According to historical records, when the prince was half a year old, the northwestern border of the Chu State was suddenly attacked. The three cities that the original Qiuci State had donated were all taken back, and the people were slaughtered. All of a sudden, there were mourning and bloodshed. into a river.
When the urgent battle report for thousands of miles was sent back to the capital, Chu Jinglan threw the jade seal on the spot.
"Damn! How dare a small country with a small bullet be so rampant! I will definitely ask Qiuzi to get these thousands of lives back!"
Several people present hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, calm down!"
Having said that, they couldn't swallow the breath themselves - how could such a small country in the Western Regions have the courage to break the contract and attack the city? Killing so many people in Chu country is really brutal! If he doesn't fight back, what is the prestige of his great Chu country? Where is justice
That night, Huaili and Chu Zhenghe handed over and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, I invite you to fight!"
Chu Jinglan was still angry, but did not immediately agree to them. Instead, he turned his head and stared at the city defense map on the imperial case. After a while, he suddenly asked, "Yuan Shu, how are the provisions and weapons prepared?"
Pei Yuanshu bowed slightly and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, the minister has transferred some from Lingnan, and we can temporarily maintain the needs of the 100,000 army."
"Enough." Chu Zhenghe's eyes narrowed into thin knives, full of undisguised killing intent, "Qiuzi thought that we had just experienced the civil war and our vitality would be severely damaged, and 150,000 horses would dare to wash Qinyang Pass with blood. Once the Great Chu Iron Cavalry comes out, I will teach them to come and go!"
Ye Huaili said: "We still have to detour. They have already occupied the three cities and seized a lot of food and grass. Some of them cost us time. We have to think of a clever way to not confront them head-on."
The treasury is empty, and the various resources in hand must be carefully calculated and used.
When his words came to the point, Chu Jinglan cast an admiring look, and then said: "In recent years, Qiuci has made a lot of money by virtue of the Silk Road, and has greatly improved in armament and strength. As vulnerable as you were back then, you must not be careless. In my opinion, the only way to win is to attack separately and defeat them at the same time."
"Your Majesty means..."
"The three cities are not far apart, the troops are evenly deployed, and they have formed a continuous trend. If any city is attacked, other reinforcements will be attracted. Our troops are relatively small. If the consequences of being pinched again are unimaginable, it is better to launch an attack at the same time. In this way, the disparity in troops will be within the controllable range, and there will be no worries."
Chu Zhenghe pondered for a moment, and said, "What the emperor said is very true. It is the so-called "remaining unchanged to respond to all changes. We want to be the party in control of the situation, and we cannot let them take the lead."
"But even if the minister and the prince are separated, there is still one city that no one will lead to attack. Your Majesty, you are not planning to..."
Ye Huaili was afraid that Chu Jinglan would say the four words "Yu Jia personally expedition", but he forgot the etiquette of being a courtier, so he held his breath and looked at him, he smiled clearly, and said slowly: "Uncle Guo forgot, spring The imperial examination has selected many young talents to come up, and Wei Tang, the champion of martial arts, has both high martial arts skills and a full read of military books, so he may be able to use it."
Yes, how could he forget about this, the court has now absorbed a lot of fresh blood, and it is no longer the situation that no one could use when Chu Jinglan first took over last year.
Ye Huaili lowered her head and said, "This minister was negligent."
"It's okay." Chu Jinglan waved his hand and said to the two of them, "But after all, you don't have much actual combat experience, and this is the first time you're leading troops. You must strictly follow the guidelines to avoid mistakes."
"The minister's province."
The people have been settled, and the rest is about the issue of supplies. Later, they discussed it carefully for a while, and only a few people retired until they were completely finalized. When they were leaving, Chu Jinglan specially stopped Ye Huaili.
"You go to Yang'er to have a look."
Ye Huaili frowned slightly, and said, "I understand."
In previous years, Ye Huaiyang had sent him away from home. This time, she was not in good health and could not see him off. She must be awkward for a while. In order to reassure her, he should say goodbye to her.
Thinking of this, Ye Huaili turned around and walked towards the Taiji Hall, with a figure like the wind, leaving a faint shadow like ink wash.
He really found the right time when he went. Ye Huaixin happened to be here. When Crescent Moon brought him into the hall, the two were playing with Chu Xiang around the shaker. Listening carefully, the conversation made him laugh and cry. .
"Hey? Why did he jump into my arms?"
"Xiang'er, mother is here, that's uncle, don't get me wrong!"
Ye Huaili's cheeks twitched a few times, then she lifted the beaded curtain and walked in. Sure enough, she saw Chu Xiang crawling towards Ye Huaixin on the rocking bed, Ye Huaiyang took him back and sat down. After a few seconds, he started kicking his legs again, just persevering. If he was lively and active, he might not be like him in the whole Ye family.
Soon Ye Huaiyang gave up reasoning with him, and simply shoved him into Ye Huaixin's arms.
"Then go and smell him if he has a mother's fragrance."
Chu Xiang giggled and grabbed Ye Huaixin's nose with the little fat hand he had just eaten. The saliva stained his face, and he dodged in embarrassment, but Chu Xiang was even more excited, leaving a string of crystals on his face. On the placket, he wanted to cry but had no tears, so he had to ask Ye Huaiyang for help.
"Sister, take him away, please!"
Ye Huaiyang was so happy to be the shopkeeper. Not only did he not help him, but he pretended helplessly and said, "Who taught you to have the same face as me? No way, wait for him to play enough."
"Then I won't be able to go out to meet people!" Ye Huaixin hurriedly tore off the fat hand, looked up and saw Ye Huaili, his eyes lit up, "Brother, save me!"
Ye Huaiyang turned around in amazement, and when she saw the handsome figure, she immediately smiled.
"Brother, why are you here?"
"Let's see you and Xiang'er." Ye Huaili said and walked to the side of the shaker, her normally stern face showed a touch of love, "Xiang'er is getting more and more naughty."
"That's right, big brother, help me teach him a lesson."
After speaking, Ye Huaiyang quickly moved Chu Xiang into Ye Huaili's hands, and he hurriedly hugged him, only to feel that there was a heavy little meat ball in his arms, heavier than the sword he usually held, carefully. Looking at it, it was almost impossible to cover the bottom of the purple shirt, and half of the white flesh on the stomach was exposed, which was really funny.
But Chu Xiang also looked at him like this, not as noisy as before, just eating his hand quietly, occasionally raising his white and tender face to look at him, his round and big eyes flickering, affecting the slender The thick eyelashes made Yuxue more and more cute, which made people feel pain in their hearts.
Ye Huaili suddenly remembered Ye Huaiyang when she was a child.
He was eight years old when she was born, the age at which he knew a little bit about everything. He saw his mother's stomach slowly swell into a ball and then suddenly collapsed. Then two identical dumplings came to him, one of them When he opened his eyes, he smiled at him. Although he was wrinkled, he immediately fell in love with him.
Later, the powder dumpling gradually grew up, could walk and jump, and loved to stick to him more and more. The soft little body always rubbed against his arms, and it was very heavy, just like the current Chu Xiang.
It's really time like running water, the powder dumplings have given birth to small dumplings, if there is anything he can't be satisfied with, it must be Chu Xiang's appearance - it was all taken away by that man, and he did not inherit it from Yang'er at all.
Still, he liked it.
"Xiang'er, this is Uncle, do you recognize him?"
Ye Huaiyang guided him, he tilted his head and looked at it for a long time, then suddenly grinned with a small toothless mouth, and put his wet fingers to Ye Huaili's mouth, as if he wanted to eat him , Ye Huaiyang suddenly became jealous.
"You don't give it to your mother if you want to eat it, but give it to your uncle!"
Ye Huai was helpless on the surface, but she was happy in her heart. She took out a hand and touched Chu Xiang's head, and said, "Xiang'er is good."
After all, he sat next to him with Chu Xiang in his arms. Chu Xiang curiously played with the accessories on his waist without making a fuss, so a few adults chatted about serious matters.
"Yang'er, how is your waist?"
Ye Huaiyang smiled and said, "It's much better."
Here again, every time I ask her, I say yes, but it's been half a year since I took the medicine and I don't know how long it will take. It's very hard to see her hug Chu Xiang, and her every move is not as flexible as before, Ye Huaili. My heart is really hurting.
She thought he didn't know that she was accidentally abducted by the White Lotus Sect just to buy him a birthday present, and the root cause of her illness has since fallen.
Ye Huaili's chest was gloomy, but Ye Huaixin didn't notice it, but asked strangely, "Brother, didn't you discuss important matters of the military aircraft with His Majesty and the others? Why did you have time to come here?"
"The discussion is over." Ye Huaili paused and looked down at Chu Xiang in her arms, "Tomorrow, the prince and I will lead troops to Qinyang Pass, so I'm afraid we won't be able to attend Xiang'er's birthday ceremony."
"Walking in such a hurry?" Ye Huaiyang was slightly startled, and stopped wiping Chu Xiang's saliva, "The northwest wind is blowing in the sand, and there are often poisons such as sand snakes. You must be careful when you march. Heng still wants to deliver medicine, I will ask him to bring you some special antidote."
Saying that, she was going to ask Crescent Moon to go to the Tai Hospital, and she also wanted to give Ye Huaili the soft hedgehog armor and heart protection that the vassal state paid tribute last time, but Ye Huaili quickly stopped her and said, "I'm not It's the first time you go out to fight, what can you do? Stop busy and put your heart in your stomach."
Chu Xiang called out, and then began to blow bubbles at Ye Huaiyang, making her laugh and laugh.
"You don't understand what mother and uncle are saying, what's the fuss about." Ye Huaiyang pinched his chubby little face, turned to look at Ye Huaili, and sighed slightly, "Then you must Pay attention to safety, get rid of those barbarians as soon as possible, we will wait for you to come back."
"Okay." Ye Huaili smiled faintly, full of certainty.
He has always been committed to defending the territory and the people. Ye Huaiyang understands that because this is his destination, she can't slow him down because of fear of danger, that's not right.
She carried Chu Xiang back, raised his little hand and said to Ye Huaili: "Xianer, I wish uncle bravely defeat the enemies and bandits, and return with a great victory!"
Chu Xiang shook her arms excitedly, as if she really understood what she was saying, which made a few adults laugh.
Ye Huaili touched his tender face and sighed softly, "I'm afraid that Xiang'er has already become a big baby when my uncle comes back. I don't know if I will recognize my uncle."
Ye Huaiyang said with a smile: "Of course, Xiang'er likes uncle the most, right?"
"Puff-puff-" The Bubble Maniac answered them with practical actions.
