253 Rules are dead, so can people(2/2)
Chang Kuo, Wei Shuyi, and the general who came with Wei Shuyi were handling the follow-up matters and tracking down Li Yi's accomplices in the army.
Chang Sui Ning had some leisure time and was sitting in front of the fire, warming himself by the fire and watching the stars.
A Dian raised his head and looked at the stars and the moon for a long time. Then he thought of something and looked thoughtfully at the girl sitting next to him.
She changed out of her military uniform and now wore a sandalwood round-neck robe with a black cloak on top. Her ponytail hung behind her head. She sat there with her hands on her back and looked up.
Staring at the stars, there is not much expression on his face, I don’t know what he is thinking.
A Dian looked a little lost in thought, as if he felt his eyes were dazzled. He blinked hard and looked again, but he was lost in thought again.
Sensing his gaze, Chang Suining turned around and asked him, "What's wrong?"
The firelight made her face somewhat hazy, and after hearing this question, A Dian somehow managed to hold it back for a moment, and then suddenly burst into tears with a "woo".
Chang Suining was stunned: "What's going on?"
"I miss you, Your Highness!"
A Dian cried and squeezed towards her, staying close to her, hugging his knees, and burying his head on her shoulder with some effort, like a big injured lion leaning on a little white rabbit.
.
He didn't understand what it meant to miss someone when he saw something, or to be moved by the scene. He didn't understand where this surge of longing came from, so he could only bury his head and cry.
Chang Suining patted his back gently and was about to say something when a voice sounded before her.
"Why, General A Dian was bullied by Mrs. Chang?"
Wei Shuyi came over and said, "You can tell me, and I will seek justice for you."
A Dian also knew that it was embarrassing to cry. Hearing the sound, he quickly raised his head and wiped his tears, choking and saying: "Little A Li will not bully me... She is as good as Your Highness."
Then he looked at Chang Sui Ning with a pair of pitiful tearful eyes: "Little A Li is exactly the same as His Highness, they are very similar."
Wei Shuyi's eyes flashed with a smile: "What General A Dian said is His Royal Highness the First Prince?"
Although A Dian didn't know the difference between the words "former prince", but after hearing it many times over the years, he knew that the "former prince" was his highness, so he nodded while wiping his tears.
Wei Shuyi wanted to ask again, but a voice interrupted him: "Is Minister Wei also here to warm himself by the fire?"
"Yes." Wei Shuyi came back to his senses and sat down cross-legged slowly.
Chang Suining asked Ah Che to take Ah Dian back to the tent to sleep.
"I haven't seen Mrs. Chang for a long time." Wei Shuyi said with a smile: "I have heard a lot about Mrs. Chang's deeds along the way. Now that I see Mrs. Chang in peace, I feel at ease."
Chang Suining smiled and asked him: "How could Wei Shilang think of rushing directly and secretly to conquer the 80,000-strong army near Yangzhou?"
"If you want to send troops to conquer various places, you will inevitably have to fight with each other, which is time-consuming and energy-consuming. Instead of asking for help, it is better to draw out the firepower from the bottom." He said and smiled: "Of course, only half of it is taken."
"But this move is very risky." Chang Suining asked him: "The 80,000-strong army must be controlled by Li Yi's confidants. It is not easy to conquer it. Moreover, the camp is near Yangzhou, and there are many informants from Xu Zhengye, so Wei Shilang is not afraid.
Is there no return?"
"Of course I'm afraid." Wei Shuyi looked at her and smiled: "But when I heard that Hezhou was secured, I expected that General Chang and Madam Chang would come from the direction of Hezhou to intercept Li Yi. This move was also very risky... for
Being able to connect with Mrs. Chang in time, even though Wei was afraid, he still wanted to take the risk."
"But I didn't expect that although Wei came late, Mrs. Chang had already captured Li Yi. She had borrowed soldiers from Chuzhou." He said and sighed: "This risk I took was in vain."
Chang Suining: "It's not a waste of money, at least it saves you worries and many unnecessary casualties... With so many lives lost, Minister Wei has done a great deed."
Wei Shuyi laughed after hearing this, and followed her words and added: "There is another one, at least it doesn't hold Mrs. Chang back."
Chang Sui Ning was not humble and polite, and nodded: "That's right."
She was really afraid that some idiot would not be able to help, but would make the situation even more chaotic.
"But I'm very curious, how did Wei Shilang subdue the 80,000 troops?" She rarely asked Wei Shuyi for advice.
He was a civilian official and had no prestige in the army. Even though he was followed by the military commander, she thought that the man was very strange and he was not a familiar person with great prestige.
Even with the Holy Purpose at his disposal, in such a situation, Wei Shuyi was able to subdue the 80,000-strong army controlled by Li Yi's confidants in such a short period of time and almost without anyone noticing. It is really admirable, but also really puzzling.
.
She just opened her mouth to ask what happened, but he didn't answer, so she asked directly again.
"Ms. Chang, do you think Wei doesn't have this ability?" Wei Shuyi asked in response.
"That's not true." Chang Suining said truthfully, "I'm just eager to learn."
"Mrs. Chang has shown such extraordinary talent and is so eager to learn. Are you not going to leave a way for mediocre people like me to survive?"
Chang Suining looked at him suspiciously: "Why, is it some kind of winning secret that cannot be explained or passed on to others?"
"I wanted to avoid talking about it, but I couldn't avoid it..." Faced with her curiosity that wouldn't give up until she got an answer, Wei Shuyi sighed half-heartedly, took something out of his sleeve and handed it to Chang Suining: "
