When the army returned to Yunzhou County, they were naturally welcomed by everyone!
A grand celebration banquet started. This time the Tatars brought a lot of cattle and sheep as food supplies.
Although they were allowed to go back now, except for leaving enough for them to go back to, most of the rest were brought back as spoils of war for the Yunzhou Army.
At this grand celebration banquet, these cattle and sheep gave the people of Yunzhou County, who were already short of meat, a good meal!
Everyone was hooked!
After preparing for this battle for so long, the result was an easy victory, which no one expected.
But it feels natural.
With the current strength of Yunzhou County, it would be strange if it could not achieve such a result. Everyone is very satisfied with such a result.
After all, no one is stupid. If you can fight an easy battle, who wants to fight a hard battle?
Isn't there something wrong with my head?
My Yunzhou County has more soldiers, more iron, and more food!
That battle was directly covered by arrows! Covered in iron armor.
All attack and defense points are full!
Why! Just four words!
rich! capricious!
Just four words!
There is iron! capricious!
Not convinced? If you don't accept it, bite me!
If you have the ability, you can get so much iron, and you can also make so many crossbows to shoot me?
If you don't have this ability, you will be covered by our arrows!
Why!
Just highlight a tyrant!
Here, everyone in Yunzhou County is singing and dancing.
But over there, Li Wei and others at Liaoyun Pass were extremely nervous!
They had heard before that the Tatars had already set off and would arrive in Yunzhou County soon, and King Yun had already led his troops to go out to fight.
Li Wei couldn't understand this.
In his opinion, even if King Yun hid some of his troops without telling the court, he would not be able to raise many troops due to the poverty of Yunzhou County.
According to intelligence from the Tatar side, it is at least 300,000.
Under such a huge disparity in strength, King Yun not only refused to defend the city, but also took the initiative to attack!
Isn't this stupid?
He doesn't understand!
The Holy Father ordered him to protect Prince Yun when Prince Yun escaped and let Prince Yun enter the border. But looking at the current situation, Prince Yun just went out and sent him away. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't keep him!
A few eunuchs were opened in the capital a few days ago. He originally thought that they were sent by His Majesty to supervise the army to understand the situation on the front line. Unexpectedly, as soon as they heard that King Yun took the initiative to attack, they rushed out of the pass and have not sent back any news. , I don’t know what it is for.
Thinking about these things, Li Wei frowned unconsciously. He looked at the less than 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command and the large Liaoyun Pass, and sighed heavily.
It was really unlucky. There had not been a war in Liaoyun Pass for many years. He originally thought that he was just here to occupy a position for His Majesty, but he did not expect that he would actually fight against the Tatars now.
That's all. He used to fight with the Huns in the northwest, so he's not afraid, but you have to give me enough soldiers and horses!
With just two or three big cats and kittens, you ask me to block an army of more than 300,000 people!
Some time ago, there was actually a traitor in the city. Fortunately, it was discovered early. The few scum left by the Ding family were raped and killed as soon as they were discovered. Their heads are now hung on the highest flagpole in the city market. superior.
Otherwise, if we wait for the war to begin and let these idiots cooperate inside and outside to open the city, then there will really be no chance at all.
Just when Li Wei was thinking about all this with a sad face, he suddenly saw a few riders slowly approaching the wall from a distance below the city.
Li Wei, who had rarely closed the wall for inspection last time, saw it immediately and signaled to the men next to him.
The city defender immediately asked loudly below: "Who is coming down from the city! I wonder if Liaoyun Pass has been closed! Leave quickly!"
Unexpectedly, after listening to the words of the city defender, the few people approaching under the city not only did not stop moving, but also continued to move forward.
Li Wei's face darkened, and he raised his hand to order his men to fire arrows!
Now is an extraordinary moment, and he doesn't dare to let down his guard at all. Since he has been warned and continues to move forward, don't blame him for being ruthless!
However, at this moment, someone among the people below finally spoke: "It's General Li who's in the city! I and others are from the palace who left a few days ago. Please ask the general to let us enter. ! I need to return to Beijing immediately if there is something urgent!"
When Li Wei heard this, he was about to refuse. Can you just open this gate that has been sealed by the Holy Spirit?
But then he immediately remembered those old eunuchs from the past few days. Could it be them?
Li Wei looked down carefully again!
Aren't they the ones?
Why did these old eunuchs who left in a hurry a few days suddenly come back?
Could it be that something happened to Yunzhou County?
Thinking of this, Li Wei felt a chill in his heart, and immediately shouted down: "Sir, sir! Your Majesty's decree sealed the pass without His Majesty's decree. Please forgive me for not being able to resist the decree and release it, but I can let a few pass. The bamboo basket goes down, and the father-in-laws can come up along the bamboo basket!"
A response came immediately from the city: "This will bring you General Li!"
…
After a lot of trouble, several old eunuchs finally went to the city.
But compared with when they left before, they are in a very embarrassed state now.
The originally gorgeous robes were now stained and torn everywhere, and some even had several holes punched through them. They looked like beggars' attire.
Seeing them like this, Li Wei said in surprise: "Fathers, you have only been out for three or two days, how did you end up like this?"
As soon as he said these words, it was like opening a sluice to block the flood, causing complaints from all the eunuchs.
"Hey! Don't mention it! It's been a bad year and I met a bunch of gangsters! I'm really mad at our family and won't listen no matter what I say!
It's like a dog-skin plaster that sticks to our family. I don't know what kind of weapon it is in its hand, but it is so powerful. Even if we are not careful, we will suffer a loss.
If we hadn't known that they were all under Lord Yun and couldn't kill them, our family would have designated them to teach them a lesson! "
"That's right! Those bastards are so insidious. They even attacked our family while we were sleeping. If we hadn't been careful, they would have succeeded!"
"Hmph! What do you mean? I was shot at by more than a dozen people with strange weapons. They chased me for two days! They couldn't get rid of me, and they kept attacking me. Home, look at it! Look at it!
Our clothes are all filled with holes that they shot through! Even the beggars on the streets of Bianjing are probably better dressed than ours! "
The whole scene seemed to have become a complaint meeting, with all the eunuchs complaining about their experiences in the past few days.
Li Wei listened on the sidelines and gradually understood what happened.
It turns out that these eunuchs were sent by His Majesty to protect King Yun, so when you first came here you were so anxious when you heard that the prince was leading troops on an expedition. This was because you were afraid that it would be too late to save King Yun.
But what they didn't expect was that they were entangled as soon as they entered the ground of Yunzhou County.
Groups of men in black with golden auspicious cloud patterns embroidered on their chests discovered them on the third day they entered the boundary of Yunzhou County.
They are all worshipers in the palace!
All masters with decades of profound inner energy cultivation were actually surrounded by others!
At first, hundreds of men in black gathered around me at night, but they didn't care at first.
As a result, the strange weapons in their hands were covered with a continuous rain of arrows!
They had experienced this, and after escaping in embarrassment, they were chased by a group of men in black. During this period, they also discovered that these men in black should be under the command of King Yun. As soon as they approached the direction of Yunzhou County, they would They were in hot pursuit, but once they went in the opposite direction, they didn't chase so closely.
This probably means he doesn't want them to get close to Yunzhou County.
During this period, someone once revealed their identity to these men in black. They were sent by the Holy Spirit to protect King Yun. Who knew that the men in black ignored them and kept chasing them.
Although they were angry at each other, after all, the other party was a member of King Yun's subordinates, and it would be difficult to explain to them if they were killed.
Secondly, I don’t know if these men in black know how powerful these martial arts masters are. They will never chase them alone. At least there will be dozens of them chasing one person. Dozens of weapons in their hands attack together, and the arrows they shoot out The rain was enough to stop him, so he could only keep avoiding it.
As time went on, the inner energy was almost exhausted, and he could only keep running for his life, but those men in black actually had replacements!
He kept chasing them, trying not to let them get close to Yunzhou County. He chased them for three whole days!
"So, father-in-law, what are you doing now?"
After hearing this, Li Wei thought that their mission had failed and they had not entered Yunzhou County at all.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a eunuch who looked the most miserable suddenly laughed and said: "Kung fu pays off. Although they chased closely, they couldn't bear it. What we practice is the leg and body skills of these feet. Let us rush in!"
"What about Yunzhou County now!?"
When he heard that someone actually rushed in, Li Weidang showed joy and asked quickly.
If he could know the current situation in Yunzhou County, he could make arrangements as early as possible to avoid being caught off guard.
The eunuch spread his hands: "It's okay!"
Li Wei was stunned immediately.
fine?
What does it mean?
Seeing that he was still puzzled, the eunuch continued: "It means nothing happened. After we rushed through the defense line and arrived at Yunzhou City, we saw that the whole city was celebrating. It seemed that Prince Yun had returned, and the Tatars were also After retreating, the entire Yunzhou City was celebrating.
Originally, our family wanted to go find the prince, but the group of bastards pressed too hard. In addition, Yunzhou City was the opponent's base camp. Not long after I entered, hundreds of people began to surround me, and more and more people gathered behind me. I could only escape all the way back.
Fortunately, the current situation means that the prince is fine, so there is no need for us to stay here.
I just wanted to go back to Beijing and report the situation to His Majesty first.
Then he hurriedly summoned some brothers and came back. "
"What?! Just come back like this! What happened in Yunzhou County? Why were the Tatars repelled? How did they win, to what extent they won, and how many people they lost? Don't you know?" Li Wei Reluctantly, he continued to ask.
Unexpectedly, several eunuchs immediately rolled their eyes, and the one who discovered the situation even spread his hands and said: "Where do you have time to investigate?
Our family came here just to protect the prince's safety. Now that the prince is safe and sound, we have completed our mission. As for the rest, it is not our responsibility. "
Li Wei paused for a moment.
I don’t know how to continue asking.
Soon the eunuchs made some simple repairs at Liaoyun Pass and left for Bianjing.
Li Wei was left alone at Liaoyun Pass and could not figure out how Yunzhou County repelled the Tatars.
But no matter what, the Tatars retreated, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
On the Yunzhou County side, Zhao Jun, who had just finished working on the rewards and pensions for the soldiers after the war, received the news from the secret guards.
In the study room.
A young man wearing black clothes with a golden auspicious cloud pattern embroidered on his chest, but unlike other secret guards, had a pair of golden lightning patterns embroidered on the cuffs of his arms, kneeling in front of Zhao Jun with a face full of shame.
"Your Majesty! My subordinates are incompetent! Not long after you set off for the expedition, several eunuchs came from the direction of Liaoyun Pass and wanted to enter our Yunzhou County. My subordinates sent people to stop them. I originally thought they could block them, but I was not careful. One of them actually came to Yunzhou City the day before yesterday.
I am afraid that the situation in my Yunzhou County has been seen by him!
Although his subordinates sent thousands of people to surround and suppress him, the guy's legs and feet were so fast that his subordinates were unable to catch up even after breaking off their horses. He must have entered the barrier at this moment.
The prince has been hiding it for so many years, and now all the previous efforts have been wasted. It is all the fault of his subordinates. Please give me death! "
Zhao Jun looked at the young man's ashamed look but showed a smile, reached out and patted his shoulder and said with a smile:
"Okay, isn't it because the situation in Yunzhou County has been discovered? I have been prepared for it for a long time. After this battle, regardless of whether they know the specific situation or not, if they can defeat the Tatar army, our Yunzhou has been doomed. The county could no longer hide.
So if you are discovered, you will be discovered, no big deal! "
"But……"
Before the young man could say anything, Zhao Jun put his hand on the top of his head, rubbed it and said with a smile: "Okay Yunyi!
I said it's okay, why are you so confused?
Besides, you have been with me for almost ten years, right?
Just because of this matter, it doesn't matter.
Those old eunuchs were probably sent by the king's cheap father. Just let them know and they would know. They probably wouldn't spread the news randomly. It's not a big deal.
It's just a matter of time. "
"Can!"
Before Yun Yi could say anything, Zhao Jun shook his head.
Yun Yi was silent for a moment, then suddenly pulled out the short knife from his waist and stabbed his ribs on the left side hard, then pulled it out.
Although the blood flowed out from his ribs, he remained unmoved. He kowtowed to Zhao Jun respectfully and said:
"Your Majesty! You are considerate of your subordinates and don't want to be held accountable. This is your grace, but it is your duty to block anyone who wants to pry into Yunzhou County for the prince!
Nowadays, my subordinates have neglected their duties. Although Your Majesty, you do not blame your subordinates, but neglect of duty is dereliction of duty, and the punishment should not be less!
If you don’t punish, your subordinates will punish themselves!
This knife is a warning to my subordinates!
next time! No! My subordinates will never let this happen again!
If it happens again, I will punish you with my life! "
After saying that, Yun Yi kowtowed respectfully once again, then stood up and silently exited the room.
The room became quiet again. Looking at the blood on the ground and the figure disappearing at the door, Zhao Jun rubbed his brows with a headache.
"Hey! How come this guy is still the same as before! He's so stubborn!"
Zhao Jun's thoughts couldn't help but go back to ten years ago. When the stubborn-looking man in front of him was brought to see him, the first words the young man said were:
"You gave me a chance to live, and from now on I will only live for you!
Even if you ask me to die, I will have no complaints! "
After saying that, he immediately picked up the knife that Zhao Jun used to peel fruit and gave his left rib a hard blow!
In an instant, blood surged!
The young man gritted his teeth and endured the pain. He showed a stubborn smile to Zhao Jun and said, "Just like this!"
God knows how shocked Zhao Jun was when he saw this scene!
This child is only two years younger than me!
And his left rib, Zhao Jun, had been stabbed countless times by this tough guy over the years.
He stabbed himself whenever he did something wrong, so that Zhao Jun no longer dared to say harsh words to him, and even deliberately avoided seeing him.
If he hadn't taken the initiative to ask for a meeting this time, Zhao Jun would not have taken the initiative to see him, the leader of the secret guards, once a year. He almost always contacted him through Wang Huaien.
Zhao Jun had no doubt about his loyalty, but as for his brain, Zhao Jun always believed that he was definitely mentally ill!
Any normal person would poke himself in the ribs at every turn!
Every time it’s the left rib!
