"so boring… "
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it's almost summer.
Yu Fu lay down on the couch, put his feet up on the table, holding a history book that he had read several times, and was bored.
Yao Lan came in from outside the hall, Yu Fu had already ordered that no one else was allowed to enter the hall, and she was the only one to serve.
Seeing Yu Fu's two tender little feet on the table, she pursed her lips and smiled, "No wonder Your Majesty sent everyone else out, that's why."
"Yao Lan, I'm too bored to go out and play."
Yao Lan was a little surprised, "Your Majesty usually reads booklets or meets ministers, and also reads books in his spare time. How could he be bored?"
She has never heard the word boring from Yu Fu's mouth, and she always feels that only those boudoir girls with big breasts and no brains can say these two words.
Yu Fu sighed, "The exchange of blood in the court, and Zhang Jiuque, who was newly appointed as the Taibao, is very effective in his work, and everything is fine. There are four brothers and six brothers in the Ministry of War, and even the rebel army against General Ouyang has been very nervous recently. Quiet, what else do you think I can do?"
She pointed to the few notes on the imperial case, "Oh, it's lonely to be well-governed and harmonious..."
Yaolan burst out laughing.
Emotional Yufu just wants to boast that she is good at governing the country, well-versed in politics and has nothing to do
She couldn't figure it out.
The things that Yufu just said were indeed going well, but the most critical problem was in Xikun, which had not been resolved for a long time, but Yufu didn't care about it.
Just like what she said to Gu Huaijiang back then, pretend it didn't happen.
That's what she seems to do.
Yu Fu turned over in boredom, propping her cheeks with both hands, "Why don't you send someone to Xikun."
Yao Lan was overjoyed, but she heard Yu Fu say: "Send someone to fetch Kun Wu's injury, he has dedicated the whole of Xi Kun to me, Bei Li, and he should come to the capital to see me."
Yao Lan was instantly discouraged, "Why do you still care about him..."
Yu Fu snorted softly, "I don't care about him, but since he lost Xikun, he seems to be very free and wants to care about me. Why don't I bring him to the capital and put him with Kun Junyue, let them The two brothers fight each other every day to see who will win?"
Yao Lan's goosebumps almost came out.
"I heard that Prince Xikun was about to go crazy staying in the post house. If Kun Wushang was sent in at this time, it would be no wonder he wasn't torn apart!"
Even if Kun Junyue didn't tear him apart for him to seize the throne, he would tear him up because he handed over Xikun's great rivers and mountains.
Yu Fu sneered, "He deserves it. If Kun Junyue doesn't tear him up, I will tear him up sooner or later."
Yao Lan was about to open her mouth when she suddenly heard a notification from outside, "Your Majesty, General Ouyang sent someone to send back the military report. Please preview it."
"I'm worried about being bored, isn't this here?"
Yu Fu got up from the couch, stroked his temples lightly, and then said in a voice that changed from a girly girl to a low voice, "Let him in."
"Reporting to Your Majesty, after receiving the reinforcements sent by His Majesty, General Ouyang sent all the main force of his army to the front line to fight. The rebel army retreated steadily, and now they have retreated to Lingnan!"
"It's a happy event."
Yu Fu smiled reservedly, holding the military report sent back by General Ouyang in his hand, looking at ten lines at a glance, "Lingnan is known as a hundred thousand mountains, and it is the most easy to defend and difficult to attack. Yin Shuo led the rebel army to start the first battle from Lingnan, and now It can be said that it is fate to retreat back to Lingnan again. I will remember his contribution and reward the army when it returns to the court."
The soldier folded his fists and knelt down, "General Ouyang asked his subordinates to ask His Majesty face to face, given the current situation of the rebel army, does His Majesty want the army to attack the south of the Five Ridges and wipe out the roots, or temporarily retreat to defend the northern border?"
If the army is sent south to cut grass and roots, the loss of troops and material resources will be greater, and the front will be stretched longer, which will easily cause problems in the supply of food and grass.
Attack means an adventure.
But the lottery of this adventure is very attractive. The complete eradication of the rebel army and the capture of Lingnan will play a decisive role in stabilizing the situation in the mainland of Kyushu.
Yu Fu was sitting in the Hall of Longevity, holding this thin military report in his hand, it was not so easy to make a decision at the moment.
Yao Lan reminded softly: "Your Majesty, do you want to invite the Grand Master, Grand Tutor, and Tai Bao to discuss this matter before making a decision?"
Yu Fu thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"I have lived in Dongling for so many years. I know Dongling's terrain, customs, and customs, so I dare not make arbitrary decisions. What about the Taifu and the others? They don't understand the situation on the frontline battlefield even more than I do. How can they win for General Ouyang?" idea?"
She gradually understood the truth that in a time of peace when the country was stable, these civil servants could not be relied on to make decisions on the battlefield. They valued the stability of the court more than they could understand the dangers of those fighting on the front lines.
In the past, there was a civil strife in Beili, and the officials in the court were chaotic and the civil and military ministers advanced and retreated together. This kind of ills did not appear. Now that Beili has a well-organized government and people are harmonious, and the battlefield is in Dongling and Xikun, this disadvantage is becoming more and more obvious.
This is also the reason why she has reduced her dependence on Bao Taifu and others recently.
She thought for a moment and said: "Tell General Ouyang that Dong Ling's battlefield is under his full authority. Whether to continue to attack Lingnan or retreat here, I believe in his decision. I will arrange a supply of food, grass, and military supplies for him in the rear. Just send someone back to ask for it. If he chooses to retreat, I will prepare a celebration banquet in advance and wait for him."
The soldier standing on the ground couldn't hold back the red eyes, and knelt on the ground with a thump, "My subordinates thank His Majesty Long En on behalf of General Ouyang and the frontline soldiers!"
Yu Fu waved his hands and said to Yao Lan, "Let the Imperial Academy draw up an edict, it's a big matter, and it can't be counted just by oral instructions."
Yao Lan nodded, and led the soldier towards the outside of the hall.
Lingnan, sunny.
It was only May and the sun was very scorching. The rebel army retreated to a deserted town in the mountains. When they came, it was as empty as a dead city.
Under the sun, tired and lazy soldiers walked through like corpses. Some lay down and dozed in the shade of the trees by the side of the road, and some sat behind the wall and drank water.
Because of the hot weather, their clothes were disheveled, and their tall and straight military uniforms were wrinkled and dirty. They looked more sloppy than the peasants who were farming, and they did not have the heroic appearance of soldiers at all.
Not long after, a small group of well-dressed soldiers passed by, causing the person on the wall under the tree to take a look and sneer.
This small team is the direct subordinates of their leader, Mr. Yin, and they are the only ones who wear so many clothes in hot weather and walk so straight.
—Do you really think of yourself as a soldier
"What does it look like? You are already a serious soldier, do you still think of yourself as a farmer squatting in the field row picking your feet?"
Someone whispered, but the straight figure collapsed unconsciously.
The leader was Yin Shuo's subordinates. He glanced behind him and said nothing, "Take this basket of lychees to the eldest son."
"yes."
Lingnan is rich in lychees, and this is the freshest batch just picked.
They saw a large lychee grove on the mountain, picked a few at random and tasted it, and found that it tasted very sweet, presumably it was lived by a local farmer.
Since the uprising, the farmers have all fled and became refugees, and the lychee grove was deserted, so they simply plucked it and ate it themselves, and picked a basket of the best ones to send to Yin Shuo.
Several soldiers put the lychee baskets on the corridor and retreated. The subordinates stood outside the door and did not hear any movement in the room.
In fact, they lived in this house before, Yin Shuo lived in this house, it was originally the house of the young lady who was about to get married.
He still remembered that the soldiers in the army had misbehaved with that young lady, and the young lady simply offered herself to Yin Shuo in order to avoid humiliation, but Yin Shuo didn't appreciate it.
Later, the lady died.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling chills down his back, wondering why Yin Shuo wanted to live in such an unlucky house.
Live as long as you want, and hope to lock yourself in there alone.
"Young master?"
He raised his hand and knocked on the door twice, but there was no movement.
"My lord, I'm a subordinate."
This time there was some movement, and the subordinate was about to push the door, when he suddenly felt that the movement inside was not right.
It seemed that someone was talking to himself, or it was like the trembling of a witch or a Taoist priest pretending to be a ghost, or it was like... raving in a dream.
That's right, Yin Shuo was talking in his sleep again.
He has become more and more sleepy lately, and he will have seizures no matter at night or during the day. Some soldiers even saw him come out with his eyes closed like a ghost in the middle of the night, and then quickly returned to the house by himself.
Many people in the army had heard him talking in his dreams, sometimes he called Yufu in his dreams, and more often he called Danyang.
The former is the name of Beili, and the latter is the name of his wife.
The subordinate put his ears on the window and listened carefully to what he was saying, and he heard Yin Shuo's sharp voice, full of fear and anxiety, "Danyang, I won't go, I don't want to die!"
He seemed to be having some sort of nightmare, and suddenly there was another loud panting sound and the creaking sound of the bed board. The subordinates knew that he had woken up, so they walked in.
"My lord, are you having nightmares again?"
Yin Shuo's face was pale, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, "What's the matter?"
If he hadn't heard his desperate cry in his dream, it would have been difficult to match the indifferent and solemn person in front of him with what he had just seen and heard. He always closes himself and does not accept anyone's concern.
The subordinate cupped his hands and said: "The doctor said that the young master's illness is caused by accumulated depression and heart disease. You must be cheerful. The subordinate thought to himself, why don't you change the young master to a more open yard?"
"No, it's fine here."
Yin Shuo didn't mind that someone died here, even someone who died because of him.
The subordinate said: "We saw a lychee forest on the mountain, and the lychees were very fresh, so we picked some and brought them to the eldest son to taste. You can eat some fresh fruits, it will be good for your illness."
"Don't believe in depression and illness, I'm not sick at all."
Only then did Yin Shuo get up, and saw fresh lychee baskets placed under the corridor, still covered with water vapor, the red and green colors were very sweet and lovely.
He looked at his subordinates with a pale face, his eyes were bloodshot, "If you have the leisure to do this, why not strengthen your defenses, and be careful that Ouyang Qi's army invades the Shiwan Dashan."
The subordinate quickly looked up at him, his thin face had prominent cheekbones, his complexion was pale, and his eyes were blood red...
Shaped like dry bones, like ghosts.
He is so sick and insists that he is not sick, no matter what others say, he does not believe it.
The subordinate gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, young master. This subordinate still thinks that the young master should change to another yard. This room is very dark, don't you think, young master? In the past, this young lady seemed to have died here..."
"Is this lady?"
Yin Shuo smiled fearfully, "Don't worry, she talked to me just now, blame me for not accepting her."
The hair on the subordinate's back exploded, and when he saw the creepy smile on Yin Shuo's face, he always felt that there was a ghost hiding in a dark corner of the room.
He looked around subconsciously, but Yin Shuo lay down again indifferently, "I'm sleepy, you go out."
There are a total of twelve hours a day, and he is asleep for almost ten hours. He doesn't care about the affairs of the army, and he doesn't care about the defense of the periphery.
Ouyang Qi's army may attack at any time, he doesn't care about anything, just repeats living in a dream.
The subordinate was stunned for a moment, and finally exited the room, closing the door behind him.
He finally realized that the rebel army had come to an end, and their lives were like cicadas on a lychee tree in summer—
Ephemeral, mediocre, nobody cares...
Encouraged by Yufu's reply, Ouyang Qi decides to attack Lingnan in one fell swoop.
Different from Yu Fu's worries, what he worried about was not the topography of the 100,000 Mountains in the south of the Lingnan, but that when the army marched towards the south of the Lingnan in one fell swoop, they would be attacked from behind.
What he was worried about was the Dongling court, and that the cowardly and cowardly Ning Chengzhi would do something like the last time he refused to provide food and grass.
Should his fears come true, he and his army will be on the receiving end.
