If there was a carriage just for Yu Wuluo to rest, Miao Bao didn't have to come home. He could just buy one on the road and find a craftsman to reinforce the carriage so it could withstand the bumps.
Miao Bao went home without fear of life or death. First, he wanted to report that he was safe so that Yu Cun could be reassured. Second, he wanted to calm down and tell Yu Cun what was going on outside, such as that Duke Wu Guo had rebelled. Third, he wanted to pick up someone from home to wait on the girl.
Can't you buy an honest girl on the road?
Miao Bao is a person who lives in the Shenzhai compound. He knows the uncertainty of temporary buying, especially if the girl has important secrets. If the girl he buys is greedy for money and unjust, it will cause unexpected big trouble.
If someone buys it from outside, she will cook it and make tea. I'm afraid the girl won't be able to eat it.
He told the team leader categorically: "Only one carriage can pass, and I will only protect the one I drove to send the girl away."
The team leader agreed and then ordered to set off on the road. Miao Bao asked him to stop again and walked over to let two strong women put the important things in the car where Hongxia was sitting.
When the sound of killing in the distance became noisy again, the group quietly set off on the road.
...
As dawn dawned, Sipinghou, a thousand-man team, withdrew from the fight and started cooking on the spot.
After a while, another team of a thousand people came to join them. The leader was a general named Wang Sheng, a highly respected general of the Marquis of Siping.
Seeing him dismounting while cursing, Marquis Siping asked with concern: "How many casualties are there?"
"More than a dozen have been injured, and they are all here. Mr. Marquis, according to the method of attack you mentioned, it is just a harassment, not an actual attack on the city. If people are killed, do I still have the face to see you?" Wang Sheng still looked unhappy.
Happy.
Sipinghou couldn't help but laugh: "I didn't kill anyone, but I injured a dozen. What, then you are still unhappy?"
"This is a small fight, not satisfying. I ran away after they chased me out, but they were also cautious and retreated to the city. I thought this was not good. I didn't take a few heads. I was sorry for fighting this battle, so I
I ran slower, but they fired arrows and I injured a dozen of them, but they still didn't chase me."
Wang Sheng's face elongated: "I won't gain any merit if I go out with you. If I go back, I will be laughed at by those who defend the city."
Sipinghou smiled: "It is not good to be greedy for merit. We only have a few men and horses. If we don't have enough people, how can we fight against others? It's better to come out and go back well."
"Don't we really fight in Guangyang City?" Wang Sheng became more and more unhappy: "Then what are we going to do in Guangyang City? Look at other people's camps, give a thumbs up and say it's good, and then turn the horse back. Isn't that right?"
He was extremely upset: "If I had known it was going to be a battle like this, I wouldn't have rushed here. I just went shopping in vain."
"You, please keep me safe. Judging from this trend, we will have to use real swords and guns sooner or later."
The Marquis of Siping looked at the aroma of dried meat roasting on the bonfire, stretched out his hand to take two pieces, and gave one to Wang Sheng: "Eat, after you are full, you have to go to other places."
Wang Sheng won the respect of the Siping Marquis, but he seemed to be unruly, but in fact he was as careful as his hair. He thought about rushing here, but did not attack the city seriously, and then went to other places. If he continued to pretend to attack without actually attacking, then there is only one answer.
People who appear carefree are easier to ask questions. Wang Sheng smiled and said: "Master Marquis, who are you sending away? Or who are you picking up?"
Sipinghou immediately glared at him, but did not refute, but said: "Talk too much."
Wang Sheng showed an expression of regret for his blunder, and when a few soldiers who were cooking went to the other side of the campfire to stir up the barbecue, he whispered again: "Well, everyone is curious, can I ask?"
"Whose master is this?" Marquis Siping had actually heard of it and asked knowingly.
"It's just Lao Liu, Lao Zhang and the others. Well, no one dared to ask, so they just bullied me." Wang Sheng laughed.
Sipinghou looked at him sideways: "You are the one who is easy to bully, Daqing."
"Isn't this what I'm wondering about? Lord Marquis, we only have 30,000 people. If the newly recruited soldiers are really encountered by the siege, as long as they don't turn around and run away, they are all good. Besides, can you blame everyone for wondering? Shunxing
Be it Qingchang or Lei Fengqi, who is not known to be missing or fake, any one of them can be the emperor. If they want to fight, it will be between them. Why should we get involved? Let me tell you, you shouldn't ask
Shunxing needs some food and grass, and asks Qingchang to pay some military expenses. After receiving the items, I wish them an early accession to the throne and the unity of the world. Isn't this good? Why should we save Guangyang City? It's a thankless task."
As Wang Sheng spoke, he kept his eyes open to see Sipinghou's reaction.
The Marquis of Siping gave him an expressionless expression: "Would you like to surrender to Shunxing or Qingchang? It's too late now."
"What the Marquis said is so boring. These two families are so happy now that they are just waiting to fight all the way to the Golden Palace. Even if I go, he won't be wrong, right? The one who threw me in halfway is not sincere. It's better that I have followed you all these years.
, you know what kind of person I am." Wang Sheng chuckled.
Sipinghou pretended to be angry: "Then is it necessary for you to think wildly?"
"It's just a wild guess, haha," Wang Sheng said with a smile: "Everyone is just guessing. The Marquis has someone in mind. Who do we support as the throne? When will we find out?"
Sipinghou said deliberately: "I don't have a candidate in mind. You all guessed wrong."
Wang Sheng lowered his head to gnaw on the dried meat, and could hear his vague words: "Okay, okay, just pretend I didn't ask, just remember to say it when the time comes."
"Can't I serve the people?" Marquis Siping asked, "Can't I join the war for the people?"
"For the sake of the people, why are you clearing out five hundred miles and pretending to fight a big war?" Wang Sheng was a little serious at this time: "The Marquis can be a peacemaker and tell anyone who wants to come to Beijing to come. Let's
Let's go all the way, no matter who takes the throne in the future, he must be popular first."
When he said this, several fast horses arrived, and Sipinghou and Wang Sheng jumped up together. These people were the group that Sipinghou sent from Wang Sheng's military camp to contact Pingjianghou Mansion on the day Miao Bao came back.
If the troops from Pingjianghou Mansion were added, Sipinghou would have a better chance of winning. Deep concern and anxiety emerged on his face at this moment.
Wang Sheng saw it in his eyes. As early as when the Marquis of Siping purged the five hundred miles of cities and towns, Wang Sheng knew that a battle of 30,000 people against hundreds of thousands of people must be fought. But the question is, what gave the Marquis the confidence?
Master Yu?
Wang Sheng was a general with both civil and military skills. He could read and knew that in the past years, no matter how famous a person was, he could not stop the replacement of the throne.
There must be something that gives the master the backbone of his own family, making him determined to prevent the two ambitious princes from entering the capital.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this behavior is overestimating one's own abilities.
The two princes Shunxing and Qingchang represent the future imperial power. Who can guarantee that one of them will not ascend the throne?
Sipinghou's behavior was obviously out of his mind.
The person you claim to be fighting to protect the people, one day he ascends the throne and becomes the person worshiped by the people. The Siping Hou Mansion must have fought in vain.
Wang Sheng was loyal to Sipinghou, so since the situation changed, he always made plans for Sipinghou Mansion. Naturally, if Sipinghou Mansion was good, he would follow suit.
