Yu Wenye said: "Where did the people who left Wanggang Village go?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
After a long time, Yan Buhua whispered: "Yes, Wanggang Village has such a large-scale dispatch, where have these people gone? What are they going to do?"
The generals looked at each other in confusion. After a while, Pang Tianbao sneered and said, "Others have to worry about this kind of thing. Our mission this time is to capture Wanggang Village. We don't need to worry too much about the rest."
"That's not what they said,"
Yu Wenye said lightly: "Xiao Yuansui is very ambitious. Last time, he dared to send troops to capture Xingluocang City with less than half of the troops in Wanggang Village. But this time, they and Liang Shide formed an alliance. In one move, Liang Shide commanded more than 100,000 troops, and their target must be bigger than Xingluocang City."
As he spoke, he slowly turned around and looked at those people coldly: "Let me ask you, where is the bigger city than Xingluocang City nearby?"
At this moment, the entire Xingluocang City fell silent.
A place immediately popped up in everyone's mind, but no one dared to speak, but the fear that they dared not speak out turned into cold sweat, slowly dripping from their foreheads.
After an unknown amount of time, Yan Buhuai finally said hoarsely: "Dongdu?"
"..."
"Are they going to take action against Todu!?"
Yu Wenye said: "If my guess is correct...that's it."
Everyone suddenly became a little panicked. At this time, Wang Gong suddenly chuckled. He was sweating, but a twisted smile forced out of his pale face, which looked both funny and a bit ferocious. He forced himself to be calm and said: "The general's words are a bit alarmist."
"oh?"
Yu Wenye looked at him: "Master Wang, do you have a different opinion?"
Wang Gong smiled and said: "Although I don't understand military affairs, the Eastern Capital is the Eastern Capital after all. It is where the Emperor resides and is protected by the power of Heaven. Even if Liang Shide commanded 100,000 troops and had the help of Turks and Wanggangzhai, he would not be able to win it. From Dongdu."
After hearing what he said, several other generals seemed to have found a reason to feel at ease, and they all agreed.
"Yes, the city of Dongdu is strong and the defenders are brave. How can a small rebel army like Wanggang Village pose any threat to Dongdu."
"The general is too alarmist."
"In my opinion, we should set off quickly and seize this opportunity to capture Wanggang Village."
…
Listening to their words, Yu Wenye didn't show any displeasure. He just looked at them indifferently until Yan Buyai on the side whispered: "Does the general have any other worries?" Where?"
Yu Wenye said slowly: "Do you think that with the emperor's presence and the protection of God's power, everything will be fine in Dongdu?"
"..."
Wang Gong frowned and nodded.
Yu Wenye said slowly: "Then, if the emperor is not in Dongdu and the power of God does not protect Dongdu, then - what should we do?"
"What?!"
Wang Gong's eyes widened suddenly, and several other generals also stepped forward: "The general said that the emperor is not in Dongdu, how is this possible?"
At this time, Mu Xian walked up and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, when we were buying wine and meat in the villages and towns along the way two days ago, we heard the news from Dongdu - His Majesty is leaving Dongdu. Went south to visit Jiangdu Palace."
….
"Jiandu?"
Several generals looked at each other: "How come we don't know?"
Mu Xian said: "His Majesty probably issued the decree after we led the troops and left."
Those generals seemed to be hit by huge rocks one after another. Gradually, their beliefs were almost shattered. Pang Tianbao suddenly said: "I don't believe it. How could your Majesty leave the Eastern Capital at this time? Hebei was lost, the Turks were ready to move on the border again, and Wang Gang's army - if they really left Dongdu at this time, wouldn't it be
,Would not it be--"
He didn't even dare to say the next words.
But even if he didn't say it, everyone understood the significance of the emperor's tour of Jiangdu this time.
That is, give up the North completely!
If Shengjia is not in Luoyang and Dongdu is really lost, then wouldn't this group of people become pawns of the imperial court? Even if Wanggang Village is really captured, by that time, it will be a combination of offense and defense.
They have become masterless "rebels"!
The generals said one after another: "We don't believe His Majesty would do this!"
At this time, Yan Buyai, who was standing behind Yu Wenye, took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, this news should be true."
Everyone looked at him immediately.
Wang Gong sneered and said: "You are a small general, guarding Xingluo Cang, you know what is outside!"
Yan Bubad said: "Although I don't know what happened outside, if something happens outside, we will have arrangements to follow."
Upon hearing this, everyone became quiet again.
Zhao Shen said: "What are you planning?"
Yan Bubad said: "Just before you came, the imperial court had sent an order to transfer 300,000 shi of grain."
"Three hundred thousand?!"
When several people heard this, they were all dumbfounded, and several generals and soldiers nearby also said: "Yes, and it is urgent. Although it is our first time to garrison Xingluocang, we have looked through the previous records. There has never been a precedent for the imperial court to allocate so much food at once."
Wang Gong reluctantly said: "I'm afraid, if there is a disaster, the imperial court will adjust food and provide disaster relief."
Zhao Shen asked hurriedly: "Where were those grains sent?"
Yan Buhuai glanced at them, then looked at Yu Wenye, and said solemnly: "That batch of grain went directly to the south by water."
This time, everyone was completely quiet.
If something could be a coincidence, but all the things come together, it definitely cannot be a coincidence. What's more, 300,000 shi of grain has never been mobilized in any disaster relief effort on such a huge scale, and it was still transferred to the south. The weather in the south has been good and the people are prosperous over the past few years, so there is no need for such relief at all!
Therefore, there is only one possibility——
The emperor really wants to give up the Eastern Capital, and let alone the entire north!
They have become abandoned!
The desperate emotion surged towards them like a tide, swallowing them up in an instant. These people clenched their fists and gritted their teeth, as if they were resisting silently, and the strength generated from the resistance gradually turned into The anger gradually turned into flames and engulfed them.
In such a struggling mood, several generals suddenly raised their heads and looked at Yu Wenye——
….
"General, what are your plans?!"
Yu Wenye looked at them indifferently. The expression on his face did not have their anger or panic. Only a sharp gleam flashed through his cold eyes.
"Take it!"
The cold light flew and hit the bullseye firmly.
This is a wide training ground, hundreds of paces wide, enough to accommodate thousands of people practicing. But at this moment, all the people practicing had dispersed. Only Shang Ruyi took a bow and a tube of arrows. In an instant, the arrows hit the target.
Jiang Kesheng shouted softly from the side: "Okay!"
Shang Ruyi raised his head and looked at the archery target a hundred steps away. All ten arrows hit the target, and seven of them hit the bullseye. He had indeed improved a lot in the past few days of practice.
Shang Ruyi rubbed his fingertips and said with a smile, "It's still a little off."
Jiang Kesheng stepped forward and took the long bow from her hand, and said seriously: "Young Madam's archery skills are among the best not only among women, but also among the military."
Shang Ruyi smiled and said: "Don't coax me. There are many people in the army who can shoot through the air at a hundred steps. How can I be the best in archery?"
Jiang Kesheng said: "Although the young lady is not very accurate, her agility and agility are unmatched by others."
"oh?"
"Let's put it this way, at the same time, others may hit three out of three shots, but the young lady can hit four out of six. This kind of agility is very rare in war."
"That's it..."
Shang Ruyi suddenly smiled and said, "When you said that, I was reminded of a person. Hua Ziying, do you know this person?"
Jiang Kesheng said: "Little Li Guang from Wanggang Village. I heard that last time, it was him——"
At this point, he regretted his mistake and hurriedly shut his mouth, but Shang Ruyi smiled and said: "Yes, it was him who became Xiao Yuansui's last support and forced us to negotiate peace with them. In the end, Let the tiger return to the mountain."
"..."
"This man's archery skills are just like you said. He is light and agile. He can hit moving targets while walking, and his movements are several times faster than mine."
Jiang Kesheng also had a look of surprise on his face.
After a while, he sighed: "As expected of Xiao Li Guang."
Shang Ruyi said: "Feng Chen's archery skills are also very good, but the two of them failed to fight before. Do you think, if they really faced off, who would win?"
Jiang Kesheng said: "Of course it's the second young master."
Shang Ruyi laughed dumbly and said, "Didn't you just say that this kind of light and agile archery is rare in war?"
Jiang Kesheng said seriously: "It's rare, but when you meet the Second Young Master, there's nothing you can do about it."
Shang Ruyi did not expect that this man would defend Yu Wenye so much, even to the point of blindness. However, if he thought about it carefully, Hua Ziying's archery skills were indeed amazing. However, when Yu Wenye dueled with Ming Dy in the battle of Yanmen County, the divine arm bow showed His amazing strength is indeed unshakable.
Jiang Kesheng added: "The young lady may think that my subordinates are partial to the second young master. But the second young master's archery skills are definitely not comparable to that of a young Li Guang from Wanggang Village. As long as the second young master is not distracted, let alone a young Li Guang, even if he Even Xiao Yang Youji and Xiao Ji Chang are no match."
"..."
Hearing him say this, a smile slowly appeared on Shang Ruyi's face.
She said: "In this case, I will feel relieved."
Jiang Kesheng's eyes flickered and he suddenly said: "Young Madam, do you think the Second Young Master will meet Hua Ziying?"
Shang Ruyi was about to say something, but at this moment, one of Jiang Kesheng's men suddenly ran in from outside the martial arts training ground and said to them: "Young madam, brother, this is a letter from Taiyuan!"
