In the afternoon of the next day, the official documents from Prince Shunxing and Prince Qingchang that they agreed to set up a stage to meet outside the city were sent. Marquis Ningjiang asked them to wrap up their underwear and give them to the visitor to take back: "This is this.
Please give me the gift and let the prince watch it alone."
Marquis Ningjiang, who had lost his official seal and command arrows to Jiang Hu Ke, regained his glory and turned over the disgraceful page.
...
Sipinghou led a team of ten thousand people to escort himself and Yu Cun to Guangyang City. Looking at the soldiers and horses of the two princes giving way on both sides, they were as solemn as water, but Sipinghou nodded with interest: "Not bad, you see.
He is a good soldier."
Yu Cun was also smiling and waving to the left and right.
It still looks like peaceful times.
In fact, if Prince Shunxing and Prince Qingchang did not send troops without authorization, it would indeed be a peaceful time.
There is no chaos in the border town and it can block foreign enemies. Any fighting in the interior will be fought by oneself.
When the soldiers of the two princes saw this scene, they got up and whispered behind their backs.
The main purpose of being a soldier is to obey, but why fight? To this day, it is inexplicable.
One day passed, because they needed to show a good attitude and be seen by the places passing by, they walked slowly and had to rush at night. Siping Hou showed his usual level of exercise and slept on the horse. This time Yu Cun brought
Three carriages later, he returned to the carriage to sleep.
A lieutenant approached Siping Hou and spoke to him softly: "Shall we go have a drink with the Second Commandery Prince?"
"Where are you thinking? Drinking with them is worse than drinking with dogs." Sipinghou was instantly unhappy and opened his eyes angrily. He was half sleepy, so he became even more angry.
The deputy general straightened his body: "Yes!"
Shrinking again, he continued in a low voice: "But Mr. Yu is not usually a person who wants to enjoy himself. After living with us for a few months, he is willing to eat from a big pot. This time, there are fresh ingredients in the carriage, and there are two cooks.
.”
Marquis Siping rolled his eyes at him: "How do you know it's fresh ingredients and a cook?"
"I can smell it. I will have a dog's nose at the end. When I was a child, my family was poor, so I went to the wild fields to find food. I could smell wild vegetables and fruits. Sometimes I could smell the nests of hares and pheasants, and I could smell them if the wind direction was correct. The cooks were all white.
Fatty, I saw the people in the carriage."
Marquis Siping thought, "You can see it, can I still not see it?"
Sometimes you have to keep your words in your stomach and don't say them all out loud.
Yu Cun stayed with them to defend the city. He really didn't want to enjoy himself. He ate whatever he had and was never picky. He loved to drink good tea. He brought some with him. Marquis Siping gave him some. He invited Marquis Siping to have tea and drank it himself.
He is not picky when it comes to tea.
He also said that the diet of an official is very particular, and that when he goes home to teach, he is also very particular about his diet. If he has the opportunity to eat a few mouthfuls of grains, he feels that it is to his liking.
Marquis Siping knew that he was only joking, but he just meant that he didn't have to cook for him alone.
When Yu Cun received the letter from Taiping, he had someone drive a carriage from Yucheng's house and bring a cook along with him. Marquis Siping was thinking very fast these days. In this rapid rotation, he guessed in a flash that he didn't need it.
ask.
There should be a beautiful girl under Guangyang City, and after the ancestors and grandsons meet, Yu Wu's identity will be revealed.
What Sipinghou couldn't wait to see was whether Yu Wulei Qi looked at each other twice, or whether they had developed feelings for each other after getting along for a long time. It was okay to develop appreciation without feelings, but it couldn't be nothing.
Next, solemnly send Lei Qi to Master Yu to make him feel good about him. When the time is right, tell him that this is the new emperor Lei Fengqi who almost ascended the throne in rumors.
That scene must be very beautiful, and it must scare the master... Sipinghou thought about it, and he could laugh out loud.
He didn't care what Yu Cun brought, even if he brought a few carriages of rouge and gouache, that would be fine.
He turned to Lieutenant Dog Nose with a stern expression: "No matter how much food I bring, it won't be yours. Also, I will definitely not sit down and drink with two dog thieves. Master Yu has different identities, different considerations, and different methods. What will he do? I
I can’t control it.”
"yes."
The deputy general straightened up on his horse again, but he still hadn't finished speaking. The following sentences were what he really meant.
"If the king doesn't forgive them, the general will be relieved."
The Marquis of Siping heard that something was wrong with his tone of voice: "Do you have any grudge against them?"
The lieutenant-general himself had just said that he was from a poor background, and it was not because the Marquis of Siping looked down upon him. He could not have had too much enmity with the Second Commandery Prince. In the previous peaceful years, the Second Commandery Prince had a reputation for being a self-respecting soldier.
Then there is the matter of secretly hoarding food and fodder and harming the people. After all, the people are the source of troops.
The siege of Guangyang City this time was a desperate attempt by the two families. They forced the people, destroyed their houses, and forced them to serve as soldiers. This was their determination to become emperor.
Sipinghou was surprised: "You have been a soldier here for more than ten years, and I have never heard you say anyone you have a grudge against?"
The dog's nose will be removed and trained to recognize and eat it.
Lieutenant General Ku Daqiu Shen replied: "I didn't have any hatred at first, but now I do. My aunt married near Guangyang City, and she loved me very much when I was a child. The last time the king of the county attacked at night, I didn't follow you, so I begged to fight with you.
If you go to Erdaoquan, please help me see if my aunt's family has been robbed. If not, her family escaped on their own and was robbed. My cousin must be working as a pawn in the Second Commandery King's military camp now.
Bing, I can’t say my cousin and I are going to have a sword-on-gun-on-gun encounter.”
He sniffed and his eyes were red: "Prince, what do you think this is if it's not hatred?"
Sipinghou became hoarse.
Later that night, he had more soldiers and horses, and he looked at all the villages he passed. He wanted to find a few hiding people and take them away. He also wanted to ask for the detailed terrain under Guangyang City, so that he could use it when the fight started.
The dry gullies behind the village and the mud pits blocked by fallen leaves can all be used for ambushes.
Although I don't remember whether Erdaoquan Village asked, but according to what the deputy general said, his aunt's house was close to Guangyang City, so there was a high probability that it would be robbed.
The two princes sent troops from their own borders and expanded the encirclement to Guangyang. The closer they were to Guangyang City, the harder it was to escape.
Marquis Siping's voice slowed down: "You have no future, and you are not allowed to cry when you are a soldier. Besides, Master Yu is not going to go and negotiate with the two thieves in person. Master Yu told me that it is best not to fight. The only ones who get hurt in the fight are myself."
people."
"That's it." The deputy general said anxiously: "If I hadn't known that you wouldn't agree, I would have wanted to get off my horse and talk to the brothers around here. I heard a few people talking were fellow villagers. They must have come from the same place. Who are we fighting for?
, it’s not like attacking the enemy. How could we be enemies?”
Seeing his excitement, Marquis Siping took a more conciliatory tone: "I know, I know, please keep your voice down, what are the specifics, and act according to my military orders. If you really need to fight,"
"I listen to the Marquis," the deputy general said immediately, but his voice was trembling.
Marquis Siping couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He had nothing to say and waved his hand to let the dog's nose retreat and leave him alone.
The moonlight was quiet, and after having such a conversation, Siping Hou felt sleepy.
The idea of discussing came from Yu Wu, and this was confirmed by Master Yu.
