Thousands of peaks lie covered with white snow, and thousands of mountains are often cuiwei.
The scenery of Huangtu Ridge has hardly changed since the last battle of Xingluocang until today, like a frozen picture.
The only thing that changed was the eyes looking at the painting.
Yu Wenye stood by the Luokou River with his hands behind his back. His cold and deep eyes took in everything in front of him. In fact, he looked like the person in this painting. He had won a great victory since the last time. Returning to court and leading the army on an expedition this time, his face was still cold and his figure was still upright.
Even the uneasy mood in the army seemed to be the same as last time.
Only this time, the source of uneasiness was no longer the supervisor.
Probably because the last time the military supervisor Kou Yunliang was not only killed by him in the army, but also died in a miserable manner. This time when the troops were sent out, the powerful eunuchs were unwilling to follow him. The imperial court could only send a young eunuch named Wang Gong. Supervise the army. This man was not in a high position, had a cowardly temperament, and had no independent opinions. Therefore, even though he had only traveled two days after marching for five or six days, Wang Gong did not rush him.
On the contrary, some of the generals in the army could not sit still.
Because this time the troops were dispatched, the Ministry of Revenue did not allocate food directly. Instead, they sent documents to Xingluocang, asking them to prepare food and fodder for 20,000 horses, and wait for Yu Wenye to take away the food directly before continuing to Wanggang. The village is on its way.
However, when Yu Wenye arrived at Luokou Ferry, he did not continue on his way, but stopped to rest, which made everyone a little confused. In addition, he had delayed the process for several days, and several generals could no longer sit still. They simply went to Wang Gong and said at once: "Master Supervisor, I'm afraid you have to take care of this matter."
wait? What is he waiting for?
At this moment, a burst of rapid and messy horse hoofbeats suddenly came from behind them. Everyone turned around and saw a group of people galloping up from behind. The leader was none other than Yu Wenye's own bodyguard. Follow Mu Xian.
Yu Wenye smiled lightly and said: "Master Wang is laughing at you. The people guarding Xingluo Cang are the same men who followed my general to attack Xingluo Cang last time. They fought bloody and suffered a lot. Moreover, after the granary was captured, , they have been stationed here to get rewards, so this time when they came here, I decided to reward them privately. Of course, these things are all paid for by the general myself and have nothing to do with the court. "
"……oh."
Yu Wenye's eyes flashed coldly.
Tusheer said: "That's true."
Yu Wenye raised his eyebrows slightly: "How do you know?"
Mu Xian followed him and said softly: "His Majesty the Emperor has given an order to go south to tour Jiangdu in seven days."
And those eyes, set off by the cold water drops, looked even colder and deeper.
Yan Bubad said: "But we heard - General, this battle was in vain."
"I've always been dissatisfied with the general!"
But amidst such boiling emotions, Yu Wenye remained calm. As he walked inside, he asked in a deep voice: "How is the situation in Dongdu City?"
He thought for a while and asked, "Is there any other news?"
Speaking of that bloody scene, Yu Wenye didn't show any emotion at all. He just sighed again and said, "Thinking about it afterwards, I still regret it a little."
….
Wuxue responded softly and lowered his head.
Mu Xian stretched out his hand and pointed behind him: "Wine, meat, and winter clothes are all ready."
"Yes, the imperial court asked us to go to clear Wanggang Village, not just to enjoy the mountains and rivers."
"..."
Wang Gong was urged by them and couldn't avoid it, so he could only walk a few steps forward nervously, when he saw Yu Wenye squatting down and pouring a handful of cold water from the river on his face.
"Don't dare."
After hearing this, Yu Wenye's face still showed no trace of joy or anger, even ups and downs. He was silent for a while, and then said calmly: "Let's not talk about this. Let's go in and divide the things first. I came in a hurry this time, and I didn't prepare all the things." .You pick and assign important people, and you must not delegate them to others.
Surrender to those who do things. "
"...!"
Everyone looked at him, stopped talking, and just retreated silently.
Wang Gong looked back and realized that there were several carriages behind them, which were piled with wine, meat and winter clothes. Even the backs of their horses were loaded with a lot of such goods. He couldn't help but said in surprise: "General, this is -"
Yu Wenye said, "Have you got everything?"
Yu Wenye slowly turned to him and said, "Master Supervisor, what's important?"
Wang Gong's face was pale and his legs were shaking a little. Just when he didn't know how to answer these words, Yu Wenye turned back to look at him and said, "Do you mean to urge me to enter the city quickly?"
"..."
And Wang Gong was also stunned——
"General, why don't you go directly to the city instead of staying here? You know, we have been delayed for several days before."
Wuxue asked: "Young madam, what is the other thing that worries you?"
Yu Wenye nodded: "Very good."
Wuxue immediately said: "Young madam, what two things are they?"
However, there seemed to be some faint emotions boiling throughout Cangcheng.
"Ah, this-"
Among them, the garrison general Yan Buhuai saw Yu Wenye, his eyes turned slightly red, and he said softly: "I didn't expect that the general would still remember us."
Before he finished speaking, he paused.
Mu Xian hesitated for a moment and said softly: "The other thing is——"
So, he immediately ordered all the troops to set off for Xingluocang City. The soldiers in Cangcheng had also received the news. The general of the auxiliary country came and immediately sent people to greet them. When they saw that he had even brought these people a reward of wine, meat and winter cotton clothes, they were immediately grateful. In addition to guarding various checkpoints, Almost all the other soldiers came out to greet them.
But he still had no choice but to step forward, raised his hands to Yu Wenye and said with a smile, "General."
"After all, his sins should not be cut off and passed away. He should be brought back to the court and punished, so that other people in the army know what will happen if they harbor disloyal intentions and go against this general. "
"Miss you?"
His words, although light, were heavy.
"Please forgive me, Lord Wang. I am just staying here to miss you."
Tusheer said: "Miss, we are leaving in a few days. Should we make preparations?"
….
Wang Gong hurriedly waved his hands and said with a smile: "No, no, how dare I urge the general?"
The group of troops he brought were Yu Wenye's own soldiers. He followed them out of the city from the beginning and merged with the imperial troops to march together. However, everyone discovered that they had disappeared just a few days ago.
The lieutenants and generals in the army all made way for them. Mu Xian and his men quickly arrived at Yu Wenye's side. As soon as he got off his horse, he immediately said to Yu Wenye, "General."
Wang Gong forced a smile, but when he spoke, his voice was trembling: "Later, what do you regret?"
"Exactly."
But they did not belong to the imperial establishment, so the supervisors and generals did not dare to ask more questions, but they did not expect that at this moment, they would appear again.
Wang Gong smiled and said: "I see, the general is really considerate of others. He is truly a loyal minister of the imperial court."
"..."
Shang Ruyi said: "One is Zhuangzi in the north of the city. My father gave it to me before he left for Taiyuan. I haven't taken a look at it for so long. If Liang Shide really wants to send troops to fight here this time, I'm afraid he will pass by there. , I thought, find a time to go over and explain."
Seven days later…
Yu Wenye smiled and said: "You fought for this Cangcheng with your lives. I, the general, have received the credit and cannot help but remember you."
Yan Bubad said: "The general said that we fought for this Cangcheng with our lives, and we naturally want the outcome of this war. But no matter what, we can't imagine that just because we killed a general who didn't know how to do it, sworn brothers
The eunuch they pushed to die, the general's hard work in this battle was in vain! "
Wang Gong's expression suddenly changed.
Yu Wenye nodded humbly, and then said, "Now, we can enter the city."
"It's just that I was so excited to kill that I forgot..."
For some reason, Wang Gong shuddered in his heart.
Wang Gong was stunned for a moment, wondering what he was missing, but Yu Wenye had already raised his hand and pointed to a wide beach on the other side of the river in front of him, saying: "I'm afraid the supervisors don't know yet, but it was there that this general cut Kou Yunliang in half with a single blow. of."
The person standing in front of him at this moment seemed to be no longer a person, nor a general of the imperial court, but an evil god with bloody hands, who might even rise up to kill at any time. Wang Gong was covered in cold sweat and was about to walk back tremblingly. But Yu Wenye said very gently: "Actually, Mr. Wang does not need to rush, as long as he waits -"
"No matter how great a general he is, Yu Wenye cannot ignore the laws of the imperial court."
Shang Ruyi's expression became darker than before. After being silent for a long time, he sighed softly and said, "They are my uncle and aunt..."
Yu Wenye said: "Actually, I don't have to kill him."
Shang Ruyi sighed and said, "But there are two things in my heart that I am worried about."
This last sentence was more like a huge stone that fell heavily on the hearts of Yan Buhuai and some soldiers around him.
At the same time, facing Wuxue's big twinkling eyes, Shang Ruyi was silent for a long time, and finally said slowly: "I also want to stay in Dongdu and wait for him to come back, but His Majesty may not give me such an opportunity."
Wang Gong smiled and said: "This - it seems that Xingluocang is ahead."
When he mentioned this, even Tu Sheer's expression became heavy.
Although Shang Ruyi had previously received the amnesty promised by the emperor and allowed Shen Shiyan and his wife to return to the Eastern Capital, they had no idea where the person who had sent the order was now and what was going on there.
If they follow the emperor to Jiangdu this time, the news between them will be interrupted again, and it will be even more difficult for them to meet again in the future.
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside. When he looked up, he saw Chang Wan walking in with a letter. She smiled and said to Shang Ruyi: "Young Madam, I just received a letter, it seems to be from Mr. Shen."
Mr. Shen?
When Shang Ruyi heard these three words, his eyes immediately lit up - it was Shen Wuzheng!
