461 ,
In the Northern Jin camp fifty miles outside Cangyun City, the deputy general looked anxiously at Tuoba Yin, who was already in a coma while lying on the bed, couldn't help but pace back and forth in the big tent. It was obviously a little bit away, but it was still a failure because of the arrival of Cangyun City Lord, which made the deputy general feel particularly frustrated and irritable. Looking at King Chen who had been rescued by them with all their strength but had been in a coma, the deputy general was a little worried. Now that Yan Fengxiao is back, His Highness Chen is seriously injured and unconscious. He knows that they have lost the best opportunity to attack Cangyun City. But whether to continue to wait for reinforcements or withdraw troops is not something that he, a deputy general, can make a decision.
I remembered the letter I sent to the capital early yesterday morning, and I hope the eldest prince can stabilize the situation in the court. Otherwise, today's defeat... His Highness Chen is probably to blame.
As for the situation in front of him, he glanced at Deputy General Tuoba Yin and said in his heart: "If His Highness Shen Wang doesn't wake up tomorrow morning, then withdraw his troops first."
The person on the bed groaned and slowly opened his eyes. The deputy general hurried forward, "Prince, how are you?" Tuoba Yin sat up from the bed without saying a word, looking down at the wound on his shoulder before asking, "How long have I been sleeping?" The deputy general said, "Prince has been sleeping for more than a day." As he spoke, the deputy general couldn't help but look at Tuoba Yin's shoulder again. Tuoba Yin looked at his gaze and also fell on his shoulder and said, "After saying that, how are my injuries?"
The deputy general sighed in his heart and whispered: "The doctor said that the prince's shoulder injury is a bit serious, and he has already injured his muscles and bones. From now on... he may not be able to use any force on his left arm. Even if it is better, it may hurt on cloudy and rainy days."
Tuoba Yin did not change his color because of this, as if he had known the result a long time ago. He just sighed and said, "I understand."
The deputy general looked at his plain expression, and he didn't know whether he should have breathed a sigh of relief or regret. He had to ask: "Prince, at the end of yesterday, we will order the entire army to retreat fifty miles to set up camp. Now we are..."
Tuoba Yin said lightly: "Wait, here... nothing is wrong." The deputy general was stunned, "Just wait here? Should you retreat a little longer? What if Yan Fengxiao leads his troops to attack..."
Tuoba Yin said: "Yan Fengxiao didn't bring many soldiers back at all. If he had to hold on to another battle yesterday, it would be fine. Now that he retreated and attacked again, it would be meaningless, but he should not be able to distribute many troops to attack us. We are here... waiting for His Majesty's order." The deputy general was already in his heart, "Prince, we..." Tuoba Yin smiled helplessly and waved his hand and said: "Man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. This is the fate. Go and rest."
Seeing that he didn't want to talk anymore, the deputy general had to sigh and bow down and leave.
Tuoba Yin was the only one left in the tent. Tuoba Yin was silent for a while before he raised his head and pulled the gauze on his shoulder. Although more than a day had passed, the wound with medicine still looked ferocious and terrifying. Chu Ling's knife was not very powerful before, and Tuoba Yin could not see it clearly behind him. However, yesterday Jun Wuhuan's shot really stabbed a blood hole in Tuoba Yin's shoulder. Not to mention, the force generated by the rotation of the silver spear expanded the wound a lot. In fact, it was not necessary for the deputy general to tell him that when he was stabbed in the shoulder with a shot, Tuoba Yin already knew how serious the consequences of this shot would be.
Looking at the wound, Tuoba Yin wrapped the wound back expressionlessly. The flesh-like wound seemed to have no effect on him.
Although it is not a waste of money in Cangyun City, it is almost the same. In order to trap the Northern Jin army, Chu Ling almost used up all the fuel and medicinal materials that could aid the ignition in the entire Cangyun City. There were countless soldiers who were injured and killed in this war. The soldiers who died in the battle needed to be placed and treated, and the seriously injured needed to be warned. They also had to be prepared for the Northern Jin army dozens of miles away. The entire Cangyun City was also busy. Therefore, Jun Wuhuan had almost never touched the bed and slept well after returning to Cangyun City.
When Chu Ling walked into the study, Jun Wuhuan was telling Ming Nuo something. When he saw her coming in, he immediately got up, "A Ling, why are you here?" Chu Ling said, "Come here to see if you have nothing to do, why? Trouble you?" Jun Wuhuan pulled Chu Ling to the side and sat down and smiled, "How could that be? But Yun Xingyue said you need a good rest." Chu Ling said helplessly, "I'm lying down and I'm almost exhausted."
Chu Ling looked at Ming Nuo who was standing aside and asked, "What are you talking about? Don't worry about me, continue." Ming Nuo said respectfully: "Back to Madam, the city lord is talking about resettlement of wounded soldiers in the army and sacrificing the fallen soldiers." Chu Ling nodded and looked up at Jun Wuhuan. Jun Wuhuan sighed lightly and said, "Don't worry, A Ling, these things... Cangyun City is actually used to doing." Indeed, Cangyun City has been standing in the north for more than ten years and has been besieged by the Northern Jin people. I don't know how many soldiers have died in battle to protect this tranquility.
Jun Wuhuan looked at Mingnuo and said, "That's it, you can do it first. In addition... Zhenniang said that Mingxuan also helped a lot this time? If you can't do it, let her follow you to help."
Mingnuo was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed, "Yes, the city lord." A few years ago, because of Mingxuan's collision with his wife, Mingnuo knew that the city lord had always been disliked by his own girls. Now that the city lord is willing to say this, he obviously no longer cares about the things that happened back then. How could Mingnuo not be happy? Although the city lord is not the one who takes revenge on his own, if the city lord doesn't like someone, that person's life in Cangyun City will never be very easy.
Seeing Mingnuo withdrawing, Chu Ling said with great interest: "In a blink of an eye, a few years have passed, and Mingnuo has become much more calm."
Jun Wuhuan snorted lightly, looked at Chu Ling's complexion in a low voice and frowned slightly, "The face is still a little pale." Chu Ling said helplessly, "It's only been a few days now, no matter how powerful Yun Xingyue is, she is not a god, but can I recover in an instant?" Jun Wuhuan was silent for a moment, and gently pulled her into his arms. Chu Ling said angrily, "I'm fine, don't think about this anymore."
Jun Wuhuan smiled helplessly, how could he not think about it?
"This time it was my mistake. If I hadn't been anxious to achieve success... I wouldn't have put Cangyun City in a dangerous place." Jun Wuhuan said.
Chu Ling raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "If you don't say it, I haven't remembered to ask you, what are you thinking this time? Although... General Xie is good at abilities, you are too risky. Haven't you ever thought about... General Xie's age, even if nothing happens, it is possible..." This is indeed the negligence of Jun Wuhuan. Even if Baili Qinghong did not kill Xie Tingze, it would be impossible to go to the battlefield with Xie Tingze's age. Jun Wuhuan can do his best to protect Xie Tingze's safety, but he cannot imagine in advance what to do if something unexpected happens. And this time, Jun Wuhuan obviously did not consider this point. This mistake is quite low-level for Jun Wuhuan and should not have happened.
Jun Wuhuan leaned against Chu Ling and said tiredly: "I'm too impatient. Now is the best time to take over the northwest border. Taking advantage of the attention of the Northern Jin people being attracted by the Western Qin border and Runzhou. I originally thought that even if something unexpected happened, I, Han Tianning and Yu Fanzhou in Runzhou, could always come back in time." This time, although Jun Wuhuan did come back, it was too dangerous. Just a little bit, he was almost separated from A Ling Tianren forever. Thinking of this, Jun Wuhuan's hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Seeing him like this, Chu Ling felt a little reluctant to blame him. After a moment of silence, he whispered: "You are not an impatient person, why are you this time?"
Jun Wuhuan leaned against Chu Ling, closed his eyes slightly and whispered: "West Qin rebelled, Tuoba Liang would definitely want to form an alliance with the Western Regions tribes. If we cannot break the way to enter the Northwest border first, the Western Regions barbarians will enter the Northwest from the Northwest to the Pass in the future, it will be even more difficult for us to deal with." Chu Ling frowned slightly, "Tuoba Liang will let the barbarians enter the Pass?" Jun Wuhuan snorted softly: "The people of the Clan are leisurely in the control of the Northwest border, the people are strong in the northwest, the people are martial, and the bandits are rampant, but the land is barren. The Clans have limited military strength and are unwilling to waste too much military power in that kind of place. If those places are ceded to the Western Regions barbarians in exchange for their help, then which one is not better than the desolate land in the Northwest?"
Chu Ling said: "He isn't afraid that it's easy to invite God and send him to God?"
Jun Wuhuan smiled faintly and said, "There are many barbarian tribes in the Western Regions. If they want to invade the Central Plains east, they are afraid they will have to attack a leader themselves first. What are Tuoba Liang worried about this?"
Chu Ling looked at him and said, "Okay, you have made sense. So... Now General Bai Xing has brought people to the northwest?"
"And Shen Huai." Jun Wuhuan said, "When the war on the border of the Western Qin Dynasty calmed down, I sent him too."
Chu Ling was silent for a while before saying, "Cangyun City is indeed extremely courageous." Jiang Jishi was still in Xiqin and did not come back. Bai Xing and Shen Huai went to the northwest. Han Tianning and Yu Fanzhou were in Runzhou, which means that Jun Wuhuan is still the only one guarding Cangyun City. He glared at him unhappyly, and Chu Ling said, "Han Tianning should be about to come back." Jun Wuhuan hugged her and said softly: "A Ling can't leave Cangyun City before his internal injuries are healed. Han Tianning should let him stay in Runzhou now. With him and Yu Fanzhou here, Zhao Bo'an and Ge Danfeng are not mediocre, so they should be enough to deal with the situation in Runzhou."
Chu Ling frowned slightly. As soon as Zhuo started fighting, the man who led the troops was no longer like that? Just as he was about to refute, Jun Wuhuan reached out to cover his lips and said, "A Ling, be obedient. No matter what, leave after the injury is healed. Don't worry... Even if Yu Fanzhou is not good, he will not be able to be anything to a Tarkqin."
Chu Ling frowned and said, "I'm not worried about Yu Fanzhou and the others, I'm a little worried about Xinzhou..."
Jun Wuhuan said: "Don't worry, A Ling... What we need to pay attention to later should be Shangjing. Tuoba Liang may not be in the mood to cause trouble for Xinzhou Army recently."
Chu Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Jun Wuhuan and signaled him to express his opinion. Jun Wuhuan chuckled, raised his eyebrows and said, "A Ling, Tuoba Yin failed again this time. What do you think of Tuoba Liang?"
Chu Ling was stunned. She had been sleeping drowsy these two days and forgot to think about this matter.
Tuoba Liang had no good intentions towards Tuoba Yin. Now Tuoba Yin has delayed the rescue of the Northern Jin army on the border of the Western Qin Dynasty, and the besiege of Cangyun City has failed again. How will Tuoba Liang deal with Tuoba Yin? No matter how he deals with it, Tuoba Yin will definitely not make it easier. But Tuoba Luo and the powerful people who supported the ancestors of the Shangjing Imperial City are willing to let Tuoba Liang treat Tuoba Yin? Of course, they cannot. So... there is a bloody storm in the Shangjing Imperial City.
"Will Tuoba Liang send someone to replace Tuoba Yin or withdraw his troops directly?" Chu Ling asked thoughtfully.
Jun Wuhuan said: "It is probably impossible to withdraw the troops, but if you send someone to... it is a problem for whom you send."
Northern Jin was indeed a powerful general, but there were not many generals who could be compared with the Lord of Cangyun City. Because the successive failures in the years of expedition to Cangyun City have made the reputation of Cangyun City reach a terrible height in the northern land. Since Tuoba Xingye left, almost no one in the Northern Jin Dynasty except Tuoba Yin could compete with Yan Fengxiao. Now Tuoba Yin was seriously injured, and as soon as the news spread, they would be suppressed by Yan Fengxiao immediately. It can be said that the Lord of Cangyun City has the current reputation that he has been stepping on the shoulders of the generals of the Northern Jin who have been attacking Cangyun City for many years.
Chu Ling asked, "Do you know what's going on?"
Jun Wuhuan frowned and said, "I am afraid that ordinary general Tuoba Yin can't rest assured. The ones who can compete with me are probably Baili Qinghong, Su He Mingguang and Nangong Yuyue. But... Su He Mingguang is a foreign tribe Tuoba Liang, not to mention Nangong Yuyue, Tuoba Liang could not use him at all. But if it was Baili Qinghong... Tuoba Liang wanted him to kill Xie Tingze, he should have the intention of using it. But letting him attack Cangyun City... may not be."
"Hmm?" Chu Ling was a little puzzled.
Jun Wuhuan laughed and said, "It's as powerful as Tuoba Yin, who also failed in Cangyun City. Since Tuoba Liang wants to use Baili Qinghong more, he must cherish it. If Baili Qinghong makes another fight in Cangyun City, Baili Qinghong's chess piece will be ruined."
"Then who do you think Tuoba Liang will send?" Chu Ling asked.
Jun Wuhuan said: "Tuoba Zan."
"Tuoba Zan?" Chu Ling was surprised, "If even Tuoba Yin failed in Cangyun City, where did Tuoba Liang get the confidence that Tuoba Zan can?"
Jun Wuhuan shook his head and said, "He doesn't need Tuoba Zan to capture Cangyun City. As long as Tuoba Zan surrounds Cangyun City, we can't do anything else. Don't forget that Tuoba Zan still has a secret army of the ancestor's emperor. If he doesn't waste it, how can Tuoba Liang feel at ease?" Chu Ling suddenly realized that Tuoba Liang led his people to trap Cangyun City, and Baili Qinghong or other generals sent troops to Xinzhou and other places in Runzhou. When all the places outside Cangyun City were pacified, Cangyun City would naturally be unable to roar?"
Jun Wuhuan nodded and smiled, "That's about that."
Chu Ling frowned and said, "If so, Runzhou..."
"Don't worry." Jun Wuhuan hugged Chu Ling, pillowed her chin and whispered: "Even if that's the case, it will take some time. Now... Tuoba Liang should still want to chat with Tianqi more."
Chu Ling frowned and said, "He wants to use his father and the court officials of the Apocalypse to force me to withdraw my troops?"
Jun Wuhuan opened his eyes, his eyes were cold, "I'm afraid it's not just that I want you to withdraw my troops, if it's a pity... it's better to take your life. Ah Ling, don't leave Cangyun City soon, do you understand?" Hearing his repeated and solemn instructions, Chu Ling also understood his concerns a little. He sighed lightly, nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will not run around unless I have to."
Jun Wuhuan said firmly: "No last resort, no matter what happens to Apocalypse, Ah Ling doesn't have to pay attention to it. Our previous plan did not expect Apocalypse to give much help, right?"
Chu Ling nodded. They did plan like this before. Because they knew the virtues of the court officials of Tianqi, they had long been scared by the people of the Clan. If they wanted them to bet on their daily life and fight with them to the end, it would be better to do it yourself at least to be less restrictive, "I understand."
Jun Wuhuan nodded with satisfaction and said, "I have time in two days. A Ling will accompany me to see the old general Xie." Jun Wuhuan was naturally full of admiration for Xie Tingze. No matter who it is, he would be full of admiration for such a veteran general who has been in a lifelong military service. What's more... Xie Tingze's death... Jun Wuhuan sighed lightly and said nothing.
Chu Ling nodded and said, "Okay, that day Yun Xingyue hurriedly buried the old general Xie, and I should go and have a look again. It's a pity..." It's a pity that General Xie's head was taken away by Baili Qinghong.
Jun Wuhuan whispered: "Don't think too much, one day, General Xie will rest in peace."
