Yun Qing got the news the night Yan Wushuang arrived in Xiangzhou.
When Feng Dajun entered the camp, he saw Yun Qing's expression relaxed and asked: "The emperor, but what good news has come from the capital?" Feng Dajun was still the marshal, and the deputy marshals were Liu Yongnan and Tie Kui.
Yun Qing smiled and said, "Yan Wushuang has arrived in Xiangzhou."
Feng Dajun is also very clear: "The emperor, do you mean that the Donghu people have retired?"
"Even if they haven't retreated now, it's almost the same." The Donghu people have fought in Tongcheng for more than two months, which has greatly exceeded his expectations.
Feng Dajun was also very happy: "This is indeed something to be happy about." After the Donghu retired, they can send troops. Now Liaodong has no soldiers and horses, and they will surely succeed as soon as they send troops.
Yun Qing looked in the direction of Xiangzhou, and his eyes flashed inevitable. This time he must catch you, and then kill the scourge.
Originally, Yun Qing hated Yan Wushuang deeply, thinking that he would be smashed into pieces after he caught him in the future, and then thrown away to feed the dog. But now he changed his mind and prepared to leave a whole body for Yan Wushuang.
From this day on, the army began to enter a state of preparation for war.
Brother Rui was too excited. He has been in the army for more than two years and has not been on the battlefield. This time, his dream can finally be realized.
Bao Xiaoxiao looked at him like this and said amused: "I've never seen someone so excited on the battlefield. I don't know, I thought you were going to have a big meal!"
Qi Rui smiled and said: "I have always heard my elder sister say that fighting is exciting, I haven't experienced it myself." After his own experience, Qi Rui knew that all those Zaozao said were deceptive.
When Yan Wushuang arrived in Xiangzhou, he found that the situation here was worse than he thought. It's not that the morale of these soldiers is low, but that they don't want to fight at all.
Discovering this phenomenon, Yan Wu double-sided color is very ugly.
It was Yan Shaoqiu who was guarding Xiangzhou. He said helplessly: "Some people spread rumors in the army that as long as the Ming army comes, our soldiers will surrender and the Ming army will not only kill them, but will also entangle them. They go home." It is a huge temptation for ordinary soldiers to go home. After all, most of the ordinary soldiers want to live a stable life with their wives and children warming their heads, and they don’t want to live such a life of beating and killing their heads at any time.
"You didn't deal with it?"
Yan Shaoqiu smiled bitterly and said, "I have killed batch after batch. Up to now, more than a hundred people have been killed."
In fact, this is not a rumor, but a fact. Every time Yun Qing wins a battle, the soldiers who don't want to recruit and surrender will let them go home, and then will give them some food and food to let them go home.
"If this is the case, Xiangzhou is afraid that he can't stand it for three days." He originally thought about how Xiangzhou should be able to guard the junior for half a month. But in this situation, I'm afraid that the city will be broken at most three days.
Yan Shaoqiu was also Yan Wushuang's confidant. He said, "The emperor, you shouldn't have come to Xiangzhou."
Yan Wushuang smiled and said: "Xiangzhou can't keep it, and Shengjing will fall into their hands sooner or later." It's just that hiding in Shengjing can survive a few more days of fear.
Yan Shaoqiu was in a heavy mood.
Yan Wushuang smiled and said, "Actually, we are not without hope?"
Yan Shaoqiu looked at Yan Wushuang and asked, "The emperor, what do you have to do?" This was almost a dead end, so he was eager to know how Yan Wushuang would come back.
"You just do what I tell you." It would definitely be impossible to fight Yun Qing, but you can use other methods.
Yan Shaoqiu looked suspicious, but did not ask.
It was also in the evening of that day that Achi received the news of the withdrawal of the Donghu troops.
This was originally good news, but A Chi's face was unusually heavy. Because this is not the end, but just the beginning. In this battle with the Ming army, they have almost no chance of winning.
Grandpa Min was saying: "His Royal Highness, the imperial concubine and empress invite you to go back for dinner." Every time when it comes to the meal, Yuchen will send someone to ask Achi to go back.
Achi put aside his business and went to Ruyi Palace.
When I arrived at the Ruyi Palace, I saw A Bao was pestering Yuchen and asked Yuchen to intercede for her to go to Xiangzhou.
Seeing Achi coming, Yuchen smiled and said: "Achi is here, tell him yourself."
Ah Chi frowned when he heard this, and said, "Abao, I told you that Xiangzhou is about to go to war. It is very dangerous and you can't go." Add chaos.
A Bao said angrily: "You said that the war in Tongcheng is dangerous and not let me go. Now that there is going to be a war in Xiangzhou, you also said that there is danger not letting me go. Brother Huang, why is there no danger in this war?"
Achi was annoyed: "You are a girl's house, why do you have to go to such a dangerous place?"
"I have been practicing martial arts for so many years, so naturally I want to apply what I have learned. Besides, what's the matter with the girl? Yun Lan is still a second-rank lieutenant, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands!" Yun Lan can go to the battlefield. Kill the enemy, why can't she.
Yuchen said: "Yun Lan is a man-in-law, is it possible that you also want to be a man-in-law?" It's not better than anything, and I have to compare it with Yun Lan. The battlefield is not a playground for fun, the sword is speechless, and you will die if you are not careful.
A Bao was very disappointed when he heard this: "Mother concubine, you are also a woman, so why do you say such things?" If a capable woman is called a man's wife, no one wants it. Not only men think so, but women also think so. Bao feels really sad.
Achi is unwilling to argue with Abao about these meaningless things: "Mother concubine, is the food ready? Am I hungry?"
In a word, successfully shifted the topic away.
After having dinner, Achi told Abao to return to his palace: "I have something to tell my concubine."
A Bao was very dissatisfied: "No matter what you do, I like to hide it from me." She looked down upon her if she didn't worry about anything.
After muttering a few words, seeing Achi looking at her, he could only leave the Ruyi Palace in anger.
Yuchen asked, "Achi, what's the matter?" It didn't feel like a good thing.
Achi said with a heavy face: "Mother concubine, the Donghu people have retired. Once Yun Qing knows this news, he will definitely send troops."
Xiangzhou has only 140,000 soldiers and horses, but the other side has 500,000 troops. Moreover, the opponent's combat power is still higher than theirs, and the two armies have no chance of winning in the battle.
Yuchen clasped her hands involuntarily. When she was nervous, she couldn't help but make this action: "Then when are you going to take Abao away?"
"Mother concubine, we are not taking Abao," he said, Achi's eyes were red: "Mother concubine, you don't really want to leave me and Abao alone?"
Yuchen smiled bitterly and said: "My concubine is old and in poor health. If she falls ill on the road, it will drag you down." So she has been struggling. I don't want to be a burden for the siblings, and I am afraid that the siblings will have a bad life in the future.
When Ah Chi heard this, he pretended to smile and said: "Don't worry about the mother concubine, the emperor father has made careful arrangements." As for the specifics, he didn't say much.
"Mr. Rong, consider it again!" She was really entangled, and still couldn't make up her mind.
Achi didn't say more. The tighter the pressure, the more embarrassing the mother and concubine. After all, he is not strong enough. If not, it won't make the mother concubine so embarrassed.
Looking at Yuchen whose brows were tangled together, Mother Gui brought in a cup of rose honey tea, and smiled: "Mother, why is it so embarrassing?"
Yuchen took the tea and said, "Mother, Achi wants me to go with him, but I'm afraid of dragging them down."
Madam Gui smiled and said, "Manny, no child feels that his mother is a drag. If you follow them, they will feel at ease."
"If I leave, what will you do, Mother?" Mother Gui celebrated her 70th birthday at the beginning of this year. As I get older, my health is getting worse and worse. Although Yuchen didn't know where he was going, it would be far away. At this age, Mother Gui, taking her away is harmful to her.
Madam Gui was relieved: "Niang, old slaves are people who have both feet in official positions, what can you worry about?" It's also a profit to be able to live safely to this age.
Yuchen couldn't bear it. Mother Gui came to her when she was six years old, and the two of them have hardly left in these years. Now I can't bear to leave Mother Gui alone.
Mother Gui smiled and said, "Manny, as long as you and the third prince and princess are in good health, I will be stunned even when I reach Jiuquan." Her body knew it, she didn't have many days. If he can live till now, he has been raised with good medicine.
Yuchen couldn't help crying again.
Although Yan Wushuang and A Chi tried their best to block the news of the Donghu retreat, Yun Qing still knew.
Gathering all the high-ranking generals, Yun Qing happily said to everyone: "The Donghu people have retired."
Liu Yongnan immediately called for a fight and asked to be a pioneer.
Feng Dajun took a step slower, and immediately scolded Liu Yongnan: "Fuck you, I'm still here, which round will you be the vanguard? Majesty, Lao Feng, I will catch Yan Wushuang's bastard alive; come back."
Du Zheng, Lu Fei and others also want to be the vanguard! But they didn't dare to compete with Feng Dajun for fear of being scolded.
However, Tie Kui had no such scruples, and immediately stood up and asked to be the vanguard.
Feng Dajun dared to scold Liu Yongnan and others, not only because he had the highest military position, but also because he was the oldest. But the problem is that Tie Kui's seniority is high, even Yun Qing had to call him uncle, and Feng Dajun would not dare to scold him no matter how courageous he was!
All of the generals present are qualified to be the vanguard. Yun Qing smiled and said, "To be fair, let's decide by lottery!"
Feng Dajun was the first to catch, and after grasping and opening, he scolded: "My mother, I am actually empty." This means that he has no chance to be the vanguard.
The first five are empty, leaving the last one. Looking at Lu Fei, Feng Dajun smiled and cursed: "You're a cheap bandit. I knew I was the last one." Feng Dajun's nickname is a lunatic, Lu Fei's nickname is a bandit, and Cui Mo's nickname is Blindfold. Just looking at these nicknames, everyone must think this is a group of bandits.
The lottery relied on his luck, and it was his luck that finally landed on Lu Fei, and the others had no objection.
