The next day when Yan Chi got up, he heard Bai Ying say that Qin Wan and Wan slept very late last night, Yan Chi couldn't help laughing, and told Qin Wan not to get up before going to the camp.
After winning the previous battle, and now resting for another seven or eight days, the entire Wuzhou City has become more and more alive.
It's just that the two envoys from Fengzhou City were very anxious, as soon as Yan Chi entered the camp, they came to ask to see him again.
Yan Chi ordered Gu Ling to bring the two of them over, and when he saw the envoy, he said, "I didn't ask you to come here to promise Lord Hou, you send a letter there immediately, telling Lord Hou that Yongning County Master is in Wuzhou City, and tell him not to Worried, this king has to think about one or two things about joining forces."
When the two heard this, they were very surprised. Naturally, they didn't expect Yue Ning to come to Wuzhou City.
Yue Ning was Yue Qiong's apple of the eye, the two of them didn't dare to delay, so they rushed to deliver the letter, and Yan Chi summoned the generals to discuss matters.
On this side, Qin Wan and Yue Ning woke up and the sun had already climbed into the sky. Qin Wan couldn't help laughing, and quickly got up to ask someone to prepare breakfast. Yue Ning recovered after a good night's rest. After getting up, Wei Qizhi Over there also came over, after eating, Yue Ning wanted to visit the camp.
Although Yue Ning had followed Yue Qiong in Jinzhou for many years, he had never seen a real battlefield, so Qin Wan took Yue Ning and the two to the West Camp. He was resting, but still kept practicing, knowing that Shuoxi's army was not in vain, he felt a little restless for a while.
Knowing that they were coming, Yan Chi invited the group to the tent, and told Yue Ning that she had sent her news to Fengzhou, Yue Ning thanked her with a guilty conscience.
When she came out this time, she didn't dare to tell her family what Yan Ze committed, I'm afraid everyone still can't understand, what's more, she agreed to the marriage before, or the queen mother gave it to her, so she ran away like this, and everyone didn't know No matter how worried you are, now that you have arrived in Wuzhou, you have to tell Yue Qiong.
When Yue Ning left, she was full of depression and didn't know how to speak. Thinking that Qin Wan was in the west, it was as if she had a head start, but now that she saw Qin Wan, she didn't know what the future would be like in her heart. She was only afraid that Yue Qiong would order her After returning to the capital, I absolutely do not want to see Yue Qiong for a while, but after seeing the appearance of the army, I am moved to join the army, but in this world, no one allows women to go to the battlefield...
Wei Qizhi really came here with a gift, and when he mentioned it to Yan Chi, Yan Chi called Xiao Cheng, who was in charge of military equipment, and the three of them went to talk, Qin Wan took Yue Ning around the camp, Yue Ning's complexion gradually became serious, "When I didn't see you, I thought it would be good to see you, but now that I see you, I don't seem to know what to do again."
Qin Wan looked at Yue Ning and sighed, "This doesn't look like you anymore, is it Yanze's fault?"
Yue Ning shook her head, "That's not true. I feel a lot of guilt towards my third brother. I've buried this idea in my heart for many years since I was a child. I thought it would be good to marry him just to forgive my sins, but I didn't expect He is that kind of person."
Qin Wan frowned and said, "I always feel that there is something related to his blindness."
Yue Ning quickly looked at Qin Wan when she heard the words, "What do you say?"
"You said that revenge was mentioned in the letter between him and the queen. In fact, this revenge refers to the revenge of Princess Yi. Princess Yi died of poisoning, and after being poisoned, it will make people deaf and blind. Then there is the danger of life, Princess Yi died because of this poison, I don't know what is the cause of Yan Ze's eye disease."
Yue Ning stopped abruptly, "You mean... it's possible that the third brother was also poisoned? It's not because he saved me?"
Qin Wan nodded, "Yes, but I'm not sure."
Yue Ning stood there frowning, her mood even more gloomy for a moment.
If this is the case, then Yanze should have known for so many years that she always felt guilty, how could he bear it? !
Seeing Yue Ning's expression, Qin Wan took Yue Ning's hand, "I'm telling you, just to let you know that Yanze is unfathomable, and anything is possible. If you still feel guilty now, in fact No need, her eye disease has also been cured."
Seeing Yue Ning frowning all the time, Qin Wan said, "You and I go somewhere."
Yue Ning didn't know where Qin Wan was going, Qin Wan said as she walked, "You were right to come to me, as long as you don't love Yan Ze deeply, and suffer from being deceived by him, then you should put aside the troubles in the capital now." Si, right now, we are in Wuzhou."
Speaking of the two leaving the west camp and getting on the horse, Qin Wan took Yue Ning straight to the wounded barracks.
As soon as she arrived at the wounded barracks, Qin Wan started to get busy again, and Yue Ning followed behind her, feeling a little dazed for a while.
There were no wounded soldiers in the west camp. She saw the familiar appearance of the Jinzhou camp, but in this wounded barracks, there were wounded everywhere. The dressing needs to be changed every day, or the wounds are on the hands and feet, or the chest and abdomen. In this hot weather, many people's wounds are pus and oozing, and the recovery is very slow. Seeing this scene, Yue Ning instantly felt a sense of confrontation The heaviness of death.
And what are other emotions compared to death? !
Qin Wan was also polite, and directly asked Yue Ning for help. Today, the two of them got busy together.
It was late in the afternoon that Qin Wan and Yue Ning had time to rest. Yue Ning was sweating from exhaustion, and Qin Wan also had a sore back.
"I know I've won a battle before..."
Qin Wan took a sip of cold tea and sighed, "Although it was a victory, there were more than a thousand casualties. What you see now are all survivors, and some died on the battlefield and couldn't be brought back, and some were sent back But I couldn’t save them, and watched hundreds of people die.”
When Yue Ning heard this, she felt a chill on the back of her neck, and she also calmed down from the daze.
Qin Wan said, "Since you're here, I won't let you idle. I'm not good at fighting, but I come here to help every day. How about you come with me?"
Yue Ning twitched the corners of her lips, "Naturally."
Yue Ning had previously thought about going to the battlefield, but at this moment, she didn't dare to rashly say that she was going to join the army. She had never seen a real battlefield, and after seeing the wounded barracks, she felt even more in awe. I don't want to cause trouble for Qin Wan.
Yue Qiong's second handwritten letter was delivered to Wuzhou City early the next morning.
Yan Chi saw the letter, and said to Gu Ling and the others, "The Marquis of Anyang said that he had sent a letter to Chongzhou, but there was no reply for the time being. They will wait for us in Wuzhangyuan in four days, whether we go or not."
Yu Qi smiled and said, "Master Hou is very sincere."
Yan Chi thought for a moment, "Since that's the case, we'll go to the appointment in four days. Gu Ling, Xiao Cheng, you two should make some preparations in the next few days, and then discuss with Yang Jia. Then we must withdraw the whole army. Yes, Wuzhou City is still handed over to them, but the supply must not be interrupted."
Gu Ling hurriedly said, "The general understands, and will explain it clearly to Zongbing Yang."
Qin Wan knew that Yan Chi would attend the appointment when he heard the agreement in Yue Qiong's letter. That night, when he was having dinner with Wei Qizhi and Yue Ning, he asked, "Since the appointment is four days later, can we leave on the same day?"
Yan Chi said quickly, "I have to leave the day after tomorrow, so I can arrive at noon on the fourth day."
"I want to go together, and Yue Ning also wants to go together. Since I'm here, I'm always going to see my adoptive father."
Yue Ning has lost her temper now, and she doesn't resist anything anymore, so she naturally obediently obeyed when she heard the words.
After dinner, Yue Ning thought about the fun and went to the wing to rest, and Yan Chi was satisfied to rest with Qin Wan.
Now that the appointment was made, the envoys from Fengzhou left Wuzhou. Gu Ling and others organized their troops for two consecutive days. On the morning of the third day, Yan Chi took a thousand elite soldiers to Wuzhangyuan. It took more than a day to walk, and everyone on the road hurried all the way, and finally arrived at the meeting place at noon on the fourth day.
The first spies came to report back ten miles away, and Dao Yueqiong only brought a thousand soldiers and horses to wait in front.
Wuzhangyuan is very close to Fengzhou, Yue Qiong was the first to arrive, when Yan arrived late, he saw that Yue Qiong had already set up a large tent for discussion, Yue Qiong brought Yan Qi and seven or eight other generals over today When the two parties meet each other, they both feel that things are right and people are wrong.
Especially when Yue Qiong saw Yue Ning and Qin Wan, she was quite sighed for a while, after some pleasantries, Yue Qiong focused on business, and invited Yan Chi, Yu Qi and others into the discussion table.
In the tent, Yue Qiong was quite enthusiastic towards Yan Chi, but Yan Qi's expression was lukewarm. Yue Qiong thought that he was against it before, so she didn't say much when she saw this.
"I really didn't expect you to send troops. If it wasn't for that, Wuzhou City would have already fallen into the hands of barbarians."
Yan Chi and Yue Qiong sat on the main seat at the same time, and the two generals sat facing each other. Yan Chi heard the words and said seriously, "Your Majesty's sincerity is touching, I just came here, since that's the case, let's talk about the business." , now I bear the name of a traitor, and the soldiers and horses led by Lord Hou also came to conquer the queen earlier. Now that Lord Hou wants to join forces, I don’t know what everyone’s plan is for the Shuoxi army, and I don’t know Are you worthy of Shuoxi Army's help?"
Having said that, everyone in the Shuoxi army had a cold look on their faces, while Yue Qiong hurriedly said, "Don't worry about this, now that foreign enemies are in front of us, and we are all on our own in front of Rongman, let alone me Well aware of your nature, this is the first time I want to join forces with you. Now you and I join hands to defeat Rongman first, and then you go back to your Shuoxi. We will never stop you, and if Rongman suffers a big defeat , will definitely retreat, we just need to join hands with Dao Rongman to retreat, and leave the matter of recovering Cangzhou to us. At that time, you can come and go freely, not only you, I also wrote a letter to Chongzhou, it is really this time The army and barbarians are coming fiercely, and it may become a national disaster for the Great Zhou."
Yan Chi looked at the other generals coldly, and saw that the expressions of the others were determined and calm, and he felt a little relieved. After looking at Yan Qi, Yan Qi hurriedly said, "Yan Chi, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Because it’s fate to see you again and fight side by side, I agree with Lord Hou’s method, at least, we can’t let outsiders take advantage of it, Cangzhou has fallen, we have to guard Fengzhou well.”
Even though Yan Qi said so, his eyes twinkled. Yan Chi knew that Yan Qi might disagree at first, but it was not unexpected.
On the contrary, Yue Qiong and others can trust one or two, and Yue Qiong said that he only needs to join hands until the soldiers retreat, which is exactly what he wants.
If they drive the Rongman to Canglong Mountain together, without the restraint of the Rongman, it is really hard to say how the Jinzhou army will change, but as long as the Rongman is still half threatened, the most important thing for Yue Qiong is the Rongman, not them.
"Okay, since that's the case, we will join forces to retreat from the enemy, but the Shuoxi Army and the Jinzhou Army are not really joining forces. How to send troops and what the strategy is, we have to discuss together. In the end, we decided to put all our efforts in the hands of the king and Lord Hou. , Shuoxi Army doesn’t need anyone to point fingers.”
Yan Chi said with a warning, Yue Qiong was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Okay! This is naturally as it should be! So! The Rongman can't last long! Yanchi, Wuzhangyuan is the best place to garrison troops. Today, I brought five hundred Tent, let them set up the tent for you later, when your people arrive, you will also have a garrison first, and when your side is ready, we will fight off the enemy together, today I also ordered people to prepare some wine and food—”
"The enemy is now, Lord Hou doesn't have to be like this. I'm afraid Yue Ning doesn't want to go to Fengzhou with Lord Hou. Master Hou should talk to Yue Ning first, and Lord Hou will leave later. The battle in the city is tight, and our resident will also leave." There is no need for Master Hou to bother."
Yan Chi was doing official business and didn't show affection at all. For a while, Yue Qiong and the other generals of the Jinzhou army were cautious and did not dare to belittle them.
Seeing Yan Chi's insistence on this, Yue Qiong naturally complied. The arrangement of preparing the food and drinks was originally done by Yan Qi. He thought it was unnecessary, but he was afraid that Yan Chi would treat them too hard. Now it seems that it is really too much, so Yue Qiong said again, "Okay, I'll give you two days to set up camp for now. After three days, we'll see you in your camp. We'll decide on a strategy and give the Rongman a quick blow!"
Yan Chi agreed, and Yue Qiong went to talk to Yue Ning.
In the small tent next door, Yue Qiong sat on the main seat, looking at Yue Ning sternly, "Why did you escape from marriage?"
Yue Ning was a bit stubborn and didn't look at Yue Qiong, but said, "Father knows about my daughter's temperament, there must be a reason, father doesn't need to ask more." After a pause, Yue Ning said, "I just want to remind father that the third brother is not It seems so simple on the surface, father must not let him join the Jinzhou Army."
Before leaving, Yue Ning heard that Yan Ze was going to join the Jinzhou Army, she didn't know what Yan Ze was for, but she couldn't let him succeed.
Yue Qiong squinted her eyes, "What happened? You don't tell your mother, your brother, or your father?"
Yue Ning clenched her fists tightly, and said after a long time, "Back then when the Empress and the Crown Prince fled the capital privately, everyone thought it was Prince Rui who helped them, but in fact, it was the third elder brother who helped them. I watched in Prince Yi's mansion When it comes to the letter from the third brother and the queen—"
Yue Qiong's eyes widened in disbelief, Yue Ning looked at Yue Qiong, "Based on this matter alone, Prince Yi's house can be raided all over, and the third brother is not as indifferent as he appears on the surface. His thoughts are probably even more unfathomable than his father's, how can a daughter marry such a person?"
