"so boring… "
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it's summer.
Yufu lay down on the couch, tilted his feet on the table, and was bored with a history book that had been read several times.
Yaolan came in from outside the hall, and Yufu had told him not to allow others to enter the hall, leaving her alone to serve.
She saw Yufu's two tender little feet on the table and pursed her lips, "No wonder your Majesty sent all the others out.
"Yaolan, I'm too bored to go out to play."
Yaolan was a little surprised, "Your Majesty usually reads the papers or sees the ministers, and he also reads them in his free time. How can he be boring?"
She had never heard the word boring from Yufu's mouth. She always felt that these two words could only be said by the kind of boudoir lady who had no brains.
Yufu sighed, "The exchange of blood in the DPRK, plus Zhang Jiuque, who has been newly named as Taibao, is very effective. Everything is fine. The Ministry of War has a fourth and sixth brother, and even General Ouyang's rebellion against the rebels has been very good recently. Be quiet, what do you think I have to do?"
She pointed to one of the few papers on the imperial case, "Oh, Zhengtong Renhe is also very lonely..."
Yaolan laughed out loud.
Feeling Yufu just wants to boast that she governs the country and has nothing to do with her politics
She didn't understand.
The things that Yufu just said went smoothly, but the most critical issue was in Xikun, and it was still unresolved, but Yufu didn't care.
As she said to Gu Huaijiang at the beginning, as if it hadn't happened.
She seemed to do just that.
Yufu turned over boredly, supporting his cheeks with both hands, "Why don't you send someone to Xikun."
Yaolan was overjoyed, but listened to Yufu said: "Send someone to pick up Kunwu's injury. He has already dedicated the entire Xikun capital to Beili. It is also right to come to see me in the capital."
Yaolan was instantly discouraged, "Why are you still thinking about controlling him..."
Yufu snorted, "I didn't care about him, but since he lost Xikun, he seems to be very free and cares about me. How about I get him to the capital to be with Kun Junyue and let them The brothers pinch each other every day to see who will win?"
Yaolan's goose bumps are almost coming out.
"I heard that Prince Xikun was going crazy at the post house. If Kun Wu's injury is sent in at this time, it will be strange if he is not torn apart!"
Even if Kun Junyue didn't tear him to pieces for him to seize the throne, he would also tear him to pieces for him to send out the great rivers and mountains of Xikun.
Yufu sneered, "He deserves it. Kunjunyue won't tear him up, I will tear him up sooner or later."
Yaolan was about to speak, and suddenly heard the announcement from outside, "Your Majesty, General Ouyang sent someone to send back to the military newspaper, please preview it."
"Zhengshou is boring, isn't this here?"
Yufu got up from the couch, stroked her temples lightly, and then opened her voice to turn from the girl's delicate to a low voice, "Let him come in."
"Return to your majesty, after receiving the reinforcements sent by your majesty, General Ouyang transferred all the main forces of his army to the front line to fight. The rebel army has been retreating repeatedly, and now it has retreated to Lingnan!"
"This is a happy event."
Yufu smiled reservedly, holding the military report passed by General Ouyang in his hand, looking at ten lines, "Lingnan is known as a hundred thousand mountains, the most easy to defend and hard to attack. Yin Shuo led the rebel army from Lingnan to start the first battle, and now The tortoise retreats back to Lingnan again. It is also a fate. I will remember his merits, and I will be rewarded again when the army returns to the DPRK."
The soldier knelt on his knees with his fists, "General Ouyang asked his subordinates to ask your Majesty in person. With the current situation of the rebel army, does your Majesty want the army to attack Lingnan and remove the roots, or to temporarily retreat to defend the northern border?"
If the army goes south to cut the grass and remove the roots, the loss of troops and materials will be greater, the front will be drawn longer, and the supply of grain and grass will easily cause problems.
Offensive means an adventure.
But the color of this adventure is very attractive, completely eradicating the insurgents and attacking Lingnan, which has a decisive effect on stabilizing the situation in the Kyushu mainland.
Yufu sat in the Hall of Longevity, holding this thin military newspaper in his hand. It was not so easy to make a decision at the moment.
Yaolan reminded softly: "Your Majesty, do we need to invite the Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao three gongs to enter the palace to discuss this matter, and then make a decision?"
Yufu thought for a moment and shook his head.
"I have lived in Dongling for so many years, and understand Dongling's terrain, customs, and people, so I dare not make arbitrary decisions. What's more, Taifu and the others? They don't understand the situation on the frontline battlefield even more than I do. How can I help General Ouyang? idea?"
She gradually understood a truth. In a peaceful period when the country is stable, these civilians cannot make decisions on the battlefield. What they value more is the stability of the court rather than the perils of those fighting on the front lines.
In the past, the Beili civil turmoil and the civil and military ministers in the imperial government of the Korean government advanced and retreated together, this kind of malaise did not appear. Now that Beili government is in harmony with people, and the battlefields are in Dongling and Xikun, this ill will become more and more obvious.
This is also the reason why she has reduced a lot of reliance on Bao Taifu and others recently.
She thought for a moment and said: "Tell General Ouyang that Dongling’s battlefield will be presided over by him with full authority. I believe his decision whether to continue attacking Lingnan or retreating. I will 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 soldiers standing on the ground couldn't hold back their red eyes, and knelt on the ground with a thud, "Subordinates, for General Ouyang, thank your Majesty Longen for the frontline soldiers!"
Yufu waved his hand towards Yaolan and said, "Let the Hanlin Academy draw up the decree. This is a big deal, and it is impossible to do it by verbal instructions."
Yaolan nodded, and walked out of the hall with the soldier.
Lingnan, sunny.
It was only May Sun, and the rebel army retreated to a deserted town in the mountain. When they came, it was empty and like a dead city.
Under the sun, weary and lazy soldiers walked through like corpses. Some lay and dozed under the shade of the trees on the side of the road, while others sat behind the wall and drank water.
Because of the hot weather, their clothes were disheveled, and their upright military uniforms were wrinkled and dirty. They looked more sloppy than the crops who were farming, and they did not have the heroic appearance of a soldier at all.
Not long after, a small group of well-dressed soldiers passed by, and the people at the root of the tree under the wall took a look and let out a sneer.
This squad is a direct subordinate of their leader Yin Gongzi, and they are the only ones who wear so much on a hot day and walk so straight.
-Can you really treat yourself as a soldier
"What does it look like? You are already a serious soldier, and you still treat yourself as a farmer squatting in the ridges and picking your feet?"
Someone whispered, but his straight posture collapsed unconsciously.
The head of Yin Shuo's subordinates, he glanced behind him, and said nothing, "Send this basket of lychees to the old man."
"Yes."
Lingnan is rich in lychees, this is the freshest bunch just picked.
They saw a large lychee grove on the mountain, picked a few and tasted it and found that it tasted very sweet, and they wanted to come to live with a local farmer.
Since the uprising, the farmers have fled and become refugees, and the lychee forest has been deserted. They simply picked them and ate them, and picked a basket of the best to send to Yin Shuo.
Several soldiers put the lychee baskets under the porch and walked out. The subordinates stood outside the door and heard no movement in the room.
In fact, they had lived in this house before. Yin Shuo lived in this house, which was originally used by the married lady.
He still remembered that the soldiers in the army treated the young lady unruly. The young lady simply dedicated herself to Yin Shuo in order to avoid humiliation, but Yin Shuo showed no sympathy.
Later, the lady died.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling a chill in his back, wondering why Yin Shuo wanted to live in such an inauspicious room.
Just live, and I hope to keep myself alone.
"Grand Prince?"
He raised his hand and tapped the door twice, but there was no movement.
"Grand Prince, it's a subordinate."
There was some movement this time, and the subordinate was about to push the door, and suddenly felt that the movement inside was wrong.
It's like someone is talking to himself, it's like the trembling of a goddess or Taoist pretending to be a ghost, and it's like... babbling in a dream.
Yes, Yin Shuo is dreaming again.
His dreams have become more and more serious recently, and they will happen at night or in the day. Some soldiers even saw him come out like a ghost in the middle of the night with his eyes closed, and soon returned to the house by himself.
Many people in the army have heard of his dreams. Sometimes he called Yufu in his dreams and Danyang more often.
The former is the name of the Princess of Beili, and the latter is the name of his wife.
The subordinate put his ear on the window and listened carefully to what he was saying, and he heard Yin Shuo's voice a bit sharp, with fear and anxiety, "Danyang, I won't go, I don't want to die!"
He seemed to have a nightmare. Suddenly, there was a big gasp and the creak of the bed board. The subordinates knew that he was awake, and then walked in.
"My son, have you had a nightmare again?"
Yin Shuo's face was pale, big beads of sweat rolled off his forehead, "What's the matter?"
If he hadn't heard his desperate cry in his dream, it would be difficult to match the indifferent and solemn person in front of him with what he had just seen and heard. He always keeps himself closed and does not accept anyone's care.
The subordinates said: "The doctor said that the son's illness is a depressed disease, a heart disease, and he must be cheerful. The subordinate thought privately, why don't you give the son a more open yard?"
"No, it's good here."
Yin Shuo didn't mind that one person died here, or even someone who died because of him.
The subordinates said: "We saw the lychee forest on the mountain. The lychees were very fresh, so we picked some and sent them to the eldest son to taste. You can eat some fresh fruit, which is good for the condition."
"Don't believe that depression becomes sick, I am not sick at all."
Yin Shuo just got up and saw the fresh lychee baskets under the corridor, still carrying water vapor, the red and green colors were very sweet and lovely.
He looked at his subordinates with a pale face, his eyes full of bloodshot eyes, "With this leisurely mind, it is better to strengthen the defense and watch out for Ouyang Qi's army to invade the hundred thousand mountains."
The subordinate quickly raised his head and glanced at him, his thin face with prominent cheekbones, his face pale, and his eyes red...
Shaped like dry bones, resembling ghosts.
He became so sick and insisted that he was not sick, and he didn't believe it no matter what others said.
The subordinate gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, son. The subordinate still thinks that the son should change to a yard. The room is so dark, don't the son think? This lady in the past seemed to have died here..."
"Is this lady?"
Yin Shuo smiled silently, with a terrible smile, "Don't worry, she just talked to me just now, blame me why I didn't accept her."
The subordinate's spine exploded, and seeing the grim smile on Yin Shuo's face, he always felt that there was a dark corner in the room hiding the ghost.
He looked around subconsciously, but Yin Shuo lay down again indifferently, "I'm sleepy, you can go out."
A total of twelve hours a day, he was asleep for almost ten hours, he did not care about the affairs of the army, he did not care about the defense of the periphery.
Ouyang Qi's army may call at any time. He doesn't care about anything, just repeating his dream life.
The subordinate was stunned, and finally exited the house and closed the door.
He finally realized that the insurgents had come to an end, and their lives were like cicadas on lychee trees in summer—
Short, mediocre, no one cares...
Ouyang Qi was greatly encouraged by Yufu's reply and decided to attack Lingnan in one fell swoop.
Different from Yufu's concerns, he was not worried about the topography of the Shiwan Mountain in Lingnan, but worried that when the army marched towards Lingnan in one fell swoop, he would be attacked behind him.
He was worried about the Dongling court, and worried that the faint and weak Ning Chengzhi would do something like the last time he refused to provide food and grass.
Once his worries come true, he and his army will be enemies.
