Feeling that she was about to be swallowed up by his eyes, she smiled and said coquettishly: "Don't look at me like that, it's so scary."
"What you said came true so quickly." He put his arm around her shoulders and held her against his chest, as if a gust of wind could blow her away.
Her fingers kept drawing circles on his chest: "Yes. But you, a great general, don't seem to be impatient at all? Just like someone who has nothing to do."
He said calmly: "Because I have already expected this situation. I have reminded the emperor more than once and given him suggestions to prevent this situation. Now that the matter has come to this, I am just a little helpless, but not shocked." Since Cao Rui,
From the day he captured Youzhou City, the young general has been constantly concerned about the defense of Youzhou City. In addition to reporting to the emperor, he also wrote a letter, instructing Cao Rui to assist in the defense of Waqiao Pass. However, Cao Rui was too ambitious.
Seeing that the attitude of the generals guarding the city at Waqiao Pass was lukewarm, they ignored him and swept away the snow in front of their gates.
"What about your master and Yang Jinzhong?" Gong Yueyue knew that her husband was related to the wealth and lives of the people around him, and he would never ignore it.
He said tepidly: "The only thing we can do is try our best to rescue."
She raised her head and looked at his starry eyes and slightly stretched chin, knowing that the four-core CPU in his brain was running rapidly at the moment: "My husband, do you have any ideas?" She liked him so much when he was deep in thought.
State. She had never seen any man before who could be as calm and calm as he was when he was racking his brains to think of problems.
He gently pecked the hair on the top of her head, but his thoughts were still fighting the enemy in the air: "Only when I have a better understanding of the fighting situation between the two sides can I consider strategies to defeat the enemy."
"Are you going to Kaifeng now?" She couldn't bear to leave his warmth, her whole body clung to him and connected seamlessly with him.
A doting smile bloomed on his face: "I'll take you with me."
She had ten thousand wishes in her heart, but she said: "Oh no, no, I'm pregnant, how can I run around with you? If my parents find out, I will scold you to death."
"Then just stay at home and wait for me. Don't run around and don't make me worry."
"I know, just feel free to go." She didn't want to pester him anymore, fearing that he would be too worried about his heart and affect his judgment. She tied the knot of his cloak for him, and took a moderate taste of the sweetness of each other's lips and tongues, and then she behaved obediently.
Send him out.
Just when he was about to get on the carriage, she stepped forward and stopped him: "Hey, wait a minute."
"Ma'am, do you have any instructions?"
She straightened her expression and warned him solemnly: "Don't tell others what I said to you. Remember, history cannot be changed."
These old-fashioned words, coming from her cute face, really made him happy. He couldn't help but pinch her pink nose: "Remember, this is a secret between the lady and me. I
I will never tell anyone else.”
"Be careful with everything."
The east has turned white, and the emperor couldn't sleep a wink. He tossed and turned on the Dragon Collapse, filled with sorrow. The late emperor's last wish was to take back the Sixteenth Province of Youyun. So even though he knew that there were many difficulties and dangers ahead, he still had to try his best to save his life.
The late emperor fulfilled his last wish. I thought that taking Youzhou City would allow the Song Dynasty's cavalry to gain a foothold in the lost territory and regain the lost territory and dignity of their ancestors in the near future. But I didn't expect that the victory would be so short-lived.
And fragile.
What made the emperor even more annoyed was that Zhao Changyuan reminded him more than once to take advantage of the situation to capture Zhuzhou and break the encirclement. But he ignored this crucial suggestion again and again. Who should blame him for not having a sense of the overall situation?
Or was it because he didn't have confidence in Zhao Changyuan? He spent the whole night anxious and annoyed, and finally came up with the answer that made him the best - God's will.
It wasn't until Tong Guiren informed him that Zhao Changyuan and Wei Tingyue were already waiting outside the Jinluan Palace that he got up from the bed with difficulty. After washing up, he rode a dragon and rushed to the Jinluan Palace. "I think it must be something about Youzhou City, two dear friends.
We already know. In this situation, what do you two have to say?"
Wei Tingyue took the lead and stepped forward with two dark circles under his eyes: "Your Majesty, this time the Liao army mobilized 200,000 troops to march south to conquer the state. The purpose is probably not just to take back Youzhou! In my opinion, it is better to give up.
For Youzhou City, the best strategy is to make every effort to consolidate the defense of our border city."
When Zhao Changyuan heard this, he immediately turned to look at Wei Tingyue, his expression showing no emotion or anger. This action was noticed by the emperor.
"Zhao Aiqing, you seem to have a different opinion?" The emperor's uncle did not dare to ignore this little general who seemed to have "not even grown hair yet" this time.
Wei Tingyue rolled his eyes at the young general, thinking that he would definitely oppose him. Unexpectedly, the young general stepped forward and said: "Back to the emperor, I also agree with General Wei. It is better for a strong man to cut off his wrist than to lose everything."
." Wei Tingyue couldn't help but feel happy. The sun was really shining in the west, and this arrogant pretty girl actually coincided with him.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Changyuan paused and continued unhurriedly: "I am just asking the emperor to try to rescue the two generals Cao Yang."
This sentence just poked at the emperor's biggest dilemma at present. Logically speaking, in order to preserve the overall situation, the entire Song Dynasty should go all out to respond to the Liao Kingdom's massive dispatch. Under the current situation, not a single Youzhou city can
If they don't give up, the lives of the two generals will be in jeopardy.
After thinking about this, the emperor frowned slightly and couldn't find the right words to respond to Zhao Changyuan. Wei Tingyue saw the confusion on the emperor's face, so he snorted coldly and asked the young general in a smart way: "Hey, Wei doesn't quite understand what General Zhao said.
It's over. Cao and Yang have lost their city. Do the defeated generals still have the nerve to let us come to rescue them?"
When the emperor's uncle heard this, he almost knocked over the tea in his hand. He lowered his head and frowned and cursed in his mind: "Cousin, cousin, are there people who can't talk like you? Are you just looking for someone to quarrel with?
Is that so? I am worried that I cannot calm down the military attachés. Aren’t you causing trouble for me?”
Sure enough, General Wei's words made Zhao Changyuan stand motionless in the palace. His little face turned from white to red, and then from red to blue. He wanted to use curse words, but he had to take into account the face of the ancestors of the Zhao family. Finally, he took a deep breath and looked sideways.
Wei Tingyue stretched his chin and asked in a cold voice: "General Wei, have you ever heard of a poem? The soldiers are half dead in front of the army, but the beauties are still singing and dancing under the tent. Do you know what it means?"
Wei Tingyue gave him a big eye roll and responded unceremoniously: "Speak directly if you have something to say, don't show off to me!"
"The two generals Cao and Yang are far away from their homeland and farewell to their families. They have always done their duty in guarding Youzhou City and have never been negligent or guilty. Now it is because of the capture of Waqiao Pass that they are in a situation where they are besieged on all sides. The four words of a defeated army are those of generals.
, I wonder how General Wei, who is in a peaceful land with his beautiful wife and concubine in his arms, can say this?"
What the young general said was extremely rude. He really had a deep grudge against Wei Tingyue and could not control his temper. Now that Cao and Yang were in trouble, anyone could make sarcastic remarks, but Wei Tingyue could not. Because he was famous for his achievements and achievements.
He is a scumbag in the military world. He always takes advantage of the fact that he is a relative of the emperor, and he loves to add insult to injury by making sarcastic remarks and trampling on generals who have encountered misfortune. This time, he was beaten by Zhao Changyuan.
They hit each other head on, how could there be any reason to let him talk nonsense?
After what happened to Dongdu Xia, Wei Tingyue found out that Zhao Changyuan held great weight in the emperor's mind. In addition, although this young boy looked bookish, he was very fierce when fighting. His men had seen it with their own eyes, and they were very hostile to Zhao Changyuan.
He described it this way: "It's like a Tibetan mastiff. Anyone who gets stuck on it will immediately turn into a gourd of blood!" In the past, Guo Chongxi was the one who suppressed him, but now in the court, this pretty boy is probably the best at beating him. He was secretly glad that
I didn't really get into a fight with this "Tibetan Mastiff" last time in the main hall.
"Haha, Wei knows that Cao and Yang have a special relationship with General Zhao. No wonder General Zhao is worried about their lives. I blame Wei for talking too much, just pretend I didn't say anything." Although Wei Tingyue planned to shut up in time, he still gave the order.
Zhao Changyuan's cold words.
The emperor really didn't want his idiot cousin to talk nonsense under his nose anymore and make things worse. Before Zhao Changyuan could speak, he took the lead and said: "Zhao Aiqing, to tell you the truth, I am also thinking about Cao Rui and Yang
The safety of the two loyal people is in danger. However, given the current situation, I am afraid that even if I send troops to rescue, it will be in vain in the end and will also damage more of our military strength. You know, if you want to enter Youzhou, you have to break through Yingzhou and Mozhou again.
Hewaqiaoguan, in the current situation, is it easier said than done?"
Wei Tingyue smiled proudly and shook his head. Zhao Changyuan looked indifferent and did not comment for the time being.
The emperor continued: "I know that you feel uncomfortable, and I feel uncomfortable too. But the most important thing for us now is to think about how to resist the threat of 200,000 Liao soldiers."
Speaking of this, Tong Guiren suddenly came into the palace and announced: "Your Majesty, General Yang Guodong and General Yang Jinyi are both outside the palace asking for an audience!"
The emperor hesitated for a moment, and finally said loudly: "Xuan!"
"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor!" "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor!" The Yang family father and son entered the palace and saluted, not daring to neglect at all.
"No need to pay tribute."
"Long live thanks!" "Long live thanks!"
"I wonder what the reason is for these two beloved ministers coming to see me?" the emperor asked knowingly.
Yang Guodong came forward and knelt down again to plead: "Your Majesty, I... I am here to beg the Emperor for my dog Yang Jinzhong..."
Before his father finished speaking, Yang Jinyi came forward and prostrated himself on the ground: "Please allow the emperor to allow me to lead troops to rescue my elder brother!"
The emperor responded helplessly: "Oh, just now your son-in-law begged me for this matter."
"Please, Your Majesty, have mercy!" Zhao Changyuan took the opportunity to help.
"It's not that I don't cherish my two beloved generals. Thinking about Youzhou City and the lives of tens of thousands of our Song Dynasty men, how could I not feel distressed? But now, there are 200,000 Liao troops guarding Waqiao
Guan He Zhuzhou, how easy is it to rescue them? I really can't bear to see General Yang Jinyi fall into the tiger's mouth." The emperor's words were sincere and quite reasonable.
Yang Jinyi couldn't hear it, he tightened his chin and said with red eyes: "Your Majesty, I am not afraid of death. If you want me to watch my elder brother trapped and die in Youzhou City, but stay out of it, then I would really rather die headlong."
