With the sergeant guards from Xiliu Camp, everyone's hearts are in suspense, and now they are a little more stable.
Ruochan sat on the couch, drinking water continuously.
Gong Yanggui walked over and took her water glass: "What are you doing drinking so much water, I'm so scared that I want to drink."
Ruochan glanced at him and said calmly: "I will fall asleep after drinking, what should I do if there are bad people coming."
Gong Yanggui looked down at her with guilt and pity on his face.
"Come on," he said, "with me."
The corners of Ruochan's lips moved, as if she wanted to evoke a mocking smile, but she didn't.
Gong Yanggui brought a piece of clothing, put it on her body, sighed, and said in a low voice, "Since you're so afraid, why are you trying to be brave just now, and you can't hide."
"Didn't you hear that those Zhuzi wanted to arrest me and burn down the house." Ruochan said.
"Are you okay when you come out?"
"At least I can hold off when I come out, and you said you would come to me." Ruochan said firmly.
Gong Yanggui looked at her, he couldn't laugh or cry, but his eyes were deep. He held Ruochan's hand without saying a word.
I looked at them and sat beside A Mi quietly.
The tranquility after the tension, many people are exhausted.
The servants in Ningxiang Hall, A Yuan and the wet nurse all went to sleep, and A Mi was also sleeping soundly on the couch. I sat by the side, but not sleepy at all, and asked Gong Yang Gui about Wei Tan.
Gong Yanggui didn't shy away from it, and told me one by one.
Southern sergeants are good at water warfare, but land warfare is the strength of the North. Liang Wen was eager to go north to plunder food and grass, Wei Tan simply feigned a shot, trying to lure the enemy into a deep siege, and used his own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses.
This matter is of great importance and has been kept secret. Wei Tan went to Xin'an in the name of inspection rather than expedition; he took advantage of Ding's grain requisition to clear up the Runan and Taiyang areas from Xin'an; he wrote me every now and then to reassure me, Second, it can also show that he has no intention of fighting.
Liang Wen's sneak attack at night was deliberately lured by Wei Tan. That night, Wei Tan took advantage of the darkness to send most of his troops to the rear to form a deep formation, bluffing with only 5,000 people in the water village, intending to put all Liang Wen's troops in and wipe them out in one fell swoop.

"Da Sima's plan was very thoughtful, and he specially practiced it at night, saying that the northerners are not used to water warfare, so they chained their own buildings and boats." As he spoke, the corners of Gong Yang's lips curled up, "What the hell is Liang Wen?" I was impatient, thinking that I could repeat the old trick of Qiling, but Cui Yu couldn't stop it. This plan was also the best strategy, but unexpectedly, when Da Sima was retreating, he was suddenly attacked by his own ship. Fortunately When the fourth son built the boat, he set up a hiding room to escape from the fire, and the people on the boat are also proficient in water, otherwise, the big thing will almost be ruined."
As I listened to what he said, I felt my heart beating fast.
"You said that this plan was done carefully," I said, "but he happened to be attacked when he was pretending to be defeated, so it can be seen that something has leaked."
Gong Yanggui nodded: "If Da Sima keeps it secret, Wei Zhao, as the second son, will still know about it."
I don't speak, the context of the matter is already very clear. After Wei Tan was attacked, he sent him away as planned. During the chaotic battle, the fire destroyed Wei Tan's buildings and boats. Lu Zheng believed that he was dead, so he rushed back to Yongdu to report Wei Zhao's funeral. I thought of Lu Zheng crying bitterly and the wound on his face, and I sneered in my heart, the play was really good, and it made me cry a few times.
"And then?" Zhou and Mao couldn't sleep, so they leaned over and asked, "Why don't they come back?"
Gong Yanggui said: "There are two reasons. First, Liang Wen acted cautiously. After crossing the river, he was not in a hurry to go deep. He ordered the scouts to explore the road first and search for food and grass in various towns. In order to lure him, Da Sima had nowhere to go. The villages and towns were scattered, as if the defenders and villagers were fleeing. Liang Wen's rear was in short supply of food and grass. After many days of probing, most of the troops crossed the river and attacked. As for the second, "he looked at us , said, "He suspects that someone in the court is colluding with Liang Min, and he is afraid that the news will leak out after he shows up."
Zhou and Mao and I looked at each other in blank dismay. We all know who this collaborator in the court is.
"Elder Sima also knows about the funeral in Yongdu, but the battle ahead is intense." Gong Yanggui's expression was meaningful: "Second Young Master really did a good job of assassinating in a scuffle, but it's a pity that the latter was too stupid. While he was attending the funeral, On the one hand, he wanted to take over the soldiers in front and continue to kill Liang Wen. But the big Sima blocked the news, and there was no answer from the front. The second son panicked, thinking that the soldiers were in chaos, and Liang Wen was approaching, so he thought about moving the capital with Guo Cheng and the emperor. According to the other side. It's a pity, besides his uncle, he also has another uncle, so tired that he got burnt."
"Aren't they worried about me waiting? They don't report a letter." Mao complained a little, "It's like today, it's scary to death."
"Yongdu Xiliu Camp is an elite division of the imperial court. The great Sima once ordered Cheng Mao to guard Yongdu without any risk." Gong Yanggui paused and said, "As for the matter of blocking the news, it is also a matter of chance. The current situation Well, if it leaks that Da Sima is still alive, when Mrs. Guo leaves tonight, she will definitely bring several wives with her."
Mao nodded slightly and said nothing more.
I thought about it, and said, "Why did the second uncle abandon the city? Wei Kang has evil intentions, and he must enter the city to seize the emperor. The second uncle knows that Xiliuying will fight for it with all its strength, and then..."
Gong Yanggui nodded: "Sit back and reap the benefits."
"Naughty beast!" Mrs. Zhou cursed bitterly.
"What about now?" Mao asked, "What will happen to them?"
"I don't know." Gong Yanggui looked at the twilight sky outside, and smiled faintly, "We'll see who the second young master can keep safe."
Before I fell asleep, Cheng Mao came to see me at Ningxiang Hall. He was dusty and dusty, and his armor and sleeves were stained with blood. It could be seen that he had fought all night, but he was still full of energy.
He reported to me that the Xiliu camp had taken control of the entire city, the city gates and the palace, and all the looting bandits had been wiped out.
He also told me that when Wei Kang was fleeing, he was shot dead by the ballista equipped by Wei Jian on the city wall.
This news is undoubtedly exciting. Although there are still dangers at the moment, I can breathe a long sigh of relief from the temporary stability and the fact that Wei Tan is still alive.
This time, I slept peacefully, and when I woke up, it was already afternoon.
After all, the Ningxiang Hall is not a place to stay for a long time. I discussed with Zhou and Mao that I should go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to have a look.
When I was about to leave, I saw Ruochan standing in front of the window on the second floor, looking over here.
I handed Ah Mi to the wet nurse and went upstairs.
"I'm going back to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Seeing Ruochan, I said.
Ruochan smiled lightly and said, "Yes."
"Did you sleep well last night?" I asked, looking at her unpainted face.
"It's all like this." Ruochan helped the bun on her head, raised her hands and said, "I used to stay up all night with banquets, I'm used to it."
I smile.
"Where is Mr. Gongyang? Where is he?" I asked.
"Where else can it be?" Ruochan leaned on the soft couch, lifted her chin out of the window, and joked, "There are so many things to do every day, he is busier than the emperor."
