Lei Fengqi also came out of his sadness for his family: "Gao Shan is right, Xiao Yu, we reminded Pingjiang Hou in advance, and there was your relative, Mr. Yu Xinzhong, at that time. Even if Pingjiang Hou didn't pay attention, Mr. Yu would remind him again.
he."
Yu Wuluo was surprised and happy: "They are all still here, that's great. But," she became worried again: "Where are they? Do we need to rescue them?"
"The area under the jurisdiction of Marquis Pingjiang is long and narrow, interspersed within the territory of Shunxing Qingchang. It is not wrong for Shunxing Qingchang to attack him first. In addition, Marquis Ningjiang cannot avoid the battle now. Shunxing Qingchang will attack him from behind.
The reinforcement path is blocked, as long as the official road connected to Ningjiang Marquis is guarded, Shunxing Qingchang can safely go all the way to Beijing."
Gao Shan retorted: "What does it mean to hit him first? Brother Xiao Yu is about to cry. Is this what you said in human language?"
Lei Fengqi was not angry: "I am speaking from a tactical point of view. It is not wrong for ambitious people to defeat Jianghou Mansion first."
Turning to look at Yu Wuluo, his gentle smile came out again: "Tactically speaking, Pingjiang Marquis Mansion has too few men and horses to be an opponent. Instead of fighting until there are countless injuries and then abandoning the city, it is better to abandon the city directly and settle down the family and people.
Or take them with you to meet up with the Taiping Hou Mansion. If the two families join forces and fight together, they will have a better chance of winning."
Yu Wuluo's heart cleared away most of the gloom, and he smiled cheerfully: "Yes, that's right,"
He asked hurriedly: "How many people are there in the Pingjiang Marquis Mansion?"
"It should be more than the Siping Marquis Mansion. The Siping Marquis Mansion has 30,000 people, and the Pingjiang Marquis Mansion will have more than 40,000 people."
"There are 38,000 registered troops, and there should be more than 40,000 temporary conscripts when the city is abandoned." Xu Fuzu suddenly interrupted.
Yu Wuluo and Lei Fengqi looked at him together. Everything in front of them showed that troubled times had begun, and all the clues they collected on the road should be taken seriously.
Including proactive clues delivered to your door.
Xu?
The family they recently heard about was named Xu. It was one of the three feudal families that had been fighting with the Pingjiang Marquis Mansion for several years. Wu Guogong was dead, but Xu Guogong and Liang Guogong were still there.
Thinking of this, the two looked at each other again, assuming that Xu Fuzu was from the Xu family, so they might as well ask a few more questions.
Lei Fengqi asked in a serious tone: "How do you know so clearly?"
Xu Fuzu's expression dimmed for a moment and he replied calmly: "I used to live near here, so I was intercepted when I was fleeing to Ningjiang Marquis, so I can go on the road with you. I am relatively clear about the military strength of Pingjiang Marquis' residence."
Yu Wuluo thought to himself that he had forgotten that it was you who followed us from the Ningjiang Marquis Mansion and was always suspicious of you.
Everyone who followed along the way had a reason, just like when Yu Wuluo went out and met Lei Qigaoshan, didn't everyone doubt each other?
I had the same suspicion for a long time.
Until now, we can still live and die together, but we cannot share true love.
Xiao Yu didn't know that Lei Qi was Lei Fengqi, and Xiao Yu never revealed his true identity.
The trust in Lei Qigaoshan comes from the fact that they abide by the rules or behave like gentlemen. The same is true for Xu Fuzu. He can also avoid asking around, keep his doubts in his heart, and not disturb his little cousin's arrogant behavior, such as
The little cousin cooks his meal alone, and everyone else keeps a distance from where the little cousin sits.
This way they did not chase people away on the way, and Xu Fuzu was able to come here together.
Yu Wuluo could do the same to him. He didn't say anything, so he didn't ask any more questions. At this time, he just said: "It's the same Hou Mansion, why do Pingjiang Hou Mansion have more people?"
"Alas, in the successive battles between the Pingjiang Marquis Mansion and the three princes, the military strength of the three princes was constantly weakened. In the end, except for leaving three hundred soldiers for each of the three princes, the Pingjiang Mansion took away all the troops. So he has many
Thousands of troops came out."
Xu Fuzu felt helpless.
Yu Wuluo cared for him and stopped asking further questions.
I just asked Lei Fengqi: "Brother Lei, do the calculations. If Pingjiang Marquis Mansion joins Taiping Marquis Grandfather, and then joins Siping Marquis, how many people will there be?"
"The Taiping Marquis only has 10,000 people out, and the temporary conscription can exceed 20,000 at most. Any more will be difficult to control. In addition, Pingjiang Marquis 40,000, Siping Marquis 30,000, 90,000 or close to 100,000."
Lei Fengqi smiled: "Although Shunxing and Qingchang add up to more than 300,000, the siege force and the defensive force do not need to be the same. One hundred thousand people can defend the official road to the capital."
Yu Wuluo thought to herself that this was really good news. Pingjiang Marquis could save his troops, and his second uncle and his wife would be fine. She smiled brightly: "Then the first important thing is to prevent Guangyang City from being captured."
?”
Lei Fengqi smiled and asked her: "Don't you go and see where Pingjiang Marquis has sent all the people in the city?"
Yu Wuluo said: "With Lord Yu Xinzhong here, I can roughly guess where the people in the city are now."
...
It was another foggy day on Qixiang Lake. Yu Xinzhong was not surprised by this. According to his father's memories he heard, Qixiang Lake was always foggy.
Wiping off his sweat, he said to the accompanying officials: "Stop, I'll go shout."
Most of the accompanying officials had never heard of the secret of the deposed prince. The confidence of following Yu Xinzhong here came from the fact that the people must be settled. Master Yu said that he had a way, which was better than that everyone could not find a safe place.
Seeing the vast mist that could not see the sky and the earth, the accompanying officials were worried: "Sir, this is indeed a good place at first glance, but we must be able to enter and find a safe place. Otherwise, although the war seems to be unable to enter, we will
It’s not okay to stay by the lake.”
"My lords, you've had a hard journey all the way. Please rest here. It's quite cool by the lake. When I pick up my wife, we can talk to each other together."
Yu Xinzhong walked towards the car in the middle of the queue. Mrs. Pingjiang Hou and his wife, the Second Grandma, crowded into one car. The extra cars were given to the elderly people.
Mrs. Pingjiang Hou was still as kind as when she was pampered at home: "Master Yu, are we there yet?"
"Going back to Madam, we still need to enter the lake. This requires me and my wife to go together and plead for the boat to come out."
"Sir Yu, your grandma is pregnant. She's not even three months old yet. I'm afraid the pregnancy won't be stable. Can you stop laboring her?"
"Madam, this is how you can impress a cold-hearted person."
When Mrs. Pingjiang Hou saw this, she ordered: "Second Mistress Yu, don't move. I'll get out of the car and Master Yu will drive over."
"Thank you ma'am."
Yu Xinzhong drove the carriage to the foggy lakeside. He knelt down and bowed down, shouting: "Senior, I am Yu Xinzhong. My wife is pregnant and cannot travel in these troubled times. Please take her in for a few days. I will also
I have to continue working and I can’t take care of her.”
He shouted one after another.
The words quickly reached Lei Wuchen's ears.
Although it was fast, I was familiar with the lake mist, and an hour passed.
Yin Feng widened his eyes: "Sir, do you want to send a big ship? Master Yu will also bring tens of thousands of people."
Lei Wuchen frowned.
