you here?" King Zhennan asked Xiao Fang to get up.
Mrs. Fang opened the food box with her own hands, "My concubine personally stewed the ginseng chicken soup. The prince has worked hard for the military situation recently, so it's better to make up for it."
King Zhennan looked at Xiao Fang with emotion: "I really have Princess Lao."
"Look at what the lord said, the lord is the husband of a concubine, and it is troublesome to cook chicken soup for the lord." Mrs. Fang glanced at King Zhennan angrily, and then said distressedly, "The lord is day and night for the sake of the southern border. I have lost a lot of weight due to hard work... I also ask the lord to take care of your health, you are the pillar of our Zhennan Wangfu, and the safety of the southern border is indispensable to you." As she said that, she brought a bowl of chicken soup to the Zhennan Wang, and the aroma was overflowing.
King Zhennan was very useful, but felt that every sentence of Mrs. Fang spoke to his heart, took it with relief, and sighed: "It's still the princess who understands this king and cares about this king. . . . It's the worst now. The situation has passed, Nanmanzi lost a few cities in a row, his spirit is gone, and he can no longer become a big climate."
Xiao Fang said happily: "Then the concubine is also relieved. This time I can defeat Nanman, thanks to A Yi..."
King Zhennan snorted impatiently: "It is indeed a great achievement for him to conquer the Lingchuan Canyon, but unfortunately he is too greedy for achievements, and he actually wants to take Fuzhong City in one go..." Speaking of which, King Zhennan Suddenly fell silent.
"My lord, this is a good thing. Why does the lord seem not happy, but what's wrong?" Little Fang asked worriedly.
King Zhennan frowned bitterly and said, "What a good thing! He was clearly dazzled by the victory after winning a few battles, thinking that he was invincible and invincible. Now he is running out of food and grass and his troops are exhausted, so he will fight at this time. Fuzhong City is clearly taking his soldiers to die..."
Xiao Fang was shocked and said: "My lord, since this is the case, you quickly issue an order to let Ayi come back!"
The muscles of King Zhennan's brows twitched, and he snorted coldly, "If only he would listen to this king."
Mrs. Fang frowned deeply and looked anxious, and persuaded: "The lord, since you can't convince A Yi, then you should send reinforcements there quickly, you can't watch A Yi's accident." She said again. He suggested, "Why don't the lord go there in person? If Ayi sees the lord rushing to support himself, he must be deeply moved..."
King Zhennan was silent.
Xiao Fang continued: "My lord, Yi is your eldest son, the heir of our Zhennan palace, the future king of Zhennan, now Yi is more and more promising, and has won several consecutive battles. The reputation in the army is getting higher and higher, and everyone praises our Zhennan palace as a tiger father without a dog. It is really a blessing for the palace to have such a brave and skilled heir... The concubine is also very gratified. Ah Yi has grown up, Now that you are sensible, you can help the lord more with the affairs of the southern border, and the lord can spend more time with his concubine in the future."
Mrs. Fang looked unhappy, but King Zhennan felt his heart agitated when he heard it, only felt that every sentence and every word was poking at his heart, and said angrily: "Hey, he is getting more and more aware. Now that he is prosperous, he is becoming less and less obedient to what this king says, so if he still wants to save him himself, wouldn’t he be even more disobedient to discipline in the future!”
Xiao Fang was secretly happy in his heart, but his mouth was soft and reassuring: "My lord, how can father and son have any overnight feud..."
"Okay, don't worry about this, this king has his own opinion." Zhennan King said solemnly.
Tiger Poison still doesn't eat offspring, so he naturally wouldn't watch Xiao Yi lose his life. But Xiao Yi is so disobedient, this time it's okay to let him suffer a little bit, or to let him know that the sky is high and the earth is high - it's not that he Xiao Yi can fight, but that their southern border army is brave and good at fighting.
Anyway, this Fuzhong City will not be defeated for a while. According to my estimation, it will be a stalemate for at least half a month. When Xiao Yi has no food and grass, and the reinforcements are delayed, you will know that it is very powerful. Let him beg him! In this way, he will learn to be good, and he will not dare to disobey his father and king casually in the future.
Xiao Fang suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and stopped persuading King Zhennan when he was enough. He just answered with a low eyebrow, and cared for King Zhennan softly, then left the study, and then hurried. Go to the west wing to find Xiao Luan.
Xiao Luan's servant Chongming was guarding outside the study. When he saw Xiao Fang, he was a little flustered. He took a few steps forward and bowed to Xiao Fang: "I have seen the princess."
He deliberately raised his voice, as if he was sending out a secret signal in the study. Mr. Fang was not stupid. He didn't know there was a problem, so he pushed Chongming away and walked into the study.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Xiao Luan lying reclining on the beauty's couch, with a copy of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" on his face, and he seemed to be sleeping soundly.
It turned out that my son was tired from reading and fell asleep. Xiao Fang breathed a sigh of relief and gave her maid Mingjing a look. Mingjing immediately stepped forward and planned to help Xiao Luan put away the book. She just picked up the book and was about to close it, but found that the book in her hand was a picture book at all, and it was...
Ming Jing's face immediately flushed, and she felt that the book in her hand was like a hot potato. When she panicked, the book fell to the ground.
Mrs. Fang frowned, and was about to scold Mingjing for being clumsy, but the corner of her eyes caught the book that fell on the ground, and her pupils shrank suddenly...
So, what is "Sun Tzu's Art of War", it is clearly selling dog meat with sheep's heads, and hidden under the cover of the book are pictures of erotic palaces. Unwillingly, he slapped Xiao Luan's head with his palm.
Snapped!
"Whoops! Who hit me?" Xiao Luan rubbed his hurt head, opened his eyes abruptly, and was about to get angry when he saw that it was Mrs. Fang who could hold back her anger and said with a poignant smile: "Mother Concubine, what are you doing?"
Seeing the sleepy look on his face, Xiao Fang couldn't help but say angrily: "What did you do last night? You sleep here during the day!" She snatched the spring palace picture she just picked up from Mingjing's hand, angrily He threw the ground on him, and laughed so much, "You can fall asleep looking at the erotic pictures, you are really promising!"
Although Xiao Luan was not afraid of Xiao Fang, she was still a little embarrassed and flustered when she caught her looking at the pictures of the erotic palace. She hurriedly stuffed the books into a stack of books and explained: "Mother, I have to read every day recently. My father still calls me to take an exam from time to time... I've been so tired that I haven't slept well for a few days, so I'm just hiding here..." Xiao Luan said with a sullen face, thinking to himself: He knows him Should stay in Luoyue City, should not come to Fengjiang City!
"That's because your father respects you, so don't be ignorant of your blessings." Xiao Fang nodded heavily on Xiao Luan's forehead and said, "Brother Luan, you have to fight for your mother and concubine, you can't let it go. Your eldest brother has overshadowed your limelight. If your eldest brother gains momentum in the future, we will not have a good life for our mother and son. "
"Look at what the concubine said, how could it be as serious as you said. How much ink is in my eldest brother's stomach, don't I know?" Xiao Luan said with disapproval.
"Brother Luan, don't take it seriously..." Xiao Fang sat down beside him with a solemn expression, and waved Mingjing away.
When only their mother and son were left in the study, she continued: "Now your eldest brother has won several battles in a row, made a lot of military exploits, and has conquered the hearts of many in the army. I won't be with you anymore." She gave Xiao Luan a light look, and said in a low voice, "Brother Luan, don't you want to be the king of Zhennan?"
How could Xiao Luan not want to be the king of Zhennan, who is under one person and more than ten thousand people, what's more, the emperor is thousands of miles away. If he becomes the king of Zhennan, he will have the final say in the entire southern border. Xiao Luan couldn't help swallowing and asked, "What does the concubine mean?"
"There is a great opportunity now..." Xiao Fang's mouth curled into a smug smile, "Your eldest brother is now attacking Fuzhong City, according to your father's words, then Fuzhong City may not be so easy to take down, and you Your father is really annoyed with your elder brother now, and will not send troops to help you for a while. When your elder brother has been attacking Fuzhong City for a long time, but has weakened the strength of the Nanman army, you can ask your father to invite troops, before leading the troops. Go to support and take the opportunity to capture Fuzhong City in one go, then this great military feat will fall on your head."
Xiao Fang's heart was very proud, so Xiao Yi lost, Xiao Luan won, and then chased Nanman out of the southern border. That Xiao Luan will definitely surpass Xiao Yi's in the army and the people of southern Xinjiang.
"I thought it was something, but that's what happened!" Xiao Luan said confidently, "Don't worry, mother-in-law, as long as you let me go to the battlefield, I can also win the battle." Xiao Luan thought disdainfully. : Even Xiao Yi, who is not good at writing and martial arts, can win several battles in a row. There is no reason to lose to him, who is much better than him in every aspect since he was a child. It was only because he didn't fight, that Xiao Yi got the limelight.
"Mother concubine naturally knows what you are capable of." Xiao Fang nodded in relief, "Then mother concubine will first wish my son a victory here..."
"Mother, don't be busy!" Xiao Luan rolled her eyes and interrupted Xiao Fang, "You can ask me to go to war, but you must promise me a condition first."
Xiao Fang's brows were slightly wrinkled, and there was a bit of displeasure in her tone, and she said, "Brother Luan, why did you discuss the conditions with the mother-in-law? What are your daily requirements, which mother-in-law did not follow... "Xiao Fang suddenly thought of a possibility, and his face became even more ugly.
really--
Xiao Luan said eagerly: "Mother, you have to agree to give Pian Pian a face..."
"No!" Xiao Fang's face sank, and he objected without thinking, "That's not good!" This elegant person really couldn't keep it, and he even tempted his son to make such a ridiculous request! My son is not married yet! How can I take a concubine first?
"If the concubine doesn't agree, then I won't go." Xiao Luan threatened without hesitation.
Mrs. Fang was so angry that her face turned black, she almost didn't catch her breath, she pointed at Xiao Luan with a trembling finger and said, "Brother Luan, do you even care about your future because of a woman? "
Mrs. Fang took a deep breath, trying to move it with love and reason, "Brother Luan, you heard from the mother-in-law that if you win the battle and gain military merit, you will become the prince and the king of Zhennan in the future. What kind of woman do you want by then..."
"But the only woman I want is Pian Pian!" Xiao Luan said eagerly, affectionately, "Mother concubine, I have already promised Pian Pian to let her enter the door in a dignified manner, what is the second young master of my dignified Zhennan Wangfu? How can you break your promise to a weak woman? In short, if you don't agree to my request, mother, don't expect me to listen to you!"
This child is indeed the creditor of the previous life! Xiao Fang felt a great headache. If he agreed, Xiao Luan had such a troublesome slut by his side. How could he be a good family in the future, but if he did not agree, Xiao Luan would not be willing to do so. Going to war... I might miss this great opportunity, and it will be gone.
After weighing the pros and cons, Mrs. Fang finally gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, the mother-in-law promises you, but you must win the battle before you can give that graceful face." Hmph, the future will be long, I have the opportunity to clean up that graceful, or Right now, coax your son well, and do the right thing.
"Okay, it's a deal." When Xiao Luan heard that Xiao Fang agreed to take the lead, he gave Pian Pian a smile. He was still here, but his heart had already flown back to Luo Yue City. If Pian Pian knew the good news, she would definitely... Xiao Luan laughed madly.
The handkerchief in Xiao Fang's hand was twisted, and a sullen look flashed in his eyes. That Pian Pian must not stay!
No matter what the king and wife of Zhennan thought, the fact that the prince Xiao Yi led the army to take down the Lingchuan Canyon and marched into Fuzhong City has spread throughout the southern border in a very short period of time. For this battle, the people of southern border are all Is looking forward to it.
They all saw it in their eyes. Since the prince returned to the southern border, he has won every battle, and has driven the abominable southern barbarians out of the southern border step by step. No one can erase this illustrious military exploits, so that the people who have been ravaged by the southern barbarians are grateful for it, day and night looking forward to the prince's early victory!
It is a blessing for all of them to be so heroic, brave and good at fighting!
On the other hand, the news that King Zhennan refused to provide any support to the prince was also secretly spread, and gradually fermented...
At the same time, in the royal capital thousands of miles away, Dali Temple Minister Wang Jing was standing outside the imperial study with a tangled face.
The matter in Huaiyuan County is not difficult to investigate. It is no longer a secret that the open source pawnshops have printed money. Even over the years, many people have been forced to die and their wives and families have been separated. Going to Huaiyuan County and asking for a little bit will make it clear. . At first Wang Jing thought it was just a simple case, as long as the result was communicated to the emperor, it would be up to the emperor to decide. I never imagined that this investigation would even involve the private affairs in Zhennan's mansion...
This Zhennan princess not only plotted to seize the property of her stepson Xiao Yi, but also opened a pawnshop and printed money under the guise of Xiao Yi's name, wantonly ruining Xiao Yi's reputation... Such evil deeds have long been spread in Huaiyuan County, but This kind of thing, how should he report to the emperor...
Of course it is impossible to hide it, but if you tell the truth, you will completely offend King Zhennan! Yes, Wang Jing didn't believe that this would be done by the women of Zhennan Wangfei District, and there was definitely the support of Zhennan Wang!
"Lord Wang." A servant came out of the imperial study, bowed and said, "The emperor let you in."
"Thank you, Eunuch."
Wang Jing adjusted his clothes and stepped into the door of the imperial study...
