When Shang Ruyi heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Before Yu Wenyuan left Dongdu, he solemnly reminded them to pay attention to the news he sent from Taiyuan, but in the following days, there was no movement there, and Shang Ruyi did not dare to neglect it. Even when he came to Zhuangzi, he still let The news came from Taiyuan.
Finally, I waited for today.
She hurriedly took the letter from the man and opened it. There was only a thin piece of paper inside.
After unfolding it, Shang Ruyi's expression suddenly condensed.
Jiang Kesheng and Tu Sheer who were guarding her side also looked at her intently. After a while, they heard Shang Ruyi take a deep breath and murmur: "This is good..."
As soon as he heard the word "good" from her mouth, Tusheer's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked: "Miss, is there any good news?"
Shang Ruyi glanced at her and then at Jiang Kesheng next to him. Although he didn't say much, his eyes were obviously as eager as Tu Sheer's, wanting to know what good news there was. Looking around again, there were only a few brothers around Jiang Kesheng left on the martial arts training ground. In the distance, Chang Wan and Wuxue seemed to be busy in the kitchen, and a puff of green smoke rose from the roof.
Shang Ruyi said in a deep voice: "The Turkic problem has been solved for the time being."
"Turk?!"
Tusheer's eyes widened, a little confused, but Jiang Kesheng pondered for a moment and immediately said: "The Turks no longer invade the border? But haven't they always--"
Shang Ruyi closed the letter and said slowly: "Dad sent people to the Western Turks Yazhang several times to express goodwill to Princess Qiancheng and Ashinatong. Their previous attitude was still hesitant. However, since the battle of Yanmen County, , Ashina Tsari was wounded by Feng Chen's arrow and lay dormant for several months. Their attitude became much more relaxed, and this time, they even sent an envoy to Taiyuan."
Jiang Kesheng said: "But even so, Ashina Tsari will not give up revenge easily."
Shang Ruyi said: "Yes. It's just that this time, the Western Turkic envoy died on the road."
"What?!"
Everyone was startled, and Jiang Kesheng immediately said, "Did someone from the East Turks do it?"
"..."
Shang Ruyi didn't speak. She only glanced down at the letter in her hand. She slowly folded it and put it back into the envelope. Then she said, "Of course it was the people from the East Turks who did it. Otherwise, who else could have done it."
Tusheer frowned and said, "The Turks are so bad!"
Shang Ruyi said: "It's the people from the Eastern Turks who are too bad."
Tusheer nodded immediately.
Jiang Kesheng thought for a while and said, "Then the current situation is-"
Shang Ruyi turned to look at him and said: "Ashina Tong was young and vigorous. He originally led his people to hunt near Chicheng. When he knew about this, he directly killed the Eastern Turks' Chaluye protectors. After that, the Eastern Turks' The people also sent troops to retaliate, but Princess Qiancheng sent people to intercept them, but the two sides have fought several times, so the territory of Shanxi is now temporarily stable."
The men next to him immediately laughed and said, "This is a blessing in disguise for us."
Shang Ruyi also smiled: "Yes."
Jiang Kesheng said: "So, now the Turks are no longer a threat to the Duke."
….
Shang Ruyi nodded: "Yes."
In fact, it is not just the Turks who are in trouble.
When Sheng Guogong was appointed as Shanxi's pacifying ambassador and commanded the court's troops, the court was also worried that he had different intentions, so he sent many generals to supervise the army. Therefore, even if he was sent to Shanxi, his every move was still there. Under the emperor's nose.
But now, it's different.
Because Yu Wenye was put on trial in Dali Temple, Princess Sheng proposed to demote herself to three levels and stayed in Taiyuan. She no longer led the imperial troops and defended against the Turks. In doing so, he naturally fulfilled the emperor's wish, weakened himself to show his loyalty to the court, and also rescued his son.
But at the same time, he also solved a problem.
Those eyes that the imperial court left by his side, because the imperial court
Ting took back his troops and horses, and those people were all cleared away!
In other words, now that there is no threat from the Turks above Duke Sheng's head, and there is no more surveillance from the court around him, he can now fully demonstrate his abilities in whatever he wants to do!
Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi was shocked.
She suddenly felt that all of this was a little too logical, even smooth, as if someone was playing chess step by step, and brought the situation to the current result step by step.
In the memory, Yu Wenyuan's thick-browed, imposing face became blurred for an instant, and was replaced by his amiable-looking eyes that even bent into two crescents when he smiled. In this At times, it appears profound and shrewd.
Even deeper and more refined than she could have imagined!
Perhaps, from the beginning, his "weakening" was not forced.
Maybe, from the very beginning, even to this day!
If this is really the case, we can only say - destiny!
Shang Ruyi suddenly felt a tremor, as if a huge picture called fate was slowly unfolding in front of her eyes. She seemed to see something, but then, she was wrapped in the huge picture, unable to move. It's up to you to roll and flop along with the huge waves.
Just when she was a little distracted, Jiang Kesheng suddenly said: "Young Madam, apart from these, did the Duke say anything else?"
"..."
Shang Ruyi calmed down and turned to look at him.
Shaking his head: "No."
Jiang Kesheng frowned slightly: "You didn't say anything, what do you want us to do?"
Shang Ruyi still shook his head.
In fact, there is no need to write this kind of thing in a letter at all. After all, Yu Wenyuan is also an extremely cautious person. Even if what is written in this letter is about what happened in the Turks, his words are very pertinent, even if it is criticized by others. Seeing it, I can't find anything wrong with it.
There will be no traces of anything done, let alone written letters.
However, although he didn’t write a word, he was still writing every word——
Now, he has no foreign troubles and no surveillance from the imperial court. It is not difficult to do anything he wants to do. His only worries are that he stays in Dongdu and Yu Wenye, who is leading the troops outside.
So now they...
Shang Ruyi thought for a while and suddenly asked: "How long have I been here?"
Jiang Kesheng said hurriedly: "It's been three days."
….
Tusheer added: "Miss, the day after tomorrow, His Majesty the Emperor's team heading south will set off."
"the day after tomorrow,"
Shang Ruyi murmured: "In other words, at the latest, we have to leave for the Eastern Capital tomorrow."
At this moment, the man who presented the letter said, "Madam, brother, I still have two things to report."
Jiang Kesheng immediately said: "If there is anything else, Chen Tang, please tell me quickly."
Chen Tang said: "The people we sent found out that Liang Shide led one hundred thousand troops and set out from Hejian two days ago. They were moving very fast and were approaching Luoyang."
"Two days ago?!"
When Shang Ruyi heard this, he couldn't help but gasped.
Before, they all speculated that Liang Shide was going to use troops against Dongdu, but when they thought about it, they didn't expect that he would move so quickly, or even arrive two days ago.
In other words, almost immediately after she left Luoyang, these people were pressing on Luoyang.
When Jiang Kesheng on the side heard this, he couldn't help but frown. He thought for a while and said, "Young madam, there is a map in the council hall."
Coincidentally, Shang Ruyi also wanted to see the map, so he immediately asked him to lead the way, and the group hurried into the meeting hall in front. Wuxue and Changwan on the other side saw that their faces were wrong, so they both came over. Jiang Kesheng spread a map directly on the ground. He was obviously very familiar with the nearby terrain, and immediately found the location of the river and pointed to it. With a sharp stroke, he pointed towards Luoyang.
He made an estimate in his mind, and his face suddenly darkened.
"Liang Shide's army acquired a lot of horses after dealing with the Turks, and they were mainly cavalry. If they really set out from Hejian two days ago and were moving at full speed, then - they would be able to reach Luoyang in two days !」
"Two days from now?"
Upon hearing this, Tusheer on the side was dumbfounded: "Then are they going to fight directly against His Majesty the Emperor's chariot?"
Jiang Kesheng's expression became more tense and he looked up at Shang Ruyi.
At this time, Shang Ruyi's body was also covered in cold sweat.
But she still tried her best to calm down and look at Luoyang and Hejian - in fact, she had very few opportunities to look at maps. Except for her father who pointed her to see it a few times when she was a child, Yu Wenye also took her to see it a few days ago. There are many signs on the map.
And then there’s——
In Ziwei Palace, a warm dock that looks like a fairyland on earth, there is a huge map spread on the ground.
And that handsome man dressed in white and wearing Oriyu Immortal Shoes stepped on the map, like a banished immortal, and he had no interest in this world.
He guided this country because of his own love, but his love only arose because of himself, not because of this country.
Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi said softly: "No, they want to use troops against Dongdu just when the emperor has just left."
"Why?"
"Because, with his--his Majesty's behavior, as long as he leaves Dongdu, he will not look back. No matter what happens in Dongdu, the place he wants to go is his goal."
Jiang Kesheng said: "What do you mean, young lady, even if there is a fight behind you, Your Majesty will not come back to help?"
Shang Ruyi nodded gently: "That should be the case."
Jiang Kesheng gasped and said, "If this is the case, then the people in Dongdu City will be more desperate than ever."
"That's right,"
Looking at the map, Shang Ruyi's fingertips became cold. She could even imagine that the defenders in the Eastern Capital City knew very well that they were abandoned by the imperial court, and they were attacked by the rebels just after the emperor left. attack, but the emperor abandoned them without looking back.
At that time, even if there was a strong city and sufficient food and grass...
But how long can a shattered heart hold on?
She suddenly understood that the person who came up with such a plan must know Chu Yang very well and understand people's hearts better.
Is it Lei Yi, Lei Yu?
Or Xiao Yuansui?
But no matter which one of them it was, even now, two days before Liang Shide's army entered Luoyang, she seemed to have seen the outcome of the war.
She frowned and was silent for a long time. Suddenly she remembered something and said to Chen Tang: "You said there are two things to report, what is the other one?"
